What does your business do?

Artisan soap and bath products founded by a teen benefiting anti-bullying prevention.

How would you use the grant money?

We would like to use the grant money to add a 'book and a bath' subscription box focused on encouraging reading within teens/young adults, aged 14 to 18 (high school), with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit literacy programs.

What would the grant enable you to do that you can't now?

The grant money would allow us to buy supplies in bulk reducing the cost to our customers. We would be able to supply the first two, maybe even three, subscription boxes, creating a sustainable program after that.

If Idea Cafe's Grant helps your biz reach greater success, how will you "pay it forward" to help others in some way?

KeKe Soaps was founded by a teen that was bullied most of her traditional school time and she believes in giving back. Currently, our bath products help support anti-bullying prevention through supporting the National bullying Prevention Center. With the subscription box program, we would like to offer a portion of proceeds to go to literacy programs where kids/teens/young adults, who might otherwise not be able to borrow books from a library or purchase a book, can.
