PERSPECTIVE Dear Members and Donors:

As in 2003, the Zoo Society’s 2004 net declined slightly due to a significant drop in one category: estate gifts. Every other category increased: membership dues, gift shop sales, corporate gifts and sponsorships, direct donations and special events. As a result, the Zoo Society’s 2004 net of $3,200,761 more than kept pace with Zoo funding requests. In all, the Zoo Society transferred $2,740,894 in grants to the N.C. Zoo.

These grants enriched the lives of animals and advanced the cause of conservation around the world. Society grants supported art projects, innovative education programs, and important conserva- tion research. They also made the zoo experience more meaningful and fun for visitors.

Yet it would not be unreasonable to say that our greatest successes in 2004 may be in the foundations laid for the future. We made great strides toward raising the $6 million we will need for the Watani Grasslands project. This expansion of the African plains exhibits will make the N.C. Zoo a world leader in elephant and rhinoceros conservation, and will create an unequalled immersion experience for visitors.

Another important initiative, the Valerie H. Schindler Wildlife Learning Center, promises virtually limitless possibilities for the future of conservation education and research, and for expanding the Zoo’s reach far beyond the Park itself.

All of this is made possible by the generosity of donors like you. Ultimately, members and donors are the N.C. Zoo Society, so the Zoo and Zoo Society want to thank all of our members, donors and friends for the trust and support they have given us in 2004. We promise to honor that trust and support with an unyielding commitment to responsible stewardship.

Together we have accomplished much, and together we will accomplish much more for the natural world that means so much to us all. 2004 was a great year. The best is yet to come.

Sincerely,

Williams www.nczoo.com Executive Director phone: 336.879.7250 fax: 336.879.3963 ZOOM IN In 2004, the Zoo Society provided $2,740,894 in direct support of the Zoo’s animals, plants, education, recreation, conservation and research programs. Society funding also supported Zoo marketing, Zoo staff training and devel- opment, Zoo production of the award-winning television series The Zoo FileZ, Zoo management and maintenance of its Web site, and more.
