About Cathedral Plaza
Cathedral Plaza Inc concentrates its giving on Catholic-affiliated real estate and social service projects in the Denver/Colorado area, with heavy support for affordable housing and parish-centered community/plaza developments. Grants are directed to a small set of closely related organizations (many with religious names like Holy Family, St. Martin, Madonna, Marian), indicating a mission-driven focus on sustaining Catholic community infrastructure and housing. The foundation’s funding appears project-oriented—capital or program support for plaza/housing entities—rather than broad-based grantmaking across many causes.

About Cathedral Plaza
Cathedral Plaza Inc’s 2024 giving is dominated by one very large grant: $10,500,027 to CACHC in Denver. That single award sits alongside a smaller cluster of seven-figure grants to Catholic-affiliated plaza and housing entities, which shows a clear pattern of project-based support rather than a broad spread across many causes. The foundation’s recent recipients are all in Denver, and the names point to a consistent institutional focus: Holy Family Plaza Inc, St Martin Plaza Inc, Madonna Plaza Inc, Marian Plaza Inc, and Colorado Affordable Catholic. Together, those grants indicate a funder supporting Catholic community infrastructure, affordable housing development, and related social-service facilities in the Colorado capital area. The size of the awards also suggests that Cathedral Plaza Inc works through capital-scale commitments, with several grants in the million-dollar range rather than smaller operating gifts. Its grant list is compact and highly concentrated, which makes the foundation easy to characterize as a mission-driven local funder tied to Catholic real estate and plaza development.
What Cathedral Plaza Funds
Affordable housing is central to Cathedral Plaza Inc’s recent grantmaking. In 2024, it gave $1,350,000 to Colorado Affordable Catholic in Denver for that work, placing housing development alongside the foundation’s religious community priorities. The same pattern appears in its support for parish-centered infrastructure: $1,606,162 went to Holy Family Plaza Inc, and $1,118,598 went to St Martin Plaza Inc, both in Denver. Those grants point to a consistent interest in plazas and shared community facilities tied to Catholic institutions. Smaller support also went to Madonna Plaza Inc for $971,577 and Marian Plaza Inc for $5,158, reinforcing that the foundation funds a connected set of Catholic-affiliated organizations rather than unrelated causes. The recipient names and repeated Denver location show a local, institution-building strategy.
How Cathedral Plaza Gives
Cathedral Plaza Inc’s typical grant size is large: the 25th percentile is $1,008,332, the median is $1,234,299, and the 75th percentile is $1,542,122. The 2024 list shows a narrow distribution around seven-figure awards, with one outlier well above that range. The foundation appears highly concentrated in its giving, with all recent grants going to recipients in Colorado and the full set landing in Denver. The available records show a local, organization-to-organization pattern rather than individual giving, and no program-related investments are reported. The recent grants list is entirely from 2024, so the pattern visible here is one of current-year, project-oriented support.
