No, Giving Circle memberships are a benefit-based way to support the Oregon Zoo Foundation. You become a Giving Circle member by making a donation at a specific level and indicating that you wish to join Giving Circle. Your membership then provides special benefits, such as year-round admission, free Zoo Lights tickets and invitations to special events.
Because some benefits have a fair market value, per IRS regulations, your Giving Circle membership donation is not fully tax deductible. You can choose to decline benefits with a fair market value and receive a full tax deduction. You will still receive non-tangible benefits (such as year-round admission).
Some individuals choose to support the Oregon Zoo Foundation without being a member by making a fully tax-deductible general gift or by contributing to specific campaigns.
Many individuals choose to participate in both types of support. No matter how you choose to support the Oregon Zoo Foundation, we are grateful for YOU and your support!
