Anthropic is setting aside $150 million for Claude Corps, where recent graduates are paid to help American nonprofit organizations with AI. The program arrives as the company has confidentially filed for an IPO.

Anthropic, the company behind the AI assistant Claude, has launched a fellowship program called Claude Corps. The idea is to place young recent graduates at nonprofit organizations in the US to help them use AI in their daily work. Nonprofits are charitable or public-benefit organizations that do not operate to make money for their owners.

Anthropic is setting aside an initial $150 million for the program.

Pay and training

Fellows receive a full-time salary of $85,000 a year. They get intensive onboarding and an additional 5 hours of ongoing training per week.

Applicants must be over 18, have less than two years of full-time experience and have authorization to work in the US. They must also be willing to relocate.

Schedule and partners

The first cohort consists of 100 fellows. The application deadline is July 17, and the cohort starts in October 2026. A second cohort is planned to start in March 2027 and a third in August 2027.

CodePath is the employer of the fellows and is responsible for the program's content. Social Finance handles measurement and evaluation, as well as a long-term funding model meant to make it possible to expand the program. Anthropic provides the funding and leads the strategy.

The host organizations mentioned include YMCA of Greater Charlotte, Goodwill Industries, RAINN, Code for America and Year Up United.

Heading for the stock market at the same time

Anthropic announced on June 1, 2026, that it has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is a step toward going public with common shares. The filing came less than a week after a $65 billion funding round that, according to TechCrunch, valued the company at $965 billion post-money.

TechCrunch reports that Anthropic's revenue run rate is above $47 billion, up from $9 billion at the end of 2025.

The number of shares, the price and the terms have not yet been determined, and the offering itself depends on market conditions.
