Open Gates Group and The Fountain Foundation has a mission to create value and enhance lives. One way this is done is to improve life in the community. Open Gates Group employees can elect to have a portion of each paycheck go to the Fountain Foundation Donation fund. This allows them to give back and help their local community.
