2025 UEF Annual Report
In 2025 the investments and stock market had a very good year. The United Engineering Foundation
(UEF) was positively impacted by this condition resulting in financial gains in our portfolio. We also had another very successful year for our Grant program, funding more than $900,000 to support significant programs that benefit the engineering profession.
The Board of Trustees met February 20, May 15 and July 25 virtually, and held its annual Board of Trustees meeting – hosted by AIChE — in Washington, D.C. on September 25.
UEF continues the tradition as a significant leader in the engineering community. These efforts have focused on serving the profession, especially through the encouragement of cross-disciplinary collaborations. These efforts are consistent with the UEF vision – “To advance the engineering arts and sciences for the welfare of humanity.”
The UEF Difference
The United Engineering Foundation's support enabled the National Academy of Engineering to launch the Inspiring Future Engineers digital media campaign and introduce EngineerTeen.org, inspiring more young people to explore engineering careers. The campaign reached more than 26 million people and 342,000 clicks, demonstrating the power of digital storytelling to expand awareness of engineering and strengthen the future workforce. We are grateful for UEF's partnership in helping us inspire the next generation of engineers."
