Overview

Mission

Offer programs to help individuals with autism and their families during the transition out of high school and into the adult world.

What it reported doing in 2019

Gateway ink is a social enterprise screen printing business, which provides a job training program for young adults with autism. Employee-trainees have the opportunity to earn a real paycheck in a supported environment while developing basic vocational and social skills that are transferable to other jobs in the community. Employee-trainees also participate in financial literacy classes which teaches them how to manage money, including skills such as online banking, setting up a bank account and making and following a budget.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and some filed totals do not add up.
