Through public opinion surveys, demographic studies and other social science research, we examine the religious composition of countries, the influence of religion on politics, the extent of government and social restrictions on religion, and views on abortion, same-sex marriage, stem cell research and many other topics. Our U.S. religious landscape survey is a benchmark for understanding religion in the United States. Our Pew-Templeton global religious futures research analyzes religious change and its impact on societies around the world. 9392072 Global attitudes & trends research: We conduct comparative, international research on an array of subjects, ranging from people's assessments of their own lives to their attitudes about the current state of the world, democracy and multilateralism. Every year we publish dozens of reports and analyses that help explain America to the world and the world to Americans regarding the rapid changes taking place around the globe and the relevant geopolitical and economic events of the day. 5358443 400 Methodology research: Is core to the research center's ability to conduct original, independent work. We continue to search for ways to expand and strengthen the traditional methodologies that underlie survey research and to explore the potential of alternate methods of conducting surveys and measuring public opinion. 2450990 Social & demographic trends: We study behaviors and attitudes of Americans in key realms of daily life, combining original public opinion research with economic and demographic analysis. 1880704 Internet & technology research: We analyze the social impact of digital technologies, and we examine people's online activities and the internet's role in their lives. Our focus is on how technology changes affect families, communities, education, health care and medicine, civic and political life, and workers' activities. Key topics include technology use, social networking, mobile connectivity, online privacy and teens and technology. 3458433 Journalism & media research: We assess the state of news and information in a changing society, including how news is consumed, who is reporting it and how technology is changing the information landscape. Major reports have examined political polarization and media habits, misinformation, news use across social media platforms, America's shifting statehouse press and the state of the news media. 3060846 U.S. politics & policy research: We provide independent opinion research about American attitudes on politics and major policy issues and study the changing U.S. electorate by measuring long-term trends in political values and public policy priorities, as well as conducting timely and topical polling on the issues of the day. 2913784 Race and ethnicity research: We chronicle the diverse, ever-changing racial and ethnic landscape of the United States. We bring understanding to the political, economic and cultural experience of individuals and communities through surveys, demographic studies, social media analysis and other forms of social scientific research. 1953841 Science & society research: We study the impact of scientific research and innovation on society. Our research focuses on the intersection of science with all aspects of society from politics and policy-making, to religious and ethical considerations, to education and the economy. The research aims to understand what citizens and scientists think about science issues that raise important policy and ethical debates, including climate change, pandemics, space exploration, emerging science and technology innovations, public trust in science, and issues connected with how science information is disseminated and understood in today's media ecology. 2319411 Data labs research: We use computational methods (big data) to complement and expand on the Center's existing research agenda to further our understanding of the public's views online and their electronic trails of behavior. 22887 Royalty Revenue 18038009 22887 40742658 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 33 0 1 214 1 0 1 UK 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 PA X X Nikolas Wissmann 2024194300 1615 L Street NW Suite 800 Washington DC 20036 X R James G McMillan Board Member & PCT SVP 2.00 48.00 X 0 476250 40321 Michael Delli Carpini Board Member and Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Glasser Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jana Bennett Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Groves Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Henry McGee Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Duncan Watts Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arati Prabhakar Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Thomas Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Dimock President 50.00 0.00 X 435463 0 65497 Claudia Deane Vice President, Research 50.00 0.00 X 277397 0 64586 Dan Morrison Vice President, Communications 50.00 0.00 X 264841 0 56807 James Bell Vice President, Global Strategy 50.00 0.00 X 256341 0 63829 Alycia Kantor Dir, Legal Affairs & Corp Secretary 50.00 0.00 X 192172 0 62412 Nikolas Wissmann Dir, Fin Admin. & Corp Treasurer 50.00 0.00 X 183476 0 41497 Harrison Lee Rainie Director, Internet, Science & Tech 50.00 0.00 X 269609 0 57394 Carroll Doherty Director, Political Research 50.00 0.00 X 237932 0 46626 Alan Cooperman Director, Religion Research 50.00 0.00 X 226540 0 58658 Jeffrey Passel Senior Demographer 50.00 0.00 X 221687 0 39218 Kim Parker Director, Social Trends Research 50.00 0.00 X 220055 0 31953 2785513 476250 628798 78 0 1 0 Ipsos Public Affairs Inc 301 Merrit 7 Norwalk CT 06851 Survey 6391186 Westat Inc 1600 Research Blvd Rockville MD 20850 Survey 3312206 Gallup Inc 1001 Gallup Drive Omaha NE 68102 Survey 2990653 Kantar UK Limited The House Westgate London UK W51UA Survey 797457 Langer Research Associates LLC 7 W 66th ST 6 New York NY 10023 Survey 687638 12 33707682 2706989 36414671 Royalties 541720 22887 22887 22887 1105 1105 109492 53935 55557 55557 55557 36494220 22887 0 56662 X 400 400 1991588 991632 763481 236475 18417917 17672860 615883 129174 2105705 2020526 70006 15173 2251128 2130951 97966 22211 1512226 1393137 94480 24609 93794 500 93294 24663 24663 11385 11385 11876110 11838389 37721 30577 30577 72427 42828 29277 322 449665 437603 10530 1532 3481772 3284875 171883 25014 3055 2964 91 82326 71681 10618 27 597083 563318 29476 4289 94898 23573 71295 30 Dues and subscriptions 227495 197244 30141 110 Honoraria 39600 39600 UBI taxes 500 500 Form 1042 tax expense 425 425 43364739 40742658 2163115 458966 827431 444268 70084623 63409674 106453 99487 262819 182869 12089495 8316155 4370423 3773340 23093956 20814521 98745705 88724159 2364426 2391971 13035 5500 33056229 29933690 35433690 32331161 X 39815630 35252129 23496385 21140869 63312015 56392998 98745705 88724159 X -6870519 -48498 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 39388583 42285606 46574934 46221166 36414671 210884960 39388583 42285606 46574934 46221166 36414671 210884960 663760 210221200 52173 285509 239954 158926 110597 847159 211732119 104730 0.99290 0.98290 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8526556 4888740 3637816 1815500 1815500 0 1747439 1611915 135524 3773340 Lease right-of-use asset 20682655 Security deposits 131866 20814521 Operating lease liability 29925990 Tenant security deposits 7700 29933690 1620831298 1617990825 1617990825 2840473 33653747 33653747 36494220 355383620 312018881 312018881 43364739 0 43364739 Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Revenue of consolidating parent 1,618,039,323.

Pew Research Center generates a foundation of facts that enriches the public dialogue and supports sound decision-making. It conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, content analysis and other empirical social science research. Pew Research Center does not take policy positions. It is a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 Lines 6, 7a & 7b Pew Research Center's sole member is The Pew Charitable Trusts, an Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) public charity. The Pew Charitable Trusts elects a majority of Pew Research Center's board of directors. Pew Research Center's bylaws provide that any amendment to the bylaws must be approved by The Pew Charitable Trusts. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a See Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Narrative Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b See Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Narrative Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Pew Research Center's Form 990 is thoroughly prepared and rigorously reviewed before it is filed with the IRS. The return is reviewed by the organization's director of financial administration and corporate treasurer, its president, and its director of legal affairs and corporate secretary as well as outside independent certified public accountants and outside legal counsel. Following the review, the return is distributed to all members of the board of directors for review and comment before the return is filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Pew Research Center has adopted conflict of interest policies that apply to the organization's directors, officers, and staff. This policy requires each member of the board of directors to annually complete a form to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. The forms are collected and reviewed by the director of legal affairs and corporate secretary who summarizes the relevant information and provides it to the board chair for review and approval. Similarly, all employees of Pew Research Center (including officers) are required, upon hiring and annually thereafter, to report their potential conflicts of interest. The director of legal affairs and corporate secretary collects and reviews these forms, summarizes the relevant information and provides it to the board chair for review. Throughout the year, each individual subject to the conflict of interest policy is required to update his/her disclosure statement to include any information required to be disclosed and must seek prior approval from the president for any activity, affiliation, membership, or transaction required to be disclosed under the policy. The president's disclosures are approved by the board chair. Once approved or disapproved, the signed disclosure statements are returned to the director of legal affairs and corporate secretary who maintains a record of the disclosures. All actual conflicts are reported to the board of directors. If a person has an actual conflict, he or she is prohibited from participating in the deliberations and decision-making related to the transaction. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Pew Research Center annually engages an independent compensation consulting firm to conduct a compensation study to evaluate the reasonableness of the total proposed compensation for the organization's "disqualified persons" under Treas. Reg. 53.4958-3 without regard to whether the person has been elected an officer. The independent compensation study focuses on the compensation paid to functionally comparable positions at similarly-situated organizations and also considers industry compensation surveys. The compensation study is provided to the organization's executive committee, together with a reasoned written opinion from the compensation consultant that the proposed compensation arrangements for the disqualified persons are "reasonable" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 53.4958-4(b)(1)(ii)(a). The executive committee sets compensation for each disqualified person, and makes a recommendation to the full board with respect to compensation for the president. The full board then reviews the compensation study and opinion for the president, together with the recommendation of the executive committee, and makes a decision with respect to the president's compensation. The executive committee and board rely on the compensation consultant's opinion and compensation study to guide their review, deliberation, and approval of the proposed compensation arrangements, and their decisions regarding compensation (including the bases for these decisions) are documented in the minutes. The executive committee and board members who vote on compensation for disqualified persons and the president do not have a conflict of interest with regard to these compensation arrangements. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 In accordance with Treas. Reg. 301-6104(d)-1(a)(1) and IRS notice 2007-45, copies of Pew Research Center's three most recent Forms 990 are made available for inspection by the public during regular business hours at Pew Research Center's office in Washington, DC.
