GrantsDirect.com's grant recipient coding system is based on the classification system developed by the National Center for Charitable Statistics, the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE). Using the NTEE coding system as a starting point, each grant in the GrantsDirect.com database has been assigned a code that indicates the type of organization it is or the purpose of the grant. In some instances, we shorten the code because of its length. Following is an alphabetical list of the 26 major categories and the 600+ subcategories used by GrantsDirect.com's research staff, cross-referenced with the NTEE code. Print this list out and keep it handy when searching the "Organization Type" field. If we have shortened the search term for the major category, it appears in parentheses following the heading. Please note that not all subcategories currently are represented in the GrantsDirect.com database. For complete category names and detailed information on the NTEE coding system, please visit the National Center for Charitable Statistics site at http://nccs.urban.org.
