Have you ever loved something so madly that
you'd do anything to further it's prosperity?
Students, faculty, and staff are going mad
for so many different things at JMU.
How are they showing their support?
Through involvement,
and through donations.
As state funding decreases, it becomes harder for our programs to maintain
stability.
Just 15 years ago, state support
covered forty-six percent of the funding for
professors, academics, research, and financial aid.
Today, state dollars cover only twenty-nine
percent.
Without more private support, tuition has to shoulder the burden.
This current landscape
is a heavy weight on a number of students.
Personal financial risks are even threatening
early departure for many Dukes today.
JMU faculty, staff, and students are coming together
to help bring this threat to a halt. How?
By giving back and supporting the programs they love the most.
Whether you're giving to keep students at JMU, to support athletics, student affairs, scholarships, or academic
departments, your gift makes an impact -- regardless
of size.
This is our community. We look out for one another, and we look out for the future
of JMU. 
With your help, our future will shine even brighter. 
So let's GoMAD for Madison.
Pledge today to make a donation and to make a difference.
