DONATIONS
Supporting your Montgomery Zoo is easy. Contributions can be made in the way of financial gifts, or by donation of products and services. The Montgomery Zoo relies heavily on the generosity of the community to sponsor the various events and activities held here at the zoo.

Adoptions. Be a Momma to a Monkey, or a Papa to a Rhino! But don't worry - we'll do the baby-sitting! Animal adoptions make unique gifts for any occasion! They are special for both adoptee and recipient. There is a perfect match for anyone. Simply use your imagination and surprise someone special with a gift that is like no other!

Brick pavers. Make a lasting impression! Leave your mark! Put the name of a loved one on a Brick Paver in the Brick Plaza Entrance of the City of Montgomery Zoo. Each brick is 4" X 8" and is inscribed with your name or message. Simply print out the attached form and send it to the zoo along with your payment. What better way to permanently recognize your loved ones?

Corporate donations. Why affiliate with The Montgomery Zoo? Affiliation with the Montgomery Zoo is good business.

In addition, community involvement can lead to an increase in consumer loyalty.

A recent national survey on cause-related marketing concluded that 60% of consumers say they would purchase from companies that support a cause in which they believe in, price and quality being equal. Of those surveyed, 84% believe that cause-related marketing creates a positive company image. In addition, 78% commented that they would be more likely to purchase a product that supports a cause they care about.
