| Desc | Animal 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. A few highlights from 2015:Denver Zoo welcomed over 150 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.What better way to celebrate New Year's Day than with the birth of Grevy's zebra, Denali! Grevy's zebra are considered endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with a wild population estimated at fewer than 2,000 individuals. Their largest threats come from loss of habitat, competition with livestock and poaching. They have disappeared from most of their former habitats and are now only found in dry deserts and open grasslands in northern Kenya and southeastern Ethiopia.Gasby, Shug and Bu, three adorable, Asian small-clawed otter pups, were born at the Zoo on May 29. Father Bugsy, and mother Asha, received considerable help caring for the pups from their older brother, Jilin, born in 2014.Resident California sea lions, Nick and Luci, celebrated the birth of their second pup, Gunnison, on June 11. A sea lion has not been born at the Zoo since the 2010 arrival of Ady. In July, the Zoo provided a forever home to two male yearling California sea lions, Duke and Maverick, who were unable to survive on their own in the wild. Denver Zoo's animal care team went to California to retrieve the yearlings from the Pacific Marine Mammal Center, which is a nonprofit organization that specializes in the rescue and rehabilitation of beached marine mammals. These pups have been together since their rescue and Denver Zoo agreed to bring both to Colorado because of their obvious bond.Neliah, a South African lioness and first-time mother, successfully gave birth to Kalu and Kamara on the morning of September 10. Residents from each of the seven counties that make up the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) were invited to submit names for the cubs for consideration. The contest was held to thank voters who support SCFD, which provides approximately 20% of the Zoo's annual funding.Imagine seeing a zebra born right before your eyes. That's what happened on October 8, when Grevy's zebra, Farasi, gave birth to male foal, Bosley, in the zebra yard as guests watched in awe. Farasi is not a new mother, but this is the first time she has given birth at Denver Zoo.Soon to follow was the arrival of a Przewalski's horse male foal, named Batu, born the morning of October 29. Batu was born to mother, Yisun, and father, Bataar. This is only the second birth of this species at Denver Zoo since 1991.Denver Zoo initiated two new programs for the Giraffes during 2015. The Giraffe Encounter, Made Possible By Toyota, opened in the summer of 2015. At designated times throughout the day, guests can hand-feed lettuce leaves or other healthy items to resident reticulated giraffes Dikembe, Heshi, Masika and Kipele. This is a place for visitors to interact with staff and volunteers to learn about giraffes, discover their personalities through an up-close encounter with these giants and experience a sense of wonder. These types of interactions create awe moments and lifetime memories with these majestic animals that spark caring and action.In 2015, Denver Zoo unveiled the Giraffe SNUGG (Safe, Nurturing, Upright Gateway for Giraffes), which provides giraffes Dikembe, Heshi, Masika and Kipele access to enhanced husbandry, routine and state-of-the-art veterinary care. The SNUGG was designed and built in house at Denver Zoo, as a safe structure for Zoo staff to monitor the giraffes' heart rates, deliver vaccinations, obtain blood samples, and more, without the need of anesthesia. The SNUGG is an example of how Denver Zoo's husbandry, training and enrichment programs use positive reinforcement to encourage animals to participate in their own health care. This helps eliminate stress related to important procedures and creates a positive experience for the animals. Keepers continue to help the giraffes acclimate to the SNUGG, which involves using favorite food items to encourage them to walk through the SNUGG and stand on the scale/platform. So far, all the giraffes are utilizing the SNUGG as part of their daily routine and keepers have been able to get frequent accurate weights on multiple animals, which is a key indicator of health.Animal NutritionIn 2015, the Zoo added a new specialized position, a full-time zoo nutritionist (Ph.D.), to enhance its ability to provide the best care for more than 4,000 animals. The field of zoo nutrition is relatively new and very small. To date, there are only 28 zoo nutritionists with post-graduate training in North America. Adding an animal nutritionist to the Zoo's staff is significant since it demonstrates Denver Zoo's continual efforts to enhance our expertise in the zoological realm. Denver Zoo is committed to providing the best species-specific diets that ensure the health and welfare of the animals in the collection. Many considerations are factored into the diets, such as each animal's unique needs or the desire to replicate the food found in the species' natural habitat.Denver Zoo made the choice to expand its browse program in 2015. Browse is unprocessed plant material, such as leaves, flowers or wood portions of trees and shrubs. Much of the browse consumed by our animals comes from the naturally-grown vegetation on the Zoo's campus. In addition to its nutritional value, browse provides enrichment as animals nibble on leaves, strip bark and chew on stems as they would in the wild. Browse is also helpful for healthy digestion of many Zoo animals. Awards and Recognition - Animal Care StaffVice President for Animal Care, Hollie Colahan, was selected to be the Chair of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Professional Development Committee that oversees all of AZA's professional development and training programs.Staff veterinarian, Dr. Gwen Jankowski, successfully passed the certification examination to become a Diplomate of the American College of Zoological Medicine (ACZM), the international specialty organization recognized for certification of veterinarians with special expertise in zoological medicine.Vice President for Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Scott Larsen, completed a two year term as President of the American College of Zoological Medicine (ACZM). Dr. Larsen was also elected President-Elect of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, the professional association for veterinarians that provide care and advance science for animals in zoos and in the wild.Brian Aucone, Senior Vice President for Animal Care and Conservation, was selected for the AZA Executive Leadership Development Program. | Desc |

| Desc | Education 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 2015, Denver Zoo provided over 225,000 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 2015 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 67,000 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. In 2015, Denver Zoo deepened its commitment to Early Childhood Education through a collaboration with Educare Denver School at Clayton Early Learning to deliver a comprehensive program, Nurturing Scientists through Nature Play, which provides hands-on inquiry to engage young children, teachers and caregivers in nature play. To ensure greater inclusivity and access to our community members, Denver Zoo provided more than $220,000 in Scholarship Program costs to offset the program and transportation costs for 42,800 participants.In 2015, Denver Zoo also graduated its first cohort of Master's Degree students in the Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP), a collaboration with Miami University (Oxford, OH). AIP Master's students practice the skills of investigation, critical reflection, conservation leadership and collaboration required to effectively address vital conservation and education issues in our community and around the globe. Recent graduates represent working-professionals from across the SCFD region including a Boulder County Open Space Park Ranger committed to increasing the educational impacts of his team in the local community while also engaging in a project reaching teenagers in Kenya to engage in activities and experiences to increase their conservation knowledge. Other graduates include formal educators, including one who is working toward the development of a nature-based early childhood center and another who is engaging with various neighborhoods throughout the Denver metro area in the creation of pollinator pathways to support Colorado's pollinators and to ensure healthy ecosystems in Colorado. | Desc |

| Desc | Guest ServicesIn 2015 Denver Zoo had the second highest attendance in 120 years. Denver Zoo served 2,037,036 people through on grounds attendance and outreach programs. Membership households reached 65,891. Combined free and reduced attendance was 1,359,614 of Denver Zoo's total 2015 admissions - reduced admissions were shared with 960,244 participants, and free admissions were shared with 399,370 guests. Zoo Lights attendance reached a record breaking 212,795 visitors during December through January. 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.Denver Zoo is empowering the next generation of scientists by connecting guests of all ages with transformative experiences with animals. In 2015, Denver Zoo introduced two new interactive exhibits. Giraffe Encounter allows guests to get eye-to-eye with giraffes and feed these magnificent animals. The giraffe platform is a place for visitors to interact with animal interpreters to learn about giraffes, their personalities and conservation efforts to preserve this species for future generations. Be a Zookeeper Zone is an interactive area that allows children ages 2 to 10 and their caregivers to learn about the science of animal care. The Zone features three different exhibits and a presentation area to immerse children in up-close views of education animal ambassadors and their animal keepers. Children can experiment with different components of the animal's exhibit, such as placement of a water bowl or type of bedding; then they observe the behavior of the animal when it is introduced to its new environment and make adjustments based on their observations. Denver Zoo presented Nature Connects, Art with LEGO Bricks in 2015 as an award-winning traveling exhibit that made its Colorado debut at Denver Zoo. This exhibit featured life-size, and even some larger-than-life, animal and plant sculptures made from LEGO bricks. Thirty-eight sculptures were positioned throughout the Zoo grounds, including 10 specially commissioned pieces. The sculptures represent species that can be found in North America and abroad. This exhibit received a Tourism Star Award from the Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame. | Desc |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The Form 990 is reviewed and presented to the Zoo's Board of Trustees at a board meeting. 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 12c | Conflict 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 15 | There 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. Written employment agreements are also used. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18 | The organization's Form 1023 and Form 990 are available to the public upon request. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The 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: | 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. |
