In today’s fast-paced world, FAI invites you to Slow Down and Listen as 2025 comes to a close. This campaign is a call to pause and connect—with music, with each other, and with the causes that unite us. By contributing to our mission, you help build bridges, foster community, and create meaningful change. Join us in amplifying in the power of folk through your support this Giving Tuesday and beyond.
Make a donation
As a way of saying "thank you" from us at Folk Alliance International, all donors will receive a branded FAI luggage tag along with a slow down
and listen sticker.
Folk Alliance International is a Kansas City-based non-profit with a mission to serve, strengthen, and engage the global folk music community through preservation, presentation, and promotion.
A gift to Folk Alliance International is an investment in the future of folk. We serve the depth and diversity of the genre by providing resources to all roles of the folk music industry — including artists at every stage in their career and a network of small and large businesses, non-profit organizations, and initiatives.
Donations can be made to our charitable mission (for operational support), or to specific funds. Donations to FAI are tax deductible in the United States.
