Inputs . . . Outputs . . . Outcomes . . . Goals . . . Logic Models: Everywhere you turn, grantseekers are talking about them while 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?

This fast-paced session will give you the tools and concepts you need to build a solid Logic Model Process that not only supports successful grantseeking, but also the success of your program.

You'll discover:

  • A real-life "roadmap" to the key elements of a Logic Model … and how they fit together
  • How grantmakers use a “Logic Model” mindset to review your grant proposal
  • Logic Models in Action: Samples from a variety of community organizations

You’ll also receive an introduction to GrantsMagic U’s unique “Change Mapping” process – a simple and very powerful way to develop a high-level understanding of your organization’s unique contribution to the world – and what it will take to make it happen.
