As DEI Policies Come Under Legal Attack, Philanthropic Donors Consider How to Adapt

Arian Simone, left, and Ayana Parsons, right, of the Fearless Fund, attend a news conference, Aug. 10, 2023, in New York. Foundations and major donors aren’t just watching court cases like the Supreme Court’s June decision ending affirmative action at universities, the ongoing lawsuit against a grant program aimed at supporting Black women entrepreneurs, and other legal challenges targeting corporate diversity programs. They are mobilizing to respond. One battleground will be the lawsuit challenging grants from the Fearless Fund, which awarded $20,000 to businesses that are at least 51% owned by Black women, among other requirements.
