The center could not function without the support of the local community, coordinated through Shenandoah Valley Economic Education, Inc. This nonprofit organization was founded in the early 1970s to promote teaching about economics and the free enterprise system in the central Shenandoah Valley. Today SVEE provides the funding necessary to put a full-time teacher consultant in the field to help promote economic literacy.

SVEE also serves to coordinate funding from the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County schools, which provide partial support for the teacher consultant program. In recognition of this funding, the Center has the Harrisonburg-Rockingham area as its primary service area.

Support for economic education is also available by telephone, mail and e-mail for the secondary service area from Buena Vista-Lexington in the south to Strasburg in the north.

Beyond the local area, the JMU Center for Economic Education operates in affiliation with:

• National Council on Economic Education. The NCEE provides national leadership in economic education, with its EconomicsAmerica program administered through more than The JMU Center for 200 Centers for Economic Education.
  
• Virginia Council on Economic Education. The VCEE coordinates the activities of the 12 Centers for Economic Education in Virginia.
