Nonprofit, Public and Professional Organizations

It is not possible to sell a nonprofit business. By its nature, a nonprofit business is a charitable endeavor, managed by a board of supposedly disinterested citizens for the betterment of the community. A nonprofit business is not owned by any one individual or group of individuals. The IRS prohibits any board member or employee from receiving "profits" from a nonprofit organization. There are stiff penalties for doing so. That said, you can close down your nonprofit organization or consider transferring it to another Nonprofit.
