LEARN ABOUT OUR CONSERVATION GRANTS

The Indianapolis Zoo supports conservationists who are making an authentic difference in the world when it comes to saving species. We do this through our conservation grant program. From lichen research in Colorado and Dracula orchid conservation in Central and South America, to studying firelies and snakes in Indiana, our grants support a wide variety of projects.

Where you can give

Make a Contribution

The Indianapolis Prize convenes the best conservationists from every corner of the world to recognize ideas and solutions that work – for species, for people and for our planet. Since its inaugural year, the Indianapolis Prize has recognized men and women who have made a significant impact in saving animal species.

No other city or community in the world has an award program with the magnitude and impact of the Indianapolis Prize. It truly models the best of what a city can dare to achieve.

It is the continued goal of the Prize to draw the general public’s attention to conservation awareness. With your backing, we look forward to continuing to show the world what a dedicated community can do to make a difference.
