Anthropic said that it will commit 5% of its shares to the fund.

Anthropic announced today that it’s creating a “public benefit fund” that will give the company “increased flexibility and scale” to support projects for societal good.

Anthropic said that it will commit 5% of its shares to the fund — structured as a wholly-owned entity within the company — with the option to contribute an additional 2% for every 50% increase in Anthropic’s value. And it offered some broad-strokes ideas for how this money might actually be used, such as “large donations to traditional nonprofits or direct distributions to specific populations.”
