Sources of charitable contributions nationally* Bequests (7.8%) Foundations (12 .0%) Corporations (5.3%) *2000 contrib utions: $203.45 billion Source: AAFRC Trust for Philanthropy/Giving USA 2001 Michigan has more than 1,980 charitable grantmaking foundations , according to the Foundation Center-the national source for data . This number includes 180 new foundations created in the last two years . Private-independent foundations include the Kellogg , Matt, Kresge , and Skillman foundations. Corporate foundations include the Ford Motor Company Fund , Whirlpool Foundation , and Steelcase Foundation. The largest number of foundations are family foundations , such as the Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow Foundation and the Frey Foundation . Collectively, foundations in Michigan hold $22.1 billion in assets and make annual contributions of over $1 billion. Most of these assets are managed by a small portion of the 1,980 active foundations . The 402 largest foundations account for nearly 97 percent of this activity. In contrast, the 1,385 smallest foundations with annual giving below $50 ,000 collectively account for the remaining three percent.

More than 70 percent of the total dollar amount awarded fell into three broad categories: public affairs/society benefit (1 ,321 grants or 25 percent) ; education (1 ,282 grants or 23 percent); and human services (1 ,170 grants or 20 percent).

Source : The Foundation Center. The grants sample includes grants of $10 ,000 or more awarded to organizations by larger founda tions. Michiga n foundations in the sample accounted for nearly 70 percent of total giving reported by all Michigan foundatio ns in 2000 . Michigan is fortunate to have all counties served by 65 community foundations and their geographic affiliate funds . Thanks in part to the State of Michigan Tax Credit, major support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and a favorable economy, community foundation assets have grown in the last decade to exceed $1 .5 billion with annual grants of more than $50 million. Community foundations are currently partnering with the State of Michigan in distributing Tobacco Settlement Funds for healthy youth and healthy seniors projects. More than 1,500 high school students are annually involved with community foundation youth advisory committees in granting funds for youth projects. Through building permanent endowment funds, offering personalized giving opportunities, and serving as both a grantmaker and convenor, community foundations are helping to build strong Michigan communities. Thanks to the support of the Governor and the legislature, Michigan is one of only three states in the U.S. that provides a state tax credit for gifts to permanent endowment funds held by certified community foundations . For single individuals , or married taxpayers filing separately, the maximum credit is $100 (for gifts of $200 or more). For married couples filing jointly, the maximum credit is $200 (for gifts of $400 or more) . For corporations and other businesses which pay the Michigan Single Business Tax, the maximum credit is $5,000, or 5% of tax liability before claiming any credits, whichever is less.

According to the Foundation Center's recent report, Giving in the Aftermath of 9/11 , Michigan ranked ninth in the nation in funding response efforts. • Total U.S. contributions from institutional donors represented 57 percent ($854.4 million) of the estimated $1.5 billion of all private giving; the remaining 43 percent was donated by individuals. A sampling of how Michigan foundations and corporations responded • Nationwide, over 200 corporations and corporate foundations donated $1 million or more each. The Bank One Foundation establ ished a special Disaster Relief Fund to match employee contributions dollar-fordollar up to a total of $1 million . • 29 Michigan grantmakers contributed $22,441 ,054 of the more than $854.4 million contributed nationwide by 770 grantmaking institutions. • Nearly three-fifths of the $854.4 million was channeled to more than 100 intermediate or "conduit" relief funds (for example , the September 11th Fund of the United Way/New York Community Trust) created to aid victims and communities affected by the disaster. The full Foundation Center report is available online at: http://fdncenter.orglresearch/ trends_analysis/pdf/sept11.pdf CMS Energy/Consumers Energy contributed $50,000 to the American Red Cross New York-DC Explosion Relief Fund . In addition , an in-kind contribution helped provide ten fire-retardant suits for Center Line public safety officers to take to New York and assist with rescue/recovery efforts. Comerica matched employee and public donations up to $250 ,000 . DaimlerChrysler committed $10 million through the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund to support the children of victims of the terrorist attacks. DENSO North America Foundation and DENSO Corporation made donations totaling $200,000 to the American Red Cross. DTE Energy Foundation matched all employee donations to the American Red Cross of $25 or more. The Fremont Area Community Foundation matched all Newaygo County contributions to the September 11th Fund , up to a total of $25,000. �Potential challenges to charities Direct Mail Responses Decline Individuals responding to the terrorist attack crisis often gave a portion or all of the amount they had to give to organizations other than their usual causes. As a result of the attack and the Anthrax scare, response rates to direct mail requests have dropped. The Frey Foundation made a $25,000 grant to its local United Way. General Motors contributed $25,000 to the Black America Web Relief Fund , set up to directly aid the families affected by the terrorist attacks. In addition , the GM Foundation contributed $1 million to the American Red Cross and matched employee contributions dollar-for-dollar from the first dollar contributed . Reallocated Funds Some of the millions of dollars given by institutional donors to East Coast nonprofit charities were funds that the grantmakers had not planned to give away for September 11th relief efforts. With grantmakers reallocating funds , Michigan charities may not be funded as they were in the past. Depressed Stock Market Most foundations and corporations keep a large portion of their money in stocks and related investments. Over the past year, their portfolios have weakened , along with their ability to give. A slumping economy can hurt giving from all sources, as institutional donors and individuals have less money to giveaway. The Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation granted $100 ,000 to the Midland Chapter of the American Red Cross, restricted for New York City use. In perspective The Paul B. Henry Foundation granted $5,000 to its local American Red Cross Chapter for disaster relief. Giving USA Update 2001 released by the AAFRC Trust for Philanthropy reports that: The McGregor Fund donated $100,000 to the American Red Cross for disaster relief efforts. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation announced grants totaling $3.14 million to support disaster and humanitarian relief initiatives at home and abroad . SBC Ameritech matched employee gifts to selected organizations on a 1:1 basis. The Steelcase Foundation contributed $50,000 to the American Red Cross' National Disaster Relief Fund and $50 ,000 to the September 11th Fund . Speckhard-Knight Charitable Foundation donated $10,000 to the September 11th Fund . • The total amount of giving in the U.S. has increased every year but one (1987) for the past 40 years, including through wars , recessions and other crises . • Of the 70 percent of Americans who contributed something after the September 11th attacks, nearly three-quarters (73 percent) plan to contribute as much money or more than they have in prior years to other charitable purposes . �Connect Michigan AUiaue-e ConnectMichigan Alliance 517/492-2440 • Fax: 517/492-2444 The mi ss ion of the Co nnec tMichigan A lli ance is to promote and strengthen a li fe- lo ng ethi c of service and c ivic engagement through the support of community buildin g initiatives.

The President has gathered people together to demonstrate overwhelming compassion for the victims and families affected by the events of September 11th. "Our great challenge now is to encourage this outpouring of service and civic pride - and to harness it to a great national purpose. " President George W. Bush • Homeland security is a vital national as well as local interest. The events of September 11 th changed and amplified how Americans view their roles in society making service and volunteerism more important now than ever before. • Locally engaged citizens are the greatest defense to security threats, the most powerful resource in times of crisis and the most enduring form of community problem solving. • Michigan has taken a proactive approach to crisis management and has an emergency response plan through the Emergency Management Division of the Michigan State Police that directs and focuses the resources of federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency management organizations. This executive order builds on these plans and combines their forces by engaging citizens in service and expanding the resources available in response to crisis as well as in prevention and community strengthening. • Michigan has developed a strong infrastructure for helping its citizens serve their communities through a statewide alliance for volunteerism-the ConnectMichigan Alliance, a network of volunteer centers, a wide array of national service programs like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps, service-learning initiatives in schools, community collaboratives like America's Promise, annual activities like Make A Difference Day, and recognition programs like the Governor's Service Awards. • The Michigan Citizen Corps will establish an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission that will: o o o o submit a state plan for homeland security through volunteerism to the Governor; support the development and coordination of local citizen corps councils; broker federal, state and local resources including national service programs, for local volunteer citizen corps initiatives; and coordinate with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to enact the state plan and channel federal resources for training and technical assistance. �• The Michigan Citizen Corps Council will comprise 12 members and will mirror local councils in their make up by including representatives from law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services, businesses, community-based volunteer organizations, schools, places ofworship, health care institutions, public works, social service agencies and other key sectors. • The local Citizen Corps Councils will provide universal coverage (at a minimum, every Michigan county will be served by a council) for the coordination of engaged and prepared local volunteers and emergency management organizations. • By combining the emergency management forces with volunteer-based organizations, Michigan is ensuring that communities are better prepared in times of crisis or threat while strengthening the civic fabric of our society. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The President has gathered a people together to demonstrate overwhelming compassion for the victims and families affected by the events of September 11th_ "Our great challenge now is to encourage this outpouring of service and civic pride- and to harness it to a great national purpose." President George W. Bush USA Freedom Corps The USA Freedom Corps is a response to this national purpose. Comprised of three major components, the USA Freedom Corps will serve as an umbrella organization and will combine the forces of the Peace Corps and the Corporation for National and Community Service with a new initiative-the Citizen Corps-to encourage and support those who want to serve their country. Citizen Corps The Citizen Corps will provide avenues for Americans to serve thro~gh six distinct, yet related programs: • • • • • Volunteers in Police Service Neighborhood Watch Medical Reserve Corps Terrorist Information and Prevention System Community Emergency Response Teams These programs would be operated locally in coordination with funding and other resources from the state's volunteer and emergency management organizations. VI. Michigan Citizen Corps The Michigan Citizen Corps is a model program for implementing the President's USA Freedom Corps initiatives in Michigan. The draft executive order attached implements the President's expansion of service and volunteerism by exploiting the state's existing infrastructure while utilizing the new federal resources in the most efficient and effective method possible. �The Michigan Community Service Commission would spearhead the development and implementation of the Citizen Corps, local Citizen Corps Councils and the volunteer initiatives of the Michigan Citizen Corps. Implementation would include the distribution of federal funds, development of a state advisory council, assistance in the development ofthe local citizen councils, and training and technical assistance. VII. Method of Implementation Establish the Michigan Citizen Corps and Local Citizen Corps Councils By executive order, the Governor of Michigan would establish the Michigan Citizen Corps as an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission (see EO 2002-X attached). The 12-member body would comprise of individuals with expertise in emergency management, law enforcement, neighborhood safety/organizing, emergency medical response, volunteer management and other community-based constituency groups. As one of their initial duties, the Michigan Citizen Corps will develop assessment and action plans for Michigan's Emergency Response Readiness . Additional duties would include submitting a comprehensive plan to the USA Freedom Corps for funding, assisting in the development of local Citizen Corps Councils and providing technical assistance around community strengthening and emergency preparedness initiatives. Eventually each county in Michigan would develop a Citizen Corps Council. In the first year, 15 to 20 pilot communities would be selected to test how best to implement the Michigan Citizen Corps statewide. The Citizen Corps Councils overseeing those Michigan Citizen Corps programs will provide services, coordination and resources to local organizations as a means of ensuring homeland security and community strengthening. Composition ofthe Citizen Corps Councils will be determined by local communities, but would include local law enforcement, medical professionals, volunteer management organizations, government and other profit and nonprofit organizations. Utilize Existing Structures The Michigan Citizen Corps will begin by tapping the existing volunteer and emergency management infrastructure of the state. The Michigan Community Service Commission will assist in this function by convening a series of meetings of state and national experts, providing the necessary staffing, and administering public and private funds . The Michigan Community Service Commission will also direct its grantees, partners and affiliate organizations to provide the necessary coordination and cooperation to develop local citizen corps councils and their emergency readiness plans. Currently, the MCSC and its partners provide volunteer services to 80 of Michigan's 83 counties (see map attached). In addition, the Michigan Community Service Commission will serve as a connection between communities and other state government agencies that can help with �emergency readiness plans including county Family Independence Agency Offices, Multipurpose Collaborative Bodies, and Offices on Services to the Aging. The private sector connections can be provided through the Michigan Community Service Commission as well through the ConnectMichigan Alliance. These may include the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Nonprofit Association and others. In addition, the ConnectMichigan Alliance and the Michigan Community Service Commission can connect the philanthropic community through the state's community foundations, 4H County Extension Offices, and local United Way Agencies. Develop State and Local Plans The President's Call to Service included providing $144 million in support to local communities to develop preparedness plans. These funds would be distributed based on locally identified needs articulated in their plans. The Michigan Citizen Corps would develop its assessment, implementation and dissemination plan as a means of tapping not only a portion of the development and implementation funds through the USA Freedom Corps, but also national service resources for programs like AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn & Serve that can leverage volunteers to achieve the goals for the local plans. Local plans would be submitted to and reviewed by the Michigan Citizen Council which would make recommendations to the Michigan Community Service Commission for funding. A compilation of all the local plans would be assembled and summarized for submission to the Governor as part of a "state of readiness" plan. Other organizations may use this plan to help focus their resources on locally identified needs. Disseminate Resources Competitive funding will be distributed through a fair and open application process utilizing peer reviewers and clear guidelines. Local Citizen Corps Councils (utilizing the administrative systems of an existing organization or collaborative) will apply for and administer the Michigan Citizen Corps for federal and state resources earmarked for the USA Freedom Corps and the Michigan Community Service Commission. The Michigan Community Service Commission will coordinate the training, technical assistance and monitoring of the local Citizen Corps Councils where appropriate. Event Specific Actions In the event of local, state or nation emergencies, the Michigan Citizen Corps would coordinate local resources to address any emergency response needs where appropriate. State Federal Emergency Management Agency funding would be distributed in coordination with the Michigan Citizen Corps and local Citizen Corps Council's resources. This may include volunteers, emergency management resources and event specific training and technical assistance. The goal would be to provide volunteer and volunteer management resources in response to any local, state or national need. �Non-Event Actions During "non-emergency" periods, the Michigan Citizen Corps, local Citizen Corps Councils, and Citizen Corps programs would focus on strengthening communities through health, education, public safety and other human needs related programs. In addition, they would continue to prepare and update local preparedness plans taking into account new threats, resources and opportunities as they arise. Background Michigan's Volunteer Infrastructure For the past decade Michigan has invested in the state's volunteer infrastructure. Today, Michigan has one of the most comprehensive and intricate networks of volunteer-oriented nonprofit organizations working to provide resources, support and coordination. The ConnectMichigan Alliance brings together the state's premiere statewide volunteer (Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers ofMichigan) support organizations to support statewide and local efforts. The Michigan Community Service Commission serves as a grant making organization that brokers state and federal resources and leadership to encourage and recognize service and volunteerism in Michigan. The Michigan Citizen Corps can exploit this infrastructure along with Michigan's other human services networks including: multi-purpose collaborative bodies, state emergency management agencies, volunteer centers, Family Independent Agency county offices, 4H Extension Offices, community foundations, and other community alliances including Communities of Promise. National and Volunteer Service in Michigan The programs of the Corporation for National and Community Service is an existing organization with a portfolio of programs that engage all populations- from preKindergarten youth to retired senior citizens and includes the largest federally funded stipended volunteer program-AmeriCorps. Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan's current portfolio of AmeriCorps programs includes 26 nonprofit organizations deploying more than 800 full- and part-time members. Annually, each Michigan's AmeriCorps member leverages 25 additional volunteers making for a high impact volunteer leveraging program model. Learn & Serve Michigan Service learning is a teaching methodology that ties the community to the learning outcomes students need to achieve to be productive citizens. Annually, over 50,000 teachers, students, parents and others serve the needs of their community through service learning. The Michigan Community Service Commission administers nearly $1 million in Learn & Serve funding to Michigan schools and community based organizations. �Volunteer Investment Grants Michigan volunteer centers provide volunteer recruitment, placement, training, and technical assistance to nonprofit organizations. Volunteer centers provide their services to the majority of Michigan communities, however their ability to maintain the quality of services with a long-term strategic develop plan is limited by a number of factors . The Volunteer Investment Grants programs help to develop permanent endowment funds to support volunteer resource centers in communities across the state while also strengthening the leadership, staffing and operations of those centers. Other State-sponsored Volunteer Programs The Michigan Community Service Commission is one of several state agencies that promote and coordinate volunteer programs. The Michigan Department of Community Health's Office on Services to the Aging administers Michigan's Senior Corps programs (RSVP, Senior Companion, and Foster Grandparents) with federal funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service along with some state funds . The Michigan Department ofNatural Resources and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality promote the Adopt a Part of Michigan program that helps volunteers adopt parks, rivers and highways to ensure that they are clean and safe. The Michigan Family Independence Agency county offices coordinate volunteer programs that engage the talents and energies of their clients and others to serve local needs. The Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps engages young people in maintenance and restoration activities to ensure the quality and existence of Michigan's parks and recreation assets. The program is a residential program that provides education awards through the Michigan's AmeriCorps program. Michigan's network of Communities of Promise focus on providing vital resources to children around the five promises of America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth. The 26 community collaboratives bring together are youthserving organizations, government, nonprofit and for-profit organizations to help the the area young people. The Michigan Community Service Commission works in partnership with all of these initiatives and organizations and makes it the most appropriate lead agency for the President's Citizen Corps program. �EXECUTIVE ORDER 2002 - X MICHIGAN CITIZEN CORPS MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF CAREER DEVELOPMENT WHEREAS , this administration continues to be committed to encouraging all citizens, organizations and institutions in Michigan to help in solving our most critical problems by volunteering their time, effort, energy and service in times of prosperity as well as dire crisis; and WHEREAS, the need for homeland security, community health and public safety have increased and have led to the need to call upon the compassion, inventiveness and the entrepreneurial spirit of all citizens to help solve many of the problems facing their communities; and WHEREAS, it is the standing reputation of this administration to discover and to encourage new community service leaders, to promote individuals, organizations and institutions that serve as outstanding examples of a commitment to serving others, and to convince all Michigan citizens that a successful life includes serving others; and WHEREAS, significant issues facing the nation and State continue to be addressed by the collaborative efforts of committed citizens volunteering their time and talents through volunteer centers, national service programs, schools, community organizations, government agencies, businesses, labor groups and a host of other community and State efforts; and WHEREAS, Michigan has established a comprehensive, intricate and effective community-based and community-driven infrastructure for state-sponsored national and community service through the Michigan Community Service Commission and its public- and private-sector partnering organizations; and NOW, THEREFORE, I, John Engler, Governor of the state of Michigan, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Constitution of the state of Michigan of 1963 and the laws of the state of Michigan, do hereby order the following : �I.

GOVERNOR BY THE GOVERNOR: SECRETARY OF STATE �SECOND DRAFT Michigan Citizen Corps Michigan's Answer to the USA Freedom Corps and The President's Call to Service During his State of the Union Address, the President issued a call for every American to give two years of their lives to others through volunteer service. The President has gathered a people together to demonstrate overwhelming compassion for the victims and families affected by the events of September 11th. "Our great challenge now is to encourage this outpouring of service and civic pride - and to harness it to a great national purpose." President George W. Bush • Homeland security is a vital national as well as local interest. The events of September 11 1h changed and amplified how American's view their roles in society · making service and volunteerism more important now than ever before. • Locally engaged citizens are the greatest defense to security threats, the most powerful resource in times of crisis and the most enduring form of community problem solving. • Michigan has taken a proactive approach to crisis management and has an emergency response plan through the Emergency Management Division of the Michigan State Police that directs and focuses the resources of federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency management organizations. This executive order builds on these plans and combines their forces by engaging citizens in service and expanding the resources available in response to crisis as well as in prevention and community strengthening. • Michigan has developed a strong infrastructure for helping its citizens serve their communities through a statewide alliance for volunteerism- the ConnectMichigan Alliance, a network of volunteer centers, a wide array of national service programs like ArneriCorps and Senior Corps, service-learning initiatives in schools, community collaboratives like America's Promise, annual activities like Make A Difference Day, and recognition programs like the Governor's Service Awards. �• The Michigan Citizen Corps will establish an advisory body to the Michigan Community Service Commission that will: o o o o Submit a state plan for homeland security through volunteerism to the Governor; support the development and coordination of local citizen corps councils ; broker federal, state and local resources including national service programs, for local volunteer citizen corps initiatives; coordinate with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to enact the state plan and channel federal resources for training and technical assistance. • The Michigan Citizen Corps Council will comprise 12 members and will mirror local councils in their make up by including representatives from law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services, businesses, community-based volunteer organizations, schools, places of worship, health care institutions, public works, social service agencies and other key sectors. • The local Citizen Corps Councils will provide universal coverage (at a minimum, every Michigan county will be served by a council) for the coordination of engaged and prepared local volunteers and emergency management organizations. • By combining the emergency management forces with volunteer-based organizations, Michigan is ensuring that communities are better prepared in times of crisis or threat while strengthening the civic fabric of our society. �DRAFT April 22, 2002 The Honorable Rick Johnson Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives 166 Capitol Building Lansing, Michigan 48909 The Honorable Dan DeGraw Majority Leader of the Senate S-1 06 Capitol Building Lansing, Michigan 48909 Dear Senator DeGraw & Speaker Johnson: By way of this letter, I am transmitting Executive Order 2000-7 establishing the Michigan Citizen Corps Council to serve as an advisory body within the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). The Council is a component of the Michigan Citizen Corps-a new program designed to harness the power of citizens to help prepare their local communities for the threats of terrorism. This Order establishes a community-oriented statewide body to facilitate the creation and coordination of local citizen corps councils, help develop local plans for homeland security and volunteerism, coordinate local resources and ensure collaborative programming efforts for community strengthening. The Michigan Citizen Corps will coordinate local and state volunteer training and coordination with emergency management agencies. This is in keeping with the President's vision of domestic security and community development as illustrated in his consolidation of national service and homeland security through the formation of USA Freedom Corps. The USA Freedom Corps is an umbrella organization that encompasses the Corporation for National and Community Service, Peace Corps and the newly created Citizen Corps. The creation of the Michigan Citizen Corps within the MCSC is in keeping with my goals of utilizing service and volunteerism as enduring means of community problem solving and ensuring that resources are channeled to the local level where they are needed most. This Order will better prepare Michigan communities for emergency situations and develop stronger communities through local preparedness plans and coordinated community volunteer resources.

We recognize the exemplary efforts of Michigan schools in developing creative ways to make learning through service important components to a quality education. We applaud the work of the students, teachers, parents, administrators, business and civic leaders who demonstrate a commitment to academic achievement and service to community as necessary elements for the continuation of a healthy democracy. The Michigan State Board of Education understands that given the responsibilities and accountability requirements on educational institutions, care must be taken to assure that Board endorsements support educators without undue additional burden . As innovations come to the attention of the Board, tools and resources that assist educators in meeting the current demands for academic achievement, workforce development, accountability, civic engagement and should be shared. These innovations may include the introduction of carefully crafted, teachergenerated and tested, curriculum enrichment materials and active teaching strategies We believe that the teacher developed lesson plans of Learning to Give and the companion techniques of service-learning are valuable tools for addressing the long-term goals of: quality student academic achievement; workforce readiness; safe and secure educational environments; and a strengthened democracy and civil society. We accept the national and state education research that describes how service-learning improves schools, builds communities, and fosters civic engagement among young people. Service-learning techniques help schools to graduate students with a deeper understanding of content, stronger sense of purpose and enhanced commitment to bettering their society. Service-learning offers a powerful, experiential teaching tool to assist educators in fulfilling their current responsibilities. We accept the extremely positive teacher responses to the new Michigan developed Learning to Give initiative as preliminary evidence of an effort worthy of further replication, adoption, and study. These new teacher-tested, standardsbased lessons and resources provide high quality, classroom-friendly academic ,_ �,......., • L ::f-1 units of study directly aligned with the Michigan Curriculum Frameworks. Michigan teachers are in the forefront of this international effort to intentionally transmit the tradition of giving , service, democratic citizenship, and individual concern for the common good to the next generation. Together, the Learning to Give academic resources , and service-learning as a teaching strategy, are worthy of serious consideration by Michigan educators as enhancements and resources to the critical task of preparing Americans for democracy. The Michigan State Board of Education encourages all Michigan citizens to consider how our state's education system will continue its dual mission of delivering quality, academic content in contextually relevant ways, while simultaneously instilling core democratic values, transmitting fundamental ideas of democracy, and providing opportunities for students to build skills in citizenship. In keeping with the MDE policies on Character, Family Involvement, Safe Schools, Effective Learning Environments, Prevention of Bullying and Encouraging Tolerance, we encourage Michigan schools to utilize servicelearning as a powerful teaching method that helps to make learning, exciting , meaningful, relevant and lasting for our students. We encourage Michigan teachers to select and integrate academic lessons from Learning to Give as teacher-developed resources to enrich student understanding of civil society and the role of free people in a democracy. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He cheri shed hi s role as a volunteer and hi s personal mission was to e ncourage and support vo lunteer efforts in local communi ties, statewide, and nati onall y.

By developing a desire to serve at an early age, our yo ung volunteers have the opportu nity to begin their lifelong commitmen: of helping others and addressing community issues. Young people often li sten to their peers. For that reason, an annua l statew ide poster contest was developed to promote youth volunteerism. Students are encouraged to create and submit a visual image and slogan they feel wil l interest and motivate their fellow youth. The 2002 Youth Volunteering to Unite Our Communities poster contest invited Michigan students of midd le, junior high, and high school age to work together in teams of two to four to design a poster and slogan. A review panel of youth peers and adu lts from youth-serv in g organizations determined the winning entry which was printed and will be disseminated to schools and youthserving organizations across Michigan. The MCSC thanks the sponsors of this year's contest for their generou s support: Consumers Energy, Mary Estrada, Michigan Department of Career Development, Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Fami ly Independence Agency, and Michigan State Police Troopers Association. Congratulations to the 2002 winners: Tara Kay George, Gina Kalkman, Megan. Scott, and Giovanna Martine z from C. W Otto Middle School in Lansing. We also commend their teacher, Deborah Cole, for supporting these students in their efforts.

Most social service and nonprofit organizations rely heavily on volunteers as a valuable human resource; that resource must be stewarded carefully and supported continuously. Volunteer recruitment, management, training, placement, and recognition requiTe resources and attention. With continued public and private support, along with the necessary training, resources, and coordination needed to help people serve, volunteerism can become a way of life for all Michigan citizens. 26 The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is a state agency that supports serv ice and volunteerism in Michigan. It serves as a vital resource for volunteerism in Michigan by enhancing and sustaining the capacity of Michigan's volunteer-oriented organizations. The goal of the MCSC is to engage Michigan citizens in community serv ice activities that meet local needs. Since its founding in 1991 , the MCSC has granted more than $4 1 million in public and private funds to community programs, enabling them to engage thousands of Michigan citizens in volunteer service. This support has leveraged more than $34 million in local resources to further support these community volunteer initiatives. • The MCSC has engaged more than 500,000 youth, adults, and seniors in community service activities since 1994. • Annually, the MCSC grants $7.5 million in federal funds to local communities to support national service programs. • Michigan 's AmeriCorps-a "domestic Peace Corps"- is a national service program that recruits more than 800 members each year. For each Michigan 's AmeriCorps member the MCSC has supported, an additional 15 volunteers were recruited to work on issues important to our communities. • In support of America 's Promise, AmeriCorps Promi se Fellows have touched the lives of more than 34,000 youth by providing them with mentors, after school activities, and opportunities to serve their community. • In one day, more than 84,000 seniors, adults, and youth volunteered their talents for Make A Difference Day projects throughout the state. • In the past year, teachers engaged nearly 25 ,000 students in service-learning activities that combine community service with classroom learning. • More than 2,000 volunteers have been identified by theiT peers as " the best of the best" and nominated for a prestigious Governor's Service Award. • Volunteer centers throughout the state increased their capacity to recruit, train , and place volunteers and now cover approximately 85 percent of Michigan 's communities. �MCSC rri~ MCSC!/tal/} Russell Mawby, MCSC Chair Nancy Lenz Jerry L.

Bldg. , 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Legislative Outreach Subcommittee Meeting Terry Pruitt, Chair Vivian Pickard Karen Aldridge Eason FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Summary ofMeeting of April19, 2001 DATE: Wednesday, May 09,2001 The commission members discussed five topics: reasons to target the Michigan Legislature, methods, legislative event, press and constituent relations, federal perspective, follow up activities. Targeting Reasons The committee discussed that the MCSC needs to provide information to the members of the Michigan Legislature for general awareness building, bolster chances of grant funds being approved, show appreciation for past support (ConnectMichigan Alliance, VIG), continuation of the work of the MCSC in future administrations. Methods Members discussed the hosting of annual or semi-annual celebration events that include the members of the Michigan Legislature, the press and other potential stakeholders. In addition, committee members wished to emphasize that the MCSC staff need to send press releases on all grant funding. Another discussion point focused around the MCSC ensuring strong ties to local communities to ensure that they may "lobby" on the organization' s behalf. In other words, the MCSC needs to utilize its constituency base. �Legislative Event The members agreed that another legislative outreach event hosted by the Governor and First Lady needed to be held. The meeting should provide policy recommendations, specific asks, sound bites on the MCSC, bragging on how MCSC is positioned nationally, and testimony on the specific benefits public support ofvolunteerism. Press & Constituent Relations Specific recommendations to staff on immediate changes included: • • • • Send grant award press releases to legislators and have staff follow up with their offices Encouraging grantees to invite legislators to special local events Focus on strong program areas Target new legislators Federal Perspective Ensure that Michigan gets its faire share of federal funding and that Michigan's leadership role is clearly understood and recognized and that the Engler's are recognized for their leadership. Follow Up MCSC staff will mail information staff sends to commissioners to the committee members. No future meeting was set.

Romney Lansing , Telephone : FAX : Chairperson Russell G. Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capito l Ave . Bldg ., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members ofthe Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross, Director of Finance & Administration ~ Michigan Community Service Commission ~ RE: Finance & Administration Division's Repmi DATE: May 9, 2001 f2 _... The following is a brief update of the current issues facing the Finance and Administration Division. FY 2001 Spending Attached is the Comparative Financial Statement for the first two quarters of the fiscal year. The period covers October 1, 2000 through March 31 , 2001. As you can see, our spending is low for the first two quarters. As in the past, our expenditures have been very slow in the first half of our fiscal year with a higher percentage of expenditures occurring during the late spring and summer months. In addition, no department overhead charges are included in these numbers. The Michigan Department of Career Development (MDCD), our fiscal agent, has not yet assigned the costs for overhead into our accounting due to staffing changes within the Office of Financial Management. I fully expect the first two quarters administrative charges to be processed this month. We are estimating the administrative charges to be around $60,000 per quarter. Also affecting our spending is the open positions and the fact that we have budgeted for the move and the lease space costs for the year. As some of you may have heard, the state is experiencing a shortfall in revenues for this year. We are currently working with the Budget office to determine cuts that we will need to incur for the current and future fiscal years. New Office Space We are well on our way towards moving into our new building. As of today, our future space is around one half of the way finished with an expected move date of June 1, 2001. There has been a flurry of activity in the past couple of weeks working with the private management company, builder, and the Department of Management and Budget to fmalize the move. �The space is roughly 7,200 square feet and will include a conference room large enough for Commission meetings. The new address will be 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4, Lansing, Michigan 48911. For the first time in many years, we will have enough office space to house all of our staff and also space enough to have the whole staff meet together. As soon as the date of our move is finalized, we will be sending out a notice to our whole database with our new address. Federal Audit We have not received any new word from the agency that will be performing our federal audit. I expect that we will receive a call during this month to check our status regarding our move and with our projected move date, we can probably expect to have the audit scheduled during the late summer period. Personnel Matters As part of the recent state revenue shortfalls, we have been placed under a complete hiring freeze. Any new positions requested require a long process of review by both the Department of Career Development and the Department of Management and Budget. We currently have a few open positions that we will be working on filling that will be contingent on budget cuts for the current and future budget year. Summary The overall financial health of the organization and grant programs is good. Volunteer Investment Grant funds distributions are lower than previous years, however they are within projected ranges. National Service funding levels from the Corporation for National Service (CNS) are projected to remain flat for the next fiscal year. Again, MCSC staff projected this funding level based upon the Census information. Other revenues from the state for administrations have not been adversely affected, however House budget hearings are taking place now to address the projected up to $600 million dollar state revenue shortfall. To date, only the hiring freeze has adversely impacted the operations of the MCSC. This freeze has delayed us from implementing some of the preparation steps that we want to take to address our pending audit and future financial systems oversight improvements. As more details become available, I will update you on any impact these budget changes will have on our work. If you have any questions or concerns that I can help you with, please feel free to call me at (517) 373-8028 or email at grossg@state.mi.us . 2 �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Comparative Financial Statement/FY 01 As of March 31, 2001 STATE FUNDS Budget Actual FEDERAL FUNDS Budget Actual REVENUES Current Year Prior Year Carryover 8,000,000 8,000,000 208 ,275 208,275 6,050,103 6,050,103 0 0 0 122,090 0 122,090 14,050,103 14,050,103 330,365 330,365 Total Revenues 8,208,275 8,208,275 6,050,103 6,050,103 122,090 122,090 14,380,468 14,380,468 Program Operational 7,208,275 6,629,571 5,000 3,540 5,268,077 5,086,357 175,350 20,000 10,000 0 0 0 12,486,352 11,715,928 180,350 23,540 Total Sub Grants 7,213,275 6,633,111 5,443,427 5,106,357 10,000 0 12,666,702 11,739,468 PRIVATE FUNDS Budget Actual TOTALS Budget Actual SUB-GRANTS OPER.

The committee approved the staff program funding recomm endations for: • Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Renewals applications at $ 1,109,980 for 71 full-time, 38 part-time and 6 sununer only members ; • Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Education Award Onl y Renewals applications at $73 ,000 for 120 full -time, 150 part-time and 0 summer only members; • Michi ga n's AmeriCorps New Formula applications at $1,764,555 fo r 127 full-time, 26 part-time and 12 summer on ly members; and • Michigan ' s Vo lunteer Investment Grants Round Two applications at $141 ,885 for two programs. Regarding the remaining FY 2001 state funding for Michigan ' s Vo lunteer Investment Grants, Commissioner P ruitt expressed his concern that the program is not expending all the $1 million appropriated for the VIG program annually. Mr. Caldwe ll explained that the staff shared his concem and in response, has conunissioned a study of the program. The resu lts of the study will help guide the staff recommendations fo r modification to the VIG program . This, along with a recap of the staff funding recommendations appro ved by the Exec utive Committee, will be take n up at the May 21, 200 1 meeting for consideration by the full membership . �Michigan's AmeriCorps Match Waiver Appeal The committee approved the staff request for staff authority to detem1ine if a waiver of the new Michigan's AmeriCorps match requirement was warranted for the Creston Neighborhood Association (CNA), which submitted an appeal to the waiver. The staff requested that the CNA provide a detailed rationale for the waiver and work plan to bring the program into compliance with the new match requirement rule next year. That response was due April 27, 2001 and the MCSC's application to the Corporation for National Service (C S) is due May 15 , 2001. Both dates are prior to the MCSC May 21,2001 meeting and therefore staff need to be in a position to make a decision on the matter without the advance approval of the full commission. The staff request was approved. ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Executive Committee members charged staff with drafting a letter from Commissioners Mawby, Cummings and Engler to go out to the full body emphasizing the need for their pariicipation in the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign. The letter will offer suggestions on amounts and will be distributed with ConnectMichigan Alliance materials and postage to members who have not yet participated.

Mr. Caldwell will contact other nonprofit organi zations including the Council of Michigan Foundations and Grand Valley State University to seek their advice and perhaps gath er some examples of quality materials. September Retreat The committee discussed the details ofthe next retreat of the membership. The next retreat of the MCSC will be held on September 10- 11, 2001 at Brooke Lodge in Augusta, Michigan. The retreat will deal with "transitions,'' both at the state and national levels and within the Michigan volunteer field specifically.

In our organizational conference call, staff presented three scenarios for conducting the search process for our review. After careful deliberations, the committee chose to conduct a limited national search that would be facilitated by staff. The committee also approved a revised job description and directed staff to start the dissemination process. The staff conducted a thorough search process utilizing both print and electronic methods for distributing the job description. The following publications and list servs were utilized in this process: Crain's Nonprofit News Chronicle of Philanthropy Chronicle on Higher Education MNA Nonprofit Links MNA Member Mailing VCM List Serv MCC List Serv Nonprofit Times Points of Light Foundation List Executive Search The search process resulted in over 45 resumes being submitted. The staff did an initial review and presented a detailed list of candidates and a set of recommendations on candidates to be interviewed by the committee. The committee is planning to interview four candidates in the month of May. It is our hope that we will have a final decision by early June with a candidate able to join the CMA staff by mid-July. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bldg. , 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Board Development Committee Nancy Lenz, Michigan National Bank Terry Pruitt, Dow Coming Corporation FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director RE: Meeting ofMarch 21, 2001 DATE: Wednesday, May 09,2001 4 The following is a summary of the Board Development Committee meeting on March 21, 2001 via conference call where members addressed appointment recommendations, potential training opportunities for commissioners and possible mentor/mentee matches. Appointments The members charged staff with finding a possible candidate from the Salvation Army to serve on the MCSC as a representative of the "Faith-based Community" as a proactive strategy to address future possible changes in the national and state funding priorities. Salvation Army personnel work with faith- and community-based organizations and rely heavily on volunteers. The new State Superintendent for Public Instruction will be Tom Watkins. Dr. Watkins will be a mandated member of the MCSC upon his appointment and therefore, the committee felt that it was important for Dr. Watkins to receive a personal invitation to attend the next commission meeting and the Governor's Service Awards. Dr. Mawby will approach Dr. Watkins. Other areas that the committee is seeking representation include: Local Government (waiting on call back from George Goodman of the Municipal League), Disability Community, Labor (United Ways- waiting for call back from Chris Nelson, United Way of Michigan and follow up to Terry P. inquiry to Saginaw Labor Council). �Training for Commissioners The North Central Cluster of State Service Commissions is planning a training for commissioners. The dates of the meeting would be Tuesday through Thursday, July 31, August 1, and August 2, beginning at noon on July 31st and ending at noon on August 2nd and will be held in Illinois, but not downtown Chicago. You may recall that a survey of your training and informational needs was sent to you a month ago to assess how this training might best serve your needs. More information will be available after the next planning meeting on May 17, 2001. Mentoring Program The committee members discussed the implementation of a commissioner-mentoring program that some commissioners have been conducting on their own for the past 18 months. The Commissioner Mentoring Program would involve matching veteran commissioners with new members where new members would be provided an introduction meeting, given an orientation to the commissioner manual, contacted by the mentor prior to the meetings and functions and shadow veteran commissioners at public speaking events. A potential list will be drafted for commissioners to review. Thank you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Civic engagement. Service-learning. Mentoring. Volunteerism goes by a lot of names these days, and it can be tough to keep them all straight. But the idea the spirit - has always stayed the same. Sometimes this giving involves special skills, but often, it's just about lending an ear. A helping hand. An hour in an already busy week. With so many opportunities to help out, it's ironic that the most difficult aspect of volunteerism for many has been " where do I go to get involved, how can I serve, what more can I do?" And that's where the ConnectMichigan Alliance really shines. This dynamic, new entity is being created to support Michigan's volunteers in their efforts to help others. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will work with schools, nonprofit organizations, churches, businesses, campuses, human service agencies and other organizations to ensure that every individual can give back to their community now and well into the future. Formed through an innovative partnership of four model volunteer organizations, this alliance will strengthen community volunteerism and support valuable local volunteer initiatives. Working as one, we can improve the quality of life for Michigan citizens as never before. A gift of time. One person helping another. Such simple ideas. But what a difference they make. neighborhood beautification 'The magnitude of our social "I 've seen it problems will require that all happen- citizens and institutions make one person, a commitment to volunteering performing as a way of life and a primary even the opportunity to create needed smallest service, change."

It also includes those who've joined a network that strives to instill an ethic of service and civic action in college students (Michigan Campus Compact), and a statewide association for non-profits that gives a voice to and supports the vast array of Michigan's nonprofit organizations (Michigan Nonprofit Association) . Finally, it includes a governmental body that promotes service by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts (Michigan Community Service Commission). These groups have come together creating a powerful force for volunteerism-a private nonprofit organization-the ConnectMichigan Alliance. "I'm proud of the Michigan's national leadership role in promoting volunteer efforts.The Connect Michigan Alliance continues the work started more than "We all benefit when students engage in service-learning activities.

"The $20 million Connect Michigan Alliance Endowment represents an unprecedented public/private partnership. Our state has a long and powerful history of philanthropy and volunteerism.

Kellogg Foundation �legacy The goal of this campaign is to sustain and strengthen the legacy of the ConnectMichigan Alliance. This innovative partnership leverages additional financial and human resources and creates a seamless support system for volunteers here in Michigan. The $1 0 million dollar challenge grant reflects an unprecedented level of support from the State of Michigan-but this challenge can't be met without all of us working together. For the next 24 months, Michigan's foundations, corporations and individuals have a unique opportunity to join together to promote volunteerism and impact community problem solving throughout Michigan. With everyone's help. we can sustain and grow the legacy of community building and individual support that has become a trademark of our state. Every volunteer who works to help out another is not only positively impacting someone's life, but saving public resources that can be used to help those in even greater need. It has never been more important to show your support for the power of volunteerism and there has never been a better way than the ConnectMichigan Alliance.

National AmeriCorps Web-based Recruitment System The Corporation recently launched the new AmeriCorps web based recruitment and placement system (AC*RPS). Individuals interested in serving as an AmeriCorps member now have a place to go to find out which AmeriCorps opportunities are available that might match their interests. They can apply to multiple programs and track their selection process-all at the speed of the Internet. At this moment AC*RPS contains approximately 700 AmeriCorps program listings and thousands of AmeriCorps member assignments. AC*RPS was developed based on issues, ideas and suggestions articulated by hundreds of people including AmeriCorps program staff (state programs, national direct sponsors and AmeriCorps*VISTA projects), State Commission staff, Corporation staff and AmeriCorps members and alumni. AC*RPS simplifies the AmeriCorps application process, strengthens customer service, and provides a more comprehensive method to promote AmeriCorps and generate interest among the growing number of persons who access the World Wide Web.

The Michigan's Promise Benchmarks (MPB) were developed by the Communities of Promise and the MCSC to acknowledge and celebrate the various levels of commitment of the communities involved in local Michigan's Promise activities. These benchmarks are also designed to assist communities strengthen the framework and develop strategies to build their local Promise initiatives. The MPB were distributed to commissioners at the December commission meeting. The Communities ofPromise were asked to indicate the level of their ongoing involvement with Promise activities through their participation in the Michigan's Promise Benchmarks at one of three levels: 1) Active Community of Promise, 2) Affiliate Community of Promise, and 3) No Longer Pursuing Promise Activities. The Communities of Promise who are working toward meeting the highest level of the Michigan's Promise Benchmarks as Active Communities ofPromise are: Alpena/Montmorency Counties, Capital Area (Lansing/East Lansing) Chippewa County, Dickinson/Iron Counties, Delta County, Eaton Rapids, Ionia Cow1ty, Isabella County, Jackson County, Kalkaska County, Luce County, Mackinac County, Marquette/ Alger Counties, Montcalm County, Muskegon, Saginaw County, St. Joseph County and Tri-Cities (Grand Haven/Spring Lake/ Ferrysberg). The following communities decided to serve as Affiliate Communities of Promise as they are not actively pursuing the Michigan's Promise Benchmarks at this time, yet want to remain connected with the Promise initiative: Flint and Grand Rapids. The following communities have not responded to date regarding the level of their ongoing commitment to their local Promise activities: Calhoun County, Detroit, Kalamazoo County, Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and Tuscola County. A personal call is being made by Mary Grill to each of the Communities of Promise to encourage them to stay connected with Michigan's Promise at the appropriate level as detem1ined by each local community. In summary, 18 of the 25 Communities ofPromise (72%) remain active and two Communities ofPromise (8%) moved to affiliate status. The large number of communities pursuing the highest level of the MPB is testimony to the commitment of local communities to this effort and a tribute to the support provided by the MCSC. The annual statewide Michigan's Promise Meeting is being held April30 - May 1, 2001 at the Ralph A. McMullen Conference Center in Roscommon. A planning committee ofMCSC staff, an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow and local Community of Promise representatives are putting together the agenda that includes plenary sessions, workshops, and networking.

In addition, the participants continue to receive information on opportunities to learn and serve after the YLA concludes . A variety of businesses from six career pathways are involved in this joint venture to give students a glimpse of career options that await them. Some bus inesses represented incl ude : the hospital, a computer service, a taxidermist, a video production business, tool and die, manufacturing , and more . The project will run five Monday evenings between February 5 and March 5, 2001.

Review of Executive Committee November 17, 2000 meeting Chairperson Mawby gave an overview of the Executive Committee meeting that was held on November 17, 2000 via conference call and explained that discussion on agenda items from that meeting which included staff recommendations for MCSC future goals, ConnectMichigan Alliance, Volunteer Investment Grants, Annual Performance review of Executive Director and the Agenda for December 8, 2000 would be discussed later in the meeting in more detail. 2. Review of Executive Committee Report on ConnectMichigan Alliance a. Progress to Date Mr. Caldwell stated that CMA board of directors have been appointed and a copy of the list of the board is enclosed in the meeting materials. Mr. Caldwell updated everyone by stating that the Governor has awarded a $10 million challenge grant for the CMA endowment that will have to be matched dollar for dollar by 2002. b. Articles of Incorporation/Bylaws Mr. Caldwell stated that the Articles of Incorporation have been signed and have been filed. The Capital Region Community Foundation has agreed to house the endowment and handle all the private gifts to the CMA endowment. Mr. Caldwell explained that the kick-off of the CMA campaign would take place during a short program that will be part of the MNA lOth Anniversary Celebration on December 19, 2000. All commissioners were invited to attend. Mr. Caldwell explained that immediately before the event on the 19th the CMA Campaign Leadership will come together for the first time to discuss the goals of the campaign.

On that day, the Board will elect its officers and appoint the eight at large members and put together an agenda for how this organization will come together. 3 �Mr. Singh explained how excited MNA is to be celebrating their lOth Anniversary on December 19,2000. Mr. Singh stated that at that time they will be unveiling the CMA. Mr. Singh stated there will also be entertainment with a performance by the Capitol Steps. Mr. Caldwell stated that after convening the Campaign Leadership, the next step will be to figure out how to move the CMA campaign ahead. Mr. Caldwell stated that a location for the CMA is being sought in conjunction with a new space for the MCSC. Chairperson Mawby stated that he was very impressed with how fast the CMA was moving and asked commissioners to submit names of people to be appointed to the "at large positions" on the Board of Directors of CMA. Mr. Caldwell explained that Julie Cummings, Michelle Engler, and William Richardson will serve on the Campaign Leadership and stated that a list of the of the rest of the members would be sent out before the December 19, 2000 MNA event. VI. Executive Director's Report- Kyle Caldwell Mr. Caldwell thanked the MCSC staff for all their hard work during the development of the CMA. He also gave a special thanks to Commissioner Pruitt, Mawby, and Smith for helping to make the Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Celebration a success again this year. Mr. Caldwell gave a report on Academic Service-Learning which he said is a tremendously powerful teachi·ng methodology that links students, teachers, parents and communities together through service that is comprehensively linked to the curriculum and learning objectives of a school. Mr. Caldwell described the new Learning In Deed (LID) program sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. He noted that a $13 million, five-state initiative is beginning to work now and will be expanding to over 15 states over the next three years. Michigan, unfortunately, was not one of the states chosen to participate in the LID program, but was fortunate to have the expertise and assistance of theW. K. Kellogg Foundation. The MCSC staff have created the Service in Education Resources and Vision (SERV) initiative. SERV will focus on developing effective public policy, demonstration projects, research and dissemination of lessons learned. To date, MCSC staff have secured a three-year $1.2 million grant from the Corporation for National Service (CNS) to support this initiative that will be administered in partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundation's K-12 Philanthropy in Education Project. The MCSC will bring on a coordinator sometime at the beginning of the calendar year. Commissioner Kwak stated that the W.K. Kellogg Foundation will support the SERV initiative with a grant of $212,000 over three years. Commissioner Kwak talked about some of the different programs that the W.K. Kellogg Foundation is currently supporting in the service-learning field. 4 �Commissioner Engler gave an overview of her experiences with the different service learning programs. Commissioner Engler was appointed to the National Commission of Service-Learning headed by former Senator John Glenn. Mr. Caldwell gave a overview of the MCSC Disability Plan. The CNS has awarded the MCSC a one-year $140,000 grant to coordinate, administer and support a plan to recruit more programs and individuals from the disability community and get the disability community more involved with our National Service Programs. Over the course of this year, the MCSC staff has committed to reach out to the disability community to ensure that recruitment and placement of programs and members is in accordance with all laws relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act and all other accommodations laws. Mr. Caldwell gave a special thanks to Diana Algra for helping to develop several projects and grants at the MCSC during her tenure as a loan executive from the Michigan Family Independence Agency (FIA) and also thanked Jocelyn Yanda and FIA for their continued support to the MCSC. Mr. Caldwell talked about the MCSC vision and the commission's focus on the Michigan volunteer landscape. Mr. Caldwell explained that CMA is a prime example. The CMA and the $20 million endowment that will support it, will provide valuable services and support to Michigan' s volunteers well into the future. Mr. Caldwell stated that while the MCSC works on Michigan initiatives it must also work on the national landscape. Mr. Caldwell explained that the national landscape is being focused on youth as an important target group for services as well as a body of constituents. Mr. Caldwell stated that at the last meeting of the Board of Director' s for America's Promise, it was announced that the Younger Americans Act will be re-introduced in the 2001 Congressional session. This bill will focus on America's Promise goals through legislation and appropriations much in the same way that the "Older Americans Act" did for seniors in the previous Congress. A. Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Mr. Caldwell explained that for FY 2001 , the MCSC has $194,994 in CNS funding to support 18 Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows for Michigan Communities of Promise. All current grantees were given the opportunity to renew their current fellow(s) position. In addition, other Communities of Promise were invited to apply. The application guidelines were sent to all Communities of Promise on September 15, 2000. A total of eight applications were received requesting $129,996 to support 12 fellows. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC staff conducted a staff review of all applications. Applicants were provided written feedback that included any necessary revisions . These revisions were due to the MCSC by November 3, 2000. The staff reviewed all of the revisions and made the following recommendations: The staff recommended new funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: The Alpena Volunteer Center for 1 fellow for $10,833 and Ionia County Intermediate School District for 3 fellows for $32,499 . 5 �A motion to approve the staff recommendations for the new funding was made by Commissioner Wesaw and Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. The staff recommended renewal funding at the requested amount for the following applicants: The Council of Michigan Foundations for 1 fellow for $10,833, the Eastern Upper Peninsula Community Foundation for 1 fellow for $10,833, EightCAP, Inc for 2 fellows for $21,666, Isabella County MSU Extension for 1 fellow for $10,833, Marquette & Alger Counties' Promise: The Alliance for Youth for 1 fellow for $10, 833, Pathways to Healthy Living for 2 fellows for $21,666. A motion to approve the staff recommendations for the renewal funding was made by Commissioner Wesaw and Commissioner Kwak seconded the motion. Commissioner Collier abstained from voting on the Council of Michigan Foundations request. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC still had six Promise Fellows available. Therefore, the MCSC was conducting another application process. The MCSC staff will make their funding recommendation for these Promise Fellows at the February board meeting. Mr. Caldwell explained the staff recommendation for Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants increases stating that the staff would like the ability to approve these requests when they are received rather than waiting until the next Commission or executive committee meeting. This would simply allow staff to expand the amount of the grant. Approving an increase to the grant amount would not change any terms or stipulations of the grant. The staff would only approve increase requests if funds were available and the grantee was in good standing. Also, the increa~es. would only be approved for grantees previously approved by comnusswners. The staff recommended that the Commission empower the staff to approve current and future grant increases for existing Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants. A motion to approve the staff recommendations for the increases to Michigan's Volunteer Investments Grants was made by Commissioner O'Day and Commissioner Weinstock seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of Ms . Kaiser's Program Division Director's Report and asked commissioners to review the report. Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of Ms. Grill's Outreach and Fund Development Division report. Mr. Caldwell highlighted the Governor's Service Awards nomination form which would be mailed out by Christmas and due back to the MCSC by February 9, 2001. Ms. Grill will be contacting commissioners to serve as peer reviewers. Mr. Caldwell congratulated everyone on Make A Difference Day (MDDay) in Michigan. On that day there were 84,901 volunteers participating in MDDay projects. 6 �Mr. Caldwell stated that the Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council (MYP AC) is up and running again thanks to Jill Manlove, MCSC's YES Ambassador and MCSC's youth commissioners, Kari Pardoe and Ethan Weinstock. Mr. Caldwell announced that the MCSC will be conducting a Youth Poster contest again this year. It will be unveiled at the Governor's Service Award Dinner. Mr. Caldwell explained that he is seeking sponsors for the Youth Poster contest. The cost is approximately $15,000. Mr. Caldwell introduced Camille Johnson from the Lovelight Foundation who was attending on behalf of Commissioner Cummings. Ms. Johnson explained that the Lovelight Foundation was very happy to sponsor the Youth Poster contest over the previous years and stated that the Lovelight Foundation will provide a 1: 1 match for the Youth Poster contest this year. Ms. Grill stated that in January, the 2000 Poster along with Poster Contest materials for 2001 will be mailed out to schools all across Michigan. Ms. Grill explained the need for a MCSC Marketing Strategy and that the MCSC staff realize the importance of defining its future marketing and public relations strategies based upon the new, focused direction of the MCSC. She noted that as staff begin the development of a marketing plan, they will be looking to commissioners and other friends of the MCSC who have contacts ancl/or experience in marketing to assist us with this process. B. MCSC FY 2001 Budget Mr. Caldwell explained that Mr. Gross had distributed a one-page budget report along with his written report on the Finance and Administration Division. Mr. Gross gave a brief overview of the report. VII. Old Business - Chairperson Mawby A. Staff Recommendations for Future Direction of the MCSC Chairperson Mawby directed everyone to the two-page summary on the MCSC Future Goals and asked Mr. Caldwell to explain the strategies. Mr. Caldwell stated that the "Future of MCSC" proposes that the MCSC focus its operational energies on three basic strategies. 1. MCSC will be a grantmaking entity much in the same way as would a foundation. The MCSC would invest in models and initiatives that would further the strength of the field, but would refrain from building, staffing, and internal structures to operate these initiatives. The role of the MCSC would be to provide ancl/or broker support that incubates new ideas and new models with an eye toward sustainability through support through avenues at the local, state and national level. 2. The MCSC would forge new partnerships that look as intensively within state government as outside state government. The state workforce can help to recognize and promote the existing and future volunteer efforts occurring within state agencies. 7 �3. The MCSC would study, analyze and share its learning experiences with the rest of the world to advance the knowledge of the field. The MCSC has traditionally only provided evaluation funds and support to grantees for their own purposes. This resource will continue, but the MCSC will also look to providing impact data on different volunteer initiatives as well as those it funds. Mr. Caldwell stated that this document is a sustainability plan for the work of the MCSC and it proposes changes in the operations of the MCSC, but not the mission. The MCSC would still serve as a convener, catalyst and broker for the service and volunteer sectors. The MCSC would remain dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. A motion to approve the staff recommendations for the Future Goals of the MCSC was made by Commissioner Pruitt and Commissioner Wesaw seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Pruitt suggested that Ms. Grill look to local colleges to help in putting together a marketing plan. Commissioner Pickard also expanded on the idea that local colleges might be able to offer assistance at no cost through interns. Chairperson Mawby suggested that the MCSC engage a college in developing of a marketing plan. VIII. New Business - Chairperson Mawby A. Empowering Executive Committee to Approve FY 2001 Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Application Chairperson Mawby asked Mr. Caldwell to expand on this item. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC staff respectfully requested that the members of the MCSC empower the Executive Committee to approve the FY 2001 Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Application to the Corporation for National Service (CNS). The MCSC staff also suggested that the application be shared with the entire membership prior to the next meeting of the Executive Committee to provide opportunities for comment. Finally, the MCSC staff suggested that the full body review and approve the actions of the Executive Committee at the next meeting of the full body. Mr. Caldwell explained that the CNS AmeriCorps Formula application would be due to CNS prior to the next proposed meeting of the full body, but after the next proposed meeting of the Executive Committee. Approval of the MCSC Members for CNS subgrant funding application is a requirement of the provisions for CNS funding . However, CNS does not provide guidelines on grant application due dates until well after the MCSC has set its meeting dates. A motion to approve the staff recommendations to empower the Executive Committee with funding approval was made by Commissioner Wesaw and Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. 8 �• B. Process for Annual Performance Review of Executive Director Commissioner Pruitt explained that an annual performance review of the executive director is due. Commissioner Pruitt explained that he and Mary Estrada will be working together to get the review form out to all commissioners and asked that they return the review form to him. C. Legislative Breakfast Chairperson Mawby suggested that since the MCSC has held a Legislative Breakfast in the past with much success, the MCSC should hold another one because of all the new faces in the legislature and it is a good way for the legislators to get to know the MCSC. Commissioner Pruitt stated that the MCSC should pair legislators with some of their home constituents-possibly an AmeriCorps member or a MCSC grantee so that they understand what activities are happening in their communities. This would give them a reason to be at the breakfast. Commissioner Pruitt also suggested that the MCSC hand each legislator a brochure on the MCSC which would explain "who we are" and MCSC' s funding. Commissioner Aldridge stated that MCSC needs to personalize the event which will make it important for legislators to attend on behalf of their communities and seek sponsorships to help with financial cost to get people there. Commissioner Pruitt suggested not having the event on a Monday or Friday. Ms. Schultheiss stated that several of the VCM members stated that the travel time involved to come to the Legislative Breakfast for an hour or two was too costly and maybe the Legislative Breakfast could be held in conjunction with another event immediately following the Breakfast. Commissioner Aldridge asked if the Legislative Breakfast could be a reception during the Grantmakers/Grantseekers and Governor' s Service Award event. Commissioner Pruitt stated that it is very important to keep in touch with the legislators. D. Approval of 2000-2001 Meeting Dates Chairperson Mawby asked commissioners to look over the dates for 2001 commission meetings. Chairperson Mawby announced one change for the Executive Committee meetings. The April 6, 2001 meeting has been changed to April 20, 2001. A motion to approve the MCSC 2001 meeting dates was made by Commissioner Collier and Commissioner Engler seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. VII. Public Comment Chairperson Mawby gave a special thank you to Diana Algra and gave her a special award for her commitment and dedication to the MCSC. Chairperson Mawby asked for public comment from all attendees. Several attendees offered personal comments. 9 �• Commissioner Wesaw made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Pickard seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 2:35p.m. The next meeting will be February 9, 2001 at the George W. Romney Building, Lansing, Michigan. 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
