Summary
Many major companies are scaling back or abandoning DEI programs due to scrutiny from the Trump administration. Corporate philanthropic activities are also under review, with companies reevaluating their charitable giving programs to align with new political reality. Legal challenges to DEI-related policies are increasing, leading companies to reassess their philanthropic goals and risk tolerance. Despite the challenges, many companies remain committed to DEI initiatives and are finding ways to reshape their philanthropic goals to avoid legal trouble. Companies are revising language used to describe their initiatives to be less controversial and more inclusive. The government's pushback on DEI could impact corporate charitable donation matching programs.
