Goals of this Presentation
• Introduce the concept of a logic model and show its use in program planning and grant proposals
• Describe the components of a well-designed program plan
• Present a model that is aligned with The Covenant Foundation grant proposals
![Page 3: Using Logic Models in Program Planning and Grant Proposals The Covenant Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551b7fcb550346942b8b4761/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is a Logic Model?
A logic model...
• is a simplified picture of a program, initiative, or intervention
• shows the logical relationships among the resources that are invested, the activities that take place, and the benefits or changes that result
• is the core of program planning, evaluation, program management and communications

Why Use a Logic Model?
A logic model can:
• Make underlying beliefs explicit• Build understanding and promote
consensus about what a program is and how it will work
• Bring detail to broad goals• Help to identify gaps in program logic
and clarify assumptions so success is more likely
• Summarize complex programs to communicate with stakeholders, funders, and other audiences

Program Theory• The Statement of Need: A clear succinct
statement that describes: the situation or challenge to be addressed; the cause of the situation; and those affected by it.
• Context: The factors in the external environment, both barriers and supports, that will impact your ability to address the targeted need in your institution/community.
• Assumptions: Beliefs about the situation; the behavior, motivations, and learning styles of the target population; the external and internal environments; and what the program can reasonably achieve.
• Other Models: Approaches to addressing the need that have been tried by you or others, and whose successes and/or failures you are now drawing upon for your planning.

Planned Work: Inputs
Inputs: the resources and contributions that go into the project, including: – staff and volunteers– time – facilities– supplies– funding – existing organizations– potential collaborating partners – existing organizational or interpersonal
networks
Outputs Outcomes(Short and Long Term)
Inputs Activities
![Page 8: Using Logic Models in Program Planning and Grant Proposals The Covenant Foundation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551b7fcb550346942b8b4761/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Planned Work: Activities
Activities: the specfice processes, events, and actions of the program: • Services: classes, events, workshops,
etc.• Materials: educational resources,
websites, curricula, etc.
Outputs Outcomes(Short and Long Term)
Inputs Activities

Intended Results: Outputs
Outputs: the direct results of program activities, including: number of classes taught, or workshops or
meetings held program participation rates hours of services provided amount of materials produced and distributed

Intended Results: Outcomes
Outcomes: the resulting benefits for individuals, families, groups, or communities “Head” - changes in skills/knowledge “Heart” - changes in attitudes/feelings “Hands” - changes in behaviors/choices
Outcomes should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant,
Timely
