\n\t\t\tMaking an Impact\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t

Our vision is to create a transformative impact in our local community by upholding our five core principles, especially “always do the right thing.” We support local causes both financially and through active employee volunteering. Each quarter, our team volunteers with organizations aligned with our five focus areas: Children and Education, Poverty, Hunger, Financial Literacy, and Mental Health.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tOur Five Pillars\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t

Financial Literacy <\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a company in the financial services industry, Advisors Excel sees firsthand the importance of establishing healthy financial habits. We are proud to support organizations that help others understand and use skills such as personal financial management, saving, budgeting and investing, which all contribute to financial well-being and self-trust.<\/p>\n\n\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFinancial Literacy\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t

Hunger<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Access to food and proper nutrition is crucial for the health and well-being of ourselves and our families. When we’re hungry, we often can’t meet our other basic needs. We support programs in the community that work to address root causes of hunger and provide good, nourishing food to our neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHunger\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t

Mental Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mental health is an important factor for all of us, whether it’s being successful at work, being happy at home, or contributing to society. We support organizations that make mental health a priority in our community.<\/p>\n\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMental Health\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t

Advisors Excel is proud to offer three $5,000 scholarships to incoming minority or female students pursuing a degree in Kansas State University’s Personal Financial Planning (PFP) program. “For the 20 years I’ve been in the financial services industry, there have been many discussions about the lack of minorities and women in the profession. We want to start taking action and change that,” said Advisors Excel Co-Founder Cody Foster<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
