Overview
Mission
Fundraising for Gateway Community Charters
What it reported doing in 2024
The Gateway Community Charters Foundation (Foundation) was created to provide philanthropic support for students, staff, and families primarily who are served by the Gateway Community Charters (GCC). The GCC is an organization that operates nine charter schools and serves over 5,200 students in the greater Sacramento area. The Foundation works to support the needs of these schools that are otherwise not covered by state and federal dollars. According to data from the US Census, over 80% of the student population of GCC come from communities that are considered low income and high poverty. Each of the GCC schools has its own unique mission and vision but all of the schools serve traditionally underserved student populations. Each school has a free and reduced lunch population of 75 percent or higher with large numbers of English language learners. Four of the schools serve primary ninth through twelfth-grade students who are credit deficient and have other risk factors such as homelessness, teen pregnancy, probation, or foster youth. The Foundation raises funds to support students learning through funding educational field trips, instructional materials, and supplies, athletic program costs, and instructional program support.
