The funds must either continue to be dedicated to the charitable purposes of the organization or, if it will not remain in operation, then disbursed to another not for profit. Review the Articles of Incorporation and the by-laws with an attorney as there should be a provision directing the board. Various handbooks from the IRS website may also be helpful.
