Annual Appeal
Funding Projects
Every year, the Zoological Society raises funds for a project that will support our mission to conserve, educate and support the Milwaukee County Zoo. Capital projects support exhibits, improving visitor engagement and animal enrichment experiences. Conservation or education projects build empathy for wildlife and inspire conservation action. All projects support our mission and partnership with the Milwaukee County Zoo. This is an opportunity for supporters to donate in any amount and see the direct result of their giving.

2023 APPEAL
Rhin-opolis: Build a Home for Rhinos
Designs are taking shape and now we need to get shovels in the ground for a couple of new habitats at the Zoo. We are hoping to complete the last leg of Adventure Africa and create a new indoor and outdoor home for the rhinos and a new indoor habitat for hippos.
Please help us:
Please consider a gift to create a stomping ground for the rhinos and make this exciting endeavor a reality!
Donate today!

Thanks for your support!
