A combined row may represent many gifts; it is not one donor. Reported names are not verified identities. The squares show gross receipts, not money left after refunds.
13 of 187 matched individual donor entries appear on more than one reported date. These are not confirmed counts of people.
Where the cash came from
| Reported source type | Cash | Share of cash | Records |
|---|---|---|---|
| City matching funds (reviewed payor) | $88,100.00 | 50.9% | 3 |
| Unidentified / aggregate reporting | $24,006.00 | 13.9% | 160 |
| Itemized individuals | $55,374.00 | 32.0% | 203 |
| Political committees | $4,213.00 | 2.4% | 7 |
| Business entities | $500.00 | 0.3% | 1 |
| Labor organizations | $500.00 | 0.3% | 1 |
| Candidate and immediate family | $350.00 | 0.2% | 1 |
| Other identified source types | $0.00 | 0.0% | 0 |
Matching receipts are classified first, then unidentified/aggregate records, then the reported source type. “Other” does not mean an individual. Generic reporting labels are not treated as donors. Types follow the filing: a union-affiliated PAC may appear under political committees, not labor organizations. This is not a reviewed economic-sector classification.
Reported geography of cash outside City matches
- Reported Portland, Oregon$52,374.00 (61.7%)
- Other reported Oregon locations$5,938.00 (7.0%)
- Outside Oregon (reported state)$2,625.00 (3.1%)
- Location unknown / aggregate$24,006.00 (28.3%)
Reported counterparty city/state on nonmatching cash receipts; aggregate categories and unrecognized states stay unknown. Portland postal locality is not a city-boundary or district-residency test. The denominator here is $84,943.00, not all cash contributions.
When receipts were reported
The largest 2026 Monday–Sunday week outside reviewed City matches was 2026-09-14–2026-09-20: $10,825.00. This recent week remains provisional. This describes timing, not why contributors gave.
Monthly cash, loan and noncash records
Gold bars are reviewed City matches; green bars are other cash. Each profile uses its own scale. The table supplies exact values and separate financing measures.
