Rate Explanation: The Council records its expenditures of federal awards using the indirect cost and fringe
benefit rate per the nonprofit rate agreement with the federal government, which was

as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) includes the
federal award activity of the Council under the programs of the federal government for
the year ended December 31, 2024. The information in the SEFA is presented in
accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200,
Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the SEFA presents only a selected
portion of the operations of the Council, it is not intended to, and does not, present the
financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Council.
