About the Foundation

Malcolm Fraser, Jane's father, felt the same dread of speaking in public
that King George VI experienced in the 1940s. Inspired by the plight of
"Bertie," Fraser, a successful businessman and stutterer, went on to
establish and endow the 64-year-old nonprofit Foundation in 1947. The
Foundation provides a toll-free helpline, 800-992-9392, and free online
resources on its Website, www.stutteringhelp.org, including services,
referrals and support to people who stutter and their families, as well as
support for research into the causes of stuttering. Please visit us at
