The North Carolina Zoo Society is the private, non-profit fundraising organization for the North Carolina Zoological Park. It is the single funding source for Zoo animals and plants purchased for exhibition and maintains an active membership base exceeding 20,000 households. Gifts from corporate and individual donors contribute significantly to the Zoo's capital development and fund a wide variety of Zoo projects, including conservation field programs, wildlife rehabilitation services, veterinary residency program, arts programming, award-winning websites, online learning services, and animal enrichment and welfare programs.

NC Zoo Society Website

The NC Zoo Society partnered with webslingerz to create its website which acts as a focal point for the Society's diverse activities. The site includes both a public component as well as a member's only component. The public site includes online membership registration, donation and animal adoption programs, gift items for purchase, event calendars, and news, all of which can be maintained by the Society using a suite of publishing tools that leverages the power of the Zope Content Management Framework. The member's only Extranet includes daily Zoo updates, current weather and a concierge form to accommodate requests from the Society membership.

"Working with webslingerz has taken all of the anxiety out of building and maintaining a website that is responsive to our needs and to the needs of our members and friends," said Russell H. Williams, Executive Director of the NC Zoo Society. "The webslingerz staff created an interesting presence and then gave us the tools we needed to keep our site current and fresh. These professionals have consistently provided us with top-notch customer service whenever we have needed their help."
