OpenAI has launched an initiative called OpenAI for Nonprofits to make its tools more accessible to nonprofit organizations by offering discounted rates for ChatGPT Team and Enterprise. This initiative aims to help nonprofits overcome operational challenges, limited funding, and staffing shortages by leveraging ChatGPT to increase productivity and serve their communities more effectively.

Discounted Rates for Nonprofits

• ChatGPT Team: Available at a discounted rate of $20 per month per user.
• ChatGPT Enterprise: Larger nonprofits can access a 50% discount by contacting the sales team. This includes advanced models like GPT-4, custom GPTs, a collaborative workspace, admin tools, and robust privacy and security standards.

Applications of ChatGPT in Nonprofits

Nonprofits are already using ChatGPT in various ways to enhance their operations and productivity, leading to tangible social impacts. Here are four stories illustrating its use:

Simplifying Access to International Funding

• Serenas: A nonprofit in Brazil dedicated to ending violence against women and girls. ChatGPT helps draft grant proposals, adapt content for donor templates, and produce materials in multiple languages, making it easier to connect with international donors.

Improving Client-Centered Care

• GLIDE Unconditional Legal Clinic: Uses ChatGPT to support legal aid in walk-in client meetings. Pro-bono attorneys can provide more in-depth support by reviewing documents, summarizing key findings, and finding relevant referrals during the meetings.

Enhancing Data Analysis Capabilities

• THINK South Africa: Trains public health professionals to use ChatGPT for cleaning, analyzing, and interpreting health data. Initially apprehensive, the professionals found that ChatGPT enhanced their creative and analytical capabilities. THINK is now developing a toolkit and training program to broaden the benefits of ChatGPT across public health programs in South Africa.

Curating High-Quality Resources

• Team4Tech: Uses ChatGPT to curate their EdTech resource hub, serving over 800 organizations and 39 million learners globally. ChatGPT performs initial evaluations of resources, flagging areas of alignment or concern, which helps Team4Tech staff conduct due diligence more quickly and accurately.

Future Plans

OpenAI plans to develop and provide more resources to help nonprofits maximize the benefits of AI technology and share best practices. Nonprofits interested in staying connected can apply to join the nonprofit community being built on the OpenAI Forum.
