Brights Zoo is a proud supporter of several important conservation organizations that protect wildlife and their natural environment. The zoo frequently donates money to these organizations and holds fundraisers with proceeds going to aid these conservation groups. Below are some institutions that Brights Zoo contributes to based on their dedication to animal conservation and management efforts.
Each year Brights Zoo donates thousands of dollars to different conservation efforts.

If your at the zoo we keep multiple donation boxes out that guests can put money in. If you prefer to do so online we do have different levels of donation available.
