About
This is a brief introduction to Tri Local Returns which is a project of Wisconsin Partners for SustainAbility. The context of posting this file here is that I mention Tri Local Returns in the discussion/proposal under the discussions box. I am suggesting that this Solar organizational effort could become effective in the context of a non-profit that partners with Tri Local Returns. See discussion.
Feel free to contact me with questions or post them here.

Hi again, Chuck. Why a non-profit structure for the solar "arm" of Tri-Local Returns? How do you propose to take advantage of the tax incentives? |

Kurt,
The non profit allows you to work patiently on a number of solar developments with a variety of stakeholders in a non-competive collaborative fashion and when it comes time to invest in a project the members could direct their investments via tri local returns and add to a pool of money that addresses other investments so you have both short term returns mixed in with the longer returns of solar, otherwise you are going to run out of investment capital pretty quick as the number of investors willing to operate in an investment structure that has no payback for 10-15 years is well a small pool of people.
You asked about tax advantages, the investing end of things happens through a LLC. I will upload a model of the organizational structure.
Chuck
