单身老猫,求助。好心办的非盈利机构被别人偷偷更换到她名下,银行帐号钱被取空!!!

单身老猫,再次先感激了。

Last December, me and 5 other parents started a non-profit to help the kids in STEM. That time, as the main donor, I was listed as President, and H was vice president, and M was Treasurer. M submitted the paperwork because she said she knew how to do it fast and right. The nonprofit was listed under my home address. M asked me if I wanted to be the contact, I said since the company I worked for has Donation Match Dollar program and I felt it was not right that I was the one who requested money and also I was the person who verify this non-profit, so M was listed as contact just for this purpose.

After the establishment, M convinced me twice to change the titles, once I was vice president, she was president, H was treasurer. Then M was president, H was vice president and I was the treasurer. The fact is no matter what role we had, H and I never got a chance to perform - M did not share bylaws, did not share with us any financial statement. After 3 or 4 months,  we all were suspicious of the accounting. With H and coaches' permission, I went to the bank and freezed the account.

Then I had a family emergency and I had to leave for China. Before I left, I told them why I couldn't attend the next board meeting. And after I came back from China, H and Coach emailed me that M wanted to leave - taking the nonprofit and half of the cash in account. I felt it was not right. So I wrote to her that this nonprofit is not anybody's personal property and nobody should ever claim as personal belonging.

M got very mad and said I was no more board member because I was absent from the board meeting. I asked her, based on bylaw, the process of removal should have at least 2 votes, obviously, H never voted me out. How could M herself to vote me out?

Then I found out that M changed the Nonprofit address/contact all to herself without anybody awareness. I went to bank, found that she took the rest cash, plus the 680 I cashed for kids' parts. She made bank Paid the 680 to her and closed the account by chargeoff.

Now my questions are:

1. Does she have a right to change the company title/address/contact without anybody knowing?

2. She took worth 2000 cash value non-profit stuff, can we ask to return even now Paperly the nonprofit is hers?

3. She made the bank charged off the 680, what impact to me personally? Will bank chase me? Bank told me as long as I can prove that I am authorized by another board member that I can handle the money, then they will take action.

4. Does this case worth to fight?

thank you.

好心变成这样,唉。
