Description

Twin brothers Desmon Lewis '05 and Derrick Lewis '06 are the founders of the Bronx Community Foundation, which they established in 2017 to help improve life in the New York City borough where they grew up. When the pandemic hit before the organization's scheduled launch, however, they pivoted to focus their resources on a two-year initiative that raised $15 million and addressed needs exacerbated by the crisis. The Lewis brothers sat down with us to discuss their journey and what's next for the foundation.
