Support the War Chest

Reader support keeps local veterans' stories and archival research free for everyone in Windsor-Essex. Windsor War Chest is part of Windsor News: free to read, owned and run here.

Who we are

Windsor War Chest is published by Windsor News. It remembers Windsor and Essex County service with a chronology, galleries and local accounts checked before names go up. Every picture carries a credit and a source. Family records appear only after permission is confirmed.

Why support us

That work takes time: reading service records, checking captions, writing to families and archives, and building the pages so the history stays free. Reader support pays for that time. It means we answer to you, not to anyone we cover.

It keeps the War Chest free. The chronology, galleries and local stories stay free to read for everyone.
It pays for archival research. Rights checks, source records and new local accounts take desk time. Support helps us keep doing that.
It stays independent. Money from readers comes with no strings attached. No one who gives can ask us to cover, change, delay or drop a story.

The Poppy Fund link on this site goes to Tecumseh Legion Branch 261. That money goes to the Legion, not to Windsor News. Support on this page is separate: it funds Windsor News work on the War Chest.

Supporters never steer the news

Supporters never influence our coverage. No one can pay to have a story published, changed, delayed or removed, and giving does not buy access, interviews or a say in what we cover. We cover supporters the same way we cover anyone else. Read our ethics and standards.

About tax receipts

Windsor News is published by Kyle L. Stewart, operating as Fenrir Productions, a sole proprietorship. It is not a registered charity, so we cannot issue tax receipts for donations. Your support is a gift to keep local news and the War Chest going, not a tax-deductible donation.
