The Foundation was created in 2000 to give our visitors and supporters an easy way to get directly involved in our Zoos and support animal conservation, education and research.

Since then our supporters have helped the Taronga Conservation Society Australia build world class exhibits and facilities and supported our vital scientific research, education and breeding programs.

Taronga Foundation supporters also contribute to successful conservation projects for threatened and endangered wildlife in Australia and around the world.

The Taronga Foundation provides direct financial support to key conservation projects via its Field Conservation Grants program introduced in 2007 and through partnerships with key wildlife organisations around the world.

Donations made to the Taronga Foundation are fully tax deductible.
