Claude for Nonprofits

Nonprofits tackle some of society’s most difficult problems, often with limited resources. In partnership with the global generosity movement GivingTuesday, we’re launching Claude for Nonprofits to help organizations across the world maximize their impact.

Many nonprofits already use Claude to meet their goals. The Epilepsy Foundation is providing 24/7 support through Claude to 3.4 million Americans living with epilepsy. The International Rescue Committee is using Claude to communicate with local partners and analyze field data faster in time-sensitive humanitarian settings. IDinsight, a research organization supporting global development leaders, reports working up to 16× faster with Claude. SkillUp and Robin Hood also use Claude for coding and administrative work that would otherwise require significantly more resources.

These organizations have taught us what works—and what doesn't. From our partners, we know AI helps most when it fits into existing workflows, upholds the privacy their communities expect, and is affordable.

Claude for Nonprofits includes three things: discounted access of up to 75% to Claude, connectors to new nonprofit tools—Blackbaud, Candid, and Benevity—and a free course, AI Fluency for Nonprofits, designed to help teams use AI more effectively.

Discounted access to Team and Enterprise plans

Nonprofits are now eligible for a discount of up to 75% on Team and Enterprise plans.

Our Team plan is designed for smaller organizations looking to collaborate through shared projects and organizational knowledge. Our Enterprise plan suits larger nonprofits that need additional security features and administrative control.

At the discounted price, Claude for Nonprofits includes access to Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Haiku 4.5. Sonnet 4.5 is best suited to sophisticated tasks like grant writing and program analysis, while Haiku 4.5 offers near-frontier performance at much faster speed. In addition, Claude Opus 4.5 is available on request - if your team is on Claude for Enterprise, you can reach out to your account team for access.

Connecting new services to Claude

Claude supports a number of connectors that link AI to the platforms that teams already use, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Asana, Slack, and Box.

We’re now adding three open-source connectors to nonprofit tools, and we expect to launch more soon. Claude can now connect to:

• Benevity, which can be used to access more than 2.4 million validated nonprofits to support volunteering and donation searches in Claude;
• Blackbaud, which provides CRM and fundraising tools for donor management, campaign tracking, and giving optimization; and
• Candid, which provides data on nonprofits and funders for the discovery of organizations, grants, and philanthropic opportunities.

We’re also collaborating with The Bridgespan Group, Idealist Consulting, Vera Solutions, and Slalom, who provide tailored expertise to nonprofits adopting new technologies. We’ll work together to support nonprofits with their overall strategy, impact measurement, and organization-wide implementation of AI.

AI Fluency for Nonprofits

In partnership with GivingTuesday, we’ve developed a free course, AI Fluency for Nonprofits. The curriculum focuses on how staff can use AI more effectively for grant writing, program evaluation, donor engagement, organizational efficiency, and more. It’s designed for those who are new to AI, and requires no technical background.

AI Fluency for Nonprofits is now available via our Anthropic Academy. We’re supplementing this with a collection of step-by-step guides, available here, to prompt additional ideas on key nonprofit workflows like grant-writing and impact reporting.

Learning from our partners and customers

We’ve partnered with the Constellation Fund, Robin Hood, and Tipping Point Community to pilot Claude with more than 60 of their grantee organizations. This is helping us understand how to better support nonprofits as they produce grant proposals that align with funders’ interests, analyze program impact, provide large-scale donor stewardship, and generate board materials and compliance documentation.

We've also been learning from dozens of our customers across the nonprofit sector:

At a time when AI could divide or unite communities, we're choosing to lead with our values—using Claude to strengthen human connection and advance wellbeing for all communities.

With global health funding shrinking, smart targeting is essential. Claude helped us build an interactive geospatial tool in three days versus weeks, mapping at-risk populations to identify where Guatemala's Ministry of Health could most cost-effectively deploy dengue prevention.

With AWS and Claude, we built Sage—an AI companion trained on 25,000+ pages of epilepsy expertise, now available 24/7 in 5 languages to 3.4 million Americans living with epilepsy. It embodies our promise that no one should ever have to face epilepsy alone.

Claude enables 4× faster implementation, helping MyFriendBen connect families to unclaimed benefits and tax credits. Our Claude-powered agents track up to 40+ programs per state, identifying over $1.2 billion in value for 70,000+ households.

With Claude Enterprise, we're equipping teams to work more efficiently—from streamlining data analysis to accelerating support for local partners building lasting, community-led solutions to humanitarian crises.

With more than 2 million New Yorkers living in poverty, we and our partners need to move at the speed of crisis. Claude helps us build that muscle—to move through grant recommendations more efficiently and to direct resources where they'll make the greatest difference when every day matters.

IDinsight helps global development leaders use data and evidence to maximize social impact. With Claude, our teams get surveys field-ready 16× faster, prototype dashboards in hours instead of weeks, and draft documentation 5× faster—spending less time on tedious tasks and more time driving impact that matters.

We've deployed Claude across strategic finance—lease analysis, reporting, reconciliations, audit summarization. Claude excels at strategic analysis compared to other LLMs, making it uniquely suited to our mission-critical work.

SkillUp is building complex AI systems a normal company would need 20+ engineers for. Claude Code helps level the playing field for organizations that must be efficient, allowing them to build more with the team we have.

Our partnership with Anthropic has enabled our team and grantees to use AI to better understand the impacts of our grants, get more done faster, and explore new ways to tell our story to donors and the community.

At a time when nonprofits grapple with scarce resources, our collaboration with Claude for Nonprofits offers the most advanced technology to help them find funding. Our shared objective: provide greater access to trustworthy data and inspire confidence to explore AI.

Blackbaud's sector-specific data and expertise combined with Claude's frictionless experience will unlock new connections and make it easier to get work done. We couldn't be more excited to see the positive change our customers will drive.

We're proud to integrate trusted Benevity nonprofit data with Claude for Nonprofits. Responsible AI should build trust, drive efficiency, and elevate human connection. Together we're empowering nonprofits to forge community connections and accelerate impact.

After 20 years in social impact, catching lightning in a bottle doesn't happen often. This partnership is that lightning: an alignment of ethics, purpose, and innovation. Together, we're building the foundation for nonprofits to adopt AI ethically, effectively, and with real impact.

Civil society should be central in shaping how AI evolves and the people it benefits. Our collaboration with Anthropic is focused on equipping social sector leaders with the knowledge and skills they need to use AI responsibly in service of the public good.

Vera has spent years helping nonprofits build robust data systems. Now, as a Claude systems integrator, we're integrating AI into nonprofit workflows to help organizations measure what matters, learn faster, and scale impact more effectively.
