Each year, we ask friends like you to make a donation to the Detroit Zoological Society's Annual Fund Campaign. Why? Because every dollar raised makes a significant difference each day... for our animal residents and for our community.

Making a donation to the Annual Fund Campaign will continue to enhance both your Detroit Zoo and Belle Isle Nature Zoo for more than 3,800 animals representing 285 species as well as for our nearly 1.2 million annual visitors. The support we receive provides the very best in animal care/welfare, conservation initiatives and educational programs...not to mention making extraordinary memories with family and friends that last a lifetime!

As you reflect upon the photos of years past and of today, you will see that for nearly 85 years, we have been a unique and integral part of our community and the lives of millions of families. For that we are honored and grateful. We have much more to accomplish. Celebrating and Saving Wildlife is not only our mission but a daily priority, and we cannot do it without you!

Please make a generous donation to the Annual Fund Campaign. Your gift will put another smile on a face and make another memorable experience that may even be cherished in your own photo album (or digital frame) for years to come.

Your support does make a real difference!
