The Asante Society of the Houston Zoo
Connecting Our Zoo to Our City
The Asante Society at the Houston Zoo is a group of philanthropic individuals who help to ensure the vitality and excellence of the Zoo’s core programs: animal care, education and conservation. Individuals and couples can join with an annual gift of $1,200 or more. One hundred percent of these donations help support the Zoo.
Asante membership allows families to experience the Zoo in very unique ways, with opportunities to go behind the scenes" to meet our animals and their keepers, learn more about important conservation topics in which the Zoo is actively involved, and have fun at several exclusive events, both at the Zoo and in private homes around Houston.
When you join the Asante Society, you become a special part of one of the nation's best Zoos.
