Planned Giving and James Madison University

The following pages will offer ideas as to how you can be a part, truly a partner, in the shaping and developing of our future through your gifts and support of James Madison University. Your rewards will be more than the potential tax savings. In helping others can be found unequaled personal and emotional fulfillment …cherished moments that can't be duplicated in any other way.

There are as many different ways to support JMU as there are needs for your support. Planning a gift is more than just finding a need. There are a lot of factors to consider. If planned giving is a new thought, you might want to take a moment to consider some of the factors. Another reference tool for your use is our chart briefly describing some of the charitable means that are available to you - see How Can I...?

The stories that follow this page share some of the different ways people can become partners with us in changing lives. Take a moment to see how people - perhaps in circumstances similar to yours - have found ways to support  causes that are important to them - the way James Madison University is important to you.
