Why Donate to Gateway Center?

Your gift builds a life of dignity, independence, and belonging!

Across Monterey County alone, more than 8,000 individuals are living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These individuals–and their families–need your help.

While government reimbursement programs primarily fund the essential services we provide for adults we serve, there is a critical gap. Government funding does not cover the investments needed to enrich the lives of individuals we serve, strengthen and improve our facilities, develop our workforce, create new opportunities for the individuals we support, or expand our services to help even more adults with developmental disabilities.

Together, we can create a community where every person is valued, included, and empowered to live their fullest life.
