About Mission Metrics

Helping Nonprofits Do More with What They Have

At Mission Metrics, we believe the nonprofit sector is not underperforming, it’s under-equipped. Our mission is to change that by making data accessible, actionable, and empowering for organizations working to solve the world’s biggest challenges.

Meet the Founder

Michael Garrett
Founder, Mission Metrics | CEO & Founder, Trusted World

I’ve spent more than two decades optimizing complex systems first in corporate operations, then in the nonprofit sector. As the founder of Trusted World, I saw firsthand how powerful the right data and processes can be when it comes to helping people at scale. But I also saw the same barriers over and over: overwhelmed staff, limited resources, and data that feels more like a burden than a benefit.

That’s why I started Mission Metrics: to bridge that gap. My passion is helping mission-driven organizations become more efficient, more confident, and ultimately, more impactful, not by working harder, but by working smarter.

Why It Matters

Nonprofits are being asked to solve more with less—and to prove their results at every turn. But when data becomes a burden instead of a benefit, the impact suffers.

Mission Metrics is here to shift that dynamic. We believe:

  • Data should serve your mission, not distract from it.

  • Efficiency doesn’t mean cutting corners; it means delivering more value per dollar.

  • Transparency and impact tracking build trust with donors, boards, and communities.
