The Committee discussed expanding its role beyond building awareness and understanding among CMF members to making recommendations to the Board ofTmstees on actions it suggests be taken in response to such issues as the Civil Rights ballot initiative. This discussion resulted from a motion made to add CMF's name to the list of supporters of Michigan United. After reviewing the Board's decision for CMF not to take a position, the Committee asked staff to draft language about when it might take action and how. B. Creating an Affinity Group ofFunders on Michigan's Economy There was consensus to invite interested members to form an Affinity Group that can focus on the State 's economy. The wide differences in how foundations can and are playing a role in economic development was noted. The role of a number of foundations with think tanks, like Michigan Future, was also discussed. There may be an opportunity to have the initial meeting with interested funders at the Annual Conference. Communications: Website, Articles & Reports • www.cmif.org.

The five issue areas of focus for OFL- early childhood development, education, health care, land use and workforce development have all been addressed during this reporting period. With the decision of the Advisory Committee members to continue support for the office beyond the original commitment, a very significant portion of staff time has been dedicated to obtaining additional fi nancial support for the office through September 30, 2008 and to gamer this from other types of foundations. Six community foundations and one out-of-state foundation have made grants to the Council of Michigan Foundations for OFL. Proposals are also pending with a corporate and a family foundation. The Phase II Assessment Report on the office has been printed and Phase III Assessment has been initiated with Grand Valley State University and sample database materials for Phase III are attached to this report. However, the clerical support position for the office is again open, after an unsuccessful hire. This position will most likely remain open until after the November Election. As much of the time and energy of the executive branch and the legislature has been consumed by the impending election and partisan politics; we have dedicated less time to specific proposals for funding and concentrated our efforts during this interval on office administrative concerns, developing new relationships, research and learning, including site visits and briefings. This was done with the counsel of Dave Egner (Committee Chair) and Rob Collier and with the understanding of our Executive Office contact, Teresa Bingman, Deputy Chief of Staff for Cabinet Affairs and Management. Nonetheless, we have continued to facilitate and help coordinate four briefings and one site visit as well as increased the total amount of financial support from foundations to the state to $28 million. Our challenge, as well as opportunity as we move forward into 2007 is to make a successfu l position for this office and for the foundation community to be a strategic force post-election 2006. This will require a discussion at the Advisory Committee level that supports CMF's Public Policy Committee strategy and utilizes the staff and office as a critical tool for assisting the state in developing a strategic economic recovery plan and accompanying public policy initiatives. The following work was accomplished by the Office of Foundation Liaison during this period: �Objective #1: To increase state officials' understanding of philanthropy and to identify opportunities for partnering with state government.

The Michigan IDA Partnership (MIDAP), a partnership between the Michigan Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Council of Michigan Foundations, has created a statewide program with over 1700 IDA Accounts available. IDAs help working poor families save toward their household dream of buying a home, attaining post-secondary education, or starting a small business. Since 2001 Michigan has: • Established 5 IDA Program Regional Networks to reach a statewide goal of 2000 IDA Accounts • Increased the number of available IDA Accounts in Michigan from 50 to more than 1700 • Expanded the number of IDA Program Sites from 5 to 50 • More than 1400 open/active accountholders saving toward their IDA Asset Goal. OUTCOMES: The Independent Evaluation Report* through Year Three (3) of the project found that the typical IDA Participant is a 33year-old unmarried African-American woman with some college education, a full-time job, a monthly household income of about $1 ,700 ($20,000 annually), and two children living at home. Nearly 80% of all participants plan to purchase a home, 10% intend to use their account for a business, and 10% for education. Additionally: • Regular savings by participants went from 25 to 71 percent, and 87 percent report they expect to save regularly in the future . • 99 percent have been affected positively by being in their IDA Program and 84% believe the financial management education classes have helped them save. • 90 percent are more aware of their credit rating. Families showed, on average, a 12% to 23% increase in their credit score depending on the credit score source. • 83 percent report they are more likely to work or stay employed since opening their IDA Through September 29, 2006, 909 IDA Participants have made an asset investment (625 homes purchased, 165 education account uses and 119 business accounts uses). The mortgages leveraged to date exceed $55 million. (see reverse) Leveraged $3 million in private sector funding, $4 million from the state of Michigan (including DHS and MSHDA funds) and $2 million in Federal Assets for Independence Act funding (All 5 Regional Coordinating Organizations (RCOs) have received AFIA support). IDA POLICY TO CONTINUE GROWTH: 1. Develop annual State Support for IDA Accounts through DHS and MSHDA existing budgets. 2.

Advancing giving. October 6, 2006 To: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson and Members ofthe Board of Trustees From: Libby Maynard, and David Kennedy, Co-Chairs, Government Relations Committee cc: Rob Collier, President Re: Report of the Government Relations Committee The Government Relations Committee met on September 26 with participation by 19 of the 28 members either by phone or in person. The following report with recommended action is presented for your consideration. I. Update of Legislative Goals Statement RESOLVED that the attached Legislative Goals Statement be adopted for 2006. Background We are pleased to add National Goal 11 on page 6- the Charitable IRA Provision to our list of National Accomplishments on page 2. Our challenge in 2007 will be to work with the Michigan Congressional Delegation to insure that the Provision is extended for 2008 and beyond. In terms of the State Legislative Issues, the Committee has proposed a change in Goal 3 on page 9 that deals with distribution of tobacco settlement funds to community foundations. Because the State has used the bulk of the settlement funds to create the 21 st Century Jobs Fund, this Goal would now become a maintenance function so that the State still knows how community foundations are using these endowed funds. We have noted in State Goal 5 on page 10 that with the end ofthe Single Business Tax (SBT) in 2007, a committee of community foundation representatives will be formed to work with staff and key legislators to insure that a replacement credit is included in the legislation to replace the SBT. Finally, the Committee recommends creation of a new State Goal on page 11 with a purpose of providing educational resources to members of the State legislature and the Office of the Attorney General on the subject of donor intent. This Goal summarizes the activity undertaken by CMF since the June introduction of HB 6351. The issue of donor intent will be discussed as part of the Lansing Update at the Annual Conference. II. Charitable Incentives and Reforms in HR 4 -Pension Protection Act of 2006. The Committee received a briefing on the activities to promote the IRA Charitable Provision through the work ofthe Community Foundations Research & Development Incubator of our supporting organization Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures. A Charitable IRA �Government Relations Report Page 2 Portfolio has been issued to all community foundations that meet national standards. In addition, Mike Gallagher has written a story on the Charitable IRA Provision for the CMF News Wire. The Committee also reviewed the Summary of Charitable Provisions in HR 4 document provided by the Council on Foundations (COF)- a copy of which is enclosed with this report. A session on the Reform Provisions will also be held at the Annual Conference. There was consensus that CMF needs to be involved as appropriate with COF in the work with Treasury on the Reports now required by HR 4 on Donor Advised Funds and Supporting Organizations. III. Donor Intent and the Michigan Legislature and Attorney General As noted above in the new State Goal on the issue of educating state legislators on the issue of donor intent, Rob Collier reviewed the sequence of events since the June introduction ofHB 6351 and provided copies of two documents provided by David Thoms ofMiller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone PLC at CMF's request- both enclosed with this report. The first document provides an analysis of existing Michigan law governing nonprofit trusts and corporations that confirms new legislation is not needed by the Attorney General in order to oversee the issue of donor intent. The second document provides a brief introduction to the issue of donor intent for policy makers. Mr. Collier indicated that he has not received any communication from the two key legislators about these documents or the invitation CMF has made to have Professor Larry Waggoner from the University of Michigan Law School provide them with a briefing on donor intent. There is consensus by the Committee that CMF with the support of committee members needs to step up its educational activities with members of the State Legislature. With Board approval, Staff should work on developing three strategies for the 2007 Plan of Work: • District Reports for State Representatives and Senators, similar to those prepared for Michigan's Congressional Delegation, • Targeted District Meetings with Representatives and Senators on committees that may impact philanthropy and nonprofit organizations, and • Bringing foundations and targeted grantees to Lansing for a Day at the Capitol. IV. Foundations on the Hill Rob Collier noted that Foundations on the Hill has been set by the Council on Foundations for February 27-28, 2007 because COF staff hope that participants in their Family Foundations Conference in Baltimore will stay for an additional two days and join others for Foundations on the Hill. The Committee discussed three issues: • Having foundation representatives covering all congressional districts for the Hill meetings, • Targeting several grantees to participate in the Hill meetings, and • The size of the foundation delegation from Michigan. In response to these issues, there was consensus by the Committee that CMF should: • offer limited travel scholarships if it would help insure that more community foundations attended, especially from districts not well covered by private foundations, • consider bringing two or three targeted grantees that would be effective in demonstrating the impact of philanthropy in Michigan, and �Government Relations Report Page 3 • pursue meetings in the home offices with larger numbers as opposed to growing the size of the delegation going to Washington for Foundations on the Hill. V. Other Rob Collier noted that Congressman Fred Upton will be speaking at the Annual Conference on Sunday evening October 15 in Kalamazoo and that this would be a great opportunity for us to thank him for his support of the Charitable IRA Provision and philanthropy in Congress. We look forward to discussing this report with you. �CMF Council of Michigan Foun6ations Serving grontmakers. Advancing giving. Legislative Goals Statement The purpose of the Government Relations Committee of the Council of Michigan Foundations is to seek support for legislative changes at both the state and national levels that will help to strengthen, promote and increase foundation and corporate philanthropy. The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March I, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April 12, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995; October 30, 1996; March 13, 1997; November 4, 1998; October 14, 1999; October 2, 2000, October 2, 2001, September 29, 2002, November 10, 2003, November 3, 2004, October 10, 2005 and October 17, 2006.* I. INTRODUCTION Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society, supported by appropriate federal and state legislation and regulations. While there have been refonns at both levels of government to encourage giving, there have also been provisions in past legislation, such as the 1969 Tax Act, and regulations that serve as disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as discourage charitable donations to existing foundations. Because the mission of CMF is to strengthen, promote and increase philanthropy in Michigan, the Board of Trustees has adopted as one of six operating goals- to advocate for a legislative and regulatory government conducive to philanthropy. In 1977, the Members ofCMF directed the Board of Trustees to develop a public inforn1ation program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy and include communication with public policymakers. A Government Relations Committee was established to implement the program and has continued to represent CMF Members on their legislative interests and priorities. CMF works with foundation and corporate Members, the Council on Foundations, other regional associations of grantmakers and the Forum of Regional Associations ofGrantmakers, Independent Sector, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and other nonprofit organizations to enhance the understanding of public policymakers about philanthropy and to bring about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. As a result of these efforts by CMF and others, the following goals have been accomplished. II.

NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE ISSUES 1. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value of foundations ' grantmaking capability. Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that all historical financial data be taken into consideration. History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. (Reilly/Skadden, University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration study sponsored by CMF, 1981 -Private Foundations : The Payout Requirement and Its Effect on Investment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study "Spending Policies and Investment Planning for Foundations," 1995, sponsored by the Council on Foundations.) A CMF sponsored study, completed in May 2000 and updated in 2004 by Cambridge Associates, Inc. of the actual performance of a group of Michigan * Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 update. Page 2 �endowed private foundations, confirms the position of maintaining the payout rate at no more than 5 %. The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy and the National Network of Grantmakers continue to support an increase in the payout to 6% for private foundations. A recommended payout of 5% for community foundations donor advised funds and other donor advised funds, supported by the National Panel convened by Independent Sector at the request of the Senate Finance Committee, was not included in final charitable reforms included in HR 4- the Pension Bill that passed in August 2006. As a result of this legislation, the Department of Treasury will now undertake a study of donor advised funds and supporting organizations with a recommended payout likely. The issue of introduction of the treatment of administrative expenses as part of the five percent payout calculation for private foundations will likely be considered again by the Senate Finance Committee in 2007. 2. Goal: Change the limitation on gifts to a private foundation from 20 percent to 30 percent of AGI for gifts of appreciated property and from 30 percent to 50 percent of AGI for gifts of cash. Explanation: Under existing law, the amount deductible by an individual taxpayer for contributions to private non-operating foundations is computed as a percentage of the donor's contribution base (in most cases, his or her adjusted gross income). An individual may deduct only 20 percent of the gifts of appreciated property or 30 percent of gifts of cash. On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50 percent of his contribution base for cash (and 30 percent for appreciated property) for gifts to public charities. 3. Goal: Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer for a gift to a private foundation of certain capital gain property. Explanation: Individual taxpayers may deduct the full fair market value of a gift to a private foundation of appreciated property in the form of publicly-traded stock, if the gift is less than 10 percent of the outstanding stock of the company. However, in other cases, such as privately held stock, the amount of deduction continues to be limited to the donor's cost or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The same gift to a public charity entitles the taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction. 4. Goal: Repeal the excise tax on private foundations. Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from two to one percent if a foundation's payout for the year in question equals or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets, times the average payout percentage for the five years, plus 1 percent of the foundation's net investment income. Private foundations are the only 50 l(c)(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax. The current fommla is difficult to administer and can limit charitable giving. * Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 update. Page 3 �Simplification to a flat one percent is an acceptable intermediate step and enjoys bipartisan support in the House and the Senate. While simplification is considered a strategy for promoting giving, efforts to include this in the charitable incentive and charitable reform legislation in 2006 have been unsuccessful. The Council on Foundations agreed that it would be best to promote just one charitable incentive, and the IRA C ha ritable Rollover was selected. This issue will likely become part of new charitable legislation in 2007. 5. Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and repeal the three percent floor on itemized deductions. Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, Congress approved a three percent floor in deductions. This floor was scheduled to expire at the end of 1995, but in 1993 was made permanent. 6. Goal: Limit lineal descendants who are "disqualified persons" at the level of grandchildren. Expla nation: In 1984, the law was amended to limit "disqualified persons" to substantial contributors to a foundation and their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and their spouses. The amendment provided that substantial contributors will no longer be considered "disqualified persons" if, over a ten-year period, they meet certain requirements to distance themselves from the foundation. However, there is still no logical rationale - - or examples of abuse- - to justify the inclusion of lineal descendants beyond the level of grandchildren. 7. Goal: Modify the law to permit the "out of corpus" requirement to be met by a foreign grantee if sufficient documentation is provided showing that the full amount of the grant was spent for the specified purposes within 12 months after the year the grant was made. Explanation : When making grants to some foreign charities, private foundations are required to treat them as private foundations. Any grant from a private foundation to another private foundation requires that the amount granted "flow through" the grantee and out as qualifying distributions that are made "out of corpus" by the end of the following year. The purpose for this rule is to prevent a foundation from avoiding the payout rule by having one private foundation give to another, who then simply adds the grant to its endowment (corpus), with charitable grantees receiving no benefit. In the foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment and totally misunderstands the concept of "out of corpus." 8. Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. Explanation : Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form that permits itemized deductions; instead they fi le the short fonn that allows only a standard deduction. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize charitable contributions within certain limits, but the deduction expired January 1, 1987. * Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 update. Page 4 �The Senate Fiscal Agency has evaluated the cost of the non-itemizer and deemed that it will cost the federal government more than it will generate in new charitable giving. As a result Senator Levin has indicated his non-support for this issue. President Bush has dropped the charitable non-itemizer from his proposed budget for 2006 - the first time since he has been President that it has not been included. Senator Sa ntorum from Pennsylvania continued in 2006 to be a strong advocate for the non-itemizer, a nd it was included in the Senate version of the CAR E Act. However, when the CARE Act was added to the Pension Bill's C onference Committee, it became evident that it would not survive as one of the limited charitable incentives. It was not included in the final version of the Pension Bill, signed into law by the President in August 2006. As of September 2006, it is not certain who will sponsor legislation for the non-itemizer in 2007. 9. Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can lobby or otherwise influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that adversely affect grantmaking. Explanation: Continuous monitoring is essential to oppose unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory reporting burdens on both foundations and their grantees. For example, despite the efforts of the nonprofit sector led by Independent Sector (IS), the Appeals Court has disallowed the ruling of the Federal Election Commission exempting 50l(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations as political committees. This means the Commission will need to start again in dealing with this issue. Independent Sector (IS), on behalf of foundations and public charity nonprofits, has taken the position that 50l(c)(3) and 50l(c)(4) organizations should not be included in the definition of political committees. Political committees are prohibited from raising money from corporations (including nonprofit corporations) or unions or from using contributions in excess of $5,000 from an individual to pay for electioneering activities. Political committees must also disclose names of contributors in regular reports to the FEC, and contributions to such comm ittees are not tax-deductible. IS makes the following points: • • • Current tax law already limits the lobbying and partisan political activities of these groups. The FEC should maintain its current, clear distinction between "express advocacy'' communications (those that clearly call for a vote for or against a particular candidate or political party) and other nonpartisan communications. It should not adopt IRS standards for partisan advocacy, which were designed for a different regulatory and enforcement regime. Voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities should only be considered political expenditures if they are clearly tied to a candidate or party. Activities targeted to specific populations (e.g., women, African Americans, a particular neighborhood, members of a particular organization) should not be considered political "expenditures" simply because those populations may be "more likely" to vote for a particular candidate or party. * Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 update. Page 5 �• 10. The FEC should not issue rules without further guidance from Congress. Major changes such as those contemplated deserve full debate and action by elected representatives. Goal: Support legislation to eliminate the classification of realized gains and income, derived from leveraged real estate investments by foundations, as unrelated business taxable income. Explanation: Foundations and nonprofit organizations are significant investors in the real estate market. However, income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Private foundations should be treated in the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acqu isition of certain real property. 11. Goal: Permit tax-free distribution from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes. Explanation: It is proposed that direct gifts from an IRA to a charitable organization would not be taxed as income to the account-holder who has attained the age of 59 \12 years of age, if the disbursement is made directly to either a qualified charity or a qualifying deferred giving plan. It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many charitable organizations, including community foundations. This issue continues to receive bi-partisan support in both the House and Senate. The President even discussed it when presenting his 200() budget. M ichigan Representative Dave Camp and both Senator Levin and Senator Stabenow played key roles in the inclusion of the IRA Charitable Rollover in the final version of the Pension Bill signed into law by the President in August 2006. The provision is only for 2006 and 2007 and allows individuals age 701/2 to make contributions of up to $100,000 tax free from IRAs to charitable organizations, except donor advised funds and private foundations, in both 2006 and 2007. CMF through its supporting organization, M idwest Community Foundations' Ventures, has played a leading role in the development of the Charitable IRA Portfolio distributed on September 11, 2006 to all community foundations nationwide that meet national standards for community foundations. Efforts with Congressman Camp will now focus on getting the provision extended for 2008 and beyond and including gifts to donor advised funds and private foundations. 12. Goal: Avoid excessive regulations on corporate giving. Explanation: CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation, which would require costly administration. The House version of the 2002 Corporate and Accounting: Accountability and Transparency Act included three reporting provisions (all Board service by officers, directors, and significant fami ly members; all gifts of $1 0,000 or more; all transactions * Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 update. Page 6 �valued at $10,000 or more) that would have a negative impact on corporate philanthropy. Working with the Council on Foundations, CMF was successful in ensuring that this provision was not included in the Senate version, the version signed into law in the summer of2002 by the President. HR 543, introduced by Representative Gilmore of Ohio, did not make it out of Committee in the 2005-2006 session of Congress but will likely be introduced again in 2007 with the same purpose to impose additional reporting requirements on corporate giving programs. 13. Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 2001 on creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. Explanation: The "Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001" passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President in June 2001, phases out the Estate Tax between 2002 and 2010. Full repeal however is only in effect for the year 2010. The estate tax then reverts, unless new legislation is passed, to the 2000 tax code status. President Bush has indicated that it is a priority to make repeal of the estate tax permanent. It is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office in a July 2004 Report titles Charitable Bequests and the Repeal ofthe Estate Ta.x, that full repeal of the estate tax would annually cost the nonprofit sector $ 17 billion in charitable bequests. Independent Sector (IS) supports a compromise of an exemption rate of $3.5 million for an individual and a 35% tax rate. At this rate it is bel ieved that nearly all family farms and family-owned businesses would be exempt from the estate tax. The estate tax would only apply to 0.3 percent of Americans as opposed to only 2 percent of estates today. The Congressional Budget Office further estimates in a July 2005 Report titled Effects of the Federal Estate Tax on Farms and Small Businesses, that the IS position would decrease charitable giving by about 3 percent or $7.4 billion as opposed to $17 billion with total repeal. HR 8 has been passed by the House, however efforts to pass it in the Senate have been unsuccessful. Repeal of the Estate Tax is now included in the " Trifecta" Bill, which the Republican leadership in the Senate would still like to see passed before the Senate adjourns for the November 2006 elections. While it is the position ofCMF to not support or oppose legislation that has a broad impact beyond the charitable field, it is necessary to monitor the impact on philanthropy of this legislation and future changes that might be made in the estate tax. 14. Goal: Support efforts to incorporate philanthropy as an objective of legislation providing financial resources to character education and other K-12 educational initiatives. Explanation: CMF was successful through the Learning to Give initiative in having the word "giving" added to the definition of character education in the 2002 Education Bill signed by President Bush. Learning to Give, now through its new affiliation with The * Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 update. Page 7 �League, is assisting when appropriate national partners, such as the Corporation for National and Community Service, in efforts to ensure that giving is incorporated in new character education programs and other appropriate federal initiatives. 15. Goal: Support legislation requiring a five percent payout for Donor Advised Funds. Explanation: In 2005 and 2006, the Senate Finance Committee has continued to advocate for a required payout for Donor Advised Funds, defined simply as Funds at public charities that primarily make grants to charitable beneficiaries pursuant to advice provided by the donor. This requirement is caused by concerns of members of Congress that some Donor Advised Funds administered by organizations such as the Fidelity Gift Fund never make a charitable distribution. Because the five percent payout is recommended by both Michigan and national standards for community foundations, CMF supports such legislation. The National Panel convened by IS at the request of the Senate Finance Committee has recommended this payout requirement for Donor Advised Funds in its final Report presented on June 22, 2005 to Senator Grassley, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee. A payout for Donor Advised Funds will now be considered by the Department of Treasury in its study of Donor Advised Funds required in the Charitable Reform Section of HR 4 - the Pension Bill, signed into law in August 2006. 16. Goal: Support efforts to make the IRS forms 990 and 990PF more useful to the public, foundations, charities and regulators as prime sources of reliable information on the nonprofit sector. Explanation: Recent efforts by the Foundation Center, National Center on Charitable Statistics, and Council on Foundations to present accurate data to Congress on the administrative costs of operating a private foundation, indicate that the existing 990PF and companion 990 Form are inadequate in their current formats. A review of30 990PF returns by CMF staff in January 2004 confirmed the problems filers are having with the current fom1s. The 2005 Report to the Senate Finance Committee by the National Panel convened by Independent Sector recommends that the Internal Revenue Service revise these forms. Dave Lindberg, CMF Vice President for Finance, is participating in a 990 Reforn1 Advisory Committee convened by Independent Sector (IS), that is working with the IRS on recommended changes for a new Form 990 and 990PF. 17. Goal: Support efforts to limit tax shelters in which charities receive little or no benefit. Explanation: The Senate Finance Committee has identifi ed through Hearings held in 2004 and 2005, examples of tax shelters providing little benefit to charity. As a result Senator Grassley introduced S 993 in 2005 to place excise taxes on insurance contracts in which certain exempt organizations may hold an interest. This Bill received support from the Council on Foundations, Independent Sector and CMF. The issue of insurance * Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 update. Page 8 �contracts has been included in the Reform Provisions ofHR 4 passed in 2006. However, Senator Grassley may introduce further legislation in 2007 to further deal with tax shelters. V. STATE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES 1. Goal: Monitor and support the continued granting of property tax exemption by local units of government to foundations. Explanation: CMF, working with partners such as the Michigan Nonprofit Association, wi ll closely monitor cases that could adversely impact foundations where nonprofit organizations are being forced by local tax authorities to appeal their tax exemption status to the State Tax Tribunal, and if needed, consider filing letters of support with the Tax Tribunal. 2. Goal: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from individuals. Explanation: Other states have found that a tax deduction mirroring the federal tax code does motivate additional gifts by individuals to charities. While the introduction of legislation in tough economic times is unlikely, the Michigan Nonprofit Association continues to identify this as a legislative priority. 3. Goal: MONITOR AND REPORT TO THE STATE ON THE USE OF TOBACCO SETTLEMENT FUNDS DISTRIBUTED TO CERTIFIED C OMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS FOR HEALTHY YOUTH AND HELTHY SENIORS PURPOSES Explanation: Michigan's share of the national tobacco settlement ($206 billion over the next 26 years) between 46 states, five commonwealths and territories and the District of Columbia with five tobacco companies, representing 97.5% of the industry, is $8.3 billion. The master settlement agreement does not specify how states may spend their settlement payments. Since 2001 , CMF has distributed more that $20 million of interest earned on the tobacco settlement funds not used for the Merit Scholarship Program and earmarked annually through the Department of Career Development budget. An evaluator is preparing a summary report for CMF on the use of the funds distributed during the three year period 2001 to 2003. Because of the State's financial budget problems, no funds were appropriated for this effort in 2004 and 2005. The legislature passed legislation in 2006 with the Governor's support to securitize a major portion of the tobacco settlement to create the 21st Century Jobs Fund. As a result future annual tobacco settlement payments will be reduced greatly. Thus the viability of reactivating this Partnership in 2007 or beyond using the original Tobacco Settlement Partnership Agreement is unlikely. 4. Goal: Support legislation to simplify the Charitable Solicitations Act. * Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 update. Page 9 �Explanation: Community foundations are required, as well as other charitable nonprofits, to file for an annual solicitation license. The licensing, enforcement, and appeal processes are not considered user friendly by nonprofits and do not reflect the changing cost in fundraising. The Michigan Nonprofit Association is leading the effort on this issue. 5. Goal: To monitor admin istration of the pennanent community foundation tax credits for individuals, families and businesses and their relationship to current and proposed tax credits. Explanation: As a result of term limits CMF staff continually work with legislators to explain the tax credit and the role of community foundations. There is an on-going effort by other nonprofit sector groups such as hospitals, schools and community development corporations to obtain targeted tax credits without acknowledgement of the potential to meet their needs through the existing community foundation tax credit. In addition, CMF staff assists Treasury Department staff to insure that the re-certification process is working with certified community foundations that cover all 83 counties. With the decision by the Legislature to eliminate the Single Business Tax (SBT) at the end of 2007, the community foundation tax credit in the SBT will be eliminated as well. CMF will form a committee of community foundation representatives in 2007 to work with key legislators to have a community foundation tax credit included in the legislation introduced to replace the single business tax. The community foundation tax credit for individuals and families is not affected by the SBT legislation. 6. Goal: To assist the Charitable Trust Section ofthe Attorney General's office, an important source of information about charitable giving and the nonprofit sector in Michigan. Explanation: CMF has always worked with the Charitable Trust Section of the Office of the Attorney General. With the election of Attorney General Cox in 2004, CMF and the Michigan Nonprofit Association proposed a more formal relationship to the Attorney General which he approved. As a result, the Nonprofit Council to the Charitable Trust Section, led by his Deputy Attorney General Carol lssacs, was created. CMF has three representatives on the Council, which is considered a national model and is now being replicated by other Attorneys General. The Committee meets three times a year and assists the Section on issues related to charitable giving and charities. In addition, the staffleader of the Section attends the CMF Annual Conference. This relationship is vital because there are recent cases in which state attorneys general have initiated litigation against foundations for excess compensation and self dealing abuses and examples of unfavorable state legislation initiated by attorneys general 7. Goal: To support revisions to the Nonprofit Corporation Act Explanation: There have been no major amendments to the Act since it was adopted in 1982. Suggested changes to the Act include: *Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 update. Page 10 �• • To allow nonprofits to have members vote by mail, fax or email, To increase the number of required board members from one to three (a recommendation of The National Panel's Final Report to the Senate Finance Committee), • To provide the same liability protection to those serving on nonprofit boards as to those serving on the board of a business corporation, and • To require all personal loans to employees, board members and volunteers be reviewed by the state. The State Bar Association is leading the redrafting process for this bill with introduction of legislation expected in the fall of 2006. 8. Goal: To provide educational resources to members of the State legislature and the Office of the Attorney General on the issue of donor intent. Explanation: As a result of an investigation into the Ford Foundation by the Attorney General, HB 6351 was introduced by Representatives Dillon and Huizenga in June 2006. The purpose of the bill is to redefined donor intent as a pattern of grantmaking in the first three years of a foundation ' s existence and the specification of a defined place, like the state of Michigan, in the founding documents. The bill will not be considered by a committee and the founding sponsor Representative Dillon has indicated that he will not support his bill. As a result of meeting with the two Representatives, CMF had two documents prepared, by the law firm Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone PLC during the summer of 2006 which were delivered to them and Deputy Attorney General Issacs on September 7, 2006. The first document is a review of existing laws that confirm the Attorney General does not need new legislation to oversee donor intent with regard to private foundations. The second document provides an introduction to donor intent from the perspective of a policy maker. In addition, Professor L a rry Waggoner from the University of Michigan Law School has volunteered to provide a briefing on the issue of donor intent to legislators. CMF is now waiting for a response to these documents and the proposed briefing from the legislators. On September 19, 2006 HB 6535 the Charitable Foundations Accountability Act was introduced by Representative Huizenga without the support of Representative Dillon. CMF has indicated its opposition to this bill and provided a Media Response Statement to members, should the media ask about it. Representative Huizenga has indicated that this Bill will not advance and was only introduced at the request of the Attorney General. * Bolded text signifies proposed 2006 upda te.

Advancing giving. One South Harbor Avenue · P.O. Box 599 · Grand Haven. Ml 49417 (616) 842-7080 · FAX (6 16) 842-1760 · cmf@cmif.org · www.cmif.org Resolved that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the August 31, 2006, CMF & Supporting Organizations' Internal Financial Statements as recommended by the CMF Audit Committee. On October 3, 2006, the CMF Audit Committee reviewed the enclosed financial report. During this meeting management noted the following anticipated expenditure variances for 2006-07, stating the additional interest income and annual conference sponsorship support should result in the Core Operations ending the year at no worse than break-even. Anticipated Budget Variances 2006-07 CMF Core Operations In May 2006 The Williams Group billed $6,300 for the work attached to the 2006-07 strategic planning process which took place in December 2005 and January 2006 and the February 2006 Board meeting. At the July 27, 2006 CMF Executive Committee meeting $35,000 was allocated to fund work by Barbara Rapaport (Diversity/Inclusiveness Initiative) in the following additional areas: • Analysis of CMF's organizational structure • Coaching management team on individual & collective competencies • Succession planning process for President's position At this point it appears the interest income and Annual Conference surplus should be greater than budgeted and enough to cover the overages noted above. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2006-07\ 10.17.06 Meeting Materials\Treasurer's Report.doc �CMF has retained the law firm of Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone P.L.C. to provide research on the issue of Donor Intent that has been raised by the Michigan Attorney General's office. Rob has approached a couple of members who have indicated a willingness to fund this work. Endowment Funds Under the original budget prepared for 2006-07 it was anticipated that the Director of Information Services would remain at CMF through 3-31-06, completing the organization of the library material given by CMF to the Dorothy Jolmson Center for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership at GVSU. When this position was vacated in January 2006 CMF agreed to reimburse GVSU to complete this work, which came to $13,680 and was billed in late June 2006. This was an unbudgeted item that has been charged to the Mawby Fund. Core Operations Note 1: Additional Contributions As of 6-30-06 both the Mott and Kellogg additional contributions have been received totaling $175,000. See attached detailed report for other contributions. On the internal statements the remaining three years of Kellogg's additional contribution ($450,000) has been set aside as deferred revenue. For audit purposes the entire five years or $750,000 was booked as revenue in 2005-06. Note 2: Other Grants The $25,000 is year one of Skillman's 3 year commitment to support the Detroit office. The remaining two years' worth of support ($50,000) has been set aside on the internal statements as deferred revenue. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2006-07\ 10.17.06 Meeting Materials\Treasurer's Report.doc �Note 3: Investment Income The variance from budget is primarily due to the following special projects dollars remaining at 3-31-06, which accounts for approximately $28,000 of the variance. Joyce Early Childhood Tobacco Settlement IDA Funding 3 Year Technology Funders $334,000 160,000 593,000 218,000 Note 4: Wages The favorable variance is due to the following: CEO increase waiting on compensation study & Communication Specialist wages and benefits less than budget LTG support greater than budget IDA support greater than budget Overtime & Mise less than budget $6,100 4,500 4,500 6,400 Note 5: Technology See attached detail.

October 6, 2006 To: CMF Board of Trustees From: David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance/ Administration Re: June 30, 2006 Investment Report The following Resolution is presented for consideration: RESOLVED that the June 30, 2006, Investment Report be accepted, as r ecommended 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), meet to review the investment performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds. On September 6, 2006, the CMF Investment Committee met to review and approve the enclosed reports. In addition, it was announced during this meeting that Paul Lawler, VP of Finance & Treasurer W.K. Kellogg Foundation has agreed to join this committee to take the place of T ed Doan. To follow up on the discussion at the May 16, 2006 meeting the committee has agreed to explore options for investing a portion of the endowment pool in the TIFF Multi-Asset Fund to gain access to some alternative asset categories. The TIFF Multi-Asset Fund is broken down as follows. Asset Class US Equities International Equities Fixed Income Real Estate High Yield Bonds Absolute Return Commodities Resource-Related Stocks Cash % 25 .2% 29.1 % 13.0% 3.0% .7% 12.1% 3.4% 8.6% 4.9% �Investment Report Page 2 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 Class S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 REIT International Equities Short Bond Bond High Yield Bond Fund Cash Allocation 37.0% 9.0% 6.0% 5.0% 13.0% 12.5% 12.5% 5.0% 0% The Lipper returns are based on the following asset classes. Lipper Large Cap Core Lipper Mid Cap Core Lipper Small Cap Core Lipper Real Estate Equity Lipper International Lipper Corporate Debt A Rated Fixed Income Asset Allocation Report The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that instructs CMF's Vice President Finance/Administration to rebalance the endowment fund portfolio on a quarterly basis. Investment Performance Comparison Report In addition to the Lipper returns and the Cambridge & 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.

Advancing giving. October 8, 2006 Memo to: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Vicki Rosenberg Re: Update on Cultural Competency Initiative Since the May Board meeting, CMF has began its work to respond to three key recommendations that emerged from our internal culture assessment and the three member/trustee focus groups related to our cultural competency work. The key recommendations are: • Improve alignment between goals/priorities and member needs, internal communications, information sharing, shared decision-making, management of strategic priorities, employee mentoring and development. • Obtain Board endorsement and active, consistent leadership for cultural competency • Develop and implement explicit cultural competency goals for the annual conference To further respond to recommendation number two - Board leadership, staff is presenting the following two resolutions for your consideration and action. I. Resolution on Inclusion The first resolution updates the Board Resolution on Diversity and Inclusion from February 2002 to reflect our commitment to building CMF's organizational capacity to effectively: • serve a diverse membership whose grantmaking occurs in an increasingly diverse global society • achieve our mission to strengthen, promote and increase philanthropy in Michigan. 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 G uiding Principals. " ( underlined words have been added) �Cultural Competency Update Page 2 Background Recommended changes include: • Using "inclusion" in place of "diversity and inclusion" • Clarifying language, for example replacing "we" with "CMF Board and staff' The February 2, 2002 - Board Resolution is presented for reference. Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the following statement on diversity and inclusion be adopted as presented: "We strive to model and promote diversity and inclusion as a means to strengthen the work of grantmakers. We do so by working to create an environment in which man and women from different national origins, ethnicities, races, and cultures, of different generations, religions, economic backgrounds, and sexual orientations, and with different skills, abilities, lifestyles and beliefs are respected, valued, and encouraged to participate. We seek to understand, represent, and share the range of philanthropic perspectives held and traditions followed by our members. And, we actively attempt to serve a diverse membership, be governed by a diverse Board of Trustees, and to attract and retain diverse staff members. We encourage members to join with us be developing their own commitment to diversity and inclusion for the future of philanthropy in Michigan." II. Strategic Plan on Cultural Competency The second Resolution concerns the attached Strategic Plan on Cultural Competency. As you will see from the following background statement, we have started a number of the activities contained in this Plan. By adopting this Plan, the Board will be committing CMF to incorporating cultural competency into the ongoing Plan ofWork for 2006 and the Plan of Work for 2007 that the Board w ill approve at the March 2007 Board Meeting. RESOLVED 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.

Strategic Plan Update Chairperson Cummings introduced Bob Tobin from the Williams Group, who joined the meeting at this time, to faci litate an update of the Strategic Plan. She noted that Mr. Tobin had done a great job in leading the Board through the last Strategic Planning process in 2002, and it was only appropriate that he assist with this update. Mr. Tobin noted CMF staffupdates the Strategic Plan Overview annually, and this year has recommended revising the mission statement affirmed in 2002. Mr. Collier commented that the words improve and enhance had both drawn questioning comments from members and thus the words strengthen and promote are being recommended as replacements.

Mr. Tobin reviewed the Strategic Plan Overview. There was consensus in the discussion that: • The vision statement needs to reflect the value it offers our members, • Ethical Leadership needs to be added to the Values Statement, • Keeping eligible nonmembers as a focal point of a Strategic Question, • Moving "stronger relationships with professional advisors" in the SWOT analysis to the Want but Don't Have Section, • Deleting term limits from the SWOT Analysis, and • Adding ethics to the education and operational goals. Ms. Cummings noted that the Member Expectations section of the document will be discussed at the May Meeting after the results of the biennial Member Survey are received. IV.

Technology CMF is one of eight regional association launch partners in the Forum of Regional Associations' (Forum) Knowledge Management Initiative (KMI). The goal of the KMI is to develop a shared web site to be used by CMF and other regional associations. The site will provide an integrated system of content and association management tools. By sharing in this new resource vs. investing only in our own website, CMF will save over $100,000. Kathy Ginocchio, CMF director of technology, is one of the three leaders in this national initiative ensuring that all of our state-based needs are met with this new site. The new web site will come on line in fall 2006 providing CMF members with greatly expanded value and service via www.cmif.org. Web Trends The goal of the Communications Plan submitted to the Board in February 2005 was to use communications more ~ffectively to advance the achievement ofCMF's mission, vision and objectives. Web trends, tracked monthly, support the claim that www.cmif.org has become one of the primary vehicles through which CMF communicates with members and with others interested in the work of our members. Since launching the redesigned website in April 2003, www.cmif.org has experienced tremendous growth. Highlights since April I, 2005 include: • • • • a 57% increase in usage overall (number of pages viewed) a 25% increase in number of visitors a 77% increase in usage of the News Room (with over 20,000 hits in Apri12006 alone) a 21 0% increase in usage of the Events Calendar �President's Report May 2006 Page 4 • a 60% increase in usage of Job Postings (our new Communications Specialist found the job on our website) IV.

Advancing giving. May 17,2006 To: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson and Members, Board of Trustees From: Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President & COO and Kathy Ginocchio, Director of Technology Re: Preliminary Analysis of 2006 Biennial Member Satisfaction Survey The biennial Member Satisfaction Survey has now been completed. instead of sending it just to the main member contact as has been done in the past, we sent it to 3,235 member individuals for whom we have direct contact information. Expanding distribution to all member individuals is one of the strategies CMF introduced two years ago to build awareness about, engagement in and satisfaction among every individual trustee or employee of member organizations -all key factors in membership renewal. I. Who Responded? 327 members responded to the survey-- 265 via email and 62 in hard copy, a rate of slightly more than 10%, the national average for survey responses. Of those: • 57% of respondents are in leadership positions (33% trustees; 24% chief executives); • 13% are program officers/vice presidents for programs • 5% are financial officers • 25% play other roles • • • 62% of respondents have worked in philanthropy for 8 or more years, 30% for 2 to 8 years 8% for less than 2 years • • • • 54% are from community foundations 18% are from family foundations (which comprise 42% of CMF's membership) 15% represent independent foundations 3% are corporate givers 11. What Did They Tell Us? A. Value of Membership and Customer Service • • 100% of respondents rated the "overall value" of their membership as excellent (63%) or satisfactory (37%) 82% rated "customer service" as excellent (60%) or satisfactory (22%). 17% answered "don't know" �Member Satisfaction Survey May 17, 2006 Page 2 B. Level of Engagement in Services and Activities • 44% of respondents rate themselves as being minimally engaged • 38% as moderate; and • 18% as high. Increasing engagement levels is a high priority for CMF. A variety of strategies are being designed to track member preferences to inform increased target marketing. Lower than desired engagement levels are in part related to insufficient awareness about CMF services as indicated by the following responses. The good news is that members who know and use these services are very pleased with their q uality. C. Awareness of Services and Resources • 89% are very (58%) or moderately (31 %) aware of news and information services • 82% are very (47%) or moderately (35%) aware of representation with government in Lansing and Washington • 81% are very (43%) or moderately (38%) aware of networking opportunities • 72% are very (32%) or moderately ( 40%) aware of education programs and resources • 71% are very (29%) or moderately (42%) aware of technical assistance services • 64% are very (22%) or moderately (42%) aware of research services and the lending library • 56% are very (18%) or moderately (38%) of member discounts D. Satisfaction with Communications • 66% to 87% of respondents find the web site, £-news, Memo to Members and News Wire excellent or satisfactory. It is important to note that 13 to 32% marked "not applicable" indicating a lack of awareness. • Not surprisingly, 72% of respondents were unaware of Family Philanthropist which is sent only to family members. Of those aware of this publication, 99% rated it excellent or satisfactory. • 87% agree that CMF's news and information services provide value; • 82% find that news unique and not easily found elsewhere; • 92% find it timely and up to date. E. Impact and Help • CMF received its highest rating of excellence (82%) for its contributions to the success of philanthropy in Michigan with another 12% finding it satisfactory. • 70% frequently or sometimes contact us for help • 74% rated us excellent (50%) or satisfactory (24%) on our effectiveness in welcoming and serving a diverse membership, 2% rated us poor in this area and 22% marked not applicable. F. Issues Facing Philanthropy At least 75% of members are very or somewhat concerned about four major issues facing philanthropy in Michigan: • 96% about the economy; • 92% about the state budget crisis; • 83% about accountability; • 75% about media scrutiny �Member Satisfaction Survey May 17, 2006 Page 3 Ill.

Advancing giving. May 16,2006 Memo to : Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Update of October 2000 Policy on Partnering with State Government At the May 5, 2006 conference call, the Executive Committee agreed to ask the Board of Trustees to review the October 2000 Resolution on CMF's Relationship with State Government as presented by the Government Relations Committee. The purpose of this review is to reaffirm that the Resolution is in alignment with CMF' s updated Strategic Plan and be updated if needed. Because community foundations are often sought as partners for more than just financial support, it is recommended that this criteria be added. RESOLVED that the October 2000 Resolution on Partnering with State Government be amended by adding: • Endorsement from the Community Foundations Committee when the proposed roles (such as convenor) for community foundations go beyond being asked for grant support. Background The October 2000 Resolution reads: " RESOLVED that CMF respond to opportunities to partner with State Government when the following criteria are in place: • There is evidence that the partnership opportunity shall advance the mission and goals ofCMF, • There is confirmation from advisors that the partnership is considered non-partisan, • CMF members support the proposed partnership, and • The Executive Committee reviews and approves entering into the Partnership. Since that Resolution has been passed, CMF has taken on the following partnerships: • Working with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) on the four year Emergency Homelessness Prevention Initiative, • Serving as fiscal agent for the Governor's Bi-Partisan Land Use Leadership Council, • Serving as Fiscal Agent for the Lt. Governor' s Commission on Higher Education and Workforce Development, and • Hosting the Joyce Foundation 's two year Early Learning Michigan Initiative for the Department of Human Services. Finally, the six year Michigan IDA Partnership ends on September 30, 2006 with transition to the Asset Building Policy Project of the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM). The Homelessness Prevention Initiative and Early Learning Michigan Initiative are also concluding in 2006. I look forward to your counsel on updating this Resolution. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

May 17,2006 To: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance/Administration Re: March 31, 2006 Investment Report The following Resolution is presented for consideration: RESOLVED that the March 31,2006, Investment Report be accepted, as recommended by the CMF Investment Committee. On May 16, 2006, the CMF Investment Committee met to review and approve the enclosed reports. 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. Recent Activity of the Committee During the past quarter, three new endowment funds have been established to further the work of CMF and its supporting organizations. William C. Richardson Endowment Fund In recognition of former W.K. Kellogg Foundation CEO, Dr. William C. Richardson's, service to philanthropy in Michigan and his leadership in advancing the engagement of philanthropy in public policy, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation made a $400,000 gift to establish this Fund. The purpose of this Fund is to support the ongoing involvement of an internship/fellowship at CMF by students from Michigan colleges or universities, who are interested in careers involving the nonprofit sector and public policy. Carl F. Reitz Fund for Investment Education In recognition of Mr. Reitz's long time service to CMF and philanthropy in Michigan the Besser Foundation made a $25,000 gift to establish this fund which was matched by $25,000 from CMF. The purpose of this fund is to support ongoing investment education opportunities for foundation staff and trustees. Learning to Give Endowment Fund In February 2006 the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded a $3 million endowment grant that wi ll be insure the continued free web based access for teachers of the more than 800 �Investment Report Page 2 lesson plans, briefing papers and other contents produced by Learning to Give in defining and creating school-based K-12 philanthropy education by teaching children the content about giving their time, talent, and treasure for the common good. Recent Investment Committee meetings have focused on enhancing the investment returns of the endowment funds by looking at alternative investment products. If the committee decides investments in these types of products are appropriate, the CMF Investment Policy will need to be revised and brought to the Board for formal approval. The enclosed Investment Report is presented in three sections. Investment Performance Report Started in December 2005, the main portion of the endowment pool has now been around long enough to include a 10 year investment return. 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 Class S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 REIT International Equities Short Bond Bond High Yield Bond Fund Cash Allocation 37% 9% 6% 5% 13% 12.5% 12.5% 5% 0% �Investment Report Page 3 The Lipper returns are based on the following asset classes. Lipper Large Cap Core Lipper Mid Cap Core Lipper Small Cap Core Lipper Real Estate Equity Lipper International Lipper Corporate Debt A Rated Fixed Income Asset Allocation Report The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that instructs CMF's Vice President Finance/Administration to rebalance the endowment fund portfolio on a quarterly basis. Investment Performance Comparison Report In addition to the Lipper returns and the Cambridge & 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 Investm ent Report by one quarter is due to the time it takes Cambridge to collect the results from the pool participants.

On May 19,2006 the CMF Audit & Finance Committee will meet to review the March 31, 2006 Audit Report. We are pleased to report that CMF has received an unqualified opinion and no management letter comments were issued. Differences between Internal Statements and Audited Statements Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for additional dues and The Skillman Foundation to support the Detroit office, we will have a ditle rence between the internal and audited statements for CMF Core Operations until both of these grants come to an end. The accounting rules require us to book the entire grant amount as revenue in the year the grant commitment was made even though the revenue supports future year activities.

Investments The increase from the prior year is primarily due to market gains and rebalancing the cash portion of the endowment funds into equities and fixed income products. Net Assets- Undesignated The decrease from the prior year is due to the disbursement of interest eamings on the Kellogg KYIP grant dollars which are classified as unrestricted. Net Assets- Board Designated- Community Foundation Endowment Fund The increase from the prior year is due to investment eamings in 2005-06.

Reitz Endowment For Investment Education Leaming to Give Endowment Fund $400,000 50,000 3,000,000 Combined Statement of Activities Member Contributions The increase from the prior year is due to the five year $750,000 general operating support grant received from the W.K.

Peters, Chair, Audit Comm ittee RE: CMF 3-31-06 Core Operations Internal Financial Statements RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the March 31, 2006, CMF Core Operations & Endowment Funds Internal State of Activities, as recommended by the CMF Audit and Finance Committee. Differences between Internal Statements and Audited Statements Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from the W .K. Kellogg Foundation for additional dues and The Skillman Foundation to support the Detroit office, we will have a difference between the internal and audited statements for CMF Core Operations until both of these grants come to an end.

The main item that should be noted in the attached Core Operations statement is the fact that we have ended the year with a surplus of $204,000. It should be noted with the major support from the Kellogg Foundation ending in 2005-06 the dues increase implemented in 2004-05 anticipated a surplus in 2005-06 to make up for the short fall anticipated in 2006-07. �Intemal Financial Statements May 17,2006 Page 2 Combined Statements of Financial Position Note 1: Member Contributions For 2005-06 we ended the year at $916,740 vs. the $921,000 projected for the CMF Board at the last board meeting. For 2006-07 we have budgeted dues at $944,000. The current year amount includes $29,000 in unpaid dues from 2005-06, which are expected to be collected in the coming year. Note 2: Investment Income Income has exceeded budget due to the rising interest rates (1.3% 2004 vs. 4.5% 3-3 1-06) and earnings on special projects funds- primarily the Joyce Early Childhood, IDA and Technology grants. Note 3: Wages The favorable variance is due to the following: MSHDA Support Not Budgeted Admin Fees Aspen/Mott Better Together Communications Assistant departure in April2005 Wages to Tobacco Settlement Grant $9,430 10,000 34,600 16,138 Note 4: Phone The variance from budget is due to an upgrade to the voice mail system in Grand Haven for $6,570 and the phone and voice mail system purchased for the new Detroit office ($1,166). Note 5: Technology The variance from budget is primarily in the following areas. Software upgrades Microsoft and iMIS PC's Support iMIS, MIP & SEMI office Web site support, hosting & Data on Call CMF News service (16,800) (4,300) (8,700) (10,900) (5,000) The positive variance in the technology budget is due to the following: �Intemal Financial Statements May 17, 2006 Page 3 • • • • capitalized on special offerings from hardware suppliers, resulting in a much lower cost to replace hardware for the organization savings attributed to new source of network engineer support (ITP) and monthly contract (flat-fee), in conjunction with handling more technical matters in-house planned-for support on various software products less than anticipated website upgrades being implemented through CMF's participation in the Forum KM Initiative, at substantial savings to CMF (and not charged to core technology budget) Reduction in technology costs has allowed us to replace hardware organization-wide and purchase an upgraded phone system, for which we had not even budgeted. Note 6: Communications/Publications The variance from budget is due to the following items: Misc. consulting not used Editorial Consultant expenses less than budget Foundation Center fees for Directory work less than budget Guide to Administering Scholarship delayed until 2006-07 $2,500 2,600 2,200 5,000 Note 7: Professional Services The variance is the result of negotiating a reduced fee with Public Affairs Associates (PAA) for their monthly retainer.

Advancing giving. May 17,2006 Memo to: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, Vicki Rosenberg, Dave Lindberg Re: Update on Cultural Competency Initiative cc: Barbara Rapaport, Real-time Perspectives, Inc. At the March Board Meeting we shared in the President's Report that Barbara Rapaport has been retained to aid us with the Cultural Competency Initiative. We selected Barbara both on the strong recommendation of Bob Tobin from The Williams Group and from our appreciation of her methodology that would first start with a thorough internal assessment, using surveys, one on one interviews and workshops, of the whole staff including the management team. Her initial internal tasks are now completed from the assessment and have yielded the following useful and compelling insights. 1. CMF' s leadership team and staff are aligned in their view of the importance of establishing organizational goals and priorities based on the needs of members. There is tremendous pride in CMF being seen as leading edge in the areas of member services and advocacy as well as a strong desire to maintain this innovative "market" position in the future. 2. However, a gap exists between the leadership team's perspective and the staffs perspective on what constitutes effective collaboration internally at CMF. The source ofthis gap appears to be an unintended outcome ofCMF's external focus- a belief on the part of staff that in an effort to meet and exceed member expectations, focus on some internal requirements may have been lost. This gap was defined in terms of the need for: (a) improved internal communications, specifically more widespread information sharing; (b) new approaches to shared decision-making; (c) more effective management of priorities; and (d) specific and innovative approaches to mentoring and career development. These findings have been openly shared with CMF staff. As a group we have decided to create two task teams led by staff: one to work on short tenn communication issues such as restructuring staff meetings, developing an orientation for new hires, and better sharing information with all staff from directors meetings. The second Task Team will be looking at career development issues, such as placing staff with members for job shadowing experiences, and reviewing the performance evaluation process. In addition, we have asked Barbara to submit a proposal to work with the management team on coaching skills and how we can more effectively manage the day to day activities of the main office. Specifically we hope to: �Cultural Competency Initiative May 17, 2006 Page 2 1. Redesign the organizational structure to increase overall performance. 2. Refine performance review and reward systems to increase staff effectiveness and satisfaction. 3. Improve their individual and collective competencies relative to mentoring of staff and day-to-day implementation of strategic priorities. This internal assessment and the related activities that we undertake will aid CMF in better serving our members while more effectively deploying our staff resources- the most important investment this organization has. At the same time, Barbara has started the external assessment with a stakeholder focus group of members held on March 31. This group included CMF Trustees Libby Cherin and Gerald Smith and a cross-section of members who provided such valuable input, that a decision was made to conduct two additional input sessions in June 2006. The consensus from this focus group and internal assessment is that the Board needs to provide "explicit and concrete affirmation that cultural competency is a priority- truly front and center- no matter what other urgencies may seek to detract from it." The feedback gleaned from these additional sessions will inform the development of a formal cultural competency strategy. This strategy w ill be on the agenda for review and approval at the Board of Trustees October 2006 meeting. To respond to the first focus group and to demonstrate CMF's commitment to embracing cultural competency, the 2006 Annual Conference Committee, as reflected in their report, has already begun to filter all key decisions through a screen aimed at increasing cultural competency awareness and sensitivity. During the summer months, Barbara will also work with staff on: • an internal audit of: internal and external communications; personnel policies and practices; and program policies, procedures and practices, and • initial training designed to: (a) increase staffs awareness and understanding of cultural competency; and (b) provide opportunities to practice new behaviors aligned with the outcomes of the cultural competency initiative. In addition she will prepare a case study for use at the Annual Conference about CMF's experience in transitioning to a more culturally competent organization. The purpose of the case study is to help others learn from and possibly move their organization forward based on CMF's experiences. In sum, we are pleased with the progress to date. Our experiences thus far confirm that the goals of the Initiative, first formed in 2002, remain relevant - to model and promote diversity and inclusion, to create an environment of respect for all, to understand and value the range of perspectives represented by CMF members, to seek out and serve a diverse and inclusive membership, and to encourage all of CMF's stakeholders to develop their own commitment to diversity and inclusion for the future of philanthropy in Michigan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
