    Donations can be for any amount up to $600 (or more).
  • Individuals can make multiple donations (i.e. monthly, quarterly, etc.) to the same organization in a given year and have the supplemental dollars provided when the paperwork is received and processed, however the donations will only be supplemented up to the $300 maximum supplement.

A monetary gift of cash, check or money order will be supplemented by Thrivent Financial or one of the subsidiaries. Stock or mutual fund share transfers are also eligible.
