Artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced a suite of new offerings for nonprofit organizations Tuesday morning, joining Google and OpenAI in offering AI products to the nonprofit sector.

Nonprofit organizations will have access to discounted pricing for Anthropic’s flagship Claude AI models in addition to tools geared toward nonprofit use. The announcement was made on Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, when many nonprofit groups and charities encourage donations and giving back.

Elizabeth Kelly, head of beneficial deployments at Anthropic, said the new offerings will allow nonprofit groups to seize on the benefits of the company’s advanced AI systems. “We view this as a really important step in harnessing the power of AI for social impact and continuing to work towards world-changing applications of AI,” Kelly told NBC News.

Anthropic will offer nonprofit organizations discounts of 70% to 75% on its Claude tools for businesses, depending on the exact product, along with specific technical tools optimized for nonprofit groups’ operational needs.

Google offers similar discounts of 70% to 75% off its business and enterprise products, which feature expanded access to its Gemini AI models and general AI integrations within software like Google Docs and Sheets, while OpenAI offers discounts of 20% to 25%.
