The Annual Giving program at the Blank Park Zoo is synonymous with its daily operational budget. The Zoo’s educational services, maintenance, conservation programs, and animal care are underwritten by the generous gifts made by members of the community. Did you know there are 183 different animal species and over 2,800 animals living at the Zoo? Maintaining quality animal care and providing unique guest experiences is the Zoo’s number one priority, and every single gift helps make that possible.
