Very broad. Definitely, attract competition
Our mission statement is to ensure access to quality health services for all.
It is bit confusing mission; to eradicate poverty by providing food parcels is not enough. May be you can rethink about your mission statement. This mission might attract the donor who works to eradicate poverty but they have to face high compitition.
Mission Statement: Ensuring access to the quality health services among hard to reach communities.
It looks nice and specific but I thought less convincing by statement "whom we are in contact". I think it attract less donor but they will face more compitition because many organizations are working in this sector.
I think this mission statement is likely to attract many donors as the mission is broad. As the mission is broad, it is likely to face a great deal of funding competition.
This mission statement is likely to attract few donors as it targets the particular population. But, I think it is likely to face great deal of funding competition because there are many organizations working on this sector.
To give food support to poor families especially widows and children
To empower younger widows to set up small scale business so as to be self sufficient
Yes it will attract many donors because funders take interest in health causes it is a global issue . but it will will face competiton because so many organization are out there running health for all initiatives.
There was no target audience in the mission statement it broad.
This mission will attract many donors because education i s an interest area for development of a community.
Not likely to face competion because target audience in the education sector was specified terticiary and the specific change inequality
We support initiatives that foster holistic empathy for humans, animals and the environment.
Re: Mission Statement: To impact lives in Oyugis, Kenya with education opportunities and access to urgent medical care.
Great mission. It is very clear, concise and specific. While it may be likely not to attract too many donors, there is likely not to be too much competition, which is positive. I would suggest using the word "improve" vs. "impact".
Re: Mission Statement: Ensuring access to the quality health services among hard to reach communities.
The mission is broad and ambitious. It is likely to attract donors, but also competition. I would suggest being more specific such as stating a geographic area and replace "hard to reach" with "isolated" or "at risk".
Our mission is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for disadvantaged children.
The mission statement is a little agresive when you say - eliminate ignorance. Always reach out from a positive approach
Mission Statement:
By installing hydroponic gardens at homes, we benefit families in vulnerable situations on a social, health, environment and economic level across urban areas in Mexico.
Where??? it's important to add a location
To promote eye health among vulnerable groups
compelling,short and specific!!
concise !!
we are yet to find a mission but I'm grateful for the ideas impeached from all of your missions!!!
discussing is the key of the sucess
Every successful salesperson in the world will tell you that if you do not ask for a sale, you will not get it. In your video be sure to ask for a donation and for help spreading the crowdfunding project to the viewer’s friends and social-media network. "The ask" should be clear, carefully worded and create a sense of urgency and action. Tell people specifically what to do and don't leave it up to them to figure it out on their own. But make sure it is sincere, as this authentic message can turn a viewer into a donor and marketing machine.
Empower at-risk youth through holistic services and supportive life skills training.
Houyee: "Our mission is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for disadvantaged children."
This is clear and short and readable. I do think you may want to change some of the words as "provide" "disadvantaged" and "children" are all pretty common words for charities. I do think your mission statement is easy to understand and from it I gather that maybe you run a shelter to other housing program for kids. If so, great job!
Kristen C: "We support initiatives that foster holistic empathy for humans, animals and the environment."
This is a short readable mission statement but not super clear.  It sounds to me like you provide funding or education or volunteers and I want to know more (which definitely catches my interest which is the point of a mission statement, so good job on that.) If you want to attract more donors and have a clearer, more specific message, you might want to focus on the support you give as opposed to the kinds of organizations you support.  That might give people a better understanding of exactly what you do, and then when they look into it more they will see what organizations you support. I'm also unclear about the organizations your support because it says they "foster holistic empathy" and while those are great and not commonly used words, I don't really know what you're trying to say. So all around focusing on the support you give as opposed to the organizations might be better given the brevity or length you're going for in your mission statement. Besides having a lot of competition though, I do believe this mission statement (once clarified,) and your organization in general will also attract a lot of donors as there are many people who want to support smaller organizations and grass roots efforts but do not have the time to volunteer or get involved. Great job!
Promote education to give more chances to people in the community.
We will acknowledge God's caring hand in our lives and stretch out our hands to all people to lead them to know and touch the Living Christ.
This is a great idea and makes it really easy for people to donate.
Well not a bad idea but I think that this will not attract as much donors because it is a popular idea. What makes it different and outstanding for a donor to fund it. The uniqueness of it has to come out so that donors will be moved at its mention.
Our mission statement is to create a community of elderly people and give them an opportunity to live fulfilled lives. We will do this by delivering services personalized to individual needs and integrated with local communities. Our values are well being promotion, excellence, respect to people and safety to all the elderly people.
This is a good mission statement and I think it will be funded by a number of donors.
To advance the gospel of Jesus and his kingdom into the nations through spiritual generations of laborers living and discipling among the lost
It's a great one

Improve the collaboration between leaders, professionals and companies with sustainable development by increasing conscious and responsible business behavior
Improve the link and collaboration between leaders, professionals and companies with sustainable development by increasing conscious and responsible business behavior
The mission statement of YKIP is :
improving the lives of marginalized communities in Bali by breaking the cycle of poverty through comprehensive educational opportunities.
I think this mission of statement is vague. If you could put a specific subject of your program and in which field you are working in empowering the indigenous people will attract more people to support you
It is simple and quite unique, but I think it left a confusion in the reader's mind. What will happent to the people, potential, and coffee? What is the connection and how this three word make a better thing to the any of them. I think if you could make it elaborate by explaining more activities or goals, it would be nice.
To serve less privileged community such as children with special needs & those in need of care & protection with the aim to make them achieve rightful place in their settings with the active participation of all stake holders.
Need to be bit more specific. Like safe in terms of buliding understanding among people for the disadvanted people or creating opportunities for the disadvantaged people.
Our mission is to promote girl child education in rural African
Our Mission is to support young women at university to initiate positive change in their community for gender equity.
Interesting Shariff we share a quite similar mission
This mission is broad and likely to face competition for funding. Because many organizations are into poverty eradication.
Building the next generation of technology innovators in Africa
Is clear that you want to promote education but with which target group. What kind of education are you refering to this is not clear
What are spiritial generations that is not language that is clear to all and how do you want to advance the gospel. Its not clear
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
Are you helping only women that attend a university? If you are helping others than you could remove "at university" and it would be more concise.
Mission Statement is uneasy to be written in because sometimes we tend to include too much in such a short statement. The 8-word format is quite helpful.
To be a centre of execellence in the prevention and management of Gender Based Violence in Africa
To be a centre of execellence in the prevention and management of Gender Based Violence in Africa
This is a very clear mission and has room for expansion and changes as time goes by
This is brilliant.
I think you are likely to attract more donors because many people are concerned about providing fresh clean water in all households worldwide to avoid diseases associated with lack of clean water.
There might be great competition because the health of people matters and everyone is concerned about safety so yes there is bound to be competition
This will attract more donors because in this changing world people are set to change the old way of thinking and elevating and empowering women the children youth and more vulnerable populations.
There is bound to more competition because liberation and empowerment of these group of people have been on the peak
empowering vulnerable and orphaned children to be the best version of themselves
Here's the mission statement for my organization - " Empowering communities to support children overcome barriers to education."
The first part is fine. However, you might need to rework on the second part on 'elimination of ignorance'...
The needs to be refined, quite lengthy and hence confusing to the reader
This is quite clear. It will most likely attract a huge donor based owing to combination of both speciality store approach and supermarket approach. This will face a huge competition for funding considering that this is a regional organization hence they will have huge staff costs and huge infrastructure to pay for
Our mission is to provide free therapy to adults age 18-35 who grew up in a home with alcoholic or drug addicted parents.

Likely large donor base, but also lots of competition (especially given that it is a large region instead of a slightly smaller/local initiative)
Very broad statement that is unclear about the scope (geographic or otherwise) of organization. Might have a lot of competition while simultaneously not sure if a lot of interested funders because they might want a better idea of what they are funding
Our mission is to help people in need so as to transfer their life quality from emergency to stabilization. Act today, achieve tomorrow.
yeah thats nice
Well Done
I think this will get lots of interest, but you'll also have lots of competition as this seems to be a popular mission (and for very good reason!). Perhaps your values will help you further differentiate and garner additional donations.

I think this is a complex and confusing mission statement
To spark the brains of African children through the provision of education, training and the needed guidance, resources and the opportunities that will change the continent of Africa and the rest of the world.
I think this statement is good, but its not attractive enough to get many donor attention.
This good, broad, but might be in a range of high competition with many other nonprofits.
