Delta Waterfowl Foundation is seeking to recruit a dynamic new Chief Development Officer (CDO).
About Delta Waterfowl Foundation
Founded in 1911, Delta Waterfowl Foundation (Delta) uses science-based solutions to produce ducks and to conserve prairie wetlands to ensure the future of waterfowl hunting. Delta’s vision remains steadfast – abundant ducks and endless opportunities for all waterfowl hunters. As the “The Duck Hunters Organization,” Delta conducts vital waterfowl research, trains the next generation of waterfowl biologists and scientists, and promotes and protects the continuing tradition of waterfowl hunting in North America.
The four key pillars of Delta’s organization are the following:
The mission, vision, and values of Delta Waterfowl are clear and have never been more vital to ducks and duck hunters in North America. Acres of quality breeding waterfowl habitat continue to shrink every year, while more hungry predators than ever roam the landscape where ducks nest. Waterfowl hunters too, face mounting pressures.
With the launch of the Million Duck Campaign, Delta is uniquely positioned and poised to amplify the organization’s impact by dramatically increasing the scope and scale of work across each of its four pillars. Delta will maintain and incrementally expand delivery of existing programs to fulfill the mission to produce ducks and secure the future of waterfowl hunting. Delta is poised to build on its current strategic plan with the following emerging strategic goals:
Today, Delta Waterfowl remains true to James Ford Bell’s founding vision, ever evolving to respond to the new threats and challenges facing ducks and duck hunters. Delta’s vision of abundant waterfowl and endless opportunities for duck hunters serves as a promise of a bright future — one with skies full of ducks and countless places to enjoy those magical mornings in the duck blind.
