We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• We are a non-partisan organization that uses impartial, fact-based public opinion polling and other data-driven research tools to inform the public about the issues, attitudes, and trends shaping the world. Below is a listing of 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: This 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.

As filed on the 2024 return.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
