Harnessing Our Power. Opening Our Doors. Women for Madison’s Amethyst Circle Founders started something big and bold for James Madison University women and students. Learn more »
This group of visionary women joined together in 2021-23 to make a tremendous impact on scholarships at JMU. Their individual commitments of $15,000 combined together to help launch and establish the Amethyst Circle as a philanthropic force at the university that unites them all. We are forever grateful to these founding members.
