Candidate
Sriskandarajah, Anu
Sriskandarajah, Anu raised $79,145 from 82 contributors across 3 Toronto municipal campaigns, 2018–2025.
Raised by campaign
Each bar is one campaign for one office. Totals are contributions filed with the City Clerk, less any the campaign returned.
Results
Official results from the City's poll-by-poll releases. Money raised per vote received divides contributions by votes — it is not what the campaign spent, because the archive holds contributions and not expenses.

Contributor types
Individual, corporate and union money across every campaign.
Every contribution came from an individual — no corporate or union money.
When corporate and union money was allowed
Corporate and union contributions were still legal in the 2006 Toronto election. They were banned for city council and mayoral campaigns starting in 2010.
But that ban did not cover school board trustee campaigns. They kept accepting corporate and union contributions until a province-wide ban took effect for the 2018 election.
Third party advertisers, which were required to register starting in 2018, can still accept corporate and union contributions.
A small number of corporate contributions to council campaigns exists in the database after the ban. Some may have been for goods and services, or improperly recorded. The data doesn't tell us.
This candidate ran for both council and a school board, which were covered by the two bans at different times.
Largest contributors
Across every campaign. A contributor is identified by their full name and postal code together; 1 of these gave in more than one election. Rows marked “combined” bring together records filed under different spellings or postal codes, matched by hand. Individuals are shown by postal area only; organizations in full.

Where the money came from
By forward sortation area — the first three characters of the postal code, which is the finest geography the City publishes for individual donors. Shading is by quantile, so each band holds a fifth of the areas with money: contribution totals are skewed enough that equal dollar intervals would put almost every area in the lightest band.
Toronto and beyond
14% of this money came from outside Toronto, which the map above does not cover.
Ranked areas
When the money came in
Monthly totals for one campaign. Contribution dates exist only from 2018 onward; the 2006–2014 Open Data releases never published them, so earlier campaigns cannot be charted this way.
2025 Councillor Ward 25 By-Election — Councillor W25 · 2 months of contributions
2018 Municipal Election (25 Wards) — Toronto District School Board W22 · 2 months of contributions
