Contributions to the Oakland Zoo’s Annual Fund provide year-round ongoing financial support to ensure the health and well-being of all the animals at the Zoo and provide for education and outreach, conservation, and animal welfare programs. Please consider making a gift now to the Zoo’s Annual Fund, and add your name to the list of friends and families that we count as our closest partners.

Making a gift ‘in honor of’ or ‘in memory of’ allows you to recognize loved ones on special occasions or express condolences by honoring the memory of a friend or relative. The Oakland Zoo will send notification to the specified party letting them know of your donation (gift amount not disclosed), and we will send you a tax receipt for your files.

Vehicle donations are a hassle-free and easy way to give a tax-deductible contribution to the Oakland Zoo. Proceeds from the sale of your unwanted car, truck, or RV go directly towards the Zoo's mission of conservation and education.
