The Santa Barbara Zoo is home to more than 400 animals. Many species are endangered and their populations are dwindling in the wild. Your gift helps provide world-class care to all of the animals at the Santa Barbara Zoo.
For Our Zoo
For Our Community
At the heart of the Zoo’s mission is education. Your gift helps expand the hearts and minds of students of all ages through enriching hands-on experiences and engaging programs like Early Explorers Preschool.
For Our World
The Zoo participates in the Association of Zoos & Aquariums’ Saving Animals from Extinction (SAFE) program, which pools zoo community resources to focus on species most at risk, enhancing our field conservation efforts.
As the Zoo continues to grow and thrive, the need for your support grows too. Please consider making a gift today. Your gift matters…to our Zoo, to our community, and to our world.
When you donate $1,000 or more, you’ll receive an invitation for a donor tour so you can see your dollars at work!
Help build a better and wilder tomorrow by making a donation now.
