Starting in 2013 with a few visionary women who wanted to engage with JMU, Women for Madison has grown exponentially — from intimate meetings in homes to a full-scale, first-of-its-kind women’s philanthropy group at JMU.
“Every time I leave JMU, my cup is full. Every single time. My giving is simply an overflow of that feeling of gratitude.”
— Barbara Bouldin (’87, ’20P)
