Handling the Non-Profit Workout/Bankruptcy

By Paul J. Ricotta and Leonard Weiser-Varon

Last month, we discussed how to handle the non-profit workout/bankruptcy with an analysis of one of the largest not-for-profit bankruptcy cases even filed — In re: the National Benevolent Association of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) et al., (Bankr. W.D. Texas), Case No. 04-50948 (RBK). As we explained, the National Benevolent Association of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) (NBA) was founded in 1887 as a Missouri-based nonprofit corporation. Its mission was to provide services to disadvantaged families and others. Prior to bankruptcy, the NBA was the parent company of approximately 25 affiliated nonprofit entities that owned and operated 11 senior care facilities, four children's care centers, and three special care facilities in 12 states, among other things. We presented a great deal of analytical background on the nonprofit corporation and its path toward bankruptcy. This month, we discuss the bankruptcy case itself.
