YEAR TWO BUDGET NARRATIVE  
 
Supplies & Materials: $106,330 
Participant Supplies - $93,840 
Each site will be provided with a budget to provide necessary supplies for participants. These 
supplies may include, among other things, winter/summer survival supplies, food, and ice. Heat-
related deaths are a major concern for Maricopa County and people who use drugs, especially 
those using amphetamines, are at an increased risk of death in the summer. Shot in the Dark 
intends to purchase cooling towels, water bottles, sunscreen, and additional life-saving supplies 
for primary and secondary distribution to reduce the number of heat-related deaths this summer.  
Harm Reduction Kits - $3,690 
In an effort to reduce the spread of disease and decrease the potential of overall harm from using 
drugs and naloxone, each Shot in the Dark participant is provided with a harm reduction kit. This 
funding will be used to purchase bags and alcohol wipes that are distributed along with naloxone 
and other safe-use supplies. Shot in the Dark reaches approximately 19,200 participants annually 
and this portion of the funding will allow us to create 20,500 kits to accommodate a potential 
increase of 1,300 participants.

CONTRACT NO:  C-86-24-086-X-00 / PH NOI 230163                                     AMENDMENT NO:         1

Sharps Containers - $8,800 
Each site has a sharps container, which is safely disposed of when full. These funds will be used 
to purchase approximately 150 sharps containers. Additionally, 5,000 Individual sharps 
containers will be distributed to participants along with naloxone to provide participants with a 
safe method of disposal of naloxone supplies.  
Office/Administrative: $17,268 
Software - $590 
 
To organize events, Shot in the Dark will purchase a $30/month subscription to eventbrite.com 
and the cost of a yearly Adobe acrobat pro subscription for Shot in the Dark’s Community Liaison. 
 
Tax Prep - $500 
 
Professional tax services. 
 
Insurance - $16,178 
 
Insurance to meet county requirements. 
 
Outreach: $7,000 
Events - $1,000 
In an effort to expand visibility within the community, increase volunteer participation, and 
increase donations, Shot in the Dark will host and participate in community engagement events. 
This outreach might include setting up booths at local events to increase visibility and 
collaborating with other local organizations to spread awareness. These funds will also be used 
to host volunteer events, including covering the cost of printing and distributing educational 
flyers, procuring materials needed to set up booths, and covering the cost of volunteer travel to 
and from events.  
Shirts - $6,000 
As a method of expanding community visibility and encouraging volunteer participation and 
donations, Shot in the Dark will print and distribute 300 designed shirts.  
Volunteer Costs: $28,322 
Retention - $8,322 
As a completely volunteer-run organization, volunteer retention is critical. We would like to attract 
between 25 and 35 additional volunteers who can assist with running weekly harm reduction 
supply sites, creating safe drug use kits, and aid in the administrative tasks of running the 
organization. Volunteer incentives, including gift cards or gas cards will help to increase volunteer 
participation and decrease barriers to engagement. This portion of the budget will also provide 
the funds necessary to hold community gatherings that will increase involvement between 
volunteers and members of the community to increase the visibility of the organization to attract 
potential volunteers.

Training - $20,000 
Attending conferences or other education opportunities allows Shot in the Dark volunteers to 
learn from other harm-reduction organizations globally. Continuing education for volunteers is an 
important part of remaining on top of the most recent research and techniques being applied in 
harm reduction. In 2024, these funds will be used to cover the cost of 10 Shot in the Dark 
volunteers attending the International Drug Policy Alliance conference in Detroit.
