BUDGET
For this proposal we request $60,000, this will impact 4000
people, which is $15 per person, we impact. This will be used mostly
for the 5k event we are going to do on November 8th. Most of the staff
for the race is going to be volunteers but we will pay the company Life
in Color to coordinate everything that has to do with the run. At the
end of the race we will have a DJ and provide protein bars and
beverages. Another part of the budget is staffing for our event and also
the instructor for our self-defense class held at the Genesis shelter.
Below is the detailed budget of our proposal.

Explanation of Budget
As you can see half of the budget $30,900 is going to be focused
on the Marathon but this is where we are going to get our money back
and make some profit. Our personnel expenses are going to be
$21,010, we have saved money in this section because instead of
hiring work staff for the run we decided to have volunteers from the
shelter to help us out with the event. We also decided to pay for a
background check company to check the background of the volunteers
and staff because of safety for the abused families we take care of. For
the setup and equipment expense we have a set allowance of $5000
for any cost that we might incur during the time frame of this proposal.
Our marketing and advertising expense is $3090; this will provide us
with the posters and flyers that we will be passing out at the schools

and in the local community. Another part of the advertising expense is

the radio and newspaper ads, this will help us get the word out about
the event and have more people show up.

The total time frame for this will be 12 months and in November
we will host the 5K. To promote the marathon we will be putting flyers
and giving out handouts to all the schools, also we will have ads in the
Dallas local news and radio stations. Since we will have volunteers
from the shelter to help with the run this will save money. The paid
personnel for the event will be the treasurer, which will be in control of
revenue that we receive from t-shirt and ticket sales, and the
marketing team that will coordinate with the Life in Color staff. We will
also have six hydration stations in different locations to accommodate
the participants.
