Center City Philadelphia, Where The Pew Charitable Trusts Was Founded 75 Years Ago

The Benjamin Franklin Parkway runs through the heart of Center City in Philadelphia, where The Pew Charitable Trusts was founded by two sons and two daughters of Sun Oil Co. founder Joseph N. Pew and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew. This year marks Pew’s 75th anniversary and over those years the organization has worked in its hometown to support social service and civic organizations and the arts even as its other projects have expanded throughout the nation and around the globe.
