Google has sharply reduced its support for nonprofit groups devoted to diversity, equity, and inclusion, in what appears to be another sign the company is falling in line with President Trump’s anti-DEI crusade, the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) has found.

Google publishes a list of organizations that receive the “most substantial contributions” from the company. In early 2025, Google removed more than 200 groups from the list, its biggest purge in at least five years. The largest category of removals related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), a concept that has come under sustained attack by the Trump administration. A total of 58 DEI-related groups disappeared from the list.

It is unclear if Google stopped funding these organizations or is simply seeking to hide its support for them. However, either scenario suggests Google is taking further steps to distance itself from DEI programs.

After Trump took office and began rolling back DEI efforts, Google removed references to diversity, equity, and inclusion from its annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and ended diversity-related hiring goals. Like other Big Tech companies and executives, Google donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

Google and most of the groups removed from Google's list did not respond to questions. One of the groups, the ACLU of Illinois, declined to comment and directed questions to Google.

In a statement to CNBC, which covered this report, Google said, “We contribute to hundreds of groups from across the political spectrum that advocate for pro-innovation policies, and those groups change from year to year based on where our contributions will have the most impact.”

TTP identified Google’s disappearing DEI groups while updating its Tech Funding Database. The searchable database, which is linked on TTP’s website, provides information on whether organizations have received funding from Big Tech firms, based on company disclosures. The latest update adds disclosures from 2021 to the most recent available.

According to archived web pages, Google made an update to its list of funded organizations sometime between Jan. 11 and April 9, 2025. A Google Transparency page indicates the update occurred in February 2025. The company removed a total of 214 groups while adding 101.

TTP’s analysis found that the largest category of purged groups were DEI-related. These groups had mission statements that included the words “diversity, “equity,” “inclusion,” or other terms that Trump administration officials have reportedly told federal agencies to limit or avoid, including “race,” “activism,” and “women.”

During the update, Google removed the names of 58 DEI-related groups while adding 15, a far smaller number. That reduced the number of such groups on the list by more than a half. (Other, smaller clusters of organizations removed by Google included local chambers of commerce, universities, and tech policy groups.)

Organizations that disappeared from Google’s list include the African American Community Service Agency, which seeks to “empower all Black and historically excluded communities”; the Latino Leadership Alliance, which is dedicated to “race equity affecting the Latino community”; Enroot, which creates out-of-school experiences for immigrant kids; and the National Network to End Domestic Violence, which provides training, assistance, and public awareness campaigns on the issue of violence against women.

Google told CNBC it gave $75,000 to the National Network to End Domestic Violence in 2024 but did not say why it was removed from the funding list.

Google’s list of third-party organizations continued to identify itself as a 2024 document even after the early 2025 update. But the updated version clearly covered 2025 activity: It included Google’s $1 million donation to the Trump-Vance inaugural fund, a payment that was made on Jan. 6, 2025, according to Federal Election Commission records.
