| Feb 13, 2012 at 2:59 | comment | added | Hacham Gabriel | I once asked a Posek if an organization has to return money that was extra for that specific project they were trying to fund, and he said they must return the extra funds. | |
| Feb 12, 2012 at 20:16 | comment | added | msh210♦ | I've recently heard of a non-profit that is thinking of dissolving because of debt it owes, and reopening with a similar board and the same purpose but as a new legal entity under a new name and bylaws. I suppose your question can be extended to "would I need to redirect the money to the new organization?". | |

| Feb 12, 2012 at 3:10 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | Speculation: if the organization had bylaws specifying what happens to their assets on dissolution (as I suspect most do if they have a board and a bank account), perhaps he owes his pledge to the designated recipient? | |

| Feb 12, 2012 at 1:04 | comment | added | Gershon Gold | Maybe it is necessary to do Hataras Nedarim, maybe he has to pay to a similar charity, maybe he has to do nothing. | |
| Feb 12, 2012 at 1:00 | comment | added | Hacham Gabriel | Can't remember the source, but he doesn't pay to the other Sedaka. | |
| Feb 12, 2012 at 0:59 | comment | added | Hacham Gabriel | Just wondering, why doesn't he just do Hatarat Nedarim to take himself out of any Safek? | |
