The Greenville Zoo Foundation is a non-profit (501)(c)(3) organization that was formed in 1976 to support and enrich the Greenville Zoo.  For over 50 years, the Greenville Zoo has been one of the Upstate’s most cherished assets.  The Greenville Zoo Foundation has a mission to serve as an independent community outreach group, whose purpose is to provide financial, resource and advocacy support for the needs of the Greenville Zoo.

The Greenville Zoo is proud to be accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums – only 10% of the US zoos and aquariums (or 223) achieve this designation.
