Facts And Circumstances TestUniversity of Houston Foundation (the Foundation) submits that throughout its existence to date and in the future, it qualifies as a public charity under Internal Revenue Code 509(a)(1) by satisfying the requirements of Regulation 1.1709A-9(f)(3) as follows: (i) Ten Percent Test: The Foundation has historically and normally can be expected in the future to receive over 10% of its total support from the general public.(ii) Attraction of Public Support: The Foundation provides program support to University of Houston System for various scholarship and educational programs. Because of the support the Foundation provides the University of Houston System, it has attracted gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations with ties to the community. The Foundation continues to re-design and re-evaluate its fundraising campaigns to engage and attract new donors.(iii) Sources of Support: The Foundation historically has received support from a broad representative number of foundations and individuals, rather than receiving almost all of its support from the members of a single-family or small group of individuals. During the fiscal year 2025, the Foundation received contributions from hundreds of unique donors, with 62 donors contributing $5000 or more.(iv) Representative Governing Body: The Foundation's governing body comprises 9 area civic and business leaders. None of the board members are significant donors or disqualified persons.(v) Availability of Facilities or Services and Public Participation: The Foundation's programs impact the students of the Houston community and surrounding areas. In 2025, the Foundation supported various scholarships and programs at University of Houston, totaling $10,690,227.FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cTrustees and key personnel annually review the conflict of interest policy and complete a governance questionnaire. An Interested Person must disclose in writing all material facts related to an actual or potential conflict of interest to the President and Chair of UHF. If the President is the person involved in the potential conflict, the President shall report the interest to the Chair of UHF. Until the item which is the subject of the conflict of interest has been voted upon by the non-interested Board in accordance with this Policy, an Interested Person shall refrain from any action that might affect UHF's participation in any contract or transaction that may be affected by a conflict of interest. The Board shall determine by a majority vote of the members who do not have a financial interest in the conflict of interest transaction under consideration whether a conflict of interest exists and, if so, whether UHF should nonetheless enter into the contract or transaction because doing so is in UHF's best interest.
