Program Logic Model Builder
Build rigorous program logic models and outcome measurement frameworks
What You Can Do
You can develop comprehensive program logic models that articulate your theory of change, design outcome measurement frameworks that track program performance, and create evaluation strategies that satisfy funder requirements. This skill helps you translate program logic into grant narratives, annual reports, and stakeholder communications that demonstrate measurable impact.
Features
Systematically document inputs, activities, outputs, short-term outcomes, and long-term outcomes with causal relationship flows
Create testable hypotheses about how and why your program produces intended results
Design SMART metrics and data collection methods aligned to each outcome level
Structure logic models to match common grant requirements and impact reporting standards
Generate evaluation strategies that specify data sources, collection methods, and analysis approaches
Transform logic model components into compelling grant narratives and annual reports
Compare existing program logic against intended outcomes to identify gaps and improvement opportunities
Facilitate logic model development across multiple team members and board perspectives
Example Output
Logic Model Output:
INPUTS: 2 FTE case managers, $150K annual budget, partnerships with 3 community organizations
ACTIVITIES: Weekly peer support groups, job skills training (40 hours), employer mentorship matching
OUTPUTS: 60 participants served, 48 job interviews conducted, 12 peer support groups delivered
SHORT-TERM OUTCOMES: Participants increase job readiness skills (80% pass assessments), gain professional network (85% identify mentor)
LONG-TERM OUTCOMES: 60% job placement rate at 90 days, sustained employment at 12 months, $8,000 average wage increase
Measurement Framework Example: Outcome: 60% job placement | Data Source: employment records | Method: post-placement survey at 30/60/90 days | Owner: Case Manager
