Lehigh Valley Zoo depends upon the support of our community. When you make a gift to the Zoo, you help support one of the most vibrant wildlife conservation education institutions in the region. The Zoo is the one place where children are most likely to enjoy their first positive experience with nature. Thank you for your interest in supporting Lehigh Valley Zoo!
Sustain Our Mission
When you make a gift to Lehigh Valley Zoo, you are making a significant contribution to the community. Your tax deductible donation will help us continue to provide outstanding care for our animal collection and bring exceptional conservation education programs to the thousands of families and school children who visit the Zoo each year.
Monthly Giving Program
You can help our animals eat their veggies! Did you know that approximately $1,200 per day is directly related to Lehigh Valley Zoo’s animal care for the Zoo’s animal collection? By joining Lehigh Valley Zoo’s Monthly Giving Program you can help offset these costs by designating a set donation to be deducted from your credit card. You would be surprised how a small amount every month can add up in a big way for Lehigh Valley Zoo! The Monthly Giving Program is one of the “greenest” way to donate to the Zoo!
Memorial & Tribute Gifts
Tribute gifts are a thoughtful way to celebrate a birthday, wedding, new baby, graduation or any special occasion. They also serve as a special expression of sympathy by honoring the memory of a friend or relative. Your gift to Lehigh Valley Zoo will be acknowledged with a letter informing the recipient or their family that a donation has been made in their honor or memory (amount not disclosed).
