Receive Income Today,
Save Wildlife Tomorrow

How It Works

1. You donate $5,000 or more in cash, securities or other property to Denver Zoo.
2. You and/or your beneficiary receive fixed annual payments for life at a very attractive rate based on the age of the beneficiaries (for example: age 65 – 4.2%, age 70 – 4.7%, age 75 – 5.4%).
3. You can begin receiving payments immediately (if you are 50 or older) or defer payments for a year or more (most people choose to start receiving income around retirement age).
4. You are eligible for an immediate tax deduction. If you donate appreciated assets, you may save on capital gains taxes as well.
5. The remainder passes to Denver Zoo after your lifetime.
