The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
We believe that arts and culture is the cornerstone of a rich civic life. Pew supports institutions, artists and projects that inspire, educate and entertain audiences, and contribute to Greater Philadelphia’s growing reputation as a cultural destination. Residents and tourists alike can enjoy world-class museums, performances, and exhibitions, tour some of the nation’s most treasured historic sites, and visit its renowned public gardens, arboreta, and zoo. We support arts and culture through these key programs:
