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
Empowering the next generation technical workforce is a core goal of the ASME Foundation and critical to meeting the world’s technological and humanitarian challenges. UEF’s generous support has been instrumental in the development and rollout of our national Community College Engineering Pathways initiative and our regionally focused STEM Engine workforce development outreach. Thanks to UEF grants, we’re opening doors of opportunity to thousands of tomorrow’s innovators who will build a better future for all of us.”
