Annual Fund

Many thanks to the more than 2,000 alumni, friends, parents, faculty and staff who made gifts to Jacksonville University through the JU Annual Fund last year! Because of your philanthropy, JU continues to make life better through teaching, research and service.

As JU students pursue educational challenges, resources must be replenished to keep up the pace. Contributions to the JU Annual Fund from generous donors who find a way to give every year enable the University to make great strides toward excellence in every area and discipline. Anyone can contribute to this unrestricted fund throughout the year to assist with University-wide priorities such as financial aid, library and computer resources and faculty recruitment and retention.

On-Line Credit Card Gifts
You can make a gift or pay your pledge securely on-line by credit card (MasterCard, VISA, Discover, or American Express). Your donation will be credited the same day we receive your credit card information, and we will mail you an acknowledgment confirming the details for your gift. Also, all donors who give on-line will be eligible for a free gift.  To give on-line any time, day or night, please use this easy, secure form.

Pledge or Give by Mail
If you would like to make a gift or pledge by mail, please print out this pledge form, complete it, and mail it with your pledge (include amount of your pledge) or your gift (made payable to "Jacksonville University") to the Office of Institutional Advancement at this address:

If you make a pledge by mail, it will be recorded upon receipt, and you will receive periodic reminders with a reply envelope to facilitate your gift. It’s a great help to JU if pledges are paid as soon as possible after they are made, so that the funds can go to work on behalf of Jacksonville University students and faculty.  If you make a gift by mail, you will receive an acknowledgement letter after your gift is recorded.
