Logic models are program planning tools that define the inputs, outputs, outcomes of a program in order to explain the thinking behind program design and show how specific program activities lead to desired results.

Theory of Change is a specific type of methodology for planning, participation, and evaluation that is used in companies, philanthropy, not-for-profit and government sectors to promote social change. The theory of Change defines long-term goals and then maps backward to identify necessary preconditions.

The Rotary Club of Edmonton Northeast used the discussion around 2020 strategic planning to build this logic model and theory of change to help guide the activities of the club in the 2020 Rotary year and measure progress towards achieving the stated outcomes
