Lincoln Park Zoo

Gifts to the zoo’s Annual Fund keep Lincoln Park Zoo free and open to our 3
million visitors, 365 days a year. The impact of these gifts reaches every part
of the zoo, from feeding, housing and caring for animals to making possible
groundbreaking research, educational programs for kids and conservation
projects at home and abroad.

Learn About Priority Projects

Every year, Lincoln Park Zoo has a select number of projects that require special support to expand the zoo’s wildlife conservation and education efforts. These priority projects provide donors with a unique connection to the zoo’s behind-the-scenes work. Support opportunities begin at $5,000.

Make a lasting tribute with an honor or memorial gift. A dedication plaque will be placed in your choice of available locations throughout the zoo. A variety of giving levels help us create and maintain your living legacy.

The Heritage Society honors those who ensure Lincoln Park Zoo's future by planning gifts to the zoo as part of their estate or financial plan.
