Matching gifts are a crucial part of the LDA’s budget. We want to help you maximize your match with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans GivingPlus program. Remember to check with your human resources department to see if your employer provides a matching gift program.

If you own a Thrivent Financial product, Thrivent Financial will contribute 50 cents for every dollar of your gift to the LDA ranging between $50 to $600. Plus, members who volunteer at least 25 hours annually to the LDA earn another $25 match. It is important to remember that Thrivent Financial will only match two different organizations annually. Call, e-mail or write us if you need a gift form, want to learn ways to volunteer or if you would like more information. Click here to download a Thrivent form.


Giving to the Lutheran Deaconess Association through the Simply Giving Program provides sustainable support of the LDA’s long-term commitment to serving the diaconal needs of the church body. Consistent monthly gifts help cut postage, paper, administrative and overhead costs.

Contributions are deducted monthly from your checking or savings account or charged to your credit card. To become a partner in the LDA Simply Giving Program, or for more information, please contact Christi Thieme, Director of Development and Public Relations.
