Call for Presentations
2025 NAYDO Conference on YMCA Philanthropy - Now Closed 

NAYDO's mission is to inspire and strengthen the philanthropic culture of Ys. We do this through educational opportunities throughout the year as well as our annual conference on philanthropy. Our intended impact is that all YMCAs embrace a culture of giving to develop and sustain abundant resources to meet their community needs.

Educational efforts align with the goals of our Philanthropy Alliance members: YMCA of the USA and YMCA Canada. Members of the NAYDO Council Education Committee identified topics in each educational track for priority consideration at each year's conference. 

Have a success story you would like to share? Submit your workshop idea through NAYDO's Call for Presentations process. Or, contact NAYDO Virtual Learning Director Kristen Obaranec to suggest a topic for one of the Educational Tracks if you do not want to be a presenter.

Presenters for the NAYDO Conference on YMCA Philanthropy are selected by the NAYDO Conference Planning Team based on recommendations from the conference track deans. The Call for Presentations opens at the 2025 Conference for 2026, and presenter selection takes place during June and July 2025.
