Global Engagement The American Folklore Society maintains an international membership base, with approximately one in eight members from outside the US. This presents opportunities to offer multilingual digital services, international conference sponsorships, or global collaboration tools tailored for diverse cultural audiences.

Digital Content Expansion Recent initiatives include launching new journal sections and online reviews, indicating a focus on accessible, engaging scholarly content. Selling digital publishing solutions, content management platforms, or webinar hosting services could align with their expanding digital presence.

Community Engagement With new hires focused on community engagement and educational support, there is potential for partnerships in outreach programs, educational technology, or audience development initiatives that enhance folklore dissemination and cultural education.

Support for Cultural Research As a scholarly society with small operating revenue but active content offerings, they may need technology solutions for research management, conference platforms, or member engagement tools to improve operational efficiency and knowledge sharing.

Funding & Partnerships Given their modest revenue and similar organizations with larger budgets, there is opportunity to offer grant management systems, sponsorship facilitation, or fundraising platforms that can support the society’s growth and project funding needs.
