Impacting the Second Madison Century

TWO THOUSAND NINE marks the year that James Madison University begins its second century as a higher learning institution. Though we are excited for what the second Madison Century has to offer, we acknowledge that we have begun it under a cloud of very uncertain economic times. As a donor, you may be faced with slower business, losses in the stock market, and other difficulties. As the recipient of your generous gifts, we want you to know that we understand the hardships that you and others now face.

Most importantly, we want to thank you for your continued support of JMU students. Your gifts ensure that despite the economy, students today receive every opportunity to succeed as those who preceded them. Thank you for your belief that a James Madison University education is a solution to the problems that we face as a nation and to the continuation of prosperity.

James Madison University is proud to suscribe to these industry-accepted tenants for protecting our donors' interests. Read the Donor Bill of Rights.
