What is the purpose of the Waterfowl USA Endowment Fund?
The Waterfowl USA Endowment Fund is a permanent investment portfolio, managed by our Fund Managers, based on our Investment Policy and under the direction of the Trustees of the Endowment Fund. This Fund will provide financial support to current and future Waterfowl USA programs in perpetuity, providing earnings over the decades in support of wetland habitat conservation activities. Eventually, tax-deductible donations to the Fund will never be spent; they will build a balance from which an annual distribution to Waterfowl USA will be made. Unrestricted Endowment earnings support the general operating budget. Other Endowment earnings support membership, chapter support, youth programs, or other programs, as specified by the donors.
