Overview

Mission

We provide quality training, resources, guidance, and incentives for speech-language pathologists to prioritize stuttering as a focus area to enhance the quality of services available and advocate for the stuttering community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Through innovative programs and meaningful connections, we bridge the gap between speech-language professionals, educators, individuals who stutter, and their families-creating a nurturing ecosystem of support and understanding. In 2025, we successfully participated in the World Stuttering & Cluttering Organization Conference, continued our SLP Book Club, provided professional development coursework to speech and language pathologists, offered stipends and scholarships for therapists continuing their education, and provided our Ally of Stuttering designation to qualified therapists.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 83% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
