Now that you’ve identified your feelings towards giving and certain causes or issues you care about, use the top three words from Steps 1 and 2 and use them to create a mission statement however creatively as you’d like. Use your identified words as action items, as rewards, or as descriptions. Don’t feel the need to fit your statement into a pre-determined template. See below for an example.

In this I will find fulfillment.”
