Celebrate a proud employee tradition — Give to JMU

In 1918, two employees made the first JMU gift.

Agness and Raymond Dingledine Sr. created a student scholarship with a $10 essay contest.

Today, nearly one-third of employees give to JMU (the highest of any other JMU group).

Employee gifts make a difference in nearly every area of our university — scholarships, faculty support, facilities, athletics, classroom equipment — the list goes on and on.

Each gift is more than money. Each gift signifies a belief and commitment to Madison and our mission of preparing educated and enlightened citizens who lead productive and meaningful lives. That's what it meant for Raymond and Agness in 1918, and that proud tradition continues today.

Payroll deduction makes giving easier

Many JMU employees choose to participate in the Employee Giving Campaign through payroll deduction. You can download a payroll deduction form that you can print, fill out and return via campus mail.

Or, you may want to visit the Give to JMU Web site to make an immediate gift online, or to find out about other giving options.

Designating your gift

Please note: Information is available here about the various funds you may designate your gift to support.

Remember: a gift of $1,000 or more (or $200 for alumni from the class of 2003 or later) qualifies you for membership in the JMU President's Council.

JMU faculty and staff can join the President's Council by payroll deduction!
By initiating a $1,000 payroll deduction gift ($41.67 per pay period), you can become a member of the President's Council. Young Alumni (class of 2002 or later) who are also JMU employees can join by initiating a $200 gift (just $8.34 per pay period).
