Why should you use the logic model? How will it help you?

The logic model:

• Brings detail to broad goals and helps in planning, evaluation, implementation, and communications.
• Helps to identify gaps in our program logic and clarifies assumptions so success may be more likely.
• Builds understanding and promotes consensus about what the program is and how it will work. Builds buy-in and teamwork.
• Makes underlying beliefs explicit.
• Helps to clarify what is appropriate to evaluate, and when, so that evaluation resources are used wisely.
• Summarizes complex programs to communicate with stakeholders, funders, audiences.
• Enables effective competition for resources. (Many funders request logic models in their grant requests).
