Raise Funds
for a worthy cause
Together, we can build and strengthen communities both here and in India while raising funds for a worthy cause. These are some fun-raising ideas to share.
Getting started
Thrivent Choice Dollars
See if anyone on your team is a Thrivent member. Members can apply for fundraising grants up to $250 per member that will offset the expenses to host a fundraiser for India Transformed!. Visit Thrivent.com/thriventchoice or call 800-847-4837 and when prompted, say “Thrivent Choice.”

Host a
Child Sponsorship Event
Invite your friends and family over for a social event to raise funds for a worthy cause. We have materials like videos, presentations and child profiles to help aid you with your event. If you would like us to co-host this with you, we can Zoom in live or attend your event.

FaceBook and Instagram
Personal fundraisers for birthdays and special events are a great way to encourage your friends to support the causes that are dear to you. This is an easy way to mobilize your friends that can rally together to make an impact by supporting children or an ARISE! woman.

Pie-a-thon
For 21 years, a group in Denver has gathered its community each fall to bake thousands of pies that have raised more than $150,000 to support two ARISE! classes each year. They have it down if you would like to learn how to do this.

Corporate Matches
A young donor approached the HR Director at her company to set up a matching gift program to benefit India Transformed!. She was able to sponsor three women, two children and helped contribute towards the College Build Fund with her employer's year end match.

Host a Birthday Party
A private school in Columbus, IN raised $3,000 to make sure every child receives a birthday gift. Every year India Transformed! needs to raise $15,000 so that every child will get a birthday gift and celebration in their honor.

Taste of India
A group in Omaha, NE hosted a Virtual Vision Trip to India and used Thrivent Dollars to cater an Indian themed dinner to make this a community wide event for 123 members. They sponsored seven children, two women and two community leaders.

Walk to India
Another school in Moline, IL collectively walked more than 8,600 miles to raise awareness that generated over $3,200 for our programs. We can share the details with how your group can do this.

Book Drive
A children's book writer and editor challenged their clients to raise funds with a matching gift so that each of our 10 Child Development Centers would have a library. Now these children can develop a life-long passion for reading. Collectively they raised over $4,800.
Host a Concert
For his birthday, a donor in Fort Collins, CO hosted a special concert to benefit India Transformed! that generated awareness while raising $4,850 to expand our outreach.
