The Benefits of Thrivent for Supporting Non-Profits Like GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau

Sue Kirby and her husband, Kevin, have long been aware of the benefits of being Thrivent members. However, it wasn’t until this past year that they truly tapped into these benefits by leading a Thrivent Action Team. This initiative allowed them to apply for a grant to support the incredible work being done at GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau.

Thrivent Action Teams provide seed money that can help with a variety of needs. Sue utilized one of her grants to purchase items for last year’s Harvest Dinner silent auction, a crucial event for GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau. This support not only helped the auction succeed but also contributed to the overall mission of GiGi’s Playhouse, which offers transformative programs and services for individuals with Down syndrome.

In addition to Thrivent Action Teams, Thrivent members can allocate Choice Dollars to non-profit organizations. GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau is listed as one of the agencies eligible to receive these Choice Dollars. This means that Thrivent members can directly support GiGi’s Playhouse by designating their Choice Dollars to this worthy cause.

Sue and Kevin are passionate about spreading the word about these benefits. They encourage fellow Thrivent members to join them in supporting GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau. Whether through allocating Choice Dollars or leading a Thrivent Action Team, every contribution makes a significant impact.

Sue shares, “Please do not wait until retirement like I did to tap into these wonderful benefits. Every dollar makes a difference, and it’s so easy to do. Please feel free to ask for help if you want further information.”

By leveraging the benefits of Thrivent membership, Sue and Kevin have made a tangible difference in their community. Their story is a testament to the power of collective action and the positive impact that Thrivent members can have on non-profit organizations like GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau.

Join Sue and Kevin in their quest to “get the word out” and support GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau. If you are a member of the Thrivent family, you too can make a difference. Allocate your Choice Dollars or lead a Thrivent Action Team to help further the work that GiGi’s Playhouse is offering in programs and services. Together, we can create a brighter future for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

For more information on how to get involved, please reach out. Every contribution counts, and with your support, GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau can continue to provide life-changing programs and services to those who need them most.
