Crafting a Powerful Mission Statement

A Practical + Purposeful Class for Nonprofit Leaders, Changemakers, and Visionaries

Is your mission statement clear, compelling, and current?

Your mission statement is more than a sentence. It’s a declaration of your organization’s heart and soul. It tells the world who you are, what you do, who you serve, and the change you’re working to create. But too often, mission statements are vague, outdated, or disconnected from daily work.

Let’s change that.

In this engaging and hands-on class, you’ll learn:

• What a mission statement really is (and what it’s not)
• When and why you should update your mission statement
• Easy-to-use formulas for writing or revising your statement
• How to clearly communicate your purpose, impact, and values
• Where and how to use your mission statement effectively

You’ll leave with a draft mission statement—or a strong revision—that feels aligned, authentic, and actionable.

A strong mission statement attracts the right funders, partners, volunteers, and team members. It serves as your internal compass and your external voice. Whether you're launching a new initiative or breathing new life into a legacy organization, your mission statement is a powerful tool for alignment and inspiration.
