The Leadership Society is the Zoo’s way of thanking its most generous supporters and bringing members even closer to the life of the Zoo. As a Leadership Society donor, you support our daily commitment to animal care, enrichment programming, wildlife conservation, education and research initiatives across our community and beyond.
Leadership Society donors are the cornerstone of this institution, helping ensure that there will always be a Virginia Zoo for our children and community. Your annual gift of $1,000 or more makes a profound impact on the Zoo’s day-to-day activities and, ultimately, its future.
Supporting the Leadership Society includes all of these benefits:
* Tangible benefits may be declined to allow for a fully tax-deductible contribution. Benefits and admission tickets may also be waived or donated as certificates for charity auction/school events at the donor’s request.
For more information, call 757.441.2374 (220) or email the Development Director, Angela Benard.
