The mission statement helps to define your fundraising prospect and your competition aside from informing others about what an organisation does , it should be stated clearly so that the board and staff of the organisation can proudly recite it when asked, it should be able to provide answers such as what an organisation does to whom it works for or supports and what outcome it seeks. A broad mission statement provides for broad potential donors and a broad range of competitors just as a narrow mission translates into fewer fundraising prospect and less competition. It is worth noting that by clarifying your mission and vision statement, building on your brand and image and making a solid case for support from funders, you have inturn prepared your organisation for fundraising.

This Module give me a lot of thought to do for my organization. Thanks

It is very important to have a sound mission statement because it tells the potential funders why do your organization exists

Improving education standards for adults.

it is important that a mission statement should not be ambigious

A mission statement explains why an organization exists. As you lay out the mission of purpose you indirectly define your universe of donors and competition.

An Organizations Mission Statement in a good identity for the Organization with regard to donors. But caution should be taken, the broader the Mission statement, the more donors it will appeal too, but too, will be the competition

In my opinion after going through it module the Mission statemement is connects the operations of the non-profit organization. withough a clear mission statement the organization with be a sinking ship

Support comes in several forms, but to dwell on restricted vs unrestricted support its also to have avenues through which a non profit organization brings in considerable amounts of unrestricted support as this can help with crucial areas like salaries, rent which though important, are usually not covered by donor support.

To acquire more skills that will be valuable to my organization and enhance myself personally.

I have really benefited from this topic, because I have been having dificulties on how to distinguish a vision statement and a mission statement, but from now and as I will be going through my note, I have an understanding on how to create or comme up with a mission statement, a vision statement and defining values for an organization.

To better the lives of children and women through education, training and talent development.

@instructional_team 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.
