Our Funding Priorities
Gateway Fund supports 501(c)3 designated public non-profit organizations located and operating in the communities we serve. These organizations focus on STEM Education and Technical Workforce Development, Human Health and Wellness, and/or Environmental Stewardship. Each year, Gateway Fund will support five chosen programs with a $10,000 grant to each selected grantee.
STEM Education & Technical Workforce Development
Gateway Fund is dedicated to increasing the capacity of the future workforce by supporting youth and adult workforce development programs that promote education in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), or technical and skilled trade proficiency.
Human Health & Wellness
Gateway Fund supports organizations that work to maintain health and prevent disease in all individuals residing in our communities. We believe in a three part approach for healthier living: Act Well, Think Well and Eat Well. We partner with organizations that promote wellness through one or more of these three actions.
Environmental Stewardship
Gateway Fund provides support to environmentally-focused programs which act to: preserve natural resources; educate children, residents, and /or businesses to employ conservation techniques in their everyday lives and operations; and leverage technology to minimize adverse impacts on the environment.
