Mission, Vision & Values
Mission, Vision & Values
Project details
What we need
- Review of existing mission, vision and/or values
- Analysis of the existing programs and any future plans
- Strategic consultation surrounding the existing functions and the core needs the Organization seeks to address
- Freshly written mission, vision & values statements
Additional details
Our current mission statement is more than a decade old; we do not have vision and values statements. We need to create these to reflect current times and priorities.
What we have in place
- We currently have recent promotional material and finished a SWOT assessment, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have staff and/or board members who will act as lead contacts,, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,248 , allowing us to focus more effectively on direct engagement with our community.
It will give us a touchstone on which to base our work in a disciplined, strategic way.
Project plan
Our mission
We provide a way for renters, homeowners, businesses, and nonprofits to create a vibrant, safe, welcoming neighborhood for those who live, work, and visit here.
What we do
Every Saint Paul neighborhood has a district council. Here in District 10, that's us: The Como Community Council.
We are not part of City government or part of a political party. We are an independent nonprofit. We are the glue behind neighborhood action. We connect neighbors with other neighbors who want to accomplish things. And we mix work with fun.
Big picture, we magnify the ideas and power of our community members. We give residents, businesses, and local organizations a constructive, respected, ongoing way to combine voices. We push for decisions that are made from the bottom up, not the top down. We provide a trusted space to talk and listen, the support for grassroots energy, a hub for local partnerships, a way to stay informed, a place to get things done.
When we can, we work cooperatively with institutions, city staff, and elected officials. When we can't, we challenge them. We are accountable to our neighbors, and run by a 17-member board of volunteers elected by our neighbors.
