Million Duck Campaign
Backed by more than 110 years of scientific research
Delta Waterfowl is on a mission to fill every flyway by producing 1 million additional ducks every year—forever.
Thanks to the extraordinary support of duck hunters and conservation-minded donors across North America, the Million Duck Campaign has secured the financial commitments necessary to make that vision a reality. But commitments alone don’t produce ducks. Ducks are produced when projects are funded, crews are deployed, hen houses are built, predators are managed, and conservation work hits the ground.
That means the speed and scale of our impact depends on dollars received today.
Every contribution accelerates Delta’s ability to expand proven duck production programs across the prairie breeding grounds. More funding in hand means more hen houses installed, more Predator Management acres trapped, more field crews deployed, and ultimately, more ducks in every fall flight.
The Million Duck Campaign is no longer about whether we can achieve this vision. It’s about how quickly we can deliver it.
How It Works
Delta Waterfowl’s Million Duck Campaign represents one of the most ambitious duck production efforts in modern conservation history.
Our scientifically proven Duck Production programs — Predator Management and Hen Houses — are designed to increase nest success and put more ducks into every flyway. Decades of research show these programs work.
Because of the incredible generosity of our supporters, Delta has now secured the commitments needed to fully fund the Million Duck Campaign over time. But many of those commitments will mature in future years through multi-year gifts, planned gifts, estate gifts, and long-term commitments.
That’s why continued support remains critically important.
Cash contributions and new commitments made today allow Delta Waterfowl to accelerate delivery right now — expanding operations, scaling proven programs faster, and putting more ducks into the air sooner.
Duck hunters have already helped make conservation history. Now we have the opportunity to bring the full promise of the Million Duck Campaign to life.
