Parameters for motto, mission and focus should be deprecated ASAP, as per {{
Infobox organization}} where they have been removed per
WP:MISSION. This is especially true for advocacy organisations, as their mission statements are often Orwellian - e.g. quack medical institutions that frame their work as health advocacy. Guy (

Support deprecation These seem to me to be an extension of an organisation's marketing material, and they don't give the reader a better understanding of the subject, so we don't need to be giving them a platform.

Strongly support deprecation institutions, like people (after all, they are run by people) normally state their views to sound as attractive/enticing as possible, sometimes even to hide their real views. Political and advocacy organisations of all kinds are particularly prone to do this, although that's also true of a lot of organisations which is why it's deprecated in that infobox.

Girth Summit: and can we also get rid of "non-profit slogan" while we're at it, see
this as an example.

Doug Weller, I'd actually get rid of all slogans, mottos etc from all info boxes on the same grounds - they tell us nothing useful about the subject, they just serve as an extension of the subject's marketing material.
