Background

At the 1970 Conference of NZFGW, Nelson Branch initiated a fund for short-term grants and suggested that other Branches make donations to maintain the fund. When Harriette Jenkins, a life member of the Nelson Branch, died later that year the Fund was named after this gracious and generous lady.

Harriette Jenkins was deeply interested in, and willing to help, women keen to enhance their learning. Since graduation from Victoria University in 1912 she worked consistently for the advancement of women's training and education.
