The mission

What this organization describes

Our mission is to foster community pride and involvement with Zoo Miami and secure financial support for the zoo.

Zoo Miami Foundation (ZMF) is the non-profit support organization for Zoo Miami. Zoo Miami Foundation was founded in 1956. Its Board of Directors includes community leaders in Miami-Dade and Broward counties who are committed to the education, conservation and recreation goals of Zoo Miami. While Miami-Dade County operates and maintains the Zoo, Zoo Miami Foundation, backed by its strong membership, supports Zoo Miami's programs and special capital enhancements. Zoo Miami Foundation also operates key educational programs and contributes to global and local conservation initiatives. Through the generosity of our vital philanthropic partners, ZMF engages community members of all ages in programs that include our Conservation Teen Scientists, adult volunteers, Zoo to You outreach, and Nature Play that engages families in outdoor adventures and skill building. In 2018, ZMF volunteers contributed over 49,000 hours to Zoo Miami.
