Animals

The Hansen Family Foundation believes in helping those who cannot speak on their own behalf. Animals have played a huge part in our members’ lives, touching our hearts in profound ways. Animals, to us, are the most agreeable of friends–they ask no questions and pass no criticisms. The Hansen Family Foundation supports groups that strive to break the cycle of cruelty, neglect, abuse, and poaching of animals from all walks of life.
