Who we’ve funded
For more than 55 years, the Hubbell-Waterman Foundation has provided funding to support capital campaigns that have helped build or expand libraries, museums, a sports center, hospitals, mental health and hospice facilities, a zoo, facilities for our community’s youth, seniors, people with disabilities, and a variety of facilities to house nonprofit organizations.
Operational and program grants have been made to also support the work that goes on in these facilities.
