With zoo fundraising, you need to appeal to large groups for the maximum amount of profit. You will probably need to do several fundraisers, as one will not be enough. Try organizing a petting zoo with more common farmyard animals and charging admission.

A very popular fundraising technique that many zoos have implemented in the past is to have a “zookeeper for the day” auction. The winning bidder will follow around a zookeeper for the day, helping with tasks and gaining interaction with the animals.

You could also do a gold fundraiser, as a fundraiser on the side. More people are willing to donate to a zoo, so as long as you appeal to the greater good for children and families, you are on the road to an excellent fundraiser.
