Having a clear and succinct mission statement can ensure your organization’s leadership set mission-driven goals, your employees’ work stays on track, and it can connect you with funders, collaborators, partners, and volunteers with whom your mission statement resonates. Truth be told, this is how Foundation for Shared Impact (FSI) found our board of directors!
A common practice to write out your organization’s mission statement is to make it a team exercise. Discuss your organizational values, the direction of your work and high-level goals. Your mission statement should be specific, concise, and unique.
By all means leverage the help of mission statement generators such as HoneyBook, which offers tips and mission statement samples for your reference.
