527 Donations

VPAP has posted thirteen donations from "527 Groups" since Thursday.

Show all Recent 527 Donations

527 groups raise money for political activity such as voter mobilization and issue advocacy. As long as they stop short of expressly advocating the election or defeat of a specific federal candidate, 527 groups are not subject to contribution limits imposed by the Federal Elections Commission. 527s have become a convenient way for corporations, labor unions and special interests to flow unlimited contributions into the political process.

The 2009 Virginia elections are the first test of a state law aimed at bringing greater transparency to 527 activities in state politics.
