Program areas at Pew

Improving public policy. We study and promote nonpartisan policy solutions for pressing and emerging problems affecting the American public and the global community.
Invigorating civic life. We support national initiatives that encourage civic participation. In our hometown of Philadelphia, we support organizations that create a thriving arts and culture community and institutions that enhance the well-being of the region's neediest citizens.
Informing the public. Pew Research Center, our Washington, D.C.-based charitable subsidiary, is home to most of our information initiatives. It uses impartial, fact-based public-opinion polling and other research tools to track important issues and trends.
