Thrivent
Financial for Lutherans announces $10.4 million
commitment to build Habitat for Humanity homes
in 33 states across the country
Thrivent Financial and Habitat for Humanity are
again joining forces to build more homes for
families in need. Locally, Lakes Area Habitat
for Humanity has been awarded 55 percent of the
funds necessary, to build one home in Brainerd
homes in 2011. The remainder of the funds will
be raised by LAHFH and area Lutheran
Congregations.
Nationally, Thrivent Financial announced a
commitment of $10.4 million to Thrivent Builds
with Habitat for Humanity and its homebuilding
program, continuing its support of Habitat’s
mission for a sixth year. This funding will make
the construction of 164 additional homes in 33
states possible.
In 2011, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans,
through its unique partnership with Habitat for
Humanity International called Thrivent Builds
with Habitat for Humanity, will surpass more
than $150 million in its total commitment over
six years to create affordable housing. Lakes
Area Habitat for Humanity built 11 homes as part
of that effort.
Since its inception in 2005, Thrivent Builds
with Habitat for Humanity has helped more than
2,500 families in the U.S. and around the world
achieve the dream of homeownership. Thrivent
Financial for Lutherans continues to be one of
the largest non-government supporters of Habitat
for Humanity International.
