The Gate- Gateway to Independence assists young adults with severe disabilities to achieve Independence by providing them with social and pre-vocational activities. Participants enter the program between the ages of 22-30 but may remain in the program as long as they wish. The participants come together several days each week with staff and volunteers from the community to enjoy each others company and to use skills that foster Independence. The focus of the program is on each individuals abilities and on developing a community of people who appreciate and care about each other. Just as important, the Gate provides a respite service to the family/caretaker who is able to leave the participant with US knowing that they are in a safe and nurturing environment. For many families, this is the only respite they have. Without this program , most of these young adults face a life of isolation and exclusion. The Gate is a model of what an inclusive community can be. The program is funded throu

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
92¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
