vision statement
Future goal declaration
A vision statement is a formal declaration of an organization's long-term aspirations—what it hopes to become or achieve in the future.
Unlike a mission statement, which describes current purpose and activities, a vision statement looks ahead: Our vision is a world without hunger.
Companies, nonprofits, and government agencies use vision statements to inspire and align stakeholders around shared goals.
