Have a clear mission. When we set out to create the Dialight Foundation, we wanted to make it really specific to Dialight. What can WE do that is different and a value-add from other charities that already exist. For us, it really came down to the local impact and being a good neighbor in our communities. Having a clear mission will help ensure that your activities are always aligned with your purpose and will weed out things that might not be a fit.
