Subject: Thrivent matching forms due on Monday
Submitter: Betsey Norgard, Director of Publications, Public Relations and Communication

Message: All faculty and staff gifts to Augsburg's Access to Excellence campaign qualify for a 50% match from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (formerly Lutheran Brotherhood). If you or a family member has a Thrivent policy or receives benefits, you are already a member and need only to complete a matching gift form.

If you aren't already a member, all of us who work at Augsburg, a Lutheran institution, qualify for associate membership for only $10.

By completing the easy application, your $10 Thrivent membership will trigger the extra 50% to your campaign contribution.

AND, remember that your contribution also increases Augsburg's giving rate and helps us qualify for part of the national Thrivent fund for colleges that significantly strengthen their giving programs.

The catch? you must submit all Thrivent forms (both Giving Plus matching forms and membership forms) to Augsburg's Development Office by Monday, Nov. 7--this coming Monday--to meet Thrivent's deadline. Everyone must submit a Giving Plus matching form to receive the match. For those who are not already Thrivent members, you must apply for membership at the same time.

You can download the Giving Plus PDF file at giving_plus.pdf and the application for associate membership at Associate Member Application.pdf . Send your pledge form and these forms to the Development Office, CB 142. If you have questions, contact Kay Ahlstrom at 612-338-4818 or ahlstrom@augsburg.edu.
