I organized and closed the books last year, but this is the first month in a new year as bookkeeper for the foundation. As the 5-year-old organization plans for the current year 2006, making its next 5-year projections, the management is discussion placing a hold on all distributions. Where can I find information on the required annual distribution for a 501(c)(3) which grants scholarships and tuition awards?

Pub. 578 was a little helpful until it starting referring to a "private foundation" and 5% versus 100% in fifth year - Thank you in advance I hope someone has an answer.
