Bill Baccaglini

As CEO of The New York Foundling, Bill leads one of the oldest and largest child welfare organizations in the country and has moved The Foundling to the forefront of issues affecting at-risk children and families. The Foundling has had a long history of advancing the science and practice of child welfare and, under Bill’s leadership, The Foundling has been a prominent advocate for innovative initiatives that have transformative impacts on the lives of children.

Bill was one of the early proponents of the use of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) and The Foundling today is not only utilizing EBPs to achieve better outcomes for its own families but has become a global leader in this field. Through its participation in publicly available trials and studies and through the creation of the Implementation Support Center (ISC), The Foundling provides data and practical training to service providers and governmental entities in the U.S. and overseas.
