Donations

The John Ball Zoo always welcomes general donations or memorial donations in any amount. Funding for the various educational programs and special events as well as the daily operation of the Zoo Society can be a difficult thing to accomplish at times. However through generous contributions from donors we are better able to provide first rate programs.
