In 2010, American Gateways delivered $1,136,985 worth of services benefiting 16,833 people, an increase of 6,199 people more than in 2009, or 58%. 

When an immigrant leaves an abusive spouse and establishes her legal status separate from her abuser, when a man who was tortured because of his religion in his nation of origin is able to worship freely in Texas, or when communities see immigrants as trusted neighbors rather than feared outsiders, we know we are making a difference.

Despite our effectiveness, governmental and institutional continue to dwindle. Our financial statements indicates that in order to meet the increasing need for immigration legal services and education in Central Texas, American Gateways experienced a 2% shortfall, which was covered by dipping into organizational reserve funds. In response, our board of directors strengthened efforts focusing on individual giving, enhancing our annual gala, and expanding our pro bono network. 

American Gateways has begun a long-range shift toward being a community-supported institution, and we will need and depend upon the continued support of our constituents.

Immigrants in need of legal assistance, and Central Texans in need of understanding about immigration, received as much help as American Gateways and our friends -- donors, volunteers and pro bono attorneys -- as possible last year.  We remain extremely grateful for all of our supporters.

Thank you.
