Notes to SEFA
The schedule of expenditures of Federal awards includes the Federal grant activity of National Inventors Hall of Fame, Inc. and Affiliated Organization (the Organization) under programs of the Federal government for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information in the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Organization. The funding received from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has not been assigned Federal Assistance Listing numbers. Accordingly, management used Assistance Listing Numbers 11.U01 and 11.U02 in accordance with guidance provided on the Federal Audit Clearing House website for reporting federal awards without an identified Assistance Listing Number.
