Addressing the unmet needs of the community
Expenses – 1998
The objective is to keep expenses as close to one percent of assets as possible so that almost all donated funds will become endowment. Our annual budget is based on a maximum of one percent of net assets. We know of no local foundation that has taken this low cost of operation as an objective.
Net Assets Exceeds $4.8 million – 2014
At the end of 2014, BACF net assets exceeded $4.8 million.
Grants
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.
Our Purpose
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.
