Join Our Monthly Giving Program: The Living Faith Society
Our monthly supporters fund 1/3 of our general operating fund during the school year.  With 175 alumni, parents, community members, friends, and students supporting us on a recurring basis, we are able to better plan and budget for our programs during the year.  

When you join the Living Faith Society, you are not only helping students grow in their faith, you are engaging deeper in your own.  You will receive monthly e-mail updates about CCM, hear from students you are having a direct impact on, and be enrolled in our annual book club where you will receive a book you can read along with our student leaders!  It is an easy, impactful way you can make a difference and stay connected with JMU CCM for years to come.  

Become a Matching Gift Donor
We host an annual matching gift challenge where generous donors can offer up their donations as a matching gift!  When you do this, you inspire others with your generosity to make a gift of their own and support a great program in the process.

The matching gift has supported our local food pantry, our Alternative Spring Break mission trip program, our fall retreat, and more!  We would love to help you support one of your favorite CCM programs and make a huge impact on our ministry.  

Our next Matching Gift Challenge will be in October 2020.  We are looking for a group of generous donors, or one outrageously generous donor, to pledge gifts to inspire our community to give.  Please contact Erica if you are interested in becoming a Matching Gift Donor.  She would love to talk to you about where your hard-earned money can be put to good work.

Make a One-Time Gift to our Annual Fund
Unanticipated gifts help us fund our regular expenses throughout the year and are a welcome surprise when they are received.  We depend heavily on the kindness of our larger, one-time givers in order to supplement our budget.  You can make an online donation, or send a check made out to "JMU Catholic Campus Ministry" to 1052 South Main Street | Harrisonburg, VA 22801.

These are just a few of the many areas of our ministry that are in need of your support.  Pick a program or a project to help fund today! 

CCM Gear: 
One of the best ways to advertise our ministry on campus is visually.  Each year, we hand out a free t-shirt to all students who register with CCM in order to get the word out.  We see students wearing their CCM shirts at the gym, at football games, at dining halls, and in their dorms.  

In order to not charge our students for these shirts, we absorb the entire price.  It will cost us $5,000 to purchase the shirts and other CCM gear for the year, and we could use your help.  

Fall Retreat: 
In 2019, we took 110 people on our Annual Fall Retreat where students grew in faith and fellowship.  This program has quickly grown into one of the most anticipated events of our ministry, and we hope each student gets the opportunity to join us.

We ask students to pay $40 of the $140 cost, leaving a large chunk for our ministry to cover.  Your support will give students the opportunity to encounter Christ and get connected to their faith early on in the school year. 

Alternative Spring Break Program:
Some of our most beloved mission locations include Camden, NJ; Kansas City, MO; and Haiti!  As you can imagine, it is not easy task to organize domestic and international trips.  It is a significant cost each year, and we do our best to subsidize as much as possible so that cost to the student will not be a barrier to them going on these impactful trips.  

Students pay roughly $2,000 for international trips, and it costs about $300 to bring a student on a domestic trip.  You know the old saying, "Some give by going, some go by giving."  You can be the reason a student is able to have a mission trip experience and open their eyes to the needs of the world. 

"TASTY THURSDAY": 
Coming together in fellowship for a meal has the potential to be one of the most powerful evangelization tools.  Our biggest community gathering outside of Sunday Mass aims to bring all of our students together to grow in fellowship and to invite all on campus to sit around a table and share a meal.  We host roughly 30 of these meals each year, completely free of charge to our students.  Feeding college students is no small task, as you may well know!  $6,000 of our budget goes towards our efforts of providing a welcoming space for students to come and eat and share in fellowship!
 

It takes a lot for our ministry to run.  Join us!  Help us build the Kingdom of God and bring Christ to our students and our students to Christ!
