Give to the Max Day

November 20, 2025

Make a difference for wildlife with a gift to the Minnesota Zoo Foundation this Give to the Max Day. Your generous donation will support the Minnesota Zoo’s wildlife-saving efforts, both for animals in need of a new home at the Zoo and their counterparts in the wild. From rescued sea lions and wallabies to pygmy marmosets and so many more, your support helps give animals in need a second chance to not only survive, but thrive at the Zoo. Early giving starts November 1.
