You help shape our story. Let’s build what comes next—TOGETHER!
Thanks to your generosity through membership and donations, Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is thriving—creating memorable moments of wonder, protecting endangered species, and inspiring action in our community and beyond. We are truly grateful for the impact you make every single day.
With your support, together we:
- Care for over 3,000 animals in all stages of life, from celebrating Beatriz, the first toco toucan chick hatched at Riverbanks in more than a decade, to welcoming two-year-old Suci the Sumatran tiger, an important ambassador for her critically endangered wild counterparts, to admiring Bravo the Galapagos tortoise as he continues to thrive in his golden years.
- Inspire more than 300,000 young learners through hands-on, curiosity-fueled education programs yearly.
- Reintroduce South Carolina’s rare gopher frog into its native wetlands, giving this at-risk species a fighting chance.
- Transform the Zoo’s landscape with vibrant, pollinator-friendly gardens that support butterflies, bees, and other vital species.
THANK YOU! Your support is making an incredible impact. Let’s continue this important work—TOGETHER!
Every one of these accomplishments, and more, is made possible by friends like you. But our mission—creating connections, inspiring action, and impacting wildlife and wild places—is ongoing.
At Riverbanks, no two days are alike. Your gift to the Annual Fund is vital to meeting urgent needs, helping us act immediately wherever the need is greatest. The Annual Fund supports exceptional animal care, sustaining habitats, and addressing critical infrastructure needs that keep the Zoo and Garden thriving for our community.
Your gift today helps ensure Riverbanks remains a place where wonder inspires all ages and contributes to the vibrancy, economic strength, and quality of life in our community. As we prepare for the next chapter of Bridge to the Wild, our vision for the future, we need your support now more than ever while we expand animal habitats, create new conservation partnerships, and provide innovative guest experiences. Your gift, no matter the size, helps us dream bigger and reach farther for conservation.
