About The CIM Benevolent Fund
The Chartered Institute of Marketing Benevolent Fund (CIMBF) was established in 1921 as an independent Charitable Trust. In 1964 a Trust Deed was created when the Institute of Marketing and Sales Management appointed four Trustees to be responsible for the monies and securities transferred by the Institute into the newly formed Benevolent Fund. Its purpose was set out quite clearly to help past and present members who were facing hardship. Today, the CIMBF is managed by Trustees who oversee its affairs.
Applicants must have been a member of the CIM for at least 12 consecutive months. If you’re not a current member, don’t worry, so long as you’ve been a member in the last 10 years; you’re still eligible to apply. You can apply for a grant to support for you, your dependents or your spouse or partner. All we ask is that your grant will support hardship and improve your quality of life.
