Allina’s Dollars for Doers
An ASA parent who works for Allina Health has chosen All Saints Academy as the recipient for her Dollars for Doers reward. This program exemplifies Allina's ongoing commitment to support the communities they serve. Through volunteering at school, this parent has donated $300. If your employer has a program similar as Dollars for Doers, consider donating those funds to ASA.
Thrivent Choice Dollars
Another ASA Parent is a Thrivent member. Thrivent has a program where members can donate choice dollars to an organization of their choice as well as a grant program where members can use $250 to build an action team. Action teams can consist of students, parents and community members who develop a project to help make the world a better place. This is how our students were able to raise funds for Tanzanian children last year at our spring picnic. If you are a member of Thrivent, please consider these options in your giving.
