Classification (NAICS / SIC)[edit]
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[edit]
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).
