Support the Cultural & Community Reserve Fund

As of December 2022, the Friends of Barrington’s White House completed the Capital Reserve Campaign to care for the long-term capital maintenance of the House. With this fundraising behind us, we are focusing our efforts on raising funds for our Cultural & Community Reserve Fund.

As our area’s premier Cultural and Community Center, Barrington’s White House hosts world-class performances, speakers, and artists, as well as providing a gathering place for non-profit organizations. Many generous contributions from our community have supported our exceptional programming. Consider providing stable, long-term funding to allow us to continue and expand the number of quality programs we currently offer.
