gesponsertes ADR-.Programm
Explanation:
A "sponsor" in connection with an ADR listing is the issuing house that holds the underlying securities on which ADR's are based.

Although "sponsern" may sound strange (if not awful) in German, this is the technical term most frequently used in this context. Note that the existence of a sponsor would be expected with an ADR programme; depending on the context, you might be able to avoid the dreadful word...

Explanation:
gesponsert always sounds so much like a combination of charity and advertising. "gefördert" sounds a little bit more serious to me.
