The Oklahoma Zoological Society was created to support and promote the Oklahoma City Zoo and its mission to be Oklahoma’s premier destination connecting people and our world’s vanishing wildlife and wild places. There are several ways for you to help!
A gift to the ZOOfriends general donation fund helps us focus on providing support for our highest priority needs and programs. Every gift makes a difference! Thank you for your support.

The Zoo works with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and other wildlife institutions to participate in Species Survival Plans (SSP). SSPs are a collective effort from these institutions to ensure the survivability of species from around the world. Through breeding programs and population management, SSPs seek to establish healthy, self-sustaining animal populations that are genetically diverse and demographically stable. Currently the Oklahoma City Zoo is working with 54 endangered or threatened species and 45 SSPs.

Planned gifts include gifts through your will, charitable gift annuities, gifts of life insurance, pooled income funds and charitable trusts. Plus, planned gifts provide enhanced tax benefits and some return income to you, the donor.
