Pew Research was created by a philanthropic trust, the extremely generous gift of the Pew family, heirs to the fortune of Joseph Pew (Sunoco). Their founding director, Andy Kohut (1942-2015) is another revered figure in public opinion survey research, who significantly contributed to the standards, practices, methods and professional ethics of the industry. The organization Andy left behind is one of the most respected research entities in the world.
