Planned Giving
Make Wildlife a Part of Your Legacy
Did you know there are many ways to support Zoo Miami Foundation? Legacy giving techniques are called "planned gifts," because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and your loved ones, and Zoo Miami Foundation.
A well-planned gift communicates your legacy; it tells a story of what you hold as most important and valuable in your life and community. Leaving a gift to the Zoo Miami Foundation through your will or trust is an easy and impactful way to benefit education and conservation efforts for years to come. Zoo Miami Foundation is the independent fundraising agent of Zoo Miami and is the preferred designee for estate gifts.
