Donations of real estate, farmland, religious art and cryptocurrency are accepted and managed directly or through third-party custodians such as Engiven.

Thrivent Charitable functions as a national donor-advised fund sponsor rather than a traditional single-family office. Its mandate requires separation between donor-directed grants and the investment activities of its parent fraternal benefit society, creating a distinct governance structure for faith-aligned philanthropy.
