Here are additional ways you can help:
Donate Now
If you are excited about the zoo and aquarium coming, please donate to help bring it here faster. DON'T WAIT! Waiting will only make it take longer for "our zoo" to get here. We have two ways for you to donate: once a year (now or as an annual donation) or once a month. Our donation platform will take care of the details, you just need to decide.
Please contact our development manager for donating for specific things or if the donation is larger than $500.
* Monthly donations allow you to make an affordable donation each month that can add up to a bigger impact over the course of the year.

SUPPORT
THE
SOCIETY
As a nonprofit, our survival and the future of the zoo and aquarium rests in your hands. We have taken the steps to get this effort started. Now we need you, your friends, and your neighbors help to complete it. There are many ways to help and below you will find several of them. Please contact development@nalzs.org with any questions or requests.
HELP WHILE YOU SHOP
Walmart Spark Good Round Up:
Customers shopping on Walmart.com or in the Walmart app can now round up their totals at the point of purchase to the nearest dollar and have the change donated to a charity of their choice. A Walmart customer will need to select a charity from which they will be prompted to round up to the charity on the review order screen.
Sign up online to support North Alabama Zoological Society (organization #BT154), and Kroger will donate to the zoo effort every time you use your Kroger card. If you don't have a Kroger rewards card, you may get one at the customer service desk at any Kroger. Click the icon below form more information.
