What Gateway Environmental Initiative does
Mission
The organization's primary exempt purpose is to preserve vacant land adjacent to washington park in winston-salem for utilization as an educational resource to the parks system by helping to develop this site as a non-profit nature/environmental center. Specifically these efforts aim to preserve and nuture wildlife habitat; remediate site degradation from past industrial uses; and develop trails, natural playscapes, and educational programs that connect people with nature.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.
Program
2nd annual rubber duck regatta - rubber duck regatta was a commuity event and fundraiser that offered nature-based education and the opportunity to sponsor a rubber duck for a float down the salem creek which runs through the gateway nature perserve.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

How concentrated its funding is
GATEWAY ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
80% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund GATEWAY ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 51% · 2022 64% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
70% of GATEWAY ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $43k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $102k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
