For ten years, LiKEN has stayed close to the ground, supporting local leadership in rural communities impacted by extraction, climate disruption, and economic instability. Our community partnerships span diverse cultural and geographic regions across the United States, from Appalachia, the coast of Louisiana, and beyond. 

Proceeds from the Gala benefit LiKEN’s General Fund, which supports our core operations and growing team. These resources help sustain programs focused on clean water, safe housing, sustainable livelihoods, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
