Anthropic’s giving is tightly aligned with its core mission as an AI safety and research company: helping mission-driven organizations adopt AI responsibly and effectively. Rather than traditional grantmaking, it appears to invest through in-kind support and capacity building, especially by placing early-career AI fellows inside nonprofits and offering discounted access to Claude. The program is designed for organizations that can use technical talent to improve operations, data workflows, and service delivery.
Primarily in-kind support rather than cash grants, combining embedded technical talent with discounted product access through structured fellowship and nonprofit access programs.
Position your organization as ready to host a full-time technical fellow and describe concrete AI use cases with clear operational or programmatic impact. Anthropic will likely favor nonprofits with strong data/tech needs, staff capacity to manage a fellow, and a clear plan for how Claude or AI tooling will improve service delivery, internal efficiency, or scale.
