What if supporting waterfowl conservation was as simple as rounding up your everyday purchases?

Recorded live from DUX 2026, host Jimbo Robinson sits down with Zach Frasier of Elev8 to discuss DU Roundup, a new fundraising platform designed to make supporting Ducks Unlimited easier than ever.

The conversation explores how the program works, why micro-donations can create a meaningful impact when combined across thousands of supporters, and how modern giving habits are changing the way conservation organizations engage members. Zach also shares insights into the technology behind the platform, donor security, and the philosophy of making charitable giving more accessible for everyday supporters.

Beyond the technology, the discussion highlights the importance of philanthropy, building conservation habits, and creating new pathways for people to support Ducks Unlimited’s mission regardless of their giving level.
