In Pennsylvania, there is no state funding for those facing a death sentence.
You can help.
The Atlantic Center has had a thumb in the dam for over a decade, working millions of pro bono hours with a hyper efficient team and relying heavily on public defenders across the state and especially here, in Philadelphia.
There are always over fifty cases where the state is seeking to send another individual to one of the largest death rows in the world. With rigorous oversight and intervention, ACCR keeps the number of those cases that end in death near zero. In 2022 there was just one death verdict - and it could have been prevented.
This work doesn't happen without you. ACCR is largely funded by small gifts from frontline workers with enormous hearts. Every contribution we receive is invaluable to our growth in further addressing the needs of hundreds of incarcerated people deserving of your generosity.
As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, your gift is tax-deductible to the extent of the law.
Interested in giving another way?
A lot of our donors prefer to mail checks to our office at 1315 Walnut Street, Suite 905, Philadelphia PA 19107. As donor advised funds increase in popularity, that's another way folks like to give. If you want to talk about the best way for you to make a donation, or learn more about our funding you can always contact Maura Egan at 267-566-7216 or megan@atlanticcenter.org
