Harvard University saw a notable financial setback in the 2024 fiscal year, with a net loss of $150 million in donations due to backlash over the Ivy League’s response to antisemitism on its Massachusetts campus.
Harvard was one of the focal points of antisemitic protests and attacks after the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel last year. The university has faced heavy backlash over its handling of the protests and antisemitism in general.
Former Harvard President Claudine Gay even resigned in January after giving a controversial testimony regarding anitsemitism in front of Congress.
Donations were down by $151 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to fiscal year 2023. Donors pulled a total of $193 million from Harvard’s endowment in 2024, but new donations for current use gifts increased by $42 million, according to Fox Business.
“About 8% of fiscal year 2024 operating revenue came from gifts for current use, primarily payments on prior pledges,” Harvard Vice President for Finance Ritu Kalra and Treasurer Timothy Barakett wrote in the university’s financial report. “At over $525 million, current use giving reached the second highest level in Harvard’s history.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
