About Matthew Budde

A Culinary Advocate for Generosity and Community Engagement


Matt is a passionate champion for non-profits, dedicated to enhancing community engagement and providing essential resources to help organizations thrive. With a heart for service, Matt believes in the power of generosity and strives to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those around him.


Before stepping into his role at Thrivent, Matt served as a chef in the Navy for 20 years, where he had the honor of preparing meals for foreign dignitaries and working at the White House under Presidents Bush and Obama. This unique experience not only honed his culinary skills but also instilled in him a deep appreciation for the connections that food can create.

Now, Matt combines his love for food with his commitment to financial literacy and community service.

He actively seeks innovative ways to link culinary arts with financial resources, empowering non-profits to better serve their communities and fulfill their missions.


In his free time, you can find Matt experimenting with new recipes, volunteering at local food drives, or engaging in discussions about the importance of giving back. His journey reflects a life dedicated to living generously, and he invites others to join him in creating a ripple effect of kindness and support with Loaves and Fish. Matthew 14:13-21 NIV Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
