The Valentine FundThe Valentine Fund was initiated in 1987 to provide financial assistance to members of the Portland-area theatre community in times of medical or personal emergency. PATA is proud to have supported our artists in times of need for more than 30 years. The Valentine Fund is made possible by donations from the community, businesses, and PATA members. We hold an annual fundraising drive and accept donations throughout the year. Are you a PATA theatre artist in need?Valentine Fund FAQsHow long does the application process take?
