The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project set out to expand the popular definition of philanthropy and to take this ambitious project into schools and homes throughout the nation, and the world. The broad definition includes the giving of time, talent, and private citizen action for the common good, without regard for the age or economic status of the giver. The visionary nature of the project has been based on organizing a movement, rather than to sell products. The founders have been motivated by the “felt need” of their own experience in working closely with youth for over a decade, and their combined expertise in leading and funding national social change efforts. As we seek to expand the project, we are reaching out for help in designing our business strategy. We realize we are selling ideas and behaviors, as well as potential tangible products. Pundits might even call us “social entrepreneurs.” We need to translate the successful research and development results or our first three years, in to a self-sustaining endeavor of national and inter-national scale. Following is a status report on each aspect of the project: Curriculum Products Standards, strands, benchmarks (This is the written set of learning expectations defining what students should know about philanthropy and be able to do by grades 5, 8, and 11.) There are four major “standards”. Within each standard, there are a series of sub-groups of ideas further refining what should be known. Finally, under each of the strands are a series of very specific benchmarks that define what the student should know. This work is completed and now needs to be edited. An overview of the Standards and Strands and a sample of the benchmarks follows at the end of this paper. Over the summer of 2000, the elementary teachers (Grades K-5) will be developing a grade level by grade level set of outcomes that build toward the fifth grade benchmark. Sample lesson plans. This work is 50 percent completed. We expect to have them completed by June 2001 or sooner. Over one hundred lessons are finished and are on the Web-site. Speed of completion is a function of finances. We have the lesson plan writers available but cannot afford to hire them full-time for a year, which is what the project will take to complete the sample lessons quickly. �Service-learning/experiential component. While the project is focused on concepts and ideas, within each unit there is a “hands-on” experiential component called service-learning. For example, a unit on the role and history of the Red Cross may have the students spend a day working on stocking a food cabinet in support of disaster relief at the local Red Cross Chapter. Each unit has this component. Family support. Starting this summer, “Family Recipes” are being infused into current curriculum as a value-add. These provide families with specific ideas for assisting their child in learning the philanthropy content. National lesson plan competition. The competition is being launched with the Spring 2000 newsletter. Standardized Assessments 1) Developing ability to move into national standardized tests. The Test is designed and half the questions are written. 2) We plan to pilot-test the questions on students in the fall of 2000. 3) We plan to assemble three test booklets and field-test them nationally during the winter of 2001. The final product will be two validated test booklets for grades 5, 8 and 11 (for a total of six tests) plus banked, validated questions for future tests. Teacher Development All lessons are written by practicing classroom teachers who work in an environment of strong state-mandated learning objectives. The state objectives closely parallel the national educational proposed standards. Teacher Testing of Lessons as a Buy-In Strategy Each lesson is being field-tested by five other teachers: three in Michigan, two in other states. Nine hundred teachers from 36 states have volunteered to field-test. Curriculum Support Products Definitions for Students The initial list is completed and on the World Wide Web site: K12edphil.org Lexicon for Teachers The initial list is being compiled and attached to the curriculum. Briefing Papers for Teachers Eighteen are completed and on the Web. Twenty more are in process. Bibliographies We have completed the annotated children’s literature by grade level. Teacher bibliography is completed, on the Web and being updated. �Timeline Philanthropy timelines, historic events, initial U.S. history, world history, Michigan history are completed and on the Web. Biographies (people and organizations) Ten are completed and being edited. Nonprofit Careers Internet Links to related web-sites on nonprofit careers. Lending Library of Books and Materials/Web sales This component of the project, which has enormous long-term potential, is under development. Videos of Leading Nonprofit Thinkers We are compiling a bank of videos about leading nonprofit thought-leaders. John Gardner, founder of Common Cause, and the Independent Sector is completed. A Russ Mawby, Chairman Emeritus of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation video needs editing, for example. Textbook, Teacher Guide, Student Guide and CD-ROM The book outline, book development and CD-ROM development process are completed. We need approximately $400,000 and a publisher in order to write and produce the book. The book will have content in economics, geography, government, history, English language arts and visual and performing arts. Calendar of Annual Philanthropy Dates A month by month calendar of the annual dates celebrated in the general culture (Memorial Day), days specific to philanthropy (Make a Difference Day), and other related days (Kawanza) and how these days might be used to teach philanthropic behavior. Ready for final editing. Wish List Following is a list of ideas we could produce with time and support: 1) Original children’s literature. 2) Original theater, music, dance, movies. A Chicago musician is writing original music. He will share the print versions for our newsletter for the option of advertising. We would like to buy the permanent royalty rights. He is willing to compose and perform the music on video and audio-tape, provide the print music and a teacher lesson guide for $10,000 per song for the permanent royalty rights. 3) Print possibilities: Classroom posters and materials. Workbooks. Games. �Collateral material such as T-shirts, bags, coffee mugs, etc. Teacher Professional Development (could be both vehicle and a product) Summer Residential Institutes Summer 1999 30 new teachers/CEU and graduate credit was offered. Each teacher produced a new unit for the curriculum. Summer 2000 50 new teachers scheduled for Michigan. 30 new teachers scheduled for Kansas. 20 new teachers potentially from another Michigan county. Four additional counties interested in involvement during the 2000-2001 school year. Philanthropy Educators Association The membership association, with special Web access, is under development and will be announced at the summer institutes. Market research is completed on a selected group of related national and state professional educators’ associations that will inform our work. Inservice and Curriculum Development, district by district Michigan districts currently interested include Calhoun, Eaton, Marquette and Berrien counties. Private foundations will support this effort. Masters Degree Program Discussion is underway with Ferris State University. Michigan produces one out of every 10 teachers in the nation and has major teacher education programs. Michigan State University (which is evaluating this project) has the No. 1 college of education in the country. Undergraduate Teacher Preparation The preparation will be conducted within the disciplines in colleges of education. This is currently under discussion with Grand Valley State University. Web-site (vehicle and a product?) Curriculum, lessons, material online for teachers everywhere Web-site is up and hosted by Michigan State University. Soon moving to a .org address to allow for e-commerce. Links to purchase books These will be installed after the new web host is established. Each lesson has a bibliography. We would like to link from within the lesson to a sales opportunity to purchase the books listed in the bibliography. Member teacher site A member-only access page for teachers is currently under consideration and must be resolved by the time the new teacher organization is launched this spring. �Ideas Web-site room for students for interactive homework and games. Web-site room for parents. Meta-site This concept is to have one major Web-site for all philanthropy project Internet activity. We have identified and linked to many related sites. To be developed, for example, is a link between an individual lesson-DeToqueville and the importance of associational life in the United States-to the DeToqueville Home Page. Other Family Foundation Book Containing timelines, calendars and activities, the book is drafted and going through the first edit. It should be available by late spring. The major question is whether we should publish it ourselves or hire an outside professional publisher. Family Involvement Research This original educational research is ready for editing and publication. Mailing List Newsletter mailing list of over 8,000 teachers and organizations nationally and internationally interested in the project. State and National Joint Ventures IU/GVSU/U of M/Case Western Briefing papers/Test Question Writing Underway. Urban Institute National Textbook Survey Beginning. GuideStar Joint “click-over” and lesson plans. Underway. Ohio/Michigan Joint venture on youth grant-making Corporation for National in philanthropy. Service International Inquiries and Potential Markets Unsolicited, direct inquiries about replicating the project have been received from Australia, England, Brazil, Bulgaria, South Africa, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Japan. The project was discussed at the first White House Conference on Philanthropy in the fall, 1999. In addition, the project will be presented at the International Society for Third Sector Research in Dublin, Ireland in June 2000. �Finally, the Council of Michigan Foundations, through the network of international grantmakers, has access to educational leaders in countries around the world. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Stone President Archetech, Inc. 4201 Cathedral Avenue, NW #1008W Washington, D.C. 20016 Dear Mr. Stone: Dorothy Johnson, President of the Council of Michigan Foundations, has talked with you about our K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project. We are delighted by your interest and hopeful that you will be able to help us in strategically taking this unique project to scale nationally and internationally. Enclosed are materials that may be helpful. They include:  A brief public relations brochure introducing the project. On the back of the brochure is our web-site. You will find the full text of the case statement for the project and other useful information at this site.  The DRAFT set of themes that are the organizing structure for the curriculum development. These describe what we hope the student will know and be able to do at grades 5, 8, and 11. We are in the process of developing standardized student achievement tests based on these themes. In addition, the lessons being created will teach the learning outcomes identified.  Two samples of high school level lessons. These are original works created by classroom teachers. They have been piloted, reviewed by an independent Fairness Review Committee, field-tested in the classrooms of teachers not involved with the project, and edited against state and national educational standards. They are designed to be infused in to the current educational curriculum, not layered on top. We currently have 100 of these tested lessons, K-12, public and private schools. Another 300+ are in the process of development. We will be adding approximately 300-500 lessons to the pool each year.  The most recent project report on all of the components of this effort. �Mr. E.C. Stone Archetech, Inc. August 13, 1999 Page 2 We are completing the end of our research and design phase. While we will continue to develop the curriculum, lessons, and teaching support materials, we now know that we have a solid and unique effort. We are moving in the direction of expanding the professional development and training components. In addition, we have a sense of the size, depth, and the amount of time it will take to truly infuse this new curriculum in to Michigan, other states, and internationally. We are particularly intrigued, and naïve, about the opportunities available through electronic technologies and commerce for the materials we are creating. In particular we are interested in the following areas related to technology: Would a high tech firm be willing to join us as a corporate sponsor, both in financial support for the electronic distribution of our materials, and in offering expertise in how to utilize the world wide web, CD-ROM, online chat rooms, etc. as educational tools and distribution channels for our materials? We have seen MCI sponsorship of similar efforts in history, economics, and geography. We believe we have a far more unique product with a socially important and highly attractive public relations value to a company. We need to do a strategic and a business plan. We believe we may have foundation support for another seven-ten years to help us launch this effort. But, we will need to be self-supporting (at least for our core operations) at the end of this start-up period. (You might think of the foundations as long-term venture capitalists willing to invest in the R and D of a new effort and to help us through the initial start-up phase). Between now and May 2000, we want to go through an exercise to help us determine: our market niches, what products we would sell and which ones we will give away, where we might find long-term sponsorship and support, how we might maximize e-commerce as the educational community becomes more computer literate, how to market or establish copyright and royalty relationships for the original work that is being created, etc. We hope to take a strategic and a business plan to our May 2000 Steering Committee Meeting. Is this the sort of consulting you do? Could you give us the names of two-three references to help us know your work better? What might be your charges for this type of consultation? I would be appreciative of you thoughts and comments, and look forward to talking with you. Sincerely, Kathryn Ann Agard, Ed.D. Executive Director cc: Dorothy A. Johnson Russell G.

Deliverable 1 Archetech will solicit partnerships with cornerstone companies in the form of joint venture or licensing arrangement to underwrite: 1. Yr 2000 curriculum content creation - This funding would allow EPP to accelerate and complete content creation, and ($1 million projected) 2. Phase II business plan development costs - legal, sales, promotion, travel, professional fees, web site development etc. ($200,000 projected) Status Business realities require a revision to both components of this deliverable. When the strategic plan was adopted, it was understood that we would need to develop a Web based business model. However, it was not clear that EPP was incubated as a demonstration project in the philanthropy industry with a “if we build it, they will come” plan for subsequent integration into the education industry. Indeed, the original plan to “one off” state and individual school districts was not sensitive to education market dynamics. However, to attract potential partners to maximize the scale and scope of a Web based business, we need both a macro view of and compelling linkage to current and future education markets. To address the problem, since education market data is necessary for both components of this deliverable, AT is empanelling a group of business resources (see # 4) in the education field to conceptualize the plan in advance of its actual production. Assuming the group concurs on a feasible business model (which is likely), the group will facilitate its implementation. Under this schedule, funding the curriculum content will be a line item of the business plan. If necessary, separate funding development of the business plan should be achievable with a preliminary business model in hand. This revision should compress the schedule for production of the ultimate business plan by allowing us to implement Stage 1 findings in Stage 2. Deliverable 2 AT will take the lead (rationale and content) in developing collateral materials necessary to support Stage I sales and promotional activities including a: �2 (i) (ii) (iii) One page document describing history and progress to date Two page document describing development plan PowerPoint computer sales presentation Status Three documents have been produced: (i) Project case statement (ii) Goals of the project (iii) Project achievements Deliverable 3 AT will initiate activities to identify a national strategic partner (service clubs such as Rotary, Kiwanis or Lions) to promote EPP services and products offerings at the community level. Status No activity to date - awaiting conceptual development of the business model Deliverable 4 AT will identify and recommend individuals for membership on a business advisory board to provide support to various aspects of the project Status AT has recruited and expect participation from key national resources in the education market to conceptualize the business model including: 1. Mr. Brent Garcia Education Analyst Salomon Smith Barney New York, NY �3 2. Mr. Matt Sadowski Columbia Advisory Services New York, NY Investment Banking Consultant / Education and Training Sector • • • • • • 3. Private financing and venture capital assistance Merger & acquisition advisory services Joint venture / alliance coordination Business plan development Independent valuation assessment Market Analyst Mr. Michael Goldstein, Partner Dow, Lohnes and Albertson LLP Washington DC • Past chair of the Education Law Committee of the American Bar Association • Former co-chair of the Education Grants Committee of the Federal Bar Association • Mr. Goldstein has written and lectured extensively on issues involving the uses of technology in delivering education, including accreditation and licensure, interstate and international policy issues involving telecommunications and higher education, and the financing of non-traditional delivery systems This panel is intentionally weighted to the education for profit sector in order to obtain a view of the project’s commercial possibilities and give us a sense of the competitive interests. I anticipate additions to this list will be complete by April 20, 2000. Schedule Revised project activities (Phase II - Stage 1) should be complete in late May and on schedule to begin Stage 2 activities in June 2000. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This objective is in accord with both the conclusions reached at a Strategic Planning Meeting of the EPP held on December 7, 1999, chaired by Dr. Russell Mawby, and with EPP’s goal of planning for the long term teaching of philanthropy beyond grant funding. Background In Phase 1 of its business operations, EPP successfully demonstrated the existence of a market for philanthropy education products and its ability to access the market through the K-12 educational system. In addition, EPP’s value added approach to teaching philanthropy by infusing it into existing curriculum was validated in Phase One as a viable methodology. In its next stage of development, EPP’s primary business challenge will be to assure the project’s long term sustainability by commercializing aspects of the project that permit EPP to transition from grant funding to earned income. This objective needs to be accomplished without compromising EPP’s current and future not-for-profit franchise value. Toward that end, EPP has adopted a business strategy utilizing the World Wide Web as a primary access and distribution channel for EPP products and services. This business model positions EPP to: • maintain and sustain its not-for-profit identity in the short and long term • generate revenues through commercialization of marketing and distribution activities • maintain its operational focus on the design and creation all components of philanthropy education including lessons, books, learning tools, collateral materials etc. • maximize the scale and scope of the project while minimizing exposure to high level of risks associated with startup businesses. 1 The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project (EPP) seeks to perpetuate a civil society by the education of children about the independent sector, and to inspire their commitment to private citizen action intended for the common good. �2 PROPOSAL Archetech LLC will assist EPP to identify strategic partnerships to fund and develop a philanthropy education vertical portal to serve as a hub for information dissemination and commerce. Partnership Criteria AT will target cornerstone companies for partnership who: • place a high value on reaching the educational community marketplace • offer products or services compatible with EPP mission • offer premier name or branding value to partnership • premier companies who value stewardship identity These partnerships will be structured to provide EPP with: • revenue sharing as a result of advertising and products or services sold • symbiotic or other non-monetary value such as desired technology or intellectual property • new content or other collateral material AT will not solicit partnerships from any companies that produce or advocate products that are harmful to children, illegal, discriminate or are deemed inappropriate by social practice. In addition to its own resources, AT will aggregate and coordinate priority contact information from the EPP and CMF communities as necessary to expand and refine project sales activities. Deliverables To achieve this objective, Archetech LLC will deliver EPP a mix of professional services in stages as described below. While this schedule and action plan serves as a starting point, uncertainties in the development process require the plan to thought of as a fluid work in progress at all times. STAGE I Deliverable 1 Archetech will solicit partnerships with cornerstone companies in the form of joint venture or licensing arrangement to underwrite: 1. Yr 2000 curriculum content creation - This funding would allow EPP to accelerate and complete content creation, and ($1 million projected) 2. Stage II business plan development costs - legal, sales, promotion, travel, professional fees, web site development etc. ($200,000 projected) �3 Deliverable 2 AT will take the lead (rationale and content) in developing collateral materials necessary to support Stage I sales and promotional activities including a: • one page document describing history and progress to date • two page document describing development plan • computer PowerPoint sales presentation Deliverable 3 AT will initiate activities to identify a national strategic partner (service clubs such as Rotary, Kiwanis or Lions) to promote EPP services and products offerings at the community level. Deliverable 4 AT will identify and recommend individuals for membership on a business advisory board to provide support to various aspects of the project Deliverable 5 AT will prepare a written report of Stage I activities which will include recommendations for Stage II activities. STAGE II To successfully implement this strategy, a business plan, consistent with the EPP mission, needs to be developed to guide management near and long-term decisionmaking. This plan would describe in detail: • how the not-for-profit and for-profit entities will relate to one another • EPP and partnership Internet marketing strategies including: 1. Market analysis 2. Market research 3. Marketing positioning for various audiences (1 or 2 Web sites?) 4. Competitive analysis • description of the core functionality of the web site including; 1. How the web site will be integrated with the written curriculum 2. Underwriting support for designing, developing, serving and maintaining the commercial Web site • financial projections for the venture Stage II activities would be triggered by fulfillment of Stage I funding goals. STAGE III Stage III activities would operationalize the business plan developed in Stage II. Time for Performance and Personnel Performing the Work Archetech estimates performance of Stage I activities will be completed within 120 days of the date a letter of engagement is executed by the parties. Work will begin immediately on that date. Messrs. Ed Stone, Paul Baker and Doug Monroe will perform tasks of the proposal for Archetech LLC unless otherwise mutually agreed, except for certain secretarial/ administrative functions. �4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Deliverable 4 AT will identify and recommend individuals for membership on a business advisory board to provide support to various aspects of the project Deliverable 5 AT will prepare a written report of Stage I activities which will include recommendations for Stage II activities. STAGE II To successfully implement this strategy, a business plan, consistent with the EPP mission, needs to be developed to guide management near and long-term decisionmaking. This plan would describe in detail: • how the not-for-profit and for-profit entities will relate to one another • EPP and partnership Internet marketing strategies including: 1. Market analysis 2. Market research 3. Marketing positioning for various audiences (1 or 2 Web sites?) 4. Competitive analysis �4 • • description of the core functionality of the web site including; 1. How the web site will be integrated with the written curriculum 2.

The objectives of this initial phase meeting were to: • compile and prioritize relevant project materials, • process understandings and assumptions of the principals • identify target markets and potential strategic distribution partners • identify financial incentives and variables. Archetech LLC provided support to the meeting by: • preparing the agenda • presenting the preliminary agenda to EPP for inputs and approval • preparing materials and distributed them to the participants • facilitating the meeting • preparing the following report of findings and recommendations. PRIMARY CONSIDERATION The steering committee emphasized the importance of developing products and services that are philosophically consistent with organization’s mission statement: The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project (EPP) seeks to perpetuate a civil society by the education of children about the independent sector, and to inspire their commitment to private citizen action intended for the common good. FINDINGS OF THE MEETING (by topic) 1) Mission a) Build on the EPP’s franchise value. EPP has created content and a reputation as the leader in its field. EPP has the “formula.” It needs to standardize, leverage and franchise it. b) EPP should remain a content provider and create strategic relationships that facilitate the manufacture and distribution of its content �2 c) EPP should not form a for-profit entity (start-up business) in the foreseeable future to commercialize its content. 2) 3) Content / R & D a) The project has created a “value added” curriculum..enhancing what is already taught in schools rather than adding a totally new component b) The content will be given away and not sold. Collateral materials will be sold. c) The development methodology – using teachers to create the content and endorse the product – is the authentic and correct approach d) The product to be offered by EPP is not ready for the market at this time. Additional development is needed to create complete content that can be distributed as modules. EPP currently has lesson plans that need to beincorporated into a curriculum. e) EPP’s content should include: i) K-12 philanthropic curriculum. ii) Collateral materials. iii) An interactive web site, with a “game” environment deemed “safe for students,” that will attract the 58 million-plus student market. iv) A parent web site that attracts the 87 million-plus parent market. Markets a) Schools i) K-12 and beyond ii) Home schools iii) Charter schools b) Parents c) Students 4) Distribution a) The primary distribution channel should be the World Wide Web. This creates an international presence overnight and eliminates a number of the challenges that would be created by rolling out the program state-by-state. An e-commerce model will be created to sell the collateral materials and a sponsorship (advertising) model will be developed as a way to distribute the content 5) Finance a) Funding to complete the content should be obtained from traditional sources –foundations – because they are more patient and understand the project. This is not to say we will not seek strategic relationships to fund research and development; however, this will not be the focus. Foundations represent the short-term path to sustaining the enterprise. The long-term goal is to add to the funding significantly through strategic alliances, licensing and marketing arrangements. �3 Because ongoing content development is the key to success, both avenues should be pursued on parallel. * Many good ideas proposed at the meeting are not included in this summary report, but should be extracted from the notes of the meeting and incorporated in future planning strategies. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEXT STEPS (by topic) 1.) Mission a) Consider possible identity issues or name change 2) Content / R & D a) Evaluate and plan content development strategies for potential to expand and/or accelerate sourcing and delivery b) Create a comprehensive web strategy after completing Markets a) & b) c) Continue to develop the “Product” for the teachers. d) As the content is created, determine what collateral material uses 3) Markets a) Identify, through market research, what content will attract students to a web site b) Identify, through market research, what content will attract parents to a web site c) Research and identify all the potential markets such as the “at home” market discussed at the meeting. Broaden the horizon d) Test collaterals for market demand and pricing before production 4) Distribution a) Select the right distribution channels. b) Create relationships with strategic partners that can use EPP’s content to create the desired program. For example, if the research shows that a game is the product; we need to contact a number of the game developers to ascertain their interest in creating or participating in the interactive web site c) Approach publishers and determine if the content can be incorporated. in current text books or published as a stand alone text book. They will most likely do focus groups, at their expense, to answer this question. The results of their market research will be very valuable to EPP, even if EPP does not establish a strategic relationship with a publisher 5) Finance a) Finance the organization through to commercialization. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Quiqley Executive Director Center for Civic Education 5146 Douglas Fir Road Calabasas, CA 91302 Dear Mr. Quiqley I am writing to follow-up on the recent telephone conversation Phil Kearney had with you about the Learning to Give program and our request for the Center for Civic Education endorsement of the effort. As Phil explained, the program is a joint effort of the Council of Michigan Foundations and a consortium of non-profit organizations, governmental agencies and businesses. To date the project has received its major funding from twelve different sources—including the W.K. Kellogg, Ford, and Ewing Marion Kaufmann Foundations, and the Lilly Endowment. The project is now at a point where it needs to seek additional foundation and corporate support to allow it to move from its research and design phase into a nationally available program. A very important step in building a successful funding strategy—particularly in approaching potential corporate givers—is to have the support and endorsement of major national education organizations such as the Center for Civic Education. It would be immensely helpful to the success of our funding strategy and the project if we could receive the endorsement of the Center for Civic Education. I hope that you will be able to respond positively to our request. I have enclosed a suggested letter of endorsement for your consideration. Please feel free to use it, adapt it in the way that you see fit or, of course, develop your own letter. I also have included an overview of the Learning to Give project and a listing of the members of the Steering Committee. Phil Kearney would be happy to provide any additional information that might be helpful. You can reach Phil directly by telephone at 734-662-4637 or by e-mail at philipk@umich.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Russell G. Mawby Chair, Learning to Give cc: Philip Kearney Robert S.

Mawby Chairman Emeritus W.K. Kellogg Foundation C/O The Learning to Give Program 630 Harvey Street Muskegon, MI 49442-2398 Dear Dr. Mawby: The Center for Civic Education is pleased to offer its endorsement of the Learning to Give project. The project’s goal of providing young people with a program to teach them the historic role and intrinsic value of America’ independent, not-for-profit sector and the importance of philanthropy—giving of one’ wealth, time and talent for the common good—is most laudable. We are impressed with the breadth and depth of diverse experiences represented in the Project Steering Committee, and the progress that the project has made to date. We also are gratified to see that the major work of the project, developing a full array of lesson plans over the K-12 spectrum and the field testing of those lesson plans, involves practicing classroom teachers. An important future step will be realization of the project’s goal of making the lesson plans available free of charge to other teachers. We wish you success in your efforts to seek corporate support to that end. With best wishes for continuing success, Sincerely, Charles N.

Along the way, we realized our project was becoming a movement. And now we have the potential to spread our work around the world. Those of us involved in the surprising evolution of our project are excited about the possibility of bringing in other organizations to share in our efforts to produce a more civil society. While debate may rage in the $980 billion U.S. education industry about effective delivery models for the future, the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) has created a solid foundation on the World Wide Web for its K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project. Already, the project – which set out to revolutionize the teaching of philanthropic principles to children – is reaching tens of thousands of children and educators, both in the United States and internationally. The potential of the CMF project, initially funded by the Kellogg Foundation and other national charitable foundations, has created an extraordinary opportunity for businesses to establish a real foundation for a more civil society. We are inviting select organizations to join with us. The CMF is creating a 501 (C) 3 business consortium composed of several of America’s leading institutions, including corporate sponsors, a production company, a national service club and major research universities. The consortium will sponsor and manage development of a state-of-the-art Website to deliver the project’s programming and curriculum. The companies that become associated with the site, through sponsorship, will accrue prestige and a large measure of good will. The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project was incubated in response to growing cynicism and declining philanthropic participation in society. Its goals were to expand the popular definition of philanthropy to include the giving of time and talent, no matter the age or economic status of the giver, and to take the project into schools and homes throughout the nation, involving families as well as students and teachers. Through its early Website (www.k12edphil.org) and extensive lesson planning and writing, the project already has reached thousands of people. New work is being added to the site constantly. The project’s national potential is more than 100 million students and teachers, a staggering value for low-key advertising. The project was born in Information Age technology, going straight to the World Wide Web for delivery potential without boundaries. �Yet its purpose is as old-fashioned as family and community values, using the private sector to spread the word about the power of taking action for the common good through the independent sector – the nonprofit arena that has produced so many benefits for the life to the United States. The consortium is now seeking corporate sponsors to join the movement and to participate in the growth of a social entrepreneurial project without precedent and without limits. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Vision An international movement to intentionally transmit to the next generation the body of knowledge, and skills of voluntary citizen action for the common good. This would include: the formal teaching of the history, concepts, people, and organizations that form the body of knowledge about philanthropy volunteer experiences and experiential learning opportunities for youth that empower their active involvement as citizens while they are young and messages, images, and role models in the popular culture that promote civil society and private citizen action for the common good. The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project will work cooperatively within the multiple systems and other initiatives necessary to achieve this vision. The Project’s unique competency is in the research and development of the philanthropy body of knowledge translated for the child ages 5-18. Definition of Philanthropy The Project defines philanthropy as: giving, serving, and private voluntary citizen action intended for the common good. Role The Project has a number of roles. The Project: 1. is unique in its work of transmitting the concepts, history, and biographies of peoplephilanthropic studies- to children ages 5-18 (a K-12 curriculum in philanthropy). The Project is uniquely about the ideas and is the sole content provider for K-12 philanthropy curriculum. 2. is an information-based effort and therefore ideal for internet technology 2. this work includes development of original materials within the following standards: a. age appropriate from Kindergarten through high school b. curriculum built with a scaffolding of concepts from grade to grade c. non-biased, non-sectarian, politically neutral d. developed, piloted, and field-tested in diverse school environments e. teacher developed, and field-tested f. lessons are designed to be infused in to the current standards-based formal education environment and meet required benchmarks of the core curriculum �g. lessons have standard components including authentic assessment, scoring rubrics-units include an experiential component (most commonly servicelearning), and a parent involvement component h. standardized tests for grades 5, 8, and 11 are being developed according to testing industry quality standards i. lessons are written to meet specific learning outcomes for philanthropy education organized as standards, strands, and benchmarks 3. this work includes the pre-service and inservice professional development of classroom teachers to expand and enhance their understanding of the body of knowledge about philanthropy, and to increase their skills in teaching philanthropic studies 4. this work includes the development of original material in support of both teachers and students in learning this body of knowledge (bibliographies, biographies, calendar of events, historic timelines etc). Research and development function 5. identifies the philanthropy knowledge that exists within the university disciplines at the graduate level and conveys/translates this knowledge in usable form for classroom teachers. In turn, practicing classroom teachers write units and lessons to convey/translate this body of knowledge in age appropriate ways, and within their core academic curriculum, to students recognizes and operates within the state-based and illusive complexity of the educational environment-without attempting full standardization of productsrespectful of the professional role of the teacher to operationalize the content appropriately in their own classroom environment-not a “curriculum in a box” 6. is the only intentional and systemic effort to formally transmit the philanthropic tradition to the next generation. Stakeholders 1. Organized philanthropy-corporate, private, and community foundations/nonprofit organizations, volunteers 2. Organized education-public/private, independent/religious/public, K-graduate school K-12: access to all students College pre-service education of teachers Graduate inservice education of teachers graduate education of teachers academic disciplines academic centers on philanthropy education 3.

Weaknesses Funding is on three-year grant cycles from foundations with specific program interests. General sustained support is not possible from the foundation community. �Substantial time and resources are spent in writing grants, rewriting, waiting for decisions, and reporting. Substantial time and resources are spent in financial management. Funding of components of the Project is uneven with little flexibility to move resources as they are needed. The Project is under-capitalized to move outside of Michigan in any substantial way in a reasonable amount of time. Solutions to specific operational problems are resource-based, not strategic or technical. Enhancements to the Project are limited by resource constraints. The R and D effort in Michigan may be viewed nationally as too provincial, as might the offices located in a small midwestern community National culture is becoming increasingly rude, violent, disrespectful, indulgent and intolerant. Children are unceasingly bombarded with powerful visual, auditory, and interactive messages that are at odds with philanthropy Children are increasingly isolated from the mainstream of society and have little opportunity to constructively engage their communities to learn community leadership skills The cultural and core democratic values in the curriculum are uniquely institutionalized and elaborated in the United States, the international translation of these values will require substantially more resources (financial, research, expertise) on a country by country basis Teacher acceptance of the internet as a teaching tool, their own use of the web, their comfort level and training, and their attitude toward technology is very mixed. It appears slower to acceptance than in other professions. In addition, many teachers have no access, or only access to old/slow technology. Threats The next President will move service and civil society issues off of the national agenda Potential “competitors” will realize there is a difference between civics education (how a bill becomes a law), and philanthropy education (volunteer leadership for the common good) and will add this curriculum to their offerings Fold for lack of capital Opportunities The acceptance (and even mandate) of service-learning opens a door in education for this curriculum Broad national programs set a tone in support of the curriculum: America’s Promise, �Corporation for National Service People are concerned about civil society and the next generation New democracies are anxious for assistance in teaching their next generation about civil society and how to live in a democracy Unlimited opportunities via the internet to transport this information internationally Teacher education/certification/and professional development are topics of current discussion and therefore more “fluid” Schools are beginning to operate in competitive environments, increasing their search for programs with a “competitive edge” The connotation and the content of the Project are appealing-striking core democratic values in the culture Strategies Grass-roots, teacher-focused, teacher-led effort Authentic, diminishes teacher reluctance to change, speaks directly to the person who must implement the change, assures age appropriateness, assures feasibility in implementation, increases ownership by the key stakeholder, builds grassroots momentum Pilot and develop in Michigan Strong web of philanthropic organizations-including the RAG, a cohort of national and international grantmaking foundations, a history of cooperation between organizations Strong education establishment including standards-based education and state assessment, substantial teacher-education resources, and major education and research universities Utilize technology from the very start of the project for development and dissemination Immediate opportunity to be a world-wide project Opportunities to network teachers in to a teaching-learning community Opportunities for teachers to overcome the isolation of their classrooms and work together to create the curriculum and the lessons Aim for high quality, and seriousness in implementation Each element is piloted, independently reviewed for fairness, field-tested by impartial teachers, evaluated. Standardized testing adds rigour. Develop the curriculum and materials within the constraints of the formal educational system Requires obedience to core democratic values acceptable in public education Requires academic rigour and quality Subjects lessons to scrutiny of professionals who know children �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby Chairman Emeritus W.K. Kellogg Foundation C/O The Learning to Give Program 630 Harvey Street Muskegon, MI 49442-2398 Dear Dr. Mawby: Educators for Social Responsibility is pleased to offer its endorsement of the Learning to Give project. The project’s goal of providing young people with a program to teach them the historic role and intrinsic value of America’ independent, not-for-profit sector and the importance of philanthropy—giving of one’ wealth, time and talent for the common good—is most laudable. We are impressed with the breadth and depth of diverse experiences represented in the Project Steering Committee, and the progress that the project has made to date. We also are gratified to see that the major work of the project, developing a full array of lesson plans over the K-12 spectrum and the field testing of those lesson plans, involves practicing classroom teachers. An important future step will be realization of the project’s goal of making the lesson plans available free of charge to other teachers. We wish you success in your efforts to seek corporate support to that end. With best wishes for continuing success, Sincerely, Larry Dieringer Executive Director] � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With major funding from the W.K. Kellogg, Ford and Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundations, the Lilly Endowment and anonymous donors, CMF created “Learning to Give” as a voluntary K-12 education in philanthropy initiative. Quietly and with little fanfare the project has been developed with the help of K-12 classroom teachers and field-tested throughout the nation. So far, more than 550 lesson plans have been written by teachers working on a volunteer basis. The initiative represents a significant advancement beyond existing service-learning programs and social science curriculum already in public schools. It includes wideranging content about the independent sector previously missing from the servicelearning movement and the core K-12 academic curriculum. The initiative’s subject matter is interwoven with history, geography, government and economics. But more is involved. Without the Initiative, students might never be directly exposed to the role of volunteers in building a civil society–-or even why having a civil society is important. Students in the Learning to Give Initiative learn not only how to give of their time and talent, but also the past, present and future importance of participating in the common good. Importantly, the Initiative has embraced the latest in Internet technology to expand and reach our nation’s teachers, students, family and volunteers. Through its website (www.Learningtogive.org), teachers across the nation, free of charge, can access and then directly download the Project curriculum, lessons and resource materials. The Initiative has been guided in its initial phase by a volunteer steering committee. While incubated in Michigan, the initiative has ensured that its steering committee members bring important national perspectives in their areas of expertise. Committee members include individuals from national and regional foundations, national and state councils for social studies, national and regional business interests and corporations, classroom teachers and administrators, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, the Michigan State Board and Department of Education, and faculty from centers on philanthropy at Indiana University, Grand Valley State University (Michigan), Case Western Reserve University and the University of Missouri in Kansas City.

As Phil explained, the program is a joint effort of the Council of Michigan Foundations and a consortium of non-profit organizations, governmental agencies and businesses. I serve as a member of the project Steering Committee and am writing on behalf of our committee chair, Russell Mawby, who currently is traveling out of state. To date the project has received its major funding from twelve different sources—including the W.K. Kellogg, Ford, and Ewing Marion Kaufmann Foundations, and the Lilly Endowment. The project is now at a point where it needs to seek additional foundation and corporate support to allow it to move from its research and design phase into a nationally available program. A very important step in building a successful funding strategy—particularly in approaching potential corporate givers—is to have the support and endorsement of major national education organizations such as Educators for Social Responsibility. It would be immensely helpful to the success of our funding strategy and the project if we could receive the endorsement of the ESR. I hope that you will be able to respond positively to our request. I have enclosed a suggested letter of endorsement for your consideration. Please feel free to use it, adapt it in the way that you see fit or, of course, develop your own letter. I also have included an overview of the Learning to Give project and a listing of the members of the Steering Committee. Phil Kearney would be happy to provide any additional information that might be helpful. You can reach Phil directly by telephone at 734-662-4637 or by e-mail at philipk@umich.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Robert S.

Policy, Evaluation Design, Oversight, and Reporting The evaluation of the Initiative and its impact is guided by a volunteer-led committee that meets at least two times per year. The committee is composed of seasoned professionals from the nonprofit sector, community leadership, and education. The committee reports, both verbally and in writing, on the progress of the project, “lessons learned”, and with interim evaluations to the Steering Committee twice per year. Quality Assurance Protocols Evaluation within the lesson development protocols occur at each stage of development. Student learning benchmarks have been developed using a Delphi research process involving national philanthropic leaders. The research results were then reviewed by over forty K-12 classroom teachers and refined for age appropriate expectations. The benchmarks were presented to and approved by the Project Steering Committee. Individual units and classroom lessons are written to a standard template that includes authentic assessment guidance of student learning, and rubrics for scoring. The lessons/unit structure and teaching process are reviewed by two experienced educators prior to piloting the lessons. Each lesson is reviewed by an Independent Fairness Review Committee composed of representatives from various points of view-ethnic, geographic, cultural-under the guidance of an outside psychomatrician. Each lesson is then piloted in the authoring teachers’ own classroom. Following any revisions made by the author, each lesson is then sent out to five other volunteer teachers for a “blind review”. A written evaluation of the lesson provided on a standardized review form is sent to the outside psychomatrician to assess the usefulness. In addition, student work created as a result of the lessons taught in the field-tests will begin to be collected starting in the fall of 2001. Standardized Testing of Student Learning Standardized tests of student learning at grades 5, 8, and 11 are under development. The testing instrument has been designed by the teachers, and the initial questions have been drafted. During the next two years the standardized tests will be developed according to educational testing industry standards. This will allow a teacher to compare their students’ work with others across the nation. To assure the initial validity of the tests, 20 school buildings (5 per grade level: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) are being recruited. These pilot schools are committing to teaching the lessons at each grade level over a period of time. This provides the opportunity to assess the articulation of the lessons from grade to grade, and to review the student retention of the philanthropy material. The piloting phase is beginning in January 2001. Independent Outside Evaluation The Initiative is being evaluated on three year cycles (1997-2000 and 2000-2003) by a team from Michigan State University. The evaluation utilizes multiple strategies that provide for inter-rater reliability comparisons on issues of judgement/opinion. The team members and strategies are: Dr. Diane Zimmerman, University Outreach, Stakeholder Interviews: the first interviews of expectations were completed in 1998. The second round of interviews will occur in 2001. Dr. Brian Silver, Public Policy Research: survey research of participating teachers. The surveys are completed as a baseline when the teacher enters their first summer professional development institute, and then are repeated bi-annually. Dr. Mark Wilson, Geography and Economics Professor: quarterly reflective journals on specific research questions from the teachers involved. �Dr. Robert Floden, College of Education: analysis and evaluation of student generated work (K-12) from the pilot schools, and field-test teachers, this will include video-taping of student projects. In addition there is an option for onsite observation of the teaching of some of the lessons in the pilot school classrooms. Dr. Thomas Hirsch (independent consultant and psychomatrician): pilot site teacher evaluations of student achievement and articulation between grade levels. Outcomes Staff of the Initiative report on the “countables” related to outcomes and products. These numbers are reported by function to the Steering Committee two times per year. The number of units and lessons Number of benchmarks that have a sample lesson Number of social studies and English language arts benchmarks covered by a lesson Number and topic of briefing papers Number of hits on the website Number of teachers, types of teachers, attending the summer institutes Number of teacher meetings Any new publications etc. Impact Journals, survey instruments, teacher meetings, and field-test forms are all used as avenues to collect teacher observations on the impact of the lessons on the students. Since the Initiative is only three years old, and the initial lessons have only been online for two years, its difficult to measure whether this K-12 oriented education will have a long term impact on civil society two decades hence. As secondary measurements, the evaluation team is considering a survey form that asks high school juniors and seniors about their future intent to become involved in their community. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson, Russell G. Mawby, James A. Kelly Kathy Agard, Director Fund-Raising Visits Enclosed is a brief overview of the money needed in order to complete the project and the money we would like. You may remember that we cut $1 million from our original request to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation knowing that we would need to raise additional funds from other sources. In addition the WKKF has requested a longitudinal study of the impact of the grant, and there are some new ideas which have emerged over time. Included is a short annotation on what the additional funds will purchase. Raising $2 million would be terrific. Also, enclosed is an annotated list of potential funders, starting with those outside of Michigan who are most likely to be interested in the project. This list might provide a framework for our discussion of fund-raising strategy. An exciting time! Talk with you Wednesday the 26th at 9 a.m. Thanks!

Three specific goals are being pursued to position the project as the research and development source for content and as the standard setting organization related to the quality of K-12 philanthropy education. First, the council has outlined the outcomes it hopes to achieve with students. Second, it has envisioned the process for achieving the desired outcomes. Third, it has begun development of an ambitious web site that can take the vision of philanthropy education throughout the world. Students Intellectual Goals By participating in Learning to Give, each child will understand the full meaning of citizen action for the common good through giving and serving. Each child will understand the importance, both to democracy and to his or her life, of major ideas of philanthropy such as: • The risk of factions and how voluntary associations keep society together. • How the independent sector protects minority voices. • How the independent sector has worked throughout history. • The motivations of philanthropists and the lasting impact of their lives. • The power each student has to do good without needing adult permission to excel in this most healthy channeling of youthful idealism and energy. Actions and Behavior Every child will have a positive experience in volunteer service and will develop the basic skills to become an involved citizen. As they mature, students will become increasingly involved in positive social action and public service. Teachers Teachers will know how to teach philanthropy as an integrated part of the school curriculum. They will master the philanthropy content and the use of service-learning as a teaching process. Learning to Give �Parents Parents will know how to teach and reinforce the material at home. In time, they will be taught by their children and share the joy of personal growth with them. American Society The next generation of American schoolchildren will be fluent in the language of giving – they will understand the role of citizens and will have the skills to engage in both government and private action for the common good outside of government. The World Emerging nations and other democratic countries can utilize these materials to build similar educational materials and outcomes in their countries, as well as to enhance the American curriculum with a worldwide perspective. The Process Intellectual Content and Skill Development • The content that defines what students should know and the skills they should have at each grade level is identified. • Curriculum themes are organized by standards and benchmarks as well as by grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) • Sample units are being written with specific ties to the national social studies content standards in history, economics, geography, and government. • An intellectual "scaffolding" of what students should know at each grade level is being developed. • For each benchmark, an age-appropriate definition for the student and a lexicon for the teacher that provides basic information on each concept is being developed. • For each major topical area, a three-to-five-page briefing paper to assist teachers who lack content knowledge in that area is being written. • For each strand, a standardized test at grades five, eight and eleven is being developed so teachers can compare what their children are learning to other students. • For each benchmark, a sample unit or lesson that teaches the concept at the appropriate age level is available. • Each lesson is written to a standard educational template. • Each lesson has a rubric for assessment of learning. • The majority of units (a set of lessons) have a service-learning component. • The majority of units have a component involving the family. Materials and Skills • Teachers and students will have support materials related to the age-based content and student skills. For example: Posters for the classroom. Philanthropic bibliographies, quotations, stories. Learning to Give �• • Teachers will build their content knowledge in philanthropy and skill in teaching through service learning. For example through: In-service workshops. Teacher-to-teacher workshops. Summer institutes. Pre-service education. Graduate education. Textbooks will be written and published with related student and teacher guides, and will include a CD-ROM version for students, and teachers. Reaching Families Families will be reached to build their skill in supporting their children. Through family-based homework. Through orientations for families. Through family communication with school. Web-site/Mission Orientation The project’s Web site is a major delivery strategy. The site, which is already operational in a basic format, will evolve into a vehicle for delivering the content and skills to all audiences worldwide. Meta-site Strategy One major site with sections is a simpler approach than to have separate sites. A “Metasite” would link the site with all other sites containing germane content. Students • Age appropriate. The web site must work for students K-12 with different ages doing different things via the Internet. • Interactive. The site should be interactive and use such common devices as games, self-instruction, video/audio, and original documents to be accessed by students. • Instructional. The site should be a place for students to do their homework, for example a lesson on Jane Addams related to immigration and the early organizing of social institutions such as the NAACP, and the field of social work. Web link to the Jane Addams home page and to Hull House. Copy of Jane Addams speeches, plus real Audio of actress reading the speeches. Video of what life was like during this period of time. Q & A section with speedy response via e-mail to student questions. Discussion in the chat room about how women have used the non-profit sector as an alternative power structure. Link to social work career pages and content about what a student needs to study to become a social worker, community activist, or child care worker. For younger students especially, the site should provide step-by-step assistance so the child also learns how to catalogue information and search for information. Learning to Give �• • • • Across space. The site should allow international links, joining students learning similar things in other countries, through cyber-pen pals and joint homework. Youth Involvement. Young people should be empowered to add to the site and to the flow of ideas. Chat room and other ways to reach peers. The site should provide a chat room related to philanthropy (perhaps monitored by a class as a part of their volunteerism), in addition to e-mail, ListServ communications between youth, pages for pictures of student projects and discussion with teachers. Incentives for working on the net. The site should provide incentives for reading philanthropic books, watching movies (with a movie guide to be answered online), music, perhaps submitting original work (movies, music, poetry, essays). Teachers • Teachers currently are using the web site for curriculum materials. The site should provide a wealth of such information for teachers. Standards and benchmarks. Lesson plans. Testing booklets. Briefing papers and Definitions. • The site also should provide access to original documents and background materials. Timelines. Bibliographies (web sites, music, art, books, places to visit). Textbooks. • Easy connections to other related and helpful sites. • Teachers should be able to access a readily available discussion site. Teacher chat room. List-Serve. E-mail. • Chance to be a part of an international network of teachers. • Teachers also should have a connection to students. Some way to receive or monitor student work (as appropriate). Opportunity to give students feedback. Families • Families should have an easy-access link to the web site, including an e-mail link with teachers to discuss projects and ideas. • It is vitally important to assure a “safe site” for young people. • Families can work together on projects, such as tracing a family’s philanthropic history, using a web-based form. • Parents could review and check the students' work on philanthropy Learning to Give � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
