Common questions about Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors a good charity? +
Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors scores 89 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings.

That reflects how transparent and financially healthy it looks on paper — it does not measure the real-world impact of its work, so treat it as one factor alongside the cause you care about. CharityCompare never tells you where to donate.
