NAYDO Mission

Inspire and strengthen the philanthropic culture of the YMCA
 

 NAYDO Vision

NAYDO will be a global catalyst for inspiring and equipping YMCA leaders, staff, and volunteers to embrace and advance a culture of philanthropy that transforms communities.


More Than a Conference

and impact of a NAYDO membership are year-round.
