Who We Are
United Way of Northern California (UWNC) is one of 1,200 local United Ways in the United States and among 1,800 globally. Each United Way is governed by a local volunteer board and operates autonomously.
Our local United Way began in 1953 and currently serves a nine-county area: Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama and Trinity counties.
Our Mission
Our mission is to fight for the health, education and financial stability of every person in our community.
We do this by working in close collaboration with non-profit partners, government agencies and the business community to advocate, support and deliver programs and resources that help improve lives.
Funds raised remain local and support the following:
- Disaster relief and case management
- School supplies to low income students, youth programs
- Covered California enrollment
- Opioid awareness & education
- Greater tax refunds through our VITA Program
- Grants to other agencies that fall under our mission
