Thrivent Choice
You may be aware that Thrivent has now ended its GivingPlus matching gift program. In its place, Thrivent is launching a new Thrivent Choice Dollars program in which Thrivent will designate Choice Dollars for eligible Thrivent Financial members monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on the financial products they own. Eligible Thrivent members will need to go on-line or call the Thrivent Financial service center to direct their Choice Dollars to the institution of their choice. We ask you to choose AGORA for your Thrivent Choice investment! Your Choice Dollars will have a significant impact on Agora's strength and mission, and will ensure that the Agora outreach that you know will be nurtured and grow.
Please note that gifts by Thrivent employees/retirees/board members may still be matched through the company's Thrivent Gift (employee) Multiplier program.
Agora greatly values your philanthropy and the matching gifts your Thrivent membership has provided over the years. We join you in welcoming this new fraternal benefit program and look forward to continuing Agora’s
partnership with Thrivent Financial in the years ahead. For more information about Thrivent Choice Dollars, go to https://www.thrivent.com/thriventchoice/

Gifts can be given monthly, quarterly, or annually. Thrivent Financial for Lutherans through its GivingPlus® Member program matches our donations. If you are a Thrivent member, please indicate this when you send in your gift.
Partnering with Agora
Congregations can partner with Agora through one of the following ways:
Display
If you would like your congregation to learn more about Agora’s ministries, we have a display board we can provide with several brochures and newsletters to accompany it. An Agora volunteer can be there to tell you more about the ministry of Agora.
Prayer
One of the greatest ways to support Agora is through prayer. Remember Agora in the Prayers of the Day that its ministry will touch many people within your congregation, in the community in which you minister, and throughout the world.
Host an immigrant community
Immigrant worshiping community leaders frequently contact Agora looking for places to worship. Your congregation can support us by hosting an immigrant community.
