Our Theory of Change

May 2025

What is a Theory of Change? It is essentially a comprehensive description and illustration of how and why a desired change is expected to happen in a particular context. It is focused in particular on mapping out or “filling in” what has been described as the “missing middle” between what a program or change initiative does (its activities or interventions) and how these lead to desired goals being achieved. It does this by first identifying the desired long-term goals and then works back from these to identify all the conditions (outcomes) that must be in place (and how these related to one another causally) for the goals to occur.

During the development phase of Regenerative Futures Fund we worked together on our Theory of Change.

We have a detailed version and more simplified version, both below:
