455 $37 million in federal funds toward a total of $108 million for conservation projects. We recommend creating a similar federally chartered foundation dedicated solely to the preservation of American film. Affiliated with the Library of Congress and its National Film Preservation Board, this new foundation would secure private support for national preservation initiatives and be eligible to match these donations with federal funds. Federal money is a vital part of the funding partnership. The promise of a federal match acts as an incentive to corporate, foundation, and individual donors to view their gifts as seed money for public preservation investments. The foundation would work in cooperation, not competition, with existing organizations. The Board believes that the creative community and the communications industries could become key partners in the initiative. A new federally created foundation has the potential to: (1) build preservation relationships among archives, the film community and the industry to reflect changing technologies and public needs, (2) match public initiatives with donor interests, (3) foster constructive working relationships with federal grants programs so that each public preservation dollar is maximized, (4) extend national preservation programs into improving film storage and access, and (5) have the national base to address problems beyond the scope of a single institution. The National Film Preservation Board, working through the Library of Congress, will seek legislation to establish a new film preservation foundation. The foundation will be designed to forge public-private partnerships to attack film preservation problems and be eligible to receive federal funds to match corporate, foundation and individual donations. Members of the Board will enlist the support of their organizations for this initiative. 28 Redefining FUm Preservation
