Gateway Chapter, Paralyzed Veterans of America

Gateway is one of 33 Chapters of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). Our local Chapter was chartered in the State of Missouri in October 1976. We are an accredited charity member of the Better Business Bureau, meeting all 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability, and have received their designation as an Honor Roll Charity. We are also a Guidestar Platinum-Level Participant. Out of the 33 Chapters of PVA, we have been awarded the "Most Outstanding Chapter" for 2015 and 2016. Our 2024 fiscal year audit shows that out of every dollar we spent, $.90 went to programs for members. A program expense ratio of at least 65% is required for BBB approval. We are governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors, comprised entirely of veteran members of our organization. We pride ourselves on being responsible stewards of the funds we receive, and appreciate your interest in our organization.
