Anthropic has announced a new Public Benefit Fund, committing 5% of the company’s shares to support projects intended to benefit society.
The fund will operate as a wholly owned entity within Anthropic. The company said the structure will give it greater flexibility and scale when supporting public-benefit initiatives.
Anthropic could also contribute an additional 2% of its shares for every 50% increase in the company’s value.
Anthropic has not yet decided exactly how the fund will spend its resources.
However, the company said it could use the funds for large donations to traditional nonprofit organizations and direct distributions to specific populations.
