About Funds Raised During Diggin'Dukes

One hundred percent (100%) of funds raised in support of JMU Women's Basketball during the Diggin’Dukes campaign immediately go to the JMU Women's Basketball Sport Program Fund (restricted-use fund) and benefit the JMU Women's Basketball student-athlete experience.

Sport program funds are restricted-use funds that can only be utilized by the individual sport program. 100% of gifts made to sport program funds go to the selected sport program and are 100% tax deductible. 

If our goal is achieved, funds that exceed our goal will go to support our team operational needs during the 2023-2024 season. 

If we do not achieve our goal, funds raised during the Diggin’Dukes campaign will go to support team operational needs during the 2023-2024 season. Funds will go to support team operational needs and are allocated at the discretion of our coaches and administration.
