Act for Wildlife: Conservation Fund

Since 2013, the Virginia Zoo’s Conservation Fund has provided funds to support research, education and saving endangered animals. Generous donations from the Virginia Zoological Society, Zoo members, guests and donors help us support the protection of wildlife and wild places at home and around the world through scientific research, education, breeding programs, anti-poaching efforts and other programs.

Round Up Program

In fall 2025, we initiated our Round Up Program at all registers in our Gift Shop and food service locations. Now, with every purchase made at the Virginia Zoo, you can support wildlife conservation by rounding up your total to the nearest dollar. Together, smaller donations can make a BIG impact! Plus, we plan to support different conservation initiatives each quarter, so you can spread the love across species and habitats.
