What Products, Services &amp; Resources Do Members Use &amp; Value?
Education &amp; Networking Programs
See Table Three for more detail
Over 80% of respondents participate in and find CMF education and networking programs
excellent or satisfactory.
64'Yo attend Public Policy Briefings and find them excellent or satisfactory indicating the
relevance and quality of this member service added less than two years ago.

To measure member interest in education programs planned for FY04, CMF asked members to
indicate if they would or might attend programs on accountability, advanced governance, public
policy, investments, and technology planning. 65% of respondents said yes or maybe to
Accountability and Investments- the highest ratings. Public Policy received the lowest rating of
the program offerings at 56% . The public policy rating indicates the importance of the Public
Policy Committees commitment to raising awareness and capacity in th is important area.
Reconfirming their willingness to use the Internet, 64% of respondents said offering more programs
via the web would increase the value of CMF membership. 75% said someone from their
organization would or might participate in such programs. 13% of respondents would not
participate due to hardware/software or lack of comfort. These findings support increasing program
delivery via the web and adding technology training to help members develop a greater comfort level
with technology - priorities of the new Plan of Work. Our goals for expanding use of the web are to
increase access and decrease costs.
F inally, 53% of respondents would welcome the addition of a Mentor Program for New
Grantmakers, an activity that will be explore with the Fetzer Institute and the Grantmaking School
in 2004.

Information Services
See Table Three for 1nore detail.
In the 2002 Member Survey, Sample Documents was rated one of the most valuable services
available to members. This remains constant in 2004 as indicated by the 73% of respondents that
use and are highly satisfied with this service.
78% of respondents rated the redesigned CMF Website introduced less than one year ago as
excellent or satisfactory. Most frequently used sections are the Events Calendar and Sample
Documents which reaffi1ms other findings regarding participation in CMF programs and the value of
the Sample Documents. In addition, 59% rated secure on-line registration introduced for the 2003
Annual Conference as excellent or satisfactory . In FY04, CMF plans to expand this service to all
events.
Between 50 and 59% of respondents use and are satisfied with the CMF Accounting and Legal
information service. In FY04, CMF will explore the feas ibility of enhancing legal services to better
serve members.
7% of respondents rated the news clipping service as poor, 5% higher than any other such rating for
a CMF program or service. The FY04 Plan of Work calls for exploring the feasibility of developing
an automated, searchable database of news clippings to get significantly more value from this
resource. Our goals are to be able to track issues and regions receiving the most coverage and the
quality of reporting.

�In response to questions about the value of new information services, 64% of respondents were very
positive about CMF adding a sear chable database of member gr ants. 54% would like us to add
Grants Application Automation Assistance. Both are being explored during Phase II of the
Technology Initiative.

In FY04 current improvements efforts will be integrated into a new strategic commun ications plan
that aims to: (I) increase the timely delivery of unique information in response to the 47% of
respondents who only somewhat agree that the news CMF currently provides is not readily available
elsewhere; and (2) ensure that all members have access to CMF news and information in response to
the 35% of respondents that never share these resources with colleagues.

�How WeiJ Does C MF Understand Members' C oncerns?
When asked about their concern with four issues facing philanthropy, between 90% and 96% of
respondents responded they are very or somewhat concerned about the economy (96%), the state
budget crisis (93 % ) and accountability (90% ). Fewer respondents (74'Yo) have that level of concern
about media scrutiny. These findings support planned increased coverage of accountability and
public policy in CMF programs and publications in 2004.
Finally, 44% of respondents expect their 2004 giving to increase and 48% anticipate it will remain
steady. Only 6% (corporate funders) expect it to decrease.

Teacher Professional Development
Mini-grants to education professors to begin the process of infusing LTG into
pre-service education undergraduate courses-mini-grants are supplied by the
Dorothy A. Johnson Center at GVSU for their professors. Three professors are
currently making curricular changes. ru has not yet started this phase.
M.Ed.-second year on a tuition basis with some tuition-splitting revenue
returning to LTG-program is building and tuition-splitting has not yet started.
University Leadership of LTG
CMF meet with regional funders-GVSU and IU have raised funds from regional
grantmakers
Provide GVSU and IU with challenge grants-Three-year challenges given and completed.
Continue discussions with National Advisory Committee member universities regarding
funding from regional sources-ongoing
LTG Leadership:Steering Committee; National Advisory Committee-ongoing

Commercialization/Non-grant Revenue/Sustainability
Develop a business plan for sustainability:
Begin work with the National Center on Nonprofit Enterprise
The National Council for Nonprofit Enterprise has encountered problems in

scheduling their consultation on sustainability. There is a possibility a meeting might
still occur this spring.
Underwriting of Materials Development (Sponsorships)
lEG Corporate Sponsorship Consultation
In the meantime, CMF has retained for Learning to Give lEG, a national sponsorship
consulting fim1, lEG will audit LTG holdings and develop a market value for each
component as well as a "high end" packaging of the components. In addition, they
will provide LTG with a list of corporations whose sponsorship interests most closely
align with LTG properties and will draft a model corporate sponsorship proposal.
The audit will be received by June 2004. lEG continues to consult with LTG on
corporate sponsorships. National references ofiEG indicate they have an excellent
reputation with corporate sponsors who consider their property evaluation to be a
"gold standard." We are hopeful this strategy may result in long-term financial
relationships for LTG.
Family Foundation Lessons .and Briefing Papers
LTG is pursuing proposals with family foundations to honor their founders through
the development of lesson plans and briefing papers. These new lesson plans build a
pool of resources for students on how individual lives have contributed to the
common good, and the revenue assists LTG in reaching the next generation.

Fund-raising
During the fall, Learning to Give embarked on its first fund-raising campaign for gifts
from individuals. In late October and early November, over 17,000 letters were sent
to LTG supporters and to individuals w ho receive the newsletter. A 1:1 challenge
grant of $30,000 was offered by two anonymous donors with a goal to raise the
match, $30,000, by October 2004. A giving level for "Founding Donors" was
established at $ 1,000.
Progress made to-date: (A list of founding donors are attached)
$36,017
Total gifts and pledges:
Total number of gifts:
64
Total number of founding gifts:
15
The goal for the matching challenge grants has been achieved. The fund-raising will
continue to additional audiences during the year to assist us in building a base and
reaching new supporters. The LTG staffhas given 100%. A secondary goal has been
established to gain support from 75% of the individuals closely involved with LTG.
Communication will continue with the current donors. The fund-raising calendar
begins again in the fall of 2004.

Online book club
Amazon.com Associates Program
In October, LTG enrolled in an Amazon.com Associates Program. A ll sales of books
from the LTG web-site through Amazon result in a financial credit. Each time the
credit grows to $25 LTG receives a check. To-date $13 has been raised this way. As
teachers prepare for fall and there is further time to promote this feature, it is hoped
that there will be a continuing, modest, level of revenue.
Marketing and sales of special interest packages of lessons, briefing papers,
quotations, and classroom accessories
African-American Lessons/Briefing Papers/Quotations/Posters
The African-American educational binders of materials at grades K-5, 6-8, and 9-12

Foundations

Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving.

Guiding Principles
Adopted November 10, 2003 by the CMF Board of Trustees as a condition of membership
Michigan is blessed with a tradition of philanthropic giving. This is demonstrated in part by the more
than 2,000 family, independent, community and corporate foundations documented in the 13111 Edition of
The Michigan Foundation Directory, published in 2002 by the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF)
with the Foundation Center ofNew York. These fou ndations are vital partners with the public, private
and nonprofit sectors in strengthening the quality of life for all Michigan residents. This tradition
continues in our state every month with the creation of new foundations and community foundation
donor-advised funds.
Foundations are recognized as tax exempt 50l(c)(3) charitable organizations in the federal government's
Internal Revenue Code. It is the charitable nature oftheir purpose that allows for this tax status. Thus
foundation trustees and foundation staff need to be both conscientious and well informed. CMF and its
members recognize that all Michigan foundations with this 50 I (c)(3) status must be accountable to
federal and state laws and to the responsibilities ofbeing a fiduciary and of tax exemption. It is
imperative that foundation trustees be fami liar with all federal and state legal requirements, including
the annual filing of990 PF and 990 reports and such subjects as the private foundation payout, excise
tax and self-dealing. Legal counsel should be consulted if there are questions about applicable state and
federal laws.
The CMF Board of Trustees has adopted the following Guiding Principles as a condition of
membership, in recognition of the need for all foundations to strive to maintain the public trust in
fulfilling their respective charitable purposes. Members are asked to endorse these Guiding Principles
that set forth ideals for each member to work to achieve and demonstrate in the operations of
their foundations. The Guiding Principles address the question often asked by the public - What do
foundations stand for?
I.

Adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior in all foundation actions.

2. Honor donor(s) intent.
3. Have an identifiable active governing Board- a decision-making body that sets and regularly
reviews policies on: governance, including conflict of interest; grantmaking; finance and
administration, including audit; and communications.
4. Be accessible by having basic grantmaking information readily available regarding funding
priorities and application requirements.
5. Build constructive r elationships based on mutual respect, candor, confidentiality and
understanding with the public, applicants, grantees and donors.
6. Strive to include the perspectives, opinions and experiences of the broadest possible crosssection of people to inform the foundation through its grantmaking, through the composition
of its board, committees, staff and advisors/consultants and through its business practices.
7. Support continuous learning by trustees, staff and grantees.

Ifyou have any questions or concerns regarding the Guiding Principles, please contact Rob Collier at 616.842. 7080.

Suggestions on Effective Practices for Implementing the Guiding Principles
The CMF Board of Trustees recognizes that there are different approaches to
implementation of each of the Guiding Principles - highlighted in BOLD. Therefore,
examples of effective practices are presented that have proven to be beneficial to
grantmakers in achieving each Principle. Because some of these practices are unique to
specific types of grantmakers, grantmakers should adapt the practices that best suit their
operational requirements. Intended to be instructional, these practices are updated
regularly in order to share what works well for grantmakers. Other examples of practices
and materials to implement each Principle are available from CMF. Additional examples
are always welcome.
1. Adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior in all foundation actions

Adopt a code of ethics, by committing to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Act honestly, truthfully, consistently and with integrity and independence in all
transactions and dealings,
Avoid conflicts of interest and the inappropriate handling of actual or apparent
conflicts of interest in relationships,
Treat grantees fairly and treat every individual with dignity and respect,
regardless of such factors as race, religion, gender and sexual preference,
Treat employees with respect, fairness and good faith and provide conditions of
employment that safeguard their rights and welfare,
Act responsibly toward the communities in which the foundation works and for
the benefit of the communities the foundation serves,
Be responsible, transparent, and accountable for all actions taken in the public's
interest,
Improve the accountability, transparency, ethical conduct and effectiveness of the
grantmaking field, and
Work to improve the understanding of philanthropy, its appropriate application
and potential consequences.

2. Honor donor(s) intent

Provide all trustees with copies of the documents creating the foundation/fund and any
other written correspondence, which details the donor's goals and expectations for the
foundation.
Have donor(s) talk with the board about their goals and expectations their purpose in
creating the charitable foundation- ideally videotaping the conversation for future
reference and generations.
State the donor's intent in every annual report and other appropriate foundation
publications.

�Suggestions on Effective Practices
Page2

If our changing society makes following the donor's specific instructions impractical,
find related alternative grantmaking goals that reasonably honor the donor's intent.
3. Have an identifiable active governing Board - a decision-making body that sets
and regularly reviews policies on: governance, including conflict of interest;
grantmaking; finance and administration, including audit; and communications
Qualifications to consider for board members include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

agreeability with the stated purposes of the Foundation/Donor,
wi llingness to participate actively,
policy, programmatic and fiscal experience,
commitment to the integrity of the grantmaking process,
reputation for fairness and equality,
philosophy, gender, race, ethnicity and socio-economic status, and
willingness to become informed

Orient new board members to their responsibilities by sharing the three duties of care,
loyalty, and obedience, as well as copies of bylaws and other organizational documents,
adopted policies, examples of grants and communication tools such as annual reports.
If trustee compensation is provided, consider the appropriateness of fees in relation to
responsibilities, time commitment and the federal guidelines for public charities on
intermediate sanctions and rebuttal presumption.
Administrative expenses for effective grantmaking should be based on regional and
national surveys and not be excessive or disproportionate to the amounts spent directly
for grants and technical assistance to grantees.
A conflict of interest policy to ensure that personal interests of board members and staff
do not conflict with the foundation's mission and purpose may include:
•
•
•

Disclosure of organizational affiliations with grantees, potential grantees or
other constituents or vendors with whom the foundation does business,
Procedures for decision-making when a board member or employee has a real
or perceived conflict of interest,
Policies on acceptance of honorariums from a grantee or a potential grantee.

Adopt mechanisms, such as grant agreement letters, required progress reports, and
evaluation tools to assess progress in achieving grantmaking objectives.
Establish a process for the regular review of the board's performance as a body and of
each trustee individually.
4. Be accessible by having basic grantmaking information readily available
regarding funding priorities and application requirements

�Suggestions on Effective Practices
Page3

Select and publicize the name and contact information for the foundation's primary
contact person
Provide a full and clear description ofthe foundation's grantmaking priorities through a
print or electronic brochure that should include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

mission and goals,
program interests, funding priorities and any restrictions on what is supported,
geographic limitations,
preferred fonnat for applications,
application deadlines and the process for acknowledging receipt of requests
dates and process for notifying applicants of a decision
a list of grants made in the previo11s year,
policies and practices for multi-year funding, and
average size and range of grants made.

Produce an annual report with fonnat, detail and dissemination appropriate to the size and
complexity of the foundation, including:
• names ofboard members,
• names and titles of officers,
• listing of staff,
• grants for the fiscal year
• grantmaking priorities and application process,
• summary of audited financial infom1ation, and
• contact infonnation for the foundation.
Make infonnation available to the Foundation Center and CMF, in order that the
grantmaker's goals and priorities may be published in appropriate public foundation
directories.
5. Build constructive relationships based on mutual respect, candor, confidentiality
and understanding with the public, applicants, grantees and donors

Share with the public the grantmaking priorities of the foundation and respond promptly
to all requests for information.
Use a postcard or email message to promptly acknowledge receipt of a proposal.
Send a timely denial letter to iliose applicants that are unsuccessful and where appropriate
indicate a willingness to discuss with ilie applicant why the proposal has been turned
down.
Include in the grant award letter payment procedures, reporting requirements and the
nature of any monitoring that will take place.

�Suggestions on Effective Practices
Page4

Inform grantees when their pictures or products will be featured in a foundation
publication, website or other communications tool.
Advise grantees, applicants and the public, w ithin a reasonable period of time, on
significant changes in grantmaking priorities or procedures.

6. Strive to include the perspectives, opinions and experiences of the broadest
possible cross-section of people to inform the foundation through its
grantmaking, through the composition of its board, committees, staff and
advisors/consultants and through its business practices
Consider the demographics of the geographic area served when nominating board
members, hiring staff and selecting consultants.
Adopt a policy to support minority and women owned vendors and vendors that have
hiring and training practices that aid under represented groups.
Invite grantees and other community representatives to help with a periodic review of
grantmaking priorities.
Appoint youth grantmakers ages 16 and 17 as voting board members, now being done by
community foundations since the 1998 passage of Public Act 444 in Michigan.

7. Support continuous learning on the part of trustees, staff and grantees
Invite grantees to share lessons learned from -projects at a foundation board meeting
Have trustees and staff participate in site visits to grantees and current or potential
applicants
Invite other grantmakers to participate in board/staff retreats or learning exchanges
Participate in local or regional geographic meetings of grantmakers to exchange ideas and
hear from informed speakers.
Encourage trustees and staff to annually attend one grantrnaking educational conference
or internet based training.
Join organized support groups, such as your regional association of grantmakers (CMF),
Council on Foundations, Independent Sector,. Philanthropy Roundtable, National
Network of Grantmakers, and one of the many affinity groups of grantmakers dealing
with issues of concern to the foundation 's grantmaking.

Memo to:

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

From:

Libby Maynard, Co-Chair Government Relations Committee
Rob Collier, President

Re:

Governme nt Relations Committee Report

The purpose of this report is to r equest approval to update the Payout Study by Cambridge
Associates for the years 1998-2002 and summarize activities at both the federal and state levels
affecting philanthropy.

I. Payout Study
RESOLVED that CMF contract with Cambridge Associates to update the Payout Study
for the years 1998-2002.
Background
The last year covered in the Payout Study was 1997. Questions have been asked about the impact
of the three bear market years 2000-2002 on the payout of private foundations.
In 2003 lhe n:: was gn:al inleresl by Mr. Zerbe am.l slaff of lhe House Ways and Means
Committee to increase the Payout by private foundations through a change in the allowance of
administrative expenses as part of the 5% Payout calculation. The compromise in the House
version of the CARE Act will not measurably increase payout, but there is concern that this issue
will become a priority for Mr. Zerbe again in 2005 due to the strong returns of the stock market
at the e nd of2003.
Therefore, with a $25,000 grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, CMF will have
Cambridge Associates update the Payout Study for the five years 1998-2002. The update should
be completed by Aprill , 2004. It will be posted on CMF 's website and shared with key partner
organizations such as the Council on Foundations.

II. Federal Issues Summary
•

The CARE Act - remains on procedural hold in the Senate, action in this Session not
expected

•

The IRA Charitable Rollover - no action expected on legislation separate from the CARE
Act to move this issue

•

Hearings on the Nonprofit Sector - expected, but possibly not until 2005

�Government Relations Report
February 23, 2004
Page 2

Background
Twenty-one members joined staff for the Annual Foundations on the Hill visit February 3 &amp; 4,
2004. Despite the challenges of Ricin closing the Senate office buildings, bad weather,
mechanical problems with a plane, and an unplanned joint session of Congress with the President
of Spain, we were able to meet with 12 of the 15 Representatives, staff of the remaining three,
and to have Senator and Mrs. Carl Levin join us for dinner. It was significant to have
Representatives Kilpatrick, Conyers and Dingell also join us for remarks during our dinner. We
had a phone conversation with Senator Stabenow upon our return from Washington.
Members of the Michigan Delegation remain supportive of the CARE Act and our two priorities
it contains: the IRA Charitable Rollover and simplification of the excise tax on private
foundations. The Senate and House versions of the CARE Act both contain the IRA Charitable
Rollover. The House Version alone contains the excise tax provision. The CARE Act remains on
hold by the Senate Democrats waiting for assurance that the Republican leadership will not add
more provisions to the Act in the Conference Committee process, like they did with the Medicaid
Bill. Senator Stabenow noted that the Pension Bill now going through the Conference Committee
process will be an important test to determine if the Senate is going to be able to move legislation
this year.
Both of our priorities remain in the President's budget, and Senator Grassley, Chair of the Senate
Finance Committee, has indicated that passage of the CARE Act is one of his priorities for this
session of Congress. However, Representative Camp is not optimistic that the CARE Act will be
passed in this session. In addition to having to resolve the differences between the House and

Senate versions, the Senate must deal with the loss of planned offsets to pay for the tax cuts in
the CARE Act.
There is no interest in either the Senate or the House to move legislation just on the IRA
Charitable Rollover at this time.
There is consensus by lobbyists that Dean Zerbe, head of the Senate Finance Committee for
Senator Grassley, will call for Hearings on three issues: the Nature Conservancy and its
purported abuse of land transactions; the General Accounting Office report on the abuse in the
donation of used vehicles to charities; and on excess compensation and self-dealing by private
foundations. However, because of the concerns over the President's budget, the hearings my not
be able to be scheduled by May. Mr. Zerbe would likely try in 2005 to hold Hearings, but with
the passing of time the enthusiasm wanes by members of the Senate Finance Committee to take
on these three issues.
III. State Issues Summary

•

Tobacco Settlement Partnership - zeroed out of the 2004 budget, no funds budgeted in
2005

•

Michigan IDA Partnership - Legislative interest to add to FIA budget for 2005

�Government Relations Report
February 23, 2004
Page 3

Background
The Governor's staff have expressed an interest in allocating funds to the community
foundations through CMF using the revenues to be generated by the proposed increase in the
state tobacco tax. There is not interest at this time in continuing to use tobacco settlement fund or
interest earned on these funds for this four-year old initiative. Meetings are ongoing with the
Governor' s policy advisors.
CMF staff have met with Representative Kooiman, Chair of the House FIA Allocation
Committee, and new FIA Director, Marianne Udow, to discuss progress with the Michigan IDA
Partnership. There is consensus to add an allocation for the Partnership to the FIA budget for
$200,000 a year for each of the next five years. Meetings are ongoing on this issue as well.

Memo to:

Martin Taylor, Chair, and M embers of the Board of Trustees

From:

Lloyd J. Yeo, Chair Audit &amp; F inance Committee
David R. Lindberg

RE:

12-3 1-03 Financial Statements

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the December 31, 2003, financial
report as recommended by the CMF Audit &amp; Finance Committee.
In reviewing the attached Core Operations financial report you will note we have projected a
net surplus of $98,000. This is primarily due to Salaries and Benefits being less than budget
along with the surplus generated from the Annual Conference being greater than anticipated.

Core Operations
Note 1: Member Contributions
Based on the Membership Director's latest projection it appears the 2003-04 dues should
come in at $733,000, which is in line with previous projections.

Note 2: Conference Income &amp; Expenses
Thanks to the generous support of sponsors for the November 2003 Annual Conference, it
appears the surplus will be close to $99,000. It is important to note that this surplus does not
include most of CMF's staff time put into the conference. Final attendance figures were:

Paid
Comped- speakers &amp; volunteers

Note 3: Wages &amp; Benefits
$45,000 of the favorable variance is due to Communication Director's position which was
vacated in April 2003. $7,000 of the variance is due to the current Communications
Associate wages being less than budget. This was a temporary position for the first three
months of2003-04, without benefits. $4,500 of the variance is due to staff time charged to
the MSHDA grant. The remaining variance is due to overtime and part-time help being less
than budgeted.
Note 4: Insurance
The favorab le variance is due to the auto insurance being charged to the Travel line item,
which is where all the other costs for company owned cars, such as the loan payments, gas
and repairs are charged.
Note 5: Computers
By the end of March 2004 we anticipate this line item will be in line with the year end
budget amounts. Major items that we anticipate to be purchased by March are:
LCD Projectors
Telecom Assessment
On going Consulting support

$5,000
5,000
15,000

Note 6: Publications/Communications
CMF is currently in the process of re-examining its communications plan. Through this
planning process we have contracted with a consultant to replace the Director of
Communications position that was vacated in April 2003. While the number of Memos to
Members and Michigan Grantmaking Scene issues produced will be less than budgeted, the
hiring of a consultant in October will offset that variance, so that overall we anticipate this
line item to end the year close to budget. When factoring in the budget amount for the
Director of Communications position that falls under Wages line item, overall the
communications costs will remain under budget for the year.

Note 8: Travel
At this point we expect travel expenses to end the year close to budget based on the fact that
January - March tend to be busy travel months due to the number of national and state
meetings during this period.

Memo to:

Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board ofTrustees

From:

Herbert (Ted) D. Doan

Re:

December 31, 2003 Investment Report

Resolved that the December 31, 2003, Investment Report, as reviewed by the
Investment Committee, be accepted.
On February 17, 2004, the Investment Committee met to review the enclosed report.
Overall U.S. stocks have rebounded nicely during the past year, with the endowment
funds experiencing returns in the 25% range for the twelve months ending December 31,
2003. By diversifying the portfolio further into the Bank One High Yield Bond Fund and
the Munder REIT Fund the returns have been further enhanced for the past twelve
months.
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 (MAF), meets to review the investment performance for the
operating and permanent endowment funds.
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 Fixed Income
Asset Allocation Report
The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that
instructs CMF' s Vice President ofFinance 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. The release of this information typically takes two to three months, which is
why this report lags by one quarter.

RE:

2004-05 Budget

Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees approve the 2004-05 Budget as
recommended by the CMF Executive and Audit &amp; Finance Committees.
In reviewing the attached Core Operations 2004-05 Budget it should be noted the increase
from 2003-04 is due primarily to the following reasons:
3% wage increase and 8% health insurance cost increase
Reduction in staff time charged to special projects
Production of the 14tn Edition of Michigan Foundation Directory
Communications consultant who will be on board for a full 12 months
in 2004-05 vs. 6 months in 2003-04.
Increase in revenue for the November 2004 Annual Conference,
sponsorship &amp; registration fees.

The budgeted revenue is based on the new membership investment structure which will go
into effect April 1, 2004. Additional revenue based on the new dues structure is broken

Based on the negative returns for the last few years we estimated members ' assets to increase
by 5% for the one-year ending 12-3 1-03, which is the basis for projecting dues for the
coming year. In looking at the Lipper returns for the year ending 12-31-03, it appears that
member assets could be up by as much as 20-24%, which should put the dues estimate on the
conservative side. Since the number of lost members resulting from the increase is unknown,
management is proposing the conservative revenue calculation remain based on a 5% asset
growth remain.
The lost revenue calculation of$30,000 assumed the majority of dropped members would
come from members in the $4 million asset category and below. With the new dues
averaging $650 for this group a loss of $30,000 would mean a drop of 46 members.
Based on the latest estimates the 396 members are broken down as follows:

Note 2: Other Grants

$65,000 of the 2003-04 amount is money from the State ofMichigan Tobacco Settlement
grant which was eliminated for the year January 1 to December 31, 2004, due to the State
budget crisis. This is the 5th year of a 20 year agreement which requires a yearly allocation
from the State budget. Once the budget outlook for the State improves management is
optimistic the annual funding will be renewed.
Note 3: Conference &amp; Meetings Income &amp; Expense

The increase from the prior year is due primarily to $6 1,000 in additional sponsorship money
anticipated for the November 2004 Annual Conference in Dearborn, along with an increase
in attendees.

additional sponsorship.
Note 4: Publications Income

The increase from the prior year is due to the sales ofthe 14th Edition of the Michigan
Foundation Directory due for release in late 2004. The Directory is produced every other
year.

Expenses
Note 5: Wages &amp; Benefits
A 3% wage increase has been budgeted for 2004-05, which is in line with anticipated
increases for other associations around the country. Faced with a 14% increase in health
insurance premiums, management and staff carefully reviewed various cost saving options,
settling on a change in the prescription drug coverage that reduced the overall increase to
roughly 8%. For those employees who do not take advantage of the CMF provided health
insurance coverage, management is proposing the reimbursement for those employees be
increased from the current $1,500 to $1,620, which is equal to the 8% increase CMF is
incurring for the health insurance premiums.
The increase from the prior year is broken down as follows:
3% wage increase
Health insurance premium increase
Reduction in time spent on special projects:
• Land Use Council
• MSHDA
• Tobacco Settlement
• IDA
Reduction in staff allocations to WKKF TV

$19,000
11,000
26,000

16,000

Note 6: Postage &amp; Supplies
The increase from the prior year is due to shipping and supply costs associated with the 14th
Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory that will go on sale in the fall of2004.
Note 7: Equipment
The increase from 2003-04 is due to anticipated equipment needs 2004-05, originally
budgeted for 2003-04.
Note 8: Technology
With the CMF website becoming a larger part of communicating and providing resources to
our members, additional time has been budgeted for the webmaster.
Note 9: Association Dues
The dues that are paid to the Forum ofRegional Associations ofGrantmakers are based on
1% of CMF' s core budget and thus accounts for $1,500 of the increase for 2004-05.

�5

Note 10: Publications
The increase from the prior year is primarily due to the 14t11 Edition of the Michigan
Foundation Directory, along with the communications consultant position which was filled in
October 2003. The communications consultant is replacing the Director of Communications'
position that became vacant in April 2003.

Note 11: Professional &amp; Contracted Services
The decrease from the prior year is due to the recent change in auditors which has reduced
CMF's share of the annual audit fees by $9,300. The total audit fees are split between CMF,
MAF, MCFV and the IDA project, which requires a separate audit due to the federal funds
involved.

Note 12: Staff Training &amp; Registration Fees
This category covers conference registrations fees for staff, along with professional
development training costs. The increase from the prior year is due to the customer
service/tolerance training budgeted for 2004-05.

Note 13: Overhead Allocation
In 2000-0 1 CMF established a policy of charging a 26% overhead rate to special projects, for
infrastructure costs that are necessary to support those projects. Allocations for 2004-05 are:
Tobacco Settlement
IDA Project
Learning to Give
MAF

$3,700
3,500
6,800
2,500

Since funding for the Tobacco Settlement was not renewed for the period 1-1-04 to 12-3 1-04,
staff time for this project will primarily be in the area of monitoring and evaluation work. In
accordance with the grant agreement a total of $189,000 in interest has been accumulated to
this project. Some of these funds will be used to fund the staff time and evaluation work
necessary in 2004-05.

Community Foundation Endowment Fund

The purpose of this fund is to support CMF's technical assistance to community foundations
in Michigan. Due to the declining stock market during 2000 - 2002 CMF received
permission from both Kellogg and the Community Foundation Committee to fund this
support with WKKF Ill &amp; IV grant dollars for the next two years thus allowing this fund to
rebuild itself.

interest eam ings and repaid loans of the Kellogg Computer Grant. The purpose of this fund

budgeted from this fund for 2004-05.

administrative expenses, with the majority being distributed to community foundations to
establish Healthy Youth/Health Senior Funds for Michigan. As noted earlier in this memo

INCREASE, ENHANCE AND IMPROVE PHILANTHROPY IN MICHIGAN.

�FOR

OUR

MEMBERS

ADVOCATE FOR A LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO PHILANTHROPY.
CMF has built a national reputation as an effective advocate for foundations
in Lansing and Washington. This year, that reputation led to invitations for
several CMF members and staff to serve on the national Panel on the
Nonprofit Sector convened by Independent Sector at the request of the
Senate Finance Committee, and on many of its working groups. This
service to philanthropy is an extension of the national leadership CMF has
provided for many years. Work in this area is guided by our Government
Relations Committee.
In Lansing, CMF's work focused on advising the state attorney general
about the work of foundations and on connecting leaders from foundations
and government around such shared priorities as criminal justice,
early childhood, healthcare, K-12 education, land use and workforce
development. CMF's work in this area is guided by our Public Policy
Committee, which partners with vhe Office of the Foundation Liaison in
the Office of the Governor.

NETWORK MICHIGAN GRANTMAKERS WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH GRANTSEEKERS.
Each year, CMF strengthens the growing network of Michigan grantmakers
around common fundi ng areas, professional roles, reg ional focus and
foundation-specific issues . W e do so through affinity-g roup meetings,
community foundation CEO and program officer retreats, Detroit Area
Grantmakers luncheon speaker series, summer youth leadership conferences,
committees, fam ily foundation summer receptions, next generation fami ly
foundation trustee events and more. CMF also connects grammakers and
grantseekers through the annual Nonprofit SuperConference to foster increased
understanding toward improving the effectiveness of the entire nonprofit sector.

aThe time and effort that CMF puts into
providing quality service to its members is unbelievable. n

a rich array of thoughtful and provocative sessions on investments, grantmaking, governance,
communications, public policy, foundation administration and more.
We are delighted to have Mary Sue Coleman, president of the University of Michigan, and
Hodding Carter, noted journalist and president of the John S. and James L. Knight

"[i·mt &amp; Ri.rk in Mit"bigtm~r Fllt11rc
Mary Sue Coleman
became president
of the University
of Michigan at
an unprecedented
time of challenges
ranging from sports
investigations, to a Supreme Court
appearance, to reductions in state
financial support. Yet she remains
firm in her commitment to the role
of higher education in Michigan's
future. President Coleman will
discuss the University's leadership
role in Michigan's new economy.

Collmmni,;Jting TmJt &amp; llltfJ!,I"ity
At a time when the
public seems to
distrust all institutions, how well do
they understand
the role of organized
philanthropy? Are
we communicating our value and our
values? Are we missing critical
communication opportunities ?
Hodding Carter, award winning
journalist, media critic, public affairs
commentator and president of the
JohnS . &amp; James l. Knight Foundation
since 1998, will respond to these
and other questions.

Each year, CMF welcomes a celebrity
donor whose personal philanthropy is
as award winning as their professional
achievements. Some past Donors'
Platform speakers are Goldie H awn,
J ackie Joyner-Kersee, Ed Asner,
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Isiah Thomas,
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and
Paul Newman.

�HONORARY CHAIRS

A Family Legacy of Philanthropy
The Council of Michigan Foundations is honored to recognize the Ford family as Honorary Chairs of the 32nd Annual Conference.
Henry Ford and his wife, Clara, shared a deep and abiding belief in the responsibility of those with means to help others not so
advantaged. Not born into wealth, but rather a man whose entrepreneurial spirit and perseverance enabled him to weather two
failed attempts to found a viable Ford Motor Company before finally succeeding, Henry Ford had an understanding and empathy
for ordinary people who worked hard to benefit their families and communities. Part of the legacy of Henry Ford was his
willingness to share the fruits of his success with others less fortunate than him.
That legacy of Ford family giving continues through to this day. Members of the Ford family have long supported a large number
and wide variety of charities in southeast Michigan. Significant and sustained support provided through individual contributions
and Ford family private foundations has positively impacted the health, welfare, education and quality of life of, literally, millions
of recipients of their philanthropic magnanimity.
Excluding the support Ford family members have and continue to provide to many churches and schools, the following
sampling of some of the organizations and causes in Michigan regularly and significantly supported by Ford family members
demonstrates the breath and scope of their philanthropic activity.

development. Mr. Wege has been devoted to "c leaning up" the environment and
saving the Great Lakes for decades and has directed his time, energy and financial
resources toward research and educating others about ecology. He has had a
long-standing relationship with the University of Michigan's School of Natural
Resources and Environment as a volunteer and donor, serving as the first chair
of the External Advisory Committee for the National Pollution Prevention Center,
now the Center for Sustainable Systems.

Convenor for community discussions. In the last year,
for Southeastern Michigan the Community Foundation has played a convening role
in two important areas. First, the Foundation held a series
of public forums focused on childhood learning and
outdoor activities. Experts from around the country came
to Detroit for four day-long forums that focused on best
practices and recent research. These presentations were
recorded and made available to the community via video
tape and on our Web site. These four events each
attracted more than 170 people. Second, the Foundation's
Green Ways Initiative has held two conferences for the
general public. One of these focused on the zoning and
engineering issues of building greenways; this conference
was designed to teach local organizations and
municipalities how to build greenways. The other
conference focused on the funding available for
greenways. Representatives often sources of

August 8. This program was also funded by the
,Holland Area Arts Council.
iYAC supported a $5,000 grant to support an after
ischool arts program called ArtFarm. ArtFarm
!organizers saw a need for a community wide afterschool arts program, that would allow youth from all
ages and socio-economic levels to participate . The
t YAC grant specifically was used to support tuition
,waivers for low-income students in Muskegon County
;to participate in this program.
[ArtFarm provides after-school arts education in the
;areas of dance, music, theater and visual arts to over
i400 youth in grades K-12 at ten sites across
:Muskegon County. The program is open to all
;county residents and bussing is provided to students
i ~~o need__!~a11sportati on .
!The students recommended a grant of$1 ,500 to the
iVietnam Veterans to buy Christmas toys for kids in
ithe area during their Operation Holidays project. This
iis a nice fit between youth with a funding source and
: y~tera11s 'v\{ith -~mission of community service.
;! Oceana Youth Theater - from middle school drama
'camps to a full summer theater program, this program
:has had a wide and deep impact on the youth in our
community. The Youth Theater is under the direction
!of Kirsten Kelly, a Juliard graduate from the
iAdvanced Directing Program. She is an Oceana
!native and has
!returned to our county for the last 3 summers to direct !
the Youth Theater program.
!We are truly grateful for her talent and direction. The
1
Community Foundation for Oceana County has been
a significant benefactor of this program since its

:The grant to Eastern Michigan University's Project
;
(YES theatre troupe has had enormous impact both on j
:the community and the project's overall capacity. The
'youth leaders of this project go to area schools and
;conduct performances about discrimination against
.lesbian and gay teens and the outcomes of that
!discrimination. (There are hundreds ofhomeless gay
;teens in SE Michigan.) The project has gotten quite a
!bit of attention, and has since received national
:funding from the Gill Foundation and others.

Council of
Michigan
Foundations

Serving grontmakers. Advancing giving.

October 31, 2003
To:

David Campbell, Chair, and Members of the Board ofTrustees

From: David Egner, Tri-chair, Public Policy Committee
Rob Collier &amp; Vicki Rosenberg
Brian Flahaven, Public Policy Fellow
Re:

Public Policy Activities

The purpose of this report is to summarize the work of the Public Policy Committee, the Land
Use Leadership Council and Foundation Liaison.

I. Public Policy Committee
The pace and scope of Public Policy Committee activities increased this summer with the arrival
of Brian Flahaven, holder of the first CMF Fellowship in Public Policy &amp; Philanthropy. We are
grateful to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for its support of the Fellowship- the only one of its
kind within a regional association of grantmakers. The Committee has continued its focus on the
six issues of land use, early childhood, K-12 school reform, access to health care, welfare reform,
and the safety net.

Goal One- to educate grantmakers about the practice of public policy engagement
In support of this goal, CMF:
•

Developed and delivered an introduction to public policy for its new Institute for New
Grantmakers held in September 2003 and made the introduction available on the "Working
with Government" section of the CMF website;

•

Is developing a handbook on public policy for foundations and nonprofits in partnership with
MNA. The handbook will provide the what, why and how of public policy engagement;
relevant rules and regulations; examples of strategies and outcomes from CMF and MNA
members; and an in-depth interview with Pat Babcock. CMF and MNA will distribute the
handbook to their members and make it available for free on their websites.

•

Is offering 19 sessions on the Committee's six focus issues at the 31st Annual Conference and
providing all Conference attendees with a handout introducing them to public policy
engagement, publication of the Handbook and resources available on the Working with
Government section of the CMF website.

•

Is developing content for the Working with Government section of the CMF website in order
to: ( 1) provide member and nonmember foundations with basic information about the
Committee's six issues, current grants and public-private partnerships focused on these
issues, resources, glossaries of terms and links; and (2) attract legislators, legislative staff,
department directors, and the media to this area to inform them about CMF members'

�Public Policy Activities
October 31, 2003
Page 2

perspectives on and activities in these six areas. The new section will be available for
preview at the Annual Conference.
•

Is planning two Briefings for 2004: a March briefing with Sharon Gire, Office of Services for
the Aging, and a late spring briefing on Corrections.

•

Is working with the Family Foundations' Be Ready by Five group, and the Foundation
Liaison on an April2004 Forum for Grantmakers and Policymakers on Early Childhood in
order to: (l) raise awareness, educate, and motivate participants to learn more about and
support early childhood; and (2) foster relationships between grantmakers and state officials
to support information sharing and cooperation.

•

Has published public policy articles in each issue of Memo to Members, The Michigan
Gran/making Scene, and E-News. Spring and Summer 2003 issues included articles on the
new Foundation Liaison, workforce development, land use, community health, children and
families.

Goal Two- to help members build relationships with State Officials &amp; Policy Makers
Recent activities in this area include:
•

With support from The Skillman Foundation, Public Sector Consultants is conducting
interviews with ten new legislators in order to obtain information that can help us improve
our communications and relationship-building strategies for this important audience.

II. Land Use Leadership Council
The Michigan Land Use Leadership Council, for which CMF has served as fiscal agent,
completed its work in August and issued its report to the Governor, Senate Majority Leader
Sykema, and Speaker of the House Johnson. The Report includes more than 150
recommendations, and the Governor is expected to announce her initial eight executive orders on
November 3. She will likely talk about the Council in her remarks at the Atumal Conference on
November 12. The Legislature is still determining their legislative priorities from the Council
Report.
An additional $46,810 has been obtained from the six members that funded the Council (Mott,
Kellogg, Frey, Dow, Americana and Wege) for a short-term communications plan through
January 2004 with Pace &amp; Pattners, a Lansing public relations firm that will insure the
Highlights piece -note back pocket - is well distributed to key stakeholders statewide. These
activities will focus on informing the public and policy makers on the work of the Council but
not advance any particular recommendation.

ill. Foundation Liaison Office
We are pleased to include the initial progress report- starting with Overview- for the period
April 1 through September 30 prepared by Karen Aldridge-Eason, Foundation Liaison for the
Governor. T his report has been provided to the initial funders of this office - the HudsonWebber Foundation, the McGregor Fund, the Mott Foundation, the Kellogg Foundation, the
Kresge Foundation, and the Skillman Foundation.

Rob talks with Karen at least weekly. The ftrst meeting of the Advisory Conunittee followed the
June Board Meeting at the McGregor Center on the campus of Wayne State. The second
meeting of the Committee- made up of the funders plus Chuck Wilbur, Director of Policy for
the Governor, will occur in November by conference call.
OVERVIEW
The Office of the Foundation Liaison was established in April, 2003, through a joint effort
between the Governor and several foundation leaders as an opportunity to increase strategic
partnerships that focus on the common interest of foundations and state govenunent. A special
emphasis was placed on identifying partnerships in the areas of improving early childhood and
land use management - two of Governor Granholm's top priorities and areas of significant
interest to the philanthropic community.
Since starting on April 28, 2003, activity has focused on the four programmatic objectives (and
one administrative objective) specified in the original proposal, as well as the Foundation Liaison
Work Plan, which was approved by the Foundation Liaison Advisory Committee on June 6,
2003. Highlights of activities and developments in the defined objectives for the period ending
September 30, 2003, are as follows:

set-up files, developed relationships with key Executive office and CMF staff, and
attend appropriate administrative meetings; and
Hired Maura Dewan, effective September 2, 2003, as a program associate to assist me
in meeting the objectives of the Foundation Liaison Work Plan.

CLOSING
During this first six months, considerably more time than expected has been spent fielding
general inquiries about the purpose of the office, clarifying assumptions regarding the type and
amount of support that is potentially available from the philanthropic community, and offering
advice and contact information to assist state agencies and nonprofits in responding to the fiscal
crisis that exists as a result of the severe cuts in state funding. We are beginning to work with
state officials (Treasury and Management &amp; Budget) to develop a safety net that will allow us to
refer state agencies and nonprofit staff to outside expertise for grant-writing training, strategic
planning, including review of missions, goals and objectives, fund development, and
consideration of mergers, anJ/ur collaborations as slate revenues continue to dedim:.

Rob Collier, President

Re:

Recommendations for Guiding Principles and Effective Practices Document

cc:

Members of the Task Force

The Principles and Practices Task Force met in July and had conference calls in August and
September. The charge to the Task Force was:
• To update the 1997 CMF Principles and Practices document after reviewing the 2002
Principles and Practices document of the Council on Foundations and considering the
changes to the field of philanthropy since 1997, and
• To recommend to the Board of Trustees if the Principles and Practices should become a
co ndition of membership.

The Task Force has completed its work and offers the following two resolutions for Board
consideration and action.
RESOLVED that the Guiding Principles and Effective Practices document as
attached be adopted, and
RESOLVED further that the Guiding Principles (page 2 in the attached) become a
condition of membership in the Council of Michigan Foundations effective Aprill,
2004.

Background
In reviewing the 1997 Principles and Practices document the Task Force determined:
1. The Principle addressing compliance with state and federal laws should be moved to the
Preamble. Obeying the law is more than a principle.
2. The Preamble should reinforce the charitable nature of philanthropy.
3. The Principles dealing with grantmaking and communications should be combined with
governance.
4. A code of ethics should be added to the Principle on ethical behavior.
5. The revised Guiding Principles should be treated separately from the Effective Practices
in considering the Guiding Principles a condition of membership in CMF.

Council of
M ichigan
Foundat ions

Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving.

2003 DRAFT III
Council of Michigan Foundations
A Statement on Guiding Principles
&amp; Effective Practices
Michigan is blessed with a tradition of philanthropic giving. This is demonstrated in part by the
more than 2,000 family, independent, community and corporate foundations documented in the
111
13 Edition of The Michigan Foundation Directory, published in 2002 by the Council of
Michigan Foundations (CMF) with the Foundation Center ofNew York. These foundations are
vital partners with the public, private and nonprofit sectors in strengthening the quality of life for
all Michigan residents. This tradition continues in our state evety month with the creation of
new foundations and community foundation donor advised funds.
Foundations are recognized as tax exempt 501 (c) (3) charitable organizations in the federal
government's Internal Revenue Code. It is the charitable nature of their purpose that allows for
this tax status. Thus foundation trustees and, where they exist, staff need to be both conscientious
and well informed.
CMF and its members recognize that all Michigan foundations with this SOl(c) (3) status must
be accountable to federal and state laws and to the responsibilities of being a fiduciary and of tax
exemption. It is imperative that foundation trustees be familiar with all federal and state legal
requirements, including the annual filing of 990 PF and 990 reports and such subjects as the
private foundation payout, excise tax and self-dealing. Legal counsel should be consulted if there
are questions about applicable state and federal laws.
CMF is often contacted by individuals and their advisors considering the formation of a family,
independent or corporate foundation (hereafter referred to as grantmakers/grantmaking
organization) and asking for guiding principles to help them get started. Members of CMF also
request guidance on principles to consider when assessing the operational effectiveness of their
foundations. As a result, the CMF Board of Trustees has adopted the following Principles that
are highlighted in bold. These Principles have been adopted in recognition of the need for all
foundations to strive to maintain the public trust in fulfilling their respective charitable purposes.

�I. Guiding Principles
The members of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) subscribe to these Guiding
Principles as a condition of membership. These Principles set forth ideals that each member
agrees to work to achieve and demonstrate in the operations of their foundations. The Guiding
Principles address the question often asked by the public- what do foundations stand for?

I.

Honor donor(s) intent for the foundation (or donor advised fund)

2. Have an identifiable active governing Board - a decision-making body - that sets and
regularly reviews policies on: governance, including conflict of interest; grantmaking;
finance and administration, including audit; and communications
3. Be accessible by having basic grantmaking information regarding funding priorities,
and application requirements, readily available
4. Build constructive relationships based on mutual respect, candor, confidentiality and
understanding with the public, applicants, grantees and donors
5. Strive to include the perspectives, opinions and experiences of the broadest possible
cross-section of people to inform the foundation through its grantmaking, by
membership on its board, committees, staff and advisors/consultants and through its
business practices
6. Support continuous lea rning by trustees, staff and grantees
7. Adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior in all foundation actions

�II. Effective Practices
The Board recognizes that there are different approaches to implementation of each Principle.
Therefore, examples of effective practices are presented, that have proven to be beneficial to
grantmakers in achieving each Principle. Because some of these practices are unique to specific
types of grantmakers, it is intended that grantmakers adapt the practices that best suit their
operational requirements. Intended to be instructional, these practices are updated regularly in
order to share what works well for grantmakers. Other examples of practices and materials to
implement each Principle are available from CMF. Additional examples are always welcome.
1. Honor donor(s) intent for the foundation (or d onor advised fund)

Provide all trustees with copies of the documents creating the foundation/fund and any other
written correspondence, which details the donor's goals and expectations for the foundation
Have donor(s) talk with the board about their goals and expectations- their purpose in creating
the charitable foundation, ideally videotaping the conversation for future reference and
generations
State the donor's intent in every annual report and other appropriate foundation publications
If our changing society makes following the donor' s specific instructions impractical, find
related alternative grantmaking goals that reasonably honor the donor's intent
2. Have a u identifiable active governing Board - a decision-making body - that sets and
regula rly reviews policies on: governance, including conflict of interest; grantmaking;
finance and administration, including audit; and communications
Qualifications to consider for board members include:
-agreeability with the stated purposes of the Foundation/Donor,
-willingness to participate actively,
-policy, programmatic and fiscal experience,
-commitment to the integrity of the grantmaking process,
-reputation for fairness and equality,
-philosophy, gender, race, ethnicity and socio-economic status, and
-willingness to become informed.
Orient new board members to their responsibilities by sharing the three duties of care, loyalty,
and obedience as well as copies of bylaws and other organizational documents; adopted policies;
examples of grants and communication tools suclh as annual reports
If trustee compensation is provided, consider the appropriateness of fees in relation to
responsibilities, time commitment and the federal guidelines for public charities on intermediate
sanctions and rebuttal presumption
Administrative expenses for effective grantmaking should be based on regional and national
surveys and not be excessive or disproportionate to the amounts spent directly for grants and
technical assistance to grantees

�A conflict of interest policy to ensure that personal interests of board members and staff do not
conflict with the foundation's mission and purpose may include:
-Disclosure of organizational affiliations with grantees, potential grantees or other
constituents or vendors with whom the foundation does business,
-Procedures for decision-making when a board member or employee has a real or
perceived conflict of interest,
- Policies on acceptance of honorariums from a grantee or a potential grantee.
Adopt mechanisms, such as grant agreement letters, required progress reports, and evaluation
tools to assess progress in achieving grantmaking objectives
Establish a process for the regular review of the board's perfonnance as a body and of each
trustee individually
3. Be accessible by having basic grantmaking information regarding funding priorities,
and application requirements, readily available.
Select and publicize the name and contact infonnation for the foundation's primary contact
person for the foundation
Provide a full and clear description of the foundation ' s grantmaking priorities through a print or
electronic brochure that should include:
mission and goals,
program interests, funding priorities and any restrictions on what is supported,
geographic limitations,
preferred format for applications,
application deadlines and the process for acknowledge and receipt of requests
dates and process for notifying applicants of a decision
a list of grants made in the previous year,
policies and practices for multi-year funding, and
average size and range of grants made.
Produce an annual report with format, detail and dissemination appropriate to the size and
complexity of the foundation, including:
• names of board members,
• names and titles of officers,
• listing of staff,
• grants for the fiscal year
• grantmaking priorities and application process, and
• summary of audited financial information
• contact information for the foundation
Make information available to the Foundation Center and CMF, in order that the grantmaker's
goals and priorities may be published in appropriate public foundation directories

�4. Build constructive relationships based on mutual respect, candor, confidentiality and
understanding with the public, applicants, grantees and donors
Share with the public the grantmaking priorities of the foundation and respond promptly to all
requests for information
Use a postcard or email message to promptly acknowledge receipt of a proposal
Send a timely denial letter to those applicants that are unsuccessful and where appropriate
indicate a willingness to discuss with the applicant why the proposal has been turned down
Include in the grant award letter: payment procedures, reporting requirements and the nature of
any monitoring that will take place
Inform grantees when their pictures or products will be featured in a foundation publication,
website or other communications tool
Advise grantees, applicants and the public within a reasonable period of time on significant
changes in grantmaking priorities or procedures

5. Strive to include the perspectives, opinions and experiences of the broadest possible
cross-section of people to inform the foundation through its grantmaking, by
m embership on its boa1·d, committees, staff and advisors/consultants and through its

business practices
Consider the demographics of the geographic area served when nominating board members,
hiring staff and selecting consultants
Adopt a policy to support vendors that are minority and women owned or that have hiring and
training practices that aid under represented groups
Invite grantees and other conununity representatives to help with a periodic review of
grantmaking priorities
Appoint youth grantmakers ages 16 and 17 as voting board members, now being done by
community foundations since the 1998 passage of Public Act 444 in Michigan

6. Support continuous learning on the part of trustees, staff and grantees
Invite grantees to share lessons learned from proj ects at a foundation board meeting
Have trustees and staff participate in site visits to grantees and current or potential applicants
Invite other grantmakers to participate in board/staff retreats or learning exchanges
Participate in local or regional geographic meetings of grantmakers to exchange ideas and hear
from informed speakers

�Encourage trustees and staff to annually attend one grantmaking educational conference or
internet based training
Join organized support groups, such as your regional association of grantmakers (CMF), Council
on Foundations, Independent Sector, Philanthropy Roundtable, National Network of
Grantmakers, and one of the many affinity groups of grantmakers with common issues ranging
from education to the arts to AIDS.

7. Adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior in all foundation actions
Adopt a code of ethics, by committing to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Act honestly, truthfully, consistently and with integrity and independence in all
transactions and dealings
Avoid conflicts of interest and the inappropriate handling of actual or apparent conflicts
of interest in relationships
Treat grantees fairly and to treat every individual with dignity and respect, regardless of
such factors as race, religion, gender and sexual preference
Treat employees with respect, fairness and good faith and provide conditions of
employment that safeguard their rights and welfare
Act responsibly toward the communities in which the foundation works and for the
benefit of the communities the foundation serves
Be responsible, transparent, and accow1table for all actions taken in the public's interest
Improve the accountability, transparency, ethical conduct and effectiveness ofthe
grantmaking field
Work to improve the understanding of philanthropy, its appropriate application and
potential consequences

1:\RCOLLIER\C MFBOARD\Principles &amp; Practices\2003\2003 DRAFT ll l.doc

�Recommended Principles and Practices for Effective Grantmaking
- Approved by the Counci l on Foundations' Board of Directors on June 25, 2002

The Principles and Practices statement is an important priority of membership in the Council on Foundations, since Council
members subscribe to these principles as a condition of their membership. The statement sets forth well-recognized ideals
for good practice that each member supports and is working to achieve.

Members of the Council on Foundations subscribe to the following principles and practices:
Preamble. Foundations and corporate giving programs reflect philanthropic impulses to
promote the public good. We recognize the wide diversity of philanthropic goals. We also
strive to respect donors' charitable intentions expressed in organizational charters and core
documents as we apply our philanthropic resources to contemporary social conditions. We
attend to the future through prudent stewardship of financial and other resources and we
recognize that accountability calls for openness, responsiveness, fairness and trust. In
short, we hold ourselves responsible to those who created us, those with whom we currently
interact and those who may look to us in the future.
Clear Goals and Procedures
Clarity of Purpose. We establish policies and procedures that define our program interests
and our fundamental objectives.
Governing Body. An identifiable board, committee or other decision-making body is
responsible for establishing and implementing our policies and procedures and reviewing
and revising them on a regular basis.
Grantmaking Procedures. We establish and follow clear processes for receiving, reviewing
and acting on grant applications that are consistent with our policies and purposes. We
communicate openly with grantseekers about our grantmaking policies and procedures.
We make readily available a brief written statement about policies, program interests,
grantmaking practices, geographic and policy restrictions and preferred ways of receiving
applications. It is important that grantseekers whose proposals fall outside our interests are
notified in a timely manner and that those whose proposals are still under consideration are
informed of the steps and timing that will be taken in reaching the final decision.
Informing the Public. All forms required by government are completed accurately and
filed in a timely manner. In addition, we inform the public about our activities through
various means such as publication of periodic reports (including annual reports, newsletters
and reports to national and local organizations that publish information on grantmaking)
and through electronic and other communications channels.
Legal Knowledge
Complying with the law is essential and we recognize that inadvertent violations can occur if
the basic legal rules are not understood. We pr ovide for adequate training and ongoing legal
advice to ensure that our governing board and staff are well informed.
Accountability

1:\Scuddington\Board ofTrustees\Principals &amp; Practices\2003\7-18-03 Meeting in
Novi\COFPrinciples&amp;PracticesJune2002.doc

�Ethical Behavior. Accountability extends beyond the requirements of the law. We establish
and carry out policies that recognize multiple obligations for accountability: to the charter
provisions by which our donors defined basic expectations, to the charitable institutions we
serve, to the general public and to appropriate national and local governmental agencies.
Self-Evaluation. We regularly review our program interests and operating policies, the
composition of our boards and staffs and the overall effectiveness of our grantmaking.
Conflicts of Interest. Beyond the legal requirements that forbid staff, board members and
their families from profiting financially from any philanthropic grant or activity, we weigh
carefully all circumstances in which there exists the possibility or appearance of conflict of
interest. Our policies require staff and board members to disclose to their governing bodies
the nature of any personal or family affiliation or involvement with any organization for
which a grant is considered, even though such affiliation may not give rise to any financial
or other conflict of interest.
Addressing Change
We are alert and responsive to the changing conditions in society and to the evolving needs
of grantseeking organizations. In responding to new challenges, we use the knowledge,
experience and insight of other individuals and groups to complement the guidance of those
persons, families or corporations from which our funds originally came.
Diversity
We affirm and value human diversity in its many forms. We seek diversity to ensure that a
range of perspectives, opinions and experiences is recognized and acted upon to enhance
our ability to contribute to the common good in our changing society. We reflect this
diversity in multiple ways, such as through our grantmaking, through membership on our
boards, committees, staffs and advisors, and through our business practices.
Constructive Relationships
Grantseekers. The relationship between grantmaker and grantseeker is based on mutual
respect, candor and understanding. We strive to ensure that each invests the necessary
t im e and attention to define clearly the purposes of the grant, the expectations as to reports
related to financial and other matters and the provisions for evaluating and publicizing
results. Beyond providing financial support, many grantmakers offer guidance to
grantseekers such as assistance in refining objectives, monitoring performance, evaluating
outcomes, strengthening board governance and encouraging early planning for the future.
Colleague Organizations. We interact with others in the field of philanthropy to exchange
information, further our missions and advance the role of philanthropy in society.

Minutes - June 6, 2003

Government Relations Report
Committee Co-chair Libby Maynard and Rob Collier reviewed the status of the House version of the CARE
Act, which includes the IRA Charitable Rollover and Simplification of the Excise Tax to a flat one percentboth CMF legislative goals. Congressmen Camp and Levin on the Ways and Means Committee are
supporters. The Bill also contains a provision to exclude administrative expenses as part of the payout
calculation for private foundations- a provision which the Committee is recommending CMF not support.
Ms. Maynard noted that in the past 60 days there have been a number of stories in the media on excess
compensation and self-dealing by foundations. These stories have exacerbated the feelings by certain
members of Congress that the foundation community and nonprofit sector are doing an inadequate job of
self-regulation. With less than 120 of the more than 56,000 foundations in the U.S. being audited by the
exempt division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) last year, these articles have also drawn attention to
the poor job of enforcement being done by the IRS. Despite strong recommendations from the foundation
community that the funds generated by the excise tax on private foundations should be used for enforcement
by the IRS, Congress seems little inclined to give the IRS "new teeth." The provision to strip all
administrative expenses from the payout calculation is being talked about as one way to force foundations to
keep administrative expenses in check.
Mr. Collier noted that the 1997 payout study prepared for CMF by Cambridge Associates determined that

the 5% payout rate was appropriate to insure perpetuity. However, the Senate version of the CARE Act
includes a 12% payout rate specifically for the Walton Family that could help negotiators in Conference

Committee force a higher payout rate for all private foundations. He added that negotiators for the Council
on Foundations (COF) were resisting the idea of a higher payout rate and focusing on a tighter definition of
allowable grantmaking expenses. Once compromise language is agreed on, CMF members will be
encouraged to write to their members of Congress urging support. The Trustees offered a number of
suggestions including writing an op-ed piece and posting great grants on the CMF website.
Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the 2003
House Version of the CARE Act be supported because it includes the IRA Charitable Rollover
and simplification of the excise tax to a flat one percent- two of CMF's legislative goals.
RESOLVED further that the proposal in the CARE Act to eliminate all administrative expenses
from the payout calculation be opposed and the following recommendations be approved as
presented to the Council on Foundations and as appropriate to Members ofthe House Ways and
Means Committee:
1. Congress should increase the reporting requirements for private foundations in the
Annual 990 PF to specifically identify and describe all types of executive compensation,
as well as compensation and other payments being received by family members and
disqualified persons.

2. While the self-dealing regulations for private foundations are tougher than the
Intermediate Sanctions for public charities, the penalties for public charities are much
heavier than for private foundations violating the self-dealing regulations. Congress
should create a two-tier excise tax penalty, when disqualified persons receive excessive
compensation or other above fair market value payments from foundations, on selfdealing to match the penalty level on the Intermediate Sanctions regulations.

�CMF Board of Trustees Meeting
Minutes - June 6, 2003
Page 5

3. The regulations under Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code that deal with the
Intermediate Sanctions on excessive compensation and other insider dealings in public
charities, has a process described as a "rebutable presumption" that sets forth
procedures for establishing appropriate compensation. This process should be
incorporated into the self-dealing regulations by amending Section 4941.
4. Congress should require that the IRS present an annual oversight report to Congress
that would inform both Congress and the foundatio n community on the monitoring and
policing of the rare cases of excessive compensation and self-dealing.
5. Similar categories of expenses as applied to public charities by the Internal Revenue
Code should be required of private foundations: grant making and program services;
management and general administration; and--in lieu of fundraising--investment
expenses. The public charity rules recognize that program expenses are properly
distinguishable from general administrative expenses. This proposal should be
introduced with a three-year sunset provision with the requirement that the IRS
provide an oversight report to Congress on the impact that this p roposal is having on
both payout and reporting of administrative expenses.
Ms. Rosenberg highlighted accomplislunents of the Public Policy Committee and announced Brian
Flahaven will be the first CMF Fellow in Public Policy &amp; Philanthropy thanks to a three-year grant from the
W.K . Ke llogg Foundation_ This May, Rrian received his Master's Degree from the Ford School ofPuhl ic
Policy at the University of Michigan. He will work with CMF for one year beginning June 30.

31g Annual Conference Report
Diana Sieger, Annual Conference Program Committee Co-Chair, highlighted a few of the events planned: a
site visit to the Dorothy A. Johnson Center on Philanthropy, Boston College Corporate Grantmaking
Workshop, expe rienced grantmakers seminar, integrated sessions for all types of foundations, and engaging
plenary sessions. Ms. Sieger noted though foundations are finding it difficult to spend money on
conferences in these econornic times, the Annual Conference is designed to support and strengthen all of our
efforts. Ms. Rosenberg commented on efforts to formalize the sponsorship process by offering four
different levels and invited Trustees to help promote the sponsorship opportunities.
Mr. Collier noted that contracts with sites for the Annual Conference in 2006-8 need to be completed this
sunune r. He indicated that while CMF currently has a signed contract with the Grand Traverse Resort for
the 2005 Annual Conference, the property has been bought by the Tribe and a casino operation is expected
to be in place by the time of the Conference. There was consensus by the Board to not have the Conference
at a Casino property and to explore the feasibility of moving the 2005 Conference from the Resort. In terms
of other sites, there was consensus by the Board to have the Annual Conference take place at Mackinac
Island again.
Ms. Rosenberg introduced the issues of the month of the Conference and the days of the week. There was
consensus to keep the Monday through Wednesday format ofthe Annual Conference, which allows for the
Family Foundations Retreat to be held inu11ediately before, and to look at dates earlier in the fall as opposed
to the first week of November.

Family Philanthropy Report

Committee Chair Julie Cummings noted that a summer reception for family foundations is being planned at
her home in Charlevoix. She hopes that CMF can offer a members reception in Florida in the winter of
2004. The Family Foundations Committee will meet via conference call this summer.
Susan Howbert commented on the Next Generation Conference call series, facilitated by Bob Selverstone,
Ph.D., that focused on issues critical to successful family foundation Board functioning. A document will
be produced with helpful hints for small family foundations to survive and thrive. Two Coffee and
Conversations Meetings in Flint and Grand Rapids have offered a time for family foundations to come
together and focus on early childhood education issues.
The Family Foundations Retreat is scheduled for the weekend before the Annual Conference. Ginny
Esposito, President, National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP), and Kelin Gersick, Senior Partner,
Lansberg, Gersick &amp; Associates, have been invited to be presenters. Peggy Thompson, Trustee, Herbert H.
&amp; Grace A. Dow Foundation and CMF Trustee, has graciously offered to host a dinner on Saturday night
for the Retreat participants.
Community Foundations Committee Report

Committee Chair Diana Sieger noted that the Committee meets via conference call every other month, with
two face-to-face meetings per year. Donnell Mersereau summarized the two marketing portfolios being
developecl hy the Research &amp; Development Committee: the TRA Charitable Rollover, and Tools for Giving
scheduled for release at the Council on Foundations Annual Community Foundations Conference in
Baltimore this October.
Corporate Philanthropy Report

Susan Howbert highlighted the success of the Boston College courses for corporate members. In the past 11
months, CMF has offered three of these courses to corporate grantmakers, co-sponsored by General Motors,
AAA and Comerica. Over 20 members of southeast Michigan's corporate grantmaking community will be
receiving their Certificate of Corporate Community Relations having completed three of the courses. In
addition she noted that CMF had partnered again with the Michigan Chamber of Commerce on the May
edition of its magazine, Michigan Forward, featuring five stories on corporate philanthropy.
Leadership Committee for Diversity &amp; Inclusion Report

Committee Co-Chairs, Libby Cherin and Gerald Smith noted that the 16 member Committee held a very
successful planning retreat in May at the Fetzer Institute. Their goal was to become a unified leadership
team. The Committee's ideas for next steps are agreeing to definitions for "diversity" and for "inclusion",
finalizing Committee membership to insure statewide coverage, developing a session for the 2003 Ammal
Conference, developing core messages; participating in diversity training as a Committee, and creating a
baseline for diversity and inclusion among Michigan grantmakers.
Learning to Give (LTG) Report

Executive Director Kathy Agard presented strategies, recommended by the National Steering Committee, to
help LTG with its fund development efforts: to seek individual donor support - with challenge gifts totaling
$30,000 already pledged to launch this effort; selling, at a profit, hard copies of lessons, briefing papers, and

�CMF Board of Trustees Meeting
Minutes - June 6, 2003

other educational materials currently given away for free; and implementing a fee schedule for providing
consultation.
Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the Learning to Give fund development strategies as recommended by the
National Steering Committee be approved.
Dr. Agard also noted that the National Steering Committee has approved the addition of civic engagement
skills to the Philanthropy and Civil Society theme. She said this is in response to national concern about
young people's lack of political/electoral engagement, and to U.S. high school students' low scores on
American history on standardized tests. Learning to Give offers the content and the political process skills
being called for by major national groups.
President's Report
Mr. Collier introduced Jared DeBacker, Mawby Intem, who presented an overview of the Annual Youth

Leadership Conference for youth grantmakers scheduled for June 20-22 at Central Michigan University.
Youth will participate in an Ethics Bowl, an interactive workshop on Best Practices, and an evaluation
workshop led by students from the University of Michigan. Guests are expected from Colorado, Ohio,
Indiana, California, and Florida.
Mr. Collier invited Gail Powers-Schaub, Director Information Services &amp; Technology, to update the
Trustees on the redesigned website. She displayed some of the new features on the website including the
member roster, online librarian, and over 400 sample documents. Ms. Powers-Schaub commented that Kari
Pardoe has taken the lead with a separate web site for youth-- www.youthgrantmakers.org, sponsored by
the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project.
Mr. Collier distributed the new issue of The Michigan Grantmaking Scene, which features partnerships with

state government, and complimented Vicki Rosenberg and staff for their efforts.
Sandy Hughes, Executive Consultant for BoardSource
Chair Campbell introduced special guest Sandy Hughes. Mr. Collier commented that 50 members, including
the Boards of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation and the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation,
participated in two very successful Advanced Governance Workshops led by Ms. Hughes in Grand Rapids
and Detroit the two days prior to the Board Meeting.
Ms. Hughes commented first on the state of nonprofit governance, noting:
• State of nonprofit governance is in tough shape due to corporate scandals, 9111
• Organizations' values statements are under scrutiny
• Association governance studies are 50 years outdated. Need to look at accountability
• There is a shortage of 3 million nonprofit board members in the U.S. based on the Governance Index
Study by Stanford &amp; BoardSource
• The average board consists of 15 members and is getting smaller. Community foundation average
size is 17; family foundation average size is 5 to 7. Best size for learning is 9 to 13 members
• Every nonprofit should change auditors every 3 years

�CMF Board of Trustees Meeting
Minutes - June 6, 2003
Page 8

Ms. Hughes offered recommendations and suggestions for the CMF Board, commenting:
• Dave Campbell does an excellent job as Chair - he leads very quietly and keeps members on task
• Recognizing accomplishments of Trustees at the start of the meeting is a good strategy
• The Strategic Plan is outstanding
• The discussion on the Audit Report was excellent - most Board Members don't know how to read a
financial statement
• The explanatory notes provided in the audit are excellent. The quality of financial information
provided to the CMF board is better than most she sees
• Evaluate the size of the Board - average attendance is 18, CMF's Board is 28
• Post the Minutes and Agenda on the Members section of the website
• Change the Bylaws by removing specific committees - allow for creation as needed
• Change title of the nominating committee to governance/trustee development
o The Committee can help grow the Board (cultivates, identifies, orientation, &amp; recruits)
o Set up a Board education program with a related line item in the budget
o Role of committee is to help rotate the Board (serves as the conscience of the Board). The
Group could suggest a board self-assessment process using the BoardSource template.
• Review Board Structure - if the board is a team, is it necessary to have three Vice-Chairs? The
CMF staff working in these areas might be enough.
• Use a Consent Agenda so reports are not reviewed and more time is available for productive
discussions like the one today on the CARE Act.
Mr. Campbell asked Ann Irish, Chair ofthe Nominating Committee, to convene her Committee this summer

and report back to the Board on Sandy Hughes recommendations.
Adjournment

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees will take place Sunday, November 9, 2003
immediately prior to the 31 st Annual Conference at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids.
There being no further business to come before the Board, Chair Campbell adjourned the meeting
at 12:05 p.m. for lunch which featured a briefwelcome from the President of Wayne State University,
Dr. Irvin Reid.

The Boston College course originally planned to be offered during the 2003 CMF Annual Conference
has been postponed due to low registration. The course "Communicating and Branding Corporate
Citizenship" will be hosted by the G. M. Foundation at G. M. University in Detroit.
Information Services
This section of the Report summarizes progress with the three-year technology plan.
Internal &amp; External Technology Enhancements
Eleven workstations have been replaced. A software baseline of all workstations was developed and
implemented, to increase standardization, and ease maintenance and troubleshooting. The design
specifications for the new network have been developed, and implementation of the redesigned
network is underway. Three servers were replaced and two servers added along with increased
facility for remote support and improved security. As part of this change, a new, more logical
structure for shared fil e design and access along with a Virtual Private Network for remote access to
calendar, e-mail, and programs for remote and traveling staff has been implemented.
Staff Training
Each position description at CMF and the det1ned technology skill sets needed to successfully carry
out each job have been defined and reviewed. An assessment of each staff person has been
conducted to determine the training needed to successfully perform each job function. NPower has
been retained to deliver personalized group training for CMF staff beginning in December over a six
to nine month period.
Membership Database
As a preliminary step to this project, staff has been working on a general clean -up of the membership
data, in preparation for a new logical structure and increased use of the data for membership
development and retention. Over the next several months, the focus will be on making the
membership database easier to use and more logical in facilitating member services.
Collaboration Tools
We hope to be able to provide a short demonstrat ion at the Board Meeting of the shared web
workspace that will have a place for the Board to communicate, as well as ail committees and
taskforces.
Website Enhancements
The website has been redesigned with a focus on serving members and promoting their grantmaking.
The site has improved functionality including searchability, downloadable grantmaking sample
documents, a searchable member roster, secure online registration and surveys, database driven
news, member publication and calendar pages, and an enhanced Working with Government area.
The web trends report for April through September indicates more than 166,000 page views and over
25,000 publications downloaded, a substantial increase from last year which is attributable to the
new website design.

A part-time consultant has been retained to maintain the website and advance technology products
and services for members. Features to be added to the CMF website this year include, a database

From:

Ann K. Irish, Chair, Nominating Committee
Rob Collier, President

Re:

The Nominating Committee met by conference call on August 20, September 15 and September
30, for the purposes of: recommending a slate of officers to the Board for 2004; presenting
Trustees for the Class of2006 for election by the membership; and reviewing the
recommendations of Sandra Hughes from Board Source presented at the June 2003 Board
Meeting.
I. Officers for 2003-04
The Nominating Committee is pleased to present the following slate of Officers for one-year
appointments. We are grateful to them for their w illingness to serve.
RESOLVED that the following individuals be elected to the offices as specified for a oneyear term effective November 13, 2003.
• Chair, S. Martin Taylor, Vice President &amp; Director, DTE Energy Foundation
• Vice Chair Community Foundations, Diana R. Sieger, President, Grand Rapids
Community Foundation

Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation
• Secretary - Kari Schlachtenhaufen, President &amp; CEO, The Skillman Foundation
• Treasurer- Lloyd J . Yeo, President, Wickson-Link Memorial Foundation
• President- Robert S. Collier
RESOLVED further, that the actions of the Committee on the Class of 2006 and
recommendations in response to the recommendations of Sandra Hughes of BoardSource,
as detailed below, be accepted.
II. Class of 2006
The names of eight individuals have been presented to the membership for election to the Board
for a three-year term ending in 2006. We are delighted the following six trustees have agreed to
serve for an additional term:
• Herbert D. Doan, Chainnan, The Herbert H. &amp; Grace A. Dow Foundation

�Nominating Conunittee Report
October 31, 2003
Page 2

After considering a number of qualified candidates, the Committee is grateful that the following
two individuals accepted its invitation to stand for election as members of the Class of 2006:
•
•

David K. Page, Chairman, The Jewish Fund, Detroit
David S. Sebastian, Executive Director/Trustee, Sebastian Foundation, Grand Rapids

Brief bios on these two individuals as presented to the Me mbersh ip on the Election ballot are
attached. These new nominees replace Bob Aronson and Jolm Frey who have decl ined to serve
for another term. The Committee has decided to not fill Ira Strumwasser's position at this time as
noted below .

III. Recommendations from Sandra Hughes
At the June 6 Board Meeting, Sandra Hughes, Executive Consultant from BoardSource,
presented the following reconm1endations on the Board of Trustees size and operations:
Evaluate the size of the Board - average attendance is 18, the Board is 27.
Committee recommendation - Because the bylaws call for a Board of 17 to 27, the Co11m1ittee
agrees with Ms. Hughes and recommends that the Board be allowed to decrease in size to 25
over the next year.
Review Board Structure - if the Board is a team, is it necessary to have three Vice Chairs? The
staff working in these areas might be enough.
Committee recommendation - Continue the three Vice Chairs positions and fill as appropriate.
With the election of Martin Taylor as Chair, it is recommended that the Vice Chair Corporate not
be filled for this year.
Change the Bylaws by removing specific committees - allow for creation as needed
Committee recommendation - Because there are only three required committees in the bylaws Executive, Nominating and Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project- the Committee
does not feel that it is necessary to change the Bylaws at this time.
Change title of the Nominating Committee to governance/trustee development. The Committee
can help grow the Board (cultivates, identifies, orients &amp; recruits new Trustees). The role ofthe
Cot1m1ittee is to help rotate the Board (serves as the conscience of the Board). The Committee
could help set up a Board education program and/or suggest a board self-assessment process
using the BoardSource template.
Committee recommendation - The Committee agrees that the name of the Committee be
changed to Governance without changing the title of the Committee in the bylaws. The
Committee further recommends that staff present a recommended self-assessment tool to the
Board using the BoardSource template.

II. Committee Meetings

The Committee met on August 27'h and October 8'h and focused its discussion on the following
three areas.
Dues Increase Implementation 2004-05
The Committee recommended that members be notified this fall about the pending dues increase
and that a constituent specific Fact Sheet be developed. An example of the mailing to Family
Foundation members is attached.
Operating Foundations Dues Structure
To address the issue of operating foundations underpaying dues, four options were presented for
discussion: I) pay minimum dues ($300); 2) pay dues based on budget; 3) pay dues based on
grants paid minimum ($9RO); and 4) pay dues hased on assets. After thoughtful deliberation, the

Committee recommended that dues be based on assets, which is the Council on Foundations and
CMF's current policy. Management may use its discretion in bringing under-payees into
compliance.
Recruitment
The Committee agreed that current recruitment efforts should center on the Fifth Annual Family
Foundations Retreat and 31 81 Annual Conference in Grand Rapids, November 8-12.

•

•

•

On September 19, a memo was sent to six Grand Rapids-based members that asked for
their assistance to invite non-members to the aforementioned activities. Subsequently,
four packets of information were sent under Judy &amp; Bob Hooker's signatures with
personal notes to three family foundations and one corporate grantmaker.
A letter with Retreat and Conference registration materials was sent to 13 of the top
financial planning and estate advisors in the Grand Rapids area inviting them to promote
these two educational experiences with clients that have foundations.
Using a list of corporate grantmakers in the Grand Rapids area generously shared by Judy
Frey, 150 letters were sent September 25 under S. Martin Taylor, DTE Energy's
signature to encourage attendance at the special Boston College course for corporate
grantmakers. Note- this course had to be cancelled due to low enrollment.

In addition a large postcard reminder was sent in mid-October to all Members and Non-member
grantmakers promoting the Conference.

�Date:
Inside address:

Dear:
Thank you for your continuing membership in the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF)! Your support, added to that of more than 400 other
foundations and corporate g iving programs, has made it possible for CMF to
provide new and expanded services to grantmakers.
At the same time, we have "tightened our belts" and reduced staff in the past two
years by the equivalent of three full-time employees. However, the Board of
Trustees is dealing with the reality that there has not been a CMF membership dues
increase in nine years, therefore an adjustment must begin in 2004. This new dues
schedule is enclosed for your budget and planning purposes.
Careful research has gone into this dues adjustment to insure that it reflects the
value of membership to foundations and corporate giving programs of all sizes.
This increase, coupled with continued tight controls on operating costs, will allow
CMF to continue the educat ion programs, networking events, advocacy with state
and local government and other services members depend on (summarized in the
enclosed Fact Sheet).
CMF needs your continued support to help improve and increase philanthropy in
Michigan. We look forward to continuing to serve you in 2004 and beyond and will
be sending a membership renewal letter in January with this new schedule. If you
have any questions about the change in your dues investment in CMF or comments
about the value you receive as a CMF member, please call either of us anytime.
Sincerely,

David Campbell
Chair

Rob Coll ier
President &amp; CEO

�MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS FACT SHEET for FAMILY FO UNDATIONS
Your M embership Investment Supports These Six Goals
Where Your Dollar Goes?
60% for E ducation and Networking
40% for Advocating, Leading, Increasing &amp; Promoting
Educate: To support effective grantmaking by providing educational programs and resources.
During the year, CMF offers more than 30 workshops on topics such as trusteeship, finance and investments, and
grantmaking. Special trainings such as the Family Foundations Learning Circle and Next Generation Conference Calls
are also offered. More than 100 sample documents, such as conflict of interest policies, are available on-line at the
"Members Only" section of the website, www.cmif.org. And we publish resources such as Sample Documents for
Creating and Managing Your Family Foundation.
Network: To provide opportunities for the regular sharing of ideas among grantmakers.
The Annual Family Foundations Retreat is a popular networking event for families, and regional gatheri ngs and
summer receptions are offered throughout the state. With over 600 attendees, the Annual Conference provides an
excellent opportunity to share lessons learned with community foundations, private independent foundations and
corporate giving programs. The monthly gatherings of the Detroit Area Grantmakers are also a popular venue for
networking.
Advocate: To represent Michigan grantmakers with state and national government.
CMF works closely with new state legislators and their staffs to insure that they understand the role foundations p lay.
A highlight this year has been placing Karen Aldridge-Eason as Foundations Liaison with the Governor's Office.
Efforts continue with the Michigan Congressional delegation on the CARE Act, to reduce the excise tax on
foundations to a flat 1% - an important legislative goal for CMF. The annual Washington winter meeting with our
Congressional Delegation is an important opportunity to showcase the work of family foundations . Over the years,
CMF has worked with Congress, the State and others to accomplish 25 legislative goals, such as stabilizing of the
payout rate at 5%.
Lead: To faci litate and support collaborative philanthropic responses to critical needs.
As a result of CMF being asked to serve as fisca l agent, fami ly foundations are involved in supporting the bi-partisan
Land Use Leadership Council, created by Governor Granholm to recommend pol icies that will minimize the impact of
current land use trends. In addition, family foundations are s upporting the Michigan IDA Partnership, another state
collaboration, helping more than 1,000 low-income working fami lies obtain matched savings accounts for home
ownership in communities statewide.
Increase: To increase grantmaking resources by helping start new family foundations.
One-on-one consultations are held throughout the year with individuals and fami lies starting new foundations .
Information packets have been sent to more than 100 newly formed foundations in 2003.
Promote: To help Michigan residents understand the role of family philanthropy.
The redesigned website - www.cm if.org - features stories about members' grants and their impact on Michigan
communities. In addition, more than 500 teacher-developed and tested lesson plans on giving for kindergarten through
twelfth grade are now available for free through www.learningtogive.org. that family foundations can encourage their
local schools to use.

Learning to Give Progress Report

We are pleased to report that Learning to Give (LTG) has received additional funding of
$1 ,383,700 from the Lilly Endowment, Michigan Community Service Commission, and
the Howmet Fund of the Alcoa Foundation. This new funding allows LTG to expand its
goals. The LTG Steering Committee and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has approved the
amended Plan of Work that begins on page eight.
The Learning to Give Steering Committee and staff have actively implemented the
policies approved by the CMF Board at the last meeting. These policies included
permission for LTG to raise funds from individuals, sell lesson packets and educational
materials, charge fees for consulting, and add a set of civic engagement skill
expectations to the philanthropy education framework.
New LTG Steering Committee Members
The following individuals have accepted service on the LTG Steering Committee:
Betsy Upton Stover
FrederickS. Upton Foundation/CMF Board
Michael M. Barry
Bank One
Dr. Elaine C. Collins
Dean, GVSU School of Education
William E. Dimond
Past District Governor, Rotary International
Ann Irish Tabor
Grand Haven Area Community Foundation
Lilly Grant Award of $800,000 for 2003-2005
The Lilly Endowment has awarded Learning to Give a grant of $800,000 for two years.
The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University will receive $150,000 of this grant to
support their leadership of LTG in Indiana. The remaining funding will be used to
support LTG and to enhance the Web-site with new "rooms" for:
Parents
Youth workers
Religious instructors
Community leaders
Young people (61h-121h grade)
These new rooms provide access to the LTG educational materials for re-use by new
audiences and in new venues that reach school aged youth.
Michigan Community Service Commission
Corporation for National and Community Service Award of $525,000
The Michigan Community Service Commission through a grant from the Corporation for
National and Community Service is sub-granting $525,000 over three years to Learning
to Give. The $175,000 per year award will be used to bring LTG to 20 Michigan schools

�Learning to Give Report
October 30, 2003
Page 2

that currently engage in service-learning, to evaluate the synergy of the LTG lessons
with service-learning teaching methods, and to bring together Michigan Schools of
Education at major teacher preparation institutions to support service-learning and LTG
in their teacher education programs.
Howmet Fund-Alcoa Foundation Award of $8,700
The Director of the Howmet Fund of the Alcoa Foundation contacted LTG and
requested a proposal for $8,700 in support of LTG. We believe this request was due to
the visibility of LTG in Whitehall Public Schools, the corporate home of the Howmet
Fund. This one-year grant of $8,700 will help support the work in Muskegon County of
integrating LTG at each grade level in each school building. A front page article about
this initiative is included in your packet. The film referred to in this article, "If God Gives
You Lemons", was the NYU senior project for a young Michigan film-maker from Mt.
Pleasant. LTG owns the rights to this film.
Learning to Give Fund-Raising
Nearly 100 individual letters were sent in late October to individuals working closely with
the Learning to Give project. Letters were personalized and hand-signed by Dr. Mawby.
A larger mailing to 17,000 individuals and organizations on the LTG newsletter mailing
list is planned for early November. The fund-raising mailing list has deleted CMF
members, except for those serving on the LTG Steering or other working committees.
Two greeting cards have been designed for sale during the holiday season. The cards
feature student artwork submitted as a part of their Learning to Give lesson. LTG is
able to work with the printing department of the Muskegon Area Intermediate School
District so that the cards can be produced "on demand". (Order forms are included in
your board packet). With this arrangement there is no need for storage or to try to
anticipate demand with an upfront investment. Plans are underway to develop sets of
generic cards based on the substantial student art LTG has available.

Sale of Lesson Materials
With support from the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan's African
American Legacy Fund, LTG has produced three notebooks of African American
oriented philanthropy: K-12 lesson plans, briefing papers, quotations, and
bibliographies. Two colorful classroom posters (for Grades K-5 and 6-12) are included
in these educational packets. (A sampling of the notebook content and reduced
versions of the poster are included in your board packet).
The notebooks with posters are being distributed to the school libraries and media
centers statewide in 1,166 school buildings in Michigan. The schools are selected
based on their African American student populations, and also to schools serving as the
LTG pilot schools, as a way to equitably distribute these limited resources. In addition,
CFSEM has distributed 20 sets to religious and youth workers. LTG has printed an
additional 100 copies of each packet that are for sale. (The order form is included in the
sampler in your board packet).

�Learning to Give Report

Design, printing, packaging, storage, mailing, inventory control, and billing is handled by
Central Michigan University. This service makes it possible for the small LTG staff to
engage in printing and distributing this scale of educational material.
The next bundling of lessons will be on women's philanthropy, followed by civil society
and philanthropy, the environment and philanthropy, and philanthropy and the arts.
Revenue Consultation
Upon the recommendation and support of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Learning to
Give will be visited by the National Council for Nonprofit Enterprise for consultation on
revenue generating strategies. Their first visit is scheduled for early November.
Civic Engagement Skills Added to the LTG Framework
LTG added four new educational benchmarks at grades 5, 8, and 11 (twelve in all) that
specifically deal with skills of civic engagement such as preparing a persuasive
argument or leading a discussion. In analyzing the LTG lesson pool against these new
benchmarks, it was found that there are lesson resources already available that teach
these skills.
Three Year Evaluation of LTG Received
The team of researchers from Michigan State University reviewed the three-year
evaluation of Learning to Give at the Steering Committee meeting in September. In
addition, the team outlined plans for the next evaluation that will focus on outcomes for
students, teachers, and schools.
Grand Valley State University Partnership Agreement Completed
The School of Education Outreach Department of Grand Valley State University,
supported by the Dorothy A. Johnson Center on Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership,
has signed a three-year agreement with CMF!Learning to Give. GVSU will lead the
further implementation of LTG in Michigan by:
• Recruiting and supporting 15 new LTG partner schools
• Hosting and leading 3 summer institutes for teachers on LTG
• Integrating the teaching of philanthropy into the undergraduate "Foundations
of Education" courses and publishing their results in educational journals
• Assigning graduate students to write briefing papers supporting LTG
• Providing workshops for Novice teachers, and professional development
opportunities for experienced teachers on how to use LTG in their classrooms
• Documenting the process of university leadership for LTG
• Bringing together Michigan teacher preparation institutions to encourage
their regional leadership for LTG.
The LTG program at GVSU has received regional financial support from the Grand
Rapids Community Foundation, Dyer-lves Foundation, and the Kate and Richard
Wolters Foundation.
Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University Agreement Completed
The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University has signed a three-year agreement
with CMF!Learning to Give to lead the implementation of LTG in Indiana. An Indiana-

LTG Steering Committee has been formed , chaired by the Executive Director of the

Indiana Principals Association. The tasks required are similar to those listed above for
GVSU.
National Advisory Committee Adds New Members
The National Advisory Committee for LTG met in October at The Fetzer Institute. We
have one new member, Lauri Paarlberg, Associate Professor, San Francisco State
University.
The committee reviewed LTG documents, and suggested the development of an
Honorary National LTG Cabinet. Names of potential members of the Cabinet were
offered. The role of the Cabinet would be to: informally advise the Executive Director;
lend their name and national credibility to LTG; and open doors for LTG as appropriate.
The Cabinet would not meet. The development of this Cabinet will be pursued over the
next few months.
National advisors from the Meadows Center, LBJ School, of the University of TexasAustin, and the Nonprofit Management Program of San Francisco State University
offered to lead the extension of LTG into their states over the next year. Regional and
local funding will be sought to support these efforts. Based on organizing activities
currently underway on campus, the National advisor from the University of WisconsinMadison offered their leadership two years from now.
Michigan House Committee on Service-learning and Civic Engagement
Hearing
On November 3, 2003 LTG hosted one of six public hearings for the Michigan House
Subcommittee on Service-learning and Civic Education sponsored by the Michigan
Community Service Commission. The hearings are a fact-finding project of the
committee. The November 3, 2003 hearing highlighted LTG as a strategy for servicelearning and a support to civic engagement. Testifying for LTG were:

Web-site
User sessions, a conservative estimate of the use of the web-site, are roughly doubling
in comparative months each year. In September, 2003, the LTG Web-site reached a
new high at nearly 19,000 user sessions for the month. The seasonal differences in the
number of user sessions per month suggests use by teachers during the school year.

FOOTNOTES
1a.

Pilot Schools-33 school buildings in Michigan covering grades K-12 that commit
to having two LTG units taught at every grade level each year for three years.
These are the schools that are used as the basis for the outcome research.

1b.

Learning to Give Schools-these are schools throughout the United States where
at least 1/3 of the faculty (K-8) and a majority of the appropriate faculty in high
school (social studies department in particular) have volunteered to teach at least
one L TG-based unit each year.

1c.

Partner Schools-these are the 30 new school buildings to be recruited by GVSU
and IU during 2003-2006. Each partner school will have at least 1/3 of the
faculty teach two LTG units each year during 2003-2006.

Re:

CMF Legislative Goals Statement and Other Activities

I. Legislative Goals Statement
The Government Relations Committee held its annual meeting by conference call on Monday,
October 20, to review the CMF Legislative Goals Statement. The following resolution is
presented for your consideration and action.

RESOLVED that the CMF Legislative Goals Statement for 2003 is approved as presented
in the attached document.
Background
The Legislative Goals Statement contains two new goals. New National Goal (#l.S) deals with
the new administrative reporting requirements that will be put in place once the Congress
completes its work and the President signs the CARE Act into law. New State Goal (#6) deals
with the new Nonprofit Advisory Committee approved by Attorney General Cox.
In addition, we have updated the current goals that are impacted by the CARE Act, such as
Simplification of the Excise Tax- Goal 4, and the IRA Charitable Rollover- Goal 11, to reflect
the activity that has taken place this year in Congress. The changes are noted in BOLD. As
additional background information we have included:
• the Nonprofit Advisory Committee description &amp; priorities from the Michigan Nonprofit
Association, and a
• recent article on property taxes from The Chronicle ofPhilanthropy

II. Update on CARE Act
Since the June Board Meeting, Rob has worked closely with members, the Council on
Foundations, Representative Dave Camp and his staff and Representative Sander Levin on a
compromise to the proposed language in H.R. 7 that would eliminate all administrative expenses
from the payout calculation. While the compromise that has been approved by the House of
Representatives is not ideal, it is much better than what has been proposed. An update was sent
to the CMF Membership shortly after H.R. 7 was approved by the House. The CARE Act still
awaits action by a Conference Committee. We are not optimistic that it will be acted on until
early in January because of the current procedural hold put on the Bill by the Democrats in the
Senate due to other tax legislation being attached! to it. We have corresponded by fax and phone
with members of the Michigan Congressional delegation including Senators Levin and Stabenow
to reinforce CMF's support for the CARE Act.

�Government Relations Report

Page 2

It is important to note that Representative Dave Camp has played a key leadership role for the
field in negotiating the compromise language dealing with administrative expenses. We look
forward to thanking him for his leadership at our annual Foundations on the Hill dinner,
February 3 in Washington.

III. Meeting with Attorney General
On Friday, October 24, Rob was joined by the following five members: Bill Richardson,
President of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation; Kari Schlachtenhaufen, President of The Skillman
Foundation; Allan Ott, President of the Gerstacker Foundation; Dottie Johnson, Trustee of the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and Mark Hooper, Chair-Elect of the Capital Region Community
Foundation along with Duane Tarnacki, CMF Legal Counsel, for a one-hour meeting with the
Attorney General.
There were five goals for this meeting: to provide an update on the state of philanthropy in
Michigan; to review our long standing relationship with the Charitable Exempt Division; to share
efforts to promote principles and effective practices; to review our partnerships with the state,
especially the commw1ity foundation tax credit, tobacco settlement, and Foundation Liaison; and
to thank him for his interest in the nonprofit sector, especially through the creation of a Nonprofit
Advisory Committee.
Carol Tssacs, Deputy Attorney General and Chair of the New Nonprofit Actvisory Committee,
was in attendance along with representatives of the Charitable Exempt Division. The Attorney
General asked about issues affecting the future of philanthropy in Michigan, and we shared the
issues of technology and intergenerational transfer of wealth to family members living
throughout the country as two. He was appreciative of the briefing.

COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
Legislative Goals Statement
The purpose of the Council of Michigan Foundations' Government Relations Committee is to
seek support for legislative changes at both the state and national levels that encourage the role
and effectiveness of foundation and corporate philanthropy.
The CMF Board ofTrustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March 1, 1979.
Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June
14, 1985; April12, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995; October
30, 1996; March 13, 1997; November 4, 1998; October 14, 1999; October 2, 2000, October 2,
2001, September 29, 2002, and November 10, 2003.*
I. PHILANTHROPY IN MICHIGAN AND AMERICA

Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. Today, with a
slowly recovering economy, foundations and corporations are being challenged to increase their
support and charitable donations in the face of program changes initiated by national, state, and
local governme nts, as well as increased needs. In the face of this challenge, it is apparent that

more can and should be done to encourage the creation and growth of new fow1dations and
corporate giving programs, as well as to reduce the operating regulatory bmdens on existing
foundations and corporate giving programs.
Unfortunately, the 1969 Tax Act, while introducing a number of reforms, also erected a number
of major barriers to foundation philanthropy. These include the provisions that serve as
disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as provisions that discourage charitable
donations to existing foundations. It has become apparent that a number of Internal Revenue
Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive
on the grantmaking effectiveness of Michigan' s more than 2,000 foundations, as well as the
more than 54,000 other foundations in communities across the United States.
If foundations and corporations are to expand their support of important social needs and
programs, the Council of Michigan Fow1dations must work actively to inform the general public,
as well as state and federal legislators, and other policymakers on these important issues. In
1977, the Members ofCMF directed the Board ofTrustees to develop a public information
program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy and include
communication with public policymakers. A Government Relations Committee was established
to implement the program and has continued to represent CMF Members on their legislative
interests and priorities on a timely basis.

�CMF has worked with foundation and corporate Members, the Council on Foundations, other
regional associations of grantmakers and the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers,
Independent Sector, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and other nonprofit organizations to
enhance the understanding of public policymakers about foundation philanthropy and to bring
about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. As a result of these efforts by
CMF and others, the following twenty-five goals have been accomplished.

�IV. NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
1.

Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect
the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability.
Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private
foundation, it is important that all historical financial data be taken into consideration.
History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal.
(Reilly/Skadden, University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration
study sponsored by CMF, 198 1 -Private Foundations: The Payout Requirement and Its
Effect on Investment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study
"Spending Policies and Investment Planning for Foundations," 1995, sponsored by the
Council on Foundations.) A CMF sponsored study, completed in May 2000 by
Cambridge Associates, Inc., of the actual performance of a group of Michigan endowed
private foundations confim1s the position of maintaining the payout rate at no more than
5 %. There continues to be an effort led by the National Committee for Responsive
Philanthropy and the N ational Network ofGrantrnakers to have legislation introduced
that would increase the required payout to 6%. In the 2003 House version of the CARE
Act there has been an effort to increase the payout for private foundations by
disallowing all administrative expenses in the payout calculation. The compromise
that has been agreed to by the House will mean that some foundations may elect to
increase their payout to an estimated 5.4% to handle the new regulations
concerning administrative expenses taking steps to reduce their administrative
expenses not related to grantmaking.

2.

Goal: Change the limitation on gifts to a private foundation from 20 percent to 50
percent.
Explanation: Under existing law, the amount deductible by an individual taxpayer for
contributions to private non-operating foundations is computed as a percentage of the
donor's contribution base (in most cases, his or her adjusted gross income). An
individual may deduct only 20 percent of the gifts of appreciated property or 30 percent
of gifts of cash. On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50 percent of
his contribution base for cash (and 30 percent for appreciated property) for gifts to public
charities.

3.

Goal: Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer for a gift to a private foundation of
certain capital gain property.
Explanation: Individual taxpayers may deduct the full fair market value of a gift to a
private foundation of appreciated property in the form of publicly-traded stock, ifthe gift
is less than 10 percent of the outstanding stock of the company. However, in other cases,
such as privately held stock, the amount of deduction continues to be limited to the
donor's cost or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The
same gift to a public charity entitles the taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction.

4.

Goal: Repeal the excise tax on private foundations.

Page 3

�Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be
reduced from two to one percent if a foundation's payout for the year in question equals
or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets, times the average payout percentage for
the five years, plus I percent of the foundation's net investment income. Private
foundations are the only 501(c)(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax. The
current fonnula is difficult to administer and can limit charitable giving.
Simplification to a flat one percent is an acceptable intermediate step and is in H.R.7
passed by the House of Representatives in August 2003. Because this step is also
supported by the White House, favorable action by the Conference Committee is
expected in the fall of 2003, sending the CARE Act to the President for signing in
early 2004.
5.

Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and
repeal the three percent floor on itemized deductions.
Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions,
Congress approved a three percent floor in deductions. This floor was scheduled to
expire at the end of 1995, but in 1993 was made pem1anent.

6.

Goal: Limit lineal descendants who are "disqualified persons" at the level of
grandchildren.
Explanation: In 1984, the law was amended to limit "disqualified persons" to
substantial contributors to a foundation and their children, grandchildren, great
grandchildren, and their spouses. The amendment provided that substantial contributors
will no longer be considered "disqualified persons" if, over a ten-year period, they meet
certain requirements to distance themselves from the foundation. However, there is still
no logical rationale - - or examples of abuse - - to justify the inclusion of lineal
descendants beyond the level of grandchildren.

7.

Goal: Modify the law to permit the "out of corpus" requirement to be met by a foreign
grantee if sufficient documentation is provided showing that the full amount of the grant
was spent for the specified purposes within 12 months after the year the grant was made.
Explanation: When making grants to some foreign charities, private fow1dations are
required to treat them as private foundations. Any grant from a private foundation to
another private foundation requires that tl1e amount granted "flow through" the grantee
and out as qualifying distributions that are made "out of corpus" by the end of the
following year. The purpose for this rule is to prevent a foundation from avoiding the
payout rule by having one private foundation give to another, who then simply adds the
grant to its endowment (corpus), with charitable grantees receiving no benefit. In the
foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment and totally misunderstands
the concept of "out of corpus."

8.

Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers.
Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form that permits itemized
deductions; instead they fi le the short form that allows only a standard deduction. From
Page 4

�1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were pennitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize
charitable contributions within certain limits, but the deduction expired January 1, 1987.
The CARE Act passed in 2003 by both the Senate and the House includes a two-year
limited deduction. Action is expected by a Conference Committee in the fall of 2003
that would send the Bill to the President. Because the President supports the
charitable deduction for non-itemizers, the Bill is anticipated to become law for the
2004 and 2005 tax years.
9.

Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to wh ich foundations and charities can
lobby or otherwise influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that
adversely affect grantmaking.
Explanation: Continuous monitoring is ,e ssential to oppose unreasonable and
mmecessary regulatory reporting burdens on both foundations and their grantees.

10.

Goal: Support legislation to eliJnjnate the classification of realized gains and il1come,
derived from leveraged real estate investments by foundations, as unrelated business
taxable income.
Explanation: Foundations and nonprofit organizations are significant investors in the
real estate market. However, income derived from leveraged real estate investments,
owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable
income (UBTI). Private foundations should be treated in the same manner as educational
organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the
debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain real property.

11.

Goal: Permit tax-free distribution from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for
charitable purposes.
Explanation: It is proposed that direct gifts from an IRA to a charitable organization
would not be taxed as income to the accollnt-holder who has attained the age of 59 Y2
years of age, if the disbursement is made directly to either a qualified charity or a
qualifying deferred giving plan. It is anticipated that such a law would increase
contributions to many charitable organizations, including community foundations. The
CARE Act, passed by the House and Senate in 2003, is expected to be considered by
a Conference Committee in the fall of 2003 to resolve differences in the age of 59 Yz
or age 70 Yz. Because the President supports this provision and the federal deficit
continues to grow, it is anticipated that age 70 Yz will prevail in the Committee.

12.

Goal: Avoid excessive regulations on corporate giving.
Explanation: CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation, which
would require costly adnunistration. The House version of the 2002 Corporate and
Accounting: Accountability and Transparency Act included three reporting provisions
(all Board service by officers, directors, and significant family members; all gifts of
$10,000 or more; all transactions valued at $10,000 or more) that would have a negative
impact on corporate philanthropy. Working with the Council on Foundations, CMF was
successful in ensuring that this provision was not included in the Senate version, the
version signed into law in the summer of 2002 by the President. Representative Gilmore
Page 5

�of Ohio continues in 2003 to introduce legislation to impose additional reporting
requirements on corporate giving programs, but the legislation is not expected to be
reported out of Committee.
13.

Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 2001 on creation of new
foundations and gifts to existing foundations.
Explanation: The "Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001" passed by the Congress and
signed into law by the President in June 2001, phases out the Estate Tax between 2002
and 2010. Full repeal however is only in effect for the year 2010. The estate tax then
reverts, unless new legislation is passed, to the 2000 tax code status. While it is the
position of CMF to not support or oppose legislation that has a broad impact beyond the
charitable field, it is necessary to monitor the impact on philanthropy of this legislation
and future changes that might be made in the estate tax.

14.

Goal: Support efforts to incorporate philanthropy as an objective of legislation providing
financial resources to character education and other K-12 educational initiatives.
Explanation: CMF was successful through the Learning to Give initiative in having the
word "giving" added to the definition of character education in the 2002 Education Bill
signed by President Bush. Learning to Give is assisting when appropriate national
partners and universities to ensure that giving is incorporated in new character education
programs funded by the Department of Education. Although philanthropy enjoys bipartisan support in Congress, ongoing educational effort is needed to insure that federal
resources eventually support programs implementing the goals of Learning to Give.

15.

Goal: Monitor implementation of new administrative reporting provisions of the
2003 CARE Act if signed into law by the President.
Explanation: The CARE Act of 2003 would limit the level of compensation for
disqualified persons and certain travel expenses that may be included as qualifying
distributions. New reporting requirements will be implemented for the tax year
2004 or 2005. CMF will need to monitor the experience of Michigan private
foundations in fulftlling these reporting requirements and share findings with
Representatives Camp and Levin, Michigan's members ofthe House Ways and
Means Committee.

V. STATE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
1.

Goal: Monitor and support the continued granting of property tax exemption by
local units of government to foundations.
Explanation: CMF, working with partners such as the Michigan Nonprofit
Association, will closely monitor cases that could adversely impact foundations, such
as in Ann Arbor, where nonprofit organizations are being forced by local tax
authorities to appeal their tax exemption status to the State Tax Tribunal, and if
needed, consider filing letters of support with the Tax Tribunal.
Page 6

�2.

Goal: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from
individuals.
Explanation: Other states have found that a tax deduction mirroring the federal tax code
does motivate additional gifts by individuals to charities. While the introduction of
legislation in tough economic times is unlikely, the Michigan Nonprofit Association is
taking the lead in promoting this issue with the legislature.

3.

Goal: Promote legislation necessary for a portion of the state tobacco settlement funds
to be annually granted to CMF for distribution to certified Michigan community
foundations for Healthy Youth and Healthy Senior purposes.
Explanation: Michigan's share of the national tobacco settlement ($206 billion over the
next 26 years) between 46 states, five commonwealths and territories and the District of
Columbia with five tobacco companies, representing 97.5% of the industry, is $8.3
billion. The master settlement agreement does not specify how states may spend their
settlement payments. Since 2001 , CMF has distributed more that $20 million of interest
earned on the tobacco settlement funds not used for the Merit Scholarship Program and
earmarked annually through the Department of Career Development budget. Annual
advocacy is required to insure that the Legislature understands the valuable role
community foundations play in this distribution and continues the annual budgeting
allocation. The State's 2004 budget includes an allocation of $1 million for this
purpose.

4.

Goal: Support legislation to simplify the Charitable Solicitations Act.
Explanation: Community foundations are required, as well as other charitable
nonprofits, to file for an annual solicitation license. The licensing, enforcement, and
appeal processes are not considered user friendly by nonprofits and do not reflect the
changing cost in fundraising. The Michigan Nonprofit Association is leading the effort
on this issue and expects legislation to be introduced with support from Attorney
General Cox in the fall of 2003.

5.

Goal: To monitor administration of the permanent community foundation tax credit and
its relationship to other existing and proposed tax credits.
Explanation: As a result of term limits CMF staff are continually working with
legislators to explain the tax credit and the role of community foundations. There is an
on-going effort by other nonprofit sector groups such as hospitals, schools and
community development corporations to obtain targeted tax credits without
acknowledgement of the potential to meet their needs through the existing community
foundation tax credit. Research is underway at the University of Michigan to determine
the role of tax credits in stimulating giving and to investigate the hypothesis that too
many tax credit will detract from giving. In addition, CMF staff assists Treasury
Department staff to insure that the re-certification process is working.

Page 7

�6.

Goal: To assist the Charitable Trust Section of the Attorney General's office, an
important source of information about charitable giving and the nonprofit sector in
Michigan.
Explanation: There are at least three known cases in which state attorney generals
have initiated litigation against foundations for excess compensation and self dealing
abuses. Attorney General Spitzer of New York State has announced his intention to
support legislation to disallow any private foundation with assets under $20 million
as one way of preventing future abuses. At the recommendation of the Michigan
Nonprofit Association, Attorney General Mike Cox has approved creation of a
Nonprofit Advisory Committee to advise his Office, especially the Charitable Trust
Section, on issues related to charitable giving and charities in Michigan. The
Committee will meet twice a year starting in 2004 and be chaired by a Deputy
Attorney General. It is important that CMF have foundation representatives on this
Committee.

�Michigan Nonprofit Association
Nonprofit Advisory Committee to Michigan Attorney Gener al
C ommittee Description and Priorities
Objective
To advise the Attorney General on issues related to charities and charitable giving in
Michigan, the Michigan Nonprofit Association proposes that the Nonprofit Advisory
Committee focus on the following objectives:

1. Provide feedback, as needed, on existing and emerging regulations affecting the
nonprofit sector.
The purpose of this objective is to periodically review the existing state legislation and
regulations governing the charitable community and to provide suggestions for
maintaining cohesion between the law and the changing nonprofit/fundraising
environment. The input and feedback of the sector through the Nonprofit Advisory
Committee will inform revision and implementation of these laws and practices.
Priorities in this area may include:
• Periodic review and suggestions for revision of relevant regulations,
• Providing input and feedback to proposed changes in charitable legislation
emanating from the legislature, Attorney General or other source, and
• Exploring opportunities to educate and work with the legislature regarding the
regulation of charities.

2. Assist the Attorney General with ed ucating donors and citizens a bout charities
and charitable giving.
The Charitable Trust Section of the Attorney General's office is an important source of
infommtion about and for the sector. This objective will help inform the Attorney
General on how to maximize the information, tools and leadership available to educate
donors and citizens about charities and charitable giving. Changes in the fundraising
environment, including on-line giving and recent scandals regarding the accountability of
charities, have made it imperative that the puiblic make educated choices for donations.
Priorities in this area may include:
• Providing feedback and recommendations on current public education efforts,
and

�•

Identifying opportunities and strategies for the Attorney General to educate
donors/citizens about the state's nonprofits, including the importance of
giving and how donors can give wisely.

3 . Enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of collecting data about charities and
fund raisers.

Although over 3,000 charities are registered with the Charitable Trust Section, there are
still a number of charities and fundraisers that are not aware of the registration and
disclosure requirements of the state. For the purpose of accountability of organization
practices and an accounting of the scope of the sector, it is important that all required
charities register and understand the disclosure requirements. Some key priorities in this
area may include:
• Exploring and implementing methods to inform nonprofits and fundraisers
about registration/disclosure requirements,
• Reviewing the type of data collected and its uses, suggest potential
audiences for this information, and explore how technology can facilitate the
collection process, and
• Evaluate models and experiences from other states, regarding their
collection of data.
Composition of Committee
MNA proposes that the full Committee meet twice a year and be chaired by the Attorney
General or senior staff member. As discussed previously, the Michigan Nonprofit
Association is willing to coordinate and manage the committee. MNA also proposes to
assign committee members to work groups organized around the objectives outl ined
above. These committees would also meet twice during the year and would be staffed by
MNA. To reflect the geographic and mission diversity of the sector, the following is a list
of potential "types" of groups that may be asked to serve:
•
•
•

Statewide nonprofit organizations representing the arts, education, human
services, foundations and nonprofits.
Local nonprofit organizations representing the health and human services, the
arts, the environment and the foundation community.
Professionals working with nonprofits including accountants, lawyers and
professional fundraisers.

Timeline
MNA proposes that committee members be recruited over the summer, and that the
launching of the committee be announced in the fall in conjunction with the first meeting.
At the first meeting, committee members would determine dates for future full committee
meetings as well as sub-committee meetings.

From:

Herbert (Ted) D. Doan

Re:

September 30, 2003 Investment Report

RESOLVED that the September 30, 2003, Investment Report, as reviewed by the
Investment Committee, be accepted.
On October 28, 2003, the Investment Committee met to review 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 (MAF), meets to review the investment performance for the
operating and permanent endowment funds.
At the May 20, 2003 meeting, the committee reviewed a revision to the current
investment policy based on a sample policy developed by Fund Evaluation Group, an
investment consulting finn out of Cincinnati, Ohio. The conunittee approved the final
version of the policy which is attached.

RESOLVED that the Investment Policy, a copy of which is attached, be approved,
as recommended by the Investment Committee.
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.

Asset Class
S&amp;P 500
S&amp;P 400
S&amp;P 600
REIT
International Equities
Short Bond
Bond
High Yield Bond Fund
Cash

Allocation
37%
9%
6%
5%
13%
12.5%
12 .5%
5%
0%

�The Lipper returns are based on the following asset classes.
Lipper Large Cap Core
Lipper Mid Cap Core
Lipper Small Cap Core
Lipper Real Estate Equity
Lipper International
Lipper Corporate Debt A Rated Fixed Income
Asset Allocation Report
The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that
instructs CMF's Vice President ofFinance 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 bench mark
comparison. The release of this information typically takes two to three months, which is
why this report lags by one quarter.

�I.

DEFINITIONS
PURPOSE
This Investment Policy Statement was adopted by the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF) to establish a clear understanding of CMF's philosophy and
investment objectives.
As the parent corporation of two supporting organizations, this policy also covers the
Michigan AIDS Fund and the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures.
The purpose of CMF' s endowment funds is to accumulate a pool of assets sufficient to
support the purpose of each pem1anent endowment fund. While shorter-term
investment results will be monitored, adherence to a sound long-term investment
policy, which balances short-term spending needs with preservation of the real
(inflation-adjusted) value of assets, is crucial to the long-tenn success of CMF's
endowment funds.
Throughout this policy, the reference to CMF will also include the supporting
organizations of the Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the
Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF).

SCOPE
This Policy applies to all assets that are included in CMF's investment portfolio for
which the Investment Committee has been given discretionary investment authority.

FIDUCIARY DUTY
In seeking to attain the investment objectives set forth in the policy, the Investment
Conunittee and its members shall exercise prudence and appropriate care in
accordance with the Prudent Investor Rule. All investment actions and decisions must
be based solely in the interest of CMF. Fiduciaries must provide ful l and fair
disclosure to the Investment Committee of all material facts regarding any potential
conflicts of interest.

�DEFINITION OF DUTIES
Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees has the ultimate fiduciary responsibility for the Foundation's
investment portfolio. The Board must ensure that appropriate policies governing the
management of the Foundation are in place and that these policies are being
effectively implemented. To implement these responsibilities, the Board sets and
approves the Investment Policy Statement and delegates responsibility to the
Investment Committee for implementation and ongoing monitoring.
Investment Committee

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

The Chief Financial Officer has daily responsibility for administration of the
Foundation's investment portfolio and will consult with the Investment Committee and
Board on all matters relating to the investment of the Foundation's portfolio. The
Chief Financial Officer will serve as prin1ary contact for the Foundation's investment
managers, investment consultant, and custodian.

IT.

OBJECTIVES
TI1e overall, long-term investment goal of CMF is to achieve an annualized total return
(net of fees and expenses), through appreciation and income, greater than the rate of
inflation (as measured by the broad, domestic Consumer Price Index) plus 5%, thus
protecting the assets against inflation.
The assets are to be managed in a manner that will maxinuze the benefits intended by
the donors.

2

�S1RATEGY
The Board and Investment Committee agree that investing in securities with higher
return expectations outweighs their sho:rt-tenn volatility risk. As a result, the majority
of assets will be invested in equity or equity-like securities. Fixed income securities
will be used to lower the short-term volatility of the portfolio and to provide income
stability, especially during periods of weak or negative equity markets. Cash is not a
strategic asset of the portfolio, but is a residual to the investment process and used to
meet short-term liquidity needs.

Deliberate management of the asset mix among classes of investments is both a
necessary and desirable responsibility. In the allocation of assets, diversification of
investments among asset classes that are not similarly affected by economic, political,
or social developments is a highly desirable objective. The Investment Committee's
general policy shall be to diversify investments within both equity and fixed income
securities so as to provide a balance that will enhance total return, while avoiding
undue risk concentrations in any single asset class or investment category. The
diversification does not necessarily depend upon the number of industries or
companies in a portfolio or their particular location, but rather upon the broad nature
of such investments and of the factors that may influence them.
In making asset allocation judgments, the Investment Committee is not expected to
seek to "time" subtle changes in financial markets, or to make frequent or minor
adjustments. Instead, the Investment Conm1ittee is expected to develop and adopt
expressed guidelines for broad allocations on a long-tern1 basis, in light of current and
projected investment environments.
To ensure broad diversification in the long-tenn investment portfolios among the
major categories of investments, asset allocation, as a percent of ilie total market value
of the total long-term portfolio, will be set with ilie following target percentage and
within the following ranges:

The above asset allocation will be implemented through a portfolio of active and

REBALANCING

The Chief Financial Officer will monitor the asset allocation structure of the
investment pool and rebalance the p01tfolio to the targeted asset allocation percentage

on a quarterly basis.
SPENDING POLICY
Income available for spending is detem1ined by a total return system and will be
calculated using a per unit measure as highlighted below.
The income/unit that may be spent atmually, notwithstanding the historical gift
amount, shall not exceed 5% of the average fair market/unit value of the individual
endowment fund's assets as measured at the end of each quarter, for the previous
twenty quarters or all quarters since the inception of the fund (whichever is shorter).
Newly established endowment funds shall be in existence for four quarters before
distributions may be made from the funds.
On an annual basis, the Investment Committee shall examine the effect the spending
policy may have on those funds whe re the market value has dropped below the
original gift amount, and may adjust downward the spendable amount for the coming
fiscal year as deemed appropriate.

IMPLEMENTATION
TIME HORIZON

The Investment Committee seeks to achieve or outperfonn the targeted expected
returns, as defmed by the asset allocation decision, over a full market cycle. The
Investment Committee does not expect that all investment objectives will be attained
in each year and recognizes that over various time periods, investment managers may
produce significant over or under performance relative to the broad markets. The
Investment Committee reserves the right to evaluate and make any necessary changes
regarding investment managers over an appropriate time period using the criteria
established under "Manager Evaluation" below.
MANAGER EVALUATION

All investment returns shall be measured net of fees. Each investment manager will
be reviewed by the Investment Committee on an ongoing basis and evaluated upon the
following criteria:
a) Avoidance of regulatory actions against the finn, its principals or employees;
b) Adherence to the guidelines and objectives of this Investment Policy Statement;
c) A voidance of significant deviation from the style and capitalization characteristics
defined as " normal" for the manager.
d) Ability to exceed the return of the appropriate benchmark index and, for equity
managers, produce positive alpha (risk-adjusted return) within the volatility limits set
in the following "Summary of Quantitative Performance Objectives" table; and
e) Ability to meet or exceed the median performance of a peer group of managers
with similar styles of investing.

6

�SUMMARY of QUANTITATIVE PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
The following table summarizes the quantitative perfonnance objectives of each asset
class.

Asset Class
Large Cap Equity
Mid Cap Equity
Small Cap Equity
International Equity
Real Estate Equity
Fixed Income

Benchmark
Lipper Large Cap
Lipper Mid Cap
Lipper Small Cap
Lipper International
Lipper Real Estate Equity
Lipper Corp Debt A Rated Fixed Income

Managers failing to meet these criteria will undergo extensive qualitative and
quantitative analysis.
This analysis will focus on the manager's personnel,
philosophy, portfolio characteristics, and peer group perfonnance to detennine
whether the manager is capable of implementing their defined portion of the overall
portfolio structure.

N. GUIDELINES AND RES1RICTIONS
GENERAL
In today's rapidly changing and complex financial world, no list or types of categories
of investments can provide continuously adequate guidance for achieving the
investment objectives. Any such list is likely to be too inflexible to be suitable for the
market environment in which investment decisions must be made. Therefore, it is the
process by which investment strategies and decisions are developed, analyzed,
adopted, implemented and monitored, and the overall manner in which investment
risk is managed, which detern1ines whether an appropriate standard of reasonableness,
care and prudence has been met for the Foundation's investments.

Mutual Funds - The Investment Committee will normally accomplish the approved
portfolio asset allocation objectives by arranging for investment in index funds, or
actively managed funds, that have been reviewed and approved by the Committee.
The Investment Committee will evaluate selected index funds, or actively managed
fimds, prior to investment by considering the experience and history of the
Investment Management organization, the record of the fund and the fund
expenses andfees.

7

�The Investment Committee understands that mutual funds have specific investment
guidelines and restrictions usually set forth in their respective prospectus. The
Investment Committee will examine those guidelines and restrictions, and requires
the mutual fund managers to comply with such guidelines and restrictions and to
notify CMF ofany subsequent changes or amendments.
Non-Mutual Funds - The requirement.&lt;; stated below apply to investments in nonmutual and non-pooled funds, where the investment manager is able to construct a
separate, discretionary account on behalf of CMF.
a) Have full investment discretion with regard to security selection consistent with
this Investment Policy Statement and is expected to maintain a fully invested
portfolio (5% or less in cash);
b) Immediately notify the Investment Committee in writing of any material changes
in the investment outlook, strategy, portfolio structure, ownership or senior
personnel;
c) Make no purchase that would cause a position in the portfolio to exceed 5% of the
outstanding voting shares of the company or invest with the intent of controlling
management;
d) Not invest in non-marketable securities, sell securities short, buy securities on
margin, borrow money or pledge assets, nor buy or sell uncovered options,
commodities or currencies, without approval of the CMF Board ofTrustees;
e) With the exception of international managers, not invest in non-dollar
denominated securities; and
f)

In the case of international managers, maintain appropriate diversification with
respect to currency and country exposure.

Equity Guidelines (This does not apply to broadly based index funds.)
Each active equity investment manager shall:
a) Assure that no position of any one company exceeds 8% of the manager's total
portfolio as measured at market;
b) Vote proxies and share tenders in a manner that is in the best interest of CMF and
consistent with this Investment Pohcy Statement;
c) Maintain a minimum of 20 positions in the portfolio to provide adequate
diversification; or invest in broadly based index funds; and
d) Maintain adequate diversification among industries by investing no more than
25% of the portfolio in any one industty, as defined by the relevant benchmark.

8

�Fixed Income Guidelines

Each fixed income investment manager shall:
a) Maintain an overall weighted average credit rating of A or better by Moody's and
Standard &amp; Poor's;
b) Hold no more than 10% of the pmtfolio in investments rated below investment
grade (below Baa/BBB). Split rated securities will be governed by the lower
rating;
c) Maintain a duration within +/-20&lt;% of the effective duration of the benchmark
index; and
d) Assure that no position of any one issuer shall exceed 5% of the manager's total
portfolio as measured at market value except for securities issued by the U. S.
government or its agencies.

DERIVATIVE SECURITIES
For definition purposes, derivative securities include, but are not limited to, structured
notes, lower class branches of collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), principal
only (PO) or interest only (IO) strips, inverse floating rate securities, futures contracts,
options, short sales, and margin trading.
Under no circumstances shall the investment managers utilize derivative securities
without the express written consent of the Investment Committee. This consent shall
include the type of allowable derivatives and approved uses of the instrument. No
consent will be given for any derivative security used for the purpose of leveraging the
portfolio's investments. (If options and futures are specifically approved by the
Investment Committee, such positions must be offset in their entirety by
con-esponding cash or securities.)
The Investment Committee shall consider ce1tain crite1ia including, but not limited to,
the following in its evaluation of a derivative strategy:
i.
11.
111.

iv.
v.

Manager's proven expertise in such category.
Value added by engaging in derivatives.
Liquidity of instruments.
Actively traded by major exchanges (or for over-the-counter positions,
executed with major dealers).
Manager's intemal procedures to evaluate derivatives, such as scenario and
volatility analysis and duration constraints.

Council of
Michigan
Foundations

Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving.

October 30, 2003

To:

David Campbell, Chair, and Members of the CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Julie F. Cummings, Vice Chair, Private Foundations &amp; Chair,
Family Philanthropy Committee
Susan Howbert, Director, Family Philanthropy Services

Re:

Family Philanthropy Report

We are pleased to highlight the following activities for family foundations:
~!h Annual Family Foundations Retreat

Approximately 60 adults and 10 youth are registered for the Family Foundations Retreat
"Building a Legacy Together" taking place at the Amway Grand Plaza immediately prior to the
Annual Conference. The retreat features a workshop, "Family Dynamics and Foundation
Performance", presented by Dr. Kelin Gersick, a consultant, teacher and author who works with
family firms on the impact of marital, parent, sibling, and cousin relationships on governance
and business operations.
The Retreat concludes on Sunday afternoon with a talk by H. Peter Karoff, Chairman, The
Philanthropic Initiative, on "Making A Difference: Values, Passion and Strategy", and the
announcement of the grants awarded by the family foundation youth as a result of their youth
grantmaking activity with members of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation youth
grantmaking committee.
Many thanks to CMF Trustee Peggy Thompson and her husband, David, for hosting a wonderful
dinner buffet on Saturday night at their home for all Retreat participants.
Family Foundations Summer Reception
Over 40 family foundation trustees enjoyed a delightful August evening at the Charlevoix home
of Julie and Peter Cummings. The summer reception provided a wonderful opportunity for
members to network and nonmembers to learn about CMF's family philanthropy program. The
evening ended with everyone taking turns tooling around the Cummings' driveway on Mike
Dow's Segway!

Be Readv by Five Study Group on Early Childhood Education
A group of family foundation trustees, who have been meeting over the past two years to study
and discuss the many issues that challenge Michigan families, are currently focusing on the
issues of early childhood education and school readiness. On May 30 in Flint and June 10 in
Grand Rapids, 30 family foundation trustees gathered to hear Carl Ill, Director, Allegan County
Intermediate School District, speak on the importance of investing in early childhood.

�Family Philanthropy Report

In late October, Carol Goss, Vice President Program, The Skillman Foundation met with the
study group to discuss early childhood funding ideas, from small to large family foundations, in
addition to providing a list of suggested reading. The Be Ready by F ive group will make a short
presentation at the Family Foundations Retreat and host a breakfast roundtable at the annual
conference.
Next steps include partnering with CMF's Public Policy Committee and the Governor's
Foundation Liaison, Karen Aldridge-Eason, on an ail-day Forum in Lansing on the subject of
early childhood education and development in April 2004.
Family Philanthropy Committee Conference Call
The Family Philanthropy Committee met on Monday, June 23,2003 via conference call to
review upcoming programs and activities, and brainstorm ideas for increasing membership
participation. Suggestions included identifying member mentors, assigning each committee
member, one non-participating member to call, and updating CMF's mailing list to include all
trustees of member family foundations, not just a main contact.
Committee members who participated in the meeting included: Committee chair, Julie F.
Cummings, Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation, John and Nancy Colina, Colina
Foundation, Richard Levey, The Shiffman Foundation, Carol Paine-McGovern, Paine Family
Foundation, and Steve Upton, FrederickS. Upton Foundation.
Family Foundations Newsletter
CMF is collaborating with the Ohio Grantmakers Forum (OGF) on the development and
production of a national regional association family foundations newsletter. Family foundations
continue to be the largest market for potential membership for our regional associations. Their
founders and trustees are in need of timely, substantive, and helpful information about how to
manage and govern their new foundations. The newsletter is being developed as a valuable
marketing tool for new members as well as a "value-add" for current members. The subscription
price is $20 per year per fam ily foundation member of the regional association. Two issues a
year are planned; the first edition is due out in early 2004. Subscribers include Donors Forum of
Chicago, Connecticut Council of Philanthropy, Delaware Valley Grantmakers, Indiana
Grantmakers Alliance, Council of New Jersey Grantmakers, Grantmakers of Oregon and SW
Washington, Rochester Grantmakers Forum, San Diego Grantmakers, Donors Forum of South
Florida, and Washington Grantmakers.
Winter 2004--Family Foundations Study to Trip to Florida
CMF is pla~ming a fan1ily foundations study trip to Florida for the winter of 2004.
Unfortunately, many of our loyal family foundation members who winter in Florida were unable
to participate in this year's Family Foundations Retreat or Annual Conference since they already
departed for warmer climes. Their involvement with CMF and its progran1s is important to our
organization. The Florida program will be designed to be a networking and educational
opportunity.

31" Annual Conference - SPECIAL UPDATE!!
Building Opportunities Together
November 10-12,2003, Grand Rapids

We look forward to having you with us at the 31st Annual Conference, Building
Opportunities Together, starting at 12:30 p.m., Monday, November I 0 with the
Networking Luncheons. We ·will have your Conference bags and registration
materials for you at the start of the Board Meeting on Monday morning.
Before providing our Conference Report, we want to thank Program and Host Committee
members, logistics consultant Ruth Anne Southgate-Otto, designer Robin Smith, and the
CMF staff. Everyone has worked very hard to make this Conference a programmatic and
financial success.
CONFERENCE DESIGN
This year, CMF formalized the Conference framework successfully piloted last year at
Mackinac Island which calls for at least one session on each of the:
• 5 core skill areas of grantmaking, governance, finance/investments, administration,
and cornnmnications/public policy;
• 6 Public Policy Committee focus areas of early childhood, K-12 education, health
care access, T ANF/welfare reform, land use, and safety net.

Based on feedback and meeting discussions, we believe the framework successfully
provided the Committee with clearer direction and focus and caused it to take a more
"customer oriented" approach to planning.
In addition to the three plenary sessions, eight mini-plenaries, and 24 concurrents, the
Conference offers:
•

•

Our 3'd annual Artist-in-Residence. This year, we have Bill Vits, Principal
Percussionist, Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra, who will play at the start of each
plenary session.
Our 41h Annual Experienced Grantmaker Workshop-- Navigating Uncertainty:
Leadership Tools for 21'1 Century Philanthropy with Katherine Fulton, Global
Business Network.

evaluation, and information resources.
Our 2"d annual Breakfast Roundtable discussions offering 21 groups on topics
ranging from International Grantmaking to Portfolio Risk Adjustment Tools &amp; Donor
Trends.
Two exciting Host evenings - on Monday night recognizing the Frey family members
as Honorary Chairs with special entertainment by the leadership of the Grand Rapids
Symphony and on Tuesday night a "Cool-Hot" Cities party at the B.O.B!
Tuesday afternoon dedicated to an excellent array of site visits organized by the Host
Committee.

REGISTRATION
This year, CMF introduced secure on-line registration which was used by nearly 50% of
Conference registrants. We're pleased at the great response to this new member service
and its indication of increasing use of the new CMF website.
Partial registrations were much higher this year than we had anticipated. We believe that
the urban location and weak economy contributed to this happening. As noted below, at

SPONSORS &amp; EXHIBITORS
This year, CMF introduced a new Sponsorship Opportunities program that generated
$132,000 in revenues. The program offered several promotional opportunities for
sponsors based on their level of support. The highest level, $15,000 received:
• A half-page ad in the Conference Registration Brochure &amp; Conference Program
• Their corporate logo on the Conference area of the CMF web site
• Sponsorship of a plenary session or evening event
• Recognition at the Conference through signage and announcements.

We also introduced the new "Stars" recognition system for the different levels of
sponsors which appears in the Conference Program and in Conference signage.
We are pleased to have reached our goal of obtaining 10 Conference exhibitors which
generated $13,000 in revenue. Please visit with the Exhibitors during the Conference and
thank them for their support.
