Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance believes one of the best and most important ways we can “give back” is by supporting and encouraging the next generation. Investing in our young people today is a solid investment in our state for tomorrow, which is why our corporate citizenship efforts focus especially on programs to benefit our Indiana youth. Our Company’s flagship youth program is the eXceL Awards, which recognizes and awards scholarship money to Indiana teens who shine in creative and performing arts. The eXceL Awards Program has been presented and funded by Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance since 1989. “The eXceL Awards program allows us to see the creativity, the depth, the faith of our next generation,” says Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance Sr. VP of Marketing Patty Poehler. “It is abundantly clear that our future is in good hands.” Some students are talented performers or artists; other students are outstanding athletes or participate in leadership and citizenship activities. We recognize that young people have gifts in many different areas, and we know that they need our support during important times of transition. Some other youth programs Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance supports are listed below.

Students who participate are asked to develop their own goals for the future and submit their Gameplan for Life. Winners of the competition win tickets to an Indianapolis Colts game and are honored with an award signed by Colts team members.

Amber Alert On October 1, 2002, Indiana joined the ranks of several other states that have activated a statewide Amber Alert system.

IFBI Ad by Ben Sunderlin Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance commissioned former eXceL Award Winner, Ben Sunderlin, to create an advertisement that focused on our roots in Indiana and the growth we have seen to the present day. Ben, a recent Lafayette Jefferson High School graduate, created this piece called “Evolution.” It evokes a sense of nostalgia in the top left corner with images representative of Indiana in the 1930s. The design then winds down and around to show the progression and evolution of Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance as a company and the products and services that we provide. Ben won the 2-D Category of our eXceL Awards in 2005 with a piece entitled “Rembrandt’s Frustration.” The eXceL Awards is a creative arts competition by Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, allowing high school authors, poets, artists, songwriters, filmmakers and performers the opportunity to express themselves on topics of interest and vital importance to Indiana teenagers.
