Explore Opportunities to Support the Zoo!
Annual Fund Campaign
Believe it or not, zoo industry trends are shifting — becoming more and more focused on the animals rather than the visitors. At the Saginaw Children’s Zoo, we’ve always made our animals the top priority, knowing that — when we do — we also best serve visitors.
Our continuously improving exhibits are the result of rigorous research and development, ensuring a rich environment best suited for each animal. The day-to-day care of our animal friends is only possible through your continuous support.

Matching Gifts
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their empolyees. That means the impact of your gift to the Saginaw Children’s Zoo may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please click the link below and enter your employer’s name.
If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest.
Memorial Gifts
Honor a loved one with a memorial gift to the Saginaw Children’s Zoo. Gifts made in memory of an individual and their family are a thoughtful way to help sustain a legacy while supporting the Zoo in a caring, thoughtful way.
Please provide the full name of the person being honored and as well as the name and address of the family to be notified for this gift. We will send a letter informing the family of your generosity.
