Donor Name: United Engineering Foundation
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 05/01/2023
Details:
The UEF advances the engineering arts and sciences for the welfare of humanity and supports engineering and education by, among other means, making grants.
Scope
Grants should be consistent with advancing engineering.
Priorities for giving
UEF provides funding to proposals and programs whose chief purpose is to advance engineering for the welfare of humanity. Proposals must be consistent with the mission of UEF and priorities for giving, which include programs that focus on the following areas:
- Diversity
- Kindergarten -12th Grade Education
- Engineering Ethics, Safety, Security and Leadership
Preferences
The UEF Board of Trustees evaluates and judges proposals in view of the UEF mission, the perceived ability of the proposal and proposer(s) to further that mission, and the available funding. Proposals are accepted only from U.S. based organizations classified by the Internal Revenue Service as having 501(c)(3) status. While all proposals meeting the requirements for
- U.S. based organizations having 501(c)(3) status,
- established deadlines, and
- page limitations
will be considered, certain UEF preferences should be understood by proposers:
- Broad-based, interdisciplinary proposals that further the engineering profession as a whole are preferred.
- Multiple-year proposals are welcome, but funding is awarded for a single year only. Proposals for subsequent years follow procedures identical to that of single-year proposals. No commitment for funding of subsequent years of a multiple-year project should be inferred from funding of a prior year.
- Projects must be performed ONLY between January and December of the specific “Grant Year.”
- Projects that are outside “business as usual” of the proposing organization are preferred.
- Technical research proposals and proposals by individuals are seldom accepted.
Exclusions
- UEF does not fund research proposals. UEF does not make multi-year commitments; funds given in a calendar year must be spent in that calendar year.
- Organizations are welcome to submit proposals to fund one year of a multi-year project, however, organizations would have to reapply each year for continued funding and there is no guarantee that funding would be renewed. UEF will not pay for offsetting administrative costs, tuition, or indirect cost rates.
