Leaving a legacy helps us to continue our work

The Benevolent Fund is grateful to the many civil engineers who have supported us after they have left the world they have helped to build. Civil engineers by their very nature want to improve society and the world around them and it’s no surprise they want to leave a lasting legacy to support future engineers to do the same.

Why leave a legacy?

If you’d like to further the general work of the Ben Fund, legacies are a wonderful gift used to improve the lives of civil engineers and their families

Let your family know

Discuss your plans with your family and ensure you pass on details of the Ben Fund, as they are entitled to access services when you are no longer around.
