Our mission at Rickshaw Film Foundation is to uplift South Asian voices and stories within the entertainment industry through artist development, accessible collaboration, and community mobilization — unifying authentic storytellers while nurturing our rich cultural perspectives.

Here's a high-level look at what we've achieved in the last 4 years:

275+ Hours of Rickshaw led incubator programs
170+ Participants in Rickshaw Programs
100+ Short, Pilot, and Feature Screenplays developed in Rickshaw Programs
8 Production Company Partnerships
2 Distributor Partnership Screenings
20+ In-Person Meetups in LA, NYC, Chicago, and Mumbai
10+ Collaborative Events
185+ Creatives on the Rickshaw Rolodex
30+ Projects entering Production/Development

Rickshaw has been entirely grassroots and volunteer-led for the past four years, but we have now reached a point as a 501(c)(3) non-profit where we need your support to continue growing and providing meaningful opportunities for the community.

If you align with our mission to uplift South Asian voices and stories, please consider donating and helping us continue to craft an equitable space for South Asians in entertainment.

Your donations will go directly toward our programs, initiatives, and events and give storytellers the opportunity to hone their crafts and develop in their careers. Thank you so much for your consideration and for your continued support of Rickshaw Film Foundation.
