Honor and Memorial
Plan a memorial or tribute to your loved one. All gift sizes are accepted.
Donate TodayThis program can honor all the important occasions that fill our lives such as birthdays, marriages, anniversaries, graduations, retirements, and memorials. These contributions support the Cleveland Zoo Society’s Zoo Fund.
When you make a memorial or honor donation you will receive a receipt acknowledging your gift. If you choose, we will also send a letter to the individual(s) being honored or a family member of your loved one who has passed, informing them of your gift but keeping the amount of your gift confidential.
If you want to direct family and friends to make gifts to the Cleveland Zoological Society, the following is suggested wording for an obituary:
In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to the Cleveland Zoological Society in memory of {deceased name}, Cleveland Zoological Society, 3900 Wildlife Way, Cleveland, OH 44109 or online at ClevelandZooSociety.org/memorial.
Includes a sign with your loved one’s name on it at the animal habitat of your choice (see list below). All placements are based on availability and exact location at each habitat will be selected by our staff.
This sign will remain at the habitat you choose for 10 years; at which time you may renew your gift or receive the sign as a memento.
