- Major brands like Mastercard, Budweiser, PepsiCo and Nissan are scaling back or withdrawing from high-profile Pride events, with some opting for smaller, local engagements or internal initiatives instead.
- Nearly 40 percent of Fortune 1000 executives surveyed cited pressure from conservative activists and political figures as a reason for reducing involvement, per a Gravity Research poll.
- Forty-three percent of companies plan to cut back on Pride-related marketing (merchandise, social media, sponsorships), while 19 percent will dial down internal LGBTQ+ workplace programs.
- Some brands attribute their pullback to budget reviews and fears of backlash, particularly amid rising tensions over diversity programs and trade policies under discussion linked to Trump-era economic strategies.
- Despite public retreats, some corporations still fund LGBTQ+ initiatives quietly, requesting anonymity in Pride materials to avoid controversy while maintaining behind-the-scenes support.
(Natural News)—Major corporations are stepping back from their long-standing sponsorships of high-profile Pride events.
Mastercard, a decade-long supporter of New York City’s Pride March, confirmed it will not renew its “platinum” sponsorship for 2025, though it will still participate in the march and other events.
Similarly, Anheuser-Busch InBev (Budweiser) and Diageo recently withdrew from Pride events in St. Louis and San Francisco, respectively, following backlash in 2023 over LGBTQ+-themed campaigns that alienated some consumers.
PepsiCo, Nissan, Citi and PricewaterhouseCoopers have also opted not to renew their corporate sponsorships this year, citing a broader review of marketing spending.
Heritage of Pride, organizers of NYC’s march, reports that two-thirds of 2023 sponsors have renewed, but negotiations with others remain ongoing. Some brands have scaled back funding due to revised sponsorship packages that exclude ancillary marketing opportunities
Nearly 4 in 10 major corporations to scale back Pride sponsorships
Major corporations scaling back from their Pride sponsorships coincide with a new Gravity Research survey.
The survey, conducted from March 27 to April 4, has revealed that 39 percent of corporations are planning to reduce their engagement with Pride Month this June. Forty-three percent of those companies plan to reduce external displays of support, including Pride merchandise, social media campaigns and event sponsorships. Meanwhile, 19 percent will decrease internal LGBTQ initiatives, such as employee resource groups and workplace inclusion programs.
Only 41 percent of companies said their Pride support will not change, while the rest are undecided.
Luke Hartig, president of Gravity Research, said the findings reflect “how dramatically the cultural and political tides have turned,” noting that such a retreat on Pride engagement would’ve been unthinkable just five years ago.

Eve Keller, co-president of the United States Association of Prides, a nonprofit that supports Pride event organizers in the U.S., echoed a similar statement. She explained that this trend comes from opposition to diversity programs under the second administration of President Donald Trump and economic worries from his tariffs.
“It’s multilayered and it’s all happening at the same time,” said Keller. In some cases, the fear of political backlash has led companies to continue supporting LGBTQ+ organizations discreetly, even requesting that their logos and branding be omitted from official Pride displays and merchandise.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
