May Bonfils Stanton Fund
From 1887 to 1983, the Franciscan Friars of Holy Name staffed St. Elizabeth Parish in Denver, Colorado, as well as a number of other ministries there. Their work gained the admiration and assistance of May Bonfils Stanton, a member of a prominent Denver family. In accordance with her will, a fund was established to help support these ministries.
Today, the Holy Name Province May Bonfils Stanton Fund continues to encourage and support programs and projects that provide any charitable endeavor of bringing comfort to the sick, the poor and the needy in the vicinity of greater Denver, Colorado. Preference in awarding grants is given to not-for-profit agencies that provide services that include, but are not limited to, efforts to secure the basic rights to food, adequate shelter, healthcare and education for the poor.
