About us
Mission Partners guides purpose-driven organizations in realizing their greatest social impact. We provide strategic planning, visioning, and communications services for purpose driven organizations—often during critical moments of organizational transition—that ensure growth, stability, and differentiation in often crowded markets. In the past decade, we’ve counseled hundreds of foundations, nonprofit organizations, and social impact organizations as well as the partners who fund and support their work. We’ve helped organizations refine their strategies, increase their impact and amplify their stories. We track and measure progress every step of the way. And we regularly invest our own dollars and time back into the clients we represent. All because we know that every bit we can do to share and strengthen a powerful idea will leave this place, a better place. As a Certified B Corporation, we pledge to foster a radically inclusive and richly regenerative economy. Our company voluntarily invests in meeting significantly higher standards of sustainability, governance and giving back to the community in our daily operations. At Mission Partners, we believe business is a force for good and we are committed to providing an environment of mutual respect for all employees and partners. We believe the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.

📈According to a 2023 study by the Pew Research Center, nearly half of all U.S. workers (46%) don't use up all their allotted paid time off—despite most employees believing that paid time off is important. We believe that time away to fully unplug is integral to our team's overall health and well-being. In 2023, our employees used 93% of their paid time off. With customized out-of-office memos that clearly delegate team members' assignments, when an employee is off, they are fully off because they know that they’re supported. You can learn more about our approach to wellness and company culture here: https://lnkd.in/dNCgid3A How do you encourage your team to take PTO and fully unplug?

When it comes to discussing contested issues, it can be hard to find common ground. And it can often feel easier to avoid than to understand. That's why Carrie Fox's latest #FindingTheWords focuses on John Paul Lederach's call to "Choose to Understand." Because some of the most revolutionary acts we can take to improve our social fabric are also the most simple. Read on: https://lnkd.in/etwt8iES #Communications #SocialImpact #CourageousLeadership

For current and future C-suite leaders, soft skills are critical to success. 🏆 Last year, Mission Partners surveyed over 800 purpose-driven leaders nationwide to rate their own effectiveness as communicators. Findings show: 🔎Over half of leaders listed “leading through challenging moments” as one of their top communications challenges. 🔎The same leaders who highly value communication as a business strategy under-invest in growing their skills. Learn more about our findings, and how leaders can tap into the hard skills of communication to advance business strategies and the public good: https://lnkd.in/eacbEec4

Are we headed toward civil war here in the United States? That’s the question renowned #peacebuilder John Paul Lederach is asked with increasing frequency. In an op-ed in The Washington Post, he draws forward lessons and stories from his newly released “Pocket Guide for Facing Down a Civil War,” Dr. Lederach says “the best way to end a civil war is to stop it before it happens.” From his work in conflict zones around the world, Dr. Lederach shares inspiring stories of people around the world who have defied violence and pursued peace. As America faces deepening divides, political violence, and #polarization, everyday people may be asking themselves what role they play in breaking the cycles of violence. Indeed, everyday people's courage, relationships, and humanity are the key to bridging divides and choosing a different path forward. This is a #MustRead for anyone committed to peace. Please help share it far and wide. Op-ed: https://lnkd.in/egr3TwNk Pocket guide: https://lnkd.in/gH2FNyiV

What does it mean to orient your life around your #mission? Listen in to learn more: https://lnkd.in/evydqBrM
What does it mean to orient your life around your #mission? We talk about mission all the time around these parts, but when was the last time you stopped, took a deep breath, and embarked on the discernment journey around not just what you do in the world but what you want to leave behind when you're gone from it? In this episode, Carrie Fox is joined by John Izzo, Ph.D., author, and advisor who has dedicated his mission to helping companies and individuals find theirs. Dr. Izzo shares that he believes that we're at an inflection point, where we could create a more #regenerative society or head down a darker path. The choice is made by the #cultures we create.
