December 2 All day

TODAY is Giving Tuesday, or Giving ZooDay, as we like to call it in the animal kingdom. 😉

This Giving ZooDay, help us raise $5,000 in 24 hours! On Giving ZooDay, you’re not just a donor, you’re a superhero for wildlife! You’re stepping up to shield endangered species, nurture the next generation of planet caretakers, and support a cherished local treasure. Together, we can help our wildest pals flourish! Giving Zoo Day is all about kindness, community, and giving back. At the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk, the care for over 700 animals never hits pause. Every donation, big or small, turbocharges the Zoo Fund, ensuring top notch animal care, fun enrichment, expert veterinary support, habitat upkeep, and vital conservation efforts.  A huge thank-you for fueling the Virginia Zoo’s mission.

Every dollar given today will go towards things like:

  • ​Nurture and protect more than 700 animals
  • ​Inspire and educate thousands of children
  • Lead vital conservation efforts locally and globally
  • Build a more sustainable future for wildlife
  • ​New enrichment toys and training tools
  • Habitat improvements
  • Medical supplies for our Animal Wellness Campus
  • Conservation work that protects species worldwide
