India Currents is an award-winning, nonprofit news organization bringing Indian Americans stories that explain and explore living in the United States. Established in 1987, we are the oldest newsroom dedicated to covering America’s Indian diaspora of 5 million, the fastest-growing Asian population in the United States.  

Our mission is to strengthen civic engagement within the Indian diaspora by applying a cultural lens to mainstream narratives, elevating underrepresented voices, and engaging with social justice issues.

Your support helps us provide free and accessible nonprofit journalism that addresses the issues facing our community and identifies solutions to build a better California for all.

There are other ways to give: you can send a check, support us through a donor-advised fund, donate shares of stock, or contribute matching dollars. Tax ID: 83-3257703.
