Claude for Non-Profits

Anthropic joined Google and OpenAI in announcing its newest model in the last two weeks - but unlike the other two companies - it is gate-kept for paying customers. (The other two will throttle access for free users). Some are claiming Claude Opus 4.5 is the best - not something I'm prepared to evaluate or argue; however - Anthropic did announce some other news:

Claude for Nonprofits includes three things: discounted access of up to 75% to Claude, connectors to new nonprofit tools—Blackbaud, Candid, and Benevity—and a free course, AI Fluency for Nonprofits, designed to help teams use AI more effectively.

If you're a non-profit, especially in the education space, this might be promising if you lean into coding, in particular, somewhere where Claude has long been viewed as the best.

I believe there's also an argument for Anthropic to be the most ethical of the major companies (sorry Scott Alexander).
