Mission-Based Organizations

Mission-based organizations are entities primarily driven by a specific purpose or goal aimed at making a positive impact in society. Unlike profit-driven businesses, their focus is on fulfilling their mission—such as improving education, health, or the environment—regardless of financial gain. They often include charities, non-profits, and social enterprises. These organizations operate to serve the public good, reinvesting any surplus funds into their mission rather than distributing profits to owners or shareholders. Their success is measured by their ability to advance their mission and create meaningful change.
