Charity’s Guide to the Theory of Change

The Theory of Change is a transformative model that clarifies how your charity’s activities lead to meaningful outcomes. But what is the Theory of Change, and how can it help your charity? Whether you’re a micro or national sized charity, this powerful tool will support you in clarifying and focusing your charity’s goals and impact.
