"So I am thinking, 'How can we grow this business?', even as I am thinking about how the hell I can avoid being arrested."

Follow our clearly defined steps for designing a project and submitting a funding application in Module 6 of the MediaDev Fundraising Guide:
Creating a logframe or Theory of Change
-
This should capture your core idea and enable you to ensure that all partners are on the same page and share the same vision.
-
It is a good way of rallying people around an idea and ensuring that the main building blocks of the proposal – narrative, M&E plan and budget – can be developed in parallel.
-
You may not be able to produce the whole logframe or ToC at this stage but the key elements – inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes – should be mapped out.
