Anthropic partners with Benevity, Blackbaud and Candid to widen non-profit AI access

On Giving Tuesday, AI company Anthropic announced the launch of Claude for Nonprofits, allowing more social purpose organizations to access its large language model. 

The offering includes discounts on the AI product, as well as integrations with prominent non-profit tools like Blackbaud, Benevity and Candid. The connectors enable Claude to incorporate data from these platforms into its responses. 

The company cited examples of several non-profits that are already using Claude extensively for custom chatbots, data analysis, and coding and administrative work. 

In comparison, OpenAI for Nonprofits allows for discounts of between 20 and 25 per cent on its ChatGPT Business and ChatGPT Enterprise products. However, these discounts do not apply to the ChatGPT API. 

OpenAI has stated that it does not use the data of ChatGPT Business and ChatGPT Enterprise users to train its own large language models. Anthropic, on the other hand, has not made any mention of whether user data will be used in model training.
