About MBF
The Monique Burr Foundation
A Legacy of Child Abuse Prevention & Advocacy
The Monique Burr Foundation for Children (MBF) is a nonprofit organization located in Jacksonville, FL. MBF was started by Edward E. Burr in 1997 on the one-year anniversary of the death of Monique Burr, his late wife, to continue her legacy of child protection and child advocacy. The organization has a history of child abuse prevention and advocacy; however prevention education is now our exclusive focus. Although our strategies may have changed over the years, our core mission has remained the same – to protect children by providing the best comprehensive, evidence-based prevention education programs.
Research shows that child victimization is preventable through education, which is why we created MBF Prevention Education Programs. MBF Programs educate and empower children/teens (Pre-K – 12th grade) and relevant adults with information and strategies to prevent, recognize, and respond appropriately to child abuse, bullying, cyberbullying, trafficking, and other forms of child victimization.
MBF is now a leader in prevention education with our programs having reached over 14 million children throughout Florida and the United States.
