Animal Sponsorship for Classrooms and Other Groups

Your classroom, Girl Scout Troop, 4-H Club, alumni group, or any other group or organization can sponsor an animal at the Minnesota Zoo. Your group will get a fun sponsorship package, and your donation will help us provide the best possible care for all of our animals.

Many teachers have incorporated an animal sponsorship into their lesson plans, even tying the sponsorship with a field trip to the Zoo. Alumni groups, student councils, and honor societies sponsor their school’s mascot. Youth groups use animal sponsorship as one of their service projects. The possibilities are endless!
