Twelve Member Visit to Capitol Hill to Secure Sponsors
for HR. 733 and HR. 734

On February 1, 1995, Herb Dow and I led a Council ofMichigan Foundations delegation
to Capitol Hill. The purpose of the trip was to :
•

Give each Congressman a printout indicating all the foundations in his district and a
new Michigan Foundation Directory, Edition IX.

•

Update each Congressman on the news oflocal foundations/corporate giving
programs.

•

Request support oflegislation. (Details to follow).
--The composite bill would include three provisions, one of which expired in 1994
(the ability ofliving donors to deduct the full fair market value of publicly traded
stock to private foundations 1994- HR. 2418).
--A bill which would permit the establishment of a common investment fund for
private and community foundations (1994- HR. 591 and S. 427).

�53

Each Congressman received a complimentary copy of the Ninth Edition of the Michigan
Foundation Directory, paid for by the Allen Fund, and a computerized printout of all the
foundations in their District, by assets and grants. The delegation met with all sixteen
Congressional Offices including personal visits with Senator Spence Abraham, several
Congressmen and some Aides.
We attended the Council on Foundations/Regional Initiative Luncheon where
Congressman David Camp (R-Midland) addressed the Regional Association of
Grantmakers Meeting.
Don Parfet hosted the Council of Michigan Foundations' Members at the University of
Michigan Washington DC Breakfast, attended by several Congressmen. This is the
second year both events were scheduled the same day.
STATE ISSUES
HR. 733 and HR. 734
Council of Michigan Foundations' members have secured eight cosponsors to HR. 733, a
bill which would pemrit living donors to deduct the full fair market value for gifts of
publicly traded stock to private foundations, and to HR. 734, which would permit private
and community foundations to establish a tax exempt investment fund.
Michigan Cosponsors include:
Congressman James Barcia
Congressman David Camp
Congressman John Conyers, Jr.
Congressman Peter Hoekstra
Congressman Dale Kildee
Congressman Vern Ehlers
Congresswoman Lynn Rivers
Congressman Fred Upton
Total Michigan sponsors to date are eight. We are working with our RAG colleagues to
secure additional sponsors from their states.
COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS - Escheats Funds
For several years the community foundations have been considering escheat funds as
possible sources for endowment building. Escheats are dollars which return to the State
because the owner does not claim them and cannot be located, for example the balances
on small checking accounts or unclaimed race track winnings. Through the generous
support of John Frey and the Frey Foundation, a comprehensive study of the escheat
opportunity has been completed. CMF will review the study and has engaged David
Haynes of Public Affairs Associates to move the idea forward and seek passage of
requisite legislation if feasible and desirable.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS TAX CREDIT
We received good news from Governor Engler's Office when he proposed to increase the
CF Tax Credit by 50% ($300 individual contnlmtions/$150 Tax Credit, $ 600
couple/$300 Tax Credit). Credits are also proposed to be increased for state universities
and colleges, public TV stations, soup kitchens and shelters. The prospects for passage
appear good at this time.

The Mawby Endowment Fund was created in 1994 by voluntary contributions
of the CMF membership in honor of Russell G. Mawby, retiring Chair and CEO of
the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Interest earnings from the fund will be used to
support projects to improve and increase philanthropy. Fiscal 1996 efforts include
peer-donor meetings with prospective donors, the K-12 education initiative, and the
electronic technology system connecting member foundations.

The Allen Endowment Fund was created in 1988 in memory of William W. Allen,
first chair of CMF' s Government Relations Committee, to support furthering the
understanding of private philanthropy in federal and state legislative and regulatory
matters. Fisca11996 use of these monies include travel costs and support
materials for the Washington D. C. Legislative Visits.

$57,900

Small conference revenues consist of:
Detroit Area Granonakers
Grand Rapids Donors' Forum
COF Michigan Evening
Women In Philanthropy
Specialized Member Workshops
Regional Member Meetings
Annual Youth Conference
The increase in revenues is due to a planned reduction in the community foundation
subsidies of participant fees. H workshops are not held, corresponding expenses will not be
incurred Fee income does not cover expenses in all cases. Workshop expense is subsidized
by other funding in these instances.

Anticipated

1995
Annual Conference

$135,000

Budget
1996
$140,000

Revenue for the annual conference represents estimated registrations for the 23rd annual
conference in Kalamazoo, Michigan with no registration fee increase. Registration may be
higher, but it is our custom to budget conservatively. Fiscal1995 includes an education
award ($29,000) from the community foundation budget for community foundation members
attending the Annual Conference. The estimated award for 1996 is $20,000.

Anticipated

This figure represents estimated contributions from local area businesses and foundations to

support host events and activities.

DirectorvSales

$45,000

Budget
1996
$20,850

Fiscal1996 will be the second year of a two-year cycle in which the Directory is reproduced.
The 1996 projection assumes that approximately the same number of edition nine directories
will be sold as were sold in edition eight, even though 1995 sales have exceeded budgeted
projections. Higher sales are normally reflected in the first year of the production.
As the Council continues to expand its services and offerings to its members, it becomes more
difficult to maintain a balanced budget Beginning in ftscal1995, the Council asked its
members for voluntary contributions toward the cost of the Directory. Many members
responded positively to this request It is hoped that this important publication might become
a significant revenue producing source since the production of the Directory is now performed
totally by CMF.

Management Contracts

Anticipated
Budget
1995

CMF staff provides administrative support services to the Michigan Community Foundations'
Youth Project which was established in 1994. Salaries, benefits and other operating expenses
will be paid by the supporting organization under a management service contract which is
estimated to be $1,018,045. Details of the Community Foundation operations may be found
in the detailed budget included with this packet Management structures for the Michigan
AIDS Fund have not yet been finalized and are therefore not included in this budget
projection.
For efficiency of tracking and grant reporting, the 1996 MCFYP contract has been designed
to include all administrative, technical assistance and mini-grant services, applying only those
costs to the MCFYP account which are to be deliberated and decided exclusively by the
MCFYP Board of Directors. The 1995 anticipated expense has been restated to be
comparable to the 1996 estimate.

Salaries and Benefits

$712,886

Budget
~
$892,981

Budgeted salaries, benefits and FICA for fiscal1996 are expected to increase $175,099. The
increase is attributable to a 2-5% general salary increase and the following new staff positions:
CORE BUDGET
An increase in the Financial Director position from 3/4 time to full time

19,000

The addition of a part-time Improving Philanthropy Project Manager
(W. Calvin Patterson, ill)

The addition of a full time Secretarial position

24,565

The addition of two part-time consulting staff positions

53,163

Individual staff increases will be determined by management based on studies of market area,
COF, RAG and CMF member organizations. The President's compensation will be
determined by the Executive Committee.
C:MF provides health care coverage for thirteen employees, an 8% annuity contribution for all
full-time staff, and long-term disability benefits. FICA has been estimated to increase
commensurate with salary increases.
CMF employs 17 operational staff (9 FfE Core and 8 (7 .5 FfE) community foundation), 5
consultant staff, and 2 volunteer executive-in-residence staff, comprising 17.15 FTEs.

Occupancy expense consists of monthly office space maintenance and cleaning and monthly
off-site storage fees. Because of the purchase of new space. we no longer lease space for
additional staff, resUlting in a slight decrease of costs from previous year.

Telephone

~

. $30,000

Budget
~
$36,165

The fiscal 1996 budget includes a substantial increase over 1995. Telephone usage has been
increasing with additional services but studies performed by independent service vendors at
our request have helped us to contain this area of cost. At the request of membership, the
major area of growth is being experienced in conference call meetings instead of in-person
meetings. Management is investigating methods of controlling these costs by sharing costs
with participating members rather than incurring full cost at CMF.
Telephone expenses are also increased over 1995 due to the addition of electronic mail to our
members and additional staff. The increase also covers mobile phone expense for four
employees who travel extensively as a part of their responsibilities and use the phones to
return messages and deliver timely answers, even when they are away from the office.

Equipment Lease and Maintenance

Budget

$18,000

Fiscal1996 costs are expected to include maintenance contracts for:
Computer hardware
Computer software
Other office equipment

$9,000
6,000
3,100

With the recent acquisition of new computer equipment and its essential role in our day-to~y
operations. it is imperative that we maintain adequate maintenance on critical hardware
components. We expect that software suppon maintenance fees will be 20% to 30% of our
initial software cost. We also have maintenance costs on other office equipment such as our
telephone system, copy machines and typewriters.

Antidpated

1995
Mailing and Postage

$45,000

Budget

1996
$43,925

Mailings are a significant service provided to members and potential members. In light of
recent postal rates increases, we have budgeted a 14% increase for fisca11996. CMF has
experienced an increased volume of major mailings (MCFYP and Directory services) as well
as increased utilization of overnight delivery. Management is exploring ways to reduce
mailing costs.

$53,925

Supply costs include nonnal office supplies required such as paper, letterhead, labels, file
folders, etc. Supplies have increased with the addition of staff, growth of programming, and
expanded workstation spaces. Costs are allocated among the major program areas, with the
community foundation grants assuming approximately half of the expenses. As we attempt to
move to a more "paperless" office operation, with the assistance of electronic mail. we hope
to be able to reduce these costs in future years.

Insurance
Insurance expense for fiscal 1996 is comprised of:
Property and Casualty coverage
General Liability Umbrella
Directors' and Officers' Liability coverage

Budget
1996

temporary help. This option is used by management as an alternative to hiring staff whenever
possible.

example, to assist with the many publications we handle internally. Other staff attend
seminars in communication skills, management skills and employee benefits to name a few.

Meetings and Travel

Anticipated
1995
$90,000

Budget
1996

As a state-wide association, meetings and travel by CMF staff and officers are an integral part

of our service to members. Additional staff and increasing activities in philanthropy have
resulted in a sharp upward trend in costs for the last several years.
Core staff expect to incur normal travel expenses in 1996 carrying out the responsibilities of
their assigned areas. We estimate the cost at $20,850.
The addition of new staff members who will be traveling extensively to promote the
development of community foundations and youth activities will increase our travel budget
substantially. A detailed breakdown of the community foundation estimates totaling $79,500

COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW OF THE BUDGET
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 1996

The budget for fiscal year 1995-96 presents the combined operations of the Council of
Michigan Foundations, that is, the combination of what has been referred to as "core"
services in the past, the Michigan AIDS Fund supporting organization, and the community
foundation services which are largely funded by grants from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation
and which are held by the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project (MCFYP)
supporting organization. The rationale for this format is to represent the costs of all
services being provided by the Council of Michigan Foundations regardless of the source
of support.
Following the combined budget, detailed statements are included for the core and
community foundation (primarily MCFYP) operations. Following the financial schedules
is narrative which explains how each budget figure was derived. The narrative also
includes an estimate, for each line item, of the anticipated fiscal 1994-95 outcome for
comparative purposes.
The total operating budget which follows is a balanced budget with the fund balance being
maintained.

We thank you for your fast response in changing the upcoming Board Meeting
date. (Herb and seven other Board Members had last minute conflicts for March
28th.) As it turns out, the new date, April 12 is better for more Board Members.
Please mark your calendars.
Notice the change in location to the University Club. Save your Board Book, as
the agenda will remain the same.
We will count on seeing you, unless you call. (616- 842- 7080.)

Memo to:

Board of Trustees

From:

The Audit Committee
Mary Caroline Frey, Chair

Re:

1995 Auditor Appointment and Professional Fees

RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Council of Michigan Foundations
approve Ernst &amp; Young as the auditors for the Council ofMichigan Foundations and
two supporting organizations for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1995 at a fee of
$11,000.

Background
The two supporting organizations (Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
and the Michigan AIDS Fund) have requested separate audits and separate audit
reports for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1995. This requires Ernst &amp; Young to
perform additional testing in order to render a separate audit opinion for each entity.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the audited financial statements of
CMF will include the financial activities of the two supporting organizations even
though separate reports will be issued for the supporting organizations at the request
of the respective Boards.
The professional fees for last year's combined audit were $8,000. Ernst &amp; Young
proposes to perform the audit for the combined entity for $8,500 and render an audit
report for the two supporting organizations for an additional $1,125 for each. The
total professional fees are proposed to be $11,000.

Council of Michigan Foundations
Annual Report/1995-9&amp;

�1

essage to Members
Fiscal Year 1995-96 has been a year of successful, challenging transitions for the Council
of Michigan Foundations. Four deserve special comment. The first transition was one of
leadership, with four Board members retiring
and Mariam C. Noland stepping in as Chair
after the untimely passing of Chairman,
Herbert H. Dow. We are grateful for the
many contributions ofJudy Hooker, Gil
Hudson, Donald Lindow, and Leonard Smith.
The second transition was in management as
Dave Lindberg and Rob Collier joined us as
director of finance/ administration and vice
president/ chief operating officer respectively,
replacing Anne Stoll and Kathy Agard. The
third transition has been in our programs as
we have worked to implement the new Five
Year Strategic Plan that so many of our members helped design.
The highlights shared in this Annual Report
confirm that Board, staff and members combined to successfully meet these transitions,
using creativity, leadership, and collaboration
to realize positive results.

Social and economic conditions coupled with
government regulation and devolution provide
uncertainty and apprehension for our nonprofit
world. CMF, grantmakers, nonprofits, and the
public, working together, can successfully
address these challenges and, we believe, achieve
grand results. We will continue to advocate for
support of legislation to stimulate the growth of
philanthropy. Public policy, communications,
and new collaborations will characterize our
work on your behalf in 1996-97.
As you read about CMF's year, we hope you
will keep in mind how much we have
accomplished by working together. Herb
Dow so often said: "collaborate." New people, new initiatives, and new resources are the
devices grantmakers need to successfully meet
the challenges that lie ahead. We look forward to continuing our work with you in
CMF's many activities.

�A Tribute to Herbert H. Dow
CMF Chair 1994-1996

n Januar 26, 996, the Council of Michigan
Foundations lost a valued colleague, leader,
friend and p ilanthropist. Herbert H. Dow
II served C F w&amp;th pride and dignity for
more than 24 years.
Herb's inv0lvement with CMF began when
h joinea.d r initial steering committee in
1972. He was elected a trustee for a second
time in 1985 and was appointed vice chairman of private foundations from 1992 to
1994. His active CMF participation culminated in his appointment as board chair in
June, 1994.
As the tenth chairman of the Board of
Trustees, Herb provided outstanding guidance and vision. He oversaw the implementation of CMF's new five-year strategic plan;
established the $1 million Russell G. Mawby
Endowment Fund to Improve and Increase
Philanthropy; began a collaborative project

Herbert H. Dow II

with the Michigan Community Service
Commission; and opened a Detroit office to
better service southeast Michigan members.
Those of us who had the privilege of working with Herb are surely the better for it. He
exemplified the philanthropic spirit through
his corrununity leadership, encouragement,
and personal example.
In the years he shared with us, Herb frequently spoke about his belief in the power
of collaboration. During CMF's 23rd annual
conference, he said " .. .part of our ongoing
role in the foundation community is to stimulate others to be involved in philanthropy."
In tribute to Herb, we urge you to follow his
lead: Acquaint yourself with other philanthropists in your community and work to
form lasting collaborative relationships. Herb
did these things so very well.

The CMF Board invites individuals, foundations and corporate grantmakers to re~ember their colleagues, mentors and friends by making endowment fund contributions to 'further CMF programming.
Donors may direct their gift to specific purposes or the existing endowment funds described below.

New FundThe Ruth and Russell Mawby Fund for Kids
Russ and Ruth Mawby established this $500,000
endowment fund, as part of grant funds allocated
by the WK. Kellogg Foundation, to honor and
recognize Russ' years of service as Chairman and
CEO of the foundation. The Mawby's fund will
assist CMF in strenthening the involvement of
youth in philanthropy. Dr. and Mrs. Mawby and
their children will continue to advise the CMF
Board on the best uses of the funds.

The Russell G. Mawby Fund to Improve
and Increase Philanthropy

The William W. Allen
Fund
Since its establishment in
1989 as the first CMF
endowment fund, the
William WAllen Fund
has helped to further
representation of private
philanthropy in federal
and state legislative and
William W.Allen
regulatory matters. The
(1908- 1987)
Fund, enables CMF to present a biennial seminar
_ for legislators and their aids, and to distribute complimentary copies of The Michigan Foundation
Directory to each legislative office.

Last year, the CMF board established the Russell
G. Mawby Fund to Improve and Increase
Philanthropy in Michigan to honor Dr. Mawby's
significant contributions to Michigan philanthropy.
Contributions amounting to over $1.5 million
were received from more than 90 individuals,
foundations, and corporations. Income from the
Fund is providing seed funding for new collaboratives, such as the K-12 project.

The first Maw by Fund for Kids intern, Erin
Gardiner, began her internship at CMF in early
Spring, 1996.

�Michigan Community
Foundations'Youth _Project
In 1988, when the $49 million Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth Project
(MCFYP) was established in partnership with
the WK. Kellogg Foundation, Michigan had
34 community foundations serving 28 counties. Today, 52 community foundations and 28
affiliates service 73 Michigan counties. Since
1988, community foundation grantmaking has
increased 93% to nearly $36 million and assets
have jumped by 205% to $712,728,426.
The purpose of MCFYP is to foster the development of Michigan community foundations
and to involve youth in grantmaking by offering challenge grants to community foundations meeting project criteria.
Michigan's community foundations now have
established permanent youth endowments valued at $27,324,086, overseen by more than
1 ,200 high school youth serving on youth
advisory committees (YACs) . Since MCFYP's
inception,YACs have made more than 1,120
grants totaling over $2 million to meet local
needs . In 1995/ 96, the Capital Region
Community Foundation, the Charlevoix
County Community Foundation, the Hillsdale
Community Foundation, and the Community
Foundation of St. Clair County completed the

terms of the $1 million Kellogg challenge.
Fourteen community foundations have now
completed the Kellogg challenge, which is
scheduled to end in 1998.
In addition, MCFYP awarded 54 mini-grants
totaling $40,290 for community foundation
board and staff training, administrative support,
and fund development training in 1995/96.
Finally, a companion grant from the Kellogg
Foundation assists community foundations in
implementing a common foundation information management system (FIMS).

"This is our chance to have some influence in our
community, resolve our dtfferences and reach consensus."

Community Foundations' Youth Project
(MCFYP) and the Michigan AIDS Fund
(MAF) became supporting organizations of
CMF under the provisions of Section
509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
CMF exercises control over these organizations through the appointment of board
members of each of these organizations.

of the Internal Revenue Code.
Grants &amp; Contributions Receivable due in
future years of$7,116,000 and $10,045 ,000

FINAL PROGRAM

23rd Annual Conference of the
Council of Michigan Foundations
Radisson Plaza Hotel, Kalamazoo
November 8-10,1995

�HONORARY CHAIRPERSONS

Guido A. and Elizabeth H. Binda
The naming of the Honorary Chair of CMF' s
Annual Conference is a way in which our organization pays tribute to a special individual (or individuals) in the Michigan field of philanthropy. This tradition, by its nature, calls for the selection of persons who are leaders in and contributors to the
widening horizons of philanthropy.
Guido A. and Elizabeth H. Binda created the
foundation which carries their name in 1977, serving
as president and vice president, respectively. The
purpose of the Binda Foundation is "to support
innovative projects that improve the vitality and
quality of people's lives." Toward this end, seed
money is provided for projects on the forefront of
experimentation and research in areas such as education, youth, the arts, and the environment.
Guido Binda, a noted architect, specialized in
school design, until his retirement in 1984. Elizabeth
was a dedicated educator in several universities and
is a former Director of Elementary Education for the
Battle Creek Public Schools District.
The civic and philanthropic commitment of the
Bindas is evidenced by a legion of honors, activities,
and affiliations too extensive to allow for more than
the mention of a selected few.
Guido is a member of the Board of the Western
Michigan University Foundation, Mental Health
Professional Associates, Visiting Nurses of
Southwest Michigan, and he is a 52-year member of
the Lions Club. He formerly was a Board member
of such organizations such as the Child Guidance
Clinic and the Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek. He
is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
Elizabeth currently serves as a Board member of
the Kellogg Community College, Greater Battle
Creek (Community) Foundation, and the Irving S.
Gilmore International Keyboard Festival. She is a
former Board member of the Council of Michigan
Foundations, State Bar Grievance Board, Calhoun
County Reading Council, United Arts Council, and
American National Bank. She holds a Distinguished
Alumni award from Northern Michigan University
where she received her B.A. degree. Her M.A.
degree is from the University of Michigan.
The Council of Michigan Foundations proudly
salutes its honorary chairpersons for the 1995
Conference: Guido and Elizabeth Binda.

�DEAR FOUNDATION AND CORPORATE GRANTMAKERS:

Welcome back to West Michigan and to CMF' s
Annual Conference "The Widening Horizons of
Philanthropy!" At no other time in philanthropy's
history has the importance of looking at all of our
options been more critical. Whether it be expanding
our thinking of how to get things done, or exploring
the best way to make use of all of our resources
together, our horizons need to be as wide as the
scope of our collective imagination can take us.
This year's conference in Kalamazoo brings
together the best and the brightest our field has to
offer. Creating partnerships for our future, looking
at our community's strengths and building on them,
assessing the national and state political climate to
help us with decision making, untangling the maze
of the information superhighway and what that
means to us and our grantees, and looking at model
programs that work are a few examples of the
chances for learning and interacting that our
Program Committee has planned. And of course,
the special surprise, our Donor's Platform speaker,
that I can assure you will be unforgettable!
The Host Committee has built on the rich cultural mosaic that is Kalamazoo. This community has
taken the sum of all its parts and produced site visits and entertainment for you that will long be
remembered. Kalamazoo has indeed "pulled out all
the stops!"
I am so grateful to be sharing this year's conference with my good friends, Elizabeth and Guido
Binda, as Honorary Chairpersons. A pair truly
committed to giving back, not just their resources,
but their time and expertise.
Thank you for joining us and enjoy the conference.

Speakers: Margaret E. Mahoney, Past President,

A panel of experts who represent four critical areas
of concern to the grantmaking community has
been carefully assembled. The panelists will present their insights and recommendations related to
their specific fields and to The Widening Horizons
of Philanthropy. An open-ended discussion of
education, foundations, government, and corporations will search out the interlocking - often
mutually dependent - roles of these distinctly
different sectors.

David Owen Norris is
the first Irving S.
Gilmore Artist, an
honor he received
through a 'competition'
he knew nothing about
- the Gilmore Artist &amp;
Young Artists Awards.
The Gilmore Awards, new to the music world,
use a nomination and selection process so discreet that only by winning does a pianist ever
know he or she had been considered. His was
the most distinctive voice the judges heard,
the deepest and most exciting level of musicianship they encountered. Norris, who has
performed widely in Europe, brings to everything he plays profoundly interesting interpretations, an individual and mesmerizing voice.
It was this that caused the Irving S. Gilmore
International Keyboard Festival to unanimously select him as the Gilmore Artist.

Jobs of the Future
The Glens II, Plaza Level

Partnering With MIS and Enlisting a Champion
in Your Organization (7 hrs.)
The Flats, Plaza Level

Future job prospects concern each of us, from
graduates about to look for their first job, to
midcareer employees who wonder about job security.
Dramatic changes have transformed the U.S. labor
market during the last two decades, resulting in
fewer good-paying entry level jobs, less job security,
more part-time and temporary jobs, and more
frequent job changes. Workers are also under
increased pressure to increase their skills and raise
their productivity. Yet, skilled workers find their
real wages growing only modestly, if at all, and lowskilled workers find their real wages actually
declining. What lies ahead for the American worker?
What types of jobs will be available to the workforce
ten years from now? What qualifications will be
expected of workers? This session provides a
national and regional perspective on these issues.

Informal discussion on the Foundation Center's
latest information; and an exchange of ideas and
solutions to concerns.

Attacking Urban Poverty:
What We Know and Don't Know
The Glens III, Plaza Level
Despite strong economic growth during the last
fifteen years, the share of persons in poverty has
risen from 12 to 15 percent. Why do we seem to be
losing the war on poverty? Economists offer several
explanations, including demographic shifts, policy
changes, and fewer good-paying jobs for low-skilled
workers. Yet, at the same time, the poverty rate is
increasing, significant cuts in federal programs have
been proposed. This session provides a national and
regional perspective on the trends in poverty,
changes in the characteristics of the poor, and factors
that influence the poverty rate. It then discusses
what we know, don't know, and need to know about
assisting the poor to overcome employment barriers
and how to find and qualify for decent-paying jobs.

Paul Newman is probably best known for his spectacularly successful food conglomerate. In addition to giving the profits to charity, he also ran
Frank Sinatra out of the spaghetti business. On the downside, the spaghetti
sauce is outgrossing his films.
He did graduate from Kenyon College magna cum lager, and the process
begat a laundry business which was the only student-run enterprise on Main
Street. Yale University later awarded him an honorary doctorate of Humane
Letters for unknown reasons.
He has won four Sports Car Club of America National Championships and
is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the oldest driver (70) to win a
professionally sanctioned race (24 hours of Daytona, 1995).
He is married to the best actress on the planet, was number 19 on Nixon's
enemy list, and purely by accident, has done 51 films and four Broadway plays.
He is generally considered by professionals to be the worst fisherman on the
east coast.
Paul Newman has said his charitable work is "a concrete kick in the rear that
gives me a tremendous charge."
There probably is no better example of that philosophy in action than his
Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for children. A while back, Reader's Digest carried
a five-page article on this unique camp for youngsters. They called it a "magic
place ... where youngsters with life-threatening illnesses don't have to sit on the
sidelines." The article went on to point out: "Hole in the Wall is the only one
(camp) built expressly for these kids and their special needs."
Now, with the financial support and guidance of Paul Newman, and many
others, the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp i~ being replicated here in the United
States and abroad.

THE WIDENING HORIZONS OF

PHILANTHROPY

23rd Annual Conference of the
Council of Michigan Foundations
Radisson Plaza Hotel, Kalamazoo Center
November 8-10, 1995

�ABouT THE CouNCIL oF MICHIGAN FoUNDATIONs

The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) is a nonprofit association of 344 Michigan grantrnakers, including 185 private foundations, 53 community foundations, 76 corporate foundations and giving programs,
and 10 public charities. CMF began in 1973 and was
incorporated in 1975 to improve and increase philanthropy in Michigan.

Other constituencies are served as they relate to CMF's
purposes and include all other Michigan foundations
and corporate grantrnakers, national government representatives, the media, grantees, the national and
regional grantrnaking communi~ and the general
public.
CMF is affiliated with the Council on Foundations and
35 other regional associations throughout the country.

ABOUT THE TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The 1995 Council of Michigan Foundations' Annual
Conference will be a first for the Kalamazoo area.
We look forward to bringing together foundations
and corporate giving officers to share insights and
take advantage of a diverse selection of learning
opportunities. Our theme is "The Widening
Horizons of Philanthropy" and the date and place
will be: November 8-10 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel.

lights include a performance Wednesday evening by
the first Irving S. Gilmore Artist, David Owen
Norris. Thursday evening attendees will be treated
to an exciting concert which brings the great singer
and musician, Mel Torme, together with the Gold
Company and the University Jazz Orchestra.
Additional entertainment includes performances by
The Kalamazoo Symphony String Quartet and
WMU Student Jazz Quartet.

The Program Committee has developed a conference
schedule that enables registrants to examine the
themes and issues that are determining today's philanthropic agenda. Those issues will likely affect us
well into the next century. New features this year
include mini-plenary sessions which will provide
grantmakers an opportunity to explore topics such
as Corporate Citizenship, Creating Communities in
the 21st Century, Diversity, Violence Prevention,
Urban Poverty, Information Superhighway, and
Community Development. Other programs include
community benchmarking, health care reform, jobs
of the future, stewardship, social responsibility,
youth as decision makers and many more.
Management sessions include investments, evaluation, accountability and ethics, professional development, grantmaking basics, etc. In addition, technical
sessions will be offered to community foundations,
corporate giving foundations, family foundations,
independent foundations and public charities.

Foundation and corporate trustees, officers, staff
members, bankers, attorneys, volunteers, donors
and consultants will find the slate of programs and
activities at the 23rd Annual Conference innovative,
informative, and timely.

Individuals registering for the 23rd Annual Conference
before the Early Registration deadline of October 18th will
be entered into a special drawing. The winner's name will
be posted in the "Gathering Place" at the opening of the
conference.
We look forward to seeing you, your colleagues, and
friends in Kalamazoo.

Your Conference Host Committee has done a superb
job of assembling a range of tours based on neighborhood community development, education, the
environment, and science and history. Other high2

The Widening Horizons of Philanthropy
5:00- 6:15p.m.
As it should, the opening plenary session of this

which follow it.

Reception and entertainment hosted by NBD Bank.
Dinner and Program
7:30-9:30 p.m.

A panel of experts who represent four critical
areas of concern to the grantmaking community
has been carefully assembled. The panelists will
present their insights and recommendations
related to their specific fields and to The
Widening Horizons of Philanthropy. An openended discussion of education, foundations,
government, and corporations will search out
the interlocking- often mutually dependentroles of these distinctly different sectors.

Following dinner, CMF friends and colleagues will
be entertained by a very talented pianist:

• Dick Posthumus, Majority Leader, Michigan
State Senate, Lansing.

David Owen Norris is the
first Irving S. Gilmore
Artist, an honor he
received through a 'competition' he knew nothing
about - the Gilmore Artist
&amp; Young Artists Awards.
The Gilmore Awards, new
to the music world, use a
nomination and selection
process so discreet that
only by winning does a pianist ever know he or
she had been considered. His was the most distinctive voice the judges heard, the deepest and
most exciting level of musicianship they encountered. Norris, who has performed widely in
Europe, brings to everything he plays profoundly
interesting interpretations, an individual and mesmerizing voice. It was this that caused the Irving
S. Gilmore International Keyboard Festival to
unanimously select him as the Gilmore Artist.

• John L. Zabriskie, Chairman, The Upjohn
Company, Kalamazoo.

Program hosted by Irving S. Gilmore International
Keyboard Festival

At the same time, panelists will offer their views
on the future impact of a new political climate
which suggests that, as governments pledge to
do less, private philanthropy and public charities
can be expected to do more than ever before.
Panelists:
• Margaret Mahoney, Past President, The
Commonwealth Fund, New York, NY.
• Tessa Martinez Pollack, President, MiamiDade Community College Medical Center
Campus, Miami-Dade, FL.

• Tim Skubick, Moderator, PBS Commentator,
Lansing.

your grants in improving the quality of life in your
community? You're not alone. This session's panelists from three communities will discuss their

Jobs of the Future

Community Foundations: Development Issues for
Community Foundations

Future job prospects concern each of us, from graduates about to look for their first job, to rnidcareer
employees who wonder about job security. Dramatic
changes have transformed the U.S. labor market during the last two decades, resulting in fewer good-paying entry level jobs, less job security, more part-time
and temporary jobs, and more frequent job changes.
Workers are also under increased pressure to increase
their skills and raise their productivity. Yet, skilled
workers find their real wages growing only modestly,
if at all, and low-skilled workers find their real wages
actually declining. What lies ahead for the American
worker? What types of jobs will be available to the
workforce ten years from now? What qualifications
will be expected of workers? This session provides a
national and regional perspective on these issues.

Development Officers from community foundations
will be available to answer questions, discuss successes and failures, strategies and procedures in
serving community donors. This is an informal session designed to address development issues for
community foundations of all sizes.

discussion with other corporate grantmakers.

12:45-2:30 p.m.

Speaker: William C. Richardson
CEO and President

This information session will look at some of the
issues posed in the previous Family Foundation session and teach us how to differentiate between structural and communication problems. New communication skills dealing with listening, giving feedback,
and position bargaining will be considered along with
how generational and gender differences influence
communication. The session is intended to enhance
understanding of small group interaction and to teach
new communication and decision making skills.

William Richardson is no stranger to the world of philanthropy. He has served on task forces, advisory and
steering committees, and governing boards of such

Corporation, Battelle Memorial Institute, and the U.S.
Department of State. He has been widely published on

Proposals: How to Separate the Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly
This session will discuss philosophies and techniques
for distinguishing promising proposals from those
which, while well written, are unlikely to succeed.
Scholarship Roundtable: Federal Update/Financial
Aid Packaging/Future Challenges
What are the changes at the federal level regarding
financial aid programs? What is the impact of those
changes on scholarships awarded by foundations,
and how is foundation money for scholarships best
used? How do financial aid officers put together a
package, and how do they adjust packages when
external awards are received? These and other questions will be answered by the experts.

He holds an M.B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of
Chicago.
William Richardson is known as a man of creative
ideas, sound decisions, and deliberative actions. He
brings his wealth of experience to Michigan in the leadership role at one of the nation's foremost private foundations. Here is your opportunity to hear his views,
firsthand, on the challenges and changes ahead in the
field of grantmaking.

Community Foundations: Focusing Your
Grantmaking
Some foundations award grants through a system of
grant focusing. Trustees and staff compare proposals
addressing identified priorities at specified times of
the grant cycle. Learn how two foundations focused
their grantmaking resources and what resulted from it.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS

Ethical &amp; Legal Responsibilities of Trustees:
Staying Out of Newspapers- Staying Out of Jail

Community Foundations: Introduction to FIMS

Trustees find themselves at times with ethical or
legal dilemmas to which they must respond. What
skills and knowledge are needed to address such
issues? As a trustee what are your responsibilities?

By the end of 1995 over one half of Michigan

software for donor tracking, grant tracking, and
fund accounting. Join the experts to review the
implementation process and see the components of
the system.

"So You Want To Give"
Have you ever thought about organizing your own
giving? Learn about the advantages of creating a
foundation or establishing a fund in a community
foundation, and any pitfalls. Would you like to know
of some of the best and best-tested ways to make
meaningful gifts, no matter what their size? Join one
individual whose expertise in this area has helped
hundreds of individuals give their resources, through
satisfying, meaningful planning. Come with your
questions, leave with the information and answers.

Community Foundations: Young People Creating
Community Change
Young people are creating community change and
many adults are allies in the process. This workshop
will provide practical tools to help young people plan
programs of their own choosing at the community
level. Based on recent workbooks published by the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation, it will include information
on successful community-based youth programs,
hands-on learning activities and training materials,
and step-by-step ways for involving young people in
creating community change -with or without the
assistance of adults.

�Refreshment Break
4:00-4:15 p.m.

Attacking Urban Poverty: What We Know and
Don't Know
Despite strong economic growth during the last fifteen years, the share of persons in poverty has risen
from 12 to 15 percent. Why do we seem to be losing
the war on poverty? Economists offer several explanations, including demographic shifts, policy
changes, and fewer good-paying jobs for low-skilled
workers. Yet, at the same time, the poverty rate is
increasing, significant cuts in federal programs have
been proposed. This session provides a national and
regional perspective on the trends in poverty,
changes in the characteristics of the poor, and factors
that influence the poverty rate. It then discusses
what we know, don't know, and need to know about
assisting the poor to overcome employment barriers
and find and qualify for decent-paying jobs.

MINI PLENARY SESSIONS
4:15- 5:30p.m.
Up the Down Escalator: Strategies for Building
Stronger Communities
Communities are changing. Boundaries of cities are
expanding. Sometimes, as we try to assess and
improve these changes, funders feel as if they are
running up a down escalator. David Rusk, strategist
and author of "Cities without Suburbs," will help us
to examine the strategies for building stronger communities.
Valuing Diversity in the Workplace

Violence Prevention: A Vision for Hope

Often, members of teams - all competent and loyal
employees- don't recognize the differences
between them that keep them from being productive. Through the powerful tools of interactive
drama and audience participation, familiar workplace experiences and limiting attitudes will be
explored.

Violence as a public and social issue challenges
Michigan's communities. This presentation will provide factual information on the degree of the problem and provide perspective on novel approaches
that funders may consider, as they work with people
in neighborhoods to reduce the causes of violence,
and enrich community life.

The Status of Health Care Reform

opportunities are being created for communities and
philanthropy? The presenter will provide an overview
of policy at the federal and state levels, respondents
will react and relate their own experiences.

Corporate Giving: A Corporate Strategy for
Saying "No"

Participants will be able to enjoy breakfast with peers
at topical tables of interest; experienced trustees or
staff will host the discussions. Table topics to include:
finance, succeeding trustees, donor intent, proactive
grantrnaking, program idea exchange, identifying
cooperative funding partners, and technology for
family foundations.

From the board room to the local community, corporate
funders are bombarded with funding requests. Board
members, employees, shareholders, and customers all
bring special pressures to bear on corporate funding
decisions. Are you looking for ways to make this decision process manageable? Do you need to help your
CEO and board say "no"? This dialogue session will
focus on the role that an effective set of guidelines will
play in dealing with the pressures on corporate grantmakers. Attendees will learn how guidelines can
streamline the grantmaking process, help corporate
funders deal fairly with the various influences, and
maintain credibility and accountability for decisions.

Buffet Breakfast
7:30 - 8:30 a.m.
This is an opportunity to gather with your colleagues
to discuss mutual interests and concerns. Conference

Closing Luncheon/Donor's Platform
12:15 - 1:45 p.m.
From the peak of the entertainment world - a
star of extraordinary fame and achievements, a
philanthropist of outstanding esteem- will be
the honored guest for this year's Donor Platform.
Plan to arrive early if you want a "front row"
seat in what will undoubtedly be a "standing
room only" audience. This opportunity is so
exciting, CMF has decided to sen.d a very special
announcement to you in the next few days. A
touch of suspense, an increase of anticipation?
Absolutely. We believe you will agree, it is warranted. One thing is certain: You won't want to
miss out on the memorable closing session of the
23rd Annual Conference!

Communities Accessing Resources Engaged in Service
is known as CARES. Michigan CARES is a national
demonstration project funded by the Corporation for
National Community Service and the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation. It assists six communities in developing
comprehensive, collaborative plans for community
service. The project is a partnership between the
Michigan Community Service Commission and the
Council of Michigan Foundations. The focus of this
session will be on the lessons learned from a national
demonstration project that tests the effectiveness of a
collaborative, community-based planning process for
national and community service.
Reach Out and Touch Someone - Your Grantee!
Feedback as a Tool to Quality Grantmaking
Management theory holds that everyone in an organization interacts with someone who is a customer.
Grantseekers are grantmakers' customers. Several
Michigan foundations have recently sought feedback
from their grantees- both those who were successful
in securing grants and those who were not. Learn
the process of designing and implementing an
input/ evaluation tool as three foundations share the
feedback they received.
Community Foundations: Michigan Community
Foundations Working Together to Grow
Community foundations working with CMF have
helped each other with many mutually beneficial
projects- restriction dollars; tax credit; challenge
grant; computer project. Come to learn some exciting ideas for the future .
Community Foundations: How Can Adults Work
Collaboratively with Young People?
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation established an initiative
within community foundations that places young
people under the age of 21 in positions that have traditionally been held by adults -that of grantrnakers.
A panel of YAC Advisors (Youth Advisory Council)
will share tools and tips on how to collaboratively
work with young people.

                    <text>CLOSING LUNCHEON/
DONOR'S PLATFORM SPEAKER:

PAUL NEWMAN
In the preliminary program you received we
promised you an esteemed guest as speaker at
the closing luncheon.
Paul Newman says of himself very little.
He claims to be the worst fisherman on the east
coast. He told USA Weekend he "had no intention of becoming a philanthropist," he just
wanted "to do something to help."
We're not about to suggest any shadings of
fine points. We won't mention his many film
classics or his superb Broadway plays. We
won't praise his mouth-watering spaghetti
sauce. We won't dwell on his mountains of
awards, honors, and recognitions. We won't
draw attention to his acumen as a successful
businessman. We don't have the space and he
wouldn't approve.
We will, however point out that Paul
Newman is a philanthropist of the first order.
A man who donates extraordinary amounts of
money and time each year to helping children
who truly need and deserve a supporting hand.
He says his charitable work is "a concrete kick
in the rear that gives me a tremendous charge."
There probably is no better example of that
philosophy in action than his Hole in the Wall
Gang Camp for children. A while back,
Reader's Digest carried a five-page article on
this unique camp for youngsters. They called it
a "magic place ...where youngsters with lifethreatening illnesses don't have to sit on the
sidelines." The article went on to point out:
"Hole .in the Wall is the only one (camp) built
expressly for these kids and their special
needs." Now, with the financial support and
guidance of Paul Newman, and many others,
the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is being replicated here in the United States and abroad.
The story of the camp is best told by Paul
Newman, its founder.
We'll hear that story - and more - from
this exceptional human being when he speaks
to the CMF audience in Kalamazoo on
November 10. Call CMF at 616/842-7080 to
obtain registration information.

The meeting was called to order at 10:10 a.m. by Mr. Smith. At this time, representatives

the responsibilities given to the Supporting Organization Committee and noted that the
annual meeting of the member (CMF) would be held for each supporting organization
according to the respective bylaws of these organizations.

Annual Meeting of the Member of the Michigan AIDS Fund
The Annual Meeting of the Member of the Michigan AIDS Fund was called to order. Ms.
Getz presented the President's report beginning with a brief background of the Michigan
AIDS Fund. Ms. Getz then reported on the activities of the past year including major
accomplishments in the areas of fund raising, grantmaking and other program areas.
Mr. Kossick reported on the success of the Michigan AIDS Fund grantmaking efforts
stressing the collaborative nature of many of the grants. Mr. Kossick described the
extensive amount of technical assistance that is provided to grantees by the Michigan
AIDS Fund Board members and the consistent attempts to introduce programming models
that operate effectively to grantees in need of assistance. He further described the nature,
participation and success of the grantee workshops held throughout the state.

�Mr. Hudson inquired whether the Michigan AIDS Fund had received any negative
attention from the media or elsewhere and whether this had any reflection upon the
Council of Michigan Foundations. Ms. Getz stated that there was surprisingly no negative
attention to the Fund; rather, the attention seemed to be positive, if anything.
Ms. Getz reported that the Fund's guiding principles and practices were being refined.
Mr. Smith inquired about the relationship with the Greystone Group which provides
project consultation and the full-time services of Mr. Earl Schipper to the Michigan AIDS
Fund. Mr. Kossick responded that the Michigan AIDS Fund is dealing with this issue in
its current strategic planning process and has acknowledged that the Fund needs the
services which are currently being provided. Mr. Kossick acknowledged the significance
of the contribution of time and talent from the Greystone Group. He further went on to
say that these services were critical especially in light of the fact that the Board will facing
its first substantial turnover of five trustees and the concern that these new Board
members may not have time to give the hands-on technical assistance that the founding
Board members were able to give. Never-the-less, the Board agreed that trustee
involvement in site visits would continue regardless of the potential time limitations of new
Board members.
The Treasurer's Report given by Mr. Patterson with the assistance of Ms. Stoll. Mr.
Patterson briefed the Committee on fund raising efforts and Ms. Stoll presented a three
year fmancial history of the Fund's revenues and expenses.
The Nominating Committee report was presented for approval of the Supporting
Organizations Committee. The Michigan AIDS Fund seeks approval to add the following
individuals to the Board of Trustees:
Michael Boucree, M.D., M.P.H., Aint Wellness Network
Carolee Dodge-Francis, Director of Health Promotion
Dickinson-Iron District Health Department
Jay Kaplan, Attorney, Michigan Protection &amp; Advocacy Services
Dexter Shurney, M.D.,M.B.A., Blue Cross I Blue Shield of Michigan
Henrie Treadwell, Ph.D., Program Director, Health Programming
W.K. Kellogg Foundation
In the way of new business, Michigan AIDS Fund representatives reviewed plans for next
year's annual conference in Detroit to be held April 6 - 7 at the Hotel Pontchartrain. In
addition, it was noted that on-going meetings would be held with Detroit-area funders to
avoid duplication as well as avoid overlooking worthy grant opportunities.

�Mr. Smith indicated that each supporting organization was to be reviewed every three
years to insure that the project continues to support and further the purposes and mission
of the Council of Michigan Foundations, the project is not opposed by, or will not
adversely affect a significant number of members and that the project will not adversely
affect CMF' s image or CMF in accomplishing the tasks described in its Plan of Work.
The Committee agreed that the supporting organizations should be reviewed under this
criteria at the November, 1996 meeting-- three years subsequent to the approval of the
organizations by the Board of Trustees of CMF.
There being no further business, the Michigan AIDS Fund representatives were thanked
for their report and excused from the Committee Meeting.

Annual Meeting of the Member of the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Proiect
Mr. Marshall and Mr. Swaney, representing the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth

Mr. Smith opened the discussion with a review of the purpose of the Supporting
Organization Committee.
Mr. Marshall presented the President's report which is appended to the official copy of the
minutes. Mr. Marshall indicated that five trustees' terms expire in 1995 andreappointment by the Council of Michigan Foundations is necessary for the following

�Mr. Smith inquired about the youth involvement in the community foundations and how
the youth initiative was being evaluated. Ms. Agard responded that the youth advisory
committees are involved in all aspects of grantmaking including needs assessments and
fund raising. She commented that there are presently 1200 young people serving on youth
committees in 31 community foundations and over $925,000 in grants have been made by
the youth committees in almost 400 grants. The W.K. Kellogg grant requires that an
independent evaluation be performed which has been ongoing and favorable thus far.
The Committee asked about a conflict of interest policy and it was reported that such a
policy was adopted at the first organizational meeting of MCFYP. The Committee also
inquired about a principles and practices statement. It was reported that this would be
presented at the November MCFYP Board meeting.
Mr. Swaney, Chief Investment Officer for the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, discussed
the investment strategy which had been implemented to make secure investments in U.S.
Treasury securities with maturities matching estimated grant payout schedules. He
referred the Committee to the Investment Objectives and Guidelines which had been
established by the Investment Committee of MCFYP. The Supporting Organization
Committee recommended that "Guidelines" be changed to "Policies."
There being no further business, the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
representatives were thanked for their report and excused from the Committee Meeting.

Committee.
The Committee agreed that it should convene a meeting once annually for the purpose of
attending to the matters of the Annual Meeting of the Member of the supporting
organizations and other matters as deemed appropriate.
There being no further business, the Supporting Organization Committee adjourned at
12:15 p.m.

Signed, Leonard W. Smith
Committee Chair

Memo To:

Board of Trustees

From:

Dorothy A. Johnson

Re;

Regional Association/Council on Foundations Proposal

The attached proposal outlines a proposal whereby RAGs (24 in the country including CMF)
would do the following:
•
•
•

Mfiliate themselves as a national consortium
As a Consortium, become a supporting organization of the Council on Foundations
Assume increased responsibility for the costs of the Consortium's services to RAGs and their
Members

I am Chair of the RAG Committee as well as the Future's Committee of The Regional Initiative.
I would hope that the Board would endorse this concept. The exact cost has not been
determined, but CMF would pay a large percentage along with Chicago, New York, Los Angeles,
and San Francisco, due to our size.
Enclosed please see further description of the proposal.

lbpladmintbdottust/memoiRAG-COF

�PROPOSED

+ That regional associations of grantmakers affiliate themselves as a national consortium;
•

That the consortium become a supporting organization of the Council on Foundations;
+ That the consortium members assume increased responsibility for the costs of the
consortium's services to RAGs and their members

EVOLUTION OF A CONCEPT
This proposal stems from both evolution within the field of philanthropy and in RAG/Council
relations.
•

Philanthropic infrastructure supports increasingly complex network of local, regional and
national organizations and institutions with growing sets of diverse needs

•

Among the most prominent components of the infrastructure are the Council on Foundations
and regional associations of grantmakers (RAGs)--some of which are older than COF

•

A growing number of philanthropic organizations (many of which belong to the RAGs and/or
Council) rely on the combined leadership and services of both of these entities, and would
benefit by their being more closely and formally interrelated.

•

COF and RAGs have long history of cooperation

•

0

COF has long recognized importance of RAGs' outreach to field of philanthropy
by providing modest staff and conference support for them and placing their
representatives on Council board and committees- even though RAGs are not
Council members and do not pay for this affiliation.

0

RAGs draw upon the Council's research, lobbying, and other resources in order to
enhance service to their members. The Council draws upon RAGs' membership
networks to disseminate and gather information, to promote leadership and
service programs that support philanthropy and to position itself more strongly as
a national voice for philanthropy.

Most recent collaboration between RAGs and Council was The Regional Initiative (TRI)
0

A four-year program to strengthen the ability of RAGs to provide service to their
members, it also fostered communication and cooperation among them.

0

TRI produced a wealth of products and services of direct benefit to RAGs and
their members and greatly enhanced collaboration through electronic mail service,
peer exchanges and substantive conferences and workshops.

�• Successful implementation of TRlled to new understandings:
0 RAGs face unique challenges that are not shared by COF.
0 RAGs often are best able to help other RAGs surmount challenges they face.
0 RAGs need an organizational structure to enable them to speak, act and increase
their capacity collectively; the time has come for structure to evolve from a
committee of RAG executives to an alliance of service-provider institutions.
0 Even as awareness of their uniqueness has grown, RAGs also have discovered the
potential benefits of working even more closely with Council, as partners.
0 RAGs have learned that full-time staff support greatly enhances their ability to
serve their members, and feel a sense of urgency about having that continue.
0 RAGs and the Council together have learned that a national support structure to
provide adequate services to a growing field of RAGs requires more personnel
and financial resources than were being devoted before TRI.
CLIMATE OF SUPPORT FOR CONCEPT

• Successful TR1 experience has demonstrated the value of closer collaboration among RAGs
and between RAGs and the Council.
• Proposal represents result of year-long, facilitated process of careful study and discussion to
achieve consensus, among a significant majority of RAG executives, on a new arrangement.
• Key Council staff have been involved throughout these deliberations.
• Several key COF and RAG board members have already expressed support for this concept.
Several original TR1 fu.nders also endorse and/or anticipate more formal and equal
relationship between RAGs and the Council.
• Timing of RAG proposal coincides aptly with COF strategic planning process. Under
Objective #l of Goal D, the Council is encouraged to "Explore with RAGs the feasibility of
establishing a supporting organization of RAGs with a secretariat at the Council."
• Separate RAG/COF staff committee is concurrently developing a set of operational protocols
to facilitate greater cooperation between RAGs and the Council.
IMPLE:MENTATION OF PROPOSAL- IDGBLIGHTS
(also see attached proposed timetable)

3

�•

Proposed consortium would become supporting organization ofCOF in January, 96.

•

RAGs, on pro-rated basis, would contribute financial support to the consortium for purposes
of helping to underwrite national administrative and program support housed at Council.

•

Initial total cost of services and programs for RAGs and their members would be
approximately $180,000, funded by new support from RAGs, continued support from the
Council, and (initially) special transition grants.

•

Over a seven year period, RAGs would increase their share of the fmancial support to 50
percent of costs.

•

RAG national staff(l and 112 individuals) would provide active leadership to promotion of
RAG and consortium interests, provision of services/development of products for RAGs and
their members, technical assistance to RAGs, planning of meetings for consortium members,
coordinating collaborative programs and initiatives with Council and liaison with field of
philanthropy.

BENEFITS OF ~"EW STRUCTURE FOR RAGs AND COF
•

Opportunity to engage in joint planning as partners in support of philanthropy.

•

Creation of governance structure for RAGs to facilitate collective decision-making about
policies and programs; evolution of organization from support group for RAG executives to
alliance of regional institutions in partnership with a national institution.

•

More, better and more cost-effective services and products for RAGs and therefore RAG
members.

•

Opportunity, as partners, for RAGs and COF to develop collaborative rather than competitive
membership-building strategies.

•

Acknowledgment of unique role of RAGs within philanthropic infrastructure.

•

Clarification of ambiguities in current RAG/Council relations, and/or defmed responsibilities
and procedures for promoting each other's goals and objectives

iljs/FutureP11Dn.ing/Ltrsl994/Minut894

�'1ead." The description of the goal was also changed slightly to "Exercise leadership
through facilitating members' responses to needs in the state."
Mr. Leonard W. Smith reviewed the values statement of the Council of Michigan

Foundations noting that considerable time bad been expended by the Committee and the
Board in identifying these values and descnbing them appropriately. There was discussion
about the ''Diversity" value which resulted in the Board's agreement to condense the
commentary about diversity to: ''We are committee to encouraging diversity in
philanthropy." An additional value entitled "Service" was recommended and added.
Mr. Mariam C. Noland reviewed the six goals of the future plan which include:
network, advocate, increase, educate, promote and lead indicating the actions necessary to
accomplish these goals over the next five years. The activities included a notation as to
funding source indicating whether an activity would be considered a "core" activity which
would be funded by basic member dues or whether an activity would require special
funding outside of the regular dues structure. The activities were also prioritized into
actions which would take place in the early years of the future plan or the later years of the
plan. Several minor wording changes were suggested.
Mr. Gilbert Hudson presented the financial aspects of the future plan. Mr. Hudson
noted that a membership dues increase would be required in 1995 just to maintain the

current level of services offered by the Council of Michigan Foundations. He also noted
that dues will not have increased for five years if the proposed dues increase is
implemented in 1995. Mr. Hudson outlined the basic financial assumptions that member
dues would be structured fairly, special project funding would be solicited, operating
expenses would be closely monitored and the endowment fund opportunities would be
sought. Mr. Hudson presented the proposed dues structure along with various supporting
schedules. Mr. Hudson concluded by reviewing the estimated costs associated with
specially funded projects contained in the future plan over the next five years and the
impact upon the financial projection of revenues and expenses over the next five years
should the future plan be adopted.
After discussion and upon motion was duly made, supported and unanimously
carried, it was
RESOLVED that the future plan be adopted, including the proposed contnbution
increases.
President' Report
Staff members were excused at this time as the President outlined the proposed
staff plan to undertake the Future Plan. Following discussion and upon motion duly made,
supported and unanimously carried, it was
RESOLVED that Kathryn A Agard be elected Vice President for Programs.

Memo To:

Board of Trustees

From:

Dorothy A. Johnson

Re:

President's Report

We are pleased to update you on the following activities:

Directory:
• The ninth edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory will be available in mid-November. This
year, CMF assumed complete production , promotion, and distribution of the publication with L1e
Michigan League for Human Services being listed as co-publisher. To date more than 1000
orders have been received, 50% ahead of the last edition.
Improving Philanthropy Committee Report
• Yesterday. Today and Tomorrow is a new report summarizing the progress that has been made
over the past seven years in teaching college students about the part played by nonprofit
organizations in addressing the challenges and rewards of our democratic society. The new report
indicates that:
• Twenty-seven institutions of higher education in Michigan now offer classes or curricula
in philanthropy and volunteerism.
• When the Committee was formed in 1987, no Michigan college or university had
developed a comprehensive educational program addressing issues related to the interests
of nonprofit sector organizations, and few offered even single courses on the subject
• Today at least four campuses offer comprehensive programming including degree
programs, concentrations, and administrative and management cognates.
• Complimentary copies of the report have been sent to all CMF members.
Conferences and Workshops
• September 27, 1994 - The F ASB Is Coming and New Tax Regulations was cosponsored by CMF,
the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and the Accounting Aid Society. Members from all three
organizations attended this state-wide conference. Speakers from Clark, Klein &amp; Beaumont and
Ernst &amp; Young (CMF' s legal counsel and auditors) did an outstanding job.
•

September 30, 1994 - CMF provided staff assistance to nine Detroit area foundation and
corporate program officers in sponsoring the second Improving The Grant Proposal Process
seminar. This meeting attracted more than 100 Arts &amp; Cultural organizational representatives and
offered 18 individualized consultations.

�•

September 30, 1994 - CMF participated in a workshop sponsored by the Frey Foundation and the
Direction Center on Foundation Trusteeship. This one day event was extremely successful for
trustees from a variety of nonprofit organizations. Presenting for CMF at the conference were
John Frey, Shirley Perkins, Bari Jo~son, and Gordon VanWylen.

•

October 9-11, 1994- CMF worked with the W.K.Kellogg, Frey, Skillman, Nokomis, and Grand
Rapids Foundations in cosponsoring with Michigan's Children a special statewide conference on
child care in Grand Rapids. Representatives from across the state participated. This joint venture
initiative grew out of informal conversations between our members interested in child care at last
year's annual conference. Strengthening the Circle of Caring Communities for Children,
convened over 225 key individuals from 25 communities, was the first meeting of this kind, and
has received substantial national interest

•

October 20, 1994- CMF cosponsored a workshop by the Detroit Chapter of NSFRE on Women
in Philanthropy. Over 200 fund-raisers from across the state attended this first time event.

•

November 11, 1994- CMF is cosponsoring a workshop[p with the Michigan Woman's
Foundation, the YWCA in Grand Rapids, and the Center on Philanthropy at GVSU with a
luncheon Honoring Women in Philanthropy.

•

May 12, 1995 - Grantrnaker/Grantseeker Vll Conference "Celebrating Our Common Ground"
will be held at the Lansing Center. Cosponsored by CMF and the Michigan Nonprofit Forum,
next year's conference is to be chaired by Laura Davis, Vice President W.K. Kellogg Foundation
and Kathleen Strauss. CMF members participating with the Planning Committee are the Herbert
H. And Grace A. Dow, Dow Chemical, W.K.Kellogg, and C.S. Mott Foundations.

Services:
•

Internship Program - Five members have requested an intern, in response to CMF' s offer.
Thirty-eight individuals from seven educational institutions will attend a mid-November
meeting to learn more about the programs. We anticipate placements for the winter term.

•

CMF Intern - Kimberly Butler has joined CMF as an intern from the Grand Valley State
University Minority Business Education Center. She is majoring in accounting and will
receive a minor in public administration. Kim is working with our Financial Director in
the financial area and is also assisting Anne with her work as support staff to our
supporting organizations.

•

Common Application Form - Eleven committee members participated in the common
application form deliberations, chaired by Ann Irish, Muskegon County Community
Foundation. They have produced a form which will be released before the end of the year,
asking Members if they wish to participate in a test period. A preliminary survey indicated
that more than twenty foundations and corporate giving programs were interested in
participating in the program. The concept of a Common Application Form has been
extremely successful in other parts of the country.

�•

Annual Conference - All CMF Trustees and Officers received specialized conference
invitations highlighting their particular areas of session interest. and over sixty
complimentary invitations were sent to nonmember foundations in the metro Detroit area.

•

CMF's Community Foundation's Youth Project has been written up in the new COF
Public Policy Committee publication. A Grantmak:ers Guide To Community and National
Service includes write-ups on the contributions of the Skillman Foundation and recognizes
the contributions of the W .K. Kellogg and C.S. Mott foundations to the service efforts.

Computer Infrastructure
•

CMF continues its implementation of a new computer system. The office is operational
on Microsoft Office and has moved into training and use of its new infonnation
management software - which was selected as a joint effort by a number of the RAGs in
the country. Electronic mail has been implemented internally and, on a limited basis,
externally. CMF is exploring external communications capabilities and options and is
proceeding cautiously in this area.

Office Remodeling:
•
•
•

All new equipment has been delivered and installed - computers, phone, files, desks,
chairs, etc. Thank you to generous contribution of Steelcase, Inc.
Staff has relocated to new spaces.
Delay in issuing of building permit has delayed construction and installation of new
stairwell. Expected to be completed by January.

�Background
The challenges were myriad; the demands complex; the perspectives diverse. But
following a year of deliberations that included telephone interviews, small group
discussions, a survey and extensive input from CMF members and the Board, the Future
Planning Committee is pleased to present a plan we believe will meet the needs of our
members.
In June 1993, when the CMF Board authorized this strategic planning process, we
began with a 19-year history of past accomplishments as a base. However, with the evergrowing demands upon grantmakers, our task was to build upon those past
accomplishments in the face of resources stretched beyond realistic limits since the last
planning process ten years ago.
Our goal: to offer a clear and concise sense of mission and purpose as well as a
focused strategic plan for the most efficient use of resources.
We believe the participatory nature of our deliberations, with regular reports to,
and feedback from, the Board kept us well in tune with a broadly-shared sense of the
Council's goals and priorities.
We believe we are presenting an exciting and challenging plan that will creatively
and realistically chart a course that allows us to most effectively meet the changing needs
of our members and of the larger society.
Most importantly it sets a new tone and direction in response to what our members
told us they wanted CMF to be.

�1995-2000

Goals
It should be remembered that CMF will continue the services and activities noted in the

1994-95 Plan of Work, adopted by the Board of Trustees. The following new strategies
are described to accomplish the goals.
Funding needs to accomplish this plan are noted. Anything that can be accommodated
with existing funding from the membership dues and operating contributions are noted
with a (C) representing core funding. Some ideas will require special funding and are so
noted. Ideas noted by (SFI) represent activities the Council would like to implement
within one to three years. Ideas noted by (SF2) represent activities the Council would like
to implement within the next four to five years.

Goa/1:

Network - Provide the means for regular sharing of ideas,
experiences, and other communication among grantmakers.
• Facilitate members who have mutual grantmaking interest, for
example neighborhood development or child day care. (C)
Establish a policy whereby CMF would co-sponsor a meeting/program
if three or more members expressed an interest. The members would
plan the program and CMF would provide the logistical/registration
support. This model has worked well for other regional associations.
The audience would be members with interest in the program topic, e.g.
education reform, economic development, health, etc.

• Convene meetings in local or regional areas around specific topics.
(C)

CMF sees a trend with members asking for more specialized, targeted
information at the local level. CMF proposes to serve that need with
local/or regional meetings, perhaps at breakfast, or brown-bag lunch.
Examples include a meeting of office managers, or bank officers
responsible for the Community Reinvestment Act, or program officers
interested in continuing education.

•

Participate in funding collaborations as useful to membership.
Participation might include providing information, facilitation and/or
fiscal services. (C)
Historically CMF has served the membership with community
foundation energy and youth collaborations, the Michigan AIDS Fund

jslfuturepllcmtelist

13

I

�and the Improving Philanthropy Project. In the future members may
want to collaborate with similar models on different subjects. Currently
CMF is serving as an information source for the Detroit Collaborative
on neighborhood development.

• Develop "institutes" on topical areas of grantmaking interest. (SF2)
Michigan grantmakers demonstrate a wide range of diversity in their
experience in grantmaking, yet they express a common intellectual
curiosity about grantmaking topics. These topics: health, education,
social and human need, housing, neighborhoods, the arts, issues of
peace and justice, needs of children, youth families and similar issues are
complex. As Michigan grantmakers have increased their sophistication
in the process of grantmaking, there is emerging a greater need to
wrestle with the content of charitable grants.
Several Council of Michigan Foundation sponsored "institutes"
(modeled on Wingspread and similar programs) would be offered on
grantmaking topics. They might be sponsored in cooperation with other
organizations. Perhaps one institute per year at the beginning and more
as needed. The institutes would be for one to three days. The location
would facilitate discussion. Of critical importance is the quality of the
program. The intent would be to identify the leading thinkers in a
particular area of interest and to bring these thought leaders together
with Michigan grantmakers. There may be "homework" assigned
before each institute based on the leading research or providing an
historic context for the discussion.
The institutes would be budgeted to support themselves based on fee
income. The white papers generated would be distributed to all Council
of Michigan Foundations members, to selected individuals with an
interest in the topic, and to the libraries of Michigan.

• Enhance service to Detroit Metropolitan Area by establishing CMF
office. (SF1)
Michigan has I ,200 foundations. Of these, 509 are Detroit area
foundations. 17% or 85 are already CMF members, leaving a potential
growth in membership of 424 foundations or 83% of the Detroit
foundation market. The largest metropolitan area in the state also has
the largest concentration of wealth. It is ideal to establish an office on
a pro-bono basis with the cooperation of Detroit area funders.

jslfutuiepl!crntelist

�•

Enhance service to the Upper Peninsula by establishing a part-time
staffpresence for the Council ofMichigan Foundations. (SF2)

Over the next five years, the number and size of foundations in the
northern lower and the upper peninsula of Michigan will dramatically
increase. This growth can be stimulated and supported by the Council
of Michigan Foundations. The Council of Michigan Foundations'
Michigan Foundation Directory shows no corporate foundations, two
private foundations and only two community foundations in the Upper
Peninsula in 1994. We expect the peninsula to be geographically
covered by community foundations by the end of 1995. A new public
foundation for the Michigan Native American population will be
headquartered in the Upper Peninsula.
The Upper Peninsula in particular is psychologically and physically
separate from the rest of the state and requires technical support
sensitive to the values of this region. Travel to the peninsula for five
months of the year is extremely difficult. A part-time professional
person familiar with foundations -- probably retired -- could provide
excellent support and guidance to the foundations and could stimulate
the development of new foundations. This would be a low cost
operation and would supplement the technical support currently offered
by the Council of Michigan Foundations' staff This staff person could
also provide training opportunities for foundation staff and board
members in the northern portion of the lower peninsula.
•

Utilize technology in cost efficient and practical manner to serve
members. (C) (SFJ)

Assist in the implementation of E-Mail to interested members, offer
Memo to Members on E-Mail, place Directory on-line.

Goal2:

Advocate - Represent Michigan grantmakers' interests and concerns
with local, state and national governments.
• Make permanent community foundation tax credit and deductibility at
market value of gifts of appreciated property. (SF1)

For the past five years donors to community foundations have been
eligible for tax credit to up to a maximum of$200 for a couple's $400
gift~ and up to a maximum of$5,000 tax credit offsetting eligible single
business tax for a $10,000 contribution.

jslfutureplfantelist

15

�CMF proposes to maintain the tax credit in order to encourage giving
in local communities. Not-for-profit agencies are encouraged to
establish funds within a community foundation in order to take
advantage of the tax credit while establishing a permanent, endowment
fund for the agency. In July 1994 the bill renewal was signed by the
Governor without the cap, but with a three-year sunset.
On a national level CMF is working with COF and other Regional
Associations to renew the bill, which is scheduled to sunset December
31, 1994, thereby allowing the deductibility at market value of gifts of
publicly traded stock.
•

Facilitate meetings ofgrantmakers and state and local government
representatives with mutual interests. (C)

CMF is finding some members who desire to meet with government
representatives responsible for substantive areas (economic
development/children and youth/recreation, etc.) CMF could
undertake a "City Connect," "County Connect," or "State Connect,"
as useful to members. Activities would include information exchange
and perhaps funding collaboration.
The New York Regional Association of Grantmakers began their effort
with a co-sponsorship of an AIDS conference with the Public Health
Department.
•

Conduct local legislative seminars bi-ammally with local government
officials. (C)

Currently CMF sponsors a "grantsmanship seminar" for state
government representatives and their staffs in Lansing bi-annually. It is
proposed that CMF sponsor regional seminars for regional and local
government representatives on off-years. Such a program would
enhance CMF' s state legislative network contacts.

jslfuturepUcmtelist

16

�•

Advocate with other non-profits tax incentives in Michigan for giving
to all non-profits. (SF/)
CMF supports the Michigan Nonprofit Forum paper on tax incentives
for charitable giving in Michigan. CMF contributed $5,000 to the
study, and staff representative co-chaired the Task Force. Now C:MF
hopes to work with MNF and others to get the proposal adopted.

•

Advocate on behalf of members' interest for representation on
relevant state commissions and committees. (C)
From time-to-time government representatives call CMF for suggestions
of individuals to serve on program specific commissions and
committees. At the same time members ask to be included in
discussions on a specific program focus, beyond their grantmaking.
Such questions do not come frequently, but when they do, it is
meaningful for all concerned.

•

Circulate "Kiplinger" type newsletter about accomplishments of
Michigan grantmakers as part of The Michigan Scene. (C) (SF1)
This type of information would be helpful in noting the
accomplishments of Michigan foundation and corporate funded
projects. It would particularly highlight those areas that are affected by
state policy, and where new models are producing effective results. It
is intended this would be included in The Michigan Scene.

Goal 3:

Increase - Increasing grantmaking resourees offoundations and
corporations in Michigan.
•

Activate "Donor Peer Network" to encourage giving from others.
Provide them with materials and technical advice. (C)(SFJ)
CMF has an opportunity to capitalize on the interests of several
members to assist their peers in giving. One example is a doctor who
CMF helped respond to questions from two wealthy individuals asking
him for information on how to create a foundation. CMF provided the
doctor the relevant materials and expects a foundation will be created
within the year. The intent of this program would be to recruit
interested individuals who would both respond to requests and seek out
opportunities. Many of the volunteers will probably be Trustees of
CMF members.

jslfuturepVantelist

17

�• Develop a program for minority philanthropy. (SF1)
Several Council of Michigan Foundations trustees have raised issues
regarding the diversity of representation by various minority groups in
the Council of Michigan Foundations membership, and therefore in the
Council of Michigan Foundations leadership positions. As a
membership organization the Council is reflective of the composition of
the members. An array of solutions are currently under discussion.
One solution is to increase the number of minorities participating in
organized philanthropic grantmaking which qualifies for the Council of
Michigan Foundations membership. This strategy also is in concert
with the Council of Michigan Foundations goal to increase
philanthropy.
This initiative will require a multi-stage effort. The steps might be:
•

Organization of a Council of Michigan Foundations minority
philanthropy advisory committee

•

Definition of diversity goals and minority parameters (AfricanAmericans, women, immigrants, physically challenged, etc.)

• Research on the work already completed by the Council on
Foundations, other charitable organizations which have wrestled
with diversity issues
•

Identification of key minority philanthropists and a strategy to
engage them in assisting the council of Michigan Foundations in its
diversity goals

•

Implementation of a multi-year, sophisticated foundation
development and membership strategy to increase the number of
minority philanthropists in Michigan

One group to be actively solicited as experts in this venture would be
the minority business owners, athletes, and performing artists which
have high public visibility and could provide role models for
institutional philanthropy by minority populations.

jslfuturepl!cmtelist

18

�• Encourage statewide, coordinated efforts by community foundations in
addressing urgent community needs. (SF1)
The Council of Michigan Foundations, by the year 2000, will have
invested over a decade in the intensive development of an infrastructure
for local philanthropy through community foundations . This system of
independent community based grantmaking will cover the state
geographically, will have a strong operational base, and will have
experience successfully implementing statewide initiatives in ways
custom designed for each community. The youth project is the first
statewide experiment with this system.
The community foundations understand their capacity to work together
to deliver statewide strategies. Together they can achieve long-term,
locally customized, yet systemic change on major grantmaking issues.
They look forward to playing this role as long as the initiatives provide
for local flexibility in implementation. The Council of Michigan
Foundations can serve as the vehicle for community foundation
members to pursue these initiatives. Common technical assistance can
be provided and opportunities for training and networking can be
facilitated. The community foundations have discussed an agenda of
topical areas including environmental issues, neighborhood
development and building community leadership capacity.
The Council of Michigan Foundations would like to continue to pursue
each of these grantmaking issues, one at a time, in concert with the
leadership of the community foundations. Because of the interest of
the Great Lakes Protection Fund in working with community
foundations in the Great Lakes Basin, and the Michigan community
foundations' desire to work in the area of the environment, this would
be the next area pursued.
• Strengthen donor history video project. (SF1)
A charter series of four donor history video interviews has been
completed. Each module now holds an historic record of the wisdom,
guidance and pertinent recollections of individuals who have created
private foundations in Michigan. The program's objectives remain to
encourage other people to establish private foundations; to provide
inspiration and engender commitment among people who are working
in the philanthropic sector; to assemble, in one highly credible format,
the experiences and "lessons learned" from outstanding veterans of the

jslfuturepVantelist

19

private foundation field; and to create an informative and enterprising
archival record ofthis important part ofCMF's heritage.
It is proposed that within the next five years, CMF undertake 20

additional donor history videos marketing the attorneys, bankers, other
financial advisors, public libraries, schools, colleges and universities;
and public television; interested individuals and the field of philanthropy
in general.
Educate - Provide Michigan grantmakers with educational
services, knowledgeable resources, and informational opportunities.

Goal4:

•

Work with members to assist them in implementing "Principles and
Practices. " (C)

In 1993 the CMF Board adopted the Principles and Practices instituted
by the Council on Foundations. CMF will provide "how to" materials
for each Principle and Practice.
•

Organize intemship program to assist members and CMF and to
advocate for the field (C)

The program would provide graduate students with an opportunity to
gain exposure to the nonprofit sector. CMF would provide
coordination of the program working with universities, screening the
pool, submitting suggestions and providing group educational
expenences.
Elizabeth Sullivan from The Kresge Foundation is chairing a current
effort to institute the CMF Internship Program.
•

Undertake research projects and encourage others (colleges and
universities) to sponsor research useful to Michigan grantmakers. (C)

CMF has a relationship with the university departments interested in
philanthropy at Michigan State University, University of Michigan,
Grand Valley State University and Wayne State University. These and
other institutions would be encouraged to undertake research relevant
to Michigan grantmakers. Such topics might be evaluation; at what
size is a community foundation effective; are grantmakers making a
difference, etc.

20

jslfuturepVantelist

�•

Enhance library use. (C)

Continue to provide comprehensive library services to CMF members.
Begin remote access of library databases and electronic document
delivery.
•

Continue Improving Philanthropy project with emphasis on K-12
education, collaborating with other Michigan nonprofit organizations
like the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, National Society of Fund Raising
Executives, educational associations, state Chambers of Commerce,
Michigan Campus Compact, etc. (SF 1}

CMF' s efforts and those of members, are bearing results at the college
and university level. There is interest in expanding emphasis on
philanthropy and volunteerism to the K-12 curriculum. Preliminary
conversations have been held with the NSFRE, and a CMF Trustee has
expressed interest in leading the project.
•

Establish service bureau. (SF2)

The purpose of a service bureau would be to develop specific materials
and procedures to assist members in accomplishing those professional
activities which consistently cause them the greatest inefficiencies or
fiustrations in their management practices. Support for the
development of these programs would first come from CMF' s fund
balance, and then costs would be recovered over time by a fee for
service structure. Such a program could provide the following
servtces:
1. Accounting and Financial Services - Following selection, installation
and implementation of appropriate multiple entity financial software,
CMF would offer bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, and financial
reporting services to small foundations who do not have an accountant
on staff or volunteer support capable of performing these tasks. Such
services would be a compilation of information provided, and C:MF
would assume no responsibility for content accuracy unless error is
readily apparent. These services are successfully being offered
currently by the Indiana Donors Alliance to seven small community
foundations. Payroll services and Form 990 preparation would not be
offered due to liability issues. The Council of Michigan Foundations
would test market the service.
2. Publication Services - Members who wish to develop media
publication, but find the cost and time involved to be prohibitive, would

jslfuturepVcmtelist

21

�value a simplified process where CMF would oversee layout and
production. Initially, members would be assisted in an annual report
preparation service, where members would provide infonnation for the
annual report and choose from five to six pre-planned annual report
fonnats. Even though fonnats are pre-arranged to allow for ease of
development, choice of paper stock and color would result in a
"personalized look" for each small foundation's report. Printing
services would be on a fee for service basis, and would help increase
the public's understanding of foundation operations.

~·

3. Meeting Facilitation Services- Provide infonnation, assistance and
technical support with Conference planning on a fee for service basis to
facilitate CMF members' needs in all areas of meeting planning such as
site selection, meeting logistics, promotion, registration, etc.
4. In-depth Donor Consultation- CMF provides consultations to
individuals considering how to organize their philanthropy. Such
consultations can be over a number of years, and might number five or
more. The "In-depth" donor consultation that would be part of the
service bureau would be for those times when a member wished an indepth report on a program area; or leadership for a strategic plan.
CMF would have a bank of consultants available through CMF to work
for a fee on these types of projects.

If the service bureau is successful, in time, executive search services
may be instituted. CMF is continually asked for references.
Goal5:

Promote - Inform the public of the importance of contributions of
Michigan grantmakers to the citizens of the state and society-atlarge.
•

illjJi1lf
Meet at least bi-annually with editorial boards fl/ six of the largest
metro areas. (C)
Currently CMF meets occasionally with the Detroit newspaper editorial
boards. Regional meetings of local and some state foundation and
corporate giving programs would expand the editorial support of
philanthropy.

jslfuturepl/cmtelist

22

�·---·-- ·- -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

•

Expand media coverage as useful to members. (SF1)
Some members want extensive media coverage. Some members
employ staff and/or an agency to promote a grant project(s). CMF
could provide this service at a cost effective basis.

Goal 6:

Catalyze - Exercise leadership and serve as a catalyst for philanthropic
responses to critical needs in the state.
The idea for this new purpose comes from a few members' interests and
comments. The response could range from educational programs to
collaborative funding projects. Each case would be judged separately.
Issues in Michigan that might be considered would include educational
reform, violence, economic development, environment, etc. It would be
envisioned that CMF would focus on critical state issues determined by
surveying members, nonprofit organizations and other public sector
entities.
•

Sponsor educational programs on the selected subject. (C)
CMF presents a program of educational topics at the request of
members. One or more of these topics could deal with the subject of
mutual interest of several members, such as the AIDS program held
before the Michigan AIDS Fund was ever conceived.

•

Give visibility to grantmaking activity that relates to the subject.
Become a clearinghouse for such activity by grantmakers across the
country to enhance CMF members' knowledge. (C)
"How to" ideas continue to be of utmost interest to Michigan
grantmakers, such as who is funding programs that work to help
neighborhoods, to educate children, to bring economic development to
deprived areas, etc. CMF would collect good ideas from grantmakers,
nationally; access idea banks from other nonprofit; and the public.

•

Seek out appropriate linkages with state organizations concemed with
subject for the purpose ofproviding increased information to the
grantmaking community. (C)
This activity would involve CMF knowing the government offices
concerned with a subject of interest: meetings, conferences and an
exchange of information may be useful. A current example is the
CMF/Public Health Department Conference held on AIDS, which led
to the Michigan AIDS Fund.

�•

Support and facilitate the collaborations offimders. Such facilitation
might include information sharing, program development,
collaboration fimding, etc. (SF2)
This activity would be self-supporting. It might range from the
information function (as with the Detroit Funders Collaborative) to
forming a supporting organization (Michigan AIDS Fund). It would
only take place as members requested as they did with Michigan
Community Foundation Youth Project and the Michigan AIDS Fund.

Memo To:

Board of Trustees

From:

Ranny Riecker

R;

Government Relations Committee

The Committee has not met since the last meeting, but the Committee has worked hard on
seeking passage ofH.R. 2418/S. 1898. The bill, which would extend the sunset provision
allowing donors to deduct the full fair market value of qualified appreciated stock, is scheduled to
sunset on December 31, 1994. If the ruling is not extended, beginning 1995 only the price at
which stock was purchased (not the current market value of the stock) would be allowed to be
deducted for income tax purposes.
Attached is a copy of a letter sent by our CMF President to 132 individuals who have recently
made gifts to their private foundations, or who have indicated an interest in forming a foundation.
If you know of anyone who might wish to receive this information please let us know.

�September 6, 1994

Mrs. Barbara J. Brown
President
Talbert &amp; Leota Abrams Foundation
4400 Greenwood Drive
Okemos, MI 48864
Dear Barbara:

If you have considered making an additional gift to your private
foundation, you may want to do so before the end of the year.
Unfortunately, the special rule that grants a full fair market value deduction
for donations of qualified appreciated stock to a private foundation is
scheduled to ••sunset" on December 31, 1994. This means that beginning
in 1995, you will only be able to deduct your cost basis, not the market
value of the stock.

Background
As a general rule, when a donor contributes property which has
appreciated in value to a private foundation, the donor's income tax
deduction is limited to the donor's cost or basis in the property. For estate
tax purposes, gifts of appreciated property left to a private foundation are
fully deductible at fair market value. In 1984 we were successful in
convincing Congress that in order to promote the creation and funding of
private foundations during donors' lifetimes, it was critical that donors be
entitled to take an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of
one of the most common types of appreciated property donated: publicly
traded corporate stock. Congress agreed and this new rule allowing a fair
market value deduction for gifts of publicly traded stock was codified in
Internal Revenue Code Section 170(e)(5).

For this rule to apply, the asset must be stock of a corporation for which
market quotations are readily available on an established securities market
(referred to in the Internal Revenue Code as ••Qualified Appreciated
Stock").

�Can Rule Be Extended?
We are working diligently to seek passage ofH.R. 2418/S. 1898, which would extend the sunset,
but prospects are not good as there is not a tax bill in 1994. Eight of the 41 sponsors of H.R.
2418 are from Michigan. Senator Riegle introduced the Senate bill which has also been
cosponsored by Senator Levin. A delegation of CMF Members visited Washington, DC last
February on the issue, and I have continually worked with Congressional staff to seek passage.
One staff member told me, "don't worry, several revenue measures are sunsetting this year, we
will have to have a package, including H.R. 2418 early next year." Unfortunately, we cannot rely
on this advice, and we wanted to advise you of the change in order that you might make personal
plans before December 31, 1994 or risk losing the fair market value deduction.

If this raises any questions, please call me and or talk with your attorney. In the meantime, please
know we are working on all opportunities.
Sincerely,

Dorothy A. Johnson
President
DAJ/pab/govtibr2418

FUTURE PLAN
FINANCIAL PLAN
BACKGROUND
The financing component to the future plan is designed to assure the fiscal stability of the Council
of Michigan Foundations and allow full implementation of the goals and objectives set by the
Board of Trustees. Since the future plan shapes a bolder, more active and opportunistic
organization, a financing plan, equally bold was designed to secure the Council's future and
support the activities members are requesting to help them meet their increasing challenges.
The future plan covers the Council's core activities. In serving the members and philanthropy at
large, the Council of Michigan Foundations has set goals to network, advocate, increase
resources, educate, promote and catalyze. This provides the essential framework for the Council
to follow and, as such, the financial considerations have been designed to support this framework.
At the Future Planning meeting in June, we reviewed historical revenue and expense patterns to
gain an understanding of our funding sources and resource consumption trends. This analysis was
helpful to bring us to the next step of determining what services the Council should consider
adding to its offerings and how the services might be funded . We noted that increased
membership revenues would be required just to maintain the current service offerings of the
Council. We also noted that dues will not have been increased for five years when the proposed
dues structure is implemented in fiscal 1995-96.
Plans for the future include the goals and strategies that the Future Planning Committee and the
Board of Trustees have had the opportunity to review and challenge. These goals and strategies
are organized into priorities to assist in a realistic projection of implementation time frame and the
level of resources required to finance these services.
The future service areas have been assigned a funding assumption. "C" for Core was assigned to
those services which dues revenue was expected to finance. "SF' for Special Funding was
assigned to future services which would require special funding from a source other than
revenues.
The areas requiring "Special Funding" have been further prioritized into services that the Council
of Michigan Foundations would like to implement within the next two to three years (SFI), and
those services which the Council would like to implement within four to five years from now
(SF2).
The summary of service offerings as presented in Tab 3 is the base upon which the financial plan
is derived. This section is designed to explain the financial resources needed to implement the
future plan.

�FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS
A historical revenue and expense analysis and consideration of the current and projected
economic environment resulted in the following planning assumptions:
•

Membership contributions will be structured fairly.

•

Special project funds will be solicited.

•

An attempt will be made to increase endowment funds on a timely basis.

•

Operating expenses will be closely monitored and controlled.

PROPOSED PLAN
The financial component of the future plan assumes the operating principle that the Council of
Michigan Foundations, through its Board and President, will exercise careful financial
management and revenue and expense forecasting.
The plan recommends:
•

The Board adopt a policy of five year budget forecasting; and

•

Membership dues structure be analyzed by the Board every four years, at a minimum, for
the purpose of considering a dues increase.

The financial plan reflects the adoption of the future plan as representing the future core activities
and services as well as potential specially funded projects. Accordingly, two budget projections
for the next five years are presented along with the current 94-95 fiscal year budget for purposes
of illustrating the effect of adding specially funded projects to the budget. The first projection on
page 42 assumes that the Council will not engage in any special projects in the next five years.
The second (and preferred) projection on page 47 includes the financial infonnation pertaining to
specially funded projects.
There are essentially five major sources of revenue that currently are supporting the Council's
operating budget or have the potential to support the Council's operations:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

�l. Member Contributions
Background
The future plan states that grantmakers are our principal constituency and consequently
should logically be the primary source of support. Dues revenues have historically been a
major revenue source to the operating budget. Member dues history shows that in 1984,
member dues accounted for 73% of the total core revenues of the Council of Michigan
Foundations. By 1994, dues had dropped to 55% oftotal revenues creating a significant
reliance upon other sources of funding for operating expenses. A major source of that
funding came from members who consistently contributed more than their dues each year
toward the general operating costs of the Council.
The future planning process included a detailed analysis of other Regional Area
Grantmaker (RAG) associations to determine what form of member dues structure was
being used throughout the country. Focusing on RAGs most like ourselves in size and
constituency, the exhibit page 33 was prepared entitled, RAG Contribution
Comparison, which compares our current dues structure with four other RAGs. The
Future Planning Committee and Board of Trustees noted that CMF members were
generally paying less in membership dues than their counterparts who were members of
their area's respective RAG.

Recommendation
In recognition of the fact that member dues are providing increasingly less support for the
Council's member services, a proposed dues increase is planned to go into effect April 1,
1995 as portrayed in the chart entitled, Projected Dues Revenues Effective 1996 (page
34). It is anticipated that this dues structure will be adequate through fiscal year 2000, but
that membership dues will be reviewed in four years to assess the adequacy of the support
being derived from this source.
In order to determine the potential impact upon our members, we prepared a comparison
of certain members' proposed C:MF dues compared to the Donors Forum of Chicago and
the Minnesota Council on Foundations. The chart entitled Proposed CMF Dues
Compared to Other RAGs (page 35) is the third and final chart in the discussion of
Member Contributions. The proposed member dues structure appears reasonable
compared to other RAG dues.

�1. Member Contributions (Continued)
Implementation

An April, 1995 effective date gives the Council time to communicate fully and responsibly
about this increase, why it is necessary, and meet with members who may have some
concern over this. It also gives the membership adequate time to plan and budget for the
dues increase.
Rationale
The Future Planning Committee and the Board of Trustees have recognized that a
membership dues increase is necessary just to maintain the current level of service to
members. It has also been noted that dues have not been increased for five years. The
proposed dues increase reduces the Council's reliance upon additional operating
contributions from members. These additional operating contributions have comprised an
increasing portion of the Council's revenues over the last ten years.

36

�l. Operating Contributions
Background

The Council of Michigan Foundations has historically relied upon operating contributions
from certain members beyond annua1 dues. The budget for this fiscal year 1994-95
anticipates relying on such contributions to fund 24% of total core expenses. In fiscal
year 1994, 44 members made contributions for operations including the W. K. Kellogg
Foundation and Charles Stewart Mott Foundation for $100,000 and $20,000, respectively.
In 1990, these two foundations asked the Council to make one additional grant request
annually in these amounts. While there are no guarantees, these foundations have
continued to make operating contributions in those amounts for the past four years.
Recommendation

The recommended membership dues structure reduces this source of funding to 9% in
1996 with gradual increases over the five year projected period to t4•fo by fiscal2000.
This shows that although the Council still needs to rely upon operating contributions in
addition to its members' dues, the reliance is significantly less than it has been in the past.
By the year 2000, it is expected that membership dues will be reviewed for the purposes of
proposing an increase to, once again, reduce the Council's reliance upon contributions in
addition to membership dues.

Implementation

Implementation is largely a matter of sustaining the additional support the Council has
received in the past and continuing to nurture these funding sources. Success does
depend, however, upon the approval of the proposed membership dues increase.

Rationale

At this time in the development and evolution of the Council of Michigan Foundations,
membership dues income needs to be supplemented with operating contributions to meet
the current core costs. The membership dues structure which has been proposed places
less reliance upon operating contributions as a source of funds and is desirable from that
standpoint. This strategy also puts into place a plan for future years which will attempt to
minimize the level of dependence upon operating contributions helping to fulfill a desire to
move away from such dependence.

37

�3. Conference and Publication Revenues
Background

Conferences and publications have historically been strong service areas which the Council
of Michigan Foundations has provided to its members. Although this is considered a
significant revenue area there are, of course, directly related costs in providing these
services such that costs and expenses are often balanced. The Council's annual
conference, offered for the past 21 years, has grown significantly in quality and
attendance. The registration fees generally have covered the costs of the conferences.
Similarly, the Council offers a wide variety of publications and has an outstanding library
of resource material available to our members. Though the Council charges for many
publications, some are available as a benefit of membership with costs exceeding total
revenues generated.

Recommendation

The future plan does not propose to change the revenue streams from conferences and
publications which already exist. It is the Council's intent to continue to provide quality
conferences and publications at reasonable costs.
The future plan does include recommendations for expanding this area such as developing
"institutes" on topical areas of grantmaking interest (SF2), developing a program for
minority philanthropy (SFI), enhancing library usage (C), etc. These newly proposed
service areas have been included in the financial projections at the end of this section.
Implementation

No implementation steps are necessary for existing conferences and publications. The
recommended expansion of these areas within the future plan will, in some cases, require
the acquisition of special funding in order to implement these proposed future strategies.

Rationale

This service area is currently functioning satisfactorily for our membership. The future
service capacity of the Council of Michigan Foundations would be greatly enhanced by
offering the proposed new services and would ultimately strengthen and improve our
members' capabilities and effectiveness.

jlll'uturq!L'antelist

38

�4. Investment Income
Background

Investment income has historically been a very small source of revenue for the Council
(approximately one to two percent). The Council collects membership revenue
throughout the year to cover its budgeted expenses. The Council does keep its funds in
managed money market accounts until funds are needed to cover operating expenses.
Recommendation

The financial scenario at the end of this Tab projects the potential impact upon revenues of
potential endowment earnings. For purposes of this projection, endowment earnings from
the Allen Fund and the Mawby Fund to Increase and Improve Philanthropy are considered
as funding sources for special projects and not a part of core services support. As such,
the earnings potential is forecasted to portray the potential magnitude of this new source
of funds. It is recommended that these endowment earnings be used to offset the special
project funds needed to support the new service areas that the Council would like to offer
to its members.

Implementation

Endowment earnings currently exist from the Allen Fund (approximately $2,500 annually).
The creation of the Mawby Fund would produce a significant amount of revenue for the
purpose of funding special projects to increase and improve philanthropy.

Rationale

The creation of a substantial endowment fund would help ensure that the Council of
Michigan Foundations is able to provide services which extend beyond the expected
member dues-supported activities. The addition of the Mawby Endowment Fund would
fund new service areas which would work to increase and improve philanthropy.

39

------

�S. Special Project Funding
Background

The Council of Michigan Foundations has been very fortunate in the past and present to
receive funding for special projects. Special project funding has been provided for donor
history videos, increasing philanthropy projects, "Establishing Update" project, future
planning studies, etc. Most recently, theW. K. Kellogg Foundation provided funding to
complete the exciting project of developing community foundations and youth advisory
councils in Michigan, a project which has been managed by the Council since 1988.

Recommendation

A summary of the proposed activities which would require special funding is presented
(page 41 ). This summary identifies each activity or service and includes estimated costs
and timing. The Committee recommends that the proposed activities and service areas be
approved and that special funding be sought to provide the financial resources necessary
for implementation.

Implementation

Upon approval, management will begin to develop proposals for the purpose of securing
special funding for projects identified as "SF1" or those which the Council would like to
implement within the next one to three years. Following this, proposals to fund projects
identified as "SF2" or those which the Council would like to see implemented in four to
five years would be developed. Projects would not be undertaken without secured special
funding.

Rationale
Special funding allows the Council of Michigan Foundations to provide services beyond
the general core or member expectations, and to become involved in projects that could
not otherwise be undertaken. These areas reach out boldly and aggressively to increase
and improve philanthropy for the public good. The areas which have been identified in
this plan make effective use of the mature organization that the Council has become - stretching its own resources to benefit the field as a whole.

COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
CORE BUDGET- NO SPECIAL PROJECI'S
FINANCIAL NARRATIVE
OVERVIEW

The first financial projection which follows this narrative portrays the core operations of the
Council without any of the !peciaJiy funded project revenues or expenses (page 46). The
purpose is to clearly show the revenue sources and the general operating costs of the Council in
service to its membership. The following comments are provided to assist in your understanding
of funding sources and expense outflows during this current year and five years beyond.

REVENUES

Membenhip Contributions
Fiscal 1995 will be the fifth year in which membership dues have
remained at the same fee schedule. The Council of Michigan
Foundations is proposing a membership dues increase effective for
the next fiscal year beginning April I, 1995 as presented in the chart
entitled, Projected Dues Revenues Effective 1996 (page 34).
Following the year ofimplementation, the dues increase is projected
to increase revenues approximately 2% annually based upon
additional memberships and current membership asset growth.
Ooerating Contributions
Operating contributions are needed in addition to the forecasted
membership dues revenue to meet CMF' s operating costs. These
contributions are anticipated to come from foundations which have
supported us in the past.
Contributions from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles
Stewart Mott Foundation have been significant and made possible
because many of CMFs program activities are part of each
foundation's programmatic interests.

with no registration fee increase. The five year forecast projects
annual conference revenues to increase 4% fJUlUally.

Supporting Organization - MAF

The staff of the Council ofMichigan Foundations provide support
services to the Michigan AIDS Fund. Personnel and other
operating expenses which will be paid by the supporting
organization under a management services contract are estimated to
be $6,000.
Investment Income
An estimated investment return of 3. 5% has been used for budget
purposes for fiscal 1995. Due to the nature of our cash flow, this is
not a significant source of funds for us and we have been
conservative in our projection of earnings over the subsequent five
years.

Publications

Fiscal 1995 is the first year of a two-year cycle in which The
Michigan Foundation Directory is completely reproduced. The
1995 budget assumes that approximately the same number of
directories will be sold as were sold in 1993. No price increase is
contemplated.
As the Council continues to expand its services and offerings to its
members, it becomes more difficult to maintain a balanced budget.
As approved by the Board, beginning in fiscal 1995, the Council
will begin asking its members for voluntary contributions toward
the cost of producing the Directory. It is hoped that members will
be willing to contribute toward the cost of this valuable product and
help the Council to remain fiscally sound. The member price is
unchanged at $25 per copy.

We expect to publish over twenty materials including the following:
The M~e/Ugan Foundation Directory
Scholarship Manual
Family foundations publications
Establishing a Charitable Foundation
Sales of community foundation materials
Sales of address labels
Sales of tapes and other library materials

Small Conferences
We anticipate achieving relatively the same small conference
revenues in fiscal year 1995 as we experienced in fiscal 1994. Small
conference revenues consist of: Detroit Area Grantmakers, Spring
Schools, Grantmaker to Grant seeker, Grand Rapids Donors' Forum
and Members Meetings, etc. Revenues in the five years that follow
are expected to increase modestly at 4%. If workshops are not
held, corresponding expenses will not be incurred.
EXPENSES
Operating costs are generally forecasted to increase at an annual rate of 4%.

�COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
CORE BUDGET INCLUDING SPECIAL PROJECTS
FINANCIAL NARRATIVE

OVERVIEW

The second (and preferred) financial projection which follows this narrative portrays the
operations of the Council with the specially funded project revenue5 and expenses (page 49).
The purpose is to clearly show the revenue sources and the operating costs of the Council in
service to its membership with the incorporation of the special projects and activities.. The
following comments are additions to the previous financial narrative and cover the new revenue
sources for special projects.

REVENUES

Special Funding for MCFYP

This funding has been secured and represents the funding placed with CMF' s supporting
organization, the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project. The funding was provided
by theW. K. Kellogg Foundation to complete the $35 million project initiated by Kellogg to help
develop community foundations and youth advisory councils throughout Michigan. A separate
Board of Trustees oversees this supporting organization and funding is estimated to exist through
1999.

Special Funding
Desired services and activities which were identified in the future planning process were assigned
SF 1 if these actions were expected to be implemented in the next one to three years or SF2 if the
activities were expected to be implemented in four to five years. According to the schedule
entitled, "Special Funding Needs," which was reviewed as a part of the narrative describing
Special Projects, the financial estimates indicated on that schedule were used to develop the
revenue and expense assumptions for each of these special funding priorities. It is important to
note that special project revenues and related expenses are equal. In other words, special projects
will not be undertaken without securing funding to support them.

47

�Endowment Earnings

The potential impact of endowment income generation was discussed previously. The financial
scenario helps to portray the magnitude of these earnings and the possible implications as to the
projects which could be undertaken to increase and improve philanthropy without raising
additional funds from members. For this reason, earnings are shown at full potential followed by
the same number in parentheses to show that these funds could be used to reduce the special fund
raising efforts to accomplish the goals that the Council has set forth.
Other

All other financial assumptions and discussion from the previous narrative apply to the following
five-year projection.

Re:

Family Foundation Committee Report

The Family Foundation Committee met at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 4, 1994 to review the
project's progress. It was noted that:

Regional Meetings
•

CMF member meetings- a geographic distn"bution study has been completed and that the
highest concentration of family foundation members reside in the areas of:
Wayne, Oakland, Washtenaw, Macomb counties= 42 foundations
Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Muskegon counties = 29 foundations
Midland, Saginaw, Clinton, Genesee, Tuscola, Shiawassee, Isabella counties = 20
foundations
Kalamazoo, Ca1houn, St. Joesph, Cass, Berrien counties = 14 foundations
and that therefore the areas ofBirmingb.am, Grand Rapids, Midland and Kalamazoo have been
selected as sites for the regional meetings of CMF family foundation members. Committee
members requested that these meetings be scheduled sometime in Ap~ before the 15th of the
month.
• Meetings of Advisors to the Wealthy- plans are being made to interview and convene groups
of attorneys, accountants and bank trust officers to discuss how CMF might be able to be of
assistance to them in better serving their clients' philanthropic interests. The project will first
concentrate on the Kalamazoo area since the 1995 Annual Conference being held in
KaJamazoo will offer an opportunity for follow-up exposure with this group.
• Families ofWealth Meetings- for the same reason as noted above, a program for major
community donors who are not CMF members is being planned for the Kalamazoo area.
Committee members requested that this type of meeting also be planned for the Detroit area,
as a follow-up to this year's conference, with the group of donors who are receiving
complimentary invitations to the 1994 Annual Conference. It was felt that the Detroit area
has the largest concentration of prospective members, and that we should not wait any longer
to sponsor a program in this district. It was felt that this request could be honored.

Publications
•
•

i

A Family Foundation Services Brochure - has been written and is being shared with
prospective members.
Two manuals, the Developmental Stages Manual, and the Sample Documents Manual- are
being planned for publication this year. It is hoped that a draft of the Developmental Stages
Manual, which builds upon a family foundation session at last year's Annual Conference, will
be ready for review at this year's Annual Conference.

�•

•

A second Family Fax Newsletter ~ will be published in December and will focus on
programming criteria, a topic which will begin to be explored at this year's Annual
Conference.
The second Investment Performance Survey- has been conducted and -will be summarized in
an insert in the upcoming newsletter.

Annual Conference
The 1994 Annual Conference sessions for family foundations were reviewed by the committee. It
was noted that a special conference registration rate for first time attendees and families with
more than six members attending was again being extended.
Technical Assistance
Staff continues to build a consultant resource bank, and fill several informational, consultation,
and specialized training requests each month.
Membership Recruitment
• It was reported that an enthusiastic Detroit area members committee has been instrumental in
assisting staff with developing a list of potential members and extending complimentary
invitations to area families to attend the 1994 conference. Last year this initiative resulted in
18 new foundations attending the Grand Rapids conference, with 8 of those later becoming
CMF members.
• Staff also continues to assist individuals interested in organizing their giving into a formal
foundation with advice and resources, new printed materials are being developed to facilitate
this process.
Legislative Action
The issue of the :full value deductibility of publicly traded stock expiring on December 31, 1994
was raised and it was explained that extensive efforts have been made by CMF, COF and
Independent Sector to extend these legislative provisions, but that such provisions would very
likely need to be attached to some other tax bill and that it was unlikely that any tax legislation
would be considered before the November election, which is really too late. It was noted that a
temporary provision is currently being sought from the Senate Finance Committee to extend the
expiration date to June 30, 1994. Committee members requested and were immediately sent
information on how to contact their Michigan senators to encourage support for the PackwoodBoren Letter to Senator Moynihan, requesting Senate Finance Committee consideration. It has
since been learned that both Senator Riegle and Senator Levin added their signatures to the
Packwood-Boren Letter.
Other Business
• The NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING date was set for:
Tuesday, May 23, 1995
10:00 a.m - 2:00p.m
University Club
Lansing, Michigan
