The Pew Charitable Trusts is an independent non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO), founded in 1948.[1][2][3]
Pew's stated mission is to serve the public interest by "improving public policy, informing the public, and invigorating civic life".[4] Pew operates projects and conducts research across five main areas: communities, conservation, finance and economy, governing, and health.[5] In addition, the Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan public polling and think tank that operates as a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts.[6]
