FINANCIAL REPORT
2015 ARCHDIOCESE OF DENVER
GRANT AND OTHER
FUNDING TO CATHOLIC
SCHOOLS AND
EDUCATION MINISTRY
PROGRAMS
The Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools comprises the largest private school system in Colorado. Located in 18
cities in northern Colorado, 35 parish schools and two high schools educated 9,100 students during the school year
ended June 2015. The majority of Catholic school revenue comes from the sacrifice families make to pay tuition, and
while this is a generous investment, it is not sufficient to cover the salaries and related benefit costs of our faculty and
staff. Accordingly, these schools also rely on fundraising, parish support and philanthropy to survive financially. In
contrast, the majority of revenue for public schools comes from taxpayers, whether they are users of the services or
not. For the 2014-2015 school year, Catholic schools and related educational ministry programs of the archdiocese
received nearly $6.4 million in grants and other support through The Catholic School Assistance Fund (which each
parish contributes to), Seeds of Hope Charitable Trust, The Catholic Foundation and the Archbishop's Catholic Appeal.
