Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal grant activity of Lutheran Social Services of the Virgin Islands, Inc. (Lutheran Social Services) under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 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 Lutheran Social Services, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of Lutheran Social Services.
Lutheran Social Services has elected not to use the 15-percent de minims indirect cost rate allowed under Uniform Guidance.
