The Many Ways of Giving

The Houston Zoo spends nearly $14 for evey individual who walks through its gates. Since admission prices are far less than this, the 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.

Why support the Houston Zoo?

As the only non-profit, privately funded zoological park in the Texas Gulf Coast area, the Houston Zoo relies exclusively on guests, members, and donors to provide annual operating revenue and capital support. Donors play a crucial role in the success of the Houston Zoo's education and animal care programs, global field projects, and local conservation initiatives.

By supporting the Houston Zoo, you support one of the most important and effective cultural, educational, and conservation organizations in the region. The Zoo has touched and changed millions of lives through its programs, school and family activities, events, and outreach programs and has gained international respect with its reputation for conservation and research work with endangered species. And, we have only just begun; there is so much more to come.
