===The Annie Awards===
{{main|Annie Award}}

Since 1972, ASIFA-Hollywood has hosted an annual awards ceremony to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the art of animation. Originally designed to honor the lifetime achievements of veterans of the field, the Annie Awards now recognizes the year's best animated productions and individual achievements in the field of animation. Qualified members participate in the nomination process and final voting. {{cn|date=February 2017}}

===Film preservation===
Prior to 1950, motion pictures were shot and printed on unstable, flammable [[nitrate film]] stock that decomposed over time, placing many early animated films in danger of being [[Lost film|lost]]. Through the Animation Preservation Project, ASIFA-Hollywood seeks out to save endangered cartoons, and raises funds to preserve them on safety film stock and digital film.{{cn|date=February 2017}}
