National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) Code Categories

NTEE Version 2.0 Code Structure

The NTEE code conventions below reflect the new format: NTEE Version 2.0 (NTEEV2). The codes are structured in three parts:

Level 1: Industry Group
Level 2-4: Major Group, Division and Subdivision
Level 5: Organization Type

This 3-part “tidy” format adds the higher-level industry code for interpretability and makes the organizational type an explicit level.

Levels 2-4 are identical to the original NTEE code structure EXCEPT that the “common code” types represented by x01, x02, x03, x05, x11, x12, and x19 have been converted to distinct organizational codes (see Level 5 Organization Type Codes below). The common code digits have been replaced with x00 for all specialized organizations that operate at the Major Group level. If a specialized organization operates within a Division or Subdivision they have been assigned the appropriate 2-digit codes. See the documentation for more details.

Example

Old:   B29            (charter school)
New:   EDU-B29-RG     (RG = "regular" or non-specialized nonprofit)

Old:   B01            (advocacy broadly for the education sector)
New:   EDU-B00-AA     (AA = advocacy organization) 

Old:   B0129          (advocacy specifically for charter schools)
New:   EDU-B29-AA
