Animal Sponsorship

Groups and organizations are offered the exclusive opportunity to sponsor an animal habitat at Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. These annual sponsorships help provide the highest quality of care and nutrition to more than 2,000 animals who call our Zoo home. Your sponsorship shows your commitment to wildlife care and conservation, here in our backyard and around the globe!
