Our Why
At our core, we believe that financial literacy and personal growth are crucial components of a happy, fulfilling life. Unfortunately, many individuals and communities are facing significant barriers when it comes to accessing these resources and gaining the knowledge they need to succeed. In 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated more than 15% of Kansas City locals are below the poverty line.
That's where Exceeds Expectations comes in.
As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, we are passionate about empowering people of all ages to take control of their financial futures and achieve their dreams. Whether it's through our dynamic youth programs, interactive workshops for adults, or access to our financial materials, we are committed to providing our communities with the tools they need to build a solid foundation for a lifetime of financial wellness. We partner with schools, community centers, and local organizations, where we are able to bring our programs and resources directly to those underserved and underrepresented, helping to build a brighter, more prosperous future for everyone.
