Jeopardizing Investment
Section 4944 of the Code provides that a jeopardizing investment is an investment that shows a lack of reasonable business care and prudence in providing for the long- and short-term financial needs of the foundation for it to carry out its exempt function. The Code provides for an excise tax in the event this section is violated. Program-related investments (PRIs) are exempted from these rules.
