3. What Is a Logic Model?
A Logic Model, or Theory of Change as
it is sometimes called, is a framework
for your proposal. It is a tool to
help you think through all of the key
elements of your project to frame it
so you can ensure its stability,
soundness, innovation, and
sustainability.

LOGIC
reasonable
the relationship of elements to each
other and a whole
MODEL
small object representing another,
often larger object (represents
reality, isn’t reality)
preliminary pattern serving as a plan
tentative description of a system or
theory that accounts for all its
known properties
The American Heritage Dictionary, 2nd Ed
6. Why do I need a Logic Model?
To ensure that you have all the
proposal elements in place
To help get everyone on the same
page with the project by thinking it
through
To more easily see any gaps in your
project idea

8. Where are you going?
How will you get there?
What will show that you’ve arrived?
“If you don’t know
where you are going,
how are you gonna
know when you get
there?”
Yogi Berra

Outputs vs. outcomes
Not how many worms
the bird feeds its young,
but how well the fledgling flies
(United Way of America, 1999)
Example:
Number of patients discharged from state
mental hospital is an output
Percentage of discharged who are capable
of living independently is an outcome
13. Logic Models help the Team Think From
a Different Perspective
A grant proposal (virtually) always
requires a team planning process
Challenge - getting people on board
Has to be something folks are bound and
determined to do, no matter what
Something all are committed to doing one
way or another
What else do people need to do this work?
Buy-in happens when the team is committed
and has committed their “things” (INPUTS)
If not, you probably won't get the grant
14. Logic Models = Good Project Planning
Challenge: How to convey the
necessity of a project approach to
folks who just want resources?
How do we get people planning in a
real way?
Jump right in, ask questions
Even if you think you are not using a
logic model, its elements are the
things you would naturally think
through while designing a project

17. Key Project Questions
Who is the leadership? (Is it you?)
Is it consultative? Who needs to say
yes? Who can say no?
Is it collaborative? Who else do you
need to work with?
What do you propose to do and how do
you plan to get it done?
When and where will the project take
place?
Why is this project important?
What impact will it have?
Who and how many will it impact?

22. More Project Planning Questions
Data Collection (Evaluation):
How are you going to show people
you did what you said you were
going to do?
How are you going to figure out if
it worked? If you made a real
impact?
Final step
check with the team that the logic
model correctly outlines the
project plan
