Community Support

Niabi Zoo is a major cultural asset for the Quad Cities Area in Illinois and Iowa. Operating a zoological park requires advanced animal care methods and equipment, engaging education programs, impactful conservation practices, ongoing training and support for its dedicated staff, modernized facilities and maintenance, as well as professional business practices utilizing current technology. The support of community organizations, grant funders, sponsors, local businesses and everyday people is essential for the Zoo to continue to grow and make a difference in the lives of animals and people in our local and global communities.
