2017 UEF Annual Report
In 2017, the United Engineering Foundation (UEF) completed its 113th 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 $19,450,000, which is up significantly from 2016 which had an excess of $17,700,000. The 2017 endowment provided resources for the funding of additional grants in 2017 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."
