Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens Wild Magazine Summer 2023
Introducing Philanthropy
It comes as a surprise to many that we are a non-profit organization. With our mission of “connecting communities with wildlife and wild places” we have staff dedicated to achieving this mission through fund raising efforts. With many exciting changes on the horizon, we have decided to integrate the word "philanthropy" into our fund raising department. The word itself means "love of humanity" and we believe that caring for our world and all species is integral to humankind. The friendly faces of our Philanthropy team have distinct roles in moving the future of our organization forward. We love to talk with Members about their passion for the Zoo, so feel free to say hello when you see us!
