Logic Model Worksheet Template

What is the logic model worksheet form template?

Funders and boards often ask for a logic model: a simple map from what a programme puts in, to what it does, to what it produces, to the change it makes. Writing one is useful in itself, because it shows where a programme's thinking is solid and where it relies on assumptions.

This worksheet walks through the model in order. The first page sets out the organisation, programme, purpose, problem statement, target population and long-term goal. The second records inputs, activities and outputs. The third lists short-, medium- and long-term outcomes, the indicators for each, data sources and collection frequency. The fourth captures assumptions, external factors, risks and how confident you are in the evidence.

Each worksheet is saved as a PDF in your FileIt vault, ready to attach to a grant application or bring to a board meeting.

The logic model worksheet form, page by page

1 Programme & problem

The author records the organisation, programme name and their name, and what the logic model is for — planning, a grant application or report, an evaluation or a board review. An optional field names the funder, if there is one. The problem statement, target population and long-term goal each have help text.

2 Inputs, activities & outputs

Three boxes cover the left side of the model: inputs such as staff, volunteers, money and partners; activities the programme carries out; and outputs — the direct, countable products such as sessions held and people served.

3 Outcomes & indicators

Short-term outcomes cover changes in knowledge and skills, medium-term outcomes changes in behaviour, and long-term outcomes changes in condition. "Indicators" asks how you'll know each outcome has happened, with an outcome-indicator-target prompt. The author ticks data sources and chooses how often data will be collected.

4 Assumptions & context

The last page records assumptions, external factors and risks, and a 1-5 scale asks how confident the team is in the evidence linking activities to outcomes. A diagram can be uploaded, and a next review date sets when the model will be revisited.

Make the template yours

• Rename outcomes to match a funder's terms, such as results or impacts
• Add a row-by-row outcomes grid if your funder uses a fixed template
• Remove long-term outcomes for short projects
• Add a budget link or cost per participant field
• File each programme's worksheet into its own folder
• Send personal links to programme managers across your organisation

Tips for a better logic model worksheet form

• Work backwards from the long-term goal if you get stuck on activities
• Keep outputs and outcomes separate — counting sessions isn't the same as change
• Choose a few indicators you can actually collect
• Write assumptions down; they're often what an evaluation tests
• Revisit the model once a year or when the programme changes
