What is Simply Giving®?  The Simply Giving Program is a modern-day stewardship program. It's a convenient, safe and simple way for individuals to make automatic payments to non-profit organizations through electronic funds transfer (EFT) directly from checking or savings accounts.

What are the benefits of making contributions this way?  The Simply Giving® program is a reliable, safe way to move your stewardship plan into action. It allows you to share your gifts through planned giving and activates your generosity into ongoing stewardship. Because your gift is given consistently, you won’t need to play "catch-up" at year-end, or worry about forgotten checkbooks or missed Sunday offerings.  But you’re not the only one that benefits: your congregation benefits from steady, more predictable revenues throughout the year, more efficient bookkeeping, and greater confidence in meeting its financial commitments.

Whom do I call if I have more questions about Simply Giving®?  Thrivent Financial has contracted with Vanco Services, LLC to provide administrative services for the program. For questions about the overall operation of the Simply Giving® program, call Vanco Services at 800-675-7430.  Your Thrivent Financial representative also may be able to answer your questions.  Or, contact the Ellen Sturm from the Stewardship Committee.
