  public string Name;
  public List<OrgPost> OrgPostCollection= new List<OrgPost>();

You can do a nested select:

   var flatEnumerable = from o in OrgCollection
                        from p in o.OrgPostCollection
                        select new Tuple<Org, OrgPost>(o, p);

You can then project whatever you want in the select, I project a Tuple<Org, OrgPost>.

The result flatEnumerable is IEnumerable<Tuple<Org, OrgPost>>, you can then call ToList or ToArray to resolve the enumerable into a list or array:

List<Tuple<Org, OrgPost>> flatList = flatEnumerable.ToList();
Tuple<Org, OrgPost>[] flatArray = flatEnumerable.ToArray();
