After the recent financial crisis, the Pew Trusts decided to establish the Pew Financial Reform Project. The goal of this Project is "to bring nonpartisan, balanced, fact-based analysis directly to policymakers." To achieve this goal, the Project established a task force on financial reform, created a policy briefing series, and developed this website. The materials on the site are divided into the sections "Task Force Reports", "Reform Resources", "Events", "About Us", and "Discussion Forum". The "Task Force Reports" area includes background notes, briefing papers, and task force recommendations. Here visitors can sign up for newsletters and read through works like "Quantifying the Effects on Lending of Increased Capital Requirements". The "Reform Resources" area brings together links to reform related news articles, congressional hearings, and selected outside papers and reports. Lastly, the "Events" area brings together a calendar of events related to financial reform.
