Simply Giving is an automated giving program designed to help you conveniently and consistently contribute to a Lutheran congregation or institution. Through Simply Giving, your gifts are made through a pre-authorized withdrawal from your bank account or credit card. You determine the frequency of your automatic gift - weekly, semi-monthly or monthly - the option is yours. Your gift is deposited into the recipient's bank account on the same day it is withdrawn from your account - at no cost to you or the recipient. Simply Giving is a reliable, safe way to move your stewardship plan into action.
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans offers Simply Giving to further its mission of serving Lutheran congregations and institutions.
Simply Giving benefits:
- It helps you ensure 'first fruits' are dedicated to God's work.
- It allows you to share gifts through planned giving and activates your generosity into ongoing stewardship.
- It's an easy way to make sure you stay current with your pledge.
- Because your gift is given consistently, you won't need to play 'catch-up' at year-end or worry about forgotten checkbooks or missed Sunday offerings.
- It saves time - you don't have to write (or pay for) personal checks.
- Your gifts towards God's work continue, even in your absence.
- The church benefits from steady cash flow to apply toward ministry expenses, more efficient bookkeeping and lower bank fees.
