Thrivent Action Teams

How often am I eligible?

All Thrivent members are eligible to lead a Thrivent Action Team. However, the number of teams each member can lead per year depends on his or her membership type. Benefit members are eligible to lead two Thrivent Action Teams per calendar year, and associate members are eligible to lead one per calendar year (maximum of three).

Things to keep in mind

Involve others

Bring together a volunteer team of friends, family and people in your community to have a bigger impact. It's not a gift or a grant. It's seed money, and it's an investment to help get your project started or gain awareness for your cause, rather than directly giving the money to (granting) or purchasing items for (gifting) your cause.

One action team, one project

Multiple members cannot apply to receive a Thrivent Action Kit to be used toward the exact same project.

Report your success

Share your stories, photos and volunteer team info with us after your event – this must be completed before applying to lead your next Thrivent Action Team.
