MISSION & PROGRAMS

The Cleveland Zoological Society (Zoo Society) is the proud philanthropic partner of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Since 1998, Zoo Society donors have contributed more than $100 million toward Zoo operations, programs and capital improvements. In addition to projects in Cleveland, the Zoo Society contributes more than $500,000 annually to support the Zoo’s international conservation program, working to secure a future for wildlife around the world. We also maintain the largest membership program in Northeast Ohio (over 40,000 households). Several membership levels exist, from individual and family to VIP annual donors. Exclusive experiences invite Zoo Society members, donors and partners to see the Zoo in new ways throughout the year.

FUNDRAISING

Currently, the Zoo Society is fundraising for the next phase of Primate Forest, the largest capital project in Cleveland Metroparks history, which will transform the Zoo experience for guests and provide a new home for many iconic Zoo species.
