Philanthropy

At XCell Fund, our corporate philosophy underlies every one of our investment decisions, including philanthropic ones. It is a corporate philosophy built on the fundamental principle of respect for the individual and sharing our good fortune with our customers, its employees, its business partners, its investors, and society as a whole. It is this unique perspective that inspires our company to be involved in a broad range of initiatives focused on entrepreneurship and education. Our company proactively contributes to a variety of underserved communities vis-a-vis corporate contributions, associate volunteerism and foundation grants. Our philanthropic vision is to become the type of company that society wants to have more. We believe that means enriching the social, economic and educational well-being of communities and society through corporate and individual participation.

Our Support for Entrepreneurialism

XCell Fund’s entrepreneurial initiative involves committing ourselves to helping small businesses acquire the necessary capital, expertise and other resources they need to grow. Since we believe small businesses are the cornerstones of local communities, we feel that investing in this sector not only creates jobs but spurs innovation so valuable in this era. Our support of this sector during our company’s existence has been instrumental in helping non-profits and other small business (that would not otherwise qualify for our financial programs) gain access to managerial training, investors, skilled workers, facilities, supply chains, and new markets.

Our Support for Education

It is part of our core beliefs as a company that education is fundamental to ensuring social and economic progress and enhancing the quality of human life. We additionally believe that education is essential to achieving a rewarding life. Its power is ultimately central to attaining our corporate goal of living in a world where substantial economic development has been achieved. In an attempt to accomplish this, we facilitate opportunities for underserved students to receive a high-quality education that empowers the student to develop critical thinking skills necessary to grow into responsible adults from a very young age.
