A whitepaper
A charity’s vision represents the future that the organization wants to see, while its mission
represents what the organization itself intends to do, in order to realize that vision.
A mission statement should therefore encapsulate the various roles within a system that the charity feels it is best suited and uniquely positioned to play.
