Financial services company adds $250,000 donation to the more than $725,000 raised alongside its clients to help disaster recovery across Texas’ Hill Country.

Austin, Texas (Aug. 28, 2025) – Thrivent, a financial services company putting generosity at the heart of saving and investing, continues to raise money alongside its clients and donate volunteer hours to the ongoing recovery effort in the flood-damaged areas in and around Kerr County, Texas after devastating rain and wind struck the area on July 4. To date, more than 100 Thrivent Action Teams have brought together volunteers from across the state to help clear debris, repaint buildings and refurnish homes and offices damaged in the flood.

Thrivent is also a sponsor for singer Robert Earl Keen’s ‘Applause for the Cause’ concert at the Whitewater Amphitheater in New Braunfels, Texas, where money raised will go to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country to help pay for relief efforts. 

Concertgoers have the unique opportunity to write messages of gratitude for first responders at the booth hosted by Thrivent in partnership with Texas Search and Rescue volunteers.

“Behind all the money collected and volunteer time on the ground, there is an immense sense of community and connection here,” said Thrivent Engagement Leader Amber Schraeder. “As the residents cried, we cried. As they prayed and hoped for recovery, we prayed and hoped with them. As the Hill Country recovers, we will be here to recover with them.”

In addition to the Texas Search and Rescue group, Thrivent helped support Convoy of Hope and the Austin Disaster Relief Network.
