undefined. BUDGET Some potential costs associated with the project: With the one-million-dollar budget, the funds will be going towards the start-up of a long-term program to ensure more kids and adults can get the resources that they may need to prevent secondhand smoking. With such a budget, there could be a higher chance of our project being seen by other collaborators willing to overlook our NGO and gain more publicity. A budget as high like this may help those taking over our NGO in the future as we move to other projects..
