  • What types of distributions qualify (or not) toward meeting the payout requirement
  • The penalties and taxes that can apply if the rules are not followed
  • Internal procedures that can help a private foundation stay in compliance
  • How these rules intersect with the myriad other provisions affecting private foundations
