Every time it seems Portlanders can’t get more generous, they dig a little deeper.

More than 16,000 people donated $7.7 million to the 2021 Give!Guide campaign, which closed at midnight Dec. 31. That’s a record-breaking figure—$1.1 million more than the previous all-time high in 2020.

Give!Guide, presented by WW, raises crucial operating funds for 202 nonprofits in the Portland metro region. This year’s goal was to raise $6.5 million. We ended up with 119% of that goal.

A special thanks to our presenting sponsor, Morel Ink, major sponsor NW Natural and support from The Oregon Community Foundation.

The 16,696 donors made 25,450 donations, as people returned again and again to give a little more.

We, and these exceptional organizations, say: Thank you.
