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 11bDrafts of the Form 990 are prepared by an outside tax accountant based on information provided by Pew Research Center, reviewed by the Controller and Director of Financial Administration, the Vice President, and outside 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 12cPew 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.

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 2013.
