We need your help.
Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
A majority of our operating funds come from paying guests and members.
The zoo closed effective Tuesday, March 17 to do our part to arrest the spread of COVID-19, just as we headed into what is our peak season.
Without guests, we have lost our largest and most important source of income.
Open or closed, Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo saves animals from extinction every day.
Our dedicated Animal Care staff will remain all hands on deck during this crisis to ensure the animals in our care are not negatively impacted.
At the same time, every day we are closed we are losing important funds that directly support our animals and their care team.
We are sensitive to the fact that our community’s needs are many at this time. We are so grateful to those that have asked how they can help.
If you are able, please consider a donation to our Emergency Fund to assist us in maintaining the highest quality animal care.
Your support is critical—now more than ever.
A gift of any amount makes a difference. Thank you, zoo friends.
