See Schedule O for more information about the Center's research topics.Data labs research: We use computational methods (big data) to complement and expand on the Center's existing research agenda to further our understanding of the public's views online and their electronic trails of behavior.Global attitudes & trends research: We conduct comparative, international research on an array of subjects, ranging from people's assessments of their own lives to their attitudes about the current state of the world, democracy, and multilateralism. Every year we publish dozens of reports and analyses that help explain America to the world and the world to Americans regarding the rapid changes taking place around the globe and the relevant geopolitical and economic events of the day.Internet & technology research: We analyze the social impact of digital technologies, and we examine people's online activities and the internet's role in their lives. Our focus is on how technology changes affect families, communities, education, health care and medicine, civic and political life, and workers' activities. Key topics include technology use, social networking, mobile connectivity, online privacy, and teens and technology.Journalism & media research: We assess the state of news and information in a changing society, including how news is consumed, who is reporting it, and how technology is changing the information landscape. Major reports have examined political polarization and media habits, misinformation, news use across social media platforms, America's shifting statehouse press, and the state of the news media.Methodology research: Is core to the Research Center's ability to conduct original, independent work. We continue to search for ways to expand and strengthen the traditional methodologies that underlie survey research and to explore the potential of alternate methods of conducting surveys and measuring public opinion.Race and ethnicity research: We chronicle the ever-changing racial and ethnic landscape of the United States. We bring understanding to the political, economic, and cultural experience of individuals and communities through surveys, demographic studies, social media analysis, and other forms of social scientific research.Religion & public life research: We seek to promote a deeper understanding of issues at the intersection of religion and public affairs in the U.S. and around the world. Through public opinion surveys, demographic studies, and other social science research, we examine the religious composition of countries, the influence of religion on politics, the extent of government and social restrictions on religion, and views on abortion, same-sex marriage, stem cell research, and many other topics. Our U.S. religious landscape survey is a benchmark for understanding religion in the United States. Our Pew-Templeton global religious futures research analyzes religious change and its impact on societies around the world.Science & society research: We study the impact of scientific research and innovation on society. Our research focuses on the intersection of science with all aspects of society from politics and policy-making, to religious and ethical considerations, to education and the economy. The research aims to understand what citizens and scientists think about science issues that raise important policy and ethical debates, including climate change, pandemics, space exploration, emerging science and technology innovations, public trust in science, and issues connected with how science information is disseminated and understood in today's media ecology.Social & demographic trends: We study behaviors and attitudes of Americans in key realms of daily life, combining original public opinion research with economic and demographic analysis.U.S. politics & policy research: We provide independent opinion research about American attitudes on politics and major policy issues and study the changing U.S. electorate by measuring long-term trends in political values and public policy priorities, as well as conducting timely and topical polling on the issues of the day. 47040371 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 38 0 1 216 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 7 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AR CA CT FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X Nikolas Wissmann 2024194300 901 E Street NW Suite 300 Washington DC 20004 X R James G McMillan Board Member & PCT SVP 2.00 48.00 X 0 552948 56612 Robert Groves Board Member and Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Claudine Gay Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Glasser Board Member (end 6/24) 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Roggero Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Thomas Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maribel Perez Wadsworth Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Weiss start 723 Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Dimock President 50.00 0.00 X 488784 0 76373 Claudia Deane Executive Vice President 50.00 0.00 X 330431 0 75904 Alycia Kantor Dir, Legal Affairs & Corp Secretary 50.00 0.00 X 224978 0 63827 Nikolas Wissmann Dir, Fin Admin. & Corp Treasurer 50.00 0.00 X 210888 0 41826 Courtney Kennedy Vice President, Methods & Innovation 50.00 0.00 X 276512 0 61978 Neha Sahgal Vice President, Research 50.00 0.00 X 267025 0 52718 Alan Cooperman Director, Religion Research 50.00 0.00 X 250575 0 66902 Michelle Hudgins Vice President, Communications 50.00 0.00 X 260760 0 49174 Carroll Doherty Director, Political Research 50.00 0.00 X 262074 0 42196 Mark Hugo Lopez Director, Race & Ethnicity Research 50.00 0.00 X 255263 0 40869 Kim Parker Director, Social Trends Research 50.00 0.00 X 253440 0 37216 3080730 552948 665595 88 0 1 0 Ipsos Public Affairs Inc 301 Merrit 7 Norwalk CT 06851 Survey 5172886 National Opinion Research Center 55 E Monroe Suite 2000 Chicago IL 60603 Survey 3502947 Langer Research Associates LLC 7 W 66th Street 6 New York NY 10023 Survey 2233063 Westat Inc 1600 Research Blvd Rockville MD 20850 Survey 1995550 Gallup Inc 1001 Gallup Drive Omaha NE 68102 Survey 1500365 18 41402285 5258792 46661077 Royalties 541720 16145 16145 16145 58643 58643 46735865 16145 0 58643 X 41500 41500 2203411 1014794 926315 262302 19988548 19038360 783255 166933 2308697 2193137 94341 21219 2222617 2085143 110453 27021 1603062 1459582 114838 28642 112110 112110 16000 16000 14493886 14242196 251690 123740 123090 650 91560 69574 21250 736 591340 575905 12834 2601 4109737 3885403 187815 36519 306024 262669 8672 34683 283850 163123 115637 5090 1735922 1641165 79332 15425 105845 19462 86317 66 Dues and subscriptions 267052 205262 60949 841 Honoraria 20506 20006 500 50625407 47040371 2982958 602078 714326 375658 59977072 50355438 40602 13957 250494 371608 10332320 9898600 2169642 433720 15974971 2636787 79127107 54187168 3295504 3222394 23125656 2148369 26421160 5370763 X 44124074 43284768 8581873 5531637 52705947 48816405 79127107 54187168 -3889542 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 46221166 36414671 44554268 43953610 46661077 217804792 46221166 36414671 44554268 43953610 46661077 217804792 5651158 212153634 158926 110597 51689 27348 58643 407203 218211995 116328 0.97220 0.98670 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8526556 8094314 432242 58325 58325 0 1747439 1745961 1478 433720 Operating lease liability 2148369 2148369 X 674508715 669175135 669175135 5333580 41402285 41402285 46735865 388257096 337631689 337631689 50625407 0 50625407 Part X, Line 2: The organization has no material uncertain tax positions.

Pew Research Center generates a foundation of facts that enriches the public dialogue and supports sound decision-making. It conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, content analysis and other empirical social science research. Pew Research Center does not take policy positions. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 Pew Research Center's sole member is The Pew Charitable Trusts, an Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) public charity. 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 the Pew Charitable Trusts. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a See Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Narrative Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b See Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Narrative Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b After the Form 990 is prepared by finance department staff members the return is reviewed by senior management, including the Director of Financial Administration and Corporate Treasurer; the President; and the Director of Legal Affairs and Corporate Secretary; as well as outside certified public accountants and outside legal counsel. Following these reviews, the return is distributed to all members of the board of directors for review and comment. Once board members' questions have been addressed the certified public accountants sign the return and file it with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Pew Research Center regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policies. On an annual basis, all directors, officers, and employees certify that they have read and will continue to follow the applicable conflict of interest policy and complete a form disclosing their potential conflicts. Pew Research Center's conflict of interest policies requires the: (1) impartial fulfillment of their roles in Pew Research Center's affairs; (2) disclosure of actual or potential financial or other conflicts of interest involving Pew Research Center; (3) review of reportable affiliations; and (4) recusal and abstention in all situations of actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest. These and other requirements are monitored, reviewed and resolved on an ongoing basis pursuant to the applicable conflict of interest policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Annually, the executive committee of the board of Pew Research Center engages an independent compensation consultant to conduct compensation analyses for the organization's President, officers and key employees. As part of these analyses, the independent compensation consultant identifies, gathers, and analyzes appropriate comparability data upon which the committee and the full board rely to assess the reasonableness of the total proposed compensation (including benefits) of the president, officers, and key employees. The compensation consultant prepares written reports memorializing their analyses and provides them to Pew Research Center's executive committee for review together with the compensation consultant's written opinion that the proposed compensation arrangements are "reasonable" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 53.4958-4(b)(1)(ii)(A). The committee reviews the compensation consultant's analyses and opinions at a meeting, in which the consultant participates and responds to questions. The committee sets compensation for the officers and key employees, and makes a recommendation to the full board for compensation for the president. The full board makes annual decisions with respect to proposed compensation for the president based upon the data in the relevant report and the opinion of the compensation consultant that the proposed compensation is reasonable. The board's decision regarding the proposed compensation increases and resulting total compensation for the president is also based on the board's assessment of the president's performance. These decisions, and the bases for these decisions, are contemporaneously documented in the minutes. The executive committee and board members who vote on compensation for the president, officers, and key employees do not have a conflict of interest with respect to these compensation arrangements.
