What Tamuhack does
Mission
TAMUhack is a hackathon organization dedicated to hosting hackathons for college students. We organize 2 hackathons annually, our flagship hackathon, TAMUHack, and our beginner-friendly hackathon, HowdyHack. Each year, we have over 800 students collaborate to develop both software and hardware engineering projects. Furthermore, TAMUhack hosts different workshop weeks throughout the year in the purpose of educating students on technologies and careers. All of our events are sustained by donations and sponsorships from companies and organizations. The funds for orchestrating the hackathons and workshops are broken down into the following, all of which are provided to the participants at no cost: venue, food catering, snacks and drinks, swag and prizes, and miscellaneous items that support the event. Overall, TAMUhack demonstrates its primary exempt purpose by fostering educational and career development opportunities for students in technology.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
We implemented TAMUHack Week and Howdy Week, a series of daily workshops covering rudimentary topics a week before each hackathon. It provides students with more chances to learn various technical disciplines prior to the main event. We teach the fundamentals of collaborating with a development team using GitHub. Our Intro to Web Development workshop covers the basics of website creation. Additionally, we provide guidance on creating and improving resumes, as well as preparing for technical interviews. We also have offered workshops on various specialized subjects such as: Cybersecurity, Computer Vision, Product Management and Design, Industry Case Studies, truth tables using Arduino Web Scraping, Analog Sensors, Data Science, Binary Exploitation, React Framework, Python programming language, Real-time object detection, Containerization using Docker, RESTful API programming, Starting a MongoDB container, and SolidWorks. The TAMUHack team, sponsored companies, and STEM organizations can host workshops. Presenting the workshops is an entirely voluntary activity where the costs are reserving the space to host and free food for participants at the workshops, which is funded through…

As an extension of our commitment to advancing technology education and inclusivity, HowdyHack provides a welcoming, low-pressure environment where participants from all backgrounds can learn, build, and explore the world of computer science and engineering. The educational and charitable purpose of HowdyHack is to introduce individuals to foundational principles of software and hardware development through project-based learning, hands-on experimentation, and peer collaboration. It fulfills this mission by lowering the barrier to entry into tech. HowdyHack is intentionally tailored for people who may have never written code, attended a hackathon, or built a technical project before. We provide introductory resources, mentorship, and workshops that guide participants step-by-step through the basics of building a project from scratch. We promote experiential learning in STEM fields. During the event, participants team up to build simple web apps, games, hardware integrations, or data tools that solve real-world or creative problems. This structure encourages…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $84k to $94k (+11%).
