Logic Model Toolkit

Logic modeling has been a key component of defining our Foundation grantmaking priorities and activities. The Foundations believes that logic models, particularly the process of creating the models, are helpful tools for organizations to clearly articulate their work, refine their efforts and focus their energies. We have found this type of strategic exercise helpful in planning our activities, communicating what we set to do and as a great way to stay accountable to our philanthropic goals.

As part of our commitment to better communicate the Foundation's work and foster transparency within our community, KDK-Harman has developed this toolkit to share a variety of resources we have found helpful in developing and refining our own logic models. We always love learning of new resources, so feel free to share resources you find useful!
