Dissolving a Nonprofit Organization

 

Understand what is involved in dissolving a nonprofit organization.

The decision to dissolve a nonprofit organization may be made for several reasons. An organization may choose to voluntarily dissolve because it has fulfilled its mission or is no longer able to raise sufficient funds to carry out its programs and activities. The organization may be merging with another organization that is better equipped to fulfill its mission and will dissolve as part of the merger process. A nonprofit organization may also be subject to an involuntary dissolution initiated by the state attorney general following an investigation into wrongdoing by the organization. Dissolving a nonprofit organization is a long and sometimes difficult and emotional process, but there are steps that can be taken to ensure that the process of winding down a nonprofit is as smooth as possible. This white paper will cover the role of the board of directors and key staff, a breakdown of the dissolution process, and key legal and compliance considerations at each step in the process.
