Make A Donation To Make A Difference
BEF is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. Your contribution will go directly to our programs because we are run almost entirely by volunteers. Please support the Benin Education Fund by donating today!
Please donate to BEF. Our programs are funded primarily through donations from dozens of individuals in the U.S. and Canada. We also receive in-kind support, including office space and school supplies, from several individuals and organizations in Benin. BEF partners and supporters include Out of Africa® distributed by CIO, IBM, the International Monetary Fund's Civic Program, the U.S. Peace Corps in Benin, Lead Alliance, and Diplomatic Language Services.
