Breaking Cycles Ministry is a non-profit organization that relies on grant funding and
donations to provide mentorship programs, life skills training, and community outreach to
inner-city residents in Nashville. The organization does not have a revenue-generating
business model, and its mission is focused on empowering individuals to break negative
cycles of poverty and achieve financial and emotional stability in their lives with the help of a
relationship with God. The ultimate goal of the organization is to have a positive impact on
the community by providing resources and opportunities for social and cultural enrichment,
leading to long-term improvements in the lives of the people it serves.
What achievements or milestones have you hit so far?This question is required. *
Our Organization has achieved several significant milestones since its founding in October
2018. These include:
1. Sponsoring a family for Christmas in 2022: This shows that the organisation is
committed to helping those in need and making a positive impact in the community.
2. Holding a community event in Fall of 2022: This demonstrates we have the ability to
organise and execute successful events, which can help raise awareness of our
mission and attract more supporters.
3. Attending and partnering with other non-profits for our events all through 2021, 2022,
and 2023: This highlights our collaboration and networking skills, which can be
important for building relationships and expanding its reach in the community.
4. Gaining the support of Martha O'Bryan, who is in the community we are currently
serving and has provided resources of space: This is a significant achievement, as it
shows that we have gained the trust and support of a prominent figure in the
community, which can help boost our credibility and visibility.
5. Establishing a website and social media presence: This is a vital step in modern-day
communication and outreach, and it shows that our organisation is leveraging
technology to expand its reach and engage with its supporters.
6. Being connected to larger non-profits who like our vision and mission and have been
mentoring us on the best moves to make: This is an excellent achievement, as it
indicates that our organisation is seeking advice and guidance from experienced and
established non-profits, which can help us avoid common mistakes and make
informed decisions about our future growth and development.
Who are your main competitors?
Our organization is focused on making a positive impact in the community and collaborating
