Discounted Claude Team at US$8/user/month (US$3 in low- and middle-income countries) and custom Enterprise discounts (reported up to 75%) for registered 501(c)(3) organisations and international equivalents.
For Team, verify through Goodstack (about 2 to 3 minutes for organisations under 20 people). For Enterprise, speak to Anthropic's nonprofit sales team, who verify you directly.
Great for
- Small to mid-sized nonprofits that want a shared AI workspace at a low price
- Teams writing grants, appeals, reports and policies who want strong long-document handling
- Organisations that want an AI that can take actions across their files and apps (Cowork)
- Organisations in low- and middle-income countries, where the Team plan is cheaper still
- Very low nonprofit price with fast Goodstack verification
- Commercial plans are not trained on by default
Watch out for
- Teams that need image generation built in
- Organisations that must have the AI embedded in Microsoft or Google apps rather than a separate app
- Minimum of 2 seats on Team
- No built-in image generation
- Team plan has no custom retention setting (Enterprise only)
- Usage limits can interrupt heavy users

About Claude+
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant for drafting appeals, grant applications and policies, summarising long documents, analysing data and building files such as slides and spreadsheets. Claude for Nonprofits offers a discounted Team plan with connectors to tools such as Blackbaud, Benevity and Candid, plus Claude Cowork for agent-style tasks. Anthropic also offers lower pricing for organisations in low- and middle-income countries and a free AI Fluency for Nonprofits course.
Pricing: Nonprofit Team plan is US$8 per user per month, or US$3 in low- and middle-income countries, with a minimum of 2 seats (claude.com/solutions/nonprofits, 2 October 2026). Enterprise is custom.

The product is AI: Claude models for chat, long-document analysis, file creation, research, coding and Cowork agent tasks.
Data & privacy+
Anthropic states that by default it does not use inputs or outputs from commercial products (Team, Enterprise, API) for model training. Exceptions: if a user rates a reply with thumbs up or down, the whole conversation is stored for up to 5 years and may be used after de-identification; Team and Enterprise owners can turn off the 'Rate chats' setting. Deleted conversations disappear from your history immediately and are deleted from Anthropic's back-end systems within 30 days. Enterprise customers can set custom retention (minimum 30 days); Team workspaces do not have an equivalent control (secondary source). Consumer plans (Free, Pro, Max) follow separate rules, where a training setting can be switched on and then keeps de-identified data for up to 5 years. Data-hosting regions were not confirmed.
