How it works

01

Describe your program

Tell us about your program, grant initiative, or intervention. Include the problem you're solving, resources available, and intended outcomes — no specific format required.

02

AI builds the logic model

MyMap's AI maps your program into five columns — Inputs, Activities, Outputs, Outcomes, and Impact — with specific, realistic items in each stage.

03

Refine and export

Edit any column, add items, or ask AI to strengthen the causal chain. Export as PNG or PDF for grant proposals, board presentations, or program documentation.

About the framework

What is a Logic Model?

A logic model is a program planning and evaluation framework that visually maps the causal chain from resources invested to long-term impact. It answers the fundamental question: if we invest these resources and do these activities, what will change?

Logic models are a standard tool in nonprofit management, public health, education, and international development. They are frequently required in grant applications to demonstrate that a program's theory is sound and its outcomes are measurable.

The five columns

  • Inputs — resources invested (funding, staff, partnerships, materials)
  • Activities — what the program does (workshops, training, outreach, services)
  • Outputs — direct products of activities (people served, sessions held, materials distributed)
  • Outcomes — short- and medium-term changes (behavior change, skill improvement, awareness)
  • Impact — long-term systemic change (reduced poverty, improved health, policy change)

Why logic models work

  • Causal clarity — forces you to articulate how inputs lead to impact
  • Evaluation readiness — each column suggests specific indicators to measure
  • Stakeholder alignment — one visual that funders, staff, and partners all understand
  • Gap detection — missing links in the chain reveal program design weaknesses

MyMap's AI generates a structured logic model from a plain-language program description, mapping each stage with specific, realistic items so you can move from concept to proposal faster.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions

Is the logic model generator free?

Yes — you can create logic models for free without signing up. Free accounts get a generous number of AI messages per month. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited logic models and premium export options.

Can I customize the logic model after generation?

Absolutely. Every column and item is fully editable. You can add rows, reword outcomes, adjust the causal chain, or ask AI to expand any section with more specific indicators.

What's the difference between a logic model and a theory of change?

A logic model shows the linear chain from inputs to impact for a specific program. A theory of change is broader — it maps the underlying assumptions and conditions needed for change. Logic models are more practical for grant applications; theories of change are better for strategic planning.

Can I use this for grant proposals?

Yes. Logic models are a standard requirement in grant applications from funders like NSF, NIH, USAID, and most private foundations. The AI generates a clean, professional framework you can include directly in your proposal.

What programs work well with logic models?

Logic models are ideal for nonprofit programs, public health interventions, educational initiatives, community development projects, and any program where you need to show a clear path from resources invested to measurable impact.
