Schulberg is president and executive director of IndieCollect, whose mission is to save American independent films from the risk of extinction. She is also a longtime advocate of "Off-Hollywood" filmmakers.  Schulberg currently serves on the advisory committee of the Women's Film Preservation Fund (created by Women in Film & Television), and is a member of the Association of Moving Image Archivists.
