Eric and Marie Tee Endowment Fund

Established in memory of Eric and Marie Tee, this fund aims to strengthen the Eastern Bay of Plenty health sector by providing scholarships and local training opportunities for those working in Aged Residential Care, Nursing, and Dentistry. 

This fund is the family’s way of acknowledging the exceptional care Eric and Marie received. The family wishes to honour the dedication of their medical teams, many of whom were immigrants working hard to gain New Zealand certification. In recognition of this, preference will be given to applicants from a first-generation immigrant background. 

The fund supports the Eastern Bay community by helping healthcare workers upskill, ensuring they can continue to provide meaningful connection for seniors in rest homes and support for seniors receiving care within the community. 

The fund also remains flexible to respond to urgent community needs. 

Scholarships are open for applications in the month of August. 
Grants for group workshops/trainings are open in the month of June.
