## Description

Folk Alliance International (FAI) is a global arts nonprofit that was founded in 1989 with the goal of connecting folk music leaders and sustaining the community and genre worldwide. Their mission is to preserve, promote, and present folk music in all its diverse forms. To fulfill their mission, FAI offers various programs and initiatives. One of their notable efforts is the preservation of the folk genre through their Lifetime Achievement award, which honors legendary figures in folk music for their cultural impact. FAI also organizes an annual conference that brings together 3,000 members of the folk community from around the world. The conference features showcases, educational panels, workshops, networking opportunities, and more, providing a platform for artists and industry professionals to connect and collaborate. In addition to the conference, FAI presents the Finest Folk showcasing series at their Kansas City office and other national showcasing events in the roots genre. These events provide artists with the opportunity to present their music to a wider audience. By supporting FAI, you are helping to shape the future of folk music. Donations are crucial for sustaining their programs and initiatives, and ensuring that the rich heritage of folk music continues to thrive.
