Absolutely. We’d be honored if you’d direct your Choice Dollars toward the support of our 100 missionaries at work among the least-reached in 20 countries around the world.
How it Works
Thrivent Choice is a program designed to give Thrivent members the ability to direct Thrivent’s charitable outreach funds to their favorite charities. (In order to participate in Thrivent Choice you must own a Thrivent product e.g., insurance, annuity, etc. which meets certain requirements.) Thrivent calls these funds ‘Choice Dollars.’ The amount of Choice Dollars which eligible members can direct to charities like WMPL is directly related to the contracts held with Thrivent. As such, Thrivent Choice is not a “matching-gift” program; it is not in any way dependent upon donations which you may or may not make to WMPL.
How to Participate
Eligible members may allocate their Choice Dollars to WMPL in one of two different ways:
- A quick phone call to Thrivent will do the trick (1-800-THRIVENT). You will first need to say “Thrivent Choice” to the automated answering service and then you should be able to speak with a live operator.
- Alternatively, you may visit Thrivent’s website to make your selection online.
All Choice Dollars for a given calendar year must be allocated before March 31 of the following year. Thrivent deposits Choice Dollars directly into WMPL’s account on a monthly basis. We are thankful that Thrivent Financial has supported WMPL through the years via this and other charitable giving programs.
