What will your donation support?
All donations support the Foundation’s work to preserve at-risk audio collections! Our primary way of doing this is through preservation grants to libraries, archives, and cultural heritage collecting organizations. Since 2012, we have supported the preservation a wide array of recorded sound media and different genres: from LPs to reel-to-reel tape, and from traditional American folk music to radio broadcasts to one-of-a-kind field recordings of American musicians to historical elements of sound recording technologies! Learn about more examples of audio heritage preserved with support from the National Recording Preservation Foundation at our NRPF Grants Page, where you can read about collections we’ve supported.
