The Physics Benevolent Fund
emergency financial aidindividual welfare support
Who can apply: Applicant must be a member of IPEM and/or IOP, or a dependant of a member of either organisation.
The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) gives very small, targeted grants that primarily support people working or training in medical physics and clinical engineering. Its funding is oriented toward individual professional development and hardship relief, especially helping students, trainees, and early-career researchers attend conferences and courses, plus emergency support for members and dependants facing acute financial need. This is a membership- and profession-centered funder rather than a general nonprofit grantmaker.
Small grants, typically up to £300-£600, with some awards covering travel, accommodation, and registration rather than providing unrestricted cash. Funding is usually for specific, short-term purposes such as conference or course attendance, and the hardship fund supports individuals in critical need; overall this is a programmatic, eligibility-based grantmaker rather than an open-ended philanthropic fund.

Applicants should match the grant to a clearly defined need: conference/course attendance, travel for presentation, or hardship support. Expect a focused application tied to professional relevance and eligibility, especially for IPEM-related fields and events; for travel grants, timing around the conference/course is likely important, and for hardship aid, applicants should document the unexpected event and financial need.
