=== WHAT IS A LOGIC MODEL? ===

A logic model is a visual map of how your program creates change. It shows the chain from resources → activities → results.

**Why funders love it:**
- Shows you've thought through the entire program logic
- Makes assumptions visible
- Creates clear evaluation benchmarks
- Demonstrates accountability
- Can be reviewed in 30 seconds

=== LOGIC MODEL COMPONENTS ===

**INPUTS → ACTIVITIES → OUTPUTS → SHORT-TERM OUTCOMES → LONG-TERM OUTCOMES → IMPACT**

**1. Inputs (Resources)**
What you need to run the program:
- Funding: $[amount]
- Staff: [FTEs and roles]
- Volunteers: [number]
- Partnerships: [key partners]
- Space: [facility]
- Technology: [systems]
- Curriculum / materials: [what]
- Data systems: [for tracking]

**2. Activities (What You Do)**
The actual program activities:
- [Activity 1]: [description, frequency, duration]
- [Activity 2]: [description]
- [Activity 3]: [description]
- [Activity 4]: [description]

**3. Outputs (What You Produce — countable)**
The direct products of the activities:
- [X] individuals enrolled
- [X] workshops conducted
- [X] hours of service delivered
- [X] referrals made
- [X] materials distributed

Outputs are NOT outcomes. Outputs count what you did. Outcomes measure what changed.

**4. Short-Term Outcomes (Changes in 0-12 months)**
What changes for participants in the near term:
- [X]% increase in [knowledge/awareness/skill]
- [X]% of participants report [behavior change]
- [X]% demonstrate [measurable competency]
- [X]% access [service/resource] for the first time

**5. Long-Term Outcomes (Changes in 1-3 years)**
What changes over time:
- [X]% achieve [sustained behavior change]
- [X]% maintain [improved status] for 12+ months
- [Systemic change]: [policy, practice, or system shift]

**6. Impact (Ultimate Goal)**
The big-picture change you're working toward:
- [Community-level change]: "Reduced [problem] in [area] by [X]%"
- [Population-level change]: "[Population] achieves [improved state]"

=== LOGIC MODEL TABLE FORMAT ===

| Inputs | Activities | Outputs | Short-Term Outcomes | Long-Term Outcomes | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $[funding] | [Activity 1] | [X] served | [X]% gain in [skill] | [X]% sustain [change] | [Community change] |
| [Staff] | [Activity 2] | [X] sessions | [X]% report [behavior] | [X]% achieve [goal] | |
| [Partners] | [Activity 3] | [X] referrals | [X]% access [resource] | [System change] | |
| [Space] | [Activity 4] | [X] hours | | | |

=== ASSUMPTIONS ===

What must be true for the logic model to work:
- Assumption 1: [e.g., "Target population will engage with services when offered"]
- Assumption 2: [e.g., "Funding will be sustained for the full grant period"]
- Assumption 3: [e.g., "Partner organizations will fulfill their commitments"]
- Assumption 4: [e.g., "Evidence-based curriculum will be effective with this population"]

Name these explicitly. Funders appreciate self-awareness about risks.

=== EXTERNAL FACTORS ===

What's outside your control that could affect results:
- Economic conditions
- Policy changes
- Community events
- Pandemic or emergency
- Competing programs

=== USING THE LOGIC MODEL ===

**In the grant proposal:**
Include as a one-page visual (usually in the appendix). Reference it in the Methods and Evaluation sections.

**For program management:**
Use it to check: are we doing the activities? Are we tracking the outputs? Are we measuring the outcomes?

**For evaluation:**
Each outcome becomes a measurable indicator. The logic model IS your evaluation framework.
