Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal award activity of GRID Alternatives (a California nonprofit corporation) (the "Organization") under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information in this Schedule 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 Schedule 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.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or limited as to reimbursement. Pass- through entity identifying numbers are presented where available and applicable. The Organization did not pass through any federal awards to subrecipients during the period.
The Organization does not utilize the 15% de minimis indirect cost rate. The Organization applies indirect costs in accordance with its negotiated indirect cost rate and specific terms of its federal award agreements.

Finding Details

2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards and the Federal Acquisition Regulations require federal award recipients/contractors such as GRID to have internal controls over the federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the recipient is managing the federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal awards. The Organization does have a control in place whereby the payroll charges to the federal awards are reviewed and approved by the appropriate individual. However, in our sample of 80 timesheets, we noted 3 instances where the Organization could not provide evidence of this approval.
