Animal Sponsorships – Thuringian Zoo Park Foundation

An animal sponsorship enables animal lovers in Thuringia to specifically support the keeping, care, and feeding of a selected zoo animal. Private individuals fully finance the chosen animal species by making a donation equivalent to the average annual costs. As a token of appreciation, they receive a personal certificate with a photo of the sponsored animal, as well as invitations to the annual animal sponsorship meeting, where exclusive tours and close animal encounters are offered. Through this sustainable measure, each sponsor directly contributes to the development and well-being of the animals in the zoo park and simultaneously supports climate and species conservation.

Funding is provided through a sponsorship initiative that is continuously open and guarantees 100 percent coverage of the expenses. The sponsorship usually lasts 12 months but can be individually extended if needed. Only private individuals who submit a completed application form and pay the donation amount are eligible for funding. Eligible expenses include costs for keeping, costs for care, and costs for feeding. The straightforward application process without deadline restrictions allows for entry into this animal-friendly commitment at any time. The sponsorship is especially suitable for those seeking a special gift or wishing to actively pursue their personal interest in animal protection and environmental education.
