Donation Information

The Virginia Capital Database Project is in the process of collecting information from every death penalty case in Virginia since the reinstatement of capital punishment in 1976 and storing the information in a digitally-accessible format. With the extensive assistance of volunteer students, information is being compiled from every stage of the capital trial, appellate, and post-conviction process. As the historical portion of the database is being collected, appointed capital defense counsel, including Virginia's four regional Capital Defender Offices, will have the capacity to enter new capital case information prospectively. As a result of the generous matching grant awarded by the Virginia Law Foundation, your donations will be immediately matched in full to a total amount of $25,000! The VLW grant remains in place through December 1, 2009.
