Barrington Area United Way

We Do What No One Else Does

The Barrington Area United Way is your hometown United Way. Local volunteers raising money from local residents and businesses to support local agencies and programs and our community.

The BAUW follows a structured process to address problems that affect our community as a whole:

Utilize Surveys to Prioritize the Problems Facing Our Community
Raise Funds Through Local Campaigns
Review & Evaluate the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Local Non-Profit Agencies and Programs
Allocate Funds to Programs Making the Largest Impact on Resolving Social Problems Within Our Community.

Of course, we can't do it alone; We need your help. Please consider supporting your community by supporting the Barrington Area United Way.

Underneath everything we are,
underneath everything we do,
we are all people.
Connected, Interdependent, United.
And when we reach out a hand to one,
we can influence the condition of all.
That's what it means to
LIVE UNITED

BAUW Community Impact Collaborative

Working together to address the issues of teen alcohol and drug abuse in the Barrington communities, Barrington Area United Way has been an active partner in the Barrington Area Drug Prevention Coalition (BADPC) since its inception in 2004. The work of the BADPC is critical to the well-being of our community. The Barrington Area Drug Prevention Coalition is made up of volunteers from our schools, local governments, law enforcement, local hospital, health and human service agencies, community organizations and concerned residents. The mission of CDPC is to "reduce the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse in our community trough education, prevention, and intervention strategies and encourage healthy alternatives."
