The Adrienne Shelly Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to the memory of writer/director/actress Adrienne Shelly, is being founded by her husband, Andy Ostroy, chairman and CEO of Belardi/Ostroy ALC LLC.

Plans include a Women's Filmmaking Scholarship Fund, with a particular emphasis on awarding film school scholarships and helping women make the transition from acting to directing. "I know what Adrienne would want most would be to help women get a chance to pursue their dream," said Ostroy in a statement.

More initiatives will be announced at a later date.

Those wanting to contribute can send checks made out to The Adrienne Shelly Foundation, via Belardi/Ostroy ALC LLC, 16 West 22nd Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10010. Checks should be post-dated Dec. 15th, until the legal status of the Foundation is finalized.
