Since 2014, clients of ICMIF member Thrivent have raised more than USD 1.9 billion in funds for local communities across the USA. Through Thrivent Action Teams, an industry-leading volunteer programme, Thrivent’s clients are given the funding, tools, and resources they need to advance the causes most important to them and their communities. Over the past 10 years, Thrivent clients have led more than 1.2 million Thrivent Action Teams, engaging more than 16 million volunteers.
This summer, Thrivent recognised 10 projects by donating an extra USD 10,000 to a select group of Thrivent Action Team non-profits during the 10th anniversary of the program. From creating care packages for women on bedrest to donating thousands of school supplies to children in need and so much more, Thrivent clients around the country continue to make an impact.
“The difference our clients have made across the country since we started Thrivent Action Teams is awe inspiring,” said Carolyn Sakstrup, Chief Growth and Generosity Officer at Thrivent. “For more than a decade, our clients have brought together friends and families to use their time, talents and resources to make a meaningful difference in their communities. It personifies Thrivent’s purpose of empowering lives of service and faith.”
To help celebrate 10 years of giving back, Thrivent surprised 10 clients across the country – from Minneapolis to Memphis and West Palm Beach to New Orleans, and more, by donating USD 10,000 to causes they have supported with Thrivent Action Teams.

Continuing a tradition started in 2016, the general public votes on each year’s design and the next voting period opens today. To date, more than 14 million T-shirts have been distributed to volunteers who proudly wear them during their everyday life, serving as a visible representation of their commitment to giving back.
