"I went to high school in the 30s at Francis W. Parker and often walked over to watch Bushman. Now I bring my grandkids to see the sights!" -Horace Jordan

 













A Chicago institution since 1868, Lincoln Park Zoo has introduced generations of families to the majesty of silverback gorillas, the grace of trumpeter swans and the playfulness of diving penguins. You can help preserve these wonders for future visitors by making a planned gift to Lincoln Park Zoo. Planned gifts can be made in a variety of ways, all of which help to keep the zoo free and open every day of the year.

Individuals and families who ensure the zoo's future by establishing planned gifts to the zoo as part of their estate or financial plan are eligible for the zoo’s Heritage Society. Heritage Society members enjoy zoo tours, insider information from Lincoln Park Zoo’s donor newsletter, invitations to private lectures and previews of upcoming exhibits and habitats.

For more information about how planned giving can benefit both the zoo and your family, contact Sean Scanlon at 312-742-2167 or sscanlon@lpzoo.org.
