LEAVE YOUR MARK
The Zoo Society fosters the relationship between Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and our community by raising funds and generating community support.
The Zoo Society supports the mission of PDZA by providing financial and in-kind resources for the Zoo’s recreation, education and conservation programs, its animal collections, and permanent and temporary exhibitions.
OUR FOCUS
Gifts designated to Education efforts support programs to connect the community to animals and nature.
Gifts designated to the general conservation fund support many initiatives managed by a committee focused on Species Survival Plans, environmental and more.
Gifts designated to this fund will support the needs of the animal ambassadors living here at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.
Gifts designated to Tiger Conservation will support anti-poaching patrols, community education efforts in Sumatra, as well as continuing the Species Survival Plan for this species.
Gifts designated to Shark Conservation will support the protection of sharks worldwide through local and international conservation projects and innovative education programs.
Gifts designated to this fund support a variety of projects, animals, operational support and any other needs that arise outside of the budgeted expenditures of Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Education is a key factor in the conservation process. The Zoo Society creates space for educational opportunities within the Zoo through interactive exhibits and live presentations. We aim to provide these moments for all visitors of the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.
