 Milwaukee Kitchen’s Budget/New Programs

We are asking for your support after 5 years of producing MK through unsolicited contributions combined with our labors of love. We are no longer able to underwrite the costs due to inflationary pressures. Our bottom line costs include equipment, food, software, promotion, guest thank yous, and utilities. We are also creating additional MK content for your enjoyment. This includes a profile page to learn more about our talented and generous guests. We are creating a digital archive of the recipes, cookbooks, trivia, and other fun facts from the episodes. Finally, we’ve already launched an open call platform where anyone can share a glimpse into their domestic routines through our Kitchen Minute series.

Your contribution to MK will be used to keep the program moving forward on all fronts. Thank you for taking the time to consider Milwaukee Kitchen’s future. Below is the anticipated allocation for money raised and we are happy to answer any questions. (This page is currently in progress, please return for updates.)
