The Dianne Vande Hey Foundation
At Vande Hey Company, one of our core values is “Give Back”: Be an active part of your community and contribute to the best of your abilities. You can, and do, make a difference.
The Dianne Vande Hey Foundation embodies this principle. Named after Dianne Vande Hey—a remarkable woman with a kind heart and a generous spirit—the foundation is our way of extending her legacy of love, compassion, and meaningful impact.
Dianne had a unique gift for teaching and uplifting others. She believed in the power of guidance, living by the adage, “Teach someone to fish rather than simply giving them a fish.” But she also understood that sometimes, people need a few fish along the way. Her philosophy of offering both practical support and lasting empowerment deeply shaped the culture of Vande Hey Company.
Today, we honor her values through the organizations we support, each reflecting her commitment to making the world a better place.
As my grandfather always said, “Talk is cheap; it takes money to buy whiskey.” That’s why Vande Hey Company donates 10% of all company profits to causes that help others through the Dianne Vande Hey Foundation. This commitment ensures that her spirit of generosity continues to thrive—both within our team and in the communities we serve.
