The Avedis Foundation has just awarded a $500,000 grant to Gateway to Prevention and Recovery, Inc., a local non-profit dedicated to serving the community and families where loved ones have been affected by substance abuse and mental health disorders.

The Avedis Foundation is honored to provide this grant to Gateway’s Expect Hope campaign. By supporting their mission to provide community based behavioral health services to individuals and families, Gateway will be able to not only continue providing critical services, but will also be able to expand and develop existing credible programs. During these challenging times, it is essential more than ever to help people access the services that they need. Kathy Laster, Ph.D. President & CEO Avedis Foundation

This grant award is intended to be a lead gift in the $5.8 million campaign for Gateway to Prevention and Recovery, Expect Hope. It’s the first comprehensive fundraising campaign in the history of the organization and the focus is not only on capital expansion but programmatic support as well.

“At Gateway to Prevention & Recovery, we believe every life matters. This campaign will allow us to expand our reach and services to anyone seeking to heal and offer hope, restoration and prevention services to families in our community,” Jon Greenwood, Executive Director.
