About Donor Club Memberships
Donor club memberships let you experience the Zoo as an "insider" and receive great benefits. Your investment helps the Zoo advance its mission of animals, education and conservation today, and for generations to come.
Members, Keepers, Curators and Directors Clubs
All zoos require members, keepers, curators and directors to operate. These donor clubs at the Columbus Zoo are named to honor the importance of these roles.
Colo Club
Named for first gorilla born in captivity, Colo Club is the Zoo’s premier membership society, honoring those who make unrestricted gifts of $1,000 or more. Colo put us on the map—your membership in the Colo Club will help us stay there.
