Hi Amber, I just found your video now after writing out the NPO I want to start, and I must say your video just gave me food for thought. When I wake up later I’ll write out my mission and vision because I don’t have that yet on paper, but I am pretty clear on what I want to achieve with my NPO. It is 02:55 am my baby has been sleeping for an hour now and my mind is just all over the place. You got yourself a new subscriber 💕💕from South Africa 🇿🇦

I've been battling homelessness is the Ashland WI Area (winter temps can get 50 below with wind chill; summers can get up to 90 degrees that are very humid). I have a pro bono attorney that is just charging filing costs. Was hoping to see if this vision statement is good. We help homeless people substain stability that have underlying issues. Thank you for your video!!💛

Hello Jeanna! That sounds more like a "mission statement" (rather than a vision statement). My main question in writing this mission statement would be 'what does stability' look like (is it being in a home for many years in a row? Something else?)?

Great inshights ! ... on 3:38 when you where speaking about crafting the mission around the vision, you talked about : why you wanna achieve your "mission". .was it a Slip of the tongue xD?..did you meant why you wanna achieve your "vision"? i got confused a little bit on that, are we referring to the vision or purpose here? or neither those two, instead we mean some short term and more tengible and immidiate outcomes that our target audience will get?

Hi again! This makes so much sense! Is there anything I should know if our nonprofit updates our mission and vision statements, as far as our 501 c 3 status goes? They will be similar, but worded differently from the original statements we submitted when applying for tax exempt status several years ago. In other words, do we need to update it with IRS too?

Yes, you'll need to update your governing documents and the IRS.

Hi! My group has been running for about 6 months now. Our mission statement is: "Our mission is to ease the burdens of homeless and impoverished people in Hunt County by providing food, hygeine needs, clothing, and fellowship. We do consider ourselves a Christian organization, but we do not have an affiliation with any churches or a belief statement. Should we have a belief statement? What is the purpose of this. We consider ourselves Christian because we do discuss God and hand out Bibles. Should that be expressed somehow?

Hi! I am not sure you need to put the faith affiliation in the mission statement itself (unless you just want to), but you can share it on a website (this is how I see others do this).
