We are a non-profit organization that supports sports programming at financially disadvantaged Catholic schools throughout Colorado so all kids have the opportunity to partake in sports, play on a school team, and learn essential life skills through athletics.
Saint Sebastian Project Denver Inc concentrates its giving on sports participation at financially disadvantaged Catholic schools, using grants, equipment donations, and fee support to help students play on school teams. The most recent grant on file is a single $112,260 award in 2025 to Various — Cath Sport Programs, which aligns with the organization’s program support for school athletics rather than individual aid. Its activities also include organized equipment distribution, showing a mix of cash and in-kind support tied to the same mission. The foundation’s work is aimed at K-12 Catholic school athletics, with emphasis on access to uniforms, equipment, gym time, referees, and other costs that can limit participation. Schools are invited to submit grant requests for consideration, and its active programs repeatedly point to direct assistance for financially disadvantaged Catholic schools across Colorado. Jefferson Stemper is listed as leadership for the organization. The grantmaking pattern is narrow and mission-specific: support for youth sports is not a side program, but the core of the foundation’s public activity.
A central theme is school sports access. Saint Sebastian Project Denver Inc funds athletic equipment, uniforms, gym time, referees, and related support so students at financially disadvantaged Catholic K-12 schools can participate on school teams. One active program specifically covers equipment and direct support for school athletics across Colorado. The foundation also supports in-kind donations. Its Equipment Donation & Distribution program coordinates collection and delivery of items such as basketballs, volleyballs, and soccer balls to supported Catholic schools in the Denver metro area. Another focus is fee relief and program support. Its school grant programs include assistance for athletic fees and other direct costs tied to participation, along with broader support for extracurricular youth development through team sports.
Typical grant size is fixed in the available data: the p25, median, and p75 are all $112,260. That points to a very concentrated pattern rather than a wide range of award sizes. The recent grant record shows one 2025 grant, suggesting a single documented award in the data provided. The organization also uses non-cash support through equipment donation and distribution, alongside grant requests from schools. Its public programs are structured around unsolicited requests: schools can submit a Grant Request Form to be considered for assistance.
