With Credential Like Dick’s, Someone Had To Do And Now, The Past Work of Richard “Dick” DeVos Lifts The Veil So many people felt that the DeVos family had something outrageous to hide. But Dick DeVos leads his own family in a much different manner. But the reality is, people weren’t far from the truth as they “suspected something.” It turned out to be a joke in the end. See, what the family recently exposed were not scams and detailed drama. Everyone is entitled to the privacy of their own charitable activity. So what we saw as the inside view of the DeVos family was a VERY large amount. We’re talking about numbers or dollars in the billions to be specific. That amount equated to that which the family gave over the years and the contributions made in recent months. It likely didn’t surprise you to hear that the total giving of the family exceeds a billion dollars. It exceeds more than a couple billion to be exact. But that’s not why we have interests in the DeVos family lifting its veil today. What shocked us most was their honor. That is, the reasons they had for giving. – Why This Family Can’t Help But Share The DeVos family honor is one where, over the years, no one knew the exact amount of the family’s given. They kept it secret. And though it reaches a sum that’s more than what 1,000 people will make their entire lifetimes and collectively, the family kept it “under lock-and-key.” All we saw, being bystanders to the DeVos’ amazing contribution, was the results and it being clearly published through the media. Instead of seeing these people framing their accomplishments in the news, we only saw the lives of many improved, lifted and brought to better endings. We saw hospitals built, universities erected and even convention centers put in a place where there was none. Over 4,000 children have been given opportunities in the form of scholarships that they wouldn’t have had otherwise. And this is all because of the work with the DeVos family. But it’s Dick’s past work history that made it all possible. – A Long History of Clear Charitable Work In such case, when we say that the family has a clear track record of giving, we actually mean it. But here’s what we really want to show you. And that is that the DeVos family looks beyond the dollars and instead focuses on the impact. There’s no other way to truly be charitable unless you can duplicate this behavior. Which is: give as much as you can, but make an impact without telling anyone about it. This is the true heart of given and the true lifted veil which was made possible by Dick DeVos’ past work history.
