Support Us
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Lehigh Valley Zoo depends upon the support of our community. When you make a gift to the Zoo, you help support one of the most vibrant wildlife conservation education institutions in the region. The Zoo is the one place where children are most likely to enjoy their first positive experience with nature. Thank you for your interest in supporting Lehigh Valley Zoo!
CONSERVATION GALA
Proceeds raised at our annual Conservation Gala, presented by Kay Builders, enhance the Zoo’s mission of inspiring connections with animals and protecting wildlife locally and around the world. Align your organization with the region’s leader in conservation education by supporting this event through sponsorship, donations or by attending this signature evening.
CORPORATE SPONSERSHIPS
Align your company with the Zoo and our conservation efforts while showcasing your brand to 230,000 annual guests through sponsorship of an animal habitat, education programming, signature event, marketing table or other custom program. Partnership components are tailored to your organization’s objectives and include the support of LV Zoo’s marketing team.
CAA CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Community support is needed for our $10 M fundraising goal to complete the Children’s Activity Area — a major, multi-phased project to reimagine the lower section of the zoo to provide guests more animal access, conservation education and enjoyment. Phase 1 is compete; and the Zoo aims to break ground on Phase 2, the Isaacman family Education Center, in the fall.
ANIMAL ARTWORK
It turns out that many of our animals are quite the artists! Support the Zoo by purchasing one-of-a-kind, colorful paintings and prints on original canvas or on items such as tumblers and keychains. Whether as a gift or for your personal collection, these pieces raise funds to help our artists and our conservation efforts for their fellow species members in the wild.
Commemorative Bricks
Help African Penguins get their waddle back! Purchasing a personalized commemorative brick for the Zoo’s Penguin Pathway will help support the Zoo’s wildlife conservation efforts and is a wonderful way to commemorate a birthday, anniversary, significant event, or to honor the memory of a loved one.
COMMEMORATIVE BENCHES
A commemorative bench at LV Zoo is a great way to memorialize, honor, or share as a meaningful gift, while supporting our animal residents. Perfect for honoring a loved one or newborn, as well as for birthdays, anniversaries or graduations. Proceeds help keep the zoo vibrant and provide a resting spot for guests as they participate in the joy and wonderment of wildlife.
