The 2025 NAFCD + NBMDA Annual Convention will expand its charitable giving program to include three nonprofit organizations focused on strengthening North America's distribution workforce. The November 4-6 event will donate a portion of every registration fee to support industry-related causes, with attendees now able to select their preferred recipient during registration.

The convention's Give-Back Program has added the Next Generation in Trucking Association as its third beneficiary, joining the Floor Covering Industry Foundation and The National Woods Board in receiving support from the distribution industry gathering.

Each organization addresses critical workforce and community needs within the distribution sector:

The Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF), NAFCD's chosen charity, provides financial assistance to flooring professionals facing catastrophic medical crises. The National Woods Board (NWB), NBMDA's selected organization, works to address skilled labor shortages by expanding trade education programs in high schools across the country. The newly added Next Generation in Trucking Association (NGT) promotes trucking careers and develops employment pipelines through education, training, and industry partnerships.

The convention offers special registration rates for attendees who register by September 9. The event provides networking opportunities and educational programming for distribution industry professionals.
