Fraser is Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs

For nearly 90 years, Fraser has worked to ensure that every individual can participate fully in their community.

That commitment began with our founder, Mrs. Louis Whitbeck Fraser, who chose to educate her daughter after she became deaf following an illness rather than institutionalize her, as was commonly recommended at the time. Her determination to challenge barriers and expand opportunities continues to guide Fraser today.

Since then, every Fraser program and service has been designed to help people overcome obstacles, build independence, and live with dignity, connection, and purpose.

We recognize that every person brings unique experiences, perspectives, strengths, and needs. We strive to create welcoming environments where clients, families, employees, volunteers, donors, and community partners feel respected, valued, and supported. We are committed to continuous learning so we can better serve the diverse communities that rely on Fraser.

Fraser welcomes people of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, beliefs, and life experiences. We are committed to providing compassionate, person-centered services and creating a workplace where everyone can contribute, grow, and succeed. We are committed to fostering awareness, understanding, and respect for individuals and families, while ensuring that every person is treated with dignity and respect.

At Fraser, everyone deserves the opportunity to belong.
