Virginia Law Foundation

The philanthropic arm of the Virginia’s practicing bar for over 40 years, the Virginia Law Foundation has provided over $24 million in grants to support projects throughout the Commonwealth that facilitate access to justice, improve the administration of justice, and promote law-related education.

Donate

When you make an unrestricted gift to the Virginia Law Foundation, 100% of your contribution goes to our annual grants program, which supports nonprofits across the Commonwealth promoting access to justice, the Rule of Law, and law-related education.

You may also choose to direct their gift to support the Bobzien-Gaither Education Fund, which fuels our continuing education and community impact, or the Adam Roush Fund for Wellness, which enables the Virginia Law Foundation to make our inaugural Wellness Institute an accessible experience for lawyers and judges who need it most.
