Simmons First Foundation awarded Ducks Unlimited a grant for $100,000 to support the Big River Conservancy project located along the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tenn. and West Memphis, Ark.

In 2021, Simmons First Foundation established a $3 million endowment to support environmental efforts to aid conservation and sustainability projects. The Simmons First Foundation develops and expands programs, especially those serving areas with the most in need. “The Simmons First Foundation is honored to support the mission of Ducks Unlimited,” said Tommy May, chairman of Simmons First Foundation. “Our organizations believe in the power of supporting our communities, and Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 15 million acres in North America throughout the last eight decades. We are honored to provide a grant which will support the organization’s habitat restoration and conservation efforts and provide a better quality of life for wildlife and our communities.”
