AI-powered operations for nonprofits of any type — animal welfare, human services, behavioral health, housing, arts, youth programs. Email. Grants. Donors. Compliance. All through conversation, on your computer or your phone.
Free — from one nonprofit to another
Most small nonprofits are run by one or two people doing the work of ten. The mission never stops — and neither does the paperwork.
You're hauling feed at 6am. You're fixing fencing at dusk. You're the director, the accountant, the grant writer, the social media manager, the compliance officer, and the custodian — all at once.
The little critical things get missed. Did you know that filing your Form 990-N three years in a row — even a single year with no income — is required by the IRS? Miss it three times and your 501(c)(3) status is automatically revoked. No warning. No grace period. Gone.
And the big things? The things you haven't even thought about yet? What happens to your animals — or your clients, your community, your mission — if something happens to you? Is your property in a legal trust? Does your board have succession documents?
You don't know what you don't know. And you don't have time to find out.
"We built HAVEN because we needed it. Two people, 52 animals, zero staff, and a very steep learning curve."

HAVEN connects Claude AI to your nonprofit's tools — whatever tools you already use — and gives you a single assistant that learns your organization completely, then works within the boundaries you set.
HAVEN monitors your inbox, deletes junk, flags what matters, and logs new contacts to your CRM. You see only what needs your attention.
990-N filings. State registrations. IRS acknowledgment letters. HAVEN tracks every compliance requirement and reminds you before it's a problem.
HAVEN helps research grants, tracks applications, drafts proposals, and follows up — so your organization is always working toward the next funding opportunity.
Log donations, send acknowledgment letters, track sponsors, and maintain relationships — all in a CRM that HAVEN manages for you.
Log expenses and income the moment they happen. HAVEN connects to Zoho Books and keeps your records clean for grant reporting, tax filing, and board review.
HAVEN drafts posts, writes scripts, and schedules content across Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube — so your mission keeps showing up, even when you're busy living it.
No dashboards. No software to configure. No stack to learn. HAVEN works through conversation — the same way you'd talk to a knowledgeable colleague who already knows your organization.
When you sit down with HAVEN for the first time, it doesn't build anything. It asks. Your mission, your team, your tools, your compliance status, your biggest pain points. It maps your organization completely before proposing a single automation. That conversation is the foundation — skip it and you get a generic system. Do it right and you get something that fits.
From that point on, you just tell it things. "I just paid the vet $180." "We got a $500 donation from the Hendersons." "Remind me to follow up with the county grant office on Thursday." HAVEN logs it, tracks it, follows up on it — without you having to manage a system.
HAVEN also knows its limits. It won't touch what you tell it not to. If your organization handles protected health information, HAVEN works around it — grants, compliance, donors, scheduling — and stays completely away from client records. Boundaries are part of the design, not an afterthought.
And it works from your computer or your phone. If you spend your days in the field, HAVEN is in your pocket.
Example session
HAVEN wasn't designed in a boardroom. It was built in the field — by the same people running a 52-animal sanctuary on a shoestring budget in rural Tennessee.
Every two hours, HAVEN monitors the sanctuary inbox, deletes junk, flags important messages, and logs new contacts — without anyone touching the computer.
HAVEN tracks the annual 990-N deadline and starts reminding months in advance. Three missed filings means automatic revocation. That's not happening here.
HAVEN is researching, drafting, and tracking the sanctuary's first infrastructure grant application — a freeze-proof water system for 52 animals across 32 acres.
Donors, sponsors, volunteers, and veterinarians all live in a CRM that HAVEN maintains automatically — every interaction logged, every follow-up scheduled.
HAVEN manages content across all three platforms — writing scripts, scheduling posts, and helping tell the stories of 52 animals with names, histories, and personalities.
This website was designed, built, and is maintained entirely by HAVEN — from the animal pages to the donation tiers to the code running in the background.
HAVEN adapts to your organization — not the other way around. It works with your existing tools and stays away from what it isn't authorized to touch.
Animal records, vet expense tracking, sponsor relationships, 990-N compliance, and grant research. Proof of concept: HAVEN runs a 52-animal forever sanctuary in rural Tennessee.
Donor tracking, volunteer coordination, grant pipelines, and compliance reporting — without ever touching client records that belong to you alone.
HAVEN is HIPAA-conscious by design. It handles grants, compliance, donors, and scheduling — and stays entirely away from protected health information.
Funder relationships, board governance, compliance calendars, and program documentation — so the staff can focus on the kids.
Grant research, compliance tracking, donor acknowledgment, and board documentation — all through conversation.
Grant research, membership tracking, event coordination, and content across social platforms — without adding software your team won't use.
HAVEN requires Claude — Anthropic's AI. A Pro or Teams subscription is the only cost. Everything else, including HAVEN itself, is free.
A Claude Pro ($20/mo) or Claude for Nonprofits Teams plan is required. This is the AI engine that powers everything. Anthropic offers a nonprofit discount program — HAVEN will walk you through applying during setup.
HAVEN itself costs nothing. Download it, set it up, and use it for as long as you want. No license fees, no subscriptions, no paywalls. Built by a nonprofit, for nonprofits.
Most tools HAVEN connects — HubSpot CRM, Zoho Books, Google Calendar — have free plans that are more than sufficient for a small nonprofit. HAVEN will recommend only what you actually need, based on your organization.
Download the HAVEN folder, follow three steps, and Claude maps your organization before building anything. First setup takes 1–3 hours. No technical knowledge required.

We're one sanctuary sharing what worked for us. Every nonprofit is different — we'd love to hear how HAVEN works (or doesn't) for yours. Your feedback makes it better for everyone.
And if HAVEN helps your organization, consider helping the 52 animals who inspired it.
HAVEN is provided free of charge, as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. It is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Anthropic. Claude is a product of Anthropic — a Claude Pro or Teams subscription ($20+/month) is required and is a separate cost not included with HAVEN. HAVEN is open to nonprofits of all types and sizes. Results will vary based on your organization's needs and configuration. We welcome feedback at info@softlandinganimalsanctuary.org.
