By donating annually to the Houston Zoo's mission of conservation, education, science and natural environment, you can help us achieve our goals. From giving to the Annual Fund to becoming a Houston Zoo Corporate Partner, you can be a community leader by supporting your zoo and its 4,500 inhabitants and the over 1,500,000 visitors that enter its gates each year.
Why give to the Houston Zoo?
The Houston Zoo is no longer a city zoo. Merely five years ago, in 2002, the Houston Zoo privatized, which gives it the flexibility and the internal leadership to allow it to go from being a good regional zoo to being a true community asset and destination of choice, not only for our local residents, but for the people who visit from around the country and the world.
Becoming a private entity has given us the opportunity to become a premier zoo, but there are still many challenges ahead. At this time of great enthusiasm and possibility, we realize that it will take the steadfast commitment of everyone in the community to make the Zoo’s renaissance a reality. Ongoing individual, corporate and foundation support will ensure that the Zoo continues its growth as an unparalleled resource for learning life sciences, cultivating conservation actions, and providing affordable family amusement.
The many ways of giving
The Houston Zoo depends on annual philanthropic dollars to bridge the gap that exists between earned revenue and the true costs of running and maintaining a zoo. Talk to us to find out more about the Houston Zoo's long-range plan and our mission-based objectives for education, conservation, guest services and capital improvements, and how you can become a Houston Zoo ambassador.
