We want to form a nonprofit organization either under our current company or separate from it. However, the nonprofit would require the services of our for-profit in order to accomplish its mission. We are in Georgia where L3Cs aren't legal entities yet, and we aren't sure that L3C would be the way we want to do this anyway. Based on how we want to do this, are there any other articles or resources we can be directed to in order to assist us in accomplishing this? I do intend to check out the links to resources in this article as well. Great article by the way, and it's very informative. Thanks.

Our Public Innovators initiative helps government leaders create a more supportive environment for innovation and entrepreneurship in social problem solving and we recently published a recommendations piece with the Aspen Institute which explores the l3c as one strategy (http://www.publicinnovators.com/recommendations/13recommendations#exploretax). A recent meeting sponsored by Fourth Sector and others further examined this question of hybrid organizations. Someone in the group presented an idea about a strategy for creating a wave of new organizational forms without having to change the laws, which you and your readers might be interested in. You can find his idea outlined on our blog http://www.publicinnovators.com/blog Glad to see you writing about this topic of organizational forms/legal structure and thanks for your many informative blog entries.
