Newborn Hope, Inc. has been raising funds to support programs for the prevention of premature birth and treatment of critically ill newborns since 1973.

Newborn Hope, Inc. is a Colorado 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which raises funds and supports programs for the advancement of maternal, fetal, and neonatal healthcare and well being  throughout Colorado. Since its inception, Newborn Hope, Inc. has raised more than $3 million for programs, which contributed to a 50% drop in the infant mortality rate in Southern Colorado alone. An all-volunteer organization, Newborn Hope Inc. maintains no office or paid staff.  Volunteers in Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, and Pueblo raise funds through exciting charitable events including fashion shows; golf tournaments; concerts; black-tie galas; and foundation, corporate, and individual patron support.
