The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) includes the federal award activity of the National Indian Women’s Health Resource Center (the “Organization”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2023. The information in this 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).
