Nonprofits are the unsung heroes, tackling society's toughest challenges with limited resources. In a groundbreaking move, we're partnering with the global generosity initiative, GivingTuesday, to launch Claude for Nonprofits, a game-changer for organizations worldwide.
Claude is already making a difference for nonprofits like the Epilepsy Foundation, providing 24/7 support to millions of Americans with epilepsy. The International Rescue Committee is using Claude to navigate time-sensitive humanitarian crises, while IDinsight, a research powerhouse, reports a 16-fold increase in efficiency. SkillUp and Robin Hood are also harnessing Claude's power for coding and administrative tasks, saving valuable resources.
But here's where it gets interesting: we've learned from our nonprofit partners that AI integration works best when it's seamless, privacy-focused, and affordable. That's why Claude for Nonprofits offers three key benefits: discounted access of up to 75% to Claude's powerful tools, connectors to essential nonprofit platforms like Blackbaud, Candid, and Benevity, and a free course, AI Fluency for Nonprofits, designed to empower teams with AI skills.
With Claude, nonprofits can access Team and Enterprise plans at a fraction of the cost. Our Team plan is perfect for smaller organizations, offering shared projects and knowledge, while our Enterprise plan caters to larger nonprofits with enhanced security and control. At the discounted price, nonprofits gain access to Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Haiku 4.5, with Sonnet ideal for complex tasks like grant writing and program analysis, and Haiku offering lightning-fast performance.
And this is the part most people miss: Claude's connectors. These links integrate AI seamlessly into existing platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. We've added three open-source connectors specifically for nonprofits, including Benevity for volunteering and donation searches, Blackbaud for donor management and fundraising, and Candid for nonprofit and funder data. We're also collaborating with experts like The Bridgespan Group and Idealist Consulting to ensure nonprofits receive tailored support in adopting new technologies.
Our free course, AI Fluency for Nonprofits, is a game-changer for staff new to AI. It covers everything from grant writing to donor engagement, helping nonprofits use AI effectively without a technical background. Available through our Anthropic Academy, the course is complemented by step-by-step guides, offering practical ideas for key nonprofit workflows.
We've partnered with organizations like Constellation Fund and Tipping Point Community to pilot Claude with grantee organizations, gaining insights into grant proposals, program impact analysis, and donor stewardship. We've also learned from our customers across the nonprofit sector, witnessing how Claude strengthens human connection and advances community well-being.
For instance, with global health funding shrinking, Claude helped one nonprofit build an interactive geospatial tool in just three days, mapping at-risk populations for cost-effective dengue prevention. Another nonprofit, SkillUp, is building complex AI systems that would typically require 20+ engineers, thanks to Claude Code.
Our collaboration with Claude for Nonprofits offers nonprofits the most advanced technology to find funding and make a real impact. By integrating Blackbaud's sector-specific data and Claude's seamless experience, we're unlocking new connections and empowering nonprofits to tell their stories, get more done, and explore innovative ways to serve their communities.
This partnership is a lightning strike of ethics, purpose, and innovation. Together, we're building a foundation for nonprofits to adopt AI ethically and effectively, shaping civil society and ensuring AI benefits the public good. With Claude for Nonprofits, we're not just providing technology; we're empowering nonprofits to forge connections, accelerate impact, and make a lasting difference.
