ADVANTAGES OF CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY FOR NONPROFITS

Unlike businesses, nonprofit organizations do not have shareholders. This means that nonprofits are not subject to the absolute priority rule, which makes it harder to discharge debts.

For example, our firm represented a church that was in danger of losing its place of worship. The building and property were valued at $2.5 million, and the church was unable to keep up payments. By filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the church was able to bring down the value of its property to the current market value of $1 million. It was also able to pay its arrearages over a five-year period without interest or penalties. As a result, the church was able to maintain ownership of its property.

Because the rules of discharging unsecured and secured debts in Chapter 11 bankruptcy are complex, it’s important to consult an experienced lawyer before you file bankruptcy.
