More about The Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation
The Foundation was started in 2013 to commemorate and honor the life of Catherine Violet Hubbard, a six-year-old victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy and enduring animal lover. In 2014, the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation was awarded over 34 acres of Connecticut state farmland by a unanimous vote from the Connecticut State House of Representatives and Senate, which would become home to the Catherine Violet Hubbard Sanctuary.
Since its inception, the organization has raised over $6.5 million in funding, including grants from the ASPCA, private sector partners, and thousands of individuals, to support its breadth of programming, including a pollinator protection initiative providing critical shelter, sustenance, and migration space for essential pollinators of the ecosystem, free community workshops around animal care and environmental protection, aid for seniors to keep and care for their pets and much more.
