Noland, Chair, and CMF Trustees From: Glenn F. Kossick, Chairman, Michigan AIDS Fund Dennis L. Stover, Executive Director, Michigan AIDS Fund RE: Highlights of 1998 It is our pleasure to prepare this summary of the many successes of the Michigan AIDS Fund during 1998. >- A cadre of eight AmeriCorps members provided $120,000 in services, free of charge, to AIDS organizations in Southeast Michigan. >- We kicked off our fist-ever, multiple-year program for organizational capacity building with the assistance of a $475,000 grant from the Skillman Foundation. >- We convened a four-day series of symposia on HIVI AIDS Services in the 21st Century, with support from t~e W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. >- We established a $500,00 public/private partnership with the Michigan Department of Health. >- We hosted the Sixth Annual Michigan Conference on AIDS, "What Works. What's Next." >- We published two important reports: the monograph monograph resulting from the symposia, and a report on the needs for IDVI AIDS services in rural Michigan. >- We established an eleven-member Corporate Advisory Committee. >- We became the organizing partner of AIDS Walk Michigan in ten cities. >- Our national partner, the National AIDS Fund, recognized MAF- with our award of$1.4 million in grants- as the largest giving AIDS fund in the country. >- Dennis presented the symposia findings at the 12th World AIDS Conference in Geneva. �49 );> We have raised more than $1.7 million in resources toward our $2 million dollar budget for fiscal year 1998-99. );> We coordinated a news conference with Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer and Sandra Thurman, President Clinton's AIDs Policy Director, to announce "AIDS Walk Michigan- Detroit 1999". );> Sandra Thurman addressed more than 400 donors, grantees, and persons living with AIDS, on behalf of the Michigan AIDS Fund );> We formed key policy connections with Medicaid and major pharmaceuticals companies to advocate for appropriate care funding. You have each been mailed an Annual Report that further defines the many successes that the Michigan AIDS Fund has made on behalfofthe Council ofMichigan Foundations during 1998. Sadly, we report all of this to you even as Dennis resigns his position with the Fund for family reasons- to be closer to his brother Bill, who is very ill with AIDS. We have all benefited in many ways from Dennis' leadership with the Fund, and shall miss him. We extend our best wishes as he returns to Indianapolis. ~~---~~ � 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 Dr. John W. Porter, Steering Committee Member Re: K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Report The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Steering Committee met in Lansing on September 10, 1998, to review the progress of the project and to hear the first year formative evaluation results from the Michigan State University Evaluation Team. Several of the project teachers are attending the CMF Annual Meeting as a professional development opportunity. You may be interested in talking with them about the project and their experiences in the classroom. Also, at the CMF conference, there is a foundation history timeline worksheet on the wall. Please visit this timeline and add your foundations' historic events. The comments received will be incorporated into the philanthropy timeline that is being developed for publication for teacher's and students. Lesson Plan and Curriculum Development The project teachers are redrafting their lessons for field-testing. Over 900 teachers from 36 states and six countries have volunteered to evaluate the lesson plans. The lessons are being sent out during the months of October and November. The evaluations are due back in January 1999. The first set of lessons will be placed in the Website by spring. The curriculum themes have been identified. These are the areas that the national advisors and the teachers believe a student should know upon graduating from high school. The four themes are: 1. 2. 3. 4. Defining the philanthropic sector and its relationship to business and government Philanthropy and the individual Philanthropy and civil society Skills in giving, serving, and private citizen action for the public good The teachers are meeting regularly. They have voluntarily divided into two subgroups. One group will continue to define the curriculum and will write additional lessons to fill in any "holes". The second group is beginning the process of developing a standardized test for evaluating student learning at grades 5, 8, and 11. C:\windows\TEMP\November 1998.doc �51 Funding A number of grant proposals are under consideration. We expect to hear the decisions during this fall and into early winter. The summary of the grant requests follows. First Year Formative Evaluation Results The project has several evaluation strategies to both inform project staff and to provide a summative evaluation at the end of the project. The team from Michigan State University has reported their baseline information as a start of the evaluation process. Publicity and Teaching Materials Two new brochures are in publication, one for teachers and one for general audiences. The theme of the brochures is "An Action of the Heart ..... A Project for the Mind". A newsletter will be mailed to key audiences before the end of the year. Presentations have been made or are scheduled for: Michigan Council for Social Studies Annual Fall Meeting Berrien County Intermediate School District National Society for Experiential Education CMF Annual Conference Michigan Education Association Annual Meeting Texas Chapter, National Society ofFuncl-Raising Executives National Social Studies Supervisors Association Council on Foundations Family Foundation Meeting National School Boards Association Requested sessions, still waiting for confirmation: Second Annual Meeting of the Black Philanthropy Professionals Association Council on Foundations Annual Meeting Midwest United Way Annual Meeting Michigan Grantmaker/Grantseeker Michigan Council for Social Studies Spring Meeting Additionally, the Steering Committee has reviewed and set a priority to an extensive list of educational organizations both in Michigan and nationally. The project staff will begin contacting these organizations to inform them of the project, as soon as the brochures are ready for mailing. Indiana Partners A meeting in early December is planned with the Indiana partners regarding the next steps to take together. Initial ideas are the selection of communities in Michigan and Indiana, where all of the components would be implemented simultaneously. In addition, a K-12 research C:\windows\TEMP\November 1998.doc �---.---- ----- -- - -- --- -- - -- - - - - - ~~~~~~-~~~~~~~-----~----------, 52 agenda will be developed for the Indiana Center on Philanthropy to provide some of the intellectual content for the projects.

Resolved: The Council of Michigan Foundations November 1998 Legislative Goal Statement be approved as presented Legislative Victories October brought good news for CMF Members and donors in the state and nation. On the national level, H.R. 519 IS. 194 became part ofthe passed Budget Bill, making permanent the provision for donors to private foundations being able to deduct the full market value of appreciated publicly-traded stock. Sponsored by Congressman David Camp (Midland), and cosponsored by twelve other Michigan Congressmen and both Senators, the provision is now PERMANENT for the first time since 1984, when a series of extenders were passed. The provision is retroactive to June 1998, when the last exteq.der expired. CMF Members have worked on permanent passage of this provision, along with leadership from the Council on Foundations and other regional associations. It is a great victory, which will continue to enhance efforts to increase philanthropy in the USA. On the state level, H. B. 5386 and 5389 have been signed into law by the Governor, allowing local units of government and public libraries to transfer bequests they have received to community foundations for the same purposes as the donor intended. In addition, H. B. 5906, allowing youth ages 16 and 17 to serve on nonprofit boards with vote, has passed the House and will be considered by the Senate in early December. Youth Grantmakers representing the MCFYP State Youth Board, the Battle Creek Community Foundation, the Marshall Community Foundation, and the Capitol Region Community Foundation were involved in presenting testimonry to the House Committee on Commerce. Private Foundation Payout Study Following the discussion at the June board meeting, Public Sector Consultants, with assistance from Cambridge Associates, was engaged to undertake a study of the "actual" �23 investment experience over a forty-year period, of Michigan foundations with assets in excess of $5 million.

Johnson President * *CMF Board Member **CMF Board Member Nominee The Committee met September 16, 1998 to discuss the project. The time period of the study will be 1957- 1997, with a release date ofthe study planned for April1999. If useful, a 1998 update will be issued later in 1999, which will take into consideration 1998 investment returns. The project budget is $80,000. Proposals have been sent to four CMF Members. To date, support has been received from the Herbert·R -& Grace A. Dow Foundation ($10,000). The unique aspect of the Michigan study will be the review of forty years of ACTUAL experience, versus a hypothetical portfolio which is the basis of the excellent COF DeMarche Study, released in 1995 and the CMF-sponsored study, undertaken by the University of Michigan in 1981. The Advisory Board anticipates that the study will be used to inform CMF Members, and will be available for congressional testimony, if needed. It will also be used to address the position raised by some grantees and media representatives, that with the current investment returns, private foundations should make a higher payout. CMF has received invitations to discuss the study from an economic group in Ann Arbor, and the COF Annual Conference Program Committee for the April, 1999 Conference. 1999 State and Federal CMF Legislative Plans CMF continues to actively work with our national and state counterparts to accomplish our legislative goals. The annual Washington visit with our congressional delegation will take place on February 2-3, 1999. As in previous years, a dinner meeting will be held the first evening of the visit, on Tuesday, February 2, where a Congressman will speak. Also as per last year's visit to "the Hill", Consumers Energy will host this dinner. Plans have also been made for the CMF delegation to join the "University of Michigan Capitol Hill Club Breakfast", the morning of February 3rd, where traditionally, most ofthe Michigan delegation are in attendance. -----, �25 The CMF 1999 comprehensive state plan, which takes into consideration term limits and devolution, has been reviewed by the Government Relations Committee. Key components include: • • • • • Congratulatory letters from CMF and interested Members to Senate and House November winners Background papers on Michigan's grantmaking community and issues significant to philanthropy A Grantsmanship Meeting for legislative staff Development of audiotapes on issues for use by Representatives/Senators Meetings with Legislators in their Districts and Lansing The Plan is being undertaken this fall, with a heavy concentration of activity over the winter and early spring. Public Affairs Associates (David Haynes) has been instrumental in the design of the plan and will continue to be of counsel. i:ewp:committee/brdtrsU1998/nov98gov �···------·--- - - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - -- - - - -- - -- - - - - , 26 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement September 1998 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 29 years of experience, it is also apparent that a number of Internal Revenue Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive on the grantmaking effectiveness of Michigan's more than 1,465 foundations, as well as the more than 41,588 other foundations in communities across the United States. If foundations and corporations are to expand their support of important social needs and programs, the Council of Michigan Foundations must work actively to inform the general public, as well as state and federal legislators and other policy-makers, 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 of Michigan Foundations' Government Relations Program. Background: CMF Government Relations Program In 1977, the Council of Michigan 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 policy-makers. A Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the program. �- ·· - · --·· ·· ·- -·-----------------------------------~ 27 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 policy-makers 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 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 Gifts to private foundations of publicly traded sto.ck limitations relaxed 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. 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 501 (c) 3 organizations allowed to have an insurable interest in the life of an individual who has given written consent 2 �28 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; April12, 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: Make permanent the full deductibility of publicly-traded stock given to private foundations .• \'\\~~) \'J.\~WjReform Act of 1984 changed the law to permit living donors to ~~traded stock to private foundations and to be able to deduct the full ket value for a ten year period. Since then, the provision has been extended three ~~~times, the most recent- through June 1998. Progress: Congress has approved, and th~ President has signed into law, the 1998 Tax Reform Act, including a provision to make permanent the deduction of gifts of publiclytraded stock to a private foundation, retroactive to July 1, 1998. 2. 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 Effec~ on Investment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study "Spending Policies and Investment Planningfor 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. Results of this study are expected in Spring 1999. 3 �.... ·-······-·-·- - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - . 29 3. 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. 4. 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 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 tlie taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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 4 �30 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. 8. 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." 9. Goal: Secure passage of legislation 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, H. R. 2499, which will allow non-itemizers to deduct 50 per cent oftheir Charitable contributions over $500. 10. 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. 11. 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. 5 �31 Explanation: Foundations and non-profit 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. 12. 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 community foundations. 13 . Goal: Avoid excessive corporate giving regulations. Explanation: Legislation has been introduced which would require public companies annually to disclose to their shareholders the charities to which they made contributions and the amount of each contribution. Other legislation would require public companies annually to let shareholders (based on their proportional share ownership) to decide what charities should receive-contributions. CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation which would require costly administration. 14. Goal: Protect charitable gift annuities. - Explanation: Many public charities, including community foundations, offer donors the opportunity to co te through charitable gift annuities. Under these arrangements, donors m ial gift of property to the charity and receive a fixed income from that ~~\lii death, the balance of the gift passes to the charity. Legislation was ~~-~ le to protecting charitable gift annuities, however, it is being challenged in ~ Result: In June 1998, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that charities are free to join together to set payout rates on gift annuities, ending a four-year old law suit. 6 �32 State Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to community benefits as it relates to non-profits. Explanation: Legislation has been proposed in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Texas which threatens the tax exemption of charitable organizations. CMF, working with others, 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. A limited tax deduction is proposed. 3. Goal: Support legislation allowing gifts and bequests received by units of local government (cities, villages, counties, public libraries), to be gifted to community foundations. Progress: Legislation passed by the House and Senate and signed by the Governor, will allow gifts and bequests received by cities, villages, counties, and public libraries to be gifted to community foundations. 4. Goal: Support legislation further defining a community foundation in the State Tax Code. Being considered by House Taxation Committee, March 1998. 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. 7 �. .......... ·····--······· -·--- - -····--- - -- - - 33 Progress: Legislation passed by Senate Finance Committee, being considered in House Taxation Committee. Administrative Ruling sought from Department of Treasury to update their definition of a community foundation. 5. Goal: Seek legislation to amend the nonprofit corporation act to allow youth ages 16 and 17 to serve on the boards of nonprofit corporations with vote. Explanation: The Attorney General has issued an opinion that youth under age 18 cannot serve with vote on the boards of nonprofit corporations. Youth with the Michigan Community Foundations Youth Project (MCFYP) State Youth Board feel that, as community foundation youth advisory committee members demonstrate their grantmaking skills, these youth should be given the ability if asked to serve on boards of nonprofit organizations. In addition, several nonprofit organizations serving youth have indicated an interest in having youth serve on their boards. Progress: H. B. 5906 has been approved by the House and a Committee Meeting is scheduled for December 1, 1998, in the Senate to begin consideration of the Bill. 6. 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: As a result of the success of Goal3, legislation has been prepared by John Martin, counsel for the Fremont Area Foundation, which will be introduced in January in the Senate. 8 �r; 34 _) CMF Activity 1. Regularly communicate with elected officials of federal, state, and local levels about foundation activities and concerns. 2. Encourage Member foundations to report grants and activities to government officials. 3. Encourage Members in each Michigan Congressional District to meet as a group with their legislator, when the legislator is in District, to discuss the local contributions of community and private foundations and corporate giving. 4. Support public reporting for foundations, beyond the reports required by law, and provide technical assistance for those foundations seeking to print an annual report or guidelines. Assist in distribution efforts. 5. Expand efforts to explain foundations and their problems to the grantee organizations and the general public. 6. Encourage meetings with local editorial boards and the media about foundation activities and concerns. 7. Develop state legislative network by House and Senate districts and enhance communication with key committee leadership. 8. Continue discussions with the Michigan Attorney General's Office regarding community and private foundation concerns. 9. Encourage meetings with Executive Branch of state government. 10. Sponsor periodic seminars for state legislators, department chiefs and their staffs. i:ewp:comm/govt/legstmnt/sept-98 9 � 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 Organization's September 30, 1998 Financial Statements Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations September 30, 1998 Financial Report be accepted, as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. On October 21, 1998, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee reviewed and approved the enclosed financial statements. Overall results of the enclosed financial statements are within management's expectation with the exception of the endowment funds' investment earnings. Recent market conditions have resulted in the year-to-date investment income for the CMF and MCFYP endowment funds falling below budget. The investment report in the next tab will provide greater detail on this ISSUe. Consolidated Balance Sheet Cash & Cash Equivalents The relative high cash balance for MCFYP is due to the dollars that are required to meet programming needs and challenge grant commitments for the community foundations. Net Assets MCFYP currently holds two endowment funds. The Board Designated Fund, valued at $3,743,056, represents investment earnings that will be used to fund future programs for community foundations. The second fund is the KYIP fund, valued at $5,846,440, which will be used to set up endowment funds for youth programming needs in the Marquette-Alger counties, Calhoun County and Detroit areas. While the accounts receivable balance for the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) and the grants payable balance for MCFYP and MAF are significant, these balances are not unusual for this time ofyear. I:\DLINDBER\BOARDME1\CMF\1998\M110498.doc �13 Consolidated Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets The six month financial results for MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund indicate that expenses are expected to remain within budget for 1998-99 and revenue should remain at or above budget with the exception of investment earnings for the MCFYP endowment funds. The investment earnings for MCFYP are not anticipated to affect current programming needs. As a reminder to this board, the individual boards ofMCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund are responsible for reviewing their individual statements in detail. Core Operations Statement of Activities Note 1: Conference Income & Expenses The variances from budget are due to the timing of host contributions received for the annual conference and deposits paid on events for the upcoming conference. Note 2: Investment Income Investment income has remained strong due to the earnings from funds received for special projects. Note 3: Salaries Salaries for 1998-99 are anticipated to remain 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. When funding was received for the Detroit office CMF had agreed to fund the wages for this position from the Core Operations. In prior years the funding for this position was accounted for as a transfer from the Core Operations fund balance at the end of the year. To clear up any confusion on how the funding for the Detroit office is being handled, management has decided to re-class the wages for this position from Special Projects to the CMF Core Operations. For 1998-99 the cost to fund this position by CMF's core operations will total approximately $76,000. To fund this unbudgeted expense, management has reviewed the year-to-date financial results and projects the following variances from budget. Member contributions Investment income Postage Computer Printing Increase by $29,000 due to an increase in the asset levels of our members and projected new members for 1998-99. Increase by $30,000 due to investment earnings on special project funding. Decrease by $5,000 based on 1997-98level of expenses (taking into account a 10% increase in September). Decrease by $5,000 due to items budgeted for 1998-99 that were purchased in the prior year. Decrease by $6,500 due to adjustments in anticipated printing costs.

Cummings for Ann Irish, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Re: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following family philanthropy activities: The Family Philanthropist We are very excited about our new biannual newsletter for philanthropic families. The Family Philanthropist features educational and inspirational philanthropic stories of individuals and families. It permits families already involved in philanthropy to share stories and lessons learned, while at the same time encouraging others to consider developing a philanthropic mission. In addition, each issue will include short articles of particular interest to individuals and families involved with giving, such as book reviews, frequently asked questions, and best grants. A copy of the first issue is enclosed in the back of the Board book. Sample"'Documents for Family Foundations Sales of Sample Documents for Family Foundations continue to be strong, thanks in part to a new marketing brochure. Released in May at our Family Philanthropy Getaway, this resource binder features 28 sample documents, ranging from a sample mission statement to foundation job descriptions. The brochure has been mailed to all Michigan family foundations, all family foundations across the country with assets above $200,000 and other regional associations of grantmakers. Sample Documents includes a disk of all featured documents for easy adaptation. Regional Meeting for new Family Foundations Mrs. Mimi Haas, President of the Miriam and Peter Haas Fund of San Francisco, was the featured speaker for a "Conversation About Family Philanthropy" graciously hosted by CMF Trustee Julie and Peter Cummings on October 8. Including Trustees Gil Hudson and Ted Doan, about forty individuals representing potential family foundations and existing family foundations participated in this special discussion. The response has been very positive, and we look forward to having similar events in other part of the state. ., ___ While Mrs. Haas was in Detroit, she visited the Cooper Elementary School, a Detroit public elementary school supported by the programs of the Lovelight Foundation, and Fox Tots, a child care center for Little Caesar Enterprises. In addition, she spoke to 35 . �21 Detroit area grantmakers on the Haas Fund's early care and education initiatives at a special luncheon for Detroit grantmakers. Annual Conference The Annual Conference is featuring six special family philanthropy sessions: • • • • • • "Small Grants: Big Impact"- a discussion of how small and medium-sized family foundations can have an impact, "Responsible Stewardship: Maintaining Your Family's Legacy" - sharing how to encourage succeeding generational involvement while maintaining the donor's intent, "Growing Pains" - exploring the common problems associated with foundation growth, "Learning From Each Other" - an opportunity for peer networking, "A Conversation with Cole Wilbur", who has managed The David and Lucile Packard Foundation from its inception, and the "Family Foundation Peer Reception" sponsored by the Ransom Fidelity Company.

Johnson Re: President's Report Since the February Board Meeting, volunteers and staff have been busy on many diverse activities. The following summary highlights both accomplishments and projects that are in the pipeline through November. Additional information can be provided on each item. I. Conferences & Meetings Evaluation Institute More than 75 attended the February Evaluation Institute- more than double the expected attendance! Staff is working with Joyce Brown of theW. K. Kellogg Foundation- our facilitator- on follow-up activities. Due to the popularity of the topic, we may make this an annual event. Detroit Area Grantmakers A Planning Committee Meeting is scheduled to help organize the 1998-99 schedule of meetings. Evaluations are now coming in for this past season of meetings at which attendance averaged 50. One comment seems to sum it up: "all in all, one of the best years ever!" Stephen Nedwicki, Vice President, Comerica Incorporated, and Elizabeth C. Sullivan, Vice President-Program, The Kresge Foundation, lead the effort. Literature and the Professions Professor Sandy Lottor will be facilitating three sessions, two in Detroit on June 11, and one in Charlevoix before the Members Reception. One of the Detroit sessions is being offered for the first time to the executive directors of nonprofit organizations. The two short stories being featured this year are The Loons, by Margaret Laurence, and Shooting an Elephant, by George Orwell, centered around the theme of risk-taking and decisionmaking. Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative Staff and trustees, representing the 21 shoreline community foundations participating in the Collaborative, will be having their third annual meeting at the Inn at Watervale, on June 13- 15. Technical assistance will be offered on communications and planned giving. The community foundations are having success in convening community meetings and raising permanent environmental endowment funds. Fifteen of the community foundations have submitted letters of intent to participate in Phase II, for which funding is now being sought. �···------ - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - , 55 Devolution Seminar CMF will be working with the Skillman Foundation to sponsor a September Workshop on Devolution, in Lansing. This will continue the Devolution Meetings hosted by The Skillman Foundation, and our goal is to have more grantmakers participate in this important activity. Volunteerism Super Conference Colin Powell spoke to a luncheon crowd of more than 1,000 at Lansing's Civic Center as the highlight of the Super Conference. I was delighted to be with the Governor for the presentation of the Mawby Award to Hugh and Eileen Starks from Midland. It was great to see Ted Doan and a large group of supporters from Midland present for the awards ceremony. CMF staff were involved as presenters for several of the workshops held at the Conference. National Center on Nonprofit Boards The May 7 National Teleconference entitled Board & Staff: Creating a Strong Relationship was a sold out event in Dearborn with more than 40 in attendance. We are now distributing tapes from the Teleconference and planning on a bigger room for the October session. The session was made possible by the Ford Motor Fund and cosponsored with the Accounting Aid Society II. Information Services Replacement of computers Ten computer workstations were replaced this winter, and we plan to continue rotating replacement of workstations on a three-year cycle. The new computers enable staff to more easily open attachments, access the Internet, update our association and accounting software, use a more reliable e-mail and desktop faxing software, and prepare publications for the World Wide Web. The transition to a Windows NT network operating system went very smoothly, and the new operating system is much easier to administer, and is more reliable as well as more compatible with the work we do. Website CMF's website continues to be an excellent communication tool- recording over 10,000 hits since its introduction. The library database is now searchable via the Web, providing ready access to our unique and valuable index of over 4500 volumes, and more than 1000 audio and video cassettes. The MCFYP website is increasing in popularity, recording more than 700 hits to date. Three interactive real-time chats have been hosted during the Spring. --------. - - - - -- -- �·······- ·· ····- ·-·- -- - -- -- - - - - - - - -- -- - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - - - . 56 Here is a sample comment from one youth who has visited the site: "Hello fellow YACers. My name is Erin Carroll and I'm a member ofthe Kamloops Youth Advisory Council. It just started this year and we got the idea from you. Thanks a bunch. In September, we're giving info about YAC to the Canadian Student Leadership Conference. It's not just an American thing anymore - YOUTH RULES!" III. Publications The Michigan Foundation Directory, l Oth Edition This spring we distributed more than 2,000 copies of the Update to purchasers of the 1oth Edition. Microsoft Access-based directory software has been developed in cooperation with other RAGs and is in-house for use in producing the 11th Edition. We anticipate production of the 11th edition as the first ever-electronic directory, along with the print version, available both on floppy and CD RO for a competitive price. With the 11th Edition scheduled for fall distribution, the fire sale has now begun for remaining copies of the 1Oth Edition. (It is now available for $1 0 a copy, so let staff know if you would like to pick up some copies for your grantees.) Community Foundations Serving Rural Areas This special publication written by Karen Tice from FERA has been updated and · reprinted to respond to the many requests received for information on developing community foundations in rural areas. It was distributed at the recent Canadian Community Foundations Conference. Welfare Reform: Community Challenges in Bridging Welfare to Work At this winter's Skillman Foundation Meeting on Devolution, we learned that Professor Sandra Danziger from the University of Michigan had written this article for the McGregor Fund's Board of Trustees. We are grateful to David Campbell and to Sandy Danziger for updating the article and allowing us to disseminate multiple copies to all CMF members. Nonprofit Management Training Resource Catalog CMF partnered with the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) in producing this Catalog, in newspaper form for the Volunteerism Super Conference. Our members each received a copy in the May issue of Memo to Members. MNA will now keep the Catalog updated as part of their website services. .· "' Establishing & Administering A Scholarship Program - Third Edition The Third Edition is being premiered at the June 9 Leadership Academy for new Community Foundation staff and trustees, when Anne Fergeman ofthe Kalamazoo ·Foundation teaches the session on scholarships. We have merged into the publication the booklet Community Foundation Scholarship Program Guidelines for Membership Clubs, Corporations and Associations, by our legal counsel Duane Tarnacki. We expect many �57 requests for this publication, and have already sent a copy to a foundation in Florida. We are grateful to Grand Valley State University for providing CMF intern John Clements, who helped with editing. Establishing A Charitable Foundation in Michigan - Third Edition The Third Edition has been completed by Duane Tamacki and his colleagues at Clark Hill. Judy Carl, our Communications Director, is working on layout, and we expect to have this important publication available for sale in early July. IV. Partnerships Corporation for National Service I have been recently appointed by President Clinton to serve on this board, currently chaired by Bob Rodgers, Chairman, Ewing Kaufman Foundation, in Kansas City. The board is responsible for implementing many of the service initiatives undertaken by the federal government including Americorp, Learn & Serve, VISTA, and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. FORUM of RAGS I have accepted the position of Chair of the new Promotion of Philanthropy Initiative - a $10 million effort to support collaborative efforts by RAGS and other partners to promote philanthropy. Three major funders have committed $3 million to date. The FORUM hopes to fund its first projects in the fall. Russell G. Mawby has agreed to serve on the Advisory Board. Donor's Forum of Ohio Meeting In May I gave the plenary address at the first statewide meeting of Ohio community foundation board members and directors. They were very interested in the Michigan experience and what we do together that can be replicated in Ohio. I have placed the $1,000 honorarium in the Mawby Fund, to be used for a collaborative effort between Ohio and Michigan grantmakers to increase philanthropy. Connecticut Coordinating Council on Foundations Also in May, I spoke in Hartford about CMF's experience as a statewide Regional Association of Grantmakers, what has been accomplished, and the lessons learned which could be valuable in Connecticut, as they expand their geography statewide and take on a new purpose to increase philanthropy in the state. The Coordinating Council of Connecticut has recently released a new publication, "Giving in Connecticut", which could be helpful to CMF in our efforts. Grantseeking Seminars Staff continue to conduct workshops for grantseekers with recent groups including the Great Lakes Commission Michigan Meeting, a State Public Health Conference for Agencies on Violence Prevention, and the State Conference on Affordable Housing. �58 Michigan Funders Interested in K-12 Education Three Michigan grantmakers --Leah Austin, W.

David Campbell, McGregor Fund; and John Ziraldo, The Skillman Foundation, are exploring with CMF, the feasibility of forming an interest group around issues in K-12 education and the lessons learned not only in the state, but nationally. Ideally, a meeting will be held this summer with the interested parties from foundations and corporations. i :ewp :comm ittee/brdtrst/98meetings/j unepres � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How should the nonprofit sector and organized philanthropy respond? We are pleased that Lynn Jondahl, a veteran of state government and currently co-director of the Michigan Political Leadership Program at Michigan State University, will be joining us at the Board Meeting to discuss the answer to this question and the implications that term limits have for our state. Joining Lyn in the discussion will be Ranny Reicker, Chair of the CMF Government Relations Committee, and Leonard Smith, President of the Skillman Foundation, and former CMF Chair. As background information, we have enclosed a copy of Michigan Braces for Term Limits by Craig Ruff, President of Public Sector Consultants. Craig identifies the following 15 consequences of term limits, which he refers to as sure bets. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Leaders will lack seasoning. Turnover will have tsunami-like proportions: Impatience will be the order of the day. Diminution of institutional memory will create an error-prone process. Political professionalism will decline. Titans and the power/wisdom of seniority will be a thing of the past. There may be wild shifts in partisan control. Michigan's inherent fiscal conservatism will deepen. There won't be time to build trust. The Senate will gain power and attention. More women, minorities, and Republicans will enter the legislature, and they will gain appreciably more power. There will be more local government experience in the state capitol. Legislative leadership will be weak. The power of Lansing's premier lobbyists will grow. Legislators will be less productive. CMF is already involved in an important response to term limits by partnering with the Michigan Nonprofit Association through the new Michigan Public Policy Institute to produce Michigan In Brief Michigan In Brief is a summary of more than 70 key issues many affecting the nonprofit sector - being published in both book and cd-rom format for use in the campaign season this summer. It will also be on the Internet so that it can be easily updated.

This paper reviews the context of the voters' approval of term limits, describes changes already underway, and examines future consequences of this once-in-alifetime shakeup of our politics. T erm limitation takes effect in 1998, and during the next five years, state elective government will be strip-mined of familiar faces, institutional memory, and individual expertise on issues. WHAT VOTERS INTENDED Term limitation began as a populist brushfire in Oklahoma in 1989, then spread quickly to the Pacific coast states of Washington and California. By this time the brush fire had become a movement, largely fueled by people fed up with political corruption and careerism, and in Michigan, in 1991, it jelled into a successful petition drive to place on the 1992 statewide ballot a constitutional amendment limiting the number of terms that elected state executives, legislators, and representatives in Congress may serve. Polled by Public Sector Consulta!:lts after the November 1992 election, state voters reasoned that term limits will • • • • bring new ideas and people to state government, cause politicians to do what is right rather than what is popular, control interest group influence, and keep politicians more in touch with the citizenry. They also recognized that it will • ' 0 0 ~ c 11c Sector Consultants, Inc. 600 W.

While Democrat-leaning voters split evenly on the term limits amendment, 66 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of ticket-splitters supported it. The issue won support across all groups, including self-described liberals, conservatives, and moderates, all races, every region of the state, all ages, and both genders. Readers will remember that, as a backdrop to the 1992 elections, political alienation was setting all-time highs. Nearly half of Michigan's residents believed that politicians do not keep their promises, cannot be trusted to do the right thing, and do not tell the truth. One in three Americans would not have objected to auctioning off seats in Congress to the highest bidder; half thought that drawing names out of a hat would be as effective as are elections as a means of picking members of Congress. Fewer Americans (only 8 percent) trusted government than believed that Elvis was still alive ( 10 percent) . June 6, 1997 �28 Facts bore out the perceptions that at least some people in public life viewed politics as a career and that incumbents were.all but invincible (recently, 94-year-old Strom Thurmond marked his 41st year in the Senate, setting its alltime record of service). In 1990, ·the average tenure in the Michigan Senate and House was roughly 11 and 10 years, respectively; 10 legislators had served more than 20 years. From 1967 to 1990, in 1,210 primary elections for the House, only 28 incumbents lost renomination bids (2.3 percent). In the same number of general elections, just 32 incumbents lost (2.6 percent). During the same time there were 190 primary and 190 general elections for Senate seats, in which only 10 incumbents lost their bid for renomination (5.3 percent), and 6 others were defeated in November general elections (3.2 percent). The rate of reelection exceeded 90 percent. EARLY SIGNS OF "LIMITITIS" Symptoms of term limits kicked in quickly following the 1992 constitutional change. In 1993 two veteran members of the House Appropriations Committee, David Hollister and Charlie Harrison, surrendered their influential positions and safe seats to run successfully for mayor of Lansing and Pontiac, respectively. Floyd Clack, Sal Rocca, Greg Pitoniak, and Teola Hunter eventually would join them in moving into local elected offices; Sens. Doug Carl and Virgil Smith and Rep. Tracey Yokich tried, but lost their bids for local offices. In politics, unlike other professions, downward mobility-moving from state to municipal office-frequently . is more profitable, rewarding, and comfortable. Maneuvering accelerated following the 1996~elections. Without the option of s~king another term in the House, 66 of the 110 members began hatching their exit plans. Rep. Greg Pitoniak struck early, resigning to become mayor of Taylor. Eyeing bids to challenge state senators in 1998, whose term limits do not kick in until 2002, are at least 10 representatives. In the three previous election cycles of the Senate (1986, 1990, and 1994) only two Public Sector Reports This publication is part of the Public Sector Reports subscription service, which provides timely information on emerging state and national public policy and commentary on political matters.

Other state representatives are weighing future bids for local office, including city council seats, mayoralties, county commission seats, and county positions such as clerk, treasurer, and prosecuting attorney. A few are handicapping runs for such statewide office . as attorney general. Still others are looking at job opportunities in Lansing-positions in the executive branch, in trade associations, and in lobbying firms. The larger number probably will gracefully go back to private life, retiring or returning to such former pursuits as teaching, farming, and law. Still others are engaging in "heir apparency"-plotting the succession of others to their own soon-to-be vacated seats. In some cases, the heir presumptive is a relative, most notably a spouse. One husband-and-wife team already has tag-teamed: In 1994 Sal Rocca withdrew from his reelection race at the eleventh hour, to successfully ease the way for his wife, Sue, to win his Sterling Heights seat. Expect at least three marital seat swaps in 1998. Reps. Alma Stallworth and Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick helped �-----------------------------------------, 29 ---~ ---Upwardly mobile representatives breed new tension in the legislative process.

The senators are warily seeking to minimize the crowing of and credit given potential competitors. state legislative seats. !)y 2008, bo th legislative chambers in these 20 states will have undergone a complete turnover. The Michigan Legislature is harder hit by term limits than is the case in many of these 20 states. Ours is a highly professional, full-time, well-paid body, Jomtnated by professionals in public life; thts is in contrast to states in which the legislature is largely citizen dominated and meets 60 or 90 days a year. Turnover in Michigan is lower than average; policy expertise and legislative length of stay are much greater. California adopted a term limits plan identical to ours two years before we did . And because the California legislatme is similar to ours-full time, well paid, and highly professional- we can look to some of California's experiences as indicators of what we may expect. Sure Bets their respective sons, Keith and Kwame, move into their seats in 1996. In other cases, instances of which will become more frequent, members are boosting into their places loyal staff persons like Eileen DeHart (who worked for Rep. Justine Barns) and Derrick Hale (who worked with Rep. Michael Bennane). CONSEQUENCES OF TERM LIMITS Twenty states now limit legislative service, affecting more than one-third of the nation's 7,424 Fifteen consequences-some good, some not so good--of term limits in Michigan's legislature are rather predictable. Leaders will lack seasoning. The 1998 election will bring a massive turnover in the Michigan House of Representatives. Something like 72-7 5 members, close to two-thirds of the body, will not return. The first glimpse of term limits' most profound effect on the legislative process will be seen by voters in the 19992000 House session: The chamber will be led by a Speaker with no more than four years' legisla- rive cxpcncnce, ;md the nuts ;md bolts of its business- ·commtttce work- will be guided by chairs of equally short tenure. Turnover will have tsunami-like proportions. Every sixth year in the House and eighth in the Senate will wipe out vast maJorities in each chamber, unless the tnterv enin g election cycles yield unexpectedly large numbers of re tirem ents and defeats that even o ut the carnage. But voluntary retirements likely will decline dramatically from levels of the past: Why would a person seek an office limited to six years' service if s/he is inclined to serve for only two or four? Defeat rates likewise will be lower than in the past: Wannabees just will wait a few years, until the incumbent is forced off the ballot, and avoid having to go headto-head against the power of the incumbency. The exhibit presents a turnover scenario; shading indicates years in which turnover will be highest. It is no stretch to prophesy that Michigan state government will tum upside down in those political witching years in which the six-year House mass exodus overlaps the eight-year Senate exodus, e.g., in 2010. Under the scenario presented in the exhibit, in 2010 we could experience a turnover of 77 percent in the House and 84 percent in the Senate! Impatience will be the order of the day. Legislators will have a gunl in the form of a clock, to their heads. And with impatience comes more mistakes, more risk taking, and more zeal, Public Sector Consultants, Inc. 3 �30 MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE: TURNOVER SCENARIO Election Year Number of Term-Limited Members Defeats Retirements* Expected Turnover House of Representatives (110 seats) 1998 65 2 6 73 2000 18 3 3 24 2002 25 3 3 31 2004 69 2 4 75 2 2 25 2006 21 2008 26 2 2 30 2010 73 2 3 78 2012 22 2 2 26 2014 26 2 2 30 2016 77 2 3 82 Senate (38 seats) 1998 0 4 2002 30 2006 8 0 1 2010 31 0 4 8 31 1 10 32 34 2014 10 1 2 - 2016 32 1 13 • Some members eligible for reeleciion will seek other offices or, for other reasons, choose not to run again. rashness, and passion. A Mozartian fatalism may pervade the scene: How many people look at their output, ponder Mozart's death at age 35, and think "When Mozart was my age, he'd been dead for xx years-l'd better get busy!" Diminution of institutional memory will combine with impatience to create an errorprone process. Fewer long-inthe-tooth veterans will be around to guide newcomers away from mistakes. Having gone through umpteen budget battles, veterans have the institutional memory that cautions them to resist, for instance, cutting off funds for PBB 4 Public Sector Consultants, Inc. surveillance or slashing state programs that have federal matching funds that will be lost. What memory remains will be in the hands of career civil servants, trade association members, and lobbyists. Political professionalism will decline. The legislature will become more appeal ing to amateur politicians. Champions of term limits promote it as a means of restoring Jeffersonian dreams of farmers, business people, bankers, and tradesmen sacrificing a few years of their chosen profession to provide a public service through elected office. Certainly, the type of people who run will be different; this is borne out by a poll taken shortly after California adopted term limits that revealed that one-third of its legislature would not have run for the office in the first place had term limits then been in effect. You may recall the conversation in "Casablanca," in which Bogart's character is questioned about why he had settled in North Africa 15 years earlier. Bogart: I came for the waters . Q: You came here for waters? What waters? We're in a desert. Bogart: I was misinformed. Many incoming legislators will find that they have been "misinformed" about what it is like to have to legislate-the process, dynamics, content, and mysteries of setting policy and spending $40 billion annually for the betterment of nearly 10 million people; worse yet, they will have to move on before they ever really learn how, only to be replaced by others who are similarly misinformed. Titans and the power/wisdom of seniority will be a thing of the past. The chairman of the House Appropriations traditionally has been a Titan-an individual with the personal sway, stature, accumulated power, and institutional memory that enables him to rein in insurgencies and maintain discipline. Five recent Titans come to mind: Copeland ( 16), Jacobetti (20), Dick Young (28), Gilmer (16), Hood (26); the figure following each name is the number of years he served in the House prior to assuming the appropriations chair. �31 Starting in 1999, future chairs of the House Appropriations Committee (next to the Speaker, the most powerful job in the lower chamber) will never have more than four (!) years of legislative service. They will be strangers to many of their colleagues. On their very first day as chairman, they will be lame ducks and too weak to mold and hold consensus. There may be wild shifts in partisan control. With so many legislative seats contested without an incumbent, we are apt to see elections in which partisan tides sweep huge gains or losses into the two chambers. The reason the Republicans could not win control of the state House in the Reagan landslides of 1980 and 1988-or, likewise, the Democrats failed to win control of the State Senate in the Blanchard landslide of 1986- is because so many well-known and popular incumbents were insulated from becoming victims of a dreadful partisan year. The odds are slim and none that one party ever again will have long-term domination, as the Democrats did in controlling the state House from 1969 to 1992. Shifts in party control alone will cause shifts in public policy, and they will be accentuated because representatives of passionate minorities and ideologies will be more likely than before to break through electoral barriers. One can imagine the growth in representation of people who represent niche issues like one side or the other of the abortion or firearms debates. Their allegiance will be to their cause, not to their political party. Partisan discipline will become tougher to enforce, whether in the electing a House Speaker or on a key vote in the Senate. Michigan's inherent fiscal conservatism will deepen. Seventy-two percent of state General Fund revenues are now "earmarked," i.e., they must be put to a designated purpose; this leaves few discretionary dollars for all other state programs and services. Term-limited lawmakers will not be apt to support one another's pet projects, as legislators now do, either out of deference to Titans or stemming from the camaraderie and friendship born of years of serving together. Short stints in the capitol will mean narrower legislative perspective: Lawmakers will keep their eye on the local ball and be disinclined to explore the "big picture"-the best interest of 10 million people. An understanding of the need to balance the local view with the statewide perspective will be relatively rare. There won't be time to build trust. Trust guides political behavior, notwithstanding the perception of the cynical public. Honor of word, respect, and integrity are integral to the political process. But learning who to trust-whether a colleague on floor, a bureau head in a state department, or a lobbyist in town-takes time and experience. Time, under term limits, will not allow the normal sizing up of credibility and identifica- tion of people who know the facts, dispense them objectively, and can be counted on to be truthfuL Facts always will benegotiable in politics and never more so than under term limits. Newcomers to the legislature have at first always relied for information and perspective more on the people back home than on those they don't yet know well in Lansing. Under term limits, the shift never will be made from local to broader trust. This means that the local school superintendent's voice may be louder than that of the lobbyist for the association of school administrators. The neighborhood grocer's comments about item pricing and bar codes will ring truer than the message delivered by the state grocery industry spokesperson. The Senate will gain power and attention. Former House Speaker Paul Hillegonds was the first to conjecture that the Senate will gain and the House of Representatives will lose influence as term limits phases in. One reason is that many representatives will be moving to the Senate, taking with them substantial legislative experience and policy knowledge, leaving lessexperienced people to replace them in the House. In California, 21 assemblymen have moved into the 40-member state Senate. Also, senators enjoy longer tenure than representatives (eight versus six years), and there are fewer of them (38 versus 110); hence, lobbyists likely will invest more time both with the Senate . Public Sector Consultants, Inc. 5 �32 as a whole and with individual members. With House members' terms expiring every two years and a host of them leavtng every biennium, lobbyists will find themselves spread far too thin to cover all representatives and will focus instead on the smaller, more-longevous upper chamber. More women, minorities, and Republicans will enter the legislature, and they will gain appreciably more power. Longtime incumbents, first elected in an era in which women and minorities were seen by many voters as less credible officeholders, will be moving aside to make way for newcomers. In the California Assembly, women members have increased (from 16 to 20), as have Hispanic-Americans (from 4 to 14) and Asian-Americans (from none to 2). Women now lead 12 of the Assembly's 2 7 committees, including its appropriations body. In the Michigan House, women now chair only 8 of the 28 committees; in the Senate, the lone majority (Republican) woman chairs two committees. Republicans probably will fare marginally better than now. For starters, Republican sympathizers instinctively feel less sanguine about the role of government and, therefore, traditionally have had less an appetite for going into the business of politics than have Democrats. Likewise, the GOP "farm team" is weakerthere are fewer Republicans than Democrats in local elected posts, frequently the springboard to state legislative office. Moreover, the Republican Party has found 6 Public Sector Consultants, Inc. it difficult to recruit their more prominent civic leaders to run for the legislature because of the financial sacrifice they would endure. The shorter-term commitments of a citizen-based legislature will be more appealing to some Republicans than the fulltime, long-term commitments of the present. There will be more localgovernment experience in the state capitol. It is natural for a county commissioner, city council member, township trustee, or school board member to use local identity and organization as a springboard to the legislature. Currently, 25-30 percent of state legislators formerly held local office. This percentage easily could double over time _ f\s a consequence, future legislatures may be more sensitive to municipal roles and responsibilities and more attentive to municipal issues such as jails, local roads, K-12 education, and land use planning, zoning, and annexation. Legislative leadership will be weak. Perhaps no other consequence matches this in its effect on the flow and nature of public policy. Leadership stints will be short. Virtually the moment a Senate majority/minority leader or the Speaker of the House assumes office, s/he will be a lame duck, far less capable than before in disciplining wayward members, setting committee and floor agendas, and managing the flow of legislation. Florida's Speaker of the House, T. K. Weathell, describes term limits as "clear-cutting old forests. They don't bother the underbrush much, but they're hell on the tall timber." Perhaps even more important is that legislative leaders will have, in policy negotiation with the governor, far less assurance than before that they can honor deals brokered behind the scenes. This leaves governors with potentially less policy clout. To forge majorities, both legislative leaders and governors may have to spend a good deal of time negotiating with hosts of individual legislators, and, far more frequently than today, have to compromise away details to pick up a few added votes. The power of Lansing's premier lobbyists will grow. Much of state government's institutional memory will reside with lobbyists-individuals, multi-client lobby firms, and trade associations. Lobbying firms and trade associations likely will grow in size as their clients and members demand that relationships be quickly established with all legislative newcomers. I believe lobbyists increasingly will recruit and finance candidates and offer them in-kind election help (research, sound bites, and organizing tips), which will enable the lobbyists to get a head start in relationship building. Until now, they generally have had an easier time of it; they simply backed the incumbent and didn't have to intervene in the races for the few open seats. Legislators will be less productive. I predict that any given state representative's attitudes �------------ ------------- - - - - - - - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . 33 during his/her three tenus will be, respectively, "Do n't know," "Don't rock the boat," and "Don't care." Quite possibly, the third and fo urth years- the middle term-of House service will be the most productive for the average member, but committee leadership generally will not come until the fifth and sixth yearsthe final, "don't care," term. Wild Cards There are two other frequently discussed changes, but the jury is out on whether they actually will come to pass. The executive branch will run amok. Many people believe that term limits will vastly expand the power of the executive branch-the governor and the career civil servants in departments and agencies. It is true that unsophisticated and inexperienced legislators may cede to the executive branch the power of knowledge, memory, and data. It also is true that if legislators let _themselves be dominated by local issues and perspective, they will lack the heart and expertise to lead on statewide problems. But, as I mentio ned earlier, because legislative leaders will be weaker than before, future governors will find themselves tied up in much more extensive legislative negotiation, and these chief executives will confront considerably more chiseling away of their policy initiatives . Remember, too, that the governor also is term limited; if reelected, s/he immediately is a lame duck. Finally, many Michigan governors (in recent memory, Swainson , Milliken, and Engler) were capitol insiders upon taking office: They knew legislative leaders go ing in-their temperament, personal history, trustworthiness, and interests. In the future, even capitol insiders who make it to governor will see hosts o f new, unkn o wn fac es being sworn into office at the same time. With re s pect t o the bureaucracy's influence, it can be argued that technocrats will be the repos ito ries of kn owledge about po licy issues and hence, they will gain influence. But it is possible that the legislative staff, to stay competitive, will grow into greater policy professiona lism. Because many legislative staffers today earn more than the legislators, it is fairly easy to predict that many term-limited lawmakers will move into appointed staff positions, thereby preserving institutional memory and procedural experience within the legislative branch. Also arguing against the technocrats winning all the marbles is that with legislators serving shorter stints and party contro l of the chambers shifting back and forth, it is hard to see how civil servants will be able to gain and retain the levels of trust, familiarity, and confidence that many now enjoy with legislators and legislative leaders. Moderation in the pace of making public policy will be lost. With term limits, one can envision an incredibly rapid pace that stems from the impatience, immaturity, wild swings in party control, ideological fervor, passion, and the disappearance of Titans. Elec ti on mand ates may be stretched beyo nd propo rtion. Whole statu tory codes ~ould be written and rewritten with each new wave of sen ators and represe nta tives. Howev e r, th e pace c o uld slacken, as is n ow occurring in Ca lifo rni a. Loca l, Balka ni ze d interests can para lyze th e leg islative process. A ma teurism can lead to sluggishness; inexpe ri enced legislato rs can become en snared in procedural details. Less capital city camaraderie can lead to fewer negotiated deals. The upwardly mobile tend to exercise great caution, les t they unse ttle their chances of making a move to higher office. COPING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES Evermore, chaos theory expla ins better than linear reasoning the changes hitting society. Likely, students of the former will be better than political scientists at predicting the political and policy consequences of term limits. This much we know: All dynamics of state policymaking will change. Bartholomew Gill, an Irish myste ry writer, nea tly sums up an important difference between the genders, but the distinction he makes is applicable to making public policy, and future legislators would be well served to heed it. Men go at everything hammers and tongs, with fists clenched, but life is best approached on the carom-gently, obliquely, with some understanding of different spheres. Public Sector Consultants, Inc. 7 �- -- -- - ------- -------- ---- -----~-------------------------------------------------. 34 The art of the carom is the science of working with term limits. Many people grossly oversimplify term limits' effects and consequences; they either proclaim the change to be the greatest revitalization of democracy since Jefferson or foretell the utter disinstitutionalization of democracy. The benefits and drawbacks of such a complex, crosscutting change as term limits are not black and white, with clear winners and losers. More important, politics-among all professionsmost easily finds ways to adapt. It is in the very nature of politics and politicians to be malleable and flexible, brokering one side against another, ever seeking the comfortable consensus and center. The hallmark of politics is resilience. Government's internal processes will change, but the public may not witness a penny's worth of difference in policy outcomes. Michigan's politics adapted very well to the Progressive Era's introduction of secret balloting, the initiative, and the referendum. They adapted to enormous changes struck in the 1963 state constitution. They adapted to one-man, one-vote. They will adapt to term limits. © 1997 PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Public Sector Consultants has published three previous papers on this subject: "Political Tenure" (by Craig Ruff, 1990), "Term Limitation: Unraveling the Constitution" (by Rep.

Mawby, Chair K -12 Education in Philanthropy Project Re: Progress Report Tab 13 The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project has completed its first year. Lessons: The forty-three teachers involved in writing lessons have submitted over 250 draft plans. These lessons have been pilot-tested in each teacher's classroom this spring. At the Steering Committee meeting in May, members reviewed videotape of a second grade classroom in Munising, where the teacher taught her lesson on "selfishness" versus "selflessness". Other student work from VanZile Elementary and Woodward Elementary Schools in the Detroit Public School District, St. Alphonsus Elementary School in Grand Rapids, Mt. Pleasant High School, and Romulus High School, were also on display as samples. An independent committee of educators, foundation representatives, and volunteers has reviewed each lesson for fairness. Field-Testing: Each lesson will be field-tested by five classroom teachers during the fall semester of 1998. Volunteer teachers have already been identified from the states of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Maine, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Arizona. Telephone calls and direct teacher contacts have been made in Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, California, Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. Volunteers from these states are expected shortly. The staffhas set an internal goal to have some of the lessons field-tested in each of the states this fall. All of the lessons will be field-tested in Michigan classrooms. Michigan teachers are still needed. Representatives from the Louisville, Kentucky area will be visiting with the Michigan teachers in June. They have committed to leading the State of Kentucky in replication of the lessons and units. Educational Themes: A national advisory committee of foundation representatives, and scholars has been helping to identify the educational themes that will serve as the organizing principles for the lessons. These major themes were approved by the Steering Committee and will be developed for final approval in the fall. Web Site: The web site at www.msu.edu/- k12phil/ is well underway. The Steering Committee also reviewed the contents of the site and offered suggestions for its further development. The site includes information about the project, such as pictures and biographies of the teachers and schools, but also background information on philanthropy. �52 CMF Board members might find this a useful spot to research speech information regarding the history of philanthropy, or quotations related to giving and serving. Indiana Partners: After changes in leadership with the Indiana partners, continued joint planning is scheduled for late June to assure that the K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project works in concert with the Indiana efforts to develop curriculum materials that teach philanthropy within youth groups and in religious communities. A special meeting with 4-H is scheduled to discuss their new lessons that have been written for 4-H clubs nationwide. Also, the Search Institute is working as consultant, to research the various religious traditions and instruction as part of the Indiana project. Fund-Raising: Active fund-raising to complete the project continues. Current support will be expended by summer 1999. The staff has been promised that they will be officially notified by December 1998, ifthe project will need to close due to a lack of funds. In the meantime, the following fund-raising avenues are being pursued: Formal Proposals Submitted after Personal Discussions: Charles Stewart Mott Foundation The Ford Foundation Continuing Written and Personal Discussions: The Gordon Christian Foundation Anonymous New York Educational Donor The Lilly Endowment Initial Conversations Followed by Letters oflhquiry: Kauffman Foundation McGregor Fund Lucille and David Packard Foundation (advised to resubmit in December 1998) Printed Materials: The results of the October conference on teaching philanthropy are currently being transcribed from audio-tapes. The conclusions will be edited for publication in the fall. Initial history timelines (world, United States, Michigan) of philanthropy are completed and are being prepared for publication. They will be used at the national affinity group meeting of funders for Children and Youth in Indianapolis in the fall. They will also be available for display in classrooms as support to the history lessons. The first brochure and newsletter about the project are being prepared for fall distribution. -------- �53 Long Range Plans: In answering questions for potential funders, the project has evolved a nine-year plan for continued development and eventual sustainability. The general staging IS: Stage 1: Stage II: Stage III: Research, Writing, Field-testing, Polishing Integration Throughout Michigan National Dissemination Integration Nationally (in at least 10 states) International Dissemination. The Steering Committee approved this new staging model, and the development of a K -12 Philanthropy Teachers professional organization. Evaluation: The evaluation team from Michigan State University, Indiana University, and a private psychomatrician reported on their progress. The evaluation components have been determined and collection of information is currently underway. The components include a written pre-post survey of the teachers, quarterly reflective journals by the teachers and staff, periodic personal interviews with key stakeholders, analysis of the conversations being held on the internet, and classroom observation of the lessons as they are taught. Presentations: Presentations about the project continue across the state and nationally. Some of the most critical opportunities for the project are presentations at the National Council for Social Studies, the National Experiential Education Conference, the Michigan Education Association, and the Michigan Council for Social Studies Conference - all this fall. · Conclusion: The project continues to be on track, with very exciting products being developed. The Steering Committee meets again in September to review the progress on revising the lessons, the field-test sites, to hear the first year evaluation results, and to consider the financial situation atthat time. i:ewp:committee/brdtrst/meetings/june98/k-12june � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thurber Investment Committee Member Re: March 31, 1998 Investment Report Resolved: That the March 31, 1998, Investment Report be approved as presented. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council ofMichigan Foundations and its supporting organizations, for the period ended March 31, 1998. The targeted rate of return is a weighted average based on the previous 12 months returns for the various indices listed at the end of the attached report. The Investment Committee has approved an investment strategy for the endowment funds, which involves investing in index funds, which mirror the various benchmarks that are being used for comparison purposes on the attached report. Variances from the various benchmarks are explained below. ' Operating Funds The variance from the benchmark can be explained in the management fees of21 basis points, which are paid, on each fund (thus resulting in a gross return of 5.63%). Endowment Funds • The benchmark assumes that the portfolio is invested at 100% of the targeted asset allocation for the entire 12 months. As an example, the Mawby Fund actual asset allocation at March 31 , 1997 was: 66% Equities vs. 70% target 20% Fixed Income vs. 25% target vs. 5% target 14% Cash • The actual asset allocation can vary from the targeted allocation due to cash flowing into to the fund . The re-balancing ofthe portfolio takes place over a three-month period. The Mawby Fund received $300,000 in December 1997, which was invested over a three-month period ending March 1998. The William Allen equity portion ofthe portfolio was invested in actively managed funds for the majority of the past twelve months. The equity portion has since been moved into index funds to remain consistent with the other endowment funds. Management fees on the various funds range from 19 to 21 basis points. • • • \\nt -server\staft\dlindber\boardmet\cmf\ 19 9 8\m0612 9 8b. doc �20 It should also be noted when reviewing the attached report that the KYIP Funds are being invested over a twelve-month period ending in August, which will then allow for the calculation of a total twelve-month return for the portfolio.

CMF, together with the Council on Foundations, and regional associations of grantmakers from throughout the country, have been working to make the provision permanent (H.R. 519). Sponsored by Congressman David Camp (MI-Midland, House Ways & Means Committee Member), the legislation is cosponsored by 40 Representatives, including 13 from Michigan. A companion bill in the Senate (S. 194), is cosponsored by 12 Senators, including Michigan Senators Abraham and Levin. Unfortunately, the bill will expire since no tax_bill will be completed by the end of June. The good news is that the Chairmen of both tax-writing committees have voiced their commitment to having a small tax bill before the end of this year with a section that will extend 170(e)(5) again this year. The President's 1999 Budget proposal includes a one-year extension through June 30, 1999. CMF Members have actively supported legislation to make this provision permanent, as can be noted by the number of cosponsors. Work is underway to encourage foundation grantmakers in other parts of the country to make the case to their legislators. IRA Rollover H.R. 2821 and S. 1734 would amend the tax code to permit IRA owners over age 59-1/2 to withdraw funds and escape tax if the disbursement is made directly to either a qualified charity or a qualifying deferred giving plan (charitable remainder trust, pooled income fund, or charitable gift annuity). The bill is of particular interest to community foundations, colleges, and universities. Introduced by Rep. Barbara Kennelly (CT), and Rep. Phil Crane (IL), in the House and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX), in the Senate, the legislation has growing bi-partisan support. 60 members of the House have cosponsored the legislation to date, including 9 Michigan Congressmen. �38 Charitable Giving Relief Act H.R. 2499 would provide taxpayers who do not itemize (nonitemizers) a charitable deduction for 50 percent of cumulative annual contributions that exceed $500. Introduced by Reps. Crane (IL), Berger (CA), Coyne (PA), and Thurman (FL), the legislation is now cosponsored by 108 Congressmen, including 9 from Michigan. Leadership for this legislation comes from Independent Sector. Corporate Giving Bills H.R. 944 would require public companies each year to disclose to their shareholders, the charities to which they make contributions and the amount of each contribution. H.R. 945 would require public companies to let their shareholders decide, each year, what charities should receive contributions and the amount of contributions. Each shareholder (based on the percentage of shares owned) could vote on how such charitable contributions should be made based on the amount set aside for such purpose by the company. Management would retain the right to make additional contributions. The two bills introduced by Rep. Paul Gillmor (OH), in March of 1997 were referred to the Securities and Exchange Commission for study. The SEC report has not been released. The media is interested in the issue, but Congress has shown little interest to date with cosponsorships (H.R. 944- three; H.R. 945- none, none from Michigan.) Several CMF corporate members have expressed their displeasure with the proposed legislation. STATE LEGISLATION HR 5386 & HR 5389 These two bills, sponsored by Representative Kirk Profit, will permit local units of government (townships, villages, cities, and counties) and public libraries to transfer bequests received to a community foundation to create a fund for the same purpose as the donor intended. Both bills have been voted by Committee to go to the House for approval. A similar bill is being introduced to cover school systems as well. The three bills are correcting a grey area in state law and will strengthen partnerships between local units of government, public libraries, and school systems and community foundations. SB 695 Senate Bill 695, which strengthens the definition of a community foundation, was passed by the Senate and sent to the House Taxation Committee. It will not be approved by the Committee at this time due to concerns about the issue of restricting the ability of a new community foundation to be certified for the state tax credit in a county already served by an existing certified community foundation. �39 To begin to address the points in the bill, CMF is seeking an administrative remedy by requesting an updated Revenue Administrative Bulletin on community foundations. Senator Emmons has been most helpful in submitting a letter to State Treasurer Roberts requesting clarification on the definition of a community foundation. Treasurer Robert responded by recommending a meeting with June Summers Haas, Director of the Bureau of Revenue, Legal and Hearings Division. Staff recently held this meeting and a favorable response was given to this recommendation. It is hoped that the new Bulletin will be issued by September and will clarify that a community foundation must have a collection of permanent endowment funds, and not just one endowment fund. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

May Getaway at Yarrow Lodge The theme for the first Family Foundation "Getaway" at the Yarrow Lodge, in Augusta, was "The Blessings and Challenges of Family Money." Judy Barber, from California, noted advisor to families of wealth, and Ed·Parks from Plante Moran, in Birmingham, Michigan, were the presenters for this day-long Workshop. We were delighted to have 25 family foundation members present, including_Amold Langbo, CEO of the Kellogg Company, his wife, and two daughters. They are now considering CMF membership! The Workshop received very positive evaluations, so look for a "Getaway II" in 1999!! Sample Documents The Getaway offered the appropriate setting for the release of CMF's newest publication, Sample Documents for Family Foundations. Produced with great assistance from Linda Paterson, CMF's former Family Foundations Director, this notebook features 28 sample documents ranging from a sample mission statement, to three job descriptions. The notebook also contains these documents on a disk for easy adaptation. The publication is available for $25 to members, and for $40 to non-members. Regional Meetings Plans are underway to have our first regional meeting for potential family foundation members. Julie Cummings, CMF Trustee, has agreed to host this September meeting in her home in the Detroit area. �43 Annual Conference We are excited that Cole Wilbur, President of the Packard Foundation, has agreed to be our featured family foundation presenter at a session appropriately titled, "Growing Pains," as well as the featured speaker as part of the "Conversation With" series. Other concurrent sessions for family foundations will include "Small Grants Big Impact" and "Responsible Stewardship." Individual Meetings Staff continues to meet with CMF family foundation members, family donor advisors to community foundations, and potential donors, upon request. Many leads come from satisfied CMF members who refer their friends. Susan Howbert, Rob Collier, and Dottie Johnson provide technical assistance, and at times ask a CMF volunteer to join them to discuss their experiences with a family foundation. i :ewp:com mittee/brdtrstl98mtngs/fam-l 0 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since the last Board Meeting, two more community foundations have now completed the Youth Challenge: the Greenville Area Foundation and the Community Foundation ofthe Holland/Zeeland Area- making a total of23. Sixty-eight community foundations are continuing their efforts to complete the Youth Challenge when it ends December 31, 1998. We look forward to distributing a number of crystal boxes at the Annual Conference this fall, and even more in 1999! Project Team Up Grants The goal of the Project Team Up grants is to promote collaborative activities that will encourage regionalization, economies of scale in operations, and growth in endowment assets - all resulting in independent community foundations and affiliates better able to serve the citizens of Michigan. The MCFYP Board of Trustees at their May 28, 1998 meeting authorized funding ofup to $200,000 for five Project Team Up Grants, leaving $1.3 million available for grants in the September application cycle. Collaborative Service Grants The goal of the Collaborative Service Grant is to promote collaborative activities that encourage economies of scale in core operating budgets resulting in independent community foundations and affiliates better able to serve the citizens of Michigan. The MCFYP Board of Trustees also authorized funding of up to $20,000 for one Collaborative Service Grant that will allow for the purchase of joint auditing services in the Upper Peninsula for this round of applications, with $80,000 remaining for grants in the September application cycle. Enhanced Technical Assistance Services MCFYP has received an Enhanced Technical Assistance grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for $1.7 million to provide targeted assistance aimed at growing the assets of �..... ·· ·-----·- - - - - -- - - -- - - - - - - - - - - , 47 smaller community foundations and also contributing to economies in their operating budgets. The three goals are: 1. To provide extended on-site mentoring for community foundation Executive Directors and Board of Trustees. Dorothy Reynolds, recently retired President of the Community Foundation for Greater Flint, is providing this service on a part-time basis for CMF. She has already visited with more than 15 community foundations, including a week in the U.P. and is receiving rave reviews for her help. 2. To provide investment advisory services. MCFYP has contracted with Fund Evaluation Group of Cincinnati, Ohio, to provide investment advisory services to community foundations with up to $16 million in assets. The objectives of the service are: • To provide one-on-one technical assistance to 15 community foundations in the asset range of $5 to $16 million. • To provide phone consultation services to an additional 25 community foundations each with assets of less than $16 million. • To provide annual regional trainings. 3. To help community foundations with planned giving. CMF is currently identifying contractors to provide the following assistance: • First Deal Service-to provide up to $2,000 in assistance for 10 executive directors to complete their first planned gift • Phone Consultations • Trustee Phone Education Calls-facilitated conference calls for community foundation trustees with a focus on donor stories, that can provide incentive and information for talking to friends and business associates about planned giving. Community Foundation Academy for New Trustees and Staff The Community Foundation Academy for New Trustees and Staff is a ten-session, five day academy covering community foundation basics in detail. Designed for new trustees, executive directors, and other professional staff, the academy is taught by experienced Michigan community foundation professionals. Extensive resource materials are provided to assist in building local community foundation libraries and files. The academy encourages mastery of current community foundation best practices and operational elements. Ample time is provided for questions and answers and detailed exchange between participants and faculty. This year's academy will originate in Lansing and will be teleconferenced via interactive audio and video links with Marquette and Gaylord. Topics include: 1) History, Definition, and Mission - Characteristics and Roles of a Community Foundation �·····---- ·- - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - . 48 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) Boardsmanship and Board/Staff Relationships Effective Communication- the Community Foundation Message Information Management and Fiscal Administration Serving Community Foundation Donors a) Organizing the Development Function and Working with Donors b) Marketing the Foundation and Planned Giving Grantmaking - How to Design a High Impact Grantmaking Program Scholarships - Establishing and Administering a Scholarship Program Legal Structure of Community Foundations - Allocation of Responsibility Leadership and Convening- Emerging Community Foundation Roles At the conclusion of this year's academy, one-hour videotapes of each of the teleconferenced sessions, along with a three-ring binder including all handouts and resource materials from that session, will be made available for national and international distribution. In addition, a companion publication "Growing Community Foundations- Lessons Learned from the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project, 1991-1998," will be available for distribution in July, 1998. Calhoun CARES Update MCFYP is a partner in Calhoun CARES, an effort to promote collaborative activities around volunteerism and community service in Calhoun County. The Calhoun CARES initiative has focused on: • Encouraging a working relationship between the three community foundations and and two geographic component funds in the county, • Having the members of the five Youth Advisory Committees initiate and implement countywide youth projects, joint trainings and leadership opportunities, • Promoting county-wide awareness of youth as valuable community resources and problem-solvers, and • Assessing the needs and resources of youth, and nonprofit, service and volunteer organizations that serve youth. Highlights of collaborative efforts include: • • • Five inserts to Scene Magazine, a countywide magazine were professionally designed and executed to highlight all three community foundations and two geographic component funds. Each issue focuses on a different topic such as the youth advisory committee, and scholarships. A Countywide Scholarship Fund was established as a joint venture ofthe three community foundations and two affiliates. A Countywide Youth Advisory Committee was organized with volunteer representatives from each of the 5 YACs, resulting in successful youth initiated activities, such as a �49 matching grant from the C.S. Matt Foundation for a Violence Prevention Workshop. As a spin-off from the workshop, local YACs have written and performed skits on nonviolence for 4th grade students in their school districts. After the performance, the YAC members provide the 4th graders with mini-grant applications, help them decide on appropriate projects for them to apply for grant dollars, offer T A for writing the grant, and ultimately assist with the 4th grade project after it has been funded. YAC members have become pen pals with their 4th grade grant recipients, and continue as role models throughout the school year. The Calhoun CARES project has been extremely successful in meeting the goals of the initiative. Between June and November 1998, the Countywide YAC will create and sponsor five community service projects (one for each community) with participation by YACers from all community foundations at each service project. The design, development, and execution of the projects will be youth-led and will be documented in a video for future distribution for other YAC's interested in replicating the process. The participating community foundations and affiliates have formed the Calhoun Community Foundation Alliance and committed to the 5 goals of America's Promise. Computer Project Update --. The Computer Committee is focusing on the reporting needs of the smaller foundations. Currently there are 25 independent foundations that are not on FIMS, and an estimated 10-11 that are on FIMS and struggling with the complexity of the software. The Committee has taken the following steps over the past several months. • • • Added non-FIMS foundations staff to the committee to complement the current members, which includes the original venture foundations that developed the software for this project. Hired Plante and Moran (a public accounting firm who has experience with community foundations) to analyze the reporting needs ofthe smaller foundations and make a recommendation on what they feel should be the next steps to address those needs. Instructed FERA to complete their evaluation of the impact that FIMS has had on the community foundations in Michigan. Following the completion of these steps, a plan will be presented to the MCFYP Board on possible software modifications to address the needs of the smaller staffed foundations. 1998 Mawby Fund for Kids Summer Internship With assistance from the Mawby Fund for Kids, CMF is proud to welcome two full-time interns for the summer. Stacey Hall, alumnae of The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area, is assisting with the planning and organization of the 1998 Adventure Tours Leadership activities. Stacey has a broad background in community service work, �50 including work for a medical mission in Honduras. Janet Bromley, of Spring Lake, is working on her honor's thesis at Western Michigan University, and wishes to rebuild the Western Michigan Youth Leadership Institute, a discontinued program she was involved with as a youth. Janet will be assisting with the Summer Edition ofthe Yackety YAC and other research activities within CMF. 1998 State Youth Leadership Event Adventure Tours '98 is from June 25-28 in Lansing. Two hundred YACers will start with one of five bus tours that feature adventures dealing with environment, transportation, design, theater, and technology. Each tour is intended to provide an opportunity for YACers to see and participate in activities throughout Michigan that they have not seen or experienced before. All participants will gather for the firial two days at Michigan State University for a state rally sharing experiences and participating in sessions focusing on leadership, philanthropy, and youth public policy issues. 1998 MCFYP/Pistons Awards We are pleased to again have the State Awards Program sponsored with the Pistons-Palace Foundation. The MCFYP State Youth Advisory-Board Members will be having a conference call next week to select the YACs to be recognized for proactive grantmaking and community service and the outstanding YAC Advisors. MCFYP State Youth Advisory Board The State Youth Advisory Board will be taking a leadership role in presenting testimony before Senator Schuette and Representative Schower at the Adventure Tours Conference, in Lansing, on a bill that would allow youth ages 16 to 18 to serve on the boards of nonprofit organizations with vote. MCFYP Dissemination Activities Since the last CMF Board meeting, YACers have been involved in trips to: the Midwest Black Philanthropy Conference in Minneapolis; Western Pennsylvania Grantmakers in Pittsburgh; the Annual Family Foundations Conference of the Council on Foundations, in Los Angeles; and the Canadian Community Foundations Conference, in Calgary. More than 500 grantmakers have been reached through these activities. To offer just two examples, YACs are now being started throughout British Columbia thanks to the Vancouver Foundation, and in Saskatoon, with support from the Muttart Foundation. Staff is now working on a second edition of Resources and Guidelines for Starting a YAC. i:ewp:committee/brdtrst/meetings/june98/june98cf � 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 Core Operations March 31, 1998 Internal Statement of Activities. Tab3 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees approve the March 31, 1998 CMF Core Operations Internal Statement of Activities. In keeping with our policy of reporting the year-end actual results compared to budget for the CMF Core Operations, we have enclosed the CMF Core Operations Internal Statement of Activities for the year ended March 31, 1998. The enclosed statements were reviewed and approved by the Audit & Finance Committee during year-end meeting held on May 27, 1998. The Michigan AIDS Fund and MCFYP Board of Trustees have already approved their year-end actual results compared to budget and therefore have been included in this section for informational purposes only. For comparison purposes this memo will deal with the actual year-end results compared to the 12-Month Projected column. As you may recall. the CMF Board of Trustees approved the 12-Month Projected column as part of the financial report that was presented at the February 24, 1998 Board meeting. CMF Core Operations Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets Note 1: Member Contributions With 59 new members joining in 1997-98, CMF continues to experience an increase in membership dues and a favorable variance from budget. Note 2: Conference Revenue & Expenses The special events associated with the 25th Anniversary Annual Conference accounted for the variance from budget in both revenue (which came in the form of contributions from the Host Committee members) and expenses.

We have been afforded full access to all records and received full cooperation from CMF's management. The scope of our audit was conducted as planned and discussed with management in February 1998. Our audit was designed to provide reasonable assurance that errors and irregularities that are material to the combined financial statements would be detected. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the internal control structure for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the combined financial statements. We noted no significant matters relating to the internal control structure and its operation. ----- In today's complex business environment, audit- committees play a vital role in overseeing the financial reporting process. Although reliable financial reporting is primarily management's responsibility, the importance of the Audit Committee and its role has increased steadily over the years. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Division for CPA Firms membership requirements state that the external auditor should communicate certain matters to the Audit Committee at least annually. Such matters have been summarized and included in this report.
