What is AIS?

Advancement Information Services is the business information unit for the division of University Advancement. We maintain donor records, manage data on our alumni and friends, identify prospects, assure data integrity, and develop reports so that the university may advance relationships with JMU’s external community.

AIS comprises seven offices; The Office of The Associate Vice President, Advancement Gifts and Records, Data Analysis and Reporting, Matching Gifts, Prospect Research, Quality Assurance, and Advancement Training. Each office has its own sub-site that you can navigate to on the left side of each page.
