Texas Heritage Songwriters Association

EIN 20-5585748 • 501(c)3 • Austin, TX

Profile

The texas heritage songwriters association produces a hall of fame awards show. This is a public event which serves as an induction ceremony for its songwriting honorees. Over the past decades many of our successful songwriters, in all genres of music have come from texas. However, we have learned that the quantity and quality of successful songwriters moving to nashville and other places where they could increase their likelihood for exposure and commercial success is not what it once was. Although songwriting is not a dying art, it is certainly not a prolific as it once was. In 2011, the texas heritage songwriters association decided to see if there were contributions that they could make to reverse this trend.

Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To provide competitions for collegiate songwriters at universities thought Texas and host workshops in Austin, TX for the winners. Workshops are administered by other successful artists, professional songwriters and people of the music industry.

The texas heritage songwriters association produces a hall of fame awards show. This is a public event which serves as an induction ceremony for its songwriting honorees. Over the past decades many of our successful songwriters, in all genres of music have come from texas. However, we have learned that the quantity and quality of successful songwriters moving to nashville and other places where they could increase their likelihood for exposure and commercial success is not what it once was. Although songwriting is not a dying art, it is certainly not a prolific as it once was. In 2011, the texas heritage songwriters association decided to see if there were contributions that they could make to reverse this trend.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

“At our board of directors meeting near the due date of the form 990 we have a copy of the return for each director. Each director is there in person. Our board members have a good understanding of tax returns and they know the basics of 501(c)(3) accounting and taxes. We do not leave until each one reviews the form 990.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

“Our directors know that we cannot have a conflict of interest. It is illegal and immoral and it is not fair to the us treasury. Anytime we have a function we make sure no director or volunteer has a financial benefit. We have one meeting every year to formally discuss conflict of interest. Each director signs the irs form.”

IRS990/MissionDesc0THE TEXAS HERITAGE SONGWRITERS ASSOCIATION PRODUCES A HALL OF FAME AWARDS SHOW. THIS IS A PUBLIC EVENT WHICH SERVES AS AN INDUCTION CEREMONY FOR ITS SONGWRITING HONOREES. OVER THE PAST DECADES MANY OF OUR SUCCESSFUL SONGWRITERS, IN ALL GENRES OF MUSIC HAVE COME FROM TEXAS. HOWEVER, WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF SUCCESSFUL SONGWRITERS MOVING TO NASHVILLE AND OTHER PLACES WHERE THEY COULD INCREASE THEIR LIKELIHOOD FOR EXPOSURE AND COMMERCIAL SUCCESS IS NOT WHAT IT ONCE WAS. ALTHOUGH SONGWRITING IS NOT A DYING ART, IT IS CERTAINLY NOT A PROLIFIC AS IT ONCE WAS. IN 2011, THE TEXAS HERITAGE SONGWRITERS ASSOCIATION DECIDED TO SEE IF THERE WERE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THEY COULD MAKE TO REVERSE THIS TREND.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1AT OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING NEAR THE DUE DATE OF THE FORM 990 WE HAVE A COPY OF THE RETURN FOR EACH DIRECTOR. EACH DIRECTOR IS THERE IN PERSON. OUR BOARD MEMBERS HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF TAX RETURNS AND THEY KNOW THE BASICS OF 501(C)(3) ACCOUNTING AND TAXES. WE DO NOT LEAVE UNTIL EACH ONE REVIEWS THE FORM 990.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2OUR DIRECTORS KNOW THAT WE CANNOT HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IT IS ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL AND IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE US TREASURY. ANYTIME WE HAVE A FUNCTION WE MAKE SURE NO DIRECTOR OR VOLUNTEER HAS A FINANCIAL BENEFIT. WE HAVE ONE MEETING EVERY YEAR TO FORMALLY DISCUSS CONFLICT OF INTEREST. EACH DIRECTOR SIGNS THE IRS FORM.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3REQUESTED INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO INTERESTED PARTIES.
