The Foundation for Faces of Children (FFC) is a New England-based, not for profit, 501(c) 3 organization. We provide clear, accurate information and other educational resources to children born with craniofacial differences and their families.

The Foundation was founded by plastic surgeon John B. Mulliken, MD, and a handful of parents whose children were receiving treatment at the Craniofacial Centre at Boston Children’s Hospital. Organizers included Norman and Rita Bartczak, Fred and Polly Frawley, and Robert and Priscilla Bradway. With the assistance and support of Children’s Hospital nurse Dorothy (Dotty) MacDonald, RN, and coordinator Kathryn (Kit) Mount, initial efforts focused on developing funding for teaching materials and information for parents.

Today, the Foundation’s mission has expanded to address not only medical concerns, but also psychosocial and educational issues related to craniofacial differences.  To achieve this, FFC collaborates with leading specialists to provide up-to-date programs and services for patients and parents, regionally, nationally, and internationally.

The leadership of the Foundation is composed of many dedicated professionals, parents, affected adults and other interested individuals who recognize the importance of providing access to the best information and guidance in order to help the families of affected children find quality care. They all serve on a volunteer basis, and their many different viewpoints inform the shaping of policy and guidance of the organization.

The Board of Directors of the Foundation for Faces of Children is always looking for volunteers to join our ranks.  We are excited with the vision we have in continuing to assist both parents and patients along their journey and welcome individuals with new ideas and energy.

If you or someone you know is interested in bringing creative ideas and rolling up your sleeves to assist families and individuals dealing with craniofacial differences, please submit your interest to info@facesofchildren.org.
