About FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX

Friends of the University of Sussex (the American Friends) is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization that raises funds and builds donor networks to support scholarships, research and other academic priorities at the University of Sussex. The organization’s U.S. EIN, 31-1506862, is confirmed in public tax filings and on the University of Sussex’s American Friends pages.

Governed by a volunteer board, the Friends primarily fund Masters scholarships for U.S. students, targeted research awards and selected institutional initiatives while creating connections between North American alumni, students and the university. The Friends maintain an ongoing donor-facing presence (donation channels and annual impact reports) and continue to support Sussex programmes in the 2022–2024 period.

Recent activity includes publication of the US Friends Impact Reports (2022 and 2023), continued award of the Friends Masters Scholarship to U.S. students, and contributions to university research scholarships and initiatives that support areas such as machine-learning applications in healthcare and interdisciplinary policy research.
