The National Friends of Public Broadcasting (NFPB), incorporated in 1970, is an autonomous and independent national organization for public broadcasting volunteers. Its purposes are to help local volunteer groups organize, encourage community involvement and support for public television, and create an informed national constituency of lay people to represent concerned citizens and the needs and problems of public television. It emphasizes the role and importance of the volunteer and promotes cooperation between station management and volunteers and the exchange of ideas among local volunteer groups. The collection documents the foundation and development of NFPB and its attempts to acquire initial funding, its early relationship with CPB and the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and its later developments and endeavors.
