The Stuttering Foundation
of America: A History
Stuttering. This often misunderstood
disability affects over three million Americans. And despite decades of
research, both basic and clinical, the causes are still largely unknown.
The history of the Foundation is the story of how one
person with a significant stutter led a successful life and made a lasting
difference in the lives of others with the same disability.
In 1947, Malcolm Fraser, a young man in Memphis,
Tennessee, decided to do what he could to help others who stutter. He knew about
this disability from personal, often painful experience. He met with one of the
foremost authorities of the day, Dr. Charles Van Riper, to discuss founding a
nonprofit charitable organization to help those who stutter.
The organization Fraser founded became today’s
Stuttering Foundation of America. Its goal was to provide the best and most
up-to-date information and help available for the prevention of stuttering in
young children and the most effective treatment available for teenagers and
adults.
More than 55 years later, the Stuttering Foundation
continues to pursue these same goals, although the tools to accomplish them are
more varied and widespread. As it did when Malcolm Fraser turned his dream into
reality, the Foundation dedicates itself to the contemporary concerns of those
who stutter.
The Stuttering Foundation of America is a tax-exempt
organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is
classified as a private operating foundation as defined in section 4942(j)(3).
Charitable contributions and bequests to the
Foundation are tax deductible, subject to limitations under the Code.
