Adopt the charitable venture as a fundraising mission

The impulse to simplify became even stronger after the family visited a struggling orphanage school in Haiti. The need for basic items convinced them to adopt the charitable venture as a fundraising mission.

Hi,

Does the bold in the above mean "to change the charitable venture into a fundraising mission" or something else? Thanks.

Thanks, Mister.

I think your take is perfectly right, but how did you get that meaning?

Huh? That is the meaning of the words in context:

adopt = accept
the charitable venture = the orphanage school
mission = goal (= recipient for funds raised)
