Where it goes

What your donation pays for

Your donation will help grow and develop the Little Rock Zoo by providing much-needed funding in three areas.

New habitat design & construction

The single largest use of Foundation money, and the one that changes an animal's daily life most.

General Zoo improvements

Barns, holding areas, pathways, shade, infrastructure — the practical work that keeps the Zoo safe and comfortable.

Conservation education

Programs that reach school groups and families across Arkansas with the Zoo's conservation message.

Places like the Arkansas Heritage Farm exist because donors chose to fund them.
Planned & estate giving

Make a lasting impact for generations to come.

Interested in making a planned estate gift or another form of major gift? Give us a call at 501-661-7208. We are happy to discuss how you can make a lasting impact for generations to come.

Planned gifts — bequests, beneficiary designations, gifts of stock or property — are how some of the most significant support for the Zoo has arrived. They also tend to be the gifts people think hardest about, so we would rather have that conversation properly than point you at a form.

There is no obligation in calling, and nothing you have to decide on the phone.

Another way to give

Leave something permanent at the Zoo

Support the Zoo's mission of conservation learning while celebrating someone special with a sponsored brick, bench or tree.
