Consisting of seven individual charitable funds established between 1948 and 1979 by the children of Sun Oil company founder Joseph N. Pew, the Pew Charitable Trusts support nonprofit activities in the areas of culture, education, the environment, health and human services, public policy and religion. Each of these programmatic areas is managed by a director responsible for coordinating the grant review process. For nonprofit organizations seeking grants in any one of these areas, the Pew Charitable Trusts Web site is a valuable online resource. Along with providing information about grant opportunities, the site contains a host of provocative reports and papers generated by grantees receiving funds from the Trusts, and material generated by the in-house research staff. Visitors can also sign up to receive email updates about the Trusts' different activities, ranging from new grant competitions and current and timely research briefs and reports.
