Join our Holiday Matching Gift Challenge

In the spirit of gratitude this holiday season, a group of loyal friends and Board members of the Zoos have stepped up with a special challenge and pledged to match the first $100,000 we receive before December 31, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.! That means every gift you make before the end of the year will be doubled – and go twice as far to protect the natural world for future generations.

Our expert animal care, engaging educational programming, and critical conservation work can’t happen without your help! Your tax-deductible donation of any size will make a big difference and increase our impact in the year ahead.

  • $25 becomes $50 for healthy diets for Stone Zoo’s cougar sisters, Franklin Park Zoo’s mountain zebra foals, and all our animals;
  • $50 becomes $100 for partnerships with local schools that teach students about local conservation as they raise turtle hatchlings in their classrooms;
  • $100 becomes $500 for educational programs like ZooTeens that empower youth to build leadership experience;
  • $500 becomes $1,000 for conservation projects like our work with local communities in Tanzania to conserve the African lion;
  • $1,000 becomes $2,000 for all of the above and membership in our President’s Circle giving society for leadership donors!

Please give what you can today to ensure it is matched – and helps us bring in a total of $200,000 for your Zoos.
