Anthropic announces “Claude Corps,” a $150 million fellowship program designed to place early-career AI talent inside U.S. nonprofits for one year. Multiple outlets report the program will recruit and support 1,000 fellows who are embedded in more than 400 nonprofit organizations nationwide. The initiative aims to help nonprofits adopt and implement Claude, Anthropic’s agentic AI model, including training and practical assistance for organizational teams.
The Next Web reports fellows are paid $85,000 plus benefits during their year-long placements and that applicants do not need a college degree. Quartz similarly describes the scale and duration of placements. Inc. highlights that the nonprofit partners are organizations that are interested in using AI but typically lack in-house engineering capacity.
The Non-Profit Times adds that Anthropic partners with CodePath and Social Finance to launch the program and that it begins with an initial cohort of 100 candidates. The Next Web also says applications open and close on July 17, though the specific application window is not detailed by other sources.
