Mite Programs

Mite programs involve a dedicated team of project coordinators and donor care professionals working throughout the year. Our project coordinators are responsible for lining up each year’s project schedule, and our donor care and communications teams are responsible for connecting and communicating that wonderful storytelling for which Mite is legendary. ​

In the first part of January, our project travel season begins. As Mite rolls out its well-vetted, impactful humanitarian projects, our team focuses on engaging the giving community, documenting project commencements, and producing updates and celebration videos for the donors.

During this time, Mite staff work directly with our project partners to successfully complete the scheduled projects. Significant work is done behind the scenes to ensure the project season is impactful for both the givers and the recipients on these humanitarian ventures. ​

It is critical to Mite’s team that we serve both our donors and our outreach partners in an excellent way. To evaluate our performance, Mite’s project team has developed a Partner/Project Survey, which is completed by our partners’ staff after each completed project. This survey provides valuable feedback used to improve Mite processes and bring even more success to our programs. ​Here are some consistent results we see in the surveys:​

• How many partner organizations said they would work again with Mite? 100%
• 90% of partners surveyed said that the Celebration Video produced on their project had a professional appearance.
• Would our partners share eMite with fellow non-profit organizations? 100% Yes

Collaborative charity provides several key benefits:

1. Mite donors understand what they are giving to and the intended result of their giving. There is no grey area or fogginess in the outreach process. The end result is documented. The impact is greater than any one of the collaborators could have accomplished alone.
2. Mite’s outreach partners work within their mission, continuing to serve those in need. The generous gifts from the donor help expand the partners’ influence - no fundraising circuit required. The boots on the ground continue to work on their God-given mission.
3. Mite continue to expand its outreach to new donors, giving more people the opportunity to join in a truly impactful charity.
4. Through our project process, all involved focus on what they do best. A Mite partner stated, "We so appreciate Mite's approach of not taking over, but rather coming alongside and determining how they can best support us and the project." Some give, some do the work, and others document and report the result of that work. Removing any part of the network would diminish the overall impact.
5. The Mite project process relies on the knowledge and skills of people on the ground, those actively involved in the mission within the country where the outreach is happening. Mite staff clearly admit to not knowing what is best for the recipient. But our partner organizations do! By working day in and day out in the communities where they minister, Mite’s outreach partners know the best and most necessary work to be done. Their long-term presence in the communities where they work ensures the sustainability of our projects. It also significantly increases the likelihood of a successful outreach supported by the Mite community.
