Ms. Powers-Schaub then presented the new website that will be live on April 1 and demonstrated its search function as well as members only content.

He noted the Committee's decisions to agree that CMF can serve as fiscal agent for the Governor's proposed Land Use Commission and to have CMF obtain a legal opinion on the contractual nature of multi-year grant commitments - caused in part by a decision by the Thompson-McCully Foundation to change the manner in which the Foundation makes grants.

Advancing giving. May 27, 2003 Memo to: C. David Campbell, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Ira Strumwasser and Betsy Upton Stover, Co-Chairs Rob Collier, President Re: Membership Committee Report The Membership Committee recommends the following new member for approval : Bill & Vi Sigmund Foundation, Jackson Carolyn M. Pratt, Program Director In addition, the Membership Committee recommends that the following list of 39 members be dropped from membership effective August 31,2003. These members have been contacted repeatedly over the past year. In addition, the ones located in the Detroit area received telephone invitations to attend the June 5 Members Regional Reception at the Detroit Institute of Arts. They will be sent one more additional letter inviting them to join for this new fiscal year. Since April I, we have received payments from four members for their dues for the past year.

Samuel & Harold Shapero Foundation Skendzel Family Foundation Amherst & Janeth Turner Foundation Wheeler Family Foundation Wilkinson Foundation The Jamison Williams Foundation �Membership Report May 27, 2003 Page 2 The Committee met by conference call on March 27 and focused its discussion on the following four areas. Membership Renewal The Committee provided input to staff on the renewal letter and accomplishments piece. The Committee agreed that now more than ever it is important to have a theme, "collaboration with other grantmakers", reflected in all our marketing efforts. There was consensus that more detail needs to be offered on the additional funds needed for the technology plan. It was also suggested that staff, as appropriate, add a personal note to each letter, such as "enjoyed talking with you" or "it was a pleasure to see you at the trustee event." Following this memo are examples of the Highlights of Accomplishments document that has been tailored to each of the four primary membership groups as a result of the discussion. There was consensus to keep it short, to feature networking activity near the top and also note that CMF is the largest regional association of grantmakers. Letter to new foundations Staff asked for comments on an introductory letter that has been sent to 105 new foundations, whose articles of incorporation have been certified by the State in the past year. It was recommended that the letter be customized further for family foundations by identifying constituent-specific benefits and highlighting the value of personal contact. There was consensus that CMF be presented as helpful with effective grantmaking- but to be careful in not appearing that the organization tells people what they should do. A Committee member noted that "we need to think about what we wish we would have known when we were new." Membership Incentives Staff reviewed two possible opportunities for offering either current small family foundations or new family foundations membership subsidies through grant support from other members. While appreciative of the possible opportunities offered by two members, concern was expressed about the value of this as a one-year "economic fix." There was consensus that discounted memberships not be used as a recruitment tool. The Committee recommended to staff that potential membership development dollars be used to subsidize the cost of meeting registrations, or to fund small regional networking events - wine and cheese receptions or small dinners. Dues Increase The Committee also began to discuss how to best communicate the planned dues increase for 2004. Due to the economy, there was agreement that members be offered two years to meet the new dues level. It was noted that the real cost of membership - the $500 minimum - needs to be explained for the smaller foundations. The Committee recommended crafting a pie chart as a way of explaining the use of dues' dollars, with an amount allocated to each of the six key purposes. The Committee will reconvene this summer to: review a plan for the dues increase that can be shared with members at the Annual Conference, discuss strategies for reaching out and involving those members that do not participate in any CMF activity and to target key foundations that are potential members. The value of the long-term relationships that can be developed through CMF 2 �Membership Report May 27, 2003 Page 3 was noted. The idea of a mentor network will be revisited along with how CMF can make it easier for existing members to invite a potential member to an event. The Committee will also be reviewing a proposal from an operating foundation to change the dues struchJre as it relates to such members. All membership renewal letters have been mailed. We are pleased to note the following 91 members have paid their renewal grant. We have instituted a new policy that reminder letters will now be mailed within 90 days after the renewal letter has been sent. If you see one of these members, be sure to thank them for their continuing support of CMF.

Mawby, Chair C. David Campbell, CMF Board Chair Robert S. Collier, CMF President Julie F. Cummings, Vice Chair David 0. Egner, Tmstee Dorothy A. Johnson, President Emeritus Kathy Agard, Executive Director Re: Learning to Give Progress Report This report is presented in three sections. The first section reviews a series of recommendations from the Steering Committee. The second section focuses on highlights that have taken place since the February CMF Board Meeting. The third section summarizes the Plan of Work for the next year. We are very grateful to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for a three-year, $2.5 million grant to allow Learning to Give to continue its leadership activities in Michigan and support the dissemination in other targeted states. I. Recommendation: that Learning to Give raise funds from individual gifts The Steering Committee at its May 8, 2003 meeting considered a recommendation to seek support for Learning to Give from individual contributors. The LTG project has been supported, to-date, by generous foundation grants, government contracts, and a small amount of generated revenue. Now that there is a track record of success and tangible products, a natural step is to seek individual donor support. After discussion regarding the potential pool of donors, including educators involved in the LTG project, and potential sponsorship opportunities, the Steering Committee recommends to the Council of Michigan Foundations Board ofTrustees that Learning to Give seek individual donor support through a fall solicitation campaign. The results of the first year effort will be evaluated at the spring 2004 Steering Committee meeting. If approved by CMF, 2:1 challenge gifts totaling $30,000 have already been pledged to launch this effort. II. Recommendation: that Learning to Give sell lesson packets and materials in certain circumstances Learning to Give provides all of its materials for free to educators via the internet. One option for raising additional revenue for LTG is in packaging and selling the educational materials to specific audiences. The Steering Committee is recommending packaging philanthropy education materials by topical areas-such as women in philanthropy, AfricanAmerican philanthropy, etc- and selling these packaged materials to groups interested in placing special interest educational resources in the classroom. For example, women's foundations might purchase the women in philanthropy package for local schools for Women's History month. �Learning to Give Report May 27,2003 Page2 In addition, schools are now requesting from LTG printed packages of lesson plans (for example all of the grades 3-5 lessons) rather than wanting to take the time to download and print the lessons from the Web-site. The Steering Committee recommends that LTG sell, at a profit, the lessons, briefing papers, or other educational materials when educators ask for the hard copy versions. They will remain available for free via the Web-site for those who want to access them. III. Recommendation: that Learning to Give charge fees for some consultations As Learning to Give gains a national presence, educational groups are starting to call to inquire about onsite workshops, seminars, and teacher in-service education. The Steering Committee is recommending that the Learning to Give staff implement a differential fee schedule for providing this consultation. While the exact fees will be determined by the situation, the policy suggested is: Consultation in Michigan: Consultation in Selected States:* Consultation in Other States: No Fee Charge all direct expenses including the actual cost of the consultant's time Charge substantial fees for a profit *Nine states have been identified as the key states for launching LTG to national scale. These states are: Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvan ia, Florida, New Hampshire, Texas, and California. The nine states educate approximately 50% of the K-12 students nationally. IV. Recommendation: that the second theme of Lea rning to Give (Philanthropy and Civil Society) be edited in order to highligh t civic engagement skills. Considerable national interest is currently focused on the lack of political/electoral engagement of young people, and the low scores ofUnited States high school students related to American history on national assessment tests. Learning to Give teaches both the content and the political process skills being called for by these major national groups. Because the process skills (persuasive public speaking, petitioning, advocating, running meetings, debate etc) are not mentioned in the Learning to Give benchmarks, they do not show up on our lesson search engine-even though the teachers are using these techniques to teach the philanthropy content. This recommendation will add four benchmarks to the Learning to Give framework 's second theme-Philanthropy and Civil Society-which defines what we are teaching students. Learning to Give will then be able to claim what is already there in response to this new national interest. 2 �Learning to Give Report May 27,2003 Page 3 Highlights The fo llowing are highlights of the key activities of LTG since our last meeting. W.K. Kellogg Foundation Grant of $2.5 million Approved In March, Learning to Give received word that a grant for $2.5 million over three years (2003-2006) has been approved. Further details about the grant follow in the plan of work report. We are delighted and deeply appreciative ofthe Kellogg Foundation's continued support. Scrivner Award Unit at the Council on Foundations' National Conference The Council on Foundations accepted LTG's proposal to write original high school lessons on contemporary philanthropists based on the annual winner of the Scrivner Award for Creative Grantmaking. The lesson booklet was presented to the four founders of the Funders Collaborative for Strong Latino Communities at the annual meeting of COF in Dallas this spring. This lesson will be available on the LTG Web-site in June. Women Philanthropists Poster An initial women philanthropists poster has been printed with the support of the Michigan Women's Foundation. The poster would be a part of the proposed packet of information for teachers on women in philanthropy that would also include: lesson plans, briefing papers, quotations, resource information and a poster. Philanthropy Benchmarks Completed with Lesson Plan With the placement of the lessons on the web-site in June, LTG will have at least one (and usually many more lessons) available to teachers to use in teaching all of the philanthropy benchmarks. LTG is organized into four themes with measurable benchmarks on student knowledge and skills at grades 5, 8, and 11. There are currently 107 benchmarks for each grade level or 321 in all. Ohio Institute Led by Ohio Teachers With the summer institute 2003, LTG will have successfully turned over leadership of the Ohio Institute to the Ohio teachers and the staff at Case Western Reserve University. The experience with Case (the Mandel Center) has been our model for developing the hand-off of the institute to our university partners. The first year, Michigan teachers led the institute. The second year, Michigan and Ohio teachers "team-taught" the institute. This year the Ohio teachers who graduated from the first two institutes are leading the institute on their own.

Advancing giving. May 27,2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Co-Chairs Government Relations Committee Rob Collier, President Re: Government Relations Committee Report The focus of this report is on the House version of the CARE Act and the work of the CMF Public Policy Committee. While the Government Relations Committee has not had an official meeting since the last Board Meeting, there have been several phone calls in addition to the email we all received from Rob Collier on May 12 to discuss the recommendations presented in the two resolutions offered below. I. House Version of the CARE Act 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 C ouncil on Foundations and Members of the 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 self-dealing to match the penalty level on the Intermediate Sanctions regulations. 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. �Government Relations Report May 27, 2003 Page 2 4. Congress should require that the IRS present an annual oversight report to Congress that would inform both Congress and the foundation community on the monitoring and policing of the rare cas.es of excessive compensation and self-dealing. These four recommendations have been developed in partnership with the staff of the Council on Foundations and shared with Congressmen Camp and Levin- Michigan's representatives on the House Ways and Means Committee- as well as tax staff for Congressmen Foley from Florida and Houghton from New York. Background Since April 26 there have been a series of newspaper stories in the San Jose Mercury News, Washington Post and Baltimore Sun, featuring excessive salaries, apparent self-dealing and conflicts of interest by foundations and national nonprofit organizations. These stories have exacerbated the feelings by certain members of Congress that the foundation community and nonprofit sector are doing an inadequate j ob of self-regulation. With less than 120 of the more than 56,000 foundations in the US being audited by the exempt division of the Internal Revenue Service 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 be used for enforcement by the IRS, Congress seems little inclined to give the IRS "new teeth." The provision in the House version of the CARE Act 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. RESOLVED further that similar categories of expenses as applied to public charities by the Internal Revenue Code now be required of private foundations: grant making and program services; management and general administration; and--in lieu of fundraisinginvestment 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 and the requirement that the IRS provide an oversight report to Congress on the impact that this proposal is having on both payout and reporting of administrative expenses. This recommendation was submitted on May 13 to Ellen Dadisman, Vice President Governmental Relations, and Janne Gallagher, Vice President and Legal Counsel of the Council on Foundations. Background Adopting these categories of expenses for private foundations would successfully address the policy concern by members of Congress that substantial amounts of administrative expenses that have nothing to do with grant making are charged against the minimum payout amount with the result that the sums paid out directly to charity are reduced. The form 990 instructions state, in part: "Program services are mainly those activities that the reporting organization was created to conduct and which, along with any activities commenced subsequently, form the basis of the organization's current exemption from tax." In the private foundation context, this would include grant making and any direct charitable activity conducted by the foundation. 2 �Government Relations Report May 27, 2003 Page 3 With respect to management and general expenses, the instructions state: "Report the organization's expenses for overall function and management, rather than for its direct conduct of... program services. Overall management usually includes the salaries and expenses of the chief officer of the organization and that officer's staff. If part of their time is spent directly supervising program services ... ,their salaries and expenses should be allocated among those functions." The internal revenue code requires each private foundation to make charitable expenditures equal to or greater than 5% of the fair market value of its endowment. Direct grants to charity ordinarily constitute more than 90% of the expenditures of private foundations, although the Code allows other expenses to be included in meeting the minimum payout requirement. Under current law, all administrative expenses (other than investment management expenses), so long as they are necessary and reasonable expenses, may be counted against the minimum payout requirement. While private foundations are required to allocate total expenses between investment expenses and administrative expenses, a different set of rules applies to public charities. For reporting purposes, a public charity must allocate total expenses into three functions: program services; management and general; and fundraising. The rules for making these allocations are detailed in the instructions to the IRS Form 990. The House Version ofthe CARE Act includes a provision to exclude all administrative expenses from the payout calculation of private foundations. This provision is being presented as a solution to increasing the payout rate and "getting more money out the door to charities." The movement to increase payout has been fueled by an article from the Harvard Business Review indicating that the foundation conununity should increase payout and share an additional $30 billion with charities. The article is co-authored by former Senator Bill Bradley and two colleagues from McKinsey and Company who argue that the money is more valuable now than if it is endowed. The COF lobbyist has informed us that he does not believe there is enough support to remove this provision from the Bill and has sought our input on alternatives to carve out grantmaking expenses as an allowable expense to be included in the payout calculation. He has also advised that there is interest on the part ofthe Ways and Means staffto sunset this provision in five years and have an independent analysis completed for Congress. Apparently Congress has no confidence in the IRS to perform such an analysis, so we have suggested the Urban Institute be considered. We have also revisited the conclusions from the Payout Study completed by Cambridge Associates in 1997 with staff from the Council on Foundations and their lobbyist. Apparently there is little interest in Congress to consider the issues of perpetuity and donor intent at this time. We have provided the three years of new investment returns to Bruce Myers at Cambridge Associates, however, there does not seem to be benefit to having this data analyzed at this time. This provision in the CARE Act has resulted in a number of articles both in favor and opposed, most recently in the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Sets of these and the earlier articles mentioned above will be available for interested Trustees at the Board Meeting. 3 �Government Relations Report May 27, 2003 Page4 II. Public Policy Committee At the February Board Meeting, we reported that the Public Policy Committee bad held the first in a series of briefings with State Department Heads - on January 28 with Tom Watkins Superintendent of Public Instruction and Kathleen Strauss, President of the State Board of Education. Three additional briefings have been held since that time: • Economic Development with David Hollister, Director, Department of Consumer and Industry Services on March 26 attended by 28 grantmakers. Grantmaker perspectives were given by: David Egner, President, Hudson-Webber Foundation and Jack Litzenberg, Senior Progran1 Officer, C.S. Mott Foundation • Community Health with Janet Olszewski, Director, Department of Community Health, on April 25 attended by 20 grantmakers. Grantmaker perspectives were given by: Dr. Ira Strumwasser, Executive Director and CEO, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation and Glenn Kossick, Executive Director, Metro Health Foundation • Children & Families with Nanette Bowler, Director, Family Independent Agency on May 29 attended by 30 grantmakers. Grantrnaker perspectives will be given by Carol Goss, VP for Programs, The Skillman Foundation, and John Colina, President, Colina Foundation. In addition the Committee and staff have: • Co-sponsored the May 9 Conference "P artnerships in the Era of Term Limits: A Conversation Between State Policymakers & Nonprofits" with the Johnson Center on Philanthropy at Grand Valley State University. • Presented a panel discussion on What Foundations can do in Public Policy at the May 20 Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference in Lansing. David Egner, President, Hudson-Webber Foundation, Diana Sieger, President, Grand Rapids Community Foundation, and Fred Shell, President & D irector, DTE Energy Foundation formed the panel that was moderated by Vicki Rosenberg. • Formed a partnership with the Michigan Nonprofit Association to pilot Regional Public Policy Councils in Battle Creek and Flint. The Councils will provide regional forums for engaging and educating nonprofits and grantmakers in public policy discussions. The Public Policy Committee continues to focus its education campaign on public policy engagement and on the six focus issues: early childhood, K-12 education, land use/sprawl, TANF Reauthorization/Welfare Reform, Safety Net, and health care access.

On May 28, 2003, the Audit & F inance Committee will meet to review the enclosed audit report. Below are some brief highlights. Combined Balance Sheet During 2002-03 the cash for MCFV decreased by $2.7 million due to the completion of the Computer and Enhanced Technical Assistance grants. CMF cash increased by $1.8 million due to the contributions received for the Riecker Leadership Fund and Tobacco Settlement funds that have not been fu lly disbursed. Investments The decrease from the prior year is due to the downward trend of the U.S . stock market in 2002-03, which resulted in negative retum s of (13%)-(14%) for the endowment funds, for the year ended March 31,2003. Grants Receivable The increase from the prior year is due to the Kellogg $2.4 m illion Leaming to Give grant awarded in March 2003. Accounts Payable The increase from the prior year is due to professional fees invoices outstanding at 3-3 1-03 associated with the Enhanced Technical Assistance grant. The Williams Group and FERA completed several projects in the first quarter of2003, as the funding for the Enhanced T/A grant came to an end �Accrued Grants Payable The increase from the prior year is due to Tobacco Settlement grants that were in process for payment at 3-3 1-03. Net Assets Pem1anently Restricted -the increase is due to the Riecker Leadership Fund established in September 2002. Combined Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets Revenue Grants Support The increase from the prior year is due to ilie following: Increased funding LTG from Kellogg $2.4 m less Lilly from 01-02 $1 million.

Net Unrealized and Realized Gains The decrease from the prior year is due to the falling U.S. stock market in 2002-03. Expenses Grants The decreased from the prior year is due to ilie reduction in Tobacco Settlement grants awarded to community foundations in 2002-03, resulting from the reduced funding from the State. Conference Registration fees for the Annual Conference on Mackinac Island were down due to participants purchasing meal tickets separating from the Grand Hotel. Normally the registration fees include ilie cost of meals. 2 �CMF Council of Michigan Founcfations Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving. May 27, 2003 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: David R. Lindberg RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations March 31, 2003 , Internal Financial Statements RESOLVED that the CMF Board ofTrustees accept the Council of Michigan Foundations' and Support Organizations' March 31, 2003 internal financial report, as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. For the year ending March 31,2003, a surplus of$146,871 was generated from Member Services, which includes the CMF Core Operations and Community Foundation Endowment Fund. Member Services Note 1: Member Contributions While overall dues from existing members have remained relatively constant, losses due to non-renewing members exceeded management' s expectations. As of March 31, 2003,48 members had not renewed their membership for 2002-03, which is in line with membership associations around the country that are down I 0%. Revenue from new members for last half of 2001-02 less than budget Revenue from new members for 2002-03 less than budget 48 Delinquent members at 3-31-03 $18,000 14,000 32,500 After March 31, 2003, five members have paid their 2002-03 dues totaling $8,910, which has not been reflected in the 2002-03 revenue figures. T his leaves 43 non-renewing members as ofMay 13, 2003. �Note 2: Conference Income & Expenses The variance from budget is the result of meal charges being eliminated from the registration fees for the Annual Conference on Mackinac Island. Registrants were required to purchase meal tickets directly from the Grand Hotel. The following meetings have added to the overall surplus in 2002-03. Meetin2 Investment Workshop Boston College Seminar Conversations Workshops Annual Conference Bud2eted Surplus $0 0 0 50,000 Actual Surplus $3,036 11,008 3,700 72,000 Note 3: Publication Income The variance from budget is the result of the sales for the13th Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory falling off sooner than anticipated. Even with the reduction in sales of the 131h Edition, we still anticipate a slight profit, based on the original budgeted surplus of $45,000. Note 4: Computer/Technology $32,000 of the variance is due to software upgrades, primarily to the membership database, that have been delayed pending the start of the database portion of the technology project, scheduled for late May. Note 5: Travel $12,000 of the variance is due to an overall reduction in airline ticket prices and an effort to reduce other travel expenses in light of the tight economy. The remaining variance is due to travel for community foundation work that was charged to the WKKF III grant under MCFV vs. the Community Foundation Fund due to the March 31, 2004, end date of this grant. Note 6: Excess Revenues over Expenses $83,000 of the year end surplus was generated from core operations with $64,000 coming from the Community Foundation Endowment Fund. 2 �Endowment Funds On Febmary 18, 2003, the CMF Board ofTrustees approved the establishment ofthe Community Foundation Technology Fund with the transfer of $382,593 from MCFV. The purpose of this fund is to help support the ongoing technology needs of community foundations. In keeping with the original proposal letter to Kellogg, this fund was established from the repaid computer loans to community foundations and interest accumulated from the community foundation computer grant. With the establishment of the Community Foundation Technology Fund, CMF now has 8 permanent endowment funds totaling $9,716,000 in assets. Note 7: Other Grants- Riecker Leadership Fund This fund was established in September 2002 with pledges of$991,000. Note 8: Investment Income Investment income for the endowment funds, which are invested 70% stocks and 30% bonds, was budgeted at $0 for the year ending March 31, 2003.

May 27,2003 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Robert E. Swaney, Jr, Investment Committee Chair Re: CMF 3-31-03 Investment Report RESOLVED that the March 31, 2003, Investment Report as reviewed by the Investment Committee, be accepted. On May 20, 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 that was developed from a sample policy that Fund Evaluation Group, an investment consulting firm, had developed for the community foundation field. Based on feedback from the committee, Mr. Lindberg will make further revisions to the policy. Final approval on the policy revisions is expected from the Investment Committee at its next meeting in August. Once this process is complete the CMF Board of Trustees will be presented with the final version for approval at the November 2003 Board meeting. The enclosed Investment Report is presented in three sections. Investment Performance Report The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula listed below, using the Lipper median returns provided by Comerica on a quarterly basis. Asset Class S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 REIT International Equities Short Bond Bond High Yield Bond Fund Cash Old Allocation 40% 10% 6% 0% 14% 15% 15% 0% 0% New Allocation 37% 9% 6% 5% 13% 12.5% 12.5% 5% 0% �Lnvestment Report May 27, 2003 Page 2 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 V.P. 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 due to 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 One of the benchmarks the Investment Committee has been tracking over the last couple of years is the Cambridge Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations. Since the release of this quarterly report typically lags the end of our quarter by two to three months, the latest comparative numbers available are September 30, 2002. 1:\Scuddington\Board ofTrustees\Meetings2003\June 6-2003Packet\JnvestmentReport.doc 2 �Council of Michigan Foundations Permanent Funds Investment Performance Report March 31, 2003 One Year Actual Bench Return Mark Compound Annual Three Year Actual Bench Return Mark Five Year Bench Actual Mark Return William Allen Fund -14.56% -14.01% -7.73% -7.38% -0.18% -1.19% Mawby Endowment Funds -13.48% -14.01% -6.86% -7.38% 0.50% -1.19% Community Found Endowment -14.04% -14.01% -6.75% -7.38% 0.55% -1.19% Johnson Educational Fund -13.17% -14.01% N/A -7.38% N/A -1 .19% KYIP Fund -13.48% -1 4.01% -6.97% -7.38% 0.73% -1.19% MCFYP Endowment Fund -13.14% -14.01% N/A -7.38% N/A -1.19% Margaret Reicker Leadership Fund N/A -14.01% N/A -7.38% N/A -1.19% Community Found Tech Fund N/A - 14.01% N/A -7.38% N/A -1.19% Bench Mark Is based on the targeted asset allocation using the Lipper median returns for the following categories Lipper Large Cap Core Lipper Mid Cap Core Lipper Small Cap Core Lipper International Equity Lipper Corp.

Advancing giving. May27, 2003 To: C. David Campbell, Chair & Members of the CMF Board of Trustees From: Julie F. Cummings, Vice Chair, Private Foundations & Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Susan Howbert, Director, Family Philanthropy Services Subject: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following activities for family foundations: Next Generation Seminar Conference Call Series Eight members of the next generation of Michigan family foundations, calling in from six States, participated in the conference call series pilot. The series of three, one-hour long conference calls was led by Bob Selverstone, Ph.D., and focused on issues critical to successful fami ly foundation Board function such as trust and transition, power and control, and effective communication. Seminar 1 addressed how foundations are shaped by both cultural and personal influences and helped participants anticipate and plan for the future. Seminar II provided an opportunity to discuss issues of personal power and influence, and learn strategies for enhancing personal effectiveness and satisfaction, while creating more democratic and successful board meetings. Seminar 111 focused on creating ownership for the next generation and continuing the legacy with all generations feeling comfortable. The series concluded with the participants agreeing to work together to develop a list of"Ten Helpful Hints to Help Multi-Generational Family Foundations Thrive", in addition to compiling a tip sheet of generational characteristics to help people working in multigenerational situations. Family Foundation Trustee Networking " Coffee and Conversation" Family foundation trustees, members of the next generation and staff are invited to participate in one of two "coffee and conversation" meetings being held on Friday, May 30 at Applewood, the Charles Stewart Mott and Ruth Rawlings Mott Estate in Flint, and Tuesday, June 10 at the home ofKate Pew Wolters in Grand Rapids. The focus of the meetings will be early childhood education and school readiness. The conversation will be led by Carl Ill, from the Allegan Intermediate School District, an expert on early childhood education, especially as it relates to school success. �Family Philanthropy Report May 27, 2003 Page 2 The convening of family foundations is being led by John and Nancy Colina, Colina Foundation; Jackie and Tom Cook, Cook Family Foundation; Carol Paine-McGovern, Paine Family Foundation; and Betsy Stover, Frederick S. Upton Foundation and CMF Trustee, who have been working on a fanuly foundation public policy initiative called "Be Ready By Five and Bring the Family." Family Foundations Summer Reception (PLUS Seminar) Julie and Peter Cummings graciously have offered to host this summer's northern Michigan networking reception for family foundations at their home in Charlevoix. The sununer reception provides a wonderful opportunity for members to network and non-members to learn about CMF's family philanthropy program. This year, in combination with the reception, we will be offering a summer semiinar on public policy, "Making Change Permanent." We would love to have CMF T rustees attend and will let you know the date as soon as it is set! Last year, fifty-five family foundation trustees enjoyed the hospitality of Betsy and Woody Stover at Walloon Lake and Ted and Junia D oan at Higgins Lake. 51h Annual Family Foundations Retreat-November 8-9, 2003, Grand Rapids Plans are being made for CMF's 5 1h Annual Family Foundations Retreat. Ginny Esposito, President, National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP), and Kelin Gersick, Senior Partner, Lansberg, Gersick & Associates, have been invited to be presenters. Ginny is the founding president ofNCFP. A fonner vice president of the Council on Foundations, she served as founder and managing director of the Council's Program on Family Philanthropy. She has written and spoken on a broad variety of topics within the field of fam ily philanthropy and served as editor for The Family Foundation Library Series, a four-volume set of comprehensive books on family foundation governance, management, grantmaking and family issues.

Advancing giving. May 27,2003 To: C. David Campbell, Chair & Members of the Board of Trustees From: Libby Cherin & Gerald Smith, Co-Chairs Leadership Committee for Diversity & Inclusion Re: Diversity & Inclusion Initiative Introduction In February 2002, the Board of Trustees approved the 2002 CMF Strategic Plan including: • • • A new Vision Statement calling for CMF to be The Premier Philanthropic Association. New Value Statements committing CMF to (see Attachment One): o Building relationships to last. o Striving for diversity and inclusion. o Acting as a servant-leader for organized philanthropy. o Having, sharing and seeking knowledge. o Striving for excellence in everything we do. New objectives & strategies that wouJd enable CMF to: o Recruit and retain a diverse group of members representing all segments of Michigan philanthropy through a set of policies and programs developed with member input. Leadership Committee for Diversity & Inclusion After several months of data-gathering, CMF created a Leadership Committee on Diversity & Inclusion to inform and lead an initiative in this area. The Committee is made up of 16 members (see Attachment Two for Committee Roster). Vicki Rosenberg is lead staff on the initiative with assistance from Karen Middleton, Program Associate in theSE Michigan office. May 2003 Planning Retreat On May 12 and 13, 2003, the newly formed Leadership Committee participated in a two-day p lanning retreat at Seasons on the Fetzer Institute grounds in Kalamazoo to: • Define their role; • Establish short and long term goals; • Determine benchmarks to measure progress over time. Rosenberg, Middleton and Rob Collier participated in the two-day retreat facilitated by Dr. Patricia Moore Harbour. Dr. Harbour is the founding director of Healing the Heart ofDiversity, a diversity leadership training and consulting organization in Maryland. Dr. Harbour's work was initiated at the Fetzer Institute during her tenure as a founding fellow. It bas subsequently received support from the Ford Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Dav id & Lucile Packard Foundation. Dr. Harbour serves as a consultant on diversity with organizations across the U.S. Among her clients are the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Fetzer Institute, and the Ruth Mott Foundation (see Attachment Three for Dr. Harbour's bio). �Diversity & Inclusion Report May 27, 2003 Page 2 Outcomes of the Planning Retreat The Retreat was successful in terms of: • Creating a unified leadership team from among a diverse group of members; • Generating many ideas regarding the Committee's role, information needs, priority next steps, and possible future steps. These ideas and next steps will be discussed with the cochairs and Dr. Harbour on June 3, 2003. Among 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 Annual Conference. • Developing core messages. • Participating in diversity training as a Committee. • Gathering member input to create a baseline for diversity and inclusion among Michigan grantmakers CMF is grateful to the Fetzer Institute for a grant of $7,400 that provided all lodging, meals and supplies for the Retreat and covered half of Dr. Harbour's fees. 2 �ATTACHMENT ONE CMF VALUE STATEMENTS (Full text) Approved February 2002 We build relationships to last - with our members first- and with the philanthropic, non-profit, private, and public sectors, and the general public second - through advocating and networking. Our goal is to know every member well, to represent every individual engaged in organized, l\11ichigan-based philanthropy, and to include a diverse group of members in our thinking and planning. Our existing and future relationships with leaders in all sectors will bring added value to our members individually and collectively. \Y/e strive for diversity and inclusion -- in our staff, our membership, our Board, and our activities. Our goal is to understand the range of philanthropic perspectives held and traditions followed by our members and to share those with. grantmakers through our programs and publications. By diversity, we mean men and women of all cultures, ethnicities, lifestyles, ages, beliefs, backgrounds, skills and abilities, races, and sexual orientations. We encourage members to join with us by developing their own commitment to diversity and inclusion for the future of philanthropy in l\11ichigan. \"JV'e act as a servant-leader for organized philanthr opy - by promoting and increasing philanthropy in Michigan. We serve by understanding and meeting members' collective needs. We lead by anticipating and then meeting members' collective needs. In this role, we espouse the highest ethical standards. Our success is measured by the health and vitality of organized philanthropy in l\11ichigan and by the level of civil society in our state -now and in the future. We have, share and seek knowledge - with our members and in support of our members - through education and networking. Our knowledge is personified by staifwith deep expertise in philanthropic principles and best practices worldwide - from the technical to the topical to the philosophical, and with skills in research and communications; by members who continually redefine best practices and represent expertise in a vast array of subjects and on a wide range of issues; and by partners and collaborators who enrich our understanding of the needs for and impact of organized philanthropy. W/e strive for excellence in everything we do- through a strong infrastructure-- clear goals, strong leadership, expert staff and effective management systems - that enable us to be nimble, entrepreneurial, and good stewards of our resources. These qualities allow us to provide our members with the best, most comprehensive services available to organized philanthropy anywhere. We believe to achieve excellence requires CMF as a whole- each staff member and the Board of Trustees - to reflect, innovate, communicate, grow., and improve. Our goal is to have all members recognize CMF as the most valuable association to which they belong. 3 �ATTACHMENT TWO Leadership Committee Roster • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Libby Cherin, President & CEO, Fremont Area Community Foundation, Co-Chair Gerald Smith, President & CEO, Detroit Youth Foundation, Co-Chair Tom Cook, Executive Director, Cook Family Foundation, Owosso DeDe Esque, Program Officer, Nokomis Foundation, Grand Rapids Lynn Farrell, Program Officer, Frey Foundation, Grand Rapids Ernie Gutierrez, Program Officer, the Kresge Foundation, Troy Barbara Allen Hall, Program Officer, Whirlpool Foundation, Benton Harbor Alison Ham1on, Senior Program Officer, Skillman Foundation, Detroit Diane Horey, Program Officer, Michigan Women's Foundation, Livonia Lalune Montgomery-Talley, Vice President for Finance & Treasurer, W.K.

Advancing giving. May27, 2003 To: C. David Campbell & Members of the CMF Board of Trustees From: S. Martin Taylor, Vice Chair-Corporate Foundations Susan Howbert, Director, Corporate Grantmaking Subject: Corporate Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following activities for corporate foundations and giving programs: Boston College's Center for Corporate Citizenship Twenty-five corporate grantmakers participated in "Evaluating and Measuring Programs and Strategies", a two day course offered by Boston College's Center for Corporate Citizenship at G .M. University on May 14 & 15, 2003. Thanks to our sponsor, General Motors, it was possible for CMF to offer this valuable course at a significantly reduced cost. In the past 11 months, CMF has offered three Boston College courses to Michigan' s corporate grantmakers: The Institute on Corporate Community Involvement, Strategic Planning, and Evaluating and Measuring Programs and Strategies. This has provided CMF' s corporate members the wonderful opportunity of completing the certification process locally. We are proud to report that over 20 members of southeast Michigan ' s corporate grantmaking community will be receiving their Certificate of Corporate Community Relations in the m ail shortly! Boston College Is Coming to CMF's 2003 Annual Conference We are delighted to announce that one of Boston College's newest courses, "Communicating and Branding Corporate Citizenship" will be offered at this year's annual conference, allowing registrants to earn three credits from Boston College while attending the conference. Participants will learn all aspects of building an effective communication plan, an integral ingredient of any corporate citizenship program, and in this world of increased transparency and pressure to communicate intemally and externally, a necessary tool for success. This is the first time that Boston College has offered a course as part of another organization' s conference, and we anticipate that it will provide the value added that corporations look for when deciding whether to attend a conference. �Corporate Report May 27, 2003 Page 2 For those corporate grantmakers who received their Certificate as a result of the previous courses offered in southeast Michigan, they will be able to begin work on their advance certification, held by only 50 individuals nationally. Boston College offers the only certification in the field, and has successfully trained over 5,000 executives from more than I ,000 major corporations, preparing them to take leadership roles in their organizations. Michigan Forward-May 2003 Edition We were happy to partner again with the Michigan Chamber of Commerce on the May edition of its magazine, Michigan Forward. The cover story features articles provided by CMF on corporate giving. The articles include: "The Case for Matching Gifts", "Being a Good Corporate Citizen in a Down Economy", "The Importance of Accountability, Enhancing Charitable Giving, and Be a Knowledgeable Corporate Giver". A copy of the magazine is in the back pocket of your board book. 1:\Scuddington\Board of Trustees\Meetings2003\June 6-2003 Packet\CorporateReport.doc 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. May 27,2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chair, and Members Board ofTrustees From: Rob Collier, President Vicki Rosenberg, COO Re: Annual Conference Discussion Points CMF currently has signed contracts for the Annual Conference with the Hyatt Regency Dearborn for 2004 and the Grand Traverse Resort for 2005 . It is time to sign contracts for 2006- 08. Therefore, we welcome your counsel on the following four discussion points. 1. Casinos With the Tribe's purchase of the Grand Traverse Resort, we have been told that there will likely be video slot machines in the Resort's lobby by the time we arrive in October 2005. CMF has never taken an official position on the issue of casinos. Do we want to go forward with the Conference at the Resort? If so, do we want to consider the Soaring Eagle Resort in Mt. Pleasant for a future Conference? 2. Days of the Week Until our 2000 Conference at the Grand Traverse Resort, the Annual Conference was traditionally on a Wednesday through Friday noon format. One advantage of the Monday through Wednesday or Sunday through Tuesday format is the ability to hold the Family Foundations Retreat immediately before. Should we stay with this format or move back to the Wednesday through Friday schedule? 3. Month The 2000 Conference was held for the first time in years in early fall from the traditional early November date. While recognizing the need to avoid the Fall C01mnunity Foundations Conference of the Council on Foundations, should we move the Annual Conference to an earlier fall date? 4. Adding the Grand Hotel to the Schedule. If casinos are acceptable then the Grand Traverse Resort and Soaring Eagle are sites for the Conference. If not, we are limited to the Renaissance Marriott, Dearborn Hyatt Regency, and Amway Grand. With the addition of a new tower ofrooms, the Radisson Kalamazoo will be able to again accommodate the Conference and is planned for 2006. We now know that we can hold the Conference at the Grand despite the logistical challenges. Should we go back?

Advancing giving. May27, 2003 To: C. David Campbell & Members of the CMF Board ofTrustees From: Diana Sieger, Vice Chair-Community Foundations Donnell Mersereau, Director, Community Foundations Re: Community Foundation Update Community Foundation Committee The Community Foundation Committee continues to have conference calls every other month with staff to provide guidance and oversight on a variety of important initiatives. For example, the "Database Taskforce" is reviewing changes in the collection, storage and retrieval of Michigan community foundation data to better analyze trends in growth, donors and grants. The "Accountability Taskforce" is researching opportunities for community foundations to better defme and collect meaningful outcomes and performance measures with grantees. The "Affiliate Taskforce" is developing guidelines, best practices and potential new definitions for lead foundation relationships with their affiliate funds. As summer quickly approaches so does Building Foundations 2003, a multi-session learning series to help Michigan community foundations build their marketing capacity. Offered as a tollfree conference call with a facilitated on-line presentation, participants will engage in live dialogue with consultants and peers. Session titles include: Setting Market Strategy, Targeting Key Audiences, Shaping Communications, and Forming Relationships. Legislative Issues With current Michigan state budget cuts, the Community Foundation Tobacco Settlement Partnership's allocation has been reduced to $2 million for the current fiscal year and is anticipated to be reduced further to $1 million folf the upcoming 2004 budget. Community Foundation CEO Retreat More than 50 Michigan community foundation Executive Directors attended the CMF Community Foundation CEO Retreat March 6 & 7 at Brook Lodge. Presenting at this two-day retreat was Susan Herr, Managing Director of Accountability Initiatives for Community Foundations of America, and former senior program officer for The Chicago Community Trust. Ms. Herr addressed "Community Foundations and Nonprofits: Partners Facing the Challenges of Accountability." Mark Sedway, consultant with Williams Group and past Director of Communications with the Irvine Foundation, engaged the group in a discussion around "Community Catalyst: How Community Foundations Can Act as Agents for Local Change." CEO's also participated in small group discussions on important community foundation issues such as "fund development in lean times." �Community Foundation Report May 27, 2003 Page 2 Community Foundation Program Officers' Retreat Over 40 Michigan community foundation program staff met on March 20 & 21 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Kalamazoo, to network and share information. Sharon Parks, Senior Planning/Research/Communications Associate from the Michigan League for Human Services spoke on "State Budget Cuts: Local Impact." The group also discussed such topics as "Doing More with Less: Creating Impact in a Down Economy" and "Convening: An Important Role for Community Foundations." The Kalamazoo Community Foundation hosted this year's retreat and provided opportunities for site visits to grantee organizations. Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV) The MCFV Board of Trustees provides oversight to several initiatives and grants. The "Community Foundation R & D Incubator" was successful in providing key product development for the national release of marketing tools last fall at the national COF Community Foundation conference in Atlanta. Since then, the Incubator has facilitated numerous nationwide capacity development calls designed to add community foundations in the customization and implementation of the marketing tools. Research and development has already begun for the next portfolio of marketing and communication tools to be released this fall at the COF Community Foundation conference in Baltimore, through the National Marketing Action Team (NMAT). 1:\Scuddington\Board ofTmstees\Meetings2003Vune 6-2003Packet\Community FoundationReport6-03.doc 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was the first major new foundation to be established since the 1980s and immediately became an important part of the philanthropic assets of this region. The program priorities and the scale of assets positioned the foundation to make a real difference in the charitable needs of our area, particularly in the lives of poor people.

John Ziraldo and Tonya Allen have been visible in the community and have developed close relationships with the nonprofit organizations working in the foundation's fields of interest. These relationships have often allowed John and Tonya to encourage organizations to new levels of excellence in serving people in need. It is with surprise, then, that we have learned from nonprofit organizations of the sudden change in focus of the Thompson-McCully Foundation. Of even greater concern is bearing from the leaders of nonprofit organizations who believed they had a finn multi-year funding commitment from the foundation, but have been notified that future payments on existing grants are being cancelled. These notifications have stated that lhe actions are being taken not because of any problems with the way the projects are being carried out by the grantees, but because of the change in focus of the foundation's grants program. We assume that your legaJ counsel has confirmed that the foundation has no legal responsibility for damages to these grantees. However, we would urge you to reconsider these actions on the basis of what is fair to these groups and the people who are served by them. ydJ Yeo Wd!SO<~Link MAmorrill FoondHIIOO SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN OFFICE 333 West Fort Street.

Thompson January 17, 2003 Page 2 of2 We (and others who work with nonprofits in our region) have begun hearing from some of the foundation's grantees that are canceling programs that serve people who are hungry, in need of shelter and without work. Other grantees are trying to preserve the work the foundation has supported, but are struggling to find donors who will pick up the funding that the foundation has abruptly cancelled. As you know, nonprofits, and especially human service organizations, are facing some of the toughest challenges in thei.r history due to our weak economy. They are being overwhelmed with requests for help and other donors are not in a position to increase their support. Mr. Thompson, we are not suggesting that you should change from the new direction you have chosen for the foundation. We are urging you, however, to re-consider the cancellation of prom ised payments on grants the foundation has already approved. The Council of Michigan Foundations is committed Lo promoting effective philanthropy in Michigan. P lease call on us if you feel we can be helpful in managing this change in the foundation's focus in a way that will not be harmful to the nonprofit organizations with which you have current commitments.

DC 20036· ~168 (202)466-6512 · FAX (202) 785-3926 Recent Reforms in Corporate Governance Should Foundations C hange Too'? Janne G. Gallagher Deputy General Counsel October 10, 2002 1 The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of2002 makes sweeping changes in the governance of public companies, including requirements with respect to the independence of auditors, the role of the audit committee, minimum standards for directors to be considered independent, and a host of other law c hanges designed to protect investors and the public. By its terms Sarbanes-Oxley appHes only to public companies- businesses that issue publicly-traded stock. However, although Sarbanes-Oxley does not apply to them, some charities are asking whether they should adopt similar rules voluntarily to bolster public confidence in their financial integrity. The Coalition for Nonprofit Health Care ("CNHC"), an umbrella organization for nonprofit hospitals, believes that it is only a matter of time until some of these corporate reforms are applied to nonprofit organizations. A July report by the coalition2 cites statements by several state assistant attorneys general that their nonprofit oversight wi ll include corporate governance. ln addition, the IRS has just announced that it is considering adding a series of questions to Fonn 990 addressing accounting practices and the veracity of information provided to the public. Possible questions include: o Whether the organization has a confljct of interest policy o Whether the organization has an independent audit committee The IRS also is asking whether there should be additional disclosure, beyond the considerable detail a lready required, for transactions between the organization and its substantial contributors, officers, directors, trustees, and key employees. The balance of this memorandum is a list and brief discussion of Sarbanes-Ox ley reforms that could be adopted voluntarily by charitable nonprofit organizations. Not all of these 1 Public Law o. 107-204 (July 30, 2002). 2 Coalition for Nonprofit Health Care, WhJte Paper: "'Corporale Responsibility Proposals' That Could Be Extended to Nonprofit Health Care Organizations" (July L8, 2002), htro://www.c nhc.org/ru.!fl.CQ_roorate%20Responsibi Iit y.pd fC vI ). PDF. �reforms will be appropriate for all charities. However, as the current '·gold standard" for corporate responsibility, charity executives and boards would be well-advised to consider whether some reforms are appropriate for voluntary adoption. Altached at the end of this memorandum are the nine steps that the Coalition for Nonprofit Health Care has recommended its members take voluntarily. Auditor Committees and Outside Auditors Audit Committees The Sarbanes-Oxley reforms substantially strengthen the independence of corporate audit comm ittees. Measures that charitable nonprofits could adopt voluntarily include: • Establishing an audit committee if the organization does not already have one; • Requiring that audit committee members be independent. That is, members of the audit committee could not be employed by the charity, or any organization affiliated with the charity, and could not accept compensation from U1e charity for providing services other than as a board member; • Making the audit committee directly responsible for hiring, compensating, and overseeing the work of the foundation's outside auditor; • Disclosing whether the audit committee has at least one member who is a financial expert; and • Providing for "whistleblower" access to the committee. Obtaining Consulting or Other Services from a C ha rity's Outside Auditor Sarbanes-Oxley bars companies from purchasing the following services from the company's outside auditor: • • • • • • • • Bookkeeping and other services related to ilie accounting records or financial statements; Design and implementation of financial systems; Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, and contribution-in-kind reports; Actuarial services; Internal audit outsourcing services; Management functions or human resources; Broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services; and Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit. The legislation autl1orizes the SEC to add to this list and also provides that the company's audit committee must approve, in advance, the provision of any oilier non-audit services by the company's outside auditor. Charities could consider whether they should voluntarily refrain from purchasing similar services from their outside auditor. 2 �Audit Partner Rotation Sarbanes-Oxley requires the outside auditor to designate a new lead aud it partner and a new audit review partner at least every five years. Charities could weigh the desirability of a similar rotation against the increased audit cost that may result. Code of E thics for Senior Financial Officers Sarbanes-Ox Icy requires companies to disclose whether or not they have adopted a code of ethics for their seruor financial officials that is applicable to its principal financial officer, its comptroller, and its principal accounting officers (or persons performing similar functions). If the company has not adopted such a code, it must explain why it has not. The code of ethics is to include those standards reasonably necessary to promote: • • • Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; Full, fair, accurate timely, and understandable disclosures in the company's periodic reports; and Compliance with applicable governmental rules and regulations. Charities could weigh whether to adopt a s imilar code of ethics for their principal financial officers. Disclosures and Certifications Financial Statement Certification Sarbanes-Oxley requires a company's CEO and its CFO to sign quarterly and annual reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Conunission. The signature of the two officers attests that: • The officer has reviewed the report; • To the officer's knowledge, the report does not contain any untrue statements or omit any material facts; • To the officer's knowledge, all financial information fairly represents the company's financial condition for the period covered by the report; • The officers have designed and arc maintaining internal controls that ensure that marerial information about the company and its consol idated subsidiaries is made known to the officers. rn addition, the officers must: • o Evaluate the effectiveness of the internal contro ls withjn 90 days of the date lhe report is filed; and o Disclose in the report their conclusions about the controls' effectiveness; The officers have disclosed to the company's auditors and to its audit committee: 3 �o All significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that could adversely affect the company's ability to process and report financial data, including the identification to the auditors of any material weaknesses in the internal controls; and o Any fraud, whetl1er or not material, on the part of management or other employees with a significant role in the internal audit process. The charity equivalent would be for ilie CEO or CFO to s ign the charity's Form 990 or Fon11 990-PF (the IRS pennits any officer to sign these documents). Charities also could consider adopting internal control systems similar to those required for public companies and issuing an annual statement evaluating the effectiveness of those controls. Related P a r ty a nd Off-books Rela tionships Sarbanes-Oxley requires companies to disclose all material transactions not included in the company's balance sheet and all relationships wilh unconsolidated entities or other persons that may materially affect the company's current or future financial condition, Liquidity, capital resources, and so forth. Complex corporate and financial structures a re far tess prevalent among cbarities;3 however, those charities that do have transactions or relationships that fall within the spirit of this rule may want to consider disclosures analogous to those required of regulated companies. Co mpensation I ssues Loans to Executives and Board Mem bers Sarbanes-Oxley prohibits personal loans or other extensions of credit to company directors or executive officers. Existing loans are grandfathered. Adopting a blanket rule like this voluntarily is likely to be controversial since some charities include mortgage loans, loan guarantees, or similar extensions of credit as part of a package to induce executives to relocate and s uch loans are legally permissible as long as the economic bene fit of any belowmarket loan, when added to the individual's other compensation, does not render the total unreasonable. Nonetheless, Ole inclusion of this provision in Sarbanes-Oxlcy suggests that charities may want to revisit their policies on loans to executives and consider whether other fom1s of compensation may be more appropriate or less controversial. Executive Co mpensation Sarbanes-Oxley did not include provisions addressing the disclosure of executive compensation. However, President Bush has challenged CEOs to describe in plain English in tlleir annual reports every detail of their compensation packages and to explain how that package is in the best interests of the company's shareholders. Executive compensation must 3 They are not unknown, however.

Charity CEO compensation is disclosed in Form 990 or Form 990-PF. Charities could consider whether to adopt additional disclosures in the spirit of the President's challenge to business executives. Coalition for Nonprofit H ealth Care Recommended Action Steps for Nonprofit Health Care Organizations A July 18, 2002 White Paper prepared by the Coalition includes the following nine steps that nonprofit health care organizations can take immediately, in anticipation of the adoption of formal reforms applicable to nonprofit organizations generally: • Adopt internal accounting controls and accounting practices that will facilitate the ability ofCEOs and CFOs to personally vouch for the organization's financial statements; • Understand and be prepared to disclose or defend any related party transactions or off-balance sheet transactions engaged in by the organization; • Assess the independence of directors, outside auditors, and outside advisors carefully and, if necessary, take measures to reduce conflicts of interest; • Evaluate the use of independent audit firms for other services; • Establish or assess the independence of dedicated audit committees, nominating cornn1ittees, and compensation committees; • Adopt clear record-retention policies; • Understand and compose a detailed description of executive compensation packages, including a clear explanation of why the packages are in the best interest of the nonprofit health care organization; • Evaluate governance policies and procedures in light of the Subcommittee's report on the Eruon board and strengthen board understanding of fiduciary duties; and Review the financial condition, accounting practices, and fLDancial statements of for-profit subsidiaries, and considering the extent to which the above items may affect the activities of and disclosures made with respect to for-profit subsidiaries. 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. February 10, 2003 Memo to: Members of the Board of Trustees From: David Campbell, Chainnan Rob Collier, President Re: CMF Principles and Practices As reviewed at the Executive Committee Meeting in January, we are requesting discussion and action on the following recommendation. RESOLVED that a Committee be formed to review the CMF Principles and Practices adopted in 1997 with recommendations for changes to be presented to the Board of Trustees at its fall 2003 Meeting. Further, the Committee shall work with the Membership Committee to present a recommendation on the value of making the Principles and Practices a condition of membership in CMF. In addition, we hope that the recommendations of the Committee and whatever action is taken by the Board can be shared at the Annual Members Meeting that follows the fall Board Meeting. Background Attached are a copy of the CMF Principles and Practices adopted in 1997 and a list of the Committee that oversaw their development. Also attached is a copy of the Council on Foundations (COF) Principles and Practices for Effective Grantmaking adopted last June. It is interesting to note how COF has addressed the issues of accountability and diversity in this updated version. COF has made subscribing to these Principles and Practices a condition of membership. CMF has not taken this step. In light of the increased scrutiny being placed on philanthropy by policymakers and the media, the Executive Committee feels it is time to review and update CMF's Principles and Practices and to discuss the issue of whether or not they should be a condition of membership. While we do not want to give foundations and corporate giving programs a reason to not join CMF, it is important to take a clear stand on these principles and practices. Finally, we are also enclosing for your review a copy of Recent Reforms in Corporate Governance by Janne Gallagher, Deputy General Counsel for COF. We look forward to discussing these issues with you. �CMF Council of Michigan Fou ncfations Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving. February 11, 2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Principles and Practices Discussion Last June the Board of Directors of the Council on Foundations (COF) adopted Principles and Practices for Effective Grantmaking, a copy of which is enclosed. CMF adopted our Principles and Practices in 1997, a copy of which is also enclosed. Is it time to revisit and update our Principles and Practices. Given the regulatory environment for philanthropy and the nonprofit sector, should we consider making them a requirement of membership? COF does make it a condition of membership, as does the Council of Minnesota Foundations. Finally, I am also enclosing a copy of Recent Reforms in Corporate Governance by Janne Gallagher, Deputy General Counsel for COF. I look forward to your counsel on making this a substantive discussion at the February Board Meeting. �CMF Council of Michi an Foun1ations Servmg grantnrake rs. Advancing g1vlng Council of Michigan Foundations Principles & Practices Michigan is blessed with a tradition of philanthropic giving. This is demonstrated in part by an increasing number of foundations and corporate giving programs that are vital partners with the public. private and nonprofit sectors in strengthening the quality of life for a ll residents. Members of the Council ofMichigan Foundations (CMF) have requested information and guidance on matters to consider when assessing lhc operational effectiveness of their foundation or corporate giving program. Likewise, individuals considering the formation of a private or community foundation or corporate giving program (hereafter referred to as grantmakers/grantmaking organization), have asked for a similar checklist of guidelines to consider. With this in mind, the CMF Board of Trustees has adopted the following ten Principles that are highlighted in bold. The CMF Board recognizes that there are many different approaches to implementation of each principle. Therefore, following each principle are examples of practices that have proven to be beneficial to one or more Michigan grantmakers in achieving the principle. While mnny of these practices are required by law, a number are unique to specific types of grantmakers. In the latter category, it is intended that grantmakers choose among the practices that best suit their operational requirements. lntended to be instructional, these practices are updated annually in order to share what works well for grantmakers. Other examples of practices and materials to implement each principle are available from the CMF office. Additional ideas are always welcome. I. Honor donor intent by respecting the basic purposes and expectations as set forth by tbe donor(s) in documents or other forms of communication creating the grantmaking organiz~ltion. '-- • Have donor(s) talk about their interests and expectations with the board, ideally videotaping the meeting for future reference and generations. Encourage donor(s) to be as clear as possible about their purpose in creating the grantmaking organization. • Make certain that copies of the creating documents and any other written correspondence are available in a manual for each board member. • Request that each board member reread the organizing documents and any other purpose statements, at least once a year. �Principles & Practices Page 2 • Reiterate the donor's intent in any annual report or other foundation publications. • If our changing society makes follo~ring the donor's specific instructions impractical, find related alternati ve strategies ofgran tmaking that reasonably honor the donor·s intent. 2. Have an identifiable d ecision -ma king body r espons ible for determining and revisiting periodically the policies that defin e the p r ogram interests a nd obj ectives to be served . • In most cases, the founder establishes the fi rst board. In selecting board members, qualifications to consider may 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 -will ingness to become informed. • Orient new board members to thei r responsibilities by sharing written materials including the organizational documents, any written correspondence from the founder and individual meetings with other board members and staf[ • Establish a plan and process for the periodic review of board member per formance as a body and individuall y. • If compensation is provided. consider the appropriateness of fees in relation to board member responsibi lities and the time commitment in board service. 3. Be accounta ble to the law and to the responsibilities of being a fidu ciary a nd of tax exemption. • Board members must be familiar with all federal and state legal requirements including such subjects as the private foundation pay-out, excise tax and self-dealing laws, annual filing of 990 P F and 990, as well as state requirements. • Consider lhe merit of an annual independent a udit. Most grantmakers of any size have an independent audit. Adopt.:d by the CMI- Board of Trustees- 1997 2 I Scudllmgton' Board ofTrustces\Prmcipals &. Practiccs\No~ - 2000.doc �Principles & Practices Page3 • Make certain that sufficient administrative funding is maintained to assure that the grantmaker can carry out its mission effectively. Expenses should not be excessive or disproportionate to the amounts spent directly for grants and technical assistance to grantees. Review salary and expense surveys compiled by grantmaker associations. • Develop investment objectives and asset allocation policies to help insure appropriate oversight of investment performance. 4. Adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior. • Establish processes to ensure that personal interests of board members and staff do not conflict with grantmaker·s mission and purpose. • Establish a conflict of interest policy. Such a policy may include: -Procedure to disclose organizational afmiations with grantees, potential grantees or other constituents or vendors with whom the organization does business, -Procedures for decision-making when a board member or employee has a real or perceived conflict of interest, -Policy on acceptance of fees or entertainment from a grantee or a potential grantee. 5. Review a nd eva lua te periodically the mission, policies, grantmaking priorities and practices. • Review on an annual basis governing principles and policies. Depending on the number and scope. such a review may be established on a rotating basis for a certain month of each year. • Some grantmakers conduct their own review internally, others enlist outside help to conduct an annual review. Others use grantees and ouher representatives of the community to help assess current needs and problems.

Be accessible in r esponding clearly and promptly to requests fo r informa tion and grant applications. • Publish an address and the name of an individual to contact for information. Grantmakers that maintain offices, if feasible. should also publish a phone number, office location and office hours. • Make information available to at least one publisher of a foundation directory, and ideally all, in order that correct information regarding a grantmaker's purposes and priorities may be available to the public. • Make information available to the Foundation Center and CMF, in order that correct information regarding a grantmaker's purposes and priorities may be published in directories available to the Public. 7. Deal respectfully with applicants, grantees and donors to help a ddress shared goals. • Respond in a timely manner to all requests. • Be clear about any reponing requirements and the nature of any monitoring that will take place. Some grant makers include a list of standard requirements in the grant award letter. 8. Ma ke readily available basic information about fundin g priorities, application requirements, a nd gran tmaking through publishing and distributing periodic communication tools such as an annual r eport. • The format, detai l and dissemination strategies of such publications or materials need to be appropriate to the size and complexity of the grantmaker's program and to the needs of its prospective grant applicants. • As appropriate, the following administrative information about each grantmaking organization should be included: • • • • name of board members, names and titles of officers. listing of s taff. and financial information, including total income. expenditures, and a balance sheet. Adopted by the CMF Board ofTruste.:s- 1997 I Scuddmg1on\Boanl ofTru~1ee<s\Princ1pals & Pracliccs 4 ov - 2000.doc �Principles & Practices Page 5 • Provide a fu ll and clear description of its grantmaking process, including for example, information about its: - - • mission and goals. program interests, funding priorities and any restrictions on what is supported, geographic Iimitations, if any, preferred format for applications, application deadlines, statements of when and how requests will be acknowledged. an estimate of the time needed for a decision, a list of grants made in the previous year, policies and practices related to muJti-year funding, and average size and range of grants made. \\'hen a policy or procedure changes significantly, those affected, including grant applicants, should be advised within a reasonable period of time. 9. Draw on the full range of human talents available for boa rd service, sta ff, and consultants. • Some grantmakers have established a diversity policy to help them in considering how to obtain the best qualified individual for each task. • Some grantmakers consider the demographics of their geographic area served when nominating board members and selecting staff 10. Learn by networking with other grantmakers and by participating in organizations, like CMF, that support the field of philanthropy. • Many grantmakers regularly meet to exchange ideas. to collaborate on a grant project or to hear from informed speakers. • Consider joining groups like your regional association of grantmakers (CMF).

Foundations and corporate grvmg programs reflect philanthropiC impulses to promote the publ1c good We recogniZe the wrde dtversrty of philanthroprc goals. We also stnve to respect donors' chantable mtentions expressed 1n organtzallonal charters and core documents as we apply our philanthropic resources to contemporary socral condrtrons. We attend to the future through prudent stewardship of financtal and other resources and we recognize that accountability calls for openness, responsiveness, fairness a nd trust In ShOJI, we hold ourselves responsible to those who created us, those wrth whom we currently interact and those who may look to us tn the future. Clear Goals and Procedures Clarity of Purpose. We establish policies and procedures that define our program mterests and our fundamental objectives Governing Body. An idenbfiable board, commrttee or other deCISIOnmaking body is responsible for establishing and rmplementrng our pohc1es and procedures and revtewing and revrsrng them on a regular baSIS Grantmaking Procedures. We establish and follow clear processes for recervrng, reviewing and acttng on grant appllcattons that are consrstent wrth our pollaes and purposes We communrcate openly wtth grantseekers about our grantmaking policres and procedures We make readily available a brief written statement about policies, program mterests, grantmaking practices, geographic and policy restrictions and preferred ways of receiving applications. It is important that grantseekers whose proposals fall outsrde our interests are notified rn a timely manner and that those whose proposals are strll under consrderatJon are informed of the steps and timrng that will be taken 1n reaching the final decisron. Informing the Public. All forms required by government are completed accurately and filed in a timely manner. In addttion, we inform the public about our actrvitres through various means such as publication of periodic reports (including annual reports, newsletters and reports to national and http://w\V\\ .cof.orglresources/prinprac.htrn J/Jsnoo3 �l ouncil on J· oundations Page 2 ofJ local orgamzations that publish information on grantmaking) and through electronrc and other communications channels Legal Knowledge Comply1ng with the law is essential and we recogmze that Inadvertent v1olattons can occur if the basic legal rules are not understood We provide for adequate trainmg and ongoing legal advice to ensure that our governing board and staff are well Informed Accountability 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 chantable institutions we serve, to the general public and to appropriate national and local governmental agenc1es 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. Conflic ts of Interest. Beyond the legal requirements that forbid staff, board members and thelf fam1hes from profiting financially from any ph1lanthrop1c grant or actiVIty, we we1gh carefully all Circumstances m wh1ch there exists the possibility or appearance of conflict of Interest. Our policies require staff and board members to disclose to their governing bod1es the nature of any personal or family affiliation or involvement with any orgamzat1on for which a grant is considered, even though such affiliation may not give nse 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 wh1ch our funds onginally came. Diversity We affirm and value human diversity in its many forms. We seek diversity to ensure that a range of perspectives, op1n1ons and experiences is recogmzed and acted upon to enhance our ab1hty to contribute to the common good in our chang1ng 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 pract1ces Constructive Relationships Grantseekers. The relationship between grantmaker and grantseeker IS based on mutual respect, candor and understandmg. We strive to ensure that each invests the necessary time and attent1on 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.

February 10, 2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan, and Members ofthe Board ofTrustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Presentation of 2003-04 Plan of Work and Budget cc: Vicki Rosenberg, Chief Operating Officer David Lindberg, Vice President Finance & Administration As presented to the Executive Committee last month, on behalf of the staff and management team, I am pleased to present the proposed Plan of Work and Budget for the fiscal year starting April 1, 2003. We look fotward to a productive discussion on these items at the February Board Meeting. Introduction This memo outlines priorities for the new fiscal year and our progress in relationship to the eight metrics of the Strategic Plan. Vicki Rosenberg will review the next document which is the Strategic Plan Update that highlights both accomplishments in the first nine months of this year and new activities proposed for the 2003 Plan of Work. The 2003 Plan of Work document is also included as a reference tool. Dave Lindberg will review the 2003 Budget, which includes the three primary sections: member services, endowments and special projects. Priorities On April 1, 2003 CMF begins the second year of work based on the Strategic Plan. Our staff planning for the new fiscal year began with a review of changes to our operating environment and the implications of those changes on assumptions that influenced the Strategic Plan. Key factors identified are: • • • The continuing impact of the bear economy on both members and CMF endowed assets The increased scrutiny of the foundation sector by policy makers and the media The growing competition in the philanthropic infrastructure at a time of diminished resources and support from national infrastructure funders In response to these factors and our progress to date on this year's Plan of Work in implementing the Strategic Plan, the following five strategic priorities are offered for the new fiscal year. 1. Member Retention With less than 45 days to go in the fiscal year, we have 62 members that have not paid their dues. While we have taken a number of steps to get these members to renew, it has become apparent that we will not be successful this year in completing the first metric of the Strategic Plan - 95% �2003-04 Plan of Work and Budget February II , 2003 Page 2 membership retention. The economy is a challenge, and we need to ask for help from the Board and satisfied members in communicating with their peers to reinforce the value of membership. We are exploring a number of strategies that we plan on discussing with the membership committee, which we hope to convene before April 1. 2. Membership Recruitment We are pleased that 14 new members have joined this year. While this is an important accomplishment, we do not anticipate meeting the second metric of the Strategic Plan - 35 new members per year. In January we mailed 45 membership infommtion packets to new foundations. Our marketing to potential members will take on added intensity in the new fiscal year. An important discussion item for the Executive Committee will be the proposed Philanthropy Advisors Network - a new way of marketing CMF through the gatekeepers to those creating new foundations -the advisors to the wealthy. In addition, we will be working with the Membership Committee on the strategy of a family foundations subcommittee to help better address this growing group of foundations in Michigan. 3. Coordinated Marketing of Educational Opportunities With increased scrutiny of the philanthropic sector by policy makers and media, it seems vital that we stress best practices in our educational offerings. We can best do this by focusing on the core competencies of governance, finance, administration, grantmaking and communication - a priority of the Strategic Plan. These offerings must include a targeted marketing effort to trustees. Vicki Rosenberg is leading our internal educational team in addressing this priority. 4. A Helpful Regulatory Environment for Philanthropy Our State government has just experienced the largest turnover in 40 years due to term limits. While we have a good relationship with the new Governor and the leadership in the Senate is very supportive, the House of Representatives represents a challenge. The Bi-partisan Philanthropy Caucus will be a new tool to help address this challenge. In January we conducted the first annual survey to detennine members anticipated grantmaking for the next year. In this survey we ask them for the names of legislators they are willing to talk with about philanthropy. In addition, our efforts in Washington will focus on mitigating efforts to add onerous reporting requirements for corporate grantmakers, and getting the excise tax on private foundations simplified to one percent. 5. Strengthening our Internal Infrastructure The three-year Board approved technology plan w ith the firm ITP is well underway and will continue to be a high priority in the new fiscal year. We are excited about having the new web site ready to launch on April I. Other key activities planned in this area include further staff training on program management and diversity, and a proposed Board self-assessment process with Board Source for the June meeting. Whether it be technology or staff development, the end result has to be increased services for members that strengthen the value of membership. �2003-04 Plan of Work and Budget February II , 2003 Page 3 Strategic Plan Metrics CMF's success in achieving the objectives of the Strategic Plan will be measured by eight metrics that we intend to achieve by March 31, 2005. Staff reviews progress on these metrics on a quarterly basis. The initial two metric indicators for the Strategic Plan related to membership have been discussed above. This progress report reviews efforts in the past nine months on the remaining six metrics. To have 95% of the membership rate CMF membership as valuable. The Strategic Plan requires a biennial member satisfaction survey. The next survey wi ll take place in 2003. Staff is currently reviewing different survey instruments and has requested funds for this activity in the proposed budget. To help create 70 new foundations, corporate giving programs, or community funds. In the first nine months of this year, staff has prov ided assistance to 18 individuals, families, their advisors and companies on establishing foundations, corporate giving programs or donor advised funds at community foundations. In 2003, we will contact each to detennine whether or not they have completed the steps in creating their formal giving programs. To develop quantitative data about philanthropy's impact in Michigan. Activity begins this winter with a Community Foundations Task Force to help CMF develop a statewide database on community foundation activity. A key test of this database will be its ability to provide data useful to both individual community foundations and CMF in its work with policy makers and the media on the impact of community foundations. This database will hopefully offer a template for collecting effectiveness data on the other key constituent groups. To have 60% of members participate in CMF networking and education programs. Staff is now tracking member participation through our association database. At present 46% of CMF's members are participating in education and networking programs. To increase participation in educational offerings, we will be increasing the number of teleconferences and web based programs. We feel that more trustees will participate if they can do it from their office or home and not have to travel. This service will also allow us to serve more Trustees living out of state. To have 40% of members connected to state public officials. Our January 2003 member survey will begin to provide quantitative data on this metric. This will be a priority for the first six months of2003 as we d!etermine existing relationships and key state legislators that need to be matched with CMF members. To leverage $1 for every $1 committed by members to a public private partnership administered by CMF. We are tracking progress on this metric for the following three partnerships and are pleased with these early results. • 11 members have contributed $1.475 million to the Michigan IDA Partnership to match the $3.1 million from the State. In addition, a number of members have contributed more than $250,000 directly to the Regional Coordinating Organizations and local program sites for IDA matches. �2003-04 Plan of Work and Budget February II , 2003 Page 4 • 21 community foundations have partnered with local Continuum of Care Committees to raise $274,398 to match $274,398 from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) for Emergency Homelessness Prevention Funds and Summit Meetings. • The evaluator for the Tobacco Settlement Partnership is now tracking additional local leverage generated by the 65 participating community foundations for the endowed Healthy Youth and Healthy Senior Funds. While endowment building is challenging due to the weak economy, we expect this number to grow over time. Conclusion The five priorities for the new fiscal year and the progress on the metric indicators for the Strategic Plan reviewed above present a framework for introducing the next document - the Strategic Plan Update prepared by Vicki Rosenberg. The purpose of this Update is to review the objectives from the Strategic Plan under each of the six purposes while highlighting both accomplishments to date and activities for 2003 from the new Plan of Work. The bolded text signifies new activities. �CMF Council of Michigan Foundations FY2003 Plan of Work Serving grantmakers.Advancing giving.

Advancing g1v1ng February 10. 2003 Me mo lo: David Campbell, C hair, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Proposed CMF Philanthropy Advisors Network Building on the discussion at the January Executive Committee Meeting, the following recommendation is being presented for discussion and action. RESOLVED that tbe C MF Philanthropy Advisors Network be created as a two year pilot to better serve advisors (lawyers, accountant , fina ncial planner s , bank trust office rs, etc.) by providing resources for their clients, whom they are helping create foundation s and organized giv ing programs that will be potential members of CMF. The CMF Philanthropy Advisors Network (Network) will have an annual fee of$200. Subscribers to the Network will be individual advisors - not firms- and will be provided with the fo llowing benefits: • • • A pass code to a special section of the CMF web si te that will allow them to download two new resources for their clients interested in starting a fo undation or working with a community foundation. The right to register for the Annual Conference on a first come first served basis for l 00 places reserved for subscribers at the no nmember rate Attendance at a special reception for Network subscribers at the Annual Conference Our goal will be to have at least I00 subscribers, with the priority being lawyers, by the March 3 1,2005 . An Advisory Committee of up to 10 subscribers will be convened annually at the Annual Conference to recommend topics for resources be ing provided to subscribers and to assist in determining the feas ibility of making the Network an ongoing service and expanding it beyond attorneys to other types of advisors in 2005. Staff will work with the Finance Committee to annually review the cost implications of the Network. Background: Research conducted by The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI ) and CMF in 1995 and validated by surveys conducted by The C hro nicle of Philanthrop y has confirmed that advisors, especially attorneys, are looking for resources that: (1) he lp them feel more comfortable �CMF Philanthropy Advisors Network Page 2 in talking about philanthropy with their clients; {2) they can give to clients about philanthropic options. CMF is working with ICLE (Institute for Conti nuing Legal Education) and the Trusts and Estates Section of the Michigan Bar to address the first need thro ugh the following activities we hope to have underway by April I , 2003. • • • • • Sample documents credited to CMF will be submitted to for ICLE's Sample Documents website. ICLE will agree to co-publish or at a minimum promote CMF 's Establishing A Charilable Foundalion in Michigan CMF will provide content on philanthropy resources and options for the spring issue of the Section's Jo urnal CMF wi II co-sponsor a speaker on philanthropy at the Section's Annual Conferences in Traverse City and Troy CMF will write an annual pamphlet on philanlhro py for the Section's pamphlet series The proposed Network described above will respond to the second need - providing advisors with resources to give to their clients. For example, advisors would like to have examples to share with clients of families that have created foundations or set up donor advised funds at community foundations. CMF could pre pare examples on both individuals and families that subscribers to the Network would be able to download from the CMF website by using a pass code. Another example is resources to help clients e ngage their adult children in the process of creating the family foundation. We believe that providing subscr ibers with two resources annually plus a special reception at the Annual Conference are reasonable benefits for the proposed fee of$200. Those subscri bers attending the A nnua l Conference (up to I00) would be informed or the non-solic itation policy that CMF has had in effect for every Annual Confe rence. This proposal is not considered a membership in CMF but offers a potential new revenue source. lt was encouraged by Henry G rix, incoming Chair of the Trusts and Estates Section of the State Bar, at a meeting Susan Howbert and 1 had with him in November. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. February 10, 2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Ira Strumwasser & Betsy Upton Stover, Co-Chairs, Membership Committee Re: Membership Report cc: Rob Collier & Jeri Fischer Since the September 29, 2002 Board of Trustees meeting, seven foundations have applied for and met our criteria for membership - five family, one community and one corporate foundation. In addition, the Michigan Colleges Foundation, a public charitable foundation, has applied for membership but is not being recommended for m embership because the organization has a single focus to only fund private colleges in Michigan. As described in the attached criterion for Public Foundation m embership, single focus public foundations do not qualify for membership. The fo llowing resolution is therefore presented for your consideration and action. RESOLVED that the following foundations be approved for membership: Bingham Family Foundation, St . Clair Shores Michael D. Murray, Accountant Delphi Foundation, Troy Misty Matthews, Coordinator, Community & Government Relations Henry C. & Audrienne Murray Foundation, Petoskey James J Murray, President Edward & Elyse Rogers Family Foundation, Midland Elyse M. Rogers, President Roscommon County Community Foundation, Roscommon Mary T. F1y, Executive Director Ghassan M. Saab Foundation, F lint Ghassan Saab, Resident Agent W.S. & Lois Van Dalson Foundation, Kalamazoo Alfred J Gemrich, Trustee/Secretary Background With the addition of these seven members, we have 15 new members for the year. However, in addition to the 13 membe rs already dropped from membership as reported at the last Board Meeting, we are dropping seven additional members at this time. • The James P. & Debra K. Hovinga Charitable Foundation of Grand Haven A personal visit this fall confim1ed that the Foundation is not active but will rejoin once it is reactivated by family members . �Membership Report February 2003 Page 2 • The Alger Regional Community Foundation in Munising This independent community foundation has been absorbed into the Community Foundation of the Upper Peninsula and will now become a member with community foundation affiliate status because of its Kellogg Youth Fund. • Brackett Memorial Fund The Fund's contact reports assets are too low to merit continuing membership. • Hecht Family Foundation The Fund's contact reports they joined as a favor to Dottie and assets are too low to merit renewal. They can be served through the Loosemore Foundation membership. • Burdick - Thome Foundation and Ronald Kinney Foundation Their same legal advisor reports that assets have dropped too low to justify membership. Rob is meeting with the advisor in March. • Ronald Palmer Family Foundation Another member reports the family is no longer active with their foundation and does not feel they will continue membership. CMF started the fiscal year with 427 members, which means we have a net loss of five members at this time for a total of 422. The following chart summarizes the current membership composition: Private: Family Foundations Independent Foundations 181 @44% 59@14% Foundations Affiliates Donor-Advised Funds Supporting Organization 57@13% 30@ 7% 4@ 1% 1@ 0% Foundations Giving Programs 30@ 7% 31@ 7% Foundations Donor-Advised Funds 21@ 6% 2@ -0- Community: Corporate: Public: Out-of-State Associate: Private Foundations Community Fdn. Totals: 240 58% 92 21% 61 14% 23 6% 6 1% 422 100% 5@ 1% 1@ -0422 100% �Membership Report February 2003 Page 3 Membership Retention and Recruitment With six weeks to go in the fiscal year, there are 53 unpaid members. This group can be summarized as follows and is listed in the attached chart: 37 family foundations, 4 independent, 4 corporate giving, 2 corporate foundations, 4 public charities, 1 community foundation and 1 out-of-state associate. Each of these members received a letter in December. Rob Collier has been calling each to leave a message requesting them to please consider renewing their support. We would like each Trustee to write a personal note to two of these members providing further encouragement. We will provide addressed and stamped envelopes with note cards at the Board Meeting. While financially these members do not represent a huge amount of dues revenue, we want to take every step possible to retain them as members. It should be noted that across the country membership in regional associations continues to suffer due to the drop in assets being experienced by endowed foundations as a result ofthe weak stock market. The Membership Committee is planning on meeting before April 1 to discuss recruitment strategies for this next year. However, the information in the new 131h edition of The Michigan Foundation Directory provides an immediate opportunity. Please review the attached list of foundations, sorted by city and assets, and choose one or two that you would be willing to have us send membership packets to with cover notes from you. While Rob and the staff can write a compelling letter, experience indicates it is more effective when it comes from a peer as opposed to staff. We do realize that some of these foundations have been on past lists and efforts to recruit them as members have been unsuccessfuL Jeri Fischer, Membership Director, will assist you with detailed information about your identified contacts. We would like to mail these packets with your notes by April I. Many thanks as we work to interest more grantmakers En the value of being a CMF member. �Adopted by Doard of Trustees 10/2/01 COUNCIL OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS Criteria for Membership: Public Foundations Public found ations are recognized as public charities by the IRS.

Mawby C. David Campbell RobertS. Collier Julie F. Cummings David 0. Egner Dorothy A. Johnson Kathy Agard Re: Winter 2003 Learning to Give Update Chair, Learning to Give Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member LTG Executive Director Learning to Give continues to make excellent progress on many fronts. Evaluation Report-L TG appears to positively affect school climate At its meeting in November, the Steering Committee received a two-year (20002002) evaluation report from the team at Michigan State University. Teachers and administrators in the pilot schools report that teaching philanthropy at every grade level in a school building is having a positive impact on school climate, discipline, and culture. The report also notes that students are clearly learning the meaning of philanthropy and that the majority are able to use the concepts in ways that demonstrate knowledge about what they have learned. National Advisory Committee-Ideas: outreach to novice teachers The National Advisory Committee met at the Fetzer Institute for two days in October. This meeting focused on the components of national expansion for LTG and helped to frame the relationships with the partner universities in nine states (including Michigan). One of the many excellent suggestions was that LTG, through the university partners, reach out to novice teachers (the first through fifth year of teaching) to provide professional development support and the teaching units. As many as 50% of teachers drop out of teaching in these first years. If supported so that they remain in teaching, LTG would be incorporated into and remain a part of their teaching plans for many years. Pilot Schools-Second Year/preparing for standardized test development Thirty-three pilot schools in thirteen school districts continue to teach the LTG units at least two times per year at each grade level. Mid-year de-briefings with the teachers continue to show high levels of enthusiasm and positive student outcomes. LTG collects original student work from these classrooms for evaluation by MSU. At the end of next year, three years into the pilot process, LTG will have students with enough philanthropy education experience to begin �the standardized tests that have been prepared at grades 5, 8, and 11. The schools are listed at the end of this report. Romulus Public Schools has selected LTG units that are now a required part of their core curriculum at the elementary level. They will be extending LTG into the middle and high schools over time, as they follow the "leading edge" of the elementary students currently involved. Learning to Give Schools-another level of participation A number of schools have asked to be involved in LTG, but they are not able to assure that two units would be taught at every grade level each year for three years. When a school has committed to having at least 1/3 of the classrooms teaching LTG for one-year, they have been designated Learning to Give schools and receive a certificate of participation. The schools are listed at the end of this report. Michigan: New Hampshire: Wisconsin: eleven school districts nineteen school buildings three LTG elementary schools one LTG elementary and one LTG middle school All of the Michigan Congressional Districts have some LTG activity in at least one of their area schools. In Florida, the Lutheran Schools are hosting a series of professional development workshops on LTG in Tampa, Orlando, South Miami, Ft. Myers, and Ft. Lauderdale for 600 K-12 Lutheran school teachers. In March, LTG will provide a workshop for teachers in Pinellas County Schools in St. Petersburg. Intermediate School District Model-second year successes The Muskegon Area Intermediate School District model to infuse philanthropy education into the core consulting strategies of the lSD staff is progressing in Muskegon County. Funded as a joint venture between the MAISD, LTG, the Muskegon Rotary Foundation, the Community Foundation for Muskegon County (including a substantial gift from the YAC), and the Michigan Community Service Commission, this component seeks to have every student in Muskegon County involved in at least one unit of philanthropy education every year of school. The consultant hired for this project is a 30+ year high school social studies teacher who is also an officer with the Michigan Council for the Social Studies. The Muskegon YAC requested that he provide a verbal report on his progress at the end of the first year (Fall 2002). We all smiled at how nervous he was to make this report in person-even after 30 years in front of high school students daily! This project will continue for another year. Learning to Give Update Page 2 �Teacher Professional Development-M.Ed. participation grows The Ferris State University M.Ed. with a concentration in philanthropic studies continues to attract new students. Online courses were offered in the fall and winter term. The second summer residential experience, and the first-time offering of the second residential experience will occur in the summer of 2003. The first class of M.ED. students will graduate in 2004. Three summer institutes are planned for the summer of 2003, pending funding approval: Michigan in partnership with the Dorothy A. Johnson Center at Grand Valley State University, Indiana in partnership with the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, and Ohio in partnership with the Mandel Center at Case Western Reserve University. University Partnerships-waiting for next steps University partnerships with GVSU, Indiana University, and Case Western Reserve in Ohio are actively underway. Partnerships with the University of New Hampshire, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Penn State, San Francisco State, and the University of Texas-Austin are prepared for launching LTG pending future funding. Early conversations are underway with the University of South Florida as the LTG Florida partner. Other National Partnerships-New Joint Ventures Emerging The joint venture proposal with the National Council for the Social Studies has been launched through the submission of companion grant requests to the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. In February, LTG met with the Program Committee of the National Assembly of Health and Human Service Organizations to explore a joint venture that would make the LTG units more accessible to youth workers nationwide. This planning continues to move forward and will be discussed with the Lilly Endowment. A conference call is being scheduled with the National Council of Churches to explore a similar relationship that would bring LTG units to religious educators. A fledgling partnership agreement is under consideration with Areyvut, a new Jewish initiative to bring LTG to Jewish educators in day schools and after school programs. LTG has been providing telephone technical assistance to a new K-12 Institute for Philanthropy that is developing at Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Georgia. The founder of the institute visited LTG in November to discuss their next steps.

Web site-Quotation Search Engine in final stages of programming Usage of the Web site continues to grow monthly. A new search engine program for the quotation section of the site is in the final stages of development at MSU. Staff members are currently capturing all of the book references in the lessons, annotated bibliography of children's literature, and briefing papers to develop a comprehensive overview of the philanthropy oriented books. This list will become the basis for a joint venture agreement with Select Books to sell books from the LTG Web site with a revenue split of 50% of gross profit. Learning to Give Web Usage Report The following chart represents three years' of Web site activity from April, 2000 through December, 2002 (current year-to-date) as reported by WebTrends© software.

Teacher Support Materials-Women Philanthropists Packet Enclosed is a new poster created by LTG with support from the Michigan Women 's Foundation. This is the anchor component to a new package being developed on women philanthropists. The package will include the poster, women philanthropy-oriented units and lessons, related briefing papers, women philanthropist quotations, and children's literature and resource suggestions. Similar packets are being developed on African-American philanthropy, environmental stewardship, core democratic values, and the arts and philanthropy. Finances-proposal submitted to W.K. Kellogg and conversation with the Lilly Endowment The W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant (2000-2003) is now fully expended. The Lilly Endowment funding will carry LTG through June 2003. Other smaller focused grants continue through the end of 2003. Two proposals have been submitted to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in support of LTG. The first is from the National Council for the Social Studies in a joint venture to bring LTG to social studies teachers nationwide and to use the NCSS chapter system to: support the university partnerships; code the LTG resources to specific state educational standards; enhance the LTG Web site; and develop online teacher professional development. The LTG proposal is focused on validating the outcomes in the pilot schools; integrating LTG into other states through partnerships with selected universities; continued quality assurance; sustaining the philanthropy education movement; and completing the formal evaluation. A meeting with the senior program officers in religion, education, and youth development at the Lilly Endowment is scheduled for the end of February. The Endowment has invited LTG to submit another funding request.

Advancing giving. February 8, 2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chair, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Co-Chairs Government Relations Committee Re: Government Relations Committee Report cc: Rob Collier, President Annual Foundations on the Hill Visit On February 4 and 5, staff and trustees from 15 CMF members and 2 potential members joined Rob, Vicki and Dave for meetings with both Senators, 12 Congressional Members and staff from the remaining three Members. A list of the participants is attached. We provided each Member 111 with the 13 edition ofThe Michigan Foundation Directory, a listing of the grantmaking by foundations in their districts, information on schools in their districts using the Learning to Give lesson plans, and fact sheets on the Michigan IDA Partnership, and Tobacco Settlement Partnership. We appreciate the hospitality and support ofCMF Trustee Martin Taylor and DTE Energy for again hosting our educational reception and dinner. Senator Carl Levin spoke to everyone at the reception and welcoming comments were offered by Dot Ridings, President of the Council on Foundations (COF), and Allison Wiley, President ofthe Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers. We were joined for dinner by our new Congressman Thad McCotter, who expressed his suppott for simplification of the excise tax on private foundations. In addition, after dinner we had brief remarks from John Edie, Vice President and Legal Counsel for COF, and Ellen Dadisman, Vice President of Government Relations for COF. We again focused our discussions on two legislative priorities: the IRA Charitable Rollover and Simplification ofthe Excise Tax on Private Foundations to a Flat One Percent. These two priorities are reviewed in the two attached issue papers. SB 272, the Care Act has been introduced in the Senate by Senators Santorum and Lieberman, and contains the IRA Charitable Rollover. SB 256, the Charitable Tax Section of the CARE Act was marked up by the Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Senator Grassley, while we were in Washington. With support from Majority Leader Frist, the CARE Act is on track to be considered by the Senate without amendments. Senator Levin indicated that while he does not support the faith-based provisions in the CARE Act, he feels that it will receive more than the 60 votes needed in the Senate to be passed. We learned that agreement has not been reached in the House on who will re-introduce HR 7, the bill passed in the last Congress that contained both the IRA Charitable Rollover and Simplification of the Excise Tax. There is strong support for both of these provisions by Members of the Michigan delegation and a willingness to sign on as co-sponsors. Two of the original sponsors of HR 7 have retired, so Congressman Crane is now recruiting colleagues to join him in re-introducing the bill. �Government Relations Report February 2003 Page 2 Bill Richardson and Rob Collier met with Lisa Ridlin, stafffor the House Tax Committee chaired by Representative Thomas of California. She indicated that she needs help in making the case that the additional funds freed up by simplifying the excise tax will in fact be used for charitable distributions and not added to the administrative budgets of foundations. Rob Collier will be taking the lead in preparing a packet of materials for her. We also learned that Representative Stearns of Florida has introduced HR 199 to repeal the excise tax. While there are 19 co-sponsors, Representative Camp and other Members of the Michigan delegation do not feel this Bill will receive widespread support. In addition, Representative Gilmore of Ohio has reintroduced HR 275 to tighten up reporting practices for corporate philanthropy. The feeling seems to be that this Bill wi ll only become popular if there is another corporate scandal and that members of Congress feel they took care of this problem with last year's passing of the Sarbanes-Oaxley Bill. Briefing with Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox Now that Mr. Cox has completed the reorganization of his Department, a briefing is being scheduled for later this month with Mr. Cox and Mr. Robert Ianni, the new Director of the Consumer Protection Division, which includes the Charitable Exempt Department. Data on Giving in Michigan and March Legislative Briefing The attached one page sheet provided to the Michigan Congressional delegation summarizes data on giving from three sources. First, the annual State of the State Survey done in November by Michigan State University confirms that giving by individuals continues to exceed 80% of the population. The survey also indicates that more than 70% of residents intend to maintain their charitable giving in 2003 at the same rate as in 2002. Second, the 13th edition of The Michigan Foundation Directory reports that more than 200 new foundations have been created in the past two years in Michigan. Third, 72 CMF members responded to the Zoomerang survey in January requesting information on their planned level of giving in 2003. More than two thirds of this group report that their giving in 2003 will be below the level of2002. This information will be shared in a briefing being scheduled for Michigan legislators and their staff in early March. It has already been provided to Chuck Wilbur, Director of Programs and Policy for Governor Granholm. CMF' s Public Policy Committee On January 28, 47 grantmakers met with Tom Watkins, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in the first in a series of Briefings for grantmakers with State Department Directors being hosted by the Public Policy Committee. Participants will be contacted about possible interest in an informal affinity group offunders interested in education. We are presently working on a briefing with Mr. Hollister, Director of the Department of Consumer and Industry Services for late February or March. Vicki Rosenberg will provide further information on the work of the Cornn1ittee in her report at the Board Meeting on the Plan of Work. �Foundations on the Hill! 2003 Participant List Sandra McAlister Ambrozy Senior Program Officer The Kresge Foundation P.O.Box315 l 3215 W.

Background: Because of the stock market boom of the 1990s, many Americans have large IRAs, some in seven figures. Interest has grown among taxpayers in giving IRA assets to community foundations, private foundations, local charities or creating deferred gifts such as charitable remainder trusts that later benefit charitable organizations. Under current law, any tax-deferred distribution is fully taxable as income. For donors interested in relatively small charitable contributions, the tax effect should be no problem-the IRA disbursement is added to the donor's taxable income and then deducted from income when the gift is made. But two barriers in the tax code can thwart (or penalize) a donor making large gifts: Percentage Limitations: In any year, donors may not deduct more than 50 percent of their income for gifts of cash to public charities (30 percent, if giving to private foundations). Three-percent Floor: Higher income taxpayers may run into a provision that reduces their itemized deductions by up to 3 percent, subject to an overall limit that deductions cannot be reduced below 80 percent of the original amount. A large gift from an IRA can increase a taxpayer's income to the point where this 3 percent reduction applies. Legislative History: In 2001 , Representative Phil Crane (R-IL) and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) introduced companion bills (H.R. 774 and S. 205 respectively) that would allow IRA owners over age 5912 to make tax-free distributions directly to a qualified charity or a qualifying deferred giving plan, such as a charitable remainder trust, pooled income fund or charitable gift annuity. President Bush has indicated his continuing support of this provision. A version of these bills was included in H.R. 7, the Community Solutions Act, which passed the House in July 2001. H.R. 7 would allow both outright and deferred gifts, beginning at age 7012. The Joint Committee on Taxation has estimated the total cost of this version at $2.75 billion over ten years. IRA Charitable Rollover was also included in S. 1924, the Charity Aid, Recovery and Empowerment ("CARE") Act of 2002 sponsored by Senators Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Joe Lieberman (D-CT). On June 19, 2002, the Senate Finance Committee passed a version of the CARE Act that would allow donors at age 5912 to make taxfree rollovers to establish life income gifts (such as a charitable gift annuity). However, donors would have to wait until age 70% to make tax-free rollovers as outright gifts. Despite support from the White House and the charitable giving community, the Senate was unable to bring the CARE Act to a vote on the Senate floor in the 107th Congress. 1OBth Status: On January 23, 2003, Senator Hutchison (R-TX) introduced S. 209, a bill that would again allow IRA owners over age 5912 to make tax-free distributions directly to a qualified charity or deferred giving plan. Senators Santorum and Lieberman, with Senate Finance Chairman Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) included a version of this provision when they introduced the CARE Act of 2003 on January 30. February 2003 �Excise Tax on Private Foundations Position: The Council of Michigan Foundations and the Council on Foundations advocates repeal of the excise tax on private foundation investment income with simplification to a flat 1% the first step. Background: Generally, private foundations are subject to a 2 percent excise tax on their net investment income. The tax is 1 percent in any year in which the foundation's percentage of distributions for charitable purposes exceeds the average percentage of its distributions over the five preceding taxable years. Generally, private non-operating foundations must make annual distributions for charitable purposes equal to roughly 5 percent of the fair market value of the foundation's endowment assets. The excise tax paid by private investment income-$490 million in 2002-acts as a credit in reducing the 5 percent requirement. Because the tax paid qualifies as a credit toward the minimum distribution, eliminating the tax would automatically result in an additional $490 million in qualifying distributions per year-about 90 percent of which typically go to grantsaccording to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) estimates. The policy presents several problems: Under the current two-tiered structure, a foundation is penalized for making a substantial increase in its charitable spending. Many foundations set spending policies of 5 percent to 6 percent to preserve the long-term value of their endowments. A significant increase in one year (while making them eligible for the 1 percent rate for that year) will increase their five-year average spending percentage to a level they are not willing to maintain. As a result, for the next five years, their tax rate doubles to 2 percent. The revenue raised by the tax is not being used for its intended purpose: to cover costs of IRS oversight of exempt organizations. Instead, while the revenue raised by the tax has steadily increased, the number of IRS audits of private foundations has declined, from 1,200 in 1990 to 191 in 1999. The fiscal 2001 budget of the IRS's exempt-organization division is $58 million. Other tax-exempt organizations are audited but are not subject to a similar excise tax. The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) staff has recommended repeal of the tax. In an April2001 report ("Study of the Overall State of the Federal Tax System and Recommendations for Simplification," JCS-3-01, Volume 2, pp. 456-459), the JCT agreed with these points and concluded that the tax should be eliminated because of its complexity. Repeal, the report noted, "would relieve private foundations of having to make the necessary calculations of net investment income, file estimated tax returns, and consider the optimal level of charitable activity in terms of the rate of tax." Legislative History: In the 108th Congress, both the House and Senate introduced bills to repeal the excise tax. In 2001 , Reps. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) and Ways and Means Committee member Phil Crane (R-IL) introduced H.R. 804, which would repeal the excise tax for tax years beginning after 2001. A version of this proposal, providing for a simplification and reduction of the excise tax to 1 percent, was included in H.R. 7, the Community Solutions Act, which passed the House in July 2001. Senators Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Joe Lieberman (D-CT) also included a version of the excise tax inS. 1924, the Charity Aid, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act. However, it was not included in the Chairman's Mark that passed the Senate Finance Committee on June 19, 2002. The Senate was unable to bring the CARE Act to a vote on the Senate floor before the end of the 107th Congress. 108th Status: On January 7, Representative Cliff Stearns (R-FL) introduced H.R. 199, a bill to repeal the excise tax for years beginning after December 31, 2003 (H.R. 199). Reduction of the excise tax was not included in the CARE Act of 2003, introduced on January 30 by Santorum and Lieberman, along with Senate Finance Chairman Charles Grassley (RIA) and Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN). February 2003 �Joint Committee on Taxation February 5, 2003 JCX-07-03 DESCRJPTJON OF CHAIRMAN ' S MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE "CARE ACT OF 2003" SCHEDULED FOR A MARKUP BY THE 1 SENATE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE ON FEBRUARY 5, 2003 A. Modifications to the CARE Act of 2003 2 The fo llowing modifications are made to the provisions of the CA RE Act of 2003 . otilication requirement for exempt entities not currently requir ed to file an annual information return 1. The proposal requires certain tax-exempt organizations that are exempt from the information return (Form 990) fi ling requirement to file an annual notice with the Secretary of the Treasury. The penalty for failure to file the notice for three consecutive years is loss of exempt status. The Chairn1an 's modification extends the penalty of revocation of tax-exempt status to organizations that arc required to fi le an information return under section 6033(a) (Form 990). Under the modification, if an organization fai ls to fi le such an mformation return for three consecutive years, the organization's tax-exempt status is revoked. In addition, an organization's tax-exemption is revoked if the organization fai ls to meet its filing obligation to the Secretary for three consecutive years in cases where the organization is subject to the infonnation return requtrement in one or more years during a three-year period and also is subject to the notice requtrement for one or more years during the same three-year period. The revocation is effective from the date that the Secretary determines was the last day the organization could have timely tiled the third required infonnation return or notice. To again be recognized as tax-exempt, the organization must apply to the Secretary for recognition of tax- 1 This document may be cited as follows: Joint Committee on Taxation, Description of Chairman's Modifications to the Provisions ofthe "CARE Act of2003" Scheduled for a Mar/(Up By the Senate Commiflee on Finance on Febru01y 5, 2003 (JCX-07-03), February 5, 2003. 2 A description of the provisions of the "CARE Act of 2003" is contained in Joint Committee on Taxation, Description ofthe ''CARE Act of2003" (JCX-04-03), February 3, 2003. �exemption, irrespective of whether the organization was required to make an application for recognition of tax-exemption in order to gain tax-exemption originally. If, upon application for tax-exempt status after a revocation under the proposal, the organization shows to the satisfaction of the Secretary reasonable cause for failing to timely file the required annual returns, the organization's tax-exempt status will be reinstated retroactive to the date of revocation. An organization may not challenge under the Internal Revenue Code's declaratory judgment procedures (section 7428) a revocation of tax-exemption made pursuant to the modification. The modification does not affect an organization's obligation under present law to file required infonnation returns or existing penalties for failure to file such returns. In addition to the Secretary's outreach requirements described in the Chairman's mark with respect to the norice, the Secretary is requi red to publicize in a ttmely manner the requirements of the modification in appropnate forms and instructtons and other means of outreach, with respect to the penalty for fa1lure to fi le the information return. The Secretary is authorized to publish a list of organizations whose exempt status is revoked under the modification. 2. Suspension of tax-exempt status of terrorist organizations The Chainnan's modification clarifies that the proposal to suspend the tax-exempt status of certain terrorist organizations appl ies to organizations that are designated or identified as a terrorist organization prior to, on, or after the date of enactment. In addition, if an organization is designated or identified as a terrorist organization prior to the date of enactment, the suspension of the organization's tax-exemption begins from the date of enactment and is not retroactive to the date the organization is designated or ident1fied as a terrorist organization. 3. Payments by charitable organizations to victims of war on terrorism The Chairman's modification extends the proposal to apply to the fami lies of astronauts killed in the line of duty. The Chainnan 's modification is effective for astronauts killed and payments made since January I, 2003. 4. Revenue raising proposals The Chairman's modification changes the effective date with respect to the clarification of the economic substance doctrine (and the related penalty for transactions that lack economic substance) to transactions after February 15, 2004. 2 �B. New Provisions The Chairman's modi fication would add the following provrsions to the CARE Act of 2003: L Cha ritable contribution d eduction for certain expenses in support of Native Alaskan subsistence whaling Present Law Ln computing taxable income, individuals who do not elect the standard deduction may claim itemized deductions, including a deduction (subject to certain limitations) for charitable contributions or gifts made during the taxable year to a qualified charitable organization or governmental entity.3 individuals who elect the standard deduction may not claim a deduc tion for charitable contributions made during the taxable year. No charitable contribution deduction is allowed for a contribution of services. However, unreimbursed expenditures made incident to the rendition of services to an organization, 4 contributions to which are deductible, may constitute a deductible contribution. Specifically, section 170(j) provides that no charitable contribution deduction is allowed for traveling expenses (including amounts expended for meals and lodging) while away from home, whether paid d irectly or by reimbursement, un less there is no significant e lement of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation in such travel. Oescription of ProposaJ The proposal allows individuals to claim a deduction under section 170 not exceeding $ 10,000 per taxable year for certain expenses incurred in carrying out sanctioned whaling activities. The deduction would be available only to an individual who is recognized by the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission as a whaling captain charged with the responsibility of maintaining and carrying out sanctioned wha ling activities. The deduction would be available for reasonable and necessary expenses paid by the taxpayer during the taxable year for: ( l) the acquisition and maintenance of whaling boats, weapons, and gear used in sanctioned whaling activities, (2) the supplying of food for the crew and other provisions for carrying out such activities, and (3) storage and distribution of the catch from such activities. For purposes of the provision, the term "sanctioned whaling activities" meartS subsistence bowhead whale hunting activities conducted pursuant to the management plan of the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission. 1 Sec. 170. Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 unless otherwise indicated. 4 Treas. Reg. sec. l.l 70A- I (g). 3 �Effective Date The proposal is effective for contributions made after December 31 , 2003 . 2. Matching grants to low-income taxpayer clinics for return preparation Present Law The Secretary is authorized to provide up to $6 million per year in matching grants to certain low-income taxpayer clinics that represent low-income taxpayers in controversies with the IRS or that operate programs to inform individua ls for whom English is a second language about their tax-related rights and responsibilities. 5 Description of Proposal The provision authorizes the Secretary to create a separate grant program to provide up to $10 mi ll ion per year in matching grants to not for profit organizations that assist low-income taxpayers in the preparation of their Federal tax returns. Effective Date The provision is effective on the date of enactment 3. Extend enhanced deduction for inventory to include public schools Present Law Under present law, a taxpayer's deduction for charitable contributions of inventory generally is limited to the taxpayer's basis (typically, cost) in the inventory. However, for certain contributions of inventory, C corporations may claim an enhanced deduction equal to the lesser of(!) basis plus one-half of the item's appreciated value (i.e., basis plus one half of fair market value in excess of basis) or (2) two times basis.6 T o be eligible for the enhanced deduction, the contributed property generally must be inventory of the taxpayer, contributed to a charitable organization described in section 50 I( c )(3) (except for private nonoperating foundations), and the donee must (1) use the property consistent with the donee's exempt purpose solely for the care of the ill , the needy, or infants, (2) not transfer the property in exchange for money, other property, or services, and (3) provide the taxpayer a written statement that the donee's use of the property will be consistent with such requirements.
