FWIW, it isn't uncommon for 501(c)3 organizations to have a for-profit
organization operating "at an arm's length". Microsoft-esque only if you
think that a 501(c)(3) organization should pay corporate income tax on
all the revenue it generates.

Depending upon how much revenue is generated from sources other than
grants and donations, for the US at least, serious consideration needs
to be given to establishing a for-profit that operates at an arm's length.
