Thrivent Choice Dollars

If you are a Thrivent member and have received a notice that you have Thrivent Choice Dollars^SM available to direct to a charitable organization, we encourage you to direct them to either Trinity Lutheran Church or Trinity Academy, or both.  Choice Dollars received will go into our Technology fund which supports many areas of ministry. The system serves both our church and academy, and is critical for the daily operation of both the church and academy.

Choice Dollars allocated to you during the calendar year can be directed until March 31 of the following year.  For example, you can direct Choice Dollars designated to you in 2011 until March 31, 2012.  You can enroll with Thrivent Financial now to have them sent to us monthly as they are allocated.

To be eligible for Choice Dollars, you must be a benefit member age 16 or older, having $800 or more in annual premiums of qualifying insurance products or have $20,000 or more in contract value of qualifying products.

Member eligibility under current eligibility requirements is determined monthly, and these eligibility requirements are re-evaluated on an annual basis.

Our congregation has 138 people eligible for the Thrivent Choice program. 54 of those 138 have participated. So if YOU are eligible and have NOT yet designated your Thrivent Choice dollars, PLEASE do it now! You can give the dollars to Trinity Church or Academy OR other Lutheran organizations. If you have any questions, please contact Meridith Anderson 715 -808-0526.
