Memo to:

Members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation

From:

S. Martin Taylor, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees
Council ofMichigan Foundations

Re:

Position on January 27,2005 Report from the Joint Committee on
Taxation on Options to Improve Tax Compliance and Reform
Expenditures for Exempt Organizations

Section VIII of the Joint Committee on Taxation Report issued January 27, 2005 includes 12
recommendations for options to improve tax compliance of exempt organizations. The Council of
Michigan Foundations is joining our national partners in a thorough review of these recommendations.
However, the Board of Trustees passed a resolution at its meeting of March 3, 2005 to oppose Options
A, F, G and H as described below.
Option A. Require Five-Year Review of Exempt Status of Public Charities and Private
Foundations.
This option requires that every five (5) years §501(c) (3) organizations (except Houses of Worship),
must file with the Secretary information on whether it continues to be organized and operated

exclusively for exempt purposes. This filing must be done electronically and made publicly available.
Failure to file would result in loss of tax-exempt status. Raises: Less than $50 million
Summary of Rationale for Opposition
1. The infonnation in a five year review is already provided in the annual 990 and 990PF filing.
2. This would require additional expense by nonprofits and foundations to complete the reporting
requirement - thus taking limited funds away from their intended charitable uses.
3. The IRS does not have the capacity to fulfill its current oversight responsibilities of Exempt
Organizations. The proposed $50 million in revenue would be consumed by the added
administrative costs
Option F. Modify Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Conservation and Facade
Easements.
This option would eliminate the charitable contribution deduction with respect to far;:ade and
conservation easements relating to personal residence properties, substantially reduces the deduction for
all other qualified conservation contributions, and imposes new standards on appraisals and appraisers
regarding the valuation of such contributions. Raises: $1 billion
Summary of Rationale for Opposition
1. The conservation easement has played a major role in recent land preservation projects in Metro
Detroit, West Michigan, Northern Lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.
2. The law currently provides for adequate valuation requirements.

�3. The proposed changes would adversely impact historic preservation efforts on main street
projects statewide as well as the abilities of the land conservancies to keep preserved property in
private ownership.
Option G. Limit Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Clothing and Household Items.
This option would limit the amount that taxpayers may deduct for contributions of
clothing and household items to $500. Raises: $1.9 billion
Summary of Rationale for Opposition
1. Many donors will be discouraged from making the effort to donate to charitable re-sale
operations, and land fills will be the ultimate beneficiaries.
2. Appraisal requirements for donations valued in excess of $5,000 would be more effective in
curbing the problem of excessive valuations by donors.
3. The sustainability of many faith-base charitable organizations would be adversely impacted by
this option.
Option H. Reform Rules for Charitable Contributions of Property.
This proposal contains various options and concepts to limit deductions on donations of
property, generally to the lesser of basis or fair market value. They do not apply to
publicly traded securities and certain other property already addressed in previous
legislation, i.e., intellectual property and vehicles. Suggestions for enhanced appraiser
accountability, limiting the deduction to the disposition amount, and eliminating
deductions for property altogether are also included. Raises: $2.5 billion
Summary of Rationale for Opposition
1. The number of gifts of real estate to community foundation throughout Michigan continues to
grow as part of the intergenerational transfer of wealth now underway.
2. Real estate is the largest asset classification and thus gifts should be encouraged with appropriate
requirements on independent appraisals.
3. At a time when government suppott is being reduced for needed local programs and services,
local communities need access to major sources of charitable gifts - real estate being a key.

�Finance Committee Democratic Staff
Summary of Joint Committee on Taxation Report on Options to
Improve Tax Compliance and Reform Expenditures
January 27, 2005
(Costs are over 10-year window)

VIII. EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS
A. Require Five-Year Review of Exempt Status of Public Charities and Private
Foundations and Annual Notice by Organizations Not Required to File Information
Returns (sec. 508). The proposal require that every five (5) years §50l (c)(3)
organizations (except Houses of Worship), must file with the Secretary information on
whether it continues to be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes. This
filing must be done electronically and made publicly available. Failure to file would
result in loss of tax-exempt status. Raises: Less than $50 million
B. Impose Termination Tax on Conversions of Assets of Charities (sec. 501,507,
4941, and 4958). The proposal applies to public charities and to private foundations, and
thus eliminates the present- law aggregate tax benefit limit contained in §507. In the case
of private foundations, the proposed tennination tax applies to voluntary or involuntary
tenninations, as well as to conversion liquidation transactions. The proposed termination
tax also applies to a public charity if there have been either willful repeated acts or
failures to act that give rise to liability for Chapter 42 taxes, which includes§§ 4955 and
4958. In order to assure that fair consideration is paid in conversion transactions, the
proposal extends the §4958 excess benefit transaction tax rules (in case of public charity)
or §4941 self-dealing rules (in case of a private foundation) to an acquirer of the charity's
assets in a conversion or liquidation transaction, if persons who are disqualified persons
of the charitable organization are in a position to exercise substantial influence over the
affairs of the acquirer at the time of or after the transaction. No Revenue Effect
C. Tax Involvement by Exempt Organizations in Tax-Shelter Transactions (sees.
6011 and 6707A). The proposal requires disclosure by tax exempt entities (often
accommodating parties) to the IRS of participation in a "prohibited tax shelter
transaction" and disclosure of other known parties if it is a reportable transaction.
Prohibited transactions include only certain reportable transactions. New penalties at
both the entity level and the entity manager level are included in the proposal, and the
deductibility of contributions to the entity may be suspended for one year. Existing
disclosure penalties also apply. Raises: $500 million

D. Reform Intermediate Sanctions and Extend Certain Reforms to Private
Foundations (sees. 4941 and 4958). Proposal eliminates rebuttable presumption and
establishes due diligence procedures that apply to public charities and private
foundations. If an initial tax is imposed on a disqualified person under the intermediate
sanctions rules or on a self-dealer under the self-dealing rules, the organization is subject
to an excise tax equal to 10% of the excess benefit in the case of a public charity or a
social welfare organization, or 2.5% of the amount involved in the case of a private
foundation. Raises: $200 million

�E. Increase the Amount of Excise Taxes Imposed on Public Charities, Social
Welfare Organizations, and Private Foundations (sees. 4941,4942, 4943, 4944, 4945,
and 4958). For acts of self-dealing other than the payment of compensation by a private
foundation to a disqualified person, the initial tax on the self dealer goes from 5% to l 0%
of the amount involved. For acts of self-dea ling regarding the payment of compensation
by a private foundation to a disqualified person, the initial tax on the self-dealer goes
from 5% to 25% of amount involved with 15% of which is subject to abatement. It
increases the initial tax on foundation managers from 2.5% to 5% of the amount involved
and increases the dollar limitation on the amount of the initial and additional taxes on
foundation managers per act of self-dealing from $10,000 per act to $20,000 per act, and
doubles the dollar limitation on organization managers of public charities and social
welfare organizations for participation in excess benefit transactions from $10,000per
transaction to $20,000 per transaction. Raises: Less than $50 million
F. Modify Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Conservation and Fa~ade
Easements (sec. 170). The proposal eliminates the charitable contribution deduction
with respect to far;ade and conservation easements relating to personal residence
properties, substantially reduces the deduction fo r all other qualified conservation
contributions, and imposes new standards on appraisals and appraisers regarding the
valuation of such contributions. Raises: $1 billion
G. Limit Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Clothing and Household Items
(sec. 170). The proposal limits the amount that taxpayers may deduct for contributions of
clothing and household items to $500. Raises: $ 1.9 billion
H. Reform Rules for Charitable Contributions of Property (sec. 170). Option One:
This proposal contains various options and concepts to limit deductions on donations of
property, generally to the lesser of basis or fair market value. They do not apply to
publicly traded securities and certain other property already addressed in previous
legislation, i.e., intellectual property and vehicles. Suggestions for enhanced appraiser
accountability, limiting the deduction to the disposition amount, and eliminating
deductions for property altogether are also included. Raises: $2.5 billion
I. Require Public Disclosure of Form 990-T and Related Certification
Requirements (sees. 6104 and 6685). The proposal extends the present- law public
inspection and disclosure requirements and penalties applicable to the Form 990 to an
organization 's Form 990-T. Organizations that normally have annual total gross
revenues or gross assets of at least $10 million must include with its Forms 990 and 990T
filings a certification by an independent auditor or by an independent counsel. Raises:
Less than $50 million
J. Expand the Base of the Tax on Private Foundation Net Investment Income.
Proposal amends the definition of gross investment income to include income from
notional principal contracts, annuities, and other substantially similar income from
ordinary and routine investments. Carrybacks of losses from sales or other dispositions
of property are not included. Raises: $200 million

�K. Limit Tax-Exempt Status of Fraternal Beneficiary Societies that Provide

Commercial-Type Insurance (sec. 501 (c)(8)). A fraternal beneficiary society, order, or
association is exempt from tax as an organization described in section 501 (c )(8) only if
no substantial part of its activities consists of providing commercial-type insurance. In
the case of an organization that is exempt from tax under the proposal, it is taxed under
the rules relating to insurance companies rather than under the unrelated business income
tax rules generally applicable to exempt organizations. Raises: $500 million
L. Established Additional Exemption Standards for Credit Counseling
Organizations (sec. 501). Under the proposal, a nonprofit credit counseling agency or
other nonprofit organization that provides credit counseling, debt management, and
similar services, is eligible for exemption from income tax only as a charitable or
educational organization under section 50l(c)(4). It also provides additional
requirements that must be satisfied by a credit counseling organization in order to be an
organization described in section 50l (c)(3) or (c)(4), and the requirements supplement,
rather than replace the present law requirements. Raises: $100 million

Government Relations Committee
Committee Co-Chair Libby Maynard presented the Government Relations Report. Ms Maynard
reviewed the revised Legislative Goals Statement, a copy of which is attached, noting changes to
Goals 9, 15 and 16.
Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the Legislative Goals Statement, a copy of which is attached, be
approved with the 2004 updates noted in bold.
Ms. Maynard presented a recommended position on the State Budget Crisis, requested by the Board
at the Jw1e 2004 Board Meeting after discussing the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA)
document, Socially and Fiscally Responsible Solutions to the State Fiscal Crisis- Recommendations
to the State Policymakers. She noted that the Board did not take a position on the MNA document
because one of the recommendations was to decouple the Michigan Estate Tax from the Federal
Estate Tax, a step that contradicts an existing CMF Legislative Goal.

Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations supports bipartisan efforts to
seek long term fiscally responsible solutions, including but not limited to restructuring
the state' s tax structure, that will provide sufficient government funding to services
critical for the quality of life expected and deserved by all residents.
Ms. Maynard shared the Committee's initial response to the 19-page Senate Discussion Paper. She
noted the National Panel being formed by Independent Sector will include Michigan members - B ill
R ichardson, Bill White, Dottie Johnson and Sam Singh and have a preliminary report in February
with a final report in June. However, she noted that the Committee feels it is important that Senators
Levin and Stabenow be infonned now of CMF's positions on the issues as noted in the
recommended resolution.

RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations supports recommendations in
the Senate Finance Committee discussion paper to improve the Forms 990 and 990-PF
and to allow for the sharing of information between federal and state regulators, and
further opposes recommendations in the paper to impose new fees on the nonprofit
sector and to change the treatment of administrative expenses.
Learning to Give
National Steering Committee Chair Russ Mawby updated the Board on the progress of Learning to
Give (LTG). Kathy Agard, Executive Director, noted LTG will now be seen on factoids/ads in Jack
Loeks Theaters prior to the showing ofiMAX films because LTG has developed teacher lesson
plans on IMAX films. Ms. Agard announced the Fetzer Institute will be moving their "Generosity of
the Spirit" philanthropy materials to the LTG website soon.
Rob Collier highlighted the work of the National Steering Committee over the past several months in
exploring corporate sponsorships. He shared that consultants recommend LTG needs to have its own
identity. Because CMF has a well established system in place with its two supporting organizations,
Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures and the Michigan AIDS Fund, the Steering Committee
recommends Learning to Give become a Supporting Organization of CMF as an intennediary step.

�Board of Trustees Meeting
M inutes- November 3, 2004

Russ Mawby has agreed to serve as the Founding Honorary Chair, with Dottie Johnson and Jim
Kelly serving as Co-Chairs. Jim Kelly noted the focus is to aggressively grow LTG building on the
accomplishments in Michigan and now in Indiana.
RESOLVED that the Learning to Give Initiative become a supporting organization of
the Council of Michigan Foundations with appropriate transfer of grants and
contractual obligations as reviewed by legal counsel and approved by current funders
of the Initiative.
RESOLVED further that the following individuals be appointed as founding Trustees

VI. Updates from Supporting Organizations

A. Learning to Give
The newly appointed Learning to Give Board of D irectors has met twice since the November
Council of Michigan Foundations Board meeting in Detroit. Organizing documents have been
approved and submitted both in Michigan and with the federal government.
At the most recent meeting held on February 22, 2005, the new board reviewed, discussed and
approved the 2005-2006 Plan of Work and Budget. The Plan of Work for Learning to Give for
this fiscal year includes three major goals and their related tasks:

1.

Creating new K-12 Philanthropy Education Curricular Products
This goal completes the work promised in our current grants from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, Lilly Endowment, Corporate for National and Community Service,
Fetzer Institute, and the McGregor Fund.

2.

Developing Selected Pa rtnerships to Support K-12 Philanthropy Education in
Targeted States
This goal completes the work in extending LTG through Grand Valley State
University and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University (LTG-Michigan, and
LTG-Indiana). In addition, efforts will be made this year to take LTG to at least one
additional state.

3.

Sustain K-12 Philanthropy E ducation
This goal includes the development of the new supporting organization for Learning
to Give and the continued exploration of strategies for the long-tem1 sustainability
and growth of philanthropy education.

The LTG Board agreed that there are two primary priorities under goal three: to pursue national
corporate sponsorship; and a potential merger opportunity with a new group called "Community
League". We expect significant activity on both priorities this spring and look forward to a fu ll
briefing at the CMF June Board Meeting. In addition, the Lilly Endowment has invited
submission of a $1.5 million proposal for the three years starting January 1, 2006. The next LTG
Board meeting is scheduled as a conference call on June 7, 2005.
CMF Board members are encouraged to visit the new rooms on the web-site (leamingtogive.org)
that extend the philanthropy education resources to Parents, Youth Workers, and Religious
Instructors. Included in the back pocket are: LTG at a Glance, an article from Grand Valley State
University and a one pager on LTG at the area IMAX Theaters.

B. Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures
The "Community Foundation R &amp; D Incubator" supported by the Mott Foundation has
already begun research for the next portfolio of marketing and communication tools to be
released this Fall at the COF Community Foundation conference in Seattle through the National
Marketing Action Team (NMAT).
The "Regional Marketing Initiative" continues with three states, Iowa, South Carolina and
Maryland planning collective marketing campaigns in their regions utilizing the NMAT
marketing tools. A renewal grant application has been submitted to the Mott Foundation for the
period starting April 1, 2005.
Aspen Institute' s Nonprofit Sector Research Fund and the CS Mott Foundation have
supported a research project "Together is Better", examining the effects of regional collaboration
among small community foundations on their operations, marketing and financial sustainability.
This research project is a joint effort ofMCFV, Blueprint Research &amp; Design, Inc., Public Policy
Associates, and Williams Group, and will include 5 case studies on collaboration- two from
Michigan. More than a 40% response rate was received to the national survey, exceeding
expectations. The final report is being drafted for an April 15 release.
"Making a Difference: A community impact series," a four session Michigan curriculum on
opportunities for community foundations to better define and collect meaningful outcomes and
performance measures with grantees has been repurposed as a self-directed web based product
will be made available to the nation later this spring via the Council on Foundation's Center for
Community Foundation Excellence, thanks to funding from the Mott Foundation.
CompassPoint Nonprofit Services in San Francisco with MCFV in an advisory role has
received $40,000 in grants to conduct a national research study on the status of relations between
Community Foundations and U nited Ways in rural communities, mid-size cities and large urban
metropolitan areas. The report will be presented at the COF Fall Conununity Foundation
Conference in Seattle.
C. Michigan AIDS Fund
In November, the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) was in the midst of a major organizational
assessment with the counsel of the Management Assistance Group (MAG) consulting firm in
Washington, DC. After a rigorous review and analysis, MAG presented three potential options
for the future direction of MAF. In December, the MAF Board of Tmstees adopted the option to
"transform MAF into a new entity with a broader vision that includes both a role as funder and a
role advocating for sound and compassionate public policy regarding HIVI AIDS."
To that end, the Board adopted MAF's new mission:
"To prevent the spread of HIVI AIDS in Michigan by increasing knowledge and
awareness of the HIVIAIDS epidemic, and to raise and invest public and private funds to
effectively prevent the disease."

�President's Report
February 23, 2005
Page 8

While this means re-dedicating the organization to its role as a funder, it is with a singular focus
on preventing H IV/AIDS in Michigan. Our Transition Committee and the Alford Group have
been working to develop a detailed plan, a sound budget, and practical steps for implementation.
The new plan requires development of new grant making guidelines, a much greater emphasis
and investment in fund development, and a re-alignment of the MAF Board around our new
objectives.
As we enter the third decade of the disease, the H IVI AIDS epidemic has changed and MAF is
changing to meet the needs ofthose most affected. CMF has been a vital partner with MAF
since our found ing in 1989 and we look forward to working together in the fight against
HIV/AIDS.

Re:

2005-06 Plan of Work

cc:

Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President and COO
David Lindberg, Vice President Finance &amp; Administration

I am pleased to enclose the proposed Plan of Work for the fiscal year starting April 1, 2005 to
March 31, 2006. The Plan ofWork has been prepared under the leadership ofVicki Rosenberg,
Chief Operating Officer, with significant input by all Program Directors, Dave Lindberg and me.
At the March 3'd Board Meeting, Vicki will lead the presentation that will include highlights of
activities this year in Serving Grantmakers, Advancing Giving as well as new activities in the
proposed Plan ofWork.

RESOLVED: That the Plan of Work for 2005-06, as recommended by the Executive
Committee, be approved.
Background
I would like to draw your attention to two key developments in the proposed Plan of Work:
• metrics have now been developed for each objective in the Plan.
The Metric is listed under the objective in the first column on the left. For the past three years
we have been operating with one metric for each of the six goal statements. In an effort to
better determine the outcomes of our actions, staff feels that this is an important step in
demonstrating our accountability to both the board and the membership. The Executive
Committee supports this development.
the separate goals for membership and operations have been consolidated to a new goal:
to operate a model membership association.
The objectives for membership are continued! in the consolidated goal statement.
•

In addition, each year we present in this memo management's priorities for the new fiscal year.
1. Membership
This year we are combining the two past priorities of Membership Retention and R ecru itment
into one - Membership. With the financial shortfall we are facing in 2006-07, it is vital that we
examine all revenue sources, and membership is a vital source - both in terms of dues from
exiting members and potential members. This may be the year to consider expanding
membership categories to include those categories of public charities that are grantmakers we
presently do not serve- such as hospital foundations and K-12 foundations. Other activities this

Febmary 23 , 2005
Page 2

year may include: restructuring the membership committee, new forms of membership for fami ly
foundations and continued targeted asks to the list of 83.
2. Coordinated Marketing of Educational Opportunities
While accountability continues to be a primary message, we have realized that it is one of the
critical elements to effective philanthropy. Therefore in the proposed Plan of Work "Effective
Grantmaking/Philanthropy" is going to be at the core of our many educational opportunities in
2005.
3. A Helpful Regulatory Environment for Philanthropy
This priority continues to consume about 25% of my time. CMF is considered a leadership
organization in the country with our experience and track record. We look forward to working
with Ellen Barclay the new President of the Forum of 30 regional associations of grantmakers in
implementing the accountability and effectiveness project, I have helped to develop. This will
help CMF especially with our enhanced commun ications plan. I serve on one of the five work
groups for the National Panel convened by Independent Sector as well as on the IS Public Policy
Committee.
4. Strengthening our Internal Infrastructure
This will be the final year of our five year strategic plan as well as the fi nal year of our three year
technology plan. Much has been accomplished but more needs to be done. We look forward to
summarizing the results and next steps at our fall Board meeting. The Communications Plan to
be discussed at the March 3'd Board M eeting will get us started.
These four priorities have been discussed with staff, and we look forward to discussing them
with you. Finally, I have enclosed an organizational chart that details the complexity of CMF.

Forty-eight (48) grantmakers have yet to renew. Twe nty (20) did not pay their 2003 dues, and senior
management is working to determine those we should drop from membership. Reminder letters were
sent to 81 grantmakers in mid-September, resulting in 53 renewals to date.

DISCUSSION ITEM- Guiding Principles as a Condition of Membership
Beginning in 2004 as a part of the renewal process, members were asked to subscribe, for the first time,
to the Guiding Principles of the Council ofMichigan Foundations. The renewal invoice form includes a
box where the member main contact signs and dates their acceptance of the Principles. Renewal thank
you letters reiterated the importance of these principles and m embers not signing were afforded the
opportunity via their thank you to sign on. To date, twenty-nine members have not done so. Staff looks
forward to the guidance of the Board in how to address this issue of non-signing.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Philip H. Peters, Audit &amp; Finance Committee Member
Dav id R. Lindberg

RE:

CMF 12-31-04 Financial Statements

Resolved that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the 12-31-04 Financial Statements as
recommended by the CMF Audit &amp; Finance and Executive Committees.
On February 16, 2005, the CMF Audit &amp; Finance and Executive Committees reviewed and
approved the 12-3 1-04 Financial Report. Of special note is the fact that the CMF Core
Operations is projected to earn a surplus of $52,800.

Core Operations
Note 1: Member Contributions
Overall the dues increase instituted April I, 2004 has exceeded our expectations with the lost
revenue due to members canceling running below budget. As of early February 2005 we had
52 unpaid members with the anticipation that 16 will renew before 3-31-05. This will leave
36 members that we anticipate will not renew, primarily from the smaller fami ly foundation
group.
Note 2: Conference &amp; Meetings
As of December 61h registration figures for the Annual Conference were:

Full Registrations
Partial Registrations
Speakers etc.

Based on our latest proj ections it appears the Annual Conference will generate a surplus of
roughly $61,000, thanks to Rob's negotiation with the Hyatt in Dearborn to waive the
$35,000 penalty they originally billed us for the shortfall in the overnight room counts. In
exchange for waiving this penalty CMF needs to go back to the Hyatt in the fall of2007.

�Expenses
Note 3: Wages &amp; Benefits
The variance from budget is due to the unemployment compensation accrual that was set up
to cover possible claims down the road, per the policy approved by this committee in October
2004.

Note 4: Technology/Computers
The favorable variance is due to the iMIS version 10 upgrade, which came as part of the
annual maintenance fees we pay.

Note 5: P ublications &amp; Print ing
The projected variance from budget is due to the follow ing items.
Benefits Postcard
Communications Consultant Travel expenses
Directory Advertising
Family Philanthropist
Member Benefits Brochure
Mich Grantmaking Scene &amp; Memo reduced

$4,000
3,000
4,500

Note 6: Professional Services
The variance from budget is primarily due to legal expenses which we anticipate will end the
year under budget.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Herbert (Ted) D. Doan, Investment Committee Member

Re:

December 31, 2004, Investment Report

RESOLVED that the December 31, 2004, Investment Report, as reviewed by the
Investment Committee, be accepted.
On February 23, 2005, the Investment Committee met to review and approve the
enclosed report.
On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the
Michigan AIDS Fund (MAP), meets to review the investment perfonnance for the
operating and pennanent endowment funds.

Recent Issues Addressed by the Investment Committee:
KYIP Investments
CMF is currently holding $10,401,572 received from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for
the purpose of supporting pennanent endowment funds for three Kellogg Youth Initiative
Pmtnership sites. With a distribution plan formally accepted by the three sites the
Investment Committee has moved these funds from equities and fixed income securities
to money market instruments m1d U.S. Treasuries. To date $2,550,000 in grants has been
disbursed to the three sites and based on the matching requirement in place distributions
are anticipated to last through 2009.
Pooling of Investment of CMF Endowment Funds
Using a new software package which provides for the allocation of investment income
from a pooled investment account to separate endowment funds, staff has completed the
consolidation of the eight endowment funds into one pooled investment account each at
Comerica and Bank One (vs. 16 accounts in the past). This process significantly reduces
the administrative time to rebalance the investments and book the monthly investment
income to the various endowment funds.

S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2004-05\3.3.05 Meeting Materials\Investment Memo.doc

�The enclosed Investment Report is presented in three sections.

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

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 F ixed Income

Asset Allocation Report
The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that
instructs CMF's Vice President of Finance to rebalance the endowment fund portfolios
on a quarterly basis.
To keep administrative time to a minimum CMF maintains one checking account to pay
all endowment fund expenses. The negative cash balances are the result of endowment
fund expenditures from the CMF checking account, which are periodically reimbursed,
by transferring cash from the endowment funds to the CMF general checking account

Investment Performance Comparison Report
In addition to the Lipper returns, the Investment Committee uses the Cambridge &amp;
Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations as a benchmark
comparison. With the pooling of the investments starting October 1, 2004, this is the last
quarter in which the individual endowment funds will be listed on this report.

Background
In the fall of2003, CMF began a process to assess and develop strategies for improving
communications. Our goal is to use communications more effectively to advance the
achievement ofCMF' s mission, vision and objectives.
Informed by the 2002 Strategic Plan/2004 Member Survey we completed by June of2004:
• Analysis of existing communications
• Creation of new Communications Team
• Introduction of branding system (user manual, 2003 conference marketing &amp; participant
materials, annual report)
• Launch of redesigned website
• Introduction of original news stories (News Wire) and
• Initiation of market research.
Since June of2004 we have focused on:
• Continued implementation of the branding system (stationary, publications and brochures)
• Research of target audiences as noted below
• Review and refmement of core messages as noted below
• Improvements to marketing strategies
• Identification of operational requirements
Market research involving nearly 600 individuals included:
Detailed data is available upon request.
•

•
•
•

Interviews of over 350 member trustees, executives and staff; 43 editors and reporters from
39 newspapers; 16 station managers and on-air reporters for major television stations; 24
station managers and on-air reporters for major radio stations; 16 legislators and legislative
staff members
An electronic survey of 133 members
Focus groups in Detroit and Grand Rapids involving 22 members
Web trends collected on a monthly basis.

Significant findings are as follows:
•
•

•

Media want quick, on-demand access to news sources, data, story ideas, contacts, and
spokespersons.
Legislators want quick, on-demand access to information about member activities such as
grants, projects and research.
Members hear from CMF at least monthly and value our communications as indicated by the
following data. They increasingly prefer electronic delivery.

•

93% of member main contacts (325 of389) receive NewsWire and 80% receive E-News
(some opted out or are currently being spammed out). Only 7% of member main contacts
receive no electronic or fax communication from CMF. These are primarily unstaffed
family foundations that asked not to receive email or fax at home.

E-news has a higher than average open and click-through rates
The Newsroom on www.cmif.org has been the most visited area over a nine-month
period during which the number of visitors increased 150% (from 1,462 to 4,947)
Members value and use the website as indicated by member surveys and by a 100%
increase in v isitors and 50% increase in new visitors between 4/04 and 1/05
On surveys and in interviews and focus groups, members indicated several preferences to
improve the value of CMF communications. Those with a critical mass of support are
included in the recommendations on page 3.

Core Messages
CMF has several core messages it uses across consistently, for example, - the year's best
education and networking event for staffand trustees ofMichigan foundations -- was used in
2003 and 2004 annual conference marketing materials. In Phase II, CMF:
• drafted core messages for major FY05 initiatives
• determined that the Value Statements need to be used more effectively and frequently
• refined the wording of Purpose Statements to improve their usefulness as core messages.
Core messages CMF uses consistently are:
Identity:

a statewide membership association of over 400 foundations and
corporate grantmakers making grants for charitable purposes.

Mission:
Vision:
Values:
Pwposes:

to increase, enhance and improve philanthropy in Michigan.

to be the premier philanthrophic support organization.
Relationships, Inclusivity, Servant-Leadership, Knowledge, Excellence
(simplified and started by key word)
• Advocate for a legislative and regulatory environment conducive to
philanthropy.
• Educate foundation staff and trustees about effective practice.
• Increase organized philanthropy in Michigan.
• Lead and support collaborative philanthropic responses to critical needs.
• Network Michigan grantmakers with each other and with grantseekers.
• Promote public understanding of and appreciation for the role of philanthropy.
• Operate a model membership association.

Operational Requirements
In FY05, CMF will continue strengthening its internal capacity through:
1. Improving quality control systems for its database of members/others.
2. Improving systems for obtaining member input and tracking member use and satisfaction.
The FY05 Plan of Work proposes:
• creating an Editorial Advisory Group

�Communications Plan
Fe bruary 23, 2005
Page 4

•
•

creating a list serve of member communications officers to facilitate the exchanges of
ideas, requests for submissions and submission forms, guest articles, etc.
conducting the Biennial Member Satisfaction Survey in the 41h quarter

3. Training staff to improve the accuracy and speed of responses to routine member inquiries.
The CMF Communications Team includes Vicki Rosenberg, COO; Mike Gallagher, editorial
consultant; Kathy Ginocchio, Director of Technology and former web master; and Gail FowersSchaub, Director of Knowledge Resources and Services. Bob Tobin, of Williams Group, and
Amber Khan, of The Communications Network (in philanthropy) provided important advice.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Philip H. Peters, Audit &amp; Finance Committee Member
David R. Lindberg

RE:

CMF 2005-06 Budget

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the 2005-06 Budget as
recommended by the CMF Audit &amp; Finance and Executive Committees.

On February 16, 2005, the CMF Audit &amp; Finance and Executive Committees reviewed and
approved the attached 2005-06 budget.
Issues to note:

Fiscal Year 2005-06
For our upcoming fiscal year 2005-06, the overall budget is fairly routine with no funding
issues to report at this time.
Fiscal Year 2006-07
2005-06 is the final year of special grant funding for technical support to community
foundations. With the end of this grant the Community Foundation Endowment Fund will be
used to subsidize the ongoing assistance in this area. In keeping with our 5% spending policy
for endowment funds this fund will generate $291 ,000 in spendable income versus projected
expenses of $525,000.

Core Services
Revenue
Note 1: Member Contributions
Overall the dues increase that was instituted on April 1, 2004, has been well received by the
membership. With the S&amp;P 500 being up 8.99% for the year ending 12-31-04, we expect
dues for 2005-06 to remain relatively constant.

S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2004-05\3.3.05 Meeting Materials\Budget 3-3-05.doc

�Note 2: Additional Member Contributions
The bulk of this category includes the following anticipated major contributions.
W.K. Kellogg Foundation
C.S. Mott Foundation

$150,000
24,000

Kellogg has indicated that 2004-05 will be the final year of their general support grant of
$150,000, with future support in this area based on specific projects. CMF will be working
with Kellogg over the next six months to further clarify their expectations for this annual
support, with the expectation this amount will continue in future years.
Note 3: Conference &amp; Meetings Income &amp; Expense
Overall we anticipate revenue in this area to remain relatively constant for the coming year.
The Annual Conference scheduled for October 2005 is budgeted to generate a $50,000
surplus, which is in line with the November 2004 Conference.

Note 4: Publications Income
With the 141h Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory being released in December
2004, 2005-06 represents the off year for this publication, which is produced every two years.
This accounts for the decrease in revenue from 2004-05.

�Expenses
Note 5: Wages &amp; Benefits

Overall staffing at CMF has been cut back by .5 FTE as of9-1-04. The increase from 200405 is due to a 4% budgeted wage increase coupled by a 14% increase in the cost ofhealth
insurance.
Note 6: Postage

The increase from the prior year is due to shipping charges associated with the News service
post cards and publications promotional maibng.
Note 7: Equipment

The decrease from 2004-05 is due to the purchase of a new copier in April of2004.
Note 8: Technology

Note 9: Association Dues

The dues to the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers are based on 1% of CMF 's
core budget and thus account for $2,300 of the increase for 2005-06. $2,000 of the increase
is due to the NCCS Membership budgeted for 2005-06.

AND SUPPORT COLLABO RATIVE PHILANTHRO PIC RESPONSES TO CRITI CAL NEEDS .
CMFs efforts t o supp ort foundation partnerships around public po licy issu es is led
by the Public Policy Committee and staffed by the William C . Richardson Fellow
in Public P olicy &amp; P hilanth ropy. CMF also serves as fiscal agent for three
innovative projects.
T h e n on-partisan Office of th e Foundation Liaison to the Governor (OFL)
is generating impressive results including stronger relationships and dynamic
partnerships between the state and foundations and investments from fou n dati ons
outside of Michi gan. The OFL has helped to leverage $6 million in public-private
dollars- with $6.9 mi llion on its way- to advanc ed initiatives focused on systemic
reform of early childhood education, corrections, worlAor ce development, secondary education and oth er critical issues.
A fter six years, The Mich igan IDA (Individual Development Account) Partnership (MJDAP)- h anded its work to the
Commun ity Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM) h avi n g leveraged $7 mi llion in public and private
dollars into a state-wide n etwork of agencies that h ave h elped 7 00 working poor families rise out of poverty. It did so by
helping families complete a financial education program, achi eve match ed savings goals an d use those dollars t o make 500
first horne purchases (worth $50 million in new m ortgages}, start 100 new businesses an d pursue 130 post-secondary
degrees . For the future, MIDAP and CEDAM succeeded in getting legislati on passed that supports matche d college
savings ac counts for children of these families.
With a $ 1 ,030,000 grant from the Joyce Foundation, the Early Learning Michigan Initiative (ELMI) is working to
ensure t hat children of Michigan's low- in come fam ilies r eceive a hi gh quality pre-K education and a better start on their
future. Next year, ELMI plans to merge with Michigan's new Early Childhood Investment Corporation.

�DEAR COLLEAGUES

Welcome to the Council of Michigan Foundations' 33rd Annual Conference. We're excited to have you with us on the
spectacular Grand Traverse Bay for the year's premier education and networking event for staff and trustees of
Michigan foundations.
Our theme, Effective Grantmaking for Changing Times, speaks to the increased expectations government, the
media, nonprofits and foundation leaders have for every aspect of foundation operations from administration to
grantor-grantee relations.
The over 60 sessions, workshops, micro-workshops and other special opportunities will help you maintain or strengthen
your foundation's effectiveness. We are grateful to the many Program Committee members who designed these
opportunities. Their work was informed by the latest developments in the field as well as evaluations of the 2004
conference.
Developing the capacity to tell your foundation's story is an important and often overlooked element of effectiveness.
This year, CMF introduces its first conference exhibit, Telling Your Story, to showcase effective communication strategies
used by CMF members.
We encourage you to visit Resource Central frequently during the conference which offers an array of learning
opportunities and excellent resources. While there, please visit with each of our exhibitors, all experienced in working
with foundations.
The generosity of our many sponsors has made it possible to provide you with an outstanding conference experience.
Please join us in thanking them for their support.
Thank you for being with us.

�HONORARY CHAIRS

The A rt and Mary Schmuckal Fam ily

The Council of Michigan Foundations is honored to recognize the Art and Mary Schmuckal family of
Traverse City as Honorary Chairs of the 33rd Annual Conference.
Mary Hoffer grew up in Petoskey and was working as a bookkeeper and teller at Traverse City State Bank
when she met and married a young dairy farmer named Art Schmuckal in 1945. By 1955, Art was looking
for more activity and joined forces with George Slane to form the Slane and Schmuckal Oil Company,
continually recognized as one of the best operations in the Shell franchise and still a family business.
Throughout their 53 years of marriage, Art and Mary remained a devoted team. "What's always impressed
me about my parents is they've been in the background," notes daughter Evelyn. "Their deep belief as
Catholics is that works are important. They've been so involved in the Christian community and that has
spilled over into the general community.They have given us a strong sense of direction, and I see that in my
siblings and their children."
Marsha Smith, executive director of Rotary Charities of Traverse City comments, "The Schmuckal family
demonstrates philanthropy in the full sense of the word. They give of their time and talent, as well as
resources to improve this community that has been their life long home. Nonprofit organizations, key
to the fabric of the Grand Traverse Region, have benefited and continue to benefit from their service
and leadership."
For example, Art served as chairman of the Grand Traverse County Board of Supervisors when plans were
made to build a new county Medical Care facility adjacent to Munson Medical Center in the 1950's. The
plan represented a novel, cost-effective approach to combining hospital and county ancillary services,
such as laundry and pharmacy. This ongoing interest in medical care is shown in last year's gift to support
Munson's Emergency Room expansion -serving more than 40,000 people a year.
The Art and Mary Schmuckal Family Foundation was established following Mary's death in 1999. "It was
something that Mom wanted to do and all of us kids thought it was wonderful," says daughter Barbara.
The family continues to use one consistent benchmark for supporting a project: "Does it benefit the
community?" When the answer is yes, Schmuckal family funds are frequently committed to the cause,
often quietly and behind the scenes.
Following the legacy of their parents, Paul and Don Schmuckal and sisters Evelyn Richardson and Barbara
Benson, continue to believe "the important thing is not how much you'll get paid or what you are entitled
to, but to return back to the community what you have been blessed to have."

Everyday People Can Lead Extraordinary Lives

To celebrate its 75th Anniversary, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation
provided a grant to Worldstudio Foundation for a series of 75
World studio/Kellogg Foundation scholarships. From this group,
11 young artists were awarded internships and worked with
mentors, using traditional comic book art, to detail different
paths that philanthropy can take. The comic book also
illustrates the life of W.K. Kellogg, and how simple, kind
actions can change the world .

serve as the "lead agency" and fiduciary for this effort.
Foundation staff helped the community through "turf" issues
regarding the location of this future playground so as to best
serve the greater Kalamazoo area. Once the community

interested. Foundation representatives gave substantial help in
bringing the public and private sectors together. Discussions
continued for some time, and people with experience in these
matters were able to give very good advice. In the end, it turned

funding, so the initiative fell through. However, the exercise
provided a wealth of information which will be useful in the

Midland Area Community
Foundation

Mt. Pleasant Area
Community Foundation

Otsego County Community
Foundation

Role
Convenor for community discussions. In 1999/2000, the
Midland Area Community Foundation, with funding support
from some other local foundations, led the Midland Visioning
Project. This countywide initiative was an effort to solicit from
Midland County citizens their feelings about the county's
assets, needs, and their vision for the county ten years hence.
One of the most common criticisms was that the entrances into
the City of Midland were not welcoming - that there was no
sense of arrival or sense of place.
Based on this information, the Entranceways Initiative Task
Force (EITF) was developed in 2002. The EITF is comprised of
citizens, city planners, business leaders and local foundation
members who joined together with the central mission of
improving the appearance and function of the entranceways
into the City of Midland. Recognizing that a city’s
entranceways offer the first impression of a community for
many visitors, the EITF chose the north Eastman Avenue area
as their current area of focus. In partnership with the Midland
County Fair Board, landscape improvements were made at both
the south and north fairground entrances on Eastman Avenue.
The EITF has also installed four large copper medallions on the
US-10 overpass over Eastman Avenue. Imminent plans
include landscaping at this intersection, the relocation and
landscaping of a new Park and Ride lot, and additional
landscaping along US-10.
Spotting or anticipating problems and acting to prevent
them. MPACF convened organizations providing services to
women &amp; girls to discuss and determine the most pressing
needs of this population. The foundation then held a
community event at the local country club and invited women
to attend. Over 200 attended that evening and have committed
over $86,000 dollars to the fund. They are holding a celebration
event this November and will do so annually.
Involvement in community planning for the future. In 2000
and 2001 we held "Smart Growth" community forums. Late in
2002 we transitioned the program to the newly created
Development Authority. During 2003 we supported the "new
drive" for community planning.

partnership with a local Trust. Based on the success of the
project, the Trust sponsored training for teachers and
paraprofessionals all over Branch County. Seventy-one new
staff were trained. EBLI will be implemented around
Branch County in the fall of 2004. There is also a

The purpose of this grant is to support development of a
Muskegon County farmland and open space preservation
(FLOS) program and ordinance that will address the rapid
loss of agricultural land in the Muskegon region. In the last
twenty-five years, more than 29% of the agricultural land in
the county has been converted to non-farm uses, with only
negligible population growth during that time. Muskegon
area agricultural producers presently do not qualify for state
or federal farmland preservation program funds in the
absence of approved local ordinances or a locally
administered program.
With establishment of this program, Muskegon County will
join fourteen counties in Michigan who have begun to
address the loss of farm and croplands by developing a
Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) program. A broad
based Muskegon County Farmland and Open Space (FLOS)
Committee has met for more than a year to prepare for

Grant of most impact
Two grants to a faith-based organization for start-up,

Grant of most impact
Christmas giving project. YAC members proactively
reach out to needy families in the community and buy
food and Christmas gifts for the children.
Baby Needs Drive was a grant the YAC awarded itself to
purchase a playpen to hold baby needs items donated by
the students of Clio High School. Grant funds were also
used to provide an ice cream sundae party for the class in
the school that donated the most items. The playpen and
collected items were then donated to the Flint Crisis
Pregnancy Program to help assist teen parents in need.
The winning class happened to be a Special Education
class.
Alliance Against Violence and Abuse grant - this helped
to provide a safe area for children of abused spouses to
play.
Muskegon Community Health Project - to support the
Healthy Kids Initiative, which will teach hand-washing
and appropriate antibiotic use to students in Muskegon
County schools.
Funding was provided to help develop the Chandler Park
Playground in Onaway. (The only playground equipment
this area had was at the Elementary School for student
use only.) This playground provided unrestricted use by
more than 1,000 area children age 12 and under.
NEMYAC funds were combined with other foundation
and community resources in a major collaborative effort.
The Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan’s
Youth Initiative made a grant of $7,500 in March 2004 to
Wyandotte Public Schools to support a program for
developmentally disabled youth at the Lincoln Center,
one of three special education center programs in the
Wyandotte Public School System. The project will assist
100 students who reside and attend schools in downriver
communities. Many of the students suffer from social
isolation and are living at the poverty level. The grant
will help support the costs of activities that will enhance
the students’ quality of life and give them exposure to
local activities through connections to community
agencies. The ideas in the application were all the
students -- the parents helped write it as the students
weren't able. The school social worker was the adult
liaison on the project. Great collaborative effort!

Conference where area business owners met with
students and provided one-on-one mentorship and handson activities related to entrepreneurship.
The grant that had the most impact on the youth in the
community was the grant we issued for the creation of
two skate parks. One of the top three needs of the youth
in the 2002 needs assessment was a lack of recreational
facilities. We concentrated on that need when we helped

CASMAN Alternative Academy: TATU (Teens Against
Tobacco Use). This peer-led intervention program is an
approved model program from the American Lung
Association. Trained CASMAN students will present
prevention programs to their peers as well as area
elementary schools.
They provided funding to Child &amp; Family Services to
mentor youth with substance abuse issues.
The grant for Rose Lake Youth Camp had a great impact
this past year. The camp board requested funding for
replacement of one of their eight sleeping tents for the
campers. Six campers and their counselor share the same
tent for the week. There are six weeks of camp each
summer. The age group is seven to 13 years of age.
Boys and girls come for different "themed" programs.
The campers come from many different backgrounds financial, ethnic, country vs city, handicapped, etc.
When we arrived at camp to present their check, the
campers had a sense of pride in their new tent and would
only agree to having their picture taken if their counselor
was in the photo with them. The grant check was for less
than $ 800. The number of youth that it represents may
seem low, but the lessons learned from living, learning
and getting along for one week in a tent with other
campers can have great impact at an important age in
their lives.
We have a Youth Volunteer of the Year program put on
by the Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan that we
attend annually. Students who have been exceptional
volunteers in their community are nominated by other
nonprofits that they have helped throughout the year. Our
YAC and Berrien Community Foundation’s YAC are
responsible for looking at the student nominations
submitted by the nonprofits and deciding who we feel is
the most productive volunteer in our community. After
we choose this student, they may choose a nonprofit of
their choice and we will give this group a grant as well as
granting the Volunteer Center funds to pay for the
nominees lunches at this event.

high schools that participated, involving 5,663 students.
Each school had a committee that planned and executed
activities for the day/week. We provided YR Help cards
and t-shirts for ten committee members; up to $500 was
allotted per school to facilitate the planned activities.
These activities included planting daffodil bulbs in a
school yard; candy kisses w/inspirational messages
attached for each student in school; donut holes as
students entered school in the morning (got kids talking
about the week and why they were getting treats!);
posters; and inspirational stories and announcements
made during the day over the P.A. system.
"Mt. Pleasant Teen Summit: Building Your Safety Net"
$3,700 - Teens are the most victimized segment of the
population, yet many teen victims do not report crimes
against them and don't know where to turn for help. To
raise awareness among youth and adults in the
community of Mt. Pleasant, the high school launched a
public education campaign as part of the national Youth
Outreach for Victim Assistance (YOVA) Project. Mt.
Pleasant High School submitted their project and was
selected by the National Crime Prevention Council and
the National Center for Victims of Crime as one of only
20 sites nationwide to receive funding and training to
develop a campaign around teen victimization. The high
school put together an impressive program for the day
and invited speakers from both the national and local
level, including keynote speaker, Erika Harold, Miss
America 2003. Ms. Harold was a victim of bullying and
harassment in high school and devoted her year of
service as Miss America to fighting teen violence and
bullying. Additional speakers included two
representatives from Challenge Day (specifically funded
by the YAC) that offered a modified version of their
program in one-hour sessions and then they conducted
the student assembly at the end of the day. The message
that these people have to offer is a powerful one as they
challenge students to be the change they want to see in
their school.
National statistics and data from the high school
counseling office demonstrate a strong need for
education and support on the victimization of youth.

Objectives: 1. To educate adolescents on the dynamics of
victimization. 2. To provide information to teens on
where they can turn for help and support with
victimization related problems. A pre and post student

Historical Review of CMF Public Policy C ommittee: 2001-2004
Overview
In 2001, CMF established its Public Policy Committee with 20 members. Significant accomplishments
are as follows:

Y ear One
Establish Roles &amp; Responsibilities
Select focus issues
Define goals, objectives and strategies
Host first education event - Briefing on State Budget Deficit with CRC
Introduce Public Policy Track at CMF Annual Conference - Mackinac Island
Year T wo
Host Briefing with State Superintendent oflnstruction, the first in an on-going series
Introduce Public Policy Fellowship with grant from W.K. Kellogg Foundation
Welcome Karen Aldridge-Eason as first Foundation Liaison in Executive Branch
• Begin Early Matters initiative in partnership with Liaison and Family Foundations' Ready by Five
Study Group
• Added public policy to CMF Institute for New Grantmakers
Year Three
• Receive contract from Kellogg Foundation to conduct survey on early childhood funding
• Launch public policy area of www.cmif.org
Year two of Fellowship
Two of these events have had a significant impact on the Comm ittee's work and direction:
Fellowship faci litated a significant acceleration and expansion of activity and enabled the Committee
to engage in intensive activity evident in early childhood.
Liaison which increased access to state officials, provided important new partner, and introduced new
pressure to align Committee's work with Liaisons (from Governor).

Committee History: Roles &amp; Responsibilities
ln November 2001, the Committee drafted a set of Roles &amp; Responsibilities. During the next two
meetings, the Committee made revisions to the document and agreed to the final document in May 2002.
l n sum, the Committee defined its role as educator and relationship builder.
Roles &amp; Responsibilities (5/02)
On behalf of CMF's diverse grantrnaking membership, the Public Policy Committee seeks to:
I. Inform CMF members about the potential of their individual and collective role in the public policy
process and engage them in that process.
2. Facilitate dialogues between CMF members and policy makers.
3. Monitor and inform CMF members about state and local policies that may affect their foundations or
the nonprofit sector.
4. Make recommendations to CMF's Board of Trustees regarding opportunities for CMF partnerships
with state agencies for which CMF would serve as an intermediary. Recommendations will be made
by the Committee co-chairs based on input obtained from the full Committee and from CMF
members obtained via an on-l ine survey.

�5.

Advise CMF about positions it might take on particular public policy issues. CMF w ill refer those
issues the Committee believes may have a direct impact on philanthropy to its Government Relations
Committee. The Committee will make recommendations to the CMF Board of Trustees on issues that
it believes will not have a direct impact on philanthropy.

Examples of Possible Committee Actions
In carrying out its roles and responsibilities, the Committee may advise CMF to act in a variety of ways
and assist CMF in doing so. Some examples include:
• Sponsoring educational opportunities for members and nonmember grantmakers to improve
understanding about affecting the public policy process.
• Highlighting grantmaking, educational and other efforts of members and nonmember grant makers
that affect public policy areas via articles in CMF newsletters and on www.cmif.org
• Convening infonnational sessions for members and nonmember grantmakers on the role private
funding can play on public issues. Such sessions would present a balanced view of the pros and cons
of funding on such matters.
• Initiate discussions and meetings w ith representatives of the Executive branch as warranted on issues
such as devolution, and foster care.
• Produce a guide for policymakers and the media on grant makers and their levels of expertise in
various areas such as the arts, community development and housing, education, health, youth and
families, jobs and economic development, natural resources and recreation, and strengthening the
nonprofit sector.
Questions:
Should the Committee revise its May 2002 Roles &amp; Responsibilities based on: (1) experiences to
date, including leadership on Early Matters; and (2) relationship with the Foundation Liaison. If so,
what should those changes be?

Is the Committee successfully carrying out its charge? In which areas is it succeed ing and in which is
it not? In those where it is not, what might it do differently?

Committee History: Focus Issues
At its January 2002 meeting, the Committee agreed to focus its work on five issues it believed were of
interest to the majority of CMF members. At its May 2002 meeting, the Committee clarified and refined
that list.
Issue selection and categorization was based on the fo llowing criteria:
Important to members and their grantees
Build on significant knowledge/expertise within CMF members and/or affinity groups
Require on-going education by grantmakers
Link to impending legislation affecting grantees, i.e., TANF
Present opportunities to inform grantmakers and offer options for involvement
Emerging or current trends - ex. State fisca l policy
Cross-cutting issues - bridge &amp; leverage
In May 2002, the Committee refined its list and categories as follows:
Short Term
T ANF/economic self sufficiency (replaced jobs)
Short Tenn
Safety Net
K-12
Short Term
Short Term
Early Childhood
Long Tenn
Access to Health Care (expanded to include financing)
Land Use
Long Tenn

�It defined short term as immediate need to legislative action with 12 months and long term as issues
affinity groups are looking at plus some short-term issues. It agreed to develop criteria and processes for
identifying/confirming/ informing members about related "emerging" issues in a neutral way.

Questions:
What is a reasonable number of issues for any period?
How long should the Committee's commitment be to any one issue?
How successful has the Committee been in addressing each of the six issues?
Should the Committee adopt a more intensive strategy, such as that for Early Matters, for other
issues? If so, for which issue and w ith ways?

Committee History: Education &amp; Awareness Activities
At its January 2002 meeting, the Committee agreed to focus its work on foundation staff and tmstees and
to develop and implement the following strategies. As noted earlier, creation of the Fellowship and the
Office of the Foundation Liaison and changes at CMF (expanded and enhanced communications
services), made it possible for the Committee to significantly expand and, in some cases, institutionalize
some of these strategies.
The Committee's goal for these activities was to:
1. Increase foundation staff/trustees' awareness about role foundations can/do play in public policy.
Specifically: W hat puplic policy is; How public p olicy gets made; Why fo undations should
participate in public policy process (impact on program goals); and What roles foundations can p lay
in public policy arena (in general and by foundation type)
2. Increase nonprofit leaders' awareness of role nonprofit can/does play in public policy (through
partnership with MNA).

development, FlA.

�Questions:
Where do we believe the Committee has been most/ least successful in terms of its activities?
• What changes might we make/priorities might we set based on our experience to date?

Committee History: Membership
The Committee was constituted by invitation with a priority being representation by all foundation types
(family, corporate, commun ity and independent) and regions. Membership has stayed steady at 20 with
three new members offsetting three resignations. The Committee is served by two key nonprofit partners:
MNA and the CRC. A core group of approximately eight members regularly attend meetings.
During its first year, the Committee examined how it might relate to active CMF affinity groups (Land
Use, K-12 and Devolution). Representatives of these groups were invited to the Committee's May 2002
meeting. As a result of their discussions, the Committee agreed to collaborate with these groups as needed
rather than to add representatives of each to its membership. Groups currently active are Land Use,
Aging, Women &amp; Girls and Early Childhood.
Questions:
What are the most important criteria for Committee membership?
• What relationship should the Committee have with active CMF affinity groups?
• Is there an optimal size for the Committee?
• How can the Committee more effectively engage members thereby increasing attendance at
meetings?

Government Relations
Dave Campbell presented the Government Relations report on behalf of Co-Chair Libby
Maynard. Trustee Campbell introduced the Revised Payout Study recently completed by
Cambridge Associates. Dave Lindberg reviewed the update which reaffinns the original
study's conclusions that past levels of returns do not support a payout rate above 5%.
CMF is not publicizing this update but holding it for possible use in Senate Finance
Hearings expected this summer.

Rob Collier discussed the recent announcement from the Senate Finance Committee on
Finance that the first hearing on charitable giving will be held June 22. The hearings
will consider governance and best practices of charities; charities accommodating tax
shelters; donor gifts of tangible and intangible property; and current problems and issues
in the charitable community.

Trustee Richardson noted Dean Zerbe, Chief Investigative Counsel of the Finance
Conm1ittee, is writing a white paper which is where the payout study may come into play.
The paper may include proposals such as "no disqualified person should receive any
compensation whatsoever", travel could be restricted to the Government reimbursement
rate, and trustee compensation could be limited to what the Federal Commission pays its
members. Trustee Richardson is a member of the Foundation Executive Group that is
trying to develop a template for foundation standards and promote the national standards
on the Council on Foundations website in an effort to let the Senate Finance Committee
know that foundations have reforms in place.
Rob Collier highlighted the tentative arrangements for the three panels. The first panel
will focus on enforcement with invitees including the IRS Commissioner. For the second
panel known as "Trouble in River City", Senator Grassley has invited three presenters to
showcase abuses in the nonprofit sector, most likely one will deal with the donation of
used cars for charitable purposes. The third panel will focus on foundation and nonprofit
governance. Invitees include Diana Aviv of Independent Sector, and Rick Cohen of the
National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy.
Collier recapped CMF's proactive steps including adopting the Guiding Principles, the
Education Compliance Policy as well as CMF's involvement in the Attorney General's
Nonprofit Advisory Council. He noted New York's Deputy Attorney General recently
commented this may be a national model.

Dave Campbell reported both the House and Senate Versions ofthe CARE Act appear to
be dead for this session. He presented Michigan Nonprofit Association's (MNA)
proposed response to the state budget crisis that more than 80 state nonprofit associations
have signed on to. After discussion, it was suggested that CMF not support the proposed
statement drafted by MNA but ask the Government Relations Committee to prepare a
statement specific to CMF.
Dave Campbell presented a revision to CMF's best practices for private foundations. In
the past, CMF has recommended that small private foundations under $10 million in
assets have an independent audit perfonned at least every three years, with a review in
the off years. Based on the five percent payout requirement of private foundations, this
Best Practice recommendation should be lowered to $5 million. It seems fair that private
foundations model what is required of public charities, and that we not wait for it to be
legislated -which will likely happen at some point in the future.
Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the Board adopt the following Best Practice
recommendation: That a private foundation with five million in assets
should conduct an annual independent audit.
Public Policy
Coll ier a nd COO Vicki Rosenberg acknowledged CMF's first Philanthropy Fe llow, Rrian

Flahaven, who will be leaving CMF the end of the month. The Board congratulated
Brian on expanding CMF's public policy work as well as the website which has created a
standard in the Public Policy field. Brian's successor, Julie Lynne Ford, was introduced
the prior evening at the Board/Staff dinner and will join the CMF team the end of June.
Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees ofthe Council of Michigan
Foundations extends our appreciation to Brian Flahaven for your many
contributions to CMF, our Public Policy Committee and the promotion of a
strong nonprofit sector in Michigan through service as the first Public Policy
Fellow for CMF, and we wish you continued success in your career
endeavors of service and leadership.
Ms. Rosenberg briefed Board Members on the April 22 Early Matters Forum, a
partnership of the Public Policy Committee, Office of the Foundation Liaison, and the
Family Foundations Ready by Five Study Group. The goals were to: (a) build
awareness/knowledge among public and private sector stakeholders; (b) bring new
voices/visions to the discussion and (c) encourage community-based action, new publicprivate partnerships, and systems change. Over 60 foundation representatives, 25 state
department staff(FIA, DCA, DOE, etc.), 15 service providers, and staff from the
Republican and Democratic policy offices participated in the Forum.

Vicki announced the launching of the legislative E-Bulletin to inform state policy makers
about public policy issues from a foundation sector's perspective, and increase their
awareness about the work of Michigan grantmakers.
Principles and Practices Task Force
Task Force Chair Dave Egner reported on Phase II of the Principles and Practices Task
Force. The Phase II charge was to develop a policy to answer "what does a regional
association of grantmakers do if they hear of allegations of institutional misconduct deftned as actions that may be illegal, involve self-dealing or excess compensation and/or
be viewed as unethical if not illegal." Advisory Cabinet Chair Russ Mawby, noting his
experience through the Council on Foundations, cautioned the Board to step back when
the government gets involved. The Board concluded that, if there is already an
investigation by a government entity in progress, CMF will not get involved. If CMF is
investigating and the government gets involved, CMF will cease their investigation.
In presenting this policy, the Task Force recognized that CMF has no legal authority or
jurisdiction to take such actions, but is acting in the best interests of the field of organized
philanthropy in Michigan.
Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the following policy be adopted to deal with allegations of
inappropriate institutional conduct by a Michigan foundation, regardless of
whether the foundation is a member of the Council of Michigan F oundations.

Policy
"A confidential inquiry may be initiated by the president in response to allegations
of inappropriate institutional conduct (such as conflict of interest, self-dealing,
excess compensation) that may come to CMF' s attention through media coverage,
personal communications to members of CMF's board or staff, and referral from
the attorney general's staff. If there is already an investigation by a government
entity in progress, CMF will not get involved. If CMF is investigating and the
government gets involved, CMF will cease its investigation
If the results of this inquiry warrant further action, the president will select a panel

of up to five experienced grantmakers from a list already approved by the Board of
Trustees, to examine the allegation of inappropriate conduct. The panel will then
consider courses of action that CMF might take and recommend appropriate action
to the president and board. The panel may recommend: (1) no action or contact
with the foundation- member or nonmember or (2) contact with the CEO and or
Chair of the foundation in person and/or in writing to review the allegation,
investigate the facts, and obtain commitment to or evidence of corrective action.
Depending on the level of response, this contact may be expanded to the whole
board of the foundation. The response(s) will be shared by the president of CMF
with the panel members.

�Board ofTntstees Meeting
Minutes - June I0, 2004
Page 6

The panel would report to the board on such referrals and recommend a
probationary period or revoking membership if it is deemed appropriate. Any
decision by the board shall be communicated in writing to the foundation. The
foundation will be offered an opportunity to submit a written response and to make
a direct presentation to the board. In approving any actions, the board shall decide
whether any of its actions or communications will be made public. Any public
statement would be made only after careful consideration of the facts and review
with legal counsel.
If corrective action is not forthcoming in ninety days, the president will under

appropriate circumstances refer the foundation to the Charitable Trust Office of the
Attorney General. The foundation in question will be given a copy of the
correspondence outlining the allegations and efforts to secure a satisfactory
response."
Trustee Egner introduced a policy to address intermediate sanctions, recommended by the
Task Force due to the cases of excess compensation by Michigan foundations being
brought to CMF' s attention. CMF staff can use this policy as an educational tool to help
both members and nonmembers in responding to the question, what is reasonable
compensation for trustees and/or staff? After discussion the Board approved the
following policy amending step one by deleting the word "disinterested."
Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was

RESOLVED further that the three steps outlined in the intermediate sanctions
rules that apply to public charities be adopted and recommended for use to
private foundations when considering issues related to compensation.
In the context of intermediate sanctions, when a charity (or its governing board)
approves a level of compensation, the law will presume that it is reasonable so long as
certain steps are taken. Under the regulations implementing the intermediate sanction
rules, three conditions must be satisfied to take advantage of the rebuttable presumption:
1. Approval by a governing board. The compensation arrangement must be approved in
advance (before any payment) by the governing body of the organization, which is
composed entirely of individuals who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the
compensation arrangement.

2. Reliance on comparable data. Prior to making its determination, the governing body
must obtain and rely upon data regarding comparability of compensation.
3. Concurrent documentation. The governing body must adequately document by an
entry in the minutes of the appropriate meeting the basis for its determination
concurrently with making that determination (within 60 days of the decision or the date
of the next meeting of the governing body, whichever is later).

Communications Plan
Using a PowerPoint presentation, (copy attached to these minutes) Vicki Rosenberg,
Mike Gallagher and Kathy Ginocchio reviewed the Communications Plan. Highlights
include:
• Target audience - every staff member now receives the E-news instead of just the
main contact of the organization.
• Data gathering - Mike Gallagher has talked to over 400 grantmakers (both
members and nonmembers) over the past year,
• Timeliness - directing members to the website for the most current information
• New graphic &amp; identity branding - all CMF publications have similar templates
• Newswire service - need to make members aware that the information is timely
• Web trends - the Newsroom articles have increased the Newsroom usage by
400%

Donnell Mersereau, Director, Community Foundations, presented an overview and
displayed the ads for the Communities of Color initiative. In addition, Ms. Mersereau
announced that CMF, in partnership with Blue Print Research &amp; Design, Public Policy
Associates and the Williams Group, has received one ofthree national research grants
from the Aspen Institute's Nonprofit Research Fund to look at the economic benefits of
small community foundations forming regional partnerships. The $85,000 grant has been
complimented by a $50,000 grant from the C.S. Mort Foundation.
Michigan IDA Partnership Update
Eric Muschler, Director, updated the Board on the latest activities of the Partnership.
Five Regional Coordinating Organizations are supervising 50 plus program sites with
over 1200 active IDA accounts. Total asset purchases now exceed 200 with more than
$10 million in new mortgages generated. Mr. Muschler also reviewed the Year 3
Evaluation Report which is available on the cmif.org website. The evaluation surveyed
50 families that completed the program and 50 families that did not complete the
program. Results show the overall credit scores improved for both. He also reported that
one of the Regional Coordinating Organizations has received a national pilot grant from
the federal government for the SEED Initiative, a national policy initiative of matched
Education accounts for 3 &amp; 4 year olds.

Information Services
Over the past six months, page views at www.cmif.org have increased by 50%. Most of
the new activity can be attributed to the introduction of the CMF N ews Wire e-mail news
service for members, as well as the Annual Conference web, fax and e-mail promotions.
Member Community Foundations continue to be the most frequent users of the Member
only section of the site, followed in order of frequency of access by Family, Independent
and Corporate givers.
A new web-based collaboration site was introduced for the Fetzer "Heart of the
Philanthropist" participants. The password protected shared web work space allows
attendees to collaborate on documents, post reading lists, share photos, comments and
add items for discussion

Communications
In addition to the weekly e-articles produced by Michae l Gallagher, we have published:

Annual Report 2003-2004
The Family Philanthropist, Fall 2004
Memo to Members, September 2004
In October 2004, staff conducted an on-line survey to get members' feedback on the
format, content, frequency and distribution of current print and electronic
communications vehicles. Surveys were completed by 133 members, 43% of whom are
affiliated with community foundations, 24% with independent foundations; 18% with
family foundations; 7% w ith corporate foundations; and 9% with public charities or
others. A few highlights of results are that:
• 73% rate content of print newsletters as excellent or good;
• 87% rate the overall quality and content of the CMF website as "excellent or
good", up from 78% who responded to the Winter 2004 Member Survey;
• 92% read the monthly E-News always or sometimes.
Recmmnendations for improvements to CMF communications will be presented to the
Board as part of the FYOS budget proposal. Those recommendations will be based on
findings from the survey and member focus groups to be conducted this fall.

Memo to:

CMF Executive Committee

From:

Rob Collier, President
David R. Lindberg, Vice President, Finance &amp; Administration
Vicki Rosenberg, Vice P resident &amp; COO

RE:

Policy on Unemployment Compensation Accrual

RESOLVED that CMF establish a policy of annually accruing for unemployment
taxes at an appropriate rate established by management, to cover possible
unemployment claims by terminated employees, with the Audit and Finance
Committee providing final review and approval for this policy.
Background:
As a non-profit CMF has exercised the option of paying for unemployment claims on a
pay as you go basis, meaning a bill is sent to CMF quarterly for any unemployment
claims paid out during this period oftime. From a budgeting stand point funding claims
in this manne r has not been an issue since they have generally averaged less than one per
year. However, because several major projects will wind down in the next few years, it
makes sense to start accruing for this potential liability while those projects still have
funds to cover these potential costs. The potential accmal calculation based on 2003
payroll figures is:
CMF Core Services
CMF Special Projects
Michigan AIDS Fund
Total Annual Amount

$4,500
3,500
1,200
$9,200

During our analysis of switching from a pay as claims arise policy three options have
been examined.

Option 1:

501 Alliance

The 501 Alliance is a non-profit organization that collects unemployment taxes from nonprofits and makes payments directly to the State of Michigan when claims are paid on
behalf of the non-profit.
Rate starts out at 2.25%
• This money is kept in a reserve to pay claims through the 50 1 Alliance.
• The rate can rise if CMF's reserve becomes negative.
• The entire 2.25% is placed in the reserve. The 501 Alliance charges no
administrative fee. They make their money off the investment of these funds.

�Option 2:
State of Michigan
• Rate starts out at 2.7%
• After 5 years the rate may change based on actual claims.
• After 5 years the State keeps 1% of the 2.7% (or higher) rate that we pay. In this
case only 1.7% would be credited to our reserve.
Option 3:
Set up an annual accrual on CMF's books
• Reserve, by booking an annual accrual, the amount CMF would pay either the
501 Alliance or the State of Michigan on our books to cover claims.
• Unused money stays with CMF.
• CMF's earns the interest on these funds.
• The annual accrual could be reduced if the reserve becomes too large.

We talked with representatives of two accounting fmns about whether they would allow
this accrual to stay on the books or propose an audit adjust, since they may not consider
this an actual liability until a claim is filed.
Rehmann Robson - CMF's Current Auditor
They stated that many of their non-profit clients set up an accrual on their books in this
mmmer, and therefore they would not propose that the accrual be taken off the books.
Yeo &amp; Yeo - CMF's Audit Committee Chair's Fim1
They would propose the accrual be removed from the books each year, but since the
amount most likely would be immaterial to the overall financial statement presentation,
they would pass on this adjustment.

Memo to:

CMF Executive Committee

From:

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

RE:

Changes to P ersonnel Policies

RESOLVED that Document Destruction, Code of Conduct and Whistle-Blower policies
be added to the Personnel Policies of CMF.
Background
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act which was signed into law on July 30, 2002, was designed to add
new governance standards for the corporate sector to rebuild public trust in publicly held
companies. CMF established a separate audit committee several years ago and revised the
duties of this committee in the fall of2003 to comply with audit committee portion of this
act. Because CMF's Personnel policies are used as a model for the nonprofit sector, it is
vital that the two standards in the act (document destruction and whistle-blower protection)
be added.

Document Destruction Policy
CMF acknowledges its responsibility to preserve information relating to litigation, audits and
investigations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of July 30, 2002, makes it a crime to alter, cover up
falsify, or destroy any document to prevent its use in an official proceeding. Failure on the
part of employees to follow this policy can result in possible civil and criminal sanctions
against CMF and its employees and possible disciplinary action against responsible
individuals (up to and including termination of employment). Each employee has an
obligation to contact the Vice President of Finance &amp; Administration of a potential or actual
litigation, external audit, investigation or similar proceeding involving CMF that may have
an impact as well on the approved records retention schedule.

Whistle-Blower/Code of Conduct Policy
In keeping with the policy of maintaining the highest standards of conduct and ethics CMF
will investigate any suspected fraudulent or dishonest use or misuse ofCMF' s resources or
property by staff, board members, consultants or volunteers. CMF is committed to
maintaining the highest standards of conduct and ethical behavior and promotes a working
environment that values respect, faimess and integrity. All staff, board members and
volunteers shall act with honesty, integrity and openness in all their dealings as
representatives for the organization. Failure to follow these standards will result in

�disciplinary action including possible termination of employment, dismissal from one's
board or volunteer duties and possible civil or criminal prosecution if warranted.
Staff, board members, consultants and volunteers are encouraged to report suspected
fraudulent or dishonest conduct (i.e. to act as "whistle-blower"), pursuant to the procedures
set forth below.

Reporting
A person's concerns about possible fraudulent or dishonest use or misuse of resources or
property should be reported to his or her supervisor or, if suspected by a volunteer, to the
staff member supporting the volunteer's work If for any reason a person finds it difficult to
report his or her concerns to a supervisor or staff member supporting the volunteer's work,
the person may report the concerns directly to the Chair of the CMF Board of Trustees or
Audit &amp; Finance Committee, Vice President of F inance &amp; Administration, Chief Operating
Officer or the President. Alternately, to facilitate reporting of suspected v iolations where the
reporter wishes to remain anonymous, a written statement may be submitted to one of the
individuals listed above.

Definitions
Baseless Allegations: Allegations made with reckless disregard for their truth or falsity.
People making such allegations may be subj ect to disciplinary action by CMF, and/or legal
claims by individuals accused of such conduct.
Fraudulent or Dishonest Conduct: A deliberate act or failure to act with the intention of
obtaining an unauthorized benefit. Examples of such conduct include, but are not limited to:
forgery or alteration of documents;
unauthorized alteration or manipulation of computer files;
fraudulent financial reporting;
pursuit of a benefit or advantage in violation ofCMF's Conflict ofInterest Policy;
misappropriation or misuse of CMF resources, such as funds, supplies, or other
assets;
authorizing or receiving compensation for goods not received or services not
performed; and
authorizing or receiving compensation for hours not worked
Whistle-Blower: An employee, consultant or volunteer who infonns a supervisor, the Vice
President of Finance &amp; Administration, Chief Operating Officer, President or Chair of the
Board of Tmstees or Audit &amp; Finance Committee about an activity relating to CMF which
that person believes to be fraudu lent or dishonest.

�Rights and Responsibilities
Supervisors
Supervisors are required to report suspected fraudulent or dishonest conduct to the Vice
President of Finance &amp; Administration, Chief Operating Officer or the President.
Reasonable care should be taken in dealing with suspected misconduct to avoid:
baseless allegations;
premature notice to persons suspected of misconduct and/or disclosure of
suspected misconduct to others not involved with the investigation; and
violations of a person's rights under law
Due to the important yet sensitive nature of the suspected violations, effective professional
follow-up is critical. Supervisors, while appropriately concerned about "getting to the
bottom" of such issues, should not in any circumstances perfonn any investigative or other
follow up steps on their own. Accordingly, a supervisor who becomes aware of suspected
misconduct:
should not contact the person suspected to further investigate the matter or
demand restitution.
should not discuss the case with attorneys, the media or anyone other than the
Vice President of Finance &amp; Administration, Chief Operating Officer, President
or Chair ofthe Board of Trustees or Audit &amp; Finance Committee
• should not report the case to an authorized law enforcement officer without first
discussing the case with the Vice President of Finance &amp; Administration, Chief
Operating Officer, President or Chair of the Board of Trustees or Audit &amp; Finance
Committee.
Investigation
All relevant matters, including suspected but unproved matters, will be reviewed and
analyzed, with documentation of the receipt, retention, investigation and treatment of the
complaint. Appropriate corrective action will be taken, if necessary, and findings will be
communicated back to the reporting person and his or her supervisor. Investigations may
warrant investigation by an independent person such as auditors and/or attorneys.
Whistle-Blower Protection
CMF will protect whistle-blowers as defined below.
CMF will use its best efforts to protect whistle-blowers against retaliation.
Whistle-blowing complaints will be handled with sensitivity, discretion and
confidentiality to the extent allowed by the circumstances and the law. Generally
this means that whistle-blower complaints will only be shared with those who
have a need to know so that CMF can conduct an effective investigation,
determine w hat action to take based on the results of any such investigation, and
3

�in appropriate cases, with law enforcement personnel. (Should disciplinary or
legal action be taken against a person or persons as a result of a whistle-blower
complaint, such persons may also have right to know the identity of the whistleblower.)
Employees, consultants and volunteers of CMF may not retaliate against a
whistle-blower for infomling management about an activity which that person
believes to be fraudulent or dishonest with the intent or effect of adversely
affecting the tenns or conditions of the whistle-blower's employment, including
but not linlited to, threats of physical harm, loss of job, punitive work
assignments, or impact on salary or fees. Whistle-blowers who believe that they
have been retaliated against may file a written complaint with the Vice President
of Finance &amp; Administration, Chief Operating Officer, President or Chair of the
Board of Trustees or Audit &amp; Finance Committee. Any complaint of retaliation
will be promptly investigated and appropriate corrective measures taken if
allegations of retaliation are substantiated. This protection from retaliation is not
intended to prohibit supervisors from taking action, including disciplinary action,
in the usual scope of their duties and based on valid performance-related factors.
Whistle-blowers must be cautious to avoid baseless allegations (as described
earlier in the definitions section of this policy).

Ninety (90) grantmakers have yet to renew. Twenty (20) did not pay their 2003 dues, and senior
management is working to determine those we should drop from membership. A second reminder
letter was sent to 8 1 grantmakers in mid-September, resulting in 21 additional renewals to date.

�II. Feedback and Experience
One small family foundation member, whose dues went from $150 to $300, is concerned because
dues now constitute 12% of their $2,500 annual grantmaking. Another calculation shows their
dues as a percentage of assets of $50,000 at .06. However, iftheir assets were $10 million the
assessment would be .03%. They have yet to renew, and may set up a donor-advised fund in their
local community foundation. Another member wrote of a tight expense budget and the need to
make tough decisions with limited resources. Only thirteen (13) members have underpaid their
dues, ranging from $100 to $1,900. We invited members to take two years to reach the new dues
level, so do not find these numbers of concern, and are dealing with each on an individual basis.

III. New Category- Non Member
In order to help increase and promote philanthropy in Michigan, staff has recommended a new
category for participation in CMF - Corporate Giving Program-Individual Consultant Service
(Definition &amp; Criteria attached). Upon review the Committee has endorsed the concept, however
making it clear that this is not a membership category.
Individuals are defined as lawyers, accountants and financial planners to the wealthy, who do not
have an individual or corporate foundation. The goal is to bring the "gatekeepers to philanthropy"
closer to CMF, to educate them and in turn help them better serve their clients who may be
creating foundations or donor advised funds at community foundations.
Any individual consultant responding to this opportunity will not be offered membership status,
and therefore, will not have voting privileges. The annual fee of $500 would cover the basic cost
per organization- calculated at $495 by David Lindberg.

Memo To:

S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Russell G. Mawby, Chair, National Steering Committee
Kathy Agard, Executive Director

Re:

Learning to Give Progress Report

On behalf of the National Steering Committee for Learning to Give (LTG), we are pleased to
present the following resolutions for your consideration and support. We believe the proposed
action is the appropriate step in what we hope will become a national organization and
philanthropy education movement.

RESOLVED that the Learning to Give Initiative become a supporting organization of
the Council of Michigan Foundations with appropriate transfer of grants and
contractual obligation as reviewed by legal counsel and approved by current funders of
the Initiative.
RESOLVED further that the following individuals be appointed as founding Trustees
for the terms as designated, with the bylaws designating that the president of the
Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) shall serve as the common trustee to CMF:
One vear
Dorothy A. Johnson, trustee, W.K. Kellogg Foundation
Robert S. Collier, president, Council of Michigan Foundations
Two years
C. David Campbell, president, McGregor Fund
Julie F. Cummings, trustee, The Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation,
Community foundation for Southeastern Michigan, Community Foundation for Palm
Beach and Martin Counties
Mark Murrray, president, Grand Valley State University
Three years
James A. Kelly, founding president, National Board for Professional Teaching
Standards
Rick Little, president, Imaginenations
Background
We are delighted to share that Dottie Johnson and Jim Kelly have agreed to serve as CoChairs of this new Board. The fow1ding Board, provided that you approve of this action, w ill
have its organizing meeting this afternoon, November 3'd to approve: bylaws, submission of a
Form 1023 to the IRS and a 16 month budget for the period December 1, 2004 to March 31 ,
2006. The proposed bylaws that will be reviewed by CMF Legal Counsel Duane Tarnacki,
who created CMF's two other supporting organizations, will allow for a Board of up to 21 and
an Executive Committee of 5. The Founding Board of Trustees will seek additional Trustees
from the corporate, and nonprofit sector outside of Michigan as well as from diverse
communities, who can advance the national mission of LTG.

It has been a busy summer since we last met with you in June. Please note the editorial from

the Kalamazoo Gazette that follows this report and resulted from the successful launch of
Learning to Give at Grand Valley State University in June. Here are some highlights of what
has led to the recommendation being presented today. During the spring and summer of 2004,
LTG received consultation from lEG related to corporate sponsorship, the National Council
for Nonprofit Enterprise related to sustainability, and Brigandi and Associates related to
attracting corporate sponsorship. Each of the consultants recommended that LTG develop an
identity separate from CMF. After discussion by small planning groups over the summer, the
LTG Steering Committee approved this resolution for the CMF Board's consideration.

Reasons for Separating LTG from CMF
a. CMF is Michigan--focused, LTG desires to have national and eventually international
scale
b. CMF's Michigan base and membership base makes it difficult to attract national level and
corporate based volunteer leadership
c. CMF is a trade association of grantmakers--individual donors, and foundations may have
some hesitation in funding CMF for LTG
d. Corporate sponsors seek to link their brand with a nationally known philanthropic brand-LTG rather than CMF should be the brand partner.
Reasons for Keeping LTG connected to CMF
a. LTG has no administrative support structure at this time (bookkeeping, personnel, related
insurance, auditing etc). Nor rloes f ,TG have the financial support to hire these
serv1ces
b. LTG has only a fledgling fund-raising history with individual donors, and only a fledgling
start at fee for service income strategies.
c. LTG has no formal legal or governance structure, this needs to be developed over time,
the volunteer leadership is advisory
d. LTG is uniquely positioned within the philanthropic-grantmaking world, giving it an
unusual strategic setting. Before abandoning this unique position, more strategic thinking
is required. The two potential new homes for LTG: in education, or as a separate nonprofit, are fields crowded with highly mature organizations. LTG will need to be prepared
to compete for resources within either of these domains prior to becoming independent.
e. CMF can help LTG mitigate some of its weaknesses in attracting corporate sponsorship
by sharing benefits: exposure in CMF publications, educational seminars, and on the CMF
web-site.
f. LTG has explored other alternative homes during the past five years, and has developed a
set of criteria for evaluating potential larger organizational venues. In each case explored,
the host institution would only be interested if LTG brought self-sufficient resources with
the program--offering no unique financial advantage.
Unique Features ofa Supporting Organization Structure
a. LTG can develop a national level governance structure with its own 501 c3 supporting
organization status
b. LTG will have its own financial books, and separate audit. Financial and other systems
w ill become more easily dis-engaged from CMF's systems in the future, if desired.
c. Donors and revenue: individuals, and foundation gifts; corporate sponsorship, and sales;
and other agreements will be with LTG as a legal entity, rather than to CMF for LTG

d. Major gifts from single private foundation sources could be received by LTG without the
problem of"tipping" into private foundation status
e. CMF has experience in developing, managing, and spinning-off philanthropic functions
using this model
f. This option provides a mid-step between LTG 's current status as a project of CMF, and
full organizational independence
g. If LTG is not financially viable, CMF's Board would still have final authority over, and
responsibility for, disposition of the assets .

Learning to Give
Progress Report-Fan 2004
Highlights
Planning: The past five months have focused on gathering strategic information and
discussing future directions for Learning to Give. In June, two reports were received from
national consulting firms: lEG, a firm specializing in corporate sponsorship, and the National
Council for Nonprofit Enterprise (NCNE), a firm specializing in issues of non-profit
sustainability through earned income.
During July, August and September, these reports were discussed in small groups with the
Steering Committee, LTG staff/consultants, and Teachers. In addition, the reports were
reviewed by a corporate marketing director who arranged for a Chicago marketing firmBrigandi and Associates to help LTG develop a marketing plan, on a pro-bono basis.
A full-time temporary employee, Derrick Feldmann, has been hired to assist in the web-site
development project and also in the research needed to support the proposals for corporate
sponsorship. Derrick is a recent graduate of the Center on Philanthropy and has been the
graduate student for Learning to Give-Indiana.

Special Projects: Learning to Give's ability to develop philanthropy education materials,
lessons, and support has been discovered and a number of partnership opportunities have
emergect
The projects include: lesson plans for the Shalom Street museum in Detroit, teacher guides for
the "Profiles" of Battle Creek philanthropists, lesson plans supporting IMAX theater movies,
movie ads (extending LTG's reach by 1 million impressions per year), and 2"d grade and 9111
grade lesson plans in partnership with Junior Achievement for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation
th
.
75 anm versary.
In addition, the Glenn Institute at Westminster Schools in Atlanta, has contacted LTG to work
in conjunction with I.U. on a "high end" junior year in high school comprehensive cun·iculum
on philanthropy (video, lessons, resource materials) that can be packaged and sold.
Westminster is interested in working with LTG in developing this package for private
independent schools.

Web-site Enhancements: The LTG web-site has been undergoing major background
revision, foreground editing, and preparation for the addition of "rooms" extending the
resources to new audiences. The lesson plans have been moved from word documents to
database documents, allowing us to add multiple state standards to the same lesson plan. A ll
of the lessons have been re-coded to the standards for the State of Indiana, a separate LTGIndiana home page resides within the LTG web-site, and new lessons have been placed that
have both Indiana and Michigan standards. A web-site design revision is undetway.
New features under construction are:
• Online self-paced tutorial for educators (ten-30 minute sessions)
• Youth worker room-1 6 LTG units have been rewritten into activities
suitable for youth workers

Religious instructor room-briefing papers and audio on various religious
traditions and philanthropy are being developed
Parent/caregiver room-the family foundation book has been redrafted
for non-foundation families
Community room-due later in 2005
Student rooms-due in 2006

In addition, the Fetzer Institute is underwriting the cost of moving their "Generosity of the
Spirit" philanthropy materials to the LTG Web-site: 200 myths, legends and stories of
generosity from around the world; a discussion guide for groups to pursue deeper
understanding of philanthropy; and text of donor interviews. LTG will write lessons to
support the stories during summer 2005.
Public Relations: Initial efforts to increase public visibility for LTG are successful. The
stories include the launching of the LTG-Michigan partnership with GVSU with a luncheon
sponsored by the President of GVSU and his wife at the start of the LTG summer institute;
articles and editorials across Michigan as a result of the Booth newspaper reporting on LTG;
use of LTG as "responders" to other stories on service-learning; and national coverage in
Education Week, the Council on Foundations e-newsletter, and a journal article in Principal
Leadership, a publication of the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
LTG has retained Mike Gallagher as a consultant on writing/placing articles in the national
education, service-learning, youth development, and philanthropy fields. Mike also works as
an editorial consultant to CMF.

University Partnerships:
LTG-Indiana: the Indiana partners have hired a new full-time staff person, Kathy Matthies.
Kathy brings experience as a classroom teacher, in working within the university, and in
project management. Five new partner schools and a pre-school YMCA program (the first
LTG schools in Indiana) have been recruited and teachers are currently being oriented to LTG.
A small, but successful, summer institute was held in June, led by Indiana teachers, and work
is underway to begin integrating philanthropy education into the professional development
"life cycle" of teachers. LTG' s African-American posters were distributed to over 300
attendees at the Indiana Center"s African-American Philanthropy's Symposium in August.

LTG-Michigan: the GVSU College of Education partners have recruited and are providing
inservice professional development to nine new LTG schools in western Michigan. The
second workshop for approximately 200 student teachers was held in September. Research
on the integration of philanthropy education into the undergraduate Foundations of Education
course is underway.
Summer institute for teachers are planned for:
June 21-24, 2005 in Indiana
June 27-30, 2005 in Michigan
Interest in LTG
Individuals and groups continue to express interest in Learning to Give.
• Seattle: a home school consortium will make a decision shortly on bringing LTG to
their "school".
