Colo Society donors are the driving force behind our animal husbandry, educational experiences, and global conservation work. This fund exists to ensure the sustainable co-existence of people and animals.
Support from people like you is what fills the gap between our earned revenue and the costs of providing an above-average experience for our animals and humans alike. Colo Society donors are, by definition, transformational donors to the Zoo, as their namesake Colo was a transformational animal to our organization and to the animal world as a whole. Donors like you have a similar impact when they join Colo Society.
Our favorite way to thank our Colo Society donors for their 100% tax deductible - and 100% impactful - donations is with year-long complimentary admission, which ensures they can see the fruits of their generosity in each season. We also invite Colo Society donors to special events rooted in education, personal animal encounters, and getting face-to-face with real-life conservationists that are making the donor's passion for animals their lives' missions. Everyone in Colo Society is provided a staff liaison to further connect with the Zoo animals and programs they care about and plan customized Zoo visits.
The Zoo is only a world-class institution because of the generous support of our members, donors, guests, neighbors, and community. Your partnership helps shape the future of the Zoo, guarantees an educational and welcoming environment for our guests, and ensures our animals are happy and healthy. Make a difference today by joining Colo Society: every donation translates into a real, lasting impact on your Zoo and the animal world as a whole.
