Community
We belong to a neighborhood, a city, a group of people with whom we interact in and outside of our professional lives. We believe we are responsible to that larger group to play a role in positive growth and developments in that larger community. Not because we want to “look good” for business reasons. But because it’s simply the right thing to do. No other reason is necessary.
Community involvement is an important element of Feyen Zylstra’s corporate culture. Each year Feyen Zylstra donates a significant amount of money to a variety of causes throughout West Michigan. As important as financial contributions to local organizations are, we also understand that there is no replacement for the donation of time. Feyen Zylstra is committed to improving the communities in which we live and work.
Below you'll find a list of organizations that we consistently support with time or money. This list does not represent those organizations that are one-time benefactors but those that we are involved with on a consistent basis.
