Community connecting

Gateway gives back.

We’re only as strong as the communities we serve. Which is why we do our part to be actively engaged in the lives of our friends and neighbors.

Our team members are the F.A.C.E.S. of Gateway.

Through employee participation and community involvement, as well as our charitable commitments, we’re striving to make a difference by strengthening families and communities. We support community development issues like financial literacy, affordable housing, children’s issues, economic development and disaster relief.

Financial Education

We use our expertise and backgrounds to increase the level of financial knowledge and understanding among those in the communities we serve. This creates financial resiliency because the “informed consumer” is the best “protected consumer.

We strengthen families and communities through access to safe, sustainable, and affordable housing. Homeownership builds generational wealth and is part of the rising tide that lifts all our communities.

A LASTING COMMITMENT

Serving those who served and sacrificed.

We proudly support Folds of Honor by making a donation for every home loan we close. To date, we’ve contributed more than $615,000 to Folds of Honor, helping them provide services to the families of fallen and injured service men and women.

Kids learning

GLOBAL IMPACT

Helping those in need, a world away.

In 2009, we helped establish a small school in a village in Nigeria, providing classroom education to 300 students each year. Then, in 2015 we financed the purchase of 215 acres in Uganda to help establish the Gateway Youth Ranch. These efforts provide a place for children to deepen their academic knowledge while also developing their agricultural skills.

We’re here for you, let’s connect.
