The Tech Transparency Project reports that Google removed 58 nonprofit organizations from a public list of those receiving “most substantial contributions” from its US Government Affairs and Public Policy team.
What many people won’t see at first glance is this: many of the groups removed are not “diversity” organizations in the way the public often imagines.
Yes, they may include the words “diversity,” “equity,” “inclusion,” “race,” “activism,” or “women” in their mission statements — but in reality, they’ve been lifelines for women, survivors of violence, and those working to end abuse.
Who Was Quietly Erased from the List
The nonprofits removed include:
African American Community Service Agency — empowering Black and historically excluded communities.
Latino Leadership Alliance — advancing race equity affecting the Latino community.
National Network to End Domestic Violence — providing training, assistance, and public awareness campaigns on violence against women.
These organizations aren’t just talking points. They’ve trained advocates, educated lawmakers, and literally saved lives.
What Google Says
A Google spokesperson stated that the updated list reflects 2024 contributions from one division and doesn’t capture donations from other teams. He noted the company gave $75,000 to the National Network to End Domestic Violence in 2024 — but gave no explanation for its removal from the public list.
Why This Matters to Survivors
It has been a funding lifeline for shelters, advocacy training, and prevention programs.
It has built access to legal help, education, and emergency support for victims of domestic and sexual violence.
It has protected spaces where women could speak and be believed.
Remove those resources — or even make their funding invisible — and you weaken the safety net for victims.
