Portlanders Want A Real Voice & Real Choices

Your donation helps Portland residents vote directly on how our public money gets spent. Any amount matters (even $1) we need to show strong support across the city. Thousands have already joined this movement. Participatory budgeting works, it builds real community, and it makes government actually accountable. Let's create change together.

Tired of feeling like city hall doesn't hear you? While the usual suspects dominate the conversation, everyday Portlanders are left on the sidelines. But what if you had real power, not just to speak up, but to directly decide how your tax dollars get spent?

That's what Your 2 Cents gives you. A direct say in how Portland spends 2% of our budget. That's millions of dollars of your money going exactly where you think it should. Want better parks in your neighborhood? Safer streets? More resources for local programs? You decide. Not lobbyists. Not the usual suspects. You.

This is your chance to stop watching from the sidelines and start building the Portland you want to live in. When everyone has a seat at the table, we create a city that works for all of us.

We mean it, we really want to hear from you. What matters most in your neighborhood? What would you fund if you had the power? Whether it’s a big idea or a small fix that would make your block better, your voice matters. Tell us what’s on your mind, and let’s start building a Portland that works for all of us.
