Legacy giving is a generous way to support the zoo by leaving a portion of your will or trust in a planned arrangement. Benefits to creating a planned gift can even provide you with income including tax savings, increased cash flow, or reduced estate taxes but perhaps the most important benefit is the peace of mind knowing that you have made a difference to the future of animal well-being.

Princess Alice Society
Those that have given to the zoo via legacy giving are formally inducted into the exclusive Princess Alice Society. Our legacy giving society derives its name from Princess Alice, an Asian elephant who came to the Zoo in 1916. Nickel and dime donations from area school children helped raise $3,250 to purchase her from a traveling circus.
The Princess Alice Society recognizes and honors exceptional donors who have generously included Utah’s Hogle Zoo in their long-term estate plans. Such philanthropic support helps ensure sufficient resources for years to come. Our Princess Alice Society members have taken our mission to heart and truly are champions for wildlife!
Benefits include yearly recognition through our exclusive Princess Alice Society gatherings and invitations to exclusive donor events. Begin your legacy giving journey today by consulting your financial advisor.
