DescAnimal Care and ResearchDenver Zoo inspires a lifelong passion for discovery and exploration in every generation of children through an array of interactive experiences, connections, and memories. Guests may see the colorful tail of the peacock, or the fingernails of a gorilla; smell the odor of the maned wolves, or the poop of an elephant; hear the call of a gibbon; each instance a possibility for wonder and awe. Denver Zoo is alive!Denver Zoo is a recognized leader in all areas relating to quality care for their animal collection. Denver Zoo welcomed almost 200 new animals through births into its Zoo family this year. Animals at Denver Zoo are bred under the recommendations of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP), which ensures genetic diversity and healthy populations.Desc

DescEducation ServicesMulti-generational learning starts with natural curiosity and Denver Zoo is a living classroom that taps into that curiosity and inspires authentic learning like no other in the metro community. Bilingual delivery is offered for onsite and outreach programs. The Zoo's onsite and offsite programs engage students in the active discovery and reinforcement of core science content through student-directed questioning and research. These programs support students in the acquisition of key content and development of core skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Learning doesn't stop when the program is over; Zoo staff is committed to working with parents, caregivers and educators to empower the public to guide and further cultivate students' interest in and passion for science. Denver Zoo is dedicated to expanding the capacity of unique living classrooms by ensuring education opportunities for every individual who enters the gates. Education satellites are dispersed throughout the Zoo providing themed learning spaces with interactive and engaging settings for future program participants within the Zoo environment. Their locations, integrated into surrounding exhibits, will provide more than a classroom - it will create a dynamic and immersive experience and memorable learning opportunity.In 2016, Denver Zoo provided over 200,000 learning experiences through facilitated education onsite programs, self-guided visits, and community-based Outreach programs that allow the Zoo to reach audiences who may not have the opportunity to be exposed to Denver Zoo's programming otherwise.Highlights of the Zoo's 2016 learning experiences include nearly 30,000 school children, teachers and adults participating in Denver Zoo education programs that integrate the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (in the applied, real world setting of the Zoo). Included in these school programs is the Young Scientists program, a multi-contact standards based program that introduces students, grades 6-10, to the field of ethology (the study of animal behavior) and exhibit design through inquiry-based learning. The program includes one teacher orientation, three in-class lessons with live animals, three guided field trips at the Zoo, supporting curriculum and materials, and presentation of student work at a "Best of Show" celebration at the Zoo. Additionally, more than 60,000 student contacts were made via the Zoo's Outreach programs including the Multi-Contact Enrichment programs. These programs were developed in response to increased requests for more afterschool and extended school-day programming, especially by low-income and underserved populations, and an increased emphasis by multiple Colorado school districts for more STEM instruction. To ensure greater inclusivity and access to our community members, Denver Zoo provided more than $260,000 in Scholarship Program costs to offset the program and transportation costs for 41,200 participants.Desc

DescGuest ServicesIn 2016 Denver Zoo had the second highest attendance in over 120 years. Denver Zoo served 2,050,819 people through on grounds attendance and outreach programs. Membership households reached 67,813. Combined free and reduced attendance was 1,007,849 of Denver Zoo's total 2016 admissions - reduced admissions were shared with 613,636 participants, and free admissions were shared with 394,213 guests. Zoo Lights attendance reached a record breaking 221,942 visitors. The Zoo monitors and evaluates the visitor experience through a mystery shopper program, guest comment cards and an extensive guest satisfaction survey.Denver Zoo facilitates unique memories to deepen guests' connection to the Zoo, each other, and nature. By listening to guests, they have shared what they value when visiting the Zoo and expect and desire in their experience. These memories are treasured aspects of what have been defined as the Hierarchy of Exceptional Guest Experience. From their stories the Zoo has identified what's necessary and valued for guests' Zoo visit, from safety and comfort, to belonging and togetherness, to engagement and learning, and ultimately awe. It's in those moments of awe and inspiration where Denver Zoo can invite guests to join in the organization's mission to secure a better world for animals through human understanding.Denver Zoo brings the wonder of animals and nature to people like no other place in the city. Where else in Denver can parents and children hear the squeal of a tapir, be splashed by a sea lion, or touch the 18 inch long tongue of a giraffe? Interacting with animals and the staff and volunteers who passionately introduce them to guests makes Denver Zoo a unique destination. Pathways, gardens, signs, and every part of the Zoo environment engages the senses and transports guests to new places. Hands-on exploration and self-guided discovery are key aspects throughout the park, helping foster human and animal connections and cultivating moments of awe.Desc

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Form 990 is reviewed and presented to the Zoo's Board of Trustees at a board meeting, after being reviewed and approved by the Finance and Audit Committee. A copy of the Form 990 is then made available to all members of the board for review, prior to its filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cConflict of interest questionnaires are completed annually by all officers, directors or trustees, and key employees. Trustees who have a beneficial interest in a decision are excused from discussion and voting rights. Also, if the item of purchase is a tangible asset with potential conflicts of interest, staff is required to get multiple bids for the item.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15There are several factors, monetary and nonmonetary, that are considered in determining executive compensation. These business-related factors include: Budget: Does the budget allow for any flexibility in the offer and what is the relative financial health of our organization? Internal equity: What are other executives in the same type of job or at the same job level being paid? Market price/external demands: Is this job difficult to fill or is it hard to find qualified candidates in this location or industry? Candidates' level of experience: How many years of relevant experience does this person bring to the table? Candidates' education level: What degrees does the person have that will benefit our organization? Candidates' current compensation package: What is this person's current base pay and benefits package? Salary surveys: What are other executives in the same type of job being paid at other non-profit organizations of the same size? Once the salary is determined, the executive committee (which consists of independent board members) reviews this information. A written employment agreement is also used for the CEO.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18The organization's Form 1023 and Form 990 are available to the public upon request.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available to the public upon request. The Zoo's articles of incorporation and annual reports are also on file with the Colorado Secretary of State.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c:Through the Finance and Audit Committee, the Denver Zoological Foundation's Board of Trustees assume the responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed from prior years.
