Why does Waterfowl USA need an Endowment Fund?
Currently, Waterfowl USA must raise 100 percent of its annual operating budget each year, tying the organization’s financial solvency to the uncertainties of inflation, recession or political downturns, and other factors beyond its control. A healthy Endowment Fund protects the long-term stability of Waterfowl USA and provides a predictable stream of income over time. In addition, it will change our focus from raising operating funds and allow the organization to focus on growth and development of more waterfowl habitat projects.
