                    <text>The LEAGUE Michigan Update
The LEAGUE Michigan is a program for service, service-learning and philanthropy education
that builds character and empowers young people to “do good” in their community, the nation,
and the world. Central to this work is the Learning to Give curriculum, which provides over
1,500 lesson plans aligned to state standards for use by K-12 educators. The three major
components of the program are teacher trainings, the service and leadership camp for students and
the placement of national service members throughout the state.
Currently
We are in a 197 schools, totaling 940 classrooms and 108 districts and roughly 23,500 students in
the state of Michigan, including four school districts, consisting of Carson City-Crystal, Jackson,
Pinckney and Romulus. The schools consist of a mix of public, private and charter schools.
Update/Opportunties
The LEAGUE Michigan Commission
The LEAGUE Michigan Commission recently met at North Park Elementary in Grand Rapids.
This venue provide an opportunity for the board members to hear from three teachers who
participated in the Fisher Training presented by Meijer this summer and some of their students
who have been participating in service, service-learning and philanthropy education projects since
the beginning of the school year. In addition, the board began working on a strategic plan to
assist in laying out the direction and goals of the program for the future. The plan will be
completed by the beginning of May, 2012.
Detroit Pistons/Allstate Insurance Mitten Drive
This is the third year we have partnered with the Detroit Pistons and Allstate to engage schools in
collecting winter gear for kids in the foster care system. Currently, we have engaged almost 175
classrooms in over 30 schools. Participating classrooms have the opportunity to win up to $2,500
to support service, service-learning and philanthropy education in their school and the chance to
be recognized on court, during a Pistons game.

Fund Advancement Activities Second Quarter (Q2) FY 2011-12

MNA Strategic Fund
Board Giving
Our annual campaign continues to move toward our goal of full board engagement with 24 of 41
(58%) board members giving or pledging to date. The Fund Advancement Committee remains
focused on ensuring that MNA’s leadership has full participation this fiscal year. Our original
hope was to complete our goal by the end of the calendar year. We still have a number of the
Executive Committee members remaining unpledged and hope that will be remedied by the next
Executive Committee Meeting. If you require pledge materials, please notify me or Kathy
Cooney and we will follow up.
Overall MNA’s Strategic Fund (unrestricted or general operations revenue) and Nonprofit Center
Campaign remain at a steady pace. Our goal for the year is $1,759,864. To date we have raised
$1,170,123 including some multi-year grants, leaving us with $970,216 (55%) to garner by June
30, 2012 to meet our budgeted revenue target. While this is an ambitious number to reach with
nearly 50% of the year completed, we have every confidence that we will meet our goal.
We are pleased to announce that the Kresge Foundation has provided a $480,000 three-year
grant to support MNA’s Metro Detroit Partnership. This includes a $100,000 reapportioned
grant initially designed to support Highway T. That work will be supported in a different way as
Highway T’s new Director, Leon Wilson redesigns the Highway T business model.
It is important to note, that MNA has taken on the added burden of leading on the Nonprofit
Center Campaign and that campaign can take up additional time and resources as we work to
meet our own annual goals. However, the partners in the Nonprofit Center have agreed to work
collaboratively to help reach our financial targets without sacrificing MNA’s overall funding
goals and prospects. This moved our need to form an MNA Campaign Committee out to the end
of the fiscal year when the other partners have had a chance to craft their strategy. More detail
on this campaign and its impact on MNA’s goals are provided in the section below.

�Nonprofit Center Campaign Update
MNA and others have moved into the Armory and officially embarked on our 15-year
partnership that includes the Capital Region Community Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Michigan Capital Region, Capital Area United Way, Food Bank Council of Michigan, and the
Michigan Association of United Ways. Our $875,000 campaign to support our transition to the
Armory and launch our partnership efforts is well under way. We are pleased to announce three
recent successes. First, MNA was notified of a $200,000 two-year grant from the Herbert H. &amp;
Grace A. Dow Foundation in support of the Nonprofit Center.
In addition, the Consumers Energy Foundation officially notified MNA that it was awarding a
$125,000 challenge grant to the Nonprofit Center. Finally, the MASCO Foundation has agreed
to devote $10,000 of its $20,000 support grant to MNA to support the installation of the MNA
20th Anniversary Mosaic. Below is a brief summary of the overall campaign to date.

MNA took the lead on securing a major donor to the Campaign and we are extremely grateful to
the Herbert H. &amp; Grace A. Dow Foundation for their leadership gift. We were equally grateful
and fortunate that the Consumers Energy Foundation will highlight the Center Partners by
announcing their other nine grantees to be included in their 125th Anniversary Celebration at the
Armory on December 6th! This will bring grantees from all across Michigan to Lansing to
announce to the media, the Foundation’s grant-making strategy.
The Nonprofit Center partners have agreed to transition to a more localized approach to the
campaign by leveraging the gifts from the Herbert H. &amp; Grace A. Dow Foundation and the
Consumers Energy Foundation to garner local prospects toward the overall campaign.
Other Funds and Grants Received
2012 Service Learning and Civic Engagement Institute and 2012 Campus-Community
Partnership Award:
Michigan Campus Compact 2012 Service Learning and Civic Engagement Institute takes place
on January 30 and 31, 2012. State Farm kicked off the fund raising effort by helping to raise
25% ($5,000) of the overall event sponsorship ($20,000) goal. MCC has an additional goal of
raising $10,000 for the Campus-Community Partnership Award (formerly known as the Carter
Partnership Award). The Award recognizes one outstanding campus-community partnership that
has successfully demonstrated a commitment to higher education and community that has
resulted in a tangible community impact. This award is given every two years and the award is

�split evenly between the awarded partners ($5,000 to the campus and $5,000 to the community
partner).
Volunteer Centers of Michigan Volunteer Generation Fund
For the second year, Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is fortunate that the Michigan
Community Service Commission (MCSC) has awarded VCM a grant of $ 116,602.00 from the
Volunteer Generation Fund from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS).
The resources in year two will go to support training and technical assistance to VCM’s 7 main
grantees, to support mini technology and national days of service grants to 7 additional centers,
to coordinate the state wide portal of the HandsOn Connect technology and to oversee and
coordinate the statewide evaluation component of the larger MCSC grant. VCM is also in
receipt of a HandsOn Network national VISTA grant for 4 VISTAs who will be placed within 4
centers throughout the state.

To the Board of Directors
Michigan Nonprofit Association
Lansing, Michigan

We have audited the financial statements of Michigan Nonprofit Association for the year ended June 30, 2011, and
have issued our report thereon dated November 16, 2011. Professional standards require that we provide you
with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing
Standards, and OMB Circular A-133, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of
our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated July 8, 2011. Professional
standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Findings

Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting
policies used by the Association are described in Note A to the financial statements. No new accounting policies
were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during 2011. We noted no transactions
entered into by the Association during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All
significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on
management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events.
Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and
because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most
sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
•

Management's estimate of depreciation expense for the current period is based on an estimate of the useful
lives of the fixed assets.

•

Management's estimate of the allocation of functional expenses to program and supporting services is based
on actual expenses as well as management's estimation of time spent by employees on the respective
services.

•

Management's estimate of disallowed income tax benefit is based on management's past experience and
costs of actual related interest and penalties to date.

We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these accounting estimates in determining that they
are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit,
other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Material
misstatements were not detected as a result of audit procedures.

�Disagreements with Management

For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial
accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to
the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose
during the course of our audit.
Management Representations

We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated November 16, 2011.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants

In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an
accounting principle to the Association's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion
that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to
check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such
consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues

We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Association's auditors. However, these
discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a
condition to our retention.
This information is intended solely for the use of management and the Board of Directors of Michigan Nonprofit
Association and is not intended to be and should not be used for any other purpose by anyone other than these
specified parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Michigan Nonprofit Association
Lansing, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Michigan Nonprofit Association as of June 30,
2011, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Association's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived
from the Association's 2010 financial statements and in our report dated November 9, 2010, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America
and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Michigan Nonprofit Association as of June 30, 2011, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 16, 2011, on
our consideration of Michigan Nonprofit Association's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters. The
purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of Michigan
Nonprofit Association taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information, as identified in the table of
contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as
required by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and
Nonprofit Organizations, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and was derived frdm and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2011

NOTE A: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Michigan Nonprofit Association (the Association) is a nonprofit corporation organized to increase the capacity of
Michigan's nonprofits to serve, strengthen, and transform communities. Programs of the Association are divided
into five categories, as follows:
•

Educational Services - the Association provides through its Lansing and Metro Detroit offices high-quality,
low-cost training to nonprofit boards, staff, and volunteers throughout Michigan including statewide
conferences and smaller regional seminars.

•

Public Policy - in affiliation with the Council of Michigan Foundations, the Association promotes the
involvement of Michigan's nonprofit community in public policy by training its leaders, building the capacity
of its organizations and encouraging collaboration with public policymakers.

•

Nonprofit Outreach - the Association serves both its members and the nonprofit sector statewide through a
variety of programs and services.

•

Public Grants - through state and federal funding sources, the Association provides capacity building
services, including training and technical assistance, to small and mid-size nonprofit organizations as
well as colleges and universities.

•

Volunteerism - the Association has a strong commitment to volunteerism through its affiliations with the
Michigan Campus Compact and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, its partnership with the Michigan
Community Service Commission, and with the support of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment.

The accounting policies of the Association conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as
applicable to nonprofit entities. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the accepted standard-setting
body for establishing nonprofit accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the
significant accounting policies of the Association:
Basis of Presentation - In accordance with GAAP, the Association is required to report information regarding its
financial position and activities according to three (3) classes of net assets (unrestricted net assets, temporarily
restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets) based upon the existence or absence of donorimposed restrictions.
GAAP also require contributions received to be recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently
restricted support, depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. The Association has not
received any contributions with donor-imposed restrictions that would result in permanently restricted net assets.
Basis of Accounting - Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts
and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made
regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The financial statements of the Association are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for nonprofit organizations.
Cash -Cash consist of savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, and cash on hand.
Fixed Assets - Equipment acquired by the Association is stated at cost, if purchased, or at fair value, if donated,
with items capitalized at a unit cost of $5,000 or greater and a life expectancy of one year or more. Depreciation is
provided using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets, which range from 5 to 7 years.
The costs of normal maintenance that do not add to the value of assets or materially extend the asset lives are not
capitalized.
Deferred Revenue - Membership dues are paid annually.
subsequent year is recorded as deferred revenue at year-end.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2011

NOTE A: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES- CONTINUED
Contributions - All contributions are considered to be available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by
the donor. Amounts received that are designated for future periods or restricted by the donor for specific purposes
are reported as temporarily restricted support that increases that net asset class. When a temporary restriction
expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of
activities as net assets released from restrictions.
Contributed Materials. Equipment. and Services - GAAP require recognition of professional services received if
those services (a) create or enhance long-lived assets or (b) require specialized skills, are provided by
individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. GAAP
also require contributions of tangible assets to be recognized at fair value when received and the value of donated
services to be recorded as contributions in the period the services are rendered. The amounts reflected in the
financial statements as in-kind contributions will be offset by like amounts included in expenses. The Association
did not receive contributed materials, equipment, or services during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 or 2010,
meeting the recognition criteria.
Governmental Grants - The Association has accounted for governmental grants as contributions rather than
exchange transactions. Governmental grant revenue is recognized as revenue when received and recorded as
unrestricted or temporarily restricted, depending on the terms and conditions of the applicable grant agreement.
Functional Expense Allocation - Expenses identified as applying to a specific program or supporting service are
recorded in the appropriate service area as incurred. Expenses not directly attributable to a program or supporting
service are allocated between service areas based upon the cumulative results of time studies of professional staff
time.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes - The Association is a publicly supported organization exempt from income tax under Section
501 (c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The Association is not classified as a private foundation.
Subsequent Events - In preparing these financial statements, the Association has evaluated events and
transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through November 16, 2011, the date the financial statements
were available to be issued.
Comparative Data - The financial statements include certain prior-year comparative information in order to
provide an understanding of the changes in the Association's financial position and operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2011

NOTE 1: UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES

Federal tax law provides tax benefits to nonprofit organizations recognized as exempt from federal income tax
under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). The Code requires that tax-exempt organizations
must comply with federal tax law to maintain tax-exempt status and avoid penalties.
As an exempt organization as described in Section 501 (c )(3) of the Code that has been classified as other than a
private foundation, Michigan Nonprofit Association is only subject to tax on unrelated business income as
defined by Section 509(a)(1) of the Code. Michigan Nonprofit Association has no unrelated business income for
the year ended June 30, 2011. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes has not been made on the financial
statements.
The amount of income tax benefit that may be disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), if any, cannot
be determined at this time although Michigan Nonprofit Association expects such amounts, if any, to be
immaterial.
Interest and/or penalties on an amount of income taxes deemed underpaid, if any, will be classified as income
taxes in the financial statements. Michigan Nonprofit Association has not recognized any interest or penalties
payable in the Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2011, or interest or penalties expense in the
Statement of Activities for the year then ended.
Michigan Nonprofit Association is subject to IRS and state examinations for a period of at least three (3) years
after the Form 990 has been filed.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

To the Board of Directors
Michigan Nonprofit Association
Lansing, Michigan

We have audited the financial statements of Michigan Nonprofit Association as of and for the year ended June
30, 2011, and have issued our report thereon dated November 16, 2011. We conducted our audit in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Michigan Nonprofit Association's internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Michigan Nonprofit
Association's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of Michigan Nonprofit Association's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in
internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. In addition, because of inherent
limitations in internal control, including the possibility of management override of controls, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected by such controls. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal
control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Michigan Nonprofit Association's financial statements
are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect
on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of
our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT AND ·
MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133

To the Board of Directors
Michigan Nonprofit Association
Lansing, Michigan

Compliance
We have audited Michigan Nonprofit Association's compliance with the types of compliance requirements
described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each
of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2011. Michigan Nonprofit Association's major federal
programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each
of its major federal programs is the responsibility of Michigan Nonprofit Association's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on Michigan Nonprofit Association's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued
by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133. Those standards and OMB Circular A133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with
the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major
federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about Michigan Nonprofit
Association's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures, as we considered
necessary in the Circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit
does not provide a legal determination of Michigan Nonprofit Association's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, Michigan Nonprofit Association complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year
ended June 30, 2011.
Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of Michigan Nonprofit Association is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal
programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered Michigan Nonprofit Association's internal control
over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program to
determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report
on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of inte~nal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of Michigan Nonprofit Association's internal control over compliance.

Recommendation to the MNA Board of Directors
The MNA members of the MNA/D3 Advisory Committee recommend the Board of
Directors of the Michigan Nonprofit Association empower the staff of MNA to negotiate
an affiliation agreement with Data Driven Detroit, currently a program of City Connect
Detroit, to be considered and codified by the MNA Board of Directors at a later date.
Background
MNA/D3 Advisory Committee met on November 30, 2011 and recommended that the
Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Data Driven Detroit program proceed with a
process to implement a partnership whereby D3 would affiliate with MNA.
In a decision to actively explore an opportunity of partnership between Data Driven
Detroit and Michigan Nonprofit Association, the leadership of both organizations
assembled an advisory group comprised of key stakeholders-for each organization
respectively-to assist with an exploration process. After several meetings between the
leaders of both organizations and two formal meetings of the advisory group, a
unanimous recommendation was rendered for Data Driven Detroit and Michigan
Nonprofit Association to move beyond exploration of partnership toward examining the
viability and logistics of partnership to include due diligence, affiliation agreement,
integration and communication process.
The suggested timetable to begin the next phase of examination would begin this
December. The due diligence phase will examine the overall risks including assets and
liabilities; culture and other pertinent items. Upon satisfactory completion of due
diligence and acceptance of its findings, codification of an affiliate agreement would be
completed in March 2012. Expected migration of Data Driven Detroit to Michigan
Nonprofit Association as its new host would begin April/May 2012; concluding with
full integration of Data Driven Detroit as an affiliate of Michigan Nonprofit Association
by June/July 2012.

Re: VCM Quarterly Report
Below you will find some key highlights of our work this past quarter.
Volunteer Generation Fund Grantee Training Resources:
In an effort to provide relevant volunteer management training information to Volunteer Generation
Fund Grantees, VCM and consultant Sandra Miller have created several new resources related to the
following topics. Each topic includes a train-the-trainer toolkit including a PowerPoint, trainer notes,
evaluation form, reporting form and additional resources.
• Project Planning: http://mivolunteers.org/projectcalendars.aspx
• Risk Assessment: http://mivolunteers.org/riskmanagement.aspx
• Volunteer Management (Growing Your Volunteer Program):
http://mivolunteers.org/volunteermanagement.aspx
VCM will continue to update and add new resources, linking from the Volunteer Generation Fund
grantee webpage (http://mivolunteers.org/vgf.aspx). VCM intends to post recorded webinars on each
topic, as well.
HandsOn Connect Volunteer Management Technology
Several communities in Michigan are in the process of deploying HandsOn Connect, a
groundbreaking volunteer management technology. Unlike previous volunteer management systems,
this new platform is located “in the clouds,” allowing all information to be stored on the internet.
VCM and the Michigan Community Service Commission are working together to have 14 Michigan
communities operating with HandsOn Connect by early 2012. The following centers are already live
with the new system.
Volunteer Centers Live with HandsOn

VOLUNTEER Lenawee!

United Way of Jackson County Volunteer Center
Volunteer Northwest Michigan
Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan

Cass, Berrien, Van Buren

�HandsOn Connect Statewide Volunteer Portal
HandsOn Connect has opened the door for a new and exciting opportunity for the entire state of
Michigan. This fall, the Michigan Community Service Commission and Volunteer Centers of
Michigan will launch the first phase of a statewide volunteer portal. This will be a one stop access
point for anyone to find volunteer opportunities in Michigan. The volunteer portal will include a
widget embedded on the VCM and MCSC websites, with search results being housed at
www.volunteermichigan.org.
The portal will serve as the entry point for volunteers to search for projects from all communities
using HandsOn Connect. Here volunteers can review search results at the state level, click through to
view project details, and sign up for specific projects at the local level. It will allow aggregated data
feeds from other technology platforms, including All For Good, the national volunteer search engine
used by Serve.gov. HandsOn Connect will provide robust reporting and analytics that can be
collected locally, as well as statewide.
9/11 Day of Service: Honoring Their Service with Ours
In an effort to engage Michigan citizens in the 9/11 Tribute Movement, Volunteer Centers of
Michigan and the Michigan Community Service Commission have created a volunteer pledge card to
honor troops, veterans and military families. The cards encourage volunteers to pay tribute by
committing to a specific number of volunteer hours throughout the calendar year. Pledge cards will
be distributed during tribute events and service projects, such as community clean-ups, homeless
veteran care package collections, college volunteer fairs, food drives, construction builds, peace
tribute walks and community breakfasts.
Additionally, the 9/11 Day pledge cards will be used in press releases and at press conferences,
challenging residents to pledge 10 hours of service in honor of the 10th Anniversary of 9/11.
Collecting contact information and service commitments makes it easy to follow up and engage new
volunteers in future projects. Participating centers include:
• Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo
• HandsOn Battle Creek
• Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan
• VOLUNTEER Lenawee!
• United Way of Jackson County
• Volunteer Action Center of St. Clair County
• Heart of West Michigan United Way
• Volunteer Northwest Michigan
National Conference on Volunteering and Service
This summer several VCM and MNA employees attended the National Conference on Volunteering
and Service. In addition to gathering national resources, our staff members contributed to the
conference by presenting a workshop session in the “Leveraging Partnerships” category. Below you
can see the session description:
Building a Statewide Community of Service - Shannon Zoet, Ashley Gulker, Rachel Klegon
Interested in developing or strengthening partnerships with higher education institutions and
volunteer connector agencies? Come learn about the Michigan model involving collaborative
efforts among Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan
Nonprofit Association. This unique perspective will help you identify your own strategic
advantages and discover the intersection where state opportunities, national service and local
change come together.

�VCM VISTA Updates
The VCM*VISTA program currently has three VISTA members serving in Volunteer Centers
throughout the state and one VISTA Leader who is housed at MNA’s Detroit office.
During the past quarter, the VCM*VISTA members made huge strides in building capacity for their
Volunteer Centers to meet community needs and develop poverty alleviation initiatives:
•

Ben Crockett who is serving at Char-Em United Way has organized a new Literacy Corps
program by facilitating a partnership with the local Intermediate School District. This
program will promote reading and learning skills with area children. The focus will be on
preschool and elementary age students. In addition, Ben is also responsible for securing a
Google Grant, an in-kind donation program awarding up to $10,000 per month in AdWords
advertising. This has increased the ability of volunteers and those in need to access the
programs and services of Char-Em United Way and its funded partners.

•

Anthony Sacco, who is serving with Volunteer Lenawee!, has been incredibly active in the
community, recruiting volunteers of every demographic and raising awareness about
poverty. In the last quarter, Anthony coordinated 3 poverty awareness events reaching 59
people, held 2 volunteer management trainings, and engaged 127 new volunteers who served
a total of 1,363 hours of service. Anthony also coordinated a service learning project for 30
students of the Lenawee Intermediate School District’s Careers in Early Childhood class
which featured partnerships with the City of Adrian Parks and Recreation Department,
Lenawee Emergency and Affordable Housing Corporation, and Heidi Cagle of the LISD.

•

Teresa Zbiciak, who is serving at the Heart of West Michigan United Way Volunteer Center,
has made significant in-roads to enhancing the capacity of the organization to recruit and
utilize volunteers in skills-based projects by leveraging existing partnerships between the
volunteer center and corporate partners to match retirees with meaningful service
opportunities. Teresa has also educated local nonprofits on how best to engage highly skilled
volunteers in one-day service projects in preparation for the upcoming Day of Caring event.

•

Matthew Reaume, AmeriCorps VISTA Leader serving with Volunteer Centers of Michigan
has provided one-on-one support to each VISTA as well as developed training content and
resources to the VISTA cohort. In addition, Matthew has facilitated partnerships between the
United Way of Southeast Michigan George Romney Volunteer Center and local area
nonprofits in an effort to strengthen and expand volunteer management efforts in the city of
Detroit through his participation in coordinating and securing funding for a 9/11 service
project.

VCM*VISTA Grant Award
Volunteer Centers of Michigan was awarded a grant through the HandsOn Network to support 5
AmeriCorps VISTA members for the 2011-2012 grant year. Host sites will be located in: Detroit
(x2), Port Huron, Flint and Niles. The Volunteer Centers of Michigan was also awarded 5 slots from
the Corporation for National and Community Service to host VISTA members in the following
locations: Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Petoskey, Kalamazoo and Sault St. Marie. VISTA members
are being recruited to begin their year of service in November.

Board Report
September 20, 2011
Action Items
There are three action items – position statement on MNA’s position statement on voting and the role
of nonprofits in voter engagement activities, Clarifying the Sales Tax Exemption for Fundraising
Purposes, and Statement on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction.
Position Statement
The Board of Directors of the Michigan Nonprofit Association places a high priority on making our
nation’s democracy works for everyone. When the processes of representative government work well,
everyone has a voice on the issues that affect their lives. Nonprofits, working strategically and together,
have the strength and expertise to engage and actively participate in the democratic process.
Therefore, the Michigan Nonprofit Association actively supports election laws and policies that make
voting fair and accessible for all citizens.
Position Statement SB 0107
Michigan Nonprofit Association is concerned that tax law clearly ensures that charitable tax exempt
organizations and their expenditures are treated consistently. In addition, MNA seeks to ensure that
nonprofits have sufficient resources to meet their missions. MNA supports amending the language of
the General Sales Tax Act – SB 0107 – to clarify that products purchased by 501(c)3 and 501(c)4
organizations to carry out fundraising activities would be exempt from sales tax thereby ensuring that
those dollars could be used to fulfill their charitable missions.

Statement on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction
The Board of the Michigan Nonprofit Association believes that the Michigan nonprofit sector and
the people it serves have an unique opportunity to engage members of the Joint Select Committee
on Deficit Reduction about the diverse roles nonprofits play in American life. MNA believes that a
successful deficit reduction plan considers smart spending cuts, sustainable growth initiatives, and
reasonable revenue realignment. We hope the members of the Committee will approach their
responsibilities with an open mind and a holistic approach that puts the country’s future ahead of
partisan politics and ideology. MNA urges the Committee to be open to the input of citizens and
organizations. We also believe the nonprofit sector must proactively engage members of the
Committee to help inform their decision-making.

�Discussion Items
A. Nonprofit Day

MNA is very excited about Nonprofit Day this year. The theme is “Building Opportunities in
Challenging Times.” We are excited to announce our three key note speakers: Dan
Gilmartin, CEO and President of the Michigan Municipal League, George Pillsbury, the
founder and director of Nonprofit Vote, and Maya Enista, CEO of Mobilize.org. Also, the
Center for Michigan will be launching its newest Community Conversation on education at
Nonprofit Day. The agenda is set and registration is open. Please find the agenda attached.
B. Michigan Tax Reform Update
Governor Snyder indicated that the next agenda item for tax reform legislation is changes to the
Personal Property Tax. He has indicated that Lt. Governor Calley will lead this effort. This will be
one of the priorities for the Legislature when they return from their August recess.
Tax reform legislation was passed by both the Senate and House on May 12th, sending it to Governor
Rick Snyder for his signature. The bill eliminates the charitable tax credit, replaces the Michigan
Business Tax with a 6 percent corporate income tax, and taxes pensions. The elimination of the
charitable tax credits will reduce the ability of Michigan’s nonprofit sector to serve those most in
need. We will continue to work with the legislature to introduce an amendment to this legislation.
In more positive news, included in the same tax legislation referenced above, Michigan’s Earned
Income Tax Credit will not be eliminated. Instead, filers will receive a 6 percent match of the federal
EITC, rather than the 20 percent match as the credit stands now. While this is a reduction, this
legislation preserves the spirit of the EITC. The original legislation zeroed out the credit, later to be
changed to a $25 per child tax credit. The 6 percent state EITC will still help low-income families.

C. Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction
The Committee is still in the organization process. The committee members are:
Senate members
Patty Murray, Washington, Co-Chair
Max Baucus, Montana
John Kerry, Massachusetts
Jon Kyl, Arizona

Rob Portman, Ohio

House members
Jim Clyburn, South Carolina
Xavier Becerra, California
Chris Van Hollen, Maryland
Jeb Hensarling, Texas, Co-Chair
Dave Camp, Michigan
Fred Upton, Michigan

D. National Service Funding
The $2 trillion deficit packaged crafted to approve the debt ceiling calls for significant cuts in
domestic spending which will likely target the Corporation for National and Community Service. On

�August 10th, national service champions from across the country engaged in the Save Service District
Day campaign to ensure Congress understands the value of the national service programs. Save
Service also organized a Hill Lobby Day on September 15th.

E. Nonprofit Caucus Update
The Leadership of the Nonprofit Caucus was introduced to the MNA Government Reform Agenda
with specific recommendations for legislation for the current session (see attachment B). The
Caucus will take up the agenda and discuss their priorities with leadership in the House and Senate.
The co-chairs are as follows:
Senate
Rebekah Warren (D)
Tupac Hunter (D)
Mark Jansen (R)
John Proos (R)

House
Rashida Tlaib (D)
Stacy Erwin Oakes (D)
Amanda Price (R)
Wayne Schmidt (R)

State and Federal Updates
A. State Updates
Census Report
A report (see Attachment C) is completed that highlighting all of the great work that nonprofits did
to turn out the count last year for the 2010 Census. Highlights include:
- Over 1,500 volunteers donated over 10,000 hours of service to ensure all Michiganders were
counted;
- 38 organizations received a total of $341,000 in min-grants for their grassroots efforts to
increase Census mail returns; and
- One of the major lessons learned was that the more lead-time to plan, the more nonprofits can
achieve to increase mail-in returns.
Rachid Elabed from ACCESS will present on the work they did as part of Census 2010: Nonprofits
Count coalition.
Redistricting
June proved to the month of redistricting. The House and Senate held four hearings – two in each
chamber – on the proposed maps. The Michigan Redistricting Collaborative (MRC) testified at all
four hearings urging the legislature to give the public more time to study and provide feedback on
the maps. Besides the MRC, six partner organizations testified supporting our position of giving the
public more time to look at and comment on the proposed districts.
Our call for a more transparent process was echoed by members of the media, especially when it
came to the Congressional map. Many of these articles can be found on the MRC website,
www.drawthelinemichigan.org

�Governor Snyder signed the new maps for the Michigan Legislature and Congress into law on August
9th.
There will be a presentation from APIA Vote-Michigan by their Public Policy Chair, Anika Fassia, a
MRC partner at the meeting.
CASH ASSISTANCE CASES CONTINUE STEADY DECLINE (Gongwer News)
The number of people receiving cash assistance through the Family Independence Program
continued its steady decline in July, but all other areas of support saw increases, according to a
report from the Department of Human Services.
There were 221,102 receiving cash support through the program in July, down from a high of
235,784 last November. That number has declined every month since.
The number of people on some type of assistance jumped in July to 2.538 million, from 2.531 million
in June. The peak was in March when there were 2.562 million recipients.
Under the Child Development and Care program, 75,544 children were eligible for assistance, up
from 74,777 in June.
Food assistance numbers increased from 1.924 million in June to 1.928 million. State disability
assistance moved up from 9,586 in June to 9,806.
The number of those eligible for Medicaid also jumped to 1.929 million in July, from 1.924 million in
June.
MELTON RESIGNING TO LEAD RHEE GROUP LOBBYING EFFORTS (Gongwer News)
The frustrations of serving in the minority, where Rep. Tim Melton was unable to set the state's
education agenda anymore, made it much easier for him to be wooed away by a national education
reform group.
Mr. Melton (D-Auburn Hills) will resign next week (9/6/2011) to head the national lobbying efforts
of StudentsFirst, led by Michelle Rhee, the former Washington, D.C., schools leader.

B. Federal Updates
Young Voter Engagement
The national organization, Rock the Vote, recently released a report detailing the ease of voting for
young voters in the United States. The scorecard measures state laws and policies in three key
areas: (1) voter registration, (2) casting a ballot and (3) young voter preparation. The 21-point scale
evaluates each state’s implementation of policies that increase access to the political process.
Michigan is in the bottom third, tied for 38th with Hawaii. The full scorecard is Attachment D.
Debt Ceiling Deal Enacted: What It Means to Nonprofits (National Council of Nonprofits)
Here are a few observations to provide some perspective to the coming debates:
 Spending cuts: As the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Christian Science
Monitor report, governments at the state and local levels already are bracing for significantly

�



reduced funding, which, in turn, limits their ability to work with nonprofits to provide services
on behalf of governments in communities throughout the country.
Entitlement Reforms: Since policymakers generally assume nonprofits will fill in the gaps the
policymakers create, many of the reforms to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are likely
to increase demand for services and reduce funding. Proposals on the table range from reducing
eligibility and reimbursement rates, to delaying and taxing benefits.
Tax Reforms: There is broad agreement that the tax code is too complicated and unfair, but no
consensus exists on whether reforms should be designed primarily to simplify the law and
reduce tax rates, or to generate increased revenues to reduce the deficit. Lowering the
individual tax rates from the current top rate of 36 percent to 25 percent,as discussed in the
House, is expected also to lower the incentive for giving, as is the President’s proposal to limit
the value of charitable and other itemized deductions.

Affordable Care Act
Federal officials have created a hybrid, state-federal solution to states interested in running the health
insurance exchanges called for in the federal health care reform law, but still would like some
involvement from Uncle Sam, state legislators learned today.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are still working out the details, but a central feature of
the state-federal partnership would be a federal "hub" to create efficiencies.

�Identity Statement
MNA serves nonprofits to advance their missions. We do this by increasing the capacity of
nonprofits in Michigan with emphasis on our competitive advantages of Civic Engagement (Human
Capital) and Public Policy (Collective Voice) through:





Engaging the collective voice of nonprofits (through public policy, advocacy)
Leveraging the power of human capital (by supporting civic engagement throughout the
continuum of life in a community)
Fostering collaboration and effective practices (among networks and local resources)
Cultivating and sharing resources and information (to explain, promote and advance the
work of the sector)

We are sustainable by ensuring a sufficient and diverse funding pool that includes grants, fees and
contracted services, dues and non-dues revenue, individual giving and endowment proceeds.
Strategy Screen
MNA’s strategies must:







Focus on work that is mission related (How does this transform nonprofits-increase
capacity?)
Demonstrate or assess the availability of resources (Can we afford it/can we pay for it?)
Be relevant to the needs of nonprofits including higher education institutions, volunteer
centers and K-12 schools involved in The League (Will nonprofits/members benefit or need
it? And how deep will MNA’s involvement be-dependent on work)
Lead with our competitive advantage (Are we leveraging our civic engagement and public
policy expertise?)
Have significant impact (Will we be able to demonstrate a short-term or long-term
difference?)
Recognizes new and emerging trends and political realities (Is the strategy relevant to today
and the future? Is it something we have to do?)

Big Questions


How will MNA know that it is effective in utilizing its core functions and competitive
advantages to transform Michigan nonprofits as they face current and future challenges?



How does MNA develop a consistent and sustainable funding strategy aligned with our
organizational structure and results in a balanced budget by end of FY 2012?

�MNA Finance Committee Report
David Seaman reported that the MNA Finance Committee met and reviewed the Financial
Statement for month ending March 31, 2011 and the MNA 2011-2012 fiscal year budget.
David requested that MNA Director of Finance, Tina Bruce review the Financial Statement
highlights. Tina reported that revenue is down and due to timing on grants we show a $31,000
deficit. If grant money is received prior to the end of the year, MNA may end the year at the
breakeven point.
A motion was made by David Seaman and seconded by David Price to approve the un-audited
Financial Statements for month ending March 31, 2011. Motion carried.
David requested that Tina provide an overview of the MNA 2011-2012 fiscal year budget. David
stated that he commends Tina for her excellent work.
Tina reviewed the budget and said the core assumptions for a structurally balanced budget by the
end of FY 2012 are the reduction of overhead costs, changing benefits to manage costs and improve
participation and conservative projections with foundation review. MNA will focus on areas for
growth and realign the budget around the MNA Strategic Plan. Tina stated that the key challenges
to balancing the budget are the decline in revenues, which include, the CMA Endowment payout
down due to lower interest rates, federal grant programs that are ending or being eliminated, large
foundations support to MNA smaller than in past years and membership rates down, due to the new
database and reporting is more accurate. In addition, overhead costs have increased with benefits
estimated to rise dramatically. Tina reviewed a PowerPoint presentation that showed these figures
in detail and the overall plan on reducing these expenses and steps that will be taken. Kyle noted
that these are difficult choices that MNA must make and stated that everywhere in the sector
organizations are facing these same decisions.
A motion was made by David Seaman and seconded by David Price that the MNA Board of
Directors approve the 2011-2012 fiscal year budget and related employee health benefits
modification. Motion carried.
In addition, David reported that due to the changes in the MNA benefits, MNA will need a
resolution to change the 401 (k) with Mutual of America and requested that.
A motion was made by David Seaman and seconded by Ibraham Ahmed to support the
recommendation for a resolution to change the MNA 401 (k) fund with Mutual of America.
Motion carried.
MNA Fund Advancement Report
John Schneider provided an overview of the goals of the Nonprofit Center, and he reported that the
Fund Advancement Committee met and recommends to the MNA Executive Committee that MNA
proceed with a campaign to raise the needed funds for the Nonprofit Center space, furniture needs
and programming in collaboration with the other Nonprofit Center partners.

�A motion to support the fundraising efforts working with the Nonprofit Center partners as
presented above was made by John Schneider and seconded by Sheilah Clay. Motion carried.
John stated that the MNA Board of Directors has a goal of 100% participation in giving each year.
For the 2010-2011 fiscal year, MNA is proud that it achieved 100% participation. And, requested
that board members remember that MNA’s new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2011, and we need to
begin the process of achieving 100% participation for the fiscal year 2011-2012. To help with this, a
pledge form will be included in your board packet. John thanked everyone for their continued
support of MNA, its affiliates and work on behalf of the nonprofit sector.
Board Development Committee
Kyle Caldwell reported that the Board Development Committee recommended that the MNA
Executive Committee approve the nominations of the following to the MNA Board of Directors
Class of 2013:
1. Association seat – Class of 2013
a. Doris Higgins, Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan
(VCM replacement of Denise Hubbard)
2. At-Large seat – Class of 2013
a. Kimberly Houston-Philpot, Dow Corning Corporation Foundation
A motion was made by David Price and seconded by John Schneider to accept the above
recommendation by the Board Development Committee. Motion carried.
MNA Public Policy Committee
Kyle reported that Kari Sederburg has been appointed by the Snyder Administration to serve as the
new Director of the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging. Board members congratulated Kari
on her new post. A warm round of applause followed.
Kari reported that there was one action item for approval, the position statement on Clarifying the
Sales Tax Exemption for Fundraising Purposes which follows:
Michigan Nonprofit Association is concerned that tax law clearly ensures that charitable tax
exempt organizations and their expenditures are treated consistently. In addition, MNA
seeks to ensure that nonprofits have sufficient resources to meet their missions. MNA
supports amending the language of the General Sales Tax Act – SB 0107 – to clarify that
products purchased by 501(c) 3 and 501(c) 4 organizations to carry out fundraising activities
would be exempt from sales tax thereby ensuring that those dollars could be used to fulfill
their charitable missions.
A motion was made by David Seaman and seconded by David Price to support the above
position statement. Motion carried.

�Kari gave an update on the Michigan Tax Reforms and reported that the tax reform legislation was
passed by both the Senate and House on May 12th, sending it to Governor Rick Snyder for his
signature. The bill eliminates the charitable tax credit, replaces the Michigan Business Tax with a 6
percent corporate income tax, and taxes pensions. MNA will continue to work with the legislature
to introduce an amendment to this legislation.
Kari said that in more positive news the Department of Human Services Appropriations conference
committee approved $678,200 in state funding for the Michigan Community Service Commission
for FY 2012, which houses important programs like AmeriCorps. This is the amount that was
included in the Governor’s FY 2012 budget
Next, Kari gave an update on the Nonprofit Caucus and noted that MNA has a meeting on June 14
with all eight co-chairs to discuss our legislative agenda and MNA is actively recruiting new
members to the caucus.
CMA Endowment Advisory Committee Report
Carolyn Bloodworth said the Committee met to review and recommend approval of the $50,000
partner fund requests as follows:
National Days of Service Mini-grant Program
Support for Regional Convening
Event/Award Support for Giving and Volunteering Day
Support for a Statewide Volunteerism Campaign

Allocation: $15,000
Allocation: $15,000
Allocation: $10,000
Allocation: $10,000

In addition, Rene Zientek reported that after the Ad Hoc Committee met in October 2010. As a
result of that meeting and information provided, staff of the partner organizations met to design a
proposed Fund Allocation Guidelines document, included in the packet, to guide current and future
leaders of the Michigan Nonprofit Association in the allocation of the CMA Endowment proceeds.
The process set forth in this document includes a brief history of the endowment, a review process
that affirmed the donor intent for the endowment proceeds, and specific guidance for FY 20112014.
A motion to accept the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment 2011-2012 Partner Fund
Request and the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Fund Allocation Guidelines was
made by Carolyn Bloodworth and seconded by David Price. Motion carried.
David Eisler thanked the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Committee for their work and
suggested that each award letter should contain language stating that the award being granted is for
a one-year commitment.
Other
Kyle said that he wanted to thank all of the staff of MNA for stepping up to the challenge during the
past year. Kudos to everyone. A warm round of applause followed.

Michigan Nonprofit Association Board of Directors

From:

Kyle Caldwell, President and CEO

Date:

September 12, 2011

Re:

President's Report 1st Quarter FY 2011-12

This report highlights the first quarter activities of our new strategic plan and related strategic
priorities:





MNA will be the recognized and respected voice of Michigan's nonprofit sector.
MNA will provide trusted leadership that assists Michigan's nonprofit sector in adopting
effective advocacy and civic engagement strategies.
MNA will serve Michigan's nonprofit sector by providing resources, convening
organizations and building strategic relationships.
MNA will be a model collaborative work place where people are valued.

Policy
Policy makers at the state and federal levels have been actively engaged in policy changes that
could profoundly impact the nonprofit sector. At the state level, the first wave of the Snyder
Administration's tax reforms will be implemented this December with the elimination of the
Michigan Charitable Tax Credits. The second wave of reforms will include the elimination of
the Personal Property Tax. In addition, the Legislature and Governor have adopted a life-time
cap of certain public assistance resources. At the federal level, the President's Jobs Bill calls for
the cap on charitable deductions. MNA staff have been engaged with the Snyder Administration,
Michigan Legislature, Congress and the White House to help them understand the impact of
these changes on local communities.
Our efforts have also focused on the support of National Service and appropriations for the
Corporation for National and Community Service. Several are expressing concern for the $1
billion in federal funds that support the varying components of National Service including
AmeriCorps, RSVP, Senior Companions, Foster Grandparents, and the zeroed out Learn and
Serve program. MNA will be joining in the Save Service activities and the national service Hill
Day on September 15th.

�The Nonprofit Center at the Armory
MNA has been working with a number of local and statewide
nonprofit organizations about developing a partnership to support
nonprofits in the area and across the state. Today, MNA and the
Capital Area United Way, Michigan Association of United Ways,
Capital Region Community Foundation, and the Food Bank Council
of Michigan have formed the Nonprofit Center Collaborative
(Nonprofit Center).
The Nonprofit Center represents the collaborative efforts of the nonprofits involved, as well as,
the shared services that will be provided to the partners and the greater nonprofit community.
The Nonprofit Center will be housed at the Marshall Street Armory.
According to the owner, Pat Gillespie, the plan remains on track for site completion by October,
2011 and clearance to move into the Armory by November, 2011. Work is completed on the
third floor (offices for the Capital Region Community Foundation), and we are in the final
stages of securing a fifth sublease with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Michigan Capital Region.
In addition, the Gillespie Group has secured an additional nonprofit tenant, the Opportunity
Fund. These new tenants, along with the relocation of the Gillespie Group to the Armory, leave
less than 2,000 square feet available for lease.
The Fund Development Committee Report
will highlight the progress of the Nonprofit
Center campaign. To date, we have
commitments from the MASCO Foundation,
Michigan Health and Hospital Association,
and Clark Hill LLP. Further, we have been
invited to submit proposals for support from
the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation
and the Consumers Energy Foundation.

�Local media coverage of the renovation of the Armory
and the nonprofit tenants is picking up and by all
measures has been quite positive. The Lansing State
Journal featured the Armory on the cover of its
September 6, 2011 issue. This was followed up by a
LSJ opinion column on September 9, 2011 calling the
Armory a significant economic development initiative
for Lansing.
New Talent

recently served as the Executive Director of Common Cause Michigan and was a vital partner in
our Michigan Redistricting Collaborative. Christina is heading all of MNA's policy and
communication efforts. This includes the important work of the Michigan Nonprofit Caucus and
the Caucus Agenda. More immediate responsibilities include the successful implementation of
Nonprofit Day. Christina is joined by a new team member, Meredith Reynolds who will also be
supporting our Membership Services.
As part of MNA's new strategic plan, we have realigned our capacity building services to
increase our intellectual properties, expand our strategic alliances efforts, and support our
Management Services Organizations network. Donna Murray Brown, MNA's Senior Director,
Capacity Building and the Director of the Metro Detroit Partnership recently announced the
addition of Annie McGuigan Fenton as our Capacity Building Manager at MNA. Annie comes to
MNA with a wealth of experience in building the capacity of nonprofits and other community
groups, including over four years managing neighborhood renewal partnerships in Belfast,
Ireland.
Christina and Annie will join the board at the September board meeting.

�Michigan was one of only a handful of states
that increased its mail-in rates from the previous
census, from 69 percent in 2000 to 78 percent
in 2010. The nonprofit community played a
crucial and lead role in raising these numbers. The
following map shows the increase of response
rates in areas targeted by the Nonprofits Count!
Campaign, including: Calhoun, Genesee, Jackson,
Kalamazoo and Kent.

Background

Genesee County
by Minor Civil Division

Based on successful nonpartisan voter engagement efforts in 2008, Michigan Nonprofit Association
(MNA) launched the Michigan Nonprofit Complete Count Committee to engage nonprofits in ensuring
Percentage
Point Change
a complete count for the 2010 Census. Thirty-one organizations joined the committee
to coordinate
their engagement efforts in the 2010 Census – creating the Nonprofits Count! Campaign.-11%
One -of
the
-5%
first in the nation, the campaign was a statewide effort to increase participation in the 2010
Census
-4.99%
- 0%in
communities that were at significant risk of being undercounted.
0.01% - 5%

5.01% - 10%
10.01% - 43%

Why Nonprofits?
Although the Federal government
launched a signficant outreach
campaign, the nonprofit community
was ideally suited to encourage hardto-count communities to mail in their
forms. Nonprofits have an established
trust in their communities through
their services and advocacy efforts.
They speak the community’s language
and they lack the stigma that is often
attached to government workers
resulting in a larger community impact.

Lessons Learned
People Power – Volunteers were crucial
to the success of the Nonprofits
Count! Campaign. Across the state,
1,500 volunteers donated more than
10,000 hours of service to supporting
campaign efforts. Estimating the value
of volunteer time at $20.85 per hour,
these 1,500 volunteers contributed
more than $200,000 to the campaign.
Volunteers helped most frequently
with canvassing, phone banking and
community events.

Diverse Approach – Instead of
prescribing a universal approach for all hard-to-count
communities, the campaign provided a wide variety of
resources to assist local nonprofits with increasing the
count. By creating a menu of options, nonprofits were
able to tailor their activities to best suit the needs of their
communities. In addition to trainings on outreach tactics
and materials on why it is important to be counted,
nonprofits were provided with a media relations toolkit

that included talking points, media relations tips, and sample
press releases.
Support Local Nonprofits/Encourage Field Tactics –
More than $341,000 in mini-grants were awarded
to 38 local nonprofits for public education, outreach,
communications, special events, and mobilizing efforts
specifically aimed at increasing mail returns of census
forms in Michigan communities. The grantees made more

�than 140,000 direct contacts with individuals through
field activities including canvassing, phone banking and
community events.
■■ Canvassing – Urban League of Flint, in coordination
with the Genesee County Complete Count
Committee, organized a citywide census canvassing
day where an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 doors
in hard-to-count areas were knocked on, informing
residents of the importance of the Census.
■■ Phone banking – PW Community Nonprofit Housing
made over 10,000 phone calls in the Brightmoor and
Virginia Park neighborhoods of Detroit to encourage
residents to return their census forms.
■■ Community events – Asian/Pacific Islander Vote
Michigan reached more than 600 Hmong families
at the Hmong Sports Tournament in the Osborne
neighborhood of Detroit.
Be Creative – Developing materials that utilize targeted
language and images to speak to a specific audience was
key to the Nonprofits Count! Campaign. The Inter-Tribal
Council of Michigan created billboards, posters, flyers and
advertisements in local newspapers specifically targeted
to the members of the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians
and the Bay Mills Indian Community living in the area to
promote tribal participation in the Census.
Earned and Paid Media is Your Friend – In addition to
the statewide media campaign that resulted in more
than 30 stories on the Nonprofits Count! Campaign,
several grantees invested in paid advertisements in local
media outlets. For example, the West Michigan Hispanic
Chamber of Commerce utilized its media members, print,
billboards and radio as outlets to communicate with the
Hispanic community about the Census.
Coordinate with Government – Frequent communication
with the U.S. Census Bureau and local complete count
committees was important to avoid duplication of
outreach efforts. Many of the members of the Nonprofit
Complete Count Committee and the campaign
grantees became official partners of the Census and
Questionnaire Assistance Centers.
Common Avenues – Members of the Nonprofit Complete
Count Committee were essential in sharing information
with their own members about the importance of being
counted. Low cost and low capacity communication
vehicles were often used by incorporating Nonprofits
Count! and other census articles in organizations’

newsletters, e-mails, information sessions and workshops
at conferences. Michigan Nonprofit Association included
information about the Census in 19 print and electronic
newsletters from July 2009 to June 2010.
Early Planning is Key – Many of the campaign grantees
commented that funding for the project was
needed sooner to provide for proper planning and
implementation of efforts to increase the census count.
Grantees also stated said that local, state and federal
government officials should start planning now for the
2020 Census to ensure that communities across the state
are better prepared for the next count.

Civic Engagement Cycle
Participation in the Census is just one part of the civic
engagement cycle that also includes advocacy and voter
engagement. One of the hopes of Michigan Nonprofit
Association is that the organizations that participated in
increasing the census count will remain active in the civic
engagement cycle. During focus groups with the grantees,
a number of organizations commented on this idea:
■■ “This work provides a blueprint for how to organize
and how to have an impact on voter engagement.
It’s important to have a history of success on an
advocacy campaign, and this will be the success that
groups can point to.”
■■ “It helps to see how this kind of activity can advance
our mission.”
■■ “The Census helped us build new relationships
with government officials that will help our future
advocacy efforts.”
■■ “The campaign strengthened our partnerships across
the community and, because it was successful, it
reinforced the need for us to work together again in
the future.”

Funders
The campaign would not have been
possible without support from the following
foundations and organizations: Charles Stewart
Mott Foundation, Ford Foundation, Hagedorn
Foundation, Kresge Foundation, Nonprofit Voter
Engagement Network (NVEN), Joyce Foundation
and W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

*North Dakota does not have voter registration. Applying only the non-voter registration metrics – such as all of the voting metrics and the civics score – the
state receives 60% of the possible points (5.4 out of 9). If North Dakota is given 11 points available for voter registration and 1 point for pre-registration, its total
score would be 17.4 out of 21 or 83%, the highest in the country.

Michigan Nonprofit Caucus
2011 Agenda Draft
Action Items for the 96th Legislature Regular Session

Clarify Michigan Sales Tax
Clarify the Sales Tax Exemption for Fundraising Purposes
General Sales Tax Act, Act 167 of 1933; MCL 205.51, et seq.
Pending Legislation: SB 0107 – Senator Hunter
Currently, Michigan’s sales tax law is unclear, creating confusion that raises costs and administrative
burdens for nonprofits and tax collectors. This is not only harmful to nonprofits, which do not have the
additional resources to pay unnecessary taxes, but also to government agencies that must organize the
collection and implementation of tax policies. Further, this stifles the ability of nonprofits to effectively
fundraise as they are unsure of the tax-exempt status of fundraising expenses. On the one hand, Section
4q (MCL 205.54q) exempts from taxation the sale of tangible personal property and vehicles to a
nonprofit that is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) or (c)(4) of the Internal
Revenue Code. Sales qualify as tax-exempt as long as the property is not to be resold and provided that
the property being purchased is used “primarily to carry out the purposes of the organization as stated
in the bylaws or articles of incorporation of the exempt entity.” On the other hand, there are differing
opinions among state regulators, accountants and lawmakers as to whether sales taxes should be
applied to nonprofits’ fundraising expenses.
This confusion could be eliminated by amending Section 4q(2). That subsection states that the
exemption does not apply to “sales of tangible personal property and sales of vehicles” that are not
used “primarily to carry out the purposes of the organization.” If the language “sales of tangible
personal property” were eliminated, then products purchased by 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations to
carry out administrative or fundraising activities would clearly be exempt from sales tax as the law
appeared to intend.
SB 0107 is similar to legislation that was a priority of the initial class of the Michigan Nonprofit Caucus.
While the proposed solution here to the ambiguity described above is different than what was proposed
on SB0107, the Michigan Nonprofit Association supports SB 0107, the amendment of the General Sales
Tax Act to clarify that products purchased by 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations to carry out
administrative or fundraising activities would be clearly exempt from sales tax.

Help Taxpayers and Nonprofits by Simplifying Government Contracting
Create a fair, simple and efficient nonprofit / government grant and contracting process
Current law impact yet to be defined
Revised June 23, 2011

�DRAFT
No pending legislation
Nonprofits of all sizes work in partnership with government at the local, state and federal levels
to provide a wide array of services that communities and citizens demand. More than 60% of
Michigan nonprofits contracting with government are providing human services support. These
programs impact those populations that are most vulnerable. During the current difficult
financial times, nonprofits are experiencing significant challenges partnering with government.
According to the Urban Institute, Michigan ranks 8th worst in the nation for the most
problems with government payments failing to cover the full cost of services for which
governments have contracted with nonprofits. The Urban Institute also documented that
Michigan ranks 8th in the nation for the most problems with governments changing the terms
of contracts during the performance period, making it extremely difficult for nonprofits to
manage their operations.
Other challenges with government contracts in Michigan include inefficient complexities
required for reporting on contracts/grants (Michigan ranks 22 nd in the nation) and delays in
payments for service rendered (Michigan ranks 24th in the nation).
To streamline the process and ensure nonprofits can effectively and sustainably partner with
government to provide services to communities, Michigan should create a Nonprofit One Stop,
modeled after the New Jersey online nonprofit portal
(http://www.njnonprofits.org/nonprofit_web_legislation.html). The Nonprofit One Stop would
include an online resource to provide nonprofits ready access to state contracting and grant
opportunities, online reporting and evaluation data collection, and a Nonprofit Ombudsman to
handle contracting and granting disputes and monitor late payments and other granting and
contracting challenges. The One Stop would include a Nonprofit Business Friendly Index that
would monitor the various taxes, regulatory constraints, and other issues affecting the ability of
nonprofits to serve communities in Michigan.
These and other streamlining measures would remove wasteful, inefficient policies and
practices to ensure that individuals needing services get them when they need them, that
taxpayers receive full value for their investments, and that the lives of citizens and communities
in Michigan are improved.

Prohibit Mandatory and Coercive Demands for Payments in Lieu of Taxes
(PILOTs)
Preserve the Charitable Tax Exempt Status of Nonprofits
Current law impact yet to be defined
No pending legislation

Revised June 23, 2011

�DRAFT
Nonprofits have charitable tax exempt status in Michigan and throughout the country because
of our belief in the right of assembly and the many tangible and intangible benefits that
charitable nonprofits provide to society, including reducing the burdens of governments and
bringing vitality to our communities. Michigan has proudly embedded this notion in law since
1893 (PA 206 of 1893). Yet, recently, in other states some local units of government have begun
seeking ways to take money away from nonprofit missions, evading their states’ constitutions
and statutes by coercing or demanding payments in lieu of property taxes. These schemes to
take money away from nonprofit missions are spreading
(http://www.councilofnonprofits.org/public-policy/state-policy-issues/nonprofits-taxes-pilots).
As Michigan considers an overhaul of the personal property tax system, some units of
government may be tempted to look to nonprofits, churches and other tax-exempt
organizations to try to find other sources of income.
For the benefit of taxpayers and businesses, the State of Michigan should preserve its
longstanding value of respecting the special role that charitable nonprofits provide local
communities and Michiganders by adopting legislation to ensure that our state remains a
PILOT-free zone. Nonprofits cannot afford to shift their limited resources, much of which are
provided by individuals and organizations that believe their gifts will support delivery of vital
services and will not be transferred over to the government. Legislation should reinforce state
property tax laws by barring local municipalities from charging taxes or fees to nonprofits based
on their charitable tax-exempt status.

Provide a Meaningful Seat at the Policy Table for Nonprofits
Create the Office of Nonprofit Solutions
Michigan’s nonprofit sector employs 10 percent of the state’s workforce and generates $108
billion in annual economic activity, yet there is not a single legislative branch committee or
single executive branch official tasked with looking at the health and well-being of this sector.
In order to accommodate the sector upon which so many citizens, local communities, and even
government itself rely, the Caucus would recommend the creation of the Office of Nonprofit
Solutions.
Mirrored on the highly successful Office of Foundation Liaison, the Office of Nonprofit
Solutions would serve as a powerful way to strengthen the partnership between state
government and the state’s charitable organizations. The Office would strengthen
nonprofit/governmental partnerships by establishing 1) better communication with the state
government, 2) better coordination within government, and 3) enhanced data collection
regarding the work of nonprofits.
The Office would have three functions:

Revised June 23, 2011

�DRAFT
Michigan Nonprofit Council: Create a bi-partisan, 16-member Michigan Nonprofit
Council to consider the relationship between government and nonprofits, and make
recommendations on efficiencies, taxpayer savings, contracting issues, research needs,
and improving community-based impact. Council Members would be appointed by the
Governor, the leaders of the Michigan Nonprofit Caucus, Council of Michigan
Foundations, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and Michigan Association of United Ways.
The Council would host an annual summit to inform the Legislature and the public on
solutions and progress.
Interagency Working Group: Establish an Interagency Working Group on Nonprofit
Organizations and the State Government to provide the means for key Executive
Branch officials and the heads of critical state agencies that interact with nonprofits,
such as Department of Human Services, to assess the current inconsistent and often
conflicting state and local policymaking relating to nonprofits. The group will also
provide ideas on how to replace these inconsistencies with a more coordinated process
to achieve better outcomes in addressing state priorities and community challenges.
Data Collection and Research: Task a single, existing state agency or nonprofit
organization with the responsibility of coordinating data collection on nonprofits in
Michigan. The entity would develop metrics on performance and streamline reporting
requirements to better inform the Governor and Michigan Legislature on the impact of
nonprofit organizations. Also create a small ($100,000) state matching grant program to
promote research on improving data collection, enhancing the effectiveness of
nonprofit organizations, and building the capacity of nonprofits for greater
performance.

Network Events: 
MCC held the first Summer Network Retreat July 25‐26 at Northern Michigan University. Forty MCC 
constituents attended for networking and professional development. The Retreat featured several 
workshops and round tables on a variety of topics, an Innovation Series, and keynote speaker Mary 
Beckman from Notre Dame. 
 
Best in Class: Service Leadership Camp will be held at the Sherman Lakes YMCA on September 23‐25, 
2011. Camp is designed to prepare college student leaders to increase civic engagement at their 
campus. This year’s Camp, supported by a grant from the Jenzabar Foundation in partnership with 
National Campus Compact, will also welcome 30 high school seniors as they prepare to be the next 
college student leaders. 
 
MCC Grant Programs Update 
Venture Grants 
MCC received 15 proposals for Cycle 40 of the Venture Grant program, totaling a request of $42,781.58. 
The proposals represented a variety of projects related to student service and engagement from 13 MCC 
member campuses. A peer review committee chose to fully fund 13 of the proposals, for a total of 
$36,479.58. 
 
Funded Programs Update 
The 2010‐2011 Michigan Service Scholars AmeriCorps program has received funding from the 
Corporation for National and Community Service for the 2011‐12 program year. Host sites are currently 
being selected, and members will begin to enroll in October 2011. MSS members have one year to 
complete 300 hours of service for a $1,175 education award. 
 
The Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps*VISTA grant was renewed for the third year of funding 
from the Corporation for National and Community Service. The $181,108 grant will support 20 full time 
VISTA members and 10 Summer Associates for the 2011‐2012 programming year.  
 
MCC will close out the first year of its newest college access and success grant program, College Positive 
Communities on August 31, 2011. Funding for this program was provided by a MCAN grant award, 
through federal College Access Challenge Grant funding, in the amount of $213,437. In the 2010 – 2011 
academic year, MCC awarded 9 College Positive Communities grants and 3 planning grants to member 
campuses to continue work where students serving with youth and adult learners are trained as College 
Positive Volunteers and expose youth to the merits of higher education. MCC is currently awaiting 
federal notification about funding for the 2011‐2012 grant year. 
 
The primary contribution MCC makes through its College Positive Volunteerism (CPV) program is to 
train volunteers and trainers in the College Positive Volunteerism model.  Since the beginning of 2010, 
1 
 

�119 trainings have been held, involving 30 different campuses where 1,213 new college student 
volunteers were trained, along with an additional 188 faculty, staff, national service and community 
members.  In addition, nine College Coaching Corps AmeriCorps members were trained as CPV trainers 
and placed in postsecondary institutions with the specific goal of recruiting and training college student 
CPVs to be placed within youth‐serving organizations, including K‐12 schools.  These volunteers have 
directly served an additional 3,431 youth.  Combined, MCC has served 18,345 youth through its college 
access and success programs. MCC has aligned its CPV program with Michigan’s Local College Access 
Networks so that funded postsecondary institutions are partnering with the LCANs. 
 
Additionally, MCC has received a $5,000 grant from the Lumina Foundation and National Campus 
Compact to hire a web design consultant to develop a Blackboard‐like online learning system for the 
College Positive Volunteerism curriculum. This online learning system will include the capacity for 
tutorials, discussion boards, quizzes and links to college access resources. It will allow MCC to have a 
controlled, organized way to distribute the CPV curriculum and track user data. Currently, MCC is 
working with a web design consultant to create this system on the web platform Edu 2.0. This system 
will be ready for use by the end of August 2011.  
 
Pay it Forward is a collaboration between Michigan Campus Compact, Ohio Campus Compact and 
Kentucky Campus Compact. In the 2010‐2011 academic year, 72 courses in these three states, including 
21 courses on 8 campuses in Michigan, received subawards for their students to practice philanthropy in 
their local communities. In 2010‐2011, Pay it Forward ‐ Michigan engaged close to 500 college students 
in 21 courses on 8 campuses. Michigan Pay it Forward students served over 7,500 hours in the 
community while funding approximately 60 local non profits over $94,500 dollars in grant money.  
 
The Pay it Forward initiative is currently funded completely through the Corporation for National and 
Community Service: Learn and Serve America.  Recent federal budget negotiations and subsequent cuts 
for 2011 (and the 2011‐2012 academic year) have resulted in no funding being appropriated to Learn 
and Serve America for the 2011 fiscal year. However, Pay it Forward has received a no‐cost extension, 
which allows Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky Campus Compacts to use funds from the 2010‐2011 program 
year to fund a limited number of courses. Ten courses in Michigan will be funded at $2,000 per course in 
2011‐2012. Administrative support for these courses will be provided by Ohio Campus Compact. 
 
National Service Update 
17 VISTA members began their year of service by attending a Pre‐Service‐Orientation, put on by the 
Corporation for National and Community Service in Portland, Oregon and attended a three day training, 
put on by Michigan Campus Compact in Lansing. The VISTA’s On‐site Supervisors joined the half of the 
last day of training. Lawrence Technological University (2 VISTAs), Grand Rapids Community College, 
Davenport University, University of Michigan‐Dearborn, Oakland University, Jackson Community College 
(2 VISTAs), Kirtland Community College, Kellogg Community College, Wayne State University, Schoolcraft 
College, Mott Community College, Central Michigan University, Michigan Campus Compact (2 VISTAs, 1 
VISTA Leader).

invited by Peoplemovers to speak at the event on behalf of the SEMVC. The weekend events
culminated with a community concert in a public park with more than 52,000 individuals in attendance.
The SEMVC’s leadership team manned a booth at the concert event to launch its new survey: Serve the
D, a survey designed to learn more about those who volunteer in the region.

Highway T Revised Business Model / Strategy
The Highway T team developed and presented a revised business model / strategy to the Highway T
Advisory Board with the goal of establishing a more sustainable business model:
Key to the revised business model includes the following four (4) key strategic principles:

- Subscription Services
- Freemiums (free + premium services)
- Partnership Networking
The revised business model impacts all areas of Highway T including: Managed Care Services,
Professional Services, and Educational Services.
Technology Capacity for Arts and Culture Organizations in Southeast Michigan
The Highway T team successfully completed technology assessments and technical assistance for a total
of 31 organizations funded by the Kresge Foundation over a three year period. An external assessment
and final report were conducted and submitted to the Kresge Foundation in the month of August. Both
the external evaluation and final report communicated very positive feedback from the receiving
organizations regarding sustainable impact in the area of technology capacity building.
Managed Care
The Highway T team is currently providing managed care technical support to ten (10) organizations
encompassing 9 servers and 173 desktops. This is an increase of 47% in more desktops from the same
time last year.
An enhanced tiered servicing/pricing model has been developed to more attractive alternatives / levels
of support to clients of varying sizes.

Highway T will be attending the 2011 UP Nonprofit Conference and providing “Curbside Assistance” to
attendees.
Tentative plans are in progress to offer “Curbside Assistance” to a one day conference hosted by
Jackson’s Nonprofit Network in early November.

�A collaborative partnership with software vendor Giftworks is in progress. MNA membership along with
Highway T are in discussion to provide discount software rates to MNA members and tailored training
and educational assistance to MNA members.

                    <text>The LEAGUE Michigan Update
The LEAGUE Michigan is a program for service, service-learning and philanthropy education
that builds character and empowers young people to “do good” in their community, the nation,
and the world. Central to this work is the Learning to Give curriculum, which provides over
1,500 lesson plans aligned to state standards for use by K-12 educators. The three major
components of the program are teacher trainings, the service and leadership camp for students and
the placement of national service members throughout the state.
Currently
We are in a 177 schools, totaling 875 classrooms and 108 districts and roughly 16,000 students in
the state of Michigan, including four school districts, consisting of Carson City-Crystal, Jackson,
Pinckney and Romulus. The schools consist of a mix of public, private and charter schools.
Update/Opportunties
2011 Service and Leadership Camp
On July 22 – 24, we hosted the 2011 Service &amp; Leadership Camp in conjunction with Learn and Serve
Michigan for over 150 students and teachers from across the state of Michigan. The campers participated
in Challenge Day, which inspired them to be the change they wish to see in the world, starting with
themselves, through compassion and service; participated in a service project that led to us feeding 10,000
people in Michigan, the United States and Africa; took part in sessions that focused on communication,
environment, fundraising, poverty, youth leadership and youth philanthropy; and on Sunday provided the
campers an opportunity to use everything they had learned throughout the weekend to develop a plan for
their school of how they are going to integrate service, service-learning and philanthropy education during
the upcoming school year. In addition there were ongoing service projects throughout the weekend and
we had Jeff Yalden present on leadership and service, while motivating the students to help them realize
they can make a difference and Sean Forbes, who spoke about finding your passion and reaching your
goals. Overall, the campers (students and teachers) left feeling energized and motivated to make a
difference in their schools and to help us grow The LEAGUE Michigan.

2011 Fisher Trainings
Throughout the summer, The LEAGUE Michigan completed 4 Fisher Trainings sponsored by the
Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation, Meijer and State Farm in Battle Creek, Detroit,
Grand Rapids and Sault Ste. Marie. Each 3 ½ day training is designed to assist teachers in
integrating service, service-learning and philanthropy education into their classroom during the
upcoming school year. A big focus for the training is to help the teachers understand the needs
of non-profits and begin to develop partnerships that they can use for the future. As a result of
this, we formed local partnerships that assist The LEAGUE Michigan in hosting, training and
providing resources with the United Way of the Eastern Upper Peninsula Volunteer Center, the
Chippewa County Community Foundation, HandsOn Battle Creek, the Battle Creek Community
Foundation and the Grand Rapids Community Foundation and the Volunteer Center at the United
Way for Southeastern Michigan, as well as several other local organizations in each perspective
community. In total, 78 teachers across the state were trained and ready to engage their students
in making a difference!

�Moving Forward
The LEAGUE Michigan is currently in the process of working with teachers and administrators
to begin to the 2011 – 2012 school year and are working to continue to grow and expand
partnerships throughout the state.

Members of the MNA Executive Committee

From: John Schneider, Chair, Fund Development Committee
Date: August 22, 2011
Re:

Development Activities First Quarter FY 2011-12

MNA Strategic Fund
Our annual campaign is well underway and as with last year, our goal of full board engagement
has launched with 12 board members giving or pledging to date. The Fund Development
Committee is working to ensure that it has full participation by the September Executive
Committee meeting. I would strongly encourage all Executive Committee members to do the
same. If you require pledge materials, please let me or Kathy Cooney know, and we will follow
up.
Nonprofit Center Update
MNA has formed a partnership with the Capital Region Community Foundation, Capital Area
United Way, Food Bank Council of Michigan, and the Michigan Association of United Ways.
Most recently the partnership added Big Brothers Big Sisters of Michigan Capital Region. The
Center Partners will lead and develop a sustainable Nonprofit Center that provides local
resources to nonprofits and the constituencies they serve while creating new efficiencies for the
partner organizations. A $875,000 campaign was proposed and adopted by the MNA Board of
Directors at the June, 2011 meeting. Here is a list of commitments and prospects:
Consumers Energy Foundation
Herbert H. &amp; Grace A. Dow Foundation
Michigan Health and Hospital Association
Clark Hill, PLC

$125,000
$200,000
$ 5,000
$ 5,000

wrap this project up the first quarter of 2011-2012 with a printed report.
Existing Grants – CASM: &lt;402,453&gt;. This grant was awarded to help build strategic alliances with
cultural arts organizations in the Detroit area. The project is behind budget as we wait for the strategic
alliances to submit for allocated grant dollars.
Existing Grants – Recover MI: &lt;321,307&gt;. This grant requires that $300,000 in capacity building
grants be issued. Due to timing the grants were not issued until July 1, 2011 and therefore no income
was recorded, as this is a reimbursement grant from the Federal Government.
Consulting: +15,646. This line item is ahead of budget due to additional clients being brought on to
Highway T’s managed care platform.
Sponsorships: &lt;258,000&gt;. This line item is behind as a result of sponsored furniture for the Armory.
Miscellaneous Income: +3,792. This line item is ahead of budget due to additional ad space being
purchased in our MNA Links publication.

Expenses

(negative expense items reflect a positive impact on the bottom line.)

Office Expenses: &lt;367,883&gt;. This line item is lower than projected as furniture for the Nonprofit
Center was budgeted.

Printing and Publications: &lt;37,335&gt;. This line item represents a budget savings due to the delay in
printing materials for several grants.
Travel: &lt;60,417&gt;. This line item represents a cost savings in travel due to staff finding ways to
reduce expenses.
Grants &amp; Sponsorships: &lt;521,433&gt;. This line item is lower than projected as several grants are given
on a reimbursement basis, and recipients have not submitted requests.
Professional Development: +19,959. This line item is ahead of the budgeted amount as we utilized
consultants for strategic planning, implementation and parallel learning.
Miscellaneous Expenses: +7,708. This line item is ahead of the budgeted amount as teachers were
given stipends to attend trainings, for the LEAGUE.

Re: Recommendation to form Ad Hoc Committee on Diversity and Inclusion
Recommendation
MNA staff recommends that the Board of Directors develop an Ad Hoc Committee on Diversity
and Inclusion that will focus on helping the board demonstrate the organization’s values of
becoming a diverse and inclusive organization. The Committee would be charged with
developing a set of recommendations for establishing diversity and inclusion as a value, priority
and practice of the MNA Board of Directors.
Background
Over the past 25 years, organized philanthropy has examined and debated the rationale for
diversity and inclusion in response to: changing demographics of our nation and the communities
served by foundations; recognition of the connection between understanding the unique
perspectives of those communities and effective strategies for addressing their needs; pressure
from Congress and the media for greater accountability and transparency; and encouragement
and support from infrastructure organizations such as the Council of Michigan Foundations
(CMF).
In recognition of this growing awareness and need for change within the philanthropic sector,
CMF, as part of its 2001 strategic planning process involving more than 250 individuals (CMF
trustees, members from community, corporate, family and independent foundations and
corporate giving programs and CMF staff), began defining its commitment to diversity and
inclusion and encouraging members to make a similar commitment (Phase 1). This commitment
– grounded in the connection between diversity and inclusion and foundation effectiveness and
accountability – is reflected in the CMF board actions taken between 2002 and 2009. These
actions included the creation of the Transforming Michigan Philanthropy (TMP) Through
Diversity and Inclusion Initiative.

�Staff members of MNA were invited to participate in Phase 1 of this initiative through the Peer
Action Learning Network (PALN). This provided staff the opportunity to learn about the
potential benefits, challenges and opportunities adopting inclusive practices can do to help build
more diverse organizations. In addition, MNA’s CEO was invited to serve on the advisory
council of the TMP initiative.
Over the course of the past year, MNA staff members have worked to develop the organization’s
values and practices to become more inclusive. Our efforts have included conducting
assessments, training, and reflection activities with staff to begin the important process of
understanding how the organization’s current culture either promotes of discourages inclusive
behaviors.
Moving forward, MNA staff members believe that their work can and should be deepened within
the organization to include not only the work of staff, but also the work of the MNA Board of
Directors and even perhaps MNA’s external work with nonprofits.
As CEO, I have directed two staff to lead simultaneous and connected efforts to build the
capacity of the staff and board in this important work. Donna Murray Brown will work with the
MNA Board of Directors and Diana Rodriguez Algra will work with the MNA staff. As a team,
Donna and Diana will work with me and the Chair of the Board Development Committee to
coordinate these efforts.
Attached is a draft white paper developed by the staff to guide the efforts of the two bodies of
work.

�Diversity and Inclusion in the Nonprofit Sector:
A Leadership Role for the Michigan Nonprofit Association
Vision: A diverse and inclusive nonprofit sector that embraces and promotes diversity and
inclusion practices that lead to building stronger communities.
Mission: MNA embraces and promotes the policies, practices and benefits of being a diverse and
inclusive organization to strengthen our organization and the nonprofit sector.
Strategies:
1. Build MNA into an organization that is recognized as a leader in diversity and inclusion in
the nonprofit sector.
2. Develop tools and opportunities for nonprofits in Michigan to learn and embrace best
practices in diversity and inclusion.
Goals:
1. Codify diversity and inclusion as a value, priority and practice of the MNA Board of
Directors.
2. Embrace diversity and inclusion as a value, priority, and practice of the MNA staff.
3. Create diversity and inclusion resources for nonprofit capacity building.
Framework:
1. Board Development
a. Understanding: What is Diversity and what is Inclusion?
Sample definitions:
Diversity: is the face of an organization…who is involved as board, staff, volunteers,
donors and clients (members).
Inclusiveness: describes how people from all backgrounds are involved in their
organization, how their perspectives are valued, and how their needs are
understood.
Develop the shared understanding among the board members as to the meaning of
both, purpose and benefits of effective diverse and inclusive practices. Discuss why
it is important and how it connects with the strategic plan of the organization.
Understand our starting point-where are we right now? (Review demographic data
of the state and other pertinent data to gain an understanding of where we are right
now in this changing demographic landscape). Is the current composition of the
governance board reflective of the demographic served by the organization?
Revision 9/9/11

�b. Vision: What improvements would we want from the Board? Based on a shared
understanding, develop a vision for the organization’s leadership for how diversity
and inclusion will play a role in the organization’s governance? What does success
look like?
c. Policy: How do we get to the mission? How will MNA’s Board articulate its
commitment to diversity and inclusion? The Board’s vision and understanding can
only be effective and sustained if it is able to articulate its intensions in formal
policies. What behaviors would we want to see?
d. Practice: Once established, the policies of the board must be practiced, monitored
and evaluated for effectiveness and relevance. And how will we measure our
milestones/goal?
e. Promotion: How will the Board advance its vision? MNA is a leadership
organization that seeks to promote best practices. The Board’s role in the
promotion of diversity and inclusion needs to be demonstrated and shared.
Diversity and inclusion policy framework should include:


A values statement about the organization’s commitment to issues of
diversity and equity
 A brief statement of the added value that implementing this policy will bring
to the work of the board – for example, making better decisions
 A concrete statement of objectives
 A set of milestones that the board would like to achieve
 An accountability framework for achieving these
 Information on resources to be used to ensure implementation
 An accompanying operational plan that outlines, in priority, the steps taken
to reach each goal
These suggested/recommended steps to occur as part of the work of the adhoc Diversity
and Inclusion committee:

Revision 9/9/11

Assess the current state of governance practices and identify gaps
Develop draft by-laws, policies and procedures to improve and clarify
governance
Recruit new board members
Ensure board orientation and ongoing development needs are met
Ensure committees have a Terms of Reference
Review and make recommendations to the board concerning board
composition,
Board size, board structures, board policies and procedures, by-law
amendments
Board attendance
Assess board perception of organization’s level of diversity and inclusion

�2. Staff Development
a. Understanding: What is Diversity and Inclusion?
Sample definitions:
Diversity: is the face of an organization…who is involved as board, staff, volunteers,
donors and clients (members).
Inclusiveness: describes how people from all backgrounds are involved in their
organization, how their perspectives are valued, and how their needs are
understood.
b. Develop the shared understanding among the staff as to the meaning of both,
purpose and benefits of effective diverse and inclusive practices. Discuss why it is
important and how it connects with the strategic plan of the organization.
Understand our starting point-where are we right now? (Review demographic data
of the state and other pertinent data to gain an understanding of where we are right
now in this changing demographic landscape). Is the current composition of the
staff reflective of the demographic served by the organization?
c. Vision: What change would we want from the staff? Based on a shared
understanding and direction from the Board, develop a vision for the day-to-day
function of the organization for how diversity and inclusion will play a role in the
organization’s operations? What will success look like for the staff portion of the
plan?
d. Policy: How will MNA’s staff articulate their commitment to diversity and inclusion?
The staff understanding can only be effective and sustained if it is able to articulate
its intensions in formal policies. What changes could we make to a number of our
internal personnel policies and practices? How do we seek new vendors? Do we
maintain an updated list of minority and women business owners to refer to? How
often do we use these vendors in our own work? When we seek to add new staff
what outreach steps do we undertake to diverse and inclusive organizations?
e. Practice: What behaviors would we want to see? Once established, the policies of
the organization must be practiced, monitored and evaluated for effectiveness and
relevance. How will we measure our milestones/goal? If we do our job right we will
be able to see: improved problem solving, increase creatively, and innovation,
improved teamwork, and increased flexibility and ability to learn from people at all
levels of the organization. In addition, we might experience less staff turnover and
be in a position to more effectively attract and retain qualified staff.

Re:

CONFIDENTIAL: Partnership Discussions with Data Driven Detroit

Donna Murray Brown, MNA’s Senior Director of Capacity Building and Director of MNA
Metro Detroit Partnership, was approached by Kurt Metzger, Director of Data Driven
Detroit(D3) about a possible partnership. D3 is currently housed at City Connect Detroit.
Neither Kurt nor his funders (the Kresge and Skillman Foundations) see that as a long term fit.
I charged Donna with determining if in fact there was a mission-aligned opportunity or whether
MNA should encourage Kurt to seek a different potential partner. After several conversations,
both Kurt and Donna approached me with clear rationale for a potential partnership.
MNA’s potential interests revolve around our need to bolster our existing data work. Our
Nonprofit Research program has functioned, but struggled given our lack of expertise in this
area. D3 has a solid reputation for both community and nonprofit research.
D3 wants a better home and the opportunity to be deeper in the nonprofit sector in the Detroit
Region and statewide. Kurt also generally would like to be with a more sophisticated and
statewide nonprofit that would propel their mission. In our initial talks we explored many
options, but Kurt was fixated on becoming independent and only wanted an administrative agent
to process grants and payroll. We let him know that MNA is not in the incubation business and
that superficial model would not work for us.

�In our latest recent talks, we highlighted MNA’s current work with our affiliates (Michigan
Campus Compact, Volunteer centers of Michigan) and programs (Highway T) to advance our
mutual goals and recently aligned mission. This was appealing to Kurt and he began to see that
an independent nonprofit organization was not necessarily what he wanted.
Kurt expressed that he would now like to move forward in partner talks. These talks would not
be in the form of a merger given that D3 is a program and not an independent 501c3 nonprofit.
However, given the deep interest of some of our mutual donors in the Southeastern Michigan
region, staff would like to suggest that MNA and D3 engage in a facilitated partnership
discussion to ensure that all parties are clear and able to craft a partnership agreement if possible.
Therefore, MNA staff recommends that D3 and MNA engage in partnership discussions to
determine if and how D3 and MNA might work together to serve the nonprofit sector.
If the Executive Committee approves, staff would like to ask if Bill Liebold would facilitate this
discussion. Staff anticipates that the talks should take no longer than one month. A
recommendation our update would be provided to the Executive Committee at their December 2,
2011 meeting.

F&lt; CENTERS OF

MICHIGAN
To: Michigan Nonprofit Association Board of Directors
From: Diana V. Rodriguez Algra, Executive Director
Date: June 1, 2011
Re: VCM Quarterly Report
Below you will find some key highlights of our work this past quarter.
Volunteer Generation Fund
You will recall that in our March 2011 report we announced that the MCSC selected seven
sub-grantees to implement this initiative at the local level. Those selected were:
• Allegan County United Way and Volunteer Center
• Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan
• Resource Genesee
• Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo
• Volunteer Lenawee!
• United Way &amp; Volunteer Connections of Montcalm and Ionia Counties
• Volunteer Center of West Michigan (formerly Volunteer Muskegon)
The sites are progressing along. They will host their second gathering of grantees on June 9,
2011.
On May 17, 2011 the MCSC submitted its second year renewal application to the CNC. Since
no new dollars were allocated at the federal level, the application request went in with the
same level of support as our first year. We have great expectations for this initiative and
hope to be able to bring others in our network on board in the coming years.
The centers selected for funding were involved in HandsOn Connect Software trainings all of
March and April. May-August will see them in local partner training on the software. Our hope
is to have all seven of them up and operating by September 1, 2011.
Volunteer Centers of Michigan continues to work in partnership with the Michigan Community
Service Commission and the Volunteer Michigan Grantees to develop and present relevant
training. Needs assessments were completed by the volunteer centers and another by their
nonprofit partners. The assessments were reviewed and results tabulated to identify areas of
need. A summary was presented and reviewed with the Volunteer Michigan grantees.
An initial presentation and training was done as a part of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan
retreat on the topic of Skill-based Volunteers. This webinar presented material in follow up to
an initial introductory webinar that was presented on the topic in January 2010. This second
webinar focused on specific implementation steps and best practices as piloted by volunteer
centers across the nation. Additional webinars are in development. These webinars will be
taped so that they can be made available to all volunteer centers through the Volunteer
Centers of Michigan's website on the resource tab. Site visits have been scheduled for the
purpose of planning and to identify training needs specific to each sub-grantee.

�In addition, Volunteer Centers of Michigan shared information and resources with the Iowa
Commission on Community Service. VCM's trainer, Sandra Miller, presented to the Iowa
Volunteer Generation sub-grantees to share lessons learned and resources developed by
Michigan start up centers. A second presentation was made to share the Skill-based
Volunteer training. The participants included the Iowa Volunteer Generation sub-grantees as
well as representatives from other Iowa Volunteer Centers.
VCM AmeriCorps'VISTA
The VCM'VISTA program currently has six VISTA members serving in Volunteer Centers
throughout the state and one VISTA Leader who is housed at MNA's Detroit office.
During the past quarter, the VCM'VIST A members made huge strides in building capacity for
their Volunteer Centers to meet community needs and develop poverty alleviation initiatives:
• Ben Crockett who is serving at Char-Em United Way has given several talks on the
nature of poverty and the power of volunteering to civic organizations over the past
months. These presentations were met with positive responses and volunteer
registrations. Ben also phoned previous volunteers who have worked on projects in
the past to reconnect them with service ideas.
• Anthony Sacco, who is serving at Volunteer Lenawee!, has initiated a partnership with
the Tri-County Financial Stability Coalition to promote and advocate for financial
literacy and self-sufficiency.
• Anton Allen, who is serving in the Jackson Volunteer Center, organized a team to
compete in Cooks for Books. Cooks for Books is a cook-off with a storybook theme!
Teams of cooks developed a theme for their samples based on a children's book title.
Cooking Teams prepared their favorite recipes for 100-150 people to sample and vote
on. All proceeds from this event went to support Jackson's Dolly Parton's Imagination
Library.
• Meg han MacDonald, who is serving at Volunteer Center of Great Kalamazoo, started
working on the Student Athlete Volunteer Program. She will be working with the
Athletic Directors and Coaches of the 10 Varsity football teams in the area. Meghan
will focus on connecting the teams with large group volunteer opportunities. She will
also serve as a reference for any of the teams and organizations who may have
questions about the program.

MNA SuperConference
This year our Civic Engagement Track had a number of excellent sessions. Below you will
note the session and the number of participants that participated.
• Brian Williams-Using Service as a Strategy to More Aggressively Meet Your Mission-95
• Amy Smith-Reimagining Service: Converting Good Intentions into Greater lmpact-75

In addition to the Civic Engagement workshop track sessions listed above, the conference
included an evening "Celebrating Service" dinner and plenary attended by 300 individuals.
Our featured speaker for the evening was Brian Williams, Executive Director of HandsOn
Nashville and recipient of the 2010 George W. Romney Excellence Award. During this evening
even/. we celebrated the Volunteer Centers of Michigan's 20th Anniversary. A special
publication was developed to highlight the work of the network and the key benchmarks of

�the last twenty years. Copies of these are included in your Board packets. We also revealed
our new logo.
Comcast Collaboration Initiative Funding
The final year of Comcast Collaborative sub-granting has come to a conclusion. This threeyear funding cycle focused on increasing volunteerism around the issues of literacy and
mentoring. Sub-grantee project and outcome summaries are below:
•

•

Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan and Southwest Michigan Mentoring
Collaborative-A qualitative needs assessment survey was administered through
interviews to 21 organizations and through email to 35 organizations that mentor
children representing various geographic and demographic populations in Berrien,
Cass and Van Buren Counties. 75% of those surveyed have registered with the
Volunteer Center and/or Mentor Michigan web sites. In response to the survey,
informational planning meetings and trainings were held in all three counties and
several hundred posters have been successfully distributed to businesses in the tricounty area. Hundreds of Andrews University students were also provided with
information about mentoring. Ultimately the groundwork has been laid through this
grant and over 60 mentors have been recruited, 600 informational mentoring
booklets and 200 posters were created and distributed throughout the area.
Macomb Community College and Ben Ross Academy-Initial grant plans for Macomb
Community College were interrupted when their original partner, Pinewood
Elementary School pulled out of the program. A second collaborative partnership was
formed with Ben Ross Academy to implement a Lunch Buddies Mentoring Program.
Macomb students were recruited to serve the elementary students and 10 mentors
were solidified. Shifts in programs have led to an excess of unexpended funds. The
collaborative was granted an extension to launch two mentor programs in the fall, one
with an early college program that partners with local high schools and another for
first year college students who are labeled at-risk that would be in conjunction with
the academic unit.
Grand Rapids Community College and Kent County Mentoring Collaborative-In an
effort to build infrastructure for the KCMC and to increase college student civic
engagement in addressing community needs around youth mentoring, KCMC and
GRCC have served 20 different mentoring programs who in turn serve over 2000
youth. Thirteen recruitment events were held and over 400 youth and 175 college
student mentors participated in at least one of the 15 educational forum or mentor
events. A total of 98 new college students are mentoring youth in KCMC programs
since the beginning of the grant. Mentoring organizations report an increase of 213
mentors since the program started. Three county-wide recognition events were also
held to honor, celebrate and thank mentors.
Michigan State University and the Capital Area United Way-Through this grant,
MSU and CAUW were working to build the capacity of youth transitioning out of
foster care to successfully obtain a post-secondary degree, consistent with each
youth's talents, dreams and life plans. The Foster Youth Alumni Services program
worked with MSU Housing and the Kellogg Center on the campus to ensure that all
students needing access to housing over breaks; through the University Development
office students engaged in the FYAS Care package program. Over three years, 175
care packages were delivered to foster youth during exam weeks. A unique
opportunity was made available where high school-aged foster care youth and college
students prepared speeches and spoke to a listening panel of over 50 policymakers
from across the University, several state departments, private agencies, the courts,
and the Michigan Legislature. The Comcast grant funded six mentor trainings over the
last three years, resulting in over 50 mentors being trained, 16 mentors signing up to

�•

mentor students and 13 successfully being matched with foster youth. A Foster Youth
Alumni Services Website Cb.ttt:&gt;:!Lw_wwJini'lJ&lt;:l,rnsu.ed;Ji.fYa.sl"RR&lt;lnti'Li'l~Q) was also
created to provide information about several on and off campus resources for
students and 53 foster care youth have taken advantage of the website.
Northern Michigan University and Teaching Family Homes-NMU students are
trained as mentors and serve with foster children from Teaching Family Homes. They
engage in a monthly series of activities which encourage conversation, service, and
positive relationships. During the 2010-11 academic year over 30 foster youth were
recruited to participate in the program. NMU was on a delayed grant cycle due to their
academic year and was given permission to submit their final cumulative report in
June. More grant outcomes are expected at that time.

Although the original three-year grant cycle has concluded, NMU, GRCC and Macomb
collaboratives have requested additional time to expend remaining grant funds. Volunteer
Centers of Michigan has agreed to provide a no-cost extension to these sub-grantees and will
continue to monitor progress through May 2012. A final report of grant outcomes will be
submitted to the Comcast Foundation in August 2011.
Michigan Student Service Awards
Recently during the conclusion of the 2010-2011 school-years, 141 high school seniors across
Michigan were recognized through VCM's Michigan Student Service Award program for
completing at least 400 hours of community service during their high school tenure. These
students served a combined total of over 57,000 hours in their local communities. The
number of awarded graduated seniors increased 48% from last year. Michigan Student
Service Award certificates were signed by Governor Snyder and distributed to the following
Volunteer Centers: United Way of the Eastern Upper Peninsula, United Way of Bay County
Volunteer Center, the Volunteer Center of Dickinson Iron Community Service Agency, Greater
Ottawa County United Way Volunteer Center, the Volunteer Center of West Michigan
(Volunteer Muskegon). HandsOn Battle Creek, the Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo,
