| Form 990, Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 2 | Oklahoma State University Research Foundation (the Foundation) was formed to promote and foster the charitable, benevolent, religious, educational, scientific, economic, and cultural interest of every kind and description of the Oklahoma State University (the University). The University does not have an IRS determination of status as an organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2) because it is an integral part of a governmental unit, the State of Oklahoma. There is no provision of tax imposed on the income of governmental units in the Internal Revenue Code, thus the University has not applied for nor been granted exempt status by the IRS as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3). |
