There are many rewarding ways to make a gift to Woodland Park Zoo. Every gift is a gift to our campaign to create more wonder for our community and more wild for our world.
By check or credit card
You can mail in your donation or make a gift securely online

By spreading payments over a period of time — typically not more than five years — pledges allow you to make larger commitments and fulfill them at a comfortable pace.

Stock transfer
Make a gift through an electronic transfer of stock, and potentially save paying capital gains tax.

Honor and memorial gifts

Matching gifts
Your gift may be doubled or even tripled! Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Spouse and retiree gifts are also often matched. Please contact your employer’s HR department for details.
