• 🌱 Leave a legacy that grows the future of food. A gift in your will or estate plan can power scientific innovation that redefines the future of food. By including New Harvest or New Harvest Canada in your plans, you help advance cellular agriculture for the public good—making nutritious, sustainable food more secure, transparent, and equitable for generations to come.

How to Get Started

Creating a legacy gift is personal and thoughtful. We recommend working with a financial advisor and a lawyer to make sure your plans reflect your priorities and provide for your loved ones.

Legacy gifts of any size can make a meaningful impact—and may offer tax benefits for you and your family.

Two Simple Ways to Give

1. Residual Bequest

Leave a percentage of what remains in your estate after other gifts and expenses are distributed.

Sample language:

“I bequeath _______% of the residue of my estate to New Harvest (U.S. EIN: 20-1425438, 1401 21st Street, Suite 4556, Sacramento, CA 95811) or New Harvest Canada (Charity #711985135 RR0001, 9826 77 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6E 1M4) to support its work advancing cellular agriculture for the public good.”

2. Specific Bequest

Leave a fixed amount, percentage of your estate, or a particular asset (such as real estate or artwork).

Sample language:

“I give the sum of $_______ (or % of my estate, or a description of property) to New Harvest (EIN: 20-1425438) or New Harvest Canada (Charity #711985135 RR0001) to support its work advancing cellular agriculture for the public good.”

Tip: You can also include “contingent” gifts that only take effect if a named beneficiary does not survive you. Your lawyer can help with this.
