We are happy you are here, joining friends and colleagues from Michigan's dynamic philanthropic community, for the Council of Michigan Foundations' 38th annual conference. During ovr two days together, we will learn from and be inspired by four exciting plenary speakers and dozens of outstanding presenters. Our theme, Nurturing Innovation, w ill be the focus of their remarks and our discussions on philanthropy's unique role in securing Michigan's future. Michigan foundations are poised to create an even greater impact as we work individually, together and in · partnership with the public, private and nonprofit sectors for the common good, bring together networks of people who care about our communities and take a long-term view of our state's unique prospects. > CMF's goal for the annual conference is to design an event that recognizes, honors and welcomes each of you an provides you with opportunities to reflect, refresh and network with peers; be exposed to the latest knowledge and issues facing philanthropy; and learn at least one new skill or resource that helps you be more effective. To get our creative juices flowing, we have invited graphic recorder Ronna Alexander, Alexander Ink, to captu re t e experiences and key ideas from the conference and to work with each of us to build an image of the future we are working to create for Michigan. In recognition of the extraordinary asset we have in our Great Lakes, CMF is pleased to co-host the Great Lakes Funders meeting immediately following the annual conference. During the conference, we encourage you to visit Resource Central where you can get the latest resources, learn more about CMF and its partners and talk with our exhibitors- all professionals with experience serving foundations. Many thanks to our sponsors and foundation supporters whose generosity has made it possible to offer an outstanding conference experience. Please join us in thanking them.

An intimidating range of forces-globalization , institutions alike have been striving to be more strategic, shifting sectoral roles, economic crisis, and ubiquitous efficient, and effective in a variety of ways. But it is clear connective technologies, to name just a few-are that the last decade's changes will not be sufficient. changing both what philanthropy is called upon to do The new context requires that funders adjust to the ways and how donors and foundations will accomplish their in which their actions are connected to others' actions, work in the future. in a dynamic interplay with external events, in order to Yet many of philanthropy's core practices and principles have a greater impact , faster. remain essentially unchanged from the way they were Where the cutting edge of philanthropic innovation done a hundred years ago, when Andrew Carnegie and over the last decade was mostly about improving John D. Rockefeller first created the foundation form. The world around philanthropy is changing much, much faster than philanthropy itself. organizational effectiveness, efficiency, and responsiveness, we believe that the next practices of the coming IO years will have to build on those efforts This is not to say that philanthropy hasn't responded to to include an additional focus on coordination and the shifting landscape. To the contrary. As the relevance adaptation. The most innovative funders in the future and role of philanthropy has become a more urgent will do more than operate as effective , independent question over the past decade, newer actors and older institutions. They will act BIGGER and adapt BETTER: YOU AND/ OR YOUR ORGANIZATION ACTING BIGGER TAKE SMART RISKS SHARE BY DEFAULT Given the scale and social complexity of the challenges they face, funders will increasingly look to other actors, both in phi lanthropy and across sectors, to activate sufficient resources to make sustainable progress on issues of shared concern. I UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT 2 PICK THE RIGHTTOOL(S) FORTHEJOB 3 4 ALIGN INDEPENDENT ACTION 5 LEVERAGE OTHERS' RESOURCES OPEN UPTO NEW INPUTS I0 9 8 KEEP PACE WITH CHANGE 7 KNOW WHAT WORKS 6 (AND WHAT DOESN'T) ADAPTING BETTER ACTIVATE NETWORKS Given the pace of change today, funders will need to get smarter faster, incorporating the best available data and knowledge about what is working and regularly adjusting what they do to add value amidst the dynamic circumstances we all face . THE OUTSIDE WORLD �NEXT PRACTICES FOR PHILANTHROPY'S NEXT DECADE Simply tweaking the status quo is not likely to be enough for philanthropic and civic leaders looking to cultivate change more effectively in a world that sorely needs it. Tomorrow' s most successful funders will do more than just adopt today' s best practices . They will have to pioneer "next practices" -new ways of working that fit the emerging landscape of public problem solving: ACTING U BIGGER UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT ADAPTING BETTER .-a KNOW WHAT WORKS (AND WHAT DOESN'T) Strong peripheral vision-seeing and developing a shared understanding of the system in which they operate-will be critical to helping funders build and coordinate resource s to address large , complex problems. . . . Effective funders will develop systems to learn from their successes, and their failures , in ways that can help everyonefunders and grantees alike-develop the judgment to guide and improve efforts in the future. RE-AMP, a collaborative of Midwestern foundations and non profits, developed a shared understand ing of the levers for achieving clean energy in the Midwest by mapping the system of relevant forces and players, helping to align the vision and coordinate the efforts of many independent stakeholders. THE WALLACE FOUNDATION is systematically testing and evaluating innovative educational and cultural programs around the United States, methodically sharing the results to broadly spread knowledge about effective approaches-with more than 200,000 report down loads a year. P...l PICK THE RIGHTTOOL(S) FORTHEJOB Funders have a wide range of assets-money , knowledge , networks , expertise , and influence-that can be applied deliberately to create social change. THE VERMONT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION is ensuring that its investment strategies complement its programmatic goals by offeri ng donors the option to invest money in local socially-responsible businesses, using its investment managers to vote by proxy, and co-filing activist shareholder resolutions. -~ ALIGN INDEPENDENT ACTION . . Philanthropies are developing new models for wo rking together that allow for both coordination and independence. Funders don't necessarily need to make decisions together , but they do need their efforts to add up. THE CLIMATEWORKS FOUNDATION has helped more than 10 funders and scores of other actors work in concert as part of a $1 billion coordinated global campaign to fight climate change by addressing global energy efficiency standards, forest conservation and agriculture, and low-carbon energy supply. -~ ACTIVATE NETWORKS -~ KEEP PACE WITH CHANGE As the speed of change accelerates around us , funders will need to build feedback l oops that help them change and shift behavior based on dynamic realities and l essons l earned in real time. THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION has replaced its long-standing, fixed ~~programs" with a set of interconnected, time-limite d "initiatives" that aim to allow the Foundation to quickly respond to unanticipated opportunities, to shift tacti cs wh en necessary, and to regularly reca librate its approach to fit external needs. 0 g OPEN UP TO NEW INPUTS New tools and approaches now allow funders to solicit points of view from diverse cultures and perspectives, to access new and wildcard ideas , and to get buy- in and engagement from stakeholders . THE CENTER FOR EFFECTIVE PHILANTHROPY'S YOUTHTRUTH initiative is measuring the success of school reform by soliciting feedback directly from high school students about the quality of their experience, providing valuab le input to foundation and d istrict leadership from voices that would normally not be heard . . . Advances in network theory and practice now allow funders to be more deliberate about supporting connectivity, coordinating networks, and thinking about how the collective impact of all of their efforts can produce change far beyond the success of any single grant , grantee , or donor. THE BARR FOUNDATION is building a stronger network of afterschool service providers for Boston youth by supporting "network weavers" who facilitate relationship building, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among service providers and community leaders. - LEVERAGE OTHERS' RESOURCES . . Funders can use their independent resources as levers to catalyze much larger streams of funding and activity from other sources by stimul ating markets , influencing public opinion and policy , and activating new players and assets. THE CLINTON HEALTH ACCESS INITIATIVE is working to aggregate demand, improve efficiencies, and reduce volatility in the market for AIDS drugs in an effort to provide medicine affordably in Africa and the Caribbean.

It makes sense to start from a place of sharing everything and then make a few exceptions, rather than a place of sharing little where transparency is the exception. ASHOKA'S CHANGEMAKERS competition "open sources" proposals by placing them on a public messageboard , allowing the community of participants to not only choose their favorites but also to strengthen all of the contestants' ideas and build awareness of them in the field . ~ TAKE SMART RISKS The most effective funders will recognize when innovation is necessary, and will be willing to make high-risk, high - reward bets that have the potential to create transformative change . THE HEINZ ENDOWMENTS, the Grable Foundation, and the Pittsburgh Foundation took the risk of abruptly and publicly cutting funding to the city's failing school district in order to spark the public engagement necessary for reform . �Council of Michigan Foundations Serving grantmakers.

A series of town hall discussions and focus groups were held to assess the readiness of our community to take advantage of the wonderful opportunity that retiring Baby Boomers represent. Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community needs - Matching advised funds with community needs. Involvement in community planning for the future - Extensive staff involvement in Ann Arbor Region Success Plan, a public-private partnership. Involvement in community planning for the future - Our Community Foundation has been very active in the Hometown Competitiveness initiative (which we call HTP - Hometown Partnership). The four pillars have been active since the leadership of our Community Foundation brought this to Barry County. We believe that it is best to prepare Barry County for the future, and not wait and hope for the government to take care of our residents. Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community needs - We leveraged our funding with State matching dollars at a 1 to 1.33 match to assist the Family Health Center with their expansion in meeting our community needs. We also have worked throughout the year leveraging our dollars with other funders in our community such as the United Way in meeting community needs in this very demanding economy. In addition, we have convened and leveraged dollars with other local funders in an attempt to bring Federal Stimulus Funding to our community. Developing community leaders - 1. BACF was involved in convening more than 120 nonprofit professional for a town hall meeting that identified three barriers that nonprofit organizations face in their efforts in playing an active role in strengthening Michigan's economy on a regional level. 2. BACF joined the United Way in presenting information to the Bay County Leadership class concerning the role of community members on nonprofit boards. Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community needs – We collaborate with other major funders to leverage donor dollars. Involvement in community planning for the future - HomeTown Competitiveness Involvement in community planning for the future - Working with Chamber to establish a Strategic Plan for Cadillac area. Community Foundations Annual Survey 2009 Report to the Field 14 �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS Annual Survey - 2009 Community Leadership Capital Region Community Foundation Charlevoix County Community Foundation Community Foundation for Muskegon County Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community needs - The Capital Region Community Foundation is a lead member of the Power of We Consortium's Investors Steering Committee and is participating in the 4th year of a local nonprofit capacity building effort which leverages Federal and local funds and has provided capacity grants, technical assistance, and training to over 75 local nonprofits. Convener for community discussions - The Natural Resources Collaboration Forum. The community natural resource collaboration forum of April 16, 2009 was initiated and co-sponsored by the Charlevoix County Community Foundation and the Petoskey Harbor-Springs Area Community Foundation in order to further community dialogue on how best to move forward together to address current and future natural resource protection issues. A broad range of community non-profit stakeholders was invited to the forum--with 22 attendees from 15 organizations. The community conversation among the attendees was congenial, focused and motivated by the calling that preserving our rich natural resource base is vital to the quality of life we enjoy as residents of northern Michigan. The conclusions of the conversation were that, especially in these difficult economic times the many efforts of a diverse population of knowledgeable and committed staff and volunteers continue to drive the mission of protecting our natural places upon which our local tourism economy is based. In addition, it was concluded that local nonprofit collaboration to this end was strong, and could be made even stronger yet. A list of possible tools for advancing increased collaboration was created at the forum’s end. Spotting or anticipating problems and acting to prevent them - The Foundation has been working with local school districts and colleges to raise the bar on education for many years. Starting in the early 90s, the Foundation adopted a 5th grade classroom of an inner city school and promised payment of college tuition and fees upon graduation. That program has evolved into other programs over the years and most recently has put the foundation in discussions with community partners about the Graduation Generation and the College Access Network. Convener for community discussions - CFNEM has convened meetings to discuss how the organizations of northeast Michigan may be able to work together to meet the needs of children at risk. We hope to convene meetings all over northeast Michigan and then submit an application for funding from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to help meet the identified needs. Community Foundations Annual Survey 2009 Report to the Field 15 �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS Annual Survey - 2009 Community Leadership Community Foundation of Greater Flint Community Foundation of Monroe County Community Foundation of St. Clair County Community Foundation of the Upper Peninsula Four County Community Foundation Fremont Area Community Foundation Grand Haven Area Community Foundation Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community needs - Michigan Prisoner Re-entry Initiative (MPRI) - The mission of MPRI is to reduce crime and enhance public safety by implementing a seamless system of services for offenders from their entry into a prison through their transition back to their community. CFGF, working in partnership with our local land bank and workforce development agencies, has provided funding for training and program coordination that has led to the development of a two-year initiative in which a minimum of 70 re-entering prisoners will be employed to renovate local properties held by our land bank. This $40,000 grant will leverage more than $3 million over the course of two years. Serving as a neutral partner, bringing diverse groups together to solve common problems - Bringing together Realtors, MCOP and Network on Homelessness to form a newly created Homelessness fund to better impact the community and serve those that fall through the cracks. Convener for community discussions - The Community Foundation of St. Clair County was a convener for our community on a number of vital issues, including: 1. Accessibility/universal design 2. Education (includes a host of topics such as "promise programs", student housing and changing the "college-going" culture) 3. Downtown development 4. Tourism 5. Small business support 6. Public art 7. Need for collaboration between for profit and non profit corporations/organizations/businesses Providing technical assistance to nonprofits - The foundation's FIMS Hub provides administrative support to nine affiliate foundations and six independent community foundations throughout Michigan and Wisconsin. This service has saved these entities thousands of dollars in operational costs, while receiving the benefit of using FIMS for their financial, donor, gift and grant management. It also allows their limited staff more time to further the work of their foundation and increase their endowments. Responding to community emergencies - Our grantmaking priorities have been to provide basic and emergency needs funding to non-profits in our area. The local economic climate has resulted in many new families seeking assistance. Convener for community discussions - In our role as a neutral convener, we restarted an effort to get 2-1-1 in Newaygo County and bring together three other counties so we could move forward as a region. Responding to community emergencies - The Grand Haven Area Community Foundation (GHACF) has developed a special short-term “Families in Crisis” Grant Program to assist nonprofit agencies in their efforts to build their organization’s capacity and effectiveness to better meet the basic needs of Northern Ottawa County residents. To date over $100,000 has been granted from the Families in Crisis initiative. In addition, GHACF leadership has convened regular meetings of the "safety net" organizations in an effort to identify critical needs, gaps, and coordinate response to families in the Tri-Cities.

The Community Foundation also convened groups around issues such as college participation, neighborhood news bureaus, experienced adults as a nonprofit resource and ex-offender reentry. Developing community leaders - Executive Director served on the Planning Committee for the Leadership Gratiot project inspiring new and emerging leaders serving Gratiot County. Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community needs - We helped develop a partnership between a private foundation and a second community foundation in our county to match federal funds for a countywide dental clinic expansion that serves Medicaid clients. Convener for community discussions Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community needs - The Community Foundation, local schools, and local Institutions of Higher Education have partnered to assist students in achieving improved student success. This program is called the Jackson Legacy Program which is helping students “know why to go and get ready to go”; supports residents in “knowing how to go” through provision of college access supports, and giving prospective students “the means to go” through scholarships. Scholarships are awarded to qualifying students planning to attend Baker College of Jackson, Jackson Community College, or Spring Arbor University. The Jackson Community Foundation awarded $738,083 in Legacy Scholarships and leveraged approximately an additional $647,000 in aid for students. The students were required to perform community service as a requirement of the award, in the first year over 21,000 hours were logged which value over $500,000 in donated time. Providing technical assistance to nonprofits - The Kalamazoo Community Foundation, in partnership with a private foundation and other supporters, established a Management Support Organization (MSO) to expand the capacities of nonprofit organizations and the nonprofit sector throughout Kalamazoo county. The MSO uses a variety of methods to assist nonprofits to increase their understanding of the sector, legal and other requirements, standards of operation, effective and best practices, and otherwise increase the efficiency and effectiveness of human service organizations. The entity is hosted by the Kalamazoo Public Library and involves other local leadership and funding partners in setting direction and providing support.

Convener for community discussions - With the installation of a waste water treatment system in Northport the LTCF organized and directed meetings and forums to create a sustainable coastal community. After workshops, assistance from the MSU Landscape Architect program, and a professional planning firm, a plan called Future by Design was completed. Providing technical assistance to nonprofits - On an ongoing basis oneon-one assistance was provided to local nonprofits, especially those with new Executive Directors. Also, assistance was provided to nonprofit boards. Examples are providing advice and policy samples to Executive Directors, as well as providing a Fearless Fundraising workshop for boards. Providing technical assistance to nonprofits - The Foundation hosted free seminars for non-profits on various topics that would be beneficial to them. The Foundation brought in outside speakers who talked about fundraising, endowment building, grant writing, etc. Over 50 different local non-profits attended the seminars. Responding to community emergencies - We have several "Rainy Day" type funds that provide assistance when an emergency arises. Developing community leaders - The Marquette County Community Foundation has redoubled its role in terms of developing future leaders through the Youth Advisory Councils. We have undertaken an innovative service learning curriculum designed to concretize academic lessons through service activities and reflection upon those activities. Additionally, we have added a mini-masterpiece to the curriculum designed to give the YAC members additional skills that will help them enhance their role as a leader, philanthropist and service provider. Convener for community discussions - We organized, invited and hosted representatives from area communities to discuss the common benefit of pursuing activities related to the US-12 Heritage Route, a road common to all participants. Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community needs - We provided $20,000 of a $2.2 million project to meet the needs of a special population within the community. Spotting or anticipating problems and acting to prevent them – A lot of organizations and agencies that traditionally rely on financial support from downstate (public and private) have been cut off. We saw this coming mid-winter, alerted our donors and were able to support many of these groups without touching underwater Funds.

We are working with high schools, alternative education, COOR ISD and community colleges to support an alternative path to a high school diploma. We will also be working with local employers to establish employment opportunities and possible apprenticeship programs. Michigan Works of Roscommon County will research the "need" for workforce development and also with economic development to identify potential manufacturers/employers that are looking to locate in rural Michigan. RCCF is forming a steering committee that will further and expand and solidify this concept. Serving as a neutral partner, bringing diverse groups together to solve common problems - Over the past year the Foundation has acted and will continue to act as the fiduciary for a collaborative body called the Alignment Saginaw. This body is made up of a diverse group of community leaders and organizations addressing the top priorities of our community. Spotting or anticipating problems and acting to prevent them - Our YAC members do a need assessment of our community annually. After defining where problems are in the community, they provide either grants or volunteer assistance to various organizations. Developing community leaders - Established and implemented a youth trustee program for inclusion on board of trustees of the Foundation. Also re-vamped major committees of the Foundation to broaden our community base and expose additional community members to the work of the CF. Catalyst for needed change - The CF of the Holland/Zeeland Area launched the implementation phase of its Ready for School initiative in 2008. This effort to address early childhood education grew out of our 2007 Community Forum in which emerging strategic issues were identified by a diverse group of community organizations and individuals. Ready for School integrates civic, school, health, nonprofit, corporate and faith-based efforts to ensure that every child in the Holland/Zeeland area enters kindergarten prepared to succeed. Testing of the 2008 incoming Kindergarten class along with parent surveys has provided Ready for School with critical baseline data for identifying who is in greatest need of additional support, common barriers to quality care, and geographic areas where the greatest impact can be made. Ready for School is working to increase the number of local children who are prepared to learn when entering kindergarten by engaging and supporting parents and informal caregivers, enhancing the quality of existing early care and education programming, and addressing barriers to access by increasing availability/affordability of early care and education programming.

The main focus of this project is to give teens a place to go after school, where they can interact without being constantly quieted by the Library staff. Teens could use the computers to research materials for school, type papers and also to have fun with each other in a learning environment. Future goals would include using the computers for gaming tournaments, literacy initiatives, tutoring, GED practice, and computer classes. In order to accomplish this we will conduct the following activities: hire a supervisor to oversee teen use of the Activity Room, purchase the equipment needed, set up the equipment and evaluate the project. Convene a group of Allegan County food providers to improve effectiveness, efficiencies, networking and collaboration. Food Gatherers $92,000 To launch a smart, fast and sustainable plan to get more healthy food to extremely low income people in Washtenaw County.

With 23,000 uninsured in Calhoun County at any point in time, and an estimated 34,500 people being uninsured at some point throughout the year, even with the best efforts of the Emergency Departments, the Family Health Center (FHC) and Free Clinics to see them, there are an estimated 21,000 people who lack access to health care. In addition, there are 27,000 Medicaid beneficiaries in Calhoun County, and half of them are seen by the FHC. For dental, there is an estimated need of 11,750 urgent care visits per year. Current capacity (FHC, Dentists’ Partnership, free clinics, and senior millage) is 9,790, leaving an unmet need of 1,960 urgent care visits. In addition, there are an estimated 68,000 uninsured and Medicaid dental patients who need access to preventive services. There is a need to serve the uninsured and Medicaid population with additional primary care and dental capacity. The expansion of the Family Health Center will assist our community economically and with school readiness for children. There will be State Matching dollars of 1-1.33 to BCCF Funding and any other non-governmental funding.

This grant helped Beginnings purchase additional curriculum modules for the Earning & Learning Program and the purchase and distribution of professionally-made brochures, to further promote the program. Building construction for new YMCA. The Capital Region Community Foundation's first annual $75,000 "Impact Grant," requiring a one-to-one cash match and designed to address service gaps, was awarded to the Listening Ear Crisis Center in East Lansing. The project is to develop the Capital Area Sexual Assault Center (CASAC), a 24 hour, community based, comprehensive center where sexual assault victims will receive medical forensic examinations, counseling and advocacy services immediately after an assault. The clinic will be in a highly visible location on Michigan Avenue in Lansing. 21 �Michigan Community Foundations – Examples of the single grant distributed through the past fiscal year with the most impact on each community Charlevoix County Community Foundation Lake Charlevoix Association $5,385 Community Foundation for Muskegon County Community Foundation for Muskegon County/Downtown Sculpture Fund $200,000 Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan Park Family Foundation $2,838,470 Community Foundation of Greater Flint Genesee Chamber Foundation $40,000 Community Foundations Annual Survey 2009 Report to the Field Lake Charlevoix's shoreline is in danger of being overrun by an invasive grass, Phragmites australis, that is rapidly spreading both below and above the water line and driving out native species. The part of the plant that grows above the water line has the ability to reach upwards of 15 feet tall, thus obstructing views of the lake. The Lake Charlevoix Association is working on an ambitious program to eradicate phragmites around the entire lake. The work includes a multi-year plan for herbicide application and a program to educate riparian owners and other lake residents regarding their role in successful eradication of the plant. Government permits for herbicide application were obtained and will be coordinated on a lake-wide basis. Partners in this program are: Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council; the Charlevoix County Soil Conservation District; the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians; Charlevoix Township and other Lake Charlevoix Townships. Program components include: plant inventory; development of educational materials; making information available to property owners and the general public; conducting workshops for information and training volunteers; working with state and local governments on a common approach; and program evaluation. In 2005, the visioning process for Imagine Muskegon identified Muskegon's historic and cultural center as the corner of Third Street and Western Avenue. That corner is now the setting for sculptor Richard Hunt's "Muskegon, Together Rising". Inspired by spirit and history, vision and aspiration, this soaring stainless steel structure rises solidly from the earth and shore, gleaming in light and reaching with flames, arms and wings into the sky. This sculpture was installed in 2008 with support from the Community Foundation for Muskegon County, Alcoa Foundation, Charles E. and Patricia B. Johnson Fund, Robert D. and C. Corcoran Tuttle Family Fund and the Cool Cities Fund. We had taken ownership of our community's recreation center a couple of years ago to protect it from being sold and possibly losing this wonderful asset for community recreation. In our 2008 fiscal year we had the opportunity to transfer ownership of this recreation center to a newly created local family foundation whose main focus is recreation in the Alpena area. This transfer ensured that this beautiful facility will continue to be used for recreation for the community for a very long time. Definitely a win - win situation! The Genesee County Summer Youth Initiative is a community approach to training, nurturing, and getting youth ready for employment. Participants receive formal job training, and attend orientation sessions and job fairs to learn the basics of becoming a good employee. This grant is co-sponsored by a number of local funders and the program employs more than 400 youth during the summer months. 22 �Michigan Community Foundations – Examples of the single grant distributed through the past fiscal year with the most impact on each community Community Foundation of Monroe County Community Foundation of St. Clair County The Salvation Army $1,221 Funds to support a Winter Warming Shelter in extreme weather conditions. College Access Office $21,533 Community Foundation of the Upper Peninsula City of Gladstone $125,933 Four County Community Foundation Fremont Area Community Foundation Samaritan House $10,000 City of Fremont $525,000 This grant established the College Access Office at Port Huron High School. The College Access Office is a resource center that serves as the hub for students to achieve success beyond high school. The office is staffed by a part-time Coordinator who assists students and families with college preparation and admission, financial aid, career exploration and scholarship applications. From January - June, 2009 the College Access Coordinator met with nearly 250 students and parents. The results from this pilot program were very positive. The rate of Port Huron High (PHH) graduates who will attend a college or university has increased by 36% over the previous year (from 45% to 61.2% of graduates). Additionally, the rate of PHH graduates enrolling at St. Clair County Community College has dramatically increased, benefiting not only the students but our entire community. In addition to increasing the number of students attending college, there was also an increase in the amount of financial aid and scholarship money utilized. Specifically, there was a large increase in the number of students receiving dollars through the Michigan Tuition Incentive Program. This under-utilized pool of funds pays for the complete cost of an associate’s degree and a portion of a bachelor’s degree for qualifying families. During the 2009-2010 school year the College Access Office at PHH will expand the scope of services offered to continue to increase the rate of graduates who attend college. Given the success of the pilot, the Community Foundation of St. Clair County is working with funding partners to replicate this program throughout the county. In 2009-2010 we hope to establish a College Access Office in Algonac to provide similar services. Distribution from designated fund that enables many recreational and city improvements to be made. It also benefits the annual 4th of July celebrations, which are the best in the county. The improvements have helped the city to attract more tourists, which is vital to the well-being of the area businesses. The grant was for food for the food pantry which serves low income families with food and basic supplies like diapers and paper products. The demand for services is up in our area including many first time applicants. This grant provides funds for economic development projects related to job creation and retention. The majority of the funding provided leverage for the creation of an Agricultural Renaissance Zone in Fremont and an increased presence for Gerber Products/Nestle.

Community Foundations Annual Survey 2009 Report to the Field This grant helped to expand housing counseling services (Pre-Purchase Counseling, Financial Literacy, Post Purchase Counseling and Foreclosure Prevention) for residents of Ottawa County. Grand Rapids Community Foundation provided funding and coordinated the effort to respond to escalating community need for essential services such as housing, food, utilities, and transportation by creating a temporary, flexible pool of funds supported by sixteen area funders. The Fund has been a resource for nonprofit organizations struggling to meet the needs of families in Kent County and avoided duplication of existing community initiatives, while encouraging collaboration and reform of local system infrastructure. The Fund also leveraged the collective resources of a variety of local funders and created new alliances. Grand Rapids Community Foundation provided staff support and the Essential Needs Task Force provided decision-making expertise. Youth from across the nation volunteered their time to improve the housing conditions of low income residents of the St. Louis community. 24 �Michigan Community Foundations – Examples of the single grant distributed through the past fiscal year with the most impact on each community Kalamazoo Community Foundation Hispanic American Council $50,000 Keweenaw Community Foundation Leelanau Township Community Foundation Lenawee Community Foundation M & M Area Community Foundation Mackinac Island Community Foundation Little Brothers-Friends of the Elderly $5,911 Northport Leelanau Township Utilities Authority $111,900 To install hook-up installation to new village waste-water treatment system YMCA $2,500 Menominee County Intermediate School District $2,500 Mackinac Island Medical Center $52,000 This grant enabled our YMCA to open the Broadstreet Learning Center for Infants and Toddlers by providing the furnishings needed - a washer & dryer, rocking chairs, and other equipment.

The goal of the project is to provide books to children prior to entering school. The child receives one free book per month. Grant is a designated disbursement that provides needed funds to assist our Medical Center's continued operation Community Foundations Annual Survey 2009 Report to the Field The Hispanic American Council had been without an Executive Director since June 2007. The board worked hard to manage the organization and raise funds to hire a permanent executive and pay that person an executive salary. Each year that passed without a competent executive in place severely limited opportunities to provide the number and quality of programs and services the Hispanic community needed. Partially funding the executive director position for two years strengthened the organization and improved collaboration with funders and other service providers, state and national Hispanic organizations, political leaders and diverse Hispanic communities. The new executive is building the Council's capacity to generate funding through understanding community needs, strengths and creating a fund development system; determining and providing other agencies with information about the service needs of Hispanic communities and has made collaboration the primary method of providing services. The Council's role has become one of helping the community’s service providers and funders develop the cultural competencies required to effectively serve the Hispanic community and meet their needs--as opposed to minimally meeting the needs of the cooperating service provider to meet affirmative action goals. The new executive has improved the internal and external information and reporting systems, and is exerting quiet, competent, visionary leadership to the community as a whole.

This is still ongoing, but progress to date is promising. The Arnold center has outgrown its existing building. The Arnold Center is in the need of 14,500 additional square feet. This addition will be a visual inspiration and example of how one building can provide multiple social benefits to the community. A small grant, but enough. Funding for the agency had been slashed. The "Bigs in School" mentoring program was out of funds. They were able to hang on until a media campaign could be organized for community support of the program. Our community came through! Otsego County has a high rate of single parent and dysfunctional families (mostly immigrants). The "Bigs in School" mentoring program is one of the strongest programs we have to help the youth who come from these segments of the population. The Health Department was the lead agency in collaboration with area medical providers to increase access to Medicaid and uninsured clients in Emmet County. The $10,000 Community Foundation grant leveraged an additional $24,482 for a total of $34,482 towards the cost of startup equipment for the clinic. A family foundation that we often collaborate with contributed and leveraged the same amount, so those donations plus the federal matches will amount to approximately $68,000. When the Clinic opened to the public in late July there were already appointments scheduled. "Stock the Shelves" project. With the high number of people who are receiving or have depleted unemployment benefits, there are more people utilizing the food pantry than ever before. The average monthly food output is $2400 and it requires stocking the shelves much more often. Covenant Health Care – The hospital wanted to build a new home away from home for out of town families of patients at the hospital. At the time of the proposal there was the Hospital Hospitality House which was not on the campus of the hospital and it was an older facility. The hospital wanted to provide these families with a more welcoming atmosphere right on the hospital campus. Since this grant has been awarded, the McNally house has served 2,928 people. SCF awarded 39 grants totaling $17,950 from our scholarship funds. At this time, most of our funds are for scholarships only. 26 �Michigan Community Foundations – Examples of the single grant distributed through the past fiscal year with the most impact on each community Sturgis Area Community Foundation Sturgis Public Schools $15,000 The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area Grand Rapids Community College’s Midtown Campus $25,000 Tuscola County Community Foundation Tuscola County Fair Association $10,000 Community Foundations Annual Survey 2009 Report to the Field This was a start up grant for a comprehensive after school program for all area middle school age students.

The program serves over 6,000 boys and girls (the gender component of the organization’s name is irrelevant boys AND girls play sports, and both genders are represented on the board) and is the largest youth recreation program in the state of Michigan. The WPMC was approached by the YMCA regarding the rental of the multisports complex that is currently underutilized. The cost associated with this rental is substantially less than the operational expenses that would be incurred for the current facility that is not easily accessible for a large population of inner city youth. Funding this transition would expand access in the community and be an operational expense answer for two organizations. The BCCF YAC was the lead funding committee on this project, with their recommendation encouraging other BCCF review committees and funders to follow suit. BCCF encouraged collaboration between these two health and recreation programmers and assisted in brokering a partnership that provides synergistic programming, instead of competing opportunities. The result is increased opportunities for area youth to engage in healthy physical fitness activities. The Essexville Hampton schools was awarded funding in the amount of $3,200 for the project "Crossing Boundaries", which is an existing and successful program initiated in California. The goal of this program is to increase student acceptance of each other within the high school and the community. Other Bay County schools are interested in partnering to provide "Crossing Boundaries" to their students. Essexville has forwarded all needed information pertaining to this project to all area middle and high schools. This grant supported a Senior Health Fair for high school seniors. The event served over 250 senior students and provided presentations, displays, and information on many issues affecting students going out into the world of college, or to work.

The Substance Abuse Free Environment in Northern Michigan (SAFE in NM) Youth Advisory Group is made up of high school students from schools in Charlevoix County. The students spend time learning about substance abuse and its effects, advising on best strategies for reaching youth, and conducting their own activities to bring awareness to their peers. SAFE in NM youth worked on a number of awareness projects including: Project Sticker Shock, SAFE Homecoming and Prom initiatives, Alcohol in G-rated Movie Night, Life at its Best - Add Nothing - Media Campaign, Parents who Host Lose the Most, and other activities that involved sharing information with their peers, parents, and the community. Through all of these projects, SAFE in NM youth have made a big impact in their community. SAFE youth continue to come up with ideas for projects to encourage their peers to be drug and alcohol free. The youth also continue to reach out to the community with projects that promote awareness and education of youth substance abuse prevention. Many of these projects will continue to take place in the coming year.

The focus is on eliminating animal abuse, which can lead to child abuse and domestic violence. In addition to teaching respect for the animals, the program provides a basic safety course for elementary age children, teaching them how to avoid conflict with potentially dangerous cats and dogs. The YAC co-granted with our adult distribution committee to our area food pantries to provide better access to healthy foods and staple products. This grant was in direct response to our Foundation's goal of granting to greatest needs projects. This grant to the Junior Achievement of Southeastern Michigan was the first grant that the Youth Advisory Committee reviewed for the year and it served as a perfect introduction for the YAC members since the intent of the grant was for young people to consider the importance of charitable giving and the concept of philanthropy in their budgeting. JA teaches financial skills to young people through an interactive classroom curriculum, complemented by an all day “mock life” experience at the Financial Park wherein students are given an annual budget and have to make choices about selecting services that fit within their budget. This grant supported the development of a “Making a Difference” storefront where students were able to select and support causes that were important to them, and was complemented by Learning to Give curriculum that was incorporated into the JA classroom curriculum. The curriculum and the Financial Park reach thousands of children every year. The members gave a grant that would raise funds for fully stuffed backpacks to youths that were deemed below the poverty line in grades 1-5. This grant involved helping to create access for youth to local playgrounds & other community recreation locations with modifications to assist those in wheelchairs.

The program provided books to youth and adults throughout Hillsdale County and provided for programming to accompany the book discussions. The book, "The Glass Castle," by Jeannette Walls, is a memoir about a family growing up in poverty. To aid in encouraging awareness of poverty, various community groups collected items for local food pantries and service agencies and participated in a castle-building contest. All items were then donated to various agencies. The HCCF YOUTH collected items and participated in the contest as well. The grant also provided funding for a money management program, poverty speaker, and a movie night. School based health program for grades K-12. Funds were used to provide counseling services to at-risk families as well as homelessness awareness activities. The overall goal of this project is that young children in Ionia County will show an increased interest in reading and will be read to more frequently. This grant was for a Public Safety Appreciation and Community Involvement day. Over 300 people (from a small, rural community) attended the day-long event where there were fun activities, a barbeque, and local law enforcement had the chance to give safety information to area youth, as well as spend time with the kids just having fun. The event was planned by a group of 20 criminal justice students, who received help from other youth groups at their school. $2,000 was also raised that day to support the community. Youth participants at Douglass Community Association (community center in low-income sector of Kalamazoo) requested increased hours of Planned Parenthood satellite office. The teens wanted the office to be open a little later each day and on Saturdays - more convenient for their schedules. This request fit well with YUW's priority of Teen Sexuality as well as the group appreciating PPSCM responding to teens advocating for themselves!

This program will challenge students to think about drinking, their personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature life-long decisions concerning alcohol use. To provide a dance instructor for interested students. 16 youth participated, plus 4-6 adults. The outcome was several performances and a desire to continue the program this year. Although the amount of this grant is small, it helped leverage matching funds from the National Salvation Army that will be used here locally in Manistee County. It will help youth and their families that are considered "newly poor" afford food and utility services that are currently out of reach. The YAC allocated $2,000 to support the youth cross country ski race and $1,000 in scholarships for young people who can not afford skis, lessons and racing fees. For these young people these expenses were taken care of and they were able to participate in the race. The YAC was also able to provide service prior to and during the event itself as well as spearhead media for the race including radio, television, print and web based media. The YAC, none of whom are cross country skiers, also had the opportunity to experience cross country skiing and experience first hand how physically demanding the sport is. Support for this project was based on several community needs including: expanding access to opportunities for all youth, health and fitness, and a positive way to combat seasonal affective disorder as Marquette County experiences high rates of this in our youth population. The YAC also realized that the event is a positive economic development activity for our community. Although this grant is certainly not the largest, it may have made one of the most significant impacts of this year's YAC grantmaking. For several years our community was involved in a very controversial issue focused on the high school mascot--the Redskins. Many supported changing the mascot to a more ethnically respectable name. Others believed that the mascot held a long-respected tradition. Eventually the mascot was changed to the Redhawks. The YACers funded a grant to provide replacement banners for the high school gym carrying the Redhawk insignia. "Get Fit, Get Healthy" to promote healthy habits and a life long appreciation for exercise and well being. This grant targeted 100 girls aged 5-15. Held at several locations in Mecosta County with Ferris State University and Big Rapids Recreation Department as partners in the project. Learned how to exercise safely, walking, biking, sports, swimming and how to use appropriate equipment. 43 �YAC 2009 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Michigan Gateway Community Foundation Public Service Announcement $2,000 Midland Area Community Foundation Midland County's Public Schools $200 per school Midland Area Community Foundation – Gladwin YAC Mid Michigan Big Brother Big Sister $350 Negaunee Area Community Fund Cedar Tree Institute $1,000 North Central Michigan Community Foundation Crawford County Family Court $500 Norway Area Community Fund Norway Vulcan Elementary School $990 Osceola County Community Foundation Reed City Area Schools, Evart Schools, Marion Schools and Pine River Area Schools OSCD Conservation Day Camp $1,200 Otsego County Community Foundation YAC 2009 Annual Survey Report to the Field $438 We received $1000 from MCFYP as a matching grant and produced a PSA that aired at our local movie theatre and in schools this past spring talking about the issues with drinking at post party celebrations. MCYAC was awarded a matching grant from MCFYP which allowed the youth to host a county-wide alcohol prevention conference for youth. After the conference, each school was awarded $200 to replicate elements from the conference or to create their own alcoholprevention programming. This grant, the conference, and the subsequent programming had an impact on all of Midland County and was a huge success. This grant funded a Children's Summer Safety Program, a free day camp for children between the ages of 5 and 12. This Summer Safety Program was to help teach children about bicycle safety (signs and signals), the importance of keeping hands clean and sanitized, how to recognize different poisonous plants, water safety, warning signs and prevention of sunburn, dehydration, and heat related illness, as well as stranger danger. The program works with court involved youth to develop their skills and community contacts through service learning. The main service learning project is planting, nurturing, growing and harvesting wild rice. This grant brought a speaker to Crawford AuSable Schools who addressed 7-12 grade students and their parents (at a separate presentation) about the legal dangers of technology use, including use of cell phones and social media. The program reached over 500 people in the community and focused on a problem that is becoming more and more common: youth getting into legal trouble with photos, websites and other communications technology, in part because they are unaware of the laws regarding their usage. Many who attended reported that the presentation was an eye-opener about privacy laws and other issues. This Healthy Choices event exposes Norway Elementary School students to a variety of health occupations that exist in the local area, what skills/training are necessary to work in that field, and how educations plays an important part in determining their healthy choices. "Be-A-Santa" project. Each school selects a family in need and then goes Christmas shopping to provide much needed items for family members. It builds team unity and gives the YAC great exposure. This grant was not a lot of money, but had a great return on investment. Nearly 70 area youth benefited by learning about conservation issues and measures to ease degradation in the area they live in. 44 �YAC 2009 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation YMCA of Northern Michigan $2,000 Roscommon County Community Foundation American Red Cross $568 Saginaw Community Foundation Mid-Michigan Hapkido Community Outreach $4,000 Sanilac County Community Foundation Schoolcraft County Community Foundation Department of Human Services $2,250 Manistique Area Schools $500 Shiawassee Community Foundation Salvation Army $2,500 Southfield Community Foundation Sparta Community Foundation St. Ignace Area Community Foundation South Center for Youth $25,000 Sparta Area Schools $999 EUP Intermediate School District $1,421 YAC 2009 Annual Survey Report to the Field Although this wasn't the largest or the most unique grant, this $2,000 award provided funds that the YMCA could pull from to help families make up the difference if they couldn't pay the full amount for summer camp. The YMCA also offered before and after care for children of working parents. This grant gave the organization flexibility to use the funds as needed for this purpose, provided opportunities for local children who may not have had them otherwise, and supported working families that needed care for all ages of children during the day. YAC awarded $568 to assist with the cost of providing Basic Aid Training (B.A.T.) for all 4th grade students at public and private schools in our county. Six of our YAC members were trained to teach "Just Say No to Alcohol, Tobacco and Drugs". They did an excellent job relating to the 4th graders about a very important subject. The goal at Mid-Michigan Hapkido Community Outreach is to teach children how to appropriately defend themselves, get into great physical shape, and learn special life lessons. In addition to the physical kicking and punching skills required to learn selfdefense, children learn how to use discipline, respect, self-control, teamwork, and more to excel in school as well as at home. Funds from FORCE will be used for purchasing uniforms, training equipment, protective equipment and testing materials. To provide support for Foster Child Special Needs Fund. To partially fund bringing author Carol McCloud to speak about her book & concept "Have You Filled A Bucket Today". This is 3 presentations 1.) Lower elementary students 2.) Upper elementary students and 3.) Adults (Staff, Parents and Community Members) Sponsored 100 needy children registered through the Salvation Army's annual holiday wish list program. YAC members shop for the gifts, wrap and deliver them to the Salvation Army for distribution. Provided money to assist on completion of Youth Center. Real Care Baby Infant Simulator will provide students with an opportunity to experience what it would be like to have a child in hopes of preventing teen pregnancy.

Since the system was introduced, many of the student’s families have purchased one for their own as a way to have fun together as a family and be active. This grant was for Rachel's Challenge program for all middle school students in the community addressing the issues of bullying, tolerance for others, respect for peers and adults. Proceeds from the festival fund various community projects. This grant was for youth entertainment at the festival. This grant was for a composting project that was a relatively small grant in terms of dollar amount but had a significant and ongoing impact on our youth. The grant provided funding for a K-5 elementary school with over 500 students to purchase equipment for a school composting program. Students did before and after comparisons of their school's garbage output, incorporated these efforts into their science and social studies classes, and were empowered to teach their family, friends and other community members about the positive impact composting can have for the environment and our community. The Jackson Storyfest program involves all 14 school districts in Jackson County and impacts more than 5,600 youth and adults. Professional and amateur storytellers provide storytelling to youth with classroom follow-up connecting oral language, self-esteem, reading and writing skills. This grant supported a student initiated healthy food campaign to assist with fighting youth obesity by promoting healthy eating. Equipment and supplies were purchased for this youth oriented food and nutrition program promoting healthy eating and exercise for county students. 46 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At our October 20 Executive Committee Meeting, the Committee agreed that there is a need to revisit our Strategic Plan and engage the Board more in the development of the Plan of Work for 2010. The Board last revisited the Strategic Plan in 2004, and much has happened to the field of philanthropy, the nonprofit sector and membership associations of grantmakers. This recommendation has been influenced by a meeting we held with Trustees representing family foundations, as well as feedback from Trustees as part of the CMF President's assessment. As 2010 approaches, we are facing a number of challenges, including: • Continued economic recession in Michigan; • Growing pressures on members to deal with emergency human service needs; • A nearly complete turnover in State government; • Members dealing with diminished resources; • Declining membership; and • A potential deficit for the year ending March 31, 2010. We have many opportunities to tum these challenges into opportunities in 2010, including: • Putting a laser focus on our priorities; • Reaffirming our membership value proposition, especially to family foundations; • Launching a Membership Recruitment Campaign; • Using our Supporting Organization to provide back room services to foundations; • Partnering with MNA to make the Nonprofit Caucus a key education strategy; and, • Tapping the operating reserve for the first time. Let us be clear---our financial health is strong, and we are not panicking. However, it is clear that this next year provides a critical moment to reaffirm our mission, our core goals and focus on our assets to emerge even stronger from this challenging economic time. We look forward to a robust discussion. PDF File Page 79 of 92 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I. Support for Cultural Data Project RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundation (CMF) supports the Michigan Cultural Data Project initiative in its efforts to strengthen the role and vitality of the non-profit arts and cultural sector statewide via a comprehensive online data management tool designed to effectively monitor financial, programmatic and operational data and other performance measures, increase organizational sustainability, and document the health and impact of Michigan's arts and cultural sector. Background For the last year, a group of 11 CMF members (community, private, corporate and fami ly foundations) have been working with ArtServe M ichigan and the M ichigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs to study the feasibi lity of launching the Cultural Data Project (CDP) in Michigan. CDP was started by the Pew Charitable Trusts in 2001 in Pennsylvania and has expanded to California, Maryland, and Ill inois with plans to start in Massachusetts, Ohio and New York this year. Their goal is to be in 22 states by 2004 in positioning the arts and culture for national benchmarking. States that are joining CDP have the opportunity to take advantage of the millions invested in CDP by the Pew Charitable Trusts and the economies of scale offered by services such as the 24 hot-line. While Michigan's economic challenges are daunting, the group ofCMF members and two partners have decided to advance plans to raise the needed three year budget of $850,000 and have two thirds of the funds lined up at th is time. Both ArtServe and MCACA have passed Board Resolutions of support and the Michigan Nonprofit Association is doing so as well. At a time when the arts are being defunded by our State Government, the CDP Taskforce feels it is important to launch the CDP in mid 20 I 0 as a long term tool to build a solid case for the role that the arts and culture play in our State. CMF has been asked by our members to endorse the CDP. II. Activities since the June 2009 Board Meeting • Michigan Grantmakers in Aging o CMF hosted the second webinar in a two-part series: Michigan 's Mature Workforce: An Emerging Employment Crisis on June 15.

Public Policy Communications Since the June Board Meeting, CMF published eleven policy-related News Wire articles and shared twenty-seven public policy resources via the monthly £ -News (Attachment C). (Note that underlined text is a hyperlink to the original electronic version of the article.) PDF File Page 72 of 92 �Public Policy Report Page4 ATTACHMENT A: Indiana Workforce Wise, Focus on Philanthropy: Resources, Initiatives and Future Directions Points oflmpact for Philanthropic Sector and the Mature Workforce It is quite evident from the national and state-wide research performed by Indiana Grantmakers Alliance that Indiana's philanthropic sector is in a unique position to impact Indiana's aging workforce. As community resources, promoters of innovation, and leaders within the nonprofit workforce, Indiana's philanthropic sector can serve many roles and impact many of the complex issues facing Indiana's maturing workforce. From disseminating best practices to funding research and partnering with economic development organizations, Indiana's foundations and corporate giving programs can employ myriad strategies to enhance the skills of individual workers; support economic development efforts; partner w ith the private sector to foster economic growth; and encourage mature workers to engage in encore careers within the nonprofit sector. Impact on Economic Development Philanthropic institutions are working across sectors to enhance workforce development efforts and support regional economic growth by linking investment boards with education, economic development and community development initiatives. The philanthropic sector, specifically community foundations, can be effective in keeping older workers in communities and nwturing the entrepreneurial spirits of individuals. National Best Practice- CFUP Community Foundation of the Upper Peninsula (CFUP) is a network of nine Michigan foundations that values collaboration and partnerships. The community which the foundation represents has a population of approximately 300,000 individuals, most of which are retirees over the age of 50. Tourism and small business (manufacturing) are mainstays of the economy and unemployment is higher than the rest of the state of Michigan. In late 2007, CFUP entered into a partnership with Northern Initiatives, a nonprofit organization promoting economic development in rural areas. CFUP purchased $200,000 of Northern Initiative notes in 2008. This investment enabled Northern Initiatives to provide low-interest loans to entrepreneurs, grow small business, and create/maintain jobs in northern Michigan. The collaboration has resulted in the creation of 31 new jobs and the retention of 109 jobs across the Upper Peninsula. Half of these 140 jobs have impacted mature workers in small businesses. Northern Initiatives has made 28 unconventional loans with the majority of the loans amounting to less than $35,000 and benefiting female and elder-owned businesses. Impact on Civic Engagement As the 77,000,000 U.S. Baby Boomers retire, there will be an unprecedented opportunity for nonprofit organizations to engage retirees in their work. As leaders in the nonprofit sector, philanthropic organizations have a unique role in ensuring the nonprofit sector is ready to capitalize on this opportunity. Foundations and corporate giving programs can lead the way in proactively and creatively influencing stakeholders to prepare for these transitions. By using PDF File Page 73 of 92 �Public Policy Report Page 5 quantitative and qualitative data, the philanthropic sector can identify pathways for volunteer and professional engagement, avoid the pitfalls of poorly-planned transitions, and create new metrics for tracking successful programs. The Conference Board is completing extensive work in this arena and, along with Civic Ventures, is attempting to answer the question: "Boomers Are Ready for Nonprofits, but Are Nonprofits Ready for Them?" As best practices and successful transition qualities are identified, Indiana's philanthropic community can take a leading role in helping mature workers assimilate to the nonprofit culture and nonprofit organizations build their human resource capacity to address the needs of these mature workers. National Best Practice- Grand Rapids Community Foundation Through their Encore Initiative, Grand Rapids Community Foundation (GRCF) is working to ensure that experienced adults who want to use their time and talent to help address community issues have plenty of opportunities to do so - opportunities that are compelling, fulfilling and rewarding. They convened the community to develop a Creating Community for a Lifetime (CCFL) roadmap; are playing a leadership role in advancing the social and civic engagement recommendations within the CCFL roadmap; and published an excellent report, Unleashing the Experience Dividend, which highlights their efforts. With the support of a Community Experience Partnership grant from The Atlantic Philanthropies, GRCF assessed the community's readiness to tap the talents of boomers and other experienced adults. Find out more from Boomers and Beyond: Is our Community Ready to Tap their Talents? The foundation is also partnering with Grand Valley State University's Johnson Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership to offer Coming of Age training to help local nonprofits more effectively engage experienced adults. Finally, GRCF has awarded grants to five area organizations for projects aimed at addressing the social and civic engagement needs of Kent County's older adults. Engaged Older Adults Strengthening Community highlights these demonstration projects. PDF File Page 74 of 92 �Public Policy Report Page 6 ATTACHMENT 8: Arts Affinity Group Tenets Arts Affinity Group of CMF Purpose The CMF Arts Affinity Group (AAG) creates a learning community in which funders share ideas, research, and resources; network; and invite arts and culture leaders to present in unique learning opportunities. AAG engages in public policy via its representation by a group member on the CMF Board, via statewide collaborative initiatives, and via engagement of policy makers with current research and trends in the arts and culture sector. AAG establishes regional cooperation, collaboration, and identity by convening regional arts leaders and supporters. Responsibilities The Arts Affinity Group: • Designs and organizes CMF annual conference sessions, site visits, and other conference sessions. • Develops and implements arts affinity group projects. • Creates strategic alliances with state-wide and national organizations to support arts advocacy agenda (e.g., Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, A1iServe Michigan, Michigan Youth Arts Festival). • Cultivates representation on the CMF Public Policy Committee. • Identifies collaborative opportunities to be a unified advocated of Michigan's arts and culture sector. Composition Leadership The AAG is chaired by at least two members and maximum of three co-chairs with an intent to represent Michigan's disparate communities (by geography, by foundation, and by community it serves) for a one year term with the possibility to renew. The process by which a co-chair is selected is as follows: • Individuals submit interest in being a co-chair. • If there is more interest than positions, each potential chair submits a short description of qualifications and vision for AAG. • AAG membership votes via email to CMF in late fall (Timeline to best align with CMF public policy fellow calendar). • New co-chairs meet with current chairs prior to the first AAG meeting of the new year. CMF StaffLiaison The CMF Public Policy Fellow serves as a staff liaison to CMF. Partnerships Under its tenet of regional collaboration, AAG invites primary and secondary partners to AAG meetings. Primary Partnerships exist between AAG and the State's arts council and ArtServe Michigan. Each Primary Partner is invited to select a representative, to attend all meetings-leaving only during funder-only discussions, and to serve on AAG subcommittees and tasks forces. Primary Partners do not have a vote with regard to AAG decisions. Secondary Partnerships exist between regional arts groups, e.g., the Cultural Alliance of SE Michigan. Secondary partners are invited as needed and may serve on ad hoc committees and tasks forces. Meetings AAG will meet a maximum offour times per year, and includes the CMF Annual Conference.

Four-state salary survey for community foundations The four states participating in M idwest Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV)- IIIinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan- partnered with the Council on Foundations Research Department to promote and publish a four-state salary survey for community foundations. The collective survey and report reduced the number of surveys being conducted in each of the four states, increased the participation in the annual COF salary survey, and produced more robust and useful results from a survey focused on the Midwest states. Annual Community Foundation and Y AC surveys CMF once again collected information from its member community foundations and their Y ACs regarding total assets, grants given and donations received along with a number of other topics that will help inform the future work CMF does for Community Foundations and Y ACs. Survey results are being distributed at the Annual Conference. IV.

Community foundations are ideal candidates to support local college access work because of their long-standing support of college scholarships, their leadership and commitment to MCAN efforts, and their position as vital leaders in Michigan's communities. The purpose of the Community Foundation Kresge Challenge Grant Initiative is to leverage local private investment to engage and sustain college access partnerships, thereby increasing the college-going rate and culture in Michigan. MCFYP Matching Grant partnership with the Michigan Department of Community Health The 2008 survey data returned by Michigan Y ACs showed that alcohol abuse is one of the most critical issues facing the youth of Michigan today. In response to this problem, the MCFYP Committee partnered with the Michigan Department of Community Health to make available a total of $25,000 to Y ACs around the state who were either funding alcohol prevention projects or who designed and implemented effective programming to prevent alcohol abuse. Eleven g rants were distributed and matched I to I to provide a total of $50,000 to alcohol and drug prevention programs around the state.

Committee members present in addition to Mr. Colina were Tammy Bailey, Janet Bauer, Tom Porter and Betsy Upton Stover. Staff present included Kimberly Burton, Rob Collier, Jeri Fischer, Susan Howbert and Dave Lindberg. The following Resolutions are presented for consideration and action. I. New Members We are pleased that the following two members have submitted the appropriate membership information and meet CMF's criteria for membership. RESOLVED that the following grantmakers be approved for membership: Frost Solys Family Foundation, Northville Stephen H. Solys, president • Foundation created December 2008, unfunded at this time. Robert Bosch LLC, Farmington Hills Kimberly Lindsey-Feagin, director of community affairs • Gennan company with North American base in Fam1ington Hills; global supplier of automotive and industrial technology and consumer goods and building technology; global sales of $66 billion; N.A. sales of $8.6 billion. Corporate giving for 2008 totaled $1 million. II. Non-Solicitation Policy We propose the following statement be posted on the CMF web site at michiganfoundations.org and be made a standard part of the annual membership renewal letter as a part of standard best practice for associations. RESOLVED that the following non-solicitation policy be approved: "The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) provides members opportunities to explore and learn. We encourage collaboration, however to foster open exchanges at CMF meetings and events, our members agree to refrain from grantseeking or fundraising with other members during those meetings. In addition, members agree not to use their CMF membership to solicit business or in solicitation materials." PDF File Page 42 of 92 �Membership Report October 2009 III. Membership Categories Community Foundation Donor Advised Fund is a membership category currently with eight (8) members. The Community Foundation Committee in 2001 asked CMF not to advertise or promote this category. Following the work of a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) Subcommittee and the full Community Foundation Committee (CFC), a resolution was passed by the CFC on September 23, 2009 to endorse the proposal to promote Community Foundation Donor Advised Funds. CMFwill: • Provide to a community foundation promotion materials (co-branded) that describe the DAF membership benefits/rationale and CMF application form, • Upon receipt of a DAF application, create a unique member record which allows access to member only information on the CMF web site at michiganfoundations.org and send a formal thank you with a copy to the community foundation, and • Notify DAFs and community foundations ofupcoming events and publications of interest to them via e-mail and mail, specifically those attractive to family foundations. Community Foundation will: • Determine whether they want to notify all or targeted DAFs of this membership opportunity Staff continues to look at opportunities to broaden and increase membership categories.

Bringing in new members is important to the health and well-being of our association. We need your help! While we have invited nonmembers to attend part or all of the Annual Conference, frankly we have not been as successful as we had hoped. We are pleased that Claudia Deschaine from the Dart Foundation in Mason and Kathy Huschke from the Oleson Foundation in Traverse City are attending. Therefore, we need to focus on one-on-one relationships and our Trustees and Committee volunteers are our best sales force. This is the process the Membership Committee has reviewed. Process: • Staff will provide a list - see attached- of eligible foundations with organization name, grantmaker type, contact person, address, city, location, assets and trustees, as well as any other research requested about potential members. • CMF Trustees, membership, corporate and family foundation committee members will be encouraged to select a member(s) to recruit. Self-selected candidates are encouraged, as well. • Volunteers should report their progress on a regular basis to the Membership Director who will track activity. • A recap of recruitment activities will be reported at Board meetings. Reports for individual committee meetings will also be available on request. • Talking points will be provided to volunteers, however presenting your own experiences and what you find most valuable about your association with CMF is vital. • Face-to-face meetings/contact is most effective and staff is pleased to join Trustees and committee members making visits.

All participants in Foundations on the Hill are invited to participate in the Government Relations Committee. The following report with recommended actions is presented for your consideration. I. Review and Adopt C ommittee Charter Co-Chair Andrea Cole introduced a proposed Government Relations Committee Charter (attached) that outlines the responsibilities and structure. Mr. Collier noted that while CMF has been taking members to Washington for 31 years, it was brought to his attention that we do not have a Charter for the Committee like we do for the much newer Public Policy committee. He noted that membership in the Committee will now be limited to those who have attended Foundations on the Hill at least once in the past three years. RESOLVED that the Committee C harter be approved as recommend by the Government Relations Committee. II. Update of Legislative Goals Statement Co-Chair Carol Paine-McGovern noted that two State Goals have been accomplished in this past year: amendment of the LLC Act to provide for a Low-Profit Limited Liability Company and updating UMIFA to UPMIFA that will allow for nonprofits to access endowment funds that are below their historic dollar value. She then proposed adoption of the Legislative Goals Statement for 2009-2010. RESOLVED that the Legislative Goals Statement, as attached, be adopted for 2009-10 as recommended by the Government Relations Committee. Background Co-Chair Carol Paine-McGovern reviewed the proposed five Action Goals for National Legislative Issues, pages 3-6: • simplification of the excise tax on private foundations to a revenue neutral number; • extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover; • reinstatement of the federal state estate tax credit; • legislation that allows tax-exempt entities to invest in securities and commodities that involve indebtedness without being subject to unrelated business income tax (UBIT); and • legislation and regulatory reform that will make it easier for foundations to make program related investments. PDF File Page 52 of 92 �Government Relations Report October 2009 Page 2 She then reviewed the proposed four Action Goals for State Legislative Issues, pages 10-12: • monitoring the permanent community foundation tax credit; • opposing efforts by the Greenlining Institute, as they did in California, or other organizations, to legislate at the state (or federal) level reporting requirements on diversity for foundations, their grantees and vendors; • legislation to simplify the Charitable Solicitations Act; • legislation to exempt youth volunteer activities from work pem1it requirements - this is new legislation being promoted by the new Nonprofit Caucus. III. Update from the Public Policy Fellow Dana Linnane commented on the Public Policy Activities summarized in the Public Policy Report also included in the Board of Trustees materials. IV. March 16 & 17,2010 Foundations on the Hill Co-Chair Andrea Cole asked all Committee members to save the dates of March 16 & 17, 2010 for CMF's annual trip to Washington to meet w ith members of our Congressional Delegation noting that this will be a vital year. She asked for suggestions on how Foundation on the Hill can be more effective for all participants. The group emphasized Congressional members' like hearing stories from their district and doing follow-up after the fact. V. Other Co-chair Cole introduced two additional items that had surfaced since the Committee materials were sent. First, she shared a letter to Senator Max Baucus supported by the Council on Foundations supporting maintaining the current charitable deduction rates. She also reviewed the news that Senator Grass1ey has proposed two amendments to the Senate's Health Bill that would give the IRS statutory authority to require infom1ation on governance and management as part of the annual Form 990 reporting requirement; and remove the safe harbor provision for nonprofits on issues of excessive compensation to executives. There was consensus by the Committee that CMF should sign on to the letter to Baucus and oppose the Grassley amendments. NOTE- Senator Grassley did drop his two amendments to the Senate Health Bill before it was passed by the Senate Finance Committee. Finally, the Committee started discussion that will continue on Strategies for the 2010 State Elections. Mr. Collier noted there are only eight State Senators not tenn-limited in 2010, and one of them is Senator Mark Jansen, co-chair of the Nonprofit Caucus. ADDITION SINCE THE COMMITTEE MEETING Efforts to consider a new Michigan Inheritance Tax as a revenue raiser seem to have been dropped by the State Legislature. Rob Collier met with Senate Majority Leader Bishop on Tuesday evening September 29 to discuss the problems posed by a new effort in the State Senate and Michigan's history of driving affluent families from the State by having an Inheritance Tax.

INTRODUCTION Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society, supported by appropriate federal and state legislation and regulations. While there have been reforms at both levels of government to encourage giving, there have also been provisions in past legislation, such as the 1969 Tax Act, and regulations that serve as disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as discourage charitable donations to existing foundations. Because the mission of CMF is to strengthen, promote and increase philanthropy in Michigan, the Board of Trustees has adopted as one of six operating goals - to advocate for a legislative and regulatory government conducive to philanthropy. In 1977, the Members ofCMF directed the Board of Trustees to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy and include communication with public policymakers. *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page I PDF File Page 55 of 92 �A Government Relations Committee, representing foundation and corporate giving program members, was established to implement the program and has continued to represent CMF Members on their legislative interests and priorities. In 1978, CMF began an annual activity of taking a group of foundation representatives to meet with each member of the Michigan Congressional Delegation in Washington. Known as Foundations on the Hill, 2008 marked the 30111 year of this activity now shared by other regional associations of grantmakers across the country in partnership with the Council on Foundations and the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers. In addition to these organizations, CMF works with the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Independent Sector, and other nonprofit organizations to enhance the understanding of public policymakers at the federal and state level about philanthropy and to bring about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. In part because CMF and its community foundations have been successful in making the conununity foundation tax credit pennanent in the state tax code, CMF retains the fim1 Public Affairs Associates to assist in Lansing with its educational efforts with state policymakers. As a result of these efforts by CMF and others, the following goals have been accomplished. II.

Amendment to the LLC Act signed by Governor Granholm in January 2009 to allow for creation of low profit limited liability companies. In September 2009, Governor Granholm signed Public Acts 87 and 88 of 2009, bills updating UMIFA to UPMIFA- the Uniform Prudent Management oflnstitutional Funds Act. IV. NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ACTION GOALS 1. Goal: Support simplification of the excise tax on private foundations to a flat tax that is revenue neutral for the federal government. Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from two to one percent if a foundation 's payout for the year in question equals or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets, times the average payout percentage for the five years, plus 1 percent of the foundation's net investment income. Private foundations are the only 50l(c)(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax. The current fornm la is difficult to administer and can limit charitable giving. While CMF has been advocating simplification of the tax to a flat one percent, as a result ofthe 2008 Foundations on the Hill, CMF was encouraged by members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation to have an outside firm complete an analysis of what a revenue neutral number would be for a flat excise tax. Cambridge Associates completed the analysis in September 2008 and recommends a revenue neutral number of 1.32%. This analysis has been shared with members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation as well as the Council on Foundations. *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 3 PDF File Page 57 of 92 �Senate Bill 676 was introduced in March 2009 by Senators Schumer, Levin and Stabenow to introduce a revenue neutral excise tax of 1.32%. A companion bill is expected to be introduced by Representative Danny Davis of Illinois in the fall of 2009. CMF will send a letter to members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation encouraging them to support this Bill too. The legislation will not be acted on until the Joint Committee on Taxation has scored the Revenue Neutral Number and verified the work of Cambridge Associates. 2. Goal: Pennit tax-free distribution from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes. Explanation: Despite the projected loss of a trillion dollars in IRA retirement accounts in the 2008-09 economic recession, economists project that more than two million dollars still remain in these accounts. There are still Michiganders and others who do not need to take the required distribution at age 70112 and pay the required tax. Evidence confirms since first put into law in 2006 with bi-partisan support that individuals will support charitable activity if given the option of rolling the required distribution tax free to an eligible charitable beneficiary. Michigan Representative Dave Camp and both Senator Levin and Senator Stabenow played key roles in the inclusion of the IRA Charitable Rollover in the final version of the Pension Reform Bill signed into law by the President in August 2006. The provision allows individuals age 70 Yi to make contributions of up to $100,000 tax free from IRAs to charitable organizations, except donor advised funds and private foundations, in both 2006 and 2007. CMF through its supporting organization, Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures, played a leading role in the development of the Charitable IRA Portfolio distributed in September 2006 to all community foundations nationwide that meet national standards for community foundations. While legislation was introduced in 2007 to include community foundation donor advised funds, remove the cap of $100,000 and lower the age to 591 /2, Congress did not act on this legislation, but did approve an extension ofthe IRA Rollover with no changes for 2008 and 2009. This legislation has been reintroduced in 2009 by Representative Pomeroy, H.R. 1250. However, due to pay go rules, and the increased cost to the federal treasury, it is unlikely that this legislation will pass in 2009. CMF has continued to promote extension of the IRA Rollover with inclusion of community foundation donor advised funds as an eligible recipient. Due to widespread bi-partisan support for the IRA Rollover as it currently exists, Michigan Congressional representatives are confident that it will be extended again for 2010 and 2011 as part of an extenders package that will be acted on in the last days of the 2009 session. 3. Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 2001 on creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations and promote reinstatement of the federal state estate tax credit. *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 4 PDF File Page 58 of 92 �Explanation: The "Tax Relief Reconcil iation Act of 2001" passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President in June 2001, phases out the Estate Tax between 2002 and 2010. Full repeal however is only in effect for the year 2010. The estate tax then reverts, unless new legislation is passed, to the 2000 tax code status. It is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office in a July 2004 Report titles Charitable Bequests and the Repeal ofthe Estate Tax, that full repeal ofthe estate tax would annually cost the nonprofit sector $17 billion in charitable bequests. Independent Sector (IS) supports a compromise of an exemption rate of $3.5 million for an individual and a 35% tax rate. At this rate it is believed that nearly all family farms and fami ly-owned businesses would be exempt from the estate tax. The estate tax would only apply to 0.3 percent of Americans as opposed to only 2 percent of estates today. The Congressional Budget Office further estimates in a July 2005 Report titled Effects of the Federal Estate Tax on Farms and Small Businesses, that the IS position would decrease charitable giving by about 3 percent or $7.4 billion as opposed to $17 billion with total repeal. This goal is tied to Goal 7 under State Legislative Issues- opposing reinstatement of a state inheritance tax. Michigan was receiving funds from the federal state estate tax credit that more than offset repeal of the state inheritance tax in 1993 - a CMF Goal. The federal credit has now been phased out at a projected cost to Michigan of $200 million or more each year. Concern has been expressed on several levels that with so many states having budgetary problems, new inheritances taxes will be reinstated as a form of revenue raiser, pitting states against each other and resulting in a potential loss to Michigan of wealthy estates as was evidenced in 2007 when an effort was made to reinstate a State Inheritance Tax. Staff of Michigan Congressional Members indicate that they expect the 2009 rates for the excise tax to be extended for an additional year to give Congress more time to finish work on health care reform and other priorities. With the leadership of Robin Ferriby from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, CMF has had meetings in 2009 with the Washington staff of Governor Granholm, the Policy Staff of the National Governors Association and Senators Stabenow and Levin and Representatives Levin and Camp to discuss reinstatement of the Federal Credit as part of the permanent fix to the Estate Tax. If a permanent fix to the Estate Tax is considered in 2010, these leaders have agreed to discuss this issue with staff of both the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. 4. Goal: Support legislation that allows tax-exempt entities to invest in securities and commodities that involve indebtedness without being subject to unrelated business income tax (UBIT). This legislation would also eliminate the classification of realized gains and income, derived from leveraged real estate investments by foundations, as unrelated business taxable income. Explanation: The original intent ofUBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax) was to prevent nonprofits from competing against for-profit entities in a business that is not substantially related to its exempt purpose. Over the last twenty years, foundations and *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 5 PDF File Page 59 of 92 �universities have invested in hedge funds and other alternative investments to increase their investment returns and reduce the volatility of their investment portfol io. Many times these investments involve leverage (debt) that would subject the foundation to UBIT. But based on Private Letter Rulings from the IRS, foundations are able invest in this area through offshore corporations as limited partners and avoid UBIT. The key issue is tax-exempt institutions should not be taxed on passive leveraged investments. In addition, income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Private foundations should be treated in the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain real property. Michigan Representative Sander L evin has reintroduced legislation in September 2009, HR 3497, with support from Representatives M cDermott and Van Hollen to create an exception to the debt finance income rules that would allow all tax-exempt entities to invest directly in on shore hedge funds wit hout being subject to UBIT. This legislation was passed by the House in the last session but did not make it through the C onferen ce Committee process with the Senate. CMF has written to all M ichigan Rep resentatives encouraging t hem to support this Bill. 5. Goal: To support legislation and regulatory r eform that will make it easier for foundations to ma ke program related investments. Explanation : Despite the ability to make program r elated investments, research has shown that less than 10% of foundations make these below market investments in projects with a charitable purpose. A number of foundations chose to take a conservative approach by requesting a private letter ruling from the IRS. With the passage of the Low Profit Limited Liability Corporation (L3C) legislation by M ichigan and 6 other states, the Council on F oundations has drafted the Program Related Investments Promotion Act of 2009. CMF staff have talked with the key staff for Representative Sander Levin about sponsoring this legislation. H e has indicated a willingness to do so once a tr ial L3C application if filed with the IRS. ONGOING G O ALS 1. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value of foundations' grantnmking capability. Expla nation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that all historical financial data be taken into consideration. History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. (Reilly/Skadden, University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration study sponsored by CMF, 198 1 - Private Foundations: The Payout Requirement and Its Effect on In vestment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study "Spending Policies and Investment Planning for Foundations, " 1995, sponsored by the Council on Foundations.) A CMF sponsored study, completed in May 2000 and updated *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 6 PDF File Page 60 of 92 �in 2004 by Cambridge Associates, Inc. of the actual perfonnance of a group of Michigan endowed private foundations, confinns the position of maintaining the payout rate at no more than 5 %. Efforts to increase the payout of private foundations to more than 5% were reactivated earlier this year by the release of the 2009 National Committee on Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP) Report recommending a 6% percent payout. Given the impact of the economy on endowments, there does not seem to be any interest by members of Congress on increasing the required payout rate in 2009. The interest in past sessions of Congress about requiring a payout for endowments held by public charities seems to have also quieted down. 2. Goal: Change the limitation on gifts to a private foundation from 20 percent to 30 percent of AGI for gifts of appreciated property and from 30 percent to 50 percent of AGI for gifts of cash. Explanation: Under existing law, the amount deductible by an individual taxpayer for contributions to private non-operating foundati ons is computed as a percentage of the donor's contribution base (in most cases, his or her adjusted gross income). An individual may deduct only 20 percent of the gifts of appreciated property or 30 percent of gifts of cash. On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50 percent of their contribution base for cash (and 30 percent for appreciated property) for gifts to public charities. 3. Goal: Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer for a gift to a private foundation of certain capital gain property. Explanation: Individual taxpayers may deduct the fu ll fair market value of a gift to a private foundation of appreciated property in the form of publicly-traded stock, ifthe gift is less than 10 percent of the outstanding stock of the company. However, in other cases, such as privately held stock, the amount of deduction continues to be limited to the donor's cost or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The same gift to a public charity entitles the taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction. 4. Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and repeal the three percent floor on itemized deductions. Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, Congress approved a three percent floor in deductions. This floor was scheduled to expire at the end of 1995, but in 1993 was made permanent. 5. Goal: Limit lineal descendants who are "disqualified persons" at the level of grandchildren. Explanation: In 1984, the law was amended to limit "disqualified persons" to substantial contributors to a foundation and their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and their spouses. The amendment provided that substantial contributors will no longer be considered "disqualified persons" if, over a ten-year period, they meet *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 7 PDF File Page 6 1 of 92 �certain requirements to distance themselves from the foundation. However, there is still no logical rationale - - or examples of abuse - - to justify the inclusion of lineal descendants beyond the level of grandchildren. 6. Goal: Modify the law to permit the "out of corpus" requirement to be met by a foreign grantee if sufficient documentation is provided show ing that the fu ll amount of the grant was spent for the specified purposes within 12 months after the year the grant was made. Explanation: When making grants to some foreign charities, private foundations are required to treat them as private foundations. Any grant from a private foundation to another private foundation requires that the amount granted "flow through" the grantee and out as qualifying distributions that are made "out of corpus" by the end of the following year. The purpose for this rule is to prevent a foundation from avoiding the payout rule by having one private foundation give to another, who then simply adds the grant to its endowment (corpus), with charitable grantees receiving no benefit. In the foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment and totally misunderstands the concept of"out of corpus." 7. Goal: Secure passage oflegislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form that permits itemized deductions; instead they fi le the short form that allows only a standard deduction. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize charitable contributions within certain limits, but the deduction expired January 1, 1987. Because the Senate Fiscal Agency has evaluated the cost of the non-itemizer and deemed that it will cost the federal government more than it will generate in new charitable giving, efforts to attach this goal to legislation were dropped in 2007 and are not expected to be continued in 2009. 8. Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can lobby or otherwise influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that adversely affect grantmaking. Explanation: Continuous monitoring is essential to oppose unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory reporting burdens on both foundations and their grantees. Independent Sector (IS), on behalf of foundations and public charity nonprofits, has taken the position that 50l(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations should not be included in the definition of political committees. Political committees are prohibited from raising money from corporations (including nonprofit corporations) or unions or from using contributions in excess of $5,000 from an individual to pay for electioneering activities. Political committees must also disclose names of contributors in regular reports to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), and contributions to such committees are not taxdeductible. IS makes the follow ing points: • Current tax law already limits the lobbying and partisan political activities of these groups. *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 8 PDF File Page 62 of 92 �• • 9. The FEC should maintain its current, clear distinction between "express advocacy" communications (those that clearly call for a vote for or against a particular candidate or political party) and other nonpartisan communications. It should not adopt IRS standards for partisan advocacy, which were designed for a different regulatory and enforcement regime. Voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities should only be considered political expenditures if they are clearly tied to a candidate or party. Activities targeted to specific populations (e.g., women, African Americans, a particular neighborhood, members of a particular organization) should not be considered political "expenditures" simply because those populations may be "more likely" to vote for a particular candidate or party. Goal: Avoid excessive regulations on corporate giving. Explanation: CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation, which would require costly administration by corporations. CMF continues to monitor proposed legislation like the House version of the 2002 Corporate and Accounting: Accountability and Transparency Act that included three reporting provisions (all Board service by officers, directors, and significant family members; all gifts of $10,000 or more; all transactions valued at $10,000 or more) that would have a negative impact on corporate philanthropy. There has been no similar legislation introduced since 2006 and none is expected in the 2009 Congressional session. 10. Goal: Support efforts to incorporate philanthropy as an objective oflegislation providing financ ial resources to character education and other K-12 educational initiatives. Explanation: CMF was successful through the Learning to Give initiative in having the word "giving" added to the definition of character education in the 2002 Education Bill. Learning to Give, now through its new affiliation with The League, is assisting when appropriate national partners, such as the Corporation for National and Community Service, in efforts to ensure that giving is incorporated in new character education programs and other appropriate federal initiatives. 11. Goal: Support legislation requiring a five percent payout for Donor Advised Funds. Explanation: In 2005 and 2006, staff of the Senate Finance Committee advocated for a required payout for Donor Advised Funds, defined simply as Funds at public charities that primarily make grants to charitable beneficiari es pursuant to advice provided by the donor. This proposed required payout is caused by concerns of members of Congress that some Donor Advised Funds administered by organizations such as the Fidelity Gift Fund never make a charitable distribution and that university and college endowment funds make less than a five percent payout while the cost of higher education continues to escalate for students. Because the five percent payout is recommended by both Michigan and national standards for community foundations, CMF supports such legislation. The National Panel convened by IS at the request of the Senate Finance Committee has recommended this *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 9 PDF File Page 63 of 92 �payout requirement for Donor Advised Funds in its fmal Report presented in 2005 to Senator Grassley, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee. 12. Goal: Support efforts to make the IRS forms 990 and 990PF more useful to the public, foundations, charities and regulators as prime sources of reliable information on the nonprofit sector. Explanation: The IRS has concluded efforts on a new Fonn 990 effective in 2009 which CMF has contributed to through work led by the Council on Foundations, Independent Sector, the Foundation Center, and the National Center on Charitable Statistics. CMF is prepared to contribute to the 990PF update once the IRS begins work on it. 13. Goal: Support efforts to limit tax shelters in which charities receive little or no benefit. Explanation: The Senate Finance Committee identified through Hearings held in 2004 and 2005, examples of tax shelters providing little benefit to charity. As a result Senator Grassley introduced S 993 in 2005 to place excise taxes on insurance contracts in which certain exempt organizations may hold an interest. This Bill received support from the Council on Foundations, Independent Sector and CMF and was included in the Refonn Provisions of HR 4 passed in 2006. V. STATE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ACTION GOALS 1. Goal: To monitor administration of the pem1anent community foundation tax credits for individuals, families and businesses and their relationship to current and proposed tax credits. Explanation: As a result of term limits CMF staff continually work with legislators to explain the tax credit and the role of community foundations in building permanent endowments. There is an on-going effort by other nonprofit sector groups such as hospitals, schools and community development corporations to obtain targeted tax credits for endowments without acknowledgement of the potential to meet their needs through the existing community foundation tax credit. In addition, CMF staff assists Treasury Department staff to insure that the re-certification process is working with certified community foundations that cover all 83 counties. The community foundation tax credit has been included in the new Michigan Business Tax (MBT) that took effect in 2008. However, a new credit for endowment gifts to K-12 education foundations has been added to the section of the MBT covering the community foundations tax credit. Efforts continue to separate this new credit from the community foundation tax credit as part of additional legislation on the MBT. *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 10 PDF File Page 64 of 92 �2. Goal: To oppose efforts by the Greenlining Institute, as they did in California, or other organizations to legislate at the state (or federal) level reporting requirements on diversity for foundations, their grantees and vendors. Explanation: California Assembly Bill 624 would have required all foundations (30) in California with more than $250 million to provide annual documentation on the ethnic diversity of foundation trustees, staff, as well as grantees and vendors. While there was widespread opposition to this Bill, it did pass the Assembly and was withdrawn from consideration only after a group of large private foundations promised to take action on the issue. Staff of the Greenlining Institute of Berkeley California, author of the legislation, has met with Congressman Rangle, Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, to encourage introduction of this legislation at the federal level. The Institute has also indicated that it intends to have this legislation introduced in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas. And the Greenlining Institute has found a receptive legislator in Florida. At the COF 2008 Summit, Congressman Becerra of California stated that Congress needs to be able to justify the $32 billion earmark that is gives for gifts to foundations. While not endorsing this California Bill, he made it clear that diversity is also a matter of class, and he along with others in Congress want to know how foundations are helping the neediest. Through our Diversity and Inclusion Initiative CMF has taken the position to be a leader. Therefore at the May 2008 CMF Board Meeting the following two resolutions were approved. RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations joins with the Northern California Grantmakers, Southern California Grantmakers and San Diego Grantmakersthe three California Regional Associations and the Council on Foundations in opposing California Assembly Bill 624 because this legislation: • ignores the commitment of many of our members to better reflect, represent, and serve all populations through the impact of the operations- governance, staffing, business practices and grantmaking- of organized philanthropy, • mandates the collection of data related to the diversity of our boards, staff and grantees that may be impossible to accurately collect, and • has the potential to both negatively impact the very diverse populations and communities it seeks to serve, and to slow-rather than grow- philanthropy and philanthropy's commitment to serve such populations. RESOLVED further that, in recognition of both CMF' s Board approved Diversity and Inclusion Initiative and the appropriate balance between the voluntary decisions of individual grantmakers with the sector's responsibility to serve the common good and all of society, the Council of Michigan Foundations supports the call to action from the Council on Foundations that all of philanthropy join in a growing commitment to respond to the appropriate concerns about our lack of progress to date and our collective commitment to increasing our value for and leadership to the importance of diversity and inclusiveness in all that we do. *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page II PDF File Page 65 of 92 �3. Goal: Support legislation to simplify the Charitable Solicitations Act. Explanation: Community foundations are required, as well as other charitable nonprofits, to file for an annual solicitation license. The licensing, enforcement, and appeal processes are not considered user friendly by nonprofits and do not reflect the changing cost in fundraising. The Michigan Nonprofit Association is leading the effort on this issue and new legislation is expected in the fall of 2009. The following is a list of the changes that would be beneficial to Michigan's Nonprofit Community by enabling more streamlined processing of files for those charities wishing to solicit donations and more effective enforcement of standards to protect Michigan charities from undue pressures and competition from the few who are " charities" in name only: • Increasing the filing threshold from $8,000 to $25,000, • Changing the processing from a licensing procedure to registration, clarifying that a charity is registered upon filing of the proper information, unless notified of deficiencies. • More effective enforcement provisions to protect the nonprofit community from undue competition from fraudulent fundraising and questionable activities of those organizations that do not operate for the benefit of their constituents. 4. Goal: Support legislation to exempt youth volunteer activities from work permit requirements. Explanation: The work permit requirement does not specifically exempt volunteer activities. Therefore, those minors who perform volunteer work for charitable organizations- such as the estimated 1,500 high school students who volunteer for community foundation youth advisory councils each year, are most likely required to obtain work permits, usually from the school where the minor is enrolled. Legislation is expected to be introduced in September 2009 to amend the Youth Employment Standards Act in order to not discourage young people from volunteering. ONGOING GOALS 1. Goal: Monitor and support the continued granting of property tax exemption by local units of government to foundations and nonprofit charitable organizations. Explanation: CMF, working with partners such as the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), is monitoring cases that could adversely impact foundations where nonprofit organizations are being forced by local tax authorities to appeal their tax exemption status to the State Tax Tribunal, and if needed, consider filing letters of support with the Tax Tribunal. A landmark case in the State of Minnesota adversely impacting a nonprofit day care operator has put this issue on the radar screen of all local taxing entities and nonprofit associations nationwide. *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 12 PDF File Page 66 of 92 �2. Goal: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from individuals. Explanation: Other states have found that a tax deduction mirroring the federal tax code does motivate additional gifts by individuals to charities. While the introduction of legislation in tough economic times is unlikely, the Michigan Nonprofit Association continues to identify this as a legislative priority. 3. Goal: Monitor and report to the state on the use oftobacco settlement funds distributed to certified community foundations in 2001-2003 for health youth and healthy senior purposes. Explanation: Michigan's share of the national tobacco settlement ($206 billion over the next 26 years) between 46 states, five commonwealths and territories and the District of Columbia with five tobacco companies, representing 97.5% of the industry, is $8.3 billion. The master settlement agreement did not specify how states may spend their settlement payments. Between 2001 and 2003 CMF distributed from the state more that $20 million of interest earned on the tobacco settlement funds not used for the Merit Scholarship Program and earmarked annually through the Department of Career Development budget to certified community foundations for both pass through grantmaking and to endow Healthy Youth and Healthy Senior Funds. Because of the State's financial budget problems, no funds were appropriated for this effort in 2004 and 2005. The legislature passed legislation in 2006 with the Governor's support to securitize a major portion of the tobacco settlement to create the 21 st Century Jobs Fund. The balance of the tobacco settlement allocation was securitized by the state in 2007 to balance the budget. However, CMF still requests information annually from the community foundations on the use of the endowed funds they received for healthy youth and healthy senior purposes. 4. Goal: To assist the Charitable Trust Section of the Attorney General's office, an important source of information about charitable giving and the nonprofit sector in Michigan. Explanation: CMF has always worked with the Charitable Trust Section of the Office of the Attorney General. With the election of Attorney General Cox in 2004, CMF and the Michigan Nonprofit Association proposed a more formal relationship to the Attorney General which he approved. As a result, the Nonprofit Council to the Charitable Trust Section, led by his Deputy Attorney General Carol Isaacs, was created. CMF has three representatives on the Council, which is considered a national model and is now being replicated by other Attorneys General. The Committee meets twice a year and assists the Section on issues related to charitable giving and charities. In addition, the staff leader of the Section attends the CMF Annual Conference. This relationship is vital because there are recent cases in which state attorneys general have initiated litigation against foundations for excess compensation and self dealing abuses and there are examples of unfavorable state legislation initiated by attorneys general 5. Goal: To support revisions to the Nonprofit Corporation Act *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 13 PDF File Page 67 of 92 �Explanation: There have been no major amendments to the Act since it was adopted in 1982. A major revision of the Act has been completed by a Taskforce of the State Bar Association with the support ofCMF and MNA. However, due to term limits and the complexity of the total update of the Act, it has been determined to update the Act in stages. The first step was successful passage of SB 123 now Public Act 9 of 2008 effective February 29, 2008 to pennit the use of electronic transmission, such as email, for notices, waivers of notice, proxies, written consents and voting when participating in a meeting by remote communication. These amendments have the potential of streamlining the procedures for providing notices, obtaining signatures for written consents, and conducting meetings. In August 2008 the Governor signed into law HB 5681 which requires a minimum number of three Trustees instead of the present one for a nonprofit corporation, prohibits loans to staff, and requires nonprofits that are dissolving to notify the Attorney General within 60 days and obtain the written approval of the Attorney General for the disposition of assets- three priorities identified by the Nonprofit Panel convened by Independent Sector at the request of Senator Grassley and Senator Baucus. 6. Goal: To provide educational resources to members of the State legislature and the Office of the Attorney General on the issue of donor intent. Explanation: As a result of an investigation into the ford foundation by the Attorney General, HB 6351 was introduced by Representatives Dillon and Huizenga in June 2006 to redefined donor intent as a pattern of grantmaking in the first three years of a found ation' s existence and the specification of a defined place, like the state of Michigan, in the found ing documents. Due to vigorous opposition by CMF, the bill was not considered by a committee. In addition, CMF had two documents prepared, by the law firm Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone PLC during the summer of2006 which were delivered to the two representatives and Deputy Attorney General Isaacs in September 2006. The fi rst document is a review of existing laws that confirm the Attorney General does not need new legislation to oversee donor intent with regard to private foundations. The second document provides an introduction to donor intent from the perspective of a policy maker. Despite these efforts, in September 2006 HB 6535 the Charitable Foundations Accountability Act was introduced by Representative Huizenga without the support of Representative Dillon. CMF indicated its opposition to this bill and provided a Media Response Statement to members should the media ask about it. Representative Huizenga indicated that this Bill would not advance and was only introduced at the request of the Attorney General. There have been no further efforts by the Legislature to deal with the issue of Donor Intent. *Bolded text signifies 2009 update. Page 14 PDF File Page 68 of 92 �7. Goal: To oppose reinstatement of a State Inheritance Tax, repealed in 1993 with support from CMF. Explanation: HB4377 the Michigan Estate tax act was introduced in March 2007 by Representative Paul Condino as part of a strategy to balance the states structural fiscal crisis. While this Bill was not considered by Committee, due to the state's continued structural financial crisis, CMF will monitor efforts to reinstate an Inheritance Tax at the state level. Based on documented data from the early 1990s, fami lies of wealth will transfer their residency to their second homes in places like Florida if such a tax was reinstated. *Bolded text signifies 2009 update.

Trustee Job Description The attached Trustee description has been developed by the Governance Committee after reviewing the job descriptions of eight colleague regional associations of grantmakers. It reflects additional contributions from Trustees Dave Sebastian and Tom Porter. We are seeking your approval in adopting this as our working job description for CMF Trustees. RESOLVED that the amended Trustee job description be adopted. IV. Trustee Terms and Bvlaw Revisions As a result of surfacing more good candidates for the Board than could possibly be considered in one year, the Committee decided that it would be worthwhile to consider reducing the number of terms for Board service. Such a change would hopefully lead to an opportunity for more individuals to serve on the Board. Staff surveyed other regional associations of grantmakers and learned that we are the only regional association of grantmakers that has three three-year terms. The majority have two three-year terms. The Council on Foundations does operate as we do with the three three-year tem1s. The Committee then discussed the issues of Officers tern1s and being able to provide continuity for CMF. The survey of other regional associations confirmed that the majority of Board Chairs serve for two, one-year terms with the best practice being to limit consecutive one-year terms to four. While the Committee discussed in depth the pros and cons of making these changes, there was agreement to present them to the full Board for consideration and action. RESOLVED that the following changes be made to the CMF bylaws. Section 4. Term. Each Trustee elected by the membership shall serve a term of three (3) years. Each Trustee may serve a maximum of three (3) two (2) consecutive three (3) year terms. Trustees appointed by the Board of Trustees to fill unexpired terms, shall stand for election at the annual meeting for which the vacated term was due to expire, and service provided for the unexpired term shall not be counted as an elected tenn. A Trustee serving as an officer may serve up to two additional years in order to complete their service as an officer. Section 2. Election. All officers shall be elected by the Board of Trustees for a term ending at the next annual meeting or until their successors are elected. The Chair may serve two consecutive one-year terms. In order to promote leadership opportunities on the Board, the number of consecutive one-vear terms for other officers shall be limited to four.

On September 2, 2009 the CMF Audit Committee reviewed and accepted the enclosed financial report for the period April 1, 2009 to July 31, 2009. On the Internal Statement of Activities that is attached, you will also find the financial numbers for the period ending September 30, 2009 that have not been reviewed by the Audit Committee. This Statement also includes our projected numbers through the balance of the fiscal year ending March 31,2010. Key Items to Note We are pleased to report that the endowment funds have experienced market gains of $2.9 million through 7-31-09. When the Budget for this year was approved, we had three special revenue items as a goal this year: 1. Member Investment line. $21 ,000 was budgeted for members that would remain at their 200R-09 payment level even though assets had dropped 25%-30% as of 12-3 1-08. A request was included in the membership renewal notice asking members to remain at their 2008-09 dues level, but at this point it appears most members will pay dues based on their actual 12-3 1-08 asset level. 2. Additional Membership Contributions. While a request was included in the membership renewal letters to generate additional contributions of $25,000 it appears contributions in this area will remain at the level generated in 2008-09. 3. Special Project Revenue. On the plus side, we have more than exceeded our goal of $37,000 in staff time being allocated to new Special projects and anticipate that Wages & Benefits will end the year $46,000 under budget due for this reason. This goal has been reached through a combination of our work with the State on Federal Stimulus Initiatives, staff time spent on the Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, and several national initiatives funded by foundations like the Hewlett Foundation and in partnership with the Forum of Regional Association ofGrantmakers. At this point we expect revenue to fall short of budget in the following areas with an overall net loss of approximately $40,000 when the fiscal year ends on March 31, 2010: Line Item Member Investment Additional Member Contributions Investment Income Total Shortfall $20,000 25,000 50,000 $95,000 S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2009-1 0\ 11.5.09 Meeting Materials\CMF Financials 7-31-09.doc PDF File Page 29 of 92 �Core Operations Note 1: Regular Membership & Additional With 83% of membership payments received as of8-14-09, the total reduction in dues from the prior year is at $88,350 vs. a budget of$99,000 for 2009-10. Based on the additional contributions received so far, we expect 2009-10 to come in at the 2008-09 level of $165,000 versus the budget of $190,000.

Note 2: Other Grants The Skillman Foundation approved a one-year renewal to continue its support of the Detroit office at $25,000, with $15,000 received as of mid-July.

CMF 's portion ofthe surplus has been budgeted at $ 100,000, which covers a portion of our staff time to produce the conference. The October 2008 Annual Conference contributed $140,000 towards staff time. Note 4: Investment Income Based on recent conversations with Comerica, money market rates are not expected to increase much in the next six months from the current yield of .25%.

Note 5: Wages The variance from budget is primarily due to the following items: Over (Under) Budget (24,000) 8,000 7,000 Budget Variances CMF Admin Access to Recreation from 08-09 Bonuses paid to staff for 2008-09 surplus Additional time budgeted for special projects In anticipation of another tight financial year for 20 I 0-11 , management decided to pay out bonuses to staffbased on the plan approved by this committee and the CMF board during the 2009-10 budget process. Wages for all staff were frozen for fiscal year 2009-10. The 2008-09 surplus was roughly $61,000 with $10,000 being disbursed in bonuses to staff. Note 6: Equipment & Furniture $5,980 was spent to replace the furniture in the Detroit office due to the water damage in March 2009. The insurance proceeds for this furniture was received in March 2009. Note 7: Communications/Publications The variance is due to the $8,600 paid to the Foundation Center for the 16'h Edition ofthe Michigan Foundation Directory that was budgeted to be paid later in the year. Total expenses for the Directory should fall within budget. William Allen Fundl This fund supports the CMF members' spring legislative trip to Washington DC. Russell G.

Lindberg, Vice President Finance & Administration Re: June 30, 2009 Investment Report The following Resolution is presented for consideration: RESOLVED that the June 30,2009 Investment Report be accepted as presented. On a quarterly basis- most recently September 16, 2009- the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and representatives of its three supporting organizations (Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV), Learning to Give (LTG) and the Council of Michigan Foundations Supporting Organization) meet to review the investment performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds. I. Investment Policy Statement Revision At the September 16, 2009 meeting, the CMF Investment Committee approved modifications to the Investment Policy Statement. The main change as noted from the following section of the Statement will now allow the investment of operating and special project funds in certificates of deposits not to exceed the FDIC limit of $250,000 at any one banlc Due to the low investment returns on money market funds (less than .25%) the committee approved the investment of $1.25 million of the operating/special project funds in CDs with rates ranging from 1.02% for six months to 1.65% for eighteen months. From Investment Policy Statement "IV. OPERATING & SPECIAL PROJECTS FUNDS PURPOSE CMF is an association of foundations and corporations which make grants for charitable purposes. As a membership organization, its mission is to enhance, to improve and to increase philanthropy in Michigan. The purpose of the CMF operating and special projects funds is to finance the daily operations and support the special project work ofCMF. OBJECTIVE The objective is to invest the Operating Fund assets so as to achieve a high degree of safety for the principal value of the assets, while earning a reasonable rate of return available in the market place at the time of investment. Investments should not be made that could jeopardize the flexibility and liquidity of CMF's operations.

While we have shared the results of our Retreat with Melonie and Rob, we want to provide a brief summary from our discussions . We look forward to having these issues included in the Specia l Board Planning Session being considered for January 20 10. Our recommendations include the follow ing highlights: Expanding regional and local networking opportunities for family foundations This recommendation builds on the successful 6 regional meetings held this year with a focus on investment and internet issues. Organize more Affinity Groups and Learning Circles among family foundations This recommendation builds on the success of the " Ready by Five" group o f family foundation s interested in early childhood issues that has led to more effective grantmaking and increased involvement in public policy. Provide a stronger concentrated program for fami ly foun dations at the Annual Conference Despite special efforts like the Family Hospitality Suite, concern has been expressed that the current Annual Conference is too long and too oriented for staffed foundations and therefore family foundations are not able or interested in attending. Strengthen CM F's relationship with Family Foundation Members by providing increased staff and member contact and support This recommendation includes providing a biennia l "boot camp" for new family foundation members and newly established family foundations. Improve web communications in o rder to be more compelling to fami ly foundations This recommendation includes c hanges that would make the benefits of membership clearer on the web s ite and also explore the feas ibility of constructing a generic web site on giving and philanthropy. Develop a consulting support service for fam ily foundations This service would be available to nonmembers as well and hopefully would provide a new revenue source for CMF in providing more intensive services, such as website development, to interested family foundations willing to pay. In conclusion we believe that implementation of these recommendations will contribute to both membership retention and recruitment. We recognize that these recommendations will also require new resources, in addition to the redeployment of existing resources. We left our Retreat energized and look forward to growing CMF's value to family foundations in Michigan.

TMP responds to the Board's: (1) Belief that "diversifying perspectives, talent and experience can help ensure philanthropy's continued leadership in a rapidly changing society"; (2) Directive for CMF to become a more diverse and inclusive membership association and to encourage members to do the same; (3) Support confirmed by resolutions passed in 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2008. CMF is grateful to the Arcus Foundation, Charles Stewart Matt Foundation, Kresge foundation, Skillman foundation and W.K. K ellogg f oundation for their generous support of TMP. On September 29, 2009, CMF held a TMP Retreat to reflect on Year One (2009) implementation to inform Year Two planning. The agenda was designed to address issues raised through 27 interviews conducted by Katherine Pease, Katherine Pease & Associates over the summer. Based on this work, the Initiative Advisory Committee that includes the members of the Governance Committee is requesting support for the following proposed changes to the goal, and four TMP objectives and support for a TMP vision and unified working unified definition of diversity and inclusion. RESOLVED that the following changes to the goal, four objectives and a proposed vision and unified definition of diversity and inclusion for the Transforming Michigan Philanthropy Through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative be adopted as proposed. PDF File Page 5 of 92 �Diversity and Inclusion Repott Page 2 Vision: Goal: Objective 1: Objective 2: Objective 3: Objective 4: New- Be a catalyst for positive social change to transform Michigan communities New- To increase the effectiveness of organized philanthropy in Michigan Prior - To increase the effectiveness of and accountability of organized philanthropy in Michigan New- Become a diverse and inclusive membership association Prior - Become a model regional association and resource to national field New- To increase member awareness and understanding and support voluntary action to become more diverse and inclusive Prior - Increase member awareness, understanding, action in diversity and inclusion and social equity grantmaking New- To help 20 member foundations achieve their goals for diversity and Inclusion Prior - Increase member awareness, understanding, action in diversity and inclusion and social equity grantmaking New- To increase the diversity of individuals serving, leading, governing and advising foundations and corporate giving programs Prior - To increase the diversity of foundation staff, executives and trustees. Unified Definition of diver·sity and inclusion : Inclusive philanthropic organizations seek out and consider the perspectives of diverse individuals to overcome current and historic systemic barriers and exclusion thus ensuring that all individuals have equitable opportunity to participate in society and in philanthropy. Diverse individuals are from different national origins, ethnicities, races, cultures, generations, religions, economic backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations, and with different skills, abilities, lifestyles and beliefs. Background We look forward to discussing these proposed refinements based on lessons learned from our fi rst year of activity. The last part of this proposed unified definition is the current Board Adopted Definition on Diversity. Instead of working with two definitions, the Retreat participants with support from consultant Pease recommended this unified definition. Retreat Participants were: • Advisory Committee Members: italic indicates those also serving as Trustees: Kyle Caldwell, C. David Campbell, Andrew Gatewood, Carol Goss (chair), Johnny Jenkins, Jr., Wes Mauer, Surabhi Pundit, Douglas Bitognti Stewart and Sterling Speirn • Trustees: Susan Broman and Caroline Chambers • Staff: Rob Collier, Kimberly Burton, Mike Goorhouse, Dave Lindberg, Becky Noricks, Chris Polk and Vicki Rosenberg • Evaluator: Teri Behrens, TMP evaluator. There was consensus by Retreat participants to: (1) refine the goal; (2) retain the objectives; (3) draft a vision and unified definition of inclusion that incorporates social PDF File Page 6 of 92 �Diversity and Inclusion Re pott Page 3 equity; (4) add a strategy under objective 1 to engage the nonprofit sector; and (5) form an advisor/trustee/staff Communications Working Group to draft final language for the November 5 Board Meeting. Members Melanie Colaianne, Carol Goss, Johnny Jenkins, Jr., Wes Mauer, Mike Goorhouse, Becky Noricks, Chris Polk and Vicki Rosenberg completed proposed changes.

Colaianne, Chairperson Members of the Board of Trustees From: Caroline Chambers, Chairperson, Corporate Committee Kimberly Burton, Vice President, Corporate Services Re: Report of the Corporate Philanthropy Committee Corporate Committee Goal: To provide resources to CMF Corporate Members that support CMF recruitment and retention goals by enhancing current involvement with Southeast Michigan members formed as the Business Contributions Council (BCC), and bridging connections to enhance outreach among corporate members and prospects in all parts of the State. Business Contributions Council (BCC) Networking opportunity for corporate funders to discuss issues and challenges unique to the corporate giving community. July 29- MGM Grand Hotel and Casino hosted the CMF/BCC bi-monthly luncheon and networking opportunity. Dan Thompson, COO, Michigan Nonprofit Association, made a special presentation on "The State of the Nonprofit Sector in Michigan." Rebecca Noricks, Communications Manager, CMF reported on the first CMF/BCC Corporate Philanthropy Baseline Survey. Thanks to the support of the MGM Grand Hotel, the luncheon was complimentary. Funders attended from across the state including Grand Rapids, Jackson and Midland. September 15 -For the first time since its inception the BCC held its bi-monthly meeting on the western side of the state. Susan Broman, CMF Trustee and BCC members hosted the luncheon at the Steelcase Foundation. Executives from Grand Action and The Right Place Organization, presented on the topics of"Economic Development in Downtown Grand Rapids," and "West Michigan Economic Development- What's Happening and Why ." Attendees also participated in a tour of the Steelcase University Training Center. Thanks to the support of CMF member, The Steelcase Foundation, the luncheon was complimentary. Annual Conference November 6 - The Corporate Funders workshop is entitled "Corporate Philanthropy Programming Best Practices." The guest speaker is Ms. Nicole Robinson, senior manager of focused giving for the Kraft Corporation. Additionally, there will be a roundtable specifically created for corporate funders on "Corporate Liability in Serving on Non Profit Boards."

A Webinar focusing on this topic will also be available to corporate members in early 2010. The law firn1 of Clark, Hill will be faci litating both the annual conference roundtable discussion and webinar. Corporate Foundations and Corporate Giving Program Survey The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) created its first baseline survey for corporate funders in Michigan. The survey was sent to main member contacts at 44 Michigan corporate foundations and giving programs (CMF and/or BCC members). CMF in our neutral capacity collected this information anonymously and presented the overall find ings to the corporate giving community. PDF File Page 91 of 92 �Corporate Philanthropy Report Page2 The survey consisted of 16 brief questions and we are pleased to report that we had a 70% response rate. The complete survey and its results may be found on the CMF website: www.michiganfoundations.org. Examples of survey results: CMF Corporate Members and B CC - Areas of Giving 61% o f respondents- Education 55% of respondents- Civic & Community 55% of respondents - Health & Human Services 48% of respondents- Community Development 45% of respondents - Culture and the Arts 38% of respondents -Youth Efforts 23% of respondents- Economic Development 23% of respondents- Workfo rce Development 14% of respondents - Environment 6% of respondents - Financial Literacy Other Areas of Giving Included: foreclosure mitigation; healthcare; housing; neighborhood revitalization; new technologies; math & science education; technology. The percentage of respondents supporting these areas was minimal. The above results for corporate contributions in Michigan are in direct correlation with corporate giving across the nation. The Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy {CECP) reports that in 2008 the priority areas of giving across the nation were, Health & Social Services, Education : K- 12, Community & Economic Development, Higher Education, Culture & Arts, Civic & Public Affairs, and Environment. As responsible corporate stewards it is important that we continue to support the many issues and challenges of our communities in Michigan while also affecting change nationwide by staying current with corporate giving trends across all states. Corporate Giving Outside of Michigan 45% of respondents - Yes 55% of respondents - No 2008 Corporate Contributions - Giving Budget Ranges (In state and Out of state Contributions) 42% of respondents- $0-$499,999 26% of respondents- $500,000-$2,999,999 13% of respondents - $3,000,000- $4,999,999 16% of respondents - $5,000,000- $6,999,999 3% o f respondents- $7,000,000- $9,999,999 Membership Recruitment and Retention Recruitment and retention continue to be a priority for the corporate committee. Personal one on one visits to corporate members are progressing well and the response has been very positive. Visits have occurred in many areas throughout the state including Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, and Midland. Membership benefits and opportunities are presented to both current, past and prospective corporate members. Additionally funders are informed of upcoming policy briefings on the economy, education and networking opportunities; regional member meetings; and opportunities to connect with legislators.

Advancing giving. PROJECT SUMMARY THE OPPORTUNITY In a time when foundations are being asked to do more, are subject to ongoing scrutiny and threats of government regulation, philanthropy needs to define its value, share stories of impact and equip influential champions. Research conducted in 2006 by PAl indicates that foundations are isolated from influential Americans- the 12% of adults engaged as executives or board members in civic and community organizations. More than 60% of these Americans feel uninformed about the work of foundations and only 15% can give an example of foundation i mpact on their community. Further compounding the problem is the way foundations are perceived and described by the media. According to PAl, 98.6% of media coverage about foundations between 1990 and 2004- nearly 40,000 stories -was transactional in nature, focused on grants awarded and money exchanged versus the benefits or impact of foundation activity. Michigan's philanthropic sector is uniquely positioned to respond to this opportunity through the 3D project because of its well networked members; history of partnering with the public, private and non-profit sectors and higher education to leverage change; engagement in policy reform supported by CMF's Public Policy Committee and Fellow and the Office of Foundation Liaison; and innovative communications about its work. VISION, GOAL & OBJECTIVES Vision: For influentia l leaders in Michigan's public, private and nonprofit sectors and higher education to appreciate the value of and seek partnerships with foundations to solve critical issues in our state. Goal: To design and test a new model for communicating foundations' unique value to influential leaders.
