Generosity takes many forms. Sometimes it looks like volunteering time, mentoring leaders, or giving financially to causes that matter. For members of Thrivent, there is another powerful way to support meaningful work: Thrivent Choice.
Empowering Change is an eligible nonprofit organization within the Thrivent Choice® charitable grant program, allowing Thrivent members to direct their Choice Dollars® to support our mission of strengthening nonprofit leaders and organizations around the world.
Through this program, Thrivent members can recommend where a portion of Thrivent’s charitable funds go — empowering them to support organizations they believe are making a meaningful difference.
For those who want their success to contribute to lasting transformation in communities around the world, Thrivent Choice provides a simple and impactful way to do exactly that.
What Is Thrivent Choice®?
Thrivent Choice is a member-directed charitable grant program offered by Thrivent.
Eligible Thrivent members receive Choice Dollars®, which they can recommend to nonprofit organizations they care about.
Rather than Thrivent deciding where all charitable funds go, members help direct the giving by recommending organizations aligned with their values and charitable priorities.
This approach empowers individuals to support causes they care about — from local community initiatives to global impact organizations like Empowering Change.
When Thrivent members direct their Choice Dollars to Empowering Change, those funds help strengthen social-impact leaders and organizations through the ChangeMaker Partnership™ Model.
Why Thrivent Members Support Empowering Change
Empowering Change focuses on strengthening social-impact organizations from the inside out — beginning with leadership development, clarity of vision, healthy teams, and simple systems that create sustainable impact.
Rather than only funding projects or programs, Empowering Change invests in building the leadership capacity of mission-driven organizations so they can serve more people and create long-term transformation.
For Thrivent members who want their giving to support lasting change rather than temporary solutions, this approach resonates deeply.
When you direct Thrivent Choice Dollars to Empowering Change, you help:
Equip social-impact leaders with practical leadership tools

Provide mentorship and strategic guidance for mission-driven leaders
Expand the reach of programs creating sustainable community impact
Your Choice Dollars help ensure organizations not only survive but grow stronger and multiply their impact over time.
How Thrivent Choice Supports the Work of Empowering Change
Empowering Change connects two groups of leaders who share a desire to create meaningful transformation.
Impact Partners
Impact Partners are visionary social-impact leaders working directly within communities — operating children’s homes, schools, and community initiatives in places where strong leadership can change the trajectory of entire generations.
ChangeMakers
ChangeMakers are high-capacity leaders who contribute their expertise, mentorship, and financial resources to strengthen these organizations.
Thrivent Choice helps fuel this partnership by providing additional support that allows Empowering Change to:
Mentor social-impact leadership teams
Install simple tools and rhythms that strengthen organizational health
Provide ongoing coaching and leadership development
Connect leaders to a growing network of peers and mentors
Through this approach, organizations move from survival mode to sustainable growth, allowing them to serve their communities more effectively.
Turning Generosity Into Lasting Transformation
Thrivent Choice is built on the belief that generosity becomes even more powerful when individuals can direct their support toward causes they truly believe in.
When Thrivent members support Empowering Change, they are investing in more than a single program or project.
They are investing in:
Leadership development
Organizational health
Sustainable community impact
A global network of ChangeMakers working toward lasting transformation
Together, these efforts help turn generosity into generational change.
