Project Smile Budget

We have started a program this semester that we will continue next year where we solicit local businesses to sponsor our events. For example, right before finals Entropy/Culinart gave us 150 dollars worth of candy to hand out to people on our midnight library runs.

As a new organization, in order to prove stability, it is recommended that you do not receive more than $1,000 during their first fiscal year.”

This is the funding for the main events we will do throughout the year. We will have one event each month, but the exact ordering of them is TBD. Below is a short description and cost breakdown for each of our planned events. Cookie for A Smile: We hand out free oreos and milk in exchange for people writing down what them makes them happy. We assembly all the happiness cards into one or more posters to show off what makes Carnegie Mellon students happy. 4 x Oreos Boxes (260 oreos) = $60 5 x Milk (1 gallon) = $15 5 x Cups 100 paper cups = $25 4 x Construction Paper (100 sheets)= $40 Total event cost = $140 Love Letters: In this event we set up a station where people can stop by and write a love letter to themselves. It allows them to reflect on their good qualities and increases self-esteem. 5 x Stationary (50 sheets) = $45 3 x Pens (5 pack) = $12 Total Event Cost = $57 Pay-It-Forward-Flowers: In this event we hand out a bunch of flowers to strangers with notes attached telling the receiver to give the flower to another stranger. The hope is that the flowers circulate a lot and reach a large portion of the student body. This allows participants to experience the joy of both giving and receiving a nice gesture. 20 x 10 Roses = $200 Valentines Day Cards: In this event we hand out children's valentines day cards with personalize messages so no one feels unloved on Valentines Day. 10 x 20 Card Pack = $100 Week of Happiness: In this week we try to put on a different miniature event every day of the week to showcase our determination and commitment to happiness to the campus community Monday- Motivational Stickers 1 x sticker pack = $15 Tuesday- Free temporary tattoos 2 x Temporary Tattoo Booklet = $20 Wednesday- Bubble Wrap Pop 3 x 150 ft.
