ATB Financial – Financial Legacy Fund – unique funding structure for Ducks Unlimited
Projects Sponsor
Delta Management Group is the leading sustainability, ESG and clean tech focused search firm in Canada. Delta is proud to have founded the Canada's Clean50 Award program in 2011, and has been the primary sponsor for the past 13 years.
This 10 year program was created with a $5 million dollar loan from ATB, paired with a yearly donation that will cover the interest. DUC will use these funds to support a Revolving Land Purchasing Program to purchase and restore thousands of acres of wetlands. Once the land is purchased, wetlands are restored and the land is sold back to farmers and ranchers with a conservation agreement set in place. This great sustainability cause then works in a cycle since the funds from selling back the land will be used to purchase more land for wetland restoration and conservation. In just the first year, Ducks Unlimited has already been able to restore and conserve 1,200 acres – a very promising start.
