Review for Ducks Unlimited Inc, Memphis, TN, USA
In response to Ducksupporter's comments, the numbers he quotes on membership and acres conserved are in error. This is exactly the kind of Koolaid DU gives it's volunteers.
If you really want to find out how bad DU is, go talk to someone that used to work for them. It does not bode well for an organization when all former employees bad mouth the organization.
DU has become the laughing stock of the "critter" non profits. There are so many better, ethical organizations for you guys to volunteer for and support.
It's a miracle that Charity Navigator even gave them 2 stars.

Review for Ducks Unlimited Inc, Memphis, TN, USA
As a former employee of DU, I would bet that Ducks Unlimited is the most corrupt non-profit in America. All of their good employees and lead volunteers have left; their membership nationwide has dropped so low they will not publish the numbers; they cook their books so hard it would make the former CFO of Enron blush and their biologists understand that, because their projects are so small in scope, they have no impact on helping waterfowl - They simply can not handle "landscape" size initiatives like The Nature Conservancy. The only reason DU exists is to provide salaries to 6 executives, 50 support employees and about 40 biologists. Anyone who thinks DU really has a mission that involves waterfowl and wetlands conservation is just kidding themselves. It is so sad and unfortunate how the volunteers are duped. If any of the hunting magazines need information on waterfowl numbers or conservation, they go to Delta Waterfowl - DU has disappeared as an authoritative source. DU is truly a despicable and unethical organization.
