Foundation History
T.W. Lewis and its associates have always been committed to giving back to the community. For as long as T.W. Lewis has been building dream homes, the company and its associates have helped other dreams to be realized, namely by contributing time and money to various child- and education-related causes.In 2000, company owner Tom Lewis and his wife Jan decided to establish the T.W. Lewis Foundation as the next logical step in corporate responsibility and citizenship. "Charitable giving is an obligation of success," states Mr. Lewis. "The establishment of the T.W. Lewis Foundation has allowed us to focus our efforts, and therefore we have a greater impact on those issues that are important to us."
The T.W. Lewis Foundation receives approximately 10% of the company's pre-tax profits. Tom and Jan Lewis, together with their three sons Tom Jr., John and Michael and T.W. Lewis associates are involved in the activities of the Foundation.
