Inspiring Future Engineers

Support future engineers today and we'll match your donation, pound for pound. So if you donate £50 - we'll donate £50 too.

Your contribution has the potential to make a real difference towards helping to shape the future of engineering. All donations will directly support our educational programmes with 5-19 year olds, Diamond Jubilee Scholarships and Engineering Horizons Bursaries.

Read more below to find out more about where the money goes and how you can help us support STEM projects and future engineers.

It's no secret that there is a skills gap in engineering. This is attributable to a number of factors, including the way in which engineering is perceived by young people, accessibility and routes to entry, as well as how well-resourced teachers are in the classroom and beyond. 

The IET is proud to be taking a lead in tackling these issues, and if you're passionate about engineering and want to help us to inspire and support the next generation of talent, you can help make a real difference by contributing towards one of our fantastic programmes, which operate in two key areas:

STEM education
Our activities in this area, which include FIRST® LEGO® League and our own Faraday Challenge, are developed to generate excitement and raise awareness of STEM subjects among young people, with particular focus on engineering. Through these activities we reach thousands of children each year.

Scholarships and bursaries
For those already on the path towards a career in engineering, it’s important to recognise their talent and help them to overcome barriers to entry into the profession. We are proud to support hundreds of students annually through our Engineering Horizons Bursaries and Diamond Jubilee Scholarships, and have seen these initiatives continue to grow year on year.

Our Board of Trustees have released £1 million to match any new donations given to support our STEM education schemes and scholarships and bursaries, in celebration of our upcoming 150 year anniversary. Donations can be made any time between 1 July 2018 and 31 December 2021 to be eligible for match-funding.

Help us to engineer a better future by donating today.
