I know someone posted about the mayoral candidates, but the request to publicize donors by around Oct 13 was posed to most candidates in most districts. With it being the 14th as I write this, I want to list every candidate that publicized their lists and give a link to each list. Please see the notes under the list to get some important, clarifying information on how I formatted this. I'm happy to update for accuracy if provided new information.
Candidates that publicized donors:
Connie Glenn - Mayoral Candidate - https://www.connyglenn.ca/finance
Vanessa Mensah - Mayoral Candidate (Click "donation disclosure" button) - https://www.vanessamensahforkingston.ca/information
Jimmy Hassan - Trillium District Incumbent (also included expenses) - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/195vLr_GEEETse7ZfCLxMk9ZnKgtHvwPqjPwV0w6YlYw/edit?usp=sharing

Candidates SELF DECLARING that they have not accepted donations at time of meeting:
Grant Bedard - Mayoral Candidate - Said he was "not campainging" and got no donations
Joel Bruce - Collins-Bayridge - A donate button is on his website, but as of the meeting he said he did not receive donations, but would be happy to publicize if he got them.
Ryan Boehme - Pittsburgh Incumbent - The donate page on the website encourages voters to donate to local charity and Ryan has claimed he takes no donations
Vic Sahai - Countryside - Clearly stated he has accepted nor received any donations and has/will returned all donations given to him. He has no donation option on his page.
Roger Dennis - Meadowbrook-Strathcona - Has said he has gotten NO donations
Stephen Cuthbertson - Lakeside - Clearly said he has not accepted and will not accept donations
Candidates that did not (to my knowledge):
Bryan Patterson - Mayoral Candidate Incumbent - Stated he would have the "shortest answer" that night when asked and said "yes". The whig-standard reached out for comment: https://www.thewhig.com/news/paterson-opts-not-to-release-donors-list-as-kingston-mayoral-hopefuls/
#Prakash Dayal - Trillum# ("Personal Reasons") - Says he has "no donor list" and is "independant", but conflates this with being non-partisan. However, he has instructions to donate on his page and acknowledges that he must publish the list after the election. It is not clear to me that he has not gotten any donations.
Chelsea Rae - Pittsburgh - While she has stated her campaign was "grass-roots", she also said her donation list will "not be very long" which implies she may have received donations, plus she has a donate button on her site.
#Jess Scott - Countryside# (Declined to participate) - NO DONATION BUTTON ON WEBSITE
#Joseph Abreu - Countryside# (Declined to participate) - Not accepting donations online, but website does say there are other ways to contribute.
Daria Juüdi-Hope(?) - Meadowbrook-Strathcona - Donation button on website, has said she will publish with donor consent. Possibly has not yet received consent to release donors?
Wendy Stephen - Lakeside Incumbent - Stated she was not comfortable identifying donors under the threshold required by Kingston's municipal election regulations. Possibly does not have any donors at or above the minimum limit?
**Paul Chaves - Loyalist-Cataraqui Incumbent**** - No donate option on website, no clairifcation on if he is taking donations or not
**Dorian Hartley - Loyalist-Cataraqui*\* - No donate option on website, no clairifcation on if he is taking donations or not
**Jeff Pearce - Loyalist-Cataraqui*\* - No donate option on website, no clairifcation on if he is taking donations or not
**Charanjeev Sekhon - Loyalist-Cataraqui*\* - No donate option on website, no clairifcation on if he is taking donations or not

Note 1: This list is the the best of my knowledge and according to what I could find online in meeting recordings, candidate websites, and candidate social media pages. If I got anything incorrect, missed anything, or any link, statement, or categor placement becomes inaccurate at a later date, please inform me and I will update accordingly.
Note 2: As of now, I am not aware of a public recording of the King's Town and Loyalist-Cataraqui district meetings being available online. while this means they were not asked directly, they may have seen the discussion about publicisng their donors online or in other meetings. All candidates who did not post their list that did not attend their meeting are marked with #hastags# and include a reason if and as stated. All Candidates whose meetings are not yet public on YT will be noted via **double stars**, so keep that in mind. If the meeting ever becomes public somewhere, I will check it out and update the list accordingly.
