Breaking Up Is Easy To Do!
         

If you'd rather not make one big donation to MBEF, break it up. You can set up almost any kind of installment. Once a month. Once every two months. And so on, just so long as you complete your gift by June. Frankly, we'd rather you give a bigger gift, in smaller pieces, than a smaller gift all at once. The more you give, the more we can do for your child. At every school. At every grade level. Give your child an edge. Give to MBEF.
