Supporting one of the largest zoos in the country, the Zoo Miami Foundation gives philanthropists a remarkably varied menu for making their mark. The most visceral entry point: capital support for new exhibits, where a donor's name becomes permanently woven into the physical landscape of the zoo. For those drawn to legacy, planned gifts through wills, trusts, qualified charitable distributions, and even stock or crypto donations keep conservation funded for generations. Family foundations can go further still. Zoo Miami actively seeks grant-making partners whose missions align with conservation and community outreach. They build programs collaboratively with those funders, treating them as architects, not just underwriters. Corporate philanthropists unlock employee volunteer days on zoo grounds, turning workplace giving into legacy. In all, the zoo is home to nearly 2,500 animals, protects endangered species, and runs educational programs reaching close to 500,000 people annually. This is where philanthropic dollars do something you can actually see, and hear, and feed; ZooMiami.org.
