Hough St. Barrington, IL 60011     FAQs   Is the Barrington Area United Way really different from other non-profit organziations? I support several local organizations. What does the Barrington Area United Way do that other organizations don't do? How effective is the Barrington Area United Way at managing and distributing the funds to the agencies? What does my $100 donation buy? Why should employees consider giving to the BAUW campaign in a time of uncertainty regarding their own employment situation? Who determines how funds are distributed?
