In 2005, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans® and Habitat for Humanity® International (HFHI) joined together to create the “Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity” alliance, a four-year, $125 million alliance designed to help address the complex issue of poverty housing. The relationship is helping Habitat for Humanity to increase its annual house production by hundreds of homes per year in the United States and around the world.

As a not-for-profit organization, part of the mission of Thrivent Financial is to help individuals and families achieve financial security. A home is often a family’s biggest asset, making it an important part of achieving economic independence. Habitat for Humanity seeks to create affordable housing in partnership with those who otherwise could not purchase a home of their own. In building simple, decent, affordable homes with families in need, the Thrivent Builds with Habitat alliance reflects the missions and values of both organizations. Several programs fall under the umbrella of the alliance
