ZOOfund for Kids
Give to the fund that provides educational opportunities at the Zoo for underprivileged children who would not otherwise be able to afford them. OZS awards scholarships to schools and organizations to help defray the cost of Oklahoma City Zoo education classes and activities so that any person, regardless of ability to pay, is given the opportunity to have an exciting and memorable conservation education experience. ZOOfund for Kids has reached more than 380,000 participants since its inception in 1997.

Species Survival Plan
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.
