nccsdata Part 2: NTEE Codes



Introduction

In part 2 of this 4-part series on the nccsdata package, we explore and query National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) codes using the ntee_preview() and parse_ntee() functions.

NTEE Code Structure

The NTEEV2 code system is an evolution of the original NTEE code system, a classification system used by the IRS and NCCS for nonprofit organizations. For all of the NTEE codes, refer to this comprehensive overview.

This new NTEE system can be organized into 5 levels.

The NTEEV2 codes are structured in three parts:

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

These parts are separated by a hyphen, and all NTEEV2 codes must contain all three parts (or five levels) in sequence.

Level 1: Industry Groups

The Industry Group is represented by three letters. The 10 options are:

Industry Group Description
ART Arts, Culture & Humanities
EDU Education
ENV Environment and Animals
HEL Health
HMS Human Services
IFA International, Foreign Affairs
PSB Public, Societal Benefit
REL Religion Related
MMB Mutual/Membership Benefit
UNU Unknown, Unclassified
UNI University
HOS Hospital

Each group represents a broad category that the entire spectrum of nonprofits can be comprehensively sorted into.

Level 2: Major Group

The Major Group is represented as one letter. The 26 options are:

Major Group Label Description
A Arts, Culture & Humanities
B Education
C Environment
D Animal-Related
E Health Care
F Mental Health & Crisis Intervention
G Voluntary Health Associations & Medical Disciplines
H Medical Research
I Crime & Legal-Related
J Employment
K Food, Agriculture & Nutrition
L Housing & Shelter
M Public Safety, Disaster Preparedness & Relief
N Recreation & Sports
O Youth Development
P Human Services
Q International, Foreign Affairs & National Security
R Civil Rights, Social Action & Advocacy
S Community Improvement & Capacity Building
T Philanthropy, Voluntarism & Grantmaking Foundations
U Science & Technology
V Social Science
W Public & Societal Benefit
X Religion-Related
Y Mutual & Membership Benefit
Z Unknown

These offer a more detailed subclassification that builds on the Industry Group classification framework.

Level 3 and 4: Division and Subdivision

Levels 3 and 4 consist of alphanumeric values that reference additional subclassifications corresponding to the Industry Group—Major Group combinations above. There are too many for a simple table and will be explored with ntee_preview() in the upcoming sections.

Level 5: Organization Type

Level 5 references the type of organization represented by two letters. The options are:

Organization Type Description
RG Regular Nonprofit
AA Alliance/Advocacy Organizations
MT Management and Technical Assistance
PA Professional Societies/Associations
RP Research Institutes and/or Public Policy Analysis
MS Monetary Support - Single Organization
MM Monetary Support - Multiple Organizations
NS Nonmonetary Support Not Elsewhere Classified (N.E.C.)

In the above code snippet, ntee_preview() prints out the descriptions of all NTEE codes belonging to the “UNI” (University) Industry Group. The function outputs are nested in the following order:

  • Industry Group (Level 1)
    • Organization Type (Level 5)
      • Major Group, Division and Subdivision (Levels 2-4)

ntee takes arguments belonging to any of the 3 parts or 5 levels above and returns all matching NTEE codes. For example, the below code snippet returns all NTEE codes belonging to either the University Industry Group (UNI) or A25 Level 2-4 classification.

ntee_preview() automatically structures the output to avoid repeating Industry Groups or Organization Types.

For Major Group, Division and Subdivision (Level 2-4), ntee_preview() accepts placeholder arguments denoted by the letter x (case insensitive). For example, ntee = B2x will provide a preview for all NTEE codes with a B at Level 2 and 2 at Level 3. This allows the user to narrow their search to specific levels. Examples are provided below:

For any combination of ntee arguments, preview_ntee returns all codes that match any of the specified arguments. Thus, in the above example NTEE codes for both UNI and CXX were displayed.

Returning to get_data()

The same set of ntee arguments used by preview_ntee() are also used by get_data(). The code snippet below downloads core data from the year 2015 for all non-profits that file both full 990s and 990EZs, filtering for nonprofits belonging to the Education Industry Group.

Retrieve Complete NTEEV2 Codes

ntee_preview() also offers an invisible return feature, allowing users to save the complete set of NTEEV2 codes being previewed in a character vector. This can be achieved by assigning the output of ntee_preview() to a variable name.

Alternative Methods to Retrieve Complete NTEEV2 Codes

A second function, parse_ntee(), can also be used to extract complete NTEE codes.

parse_ntee() only accepts the following arguments:

  • ntee.group: Industry Group (Level 1)
  • ntee.code: Major Group, Division and Subdivision (Level 2 - 4)
  • ntee.orgtype: Organization Type (Level 5)

Use all to include all levels for that specific argument. For example, to retrieve complete NTEE codes for Universities, use:

parse_ntee( ntee.group   = c("UNI"),
            ntee.code    = "all",
            ntee.orgtype = "all" )
#> Collecting Matching Industry Groups
#> Collecting Matching Industry Division and Subdivisions
#> Collecting Matching Organization Types
#> [1] "UNI-B40-RG" "UNI-B41-RG" "UNI-B42-RG" "UNI-B43-RG" "UNI-B50-RG"

Similar to ntee_preview(), parse_ntee() accepts placeholder arguments.

parse_ntee( ntee.group   = "all",
            ntee.code    = "A2x",
            ntee.orgtype = "all"  )
#> Collecting Matching Industry Groups
#> Collecting Matching Industry Division and Subdivisions
#> Collecting Matching Organization Types
#>  [1] "ART-A26-MT" "ART-A20-PA" "ART-A25-PA" "ART-A20-MS" "ART-A26-MM"
#>  [6] "ART-A20-NS" "ART-A20-RG" "ART-A23-RG" "ART-A24-RG" "ART-A25-RG"
#> [11] "ART-A26-RG" "ART-A27-RG"

However, parse_ntee() differs from ntee_preview() in that it only returns NTEE codes that meet all filters.

parse_ntee( ntee.group   = "HEL",
            ntee.code    = "A2x",
            ntee.orgtype = "all"  )
#> Collecting Matching Industry Groups
#> Collecting Matching Industry Division and Subdivisions
#> Collecting Matching Organization Types
#> character(0)

Since there are no NTEE codes with structure HEL-A2X-XXX, parse_ntee() does not return any results. Including “ART” in ntee.group, as shown below, returns valid codes since there are NTEE codes with the ART-A2X-XXX structure:

parse_ntee( ntee.group   = c("HEL","ART"),
            ntee.code    = "A2x",
            ntee.orgtype = "all"   )
#> Collecting Matching Industry Groups
#> Collecting Matching Industry Division and Subdivisions

#> [11] "ART-A26-RG" "ART-A27-RG"

Therefore, parse_ntee can be used to identify specific codes, which can then be fed into get_data to filter downloaded data by specific codes, as shown below:

ART_A2X_codes <- 
  parse_ntee( ntee.group = c("HEL","ART"),
              ntee.code = "A2x",
              ntee.orgtype = "all" )

            scope.orgtype = "NONPROFIT",
            scope.formtype = "PZ",
            ntee = ART_A2X_codes )

Conclusion

Understanding NTEE codes is crucial for constructing datasets that target specific nonprofits. When leveraged correctly, the NTEE taxonomy is a useful and powerful framework for structuring research projects involving NCCS data.
