Become a Donor
“Our staff was touched and so grateful that these generous and talented people selflessly gave their time and efforts to help us. The response teams cheered and supported the staff, which meant so much. Astonishingly, all of this was provided at no cost to us, enabling us to channel more funds into the staggering recovery costs.”

ZDR3 donors ensure compassionate assistance flows from zoological facilities eager to take care of their own. If you would like to become a donor, you have two options:
-
General Donation
General fund donations help support critical ZDR3 operations that allow us to maintain year-round disaster response readiness. Your generosity assists us in building and maintaining the ZDR3 Response Network, gathering information and inputting data, planning and preparing, training responders, traveling to coordinate responses, and much more.
-
Specific Incident
Specific response donations allow you to support a current response that is meaningful to you. To earmark a contribution for a specific response, please include its name in your check’s notes section (for instance, “Hurricane Ian Fund”). Please note: at the completion of a response, any unspent earmarked funds will roll over into the General Donation fund, ensuring all donations make a lasting impact.
ZDR3 is a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code, making all donations eligible for tax deductions.
