Create a fund

Amplify your generosity

Congratulations

Your generosity plays an important role in positive, lasting change in our communities. We are deeply grateful you chose us to be your giving partner as you spread the joy of generosity—your way.

Below are your charitable fund options. Please select which option you prefer to begin the process of opening your fund.

Please note:
For new funds established between March 1 and March 31 contributions will initially be invested in the Money Market Fund. Starting April 1 assets will be invested in your selection from eight new options—depending on fund type—listed in the forms.

Once your fund is established, you can start to make gifts and grants during the transition to our new investment options.

To learn more please join us for a webinar to explore your new investment options. Register here.

If you have questions about establishing your fund, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at thriventcharitable@thrivent.com or 800-365-4172.
