You can make a difference!
Your charitable gift to the Akron Zoo will provide care for animals at the zoo, support educational programs and wildlife conservation projects.
As conservators of wildlife, our purpose is to provide an enlightening and affordable animal experience that is fun for the families of our community. Active promotion and continually improving service and facilities will ensure our goals of financial security and international involvement in wildlife conservation efforts.
Due to the financial resources contributed by zoo supporters the zoo is able to achieve these goals and standards on a daily basis.
You can make a general donation which will go into the zoo’s Foundation to support the zoo and its critters for years to come, or specifically make a memorial donation to honor the loss of a loved one or commemorate a particular moment. You could also specifically designate your gift to go to the Akron Zoo’s Conservation Education Fund, supporting field projects and educational messaging.
Other ways to show your support and passion for wildlife at the Akron Zoo that are unique are: Care for a Critter program, purchase a tile, buy a zoo bench, planned gift, annual fund, or sponsor an animal exhibit.
We also offer corporate sponsors amazing opportunities with wild benefits for our various special events and education programs.
Memorial
Honor your loved one by making a donation on their behalf to the zoo. You and your beloved’s name will be recognized in an issue of ZooTales, the zoo’s quarterly newsletter.
