No matter how you contribute to your Detroit Zoo, you make a difference!
Four terrific ways you can donate to the Zoo...
- Give to the Annual Fund
A donation to the Annual Fund is simply that, a donation. The contributions we receive from the Annual Fund provide general operating support.
- Become a member of Renaissance Circle Renaissance Circle members uphold a tradition of private philanthropy that gave the Zoo its start in 1928 and continue to be instrumental in the Zoo's success today. This is an annual membership that includes special opportunities and benefits. To learn more, please visit www.detroitzoo.org or contact Erika Jones at ejones@dzs.org or call (248) 541-5717 ext. 3729.
- Host a third-party fundraiser During the year, many people both young and old donate to the Zoo from fundraisers they have hosted themselves. Bottle drives, birthday party donations, penny drives and charity of choice for elementary schools are just a few creative ways you can give back.
4. Make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime!
You can make an important gift that leaves your current cash flow and financial planning unchanged. Your gift will ensure that future generations will experience the same wonder and excitement as the first Zoo visitors felt over 80 years ago. To discuss a gift contact Alice Elwood, (248) 541-5717 ext. 3704.
The common ground of giving to your Detroit Zoological
Society is simple, for the love of our animals and the continued investment in our future. Each dollar raised makes a big difference in the lives of the animals that call the Detroit Zoo and Belle Isle Nature Zoo home and in the community we serve.

The Detroit Zoo's Lions
Need a New Home
In July 1928, the lions' den was completed, five months after Detroit Zoo
construction began.
Now, modifications are needed to provide more space for the lions, as well as allow visitors closer viewing. Plans include:
- Glass viewing panels along the front of the habitat to allow guests and lions
to see nose to nose
- Filling the moat to give the lions more room
- New landscaping in the lions' habitat and in the guests' viewing area
It's time for the Zoo's lions to get a long-overdue home makeover. But, it will cost $1,000,000 to build this new home for the lions. If you would like to help, please send your tax-deductible donation to:
