THE INSTITUTION OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS BENEVOLENT FUND 

The Benevolent Fund makes grants and affords assistance to necessitous persons who are members or former members, or dependants of members or former members, of the Institution of Structural Engineers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
