PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSFORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D PEW RESEARCH CENTER'S 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. (Expenses $2,949,333; Revenue $145,000) PEW RESEARCH CENTER'S 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, news use across social media platforms, America's shifting statehouse press and the State of the News Media. (Expenses $1,930,208) PEW RESEARCH CENTER'S Internet, Science & Technology Research: We analyze the social impact of digital technologies, and we study attitudes about scientific research and innovation. Our focus is on how science and technology changes affect families, communities, education, health care and medicine, civic and political life, and workers' activities. (Expenses $2,080,461; Revenue $246,111) PEW RESEARCH CENTER'S Research Methodology/Core Research: 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. (Expenses $3,347,103) PEW RESEARCH CENTER'S HONORARIUM: employee speeches and presentations at various events. (Revenue $11,801) FAMILY OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 2 Donald Kimelman, Board of Director Member and Officer for Pew Research, and R. James G. McMillan, Board of Director Member for Pew Research, are former Key employee and current Officer, respectively, in the same business entity, The Pew Charitable Trusts, a related tax-exempt organization to Pew Research Center. Existence of Members Form 990, Part VI, 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 Pew Research Center's sole member, The Pew Charitable Trusts.
FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESSFORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11b Drafts of the Form 990 are prepared by a tax accountant based on information provided by Pew Research Center, reviewed by the Controller and Director of Financial Administration, the Vice President, and legal counsel. Once a final draft has been prepared, all members of the board of directors are invited to review the form and provide additional comments and questions prior to filing. After making any remaining edits and discussing outstanding items, the form is submitted to the IRS.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY MONITORING & ENFORCEMENTFORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12c Pew Research Center requires each member of the Board of Directors to annually complete a form to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. The forms are collected by the Board Secretary who provides them to the Board Chair for review and approval. All employees of Pew Research Center including officers and key employees are required, upon hiring and annually thereafter, to report their potential conflicts of interest. The Human Resources Director meets with Pew Research Center's officers to review all potential conflicts. 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 DECISION-MAKING AND DELIBERATIONS RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION. Forms pertaining to officers and key employees are approved by the president, all other staff forms are approved by the employee's respective department head and the president's form is approved by the Board. Throughout the year, each individual subject to the Conflict of Interest policy is required to update her/his Disclosure Statement to include any information required to be disclosed and shall seek prior approval for any activity, affiliation, membership or transaction required to be disclosed under the Conflict of Interest provisions of this policy. Once approved or disapproved, the signed Disclosure Statements shall be returned to the Vice President, who shall maintain a record of the disclosures.
PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATIONFORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15a & 15b For the Organization's Senior Executives, including those persons considered "disqualified persons" for purposes of the IRS intermediate sanctions regulations (president, executive vice president, and vice president), Pew Research Center annually engages an independent compensation consulting firm to conduct a compensation study. The compensation study considers similar organizations and industry compensation surveys when determining reasonable compensation for its officers and key employees. The results of the study are reported in an opinion to the board of directors. The Board uses the opinion in review, deliberation, and approval of the compensation for officers and key employees. The process was last completed in May 2014.
HOW DOCUMENTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLICFORM 990, PART VI, LINE 19 The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public. These documents may be requested through use of the organization's website. Oversight - Audited Financial Statements and Independent Accountant Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c Pew Research Center does not perform a standalone audit of its financial statements and instead presents consolidated financial statements with its tax-exempt parent, The Pew Charitable Trusts. Therefore, Pew Research Center's related exempt organization entity, The Pew Charitable Trusts, has an audit committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the selection of its independent accountants to perform the audit.
