A non-profit - or even a for-profit - cannot embezzle money. Only an employee, officer or director within their corporation can embezzle funds.

The questioner may be wondering what occurs if a non-profit misuses or misallocates money. In such a case, an investigation is conducted to determine whether funds solicited and collected have been spent in such a fashion as to be violative of the organization's by laws and stated goals, or gone against any promise or committment they made to a donor or donors.

An example would be a non-profit raising funds to help hurricane victims, then using the money to give all their directors and officers a "bonus" - without giving any to the victims of the hurricane. That would be fraud. It would also involve other violations of fiduciary responsibility, such as possibly violating conflict of interest policies, or in other cases, self-dealing.

If one believes that a non-profit is misallocating funds, then typically an office of the State's Attorney examines such complaints. Such non-profits must be registered in the State of their incorporation, and in such states as they operate in. Reporting to them would be good, so that they can make sure you aren't being victimized.
