Multiple recipients

Thrivent Financial's online system allows you to enter up to 10 different recipients for a Care Abounds in Communities® or Care in Regions® program activity. At times, you may have more than 10 recipients or the recipient names and addresses may not be known at the time of the request (e.g preparing food baskets).

Here are examples of when and how to enter the multiple recipient information in these situations:

• A community service team requests $500 of Care Abounds in Communities® program funds to assemble food baskets for many individuals who have been identified as recipients.
  1. From the Activity Recipient Details screen, select Sponsored Group of Individuals as the Recipient Type.
  2. In the Description of Recipient Group field, type the number of food baskets or number of individuals who will be recipients.
  3. In the Sponsor Organization field, type the name of the qualified not-for-profit organization that identified the individuals.

  The chapter leadership board files the names and addresses of the recipients in its chapter files.

• The chapter leadership board approves an activity that benefits multiple youth attending a convention:
  1. From the Activity Recipient Details screen, select Sponsored Group of Individuals as the Recipient Type.
  2. In the Description of Recipient Group field, type the number of youth attending convention. Note: Never list the church as the recipient.
  3. In the Sponsor Organization field, type the name of the qualified not-for-profit organization that identified the individuals (this may be a congregation).
  4. In the Address field, type the address of the sponsor organization.

  The chapter leadership board files the names and addresses of the recipients in its chapter files.

The above steps also can be used in these situations:

• For dinners that benefit needy individuals, and other situations where the individual recipient names may not be known at the time of the request, but can be gathered and kept with the chapter's files.
• When the number of recipients being assisted is more than the maximum of 10 recipients that the online system allows.

Foreign addresses
In situations where the address of a recipient of a Care Abounds in Communities® program activity is not in the United States:

1. Select the appropriate Recipient Type.
2. Enter the recipient name or description of group.
3. In the Address field, type "In care of" an individual or organization in the United States closely associated with the recipient that could verify receipt of funds, followed by that individual or organization's address.

The chapter leadership board files the names and addresses of the recipients in its chapter files.
