“We had two fundraisers this year: 1. House party where the donors raised 6,000 and initiated a monthly recurring donation program called "iddealist. 2. Collaboration with the florida marlins giving our members an incredible opportunity to work the field pre-game, be on the jumbotron, see a game, and raised over 10,000. We received our largest private label order of 5,000 candles and worked on fulfillment as we were given the weekly deliverables. In 2022, we launched our virtual job training classes. Our 18 artisans participated in this 10-week virtual program in partnership with remarkable disability services. In 2023 we will offer ojt (on the job training) to outside participants (starting with 3), also with i/dd in partnership with autism after 21 organization. They will work at our coral springs facility with job coaches and will participate in the virtual training for a fee. In addition to job training, we have been able to provide job coaching services for those artisans that are able to work outside of scentsability candles. We currently have 5 of our artisans working in other jobs besides their work at scentsability candles. We provide services such as advocacy, workplace social skills, assistance with transportation and goal-setting. Our google rating is 5 star - both for products and experiences. In mid-2022, we returned to in person selling events and have participated in 12 events to date, with 8 more scheduled during the holiday season. These events give our artisans experiences such as in person selling, packaging, credit card processing, pos data entry and socialization in the workplace and increase candle sales. We were able to travel to the national candle association's annual convention in new orleans and secured our continuing donations of raw materials. Currently our wax (less freight), wicks and some of our fragrances are donated. We lost our donation of glass due to covid supply issues; so our profit percentage decreased slightly. We revamped our website, and are working on developing a relationship with an e-commerce marketing company. We are currently looking for sponsorships for this service. We have also added the iddeal foundation as a dba. The iddeal foundation expands our mission to providing opportunities not only for work but also for live and play. We have a website www.theiddealfoundation.org and have secured an incredible partnership with the pulte family foundation to help us develop an affordable, independent community for adults with i/dd. They have pledged to purchase the land and raise the funds for the build, and provide an annual endowment to help with sustainability. This will be the first of its kind in south florida and will prove to be a model for this population. We started the land acquisition phase in 2022. We have added a communications director on our bod, and she is a high-level graphic designer and has taken over design and social media. She is also working on a roadmap for scentsability candle sales and marketing for 2023.”

“To provide assistance with job training, employment, and housing to young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We incorporate a work, live, play model to empower them with social, employment, and life skills for future job placement and affordable housing, resulting in a productive lifestyle. Our core values are: everyone has unique abilities, choose a positive attitude, ask for help when you need it, be proud of your accomplishments, support and encourage your team, show gratitude, live with purpose.”

“To provide a workplace environment where we focus on the abilities of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and utilize their full potential to create beautiful artisan scented products. Our program participants learn social, life and employment skills through their hands-on operation of a retail store that specializes in the manufacture, distribution, and retail of scented candles. For many of our participants, this is the first time they have the responsibility, pride and sense of accomplishment of running a business. We have found that this empowerment has led to increased motor skills and cognitive function in their daily lives. Our adaptive candle making business includes 18 artisans in which we added 3 in early 2022. We offer virtual classes, social gatherings, and community experiences. The job training includes hands on experience including pouring, measuring, mixing, labeling, packaging, customer service, money skills, work-related social skills, interviewing, selling, marketing, inventory, and general retail skills. Our goal is to give everyone instruction in all skills, regardless of their abilities. Many of our tasks are completed in teams to enable maximum success. We have created proprietary tools - wicker, for example, can give everyone the opportunity to wick the glass perfectly.”

“We taught an 8-week job traning/candle making program at unicorn foundation in boca raton, fl in sept/oct 2021. We have partnered with remarkable disability services (a virtual program for adults with i/dd) and continued our shop with your heart program for other vendors that provide employment or job training to adults with i/dd through september 2021.every friday we hosted virtual parties. We spent two months developing the virtual training program with remarkable that began in 2022. We also developed new website design to launch in jan 2022 and develped a co-branding option for corporations and other non-profits for our candles.”
