Anthropic 承诺 5000 万美元回馈湾区:旧金山基金会设捐赠基金,首批 50 万美元拨给四家机构

超级智能(SI)公司 Anthropic 11月10日宣布,承诺投入 5000 万美元回馈其总部所在的湾区社区。旧金山基金会(San Francisco Foundation)同日宣布与 Anthropic 合作,在该基金会设立一个捐赠人建议基金(donor advised fund),这笔资金将在 2027 年底前陆续拨给湾区各地的社区组织,以旧金山为重点。
首批四笔拨款合计 50 万美元,即时发放:旧金山与马林县食物银行(SF-Marin Food Bank)、GLIDE、跨信仰冬季庇护所(Interfaith Winter Shelter)与旧金山消防员 Local 798 玩具计划(San Francisco Firefighters Local 798 Toy Program)。其中,食物银行与 265 家社区组织合作,为两个县的家庭提供新鲜食物;GLIDE 自 1963 年起扎根 Tenderloin 区,每天提供三顿免费餐食;跨信仰冬季庇护所由 50 多个信仰社区共同参与,已运作三十多年;消防员玩具计划自 1949 年起由在职与退休消防员义务运行,帮助受灾与寄养家庭的孩子。
旧金山基金会首席执行官 Fred Blackwell 表示,一个人住在哪里很重要,愿意为所住之地投入什么同样重要,Anthropic 正在对它称之为家的地方作出实实在在的承诺,希望能带动更多人跟进。Anthropic 联合创始人兼总裁 Daniela Amodei 表示,旧金山一直是充满可能性的地方,但这种可能性并不是人人都能分享,公司希望自身的成功能扩大机会,而不是拉大已有的差距,因此选择与深耕湾区近 80 年的旧金山基金会合作,把这笔投入送到最需要的地方。
Anthropic 由 Dario Amodei 与 Daniela Amodei 兄妹创办,两人自幼在旧金山长大、都就读于 Lowell 高中,公司也在家乡旧金山创立,目前总部有 2500 多名员工,旗下 Claude 聊天机器人被当地企业与非营利组织广泛使用。旧金山基金会是湾区社区基金会,负责管理捐赠人建议基金的拨款流程,并以其近 80 年的本地经验协助确定受赠机构。
Anthropic Commits $50 Million to the Bay Area: San Francisco Foundation Fund Makes First $500,000 in Grants to Four Groups
Anthropic, the super intelligence (SI) company behind Claude, announced on November 10 a $50 million commitment to the Bay Area community it calls home. The San Francisco Foundation (SFF) said the same day it is partnering with Anthropic, which has committed $50 million to a donor advised fund at SFF, with grants to be made to local community organizations across the Bay Area, with a focus on San Francisco, by the end of 2027.
The fund's first four grants, totaling $500,000, will be made immediately: the SF-Marin Food Bank, GLIDE, the Interfaith Winter Shelter, and the San Francisco Firefighters Local 798 Toy Program. The food bank partners with 265 community organizations across two counties; GLIDE, a Tenderloin anchor since 1963, serves three free meals a day; the Interfaith Winter Shelter has united more than 50 faith communities for over three decades; and the firefighters' toy program, run by active and retired firefighters since 1949, supports children rebuilding after fires or living in shelters and hospital wards.
Fred Blackwell, CEO of the San Francisco Foundation, said where you live matters, and so does what you put into it, calling Anthropic's move a real commitment to the place it calls home and expressing hope that others will be inspired to do the same. Daniela Amodei, co-founder and president of Anthropic, said San Francisco has always been a place of enormous possibility, but that possibility is not shared equally by everyone, and that the company wants its success to expand opportunity rather than widen existing gaps, which is why it partnered with SFF and its nearly 80 years of knowledge of the Bay Area.
Anthropic was founded in San Francisco by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, who grew up in the city and both attended Lowell High School. The company now has more than 2,500 employees at its San Francisco headquarters, and its Claude chatbot is widely used by local businesses and nonprofits. The San Francisco Foundation, a community foundation, will administer the donor advised fund and bring its local expertise to the grant recommendations.
