The '''National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE)''' classification system is used by the IRS and NCCS to categorize nonprofit organizations. Most such organizations are 501(c)(3)'s, as Wikimedia DC is, but perhaps not all of them. This is a list of examples to compare to, and to get a sense of the formal/organizational "industry" we're part of.

The National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) classification system is used by the IRS and NCCS to categorize nonprofit organizations. Most such organizations are 501(c)(3)'s, as Wikimedia DC is, but perhaps not all of them. This is a list of examples to compare to, and to get a sense of the formal/organizational "industry" we're part of.

Opportunities for improvement

The category system is forcing "information" into "education", simply because there is no "public information" category for libraries

  • SGE's category should be more clearly "professional association"
  • WMF and IA and OSM should be more clearly classified as something like "Information: public sources"; as it is, the WMF and IA are forced into "education", and OSM's in "community development", as if they were structurally pushing or guiding institutions, not open public resources
