Anthropic releases a Claude for Nonprofits plugin of skills and connectors

Anthropic has released the Claude for Nonprofits plugin, a set of skills and connectors it says it built with about 30 nonprofits in its Design Partner Circle. It is installed automatically, at no additional cost, for nonprofits on Team and Enterprise plans.

According to Anthropic, the plugin starts with three areas:

• Extend your team: marketing campaign planning and drafting in the organization's voice; hiring help such as job posts, interview guides and scoring rubrics, and answering staff questions from a handbook; board work such as skills gap analysis, orientation packets and meeting decks.
• Set up Claude responsibly: a skill that maps where the organization keeps donor data, grant files, finances and policies (saved per person when memory is on, and read first by the other skills), and a skill that answers "Can I use Claude for this?" from the organization's own AI policy.
• Fund your mission: researching funders and open grants with cited sources, breaking down an RFP's eligibility and requirements, drafting proposals and grant reports with sources for figures, and preparing funder briefs, thank-you notes and donor updates.

Anthropic also says it plans to extend Claude Corps, its program placing early-career fellows in U.S. nonprofits, through a partnership with Taproot that would match nonprofits with pro bono consultants. It says more than 25,000 nonprofits now use Claude, and that it does not train its models on customer data by default. Two live webinars for admins and staff are scheduled for November 10 and 12.
