Preliminary Budget

Our first attempt at making a budget yielded an estimated cost of almost $1,000 per event. So after some reflection, soul searching, and cost cutting we have developed a second budget which you can read by clicking on "Read more":


Second attempt:

1. Exhibition Kitchen - $275 every time
2. Food - $0- $250
• Whole Foods may be able to provide the food for free depending on how our organization is structured. If we have a 501(c)3 then, they will donate all of the food, as long as we apply at least 2 months in advance. 
• The chefs also sometimes donate the food, if they receive something in return
• Otherwise we're budgeting $10 per child per event, at a maximum of 25 children per event provided through Dining Services. 
3. Transportation
• 6 T rides per person per month (excluding Anastasia who rides her bike everywhere)
• Total = $20.40 per month (Leila and Jahan, Anna will be in Hong Kong for Co-Op)
• Children will be transported to NEU by DREAM at no cost to Recipe for Success
4. PR
• Done through NU PR
• $0
5. Legal assistance
• Covered by NU Risk Management Department
• $0
6. Chefs
• Free from Chartwells
• Outside chefs
• Free in exchange for good publicity
• ~$1,500 per chef per event
7. Miscellaneous
• Paper, pens, printing
• 10 c on campus
• Possible donations from VistaPrint
• Letterhead, envelopes, business cards, etc.

Total: $555.40

Anastasia made a really pretty chart that organizes everything really clearly!
