For over 60 years, the North American Decoy Collectors Association has been the heartbeat of the decoy collecting community. We're an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the heritage of American waterfowl decoy carving — a tradition that dates back centuries and reflects the craftsmanship, ingenuity, and sporting spirit of generations of Americans.
But preservation doesn't happen on its own. It takes resources to educate new collectors, maintain a vibrant community, and host the annual gathering that brings our world together. That's where you come in.
Your donation directly funds the programs and events that keep this tradition thriving. Whether you're a collector, a carver, a history enthusiast, or simply someone who believes in preserving American heritage — your support makes a real difference.
Every gift is put to work across four key areas that keep the hobby thriving.
Fund collector guides, identification resources, historical research, and mentoring programs that introduce new generations to decoy collecting. Your gift helps us publish articles, create how-to content, and connect beginners with experienced collectors.
Support North America's largest and longest-running vintage decoy and sporting collectibles show. Donations help cover event logistics, venue costs, seminar programming, carving demonstrations, and educational displays that make each year's show better than the last.
Help us grow and connect our nationwide network of 800+ collectors. Your support funds member communications, the private online community, regional networking efforts, and outreach to underserved areas where collecting interest is growing.
Contribute to efforts that document, catalog, and preserve the history of North American decoy carving. From recording the stories of master carvers to supporting research on regional carving traditions, your donation safeguards knowledge that might otherwise be lost.

In their own words — why members give back to the hobby they love.
NADCA introduced me to this hobby 35 years ago. Giving back is the least I can do to make sure the next generation gets to experience the same thrill of finding that perfect bird.
I give every year because NADCA does the work that keeps this hobby alive — the research, the mentoring, the annual show. Supporting it is one of the easiest decisions I make.
My grandfather's decoys sparked a lifelong passion. Donating to NADCA is how I honor that — and help make sure these stories and traditions are never lost.
Nearly six decades of community, preservation, and passion — here's what that looks like.
Founded in 1966 — in continuous operation ever since
