Heritage Society

The Heritage Society

The Heritage Society is a special group of friends of Lincoln Park Zoo who have included the zoo in their estate or financial plans. As a member of the Society, you will receive an invitation to the annual luncheon for members of the Society, private lectures and other special events, and previews of upcoming exhibits and habitats. You will also enjoy special zoo tours and insider information from Lincoln Park Zoo’s donor newsletter.

If you have included the zoo in your plans, it would be our pleasure to welcome you to the Heritage Society. Simply complete the Heritage Society Intent form and send it to the Planned Giving office. And, of course, you may always choose to join and remain anonymous.
