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. 2023-2024 Grant Workshop was held at The Barrington White House on Thursday, November 9, 2023 from 4:00pm – 4:45pm with a reception following from 5:45pm – 7:00pm. Each grant recipient should demonstrate that they are reaching an unserved group of local citizens with a program that does 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. Grant Awards for 2024 are estimated to total $400,000. We look forward to the 2024 grant review process and announcing the grant award winners in April of 2024! Our Purpose
