Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part I, Line 20

“The reason for building up assets with no distribution is that the Houston Tamil Studies Chair (HTSC) aims to establish a Tamil Studies Chair at the University of Houston (UH). The agreement between HTSC and UH calls for a donation of One Million Dollars by the end of 2021. HTSC will accumulate funds of up to One Million Dollars before donating to the University. There is a specific advantage to donating a large amount at one time, as the donated amount will receive a matching contribution of up to 75% from the Texas State through their grants, known as TRIP.”

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9

“Due to Rounding of numbers to the nearest dollar.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The reason for building up assets with no distribution is that the Houston Tamil Studies Chair (HTSC) aims to establish a Tamil Studies Chair at the University of Houston (UH). The agreement between HTSC and UH calls for a donation of One Million Dollars by the end of 2021. HTSC will accumulate funds of up to One Million Dollars before donating to the University. There is a specific advantage to donating a large amount at one time, as the donated amount will receive a matching contribution of up to 75% from the Texas State through their grants, known as TRIP.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Mr. Sockalingam Narayanan, one of the HTSC directors, is related to the HTSC president, Sockalingam Kannappan.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Prior to a filing Form 990, a draft return is sent to all the board members for review and approval. Feedbacks are discussed and the return may be modified as needed. Every board member gets a final copy of the return. If a second checks reveals any errors, amendments would be filed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The organization constantly monitors any conflict of interest for the directors as per our bylaws and if one such arises, it is discussed in the board to take proper action including requesting the member to resign from the Board or removal of that Board member.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The conflict of interest statement, bylaws, and financials are made available to all donors and the public upon sending request for specific information. An appointment will be set up to go over and provide the information.
