Gatesway Foundation, Inc. Charity Profile

Gatesway's Mission is to encourage independence and provide opportunities for people with developmental disabilities that will enable them to live and work in the community and improve their quality of life.

Gatesway is a non-profit Oklahoma agency that provides residential and vocational options and supports people with developmental disabilities.

Gatesway was founded in 1963, by Helen Gates, to provide alternatives for persons with developmental disabilities such as her son, Ronnie, who was born with Down syndrome. Over the past 42 years Gatesway has grown into a comprehensive regional resource that has touched the lives of thousands of individuals and their families. Today, we provide services for nearly 500 people with developmental disabilities.
