The nonprofit sector is facing challenges and opportunities that require collaboration -- enabling all nonprofits to benefit from a shared relationship and utilizing the best skills and strengths of each organization. There are areas of mutual interest for all nonprofits, including: 1. Promote awareness of the role, diversity, capacity, and impact of the sector. 2. Research; 3. Media and marketing activities; 4. Legislative and regulatory issues and concerns, at both the state and national level; 5. Advocacy; 6. Education and Leadership Development, both volunteer and professional; 7. Increasing philanthropy and encouraging volunteerism; 8. Recognition of the nonprofit sector, especially the economic impact of nonprofit organizations. 9. Program progress and services which strengthen the ability of nonprofit agencies to fulfill us their missions. PURPOSE The Michigan Nonprofit Forum is a ns twork of nonprofit organizatio~ united for the purpose of discussion, plann i ng and collaborative action on issues which affect the nonprofit movement in Michigan. This is achieved through special meetings, conferences and the exchange of material relative to specific topics identified as high priority. · �2 ORGANIZATION The Michigan Nonprofit Forum is an informal network, the members of which are determined by the initial nonprofit organizations participating in this effort. It serves without an established set of bylaws or formal structure. Staffing needs are met by the nonprofit organizations and shift depending on the need or capability being sought. The chief volunteer and executive officer of each organization serve as a committee of the whole with assignments being made to specific groups of persons or to an individual. Meetings are determined on the basis of specific projects and the timeliness required or on an "as needed" basis to be determined by any of the nonprofit organizations. The organizations come together at least quarterly for a planned activity or for general sharing of information and ideas. ACTIVITIES The Michigan Nonprofit Forum would become an organization that may build joint activities and programs to meet specific needs identified by the organization's leadership. This may include: 1. Legislative coalitions on issues affecting the nonprofit movement at the state and federal level and which are best served by bringing together nonprofit groups to respond as a united force, on issues such as tax deductions for nonprofits, reductions in federal/state support and unrelated business income tax regulations; 2. Conferences and educational seminars on topics of related interest or for the purpose of training volunteers or professionals in special skill areas or on topics which affect the nonprofit movement; 3. Research projects in order to expand the knowledge in theory and practice of nonprofit organizations as well as to study the impact of nonprofit organizations from the economic, volunteer or service activity level; 4. Marketing and media activities to promote a positive image of nonprofit organizations and offer recognition for outstanding efforts of donors, volunteers, and professionals; 5. Volunteer leadership development to improve skills in individuals to serve as volunteers and board members for nonprofit organizations and to identify persons to serve in this role. �3 It may be appropriate to choose one or two activities to begin efforts. This will assist in determining if there is significant interest in this type of organization and the willingness of others to participate. Two activities that might be considered could be the legislative and research areas. OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE ---- 1. One of the ten participating nonprofit organizations could be chosen as the "host" for the inistrative a aratus of the Forum. The host organization would provide office space and office equipment for the "secretariat" of the Forum consisting of positions of Executive Director and Executive Secretary. The "secretariat" would be responsible for the general administration of the Forum, including calling and coordinating meetings, and providing a channel of communication among the Forum's members. A goal might be to take on the organization of the 1991 "Grantmaker-Grantseeker III Meeting," now coordinated jointly by the Council of Michigan Foundations and the National Society of Fund Raising Executives, Michigan Chapters. After a period of time, a decision would be made whether to keep the secretariat under the aegis of the "host" organization, or to [ 'spin" it off as a free-standing organization. 2. All of the ten participating nonprofit organizations could collaborate to establish a free-standing secretariat organization with the positions of Executive Director and Executive Secretary. The secretariat would be responsible for general administration of the Forum, and would call meetings at spaces provided by Forum members. The other functions of the secretariat would be identical to those provided in option No. 1, above. Similarly, a goal would be to take over the management of the Grantmaker-Grantseeker meeting. After the grant period, a decision would be made to maintain the secretariat as the nucleus of an inde endent Non rofit Forum, or canso idate it within a member organization 9f the Forum as 1n option No. 1, above. 3. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum could consider becoming a larger membership organization. This could be achieved by means ot a "hosted" secretariat as envisioned in option No. 1, or through a free-standing secretariat, as outlined in option No. 2. The staffing needs would be larger than those described in either of the options above, perhaps requiring a part-time Assistant Director, and a part-time secretary in addition to the Executive Director and the Executive Secretary described above. The goal would be to recruit an additional 20-25 statewide nonprofits as members by the end of the grant period. Also, membership would be thrown open to individuals. By the end of the grant period, the Forum w u be artially sustained by membershi fees rom organizations and individuals, but would still need to ra1se lemental funds from corporations, foundations, and ivers. �4 4. Another organization, outside of the founding group, would be identified to implement either Option 1 or 2. 5. ·Contract with a Michigan research organization to do a feasibility/market study of the nonprofit sector to determine the need for and acceptability of such an organization. 6. Hold a membership-expansion luncheon and include a keynote speaker from a statewide nonprofit association in conjunction with several development workshops to identify pertinent concerns. 7. Hold an annual nonprofit conference and include the volunteer leadership of statewide organizations and discuss opportunities for networking and discussion. 8.

I n i t i a l l y conceived as a mechanism to convene members for joint discussions about shared issues, the Forum has evolved into an entity charged with facilitating a new awareness and increased capacity of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and with serving as a "mediating structure" between funders, nonprofits and the p u b l i c (working collaboratively with existing efforts in the state) to promote the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy for the P u b l i c Good. The M i c h i g a n Nonprofit Forum differs substantially from the increasing number of statewide nonprofit associations that are emerging across the country. The Forum w i l l not itself serve as a trade association, competing for memberships and support with existing associations in Michigan. Nor w i l l it provide the fieldspecific services and advocacy provided by current Michigan associations. Instead, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum creates, for the first time, a statewide mechanism for dialog, planning and cooperative action among a l l stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. U n l i k e any existing state association of nonprofits, the Forum has brought together in its Steering Committee and its design not just traditional charities, but also p u b l i c and private funders and taxsupported institutions (such as the public schools and universities) that also have an increasingly-recognized stake. The activities of the Forum address voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary interests but as p u b l i c goods, which broadly affect the state's economy, polity and quality of life, and which therefore merit careful analysis and planning, human resource development, informed p u b l i c discussion, and dependable investment. MNF Mission and Goals. Nonprofit Forum is: The primary mission of the Michigan to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. Toward that end, the Forum promotes dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and humanities, community development, education, r e l i g i o n ) and economic sectors (nonprofit, p u b l i c and for-profit) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise p u b l i c awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role and significant contributions in Michigan. �To accomplish this mission, the Forum undertakes activities in these five areas: (1) Dialogue: The Forum regularly convenes meetings among sector leaders and stakeholders on key issues, such as those related to state and federal legislation, governance and l i a b i l i t y ; it serves as both a resource for understanding and a catalyst for further action. (2) Information Sharing and Research: The Forum compiles and disseminates current information and insights, as a basis for analysis, planning and action. The Forum also works to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars of the nonprofit sector, toward a more solid knowledge base for p u b l i c policy and practice in the state. (3) P u b l i c Policy Information: In addition to its broader information-sharing function, the Forum seeks greater awareness and understanding of p u b l i c policy issues that effect the sector as a whole. (4) Capacity-BuiIdi ng: Human resource and organizational development in the nonprofit sector are w i d e l y recognized as critical investments for the 1990s. So, w i t h i n the Forum's broad mission of improved sector effectiveness and greater p u b l i c understanding and commitment, the Forum's Steering Committee seeks to increase awareness of resources across the sector and serves as a catalyst for collaborative p l a n n i n g and action. (5) Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the Forum has assumed responsibility for the Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminal now in its third yeat which brings the sector's stakeholders together for day-long presentations and di scussions. The Forum's Steering Committee serves as the governing body. Although it is not intended to represent a l l stakeholders—an impossible task—it does bring together a small number of statewide organizations with broad reach into many fields. The ten founding organizations on the Steering Committee are: Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan Council of Michigan Foundations Michigan Association of School Administrators Michigan Association of School Boards Michigan Community College Association Michigan Council for the Arts M i c h i g a n Health Council Michigan League for Human Services Presidents Council, State Universities of M i c h i g a n United Way of M i c h i g a n � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"To promote the awareness of Michigan's nonprofit sector" Group 1 concluded that a great deal is being done to make the public aware of specific segments of the nonprofit sector, but little is being done to promote general awareness of the sector as a whole. The group discussed four steps which could be taken to address this information gap: !)Clarify public understanding of the identity of the nonprofit sector 2)Combine resources of member agencies to raise the generalawareness 3)Convene educational, legislative, and media groups to educate them 4)Find and recognize outstanding nonprofits II. "To promote the effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector" Group 2 discussed the concept of effectiveness and discussed ten ways in which they felt the overall effectiveness of nonprofits could be increased: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) Share information Broker technical expertise Form a clearinghouse of ideas Share program and service successes Coordinate advocacy on issues of concern Offer professional developmental services (promote expertise for nonprofits) Find ways to introduce philanthropy into public education and the general community Increase positive image of nonprofits (e.g., through the press) Emphasize connection between non- and for-profit sectors Promote the sector's ability to communicate successes �III "To advance the cause of voluntarism" Group 3 discussed the need to (1) promote greater public understanding of the rationale for volunteering, and (2) involve schools and colleges in volunteer efforts to foster a lifelong commitment to volunteering by today's youth. The group made two recommendations: IV. 1) MNF should be supportive of Michigan's volunteer institutions, including at least the thirteen volunteer centers and the United Ways, as they prepare for the President's Points of Light Foundation media blitz and its implications for Michigan. 2) A voluntarism coordinating committee needs to be established through the MNF. This committee would most appropriately be chaired by George Romney. "To advance the cause of philanthropy" Group 4 discussed ten proposals which they felt would advance the cause of philanthropy: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Research and analyze contribution data in Michigan in order to determine where gaps exist. This information should be provided to the Media. Initiate a "Give 5" campaign. Disseminate information on the standards of fundraising. Educate organizations on the Charitable Solicitation Act. Focus on education (K-12). Also focus on foreign companies. Aim to help philanthropy become more pluralistic, i.e., to include minorities. MNF can provide information on various nonprofits, in order to encourage others to improve and collaborate (e.g., for greater costeffectiveness). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Lewis Subject: Update on our Progress As some of you already know, we have made real progress toward implementing the agenda set by the Michigan Volunteer Coalition in June. Chairman George Romney and Co-Chairs Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker and I met in September to review your suggestions and to consider strategies. Based on our discussion, we are laying groundwork for the following: I. Nine regional meetings of leaders, to structure l asting support systems for voluntarism. II. A bipartisan proclamation of 1991 as the Year of t he Volunteer, with integrated and highly-visible activities throughout the year. III . Potential national visibility as a statewide, integrated model for voluntarism. IV. Identification of resources, including strategies for pooling new sources of support as "social venture capital" for local initiatives. Further, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has invited a concept paper from us on this initiative as a statewide effort. We are now circulating an outline for the concept paper and will convene a second meeting of the Michigan Volunteer Coalition in the late fall or early winter. In the meantime, please keep sending your ideas and suggestions of persons we should i nvolve in this endeavor. cc: George Romney, MVC Cha i rman Janet Blanchard, MVC co-Chair Judith Hooker, MVC Co-Chair �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 300 N.

Michigan 48901·82!9 MICHIGAN VOLUNTEER COALITION First Meeting, June 20 1990 Clarion Hotel, Lansing 12:45 PM Governor George Romney, Convener Identifying Sites for Future Volunteer Centers. Based on the morning ' s successful meeting with Governor Blanchard, Senator Engler and political leaders from both sides of the aisle, this afternoon's discussion focussed sharply on the goal of establishing a more extensive infrastructure for voluntarism in Michigan. That qoal represents at least two major objectives, now undertaken by the Michigan Volunteer Coalition: (1) Help to strepgthen and publicize the thirteen existing Michigan volunteer service centers; and (2) Develop a strategy for initiating and cultivating up to thirty new volunteer service centers across the state. In the interest of time, Governor Romney suggested that today's discussion focus on identifying potential sites for new centers. Beg inning with that list, Coalition members will soon be canvassed to identify local contacts for further development. At Governor Romney•s request, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum will serve as a clearinghouse for this information exchange and strategy development: Maryellen J. Lewis Acting Executive Director Michigan Nonprofit Forum (address above) Natural Groupings". Dorothy A. Johnson, President of the Council of Michigan Foundations, suggested that the Coalition seek "natural groupings " of communities when identifying sites, since funding will necessarily be limited . In the following preliminary list, some groupings may be less appropriate than others, for many reasons. However, these seemed to be consensus that these are useful starting points for exploration. 11 Different Forms.

Seven Counties in the Detroit Metro Area John Macinnes, President of United Community Services in Detroit, offered to take leadership in expanding to all 7 counties. Adrian/Leelenau County Edward 0. Slews, President of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universites of Michigan, suggested that Adrian College could be helpful here. In fact, he offered, many of the independent colleges may be willing to participate, and he will now alert them to this opportunity to be of service. Mt.

The Trustees unanimously adopted the policies and proceedings of the MNF Steering Committee as policies of the Board. 3) Review and Adoption of the Bylaws: The Bylaws were moved and duly adopted by a unanimous affirmative vote, after adoption of the following modifications: ARTICLE III, Section 6: A quorum at any duly called meeting of the Trustees shall consist o f not less than a simple majority of the Trustees including not less than one representative fr om each of two-thirds of the ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS and at least one AT-LARGE MEMBER. Any proper action of those present at a duly called and constituted meeting shall be the acti on o f the Board and the Me mbers hip. �ARTICLE IV Section 9: The Executive Director shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Forum.

Austin John s. Lore [Russell G. Mawby, also an incorporator] Helen Milliken George Romney Further, the Trustees agreed to a recommendation by the President of the Council of Baptist Pastors, Rev. Charles Butler, to redirect the Steering Committee's invitation originally intended for that organization. Instead, based on Reverend Butler's recommendation, the Trustees voted unanimously to authorize the Chairman to invite the emerging Michigan Chapter of the Council of National Black Churches to become a member of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum's governing board, upon the Chapter's official establishment. Further, the Trustees by consensus agreed to invite Reverend Butler to serve in the newly-created capacity of Interim Trustee, until such time as the Michigan Chapter officially accepts the invitation for membership and determines its two official representatives/Trustees to serve on the MNF Board, or until the May meeting of the Board. 5) Affirmation of the Officers of the Forum. The following officers, duly nominated and elected by the Steering Committee, were unanimously affirmed by the Trustees: Russell G. Mawby, Chair Helen c. Philpott, Vice Chair Edward 0.

Philpott (Co-Chairs) Further, the Trustees created a new Committee to serve as the Forum's interface with the Michigan Volunteer Coalition, initiated by MNF Trustee George Romney. (The Forum now staffs and coordinates the Coalition.) The Trustees anticipated that the new Committee (the MVC Coordinating Committee) will be chaired by Governor Romney and Co-Chaired by Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker, who also chair and cochair the Coalition. Finally, the Board reviewed and revised the Executive Task Group's draft agenda for the October 16, 1990 Trustees meeting. 7) Financial Reoort.

(Draft GGS/1991 program attached) (b) Computer Bulletin Board: Thomas Bernthal reported that the new MNF computer bulletin board, sponsored by the Michigan Community College Association, will be operational by October 1. He suggested the possibility of an orientation for Trustees in the near future. (c) FACS Michigan Communication Project: Maryellen Lewis reported on this collaboration with the Foundation for American Communications in Los Angeles. Three Journalist Education programs are under development for next spring, each of which will include the nonprofit sector as a central theme: (1) Poverty (with the Michigan League for Human Services), (2) the Environment (with the Michigan Environmental Council), and (3) the Michigan Nonprofit Sector (supported in part by the Detroit News) . Other partners in this effort include the Michigan Press Association and the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. In addition, five ''media relations" workshops are being developed, with the aim of creating networks of nonprofits within regions which can effectively collaborate to inform the public through the news. In the process, MNF is helping to create a statewide organization of nonprofit staff and leaders responsible for public communications. (d) Michiqan Volunteer Coalition: Chairman George Romney and Co-Chairs Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker met with Maryellen Lewis to develop the following strategies: (1) Janet Blanchard will approach the Governor about getting bipartisan support for designating 1991 the Year of the Volunteer in Michigan; (2) Judith Hooker suggested, and the others concurred, that nine regional meetings should be developed to convene leadership teams, develop local strategies, and begin to mobilize support and resources; (3) Governor Romney suggested the possibility that the President's Points of Light Foundation designate Michigan as its one state model, bringing further visibility, prestige and possibly resources to the effort. Since that meeting, Romney and Lewis met with Norman Brown and Joel Orosz at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, leading to their request for a "concept paper" on such a statewide initiative coordinated through the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. �9) The meetinq adjourned at 11:30 a.m. Rt;;x.F{.ed, Edward 0.

Washington Square, Suite405, P.O. Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901-8219 Maryellen J. Lewis, Acting Executive Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to pressing changes and challenges in the nonprofit sector, leaders of ten statewide organizations concerned with voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan met on August 31, 1988 to consider the formation of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. Initially conceived as a mechanism to convene members for joint discussions about shared issues, the Forum has evolved into an entity charged with facilitating a new awareness and increased capacity of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and with interfacing funders, nonprofits and the public (working collaboratively with the existing efforts in the state) to promote voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan. To achieve these goals, the Forum does not itself serve as a trade association, competing for memberships and support with exist ing associations in Michigan. Nor does it provide the field-specific services and advocacy provided by current Michigan associations. Instead, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum creates, for the first time, a statewide mechanism for dialogue, planning and cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. The Forum brings together in its Steering Committee and its design not just traditional charities, but also public and private funders and tax-supported institutions (such as the public schools and universities) that also have an increasinglyrecognized stake. The activities of the Forum address voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary interests but as public goods, which broadly affect the state's economy, polity and quality of life, and which therefore merit caref ul analysis and planning, human resource development, informed public discussion, and dependable investment. MNF Mission and Goals. Nonprofit Forum is: The primary mission of the Michigan to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michiqan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. Toward that end, the Forum promotes dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (heal th, human services, arts and Telephone (517) 371-4360 • FAX (517) 371-4546 �humanities, community development, education, religion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, public and for-profit) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role and significant contributions in Michigan. To accomplish this mission, the Forum undertakes activities in these five areas: 1. Dialogue: The Forum regularly convenes meetings (local, regional and statewide) among sector leaders and stakeholders; it serves as both a resource for understanding and a catalyst for further action. 2. Information Sharing and Research: The Forum compiles and disseminates current information and insights, as a basis for analysis, planning and action. The Forum also works to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars of the nonprofit sector, toward a more solid knowledge base for public policy and practice in the state. 3. Public Policy Information: The Forum seeks greater awareness and understanding of public policy issues that affect the sector as a whole. 4. Capacity-Building: Human resource and organizational development in the nonprofit sector are widely recognized as critical investments for the 1990s. So, within the Forum's broad mission of improved sector effectiveness and greater public understanding and commitment, the Forum promotes greater awareness of resources across the sector and facilitates collaborative planning and action. 5. Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the Forum conducts the annual GrantmakersjGrantseekers Seminar, which brings the sector's stakeholders together for day-long presentations and discussions. �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 300 N.

Johnson, President, Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) RE: Michigan Nonprofit Forum Committee Meeting Notes, August 28, 1989 The meeting was convened for the purpose of reviewing the Forum's present position, in light of Howard Shapiro's departure for New Jersey; and making some decisions on whether, or how, to move forward with this effort. The meeting was initiated by Ed Eagan and Dorothy Johnson. The following persons were in attendance: Edward Blews, Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan; Dorothy Johnson, CMF; Donald Elliott, Michigan Association of School Boards; James Tarrant, Michigan Health Council; Beverley McDonald, Michigan League for Human Services; Edward Eagan, United Way of Michigan; Justin King, Michigan Association of School Boards; Peter Ellis, W. K. Kellogg Foundation; and Linda Patterson, CMF. Committee members reported on recent activities including preliminary thoughts for a November Conference; an invitation extended to Dr. Ellis to attend September meeting of nonprofit associations throughout the United States; and the continued need to develop the Michigan Association. Beverley McDonald, representing the Michigan League for Human Services, and Peter Ellis, will both attend the September meeting of the group in hopes of learning more about how the Michigan Nonprofit Forum might be organized to take advantage of our unique qualities and needs ... research, . .dia relations, legislation, and advocacy. Consensus was reached on the following points: 1. The effort to form a statewide group to -represent the mutual interests of Michigan nonprofit organizations should be continued. The original group of 10 initiating organizations should continue to work together to develop an operating structure and philosophical basis for that group using the "Michigan Nonprofit Forum Concept Paper" as the guiding outline. 2. Plans for a November Conference should be postponed until further organizational development is accomplished. 3. Beverley McDonald and Peter Ellis would attend the September Nonprofit Association Conference and share information with the group. 4. Peter Ellis volunteered to draft a Case Statement for the group which will incorporate the ideas of the concept paper with an operating structure. The Case Statement would respect the uniqueness of �2 Michigan; and the group recognizes that its leadership will come from Forum leaders -- not the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, which is only offering to facilitate a developmental process which might be helpful. 5. Beverley McDonald was asked to draft a characterization describing how the Michigan nonprofit climate is unique from other states. 6. All current members were asked to develop a list of prospective members which might help the forum to accurately represent the state's nonprofit sector. 7. A NEXT MEETING DATE of Monday, October 30, 1989, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon in Lansing, was set with the following agenda in mind: a. A report from Beverley McDonald and Peter Ellis about the nonprofit organizations' meeting which they will be attending in San Francisco September 21-23, 1989. b. Review of the draft Case Statement. c. Discussion of a membership-expansion luncheon which might include a keynote speaker (Jon Pratt from Minnesota) and development workshop sessions to identify pertinent mutual concerns. d. Discussion of an annual nonprofit conference which would include the volunteer leadership of statewide organizations, and present opportunities for networking and issue discussion. The group thanked Peter Ellis for his leadership at this crucial juncture and volunteered to be of individual assistance as needed. He will notify the Forum staff members of the next meeting.

The participants in the meeting were as follows: Thomas M. Bernthal, Executive Director, Michigan Community Col lege Association; Edward 0. Blews, Jr., President, Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan; Donald Elliott, Executive Director, Michigan Association of School Administrators; Barbara Goldman, Executive Director, Michigan Council for the Arts; Justin King, Executive Director, Michigan Association of School Administrators; Beverley McDonald, Executive Director, Michigan League for Human Services; Linda Patterson, representing Dorothy A Johnson, President, Council of Michigan Foundations; Glenn Stevens. Executive Director, Presidents Council of State Universities of Michigan; James R. Tarrant, President, Michigan Health Council; and, Howard L. Shapiro, President, United Way of Michigan. Mr. Shapiro .opened the meeting with a review of the minutes of the November 29, 1988 meeting. It was suggested that future minutes need not be as detailed and only provide a summary and action items. There was brief discussion of the role of Kellogg Foundation and the need for their participation and support. It was pointed out that Dr. Mawby had requested to be kept informed and aware of the activities of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. It was also recognized that the Forum may need to turn to Kellogg Foundation for special proJects. The agenda and discussion centered on the planning for the luncheon meeting at which Governor James Blanchard would be asked to speak to a wide spectrum of nonprofit organizations. It would be important to demonstrate for the Governor the size of the nonprofit movement and their need to hear from public officials regarding the nonprofit movement. The focus of the Forum luncheon would be to highlight the goals of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum and the State's interest in this through: - promoting voluntarism - encouraging service to the community -state policy for nonprofit sector - role of the nonprofit organization - relationship of nonprofits to the concept of public/private sector partnership. �Page 2- Michigan Nonprofit Forum Meeting of January 23, 1989 The Forum luncheon and meeting would have a two-pronged strategy. In addition to trying to establish the most favorable climate for the nonprofit sector to operate, we want to establish the methods to improve the quality of life for the community and the state. The Forum luncheon would also be an opportunity for all the people who come to meet to generate the agenda --- through working sessions --- for the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. This would be the mechanism for identifying issues of significance, policies that need our attention and the comn1on elements that need our attention. In preparation for securing the Governor / s participation, we need to provide the Governor with information and facts regarding the rich diversity of the nonprofit sector. Also, each of us could talk about our constituencies and its representatives. It was also important to begin talking to the policy people in the Governor / s office so that they would be familiar with our efforts. It was also felt that this should be a targeted invitation list which will focus on key volunteer leadership. A date for the Forum was the Fal 1 of 1989 but a specific date will await a report from each of the organizations regarding their calendars. A subgroup was formed to work out the specific details of the Forum and includes: Edward Blews, Glenn Stevens, Beverley McDonald, Justin King and Howard Shapiro. This subgroup will meet on February 23, 1989 and report to the ful 1 committee of Chief Executive Officers at the meeting on February 27, 1989. The meeting was then adjourned for lunch. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The participants in the meeting were as follows: Mr. James R. Tarrant, President, Michigan Health Council; Mr. Richard E. Marburger, Chairman, and Mr. Edward 0. Blews, Jr., President, Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan; Mr. Calvin Patterson, III, representing the Chairman; Mrs. Dorothy A. Johnson, President, Council of Michigan Foundations; Mr. Donald Elliott, Executive Director, Michigan Association of School Administrators; Ms. Mary Jason, Immediate Past President; and Mr. Justin King, Executive Director, Michigan Association of School Boards; Ms. Shirley Stock, representing the President and the Executive Director, Michigan Community College Association; Ms. Barbara Goldman, Executive Director, Michigan Council for the Arts; Mr. Ernest C. Browne, Jr., Chairman, Mr. Herb Yamanishi, representing the Executive Director, Michigan League for Human Services; Mr. Arend Lubbers, Chairman and Mr. Glenn Stevens, Executive Director, Presidents Council of State Universities of Michigan; and Mr. Fulton Eaglin, Chairman, and Mr. Howard L. Shapiro, Executive Director, United Way of Michigan. Other participants in the meeting were Ms. Linda Patterson, Council of Michigan Foundations, and Drs. Peter R. Ellis and Joel J. Orosz, W. K. Kellogg Foundation. The meeting was chaired by Dr. Russell G. Mawby, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Dr. Mawby opened the meeting and then introduced Michael Cox, Esq., Dean, Cooley Law School. Dean Cox welcomed the Michigan Nonprofit Forum to the Law School, and then departed. The next order of business was introductions all around. The first item on the agenda was the introduction of the first speaker, Mr. Robert Smucker, Vice President for Governmental Affairs of INDEPENDENT SECTOR (IS) of Washington, DC. Mr. Smucker's remarks are summarized below. Mr. Smucker said that the Michigan Nonprofit Forum was part of the growing movement across the country. Similar activities are underway in Colorado, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York. Smucker began by talking about two terrible defeats that the independent sector had suffered in recent legislative and regulatory activity. In 1981, the charitable deduction for nonitemizers was passed, but sunsetted after five years. In 1986, Congress allowed this �2 legislation to die. This meant that 70 million Americans lost the right to deduct their gifts to charity. In the two years following, it has been found that nonitemizers are very sensitive to tax ~ o licy, and the amount they have given has dropped off dramatically. Also, in 1986 Congress disallowed gifts of appreciated property and instituted an alternative minimum tax. All of these measures have greatly crippled the amount given to charity. Smucker then turned to some victories that IS has won including the withdrawal of the proposed 5 percent excise tax on the profits of private foundations, and the withdrawal by the IRS (something which rarely happens) of new and onerous lobbying regulations. Smucker then went on to consider some legislative and regulatory concerns in detail. The first is the Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT). The purpose of this legislation is to broaden the tax on the income-producing activities of nonprofits. It is sponsored by Representative J. J. Pickel of Austin, Texas. Its impact would be to add additional taxes on such things as catalog and bookstore sales, medical equipment, travel and tourism activities, affinity credit cards, merchandising royalties, and advertising by nonprofit organizations. The problem with this legislation is that you cannot "rif le shot." For instance, it proposes to tax anything sold by museums which are either "functional or decorative." The problem with this is that the Girl Scouts, who are also a nonprofit organization, sell uniforms, which are functional; therefore, they woul d be taxed just as would museums. The question is, how well are nonprofits already reporting their unrelated business income? If they are doing a good job, there is no need for further tax. If they are evading reporting, then a further tax would be necessary. IS supports honest reporting, and has recently requested that the IRS gather better information about the reporting accuracy of nonprofit organizations. The propects for passage are about fifty-fifty. Chances of passage would be greater if the small business community as a whole was excited about it, but that is not so. Most of the complaining comes from some trade organizations. The next concern was regulations governing lobbying. The purpose of these new regulations is to implement the 1976 laws governing lobbying. The IRS came out with the new regulations in 1986. They clarified the 1976 law, but they were absolutely draconian. They raised a storm of protest and the IRS finally withdrew them, something that it rarely does. IS feels that a major modification of those proposed regulations is needed. The revised regulations will be out within two months. The biggest concern is the question of what constitutes lobbying by a nonprofit organization. The key here is the so-called "call to action" issue. IS feels that in order for an appeal to be called lobbying, it must be specific; that is, it must name a particular bill, call upon a particular member of Congress, and suggest a vote, one way or the other. The line between education, whi~h is a legitimate nonprofit function, and lobbying, which is considered an illegitamate nonprofit function, is very fine. One perfectly legal way to get around this problem is �3 for a 50l(C)(3) organization to set up a 50l(C)(4) organization in order to carry on lobbying. The next topic Mr. Smucker addressed was the nonitemizer deduction. Reinstitution of the nonitemizer deduction would allow 70 million non i temizers to deduct charitable contributions from their federal income tax. Such a measure will be introduced in the next session. If passed, it would increase giving, and it would also be fair. IS fee l s that if higher-income Americans have a right to deduct their charitable contributions, so should lower income Americans. This is a s i mple matter of equity. IS's staff and others have been having preliminary discussions with staffers on Capitol Hill in the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. IS hopes to have a bill available for possible action by late in 1989. Its propects, quite frankly, are limited for the near future. However, one must remember that such a measure is fair, and that it will also increase giving to philanthropy, and in the long run Mr. Smucker feels that it can pass. At this point, Mr. Eaglin asked that since it was a matter of equity, what were the chances that someone would bring a lawsuit to force this equality. Mr. Smucker said he knew of no such activity on the horizon, and felt it would be very difficult to sue the government on this point. The next subject Mr. Smucker addressed was that of tax deductability for gifts of appreciated property. IS is looking for a sponsor for a bill that would drop gifts of appreciated property from the alternative minimum tax. They have found no sponsor as yet. The impact would be to increase giving, especially upon upper-income contributors. Recently, IS staffers and others have visited with the Joint Committee staff (that is the Joint Staff between the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee), in order to attempt to get this bill sponsored. IS supports such a bill, although it has frankly limited prospects in the Congress as it is now made up. Higher education institutions will need to take the lead in order to get this passed. The next subject Mr. Smucker addressed was that of volunteer liability protection legislation. This would have the effect of giving volunteers immunity from civil liability for acts committed in their capacity as volunteers. Senator Melcher (D-Montana) and Congressman Porter (R-Illinois) are the sponsors of this legislation. Its impact would be to encourage volunteering by removing the fear of liability. This bill has many co-sponsors, but little action has been taken on it so far. IS supports it on one condition. In its original incarnation, this bill used a stick approach; that is, it threatened to reduce by one percent federal bloc k grants to any state not enacting similar legislation. IS now supports it because a carrot approach is being used; that is, all states enacting similar legislation will be given a one percent increase in federal block grants. Prospects for this bill are fift y-fifty at best. It should be mentioned that 40 states currently provide varying levels of protection for volunteers, although direct-service volunteers are generally omitted from these statutes. �4 Mr. Smucker then moved on to some predictions about the future. He feels that there will be a tax bill in 1989. That bill will propose a five percent excise tax on nonprofit organizations. He also fears that the same bill will propose a two percent floor for charitable deductions. That is, only those charitable deductions that are above two percent of adjusted gross income will be deductible. He feels that that is a terrible threat to the nonprofit world since the most recent statistics suggest that the average giver contributes about 2.1 percent of his adjusted gross income. Therefore, a two percent floor would effectively abolish charitable deductions for all but the wealthiest givers. Mr. Smucker closed by saying that IS is attempting to get a meeting with President-elect Bush and his senior staffers in order to inform them of the issues and concerns of importance to nonprofit organizations. Dr. Mawby then introduced the second speaker, Stephen Zimmerman of the Lansing office of the Detroit law firm, Dykema and Gossett. Mr. Zimmerman brought with him an associate in his office, Cindy Wilson. Zimmerman's topic was "Public Act 170 and its Proposed Amendments." Public Act 170 took effect on January 1, 1988. It introduced two areas of change in the law with regard to nonprofit organizations. The first was in the area of director liability, the second in the area of corporate indemnification of directors and officers. The backdrop for this law is a growing crisis in the liability arena for nonprofit organizations. A Gallup Poll in 1987 showed that 20 percent of nonprofit organizations in Michigan had directors resign or refuse to serve because of liability concerns. Directors and officers (D&O) insurance is going up rapidly, but anyone who can afford to buy it is increasingly doing so. Public Act 170 was passed to address this situation. Mr. Zimmerman then discussed the limitations on liability protection for directors under Public Act 170. First, it applies only to the act i vities carried on by a person discharging the duties of a director, not to all acts that person may carry on. The person must be a volunteer director, that is he must not be substantially paid for his services. It does not take effect until an amendment to the art i cles of incorporation of the organization is made. For trade associations specifically: • it applies only to suits brought by the association or its members • there is no protection for suits brought by a third party • it does not apply to the officers or the committee members of the trade association, only to the directors • there is no protection for disloyal conduct, bad faith, improper personal benefit, or gross negligence Zimmerman said that there is a special provision of the law meant to apply only to 50l(C)(30 organizations. This provision offers complete protection for volunteer directors from third party suits. In fact, �5 the law was poorly written in this section, for it applies to all acts or omissions, including gross negligence. Zimmerman pointed out, however, that this is a mistake in the law that does not have to be repeated in the organization's bylaws. When the bylaws are amended, the organization can specifically exclude liability from disloyal conduct, bad faith, improper personal benefit, and gross negligence. Zimmerman then addressed a question from Ms. Goldman with regard to the distinction between director liability and corporate indemnification. Ms. Goldman's question was, if the director is not at all liable to suits, why does he have to be indemnified? Zimmerman answered that while the directors are not subject to liability, there may be subject to some expenses to prove that they are not. Therefore, the indemnification clause of the law guarantees that the corporation that they are serving will indemnify them, or cover their expenses, for providing this proof. Zimmerman went on to say that we must remember that exposure does not go away. If the individual director is not liable for an act, the organization which he serves then becomes liable for that act. Therefore, the individual may not have any trouble, but the organization still has the difficulty of fighting that suit. Zimmerman then went on to explain about corporate indemnification. He defined indemnification as payment for expenses that a director has when being sued in his capacity as a director. However, this law applies not only to directors, but also to officers, employees, agen ts, committee members, and trustees. It permits indemnification for any expenses including penalities. It requires the payment of actual and reasonable attorney fees in mandatory indemnification. It permits decision on indemnification by council opinion. It allows for par t ial indemnification, should that be necessary. It permits nonprofit corporations to advance expenses, and allows brother indemnification by contract, by law, or articles than provided by sta t ute. Mr. Zimmerman's next topic was the pending amendments to Public Act 170. The first is senate bill number 747 which amends the nonprofit corporation act relating to limiting the liability of a volunteer director. There are three such limits: • for breach of directors' fiduciary duty arising under nonprofit corporation act or other applicable law • for 50l(C)(3) corporations, acts or omissions of a volunteer director incurred in the good faith performance of the volunteer director's duties • "volunteer director" defined as a director who does not receive anything of more than nominal value from the corporation for serving as a director Senate Bill Number 747. has passed the Senate and is in the House Judiciary Committee at. the moment. �6 Senate Bill Number 849 amends the uniform management of institutional funds act to permit provisions of articles of incorporation relating to limiting the liability of the member of the governing board of an institutional fund. Its language parallels nonprofit corporation act amendments. Mr. Zimmerman then considered a couple of problems pertaining to all the current nonprofit liability legislation. The first problem is that if a corporation picks up all liabilities of an officer or a director without relating it to that officer or director's performance, it could jeopardize the corporation's 50l(C)(3) status. In short, it could become an inurement, a personal benefit for the director. The second problem is an indirect liability problem. What happens, for instance, if a board member injures a pedestrian on the way home from a meeting? Is that board member still covered by liability and indemnification? Mr. Zimmerman closed by raising some issues for trade association executives. The first question is, should the association adopt the changes? Usually, the answer is yes. The second question is, does the association's chief executive officer have sufficient protection? This is a question which will require a professional evaluation from an attorney. The third question is, should all staff be protected by expanded indemnification? The answer to this is probably not. A good rule of thumb is to protect only those who are directly responsible to the board, such as the officers. There may be a partial indemnification of other employees, but it would be unwise to fully indemnify each and every employee. The fourth question is, who are the association's "officers"? This is a question which must be settled by identifying them by name of position very specifically in the bylaws of the organization. Zimmerman feels that Public Act 170 and its amendments offer tremendous benefits for associations. It offers some protection for board members from member suits, it encourages association executives and members to serve on charitable 50l(C)(3) Boards, and it permits broader indemnification which can protect individual officers, directors, and executives. The bad news, however, is that it may not affect insurance rates for directors and · officers liability. On the surface, it would seem to be likely to drive these rates down, but we will have to wait until the whole appeals process is played out and then until insurance companies can see what practical difference that the law makes in their payments. There is, after all, no change in the underlying risks which apply to the business of nonprofit organizations. In response to a question, Mr. Zimmerman acknowledged that there is a proposal before the Michigan House to provide full immunity for volunteers from tort liability. He feels that it will probably die during this session. A group discussion then followed in which Howard Shapiro pointed out that the whole question UBIT is part of the larger question of profit versus nonprofit competition. Shapiro pointed out that state government (public nonprofits) are one of the biggest culprits, �7 especially in the field of printing. He suggested that perhaps a subcommittee of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum could meet with small business leaders and with representative Debbie Stabenow, the chairman of the small business subcommittee of the House. Shapiro also pointed out that there is no statewide charitable deduction at the state level. He said that we desperately need one. Shapiro feels that these two things, taken together, could help to reduce conflicts between nonprofit and for-profit organizations. Herb Yamanishi responded that he feels that many of these conflicts can be traced to the underlying issue of how best to finance government. Glenn Stevens pointed out that the President's Council of State Universities of Michigan has already established links to small business associations and to Debbie Stabenow. Stevens pointed out that the President's Council will be happy to work together with any of the other Michigan nonprofit forum organizations to strengthen and expand those links and that dialogue. Dr. Mawby then raised the issue of next steps. He announced to the Forum that the Kellogg Foundation would be bowing out of future direct participation. He said that the Foundation had been delighted to serve as the fair broker to call this group together, but since the group had decided to continue meeting and was gaining momentum in doing so, the Kellogg Foundation would now step back. The Foundation would continue to be represented at the table by the Council of Michigan Foundations, and would be happy to be helpful in the future directly if some staff members had expertise which the Forum wished to call upon. Dr. Mawby suggested that a rotating steering committee be formed to insure that next meeting would indeed be held. Fulton Eaglin, and Howard Shapiro announced their intention to host the next meeting. Glenn Stevens then volunteered to serve on the steering committee. Arend (Don) Lubbers said that he felt that taking a turn on the steering committee from time to time should be built into the job descriptions of each executive in the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. Thereupon, Ed Blews also volunteered to serve on the steering committee. Fulton Eaglin then took the floor and announced that he was concerned that the vision of the group was becoming too limited; reduced to just getting the job done. He feels that the Forum could serve a far more important function of networking and building alliances for change. In order to grow, he felt that it was important to lure truly important speakers to the group. Lubbers agreed, and mentioned the experience of the City Club of Cleveland, which consistently attracts national leaders to speak to its gatherings. Eaglin pointed out that Governor Blanchard might accept an invitation, as might former President Ford. Robert Teeter, a top aide to President-elect Bush, is a client of Mr. Eaglin's law firm, and could be brought in. Through him, it might be possible to even get President Bush to speak. Eaglin felt that it was tremendously important for the Forum to continue to get good speakers as the glue to hold it together. Lubbers responded that he felt that that was a true forum. Dr. Peter Ellis announced that the first meeting of the Michigan Grantmakers and Grantseekers would be held on May 2, 1989, and perhaps could provide a prototype for such meetings. �8 Mr. Eaglin then suggested that the goal for the next meeting would be to get Governor Blanchard to be the speaker. He felt that the entire group, that is the directors, volunteers, and the executives should be in on this, and perhaps a broader group of nonprofit organizations as well. Dr. Ellis then suggested that each organization concentrate on pub licizing the Forum more widely in their own publications. Ms. Goldman then pointed out that the steering committee should have numbers from three different sectors on it, that it should not be all education, or all health, or all the arts, or all human services. Goldman also pointed out that the group as constituted left out a lar ge subsector of the independent sector, that is, the churches. Dr . Mawby then summed up the decisions that were taken. The next meeting of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum will consist of all of the executive directors, who will serve as a steering committee of the whole for the time being. At that meeting, important decisions should be made, especially about the future direction of the Forum, and then the steering committee could be reduced to three -- one each from a different sector. It would also be understood that the steering committee membership would rotate from time to time. The next meeting of the full group would be a forum with the Governor speaking, and it would be held in Lansing. It was left to the 10 executive directors, at their next meeting, to iron out the details of this broad outline. The meeting was then adjourned for lunch. 1052N ipc � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The executive directors of nine of the ten organizations were able to attend. The exception was Justin King of the Michigan Association of School Boards, who was represented by his deputy, Sam Sniderman. In addition to the above-named, participants included Linda Patterson, Council of Michigan Foundations, and Joel Orosz, W. K. Kellogg Foundation. The group quickly came to consensus that they wished to continue meeting in order to share issues and concerns, but had no desire to establish a formal organization of any type. They also agreed that one of the most immediate and pressing challenges faced by all Michigan Nonprofits is in the arena of legislative and regulatory concerns. Specifically, the leading concerns are: 1. 2. 3. The Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) Tax-deductibility of contributions Directors', officers', and volunteers' liability Pete then asked Howard Shapiro to share his concept paper with the group. This statement recognized that nonprofit organizations in Michigan face many common concerns, including legislative and regulatory challenges; education; increasing philanthropy; research; recognition of the sector; economic impact of nonprofit organizations; and media aarke~ing activitie~ The paper describes a "Michigan Nonprofit Forum," which "would be a group of nonprofit organizations which would come together for the purpose of discussion, planning and collaboration on issues which affect the nonprofit movement in Michigan.'' Shapiro believed that it should be a "group [which] would serve without an established set of bylaws or structure." The board chair and the chief executive of each participating organization would continue to serve as a committee of the whole, and staffing needs would be met by the organizations working collaboratively. The Shapiro paper was met with approval. The members unanimously endorsed the name "Michigan Nonprofit Forum," and agreed that they should not establish a formal organization but rather an informal network. They did suggest minor editorial changes. Shapiro will revise the concept paper based upon those suggestions, then share this new version with Pete Ellis and Joel Orosz for group distribution. The Committee then agreed that the next legislat ive and regulatory concerns and not-for-profit sector. Since these are it was decided to structure the meeting meeting should focus upon their impact on the common to every organization, so that both the CEOs and the �Chairmen will attend. The meeting is planned for Tuesday, November 29, at the fifth floor Faculty Library at the Thomas M. Cooley School of Law in Lansing. It will be hosted by the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan. The format will include presentations on legislative and regulatory issues nationally, from Bob Smucker, vice president for Government Relat i ons of INDEPENDENT SECTOR. This will be followed by a similar talk f rom a statewide perspective by Richard D. McLellan, a partner in the Lansing office of the Detroit law firm of Dykema & Gosset. After the presentations, there will be time for the participants' discussion on these issues, or any of the steps taken thus far, and to the consideration of future actions. The process will be as follows: Dottie Johnson and Glenn Stevens will co-chair the program committee for November 29, with Johnson taking the lead in securing the national speaker, and Stevens taking responsibility for lining up the statewide speaker. Meeting invit a tions and other logistics will be handled cooperatively among Stevens, Ed Blews, and Joel Orosz. Shapiro will revise the concept paper in light of suggestions received, then submit it to Pete Ellis for group distribution. This concept paper will then be forwarded to all CEOs and chairmen, along with Joel Orosz' summary of the October 17 meeting, and Russ Mawby's invitation to attend the November 29 meeting. Each organization will then review the concept paper individually, and send suggested changes (if any) to WKKF. As a part of this review process, each group will include a suggested prioritization of the issues facing the nonprofits in Michigan. It was decided that the Forum should discipline itself initially to do no more than it can handle effectively. For that reason, the decision was made to concentrate on legislative and regulatory concerns exclusively for the time being. In order to facilitate cooperation, the organizations agreed to exchange all of each others' publications. Finally, the group photograph of the first meeting was distributed to all participants. 0569Y �CONCEPT PAPER MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BACKGROUND We affirm that nonprofit organizations in Michigan have common interests and goals even though the specific purposes for which they were formed are different. The nonprofit sector is facing challenges and opportunities that require collaboration -- enabling all nonprofits to benefit from a shared relationship and utilizing the best skills and strengths of each organization. There are areas of mutual interest for all nonprofits, including: 1. Promote awareness of the role, diversity, capacity, and impact of the sector. 2. Research; 3. Media and marketing activities; 4. Legislative and regulatory issues and concerns, at both the state and national level; 5. Advocacy; 6. Education and Leadership Development, both volunteer and professional; 7. Increasing philanthropy and encouraging volunteerism; 8. Recognition of the nonprofit sector, especially the economic impact of nonprofit organizations. 9. Program progress and services which strengthen the ability of nonprofit agencies to fulfill us their missions. PURPOSE The Michigan Nonprofit Forum is a network of nonprofit organizations united for the purpose of discussion, planning and collaborative action on issues which affect the nonprofit movement in Michigan. This is achieved through special meetings, conferences and the exchange of material relative to specific topics identified as high priority . �2 ORGANIZATION The Michigan Nonprofit Forum is an informal network, the members of whic h are determined by the initial nonprofit organizations participating in this effort. It serves without an established set of bylaws or formal structure. Staffing needs are met by the nonp r ofit organizations and shift depending on the need or capability being sought. The chief volunteer and executive officer of each organization serve as a committee of the whole with assignments being made to specific groups of persons or to an individual. Meetings are determined on the basis of specific projects and the timeliness required or on an "as needed" basis to be determined by any of the nonprofit organizations. The organizations come together at least quarterly for a planned activ ity or for general sharing of information and ideas. ACTIVITIES The Michigan Nonprofit Forum would become an organization that may build joint activities and programs to meet specific needs iden t ified by the organization's leadership. This may include: 1. Legislative coalitions on issues affecting the nonprofit movement at the state and federal level and which are best served by bringing together nonprofit groups to respond as a united force, on issues such as tax deductions for nonprofits, reductions in federal/state support and unrelated business income tax regulations; 2. Conferences and educational seminars on topics of related interest or for the purpose of training volunteers or professionals in special skill areas or on topics which affect the nonprofit movement; 3. Research projects in order to expand the knowledge in theory and practice of nonprofit organizations as well as to study the impact of nonprofit organizations from the economic, volunteer or service activity level; 4. Marketing and media activities to promote a positive image of nonprofit organizations and offer recognition for outstanding efforts of donors, volunteers, and professionals; 5. Volunteer leadership development to improve skills in individuals to serve as volunteers and board members for nonprofit organizations and to identify persons to serve in this role. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ten leading nonprofit organizations in the state of Michigan were represented. The participants and a brief description of the organization follows: Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan v (AICUM) -- represented by Richard Marburger, Chairman of the Board, and Edward Blews, Jr., President. A membership association of Michigan's private colleges and universities-- chief function is advocacy. Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) -- represented by John E. Marshall, III, Chairman of the Board, and Dorothy Johnson, President. A membership association of Michigans' foundations and corporate giving programs -- chief functions are technical assistance and advocacy. Michigan Association of School Administrators (MASA) -represented by James Doyle, President of the Board, and Donald Elliott, Executive Director. A membership organization composed of school superintendents of central office administrators chief functions are technical assistance and advocacy. Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) -- represented by Mary Jason, President of the Board, and Justin King, Executive Director. A membership organization including every school district in Michigan -- chief functions are inservice training, conferences, and superintendent searches. Michigan Health Council (MHC) -- represented by Terence Davies, M.D., Chairman of the Board, and James Tarrant, Executive Director. Chief functions are to serve as a convenor and facilitator, to support health promotion efforts, and advocacy. Michigan Community College Association (MCCA) -- represented by Thomas M. Bernthal, Executive Director, (Richard Calkins, President of the Board, had planned to attend but was detained by an emergency) -- chief functions are inservice training and advocacy. Michigan Council for the Arts (MCA) -- represented by Kathryn Martin (a board member designated as the surrogate for Leon S. Cohan, Chairman of the Board), and Barbara "Bunny" Goldman, ~ v �Executive Director -- chief functions are support for artists and promotion of the arts. Michigan League for Human Services (MLHS) -- represented by Ernest C. Browne, Jr., Chairman of the Board, and Beverley ~ McDonald, Executive Director -- chief functions are research, advocacy, and administration of the Michigan Emergency Cash Flow Loan Fund for nonprofit organizations. Presidents Council of State Universities of Michigan (PCSUM) -represented by Arend "Don" Lubbers, Chairman of the Board, and Glenn Stevens, Executive Director -- chief functions are a convening and self-regulating role among state universities. United Way of Michigan (UWM) -- represented by Fulton B. Eaglin, Chairman of the Board, and Howard L. Shapiro, Executive Director --chief function is to serve as the coordinator for the state's 106 autonomous local United Ways. The meeting was convened in the Kellogg Room by Russell G. Mawby, who explained that WKKF had decided to convene the meeting because it seemed that Michigan's nonprofit sector faced common challenges and opportunities. In terms of challenges, all nonprofits are concerned with challenges to the tax-deductibility of contributions, contemplated changes in the Unrelated Business Income Tax, reductions in federal support, and the elimination of the nonitemizer deduction. In terms of opportunities, there seemed to be great potential for mutually beneficial actions through cooperation, which had never been tried before in Michigan. Dr. Mawby then sketched out seven areas of mutual interest for all nonprofits: Education (general, preservice, inservice); Increasing philanthropy (expanding the philanthropic "pie"); Legislative/Regulatory arena (promoting positive legislation and r egulation); Research (expanding the frontiers of knowledge in theory and in practice); Recognition of the nonprofit sector (assuring that donors, volunteers, and professionals receive due credit and praise); Economic impact of nonprofit organizations (to demonstrate how many jobs and how much economic activity is directly traceable to this sector); and Media (to proaote poaitift coverage and aftrt aaaetiw coverage). v v/ �In the discussion that followed, Dr. Mawby asked the assembled leaders to add to, subtract from, disagree, or agree with the list. The viewpoints of the leaders showed a great diversity of opinion. Stevens and Blews felt that the basic concern for NPOs lay in legislative and regulatory initiatives. Eaglin, on the other hand, saw the "shrinking pie" to be the paramount issue. Davies felt that education was most important. Elliott's main concern was to raise public awareness of the nonprofit sector. Marburger commented that it was important to discover a "single concept" to recommend to funders. Shapiro felt that the real issue was competition between the nonprofits which is counterproductive and wastes much time, money, and effort. Given the discussion, it seems sensible to say that "reducing competition" should become number eight on the list. Blews suggested another addition, that of voluntary leadership. Martin agreed that this is important, but McDonald believed that it could lead to a tendency to forget the importance of volunteers who do essential but unglamorous tasks. Accordingly, "voluntary leadership" should be added to the list as number nine. The meeting then adjourned for lunch. The group divided into three subgroups led respectively by Lubbers, Shapiro, and Johnson. A list of people at each of the three tables is appended. Each group was charged to consider the questions of whether this meeting was useful, whether it would be desirable to meet again, whether any other group should be invited, and if so, to name the group/groups. The three leaders reported as follows at the end of lunch: Table 1 (Lubbers) -- The meeting has been very useful. Only the CEOs should meet again in Lansing to set goals for future cooperation. CMF's Improving Philanthropy effort could provide staff work for this effort. Other groups could and should be invited but not until this effort becomes more mature. Table 2 (Shapiro) -- This has been a useful meeting which could be the first step toward a statewide nonprofit organization council. There should be another meeting like this one (that is, with both board and CEO involvement) in Lansing, and Stevens volunteered the facilities of PCSUM as the venue. It is probably premature to add other organizations at this time but eventually religion must be included. Table 3 (Johnson) -- The meeting has been useful possibly as the f irst step towards a Michigan Nonprofit Coalition (not a formal organization, but a coalition of organizations). WKKF should convene a meeting of the CEOs only in Lansing. The group should not be expanded at this time, but ultimately more health r epresentation and youth-serving groups will need to be included. It was decided that the organization would stay the same size for now, that there would be a meeting of CEOs only at PCSUM offices in Lansing in early autumn. The meeting concluded with a group portrait. �Subsequently, the meeting of the Executive Directors was set for October 17, 1988, at the PCSUM offices in Lansing. Peter R. Ellis and Joe l J. Orosz will represent WKKF. 0947N/wpc6 �Table Assignments August 31, 1988 ..._, Table 1 Lubbers Maw by Eaglin Doyle Jason Tarrant McDonald Patterson Table 2 Shapiro Orosz Marburger Marshall King Stevens Goldman Table 3 Johnson Ellis Blews Elliot Davies Bernt hal Browne Martin � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Reporting Dates: Mid-year report, June 30, 2005 Final report, December 31, 2005 1 �Program Narrative Purpose The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) will support Michigan’s Promise’s support of the Women and Girls in Service to Children and Youth Initiative of the United Way of America and America’s Promise: The Alliance for Youth. CMA and Michigan’s Promise will work with United Way of Michigan and the CMA partners to provide support to the Women’s Initiative Communities and the Communities of Promise that wish to focus on the areas this initiative will highlight. Background CMA is a powerful force for volunteerism. It has forged an innovative partnership with four model organizations (Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact and Volunteer Centers of Michigan) to unite their efforts and to sustain and expand Michigan's volunteer infrastructure in a way that separate organizations cannot. Its endowment fund ensures the resources necessary for stability and long- term success of our state’s volunteer infrastructure. CMA's focus includes four critical areas: youth volunteerism, community volunteerism, higher education, and training and technical assistance. Building on Governor George Romney's vision that volunteers can change our world, CMA works to provide opportunities for every individual to give back to their community now and in the future. Michigan’s Promise is a program of the CMA and is working a three-year strategic plan to elevate the profile of the Promise in Michigan, engage community and state leaders, deepen grassroots support, and determine the methods of sustainability that can continue the effective efforts of the Promise. In addition, Michigan is fortunate that Governor Jennifer M. Granholm and First Gentleman, Daniel Mulhern have championed a focus on gaining mentors for youth in our state. This campaign, known as Mentor Michigan, is seeking 10,000 new mentors by 2006. The ConnectMichigan Alliance is working to join the Mentor Michigan campaign with Michigan’s Promise and its first promise. Program Elements Michigan’s Promise will utilize the America’s Promise funds to support the Women’s Initiative communities and the Michigan Communities of Promise sites in their efforts to encourage mentoring, philanthropy and volunteerism, and other areas of the Promise. Activities will include: 1. Convening Communities: Women’s Initiative Communities and Michigan Communities of Promise will be convened annually to share best practices; learn strategies on philanthropy, volunteerism and mentoring; and evaluate progress toward meeting community goals. Michigan’s Promise will also bring together the communities and partners (state and national) via conference calls on a bi-monthly basis to “check in” and ensure that community needs are being addressed. 2 �2. Training and Technical Assistance: Women’s Initiative Communities and Michigan Communities of Promise will have access to local, regional, or statewide training opportunities in areas based on individual community need. Training topics may include working with youth, mentoring, fundraising, board development and forging community partnerships. 3. Scholarships: Twelve scholarships will be made available to individuals and organizations from Women’s Initiative and Michigan’s Promise communities to attend conferences, meetings and learning opportunities related to the program. The six Women’s Initiative Communities will each be guaranteed a scholarship and the remaining six will be available to Communities of Promise on a competitive basis based on a work plan and application. 4. Communication/Marketing Strategies: The work of this project will be published on the CMA/Michigan’s Promise website to include activities, partnerships, and a library of tools specific to these communities to advance their work (costs may be lower if Promise Station can be utilized for this purpose without additional costs). In addition, quarterly e-newsletters will be published statewide and beyond as a way of celebrating and sharing the work of the initiative. Finally, and comprehensive final report will be developed to publish the lessons learned, challenges and future directions of the initiative. 5. Research: The work of the communities involved in this initiative will be supported through statewide research tools. These will include women’s philanthropy issues researched as part of Michigan’s annual Volunteering and Giving survey (see http://www.mnaonline.org/pdf/givingvol2003.pdf). In addition, communities will have data on mentoring in Michigan available to them through the Mentor Michigan Census. (see: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/MM_Census_10-04_109098_7.pdf). 6. Recognition: Local successes with this initiative should be celebrated to demonstrate to the public the cause and how philanthropy, volunteerism and mentoring can work to improve communities. Public recognition can also raise the profile of the work and encourage others to participate. This program will make eight recognition grant awards available to Women’s Initiative and Promise communities on a competitive basis. Applicants will be reviewed by a review panel made up of CMA partners, Michigan’s Promise Leadership Council members and designees from the Women’s Initiative partners. Local press conferences will be held to announce the awards. Sustainability Often program designs and proposals describe the sustainability of an initiative as a final point or as a future dream based on the availability of outside funding sources. Michigan’s Promise is different. Michigan’s Promise is part of the ConnectMichigan Alliance which uses its broad partnerships, cohesive organizational structure and its long horizon financial base ($20 million endowment) to incubate, launch and foster various programs like the Promise in Michigan. The Women’s Initiative funding will help grow 3 �the reach of the Promise and support efforts to increase philanthropy in Michigan, but the ConnectMichigan Alliance and its partner organizations will hopefully be able to integrate and support the outcomes of this funding for the long term. In addition, Michigan’s Promise will utilize the Women’s Initiative Funding to incorporate new communities into the Michigan’s Promise network of Communities of Promise (Currently, only Metro Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids serve both as elements of the Women’s Initiative and as Communities of Promise. See list attached). The ConnectMichigan Alliance is delighted to join in a partnership with America’s Promise, the Corporation for National and Community Service and United Way to launch and support the Women’s Initiative. In fact, this is the very type of activity the ConnectMichigan Alliance was designed to support.
