Founded in 1948, The Pew Charitable Trusts uses data to make a difference, addressing the challenges of a changing world and helping communities thrive. In our hometown of Philadelphia, Pew promotes pathways to economic advancement, access to civic and cultural enrichment, and the safety and well-being of all residents by strengthening local nonprofits’, government’s and civic institutions’ abilities to address complex challenges. Pew does this through its grantmaking, capacity-building, research, policy analysis and stakeholder convenings.
