The Meeting was called to order at 10:15 by Dave Sebastian Chair. In addition to Mr. Sebastian, other Trustees and staff in attendance were: Susan Broman Caroline Chambers Melonie Colaianne Tom Cook Ellen Crane Dave Egner John Erb Carol Goss Brenda Hunt Mark Morley Larry Moon David Page Carol Paine-McGovern Phil Peters Tom Porter Glenda Price Tessa Robertson Sterling Speirn Peggy Thompson Chris Velasquez Special Guests: Colleen Mitchell, Philanthropy Advisor & Strategist Lynn Wooten, CMF Diversity & Inclusion Scholar in Residence Jeff DeGraff, President, Competing Values & Clinical Professor of Management and Organizations at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan CMF Staff: Kimberly Burton Bill Corkill Barb Dryer Melissa Freye Mike Goorhouse Susan Howbert Dave Lindberg Donnell Mersereau Deb Palms Vicki Rosenberg I. Maximizing the value of the Board of Trustees While the staff, except for President and Trustee Rob Collier, met in a different room to discuss preparations for the new Plan of Work, Mr. Sebastian introduced Colleen Mitchell, Member of CMF's Advisory Cabinet to faci litate the morning session titled Maximizing the Value of the Board of Trustees. Ms. Mitchell first used the results of the pre-survey's initial three questions to ask the Trustees to introduce themselves by describing the role they play as a Trustee. She then reviewed, using the power point presentation, included as Attachment One to these minutes, the potential for generative work of the Board of Trustees. Ms. Mitchell used the responses to the remaining pre-survey questions in her presentation as well. Mr. Sebastian explained that the article they had been sent as part of the pre-reading The New Work of the Nonprofit Board, had been recommended by Bill Ryan from Harvard, whom several Trustees had heard present at the Annual Conference in Traverse City. �February 15, 20 II Page 2 Ms. M itchell then broke the Board into four groups to address the issues of: Board Serving As Valuable Leadership Enriching the Work of the Board Board Engagement with CMF Membership - both Retention & Recruitment Board "Modeling the Way"- Reflective Learning & Influence to Advance the Field The work of these four groups has been compiled into a list of summary recommendations by Ms. Mitchell which will be used at the March 29 Board Meeting to continue the conversation about this issue of Maximizing the Value of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Sebastian thanked Ms. M itchell for her assistance as facilitator and invited the staff to join the Board for lunch with CMF scholar in residence Professor Lynn Wooten. II. Membership Matters: A Generative Dialogue Mr. Sebastian introduced CMF's Scholar in Residence, Professor Lynn Wooten Clinical Associate Professor of Strategy and Management at the Ross School ofBusiness, University of Michigan to facilitate a discussion with the Board and staff about Membership. Her power point presentation is included as Attachment Two to these Minutes. Introducing a pyramid of engagement for membership, she invited the Board and staff in groups to respond to the question: Are the board, committees and CMF structured to support, think strategically and innovate generative practices for recruiting and retaining both current and members of the future? There was significant discussion about the current bylaw on Membership eligibility and agreement that the Governance Committee needed to consider revisions. In reviewing the current membership of CMF there was discussion about the need to balance between the larger foundations that pay the major share of dues while the largest group of members pay a much smaller percentage of the dues. Professor Wooten reminded the Board of the changes in philanthropy shared by Gabriel Kasper from The Monitor Institute at the Board Meeting and the changes taking place in the patterns of giving as a result of social media and other demographic changes. She shared examples, such as the Funders' Collaborative for Strong Latino Communities. Regretfully there was not sufficient time to engage the Board in a discussion of the new forms of philanthropy. However, in thanking Professor Wooten, Mr. Collier noted that the Governance Committee and Executive Committee would be taking action on recommendations from this Meeting and more discussion would occur at the Board Meeting on March 29 about possible structuring options for membership. III. Maximizing the value of innovation in the culture of CMF Mr. Collier introduced Jeff DeGraff, President, Competing Values and Clinical Professor of Management and Organizations at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and host of the Innovatrium to share with the Board the work of the Innovatrium and how its principles could be applied to a nonprofit membership association. Professor DeGraff introduced a �February 15, 20 II Page 3 colleague who has recently joined his team as a result of the great interest generated by his plenary presentation at the CMF Annual Conference. There was little time for questions at the completion of Professor DeGraffs presentation and Mr. Sebastian adjourned the meeting by asking each Trustee to send him an email with their one recommendation that they had not been able to offer at the meeting or may think of on their way home. The Special Board Planning Session adjourned at 3:00p.m. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Introduce the following text at the start of our National Legislative Action Coals Statement A strong and healthy charitable and philanthropic sector is vital to a prosperous nation and vibrant Michigan communities. The C ouncil of Michigan Foundations (CMF) will work with the Council on Foundations and other national partners and our Michigan Congressional Delegation to ensure that any reforms to the tax code affirm the importance of the charitable sector by enhancing federal and state laws that encourage individuals and corporations to support charity and philanthropy through charitable contributions. CMF supports fiscal responsibility at all levels of government and seeks to ensure that changes to the federal and state tax codes reduce complexity, administrative burdens and financial limitations that inhibit or limit charitable institutions in Michigan and nationwide from effectively and efficiently pursuing their charitable missions. Explanation: There has been significant concern expressed by our national partner organizations and others about the desire of the Obama Administration to place a new limit on the charitable deductions. Maintaining the current law on charitable deductions in 2010 is considered success by the Council on Foundations. II. Replace Goal six Monitor the proposed Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act (H.R. 5533) in the National Legislative Action Goals with Support Rural Philanthropy. �Government Relations Page 2 Explanation: With the change in leadership in the Congress, the interest in the Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act has waned and it is not expected to be reintroduced in the 11ih Congress. However, rural areas face critical challenges as inter-generational wealth transfers threaten to siphon much needed resources away from the community. CMF supports the Council on Foundation's position to seek investment of existing federal resources through the creation of a program within the US Department of Agriculture or other appropriate Federal Agencies to provide challenge grants and capacity building grants to build rural endowments to benefit economically distressed rural counties. With Congress scheduled to write a new Farm Bill in 2011 and Senator Stabenow Chairing the Senate Agriculture Committee, we w ill engage with the Congress and the Administration to determine the best options to advance the growth of philanthropy in rural America. This could include legislative language and/or Congressional directives to USDA. Meetings held with Senator Stabenow and her staff at Foundations on the Hill confirmed her support with this effort. Update on Community Foundation Tax Credit In addition, enclosed is a memo to the Executive Committee detailing efforts to implement Goal One of the State Legislative Action goals - to monitor administration of and support changes in the state tax code to continue the permanent community foundation tax credits for individuals, families and businesses. The action item of retaining Public Sector Consultants for an amount not to exceed $9,000 was approved by the Executive Committee because it supports this Goal. This issue was discussed on our March 1 Government Relations Committee Call in preparation for the Foundations on the Hill visits, and there was consensus that it was important for CMF to take the necessary steps to inforn1 the legislature about the value of the Community Foundation Tax Credit. It is important to remind ourselves that everyone who participates in Foundations on the Hill within the last three years is considered a member of CMF's Government Relations Committee However, the community foundation tax credit that was carried from the Single Business Tax to the Michigan Business Tax is also scheduled for elimination, and there does not seem to be a viable way to maintain some form of charitable incentive for the business community at this time. The Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) is concerned with ensuring the nonprofit sector can garner sufficient resources to meet their missions through enduring and diverse revenue sources, particularly as the demands for nonprofit services continue to increase. The MNA Board has taken a position that it cannot support measures that discourage giving from individuals and organizations through reductions or elimination of tax credits and other similar incentives. Report on Foundations on the Hill Also enclosed is a list of the foundation representatives who joined LaToya Morgan, Mike Goorhouse and Rob for 14 face to face meetings with Members of the Michigan Congressional �Government Relations Page 3 Delegation and three meetings with staff on March 8 and 9. I will ask Trustees Dave Sebastian, Brenda Hunt, Dave Egner and Bonnie Wenick-Kutz to share their impressions at the Board Meeting. We are pleased to share that since the Hill visits; legislation has been introduced in the Senate on two of our Goals - extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover, and simplification of the Excise Tax on private foundations to a revenue neutral number. Based on feedback from our Michigan participants, we will implement for next year talking points organized into three plans depending on whether our meeting is with a Congressperson, veteran staffer or new staff In addition to our approved Legislative Goals we included talking points on the value to Michigan of AmeriCorps and other service projects from the Corporation for Community and National Service- all proposed for elimination by the House of Representatives. We also shared that the Office of the Foundation Liaison is continuing as a resource for Governor Snyder. We were asked by the Council on Foundations to stress three key phrases in our meetings as key qualities of philanthropy: our independence, our innovations and our investments. The core message from COF is: Philanthropy's independence, innovation and investments enrich the common good and make it an integral and indispensable part of our society. In addition, we did our first ever meeting with the Governor's staff in Washington, and there was agreement that we should make this part of the regular annual schedule. The Governor's team was impressed with the number of federal agencies that Michigan foundations work directly with. Other regional associations of grantmakers are going to add meetings with their State office to their agendas as well. Legislative Accomplishments for 2010 Finally, we want to acknowledge that two of our National Action Legislative Goals were reached in the closing hours of the Lame Duck Session in December: extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover for 2010 and 2011 ; and reinstatement of an estate tax for 2011 and 2012. In addition, with the leadership of the Nonprofit Caucus, (a joint effort with the Michigan Nonprofit Association) in the State Legislature, Goals two- simplification of the Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act; and Goal Three- exempting youth volunteer activities from work permit requirements, were both signed into law in the closing hours of the Granholm Administration in December. The Nonprofit Caucus has been strengthened in the new Legislature in Lansing with four co-chairs in both the House and Senate. In sum, we made progress in 2010 with our Legislative Goals, and we are offto a good start in 2011. However, the Governor's proposed elimination of all charitable tax credits in the proposed budget starting October 1, 2011, coupled with the election of 62 new state legislators, means we have much to do this year. �Foundations on the Hill Participants March 8 & 9, 2011 Ms. Cindy Allison Vice President Comerica Bank Ms. Janet Bauer President & CEO Four County Community Foundation Ms. Carolyn Bloodworth & Ms. Taylor Dunn Secretaryffreasurer Consumers Energy Foundation Mr. Robert C ollier President & CEO Council of Michigan Foundations Ms. Martha Darling Trustee - Vice Chair Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Mr. David Egner President and CEO Hudson-Webber Foundation Mr. Robin Ferriby Vice President Philanthropic Services Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan Mr. Harry Gaggos Public Policy Fellow The Skillman Foundation Mr. M ike Goorhouse Private Foundations Coordinator Council of Michigan Foundations Mr. William Hanson Director of Communications & Technology The Skillman Foundation Ms. Brenda Hunt President & CEO Battle Creek Community Foundation Ms. Susan Kat.z Froning Corporate Secretary and General Counsel W.K.

The first recommendation is to change Section 2 Application of Article 1 Membership as recommended for consideration from the November 16, 2010 Meeting of the Executive Committee. The second recommendation is to change Section 1 Eligibility of Article 1 Membership as a result of discussions at the February 15, 2011 Board Meeting. RESOLVED that changes to Section 2 Application and Section 1 Eligibility of Article 1 Membership of the Bylaws of the Council of Michigan Foundations as recommended by the Governance Committee be approved. Section 2. Application. Any eligible organization, as defined by the Board approved membership criteria, which makes application to the corporation shall become a member upon approval ofits application by the President and compliance with Section 3. Any organization which makes application to the corporation but is not eligible under the Board approved membership criteria may become a member upon approval ofits application by the Board of Trustees and compliance with Section 3. Section 1. Eligibility. Any charitable organization, foundation, trust, or for profit corporation with an organized philanthropic grantmaking program which makes grants for charitable purposes in Michigan or individual who makes grants for charitable purposes in Michigan shall be eligible for membership provided the organization or individual meet Board approve membership categories and subscribe to Board approved Guiding Principles for Membership. Background Section 2 Application as detailed below currently requires that every application for Membership be approved by the Board of Trustees. This means that some applicants must wait for up to four months even if they fit an approved Membership Category. Section 3. Contributions is also noted below because of its reference in the proposed new Section 2. While no changes are proposed to Section 3, the question can be raised - does the Board want to change the setting of dues by the Board from a two thirds vote to simple majority vote? �Governance Report Page 2 Section 2. Application. Any eligible organization which makes application to the Board of Trustees shall become a member upon approval of its application by the Board of Trustees and compliance with Section 3. Section 3. Contributions. Admission to and continuation of membership shall be conditioned upon the making of such annual contributions to the corporation as shall from time to time be determined by a vote of two-thirds of the Trustees, as well as upon continued meeting of the criteria set forth in Section I. The amounts of such contributions may vary in accordance with the assets of charitable organizations and in accordance with other criteria uniformly applicable to member organizations. In considering the Section I Eligibility bylaw- the current language is included below, staff and the Governance Committee reviewed the bylaws from several other regional associations and by consensus agreed that the proposed changes should reflect parts of the bylaws of the regional associations from New York and Indiana as included below. Section 1. Eligibility. Any charitable organization, foundation or trust, a principal function of which is the making of substantial grants for charitable purposes and which either has its principal office in the State of Michigan or makes substantial grants for charitable purposes in Michigan; any corporation or other business entity which makes substantial grants for charitable purposes in Michigan; and any bank exercising trust functions and any trust company which administers charitable funds, trusts or foundations making substantial grants for charitable purposes in Michigan shall be eligible for membership. Phi lanthropy New York's bylaw regarding eligibility of members: Section 1. Qualifications and Election. Any organization or individual with an organized philanthropic program, that makes grants or contracts for charitable purposes may become a member ofthe Corporation by the vote of the members or by the vote of the Board of Directors or by staff accepting members according to procedures and standards set by the Board of Directors. Indiana Grantmakers Alliance bylaw regarding eligibility of members: Section 1 Membership. Eligibility. The Corporation shall not have members as that term is defined by Indiana Nonprofit Corporation Act of I99I. However the Corporation may have organizations, supporters, or others who pay dues and may be referred to as members for other purposes. Such membership in the Corporation is open to (1) any notfor-profit corporation or trust; a principal function ofwhich is the making ofcharitable grants and which either has its principal office in the State ofIndiana or makes substantial grants for charitable purposes in Indiana; or (2) any for-profit corporation which makes grants for charitable purposes in Indiana. The Board may from time to time further define the criteria for membership. �Governance Report Page 3 The Committee agreed that its next step will be to review the existing Membership Categories as summarized in the following list. This list will be compared to data on Membership Categories of other regional associations of grantmakers highlighted in the enclosed chart. The Committee will then report back to the Board at its next meeting on proposed changes to the current Categories. Current Membership Categories I. Corporate a. Corporate Foundation b. Corporate Giving Program II. Private a. Family Foundation b. Independent Foundation c. Operating Foundation III. Public a. Public Foundation - Non Community Foundation b. Public Foundation Donor Advised Fund c. Public Foundation Supporting Organization d. Community Foundation e. Community Foundation Affiliate IV. Individuals I Associates V. Out-of-State Associate Class of2014 In addition, the Committee reviewed the Class of 2014 and detennined that 6 of the nine Trustees are term limited. As a result it agreed that the enclosed Board Matrix, developed as a result for a recommendation from Trustee Ellen Crane, will be used as a tool for identifying potential new Trustees. �NAME FOUNDATION TYPE STAFF/ TRUSTEE LOCATION IN Ml CORE COMPETENCIES " ~ a ~ ·c ·c "' 3 Q. ?: ·c ~ E E 0 u ""' "' i"' Ci Ci "0 " 3 ~ c. u u :g Q. 1.

Enclosed is a one page summary of the recommendations/summary points provided by Colleen with edits by Rob, from the four group discussions at the February 15 Board Meeting in Ann Arbor that tackled the four issues of: • Board Serving as Valuable Leadership • Enriching the Work of the Board • Board Engagement with CMF Membership • Board Modeling the Way to Advance the Field In addition, on the reverse side of the page is a list of the ideas submitted by six Trustees since that meeting in response to our request to give us "the one idea that you do not want to lose." We have already made progress on this list of recommendations, for example at the Board Meeting time has been allocated as well to revisit the Goals on the proposed Plan of Work. However, we would like to have the Board break into four groups again to discuss these key points and identify from the list or add to it the top two that could be the Board' s Plan of Work for 2011. As background we have included behind the one page summary, the power point slides that Colleen used in the Meeting on February 15 in Ann Arbor. �CMF Board of Trustees Meeting, February 15,2011 "Generative" Feedback from Small Group Discussions Recommendations for Board Action Group One: Board Serving As Valuable Leadership • • • • Revisit the Goals on the Plan of Work- spend time at the Board meetings to see what needs to change Clarify the difference between the Boards role and the role of the Staff in Board meetings "Relentless Prioritization" is required as we try to be all things to all people, and what are the implications when we make decisions that are focused on just one sector of our membership? Carve out time at the Board meetings to hear and mediate each other's different perspectives and trust to have a real dialogue around real issues -to produce the real work Group Two: Enriching the Work of the Board • • • • Create Trustee Job Description to provide clarity for Board member's roles and expectations on engagement and recruitment of members, such as committee service and target of recruiting new members during the trustee's board service tenure Provide targeted engagement to prospective Board members before asking someone to serve, and if they accept invitation to serve provide a "formal on-Boarding" experience Consider sub-Boards as a new construct for Board engagement; or affinity groups as a place for increased board participation How can Board members not be bombarded with information yet retain a 10,000 ft view? Group Three: Board Engagement with CMF Membership - both Retention & Recruitment • Need more effective communications to Members and Potential Members- and explore use of more technology to benefit outreach. • Our expertise is as a membership association, but does our value proposition best present that? And how do we know what our members really want? • Evaluate Membership Fee Structure, by considering charging more to larger members that use services more vs. those who just want the affiliation, or adding more tiers to structures • Should Membership recruiting activities be focused on those needed to drive our mission or those needed to generate increased revenue -or both? Group Four: Board "Modeling the Way"- Reflective Learning & Influence to Advance the Field • • • Have more time at Board meetings for dialogue and decision making around the key issues As CMF Ambassadors, Trustees need to be prepared and ready to explain philanthropy and CMF issues and priorities The Executive Committee needs to be working more closely/actively with president & staff so there can be better focus on the top priorities Follow-up Ideas Submitted by Trustees- "the one idea they do not want to lose after today" (See list on reverse side) �CMF Board of Trustees Meeting February 15, 2011 PAGE2 "Generative" Feedback from Small Group Discussions Recommendations for Board Action Follow-up Ideas Submitted by Trustees - "the one idea they do not want to lose after today" • • • • • • • • • • Have a 15 minute small (5 to 6) Generative Interdisciplinary Group (GIG) meet for 15 minut es at each Board Meeting t o update each ot her o n t heir own constituencies- geographic and t ype of foundation Enlist expertise from other t ypes of membership associations- how they recruit and ret ain members Periodic reports to the Board on projects wou ld help maintain momentum and may reduce reporting time w hen we meet Develop a Board matrix to make sure we are "right-sized" for the o rgan ization Develop a "farm team" list of individuals ready to transition to Board membership because of t heir knowledge gained through service Commun icate that t he Executive Committee has reviewed t he items in t he Consent Agenda so more time can be applied to "generative work" Survey current members and hold focus groups as well as survey potent ial members to deter mine what keeps them from becoming members Create a new forms of philanth ropy committee Help staff reduce reduce silos and competit ion between different fou ndation categories Compile information about other regiona l associations of grantmakers to determine best practices � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The major shortfall is with the private foundations ' assets at 12-31-09 which increased less than the public charities (community foundations). The lower increase appears to be due to the alternative investments that produced lower returns compared to traditional stocks. �l-3 1- ll Internal Financia l Statements Page 2 Note 2: Additional Membership The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has awarded CMF a three year $1,350,000 grant which runs from 10-1 -10 to 9-30- 13.

Note 5: Staff Time Special Projects & Supporting Organizations The YTD variance is primarily due to the following: Kimberly's D&I Support person not hired until 1- 1- 11 D-5, MCAN & Ford Social Equity grants not budgeted ($17,300) 20,000 �l-3 1- ll Internal Financia l Statements Page 3 Note 6: Staff Time to E ndowment Funds The variance is due to the following: CF Program Associate (Haley Lamm) not hired until July 2010 YAC Program Assoc.(Breanah Alexander) less ti me on MCFYP than budgeted Single Health Insurance Coverage for Public Policy Fellow (LaToya Morgan) $6,000 5,600 4,400 Note 7: W ages The variance from budget is primarily the result of two positions that were open for part of the year.

On a quarterly basis the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and its three supporting organizations Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV), Learning to Give (LTG) and the Council of Michigan Foundations Supporting Organization, meets to review the investment performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds. CMF currently has two endowment pools the investment committee is responsible for overseeing. • The CMF Endowment Pool covers the eleven endowment funds listed in the January 31, 2010 internal financial statements. • The Learning to Give (LTG) Endowment Fund was established by a $3 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to support the work of teaching K-12 students about philanthropy. Background on Investment Strategy The early CMF endowment funds were established in 1995 using a strategy of investing the equity portion of the pool in U.S. and International index funds. In the mid 2000's the committee started comparing the returns of the CMF pool to a group of foundation, college and university endowment funds provided by Cambridge & Associates. While the asset mix for this group was significantly different from the CMF pool the committee felt a comparison to top performing institutions was an important benchmark. The ongoing analysis of the Cambridge pool led the committee to seek out other investment options, including The Investment Fund for Foundations (TIFF) and a Multi Asset Fund they offered. After several years comparing the TIFF Multi Asset Fund to the CMF Endowment pool returns the committee made the following investment strategy change. • May 2007 25% of the endowment pool was invested in the TIFF Multi Asset Fund • July 2007 a $1 million commitment was made to two private equity funds with Commonfund. • March 2009 70% of the endowment pool was invested in the TIFF Multi Asset Fund • The remaining balance of the endowment pool was left in the original asset allocation pool to meet future Commonfund private equity commitments. �Investment Report Page 2 TIFF Multi Asset Fund was picked for the follow ing reasons. • The TIFF investment advisory committee is made up of some ofthe largest foundation and university representatives in the country. • The Multi Asset Fund was developed for smaller endowments such as CMF's to access investment strategies typically limited to larger foundations. • Strong ten year investment returns for the Multi Asset Fund. • TIFF is set up to serve just foundations and nonprofits. Investment Performance Review On March 14, 2011, the Investment Committee met by conference call to review the December 31, 2010 Investment Reports. During this meeting a representative of TIFF updated the committee on the latest results for the Multi Asset Fund. With 93% of the CMF Endowment Pool invested in the TIFF Multi Asset Fund the report on the next page provides separate data for this portion of the pool. The Multi Asset Fund targets an overall minimum return of CPI plus 5% in keeping with a typical 5% foundation spending policy. Based on the TIFF constructed or targeted asset allocation TIFF also provides a constructed index benchmark retum. The TIFF Multi Asset Fund retum represents the historical retum for this fund not CMF's actual investment in the fund. This is being provided to show the long tenn track record of the fund. In light of the strategy to investment the CMF Endowment Pool in the TIFF Multi Asset Fund the committee is current analyzing the Commonfund Private Equity commitment and may discontinue this strategy at1er the return of capital is complete. CMF also holds a $3 mill ion endowment fund for the Learning to Give that is anticipated to be turned over to the Points of Light Foundation in the next three years, under the terms of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) w ith LTG. Due to the entry and exit fees for the TIFF Multi Asset Fund, this endowment fu nd has remained invested in the original asset allocation strategy that CMF employed. As demonstrated in the attached summary reports, we are pleased with the progress in this past year of recovering the value of our endowed funds.

Background: As I have discussed w ith both CMF Board Chair Dave Sebastian and CMF Vice Chair for Community Foundations Brenda Hunt, the state legislature- specifically the House Tax Policy Committee- is looking for a simplified charitable tax credit recommendation that they can consider as they work on the Governor's proposed budget. Chairman Gilbert has indicated that while he could ask the House Fiscal Agency to complete this task, given all of the other pressing issues, he doubts that it can be completed in time. As a quick review, the current charitable tax credits are in three buckets: public institutions universities, libraries, museums, public TV and radio; food banks and homeless shelters, and the community foundation credit. Comb ined these credits cost the state about $50 million a year, with the community foundation credit the smallest at $3.5 million. As Robin Ferriby from the Community Foundation for Southeast Mich igan pointed out in meetings we had with members of the Tax Policy Committee from South East Michigan these credits provide the State with at least $175 million in revenue that it does not need to provide from the general fund. And as Randy Maiers shared with Chairman Gilbert from his County, the Community Foundation alone is an important economic engine for St. Clair County. I have now had meetings, joined by community foundation leaders from the respective Districts, with Speaker Bolger and most of the members of the House Tax Policy Committee. We are still trying to get meetings w ith Senate Majority Leader Richardv ille and State Treasurer Dillon. The good news is that we have found four members of Tax Policy and the Speaker who use the Community Foundation Tax Credit and are enthusiastic donors. The bad news is that they are supportive of the Governor' s efforts to do a clean sweep with the credits and feel Michiganders will still give without the incentive of a tax credit. These meetings have also confirmed that the community foundation tax credit is too small for them to want to expend the political capital to save, and they do not feel that we could put our credit in front of the homeless shelters and food banks especially. However, they have displayed a willingness to consider a simplified charitable giving incentive and thus this recommendation. �CF Tax Credit Page 2 Frankly, the other organizations that benefit from the charitable tax credits are so overwhelmed with other problems related to the proposed budget that if we do not undertake this work it will not get done. I am pleased to share that support for the charitable tax credits was reaffirmed by the CMF Government Relations Committee during our March 1 call as an important part of Michigan's history as a state with a legacy of giving and volunteering through public private partnerships. In addition, the MNA Public Policy Committee and MNA Executive Committee have also passed motions endorsing their support for the charitable tax credits. Regretfully, the community foundation tax credit and educational foundation tax credit that are in the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) are also proposed to be eliminated, and there seems to be no willingness to consider an alternative tool that would incentivize corporate giving. Because of the timing of the proposed budget, need for a simplified plan and because there are available funds from the Community Foundation Endowment Fund, I have given Public Sector Consultants the approval to get started. Robin Ferri by has agreed to advise PSC staff on this work, and we will invite other CMF members with expertise in this area to be involved as well. In terms of next steps, we will ask the Community Foundation Committee to review the proposed plan for a simplified charitable giving tax that Gary Olson recommends in order to insure that it helps community foundations without being a burden. I would then share the proposed plan with the other state wide organizations that are involved with the current charitable credits to make sure they are supportive. At that point, we would then approach the State Treasurer and members of the Administration before taking the Plan to Chairman Gilbert in Lhe House Tax Policy Commillee. W hile hearings on Lhe charilable Lax creuils have yt:Llo bt: scheduled, I anticipate a date in early April. My conclusion is that if we recommend the status quo, the community foundation tax credit will be eliminated. Finally, I continue to recommend that community foundations send letters to their State Reps and Senator using the template we have provided along with the talking points. It is important that we continue to keep this great story in front of all legislators. I look forward to your questions and counsel. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We decided that this would be best discussed by the full Board and appreciate having Professor Lynn Wooten (bio included as Attachment B) with us to facilitate this discussion. In summary form, the four recommendations from Rob are: 1. Dissolve the Membership Committee 2. Make Membership an explicit role for our Constituent Committees 3. Create a new Independent Foundation Committee 4. Create a "New Forms of Philanthropy" Task Force. Professor Wooten has organized our conversation around these four recommendations from Rob to three key generative questions for us to discuss. 1. Are the board and committees structured to support, think strategically and innovate generative practices for recruiting and retaining members? 2. What is the future of organized philanthropy in Michigan? 3. Considering the possible future scenarios of organized philanthropy in Michigan what are the implications for recruiting and retaining CMF members? As background for these three questions, we have included as Attachment C: • A one page summary from the bylaws on membership provisions • A one page list of the current Committees • A summary of foundations in Michigan from The Michigan Foundation Directory • Two pages from Lucy Bemolz 's BluePrint 2011 Page 16 of40 �Attachment A November 7, 2010 Memo to: Dave Sebastian, Chairman, and Members of the Executive Committee From: Rob Collier, President Re: Redefining Membership Committee Responsibilities cc: Management Team and Membership Staff The purpose of this Memo is to recommend that CMF no longer have a Membership Committee but take three steps. First, we would make responsibility for membership engagement and recruitment a prime activity for each of the primary constituency committees: families, corporate and community. An example of how this would be infused into the Charter for the Family Philanthropy Committee follows. Second, we would study the feasibility of creating a fourth constituency committee that would represent the large group of our members that are independent private foundations. Third, we would create a new committee that explores new forms of philanthropy and how these forms can best be engaged with CMF and hopefully in a membership format. Representatives of two existing membership classifications: individuals, and public charities other than community foundations, would be considered in the composition of this new Committee. In advance of the Executive Committee Meeting on November 16, I will be discussing these three recommendations with the Management Team and staff involved in Membership. Ifthese three steps lead to changes that would impact the current bylaws ofCMF, the Governance Committee would be engaged. While membership has been growing this year, these recommendations are being suggested to help insure that the current engaged members are more involved in opportunities to recruit new members, and also to insure that CMF is being relevant to the new forn1s of philanthropy that are being developing so quickly in this fast changing world. The current process often results in matters before the Membership Committee being referred back to one of the Constituency Committees which often delays a decision. Finally, I would like to have the Governance Committee consider a change to the current Bylaws, which would allow an applicant for membership that fits a Board approved Membership Classification to be approved for membership without the current process of having to be voted on at a Board Meeting. I look forward to discussing these recommendations with you . Page 17 of40 �Council of Michigan Foundations Family Philanthropy Committee Roles and Responsibilities The mission of the CMF Family Philanthropy Committee (FPC) is to strengthen, promote and increase family philanthropy in Michigan through the engagement of family foundations and donor advised funds in the activities of CMF.

It is tradition to inv ite a new Governor to join us and we are honored to have Governor Rick Snyder open our conference with a "Conversation on Vision, Opportunity and Action for Reinventing Michigan." As we already know, this Governor is all about action and he is challenging the foundation community to take our 25-plus years of partnering with state government to a higher level of action. Because education is the single largest issue focus for philanthropy and so vital to Michigan's successful reinvention, we will be closing our conference with a spirited conversation featuring Kevin Clash, Sesame Street's Emmy-Award winning senior puppet coordinator, accompanied by his most popular charact er, Elmo. This "Conversation s,n Education" will be hosted by Dr. Juan Olivarez, president of Aquinas College who was, until this summer, president of the Kalamazoo Community Foundation. Last January, Juan joined with Rick Hughey, executive vice president and CEO of the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation and the late Mark Morley to launch the planning process for this Conference as our three co-chairs. We greatly appreciate the contributions each made to the success of this conference. We joined the Morley Foundation and Saginaw Community this summer in mourning Mark's tragic loss in the Chicago to Mackinac Race. A long time supporter of CMF and a fixture at many annual conferences, Mark will be missed this year. The Board of Trustees has dedicated this conference to Mark. Between the Governor and Elmo are five opportunities to choose from 39 different sessions covering the best in governance, leadership, grantmaking issues and strategies, communications, and finance for foundations of all types and sizes. You will find the choices tough to make, but the planning committee and staff listened to your feedback from last year's conference and have assembled a great roster of presenters from across the country and here in Michigan . Kalamazoo provides many examples of reinvention through vision, opportunity and action. We are grateful to Rick and the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation for their gift of an evening of community arts as Kalamazoo shares its passion for why "The Arts are the heART of Kalamazoo." We are proud to showcase a growing, thriving city and a conference that will energize and inspire all of us in doing our part to reinvent Michigan. We thank you for participating in Michigan's dynamic philanthropic community! ~ Rob Collier, president/CEO ~~ Dave Sebastian, chair, CMF Board �nnual Conference Honorary Chairs • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Th e Board of Trustees of the Council of Michigan Foundat ions is pleased to recognize the recip ients of the 2011 Russell G. Mawby Award for Phil anthropy and the 2011 Community Foundation Philanthropy Award as Hono rary Chairs of the 2011 Annual Conference. Jim and Donna Brooks of Holland, recipients of the 2011 Russell G. Mawby Award, believe "people who are blessed need to realize that they are responsible to give back to the community in order to keep it a great place to live, learn, work and play." Through personal commitment and their donor-advised fund at the Community Foundation of the Holland/ Zeeland Area (CFHZA), the Brooks' have, indeed, given bac k. Their community support is exte nsive and inc ludes board service w ith t he CFHZA, and Grand Va lley State University Foundation, as wel l as the creation of ~cholarships, supp ort for the Ready for School initiative, Lakeshore Advantage, the Holland -Zeeland Model Community Initiatives, Hol land Historic Trust, the Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences, and Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alli ance and more. As one community leader noted, "They not on ly give of their own finan cial resources, but invest t hemsel ves persona lly on boards, task forces, committees and more. One of the ir greatest attributes is that they make themselves accessible to everyone in their community." David Donovan of Lansing, recipient of the 2011 Community Foundation Philanthropy Award, represents the type of person every charitab le organization des ires to have as a board member. As a vo lunteer trustee and donor to the Capital Region Community Foundation, he dediG:ates count less hours each month to attending board and committee meetings. He devotes more hours working on projects suc h as the Armory Nonprofit Center and chairing the board's Strateg ic Planning Committee whose work guided the board to engage in proactive grantmaking focused on economic development and youth . Da ve sees the big picture and has the creativity to come up w ith viab le solutions. He exercises servant leadership that brings people together and builds consensus. His generous heart leads him to financ ially support not only the community foundation through his donor advised fund but also many other community causes . In 2008, the Capital Area Chapter of the Assoc iat ion of Fundraising Professionals recogn ized Dave by awarding him the Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser Award. Simp ly put, Dave's service has been invaluable to the greater Lansing community. A SPECIAL DEDICATION: Mark Morley From the Council of Michigan Foundations Board of Trustees RESOLVED that the trustees and staff of the Council of Michigan Foundations join in celebrating the life of trustee Mark Morley and his many contributions toward making the Saginaw area and Michigan a better place for all through: his leadership w ith the Morley Foundation, his collaboration as a trustee of CMF, his can -do attitude which turned problems into opportunities and his engaging storyte lling which united us all. Mark made us all members of the Morley Team. In tribute, we hereby dedicate the Council of Michigan's 39th Annual Conference to Mark-an event that we know he was looking forward to co-chair ing. 3 �39th Annual Conference • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Table of Contents Gene ral Information . .. . .. . . . .. . .. ... .... . .. ... 5 Resource Central . . . .... . .. . ... . .. . . . . .. . . ..... 5 At-a-Gl ance Co nference Schedule . ... . ... . .. .6 - 7 Many thanks to our Sponsors, Foundation Supporters and Exhibitors ~~;44dUI_ ZJ FOUNDATION D ~ W.K.

Battle Creek Community Foundation Harper Creek Middle School $600 Random Acts of Kindness (Harper Creek) was a program that reminded everyone that the little things matter as well. This group assists students by doing small acts of kindness throughout the middle school. The program YAC funded provided a Christmas basket to less fortunate families in the area. The youth did the shopping and accompanied the adults during the delivery of the baskets. Though it didn’t have the most widespread impact, what it did do was touch the hearts of all involved and sent a powerful message to all who became aware of Harper Creek’s efforts. Furthermore, it was a reminder to YAC that it doesn’t always take a huge amount of money or elaborate program to make a huge impact. Most importantly, that same lesson was being taught to our young leaders in junior high. What an amazing message to send to our young people! 44 �Community Foundation Grantee Organization Grant Amount Grants Bay Area Community Foundation Challenge Day $15,000 The YAC brought this exceptional program to all Bay County Public Middle Schools.

An intimidating range of forces-globalization, shifting sectoral roles, economic crisis, and ubiquitous connective technologies, to name just a few-are changing both what philanthropy is called upon to do institutions alike have been striving to be more strategic, efficient, and effective in a variety of ways. But it is clear that the last decade's changes will not be sufficient. The new context requires that funders adjust to the ways in which their actions are connected to others' actions, in a dynamic interplay with external events, in order to have a greater impact, faster. and how donors and foundations will accomplish their work in the future. Yet many of philanthropy's core practices and principles remain essentially unchanged from the way they were done a hundred years ago, when Andrew Carnegie and This is not to say that philanthropy hasn't responded to the shifting landscape. To the contrary. As the relevance Where the cutting edge of philanthropic i nnovat ion over the last decad e was mostly about improving organizational effectiven ess, efficien cy, and respons iveness, we believe that the next practi ces of the coming IO years will have to build on those efforts to include an add itional focus on coordi nation and adaptation. The most innovative funders in the future and role of philanthropy has become a more u rgent question over the past decade, newer actors and older will do more than operate as effective, independent institutions. They wi ll act BIGGER and adapt BETTER: J ohn D. Rockefeller first created the foundat ion form. The world around philanthropy is changing much, much faster than philanthropy itself. YOU AND/OR YOUR ORGANIZATION ACTING TAKESMARTRISKS 10 BIGGER SHARE BY DEFAULT Given the scale and social complexity of the challenges they face, funders will increasingly look to other actors, both in philanthropy and across sectors, t o activate sufficient resources to make sustainable progress on issues of shared concern.

T HE OUTSIDE WORLD �NEXT PRACTICES FOR PHILANTHROPY'S NEXT DECADE Simply tweaking the status quo is not likely to be enough for philanthropic and civic leaders looking to cultivate change more effectively in a world that sorely needs it. Tomorrow's most successful funders will do more than just adopt today's best practices. They will have to pioneer "next practices"- new ways of working that fi.t the emerging landscape of public problem solving: ACTING BIGGER ADAPTING BETTER U U UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT Strong peripheral vision- seeing and developing a shared understanding of the system in which they operate- will be critical to helping funders build and coordinate resources to address large, complex problems. RE-AMP, a collaborative of Midwestern foundations and nonprofits, developed a shared understanding of the levers for achieving clean energy in the Midwest by mapping the system of relevant forces and players, helping to align the vision and coordinate the efforts of many independent stakeholders. ., .... PICK THE RIGHTTOOL(S) FOR THE JOB Funders have a wide range of assets- money, knowledge, networks, expertise, and influence- that can be appl ied del iberately to create social change. THE VERMONT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION is ensuring that its investment strategies complement its programmatic goals by offering donors the option to invest money in local socially-responsible businesses, using rts investment managers to vote by proxy, and co-filing activist shareholder resolutions. R-i ALIGN INDEPENDENT ACTION . . Philanthropies are developing new models for working together that allow for both coordination and independence. Funders don't necessarily need to make decisions together, but they do need their efforts to add up. THE CLIMATEWORKS FOUNDATION has helped more than 10 funders and scores of other actors work in concert as part of a $1 billion coordinated global campaign to fight climate change by addressing global energy efficiency standards, forest conservation and agriculture, and low-carbon energy supply. -~ U ACTIVATE NETWORKS Advances in network theory and practice now allow funders to be more deliberate about supporting connectivity, coordinating networks, and thinking about how the collective impact of all of their efforts can produce change far beyond the success of any single grant, grantee, or donor. THE BARR FOUNDATION is building a stronger network of afterschool service providers for Boston youth by supporting" network weavers" who facilitate relationship building, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among service providers and community leaders. L"'t LEVERAGE OTHERS' RESOURCES 8 Funders can use their independent resources as l evers to catalyze much larger streams of funding and activity from other sources by stimulating markets, influencing public opinion and policy, and activating new p layers and assets. THE CLINTON HEALTH ACCESS INITIATIVE is working to aggregate demand, improve efficiencies, and reduce volatility in the market for AIDS drugs in an effort to provide medicine affordably in Africa and the Caribbean. W!t KNOW WHAT WORKS (AND WHAT DOESN' T ) Effective funders will develop systems to learn from their successes, and their failures, in ways that can help everyonefunders and grantees al ike- develop the judgment to guide and improve efforts in the future. THE WALLACE FOUNDATION is systematically testing and evaluating innovative educational and cultural programs around the United States, methodically sharing the results to broadly spread knowledge about effective approaches-with more than 200,000 report downloads a year. lrJI KEEP PACE WITH CHANGE M As the speed of change accelerates around us, funders will need to build feedback loops that help them change and shift behavior based on dynamic realities and lessons learned in real time. THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION has replaced its long-standing, fixed "programs" with a set of interconnected, time-limited "initiatives" that aim to allow the Foundation to 9uickly respond to unanticipated opportunities, to shift tactics when necessary, and to regularly recalibrate its approach to fit external needs. ~ OPENUPTONEWINPUTS U New tools and approaches now allow funders to solicit points of view from diverse cultures and perspectives, to access new and wildcard ideas, and to get buy- in and engagement from stakehol ders. THE CENTER FOR EFFECTIVE PHILANTHROPY'S YOUTHTRUTH initiative is measuring tl1e success of scl1ool reform by soliciting feedback directly from 11igl1 scl1ool students about the 9uality of their experience, providing valuable input to foundation and d istrict leadership from voices tl1at would normally not be heard. &!} SHARE BY DEFAULT . . In a more crowded p l aying fi.eld, there is tremendous value in reflecting on your work and conveying your lessons to others. It makes sense to start from a place of sharing everything and then make a few exceptions, rather than a place of sharing little where transpru·ency is the exception. ASHOKA'S CHANGEMAKERS competition "open sources" proposals by placing them on a public message board, allowing the community of participants to not only choose tl1eir favorites but also to strengtl1en all of the contestants' ideas and build awareness of them in tl1efield. ~ TAKE SMART RISKS The most effective funderswill recognize when innovation is necessary, and will be willing to make high- risk, high- reward bets that have the potential to create transformative change. THE HEINZ ENDOWMENTS, the Grable Foundation, and the Pittsburgh Foundation took the risk of abruptly and publicly cutting funding to the city's failing scl1ool district in order to spark tl1e public engagement necessary for reform.

We are pleased to have Mark Sedway, from the Philanthropy Awareness Initiative, join us to continue the discussion on our Value Proposition. Materials for this discussion will be handed out at the Meeting. At recent Board meetings, with the help of consultant Kito Cetrulo, you and members have confirmed that they value CMF's: inclusive community, innovative leadership, insightful knowledge, and influential advocacy - all to help strengthen philanthropy's Impact in and for Michigan. I have asked Mark to work with this and lead us in a discussion of our Value Proposition. I have learned that for a value proposition to be persuasive, it must be distinctive, measurable, defendable, and sustainable. What is the one thing about CMF that we want members to remember when it is time to renew membership? The need to advance this issue for CMF was reinforced for me this summer when John Graham, the President of ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership, spoke to a group of us at the annual meeting of the regional associations of grantmakers. And he started not with their mission statement but with their value proposition. My hope is that there will be agreement from the Board on a Value message that we can share at the Annual Members Meeting on Monday morning. Frankly, we need this now to help us with our membership retention and recruitment goals which we all agreed should be the priority goals for CMF. This will be a good starting point for our new Director of Communications Melissa Freye to use as she ramps up a new communications plan with Vicki's help for 2011 . Mark is a key partner with CMF and has spoken to the Board in the past. His bio is summarized below. Mark Sedway directs the Philanthropy Awareness Initiative, a project initiated and supported by the Packard, Gates, Hewlett, Irvine and Robert Wood Johnson foundations to engage more influential Americans in the work of organized philanthropy. He also runs Sedway Associates, a consulting practice that helps foundations and philanthropy organizations use communications to achieve greater impact. Clients have included the California HealthCare Foundation, Council of Michigan Foundations, the D5 diversity initiative, Evaluation Roundtable, Grand Victoria Foundation, GrantCraft (a project of the Ford Foundation), Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, The California Endowment, The James Irvine Foundation, The Joyce Foundation, The MacArthur Foundation, Philanthropy New York, Project Streamline and the Working Group on Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace. Prior to establishing Sedway Associates, Mark worked for the communications consulting finn Williams Group and served The James Irvine Foundation as its first director of communications. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mr. Collier presented Becky Noricks with a gift from CMF and the Board, noting her transition to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in June. I. Call to Order/Introductions Melonie Colaianne, Chairperson welcomed Board Members and self-introductions were made. II. Consent Agenda Minutes of February 23, 2010 Board Meeting Minutes of April 6, 2010 Executive Committee Investment Committee Report Internal Financial Statements for March 31, 2010 Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Minutes of February 23, 2010; the Minutes of April 6 Executive Committee; and the Investment Committee Report and the Internal Financial Statements for March 31, 2010, be approved as presented. III. Treasurer ' s Report/Year End Audit Audit Committee Chair Phil Peters and Dave Lindberg, CFO, presented the Audit and introduced Stephen Elan of Rehman Robson who joined via phone to comment and receive questions on the reports included in the Board packet. Mr. Elan noted the free standing letter is focused only on any systemic problems, internal controls or behind the scenes deficiencies. A material weakness was cited due to two adjustments as noted in the letter. He concluded that Rehman Robson considers this a good audit and the notation of a material weakness is due to the new auditing standards. This isolated instance does not reflect negatively on CMF. Upon motions duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the March 31, 2010 & 2009 Audit Report be approved as recommended by the CMF Audit Committee. IV. Membership Committee Committee Chair John Colina introduced the new members noted below. Dave Lindberg commented on the renewals to date noting we are on target compared to last year and ten foundations have provided additional support above their renewal rate. Mr. Colina reported that the Membership Committee has re-evaluated the membership categories and has recommended combining the corporate giving programs consultant and non-consultant categories into one category titled, corporate giving program. In addition, the committee recommends combining the individual philanthropist and individual consultant categories as one titled, individual/association. Upon motions duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the following grantmakers be approved for membership: Community Foundation Canton Community Foundation Family Foundations �Meeting Minutes May25,2010 Page 3 The Shiftman Foundation O'Donovan Family Foundation Rachor Family Foundation Voight Family Foundation Independent Foundation Chaim, Fanny, Louis, Benjamin & Anne Kaufman Trust (REJOIN) Public Charity Women's Caring Program AND RESOLVED further that the membership categories of "Corporate Giving Programs Consultant Service Bureau" and "Corporate Giving Programs Non-Consultant" be combined into one category identified as Corporate Giving Program and the categories of " Individual Philanthropists" and " Individual C onsultant Service Business" be combined into one category identified as Individual/Associate. Communicating Our Message Mr. Colina reviewed last year's peer to peer calling and the suggestions recommended to improve that process. The Committee with Management's support is recommending that the calls this year focus on the members who have yet to renew their membership and that they be made in June. Barb Dryer will notify folks if a dues payment is made from the call assignments. Communications Director Becky Noricks and Consultant Kito Cetrulo, via phone, introduced the renewal process and our work thus far (Attachment A). She introduced the scripts in the Board materials developed for personal phone calls with members. Ms. Cetrulo emphasized how the quality of your voice reflects on the inclusiveness ofCMF. She reviewed the sample scripts and asked for feedback. Ms. Cetrulo led the Board through an exercise to name which question you dread being asked by a member? Some responses included: Doesn't do anything for me, why doesn't staff contact me? Can you reduce my dues? Will you quit pestering me? I had a bad experience in the past. How will my dues benefit the community? What is in it for me? What is in it for my company? She then asked the Board members to list some questions they hope to get asked: Is it worth it? Why should I belong to CMF? What are the benefits? How much do I owe? What do you get out of CMF? �Meeting Minutes May25,2010 Page 4 How can I get more involved in CMF? How can CMF help? What is the role? The Board suggested changing the tem1 of "colleague" for family foundations and use fellow trustee. There was agreement that it would be helpful to mix up the list for trustees and not have them contact the same foundations as last year. Ms. Cetrulo signed off from the call at 11 :20 a.m. Recruitment Campaign Mike Goorhouse introduced the Recruitment campaign for 20 I 0 with a goal is to add 44 new members targeting Private Foundations. Staff are researching and identifying a list of prospects of various asset sizes based on the following indicators of potential membership: previous CMF members whose membership has lapsed; staffed foundations; Foundations who have previously attended CMF events; and recommendations from Board Members and staff based on personal relationships. Mr. Goorhouse urged the Board to let staff know if there are any you feel should be targeted. This year's budget does include funds for free scholarships to attend CMF events throughout the year. V. Public Policy Committee Committee Co-Chair Tom Cook and Public Policy Fellow Dana Linnane and Karen Aldridge Eason, Office the Foundation Liaison, introduced the term limits issue. The Committee is recommending that CMF take a position on the issue of extending tem1 limits for legislators. They shared that the Michigan Nonprofit Association has also taken a position on tenn limits for legislators. A number of questions were presented by Trustees, and there was consensus that extending tenn limits for legislators was not going to solve the State's structural budget crisis. Mr. Collier noted that the Board has previously taken a position on the state budget and its impact on nonprofits. He added that CMF will not lead the charge on this issue but he needs to have a response to the question when asked about CMF's position on term limits. The Board agreed that a resolution would demonstrate that CMF acknowledges there is a problem and that tenn limits have negatively affected nonprofits. Upon motions duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations supports efforts to increase or extend term limits for the Michigan Legislature. VI. TMP Diversity & Inclusion Initiative Update & Training Committee Chair Carol Goss reviewed the recent work of the TMP Committee noting that Professor Wooten will be j oining the Family Foundation Trustees to pilot a focus group on inclusion for family foundations fo llowing this Board Meeting. Vicki Rosenberg discussed the handouts included in the Board materials and introduced the CMF's Scholar in Residence, Professor Lynn Wooten. Ms. Wooten's led the Board through interactive exercises and discussions on the advantages of diverse and inclusive networks, mapping, analyzing, creating and sustaining the Board's assets (Attachment B). The Board noted they are currently missing the Arab American, Asian, Hispanic, Faith-based perspectives. VII.

Collaborative Responses and Networking I will be inviting Tom Cook, Co-Chair of Public Policy, to join Public Policy Fellow, LaToya Morgan in commenting on several of the following collaborative highlights. First Breannah Alexander, Program Associate for youth philanthropy, wants to share the summer youth leadership conference. June 25-27- Youth Philanthropy and Service Camp was hosted at Michigan State University in partnership with the LEAGUE Michigan and Learn and Serve Michigan. The camp turned out to be a tremendous success attracting over 425 young people from Michigan and across the United States. At this year's camp we brought together young people not only engaged in service learning through their school, but grantmaking in their communities as well. This partnership allowed our youth grantmakers to see another piece of philanthropy, service learning, and facilitated the process of getting these two groups to work together beyond summer camp. Sessions were created and facilitated by 20 of the most talented young people engaged in philanthropy from the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Committee (MCFYP) and the Michigan LEAGUE and Learn and Serve Committee. The sessions focused on topics like Fund Development, Needs Assessment, Hunger and Homelessness and many others that affect young people and the communities they serve. Participants left camp with a renewed sense of empowerment to go back into their communities and make a difference. While on the subject of youth philanthropy, I want to add that we have added 5 new members to The Michigan Community Foundation's Youth Project (MCFYP) Committee to serve a three year term that began September 1, 2010. The newest appointees are Harry Light (Community Foundation for Greater Flint), Molly Moore (Grand Haven Area Community Foundation), Katharine Janes (Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation), Corey Miles (Marquette Community Foundation), and Cheryl Cadieu (M & M Area Community Foundation). July 21- K-16 Education Briefing Hosted by the K-12 Education Affinity Group and the Office of the Foundation Liaison (OFL) at Lansing Community College, the Briefing highlighted work being done around education in Michigan by foundations and nonprofits. Members of the Michigan Forum for African American Philanthropy and the Business Contributions Council also participated in the Briefing. �President's Report October 20 I 0 Page 3 August 26- Michigan Benefit Access Initiative (MBAD Briefing, CMF and OFL convened a group a 24 CMF members w ith state departments to discuss support for the MBAI project at the offices of the Michigan Association of United Ways in Lansing.

CM F is widely recognized as a leader across the RA network for its roles in protecting the philanthropic sector and in supporting the use of policy reforms to achieve grantmaking goals. A consideration going forward is how CMF can concretely help other RAs develop capacity to achieve a coordinated national system for building effective relationships with elected and appointed officials at all levels of government. POLICY WORK EMPHASIS Policy work at CMF includes a broad spectrum of activities, focusing both on the protection of the philanthropic sector and on public policy engagement for supporting the achievement of charitable foundations' missions and goals. CURRENT INTERESTS Reflections shared in the landscape scan interview highlighted two areas of interest to consider during priority setting, both related to strategic communications: AL IGN ING LEADERSHI P IN PHI LANTHROPY AND THE NONPROFIT CMF works to enhance the effectiveness of the nonprofit sector in serving society, but a clearer understanding is still needed among stakeholders about what philanthropy offers aside from funding. How can CMF work to strengthen partnerships and unify messages within the nonprofit sector? What communications strategies will be effective in conveying the real value of philanthropy? SECTOR Ideally, regional associations would monitor local and state-level policy developments and collectively address federal issues. However, before such a coordinated system can effectively exist, much work is still needed to change perceptions among funders about what RAs have to offer. What specific role(s) can CMF play in helping other regional associations communicate the value of policy work? BUILDI NG THE CAPACITY OF THE RA NETWORK �CAPACITY MIX CMF has a well-established policy work infrastructure. Explanation of Capacity Categories and Scoring Existing practices extend beyond direct services to members Each capacity category includes 10 components. One point is allocated to include external relations for buil ding coaliti ons and for each component that currently exists.

We will have updated Metric Charts to share as part of this Report at the Board Meeting. I. New Members Since the start of our fiscal year on April 1, 2010 we have received applications from 26 new members. At the May Board Meeting you approved 7 of these applicants, and we are pleased to present the following 19 applicants for membership- 8 received since the Membership Committee Meeting. Management is asking that all of these be approved now, recognizing that payment from Bank of America and the Brooks Donor Advised Fund is forthcoming. We are well on our way to reaching the goal of 44 new Members this year and appreciate the support of individual trustees in making this Goal. In addition, management will be recommending that the Governance Committee look at changing the bylaw -Article 1 Membership, Section 2 Application- that requires that the Board approve each individual application for membership. As long as the Board has approved the criteria for membership, we feel that it is appropriate to consider an expedited process and not make new members wait for a Board meeting. RESOLVED that the following grantmakers be approved for membership: Community Foundation Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation Community Foundation Donor Advised Funds Brooks Donor Advised Fund Corporate Foundations and Giving Programs Health Alliance Plan Tri-Star Charitable Foundation Bank of America ArvinMeritor DENSO North America Foundation Family Foundations The Kirt Foundation Secchia Family Foundation James C. and Jane N.

II. Membership Retention Campaign and Board and Committee Member Contacts The results of the calling campaign by board and conunittee members were reviewed by the Membership Committee and staff reported that Reminder letters have been sent. Eight Trustees have reported on calls this year to 25 of the targeted group of 105 members. Forty one of the group of 105 has renewed their membership since the May Board Meeting, and one member as noted below Rotary District 6360 - has dropped membership. There was consensus by the Committee members that while the training at the May Board Meeting with Consultant Kito Cetrulo was appreciated, the system designed for reporting on these calls is simply too complicated and not easily managed, especially if a volunteer is trying to make these calls from the Road. There was agreement by the Committee on the value of the contact but staff needs to simplify the reporting process. As of October 1, membership renewal stands at 287. We are pleased that 21 foundations have provided additional funds, due in part to the redesigned fonn , in addition to their dues for a total of $ 15, 150. Staffis now calling the final group of members that have not renewed as of October 1. III. Diverse Grantmakers Recruitment Update Mike Goorhouse reviewed with the Committee progress on implementation of the framework that was presented at the CMF Board of Trustees meeting on May 25. Staff has reviewed the Crain's list of high net worth diverse owned companies and the various state minority Chamber of Commerce organizations to identify potential member businesses and families. These corporations and individuals have been cross-checked with various foundation lists to detem1ine if any of these individuals currently have foundations. �Membership Report October 20 l 0 Page 3 We are in the process of identifying a group of potential new members in several diverse demographic categories (Arab-American families, and African American families.) We are targeting 1-2 leaders to help us with each of the demographic categories. Membership invitations have been extended to the following diverse members: o Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe o Samuel Shaheen through the Temple Theater Foundation Moving forward, staff will invite interested CMF Trustees to help us recruit these initial groups of diverse members.

All participants in Foundations on the Hill are invited to participate in the Government Relations Committee. The following report with recommended action is presented for your consideration. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the 2010-11 Legislative Action Goals Statement as reviewed by the Government Relations Committee and' included as Attachment One to this report be approved. Background Co-Chair Andrea Cole called the September 21 meeting to order at 2:30p.m . joined in person by Rob Collier, Karen Aldridge-Eason, Tammie Jones, Mike Goorhouse, LaToya Morgan, Nick Deychakiwsky, Jennifer Poteat, Susan Katz Froning, Diane Thompson and Dennis Fliehman. Joining on the phone: Danielle Olekszyk, Wendy Erb, Jenee Velasquez, Melanie Colaianne, Duane Tarnacki, Harry Gaggos, Sue Gainer, Judy Watson Olson, Carolyn Bloodworth and Debbie Dingell. I. Update with Becky Bechler, Public Affairs Associates Rob Collier reviewed the Agenda, noting Co-Chair Carol Paine McGovern had a sudden conflict with a fundraising meeting, and introduced Becky Bechler of Public Affair Associates to brief the group on the current status of the Budget. The Departments of Human Services and Transportation have a few glitches, but the rest of the Budgets are going through smoothly and final action is expected by October 1 so all may spend the month of October campaigning. She noted that in the House the Democrats are nervous they may lose control. The Republicans will continue to control the Senate. She noted that for Speaker of the House- if the Democrats keep control of the Housetwo gentlemen are seeking the position: Representatives Rick Hammel and Woodrow Stanley - both from the Flint area. On the Republican side she noted that three Representatives are seeking the leadership position in the House: Bill Rogers, Paul Opsommer, and James Bolger. In the Senate she noted that Senators Richardville, Jansen and Nofs are all seeking the Majority Leader position. Chair Cole thanked Ms. Bechler fo r hosting the Committee and for her report and she left the meeting. II. Update of Legislative Action Goals Statement Co-Chair Cole reviewed the six proposed National Action Goals, and noted that there are 13 ongoing goals in the full Legislative Goals Statement on the website. Mr. Collier thanked members for signing on to a letter sent by the Council on Foundations to each member of Congress today on Goal One - simplification of the Excise Tax to a revenue neutral number. He noted that Rush Kidder, a Trustee of the C.S. Mott Foundation had sent a letter at his request to Senator Snowe on the Senate �Government Relations Report October 20 I 0 Page 2 Finance Committee. On Goal Two he added that there is still hope that the IRA Charitable Rollover may pass in this Session. But the situation with the Estate Tax - Goal Three - is very cloudy - as to whether the Senate will make the 2009 rates effective for 2010 or let 2010 pass with no Estate Tax and deal with the issue in 2011. On Goals four and Five, he added that these issues will be reintroduced- UBIT and PRis in 2011 . Co-Chair Cole introduced Goal Six - monitoring the Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act - as a proposed new Action Goal. This is an important Act that will likely be reintroduced in the next session of Congress. Nick Deychakiwsky serves on the Board of the Nonprofit Council of Nonprofits and commented that NCN and Independent Sector are supporting this legislation that could help improve how federal government and nonprofits can interact. There are 3 core issues in the Act - provides for creation of the U.S. Council on Nonprofit Organizations and Community Solutions; an InterAgency Working Group on Nonprofit Organizations and the Federal Government, and a single agency with the responsibility to coordinate data collection on the nonprofit sector. Committee members addressed questions like; do we feel a compelling need for this legislation? Noting that the Council on Foundations (COF) has not taken a position as of this meeting, there was consensus that CMF continue to monitor this legislation and report back to the Committee in advance of the March 2011 Foundations on the Hill. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the six National Legislative Action Goals be adopted as stated in the Attachment. Co-Chair Cole then reviewed the five State Legislative Action Goals, noting that there are 7 ongoing goals in the full Legislative Goals Statement. On Goal One Mr. Collier noted that if Rick Snyder becomes Governor the Michigan Business Tax will likely be changed, making preservation ofthe Business Tax Credit for gifts to community foundations a priority. On Goal Two he noted that the Greenlining Institute has not tried to introduce legislation in Michigan, but legislation in Florida and Pennsylvania is being monitored. Collier noted that Goals 3-5 are all part of the Nonprofit Caucus Agenda- created by CMF and MNA in the fall of2009. While new legislation is expected on the Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act in 2011, legislation is expected to be signed by the Governor on the Youth Employment Standards Act yet this fall. He asked that Goal 5 - to clarify the Sales Tax Exemption for Fundraising Purposes be added as a new Goal- noting that like the other Goals of the Caucus, it would impact grantees of members as well as member community foundations. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the five State Legislative Action Goals be adopted as stated in the Attachment. III. Review of Council on Foundations Legislative Agenda for the 112th Congress Mr. Collier explained that he and Diana Sieger from the Grand Rapids Community Foundation and new COF Board member are the two Michigan representatives on the COF Public Policy Committee. He asked the Committee members to review the COF Legislative Agenda- Policy Parameters, Core Principles, Issue Prioritization and Emerging Issues List. �Government Relations Report October 20 I 0 Page 3 There was consensus by the Committee to present the CMF Legislative Action Goals just approved to the CMF Board and Members in the same three categories that COF does: Action, Advocacy, and Monitoring. IV. March 8 & 9, 2011 F oundations on the Hill Co-Chair Andrea Cole asked all Committee members to save the dates of March 8 & 9, 2011 for CMF's annual trip to Washington to meet with members of our Congressional Delegation. T here was agreement that the differences between the CMF Action Goals and the COF Agenda need to be clearer. There was support for continuing the prioritization used this past year. Mr. Collier noted that there would be a Committee Call in February in advance of the trip to Washington. V. T alk with the Candidates Initiative Returning to the discussion held at the start of the meeting, Mr. Collier reviewed the three tools - two minutes messages, template for key points on your foundation and a sample story; and a leave behind pocket card - sent to members as part of CMF's first Talk with the Candidates Initiative. Mr. Tarnacki advised that it is important for foundation trustees and staff to remember that in attending a fundraiser for a candidate they are doing it as an individual and not as a representative of the foundation. Mr. Collier noted the growing number of Americans according to research from the Philanthropy Awareness Initiative who feels foundations can replace government funding and the importance in stating to candidates that foundations cannot do that. He noted the value in mentioning that foundations have a 25 plus year history of partnering with state government and leveraging knowledge and experience is as valuable as grants. He also reminded Committee members that with term limits it is important the three partnership structures continue: the Nonprofit Caucus with the Legislature, the Office of the Foundation Liaison w ith the Governor, and the Nonprofit Council to the Charitable Trust Section of the Office of the Attorney General. He added that all have been sent the schedule of meetings with Congressional and Gubernatorial candidates - let Sue Cuddington know if you would like to join one. There was consensus by the Committee members participating that the two minute m essages should be used at Foundations on the Hill. There being no further business Co-Chair Cole adj ourned the meeting at 4:00p.m. �Proposed 2010-11 Legislative Action Goals Statement The purpose of the Government Relations Committee of the Council of Michigan Foundations is to seek support for legislative and regulatory changes at both the state and national levels that will help to strengthen, promote and increase foundation and corporate philanthropy. The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March I, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April 12, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995; October 30, 1996; March 13, 1997; November 4, 1998; October 14, 1999; October 2, 2000, October 2, 2001, September 29, 2002, November 10, 2003, November 3, 2004, October 10,2005, October 17, 2006, October 22, 2007, October 13, 2008, November 5, 2009, and October 10, 2010. The complete Legislative Goals Statement, including national and state goals accomplished, can be viewed under Government Relations on the CMF website at www.michiganfoundations.org. This Statement focuses on the Action Goals at the National and State levels prioritized in three categories: action, advocacy, and monitoring as the Council on Foundations has prioritized its legislative agenda. 2010-11 NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE ACTION GOALS There are six National Action Goals in addition to the 13 ongoing Goals in the full Statement. ACTION I. Goal: Support simplification of the excise tax on private foundations to a flat tax that is revenue neutral for the federal government. Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from two to one percent if a foundation's payout for the year in question equals or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets, times the average payout percentage for the five years, plus 1 percent of the foundation 's net investment income. Private foundations are the only 50l(c)(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax. The current formula is difficult to administer and can limit charitable giving. While CMF has been advocating simplification of the tax to a flat one percent, as a result of the 2008 Foundations on the Hill, CMF was encouraged by members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation to have an outside fim1 complete an analysis of what a revenue neutral number would be for a flat excise tax . Cambridge Associates completed the analysis in September 2008 and recommends a revenue neutral number of 1.32%. This analysis has been shared with members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation as well as the Council on Foundations. Senate Bill 676 was introduced in March 2009 by Senators Schumer, Levin and Stabenow to introduce a revenue neutral excise tax of 1.32%. A companion bill H.R. 4090 was introduced in November 2009 by Representatives Davis of Illinois, Lewis of Georgia, and Tiberi of Ohio to implement the 1.32% for a five year period. In Apri12010 the Joint Committee on Taxation scored the revenue neutral number at 1.39% because the Committee had access to an additional year of data from the IRS. The COF Public Policy Committee has agreed that supporting this revenue neutral number is still �20 I0 -1 1 Legislative Action Go als Statement Page 2 acceptable, acknowledging that some of the larger foundations are going to end up paying a higher tax. Efforts are underway with support from both Senator Stabenow and Senator Levin to get the Senate Finance Committee to act on this legislation, before this Session of Congress concludes, with the five year pilot at a rate of 1.39%. 2. Goal: Permit tax-free distribution from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes. Explanation: Despite the projected loss of a trillion dollars in IRA retirement accounts in the 2008-09 economic recession, economists project that more than two trillion dollars still remain in these accounts. There are still Michiganders and others who do not need to take the required distribution at age 701 /2 and pay the required tax. Evidence confirms since first put into law in 2006 with bi-partisan support that individuals will support charitable activity if given the option of rolling the required distribution tax free to an eligible charitable beneficiary. Michigan Representative Dave Camp and both Senator Levin and Senator Stabenow played key roles in the inclusion of the IRA Charitable Rollover in the final version of the Pension Reform Bill signed into law by the President in August 2006. The provision allows individuals age 70 Y2 to make contributions of up to $100,000 tax free from IRAs to charitable organizations, except donor advised funds and private foundations, in both 2006 and 2007. CMF through its supporting organization, Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures, played a leading role in the development of the Charitable IRA Portfolio distributed in September 2006 to all community foundations nationwide that meet national standards for community foundations. The IRA Charitable Rollover was renewed again for 2008 and 2009. CMF has continued to promote extension of the IRA Rollover with inclusion of community foundation donor advised funds as an eligible recipient. Legislation was introduced again in 20009 by Representative Pomeroy to include community foundation donor advised funds, remove the cap of $100,000 and lower the age to 591/2. Congress did not act on this legislation, but has included extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover for 2010 as part of a package of tax credits. Expected action on the " Extenders Package" has missed countless deadlines given by Congress, and hopefully will still be acted on in 2010. If not, the IRA Charitable Rollover will need to be reintroduced in the new Congress in February 2011. 3. Goal: Support legislation that allows tax-exempt entities to invest in securities and commodities that involve indebtedness without being subject to unrelated business income tax (UBIT). This legislation would also eliminate the classification of realized gains and income, derived from leveraged real estate investments by foundations, as unrelated business taxable income. Explanation: The original intent ofUBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax) was to prevent nonprofits from competing against for-profit entities in a business that is not substantially related to its exempt purpose. Over the last twenty years, foundations and universities have invested in hedge funds and other alternative investments to increase their investment returns and reduce the volatility of their investment portfolio. Many times these investments involve leverage (debt) that would subject the foundation to UBIT. But based on Private Letter Rulings from the IRS, foundations are able invest in this area through offshore corporations �20 I0 -1 1 Legislative Action Go als Statement Page 3 as limited partners and avoid UBIT. The key issue is tax-exempt institutions should not be taxed on passive leveraged investments. In addition, income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Private foundations should be treated in the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain real property. Michigan Representative Sander Levin reintroduced legislation in September 2009, HR 3497, with support from Representatives McDem1ott and Van Hollen to create an exception to the debt finance income rules that would allow all tax-exempt entities to invest directly in on shore hedge funds without being subject to UBIT. While this legislation was passed by the House in 2009 there has been no action by the House in 2010. With Representative Levin now serving as Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, a new sponsor for this bill is being sought depending on the outcome of the November Congressional elections. CMF has written to all Michigan Representatives encouraging them to support this Bill. 4. Goal: To support legislation and regulatory reform that will make it easier for foundations to make program related investments. Explanation: Despite the ability to make program related investments, research has shown that less than 10% of foundations make these below market investments in projects with a charitable purpose. A number of foundations chose to take a conservative approach by requesting a private letter ruling from the IRS. W ith the passage of the Low Profit Limited Liability Corporation (L3C) legislation by Michigan and 7 other states, the Council on Foundations has drafted the Program Related Investments Promotion Act. Representative Levin has agreed to seek a sponsor from the House Ways and Means Committee now that he cannot introduce the Bill as Committee Chair. ADVOCACY 5. Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 2001 on creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations and promote reinstatement of the federal state estate tax credit. Explanation: The "Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001" passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President in June 2001, phases out the Estate Tax between 2002 and 2010. Full repeal however is only in effect for the year 2010. The estate tax then reverts, unless new legislation is passed, to the 2000 tax code status. It is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office in a July 2004 Report titles Charitable Bequests and the Repeal ofthe Estate Tax, that full repeal of the estate tax would annually cost the nonprofit sector $17 billion in charitable bequests. Independent Sector (IS) supports a compromise of an exemption rate of $3.5 million for an individual and a 35% tax rate. At this rate it is believed that nearly all fami ly fanns and family-owned businesses would be exempt from the estate tax. The estate tax would only apply to 0.3 percent of Americans as opposed to only 2 percent of estates today. The Congressional Budget Office further estimates in a July 2005 Report titled Effects ofthe �20 I0-1 1 Legislative Action Goals Statement Page 4 Federal Estate Tax on Farms and Small Businesses, that the IS position would decrease charitable giving by about 3 percent or $7.4 billion as opposed to $17 billion with total repeal. This goal is tied to Goal 7 under State Legislative Issues - opposing reinstatement of a state inheritance tax. Michigan was receiving funds from the federal state estate tax credit that more than offset repeal of the state inheritance tax in 1993 - a CMF Goal. The federal credit has now been phased out at a projected cost to Michigan of $200 million or more each year. Concern has been expressed on several levels that with so many states having budgetary problems, new inheritances taxes will be reinstated as a form of revenue raiser, pitting states against each other and resulting in a potential loss to Michigan of wealthy estates as was evidenced in 2007 when an effort was made to reinstate a State Inheritance Tax. Staff of Michigan Congressional Members had indicated that they expected the 2009 rates for the excise tax to be extended fo r an additional year to give Congress more time to finish work on health care reform and other priorities. While the House has approved this, the Senate has not been able to reach agreement. There is a strong effort underway to make the tax cuts permanent for all Americans with less than an annual income of $250,000. However, the Republicans would like to see them made permanent for all Americans. Led by Robin Ferriby from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, CMF continues to promote with the Washington staff of Governor Granholm, the Policy Staff of the National Governors Association and Senators Stabenow and Levin and Representatives Levin and Camp reinstatement of the Federal Credit to the States as part of the permanent fix to the Estate Tax. The lack of action by the National Governors Association on this issue that could have a cost to the Federal Treasury of 8 billion dollars a year means it is likely to be overlooked in the final discussions on the future of the Estate Tax. MONITOR 6. Goal: Monitor the proposed Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act (H.R. 5533) Explanation: While not being acted upon in this Congress, the Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act (H.R. 5533) introduced by Representative McCollum of Minnesota will likely be introduced in 2011 in the new Congress. The Act provides for creation of the U.S. Council on Nonprofit Organizations and Community Solutions; an InterAgency Working Group on Nonprofit Organizations and the Federal Government, and a single agency with the responsibility to coordinate data collection on the nonprofit sector. While supported by Independent Sector and the National Council of Nonprofits, the Council on Foundations bas yet to take a position on this Act. 2010-11 STATE LEGISLATIVE ACTION GOALS There are five action goals in addition to the 7 ongoing goals included in the fu ll Legislative Goals Statement. ACTION 1. Goal: To monitor administration of and support changes in the state tax code to continue the permanent community foundation tax credits for individuals, families and businesses. �20 I0 - 11 Legislative Action Go als Statement Page 5 Explanation: As a result of term limits CMF staff continually work with legislators to explain the tax credit and the role of community foundations in building pennanent endowments. There is an on-going effort by other nonprofit sector groups such as hospitals, schools and community development corporations to obtain targeted tax credits for endowments without acknowledgement of the potential to meet their needs through the existing community foundation tax credit. In addition, CMF staff assists Treasury Department staff to insure that the re-certification process is working with certified community foundations that cover all 83 counties. The community foundation tax credit has been included in the new Michigan Business Tax (MBT) that took effect in 2008. However, a new credit for endowment gifts to K-12 education foundations has been added to the section of the MBT covering the community foundations tax credit. Efforts continue to separate this new credit from the community foundation tax credit as part of additional legislation on the MBT. organization to introduce legislation in Michigan. AD VOCA C Y 2. Goal: Support legislation to simplify the Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act (COSA). Explanation: Community foundations are required, as well as other charitable nonprofits, to file for an annual solicitation license. The licensing, enforcement, and appeal processes do not reflect the changing cost in fundrais ing. The Michigan Nonprofit Association is leading the effort on this issue and new legislation is expected in 2011. The following is a list of the changes that would be beneficial to Michigan' s Nonprofit Community by enabling more streamlined processing of fi les for those charities wishing to solicit donations and more effective enforcement of standards to protect Michigan charities from undue pressures and competition from the few who are "charities" in name only: • Increasing the filing threshold from $8,000 to $25,000, • Changing the processing from a licensing procedure to registration, clarifying that a charity is registered upon fil ing of the proper information, unless notified of deficiencies. • More effective enforcement provisions to protect the nonprofit community from undue competition from fraudulent fundraising and questionable activities of those organizations that do not operate for the benefit of their constituents. 3. Goal: Support legislation to exempt youth volunteer activities from work permit requirements. Explanation : The work permit requirement in the Youth Employment Standards Act does not specifically exempt volunteer activities. Therefore, those minors who perform volunteer work for charitable organizations- such as the estimated 1,500 high school students who volunteer for community foundation youth advisory councils each year, are most likely required to obtain work permits, usually from the school where the minor is enrolled. Legislation has been introduced as the first legislative goal of the bi-partisan Nonprofit Caucus and is through the Senate with action expected by the House in the closing days �20 I0-1 1 Legislative Action Goals Statement Page6 of this Session. It is expected that Governor Granholm will be signing this Bill before she leaves offices on December 31. 4. Goal: Support legislation to clarify the Sales Tax Exemption for Fundraising Purposes. Explanation: Nonprofits currently must pay sales tax on items used to raise funds for their organizations, since it is not a direct program expense. The Nonprofit Caucus supports amending the General Sales Tax Act to clarify that products purchased by 501(c)3 and (c)4 organizations to carry out administrative or fundraising activities would clearly be exempt from sales tax. Legislation has been introduced but will likely have to be reintroduced in 2011. MONITOR 5. Goal: To monitor and oppose efforts by the Greenlining Institute, as they did in California, or other organizations to legislate at the state (or federal) level reporting requirements on diversity for foundations, their grantees and vendors. Explanation: California Assembly Bill 624 would have required all foundations (30) in California with more than $250 million to provide annual documentation on the ethnic diversity of foundation trustees, staff, as well as grantees and vendors. While there was widespread opposition to this Bill, it did pass the Assembly and was withdrawn from consideration only after a group of large private foundations promised to take action on the issue. Staff of the Greenlining Institute of Berkeley Cal ifornia, author of the legislation, has met with Congressional leaders in the Ways and Means Committee to encourage introduction of this legislation at the federal level and has also been active in Florida and Pennsylvania to try to get state legislation advanced. Because in part ofCMF's Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, the CMF Board passed in 2008 a resolution to join with the regional associations of grantmakers in California to oppose California Assembly Bill 624 because this legislation: • ignores the commitment of many of our members to better refl ect, represent, and serve all populations through the impact of the operations - governance, staffing, business practices and grantmaking - of organized philanthropy, • mandates the collection of data related to the diversity of our boards, staff and grantees that may be impossible to accurately collect, and • has the potential to both negatively impact the very diverse populations and communities it seeks to serve, and to slow-rather than grow - philanthropy and philanthropy's commitment to serve such populations. In addition it passed a Resolution in 2008 to support the call to action from the Council on Foundations that all of philanthropy join in a growing commitment to respond to the appropriate concerns about our lack of progress to date and our collective commitment to increasing our value for and leadership to the importance of diversity and inclusiveness in all that we do. There have been no efforts in 2010 by the Greenlining Institute or another organization to introduce legislation in Michigan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
