Deboe | Application Preview
Deboe's grant application outlines a plan to secure funding for a rental storage space to house equipment and supplies. The aim is to conduct local training sessions featuring PowerPoint presentations and to utilize a van for transportation to community centers in local neighborhoods, ultimately empowering the local communities.
The business strategy focuses on engaging youth through summer and after-school programs, as Deboe is committed to using their skills to contribute positively to the community. They highlight the urgent need for support, citing rising youth violence and a general feeling of hopelessness among young people. Deboe believes that by offering skills development in crafts and entrepreneurship, they can foster independence and resilience in local youth.
In terms of competition, Deboe acknowledges larger retailers like Macy's, Soft Surroundings, and JC Penney, but emphasizes a unique competitive advantage through strong local involvement. They plan to share their journey and community impact through local TV channels, showcasing products such as body butters, lip gloss, bath bombs, and candles. With over 20 years of volunteer experience in the Greater Hartford Community and United Way, Deboe’s application makes a compelling case for support based on deep community ties and a heartfelt commitment to making a difference.
