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.

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!
