Reasons to Partner with Pew

Why do our partners choose Pew?

• Experience. Pew has decades of experience investing in and leading sophisticated, innovative programs to address urgent problems. We invest nearly $300 million annually in a variety of initiatives, and operate many of these projects ourselves.
• Expertise. As our partner, you will have access to our seasoned staff of nearly 300. Our team includes leading environmentalists; former White House, congressional and regulatory staff; veterans of state, national and international advocacy campaigns; prominent researchers; and communications and business professionals.We can also call on an international network of experts to assist with program design and development.
• Cost efficiency. Because Pew already operates programs, your donation will directly support work in the field, not infrastructure. The result: you will realize the greatest possible return on your investment.
• Focus. At Pew, our success is grounded in a disciplined approach to our work. While we tackle a wide range of problems, we target specific areas where significant returns can be achieved within a defined timeframe. We assess the viability of different strategies, the resources that are required and the results we can expect to deliver.
• Discipline. We rigorously monitor our projects’ progress. We ask hard questions about whether we are achieving our goals and rely on independent evaluators for the answers. Our staff is held accountable for reaching explicit benchmarks.
