- How to apply
Private foundation
HOUSTON, TXEIN
The funder's latest Form 990-PF says it accepts applications. Read the instructions below before you write.
Application policy: Accepts applications, as stated on the FY2025 return.
These lines count this foundation's own Form 990-PF returns that the IRS has published as data. An amended return replaces its original. They describe past returns only.
Application guidance comes from the funder's own Form 990-PF, Part XV (the section where a private foundation says how to apply), shown as filed. It is the funder's words, not ours. These fields are free text and the IRS form cuts them short. Filers sometimes put whole sentences in the contact-name box. Shown exactly as filed.
No parsed e-filed return is on record for this organization yet, so year-by-year financials are not available.
Asset, income and revenue figures come from the IRS master file (the IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File), a coarse annual extract. Year-by-year figures appear once the organization's e-filed returns are in the database.
