Who's had their Mission Met?

  • I’m in the process of recruiting a developer for our team and when he asked what we our working on, I was able to go to our strategic plan and show our goals and actions that have our values embedded in them. This strategic plan is essentially what I will be using to answer those important questions.
    — Streetwide
  • This method of simplification transformed the way we think about strategic planning. It’s a game changer. Previously our plans were long and unfocused and they felt so overwhelming. This program taught us strategic planning in a way that is easy to digest, easy for the team to understand, and most importantly, easy to take action on.
    — Far Away Friends
  • Through this process we were able to make key decisions about our fundraising efforts and have shifted our focus to high-impact fundraising initiatives. This focus will allow us to continue to bring in funds and will free up valuable time and resources for our staff to work on other initiatives.
    — Folsom Historical Society
  • To bring our plan to life, the Mission Met team designed a compelling booklet that we shared with our entire donor and funder community. The visuals and content in the booklet paint a picture that both informs and motivates stakeholders to support our work now and engage with us over the next four years.
    — YES Nature to Neighborhoods
  • I didn’t know much about strategic planning going into the program but it always seemed overwhelming. This program helped me see that a strategic plan doesn’t need to be complicated.
    — Project Libertad
  • This strategic process helps create a plan that is honed in and well-articulated which allows us to utilize it during fundraising. We plan to use it to determine where we want to focus our energy when looking for funds and also when we are completing applications to show that we have a strategic plan with a specific focus on fundraising. It really shows how all the pieces fit together.
    — California Urban Streams
