About Catholic Foundation No Colorado
The Catholic Foundation No Colorado’s grantmaking is built around six Catholic grant categories that map closely to parish life, Catholic education, clergy formation, evangelization, and community care. In the recent grant record, the largest award went to the Augustine Institute for $5,252,450, followed by $4,697,000 to St John Paul II High School in Windsor. That combination shows a foundation that supports both institutional formation and school-based Catholic education at substantial scale. Across its recent giving, the foundation also backs seminaries, parish ministries, and Catholic social service organizations. St John Vianney Theological Seminary received multiple large grants, including $2,889,106 in 2024 and $2,371,940 in 2025, while parish-strengthening support reached St Clare of Assisi Catholic Parish and Queen of Peace Catholic Church. Community-facing grantmaking appears alongside these religious investments, with awards to Catholic Charities - Marisol Health North and Society of St Vincent de Paul - AOD. The pattern reflects a funder that uses charitable capital to support the institutions and programs Catholics rely on for formation, worship, and local service.
What Catholic Foundation No Colorado Funds
Catholic education is a major theme. The foundation gave $2,050,000 to Central Denver Classical High School in 2023 and $836,000 to ACE Scholarships in 2024 under Teaching Our Children, showing support for tuition access and school formation. It also granted $610,000 to Wyoming Catholic College in 2024 and $500,000 to Benedictine College in 2024, extending that education focus beyond Colorado. Clergy formation is another clear priority. St John Vianney Theological Seminary received $2,889,106 in 2024 and $2,097,288 in 2023 for Preparing Future Priests, and Redemptoris Mater Seminary received $637,343 in 2025. For parish and community support, the foundation gave $1,966,247 to St Clare of Assisi Catholic Parish in Edwards and $489,800 to Society of St Vincent de Paul - AOD in Denver under Caring for Our Community.
How Catholic Foundation No Colorado Gives
Typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $23,314 at the median, and $83,146 at the 75th percentile, with a long right tail that includes several multimillion-dollar awards. The foundation appears to be an institutional funder rather than a grantmaker to individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The recent record also suggests repeat support over multiple years for some recipients, especially St John Vianney Theological Seminary and St John Paul II High School, indicating ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. Grants are made through named Catholic grant categories rather than an open unsolicited process.
