Guide to Creating Mission & Vision Statements

I am collaboration with HandsOn Network and their parent org, Points of Light, to create a guide for creating a volunteer management program.  The finished product will be available as a single download, however we wanted to create a series of stand alone resources as well.

Also check out the list of 50 of the top nonprofit mission statements.

The second installment in this series centers around creating mission and vision statements. These principles hold true not only to those looking to create or evaluate a mission and vision statement for a volunteer program but for any other place were they are used.

If you have any feedback or questions, please let us know.

    Craig, this is fantastic material to remove the abiguity from mission and vision statements. I have seen vision and mission statements from fortune 500 companies and left more confused that ever. The “fog” factor was thick. The 50 top non profits are very clear and compelling. Thank you!
