Non-profit organizations, like any other, are not without their challenges. Among the most pressing and monumental challenges these organizations face is a need for a clear strategy and vision that is communicated and advanced inside and outside the organization – through their staff, board, donors, funders, and constituents. This challenge is often addressed through comprehensive strategic planning, tools for internal management, a competent leadership pipeline, sustainable human resource practices, and smart fundraising and grant strategy.
Even with committed stakeholders who want to move the organization forward, leaders often lack the resources to hire outside consultants, leading to an inability to reach the desired level of impact within the community.
Mission Met is a strategic planning company that works with mission-driven organizations to help them achieve their goals. Through creating strategic action plans, developing internal systems and practices, and leadership assessment services, Mission Met strives to strengthen the field of nonprofits and agencies that serve the community.
In order to fulfill this goal on time, Mission Met employs agile strategic-planning methods and software that helps guide the organization throughout the planning process and execution of their plan. With Mission Met, the creation and plotting of strategic goals are streamlined through their simple yet effective software that quickly plots out and adjusts action plans, among other functions. The software also offers email reminders, calendar feed, metrics reporting, and document storage.
In addition to this well-defined process, the firm has been able to reduce the cost of strategic planning services by leveraging its own software, strategic planning training content, and a book on improving strategic planning execution and increasing effectiveness. All of this leads to lower-cost engagements for their clients and more effective processes because the client can own more of it over time.
Their software is designed specifically for non-profit executive directors, CEOs, and nonprofit leaders to address the administrative challenges they face daily and also aids them in their efforts to streamline their resources and serve their communities simultaneously.
Eric Ryan and Ricky Chilcott, the co-founders of Mission Met, believe in a call for change within non-profit organizations. By introducing practical tools that help organizations achieve their goals, Eric and Ricky hope to foster the development of future leaders in the community to ensure the long-term sustainability of these organizations and a higher standard of living for all.
One of the firm’s clients is a growing nonprofit organization in Texas named The Migrant Clinicians Network. The Migrant Clinicians Network has engaged Mission Met for a number of years in helping them develop and execute their strategy, and after extensive research, has made the investment in reliable software to help them with their strategic planning and assessment of current practices. Through Mission Met’s commitment, the Migrant Clinicians Network was able to secure a $5 million grant from the Mackenzie Scott Foundation.
Mission Met has a lot of potential to affect a wide range of non-profit organizations across the country and is already off to a great start. Mission Me Center is a must-have tool for the operations of any non-profit or agency that aims to leave a lasting impact within the community.
