TOCO Beta - Limited Access Click Here

Theory of Change Online was initially funded by the Hewlett Foundation in 2004 - 2006.  During that time the tool was designed and developed.

In 2007 some features were added.

2008 is for initial testing.

Please return to this page for information on how to participate in beta testing.

Theory of Change Online

The Theory of Change Online Suite is a set of tools to aid social change initiatives in creating, sharing and using their theories.  The Suite will provide in depth tutorials, examples, and a highly graphical environment for building, editing, and soliciting feedback on a Theory of Change.  TOC Online will finally make it possible to view the many layers of a theory in a much more intuitive and less overwhelming fashion. 

Theory of Change Online will be available FREE from this website and our Theory of Change site, www.theoryofchange.org.  Custom design, training and review will be available from ActKnowledge at affordable costs depending on the size of the organization.

GET INOLVED!

Customize the Theory of Change Suite for your foundation and/or grantees: foundations asking their grantees to create a Theory of Change as part of the normal funding and review cycle may wish to customize both the  instructional content and the reports/views/outputs of this tool to fit a particular field or comprehensive initiative.

Participate in User-Group testing: make sure the tool works for you!  We are seeking a limited number of organizations to be the first users of this tool.  Participants will receive reduced-rate expert training and ongoing advice in the development and use of their theory from ActKnowledge

Suggest and support specific features of interest to you: let us know what features are needed for you to get the most out of Theory of Change. 

Participate in a community dedicated to results-based planning and evaluation:  We will be using this tool and the websites at www.theoryofchange.org and www.innonet.org to gather data on the effectiveness of theory of change and similar methods and to  host discussions with experts in the field.
