Use the following format to complete logic model.
INPUTS
Resources dedicated to or consumed
by the program.
ACTIVITIES
What the program does with the inputs
to fulfill its mission.
OUTPUTS
The direct products of program
activities.
OUTCOME(S)
Benefits for participants during and
after program activities.
(initial, intermediate, long-term)
(logical “if-then” statements)
Questions to help you identify “inputs.”
List the processes and / or events that
are included in your program.
Service units - - activities provided, #
and type of participant, number of
processes or events.
Changes in knowledge, skills, capacity,
attitudes, behaviors, overall status or
condition – measurable.
Who provides your program? Where
does it take place? What must happen
in the environment in which the
program takes place? What
“technology / services” are needed to
operate the program? How is it
possible for you to provide your
services? Who will use your program?
Tests for Outcome Measures: (1) Is it reasonable to believe that the program can influence the outcome in a nontrivial way, even if it can’t control it? (2) Would
measurement of the outcome help identify program successes and help pinpoint and address shortcomings or problems? (3) Will all the program’s various
“publics” - - staff, volunteers, participants, collaborating organizations, funders, and the general community - - accept this as a valid outcome of the program?

INDICATORS
What will you measure in order to
know if you achieved the outcome(s).
Specific observable, measurable
characteristic or change that will
represent achievement of outcomes.
Specific statistic(s) the program will
calculate to summarize its level of
achievement (e.g., number and percent
attaining outcome).
Check list:
A) Is there at least one indicator for
each outcome?
B) Does each indicator measure
some important aspect of the
outcome that no other indicator
measures?
C) Does the indicator tell you what
change or characteristic you will
count?
D) Does each indicator identify the
statistic(s) that will summarize the
program’s performance on the
outcome? Will the statistic(s)
convey level of achievement
effectively?
DATA SOURCE
Where did you collect data for each
indicator?
