Connect your daily work to the lasting change you want to see.

Bring your program’s purpose, activities, and intended results together with IDEA’s customizable Theory of Change template. This one-page planning tool provides a clear visual framework for mapping Inputs, Activities, Outputs, Outcomes, and Impact, with dedicated space to identify the Assumptions and Risks that could influence success.

Use it to organize a new project, clarify an existing program, or guide a planning conversation with your team. Think through how the resources you invest support the activities you undertake—and how those activities are expected to contribute to meaningful change.

A practical resource for nonprofit leaders, ministry teams, churches, and community-development organizations, this template can support planning for agricultural development, food security, and other mission-driven initiatives. Bring it into team workshops, use it to organize your thinking before drafting a proposal, or share your completed framework with partners and supporters.

What’s included: One IDEA-branded, single-page PDF with fillable text fields for your program information, a connected five-phase layout, and dedicated assumptions and risks sections.

Start with a clear framework. Build a more intentional program.
