Gateway is honored to be one of the Spinks Family Foundation’s 2024 charitable giving beneficiaries. One of the Foundation’s key areas of giving is mental health, which aligns with Gateway’s mission of enhancing the lives of adults living with severe and persistent mental illness by offering opportunities for them to lead vocationally productive and socially satisfying lives.
The Spinks Family Foundation awarded $1.2M to 153 local organizations. Of the beneficiaries, Gateway was one of five organizations to receive funds raised specifically from the 2024 Spinx Charity Golf Classic.

“We are incredibly grateful for the support of the Spinks Family Foundation and their recognition of the work we’ve been doing around mental health for 40 years and counting,” said Randy Redlinger, Executive Director of Gateway “These funds will help us continue to empower individuals living with mental illness in the Upstate, providing the resources and community they need to thrive.”
Gateway is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization primarily funded by community donations that helps adults in the Upstate of South Carolina living with mental illness build confidence through social interaction and a workday model at Gateway’s 20,000-square-foot Clubhouse. The Clubhouse Model is a community and evidence-based approach to the treatment of persistent mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, bipolar, schizoaffective, and major depression. Gateway offers opportunities to increase social and vocational skills, build relationships, and obtain education, employment, and housing through four key program areas: the Clubhouse Model, Education, Transitional Employment, and Housing. Gateway exists to provide light for adults living with mental illness and offers a place of dignity and hope in the community.
