2021 Voices in Philanthropy and VIP-Hall of Honor recipients announced

Thrivent Charitable Impact & Investing® (Thrivent Charitable), is pleased to announce its 2021 Voices in Philanthropy (VIP) and its newest inductees to the VIP-Hall of Honor.

This honor is given annually to top Thrivent financial advisors who met a set of minimum requirements* resulting in the highest value in clients’ charitable gifts in each Advisor Group in 2021.

This honor is awarded to Thrivent financial advisors who have brought more than $5 million in charitable gifts to our local, national, and global communities through Thrivent Charitable during their careers. This year’s inductees are Jean B. Greening, Mark R. Grill, Bridgit Holly, Robert G. Meaux, and Brian Van Hevel.

Since 1995, over $1 billion in gifts to benefit thousands of charities have come to Thrivent Charitable. The majority of these gifts are the result of the efforts of Thrivent financial advisors working with their clients. In special recognition of the financial advisors who have devoted extra effort in making this a part of their work, Thrivent Charitable has committed to its Financial Advisors Recognition Program, first introduced in 2008-2009.

We believe humanity thrives when people make the most of all they’ve been given. Thrivent Charitable Impact & Investing helps people do just that—bring their generosity to life so that they can support the organizations and causes closest to their hearts, now and into the future. Grounded in our purpose to serve, we take a holistic, personalized approach to help our donors create strategic charitable plans and give in a way that best reflects their values and financial priorities. Together, we are committed to creating positive impact and inspiring lasting change in our communities.

*Thrivent Charitable Voices in Philanthropy (VIP) recognizes the top ten financial advisors from each Advisor Group who facilitate at least $100,000 in current or deferred gifts to Thrivent Charitable during a calendar year.
