Our Work Beyond the Conference

Changing the Tune

In the final year of our work with Majestic Collaborations, we produced multiple resources for our community through the Changing the Tune project, including an e-book on producing accessible events and a seven-day digital course on building creative resilience for organizations. We appreciate all of the work Majestic has put into this project and are grateful to a grant from Performing Arts Readiness, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Folk Charts

This is the thirdyear that Folk Alliance International has managed the monthly folk radio charts, in addition to distributing the weekly NACC folk charts. The charts are shared weekly via email and posted on social media, and the email subscribers have grown to 1,400 folks since we first launched.

Membership

This year we continued to see a drop in our average membership numbers, which is typically related to the amount of registrants at our annual conference. Our team has been working diligently to bring our membership back up to pre-pandemic numbers, and we have some exciting projects in the work to help serve our members even better!

Group Exemption

As a continued benefit of FAI membership, last year we had 50 non-profit organizations as part of our Group Exemption program, which allows small organizations to register as 501(c)3 non-profits under our IRS certification. This simplifies the process of verification for these organizations and helps keep their documents organized and filed on time.
