Building a Brighter Future.
Riverbanks Zoo and Garden has embarked on the single largest expansion of its 40-year history—Destination Riverbanks. Please join us as we build a brighter future that will benefit our community, strengthen the local economy and continue to enhance our quality of life. With a goal of reaching $4 million, we can ensure that our children and grandchildren will continue to have opportunities to connect with wildlife and wild places for years to come.
Riverbanks is a powerful economic driver. For every dollar invested, more than four dollars is pumped back into our local economy. Your generous gift is an investment in the future of our children, the animals and our community. All donors will be recognized in Riverbanks magazine. For a tax-deductible donation of $1,000 and up, your name will be included on an honor roll at the exhibit of your choice. Contributions of $2,500 and above will be recognized on an attractive donor wall at the exhibit of your choice; the size of the recognition will correspond to your giving level.
Established in 1976 by a group of concerned citizens, Riverbanks Society started out with a base of 200 members and has grown far beyond expectations with more than 30,000 member households representing 140,000 individuals, making it one of the largest nonprofit zoo societies per capita in the United States. Members and donors provide important resources for the research, education and conservation efforts of the Zoo and Garden, strengthening Riverbanks’ position as a world-class zoo and leader in wildlife conservation.
