Memo to:

Ranny Riecker, Chair, &amp; CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Libby Maynard &amp; David Kennedy, Co-Chairs
Government Relations Committee

Re:

Government Relations Report

Page 38

The Government Relations Committee met on August 16,2000. Two resolutions are
presented for Board consideration based on the discussion at this meeting.

I.

Position on Estate Tax &amp; Update of Legislative Goals Statement

RESOLVED that C.MF adopt the Legislative Goals Statement for 2000, as attached
to tbis report, with the inclusion of Goall4 on the issue of Repeal of the Estate Tax
as follows.
Goal: Monitor estate tax legislation that could impact the creation of new foundations
and gifts to exiting foundations.
Explanation: Families facing the need to sell the family farm or business to pay
estate taxes are strong advocates for change of the gift and estate ta.x. Supporters
of the tax argue that the estate tax provides an incentive for taxpayers to give to
charity in order to prevent assets from going to the government. H. R. 8 to repeal
the Gift &amp; Estate Ta.x, has been passed by the Congress, but vetoed by the
President. An effort to overturn the veto fell shan by 14 votes in the House.
Further legislation is expected in 2001. It is the position of CMF to not support or
oppose tax legislation that has a broad impact beyond the charitable field.

Background:
Rob Collier indicated that CMF bas been asked by several members about its position on
the issue of the Estate Tax repeal He reviewed the policy of the Council on Foundations
to not take a position on this issue. There was consensus that CMF should not take a
position on tax legislation that is both ancillary to philanthropy, and that has an uncertain
impact on philanthropy.
Collier provided an update on both federal and state legislation affecting philanthropy,
noting that four legislative goals have been accomplished in the past year. Goal 13,
concerning the Charitable Split Dollar Insurance, has been accomplished with passage of
federal legislation outlawing this planned givi ng technique. On the state level, three bills
have now been passed affecting community foundations. The Tobacco Settlement
Distribution Bill provides $6 million in the new fiscal year, for distribution to community
foundations. A bill allowing transfers of endowment gifts from public schools to

�39
community foundations for the same purposes, and the bill to strengthen the definition of
a community foundation, have also been passed.
These accomplishments along with updates on other key federal legislation, have been
incorporated into the attached CMF Legislative Goals Statement. The Committee
approved a request from the Council on Foundations to send a letter to Senator Abraham
and Senator Levin requesting their support of Senator Roth's goal to include the
Charitable IRA Rollover Bill in the Senate Pension Reform package being considered in
September. Since the Cornrninee Meeting, we have learned that the Charitable Rollover
Bill has been incorporated into the Senate Pension Refonn package of bills.

ll.

CMF's Relationship with State Government

RESOLVED that CMF shall respond to opportunities to partner with state
government when the following occurs:
•
•
•
•

There is evidence that the partnership opportunity shall advance the mission and goals
ofCMF
There is confmnation from advisors that the partnership is considered non-partisan
CMF members support the proposed partnership
The Executive Committee reviews and approves entering into the Partnership

RESOLVED further that adoption of this resolution rescind the motion adopted by
the Board on CMF's relationship with state government at the June 2000 meeting.
Background:
At the June Board Meeting the Board adopted lhe following resolution but requested that
the Government Relations Committee meet to further develop the policy on CMF's
relationship with state government.

"Resolved that CMF respond to opportunities to partner with State Government
when the following criteria are in place:
•
•
•

Individual andlor organized philanthropy at the locaUregionallevel shall be
increased
CMF members request and support the proposed partnership
The work of the nonprofit sector at the locaUregionaUstate level is str engthened"

The Committee had a lively discussion on this policy including these questions. What
constitutes sufficient membership interest in a partnership with state government?
Should we define philanthropy in the policy? How should we create a firewall to protect
CMF after the legislature bas acted? There was consensus that CMF should not be
involved in an issue that needs to be politicized, that staff should rely on Public Affairs
Associates for neutral analysis of the political implications, and that the Executive
Committee should be involved in the final decision, because ir can respond quickly.

�40
The Committee recognizes that lhis policy is a work in progress, and that the proposed
resolution may need to be updated as changes occur with our state goverrunent.

IlL

Strengthening the CMF State Legislative Network

The Committee reviewed the proposal from David Haynes, ofPublic Affairs Associates
(P AA), on three activities to strengthen CMF's State Legislative Network. While
recognizing that the proposed activities should wait until after the election, it directed
staff to request a proposal from Mr. Haynes, on holding two pilot lunch meetings in
Lansing, early in 2001 with foundations from certain sections of the state. Participation
in these pilot meetings will be determined once Legislative Committee assignmentS are
made.
There was consensus that staff should work with Mr. Haynes on developing an expanded
training program for legislators and their staff, building on the Michigan Foundation
Directory st:minar, that will be likely be held in February. Finally, Mr. Collier will invite
Haynes to meet with community foundation CEOs, at their annual March retreat, to
establish a quick response po licy that will help CMF better respond to proposed
legislation that may affect the viability of the community foundation tax credit

COUNCIL OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS
Legislative Statement
October 2000
The purpose of the Council ofMichigan Foundations' Government Relations Program is to seek
support for legislative changes that encourage the role and effectiveness of foundation and
corporate philanthropy.

Philanthropy in America
Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 1999,
foundations and corporations donated more than $22.8 billion for charitable causes and services,
including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, Libraries, and programs for the elderly,
and the needy. Today, 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 well as increased needs. In the face of this challenge, it is apparent that
much can and should be done to encourage the creation and growth of new foundations and
corporate giving programs.
Unfortunately, the L969 Tax Act, while introducing a number of reforms, also erected a number
of major barriers to foundation philanthropy. These include the provisions that serve as
disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as provisions that discourage charitable
donations to existing foundations. lt 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 grantmak:ing effectiveness ofMichigan' s more than 1,468 foundations. as well as the more
than 42,500 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 ofMichigan Foundations must work actively to inform the general public,
as well as state and federal legislators and other policymakers, on these important issues.

Background: Cl\llF Government Relations Program
In 1977, the Council of Michigan Foundations' (CNIF) Members directed the Board ofTrustees
to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation
philanthropy. This program was to include a plan to communicate with public policymakers A
Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the
program.

�42

Since then, the Government Relations Committee has surveyed the CMF Members in their
legislative interests and priorities on a timely basis. In 1980, CMF also launched a "Developing
Good Will Program" to assist in this public information effort
CMF has worked with foundation and corporate Members, the Council on Foundations, other
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 fo llowing twenty-one goals have been
accomplished:

National Legislative Issues
I.

Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect
the real value of foundations' grantrnaking capability.

Explanation: ln 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 smtat a portion of the annual return should be returned to principaL
(Reilly/S~

foundations confirms the position of maintaining the payout rate at no more than 5
percent.

�44

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. In his fiscal year 2001 budget proposal, the President proposes to increase the
percentage to 50 per cent for gifts to community foundations and other public charities
and to 30per cent for gifts to private foundations. Tax legislation with this proposal is
considered unlikely this year.

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 fai r market value of a
gift to a private foundation of appreciated property in the form of publicly-traded stock, if
the gift is less than I0 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.

Goa l: Reduce excise tax to flat 1 percent instead of the present complicated formula
which permits, in some cases, a reduction from 2 to I percent.
Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be
reduced from 2 to I 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. In his fiscal year
200 I budget proposal, the President recommended a flat 1.25% tax. Prospects for
legislation that includes this recommendation are uncertain.

5.

Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and
repeal the 3 percent floor on itemized deductions.
Explana tion: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, the
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.
4

�45

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.

G oa l: 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 qunlifying distributions thal are madt: '·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 me
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.
Expla nation : Most taxpayers no longer fi le the long tax form which permits itemized
deductions; instead they file the short form which allows only a standard deduction.
From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus
itemize charitable contributions within certain limits, but the deduction expired January 1,
1987. Legislation has been introduced in 1999, H.R. 13 10, which will allow nonitemizers to deduct 50 percent of their charitable contributions over $500. In the State of
the Union Address, on January 27,2000, the President proposed a phase in of the
deduction over I 0 years, beginning with a 50 per cent deduction for charitable gifts that
exceed $ I ,000 annually, and by year I 0, providing a deduction of 50 per cent for gifts
that exceed$ 500. Legislation in this election year on this proposal is unlikely.

5

�46

9.

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

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 pension plans, which since 1980 have been
exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain
real property.

ll.

Coal: Permit tax-free distribution from individual retirement accounts (lRAs) for
charitable purposes.
Explanation: It is proposed that direct gifts from an lRA 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 lRA- Charitable Rollover Bill (H. R. 131 1,
S. 1086). It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many charitable
organizations, including community foundations. A compromise was included in the
Roth Budget Bill passed by the Senate and House in 1999, but vetoed by the President
Senator Roth introduced the IRA Charitable Rollover as part of a second tax reconciliation pension reform bill, and approval by the Senate is expected in September 2000.

12.

Goal: A void excessive corporate giving regulations.
Explanation: Legislation has been introduced, H.R. 887, which would require public
companies annually to disclose to their shareholders the charities to which they made
contributions and the amount of each contribution if a corporate officer or spouse is on
the grantee's board. On March 15,2000, the bill was tabled by the Commerce Committee
due to heavy opposition. The Council on Foundations has explored an amended version
of the bill supporting disclosure of gifts over $25,000 and removing entirely disclosure of
contributions to nonprofits where a corporate director or spouse is on the Board. CMF
supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation which would require costly
administration.

�47

13.

Goal: Support legislation eliminating Charitable Split Dollar Insurance Plans.

Explanation: As designed and marketed, a donor setting up a CSDI plan makes a "gift"
to a charity and claims a charitable income tax deduction for the full amounL The charity
then uses the gift to pay the premiwn on a life insurance policy on the life of the donor
for the benefit of the donor's heirs. At the death of the donor, the charity gets a portion of
the death benefit (normally one-third the value), and the heirs get the rest plus any taxsheltered accumulation of the policy. The insurance broker pushing the product also gets
a sizable commission. In order that the donor to be able to deduct the full amount of the
gift, the charity will have to provide written verification that the gift was received without
ods or services to the donor in return. Advocates for this scheme argue that the full
~~ t is deductible because each donation is an unrestricted cash gift. and the charity
~~\b) oose not to purchase the insurance policy.

@&gt;~
~

14.

H.R. 630 denies a charitable contribution deduction for &lt;he donor of a split-dollar
contract, and imposes an excise tax on the charity equal to the amount of the premiums
paid by the charity. Certain reporting requirements are also established by the legislation.
This legislation was incorporated into H. R. 1180, the Tickets to Work and Work
Incentives Improvement Act uf 1999, and signed into law December 17, 1999.

Goal: Monitor estate ta'&lt; legislation that would impact the creation of new foundattons
and gifts to exiting foundations.
Explanation: Families facing the need to sell the family farm or business to pay estate
taxes are strong advocates for change of the gift and estate tax. Supporters of the tax
argue that the estate tax provides an incentive for taxpayers to give to charity in order to
prevent assets from going to the government. H. R. 8 to repeal the Gift &amp; Estate Tax, has
been passed by the Congress, but vetoed by the President. An effort to overturn the veto
fell short by 14 votes in the House. Further legislation is expected in 200 I . It is the
position of CMF to not support or oppose tax legislation that has a broad impact beyond
the charitable field.

State Legislative Issues
I.

Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to community benefits as it relates to
non-profits.
Explanation: Legislation bas 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.

Goal: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from
individuals.
Explanation: Other states have found a tax deduction favorable to encouraging
additional gifts to charities, educational institutions, churches, etc., by individuals. The
United Way ofMichigan is taking the lead on possible introduction of a limited tax
deduction.

3.

Goal: Support legislation further defining a community foundation in the State Tax
Code.

a 4 a t i o n: A community foundation is currently defmed in the State Tax Code

Goal: Pursue legislation necessary for a portion of the state tobacco settlement fimds to
be granted to Michigan community foundations for the establishment of Healthy Youth
Funds.

~

@planation: Michigan's share of the national tobacco settlement ($206 billion over the
~ 26 years) between 46 states, five commonwealths and territories and the District of

olumbia with five tobacco companies, representing 97.5% of the industry, is $8.3
billion. The master settlement agreement does not specify how states may spend their
settlement payments.
P r ogress: S. B. 79, signed by the Governor, provides that the interest payments on the
25% of the Tobacco Settlement not going to the Governor's Merit Awards, will come to
the Council of Michigan Foundations for distribution to certified community foundations
for support of healthy youth and healthy senior programs. An initial payment of $2.1
Million has been distributed to 65 certified community foundations in a formula based on
population of youth under 18. and seniors over 65. Total distribution will exceed$ 50
Million over the lifetime of the settlement.

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
Repeal of the Gift and Estate Tax
H.R. 8

51

Issue: Repeal of the Gift and Estate Tax (sometimes called the "Death
Tax") is high on the Republican agenda for the 106th Congress and has
attracted Democratic support as w ell. Families facing the need to sell the
family farm or business to pay estate taxes are strong advocates for
change. They argue that the tax is costly, inefficient and discourages work
and savings. Arguments for keeping the tax include that it adds
progressivity to the tax system, that it breaks up concentrations of wealth,
that it is an important backstop to the income tax and that repeal helps
only the most wealthy. Supporters of the tax also argue that the estate tax
provides an incentive for taxpayers to give to charity in order to prevent
assets from going to the government The high estate tax rates
encourage (1) charitable bequests at death and (2) active estate planning
using a variety of charitable gift options before death.
Status of Current Legislation: On June 9 the House passed H.R. 8legislation that would repeal the federal estate, gift and generationskipping transfer tax by 2010. The Senate passed an identical bill on July
14th. Under this bill, the estate tax would be phased out over ten years,
with full repeal becoming effective in 2010. Complementing the phasEH&gt;ut
of the estate tax, the bill also ends the current "step-up· in basis for assets
acquired by bequest, meaning that heirs will pay increased capital gains
tax when they dispose of inherited property.
Alternatives: A proposal offered by Democrats would have cut the tax
rates across the board (dropping the top rate to 44 percent, for example),
immediately increasing the exemption amount by $150,000, and
effectively increasin~ the exemption for small family farms and businesses
to $2 milhon ($4 million for couples).
Administration Position: President Clinton has promised to veto H.R. 8.
Council on Foundations Position: During its March 1999 meeting, the
Management Committee of the Council's board of directors passed a
resolution that, "Reaffirmed the Council's longstanding practice of not
supporting or opposing tax legislation that has a broad impact beyond just
the charitable field (such as major tax restructuring; or efforts to increase.
decrease or repeal income, gift or estate taxes)." The resolution also
committed the Council to continue to "(1) Share research findings on the
impact such major changes may have on the charitable field; and (2) Take
appropriate pos1tions on tax legislation directly related to the charitable
deduction and on taxes that are directly applied to the operations of
foundations.·
Estate Tax Facts: What is often referred to as the "estate tax" actually is
made up of three taxes-the estate tax itself, the gift tax and what is known
as the generation-skipping tax. Together these three taxes are an
interdependent system intended to tax wealth transfers once per
generation. Repeal proposals affect all three.
There were about 90,000 estate tax forms filed in 1997; about 45,000 of
these estates owed tax, totalin9 $14 billion. Overall, the estates of fewer
than 2 percent of Americans w111 pay estate tax. Estates of less than
$675,000, rising to $1 million in 2006, do not owe tax and are not even
required to file a return. There is no tax on amounts bequeathed to a
surviving spouse. Most estates that include family-owned businesses and
farms are entitled to a $1 .3 million exemption in 2000. In addition, estate
tax payments can be deferred up to 14 years, at below-market interest
rates, when a family-owned business or farm accounts for at least 35

percent of an estate.

Estate tax rates range from 37 percent to 55 percent (paid by the biggest
estates).
Proceeds from the estate tax currently represent less than 2 percent of
federal tax receipts. However, most analysts believe that estate tax
revenue will grow significantly in the future due to the aging of the
population, the stock market boom and other factors.
Taxpayers who died during 1995 bequeathed $10 billion to charity.
Approximately $4 billion of this represented gifts from 182 decedents who
left estates valued at $20 million or more.
Pricewaterhouse/Caplln &amp; Drysdale Study: Commissioned by the Council
on Foundations and Independent Sector, this 1997 study found that in the
absence of an estate tax, total charitable bequests from estates would
have fallen in 1996 from about $8.5 billion to about $5.5 billion. This $3
billion drop would have been a reduction of about 35 percent These
estimates do not include any measurement of estate planning gifts that
might be made before death. Total charitable giving annually (including
individual giving, bequests and contributions from foundations and
corporations) is now about $190 billion. Supporters of repeal argue that
giving would not be affected or would increase because families would
have more resources from which to give.

CMF Board ofTrustees

From: Richard K. Rappleye

RE:

CMF &amp; Supporting Organizations' July 31,2000 Financial Statements

Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations Board of Trustees accept
the July 31, 2000 Financial Report as recommended by the CMF Audit &amp;
Finance Committee.
On September 12, 2000, the CMF Audit &amp; Finance Committee met to review and approve
the July 31,2000 Internal Financial Statements forCMF, MCFV, and the Michigan AIDS
Fund.

Consolidated Balance Sheet
Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents
The relative large cash balance for MCFV represents funds that are set aside to meet future
programming needs and grant payments to community foundations.
Grants Payable
The grants payable balance for CMF represents Tobacco Settlement grants that were paid out
in August. As of August 31, 2000, all but 13 community foundations have received their
"Round One" payments. In order to receive payments, a foundation must provide evidence
they have raised unrestricted or field-of-interest funds equal to the grant amount they will
receive, and have formed an advisory committee to approve grants they will make from these
funds.
The Michigan AIDS Fund approves grants on an annual basis (April 2000) and makes
payments quarterly.

CMF Core Operations
Note 1: Conference Income
The variance from budget is due to the timing ofhost contributions received for the Annual
Conference.
Note 2: Investment Income
The variance from budget is due to the interest income earned on funds received for special
projects.
Note 3: Salaries &amp; Benefits
The variance from budget is due to the COO's position that has yet to be filled.
Note 4: Travel
$1,600 variance from budget is due to the lease cost associated with a second vehicle that
was purchased for the COO position. This vehicle will be used by staff, until the COO
position is filled, and should partially offset the mileage that would have been paid for the
business use of personal cars. $840 of the variance is due to the early payoff of a lease on the
President's vehicle, allowing CMF to lease a new vehicle at a lower rate.
Note 5: Conference &amp; Meetings
The variance is due to the timing of invoices that have begun to arrive for the October CMF
Annual Conference.

Memo to:

Board of Trustees

From:

Julie F. Cummings, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee

Subject:

Family Philanthropy Report

We are pleased to highlight the following family philanthropy activities:
Familv Foundation Retreat at Annual Conference
Great news! CMF's first Family Foundation Retreat, which begins on Saturday,
September 30, 2000, is sold out! The retreat was planned in response to our family
foundation members' desire to be able to include in CMF activities those family members
who are not easily available during the workweek, and to have a more intimate
environment within which to discuss issues that are unique to family foundations.
Retreat highlights include:
• "What Makes a GREAT Family Foundation Board?", an interactive session
focusing on the changing and challenging roles of family foundation boards,
featuring Sandra Hughes, Chief Knowledge Officer and Senior Governance
Consultant, National Center for Nonprofit Boards. Family foundation trustees
will learn about the new best practices and emerging trends in foundation
governance, and strategies to address generational issues.
•

"Ethical Choices for Family Foundations: Defining Our Moral Compass",
facilitated by Graham Phaup, Director, Project on Ethics and Philanthropy, The
Institute for Global Ethics, will explore standards of conduct and investigate the
right-versus-right ethical dilemmas that routinely confront family foundation
trustees.

•

" Dive Into the Pool!", a session to establish a family foundation statewide
funding pool, has the potential to be the beginning of a national model. With the
help of a facilitator, attendees will design the structure for a family foundation
giving group, establish the ground rules and identify the first area of interest to
receive funding.

The Family Foundation Hospitality Suite, a place for fam ily foundation trustees to meet
and get to know each other, purchase publications of particular interest to philanthropic
families, or simply relax for a few moments, will be open during the retreat and the
annual conference. [ encourage all board members to come by for a visit!

The Familv Philanthropist
The Summer 2000 issue ofCMF's biannual newsletter for philanthropic famil ies featured
an excerpt from Common Concerns: Current Issues Affecting Family Foundations, by
Virginia Esposito, president of the National Center for Family Philanthropy, a short quiz
to help famiJy foundation board members do a self-assessment with regard to fiduciary
responsibilities, and an article on CMF' s first Family Philanthropy Field Trip to San
Francisco in May, 2000.

Philanthropy, Hard to Say, Fun to Do: A Guidebook for a New Generation of
Philanthropists
Philanthropy. Hard to Say, Fun to Do: A Guidebookfor a New Generation of
Philanthropists will be introduced at the Family Foundation Retreat by Dr. Kathryn
Agard, Director of CMF's K-12 Education &amp; Philanthropy Project. Currently under
development, U1is book will provide tools and reference suggestions to help parents and
grandparents transfer their commitment to service and passion for philaniliropy to U1e
youth of the next generation in their fan1ily foundation.

Familv Foundation Management Audil
We are very pleased to report that 63 family foundations completed the management
audit survey. This wonderful response rate has provided excellent data for Family
Foundation Management Audit 2000, an update of the 1993 publication to help families
with foundations or those thinking of establishing foundations. The new audit will be
available at this year' s annual conference.

Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures
2000 S ummary Report to the Council of Michigan Foundations
Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV) is pleased to present the following
summary of accomplishments. The primary activities ofMCFV have focused on
adoption of standards and implementation oftbe products ofthe Venture Products Fund.
I.

Standards for Michigan community foundations participating in collaborative
activities have been adopted by the Board and disseminated to the field.

2.

As of September 10, 2000, 39 community foundations have met standards and
within a year nearly all are expected to meet standards.

3.

The local identity system developed by Williams Marketing Services Inc.,
consultants to the Venture Products Fund, is now being disseminated to those
commuruty foundations meeting standards. Attached is an example from the
Battle Creek Community Foundation- the first community foundation to meet
standards of how the local identity system using the words "community
foundation" can be used.

4.

The power point presentation on "What is a community foundation?" that can be
customized by local community foundations with their own name, logo, and
donor stories has been made available outside of Michigan for $50. Produced as a
Phase 1 product of the Venture Products Fun&lt;L the presentation has been
purchased by more than 200 community foundations outside of Michigan.

5.

The Building Foundation Series was developed by Williams Marketing Services
Inc. , to train local community foundation staff and trustees on how to implement
an advisors campaign in their community. The monthly series is now being
packaged as a Marketing Institute to be offered outside of Michigan by the
Community Foundation Institute of the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana
University under a license agreement with MCFV.

6.

Discussions have been initiated with the Council on Foundations Community
Foundations Leadership Team about making the Venture Products Fund part of a
new Marketing Action Team. As noted above there is great interest from outside
of Michigan about the research and product development work being undertaken
by the Michigan community foundations participating in the Venture Products
Fund ofMCFV.

7.

The first statewide campaign by community foundations focused on advisors
(financial planners, lawyers, accountants, etc.) will be from October through
March 2001 in targeted professional publications. We look forward to sharing
examples of the ads at the Board Meeting.

About the Michigan Venture Products Fund

Introduction
The Venture Products Fund (VPF) is a Council of Michigan Foundations initiative created to
support the growth of Michigan Community Foundations. VPF tools are developed to help
Community Foundations enhance their success in building relationships with three primary
audiences:

Existing donors
Prospective donors
Professional advisors- including estate planners, attorneys, CPAs, and fl!lancial agents
A Dynamic Environment
Community Foundations are part of the rapidly growing - and changing - field of organized
philanthropy. A series of social, economic, legal, and technological trends have led to the entry
of new players and the emergence of innovative new products in our field.
From the use of Charitable Debit Cards in the United Kingdom, to the enormous growth of
Fidelity's Charitable Gift Fund here 1n the United States, to the start up of dozens of on-line,
charitable giving services, the face of philanthropy is changmg dramatically. It's anything but
' business as usual."
The challenges created by a shifting environment are matched by the unprecedented levels of
opportunity provided us through a huge intergenerational transfer of wealth and steady
economic growth. Taken together, these challenges and opportunities have caused
Community Foundations to re-examine our role in today's market, and to explore ways to
enhance our position and relationship with potential donors.
Throughout the Community Foundation field in the United States, there is concern over the
relative lack of awareness of who we are and what we deliver. There is also a growing desire
to more effectively promote and communicate our value to our primary audiences.

The Michigan Experience
In response to its Community Foundation members, the Council of Michigan Foundations
(CMF) has undertaken research and development activity aimed at addressing these issues.
Supported by grants from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the C S. Mott Foundation, an effon
is underway to help Michigan's Community Foundations develop and market a "brand" identity
and packaged products that would help ensure our continued growth and impact in the
communities we serve.

Started in 1995 as the Branding Project, it is now known as the Venture Products Fund (VPF).
During 1999, several teams were formed - with membership drawn from the ranks of
Community Foundation CEOs, trustees, and staff. Each team was given a particular focus:

Communications team - developing and ma!Xeting our message
Product team - exploring product packaging and new product opportunities
Advisor team - creating messages and products targeted to professional advisors
For the past eighteen months, the VPF teams have been collecting and assessing research,
developing new communications and product tools, implementing a "Building Community
Foundations" training and capacity development program, and preparing a statewide
promotional campaign targeting professional advisors, beginning Fall 2000.

Marketing, Branding, and Standards
The opportunities and issues uncovered in pursuing this initiative have caused us to explore
fundamental questions with long-term implications for Michigan Community Foundations.
If our field wants to build a stronger market presence, we must build a more unified brand,
which in tum requires us to offer products and services that meet certain standards of quality.
Michigan Community Foundations are currently participating in a statewide dialogue and
preparing to make significant business decisions related to changing their local identities and
adopting standards of performance. This process is critical to our ability to move forward as a
stateWide field.
June 2 Presentation
In our June 2 meeting, Bob Tobin of Williams Marketing Services (the firm hired to support the
Michigan VPF initiative) will overview the Michigan experience- with a focus on new tools and
brand identity.

NEWVP!

I am delighted to share that Kathy Humphrey-Vaughn has accepted the position of Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Council of Michigan Foundations, effective
July 5. 2000. She will be spending several days at the office in June. and !look forward
to having you meet her at the Board Meeting. I have included her resun1e and the job
description I developed for the position with this Report. Kathy has the energy,
enthusiasm, and management experience we have been looking for, and she is a resident
of Grand Haven. I am confident that she is a great addition to our team at CMF!
CMF has retained three consultants for short-term assignments. Pat Solomon, formerly
coordinator ofthe African American Legacy Project of the Community Foundation for
Southeastern Michigan. will be working on the New Ventures Project with the Black
Accountant Chapters and Black Bar Associations in Lansing, Flint. and Grand Rapids.
Linda McFadden is now completing a six -week project to document the extent of yout.has-grantmakers programs in the country. Jim Richmond is working on ::1 website project
related to the same issue. These last two projects are being done at the request of the
White House Millennium Council. [n addition. we have hired two Mawby interns for the
summer- Jennifer Ziesler and Sera Braginton. Jenny is a former Y ACer from the
Petoskey-Harbor Springs Community Foundation, and Sera has helped us with temporary
staffi ng needs in the past. Their primary responsibility will be to coordinate logistics for
the Adventure Tours Leadership Program.

II.

Discussion of Strategic Pla nning

Bob Tobin. Principal of Williams Marketing Services, of Grand Rapids. will be providing
the Board with an update on the Community Foundations Venture Products Fund (VPF)
as pan of our agenda. In addition. Bob will be bringing a proposal on how he could assist
CMF in undertaking a Strategic Planning process that would begin this summer and
hopefully conclude by next February's Board Meeting. I have been pleased with the
performance of Mr. Tobin and his colleagues in the VPF Contract. and look forward to
discussing his proposal for a Strategic Planning process.

Ranny Riecker, Chair, and Board of T rustees

From:

Rob Collier, President

Re:

Payout Study

I am excited to report on the tremendous reception of the Private Foundation Payout Study.
The study, entitled Sustainable Pavout for Foundations, was released in an exclusive
interview with Kent Allen of The Washington Post on April 27. Since that time the Study
has also been covered by Philanthropy News Digest, The Philanthropy Update, Philanthropy
Information Retrieval Project and The Chronicle ofPhilamhropy. Additional stories on the
study ~e expected in Business Week and Foundation Endowments &amp; Trusts Newslener.
The snidy, which bas been highly anticipated, was released to the public at the Council on
Foundations Annual Conference. in Los Angles on May 2. Bruce Myers. lead consultant
from Cambridge Associates. Inc .. participated in a well-attended panel research discussion.
and more than 400 copies of the study were distributed. We expect to have less than 200
copies of the 2,000 produced remaining by the end of this month. In addition, we have also
had 1,100 copies of the study downloaded from our website (www.cmif.org) in the last three
weeks.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sustainable real (inflation-adjusted) level of
payout for private foundations. in light of the actual experience of a sample of private
foundations with diversified portfolios located in the State of Michigan. The data from the
actual investment returns of our sample for the period 1973-97 do not support a payout rate
higher than 5%. While this issue will continue to be debated. we feel this is an important
addition to the research being conducted on the issue of the sustainable level of payout for
private foundations.
Our thanks to Bob Swaney, Dottie Johnson, Bruce Myers. and Dave Lindberg for their
leadership and energy in bringing this study to completion. We look forward to having
Dottie and Bruce with us at the Board Meeting to discuss the study- a copy of which you
will find in the front pocket of this Board packet.

Payout Study
May 23,2000
Page Two

The following resolution is proposed for discussion and action. It mirrors a resolution passed
by the Council on Foundations Board ofTrustees.

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approves the following resolution
regarding the private foundation payout requirement:

The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) supports the Federal legal requirement
that private foundations must incur a minimum level of charitable expenditures each

year.
CMF encourages private foundations to review periodically their spending policies in
light of economic conditions, long-tenn priorities. and current needs. We support
those private fotmdations that choose to spend more than the minimum required. that
choose to spend all of their endowment assets over time. or that choose to preserve
their endowments in perpetuity.

CvfF c;upports the currem fi\'e percent requirement. and feels this rule strikes an
appropriate balance between requiring a reasonable, annual level of charitable
expenditure. and preserving the option to maintain the real value of permanent
endowment.

Slate of Officers for 2000-20001

It is that time of year when the Nominating Committee is asked to nominate a slate of CMF officers
for a one-year term beginning June 2000. It is our recommendation that we continue with the current
officers, with the one change being that of Lynn Feldhouse replacing Kate Wolters as Vice ChairCorporate. Kate's fmal three-year term as a Trustee ends in the fall. You will recall that the Board
approved a resolution in February naming Diana Sieger, Vice Chair-Community Foundations.
replacing Jack Hopkins. The following resolution is therefore proposed.
RESOLVED that the foUowing individuals be elected to the offices as specified for a one year term
effective immediately.

2. Vaca ncies

As the attached Board list indicates, we have three "graduating" trustees this year: Kate Wolters.
Peter Thurber. and Jim Jenkins. In addition. you need to know that Jim has moved to Moline.
Illinois. to join Deere &amp; Company. and we wish him well. The Nominating Comminee will meet
this summer to develop a slate of candidates to submit to the members this fall for election at the
Annual Conference.
We will all miss Bill Beckham and the important role he would have played as a Trustee of CMF.
We look forward to your recommendations of individuals whom the Committee should consider in
recommending a replacement for Bill. This vacancy can be filled directly by the Board without
taking it to the members. We look forward to having the Board back to full strength for our October
Meeting.

Memo to:

CMF Board ofTrustees

From:

Peter P. Thurber

Re:

CMF 3-31-00 Investment Report

Page 13

Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the March 31, 2000 Investment
Report.
The enclosed investment report has been broken down into three sections.
Investment Performance Report
The bench mark is based on the targeted asset allocation formula listed below.
S&amp;P 500
S&amp;P 400
S&amp;P 600
International
Short Bond
Intermediate Bond
Cash

40%
10%
6%
14%
15%
IS%
0%

Since the equity portion of the permanent funds is invested in index funds, the variances
from the bench marks are primarily due to investment management fees. and the variance
in the asset allocation mix from the target established by the Investment Committee.
The KYIP Fund's variances. from the one and three-year bench mark. are due to the
periodic cash payments from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation. which are invested over a
twelve-month period on the initial payment and then a three month period on subsequent
payments. In 1999-00. $3.++ 1.000 was received from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation.
Asset Allocation Report
Cash equivalents include receivables or payables to other funds. Since aU expenditures
from the permanent funds are paid out of the CMF checking account. a payable is
automatically generated on the permanent funds books. Periodically. cash is then
transferred to reimburse CMF for the checks cut, with interest being calculated monthly
on the outStanding balance due other funds.

The Investment Committee has revised the investment policy, so that initial funds
received into a permanent fund, such as the Dorothy A. Johnson Educational Fund, are
being invested over a six-month period. The Johnson Educational Fund will be fully
invested by June 30th_
Investment Performance Comparison Report
One of the bench marks the Investment Committee has been tracking is the Cambridge
Associates, Inc. pool of colleges. universities, and foundations. Since the release of this
quarterly report typically lags the end of our quarter, by two to three months, the latest
comparative numbers available are December 31, 1999.
Prior to December 31, 1999. the CMF permanent funds· returns have met or exceeded the
Cambridge Associates, Inc. pool's one-year performance. In analyzing the current
numbers, the committee noted that for the quarter ending December 31. 1998, the CMF
permanent funds exceeded the Cambridge pool by approximately 3.8%. With this quarter
dropping off, the latest one-year numbers ofCtvlF's permanent funds" investment returns.
have started to fall below the Cambridge pool. Part of the difference in the returns
appears to be in the other investments held by the pooled members.
Starting with the quarter ending March 31, 2000, a three-year return will be available for
comparison purposes with the Cambridge pool. The Investment Committee will continue
to monitor this bench mark and consider other investment alternatives as deemed
appropriate.

Memo to:

Ranny Riecker. Chair, and CMF Board ofTrustees

From:

Libby Maynard. Chair Government Relations
RobertS. Collier, CMF President

Re:

Government Relations Report

We look forward to having David Haynes, of Public Affairs Associates, with us at the
Board Meeting to join in a discussion of the following two issues.
1. CMF's Relationship with State Government

Pannership opportunities with State Government seem to be developing at a new pace.
As David Haynes puts it- "State Department heads have caught on that CMF is a good
partner." He has cautioned me that we need to be careful about being used as well. It is
important to note that during the past five years CMF and its supporting organizations
have had contractual relationships with the Department of Community Health for the
Michigan AIDS Fund, and with the Michigan Community Service Commission for
Michigan CARES. and now America's Promise. All contracts are reviewed with CMF's
legal counsel.
We have recently completed a contract with the Department of Career Development. for
the tobacco settlement interest income, and have received the first $2.2 million payment
Doug Howard, Family Independence Agency Director, wants to direct $5 million in
surplus TANF funds to CMF. for a $10 million pooled-fund to deal with Individual
Development Accounts for low-income working families. MSHDA would like to direct
$500,000 through CMF for 14 community foundations to partner with local MSHDA
Committees of Concern. in serving emergency housing needs.
These initiatives are being discussed with CMF members and are being pursued in
response to their requests and suppon. The Charles Stewan Mort Foundation has
approved a one million dollar grant to CMF for the Michigan IDA Partnership with FlA.
and the community foundation directors indicated that they would like to pursue the
partnership with MSHDA's local committees. Based on these steps, the following
resolution is presented for discussion and action. There will be $250.000 from the
anticipated State funds available to help CMF administer the IDA Partnership. The
MSHDA Project will be a direct pass-through.

RESOLVED that the President is authorized to enter into a four-year contract with the
Michigan Family Independence Agency for the Nlichigan IDA Partnership, as part of a
five-year commitment to administering a pooled fund of up to $ 10 million. and a oneyear contract with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority for an Emergency
Housing Services Initiative.

Government Relations Report
May23, 2000

Now. Mr. Haynes feels, and we concur, that a Board policy is needed to provide direction
to staff in responding to future requests. The following resolution is proposed as a draft
for discussion and action.

RESOLVED, that CMF respond to opportunities to partner with State Government when
the following criteria are in place:
•
•
•

Individual and/or organized philanthropy at the locaVregionallevel shall be increased
CMF members request and support the proposed partnership
The work of the nonprofit sector at the local/regional!state level is strengthened

1. Strengthening the CMF State Legislative Network
As we discussed at the February Board Meeting. there is a need because of term-limits, to
increase our efforts in educating state legislators and their staff about the work and role of
philanthropy in Michigan. While we need to develop relationships at the local level.
David.Haynes is proposing that CMF undertake the following additional activities with
support from his firm.
A.

Conduct a series of regional lunch meetings in Lansing in which PAA
would invite a group of key legislators from an area. such as Midland.
Saginaw and Bay City, or Kalamazoo and Banle Creek. to meet with a
group of CMF members from their region.

B.

Expand the biennial legislative briefing to an annual series of three or four
educational training sessions for legislative staff (staning -...-.ith the staff of
new members).

C.

Work with community foundations to strengthen the quick response
system in which they generate letters from Trustees and supporters in a
hurry. He feels that this is important because the tax credit cannot be
taken for granted and may be at risk in future years.

2. State &amp; Federal Legislation
The Bill allowing school systems to transfer bequests to community foundations has been
approved by the House. and will hopefully be approved by the Senate before we meet.
The Community Foundation Definition Bill has been approved by the House -...-..ith
changes and an amendment. It is going back to the Senate for further consideration of the
amendment. Despite strong support from both parties in Congress and excellent support
fro m the Michigan delegation. no action is expected on the IRA Rollover Bill or
Charitable Non-itemizer Bill in this session.

Memo to:

Board ofTrustees

From:

Susan Howbert. Program Director for Southeast Michigan

Subject:

Detroit Office and Southeast Michigan Program

I am happy to report that the work of the Detroit office has been growing by leaps and
bounds, and I am pleased to highlight the following activities:
Citv Connect Detroit
City Connect Detroit is a collaboration of fo urteen grantmakers, city officials. and
technical assistance providers. that continue its planning work to develop a program that
will improve relationships between sectors, increase capacity of local organizations and
city departments. and attract new grant dollars to the region.
In November 1999, the survey research firm EPIC/MRA administered a series offocus
groups of the key constituents in order to reaffirm the initiative's efforts. The
predominant theme heard throughout the focus groups was that relationship-building and
trust are key to any future activities. As a result. the City Connect Detroit Advisory
Committee hosted a ·Bacon and Eggs·· Breakfast Meeting at the University of Detroit
Mercy Ward Conference Center. On May 8, 2000, more than 100 representatives from
city departments, nonprofits, and funders met over breakfast and had a productive
discussion on the best ways to improve relationships between the sectors. These
suggestions will be considered in the development of rhe final proposal.
Louise Motoligin, Collaborative Management Consultants, has been retained as City
Connect's consultant/facilitator. She will be presenting a draft proposal to the Advisory
Committee on June 6, 2000.
Conversations Roundtable Workshops
Three roundtable workshops. "Conversations··. held in southeast Michigan on March 28.
April 25, and May 25. were very well received. The series was developed to provide an
opportunity for funders and nonprofits to come together and converse informally about
issues of common concern. A total of 300 people participated in the workshops that took
place in Wayne. Macomb. and Oakland counties. Members of the planning committee
included: Harriet Cooper. The Jewish Fund; Richard DunJap, The Kresge Foundation;
Carlotta Mills. The Kresge Foundation; Miguel Satut. theW. K. Kellogg Foundation:
Elizabeth Stieg, The Carls Foundation; and John Ziraldo. The Skillman Foundation.

African American Philanthropy EXPO
The African American Legacy Program of the Community Foundation for Southeastern
Michigan and CMF hosted a Philanthropy Expo on May 15, 2000 at Focus:HOPE.
Nearly 90 African American donors and individuals representing nonprofits enjoyed the
opportunity to learn more about philanthropy. The roundtable format allowed
participants to participate in three different conversations on such topics as "Making a
Major Gift''. "A Woman's View of Philanthropy··, "Estate Planning for lndividuals'·, and
"Religious Giving: Thoughts &amp; Trends".
Women in Philanthropy Book Club
The Women in Philanthropy Book Club recently celebrated its first anniversary. Over
the past year, women from private, corporate, and community foundations have met eight
times at various restaurants located in southeast Michigan. to discuss the selected book of
the month. In addition to discovering new books and restaurants, the club gives women
from different types of foundations an opportunity to meet and network.

RE:

CMF &amp; Supporting Organizations March 31, 2000 and 1999 Audit Report

Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees accept the March
31,2000 and 1999 Audit Report as recommended by the C MF Audit &amp; Finance
Committee.
On May 18, 2000, the CMF Audit &amp; Finance Committee met tO review and approve the March
31, 2000 &amp; 1999, PricewaterhouseCoopers Combined financial Statements for CMF, MCFV.
and the Michigan AlDS fund.
A copy of the Audit Report is contained in the front pocket of this book. Below are some brief
highlights from the enclosed Audit Report.

Combined Balance Sheet

$5.580.000 of the decrease from the prior year is due to Challenge Grants paid by MCFV in
1999-00. $1,93 7.000 of the decrease is due to 1999-00 programming expenditures for MCFV.
Contributions to the Dorothy A. Johnson Educational Fund increased cash by $982.000.
Investments
$3..1-41 ,000 of the increase from the prior year is due to additional funds received from Kellogg
for the KY[P Fund. The remaining increase is due to the market gains on the endoY.ment funds
and completing the investment rebalancing (moving funds from cash to equities).
Accounts Pavable
The increase from the prior year is due to professional fees due on the Enhanced Technical
Assistance and Venrure Products projects for MCFV.
Accrued Grants Pavable
The decrease from the prior year is due to the payments that were made lO community
foundations during 1999-00 for lhe final round of challenge grants.

Net Assets
$982,000 of the increase from the prior year is due to contributions received for the Dorothy A.
Johnson Educational Fund. The remaining in crease is due primarily to the investment earnings
on the endowment funds.

Combined Statement of Activities &amp; Changes in Net Assets

Grants and Other Contributions
Increased primarily due to the $2,200,000 Tobacco Settlement Grant from the State ofMichigan.

Net Unrealized and Realized Gains
The in~rease from the prior year is due to the endowed funds becoming fully invested in late
1998-99, and the investment earnings on those funds for 1999-00.

The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in Challenge Grants paid out in 1999-00
as this portion of the MCFV project winds down.
Fundraising
In keeping with SOP 98-2, which became effective with this year·s audit report, a new line item
for fundraising costs has been added. $148,0 00 of this category represents fund raising costs for
the Michigan AIDS Fund.
