NAYDO Academy Philanthropy School Fundamentals


At the Conference, each fundamental provides an overview of a financial development area and is geared toward volunteers; frontline, program, membership, and branch staff; and staff new to financial development. If your role has changed or you need a refresher, the fundamentals are for you.  

  
Thank you, DBD Group, sponsor of NAYDO Philanthropy School Fundamentals 

2025 Fundamentals will be held the first day of the conference, Wednesday, April 30, so you can be better prepared for the educational workshops and Hot Topics. Fundamentals are free if you are registered for the conference.  

Fundamentals are held at the same time, 9:45-11:45 a.m., so you have to arrive early and select one. If other attendees from your Y attend the conference, spread them out to cover different topics and share your learnings back home. Recordings and slide decks are available after the conference.
