Elmwood Park Zoo offers many wonderful opportunities to pay tribute to loved ones or to commemorate special occasions. No matter what opportunity you choose, take comfort in knowing that your gift will make a significant impact on the zoo, the animals, and the guests that visit each day.
Pay tribute to a loved one that has passed by giving a gift to the Elmwood Park Zoo. The family of the departed will receive a sympathy card informing them of the donation (amount not disclosed). Additionally, the donor will receive an acknowledgement letter verifying that the family has been made aware of the donor’s generosity. Memorial Gifts can be given at any dollar amount. They are used to improve the zoo’s facilities and enhance the visitor experience.
Your planned gift is foremost a legacy; an expression of your passion, belief, and commitment to the future of Elmwood Park Zoo. Leaving a gift to the zoo is the best way to affirm your connection to the institution for years to come.
Giving a Merriment Gift is a thoughtful way to celebrate a birthday, wedding, anniversary, birth, graduation, or any special occasion. Your gift will be acknowledged with a letter informing the recipient that a donation (amount not disclosed) has been made in their honor. Merriment Gifts can be given at any dollar amount. They are used to improve the zoo’s facilities and enhance the visitor experience.
