Since late 2018, the Community Investment Framework has guided our grant making investment. The Framework identifies five wellbeing areas and fourteen associated outcome statements.
Our application process encourages you to think about whether your idea contributes towards achieving one (or multiple) of these outcomes. This involves asking questions which are informed by a ‘logic model’ methodology.
Using a Logic Model
A Logic Model sets out what a project will do, how it will do it and what it will achieve. It describes a roadmap of the steps that need to occur for a project to meet its desired outcomes.
We encourage you to think through:
- The need or opportunity (situation);
- What you want to achieve through your grant and how this connects to the Community Investment Framework (outcome);
- What resources you need to do this (inputs);
- How you will do this (activities and partnerships); and
- The results you expect to see (outputs).
