UWNC acts as a fiscal sponsor to support capacity building for local organizations and groups working to solve community issues in an equitable way. See our current fiscal sponsorships below.
Shasta Equal Justice Coalition (SEJC)
Shasta Equal Justice Coalition (SEJC) began from the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2020. It exists to work for fair and equal justice within the criminal justice system in Northern California communities through advocacy, education, and strengthening partnerships.
SEJC is a network of organizations and individuals who are committed to equity and justice for every community member, inclusive of all identities, backgrounds, or circumstances. SEJC advocates for greater transparency between community residents and law enforcement, educates about racial biases, and strengthens partnerships between advocacy groups and the criminal justice system.

Oliview Farm: Growing Food with Reverence
Oliview Farm is a local Shasta County farm with a community-based approach to agriculture. Oliview Farm employs the French Intensive farming method in its market garden by producing more food on less acreage, conserving resources, and increasing sustainability. Oliview takes full advantage of the four seasons by growing in-season produce that benefits the planet and its people.
Its mission is to “Approach the production and provision of food with respect for the innate dignity and beauty of each player in the process – seed, soil, animals, people – as well as the process itself .” This mission guides the farm’s daily activities as it seeks to do farming differently.
