Since 1998 we have received more than $9.0M in contributions and through careful stewardship have raised another $8.0M in investment income to create a permanent fund addressing unmet needs in the Barrington Community.
Grants
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.
