Support religion coverage at the Winnipeg Free Press

Your donation is now eligible for a charitable tax receipt

A generation ago, most Canadian newspapers covered religion. Today, the Winnipeg Free Press is the last major Canadian newsroom with a dedicated religion reporting position.

This coverage continues only because readers like you step forward to fund it.

Since 2019, the Religion in the News project has published more than 1,200 stories, bringing depth, context and understanding to public life.

But this work isn’t guaranteed. Without continued support, it could disappear.

If this kind of journalism matters to you, now is the moment to act.

Give today. Help keep religion in the news.

“We write about religion since it is an important part of people’s lives. We want to show people of faith the Free Press recognizes them and the contribution they make to the community. At a time when religion is all too often dismissed, discounted and derided, we believe faith remains a strong influence in public life. To ignore its impact on our national discourse would be to shortchange our audience.”
