Plan a memorial or tribute to your loved one. All gift sizes are accepted.

Donate Today

This 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.
