The Logic Behind the Logic Model: Essential Tools for a Rock-Solid Evaluation Plan
Inputs… Outputs… Outcomes… Goals… Logic Models: Everywhere you turn, grantseekers are talking about them. And more and more funders – private and public alike – are requiring them as part of your grant application package.
But what is a “Logic Model,” anyway? How does it work? What are the key elements, how do they fit together, and – most important – how can knowing how to construct a solid, makes-sense Logic Model support not only more successful grantseeking, but the success of your program itself?
In this workshop, the Alliance will strip back the myths and mysteries surrounding the Logic Model Process and give you the tools and concepts you need to put the Logic Model to work for you. You’ll discover:
- A new, powerful way of looking at the underlying framework of your program or project plan
- A no-jargon, easy-to-remember, real-life “roadmap” to the key elements of a Logic Model and how they fit together
- How to use the Logic Model process to create knock-their-socks-off outcome statements and evaluation plans that funders will love
- The Logic Model as a key tool for more successful, high-quality program management
- The Logic Model in action: Samples from a variety of community organizations

Building Blocks for a Winning Proposal Budget
Worthy grant proposals often don’t make it to the final cut because the proposal budget is poorly put together. However, crafting a budget that clearly and accurately reflects all the resources your program needs is not a complex or mysterious process!
In this workshop you’ll learn the principles of mission-driven budgeting, and practice applying those principles to a real-life scenario as you build a detailed proposal budget, step by step. You’ll learn how grantmakers evaluate budgets – and what your budget says about your organization. And you’ll work with simple but powerful tools to help you organize your financial information in the clearest, most powerful way.
Join the Alliance at this workshop and you will:
- Understand the importance of a sound, detailed, mission-driven budget as both a key proposal component and a planning and management tool
- Learn how the concept of “total-value budgeting” supports your project planning and management – and simplifies the process of building a proposal budget
- Learn what you need to know about “in-kind,” match, valuing volunteer time, indirect or administrative costs, and much more.
- Learn the easy-to-follow, step-by-step process guaranteed to result in an unbeatable proposal budget
- Work with – and take home – planning tools that will guide you through the process start to finish – guaranteed!
