The Gateway Community Center
On September 15, 2015, Northwest Montana United Way proudly acquired the Gateway Community Center—a nonprofit campus located in the former Gateway West Mall. Since then, the Center has grown into a thriving hub of collaboration and service, welcoming residents from every community in Flathead County and beyond.
A Hub for Community Impact
The Gateway Community Center offers a unique opportunity for nonprofit organizations to come together under one roof. By doing so, we make it easier for people to access services without having to search across the greater Kalispell area. This collaboration not only improves visibility for the agencies housed here, but also strengthens their ability to meet community needs.
Today, the Center is fully rented and home to 22 nonprofit organizations that collectively serve more than 3,000 community members every month. One of the ways Northwest Montana United Way supports these partners is by providing office space at more than 50% below market rent, ensuring that donations they receive are invested in programs—not overhead.

Location Advantages
The Center is located within walking distance of the Office of Public Assistance, Child & Adult Protective Services, Family Services, and Vocational Rehabilitation. Within just a few blocks, residents can also access the Samaritan House homeless shelter, the American Red Cross, the Social Security office, community gardens, and two Veterans Centers—making the Gateway Community Center truly central to support in our valley.
A Space for Community Gathering
Beyond office space, the Center offers three conference rooms available to nonprofit organizations and community groups. To date, more than 64 local groups have used these spaces, bringing together hundreds of citizens and volunteers for training, meetings, and collaborative projects.
