Mission Envy vs. Mission Impact

Mission envy — most nonprofits have at least a minor case of it. Thinking that another organization in your community has it "made." Knowing that the reasons it is so successful are because it has the perfect board members, the easy-to-sell mission, the broad base of community support, the beautiful building(s), the smart and outgoing executive director, a strong development staff. In short — that organization clearly has it all!
