Connecting People with Wildlife to Inspire Conservation Action

Each year, thousands of children make the San Francisco Zoo their destination for the best field trip, camp in the “wild” and participate in a variety of educational outreach programs. Additionally, more than 11,100 children and adults hear presentations made possible by the ZooMobile — some of whom are from low-income families or live in underserved communities.

You can make a tax deductible annual gift to the San Francisco Zoological Society with a cash donation, securities or by credit card. We invite you to consider a range of individual involvement — and remember that gifts of any size make a big difference.
