Proposal Development Guidelines for Signature Grantee Semi-Finalists The Covenant Foundation Inside this Presentation: I. Project Logic Model II. Full Proposal Budget Project Logic Model Goals of this Presentation • Introduce the concept of a project logic model and its basic components • Describe the components of a welldesigned project plan • Present a model that is aligned with The Covenant Foundation grant proposals What is a Logic Model? A logic model... • is a framework for presenting a streamlined picture of a program, initiative, or intervention • shows evidence of 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: • bring detail to broad goals • make underlying beliefs explicit about how and why a program is expected to work • help to identify gaps in program logic that might hinder success • build understanding and promote consensus about what a program is • summarize complex projects, enabling effective communication with stakeholders, funders, and other audiences Logic Model: Project Design Inputs Activities Planned Work Outputs Outcomes (Short and Long Term) Intended Results Planned Work: Inputs Inputs Activities Outputs Outcomes (Short and Long Term) Definition: the “resources” and “capital” marshalled toward project implementation, e.g.: • staff and volunteers • materials • time • existing organizations • facilities • potential collaborating partners • supplies • funding • existing organizational or interpersonal networks Planned Work: Activities Inputs Activities Outputs Outcomes (Short and Long Term) Definition: the “services” and “actions” of your project, e.g.: • • • • • classes events training/professional development mentoring curriculum development Intended Results: Outputs Inputs Activities Outputs Outcomes (Short and Long Term) Definition: the quantifiable amount of project activities, e.g.: • • • • • number of classes, workshops, etc. participation rates hours of services provided amount of materials produced and distributed web and social media outputs: website visitors, blog posts or comments, Facebook activity, “retweets,” etc. Intended Results: Outcomes Inputs Activities Outputs Outcomes (Short and Long Term) Definition: the resulting benefits for your target population(s), such as changes in: Skills • skills Knowledge • knowledge • behavior Behaviors • attitudes Attitudes Head Heart Hands S.M.A.R.T. Outcomes Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Timed Logic Model: Project Design Inputs Activities Planned Work Outputs Outcomes (Short and Long Term) Intended Results Logic Model: Project 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. Show evidence of need. • Context: The factors in the external environment, both barriers and supports, that will impact your ability to address the need. • Assumptions: Beliefs about the need or situation; the behavior, motivations, and learning styles of the target population; the external and internal environments; and what the project can reasonably achieve. Assumptions explain why you believe your project will succeed. • 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.
