70 Page four • Increasing the availability of films for education, research and public exhibition. • Developing public-private partnerships to restore selected films, share preservation information, and repatriate "lost" American films from foreign archives. However, the key proposal which serves as the necessary centerpiece for the entire plan is to create a new federally-chartered foundation which would raise funds for two related purposes: (1) to promote the preservation of and public access to America's film heritage, concentrating on those films not preserved by commercial interests, and (2) to further the implementation of other components of the national plan and related activities. The basic concept of the foundation is simple. It is envisioned as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the District of Columbia. Working in close coordination with the film preservation community, it will seek to raise private gifts (both cash donations and in-kind contributions) and will be eligible to match those gifts with a limited amount of federal funds. The foundation in turn will establish grant programs to make its assets available to non-profit film preserving institutions throughout the country. Grants will be awarded only for specific projects, and no foundation funds will be used to cover administrative overhead on any project. The types of projects eligible for funding might include: grants to fund the archival preservation and restoration of film collections; grants to help establish regional climate controlled storage facilities to house endangered collections from many institutions; grants to make collections available to the public through cataloging, the striking of access and exhibition copies, and even the digitizing of collections of special educational interest to facilitate their access over the Internet.
