I have heard about the PEW Charitable Trusts for years as a member of Minnesota Public Radio but have taken the time to investigate who they are and what they do. I was drawn into their mission statement:
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.
I recognized familiar faces for someone like me who is interested in early childhood policy. Their ten year project, Pre-K-Now, mobilized advocates from the philanthropic, policy, and business communities on behalf of national preschool for every child who wants it has been successful. Minnesota, like many other states, is seeing an unprecedented commitment to early childhood programs. I signed up for the newsletter.
