Additional Information

Pew, an independent United States nonprofit charity created in 2002, is the sole beneficiary of seven individual trust funds established between 1948 and 1979. While Pew does accept grants and donations, Pew had no donors, other than two of our trusts, during FY25 which contributed more than 10% of Pew’s budget. The majority of remaining income for Pew’s FY25 budget came from disbursements from Pew’s other trusts and investments. Pew does not have members and does not receive membership contributions. Pew did not receive any public or government financing during FY25. Our intermediary in FY25 was Logos (€ 191,911). Logos is currently under contract in FY26.
