Working with our partners at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory, we work to fulfill 10 such donations each month, giving special consideration to the organizations that fit the criteria below:

  • Similar Mission:
    The mission of the Zoo and Conservatory is to inspire our public to value the presence of living things in our lives.
  • Partner Organization:
    Como Friends and Como Park Zoo & Conservatory work with many partner nonprofits. If your organization has a relationship with Como, your request will receive a higher priority.
