What is a Program Logic Model (PLM)?
A PLM is a continuous improvement model that looks at the impact a program or service is having on a client’s knowledge, behavior, or skills. The FCSS General Funding application uses this format to ensure our outcomes for residents lead to an improvement in their lives.
Resources
  • FCSSAA "What is Prevention" which outlines prevention and community development as it relates to the FCSS Program, including the different levels of prevention.
  • Program Advice Inventory Listing (PAIL) which provides detailed information about the eligibility or non-eligibility of programs. Use this tool to determine if your program qualifies for funding.
  • Consult the FCSS Measures Bank as all applications must be in alignment with a strategic direction, outcome, indicator, and measure question from the FCSS Measures Bank. Programs that target the general community, adults, or families would use the FCSS Measures Bank. Provincial Priority Measures are preferred.
  • Programs that target children and youth must use the FCSS Children and Youth Measures Bank as all applications must be in alignment with a strategic direction, outcome, indicator, and measure question from the FCSS Measures Bank. Provincial Priority Measures are preferred.
