Looking for new (and big) budgets to tap?

Attention all you social entrepreneurs out there: there’s a little-known business structure that can help you get funded by foundations for your good works. In the past, you had to be a non-profit to access this capital. No more, thanks to L3C structures available in Delaware (but you can headquarter your business anywhere.)

Bottom line:  Now is the time to think outside the box on where the money is for your business. Chaotic times create great opportunities when you question your assumptions.
