Planned Gifts

Leaving a legacy is a wonderful way to plan your future along with the Racine Zoo's Kama's Legacy Circle. The Circle was named after the white tiger born at the Zoo and was created to recognize friends of the Racine Zoological Society (RZS) who have endorsed our mission by including the RZS in their estate plans or by making planned gifts. These generous individuals share our passion for wildlife and the natural world and wish to ensure the future of the Racine Zoo. They have accepted a personal responsibility over the precious resources that have so enriched all of our lives. These individuals have helped ensure that future generations will have the opportunity to have a wildlife experience that improves the bond between people and nature. Estate gifts support a wide range of donor interest:

  • Conservation education programs
  • Saving and caring for wildlife
  • Building and renovating exhibits
  • Conservation initiatives

We hope that you consider joining this special group of supporters. If you have already made provisions for the RZS in your estate plans, we encourage you to share your intentions with the Zoo so that we can welcome you as a member of Kama's Legacy Circle.
