Fiscal Agent for a startup is one way of mentoring another organization.  Once the startup gets 501c3 or similar they might be able to stand on their own, with what they have learned about the process/ procedures/ accounting/ record keeping/ reporting/taxes/etc.

On Our Own of Maryland is an umbrella org for the state's consumer run drop in centers ( roughly like a franchise ),  one in most of the counties in Maryland.

New Jersey's are similar to Maryland's in that regard.

Virginia's drop in centers are each their own non profits.

Northern Virginia we researched Maryland and New Jersey's to develop five centers within five jurisdictions, Fairfax having three of the five, last I knew.

Some places do a for profit paired with a non profit...

IANAL (I Am Not A Lawyer), and don't play one on the net...

Foundation Center and other resources like SCORE, etc exist to learn more.

Hi all,

I'm looking for examples of two-in-one organizations....two (or more) named entities doing their respective business under one Tax ID....something like The Hub / Back Alley Bikes in Detroit, or Center for Appropriate Transport in Eugene. 

Also welcoming of any feedback on the idea or practice of having multiple named groups doing related but different work within one organization. 

Happy fall yall
