Thank you, Gateway Fund

Big thanks to Gateway Fund for supporting us

We’re grateful to share that Open Up has received continued support from the Gateway Fund.

This funding allows us to sustain two of our core adult classes—Community Improv + Yoga and Supported Yoga for Autism—and keep them free for our community.

These classes are more than movement. They are spaces where people can show up as they are, connect, regulate, and belong. Week after week, they fill to capacity, with many participants sharing that these are the only places where they feel fully supported and at ease.

Community Improv + Yoga began with Emily and Colton, two members of our community with a gift for bringing joy to others. Now co-teaching the class, they model leadership, inclusion, and what it means to be seen. Supported Yoga for Autism has grown into a consistent, trusted space for adults and caregivers to move, breathe, and build connection together.

Because of Gateway’s support, these spaces remain accessible—removing cost as a barrier and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate.

To the Gateway Fund, thank you for investing in inclusive wellness, community, and care. We’re proud to continue this work with your support.
