Fearless Fund settles DEI fight |
And here's another Jessica Guynn story: |
Fearless Fund will end a grant program for Black women, settling a closely watched case that challenged corporate DEI efforts. |
As part of a legal settlement, the Fearless Fund permanently closed its Fearless Strivers grant contest. |

The iconic brand has branched out into much broader territory since it was founded as Anderson & Campbell in 1869, taking on other food and snack brands like Pepperidge Farm, Swanson, Pace Foods, Prego and Snyder's-Lance, subsidiaries that produce everything from salsa and pasta sauce to goldfish crackers, pretzels and TV dinners. |
Now just the "Campbell Company," the brand will continue to place an emphasis on the lucrative snacking category. Soup may still be good food, but it is a mere afterthought. |
