Donation Request

Discover the wonder of the world’s deserts at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens.

The Living Desert is pleased to be able to give back to the community by considering charitable donation requests from qualified organizations. Please keep in mind that we receive numerous requests, and while each request receives careful consideration, we regret that we are unable to accommodate all of the organizations that merit our assistance.

If your organization is selected, you will be notified about 30 days prior to your event.
