Kyle �The Michigan Volunteer Alliance "The Alliance" An Overview Prepared by the Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission, the Michigan Nonprofit Association, and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan Draft -- June 21, 2000 Purpose: The purpose of "The Alliance" is to centralize and stabilize state-level, volunteer and community service programming efforts in a manner that ensures: • long-term sustainability of volunteer efforts in Michigan, • cost efficiencies through shared resources; and • improved support services to Michigan communities through expanded programs and funding initiatives. As part of an unique public/private joint venture, "The Alliance" will administer programming and technical assistance currently administered by the Michigan Nonprofit Association and its affiliates (Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact) and the Michigan Community Service Commission. "The Alliance" will continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. A private endowment, funded through public and private sources, will be created to support "The Alliance" which will ensure its long-term stability. As the state's premiere volunteer and community service 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, "The Alliance" will consolidate the programmatic and administrative functions of the four partnering organizations thereby reducing or eliminating duplication of efforts, consolidating and maximizing financial and human resources, and uniting the state's volunteer and community service leadership (see working committee list attached). Funding: A total of $20 million in endowment funds would be established with the corpus comprised of two funding streams: • State: The State of Michigan made a one-time investment of $10 million toward an endowment to continue its commitment to volunteerism as a community problem solving mechanism in the state. This endowment would be managed by a private or community foundation (new or existing) and would generate approximately $250,000 to $500,000 annually that would be allocated directly to "The Alliance" for administrative and program funding. • Private: An additional $10 million would be leveraged in match funds to the State contribution which would be placed into the same private or community foundation endowment fund. This additional $250,000 to $500,000 in interest income would enhance "The Alliance" budget in Year two of its existence, bringing the annual budget of $ 1 million for support of the state's premiere volunteer organizations and initiatives. 1 �Background: In the past decade, Michigan has seen the development of a number of statewide volunteer support organizations that have been focusing on the promotion, support and advancement of volunteerism and community service. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution 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 (VCM). A year later, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) (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 the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and in 1994, the Michigan Legislature codified the MCSC in state law (PA219). 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 MNA. 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. Recently, the MNA (and its affiliates) and the MCSC 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 motivating factors - the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; and the 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. "The Alliance" will be that neutral third entity. �Michigan Volunteer Alliance Working Group Higher Education Nonprofits Michigan Campus Compact Michigan Nonprofit Association Dr. Leonard Plachta, President Central Michigan University Chair of the Michigan Campus Compact Ms. Anne Rosewarne, President Michigan Health Council Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Michigan Nonprofit Association Amy Smitter, Interim Director Michigan Campus Compact State Government Michigan Community Service Commission Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission Dr. Edward O.

I have been requested to gather information that will best represent VCM and local Centers in this campaign. The info will be used in the initial case statement design, as well as helping document local impact if we pursue funding from a specific community. (Rest assured, if we are coming to your community, you WILL have advance notice!!! This message has been heard loud and clear!) WHAT WE NEED are any numbers you have regarding your local impact. Included in this could be number of volunteers referred, folks recruited for large scale events, companies involved in corporate volunteer programs, placements through court-referrals, etc. (Monaghan has referred to them as "outcomes" -I think we refer to them as "outputs".) They said the numbers are what corporate/private funders will want to see. If you have additional anecdotal information, that will be helpful-l'd like to put a "face" with the numbers. I don't have any set format for you to follow- if you have annual reports, grant reports you've submitted, etc. Any info that will give them data they can use to sell the campaign will be helpful. As I'll be out of the office, please send your info via fax or mail (as quickly as you can!) to the attention of Tim or Rosalie here at MNA. They'll try to assemble it into some intelligible form for Monaghan. I know this is a short time-line, and I'd appreciate anything you can do to help us out here. In the long run, VCM will be the better for itl If you have any questions, call Rosalie at 888/242-7075. Fax is 517/355-3302, email is prosalie@pilot.msu.edu. Thank you!

At this point in our planning many questions remain to be asked, let alone answered. I hope you find the following useful as you prepare for our meeting on the 30th (you may already have some of these documents). A: B: C: D: E: F: Alliance Overview Alliance Mission and Goals, Programs and Services Alliance (Internal) State Challenge Announcement Michigan Campus Compact Discussion (responses to presidents questions during exploration process) MCC and VCM Mission Statements Past and Present MNA Board Members (we do not have a historical database for all Board members ... we are working on identifYing those not currently listed) The following are some random thoughts you may find helpful: "Alliance" Campaign-- $20,000,000 • • $10,000,000 allocated by the State for endowment purposes in the form of a $1:$1 challenge/match $10,000,000 advanced from private sources including foundations, corporations, organizations and individuals.

The Michigan Campus Compact was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution 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 inunense 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 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 ofMNA 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 and service programming efforts in a manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, "The Alliance" would administer programming and technical assistance 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 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 additional $10 million would be sought in match funds to the State endowment, which would be placed into the private endowment. 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.

Internal Announcement- State Allocation �FAX MEMORANDUM TO: MNA Board of Trustees FROM: Anne Rosewarne, Chair Sam Singh, President DATE: June 22, 2000 SUBJECT: Alliance Endowment On behalf of the Alliance Working Group, we are proud to announce the securing of the public funds for the Alliance Endowment. Late yesterday, the Michigan Legislature officially approved the $10 million in state funds for the Volunteer Alliance. Now the bill (part of a large supplemental budget bill - SB #0968) moves to the Governor's Office for his signature. The funds could be available by September 2000. The Alliance Work Group has completed a tremendous amount of work including developing articles of incorporation and bylaws for the Alliance. At the next meeting, the group will adopt the articles and bylaws that will begin the codification processes. The group will also begin to develop the fund raising strategy for the portion of the endowment represented by private sector contributions. This is a tremendous accomplishment and one of which we can all be truly proud. Still there is much more that we need to do to establish the Alliance, including successfully completing a campaign for the second half of the $20 million endowment. Special thanks to the members of the Alliance Work Group and staff of the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Community Service Commission for their tireless efforts in this process. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sam at 517/353-5038. We look forward to seeing you at the September 19, 2000 board meeting. S:\WINWORD\COMM~ Coounittee\Boud memo 062200 $10 mill for Allian<:e.doo �D: MCC Questions and Answers �1. .MCC MISSION AND IDENTITY How will the "ALLIANCE" preserve the mission and the identity ofMichigan Campus Compact as an organization dedicated to encouraging and supporting community service and service-learning within Institutions ofhigher education In the state ofMichigan? The ongoing discussions regarding the strategic alliance between the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) have revolved around the central theme of creating an organization that supports a lifelong ethic towards service and volunteerism. The new entity is also charged with maintaining the separate and distinct missions of VCM and MCC. A committee of representatives from MCC, VCM, MNA, and MCSC has been meeting over the past few months to discuss the mission, goals, and objectives of an organization that has been loosely called the "ALLIANCE". The committee; with support from the staff of the four organizations, has created the following mission statement and goals statements for the "ALLIANCE". "The mission of the "ALLIANCE" Is to promote and strengthen a life-long ethic ofand commitment to service, volunteerlsm, and civic engagement. To achieve this mission, the "ALLIANCE" will set goals In each of the following areas: • • • The "ALLIANCE" will engage In and promote community-based problem solving models that effoctively assess local needs and address them. The "ALLIANCE" will use strategies to educate, raise public awareness, and Increase the efficacy and benefits ofVolunteerism, and Service-Learning as two types ofcommunity and civic engagement experiences that support local problem solving. The "ALLIANCE" will encourage and develop collaborative partnerships that build on the expertise and strengths of the partners that share mutually beneficial resources. In the establishment ofthe "ALLIANCE" betweenMNA andMCSC, It Is affirmed that the existing mission statements ofMCC and VCM shall be maintained and supported. Michigan Campus Compact The mission ofMichigan Campus Compact (MCC) Is to promote a commitment to community service and to foster a life-long service ethic In students. Specifically, MCC seeks to create or expand community service and service-learning opportunities for students while promoting academic and co-curricular programs and to advocate for public policies that encourage and support student community service. Volunteer Centers ofMichigan The mission ofVolunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM) Is to strengthen existing volunteer centers, to provide leadership In developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerlsm statewide. " It is the intent of the committee to create an umbrella organization that will adequately house VCM, MCC, and the programs of MCSC. MCC will retain its independent S;\WINWORD\COMMrrilMiliance Conunittec\Answers to MCC Presidents questioN doc �identity, continuing to use its name and logo, while adding a tagline, "affiliated with the "ALLIANCE"." The model for insuring an independent MCC mission and identity is similar to the one developed by the MCC Council of Presidents in 1995 with their affiliation with MNA. 2. GOVERNING AUTHORITY OF MCC How will the "ALLIANCE" preserve the governing authority of the MCC Council of Presidents and its determination of budgetary matters, programmatic decisions, and fimdraising? What/eve/ ofrepresentation will MCC have on the governing board of the "ALLIANCE"? It is proposed that MCC will continue the same governing structure that has been developed and nurtured under the affiliation agreement between MCC and MNA in 1995. The organization, the "ALLIANCE", will have a twelve-member board of trustees. Each of the four founding organizations (MNA, MCC, VCM, and MCSC) will designate three delegates from their own membership to serve on the "ALLIANCE" Board of Trustees. This provides for equal participation from each of the founding organizations. Under this scenario, the voice ofMCC is much stronger than under the current affiliated relationship with MNA, which provides MCC three permanent seats on a board of directors of 40 individuals. As is the case under the affiliated arrangement with MNA, MCC's Council of Presidents is instrumental in setting the policy, program goals and objectives, to utilize to continue the excellent fundraising efforts that we have seen over the past five years. MCC is not an incorporated entity, nor does it have a 50l(c)(3) status, nor a license to solicit from the Attorney General. From its inception, MCC has been hosted by another entity such as Michigan State University or MNA. Because it does not have an official legal entity, it has always utilized the charitable status and legal status of either host institution. Because of that fact, MNA has assumed the responsibilities as fiduciary agent on behalf ofMCC. It is proposed that the "ALLIANCE" will serve in the same capacity as is currently being provided by MNA. 3. FUNDRAISING How wil/fondraislngfor the member organizations of the "ALLIANCE" be determined and conducted? Under the current arrangement, MNA, MCC, and VCM annually develop a budget and corresponding fund development plan for the following fiscal year. Based on the budget and the fund development plans, MNA has utilized the Fund Development Director and other staff to secure funds for all three organizations. The fundraising has been a joint initiative of the MCC Director, MCC Presidents, and MNA staff. As opportunities arise that are not part of the annual fund development plan, they are examined on a case by· case basis and the appropriate staff is delegated to securing the funds. For example, MCC President, Alan Stone, has been quite successful in securing numerous grant opportunities for MCC that were not part of the fund development plan. MCC and MNA staff has appropriately followed up on these requests to capture these opportunities. It is proposed tliat the "ALLIANCE" will serve in the same capacity as is currently being provided by MNA. �4. FUNDS ALLOCATION AND MANAGEMENT How will the fonds of the "ALLIANCE", i.e., those generated from the "ALLIANCE" Endowment and/or Building Revenue, be allocated? Moreover, how will both the endowment fonds and MCC membership dues be managed -jointly or separately? To what degree will the MCC Council ofPresidents and the MCC Executive Director be involved in the management ofMCC fonds? It is proposed that each of the directors of the "ALLIANCE" will present their annual budget to the President and CEO of the "ALLIANCE", who will utilize that infonnation to fonnally submit a budget to the "ALLIANCE" Board of Directors. In the proposed bylaws of the "ALLIANCE", each annual year budget needs to be approved by twothirds of the Board of Directors. The committee and staff have stated opposition to fonnula funding not wanting to bind future Board of Trustees. Grants and membership dues that are specifically eannarked for MCC will be part of the MCC department budget and will be used specifically for those tasks that resources have been eannarked for. We propose that all the funds of the organization be held in one bank account. Having one account will provide the organization with appropriate resources to deal with cash flow issues. Because of the sophistication of accounting software, the "ALLIANCE" will be able to provide a thorough accounting of the dollars that have been allocated towards MCC and their corresponding expenses. The MCC Executive Director will be held accountable for the funds that are allocated to their department. But the overall accountability of the financial situation ofMCC and the "ALLIANCE" shall fall on shoulders of the "ALLIANCE" President and CEO. It is anticipated that the "ALLIANCE" Board of Trustees will hold the management of all funds of the organi?.ation. · 5. SUPERVISION OF STAFF Who will have supervisory authority of the MCC Executive Director and other staff? Moreover, what formula will be used to determine the time base ofthe "ALLIANCE" shared staff, Including the fond developer, special event coordinator, and clerical support? What measures will be taken to insure that adequate support and expenditure oftime on MCC activities Is regularly maintained? · Under the model of staff arrangement under the "ALLIANCE", MCC, through the endowment funds, will be able to fund an Executive Director, the MCC Manager, a graduate assistant, and one support staff. The MCC Director will be the sole supervisor of the three staff members in their department. As is under the affiliated relationship with MNA, the MCC Director reports to the President and CEO, as well as to the MCC Council of Presidents. That same type of relationship will be proposed under this structure. Because MCC does not have legal standing, it is imperative that the "ALLIANCE" President and CEO supervise the day-today operations of the MCC Executive Director. As the history between MNA and MCC has shown, the supervision of the MCC Director and hiring of the MCC Director is essentially a joint project between the MCC Executive Committee and the President and CEO. For example, in the past transition ofMCC Director, the MCC Executive Committee and the MNA Board President interviewed candidates and jointly came to a selection of Dr. Peggy Hashemipour. �All shared staff will report directly to the President and CEO of the "ALLIANCE".

Late yesterday, the Michigan Legislature officially approved the $10 million in state funds for the Volunteer Alliance. Now the bill (part of a large supplemental budget bill - SB #0968) moves to the Governor's Office for his signature. The funds could be available by September 2000. The Alliance Work Group has completed a tremendous amount of work including developing articles of incorporation and bylaws for the Alliance. At the next meeting, the group will adopt the articles and bylaws that will begin the codification processes. The group will also begin to develop the fund raising strategy for the portion of the endowment represented by private sector contributions. This is a tremendous accomplishment and one of which we can all be tmly proud. Still there is much more that we need to do to establish the Alliance, including successfully completing a campaign for the second half of the $20 million endowment. Special thanks to the members of the Alliance Work Group and staff of the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Community Service Commission for their tireless efforts in this process. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sam at 517/353-5038. We look forward to seeing you at the September 19, 2000 board meeting.

As part of an unique public/private joint venture, "The Alliance" will administer programming and technical assistance currently administered by the Michigan Nonprofit Association and its affiliates (Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact) and the Michigan Community Service Commission. "The Alliance" will continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. A private endowment, funded through public and private sources, will be created to support "The Alliance" which will ensure its long-term stability. As the state's premiere volunteer and community service 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, "The Alliance" will consolidate the programmatic and administrative functions of the four partnering organizations thereby reducing or eliminating duplication of efforts, consolidating and maximizing financial and human resources, and uniting the state's volunteer and community service leadership (see working committee list attached). Funding: A total of $20 million in endowment funds would be established with the corpus comprised of two funding streams: • State: The State of Michigan made a one-time investment of $10 million toward an endowment to continue its commitment to volunteerism as a community problem solving mechanism in the state. This endowment would be managed by a private or community foundation (new or existing) and would generate approximately $250,000 to $500,000 annually that would be allocated directly to "The Alliance" for administrative and program funding. • Private: An additional $10 million would be leveraged in match funds to the State contribution which would be placed into the same private or community foundation endowment fund. This additional $250,000 to $500,000 in interest income would enhance "The Alliance" budget in Year two of its existence, bringing the annual budget of $ 1 million for support of the state's premiere volunteer organizations and initiatives. 1 �Background: In the past decade, Michigan has seen the development of a number of statewide volunteer support organizations that have been focusing on the promotion, support and advancement of volunteerism and community service. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution 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 (VCM). A year later, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) (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 the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and in 1994, the Michigan Legislature codified the MCSC in state law (PA219). 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 MNA. 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. Recently, the MNA (and its affiliates) and the MCSC 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 motivating factors - the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; and the 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. "The Alliance" will be that neutral third entity. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Michigan Campus Compact was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution 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 FonlUl) 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 mid· 1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the Michigan Nonprofit Association. TI1ese 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 intentional and effective partnership. As the field of service contlnuesto 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 an\! developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary motivators • the need to provide well-rounded s1,1pport services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; add 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 ofMNA 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 and service progranlllling efforts in a manner that ensures long-term sustainabi!ity. Initially, "TI1e Alliance" would administer programming and technical assistance 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 secure $20 million in endowment funds, which would consist of two funding streams: • ~ 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 additional $10 million would be sought in match funds to the State endowment, which would be placed into the private endowment. 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. Activity to Date • Jnne 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 Executive Committee for feedback. • October/November 1999- Administrative and program stn1cturc is finalized, fund development plan outlined. • November 1999 -Acquire legal feedback on the process. • December 2000 -Plan is presented for preliminary approval to MCSC, MNA, VCM and MCC. • January 2000- MNA chair and President meet with Governor Engler and MCSC staff to discuss the State's role in the creation of the Alliance. • January 2000-MNA Executive Committee meets and empowers staff to start researching the options for the endowment and fund development plans. • January 2000- A committee of board members from MCC, VCM, MNA and MCSC is formed to start negotiations. • February 2000 -Committee meets and charges staff to present a common mission and goal statements for the Alliance. • March 2000- Committee meets for second time and endorses the mission statement and goals and charges staff to develop a timeline, staff structure, bylaws and board development for their April meeting. • March 2000-Meet with MNA Board of Trustees, VCM Operating Cmmcil and MCC's Programming and Planning Committee to discuss progress and address concerns. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Michigan Campus Compact was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution 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 volunteeri.sm. Finally in 1991, newly elected Governor John Engler created by Execu.tive Order the Michigan Community Service Commission. Over the years, a.ll four organizations have worked collaboratively wi.th one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the Micbigan Nonprofit Association. These partnerships bave strengthened all three organizations and bave resulted in imm.ense administrat.ive savings. ln 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 Comm1:1nity Service Commission have made a concerted effort for more in.tentional and effective partnership. As the field of service contin.ues to change and be challenged by "o1:1tside influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred reganling lh.e need for a su.stainable s1:1pport system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary motiva.tors - 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 volun.teerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be m\l.ch more effective as a unified front than as two separate eatities. 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 ofMNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus. This concept\lal organization, unofficially dubbed '·The Alliance" for p111poses 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 p\II'J'OSe of "The Alt.iance" is to central,ize state-level, volunteer and service programming efforts in a manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, "The Alliance" would administer programmi:ng and technical assistance cunently administered by MNA, VCM, MCC, and MCSC. 'The Afliance" wouild continue to partner \vith additional organizations as deemed appropriate. An endowment fund would be created to support "The AfHance, '' which would secure its existence into perpetuity. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
