The Zoological Society of San Diego is more popularly known, and does business as the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance (SDZWA) but is often referred to as simply the San Diego Zoo. Known as one of the wealthiest zoos in the country, the SDZWA has nearly $800 million in net assets (which was primarily accumulated by not spending as much as the organization raises).
A tax-exempt, non-profit conservation organization, SDZWA has been advertising in the Wall Street Journal trying to raise funds (total revenue dipped from $422 million in 2019 to $247 million in 2020 but then increased to $356 million in 2021, $392 million in 2022, and $411 million in 2023).
