Give more, together
Rooted in generosity, Giving Tuesday is a one-day event where we come together in support of communities and causes. Each contribution—big or small—is an act of generosity that helps bring about meaningful change. No matter how you participate in Giving Tuesday, there’s a way to support our local organizations.

Join us in supporting the Special Olympics Wisconsin on Tuesday, December 2. For every $2 donated on Thrivent’s online giving platform and at in-person events, Thrivent will match $1 up to a total of $20,000 per Thrivent Member Network.* Thrivent will take care of all processing fees so your gift goes even further.
