Using the NCCS NTEE & NPC Search Tool

NTEE stands for the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities, our classification system for categorizing the activities and purposes of nonprofit organizations.

NPC is the Nonprofit Program Classification system used for categorizing the programs of the organizations.

This utility is designed for quickness and ease of use.

• Type in a a code ("A01") and get the details.
• Type in a partial code, say 'P', 'P3' or 'A2', to get a listing of all codes that begin with 'P', 'P3' or 'A2'.
