Become a Wildlife Champion
Every visit to the zoo sparks curiosity, but as a Wildlife Champion, your impact goes far beyond the front gate.
The San Antonio Zoo is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, relying on the generosity of supporters like yourself. Your contributions don’t just help us operate; they ensure every animal in our care receives exceptional, world-class care.
But your impact reaches even further. Your support helps us build new habitats, advance conservation efforts, and protect wildlife both here in our community and around the globe. Every gift plays a role in securing a future for Wildlife.
As a Wildlife Champion, your membership becomes a powerful act of conservation. You help protect endangered species, like our lowland Gorillas and many more, while supporting critical wildlife care, and inspire future generations to Love, Engage, Act, and Protect the natural world.
Becoming a Wildlife Champion has some memorable perks too! You’ll enjoy all the premium benefits listed below – PLUS enhanced perks based on your level of support: Ambassador, Protector, or Conservator.
