When we ask the Propublica API for an ntee_code, it returns things like D45, N14, and H56, which are not very interesting on their own. HOWEVER, those letters and numbers correspond to specific categories like O21: Boys Clubs, K: Food, Agriculture, and Nutrition, and D50: Zoo, Zoological Society. It would be much more useful and readable if we translated something like I44 to one cell "Crime, Legal Related" and another cell "Prison Alternatives."

I've attached a document published by the IRS that gives the key to all these codes, but maybe there's a structured dataset somewhere?

This is for you, dear open source contributor, to find out.
