2016 UEF Annual Report
In 2016, the United Engineering Foundation (UEF) celebrated its 112th year of operations. The UEF continued the robust tradition as a significant leader in the engineering community. The UEF maintained an endowment that closed the year with funds in excess of $17,750,000. This is up slightly from 2015. This portfolio provided resources for the funding of additional grants in 2016 that demonstrated the Foundation’s continued commitment to its vision of advancing the engineering arts and sciences for the welfare of humanity.
The UEF Difference
Thank you for your grant to support the “The Next MacGyver” project, which allowed world-wide crowd-sourcing of ideas for a TV show featuring an female engineer lead character and engaging top Hollywood talent to provide a real shot at making that long-desired goal happen. It is inspiring and refreshing to know there are organizations like yours willing to take on “outside-the-box” ideas that could have outsized impact."
