In 2021 the Adler Theatre Foundation partnered with The Cultural Trust and officially became the ‘Adler Theatre Fund’.

This partnership allows the ATF to continue it’s mission of supporting diverse programming at the Adler Theatre while utilizing the administrative capabilities of TheCultural Trust.

The Adler Theatre Fund operates a funding process separate from that of The Cultural Trust and their Legacy Partner Organizations.

The ATF applications open in August of each year and funding decisions are made in the fall by The Board of Trustees.

A successful application will display a well-organized proposal that includes financial sustainability, collaboration, and cultural vitality for a performance or series of performances at the Adler Theatre in Davenport, IA.
