Love Jar CP | Application Preview
Love Jar CP is applying for a government grant to fund the purchase of supplies needed for various care packages, which will include items like blankets, socks, candles, and more. The grant will also help cover bulk box purchases and advertising expenses.
In the next five years, the business aims to expand its offerings from basic "Get well soon" packages to a wider variety that includes birthday, new mom, honeymoon, bachelorette, graduation, "I miss you," and congratulations care packages.
The justification for funding highlights the importance of these care packages in today's challenging times. With widespread struggles and a declining sense of community, the packages are intended to provide comfort and support. They aim to serve a similar purpose as the care packages sent to soldiers, but for various life events and occasions.
Love Jar CP recognizes competition from companies like Spoonful of Comfort but sees a competitive advantage in not including food items, which can pose health risks and complicate shipping logistics. By keeping shipping costs low and offering a diverse range of non-food items, Love Jar CP plans to make its care packages both appealing and affordable.

Funding Usage
If I am approved for the grant I plan to buy all supplies in bulk needed for the different care packages Including (blankets, socks, candles, mugs, sleep mask, notebooks, pens, bath bombs, manicure sets etc.) I would also need to buy the boxes in bulk as well as pay for different methods of advertisement.

Business Plan
In the next five years I plan to offer different types of care packages. Initially I will start off with regular care packages (Get well soon) but I plan to add birthday, new mom, honeymoon, bachelorette, graduation, I miss you and congratulations care packages as well. I believe that these care packages are needed all around the world. The times that we are living in are not as promising as they once were. People are dying younger and younger, new mom's do not have the village that once was, some seniors are not able attend class in person nor go to prom due to recent events. The packages will bring light and love which is definitely needed these days. Soldiers receive care packages with their favorites snacks and things that remind them of home, which I'm sure brightens up their day. I believe that the same thing can be done for different occasions and have the same affect.

Self Identified Competition
Spoonful of comfort Most of Spoonful of comfort packages have a food items in them, which can be a liability if someone gets sick. (I won't be shipping out food items) Also I imagine that there's a certain time frame that the food has to be delivered which could make the cost of shipping higher as well. (I plan to keep my shipping cost affordable) I plan to add different items to my boxes and I also plan to keep my pricing lower as well.
