James Madison University is currently seeking philanthropic support for a wide range of academic and athletic purposes and is in the early stages of an intensified period of private fund-raising. Priorities include:

Capital Projects:

• New and renovated facilities for athletics and the performing arts
• Improved buildings and athletic fields for student recreational programs
• A new laboratory building for the Departments of Chemistry and Physics

Endowment and Program Support:

• Faculty Chairs
• Professorships
• Teaching excellence
• Student academic and careercounseling
• Community service learning
• Summer research internships
• International programs
• Scholarship support

Our current fund-raising effort is placing particular emphasis on growing the University's privately funded endowment to $100 million by 2013. This need is becoming increasingly important as more demands are placed on the public treasury and fewer state resources are made available to support higher education.
