Template Instructions

Problem Statement: Your Problem Statement should briefly explain why there is a need for an intervention and answers the question, “What problem are we working to solve?” Include “who, what, why, where, and when” in your statement.

Goal Statement: This should reflect your three-year grant period. The Goal Statement should articulate the overall purpose of your project, not a summary of what you are going to do.

INPUTS: These are the resources you will need to for a successful project. They may include VISTA member(s), staff resources, financial resources, space, technology, etc.

ACTIVITIES/INTERVENTIONS: These are the actions that are needed to implement your project—what you will do with project resources in order to achieve project outcomes and, ultimately, your goal. Common activities include developing products, workshops, meetings, management systems.

OUTPUTS: Outputs are the measurable, tangible, and direct products or results of project activities. The outputs don’t say anything qualitative about the product, only quantitative. For example: # of focus groups held, # of new clients, # of partnerships, # of volunteers, # of volunteer hours.

OUTCOMES (Evidence of Change): Outcomes express the results that your project intends to achieve if implemented as planned. Outcomes are the changes that occur or the difference that is made for individuals, groups, families, organizations, systems, or communities during or after the project. Outcomes answer the questions: “What difference does the project make? What does success look like?” They reflect the core achievements you hope for your project.

Short-term: What changes in knowledge, skills, attitudes, and opinions do you expect to occur either immediately or in the near future? Short-term outcomes are those that are the most direct result of a project’s activities and outputs. They are typically not ends in themselves, but are necessary steps toward desired ends (intermediate or long-term outcomes or goals). Examples: increase knowledge of healthy food choices and nutrition, increased volunteer recruitment and retention.

Intermediate: What changes in participants’ behavior or action do we anticipate? Intermediate outcomes are those outcomes that link a project’s short-term outcomes to long-term outcomes. Examples: improved health, increased academic engagement.

Evidence for your intervention: What research-based evidence do you have that your activities/interventions will work?
