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.

Support the Oral History Project!

Donate to the Oral History Project! The Folk Alliance International Oral History Project is an effort to capture and preserve the voices, memories, and experiences of the people who have shaped this community across generations.

Through filmed interviews and archival storytelling, this project will document the artists, presenters, volunteers, industry leaders, cultural workers, and community builders whose contributions have helped define folk music and its evolving ecosystem.
