Re: Suing a Non-profit Organization

Suit against a non-profit is no different that suit against a for-profit organization. Just because a company may be qualified as a non-profit does not mean it is insulated against judgment or enjoys any other protection against enforcement of debt it may owe.

You file a regular lawsuit in superior court.

Re: Suing a Non-profit Organization

There is nothing unique about a nonprofit that would prevent you from suing them just like any other business entity. Due to the amount involved, you will have to sue in Superior Court, and that is generally beyond the abilities of most non-attorneys to pursue. I'd suggest contacting and retaining an attorney to handle the matter for you.
