NTEE code list, National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities codes

What is NTEE?

NTEE stands for National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) code developed by National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS). An NTEE code is a three-character series of letters and numbers that generally summarize an organization’s purpose. The complete list of NTEE codes for use on the IRS form 1023 are further down on this page but let’s examine why they are need and how they work.

In case of applying for tax exemption using the form 1023, you need to select an NTEE code that best describes your organization from the list of NTEE codes on this page.

NTEE codes, sometimes called the IRS Activity Codes, are also used for purposes other than identification of exempt organizations described in section 501(c)(3). Therefore, all codes in the list do not necessarily describe a 501(c)(3) purpose.

Selecting the appropriate NTEE code is important as some donors and grant making foundations use the codes to identify potential recipients of grants.

The NTEE purpose and vision has been to:

facilitates the collection, tabulation, presentation, and analysis of data by the types of organizations and their activities
promotes uniformity and comparability in the presentation of statistical and other data collected by various public and private agencies
provides better quality information as the basis for public policy debate and decision-making for the nonprofit sector and for society at large

For more information regarding the history and other usage of the NTEE codes please visit the National Center for Charitable Statistics.

NTEE codes are broken down by groups alphabetically, here’s a little NTEE cheat list to help you find a relevant code. There’s no good way of me giving you any kind of meaningful search function to sort through this table, however you can use CTRL + F (Command + F on Mac) on your keyboard to search for the NTEE code.

For example, if your organization is a church, press CTRL + F and type in Church and it will highlight all the NTEE codes that have the word church in them.

More Than Conquerors-Africa

I’m a pretty good writer and I have lots of nonprofit management experience. But I have never created a nonprofit from scratch. Until I got into the 1023, I had no idea how many questions there might be that, if answered wrong, might delay approval or cause questions. I found Chris’s site before filing our Articles of Incorporation. THANK GOODNESS–I wouldn’t have included necessary language. I then used his online advice to revise our Bylaws and other important Board policies. One of the most important pieces was the bit about presenting IRS rulings to support why our organization should be considered tax exempt. With all that and more, I still didn’t feel completely confident about submitting the form. My Board decided we should pay for a consult and that was the best decision we made. Once I sent Chris the application and supplements, he was very responsive. With a phone call he walked me through things that should be changed, removed, added, or presented a different way. He did the same with my next version and then it was ready to submit. We received our Letter of Determination only ONE WEEK after submitting (though we didn’t receive notice for another month). It was a ton of work to prepare, but I’m so glad the work was on the front end. A big thank you to Chris!!
