FUND OUR FUTURE

Making a Home for Iconic Species

Making a world-class home for a dynamic range of endangered and threatened species within our 125-year-old zoo is what we do best—it is also a monumental task! Your gifts to Fund Our Future this year will help us continue evolving our zoo as a welcoming place for animals and people alike.


Opening Meaningful Doors for New Generations

With your support during Fund Our Future, you are giving young people the tools to shape the future in their own backyard. No matter how the next generation of conservationists experience the zoo—whether that is through a single visit with their class, a STEM focused summer camp, or their dream internship—we are creating memories and skills with a lasting impact.


Building a Greener Zoo for the 21st Century

Together, we are building a zoo that is resilient and forward looking, providing a welcoming space for people and the highest quality of care for animals. Your support will help bring new sustainable improvements to the zoo such as a hybrid ambulance and other enhancements that allow our veterinary team to provide responsive care in a greener way.

By Funding Our Future, you are also helping us prepare Forest Trailhead (our most sustainable and most ambitious new habitat yet) for a 2026 opening!
