Seeds of Hope of Northern Colorado, Inc.

Children need Catholic education now more than ever, and families need Seeds of Hope scholarships! 

Seeds of Hope provides Hope Scholarships to families so their children can attend a Catholic K-8 school in the Archdiocese of Denver. If a family, regardless of their economic or geographical status, desires a quality, faith-based education, it is the mission and responsibility of Seeds of Hope to make it possible. By providing scholarships and tuition assistance, we give families the choice to send their children to a Catholic school where spiritual, mental, academic, and physical formation is provided.

Seeds of Hope grants not only allow for parent choice in education, but also bolster each school's tuition income. Schools can remain open with this additional funding and continue their work as foundations for their communities and families.

Please consider a gift to help us fulfill our mission and make an impact on the lives of God’s children.

Results

We recently conducted a comprehensive survey to understand the many benefits and overall impact of a K-8 Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Denver. The information we learned through our survey has reinforced to us that our mission is critical for our students, their families, our communities, and our future leaders. Through our results we found that:

HIGH SCHOOL GPA

Seeds of Hope (SOH) students are well prepared for high school and the proof is from a GPA comparison. SOH Alumni GPA average is 3.51 vs. 2.69 for low-income families in public schools. Statistics show that a student’s high school GPA is an indicator of their future success.  

PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE

Only 67.5% of Colorado young adults feel as though they are prepared for their future, while our SOH alumni feel much better prepared for adult life. 85.6% of SOH parents with children in college feel their children are better prepared, and 93.8 % with children in the workforce feel they are better prepared for adult life because of their opportunity to have a Catholic education.                                                                                                                                                                              

COMMITMENT TO FAITH

SOH alumni demonstrated a deeper commitment to their Catholic faith at 90% vs. only 54.5% of Colorado Catholics. The results state that SOH families are more likely to attend mass, express their faith, and participate in parish activities. 71% of SOH families participate in parish activities while only 16% of Colorado Catholics do the same.
