GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
The Oklahoma Zoological Society relies on the generousity of its members, parents, grandparents, and friends to ensure the Oklahoma City Zoo remains one of the premier places connecting people to our world's vanishing wildlife and wild places.
It is through the loyal contributions from members of our community that the Oklahoma City Zoo can maintain the level of zoological excellence that has been synonymous with the Oklahoma Zoological Society since its founding in 1954. These generous gifts make a vital impact alongside the Zoo in advancing the experience members and visitors enjoy and connecting guests to wildlife, nature and the environment.
