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

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

Editor's Notes

  • #7 This is talking about inputs, when you use Logic Model terminology. If you don’t achieve this level of buy-in, the grant is not meant to happen, IMHO.
  • #8 The “loneliness of the grant writer” needing to push colleagues to really explain what seems obvious to them.
  • #10 Things – 1 & 2 are inputs. Clearer definition of people, and what works best to make sure you have covered all bases. Things – stuff you need to work with Activities and how they will be done. Outputs – can be PD sessions for teachers, referrals to counseling, additional counseling,
  • #12 Evaluation. Double check for reality – is this for real?
