�Foundations for a New Economy:
The Michigan Fund for Innovation &amp; Entrepreneurship
Executive Summary
M ichigan's economy and business culture are rooted in traditional manufacturing businesses
that fueled our country' s growth throughout the 201h century. Unfortunately, with the growth
in power of electronics and the internet, the economic foundations of the US have shifted
away from manufacturing (which now is responsible for less than 15% of the GDP) toward
knowledge-based industries. Nevertheless, the state of Michigan has the potential to share in,
and even be a driver of, the economic success of the United States in the 21st century. Other
regions (such as the West Coast and the Northeast) have shown that the rapid movement
toward knowledge-based economies depends primarily on leveraging the enonnous
intellectual capital that exists in local, world-class universities and colleges. We are fortunate
in the State of Michigan that a remarkably strong and competitive higher education
infrastructure exists. Our public colleges and universities collectively draw more than $1.5
billion in R&amp;D funding each year into the state, creating a nearly limitless and constantly
renewable resource of creativity, innovation, human and physical infrastructure, and business
acumen that stands ready to be leveraged to our state' s advantage.
Today, the University of Michigan and its peer institutions across the state propose to the
Foundation community a set of strategically targeted steps to establish a new future based on
entrepreneurship that will grow alongside the traditional manufacturing economy that
currently dominates and slows the economic prosperity ofthe upper Midwest. Provided a
significant infusion of philanthropic and investment dollars, we propose to
•
•
•
•

•

Develop effective and long lasting partnerships between academia, industry, and
government to leverage existing infrastructure, resources and expertise;
Generate risk capital whose purpose is directed exclusively to founding new
ventures within the State of Michigan;
Make education and investment in entrepreneurship a priority;
Develop an entrepreneurial environment in the state at the policy and investment
levels; and a cultural and technical environment in our cities that can sustain new and
diversified knowledge enterprises in Michigan;
Create a culture of innovation in Michigan that supports a willingness to take risks,
to continue learning and changing across a lifetime, and to fully develop and retain the
talents and skills necessary for a knowledge economy.

Our objective is to create the means to rebuild our communities based on prosperity
derived from a diverse foundation of knowledge-based industries.
To accomplish this goal, to literally transform the economic competitiveness of the rust-belt,
we seek funding for a collaborative venture called the Michigan Fund for Innovation &amp;
Entrepreneurship.

�Three strategic funds will emerge from this unique fund , built on $125 million from our
state's leading Foundations.
•

•

•

A Gap Fund to be distributed and invested in two linked strategies managed by a
consortium of research universities, and involving regional partnerships with the
research universities, community colleges and local economic development
groups. This fund will provide substantial resources to move innovative ideas in
the laboratories and classrooms in our state institutions of higher learning and
research into a phase that can attract substantial venture investment for new
businesses to be established in Michigan. ($80 million to be reinvested)
A Talent Retention Fund that establishes a context for researchers, practitioners
and the business community to exchange ideas, improve and readily start
businesses in the state. ($30 million to be regranted)
An Entrepreneurial Education Fund directed at improving the level of
understanding within the state's educational institutions about how to achieve
commercial success from concept through the practice of entrepreneurship. ($15
million to be regranted)

Each set of activities wi ll be enhanced by the local and regional matches that the participating
research institutions will provide, and these activities will also draw s ignificantly from other
private and public resources. Each will be organized through a collaborative structure that has
local decision-making capabilities on a hub-and-spoke design.

Given past experience with an existing coLlaborative that has engaged
research universities, we can project leverage ofat least $330 million on
the initial $80 miLlion Gap Fund investment, and regional matching and
investment on both the Talent Retention and Entrepreneurial Education
Funds that double those investments and expand their impact.
Furthermore, we project that this venture will result in at least one
hundred new start-up ventures in the state ofMichigan.
In addition, we propose the establishment of a $100 million Co-investment Seed Fund that
contributes both private and public endowment monies for investment in Michigan-based
ventures that will fonn the foundation of the new economy.
For the first of these funds, the M ichigan Fund for Innovation &amp; Entrepreneurship, we
propose a formal collaboration among the public research and higher education institutions
that is modeled on the successful Michigan Universities Commercialization Initiative
(MUCI), originally created through the auspices of the Michigan Economic Development
Corporation approximately five years ago. Begun by three public universities, it has now
grown to include ten university and research institution partners.

2

�The Michigan Fund board and regional partnerships and advisory groups, established as a
distinct sponsored entity, will oversee investment strategies that are founded on a vision of
supporting Michigan knowledge-based industrial potential, recruitment and retention of talent
in the state, and creation of an environment that encourages risk-taking and deal-making.
For the second, the Co-Investment Seed Fund, we stand ready to help build the consortium
and advise on ways that it can most effectively interact with the Michigan Fund to provide
even greater leverage, return on investment and opportunities for the economic revitalization
of our regional economies.

�Introduction
Michigan's economy and business culture are deeply rooted in traditional manufacturing
businesses that fueled our country's growth throughout the 20111 century. Unfortunately, with
the growth in power of electronics and the internet, the economic foundations of the United
States have shifted away from manufacturing (which now is responsible for less than 15% of
the gross domestic product) toward knowledge-based industries. This change has left the
Michigan and Great Lakes regional economies weakened and uncompetitive on a global scale.
Indeed, other regions have pulled ahead in the hard work ofleveraging the knowledge
economy, building new capacities and creating new industries. In a "flat world" with its
increasingly knowledge-driven economy, there are several critical steps that Michigan must
take if the people of this state are to succeed in the transition of our economic base. Among
these are a dedication to improving access to and readiness for college, encouragement of
lifelong learning and developing resil ience, and investing in a broad, entrepreneurial (i .e.,
risk-based) high technology industrial sector.
One clear advantage in effecting this transition is the superlative, internationally recognized
system of higher education in which the state has invested since its admission into the Union.
Indeed, states that have successfully leveraged the resources of higher education (most
notably California, Massachusetts and Washington) have most readily adapted to the changes
in the new global economic environment. Michigan will share in that success only if it
undergoes a shift from manufacturing to a diversified, knowledge-based economy, finding its
own path to leveraging the enormous and unique resources provided by the state's institutions
of higher learning.
Today, the University of Michigan and its peers and colleagues across the state propose to the
Foundation community a set of targeted steps to establish the foundations of a new business
ecology based on knowledge industries in the region:
•

Develop effective and long lasting partnerships between academia, industry and
government to maximally leverage existing infrastructure, resources and expertise;

•

Generate risk capital whose purpose is directed exclusively to founding new ventures
within the state of Michigan;

•

Make education and investment in entrepreneurship a priority;

•

Develop an entrepreneurial environment in the state at the policy and investment
levels, and a cultural and technical environment in our cities, which can establish new
and diversified knowledge enterprises in Michigan;

•

Create a new culture of innovation in Michigan that supports a willingness to take
risks, to continue learning and changing across a lifetime, and to fully develop and
retain the talents and skills necessary for a knowledge economy; and

•

Create means to rebuild our communities based on prosperity derived from new
industries.

�Michigan's higher education community can forge the links between philanthropy and these
goals. The state's universities already collaborate to invest in invention and
commercialization, building on a research powerhouse that collectively conducts more than
$1.5 billion (annually) in research activity. While there are many challenges to initiating
successful university spin-off companies, the state's research universities have made
important progress in the last five years, and have made the commitment to building a
growing community of innovation and risk. Regionally, these universities and locally-based
community colleges and economic development organizations will be able to expand their
partnerships and focus energies on entrepreneurial endeavors and new business development.
The pipel ine of opportunities created at Michigan 's public colleges and universities is already
resulting in expanding networks within the venture capital community, in Michigan and
throughout the nation. This broad-based initiative, w ith momentum, leadership, collaboration
and outreach, will enable a new and ambitious strategy to take root at multiple levels and in
multiple geographic sites throughout the state.
Despite the federal and corporate research dollars on the one side, fueling basic research and
early invention, and a credible venture capital community that is willing to invest in new
business ideas on the other- there remain several key "gaps" that, nevertheless, must be filled
if we are to accelerate the transformation onto a healthier economic footing.
The University of Michigan and its partners propose today to address those gaps in existing
structures and to build new partnerships to make those strategies sustainable, for the long
haul.

5

�The Proposal
Michigan's philanthropic community, research universities, and colleges are able today to join
forces to invest strategically to achieve significant gains in shaping a new culture of
innovation and risk. The University of Michigan, in partnership with other state-supported
institutions of higher education, proposes the creation of a shared, renewable fund for
innovation and entrepreneurship that will create a significant difference in the evolution of the
regional economy.
The Michigan Fund for Innovation &amp; Entrepreneurship has three components which,
taken together, will create an ecology of self-sustaining entrepreneurship and economic
growth. The partnership underlying the Michigan Fund will redefine Michigan's approach to
launching businesses and industries, resulting in the state taking a leadership role in
transfonning the decaying rust-belt manufacturing base into a global economic force.
To achieve these ambitious goals requires the rapid establishment of three investment and
education strategies within the $ 125 million Michigan Fund:
•

A Gap Fund that provides substantial resources- within the consortium of research
universities and through regional partnerships- to move innovative ideas in the
laboratory into a phase that can attract substantial venture investment for new
businesses to be established in Michigan.

•

A Talent Retention Fund that establishes a context for researchers and the business
community to exchange ideas and readily start businesses in the state.

•

An Entrepreneurial Educational Fund directed at improving the level of experience
and understanding within the state's educational institutions about how to achieve
success with a commercializable concept through the practice of entrepreneurship.

A companion strategy and fund focused on increasing the venture capital available for
start- up companies would further leverage these angel and early-stage efforts. The
universities recommend a privately-managed fund of at least $100 million to provide venture
capital dedicated to companies with a strong promise for success. This Co-Investment Seed
Fund would also be committed to securing capital to provide for companies that plan to
succeed within the state ofMichigan .
Taken together, the Co-Investment Seed Fund and the Michigan Fund w ill launch a new
era for concentrated business development and start-up across the state of Michigan. We urge
a launch of sufficient scale that creates significant visibility, impact, and momentum, and a
profile that invites interest and commitment from the broadest cross-section of the Michigan
industrial, capital and educational sectors. Hence, we suggest that the University of Michigan
help to facilitate a partnership between the state's foundations, the other great state
institutions of higher learning and research, and our powerful but dispersed fami ly of venture
capital and creative leadership.

6

�The University of Michigan proposes today to propel the Michigan Fund from concept
to full implementation --engaging foundations, universities, and venture capitalists in new
and creative ways. The proposal for defining its goals, establishing its structures and funding
its work, is described in the following document.

To ensure that we are successful in mobilizing all of the educational and entrepreneurial
resources related to our State universities and community colleges, we propose that a network
of regional programs be established across Michigan. Each would be anchored at a State
university, and would include all public institutions of higher learning in the region, as well as
SmartZones and related entities. Experience has shown that attending to the specific regional
resources and business opportunities will result in better economic development outcomes,
and we believe that many local opportunities will emerge that, while not being driven by
technology derived from research, may grow from other forms of knowledge, expertise, and
entrepreneurial energy emanating from a range of institutions of higher education. We expect
that four such regional centers would adequately serve the state, and that these would be
guided by strong principles governing their oversight, clear criteria dictating how projects are
selected and funded, and a central process of on-going assessment and evaluation to validate
the economic development impacts of selected projects.
The Co-Investment Seed Fund will require professional, external (arms-length)
management to be fully successful, and will be designed in a way that allows for strategic
targeting of venture investments toward well-managed funds with foci in the state of
Michigan. This fund is proposed as a profit-making investment tool with the goal oflocating
the most promising new ventures within Michigan. The University of Michigan has convened
talent from both within and outside the state to contribute to our collaborative efforts with the
foundations with the objective of defining the appropriate goals and structures of such
investment vehicles. While this fund will not provide the only sources of investment
opportunities, it would be expected that over time, many of the enterprises catalyzed by the
Michigan Fund for Innovation &amp; Entrepreneurship would be targets for the Seed Fund
investments. As new opportunities grow (for venture quality start-ups as well as other
business opportunities requiring other sources of capital to grow), the focus and purposes of
these funds may adapt as required.
The Michigan Fund for Innovation &amp; Entrepreneurship

Three interconnected efforts among the state's research universities will ensure the success of
transfonning the Michigan economy. Each has the capacity to leverage significant other
resources. Each will prove to be an important precursor and partner to the private, CoInvestment Seed Fund created by the leading investors in the state.

increased federal, state and private investments. The impact of this fund must
noticeably transform the number of viable technologies moving into the
marketplace in Michigan. We propose a gap fund of$50M to be dedicated to
research-based university gap funding opportunities.
The Michigan Fund would also create $30M in funding to be regranted
through four regional partnerships (see page 15 and Appendix I) in order to
engage community colleges, university outreach, community and economic
development organizations, and local SmartZones in regional gap fund and
start-up opportunities.
Criteria and decisionmaking processes will be modeled on existing
collaborations, and expanded to engage entrepreneurial opportunities
emanating from public colleges statewide.
In five years at this level of investment, we anticipate that 100 start-up
companies will emerge, based on experience with the MEDC-funded MUCI
(Michigan Universities Commercialization Initiative, see Appendix II).

Universities and their research partners could create significant impact across
the state with annual funding of approximately $3M for each of the next five
years.
Regional regranting opportunities could be leveraged with an additional $3M
over each ofthe next five years, engaging local colleges and universities in
regional entrepreneurial strategies.

Entrepreneurial Educational Funds for making the deep resources ofthe universities
more accessible to start-up talent, and for training savvy entrepreneurs in all
disciplines in elements of business development. This fund is the cornerstone of our
vision of creating an entrepreneurial culture in the state of Michigan--- $15M

o

U-M and partner universities and colleges will raise matching funds to make
$3M for each of the next five years stretch into high-impact programs invested
in creating ' critical mass' of entrepreneurial energy. Regional partnerships
could oversee this granting process, engaging any of the partners in the
Michigan Fund in outreach and education opportunities.

These approaches frame a re-tooled service mission for universities and their technology
transfer operations, and for colleges and their outreach programs. They would invest in and
build upon our commitment to the creation of campuses that integrate entrepreneurial activity
at their core, and in our interactions with the surrounding communities. Campuses would be
energized by the curriculum changes, the outreach efforts, and the engagement of a wider
spectrum of potential industry partners. The statewide collaborative effort will be launched to
create a sense of scale and urgency that naturally generates the momentum to move Michigan
on a determined path to economic growth.

8

�Together, these programs can drive business activities that build capacity, help students and
faculty pursue their entrepreneurial interests, and grow innovation that stays in the state of
Michigan. This is ultimately directed toward creating a nucleus of innovation that revitalizes
and diversifies the aging manufacturing economies of the rust belt region.

The Opportunity

In Michigan today, we have a unique opportunity to reshape our economy to better address
the evolving needs of our society. Rarely in our state has there been a better time to think in
these tenns: the publ ic universities, state government, industry and the foundation community
all recognize the urgency and the necessity to create fundamental changes in our economic
structures.
This change, being led by Michigan, has the potential to transfonn the entire industrial
Midwest region, the manufacturing engine of economic prosperity and growth in 201h century
America.
If the state's great higher education community acts quickly, strategically and as a team, there
is every reason to believe that renewed leadership in the 21 st Century will emerge from a
reshaped Michigan economy that is attuned to, and willing to invest in, a new knowledgebased design for growth and investment.
Led by the major research institutions of the state, engaging community and local college
networks, and guided by our foundation partners, this important and large-scale initiative is
the seed from which to grow Michigan's transformation.

9

�The Business Plan
The Michigan Fund will primarily be directed toward changing the economy toward higher
risk, but also higher payoff technology-based start up companies. There are three major
components of the Michigan Fund for Innovation--Gap Funds, Talent Retention Funds, and
Entrepreneurial Education Funds--each requiring somewhat different oversight and balance
between central and local management. The Michigan Fund, therefore, consists of all
elements of the program except the Co-Investment Seed Fund.
Combined, these funds will be founded with $125 million in philanthropic investment, all
targeted at achieving a critical mass of early stage investment and a support system for
business creation. Each will be flexible and sufficiently transparent to allow for local control,
strategy setting, and leveraging, to maximize the potential success around a particular
research university. This is particularly important given that successful establishment of new
companies largely depends on the local availabil ity of supporting infrastructure and talent.
Hence, it is important to locate industries close to the appropriate research institution that can
supply the technical infrastructure, but the choice of opportunity must also draw on managers
and supporting industries that exist in a "critical mass" near the new venture. For all of these
activities, there is added value by working closely with regional SmartZones, local agencies
such as Ann Arbor SPARK, Southwest Michigan Innovation Center, MichBio, Southwest
Michigan First, West Michigan Science and Technology Initiative, Detroit Renaissance, and
Automation Alley, as just a few examples.
The Gap Funds

Establishing a robust Gap Fund is the single most important element of our plan. Other
regions that have successfully catapulted their economies into the knowledge revolution have
heavily leveraged their base of research and invention. To understand the investment "gap"
that exists in Michigan, the graphic below maps the progress that a new concept makes in its
path from a lab bench concept to a successful and robust industry. The gap that requires
substantial attention exists between the steps of Basic Research and Seed funding. The Seed
investment emerges to finance a new company once the translational research has been
largely completed. Filling this gap provides strong incentives for university researchers to
move their basic concepts into a more practical realization, and creates significant value that
will lead to investments that provide incentives to the company to set up shop in Michigan .
A significant portion - $50 million of the $80 million proposed- in the Gap Fund will support
inventions emerging from technology and discovery-based research, and the remaining $30
million will be invested regionally, based on other kinds of knowledge, expertise, and "know
how" emerging from colleges and universities.
The Research-based Gap Fund activities will be managed from a central organization that
includes principals from the participating research institutions, the contributing foundations,
and the venture and business communities. There must be sufficient technical depth and
business acumen present within the organization to make choices among many incumbent
opportunities that will optimize chances for success. Specifically, the Research-based Gap
Fund will seek to

The Knowledge-based Gap Fund activities will be managed by each of the "spoke"
partnership organizations, as described in the next section on Fund Operations, to reflect the
need for savvy, local business knowledge, and a capacity to assess the fit between emerging
business ideas and local opportunities.

II

�Talent Retention Fund
This fund is established to more efficiently promote engagement between the regional
economies, public universities and community colleges. This is one of two keys (the other
being the Entrepreneurial Education Fund) needed to change the culture for innovation in
Michigan. It will require work on several fronts to move toward a know ledge-based economy
infused with a high amount of risk capital.
The principle purposes of the Talent Retention Fund will be to

•

Support student and faculty engagement in entrepreneurial ventures, to retain
talent in Michigan;

•

Catalyze collaborations and partnerships between industry and research
institutions to create greater opportunities for expansion and retention of talent;
and

•

Provide common meeting grounds between the business and academic
communities.

This fund seeks to facilitate mutually beneficial connections between the needs of Michigan
industry and the state's educational assets, beyond the licensor/licensee relationship, and to
promote innovative business opportunities based on the research and expertise of faculty and
staff at Michigan colleges and universities. The needs of industry and the regional economy
for technological competitiveness are diverse. Our state colleges and universities possess
abundant intellectual (expertise, engineers, scientists and students, patents, etc.) and physical
(e.g., labs and equipment) assets that can be cooperatively employed to assist industry in
meeting their needs while also promoting new ventures. The Talent Retention Fund goal is to
substantially improve the ease of use and deepen the effectiveness of such linkages by
encouraging collaborative projects with a competitive structure modeled after the MUCI
Challenge Fund (Appendix II).
This fund will provide an incentive to collaborate with colleges and universities on projects
that have the potential for intellectual property development, technology transfer, licensing
opportunities, business start-up, and general improvement of industry competitiveness.
Examples of such projects include a company using specialized university equipment to test a
product, a faculty/student team working on solving a particular industry problem, or an
interdisciplinary university team helping industry to reposition a product in a different market.
The projects will function as case studies to develop further effective models for
collaboration.

Entrepreneurial Education Funds
This final element is also directed toward making a fundamental change in the Michigan
business and educational cultures. Its focus is to generate a sustainable generation of
entrepreneurs who will develop roots in the state. This is primarily an educational activity,
and hence it must be shaped at each participating institution to meet the particular needs of the
12

�institutional culture, the region and the student body that it serves. Its success, therefore,
depends on tight integration with the curricular and outreach activity at each university or
cluster of universities, should these be collaborative inter-institutional efforts. We hope to
build in the efforts of the Michigan Entrepreneurial Education Network (MEEN) which has
been active statewide in such efforts with support from MEDC and the Herbert H. and Grace
A. Dow Foundation. In addition, the Zell-Lurie Institute at the University of Michigan has
become a national model for participatory education in entrepreneurism that crosses the
boundaries between the Ross School of Business and the College of Engineering, and the
Schools of Medicine, Information and others across our campuses. The fund will
•

Support innovative internships with entrepreneurial businesses and fund managers;

•

Develop integrated education of the disciplines and business; and

•

Support programs to promote faculty engagement in community-oriented
entrepreneurial activity.

Fund Operations
H ub and Spoke Organization

The organization that will effectively deploy these critical investments across the state must
be capable of maintaining a focus on the core objectives of the program while promoting an
agile and rapid decision-making process. Further, it must take full advantage of regional
resources, local commitment to the program, and business opportunities created by existing
infrastructure. The organizational model proposed is therefore based on a central hub, with a
distributed regional capacity. This organization must be established and periodically
monitored for its effectiveness in meeting the overall goals of improving the economic
competitiveness of the state of Michigan. Such a model should provide oversight and
establish clear standards for success, while allowing for optimal participation by those most
familiar with the specific strengths of each university and regional economy. It must also
serve to facilitate the engagement and financial commitment of the regional and local
Foundations.

$30M
Knowledge-based Gap
Fund

With an anticipated launch by U-M in Summer 2007, the Michigan Fund for Innovation &amp;
Entrepreneurship will have an organizational structure characterized by transparency,
efficiency, and accountability. A Governing Board composed of key leaders from both
higher education and Foundations will provide the overall governance, has the discretion to
approve a Fund Management Committee, and will approve criteria for research-based
investments as well as regional entrepreneurial grants and programs. In addition to a Fund
Management Committee, described below, there would be four regional "spokes", each a
partnership with the capacity to make awards in accordance with guidelines established by the
Board. (A more complete description of the organization is provided in Appendix I.)

14

�Participating Organizations
While the criteria for participation and will be detailed in agreed-upon by-laws, the following
regionally distributed organizations are expected to be included in the initial activities
outlined in this plan:

•

Public university

•

Community College

In addition, Michigan's SmartZones and other economic development organizations will
participate in these activities, as well as numerous business and finance organizations may
partner or contribute on individual projects. Some individual projects may include
collaborations with the network of Community Colleges in the state as well as private
institutions of higher education and independent research organizations.
15

�Managing Investment and Grants
The Fund Management Committee will be designed in a consortia! arrangement modeled after
MEDC's MUCI Challenge Fund Committee (see Appendix II). It will establish the basic
criteria for funding awards in all Fund categories, formulating the specific criteria, application
and review processes, and defining evaluation standards for perfonnance, both centrally and
in each of the regional "spoke" partners. In addition, this advisory group will oversee the
Research-based Gap Fund.
To illustrate how the Funds would be managed, we provide an in-depth example description
of the Research-based Gap Fund. Similar guidelines w ill be developed for the other funds
once the Fund Management Committee assumes its responsibilities.
Making Awards: Research-based Gap Funds
To address the need for efficiency and agility, the fund will be divided into several types of
awards, some of which may require meeting "eligibility'' standards and be managed by the
university requesting the award, while others w ill require more extensive competitive review
by an expert panel. Local universities and regional collaborations will create boards from
within their communities - thus boards best suited to understand the needs of a particular
participating organization will be set up to manage the Entrepreneurial Education and Talent
Retention Funds, and will make recommendations to the Governing Board and Fund
Management Committee regarding local opportunities and requirements.

Fast Track Modular Awards
The shared experiences with MUCI have offered an understanding of the type of requests that
are likely to yield the greatest prospects for success within Michigan. A "menu" of
opportunities will be established as shown by example in Table 1, with an application form
that requires rapid assessment of eligibility of a particular concept. Awards can be rapidly
made when items from the menu are proposed for a specific technology, as long as basic
eligibility is met and the requested amount is within the acceptable range. All such awards
will have reporting and accounting requirements and, as described later in this plan, an
evaluation process will be employed to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to make
best use of funds.
Fast track awards are designed for optimal flexibility and speed:
•
•
•

Part of work may already be complete before proposal submission;
Institutional or industry matching funds are required;
Award cycles for these categories are ongoing and continuous, rather than
organized by quarter or other structured calendar.

Competitive Awards with Full Review
Proposals that exceed the Fast Track Modular amounts require full review by the Gap Fund
Management Committee. Such reviews will be conducted monthly, and application
particulars regarding the format ofthe proposal, required supporting documents, and criteria
for award will be available to proposers on-line. Decisions will be made in a time frame that
will not impede rapid commercialization, but will also require planning and engagement by
university staff in preparing applications and working with the staff of the program.
Matching and Payback of Funds, Enabling Later Venture Capital
While gap investments are high risk and therefore difficult to secure, there is also a limited
potential for high financial returns should the technology develop and find a commercialization vehicle. To ensure that institutions are deploying their own "risk" capital to maximum
benefit, we expect a match ofat least 50% for all Gap Fund awards. Since nonnal indirect
costs associated with such awards will be required, a credit of 20% of the award amount will
be issued toward this match. The balance needs to be an identifiable allocation of dedicated
staff, facilities, or cash.
The principles of payback for gap investments by the program are 1) to strive for some degree
of support from revenue generated by successful investments 2) without burdening the
potential "deal" with complicated claims that might deter future investment.
•

•

For most awards where less than $100,000 is allocated for a particular technology, it
is expected that universities will pay back three times the amount of the award from
the annual revenues associated with the successful technology. The expectation is
that at least 20% of the annual revenue associated with the technology will eventually
be returned to the fund by this mechanism.
For investments over $ 100,000, there will be an expectation of payback greater than
three times the award amount, but related to the success of the technology. Thus, at
above $100,000 the formula will include, in addition to the regular three times
payback, an escalator of 5% of revenues above that amount for the duration of
revenue generation for the institution.

17

�The payback will provide for a source of funds to sustain the activity into the long term. An
estimation of the return from the gap funding is shown in the graph below.

Making Awards: Knowledge-based Gap Funds, Talent Retention, and Entrepreneurial
Education

Not all thriving enterprises will arise from licensable technology, the purpose of the
Knowledge-based Gap Fund, to be administered according to centrally detem1ined standards
in each "spoke" organization, w ill be to stimulate the growth of existing businesses and the
formation of new ones that, while based on knowledge, expertise or "know how," are not
governed by the same framework as technology-driven licensing.
There will be many elements in common with the criteria and categories of the Researchbased Gap Fund, though these elements will be adapted to the differing requirements of nontechnology licensing opportunities. For example, Business Plan Development and Market
Research would be highly used categories in awards from this Fund.
Likewise, the distribution of awards for the Talent Retention and Entrepreneurial Education
Funds will follow centrally developed guidelines that w ill require the clear achievement of
milestones. By using the regional partnerships to make such awards, we hope to foster interinstitutional collaborations around high priority local needs and the pooling of complementary
resources across communities.

�Financing and Leverage
The activities of the Michigan Fund will take time to organize and ramp up over the life of
the project. Table 2 provides the plan for investment that meets the combined goals of
rapidly making a significant difference to the entrepreneurial climate in Michigan, while at
the same time resulting in responsible custodianship of the funds provided .

While it is expected that the state's leading Foundations wi ll collaborate in the formation of a
central statewide fund, we recognize that some Foundations will have more capacity for
investing in projects specific to one of the "regional spokes" associated with their mission
(e.g., Community Foundations). This strategy embraces both, and creates leadership and
participation possibilities across a broad geographic and financial range.
As the partners within the higher education community develop their own regional strategies,
it is likely that focused foundation and corporate partners will also want to participate. For
example, U-M's southeast Michigan initiatives may be suitable for Community Foundation
investment. Likewise, Grand Valley State University and the Van Andel Institute strategies
might draw local funding from the Grand Rapids Community Foundation or philanthropic and
business leaders there. We would expect that such fund ing would be available in the major
metropolitan areas of the state, provided there exists a strong central core with which to
provide uniformity of vision and momentum.
In addition, the participant matching component of the Gap Fund provides additional
resources. We anticipate significant leverage in both private and public funds within the pool
of startup companies, both ofwhich are summarized in Table 3 below. We can further predict
that the $50 million direct philanthropic investment in Research-based Gap Funding by
leading Michigan Foundations will leverage at least $330 million in additional investment
(Table 4, below).

Start-Up Structure and Timing
It is imperative that the funds be made operational as quickly as possible to ensure the largest
possible impact early on during the life of the program. The proposed start-up working
structure will be designed such that it will grow into the final configuration within six months
ofprogram commencement.
To manage this phase, the University of Michigan, through the auspices of its Office of the
V ice President fo r Research, will be the start-up hosting organization. U-M will assign an
interim Director and staff to manage the fu nds, and will begin implementing the legal
structure of the organization through the assistance with U-M's Office of the General
20

�Counsel. Temporary space w ill be assigned for the Michigan Fund. During this interim
period, permanent facilities w ill be identified in Ann Arbor to host the central hub activities of
the organization. A primary function of the interim organization will be to engage other
partner universities and colleges, initially starting with Wayne State and M ichigan State
Universities, and to organize regional spokes from the various regional universities and
colleges, the participating ing Foundations, other regional collaborators and industry.
The investments and energies contributed by the educational institutions are significant: the
University of Michigan alone invests more than $2 million per year in technology transfer;
some $1 00 million in research on campus; and draws almost $800 million in research funding
into the University and the state. The research enterprise across our public institutions is
near ly $1.5 billion each year. What we pr opose her e is to lever age that enor mous
r esour ce into business development and the rebuilding of our economic b ase. We also
propose to engage the community outreach and regional collaborations that originate at the
state's community colleges and economic development centers, and to create circles of
leverage statewide.

Measuring Success
A program with the intention to "cha nge the playing field" must have metrics against which
success is measured in real time. If the performance falls short of that performance, then
changes must be implem ented as soon as practical. For this reason, we propose a set of
mt::Lrics against which prugn:ss will bt: mt:asurt:d un a st:mi-annual scht:dult:, with tht: rt:sulls
brought before the Governing Board as well as the boards of the individual program elements
to determine future courses of action.
Among the metrics to be used are the following:
• Number of new partnerships
• Number of ' quality' new spin-off companies
• Number of placements of students in key roles in emerging industries
• Assessing our cultural value:
o Are Michigan universities becoming known as "partners of choice"
for industry and venture?
o Is our state and region known as a center for innovation?
o Is our profile distinct?
• Amount and adequacy of external resources attracted to lead to sustainable
statewide entrepreneurship
As noted above, based on recent experience with the MEDC-funded MUCI (Appendix II), in
5 years at this level of investment, it is expected that as many as 100 start-up companies will
emerge from the research-based gap funding process alone. But taken together with the
Entrepreneurial Education and Talent Retention efforts, a tangible change in the
entrepre neurial climate in Michigan will emerge, with the result of making this state an
identifiable " place to make deals" and to start new knowledge-based businesses.

21

�Conclusion
In Michigan, we have a unique opportunity to reshape our economy to better address the
modem needs of our society. Rarely in our state has there been a better time to think in these
terms: the public universities, state government, business and the foundation community all
recognize the urgency and the necessity to create fundamental changes in our economic
structures. This change, being led by the state of Michigan, has the potential to transfonn the
entire industrial Midwest region, the historical engine of economic prosperity and growth in
201h century America.
If we act quickly, strategically and as a team, there is every reason to believe that continued
leadership in the 21 st century w ill emerge from a reshaped Michigan economy. We offer
ourselves and our peers as partners to the Foundations of the state, willing to collaborate and
deliver results that emanate from our modest successes accomplished thus far. What we
propose to the foundations is significant in scale and deeply important to our shared future.
This initiative, led by the major research institutions of the state, engaging all of the public
higher education community, and guided by our Foundation partners, is the seed from which
to grow this transfom1ation.

22

�Appendix 1:
The Organization
The overall organization of the Michigan Fund for Innovation &amp; Entrepreneurship is
shown in the diagram below. The Governing Board, comprised of principles appointed from
the research institutions, Foundations, and industry, will provide strategic leadership for all
Fund activities. The Board w ill ensure that overlapping interests from entrepreneurs across
the state are well represented by establishing mechanisms for distribution of resources from
the various funds. The Governing Board will have a direct management role in the Michigan
Fund for Innovation, consisting of the Gap, Entrepreneurial Education, and Talent Retention
Funds, and will have an advisory role w ith the foundation and broader investment
communities through its connection with the Co-Investment Seed Fund.
Each regional partnership will have an operating committee and a staffl iaison to the Fund
Management Committee.

Structure
A new entity will be developed and hosted by the University ofMichigan that allows for the
management of diverse sources of charitable contributions and other resources, and their
allocation to other non-profit organizations. By-laws and articles for incorporation will be
developed jointly by U-M and other state universities, the Council of Michigan Foundations
23

�and a Board of Directors selected from senior Foundation and University leadership (with
additional members from the industrial and financial sectors selected by mutual consent). The
Board of Directors w ill also have oversight over and appointment authority for members of
the "regional spokes" and the Fund Management Committee.

Staffing Requirements for the University Innovation Fund
While many roles related to the "regional spokes" will be filled by institutional officers and
faculty who are working on projects or volunteering their effort in support of the program, the
success of the Gap Funds will require dedicated staff hired to administer and promote its
activities, as well as to serve as advisors and assistants in the fonnulation of proposals and
business plans, the attraction of business interest in a particular technology, the provision or
identification of expert resources, etc. It is anticipated that initially at least three staff persons
w ill be required to manage the Research-based Gap Fund: a Fund Director, a Business
Resource Analyst, and a Business Manager. The number and type of staffwi ll increase as
Fund activity grows. In addition, each ' regional spoke" will require at least one dedicated
staff person, who will also serve as liaison to the central Fund Management Committee.

24

�Appendix II:
MUCI (Michigan Universities Commercialization Initiative)
MUCI is the model after which we will model the organization of the proposed Innovation
Fund. Here we describe the MUCI organization and show that its successful implementation
has provided a means for rapid implementation and governance of a truly statewide alliance.
MUCI began in 200 l as a collaboration between Michigan State University, the University of
Michigan and Wayne State University, to enhance technology transfer activities by working
closely w ith venture capital and industry representatives. By creating this joint platform, each
group was able to learn more about needs and concerns of the other members. The MUCJ
Challenge Fund was established as a competitive, peer-reviewed award program that provides
essential gap funding for early-stage technologies with potential for commercial ization. An
Incubator Liaison helped member institutions procure incubation space and facilities, which
were not readily available prior to the SmartZone system's development. MUCI also
disseminated technology transfer educational materials and shared best practices through
newsletters, a website, publications, and joint meetings.
Since those early years, MUCI membership has grown to include ten Michigan research
institutions. The early focus on Life Sciences has expanded to include Advanced Automotive
&amp; Engineering, Alternative Energy and Homeland Security, through a new $4,750,000 grant
from the 21 st Century Jobs Fund. To date, the Challenge Fund has distributed $3,75 1,288 in
awards lo ht:lp commen;ializt:: lt::chnologies. Many supporlt::u technologies have been licensc:J
to existing companies or have become the nucleii of new start-up companies.
Current member institutions include:
Central Michigan University
Eastern Michigan University
Grand Valley State University
Michigan State University*
Michigan Technological University
Oakland University
University of Michigan*
Van Andel Research Institute
Wayne State University*

�Appendix Ill:
Definitions
Business Plan Development: a platfonn for organizing ideas and actions, and analyzing
essential elements for developing a business: description of product/service and
intellectual property protection; market analysis, customers and competition;
management structure; finances. A business plan also functions as a way of
communicating with potential investors.
Feasibility Studies (for production scale-up): addresses questions of costs, times, other
resources needed to build beyond prototype or small-scale production of a product for
testing purposes.
IP Enhancement I Freedom to Practice: beyond the initial filing of patents, IP strengths and
weaknesses should be assessed, including any need to license complementary or riskmitigating IP rights in order to strengthen the position of the proposed technology.
Market Research: systematic gathering and analyzing of date about the potential customers
and competitors, and the market size and possible target markets or niches, for the
proposed technology.
Commercial Assessment: analysis of the technology to detennine its competitive advantage in
wmparison to ~xis ting solutions Lo Lh~ larg~t~J probl~m.
Proof of Concept: the demonstration that a product or technology is a viable solution to some
problem or need.
Prototype Development: conversion of a concept into a working model used to demonstrate
the product/technology and to elicit feedback for further refinements.
Leveraged Funds: income attracted from other sources as a result of an initial grant or
investment. Work done with early gap funding, for instance, may lead to larger
awards from state and federal sources, and/or from angel or venture capital investors.
Payback Scheme: Financially successful projects (e.g., those that have attained licensing
contracts) will assist in maintaining the Gap Fund by contributing up to three (3) times
the grant amount from revenues generated. These reimbursements to the Gap Fund
will be paid by the recipient institution(s) out of net royalty income, at a rate of20%
of the annual royalty per year until payment reaches 3 times the grant amount.

�Appendix IV:
Anticipating Organizational Challenges
As this collaborative project evolves, it must avoid pitfalls that are common to such ambitious
efforts. We are mindful of past and even current ventures that have failed to materialize and
achieve meaningful success for the State.
Some of the key factors and pitfalls we will be monitoring include:
1. In an effort to address inter-organizational concerns about "control" a new

organization is created that is "outside" the true community of interest for this project.
In this case, the risk is creating a cumbersome entity that would have neither the
nimbleness nor the connection to the core technological and entrepreneurial drive at
the State's major research universities.
Thus, while equity and accountability are valued, to subvert the urgency and focus of
this effort to appease those stakeholders who seek to fill general resource needs or
enhance their perceived reputations could cause the effort to fail or severely underperfonn . Balance and flexibility must be achieved.
2. The tension between fiscal accountability and urgency of action in an entrepreneurial
environment will require attention to ensure that our ability to act and take risks, the
cornerstone of entrepreneurship, is not crushed by excessive reporting requirements,
complicated payback schemes, or a resulting cl imate that promotes fear of failure.
On the other hand, the integrity of the program is found ed on deploying resources
based on sound judgments about which risks are worthwhile. Obviously, this is where
the culture of our public and charitable institutions and the entrepreneurial business
world may clash. Great attention must be paid to the f unctional capability of the
organization proposed.
3. The scale of the project, and the effort to cover a broad institutional and geographic
range, brings with it the need for complete openness and communication. The
potential for "competition and gaming" within such a system must be guarded against
and addressed directly whenever and wherever it is experienced or suspected.
This will require complete transparency and strong and independent leadership,
leadership that is totally committed to the economic development and transformation
goals of the project.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Phillip Peters, Audit Committee Chair

RE:

CMF 3-31-07 Core Operations and Endowment Funds Internal Financial
Statements

Resolved that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the March 31 , 2007 CMF Core
Operations and Endowment Funds Internal Financial Statements as recommended
by the CMF Audit Committee.

On May 7, 2007, the MAF Audit Committee met and reviewed the attached internal
statements.
Differences between internal Statements and Audited Statements

Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from Kellogg for its additional dues
contribution and Skillman for the Detroit office support, it should be noted there will be a
difference between the internal and audited statements for CMF Core Operations until
both of these grants end. Since the goal for Core Operations is to run on a break even
basis the revenue for the two grants noted above is being booked internally in the year to
which it applies, even though for audit purposes the entire grant amount was booked
when awarded.
Grant

Kellogg Additional Member Contribution ($750,000
for 2005-06 to 2009-2010)
Skillman Detroit Office Support ($75,000 2006-07 to
2008-09)

Additional Revenue Booked
Per Internal Statements
$150,000

25,000

For audit report purposes the total amount of both grants were booked as revenue in
2005-06.

S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2007-08\05.22.07 Meeting Materials\lntemal Financials.doc

�terns to Not£1
CMF Core Operations ended the year with a surplus of $ 110,761 , which is due to the
following line items:

Line Item
Additional Surplus on Annual Conference
Investment Income
Wages
Technology
Professional Services

Over (Under)
Budget
34,000
$82,000
(24,000)
(42,000)
73,000

Core Operations:
Note 1: Member Contributions
The variance from budget is primarily due to the payment of dues that were outstanding
from 2005-06 (Jewish Funds paid $16,200).
Note 2: Other Grants
The $25,000 is year one of Skillman's 3-year commitment to support the Detroit office.
Note 3: Conference Income
The Annual Conference from October 2006 generated a surplus of $136,000 vs. a budget
of $ 102,000.
$10,000 of the Essential Skills registration fees has been deferred until 07-08 to cover the
2nd and 3'd sessions ofthis series.
Note 4: Publication Income
Included in the total budget amount of $93,000 is $27,600 for Directories that will be
given to the Michigan Congressional delegation in Washington, DC and Lansing which
were charged in March 2007 to the Riecker and Mawby Endowment Funds.

S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2007-08\05.22.07 Meeting Materials\lntemal Financials.doc

�Note 5: Investment Earnings
The variance from budget is primarily due to the following special projects dollars
remaining at 3-31-06, plus the Kellogg ECIC grant which was new in 2006-07.
Joyce Early Childhood
Tobacco Settlement
IDA Funding
3 Year Technology Funders

$334,000
160,000
593,000
218,000

Note 6: Wages
The favorable variance is due to staff time spent on special projects.

Note 7: Equipment Maintenance
The variance from budget is due to the copier maintenance contract being lowered from
$2,800 to $400 per quarter due to the reduction in the number of copies being produced.
This is due primarily to the increased use of the internet to communicate to our members.

Note 8: Technology
The projected variance from budget is primarily due to the following items:
Replace PCs - Used technology grant dollars
Support for SE Michigan Office less than anticipated
Enhancement to website- holding off until 07-08
Web hosting and Forum support- used technology grant dollars

enclosed audit report, which includes an unqualified opinion. During this meeting
Rehmann Robson noted there were no Management Letter items to report.
Below are a few highlights of variances from the prior year numbers.

for the LTG Endowment Fund that was invested in stocks and bonds in 2006-07 (May
2006).

Investments
$3,000,000 ofthe increase from the prior year is due to the investment of the LTG
Endowment Fund noted above. The remaining increase is due to market gains on the
investments in 2006-07.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance &amp; Administration

Re:

March 31, 2007, Investment Report

The following Resolution is presented for consideration:

RESOLVED that the March 31, 2007, Investment Report and revised Investment
Policy Statement be accepted, as r ecommended by the CMF Investment Committee.
And
RESOLVED further, that CMF Trustee Rachel Mraz be appointed to the
Investment Committee for a three-year term starting Aprill, 2007.

On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV), Learning to
Give (LTG) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment
performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds.

New Business
On May 10, 2007, the Investment Committee met to review and approve the enclosed
reports. During this meeting the committee discussed or approved the following items:
•
•

•

•

Revised the Investment Policy Statement to allow for investment in alternative
asset categories (see attached),
Confirmed the allocation of 25% of the investment pool into the TIFF Multi-Asset
Fund, which includes alternative investment categories, pending approval of the
revised Investment Policy Statement by the CMF Board,
Scheduled a meeting to review the Commonfund Capital Partner's IV fund which
closes on June 5, 2007 and includes U.S. &amp; International Private Equity, Global
Venture Capital and Natural Resources, and
Agreed to explore investment consulting service providers.

The enclosed Investment Report is presented in two sections.

Investment Performance Comparison Report
In addition to the Cambridge &amp; Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and
foundations, the committee has recently added the TIFF Multi-Asset fund for
comparative purposes. The TIFF product is unique in the fact that it offers smaller
foundations access to alternative investment products which have enhanced returns over
the last several years.
The reason this report lags the CMF Investment R eport by one quarter is due to the time

it takes Cambridge to collect the results from the pool participants.

�I.

DEFINITIONS

PURPOSE
This Investment Policy Statement was adopted by the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) to
establish a clear understanding of CMF's philosophy and investment objectives.
As the parent corporation of three supporting organizations, this policy also covers Learning to Give,
Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures and the Michigan AIDS Fund.
The purpose ofCMF's endowment funds is to accumulate a pool of assets sufficient to support the
purpose of each permanent endowment fund. While shorter-term investment results will be
monitored, adherence to a sound long-tenn investment policy, which balances short-term spending
needs with preservation ofthe real (inflation-adjusted) value of assets, is crucial to the long-term
success ofCMF's endowment funds.
Throughout this policy, the reference to CMF will also include the supporting organizations of
Learning to Give (LTG), the Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the Michigan
AIDS Fund (MAF).
SCOPE
This Policy applies to all assets that are included in CMF's investment portfolio for which the
Investment Committee has been given discretionary investment authority.
FIDUCIARY DUTY
In seeking to attain the investment objectives set forth in the policy, the Investment Committee and its
members shall exercise prudence and appropriate care in accordance with the Prudent Investor Rule.
All investment actions and decisions must be based solely in the interest of CMF. Fiduciaries must
provide full and fair disclosure to the Investment Committee of all material facts regarding any
potential conflicts of interest.
DEFINITION OF DUTIES
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees has the ultimate fiduciary responsibility for the Foundation's investment
portfolio. The Board must ensure that appropriate policies governing the management of the
Foundation are in place and that these policies are being effectively implemented. To implement
these responsibilities, the Board sets and approves the Investment Policy Statement and delegates
responsibility to the Investment Committee for implementation and ongoing monitoring.

�Investment Committee
The Investment Committee is responsible for implementing the Investment Policy. This responsibility
includes approving investment strategy, hiring and firing of investment managers, custodians and
investment consultants, monitoring perfonnance of the investment portfolio on a regular basis (at least
quarterly), and maintaining sufficient knowledge about the portfolio and its managers so as to be
reasonably assured of their compliance with the Investment Policy Statement.
Committee Structure &amp; Tenns
•
•
•
•
•

Investment Committee members shall have sufficient investment knowledge to meet their
responsibilities as outlined in the paragraph above.
Committee members shall be appointed by the CMF Board of Trustees.
At least one member shall be a CMF trustee.
Committee members shall be appointed for a three-year tem1.
Committee members may not be an employee (that may cause a perceived conflict of interest
with any finn or individual that provides investment management or investment consulting
services to CMF or its supporting organizations. If a member is an advisor or board memben
of an investment finn that CMF deals with the member shall abstain from voting on issues
related to that finn.

Chief Financial Otlicer - Vice President of Finance &amp; Administration
The Vice President ofFinance &amp; Administration has daily responsibility for administration of the
Foundation's investment portfolio and will consult with the Investment Committee and Board on all
matters relating to the investment of the Foundation's portfolio. The Vice President of Finance &amp;
Administration will serve as primary contact for the Foundation's investment managers, investment
consultant, and custodian.

II.

OBJECTIVES

The overall long-term investment goal of CMF is to achieve an annualized total retum (net offees and
expenses), through appreciation and income, greater than the rate of inflation (as measured by the
broad, domestic Conswner Price Index) plus 5%, thus protecting the assets against inflation.
The assets are to be managed in a manner that will maximize the benefits intended by the donors.

STRATEGY
The Board and Investment Committee agree that investing in securities with higher return
expectations outweighs their short-tem1 volatility risk. As a result, the majority of assets will be
invested in equity or equity-like securities. Fixed income securities will be used to lower the shorttem1 volatility of the portfolio and to provide income stability, especially during periods of weak or
negative equity markets. Cash is not a strategic asset of the portfolio, but is a residual to the
investment process and used to meet short-tenn liquidity needs.

2

�ASSET ALLOCATION
Deliberate management of the asset mix among classes of investments is both a necessary and
desirable responsibility. In the allocation of assets, diversification of investments among asset classes
that are not similarly affected by economic, political, or social developments is a highly desirable
objective. The Investment Committee's general policy shall be to diversify investments among
ultiplc asset classes so as to provide a balance that will enhance total return, while avoiding undue
risk concentrations in any single asset class or investment category. The diversification does not
necessarily depend upon the number of industries or companies in a portfolio or their particular
location, but rather upon the broad nature of such investments and of the factors that may influence
them.
In making asset allocation judgments, the Investment Committee is not expected to seek to "time"
subtle changes in financial markets, or to make frequent or minor adjustments. Instead, the
Investment Committee is expected to develop and adopt expressed guidelines for broad allocations on
a long-term basis, in light of current and projected investment environments.
o achieve broader diversification for the CMF Endowment portfolio, the Investment Committee ma)1
akc investments often classified as "alternative investments" w hich could include, but arc no~
imitcd to, investments in private equity, real estate, natural resources, commodities, buy out,
p-tczzaninc, venture capital, private equity special situations, liquidation portfolios, hedge
~md/or absolute return, and multi-asset commingled funds, fund of funds, and other investment
categories.

The above asset allocations will be implemented through a portfolio of active and passive managers.

REBALANCING

ccessary adjustments it deems appropriate based on past pcrfonnancc and current and expected
arkct conditions.

�SPENDING POLICY
Income available for spending is detennined by a total return system and will be calculated using a per
unit measure as highlighted below.
The income/unit that may be spent annually, notwithstanding the historical gift amount, shall not
exceed 5% of the average fair market/unit value of the individual endowment fund's assets as

Conference Goals
The conference committee is operating with an explicit set of goals and expectations again this
year. These are directly tied to the Board of Trustee's goals for and CMF's commitment to
increasing its cultural competency and to recognizing, respecting and attracting members from
diverse backgrounds.
Conference Goals Include:
• Design an event that recognizes, honors and welcomes all participants in line with our goals
for cultural competency
• Provide participants with opportunities to reflect, refresh, and network with peers: be
exposed to the latest knowledge and issues facing philanthropy; and Jearn at least one new
skill or resource to help them be more effective.
• Attract 350 full and 250 partial registrations (at minimum!)
• Secure $165,000 in sponsorships and $14,250 in exhibitor fees.
Other Expectations:
• All materials will clearly communicate CMF' s commitment to diversity and inclusion
• Speakers, moderators, events and resources will reflect CMF's diverse membership
Sponsorships
Building on the sponsorship recruitment strategy implemented in 2006, CMF mailed sponsorship
and exhibitor solicitations to 30 former sponsors/exhibitors, 35 corporate members, and 100 new
corporate contacts at the state and national level in Apri l. Follow-up activities are underway.
To date, $40,000 has been received in sponsorships ($15,000 from both The lies G roup at
Merrill Lynch and C omerica Bank; and $10,000 from the MASCO Corporation Foundation. In
addition, we have secured one exhibitor, IPEX, Inc. at $2,500).
Marketing
With the theme of Transforming Michigan - Leading, Innovating, Collaborating finalized and
program development underway, aggressive conference marketing will kick off in mid July with the
registration brochure mailed to 4600 individuals of member and nonmember eligible foundations.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr., is theW. E. B. DuBois Professor of the Humanities and the
Director of theW. E. B. DuBois Institute for African and African American Research at
Harvard University.
Professor Gates is Editor-in-Chief of the Oxford African American Studies Center, the
first comprehensive scholarly online resource in the field of African American Studies
and Africana Studies. He is co-editor with K. Anthony Appiah of the encyclopedia
Encarta Africana published on CD-ROM by Microsoft (1999), and in book form by
Basic Civitas Books under the title Africana: The Encyclopedia ofthe African and
African American Experience ( 1999). His most recent books are America Behind the
Color Line: Dialogues with African Americans (Warner Books, 2004), African American
Lives, co-edited with Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham (Oxford, 2004), and The Annotated
Uncle Tom's Cabin, edited with Hollis Robbins (W. W. N01ton, 2006).
In 2006, Professor Gates wrote and produced the PBS documentary also called "African

American Lives," the first documentary series to employ genealogy and science to
provide an understanding of African American history. He also wrote and produced the
documentaries "Wonders of the African World" (2000) and "America Beyond the Color
Line" (2004) for the BBC and PBS, and authored the companion volumes to both series.
Professor Gates is currently at work on a sequel to "African American Lives."
Professor Gates is the author of several works of literary criticism, including Figures in
Black: Words, Signs and the "Racial" Self(Oxford University Press, 1987); and The
Signifying Monkey: A The01y ofAfro-American Literary Criticism(Oxford, 1988), winner
of the American Book Award in 1989. He authenticated and facilitated the publication, in
2002, of The Bondwoman's Narrative by Hannah Crafts, the only known novel by a
female African American slave and possibly the first novel by an African American
woman. He is the co-author, with Cornel West, of The Future ofthe Race (Knopf, 1996),
and the author of a memoir, Colored People (Knopf, 1994), that traces his childhood
experiences in a small West Virginia town in the 1950s and 1960s.
Professor Gates has edited several influential anthologies, including The Norton
Anthology ofAfrican American Literature (W. W. Norton, 1996); and the Schomburg
Librmy ofNineteenth Century Black Women Writers (Oxford, 1991). In addition,
Professor Gates is editor of Transition magazine, an international review of African,
Caribbean, and African American politics. An influential cultural critic, Professor Gates's
publications include a 1994 cover story for Time magazine, numerous articles for the
New Yorker, and in September 2004, a biweekly guest column in The New York Times.

�Professor Gates earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in English literature from Clare College at the
University of Cambridge, and his B.A. summa cum laude in English language and
literature from Yale University in 1973. Before joining the faculty of Harvard in 1991, he
taught at Yale, Cornell, and Duke. His honors and grants include a MacArthur
Foundation "genius grant" (1981), the George Polk Award for Social Commentary
(1993), Time magazine's "25 Most Influential Americans" list (1997), a National
Humanities Medal (1998), election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1999),
the Jefferson Lecture (2002), and a Visiting Fellowship at the School of Social Science at
the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (2003-2004). He has received 44 honorary
degrees.
Professor Gates served as Chair of the Department of African and African American
Studies at Harvard from 1991 to 2006.

Memo to:

Members of the Board of Trustees

cc:

Rob Collier, President
Barbara Rapaport, Real Time Perspectives

From:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson

Re:

Succession Policy and Organizational Assessment
by Barbara Rapaport

You will recall that the Board of Trustees approved a contract with Barbara Rapaport of
Real-time Perspectives, Inc. to develop a Succession Policy and complete an
Organizational Analysis ofCMF. The Executive Committee met with Barbara and Rob
on February 20 to receive her report.

I. Succession Policy
Because CMF has no policy in writing at this time, the Committee approved presenting
the following Succession Policy to the Board for consideration. This Policy is based on
the recommendations of Barbara and will be reviewed by legal counsel before the B oard
Meeting.

RESOLVED that a Succession Policy for permanently filling the position of
President of the Council of Foundations include the following steps, recognizing that
an absence of the President due to health reasons would be impacted by the short
and long term disability policies of the organization.
Within three working days of the loss of the President - by resignation, dismissal or
death:
•

The Executive Committee of the Board shall meet by conference call, with all
Trustees invited to participate, to select the Vice President Finance and
Administration David Lindberg, as Interim President, and identify two
current or former members of the Board to lead a Search Committee.

•

The Chairperson of the Board will meet with Mr. Lindberg and staff to
inform them of Mr. Lindberg' s appointment and the intent to form a Search
Committee co-chaired by two current or former members of the Board of
Trustees.

•

The Chairperson will contact the candidates identified to lead the Search
Committee and confirm their willingness to serve.

�Succession &amp; Organizational Assessment
Page 2

•

The Chairperson and Mr. Lindberg will then issue a statement to the
membership and public on both his appointment and creation of the Search
Committee.

Within two weeks of the loss of the President:
•

The Interim President shall present for the Executive Committee' s approval
his critical work priorities and personnel issues to assure a seamless
transition with minimum disruption of services in an interim period that
would last a projected six to eight months.

•

The Executive Committee shall meet to approve the revised job description
for the Interim President and meet with the Co-Chairs of the Search
Committee to approve: the membership of the Search Committee, an
updated job description for the position of President and a budget for
retaining a Search firm.

Within one month of the loss of the President:
•

The Search Committee shall convene and seek at least two proposals from
qualified Search firms.

Within two months of the loss of the President:
•

The Search Committee shall interview and retain a Search firm and post the
opening for the permanent position of President.

•

The Search firm shall meet monthly by phone or in person with the Search
Committee and provide written updates to the Chairperson and Board of
Trustees with the goal of providing the Search Committee a recommended
slate of at least three candidates to interview for consideration by the Board
of Trustees with a goal of appointing a new President by the end of month
six. It is recognized that up to two additional months or an appropriate time
may be needed to allow the new President to transition to CMF.

RESOLVED further that should the current President of CMF be incapacitated in
some way and unable to fulfill his responsibilities for a period of up to one year, Mr.
Lindberg, Vice President Finance and Administration, would be appointed as
Interim President by the Chairperson and would work with the Executive
Committee to assure a seamless transition and minimum disruption during the
absence of the President.
II. Organizational Analysis
In addition to the Succession Policy, Barbara was asked to and has completed the

following tasks:
• Provide individual and collective coaching to the management team on
implementation of strategic priorities,

�Succession &amp; Organizational Assessment
Page 3

•
•

Refine the performance review system and provide supervisor training on
performance coaching, and
Review and provide recommendations to the Executive Committee and President
on CMF's organizational structure.

In completing these tasks Barbara has: interviewed each member of the Executive
Committee and the three members of the Management Team, completed Association
Benchmarking for comparison purposes, conducted an Emotional Competency Inventory
Group and Training for the six supervisors, visited the Southeast Michigan office and
conducted a staff scenario planning exercise.
While not presenting one recommendation on the organizational analysis, she has
presented a Leadership Competency Model enclosed as Attachment A for the President
and Board of Trustees, Senior Managers, and All Staff. We look forward to discussing
this Model with the Board as part of our May Board Agenda.
In addition, Barbara has recommended that any organizational changes considered by
Rob include the following internal operating assumptions based on her research:
• An increase in Board/Staff collaboration on strategic planning,
• More internal/external integration by the management team w ith a clear
distinction between internal/administrative and external member focused
activities,
• Centralization of facilities and office management under core services,
• Consideration of outsourcing, such as in regional representatives, and
• Changes in the Performance Management System to reflect the optimum
flexibility provided by matrix management.
Rob will now be working with these recommendations and the Executive Committee on
how increased engagement by the Board of Trustees and maximization of the skills of
existing staff, with possible new staff, can result in strengthened member services by the
following priorities he has identified:
1. Strengthening outreach to family foundations,
2. Focusing services on corporate foundations and giving programs in
Southeast Michigan,
3. Increasing communications and marketing for member recruitment, and
4. More partnering with the 40 plus national affinity groups, such as
Grantmakers in Education.
The Executive Committee has agreed to meet monthly between Board Meetings with Rob
as he works on a plan to implement organizational changes that will contribute to these
priorities. We realize that any changes will need to be incremental and based on both
current revenues and potential revenue generation.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, Dave Lindberg and Vicki Rosenberg

Re:

Redesigned Plan of Work Document

The Council of Michigan Foundations' (CMF) Plan of Work is primarily used to inform
the Board of Trustees about the proposed activities for the upcoming fiscal year.
Secondarily, the Plan of Work is used by management as a planning and monitoring tool.
For FY07, the Plan of Work has been redesigned to more effectively:
•

Provide a complete strategic overview of CMF's work on one-page vs. on
multiple pages as in prior years.

•

Highlight: (a) on-going activities that occur each year; and (b) proposed new
activities for FY07 by presenting them in separate, side-by-side columns vs. in one
column as in prior years.

•

Be an easy reference tool during the year.

W e hope the tighter focus and one-page format serves the Board's purposes and look
forward to any comments.

Government Relations
Committee Co-Chair Libby Maynard presented the Committee's recommendations for changes to the
Legislative Goals Statement. She noted that 19 members participated in the annual review which
includes the addition of National Goal 11 on page 6- the Charitable IRA Provision to our list of
National Accomplishments.
Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the attached Legislative Goals Statement as reviewed by the Government
Relations Committee be adopted.
Julie Fisher Cummings updated the Board on the history of the two pieces of donor intent legislation in
Lansing, the fi rst introduced by Rep. Dillon and the second by Rep. Huizenga. The two sponsors have
indicated that neither of the bills will be considered and will die when the House adjourns at the end of
2006. Ms. Cummings and Ms. Maynard both stressed the importance of our visibility at Foundations on
the Hill as well as in Lansing.

Cultural Competency Initiative
Ms. Rosenberg presented highlights of the staff, Board and member work since the May Board Meeting
including: the completed guidelines for audits of human resource policies and position descriptions,
training plan for supervisors, and the work of two task teams. She introduced with comments by Trustee
Elizabeth Cherin, Ms. Barbara Rapaport of Realtime Perspectives, Inc., consultant to CMF on the
Cultural Competency Initiative, who acknowledged the work done with staff on systems and policies.
Ms. Rosenberg introduced two resolutions recommended by staff, the first being revisions to the Board
adopted value statement on diversity adopted in 2002.
Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the CMF Board and staff strive to model and promote inclusion as a means
to serve and strengthen the work of a diverse membership by working to:
• Create an inclusive environment in which individuals/grantmakers from different national
origins, ethnicities, races, cultures, generations, religions, economic backgrounds and
sexual orientations, and with different skills, abilities, lifestyles and beliefs are respected,
valued and encouraged to participate.
• Be governed by a diverse Board of Trustees, and to attract and retain diverse staff
members.
• Understand, represent and share the range of philanthropic perspectives held and
traditions followed by our members, and
Encourage members to join with us in developing their own commitment to inclusion for the
future of philanthropy in Michigan by signing CMF' s Guiding Principals.
RESOLVED further that the Strategic Plan on Cultural Competency - a copy of which is
attached- be adopted and integrated into the 2006 Plan of Work for CMF with the goals,
strategies and appropriate tactics incorporated into the 2007 Plan of Work and subsequent
annual plans of work.

34 h Annual Conference
Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President &amp; COO, reported that over 730 individuals were registered for the
Conference including our first national exhibitors. She indicated that the Board will receive a summary
of participants evaluations at its spring meeting as planning commences for the 2007 Annual Conference
in Dearborn.
Public Policy
Committee Co-Chair David Egner presented the decision for CMF to not take a position on the state
ballot issues. Chair Egner reported on the first meeting of the new affinity group, Funders on Michigan 's
Economy, to look at regional and state strategies. Jenee Velasquez, executive director, Herbert H. and
Grace A. Dow Foundation, has agreed to chair the Committee.
Rachel Dunne, Public Policy Fellow reported on the thirteen Public Policy sessions at the Annual
Conference.

President's Report
Rob Collier highlighted four key points in his Report. He recognized Susan Lindson of the Michigan
IDA Partnership, and the report ending September 30, 2006 indicating that 909 participants have
completed asset purchases with 625 new homeowners leveraging more than $55 million in new
mortgages. While CMF's management of this national model has ended, the role ofiDAs will continue
with public private support and Susan will continue to assist the Regional Coordinating Organizations
from her new base at the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency. He noted Vicki Rosenberg's
leadership in development of the Essential Skills &amp; New Strategies educational programming that was
tested at the Annual Conference and will be offered by CMF in the spring. He also noted that Vicki has
pulled together a new Communications Marketing Advisory Council for CMF. He thanks Rachel for
coordinating four Public Policy Briefings this summer. Finally, he thanked the six new funders of the
Office of The Foundation Liaison and the six that have renewed their support for this vital office.
Adjournment
Chair Sieger noted the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees will take place
Thursday, March 15, 2007 at the University Club in Lansing. She thanked Julie Fisher Cummings for
her leadership over the past year. There being no further business to come before the Board, Chair
Sieger adjourned the meeting at 4:20 p.m.

Diana R. Sieger, Chair

Robert S. Collier, President

February- TCFN (Transatlantic Community Foundation Network) Academy- Palo Alto
In February, Donnell Mersereau, Director, Community Foundations and Executive Director,
MCFV, attended her second TCFN Academy held in collaboration with the Stanford Graduate
School of Business. The topic of the 2007 Academy was "The roles of community foundations in
the 21 st century". The topic continued last year's theme of the future of community foundations
in a transatlantic perspective with 17 community foundation executives, representatives of
support organizations and academic scholars from nine different countries participating.
The Academy was opened by a Helmut Anheier, Director of the Center of Civil Society at the
UCLA, and Diana Leat, Research &amp; Development Director - Progressive Philanthropy at
Carnegie UK, with a presentation on "Towards the Creative Community Foundation". Both
scholars presented their concept of "creative philanthropy" and discussed its meaning for
community foundations.
The concept of "creative philanthropy" focuses on the unique capacity of foundations to identify
solutions to problems, to initiate and carry through innovation processes, and to help disseminate
and implement sustainable results. Key questions addressed were:
•
•

•

To what extent do or could community foundations display the characteristics of creative
foundations?
Are they inherently creative, or do they have to become, or being turned into, creative
foundations
through specific leadership patterns as well as management decis ions and practices?
Are there structural features of community foundations that encourage creativity?

Participants discussed findings and assumptions of the creative philanthropy approach with a
particular emphasis on the questions what characteristics of a "creative foundation" were of
relevance for community foundations. The discussion also focused on the larger opportunities
and visions for community foundations within the overall philanthropic sector.
The discussion on community foundations and "creative philanthropy" was followed by a
brainstonning session for a major new book project which is envisioned as an international
version of "An Agile Servant" published in 1989. Academy participants focused their efforts in
particular on identifying core content and developing a comprehensive outline for this new
publication.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, President

cc:

Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Co-Chairs, Government Relations
Committee
Dave Egner, Co-Chair Public Policy Committee

Re:

Government Relations Report- Foundations on the Hill Visit 2007

The purpose of this memo is to: report on the February 27 &amp; 28 Foundations on the Hill
Visit; request consideration of support for two Washington policy issues- neither of
which are on CMF's current Legislative Goals Statement or Public Policy Agenda;
provide an update on one Michigan Legislative Goal and request support for
reinstatement of the inheritance tax as a Michigan Legislative Goal.
I. Foundations on the Hill Visit
The largest delegation of Michigan foundation representatives ever - 46 -joined by three
CMF staff and Foundation Liaison Karen Aldridge-Eason, participated in the annual

Foundations on the Hill visit to our Michigan Congressional Delegation. A participant list
is included as ATTACHMENT A. We were pleased to have 14 face to face meetings
with members and three with staff. Several members, such as Representatives Upton and
Knollen berg, stepped out of Committee Meetings to visit with us.
We started our Washington visit with a special luncheon hosted by Peter and Julie
Cummings at the Library of Congress. The curator of the maps and geography division
brought several special maps of Michigan to share, and the curator for architecture led a
special tour. We were then treated to a special visit from the Librarian ofthe Library of
Congress, Jim Billington. We easily could have spent the whole afternoon listening to
him talk about their efforts to digitize parts of the collection for the Internet and
managing 2.5 million new acquisitions a year. Our thanks to Julie and Peter for this
special treat!
We had three special guests for our dinner on Tuesday evening: Michigan's newest
member of Congress Tim Walberg from the ih District (representing Battle Creek and
Jackson); Diana Aviv, president of Independent Sector; and Rodney Emery, Vice
President of Government Relations for the Council on Foundations.
Wednesday morning we cheered Congressman Dave Camp as he received the Friend of
Philanthropy Award from the Council on Foundations and Forum of Regional
Associations of Grantmakers after speaking to the more than 390 grantmakers from 40

�Government Relations Report
March 2007
Page 2

states gathered for this annual event. The award was presented by our Chairperson Diana
Sieger and Brian Rodgers, chair of the Midland Area Community Foundation.
Our Wednesday morning visits were enhanced with a journalist from Tax Analyst, placed
with us for four visits and two Diversity Fellows from the Associated Grantmakers of
Massachusetts (AGM) matched with two of our members for visits. Information on Tax
Analyst is included as ATTACHMENT B.
While we are still collecting feedback from participants, the following three summary
learnings are offered:
•

There is support for extension of the IRA Charitable Provision. Congressional
Members were pleased to receive the preliminary list of recipients we have
collected, included as ATTACHMENT C. As a next step we need to provide them
with several examples of how this gifting opportunity really works.

•

There seems to be greater interest than before "on both sides of the aisle" in
correcting the inequity/unfairness in the excise tax on private foundations. With
helpful illustrations from CMF Trustees Dave Egner and Sterling Speirn, several
Congressional Members expressed their concern about the chilling impact this tax
has on the need for more giving at critical times, such as responding to Hurricane
Katrina. As a next step, we need to work with the Council on Foundations in
detem1ining how the tax could be simplified at a revenue neutral level.

•

While Representatives Levin and Camp have both sent letters to the Treasury at
our request urging clarification of the new regulations on Donor Advised Funds
and Supporting Organizations in the Pension Bill, support for a technical
improvements bill to the Charitable Reform Provisions in the Pension Bill is too
early to gauge until the Council on Foundations is able to provide draft language
for such a bill.

I look forward to having participating Trustees share their learnings from the visits as
well. Several members have offered useful suggestions on how we can improve the
Visits next year:
•
•

•

Reduce the number of talking points from six to three;
Provide participants with a score card on how our Congressional Members have
voted on these issues in the past and whether they are sponsors of proposed
legislation; and
Further simplify the issue papers so they are less "legalese."

In sum, it was a productive Hill visit for all and the feedback we have received from both
our members and Congressional Members has been most positive.

II. Washington Policy Issues- Extension of the Conservation Easement Provision in
the Pension Bill and Federal Support for 2-1-1
Let me first state that there has not been time to vet these two issues with the Government
Relations Committee, Public Policy Committee or Land Use Funders Group. However,
CMF has been asked by a number of members- both private and community foundations
supporting each issue and the local land conservancies and United Ways that are serving
as the implementing agencies - to support legislation on these issues as summarized
below.
The following proposed Resolution combines the issues, however they can be considered
individually if the Board would like. On the first issue, we learned from Representative
Camp that he will be the lead co-sponsor with Representative Thompson on the House
Bill to accompany the Senate Bill already introduced by Senators Baucus and Grassley.
This co-sponsorship by Grassley is a dramatic turn around on an issue he opposed a year
ago.
The Michigan Association of United Ways has developed a Business Plan for complete
state 2-1-1 coverage that would cost $5 million annually and have a projected one million
users a year. CMF has been asked by members to co-sponsor a briefmg on April 23 for
our members in the areas of the State currently not served by 2-1-1 (as indicated in the
map, ATTACHMENT D.)

RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations support the Rural Heritage
Conservation Act, S. 469 that will support the goals of sustainable land use and
conservation promoted by the Land Use Funders Group and other members, and
RESOLVED further that the Council of Michigan Foundations support 2-1-1 as an
important resource for Michigan residents and therefore supportS. 211 and H.211 the Calling for 2-1-1 Act.
Background on Conservation Easements:
In January, Senate Finance Committee Chair Max Baucus (D-MT) introduced the Rural

Heritage Conservation Extension Act of2007 to make the conservation easement
permanent. Finance Committee Ranking Member Charles Grassley (R-IA) cosponsored
the bill. The Bush Administration announced that the incentive in the Baucus-Grassley
bill is included in their FY 2008 Budget proposal as a featured part of the work of the
President's Cooperative Conservation Task Force.
In the Pension Protection Act of2006, Congress changed the tax incentive for voluntary
conservation donations - donations by private landowners that retire development rights
to protect significant w ildlife, scenic and historic resources. That change enables family
farmers, ranchers and other moderate-income landowners to get a significant tax benefit
for such donations. Most of these donations are made to local, community-based
charities dedicated to keeping land in agriculture, conserving important w ildlife habitats
and protecting important open space and historic resources.

�Government Relations Report
March 2007
Page 4

The 2006 law:
• Raised the maximum deduction a donor can take for donating a conservation
easement from 30% of their adjusted gross income (AGI) in any year to 50%;
• Allowed qualified farmers and ranchers to deduct up to I 00% of their AGI; and
• Increased the number of years over which a donor can take deductions from 6
years to 16 years.
Under prior law, an agricultural landowner earning $50,000 a year who donated a
conservation easement worth $1 million could take a total of no more than $90,000 in tax
deductions. Under the new law, that landowner can take as much as $800,000 in tax
deductions - still less than the full value of their donation but a significant increase.
The 2006 law also set higher standards for appraisers and appraisals of all donated
property and set higher penalties for abusive appraisals. Conservationists support this to
ensure the integrity of the charitable donation process. The law also tightened restrictions
on donations of easements to protect historic buildings. These reforms do not expire at
the end of this year.
Background on 2-1-1:
The Calling for 2-1-1 Act was introduced in January 2007 to provide federal financial
support to designated state 2-1-1 entities. The bills (H.211 and S.211) have bipartisan
support in both houses, with 91 House cosponsors and 31 in the Senate. The Callingfor
2-1-1 Act seeks to authorize federal funding of $150 million for years one and two and
$100 million for years three through five through the US Department of Health &amp; Human
Services to help implement and sustain 2-1-1 nationwide. States would be required to
provide a 50% match in order to draw down the federal dollars. The federal funding can
be used for a variety of 2-1-1 related purposes, including but not limited to planning for
and implementing 2-1-1 , operating costs, technology upgrades, public awareness, training
and evaluation.
States' 2-1-1 systems are public-private partnerships, locally designed by community
stakeholders to save time and reduce confusion for citizens seeking access to human
services. As of January 2007, approximately 65% of the US population had access to
2-1-1 services; 2-1-1 provides an enhanced experience for those seeking assistance and
substantial cost savings. Estimated benefits total at least $1 .1 billion over ten years, with
almost $ 130 million in the first year alone, according to a University of Texas study. Call
centers helped reduce the burden on 9-1-1 operators in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita, assisting in non-emergency situations with information and referral services.
In Michigan, 2-1-1 is currently available to 70% of Michigan's citizens - it streamlines

access to needed health and human services. Call centers are staffed by trained
specialists who quickly assess callers' needs and refer them to the help they need. It is
simple to remember, accessible to everyone at no cost and available 2417 with
multilingual capabilities.

III. Michigan Legislative Goals
SBT Tax Credit for Gift to Endowment Funds Held by Community Foundations
Goal 5 of the State Section of the Legislative Goals Statement is: To monitor
administration of the permanent community foundation tax credits for individuals,
families and businesses and their relationship to current and proposed tax credits.
With the decision by the Legislature to eliminate the Single Business Tax (SBT) at the
end of2007, the community foundation tax credit in the SBT ($5,000 or 10% of the SBT
liability, whichever is less) will be eliminated as well. In meetings with the Speaker of
the House and Legislative Leadership, I have been assured that it is their intent to transfer
the charitable credits along with other economic development credits to the new tax that
will replace the SBT. There is great interest in maintaining these credits as a way of
incentivizing corporate giving. At a meeting in January with the Otsego County
Community Foundation in Gaylord, the executive director announced to me that the
Foundation had just received a donation from a small company using the SBT tax credit
to create a scholarship fund with the $5,000 credit leveraging a $1 5,000 gift.

Michigan Inheritance Tax
The following resolution is recommended for consideration. If approved, this Resolution
will become a new Goal in the Legislative Goals Statement.

RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations oppose reintroduction of a
Michigan Inheritance Tax, which will encourage Michigan residents to move their
primary residence out of state, and encourage reintroduction of the pick up tax as
part of the federal estate tax that would place Michigan on an equal level as other
states.
Background
Repeal of the State Inheritance Tax has been listed as an accomplishment in CMF' s
Legislative Statement since 1993. However, the Governor has proposed that Michigan
decouple from the Federal Estate Tax which would allow Michigan to reinstitute an
Inheritance Tax. HB 4377 (ATTACHMENT E), the Michigan Estate Tax Act, has been
introduced to address this issue. I have met with Representative Bieda, Chair of the
House Committee on Tax Policy and the sponsor, Representative Condino who have
agreed to delay a Committee Hearing on this Bill until they can receive more information
on the feasibility of reintroduction of the federal pickup tax. Speaker Dillon also
acknowledged that he is troubled by the idea of driving wealthy Michigan residents out of
state and has requested further information on the impact of this proposed inheritance tax.
I have been in touch with the Tax Policy Center for assistance on this matter.
A pickup tax provides revenue to the state but does not increase the federal estate tax
payment the heirs must make. Instead the estate's federal estate tax liability is reduced by

�Government Relations Report
March 2007
Page 6

the amount of the state tax payment. This credit dates back to the early 1900's when
Congress introduced a federal estate tax guaranteeing states a portion of the estate tax
base. Thirty-five states, including Michigan, in 2000 had an estate tax that equaled the
amount of the state credit. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington
reports that Michigan received revenue in 2000 of $187 million from this tax, all of
which has now been lost with the changes in the federal estate tax.

IRA Charitable Provision is Increasing Michigan Giving
Forty-one respondents to a quick survey confirm that the IRA Charitable Provision is having
an impact on growing giving in Michigan. Since the August passage of the Pension
Protection Act of 2006, survey respondents report gifts in excess of $1.4 million to
nonprofit organizations and community foundations (see list of recipient organizations
below). The donors' philanthropic interests - medical research, community development,
arts and culture and education - are broad and beneficial for Michigan's citizens. And, this
list continues to grow - we hear stOries of new gifts from IRAs every week!
This increase in giving in lVIichigan is confirmed nationally by the National Committee on
Planned Giving that over $25 million in gifts made by IRAs nationally - ranging from $100
to the maximum $100,000 allowed by law. Charitable giving will continue to increase in
Nlichigan if Congress extends the IRA Charitable Provision beyond 2007, lifts the $100,000
cap and allows gifts to donor-advised funds of community foundations and private
foundations to qualify.

Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving.

Diana Sieger, Chair and Members ofthe Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier &amp; Jenee Velasquez, Chair, Funders Concerned about Michigan's
Economy

Re:

Funders Concerned about Michigan's Economy

The Funders Group Concerned about Michigan's Economy met on February 16 at the
University of Michigan to receive a briefing from Steve Forrest, Vice President for
Research for the university. A copy of his PowerPoint presentation that has since been
updated for his meeting with the Mott Foundation Board of Trustees is attached.
We were very encouraged by Professor Forrest's passion and comm itment on behalf of
President Coleman on the university's role in helping transform Michigan's economy.
It is clear that the university recognizes its public responsibility and need for a new
collaborative approach with the other universities in the state as well as other partners in
tackling three key needs: capitol, talent and leadership.
We have asked Prof. Forrest and his team to provide additional information on his
Michigan Universities Commercialization Initiative (MUCI). We are excited to have the
assistance of Andy Hastings whose resume is in the back pocket of your book, in helping
our group explore models that other states are using to deal with economic
transformation. An MBA student at the Ross School of Business, Andy has selected
CMF as a volunteer assignment through the University of Michigan's Nonprofit Board
Fellowship Program.

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the December 31, 2006
Internal Financial Statements as recommended by the CMF Audit Committee.

terns to Note
As of3-31-06 the CMF general operating fund balance is $ 1,195,000.
Based on the attached projection the CMF Core surplus for 2006-07 should be $104,000.

CMF Core Operations
Note 1: Member Contributions
Based on payments as of 2-6-07 and assuming the following outstanding dues are paid by
3-31-07, membership should end the year at $965,000.
Included in this projection are the following major dues amounts.
St. Denys Foundation
Earhart Foundation
Dow Chemical Company
Dow Coming Foundation
LaSalle Bank

$ 1,700
6,300
4,700
3,000
1,400

Note 2: Additional Contributions
W.K. Kellogg Foundation
C.S. Mott Foundation
Others
Total

$ 150,000
25,000
9,460
$ 184,460

Note 3: Other Grants
The $25,000 is year one of Skillman's 3 year commitment to support the Detroit office.

�Treasurer's Report
Page 2

Note 4: Conference Income
The October 2006 Annual Conference has generated a surplus of $139,000 vs. a budget
of$102,000.

Note 5: Publication Income
Included in the total budget amount of $93,000 is $27,600 in Directories that will be
given to members of Michigan's Congressional Delegation in Washington DC and the
Michigan Legislature. Those Directories will be charged to the William Allen Fund and
Russell G. Mawby Fund.

Note 6: Investment Earnings
The YTD variance from budget is primarily due to the following special projects dollars
remaining at 3-31-06, plus the Kellogg ECIC grant that was received in 2006.
Joyce Early Childhood
Tobacco Settlement
IDA Funding
3 Year Technology Funders

$334,000
160,000
593,000
218,000

Note 7: Wages
The favorable YTD variance is primarily due to Core staff time that was spent on the
following special projects:
MSHDA
Land Use Funders
Access to Recreation support
ECIC Support
Joyce Foundation Early Learning support
Overtime &amp; Mise less than budget

6,900
2,000
4,200
6,700
12,200
8,900

Note 8: Equipment Maintenance
The variance from budget is the result of the copier maintenance contract being lowered
from $2,800 to $400 per quarter due the number of copies being run on the machine.
This is primarily due to the increased use of the internet for communications purposes.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance &amp; Administration

Re:

December 31, 2006 Investment Report

The following Resolution is presented for consideration:

R ESOLVED that the December 31, 2006, Investment Report be accepted, as
recommended by the CMF Investment Committee.
On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV), Learning to
Give (LTG) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meets to review the investment
performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds.

New Business
On March I, 2007, the CMF Investment Committee met to review and approve the
enclosed reports.
To follow up on the report from the October 17, 2006, Board meeting the Investment
Committee is recommending that 25% of the CMF &amp; LTG Endowment funds be invested
in the TIFF Multi-Asset Fund to allow access to alternative asset categories. The TIFF
Multi-Asset Fund is broken down as follows.
Asset Class
US Equities
International Equities
Fixed Income
Real Estate
High Y ield Bonds
Absolute Return
Commodities
Resource-Related Stocks
Cash

�Investment Report

To allow access to the alternative categories noted above, the Investment Committee is in
the process of revising the Investment Policy statement which will be presented to the
CMF Board for final approval at the May 2007 Board meeting. Because the TIFF
product is a multi-asset/commingled fund that is meant for smaller foundations who want
to invest their entire portfolio without having to worry about asset allocation issues, the
Investment Committee is working on the follow ing changes to the investment policy:
•
•
•
•

•

The asset allocation policy will be split into a general pool (following the current
asset allocation) and an alternative pool for multi-asset/commingled products.
The initial investment in the alternative pool will be 25% of the current CMF &amp;
LTG Endowment portfolios.
The general pool will continue to be rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
Since the multi-asset/commingled products are rebalanced by the individual
managers, the Investment Committee will monitor those asset allocations in light
of current and anticipated market conditions.
The committee will monitor the total asset allocation between the general and
alternative pools and rebalance as appropriate; keeping in mind that many of the
multi-asset/commingled products involve exit fees that will factor into the
rebalancing decision.

The enclosed Investment Report is presented in three sections.

Investment Performance Report
The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula listed below, using the
Lipper median returns provided by Comerica on a quarterly basis.

Asset Allocation Report
The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that
instructs CMF's Vice President of Finance &amp; Administration to rebalance the endowment
fund portfolio on a quarterly basis.

Investment Performance Comparison Report
In addition to the Lipper returns and the Cambridge &amp; Associates, Inc. pool of colleges,
universities, and foundations, the committee has recently added the TIFF Multi-Asset
fund for comparative purposes. The TIFF product is unique in the fact that it offers
smaller foundations access to alternative investment products which have enhanced
returns over the last several years.
The reason this report lags the CMF Investment Report by one quarter is due to the time
it takes Cambridge to collect the results from the pool participants.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier

RE:

Establishment of CMF Core Services Endowment Fund

Resolved, that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the establishment of a Core
Services Endowment Fund using $600,000 of the approximately $1,200,000 Core
Services surplus cash balance as recommended by the CMF Audit &amp; Executive
Committees. The purpose of this endowment fund will be to support Core Member
Services.
Background
At December 2006 Audit Committee meeting we discussed the idea of establishing an
endowment fund to support the ongoing Core Member Services using a portion of the
current $1,200,000 surplus cash balance. Management is recommending that $600,000
of the current surplus be used to establish this endowment fund, leaving $600,000 as a
cushion to cover fluctuations in our cash flow.

Currently the cash surplus is invested in a Money Market account earning approximately
5% annually. By endowing a portion of these surplus dollars the spendable income
should grow at a faster pace than current earnings on these funds. See attached
worksheet.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chair and Members ofthe Board of Trustees

From:

Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President &amp; Chief Operating Officer

Re:

351h Annual Conference
October 21-23, 2007, Dearborn

Planning has begun for the 351h Annual Conference with leadership from CMF trustees, Melonie
Colaianne, Allan Gilmour and Gerald Smith who have agreed to serve as co-chairs. We look
forward to sharing both the Conference theme and our first plenary speaker.
CMF's goals for the conference are to:
o Provide participants with opportunities to refl ect, refresh, and network with peers; be
exposed to the latest knowledge and issues facing philanthropy; and learn at least one new
skill or resource to help them be more effective.
o Design an event that recognizes, honors and welcomes all participants in line with our goals
for cultural competency
o Attract 350 full and 250 paid registrations
o Secure $165,000 in sponsorships and $14,250 in exhibitor fees.

Planning Process
An outstanding group of members has agreed to serve on this year's Conference Committee (see
roster attached). The Committee will meet in person twice this spring: March 16 in Lansing to
receive an orientation to the conference, the planning process and to identify priority session
topics; and May 3 at the Hyatt Dearborn to approve proposed sessions and tour the faci lity.

Marketing
Conference marketing began at the 341h Annual Conference in Kalamazoo with participant
notepads and pens with the 2007 conference dates and location. The conference dates are now
included on: the Event Calendar on www.cmif.org, in E-N ews and in Memo to Members.
In February 2007, an eye-catching save-the-date card was mailed to 4,500 foundation staff and

trustees. Please see the back pocket of your notebook for a copy of the postcard. Conference
marketing will continue through all CMF communications vehicles culminating in our major
push, distribution of the registration brochure and launch of the registration area of
www.cmif.org in early July.
Conference planning and implementation is being handled by a team with roles are as follows:
• Kathy Ginocchio - logistics
• Dave Lindberg- sponsorship and exhibitor recruitment
• Vicki Rosenberg- program development, marketing and communications

�Note 4: Conference &amp; Meetings

The October 2007 Annual Conference in Dearborn, is budgeted to earn a surplus of
$ 113,000, which is down from $139,000 Kalamazoo October 2006 surplus. Sponsorship
has been reduced by $10,000 to account for some possible attrition, and expenses for
hotel costs (meals, rooms &amp; AV) have been increased by $16,000 to account for the
higher rates at this location.

Governance as Leadership

Essential Skills Workshop

$10,500
40,000
7,000

Note 5: Publications Income

The 151h Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory was released in the fall of2006
and should generate revenue totaling $76,000 in 2006-07. This represents approximately
75% of the total revenue budgeted for this edition. Overall the Directory, which is
published every two years, is budgeted to generate a two year surplus of $39,000.
Note 6: Investment Earnings

The decrease from 2006-07 is the result of endowing $600,000 of the CMF Core Services
accumulated surplus.

costs for the facility.

for an extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover- an ongoing CMF legislative priority.

�HONORARY CHAIRS

THE COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS IS PLEASED TO RECOGNIZE
TED BRAUN OF SAGINAW AND MOLLY DOBSON OF ANN ARBOR
AS HONORARY CHAIRS OF THE 35TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
Ted Braun is recipient of the 2007 Mawby Award for Philanthropy. Named for Russell G. Mawby, president emeritus

of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the award recognizes an individual who has demonstrated a lifelong commitment
to encouraging private action for the public good through philanthropy.
Ted 's commitment to community is evidenced in the hundreds of hours of pro bono legal work he does annually
for small nonprofit agencies through the law firm of Braun, Kendrick &amp; Finkbeiner. As president of the Harvey
Randall Wickes Foundation, he is always open to listening to new ideas, giving guidance on funding options
and championing operational funding for strong local agencies.
Ted is an avid believer in the importance of relationship building and collaboration - shepherding the affiliation of
th e Child Abuse and Neglect Council with the United for Kids Children's Assessment Center, leading an endowment
campaign for Saginaw Valley State University and creating Volunteer START (students together for a responsible
tomorrow).
Over the years he has shared his time, treasure and talent with the Boys and Girls Club, United Way, Saginaw
Commu nity Foundation, Child and Family Services, Saginaw General Hospital and many more organizations.
Ted's legal expertise, business acumen and philanthropic endeavors continue to enrich the Saginaw area.
Molly Dobson is recipient of the 2007 Community Foundation Award for Philanthropy that recognizes the
~hou sands

of volunteers now involved in building community philanthropy though a network of 65 community

oundations serving all 83 Michigan counties. With her late husband Bill, they helped found the Ann Arbor Area
Comm unity Foundation. Former trustee and member of the Development Committee, Molly is now on the Fund
e Future Committee - working on building the community foundation's endowment capacity with unrestricted
and fi eld of interest funds.
e Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation's Youth Council pr.ovided a challenge grant to Ann Arbor's teen center,
e Neutral Zone that serves over 17,000 teens annually. Molly was the first donor and continues her support."Our
commu nity is fortunate to have many involved citizens, but very few match Molly Dobson's affection for and
edication to the Ann Arbor area," said Cheryl Elliott, president &amp; CEO, Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation.
'=or more th an 50 years, Molly has devoted time, money, energy and leadership making her one of Washtenaw
ounty's most valuable assets.
- ed Braun and Molly Dobson were selected by an objective peer review panel to receive these two awards
esented by Governor Granholm at the Governor's Service Awards. The Board ofTrustees of the Council of
ichigan Foundations thank them for their lifetime dedication, commitment and giving spirit that has done
so much and continues to benefit all of us in Michigan.
