Thrivent Action Teams is a membership benefit designed to help you bring people together to serve a cause you care about through a short-term volunteer project. 

Thrivent Action Teams are client-led teams that come together as needed to conduct a hands-on service activity, a fundraiser, or an educational event (social gatherings without a service/fundraiser/education component are not eligible). 

Once your project is approved, you’ll receive a Thrivent Action Team kit of resources plus a Community Impact Card loaded with up to $250 in seed money to help kick-start your project. This seed money is intended to get the project started—not to cover all costs—and any unused funds can be re-allocated to help fund other Action Teams.

How it works (simple steps):

1) Start with an idea: Who—or what—do you want to help?

2) Apply for your project online at thrivent.com/actionteam.

3) Lead your team: Gather friends, family, and community members to volunteer with you and bring your project to life.

4) Use the Community Impact Card appropriately to support your project (per program guidelines).

5) Share your story: After your project, share photos and results to inspire others through the Thrivent Action Teams Hub.

Program guidelines (high level):

• Involve other volunteers: It’s about gathering a team to act on the cause you care about.

• One team, one project: Action Teams are meant to kickstart a generosity project and shouldn’t be combined with other clients’ projects to fund a single large project.

• Impact your community: Projects should not be self-benefiting for you or your immediate family and should not benefit an individual in your household.

Examples of projects that may qualify include: preparing and serving a meal for individuals in need, holding a fundraiser for a local food pantry, collecting items (coats/gloves) to distribute through a nonprofit, hosting an educational event, or organizing a service activity.
