Delta Waterfowl Foundation

Hunter Programs - Includes Hunter Recruitment, Retention and Hunting Outreach. The initiatives used in hunter recruitment include First Hunt and Delta Waterfowls - Waterfowling Initiative programs. Both of these initiatives are accomplished via a wide range of tools including Communication, Research, Demonstration, Outreach and Volunteer Delivery. The outcome for these programs are to recruit new hunters, attract hunters back to the tradition, retain hunters and protect the rights of hunters which include access issues and gun control issues throughout the US and Canada. Also included is Waterfowl Heritage Funds Program Initiative or Local Chapter Programs. A portion of funds generated at the chapter level are returned to the chapter to do local projects within their region. Projects include youth hunts, henhouses, scholarships and a variety of programs which help local communities.
