Why two name forms exist

The IRS Business Master File still reflects the pre-incorporation name (HopeScan Initiative) because the EIN application predated Maryland incorporation. The post-incorporation legal name is HopeScan Initiative, Inc. and is the form used on our incorporation certificate, bylaws, contracts, and this website. Both forms refer to the same organization and the same EIN.
