I think the "Educate girls from unwanted pregnancies" mission posted above is broad enough to attract the interest of many potential donors working on reproductive health for women and girls, while at the same time the organization that has it may face a great deal of competition from similar institutions promoting reproductive rights and reproductive health for girls and women.
The mission statement shown above: "Our goal is Digital Empowerment. Through technology we improve lives", seems to me vey broad and hence could attract many potential donors interested on digitalization and technology. However while being broad at the same time it lacks some specificity which could reduce a bit the quantity of interested donors. Competition for funds from other institutions might be huge due to the ample space that technology has.
Creating opportunities in the rural area for farmworkers
I appreciate the different words you use for your mission statement. It might help to get people away from boring when they read you.
We are committed to removing the barriers that prevent children from succeeding and from being open to the Gospel. Our programs provide for children’s basic needs, including food, clothing, water, and medical care.

Enhancing youths participation in climate change and environment protection in a collaborative and problem solving manner while striking balance between humans and nature.
It's likely to attract few donors cause there is competition a lot of foundations are involved in poverty reductions.

@ThaoTran said in Module 1 Discussion: Mission Statement:
Respond to this prompt after completing the content in Module 1.
Post your mission statement in the discussion forum. If your organization does not yet have a mission statement, use the readings from this week to draft one.
Comment on at least two other learners’ mission statements. Indicate (a) whether you think it is likely to attract few or many donors and why and (b) whether you think they are likely to face a great deal of funding competition and why.
all the comments are valid, I think that following each of the lessons has made it easier for me to project clear objectives and make a concise summary of what I want to achieve.
Our mission statement is:
"Rescue and re-home dogs while educating people to end pet overpopulation"
My mission statement is to actively involve African school children in other school curriculum such as be martial arts, Natural nutrition & health, financial literacy and every month a book on self development has to be read and an exam on it. This is an essential knowledge not available to every student or pupil in Africa.
The mission statement is attractive and the advocacy evaluation at the end of the day would be worth while. This will attract donors and it's a well targeted mission statement with less competition if more targeted to a certain locality or probably one you currently reside in. It's intriguing I must say and very personal. It resonates well with donors.
To nurture and develop the HK child in hope and fullness
To provide an inclusive platform to CSOs to promote inclusive policies and democratic governance for the wellbeing of children and youth
Very onpoint and precise to what it is all about. Likely to attract organizations based on consevacy.

KEDDO Mission Statement: We Pursue to Realize Developmentally Disabled Children’s Titled Inclusion through advocacy, direct services, and research.

Address malnutrition by strengthening local market systems

This will attract many donors as people are passionate about helping children especially those in need. However, there will be many competitors for your organization as there are many organizations that share this mission. Which is wonderful!
Good mission statement, it will attract many donors. You will have many competitors with this type of organization, as there are many organizations with a similar mission.
Connecting today's low-income consumers with the dignified choices of tomorrow
Great in the sense that it is eye-catching and make one stop in your tracks. But still, how do they then know what you do?

New City Kids Mission Statement:
Loving kids for change to create a community of spiritual, leadership, academic, and musical development.
Clear and to the point. Thank you.
Specific and to the point. Solid mission statement.
We are a youth and women empowerment organization with the main aim of collectively bringing women and youth collectively together for the communication and mitigation of global issues and finding applicable and sustainable solutions towards eradicating those issues.
A great mission broad based likely to attract alot of funders
Our mission statement is: Encouraging every child in Nigeria through literacy programs and educational support
Our mission is to provide shelter, assistance, rehabilitation, and medical care to abandoned, abused, and needy animals in the local community, and find homes for these animals through adoption and transport.
After reading the articles in this Module, I would think that the wording may of this mission statement would deter some donors based on this alone. I think it sounds a little vague and at the same time could be said with plain speak to make it more appealing to a larger majority of people.
The mission statement has vague and lofty goals that might discourage a donor that wants to know more about what is actually being done. In one sense it is broad, but almost too broad.
Very well going on the Fundraising Strategy
W.R.A adds value to the work of women's organisations by providing resources to enable them effectively to advance women’s human rights.
It is a broad mission statement that is most likely to bring new funders on board but however creates a large competition pool.
I think this mission statement is somehow narrow and restrict a wide spectrum of funders from having interests in the organisation.It should be broader and more interesting.
Our mission is "to build a more informed and empowered workforce for Africa’s music and entertainment industry".
I like this mission. Your organization will likely face a good deal of competition, but it will also attract lot of donors focused on healing and health, plant-based diets, or organic farmers and other real food producers, etc.
This is a worthwhile, but very broad mission that can attract both lots of donors and lots of competition. Specifying who in the community (e.g., children, at risk teens, differently abled, etc.) may reduce your organization's competition.
Our Mission is to ensure that everyone woman or youth in Cameroon can easily access funds to start or grow their businesses.
Our Mission is “To create a peaceful society through the provision of quality education and food sovereignty”

(B) very precise and straight to the point. This mission statement can attract a great deal of investment to this organization.
Our mission is to enable small holder farmers access quality inputs so as to improve food security and better the lives of small holder rural farmers.
Sustainably reduce acute malnutrition for children under 5 years
I like your idea and I think it will attract a lot of potential funders but my suggestion is, your mission statement is too broad and it's better for you to add an outcome to your mission statement such as:
Help rural youth apply e-commerce and modern agricultural equipments.
BTW this is just a quick observation, I would like to express my apology if I don't use the correct words for the suggestions or hurt your feelings.
Thanks :)
Help struggling young entrepreneurs raise investment capital for profit.
( B) This mission statement is brief and concise and I believe that it can raise a huge amount of investment.
(B) Cool and straight forward. I think this mission statement will attract a good donation soon.
The mission is broad enough to attract many donors despite the competition.

Our mission is to ensure that individual experiencing severe and recurring mental health challenges have access to effective treatment regardless of income or insurance status. Additionally, MHI advocates for systemic changes that will increase access to, as well as promote education about effective treatment modalities for acute psychiatric illness.
I think that your mission statement needs to be more developed. It does not provide clarity of what your organization does, therefore you may not have as many donors.
@DanielKiprop said in Module 1 Discussion: Mission Statement:

I think this mission statement is good and will attract many donors as it is specific and measurable.
Our Mission Statement will attract many donors because our aim is to provide funding for an orphanage,
the orphanage is already up and running, the houses (3) are build and 20 children are already taken care, we provide housing, food, cloth and education (which is for us the most important topic) that the children can and will go to school. The donation will help to fill the yearly budget to take up more then 50 children.
The fund raising will be attracting all kind of donors from family members, friends, colleagues.
This mission is fantastic and the goal will be a major change for the community.
Empowering women is the goal which will change the world.
IRDO has a mission of empowering disadvantaged communities in collaboration with CSOs and other stakeholders by diversifying their resource base and improving their quality of life through promotion of better livelihood systems
Our mission is: Disseminate and defend the rights of excluded people who suffer discrimination due to poverty, age, gender, color, language or culture.
Our mission is to help young people from the LGBT community who are experiencing depression or anxiety.
I think it is an incredible mission that would attract many donors; in my country, there is a technology fair for women and I think it is great because they give tools and talks for entrepreneurship, etc. Empowering women is something that should take more focus, you would have competition but I think that if you have everything organized you will have an incredible result and you will achieve your goal.
Me parece algo genial, creo que tendría muchos interesados aunque también mucha competencia, con una organización bien hecha podrían tener mas vista y así mas donadores o auspiciantes.
Our aim is producing appropriate and effective humanitarian solutions for the most challenging regions of the rapidly changing world

@Yelisha said in Module 1 Discussion: Mission Statement:
Putting ingenious ideas to work so that people in poverty can change their world
@ Yelisha I think this mission statement will attract few donors simply because you cannot able to really define where the ingenious ideas are coming from. Are the ingenious ideas coming from people living in poverty?
@ThaoTran said in Module 1 Discussion: Mission Statement:
Indicate (a) whether you think it is likely to attract few or many donors and why and (b) whether you think they are likely to face a great deal of funding competition and why.
Similarly, I think the same for @ThaoTran. Your mission statement is not explicit enough. So it my pose a lot of challenges in attracting donors. It will narrow your donor pool.
We are a non-profit organization that focuses on addressing the social, political, and economic needs in a manner that strengthens communities, builds institutional capacity, and fosters local leadership.
Very interesting but one would still question "How". According to my understanding, the mission statement has to allow the donor to be intrigued, the donor has to see the need and has to be convinced that their money is going for a good cause before a proposal is sent out.
Creating an environment for peace an promoting gender equality
