Your GC priority date should be 2017.

The PD has nothing to do with your H1. The process for the GC doesn't care about non-profit vs. for-profit organizations.

The new employer has to start the GC process from scratch, but if you have an approved I-140 for 6 months from the previous employer you can reuse th PD.
