Maintaining health and caring for the ill. Dealing with problems related to sexual identity and relationships. Supporting creative expression through the arts and writing. The New Harvest Foundation receives financial support from many donors, most of whom contribute to it under a periodic pledge system. One-time gifts and bequests are also received.
All donations are fully tax deductible.
In 1993, the Foundation established an endowment fund to attract additional contributions from persons seeking a more permanent vehicle for charitable gifts. A separate entity, the New Harvest Foundation Endowment is funded by designated donations from individuals and by bequests from wills and trusts. Ten percent of general donations are also allocated to the endowment fund semi-annually. The Foundation awards grants twice yearly, in January and July, with applications for financial support due on May 31 and October 31. Much of the money New Harvest grants each year is channeled through well established social service agencies.
