Re:
Committee Report
CMF Visits Capitol Hill
Eight CMF Members including six CMF Board Members, called on the Michigan
Congressional Delegation, Wednesday, February 1, 1994
Laura A. Davis, W.K . Kellogg Foundation
Stephen T. Economy, Ameritech
Dennis H. Marvin, Consumers Power Company
Donald R. Parfet, Upjohn Company Foundation
Ranny Riecker, Harry A. & Margaret D.Foundation, Herbert H.
and Dow Foundation
Leonard W. Smith, The Skillman Foundation
Maureen H. Smyth, Charles Stewart Matt Foundation
Dorothy A. Johnson, Council of Michigan Foundations
The purpose of the visits was to request co-sponsorship ofH.R. 2418, update the
Congressman on foundation and corporate giving in their area, follow-up on last year' s calls,
and reinforce the value of philanthropy in Michigan. We met with 11 Congressmen and aids
to seven other Congressmen.
We obtained the following co-sponsorships for H.R. 2418, the bill which would eliminate the
sunset on gifts of publicly-traded stock to private foundations . The sunset is scheduled to
take effect December 31, 1994:
Congressman James Barcia
Congressman David Camp
Congressman John Conyers, Jr.
Congressman V emon Ehlers
Congressman Dale Kildee
Congressman Joseph Knollenberg
Congressman Nick Smith
Congressman Fred Upton
�49
Congressman David Camp (R-Midland) and House Ways & Means Committee member, has
agreed to be the principal Republican co-sponsor, along with Congressman Andy Jacobs, (DIN).
Coincidentally, the University of Michigan Washington D.C. Alumni Club was sponsoring
their traditional "Congressional Breakfast," the same day we were in Washington, D.C. At the
invitation of Stephen Economy, Ameritech, we joined the alumni for the early breakfast.
Ranny Riecker was introduced as leading the CMF delegation, Senator Donald W. Riegle, Jr.
was the legislator at our table, and we were seated next to the end table including the speaker,
Congressman Fred Upton, Governor John Engler and University officers. It turned out to be a
bit of serendipity, which was very helpful.
Twelve other regional associations also made calls February 1, thanks to the leadership of the
Council on Foundations and RAG Regional Initiative. As you know, CMF has been
encouraging this activity for many years . The Committee on Regional Associations has voted
to make this an annual event to be sponsored with COF.
H.R. 2418
Currently there are 25 cosponsors, including 8 from Michigan. We will continue to work with
our Members to contact their Congressmen. A companion Senate bill should be introduced
shortly.
Communitv Foundation Tax Credit Renewal
The community foundation tax was renewed by the state for 1993 . We will not know if it is
useable for 1994 until June 1, per state statue. It is time to commence discussion with the
Department of Treasury and key legislators on the possibilities of tax incentives for non-profits
or continuing the community foundation tax credit for 1995 and after. This action is consistent
with the CMF Legislative Goal Statement. CMF continues to work with the Michigan
Nonprofit Forum to encourage a tax deduction for gifts to charitable entities.
The Community Foundation Committee on Tax Credit & Resources, chaired by John E.
Hopkins and the Community Foundation Committee, chaired by Mariam Noland, have voted to
proceed to investigate the possibilities. Meetings are being held with key constituents and
United Way representatives. David Haynes, Public Affairs Associates, has been retained to
advise in the process.

�COlJr~CIL
OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS
MANAGEMENT REPORT
This management report has been prepared in the customary format. We recognize the Board's desire for a revised format including
period budget comparisons. We expect to present a revised reporting format which will most likely coincide with the implementation of
new membership and financial software. We are working concurrently with three other RAGs in the software selection process. As we
currently identify management reporting needs and report formats, we will incorporate these needs into the development of reports that
are responsive to your needs.
Revenues
This financial report covers nine months (75%) of our fiscal year. We have recognized 95% of our budgeted revenues through
December of this year. Pledged membership contributions of$35,000 are yet outstanding and contributions of$89,000 have been
received since December 31, 1993. Host Committee contributions of another $20,000 are expected during our last quarter which, in
total, will allow us to achieve our budget target. Community Foundation Special Projects reflect $28,000 more revenue than was
budgeted. This is primarily due to the $30,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to increase the development of foundations in
the Upper Peninsula ofMichigan. Corporate Initiative fund raising is beginning as we work toward incorporating the Corporate
Initiative into the general operating fund . Interest, totaling$ 30,000, has been expressed in supporting this program.
Expenses
Overall, 61% of total budgeted expenditures have occurred though 75% of the year has passed. Expenditures are difficult to compare
between years due to the timing of grant payouts made to community foundations and Michigan AIDS Fund grant recipients. While
total expenditures have increased $470,000 over this same time last year, grants to community foundations have increased
approximately $100,000 over this same period last year and Michigan AIDS Fund grants have increased approximately $270,000 over
the same period totaling a $370,000 increase in total expenditures solely due to grant payout timing. The remaining $100,000 increase
is due primarily to new projects such as the computer hardware and software project which has been undertaken.
In the future, the two grantmaking supporting organizations: Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) and the
Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) will be presented separately. This will improve the comparability of the financial information.

�Expenses-- Continued :
In this nine-month view of our financial position as of December 31 , 1993, there are several expense categories which require
explanation in order to assist in the evaluation of the financial statements.
•
The 21st Annual Conference had the most participants ever in the history of this event. The revenues generated from this event are
expected to exceed our budget expectation by approximately $82,000. Similarly, expenses are expected to exceed budget by
approximately $45,000. This was especially true in the areas of telephone costs, mailing and postage expenses and temporary
help needed to accommodate the larger than expected registrants and materials.
•
Publications and Printing are above our annual budget at this time. One of the primary reasons for this is, again, the additional
cost of publications and printing due to the larger than expected registration for the Annual Conference. The newspaper clipping
service which has become very popular with our members will cost approximately $2,000 more than anticipated due to the
extensive number of clippings we are receiving. In addition, the Family Foundation books, which were a new publication this year,
were very successful and cost approximately $2,000 more than we originally anticipated.
•
Professional Services include costs which relate to the new supporting organizations: the Michigan Community Foundations'
Youth Project and the Michigan AIDS Fund. These costs will be transferred to the supporting organizations quarterly, the first of
which will occur March 31, 1994.
•
Staff Training was not budgeted separately this year. Amounts for staff training have been included in meetings and travel in the
past. Accountability is improved by breaking this amount out. Future budgets will include such a p,rovision.
•
Hotel Costs do not yet reflect the annual conference expense in full.
•
Community Foundation Small Conferences consist of the annual youth conference, mini-grants to community foundations,
workshop training and scholarships to community foundations to attend the CMF Annual Conference. The W.K. Kellogg
Foundation grant provides funding for the youth conference (in addition to the registration fees from the participants). TheW. K.
Kellogg and C.S. Mott Foundations provide funding for the mini-grants and annual scholarships to the CMF conference. This
support is included in "Additional Contributions" in the financial statements. The workshop training expenses are generally covered
by registrants' fees. The annual youth meeting exceeded projected expense by $13,000 and active mini-grant and scholarship
programs exceeded expectations by $12,000. Offsetting these budget overages, workshop training costs were $8,000 under budget.
In summary, management foresees no unusual problems or circumstances.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
From:
Leo J. Brennan, Jr.
Re:
22nd Annual Conference
Program Committee:
The first meeting of the 22nd Annual CMF Conference Program Committee was held on
Monday, January 31 , 1994.
Conference Date:
November 2-4, 1994
Location:
Hyatt Regency, Dearborn
Honorary Chairman:
Max M. Fisher, President
Max M. & Margorie Fisher Fdn., Inc.
(to be confirmed)
Conference Chair:
Valera Washington, Vice President
W.K. Kellogg Foundation
Host Committee Chair:
Leo J. Brennan, Jr. , Executive Director
Ford Motor Company Fund
Barbara VanDusen, Trustee, CFSEM
The Program Committee enthusiastically endorsed "Magic of Community" as the 22nd Annual
CMF Conference theme. This being a topic of intense timeliness around the world, the
committee felt if they could create a vision and make the conferees feel a part of a "community"
they would be challenging themselves as grantmakers, improving their skills while bringing new
ideas to the "community" as a whole.
Many excellent speakers have been suggested and a formal invitation has been extended to Dave
Thomas, Founder, Wendy' s. At the request of our Committee we are looking at a different
format. Four program areas are being developed with subcommittee chairs meeting with their
individual groups to develop session statements which will be submitted for review by the entire
Program Committee at the March 28th meeting. Liz Sullivan has volunteered to be the dean of
the 22nd Annual Conference and will help to finalize structure and sessions with the
�52
subcommittee chairs. The four areas being explored are What is it to be a civil person?, Children
and Families, Rural neighborhood communities, and Collaboration.
Technical sessions such as investment seminar, corporate giving sessions, etc. are being
developed by program committee members. A list of the 22nd Annual CMF Conference
Program Committee is attached.
The Host Committee is meeting on Tuesday, March 15, 1994 to begin making plans for CMF' s
revisit to Detroit. More details to follow in June!

COUNCIL OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW OF THE BUDGET
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 1995
The budget for fiscal year 1995 is presented in a new fC?rmat. The budget presents the
combined operations of the Council ofMichigan Foundations, that is, the combination of
what has been referred to as "core" services in the past and the community foundation
services which have been largely funded by grants from the W.K. Kellogg and Charles
Stewart Mort Foundations. The rationale for this format is to represent the costs of all
services being provided by the Council ofMichigan Foundations regardless of the source
of support. This change was requested by the Executive Committee.
In addition to presenting the budget for total general operations, the budgets for the two
supporting organizations: Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP)
and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) are shown to provide a concise picture of the
anticipated activities ofCMF. Behind the budget summary for CMF as a whole is an
analysis of the components which make up the total operating budget.
Following the two financial schedules is narrative which explains how each budget figure
was derived. The narrative also includes an estimate, for each line item, ofthe anticipated
fiscal 1994 outcome for comparative purposes. .
The total operating budget which follows is a balanced budget with the fund balance being
maintained. The Executive Committee has reviewed and approved the budget.
We hope that this new format will help make the budget review process easier and more
meaningful for you.

COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
GENERAL OPERATING BUDGET NOTES
1994/95 RECOMMENDATIONS
REVENUES
Membership Contributions
1994
$356,800
1995
$363,900
Membership contributions are expected to increase with growth in membership.
Fiscal 1995 will be the fifth year in which membership dues have remained at the
same fee schedule. Fiscal 1995 is projected to increase at a level consistent with the
five-year projection.
Additional Contributions
1994
$312,700
1995
$381,575
Total additional membership contributions included in the general operating budget
are anticipated to be $381,575. This amount is made up of:
Contributions from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles Stewart
Matt Foundation as many of CMF's program activities are part of each
foundation's programmatic interests.
$125,000
An aggressive goal of additional contributions anticipated to be raised from
other members. The general operating budget for fiscal1995 includes the costs
of supporting the corporate initiative program and consequently additional
contributions are expected to be raised as a reflection of the success of this
initiative. Projects will not be undertaken in fiscal1995 unless funding is
secured.
$72,575
Additional contributions from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to fund the
community foundation project. The 1995 general operating budget includes the
fourth payment on the five-year $2 million WKKF Youth Project Grant for
project management and technical assistance. This figure is reduced by
$166,000 allocated to the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
(MCFYP) supporting organization for project management and technical
assistance. (See budget notes for MCFYP.)
$84,000
Additional contributions from the Charles Stewart Matt Foundation to fund the
community foundation project. (This completes the full multi-year year grant
of$350,000.)
$100,000
COREREV.DOC
�25
Annual Conference
$191,099
$148,500
Revenue for the annual conference represents estimated registrations for the 22nd annual
conference in Dearborn, Michigan with no registration fee increase. Fiscal 1994 includes an
education award ($22,000) from the community foundation budget for community foundation
members attending the Annual Conference. The estimated award for 1995 is $20,000.
Host Committee
$40,000
$25,000
This figure represents estimated contributions from local area businesses and foundations to
support host events and activities.
1994
$25,300
Small Conferences
1995
$36,750
We anticipate achieving relatively the same small conference revenues in fiscal year 1995 as
we expect in fiscal 1994.
Small conference revenues in general operations consist of:
Detroit Area Grantmakers
Spring Schools
Grantmaker to Grantseeker
Grand Rapids Donors' Forum
Members Meetings
In addition, small conference revenues generated from
include:
General Education
Accounting
Grants Classification
New Directors' Workshop
Executive Directors' Retreat
Four Regional Discussions
community foundation activities
Development Directors' Workshop
Program Directors' Workshop
Staff Support Workshop
Regional Development Training
If workshops are not held, corresponding expenses will not be incurred. Fee income
does not cover expenses. Each workshop is subsidized by other funding.
1994
$11,800
Directory Sales
1995
$35,000
Fiscal 1995 is the first year of a two-year cycle in which the Directory is completely
reproduced. The 1995 projection 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. 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.

�2(
1994
$5,000
Publications
1995
$12,500
We expect to have publication sales ofthe following materials in fiscal 1995 :
Scholarship Manual
Family Foundations Publication
Establishing a Charitable Foundation
Sales of community foundation materials
Sales of address labels
Sales of tapes and other library materials
1994
$12,000
Investment Income
1995
$22,000
The 1994 figure was based upon an average expected rate of3.5%. The rate of return on our
current investments has been averaging 2.8%. Through revision of our investment strategies,
we expect we can achieve at least 3.5% return on our operating funds in fiscal 1995.
Management Services Revenue
$10,000
$210,000
The staff of the Council of Michigan Foundations provide support services to the two
supporting organizations which were formed in fiscall994 (Michigan AIDS Fund and the
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project). Salaries, benefits and other operating
expenses which will be paid by the supporting organizations under management services
contracts are estimated to be $204,000 for the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project and $6,000 for the Michigan AIDS Fund.

�27
EXPENSES
1994
$508,685
Salaries and Benefits
1995
$600,440
Budgeted salaries, benefits and FICA for fiscal 1995 for the entire staff of CMF are expected
to increase approximately $91,000. The increase is attributable to the following items:
The budget for 1995 includes the salary for the half-time Financial Director to support
general operations ($26,000) which was previously included in professional services.
The Financial Director will spend another quarter-time supporting the Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP), assisting in the management of the
community foundation computer grant and loan project, the cost of which is included
in the MCFYP budget.
The community foundation salary and benefit figure will be lower than anticipated for
1994 due to the departure ofProgram Associate, Jim McHale. His position was not
filled for three months producing budget savings. The budget for 1995 includes two
new full-time community foundation staff Additional salary support for the Youth
Project Coordinator is included in the funding for MCFYP.
The recommended budget figure estimates current salary increases based on studies of
market area, COF, RAG and CMF member organizations. Individual increases will be
determined by management. The President's compensation will be determined by the
Executive Committee.
The Council anticipates that benefits will increase at least 5 - 10% in fiscal1995 with
rising costs and additional staff. CMF provides healthcare coverage for eight
employees, an 8% annuity contribution for all full-time staff, as well as long-term
disability benefits. In addition, FICA has been estimated to increase commensurate
with salary increases.
An allocation of staff salaries and benefits to MCFYP will occur to reflect the staff
resources required to manage the WKKF Youth Project and the community
foundation Computer Project. These projects involve the staff time of six employees
ofCMF.
$21,260
Occupancy
$21,960
Occupancy expense consists of monthly office space maintenance and cleaning and monthly
off-site storage fees. We also lease space in our building for five of our staff people. A
modest increase has been budgeted.
5
�28
$22,800
Telephone
$26,375
The fiscal1995 budget includes a substantial increase over 1994. 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. We anticipate increased
communication activity in the management of the Youth Challenge grants as well as the
administration of the Computer Project grant and loan activity. As such, an allocation of costs
will be made to MCFYP.
Telephone expense will increase over 1994 with th~ addition of electronic mail to our
members as well as with the addition of another staff person -- the Youth Director. This
increase will also cover 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 as well as providing a safety measure.
Equipment Lease and Maintenance
$9,500
Fiscal 1995 costs are expected to include:
Computer hardware
Computer software
Other office equipment
$18,000
$9,000
6,000
3,000
With the recent acquisition of new computer equipment and its essential role in our day-to-day
operations, it is imperative that we maintain adequate maintenance on critical hardware
components. In addition, we expect that software support 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 which will be replaced during fiscal1995. During fiscall994
we eliminated maintenance from some of our computer (word processing) equipment in
anticipation of the arrival of new equipment which distorts the comparison ofyearly data
somewhat.
Mailing and Postage
$33,200
$35,700
Mailings are a significant service provided to members and potential members. We anticipate
the volume of mailings will be approximately unchanged; however, in light of recent reports
that postal rates will be increasing, we have budgeted a 7.5% increase for fiscal1995 to cover
any possible rise in postal rates or volume of materials mailed. We continue to look for ways
to keep our mailing costs down.
6
�29
Supplies
$35,500
$40,800
Supply costs include normal office supplies required such as paper, letterhead, labels, file
folders, etc. Supplies will increase with the additional community foundation staffing and the
work which is occurring in the Upper Peninsula to increase the development of community
foundations. We do not anticipate a significant increase of supply costs in other areas, other
than customary vendor increases, as we are moving to a more "paperless" office as time goes
on. Electronic mail will shortly be available to us eliminating the need for paper messages
both inside and outside of the office.
Insurance
$8,300
$11,600
Insurance expense for fiscal1994 is comprised of:
Property and Casualty coverage ($1,362)
General Liability Umbrella ($800)
Directors' and Officers' Liability coverage ($3,150)
Workers' Compensation insurance ($648).
We anticipate a 5% increase in this area.
Additional insurance expense for community foundation activities of approximately $5,000
has been allocated to MCFYP to provide for:
MCFYP Director and Officer Liability insurance is a new expense
required due to the formation of a new governing board for MCFYP
Liability insurance for the Youth Summer Camp (rider to CMF's policy)
NPO Solutions (computer software vendor for the community foundations computer
project) Key-man Life insurance on principals of the company
Furniture and Equipment
$6,900
$1,000
Minor expenditures are required as the year goes on for small office equipment replacement,
filing cabinets, etc.
Computer
$3,500
$1,500
Costs in this area include incidental computer needs such as rented equipment and emergency
parts. With the addition of new equipment we expect incidental purchases to decrease. See
capital expenditures budget for information on future computer equipment needs.

Association Dues
1995

This figure includes dues for the following associations:

Miscellaneous and Temporarv Help
$10,200
$11,575
The Council utilizes temporary help services during certain peak times during the year
when large mailings are being produced or special projects can be isolated and performed
efficiently by temporary help. The Council was hoping to be able to add an additional staff
person, but budget constraints appear to prohibit such a move for fiscal1995 .
Books and Subscriptions
$8,500
$6,675
One of the most important resources CMF provides is its collection of reference materials in
the library. We now have a professional librarian on the staff who maintains our collection
and adds important pieces into it. The community foundation projects provide a substantial
acquisition budget to maintain current material for our members. Fiscal 1994 is expected to
exceed the budget due to the enhancements which have been made this year. However,

despite the tremendous amount of material available, we are going to reduce our level of
expenditure in fiscall995.

The primary reason for the increased expense in fiscal 1995 is due to the reproduction of The
Michigan Foundation Directory. The advent of desk-top publishing helps CMF produce short and
less formal works in-house. Costs are simply for paper and minor assembly products.

Upper Peninsula Project -Funds were received in fiscal 1994, but expenditures will
$8,000
occur in fiscal 1995.
$4,000
Staff Training
$4,000
Development of our staff is a continuous important process. The staff is committed to
improving skills in areas of their work and the Council supports these carefully planned and
approved activities. Certain staff are enrolled in university programs for journalism, for
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.

1994
$57,500
Meetings and Travel
1995
$65,000
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 an upward trend in costs of approximately 10% for the last several years.
The addition of two 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 follows :
Staff: Jill Mason (covered by computer grant)
$8,550
Todd Jacobs- covered by WKKF and Mott .
8,550
Kathy Agard - covered by WKKF and Mott
10,400
George Tomasi- Upper Peninsula Project covered by WKKF 2,500
3,000
COF Conference at $1,000 each (3 staff)
Other National Conferences (for example, theNational Youth
Leadership Council) at $1,000 each
5,000
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Trustees
Volunteers
5,000
Meetings
Community Foundation Committees (Tax Credit,
Youth Leadership, Users Group, Marketing and
Development, Services, Computers and Research)
4,000
The remaining CMF staff expect to incur normal travel expenses in 1995 carrying out the
responsibilities of their assigned areas. We estimate the cost at $18,000. A portion of
meeting and travel cost will be allocated to the supporting organizations through signed
Administrative Services agreements.
$5,300
Trustee and Committee Meetings
$6,500
The Council ofMichigan Foundations has 17 committees within its structure which meet
periodically throughout the year. Activity among the committee changes and grows each
year. We anticipate that expense in this area will continue an upward trend. The Council
attempts to contain costs of meetings as much as possible by holding meetings at member
foundation sights and at central locations to those involved.

CAPITALEXPENDTIITrnESBUDGET
FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 1995
Two capital expenditure requests were presented to the Executive Committee for approval:
Telephone System
The Council has reached the maximum capacity of its telephone system. The existing system was
purchased in September of 1985 (9 1/2 years ago) and is fully depreciated. We cannot add any
further telephone lines or telephones to our existing system. We are limited by the present system
since it cannot be expanded, nor can we add voice mail capabilities to it.
Printers
The Council's internal computer project is progressing well. Training for the entire staff on the
internal office software (MicroSoft Office) was completed in February. The RAG Initiative is
currently negotiating purchase price with the database software vendor and further training will
occur within the next several months. The more actively involved the staff becomes with our new
technology, the higher the demand for printers becomes. We know that efficiency would increase
significantly with the addition of two printers. We have 14 computer users at the Council.
Funding
Due to budgetary constraints presented previously, the Council would be unable to fund these
expenditures without utilizing amounts which have accumulated in our operating fund balance.
The Executive Committee approved the purchase of a new telephone system for $10,000 or less,
and printers for $5,000 or less through the use of fund balance.

Council of Michigan Foundations
1994-95 ANNUAL REPORT
�MISSION STATEMENT
The Council of Michigan Foundations is an association of
foundations and corporations which make grants for charitable purposes. As a membership organization, our mission
is to enhance, to improve, and to increase philanthropy in
Michigan.
CMF's Mission Statement was revised during
1994 to reaffirm the donor membership nature of the
Council of Michigan Foundations. Grantmakers are
our principal constituency and primary source of support. The Statement also recognizes that CMF
Members come primarily from those who make
grants in the State of Michigan.
Our mission "to enhance" and "to improve" philanthropy declares that we will both advocate for and
educate about practices and policies affecting philanthropy. Our mission "to increase" philanthropy ,
means that we will undertake efforts to increase charitable resources in the state, primarily through the
growth and creation of family foundations, community foundations, and corporate giving programs.
ABOUT THE COUNCIL OF
MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
CMF began in 1973 and was incorporated in 1975.
We are affiliated with the Council on Foundations
and 23 other regional associations of grantmakers
throughout the country.
Serving Members is CMF' s primary focus. ,
However, other constituencies are provided assistance
as they relate to CMF's Purposes. These include all
other Michigan foundations and corporate grantmakers, state and national government representatives,
the media, grantees, the national and regional grantmaking community, and the general public.
To echo the recurring response that CMF should
be a proactive leadership organization, a new Purpose
was approved by the CMF Board and added to the
existing statement. CMF's sixth Purpose-LEADwill be met by sponsoring educational programs on
selected subjects; giving visibility to grantmaking
activity; becoming a clearinghouse for activities by
grantmakers across the country; seeking links with
state organizations to provide increased information
to the grantmaking community; and supporting and
facilitating the collaboration of funders with information or by establishing supporting organizations such
as the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) and the Michigan
Community Foundation Youth Project (MCFYP).
CMF's six purposes are:
Network-To provide the means for regular sharing
of ideas, experiences, and expertise among grantmakers.
Advocate_:_To represent Michigan grantmakers'
interests and concerns with local, state, and national
governments.
Increase-To increase the grantmaking resources of
foundations and corporations in Michigan.
Educate-To provide Michigan grantmakers with
educational resources, information, and services in
order to enhance and improve philanthropy.
Promote-To inform the public of the importance of
contributions of Michigan grantmakers to the citizens
of the state and society-at-large.
Lead-To exercise leadership through facilitating
members' responses to needs in the state.
Lead~Network
OUR PURPOSES
In October 1993, CMF's Future Planning Coinmittee
distributed over 1,000 questionnaires tO Membersincluding donors, trustees and staff-asking that they
share their opinion about each CMF Purpose, and
that they assess CMF' s Member services and identify
possible future programs and activities. The survey
provided valuable insight into our Members' views
concerning the future of CMF.

�MESSAGE TO CMF MEMBERS
Dear CMF Members:
If what transpired last year can serve as an indicator
of what lies ahead, the Council of Michigan
Foundations' future will be bright and exciting.
-There are more Michigan foundations.
• 54 new foundations were created last year,
bringing Michigan's total to 1,198.
-~here
are more corporate giving programs of all
s1zes.
• More corporations are noting the value of corporate philanthropy to their shareholders and their
bottom lines.
-There are more dollars for grants.
• Grantmaking is up 15% or nearly $100,000,000.
-There are more volunteers.
• At CMF, the number has increased to more than
400 volunteers.
• The number of youth participating with
Community Foundation Advisory Committees
has grown to 1,200.
• Grant r~cipien~s rep~rt their grants are having
greater 1mpact m theu communities.
-And within CMF
• 80 trainings have been held;
• 17 new publications were published;
• on average, CMF received 30 requests a day for
information;
• the office has expanded its physical space; and
• the staff has further diversified.
In 1973, when the first CMF Conference was
held, the grantmaking community represented only
great r:eeds a~d high hopes. Twenty-one years later
the evidence 1s clear that by working together we
can ach~eve good things for the people of Michigan.
Everything CMF has been able to accomplish relates to
the commitment and involvement of our membership.
You may recall reading as a young child,
"Through the Looking Glass," by Lewis Carroll. In the
s~o:Y, the Good Queen tells Alice something that is
nd1culous, and Alice replies, "But that's impossible." The Good Queen says, "Well, of course it's
The Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees
impossible. I always believe in impossible things. I
make it a point to believe in one impossible thing
before breakfast every day."
That is just what the CMF Members, Board, and
staff have d~ne - "believed in impossible things"and good thmgs have been accomplished. CMF is
now in the beginning stages of a challenging FiveYear Strategic Plan, and the CMF trustees and staff
are confident that the revitalized mission, goals, and
values, will help CMF continue to meet the challenges of the future and to provide all Michigan
grantmakers with the best possible service.
It is exciting to think of what lies ahead for
Michigan philanthropy.

�ADVOCATE
To represent Michigan grantmakers' interests and
concerns with local, state and national governments
• CMF successfully removed the $3 million cap on
the Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit
by obtaining Governor Engler's approval.
• CMF sponsored a Capitol Hill Washington Visit
in February, 1995, in which eleven CMF staff and
Members traveled to Washington, D.C. to inform
the Michigan Congressional Delegation of philanthropic programs and grantmaker concerns.
• CMF gained support from ten Michigan congressmen for HR733-a bill involving the donation of
publicly-traded stock to private foundations, and
HR734-which allows private and community
foundations to establish a tax-exempt common
investment fund.
• The biennial Legislative Seminar for Michigan
legislators and their aides was held.
• Liaison with state groups continues. CMF staff
serve on committees and boards of organizations
such as the Michigan Community Service
Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and
Michigan CARES.
• CMF continues its legislative effort as directed by
the current Legislative Goal Statement.
Governor Engler signed an amended Michigan
Community Foundation Tax Credit into law July 5,
1994, removing the $3 million cap required in previous
legislation. The tax credit amendments were the
result of CMF's Tax Committee and Government
Relations Committee, and community, private and
corporate foundations and giving programs across
the state working together to increase philanthropic
giving. CMF was instrumental in creating the original tax credit in 1988 to encourage gifts to community foundations.
4
The Council's legislative seminar was held in
Lansing in March. It brought together state legislators, their aides, and CMF Trustees, staff and
Members in an information exchange.
On February 1, 1995, a delegation of eleven
CMF representatives went to Washington, DC to
meet with Michigan legislators and share information on Michigan's philanthropic activity. The
event, dubbed the "Washington Visit," occurs yearly,
at which time Congressmen are 1) updated on the
benefits of Michigan foundations and corporate giving programs, 2) given a printout indicating all
foundations in their district, as well as a complimentary copy of The Michigan Foundation Directory, and
3) their support is requested for legislation important
to grantmakers. This year, cosponsorship of two
important tax bills was sought: HR 733 and HR 734.
�The annual "Washington Visit" allowed for representatives of Michigan's philanthropic community to discuss
issues with the State's congressional office holders.
The response to our request was impressive: ten
Michigan Congressmen agreed to cosponsor HR
733; and eleven congressmen are cosponsoring HR
734.
A complimentary grantsmanship seminar for
legislators and their aides, "Foundation and
Corporation Grants: Helping Your Constituents
Find Resources," was held March 28, 1995 at the
Lansing Center. Approximately 70 individuals were
in attendance at this biennial seminar that is funded
by CMF's W.W. Allen Fund. This year, six CMF
Members presented information and answered
questions posed by the legislators and their aides.
One participant from each legislative office received
a complimentary copy of The Michigan Foundation
Directory, 9th edition.

�INCREASE
To increase the grantmaking resources of foundations and corporations in Michigan
• CMF published So You Want to Give? and distributed it complimentary to donors and their advisors.
'iestenladoda11
IH\I\IU'(.Wl"\"'r..\1'111l-\fi0\IIJR \I
• A new fund was created: the Russell G. Mawby
Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy.
• Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow was published to
report on the CMF Improving Philanthropy
Committee's findings regarding Michigan's educational institutions and the presence of philanthropic/ volunteerism courses.
• A CMF Detroit office was established to serve
CMF's many southeastern Michigan Members.
• An Internship Program was established, offering
college students an opportunity to learn more
about Michigan philanthropy, while at the same
time providing assistance to Michigan grantmakers in carrying out the grantmaking process.
• More than 40 Michigan foundations and corporate grantmakers are using the CMF-developed
Common Grant Application Form.
A new product of CMF' s Increasing Philanthropy
Program, So You Want to Give?, was distributed complimentary to all CMF Members, as well as to several
attorneys, accountants, and trust officers throughout
the State of Michigan. The booklet will be a useful
tool for these individuals when explaining the major
options for giving that are available to Michigan
donors. In total, 1,000 copies of the 11-page booklet
were distributed.
When the Improving Philanthropy Committee of
CMF was formed in 1987, no Michigan college or
university had a comprehensive program related to
the interests of the nonprofit sector. Today, 27
Michigan institutions of higher education are offering
classes or curricula in philanthropy and volunteerism. To summarize and share the progress made
over the past seven years, CMF released a new publication: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. All CMF
Members received a complimentary copy.
The idea of a common application form to simplify the grantrnaking review process has caught on
6
in Michigan, thanks to the work of several CMF
Members who volunteered their time to make suggestions and audit several drafts of the form. CMF
staff provided assistance in designing and implementing the user-friendly Common Grant Application
Form, which meets the needs of a variety of grantmakers. To date, 43 Michigan grantrnaking organizations are accepting the Form from grantseekers.
Fifty university representatives were contacted
by letter and flyer to notify them of CMF' s new
Internship Program. To date, students are involved
in the work of seven CMF Members participating in
the program: Community Foundation for
Southeastern Michigan, Detroit Edison, Frey
Foundation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Kresge
Foundation, McGregor Fund, and the Muskegon
County Community Foundation. An important element of the CMF program that differentiates it from
other internships is a series of CMF seminars
designed for the students. The seminars foster a
broad picture of the field of philanthropy and afford
the students an opportunity to network with peers.
In order to provide CMF Members in Wayne,
Oakland and Macomb counties with greater accessibility to services, CMF acquired office space in
Detroit and staffed the office with a volunteer
Consultant-in-Residence. The consultant works to
promote philanthropic networks, provides one-onone assistance to Members, and helps to coordinate
CMF's Detroit area educational programming.
�Russell G. Mawby Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy
During 1994, Dr. Russell G. Mawby, chairman and CEO of the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, announced his plans for retirement in 1995. Dr. Mawby is the founder of
the Council of Michigan Foundations,
served as its first Chair in 1972, and continues his involvement in CMF today as
Advisory Cabinet chair and chair of CMF's
Improving Philanthropy and Increasing
Philanthropy committees. In honor of Dr.
Mawby's outstanding commitment to philanthropy, the CMF Board of Trustees has
established the Russell G. Mawby Fund to
Improve and Increase Philanthropy. The
Fund will be used to continue and expand
CMF's efforts to enhance philanthropy and
to increase charitable resources in
Michigan. To date, the Fund is supported
by 58 CMF Members.
P RIVATE: F AMILY
&
Ruth Mawby, Herb Dow (CMF Board Chairman), and

Members during the year. In total, 40 new
Members of all membership categories were
accepted.
• Family FAX, a new CMF newsletter developed
specifically to address the needs of family foundation grantmakers, premiered during Spring 1994
and dealt with topics of finance and investments.
• Two "Roundtable" meetings were held during the
22nd Annual Conference: Program Officers'
Roundtable on evaluation was attended by 100
individuals; and the Scholarship Roundtable was
attended by 50 individuals.
• An audience of 40 CEOs and program officers
attended "Leadership and the Professions."
• The "Improving the Grant Proposal Process"
workshop offered 100 grantseekers the opportunity to meet one-on-one and review grant proposals
with 15 grantmakers.
Although family foundations and independent
foundations are often considered to be very similar
and are many times spoken about in the context of
7
�f"l
"private foundations," their needs vary. CMF programming has been structured to meet these different needs.
Most frequently, family foundations are small,
unstaffed organizations which strongly reflect the
personal values and group dynamics of the donor's
family and heirs. Identifying and articulating interests that are assumed to be intuitively known, finding time to administer an effective grantrnaking program within a fully-engaged business schedule, supporting leadership in younger family members, and
dealing with personal relationships in a business setting, are some of the issues which surface for these
groups that are absent in other foundation settings.
Services provided by CMF' s Family Foundation
Program that are welcomed in addressing these
unique circumstances include personalized technical
assistance, publications and meetings which concentrate on topics of peer interests.
Family foundation Members received a complimentary copy of two new CMF publications:
Preparing the Next Generations-a workbook of practical ideas and activities to foster intergenerational
involvement in family foundations; and Family
Foundation Management Audit-a study of midsize
family foundation management practices.
The needs of Michigan's independent foundations are being met through a new, formalized program which is overseen by the CMF Independent
Foundation Committee. Committee members are
currently in the process of identifying and developing educational and networking opportunities for
"Roundtable" meetings for family foundation grantmakers were held during the Annual Conference to
discuss topics of mutual interest.

CMF's 64 independent foundation Members. A
unique event offered during the program's first year
was a CMF seminar, "Leadership and the
Professions," that intellectually challenged participants by using literature to discuss leadership issues.
CMF independent foundation Members range
from the largest foundation in the U.S. (the Ford
Foundation with assets of nearly $7 billion) to foundations with assets of approximately $90,000. Of all
membership classifications, independent foundations employ the most staff: 466 individuals consisting of CEOs, program and financial officers.
CMF provides technical assistance on an as-needed
basis and has increased its effort to share information about independent foundations by regularly
highlighting their programs and services in The
Michigan Scene and the Memo to Members.
Several Michigan independent foundations are
founding organizations of CMF, including the W.K.
Kellogg, Kresge, Hudson-Webber, and Charles Stewart
Mott Foundations, as well as the McGregor Fund.
�CORPORATE: FOUNDATION
& CORPORATE
GIVING PROGRAM
• Sixty corporate grantmakers attended the 12th
Annual Michigan Corporate Grantmaker
Workshop, "The Information Superhighway:
What Grantmakers Need to Know," cosponsored
by CMF.
• 16 corporations received individualized planning
and technical consultations.
• More than 75 corporate grantmakers attended
three technical and topical corporate sessions
during the CMF 22nd Annual Conference.
The Corporate Giving Newsletter provides an excellent opportunity for Michigan corporate representatives to share information among community leaders
about their corporate giving programs, as well as to
obtain information about new grantmaking strategies.
Articles placed in Michigan's key business publications serve to raise the level of awareness of corporate leaders about the need for and benefits of corporate philanthropy. Therefore, CMF staff remain
instrumental in obtaining articles from Members to
enhance the issue of Michigan Forward magazine
which is dedicated to corporate philanthropy. This
marks CMF's fifth year in coauthoring the edition.
• CMF staff assisted the Michigan State Chamber
of Commerce with the development of articles for
the May edition of Michigan Forward.
• More than 30 requests each week for information
on establishing a corporate foundation or corporate
giving program, organizing a matching gift program, or seeking technical assistance on a corporate-related grantmaking topic were answered
each week.
• During the year, more than 1,300 articles have
appeared in newspapers across the state highlighting the activities of CMF' s corporate Members.
The Corporate Giving Program, which CMF began
in November 1989, was established to encourage the
formation of new corporate foundations and corporate giving programs, and to enhance the efficiency
and effectiveness of existing giving programs in
Michigan.
In meeting this objective, CMF staff coordinate
several meetings and training sessions to assist corporate representatives with development and implementation of giving programs. The Corporate
Grantmakers Workshop was held December 2,1994
at Ford Motor Company World Headquarters with 60
individuals in attendance. Sessions at the 22nd
Annual Conference that were designed for corporate
grantmakers included: "America's Search for
Heroes," "United Way in the Competitive
Environment," and "How Can Giving Away Money
Be Unethical?"
Participants exchanged ideas at the 12th Annual
Michigan Corporate Grantmakers' Conference, "The
Information Superhighway and What Grantmakers
Need to Know." The conference was hosted at Ford
Motor Company World Headquarters in Dearborn.
COMMUNITY
Beyond the services provided by the CMF Community
Foundation Program, three special projects address specific community foundation needs: the Technical
Assistance Project, Upper Peninsula Project, and the
Michigan Communities' Foundation Youth Project
(which is reported under the CMF Purpose of "Lead.")
• National Community Foundation Conference
• Development Training for Community
Foundations
• Three-State Community Foundation Conference
• CMF Executive Director Retreat
• Training Workshop for Community Foundation
Support staff
• New Staff Orientation for Community
Foundations
• More than 220 participants at the 22nd Annual
Conference were community foundation grantmakers.

�Technical Assistance Project
CMF is dedicated to supporting the infrastructure of
community foundations across the State:
* by extending the geographic reach of community foundations;
* by providing activities which build the organizational viability and leadership potential of
Member community foundations;
* by assisting community foundations in raising
assets; and
* by implementing the youth component of the
MCFYP challenge grant.
During 1994, tremendous progress was made
toward building community foundations throughout the State of Michigan, and it is possible that
CMF will soon meet its goal of ensuring that every
Michigan citizen has access to a community foundation. To date, 63 of Michigan's 83 counties are now
served by community foundations.
• A new publication was developed in collaboration
with The Philanthropic Initiative: Community
Foundations and the Coming Intergenerational Transfer
of Wealth: An Overview of Approaches and Strategies.
• 109 on-site consultations were completed, and 62
legal questions have been answered for 26 community foundations.
This is the first of three papers that are intended to
serve as primers on the measures community
foundations might consider taking to strengthen
_ their outreach to prospective donors and the advisors. The publication was produced through a
grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
• CMF has retained the services of a researcher from
Grand Valley State University's Center on
Philanthropy. The researcher will analyze data
and then develop a monograph that examines
when community foundations can financially support their operating costs based on fee income and
projects. This work will also test the $5 million
"take-off" theory.
• Opportunities for community foundation representatives to attend CMF educational events are occasionally subsidized. Mini-grants totaling $95,295
were distributed to community foundations; scholarships averaging $356 were awarded for staff to
attend educational events. Data compiled this year
revealed that support was provided for 933 participants at 21 trainings:
• The dollar cap on the Michigan Tax Credit was
successfully removed.
• The Michigan Community Foundations'
Communication Manual was published to aid community foundations with their marketing plan.
• A Clark, Klein and Beaumont attorney was
retained to provide planned giving consultation to
community foundations. The CMF software
license for Crescendo, a program used to facilitate
comprehensive asset development and planned
giving, was transferred to this law firm for their
work in servicing CMF community foundation
Members.

�EDUCATE
To provide Michigan grantmakers with educational resources, information and services in order to
enhance and to improve philanthropy
This Purpose is met through the provision of general
CMF services, as well as services provided by two special
projects: the Improving Philanthropy Project and the
Information Services Project.
The Improving Philanthropy Project is aninitiative to strengthen philanthropy in Michigan
through improving, wherever possible, the efficiency and effectiveness of the nonprofit sector.
Included among the Project's achievements is an
annual meeting of grantseekers with grantmakers (Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminars), and
the establishment of two service organizations:
the Michigan Campus Compact and Michigan
Nonprofit Forum.
The Information Services Project was implemented through a CMF Community Foundation
Program grant. However, the Project is now
funded through CMF's general operating budget. CMF continues to expand its unique Library
collection, adding over 700 items during the fiscal year. Based on the phenomenal growth in
the number of requests received, CMF
Information Services has become a valuable
resource to Michigan grantmakers.
• A new feature of the Memo to Members,
Infonnation Alert, shared details on new publications available on loart from the CMF Library to
Members.
• CMF cosponsored the Child Care Conference,
"Strengthening the Circle of Caring Communities
for Children," held October 1994 at the Amway
Grand Plaza, Grand Rapids.
• The sixth annual report of Capital Campaigns
was distributed throughout the state as an insert
to the Spring issue of The Michigan Scene.
• CMF cosponsored the Sixth Annual
Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar, "A Vital
Alliance for Michigan."
Thursday, May 12, 1994 marked the sixth consecutive year that grantmakers and grantseekers gathered together to examine challenges facing the nonprofit sector. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar VI,
"A Vital Alliance for Michigan," focused on exploring and defining the dynamics of the grantor I
grantee relationship. The keynote speaker for the
conference was the nation's 38th president, Jimmy
Carter. The Grantmakers/Grantseekers seminars are
sponsored by CMF and the Michigan Nonprofit
Forum.
• CMF staff managed the Gathering Place and the
Video Film Festival during the 22nd Annual
Conference.
• A total of 1,531 requests were answered by CMF
Information Services staff by circulating library
materials, bibliographies and handouts, and
answering reference questions.
• CMF produced a new version of its Publications
Brochure to provide a concise listing of all available CMF publications and resource materials.
Jimmy Carter, the nation's 38th president (shown
here with Dorothy Johnson and Leonard Smith),
was the 1994 keynote speaker for the
Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar.

�years, survey results show that goals and total contributed dollars have increased dramatically. More
than 150 of the state's nonprofiforganizations
responded to the 1994 survey, reporting 92 capital
and/ or endowment campaigns seeking more than
$1.7 billion in contributions. The Report was distributed to more than 5,000 individuals and nonprofit
organizations via The Michigan Scene.

"The Gathering Place," a tradition at each annual
conference, is a location to meet friends, view video
productions of interest, and browse the various
publications available.
More than 1,560 informational requests were
received by Information Services this year. CMF
staff answered these by circulating library materials,
bibliographies and handouts, and answering reference questions. Reference services saw the greatest
growth during the year with an increase of 1,065%
documented over the previous year. A flyer,
Information Alert, was published bimonthly to highlight new resource items of interest to grantmakers.
Although automation of library holdings was completed in 1994, library staff are now pursuing digitalization of sample forms and documents. A
review of the necessary hardware and software to
perform this service is underway. Staff are also
evaluating the possibility of allowing Michigan nonprofit organizations to access the CMF computer
database from remote locations.
As a continuing service to CMF Members, the
sixth annual survey of Michigan capital campaigns
was conducted by CMF with the cooperation of
grantseekers and grantmakers across the state. The
final product, the Sixth Annual Nonprofit Funding
Campaigns Report, assisted grantmakers in obtaining
a sense of the fund-raising activity within Michigan.

remained relatively constant during the past six

CMF's quarterly tabloid, The Michigan Scene, provides a vital avenue for grantmakers to exchange
viewpoints, announce recent grants, share staff and
programmatic changes,-leam of upcoming events
and new publications, and gain insight into the everchanging needs of Michigan's citizens. CMF helps
to increase public understanding of the value and
needs of the philanthropic community, as well as
calls attention to the good deeds of Michigan grantmakers, assists foundations in broadening their base
of support, and informs grantmakers of successful
work in the hope that efforts will be replicated.
More than 5,000 individuals receive complimentary
CMF publications on a regular basis.
The ninth edition of The Michigan Foundation
Directory was published in November 1995. This
edition marked the first time that CMF staff performed all functions of Directory production, as well
as spearheaded the tasks of marketing and saleswhich in previous years had been shared with the
Michigan League for Human Services. The 1995
Directory reports that Michigan foundations currently number 1,198 (up from 1,144 noted in the 8th edition), with 404 providing grants of $50,000 or more
annually. The state's 332largest foundations hold
over 98% of total foundation assets.
CMF's Major Publication.....
Production, marketing, and sales of The
Michigan Foundation Directory are conducted by
CMF. The current Directory reports:
• There are 24 company-sponsored foundations
in Michigan with assets of more than $1 mil,}ion. Many companies do not have foundations, but maintain giving programs through
their corporations.
o Twenty-nine community foundations in
Michigan have assets in excess of $1 million.
In addition to these, 19 other community
foundations serve the state's upper and lower
peninsulas.
o The number of foundations granting $50,000
or more annually has increased nearly eightfold since 1975.
�LEAD
To serve as a catalyst for philanthropic responses
to critical needs in the state
"Lead," the new Purpose of the Council of Michigan
Foundations, was added to CMF's existing statement
during 1994 to reflect our Members' belief that CMF
should be a proactive leadership organization. CMF's
two supporting organizations-the Michigan AIDS
Fund and the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project-currently assist in meeting this objective.
Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF)
The Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) was established in
1990 as a CMF fund. In 1993, MAF was incorporated as a supporting organization to CMF and is now
governed by a Board of Trustees separate from that
of CMF. We are proud that MAF has gained national recognition as a successful statewide collaborative
grantmaking model.
• The Michigan AIDS Fund appointed its first
Executive Director
• Governor John Engler responded to a request
spearheaded by the Fund to declare the first week
of April as Michigan AIDS Awareness Week
• $720,000 was awarded during the year to 43 AIDSrelated community-based organizations
Director of AIDS Policy, Patricia S. Fleming, MAF
has gained national recognition as a statewide collaborative grantmaking model d~aling with this
issue of urgent public health concern.
This year, MAF committed $720,000 in grant
awards to 43 AIDS-related organizations and sponsored the statewide Michigan Conference on AIDS.
The conference was convened April21-22, 1994 during "Michigan AIDS Awareness Week" in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Public
Health. More than 180 active health care workers
and volunteers working in HIV I AIDS attended the
event held at the Holiday Inn Convention Center in
Lansing. Eleven sessions included presentations on
the skills-building topics of grant proposal preparation, nonprofit board development, program outcomes evaluation, current AIDS treatment issues,
collaboration, support group activities, and working
with the media.

in Michigan
• Partnerships with youth advisory councils of community foundations generated innovative HIV
peer-education projects
From 1981, when the first AIDS case was reported,
until1995, 6,607 people in Michigan were diagnosed
with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Surveillance data indicate between 12,000 and
17,000 Michigan residents are infected with the HIV
virus; many are unaware they carry the virus that
causes AIDS. Commended as an exemplary U.S.
philanthropic response to AIDS by White House
Patricia S. Fleming,

AIDS Policy, commended
the work of the Michigan
AIDS Fund, which has
gained national recognition
as a collaborative model.

�Michigan Community Foundations'
Youth Project (MCFYP)
The CMF Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project was organized to carry out the project initiated with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to foster the
development of Michigan community foundations
and youth involvement in grantmaking. The project
offers challenge grants to community foundations
meeting project criteria. MCFYP also oversees a
companion grant from the Kellogg Foundation to
assist community foundations in implementing
information systems hardware and software.
• More than 1,000 young people are involved in
"hands-on" philanthropy by serving on the Youth
Advisory Committees of community foundations.
"The Immersion" activity, a tradition of the Youth
Leadership Conference, is a time for YAC members
to develop team building and group skills. Above,
participants learn about trust.
• More than 200 young people and adult advisors
attended CMF's August 1994 three-day summer
Youth Leadership Conference, "A Place for

stages of installation.
• CMF held a Computer-related Training Workshop.
• A computer consultant has been retained to assist
in the implementation process and to troubleshoot
for community foundations involved in the project.
Other Related Initiatives
These initiatives compliment the Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP)
challenge grant and increase the ability of community foundations to work in innovative and collaborative ways in their communities.
The Youth Community Partnership is a collaborative effort with the Michigan Department of
Civil Rights and the Martin Luther King, Jr.
Commission. The Partnership provides minigrants to CMF Youth Advisory Committees
statewide to develop, support, and/ or recognize
programs or individuals that promote civil
rights awareness and understanding, and
encourage an appreciation for cultural diversity.
* Eighteen projects were funded.
The Michigan CARES project, is a public/ private partnership with the Michigan Community
Service Commission. Michigan CARES is funded
by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the
Corporation for National and Community
Service to assist six communities in developing
comprehensive, collaborative plans for community service. The goal of Michigan CARES is to
design a community planning model that will
develop and enhance service projects, as well as
~trengthen relationships among community organizations, schools, businesses, local governments,
and community foundations. Michigan CARES
will also coordinate programs, provide resources
and training, coordinate conferences, and implement creative solutions to problems which might
arise with the six communities.
* Six CMF Member community foundations are
participating in the Michigan CARES Project:
Marquette Community Foundation, Community
Foundation for Northeast Michigan, Muskegon

FINANCES
Board of Trustees
Council of Michigan Foundations
We have audited the accompanying
combined balance sheet of the Council
of Michigan Foundations and supporting organizations as of March 31, 1995,
and the related combined statement of
activity and changes in fund balances
for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Council's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on
our audit. We have previously audited
and reported upon the March 31, 1994
financial statements, which are included in summary form for comparative
information.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined
financial position of the Council of
Michigan Foundations and supporting
organizations at March 31, 1995, and
the combined results of their operations for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

substantially all of which are unrestricted gifts and contributions and over which the Board of Trustees has full
control as to use in pursuing any of the purposes of the
Council of Michigan Foundations (the Council). Certain
restricted funds related to operating activities are
accounted for in the general operations fund group since
they are not sufficiently significant to warrant recognition separately.
• Supporting Organization Funds are used to account for
the activity of two supporting organizations formed during fiscal1994. The supporting organizations are funded
by donor-restricted grants, gifts and contributions. Grant

been prepared on a combined basis to include its affiliated
supporting organizations because the Council's Board of
Trustees exercises significant control over these organizations through the appointment of board members for each
of these organizations.
Fixed Assets: Fixed assets, which are composed of office
space, furniture and equipment, are stated at estimated
market value at the date donated or at cost, if purchased.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Contributed Rent and Furnishings: The Council leases
office space at amounts ($22,700 in 1995 and $21,800 in
1994) less than estimated fair rental value. The difference
between the estimated fair rental value of the office space
and total occupancy costs is approximately $37,700 in 1995
($38,100 in 1994), which is recognized as a contribution and
occupancy expense in the accompanying combined financial statements.
The Council received furnishings for new office space in
1995 at an amount less than estimated fair market value.
The difference between the estimated fair market value of
the office furnishings and actual cost was approximately
20
$35,500, which is recognized as a contribution and fixed
asset costs in the accompanying combined financial statements.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts reported in the 1994
financial statements have been reclassified to conform with
the 1995 presentation.
Note B-Fund Purposes
General Operations: Amounts classified as General
Operations include revenues and expenses related to the
administrative and service activities of the CounciL
Supporting Organizations
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project: During fiscal1994, the Council formed a supporting organization
(Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project) for the
primary purpose of administering a project commencing in
1988 that was funded by theW. K. Kellogg Foundation.
The project is aimed at encouraging youth development in
local communities while strengthening community foundation leadership and grantmaking capacity. The Council has
acted as administrator of the original project, with all grant
monies received from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation being
�"
distributed to community foundation members under conditions defined by the grant agreement.
The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
was incorporated on November 24, 1993 with a separate
Board of Trustees to oversee the grantmaking activities of
this project. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation transferred
approximately $15,000,000 to the supporting organization
at the end of fiscal1994, and transferred approximately
$4,500,000 in fiscal1995, completing theW. K. Kellogg
Foundation's project commitment to this initiative.
The Council also received a three-year grant totaling
$350,000 from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation to
assist in funding this project. The Michigan Community
Foundations' Youth Project received the final payment of
$100,000 under this award during fiscal1995.
The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project also
received a $2,600,000 grant in fiscal1995 from the W. K.
Kellogg Foundation to provide funds for the computerization of Michigan's community foundations, support for
foundations which assume responsibility for assisting
small affiliate community foundations in their development, and extended support for the youth project, including camp subsidies and national leadership conference
funding.
Michigan AIDS Fund: The Council formed a supporting
organization during fiscal 1994 for the purpose of managing and administering revenues and expenses of a collaborative funding grant program, previously administered by
the Council, which acts as a vehicle for Council members
and others to cooperatively fund AIDS-related projects in
Michigan. The supporting organization has a separate
Board of Trustees to oversee the growing activities and
grantmaking responsibilities of this program.
Endowment Funds
Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund: The Russell G. Mawby
Endowment Fund was established during fiscal1995 to
honor Dr. Mawby's contributions to Michigan philanthropy. Dr. Mawby, Chairman and CEO of theW. K.
Kellogg Foundation, was the founder of the Council of
Michigan Foundations and served as its first Chairman in
1972. The purpose of this fund is to improve and increase
philanthropy by continuing and expanding the Council of
Michigan Foundations' efforts to enhance philanthropy
and increase charitable resources. The principal amount is
nonexpendable, with the investment income to be used for
the stated purpose of this fund .
William W. Allen Endowment Fund: The purpose of this
fund is to record revenues and expenses directed toward
furthering the understanding of private philanthropy in
federal and state legislative and regulatory matters. The
endowment was established with restricted contributions
from the member foundations of the Council given in
honor of a former Council board member who was also
the first Government Relations Chairman. The principal
amount is nonexpendable, with the investment income to
be used for the stated purpose of this fund.

NoteD-Management Services Agreement
An administrative services agreement exists between the
Council and its supporting organizations. The administrative agreement requires the Council to provide executive,
management, administrative and other such services that
the supporting organizations may require. The amounts of
these services charged to the supporting organizations are
eliminated in the preparation of the combined financial
statements.
Note E-Federal Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Council is
a public charity, as described in Sections 509(a)(1) and
170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal
Revenue Service has also ruled that the two supporting
organizations, the Michigan Community Foundations'
Youth Project and the Michigan AIDS Fund, are exempt
from federal income tax as specified under the provisions
of Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Note F-Transfers to General Operations
Transfers to General Operations represent amounts used
primarily for the purchase of additional office space, to
make necessary renovations and to complete the computerization of the Council's offices.
Note G-Commitment
As a result of expanded programming, the Council entered
into an agreement in principle to purchase additional office
space at its current location. It is anticipated that the
Council will enter into a purchase agreement subsequent
to March 31, 1995 committing the Council to pay approximately $130,000 upon closing. The Council expects to take
possession of the office space in June 1995. The facility will
be financed entirely by unrestricted investment earnings
on Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
funds.

22ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE
OF THE
COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
Hyatt Regency Dearborn
November 2-4, 1994
�*
HONORARY CHAIR
MAX M. FISHER
Max M. Fisher
2
The tradition of naming an outstanding philanthropic leader and
contributor as honorary chair of the CMF Annual Conference is distinctively heightened by the selection of this year's honoree.
Max Martin Fisher, Chairman of the Max M. and Marjorie S.
Fisher Foundation, is an individual who has responsibly served the
philanthropic community and the larger world community with
dedication for many years. In addition to guiding the work of the
foundation which bears his name, he is an active board member of
Comerica Incorporated, Detroit, and of So theby's, London, England.
He also currently lends his time and expertise as a chairman or
board member to a host of civic organizations. These include
American Friends ofthe Hebrew University of Jerusalem, B'nai
Birth International Board of Overseers, Detroit Institute of Arts
Founders Society, Greater Detroit Area Hospital Council,
Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, the President's Export
Council, and the Task Force for Operation Independence (Israel and
the United States).
Former board affiliations and/ or chairman roles- both professional and civic- are too numerous to list. A selected few from
among the professional field are: American Petroleum Institute,
Loyal American Life Insurance Company, Marathon Oil Company,
Michigan Bell Telephone Company, Michigan Consolidated Gas
Company, and United Brands Company. Past civic posts include
the Commission on Private Philanthropy, Council of Jewish
Federations, Detroit Renaissance, Detroit Symphony Orchestra,
Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, President's Task Force on
Private Sector Initiatives, United Foundation of Detroit, and the
Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Centennial Commission.
From that brief sampling of affiliations, it is easy to see why Max
M. Fisher is the recipient of a dozen honorary degrees and nearly
fifty awards- state, national, or international- for his leadership,
administration, and guidance. These honors have been bestowed
by such organizations as the Synagogue Council of America,
American Jewish Congress, National Black Republicans Council,
United Jewish Appeal, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Ohio
State University, Wayne State University, and the State Bar of
Michigan, to name only a few.
CMF proudly salutes Max M. Fisher, honorary chair of the 1994
Council of Michigan Foundations annual conference.

DEAR FOUNDATION AND CORPORATE GRANTMAKERS:
Caring communities are places where the arts, commerce, and people
of all ages thrive and support each other. At their best, communities
are the places where a myriad of relationships, families, and services
interact for the common good. Where communities work well, they
become magic places- places we all recognize from the best of our
life experience- places we hope to recreate, sustain, and nurture
through our work as grantmakers.
Welcome to the CMF's 22nd Annual Conference! We expect the
conference theme, The Magic of Community, to come alive through
highly participatory discussions on vital issues including civil citi~
zenship, children and families, community building, and collaboration. Throughout this meeting, we will challenge ourselves to look
closely at how well we contribute to the innovations and vitality of
the communities we serve.
Mayor Dennis Archer, Neal Peirce, Dr. Johnetta Cole, Neal Shine,
and Wendy's founder R. David Thomas are just a few of the dynamic
speakers who will help stimulate our dialog. Also, adding to the
magical atmosphere will be several delightful cultural and entertainment opportunities including an evening at the Henry Ford
Museum.
We hope the entire program will capture each of our imaginations, inspire new grantmaking strategies, and offer depth of knowledge along with specific tools to advance the contributions we make.
Our hope is that visions of the MAGICAL COMMUNITY, and our
roles within it, will emerge and grow through the synergy and reflections this conference provides.
Thanks for joining us!

RUSSELL
G. MAWBY
Russell G. Mawby has announced his retirement as chairman and CEO of the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation. On his retirement, CMF
members and CMF staff wish to acknowledge, with sincere gratitude and deep
respect, the countless contributions by Dr.
Mawby to philanthropy's growth and
progress in our state and our nation.
His legacy is more than thirty years of extraordinary leadership for the Kellogg
Foundation and for Michigan's philanthropic
field. To attempt an inclusive listing of his
accomplishments, awards, honors, or service
to not-for-profit organizations, institutions,
and agencies would require several pages in
this program. "Russ" wouldn't approve of
such treatment; he likely would quote W.K.
Kellogg saying, "Thank you, I appreciate the
intention, but hold down on the applesauce."
However, we are compelled by friendship
and admiration to mention at least a selected
few of the many highlights in Russ Mawby's
career - with apologies for the hundreds we
do not include here .
• 25 years of dedicated, exceptional stewardship of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation as its
President, Chief Executive Officer, and
Chairman.
r~
• Founder and former Board Chairman of
the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF).
• Founder and former Board Chairman of
the Michigan Nonprofit Forum (MNF).
• The driving force behind the advent of the
Kellogg Youth Initiative Program and the
Kellogg National Fellowship Program.
• A founding member of the National
Foundation Center and chair of its successful
capital campaign to provide essential technology to increase its efficiency and services.
• A key figure in the dynamic reinvigoration
of downtown Battle Creek.
• An influential participant in bringing about
favorable outcomes during Congressional
deliberations on excess business holdings for
private foundations and the reduction of
excise taxes for philanthropic organizations.
• An active, tireless supporter and promoter
of increasing philanthropy and volunteerism
in Michigan.
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.

Community Development: A Conversation
with Neal R. Peirce
Marquis Ballroom, Second Level
The shape and form of community development has undergone many changes over the
years, and Neal Peirce, a journalist, has been following this issue for more than two decades. At
this plenary session Mr. Peirce will discuss the
changes in community development over time
and the results of these urban experiments. He
will also share his perspective on current trends
in community development and how they
attempt to address the complex and changing
needs of our cities.
Is it possible, in our age of instant and unremitting criticism, to have real heroes - sources of
inspiration in our public life? Has America
ever respected or sought the wisdom of its
elders? Could we wisely do so today? How
can community survive in an era of tribalism
and self-interest? Mr. Frohnmayer, Professional
Scholar at The Freedom Forum will ask hard
questions, suggest provocative answers, and
discuss some organizing principles to respond
to these community challenges.

comprehensive strategies for addressing the
problems of our communities. The panel will
discuss their views on the future of community

Today's children receive information using multiple senses ... visual, auditory and even "virtual"
reality. Does this technology change the very
way children process information? Their thinking and learning patterns? Their ability to relate

Collaboration II
Collaborations and Volunteerism
Rolls Royce, Second Level
Volunteerism is often the most creative response
to many of the human service challenges in
communities. From the arts councils to the food
banks and from the nature centers to the nursing homes, volunteers provide the unique
human resource and enthusiastic dedication
which communities might not otherwise be able
to support. The changes in family structure,
working environments, and demands on the
time of people, among other issues, are resulting
in a need for new approaches to fostering volunteerism. Many of the traditional approaches to
volunteer development may offer communities
the mechanism through which to best understand the changing conditions and build a volunteer system which will continue and improve
the creative response to community challenges
that volunteerism can provide. This session will
examine one community's response to this situation with the establishment of a microloan
enterprise program to support economic development among persons of color.

Global Investment Options
Regency A-B, Lobby Level- East
The dramatic decline in interest rates over the
last twelve years has resulted in a corresponding d ecline in the returns that can be expected
on foundation investments. If spending levels
are to be m aintained at anywhere near previous levels, and if assets are to retain their purchasing power, foundation investment policies
must be revised to produce increased expected
returns. Although such changes frequently
entail increases in investment risk, a global
diversification strategy can be used to reduce
the magnitude of the problem. This session
reviews the theoretical justification for the historical results of global diversification. It also
examines som e of the issues that should be
addressed by foundation trustees before initiating such a strategy.

development of foundations when they could
more easily and efficiently work with their local
community foundation. This session explores
how, when, and why to work with local units of
government and it provides examples of successful models of Michigan foundations collaborating
with their governments to serve the public good.

Matching a Donor's Charitable Interest to
Community Needs
Bugatti Royale, Second Level
Community foundations serve as a central
resource and catalyst for philanthropy within
their respective communities. Their leadership
and grantmaking roles are what give meaning
and value to such work. Serving donors and
making effective grants are two sides of the
same coin. By doing both well, the community
foundation thrives. In this session the speakers
share their extensive experience in working
with major donors and engaging their interests
in grantmaking. Learn how to effectively
marry a donor's charitable interest with emerging community needs.

Speaker: R. David Thomas, Sr. Chairman and
Founder, Wendy's International, Inc.,
Dublin, OH
Most people know "Dave" from his appearances on television commercials for Wendy's,
the worldwide chain of restaurants, which he
founded. Fewer people know about this out~
standing entrepreneur and philanthropist's
life and life-philosophy.
An orphan at birth, raised essentially by a single adoptive parent, he left school after the
tenth grade to find work, and was on his own
from age 15. The cards may have seemed
stacked against him. He didn't see it that way.
Karen Young
R. David Thomas
By age 35 he was a millionaire and today he
and his franchises employ over 130,000 people
in more than 30 countries and territories.
R. David Thomas is also head of the Dave
Thomas Foundation for Adoption, and
actively supports charities such as St. Jude's
Research Hospital, Recreation Unlimited, and
the Ohio State University Cancer Research
Institute, among others.
*
Recipient of the Horatio Alger Award,
"Dave" will share with the CMF audience his
experiences, outlooks, and his recipe for success. It is a rare chance to hear from a unique
individual and philanthropist.

Foundations and 35 other regional associations throughout the country.
ABOUT THE TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONFERENCE
As we revisit Detroit for CMF' s 22nd
Annual Conference on November 2-4, 1994
at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn, participants
will see the conference theme "The Magic of
Community" come alive. The Conference
Program Committee has assembled sessions
that set the scene for highly participatory
discussions on vital issues of interest to
grantmakers in and around Michigan.
An excellent cast of speakers includes
Mayor Dennis Archer, Neal Peirce, Dr.
Johnnetta Cole, Neal Shine and R. David
Thomas. New features this year include
mini-plenary breakfast sessions on
Thursday morning, to provide an opportunity to examine key issues that will be dis- .
cussed throughout the conference. Four
areas that will be explored in depth are
civil citizenship, children & families, community building, and collaboration. Other
topics include educational reform, information technology, media relations, legislative concerns, leadership development,
investment and management. Technical/
management sessions will be offered to
community foundations, corporate giving
foundations, and family foundations.
Your Conference Host Committee has
put together an array of interesting cultural,
community development, and educational
tours that parallel the key issues surrounding the conference. Special highlights
include an entertaining segment by Mitch
Alborn, guest appearances from talented
idols from the entertainment wodd, and an
evening at the Henry Ford Museum where
attendees will delight in an atmosphere of
fantasy, magic and mystery.
Foundation and corporate trustees,
officers, staff members, bankers, attorneys
and consultants, you'll find the 22nd
Annual Conference one of the most innovative and stimulating programs CMF has
ever presented.

Corporate Giving
How Can Giving Away Money Be Unethical?
Corporate grantmaking programs are subject to strong internal and external pressures which can influence grantmaking
decisions. Issues such as CEO interference,
need for visibility vs. doing the right thing,
customer pressures, declining budgets

use ethical principles in grantmaking?
How do corporate grantmakers respond to
these issues? Are there successful strategies to assure program integrity and the
satisfaction of the corporations'
stakeholders? These and other ethical
issues will be discussed in dialogue form
with participants.

all the various players together- new and
old, public and private - in order to
increase understanding, strengthen old
partnerships, initiate new ones, and develop more comprehensive strategies for
addressing the problems of our communities. The panel will discuss their views on
the future of community development, new
strategies for problem-solving, as well as

Michigan 's Juvenile Justice System: Who's
Got the Key?
Like many states, Michigan is looking for
creative, positive ways of dealing with the
growing problem of juvenile crime. A
number of projects are already in place,
but more needs to be done. Speakers for
this session will explore three major areas:
what are the issues facing this state's juvenile justice system (strengths, weaknesses,
road blocks, and opportunities); an example of one program already underway and
its results thus far; and finally, a new
national juvenile justice project whose
vision could have an impact on Michigan.
Collaboration I
Building a Successful Collaborative: Essential
Components
Public and private funders have played a
significant role in developing and encouraging collaboration as a means of improving
programs. Many foundations include a
funding preference for collaboratives,
encouraging non-profit organizations to
work together as a first step in the grant
seeking process. While most agree that collaboratives can help strengthen community
approaches to problems, key elements need
to be in place to insure success. This session
will provide a "nuts and bolts" seminar on
building a successful collaborative and
highlight the results of a national survey on
the conditions necessary for success.
Civil Citizenship I
Do Our Children Literally See the World
Differently?
'
Today's children receive information using
multiple senses ... visual, auditory and even
"virtual" reality. Does this technology
change the very way children process
information? Their thinking and learning
patterns? Their ability to relate to the
printed word, to traditional institutions
and modes of communication? If society is
built upon the intellectual and individual
constructs of people, what happens when
the system of thinking and construct formation changes? A fascinating exploration
of the impact of new technologies on the
next generation.
Legal and Accounting Issues Facing
Private and Community Foundations
This is your opportunity to find out about
the new legal issues surrounding the
acknowledgement of charitable contributions and the new accounting rules
imposed by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) .
Beginning with donations made in 1994,
donors must be able to substantiate the
value of any gift over $250 in order for the
contribution to be deductible for tax purposes. The specific legal requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code will be discussed, alerting you to potential problem
areas. Beginning in 1995, most foundations will have to comply with controversial new accounting and reporting rules
that apply to not-for-profit organizations
recently adopted by the FASB. This session is intended to clarify many of these
challenging issues and questions.

Volunteerism is often the most creative
response to many of the human service challenges in communities. From the arts councils to the food banks and from the nature
centers to the nursing homes, volunteers
provide the unique human resource and
enthusiastic dedication which communities
might not otherwise be able to support. The
changes in family structure, working environments, and demands on the time of people, among other issues, are resulting in a
need for new approaches to fostering volunteerism. Many of the traditional approaches
to volunteer development may offer communities the mechanism through which to
best understand the changing conditions
and build a volunteer system which will
continue and improve the creative response
to community challenges that volunteerism
can provide. This session will examine one .
community's response to this situation with
the establishment of an educational resource
center built on supporting volunteer needs

Where are the Securities Markets Headed?
Review of the current securities markets
and future expectations including a
description of the sectors which are likely
to benefit most over the next twelve
months. Hear the experts' predictions.
The New Philanthropists: The Impact of
Gender, Age and Race on Giving
An estimated 8 trillion dollars will be
inherited by a new generation of donors
over the next two decades. These new
philanthropists will be younger individuals with a greater number of women
among their ranks. As a result of such
demographic changes, this group may also
have different values and priorities in
terms of their giving patterns. A
researcher, along with representatives from
this new generation of donors, will give us
a glimpse into the future by discussing
how the views of the new philanthropists
compare with those of current donors.
�Corporate Giving
Community Foundations
United Way in a Competitive Environment:
Responding to Donor Demands for More
Choice and Control
Evaluating Community Foundation Grants
This session will provide national and local
perspectives on the challenges facing
United Way as a result of major changes in
the workplace and in society as a whole.
Over the past ten years, overall corporate
giving has grown twice as fast as donations
to United Way. And at the individual level,
United Way is concerned about its ability to
attract a new generation of donors. Local
United Way policies on designation and
donor choice vary dramatically, and the
"jury is out" as to whether looser restrictions are leading to increased giving.
How can you use evaluation to answer the
questions of key stakeholders? How do
you know if your foundation is building
healthy communities? How can evaluation
help you determine where you want to go?
How can you complete evaluations with
few resources? This interactive session,
presented by the evaluators who work with
the community foundations on the youth
project, will address your concerns regarding how to use evaluation to understand
the effects of your grantmaking.

Utilizing the Talents and Expertise
of Young People
Family Foundations II
Tending to Business
Talk with e-xperts about common administrative challenges, and discuss situational
experiences in small rotating groups at
four different "skills stations." Topics
include: conducting feasible evaluations;
calculating total portfolio return; accountability; and allocation alternatives.
Foundation Center Grants Classification
Workshop (2 3 I 4 hrs.)
The Grants Classification System is a new
way to manage information. It's a superb
method for coding your grants for your
foundation's use and for the field, as well
as a board development tool. Come and
learn how the process works.
Many times, as adults, we plan programs
and make funding decisions for youth,
without taking into consideration what
they want. Many foundations are now
considering engaging them as peer reviewers, program staff, and as board members.
We will examine how young people can be
involved in all levels of your program,
from participating and planning events
and activities, to making decisions about
the overall program. We will focus on
areas of decision making and discuss five
key components to address when supporting young people in this role: structure,
support, training, attitude, and behavior.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS
10:30 -11:45 A.M.
Investment Seminar II
Global Investment Options
The dramatic decline in interest rates over
the last twelve years has resulted in a corresponding decline in the returns that can
be expected on foundation investments. If
spending levels are to be maintained at
anywhere near previous levels, and if
assets are to retain their purchasing power,
foundation investment policies must be
revised to produce increased expected
returns. Although such changes frequently
entail increases in investment risk, a global
diversification strategy can be used to
reduce the magnitude of the problem. This
session reviews the theoretical justification
for the historical results of global diversification. It also examines some of the issues
that should be addressed by foundation
trustees before initiating such a strategy.
Enhancing the Leadership of
Non-Profit Executives:
A Look at Capacity-Building
*
\
18
)I
Non-profit is not synonymous with a lack
of leadership and management skills.
Many of these organizations are run efficiently and effectively, and with leadership
training and technical assistance. A panel
will discuss their experience with capacitybuilding in non-profit agencies and the
impact of these efforts. Representatives
will include a coordinator from an executive leadership training program, a nonprofit executive, and a £under currently
supporting capacity-building programs.
Family Foundations III
Prudent Man Theory of Investing
Discover how the changing interpretation
of "fiduciary responsibility" affects trustee
liability, investment policy, and asset allocation issues.
Conversation with Robert L. Payton
An opportunity to meet and talk informally with Bob Payton, former Executive
Director, Indiana University School of
Liberal Arts, and current Professor of
Philanthropic Studies.
Community Foundations
Partnering with Local Government
Governments and foundations both serve
the public good. Some governmental units
have been told that they cannot receive
foundation funding because they do not
have a 501c3 determination letter, (a fallacy). As a result, many townships, villages,
and cities are considering the development
of foundations when they could more easily and efficiently work with their local
community foundation. This session
explores how, when, and why to work with
local units of government and it provides
examples of successful models of Michigan
foundations collaborating with their governments to serve the public good.
Community Foundations
Matching a Donor's Charitable Interest to
Community Needs
Community foundations serve as a central
resource and catalyst for philanthropy
within their respective communities. The
�leadership and grantmaking roles are what
give meaning and value to such work.
Serving donors and making effective
grants are two sides of the same coin. By
doing both well, the community foundation thrives. In this session the speaker
shares his extensive expertence in working
with major donors and engaging their
interests in grantmaking. Learn how to
effectively marry a donor's charitable
interest with emerging community needs.
Donor's Platform
12:15 -1:45 p.m.
R. David Thomas. Most people know
"Dave" from his appearances on television commercials for Wendy's, the
worldwide chain of restaurants, which
he founded. Fewer people know about
this outstanding entrepreneur and philanthropist's life and life-philosophy.
An orphan at birth, raised essentially
by a single adoptive parent, he left
school after the tenth grade to find work,
and was on his own from age 15. The
cards may have seemed stacked against
him. He didn't see it that way. By age 35
he was a millionaire and today he and his
franchises employ over 130,000 people in
more than 30 countries and territories.
R. David Thomas is also head of the
Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption,
and actively supports charities such as
St. Jude's Research Hospital, Recreation
Unlimited, and the Ohio State University
Cancer Research Institute, among others.
Recipient of the Horatio Alger
Award, "Dave" will share with the CMF
R. David Thomas
audience his experiences, outlooks, and
his recipe for success. It is a rare chance
to hear from a unique individual and
philanthropist.

Progress Report
The Future Planning Committee has met twice (June 22, 1993 and September 3,
1993) since the last Board of Trustees meeting. The following information
summarizes activity to date . The February, 1994 Board of Trustees meeting
will include a major report from the Committee with a presentation from Alice
Buhl, consultant to the process. Also note that 1,000 copies of a members
survey were mailed October 28, 1993.
Critical Issues
1.
What is our mission and focus and how can we be clear about our
priorities?
2.
How can CMF provide services to an increasingly diverse set of members?
(Members have diverse program interests, individuals have a variety of
backgrounds and changing needs, o rganizations differ in their size, type
and capacity.)
3.
What is our role in promoting public understanding of the positive value
of giving?
4.
What should be the balance between our core services and our public role?
5.
How can CMF help its members learn from each other about good practices?
6.
What are the important diversity issues for CMF - diversity of members,
of staff, of board - and how might CMF deal with them?
7.
Should CMF take positions on social issues (as opposed to 1
philanthropic)?
(Need to clarify what we mean by social issues . )
8.
What will be the overall financing plan for the future? What should be
the relationship of member dues to core services? What should be the
role and what will be the potential impact of special project funds?
9.
How can CMF interact appropriately with allies and competitors such as
Council on Foundations, Independent Sector, and affinity groups?
10.
What is the CMF role in collaborative activities, including grantmaking?
11.
Is CMF positioned to reach out beyond current membership types and does
it want to?

POLICY OF ACTIVITY SPONSORSHIP
The Council of Michigan Foundations will only be recognized as a sponsor or
co-sponsor of meetings in which it has played a major organizational role.
To qualify for CMF sponsorship, an activity should comply with the following
guidelines:
The project should further the mission and purposes of CMF.
The project should enhance CMF's visibility with relevant audiences.
Unless special funds are sought to support the project, resources
expended on behalf of the project should be within routine budgetary
limits and in proportion to anticipated gains.
There should be reasonable assurance that potential risks have been
considered and found to be outweighed by potential benefits.
There should be reasonable assurance that the project represents the
highest standards of quality:
Has an identified purpose.
Presents organizations and materials of excellence.
Includes information of interest to grantmakers.
Is not a fundraising effort.
CMF's President will approve activities which comply with these
guidelines.
Adopted November, 1993

�COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) believes in an ethic of avoiding
situations in which a Trustee's or employee's business or personal interests
may unduly influence or show favoritism in its decision making process. CMF
depends upon a governing board whose members freely give of their time for the
benefit of the organization, and recognizes that because of the varied
interests and involvements of Board members this service may at certain times
result in situations involving real or apparent conflicts of interest.
Believing that service should not be rendered impossible solely by reason of
these conflicts, this matter shall be handled through full disclosure of any
such interests and noninvolvement in any decision wherein a conflict is
involved.
The foregoing requirements should not be construed as preventing a Trustee or
staff member from briefly stating his/her position in the matter, nor from
answering pertinent questions of other Board members since his/her knowledge
may be of great assistance.
Definitions:
There are two types of conflict of interest situations:
-Where a Trustee, staff member, or relative has a financial interest, or
appears to have a financial interest in a decision; and
-Where a Trustee, staff member, or relative has an affiliation or other
conflicts of loyalties that may lead to or suggest influence in a
decision, but no personal financial interest.
A.
Self-Dealing
A self-dealing situation is any transaction or decision from which
a Trustee or employee may profit or receive a monetary benefit.
It
includes prohibitions falling within the Internal Revenue Code
(generally Section 4941 IRC) and the Michigan Charitable Trustees
Powers Act (Section 14.275 MCLA.)
It also includes situations
where the Trustee or employee owns 35~ or more of 1) the voting
stock or 2) a partnership interest (profits and losses) or 3) a
financial or benefit interest in a corporation, partnership or
other organization that is involved in a CMF transaction.
B.
Conflict of Loyality
A conflict of interest exists when a person having input into a
decision could personally benefit, either directly or indirectly,
in the outcome of that decision.
A conflict of interest situation
is any transaction or decision in which a Trustee or employee finds
him or herself in a position of devided or conflicting loyalties.
An individual will be in a position of divided or conflicting
loyalities in any relationship which may significantly impact or
bias the Trustee's or employee's decision making ability. Relevant
factors in determining a conflict of interest situation include the
duration, strength and intimacy of a personal or business
relationship or affiliation, and the functions performed by the
individual. The question depends on the circumstances and is often
one of proximity and degree.
�Disclosure:
Trustees and staff members shall annually file a conflict of interest survey
with CMF's President disclosing any anticipated or possible conflict
situations. This list shall include current Board participation and any
for-profit ventures used by CMF in which a Board or staff member retains an
interest. Any Trustee or staff member having an anticipated or possible
conflict on any matter under consideration by CMF shall disclose that
situation and should not vote or use his/her personal influence on the
matter. The minutes of the meeting should reflect the abstention from voting.

EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT POLICY
Whenever an employee uses his/her personal automobile on behalf of the
Council of Michigan Foundations, reimbursement, at a rate currently
allowed by the IRS, will be made.
Other expenses incurred on behalf of
the Council of Michigan Foundations that have a legitimate business
purpose will be reimbursed to the employee. An Expense Report form must
be completed and submitted to the Administrative Director.
Expenses must be itemized and receipts attached. The business purpose
of the expense and the destination and number of miles traveled must be
submitted. Records submitted for reimbursement shall provide the
following information:
1. For air travel - a used ticket stub along with the travel
invoice.
2.
For Credit Card bills - all charge slips which verify the
charges on the bill.
3. For other reimbursements - all expense slips which verify
reimbursable expenses.
4.
For use of car phones for which CMF is billed - please submit a
10% reimbursement check to CMF for personal use of the car phone. This
reimbursement should accompany the phone bill following review and
approval for payment.
Semi-annually, the Administrative Director will review an expense report
of all staff members. The President will review the expense report of
the Administrative Director, and the President's Expense Report will be
reviewed by the Board Chair and Treasurer, or their Board Member
designate.
TRUSTEES
Trustees shall receive no compensation for their services, nor
reimbursement of expenses incurred by them as Trustees. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any member of the Board of Trustees may receive
reasonable compensation for professional services performed on CMF's
behalf in a capacity other than as Trustee and may be reimbursed for
expenses incurred in relation to such services, if such services are
determined by the Board of Trustees to be reasonably necessary to carry
out the purposes of the association.

employees will receive their normal compensation for
occasional absences due to illness. Excessive personal
time-off, however, is subject to disciplinary action up to and

Individual description of each request will be provided at the Board meeting

Background Statement:
The Council of Michigan Foundations is implementing a $35 million Michigan
Community Foundation Youth Project challenge grant from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation with support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. This
challenge grant began in 1991 and will be completed in 1998 (final challenges
are to be awarded by 1996; those foundations applying in the last round wil l
have until 1998 to raise the required matching funds.) The challenge builds
on a previous $2 million grant which started in 1988 and concluded in 1991.

The grant provides for $33 million to be given to community foundations
through grants from CMF. The other $2 million is provided over five years to
support of an array of technical assistance which includes scholarships and
mini-grants to eMF community foundation members. The challenge requires a $2
local permanently endowed unrestricted or field of interest gift for each $1
of the grant and will result in $99 million of new, permanent assets in the
State by the end of the challenge. Each community foundation is eligible to
apply for up to $1 million in aggregate. They may apply for a minimum of
$10,000 and they may reapply until they reach the maximum available. The
application is a strategic plan describing the goals of the foundation and how
the grant will help them accomplish their goals.
This program has five goals:
1.
to extend the reach of community foundation service so that every
donor and nonprofit in Michigan has access to a community
foundation,
2.
to build the permanent unrestricted and field of interest
(flexible) assets of the community foundation in order to
increase their capacity to meet local needs,
3.
to introduce young people to philanthropy through their
involvement with the community foundation by completing local
youth needs assessments, helping to raise matching grant funds,
and serving as permanent advisors to the community foundation for
the W.K. Kellogg Foundation youth funds,
4.
to make grants from the W.K. Kellogg youth funds which will help
to meet local youth needs, and
5.
to stimulate youth volunteerism on a statewide basis, once the
youth funds have been endowed within the community foundation.
A Youth Project Advisory Committee of CMF, chaired by John E. Marshall III,
reviews the challenge grant applications. This committee is composed of both
CMF Board members and knowledgable outside advisors, including two youth.
Four of the following challenge rounds have been approved; the fifth round is
proposed to the CMF Board for approval at this time:
Fall 1991:
$1,595,000
Spring 1992:
5,030,524

Re:
Information Systems Committee Report
The Michigan Foundation Directory
After one year of sales of the 8th edition of the Michigan Foundation
Directory, 1,942 directories have been sold with revenue totalling $52,325.
The "Update" is to be issued early November. A subcommittee of the Committee
will be meeting November 23, 1993 to discuss the implementation of the Grants
Classification System (26 subject categories) beginning with the 9th edition.
It was felt this is a necessary and prudent step, bringing the Michigan
Foundation Directory in line with other state and national directories, to
continue to meet the needs of grantmakers and grantseekers and make analyses
of foundation giving comparable.
The Michigan Scene
One year of the new format and design of the Michigan Scene has passed under
the guidance of Donnell Snite-Mersereau, Editor and with in-house desktopping
by Judy M. Carl, CMF Staff Associate. The new look has received rave
reviews.
In the near future, Ms. Mersereau will be recontacting Members to
solicit their opinions about the new content and format to ascertain if the
Michigan Scene is meeting their needs and to solicit suggestions.
Video Donor History Project
Four video tapes have been completed: Gerstacker, Lowe, Miller and Towsley.
Robert E. Hencey, Coordinator of the Donor History Project, was thanked for
his time and effort in bringing these remarkable and irreplaceable "moments of
philanthropic history" to fruition.
Dr. Bruce Kresge will be contacted to
help tell the story of the Kresge Foundation.
Principles and Practices
The "Principles and Practices for Effective Grantmaking" adopted by the
Council on Foundations was reviewed by the Information Systems Committee.
found the statements acceptable and perhaps useful for new grantmakers.
It
�Services to Nonprofits
The Committee reviewed materials from the Donors Forum of Chicago, our sister
RAG, on services they provide to grantseekers in the Metro Chicago area.
Staff will continue researching and will report back to the committee.
Delta College PBS Program
The program on foundations is nearly complete and will be aired November 12,
1993 at 10:00 p.m. on WUCM 19 from Delta College to their 8-county viewing
area.
An overview of how foundations work, the kinds of foundations in our
state, and what foundations are doing locally will be featured.
The format
will include an introduction from Dottie Johnson shot at the CMF office,
footage of interviews at the Frey Foundation to illustrate a family
foundation, and Focus: HOPE footage to show the scope of projects attainable
by pooling resources. The midpoint break will feature a piece on the Midland
Rails to Trails project.
In the second half of the program, viewers will be
invited to call in with their questions for a panel of local funders: Peggy
Rowley, Bay Area Community Foundation; Jim Jenkins, Dow Chemical Company; and
Norm Brown or Jack Mawdsley from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation are possible
responders. The project will be distributed to other Michigan PBS stations in
a package to include video inserts, script materials, local contact numbers
and videocassette that can be localized. We are pleased this project is
nearly in the can and will have a copy available for loan in the CMF Library.
Clipping Service
The "Clipping Service" ccntinues to be well-received with over 6900 clippings
sent to 218 private, community and corporate grantmaking Members.
History of Philanthropy in Michigan
Dr. Norman Brown (standing in for Joel Orosz) of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation
presented a paper on the history of philanthropy in Michigan on Saturday,
October 2, 1993 to the Members of the Michigan Historical Society at their
annual meeting in Grand Haven. CMF staff attended the presentation which will
be made available in bound format as well as video.
Scholarship Manual
The second edition of Establishing and Administering a Scholarship Program is
hot off the presses and available to CMF Members for the cost of $25,
Non-members, $40. New materials are featured along with a new format for ease
of use and duplication.
Book-Buying Service
Members are able to buy, at a 10-20~ discount, popular philanthropic books
published by the Foundation Center, Jossey-Bass and Giving USA. This service
was promoted through the September 10, 1993 "Memo to Members" and will
continue to be mentioned in future publications. As forms are returned to
CMF, orders are processed.
