PLANNED GIFT LEAVING A LEGACY

Your planned gift is an investment in JMU’s future. Naming the university in your will or as a beneficiary allows you to leave a legacy reflecting your passion for what was and what will be. You are ensuring the Madison Experience continues for tomorrow’s generations. You can make a one-time gift or one that lives in perpetuity through an endowment. You can become a member of the Madison Founders Society in several ways: by naming the James Madison University Foundation Inc. in your will or trust; gifting real estate or appreciated stock; creating life income plans; or identifying the JMU Foundation Inc. as beneficiary of life insurance or retirement plans. These options may offer valuable tax savings. Most importantly, they support what matters most to you at Madison. CORPORATE GIFT BUILDING A MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIP When your company supports JMU through philanthropy — whether by matching employee gifts, sponsoring a program, or partnering on key initiatives — you’re making a strategic investment in your company’s values and future. A corporate gift to JMU can help develop your future workforce, advance research and technology, encourage innovation across industries, and strengthen the communities where your employees live and work. With a wide range of programs and partnership opportunities, JMU can help you advance shared goals and create long-term value. Let’s build something meaningful together.
