San Antonio Zoo is home to thousands of animals from fish to mammals to birds to reptiles and everything in between.  Due to COVID-19 the zoo is closed to traditional visitors.  As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the zoo relies 100% on donations, ticket sales, guest visits and grants to operate the zoo and continue our mission of securing a future for wildlife.  This includes exceptional animal care as well as education programming and research and conservation locally and globally. 

With the zoo being closed to traditional or steady income streams, the zoo needs donations more than ever to continue to care for the beloved animals. It costs almost $500,000 a week to operate the zoo, and our road to recovery will be a long one.

Please join me and donate to San Antonio Zoo Emergency Fund to assist in the care of our animals and team members during this temporary closure. Your support is more critical now than it has been in the zoo’s entire 106-year history.  

Together we can keep the animals and their care staff thriving.  They need us like never before!

Thank You,

Savannah Pearson
