Put in your website and click Check it out. We will read it and find six things AI can do with and for your organization.
Claude reads your public website to write this report. We do not store what you enter, and your report stays in this browser.
In one survey of 346 nonprofits, 92% use AI in some way. Only 7% report major improvements in their ability to achieve their mission. The difference is rarely the tool. It is knowing which work to give it, and which work to keep.

Before you try any of this
Keep names and private details out of AI, whatever the account. On Claude's personal plans, Anthropic may use your conversations to improve its models unless you switch that off in your privacy settings. On its Team plan, your organization's conversations are not used for training by default, and registered nonprofits pay $8 a person each month, for two people or more. Prices as of November 2026.

Anthropic, the company that makes Claude, offers a free online course for nonprofit teams: AI Fluency for Nonprofits, about six hours, made with GivingTuesday. I hold two certificates from Anthropic Academy, AI Fluency: Framework and Foundations and AI Fluency for Educators.
If you like one or more of these suggestions, let's connect, and I can explore with you even more ways to leverage and align your mission to your results.
I come to your organization for a working session with your staff or board. We take the jobs from your report and do them live, with your own material. We write down what stays private and what stays human, in your words. And we build an assessment for the people you serve: a few questions that let them tell you what they need, so every program and every message after it fits the person in front of you. Building those assessments is the work I know best.
Send me your report and the job you would start with. I will write back with how a session would go for you.
