# Adding a Household/Organisation

Households/Organisations help sort people into collections based on their living arrangements or affiliations. It is important to note that Households/Organisations are not the same as **Groups**.

1. Click + on the Dashboard and select **Add Person or Organisation**.
2. When adding a household or organisation you may or may not have a known contact. If you do have a known contact then continue with the steps below. If you do not have a known contact then simply click **This is an organisation - the contact is unknown**. No firstname and lastname will be required to be entered and you will notice that the image icon will be changed to an organisation icon. NOTE: You can [convert the organisation to a person contact or the person to an organisation](https://help.infoodle.com/help/people/converting-organisation-person-contact) at a later stage if you need to.
3. Fill in all the contact details for the person, household or organisation.
4. Click the + button next to the Persons or organisation name to add another person at the same organisation

3. Click **Save**.
4. To add another member to the same household at a later date - under the **Household Details** section or **People in this Organisation** section click **Add New Member**.
