Over the years, the TEIA Board of Governors has recognized the importance of having a fully funded Trustees’ Fund to preserve, protect, and maintain the grounds and buildings of TEIA. In 2000, the Club embarked on a ten year program to build Trustees’ Fund endowment to $100,000. The Fund is currently about $20,000 shy of that goal, and we need your help to ensure that the Club is protected. With the new roof going in shortly, keeping the Trustees' Fund properly maintained is of particular importance.

Once the $100,000 mark has been reached, it is the Trustees’ intention to maintain that level into the future, so that they have the ability to provide loans to the Club for special projects and needs. This helps ensure a strong financial future for TEIA and is critical to the continued success of the Club, its programs, and its support of the Peaks Island community. When TEIA encounters an unexpected or extremely costly repair that cannot be handled through the course of regular dues, the Trustees’ Fund provides a loan that is eventually repaid so that the balance of the Fund can be maintained.
