Saving Wild Things and Wild Places
Support Your Zoo
When you support the Indianapolis Zoo, you’re not only helping the extraordinary animals in our care, you’re joining a mission to protect the natural world for future generations. Your generosity sustains world-class animal care, vital wildlife conservation efforts locally and globally, and meaningful educational experiences for visitors of all ages. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on your support to protect nature and inspire people to care for our world.
Our Mission: We protect nature and inspire people to care for our world.
Our Vision: We believe in a world where nature and people thrive.
As one of the largest Zoos in the country that does not receive government support, we rely on our donors for everything we do. Here is where your donation makes an impact.
Matching gift programs are an easy way to increase your impact at no additional cost to you. If your employer offers gift matching, your donation could be doubled (or even tripled!) to support the Indianapolis Zoo’s mission.
If you have any questions about matching gifts, please contact James Negron, Donor Relations Coordinator, at 317-630-2049 or [email protected].
Honor and memorial gifts are a wonderful way to pay tribute to a loved one. Your contribution supports the Indianapolis Zoo’s exhibits and animal conservation mission while creating long-lasting recognition that can be appreciated for years to come.
Special naming opportunities such as benches and bricks are available throughout the Zoo and White River Gardens. To make a memorial gift or for more information, please contact James Negron, Donor Relations Coordinator, at 317-630-2049 or [email protected].
