For 75 years, The Pew Charitable Trusts has studied the problems that hold people back—and helped fix them. Whether it is making government more responsive, protecting the ocean and public lands, or improving people’s health and economic well-being, Pew’s work is always nonpartisan, based on facts, and guided by a commitment to use data to help individuals and communities thrive. We ask challenging questions, we strive to create common ground, and we run ambitious projects designed to make a difference.
