The Annual Ask is one of the main fundraisers for MVA’s Parent Association. This year, we are looking to raise $25,000 and we are asking every family to donate $50. Your donation can be spread over multiple payments by choosing PayPal. If your family are able to give more, please consider increasing your donation. No donation amount is too small. MVA is a Title 1 School, and we fundraise for every child regardless of their family’s ability to pay. The MVA Parents Association is a registered non-profit, which makes all donations tax-deductible!

How to Donate:

There are three ways to donate:

1. PayPal
   Allows all major debit and credit cards or PayPal account.
2. Zelle
   Scan the QR code.
3. Contact Kaitlin at kfuchs2@doeexternal.nyc
   Arrange for a cash transaction.

Please check if your company provides corporate matching donations. Let us know if they do so you can increase our chances of meeting our goal!

Need a receipt for tax purposes? One of our treasurers will ensure you receive an itemized receipt as soon as possible. If for any reason you don’t receive one, please contact our Co-Treasurers at dvidal9@doeexternal.nyc and slee-wong@doeexternal.nyc.
