What is the Circle of Life Society?
The Minnesota Zoo’s Circle of Life Society honors and thanks individuals today for the support they will provide in the future through their estates or other planned gifts. This long-term support has helped us improve Zoo exhibits and facilities while supporting conservation and education activities around the world. As a member of the Circle of Life Society, your gifts sustain and strengthen the Zoo for future generations!
If you would like more information about the Circle of Life Society or have already remembered the Minnesota Zoo in your estate plans, please contact Office of Planned Giving at 952.431.9237 or plannedgiving@mnzoo.org.
