Correction will be accomplished by undoing the transaction that constituted the act of self-dealing, to the extent possible, but in no case placing the foundation in a worse financial position than that in which it would have been had the disqualified person acted under the highest fiduciary standards. For example, when a disqualified person sells property to a private foundation for cash, correction may be accomplished by recasting the transaction in the form of a gift by returning the cash to the foundation. The following articles give examples of minimum standards of correction in the case of certain specific acts of self-dealing. Use similar principles and apply them to other acts of self-dealing. Any correction under these standards is not an act of self-dealing. Sales by a foundation Sales to a foundation Use of property by a disqualified person Use of property by a private foundation Excessive compensation Valuation errors Return to Life Cycle of a Private Foundation
