Matching Gifts

Some employers receive grant funding to match employee charitable giving. Employee gifts are typically met dollar-for-dollar, but in some cases, an employer will double or even triple a gift amount. Ask your employer if they provide funds for matching charitable gifts.

If your employer does not provide a matching gift option, you can make your gift through Thrivent Financial for Lutherans instead. Please note that Thrivent’s “Giving Plus” program has been replaced by “Thrivent Choice.” For more information about the “Thrivent Choice” matching gift program, please contact your Thrivent advisor or a member of Trinity’s Development Team today.

Tax Deductible Gifts

Trinity Lutheran Seminary is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization. All gifts are fully deductible to the extent allowed by your country of residence. Due to IRS regulations, gifts designated to cover the expenses of individual students are not tax deductible. Gifts designated for restricted scholarship funds are tax deductible as long as the criteria are not so limited that they would benefit only one specific individual.
