Opening the Gates to a brighter future
Sponsor a Student
Each year, the Gloria Gates Memorial Foundation spends $200 per child on snacks, books, educational tools, school and art supplies, sports equipment, and field trips.
Through our 'Opening the Gates' program, you can sponsor a child enrolled in one of our after-school programs. This monthly gift will help the foundation to provide our students with the groundwork they need to excel in school and break the cycle of generational poverty.
As a monthly sponsor of one of our students, you will receive quarterly updates during the school year. This is our small way of saying thanks for helping a child reach their full potential.
