Basic Preservation Grants are federal grants that support the creation of preservation and access copies of American orphan films; applicants may request up to $18,000 for laboratory work. The grants are offered twice yearly. The larger Matching Grants enable experienced institutions to undertake complex preservation, reconstruction, or restoration projects; through this federally supported program, applicants may request up to $50,000 in cash and must contribute one-fifth of the total laboratory costs from other sources. Partnership Grants distribute preservation services donated by laboratories and post-production houses. Like the basic preservation grants, partnership grants support the creation of preservation masters and public service copies of American orphan films. Avant-Garde Masters Grants, funded through the generous support of The Film Foundation, are designed to preserve motion pictures significant to the development of the avant-garde in America.
