Classifications: Non-profit & NAICS/SIC + NTEE

Non-Profit Registration & Classification

Noisebridge is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational membership organization, incorporated in the state of California. Scans of our complete 501(c)(3) application are available for download. Our bylaws are also freely accessible to all.

EIN

Noisebridge's EIN (wp:FEIN / Tax ID=TID) is 26-3507741. (chunked for memory: 26 - 350 7741)

Classification (NAICS / SIC)

When interfacing with other organizations, we're often asked about our non-profit status and industry or type of non profit.

Based on MakerNexus's analysis and other consultation of NAICS (North American Industry Classification System), Noisebridge is likely best characterized with:

• NAICS 611699 - All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction: This broad category can include various educational activities that Noisebridge provides outside of traditional computer training, and SIC 8299 (Schools and Educational Services, NEC).

As a potential alternative, NAICS Code 611610 - Fine Arts Schools code could be considered if Noisebridge offered classes focused on digital art, electronic art, and other forms of artistic expression.

NTEE

It could be worth modelling ourselves after:

• HackerDojo's NTEE classification, B90, though B99 looks more broad or appropriate, or after
• Dallas Makerspace's, Category: Science and Technology Research Institutes, Services / Computer Science (NTEE).
• ICANN notes on NTEE
