With Your Support, Our Community Takes Action to Protect Wildlife and Wild Places

Your Impact Through the Zoo Fund
Your generosity brings the Virginia Zoo’s mission to life—supporting animal conservation, educating learners of all ages, and creating meaningful moments for every visitor who walks through our gates.

What Your Gift Makes Possible
Because of you, the Zoo can deliver exceptional animal care, hands‑on education, and inspiring conservation experiences—bridging the gap between admission revenue and what it truly takes to serve our community well.

Who You Help—and How
Your support benefits the animals we care for, the families and students we welcome, and our entire community—fostering curiosity, compassion, and a lifelong connection to wildlife close to home.

Because of you, the more than 700 animals that call the Zoo home receive exceptional care—while conservation efforts extend to protect their wild relatives beyond our gates.

Your generosity creates meaningful experiences that bring families together, inspire students, advance conservation, and spark a lifelong love for wildlife. By giving today, you help educate and empower the next generation of wildlife champions in our community.

If you have any questions about your donation or would like to dedicate your gift to someone else, please reach out to the Development department at 757-441-2374 ext. 226 or [email protected].
