A third of the world's animals could vanish by 2050. Palm Beach Zoo needs $65 million to help prevent that. But first, they need to change how people see their role in saving wildlife. 

Don't just ask for donations. Awaken what’s already there – our primal need for nature. Tap into the connection we feel when immersed in the wild. Because when you feel it, you fight for it. 

You don't just tell the story of an institution that has been caring for wildlife for over 50 years – you give it room to roar. Like all powerful stories, it doesn’t begin with numbers, it begins with truth. 

Truth #1: Humans crave nature. Science proves it calms us, centers us, makes us whole. Yet we're losing touch with the wild world faster than ever. 

Truth #2: Nature needs us as much we need it. Those giraffes our children love? They’ve lost 56% of their population in just 30 years. Quietly. While we weren’t looking. 

These truths, revealed through in-depth stakeholder interviews with zoo staff members, became the foundation of "Bold Vision," a capital campaign that speaks to the heart before it speaks to the wallet. 

We designed the donor book to be as immersive as the experience it promises. Each page takes you deeper into a transformed Palm Beach Zoo where visitors don't just see animals – they connect with them. Where a child's first encounter with a cheetah sparks a lifetime commitment to conservation. Where every visit delivers that essential Vitamin Z. 

The visual language is as bold as the vision itself. Rich earth tones and African-inspired patterns create a sense of place. Dramatic wildlife photography captures intimate moments between animals and humans. 

The messaging is direct but lyrical, working in harmony with the design to transform statistics into emotion, and emotion into action. 

Most importantly, we showed donors they weren't just funding new habitats. They were funding hope. Because when you bring people close enough to feed a giraffe or watch a family of lemurs play, something changes. The animals stop being "them" and start being "us." 

The result? A case for support that doesn't just ask for money – it asks for partnership in preserving the wild heart of our world. In fundraising, as in nature, survival belongs to the bold.
