for-profit temporary association
It seems very important to say "for profit" because some of the members (foundations, co-operatives) are probably normally non-profit associations.

"non-profit organisations" I should have said.

The term asked for is this Paul: "Associazione temporanea a scopo di lucro", which explicitly states "for-profit". Although on investigation I think it may be a careless mistake of the asker "a scopo" rather than "a scopo di lucro". However foundations and co-ops are not companies and if we are looking for a generic term, then "organisation" as in non-profit org and NGO is the one generally used.

The actual term Googles nothing:

Having Googled it
An ATS (no lucro) Googles associations of educational and welfard organisations:

If we then throw "lucro" into the search string, we see that many of these associations are in fact "senza scopo di lucro".

I think our asker has sent us on a wild goose chase.

: any refs? rather, if they are NON-PROFIT they should state so./i haven't got a clue what you're talking about. what's a non-profit org got to do with it? apart from proving my point, that is? :-)/your refs are all preceded by a "not".

It gets four million hits: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=desk..."for-profit+organization". And just where is the "not" in this: "A for-profit organization exists primarily to generate a profit" ? :)))
