Colorado Gives Day 2025 is live! Help us provide the best Veterinary Care for our animals!
At DZCA, we proudly hold ourselves to the highest standards of veterinary care, because our animals deserve nothing but the best. However, our dedication to excellence comes at a high price. Medicine and hospital equipment costs over $ 367,000 per year. Just like humans, animals require routine preventative care as well as diagnosis and treatment of disease. Your financial support allows us to continue to do all that and more for our beloved residents.
All donations made through the Colorado Gives Day website go further, thanks to the Colorado Gives Day incentive fund! Plus, a generous donor, Susie Gordon-Lathrop, has agreed to give an additional $50* for every gift made throughout November!
Give early for your chance to win! If you donate between November 1–November 30, you’ll automatically be entered to win an incredible, behind-the-scenes tour, hosted by our head veterinarian, of the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Animal Hospital for you and 5 guests, plus lunch and DZCA swag! Get a firsthand look at world-class Veterinary care in action, right here at DZCA.

Background Statement
Founded in 1896, Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance (DZCA) was part of the City of Denver Parks & Recreation Department until July 1956 when the city and DZCA established a public/private partnership giving operation, management, and fundraising responsibilities to the non-profit Foundation that is governed by an elected board of trustees.
DZCA reaches approximately 2 million people through on-grounds attendance and outreach programs. In addition, we have over 65,000 member households.
DZCA was awarded The Association of Zoos and Aquariums' inaugural Green Award, ranking the Zoo as the greenest zoo in the country for its outstanding sustainability practices. The Zoo was recognized for leading efforts in sustainability through its Sustainable Management System, which provides an institutional-wide framework to identify, implement, measure, report, and improve operations to reduce the Zoo's environmental impact.
