Be a Friend to Como Zoo’s Animals
Sponsoring an animal is a unique way to connect with conservation efforts at home and around the world.
Your donations support progressive new habitats like Gorilla Forest and our new Giraffe Feeding Station, and help to pay for best practice animal care at Como, one of the select zoos around the country to achieve the high accreditation standards of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Sponsor an animal by filling out the form below or calling 651-487-8229.
Sponsorship packages include an animal plush for an animal sponsorship or a set of conservatory note cards for garden sponsorships, a certificate of sponsorship and a fact sheet. Sponsorship packages make great gifts for any occasion. Please allow 10 days for processing and delivery.
Please indicate on the form if you wish to have your gift be fully tax-deductible by waiving benefits and we will not send the sponsorship package (note cards or plush animal).
If you are looking to fundraise as a school group or classroom, learn more about our group sponsorship program here.
