Youth - Youth Education Fund (JR McKenzie)

 
J R McKenzie Youth Education Fund
 
There once was a chain of department stores throughout NZ, owned by the J R McKenzie Family.  When these shops were sold the money from the sale, was invested and some of the annual interest earnings donated to New Zealand Rotary to administer as the J R McKenzie Youth Education Fund. (YEF). 
 
J R McKenzie Youth Education Fund in District 9930 (YEF)
 
The D9930 Committee for YEF is Chairperson Elizabeth Dunn (Frankton-Te Rapa), Tony Richardson (Rototuna), Corolyn Stephenson (Te Aroha), Ken Haines (Stortford Lodge) and Greig Mercer (Stortford Lodge).
 
Financial support from the YEF may be claimed for glasses, uniforms, shoes, school books, epi-pens and other necessities needed for a child in a needy family to safely access education. (See Flyer below)
 
Applications can be made at any time. For more information, visit the Fund’s website: www.youtheducationfund.org.nz
 
Applicants must apply to a Rotary club in District 9930 for assistance on behalf of a claimant (the family). Each Rotary club is advised to have a Club representative or Youth Committee. that receives such applications, assesses their authenticity and the amount of claim and emails a copy of the application form for each applicant and a club summary form (attached) with details of the claimants to Elizabeth Dunn,(edunn@outlook.co.nz.)  The applicant is usually a school, NZ Police, a community welfare organisation, and the like.
 
The committee has guidelines which clubs may find helpful in knowing how we operate. They are as follows:
 
Procedure:
  1. All applications must be made to a Rotary club or YEF Committee member on the appropriate Application Form. (see below). Any applications sent directly to the committee will be redirected to the appropriate Rotary club. With an NGO application, the NGO must write a covering and supporting letter to the local Rotary Club. School claims must be made through a Rotary Club.
  2. The club must make contact with the applicant and check the authenticity of the claim.
  3. When the club has approved the application it should be emailed to the Committee together with a completed ‘Club Form’ (see below).  We have a flyer, (see below) which can be helpful to clubs that are handling claims.
  4. The Club Form should indicate the number of school-aged siblings in the claimant’s family, the purpose of the claim, any money the club is prepared to give to supplement the claim and clear information requested at the top of the form re-contacts.
  5. The club form is emailed to the Committee Chair: edunn@outlook.co.nz
  6. If the Fund has funds available, clubs should expect a turnaround time of 2 weeks.
 
Important Points to Note:
  1. Our normal payment is up to $300.00 per claimant but this amount can be increased if there are other school-age children in the family.
  2. Typically a single payment will be made to cover all the claims on the Club Form. This is accompanied by a summary of what the payment covers
  3. If funds are limited preference is given to applications where the sponsoring Rotary club has indicated it will contribute financially.
  4. We do not pay for School Fees. 
  5. Camp fees may be paid provided there is evidence that the parents have made some part of the payment.
