CONTEXT Program concept: [PROGRAM CONCEPT] Participants and barriers: [PARTICIPANT CONTEXT] Available resources: [RESOURCES] Grant period and funder priorities: [GRANT PARAMETERS] OBJECTIVE Create a credible logic model that staff can use for both grant writing and program implementation. INSTRUCTIONS Map inputs to activities, direct outputs, short-term outcomes, and longer-term intended outcomes. Explain the reasoning connecting each stage. Distinguish what the organization controls from what it can only influence. Identify external conditions, implementation risks, and participant-access barriers. Recommend a small set of measurable indicators with definitions, collection methods, owners, and collection frequency. Treat any proposed target as provisional unless supplied evidence supports it. Keep measurement proportionate to staffing and participant burden. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide a logic-model table, a plain-language theory-of-change paragraph, an indicator table, and three design questions to resolve before submission. QUALITY CHECK Avoid fabricated statistics or baseline values. Flag assumptions and avoid presenting attendance, satisfaction, or service volume as proof of lasting impact.
