A $300M campaign reframed from funding a building to fueling a revolution.
We're a strategy And creative agency for unapologetically bold changemakers who want to amplify the good.
Work that moves missions forward
Nonprofits we work with have raised millions. Under-enrolled schools now have waitlists. Foundations have increased their impact.
Our Work
Funding is tighter. Competition is fiercer. And somehow every nonprofit’s messaging sounds exactly the same.
Mission Minded helps you break this pattern with brand strategies, fundraising campaigns, and creative communications that make people stop, look, and act. Whether your goal is to raise $50,000 or $500 million, attract a new generation of donors, or own your position in the community, we’ll help you boldly stand out.
“Exceptional faculty. Rigorous academics.” Every institution says it. Families have stopped listening.
Mission Minded helps schools and universities find the story only they can tell — through enrollment campaigns, brand strategy, and communications that convert prospective families into applicants. One mid-season rebrand for the Bay School of San Francisco drove 76% more enrollment. We can help you build a case just as strong.
Grantees misread your role. Donors can’t explain what you do. That’s not a brand problem — it’s an impact problem.
Mission Minded helps foundations establish a crystal-clear identity and communicate the distinct role they play, so grantees, donors, and partners all know exactly why the work matters. Whether you need to engage major donors or attract stronger grant applications, we’ll help you stand out as the foundation that sets the standard.
The Forever Forest framework gave our campaign real hope and power — and the messaging is still holding up even in turbulent times.
With an MBA under my belt, I’ve seen a lot of SWOT analyses. This was the best one I’ve come across.
Since the new site launched, traffic is way up, Spanish-language visits have doubled, and people keep telling me how much they love it. Mission Minded made that happen.
Our work with you was some of the most gratifying and exciting work that we have undertaken as an organization, and I will continue to be grateful to both of you and the whole Mission Minded team.
