Code for America is a nonprofit organization in the civic tech space, based in Oakland, California. It brings together technologists, advocates, and storytellers from diverse backgrounds to help government serve everyone by blending technology with nonprofit and government work. The organization emphasizes that thoughtful use of technology can transform government and that including communities in policy and service design yields real solutions to remove barriers. Its work targets government agencies at multiple levels and public benefits programs, aiming to improve benefits administration and service delivery for communities. A recent development involves a partnership with Anthropic to develop AI-powered tools to assist caseworkers with navigating policy questions, reviewing eligibility documents, and communicating with benefit recipients. This collaboration reflects Code for America's focus on applying insights from real users to make government more effective.
