My teeny nonprofit has been enjoying tax deductible status by having another nonprofit as our statutory agent. Donations are made to the parent nonprofit, and passed through to the child nonprofit.

Subject: [TheThinkTank] 501-c-3 "adoption"
Word of mouth is a budding non-profit (our bike coop) can become a 501-c-3 by "adoption" by another established 501-c-3.
Has anybody done this, can anyone give me the logistics or point me in the right direction? Thanks!
