GRANTS WORKSHOP: 1:00 pm–4:00 pmTHE LOGIC BEHIND THE LOGIC MODEL: Essential Tools for a Rock-Solid Evaluation Plan
Inputs . . . Outputs . . . Outcomes . . . Goals . . . Logic Models: Everywhere you turn, grantseekers are talking about them. And more and more funders—private and public alike—are requiring them as part of your grant application package. But what is a "Logic Model," anyway? How does it work? What are the key elements, how do they fit together, and—most important—how can knowing how to construct a solid, makes-sense Logic Model support not only more successful grantseeking, but the success of your program itself?
In this workshop, we will strip back the myths and mysteries surrounding the Logic Model Process and give you the tools and concepts you need to put the Logic Model to work for you. You'll discover:
• A new, powerful way of looking at the underlying framework of your program or project plan• A no-jargon, easy-to-remember, real-life "roadmap" to the key elements of a Logic Model and how they fit together• How to use the Logic Model process to create knock-their-socks-off outcome statements and evaluation plans that funders will love• The Logic Model as a key tool for more successful, high-quality program management• The Logic Model in action: Samples from a variety of community organizations
