About Non-Profit Mission Statement Worksheet

What’s included
- Reflection on current activities and beneficiary needs
- Purpose and approach prompts

How to use it in practice
Invite relevant stakeholders to describe the work in concrete terms before drafting the statement. Compare the words with actual activities and beneficiary needs, then remove claims the organization cannot support. Test a short draft with readers outside the drafting group and document the agreed version.
