Educate. Inform. Support.

Beginning in 2022, your Thrivent Member Network regional board adopted a mental health and wellness focus. We see a great need for education, information and support in our communities and have partnered with several great organizations throughout South Dakota that provide extensive resources for mental health and wellness.  We would like to help provide those resources to you through this page. 

Thrivent Clients with membership can also use their Thrivent Action Team to support these organizations, or others they are passionate about, through fundraising, service activities or educational events.

Through Thrivent Choice®, our clients with membership can contribute to organizations and causes they care about—and influence how Thrivent distributes some of its charitable grant funding through Choice Dollars®. Anyone can make a personal donation to your favorite enrolled organization—Thrivent pays the processing fees.
