Unleashed: The Campaign for James Madison University

It’s time

Alumni, donors and friends have long known that we share something remarkable at Madison. Now, after a breathtaking rise in recent decades, James Madison University is ready to take the national stage as a leading voice in a new era. Achieving this will require everyone in the JMU comunity to step forward and say, “I’m in!”

Your commitment means everything.

Unleashed: The Campaign for James Madison University will propel us forward as we go big and break through, providing significant funding for five campuswide, nationally relevant goals.

5 goals: Find your passion

In FY19 and FY20, record giving from donors like you pushed the campaign past $170.5 million and set the university on course to hit its targets by 2022. Please join fellow Dukes and keep unleashing the momentum!
