Donation Request Information

Submit your Donation Request for a Local Non-Profit Charity

Learn about our involvement with local non-profit groups and how to submit a request.

As Busch Gardens and Water Country USA employees, we take great pride in our role as a corporate leader through our support of local community efforts.


We support non-profit organizations dedicated to advancing educational and environmental initiatives as well as programs that make a positive impact in the lives of children. We provide assistance to select charitable organizations that meet these criteria through donations as well as through in-park events.


Due to the large number of donation requests we receive every year, we limit our giving to organizations that service communities closest to the parks from Richmond to Virginia Beach, VA.


All donation and contribution requests must be processed by our Donation Committee.


In order to have your request considered by the Donation Committee, the following needs to be included in a request letter, sent via mail, from your organization.


  • On organization letterhead
  • Name, phone and address of the contact person
  • Reason for request and date of event
  • If the organization has a charitable/non-profit status, this needs to be noted in the letter
  • The process takes 6-8 weeks.

All requests will be responded to by mail. Fax or copy requests will not be accepted.
