What if the service team can't get its fair share of funds to deposit?
Every attempt should be made to obtain the service team's fair share of the funds raised for deposit into the chapter's checking account. If the service team cannot get its fair share:

• The service team should attempt to obtain and deposit an amount at least equal to the amount being supplemented by Thrivent Financial.



• In addition, the service team must ask the cohosting organization to provide a letter titled "Acknowledgement of Funds Raised by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Chapter" that includes:
  • Name of the recipient.
  • Date of the activity.
  • Description of the activity (e.g., bake sale, carnival, silent auction, etc.).
  • Verification of the service team's fair share of funds raised. (This should be the amount the chapter reports online in Chapter Leadership Administration.)
  • Verification of where the service team's remaining fair share of funds were deposited (those funds not deposited into the chapter's account).
  • Signature of an officer/leader of the co-hosting organization.

  This letter verifies the amount raised by the service team and should be kept and retained with the other financial records for the activity.




• In rare cases, there may be times when a service team is unable to obtain any portion of the funds raised for deposit into the chapter's checking account. In these cases, the team should ask for an "Acknowledgement of Funds Raised by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Chapter" letter as described above.
