Jack White donates $200,000 to sound recording charity
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 30 July 2013
Having donated $142,000 to a Masonic temple earlier this year, Jack White has now dished out a bit more of his hard earned cash to the National Recording Preservation Foundation. $200,000, in this case.
The charity, which was established in 2010 by US Congress as part of the National Recording Preservation Act, supports institutions in preserving sound recordings. This donation, the organisation’s Executive Director Gerald Seligman said in a statement, is a “game changer”.
He added: “With this contribution we can now put up our basic structure, begin enacting the preservation plan – and give out our first grants. We’re committed to doing that right away, and certainly within the coming months”.
