A grant from a trust or foundation can be allocated to a specific project, from a film restoration to an education workshop, or towards more general costs across the BFI , such as running the BFI Reuben Library. We are also incredibly grateful to receive donations towards our essential core costs.
Funding from charitable trusts and foundations helps support:
- The preservation of our national film heritage at the BFI National Archive
- World-class restoration of fiction and documentary film
- Increased public access through the digitisation of our exceptional collections, which range from 1895 to the present day
- Life-long learning through our national Education programme, encompassing support for schools to free senior matinees and much more
- The BFI Library, which holds the world’s largest collection of moving image materials
- Our ambition to increase the number of Mediatheques across the UK , offering free access to over 2000 titles from the BFI National Archive
- The BFI ’s dedication to bringing world cinema to a wider audience, thereby encouraging creative cultural exchange
- Music commissioning for silent film to bring classic cinema back to life
- Preservation and screening of innovative artists’ films
