The Zoo gives back to the Philadelphia region through its conservation granting program

In honor of the 150th anniversary of the Zoo’s charter, we're giving back to our community in a number of ways, including shifting our international granting program to support locally-based environmental programs in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware tri-state area. Eligible programs focus on individual or group efforts that address one or more of the following focal areas:

  • Wildlife conservation
  • Environmental protection
  • Sustainability
  • Greening initiatives
  • Open space
  • Conservation education
  • Environmental awareness

Preference has been given to projects in the Philadelphia region, but more widely distributed initiatives within the tri-state area have also been considered. Fifteen grants for up to $1,500 each were awarded.
