Remember…
- Your mission communicates why your nonprofit exists and what you do. This is your core purpose statement, and everything in your strategic plan ultimately ties to achieving your mission.
- Everything your nonprofit does is guided by your vision and values.
- An organization’s mission, vision, and values may need updating for a variety of reasons. If you believe revisions are needed for your nonprofit’s mission, vision, and/or values, the Envision stage may be most important in your strategic planning process.
- Typically, a nonprofit’s board is responsible for approving the organization’s mission, vision, and values. Get clarity around input and final decision-making related to this work upfront.
