"Many of us would like to make a difference, to leave the world a better place. With gift planning, it's possible to make a lasting impact on behalf of something you really believe in."
— Virginia Benjamin, Partner, Calfee Halter
ZooFutures Planned Giving Committee Chair
The Cleveland Zoological Society strives to advance our Zoo — already one of the region's preeminent destinations — to the top tier of zoos in the nation. With contributions from members and friends, the Zoo is continually improving. While annual support is essential, it is not sufficient to guarantee the Zoo a leadership role as a global conservation center. The ZooFutures Endowment Fund is vital for the Zoo to achieve its potential as a center for wildlife conservation and as a premier destination for affordable family fun.
Charter Membership in ZooFutures recognizes those donors who are dedicated to preserving wildlife for future generations and continuing the vital partnership between our community and our Zoo.
Membership in ZooFutures is open to anyone who invests in the future of the Cleveland Zoological Society through a planned gift. Individuals may designate gifts for a specific purpose or offer broad support through the Endowment Fund.
A full array of planned giving vehicles is available to you when you make a gift to the Cleveland Zoological Society, including bequests, trusts and charitable gift annuities. Many of these instruments offer you immediate as well as long-term tax benefits, together with the assurance that your charitable priorities will be perpetuated by an organization whose mission you share. Gifts may be given in the form of cash, appreciated securities, real estate, insurance policies or other property. Making a gift through ZooFutures is an outstanding way to plan for the Cleveland Zoological Society's future along with your own.
You are invited to create your own legacy through ZooFutures. Charter members of ZooFutures will receive recognition on Zoo grounds and invitations to special appreciation events. For more information, please contact the Development Office.
When naming the Zoo in your plans, please use our legally incorporated name - the Cleveland Zoological Society. Our Federal Tax ID# is 34-0816490.
