[Michlib-l] Register for a 2022 NFPF Grant by March 25th

[Gallo, Biz (MDE)]

Friday, March 25th marks the registration deadline for the National Film Preservation Foundation’s federally funded grant program, made possible by the Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2016.

The NFPF offers two types of federal cash grants that support the preservation of historically and culturally significant American films. Completed applications will be due Friday, April 29th.

Basic Preservation Grants fund laboratory work to create preservation masters and access copies, and are open to nonprofit and public institutions in the United States that provide public access to their film collections. The awards range from $1,000 to $20,000. For more information go to https://www.filmpreservation.org/nfpf-grants/basic-preservation-grants

Matching Grants help experienced institutions undertake larger-scale projects; applicants may request cash stipends of between $20,001 and $75,000 to fund laboratory work. They must “match” the NFPF grant with outside cash support equal to one-fifth of the award. Only institutions that have successfully completed a NFPF-funded project may apply.  For more information go to https://www.filmpreservation.org/nfpf-grants/matching-grants

If your institution has a project that fits grant guidelines, you are encouraged to apply. Should your organization be new to film preservation, you can contact the Programs Manager listed blow to answer questions and guide you through the application process.
