Gateway Celebrates 2023 Donation of $53,000 to Folds of Honor

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gateway Mortgage is a proud and intentional supporter of Folds of Honor. Since 2017, a portion of every new home loan underwritten by Gateway has been donated to Folds of Honor to help fund academic scholarships. Gateway recently celebrated donating $53,000 in 2023--bringing the overall running total donated to over $753,000. In addition, several of Gateway's mortgage loan originators also make additional matching contributions to Folds of Honor, and Gateway has encouraged several pro golfers and organizations to make donations.

“Our U.S. military families and first responders make great sacrifices for our nation,” said Gateway's CEO, Scott Gesell. “The educational scholarships awarded to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled service members and first responders are one way we can give back to those who have given so much for us.”

“At Gateway, we don’t just believe in giving back to our communities; we live it every day,” said Steven Plaisance, Gateway President of Mortgage Banking. “Donating to Folds of Honor is not just a corporate donation, but something that each of our producers works to achieve every day while helping customers into their dream homes.”
