Ducks Unlimited is a grassroots, volunteer-based organization. Its members are
conservationists and outdoor enthusiasts who live throughout the United States,
Canada and Mexico.

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, DU volunteers hosted more than
4,500 grassroots fund-raising events such as member and sponsor banquets,
shooting and fishing tournaments and golf outings. Event dollars represent some
of DU’s most important sources of revenue. Since event dollars are typically
unrestricted, DU is able to spend these funds in our highest priority areas and use
them to leverage additional funds from other sources. Recently, DU leveraged an
average of six additional dollars for every net unrestricted dollar raised.
