Giving a Tribute Gift

For someone in your life who shares a special connection to the Minnesota Zoo, there is no greater gift than making a donation in their name. Tribute gifts are the perfect way to honor them while supporting the Zoo’s mission. 

The Minnesota Zoo Foundation offers multiple types of tribute gifts: 

• Animal sponsorships are a great way to honor a loved one on their birthday, anniversary, or just because! The recipient will receive a certificate of sponsorship, updates on their sponsored animal throughout the year, and more.

• A memorial gift in honor of a departed loved one helps the Zoo connect people, animals, and the natural world. Make your memorial gift online or contact us for more giving options.

• Major gifts can honor the memory of a loved one by making a specific impact and helping secure the Zoo’s mission for generations to come.

Your special gift today provides critical funding and resources that support and scale the impact of the Zoo’s work — helping us save wildlife for tomorrow.
