The Quad Cities Cultural Trust (QCCT) has announced that applications are open for the 2025 Adler Theatre Fund (ATF) Grants. The grant program provides funding for performing arts organizations to stage their own productions at the Adler Theatre in downtown Davenport.
Organizations are invited to submit innovative, community-centered proposals designed for impact. Strong applications will demonstrate artistic excellence and vision, financial and operational sustainability, and a commitment to cultural accessibility and collaboration. All performances must take place at the historic Adler Theatre.
The application deadline is 5 p.m., Friday, Aug. 29. To apply, follow this link. Completed applications should be submitted to Tiffany Bainter at [email protected].
The Adler Theatre Fund supports cultural experiences that are inclusive, inspiring and rooted in the Quad Cities’ arts community. The grant aims to back performances that spark imagination and enrich lives throughout the region.
The Adler Theatre Fund, which is separate from QCCT’s funding process and its Legacy Partners, is a pivotal part of the QCCT mission.
“The Cultural Trust exists to enrich art and culture for all,” said Jen Lewis-Snyder, QCCT’s president and CEO. “This grant supports performances that inspire, educate and entertain — reinforcing what we already know to be true: the Quad Cities is the creative capital of the Midwest.”
