Who Funds the PEW Charitable Trust? [SUN OIL HEIRS] Are they Just Another "Think Tank" Publishing Republican Propaganda Like the Heritage Foundation? [YES]

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. We are an independent nonprofit organization – the sole beneficiary of seven individual trusts established between 1948 and 1979 by two sons and two daughters of Sun Oil Company founder Joseph N. Pew and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew.

Pew is Often Cited By Republicriminals to Make Their #CrazyTalk Sound Legit:

  • Trump falsely claimed that a Pew Charitable Trusts report supports his claim that millions of people voted illegally. The report documented millions of instances of voter registration inaccuracies.
  • Told the Pew report found no evidence of voter fraud, Trump falsely claimed the report “all of a sudden changed” and the author was now “groveling.” It did not, and he did not.

Instead... Try "The Scientific Method": Observe Reality, Collect Facts, Analyse the Data, Draw Conclusions. It's the Opposite of the Republicrime Method: Write a Conclusion, Make Up "Facts", Pretend those "Facts" are Reality, Attack anyone who disagrees with their conclusion.

"The Pew Charitable Trusts is an independent non-profitnon-governmental organization (NGO), founded in 1948. With over US$6 billion in assets, its stated mission is to serve the public interest by "improving public policy, informing the public, and invigorating civic life".[1]"
Although today The Pew Charitable Trusts is "non-partisan and non-ideological", Joseph Pew and his sons were politically conservative. In 2004, the Pew Trusts applied to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to change its status from private foundation to nonprofit organization. Since that change it can now raise funds freely and devote up to 5% of its budget to lobbying the public sector.

History[edit]

In 1990, the Times Mirror Company founded the Times Mirror Center for the People & the Press as a research project, tasked with conducting polls on politics and policy. Andrew Kohut became its director in 1993, and The Pew Charitable Trusts became its primary sponsor in 1996, when it was renamed the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.[6]
