This forum does not appear to have a mission statement.
The forum is sponsored by the Mars Society, and has been for many years.
The first post that remains visible in the forum was this one:

Here I will present my personal work in planetary engineering. I am also very interested to hear about the work of others.

The Founding Declaration of the Mars Society is published on www.marssociety.org
The declaration is about a page long.
As of 2026/06/28 I have not found a "mission statement" in the traditional form. The "Founding Declaration" contains statements that imply elements of a mission.
The "About" page contains what I am looking for:
About the Mars Society
Mission
The Mars Society is the world’s largest and most influential space advocacy organization dedicated to the human exploration and settlement of the planet Mars. Established by Dr. Robert Zubrin and others in 1998, the group works to educate the public, the media and the government on the benefits of exploring Mars and creating a permanent human presence on the Red Planet. Our Founding Declaration describes our goals and our creed.
In order to accomplish our mission, the organization actively seeks to:1. Organize public outreach with the aim of fostering a deep interest in Mars,
2. Promote broad international support for government-funded Mars research and exploration, and
3. Advocate the establishment of commercial space ventures that will help achieve Mars exploration and settlement.Vision
We seek the permanent human settlement of Mars within the next decade. By utilizing the Mars Direct plan (or a similar one), a human mission could be accomplished cost effectively by taking a “living-off-the-land” approach. A large cargo mission could be sent prior to the first human crew, to establish a propellant factory to create fuel from the existing surface water ice and atmospheric resources of Mars. This approach is one that has been adopted by NASA and SpaceX as the primary method for beginning the human exploration and settlement of the red planet.
Programs & Initiatives
Society activities include Mars analog simulations Mars Desert Research Station in the Utah desert and Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station the Canadian Arctic, public outreach and educational programs such as the MarsVR virtual reality simulations, Marspedia online encyclopedia, the annual University Rover Challenge, political advocacy efforts, privately-funded research, chapter meetings and activities in the U.S. and around the world, and the annual International Mars Society Convention.

The summary below was prepared by Google Search:
The Mars Society's mission is to further the goal of the exploration and settlement of the Red Planet.
The group advocates for a humans-to-Mars program as a key priority for space agencies and works to educate the public on the feasibility and benefits of establishing a permanent human presence on Mars.
The organization pursues this mission through three main objectives:
Outreach: Organizing public and educational outreach to foster interest in Mars and space exploration.
Research: Supporting and facilitating government-funded Mars research and operations like the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in Utah.
Commercialization: Advocating for commercial space ventures that will eventually aid in the exploration and permanent settlement of the planet.
To learn more about their founding principles, you can read the complete Mars Society Founding Declaration.
If you want, let me know if you would like to find out more about their research analog stations, how to join a local chapter, or details regarding their annual international convention.
