"Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it may be a diamond in the rough." Mary McLeod Bethune 1875 - 1955 MBA is incorporated and governed by a Board of Directors. Since 1936, MBA has provided child care for children between two and five years of age. While children from all socio-economic backgrounds have attended MBA, emphasis is placed on the needs of inner city and at-risk families. We make every effort to accommodate the needs of these families to help them improve their lifestyles. As a non-profit agency serving primarily low income families, MBA has faced financial challenges over the years. The building MBA occupies is owned by the City of Lynchburg and is virtually rent free to the program. However, costs of maintenance and upkeep are MBA’s responsibility. We rely heavily on our fees as the major source of income. In addition, MBA receives Federal Food reimbursement as well as a United Way allocation on a monthly basis.
Mary Bethune Academy happily accepts gifts and donations throughout the year from individuals and organizations. As a non-profit organization and as a 501c3 corporation, all gifts are tax deductable. All gifts/donations are deposited into our general operations fund, unless restricted by the donor.
Scholarship Fund gifts help offset the cost of our sliding fee scale based on ability to pay. No
child is turned away based on the family(s) ability to pay.
Playground gifts are used to maintain the children's outside
play area, including new equipment, repair of existing, and
licensing standards. It does NOT include grounds work, such as grass
cutting and lawn maintenance.
