The awards are classified into program categories in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Guidance. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Childrens had no expenditures in the form of noncash assistance, had no federally provided insurance in effect, or loans or loan guarantees outstanding at year end. This Schedule is presented using the accrual basis of accounting. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: Expenditures for federal programs are recognized using cost accounting principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, Cost Principles for Non Profit Organizations (2 CFR part 230). Under these cost principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowed or are limited as to reimbursement. Expenditures include a portion of costs associated with general activities (facilities and administrative costs or indirect costs), which are allocated to federal awards under negotiated formulas. Indirect costs allocated to such awards for the year ended December 31, 2022 were based on a predetermined rate of 60.7% negotiated with Childrens oversight federal agency, the U.S. Department of Justice, and are included as a component of the expenditures for applicable grants in the Schedule. Lower facilities and administrative cost rates were used when specifically stated in respective grant agreements. Subsequent to year-end, Childrens received a provisional fixed indirect cost rate agreement dated April 14, 2023, that has been negotiated with the U.S. Department of Justice, and is effective through December 31, 2023.
