Public Mission Profile
Share a branded public page for your organization’s work — programs, stats, and current needs in one place.
For nonprofits, the people around the work, and the stories that come out of it
Keep the stories your mission creates.
Donors cannot support what they never get to see. MissionAligned helps nonprofits collect stories, submissions, social signals, and program activity, then turn them into source-backed evidence for funding, reporting, and trust — donor updates, grant narratives, board materials, annual reports, and 990 storytelling.
Give volunteers, board members, staff, supporters, partners, and participants a better way to tell the story of what they see, learn, contribute, and make possible.
Now inviting a small group of beta nonprofits while we harden public sharing, consent, and abuse protections.

Why it matters
Don’t lose your mission stories to the feed.
Social media helps your story travel, but it was not built to preserve the evidence of your mission. A volunteer reflection, board member post, program update, or partner story may get attention for a day, then disappear into the timeline.
MissionAligned gives those moments a better home. Share stories, promote current work, and invite participation, while building a reusable record your nonprofit can use later for donor updates, impact reports, annual reports, grants, campaigns, board materials, and 990 narratives.
Promote the work now. Preserve the evidence for later.
Today
Marisol opened the pantry at 6:12 a.m. Three families were already waiting.
Yesterday
A board member rode the South Route and saw why delivery is not optional.
Last week
A grocery partner added 42 produce boxes after seeing the waitlist.
From moment to mission evidence
Before the pantry opened, three families were already waiting outside. A volunteer note becomes evidence of demand, trust, and the delivery gap your next grant report needs to explain.

Why MissionAligned
The name is the method.
Mission-driven work thrives when the people around it move in the same direction. MissionAligned is a network built around four kinds of alignment — the shared footing that turns scattered effort into durable change.
Aligned around
Purpose
Nonprofit workers, board members, supporters, and volunteers — united by the missions they serve.
Aligned around
Learning
Practical lessons, pilot programs, and templates from the field — shared so they travel farther.
Aligned around
Recognition
The staff, volunteers, and supporters behind every mission — named, spotlighted, and celebrated.
Aligned around
Change
What works in one community can strengthen the next — compounding into lasting social change.
From the feed
Two kinds of content. One feed.
MissionAligned brings together useful nonprofit insights and the human stories behind the work. Some posts reveal patterns from nonprofit activity. Others come from the people closest to the mission.
Latest posts
Useful observations from nonprofit activity, public filings, programs, partnerships, and operating models. Field Notes help people see what is working and what other organizations can learn from it.

Lake County Free Clinic Inc
Lake County Free Clinic — 3,792 volunteers vs 8 employees delivering free healthcare
Found this in the 2023 Form 990 for Lake County Free Clinic in Ohio, and the ratio stopped me: 3,792 volunteers working alongside just 8 paid staff. That's 474 volunteers for every employee. What does that leverage buy? Chronic care, acute care, women's health, preventive care, an on-site pharmacy, laboratory services, and case management — all at no charge. Program service revenue on the 990: $0. Patients pay nothing, full stop. The cost side is just as striking. Total expenses were $1,520,812, and only $388,537 of that went to salaries. Most free clinics dream of that overhead profile; this one runs on donated clinical hours. Donors seem to have noticed. Contributions more than doubled in one year, from $860,494 to $1,762,659. The 990 doesn't tell you who those 3,792 people are — the retired nurses, the physicians giving up a Saturday. But it tells you what they're collectively worth: a full-service clinic for an entire Ohio county, at the cost of a single administrator's office elsewhere.

NC TechPaths Inc
NC TechPaths' rural tech-jobs strategy: a downtown building and a community-college handoff
NC TechPaths (EIN 87-2625452) reported $421K in 2023 revenue with one stated mission: "helping our rural neighbors gain access to technology jobs and remain in their home region." In 2023 the org bought a building in downtown North Wilkesboro and named it The Masthead. They call it the first "Rural Tech Outpost," part workspace, part convening spot for anyone in Wilkes County interested in tech or entrepreneurship. The same year, they handed off their talent pipeline. In October 2023, NC TechPaths transferred its program for recruiting and coaching learners into software development, network management, cybersecurity, and IT support to Wilkes Community College. Both in the same fiscal year, with six employees on staff.

Gifts to Give Inc
Gifts to Give Inc — 12,500 volunteers, no paid staff, $395K budget
Found this in their 2023 Form 990. Gifts to Give, in Acushnet, MA, brought in $394,907 last year, all of it from contributions, and spent $0 on fundraising. Paid employees: zero. Volunteers: 12,500. Families drop off gently-used clothes, toys, books, and other things they no longer need. Kids do the sorting and packing at the org's "repurposing factory." Local agencies serving homeless or in-need children order the finished bundles. What got me about this is that children serve children here, with the adults mostly out of the way. The 990 calls it "tangible philanthropy and big citizenship." I'd just call it the program. The 12,500-volunteer count almost certainly includes every child who passed through the factory on a school trip, not weekly regulars. The $0 fundraising line probably means those costs are buried in program services. But the shape of the org is real, and it's not common.

Steppingstone Center
Steppingstone Center named its teaching method after the founder's father, Kenji Akaba
Found this in Steppingstone Center's most recent 990, Plymouth, Michigan. The school serves gifted learners K-8 — a population that often gets lost in age-based grade assignment, since cognitive development and physical/social maturity rarely line up. What caught me: their entire pedagogical method has a name and a person attached to it. They call it the Akaba Model of Differentiated Education, named after the founder's father, Kenji Akaba. The method has "evolved over years of teaching gifted learners at Steppingstone," in the school's own words. It's built to flex with each student rather than march them forward by age. Most schools quietly run on a generic philosophy. Steppingstone formally credits a single person — the founder's dad — every time they describe what they do. That's a different kind of institutional memory. If you run a small mission-driven school or training org, this is worth thinking about: is the way you teach distinctive enough to name? And whose intellectual lineage built it? Naming methods after the people who actually shaped them is an act of remembrance that's easy to skip.

Express Carriers Association; Greater Milwaukee Community Foundation
Express Carriers Association memorial scholarship for women in business honoring Carrie Ehlers
Found this in Express Carriers Association's most recent 990, Carlsbad, California. ECA is a trade group for light-and-medium freight carriers — not a sector you'd guess would be doing gender-equity scholarships. But here's what they did: they routed money to the Greater Milwaukee Community Foundation to establish a scholarship fund in memory of Carrie Ehlers, former president of the Express Carriers Association. The fund supports female college students pursuing a degree in business. That's straight from the 990. A few things stand out. First, trucking and logistics are heavily male-dominated industries — the trade association explicitly chose to memorialize their former president by helping more women enter the broader business world, not just the trucking world. Second, they didn't try to administer the scholarship themselves. They handed the endowment to a community foundation that already does this well. That's a smaller-org move other trade associations can copy. You don't need a development department to set up a named legacy fund. You need a community foundation partner and a clear honoree.

Cedarburg Landmark Preservation Society; Central Vermont Memorial Civic Center
Facility rental as the operating engine for asset-rich nonprofits
Cedarburg Landmark Preservation Society (Cedarburg, WI) reports $317,425 in total revenue. Historic-building rental: $310,544 — 98% of the operation. Their preservation work is funded almost entirely by renting out the buildings they preserve. The asset pays for itself. Different sector, same template: Central Vermont Memorial Civic Center (Montpelier, VT) reports $307,647 in revenue, $295,163 (96%) from facility rental. Mission: an athletic and cultural facility for Vermont residents. The model flips the asset on the balance sheet. The building isn't a cost center waiting on grants. It's the product.

MissionAligned is
Community building with a purpose
MissionAligned helps nonprofits capture the moments that usually get scattered across emails, social posts, board updates, grant reports, and hallway conversations — and turn them into a reusable record of the work happening now.
How MissionAligned works
Four stepsCapture the mission moment
Post a program update, need, story, milestone, lesson, or reflection from the work as it happens.
Invite the people around the work
Volunteers, board members, staff, supporters, partners, and participants can add their perspective and help show the mission from more than one angle.
Share the story where it matters
Promote stories through your existing channels while keeping them connected to your Mission Profile.
Reuse the evidence later
Turn stories into donor updates, impact reports, grant language, board materials, campaigns, annual reports, and 990 narratives.
What you get
Two layersAlways free
Free to everyone, forever
- A simple annual summary to support Part I, Part III, and Schedule O of your 990
- A simple ongoing dashboard to view your impact in real time
- A shared space to strengthen community, visibility, and engagement around your mission
Deeper support
With membership
- Customized reports to support 990 reporting
- On-demand custom impact reports tailored for grant submissions and donor reports
- Strategic planning and impact management dashboards, plus board checklists
Why this works
Nonprofits are already sharing stories across channels. MissionAligned gives those stories a place to connect, invites more of the people around the work to contribute, and turns that activity into something more useful for community building, visibility, reporting, and planning.
Reusable mission content
From story to report.
Every story shared on MissionAligned can become part of a reusable mission record. Over time, that record can support donor updates, impact reports, board materials, grant narratives, annual reports, campaigns, and 990 storytelling.
Instead of waiting until the end of the year to reconstruct impact from memory, nonprofits can collect mission moments as they happen. The result is a more human, specific, and current picture of the work.
Use MissionAligned stories for
- Donor updates
- Impact reports
- Annual reports
- Board materials
- Grant narratives
- Campaign pages
- Volunteer recognition
- Partner updates
- 990 narratives
One story, written once, can quietly carry the mission across every audience that needs to hear it.
Where it fits
Built for the layer your other tools miss.
Most nonprofit tools manage records, tasks, transactions, or documents. MissionAligned helps preserve the living story of the mission: what happened, who helped, what was needed, what changed, and why continued support matters.
CRM

Donor, supporter, volunteer, and constituent records.
What MissionAligned adds
Stories, needs, participation, and human context that make donor relationships easier to understand and renew.
Social media

Reach, attention, and distribution.

A reusable record of mission evidence that does not disappear into the feed.
Board portal

Agendas, minutes, votes, and governance documents.
What MissionAligned adds
Current stories board members can share in donor conversations, introductions, and community advocacy.
Fundraising platform

The story context that helps people understand why giving again matters.
Nonprofit databases
What it manages
Institutional records, filings, profiles, and financial data.
What MissionAligned adds
Active mission signals from the work happening now, not only institutional records from the past.
When the story is missing, every donor conversation has less to build on.
Trust & consent
Built carefully for public mission work
Making mission activity public is powerful and sensitive. These are the commitments the beta is built around.
You control what becomes public
Organizations decide what is published, what stays internal, and what gets taken down. Public visibility is always a choice.
Private people stay private
Public pages should never expose private constituent or staff data. Public stats are safe aggregates, not individual records.
Evidence stays source-backed
Every piece of mission evidence keeps its provenance — who shared it, where it came from, and the consent attached to it.
AI supports human review
Reporting assistance helps you draft and organize — it does not make unsupported impact claims on your behalf.
Hardening before we widen
Public forms, reactions, and follows are being rate-limited and abuse-tested before we open to broader traffic. That's why beta is small.
Not a replacement for your stack
MissionAligned is not a CRM, accounting system, email platform, or social media scheduler. It's the mission engagement and evidence layer alongside them.
Why join early
Be part of what MissionAligned becomes.
The beta isn't a waitlist. It's an invitation to shape a network that treats nonprofit work with the seriousness, warmth, and care it deserves.
“Nonprofits already have the relationships, the trust, and the ground-level knowledge. What's missing is a system designed to connect that strength to systemic change.”
Jason Prunty
Founder of MissionAligned

Beta access
Request beta access
We're inviting a small number of nonprofits to help shape MissionAligned before broader release. Beta organizations should be willing to test public mission profiles, lightweight evidence collection, Mission Feed, Mission Pulse, and funding and reporting workflows with real but carefully scoped use cases.
