The Office of Annual Giving

Everyone has causes close to their hearts – and we hope that preserving a high quality, affordable education at JMU is close to yours. Please consider adding James Madison University to the list of charities that you support each year - and thank you if you already have.  Your gifts directly support the Madison students and faculty who are making a difference in the world.

Annual donations from alumni, parents, employees, students and friends are the backbone of giving at the university. Donations ranging from $1 to $25,000 per year enhance JMU's student-centric environment. By making yearly contributions, you help provide a critical and consistent stream of support for James Madison University.

What is the Madison Fund?

When you make an annual gift to JMU, you may direct your donation to any program that matters most to you. We hope that you will consider designating all or a portion of your gift to the Madison Fund, which gives the university maximum flexibility to address the greatest needs and opportunities across campus.
