The Pew Charitable Trusts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pew Charitable Trusts is an independent nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with an office in Washington, D.C., that is the successor to seven individual charitable funds established between 1948 and 1979 by two sons and two daughters of Sun Oil Company founder Joseph N. Pew (1848-1912) and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew. The trusts' current mission is to serve the public interest by providing information, advancing policy solutions and supporting civic life.
The four co-founders were J. Howard Pew (1882-1971), Mary Ethel Pew (1884-1979), J.N. Pew, Jr. (1886-1963), and Mabel Pew Myrin (1889-1972).
The Pew Charitable Trusts supports the Pew Research Center. The Pew Research Center is an independent nonadvocacy organization. See their Code of Ethics in the related links below for more information.
