The Teak Foundation

The Adrienne Shelly Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting women filmmakers, established in memory of the multi-talented actress, writer, and director Adrienne Shelly following her tragic death in 2006. With a mission to foster female creativity in the film industry, the foundation partners with leading academic and filmmaking institutions to provide scholarships, production grants, and living stipends.

Since its inception, the foundation has awarded over fifty grants to notable filmmakers, including Oscar-winner Cynthia Wade and acclaimed directors such as Dee Rees and Ondi Timoner. Through generous donations, the foundation honors Adrienne's legacy and enables aspiring women filmmakers to realize their artistic visions.
