What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Client Travel and Financial Assistance
Client Travel
FACES provides financial assistance for expenses incurred while traveling away from home to a craniofacial center for reconstructive surgery and/or evaluation. This assistance is offered on the basis of financial and medical need and includes transportation, lodging, and food. Insurance and government medical assistance programs help to pay for surgeries but rarely pay for travel expenses. FACES does not choose the physicians or medical centers for the clients; that choice is made entirely by the family. Once a client is approved by FACES, every attempt is made to continue aid for as long as it is needed. FACES also pays for one accompanying person.
Information and Support Network
FACES furnishes information about craniofacial centers and publishes a brochure which further details the scope of our organization. FACES provides referrals to other available resources and organizations, maintains up-to-date information on specific diseases or birth defects, and assists in getting families in touch with other families who have a child with the same disorder. By connecting these families, FACES gives them the means to alleviate the emotional isolation that is often felt by patient and family. By sharing information and providing support, FACES helps to build a framework in which clients and their families can cope.

Awards
Independent Charities Seal of Excellence 2002
The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.
