Thank you for your consideration of making a financial gift to the JMU Lifelong Learning Institute. Lifelong learning contributes to the well-being of our members, our university, and our community.
All gifts are gratefully received and help support our mission to provide quality educational programs to enrich the lives of adult students in the central Shenandoah Valley.
As a self-sustaining program, our annual budget is based on the membership and program fees that students pay. Donations go a long way to help support, sustain, and enhance educational programs by ensuring flexibility to respond to current and future needs, such as technology, space, programs, and access.
