One of the most important building blocks of a nonprofit organization is its mission statement. The mission statement is what inspires motivation, aligns your team, and outlines your organization’s purpose.

Your mission statement focuses on how you’ll achieve your goal while your vision statement focuses on the future and why your organization will achieve this goal.

When creating your mission and vision statement it’s important to take stakeholders into consideration and picture what your best work in serving them would look like. Then, look for input from your team and other stakeholders to better understand how it will mold your nonprofit’s culture.

Finally, implement your mission statement as something everyone on your team can refer to when making decisions, going through changes, or aligning your organization.
