San Francisco Zoo Donation Requests

We are deeply committed to our community and proud to support it. We gladly accept requests for donations of admission tickets as a form of sponsorship for live and silent auctions, etc. Because we receive so many requests, we limit our donations to two admission tickets, a $30.00 value. We have a limited number of passes to give, thus the priority goes to Bay Area schools and other organizations related to our mission - to connect people with wildlife, inspire caring for nature and advance conservation action.

To be considered for a donation, please submit your request per the following guidelines:

Your request must be in writing on your organization's letterhead. Phone calls or e-mails will not be accepted as written submittals.

• Only non-profit organizations will be considered. Please include mailing address, contact name and phone number, and tax ID information/copy of 501(c)(3) letter.
• Include the date by which you need the donation.
• Include specific information about the event including the date, location, and the number of participants.
• Your request must be mailed with a stamped, self-addressed envelope included.
• We must receive your request a minimum of eight weeks in advance of the date you require them. Late submissions will not be accepted for review.
• Please mail your written request to:

If your request is approved, a pair of admission tickets will be mailed to you within four weeks of approving your written request.
