In fact, more than 175 million people visit zoos across the U.S. every year, a figure that rivals attendance at major sporting events.

However, zoos cannot sustain their operating budgets on ticket sales alone. Over the years, fundraising for zoos has become increasingly critical. While some zoos are eligible for federal, state, or municipal funding, governmental monies are not as abundant as they used to be. Some zoos may be funded in part by donations from zoological societies, but in all cases the contributions of the public remain essential.

It’s undeniable that a zoo’s fundraising committee is critical to sustaining the facilities, animals, research, and livelihoods that are part of these places that provide both enjoyment and education. The need to fundraise at a time when so many different groups are competing for donor dollars means that only the most effective fundraising ideas will do.

To carry out a successful campaign, your campaign must

  • Connect in a meaningful way with people who value the zoo.
  • Achieve profitability to balance the effort put into it with the desired objective.
  • Be designed for long-term sustainability, so that previous donors can renew contributions and new donors can be added to the effort.

For example, brick pavers can be designed not only to show the names of donors, but also to depict a favorite zoo animal. This makes it easier for your fundraisers to engage the interest of families. It also ensures that your brick pavers can be incorporated into an attractive installation at the designated zoo site. You can even use themed brick pavers to inspire donors to form “Adopt-a-Zoo-Animal” teams and encourage a little friendly competition!
