Overview

Mission

Gateway women's care is a faith-based non-profit organization committed to serving women and men in the community by providing medical, educational and support services and resources related to pregnancy and sexual health without condemnation or manipulation.

What it reported doing in 2025

Gateway client services reported 824 client visits in 2025. 1640 pregnancy related client services were provided; 425 pregnancy tests were given, 470 ultrasounds were performed. An additional 11 clients received post abortion support and 10 women sought abortion pill reversal services. 6 individuals were tested for HIV/std's in 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
