How to support us

Our work needs supporters to turn the Sussex Weidenfeld Institute's vision into reality and consolidate its success.

Support our work

We are delighted to count the Governments of Germany and Austria, Foundations and some individuals as early supporters of our endeavours. Thanks to the German Government’s support, we appointed a Professor of Jewish Eastern European History in 2021. The Austrian Government has enabled us to arrange a cohort of Visiting Research Fellows to work with us. Foundations have enabled us to engage scholars to carry out PhDs at the Institute.

We are seeking supporters to provide the transformative support that will turn the Institute’s vision into reality and help to consolidate its success. Funding is required to grow the new Visiting Fellowship programme; to offer a series of PhD scholarships for outstanding scholars, as well as to enhance the Institute’s vibrant outreach programme through staffing appointments and activities. A key element of the latter is the expansion and digitisation of the Institute’s archive in order to develop it as an effective educational resource. Using the archive, we plan to assist with the revision of Holocaust education in primary and secondary schools in the UK and beyond.

Please note:
The University of Sussex (of which the Weidenfeld Institute of Jewish Studies and the Centre for German-Jewish Studies are a part) is an exempt charity and, as such, is not required to register with the Charity Commissioners. This is because the institution is already responsible to another statutory body – The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). As an exempt charity The University has exactly the same rights as any registered charity. The Inland Revenue claim number is XN1306 and tax claims are treated in exactly the same way as those of any registered charity.
