Ive heard of it before, some sponsor whole families (even non family), I just dont know under what Visa it is or its logistics. One way visas help is if someone sponsor a family member but not have enough income, the Church or organization can Co-Sponsor and help make the requirement. Sounds like its preferable to have a lawyer.

An institution cannot be a joint sponsor for a family based visa, only for employment visas. It would have to be an individual within that organisation. I haven't heard of anyone doing this.

Yeah hes right, no for family visas.

from visapro -

Can a religious group, non-governmental organization, venture capitalist or bail bondsman sponsor an immigrant as a joint sponsor?

No, only a natural person can be a sponsor. Religious and other groups usually sponsor refugees who are not required to have Affidavits of Support.
