President's Council logo

In any noble endeavor, there is a circle of friends - a core - that a leader can count on. For moral support, for friendship, for financial backing, for encouraging others. These individuals are wise, experienced, enthusiastic and dedicated.

They can see the future.

At JMU, we call them the President's Council.

Established in 2006, the JMU President's Council is a special recognition society of donors who make an annual contribution to James Madison University of $1,000 or more (while they establish their careers, alumni during their first five years out of JMU can join for $200 annually).


Thinking about joining the President's Council?

Sustained annual giving is essential to the financial health of JMU. Your ongoing annual commitment enables JMU professors and students to strive toward academic and personal excellence. These unrestricted funds provide support where it is most needed.
Your President's Council gift can directly help a JMU student or faculty member.

  • $1,000 will fund a one-time student scholarship award.
  • $1,000 will allow a professor to travel to present research at a major national meeting.
  • $1,000 will fund 10 domestic trip scholarships for students participating in the nationally recognized Alternative Spring Break program.

The President's Council is an elite group of donors. They understand the value of empowering Madison with the resources it needs to fund new ideas and initiatives.

Can the president count on you?
