To get their money you must be a Thrivent member. This Thrivent company is a respected, highly rated insurance and financial planning American company. They are known for their donation program, which is based on a percentage of the money they make. I have donated to my local church and other local 501c3 groups via Thrivent as do most other Thrivent members. I have used their seed money to get supplies for my fellow church volunteers to make 50 Swedish Apple Pies we sold to raise money for the 2016 Crop Walk.<BR>

Thrivent was once called Aid Association for Lutherans. It changed its name when it decided to drop the requirement to be a Lutheran. It was started by Norwegian and Swedish immigrants (often farmers) who could not get loans or insurance from banks and other institutions who scorned the Norski immigrants. After all, you know, they spoke poor English with an accent. <BR>
