Support the Oregon Zoo and help create a better future for all

A northwest icon, Oregon Zoo welcomes approximately 1.5 million visitors through its gates each year, making it the most-visited paid attraction in the state. The zoo connects visitors with wildlife and nature, inspiring people to take action to save species and protect the planet.

There are two ways to partner with the Oregon Zoo: philanthropic giving to support our mission, or marketing sponsorships to align your brand with a beloved community institution. 

Philanthropic Impact

Program-specific partnerships give companies and organizations the chance to support areas that align with their philanthropic goals. Focus areas such as education, conservation, sustainability, animal care, and community access all play a vital role in advancing the Oregon Zoo’s mission to save wildlife.
