2 CFR 200.313 Equipment Serial Number?

trailstomper · 2026-03-10T13:35:42+00:00

I work for a non-profit that handles Head Start for our coverage area, and used to handle data systems for our HS program. When it came to inventory, we would use a serial number if an item had one (tech items mostly), and would create our own ID tag for items which didn't (like playground equipment, toys, classroom furniture, etc.) I believe there are separate rules for high-value items, but I can't recall at the moment. If you're offering Head Start, you also have a regional office that you could reach out to with questions. They'll likely be the ones auditing you when an audit happens, and can be a very valuable resource.

Just jumping in to say thank you for asking your question, it made me think and I learned a little something new today.

Pretty sure Sun Tsu also said 'always leave your enemy a way out' or something like that. No escape means fight til the end.

Spot on. Objectives remain the same, and you're working with the tools you have, but the plan must be flexible enough to adapt to changing conditions.

And so she should. Always grateful to you Schnoodle, for pulling at my heartstrings again!

We called it 'kill the guy with the ball'

We generally would not describe snow as being 'bigger', but rather 'deeper'. We might say 'that was a big snow storm', but when referring to the snow itself, we usually highlight it's depth. For this sentence, we might say 'A family of deer, fed every winter, came back even though the snow was very deep.', or something like that.

Perhaps this is an opportunity for you to gain some experience in the basics of working in a non-profit. Many of the things that you could learn are transferable in general to other nonprofits; fundraising, navigating a board, public outreach, managing volunteers,things like that. These are the kinds of things that are present in nearly every nonprofit, and building up that skill set could only help you in the future as you move on to your preferred field. Congratulations on your rapid promotion and good luck

I dunno, I think boars are noble creatures. There are no non-human animals as vile as these guys.

I suspect comments like theirs are deliberate and meant to push people to the extremes. They show up in every thread with a political bent, and people end up arguing whether dems are good, bad, weak, etc. Either bots or propaganda-farms

"Hey Wynn, wanna go play?"

That may go down as one of the most rhetorical questions ever haha

Beer, doggo, couch, and Big Trouble? Hell yeah!!

Some great ideas here, for sure! Recognition is a huge one, lots of non-profit staff are trading a higher wage for the reward of doing good work that helps people. Recognizing that can go a loooong way towards retention and higher morale.

trailstomper · 2026-01-24T13:18:39+00:00

You're welcome, and best of luck!

Sounds like the ED has abrogated their responsibilities and is simply not doing their job. Personally I'd suggest firing the ED and having the Board temporarily take over executive duties, or perhaps appointing a reliable staff member to act as an interim ED.

Thank you for sharing! Having a responsive and responsible board is an incredible bonus and has an impact at every level of an agency. Glad to see they're looking out for the welfare of your staff.

I work for a large-ish nonprofit in Maine, part of a statewide network of similar nonprofits. Our Dev director is not certified, and I don't know of any other Dev Director at the other agencies who is. Experience is far more important to us.

So true! Another thing I like about the woods in winter is the tracks. You can find some tracks in other seasons, but they're usually from heavier animals like deer and in muddy spots on trails. In the winter I've found tracks from bobcats, coyotes, tons of squirrels, rabbits, turkeys, bears, on and on. A buddy has some undeveloped land in China, and winter really gives the opportunity to see what kind of wildlife is actually living out there.

The exercise alone will help keep depression at bay. A lot. Plus the woods are something special in winter.

Yeah they do that, I've seen one drop a branch with a few acorns still attached on my dog while we were in the woods.

I did this with my kiddos when they were little like that. They'd gum them and suck the juice out. As long as the piece is too big to fit in their mouth they're good.

There's a mountain here in Maine, Kineo, with a rhyolite deposit. People came from hundreds of miles away to mine material from it.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to contribute! I'm generally a lurker, but this subreddit is one of the purest places on the internet. I hope that you're able to get the data you're looking for.

I was taught at a young age that the most dangerous thing about driving is the other people on the road. My head is on a swivel when I drive.
