Webinar Description:

In this day and age, there is no reason a grown human being such as yourself should be intimidated by logic models. After all, it’s just taking your amazing, big-fat-audacious vision and framing it so you can make it happen. Why are you scared of that?

In this session, Amanda, a self-proclaimed logic model evangelist, will show you how logic models work, how you can make your own logic model, and how you can incorporate them into your writing. You will learn how to connect the dots between inputs and impact, the basis of your needs and sustainability statements, and how to build a budget – all from the magic of a logic model. While Amanda hopes you will become a logic model convert, she understands no everyone geeks out over plans like she does. So, at the very least, she hopes you are scared of logic models anymore and that you can use a logic moel to write stronger grant proposals and wow your funders.
