Philanthropic Services

Pew partners with individuals, foundations and corporations who want their charitable investments to achieve significant and measurable returns.

With 60 years of experience, we know how to identify critical issues that are ripe for change and develop creative, cost-effective solutions—whether preserving pristine wilderness and marine ecosystems, expanding access to quality pre-kindergarten or helping children in foster care join safe, permanent families.

Our donors share our commitment to fact-based solutions and goal-driven philanthropic investments.

They seek the maximum return on their investments. When it comes to philanthropy, why would they accept any less? The Pew Charitable Trusts has years of experience investing for maximum social return. To learn more:

  • read the Pew Prospectus chapter on Philanthropic Services and Government Relations by Managing Director Susan Magill.
  • read the article "High-Impact Philanthropy: Strategies for Partnering With Professional Advisers" from Advancing Philanthropy (PDF). The piece was authored by Robin R. Ganzert, Ph.D.; Tracy A. Mack, Esq.; Joseph Fortuna; and William L. Sutton Jr., J.D. (posted with permission of the Association of Fundraising Professionals).
  • view the video "A Growing Legacy: Conserving Family Farms in the Hudson Valley." In addition to working with land trusts to protect forests, wetlands, and other wildlife habitats, Pew’s Northeast Land Trust Consortium is assisting in the conservation of rich farmlands that supply communities with healthy, locally raised food. Recently, Scenic Hudson asked our Consortium's director to assist in the production of this brief film on farm conservation to be aired on New York's PBS stations. For questions or more information about Pew’s Northeast Land Trust Consortium, or other land preservation campaigns that Pew is conducting around the globe, contact Thomas S. Curren, Director, Northeast Land Trust Consortium, 603.677.2402 or tcurren@pewtrusts.org; or Tracy A. Mack, Esquire, Senior Officer, Philanthropic Services, 215.575.4703 or tmack@pewtrusts.org
