The President’s Circle is Zoo New England’s giving society for donors who provide significant annual support to the Zoos. Annual unrestricted donations of $1,000 or more directly support our core programs: animal care, education and conservation.

President’s Circle members experience the Zoos in unique ways-- behind-the-scenes tours, invitations to exclusive events, and personal attention by a Development Officer to ensure your experience with the Zoos is the best it can be. Members also receive personal recognition from Zoo New England President and CEO, John Linehan.
