AND

FRIENDS

We are pleased to highlight some of the many services the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF) has offered to our members in the past year."As f1 nussion- .
. driven organization, CMF exists solely to serve _its members and advance giving
in Michigan. The Strategic Plan, approved by the Board in February 2002,
continues to guide our work a nd the accomplishments shared here.
On the Board level, t,his was a year of significant transition with two founding
trustees, Margaret Ann (Ranny) Riecker, President of the Herbert H . and Grace
A. Dow Foundation, and Gil Hudson, Chair of the Hudson-Webber Foundation,
retiring after a combined 45 plus years of service. Appreciation for service was also
extended to Trustees Richard Rappleye then of the CS. Mott Foundation and
now the kresge Foundation and Don Parfet from the Donald and Ann Parfet
Family Founda~ion.

VALUES

We build

MEMBERS

We welcom.ed new Trustees: David Egner front the. Hudson-Webber Foundation,
Russell Gabier from the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, Phillip Peters from the CS.
Mott Foundation, and Peggy Thompso~ from the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow
Foundation. Earlier in the year the Board appointed Heath Meriwether from the
Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan to complete the term of
Alan Gilmour.
We are pleased that our auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, has again provided an
. unqualified opinion on the audited financial statements. We ha~e been careful
stewards and have done some significant belt-tightening, particularly in recognition
o(the challenging economy. As a result, we were able to postpone a dues in~rease
· until April of 2004-nine years without a change-a new record in our history.
With questions of accountability being raised by members of Congress and a
significant turnover in our State Legislature, CMF has been busy working on your
behalf helpin.g lawmakers understand the value of philanthropy to our communities
and the people of Michigan.Your participation and support is much appreciated. We
k&gt;ok forward to continuing to serve you in 2003-2004 and to welcoming you to
the ~1st Annual Conference, November 10-12, 2003 in Grand Rapids.

Jo Attend

We are delighted to invite you to join your family foundation colleagues at our
Fourth Annual Family Foundations Retreat at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac
Island on Saturday, September 28 through Sunday, September 29, 2002.
This retreat is for you, other members of your family, and your family foundation trustees and staff. Our goal is to offer a thought-provoking and enjoyable
learning experience from which you will be energized, inspired, prepared to try
a few new ideas, and supported by a host of new friends and colleagues.
~

A wonderful new addition to this year's retreat is a youth grantmaking activity
for family foundation children from 8 to 18 years of age. With the help of
members of the Mackinac 'Island Community Foundation Youth Committee,
family foundation youth will have an opportunity to learn about the process
of grantmaking. They will review Island youth project proposals, develop
questions to ask on site visits, conduct site visits via bicycles, and award grants
totaling $900 to island organizations. In addition, there will be a youth
community service project on Sunday morning.
We are most grateful for the generous family foundation support that CMF
received for its 2002 family phitanthropy programming. It has made this year's
exciting retreat possible! Thanks go to The Cook Family Foundation, The
Herbert H. &amp; Grace A Dow Foundation, Frey Foundation, Richard &amp; Jane
Manoogian Foundation, Morley Foundation, Paine Family Foundation, and
Harry A. &amp; Margaret D. Towsley Foundation.
The retreat is a time to focus on issues of importance to family foundations.
Please join us for a Voyage of Discovery for Philanthropic Families. We look
forward to welcoming you on Saturday, September 28!

Dear Colleagues:

•

Welcome to the 30th Annual Conference of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF)! We are excited to be
holding this Conference here at the famous Grand Hotel for the first time!!
The Annual Conference is the premier educational and networking event for Michigan grantmakers. We are for tunate to have an outstanding group of speakers offering opportunities to take a fresh look at the core skills of
effective grantmaking, as well as the hot public policy issues facing our state. There is still time to sign up for the
two special Simulation sessions and the Leadership Session for Experienced Grantmakers.
Speaking of time for signing up, you will not want to miss the array of choice tours available each day. From the
boat trip under the Bridge to exploring Fort Mackinac to preserving the Horse Culture, there is a tour designed
for you. You can even stay right at the Grand on Sunday afternoon for a program on fudge or join a morning
walk on Monday to see the birds. There is still plenty of room on the tours, so sign up at the CMF Conference
Registration Desk.
Each member of the Program Committee and Host Committee has a special ribbon on their name badge -let
them know if you have any questions and do thank them for their efforts. We also want to thank the member
foundations, and corporations that have provided special financial support for speakers, receptions and events.
Please extend your appreciation to them as well.
CMF is proud to be the oldest and largest regional association of grantmakers in the country. We value your
membership and invite you to visit the Membership table in Resource Central. On your way, please check out the
exhibitors' displays and let them know how much we appreciate their support of this Conference.
This is both a challenging time and time of great opportunity for our local communities, state and nation.
Philanthropy needs to demonstrate its relevance - that we are and can help make a difference. As we explore the
Conference theme, Community and the Human Spirit: Connecting and Renewing, let's explore the roles philanthropy can play in dealing with these challenges and taking advantage of the opportunities.

Thank you for joining us!

�Amelia Epler Musser
Robert Daniel Musser, Jr.
In 1962, Amelia and R.D. (Dan) Musser began their
stewardship of the Grand Hotel. Recognizing the
importance of the Hotel's place in the community,
Mr. and Mrs. Musser's commitment to Grand Hotel
is surpassed only by their commitment to the whole
of Mackinac Island. With equal dedication, they have
supported both the infrastructure that keeps the
town viable and worked to protect and add to the
beauty that make Mackinac one of Michigan's jewels.

Island Community Foundation, with her husband
and son, ensured its early operation through donations of an office and the underwriting of its administration. As a member of the board of Mackinac
Island Public Library, she was instrumental, not only
in construction of its current building, but also in
creating the many arts and cultural programs it houses for residents and visitors.

Mrs. Musser's commitment to beauty and art and
Mr. Musser's uncanny eye for operations, combined
with their mutual value of public service, form a
strong energy on the Island. They have been a driving
force behind virtually every successful institution and
major campaign. However, it is difficult to characterize the depth of their involvement because of the
quiet manner in which they serve.

Whether through board service, gifts of time, knowledge or hospitality, Amelia and Dan Musser have
used Grand Hotel and their experiences as tools to
preserve and enhance the entire Island for the Island
community and the benefit of the entire state. The
Boad of Trustees of the Council of Michigan
Foundations is pleased to recognize their many contributions by naming them Honorary Chairs of the
30th Annual Conference.

As Chairman of the Mackinac Island Board of Public
Works, Mr. Musser secured funding for an extensive
sewage plant and water treatment facility. Later, he
helped implement the broad composting and trash
separation system, which has become standard practice on the Island, and has enabled the Island to continue serving its one million visitors annually. As a
member of the Beaumont Fund and the Medical
Center Board, he has supported health and medical
care services and facilities on Mackinac, including
guiding the construction of a new $3.6 million stateof-the-art facility.

seek a fourth term after serving in
the United States Senate since
1978. He left the Senate with a respected record, distinguished by his farsighted work for Social Security
reform, and as the GOP's majority whip-second in
command-when the Party regained control of the
Senate in 1994. A partner in a law firm and consultant to the Washington lobbying firm, The TongourSimpson Group, Simpson was director of the
Institute of Politics at Harvard after leaving the
Senate. Shaken by the death of Matthew Shepard in
his home state, the Senator believes that "if we can
forget color as a barrier, we can also forget sexual orientation." Based on his own experiences, the Senator
believes everyone should get a second chance in their
community. The Senator looks forward to sharing
his thoughts on inclusiveness and how the media can
better serve in renewing community and the human
spirit.

the Grand Hotel, serving on numerous boards and commissions both
on the island and throughout our state. They have diligently worked to
protect and add to the beauty that makes Mackinac one of Michigan's
jewels. Chairman of the Grand, Mr. Musser recently guided construction of a new state of the art medical facility for the Island. As a
member of the Board of the Mackinac Island Public Library, Mrs.
Musser has been instrumental in creating the many arts and cultural
programs it houses. They are founding members of the Mackinac Island
Community Foundation.

�Alan Simpson
Retired U.S. Senator
Former Director, Institute of Politics,
John F Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

Informal Networking Lunches at the Grand Hotel

12:00 noon- 1:30 p.m.

Enjoy an outstanding dining experience
in the Grand Hotel's Main Dining Room
followed by what will certainly be an
entertaining and insightful presentation
by retired United States Senator from
Wyoming, Alan Simpson. Described by
the media as an opinionated and cagey
fellow, gifted with a folksy sense of
humor, Simpson decided in 1996 not to
seek a fourth term after serving in the United States Senate since 1978.
He left the Senate with a respected record, distinguished by his farsighted work for Social Security reform, and as the GOP's majority whipsecond in command when the Party regained control of the Senate in
1994. A partner in a law firm and consultant to the Washington lobbying firm, The Tongour-Simpson Group, Simpson was director of the
Institute of Politics at Harvard after leaving the Senate. Shaken by the
death of Matthew Shepard in his home state, the Senator believes that "if
we can forget color as a barrier, we can also forget sexual orientation:'
Based on his own experiences, the Senator believes everyone should get a
second chance in their community. The Senator looks forward to
sharing his thoughts on inclusiveness and how the media can better
serve in renewing community and the human spirit.

Family Foundations Lunch at the Grand Hotel

12:00 noon- 1:30 p.m.
Tours

2:00 - 4:30 p.m.
Explore Mackinac Island and learn how residents are working to
improve their community. Tours leave from the Grand Hotel.

�Great Waters
The Great Lakes Basin contains one-fifth of the world's fresh water. Low
water levels, increased beach closings, and water bottling plants are all
contributing to increased concern about the future of both the quantity
and quality of our water supply. Participate in a discussion of findings
from a new public opinion survey on the state of water resources in the
Great Lakes Basin.
Jeff Alexander, Features Editor, The Muskegon Chronicle
Andy Buchsbaum, Senior Manager, Great Lakes Protection and
Restoration Project

Keynote Luncheon Speaker: Susan Stamberg
Special Correspondent
National Public Radio
Nationally renowned broadcast journalist Susan
Stamberg is Special Correspondent for National
Public Radio. She is the first woman to anchor a
national nightly news program and has won
every major award in broadcasting, including her
1996 induction into the Radio Hall of Fame.
Stamberg serves on the Boards of the
PEN/Faulkner Fiction Award Foundation and
Northwestern University's Medill School National
Arts Journalism program. Her interviewing has been called fresh,
friendly, down-to earth and "the closest thing to an enlightened
humanist on the radio." Stamberg feels every interview contains a lesson
in how to conduct a life, how to think about our world, how to present
oneself, in joyous and difficult situations. Stamberg will share these
lessons as she weaves the role of art, architecture and compassion
into the building of community.

Building Community By Building Community Leadership
Consider a community where no one has been prepared to lead and the
major employer has just closed. Sawyer, Michigan was that town. Today,
having worked with Michigan State University, local agencies and
groups, Sawyer has developed new leadership from among its youth and
adult residents, renewed civic pride, and started new traditions. This
session will explore the benefits of servant-leadership and asset-based
leadership development in distressed communities.

�TANF Reauthorization- Impact on Michigan and Poverty Policy
In 1996 the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families Act (TANF) was
passed, significantly changing the way welfare recipients would receive
support from the federal government. The hotly debated 2002 TANF
Reauthorization will impact thousands of low-income households in
Michigan, particularly in today's bleak economy. Gain insights into what
TANF reauthorization means for our state's residents, and how foundations can help reweave Michigan's safety net.

Facilities are critical to the mission of our grantees, yet at a time of economic uncertainty, facilities maintenance needs are often deferred and
planned capital projects indefinitely delayed. How do such delays hurt
nonprofits' abilities to achieve goals and realize missions? Learn how
funders can help grantees and the greater nonprofit community through
creative approaches to addressing facility needs.

Sustaining Michigan's Endangered Small and Rural Schools
The survival of Michigan's small and rural schools is in question as they
confront budget shortfalls, pressure to consolidate, teacher shortages,
and school choice. The eastern three counties of the Upper Peninsula
are home to the smallest enrollment district in the state and the largest
geographic district east of the Mississippi River. How can these districts
address current challenges? And, more importantly, how can they provide students with an education that prepares them to succeed in the
21st century? Hear from national, state and local education leaders on
these issues and explore ways grantmakers can respond.
Ken Drenth, Chair, Les Cheneaux Community Foundation
Jim Feil, Superintendent, Eastern Upper Peninsula Intermediate
School District
Rachel Tompkins, President, Rural School and Community Trust

Growing up, Mae Jemison was afraid of
heights. Yet in 1992, as a Cornell University
educated physician, Dr. Jemison blasted into
orbit aboard the space shuttle Endeavor, the
first woman of color to travel into space. With
her new vantage point, Dr. Jemison founded
The Earth We Share which hosts a summer
camp where teens from around the world work to solve global dilemmas.
In 1999, she created The Jemison Group to focus on the beneficial integration of science and technology into our everyday lives. Now, this
astronaut, physician, Peace Corps volunteer, and activist believes we have
become confused about the purpose of technology. Dr. Jemison will
challenge us in her remarks about the role education can and should
play in connecting community and the human spirit.

�The Role of Relationships in Philanthropy
People are drawn to philanthropy to make a difference, and often for the
opportunity to form meaningful relationships. But grantor-grantee relationships are frequently limited when one sees the other as a means to an
end rather than as an equal partner. Join us for an interactive dialogue
about relationships in philanthropy.

Elizabeth Sullivan, Chair, Education &amp; Networking Task Force

RE:

Recommended Action Item

The Education and Networking Task Force has had two productive meetings and
approved at its September 6, 2001 meeting the following action item for discussion and
approval:
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve a Core Curriculum for 2002
that will cover five key competency areas (governance, fmance, administration,
grantmaking, and communications) and up to three issue areas of high concern to
members.
Background
The Education and Networking Task Force endorses the creation of a regular series of
educational programs that address the five competency areas of governance, finance,
administration, grantrnaking and communication. The Committee has developed the
following criteria for offering these programs:
•
•
•
•
•

Is designed for members first, non-member grantrnakers second
Is offered at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels
Is offered on a three-year cycle (some programs multiple times during that period,
others only once)
Is delivered in a variety of live and electronic formats
Is offered by CMF, by CMF in partnership with others, or under CMF
sponsorship.

In addition, the Committee feels it is important to enhance the five core competency areas
through special programs for targeted audiences (by role, foundation type, issue). Such
programming will include up to three programs on high priority issues of concern to
members that are developed in consultation with the Public Policy Committee.
The Committee has created the following list of high priority issues of concern and will
ask CMF members to prioritize these issues at the Annual Conference and on-line
following the Conference. Where appropriate CMF will partner with national affmity
groups of grantmakers to produce these issue focused educational programs.

�28

K-12 Education
Access to Health Care
Elderly/Elder Care
Crime/Corrections
Workforce Preparation
Digital Divide
Sprawl/Land use (environment)
Child Care
Youth
Violence Prevention
Diversity
Organizational Effectiveness ofNPO Sector
Civil Society/Community Building
Families &amp; Society
Finally, the Committee has developed the following Decision-Making Criteria to assist
staff in responding to requests for educational programming.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Is the program consistent with both CMF's mission and purposes?
Does the program have broad appeal to the general membership or to a targeted
segment of the membership?
Does the curriculum represent current best practices and new research findings?
Will the program challenge the membership to do bener?
Is there a compelling need or opportunity to justify the program?
Is CMF's involvement imperative to the success of the program?
Does CMF have the capacity to develop and deliver the program (time, staff,
knowledge, funds, etc.)?
Does the program present an opportunity to partner and/or collaborate?
Does the program offer CMF a fund development opportunity?
Will CMF's involvement in the program impact its role in the community as a
neutral (non-partisan) convener?
Does the program present an opportunity to attract diverse audiences?
Does the program have any implications for public policy?
How will program costs be covered (dues, registration fees, grants, other)?
If a member is asking CMF to prepare and present the program, is that member
able to contribute to some or all of its costs?

Technology Task Force Recommendations

The Technology Task Force co-conveners (Tim Dechant, Director of Technology, W.K.
Kellogg Foundation; Richard Lowell Dunlap, Program Officer-Iofonnation Systems,
K resge Foundation; Gavin Clabaugh Vice President and Dick Rappleye, Vice President,
Charles Stewart Mott Foundation) have had several productive meetings together and
with CMF management and are proposing the following action item for discussion and
approval:

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve piloting "Rapid Response
·
System" in 2002 to obtain member feedback on time sensitive issues.
Backgrow1d
The TeclmoJogy Task Force was formed in summer 200 I and is being co-convened by
theW.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, and the Charles Stewart Mon
Foundation. Lead CMF staff for the Task Force is Gail Powers-Scbaub, Information
Services Manager.
The co-conveners have met several times with Ms. Powers-Schaub to develop a Briefing
Paper that has been shared with the !!-member Task Force. On September II , 2001 , the
Task Force met via conference call to discuss the Briefing Paper, its goals and timeline,
and next steps. Prior to that meeting, the co-conveners met with CMF management to
review immediate priorities for the Annual Members Meeting at the Annual Conference
related that could be met with technology.
The rapid response system that is being recommended is call Zoomerang and will allow
CMF to obtain instant feedback from members, with the ability to target specific
constituencies. Zoom erang is a division of MarketTools, the global dominant ASP for
eResearc h and efeedback. The company provides advanced Web-hosted technology a nd
advisory services to help businesses conduct cost-effective and secure Web-based market
research. The results are captured and presented in graphically-rich formats in real-timewhich allows users to measure incoming responses and act on the findings very quickly.

�30

We hope to demonstrate this electronic system at the Annual Conference through inviting
members to vote on the Priority Issues discussed in the Education-Networking Task
Force Report. The cost for Zoomerang is $500 for the first 1,000 survey responses with
$500 for each additional 1,000 responses. We anticipate using the service four times in
2002 for budget of$2,000. Our first use of the services will be covered in this current
budget. This Rapid Response System will allow members to have input into future
directions related to CMF's Leadership purpose, specifically, opportunities to serve as an
intermediary and priorities for issues facing Michigan that are of interest and concern to
m embers.
The Technology Task Force's work will commence in full upon completion of
recommendations by the other Committees and Task Forces. It's goals are to develop
recommendations in three areas:
• A long-term technology plan for CMF
• A process for on-going review/revision of CMF technology platform
• Use of technology for specific programs, products, services, (drawing on
recommendations from other task forces)
Among the many areas the Task Force will address are two that have been identified by
other Task Forces and CMF management. They are: ( I) electronic delivery systems for
education programs to respond to members' expressed desire for on-demand access to
information, resources, and educational opportunities; and (2) a restructuring of the CMF
website to increase its value to members.

Dave Campbell, Chairman, Services Task Force

Re:

Recommended Action Items

The Services Task Force has had two highly productive meetings and approved at its
September 13, 200 l meeting the following action items for cliscussion and approval:
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve a pilot program to charge
members fees for individualized technical services on board training, grantmaking
guidelines and program development, strategic planning, executive searches, and
other services with guidelines for setting fees to be developed with input from the
Finance Committee.
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the provision of the following
services to eligible non-members as an enticement to membership:
(a) One complimentary consultation on foundation establishment, Limited to
providing a "how to" guide and verbal orientation.
(b) If requested, foundation establishment services for a fee with a membership
dues rebate possible upon joining CMF.
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the elimination of any
individualized service to grantseekers beyond tbe current "Survey and Information
for Seeking" now used.
Background
The Services Task Force was formed in summer 2001 and is served by 12 CMF members
including 4 members of its Board ofTrustees. Lead CMF staff for this Task Force is
Susan Howbert, Director, Family Philanthropy Services and Southeast Michigan
Program.
The Task Force met on August l, 2001 for a full -day meeting where it developed several
recommendations regarding services CMF might provide to members, eligible nonmembers, grantseekers and others. There was consensus that CMF should establish a fee
system for inclividualized technical assistance requested by members. For example, one
executive search has recently been completed and another is under development. There
was also agreement that CMF should not widely advertise these services in this pilot
stage.

�32

There was consensus on the part of the Task Force that CMF should provide a free
consultation for those interested in starting a foundation. However, a fee should be
charged if services requested include sample documents and individualized assistance.
There was agreement that CMF should not provide free services to non-members in the
hope that the new fo undation might become a member.
Finally, the Task Force discussed individual services to grantseekers, who are often
referred to CMF by members. There was consensus that beyond an updated version of
the current publication currently produced, CMF should not use staff time to undertake
searches for grantseekers. It is appropriate to refer these individuals to the Foundation
Center Cooperating Collections throughout the State. CMF will continue to assist with
group presentations to grantseekers, such as The Conversations With Program.
In addition to the resolutions proposed above, the Task Force recommends that CMF do
the following to support the pilot fee-based services program effective 2002.
•

Develop a series of high quality "How To" guides on topics such as mission,
guidelines and program development, legal and accounting information, web site
development, sample documents, and governance. The guides would be made
available to members for free as a benefit of membership. They would be made
available to non-members for a fee as a way of marketing CMF's expertise. ·

•

Develop a high quality membership recruitment packet for use at first contact with
start-ups and eligible non-members. This packet could include a guide to foundation
establishment and several other items that would communicate the knowledge CMF
has and shares with its members to strengthen their work.

•

Design and conduct market research via focus groups or other strategies to identify
ways CMF can effectively serve advisors to the wealthy on a fee basis. Creating
stronger relationships with advisors, educating them about philanthropy, and
providing them with technical support in select areas are important to fulfilling
CMF's purpose of increasing philanthropy in Michigan.

Neeta Delaney, Chair, Communications and Marketing Task Force

Re:

Recommended Action Items

The Communications and Marketing Task Force has had two meetings. Our initial efforts have focused
on a review of CMF's logo and positioning statement as well as a careful analysis of CMF's core
publications and website.
While we recognize that our marketing activities, such as developing CMF's first marketing brochure,
will occur after the work of the other Task Forces is complete,
we feel that it is important to take advantage of the Annual Members Meeting on November I st. T he
following action item is therefore presented for your consideration.
RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations approve a new logo and positioning
statement for usc at the 291h Annual Conference a nd introduction to the Members at the Annual
Members Meeting on November 1, 2001.
Background
The CMF logo has been in use for the last 15 years. There is consensus on the part of the Task Force
that it needs to be updated with a contemporary look. A review of the complexity of the logo indicated
that some members do not recognize the map of the state that is in the current logo design. There was
consensus that the logo should continue to use the emf letters because of name recognition, but that the
logo should also have the full name of the organization attached. CMF has retained the award-winning
firm of Olmsted Associates that works for the C.S. Mott Foundation to assist with this process. We look
forward to sharing three possible logos for your review and action at the m eeting.
CMF has never had a positioning statement- a short statement that captures the essence of what we do.
For years, we have had the following statement at the bottom of the letterhead- "An Association of
Foundations and Corporations Making Grants for C haritable Purposes." It is interesting to note that
several members of our Task Force have never recognized this statement. There is consensus by the
Task Force that we need an action oriented positioning statement that better captures what we do.

Long Range Plannin g Committee
Involving a broad spectrum ofCMF members and Trustees in the development of
guidelines. policies, strategies, and tactics for the 2002-2006 Strategic Plan has proven to
be a very successful strategy. Trustees who chair the Task Forces and Comm ittees have
provided invaluable guidance and direction to CMF staff. Members and Trustees serving

�51

as members of these groups have provided hig hly informed input on ways in which CMF
can increase its value to members and achieve its mission and newly articulated vision.
To complete this process, CMF wishes to maximize the added value of Trustee leadership
by expanding the current Long-Range Planning Committee to include Trustees serving as
chairs of Phase 1I Task Forces and Committees and select CMF staff who have served as
lead staff for these groups.
The expanded Committee would meet in late fall to look at all of the recommendations
that will be forthcoming from the Task Forces on Education/Networking, MarketingCommunications, and Services and from Committees on Government Relations and
Membership. Its goal will be to provide leadership on the integration of these
recommendations into a comprehensive plan for CMF's future. The Committee's fmal
recommendations wilJ inform the Technology Task Force.
Phase ll Task Forces &amp; Committees
Following the October 2, 200 I Board meeting, CMF staff. guided b) Phase II Task
Forces and Committees, will complete their recommendations as articulated in the
Strategic Planning Update found under Tab One.

�Values Statements

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, Michigan-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 are built to bring added value to our members individually and
collective!y.
We Act as A Servant-Leader for organized philanthropy - by promoting and increasing
philanthropy in Michigan. We serve by understanding and meeting members' individual
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 Michigan and by the level of civil society in our
state- now and in the future.
We Have, Share, and Seek Knowledge - with members and in support of membersthrough education and networking. Our knowledge is personjfied by staffwith 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 oft he needs for and impact of organized philanthropy.
We Strive for Excellence io 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
who le-- 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.

May 11, 2001 Board Meeting
At the May 11,2001 Board meeting, staff provided Trustees with a summary of the
results of the May 10, 2001 Board session. In addition, a plan for Phase II of the
Strategic Planning process was presented and approved. That plan called for the creation
of special task forces and expanded Committees to be led by Board members, comprised
of a representative mix of members, and supported by staff. Their charge would be to
develop promising strategies and tactics in six key areas through a highly inclusive,
participatory process.
By late June, the Task Forces and Committees were fooned. They are generously served
by 54 members, 15 Trustees, and Bob Tobin who is a member of the MarketingCommunications Task Force. In addition, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Kresge
Foundation and the Charles Stewart Mott Fooodation generously agreed to serve as coconveners of the Technology Task Force. For your information we have included the
Task Force and Committee Rosters and a calendar of Task Force and Committee
meetings.
In May and June, CMF staff consolidated all aspects of the Strategic Plan to define and
articulate the purpose, scope of work, goals, and timelines for each Task Force and
Committee. An orientation document was provided to Chairs who were convened via
conference call to develop a common vision for moving forward with Phase II. 'In
addition, staff examined the six areas to be covered by the Task Forces and Committees
as step one in the process of preparing Briefing Papers that have been provided to each
group to inform and guide their work. Finally, CMF management met with the
Technology Task Force co-conveners to review organizational goals and priorities.

In July, August and September, Task Forces and Committees met in person and via
conference call to begin developing recommendations. Most groups have met twice.
The Technology Task Force had its first orientation conference call in September. The
Membership Committee will have its first all-day meeting on September 28lh.
An overview of the six Task Forces and Committees. their chairs and goals follows.

Re:

Measuring Our Progress: Now and in the Future

CMF's Strategic Planning process has been guided by questions developed by the Board
at its October 2000 meeting. Measuring our progress against answering these questions
is an important step in completing Phase n of our process.
Once CMF begins implementing the 2002-2006 Strategic Plan, it wiU important to
measure progress in meeting the goals set out in that Plan. The Vision Metrics that
constitute an important component of the Plan have been in draft form since winter
2000/01.

Therefore, during the October 2, meeting, Bob Tobin will guide t he Board through a
discussion about:
•
•

Our progress in successfully addressing the Board's October 2000 Guiding
Questions; and
T he draft Vision Metrics and changes needed to more closely tie those to t he
evolving Stra tegic Pla n.

To inform our discussion, the following background materials are provided:
• The Board's Guiding Questions
• The current draft Vision Metrics
• Board and Member Desires &amp; Aspirations for CMF
• Opportunities identified through the SWOT Analysis

G uiding Questions: October 2000
I.

How can we best serve the evolving needs of an increasingly diverse, special ized
membership?
2. Are we a state, regional, national, or international organization?
3. What is our desired relationship with state government?
4. How do we define and manage our evolving role as an intermediary?
5. How do we resolve tensions between our dual roles of membership service and
philanthropic leader?
6. What is our hierarchy of roles and initiatives relative to our mission?
7. What metrics are most important to us as we look into the future?

National Legislative Issues
Revision of Goal 4: To repeal the excise tax on private foundations, replacing the
previous goal of reducing the excise tax to a flat one percent.
State Legislative Issues
Addition of new Goal to support simplification of the Charitable Solicitation Act.
Mr. Collier than reviewed the Committee's recommendation that the Board endorse the

concept of supporting the creation of a bi-partisan philanthropy caucus by the leadership
ofthe State Legislature. The goal is to have a core group of legislators familiar with
philanthropy who can help educate new colleagues arriving in the Legislature. This
concept is on response to term limits.
Upon motion duly made, supported!, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that CMF encourage formation of a Philanthropy Caucus by
the leadership of the State Legislature as a bi-partisan group of up to 20 state
legislators representing both the Senate and the House who can inform their
colleagues about the work of foundations and corporate giving programs and
encourage them to use CMF as a resource.
•

Education-Networking Task Force

Task Force Chair Elizabeth Sullivan reported! on the work of her Task Force and the two

recommendations on educational programming. She also reviewed the Decision Making
Criteria endorsed by the Task Force to assist staff in reviewing member requests for
education programming.
Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approves a Core Curriculum
for 2002 that will cover five key competency areas (grantmaking,
governance, finance, administration, and communications).
Ms. Sullivan led the discussion about issue programming and the Task Force's
recommendation that up to three topics be covered each year. She noted that the issues re
listed are examples rather than an all-inclusive list.
Upon motion duly made, supported! and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that CMF offer educational programming on up to three issue
areas of high concern to members each year.
•

Technology Task Force

Task Force Chair Dick Rappleye reported on the initial work of the three co-convenors of
this Task Force and the recognition that their work would begin after the other Task
Forces and Committees have completed their assignments. He noted that the CoConvenors are assisting staff in responding to three short terms needs related to the 2001

Annual Conference. Gail Schaub offered a brief demonstration of the Zoomerang system
being recommended and commented that the anticipated cost of the pilot in 2002 should
not exceed $2,000.
Upon motion duly made, supported!, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that a " Rapid Response System" to obtain member feedback on
time sensitive issues be piloted in 2002.
Trustee Julie Cmmnings noted the importance of increasing the use of technology,
specifically email, for staff/Board communication.
•

Services Task Force

Services Task Force Chair C. David Campbell led the discussions of the three
recommendations being presented for action, noting that their value in helping staff with
time allocation was more important than revenue generation. The services will not be
broadly marketed during the pilot because there is not sufficient staff capacity to respond.
It was noted that the Membership Committee will be consulted on fees.
Upon motion duly made, supported!, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that a pilot program be approved to charge members fees for
individualized technical services on board training, grantmaking guidelines
and program d evelopment, strategic planning, exec.utive searches, and other

services with guidelines for setting fees to be developed with input from the
Finance Committee.
Campbell also noted the role that CMF plays in helping to create foundations and that it
cannot be taken for granted that a new foundation will become a member.
Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the provision of the following services to eligible nonmembers be offered as an enticement to membership:
a) complimentary consultation on foundation establishment, limited
to providing a "how to" guide and verbal orientation.
b) If requested, foundation establishment services for a fee with a
membership dues rebate possible upon joining CMF.
Finally, Campbell noted the Task Force's discussion of individual services being
provided to grantseekers and members strong feeling that such requests should not
include individual searches but be limited to copies of the complimentary "Survey and
biformationfor Seeking" publication and a referral to one of the Foundation Center
Cooperating Collections.
RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees approves the elimination of any
individualized service to grantseekers beyond the current "Survey and
Information for Seeking" now used.

Marketing/Communications Task Force

Task Force Chair Neeta Delaney explained the initial work of the Task Force in
reviewing all of the many publications produced by CMF and the recommendation that
the current logo and positioning statement be updated, given the growing competitive
marketplace for philanthropic membership associations. She introduced Karl Olmsted of
Olmsted Associates in Flint whose fim1 has done award winning work for the C.S. Mott
Foundation, and has been retained to assist with these tasks. Olmsted presented three
options for a revised logo and three options for a new positioning statement. He also
introduced four color palettes - the existing light b lue, a royal blue, a blue green and a
light green. During lunch, the Trustees had the opportunity to vote on their first choices.
Ms. Delaney noted that there was consensus on the logo and color palette.

Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that an updated logo and color (as attached to these minutes) be
adopted for use beginning at the 29th Annual Conference.
Ms. Delaney then led a discussion with Mr. Tobin's help about the role of the positioning
statement. There was consensus by the Board that such a statement had to recognize the
organization's role as a support to both foundations and corporations. A vote was held on
the three statements w ith the most votes, but not a majority of those present, for
"Supporting a Culture of Giving'' Mr. Campbell indicated that the feelings of the Board
would be shared with the Task Force with the hope of still having a new positioning
statement to share at the Annual Members Meeting on November 1, 2001.

•

Membership C ommittee

Conm1ittee Chair Gil Hudson shared the results of the Membership Committee Meeting,
and the four proposed resolutions for consideration. He noted that the Committee was
still working on a number of issues, including those members that do not pay the
recommended dues amount. He reviewed each of the membership categories before
introducing a resolution to amend four categories and eliminate two as noted below.

Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the following changes
in membership criteria as endorsed by the Membership Committee and
recommended by the Community Foundation Committee where
appropriate:
•

Modify the criteria for Community Foundations to reflect the current
state law for community foundations eligible for the community
foundation tax credit.

�CMF Board of Trustees
Minutes of October 2, 2001
Page 6

•

Redefine Community Foundation Affiliate to be limited to those
participating in the Kellogg Youth Challenge and to further revoke their
voting privileges as a CMF member.

•

Eliminate the category of Community Foundation Donor Advised Fund
by grandfathering current members and closing the category to new
members.

•

Eliminate the category of "Friends" of CMF.

•

Change the language in the Out-of-State Associates criteria from "must"
to "should" have a grantmaking presence in Michigan.

•

Amend the criteria for Public Foundations to include "have a permanent
endowment" and "make substantial grants for broad charitable
purposes."

Mr. Hudson reviewed the status of 66 members that are now more than two years
delinquent in paying dues, noting that despite best efforts to have their memberships
renewed by the end of the fiscal year on April! , 2002, up to 50 members could be lost.
He indicated the Committee's recommendation to terminate the membership of those two
years behind as of April 1, 2002 and that the Board adopt such a tennination policy.
Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED further that a policy be approved to terminate membership for
non-responsive members that are more than two years delinquent on
membership dues.
Mr. Hudson summarized the Committee's Membership Retention Plan and Development
Plan for 2002 (attached to these minutes) with a five-year goal of 578 by 200617. He
explained that the goal had been well crafted with staff and reflects projected
membership gains and losses including the anticipated loss of 50 non-dues paying
members. Trustees can look forward to being asked at the February 2002 Meeting to
assist with membership recruitment in 2002.
Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED further that the Membership Development Plan/Campaign for
2002, including the goal of 578 by 2006/7 be approved.
Mr. Collier then introduced a three-part resolution from the Membership Committee. He

noted that there was consensus by the Committee that our two lowest dues categories of
$ 150 and $360 paid by 107 members are too low, and that the minimum dues should be
raised to $500. In addition, there was consensus that the dues categories should be
examined with the idea of reducing the ranges in the categories to better capture the
growth in assets that will occur over time by members. Finally, there was agreement by

�CMF Board of Trustees
Minutes of October 2, 2001
Page 7

the Committee that the Finance Committee should examine a dues increase as projected
budgets are developed for 2002 and beyond. After discussion on these three points, the
Board decided to defer action for further analysis by the Finance Committee.
Policy on Inclusion

Mr. Tobin and Ms. Rosenberg facilitated a brief discussion on a statement on inclusion
for CMF to adopt as part of the Strategic Planning Process. In reviewing six sample
components, there was consensus that a policy statement needed to be action oriented and
that inclusion needs to be better reflected in CMF's values statement. The item was
referred for further discussion at the next Board Meeting.
Next Steps
Mr. Campbell indicated that because there was not sufficient time, we would defer

discussion of the October 2000 Guiding Questions and the vision metrics to the next
meeting. He noted the inclusion of the fall calendar for Next Steps in the Board book and
that he plans on asking Task Force and Committee Chairs in 2002 to join with the
members of the Executive Conunittee in expanding the Strategic Planning Committee
into an ongoing Long Range Planning Committee.
The next scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees will be held October 31, 2001, at
the Marriott Renaissance Hotel in Detroit from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. There being no
further business to come before the board, Chair, C. David Campbell adjourned the
meeting at 3:00p.m.

C. David Campbell, Chair

Memo to:

Dave Campbell, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier

Re:

President's Report

Because my last Report was sent to you on July 31, with the Audit Report, this Report
features activities s ince August 1. Please let me know if you have any questions about
any of these items .
All of your staff at CMF greatly appreciate the extra time contributed by Trustees and
more than 50 members to the Task Forces and Committee Meetings held as part of our
Strategic Planning Process. As we all learned at the Special Board Meeting on October
2, much progress has been made and continues to be made on the Strategic Plan.

Response to September 11
CMF sent out a special resource sheet to all members on September 14. In addition, we
surveyed members and have created a September 11 response section on the cmif.org
website. A copy of this section is included at the back of your Board book. In response
to a call from State Education Superintendent Tom Watkins, Kathy Agard and her team
at Learning to Give pulled together six lesson plans that have now been disseminated
statewide by Tom's office. The lessons focus on giving in a time of crisis as well as
recognizing the diversity of our state population. We continue to provide individual
assistance to members in planning their individual responses to the tragedies of
September 11.
Conferences and Meetings
August 22-23 Grantmaking Basics. Ypsilanti
Thirty-eight staff from a diversity of members participated in this Grantmaking Basics
seminar that took the place of what we used to call the Institute for New Trustees and
Staff. We appreciated the efforts of a fine guest faculty, including John Marshall who Jed
the discussion on Principles and Best Practices.
September 13 - Michigan Municipal League, Battle Creek
Three community foundation grantmakers joined me for a session with 75 city and
village officials at the League's Annual Conference. We hope this session will strengthen
partnerships between community foundations and municipal officials.
September 13- Alliance of United Way Community Services Executives Retreat - Port
Huron

�President's Report
October 200 I

Jeri Fischer represented CMF on a panel to discuss state trends and their impact on
philanthropy before this group of Agency Executives from southeast Michigan.

�President's Report
October 200 I

September 19 -Michigan IDA Partnership State Conference
More than 140 practitioners from the 30 program sites and three regional coordinating
organizations were joined by a small group of funders for the first ever IDA Conference
in Michigan. The Partnership has now funded 580 accounts through the program sites,
and I am working with interested members to raise the needed $4 million private match.
Executive Director, Eric Muschler was invited to participate in a national meeting held by
the Annie E. Casey Foundation on Federal Funding for the Savings for Working Families
Act.
September 28-30 Family Foundation Retreat
Our thanks to Julie Cummings and Susan Howbert for producing a remarkable Family
Foundation Retreat. The 75 plus participants and their children remarked on the special
family feeling that was conveyed by the faculty and the setting at Crystal Mountain.

Publications

In August you should have received the summer issue of The Michigan Scene as well as
the CMF 2001 Annual Report. Three new publications (Copies in the back of your
Trustee book) have been completed in September.

Make A Difference
Produced by our Mawby Sununer Intern, Kari Pardoe, this colorful, six page tri-fold
responds to the many requests received for an orientation piece for new youth
grantmakers. Each of the 86 community foundation youth advisory committees in

Michigan has received 10 copies for use with their fall recruitment of new Y AC
members. The publication will also be posted on the youth grantmakers website
www.mcfyp.org for use by interested groups outside of Michigan.

Youth Grantmakers Contribute to Community Foundation Growth
This four-page brochure by Karin Tice, our community foundation evaluator, responds to
the many requests received from conununity foundations nationally about the role that
youth grantmakers have played in helping with the fund development of Michigan
community foundations. Copies were recently distributed at the Council on Foundations
Annual Community Foundations Conference in Vancouver. This brochure will also be
on the www.mcfyp.org website.
Standards For Community Foundations: Challenges and Lessons Learned
This eight-page publication, also by Karin Tice with contributions by Dottie Reynolds,
our range rider for three years, was a highlight of the Community Foundations
Conference in Vancouver earlier this month. As community foundations nationwide
begin the process of being in compliance with standards set forth by the Council on
Foundations, they are eager to learn from our experiences in Michigan. As with the
previous publication, production is possible thanks to special support from the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation. This document is located on the CMF website at www.cmif.org.

�President's Report
October 200 I

Community Foundations as Environmental Stewards
In addition, Mark Ducker, a filmmaker from Lansing completed production on the 11
minute video Community Foundations as Environmental Stewards. Produced with
support from the Great Lakes Protection Fund, this video tells the story of the
Community foundation for Muskegon County in becoming a successful environmental
grantmaker. Copies of the video are being provided to every community foundation in
the USA and Canada as well as placed on the CMF website and the Great Lakes
Environmental Network website. It is hoped that the video will motivate community
foundations to use their convening and grantmaking abilities to attract new donors
interested in supporting environmental grantmaking.
Also following this report is the article on Learning to Give featured in the August issue
of Association Management.
Partnerships &amp; Dissemination

Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative - Phase III

indicated that he knows of no other state where grantmakers are bringing their grantees
together for such a dialogue.

�President's Report
October 200 I

October 8 - 9 - Devolution Seminar - Lansing
With special grant support from the Skillman Foundation, and the help of Pat Babcock

grant support from the C.S. Mott Foundation, two international delegations arrived for
intensive site visits on community philanthropy. Four guests from Mexico used Ann
Arbor as their base. Four guests from Brazil were based in Grand Rapids. On Saturday,
October 13 both teams flew to the Council on Foundations Community Foundations

these site visits a great success!

Memo To:

C. David Campbell, Chairman and
Board of Trustees

From :

Vicki Rosenberg

RE:

CMF Statement on Inclusion and Diversity

At its February and May 2001 meetings, Trustees identified inclusion and diversity as
issues of high importance to CMF. Presently, diversity is addressed in only one key
CMF document, the 1997 Statement of Principles and Best Practices. (see below for the
particular statement.)
The May discussion focused on whether to include a statement on inclusion and diversity
in the first point in the Values Statement that addresses relationships. The Board agreed
that expanding that section to include language about inclusion and diversity would not
be sufficient. It asked that further discussion be held on this issue toward identifying the
best way to communicate and implement an organizational commitment to these
principles.
During the Octoher 2nd Roard meeting, Rob Tobin will facilita te a discussion on diversity
and inclusion toward developing a policy statement and effective strategies for its
implementation.

To inform that d iscussion, the following are provided for review:
•

CMF Documents: (a) 1997 Statement from CMF's Principles &amp; Best Practices
Document; and (b) relevant section from CMF's new Values Statement.

•

COF &amp; Donors Forum of Chicago policy statements on diversity and inclusion

•

Key Findings from "Building a Better Foundation: A toolkit for creating an inclusive
grantmaking organization." Donors Forum of Chicago, Minnesota Council on
Foundations, Northern California Grantmak,e rs, and New York Regional Association
of Grantmakers, 2001.

•

National Study". Joint Affinity Groups, 200 I .

CMF DOCUMENTS

Principles &amp; Practices (1997)
Draw on the full range of human talents available for board service, staff, and
consultants.

o
o

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.

Values Statement (2001): Item One
We build relationships to last:
o With members first
o With the philanthropic, non-profit, private, and public sectors, and general public
second.
o Through advocating and networking.
o Our goal is to know every member well, to represent every individual engaged in
organized, Michigan-based philanthropy, and to include a diverse group of members
in our thinking and planning.
o Our existing and future relationshlps with leaders in all sectors are buill to bring
added value to our members individually and collectively.

COF &amp; DONORS FORUM OF CIDCAGO
Policy Statements on Diversity &amp; Inclusion

DONORS FORUM OF CIDCAGO (1996)
Inclusiveness Policy
The Donors Forum of Chicago, recognizing the diversity of Chicago's population and the
value of having diverse perspectives and participation, is committed to providing equal
opportunity to all people without regard for race, color, religion, gender, age, disability,
national origin, marital status, sexual orientation or veteran status, in all aspects of its
own organizational operations.
The Donors Forum promotes inclusiveness in order to ensure that a range of perspectives,
opinions and philosophy, are an integral part of the work carried out to fulfill the
organization's mission. The Donors Forum shares the perspective that all people are
pivotal to the improvement of the quality of life and need to be participants in the
decision making process which involve issues that affect them.

COUNCIL ON FOUNDATIONS
lnclusivity Statement
The Council on Foundations was formed to promote responsible and effective
philanthropy. The mission requires a commitment to inclusiveness as a fundamental
operating principle and calls for an active and ongoing process that affums human
diversity in its many forms, encompassing but not Jjmited to ethnicity, race, gender,
sexual orientation, economic circumstance, disability and philosophy.
We seek diversity in order to ensure that a range of perspectives, opinions and
experiences are recognjzed and acted upon in achieving the Council's mission. The
Council also asks members to make a similar commitment to inclusiveness in order to
better enhance their abilities to contribute to the common good of our changing society.
Management Support and Resources
The Council provides technical assistance, information and resources to assist members
in making their organizations better able to address the needs of the diverse society in
which we live.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM

"Diversity Practices in Foundations: Findings from a National Study"
Joint Affinity Group, 2001

Include a commitment to diversity in key statements. Develop or refer to written
materials that communicate diversity objectives. Committed organizations articulate the
importance of diversity through their insitution' s mission, vision, values... Statements
and organizational policies that reflect the centrality of diversity, formalize institutional
commitment and establish a standard of accountability."
Implement the Policy with these steps in mind:
•

Inform board and trustees about the value of diversity;

•

Undergo or provide traitllng to board, management, staff to increase understanding
and improve communications at the outset of any diversity initiative.

•

Plan, dedicate needed resources, and evaluate progress as diversifying takes time,
energy, and perseverance.

•

Gatht:r data through focus groups, surveys, and/or diversity audits to assess your
organization' s diversity climate, and to identify areas of concern and desired
outcomes.

•

Establish clearly defined internal goals, responsibilities and accountability
mechanisms to design the initiative and identify professionals required.

•

Hire consultants, if expert and impartial help is needed.

•

Anticipate some failures, internal resistance, and departures and be willing to change
systems and remove institutional barriers if necessary.

SAMPLE DIVERSITY STATEMENTS
FROM ASSOCIATIONS &amp; CORPORATIONS

AMERICAN ZOO AND AQUARIUM ASSOCIATION

Diversity Statement
AZA recognizes and embraces the values of human diversity. We accept the moral and
practical imperatives of our changing society, as well as the impacts of these changes on
our personal and professional lives. We value and seek the strengths of human variety
with respect to age, culture, gender, national origin, personal values and beliefs, physical
abilities, race, religion and sexual orientation. In principle and in practice, AZA will
commit time and resources to increasing diversity of our workforce. To serve our
member institutions, AZA will assemble and provide resources on diversity programs,
trends and issues. This statement applies to the Association's offices and its employees.
It acknowledges that Association members may have their own statements or policies. It
also acknowledges that a Diversity Special Committee has been established that will
address diversity issues for the Association and its members

�45

AUSTIN HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
Mission
To provide programs and resources that promote diversity as a strategic component in the
individual and organizational success of Austin Human Resource Management
Association members (AHRMA).
Objective
To reflect the greater Austin community in membership demographics, program topics
and issues, community involvement, and broader sponsorship. We plan to do this by:
Increasing the diversity of AHRMA membership within currently underrepresented
groups through active recruitment; Disseminating information about and promoting the
use of Historically Underutilized Businesses among AI-IRMA members; Supporting
community events which facilitate selection, development and retention of a diverse
workforce; Sharing practical information from local business leaders who have a visible
commitment to diversity in the workplace.
Strategy
Our strategy is to position diversity as a component critical to our individual and
organizational success as human resource professionals by:
a.

Acknowledging diversity as part of everything we do as opposed to a "stand
alone" or "something extra" that we'll do if we have time. This means that
diversity must be reflected in the philosophy, policies and practices of AHRMA
as well as communicated through local best practices.

b.

Providing members with tangible skills and competencies in managing and
maximizing diversity. This means information communicated to members
through newsletters, programs, conferences must have a high "practical
application quotient."

c.

Connecting diversity to bottom line performance measures that all members can
identify, understand and commit to

September 22, 200 I
Memo to:

C. David Campbell, Chair and
Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Maureen H. Smyth, Chair, CMF Nominating Committee

Re:

New Trustees for the Class of2003 and 2004

The Nominating Committee met in August and September via Conference Call to review the five vacancies
occurring in the Board of Trustees. After much discussion we have presented three outstanding individuals to
the membership for the Class of2004:
•
•
•

Betsy Upton Stover of Lansing, Associate Trustee, Frederick S Upton Foundation, St. Joseph
Sandra E. Ulsh, Vice President and Executive Director, Ford Motor Company Fund, Dearborn
Patricia Reynolds, President, Capital Region Community Foundation, Lansing

These new nominees replace Lynn Feldhouse, who has retired from the DaimlerChrylser Corporation Fund,
Neeta Delaney, who has announced that she is leaving the Jackson County Community Foundation in February,
and Maureen Smyth, Vice President- Programs, Charles Stewart Mon Foundation, who has served the full three
terms and is ineligible to continue as a trustee.
We are delighted that the following six trustees have agreed to serve again:
• C. David Campbell, President, McGregor Fund, Detroit
• Allan D. Gibnuur, President, The Gilmour fund, Detroit
• Ann K. Irish., President &amp; Trustee, The Elizabeth Kennedy Fund, Harbor Springs
• William C. Richardson, President, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek
• Olivia P. Maynard of Goodrich, Trustee, Les C heneaux Area Community Foundation, Cedarville
• S. Martin Taylor, President, DTE Energy Foundation, Detroit
There are two vacancies in the C lass of2003. James Greene from Pharmacia in Kalamazoo has indicated that
he is retiring effective October 31 ,2001 and Ralph Gerson from Guardian Industries has indicated that the pace
of his travel makes it difficult to serve. Both men have submitted resignations effective October 31 , 200 I. We
will recognize all five of these trustees at the Board Meeting on October 31 and the Annual Members Meeting
on November I.
To complete the two-year terms we are pleased to reco mmend two distinguished individuals:
•

Rober1 Aronson, Assistant to the Chairman of Guardian Industries, Auburn Hills. Bob oversees the
philanthropy of William Davidson, CMFs Annua I Conference honoree the last time we were in Detroit, and
he serves as Chief Executive Ofiicer oftl1e Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detro it.

•

J. Louis Felton, Trustee of the Kalamazoo Community Foundation s ince 1998. Reve rend Felton also serves
as Pastor o f the Galilee Missionary Baptist Church.

Assuming these recommendations meet with your approval, we would like to invite each of them to attend the
October 3 1 Board Meeting and November I Annual Meeting as our guests. Their first official Board meeting is
February 19, 2002.

Memo to:

C. David Campbell, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Leonard Smith, MAF Chair
Glen Jack, MAF Executive Director

Re:

2001 Annual Report
Michigan AIDS Fund

Michigan AIDS Fund
A decade of compassion. A new era of hope.

Mission
To help reduce the spread and alleviate the suffering caused by HIV/AIDS by serving as an
intermediary support organization between philanthropy and HlV/AIDS organizations and those
affected by the epidemic in Michigan.
Board of Trustees
Leonard W. Smith, Chair
Ira Strumwasser, Vice Chair
Susan K. Broman, Treasurer
Frederick W. Bryant, Secretary

Mary Fisher, honorary trustee

Since it was formed by a group of grantmakers in 1989, the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) has
distributed more than $6 million from 100 plus grantmakers in funding and resources to block the
spread ofHlV/AIDS in Michigan. It has supported programs with demonstrable success such as
peer education, outreach to runaways, homeless and incarcerated youth, and testing and
counseling for women.
MAF exceeded its fundraising goal for the year and awarded grants totaling $614,297 to 21
organizations located throughout the state. Four examples of these grants are:
$8,400 to Community AIDS Benefit Services in Kalamazoo
$ 10,000 to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community in Baraga
$16,000 to Alternatives for Girls in Detroit
$17,000 to Wellness Networks- Grand Traverse Area in Traverse City
As a result of a Strategic Planning process, the Board of MAF determined that it was time for the
organization to become fully independent with its own Executive Director, aft.er ten years of
nurturing from the Greystone Group in Grand Rapids. After a search process, Glen Jack statted
on January I as Executive Director, and he opened MAF's new office in Southfield in May. The
Board bas appointed Jim Heynen, President of the Greystone Group, to a vacant seat.

�The work of the Michigan AIDS Fund continues because: there are at least 1, 100 new .infections
every year in our state; nearly 6,000 residents have died from AIDS, at least 13,000 neighbors
and friends are living with the disease in Michigan.

Memo To:

C. David Campbell, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, President, and Vicki Rosenberg, COO

RE:

Recommendations on Diversity &amp; Inclusion, Positioning Statement and
Strategic Plan Update

DIVERSITY &amp; INCLUSION

Introduction
At the October 2nd Special Board Meeting, Trustees engaged in a brief, but lively,
discussion about diversity and inclusion, facilitated by Bob Tobin our strategic planning
consultant. Although time did not permit a full exploration of these issues, there was
consensus about the need to strengthen CMF's commitment to these values, both in
principle and practice. To begin this process, the Board asked staff to:
•
•

Expand the definition of "diversity" presented at the meeting;
Prepare a draft value statement with implementation plan for discussion at the
October 31, 2001 Board meeting; and

The following expanded definitions are presented for your consideration.
Diversity is men and women from different nations, ethnicities, races, and
cultures, of different generations, religions, backgrounds, and sexual orientations,
and with different skills, abilities, lifestyles, and beliefs.
Inclusion: An environment where everyone has an opportunity to fully participate
and is valued for the distinctive skills, experiences, and perspectives they bring to
this environment.
Action Item
The following items are presented for discussion and approval:
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the following values
statement:
We Strive for Diversity &amp; 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

�Diversity &amp; Inclusion
Memo to the Board of Trustees
Page 2

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 Michigan.

Based on the discussion of the above resolution, staff would move forward as follows:
•
•
•

Gather data through focus groups and interviews with selected members to
identify areas of concern, desired outcomes, and suggested actions.
Present the results of the data gathering effort to the expanded Long-Range
Planning Committee for discussion and recommendation.
Present the final action plan to the Board for review and action.

POSITIONING STATEMENT
At the October 2 Special Board Meeting, three possible positioning statements were
presented:
• Advancing Charitable Giving
• Supporting (Creating/Advancing) A Culture of Giving
• Advancing the State of Charitable Giving (Philanthropy)
Wbtm lht: vult: was lakt:n, "Supporting a Cullurt: ufGiving" haJ lht: must vutt:s but nut

from a majority of Trustees present. The discussion reminded us of our servant
leadership role, and we returned to the Marketing/Communications Task Force for more
discussion. The Committee has spent more time on this and considers "Serving Givers,
Advancing Giving" as an alternative. There is some concern, however, that using the
word givers is too similar to the United Way.
It has been recommended that the word grantmakers replace givers for the statement to

read " Serving Grantmakers, Advancing Giving." If the Board feels comfortable with
this recommendation, a motion to adopt it as the Positioning statement is in order. If not
we would recommend referring this matter back to the Marketing/Task Force for more
discussion with Bob Tobin our consultant.
STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE
At the October 2"d meeting, the Board approved expanding the Long-Range Planning
Committee (LRPC) to include its original members (Executive Cornn1ittee and Collier,
Fischer, Katt, Lindberg, and Rosenberg) plus Task Force and Committee chairs (Neeta
Delaney, Gil Hudson, Libby Maynard, and Elizabeth Sullivan), and staff (Judy Carl,
Susan Howbert, Donnell Merseareau, and Gail Powers-Schaub). The goal of this
expanded group will be to provide leadership on the integration of the Phase II
recommendations into a comprehensive plan for CMF's future. The Committee's final
recommendations will inform the work of the Marketing -Communications and
Technology Task Forces.

Memo To:

Dave Campbell, Chairman and Board ofTrustees

From:

Gil Hudson, Chairman, Membership Committee

Re:

Work of the Membership Committee

The Membership Committee is meeting on September 28 and has an ambitious agenda.
The following list highlights issues being tackled by the Committee, and we hope to
present many of these issues to you for discussio n and action on October 2.
•
•
•
•
•
•

To redefine Community Foundation Affiliates and revoke voting privileges,
To grandfather the current four members in the Community Foundation Donor
Advised Funds category and eliminate the category,
To adopt a Membership Development Plan for 2002, including delinquent
members and those not contributing at the recommended dues level ,
To set a membership goal of578 by 2006 targeting Independent and Family
Foundations with assets exceeding $1 million,
To agree on core member benefits, and
To discuss a dues increase for 2002, including an expansion of dues categories

Background
The chart that follows this memo summarizes all of the membership categories. The
Community Foundation Committee has recommended the actions noted above
concerning Affiliates and Donor Advised Funds.
CMF has about 65 members that are more than two years delinquent in paying dues The
Committee will be discussing strategies for renewing their membership by March 31 ,
2002 with a recommendation to drop non-responsive members as members effective
April I, 2002. At the same time, we look forward to involving all Trustees in the
Membership Development Plan for 2002. Staff is recommending to the Committee that
there are sufficient non-members above one million dollars in assets in the independent
and family foundation groups to meet the five-year goal of 578
As CMF develops its first marketing brochure, it is necessary to define core membership
benefits. Also following this memo is a list of member benefits the Committee is
discussing.
Finally, it has been six years since CMF increased member dues. Inflation has increased
by at least 18% in that time, and coupled with other economic factors, this is an issue that
needs to be discussed.

Membership Committee

Re:

Membership Recommendations

The Membership Committee met on Friday, September 28, 2001 to review membership
category definitions and criteria, membership retention and recruitment and dues. The
following action items are presented for discussion and approval:

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the following changes in
membership criteria as endorsed by the Membership Committee and recommended
by the Community Foundation Committee where appropriate:
•

Modify the criteria for Community Foundations to reflect the current state
law for community foundations eligible for the community foundation tax
credit.

•

Redefine Community Foundation Affiliate to be limited to those
participating in the Kellogg Youth Challenge and to further revoke their
voting privileges as a CMF member.

•

Eliminate the category of Community Foundation Donor Advised Fund by
grandfathering current members and closing the category to new members.

•

Eliminate the category of "Friends" of CMF.

•

Change the language in the Out-of-State Associates criteria from " must" to
"should" have a grantmakiog presence in Michigan.

•

Amend the criteria for Public Foundations to include "have a permanent
endowment" and "make substantial grants for broad charitable purposes."

RESOLVED further that a policy be approved to terminate membership for nonresponsive members that ar·e more than two years delinquent on membership dues.
RESOLVE D further that the Membership Development Plan/Campaign for 2002,
including the goal of 578 by 200617 be approved.
RESOLVED further that minimum dues be established at a level of $500 and that
the dues categories be expanded with a dues increase to be considered by the
Finance Committee as the budgets are prepared for 2002 and beyond.

�Background
There was consensus by the Committee that we can have "Friend ofCMF" without
making it a distinct membershlp category.
Attached is the Retention Plan to deal with the current 66 delinquent members. It is
important to note that we may drop as many as 50 members by implementing the
recommended policy in 2002.
Also attached is the proposed Membership Development Plan for 2002. We look forward
to your participation. The most desirable targets for membership are the 99 Independent
and 2 15 Family foundations with assets of $1 million or more.
It costs CMF $495 to service each member. A review of existing membership dues
indicates that $500 is the common minimum. We presently have 107 members that pay
dues at the level of$150 or $360. In making the recommendation to raise the minimum
dues level to $500, we recognize that CMF may lose some of these members.

�Retention Strategies

Several membership retention strategies are recommended. By implementing these and
other strategies being developed by the Phase ll Strategic Planning Task Forces,
delinquencies can be significantly minimized and member satisfaction increased thereby
reducing the number of voluntary non-renewals. Those suggested strategies are as
follows. The status of each strategy (continue, expand, or add) is also indicated.
•

Track individual members' membership history (including records of key contacts on
status of membership, dues, etc.), participation in programs, use of services, and
purchases of reports and other products to support more personalized service.
(expand)

•

Make personal contact with each member annually to ask about their satisfaction with
CMF services and to solicit feedback about their needs. Every other year, make this
contact through a visit to the foundation's offices. (expand)

•

Send new members a welcome letter, a membership packet describing CMF
programs, products, and services available to members, invitations to serve on
committees within eight weeks of membership initiation, and, per recommendations
forthcoming from the Services Task Force, assign a "member buddy" or mentor to
new members from among active, current members in the same membership
category. (expand)

•

Feature new members in Memo to Members. (add)

•

Provide new members with a special orientation at the annual conference. (continue)

•

Contact new members at least twice during their first year of membership to highJight
services. (add)

•

Feature renewing members in publications through stories on best practices, quotes,
and special mentions on five-year membership anniversaries (I 0, 15, 20, etc.).
(expand)

•

Contact non-renewing members to encourage them to renew, and, if unsuccessful, to
determine reasons for termination. (continue)

** Additional strateg ies will be forthcoming from Strategic Planning task forces.

�Membership Development Campaign: 2002
The proposed 2002 Membership Development Plan has three steps: 1) identification of
potential members; 2) working with recruitment volunteers; and 3) staff reporting and
recruitment. These are described more fully below.

Identifying Potential Members
CMF uses reports published by the IRS and the Foundation Center to identify potential
new members. Both sources publish reports identifying newly established foundations
and providing contact and asset information for each. The IRS report is published
quarterly. The Foundation Center report is made available to CMF upon publication of
its Michigan Foundation Directory, a biennial publication.

In December of each year, CMF's Director of Membership and Special Projects conducts
research and develops a target list of potential members for distribution to the
Membership Committee and recruitment volunteers (Membership Committee and the
Board). Specific steps in the campaign are as follows:
•

January-- IRS and the Foundation Center reports reviewed to identify CMF
eligible foundations not currently members ofCMF. These include established
and newly formed family and independent foundations. Staff do targeted mailing
to eligible family foundations that includes a special invitation letter and a copy of
The Family Philanthropist newsletter.

•

February-o A chart showing all eligible candidates for membership with foundation
name, contact person, address, city, and asset information is presented to
the Membership Committee for review and discussion;
o Board members and general members are recruited as volunteers to help
with development effort;
o Volunteers select candidates they will contact from the chart discussed
above;
o Each volunteer is provided with the list of candidates s/he has offered to
contact along with a summary of prior contacts, a brief description of each
eligib le fou ndations' characteristics (type, asset size, year formed, etc.), a
timeline for making contact, and key points to discuss with potential
members;
o Membership Committee members are encouraged to recruit 3 new
members, Board members to recruit I to 2 new members, and volunteers
from the general membership to recruit I new member.

•

March/ April --The Director ofMembership &amp; Special Projects carefully monitors
the recruitment effort, contacting each recruitment volunteer to check on progress,
offer assistance, etc. Immediately following each successful invitation, the
Director follows up with a phone call and letter to the new member.

�•

May - Recruit ment volunteer work completed. Recruitment records are updated
for future recruitment (who contacted, how many times, how and what were
results-- comments, for example, "not ready, please re-contact in six months.")

For future campaigns, CMF will develop new marketing materials informed by
recommendations forthcoming from the Marketing-Communications Task Force.
The following is a sample of the format previously used to track recruitment by
membership committee volunteers. This format allows for reporting on the progress of
each volunteer, as well as each foundation.

A commwtity foundation is a ta.x..:xempt public charity organized and operated as a permanent collection of
endowed funds for the long-tcnn benefit of a dcfmed geographic area.
A communi!) foundation affiliate, served by a lead community foundation, is organized and operated as a
permanent endowment for the long-term benefit of a defined geographic area that has recerved funds through
the CMF-W.K. Kellogg Foundation Youth Challenge.
A communi!)• foundation donor advised fund is held by a community foundation where the donor, or a
committee appointed by the donor, may recommend eligible charitable recipients for grants from the fund.
The community foundation's aovemina body must be free to accept or re'ect the recommendations.
A supporting organization is a charity that is not required to meet the public support test because it supports a
community foundation. To be a supporting organization. a charity must meet one of three complex legal tests
that assure, at a minimum, that the organization being supported has some influence over the actions of the
supporting organization. Supporting organizations a.re distinguishable from donor advised funds because they
arc distinct legru entities.
A corporate (company-sponsored) foundation is a private foundation that derives its grantrnaking funds
pnmanly from the contributions of a profit-making business. The company-sponsored foundation often
maintains close ties with the donor company, but it is a separate, legal organization, sometimes with its own
endowment, and is subject to the same rules and re~n~lations as other private foundations.
A corporate giling (direct giving) program is a grantmaldng program established and admirtistered within a

A famrly foundation is one whose funds arc derived from members of a single family. Family members
represent the majority of the board, and control tlte board. Trustees usually setve on a voluntary basis,
recei1ing no compensation; in man) cases, second- and third-generation descendants of the original donors
manage the foundation. Most family foundations concentrate their giving locally, in their communities.
Independent foundations are usually founded by one individual, often by bequest. The members from the
founding family, if any, represent a minority of the board and do not control the board. Many large
independettt foundations are no longer governed by members of the original donor's family, but are run by
boards made up of commumty. business and academic leaders. Independent foundations are oceasionally
termed •non-operating' because they do not run their own programs.
An operating foundation is a private foundation that uses the bulk of its income to provide charitable services
or to run chantable programs of its own. It makes few, if any, grants to outside organizations. To qualify as
an operating foundation, specific rules, in addition to the applicable rules for private foundations, must be
followed.

Pubhc Chant)

Public foundations arc recognized as pubhc chanties by the IRS Al~tough they may provide direct charitable
se" tees to tbe pubhc as other nonprofits do, their primary focus is on gmntmaking.
A pubhc foundation donor advised fund is held by a public foundatJon where the donor. or a committee
appomtcd b} the donor, may recommend eligible charitable recipients for grants from ~le fund. The public
foundation's governing body must be free to accept or reject the recommendations.
A supporting organization is a charity that is not required to meet the public support test because it suppons a
pubhc chanty. To be a supporting organization. a charity must meet one of the three complex legal tests that
assure. at a minimwn. that the organl7.ation being supported bas some influence over the actions of the
supporting orgaruzation. Supporting organizations arc distinguishable from donor-ad\ ised funds because they
arc dtstinct legal entities.

Learning to Give (LTG) to support the national launch of LTG to five
demonstration states (Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Texas and California),
and to add depth and breadth to the Web-site. This grant was made in
anticipation of a companion grant of $900,000 from The Atlantic Philanthropies. A
decision from The Atlantic Philanthropies is pending.

In addition, CMF has been working to secure federal funding through the national
education budget. If this funding is authorized and appropriated as planned, an
additional four states will be added to the demonstration pool {Ohio, Wisconsin,
Florida, and New Hampshire).
If neither The Atlantic Philanthropies nor the federal funding are secured, the Lilly
Endowment will entertain a revised work plan. LTG should know about funding
over the next few months.
Michigan Department of Education
At the request of the Michigan Department of Education, twelve units (three at
each grade level) have been placed on the MOE web-site in support of the Child
2 Child campaign launched by the department to help children affected by the
recent terrorist attacks on the United States. The lessons and LTG are very
prominently displayed on the site. The lessons speak to service and sacrifice for
the benefit of the community, and also to tolerance in a diverse society.

I 0-16-0 l Report

�Detroit Free Press Article
The Detroit Free Press published an article and a picture of the students learning
lessons on philanthropy at VanZile Elementary school of the Detroit Public
Schools. A copy of the out-state version of the article, which was almost the full
front page of the People Section, is enclosed.
National Partnerships and Endorsements
National partnerships with nonprofit umbrella organizations, and endorsements
from national educational organizations have been secured. The list of partners
and endorsers follows at the end. There will be a meeting of the partners and
endorsers in Washington, sometime in the early winter. LTG will work with and
through the national partners in order to disseminate philanthropy education
nationwide.
National Content Advisory Committee
A National Content Advisory Committee of scholars and reflective practitioners
has been selected. Through the support of The Fetzer Institute, the committee
will meet once a year for three years to review and enhance the philanthropy
education content. A list of the members follows. Nine of the scholars represent
each of the universities that are considering working with LTG as the lead
institution in their state for dissemination. The committee will meet for the first
time October 24, 25, and 261h at Season's on the campus of The Fetzer Institute.
Progress Report
Philanthropy Themes and Benchmarks
These are scheduled for review by the National Content Advisory Committee.
Units, Lessons, and Assessment
Over 300 lessons are on the LTG Web-site. Almost 100 additional lessons were
written this summer. By spring 2002, over 500 lessons are expected to be posted
on the site. We are very close to having a sample lesson for each of the
philanthropy benchmarks, and also a sample philanthropy lesson that meets the
Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) benchmarks for social
studies.
The assessment test questions have been reviewed by the Fairness Committee.
By spring sample questions will be available on the Web-site for teachers to
download to create their own tests, or they may use a sample test developed by
LTG. A valid standardized test will not be available for a few more years.
Pilot and Demonstrations Schools
Almost 30 schools have committed a building to teaching two philanthropy units
each year at every grade level for at least three years. Two school systems,
Muskegon Catholic Central and Muskegon Mona Shores, have committed their
districts K-12 and all buildings. The pilot schools will participate in the evaluation
research of LTG being led by Michigan State University. This includes formal

�field-testing of lessons, completion of teacher and student surveys, teacher
journals, three de-briefing meetings each year, and submission of all philanthropy
student work. The list of pilot schools follows. We are still recruiting a Detroit
Public Schools High School.
In addition, several schools have asked to be demonstration sites. These
schools are committed to teaching the units at each grade level, but they will not
be participating in the research study because more than enough schools have
already volunteered for the research. A final list of demonstration schools will be
available by mid-year, many are in the final decision stages.
Teacher Support Materials
Briefing Papers
Twenty-one new graduate student produced briefing papers were received in the
spring. They are in the final editing process and will be placed on the Web
shortly. This brings the total number of papers to forty. The first literature briefs
have been received, analyzing the relationship of the books: My Antonia, Great
Expectations, The Grapes of Wrath, and The Education of Little Tree, to LTG
philanthropy themes.
High School CD ROM and Textbook Supplement
The outline has been completed for some time. We are awaiting a decision from
the Association of Fund-Raising Professionals foundation regarding matching the
Charles Stewart Mott Foundation challenge grant for this new resource.
Professional Development
Masters Degree in Education with a Philanthropy Endorsement
The online M.A. in Education with a philanthropy concentration is well underway
in partnership with Ferris State University. There will be two summer residential
sessions for 12 credit hours held in Grand Rapids, which are required to meet the
university accreditation requirements for offering a Masters Degree. The other
24 credit hours will be available online. In addition, a certificate in philanthropy
will be available for people who do not wish to have the M.A. or the teaching
certification, but are interested in the philanthropy content. With luck, the first
summer residential session will be held during the summer of 2002.
Summer Institutes
Summer institutes, 2002, for teachers are planned in Michigan and Ohio, with the
possibility of a third institute in New Hampshire. The Ohio Institute will be held
again at the Mandel Center at Case Western Reserve.
Dissemination and Publicity
Web-site
The Web-site continues to be developed. If the funding components fall into
place the site will be enhanced by adding components for students, parents, and
community leaders. Then the whole site will become more interactive.

�Newsletters/Brochures
The basic brochure has been reprinted, and is included for your use.
Newsletters are produced bi-annually. The fall newsletter is due to be mailed in
mid-November.

�LESSON IN CARING: THE ABCS OF GIVING STUDENTS LEARN SOME
OF THE BASICS OF PHILANTHROPY
Detroit Free Press (MI)
By JULIE ROSS FREE PRESS EDUCATION WRITER
Date: October 4, 200 I; Page: I8
Edition: METRO FINAL; Section: NWS

Memo: AMERICA RESPONDS IN CLASSROOMS

Teacher Ramona Purdy scrawled the word on a yellow strip of paper over the chalkboard and
asked her two dozen students to define it.
Philanthropy. Fil-an-thro-pee.
A tough concept for adults, sure, but try it on fourth- and fifth-graders. Most stared blankly at the
board inside Detroit's VanZile Elementary School.
"Let's take ourselves back to the World Trade Center, when people came out to volunteer
together for the common good," she said as she scribbled the definition underneath the yellow
strip. "What were they giving? Their time, talent and treasure.
"That's philanthropy," she said, "the giving of one's time, talent or treasure."
Schools, to varying degrees, have for years taught the hows and whys of helping others, but the
character lessons have taken on a new importance after last month's ten·orist attacks.
Now the state is renewing interest by promoting pre-packaged lesson plans on its Web site-plans that are easy for teachers to download and follow, take up about 45-minute blocks of class
time and match the state's learning goals.
The "Learning to Give" plans are available for every grade level and were written by Michigan
teachers three years ago under grants from the W.K. Kellogg, Ford, Surdna, and Ewing Marion
Kauffman foundations and the Lilly Endowment. The project was organized by the Council of
Michigan Foundations.
Grosse Pointe, Plymouth-Canton and Romulus schools have used the Michigan lesson plans, and
teachers in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Texas and Ohio are creating similar packets.

�"If we, as a system, don't become better at teaching children that it's not about me, but what I can
do for others, we've tmly lost it," said Purdy, who wrote Wednesday's lesson for the project. "It's
something we've gotten away from and we need to get back to, especially after last month's
events."
The lessons cover everything from nonprofit organizations to the difference between being a
hero and being famous.

�Kindergartners might talk about sharing their toys while sixth-graders may read biographies of
children who lived in Japanese internment camps following the Pearl Harbor attacks. High
school students are encouraged to research nonprofit agencies and volunteer their time after
school.
"Many people think of philanthropy as an older fellow who digs in his pockets and gives
money," said Janice Peterson, who teaches preschool at Woodward Elementary School in
Detroit. "But even the littlest ones have the capacity to be productive and to help their
community. If we get to them early and teach about caring, it is an investment that pays off in the
long run."
As part of their philanthropy lesson, Peterson has her students clean the school playground each
year. She then has them discuss their feelings of accomplislunent to reinforce the idea of feeling
good after giving.
Purdy's students offered several examples of how they and their families help others.
"My mom said it was real important to help people when the planes crashed. She doesn't know if
it's going to happen again, so she gave some money," said 10-year-old Keisha Joyce.
John Kirk, 9, said he gives lost motorists directions and delivers messages within his apartment
building for disabled neighbors.
"Some don't have food or family, so if we give them money or food, they'll be happier and might
forget they don't have family," he said.

T.J. Bucholz, a department of education spokesm an, said the state also is collecting money to
send to the September 11th Fund in New York, eannarked to aid children, and providing
information to school administrators on how to help students deal with last month's attacks.
"It is just as important to teach philanthropy as it is to teach social studies or math or science," he
said.

treasure. That's philanthropy."

Memo To:

C. David Campbell, Chairman and
Board ofTrustees

From:

Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Co-Chairs
Government Relations Committee

Re:

Annual Review of Legislative Goals Statement and other business

The Government Relations Committee met on August 17, 2001. The Committee
completed its annual review of the Legislative Goals Statement; examined the charitable
provisions ofH.R. 7 at the federal level; discussed strategies for increasing philanthropy's
presence in Lansing with David Haynes of Public Affairs Associates, and met with Pat
Babcock, Director of Public Policy at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, on the charge for
CMF's new Public Policy Committee. A copy of the minutes ofthe meeting with related
documents are attached.
Based on the work of the Committee we are presenting two recommended actions for
discussion and approval.

I. Annual Approval of Legislative Goals Statement

RESOLVED that the Legislative Goals Statement be approved with the following
changes noted in the copy attached to this resolution:
National Legislative Issues
Revision of Goal4: To repeal the excise tax on private foundations, replacing the
previous goal of reducing the excise tax to a flat one percent.
State Legislative Issues
Addition of new Goal to support simplification of the Charitable Solicitation Act.
Background
~A-9~
The Committee feels that simplification of the ~e tax is an intermediate step with the
goal being an ultimate repeal. This new position supports the position of the Council on
Foundations. Because community foundations are subject to the Charitable Solicitation
Act, the Committee supports the addition of this Goal, which is also a Goal of the
Michigan Nonprofit Association.

Govemment Relations Memo
September 22, 2001

Page2

The Committee wants to highlight that three Goals have been completed and have been
moved to the accomplishments list
• The old National Goal 13 to support elimination ofthe Charitable Split Dollar
Insurance Plan
• The old State Goals 3 and 4 on legislation to strengthen the definition of a
community foundations in the state tax code and to allow for the transfer of gifts
received by public school systems to community foundations
Finally, the Committee approved language updating the explanation of the goals to reflect
the current legislative efforts in Lansing and Washington.
II. Creation of a Philanthropy Caucus in the State Legislature
€t\.W

V~ ~~If\"\~~

tJ. ~ t&amp;

RESOLVED that CMF suppe~catiollof a Philanthropy Caucus, a bi-partisan (_
group of up to 20 state legislators representing both the Senate and the House, with
~ o.Ll
a purpose to share the work of foundations and corporate giving programs with
~
their colleagues and to refer questions to CMF.
~6a.S

..rc-9--

Background
The State Legislature is again undergoing great transition due to term limits with more
than 2/3 of the State Senate being new in the 2002 election. While CMF and our
members can continue to work on educating new legislators, we need to consider using
those legislators that both understand philanthropy and are positioned on key committees
to help us help their colleagues better understand the role that philanthropy plays in
Michigan. We believe that there is such a group oflegislators on both sides of the aisle
and in both Chambers that understand the work of foundations and corporate giving
programs in our State.
.•

As a next step, staff and the Co-Chairs of the Government Relations Committee would
work with David Haynes, CMF's lobbyist from Public Affairs Associates in Lansing to
identify likely co-chairs of such a PbiJantbropy Caucus. Because much of the
legislature's work involving philanthropy comes from the tax and finance areas, two
examples of such legislators are Representative Patti Birkholz (Republican from
Holland), a member of the House Tax Policy Committee, and Senator Bob Emerson
(Democrat from F lint), a member of the Senate Finance Committee.

COUNCIL OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS
Legislative Goals Statement
The purpose of the Council of Michigan Foundations' Government Relations Committee is to
seek support for legislative changes at both the state and national levels that encourage the role
and effectiveness of foundation and corporate philanthropy.
The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March I, 1979_
Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June
14, 1985; April l2, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995; October
30, 1996; March 13, 1997; November4, 1998; October 14, 1999; October 2, 2000, and
October 2001.

I. PIDLANTHROPY IN MICIDGAN AND AMERICA
Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. ln 1999,
foundations and corporations in America donated more than $ 1.1 billion for charitable causes
and services, including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, libraries, and programs
for the elderly and the needy. Today, with a slowing in the economy, foundations and
corporations are being challenged to increase their support and charitable donations in the face of
program changes initiated by national, state, and local governments, as wel l as increased needs_
ln the face of this challenge, it is apparent that more can and should be done to encourage the
creation and growth of new foundations and corporate giving programs as well as to reduce the
operating regulatory burdens on existing foundations and corporate giving programs.
Unfortunately, the 1969 Tax Act, while introducing a number of reforms, also erected a number
of major barriers to foundation philanthropy_ These include the provisions that serve as
dis incentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as provisions that discourage charitable
donations to existing foundations. It has become apparent that a number of Internal Revenue
Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive
on the grantrnaking effectiveness ofMichigan's more than 1,600 foundations, as well as the
more than 48,000 other foundations in communities across the United States.
If foundations and corporations are to expand their support of important social needs and
programs, the Council of Michigan Foundations must work actively to inform the general public_
as well as state and federal legislators, and other policymakers on these important issues. In
1977, the Members ofCMF directed the Board ofTrustees to develop a public information
program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy and include
communication with public policymakers. A Government Relations Committee was established
to implement the program and has continued to survey CMF Members on their legislative
interests and priorities on a timely basis.

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

IV. NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
1.

Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect
the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability.
Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private
foundation, it is important that all historical financial data be taken into consideration.
History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal.
(Reilly/Skadden, University ofMichigan Graduate School of Business Administration
study sponsored by CMF, 1981 -Private Foundations: The Payout Requirement and Its
Effect on Investment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study
"Spending Policies and Investment Planning for Foundations, " 1995, sponsored by the
Council on Foundations.) CMF sponsored study, completed in May 2000, by Cambridge
Associates, Inc., of the actual performance of a group of Michigan endowed private
foundations confirms the position of maintaining the payout rate at no more than 5
percent.

2.

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

3.

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

4.

Goal: Repeal the excise tax on private foundations.
Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be
reduced from 2 to 1 percent if a foundation 's payout for the year in question equals or
exceeds an amount equal to the year' s assets, times the average payout percentage for the
five years, plus 1 percent of the foundation ' s net investment income. Private foundations
are the only 50 I ©(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax . The current
formula is difficult to administer and can limit charitable giving.
3

�20

While simplification to a flat one percent is an acceptable intermediate step and is in
H.R.7 passed the summer of2001, the Senate has introduced SB 1300 that calls for repeal
of the tax.
5.

Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and
repeal the 3 percent floor on itemized deductions.
Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions,
Congress approved a 3 percent floor in deductions . This floor was scheduled to expire at
the end of 1995, but was made permanent effective in 1993.

6.

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

7.

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

8.

Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers.
Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form that permits itemized
deductions; instead they file the short form that al lows only a standard deduction. From
1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize
charitable contributions within certain limits, but the deduction expired J anuary I, 1987.
In July 200 I the House passed H.R. 7 that includes a phased in deduction over ten years
from $25 to $100. Senator Gramm has introduced S. 35, which contains a provision that
would phase in a l 00% deduction by 2006.

4

�21

9.

Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can
lobby or otberwise.influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that
adversely affect grantmaking.
Explanation: Continuous monitoring is essential to oppose unreasonable and
urmecessary regulatory reporting burdens on both foundations and their grantees.

10.

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

11.

Goal: Permit tax-free distribution from individual retirement accounts (JRAs) for
charitable purposes.
Explanation: It is proposed that direct gifts from an IRA to a charitable organization
would not be taxed as income to the account-holder who has attained the age of 59- 112
years of age, if the disbursement is made directly to either a qualified charity or a
qualifying deferred giving plan, known as the IRA - Charitable Rollover Bill (H. R. 13 11 ,
S. 1086). It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many
charitable organizations, including community foundations. H.R. 7, passed by the House
in July 2001, includes the IRA Rollover at age 70 1/2. Efforts are underway to have the
Senate support similar legislation introduced by Senator Hutchison asS. 205.

12.

Goal: Avoid excessive corporate giving regulations.
Explanation: CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation, which
would require costly administration. While legislation was introduced in 2000 which
would require public companies annually to disclose to their shareholders the charities to
which they made contributions and U1e amount of each contribution if a corporate officer
or spouse is on the grantee's board, it has never received suflicient Committee support to
be considered by the House or Senate.

13.

Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 200 I on creation of new
foundations and gifts to exiting foundations.
Explanation: The "Tax ReliefReconciliatioo Act of2001" passed by the Congress and
signed into law by the President in June 2001, phases out the Estate Tax between 2002
and 20 I 0. Full repeal however is only in effect for the year 2010, and the estate tax then
reverts, unless new legislation is passed, to the 2000 tax code status.
5

�22

While it is the position of CMF to not support or oppose legislation that has a broad
impact beyond the charitable field, it is necessary to monitor the impact on philanthropy
of this legislation and future changes that might be made in the estate tax.
V. STATE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
1.

Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to community benefits as it relates to
non-profits.
Explanation: Legislation has been proposed in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Texas,
which threatens the tax exemption of charitable organizations. CMF, working with
partners such as the Michigan Nonprofit Association, will closely monitor any related
efforts in Michigan.

2.

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

3.

Goal: Monitor legislation necessary for a portion of the state tobacco settlement funds to
be annually granted to CMF for distribution to certified Michigan community
foundations for the establishment of Healthy Youth &amp; Healthy Senior Funds.
Explanation: Michigan's share of the national tobacco settlement ($206 billion over the
next 26 years) between 46 states, five commonwealths and territories and the District of
Columbia with five tobacco companies, representing 97.5% of the industry, is $8.3
billion. The master settlement agreement does not specify bow states may spend their
settlement payments. Distribution of tobacco settlement funds by CMF to 64 certified
community foundations for 2000 and 2001 equals $15.8 million. Another $5.9 mHlion
has been approved as part of the Department of Career Development's $6 million
allocation to CMF for the State's 2001-2002 fiscal year. Annual monitoring of this
legislation is required to insure that the Legislature understands the valuable role the
community foundations play.
4. Goal: Support legislation to simplify tbe C haritable Solicitations Act.
Explanation: Community foundations are required as well as other charitable nonprofits
to file for an annual solicitation license. The licensing, enforcement, and appeal
processes are not considered user friendly by nonprofits and do not reflect the changing
cost in fundraising. CMF bas joined MNA in supporting proposed legislation that
Representative George is considering introducing with support from the Attorney

Minutes of the Government Relations Committee
August 17,2001
In attendance: Co-Chairs Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Maureen Smyth, Leonard
Smith, Fred Woodruff, Jack Hopkins, Pat Babcock and Rob Collier
Special Guests: David Haynes of Public Affairs Associates and Julia Szanton,
International Coordinator for CMF
The Meeting was called to order at 10:05 a.m. by Co-Chairs Maynard and Kennedy.

Special Lansing Initiatives
David Haynes led a discussion on strategies for increasing the visibility of CMF in
Lansing in light of term limits. The three strategies discussed included: a philanthropy
day, a philanthropy caucus, and targeted meetings with legislators. There was consensus
that CMF should move forward in encouraging development of a philanthropy caucus.
Once the Board approves the concept, Collier will develop a draft statement for the
Committee to review that Haynes will use to help present the caucus idea to key
legislators.
There was consensus that it is prematwe to consider a special philanthropy day.
However, Haynes recommends that key legislators on the attached Circle oflnfluence list
be matched with grantmakers. Collier will provide the Committee with a suggested
match list to discuss.

Legislative Goals Statement
A. Federal Goals
The Committee approved three actions related to the federal goals.
• Goal 13 on elimination of the charitable split dollar insurance plans has been
completed and moved to the accomplishments list
• Goall4 concerning monitoring the estate tax continue to be kept on the list of
ongoing goals

simplification added to the explanation section.
B. State Goals

• Goals 4 and 5 concerning community foundations have been completed and
moved to the accomplishments list
