Phase 1, built in the open. The ~200+ friends-group long tail and a precise citywide volunteer-hour total are known gaps. Data generated 6/5/2026.
Phase 1 seed. Partners and links are drawn from official Portland.gov park pages, the OPB investigation, and a deep crawl of the Portland Parks Foundation site — its published grant cycles (spring/fall 2020–2025) and Parks Champion / Joey Pope award announcements — each cited inline. This is a real but deliberately partial slice: PPF says its Friends & Allies Summits convene 200+ groups, but that full roster is not published as a single list (confirming each is the months-of-outreach fieldwork the spec flags), so the long tail and citywide volunteer-hour totals remain explicit, surfaced gaps.
