The nptech tag is by far the most popular tag being used in the nonprofit sector. It has grown so much over the 2 years. Another popular nonprofit related tag is net2, which is for NetSquared.
In addition to nptech and net2, there are other nonprofit related tags used.
The following tags I started using and others have began using as well:
- npblog
- npflickr
- npsl (nonprofit second life)
- npblogexchange
- nptag (nonprofit tagging)
- npyoutube
- npmashup
The tags below are used by a few people and suggested in the NPTagvocates Affinity Group:
- NPEnviro
- NPWorkDev
- NPSocialJustice
- NPol
- NPArts
- NPHealth
- NPYouth
- NPEdu
- NPDisasterRelief
- NPlegal
About a year ago, Jillaine began using tags. Her tags include the following:

Pam of Nonprofit Eye recently wrote about the tags she is using at TAG YOU'RE IT: NON-PROFIT TAG SYSTEMS . Listed below are some of the tags she uses:

Trends I am seeing:
- Tags are starting with either np, nonprofit, npo, or nonprofit_
- nptech is the most popular tag being used
- Common topics for tags include education, communications, legal, research, accounting
Since there are no rules for tagging, I suggest using whatever tags you want to organize your information. If you want your tags (or items being tagged) to be seen in the nonprofit sector, use nptech.
What other tags are being used across the nonprofit sector? Have I missed anything?

Hi Emily, the whole thing about tagging (in Del.icio.us) frustrates me because you can't use spaces. It reminds of the old computer operating systems (like DOS) that had 8 letter file name limitations. Of course it encourages elegance (a point mathematicians and programmers are especially appreciative). Still, if I were looking for tags on nonprofit fundraising it wouldn't intuitively occur to me to look under npfund, etc.
