Ways Thrivent Financial Member-Owners Can Help Sheridan Lutheran Church

Direct Your Thrivent Choice Dollars

Thrivent member-owners can show their support for Sheridan Lutheran Church by designating their choice dollars to our ministry. Eligible members are designated Choice Dollars, based on insurance premiums, contract values and Thrivent Financial volunteer leadership. Choice Dollars can be directed to thousands of nonprofit organizations nationwide, including Sheridan Lutheran.

A few fun facts:

• Over ½ of Thrivent members fail to designate their Choice Dollars
• Choice dollars range from $25 to $2,500 for eligible members
• Thrivent representatives have noted that nearly $75,000 of the local Thrivent Choice dollars in the remaining 2021 fiscal year are undesignated
• You may have Choice Dollars that you haven’t distributed yet!
• You can easily designate your Choice dollars to Sheridan by following the simple instructions below. It’s the easiest way you can make a huge difference in our ministry!

The Thrivent Choice Dollars designated to Sheridan are dispersed through a committee to the various needs of the church. You can view the most recent year’s Thrivent Choice Dollars on the chart below.
