Develop a Marketing Plan As Part of Strategic Planning Process

Quixote Center was founded in 1976 as a multi-issue social justice center in the Catholic social justice tradition. The Center has a very loyal donor base that has sustained the organization but the donor network has contracted in recent years. Over the next several months, the plan is to have a board-level mission discussion and then to develop an organization-wide strategic plan. As part of that process, we would like to consider how to engage new constituents and think at a deeper level about who we would like to engage – in short, a marketing plan for the Center for at least the next year with some suggestions over the next 5 years.
