Addressing the unmet needs of the community
The purpose of the Barrington Area Community Foundation is to establish a permanent, long-term fund for the betterment of the community. The Foundation will use the annual proceeds to support initiatives that benefit the community and maintain our quality of life. Photo courtesy of Quintessential Barrington Our Grant Workshop for 2023 grants will be held on Thursday, November 10th, 2022. Each grant recipient demonstrated it was reaching an unserved group of local citizens with a program that did not duplicate other community charities. All grants are audited and reported to the community. The Foundation will not grant to organizations that are largely tax-supported. The Grant Awards for 2022 totaled $369,050. We look forward to the 2023 grant review process and announcing the grant award winners in April of 2023! Our Purpose
