Identifiers are usually assigned by an external body like a regulator.
Findthatcharity uses the Org ID scheme to create identifiers.

Description
the advancement of arts, heritage and culture. the advancement of education. the advancement of religious or racial harmony. the advancement of citizenship and/or community development. and the promotion of equality and diversity. the foregoing charitable purposes being particularly furthered through the provision, organisation, promotion, facilitation and encouragement of a cultural organisation that has at the centre of its activities and ethos a festival, 'The Edinburgh Mela'. As the central objective is the delivery of a successful mela, it is recognised that the manner in which the charitable purposes will be furthered will reflect the South East Asian origins of melas. Notwithstanding the cultural roots of The Edinburgh Mela and melas generally, in furthering the charitable purposes there will be an emphasis on maintaining and increasing the quality of performances as well as embracing other ethnic minority groups, communities and cultures. In furthering the purposes, while the festival is the central activity , the Company may undertake developmental and other activities outwith the festival that further encourage participation (at all levels as appropriate) in arts and culture as well as engagement with cultural diversity issues.
