A Note From Dick DeVos
Welcome! My life’s work in business, public policy, civic engagement, and education have been rewarding endeavors. That work continues today. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help mentor businesses, lead public policy initiatives, and support the rapid growth of West Michigan. My hope is that you are inspired and encouraged to join in creating positive change and leaving a lasting impact on West Michigan and beyond.
Mom and Dad’s life was never about them. It was always about how they could work together to make our world a better place.
Their foundation did extraordinary things, they encouraged many, many others to give generously, and they laid the groundwork (along with the encouragement) for today’s generation to make its own impact for good. Still so very proud of them ☺!!

Thank you for being such great examples for our community!
They were such extraordinary people. Their leadership, their generosity, their vision, and their love for Jesus, all combined to make the things that they built and touched beautiful. They will always be missed and they will always be remembered.
Thank you for sharing your dad and his grace for giving generously. It was one of the secrets for his great success! This last year I read, “Como ser como Rich DeVos,” Como tener éxito Con integridad tanto en los negocios como en la vida. (Pat Williams & Jim Denney). Dan Tovar, Compliance Officer SEV
Felicidades, por siempre en nuestra mente y corazón .

Their legacy of generosity, caring and community will live on for generations to come. They truly gave of themselves for the better good, while setting the bar high for all of us to follow.

Grand Rapids was so blessed to have your family in the community!
I have a great story about how your dad bailed me out of a potentially embarrassing situation at a J-44 reggata. It was the first time I met him, and he went out of his way to help me.
Our community has been blessed by your parents, and by you and Betsy as well!!
Your family has been very inspirational to me with my journey. Keep the ripples flowing!
We are so thankful for what the DeVos family has done for Grand Rapids! Thank you!

There should be more schools like the West Michigan Aviation Academy. If we could replicate the school’s model in other high-demand industries – like engineering, computer science and big data, advanced manufacturing, energy, food production, artificial intelligence, digital marketing, pharmaceuticals, and medical technology – we could help prepare a whole generation of talent for the workforce! ...
