About Monique Burr Foundation

The Monique Burr Foundation for Children (MBF) is a nonprofit organization that was founded 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. MBF’s mission is to protect children by providing the best comprehensive, evidence-based prevention education programs that address child abuse, exploitation, bullying, cyberbullying, human trafficking, digital abuse, and other digital dangers.

One out of four children will be victimized in their lifetime. However, child victimization can be prevented through education. MBF Prevention Education Programs, including MBF Child Safety Matters® for elementary schools and MBF Teen Safety Matters® for middle and high schools, MBF Athlete Safety Matters® for youth athletes, and MBF After-School Safety Matters® for after-school and youth-serving organizations are comprehensive, research-based, primary prevention programs, that educate and empower students and all relevant adults with information and strategies to prevent, recognize, and respond appropriately to bullying, cyberbullying, digital dangers, trafficking, and all types of child abuse and exploitation.
