And that's a problem. You simply can’t stay focused on what matters most to your mission and responsibly advocate for the budget you need to achieve your goals without one.
That’s why we created The Essential Nonprofit Marketing Plan Template. It is designed to introduce you to our proven 4-D System for marketing planning, which is tailored to the realities of the modern nonprofit.
Work through its pages and you’ll have the starting point for a marketing plan that can truly transform your nonprofit’s mission impact.
Through our work with a wide variety of nonprofits, we've developed a proven 4-D Process for nonprofit marketing planning and execution, Now, we’ve built it into a 4-D System you can use yourself at your own organization.
It includes the following four phases, which we’ll introduce you to through the
pages of the Essential Nonprofit Marketing Plan Template:
While we can’t possibly share everything we do with our clients in each of these phases within this template, we can introduce you to some of the most important components from each and give you a starting point from which you can begin rethinking your marketing plan. We’ll also show you areas where you can “go deeper” and take your marketing plan to the next level.
How is the template intended to be used?
There are two ways to use the template:
1. Duplicate the Google Slides file and use it as a starting point for your own marketing plan slides. You can add and delete pages as needed while you work.
2. Download the PDF and write on the worksheets. Then, use your work to inform the development of a marketing plan in the format you prefer.
You'll get access to both options when you fill out the form above.
