NTEE Codes: A Guide to Understanding Nonprofit Classification

Category: Technology

NTEE codes are three-digit codes that are used to classify nonprofit organizations. They are assigned by the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS) and are used by the IRS, the Foundation Center, and other organizations to categorize and track nonprofit activity. There are over 600 NTEE codes, which are grouped into 26 major categories. NTEE codes can be used to find nonprofits that share similar interests or activities. They can also be used to track the financial and operational performance of nonprofits.
