Two new queries are now available in the Taxonomy API: GeoSearch and GeoChildren. These queries return codes from the GeoNames taxonomy that can be used to identify geographic information.

The Taxonomy GraphQL API now includes a crosswalk from NTEE code to Candid's Philanthropy Classification System (PCS) codes. For systems currently utilizing NTEE codes, this makes it easy to find the equivalent PCS code. Both taxonomies classify the cause area of an organization, but the PCS taxonomy is periodically updated to capture emerging work in the philanthropic sector and provides a detailed hierarchy of categorization with up to four levels of granularity.

The demographics_status message field in the Demographics and Premier APIs has been updated to provide additional guidance. If an organization has not shared demographic information with Candid, the message will read "This organization has not provided Candid demographics data. Please encourage the nonprofit to complete their Candid profile by visiting https://www.guidestar.org/UpdateNonprofitProfile."
