These programs allow participants to closely identify with wildlife, plants, and natural habitats, providing a firm understanding of the interconnectedness of all living things. Zoo programs impact members of the community who visit the Zoo, and also who cannot make it to the park itself. Zoomobiles made numerous appearances at schools, elder facilities, and communities across the county and state. Partnering with local sponsors has allowed the Zoo to offer many assembly programs free of charge and create more ways to serve more students. These opportunities allow the Zoo to connect with wide audiences from varying socio-economic backgrounds and generate interest in and provide access to STEM fields. Our popular Zoo Camp summer program for children ages 2 to 13 continues as one of our most popular activities for the community, and the Zoo is committed to providing support for the continued growth of this program and removing financial barriers through its campership opportunity launched this year. The camperships offer a zoo camp experience with a travel stipend, before and after care, and lunches at no charge for those successful applicants who meet the financial eligibility requirements. The Zoo U program offers semester-based courses that allow high school students to explore new areas of science and conservation in a fun and exciting way. Students take an in-depth look at current research and topics in zoology, biology, ecology, and more. Classes are designed to be interactive and challenging for students in grades 9 to 12. A similar program targeting grades 6 to 8, Junior Conservationists, is held on the same schedule. For many decades, the Zoo Teen program has been providing opportunities for teens ages 14 to 17 to work at the Zoo during the summer and learn more about animals while gaining their first work experiences. Programs such as Pizza with the Keepers and enrichment exercises introduce high school-aged youth to what working at a Zoo and with animals is really like, potentially spring-boarding them into rewarding lifelong careers. EDUCATION AT THE ZOO REACHES BEYOND WHAT CAN BE TAUGHT IN A CLASSROOM SETTING. OUR ENTIRE ZOO CAMPUS IS A LIVING CLASSROOM. AS ONE OF THE LARGEST YOUTH EMPLOYERS IN THE REGION, THE ZOO WORKS WITH A HOST OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND LOCAL SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE AT-RISK YOUTH AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE AND ON-THE-JOB LEARNING IN VIABLE POSITIONS AT THE ZOO. IN ADDITION, THE ZOO OFFERS INTERNSHIPS IN ALL AREAS OF THE FACILITY, INCLUDING THE MARKETING, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, EDUCATION, CONSERVATION RESEARCH, VETERINARY, AND HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENTS. THE ZOO OFFERS ENGAGING PROGRAMMING ONSITE, PROVIDING FUN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES FOR AUDIENCES OF ALL AGES. OPEN NEARLY EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, THE ZOO WELCOMES MORE THAN 900,000 PEOPLE ANNUALLY AND CONSERVATION EDUCATION REMAINS A TOP PRIORITY. THE ZOO CREATES INFORMAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH ANIMAL EXHIBITRY, INTERPRETIVE MATERIALS, HANDS ON LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, ANIMAL MEET AND GREETS, AND ENGAGING ENCOUNTERS WITH STAFF AND VOLUNTEER EDUCATORS FOR ALL VISITORS, FREE WITH ADMISSION. 9851972 Conservation & Research The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium has a history of championing wildlife and conservation in Western Pennsylvania and across the globe. The mission of the organization orients our conservation work towards long term impact by working with our communities. Similarly, the vision for the organization is to provide effective conservation leadership by bringing collaborators together. In both its mission and vision, the Zoo commits itself to transformative and exemplary conservation programs. There's more going on at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium than meets the eye, especially when it comes to animal conservation. The International Conservation Center is operated under the auspices of the Zoo. It sits on 1,000 acres of rolling hills in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The Conservation Center is dedicated to African elephant conservation, education, training, breeding, and research. In 2024, we expanded our collection to include reindeer, bison, and Bactrian camel and welcomed visitors and educational groups to through programs and tours to learn more about all our species. Through the Sea Turtle Second Chance Program (STSCP), the Zoo accepts injured sea turtles and hatchlings who didn't make it into Gulf Stream waters and cares for them until they are healthy enough to be released back into the wild. The Zoo is an important participant in this program because it is an inland institution. Most of the aquariums participating in the STSCP are located along the coast, which allows them to take in turtles who can make a speedy recovery. Some hatchlings and injured turtles need long-term rehabilitation. These animals are transported to the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium for their extended recovery time, freeing up space for faster recovering turtles at the institutions along the coast and allowing many more turtles to be rehabilitated in the program. Through educational displays and meet-the-keeper sessions, visitors have the opportunity to learn about sea turtles, and how they can impact their care and survival in the wild. The release has been broadcast on the Zoo's social media to promote and raise awareness of this important conservation program. Beyond species-specific programs, several Zoo residents offer valuable opportunities for research that can be applied to their wild counterparts. The Zoo & Aquarium raises, often rehabilitates, and cares for animals in our park environment allowing the opportunity to research their behavior. This allows for valuable information to be collected that may not be available through research in the wild alone. The Zoo's operations also support conservation at a local level. Since 1995, volunteers from the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium have adopted two miles of Butler Street from the RD Fleming Bridge to slightly beyond the Highland Park Bridge. As a result of every scheduled cleaning, Zoo employees fill approximately 50 trash bags with garbage such as cigarette butts, soda bottles, and food wrappers. Cleaning this roadway just twice each year, we remove approximately 1.5 tons of trash. The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium's Green Team committee takes conservation and environmentally friendly practices to a new level. The Green Team's mission is to research and recommend how to use resources and manage waste efficiently and sustainably while operating the Zoo. The team strives to create a culture of conservation for Zoo staff and for the visiting public. Improvements made by the Green Team include upgrading to all green cleaning practices in Zoo facilities, advocating for energy-efficient infrastructure and green building design, implementing additional composting and recycling options, and establishing green partnerships with other cultural and entertainment institutions including Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, the National Aviary, PPG Paints Arena, and the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. At the Zoo, most of the organic waste is recycled into compost and used in landscaping throughout the park. This keeps the waste out of landfills and it also helps us to plant and maintain a beautiful landscape. The compost-enriched soil reduces erosion, alleviates soil compaction, provides nutrients that help plants grow, and controls disease and pest infestation in plants. The composting program compliments other recycling programs at the Zoo, including water, cardboard, batteries, cans, bottles, paper, and cell phones. The Zoo hosted Electronic April with overwhelming success this past year where discounted admission was granted for guests who donated small electronics to the Zoo to recycle. This program was offered in cooperation with the AZA's Gorilla SAFE conservation program. The Zoo accepted devices (in any condition) which included: cell phones; tablets and eReaders; smart watches; digital cameras; MP3 players; GPS devices; and handheld gaming devices. Whether funding or participating in projects in the wild, conducting research with our resident animals, or implementing eco-friendly practices that make an environmental impact, conservation and research is an essential piece of everything we do at the Zoo. 1231496 13558820 RECREATION Open throughout the year with the exceptions of Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day, the Zoo hosts numerous events for community and regional groups. With fully ADA-accessible facilities, the provision of open space for public recreation, several historically preserved public landmarks, and 8,000 animals representing more than 900 species along with foliage from every corner of the earth, the Zoo offers something special for every unique interest of each of the hundreds of thousands of visitors from all backgrounds who enjoy trips to the Zoo annually. To increase community involvement, hundreds of special events and promotions geared towards the general public, families, special needs groups, community and regional groups, and Zoo members are conducted throughout the year. Special events held during the daytime and evening are designed to engage visitors of varying levels and interests. These events include varied themes such as new baby celebrations, animal-centric events that focus on individual species, adult-only evening engagements, a Jack-o-lantern Extravaganza, and other holiday-themed festivals, including ZooBoo and Wild Illuminations, featuring Asian Lanterns. Dream Night, an invite-only special event, was started in 2006 through a partnership with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. This event invites children with disabilities and chronic healthcare needs along with their families enjoy a private zoo visit after hours free of charge. The plethora of programs currently offered is expected to continue and grow in the coming years. In order to ensure access for everyone regardless of financial means, the Zoo designates opportunities for free visits throughout the year, including a partnership with the Allegheny Regional Asset District for its Staycation program where approximately 15,000 Allegheny County residents enjoyed the Zoo at no charge. There are various other special promotions offering discounted admission as well. Scholarship programs are available for groups focused on supporting physically, mentally, or emotionally challenged persons and those serving the disadvantaged. The Zoo has expanded its efforts to reach underserved community members by removing financial barriers through its Museums for All program. The Museums for All program recognizes the cost of admission can be a barrier for many low-income families or individuals and in April 2023, the Zoo began offering $3 each general daytime admission for groups of up to four people when a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program EBT or Access card is presented along with identification. Over 65,000 individuals came through this program with more than half from Allegheny County in 2024. The Zoo donates a substantial portion of its services to benefit the local and regional community, where the vast majority of its visitors reside. Operations are entirely free from profit motive, which allows the Zoo to continue to expand the positive initiatives it facilitates while exploring new ways to support and enrich the community that it serves. 24629929 true true false true false true true false true true false false false true true true false false false true true false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true 59 0 true 461 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 32 32 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false PA X X RACHEL ASKEY COO 4123652510 ONE WILD PLACE PITTSBURGH PA 152061178 X JEREMY GOODMAN PRESIDENT/CEO 40.0 0.0 X 363296 0 44115 RON GRUCA CHIEF ADVANCEMENT OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 226462 0 38983 RACHEL ASKEY CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 190628 0 37403 ALYSSA DELUCA VP OF DEVELOPMENT 40.0 0.0 X 178734 0 36391 DARYL HOFFMAN VP OF LIVING CONDITIONS 40.0 0.0 X 144714 0 35182 AYESHAH AL-HUAIDHI ICC DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 111782 0 25863 ALLAN MARSHALL VP OF INTERNAL RELATIONS 40.0 0.0 X 106660 0 24686 DONNA K HUDSON CHAIR 8.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 MORTON D STANFIELD JR VICE CHAIR 8.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT KRIZNER TREASURER 8.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 DAVID GRUBMAN SECRETARY 8.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 JUDY BACCHUS DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JAMES BALOURIS DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ANTHONY BENEVENTO DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DOROTHY BOYER DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 HOWARD BRUSCHI DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 KENNETH P CHENG MD DIRECTOR (EXIT 3/24) 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CLARK DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 G HENRY COOK DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JACK DEMOS DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 SUZY DONAHUE DIRECTOR (ENTER 9/24) 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 BEVERLYNN ELLIOTT DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL FETSKO DIRECTOR (ENTER 5/24) 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 AMANDA GREEN-HAWKINS DIRECTOR (EXIT 6/24) 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 THOMAS M KUBLACK DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL C LAROCCO DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MARIAN LIEN DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DARCEL MADKINS DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DAN MAHON DIRECTOR (ENTER 5/24) 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ANTHONY MARTINI DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JOHN MICLOT DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER TIS MIHOK DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JEANNE MINNICKS DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 RYAN NEUPAVER DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JOHN T PAYNE DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DIANA MRVOS RATH DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 PETER RUSS DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JANEL SKELLEY DIRECTOR (EXIT 1/24) 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS STIRLING DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 KIM WARD DIRECTOR (ENTER 5/24) 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 SALLY WIGGIN DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY ZYNN DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 1322276 0 242623 7 false true false HHR Construction Excavation 204 Spartz Drive Jefferson Hills PA 15025 Construction 195365 Merit Electrical Group Inc 204 Pennsylvania Avenue Oakmont PA 15139 Electrical 162769 DC Customs 3216 Cumberland Ave WICHITA FALLS TX 76309 ICC Fencing 121912 3 42000 3820438 249870 7063875 3780775 34516 14956958 ADMISSIONS 900099 11715420 11715420 VISITOR SERVICES 900099 1843400 1843400 EDUCATION 900099 1296252 1296252 14855072 646775 646775 0 0 24026 24026 0 24026 24026 968407 995261 -26854 -26854 -26854 149838 249870 146210 3628 3628 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30459605 14855072 647575 62650 62650 0 51044 51044 0 900888 540532 225222 135134 0 11017318 9841097 570676 605545 763179 763179 1719933 1399166 248530 72237 921176 749377 133110 38689 0 20163 20163 135707 135707 81070 81070 0 16365 16365 1460341 652995 498497 308849 743493 743493 571065 109312 452443 9310 154730 154730 0 4112861 4112861 117917 88327 29590 0 90952 51123 23027 16802 3373 3373 0 3473026 3319457 138212 15357 541662 541662 ANIMAL EXPENSES 1255648 1255648 SUPPLIES 573508 520574 8064 44870 EQUIPMENT 257942 153758 96775 7409 REFUSE Expenses 124926 124926 515586 311927 92458 111201 29686523 24629929 3610121 1446473 7440612 8095313 6960175 8638286 1772718 2231555 133155 306903 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 252594 214924 106177043 50026116 57720288 56150927 3141967 3419241 0 0 0 0 0 0 51180 23335 77472689 79080484 3127765 3680884 0 0 192442 213899 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 51843 23861 3372050 3918644 X 63796149 63053520 10304490 12108320 74100639 75161840 77472689 79080484 773082 288119 X X false true X true false X 13375243 13673137 15514595 11842533 14956958 69362466 0 1 1 1 1 1 5 13375244 13673138 15514596 11842534 14956959 69362471 2079459 67283012 44907 74816 176983 466597 670801 1434104 156197 0 68434 2196 3628 230455 0 71027030 63153642 0.94729 0.91370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 81070 81070 29605453 29686523 1000000 250000 1000000 1000000 1000000 1000000 4000000 6000000 29028 29328 23019 81070 162445 250000 250000 250000 250000 1000000 1500000 0 0 PART II-A, LINE 1B THE SOCIETY ENGAGED ALLEGHENY STRATEGY PARTNERS TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH STATE GOVERNMENT FUNDING.
