This guidebook gives step by step instructions on how to develop a Progressive Outcomes Scale Logic Model (POSLM), which is a culturally responsive logic model, uplifting community voice in the development process of your logic model. It is designed for grassroot nonprofits and human service professionals looking to measure social impact and frame their work in marginalized communities from a point of justice and equity; thereby moving away from a "by-the-numbers" approach to sharing outcomes; and instead build out a narrative of impact to help demonstrate how people are becoming better off. The ability to do this starts in the way organizations frame and evaluate programs.

The guidebook also provides measurable problems and outcome examples that can be used to assess progress, communicate with stakeholders, or to identify areas of improvement. It could also be used to spark brainstorming discussions for other activities your organization may want to pursue.

The guidebook also describes how the POSLM can be used to help link funding dollars to outcomes. Thank you for your support of the POSLM!
