Question: Can a Non Profit organization sue an individaul?

I am the treasurer for a non profit youth sport organization. This past year our Fundraising Coordinator lost $3000 of Fundraising Money. He didn’t have the money so we put him on a payment plan to pay it back but he is not paying as agreed. He signed a contract. Can we just take him to small claims court to get the money?

Thanks

Answer: For an amount of money over $1,000, go to an Attorney so that the suit will be filed in District Court and not small claims. The Attorney will then have more leverage to get the man to pay. Yes you certainly can sue him, you have a contract.

Question: red nose day Fundraising Ideas?

me and a friend really want to do something funny for money but we don’t know what to do.Any ideas?
i know there are some ideas on the website but we want something different.

p.s if you don’t know red nose day is made by comic relief and is when everyone raises money for this one day to make life better for kids. and there little symbol is a red nose everyone wears whle they are fundraising!

Answer: Since it is “Red Nose Day” and the world’s funniest Red Nose was W. C. Fields, then what better than checking out a short movie from the library starring W.C. Fields and doing one of the comedy routines included.
He did many movies right after talkies gat started and he also was known as a buffoon and a drunk; hence the “red nose”.
You can get others to do other routines and have a W.C. Fields Comedy Contest. Sell tickets and award a part of the proceeds to the winner.
There are enough movies and routines so that you can have many participants and raise lots of money for your cause.
