Yes, any employer can apply for your GC. There is no restriction.

H1 & GC are two completely different issues. So having a H1 does not affect your GC processing one way or the other.

I am currently working at non-profit organization and had H1B. There is a private company willing to apply GC for me if i work for them. Does this company need to apply H1B for me or i can work for them while they filling my GC.

Thanks

Once again GC & H1 are two different things. The company can file GC for you on the basis that you will work for them once you get your GC. But if you want to work for them prior to getting your GC, you will need a EAD that allows for it or the company needs to file for a H1.

They could file for your I140 and I485 simultaneously. Along with I485 you get to apply for EAD. Mind you all this is feasible only depending on your nationality. What I mean is: You can file I485 only if your PD is current. So if you are from India or China that option does not work. Also, if it is not EB1, your employer has to go through the PERM process with DOL. That could take anywhere from a few months to an yr. So no good options for you directly.

However, if your spouse is on L1 visa, then you can switch to a L2 get an EAD and work.
If your spouse is on H1, has an approved I140, you can move to H4, get an EAD and work. None of these options is going to take less than 6 months at best.
