About the company
The American Film Institute (AFI) is a nonprofit cultural organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the art of film. Located in Los Angeles, California, AFI has been registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2006, with its current registration valid through January 2026. The organization provides specialized services in film preservation, education, and cultural programming, with a focus on supporting diverse filmmakers and advancing film scholarship through various grants and initiatives.
Over the past several years, AFI has received multiple federal grants primarily from the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Office of Postsecondary Education. These grants have supported a range of critical programs, including a tuition-free professional training program for underrepresented filmmakers, the annual AFI FEST film festival, and the AFI Docs Forum, a virtual conference focused on professional development for nonfiction storytellers. A particularly significant project is the three-year, $750,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to document and provide intellectual access to short films from 1910-1933, with a specific focus on illuminating the artistic contributions of women and people of color in early film. During the COVID-19 pandemic, AFI also received several Emergency Relief Fund grants from the U.S. Department of Education to help address pandemic-related challenges in the education sector. The grants demonstrate AFI's commitment to preserving film history, supporting emerging filmmakers, and promoting diversity and inclusion in the film industry.
