2025 Community Grant Winners

  • Newborn Hope presenting community grant check to CommonSpirit St. Francis Hospital

    CommonSpirit St. Francis Hospital

    Newborn Hope awarded a Community Grant to CommonSpirit St. Francis Hospital to purchase a MedVac Infant Immobilizer—a small but mighty tool that makes a big difference in how fragile newborns experience medical imaging. In NICUs, motion during scans like MRIs or CTs can lead to repeated procedures, added risk, and unnecessary discomfort. This device helps reduce all of that.

  • Newborn Hope presenting community grant to UCHealth Parkview Medical Center

    UCHealth Parkview Medical Center


    Premature babies aren’t just small they’re vulnerable. Their immune systems, digestion, even their senses are still catching up. That’s why UCHealth Parkview Medical Center applied for a Community Grant—to fund donor breast milk and developmental care tools for the NICU.

    Now, thanks to this grant, more babies in southern Colorado have access to critical nutrition and early sensory support that can shape their long-term development.

  • Newborn Hope presenting community grant to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado

    Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado


    When a baby is in the NICU, the last thing parents should worry about is where they’ll sleep or how they’ll get to the hospital. That’s where community steps in and why this work matters.

    We had the honor of presenting a grant to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado to help provide lodging, meals, and transportation for families with hospitalized infants. Because keeping families close is more than comfort, it’s critical care.

  • Newborn Hope presenting community grant check to Children's Hospital Colorado

    Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation 


    We were honored to award a grant to the Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation in support of their Volunteer Task Force, an incredible initiative that ensures NICU families feel seen, supported, and cared for during one of the most challenging times in their lives.

    The Volunteer Task Force provides practical and emotional support to families while their baby is in the NICU, from essential comfort items to daily moments of kindness that offer reassurance and connection.

Big Ideas, Real Impact.

By investing in aligned organizations, Newborn Hope extends its impact beyond direct services — helping advance research, improve care delivery, and advocate for better outcomes for premature babies across the state.
