Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the schedule) includes the federal award activity of Community Legal Services under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information 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). The addition of nonfederal awards in the schedule of expenditures of federal and nonfederal awards is not required by Uniform Guidance and is also not a required part of the financial statements. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Community Legal Services, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of Community Legal Services.
The program titles and Assistance Listing numbers were obtained from the federal or passthrough grantor or the 2025 Federal Assistance Listings.
Program income totaling $159,044 was applied to expenditures related to the Basic Field grant during the year.
The organization did not pass through any funds to subrecipients during the year
