Anthropic Launches Fellowship to Seed AI Talent at Nonprofits

Anthropic is launching a $150 million program called Claude Corps to embed artificial intelligence engineers in nonprofits for a year.
The program matches early-career AI engineers with U.S. nonprofits and supports them for 12 months in roles like feeding families, rehousing refugees, and supporting veterans.
CodePath will serve as the employer of record, providing weekly training, while Social Finance leads measurement and financial structure for potential scalability.
The first cohort of 100 fellows will start in October, with applications closing July 17, and additional cohorts scheduled for early and mid-2027.
The initiative expects 400 nonprofits to participate, including food banks, veteran support programs, and conservation groups, aiming to fill the talent gap between AI’s potential and its actual impact in organizations most affected by economic disruption.
Anthropic plans to expand the program internationally, scale it to over 1,000 fellows, and open-source the core infrastructure to encourage similar initiatives globally.
The company released a policy framework addressing the broader impacts of AI on work as part of the program’s announcement.
