Home My WebLink AboutCity of Georgetown FY2021-22 Logic Model TemplateCITY OF GEORGETOWN FY2021-22 LOGIC MODEL TEMPLATE Guidelines for Completing the Program Logic Model Attachment A Logic Model is a valuable tool for organizational planning, implementation, funding and quality improvement. The model demonstrates to funders that you have purposefully identified what your program will do, what it hopes to achieve, and what resources you will need to accomplish your work. This outline is intended to guide you in using the City Of Georgetown Logic Model Template. The seven components included in the model are outlined below in the order they should be considered when planning a program. Logic Model Components Goal(s): Serve as a frame for all elements of the logic model that follow. They include intended results of the program and specify the target population you intend to serve. Program Planned Work Intended Result Performance Measures: The process of deciding what to evaluate, collecting information, analyzing that information and reporting it. Who is collecting the data, at what intervals, and shared with whom? How do you record the effectiveness of your program? Writing Your Logic Model Goal(s): Use a one-sentence overview of what the program is designed to accomplish and specify the target population you intend to serve. Target Population: The people you serve. Identify enough information to help the grant reader understand who will benefit from your program. Characteristics: Age range, gender, ethnicity, educational level, or income level. Communities served: Cities, zip codes, or county. Make sure it falls within the funding parameters. Inputs are resources, or investments needed by the program to provide services. Common types of resources include: Human: full and part-time staff, consultants, volunteers. Financial: grants or contributions. Space: Office and other facilities or technology, equipment and materials. Activities are the action steps that are needed to implement your program – what you will do with the program resources in order to achieve program outcomes and ultimately, your goal(s). Activities are: Providing services (e.g., education and training) and developing products (e.g., educational curricula). Who is the key person(s) responsible to achieve the objectives and can it be done on time? Each activity needs a completion date. Outputs are measurable, tangible, and direct products or results of program activities. Outputs lead to the desired outcomes – benefits for participants, families or communities – but are not themselves the changes you expect the program to produce. They do help you assess how well you are implementing the program. Examples of program outputs include numbers and descriptions of: # individuals who completed training programs, # hours of service provided, # focus groups held, # of classes offered, # units of service, and # service hours provided. Outcomes express the results that your program intends to achieve if implemented as planned. Outcomes are the changes that occur or the difference that is made for individuals, groups, families or organizations. Outcomes answer the questions: “What difference does the program make? What does success look like?” They reflect the core achievements you hope for your program. Organizations with diverse missions and services share common categories of outcomes, because outcomes are about change: changes in learning, changes in action, or changes in condition. Changes in learning: (e.g., new knowledge, increased skills, and changed attitudes). Changes in action: (e.g., modified behavior or practice, changed decisions). Changes in condition: Human (e.g., from oppression to freedom; from malnourishment to food security), Economic (e.g., from unemployment to employed), Civic (e.g., from disenfranchised to empowered, and Environmental (e.g., from polluted to clean). Performance Measures is the process of deciding what to evaluate, collecting information, analyzing that information and reporting it. Who is collecting and reviewing the data, at what intervals and shared with whom? How you record the quality and effectiveness of your program. Examples: attendance records, number of attendees, pre-test to post-test results and surveys. CITY OF GEORGETOWN FY2021-22 LOGIC MODEL Program Logic Model Example and Instructions The completed logic model below provides an example from which you can pattern your proposed Program’s Logic Model. We have attached the Logic Model template with this example for you to complete and submit with your Grant Application. The time period for the grant is 12 months. Complete at least one goal for your Program. If you have more than one goal, please complete the second goal. The expected outcomes should reflect clear, reasonable and measurable statements. After you have completed the Program Logic Model, you are ready to complete the Grant Application SECTION E: Question 11. EVALUATION- PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL by entering the information from your Logic Model into the EVALUATION Table: Program goal(s), target population description, numbers to be served, outcomes, and performance measures. When you have completed your Logic Model, print out the page(s) and scan to a pdf.file. The file name should begin with your organization’s name followed by a hyphen and identified as: “Org Name-Staff & Logic Model,” and submitted with your Application.
