The Renfrew Center Foundation
Advancing the Education, Prevention, Research & Treatment
of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are the most deadly of all mental illnesses, and
among the most difficult to treat. The Renfrew Center Foundation
has accepted the challenge to fight the devastating effects these
disorders have on individuals and families.
The Renfrew Center Foundation Mission
The Renfrew Center Foundation is a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization
advancing the education, prevention, research, and treatment of
eating disorders.
We advance our mission by:
- Providing professional training and educational opportunities
for mental health and medical professionals.
- Creating awareness in the general public through the production
of educational seminars and publications and participation in
media-related activities.
- Conducting research into the pathology and recovery patterns
of people with eating disorders.
- Educating policy makers to remove barriers to treatment.
- Providing assistance for women and girls.
The Renfrew Center & The Renfrew Center Foundation
 The
Renfrew Center Foundation is supported financially by private donations
and funding from The
Renfrew Center, the nation's first freestanding facility
exclusively dedicated to the treatment of eating disorders. The
Renfrew Center now operates seven facilities in five states.
For many years, The Foundation was wholly funded by The Renfrew
Center, but as our challenges have grown, so has our need for support
from individuals, corporations, foundations, and charitable organizations.
