Tributes and Commemorative Bricks

Tribute Fund

The Saint Louis Zoo Friends Tribute Fund provides a convenient and thoughtful way for you to celebrate a birthday, anniversary and special occasion or to remember a loved one.

With your gift, the honoree or designated person receives a card acknowledging your contribution. The card provides your name as a donor, but the amount of the gift is not indicated. You will receive a card acknowledging your gift, with amount indicated. This serves as a receipt for tax purposes. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Commemorative Brick Program

Another great way to support the Zoo is by dedicating a clay or bronze brick with your name. The bricks begin at $500 and make wonderful tributes, gifts and memorials for loved ones, children and grandchildren. All names will be honored in their own permanent display around the waterfall at the South Gate Plaza, but there's a limited number of spaces available, so don't wait too long.
