The Stuttering Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization[1] working toward the prevention and improved treatment of stuttering. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, The Stuttering Foundation was established by Malcolm Fraser in 1947 in Memphis, Tennessee[2]
The Stuttering Foundation provides a toll-free helpline and free online resources including referral services, support and information for people who stutter and their families, as well as research into the causes of stuttering.[3]
Today, Malcolm Fraser's daughter, Jane Fraser, is president of the Foundation. In 2007, Fraser was named the Nonprofit Executive of the Year by The NonProfit Times.[4]
The Foundation sponsors educational conferences, workshops and symposia,[5] and week-long intensive training workshops for speech-language pathologists.[6]
