Governor John Engler said he has asked state agencies to quicken their planning on how to allocate the money, which is being distributed earlier than expected. Most of the money will be used for the state's new college scholarship program rewarding students who do well on the MEAP test, with lesser amounts going to health and aging research and elder and long-term care programs. "This is a perfect holiday gift to the taxpayers of Michigan," Mr. Engler said. In addition to the initial payment, the state will receive $33 million on January 10, 2000 and the rest of the first year's allotment of $152 million on April 15, 2000. The governor said the earlier receipt of the funds permits the state to implement and enhance a variety of programs. For instance, the Office of Services to the Aging will use $5 million expand its senior respite care program, which now gets $3 million, to provide assistance to persons caring for the elderly. Lynn Alexander, director of the office, said the program served 1,420 persons with adult day care services and over 5,300 persons with in-home respite care. She said 85 percent of all home care is provided by family members or friends and the state program provides much needed relief. The health/aging research, in a program dubbed the Life Sciences Corridor, will get $50 million a year for 20 years. It will support research by the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University and the VanAndel Institute in Grand Rapids as well as attempt to encourage development of life science technology companies. The Michigan Economic Development Corporation, which is conducting a search for a managing director of the program, will complete development of guidelines for the program in January and the governor will appoint a 14-member steering committee at about the same time. The scholarship program will benefit from funds placed in a trust account. State officials expect 20,000 high school students will get the $2,500 scholarship next fall. Other uses of the money include $75 million for career development activities geared toward meeting future workforce needs; $30 million for the senior drug prescription program; $10 million for long-term care innovation grants; and interest on the portions not deposited in the scholarship trust fund will go to the Council of Michigan Foundations for programs focused on youth and senior health needs. c 1999, Gongwer News Service, Inc.

Welcome and Introduction The meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. by Chairperson Engler. Chairperson Engler welcomed everyone to the meeting including our six new commission members (Barfield, Honaker, O'Day, Pardoe, Pickard, Weinstock) and our guests from out of state (Hickerson and Young). Chairperson Engler applauded the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staff for their continued hard work and commitment to the MCSC. II. Review of April 9, 1999 Minutes Commissioner Pruitt moved to approve the April 9, 1999 minutes. Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion and the minutes were approved. Motion passed unanimous! y. III. Reports by Department from MCSC staff. A. Programming - Kyle Caldwell 1. Michigan's AmeriCorps a. All Member Celebration Mr. Caldwell explained that the AmeriCorps staff, headed by Beth Barney, will bring together 300 national service members in Michigan for a celebration and swearing-in ceremony on October 29, 1999 at the Michigan State University Student Union. All commissioners are welcome to attend this event. b. Renewal Process (approval item) Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is redesigning the grant renewal process for Michigan's AmeriCorps. These modifications are designed to stress the importance of building sustainability within a program's design. The wording in future applications will clearly state that successful applicants will be required to increase their match level every year over the course of three years. In addition, the applications will suggest that no program be funded as a fully funded AmeriCorps program beyond six years. Mr. Caldwell stated that staff will have the wording for the renewal process to the MCSC by the November meeting. 2. America's/Michigan's Promise- AmeriCorps Promise Fellows (approval item) Ms. Kaiser stated that this year the MCSC had thirteen fellows in seven communities. The MCSC reapplied to the Corporation for National Service (CNS) for thirteen fellows for the 1999 year and was funded for thirteen fellows. Ms. Kaiser explained the chart which was handed out at the meeting which stated the number of applicants, number of fellows they are requesting (which is identical to what they were funded for last year), the amount of the request and the staff recommendations. All applicants were recommended for provisional funding at their requested level. They were: 2 �1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Capital Area Community of Promise for 2 fellows for $22,300. Isabella County Community of Promise for 1 fellow for $11 ,150. Delta County Community of Promise for 1 fellow for· $11 ,150. Marquette & Alger Counties' Promise for 1 fellow for $11,150. Chippewa County Community of Promise for 1 fellow for $11 ,150 Grand Rapids Community of Promise for 5 fellows for $55,750. Montcalm County Community of Promise for 2 fellows for $22,300. Commissioner Orosz asked if the MCSC conducts site visits and Commissioner Cummings asked for a definition of AmeriCorps members and Promise fellows. Ms. Kaiser explained that the MCSC does do site visits and gave a brief overview of AmeriCorps member and Promise Fellows programs. Commissioner Williams moved to approve staff recommendations for provisional funding for the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows and Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion. Motion was passed unanimously with Commissioner Brandell abstaining from voting on the Isabella County funding . 3. Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG)(approval item) Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of the Volunteer Investment Grants program. Mr. Caldwell explain that the MCSC has made progress, but has also had to face some significant challenges. One challenge has been that the MCSC has yet to disburse the full $1 million state appropriations within the 12 months of the fiscal year. The MCSC has been able to secure clarification on our ability to carry-over VIG funds from one fiscal year to another. For FY 2000, the MCSC may carry over any unspent VIG funds from FY 1999. The estimated amount is $100,000 based on current unencumbered levels and the past history with the program. Mr. Caldwell noted that with the current program structure, this carry over amount will likely be a constant. Mr. Caldwell noted that this is a dangerous set of circumstances if we are to prove the work of the program to the Legislature. Last year, the MCSC modified the VIG match requirement and the grant amounts. This modification provided a substantial amount of flexibility to grantees and applicants. However, Mr. Caldwell noted applicants are still unable to develop the capacity to effectively meet the fund raising goals of the grant. The MCSC has no problem granting out $850,000 a year, but will still have money to carry over. The staff recommended the following: a. Carry over state funds (which we can do with VIG). b. Set aside $100,000 a year for demonstration grants. These grants would still go out into the community and be leveraged towards endowments, but would also be used to build the capacity of local communities so that they would be able to apply for a VIG grant the next year. The MCSC staff also recommended that the MCSC re-examine this funding stream in one year and assess whether the process and outcomes were desirable. 3 �For FY 2000, the MCSC staff recommended targeting volunteer centers and higher education institutions. Staff further recommended that the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) and the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) be the grantees for the FY 2000 demonstration grants. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Demonstration Grants would be granted as follows: $50,000 to Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) and $50,000 to Michigan Campus Compact (MCC). Commissioner Pruitt moved to approve the staff recommendations and was supported by Commissioner McCarthy. The motion passed unanimously . Mr. Singh explained that the Michigan Nonprofit Association (.MNA) really does not benefit by VCM and MCC receiving these grants. The .MNA will not receive any administrative money and will serve as a pass through for the grants to VCM and MCC. The grants will help VCM and MCC to build the fund raising capacity of their member organizations. 4. Learn and SERVE Community-based Grants Mr. Caldwell asked everyone to look at the funding chart in the meeting materials which lists the second round grantees for Learn and SERVE dollars which were pre-approved at the last meeting. Mr. Caldwell explained that there is an overlap of Learn and SERVE dollars and Communities of Promise dollars which is represented in this chart. 5. Training and Technical Assistance Mr. Caldwell noted the memo from Phil Chvojka and informed commissioners that Mr. Chvojka left the MCSC for a promotion with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. Mr. Caldwell stated that the staff held a training which was facilitated by the National Service Leadership Institute (NSLI). The training was a huge success and the participants asked that the MCSC bring back the NSLI for the next level of leadership training. Next year staff will bring the NSLI back to do the next level of leadership training. The NSLI training is free and this program is helping the MCSC to build new leaders in the field of service and volunteerism. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC is fortunate to have Diana Algra, a loaned executive from the Family Independence Agency, to help the MCSC in the technical assistance and training area and that it was through her work that the MCSC was able to secure the NSLI. B. Outreach & Fund Development 1. Make A Difference Day Ms. Lange announced that Make A Difference Day (MDDay) would be October 23, 1999. Ms. Lange informed the MCSC that the MCSC has three new partners for a total of seven partners who help promote MDDay. They are Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, United Way of Michigan, Council of Michigan Foundations, Family 4 �Independence Agency, and Michigan State University Extension. All of the Michigan partners are committed to promoting MDDay and have signed a partner agreement that details these commitments. MDDay is being promoted as a day when the spirit of volunteerism can be rallied into a yearround commitment to volunteering. The staff was in the process of collecting project entry forms and sending out press releases on MDDay. The staff was sending out weekly updates which the commissioners should be receiving via fax. The updates included information about different projects and a weekly total of the number of projects. The MCSC staff expected more than 75,000 Michiganians to participate in more than 500 projects. USA Weekend magazine will highlight Michigan's First Family in a MDDay ad on October 10, 1999. This magazine will be distributed nation wide. Ms. Lange informed commissioners that if they were interested in participating in projects in their area, they should call the MCSC or their local volunteer centers to fmd out if projects exists in their communities so that each commissioner can participate in projects locally. Commissioner Cummings suggested that Ms. Lange assign each commissioner to a specific project as an ambassador for the MCSC and commissioners agreed. Ms. Lange announced that the MCSC website was up and running and that each commissioner should visit the site at www.state.mi.us./career/mcsc to review all current MCSC initiatives. 2. Volunteerism SuperConference Ms. Lange informed the MCSC that the next Volunteerism SuperConference will be held on May 18 & 19, 2000 at the Lansing Center in Lansing. Ms. Lange stated that Kyle Caldwell and Kathy Rossow are the co-chairs. Mr. Caldwell stated that he and Kathy Rossow have nominated Joel Orosz as the honorary chair for the SuperConference. The call for presenters forms for the SuperConference had been sent out and were due back by October 8, 1999. The MCSC goal will be to encourage grantees and programs to become presenters. Ms. Lange announced that the Governor's Service Awards will be May 18, 2000 with a reception at 5:30p.m. and dinner at 7:00p.m. Ms. Lange stated that there will be workshops on MDDay and ConncectMichigan along with a ConnectMichigan reception. Chairperson Engler stated that she hoped that all commissioners would attend the Governor's Service Awards program because it is one of the most uplifting events of the year. Ms. Lange stated that Governor's Service Awards nomination forms will go out in late November or early December. There will be a peer review in early Spring to choose the five finalist in each category with the winner in each category being announced at the dinner on May 18, 2000. 5 �3. ConnectMichigan Ms. Lange stated that the ConnectMichigan campaign was in full swing. Ms. Lange showed the commissioners the ConnectMichigan ad that ran free of charge, in the Buick Open magazine. Ms. Lange stated that Consumer's Energy, through their Michigan's Promise commitment, will be including on their customers bill in November, a statement promoting volunteerism and encouraging customers to connect through the ConnectMichigan campaign 1-800 number. Ms. Lange gave a special thank you to Commissioner Cummings for the new commissioner/staff sweatshirts and bags with the ConnectMichigan logo. Chairperson Engler thanked Commissioner Cummings for all her hard work and dedication on the ConnectMichigan campaign. 4. Poster Contest Ms. Lange said thank you also to Commissioner Cummings for sponsoring the new ConnectMichigan Youth Poster Contest. This poster will be geared around youth connecting through service. The unveiling of this poster will be held at the Governor's Service Awards dinner in May. Commissioner Orosz commended the MCSC staff for the awesome job done on the MCSC annual report. Commissioner Pickard asked if the MCSC could make a list of items that commissioners could do to help the MCSC on MD Day. Ms. Lange agreed to put together a list and send it to commissioners. C. Finance & Administration 1. Budget FY 2000 Projections Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of Mr. Gross' report which included an attached comparative fmancial statement for the third quarter of fiscal year 1999. Mr. Caldwell explained that there was a sizable amount of funds left in state and federal accounts, however, when the unobligated grants are removed from the total, it leaves around $150,000 in each fund which the MCSC should end up spending by the end of FY 1999. 2. Grants Monitoring - Site Visits Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC used an outside contractor to do fiscal site visits to the MCSC grantees. As Mr. Gross explained in his memo to the commissioners, the process is working well with good feedback from our grantees and based upon the feedback for the individual programs from the contractor, the MCSC will be requesting a corrective action plan to address any outstanding issues. 3. Michigan Auditor General - On Site Audit Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC just went through its fust state audit and the report back was that the MCSC received a clean audit. 6 �Mr. Caldwell explained that the CNS audit had some issues regarding federal regulations and policies which the MCSC will be working directly with CNS to change. 4. Tobacco Settlement Funds Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC has been designated by the Governor's Office and the Legislature to be the stewards of a portion of the tobacco settlement funds. Mr. Caldwell explained that the legislature appropriated a percentage of the interest earned on the tobacco settlement money, not used for the MERIT scholarships, to go to community foundations to fund health programs for youth, adults and seniors. The MCSC will receive and sub-grant the funds to the Council of Michigan Foundations who will then sub-grant these funds to local communities based upon an allocation system. The estimated amount of the tobacco funds that the MCSC will steward is $2.5 million in May, 2001 and in excess of $7 million in April of 2000. The amount of the yearly appropriation will drop a certain percentage each year thereafter and it is anticipated that this funding will continue for 10 to 20 years. IV. Standing Committee Reports A. Executive Committee Chairperson Engler asked commissioners to look at the "Summary of 8113/99 meeting" memo from Kyle Caldwell which covered the meeting held on 8/13/99. Chairperson Engler asked commissioners to please note that the ConnectMichigan Legislative Breakfast is scheduled for April 13, 2000 and asked that all commissioners attend. Commissioner Pruitt explained that there needs to be a formal evaluation of the Executive Director of the MCSC. Commissioner Pruitt stated that the evaluation form will be sent to all commissioners and asked that they fill out the form and mail it directly back to Commissioner Pruitt. B. Board Development Committee 1. Recommendation (approval item) Commissioner Johnson stated that the committee has been working hard and that the committee recommends the following appointments to the MCSC and that they be forwarded to the Governor.

Commissioner Johnson stated that Commissioner Dunn had asked to not be reappointed. Commissioner Orosz moved to approve the committee recommendations and Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Johnson welcomed the new commissioners. 7 �2. V. Commissioner Johnson stated that the MCSC recommends that Governor John Engler and members of the Michigan Legislature allow modification P A219 of 1994 to ensure that Commissioners of the MCSC may not serve more than three (3), three-year terms consecutively beginning with those whose terms would expire in 2000 with the exception of past and current serving chairpersons. Commissioner Williams made a motion to approve and Commissioner Brandell seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Executive Director's Report Mr. Caldwell gave an overview of his report. Mr. Caldwell explained that the MCSC staff have been working with current and past Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees on sustainability. Based on this dialogue, the staff will incorporate the new language in the next Michigan's AmeriCorps RFP. This language does not state any new policy. It merely reaffirms what was said at the inception of the Michigan ' s AmeriCorps program and prepares grantees for any potential changes considered in the future. Mr. Caldwell explained that staff and partners are taking service-learning to the next level. On May 4, 1999 the Council of Michigan Foundations, K-12 in Education Philanthropy Project, Michigan Department of Education and the MCSC hosted a meeting to further develop and craft a comprehensive vision for service-learning in Michigan. From this meeting came several recommendations and the MCSC is requesting support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for a full-time service-learning coordinator who will be responsible for advancing service-learning on the policy and research fronts. Mr. Caldwell explained that the U.S . Inspector General is conducting audits of state commissions. The first round appear to have been targeted at small states. The MCSC has begun an intensive review of all administrative and programmatic systems in case our state is selected as one of the states to be reviewed. Since staff have just completed the state audit without major concerns, Mr. Caldwell stated that he anticipated no major issues at this time. The MCSC staff is also preparing for a quality standards review that is being tested by the Corporation for National Service. The review is intended to give state commissions a certified rating by the CNS and other commission staff much like the North Central Evaluation accreditation that educational institutions seek in the education arena. State commissions that become accredited through these standards would be given certain waivers including the ability to submit a state funding plan every three years instead of annually. The MCSC staff were eager to become accredited, but had serious reservations on how the evaluation process is taking shape and appreciated the advice and direction from Commissioner Orosz in the memo included in the MCSC packet. Mr. Caldwell did inform the MCSC that ten commissions participated in the beta testing and not one commission had yet passed. Commissioner Orosz explained to the commissioners that the review had serious issues and makes it impossible to pass. Mr. Caldwell said he would keep the commissioners apprised of any developments. Mr. Caldwell announced the return of the Points of Light Foundation Youth Engaged in Service Ambassador program to the MCSC. The MCSC will have the opportunity to more effectively address the leadership, needs and concerns of Michigan's youth and give the youth advisory council (MYP AC) a single and dedicated point of focus and support. Jill Manlove began her term with the MCSC on September 13, 1999. Jill was from Minnesota where she just finished a year-long commitment with the Lutheran Volunteer Corps at the Saint Paul, Minnesota Volunteer Center. 8 �Mr. Caldwell announced that the Director of Programs position has been filled and that Paula Kaiser began work September 7, 1999. The staff were thrilled to have Paula Kaiser back at the MCSC. Mr: Caldwell restated that the MCSC T &T A Coordinator, Phil Chvojka, left the MCSC to take a new position in state government. The MCSC was in the process of filling the position and a special thank you to Diana Algra who would be filling in for this position along with her other duties under the CNIC program. Mr. Caldwell stated that the CNS requires the MCSC to put together a long-term and comprehensive vision and action plan for service and volunteerism in Michigan. Mr. Caldwell stated that the MCSC and its partners have completed the first draft of the Unified State Service Plan and are now taking the Unified State Service Plan to the next level. The MCSC staff have convened a number of meetings of the partners and secured a facilitator to begin crafting this new vision on service. The result will be a comprehensive, yet flexible vision and action plan. A draft of the plan is articulated in the memo dated August 23, 1999. To finalize and codify the plan, the partnership has developed a dissemination plan that involves focus groups and questionnaires to assess the opinions of the field. As a final and concrete demonstration of the field's commitment to the plan, the partners will host a public endorsement ceremony at the biennial Volunteerism SuperConference May 18-19,2000. Mr. Caldwell stated that on October 3 & 4, 1999, Frank Dirks would hold a meeting called "Beyond 2000" at the Holiday Inn West in Lansing. This meeting will bring state executive directors and chairs together to dialog on volunteerism and service beyond 2000 and put together a white paper that will be sent out to anyone interested in what national service policies should look like for the next presidential administration. Several members from the MCSC would attend this meeting and will keep the commissioners informed as to its progress. Mr. Caldwell explained to the commissioners that after talking with each commissioner and getting feedback on what they want from the MCSC and from the field of service, he hopes that the retreat fulfills their wishes . VI. New Business A. Michigan Alliance for Volunteers Proposal Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Singh explained the Alliance proposal a mutual initiative between the MCSC and the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA). The following is a more detailed explanation of the dialogue. How do we sustain volunteerism in Michigan? "Right now we know we have a huge statewide infrastructure. Many of these multiple layers of partnerships started in 1989 and included Commissioner Orosz, Chairperson Engler, Commissioner Johnson and others. Some of the partners were Council of Michigan Foundation (CMF), Family Independence Agency (FIA), Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), United Ways of Michigan, and the list keeps going. We have this infrastructure, these layers of partnerships, but each one of those comes with new initiatives. There's always something new that we need to take on. For the first time ever, there exist 9 �concerted efforts toward collaboration. And for the first time over the past couple of years, a collaboration of projects like the Volunteerism SuperConference, America's Promise, Unified State Service Plan, ConnectMichigan Campaign, Make A Difference Day, and training and technical assistance which we are using MNA, MCC and VCM to assist us. This is the first time ever for this concerted effort toward collaboration. So the question is "{Isn't}This all good?" Yes, but there is one fundamental problem down the road. MNA and affiliates and MCSC do similar things like training, technical assistance, volunteer awareness and statewide convening of the field. We are not doing it now, but we have the potential to start competing among our organizations. To build any kind of stability, MNA and affiliates need stability in administrative and physical housing (MCSC has had lived "free rent" because the Governor's Office has been kind enough to give us space and MNA is housed within the system at Michigan State University "rent free" or almost "rent free") to establish independence and visibility (We need to know what the commission is, what its involved with and how and same goes for MNA. People need to know what it is, how and where it is housed.), to stabilize their funding base (As we pointed out to you, we have decreased by 10% in our federal dependence, we have a 12% increase in state funds so that MCSC is really beginning to diversify, but that 10% still pales in comparison to the fact that we still have 74% of our funding coming from federal sources. MNA, MCC and VCM are dependent on membership fees and as incubator level organizations those fees are still not at a level great enough to sustain all these organizations/programs), and to demonstrate a unified voice for volunteerism." So how do we do this? "MCSC needs to prepare for a transition in leadership, create a more permanent physical and administrative home, diversity its funding beyond state and federal funds, establish security for programs, initiatives and infrastructure (A. Strengthen? our house- right now America's Promise exists because we decided to take it on. ConnectMichigan exists because we decided to take it on with our partners. But there is nothing there to keep it there. There' s no "there" there.) to be able to advocate without giving up federal and state support that bans advocacy.(right not we can not lobby as an organization.) So what do we do? Well we dance or quietly suggest people to write letters to so and so but you didn't hear it from us. We need to begin to build that kind of support in a way that does not jeopardize our funding ." "The field has to avoid competition for scarce resources, establish more permanent and stable financial resources, capitalize on the strengths and resources of other like organizations and raise the level of awareness and value around service and volunteerism." "The solution is to create an organization called the Alliance to centralize state-level volunteer programming. promotion. and support. To look for long-term sustainability solutions around service and volunteerism. To capitalize on the overwhelming support of all constituencies." "An Alliance- to bring together statewide volunteer organizations in a meaningful partnership; centralize current services, resources and administration; build a stabilized fund in the form of an endowment to support the organization and activities; insulate the work of volunteers from changing political and economic 10 �tides. Economic changes, political atmosphere changes and what we are finding especially with AmeriCorps is that very good people get caught in the middle of something that has nothing to do with the work they are doing. It' s all politics!" Structure "Build a $20 million endowment to generate $850,000 annually for operation funds. That endowment would be a 50/50 mix of state and private funds that would {include} a one-time ask to the state legislator and a match in local dollars of $10 million in private funds. The funds would be housed in a community foundation - Capital Area Community Foundation is one we suggest. The Alliance would be guided by a 5-7 Member Board of Directors made up of representatives from MNA associates and MCSC commissioners and would appoint an Executive Director and that person would bring on additional staff as needed." Function "The Alliance would physically house the MCSC, VCM, MCC and MNA. The MCSC and MNA would bring together a number of initiatives like the Romney Fund, ConnectMichigan, National Volunteer Week, Volunteerism SuperConference, Make A Difference Day, MCC Member Services and Support, MCC Grant Programs, K-12 Service Learning, Governor's Service Awards, Adopt-A-Part of Michigan, America' s Promise. All those things that MCSC are extra programs and outreach activities would be housed here, but they would be housed in a partnership with the MCSC and affiliates of MNA. " Steps - Mr. Caldwell reviewed the next steps in the process. Phase I ----June 1999- October 1999: To gain board and constituent approval. September 1999- November 1999: Formal proposals to boards and the Governor's Office and t,he Legislators. October 1999- January 2000: To officially decide whether to proceed. At the next Commission meeting commissioners will get a formal proposal from staff asking for approval. Phase 2 December 1999 - February 2000: Determine how are we going to build support in the Legislature. Who do we approach and how? February 2000- April 2000: Secure legislation to support Alliance in the form of a bill. The legislative breakfast will be during this time and provide an excellent mechanism for support gathering .. March 2000- May 2000: Secure legal counsel to help craft the by-laws. {This should happen earlier, but this is the deadline.} May 2000 - July 2000: Unveil all plans-hopefully at the SuperConference. 11 �Phase 3 Phase 3 will be the "How to side" that Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Singh are not yet prepared to unveil until the MCSC commissioners and the MNA board are confident about the Alliance. Mr. Singh explained that the Alliance would allow for both entities (MCSC and MNA) to remain antonym organizations. There will be a governmental component to volunteerism and service that will still be under the Executive Branch and working through the MCSC. MNA will remain a separate 501(c)3. There will not be a connection between those two entities. But the two afflliates organizations MCC and VCM and all the day-to-day extra programming and outreach functions of the MCSC that is geared around volunteerism will all be housed in this new entity. This will allow a group like MNA, who at times is an advocacy organization, to function. Mr. Singh posited that this would allow both MNA and MCSC to funnel all those initiatives through one area instead of both organizations doing them separately. Why is MNA interested? Mr. Singh stated that over the last five years two organizations: MCC and VCM have affiliated themselves with MNA. "Part of MNA's mission beyond helping to enhance nonprofit organizations and advocate on behalf of nonprofits has been to increase and expand volunteer philanthropy. Those have been critical missions for MNA. MNA affiliated with these two organizations to help meet that part of the mission, but also to administratively save those two organizations. MNA supports MCC's and VCM's accounting and all their administrative functions. Therefore, the Alliance will not only remove some administrative issues that MNA has been providing for VCM and MCC, but MNA feels it has met its mission even better because MNA helped to make VCM and MCC live on forever regardless whether MNA is hit financial/or is no longer an organization. The MNA board had a lot of dialogue regarding the Alliance because MNA will be giving up a lot of programming, but the board realized that MNA will still be meeting their mission and MNA does not always have to be the group that runs MCC and VCM. The MNA board was willing to step back and take a look at the fact they might have to lose something, but in the long run the field as well as the organizations will gain. And so the MNA board is still in the process of debating and dialog around whether this is the right thing to do." Mr. Caldwell stated that for MCSC the Alliance gives two things. One, it gives MCSC a nonprofit arm to do things MCSC can't do in state government. And two, the Alliance provides an endowment to stabilize those special events or special initiatives that are currently subsides through state and federal dollars. The Alliance insulates MCSC from the political changes that are inherent in the MCSC's type of work (example: Should we received a less than supportive governor, who makes less than favorable appointments, who buries our organization well deep into the bureaucracy, the Alliance can function a lot of the things MCSC does in support of the field. Mr. Singh said that in information passed out to commissioners, there is a section that outlines the programs and functions of MCSC and the functions of MNA and a section describing the functions of the Alliance. Called, "Programs and Services". 12 �Mr. Singh explained the model first by addressing the structure. "Each has a board of directors. Those boards of directors will then create this new venture which we are calling the "Alliance". Mr. Singh said that the Alliance will incorporate into its own group, its own 50l (c)3, then actually hire a CEO. "This allows for the possibility that in some future administrations the MCSC is ever eliminated the Alliance will still exist. If the MNA goes through some difficult time and no longer exists, then the Alliance will still exist." Mr. Singh said, "Not many models that look like this exist in the nonprofit community and we have not been able to find a single model between government and nonprofit community." Mr. Singh said that he and others know it can be done legally, but no one has ever made that attempt. Therefore, one of most exciting parts of this is that it is on the cutting edge models for strategic alliances. "I think one of the things we might be able to pull out of this, if it works, is the model between government and nonprofit community." "Mr. Singh said that if we go forward, we should hire someone to watch the process. This could be a case study that takes a look at government programming and how do we privatize some of that government programming and make sure that it exists beyond the administrations, beyond politics. Mr. Singh noted that this was the model that he and Mr. Caldwell took a look at from some of the better thinking around the lines of strategic alliances. Mr. Caldwell explained the historical perspective and the influence an alliance might have. "This model works because in the past we have always been thinking that both of us must exist and one doesn' t. But now we can both exist to continue our missions. Now we will have created a venture that we both can incorporate together," he said Questions and Answers Chairperson Engler asked, "Why approval from the Legislators?" Mr. Caldwell explained that MCSC is asking for $10 million in state funds. The subcommittee and the Senate is chaired by the two co-sponsors of HB5280, Senators Emerson and Johnson. They would be key in getting the Alliance started. On the House side, the MCSC has a number of supporters who have influence with certain legislators that might be key in making the Alliance happen. Mr. Caldwell mentioned legislators are term limited and the MCSC knows that Michigan is corning into another election and will have a lot of seats turnover, we are in that critical time to make this proposal to key legislators. Commissioner Begg asked about the Legislative Breakfast. Mr. Caldwell explained that the ConnectMichigan Legislative Breakfast is a legislative outreach by the field to the legislators. It is not a MCSC hosted event, but it is a broader outreach to the legislators. The last breakfast was a thank you to the legislators for the Volunteer Investment Grant program and also a way of building their awareness around what the whole field looks like. Commissioner Begg asked if we got a positive response. Mr. Caldwell stated we did get good response since we did not have definite focus to the program. The 2000 event will be very focused. Chairperson Engler asked if we will miss the budget cycle for this year (FY 2000). Mr. Caldwell stated that was correct. Mr. Caldwell stated that there may be a couple of approaches including working with the Governor's Office to get some seed money . Commissioner Barfield asked what the income split would be between MNA and MCSC. Mr. Caldwell stated that the entire proceeds from the endowment ($850,000) would go directly to the Alliance. Commissioner Newport stated that would this allow both organizations to become more focused and more efficient. 13 �Mr. Caldwell stated that the Alliance will allow the MCSC to return to more of a grant making entity that focuses on operating and stewarding federal and state dollars and less programming. Therefore, special initiatives that the MCSC does now the MCSC may still do, but the idea also will be to spin them off if valuable or terminate them if not. Any spin off will go to the Alliance. In addition, the basic role for MCSC as far as policy body will remain the same. The staffing for any spin off special initiatives will come out of MCSC and into the Alliance. The MCSC will still be able to have a grant making organizations cut a grant to the Alliance to do an initiative. The MCSC is currently doing everything with programs. The MCSC will still seek funding for a lot of these programs and try to help the Alliance fmd funding for these initiatives but they will still be operated by the Alliance rather than MCSC, Mr. Caldwell said. Mr. Caldwell readdressed Commissioner Barfield explaining that MCSC is going to the legislatures for $10 million and going to the private sector for $10 million that $20 million will go into an endowment designated strictly for the Alliance even though the board will represent a large group of organizations, the Alliance will be its own separate 501(c)3. The 5% pay out from that endowment will be the $850,000 that will go to the staffing, housing, overhead cost, some programs and some subgranting that will be done by the Alliance itself for the benefit of the Alliance. There is no income that will go to either MCSC or MNA. Each organization will have its own budget. Commissioner Muir asked, "Since we are creating a kind of a General Motors of Volunteerism, is that how you see it?'' Laughter.. ..... ... Mr. Caldwell replied, "where as you have this large oversight body that really controls those spin off organizations we were really uncomfortable with that so what we wanted to do was spin something off that had its own independence but that had fair representation from us. In other words our board would represent that board. It is not that MNA and MCSC are merging and then spinning off these things together and we are going to be all controlling over them. That's not the case. This really is truly a spin off, independent arm for both organizations to use." Commissioner Weinstock asked, "Beside working and taking some of the work to these organizations, would it also work as a liaison between the two making sure you are focusing on the same goal and not reiterating the same wheel?" Mr. Caldwell said "yes and that's the important part when talking about Phase ill and Phase II. What we decide to put into this organization and how we decide to bring all these things together like the by-laws and other rules on how we will operate it is important." Commissioner Brandell commented that she sees it as a big benefit for constituents and volunteers. "Our whole operation is very confusing to those who just want to volunteer. This would make all of our work so much easier because it so hard to explain to people who aren' t in this loop as to who we are. It would be so beneficial to our people out in the trenches--people that we are trying to recruit." Commissioner Orosz asked a question about the finances- "$10 million from state $10 million for endowment from private sector and I do not see anything in there for capital cost for buying or renovating space for this as you both mentioned, both of you are also on the edge of eviction. Is there an additional amount on top of that $20 million then for capture space? 14 �Mr. Caldwell stated that, "the $10 million from the legislature and $10 million from private funds to go into the endowment and the $850,000 represents some rent as opposed to purchase." Mr. Singh stated that in regard to MNA, there might be a third component, a capitol component added on. For example, if the legislature is very willing along with the Governor to support this part of the endowment, the private sector might give more dollars. We might want to do a feasibility study and find that we can incorporate more into the campaign. "I think right now its just the concept we have not had the opportunity to consult with the typical capital campaign consultants and the endowment builders to see what the feasibility is of the private side, once we see that there is a larger potential out there for this, then we would like to probably build in some dollars for the capital campaign portion." Commissioner Orosz asked "Where would the Alliance go then if MNA stays at the Kellogg Center and MCSC stays at Romney building?" Mr. Caldwell stated that the important thing is that if we build this nonprofit structure, "we as the MCSC can put into our budget the line item for space which we have never done before, and we could pay and contract out to the Alliance to do that and so essentially it becomes another layer. The structure that we put out with that $850,000 is some rent cost. All organizations can pay rent to the Alliance and physically get space and live there. And that the whole idea to use it as foil." Mr. Caldwell added that MCSC has requested that the legislature increase its appropriations by $100,000 for space and other costs. Commissioner Johnson stated that, "We should talk about vision and maybe call it , The Engler House." Commissioner Johnson stated, in terms of whether there will be or will not be federal funds , she is on the Corporation for National Service Board that met two weeks ago and are working real hard towards their appropriations and she has no doubt that they will get." But who' s to know with the changing of administration, so I think we have to base this on what' s happening in our state and not the fact that we don ' t know about how much federal dollars there will be. Secondly, as we talk in the Executive Committee about the private sector support of this $10 million, realistically, foundations do not like to support endowments. But what we are going to be trading on here is the Engler' s commitment to volunteerism and good will and the fact that every one in the world love' s them. So {laughing} it will be very different, but that' s not to say we couldn't raise this money in fast order if it's their priority -their legacy." Commissioner Johnson applauded both Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Singh for their creativity. Commissioner Begg asked about the MNA board' s perspective. Mr. Singh stated the MNA Board supports the concept as does the VCM's and MCC's leadership. They want MNA to get to the point when in December, they may have some more details before they move forward and know that there will be a number of opportunities for partners to stop this process, "for all of us" Mr. Singh said. If the $10 million from the legislature doesn' t come through then we would have to really rethink this concept. And so that might be a stopping point right there. There might be a stopping point later in the process. We know that this is going to be a multiple month process just to go to the legislators. But then also when the dollars are available it's a year after we have created the endowment before we are going to see any return on that investment. So we know that it' s going to be multiple points where we can all as a team corning together, stop the process or move the process even faster." Mr. Singh also noted that the MNA board likes the concept and wants to move forward. 15 �Commissioner Begg asked, "Are we creating this endowment and revenue in support of the two organizations or are we creating them for more organizations? If that's what's happening then we still have a problem-the two organizations still need to meet the overhead somehow--where's that going to come from?" Mr. Caldwell stated that the idea behind the Alliance is not to address specifically, the MCSC financial stability and its existence. The Alliance is to support the good things that we do. Therefore, what we have begun, rather than going for an endowment for the MCSC or going for an endowment for MNA and it's affiliates, were are going for an endowment for this third entity which will exist whether MCSC or MNA are successful. Mr. George Young stated that what he has heard is a real plan with tremendous promise and Florida is trying to do the same thing. He stated that he sees only one potential problem in the plan. "It has to do with the history of local volunteer organizations. To what extent will they buy in to what appears to be strong centralized control? Florida's volunteer centers (which there a lot of) are strongly supported locally and not sure how they would buy into that concept. I see nothing else in the plan that won't work. It is a brilliant sustainability program. Mr. Young said, "Florida's is talking right now about buying or building a facility and leasing and subleasing to various types of organizations using the same precise principles that were articulated. I am not sure where the Corporation funding is and nobody really knows." Mr. Young thinks Michigan will be okay in the future because of what MCSC and MNA are creating. Commissioner McCarthy asked for more clarity on the concept. She stated that MNA will primarily focus on their advocacy and training role and move all volunteer functions to the Alliance. The MCSC will be a funnel for state and federal funds available in terms of grant money, will review grant applications, and award the dollars. "What about T &T A?" Mr. Caldwell stated MCSC, as receivers of Corporation dollars called PDAT (which are training money) traditionally, subgrant the money out to MNA or VCM to do regional trainings for MCSC. He noted that MCSC has also used MSU Extension. "But what happens is we have to go through this competitive bid process. Florida takes their PDAT money and channels it to this nonprofit organization called "Volunteer Florida" and that organization does all their technical assistance and training. We would be able to use the Alliance in the same way. One check goes to the Alliance to do all the national service training but leadership training and other kinds of training to MNA." Commissioner McCarthy asked "Does the Alliance subcontract that to MCSC because you said MCSC would be keeping your technical assistance and training?" Mr. Singh stated that MNA technical assistance and training is different. MNA will do their board management and so forth. There might be point in time that the Alliance does MNA's training. But it would be considered separate. A motion to approve the staff moving forward with the concept of the Alliance plan was made by Commissioner Pruitt. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 16 �B. Meeting Dates for 2000 (approval item) Chairperson Engler asked for approval of the proposed 2000 meeting dates. Discussion followed with changes of the April meeting. The April 14th meeting was changed to April 13, 2000 following the Legislative Breakfast. The meeting will start at 10:00 a.m. and will take place at the Lansing Center. Commissioner Pickard agreed to host the December 1, 2000 meeting instead of the April meeting. A correction on the meeting dates of the Executive Committee for December 3rd was made and change to 1999 instead of 2000. Commissioner McCarthy moved to approve the meeting dates for 2000 with the aforementioned changes. Commissioner Brandell seconded. Motion passed unanimously. VII. Public Comment Mr. George Young from Florida distributed an annual report from Florida and the newsletter from Volunteer Florida. Ms. Robin Schultheiss announced to everyone that the Volunteer Centers of Michigan are behind the Alliance. Chairperson Engler gave a special thank you to the sponsors of the MCSC retreat which included Commissioner Begg, Commissioner Cummings, Commissioner Dunn, Commissioner Johnson, Commissioner Muir, Commissioner Orosz and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. VIII. Adjourn Commissioner Orosz moved to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Neelis seconded the motion . The meeti~g was adjourned at 4:15p.m. The next meeting will be November 5, 1999 in Lansing. 17 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They include: the Michigan Community Service Commission, the Michigan Department of Education, the Corporation for National Service -Michigan Office, the Michigan Nonprofit Association, and the Michigan Office on Services to the Aging. Other organizations have been involved in building the grounding principles of this document including: the Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Family Independence Agency, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, United Way of Michigan, and the K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project. This document is offered as a work in progress and is intended to invite comments, additions and corrections from the field. The intent is to craft a single document that can begin to state Michigan 's core principles and practices as they relate to service and volunteerism. We hope that this document will become a mantra for Michigan and our intent is to craft language that can be embraced by the field at the 2000 Volunteerism SuperConference. PREAMBLE We, the institutions, organizations and individuals that make up the service and volunteerism field in Michigan, have come together to recognize the tremendous value, benefits and responsibilities that come with people serving the needs of others. We know the power of one individual to positively impact people, institutions and communities through service and volunteerism. We recognize that we live in a time of enormous prosperity and wealth, but also see that there are many who are not the beneficiaries of this great fortune . We see all of these factors that control our society and know that, if there were ever a time to build effective and sustainable problem-solving models, now is the time and Michigan is the place! We believe that Michigan will be a better community if we strengthen our people; the places and organizations where we live, work, worship and serve; and the communities in which we live. VISION Michigan is a community comprised of individuals young and old, who are actively and continuously engaged in strengthening communities through action-oriented service and volunteerism. 1 �KEY PRINCIPLES Strengthening Individuals we·believe that individuals must develop a genuine understanding of the reciprocal benefits of service and volunteerism and demonstrate a clear appreciation for the power of service to positively impact community needs . We must substantially increase our awareness about the need to volunteer. We must substantially increase our awareness about the availability of specific volunteer opportunities throughout every stage of our lives. We must learn and demonstrate that we know that the person who serves others benefits as much as the person(s) served. Strengthening Communities We believe that communities must work to ensure that service and volunteerism are significantly integrated into their very fabric including their practices, beliefs, and institutions. We must look to build academic service-learning into the curriculum of educational institutions. We must look to utilize the strength and expertise of institutions of faith in our service and volunteer initiatives. We must take our personal commitments to serve to the work place and help build good corporate citizenship. We must have family members serve together to build stronger families and stronger communities. 2 �Strengthening Organizations/Institutions We believe that organizations and institutions must work to ensure that there is expanded cooperation and coordination between all service and volunteer network partners. We must ensure that state level public, private and social sector organizations look to each other for opportunities to join forces and share resources. We must ensure that institutions in all Michigan communities cooperate in ways that represent increased capacities for Michigan to respond to and meet community needs. We must continuously seek out new alliances and new partnerships to respond to the ever-changing social, economic, and political realities of our communities. KEY GOALS We operationalize our Unified State Service Plan around a five component model that identifies our goals for positive community action in Michigan: We will promote, sustain and enhance service and volunteerism by raising public awareness, strengthening infrastructures, developing resources and networks, and mobilizing of people. Public Awareness We will conduct activities aimed at increasing public awareness of volunteer and service initiatives in Michigan. We will support, promote and conduct activities that recognize the exemplary and selfless efforts of Michigan' s volunteers. Examples of Action • • • • Governor's Service Awards Dinner ConnectMichigan Campaign including a statewide newsletter, billboards and public service announcements ConnectMichigan Legislative Breakfast Make A Difference Day in Michigan 3 �Strengthening Infrastructures We will continuously identify methods to assess, expand and improve the state and local infrastructure and systems necessary to sustain service and volunteerism in Michigan. Examples of Action • Michigan Family Independence Agency Volunteer Services [still need some help with examples here] Resource Development We will secure resources in the form of people and money to sustain and expand service and volunteerism in Michigan Examples of Action • • • • • • • • George W. Romney Fund Michigan' s Volunteer Investment Grants Corporation for National Service Grants Michigan's Promise Learn & Serve Michigan Programs for School-aged Youth Service-Learning Leadership Council Connecting via websites and hotlinks Unified State Plan List Serve Network Development We will lead and facilitate annual statewide events and other activities to improve coordination and collaboration between service partners, enhance skills and abilities of volunteers and build a larger sense of community for the field in Michigan. Examples of Action • • • • Michigan ' s Volunteerism Superconference Grantmakers - Grantseekers Conference Make A Difference Day Activities Michigan Association of Volunteer Administrators' Annual Conference 4 �Mobilization of People We will increase the number of Michigan residents who volunteer and participate in community service projects that address identified needs in Michigan communities.

Romney Lansing , Telephone FAX Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Ca pitol Ave. Bldg. , 4th Floor Michig an 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser, Director Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Staff Recommendations for Michigan's AmeriCorps and Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows DATE: January 21, 2000 ofProgram~ MichirJan 's AmeriCorps Promise Fello ws Backgrouud During the last meeting there was some discussion about the Grand Rapids application regarding their inability to fill all of their awarded Promise Fell ow slots in the first year. After several discussion with them, they have decided to return two of their five positions. They were not confident that they could fill all five of the positions and therefore requested that the MCSC modify their grant to reflect three Fellow positions. As a result, the MCSC issued a Request for Proposals to existing Communities of Promise for the two Fellow positions. Two communities, Alpena and Saginaw, submitted their intent to apply for the fellows. The Alpena Volunteer Center submitted an application requesting one Fellow. We therefore, still have one vacant Fellow position. Staff Recommendation The staff recommends that the MCSC approve the Alpena Volunteer Center for provisional funding for one Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellow for a total of$11,450. Provisional funding means that the applicant must adequately address the weaknesses identified in the review. If all weaknesses are addressed by February 11, 2000 the application will be funded . In addition, the staff recommends that the final Fellow position be retained at the MCSC to provide additional assistance to the Communities of Promise. If approved, staff will seek approval from the Corporation for National Service. �Michigan's AmeriCorps Background The MCSC has approximately $2 million in federal funds to grant out for FY 2001. In addition to the $2 million dollars we have available in our formula funds, the MCSC can submit applications to be funded out of the national competitive funds (approximately $1 05,000,000). Although there is no guarantee that we will receive any of the competitive funds , we have been successful in the past. The MCSC must submit our competitive application by February 28, 2000. We will be notified on May 4, 2000 as to which programs (if any) have been funded from the competitive funds. The MCSC must then submit its formula application package to Corporation for National Service by May 15 , 2000. On October 8, 1999 the MCSC mailed a letter to more than 15,000 organizations announcing the availability of funds for new Michigan's AmeriCorps programs and asking organizations to respond if they wanted a copy of the application guidelines or to participate in one of our technical assistance sessions. On October 18, 1999 the MCSC conducted two conference calls for organizations to get a basic understanding ofthe Michigan's AmeriCorps program. More than 100 organizations participated in the calls. The MCSC also hosted three technical assistance sessions for organizations interested in sponsoring a Michigan's AmeriCorps program. More than 175 individuals registered for the Detroit session. Nearly 75 individuals registered for the Kalamazoo session and 75 additional individuals registered for the conference call technical assistance session. The MCSC received requests for more than 600 copies of the application guidelines. The MCSC's outreach effort translated into 77 organizations submitting Intent to Apply forms . Thirty four (34) organizations submitted Michigan's AmeriCorps applications on November 30, 1999. The applications were peer reviewed on December 6, 1999. The peer review teams recommended that 21 ofthe proposals mo ve to the next stage of the application process (the staff review). The staff reviewed the 21 proposals and asked 20 of them to submit comprehensive proposals. Comprehensive proposals were received on January 3, 2000. Eighteen ofthe 20 organizations submitted a comprehensive proposal. Staff Recommendation 1) The staff reviewed the proposals and are recommending that the proposals listed below be included in the MCSC competitive funding application to the CNS: Leeai Applicant Funding Request FTE Rate BHK Child Development $374,400 $11,700 32 0 Michigan Communities In Schools $206,628 $11,807 10 15 Michigan Department of Agriculture $211,312 $10,566 20 0 Page 2 #ofFT # ofPT �Oakland University $233,595 $11,680 0 40 0 The Regents of the University of Michigan $409,500 $10,111 18 45 0 United Way of Genessee & Lapeer County $267,761 $11 ,642 17 12 0 ~ 2) The staff also recommends that two of our formula renewal programs be included in the MCSC competiti ve funding application to the CNS.

DeRoy/ Josephine S. Weiner Leture, 1114/99) Vision - What do we want Michigan to be in the next century? Michigan will be a place where our society's and our communities' deepest social issues are solved by people serving people. Mission- How will we get there? Enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Principles - What will guide us in our work (as a state commission)? • Government is a partner with civil societies (which includes businesses, community based organizations, municipalities, faith based institutions, schools, etc.) and should make the most of the skills of each partner. Government at the state and federal level are best skilled as grantmakers. Possible goals I. Strengthening the MCSC's grantmaker responsibilities to include more private and state funding and less reliance on CNS funding which currently requires a great deal of programming. 2. Supporting ideas and policy that encourage a more flexible approach to volunteer and national service funding. 3. Building stronger grantmaking relationships with faith based institutions by increasing and improving outreach strategies for funding opportunities. 4. Move training and technical assistance duties from MCSC and more toward the organizations and individuals best suited to provide the services required. If it exists elsewhere, don't rebuild it. �• Susidiarity (solving a problem by the most compact and effective structures possible and feasible) involves the national movement toward devolution and the returning of responsibility to individuals for their destiny and providing the context and support to make them successful. 1. Create large pools of venture capital for nonprofit service related organizations to develop creative community based solutions to community based issues. For example, demonstration community block grants that allow communities to create their own national service program. _a. • • Develop a group of advisors with experience, knowledge and leadership in venture capital investments from the for-profit sector who can aid in assessing the investment and returns strategy for a venture capital fund. 3. Develop local coalitions in communities to develop plans and programs that solve local issues through service and volunteerism. 4. Develop volunteer resource centers to provide services to every county in the state of Michigan (much like the community foundation network exists today). 5. Building a stable state level infrastructure to support local service and volunteer efforts. Valuing and respecting a volunteer's time, talents, and interests with as much effort and attention as a financial donor's check! "If it 1. Promotion of volunteer efforts in mass media (Working to get away from the bleeds, it leads" mentality). 2. Providing a flexible menu of service and volunteer opportunities. 3. Encouraging employers to provide release time for national service volunteers much as many do for those enlisted in the National Guard. 4. Aggressively market the state's volunteer recognition efforts including the Governor's Service Awards. Building the fibers of our communities by strengthening the elements of social capital of our society like national service and service-learning. 1. Encouraging and facilitating the infusion of service-learning into the K-16 curriculum. 2. Encouraging family volunteering through funding preferences for model programs and public awareness through media campaigns. 3. Targeting community based programming that encourages youth to serve and become active citizens in the communities they reside. 2 �Methodologies - What tools will we use? How will we implement our wish list? Catalyst - for innovative approaches and programs Convener - of people and organizations Broker - of human, intellectual and financial resources 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Romney Lansing. Te lephone FAX MEMORANDUM Executive Director Kyle Caldwell TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Garry Gross, Director of Finance and Administration Michigan Community Service Commission RE: Finance & Administration Division Director' s Report DATE: January 7, 2000 S. Capitol Ave . Bldg .. 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335 -4295 (517) 373-4977 a {Y. \ A- ...&A The following is a small recap of the current issues facing the Finance and Administration Division as we continue to work on closing out the previous fiscal year and gear up for the federal audit at the end of the month. FY 98-99 Closeouts We will be receiving the final year end close out reports around the 12th of January, 2000. After receiving the reports, I will be finalizing the numbers and adjusting our accounts and I hope to have a final close out report for you at the Commission meeting. FY 2000 Budget We are still in the process of finalizing the internal divisions budget for the current Fiscal Year (FYOO). It is taking a lot longer than we originally planned due to the amount of work required to break down the large amount of expenditures, programs, and events that we do each year. This process also requires a tremendous amount of recoding of the first three months of expenditures and the creation of all new accounting lines. While the original set up of the system and reports is taking a lot of time to create, once the original budget is complete, the process in future years will be much more timely and smooth. However, while we work on completing the new format I will continue to account for the expenditures under the previous system. A breakdown of the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2000 (Oct. 1, 1999 - Dec. 31, 1999) will be handed out at the commission meeting for your review. FY 2001 Budget We have submitted our budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2001, starting October 1, 2000. In the request we have asked for an increase in our State administrative funding to one million dollars from our current year amount of $566,000. This request will allow us to maintain the high quality and level of programs that the Commission currently maintains and to help set up MCSC to increase our outreach capabilities around the State. In the current fiscal year, we are very tight in our budget as the costs of doing business, normal increases in salaries and benefits, and expanding our programs is increasing at a level faster than our support. �Finance & Administration Division Director' s Report Page2 One large expenditure that we are looking at being prepared for is the possibility of moving out of our current location. As we currently enjoy rent free status, moving to another location will require a substantial amount of support on a yearly basis. Michigan's AmeriCorps Audit The audit firm of Urbach, Kahn & Werlin, PC, will be in the office January 18-21 , 2000. We sent out the pre-audit survey and are now working on compiling the required documents and financial information that the firm requested for the survey. Based upon discussions with the audit firm, the survey should be completed in one week. Miscellaneous Issues The famous Y2K has come and gone and MCSC along with the State of Michigan passed the milestone without a glitch! The weeks leading up to the new millennium were very hectic as we upgraded all computers and software for the new year. Personnel Matters Interviews for the vacant Training and Development Coordinator position have been completed. The hiring packet has been forwarded to the Michigan Department of Career Development for processing. We hope to be able to offer this position and have our new Program Development Coordinator on staff by the end of the month. Letters of interest for the Outreach Coordinator position have been recently mailed and if things go smoothly, we hope to be interviewing the first week of February, 2000. I hope that you all had a great holiday season and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me at (517) 335-4295 or email at grossg@state.mi.us. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Romney Lans ing , Telephone FAX TO: Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Kyle Caldwell, Executive RE: Executive Director's Report DATE: January 10, 2000 S. Capitol Ave . Bldg. , 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517 ) 335 -4295 (517 ) 373-4977 Director~~ Greetings and wishes of joy and prosperity for you in the new year! 2000 is looking to be a challenging and equally successful year for the service and volunteer field in Michigan and especially for the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). This report will be rather brief not because of a lack of activity, but rather in response to commissioners' request for brevity and conciseness. In the two sections ("Making It Happen" and "Insights on the Vision"), I will quickly highlight the MCSC staff and commissioner activities then briefly discuss new initiatives and the progress of the Volunteer Alliance. More detailed reports from the division directors are included for your review. Making It Happen Michigan's AmeriCorps Continuing with our annual Fall/Winter ritual, the MCSC is currently engaged in soliciting, reviewing and submitting our FY 2000-2001 AmeriCorps application. The MCSC has approximately $2 million in federal funds available for new programs which may translate into approximately 4-8 new programs. Commissioners will be asked to approve the MCSC FY 20002001 Competitive portion of the application at the January 21,2000 meeting. (Reminder: the MCSC application to the Corporation for National Service (CNS) consists of two parts-Competitive, or the programs we place in a pool to compete with other applications nationally, and Formula, those programs we place in our allotted funds that are based on state population figures.) The Formula portion will be presented for your approval at the April 27, 2000 meeting. Learn & SERVE Michigan Grants CNS is calling for applications for the National Service-Learning Leader Schools program, a Presidential initiative designed to encourage and foster improved teaching and leadership through high quality service-learning activities. Applications have been sent to intermediate school districts in Michigan and are due to the MCSC no later than February 3, 2000. �Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants CVIG) As a result of our VIG program, the MCSC distributed a total of $698,742 of state funds to leverage the current FY 2000 total of $804,131 in locally endowed funds. To date, Michigan ' s VIG has generated $2,302,378 in locally endowed match. Not bad for two years of hard work for and by the volunteer field in Michigan. Michigan's Promise You will note that Michigan was featured prominently and frequently in America's Promise public relations materials (see Director of Programs Report). These highlights include the addition of Jackson and Saginaw to our list of Communities of Promise and Consumers Energy and the community foundations of Saginaw and Jackson to our list of commitment makers. Make A Difference Day CMDDay) A scrapbook highlighting the MD Day 1999 activities will be available in early Spring. Staff have received more than 350 newspaper clippings to date and will compile them for publication. With the overwhelming success of the program, the staff had to expand the scrapbook which significantly raised the costs of publication. Consequently, we are seeking sponsors for the 1999 publication. Governor' s Service Awards The Seventh Annual Governor' s Service Awards will be held on the evening of May 18, 2000 in conjunction with the Volunteerism SuperConference 2000. Applications for nominations are available and are due February 11 , 2000. We are also seeking peer reviewers. Please contact Lindy and/or complete the reviewer form included in the attached Outreach and Fund Development Director' s Report. As a co-chair of the Volunteerism SuperConference 2000, I am seeking sponsors for the conference. Sponsorship packets will be available at the January 21 , 2000 meeting. . Youth Poster Contest Our poster contest is moving along with the financial support of Julie Cummings and direction of Lindy Lange, Kathie Vasilion and Jill Manlove. Currently, we are distributing requests for submissions and collecting names of possible reviewers. Again, we are seeking more sponsors to defray the pre-press, printing and mailing costs. Celebrating Michigan' s Volunteers Breakfast The next commission meeting will be held in conjunction with the ConnectMichigan "Celebrating Michigan ' s Volunteers" breakfast on April 27, 2000. You may recall the success of last year' s program. We hope to again have an equally strong turnout this year. MCSC Budget The 1999-2000 fiscal year will be one of the first years the MCSC will spend all, or nearly all of the funds appropriated within the year designated. This is a healthy situation and is providing for the maximum utilization of funds for our constituents. Staff are still in the process of finalizing the FY 1998- 1999 closeout figures and creating a user-friendly budget monitoring system for FY 1999-2000. 2 �Spending all of the funds appropriated also means that the MCSC must look for creative means of supporting the myriad of new initiatives that it takes on annually. This means that the MCSC staff will be searching for sponsors of projects and initiatives like the many noted above. It also means t~at the staff will be ~ailing on ~ur leadership and our partners for assistance in securing support. Lmdy Lange and I will be working on fund development and support plans over the corning months and we will share them with the full commission as they are more fully formed. Follow Up to Commissioner Retreat A written summary of the "History of the MCSC" exercise from the MCSC retreat last Fall will be distributed at the January 21, 2000 meeting. In addition, staff are working to follow up on the items commissioners identified as issues. You will recall that the four main issues were: 1. Develop a plan for better board engagement including mentoring programs, specific tasks and duties and lists of larger roles board members can play. 2. Make better use of technologies for communication and promotion of the MCSC goals, tasks and functions. 3. Implement a joint venture with organizations in the field to sustain the work of the MCSC into the future. 4. Develop better public relations and brand strategies to promote the organization and the field . The MCSC staff have developed plans for points 2 and 3. Slowly, we have been communicating with commissioners and friends via email and the internet on issues that need quick and timely attention. The Make A Difference Day activities posting was the most recent example. Staff will continue to find ways to improve communication between members and staff. The Volunteer Alliance proposal is moving forward. All respective boards (Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact and the MCSC) have been introduced to the concept and have charged their respective staff members to investigate how the Volunteer Alliance might be implemented. In addition, the leadership of the MCSC and the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) will meet with Governor Engler on January 12, 2000 to secure his commitment to the Volunteer Alliance and discuss the best way to develop this initiative. Points 1 and 4 will need to be examined in conjunction with the development of the Volunteer Alliance and the future directions of the MCSC. There is significant time set aside in the January meeting agenda to discuss these issues and their impact on the field . More information on the Volunteer Alliance and our progress to date will be presented at the January 21, 2000 meeting. Insights on the Vision At our January 21, 2000 meeting we will be discussing the future directions of the MCSC. You will find a number of items under Tab 6 that will be used to spur the conversation. I would also like to include an explanation of a few initiatives that the staff are working on that will impact our discussion and the direction of the field. 3 �Strengthening National Service in Michigan One of the goals I set early on for the MCSC was to strengthen the size, scope, quality and reach of the Michigan ' s AmeriCorps portfolio of programs. Last year, Michigan welcomed City Year into its formula funding portfolio while maintaining the quality and size of its established overall AmeriCorps funding. This year, Michigan will propose the Governor's Reading Readiness Corps. The Governor' s Office, in conjunction with Michigan State University's 4H Extension Service and the Michigan Department of Education are developing an AmeriCorps application to improve the reading abilities of children K-4. The Reading Readiness Corps will be developed in response to the Governor's call for children to be ready to read by the third grade. This program and the national service application will build on a soon to be implemented statewide VISTA program involving approximately a dozen members who will work to build relationships with schools, parents, students and community based organizations to develop early childhood literacy programs in and out of schools. A final application will be prepared for approval at the April 27, 2000 meeting. Service-Learning The W.K. Kellogg Foundation invited the MCSC, Council of Michigan Foundations K-12 Philanthropy in Education Project, and the Michigan Department of Education to submit a threeyear $200,000 grant proposal to develop public policy and resources to institutionalize servicelearning in Michigan. This proposal builds on the work of the MCSC and its partners to build the infrastructure of service and education and the outreach efforts we made last Spring to key state leaders to gain their support for service-learning. This current effort will bring support and staff to this effort and provide a context for significant progress toward our goal of building an ethic of service in our youth. Unified State Service Plan The MCSC and its statewide partners are developing a state plan for service and volunteerism (see Tab 6). This plan is based on our state's basic vision, principles and practices related to how the service and volunteer field does business. Currently, the MCSC is working with a consultant to conduct focus groups across the state to gain the feedback of local individuals and organizations on the plan. After we have collected and analyzed the data from these focus groups, we (MCSC and its statewide partners) will modify the plan and then present it at the Volunteerism SuperConference 2000 where we will hold a public signing of the document as a demonstration of the plan 's acceptance by the field. The intention is for this plan to be incorporated in the operations and planning of volunteer based organizations across the state. The MCSC staff would like to recommend that the full membership of the MCSC also adopt the plan in its grantmaking and strategic planning priorities. Thank you. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thank you for all the hard work that made these achievements possible. There are two points I want to make at this turn of the century. First, national service- as a partnership of the civic sector, the corporate sector and government at all levels- is built on the principles of devolution and collaboration that are now at the center of a quickly emerging national consensus. Practically all the Presidential candidates are calling for a devolution of resources and responsibility to states, communities, and the non-profit sector, including the great educational, faithbased, and civic organizations. National service is the living example of just such a new way of getting things done. That's one reason it is so important that we have succeeded and that we continue to succeed in making national service work. And that' s why bipartisan and non-partisan support of our programs is so strong and growing- why we're not just going to survive, we 're going to thrive. Second, we' ve made tremendous progress in getting the systems in place to meet the extraordinary challenges of administering, monitoring and accounting for this large decentralized system through which we support thousands of grantees and service sponsors. As we succeed in establishing the infrastructure for National Service that Congress intended, we are demonstrating that this new form of public-private, federal, state and local cooperation works. In January alone, we have two special opportunities. First, I urge each of you to organize or participate in service activities to celebrate the Martin Luther King Holiday on Monday, January 17 as "a day on, not a day off." And second, I look forward to being with many of you January 24-27 in New Mexico at the ACCESS: Opening the Doors to Service national conference to build collaboration between the disability community and all the streams of service. We ' ve come far- and we' ve got far to go. As we approach the new year and new century, let ' s remember the urgency with which Martin Luther King, Jr. sought to fulfill the Promise of America for all. More than thirty years after his death that work is still not finished, but in all our programs - and in the campaign for America's Promise in which we are participating- we are doing our part to overcome the big obstacles that remain. With warmest wishes, Harris Wofford Chief Executive Officer NATIONAL SERVICE: GETTING THINGS DONE . . 1201 New York Avenue , N.W. ~ Washingto.n , D.C. ~0525 AmrnCt•rrs . u am and Serve America · \ \ wcnal Senior Semce Corps W telephone: 202-606-5000 · websne : www.nauonalsernce.org �December 1999 1999 HIGHLIGHTS CORPOP~.ATION FOR NATIONAL SERVICE This has been a year marked by exceptional progress in creating opportunities for Americans of all ages and backgrounds to serve and in advancing the idea that service is a key strategy for bringing people together to solve community problems. This Report underscores some highlights ofthe year. Before turning to reports on our programs, a few key developments merit special mention. One of the most important developments ofthe year is that service has become an increasing factor in the public discussion about how to mend the American community and solve persistent problems. Reflecting our democracy, this discussion is occurring in many forums. In August, General Colin Powell, Chair of America's Promise, told the nation's Governors that AmeriCorps "is a tremendous investment in young people, a tremendous investment in the future." Alld George Magazine's newly-released book ranks service first among 250 ways to improve America in the new century. Most of the presidential candidates, in their own ways, have spoken powerfully about the need to inspire and encourage citizens to give to their communities and the importance of forging new partnerships to solve problems. The serious attention that service is n~w receiving is a testament to the long and hard work of so many champions of National Service around the country. President Clinton has continued his emphasis on service, on many occasions, ending his year with his message to AmeriCorps members and other volunteers at the DC Central Kitchen: "I want to say again how proud I am of you and what a testament you have been to the proposition that working with others is not a burden, it is a joy; it is not a duty, it is a privilege. And whether you are preparing meals or teaching a child to read or painting an old school, you always get more than you give." We also witnessed a growing consensus that solving our problems requires real partnerships between businesses, the non-profit sector, and government at all levels. The Corporation for National Service is at the forefront, searching and finding new ways to collaborate with leading companies, with non-profits, large and small, local and national. and with the nations governors and mayors. Working with the Points of Light Foundation, with whom we sponsored the Presidents' Summit for America's Promise, we are actively engaged in carrying out the campaign for children and youth led by General Colin Powell. Also worthy of special note is the impact of technology on our work. One of the most important priorities during this year has been to increase and improve our use of �technology. We have used technology to enhance our basic communications through the national service field and now information technology, including the internet, has become a vital force in improving the efficiency of our daily business operations. We also continue to improve the Corporation's website- www.nationalservice.org. We experienced an exponential increase in the number of "hits" on the website, and we expect to see further growth in the coming year. At this point, the website contains extensive resource material, and we hope that you will use it as a key research tool. (This Report often refers readers to the website for additional information.) We know that the web is an increasingly important vehicle for recruiting and are devoting time and energy to make the site a more lively, user-friendly recruiting tool. Expect to see new material and further enhancements in the months ahead. AmeriCorps In its first five years, more than 150,000 people have joined AmeriCorps- as many as have joined the Peace Corps in 38 years. And since 1994, the number of AmeriCorps grantees has grown from 350 to over 800. Our latest evaluation study, released in conjunction with the fifth year anniversary, documented the impact that AmeriCorps members are having in classrooms, in after-school programs, in low-income communities, in disaster response and in myriad other assignments. We have also seen growing numbers of AmeriCorps members take advantage of the education award they receive for completing service. In 1999 alone, more than 23,000 former AmeriCorps members used their AmeriCorps education awards. The key to the success of AmeriCorps lies in the achievement and experience of individual members. That ' s why our emphasis in AmeriCorps this year has been on the recognition of the AmeriCorps members. Early in the year the President launched AmeriCorps ' Call to Service campaign at the University ofMaryland. This recruiting blitz ultimately included 28 events in 16 states and included such notable participants as Tipper Gore. former Peace Corps Director Mark Gearan, First Lady of Michigan Michelle Engler, Sen. John Kerry, Lt. Governor Olene Walker ofUtah. Mayors Dennis Archer of Detroit and Ron Gonzales of San Jose. and former Congressman and Chief of Staff Leon Panena. In all of the events and the supporting material. the focus was squarely on the stories and the experiences of AmeriCorps members. In the fall , we celebrated the Fifth Anniversary of AmeriCorps with a series of service projects and events around the country, including a major event at the White House on October 20. The centerpiece of the White House commemoration was giving the first All* AmeriCorps Awards to 21 exceptional former AmeriCorps members. In the spirit of non-partisan support for service, the awards were given by Caretta Scon King. General Colin Powell, Gov. Mike Leavitt ofUtah and Sargent Shriver. (For features on each of the 21 winners, please see www.americorps.ore/5vears.) To support the continued growth of AmeriCorps, we developed a range of new recruiting materials emphasizing the achievements and experiences of individual 2 �members. Those materials include new AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps*NCCC, and AmeriCorps*\1STA brochures. We are about to complete a mailing to 300,000 college seniors. Soon after the New Year, we will release a new AmeriCorps recruiting public service announcement featuring Detroit Pistons basketball star Grant Hill. Another priority in AmeriCorps was to work closely with the field to strengthen the management of grants and programs. We began in January with a Financial and Program Accountability Seminar, an intense three-day training session for state commissions and national direct grantees. The leadership of the Corporation, including the Inspector General, stressed how important it is to improve and pay close attention to all aspects of the administration and record keeping of AmeriCorps grants. Throughout the year, we have been working intensely to develop administrative standards for state commissions. These standards, which we developed in close consultation with state commissions, are designed to help commissions assess their own capacity and to guide outside evaluators in measuring the performance of state commissions. We have field-tested the administrative standards, adjusted them based on the results of these pilot tests, and will fully implement them in the coming year. In addition, AmeriCorps launched three program initiatives during the year. First, the initial class of AmeriCorps Promise Fellows was sworn-in. The AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program is a partnership with America's Promise to help communities deliver the five promises for children and youth that are the focus of the America's Promise campaign. In February, more than 350 ofthe first group of Fellows attended a national training institute to prepare them for their service. In the fall, the Corporation made a second round of grants to continue and expand the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows initiative. To strengthen our continuing partnership with the nation ' s Governors, the Corporation announced a special competition for Governors' Initiatives . Through these grants. the Corporation is making AmeriCorps resources available to support special policy initiatives of governors. The Corporation funded a total of 18 proposals. making 3.000 AmeriCorps members available for projects ranging from state park restoration in Tennessee to tutoring ofK- 4th grade students in Ohio to technology training and development in Maine. AmeriCorps*VISTA continues to grow and flourish. Once again, VISTA received a sizable increase in appropriations, and in the next year we hope to reach 6,000 volunteers. As VISTA celebrates its 35th anniversary in the coming year, it is on the cutting-edge of meeting challenges in literacy, welfare-to-work and efforts to close the digital divide. Just this month, after a nationwide search, we selected Matt Dunne, a state legislator from Vermont, to be the new Director of AmeriCorps*VIST A. He will be an energetic new leader during this very promising time for VISTA. In ~ovember. we announced a major new AmeriCorps*VIST A initiative called PowerUp, a partnership to deliver technological resources and expertise to disadvantaged 3 �commumt1es. PowerUp is a joint venture of America Online, the Case Foundation, America's Promise, the YMCA ofthe USA, Boys and Girls Clubs, the Wain Family Foundation, and other partners and founders who are donating computers, internet access anp other resources to schools and community centers that need them. In 250 new PowerUp centers, more than 400 trained AmeriCorps*VIST A members will serve fulltime as mentors to young participants ·a.nd train them in computer technologies they'll need to succeed in the digital age. The Case Foundation and other partners such as the Boys and Girls Clubs will pay most of the VISTA costs. AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) continues to be a powerful force. This year, the NCCC once again received over 3,000 applications for its 800 positions. Corps members engaged in hundreds of successful service projects, covering 49 states and Puerto Rico, ranging from disaster response in North Carolina after Hurricane Floyd to support for the Special Olympics World Summer Games to the Habitat Collegiate Challenge project which made it possible for over 2,000 college and high school students to help build homes for low-income families during their spring break to The Great River Sweep project that engaged 8,000 volunteers on a massive clean-up of the Hudson River to work with more than 30 Boys and Girls Clubs. Lauren Ravit, a Southeast Region class V NCCC alumna recently wrote of her experience: "I know it is the most important thing I will ever do and I will take the pledge to 'get things done for America' with me for the rest of my life." Service-Learning As a strategy for both engaging students in service to the community and enhancing academic performance, service-learning is taking hold in an ever-growing number of schools. Through the Learn and Serve America program, we provide grant funds to more than 200 educational and community-based organizations to support service-learning. As a result of a proven track record, more and more educators. parents and community members are seeing service-learning as a viable teaching tool and realizing the potential for utilizing students as a resource for solving community problems. In September we joined with the Department of Education to release the results of a national K- 12 school survey that documents the growth of service-learning. The survey shows that thirty-two percent of all schools organized service-learning as part of their curriculum. including nearly half of all high schools. Sixty-four percent of all public schools, including eighty-three percent of public high schools, had students participating in community service activities recognized by or arranged through the school. The survey also provides information on sources of funding to support community service and service-learning, school policies making participation in servicelearning voluntary or mandatory, and how schools are implementing service-learning. (For more information on the study, please see www.leamandserve.org.) 4 �Following up on the release ofthe survey, just this month we joined with Secretary of Education Riley to renew our agencies' Declaration ofPrinciples in support of Service-Learning. (The full text of the Declaration is available at www.leamandserve.org.) In addition to funding service.:leaming grants, we have undertaken several special initiatives to encourage and recognize service by students and leadership in the field of service-learning. This year the Corporation launched t.he President's Student Servic~ Award. This award program, which is modeled on the President 's Physical Fitness Award, demonstrates that civic fitness is as important as physical fitness . Young people who perform at least 100 hours of service are eligible for the Award. The program is off to a strong start, and promises to multiply in the coming year. It is being administered by a joint venture of the American Institute for Public Service, the Points ofLight Foundation and Youth Serve America. (For more information on the President ' s Student Service Award, please see ·www.student-service-awards.om/awards .html.) Through the President's Student Service Scholarships, more than 3,600 high school students received a $1,000 scholarship for their outstanding service in 1999. With $500 provided by the Corporation and matched dollar-for-dollar by a local or national organization, the Scholarships can be awarded to two students per high school, so long as funds are available. This past year, Boys & Girls Clubs of America allocated $1 million to enable each of its Clubs ' local Youths of the Year to receive the President's Student Service Scholarship . The Scholarship program is administered by the Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of America. The Corporation also recognized the first winners of the National S~-~ice­ Learning Leader Schools, 70 high schools that exhibited outstanding programs and accomplishments in service-learning. For the next two years. these 70 schools will serve as models and active ·leaders in demonstrating the value and quality of service-learning programs. In the coming year, we are extending the Leader School program to middle schools. (Additional information on the Leader Schools is available at v.'wv; .leamandserve.ore 1leaderschools/.) Senior Service All sectors of society are beginning to see the significance of the aging population. Nowhere is this more evident than in the field of service, where the power of senior service is becoming ever more important and apparent. Just this month, the New York Times featured senior service on the cover page. In line with this increasing importance and attention, the National Senior Service Corps made significant progress in 1999 toward major strategic, program and management objectives. We are meeting the needs of seniors and of communities by implementing a vision for senior service that includes a wide range of flexible service alternatives. 5 �The three programs that form the heart of the National Senior Service CorpsFoster Grandparent Program, Senior Companions, and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)- are stronger, larger and more vital than ever. The Programming for Impact initiative we put in place over the past several years has helped to change the face and focus of the Senior Corps programs and has positioned them to respond effectively to the increasing demand for accountability. The success of Programming for Impact is seen not only in the effectiveness of delivering services but also in the increased appropriations for each of the Senior Corps programs. In addition, we have developed senior demonstrations as "incubators" for new ideas and service innovations. These initiatives are demonstrating the value of various approaches that can be incorporated into existing programs and that can lead to a wider range of service opportunities for a wider group of seniors. These demonstration are helping to identify and shape a new national senior service model that focuses on sustained, intensive service of senior leaders. The senior leaders help to recruit and support even greater numbers of volunteers ages 55 and older.. Volunteers serve ~ithout regard to income or restrictions on what they can do. One example is the Experience Corps I Seniors for Schools. The evaluation results for Seniors for Schools show the potential value of seniors focused on a particular service. The results show that senior service concentration on reading skills makes a major impact on the children and the schools served. Even in the early stages of testing, these senior demonstrations have generated significant new partnerships. 1he State of Ohio now contributes more than $2 million annually for a program explicitly founded on Seniors for Schools. We are working closely with Civic Ventures to help sustain and accelerate the momentum for an expanded and more comprehensive national approach to senior service. It's president, Marc Freedman, has just written a challenging and important book on the potential of senior service, Prime Time: How Baby Boomers will Revolurioni=e Retirement and Transform America. In another successful effort to expand the scope of senior service, the Senior Corps has established National Organization Partners , who have been introduced to the power of senior service. In the past two years, Senior Corps established productive partnerships with seven national non-profit organizations: Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America. Catholic Charities, Child Welfare League of America-Generations United, Lutheran Services in America, Points ofLight Foundation, Save the Children, and Volunteers of America. As a result, these national organization are: (I) looking to the aging of America as a resource boom; (2) acknowledging the Corporation's role as a leader; and (3) beginning to promote the use of senior volunteers as a resource throughout their affiliate networks . 6 �These national partners are starting to coalesce as vital new supporters of an expanded andre-engineered Senior Corps, and will be important allies as we begin the 21 51 century. Management and Administration Improving the business operations and financial management of the Corporation has also been a top priority. This year we made additional improvements in financial management, including getting a clean opinion on a statement of fmancial position, and important steps toward the goal of a clean audit opinion on a full set of financial statements. While more work remains, the Corporation is moving closer to our goal of full auditability and is becoming more efficient and customer-friendly for our grantees and partners. We implemented a new financial accounting system that will modernize financial management, provide better funds control and real-time, on-line access to data for record-keeping and decision-making. This new system is Year 2000 (Y2K) compliant. We also successfully updated and modernized our computer hardware and software so that all mission critical systems are Y2K compliant. As noted earlier, we are harnessing the power of the internet to support our financial and program management. Working closely with state commissions, we implemented the new web-based reporting system (WBRS) that makes it possible for AmeriCorps grantees to enroll and record member service through the internet. In addition to the improvements in productivity and accuracy that will come through this system, both for our grantees and our own staff, we will have far more powerful management reports that will contribute to program operations. In the coming year, we will continue to emphasize the importance of good business practices and sound fiscal management. And we will have the benefit of having our new Chief Financial Officer, Anthony Musick, who was nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate in mid-November. Tony brings a well-tested experience to his lead role on financial management improvements. SPECIAL INITIATIVES Compact on Youth Service The Corporation for National Service took the lead with America's Promise in bringing about a new compact with a growing number of the leading national youth or youth-serving organizations specifically pledging to work together to increase opportunities for young people to help fulfill America's Promise for other young people. The other initial organizations joining in this concerted strategy include: American Red Cross, Big Brothers Big/Sisters, YMCA of the USA, Boys and Girls Clubs, Points of Light Foundation, Grantmaker Forum on Community and National Service, Youth 7 �Service America, United Way of America, City Cares of America, Communities in Schools, Do Something, and Girl Scouts of America. The compact includes support for the goals of 100,000 ArneriCorps members, two million President's Student Service Awards for 100 hours of service, and half a million work-study students in community service. The compact will be a powerful new force in demonstrating that young people must be seen -and see themselves- as resources and leaders in fixing what ails us as a nation and in bringing service by youth to scale in this country. Martin Luther King Day of Service Last January the national service community, working with the King Center on Non-Violence and hundreds of thousands of volunteers, led the nation in celebrating the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. as "A Day On, Not a Day Off." The idea of the King Holiday as a Day of Service ccntinues to gain ground. The President and the VicePresident joined with AmeriCorps members in Washington, DC and the King family participated in a service project with Hands on Atlanta. And at hundreds of sites around the country, national service participants - young and old -participated in service projects ranging from serving meals to home bound AIDS patients in Maryland to building Habitat homes in Pennsyivania to tutoring children at a Head Start/Early Learning Program in Virginia. King Day 2000, which will be celebrated on January 17, promises to be even larger. As a result of a $100,000 contribution from Best Buy, Inc. the Corporation was able to increase the number of its small grants for serv.ice projects. And Grant Hill has produced a radio and television PSA urging people to serve on MLK Day. (For more information on MLK Day activities, please visit www.mlkdav.org.) National Community Service Conference Last June more than 3,000 leaders in national service and community volunteering gathered for the annual National Community Service Conference. In addition to being the largest conference to date, this year' s conference generated tremendous enthusiasm for seeing service and volunt~ering as essential elements of community problem-solving strategies. Based on the success of the 1999 conference, America's Promise and the United Way have joined as partners in the 2000 National Community Service Conference, which will be even larger. General Powell and the network of state and local Promise campaigns will participate. The focus of the conference will be on "Fulfilling the Promise for America's Children and Youth." 8 �* * * We in the national service field have set high goals for ourselves, and we are constantly stretching to increase the quality, scope and impact of our work. The future holds many challenges and opportunities. The record of accomplislunent in 1999 is cause for great optimism about what national service can do for communities, for panicipants, and for the nation as a whole. 9 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson, Chairperson, Board Development Committee RE: Report and Recommendations for Consideration DATE: January 7, 2000 The Board Development Committee met on November 24, 1999 to discuss appointment recommendations and changes to P A 219. Appointments Kathy Honaker has asked to step down from the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) as she has accepted a promotion within the Allstate Company in Texas. The Governor has accepted her resignation. We wish Ms. Honaker well in her new position. Should you wish to contact Ms. Honaker, her new address is: Allstate Insurance Company 8675-E5 Freeport Parkway Irving, TX 75063 The Committee currently has no formal recommendations to offer the Commission, but has been pursuing a number of prospects and invite members of the MCSC to forward any names to the Committee for consideration. Final recommendations will be offered at the April meeting. PA 219 Currently PA 219 (the statute that codified the MCSC) reads: " The commission shall consist of 25 members appointed by the governor." The statute makes no reference to term limits (recently approved by the MCSC) nor does is provide the flexibility to appoint more than 25 members. The Committee recommends that the statute be changed to include the language concerning term limits and language addressing the minimum number of appointments rather than the maximum (see modified copy of PA 219). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Things have been extremely busy for the program division since my return to MCSC less than two months ago. Listed below is an program division update for your review. Michigan's AmeriCorps Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Celebration On October 29, 1999 more than 300 individuals representing Michigan's AmeriCorps programs, AmeriCorps VISTA programs, AmeriCorps Promise Fellows programs, and national direct AmeriCorps programs gathered to celebrate AmeriCorps in Michigan. The event served as an orientation for members to learn about AmeriCorps at the state and national level. A number of commissioners participated in the celebration including Commissioners Pruitt, Smith and Orosz. Celebration members were asked to take the AmeriCorps pledge administered by Commissioner Meg Smith. Commissioner Orosz was on hand to celebrate with the members and deliver a few inspiring words to the members as the begin their year of service. See the attached agenda for more details on the events. Hats off to the AmeriCorps staff for this great event! 5th Anniversary ofAmeriCorps On Wednesday, October 20, 1999 the President and First Lady hosted more than 1,000 AmeriCorps members and friends at the White House to commemorate the fifth Anniversary of AmeriCorps. Key participants of the event included Retired General Colin Powell, Governor Michael Leavitt, Caretta Scott King, and Sargent Shriver. Kyle Caldwell attended the event on behalf of the MCSC. Since 1994, nearly 150,000 Americans have answered the AmeriCorps call to service and have devoted a year to help change lives, rebuild communities, and strengthen America. Together they have taught, tutored, or mentored more than 4 million children, recruited and trained more than 2 million volunteers, built more than 10,000 homes, established or expanded more than 40,000 "safe zones" in schools and neighborhoods, provided food and clothing for more than 5 million homeless, helped more than 600,000 seniors live independently, and responded to nearly 200 disasters including floods , hurricanes, and tornadoes. �Program Division Director' s Report Page 2 To commemorate the overall accomplishments of the AmeriCorps members, the Corporation created the First Annual All-AmeriCorps Awards. Twenty-one AmeriCorps members were recognized at the White House Ceremony for their extraordinary commitment to service. Christy Hicks-Bowman, a former Michigan's AmeriCorps member, was awarded the Common Ground Award. The award honors AmeriCorps members who brought together people and organizations and helped others learn to find common ground, live peacefully, and work together toward shared goals. Christy, who served with the AmeriCorps Oakland program in Pontiac, Michigan, started a conflict resolution program for middle school students, teaching them skills in managing conflict and diversity and then training them as peer mediators and role models for elementary students. 2000 Michigan 's AmeriCorps Application Process Although many of our 1999-2000 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs just started in September, it i time to begin thinking about the application process for 2000-01. After reviewing our current portfolio and where programs are in their 3 year funding cycle, MCSC has determined that we have approximately $2 million to fund new AmeriCorps for FY 2000-01. Thirteen of our 19 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs must recompete as new applicants. Therefore we have a large amount of money available for the next application process. On October 8, 1999, MCSC mailed a letter to more than 15,000 organizations announcing the availability of funds for new Michigan's AmeriCorps programs and asking organization to respond if they wanted a copy of the application guidelines or to participate in one of our technical assistance sessions. On October 18, 1999, MCSC conducted two conference calls for organizations to get a basic understanding of the Michigan's AmeriCorps program. More than 100 organizations participated in the calls. MCSC also hosted three technical assistance sessions for organizations interested in sponsoring a Michigan's AmeriCorps program. More than 175 individuals registered for the Detroit session. Nearly 75 individuals registered for the Kalamazoo session and 75 additional individuals registered for the conference call technical assistance session. MCSC received requests for more than 600 copies of the application guidelines. The Michigan' AmeriCorps application process has multiple steps. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11 . 12. 13 . If organizations plan to submit an application they must submit an Intent to Apply form by November 19, 1999. The applications are due to MCSC on November 30, 1999. The applications will be reviewed by a panel of external peer reviews and the MCSC staff. Those applications that are successful will be asked to attend a one-day technical as i tance session on December 13. At that time, applicants will be asked to revise their proposal based on the peer and staff review. The revised proposals are due to MCSC on January 3, 2000. MCSC staff will review the proposals and determine which ones should be included in the MCSC's competitive Funding application. MCSC staff will present the staff recommendations at the January 21 , 2000 board meeting. MCSC will submit their Competitive Funding application to CNS on February 25 , 2000. MCSC will be notified on May 4, 2000 which programs were funded competitively. MCSC staff will finalize the staffs recommendation for the formula funding package. MCSC board will approve the formula package via conference call of May 8, 2000. MCSC will submit their formula package to CNS on May 12, 2000. MCSC will be notified by August 1, 2000 on the approval of the formula package. �Program Division Director's Report Page 3 Attached is·a copy of the Michigan's AmeriCorps 2000 Application Guidelines and the notice that was mailed out announcing the availability of funds for new programs. Michigan's Promise Promise Fellows At the September board meeting you approved provisional funding for all seven of the Michigan' AmeriCorps Promise Fellows applications. Provi sion funding meant that the applicants needs to address the identified weaknesses generated from the peer and staff review . If the applicants successfully addressed the weaknesses they would then receive funding. All seven of the applicants successfully addressed their weaknesses and will receive another year of funding . During the last meeting there was some discussion about the Grand Rapids application regarding their inability to fill all of their awarded Promise Fellows slots in the fust year. They were awarded five slots and only filled two of them. The MCSC staff has worked with the applicant to develop a detailed plan for recruiting all of the slots for the new year. We are confident they have a solid plan for recruitment and selection of the fellows. However, we will continue to monitor this issue closely. Jackson and Saginaw Events SAGINAW- On October 21, 1999 Retired General Colin Powell and First Lady Michelle Engler joined the Saginaw community in launching their America's Promise efforts. The celebration was the formal kick-off for the $3 million endowment fund being established at the Saginaw Community Foundation around the five fundamental resources . The event was also an opportunity to inform the general public and potential commitment makers about the Community of Promise activities to date and future plans. The event was held at the Saginaw Civic Center and approximately 5,000- 6,000 people were in attendance. JACKSON- On October 22, 1999 Retired General Colin Powell and First Lady Michelle Engler joined the Jackson community in launching their local America's Promise efforts, Jackson County's Promise to kids. The event also formally introduced the Consumers Energy Commitment, Jackson Community Foundation commitment, and commitment by United Way of Jackson County. The celebration was held in the auditorium of Jackson High School and was filled to capacity with 1600 in attendance. The senior class of Jackson High School attended and the remainder of the school attended via live taping/broadcast. In addition, overflow rooms were available for the general public to watch the program live via the live broadcast. Upcoming Fellows Training A training is being held at the Ralph A. McMullen Conference Center at Higgins Lake on Nov 8-9, 1999 for Fellows, Head Start VISTAs, and National Direct Fellows. There will be approximately 20 attendees. The main training topics are: Effectively communicating your message and Group Process/Group Dynamics. There will also be open space discussions around challenges and solutions. Headstart VISTA Program Training There are 11 Head Start VISTAs providing service to 11 Head Start agencies in Communities of Promise. They are working to increase the number of volunteers within their agency and are also working to provide at least two of the five fundamental resources to the clients. On October 16, 1999 a training was held for the Head Start Sites of Promise ArneriCorps* VISTA members. It was conducted by Robin Lynn Schultheiss and focused on Volunteer Recruitment and Retention since all VISTA members have a goal of increasing the volunteers at their local sites. All 11 VISTAS and some of their supervisors attended the training. MCSC helped organize the training. �Program Division Director's Report Page4 Upcoming National Meeting The Corporation for National Service is hosting a national meeting for Promise Fellows grantees on November 16- 18, 1999. Mary Grill, MCSC's Communities of Promise Coordinator will attend the meeting. Communities o(Promise Directory A MSU class in American Thought and Language has a service learning component where students work with local nonprofit organizations to complete a writing project. Two students and the class professor chose Michigan's Promise as their project. We are working together to complete a Michigan's Promise Community Directory that will be printed in catalog form. The catalog will be distributed to local communities, potential statewide commitment makers, and other Promise partners. The catalog will be divided by community and will include lead contact information, a brief description of the local initiative, and a listing of all partner organizations involved in the local initiative and the fundamental resource each organization provides. Volunteer Investment Grants FY99 Grants For FY 99, the MCSC issued 17 grants for a total of $904,000. As of November 1, 1999 a total of $645,647 has been endowed in local foundations and MCSC has distributed $539,127. Each VIG recipient has until December 31, 1999 to raise their local match. Three grantees (ENRICH for Ionia County, Keweenaw Children's Museum, and Lenawee United Way and Volunteer Center) did not reach their 6 month local match goal. MCSC is working with them to address this issue. See the attached chart for specific information for FY 99 Volunteer Investment Grants. FY 2000 Grants The MCSC Executive Committee will be giving approval for the FY 2000 grants on November 5, 1999. The results will be shared at the January 21 , 2000 board meeting. Learn & SERVE Michigan Community-based On September 16- 17, 1999 a joint Learn & SERVE Michigan meeting was held at Camp Miniwanca in Shelby, Michigan. The MCSC partnered with the Michigan Department of Education to conduct the meeting. Grantee from both school-based programs and communitybased programs gathered to discuss policies and procedures, financial management practices, highlights from the field, and available technical assistance. Community-based Service- Learning Curriculum Pro ject MCSC has been working with Steve Stanley, President of Analyze and Apply, Inc. , to develop a community-based service-learning curriculum. The curriculum was developed in order to support our grantees in better identifying measurable learning objectives for their service-learning programs. The curriculum is currently being piloted with our 1999 Learn & SERVE Michigan community-based programs. The curriculum will be revised based on the pilot stage. Once the revisions are made, the curriculum will be published and disseminated to our current and future grantees. Training and Technical Assistance As you know the training and technical assistance coordinator position is currently vacant. Diana Algra, our loaned executive from the Family Independence Agency, is serving as the interim �Program Division Director' s Report Page 5 coordinator. We are working to fill the position but realistic think it will not be filled until January 2000. Currently, Diana is preparing the Program Development and Training (PDAT) application for the Corporation for National Service. MCSC will be applying for $120,000 to provide training and technical assistance to our grantees and others in the national service and volunteerism field. The application is due to the Corporation on November 17, 1999. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michigan's AmeriCorps Overview The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is the administrative agent for Michigan' s AmeriCorps. The MCSC's mission is to enable all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and Volunteerism. For more information on the MCSC visit our website at www.state.mi.us/career/mcsc. Michigan ' s AmeriCorps engages the energy and idealism of the citizens of Michigan, including young people, in meeting the most critical educational, public safety, human and environmental needs in our communities. Michigan 's AmeriCorps currently consists of 19 programs with more than 1,000 members serving on a full- or part-time basis. The 19 programs partner with more than 100 organizations throughout the state to address the needs of communities. AmeriCorps is a national service program designed to strengthen citizenship and the ethic of service by engaging thousands of Americans on a full- or part-time basis to help communities address their toughest challenges. The Corporation for National Service (CNS) administers AmeriCorps at the federal level and works in partnership with states to develop service programs and create a community-based national service network. CNS focuses AmeriCorps programs to address the human needs, public safety, education and environmental issues of the nation. AmeriCorps ' mission inCludes: Getting Things Done. AmeriCorps helps a community meet its education, public safety, human or environmental challenges through direct and demonstrable community service. Strengthening Communities. AmeriCorps unites individuals and institutions of all kinds in a common effort to improve our communities. Encouraging Responsibility. Through service and civic education, AmeriCorps enables members to see themselves as problem-solvers, not problems; to become leaders, not just followers; and to act on their responsibilities, as well as their rights. Expanding Opportunity. AmeriCorps helps those who help America. Members receive job skills, invaluable experience and scholarships or loan repayment for schooling or job training. A. Michigan's AmeriCorps 2000 Funds MCSC has approximately $2 million dollars available to fund new Michigan ' s AmeriCorps programs. Approximately 8-10 new programs will be submitted by MCSC in its Federal funding request to CNS. The selection of the Michigan' s AmeriCorps programs is a multistep process. In order to be eligible to be included in the MCSC Federal funding request, finalists should develop service programs of high quality that will produce substantial impact in communities and offer meaningful service opportunities. �B. Types, Terms, Size, and Match Requirements of Grants 1. Grant Terms a. Operating Grants The MCSC funds operating grants that support fully-developed plans to establish a new Michigan's AmeriCorps program or to support, expand, or replicate an existing program. Most grant awards will cover a period that includes one year of operation with an initial start-up phase for programs that are completely new. Grants may be renewed for two years subject to annual review and availability of federal appropriations . Programs seeking funding beyond three years must reapply as a new applicant. b. Sustainability The Michigan Community Service Commission is re-examining its funding decisions and its goals as a grant maker. As a result, applicants will need to carefully weigh their ability to increase local financial support for their activities. The MCSC feels that given the unpredictable nature of federal funding for AmeriCorps and the desire to broaden the opportunities for other communities to experience the power of AmeriCorps, a pro-active plan for distributing resources was needed. The MCSC has long held that AmeriCorps is a powerful tool for community building, individual development and creating demonstrable impact where people live. As a state agency charged with enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism, the MCSC must work to affect as many individuals and organizations as possible. This is why the MCSC encourages applicants to seek increased local match while requesting reduced levels of federal support. Applicants that are former recipients ofMichigan's AmeriCorps funds should pay particular attention to this issue. 2. Program Types Applicants have a great deal of flexibility to design programs that will best achieve the goals of getting things done in communities, strengthening communities, and developing the citizenship and skills of corpsmembers. This flexibility includes the ability to target individuals of a certain age or skill level as corpsmembers, and to place corpsmembers individually in projects or organize them in teams. For suggestions on program models, The Principles for High Quality National Service Programs, offers a wide array of program examples. Applicants may request a copy of this publication from MCSC. Please note: The CNS and the MCSC believe that it is important that programs instill the ethic of service in their corpsmembers while making demonstrable impacts on communities. Accordingly, the CNS and the MCSC will not fund any programs whose primary purpose is job training or education for the corps members rather than service to the community. 2 �a. Preferences The MCSC has designated certain types of national service program models for priority consideration. During the MCSC's selection process, a program that incorporates one or more of the following approaches will be given a preference over other programs that do not. 1) Program Focus Model MCSC is seeking applications that focus activities within a single priority area (education, environment, health/human needs, or public safety). This single focus area may connect service sites across a community or across the state in a common cause. The benefit of this approach is in its ability to ensure that different partners from different sites share the same goals and objectives which makes measuring accomplishments more efficient. In addition, this type of program makes it easier to achieve significant impacts for service; to create a strong sense of program identity (both with Michigan's AmeriCorps and locally); and to be cost-effective - all of which are critical program elements. 2) Compact Administrative Structure Model The compact administrative structure model ensures that corpsmembers, volunteers, and staff serve in the same organization, sharing in the same program culture. This structure, which is a basic corps model, ensures that staff, corpsmembers, and volunteers serve under the same supervisors, meet in weekly meetings, share the same 'home base' location, and participate together in member development and training activities. This model ensures program unity, thus enabling a program to provide multi-focused services. This model could be used in a single community or regionally. 3) Volunteer Generator Model MCSC encourages programs to involve members in creating and managing strategies to involve citizen volunteers in helping to meet community needs. If programs propose using the volunteer generator model, MCSC expects them to have every member generate at least 10 non-stipended volunteers. Beyond leveraging additional volunteers, programs should collaborate with existing service efforts (including other national service programs such as Learn and SERVE programs, AmeriCorps*VISTA, Foster Grandparent Program, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, and Senior Companion Program). Collaborating with other service programs and the generation of additional volunteers is a way to significantly enhance program results. b. Summer Component Programs may operate summer programs but only as a component of their year-round program or to expand their operations during the summer months. Programs must ensure that a summer component is consistent with the overall mission of the program, is not designed as separate from the year-round operation, and instills the ethic of service in the Michigan's AmeriCorps members. Any corpsmembers added for a summer component must complete a minimum of 300 service hours. The 3 �education award will be pro-rated based on the $4,725 amount for 1,700 hours of service. 3. Program Size Programs must be large enough to achieve a demonstrable impact on the community served. Thus, while the actual size of each program may vary depending on the size of the community it operates in, the design of the program, and other factors, applicants are required to enroll at least ten (1 0) full-time equivalent corpsmembers. In addition, MCSC encourages new applicants not to apply for more than 20 full-time equivalent members. Applicants should evaluate their present infrastructure and capacity when considering program size. Applicants are encouraged, when considering program size, to examine cost-effectiveness by calculating the recommended cost per corpsmember (see "Budget"). 4. Grant Size Grant requests may vary in size depending on the type and scope of a proposed program. Applicants are allowed flexibility in developing their budgets, but within certain limitations. No program funded through the MCSC formula allotment shall receive more than 20% of Michigan 's total formula funding from the CNS. For the 2000 Application year that figure is estimated not to exceed $520,000. Therefore, applications being submitted should not request more than $520,000 from the MCSC. In addition, MCSC has set a target of $11,700 for the average federal cost per full-time equivalent member for each Michigan' s AmeriCorps program. Individual program cost effectiveness will be assessed against the $11 ,700 figure. Programs will not be penalized for exceeding the target, however, MCSC strongly encourages that programs consider this as an essential element of quality and cost effectiveness. Regardless, no individual program funded by MCSC may propose a CNS share that exceeds $13,000 per full-time equivalent member. 5. Match Requirements Substantial cash and in-kind matches are required from the applicant. Program costs (i.e. staff salaries, training, equipment, administration, uniforms, etc.) require at least a 33% cash or in-kind match. Programs may use other federal funds (as long as they are not other Corporation for National Service funds) as part of their 33% match. Corpsmember support costs (i.e. living allowance, FICA, workers compensation, and health care) require at least a 15% non-federal cash match. The 1999 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs provided an average cash match of22% of the member support costs and an inkind match of 58% of the other program costs. In Michigan, you can estimate that the cash match is approximately $2,000 per corpsmember (this is excluding child care and education awards which are funded totally by CNS). Applicants must specifically identify the source and levels of the cash and in-kind matches. Applicants are not required to attain the cash or in-kind matches prior to submission of the application, but should, however, have the commitment(s) for the financial match prior to the start of the grant. 6. Eligible Applicants Education institutions (local school districts, Intermediate School Districts, colleges and universities, etc.), local government entities, state agencies and nonprofit organizations 4 �that have their 501(c)3 status and have been in existence for at least 3 years are eligible to apply for a Michigan's AmeriCorps program. C. Michigan's AmeriCorps Goals Michigan's AmeriCorps funds and supports quality programs that get things done, encourage responsibility, expand opportunities and strengthen communities. AmeriCorps members undertake service that has a maximum impact on Michigan's communities and would not be provided without the service of AmeriCorps members and volunteers. 1. Getting Things Done a. Direct Benefit Corpsmembers serving in Michigan's AmeriCorps programs must meet education, public safety, human and environmental needs in the community served, and provide a direct and demonstrable benefit that is valued by the community. Project activities must provide specific measurable service outcomes that otherwise would not be provided with existing funds or volunteers, and that do not duplicate the routine functions of existing workers or displace paid employees. Activities that do not provide a direct benefit to the community, such as clerical work, research or fund raising, may be performed only if they directly support the service provided by the program. Such activities may never be the primary activity of a Michigan's AmeriCorps program. For example, a program may use a team of AmeriCorps members to provide meals, transporation, and health services to the homebound and might need to conduct a door-to-door survey of community residents to help identify those in need of this service. Because the survey is necessary to provide the services, AmeriCorps members can be involved with it. b. Issue Area Priorities All Michigan's AmeriCorps programs must address one of the following priority issues areas: education, public safety, human needs, or the environment. Listed below are examples of activities that fall within each priority area. Education Such as: • Improving the quality and availability of child development programs by working in day care, Head Start centers and preschool programs. • Teaching literacy and other basic skills to parents of young children so that they can help their children learn. • Working in schools with high concentrations of low-income students. 5 �• Mentoring, tutoring, and providing after-school, summer and work-place learning opportunities for children and youth. • Coordinating service-learning activities for K-12 students. Environment Such as: • Revitalizing neighborhoods by creating and maintaining recreation areas, green spaces and community gardens, and by making public areas clean and safe. • Eliminating environmental risks, especially those that affect children and youth, such as lead poisoning and radon exposure, through education, testing, and cleanup. • Reducing waste through energy efficiency efforts, and promoting recycling and other conservation measures. • Conserving, restoring, and sustaining lands, forests, rivers, streams, and wetlands . • Making parks more accessible through trail maintenance and infrastructure improvements. • Sampling, mapping, monitoring, and recording air and water quality and the status of groundwater, land, plant and animal resources. Human Needs Such as: • Offering prenatal care, parenting education, and health care to families of young children. • Improving the health of low-income communities by offering preventative health service through community health clinics and immunization programs targeting families with children as a priority. • Providing independent living assistance and health care to homebound elderly, people with disabilities, and people living with HIV/AIDS . • Helping people who are homeless by providing shelter support, assistance in moving into permanent housing, and related services. • Renovating and rehabilitating low-income housing, particularly family units . 6 �• Helping individuals move from public assistance into self-sufficiency by providing job training, literacy tutoring, and other services. Public Safety Such as: • Enhancing community policing efforts by working with local law enforcement to address crimes committed by youth. • Reducing specific crime problems such as drug dealing, domestic violence, crimes motivated by bias, crimes against senior citizens, and child abuse. • Improving services available for victims of crime, and strengthening innovative criminal justice programs, such as neighborhood courts and community restitution. • Reducing crime against children and youth by making schools safe, creating safe havens, and involving youth in conflict resolution and prevention efforts. • Providing substance abuse counseling and education . • Developing specific crime prevention strategies targeted at key locations such as playgrounds, public transportation points, and other public gathering places. 2. Developing Michigan's AmeriCorps Members Although programs may choose to develop their members in different ways, all programs must include the following components: a. Citizenship Programs must help members develop, through their service experiences, the ethic and skills needed for productive, active citizenship. Programs should thoughtfully employ service-learning or other education methods in order to develop members' skills in solving community problems, and to cultivate a lifelong ethic of personal, family, and community responsibility. Because voting is an important component of citizenship, every program must encourage, in a non-partisan manner, each member who is eligible to register to vote. b. Training, Education, and Supervision Programs must provide members with the supervision, training, skills, and knowledge . necessary to perform the tasks required in their respective projects. In fulfilling this requirement, programs should provide members with background information on the community to help them understand why the service projects are needed. Programs may also provide, if appropriate, specific training in a particular field, including training and education designed to help members explore career possibilities in areas such as child development, teaching, public health, or public safety. Programs must 7 �also agree to provide all members training in certified CPR, conflict resolution, and communication. Programs must also designate individuals who will supervisor the members on a regular basis. The supervisors should be located at the site(s) where the members are serving and available on a daily basis. c. Support Services Programs must provide support services that help members who have not completed their secondary education to earn the equivalent of a high school diploma. Programs are also encouraged to assist members who are completing a term of service to make the transition to other education and career opportunities. d. Required Training and Service Hours In general, members must devote at least 80 percent of the required hours to direct service and no more than 20 percent to education, training, or other approved nondirect service activities during a full-time or part-time term of service. This ratio applies to the overall program and not to each individual member. This will allow variance among the individual members and takes into consideration variations in the education and developmental needs of members. If a program exceeds the 1700 hour minimum, the additional hours do not fall under these guidelines. e. Leadership Opportunities MCSC and CNS encourages programs to build member leadership capacity by providing opportunities for members to coordinate activities, recruit volunteers, and serve in team leader capacities in their programs. Please note, however, that members should not be assigned as the primary legal supervisors of other members, and they should not be placed in roles where they can provide no direct service. 3. Strengthening Communities Michigan's AmeriCorps programs must strengthen communities by bringing together both individuals and institutions to achieve lasting community change. There are four basic components that should be present in the description of strengthening communities: a. Mobilizing Community Assets to Meet Community Needs Programs should identify needs and mobilize the assets, capacities, and abilities of the community. Identifying the variety and richness of skills, talents, knowledge, and experience of people, associations, and institutions in communities provides a base upon which to build new approaches and enterprises. b. Generating Volunteers Programs should involve members in creating and managing strategies to involve citizen volunteers in helping meet community needs. Leveraging volunteers and linking with other existing service efforts (including other national service programs) is a significant way to enhance program results and to build community capacity. c. Community Involvement and Consultation _ Local participation in service efforts is vital to developing effective programs, and to 8 �sustaining and building Michigan' s communities. Projects should be designed, implemented, and evaluated, with extensive and broad-based community input, through consultation with representatives from the community served, members in the program, appropriate community-based agencies, foundations, businesses, local labor organizations, and local government. Programs should also work to build community partnerships, which can provide opportunities for programs to share technical expertise and contribute resources with other community groups. The full range of associations -civic, education, religious, social service, labor, and business-should be invited to use community service as an opportunity to work together in the common work of community development. d. Diversity Programs should build strong communities by engaging diverse members and staff in service activities and encouraging mutual understanding and cooperation. Programs must actively seek to include members and staff from the communities in which projects are conducted, as well as individuals of different races and ethnicities, education levels, socioeconomic backgrounds, gender, and individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities. Programs that lack one or more aspects of a diverse program should strive for diversity in other ways. All programs should undertake activities that will provide opportunities for citizens who might not otherwise serve, work, or learn together to do so. In addition, programs are encouraged to bring together younger and older adults as members. D. Prohibited Service While charging time to a Michigan's AmeriCorps program, accumulating service or training hours, or otherwise engaged in activities associated with the AmeriCorps program or the MCSC, staff and members may not engage in the following activities: 1. Any effort to influence legislation, as prohibited under §501 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C . 501); 2. Organizing or participating in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; 3. Assisting, promoting, or deterring union organizing; 4. Impairing existing contracts for services or collective bargaining agreements; 5. Engaging in partisan political activities, or other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to any public office; 6. Participating in, or endorsing, events or activities which are likely to include advocacy for or against political parties, political platforms, political candidates, proposed legislation, or elected officials; 9 �7. Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instructions as part of a program that includes mandatory religious education or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization; 8. Providing a direct benefit to (1) a business organized for profit, (2) a labor union, (3) a partisan political organization, (4) an organization engaged in the religious activities described in the preceding sub-clause, unless grant funds are not used to support the religious activities; (5) a nonprofit organization that fails to comply with the restrictions contained in §50l{c) ofTitle 26. 9. Conducting voter registration drives; 10. Organized fund raising, including fmancial campaigns, endowment drives, solicitation of gifts and bequests, and similar activities designed for the sole purpose of raising capital or obtaining contributions for the organization. 11. Clerical work, research, or fund raising activities unless such activities are incidental to the members direct service. Individuals may exercise their rights as private citizens and may participate in the above activities on their initiative, on non-AmeriCorps time, and using nonCorporation funds . The AmeriCorps logo should not be worn while doing so. Applicants should specify the actions that will be taken to ensure that members do not engage in improper activities. Suggestions for how to comply with this requirement include signing a certification that contains a list of prohibited activities, including the list of prohibited activities in member training manuals and adding a clause to member contracts that prohibit them from engaging in such activities. E. Member Eligibility, Recruitment, and Selection 1. Term of Service Programs may engage members on a full- or part-time basis. Full-time members must serve at least 1,700 hours during a period of not less than nine months and not more than one year. Part-time members must serve at least 900 hours during a period of one year. Although the Corporation allows for reduced part-time members (members that serve between 300 to 900 hours in a given year), MCSC is not looking to fund such programs this year. However, programs may engage summer members who serve at least 300 hours between May and August. 2. Member Eligibility At the time of enrollment in a Michigan's AmeriCorps program, members must: (1) be at 10 �least 17 years of age; (2) possess a high school diploma or its equivalent, or agree to obtain a high school diploma or equivalent prior to using the education award; (3) not have dropped out of elementary or secondary school in order to emoll as a member; (4) be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national or lawful permanent resident alien; and (5) meet the task-related eligibility requirements established by the program. 3. Eligibility for a Second Term An individual may receive an education award only for the first and second terms of service in approved AmeriCorps positions. In addition, there are strict limits on the use of federal funds to support an individual serving in a third, or subsequent term. While members may, in some cases, serve more than one term, mere eligibility for an additional term of service does not, however, guarantee selection or placement. A member's eligibility for a second term of service must be based on at least a mid-term and end-ofterm evaluation of the member's performance, that demonstrates, but is not limited to : (1) completion of required number of hours; (2) satisfactory completion of assignments, tasks or projects; and (3) satisfactory performance criteria that were clearly communicated both orally and in writing at the beginning of the term of service. 4. Selection Michigan's AmeriCorps members will be selected by the individual program, and the selection criteria will vary among different programs. However, programs must select members in a non-partisan, non-political, non-discriminatory manner. Programs must establish minimum qualifications for members related to the service they will provide, including the successful completion of an AmeriCorps orientation period. Programs must ensure that they do not displace any existing paid employees. Programs with members who will have substantial direct contact with children (as defined by State law) or who perform service in the homes of children or individuals considered vulnerable by the program, shall, to the extent permitted by State and local law, conduct criminal record checks on these members as part of the screening process. MCSC encourages programs to select members who possess leadership potential and a commitment to the goals of the national service program, regardless of education level, work experience, or economic background. MCSC also encourages programs to select some members from state and national recruitment systems in order to supplement local recruitment with people who (1) are from different backgrounds and regions of the nation, (2) have special skills or training, and (3) desire to serve but live in areas where there are few or no national service programs. F. Member Benefits 1. Living allowance a. Full-time Members Generally, all full-time corpsmembers must receive a living allowance between 11 �$9,000 and $17,808. The living allowance is considered taxable for FICA and income tax. The amount of the living allowance that may be paid using CNS and other federal funds may not exceed 85% of the minimum living allowance, or $7,650. Programs that want to provide a higher living allowance, in excess of $9,000, must provide a grantee match for all funds over $7,650. Programs must provide the same level ofliving allowance for all full-time members. b. One Year Part-time Members Part-time members completing 900 hours of service in one year could receive up to $4,765 for the year with the maximum CNS match being $4,050 ($4,765 x 85%). The $4,765 was calculated by multiplying $9,000 by (900 service hours/1700 service hours). Programs must provide the same level of living allowance for all part-time members. c. Summer Only Members Summer Only members completing a minimum of 300 hours of service are eligible to receive a living allowance ofup to $1 ,541. The CNS share must not exceed $1 ,310 ($1 ,541 x 85%). The $1 ,541 was calculated by multiplying $8,340 by (300 service hours/ 1700 service hours). 2. Exceptions to the Living Allowance a. Prior Existence If a program was in existence prior to the signing into law of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 (September 21 , 1993) there is no legal requirement that the program provide living allowances to its members. If such a program chooses to offer a living allowance, it is exempt from the minimum requirement but not from the maximum requirement. Thus, it may offer a living allowance ofbetween $0 and $17,808. If the allowance is less than $9,000, the portion that may be paid using Corporation and other federal funds may not exceed 85% of that allowance. b. Residential Program If a member is serving in a program that provides room and board, programs may request a waiver to pay the members a reduced living allowance. c. Waiver or Reduction of Living Allowance CNS may, at its discretion, waive or reduce the living allowance requirements if a program can demonstrate to the satisfaction of CNS that such requirements are inconsistent with the objectives of the program, and that members will be able to meet the necessary and reasonable costs of living (including food, housing, and transportation) in the area in which the program is located. These costs include food, housing, and transportation. 3. Education Awards Michigan's AmeriCorps members who successfully complete a term of service will 12 �receive education awards for each term up to two terms of service. The education award for full-time corpsmembers is $4,725 and the education award for part-time corpsmembers is half of that, or $2,362.50. The education award for Summer Only members will be pro-rated based on the $2,362.50 amount for 900 hours of service. The education award may be used up to seven years from completion of service to pay for any combination of ( 1) the costs of attendance at a qualified institution of higher education, (2) the costs of approved School-to-Work programs, or (3) the costs of repaying qualified student loans. Finally, corpsmembers who have qualifying outstanding students loans may be eligible to receive forbearance on their payments while they serve, but they need to contact their loan holders to receive this benefit. CNS will make payments for interest that accrues during the period of forbearance upon successful completion of a corpsmember' s term of service. 4. Child Care Programs must make child care available to any full-time eligible member who needs such assistance in order to participate in the Michigan's AmeriCorps program. CNS will fund child care directly and will pay 100% of the allowance as defined by payment rates of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG). CNS, through the National Association for Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), will provide technical assistance to programs for determining corpsmember eligibility, provider eligibility and child care allowance. NACCRRA, on behalf of CNS, will also make payments to the child care provider directly. A corpsmember's eligibility for child care is based on need. CNS defines need to be consistent with the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, as follows: a. Total family income of the member must be less than 75% of the State median income, or as defined by the State under CCDBG guidelines; b. The member must reside with and be a parent or guardian of a child under the age of13; c. At the time of acceptance into the program, the member must not be receiving child care assistance from another source, including a parent or guardian, which would continue to be provided while the member serves in the program, unless the member would become ineligible for child care by virtue of enrolling in the program; and d. The member certifies that he or she needs child care in order to participate in the program. The grantee must provide an estimate of the number of members and the number of their children needing child care, and CNS will arrange for direct payment to qualified child care providers. 13 �5. Health Care for Full-Time Members A full-time member must be provided with a basic health plan if he or she is not otherwise covered by a health care policy that provides the minimum benefits set forth below at the time he or she is accepted into a program. If, as a result of participation, or if, during the term of service, a member loses coverage through no deliberate act of his or her own, such as parental or spousal job loss, the member must be provided with a basic health plan. a. Health Care Requirements Grantees must provide health benefit coverage for eligible members as follows: (1) programs with existing health benefit policies that meet the minimum benefits may use their current health care coverage, or choose the AmeriCorps Member Health Care Policy underwritten by Allianz Life Insurance and administered by Strategic Resource Company; (2) programs that do not have health care coverage or have coverage that does not meet the minimum benefits described below must use the AmeriCorps Member Health Care Policy. Minimum benefits. The following minimum benefits must be provided or exceeded for programs with existing health benefit coverage: Covered Services physician services for illness or injury hospital room and board emergency room x-ray and laboratory prescription drugs Limited Coverage mental/nervous disorders substance abuse Annual limits Deductible: Not more than $250 per individual Coinsurance Member pays no more than 20% or alternatively, a comparable fixed fee Exception- mental and substance abuse may require a 50% co-payment Out-of-pocket Not more than $1,000 per individual Maximum Benefit At least $50,000 Programs electing to use current health plans that meet the above minimum benefit 14 �requirements will be required, at time of selection, to provide specific information on the benefits and policy. b. AmeriCorps Member Health Care Policy Organizations electing to use the AmeriCorps Member Health Care Policy must budget $924 ($785 for the CNS share, $139 for the grantee share), for each eligible member, in Section A. of the budget form . c. CNS Share of Health Care CNS will pay 85% of the cost of a policy that meets the requirements defined above and is not excessive in cost as determined by CNS. CNS will not pay any share of the cost of the policy that does not include the minimum benefits nor any share of coverage provided to any person other than the member. d. Health Care for Part-Time Members In general, CNS will not pay the costs of health benefits for part-time members except if they are serving full-time for a sustained period of time such as the summer. All other requirements for full-time health care coverage apply to these part-time members. 6. Reasonable Accommodations for Disabilities Programs must provide reasonable accommodation to known mental and physical disabilities of otherwise qualified members, service recipients, applicants, and program staff. All selections and project assignments must be made without regard to the need to provide reasonable accommodation. By far, the vast majority of accommodations are inexpensive. For those limited cases where reasonable accommodations are more costly, there is money available to provide accommodations for members. G. Member Release and Grievance Procedures Programs may release members for two reasons: (1) for compelling personal circumstances; or (2) for cause, as defined in the National and Community Service Act of 1990, as amended (42 U.S.C. 12593(c)) and in CNS's regulations (45 C.P.R. Chapter XXV, Section 2522.230) and by the program's member contract. Programs must establish written guidelines, to be incorporated into the member contract, that explain the circumstances under which members will be released for cause. Programs are required by law to release for cause any member who is convicted of a felony during a term of service. In addition to the circumstances mandated by law, programs may include in the guidelines their own reasons for releasing members for cause. Programs must establish a grievance procedure for members who believe that they have been unfairly released and for other grievances expressed by members or interested parties. The procedures must include an opportunity for hearing and binding arbitration within statutory deadlines. CNS and MCSC encourage programs to establish an alternative dispute resolution procedure, such as mediation. A model grievance procedure is available from MCSC. 15 �H. Internal Evaluation and Continuous Improvement Every Michigan's AmeriCorps program must develop a system that allows them to evaluate and monitor their own activities. They must collect and organize data on an ongoing basis. Each program must: • • • • develop annual program impact objectives that are tangible and measurable; track progress toward accomplishing those annual objectives; institute management procedures that provide regular "customer feedback" that will be used to improve program quality; and collect additional descriptive and demographic data (e.g. member summary forms , local program information, etc.). Programs must cooperate with CNS, MCSC, and its evaluators in all monitoring and evaluation efforts, including in-depth studies of selected programs. Additionally, programs must collect and submit to CNS the following data: (1) information on members including the total number of members in the program, and the number of members by race, ethnicity, gender, age, economic background, education level, disability classification, geographic region, and marital status; and (2) information on services conducted in areas classified as empowerment zones (or redevelopment areas), in areas that are environmentally distressed, in areas that are adversely affected by reductions in defense spending, and in areas that have an unemployment rate greater than the national average. I. National and State Identity 1. Identification To help promote a national identity for all AmeriCorps programs and members, programs must agree to identify the program, through the use of the AmeriCorps logos, common member application materials, and other means, as part of a larger state and national effort. The programs must also agree to participate in other activities such as a local opening ceremony (including the administration of a national pledge or affirmation), orientations, service days, and conferences. A Michigan's AmeriCorps program may continue to use its own name, logo, or other identifying materials in addition to, but not in lieu of, the AmeriCorps name and logo. In an effort to increase the visibility of Michigan's AmeriCorps members, programs are required to provide them with a standard AmeriCorps uniform. Uniform items may range from a pin appropriate for members who need to wear professional clothing at the service site to full gear appropriate for construction or other work. Programs wishing to use uniforms other than the standard AmeriCorps uniform may do so. However, programs may request no more than $68 per member ($33 for the standard uniform and $35 for additional unifonn items). 16 �2. Start of Operations Programs must agree to begin terms of service in October and/or January. The program must establish no more than three class start dates (the first class beginning in either October or January) in which members may be enrolled. Creating "classes" of members who begin and "graduate" from their terms of service at the same time will help create a national identity. If programs lose Michigan's AmeriCorps members between "classes," they may not replace the member until the next class start date. MCSC prohibits rolling admissions. Programs may not enroll members after the second quarter of their program. If programs experience attrition in the third quarter and beyond they are not permitted to replace these corpsmembers. J. Federal Financial Management and Grant Administration Requirements As with all Federal grant programs, it is the responsibility of all AmeriCorps programs to ensure appropriate stewardship of federal funds entrusted to them . Under the CNS regulations, all programs must maintain financial management systems that provide accurate, complete, and current disclosure of the financial results of the AmeriCorps program. To meet this requirement, programs must have adequate accounting practices and procedures, internal controls, audit trails, and cost allocation procedures. As of June 30, 1996, recent revisions to the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133 require all organizations to have fmancial audits if they annually expend $300,000 or more under federal awards. This requirement applies to the organization's total expenditures each fiscal year under all of its federal awards, not just an AmeriCorps grant. K. Other Requirements 1. Program Monitoring Responsibilities Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the grant activities to assure they are in compliance with applicable Federal requirements and achieve their performance goals. Monitoring must include each project site, function and/or activity. Programs are responsible for ensuring high quality standards including having a significant impact on the identified community need, ensuring members complete the required number of hours in the appropriate time frame, ensuring members are not performing prohibited activities, and ensuring member activities are consistent with those described in the approved application. Each program should develop systems for close tracking and monitoring of these issues. A number of factors may make monitoring a challenge for programs. These include individual placements, programs that are spread out geographically and programs that attempt to address many issues areas at once. Programs that experience these challenges should specifically address in their applications specific strategies for monitoring. Specific strategies for monitoring may include: recruiting and enrolling members who 17 �can work independently; providing appropriate orientation and ongoing training and a means of regular communication; selecting strong host sites and ensuring strong support from direct line supervision of members; establishing contracts with host sites that clear articulate the roles of each party, and narrowing the range of tasks members perform to make monitoring easier. 2. Program Reporting Michigan's AmeriCorps programs must comply with all reporting required by MCSC including quarterly progress reports, monthly expenditure reports, member hour tracking forms, continuous improvement surveys, and corpsmember emollment, termination and end-of-term-of-service forms . Programs are required to use MCSC ' s Web Based Reporting System for all aspects of reporting. 3. Michigan's AmeriCorps Program Directors' Meetings Michigan's AmeriCorps program directors or an approved representative must attend the regularly scheduled program directors' meetings (usually 10 per year.) 4. MCSC Trainings and Special Events Michigan's AmeriCorps staff and members must participate in all MCSC sponsored program trainings and service events, including the annual Michigan's AmeriCorps Signature Service Project. 5. AmeriCorps on the Internet Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are required to have Internet e-mail capability and to subscribe to the AmeriCorps listserve run by the National Service Resource Center at ETR Associates. To facilitate this process, programs may budget up to $250 to defray expenses for gaining on-line capacity (e.g., purchase of a modem, subscription to an online service or internet provider.) 18 �II.

Getting Things Done (30%) • Clearly describe the need in the community that the proposal is being 19 �• • • • written to and how that need was identified. Describe the overall design and structure of the program, including the number of sites, the number ofmembers in the program, and how the members are assigned to the sites. Also, indicate the number of corpsmembers assigned to each site. Describe the specific service activities to be performed by the corpsmembers. Describe how the work done by the members will directly achieve the objectives of the program. Describe the measurable impact of the program on this need. How will the identified community need be improved as a result of the Michigan ' s AmeriCorps program? (After reading this section readers should have a clear idea of the overall program design and structure. This includes a clear description of what the proposed program intends to do, how the members' service activities will accomplish these objectives, and the anticipated impact of the members' service activities within the community.) 2. Developing Members (15%) • Provide a description ofthe number and type of full-time, part-time, and summer only corpsmembers to be recruited. • Describe the expected characteristics, attributes and skills required of the corpsmembers. • Describe the program' s recruitment strategy including selection criteria, minimum qualifications or specialized skills, measures that will be used to ensure diversity, other organizations that will be involved in the recruitment process and plans to use the national recruitment referral system. • Describe the key elements of member training that will prepare them for and support them in their service. • Describe how the program will provide leadership opportunities for members. • Describe how the host sites/service sponsors will be prepared for placement of corpsmembers and how members will be placed and regularly supervised. Include information on the host sites/service sponsors orientation to AmeriCorps and the local program's mission and objectives. • Describe how the program will develop member ethic of service and civic responsibility. • Describe how the program will ensure that the corpsmembers will not participate in prohibited AmeriCorps member activities. • Describe the benefits members will receive, especially any that will be additional to those in the program guidelines and requirements. 20 �3. Strengthening Communities (15%) • Describe the individuals and organizations involved and the role that each partner organization will play in the administration of the program. Indicate who is accountable for what and how support for Michigan's AmeriCorps will be built among the various community sectors. • Describe how the proposed program will enhance the capacity of the organizations involved. • Describe how the program will mobilize community resources in support of the program. • Describe how the program will bring together people of diverse backgrounds . • Describe how the program will involve corpsmembers in recruiting and coordinating nonstipended community volunteers • Describe how the program will link the service projects to other existing efforts, including other local CNS and MCSC funded programs, to solve community problems. B. Organizational Capacity (25%) • Describe the organization's past experience and current capacity to operate or coordinate a program comparable to the one proposed. Include the organization' s experience in addressing the identified community need. • Describe the background, experience and relevant accomplishments of the principal staff who will be accountable for this program. Describe plans to recruit, select, train and support additional staff. • Describe the size and structure of the applicant organization and the relationship of this program in that structure. • Provide overall budget figures for the organization from the past three years . • Describe the organization's financial management system . • Describe the organization's past experience administering federal grants . • Describe the systems that will be used to monitor progress toward accomplishing the program' s goals. The description need not be a comprehensive evaluation plan, but should generally describe what methods will be used to evaluate what is getting accomplished and the impact of the services. It should also include the organization's capacity to design and conduct the evaluation activities. • Describe how regular feedback will be obtained from the primary stakeholders and used to improve the overall quality of the program. C. Cost Effectiveness and Sustainability (15%) MCSC will evaluate the overall cost per full-time equivalent (FTE) member and the federal share of the FTE cost within the context of the program's impact on the community. MCSC has set a target of$11,700 for the average state cost per full-time equivalent member. Program cost effectiveness will be assessed against the $11,700 figure. Programs will not be penalized for exceeding the target, 21 �however, MCSC strongly encourages that programs consider this as an essential element of quality and cost effectiveness. Regardless, no individual program funded by MCSC may propose a CNS share that exceeds $13,000 per member. The full-time equivalent cost per member is calculated by dividing the CNS share of the total budget by the number of full-time equivalent members. For example, if an organization requested a total budget of $250,000 for 15 full-time members and 20 one year part-time members the FTE cost would be $10,000 ($250,000/25 FTE members). The FTE for Summer Only members is calculated by dividing the number of service hours by 1,700 service hours. The 1999 Michigan's AmeriCorps programs provided an average cash match of 22% ofthe member support costs and an in-kind match of 58% ofthe other program costs. MCSC will assess all new applicants against the current match percentages. • In this section, provide information that demonstrates efforts to build • • community support, both financially and programmatically. Describe how the applicant will meet the financial match requirements. Describe what plans exist to exceed the match and how the work of the program will continue beyond the grant term. * * The quality and completeness of the budget form and budget narrative and the quality of the narrative cost-effectiveness section will both be considered when scoring the cost-effectiveness component of the application. ** 4. Budget Form, Budget Narrative, and Budget Checklist Budget Form Applicants must submit the budget form located in the Appendix. The instructions for completing the budget form are also located in the Appendix. Budget Narrative Please complete and attach a detailed budget narrative that is organized in the same order as the budget form and clearly identifies the requested CNS and grantee share.

Review and Selection The review and selection of the Michigan's AmeriCorps applications is a multiple-step process as described below. 1. Interested applicants must submit an Intent to Apply form on November 19, 1999. 2. Interested applicants must submit a Michigan ' s AmeriCorps application by 5:00p.m. on November 30, 1999. 3. Applications will be reviewed by a panel of external peer reviewers. After the external peer review, the panel will make its recommendations based on the criteria listed in the application guidelines. 4. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) staff members will review the applications for requirements, priorities, and preferences (as detailed in the application guidelines). The staff will also consider: • Geographic diversity - MCSC will ensure that the programs recommended for funding are geographically diverse and include projects in urban and rural areas. • Geographic concentration- MCSC may recommend for funding programs that will enable it to test the effect of concentrating a critical mass of participants in a specific geographic area. • Diversity - MCSC seeks to fund a broad range of programs with various approaches to addressing community need. 5. Applicants will be notified if their application has been selected to proceed to the next step in the application process. If the application is selected, representatives from the applicant organization are required to attend a oneday technical assistance workshop on December 13, 1999.

The budget should be sufficient to perform the tasks described in the proposal narrative. It should not contain unexplained amounts for miscellaneous or contingency costs or unallowable line items such as entertainment costs. A budget form and budget narrative must accompany your application. BUDGET NARRATIVE It will be easier to complete the budget narrative first, using the line items on the budget form as a guide, then transferring the totals to the budget form. The budget narrative should be organized in the same order as the budget form and clearly identify the requested CNS share and grantee share. The grantee shares in specific items should meet at least the minimum requirements as in the application guidelines. The budget narrative must be completed for both funds requested from the CNS and for other federal/state/local/private funds. It should show whether the grantee share is in-kind or cash and whether the cash match comes from other federal versus non-federal funds. For each of the line items contained on the budget form, a full explanation must be provided in the budget narrative that explains the item, its purpose, and shows how the cost was calculated-- please use an equation format where appropriate. For example, travel should be broken down into discrete components, then equations prepared showing the number of anticipated trips, the number of travelers, and the estimated cost. Narrative Sample CNS Share Grantee Travel to State Commission Workshop: 2 staffx (2 days x $120 per diem)+ mileage (150 miles x .25 mile)= $517.50 $317.50 $200.00 CPR Training for corpsmembers: 100 members x $50 = $5,000 Staff 1 Program Director 10%@ 35,000 = $3,500 (Overall program management) $517.50 $3,000 $2,000 $5,000 $3,000 $500 $3,500 2 Project Coordinators $34,000 $6,000 $40,000 100% @ $20,000 = $40,000 (Provide daily supervision to members, training, monitoring, progress reports) Compliance with Federal Legal Requirements Programs must comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and OMB Circulars for grant management, allowable costs, and audits. 27 �AMERICORPS Please anach the budget narrari,·e ro chis page.

OMS Number: 3045.00~7 �BUDGET FORM All budget items listed in Item A must have, at a minimum, a 15% cash match. Except for health care, matches cannot be made with other Federal funds. Funds received under P.L.638 for tribal self-determination are allowable as non-federal match. Item A: Member Support Costs LIVING ALLOWANCE On the budget form, state the number of corpsmembers who will be receiving a living allowance in each of the appropriate categories as determined by the number of service hours they expect to complete in the year (e.g. 20 full-time, 10 one-year part-time). Full-Time Members Generally, all full-time corpsmembers must receive a living allowance between $9,000 and $17,808. CNS will fund only 85% of the minimum living allowance amount ($9,000 x 85 %), or $7,650. Programs that want to provide a higher living allowance in excess of $9,000 must provide a grantee match for all funds over $7,650. For example, a program desiring to provide a $10,000 living allowance to its members would have to provide $2,350 match if it requested the maximum CNS match of$7,650. Note this $2,350 match must be cash and come from non-federal sources. One Year, Part-Time Members Part-time members completing 900 hours of service in one year may receive up to $4,765 for the year with the maximum CNS match being $4,050 ($4,765 x 85%). The $4,765 was calculated by multiplying $9,000 by (900 service hours/1700 service hours). Summer Only Members Summer Only members completing 300 hours may receive $1 ,541 with the maximum CNS share not to exceed $1,310 ($1 ,541 x 85%). The $1 ,541 was calculated by multiplying $8,730 by (300 service hours/1700 service hours). The living allowance for Summer Only members completing more than 300 hours of service should be calculated by multiplying $8,730 by(# of service hours/ 1700 service hours). FICA All programs must pay FICA for any corpsmember receiving a living allowance. The program ' s share ofFICA should be calculated at 7.65% of the total amount of the living allowance and must be prorated in the same proportion as the CNS and Grantee match. For example, a grantee providing $9,000 to its full-time corpsmembers with CNS providing an 85% match ($7,650) and the grantee providing a 15% match ($1 ,350) would provide a FICA match of $103 ($1 ,350 x 7.65%) while CNS would provide a FICA match of $585 ($7,650 x_7 .65%). Workers Compensation Michigan requires Workers Compensation for Michigan' s AmeriCorps members. Programs must check with their insurance carrier or the Michigan Department of Labor to determine the proper rate. 28 �CNS Health Care Programs without existing health coverage or with coverage that does not meet the minimum requirements must select the AmeriCorps Member Health Care Policy. The cost of this policy is currently established at $924 per full-time member. CNS will fund 85% of these expenses, or $785 per full-time member. The remaining amount must be matched in cash by the grantee. Alternative Health Care Programs with existing health benefits policies for their full-time corpsmembers that meet minimum requirements should request 85% of those funds from CNS. The remainder must be matched in cash by the grantee. CNS will not pay for spouse or dependent coverage. Other Leave this line item blank. All budget items listed in Item A. must have, at a minimum, a 15% non-federal cash match. Item B: Other Member Support Cost Include any training, education, and other costs that relate directly to the corpsmembers in this section. The applicant should budget $65 per member to attend statewide trainings. Item C: Staff The portion of staff costs that are attributed directly to the operation of a Michigan's AmeriCorps program or project through the recruitment, training, placement or supervision of corpsmembers (e.g. salaries, benefits, training and travel expenses) are allowable. Staff that are indirectly involved in the management or operation of the applicant organization may only be funded through the administrative cost section of the budget. Item D: Operational Costs that are directly related to operating the Michigan's AmeriCorps program. Travel Costs associated with transportation, lodging, and other related expenses for staff and Michigan's AmeriCorps members outside their local service site. Corporation Sponsored Meeting Each applicant must also add $2,000 to this line item to cover the cost of CNS sponsored technical assistance meetings. Supplies Funds for the purchase of supplies that would not be considered equipment and tend to be more expendable (see equipment). The applicant should budget $33 per corpsmember for the required uniform and may budget an additional $35 per member for other uniform items. Local Transportation 29 �Costs associated with traveling locally such as bus passes to local sites, mileage reimbursement for use of car, etc. Equipment Funds for the purchase of equipment are limited to 10% of the total grant amount (line items A-F.) Any single item costing more than $1,000 must be listed. Other Include in this line item Internet costs up to $250. Allowable costs in this section may include space rental (for sites where programs operate), utilities, and telephone and Internet expenses that are directly and specifically used for Michigan' s AmeriCorps members and directly involve staff. They must be equitably prorated if shared with other projects or activities. Each item should be listed and justified in the budget narrative. Item E: Internal Evaluation Costs for activities related to program evaluation, including additional staff time not otherwise budgeted, use of evaluation consultants, purchase of instrumentation and other costs specifically used for this activity. Item F: Administration No more than 5% of the total grant amount may be used to pay for administrative costs. Administrative costs means general or centralized expenses of overall administration of an organization that receives Corporation funds and does not include particular program or project costs. For organizations that have an established indirect cost rate for Federal awards, administrative costs means those costs that are included in the organization's indirect cost rate. Such costs are generally identified with the organization's overall operation and are further described in Office ofManagement and Budget Circulars A-21 , A-87, and A-122. For organizations that do not have an established indirect cost rate for Federal awards, administrative costs include: (1) costs for financial, accounting, auditing, contracting or general legal services except in unusual cases where they are specifically approved in writing by the Corporation as program costs; (2) costs for internal evaluations including overall organizational management improvement costs (except for independent and internal evaluations ofthe program that evaluations are specifically related to creative methods of quality improvement); and (3) costs for general liability insurance that protects the organization responsible for operating a program, other than insurance costs solely attributable to the program. Administrative costs may also include that portion of salaries and benefits of the program's director and other administrative staff not attributable to the time spent in support of a specific program. The principles that pertain to the allocation and documentation of personnel costs are stated in the OMB circulars that are incorporated in Corporation regulations [45 CFR 2541 .220(b)]. 30 �Administrative costs do not include allowable costs directly related to program or project operations, such as: (1) allowable direct charges for corpsmembers, including living allowance, insurance payments, and expenses for training and travel; (2) costs for staff who recruit, train, place, or supervise corpsmembers; (e.g. salaries, benefits, training and travel expenses) if the purpose is for a specific program or project. Particular costs, such as those associated with staff who perform both administrative and program functions, may be prorated between administrative and program costs if included in the budget and approved by a Michigan's AmeriCorps grant officer; (3) costs for independent evaluations and internal evaluations that cover only the funded programs or project; (4) costs, excluding those already covered in an organization's indirect cost rate, attributable to staff that work in a direct program or project support, operational, or oversight capacity, including, but not limited to: support staff whose functions directly support program and project activities; staff who coordinate and facilitate single or multi-site program and project activities; and staff who review, disseminate and implement Corporation guidance and policies directly relating to a program or project; (5) space, facility and communication costs that primarily support program operations, excluding those costs that are already covered by an organization' s indirect cost rate; and (6) other allowable costs, excluding those costs that are already covered by an organization's indirect cost rate, specifically approved by the Corporation as directly attributable to a program. Limitation by statute: the Corporation share of administrative costs cannot exceed 5% of total Corporation funds actually expended under the grant. To arrive at the Corporation maximum share of 5%, multiple the sum of Subtotal A, plus Subtotal B through E in the Corporation share column by 5.26% Fixed 5%: If approved on a case-by-case basis by the Corporation, the grantee may charge, for administrative costs, a fixed 5% of the total of the Corporation funds expended. In order to charge this fixed 5%, the grantee match for administrative costs may not exceed 10% of all direct cost expenditures. These rates may be used without supporting documentation and are in lieu of an indirect cost rate. Indirect Cost Rates: If grantees have an approved indirect cost rate, such rate will constitute documentation of the grantee's administrative costs including the 5% maximum payable by the Corporation and the grantee match of administrative costs. If a grantee wants to claim more than 10% match in administrative costs it must have or obtain an approved indirect cost rate. Where appropriate, the Corporation will establish an indirect cost rate that may be used for this and other Federal awards. Consistency of Treatment: To be allowable under an award, cost must be consistent with 31 �• policies and procedures that apply uniformly to both federally fmanced and other activities of the organization. Furthermore, the costs must be accorded consistent treatment in both federally financed and other activities as well as between activities supported by different sources of federal funds. To calculate the Corporation maximum share of 5%, multiple the sum of Subtotal A, plus Subtotal B through E in the Corporation share column by 5.26% Items B-F must be matched at least 33% by the grantee with one or more of the following sources: cash, in-kind services, other Federal funds, State funds, or other funds. Item G: Total Program Operating Costs Add Item B through F for the Corporation Request less member support costs. Item H: Total Budget Add Items A and G Item 1: Cost Per Member Programs should provide the overall average cost per member for the program year. This average will remain at $11,700 for 2000 and does not include the education award or child care. It is calculated by dividing the total Corporation funding requested from the first column, Corporation Share, of Item H, Total Budget (A+G) ofthe budget form by the number of full-time equivalent education awards. Part-time education awards should be converted to full-time education awards before determining cost per member as follows : • • Each 900 hour, one-year member= Yz full-time member Summer component members:# ofhours/1700 hours+portion of full-time member Item J: Child Care Costs Programs should estimate the number of eligible corpsmembers and children requiring child care assistance. Because CNS will fund all child care expenses for eligible corpsmembers directly, it is not requiring a dollar estimate. However, programs that can provide any of their own funds for child care, should indicate that amount in this section. These costs should not be added into any calculation. Item K: Education Awards Programs should provide the number of new full-time and part-time corpsmembers receiving education awards. These costs should not be added into any calculation. 32 �MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS COMPREHENSIVE PROPOSAL APPLICATION SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST Please review the following checklist to ensure that your application meets the submission requirements.

It just seems like we have finished one budget year and already we are in the starting process of closing out another fiscal year. The following is a small recap of the cunent issues facing the Finance and Administration Division as we wind down the previous fiscal year and gear up the new fiscal year of 2000. FY 98-99 Closeouts The year end close out process is already one month old and we will be receiving our first year end reports this week. After final close out adjustments of accounts, I will be forwarding to yo u a final close out statement. Based upon cunent projections, we have spent virtually all of our budgeted state and federal admin funds for the year. In theory, this is how it is supposed to work out, however we have rarely reached this level in past years for both funds. Increased staff costs due to filling open positions and an increase in indirect and administration charges from the Department of Career Development (MDCD) and the Department of Management and Budget (DMB) explain the increases. While the increases in charges from our oversight agencies is troubling, it is a sign of increased staff costs (charges are tied to personnel costs) and we are working with MDCD to cap the charges to a more reasonable amount. FY 2000 Budget We are in the process of fmalizing the budget for the cunent Fiscal Year (FYOO). The budget is being reconfigured to allow each division of the MCSC to have more responsibility and flexibility with their funds. While the original set up of the system and reports is taking a lot of time to create, the benefits down the line far out weight the cunent headaches. Michigan's AmeriCorps Audit We have received notice that the audit finn of Urbach, Kalm & Werlin, PC, will be doing a preaudit survey of our AmeriCorps funds. The dates for this "survey" are January 18-28, 2000. �We are in the process of filling out the pre-audit survey for the firm. MCSC will be receiving assistance during the survey from staff from the Michigan Department of Auditor General and MDCD. Timing is everything and having just finished the internal audit on the Michigan AmeriCorps program by the state will be a real advantage to MCSC during this survey. Financial Site Visits All AmetiCorps programs with the exception ofBHK in the upper peninsula have received their financial site visit. As reported in my last memo, I am very pleased at the results. Three of our programs had no concerns with the rest having between one and three areas of improvement. Not one of the issues is considered a major fmding. Due to the travel difficulties of sending a consultant up to the upper peninsula, I am going to personally visit BHK in the next couple of months. I had previously performed a site visit to BHK during their last grant year. Based upon the success and the results of having a contractor perform the visits, we feel that the process will be continued and expanded to our other grant programs in the next couple of years. Miscellaneous Issues A couple of Commissioners questioned the large amount showing on the last quarter spreadsheet in miscellaneous other. The amount under State Funds had expenditures of$56,729 and was only budgeted for $19,000. First of all, let me explain what expenses fall under the miscellaneous other Line. It includes payments that do not fit under the other line items and includes such things as payments to universities and government agencies. In this case the amount of $56,729 includes the payment of $49, 835 to the Corporation for National Service for the reimbursement of disability funds which were spent in previous years, but not for disability issues. I realize that some ofthe line items may be confusing as they relate to our spending plans and budgets within the State, however I am almost always available to answer any specific questions that you may have on individual line items. Personnel Matters We are in the process of filling a new position, the Outreach Coordinator and filling the vacant Training and Development Coordinator position. We hope to be starting the process of filling these two positions within a month. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me at (517) 335-4295 or email at grossg@state.mi. us. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
