The Arkansas Zoological Foundation is also raising funds for a new cheetah habitat at the Little Rock Zoo. Thanks to a generous donation from the Laura P. Nichols Foundation, the foundation need only raise another $300,000 to complete fundraising for this exciting new habitat. You can help bring cheetahs to Arkansas by contributing to the Cat Scratch Fever Campaign! Donate today!
Benefits: habitat partners will be recognized prominently at the site of the habitat and will be mentioned in the zoos’ annual report and in official publications of the zoo. Habitat partners will be asked to attend official ceremonies for the exhibit including the exhibit ground breaking and grand opening.
Benefits: special tiles will be placed at the site of the habitat to recognize gifts of $1,000 and above. This permanent recognition level will allow an individual or organization to sketch a person or individual’s name into the tile.

Benefits: the conservation partner donation level is an annual gift to the Arkansas Zoological Foundation for the cheetah habitat. Funds raised through this annual donation will initially be used to construct the new exhibit. After construction, funds raised with this donation will be designated to conservation education programs at the Little Rock Zoo. The donor has the option to renew this annual contribution at any time. Conservation partners will be recognized at the new zoo education building as well as in the zoo’s annual report.
Donations of any amount under $250 are greatly appreciated and will help the Arkansas Zoological Foundation reach its fundraising goal for this new exhibit. Any donation made below $249 will be listed in the zoo’s annual report and will be acknowledged at the grand opening of the event.
