When you add Woodland Park Zoo to your will or estate plans, you become a member of a very special donor group called the LionHearts Society. 

While some LionHearts Society members choose to remain anonymous, with your permission, we will recognize your name among the growing number of LionHearts Society members who have provided for future gifts to the zoo and who, by example, encourage others to take this important step.

As a member of the LionHearts Society you receive the following benefits:

  • Recognition in our annual report;
  • invitation to our annual LionHearts Society event as well as other exclusive LionHearts invitations throughout the year; 
  • LionHearts Society membership pin;
  • quarterly insider updates on what is happening at Woodland Park Zoo;
  • invitations to exhibit openings and other special preview events at the zoo; and
  • a personalized certificate in honor of your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Please contact us to let us know about any gift intention already in place, and we will make sure you start receiving your LionHearts Society membership benefits today.

Documenting your planned gift is another way you can help Woodland Park Zoo. Planned gifts count towards zoo campaigns, and when you let us know more about your gift, you will also receive a personalized animal experience. Please contact our Planned Giving Officer, Alex Kerl, at 206.548.2437 or alex.kerl@zoo.org to learn more about planned gift documentation.
