A historian of charities and a lawyer revive interest in charity organizations that combine national and grassroots perspectives in a federated structure.
It's good to see that the researchers at the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard University (EIN 04-2103580 Form 990) are showing renewed interest in the structure and governance of the largest charity organizations. Most of the largest charities and nearly all fraternal organizations and labor unions employ a structure than involves both local chapters and a national body. However, these structures have been largely ignored by academic researchers, despite their prevalence.
Professors Peter Dobkin Hall (Inventing the Nonprofit Sector)
About a year ago, I reported on some findings of a study of federated organizations back in 1999 that resulted from a survey of organization structure and governance, including a review of the by-laws of the organizations. Some thirty-five organizations are mentioned in the report, many well-known charites, but others not so well known (I list them at the end). One issue that emerged from this earlier study is difficulty in distinguishing between truly federated charities, like American Cancer Society, from trade associations, like the American Association of Homes and Services for Aging. We can hope that this new study will find a way to distinguish the two very different forms of association, although the legal structures are so varied that it may be difficult to do just by an analysis of the formal structures.
These federated organizations play a central role in the charity industry and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. I believe that some form of federated structure for the vast majority of local charities is the best way to balance between the advantages of grassroots support and the necessity for internal controls and accountability. The shift of focus to federated organizations represents a new chapter—literally—in the academic study of nonprofit organizations.
Here are the thirty-five federated organizations mentioned in the 1999 article by Candace Widmer and Susan Houchin:
Dennis Young did a study of federated charities a little earlier than Widmer and Houchin, publishing around 3 articles with coauthors.

Tierney says that larger scale organizations would have access to other resources, which I suspect means that they pay for consulting services from Bain at the going rate. Bridgespan's Form 990 reports that the company operates with consultants borrowed from Bain & Company, which continues to pay their salaries while on loan.

It is true that one issue that emerged from this earlier study is difficulty in distinguishing between truly federated charities. It is because of so many of them.

東京都で処理を受け入れた岩手県宮古市の東日本大震災の災害廃棄物（がれき）第１便約３０トンが３日、貨物列車でＪＲ東京貨物ターミナル駅（品川区）に到着し、７トン積みコンテナ計６個が都内３カ所の中間処理施設に運び込まれた。震災のがれきが東北以外で受け入れられたのは初めて。
２日夜に盛岡市を出たコンテナは３日午前、相次いで東京貨物ターミナル駅に到着。フォークリフトでトラックに積み替えられ、各地の処理施設に向かった。このうちコンテナ１個が搬入された大田区の処理施設では、重機や手作業で金属などの不燃物が分けられ、可燃物は燃やしやすいように破砕された。がれきには、木材や木くずに加え、布団やネクタイ、ぬいぐるみなど、津波で流されたとみられるさまざまな生活の品が泥にまみれて交ざっていた。

ティンバーランド１２日に判明した政府の社会保障分野の一体改革素案（骨子案）は、来年の法案提出を検討してきた受診時定額負担制度の見送りを容認するなど、負担増を先送りしようとする民主党の主張に大幅に譲歩する内容となった。公務員の特権に切り込むことが期待された被用者年金一元化でも、公務員の優遇措置の存続に道を開く文言が盛り込まれた。「公平な負担」を旗印とした社会保障改革の看板は大きくゆがみつつある。
ティンバーランド骨子案は、病院を訪れるたびに患者が１００円を上乗せして支払う受診時定額負担制度について「（導入見送りを掲げた）民主党ワーキングチームの報告を踏まえる」と記した。７０～７４歳の窓口負担の２割への引き上げでは「平成２４年度の対応については調整」と、その後の引き上げに含みを残したが、党側の猛反発で撤回に追いやられるのは確実な情勢だ。
