Swaney, Jr., Chair, CMF Investment Committee RE: September 30, 1999 Investment Report Page 12 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the September 30, 1999 Investment Report. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council of Michigan Foundations and supporting organizations' permanent funds, for the period ended September 30, 1999. The bench mark rates of return are based on the targeted asset allocation using the previous 12 and 24 months returns for the various indices listed at the end of this report. On the attached you will find the investment performance and asset allocation reports for the period ending September 30, 1999. An additional schedule has been provided as of June 30, 1999, that compares the one year actual returns to a quarterly report from Cambridge and Associates, Inc. entitled Comparative Asset Allocation and Total Return. This report summarizes the returns for endowments of colleges and universities, independent schools, museums and libraries, foundations, medical endowments, and other institutions. The June 30, 1999, report was the latest report available from Cambridge. On the September 30, 1999, Investment Performance Report you will note that the William Allen Fund two year return exceeded the other endowment funds by approximately 1%. This variance can be explained by the fact that during the first six months of 1998 the Allen Fund was reallocating the equities portion ofthe portfolio from actively managed to index funds.

Mawby Robert S. Collier Re: Increasing Philanthropy Efforts Page 15 The purpose of this memorandum is to share information on two new efforts that contribute to our goal to Increase Philanthropy in Michigan. Background: In 1984 the CMF Board formally changed CMF's mission to include the word "increase." It was logical to expand the mission "to enhance, to improve, and to increase philanthropy in the state of Michigan," as CMF has had a long history of working with individuals, foundations and corporations to accomplish their charitable goals. Russell G. Mawby chairs the Increasing Philanthropy Committee. A summary of CMF increasing philanthropy activities includes: • • • • • • • • • Michigan Community Foundation's Youth Project (To date has resulted in creation and expansion of 56 community foundations and 39 affiliate funds with assets in excess of $1 billion) Increase in number of family foundations (For example, between 1996-1998,257 family foundations were created.) Expansion and increase in number of corporate foundations and corporate giving programs; not a large number, but CMF has seen an increase in requests for service, particularly from mid-size corporations Work with Advisors to the Wealthy (Participated with The Philanthropic Initiative in interviewing 70 Michigan advisors; CMF committee of ten advisors formed) Publications (CMF has numerous publications supporting this effort. Revised versions of "So You Want to Give-Options for Giving," and "The Basics of an Organized Corporate Giving Program," will be distributed at the board meeting) Education Programs Technical Assistance K-12 Education & Philanthropy Project Michigan AIDS Fund �16 I. Project for New Ventures in Philanthropy As you know the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers operates a special regranting initiative called New Ventures in Philanthropy that Dottie Johnson chairs. While CMF did not apply for a grant from New Ventures in the initiative's first year, we have applied for a grant in this second year. The purpose of the $90,000 two-year Project, is to work with three minority professional advisor associations: the Lansing and Flint Chapters of the National Association of Black Accountants, the Lansing Black Lawyers Association, and the Hispanic Bar Association of Michigan, in providing their members with the tools to help their clients with organized charitable giving options. The eight primary activities of the Project can be summarized as follows: 1. To conduct a pre and post survey of the members of the targeted partners on the promotion of philanthropy with their clients 2. To prepare and distribute 250 copies of a culturally-sensitive packet for Advisors on Tools for Giving 3. To develop 20 stories on Hispanic and African American donors and distribute 250 discs to advisors 4. To present a session on philanthropy at regular meetings of each of the partner organizations 5. To hold three regional meetings annually on philanthropy with the membership of the coalition partners in the cities of Flint, Lansing and Grand Rapids. Each day-long meeting shall have an half-day agenda designed for accountants, and an half-day agenda designed for lawyers 6. To provide 100 copies of Establishing a Charitable Foundation to the partner organizations 7. To develop and test two ads for use in advisor publications used by the members of the partner organizations 8. To assist two of the partners in placing information on the promotion of philanthropy and organized grantmaking on their web sites · Additional collaborating partners with CMF will be the African-American Legacy Project of the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, the community foundations in Flint, Lansing, and Grand Rapids, and the local chapters of the National Society of Fund Raising Executives (NSFRE). The Project is also able to build on the work for advisors that Williams Marketing Services is doing for the Community Foundation Venture Products Fund. If funding is not received for the Project, CMF will still proceed with activity four with each of the three minority professional associations, so that new relationships to promote philanthropy continue to be made. �17 II. Study on Michigan Giving Professor Mark Wilson, Director of the Nonprofit Michigan Project of the Institute for Social Research at Michigan State University, has launched the 1999 Survey ofMichigan Philanthropy with support form CMF's Mawby Fund and the Aspen Institute's Michigan Nonprofit Research Fund. The Survey will interview 1,500 residents across the state making it possible to identify charitable giving patterns in the 10 most populous counties and the City of Detroit. The Survey of Philanthropy will focus on two major elements of giving by Michigan residents: Giving Behavior • Contributions of money to nonprofit and community organizations • Contributions through wills and bequests • Time spent volunteering • Sources of giving values Caring, Confidence and trust • Importance of living in a caring community • Confidence in nonprofit and community organizations • Role of nonprofit and religious organizations in daily life Results of the Survey will be available for distribution in spring 2000.

Maynard David B. Kennedy Re: Government Relations Committee Report State Legislation Senate Bill 796, to strengthen the definition of a community foundation and sponsored by Senator Schuette, has passed the Senate and has been sent to the House, where it is anticipated that action will be taken by the end of the year. Mariam Noland and Dottie Johnson met with House Taxation Chair, Representative Nancy Cassis this summer, and in recent days, Rob Collier has testified before the Senate Taxation Committee. While good news that the bill has passed the Senate, we expect even more questions from the House. The current legislation was proposed and approved by the Community Foundation Committee, chaired by Jack Hopkins. House Bill4959, sponsored by Representative Terry Geiger, to allow school systems to transfer gifts to community foundations, has been approved by the House Education Committee with supporting testimony be Geiger and Rob Collier. Approval by the House is expected shortly. Rob Collier will join Representative Geiger in testifying before the Senate Education Committee, chaired by Senator Bennett, in early December. Federal Legislation As you know, the 1999 tax bill, which included legislation pertaining to gifting of IRA's to charitable organizations for individuals over 72 years of age, was vetoed by the President. It is expected that this issue and others will be addressed early in 2000. CMF will work with COF and the other regional associations of grantmakers, to get other issues noted on the CMF Legislative Goal Statement included. Hearings on H.R. 887, a bill to require corporations to be "more accountable" to shareholders, are to be held Friday, October 29, 1999, in the Committee on Commerce. Under the terms of the bill this accountability would come in two forms: • First, corporations would be required to disclose in the annual proxy, any contributions (above a threshold amount to be determined by the SEC) made to a nonprofit organization of which a corporate director (or his/her spouse) was also a director of the beneficiary nonprofit organization. • Second, corporations would disclose to their shareholders, in a format to be determined by the SEC, the total value of contributions made to nonprofit organizations in the previous fiscal year, and those individual contributions which exceed a threshold amount (also to be determined by the SEC). �21 Three Michigan Congressman are members of the Commerce Committee: Congressmen Dingell, Stupak, and Upton. COF General Counsel, John Edie, has asked the Council of Michigan Foundations to contact each of them to gain further insight on the issue. Note: Maureen H. Smith, Vice President, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, is a member of the COF Legislation & Regulation Committee. Private Foundation Payout Study Work continues on the CMF -sponsored payout study, being undertaken by Cambridge & Associates. You will recall, that the study to be completed in the next three months, will look at the ACTUAL investment performance of a group of private foundations for thirty years, beginning in 1968, as well as to include historical information and some hypothetical portfolios. Two advisors have been added to the project to provide technical expertise .... Dr. Charles T. Clotfelter, Professor of Economics, Duke University, and Dr. Saul H. Hymans, Professor of Economics & Statistics, University of Michigan. At this stage, more than 50 private foundations are included in the study, primarily from Michigan. Robert E. Swaney, Vice President, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, chairs the Technical Sub-Committee. Thanks go to him and Paul Lawler, Mike Sweeney, Ed Hunia, Nick Gabriel, and others for their hard work on the project. In recent weeks, two other studies have been published by the National Network of Grantmakers and the Committee on Responsive Philanthropy. A hypothetical study is expected to be published by the Council on Foundations, early in 2000. Once the CMF data has been reviewed by the Technical Sub-Committee, a meeting of the Advisory Committee, chaired by Ranny Riecker, will be held. CMF Visits Capitol Hill with RAGS on the Hill We hope you will reserve February 1 and 2, 2000, when CMF will once again visit the Michigan delegation in Washington, D. C., to discuss issues important to philanthropy, in addition to explaining to the legislators the work of your organization. This will be the sixth annual CMF visit, which includes an evening dinner Tuesday, February 1, 2000, (this year hosted by S. Martin Taylor, Vice President-Corporate & Public Affairs, The Detroit Edison Company), as well as the University of Michigan Capitol Hill Breakfast, the RAGS/COF luncheon, and other activities. As before, accommodations have been reserved at the Monarch Hotel (previously the ANA Hotel), with dinner to be held at the 1789 Restaurant. We are in hopes that several CMF Members and Board of Trustee Members will join us. CMF will join our colleagues from throughout the country, under the sponsorship of the Forum of Regional Associations and COF.

Cummings, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Re: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following family philanthropy activities: Recognition of Ann Irish's service as Committee Chair As I begin my service as Chair of the Family Philanthropy Committee, I would like to recognize the stellar leadership of my predecessor, Ann Irish, President, Elizabeth E. Kennedy Fund. Over the past four years, Ann skillfully guided and thoughtfully developed CMF's family philanthropy program. Her enormous experience with and understanding of family foundations helped to create an excellent program for donors, potential donors, and their families, staff, and advisors. Thank you, Ann, for your enormous contribution to increasing and improving family philanthropy in Michigan. The Family Philanthropist The Fall 1999 issue of CMF' s biannual newsletter for philanthropic families was mailed in October. It features an excerpt from Grantmaking With A Compass: The Challenges of Geography, a monograph recently published by the National Center for Family Philanthropy, and an interview with Dottie Johnson with regard to her work with Michigan's philanthropic families over the past 25 years. Annual Conference The Annual Conference is featuring six special family philanthropy sessions: • "Generations & Geography: Impact on Family Foundations", a special, two-hour preconference, interactive workshop on a topic that can affect all sizes of family foundations, with Ginny Esposito, President, National Center of Family Philanthropy; • "Family Foundation Peer Luncheon" sponsored by the Drake-Quinn Family Charitable Foundation; • "Conversation with Carmel Borders". Carmel will share what she and her husband are doing with their Tapestry Foundation as a model of the philanthropic style of today's new donors; • "Which Comes First: You or the Money? Are You Perceived as the Community Wallet?" A panel of grantmakers will discuss lessons they have learned while juggling community volunteer commitments with foundation trustee responsibilities; �19 • • "White Privilege: Walking in Someone Else's Shoes", an interactive session to allow participants to better discern their own assumptions, prejudices and misunderstandings; and, "What's On Your Mind: A Family Foundation Peer Exchange", an opportunity for family trustees to discuss family foundation issues with their peers and to offer their ideas with regard to CMF family philanthropy programming. A new service to be instituted at this year's conference is the Family Foundation Hospitality Suite-a place for family foundation trustees to meet and get to know each other, discuss topics of particular interest to philanthropic families or simply relax for a few moments. All Board members are encouraged to come by for a visit! Family Foundation Luncheons and Discussions Building on the success of the two family foundation luncheons held in Southeast Michigan last spring, similar events in other regions of the State are being planned for spring and summer 2000. We are delighted that The Alden and Vada Dow Fund has offered to host a luncheon on Friday, May 19, 2000 at the Alden Dow Home & Studio for families from Midland, Bay City and Saginaw. Family Foundation Membership Family foundations continue to be the largest membership group for CMF with 23 new members in the first six months ofthe 1999-2000 fiscal year, bringing the total to 189. Parfet's to Host Southwest Michigan Donors Ann and Don Parfet have agreed to host an evening in their home, with potential donors to explore charitable options. To be held early in 2000, this event will be similar to the evening in Detroit, hosted by Julie and Peter Cummings.

We are most thankful for the support of this program from the Hudson-Webber Foundation, the McGregor Fund and the Skillman Foundation. The establishment of a CMF-Detroit program has resulted in expanded technical assistance, enhanced programming and increased membership in southeast Michigan. Over the past year, the following different kinds of events and activities have occurred: • New collaborative established City Connect Detroit, a new Detroit collaboration initiated by The Skillman Foundation, was established. The members of the collaborative include Accounting Aid Society, Bank One, City ofDetroit, Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, Council of Michigan Foundations, Detroit Edison Foundation, Detroit Youth Foundation, Hudson-Webber Foundation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Kresge Foundation, McGregor Fund, Michigan Nonprofit Association, The Skillman Foundation, and United Way Community Services. This group of fourteen grantmakers, city officials, and technical assistance providers have agreed to work together to increase the capacity of southeast Michigan nonprofits and to bring more federal and national foundation dollars to Detroit. CMF has provided staff support since the inception of the idea of the City Connect collaboration in December 1998, and has been asked by the members of the collaborative to manage the project during its planning year beginning October 1, 1999. • Programs for advisors to the wealthy Two workshops for advisors to the wealthy, co-sponsored with the Jewish Federation ofMetropolitan Detroit, were held. The workshops, "The Psychology of Wealth Transfer in Estate Planning" with Dr. Lee Hausner and "Current Issues in Charitable Giving and Estate Planning" with Lawrence Katzenstein, Esq. were well-received by over 200 southeast Michigan lawyers, accountants, investment managers and bankers. �56 • Funder/nonprofit workshop series "Conversations-Strengthening Relationships between Funders and Nonprofits in Southeast Michigan", a series of three roundtable workshops, which will be offered in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties during the spring of2000, have been planned. The purpose of the workshops is to build relationships between grantmakers and grantseekers, and to improve the grantmaking process. • Technical Assistance expanded Technical assistance is more accessible to southeast Michigan organizations. Assistance has been provided to CMF members, new philanthropic programs and grantseeking organizations, such as The Isiah Thomas Foundation, Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation, Dense International America, Lear Corporation, Pepsi Cola Company, Castaing Family Foundation, Shallal Family Foundation, The Holley Foundation, American Red Cross of Southeastern Michigan and Alternatives for Girls. • Increased membership in CMF by SE Michigan foundations More than twenty new southeast Michigan members have joined CMF, many as a result of the technical assistance they received as described above. • Enhanced programming for grantmakers and grantseekers Thirty southeast Michigan grantmakers and grantseekers enjoyed the satellite broadcast of The White House Conference on Philanthropy: Gifts to the Future on October 22 at Eastern Michigan University Foundation's Eagle Crest Conference Resort. A Women in Philanthropy Book Club was established to build relationships among women employed in the field of philanthropy in southeast Michigan. • Regular participation in SE Michigan grantmakers' meetings and collaboratives and support of nonprofit events A staffed Detroit office has allowed for regtilar CMF participation in grantmakers' meetings such as the ACE Collaborative, Funders' Collaborative, the Program Officers' Group, and the Regional Detroit Chamber's Business Contributions Council, in addition to the support of numerous nonprofit community events. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rappleye Chair, Audit & Finance Committee Re: CMF & Supporting Organizations' March 31, 1999 Financial Statements Tab 4 Page 22 Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve the March 31, 1999 Financial Report as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. On May 21, 1999 the CMF Audit & Finance Committee met to review and approve the March 31, 1999 internal statements for CMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund. Management is proud to report that the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP), and the Michigan AIDS Fund have all completed another successful year, with excess revenues over expenses exceeding the 1998-99 budgeted surplus. Consolidated Balance Sheet Note A: Cash & Cash Equivalents The relatively high cash balance for MCFYP is due to the short-term nature of the funds required to meet future challenge grant commitments and community foundations' programming needs over the next two years. Note B: Net Assets With the continued strong performance of the U. S. stock market, the endowment funds for CMF and MCFYP have reached a current market value of$7, 111,845. The amount listed as passthrough funds represents the funds that will eventually be forwarded to three KYIP sites located within the State ofMichigan. I:\DLINDBERIBOARDMEnCMF\l999\M060499.doc �23 Consolidated Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets The net surplus for 1998-99 for MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund exceeded budget. Prior to this meeting, the individual boards ofMCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund met and reviewed their March 31, 1999 year-end results in detail. This section of the financial report therefore focuses on the results for the CMF Core Operations. You will also find a consolidated statement for the CMF endowment funds that show the actual surplus for 1998-99 exceeded budget by almost $32,000, with total expenses $9,053 less than budget. Core Operations Statement of Activities Note 1: Conference Income Revenue and expenses for the Annual Conference are over budget, due to the record number of attendees (1,291) at the 1998 conference. Note 2: Publications & Library Services Due to the strong demand for the 11th Edition of the Directory revenue exceeded both budget and the year-end projected amounts. Note 3: Investment Income Investment income for the Core Operations has remained strong due to earnings on funds received for special projects. Note 4: Salaries Salaries for 1998-99 were over budget for the year, due to the wages for the Detroit office position, which are now being charged directly to the CMF Core Operations. Note 5: Publications The variance from budget is due to cost associated with the publication of the Directory. Note 6: Travel Travel remained under budget for the year due to fewer out-of-state trips taken by staff, and a concentrated effort to combine trips for more than one purpose, where possible.

Membership today comprises more than 435 grantmakers throughout the state, and accounts for 90% of the foundation assets in Michigan. The Council members have become a collegial, networking community of family, independent, community and corporate foundations, and corporate giving programs. CMF is very well known and highly respected, not only in Michigan, but throughout the national philanthropic community. The Council president and staff work closely with nonprofit, corporate, government and civic leaders and organizations to both educate and connect the various sectors in pursuit of effective philanthropy. As testament to CMF' s credibility, the Council has been entrusted with key support for various statewide initiatives including the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project, the K-12 Education and Philanthropy Project, and the Michigan AIDS Fund. Primary activities of the Council include technical assistance and member services; education of members and others who relate to philanthropy; and advocacy with respect to issues that impact on philanthropy.

Johnson Re: Progress Report- Private Foundation Payout Study Tab 9 Page 48 At the June, 1998 board meeting, it was determined that CMF would sponsor with participating Members a study on private foundation assets and payout that would focus on actual performance of participating foundations in Michigan. An Advisory Committee, chaired by Ranny Riecker, was named. (See attached list.) Subsequent to the first meeting of the Advisory Committee, a Technical Sub-Committee, chaired by Robert E. Swaney, Jr. was named. (See attached list.) CMF is most appreciative of the volunteer time of all concerned, but particularly the Technical Sub-Committee, and its chair, Bob Swaney, who will be with us at the June 4, 1999 CMF board meeting. The attached grant request summarizes the current status and funding of the project to be undertaken by Cambridge Associates. It is important to note that first, the study has been expanded to include not only the actual performance of participating foundations, but an analysis of payout rates on a general level as well. Cambridge & Associates has historical records, which will make this analysis valuable. Second, it has been determined that it would be advisable to include a few more national funders, in addition to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Cambridge & Associates is preparing a time line for the project with a completion date targeted for early fall, in anticipation of discussing the study at the CMF 27th Annual Conference. It is expected that a letter announcing the project will be sent to CMF Members later this month. CMF staff will be available to help any Member needing assistance on assembling the data for the thirty-year period, 1968-1998. It should be noted that contributions to support the study have been received from the Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Proposals have also been submitted to the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and The Kresge Foundation for consideration. tab9boardbook5-25 �49 Council of Michigan Foundations Private Foundation Payout Study Advisory Board (as of 9/5/98) Chair: Margaret A.

The mailing has so far resulted in nine new members! We are thrilled with this success and will continue targeted mailings to other groups as appropriate. VI. 1998-99 Membership Campaign- Membership Committee and Board As a result qf the campaign, the following joined CMF because of letters, phone calls and meetings. The name of recruiters is noted in parentheses. Free Press Charities, Inc. (Mariam Noland) James & Catherine Haveman Family Fdn.

Individual Contributors At the present time, CMF does not accept individuals as members. The board has discussed the issue from time to time, with direction to staff that if, and when an individual(s) is interested, that the issue again be raised. We are not recommending a change of policy at this time, but wish to inform you that two individuals have indicated to staff that they are interested in obtaining in depth information from CMF about their charitable options. They would like to make a financial contribution to the organization in consideration of the time and resources needed to serve them. As they consider how to proceed, they would also like to attend CMF educational programs. �36 Membership Report May 25, 1999 Page Four Both expect to make a decision on how they wish to proceed with their charitable giving options to encompass two CMF annual conference cycles. Staff has informally discussed a suggested contribution level of$500. It should be noted that part of CMF's mission is to serve interested donors and their advisors without charge. Such assistance is usually in the form of publications, technical assistance by phone, the Annual Conference and specialized meetings and in some cases, personal meetings. In these two cases, the donors are interested in making a contribution to CMF. Staff recommends that we accept the contributions, much as any public charity would accept funds to fulfill their mission. These two cases would provide important information to the Membership Committee and management on the issue of accepting individuals as CMF Members. At the present time, eight Regional Associations of Grant makers accept individuals as members. ljfischennembership99-2000report6-4-99 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby, Chairman, K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project C. David Campbell, Steering Committee Member Julie F. Cummings, Steering Committee Member Dorothy A. Johnson, Steering Committee Member Dr. John W. Porter, Steering Committee Member Re: K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Update Tab 13 Page 60 The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Steering Committee met on May 6, 1999. New Steering Committee members welcomed were: Julie F. Cummings, Max M. and Marjoire S. Fisher Foundation; Susan Wally, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation; Susan Kelly, Hudson's. Plan ofWork The plan of work for 2000-2003 was presented encompassing ten major goals: 1. Continuing development of new lesson plans and teaching materials 2. Professional development for teachers and outreach to new teachers 3. Links to school improvement initiatives 4. Parent involvement, youth group outreach, and congregational programs 5. Work with related systems such as service-learning, and school-to-work 6. Dissemination ofthe teaching of philanthropy in Michigan, nationally, and internationally 7. Public relations and marketing 8. Self-sufficiency for the project in the future 9. Human resources, Steering Committee utilization, and staffing 10. Evaluation: formative, summative, and longitudinal. This plan of work will guide the next stage of development of the project. The plan includes the integration of the lessons in Michigan, introducing the Indiana developed youth organization and congregational components in Michigan, disseminating the lessons in ten states, and laying the groundwork for international dissemination. Lesson Acceptance The first set of 100+ lessons, K-12, have been field-tested by seven teachers (five in Michigan, two in other states). In addition they were given a final review by a committee of the Steering Committee. The lessons were accepted and will be placed on the web-site during the summer of 1999. Summer Residential Institute A summer residential institute is planned for June 20-25, 1999 in order to bring thirty new teachers into the project. Upon successful completion of the institute, these teachers will join the current project teachers to become "teacher-consultants." The teacher- I:\PBITZER\BdbkTabl3May 999 Report. doc �61 consultants will become peer educators for other teachers and they will provide inservice professional development. This is the start ofthe formal dissemination process. 11 Association for Philanthropy Education 11 A new membership organization is proposed that will lay the groundwork for future selfsufficiency for the project. While the final name has not been chosen, the new organization will provide support and a focus for teachers, and other interested parties, who want to stay actively involved in philanthropy education. Second Annual Black Philanthropy Conference The K-12 project was presented at the Black Philanthropy Conference in California and was very positively received. Interest from foundation leaders and educators in California, North Carolina, Washington State, and New York on replicating the project will be pursued. Fund-Raising Update Since the report in November, the following grant/contract support has been received: An anonymous donor $600,000 over three years to support field-testing lessons and three summer residential institutes for teachers The Ford Foundation $200,000 over three years to support Marketing McGregor Fund $160,000 over three years to support development of the parent involvement component Michigan Department of Education $ 63,000 over six months (renewable) to support: A baseline survey of the State ofMichigan related to the status of service-learning Development of the State ofMichigan service-learning web-site Technical assistance to fourteen Learn and Serve Michigan grantee school districts Summer residential institute support. Proposals that are still under consideration are: Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation $75,000 for targeted lessons in economics and philanthropy and a summer institute in Kansas Charles Stewart Mott Foundation $75,000 to begin international dissemination and a high school level textbook Lilly Endowment $6 million for the next cycle (2000-2002) basic operational support, bringing the Indiana elements to Michigan, and Michigan to Indiana. The next Steering Committee meeting is scheduled for September 9, 1999.

Johnson Re: Increasing Philanthropy - Update Tab 14 Page 62 Resolved: Expand Increasing Philanthropy Committee. CMF has had numerous initiatives, member committees and task forces to expedite each activity. It is proposed that staff work with interested board members, Members, and cooperating partners to focus activities and explore new options. Opportunity: As I have reported at other board meetings, the Forum ofRegional Associations is sponsoring the National Initiative to Promote Philanthropy, a project to expand philanthropy at the local level. Launched in 1998, Russ Mawby is a member of the Advisory Board, and I chair the Initiative. The project is in the process of raising $10 million to fund projects supported, not only by RAGS, but community foundations, NSFRE Chapters, United Ways, nonprofit associations, etc. The first round of grants has been completed (the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan African-American project, with CMF's partnership) received funding. CMF purposely did not apply because of the numerous activities we already had underway and my role as Chair of the Initiative. There may be an opportunity to apply for support for one of the numerous projects CMF has undertaken including, the community foundation marketing and positioning project which identifies four categories -- women with hidden wealth, blue collar wealthy, entrepreneurs, advisors, as well as many others. Background: In 1984 the CMF Board formally changed CMF's mission to include the word "increase." It was logical to expand the mission "to enhance, to improve, and to increase philanthropy in the state ofMichigan," as CMF has had a long history of working with individuals, foundations and corporations to accomplish their charitable goals. Russell G. Mawby chairs the Increasing Philanthropy Committee. A summary of CMF increasing philanthropy activities includes: • • • • Michigan Community Foundation's Youth Project. (To date has resulted in creation and expansion of 56 community foundations and 39 affiliate funds with assets in excess of $1 billion). Increase in number of family foundations. (For example, between 1996-1998, 257 family foundations were created). Expansion and increase in number of corporate foundations and corporate giving programs; not a large number, but CMF has seen an increase in requests for service, particularly from mid-size corporations. Work with Advisors to the Wealthy. �63 • • • • • (Participated with The Philanthropic Initiative in interviewing 70 Michigan advisors; CMF committee often advisors formed). Publications. (CMF has numerous publications supporting this effort. Revised versions of"So You Want to Give-Options for Giving," and "The Basics of an Organized Corporate Giving Program," will be distributed at the board meeting). Education Programs. Technical Assistance. K-12 Education & Philanthropy Project. Michigan AIDS Fund. pbitzertabl4bdbk5-22 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Maynard, Co-chair David B. Kennedy, Co-chair Governments Relations Committee Re: Government Relations Committee Report Tab 8 Page 37 CMF Legislative Goal Statement Resolved: CMF Legislative Goal Statement be revised to include the two proposed items, and changes as indicated in bold. The proposed additions and changes are noted in bold on the attached statement. The Committee recommends the addition of two goals, one related to charitable split dollar plans on a national level, and the second on a state level related to distribution of the tobacco settlement. The Committee recommends no action be proposed on the repeal of the estate and gift tax legislation introduced in the last session of Congress. Donor Advised Funds is an issue raised by a Taxation staff member, but at the present time, there is no proposed legislation. Ad Hoc Public Policy Committee Proposed Resolved: CMF establish a Public Policy Committee which would meet when interest was expressed by a group of CMF Members to discuss a certain subject. The subjects would be of programmatic interest, such as devolution and not related to self-defense matters such as tax legislation. The Committee would only meet as interest develops and would not take formal stands on issues or propose such action to the CMF Board. Educational material from the Committee would be shared with the membership as appropriate. It has been suggested that the first two co-chairs of this ad-hoc committee be Kari Schlachtenhaufen, Vice President, The Skillman Foundation, and Miguel Satut, Program Officer, W.K. Kellogg Foundation. State Legislators's Grantsmanship Seminar On Monday, March 22, 1999, CMF sponsored the biennial seminar for legislators and their aides in Lansing. Speaking were Ranny Riecker, Towsley Foundation; Benita Melton, Matt Foundation; Jim McHale, Kellogg Foundation; Patricia Reynolds, Capitol Region Community Foundation; Laura Trudeau, Bank One; and Rob Collier, CMF. Each legislative office received a copy of the new Michigan Foundation Directory at the event, or later in their Lansing office. Participants numbered 90. The evaluations were excellent. �38 Council on Foundations Legislative Network and Seminar More than a dozen CMF Members and CMF are part of the national COF network, now electronically connected throughout the country. COF has agreed to cosponsor with CMF a two-day training program on the media and government with the idea of encouraging additional members to be involved in the legislative process. The event will take place in the Spring of 2000 and will be structured to appeal to advanced and beginning grantmakers in each subject. As a committee member said, "we need to get the next generation as informed and enthused as we are on the issues crucial to foundations, charitable giving and philanthropy." State Legislative Network The Committee reinforced the importance of having as strong a state network as we do a federal network. Toward that end, staff is identifying one or more grantmakers in each Senate and House district who ideally knows the individual and/or would be willing to contact them in the district on issues related to philanthropy. The lists will be completed shortly and contact made with CMF Members over the summer months. Status of Current Legislation CMF contacted each Congressman requesting support ofH.R. 1310 (Charitable Deduction Relief Act) and HR. 1311 (IRA Rollover), as well as asking that members of the CMF Legislative Network do the same. To date, sponsorship is as follows: H.R. 1310: Camp, Ehlers, Kilpatrick H.R. 1311: Camp, Ehlers (A companion Senate bill has just been introduced, and Senators Abraham and Levin have been contacted). H.R. 887: (Gilmour Bill not supported by CMF). No Michigan sponsors, only four number nationally. It is expected that we will be able to report additional cosponsors at the board meeting, June 4, 1999. tab8bdbk5-25 �39 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement June 1999 (Proposed) Philanthropy in America Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 1997, foundations and corporations donated more than $21.6 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 1969 Tax Act, while introducing a number of reforms, also erected a number of major barriers to foundation philanthropy. These include the provisions that serve as disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as provisions that discourage charitable donations to foundations. After more than 30 years of experience, it is also apparent that a number oflnternal Revenue Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive on the grantmaking 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. It must seek support for legislative changes that encourage the role and effectiveness of foundation and corporate philanthropy. That is the purpose of the following Council ofMichigan Foundations' Government Relations Program. Background: CMF Government Relations Program In 1977, the Council ofMichigan Foundations' (CMF) Members directed the Board of Trustees 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. �40 Since then, the Government Relations Committee has surveyed the C:MF 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 following twenty-one goals have been accomplished: NATIONAL • Reduction of mandatory pay-out requirement for private foundations from a proposed 6 3/4% to 5% • Excise Tax on private foundations reduced from 4% to 2% and in some cases 1% • Private foundation .65 limit on grant administrative expenses terminated • Fair regulations on private foundation lobbying have been issued • Full deductibility of gifts to private foundations of publicly-traded stock made permanent • Gain portion of gifts of appreciated property is not subject to the alternative minimum tax reduction • Affidavit process for simplifying private foundations grants to non-U. S. Charities instituted • Private & Community Foundations allowed to ownS-Corporation stock • Protected charitable gift annuities as attractive giving vehicle for donors • No part of premiums paid for D&O liability insurance need to be treated as compensation by directors of any charitable organization • Regulation passed indicating U. S. Foundation grants to nonresident aliens would be taxed depending on the place where the research or study takes place • Community foundations permitted to administer pooled income fund • Due date of first estimated private foundation tax payment on investment income changed to coincide with the due date of the Form 990-PF • Generation-skipping transfer law pertinent to the predeceased parent exclusion, extended for charitable lead and remainder trusts �41 STATE • • • • • • • Repeal of the state inheritance tax Community foundation tax credit for individuals and businesses made permanent with no cap Limitation of the tort liability of volunteers of nonprofit corporations Repeal of the Michigan Intangibles Tax 50 I (c)3 organizations allowed to have an insurable interest in the life of an individual who has given written consent Legislation passed allowing gifts and bequests received by units of local government (cities, villages, counties, public libraries), to be gifted to community foundations Amended the nonprofit corporation act to allow youth ages 16 and 17 to serve on the boards of nonprofit corporations, with vote The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March 1, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April 12, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995, October 30, 1996, March 13, 1997, and November 4, 1998. Goal: Support the continuation and expansion of tax incentives for the creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. National Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability. Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that all historical financial data be taken into consideration. History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. (Reilly/Skadden, University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration study sponsored by CMF, 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 is sponsoring an updated study which will evaluate the "actual" performance of Michigan's endowed private foundations with assets of more than $5 million over a forty-year period. �42 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 less than 10 percent ofthe outstanding stock ofthe 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: Reduce excise tax to flat 1 percent instead of the present complicated formula which permits, in some cases, a reduction from 2 to 1 percent. 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. 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, 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. �43 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 oflegislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file 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. Legislation has been introduced in 1999, H.R. 1310, which will allow non-itemizers to deduct 50 percent of their charitable contributions over $500. �44 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: Oppose unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on charitable and nonprofit grantees of foundations and corporate giving programs and unreasonable limits which adversely impact grantmakers' ability to fund research and evaluation. While progress has been made, continuous monitoring is essential. 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. 11. Goal: Permit tax free distribution from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes. Explanation: It is proposed that direct gifts from an IRA to a charitable organization would not be taxed as income to the account-holder who has attained the age of 59-1/2 years of age, known as the IRA - Rollover Bill. It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many charitable organizations, including conununity foundations. H.R. 1311 and S. 1086 have been introduced. 12. Goal: Avoid 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. CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation which would require costly administration. 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 amount. The charity then uses the gift to pay the premium on a life insurance policy on the �45 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 tax-sheltered accumulation of the policy. The insurance broker pushing the product also gets a sizable commission. Note that for 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 any goods or services to the donor in return. Advocates for this scheme argue that the full amount is deductible because each donation is an unrestricted cash gift, and the charity may choose not to purchase the insurance policy. H.R. 630 denies a charitable contribution deduction for the 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. pbitzerbdbktab81egstate �46 State Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to commuJ?.ity benefits as it relates to nonprofits. 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. 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 of Michigan 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. Explanation: A community foundation is currently defined in the State Tax Code pertaining to the state community foundation tax credit. It is important to further define a community foundation in order to promote permanency and accountability while avoiding , duplication of effort in communities and regions of the state. Progress: Legislation was passed by the Senate in 1998 and was considered in the House Taxation Committee. An updated Administrative Revenue Bulletin on community foundations is being sought from Department of Treasury to cover some of these issues. Similar 1999 legislation is being introduced by Senator Joanne Emmons. 4. Goal: Support legislation allowing gifts and bequests received by public school systems to be gifted to community foundations. Explanation: While a number of community foundations have scholarship funds established by school systems, Michigan law is currently "grey" on this issue. Legislation will remove the uncertainty and promote further partnerships between school systems and community foundations. Progress: Legislation developed by Duane Tamacki will be introduced by Representative Geiger. Representative Allen, Chair of the Education Committee, has indicated his support. �47 5. Goal: Pursue legislation necessary for a portion of the state tobacco settlement funds to be granted to Michigan community foundations for the establishment of Healthy Youth 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 how states may spend their settlement payments. The House has approved and sent to the Senate a bill to use 75% of the funds to support the Michigan Merit Awards that would provide a $2,500 award to students, who meet or exceed state standards, for study at any two or four year higher education institution in Michigan or federally approved apprentice program. CMF's proposal is geared towards the remaining 25% portion of the settlement. Progress: Governor Engler has been briefed on CMF's proposal and a meeting held with State Treasurer Murray. Discussions are now underway with key legislators. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Irish, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Re: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following activities for family foundations. Family Foundation Luncheons and Discussions In southeast Michigan, two luncheons for family foundation trustees and individuals considering establishing foundations were planned. The first, hosted by the Earl-Beth and Fink Foundations, was held on April30, 1999 at The Grosse Pointe Club and was a huge success. It was obvious that the twenty-seven guests tremendously enjoyed having the opportunity to meet each other and to informally discuss the issues that are important to family foundation trustees. The second luncheon is planned for Wednesday, June 2, 1999 at the Orchard Lake Country Club in Oakland County. The Detroit Neurosurgical Foundation, Shaevsky Philanthropic Fund and The Young Foundation are hosting. We are most appreciative of the leadership and financial support provided by the five host foundations. If the second luncheon on June 2 is as successful as the first, we are planning to repeat the model around the state. The Family Philanthropist The Spring 1999 edition of The Family PhilanthropistL CMF' s newsletter for family foundations, was distributed in May and featured a profile ofRanny Riecker, President, Harry A. & Margaret D. Towsley Foundation, Trustee, Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation and CMF's Chair. (A copy is in the pocket of your board book.) Annual Conference We are excited that Ginny Esposito, President, National Center for Family Philanthropy, has agreed to present a "special" two-hour family foundation workshop on "Continuing the Tradition: Generations and Geography". The National Center, established in September 1997, is the only national resource center that focuses solely on matters of importance to families engaged in philanthropy. Ginny's workshoj will be offered immediately prior to the peer luncheons and the opening of the 27 Annual Conference on Tuesday, November 2, 1999. �59 Concurrent sessions for family foundation trustees will include "Conversation with Carmel Borders", "Which Comes First-You or The Money? Are You Perceived as the Community Wallet?" and "Now Tell Us What You Think, Need Or Want: A Family Foundation Peer Networking Session". Individual Meetings Susan Howbert, Rob Collier, and Dottie Johnson continue to provide technical assistance to family foundation members and potential donors. Recently, considerable time has been spent cultivating new relationships and working with new family foundation members. One ofCMF's greatest resources is its satisfied members who frequently refer their friends to us. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The second section presents a discussion item on the future of MCFYP. We are pleased to share this progress and look forward to your counsel. I. INFORMATION A. MCFYP Update Kellogg Youth Challenge The MCFYP Board has approved matching payments totaling $45,831,076. Plans are underway to have two final celebrations to recognize the efforts of 68 community foundations in completing the Kellogg Youth Challenge on September 20 in Marquette and September 22 in Battle Creek. This means that there is a balance of$1,168,924 remaining in the Youth Challenge. At the direction of the MCFYP Board, staff are preparing a plan for these funds to become a permanent endowment that would support a position to coordinate statewide networking and training activities. This plan will be considered at the fall MCFYP Board meeting before being presented to our funder for consideration. Enhanced Technical Assistance Karen Tice from FERA, the MCFYP evaluator, has provided an interim report on the work of both Dorothy Reynolds and the Fund Evaluation Group (FEG) that confirms the value of this specialized assistance. Dorothy Reynolds is now working with many of the smaller foundations on the development of donor advised funds and area that is new because such funds did not qualify for the Kellogg Challenge. The MCFYP Board has approved the Phase II contract with FEG to continue their investment advisory services. Efforts will focus on implementation of asset allocation strategies and monitoring investment performance. In addition, John Brown, national planned giving expert will be training 50 staff and trustees from small community foundations in May and again in September. Adventure Tours We are pleased to share that youth grantmakers from the Rhode Island Foundation, the Little Rock Arkansas Youth Council, the Muncie Indiana Community Foundation, the Berks County Pennsylvania Community Foundation, the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz California, and six community foundations in British Columbia will be participating with 200 Michigan Y ACers in Adventure Tours 1999, June 24-27 at Michigan State University. �B. Venture Product Fund We are excited to have Bob Tobin of Williams Marketing Services (WMS) in Grand Rapids at the Board Meeting to present an update on the Venture Product Fund. WMS has been retained to be the Project Manager on this important undertaking addressing three goals: to do further research about potential untapped audiences for community foundations, to develop a product portfolio of existing and new products for community foundations, and to develop a communications toolkit for community foundations to use individually and collectively in reaching both advisors to the wealthy and untapped audiences. We are grateful for the work of many volunteers from the community foundations who are helping Bob Tobin and his colleagues at WMS. C. Community Foundation Best Principles and Practices This is a "work in progress" with six committees of volunteers assisting staff in developing manuals that will complement the six sections discussed below. We hope to have preliminary copies ready for the community foundation sessions at the Annual Conference. CO:MMUNITY FOUNDATION BEST PRACTICES Principles & Practices Individuals and communities involved in creating and operating a community foundation in Michigan have asked for guidelines and best practices to consider when assessing the operational effectiveness of their foundation. With this in mind, the Community Foundation Committee of the Council ofMichigan Foundations (CMF) has adopted the following best principles and practices and recommends their adoption by the boards of trustees of community foundations and an annual review for new and current trustees. Michigan is unique in having community foundations included in the state tax code as a result of the individual and business tax credits. The goal of these best principles and practices to promote wellrun community foundations that can best maximize the potential for asset growth and grantmaking in their communities. CMF has a close relationship with the Community Foundations Committee of the Council on Foundations in Washington that is working on the development of national standards for community foundations. It is recognized that the principles for best practices summarized below represent a "work in progress" that will eventually be merged into one national document for community foundations. While state and/or federal law require many ofthe best practice principles, the Committee recognizes there are different approaches to implementation of some principles. As a result, CMF has developed a manual on Best Practices for each of the six main principle headings. It is also recognized that the six main principles are integrated -e.g. that communications is key to effective governance, administration, asset development and grantmaking. Copies of these manuals along with sample forms can be obtained from CMF. Intended to be instructional, these practices are reviewed annually in order to share what works best for community foundations. Additional ideas are always welcome. �52 1.

DISCUSSION ITEM A. Future ofMCFYP (Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project) With the close of the Kellogg Youth Challenge on December 31, 1998, it is time to look at the future role ofMCFYP as a supporting organization of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Based on productive discussions held with the Community Foundation Committee and the Board of Trustees ofMCFYP, the follow recommendations are offered for discussion. With your approval of this plan, we will seek approval of our funder to implement this plan at the start of our next fiscal year, April 1, 2000, and present the necessary formal resolutions for your consideration at the November Board Meeting. Recommendations: 1. That MCFYP continue as a supporting organization of CMF. 2. That the future mission ofMCFYP be redefined as the "promotion and support of youth as grant makers". 3. That the composition ofthe Board ofMCFYP be restructured to include up to 10 individuals with vote: 3 youth grantmakers, 4 representatives of community foundations, and 3 CMF Trustees (including the President of CMF). 4. That the MCFYP Board meet at least twice a year to: • monitor the activities of community foundation youth advisory committees - such as the longitudinal study being conducted by our evaluator FERA through 2010, • oversee special training activities such as the fall regionals and adventure tours, • promote the use ofYAC Best Practices, • consider activities that can further promote and support the work of youth as grantmakers, and • explore opportunities to help Y ACs leverage their funds with private and outside funders. 5. That the remaining one million dollars in the Youth Challenge be used to create a permanent MCFYP endowment that would be used to both support a position at CMF to coordinate YAC trainings and to help underwrite the cost of the trainings. 6. That the endowment, built through the interest earned on the Kellogg Challenge, be used to support general and specialized technical assistance services for community foundations provided through the core operations ofCMF and not MCFYP. This income would start to be used in April 2001 when the current funding for technical services is exhausted. We look forward to discussing these recommendations with you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
