At Second Sunrise Collective, the monthly rent and utilities cost will be provided by an

in-kind donation from the senior center. With an overall budget of $354,150.00, we will be

acquiring a myriad of talents to support our program. Personnel costs are broken into two

categories: full time staff, and part time/ per diem staff. With the basis of a 52-week contract, and

a 40 hour work week, each of our full time employees would be an important asset as to how the

program is facilitated. Additionally, we have incorporated FICA into our full time employees, at

a rate of 38% annually. Our full time employee budget equates to a total of $331,200.00.

The Program Manager, who will be overseeing and spending 100% of their time hiring

and supervising staff, will be earning a salary of $75,000.00 annually. This salary is calculated

based on an hourly wage of $36.25, and working a full 40 hour work week for 52 weeks.

Additionally, our LMHC will be making $65,000.00 annually, which is calculated on a

$31.25 hourly wage working a full 40 hour work week for 52 weeks. The Outreach Coordinator

will be earning a salary of $55,000.00. This salary is comprised of working a 40 hour work week

for 52 weeks, earning $26.45 hourly. The outreach coordinator will be critically involved in

enriching the community and educating them about our program.

For our part time/per diem staff we will be employing a total of 4 instructors; 2 of which

will be teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), and 2 technology instructors.

Because these positions are per diem, our ESOL teachers will be working 4 hours a week each,

at $50.00 an hour equating to $200.00 per week each instructor. Because there are two

instructors, this cost will total $400.00 per week for 2 instructors, and teaching a 12 week course

will cost $4,800.00. For the technology instructors, who will be working 4 hours each at $25.00

per hour, each instructor will earn $100.00 per week, with 2 instructors this will cost a total of

$200.00 per week. Running a 12 week course, this will cost $2,400.00. Second Sunrise

Collective will also be employing a college intern from one of the local universities. The intern

will be reporting back to the LMSW, who will be acting as the supervisor. The intern will be

working for-credit only, which will save us from an extra expense.

Second Sunshine Collective will be teaching participants both English and technology

skills. Non-personnel expenses for this training include laptops, tablets, textbooks, and ESOL

software. We will purchase 10 Dell Chromebook 3189 Education 2-in-1 laptops estimated at

$300 each (3 x $300 = $3,000) on Amazom.com; 25 Amazon Fire Tablets estimated at $50/ea

(50 x 25 = $1,250); 30 ESOL Software programs at $75/each (30 x $75 = $2,250), and 30

[NAME] textbooks (30 x $25 = $750) for a combined total of $7,250.00.

We have included travel expenses in our budget for our participants who may need access

to coming to the program. The charges equate to a total of $5,000.00 for (number X $2.75) metro

cards for the outreach coordinators and perspective clients who would be interested in coming to

the program. Additionally, the charges would cover any expenses that our outreach coordinator

would need to use, in order to reach the community in its entirety.
