The New Zealand Nurses Memorial Fund Inc. (NZNMF)

In these challenging and continuing times of Covid -19 many people are experiencing financial hardship and we write to highlight the help available from the New Zealand Nurses Memorial Fund (NZNMF). NZNMF is closely allied with NZNO and its philosophy is that it is there to help when social services and someone's own resources and are not enough to meet their needs.

NZNMF was established as a benevolent fund in 1917 in memory of the 10 nurses lost in the sinking of the Marquette and has supported many nurses in times of financial hardship and emergencies for over 100 years. We welcome applications from nurses with at least two years’ post registration experience in New Zealand.

The Fund’s income comes from interest on its investments and also from bequests, donations and membership subscription. You can become a member or life member and support the fund to help others. Annual subscription $10 and life membership $100. You can also encourage donations and bequests.
