MICHIG~N
An Overview of Programs and Services

INTRODUCTION

Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is a state association of 31 member volunteer centers. VCM
exists to support local volunteer centers in their efforts to mobilize people and resources to deliver
creative solutions to community problems. The mission ofVCM is to strengthen existing volunteer
centers, to provide leadership in developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerism
statewide.
VCM is affiliated with the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA). The mission ofMNA is to promote
the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause ofvolunteerism
and philanthropy in the state. MNA serves as the fiscal agent for VCM. VCM member directors serve as
the VCM Operating Council, and are represented on the MNA Board of Trustees.
Through its affiliation with MNA, VCM also works closely with Michigan Campus Compact, an
association of Michigan universities and colleges which promotes citizenship by encouraging service
experiences for students.
In addition to these affiliate organizations, VCM works closely with the Michigan Community Service
Commission, Council of Michigan Foundations, and United Way of Michigan in coordinating a number
of services and programs.
VCM has been in existence for ten years. It began as an informal network for peer support and
assistance. In 1993, VCM affiliated with MNA (then the Michigan Nonprofit Forum), creating a fulltime staff position to support the network. VCM staff currently consists of a Director, National Service
Manager and Assistant National Service Manager, sharing support staff, office space and equipment with
MNAandMCC.
VCM member centers pay atmual dues, which is used entirely for member support expenses (mailings,
phone, meetings, etc.).

PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Network Support
VCM provides ongoing support to volunteer centers and the volunteerism field through the following
services:
v' RESOURCE LIBRARY: including over 100 volumes on all aspects of volunteer
management, nonprofit management, and streams of service; also includes the University of
Colorado Volunteer Management Certificate Program videotape series.

1

�¥" MEMBER MAILINGS: monthly updates/fax alerts on current state and national initiatives,

funding opportunities and legislation; promotion of local events and celebration of local
center accomplishments.
¥" QUARTERLY MEETINGS: for volunteer center directors; feature a morning business
meeting and afternoon work session focused on a current issue or topic as identified by the
directors.
¥" ANNUAL RETREAT: for volunteer center directors to plan strategically for the
organization; discuss pertinent issues; network and relax.
¥" MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF VOLUNTEER ADMINISTRATORS: MAVA is a
statewide association of volunteer administrators representing a full range of agencies,
organizations, and programs. The mission ofMAVA is to serve as a statewide voice for
concerns affecting the voluntary sector and to promote volunteer administration as a
profession. Managers of volunteer programs, leaders of volunteer organizations and others
who support and promote volunteerism are eligible for membership. MAVA members have
access to all VCMIMNA member benefits and services.
Training and Technical Assistance

VCM and MNA work to support the volunteerism sector in partnership with local volunteer centers.
Examples of their training and technical assistance include:
¥" REGIONAL TRAININGS: VCM and MNA offer a minimum of two regional training series
allllually. The fall series is typically an overview of the Basics of Volunteer Management,
with the spring series taking on immediate needs identified by the sector (i.e., Spring 1997
covered legal and accounting issues).
¥" VOLUNTEERISM SUPERCONFERENCE: VCM is host to the statewide Volunteerism
SuperConference, held every two years. The SuperConference is a two-day event bringing
representatives from all segments of the volunteer field together for workshops, networking,
and resource sharing. The 1998 Volunteerism SuperConference had over 1,400 participants,
featuring keynote speakers General Colin Powell, David Sawyer, Dr. John Kretzmallll and
Marcia Bullard. The SuperConference is held in conjunction with the Governor's
Community Service Awards Dinner.
¥" LOCAL TRAININGS/CONSULTATION: VCM works with local volunteer centers to
develop/secure training opportunities that meet local needs.
Public Relations
In an effort to promote the impact and opportunities for volunteerism within Michigan, VCM and MNA

are examining how we can best be of service to our constituents. At present, the majority of our time is
given to the coordination and development of:
¥" CollllectMichigan: CollllectMichigan is a multi-layer, statewide public relations campaign to
promote volunteerism and community involvement. The CollllectMichigan campaign, as a
component of the national Connect America initiative, includes a volunteerism hotline
(POLF' s 1-800-VOLUNTEER), television and radio public service announcements, written
support materials, and outdoor advertising. ConnectMichigan billboard campaigns will focus
annually around four major "seasonal" themes: Make A Difference Day, Martin Luther King
Jr. Day of Service, National Volunteer Week, and Michigan's Promise.
National Service

The opportunity to place National Service Members in Michigan communities for the support of local
volunteerism was presented to VCM and MNA through both the AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA
programs. We currently administer two statewide service programs:
¥" VCM AMERICORPS: MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS: The purpose ofVCM AmeriCorps is
to promote and sustain youth involvement in volunteerism and community problem solving;

2

�and to advance the goals of The Presidents' Summit for America's Future and America's
Promise within communities throughout Michigan.
VCM AmeriCorps is designed to meet the needs of Michigan's young people, systems that
affect them, and the communities in which they live. VCM AmeriCorps places teams of
national service volunteers in volunteer centers and partnering agencies throughout the state
of Michigan to actively engage youth during after school hours in efforts to solve community
problems.
v' NEW PARTNERSHIPS VISTA: The New Partnerships VISTA program places volunteers in

four regions of the state to promote and support citizen-driven community problem solving
through service and volunteerism. VISTAs support the New Partnerships concept for
community problem solving through communication, citizen action and collaboration among
private, nonprofit, and government sectors. VISTA efforts strengthen inter-sector
partnerships and support citizen-driven community solutions, particularly related to school
success and to youth development during non-school hours.
Public Policy

As well respected statewide entities, VCM and MNA realize a great potential to monitor and impact
public policy. In addition to keeping our local constituents apprised of relevant issues, our key activities
in this area include:
v' ADVOCACY: VCM and MNA actively address public policy issues that affect volunteer
centers and the nonprofit sector. Recent issues demanding our attention include the
Volunteer Liability Act and the Youth on Boards Bill.
v' MICHIGAN PUBLIC POLICY INITIATIVE: MNA is also coordinating the Michigan

Public Policy Initiative (MPPI) in partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations.
Michigan legislators are facing new challenges in light of term limits and devolution: MPPI is
designed to educate legislators about public policy issues the impact the nonprofit sector.
MPPI is responsible for the 1998-99 edition of Michigan In Brief and will be holding a series
of informational forums highlighting current issues.
Financial Support

VCM and MNA support the network of volunteer centers and the broader field of volunteer ism through
the development and identification of funding opportunities:
v' GEORGE W. ROMNEY FUND FOR VOLUNTEERISM IN MICHIGAN: To honor George
Romney and to keep his vision of volunteerism alive, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan
(VCM) and the Michigan Nonprofit Association established the George W. Romney Fund
for Volunteerism in Michigan in 1996. This endowment fund will continue Romney's dream
by:
• building local infrastructure through the establishment of local volunteer center
endowment funds,
• providing mini-grants to support innovative volunteer projects and programs across the
state, and
• supporting an annual public relations campaign to spur participation in volunteer
programs (ConnectMichigan).
v' VOLUNTEER INVESTMENT GRANTS: VCM was instrumental in the development of

Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). Administered by the Michigan Community
Service Commission, $1 million annually is available to community-based, volunteer,

3

�nonprofit agency partnerships that designate and support an agency to function as a
community volunteer resource center. VIG strives to meet two goals:
• Support and increase volunteerism and community service, and
• Leverage local funds supporting local community foundation endowments that help
sustain the activities of a community volunteer resource center.

Development ofNew Centers
VCM supports the development of volunteer centers in local communities through individual
consultation, which includes assistance in the areas of board development, strategic funding,
collaboration, local need and asset assessments, and inclusion in the peer network of VCM member
centers.

MICHIG~N
An Overview of Programs and Services

•

INTRODUCTION

Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is a state association of 31 member volunteer centers. VCM
exists to support local volunteer centers in their efforts to mobilize people and resources to deliver
creative solutions to community problems. The mission ofVCM is to strengthen existing volunteer
centers, to provide leadership in developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerism
statewide.
VCM is affiliated with the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA). The mission ofMNA is to promote
the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause ofvolunteerism
and philanthropy in the state. MNA serves as the fiscal agent for VCM. VCM member directors serve as
the VCM Operating Council, and are represented on the MNA Board ofTrustees.
Through its affiliation with MNA, VCM also works closely with Michigan Campus Compact, an
association of Michigan universities and colleges which promotes citizenship by encouraging service
experiences for students.

In addition to these affiliate organizations, VCM works closely with the Michigan Community Service
Commission, Council of Michigan Foundations, and United Way of Michigan in coordinating a number
of services and programs.
VCM has been in existence for ten years. It began as an informal network for peer support and
assistance. In 1993, VCM affiliated with MNA (then the Michigan Nonprofit Forum), creating a fulltime staff position to support the network. VCM staff currently consists of a Director, National Service
Manager and Assistant National Service Manager, sharing support staff, office space and equipment with
MNAandMCC.
VCM member centers pay annual dues, which is used entirely for member support expenses (mailings,
phone, meetings, etc.).

PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Network Support
VCM provides ongoing support to volunteer centers and the volunteerism field through the following
services:
v' RESOURCE LIBRARY: including over 100 volumes on all aspects of volunteer
management, nonprofit management, and streams of service; also includes the University of
Colorado Volunteer Management Certificate Program videotape series.

I

�.,t' MEMBER MAILINGS: monthly updates/fax alerts on current state and national initiatives,

funding opportunities and legislation; promotion oflocal events and celebration of local
center accomplishments .
.,t' QUARTERLY MEETINGS: for volunteer center directors; feature a morning business
meeting and afternoon work session focused on a current issue or topic as identified by the
directors .
.,t' ANNUAL RETREAT: for volunteer center directors to plan strategically for the
organization; discuss pertinent issues; network and relax .
.,t' MICIDGAN ASSOCIATION OF VOLUNTEER ADMINISTRATORS: MAYA is a
statewide association of volunteer administrators representing a full range of agencies,
organizations, and programs. The mission of MAVA is to serve as a statewide voice for
concerns affecting the voluntary sector and to promote volunteer administration as a
profession. Managers of volunteer programs, leaders of volunteer organizations and others
who support and promote volunteerism are eligible for membership. MAVA members have
access to all VCM/MNA member benefits and services.

Training and Technical Assistance
VCM and MNA work to support the volunteerism sector in partnership with local volunteer centers.
Examples of their training and technical assistance include:
.,t' REGIONAL TRAININGS: VCM and MNA offer a minimum of two regional training series
annually. The fall series is typically an overview ofthe Basics of Volunteer Management,
with the spring series taking on immediate needs identified by the sector (i.e., Spring 1997
covered legal and accounting issues) .
.,t' VOLUNTEERISM SUPERCONFERENCE: VCM is host to the statewide Volunteerism
SuperConference, held every two years. The SuperConference is a two-day event bringing
representatives from all segments of the volunteer field together for workshops, networking,
and resource sharing. The 1998 Volunteerism SuperConference had over 1,400 participants,
featuring keynote speakers General Colin Powell, David Sawyer, Dr. John Kretzmann and
Marcia Bullard. The SuperConference is held in conjunction with the Governor's
Community Service Awards Dinner.
.,t' LOCAL TRAININGS/CONSULTATION: VCM works with local volunteer centers to
develop/secure training opportunities that meet local needs.
Public Relations
In an effort to promote the impact and opportunities for volunteerism within Michigan, VCM and MNA
are examining how we can best be of service to our constituents. At present, the majority of our time is
given to the coordination and development of:
.,t' ConnectMichigan: ConnectMichigan is a multi-layer, statewide public relations campaign to
promote volunteerism and community involvement. The ConnectMichigan campaign, as a
component of the national Connect America initiative, includes a volunteerism hotline
(POLF's 1-800-VOLUNTEER), television and radio public service announcements, written
support materials, and outdoor advertising. ConnectMichigan billboard campaigns will focus
annually around four major "seasonal" themes: Make A Difference Day, Martin Luther King
Jr. Day of Service, National Volunteer Week, and Michigan's Promise.
National Service
The opportunity to place National Service Members in Michigan communities for the support of local
volunteerism was presented to VCM and MNA through both the AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA
programs. We currently administer two statewide service programs:
.,t' VCM AMERICORPS: MICIDGAN'S AMERICORPS: The purpose ofVCM AmeriCorps is
to promote and sustain youth involvement in volunteerism and community problem solving;

2

�and to advance the goals of The Presidents' Summit for America's Future and America's
Promise within communities throughout Michigan.
VCM AmeriCorps is designed to meet the needs of Michigan's young people, systems that
affect them, and the communities in which they live. VCM AmeriCorps places teams of
national service volunteers in volunteer centers and partnering agencies throughout the state
of Michigan to actively engage youth during after school hours in efforts to solve community
problems.
ol' NEW PARTNERSIDPS VISTA: The New Partnerships VISTA program places volunteers in
four regions of the state to promote and support citizen-driven community problem solving
through serviCe and volunteerism. VISTAs support the New Partnerships concept for
community problem solving through communication, citizen action and collaboration among
private, nonprofit, and government sectors. VISTA efforts strengthen inter-sector
partnerships and support citizen-driven community solutions, particularly related to school
success and to youth development during non-school hours.

Public Policy
As well respected statewide entities, VCM and MNA realize a great potential to monitor and impact
public policy. In addition to keeping our local constituents apprised of relevant issues, our key activities
in this area include:
ol' ADVOCACY: VCM and MNA actively address public policy issues that affect volunteer
centers and the nonprofit sector. Recent issues demanding our attention include the
Volunteer Liability Act and theYouth on Boards Bill.
ol' MICIDGAN PUBLIC POLICY INITIATIVE: MNA is also coordinating the Michigan
Public Policy Initiative (MPPI) in partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations.
Michigan legislators are facing new challenges in light of term limits and devolution: MPPI is
designed to educate legislators about public policy issues the impact the nonprofit sector.
MPPI is responsible for the 1998-99 edition of Michigan In Brief and will be holding a series
of informational forums highlighting current issues.

Financial Support
VCM and MNA support the network of volunteer centers and the broader field of volunteerism through
the development and identification of funding opportunities:
ol' GEORGE W. ROMNEY FUND FOR VOLUNTEERISM IN MICHIGAN: To honor George
Romney and to keep his vision of volunteerism alive, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan
(VCM) and the Michigan Nonprofit Association established the George W. Romney Fund
for Volunteerism in Michigan in 1996. This endowment fund will continue Romney's dream
by:
• building local infrastructure through the establishment of local volunteer center
endowment funds,
• providing mini-grants to support innovative volunteer projects and programs across the
state, and
• supporting an annual public relations campaign to spur participation in volunteer
programs (ConnectMichigan).
ol' VOLUNTEER INVESTMENT GRANTS: VCM was instrumental in the development of
Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). Administered by the Michigan Community
Service Commission, $1 million annually is available to community-based, volunteer,

3

�nonprofit agency partnerships that designate and support an agency to function as a
community volunteer resource center. VIG strives to meet two goals:
• Support and increase volunteer ism and community service, and
• Leverage local funds supporting local community foundation endowments that help
sustain the activities of a community volunteer resource center.

Development ofNew Centers
VCM supports the development of volunteer centers in local communities through individual
consultation, which includes assistance in the areas of board development, strategic funding,
collaboration, local need and asset assessments, and inclusion in the peer network of VCM member
centers.

MICHIG~N
An Overview of Programs and Services

o

INTRODUCTION

Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is a state association of31 member volunteer centers. VCM
exists to support local volunteer centers in their efforts to mobilize people and resources to deliver
creative solutions to community problems. The mission ofVCM is to strengthen existing volunteer
centers, to provide leadership in developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerism
statewide.
VCM is affiliated with the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA). The mission ofMNA is to promote
the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause ofvolunteerism
and philanthropy in the state. MNA serves as the fiscal agent for VCM. VCM member directors serve as
the VCM Operating Council, and are represented on the MNA Board of Trustees.
Through its affiliation with MNA, VCM also works closely with Michigan Campus Compact, an
association of Michigan universities and colleges which promotes citizenship by encouraging service
experiences for students.
In addition to these affiliate organizations, VCM works closely with the Michigan Community Service
Commission, Council of Michigan Foundations, and United Way of Michigan in coordinating a number
of services and programs.
VCM has been in existence for ten years. It began as an it¥ormal network for peer support and
assistance. In 1993, VCM affiliated with MNA (then the Michigan Nonprofit Forum), creating a fulltime staff position to support the network. VCM staff currently consists of a Director, National Service
Manager and Assistant National Service Manager, sharing support staff, office space and equipment with
MNAandMCC.
VCM member centers pay annual dues, which is used entirely for member support expenses (mailings,
phone, meetings, etc.).

PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Network Support
VCM provides ongoing support to volunteer centers and the volunteerism field through the following
services:
v' RESOURCE LIBRARY: including over 100 volumes on all aspects of volunteer
management, nonprofit management, and streams of service; also includes the University of
Colorado Volunteer Management Certificate Program videotape series.

�&lt;I' MEMBER MAILINGS: monthly updates/fax alerts on current state and national initiatives,
funding opportunities and legislation; promotion of local events and celebration of local
center accomplishments.
&lt;I' QUARTERLY MEETINGS: for volunteer center directors; feature a morning business
meeting and afternoon work session focused on a current issue or topic as identified by the
directors.
&lt;I' ANNUAL RETREAT: for volunteer center directors to plan strategically for the
organization; discuss pertinent issues; network and relax.
&lt;I' MICIDGAN ASSOCIATION OF VOLUNTEER ADMINISTRATORS: MAVA is a
statewide association of volunteer administrators representing a full range of agencies,
organizations, and programs. The mission ofMAVA is to serve as a statewide voice for
concerns affecting the voluntary sector and to promote volunteer administration as a
profession. Managers of volunteer programs, leaders of volunteer organizations and others
who support and promote volunteerism are eligible for membership. MAVA members have
access to all VCM/MNA member benefits and services.

Training and Technical Assistance
VCM and MNA work to support the volunteerism sector in partnership with local volunteer centers.
Examples of their training and technical assistance include:
&lt;I' REGIONAL TRAININGS: VCM and MNA offer a minimum of two regional training series
annually. The fall series is typically an overview of the Basics of Volunteer Management,
with the spring series taking on immediate needs identified by the sector (i.e., Spring 1997
covered legal and accounting issues).
&lt;I' VOLUNTEERISM SUPERCONFERENCE: VCM is host to the statewide Volunteerism
SuperConference, held every two years. The SuperConference is a two-day event bringing
representatives from all segments of the volunteer field together for workshops, networking,
and resource sharing. The 1998 Volunteerism SuperConference had over 1,400 participants,
featuring keynote speakers General Colin Powell, David Sawyer, Dr. John Kretzmann and
Marcia Bullard. The SuperConference is held in conjunction with the Governor's
Community Service Awards Dinner.
&lt;I' LOCAL TRAININGS/CONSULTATION: VCM works with local volunteer centers to
develop/secure training opportunities that meet local needs.
Public Relations
In an effort to promote the impact and opportunities for volunteerism within Michigan, VCM and MNA
are examining how we can best be of service to our constituents. At present, the majority of our time is
given to the coordination and development of:
&lt;I' ConnectMichigan: ConnectMichigan is a multi-layer, statewide public relations campaign to
promote volunteerism and community involvement. The ConnectMichigan campaign, as a
component of the national Connect America initiative, includes a volunteerism hotline
(POLF's 1-800-VOLUNTEER), television and radio public service announcements, written
support materials, and outdoor advertising. ConnectMichigan billboard campaigns will focus
annually around four major "seasonal" themes: Make A Difference Day, Martin Luther King
Jr. Day of Service, National Volunteer Week, and Michigan's Promise.
National Service
The opportunity to place National Service Members in Michigan communities for the support of local
volunteerism was presented to VCM and MNA through both the AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA
programs. We currently administer two statewide service programs:
&lt;I' VCM AMERICORPS: MICIDGAN'S AMERICORPS: The purpose ofVCM AmeriCorps is
to promote and sustain youth involvement in volunteerism and community problem solving;

2

�and to advance the goals of The Presidents' Summit for America's Future and America's
Promise within communities throughout Michigan.
VCM AmeriCorps is designed to meet the needs of Michigan's young people, systems that
affect them, and the communities in which they live. VCM AmeriCorps places teams of
national service volunteers in volunteer centers and partnering agencies throughout the state
of Michigan to actively engage youth during after school hours in efforts to solve community
problems .
./ NEW PARTNERSHIPS VISTA: The New Partnerships VISTA program places volunteers in
four regions of the state to promote and support citizen-driven community problem solving
through service and volunteerism. VISTAs support the New Partnerships concept for
community problem solving through communication, citizen action and collaboration among
private, nonprofit, and government sectors. VISTA efforts strengthen inter-sector
partnerships and support citizen-driven community solutions, particularly related to school
success and to youth development during non-school hours.

Public Policy
As well respected statewide entities, VCM and MNA realize a great potential to monitor and impact
public policy. In addition to keeping our local constituents apprised of relevant issues, our key activities
in this area include:
./ ADVOCACY: VCM and MNA actively address public policy issues that affect volunteer
centers and the nonprofit sector. Recent issues demanding our attention include the
Volunteer Liability Act and the Youth on Boards Bill .
./ MICIDGAN PUBLIC POLICY INITIATIVE: MNA is also coordinating the Michigan
Public Policy Initiative (MPPI) in partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations.
Michigan legislators are facing new challenges in light of term limits and devolution: MPPI is
designed to educate legislators about public policy issues the impact the nonprofit sector.
MPPI is responsible for the 1998-99 edition of Michigan In Brief and will be holding a series
of informational forums highlighting current issues.

Financial Support
VCM and MNA support the network of volunteer centers and the broader field ofvolunteerism through
the development and identification offunding opportunities:
./ GEORGE W. ROMNEY FUND FOR VOLUNTEERISM IN MICIDGAN: To honor George
Romney and to keep his vision of volunteerism alive, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan
(VCM) and the Michigan Nonprofit Association established the George W. Romney Fund
for Volunteerism in Michigan in 1996. This endowment fund will continue Romney's dream
by:
• building local infrastructure through the establishment of local volunteer center
endowment funds,
• providing mini-grants to support innovative volunteer projects and programs across the
state, and
• supporting an annual public relations campaign to spur participation in volunteer
programs (ConnectMichigan) .
./ VOLUNTEER INVESTMENT GRANTS: VCM was instrumental in the development of
Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). Administered by the Michigan Community
Service Commission, $1 million annually is available to community-based, volunteer,

3

�nonprofit agency partnerships that designate and support an agency to function as a
community volunteer resource center. VIG strives to meet two goals:
• Support and increase volunteerism and community service, and
• Leverage local funds supporting local community foundation endowments that help
sustain the activities of a community volunteer resource center.

Development ofNew Centers
VCM supports the development of volunteer centers in local communities through individual
consultation, which includes assistance in the areas of board development, strategic funding,
collaboration, local need and asset assessments, and inclusion in the peer network of VCM member
centers.

                    <text>February 16, 2005

Dear Colleagues,
As your Chair, I want to bring you up to speed on a very exciting opportunity that was
presented to us by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) in the wake
of the budget challenges the state continues to face and the elimination of the Volunteer
Investment Grants program in the 2005 budget.
In December, the MCSC notified VCM that while the Michigan’s Volunteer Investment
Grant dollars were zeroed out for FY 05, the MCSC might be able to garner $200,000 for
support of Volunteer Centers for this year. The MCSC met with the leadership of VCM
to discuss how these dollars could be used to increase the capacity and sustainability of
Volunteer Centers across the state. The MCSC reiterated its goal to support efforts that
would demonstrate the importance and value of Michigan’s Volunteer Centers. All
parties agreed that this funding (still named Volunteer Investment Grants) would be
important as a public investment in the work of Volunteer Centers.
There were four principles generated from the conversations that are listed below. It is
important that we all understand these important provisos related to the Volunteer
Investment Grants and the process we are implementing.





The VIG should be targeted toward increasing capacity, value and identification of
the work of the Volunteer Centers.
The MCSC would like to invest in a “systems” approach and not a series of
individual community grants.
The MCSC is not intending for this funding to be used in the same way as the initial
VIG program and will not require matching toward endowments.
The funding is not in hand and needs to be referred to as prospective and not
guaranteed.

I convened the Executive Committee with the leadership of MCSC to determine how this
funding might best be utilized while meeting the goals of the MCSC. Out of that
meeting, VCM staff drafted a plan and presented that plan to the Executive Committee
for submission to the MCSC Board of Directors. We believe this plan meets all of the
criteria discussed and will benefit the entire network. The plan will demonstrate to the
State of Michigan, your community, and your potential funders the value of Volunteer
Centers and their services.

�On Friday, February 11th the MCSC Board approved provisional funding for the plan
listed below. It was approved provisionally because funds are not currently available and
may not be available until April. This grant will be used to:
1. Coordinate and employ a professional research firm to develop the following:
a. A profile of the 30 VCM member Volunteer Centers in Michigan
b. Common outputs and outcomes
c. Challenges faced in meeting community needs and funding programs
d. The social capitol of the programs and services performed by Volunteer
Centers for the nonprofit and public sectors, further translated into
monetary terms.
2. Provide a national online community searchable database for all Volunteer
Centers for a three year period. This tool will be used to increase recruitment of
volunteers, make the Volunteer Centers more accessible and visible to agencies
and volunteers, and improve data gathering and reporting.
3. Set up a statewide system to track and gather data from all persons and
organizations that benefit from Volunteer Centers in order to build case
statements that will convey the value of community volunteerism and Volunteer
Centers to our communities and funders.
4. Offer training in March, May and August 2005 that will assist Volunteer Centers
in collecting information and measuring results that are the focus of the grant.
This includes: Logic Model development to benchmark activities and outcomes
and resource development.
It is everyone’s hope that through these activities Volunteer Centers can begin to
make the public more aware of the important need for volunteerism in communities,
leadership role Volunteer Centers can play, and the value of civic engagement in
dollars, quality of life and productivity.
We will have a number updates, including information on this opportunity, for you at
our March 3rd and 4th VCM Retreat!
Sincerely,
Martha Bottomley
Chair
Volunteer Centers of Michigan

                    <text>February 3, 2005
Dear Colleagues:
We know that a number of you have inquired about your Association and its status. This note is a brief
update to help you understand our progress toward getting your commission the support you need through a
strong national organization.
What is the future of our Association?
Your association’s future is strong. We are at the final stages of our audit resolution process (described in
more detail below) and have developed and implemented strong fiscal and management systems. There is
a tremendous need for support of state commissions and the voice they need to have with financial
supporters and policy makers. Several states are transitioning leadership at both the staff and commissioner
levels. This new group of national service leaders will need to understand the complicated issues facing
them and their work as they support our nation’s volunteers. National issues will need to be addressed.
State commissions have demonstrated new value in their work on emergency response and relief efforts
across the country. Decisions on critical state commission specific issues are on the horizon. The new
AmeriCorps rules will be published soon, a meeting of State Commission Executive Directors will be
convened in April, and the appropriations process will soon begin for FY 2006 with the President’s
unveiling of his budget on February 7, 2005. The need for an association identifying and forwarding your
interests is strong. The ASC Board is working to determine how best to meet your needs in the constantly
changing environment in which you work.
Who is running ASC?
Due to the suspension of federal funds and the increased expenses incurred due to the audit by the Inspector
General of the Corporation for National and Community Service, ASC currently has no staff, but the office
in Washington, DC is still available thanks to the support of the Points of Light Foundation where ASC is
housed. The ASC Board is handling the limited day-to-day operations of the organization and the
completion of special projects like the W.K. Kellogg Foundation funded commissioner training initiative.
The full Board of Directors will be meeting on February 9-10 in Washington, DC. to determine the next
steps. This meeting was designed around your responses to formal and informal surveys as to what your
national association can and should do for you. The Board will develop an action plan out of this meeting
and share it with the full membership for your input.
What is the status of the ASC and CNCS Inspector General Audit?
ASC has overhauled its fiscal and management systems and has implemented comprehensive policies and
procedures to ensure the integrity of the organization’s operations. On Wednesday, February 2, 2005 the
ASC Board of Directors sent its final response to the Inspector General's (IG) report to the Corporation for
National and Community Service. This is the final step prior to the CNCS issuing a management decision
that will begin to determine the balance of the grant funds due to ASC. Once the CNCS Office of Grants
Management submits its management decision to the IG, the IG has 30 days to provide comment. This
means that ASC should know its financial status by March of 2005. The official responses to date are
posted on the ASC website (see: www.asc-online.org).

�ASC also completed its A-133 Audits for the 2001-2003 fiscal years as required by the OMB standards for
grantees of federal funds. The ASC Board also took the added step of having an independent auditor
examine the 2004 records to ensure that all the remedies we put in place are working. This step was taken
to ensure that the organization's newly established policies and procedures are adequate to ensure trust and
reliability in its systems. While a full A-133 audit for the 2004 records would have been the preferred
method, we are unable to do so until the IG audit is completed and we close out our CNCS grant. However,
this report affirms that, to the extent that ASC systems can be tested, ASC is operating the payroll, general
expenses and budgeting systems appropriately.
When am I going to receive my invoice for dues and what will my contribution support?
Normally you would receive an invoice for dues renewal on the anniversary of your joining the
Association. The Board of ASC felt strongly that the members should not receive an invoice for dues until
the organization has a well-defined plan for moving forward that was based on stakeholder input. That
plan will come out some time after the Board's Feb. 9-10 meeting. Once the plan is solidified, your
organization will receive a final copy for input followed by an invoice for dues payment.
Your dues payment will support the activities and functions of the organizational plan. However, at the
previous billing rate, if all dues are paid in full, the dues would generate less than $150,000 annually.
Much like many of your organizations, our Association must slim down while also working to diversify
and develop significant increases in the organization's revenue streams. This is why the organization's
future plans must be narrowed and targeted on what members see as the most important function(s).
What support can I expect in the short-term (next four to six months)?
The ASC Board will be working to determine what services it can continue to provide in the future based
on stakeholder input and the revenue streams available. The Peer-to-Peer grant activities have been
suspended. If you have Peer-to-Peer training needs, please contact the CNCS directly through your
assigned program officer. The ASC Board Chairman, Kyle Caldwell is handling the general duties of the
organization and is taking inquiries regarding other forms of support that state commissions might identify.

In the meantime, you will be receiving important information via email on developments in the national
service arena. In addition, the ASC website (www.asc-online.org) has a tremendous amount of information
available to you. The Association’s library contains important information on how to operate an effective
organization and what other states have learned in their development over the past decade. The
announcements and newsletters will keep you updated on different issues and inform you of the
Association’s activities.
Final Thoughts
We hope these messages are helpful to you. The Board of ASC appreciates you continued support and
hopes to be able to provide you with a healthy and proactive action plan for your association soon. In the
mean time, please feel free to contact members of the board with any issues or concerns.

&gt;Hi Robin ---

&gt;
&gt;You sound panicked

&gt;

&gt;
&gt;Jenn

&gt;

&gt; Stats for Michigan Centers: (25 Centers answered the survey --which means
&gt;that for each of these you can probably add the word over X statistic and
&gt;be accurate --they have already been rounded -- so don't round)

&gt;

&gt;*Total Population ofVC setvice area: 3.2 million
&gt; * Total Budget for VCs: $2.2 million
&gt;
&gt;*Volun teer Opportunities available through VCs: 15,000 (this is the
&gt; one you wanted)
&gt; * Organizations with whom Centers have worked: 3,000
&gt;*Peopl e reached by the media marketing ofVCs: 3 million
&gt; *% ofVCs engaged in efforts to help solve serious social problems:
&gt; 88% (22 Centers)

&gt;
&gt;Hi! The fund development consulting team is working on the case statement
&gt;for the Alliance $10 million. They have asked me for some very specific
&gt;things, most of which I do not currently have in house. I know that one
&gt;is
&gt; available thhrough the POLF survey ...

&gt;
&gt;IF there is any way you can tell us the number of volunteers referred by
&gt;Michigan VC's that would be FABULOUS! Tim (our money guy) is trying to
&gt;assemble everything for an August 4 meeting, so we would like the info by
&gt;August 1, if at all possible. ALSO -I will be gone on vacation, so I
&gt;would
&gt;like you to "reply to all" on this email, so Rosalie gets the info also.

&gt;
&gt;If this is not something you can pull out of the computer in the next
&gt;week,
&gt;please let us know that, too.

&gt;
&gt;Thanks! See you Thursday?
&gt; rls

&gt; Hi Robin --&gt;
&gt;You sound panicked

&gt;
&gt;Here is some of the highlight information from the sutvey for Michigan.
&gt;It's actually stuff i'm working on pretty heavily this week. (yep, you'll
&gt; see me thursday -- but i probably won't be in the meeting ... if you get
&gt; some lag time maybe we could get together.)
&gt;
&gt;Jenn

&gt;
&gt; Stats for Michigan Centers: (25 Centers answered the sutvey --which means
&gt;that for each of these you can probably add the word over X statistic and
&gt; be accurate -- they have already been rounded -- so don't round)
&gt;
&gt;*Total Population ofVC setvice area: 3.2 million
&gt; * Total Budget for VCs: $2.2 million

&gt;
&gt;*Volunteer Opportunities available through VCs: 15,000 (this is the
&gt; one you wanted)
&gt; * Organizations with whom Centers have worked: 3,000
&gt; * People reached by the media marketing of VCs: 3 million
&gt; * % of VCs engaged in efforts to help solve serious social problems:
&gt; 88% (22 Centers)

&gt;
&gt;Hi! The fund development consulting team is working on the case statement
&gt;for the Alliance $10 million. They have asked me for some very specific
&gt;things, most of which I do not currently have in house. I know that one
&gt;is
&gt; available thhrough the POLF survey ...
&gt;
&gt; IF there is any way you can tell us the number of volunteers referred by
&gt;Michigan VC's that would be FABULOUS! Tim (our money guy) is trying to
&gt;assemble everything for an August 4 meeting, so we would like the info by
&gt;August 1, if at all possible. ALSO -I will be gone on vacation, so I
&gt;would
&gt;like you to "reply to all" on this email, so Rosalie gets the info also.
&gt;
&gt;If this is not something you can pull out of the computer in the next
&gt;week,
&gt;please let us know that, too.
&gt;
&gt;Thanks! See you Thursday?

�Volunteer Investment Grant Report
Mid Term Report - 2000

Shelly Schadewald, Executive Director
Progress Toward Objectives listed in Volunteer Generation Plan:
Recruit and Expand Community Partners to at least 100

The Jackson Nonprofit Support Center (JNSC) has recruited an additional 25 volunteer
consultants and trainers to join our 65 community partners, now totaling 90. There is
tremendous interest and enthusiasm about being a community partner. Each partner Is
required to meet our quality standards and sign a code of ethics and confidentiality
statement. Beginning in September 2000, our workshop series will expand to 25 workshops,
all with volunteer trainers. Consulting arrangements occur on a weekly basis.
Our recognition program includes our first anniversary open house, featuring our Volunteer
Superstars. The event took place on April 14 and we celebrated with more than 65 guests.
In conjunction with the event and National Volunteer Week, the Youth Volunteer Action Guide
was released.
Recruit Volunteer Staff for the Center

The Support Center continues to value wonderful volunteer staff support. So far this year,
more than 40 people have volunteered for the Center, providing technical expertise for the
web site and data profile search, clerical help, database entry, staffing registration tables,
serving as board members, receptionists, library support and more.
At our events, various nonprofit leaders assist in management of the event, such as with our
Nonprofit Leadership Forums, our first anniversary open house and National Volunteer Week
activity. That assistance results in team volunteering.
All of our 18 workshop were done by volunteer trainers as well.
Co-Sponsor at least three Volunteer Community Events

The Day of Caring was suspended by United Way of Jackson County due to lack of an
Executive Director. While we did participate in the Colin Powell Kick-Off event for Jackson
County's Promise to Kids (JCPTK), we did not hold a Youth Summit in April as planned. This
was due to a restructuring by the JCPTK Leadership Team. We actively participate In the
initiative and are now collecting data to link nonprofit needs, such as for volunteers or
mentors to commitments of all kinds.
Two additional volunteer related events have been added for the fall training calendar,
including two workshop on How to Be a Good Mentor, and How to Work with Mentors In the
New Millennium.
Make a Difference Day Is still planned for October 2000.
Directly Sponsor at least Five Additional Volunteer Events

Vigreport2000.6.15.00

�The activity for National Volunteer Week was fantastic. More than 65 attended our Volunteer
Superstar/First Anniversary Open House. Four superstars were honored and featured on the
cover of our Youth Volunteer Action Guide, which reached more than 36,000 homes on April
10, 2000. Several volunteer workshops are planned for our next training calendar, Including
Working with Youth Volunteers, Volunteer Liability, Mentoring and more.
Complete the Strategic Plan and Carry Out its Objectives
Our board worked very hard on the strategic plan and It Is completed. While quite ambitious,
we feel It Is a doable plan. We have also developed an operational plan. We are carrying out
the objectives with the board actively involved. Our particular emphasis Is on member
services.
Continue Marketing and Communications Plan
We continually promote and market our services. At least once per month, our members
receive valuable communication from us with consistent use of font, logo and character. We
continue to add member services. We recently developed a list of attorneys and accountants
willing to work probono or at discounted rates.
We send our quarterly newsletter out to 500 on our mailing list and are featured in the local
newspaper with frequency. We are planning to start a radio show with a local radio station
this year. Our marketing strategies are part of our strategic plan.
Serve as a key player for JCPTK
We have actively served on the Leadership Team for JCPTK since February 2000.
While the Promise has moved ahead, it was the decision of the Leadership Team to
step back and refocus our thoughts on our mission, vision, values and goals as well
as organizational structure before plunging ahead with much more activity. This is
progressing well. More updates will soon follow.
Continue Service Delivery to Jackson's Nonprofits
Last year, we had 81 members. We currently stand at 112 members. Our goal for this year
is 150 members. All services are carefully evaluated, and our results will be detailed in our
annual report. Our Fail training series is now confirmed. 25 workshop of all kinds will take
place beginning in September.
Our technical assistance and resource library are still heavily utilized. The common issues for
nonprofit seeking assistance are strategic planning, board development and fund raising. We
also see many volunteers seeking opportunities.
Progress Toward Community Wide Service Projects
We have completed Martin Luther King, Jr. Day promotional campaign and public service
announcements about volunteerism in general. Our involvement in Jackson County Promise
to Kids is on-going.
The National Volunteer Week activities were a great success as was the Youth Volunteer
Action Guide. A second edition will go out in October In preparation for Make A Difference
Day.

Vlgreport2000.6.15.00

�Our Mentoring workshop this fall will be aimed at all the county citizens.
Our student Intern, solely focused on volunteerism from January to April 2000 also
established a coordination network for promoting youth volunteerism called the Youth
Ambassador Program. We now have a database of the specific contact person for each school
(all fourteen districts from elementary to high school). This was a lot of work! This network
will allow us to directly involve all of our schools in our county wide service projects. It will
be very helpful for Make A Difference Day in October 2000.
Please Describe Fund Raising Objectives and Progress. Include Challenges and
Plans for Second Period Fund Raising.
The Center met the match for the VIG grant by obtaining commitments from major
foundations and nonprofits In Jackson County. Our endowment stands at $231,000.
Our fund raising plan Is part of our strategic plan. We are now establishing sponsors for our
events and will look for some fund raising expertise to assist with our match for next year's
VIG. We are very, very concerned about raising the 2:1 match.
Describe new activities or initiatives that occurred this period that were a direct
outgrowth of Michigan's VIG.
New activities related specifically to Volunteerism include:
•
•
•

the Youth Ambassador Program
a Radio show (still In the works)
More collaboration with other local volunteer agencies for tough placements

Please list any challenges, problems or delays in the first period of the Michigan's
VIG grant cvcle and anticipated challenges. problems or delays in the second period.
We have had many successes. Our only significant problems were the cancellation of two of
our major volunteer events which was out of our control (the JCPTK Summit and the Day of
Caring) but we can make up for it.
Fund raising to meet a 2:1 VIG match will be very difficult.
Trainina and Technical Assistance Needs
Advanced fund raising and strategic planning.

Robin:
Regarding the Alliance Information that you are looking for:
The VCMM has partnered with the city of East Lansing to recruit and train volunteers for the National Folk
Festival. Together, we recruited approximately 400 volunteers for the three-day period. This year will be our
second year of helping with the festival. Last year's festival was the best first year the National Council of the Arts
has ever seen In the 23 years of the festival. The primary reason was volunteer support, organization and how
informed and knowledgeable volunteers were about their respective positions. This year, most of the volunteers
have returned and the great part is that they had so much fun last year and gained so much insight into what will
make it even better that they are helping with the organization of the festival.
We also coordinated the Nickelodeon Big Help on June 22, 2000. There were more than 2,000 volunteers that
turned out for the event. Many were parents, adults and many of them were youth interested in volunteerism.
The participants spent the day touring the Big Help Bus and renovating the Baker/Donora Focus Center's Park.
They planted flowers, a community garden, built bird houses, built a compost bin and even constructed a walking
path. As a result of the day, the summer program has seen a 30% increase in participation from the
neighborhood and more parents are getting Involved in the daily operation of the center. The most successful
outcome of the event is that there is a much greater awareness about what services the focus center provides the
neighborhood and classes are now much more attended. For the Volunteer Center of Mid-Michigan, it was an
opportunity to build the capacity of the focus center to support its own volunteer needs through people who
work/live in that area.
We also have several youth groups who perform monthly volunteer projects through the VCMM. The Indian
Cultural Group Is one of them. They are a group of students from Okemos who share an Interest in their Indian
heritage and a desire to make a difference in the community through volunteerism. Examples of projects that
they have completed include: Refurbishing school bleachers at Dansville high school, landscaping a playground
and a park clean up at Lake Lansing Parks.
We also work with a group from Pine Lodge which is a residential treatment program for boys ages 17-21. They
are tough kids with tremendous potential. They have taken on some of the dirtiest projects for non-profits such as
the Creation Station's remodeling project. The station provides educational products for teachers and daycare
providers out of recyclable Items. They painted, cleaned and scrubbed a warehouse clean for the agency. They
also cleaned, organized and converted a mess oflarge donations (couches, refrigerators, tables) for Refugee
Services. They also painted and cleaned up their office space to make it more user friendly. In addition, they did
a great deal of work for Ingham County's Park and Recreation Program at the Lake Lansing Site. The work this
group has performed has proven that youth not only have potential and endless energy, but given the right
direction and influence, there Is no telling how far these young men
could go in life.

                    <text>Purpose:
• to centralize state-level, volunteer programming efforts in a manner that ensures long-term
sustainability
•

administer programming and technical assistance currently administered by MNA, VCM,
MCC, and MCSC

•

continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate

Concerns leading to concept:
• Competition and control
•

Politicization ofvolunteerism

•

Funding for volunteer initiatives

Funding:
• goal: $20 million endowment= approx $850,000 annual operating budget
•

it is being proposed that the State of Michigan create a $10 million endowment

•

an additional $10 million would be sought in match funds to the State endowment, which
would be placed in a private endowment

Governance and Administralion:
• a Board of Trustees with representation from MCSC, MCC, VCM and MNA wou,ld govern;
initial board members would be appointed by the two incorporating entities (MCSC and
MNA)
•

both incorporating entities would develop a written contract outlining thelr responsibilities
to both the Alliance and each other

•

it is antidpated that i;n the first few years MNA would serve as the fiduciary agent

•

executive director reports directly to "The Alliance" Board

•

VCM and MCC would continue to have dkectors that report to the Executive Director, but
hired by a committee of respective constituents alld the executive director (following
current hlrlng practices)

•

the affiliation agreemellts betweell VCM/MNA and MCC/MNA will continue to be in
effect and would serve as a safety net for either entity to remove themselves from "The
Alliance"

•

VCM and MCC wllil conduct an amnual review of the relationship with "The Allilance."
The findimgs of that review wilil be presemted to the MNA Board of Trustees

An Overview to Date
Prepared for MNA Board of Trustees
Background:
In the past decade, Michigan has seen the development of a number of statewide infrastructure
organizations focusing on the promotion of volunteerism and community service. The Michigan
Campus Compact was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution that institutions of
higher education were making to their communities. A few months later, a small group of
community based volunteer centers began the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. A year later, the
Michigan Nonprofit Association (known then as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum) was developed
to enhance the understanding of the nonprofit sector including the advancement of philanthropy
and volunteerism. Finally in 1991, newly elected Governor John Engler created by Executive
Order the Michigan Community Service Commission.
Over the years, all four organizations have worked collaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the Michigan Nonprofit Association.
These partnerships have strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in immense
administrative savings. In addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of
all three organizations have been enhanced by this unique partnership.
Under new leadership, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (and its affiliates) and the Michigan
Community Service Commission have made a concerted effort for a more intentional and
effective pattnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged by "outside
influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding the need
for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary
motivators -the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the
desire not to duplicate services and programs; and potential changes in federal programs that
supp01t volunteerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more effective as a
unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that some
activities/functions MUST remain separate - again, for the greater good of the field. What seems
to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common functions
of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus.
This conceptual organization, unofficially dubbed "The Alliance" for purposes of conversation,
has received a great deal of support from sector leaders and partner organizations, and the official
stages of planning have begun.

Purpose:
The purpose of "The Alliance" is to centralize state-level, volunteer programming efforts in a
manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, "The Alliance" would administer
volunteer progrannning currently administered by MNA, VCM, MCC, and MCSC. "The
Alliance" would continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. An
endowment fund would be created to support "The Alliance" which would secure its existence
into perpetuity.

Over the years, all four organizations have worked collaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the Michigan Nonprofit Association.
These partnerships have strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in immense
administrative savings. In addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of
all three organizations have been enhanced by this unique partnership.
Under new leadership, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (and it's affiliates) and the Michigan
Community Service Commission have made a concerted effort for more inte(\tional and effective
partnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged by "outside
influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding the need
for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary
motivators -the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the
desire not to duplicate services and programs; and potential changes in federal programs that
support volunteerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more effective as a
unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that some
activities/functions MUST remain separate - again, for the greater good of the field. What seems
to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common functions
of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus.
This conceptual organization, unofficially dubbed ..The Alliance" for purposes of conversation,
has received a great deal of support from sector leaders and partner organizations, and the official
stages of planning have begun.
Purpose:
The purpose of"The Alliance" is to centralize state-level, volunteer programming efforts in a
manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, --The Alliance" would administer
programming and technical assistance currently admmistered by MNA, VCM, MCC, and MCSC.
'The Alliance" would continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate.
An endowment fund would be created to support ·The Alliance," which would secure its
existence into perpetuity.
Funding:
The current vision is to secure $20 million in endo" mcnt funds, which would consist of two
funding streams:

�•

State: It is being proposed that the State of Michigan create a $10 million endowment to
continue their commitment to volunteerism in our state. This endowment would be managed
by the State of Michigan and would generate approximately $500,000 annually that would be
allocated directly to ''The Alliance" for administrative and program funding.

•

Private: An additional $10 million would be sought in match funds to the State endowment,
which would be placed in a private endowment (possibly the George W. Romney Fund).
This additional $500,000 income would be expected to enhance "The Alliance" budget in
Year Two of its existence, bringing the annual budget to $1 million.

Governance and Administration:
A 5-7 person Board of Trustees would govern "The Alliance" with representation from MCSC,
MCC, VCM and MNA. The initial board will be appointed by the two incorporating entities
(MCSC and MNA). Both incorporating entities will develop a written contract outlining their
responsibilities with the new structure and with each other. It is anticipated that in the first few
years MNA would serve as the fiduciary agent.

"The Alliance" would have an executive director reporting directly to "The Alliance" Board. The
executive director will be an at-will employee hired by the Board. VCM and MCC would
continue to have directors that report to the Executive Director, but hired by a committee of
respective constituents and the executive director (following current hiring practices). Additional
program staff of ''The Alliance" is outlined on the attached organizational chart.
The affiliation agreements between VCMJMNA and MCCIMNA will continue to be in effect and
would serve as a safety net for either entity to remove themselves from ''The Alliance" structure.
The leadership ofVCM and MCC will conduct an annual review of the relationship with "The
Alliance." The findings of that review will be presented to the MNA Board of Trustees.
Timeline:
• June 1999- "Serious" conversations between MNA and MCSC leadership begin
• July/August 1999- seek general concept support from the Governor, Ms. Engler, MNA
Chairperson, VCM Chairperson and MCSC Executive Committee.
• September 1999- Proposal is brought to MCSC, MNA Board, VCM Advisory Committee,
and MCC Council of Presidents for feedback
• October/November 1999 - Administrative and program structure is finalized, fund
development plan outlined.
• November 1999- Hire legal consultant and draft articles of incorporations and bylaws.
• December 2000 -Final plan is presented for approval to MCSC, MNA, VCM and MCC.
• January, 2000- Fund Development process begins (legislative and private).
• October 2000 -'The Alliance" is born with Phase I of funding (legislative).
• October 2001- "The Alliance" achieves full funding.
Documents:
• Overviews ofMNA, MCC, MCSC, and VCM
• Current VCM and MCC budgets
• Proposed VCM and MCC budgets within "The Alliance" structure

An Overview to Date
Prepared for MNA Board of Trustees
Background:
In the past decade, Michigan has seen the development of a number of statewide infrastructure
organizations focusing on the promotion of volunteerism and community service. The Michigan
Campus Compact was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution that institutions of
higher education were making to their communities. A few months later, a small group of
community based volunteer centers began the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. A year later, the
Michigan Nonprofit Association (known then as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum) was developed
to enhance the understanding of the nonprofit sector including the advancement of philanthropy
and voluntcerism. Finally in 1991, newly elected Governor John Engler created by Executive
Order the Michigan Community Service Commission.
Over the years, all four organizations have worked collaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the Michigan Nonprofit Association.
These partnerships have strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in immense
administrative savings. In addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of
all three organizations have been enhanced by this unique partnership.
Under new leadership, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (and its affiliates) and the Michigan
Community Service Commission have made a concerted effort for a more intentional and
effective partnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged by "outside
influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding the need
for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary
motivators -the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the
desire not to duplicate services and programs; and potential changes in federal programs that
support volunteerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more effective as a
unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that some
activities/functions MUST remain separate - again, for the greater good of the field. What seems
to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common functions
of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus.
This conceptual organization, unofficially dubbed "The Alliance" for purposes of conversation,
has received a great deal of support from sector leaders and partner organizations, and the official
stages of planning have begun.

Purpose:
The purpose of 'The Alliance" is to centralize state-level, volunteer programming efforts in a
manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, "The Alliance" would administer
volunteer programming currently administered by MNA, VCM, MCC, and MCSC. "The
Alliance" would continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. An
endowment fund would be created to support 'The Alliance" which would secure its existence
into perpetuity.

�Funding:
The current vision is to develop a pcmmncnt endowment at a local community foundation. The
earnings of the. endowment would be utilized to run the administrative functions of the
'·Alliance." The initial funding of the endowment would be a combination of private and public
dollars.
•

State: It is being proposed that the State of Michigan fund $10 million of the '·Alliance"
endowment. The $10 million would be a one-time allocation from FY 2000-2001 budget.
Based on initial discussions by the MCSC and the Governor's staff, it will be our intent to
have this line item contained in the executive budget. The allocation would be placed into a
permanent endowment at a local community foundation with a challenge to the private sector
to match dollar for dollar given by the state. The fund's placement into a community
foundation would ensure appropriate investment strategy and remove the fear of future
political administrations from eliminating the fund.

•

Private: An additional $10 million would be sought in matching funds to the State's
allocation, which would create a total private endowment of $20 million. The private
campaign will be geared towards foundations, corporate giving programs and individuals. A
full endowment campaign with a visible fundraising committee will be developed once the
state's allocation is secured. The fund will ensure the continuation of the programs of
MCSC, VCM and MCC in perpetuity.

The fund will generate an mmual basis of $850,000 dollars that will be dedicated to the
administrative functions of running the Allim1ce, VCM and MCC. The Alliance will generate
additional funding for programming through grants and fees for services.

Governance and Administration:
A 5-7 person Board of Trustees would govern "The Alliance" with representation from MCSC,
MCC, VCM and MNA. The initial board will be appointed by the two incorporating entities
(MCSC and MNA). Both incorporating entities will develop a written contract outlining their
responsibilities with the new structure and with each other. It is anticipated that in the first few
years MNA would serve as the fiduciary agent.
'The Alliance" would have an executive director reporting directly to "The Alliance" Board. The
executive director will be an at-will employee hired by the Board. Additional program staff of
'The Alliance" is outlined on the attached organizational chart.
The affiliation agreements between VCMIMNA and MCCIMNA will continue to be in effect and
would serve as a safety net for either entity to remove themselves from "The Alliance" structure.
The leadership ofVCM and MCC will conduct an annual review of the relationship with "The
Alliance." The findings of that review will be presented to the MNA Board of Trustees.

Time line:
Phase I -Research and Analysis
• June 1999- "Serious" conversations between MNA and MCSC leadership begin.
• July/August 1999- seek general concept support from the Governor, Ms. Engler, MNA
Chairperson, VCM Chairperson and MCSC Executive Committee.
• September 1999- Proposal is brought to MCSC, MNA Board, VCM Advisory Committee,
and MCC Council of Presidents for feedback.

�•
•
•
•
•

October/November 1999 - Meet with local constituents that might be impacted by the
'·Alliance .. ,
October/November 1999- Engage a committee of board leadership from MNA, MCSC,
MCC and VCM to provide guidance and oversight to staff
October/November 1999- Further develop administrative structure and funding prospects.
November 1999.- Engage experienced consultants to review our process, administrative
stmcture and operating documents.
December 1999- Present formal plan to MCSC, MNA, VCM and MCC.

Phase 2- Fund Development Campaign (Only if Phase One is found acceptable)
Phase 3- Organizational Implementation (Only if Phase One is found acceptable)
Motivation for Joining
Meets Mission
The Michigan Nonprofit Association's (MNA) mission is to promote the awareness and
effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause ofvolunteerism and
philanthropy in the state.
The proposal meets MNA ·s mission by creating an entity that advances the cause of volunteerism
in perpetuity. Both the MCC and VCM can fully focus on mission and organizational
development of local organizations. The "Alliance" will be a one-stop shop for communities,
business and individuals for community problem solving, volunteer placement and management
support.
Streamlines Bureaucracy (Privatizes duplicated efforts)
It eliminates duplication of services between the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the
Michigan Community Service Commission. Activities currently being conducted by govermnent
that are duplicative in the nonprofit sector are privatized to the new entity. The venture will be
one of the first public/private venture revolving around nonprofit and volunteerism in the country.
Coordinates Statewide Activities
The development of the "Alliance" will allow for a more coordinated effort between statewide
partners resulting in a continuum of service between volunteer centers, United Ways, community
Foundations, school districts and the workplace on the local level. It will provide the local citizen
with opportunities to give back their community from "the cradle to the grave."
Continues Successful Programs
The development of the "Alliance" ensures that successful progran1s such as Make A difference
day, ConnectMichigan, America's Promise, recognition programs will continue regardless of
changes in federal funding, state leadership, and economic times. It protects the programs and
services from political intervention as well.

                    <text>Funding:
The current vision is to secure $20 million in endowment funds, which would consist of two
funding streams:
• State: It is being proposed that the State of Michigan create a $10 million endowment to
continue their commitment to volunteerism in our state. This endowment would be managed
by a private foundation (new or existing) and would generate approximately $500,000
annually that would be allocated directly to "The Alliance" for administrative and program
funding.

•

Private: An addition.al $10 million would be sought in match funds to the State endowment
whi.ch would be placed into the private endO\\ment. This additional $500,000 income would
be expected to enhance '·The Alliance" budget in Year Two of its existence, bringing the
annual budget to $1 million.

Concerns and Benefits2
Michigan Campus Compact
CONCERNS
Process of Forming the Alliance
1.

The process offorming the Alliance, and investigation of options for its overall design, its mission,
culture, and governance structure is very rushed and somewhat scal/ered. The process has not always
engaged the staff in discussions. Many MCC constituents have experience in and knowledge of

organizational and legal issues of the formation of such alliances. Yet the rushed timeline does not
allow for adequate input This runs contrary to the MCC and National Campus Compact support of the
democratic process including thorough investigation and critical discourse. The lack of clarity and the
rushed nature has generated hesitancy on the part of many MCC constituents.
To address this issue, MCC recommends that open communication about/he Alliance, its purpose,
structure, funding take precedent. In addition, MCC recommends that a new timeline for
discussions be published which allows for adequate input from MCC, VCM, MCSC, and MNA

staffing and constituencies.

2.

MCC constituents are concerned that they have not been given an accurate outline of the MCC
situation in its service environment. That is, while the Alliance Presentation at the December 13, 2000

Council of Presidents meeting explained a partial basis of potential financial gains, it did not explain
that financially MCC does not present a great need for the Alliance, at least to the same extent as
VCM-that wants to secure financial stability-or MCSC-some of whose programs have an unstable
future with the prospective change of government. MCC is stable in that it generates substantive
annual membership fees, has a national support system, and has no competition for its services.
Moreover, the services it provides have been noted both by its constituents and nationally to be
outstanding.
Identity
3.

The identity of MCC must be very visible as it own separate entity and as a member of National
Campus Compact. This is important first because MCC frequently receives requests and orders from

its national organization that it must meet. The structure of the Alliance must be such that MCC may
quickly respond to its national requirements and not be slowed down, or meet interference from the
Alliance management. Second, the MCC identity must be clear for media and public purposes so that
member and nonmember colleges and universities are clear about opporturtities available from MCC,
and how and why it is part of the Alliance. Media and outreach support is critical. The Alliance
infrastructure must thus be both supportive to MCC outreach needs and clear to the· public.
MCC staff recommends that the contractual agreement of the Alliance include an identity and
corresponding release clause. If at any time the identity and/or mission of MCC is being
compromised and resolution is not made, MCC maintains the righi to leave the Alliance with all of
its respective programs, services, and assets with guarantee ofnon-duplication by the Alliance.

Staffing and Organizational Structure
4. MCC staff and other constituents have substantive concern about the level of staffing and
organizational structure proposed for the Alliance. For the MCC staff and constituents, these issues
must be addressed prior to fund raising.
Michigan Campus Compact refers to the proposed structure as "The Alliance". Its constituents do not
agree with the use of Volunteer, since volunteerism is only a small part of what MCC promotes.
2
The concerns presented have been collected by MCC staff in conversations with some MCC constituents
(presidents, community service directors, service-leammg directors, faculty, and students). Additional
concerns and benefits will presented after the March 16. 2000 meeting of the MCC Program and Planning
Committee that is slated to review the Alliance proposal

                    <text>The Alliance 1
Concerns and Benefits2
Michigan Campus Compact
CONCERNS
Process of Fonning the Alliance
1.

The process offorming the Alliance, and investigation of options for its overall design, its mission,
culture, and governance structure is very rushed and somewhat scattered. The process has not always
engaged the staff in discussions. Many MCC constituents have experience in and knowledge of

organizational and legal issues of the formation of such alliances. Yet the rushed timeline does not
allow for adequate input This runs contrary to the MCC and National Campus Compact support of the
democratic process including thorough investigation and critical discourse. The lack of clarity and Ute
rushed nature has generated hesitancy on the part of many MCC constituents.
To address this issue, MCC recommends that open communication about the Alliance, its purpose,
stn/Cture, funding take precedent. In addition, MCC recommends that a new timeline for
discussions be published which allows for adequate input )rom MCC, VCM, MCSC, and MNA
staffing and constituencies.

2.

MCC constituents are concerned that they have not been given an accurate outline of the MCC
situation in its service environment. That is, while the Alliance Presentation at the December 13, 2000

Council of Presidents meeting explained a partial basis of potential financial gains, it did not explain
that financially MCC does not present a great need for the Alliance, at least to the same extent as
VCM-that wants to secure financial stability-or MCSC-some of whose programs have an unstable
future with the prospective change of government. MCC is stable in that it generates substantive
annual membership fees, has a national support system, and has no competition for its services.
Moreover, the services it provides have been noted both by its constituents and nationally to be
outstanding.
Identity
3.

The identity of MCC must be very visible as it own separate entity and as a member of National
Campus Compact. This is important first because MCC frequently receives requests and orders from

its national organization that it must meet. The structure of the Alliance must be such that MCC may
quickly respond to its national requirements and not be slowed down, or meet interference from the
Alliance management. Second, the MCC identity must be clear for media and public purposes so that
member and nonmember colleges and universities are clear about opportunities available from MCC,
and how and why it is part of the Alliance. Media and outreach support is critical. The Alliance
infrastructure must thus be both supportive to MCC outreach needs and clear to the public.
MCC staff recommends that the contractual agreement of the Alliance include an identity and
corresponding release clause. If at any time the identity and/or mission of MCC is being
compromised and resolution is not made, MCC maintains the rightto leave the Alliance with all of
its respective programs, services, and assets with guarantee ofnon-duplication by the Alliance.

Staffing and Organizational Structure
4. MCC staff and oilier constituents have substantive concern about the level of staffing and
organizational structure proposed for tlte Alliance. For the MCC staff and constituents, these issues
must be addressed prior to fund raising.
1

Michigan Campus Compact refers to the proposed structure as "The Alliance". Its constituents do not
agree with tlte use of Volunteer, since volunteerism is only a small part of what MCC promotes.
2
The concerns presented have been collected by MCC staff in conversations with some MCC constituents
(presidents, commurtity service directors, service-learning directors, faculty, and students). A'dditional
concerns and benefits will presented after tlte March 16, 2000 meeting of the MCC Program and Planning
Committee that is slated to review the Alliance proposal.

�Currently MCC coordinates many programs, events, resources, and grants with a limited staff. At the
direction of the MCC Chair, MCC staff will not assume additional tasks. Thus there is concern about
the staffing of the MCSC programs that will come into the Alliance. The proposed level of staffing for
the Alliance is inadequate.
},fCC recommends that the time base of the "Shared" Staff must be evaluated and clearly
delimited
MCC must also have the option of hiring additional support staff, e.g. an administrative assistant,
to meet its needs. If it does so at its own cost, its contribution to Alliance administration must be
balanced according to reflect the additional staffing costs it has incurred

5.

MCC is also concerned about the reporting lines of the proposed Alliance; the relationship of the MCC
Council of Presidents (to whom the director directly and primarily repo\'(s) to the Alliance Board; and
the number ofMCC and VCM constituents on the Alliance Board and tl10se from MCSC and MNA.

Fund Development
6. Many MCC constituents have questions about tl1e Fund Raising efforts needed for the Alliance.
Many MCC presidents have extensive experience in fund development and do not believe that it is
possible to raise $10 million in private monies for operational costs.
They also question the effect of raising operational money upon future efforts needed to raise money
for Alliance programs.
MCC staff recommends that the Alliance Formation subcommittees proceed to conduct a feasibility
study prior to the MCC resolution to join the Alliance. Another option is for the MCC Resolution to be
contingent on the acceptable results of the feasibility study.

Fund Management and Politicization
7. MCC constituents appreciate the concern stated by VCM that the Alliance fund not be placed in a State
Trust Fund in order to avoid future political or legislative control and manipulation.
MCC recommends that legal advice on fund management be sought.

BENEFITS
Opportunity to participate in the creation of an innovative state level organization to promote and increase
partnerships in service and civic responsibility in Michigan. Steps must be taken however, to create a new
organizational structure based on the successes and challenges of the MNA umbrella organization. If

successful, the new structure should support and provide a model of collaboration, consensus-based
decision-making, and non-hierarchical structure for local community partnerships across .the state of
Michigan.
Possibility of additional staff. However, MCC staff notes that guidelines for the use of shared staff be

established to insure that administrative staffing is balanced. MCC has great need for additional staff, but it
may be able to achieve this goal with its own membership monies and external grants. If MCC hires an
additional staff from its membership funds, it proposes that the level of Alliance administrative funding be
correspondingly reduced.

�The Alliance: Concerns and Benefits
presented by VCM Advisory Council and Staff
March 2, 2000

CONCERNS:

l. VCM Identity: as the network of Volunteer Centers grows, it is imperative that VCM
maintain its neutrality, and its role as a state and national leader in supporting the Centers:
• VCM will adapt its affiliation agreement (currently held with MNA), and will include a
release clause. If at any time the identity/mission is being compromised and resolution is
not made, VCM maintains the right to leave the Alliance with all of its respective
programs and services with guarantee of non-duplication by the Alliance.
• VCM will actively pursue the appointment of a VCM representative to the Michigan
Community Service Commission.
2. Politicization: to avoid politicization of the organization and the field ofvolunteerism within
the state:
• Endowment funds must be held in a private (community) foundation rather than a State
Trust fund
• Although State funds are supporting this initiative, the Endowment fund must not be
named after any current political office holder, but after a mutually agreed upon historical
champion of volunteerism and community service (i.e. Romney, Mawby).
3.

Volunteerism SuperConference: it is agreed that the management and coordination of the
Volunteerism SuperConference should remain with MNA under the realm of training and
technical assistance, provided:
• The Alliance and Volunteer Centers of Michigan maintain significant representation on
the Planning Committee;
• The Alliance and Volunteer Centers of Michigan be acknowledged as conference
partners.

4. Staffing: In order to ensure the growth and enhancement of programs, demonstrating a
significant "value added" to the State as a result of this entity, VCM recommends the
following:
• A minimum of two project managers and one full-time support staff be added to the
proposed organizational chart
• The opportunity to involve college interns for the development of marketing materials
and special programs be considered and included in the budget.
BENEFITS (to VCM Network):

l. Increased staff= increased support: the availability oftwo full-time program staff focused
solely on support to existing and developing centers would significantly increase our local
service and impact, allowing for a stronger, larger, more effective network.
2. Improved communication: centralizing state progranuning related to volunteerism (Make
A Difference Day, ConnectMichigan, National Volunteer Week, etc) will create a much
cleaner flow of information and simplify participation and reporting processes for all parties.

1

�3. Perpetuity: sustainable funding will ensure the life of the organization, allowing a greater
degree of strategic planning and visioning for volunteer center growth and support services.

BENEFITS (to field):

I. Non-duplication of service: significant savings of staff time and financial resources will be·
achieved by streamlining programs at the state level.
2. Sustained funding for volunteer initiatives: significant growth (qualitative and
quantitative) will be achieved with staff focus being directed toward programming rather than
survival of the organization.
3. Opportunity for additional collaborative partnerships: the proposed mission and purpose
of the Alliance allows the addition of other collaborative partnerships (formal and informal,
internal and external) in the continued development of the state service infrastructure.
4. Innovation in nonprofit management (model): the opportunity to model local
collaborations and affiliations after this innovative model will be an additional contribution
that reaches beyond the field of volunteerism and can influence a significant number of
· community partnerships.

�Michigan's Amance for Volunteers

"The Alliance for Volunteerism"

The Alliance for Michigan's Volunteers and Volunteer Based Organizations
· Working in the areas of volunteer advocacy, programming, and technical assistance for the
private, public and social sectors of Michigan's communities

Proposed by:
Michigan Community Service Commission
Michigan Nonprofit Association
Volunteer Centers of Michigan
Michigan Campus Compact
Connect Michigan Partners

�Executive Summary
Michigan's Alliance for Volunteers (The Alliance) will be a specialize nonprofit organization that
will work to provide programming, technical assistance and advocacy support for Michigan
organizations utilizing the talents, resources and expertise of volunteers throughout our state. The
Alliance will initially consist of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC),
Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), Michigan
Campus Compact (MCC) and the ConnectMichigan Campaign Partners.
VCM and MCC will be permanently housed with in the Alliance along with a number of
programs and fundings sources' cutTently housed in the MCSC and MNA. MCSC, VCM, MCC
and MNA are permanent member of the Alliance. The graphic in Appendix 1 illustrates the
changes (see Appendix 1). Essentially, the MCSC and MNA will modify their cutTen! respective
functions to ensure that they are not competing and are executing support functions for the field
that are effective and efficient.
The Alliance will be established as a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization
comprised a board of directors consisting of not more than six members nominated and approved
by the Alliance partner organizations. An executive director will be appointed by the board of
directors and will serve at the will of the board. The executive director will be charged to handle all
day to day operations of the Alliance under the supervision of the board of directors.

Need
There is a need to avoid competition.
There is a need to build effeciencies.
There is a need to build autonomy for the programmatic, promotional and advocacy elements of
the field of volunteerism.
·

Solution
Spin off those elements that do not target, operationalize and capitalize on the core missions of
MCSC and MNA.
MCSC is a grant maker that incubates innovative and sustainable volunteer programs.
MNA is an membership association that advocates and provides services to Michigan's nonprofit
organizations

Advantages
Never before in the history of the two organizations has the timing been right economically and
