2020 Donors to our two GoFundMe Charity Campaigns: The Power of $10 & Giving Back to Legal Education

The health and financial crisis created by the COVID-19 virus increased the already considerable need for access to justice, especially among Virginians who have lost their jobs. To help meet this need, and to further support our grants which fund law-related nonprofits, we launched the “Power of $10 campaign on GoFundMe Charity’. Thank you to these individuals who enabled us to reach our goal of $5,000 in just over two months.

Thank you to all who donated to our second GoFundMe Charity campaign during October 2020. All donations to our “Giving Back to Legal Education GoFundMe Charity” campaign were credited 100% to fund the 2021 Virginia Law Foundation grants.
