The NFPF helps archives across America preserve and present motion pictures that might otherwise be lost. We also partner with archives in other countries to save long-unseen American films so that they can be screened and studied here at home once again. For this preservation work, we receive federal money on the condition that we match it with donations and grants to keep our programs running. Contributions from film lovers like you make this all possible.</p> <p><strong>There are many ways to help. You can:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Donate now with your <a href="https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/1397805">credit card.</a></li> <li>Donate cash. <a href="/support/donate-by-check">Click here</a> for a donation form to print out and mail in.
