Memo to:

Board of Trustees

From:

William C. Richardson, Chair
Principles &amp; Practices Committee

Re:

Progress Report

The Principles &amp; Practices (P&amp;P) Committee met January 14, 1997, to begin their work
to compose a list of principles and practices for presentation to the CMF Board. The
second meeting of the Committee will follow the March 13, 1997 CMF Board Meeting.
You will recall that it is the Board's charge to the committee to revise the CMF Principles
&amp; Practices adopted in the 1980's by the CMF Board. At that time, the board adopted the
same principles and practices as established by the Council on Foundations. It was
agreed at the November CMF Board Meeting, that CMF's Principles &amp; Practices would
ideally be revised and shared with the board in June, followed by a report to the
membership and presentation at the 25th Annual CMF Conference in November.
A draft document is being circulated to the Committee, that is broadly representative of
the CMF membership. Members include:
William C. Richardson, President, CEO &amp; Trustee
W. K. Kellogg Foundation (Chair)
Dennis L. Bark, Chairman/Trustee
Earhart Foundation
Colleen D. Keast, President
Whirlpool Foundation
Ann K. Irish, President

MARCH 4, 1997
TO:

COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
BOARD OF TRUSTEES

FROM:

Dr. John W. Porter, K-12 Education in Philanthropy Committee
Dr. Russell G. Mawby, Chairman
Kathy Agard, Director

RE:

K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project

Great News! The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has approved our three-year grant request
for $1.5 million in support ofthe K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project. The project
will develop teaching units for the K -12 school systems to integrate the teaching of
philanthropy (giving, serving and the role of the third sector) into the standard school
core curriculum. The sites selected to develop the units will be diversified as to location
across Michigan, setting (rural, suburban, urban), type of school (private, public), and the
racial and ethnic composition of the students and faculty. We hope to be testing the first
units at this time next year. Our research suggests there is an historic opportunity to
deeply integrate these units into the teaching of the social studies as a part of the
implementation and future student assessment of Michigan's Core Academic Curriculum.
As you know, Kathy Agard was hired to direct the project. We are now beginning the
search for a Curriculum Specialist and a Secretary. The staff for the project will be
housed outside of CMF' s offices, preferably in a school setting. Initial work is also
underway to plan a national discussion conference on the teaching of philanthropy, to
work out computer-based networks between the teachers for research and
communication, and to identify and select the teachers who will write the units. The
orientation of the teachers will begin this summer.
The Kellogg grant provides the initial support for the estimated $4.8 million, 5 year
project. We have been in discussion with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation regarding
potential assistance for the final two years. The additional funds must be raised to
complete the project in its full design. A small sub-committee of the Project Steering
Committee is now planning to meet with funders to raise approximately $3 million in
support of the balance of the project. We are grateful that other Michigan foundations
have expressed an interest and we will be approaching them over the next few months.
Please let us know if your foundation would be interested in further discussing the
project.
As you recall, we had previously received a commitment from the Lilly Endowment of
$460,000 to support a special conference on the teaching of philanthropy, and portions of
the Michigan project evaluation. The Lilly Endowment grant is part of a larger $2.2
million companion project of the Indiana Humanities Council. The Indiana project, over

�35

the next 3 years, will develop and test the transmission of the philanthropic tradition
through the informal systems of youth-serving and religious organizations. The two
projects will share the philanthropy conference as a method for building an intellectual
framework for each effort. We expect there will be significant sharing between the
projects as the curriculum ideas develop in each venue (schools, churches, youth
organizations).
The Steering Committee meets again on March 27, 1997 in Lansing. If you have ideas for
the following areas, please let Kathy know.
National Conference on Philanthropy: Thoughtful, credible essayists/thinkers on
the topics of what content should be taught; the issues and philosophy behind
service and experiential learning; child moral/ethical development by age; and student
learning assessment.
Creative. Excellent K-12 Teachers: We will be sending an RFP to schools by the end of
March. If you know of teachers with experience and skill in curriculum design
(particularly in the social studies or language arts), we would be happy to send an RFP
directly to them.
Curriculum Content: We will be providing teachers with background regarding the
content of philanthropy. Any materials which have been important to you regarding the
history, philosophy, traditions, economics, political role, vignettes or related content
material on citizen "private action for the public good" may be very helpful to us . We
would be interested in your "Top Ten" reading list.
Related Curriculum Support: If you know of particularly good children's, youth,
adolescent, adult literature/film/theater/music which support the teaching of giving and
serving, we would like to be made aware of these resources. We are starting to collect
this material.
Service Club: If you know of a national service club with a strong chapter system in
Michigan who might be interested in providing state led, but locally implemented support
to the teachers and schools, we would be interested in a contact person.

CMF Special Projects

As part ofCMF's mission, special projects are undertaken to increase and enhance
philanthropy in the State of Michigan. In preparing the budgets for these projects,
management prepares an estimate of administrative time and expenses as part of the grant
proposal. To staff these projects CMF will use both outside consultants and existing CMF
staff. As ofDecember 31, 1996, there are approximately ten special projects undeiWay:

Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets
CMF
Core Operations
Note 1: Member Contributions

Member Contributions have increased over the prior year and the 1996-97 budget amount,
due to the increased asset levels of our members and 1995-96 being the phase in period
for the revised dues structure.
Note 2: Conference Income

Due to the record number of participants, the 1996 CMF Annual Conference is anticipated
to generate a surplus of approximately $10,000.
Note 3: Equipment &amp; Furniture

The prior year amount of$134,000 represents the cost to purchase additional office space
for the CMF Grand Haven office.
Note 4: Computer

Consulting fees to fix hardware and software problems over the past six months will result
in computer expenses being over budget. To prevent these problems from recurring, the
systems administrator and hardware consultants have been replaced by a local consultant
who is available on an as needed basis. With the addition of the new computer consultant,
95% of the computer problems have been eliminated.
Note 5: Professional &amp; Contracted Services

The hiring of a data input person to work on the lOth Edition ofthe Directory accounts
for the increase from the prior year.

Communications/Publications
1996 Survey of Michigan Philanthropy/Information for Seeking Foundation and Corporate
Grants
The Survey/Information booklet was mailed to Members as a part ofthe February 19th "Memo
to Members." Excerpted from lOth edition, Michigan Foundation Directory data, the Survey
reports on one year of giving by private, community and corporate foundations in Michigan. We
are pleased to report an increase in the number of foundations to 1270, growth in assets by over
17%, and a 6.6% increase in grantmaking dollars for charitable purposes. The Common Grant
Application Form is included as an information tool in the publication.
The Michigan Foundation Directory

3,500 being produced have already been purchased, indicating that this will be another "Best
Seller."

Yackety-YAC
The 10-page, 1996 winter issue of Yackety YAC has been distributed state-wide to 2,000 youth
advisory committee members and adult advisors, as well as to individuals interested in the
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Program (MCFYP). The remarks of speakers from
the 1996 National Youth Leadership Conference, information on upcoming events for YACers,
and national and state philanthropic programs/awards/trends were highlighted.
Developmental Stages of Family Foundations
This new Family Foundation publication, supported by the Frey Foundation, is now in its editing
stage with publication anticipated by the end of March. The purpose of the manual will be to
identify and describe the various stages of development that family foundations pass through as
they grow and mature by highlighting the primary characteristics and issues faced in each growth
phase.
Nonprofit Management Training Resource Catalog
With support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation this Catalog, featuring training resources that
are available to nonprofit practitioners through the state's 15 universities, will be expanded by
July to include the activities of both private colleges and community colleges. The catalog was
developed through a collaboration of the Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan, the
Michigan Nonprofit Association, and CMF. Copies of the first edition of the catalog have been
distributed to CMF members for them to share with appropriate grantees whom they feel might
benefit from its information.

Technology highlights include:
Website
The CMF Website continues to attract visits from grantmakers, grantseekers, advisors, students,
and browsers - 2683 "hits" to date. Links are provided to our members, as well as other useful
sites of interest to our members. We plan to upload the "Information for Seeking Foundation and
Corporate Grants" piece, combined with the "Survey of Michigan Foundation Philanthropy", to
make those easily "down-loadable" on our next update. In addition, we will begin accepting
Visa and Mastercard charges for publication orders over the Internet next month.
Fax on Demand
Two "800-numbers" have been set up, one for members and one for non-members, to retrieve
documents from CMF via fax. Sixty five documents are available. Non-members will be
charged fees to retrieve documents via Fax-on-Demand- recovering our costs.
Listservs
Two listservs have been established, one for First Pearl users and one for Community Foundation
Program Officers. These are essentially electronic discussion groups which use e-mail as a
means of communication.
CD
Staff are exploring the production of a CD as a means of easily disseminating sample documents
to our Community Foundation members, and offering them for sale to non-members.
Increasing Philanthropy &amp; Special Initiatives
Outreach to Advisors
CMF has formed a statewide advisory panel of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and
insurance agents to assist us in preparing materials to support advisor work with clients of wealth
interested in participating in organized philanthropy. All eleven individuals invited to participate
on the panel accepted the invitation with enthusiasm. The committee will meet for the first time
this summer to review draft publications for advisors and their clients, and to devise strategies for
next steps which will include presentations to peer groups, national and statewide planned giving
councils, and professional graduate schools. The interview phase for this effort has recently
undergone an evaluation by FERA which is providing both informative and positive feedback.
Advisor referrals to CMF have increased to approximately 3 per month in recent months.
Staff is also working with a Wingspread group inventorying national resources to support advisor
education efforts, and with a Regional Forum group in developing a plan to create a partnership
with State Bar Associations. A lot developing- we will keep you informed as we progress!
Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative
The Project Advisory Committee continues to meet monthly. Plans are underway to have the
second Annual Seminar held in conjunction with the Annual COF Conference for Community
Foundations in Chicago this September. The C. S. Mott Foundation has increased the size of the
grant request for this Project under consideration to $475,000.

Violence Prevention Project
Eighteen YACs (youth advisory committees) have now received matching grants totaling
$20,000 from this C. S. Mott Foundation funded project. Five ofthe Projects are tied to the
successful Flint Youth Theater Seventh Dream production featured at both the National Youth
Philanthropy Conference this past summer and CMF's 24th Annual Conference last fall. The
five host community foundations are scheduled to be selected by May 1. The regional funders
meetings will likely take place in the fall.
Judging for the Wilmer Shield Rich Awards
Several members of the Council of Michigan Foundations are serving as judges for this year's
Communications Network in Philanthropy's (CNIP) "Wilmer Shield Rich Awards for Excellence
in Communication. " Anonymous CMF Members are currently reviewing a total of 31 annual
reports produced by some of the nation's largest community foundations and will soon submit
their award recommendations. The awards are to be presented by CNIP during the Council on
Foundations' Annual Conference in May.

Community Foundation Projects

MCFYP
On March 1, 1997, the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) had
deadlines for reporting on successful completion of previous challenge grant rounds. Reports
from 25 community foundations were received for a total of $3 million in Kellogg Challenge
Grant dollars to be paid to Michigan community foundation youth funds.
It is anticipated that applications from over 50 community foundations will be received and
processed for the final challenge grant round ofMCFYP on April1, 1997. These applications
will be reviewed by the MCFYP Board of Trustees at their June 12, 1997 meeting. Also to be
discussed at the Board Meeting will be a revision of the 5 year budget, designed to phase and tier
the technical assistance funds for MCFYP over a 5 year period; a review and acceptance of"Best
Practices" for Youth Advisory Committees; and a discussion of rules for the $3 million incentive
grants for meeting community foundation common needs.

YOUTH LEADERSHIP CAMP, July 27 - 29
YAC members and advisors will be returning to Camp Miniwanca this summer to explore
"Personal Responsibility and the WKKF Challenge." Separate tracts are being developed for
older experienced YAC members, the new members, and the advisors to better enhance the
experiential learning opportunities. Camp enrollment will be limited to 150 youth participants.
Primary Group Leaders are being actively sought from the alumni of YAC's throughout the state.
Cost will be based upon the youth endowment size: over $200,000- $125; under $200,000- $75;
1st year YAC's or YAC's with no grantmaking experience - $50.
YAC ADVISOR TRAINING
The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation and the St. Ignace Community Fund will host
advisor trainings on March 18 and 21 respectively. Featured will be sessions on "Tools and Tips
6

�90

for Effective Group Facilitation," and "Risk Management- Keeping it Safe." Both topics are
being offered as a response to repeated requests from the field.
ADVISOR COLLABORATIVES (ROUNDTABLES)
Saginaw, Kalamazoo, and the Grand Traverse Community Foundations will be hosting advisor
roundtables on April21, 23, and 25 respectively. These afternoon sessions will be informally
structured to provide a free flowing exchange of ideas on what has been successful, what has
allowed the success to occur, and common challenges advisors face in working with their YAC's.
REGIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Jackson, Fremont, Petoskey/Harbor Springs, and Marquette will host fall YAC Regional
Trainings in early October. Emphasis will be given to common concerns centered around the
orientation of new members to the operations of a YAC.
ADVISOR CONFERENCE CALLS
More often than not, the YAC advisor is a volunteer who has difficulty getting away to attend
trainings offered. Thus, this fall we will link advisors through conference calls for topical
discussions, and review of sections of the "Resources and Guidelines Manual for Establishing a
YAC."
Michigan CARES
The six pilot communities involved in the Michigan CARES project to design sustainable
volunteer and service plans for their communities are now completing the first year of Phase II.
Continued funding is available through a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to the
Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) for further implementation of the
demonstration projects and planning process. Proposals from all six communities have been
submitted and approved and first year funding has been distributed. Deadlines for second year
Phase II proposals are due April 15, 1997 and will be reviewed by CMF and MCSC staff. Each
Michigan CARES community is eligible for $10,000 in year two to continue the coordination
and support of local CARES initiatives.
Michigan CARES has been replicated in Calhoun County in the past year. Funding provided by
the KYIP ofW.K. Kellogg Foundation to MCSC is helping the 3 community foundations and 2
geographic component funds in Calhoun County find common ground for working together to
address youth volunteer and service issues. Marv King, CMF Youth Project Consultant, has
been retained by Calhoun CARES to provide leadership for the project. Initial activities will
involve county-wide initiatives around the community foundation YAC programs, including
recruitment, retention, leadership training, needs assessments, fund development and evaluation.
The process for institutionalizing the YAC program will be documented by FERA for future
replication in other geographic areas in Michigan.

Upper Peninsula Community Foundation Alliance
With 10 community foundations and 10 affiliate funds in the U.P., the challenge during the past
year has been to both serve this fragile group and also to help them in their efforts to raise the
matching funds for the Kellogg Challenge. The MCFYP Board has approved two years of
support from the special "Common Needs" funds to allow CMF to hire two full-time staff and
7

�91

part-time support staff to provide assistance. Technical assistance efforts have focused on
activities such as assisting with MCFYP applications and obtaining a VISTA volunteer for the
YACs. Fund development efforts have focused on workshops by staff from the Indiana
University School of Philanthropy and presentations to more than 40 corporate leaders,
individuals and estate planners. The cultivation process has begun, but staff have played a role
behind the scenes in two $100,000 gifts. The U.P. Community Foundation has added the word
Alliance and now includes Board members from each of the 9 other community foundations.
There is now credible momentum in the U.P.!

NATIONAL ISSUES
Capitol Hill Visitation
On February 12 and 13, 1997, fourteen CMF Members met with the Michigan Congressional
delegation and their representatives. Joining me were CMF Trustees Laura Davis, Jack Hopkins,
Bill Richardson, Kari Schlachtenhaufen, Ira Strumwasser, Maureen Smyth, and Dottie Johnson.
Other participants included David Haynes, Bari Johnson, Dennis Marvin, Jim McHale, Joel
Orosz, and Dorothy Reynolds.
We met with Senator Abraham, eleven Representatives, including Congressmen David Camp,
John Dingell, Vern Ehlers, Peter Hoekstra, Dale Kildee, Sander Levin, Nick Smith, Fred Upton,
and Congresswomen Carolyn Kilpatrick, Lynn Rivers, and Debbie Stabenow. · we met with
aides to Senator Levin and aides to five Congressmen. We were pleased with the response,
particularly in light of having both sessions of Congress in session, as well as the late
Ambassador Harriman's funeral service.
On Wednesday evening, February 12, 1997, Congressman David Camp, (Midland), House Ways
&amp; Means Committee Member, and co-sponsor of H.R. 519, joined us for dinner and shared his
insights on Congress' view of foundations and nonprofits. Also present were John Edie and
Anne Babcock, of COF, who among other things noted that other regional associations (RAGS)
had met the previous week with representatives from 58 Congressional offices.
H.R. 519/S. 194 Private Foundation Legislation
Time is of the essence, as we seek cosponsors to legislation allowing gifts of publicly traded
stock to private foundations at the market value, rather than the cost basis. The current law
expires May 31, 1997.
Cosponsors to date include:
S.l94:

Senators Abraham (MI), Chafee, D'Amato, Kyl, Moynihan,
Snowe, and Hatch

H.R. 519:

Congressmen Camp (Midland), Canady, Cardin, Crane, Ehlers (Grand
Rapids), Kildee (Flint), Porter, and Upton (St. Joseph)

We received commitments from all other Michigan Congressmen, and we are following up to be
certain each office calls in their support to the aides of Congressmen Camp and Cardin, and
Senators Chafee and Moynihan. (No Michigan defections so far.)

�19

Packets were distributed to each Congressional office, and a copy of Edition X of the Michigan
Foundation Directory will be mailed later this month.
STATE ISSUES
Community Foundation Definition
CMF is working with the Department of the Treasury to gain support of a definition of a
community foundation, which is especially important relative to the decision to grant the
community foundation tax credit. There are further ramifications which will potentially effect
CMF membership policies. David Haynes, Public Affairs Associates, has been helpful in
securing a freeze on the issuance of further certifications of community foundations, until the
definition issue is resolved.
H. B. 4091 Community Foundation Tax Credit
A bill to remove the sunset (every three years) from the community foundation single business
corporate tax credit has passed the House Taxation Committee, March 4, 1997, unanimously.
Introduced by Representative Curtis (Flint), it is a companion bill to the legislation passed in
December 1996, removing the sunset from the community foundation tax credit for individuals.
This means the tax credit is permanent for individuals as are the tax credits for universities,
public libraries, public broadcasting stations, etc. Of course the legislature can remove tax
credits, but it is very unlikely considering the public support.
Lansing Seminar
On March 3, 1997, CMF sponsored the biennial grantsmanship seminar for legislative aides in
Lansing. The 126 attendees heard from Mariam Noland, Bob Hencey (Overview of
Philanthropy), Dennis Marvin (Consumers Energy Foundation), Benita Melton (C. S. Mott
Foundation), Kari Schlachtenhaufen (The Skillman Foundation) and Diana Sieger (The Grand
Rapids Foundation). Participants received packets, and thanks to the CMF Allen Legislative
Fund, will receive complimentary copies of the Michigan Foundation Directory, Edition X. The
Seminar is always well-received.
CMF LEGISLATIVE GOAL STATEMENT
For your information, we are enclosing a copy of the current statement, revised and approved by
the board at the October trustees' meeting. Of course we have removed the four goals
accomplished last year, and have added the new approved goals. We anticipate making good
progress in 1997, working with CMF Members, and our many partners, including the Council on
Foundations, 24 other Regional Associations of Grantmakers, the Independent Sector, the
Michigan Nonprofit Association, and others.

COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
Legislative Statement
March 1997

Philanthropy in America
Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 1995,
foundations and corporations donated more than $17.8 billion for charitable causes and services,
including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, libraries, and programs for the elderly,
and the needy. Today, foundations and corporations are being challenged to increase their
support and charitable donations in the face of major cutbacks by local, state, and federal
governments.

~·

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 27 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 1,200 foundations, as well as the more
than 38,807 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 ofTrustees
to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation
philanthropy. This program was to include a plan to communicate with public policy-makers. A
Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the
program.

�21

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, and
other regional associations of grantmakers 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 mandatory payout requirement has been
lowered by Congress to a flat five percent of foundation assets, the excise tax on foundations has
been reduced, the .65 limit on grant administrative expenses has terminated, fair regulations on
lobbying have been issued, and at the state level, a tax credit for individual and corporate
contributions to community foundations has been enacted. The 1984 Tax Bill relaxed limitations
on gifts to private foundations.
Other changes since then include amending the law, whereby the gain portion of gifts of
appreciated property is not subject to the alternative minimum tax reduction and an affidavit
process for simplifying private foundation grants to non-U. S. charities. In the last year, two
regulatory items have been resolved, and legislation has been passed relating to gifts of publiclytraded stock to private foundations and ownership of S-Corporation stock. On a state level, CMF
has been instrumental in helping to limit the tort liability of volunteers of nonprofit corporations,
to repeal the state inheritance tax to keep donors and their foundations in Michigan, and to
support the repeal of the Michigan Intangibles Tax.
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, and
October 30, 1996.

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 .
Explanation: The Tax Reform Act of 1984 changed the law to permit living donors to
make gifts of publicly-traded stock to private foundations and to be able to deduct the full
fair market value. Unfortunately, the change expired at the end of 1994. Legislation was
passed (August 1996) allowing gifts of appreciated stock to new or existing public

�22

foundations at fair market value between July 1, 1996 and May 31, 1997. It is CMF's
goal to make this legislation permanent.
2.

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

3.

Goal: Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer for a gift to a private foundation of
certain capital gain property.
Explanation: Currently, individual taxpayers may deduct the full fair market value of a
gift 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 tli'e donor's cost
or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The same gift to
a public charity entitles the taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction.

4.

Goal: Pursue legislation which would allow the establishment of a common fund for
private and community foundations.
Explanation: Currently, foundations are not allowed by law to pool their assets. Ideally,
private and community foundations could have an investment vehicle which would allow
for pooling with potentially greater investment returns and administrative efficiencies.
Such a fund is allowed for colleges and universities.

5.

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 inflation be taken into consideration. A portion of the
annual return should be returned to principal.

6.

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

�23

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.

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.

8.

Goal: Establish a small grant rule which would allow grants for charitable purposes of
less than $25,000 to be free of "expenditure responsibility."
Explanation: Currently, if a private foundation makes a grant for a charitable purpose to
an organization without IRS tax classification as a public charity, the foundation must
assume "expenditure responsibility." This is a costly and time consuming function for
private foundations, and most will not undertake the responsibility. Others are
discouraged about the amount of paperwork necessary for a grant less than $25,000.

9.

Goal: Limit lineal descendants who are "disqualified persons" at the level of
grandchildren.
Explanation: In 1984, the law was amended to limit "disqualified persons" to
substantial contributors to a foundation and their children, grandchildren, great
grandchildren, and their spouses. The amendment provided that substantial contributors
will no longer be considered "disqualified contributors" if over a ten-year period, they
make no further contributions to the foundation and do not manage it, and their total
contributions are insignificant in light of substantial growth in foundation assets.
However, there is still no logical rationale - - or examples of abuse - - to justify the
inclusion of lineal descendants beyond the level of grandchildren.

10.

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."

11.

Goal: Protect charitable gift annuities.
Explanation: Many public charities, including community foundations, offer donors the
opportunity to contribute through charitable gift annuities. Under these arrangements,
donors make a substantial gift of property to the charity and receive a fixed income from
that gift for life. At death, the balance of the gift passes to the charity. Legislation was
passed favorable to protecting charitable gift annuities, however, it is being challenged in
court.

12.

Goal: Amend the generation-skipping transfer tax law to extend the predeceased parent
exclusion to charitable lead and remainder trusts.
Explanation: The Internal Revenue Code levies a substantial tax, called the GenerationSkipping Transfer Tax (GSTT), on a donor who distributes property to a grandchild while
the donor's child is still living. This tax is in the 55 percent range, and is levied on top of
the regular estate or gift taxes which may be applicable ... a combination which can total
almost 80 percent. Similarly, a donor may not under current law leave the lead or
remainder interest from a charitable trust to a grandchild without incurring this tax.
Current law does include a "predeceased parent exclusion" which eliminates the GSTT in
cases where the donor desires to leave property to his or her grandchild, and the
grandchild's parent (the child of the donor) is deceased at the time of the transfer. But
this exclusion now applies only to direct gifts and bequests and not to any type of transfer
from a charitable trust. Charitable lead and remainder trusts have become important
sources of support for many charitable organizations, and the impact of the GSTT is a
huge disincentive for donors who would otherwise create such charitable vehicles.

13.

Goal: Change the due date of the first estimated tax payment so that it coincides with the
due date of the Form 990-PF.
Explanation: Private foundations now must pay estimated taxes on their investment
income in quarterly payments. However, the first payment each year is due three and a
half months after the tax year while the tax return is not due until a month later.

14.

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.

�25

15.

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.

16.

Goal: Support legislation to eliminate the classification of realized gains and income,
derived from leveraged real estate investments by foundations, as unrelated business
taxable income.
Explanation: Foundations and 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 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.

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 continuation of the State Community Foundation Tax Credit.
Explanation: Since 1988, individual and corporate donors to a certified community
foundation have been eligible for a state tax credit from the state income or single
business tax.

�26

4.

Goal: Support legislation allowing gifts and bequests received by units of local
government to be gifted to community foundations.
Explanation: While a number of community foundations have funds established by
local public libraries and school systems for scholarships, Michigan law is currently
"grey" on this issue. New legislation, similar to that passed in Indiana, is being proposed
to allow such gifts to community foundations. This will assist particularly with
partnerships needed to sustain community foundations in rural communities.

5.

Goal: Support legislation further defining a community foundation in the State Tax
Code.
Explanation: A community foundation is currently defined in the State Tax Code
pertaining to the state community foundation tax credit. It is important to further define a
community foundation in order to promote permanency and accountability while
avoiding duplication of effort in communities and regions of the state.

6.

Goal: Amend the State Insurance Code to allow a charitable organization, as described
in Section 501(c) 3 of the Federal Internal Revenue Code, to have an insurable interest in
the life of an individual who gave written consent to the ownership or purchase of a
policy on his or her life

Explanation: Currently state law does not allow charitable organizations to have an
insurable interest in the ownership or purchase of life insurance. Some individuals wish
to benefit a charitable organization by use of this vehicle.

The Program Committee enthusiastically endorsed "Connecting People &amp; Potential: A
View to the 21st Century" as the 25th Annual CMF Conference theme. Bob Hencey;
Director of Special Projects, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, eloquently put the theme into
perspective by saying "We in the grantmaking field can best prepare for the future
challenges by continuing to adequately equip ourselves with the necessary, even essential
knowledge, creativity and understanding required by responsible philanthropy as it moves
into the coming century. There should be no question, we are fortunate to be present for
the crossing of the hundred-year threshold. There are wonderful tasks and exciting
opportunities ahead for us. Let us begin this challenge by "Connecting People &amp;
Potential: A View to the 21st Century."
A multitude of excellent speakers were suggested for plenaries. Inquiries and
letters of invitation have been sent to George Bush, Colin Powell, George Soros and
Oprah Winfrey. An opening panel on Detroit's urban renewal is being explored as well.
Several areas of interest that emerged include land use, rural development, devolution and
welfare reform, building philanthropic resources, etc. Technical and topic sessions
include investments, grantmaking basics, ethics, technology, development of community
and social indicators as well as the usual sessions for family foundations, community

�29

foundations, corporate giving, Washington/Lansing Update, etc. The Program
Committee is considering several changes to the format which will be shared with the
board at the June meeting along with a complete schedule of sessions, times and events.
The Committee's next meeting is March 25, 1997.
The conference flyer announcing the date and theme is under development and will be
mailed by the end of March to CEO's, trustees, corporate giving officers, staff members,
investment officers, attorneys, donors and volunteers.

RE:

William W. Allen and Russell G. Mawby Endowment Funds 1997-98 Budget

To allow for real growth of the endowment funds, the CMF Investment Committee and
Board of Trustees have approved a 5% spending policy. The 1997-98 budgeted
expenditures are based on this policy.

William W. Allen Fund
The William Allen Fund has been established to further CMF' s legislative efforts at the
state and national level. The February, 1998 Legislative Trip to Washington D.C. and
distribution of the Michigan Foundation Directory to interested government officials will
be the main activity undertaken by the Allen Fund. In keeping with our 5% spending
policy $4,000 in expenditures has been budgeted for 1997-98.

Mawby Endowment Fund
The Mawby Fund consists of two endowment funds. The first being the Russell G.
Mawby Endowment Fund that was established to honor the work ofDr. Mawby in the
area of increasing philanthropy. The second fund is the Ruth &amp; Russ Mawby Fund for
Kids, which was established to encourage youth to volunteer, to give and to learn about
philanthropy.
In keeping with our 5% spending policy $54,000 in expenditures has been budgeted for
1997-98.

Re:

25th Annual Conference
Host Committee

The first meeting ofthe Host Committee was held on Tuesday, February 25, 1997. The
committee was very enthusiastic about the conference coming back to the Detroit area
because there are so many new and exciting places to showcase.
The Host Committee has seven areas to focus on which include tours, Wednesday
evening reception, program and afterglow, Thursday evening Gala Event, press relations,
transportation, greeters and sponsorship. Subcommittees were formed and will report
back their committee's recommendations at the April 8th meeting.
To give you a flavor of tour ideas, suggestions include visiting DSO and hearing Isaic
Stem in a practice rehearsal; tour DIA' s "Splendors of Egypt" exhibit, tour Museum of
African American History and Arab Community Center, Detroit Zoo, auto barons homes,
theatre district, etc. Entertainment suggestions for Wednesday and Thursday include
Motown Review, Mosaic Youth Theatre, Brazil Chorale, a performance by Jeff Daniels
and The Purple Rose Theatre. Entertainers suggested were Tim Allen, Anita Baker, Tony
Benett, Bill Cosby, James Earl Jones, Diana Ross, Bob Seger, Barbara Striesand and
Lilly Thomlin.

Julie Fisher Cummings, co-chair

From: Richard K Rappleye
David R Lindberg
RE:

CMF 1997-98 Budget

Resolved: That the enclosed Council of Michigan Foundations' 1997-98 Budget be
approved by the CMF Board of Trustees.
The 1997-98 Consolidated Budget for CMF and its supporting organizations has been
included in this tab for informational purposes. The MCFYP budget was approved by the
MCFYP Executive Committee on February 25, 1997. The Michigan AIDS Fund budget
is a preliminary budget which is currently being revised to allow for input from the new
Executive Director which was hired in January.
The enclosed 1997-98 budget for CMF has been approved by the CMF Audit &amp; Finance
Committee and the CMF Executive Committee.
The CMF 1997-98 Budget has been broken down into three section:
1. Core Operations,
2. Special Projects, and
3. Endowment Funds.

CMF Core Operations
Member Contributions
The 1997-98 increase is based on anticipated dues from new members. The 1996-97
projected amount is an increase of$71,000 over 1995-96. Approximately $30,000 ofthe
increase is the result oflast year being a phase-in period for our revised dues structure.
The remaining increase is due to the increase in asset levels of our member foundations.

Additional Member Contributions
The projected amount for 1996-97 includes voluntary additional contributions.

Conference Income
Conference Income includes $271,782 for the annual conference which is scheduled to
take place in November, 1997. This is a slight decrease from November, 1996 as CMF
takes a conservative approach on budgeting for the conference. The annual conference is
always budgeted to break-even.
Publications &amp; Library Services
The 1996-97 amount includes sales for the lOth Edition of the Michigan Foundation
Directory which we anticipate to start shipping in March 1997. The decrease in the 199798 budget amount is due to the decrease in the Directory sales (which is published every
two years).
Salaries &amp; Benefits
For 1997-98 a total wage increase of5% has been budgeted. Wage increases will be
based on merit and may run from 3% to 7% with the total pool not to exceed 5%.

�Message. to
Me.mbe.rs
In 1973, a small group of visionary leaders formed the Council of
Michigan Foundations to grow Michigan's philanthropy and to create a
climate favorable for grantmakers to do their goQd work. Twenty-five years
later and with extreme pride, we share our 1997-98 annual report. While the
report reflects our years of service to Michigan grantmakers, it also highlights our steadfast members, partners and volunteers who work with us to
increase, enhance and improve philanthropy in Michigan.
Mariam C. Noland
Chair

Dorothy A. Johnson
President &amp; CEO

On the inside cover pages of this annual report is a listing of 418
grantmakers who support CMF's work. These grantmakers, united in their
desire to work together for Michigan's future, have made CMF what it is
today: a strong, vital organization, recognized and respected by an ever
increasing number of diverse donors, nonprofits, legislators and citizens.
Without our members, our good work could not have been accomplished.
To them, we give our heartfelt thanks.
As CMF symbolically blows out the candles on the past 25 years, we
simultaneously light the stage for many more years of creatively finding
effective solutions to important social problems. Like many grantmakers and
nonprofit leaders, CMF has found that one of the most effective ways to
speed the process of change is to identify examples of good practice and to
encourage study and attention to them. While we use this philosophy in
structuring all educational events, publications, and programs, our 25th
anniversary celebration gave us cause to release a new publication, Making a
Difference, developed specifically for this purpose. Distributed complimentarily to all who are interested in Michigan's future, the publication provides
representative examples of how CMF members are changing their communities for the better.
There's no doubt that the future will be challenging. From challenges,
however, come opportunities. We hope that as you face new grantmaking
challenges, you will share your needs, concerns, and programs that work so
other grantmakers can benefit .from your experience. Together, we can
continue making a difference in Michigan.

�A number of our
partners joined us
for the 25th
Annual
Conference
celebration.

Under the K-12 Education in
Philanthropy Project, classroom
teachers are developing academic
content about philanthropy and
volunteerism to increase students'
awareness of the tradition of
private citizens working for the
common good. The new lessons,
units, modules, and materials will
be linked to the Content Standards
for social studies and language arts,
and will be used in school systems
throughout Michigan.

According to the Michigan Public
Opinion Survey results released in
·April of 1997, there is a general
public misperception of the
amount of services provided by
nonprofits. The Michigan Public
Policy Initiative (MPPI) addresses
this misperception with facts, and
assists policymakers to better
understand the impact of 'new
federalism' in Michigan on the
nonprofit sector. MPPI will host a
series of informational forums and
seminars for members of the
private, public and nonprofit
sectors during 1998 and 1999 with
a focus on the impact of term
limits. MPPI is a joint venture of
the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Council of Michigan
Foundations, and is supported by
the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

CMF is serving as facilitator for the
Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative, developed to expand the
environmental grantmaking by
shoreline community foundations
from Duluth, MN to Rochester,
New York. Initiated by grants from
the Great Lakes Protection Fund of
Chicago and the Charles Stewart
Mott Foundation, the Collaborative
has already helped to generate more
than $2 million in local endowment
support for environmental needs.
Twenty-one participating community foundations are receiving
technical assistance in fund development, up to $5,000 for technology, speaker fees, and other capacity building needs, and up to
$15,000 to start or strengthen
permanent endowment funds .

How do we begin the strategic planning process?

What are other funders doing in our same area of interest?
What percentage of a foundation's assets is typically spent
on administration?
We want to put some personnel policies into effect-do you
have samples?
We need boilerplate position descriptions for staff, trustees
and co~ittees-can you help?
What software can we use to create and edit our website, and
who is a provider that will host it for us?

For the 1997-1998 granting year, the Fund awarded
more than $1 .03 million in grants and Americorps
volunteer services to 35 AIDS service organizations
around the state. Since its founding, the Fund has
awarded more than $5':5 million to Michigan's AIDS
service organizations,

The
MiGhigan

AID'5 fUND
Since its inception in 1989, the
Michigan AIDS Fund's purpose
has been to serve people with
AIDS and their caretakers by
serving the grantmakers who
want to support AIDS causes.
The Fund earned special distinction during 1997 by becoming
the top grantmaking Community
Partner of the National AIDS
Fund.
More Michigan AIDS Fund
information can be found at Web
site: www/msu.michaidsfund. org/

But the Fund is adding even more value to its grantees
over the next three years through a $175,000 technical
assistance grant from the Skillman Foundation. As
AIDS has become a chronic disease rather than a
certain death sentence, AIDS service organizations
must change their strategies and even their services
to address long-term (rather than the short-term
palliative needs) of people with AIDS, The Skillman
grant allows the Fund to provide strategic planning
consultation for capacity building in this very issue to
nine agencies in southeast Michigan.
Other major Fund projects in 1997-98 have provided
benefits both to grantees and to funders:
•The W ,K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles
Stewart Mott Foundation provided major support for
a series of four symposia on HIVI AIDS service
delivery to help foundations, legislators, managed care
organizations and others decide how best to use funds.
National and local experts on issues surrounding this
long-term epidemic gathered to pinpoint critical issues
and offer consensus recommendations. An abstract
based on the symposia will be published and presented
at the 1998 World Conference on AIDS in Geneva,
Switzerland,
•The Michigan Conference on AIDS was held May 28
· and 29 in Ypsilanti. Keynote speakers and workshops
offered intensive discussions on such issues as agency
collaboration, the role of the faith community in HIVI
AIDS service, and the special needs of women with
AIDS,

Year Ended March 31, 1998

The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and its
supporting organizations-the Michigan Community
Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF)-continue to experience
strong growth in the areas of member support and
funding received for special projects and program
services. Over the past year, MCFYP has received a
grant to complete the final round of community
foundation challenge grants which has accounted for
the increase in net assets from the prior year. Please
note that $27,266,746 of the net asset portion of the
Combined Balance Sheet is designated to be paid out
as grants or to fund special projects that are currently
underway.
Serving the needs of our members has been a top
priority of CMF since its incorporation in
1975. In the past five years, membership has increased from 293 to 418. During this same time
period, CMF has experienced a significant increase in
funding for special projects which are aimed at
addressing our members' philanthropic issues around
the state of Michigan. Special projects that are
currently underway include the following:
W.K. Kellogg Foundation K-12 Education in
Philanthropy Project
C.S. Mott Foundation Violence Project
Great Lakes Community Foundation Collaborative
Michigan CARES
CMF Detroit Office

In addition to the three endowment funds described on
page 20, The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project Board Designated Fund was established by the
Board of Trustees of MCFYP who have designated that all
investment earnings from this project be placed in a board
designated fund for future community foundation programming needs.
Coopers &amp; Lybrand LLP has issued an unqualified opinion on the combined Financial Statements of CMF and its
supporting organizations for the years ended March 31,
1998. Ernst &amp; Young LLP issued an unqualified opinion
on the financial statements for the year ended March 31,
1997. The Combined Statements of Activity and Changes
in Net Assets presented in the Annual Report have been
derived from the audited financial statements, which have
been modified to reflect the detailed expenses of the Allen
&amp; Mawby funds and MCFYP for the year ending March
31, 199 8. A copy of the audited financial statements is
available for public inspection at the Council of Michigan
Foundations' office in Grand Haven, and as always, we
would be pleased to answer any questions you may have
regarding the enclosed financial statements.

~~
Treasurer

Thanks to the generous support of our members, four
endowment funds have been established as permanent
funding sources to help meet our mission of improving and increasing philanthropy around the state of
Michigan. CMF is extremely proud to report that the
four endowment funds have grown to a current market
value of$5,780,704.

The Pistons-Palace Foundation. His many contributions are also well-known on the national and international levels.
The Progran1 Committee has planned a dynamic
series of plenary and concurrent sessions for the conference. From philanthropy's relationship with the
media to the ethics of cloning to welfare reform and
building community assets, there are sessions that will
appeal to the interests of every participant! We will be
joined by such speakers as Charles Gibson,Jeremy
Rifkin,James Kunstler, and Isaac Stern to help us
explore ways to Connect People and Potential and
provide A View to the 21st Century.

In addition, at the request of past year's participants,
there are more networking opportunities this year.

opportunity to see some of the changes that have been
occurring in the city of Detroit. The Committee has
arranged tours of some of the area's most interesting
sites, including the new Museum of African American
History, the largest facility of its type in the world, and
the Detroit Institute of Arts' exhibition of"Splendors
of Ancient Egypt," one of the largest exhibits of
ancient Egyptian treasures to visit the U.S. in many
years. And, for the first time this year, some of the
tours are being offered on Thursday and Friday.
The evenings will be just as splendid as the days
will be educational! Wednesday's dinner at the Westin

Richard, Level 5
The old policies and programs that helped children find
permanent homes are becoming more responsive to the
needs of adoptive families and children. There are several national and state initiatives to change the laws regulating adoption. Although the Binsfeld Commission of
the 1980s produced improvements for infant adoptions,
adoption of older children waiting years for families continues to be a high need. The Bandele program of
Spaulding for Children works with churches in the
African American communi ty to find homes for African
American children. Lutheran Adoption Services operates
the Standby Guardianship Program to help special needs
children find homes.

Selling Nonprofit Hospitals:
Community Concerns/Philanthropic
Opportunities
Marquette, Level 5
While the conversion of nonprofit hospitals to for-profit
organizations could make the health care delivery system
more efficient, less costly, more affordable and more profitable, conversions also raise serious community concerns
about trading the quality of care for profit, and losing a
lifetime of assets built up by the community.

Can Welfare Reform Succeed Without Workforce
Development?
Cadillac A, Level 5

Moderator: Margaret A. Talburtt, Executive Director,
Michigan Women's Foundation, Livonia

Under the new welfare reform,jobs have become the
nation's social safety net for the poor. However, many
welfare recipients lack the skills and competencies to
search and secure a job, and current welfare programs
provide little training and counseling to fill this gap. As
the more able find jobs, states that have implemented
welfare-to-work programs, such as Michigan and
Wisconsin, are faced with what to do with those who do
not qualifY for meaningful work. This session will
address the following issues. What are the job prospects
for unskilled workers? What types of programs work
and don't work to train and provide job search assistance
to the economically disadvantaged population? Are
resources available to provide these services? How might
foundations and community groups participate in the
private-public partnership to assist welfare recipients in
becoming economically more self sufficient?

�For the Benifit ofAll

A first-of-its-kind look at
the philanthropic traditions
of the Great Lakes State
and its people!

Sidebar stories illuminate the
chapters. Included are:
Father Gabriel Richard
Walter Harper &amp; Nancy
Martin
Sojourner Truth
Mary Sagatoo
Caroline Bartlett Crane
Hazen S. Pingree
Roberta Giffth
Katherine &amp; Tracy
McGregor
Henry Ford

The giving of personal time and
finan cial resources to help others is a
long-standing tradition throughout
th e United States. Nowhere has that
tradition been more strongly displayed over the decades than in the
AHisttll'jO!
PhUantllropylnMitfliyan
state of Michigan.
A new book, For the Bemifit cif
All, explores the roots and evolution
of Michigan philanthropy. Through
words and pictures, this informa tive
publication examines the charitable
traditi ons that began in Michigan
long before statehood was granted in
1H37 - in fact, long before Europeans
arrived on our shores. T hrough th e Michigan experience, For the
Ben~fit ,ifAll illustrates how philanthropy in America thrives today at
all levels of our society.
More than 150 pages in length, th e book's attractive layout features historic photographs gleaned from museums and archive collections throughout the state. The straightforwa rd, sprightly writing
style easily engages the reader, yet scholars and historians will find the
content important to their research. "Sidebar" stories illuminate the
lives of the many colorful characters who created a caring society in
the Great Lakes State.

�Grants That Make a Difference
Please give a brief description of a 1995 grant from your community foundation that, in
your opinion, has had the most impact on your community.
Albion Civic Fnd.

Ann Arbor Area
Comm. Fnd.

Berrien Com. Fnd.

In 1995 our Foundation supported classes in the arts at the
elementary and junior high level. These classes were
attended by a cross-section of Albion children and were
taught by professionals in various fields . In addition to
learning techniques, children who might have been left alone
after school were given a safe place to be. It is unclear what
the long-range impact will be, but children, art teachers, and
school teachers have been grateful.
· Child &amp; Family Service (C&amp;FS)- $25,000 award to
fund a Manager of Service Development position for the
Washtenaw County Collaborative Transportation
Implementation Task Force, a public/private, communitywide coordinated transportation project. This project began
in early 1994 when representatives from human service
agencies around the county met to discuss concerns over
clients not able to get to clinical services, jobs, health care
or other appointments because of transportation problems.
As it now stands, this task force has become the County
Transportation Systems Management, a consortium of
community partners working collaboratively to improve
access to opportunities and services for Washtenaw County.
The Golden Acorn Excellence in Teaching Award is a
program to recognize and reward outstanding teachers who
reach beyond traditional methods to affect change and
improve the educational status quo . A total of $16,500 in
teacher and classroom mini-grants were awarded in 1995 .

�Grants That Make a Difference
(continued)

Branch Co. Com. Fnd.

In 1995, the Foundation awarded $1,500 to the Friends of
the St. Joe River Association. This grassroots organization
was formed to address trash buildup, contamination, and
fish depletion in the St. Joseph River and its tributaries. An
initial $1,000 grant was approved for the association for
start-up expenses. The group was later given a proactive
grant of $500 based on their efficient use of the previous
award. "Friends ofthe St. Joe River" has been quite
successful in organizing large numbers of volunteers and has
made significant strides in improving the quality of life in
Branch County. The long-term environmental effects that
this growing, active organization will have on the area are
immeasurable.

Buchanan Area Fnd.

The Foundation is committed to the full automation of the
Buchanan Public Library. This includes weeding out old
books, installing the proper equipment for identifying and
coding books, and the computer hardware and software to
facilitate lending procedures and research enhancement for
all library patrons. We anticipate the entire project may
cover a period of five years and will make our library ready
to join the Information Age in the 21st century. Our first
purchase ($4400) was for software to initiate the project.

Cadillac Area Com. Fnd .

A grant to the Wexford Soil Conservation to assist with
environmental clean up of Clam River.

Capital Region
Com. Fnd.

Perhaps the most visible project funded by the Foundation
was a grant made through two of the Foundation's funds,
the Lansing Fund and the Oldsmobile Classic Youth
Charities Fund. The grant provided for a children's
playground within Oldsmobile Parks, the city's newly
christened minor league baseball stadium. The stadium has
been part of a downtown renaissance which attracts sports
and special-event enthusiasts from around the mid-Michigan
area. Because ofthe stadium, the park and the ptayground,
the city is alive once again with activities bringing families
together in the heart of the State's Capital City.

82

�(continued)
Capital Region (can ' t.)

In concert with the opening of Oldsmobile Park, the Lansing
Fund conducted a buy-a-brick program with charitable
proceeds going for the "betterment of the Lansing
community and the mid-Michigan area." Nearly 4,500
bricks were sold and placed at the Park.

Charlevoix County
Com. Fnd.

Between 1993 and 1996 the Foundation and the Y AC
awarded a total of 14 grants to Raven Hill Discovery Center
for the development of a hands-on science museum. The
museum was the dream oftwo dedicated, local science
teachers. In 1991, they built a small facility using their own
capital to house the first exhibits. Within four years, two
additions to the original building and two new buildings
have been constructed, and attendance has surpassed 27,000
students. The hands-on museum is unique in this area
because it is the only center of its type with a triple
emphasis on science, history and art- all related aspects of
each exhibit.

Com. Fnd. of
Greater Flint

A grant to the Genesee Area Focus Council for the
purpose of supporting the development of the Flint
Automotive Industry Project. This effort has as its focus an
examination of the future of the automotive industry in the
Flint area, which will result in implementing programs and
strategies to retain automobile manufacturing in the area
and to help prepare the community tb diversify its economic
base. The Focus Council is composed of a group of private
sector leaders (both in the corporate and nonprofit fields)
and brings together all the key players in the economic
development arena.

The Fremont Area
Foundation

In 1995, the foundation awarded a grant to Newaygo
County Community Services (NCCS) for operating costs.
NCCS is a nonprofit human service agency that provides
emergency services and many other services for needy
Newaygo County residents . NCCS also provides a variety
of cultural programs such as student art and music contests,
children's chorus, art exhibits, and other arts programs.
NCCS is a volunteer-based organization committed to
meeting basic human needs and enriching the quality of life
for all area residents .

Grants That Make a Difference

�Grants That Make a Difference
(continued)
Grand Haven Area
Community Fdn.

A $3,000 grant to support Camp Bluebird, a pilot program
in the Tri-cities area. Four local nonprofit agencies
collaborated in bringing this unique camp to West Michigan.
In May, 20 adults with cancer spent three days together at
the Camp. This was a time for sharing as well as
participating in group sessions, activities and talking to
medical professionals and pastors, all in an effort to help
them deal with their terminal illness. It was the first camp in
West Michigan and was deemed a success.

The Grand Rapids Fnd.

A $1 million grant toward the new Van Andel Arena has
spurred economic development in the Heartside area and
throughout downtown. The Arena will provide
employment for neighborhood residents. The development
has also had the effect of coalescing residents, advocates,
and social service providers in the neighborhood in an effort
to avoid displa~ement of the low-income neighborhood
residents . Now, plans for an urban green space in the
Heartside area are moving forward.

Gratiot Community Fnd .

Our very first grant was to an elementary teacher who used
the small amount of money to implement a store in her 4th
grade classroom. The students learned the roles of
consumer, businessperson and banker. They learned to
choose how to spend their money, whether to save for a
large item or buy instantly, and how to borrow and loan
money. These young people are receiving hands-on
experience to become productive community members.

Greenville Area Fnd.

The Optimist's Camp for disabled children is the only camp
of its kind in Michigan and has continued for the past 3 0
years with support from alternative education funds which
have been drastically cut. They fear they will have to close
the camp permanently. Currently, we are trying to leverage
permanent support to continue the camp in future years.

Hillsdale Com. Fnd.

A $2,000 grant was given to the Hillsdale Arts Choral. This
money provided an additional performance of the full dress
rehearsal of"Amahl and the Night Visitors for 350 5th and
6th grade students from throughout Hillsdale County. The

Comm. Fnd. ofthe
Holland/Zeeland Area

A 1996 grant was given to The Community Health Center,
a health care facility for health care recipients without
insurance or Medicaid. We believe that this meets an acute
health care need in our rapidly growing community. People
pay as they are able; however, no one is turned away for
medical care ifthey do not have the means to pay.

The Jackson Com. Fnd.

The Jackson Community Foundation made grants of
$125,000 to help organize and start up the Michigan
Coalition for Essential Schools (formerly Mid-Michigan
Education Coalition). This organization was established to
support and facilitate grass roots school change. Since its
establishment one year ago, its influence, assistance and
membership has extended to all parts of the lower and upper
peninsula and surrounding states.

Kalamazoo Fnd .

A grant to funa a Guidance Clinic program that helps
identify parents at risk of abusing and neglecting their
children and offers educational support.

Marquette Com. Fnd .

The YAC recommended a $2,000 grant to Northern Lights
Youth for Christ to sponsor an alcohol and drug free youth
New Year's Eve party. This recommendation was based on
the successful experience of the Y AC planning and hosting
a similar event. The grantee was very cooperative in
working with the community foundation in using more
youth to plan the event and using the results of the previous
event's evaluation by incorporating lessons learned. (See
Pro-active Youth Grants)

Marshall Com. Fnd.

The Marshall Community Foundation supported with
$50,000 Oaklawn Hospital's project to update to state of
the art, helical CT scanning and nuclear medicine
equipment. The availability ofthe new instrumentation
offers the residents of Marshall and surrounding service
areas the most accurate and timely diagnostic tools possible.

Midland Foundation

For the past several years, the Midland Foundation has been
involved in the construction of the Pere Marquette RailTrail of Mid-Michigan, a 22-rnile linear park in Midland
County. The trail, which stretches from Midland to
Coleman, is in constant use and has had a positive
recreational, economic, aesthetic and environmental impact
on Midland County.

Com. Fnd. of
Monroe County

Scholarship programs, Triple Crown Weekend, and the
Holiday Parade.

Mt. Pleasant Area Com. Fnd. $2,000 granted to the Korean War Memorial. The
Community Foundation's name was used, successfully, as a
reference and a backer to solicit funds for this project. The
memorial was bought and placed in the center of the city.
This grant gave the community foundation stature and
prestige and g~ve Isabella County a Korean War memorial
and the knowledge-that they have a community foundation
that is willing to fund and support new ideas.
Com. Fnd. for
Muskegon Co.

Volunteer, Muskegon!, a new volunteer center, opened for
business in Muskegon as a result of an initiative of the
Community Foundation, partnering with the Michigan
CARES project and Michigan United Way. Since its
opening in February, Volunteer, Muskegon! has matched
thousands of volunteer to community projects, presented an
Indiana School ofFundraising training to area nonprofits
and provided a permanent home to the Youth Volunteer
Corps, and other projects initiated by grant funding of the
Community Foundation.

Com. Fnd. for NE MI

The Huron Shores Writing Institute was granted $4,500 for
94 students to participate in a writing workshop. It gave
the participants the opportunity to have a "thinking and
writing" experience - with peer groups, one-on-one sessions
and special presentations on history, poetry, storytelling,
etc. Students from Mulhausen, Germany were international
guests for this event. A cross-culture exchange took place
as well as a literary experience.

Petoskey/Harbor Spring
Area Comm. Fnd.

A grant to the Alanson Area Neighborhood Watch Program
was seed money to support a crime prevention program,
community pride program, and assist with publication of a
newsletter.

Gr. Rochester Com. Fnd.

In our opinion, the category of grants that had the most
impact on our community would be "education &amp;
scholarships." There were 15 grants for scholarships and 3
grants to support B.ochester Community Schools; total for
this category for 1995 -over $20,000.

Saginaw Com. Fnd.

The Saginaw Community Foundation helped fund an all-clay
Racial Harmony Forum in November 1994 which was
attended by over 300 peopl~. The forum, a collaborative
effort of the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce,
United Way of Saginaw County, the Human Relations
Commission of the City of Saginaw, and Saginaw Valley
State University, was organized to begin looking at race as
an issue that is divisive to our community.

Com. Fnd. of
St. Clair County

The mission of DARES is to help prevent or reduce the
incidence of domestic violence, sexual assault and
homelessness through direct support services to victims and
their families. In 1993-1994, the shelter served 327 women
and 282 children for a total of4,322 nights.
DARES was able to build a new, modern facility to meet
the ever-increasing demands for shelter services. After
construction was well along, it was discovered that the
budget did not include funds to meet ADA re_quirements,
namely ar elevator. Without it, the building could not open.
$13,200 was granted for that purpose. Today DARES is
fulfilling their mission and providing this needed service to
the community.

�Leadership Role in Community Foundations
Community Foundations often impact their communities in ways that may or may· not
involve specific grants. Please briefly describe the leadership role played by your
community foundation in the past year of which you are most proud.
Albion Civic Fnd.

1995 was a growing year for our foundation. We
determined the need to "get our house in order" in
preparation for taking a stronger leadership role in the
community. Some ofthe steps that we have taken of which
we are proud: hired a full-time Executive Director, joined
the Nonprofit Alliance; attended the Carver Governance
Training; established investment guidelines and spending
policy to understand how to have more money available for
grants; establish an interboard committee to help connect
with other community and county boards; participated in
discussion with Kellogg Foundation, Michigan CARES and
the other community foundations in Calhoun County which
has led to the establishment of Calhoun CARES. In
September, a group of area nonprofits met to see how to
work together to strengthen our nonprofit boards. We are
still working through the details of many of these items, but
we feel 1995 and 1996 have brought us closer to what we
would like to be as a community foundation .

Alger Regional
Com. Fnd .

The Foundation held a day-long retreat to develop long
range plans for ARCF and Alger Couf)ty. During the retreat
the Board completed exercises in visioning and community
assessment, developed a mission statement, hired an
executive director, and established long range and
intermediate goals for the foundation. Since submitting the
Youth Grant Challenge application to CMF, the Board has
met weekly to develop policies, public relations campaigns,
solicit funds and organize the youth advisory council. As
we meet our first Challenge match, we will now be able to
increase our visibility through grantmaking and community
development and thereby play a larger role in community
leadership.

Ann Arbor Area
Com. Fnd .

The role of which we are most proud is the "spotting or
anticipating problems and acting to prevent them", in
particular as it relates to the issue of dating violence . The
AAACF and its Youth Council collaborated with the Junior
League of Ann Arbor and the Domestic Violence

Ann Arbor Area
Com. Fnd (con't.)

Project/S.A.F.E. House in developing a three-year teen
dating violence prevention program for the county's high
schools and, also, assisted in organizing and sponsoring a
two-day conference that attracted state-wide attendance on
the issue in October 1995.

Branch Co. Com. Fnd.

During the past year, the Foundation has taken an active
leadership role in the planning for our community's future.
In 1995, the addition ofthe Colon Foundation Fund as a
geographic component fund extended this involvement to
the Colon Community School District. As a young
foundation, we are striving to raise the public's awareness
of philanthropy and responsiveness to changing community
needs. We cooperate with other community agencies and
services as a resource for those groups. The Foundation
continues to increase its permanent endowment fund in
order to provic!_e for the current and future needs of area
residents.
-

Buchanan Area Fnd.

One of our smallest grants has had the most impact on our
community. Through the collaborative efforts of a city
activities committee and Buchanan school health nurse, we
provided incentives for using the mobile health clinic of the
area health department for an afternoon a month outside our
area schools at the start of school in 1995. The response
was so overwhelming (over 600 immunizations the first two
months) that the mobile clinic now visits one afternoon
every month. For the first time, Buchanan has access to
health service without the need to drive to a distant
government office.

Capital Region Com. Fnd.

The Foundation has been working with ry.ine other
community funders to establish the position of a Community
Grants Facilitator. This innovative program has been
funded with the dual objective of bringing more dollars into
the community for collaborative problem solving and of
helping area nonprofits determine potential sources of
funding.

Com. Fnd . of
Greater Flint

The Foundation was one of 12 community foundations
nation-wide to receive a $75,000 planning grant (matched
by $25,000 in local funds) from the National Collaborative
for Violence Prevention, a group of private foundations and
the U.S. Departments of Justice and Housing and Urban
Development, in May 1995, and has been engaged in a
neighborhood based planning effort designed to organize
low income neighborhoods to reduce violence in their areas.
It is anticipated that implementation grants of up to
$150,000 annually for two years (based on raising $300,000
locally) will be received as a result of this planning process,
which has involved the Foundation, agencies and
organization that deal with the causes and consequences of
violence, and hundreds of neighborhood residents.

The Fremont Area
Foundation

The foundation has accepted the responsibility for
convening community leaders to develop a county-wide
leadership program. The Leadership Institute for Newyago
County (LINC) will bring together people with diverse
backgrounds to develop their individual leadership potential
and maximize the community resources to benefit the
quality of life in Newaygo County.

Grand Haven Area
Com. Fnd.

We continue our involvement with the Northwest Ottawa
Area Community Coalition which is a collaborative of
concerned citizens from public agencies, private nonprofit
groups, schools, churches and businesses working together
to provide support and encouragement to area youth
families. NOACC-funded programs in the community
include DARE, community policing and parent training
seminars. Neighborhood Centers have been established in
area elementary schools bringing a variety of services to
each neighborhood, each differing, depending on the needs
of the families living in those neighborhoods.

Gratiot Co. Com. Fnd.

With the support of our Board of Trustees and the active
involvement of individual members, the Gratiot County
Strategic Plan has successfully completed the 1996 planning
stage for many segments of Gratiot County. Our board is
collectively or individually involved in many community
programs and projects which are included as part ofthe
Strategic Plan and will work to reach goals and visions of
the Plan.

Greenville Area Fnd.

We have participated in the Coalition for Greater Greenville
(COGG) steering and planning committees, The Healthy
Teen Task Force, and are continuing our help and support
of the development and building of a new district Library.

Hillsdale Co. Com. Fnd .

We are spearheading a drive to raise funds for the purchase
or construction of office facilities which would house many
ofthe Hillsdale County nonprofit organizations in one
location. The organizations would be required to carry only
· the ongoing expenses ofthe building. We view this as an
opportunity to cut the administrative expenses of the
agencies, freeing more of their funds for projects.

Com. Fnd.
of Holland/Zeeland Area

The community foundation has been a catalyst for needed
change in this community by bringing the Holland/Zeeland
communities together into one foundation. Previous leaders
gave us little hope for this to happen. However, in working
with both foundations, a trust developed. The Kellogg
Challenge Program gave us the carrot on the stick we
needed .

The Jackson Com. Fnd.

In its community foundation role, JCF acted as a catalyst for
needed change, leveraged funds to meet this need,
stimulated partnerships and gave technical assistance for the
· creation ofthe Michigan Coalition for Essential School.

Bank Corporation and the nonprofit community is a
collaborative program to train nonprofit board members and
staff in planned giving CEP has brought the community
together in a non-competitive manner.

M&amp;MArea
Com. Fnd.

Although M &amp; M Area Community Foundation is so new
that it has not played much of a leadership role in its
communities, its Board ofDirectors is made up of
individuals who have played active roles in civic affairs for
some time. Looking to the future, the M&amp;MACF would
expect to be heavily involved, not only in leveraging funds
to meet community needs, but to take active part in
community planning and solving problems which cross
county and state lines.

Marquette Com. Fnd.

As a spinoff from a 1994 conference, "Joining Forces :
Strengthening the Circle of Caring Communities for
Children," a team of 7 diverse individuals from the
community created a goal and defined a strategy for
helping to make the community more family friendly . The
result was the "Family Friendly Community Guide';, a
monthly guide containing a comprehensive calendar of
events and articles highlighting community assets that
benefit families . Our executive director played a leadership
role throughout the process and the guide will soon
celebrate its one year anniversary.

·J

Marshall Com. Fnd .

During the past year, the Marshall Community Foundation
has served as a community convener, bringing together two
food banks which function in the same area. We have
attempted to encourage coordination of service and food
warehousing . This process is still in place.

93

�Leadership Role in Community Foundations
(continued)
Midland Foundation

The role which has been undertaken most often in the past
year is one of providing technical assistance to nonprofits:
mentoring fund development; establishing agency,
incubator, or project funds; researching potential
grantmakers for nonprofits to approach; co-sponsoring a
local F ASB workshop; assisting nonprofits to understand
how tax regulations impact their fundraising efforts.

Com. Fnd. of
Monroe County

Plans to erect a monument to those who served in World
War II. Though Monroe County has monuments to
commemorate other wars, none has ever been dedicated to
the World Wars . Also, the County ofMonroe Against
Gangs (COMAG), a collaborative program dedicated to
preventing youth violence and gang activity through
community awareness, intervention and education.

Mt. Pleasant Area
Community F dn.

The Community Foundation was the catalyst for creating a
committee to establish a community center for Isabella
County. This committee is now called the CRC and is on its
way to breaking ground for the first stage of the community
center. The community foundation continues to work
side by side with this project.

Community Foundation
for Muskegon Co.

In 1995 the Muskegon Foundation led a successful $16
million bond issue to renovate the Frauenthal Theater and
L.C. Walker arena. This project began in 1976 when the
Foundation purchased the historic Frauenthal Theater,
saving it from certain ruin and preserving the heart of
Muskegon's vital downtown. Every year since we've
contributed more than $65,000 to its upkeep . However, in
1995 we determined that the building required $7.5 million
in major structural and mechanical renovations. The
Foundation then proposed that the community support both
the theater and a downtown arena with a bond proposal and
led the campaign to accomplish this feat. In November
1995, the community rallied around the project and voted
"yes" to preserve downtown Muskegon's performing arts
and entertainment facilities .

94

�Leadership Role in Community Foundations
(continued)
Com. Fnd. for
Northeast Michigan .

The Foundation has sponsored a Community Leaders
Luncheon monthly during the academic year for the past
several years. It is an opportunity for community leaders to
convene and discuss community issues. It stimulates public
and private partnerships and has. been utilized for
community planning for the future . It also has helped to
develop community leaders by offering a venue through
which an individual can meet and get to know their peers, as
well as share their experiences and learn about the work
being done by other organizations in our community.

Petoskey/Harbor Springs
Area Com. Fnd.

We play a convening role by sponsoring quarterly meetings
of Emmet County nonprofit directors (the Brown Bag
Bunch) to network and share information and resources.
From this has grown the ability to act as one unit when
needed, to share resources and ideas, to collaborate and to
support one anot.ber. Our YAC acts as a catalyst for change
in our community through their role as grantmakers. They
have caused more community groups to look at youth as
assets and to trust and respect their knowledge . By
investing in the development oftoday's youth, we're
helping tomorrow's adults learn about good leadership and
the importance of caring for their community and its people.

Greater Rochester
Area Com. Fnd.

We are proud ofthe leadership role our community
foundation has played in the community by becoming more
visible by convening community discussions that involve
community planning for the future and striving to serve as a
neutral party by bringing different groups together to
address challenges. We have also tried to become known
as a neutral party for community leaders.

Com. Fnd. of
St. Clair County

The community foundation, in cooperation with the United
Way, began a series of meeting with the Leonard Center, a
drop-in center located in the southern portion ofthe City of
Port Huron. The Center serves a minority population.
Over the years it has struggled financially, resulting in the
lack offull-time leadership. Through discussions, the
community foundation has involved the Port Huron Area
School District, the City ofPort Huron and the United Way
in providing support to keep the center open. This
involvement by the community foundation provided
technical and financial assistance to the nonprofit.

Shiawassee Foundation

The Foundation played an integral role in the collaboration
of groups to build a community inline/ice skating rink.
Immediate funding as well as long-range maintenance
funding is established, as well.

The grant for a baseball pitching machine has
served the need of both boys and girls over a
wide age span for a worthwhile activity to
improve a skill while spending leisure time in
a caring environment. Improving a skill also
leads to building self-esteem, which is
lacking in many ofthe participants.

Ann Arbor
Com. Fnd

This issue ofyouth violence/conflict
prevention was a focus. for the AAACF in
1995 . The YAC issued a RFP announcing
$25,000 in available grant funds for
programs focusing on the issue of youth
violence/conflict issues as well as
unrestricted youth programs in the arts,
education, recreational fields, and health and
human services. The $6,650 award to the
Ann Arbor Art Center for the Teen Art
Studio program is the grant that most clearly
met the intent of the RFP . Eight different
student-designed programs at neighborhood
centers across Ann Arbor served low income
teenagers for eight weeks .

Berfien Community Foundation, Inc.

The Link Crisis Intervention Center was
awarded a $5,000 grant in the spring of 1995
to support the Youth Peer-to-Peer
Counseling Program. This program provides
training for youth to act as peer counselors
for runaways, homeless and at risk youth.
Through weekly training sessions the youth
learn skills that allow them to confront issues
and to act as peer counselors i~ a~
nonjudgmental manner .

Branch County Community Foundation

The grant given to Lakeland Elementary in
199 5. This money was issued to establish a
peer mediator training program, modeled
after the one used in Flint. The mediators
assist their fellow students by teaching them
a problem-solving process, so that
disagreements can be resolved without
physical or verbal aggression. Students are
trained to listen and offer positive feedback
to their peers who are dealing with conflicts.

Buchanan Area Com. Fdn.

The Y AC provided suggestions for and
funded a Teen Info Card initiated by the
Buchanan Community Schools Drug Free
Schools Committee that lists a variety of
"hot lines" and help agencies for teen issues
-from AIDS to pregnancy to drug
intervention services. The cards were
distributed to every middle and high school
student in our area. If the proof is in youth
response, this project was needed and
appreciated .

Cadillac Area Community Foundation

Eric Chester Leadership and Self-Esteem
Training Day for all high school students.

Capital Region Community Fnd.

TheY AC funded five programs in 1995 that
specifically met the criteria targeted in their
youth assessment survey. In each case,
Youth PAC was judicious in selecting only
those programs that were valued by peers
and which were perceived of being of long
term benefit to community problem solving.
Programs funded were both preventative and
treatment oriented, although a prevalent
theme was programs that dealt with teens as
parents or as potential parents.

25 Proactive Youth Grants
(continued)
Charlevoix County Community Fnd .

The YAC decided to focus on two of the major
needs, scarcity of recreational activities and
facilities and the lack ofthings to do, and expand
existing programs and facilities and create new
opportunities. Three grants were made to
purchase new field equipment and to support
major facility renovations for expansion of the
county-wide soccer program. In addition, three
multi-year awards provided early financial
support for the establishment of a teen activity
center; the construction of an official size,
outdoor ice hockey arena; and the development of
127 miles of recreational trails in a three county
area.

Comm Fnd. of
Greater Flint

The County-wide Youth Initiative Program
to Mott Children's Health Center to support
re12rinting the Youth Yellow Pages. This
represents the fourth printing of this pocketsize directory of services for youth, which is
a testimonial to its popularity.

The Fremont Area
Foundation

The YEAR (Youth Echoes About Reality)
Youth Advisory Committee gave a grant to
White Cloud Public Schools' Cultural
Diversity Day program to hire a speaker.
Although the promotion of cultural diversity
was not found to be a primary need of
Newaygo County's youth, the speaker did
address other issues of concern to our young
people. The focus on accepting and
understanding other people for who they are
and promoting every individual's self-worth
helped youth to appreciate themselves, their
inherent value, and to avoid self-destructive
behavior.

Grand Haven Area Community Fnd.

The Youth Committee of the Grand Haven
Area Community foundation responded to
the need for a community youth center by
granting $10,000 to a local church that
sponsors a music and dance club for teens in

the Tri-Cities area. Approximately 350
young people from lakeshore area high
schools attend the Friday night dances in a
safe and drug-free environment. The club is
overseen by a volunteer board of directors
who responded to the need for a "positive,
safe and absolutely fun place for teenagers."

The Grand Rapids Foundation

A $1 0, 61 0 grant to the Grand Rapids
YWCA allowed implementation of the
Choices program, of a life-skills program for
adolescent girls age 12-14. The program
develops self-esteem, self-awareness and life
skills. It was offered to students attending
Park School, the Grand Rapids Public
School for pregnant teens and teen-age
-mothers. Research has shown that the
program will help prevent girls from getting
pregnant for a second time, by helping them
recognize that they have choices in their
lives.

Greenville Area Foundation

Baby Think It Over, a program to fight
teenage pregnancy. These computerized
dolls were provided to the 8th grade middle
school children. Both male and female
students had the opportunity to care for a
"newborn baby" for two or three days.

Hillsdale County Com. Fnd.

The grant to the Waldron Public Library was
the most successful pro-active grant made by
the youth in 1995. This grant for a computer
and accessories encouraged the library to
provide staffing for after school use, thus
creating a new after school activity for
youth. An additional spin-off _was the
creation of a youth auxiliary for the library
which continues to meet regularly.

Community Foundation ofthe
Holland/Zeeland Area

The grant for start-up cost to Child
Development Services. This is a prevention
program that has long-range benefits for our
young people. With good supervision and
leadership, this could help needy families
have child care that gets them started in the
right direction. Our needs survey indicated
that poor home conditions lead to teen
pregnancy, drug use and abuse, crime, etc.

The Jackson Community Foundation

To promote the necessity of youth
understanding the importance of prejudice
and its profound effects, the Jackson Youth
Advisory Committee (Yes for Youth) funded
an educational outreach program associated
with the production of "The Diary of Anne
Fr&lt;1nk." This included an exhibit that
highlights the plights of Jewish children
during World War II and a two day forum
with speakers who made presentations on
actual experiences. This was delivered to all
8th grade students in Jackson County.

Kalamazoo Foundation

Kalamazoo Deacon's Conference--to initiate
a program that focuses on community
awareness, activities, and involvement for
drug users, dealers, or any youth ages 12-18
who make a commitment to try to stay drug
free. Weekly activities will be planned and
community members with similar experiences
will be available to offer support and advice
to youth. It is also hoped that this program
will be successful in connecting youth with
resources offered by the Deacon's
conference and other networking agencies
addressing needs such as job tr.ainlng and
employment counseling.

Marshall Community Foundation

A grant to enable Marshall students to
participate in the Alaska Great Lakes
Project. It provided Marshall students first
hand exposure to Prince William Sound that
was polluted by the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
Students researched the area and the effects
the catastrophe had on wildlife and
vegetation. Students then visited the Great
Lakes to compare pollution effects in that
area. This project's participation has
increased significantly over the year.

Com. Fnd. of
Monroe County

Youth Leadership Monroe. A program
designed to develop the leadership potential
-ofa(ea high school students and encourage
young people to participate as leaders in
their schools and communities.

Mt. Pleasant Area Community Fnd.

TheY AC funded two area schools afterprom activities. The parties were so
successful in keeping the youth in controlled
but fun environments, that the Y AC decided
to offer $100 to each school that organized
an after-prom event and open it to all
students attending the prom.

Community Foundation for
Muskegon County

In the past three years, the Muskegon Y AC
has granted over $30,000 through a Summer
Mini-Grant Recreation Program. The Minigrant program was created by the Y AC in
response to both our needs assessment and
speakers who concurred that one of the most
vulnerable age groups for gang recruitment
and choices leading to school dropout was
I 0 to 16. The Summer Mini-grarrt program
funds positive summer experiences and has
allowed thousands of youth to participate in
projects as diverse as Theater On Wheels to
Volunteer Teen Graffiti Removal Teams.

Com. Fnd
for Northeast Michigan

The P AAMY AC granted $2,200 to itself to
their first "Outstanding Youth ofNortheast
Michigan Report"- an eight-page tabloid in
The Alpena News. The report showcased 78
youth from our four-county area with
pictures of each youth and a brief report of
their accomplishments. The criteria for the
report was that the youth had to ( 1) be
involved in individual or group activities
which have made a positive contribution to
his or her community, or (2) overcome an
obstacle and go on to achieve success. Our
Y AC wanted to give these youth recognition
that so often goes unnoticed because they
may not be sports heroes or in the top ten
percent of their class. We wanted to help
build self-esteem in these outstanding young
people and show them how proud we are of
them. It was a wonderful success and has
become an annual project.

Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area
Community Foundation

A grant totaling $3,000 to the Littlefield
Public Schools to start an afternoon school
childcare program in the school.

Greater Rochester Area
Community Foundation

The grant that had the most impact on youth
in 1995 was the $400 youth grant that our
youth committee granted in prizes for
students in two districts that responded to
an essay contest. The essay contest was
orchestrated by our youth committee to
reach grades K-12 about youth involvement
and how to addresses changes needed for
youth in the community. Literature was
circulated to approximately 16,200 students
in two districts.

RESOLVED further: that Zachary Smith, of the Ann Arbor Community
Foundation, be appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Michigan Community
Foundation Youth Project for a two-year term ending 1998.

Ms. Patricia Johnson reviewed the Project's progress during the year noting that there is
approximately $5.4 million remaining in the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Challenge, and
that nearly all 83 counties are now served by 72 community foundations and affiliate
funds. The twenty community foundations have now met the $1 million Youth
Challenge. The 1,300 youth involved in Youth Advisory Committees have now awarded
over $2.6 million in 1,708 grants from the permanent youth funds established by the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation Challenge.
Ms. Johnson reported that the National Youth Philanthropy Conference, held in Grand
Rapids on July 25 - 27, 1996, was a great success with more than 800 enthusiastic
participants, including nearly 600 youth. Community foundation representatives from 25
states and Canada, national funders, youth-serving organizations, and Michigan Youth
Advisory Committee (YAC) members, and their advisors came to share and learn about
the tremendous success of the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project (MCFYP)
and other models for engaging youth in philanthropy. Special speakers included Bob
Love of Chicago Bulls and Jeffrey Canada, a leading expert on violence prevention
programs.
The Detroit Pistons joined the MCFYP Statewide Youth Board in honoring four YAC
members, three YACS, and three advisors, in three award categories: Innovative
Community Foundation/YAC Awards, Exemplary YAC Member Awards, and
Outstanding YAC Advisor Awards. The recipients will be recognized during half-time at
a Detroit Pistons game on October 27. Plans are underway for the second annual
Community Service Awards.
Released during the National Conference were three new CMF publications
highlighting MCFYP. They include:

•

"Get Into Action", a brochure developed to introduce MCFYP and the concept of
youth as philanthropist;

•

"Growing Community Foundations/ Empowering Youth'~ a publication authored by
Karin Tice, Ph.D., the evaluator on MCFYP, that presents lessons learned and
recommendations for replication of MCFYP;

•

"Guidelines and Resources for Establishing a Youth Advisory Committee", a resource
manual for community foundations or organizations that wish to establish Youth
Advisory Committees authored by Terry Langston, Youth Program Director.

Ms. Johnson commented that technical assistance continues to be important with 40
training sessions serving more than 1200 people in the past year, an increase of300 from
the previous year. She added that 33 foundations are involved in the computer project
and a special pilot is being conducted in the Upper Peninsula to link the new community
foundations as satellites to the well-established FIMS (Foundation Information
Management System) sites at the Marquette Area Community Foundation and
Community Foundation of Delta County.
In terms of future plans, Ms. Johnson noted that revision of the terms of the Kellogg III
Grant involving technical assistance and challenge grants to promote mergers and
affiliations between the community foundations is a priority for the spring. She
commented that the YACS have two opportunities in this next year to leverage additional
funds: twenty $1000 challenge grants for violence prevention from the C. S. Mott
Foundation, and twenty $1000 challenge grants for collaboration with Americorps from
the Partnership for National Service.

And further, that Mary Fisher, a retiring Trustee, be named the first Honorary Trustee of
the Fund.
Mr. Glenn Kossick reviewed progress of the Fund in the past year by highlighting several
of the accomplishments noted in the Report mailed to the Committee.
•

- 341 attended the annual Statewide Conference on AIDS - rated the best ever put on
by the Fund. In addition, special conferences were held for 325 peer educators, and
for 168 physicians and health care providers concerned about AIDS in rural
communities

•

-Total funds raised in 1995-95 amounted to $912,870- exceeding the goal of
$900,000.

•

- 34 grants totaling $664,909 were awarded in the 1995-96 grant year - the fifth year
of grantmaking by the Fund. About half of the grants were made in Southeastern
Michigan where nearly 70% of the AIDS cases have been reported.

•

- the Fund leveraged additional support from the National AIDS Fund and the Center
for Disease Control - adding almost $340,000 for projects in Michigan.

Mr. Kossick commented that Harder &amp; Company, evaluator of the National AIDS Fund
and evaluator of the Michigan AIDS Fund, presented two sessions, "Five Year MAF
Summary Outcomes" and "Long Range Implications for the Fund" at the Summer
Retreat Meeting of the MAF Board. Mr. Harder will be making a brief presentation to
the CMF Board at its October 30 Meeting on the results of this evaluation, which
confirms that the Fund is a national model for collaborative grantmaking.
In addition, Mr. Kossick noted that several new Greystone staff are now assisting MAF.
Specifically, communications expert Lynn Afendoulis is producing the new Journal of
the Michigan AIDS Fund- the first issue of which will be distributed at CMF's Annual
Conference. Mr. Kossick added a special note of appreciation for the fine work of
Schipper, who will be stepping down as Executive Director in 1997 once a new Director
is recruited.

There being no further business to come before the Supporting Organization Committee,
the meeting adjourned at 2:20p.m.

Memo To:

Board of Trustees

From:

Dorothy A. Johnson

Re:

President's Report

13

I am pleased to share with you current CMF activities not elaborated upon in other
sections of this board mailing.
Grant-Tracking Software Seminar
At the request of family foundation members and small staffed foundations, CMF has
retained the firm of Henry Bromelkamp &amp; Company, of Minneapolis, to develop a simple
grant-tracking software that operates from a windows/access platform. Nearly 50
respondents to our recent technology survey of CMF members, indicated that they do not
have any grant-tracking software in place. Current software packages sell for a minimum
of$5,000 and do not meet basic needs.
Thirteen members joined staff for a successful workshop with Henry on August 16 to test
the software and try it out by entering their own grant data. The product "first pearl" will
be showcased at the Annual Conference, and at a one-day training workshop, scheduled
in November, for members that decide to purchase the product. Michigan grantmakers
will have one year to bring First Pearl from CMF for less than $2,000, including a share
of the development costs. It is going to be marketed nationally at a cost of$4,850.
Detroit Area Grantmakers
The Detroit Area Grantmakers' Program Committee met and finalized the 1996-97 series.
Ten sessions are offered focusing on issues such as violence prevention, the health
delivery system, museum tour and theatre revitalization, and community building. . The
series began September 10, 1996 and runs through May 13, 1997. Karl
Schlachtenhaufen, The Skillman Foundation is committee chair, and Steve Nedwicki of
Comerica is vice chair. The September and October meetings were very well received
with over 50 attendees at each session.
Greater Grand Rapids Donors Forum
Twenty grantmakers participated in the October 16 session on Are You Ready for the
Shifts in Governmental Funding? Additional meetings are planned for: February 12Community Strategic Planning; and April 23 - Investments: Choosing the Right
Investment Counselor.

Michigan Women In Philanthropy
On September 20th, forty grantmakers met in Lansing to hear speakers address "A New
Era: The Community Responds to Violence Against Women." Model programs,
Michigan law, and the community's response to domestic violence were topics discussed.
Margaret T. Smith chairs the interest group of the Michigan Women In Philanthropy. An
informal session is planned for Wednesday afternoon at the 24th Annual Conference to
discuss the future direction of MWIP. Sandy Katt is currently \YOrking with the
Kalamazoo Foundation to assist in the formation of a Kalamazoo Women in Philanthropy
group.

Literature &amp; the Professions
Thirty CEO's and program officers participated in the August 21 &amp; 22 seminars, which
this year had a theme of"doing right." Sponsored by the Frey Foundation, the -W.K.
Kellogg Foundation, and CMF, this is the third year of a most successful program, which
uses literature as an aid to the prompting of discussion of current issues concerning
grantmakers.
Communications/Publications

Annual Report
You have each received a copy ofCMF's 1995-96 Annual Report. It is now being
distributed to RAGs, philanthropic organizations, State and national legislators, nonprofit
collaborators, the media and the public.
The Annual Report text was written by Judy M. Carl, director of communications, and
RobertS. Collier, vice president and CEO. Consultant in residence Robert E. Hencey, on
loan from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, provided layout and design, as well as
production oversight. Please ask the office for extra copies that can be shared with
friends, business associates and other potential members.

Developmental Stages of Family Foundations
This new Family Foundation publication is being written for publication and distribution
in January, 1997. The purpose of the manual will be to identify and describe the various
stages of development that family foundations pass through as they grow and mature by
highlighting the primary characteristics and issues faced in each growth phase. The ideas
presented will be drawn from CMF' s experience in working with family foundation
donors, trustees, staff and family members and from writings about the subject of family
foundations that have been produced within the broader field. The publication is being
supported by an additional grant from the Frey Foundation and is being authored by
Linda Patterson and a professional writer, Nancy Burke Smith.

Nonprofit Management Training Resource Catalog
A new catalog has been published identifying management training resources that are
available to nonprofit practitioners through the state's 15 universities. The catalog was
developed through a collaboration of the Presidents Council, State Universities of
Michigan; the Michigan Nonprofit Association; and CMF. It was funded by a W.K.
Kellogg Foundation grant and written by a consultant contracted by CMF. The catalog
will be useful to the four nonprofit training organizations located in Michigan and to
individual nonprofit organizations faced with time and resource constraints that preclude
their participation in traditionally designed academic management courses. Copies of the
catalog will be distributed to CMF members at the Conference for them to share with
appropriate grantees whom they feel might benefit from its information.

Law &amp; Responsibilities: A Primer for Trustees, Directors and Officers of Michigan
Private Foundations
Prepared by CMF's legal counsel, Clark Hill P.L.C., this new publication will be featured
at the Annual Conference's Thursday aftemo~n session titled Ethical &amp; Legal
Responsibilities of Trustees. This 30 page publication is modeled after the well received
CMF hospital paper. We are grateful to CMF Trustee Peter Thurber and to Leonard
Smith for contributing quotes and to CMF Trustee Margaret Smith for chairing the
session.

The Michigan Foundation Directory
9th Edition
Over 3,500 copies were printed in November 1994. We have completely sold out! with
revenue topping $106,500. New software has been installed which will allow CD-ROM
and On-Line service in the future.

lOth Edition
Research is well underway with the mailing to foundations for their fmal approval
scheduled for November, with a January 1997 release date. The Survey of Grants has
been expanded from 10 to 26 categories to reflect the breadth of foundation giving and to
allow grantseekers to focus their fundraising.

Common Grant Application Form
Forty-nine (49) grantmakers now accept or require the Common Grant Application Form.
First adopted in March of 1995, the Form was revised this past Spring. The committee
members next challenge is the creation of a "common reporting/evaluation form."

Information Services

Library Services
April, 1996 throu~h August 31, 1996
The Library staff continues to offer support for the information and research needs of
members, trustees and staff. Special projects for this period include the provision of
educational materials for the Philanthropy, Social Services and Religion Conference, the
National Youth Philanthropy Conference, Detroit Area Grantmakers, Community
Foundation Leadership Academy Series, Youth Regional Trainings, and Michigan
Women in Philanthropy meetings. In addition, research support for CMF's ongoing
grantseeking activities was provided, including work on the Great Lakes Project, the
Escheats Project, and the Violence Initiative. A records management plan was initiated
and implemented.
As of August 31, 819 Community Foundation Resource Files have been scanned
into the computer and converted into manipulable files as well as saved as images. This
project is projected to be complete by Aprill, 1997.
If the first six month totals are any indication it should be another record-breaking year
for information services at CMF. Special projects undertaken in the month of September
include research for the state of Michigan Fisheries project RFP, research for the Prague
office of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation on giving options for corporations, as well
as several copyright permission requests.

Improving Philanthropy

K-12 Education Project
Michigan's component of the K-12 Education Project proposal has been submitted to the
Lilly Endowment and W.K. Kellogg Foundation. We are partnering the project with the
Indiana University Center on Philanthropy's companion project to transmit the values of
philanthropic behaviors through Youth Serving Organizations. Other national and state
funders will be contacted when appropriate.
Community Foundation Projects

MCFYP
On September 1, 1996, The Michigan Community Foundations Youth Project (MCFYP)
had deadlines for reporting on successful completion of previous challenge grant rounds
and for applications for Round 11, the second to last application period for the Youth
Project.
Reports from 23 community foundations were received and a total of$2,583,000 of
Kellogg Challenge Grant dollars will be distributed to Michigan community foundation
youth funds in the next several weeks.
Applications from 27 community foundations have been processed for Round 11 of
MCFYP. These applications, requesting over $3 .6 million, will be reviewed by the
MCFYP Board ofTrustees at their Oct. 8, 1996 meeting. Also to be discussed at the
Board Meeting will be the piloting of "hub" and "satellite" FIMS relationships for
community foundations in the Upper Peninsula. This pilot project will allow larger
community foundations to provide computer accounting services via modem for smaller
neighboring community foundations in the UP. If successful, the model program will be
introduced throughout the state providing considerable cost savings to small community
foundations.

Michigan CARES
The six pilot communities involved in the Michigan CARES project to design sustainable
volunteer and service plans for their communities are now in the first year of Phase II.
Continued funding is available through a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to the
Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) for further implementation of the
demonstration projects and planning process. Proposals from all six communities have
been submitted and approved.
Michigan CARES has been replicated in Calhoun County over the last several months.
Funding provided by the KYIP ofW.K. Kellogg Foundation to MCSC is helping the 3
community foundations and 2 geographic component funds in Calhoun County find
common ground for working together to address youth volunteer and service issues.
Marv King, CMF Youth Project Consultant, has been retained by Calhoun CARES to
5

�6

provide leadership for the project. Initial activities will involve country-wide initiatives
around the community foundation YAC programs, including recruitment, retention,
leadership training, needs assessments, fund development and evaluation. The process
for institutionalizing the YAC program will be documented by FERA for future
replication in other geographic areas in Michigan.

UP Project
At the request of the Kellogg Foundation's Kellogg Youth Initiatives Partnership (KYIP)
in Marquette and Alger Counties and CMF, the nonprofit economic development firm
Northern Initiatives in Marquette has completed a fund development analysis for the
Upper Peninsula. The creation of five field of interest funds for the U .P. has been
recommended, and thirty three major companies have been targeted with a goal of $2.6
million over the next two years. In addition, new CMF U .P. Staff will be developing an
innovative partnership with organized labor in the U.P., for example the development of
permanent teacher mini-grant endowment funds. The goal is to have up to $2 million in
additional Kellogg Challenge funds go to the community foundations of the U.P. before
the end of the Program. New CMF staff, Jim Krenek and Gary LaPlant coordinated two
successful one day workshops in Street. Ignace and Iron Mountain with Jim Gillespie
from the Indiana Center on Philanthropy as fundraising consultant. The KYIP Program
supported this effort and continues to provide scholarships to the Annual Conference.

Great Lakes Community Foundation Collaborative
Representatives from the 39 shoreline community foundations in the Great Lakes Basin
(17 outside of Michigan) are meeting for a special one day workshop on October 30 at the
Amway Grand Plaza to launch this two year initiative funded by the Great Lakes
Protection Fund with additional support requested from the C. S. Mott Foundation. The
Collaborative goals are to: increase the awareness of community foundation staff and
trustees to Great Lakes environmental issues; to strengthen the convening ability of
community foundations on environmental issues; and to expand existing and develop new
environmental grantmaking. Sheila Leahy, who has previously worked for both the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation and the Donor's Forum of Chicago, has been retained as lead
consultant. The out state guests are being invited to stay for our CMF Annual
Conference.

Community-Based Health Care Reform Symposium
On October 30, CMF is also co-sponsoring a one day Symposium with the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, the Michigan Department of Public Health, and the Michigan Public Health
Institute. Attendance at the Symposium is projected to exceed 150, and more than 30
community foundations are being invited to send representatives. The focus of the
Symposium is to showcase exemplary models of community base health care reform and
lay out future challenges for Michigan's communities.

Partnership for National Service- Service as Strategy Initiative.
CMF has received a $110,000 grant- one of three awarded to RAGs- to work with four
of the Michigan CARES community foundations -Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, and
6

�7

Muskegon- to strengthen their relationships with local AmeriCorps projects. An added
feature of this grant is twenty $1,000 challenge grants to YACs to promote community
service. This one year grant has been made possible due to the opportunity to leverage
Michigan CARES funds and both local an:d state funds raised for the Michigan Nonprofit
Association Romney Challenge to create permanent endowment funds for volunteer
centers.

Youth Leadership Camp
The 1997 Youth Leadership Camp has been scheduled for July 29 - August 1, 1997. The
camp will be held at Camp Miniwanca in Shelby, Michigan. The Camp committee will
begin planing for the camp in November, 1996. The committee will be chaired by YAC
Advisor and a YAC member.

Regional Youth Leadership Trainings .
140 YAC members participated in the Fall regional youth leadership trainings held
October 1 (Detroit), October 2 (Berrien), October 3 (Gaylord), and October 12
(Escanaba). The one day workshops explored the issues of youth violence and
involvement of youth in community service. Woodrow Greene and Damaugieo Jones of
the Flint Youth Violence Initiative and Michael Priller of Community Partnership with
Youth from Indiana were the lead trainers.

YAC Advisors Training
Twenty four advisors attended the advisors retreat for YAC Advisors held at Camp
Highfields. The retreat focused on facilitation skill development and risk management.
Additionally, the YAC advisors were able to share and network among one another. The
Advisors look forward to future opportunities of this kind for networking.

· State Youth Board
The Statewide Youth Board met September 14-15 at Olivet College to discuss
recruitment, planning for the second annual awards program, and potential projects with
Olivet College. In addition, the members assisted in developing the RFP Process for the
Violence Prevention and Service Grants. The next meeting will be held in January 1997.
Board member Karl Pardow from Marshall is being recommended for appointment to the
MCFYP Board.

Violence Prevention Project
The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has awarded a grant of$210,000 to launch a
Violence Prevention Project. Through a series of similar activities in five regions of the
state, at least 100 funders and 30 state policy makers will be briefed on violence
prevention strategies, five town hall meetings will occur, four academic research seminars
will be sponsored by the Michigan Public Health Institute, and 20 YACs will receive
matching $1,000 grants to fund youth violence projects. The five host community
foundations (yet to be determined) will receive financial support to both staff these

Additional funding for a civic journalism component will be sought from the Gannet
Foundation and Booth Newspapers.

NATURE OF EMPLOYMENT

This handbook is intended to provide employees with a general understanding ofCMF's
personnel policies. Employees should familiarize themselves with the contents ofthis handbook,
for it will answer many common questions concerning employment with C:ME.

However, this handbook cannot anticipate every situation or answer every question about
employment. It is not an employment contract and is not intended to create contractual
obligations of any kind. Neither the employee nor CMF is bound to continue the employment
relationship if either chooses. Either may choose, without cause or reason, and with or without
notice, to end this employment relationship.
In order to retain necessary flexibility in the administration ofpolicies and procedures, CMF
reseiVes the right to change, revise, or eliminate any of the policies and/or benefits descnoed in
this handbook, except for its policy of employment at-will. The only recognized deviations from

C. LIMITATION ON CLAIMS
I understand that any claim I might pursue against CMF, or any of its agents or representatives,
upon the termination of my employment with CMF, must be brought within nine (9) months of
the date of termination. I knowingly waive any limitations period which allows a longer time to
bring a claim. If this provision is found to be legally unenforceable as writteri, it shall be
interpreted and followed to allow enforcement of as short a p~riod of time as is legally possible.

D. EMPWYMENT CATEGORIES
It is the intent of CMF to cJ.ari1Y the definitions of employment classifications so that employees
understand their employment status and benefit eligibility. These classifications do not guarantee
employment for any specified period of time. Accordingly, the right to terminate the employment
relationship at will, at any time, is retained by both the employee and CMF.
Each employee is designated as either NON-EXEMPT or EXEMPT from federal and state wage
and hour laws. NON-EXEMPT employees are entitled to overtime pay under the specific
provisions of federal and state laws. EXEMPT employees are excluded from specific provisions
of federal and state wage and hour laws. An employee's EXEMPT or NON-EXEMPT
classification may be changed only upon written notification by CMF's management.
In addition to the above categories, each employee will belong to one other employment category:
REGULAR FULL-TIME employees are those who worked at least 32 hours/week for the last
six months or are hired to work at least 32 hours/week and are not in a temporary or introductory
status. Generally, they are elig~ole for CMF's benefit package, subject to the terms, conditions,
and limitations of each benefit program.
PART-TIME employees are those who are not assigned to a temporary or introductory status
and who are regularly scheduled to work less than 32 hours per week. While they do receive all
legally mandated benefits (such as Social Security and workers' compensation insurance), they are
ineligible for all ofCMF's other benefit programs.

TEMPORARY employees are those who are hired as interim replacements to temporarily
supplement the work force, or to assist in the completion of a specific project. Employment
assignments in this category are of a limited duration. Employment beyond any initially stated
period does not in any way imply a change in employment status. Temporary employees retain
that status unless and until notified of a change. While temporary employees receive all legally
mandated benefits (such as workers' compensation insurance and Social Security), they are
ineligible for all ofCMF's other benefit programs.

�II. Policies &amp; Procedures

A. INTRODUCfORY PERIOD

'·

The introductory period is intended to give new employees the opportunity to demonstrate their
ability to achieve a satisfactory level ofperformance and to determine whether the new position
meets their expectations. C:MF uses this period to evaluate employee capabilities, work habits,
and overall performance. Either the employee or CMF may encf the employment relationship at
will at any time during or after the introductory period, with or without cause or advance notice.
All new and re-hired employees work on an introductory basis for the first 90 calendar days after
their date ofhire. Any absence of one week or more will automatically extend an introductory
period by the length of the absence. The introductory period may be extended for a specified
period at the discretion ofCMF.

Upon satisfactory completion of the introductory period, employees enter the "regular"
employment classification.
Employees should read the information for each specific benefits program for the details on
eligloility requirements.
B. EMPLOYEE 1.\fEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

To help assure that employees are able to perform their duties safely, medical examinations may
be required.
After an offer has been made to an applicant entering a designated job category, a medical
examination may be performed at CMF's expense by a health professional ofCMF's choice. The
offer of employment and assignment to duties is contingent upon satisfactory completion of the
exam based on the essential functions, physical demands and work environment ofthe job.
After employment, employees may be asked to take a physical exam if a question regarding health

arises.
Information on an employee's medical condition or history will be kept separate from other
employee information and maintained confidentially. Access to this information will be limited to
those who have a legitimate need to know.

C. BONDING REQUIREMENT
All employees are covered under a 11fidelity bond11 insurance policy cani.ed by the Council of
Michigan Foundations. Should an applicant or employee perform any act which would render
him/her not bondable, the rescission of an offer of employment or termination of employment
would be necessary.

,

D. POTENTIAL CONFLicrs OF INTEREST
Employees have a full-time responsibility to the Council of Michigan Foundations. They may not
engage in activities that might interfere with the discharge of this responsibility or in transactions
that reasonably might affect the judgment they exercise on behalf of the Council ofMichigan
Foundations.

E. PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Two basic principles provide general guidance to CMF employees with respect to participation in
political affairs. The first is a recognition that CMF employees are, when acting in their capacity
as private citizens, free to engage in political affairs, including participation in election campaigns.
Such participation must be, of course, on their own time and with their own resources and
facilities. The second is that in their capacity as employees, they must cany out CMF's activities
clearly within the boundaries of the law and in ways that maintain public confidence in CMF as an
independent, non-partisan organization dedicated to educational and charitable purposes.

F. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Supervisors and employees are strongly encouraged to discuss job performance and goals on an
informal basis. A performance evaluation will be conducted at the end of an employee's initial
period ofhire, known as the introductory period. At least annually, evaluations are conducted to
provide both supervisors and employees the opportunity to discuss job tasks, identify and correct
weaknesses, encourage and recognize strengths, and discuss positive, purposeful approaches for
meeting goals.
The review of the President will be conducted by the Executive Committee.

G. TIMEKEEPING
Accurately recording time worked is the responsibility of every non-exempt employee. Federal
and state laws require CMF to keep an accurate record of time worked in order to calculate
employee pay and benefits. Time worked is all the time actually spent on the job performing
assigned duties.

Altering, &amp;Jsi1Ying, tampering with time records, or recording time on another employee's time
record is proln"bited
If corrections or modifications are made to the time record, both the employee and the supeJ.Visor
must verifY the accuracy of the changes by initialing the time record
H. OVERTIME

When operating requirements or other needs cannot be met during regular work hours, employees
will be given the opportunity to volunteer for overtime work assignments. All overtime work
must receive the supervisor's prior authorization. Overtime assignments will be offered as
equitably as practical to all employees qualified to perform the required work.
Overtime compensation is paid to all non-exempt employees in accordance with federal and state
wage and hour restrictions (in excess of 40 hours worked per week). Overtime pay is based on
actual hours worked Tune off for sick leave, vacation leave, or any leave of absence will not be
considered hours worked for pwposes ofperforming overtime calculations. Holiday hours for
which the employee is paid will not be counted towards hours 11actually worked.. in determining
eligibility for overtime payment for that week.
·Employees who work overtime without receiving prior authorization from the supervisor may be
subject to disciplinary action, up to and including possible termination of employment.
Extra working hours have been accommodated for in the salary levels of all salaried employees.

J. EMPWYMENT TERMINATION
'·

Termination of employment is an inevitable part of personnel activity within any organization, and
many of the reasons for termination are routine. Below are eXamples of some ofthe most
common circumstances under which employment is terminated:
RESIGNATION- voluntary employment termination initiated by an employee with or
.;without notice and with or without cause.
.·DISCHARGE - involuntary employment termination initiated by the organization with or
- without notice and with or without cause.

IAYOFF - involuntary employment termination initiated by the organization for nondisciplinary reasons.
RETIREMENT - voluntary employment termination initiated by the employee meeting age,
length of service, and any other criteria for retirement from the organization.
CMF will generally schedule exit interviews at the time of employment termination. The exit
interview will afford an opportunity to discuss such issues as employee benefits, conversion
privileges, repayment of outstanding debts to CMF, or return of property owned by CMF.
Suggestions, complaints, and questions can also be voiced.
Employee benefits will be affected by employment termination in the following manner. All
accrued, vested vacation benefits that are due will be payable at the time of termination. Some
benefits (pursuant to COBRA) may be continued at the employee's expense if the employee so

employee may draw upon their unused vacation days available.
Employees will be covered at 100% of their normal weekly pay, for hourly employees this would
be based on 40 hours per week.
Regardless of the number of days eligible for short-term disability coverage, employees will
continue to receive medical coverage during the first 90 calendar days of short-term disability or
until the end of the month in which the 90 days expire.

A. A1TENDANCE AND PUNCI'UAUI'Y

'·

To maintain a safe and productive work environment, C.MF expects employees to be reliable and
to be punctual in reporting for scheduled work. Absenteeism and tardiness place a bmden on
other employees and on CMF. In the rare instances when employees cannot ,avoid being late to
work or are unable to work as scheduled, they should noti1Y their supeiVisor as soon as possible
in advance of the anticipated tardiness or absence.
Poor attendance and excessive tardiness are disruptive. Either will lead to disciplinacy action, up
to and including termination of employment.
B. DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE

It is CMF's desire to provide a drug-free, healthful, and safe workplace. To promote this goal,
employees are required to report to work in appropriate mental and physical condition to petform
their jobs in a satisfactoxy manner.
While on CMF premises and while conducting business-related activities off CMF premises, no
employee may use, possess, distribute, sell, or be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
The legal use ofprescn"bed drugs is permitted on the job only if it does not impair an employee's
ability to petform the essential functions of the job effectively and in a safe manner that does not
endanger other individuals in the workplace. Legal drugs used or obtained in an illegal manner
are proht"bited.
Violations of this policy will lead to disciplinacy action, up to and including immediate termination
of employment, and/or required participation in a substance abuse rehabilitation or treatment
program at the employee's expense. Such violations may also have legal consequences.
C. SEXUAL AND OTHER UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT

CMF is Committed to providing a work environment that is free of discrimination and unlawful
harassment. Actions, words, jokes, or comments based on an individual's sex, race, ethnicity,
age, religion, or any other legally protected characteristic will not be tolerated. As an example,
sexual harassment (both overt and subtle) is a form of employee misconduct thai is demeaning to
another person, undermines the integrity of the employment relationship, and is strictly prohibited.
Any employee who wants to report an incident of sexual or other unlawful harassment should
promptly report the matter to the Director ofFinance &amp; Administration. If the Director of
Finance &amp; Administration is unavailable or the employee believes it would be inappropriate to
contact that person, the employee should immediately contact the President or Chief Operating
Officer. Employees can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal.

should promptly advise the President or any member of management who will handle the matter in
a timely and confidential manner.
Anyone engaging in sexual or other unlawful harassment will be subject to disciplinary action, up
to and including termination of employment.

If a non-employee of CMF believes an employee of CMF has subjected her/him to any unlawful
harassment, he or she can immediately contact the Director ofFinance &amp; Administration of the
Council of Michigan Foundations. If an employee believes she/he has been the subject of
unlawful harassment by a non-employee, such as a member or vendor during work time or in
relation to the employee's work, immediate contact must be made with the Director ofFinance &amp;
Administration. In either case, an investigation will be undertaken.
After an appropriate investigation, if CMF finds that a non-employee has unlawfully harassed an
employee during work time or in relation to the employee's work, appropriate action will be
taken, to the extent feasible.
CMF prohibits any retaliation against an employee or client who, in good faith, has made a
complaint (either verbal or in writing) under this policy. Any employee of CMF who, after
reasonable investigation, has been determined to have retaliated against an employee or nonemployee for making a good faith complaint, may be subject to discipline up to and including

exercising rights under this policy, should use the complaint procedure described above.

facilitate business communication. It is CMF's hope that, through proper use of these systems, a
number of important business objectives might be achieved. These objectives include, but are not
limited to:
•

Enhanced communication: facilitating faster written communication to one or more
individuals simultaneously.

•

Greater organization efficiency: providing greater information, to more people, facilitating
productivity and decision making.

•

Improved resource utilization: providing a more economical means of communicating
than written letters and over-night mail, requiring less preparation time and paper
resources.

G. ELECfRONIC &amp; VOICE MAIL continued

All electronic mail (e-mail) md voice mail system users should exercise the same good judgment
in utilizing these tools as they would any other organization resource. To maximize the systems'
positive impact, a number of specific rules have been established to guide us in their use:
·•

•

To protect the integrity of system information, each e-mail and voice mail user should
establish his or her own secret passwords, change these passwords often, and not divulge
them to others.

•

Unless authorized to access someone else's electronic files, employees must observe and
respect the confidentiality ofthe files of co-workers.
·

•

Third parties who access CMF' s electronic systems are expected to abide by all policies
and procedures applicable to the systems use.

•

CMF e-mail md voice mail networks are to be used for business communication purposes
only. Occasionally, a personal call or e-mail message may be necessary. Please limit these
communications to emergencies or essential personal business.

•

E-mail messages between employees, members, and other business contacts in lieu of
formal, typed correspondence must be treated as formal documents and stored in hard
copy in accordance with CMF's policy for document storage.

•

Employees must obtain proper authorization before communicating confidential
information to individuals outside ofCMF. Employees should consult their supervisors
for clarification as to whether or not specific documents or information can be transmitted.

•

CMF will not monitor e-mail and voice mail communications as a routine matter. These
messages are, however, the property of CMF which has the capability and expressly
reserves the right to access, review, copy and delete my messages sent, received or stored
on the e-mail or voice systems (business or personal), and to disclose them to any party it
deems appropriate. By using the CMF e-mail or voice mail systems, each user consents to
CMF' s rights in this regard.

G. ELECIRONIC &amp; VOICE MAIL POUCY continued

•

~.

Use of the e-mail or voice mail systems to engage in any unlawful activity, enterprise or
scheme is strictly prohibited. Users are proluoited from using the sy~ems in any other
way that is in violation of the law or CMF' s policy, including but not limited to
transmission of defamatory, obscene, offensive or harassing messages; messages that
disclose personal information without authorization; and/or the transmission of any
documents, software or other information protected by the copyright laws.

The above policy cannot anticipate evecy problem or issue which may be encountered in operating
voice mail and e-mail systems. As electronic technology evolves, so will the need to amend this
policy. Consequently, CMF may make such changes to this and other policies as circumstances
dictate.
H. IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION
It is required that all candidates for employment provide specific information to CMF (and that
CMF provide the same to the United States Immigration &amp; Naturalization SeiV.i.ce) within three

(3) days of commencing employment. Candidates for employment must complete Section 1 of
Form I-9 and provide CMF with specific documents to establish their ''identity'' and "employment
eligt.l&gt;ility."
An "employment eligt.l&gt;ility'' document is a social security card, birth certificate or an immigration
document. An employee will not be allowed to continue employment without providing proper

ideri.tification documents.
''Identity'' can be established by providing documentation such as a current state-issued driver's
license or identification card or similar document with a photograph, a voter registration card or
military seiV.i.ce record.

Michigan AIDS Fund
of
The Council of Michigan Foundations

A Report to the Supporting Organization Committee

Reporting Period: . July 1, 1995- June 30, 1996

�2

I.

Introduction. The Michigan AIDS Fund owes its start to a November 1989 vision of
key leaders of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), and the early support of
several visionary CMF-member Foundations. Together, they were convinced that the
AIDS epidemic in Michigan offered an opportunity for an unprecedented, pooled-fund
philanthropic response to a major health problem. At that time there were 1.466 AIDS
reported AIDS cases in Michigan, with an estimate of an additional 3-4 thousand
infected.
Incorporated as a CMF supporting organization in 1994, the Fund has become a
national model as well as a trusted partner in communities across Michigan. In recent
years it has established productive and collaborative linkages with Federal and State
AIDS funders. Through its ambitious grantmaking program, it has become the leading
source of private funding in the battle against the AIDS epidemic in Michigan. And it
has done all this in 1996 recognizing that, for all we've done to fight the epidemic in
our State, there are now 7.393 reported AIDS cases, an increase of over 500% since
our founding, with estimates of an additional 8-12 thousand infected. And now we
know the alarming truth: Most who carry the virus that results in AIDS are unaware of
their own infections --they've never been tested, so their capacity to spread the
epidemic is largely unchecked.

II.

Character &amp; Scope. The Michigan AIDS Fund, operating under a Board representing
philanthropy and expertise in AIDS-related issues, serves the CMF membership by
providing a planned and unified, statewide philanthropic response to AIDS in
Michigan. Our funding is received from all types of CMF members (public, private
and community foundations as well as corporate members and trusts), in addition to
individual donors. We are truly statewide: board members come from Southeastern
Michigan but also the Upper Peninsula and grants are made into every region of the
State. To the extent that available funding allows, we intend not only to respond to the
consequences of the epidemic in hard-hit communities with high incidence rates, but
also to anticipate and help prevent the epidemic in communities whose combined
educational efforts can help resist AIDS.

III.

MAF Mission. To support efforts to stop the spread of HIVI AIDS and to alleviate the
suffering of those infected and affected by HIVI AIDS.

IV.

Major Objectives: 1996
A.

To manage a statewide pooled fund for AIDS-related organizations
in the State of Michigan.
1.

MAF received eighty-nine letters of intent during the past year,
requested 42 full proposals and, after staff and Program
Committee review, awarded 34 grants (including some

�3

categorized as "emergency/opportunity grants"). Grants for our
1995-96 grant year (July-June) represented the fifth granting
cycle and totaled $664,909.
A more complete description of these grants is available from the
Michigan AIDS Fund for those interested in a detailed review.
In overview, about half of all grants were made in Southeastern
Michigan, mainly Detroit, where nearly 70 percent of AIDS
cases have been reported.
2.

MAF introduced each grantee (100% participation) to the MAF
grant-implementation-and-evaluation process through four
regional networking conferences.

3.

Through collaboration with State and Federal funding resources
for AIDS-related projects, MAF was able this past year to lead a
statewide service for foundations, corporate donors and all AIDS
funders enabling all of us to avoid redundancy and overlap.
This initiative has now become a quarterly round table meeting of
all HIVI AIDS Funders of Michigan. ·

4.

During the past year, the Fund leveraged public and private
national funds from the (public) Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) and the (private) National AIDS Fund for specific projects
in Michigan. If added to the two-thirds of a million dollars the
Fund distributed through grants, these funds would have brought
us near to $1 million in statewide delivery.
An example is the Brewster Homes Demonstration Project which
is employing a highly-successful Opinion Leader model of HIVprevention outreach, based on extensive research and evaluation
of changing high-risk behavior. This model, developed by Dr.
Jeff Kelly (Medical College, University of Wisconsin), is now
being tested in a Detroit public housing project -- with a
companion demonstration project in Atlanta, Georgia -- with the
goal of disseminating "Opinion-Leader Peer Outreach HIV
Prevention" programs to other U.S. urban neighborhoods.

5.

Owing to a $30,000 grant from the Consolidated Rail
Corporation, the Fund was able to expand a statewide HIVI AIDS
Peer Education Project by awarding four grants serving cities
Page 2

�4

located directly in the path of -- and hardest hit by -- the AIDS
epidemic:
Peer Education Project - Grand Rapids
HYPE Theater Troupe - Benton Harbor
Lifelines Theater Troupe- Detroit (Inkster)
Comer Theater Troupe - Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor
B.

To provide technical assistance, information, and
networking for grantees, foundation and corporate
grant makers.

1.

Through a series of on-site visits, telephone conferences, regular
correspondence and occasional publications, the Fund maintained
communication with grantees and provided a broad range of technical
assistance.
Several grant recipients (Children's Immune Disorder, Berried
AIDS Coalition, Bay Area Social Intervention Services and
others) were granted special awards to build their own
fundraising and governance capacity.

2.

Increasingly Michigan foundations and corporations have relied
on advice from the Michigan AIDS Fund regarding AIDS-related
requests. We now serve as a 11 clearing house 11 and information
resource for Michigan funders.
During the past year, the Fund's staff -- often, aided by select
trustees -- responded to fourteen requests for in-depth grant
making counsel from Michigan grant makers.

3.

C.

Eight peer-review teams (conjoint visits) and peer-assistance programs,
coordinated by MAF staff, helped local grantees build program and
governance capacity.

To implement the first year of a long-range development plan to
broaden and diversify base of financial support.
1.

The Fund's Development Committee established five strategies
for expanding the Fund's expansion: (a) increase foundation
support, (b) increase corporate support, (c) secure individual
donor support in Friends of MAF Campaign, (d) expand
reporting, and (e) explore establishing an MAF endowment fund.
Page 3

�5

2.

MAF accomplished all goals for the first four strategies
but has chosen to consider an endowment fund only in the
context of a broader discussion among, and perhaps in
partnership with, Michigan's community foundations.
Our commitment remains to be, in all fund-development
efforts, noncompetitive both with potential grant
recipients and with all CMF members. And our
consideration of an endowment fund will respect that
commitment.

3.

MAF secured a Metro Health Foundation Challenge Grant
($25,000 with a 2:1 match) to secure new donors in the $10-250
category. This match was successfully accomplished and raised
$14,870 in new donor gifts. This also provided an ideal "Friends
of MAF" mailing list for the first issue of The Journal, a MAF
newsletter now being launched (October/November 1996).

4.

Having outgrown the guidelines to qualify for the National AIDS
Fund $75,000 challenge grant (MAF is now a Senior Partner),
the Fund needed to locate a "new" $75,000 to meet this year's
$900,000 fundraising goal.
This was achieved through increased foundation support, new
corporate support, and individual gifts in the $10-$250 range.

5.

Total funds raised for the 1995-96 campaign amounted to
$912,870, pleasantly over the $900,000 goal we had earlier
adopted for reporting purposes, and $102,450 above the earlier
Development Committee estimate of funds needed. A breakdown
by donor source shows the following:

To support HIV/AIDS Public Policy and Advocacy Causes in
Michigan.
1.

Through its grant making program and by way of constant staff
contact, the Fund supported the HNI AIDS Alliance of Michigan,
a group dedicated to serve as a "monitoring body" and public
policy advisory group in Michigan. While the Fund is keenly
aware of its purpose, which does not include lobbying, we are
also aware of our responsibility to inform the philanthropic
community regarding public policy issues that impact of
philanthropy's role in the AIDS epidemic.

2.

MAF staff and board of trustees successfully petitioned, with
many others, public officials to re-authorize federal HN/AIDS
funding through the Ryan White Care Act.

3.

MAF played a key role as a participant in the National AIDS
Fund and the Cities Advocating Emergency AIDS Relief.
Through this national initiative, the Fund itself serves as a model
for philanthropy in other states, as well as providing support for
appropriate AIDS public policy initiatives.

To disseminate MAF activities to raise public awareness of Fund
activities.
In the Spring (1996), the Fund board of trustees and staff together
embraced an ambitious plan for increased communication through
publications and on-line options. That plan is now unfolding with new
periodicals scheduled to appear before the close of 1996.

Meanwhile,

G.

1.

Articles appeared regularly in the CMF publication, The
Michigan Scene, and the monthly newsletter, Memo to Members.

2.

An annual report was produced which was mailed to all Michigan
Foundations and corporate donor programs.

3.

MAF Executive Director Earl Schipper participated in Title I
Ryan White evaluations for distribution of federal funds and took
an active role in regional groups responsible for distribution of
CDC Title IT funds for prevention and continuum of care.

4.

The Michigan AIDS Fund was featured in a two-installment
article which appeared in Michigan Medicine, a respected
publication of the Michigan State Medical Society which reaches
nearly 12,000 physicians and health care providers in Michigan.

To develop and monitor evaluation plans for grantees and conduct
an external evaluation of the Michigan AIDS Fund.
1.

Two evaluation workshops, "Five-Year MAF Summary
Outcomes Evaluation" and "Long Range Implications for the
Fund," were presented by Harder+Company of San Francisco,
CA, at the Summer '96 MAF Board of Trustees retreat meeting.
(A summary of this report is planned for presentation to the CMF
Board of Trustees by Mr. Harder, President of
Harder+ Company).

2.

The 1996 Conference on AIDS included evaluation skillsbuilding workshops led by Dr. James Sanders of Western
Michigan University's Evaluation Center and Melanie Hwalek,
President of SPEC Associates.

3.

1995-96 Granting Conferences included guidelines for
program evaluation and improved the evaluation
component of end-of-year reports significantly. Seventyfive percent of grantees prepared evaluations which were
rated "good" or "excellent. "

To conduct AIDS-related conferences and workshops.

1.

In addition to the annual Michigan Conference on AIDS, MAF
co-sponsored a first-time (May 15, 1996) conference "AIDS in
Rural Michigan Communities" held in Traverse City, attracting
168 physicians and health care providers from rural areas.
The conference was telecast to five rural satellite locations in
northern lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.

2.

MAF also sponsored the annual Peer Educators Conference, "A
Wake Up Call," held this year at Eastern Michigan University.
Attendance was overwhelming: 325 peer educators active in
HIV/AIDS outreach programs joined us at the Conference, and
eighty percent of these were peer educators ages 18 or younger.
Evidence that the rate of new infections is increasing among
young people in Michigan raises the importance of peer-led
HIVI AIDS prevention programs. And such evidence is worth
noting for those of us within the philanthropic community.
In Michigan, one of four new infections is reported in the age 2029 category. Noting the latency period of the virus, now
typically four-to-six years, public health officers believe many
were infected as teenagers.
As a result, the Fund has established peer-led outreach to highrisk teens as a funding priority for 1997.

3.

Several MAF grants were awarded to conduct AIDS-specific
workshops. For example, AIDS Interfaith Network of Detroit
sponsored a retreat for care givers and Hospice of Southeastern
Michigan delivered "Hospice and AIDS" workshops in rural
Michigan communities, both supported by (in part) MAF
funding.

4.

The Statewide 1996 Michigan Conference on AIDS was held in
April, 1996 at Ypsilanti, Michigan. Under the theme,
"Michigan Shares Lessons Learned/New Challenges:
HIVI AIDS," 341 attended and many rated the conference as the
best ever put on by the Fund.
A kick-off workshop put on by the National Coalition Building
Institute proved to be a remarkable introduction for the
Conference. Although the conference featured keynote addresses
Page 8

�10

by Sister Rae Lewis Thornton (HIV-positive activist) and the
team of Robert Getz and Byron Welch (Fundraising, board
governance workshops), most sessions were led by peers who
made presentations drawing on past experiences, successes and
failures, in order to meet new challenges. A final
Volunteer/Board Day provided networking and skills-building
workshops for volunteer support staff and leaders of grantee
organizations.
(A conference brochure is attached for your review.)
V.

Conclusion. The Michigan AIDS Fund will continue to expand the statewide
philanthropic response to AIDS. We are working diligently to secure necessary
resources through existing and new donor partnerships. The MAF Board's leaders are
determined to continue challenging the spread of HNI AIDS while alleviating the
suffering of people infected and affected by AIDS. We are encouraged by reports that
the number of new HN infections has leveled off, perhaps declined slightly, in areas
where we have supported peer-led prevention troupes and harm-reduction outreach
programs. And we are never far from the reality that, for all our efforts, the virus is
more active than we.
We are, as Fund staff and grant recipients, deeply grateful for 1995-96 support from
CMF member foundations and the extraordinary guidance and counsel of trustees
drawn from these foundation who have shaped MAF into the exemplary U.S. model of
statewide, philanthropic collaboration to combat the AIDS epidemic. While a cure
eludes us still, we rededicate ourselves to the urgent task of halting the most
devastating epidemic in American history, and of assuring compassionate care for those
whose lives will end before we defeat that epidemic.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Trustees
Michigan AIDS Fund
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Michigan AIDS Fund as of
March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of activities and changes in net
assets and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Michigan AIDS Fund at March 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, the Michigan AIDS Fund restated and
changed the presentation of its financial statements as a result of adopting Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and
Contributions Made, and No. 117, Financial Statements ofNot-for-Profit Organizations.

Michigan AIDS Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1996 and 1995

Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) was established in 1989 by the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF) as a collaborative effort to provide Michigan grantmakers with the
opportunity to respond together to the issue of the growing AIDS epidemic in Michigan.
MAF became a pooled fund, with volunteer leadership representing grantmakers who
agreed to a uniform collaborative approach to funding the complex needs presented by
AIDS in Michigan.
In November 1993, MAF became a separate Michigan corporation qualifying as a
supporting organization of CMF. CMF's Board of Trustees exercises significant control
over MAF through the appointment of MAP's board members.
&gt;------..

MAF is managed by an independent consulting firm that provides project management
staffing and support services. These professional services are negotiated each year under
a contract with CMF.

Short-term Investments
Short-term investments consist of money market funds that are carried at fair market
value, which equals cost.

Change in Accounting Principles and Presentation
During fiscal 1996, MAF adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SF AS)
No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, and No. 117,
Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations, and applied these standards
retroactively. SFAS No. 117 establishes standards for external financial reporting by notfor-profit organizations and requires that resources be classified for accounting and
reporting purposes into net asset categories according to externally (donor) imposed
restrictions or the lack thereof (i.e., unrestricted, temporarily restricted or permanently
restricted). SFAS No. 116 requires that unconditional promises received from donors be
recorded as receivables and revenues in the year in which the promises are received.
Promises made (e.g., grants) by MAF are recorded as an expense and a liability when
approved by the governing board of MAF.

Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Change in Accounting Principles and Presentation (continued)
MAF restated its net asset balances (formerly fund balances) as of April1, 1994 and
adopted the new classifications for the fiscal 1995 fmancial statements to conform with
the accounting and fmancial reporting requirements of SFAS No. 116 and No. 117. The
adoption of SFAS No. 117 changed the classifications, terminology, format and overall
presentation of the financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 116 and
No. 117 decreased the change in net assets previously reported for the year ended
March 31, 1995 by approximately $245,000 and increased the April1, 1994 net as~et
balance by approximately $959,000.

Net Asset Classifications
The two net asset groups used for reporting purposes in the accompanying financial
statements are as follows:

Unrestricted Net Assets-Reflect assets which have not been restricted as to use by
donors other than to be used in pursuing the overall purpose for which MAF exists.

Temporarily Restricted Net Assets-Reflect contributed assets whose use by MAF
has been limited by donors for a specific time period or purpose.

Grants
Unconditional grants are recognized as an expense at the time the Board of Trustees
formally approves them. Grants payable recorded in the accompanying balance sheets are
generally expected to be paid within one year.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the fiscal 1995 financial statements have been reclassified for
CQmparative purposes to conform with the presentation used in the fiscal 1996 financial
statements.

Note B-Federal Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that MAF is a public charity, exempt from federal
income tax as described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC).
MAF is classified as a supporting organization, as specified under the provisions of IRC
Section 509(a)(3).

Note C-Contributions Receivable
MAF's contributions receivable at March 31, 1996 consist of unconditional promises
receivable as follows:
Receivable in fiscal 1997
Receivable in fiscal 1998
Less present value discount at prime (8.25% at March 31, 1996)
Net contributions receivable

$321,500
300,000
621,500
(45,488)
$576,012

All contributions receivable at March 31, 1995 were received within one year.
An unconditional promise represents a promise made by grantors/contributors to give
specified amounts to MAF in the future which are not contingent on MAF performing
any specific substantive actions (e.g., raising matching amounts).

build permanent and growing funds within each community to meet local youth needs, and
to expand and extend community foundation service to cover the State so that every
donor has access to a community foundation.
MCFYP is funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and provides challenge grants,
technical assistance, leadership training, mini-grants, and conferences to Michigan
community foundations and their Youth Advisory Committees. MCFYP supports youth
as existing resources and decision-makers in communities, and establishes important
statewide ties to service, volunteerism, philanthropy and service-learning.
Overview
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has granted $49 million to Michigan community
foundations through the Council of Michigan Foundations over three grant periods:
1988-1991
$ 2 million
1991-1996
$3 5 million
1996-2000
$12 million
A total of$5.4 million continues to be available to community foundations as challenge
grants. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has provided a companion grant to support
technical assistance to Michigan's community foundations from 1988-1995.
The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project and the Council of Michigan
Foundation's 52 member community foundations (and their 28 affiliates) are pleased to
continue to report that the project is stimulating fundamental and positive change in the
long term structure of local philanthropy in the State ofMichigan.
Geographic Service
During 1995 and 1996 we have continued our substantial progress in the geographic reach
of community foundation service. 74 Michigan counties, of the 83 total, are now served.
This compares to 63 from last year. Nine other counties have active organizing
committees and/or are negotiating affiliate relationships with neighboring community
foundations . Of the 15 counties of the Upper Peninsula all are now served by community
foundations. This development has been led by our part-time Upper Peninsula consultant,
George Tomasi, who retired June 30, 1996. As mentioned later in this report, new full
time staff have been hired to replace George.

Organizational Strength
The viability of community foundations to serve their communities is measured by
secondary measurements such as asset size, grantmaking dollars, and professionalization.
These indicators show rapid growth. Responding to the challenge, audited assets in the
community foundations have grown by 28% from $564,552,613 in 1994 to $725,449,270
in 1995. Audited grantmaking has increased by 8%, from $32,364,240 to $34,524,367.
Staffing has grown from 125 to 136 professional staff with three community foundations
adding their first staff members this year.
Technical Assistance
The technical assistance, provided with funds from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, is
critical to sustaining this growing group of community foundations. Two publications
have been written this year. 40 training sessions have been held with over 1200 attendees.
226legal questions have been answered for 39 community foundations. 138 on-site
consultations have been completed. Mini-grants totaling $49,360 have been given to 54
community foundations.
Youth Project
There are now 72 community foundations and affiliates with active youth committees
involving 1,300 young people in philanthropy. Eighteen community foundations have
raised the full match providing the young people in each community with the interest on
$1 million for grantmaking for programs for youth.
Youth committees have now made over $2.6 million in 1,708 grants for local youth needs.
159 young people attended leadership camp during the summer of 1995, while 425 young
people attended a one-day Regional Workshop held in four locations in the spring and fall
of 199 5. Over one half of the primary group leaders at leadership camp are former Youth
Advisory Committee members.
The community foundations feel the lessons they are learning about youth philanthropy are
important and, they asked to hold a national conference to disseminate information to
national funders, out-of-state community foundations and youth serving organizations
interested in replicating MCFYP. This conference was held July 25 - 27, 1996 at the
Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids, MI and, as mentioned later in this report,
showcased all ofthe related initiatives which spin in harmony with this project.
There is an excellent relationship between this project, Campus Compact, the Michigan
Community Service Commission, and other youth and philimthropic initiatives.
Community foundations are also experiencing "alumnae" of the youth committees
becoming donors to the community foundation and advisors to Youth Advisory
Committees.

"YOUTH MAKING A DIFFERENCE"
National Youth Philanthropy Conference
REPORT SUMMARY

..-----.

------

The National Youth Philanthropy Conference was held at the Amway Grand Plaza
Hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan on July 25-27, 1996. More than 800 enthusiastic
participants, including nearly 600 youth, attended the conference entitled "Youth Making
a Difference." Community foundation representatives from 25 states and Canada, national
funders, youth-serving organizations, and Michigan Youth Advisory Committee (YAC)
members, and their advisors came to share and learn about the tremendous success of the
Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project (MCFYP) and other models for engaging
youth in philanthropy. Special speakers included Bob Love of Chicago Bulls and Jeffrey
Canada, a leading expert on violence prevention programs.
The Detroit Pistons joined the MCFYP Statewide Youth Board in honoring YAC
members and their advisors, in three award categories: Innovative Community
Foundation/YAC Awards, Exemplary YAC Member Awards, and Outstanding YAC
Advisor Awards. Awards went to Jeannie Ringleberg, Phillip Wahtola, Diana Economy,
Marieo Henry, Omar Sims, Cheryl Elliot, and Lorriane Krieg. YACs receiving awards
included Margquette Community Foundation Youth Advisory Committee, Leleanau
Youth Advisory Committee under the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation,
and Community Foundation for Muskegon County Youth Advisory Committee. The
recipients will be recongnized during half-time at a Detroit Pistons game on October 27.
Plans are underway for the second annual Community Service Awards.
Released during the National Conference were three new CMF publications
highlighting MCFYP. They include:

•

"Get Into Action", a brochure developed to introduce MCFYP and the concept of
youth as philanthropist;

•

"Growing Community Foundations/ Empowering Youth", a publication authored by
Karin Tice, Ph.D., the evaluator on MCFYP, that presents lessons learned and
recommendations for replication ofMCFYP;

•

"Guidelines and Resources for Establishing a Youth Advisory Committee", , a
resource manual for community foundations or organizations that wish to establish
Youth Advisory Committees authored by Terry Langston, Youth Program Director.

Press coverage was substantial, including a Christian Science Monitor feature.

Other Related Initiatives

Upper Peninsula Initiative
Special initiatives to organize the Upper Peninsula have been extremely successful. There
are now ten community foundations with 8 geographic component funds which assures
that all residents in the Upper Peninsula now have access to a community foundation. The
Upper Peninsula Community Foundation, which currently has four affiliates, serves as a
"holding company" should any of the very small U.P. communities chose to affiliate with a
larger entity.
As the final application cycle for MCFYP approach (Spring, 1997) two issues have
become evident in the growth and expansion of community foundations in the Upper
Peninsula. First, many of the rural community foundations do not have the ability to
organize in time to take advantage of the challenge program. Second, a number of the
smaller community foundations are having difficulties raising the needed operating funds
for a part-time staff A portion of the second W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant (
P0029713) has been designated to provide support for fund development assistance for
the rural community foundations and for financial incentives for smaller community
foundations to merge with larger, neighboring community foundations. Two full time staff
have been retained in 1996 to help address these needs. Specialized fund development
training is being provided by the Indiana Center on Philanthropy. The Kellogg Youth
Initiative Partnership serving Marquette and Alger counties continues to support the
development of this U.P.-wide infrastructure for philanthropy.

Computer Project
To date 33 community foundations have had FIMS installed while 5 are waiting for
installation, by August 1996. A new concept to provide centralized Financial Information
Management System (FIMS) service for community foundations in the Upper Peninsula
will be piloted beginning in the fall of 1996. The Marquette Community Foundation and
the Community Foundation for Delta County will serve as computer HUBS for satellite
community foundations throughout the Upper Peninsula, initially with the Baraga County
Community Foundation and the Dickinson County Community Foundation. If successful,
this concept will be replicated in the lower peninsula. Using existing funds in the
computer grant the consultant will be retained through June 1997 to assist the community
foundations.

Youth Violence Prevention Challenge Grant

with foundations and corporations in Michigan to stimulate violence prevention strategies.
YACs and other community foundations and youth serving organizations that attended the
National Youth Philanthropy Conference are eligible for a grant of up to $1,000 to match
their own funds in an equal amount.

Partnership for National Service- Service as Strategy Initiative
As part of the $110,000 grant received from the Partnership for National Service,
$20,000 is earmarked for twenty $1,000 matching grants to YACs for projects involving
youth in community service through AmeriCorps or another entity. Other activities
included in this grant support the ongoing service efforts of the AmeriCorps programs
operating with the geographic service area of four Michigan community foundations.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Trustees
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Michigan Community
Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) as of March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of activities and changes in net assets and cash flows for the years then ended.
These fmancial statements are the responsibility of MCFYP management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
fmancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the fmancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of MCFYP at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note A to the fmancial statements, MCFYP restated and changed the
presentation of its financial statements as a result of adopting Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and
Contributions Made, and No. 117, Financial Statements ofNot-for-Profit Organizations.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1996 and 1995

Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) was incorporated in
November 1993 as a supporting organization to the Council of Michigan Foundations
(CMF). MCFYP was formed for the primary purpose of administering a project that
commenced in 1988, which was funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. MCFYP is
aimed at encouraging youth development in local communities while strengthening
community foundation leadership and grant-making capacity. CMF had acted as
administrator of the original project, with . all grant monies received from the W. K.
Kellogg Foundation being distributed to community foundation members under
restrictions defined by the grant agreement.
MCFYP has a separate Board of Trustees appointed by CMF's Board of Trustees to
oversee the grant-making activities of MCFYP. Since its incorporation, the W. K.
Kellogg Foundation has committed to transfer approximately $32,500,000 ($24, 700,000
of which has been received through fiscal 1996) to the supporting organization for the
complete cost of administrating MCFYP and its grant-making activities.
MCFYP received an additional $2,600,000 grant from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation to
provide funds for the computerization of Michigan's community foundations, support for
foundations which assume responsibility for assisting small affiliate community
foundations in their development, and extended support for the youth project, including
camp subsidies and national leadership conference funding.
An administrative services agreement exists between CMF and MCFYP. The

administrative agreement requires CMF to provide executive, management,
administrative and other such services that the supporting organization may require. The
charges for these services, $741,610 and $755,397 for the years ended March 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively, are reflected in MCFYP's statements of activities and changes in
net assets.

Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investments
Investments consist of money market funds, U.S. Government securities and mutual
funds. All investments are carried at estimated fair market value, using quoted market
prices when available. Realized gains and losses and wrrealized increases or decreases
resulting from changes in the market value of investments are included annually in
investment income in the statements of activities and changes in net assets. The realized
gain or loss on the sale of investments is the difference between the proceeds received
and the basis of specific investments sold.
MCFYP's Board of Trustees has designated that investment income earned on project
assets will be used to fund community foundation programming beyond the year 2000.
Change in Accounting Principles and Presentation
During fiscal 1996, MCFYP adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, and
No. 117, Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations, and applied these
standards retroactively. SFAS No. 117 establishes standards for external fmancial
reporting by not-for-profit organizations and requires that resources be classified for
accounting and reporting purposes into net asset categories according to externally
(donor) imposed restrictions or the lack thereof (i.e., wrrestricted, temporarily restricted
or permanently restricted). SFAS No. 116 requires that unconditional promises received
from donors be recorded as receivables and revenues in the year in which the promise is
received. Promises made (e.g., grants) by MCFYP are conditional and are recorded as an
expense and a liability when the condition is met by the recipient.
MCFYP restated its net asset balances (formerly fund balances) as of April 1, 1994 and
adopted the new classifications for the fiscal 1995 financial statements to conform with
the accounting and financial reporting requirements of SFAS No. 116 and No. 117. The
adoption of SFAS No. 117 changed the classifications, terminology, format and overall
presentation of the financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 116 and
No. 117 increased the change in net assets previously reported for the year ended
March 31, 1995 by approximately $2,900,000 and increased the April 1, 1994 net asset
balance by approximately $22,100,000.

federal income tax, as described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code,
and is classified as a supporting organization as specified under the provisions of
Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Note E-Transfers to Council of Michigan Foundations

automate the community foundation resource files and to reimburse expenses related to
certain conferences, as provided for by funds from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation.
Transfers to CMF in 1995 represent amounts used to purchase additional office space,
make necessary renovations and complete the computerization of CMF' s offices.
