PLANNED GIVING

Since the Zoo's opening in 1934,we have set the global standard in animal care and conservation. And with an increasing need to protect the world’s threatened species and ecosystems, our mission to inspire conservation leadership by connecting people with wildlife and nature has never been more important.

Would you like to be part of this meaningful legacy? Through planned giving with Brookfield Zoo Chicago, you can.

Through planned giving, you may be able to structure a contribution that is larger than you ever thought possible. Did you know that, with proper planning, you may even increase the size of your estate while decreasing the tax burden your heirs will face?  Additionally, you can have the assurance your legacy will inspire generations to come as they experience a connection with wildlife and nature through the work of Brookfield Zoo Chicago.

Explore on these pages the many ways you can support future generations of conservation leaders.

Benefactors who support us through a bequest in their will or another type of planned gift become joined with other members of our Living Legacy group. If you have already remembered Brookfield Zoo Chicago in your estate plans, please let us know so we can thank you and ensure that your intentions are honored properly.
