Organization Classification

The IRS classifies organizations according to the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) system. The NTEE system helps the IRS assign a 3-character code to each organization to describe the organization's activities.

The Community Safety Network's NTEE code is F99. The "F" tells us that the organization is classified along with Mental Health & Crisis Intervention organizations. The "99" tells us that the organization is a Mental Health & Crisis Intervention N.E.C. The NTEE describes Mental Health & Crisis Intervention N.E.C. as organizations that provide mental health services where the major purpose is unclear enough that a more specific code cannot be accurately assigned.

Every organization is also governed by a specific section of the Internal Revenue Code. The most common type is a 501(c)(3) organization. However, there are actually 29 different types of organizations that are identified by the Internal Revenue Code. This organization happens to be a 501(c)(3) organization. The IRS describes these organizations as those engaged in Religious, Educational, Charitable, Scientific, Literary, Public Safety, Amateur Sports, or Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals work.

Perhaps the most accurate way to get a sense of what the organization hopes to achieve is by looking at its mission. The mission of the Community Safety Network is to provide victim assistance, advocacy services, and a safe house; to promote public awareness of problems regarding family violence and sexual abuse; and to provide counseling and temporary shelter to victims of abuse.
