Every year, the CIBSE Benevolent Fund provides help to CIBSE members, former members and their dependents who are in need, whether through sickness, bereavement or financial hardship. Present and former members of CIBSE, IHVE and IES, and their dependents, are eligible for help. There are three main sources of income to the Fund: donations from members at renewal time; dividends on BFT investments, and one-off donations from members, Regions and CIBSE events.

Members helping members, and their dependents, in need.
