Pew, an independent United States nonprofit charity created in 2002, is the sole beneficiary of seven individual trust funds established between 1948 and 1979. While Pew does accept grants and donations, Pew had no donors, other than two of our trusts, during FY23 which contributed more than 10% of Pew’s budget. The majority of remaining income for Pew’s FY23 budget came from disbursements from Pew’s other trusts and investments. Pew does not have members and does not receive membership contributions. Pew did not receive any public or government financing during FY23.

Our intermediary in FY24 was Logos (€ 139,618). Logos is currently under contract in FY25.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
