Thanks. Actually, I have accounts with 3 nonprofits in QBO now.  i don't want to experiment in their production files though.  It does look like projects are Jobs but without the sub customer. 

Sub-customers have their uses. I set up all the properties in our HOA installed QB  as customer/jobs then used a prime customer record if someone owned more than one property. Worked like a charm and easy to set up the sub customer as a primary if the property was sold to an individual owner.  Thanks again
