What Is a Logic Model?
A logic Model, or Logical Framework Matrix 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.

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.

What’s Included?
 Problem Statement
 Project goal
 Objectives/SpecificAims
 Inputs/Activities
 Outputs/Outcomes (short- and long-term)
 Measurements/Means ofVerification
 Rationales/Assumptions

Logic Models help the Team Think From
a Different Perspective
 People – a grant is (virtually) always a team
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 work with?
 Buy-in when team is committed and has
committed their “things”
 If not, you probably won't get the grant

Logic Models = Good Project Planning
 How to convey the necessity of a project
approach to folks who 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

Key Project Questions
 Who is the leadership? (Is it you?) Is it
consultative and collaborative?
 What 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?
 How many people will be impacted?

More Project Planning Questions
 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 grant
correctly outlines the project plan
