Ticket Donation Requests

Donation Request Criteria

Due to the large volume of requests we receive, we are not able to respond to phone requests, follow-up calls, or requests received by mail or email. Please read the criteria below carefully and submit your request using this online form below.

Zoo Ticket Donation Criteria

As a non-profit organization, the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens supports other non-profits in Central Florida through in-kind support.

We gladly accept requests for donations of admission tickets as a form of sponsorship for live and silent auctions; raffles; and other fundraisers for registered 501(c)3 organizations.

Eligible organizations may submit only one request per calendar year. Each submission is evaluated on a first-come basis and will not be approved based upon a prior year’s participation. Donations are not automatically renewed.

The Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is not able to provide charitable donations to:

  • Duplicate requests from the same organization
  • Fundraisers benefiting mission trips or activities outside of the U.S.
  • Individuals or Families
  • Labor or political organizations
  • Organizations outside the state of Florida
  • Organizations seeking a donation for prizes or incentives
  • Organizations that have received a donation within the same calendar year
  • Organizations that support activities or practices that do not align with our policies
  • Requests for monetary gifts or sponsorships
  • Requests made with less than 60 days notification
  • Third party fundraising organizations

Eligible organizations should submit a request no more than 90 days prior to the event.

Requests will be reviewed on a rolling basis. No phone calls or emails please.

If your organization is selected to receive a donation, you will be notified by email and delivery arrangements will be made at that time.

We do have a limited number of donations each year, therefore not all requests can be supported.
Denial of a request does not imply that the organization’s mission is not important or valid.
