Well-Being Development Report (WDR)
To receive a matching grant, the Thrive Team must submit a Well-Being Development Report (WDR). The report must be a collaboration between members of the Thrive Team.
The report will ask for specific details about the investments made, the learning journeys completed, and the impact of the process. The WDR is due 30 days prior to your District Conference. Note: The WDR form will ask you to affirm that the Thrive Team collaborated to produce the final report.
Once you have demonstrated full and complete participation in the Thrive Financial Initiative Year 1, 2 or 3 program, you will be awarded the Thrive Matching grant at your District Conference.
