Search a database of vetted nonprofits to donate to or volunteer with
Overview
What Benevity does
Benevity runs corporate giving and volunteering programmes, and this connector searches the nonprofit database behind them. The listing puts the size at over 2.3 million vetted organisations.
Vetting is the part that matters for the use case. Choosing where to donate or volunteer turns on whether an organisation is legitimate and in good standing, and that check is what a general web search cannot supply. The surface is small, at two tools. This connector carries the partner tier, meaning it passed a review step, and Benevity publishes documentation.
Tool surface
The endpoint refused with a 403 and named nothing, so two is the publisher's count. The listing describes searching the nonprofit database and engaging with a chosen cause.
Availability
Where Benevity is listed
Benevity is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Benevity has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Benevity publishes 2 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 5.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Nonprofit publishes 5.5, so this one sits 3.5 tools below its bucket's median, 8th of 8.
It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory.
Benevity publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
