The Simply Giving® Program
Simply Giving is an automated giving program designed to help you conveniently and consistently contribute to a Lutheran congregation or institution or to pay tuition at a Lutheran school, in this case LRCC! Through Simply Giving, your gifts or tuition payments are made through a pre-authorized withdrawal from your bank account. You determine the frequency of your automatic gift—weekly, semi-monthly or monthly—the option is yours. Your gift or payment is deposited into the recipient's bank account on the same day it is withdrawn from your account—at no cost to you or the recipient. Also, you do not have to be a member of Thrivent to use the Simply Giving program.
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans offers Simply Giving to further its mission of serving Lutheran congregations and institutions.
Because of your planned giving and ongoing stewardship, camp benefits from steady, more predictable revenues throughout the year. This helps LRCC to better meet its financial goals and development objectives. To have an application sent to you, call (818) 243-8700 or email Desta@lrcchome.com.
The GivingPlus® Program
The GivingPlus® Program ended on December 31,2009 and will not be continued. A new giving program, Thrivent Choice, was introduced in the spring of 2010. See below for details.

Through Thrivent ChoiceSM, a new charitable grant program, members can help choose where Thrivent Financial distributes some of its charitable funds each year.
The program has two components: Voting Events and Choice Dollars.
Through Voting Events, all members age 16 and older can vote to help choose where Thrivent Financial distributes funds among a short list of national organizations. Voting Events occur one or two times each year.
Eligible benefit members also are designated Choice Dollars. By directing Choice Dollars, they can request funding for thousands of Lutheran organizations nationwide, including LRCC: El Camino Pines and Yolijwa. Potential designated Choice Dollars amounts that can be directed range from $25 to $500 for each eligible member.
