The Community Research Institute (CRI) at T he Johnson Center for Philanthropy,
Grand Valley State University, will be sending you in the next few weeks a survey
on the demographic makeup of your foundation ' s staff and/or trustees. This survey
is part of a national effort piloted in California by the New York based Foundation
Center earlier this year. The survey will be administered next in New York and
other regions of the country later this year.
The Council of Michigan Foundat ions (CMF) has commissioned the Michigan
survey to contribute to the development of national data on charitable foundations
and for our five-year initiative, Transforming Michigan Philanthropy through
Diversity und Inclusion, approved by the ~oard of Trustees in February 2008 and
supported by a lead grant from The Kresge Foundation.
Foundation demographics have become a focus of philanthropic research in
response to scrutiny by Congress and the media and efforts such as those of the
California based Green lining Institute to introduce legislation requiring
foundations to document the diversity of their board, staff and grantees. While we
do not anticipate such legislation being introduced in Michigan, we need up-todate information on trustee and staff demographics and current diversity policies in
order to respond to questions.
Please be assured that all individual foundation data will be kept strictly
confidential by CRI. Please contact Vicki Rosenberg, vice president education,
communications and external relations at 616.842.7080 or
vrosenberg@michiganfoundations.org with any questions about this important
Survey.
We thank you in advance for helping us collect this important data.

                    <text>Michigan's Foreclosure Crisis Briefing
How Foundations Can Assist Families &amp; Preserve Neighborhoods
June 4, 2008 - 10:00 a.m. to 2:30p.m.
Michigan Room, George W. Romney Building, Lansing
A mortgage crisis is sweeping the nation and in Michigan the problem is even more complex. Over 200,000
Michigan homeowners have subprime mortgages and it's predicted that one-third of these borrowers will lose their
homes to foreclosure.
Our state has experienced several years of economic downturn including high unemp loyment and depressed home
values. Foreclosure's related problems of fami ly upheaval, neighborhood blight and crime have only added to our
economic stresses and challenged our community wellbeing.
Join us for an educational briefing to examine this crisis from multiple perspectives and discuss opportunities for
foundations to assist families and preserve neighborhoods.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Phillip Peters, Audit Committee Chair
David Lindberg

RE:

CMF March 31, 2008 &amp; 2007 Audit Report

The following Resolution is presented for approval.
RESOLVED that the March 31,2008 &amp; 2007 Audit Report be accepted as
presented.
Because the Board Meeting is early this year, the audit report will be delivered at
the CMF Board meeting with a copy sent to all board members following the
meeting.
Differences between Internal Statements and Audited Statements
Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from Kellogg for their additional
membership dues and Skillman for the Detroit office we will have a difference between
the internal and audited statements for CMF Core Operations until both of these grants
end. The accounting rules require multi-year grants to be booked as revenue in the year
the grant commitment was made, even though the revenue supports future year activities.
Grant
Kellogg Additional Member Contribution ($750,000
for 2005-06 to 2009-2010)
Skillman Detroit Office Support ($75,000 2006-07 to
2008-09)

Additional Revenue Booked
Per Internal Statements
$150,000
25,000

For audit report purposes the total amount of both grants were booked as revenue in
2005-06.

�Combined Statement of Financial Position
Cash
The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in cash held for special projects,
primarily the Early Childhood Investment Corporation and Access to Recreation grants
from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
Investments
The establishment of the CMF Core Services Endowment Fund increased investments by
$600,000 for 2007-08, but was offset by the negative investment earnings for the same
period.
Grants Receivable
The decrease from the prior year is due primarily to the balances remaining on the
following grants that were awarded in 2006-07.
Grant
Access to Recreation
Early Childhood Investment Corporation

A/R 3-31-08
$ 1,475,000

Investment Corporation.
Other Liabilities

April I , 2008.
Net Assets- Unrestricted- CMF C ore Services Endowment Fund
This fund was set up in May 2007.
Net Assets- Temporarily Restricted

projects.

awarded in 2006-07:
Access to Recreation
Early Childhood Investment Corporation

$14,767,161
6,339,775

Publications- Expense
The decrease from the prior year is due to The Michigan Foundation Directory which is
produced every other year.

is new in 2007-08.

From:

Rachel Mraz, CMF Trustee and Investment Committee Member and
David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance &amp; Administration

Re:

March 31, 2008, Investment Report

The following Resolution is presented for consideration:
RESOLVED that the March 31, 2008, Investment Report be accepted as presented.
On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committees for the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF), Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV), Learning to
Give (LTG) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment
performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds.
New Business
On May 16, 2008, the Investment Committee will meet to review and approve the
enclosed reports. Since the last CMF Board meeting, the Investment Committee has
continued to explore other real estate investment options with a focus on more globally
based funds that would provide greater diversification in this category.
Alternative vs. Standard Allocation Investment Pools
With the addition of the TIFF and Commonfund alternative products, the CMF
Endowment Pool now has standard and alternative asset allocation pools. The standard
allocation pool is rebalanced on a quarterly basis back to the targeted asset allocation
noted in the attached report. The TIFF investment product rebalancing is handled by
TIFF. The combined allocation of the standard and alternative allocation pools will be
monitored on a quarterly basis by the Investment Committee with adjustments between
the two pools being made as the committee deems appropriate.
The combined investment return for the CMF Standard and Alternative Pools will be
calculated as the various periods become available.
The enclosed Investment Report is presented in two sections.

Investment Performance Comparison Report
In addition to the Cambridge &amp; Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and
foundations, the committee has recently added the TIFF Multi-Asset fund for
comparative purposes. The TIFF product is unique in the fact that it offers smaller
foundations access to alternative investment products which have enhanced returns over
the last several years.
The reason this report lags the CMF Investment Report by one quarter is due to the time
it takes Cambridge to collect the results from the pool participants.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Phillip Peters, Audit Committee Chair
David Lindberg

RE:

CMF March 31, 2008 &amp; 2007 Audit Report

The fo llowing Resolution is presented for approval.
RESOLVED that the March 31,2008 &amp; 2007 Audit Report be accepted as
presented.
Because the Board Meeting is early this year, the audit report will be delivered at
the CMF Board meeting with a copy sent to all board members following the
meeting.
Differences between Internal Statements and Audited Statements
Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from Kellogg for their additional
membership dues and Skillman for the Detroit office we will have a difference between
the internal and audited statements for CMF Core Operations until both of these grants
end. The accounting rules require multi-year grants to be booked as revenue in the year
the grant commitment was made, even though the revenue supports future year activities.
Grant
Kellogg Additional Member Contribution ($750,000
for 2005-06 to 2009-201 0)
Skillman Detroit Office Support ($75,000 2006-07 to
2008-09)

Additional Revenue Booked
Per Internal Statements
$150,000
25,000

For audit report purposes the total amount of both grants were booked as revenue in
2005-06.

�Combined Statement of Financial Position

The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in cash held for special projects,
primarily the Early Childhood Investment Corporation and Access to Recreation grants
from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

Investments
The establishment of the CMF Core Services Endowment Fund increased investments by
$600,000 for 2007-08, but was offset by the negative investment earnings for the same
period.

Grants Receivable
The decrease from the prior year is due primarily to the balances remaining on the
fo llowing grants that were awarded in 2006-07.

2009 Annual Conference and Update on 2008 Annual Conference - Achieving
Michigan's Transformation- Sunday through Tuesday, Oct. 12-14, 2008- Grand Rapids

I. 2009 ANNUAL CONFERENCE - An Opportunity Not to Be Missed!

Independent Sector (IS) is holding its Annual Conference on Wednesday, November 4 - Friday, November 6,
2009 at the Marriott Detroit. Mariam Noland, president ofthe Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan,
and Debbie Dingell from General Motors will be chairing the Host Committee. In preparation a number of
Michiganders including Dave Egner and Rob Collier have been added to the Program Committee for the IS
2008 Conference in Philadelphia.
Initial discussions have been held with Diana Avia, president of IS, and her staff to discuss partnership
opportunities, and they are interested in moving forward with a framework reflected in the following
resolution that is proposed for your approval. Ms. Aviv and her team recognize that: CMF will need to start
on Election Day, that CMF will promote the last day of the IS Conference in a joint registration package to
CMF members, and that CMF needs to meet its financial goals for the Annual Conference. We feel that this is
a special opportunity to be pursued.
RESOLVED that the 2009 Annual Conference ofCMF be scheduled for Tuesday afternoon,
November 3 through Thursday afternoon, November 5 in Detroit with joint programming with
Independent Sector on Wednesday afternoon, November 4 through Thursday afternoon,
November 5.
II. 2008 Annual Conference Update
The 36'h Annual Conference planning is well underway by an excellent Conference Committee co-chaired
by Milt Rohwer, Frey Foundation and CMF trustees Caroline Chambers, Comerica Charitable Foundation
and Rachel Mraz, Eileen and Brian DeVries Family Foundation. CMF trustee David Sebastian is chairing a
Grand Rapids Subcommittee planning six outstanding site sessions.
This year's theme - Achieving Michigan's Transformation- continues the focus begun last year with a shift
from need to achievement. Attachment One is a list of the Committee members.
The Conference program is being designed to support the achievement of our goals to:
• Design an event that recognizes, honors and welcomes all patt icipants
• Provide participants with opportunities to reflect, refresh, and network with peers: be exposed to the latest
knowledge and issues facing phi lanthropy; and learn at least one new skill or resource to help them be
more effective.
• Attract 310 full and 240 partial registrations
• Secure $165,000 in sponsorships and $26,000 in exhibitor fees
We are pleased to have the following sponsors confirmed but need your help in promoting more:
Clark Hill
$ 2,500
Comerica

response to 2007 evaluations, the schedule has been redesigned to:
Start at 4:00p.m. on Sunday with no pre-conference activities,
Offer a Newcomers Orientation
End at 4:00p.m. on Tuesday after the final Plenary starting at 2:30p.m.
Add a track of community foundation sessions that run throughout the Conference
Pilot Bring an Emerging Leader opportunity

Conference sessions and workshops will focus on:
• Priority public policy issues including: healthcare reform, sustainable school-community partnerships, the
impact of climate change on the Great Lakes and reviving Michigan' s economy
• Skill building including: administration, advocacy, communications, diversity and inclusion, governance,
grantmaking and investments
The Conference Committee has had its two meetings and final work on the sessions is now underway.
We encourage you to use the Save the Date card in the front pocket to invite a nonmember of CMF to the
Conference. Our goal is to have the Conference Registration brochure in the mail in early June. We look
forward to providing a verbal update on p lenary speakers at the Board Meeting.

Memo to:

Rob Collier, President and Dave Lindberg, Vice President

Re:

Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to allow for
electronic communication

Recent amendments to the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act (the "Act") now permit
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.
The following Resolution and amended Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws that are
attached as prepared by legal counsel, Clark Hill PLC, are recommended by the
Executive Committee fo r your consideration and approval.
RESOLVED that the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws be amended as attached
and prepared by legal counsel to respond to changes in the Michigan Nonprofit
Corporation Act to allow for electronic communication.

Background
As used in the Act, "electronic transmission" refers to any form of communication that 1)
does not directly involve the physical transmission of paper; 2) creates a record that may
be retained and retrieved by the recipient; and 3) may be directly reproduced in paper
form by the recipient through an automated process. Common examples include email
and fax.
Members (or shareholders) and directors (or trustees) must authorize the electronic
transmission of notices or communication to them. The simple act of providing the
organization with an email address, for example, would constitute authorization.
In order to utilize the convenience of electronic transmission, authorization in the articles
or bylaws may be required. It is our view that action of members may be taken in only

one of two ways - by vote at a meeting or by written consent. The amendments to the
Act address both of these.
Electronic transmission may also be used to provide notices of meetings, submit proxies
or written consents to the organization, or to waive notice of a meeting. Neither the
articles nor the bylaws need to specifically authorize these uses of electronic
transmission. However, depending on how the articles and bylaws are currently written,
clarification may be appropriate.

�Amendments to Articles &amp; Bylaws

Members may now vote in "real time" by electronic transmission. This would only arise
in cases where members are participating in a meeting by remote communication such as
If the organization desires to hold member meetings by remote
a webinar.
communication and the members to vote by electronic transmission, it must be authorized
by the bylaws. If the members are voting for directors by electronic transmission, the
provision must be included in the articles of incorporation.
Action by written consent by fewer than all members must still be specifically authorized
by the articles. Membership organizations may authorize action to be taken without a
meeting and without a vote, if a consent in writing (which now includes email), setting
forth the action to be taken is authorized by the members having not less than the
minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or take action at a meeting at which all
members entitled to vote were present and voted.
Membership organizations that wish to take advantage of this provision and do not
currently have this provision in their articles, must amend their articles. These consents
would allow members to elect directors without holding an annual meeting if a list of
directors is submitted along with the written consent to members. Members could review
the list of directors nominated for election, indicate their selection of directors and return
the consent by mail or electronically. The consents would be tallied just as if a ballot
vote had been taken and directors elected. The election would be valid only if the
minimum number of votes were received.
Board action electronically or by fax still requires unanimous written consent (affirmative
response by 100% of the board).

�Board Agenda Summary
May 20, 2008
Page 2

RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations joins with the Northern
California Grantmakers, Southern California Grantmakers and San Diego
Grantmakers - the 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.
RESOLVED that CMF support HB 5681, sponsored jointly by Majority Floor Leader
Steve Tobocman and Representative Bill Huizenga, to amend the Michigan Nonprofit
Corporation Act to accomplish the following:
•

The board of directors of a nonprofit corporation would need at least three
directors. Currently, the act requires "one or more" directors. Under the bill, an
existing corporation would need to have at least three directors beginning 180
days after the bill's effective date.

•

A corporation that is a "charitable purpose corporation" could not provide
loans to or guarantee an obligation of an officer or director of the corporation or
a subsidiary, unless the officer or director is also a client of the corporation and
the loan or guaranty is necessary to carry out the corporation's charitable
purposes.

•

A charitable purpose corporation that is dissolved would have to provide notice
of the dissolution to the attorney general within 60 days after the date of
dissolution and could not dispose of any of its assets without written approval of
the attorney general.

VII. Public Policy Committee- Dave Egner &amp; Jaclyn Miel-Uken
RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations support HB 6025
&amp; 6026 and SB 1287 that would provide Michigan residents with an income
tax check off option to voluntarily donate to the United Way.

Council of
Michigan
Foundations

Serving grantmaker5. Advancing giving.

February 1, 2008
Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson and Members of the Board ofTrustees

From:

Rob Collier, President

Re:

President's Report

I am taking a new approach to the President's Report in 2008 by organizing it around our six core goals
that serve as the basis for our Strategic Plan. As noted in the Agenda, I will ask:
Carol Paine McGovern to report on the Government Relations Committee under Advocacy,
Kathy Ginocchio to remind us of the value ofmichiganfoundations.org under Educate,
Dave Egner and Jaclyn Miel-Uken to report on the Public Policy activities under Lead, and
Caroline Chambers and Rachel Mraz to comment on the Annual Conference under Network.
As usual there is so much to share.

I. ADVOCACY
STRATEGY- To advocate for goals in Legislative Statement supporting a legislative and
regulatory environment conducive to philanthropy

January 22, 2008 - Government Relations Committee Conference Call
The Committee met with members ofCMF's affinity group Funders Concerned about Michigan's
Economy to be briefed by Duane Tamacki and colleagues from Clark Hill and Becky Bechler, lobbyist
from Public Affairs Associates, on the proposed amendment to the State's Limited Liability Act for
creation of a Low-profit Limited Liability Corporation (L3C). Attached are three documents from Clark
Hill- a memo describing what an L3C is, an email offering two examples of how it could be used by
foundations, and the draft Bill language. The CMF Board approved this as a goal at last October's Board
Meeting.
There was consensus by all on the call that CMF should go forward in introducing the legislation. Since
the call, with Becky Bechler's help, I have met with Senator Jason Allen, Chair of the Commerce
Committee, who has agreed to introduce the Bill. While he is making it a priority, testimony before his
Committee is unlikely before March.
March 4-5, 2008 - Foundations on the Hill
Also attached is the information on Foundations on the Hill. We are excited about having a special tour
at the Museum of the American Indian to start our Hill visits. With extension of the IRA Charitable
Rollover, the domestic Hedge Fund issue, the L3C legislation noted above, and the Donor Advised Fund
Report from the Treasury, there is plenty to discuss with our Members of Congress. We are pleased to
have nearly 30 registered, but are seeking more CMF members to join us from targeted Districts.

II. EDUCATE
STRATEGY - To provide programs, resources and technical assistance

�President's Report
February 2008
Page 2

November 12, 2007 - Family Philanthropy Symposium
CMF, in partnership with the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, was delighted to host 25
family philanthropists for one of the ten nationwide "conversations" on the challenges and opportunities
of family philanthropy. Led by Ginny Esposito, the founder and president of The National Center for
Family Philanthropy, the series of mini-symposia, marking the Center's l01h anniversary, will culminate
in a national symposium and book in 2008.
November 13, 2007- Green Collar Jobs and Clean Technology Innovation
Forty participants came to hear Lauren Bigelow, Managing Director of the Cleantech Network™, talk
about creating new green collar jobs and their potential for encouraging economic development in
Michigan based on principles of sustainability. The moderator was Oran Hesterman, Fair Food
Foundation.
December 11, 2007- The Arts: Venerable and Vulnerable
Seventy-seven grantmakers gathered at the Detroit Institute of Arts to learn about the innovative
solutions that the region's arts organizations are developing in order to sustain their work in this most
challenging of economic times. Following a welcome by Graham Beal, Director of the DIA, speakers
included Steve Hamp, Chair, and Maud Lyon, Founding Director of the Cultural Alliance of
Southeastern Michigan; and Mike Latvis, Director of Advocacy, ArtServe Michigan. The moderator
was Douglas Bitonti Stewart, Max M. &amp; Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation.
January 8, 2008 - Michigan First Health Plan
Janet Olszewski, Director, Michigan Department of Community Health, presented an update of
Governor Granholm's 2006 Michigan First Health Plan that would harness state, federal and private
resources to give over 500,000 uninsured Michigan citizens access to affordable private health care.
Forty-nine grantmakers joined in this important discussion of health care in Michigan. The moderator
was Elizabeth Greaves-Hoxsie, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation.
November 15, 2007- January 10, 2008 - Family Philanthropy Teleconference Series
The following topics were featured in the monthly teleconference series which is free to CMF members:
The Giving Family: Involving Children in the Family's Philanthropy (Nov. 15, 2007)
Understanding the Impact of Family Philanthropy (Dec. 13, 2007)
The Lawyer Is In: Legal Issues for Family Foundations (Jan. 10, 2008)
January 14-15 -What's Role Got to Do With it?. Kalamazoo
Twenty-seven members participated in "What's Role Got To Do With it?,", a workshop led by Jan Jaffe,
project leader, GrantCraft and Bill Ryan, Hauser Center, Harvard University. Participants ranged from
newly hired program officers to foundation CEOs. 80% of participants gave this highly interactive
workshop ratings of excellent or very good in tenns of its usefulness in increasing the effectiveness of
their work.
We are grateful to The Fetzer Institute which provided housing, meals and meeting space for the
workshop and the Retreat Reunion discussed below at Seasons, the Institute's retreat center in
Kalamazoo.

�President's Report
February 2008

January 15-17- Heart of Philanthropist Retreat Reunion, Kalamazoo
Five members and Vicki Rosenberg participated in a reunion of participants in the Heart ofthe
Philanthropist Retreat series conducted by The Fetzer Institute and CMF from 2002 through 2004. The
original series, based on a model used with K-12 teachers across the country, was designed to teach
participants to be reflective about their work and to strengthen connections between their personal and
professional lives to improve the quality of both.
January 14-18- YAC Advisor Roundtable Discussions
Fifty Y AC Advisors, representing over forty community foundations, engaged in the 2008 YAC
Advisor roundtables. Over the course of the week, three Experienced YAC Advisor calls were offered
as well as two New YAC Advisor calls. Participants shared success stories and brainstormed ideas for
how to meet the Best Practices. Mike Goorhouse presented an overview of opportunities for
collaboration and training during the 2008 calendar year, and reviewed state-wide goals for the
Michigan Community Foundations Youth Project (MCFYP).
January 31 - SE Michigan Program Officers' Roundtable luncheon
The January Program Officers ' luncheon was hosted by the Community Foundation for Southeast
Michigan (CFSEM). Participants learned about the unprecedented growth experienced by CFSEM,
increasing its grantrnaking from $25 million in 2006 to over $45 million in 2007, where the growth is
coming from and the new projects being developed as a result.
February 2-3 -Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project (MCFYP) Committee Retreat
The MCFYP Committee, comprised of twelve youth and three advisors fro m Community Foundation
Y ACs, met face-to-face at the Sherman Lake YMCA camp for their annual retreat. They spent time

developing facilitation and board service skills while establishing the goals and objectives for state-wide
technical assistance. In addition, the committee began to plan the content for the 2008 Youth
Grantrnakers Summer Leadership Conference to be held June 27-29 at the University of Michigan.
They were honored to have been joined by Russ and Lou Ann Mawby for dinner on February the
second.
www.michiganfoundations.org
Redesigned with more resources, new functionality, a sophisticated new look and a brand new name,
CMF's web site- michiganfoundations.org- officially launched in late fall 2007. Developed as part of
the Forum of Regional Associations ofGrantmakers' Knowledge Management Initiative, it is the first
fully-integrated web site to launch on the shared software platform. Several other regional associations
of grantmakers will follow in our footsteps later this spring. Altogether, almost half of the regional
associations in the country are contributing to the software and development costs for a shared member
database, website development platform, and comprehensive knowledgebase of resources for
grantmakers.
Highlights:
• Knowledgebase- the best resources from the network of 32 regional associations and other
• Enhanced Member Directory - expanded search criteria and access to CMF member individuals
• Online event registration and purchasing of CMF publications- secure, flexible, convenient
• Individual member access - members can update their contact information, communications
preferences, and create their own username and password
• Automated usernan1e and password retrieval system

�President's Report
February 2008
Page4

Since launch, hundreds of members have registered for events, accessed member-only materials and
contacted colleagues through these new functionalities resulting in a decrease in CMF staff time
fom1erly needed to manage these transactions. During December 2007 and January 2008, Kathy
Ginocchio, director of technology, hosted two members-only orientations to the new web site. Similar
training will be offered as CMF adds additional enhancements such as shared work spaces for members.
III. INCREASE
STRATEGY- To provide programs, resources and technical assistance to build the capacity of
community foundations
In February, over 50 community foundation CEOs from Ohio and Michigan will attend the 3rd Annual
joint retreat to be held in Detroit. Topics for this year's retreat include the Transfer of Wealth Analysis,
Access to Recreation, and Civic Capacity and Cultural Competency.

In March, Michigan community foundation Program Officers w ill gather in Kalamazoo, MI for their
retreat
IV. LEAD
STRATEGY- To educate members through programs and resources
Enclosed is a two-page report from The Public Policy Committee
STRATEGY- To contribute to national and global dialogues on advancing community
philanthropy
Donnell Mersereau presented at two Transatlantic Community Foundation Network (TCFN) Peer
Exchanges since our last board meeting.
The first TCFN Peer Exchange in Victoria, B.C. in November 2007 focused on community indicators as
a unique way to inform community foundation grantrnaking and their role in the community. The overall
learning objective was to identify key requirements for an effective indicator program. Issues studied
were data collection and interpretation, indicator selection, community consultation and engagement,
publication of indicator reports as well as the subsequent evaluation process. Participants from Canada,
the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany
discussed these issues on the basis of individual case studies. Donnell Mersereau presented NOVAH© a
new- patent-pending- project of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation in Michigan and the
Community Impact curriculum created by the MCFV R&amp;D Incubator. Discussion at the Peer Exchange
showed that indicators are an excellent way of understanding what is happening and what is important in
local communities. Donnell remained in Victoria to lead a strategic planning session with the staff and
board of trustees of the Victoria Community Foundation.
"From Donor Services to Donor Engagement" was the theme of the second TCFN Peer Exchange
which took place in Bruges, Belgium in November, 2007. The meeting was hosted by the Community
Foundation West-Flanders (Streek Fonds West-Vlaanderen) and focused on strategies for emerging
community foundations to approach and engage donors. Donnell Mersereau's presentation focused on
how board members of a community foundation can be engaged and motivated to play an active role in
this process. Participants from the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Poland, Latvia,

�President's Report
February 2008
Page 5

Spain, Belgium and Germany presented several case studies that addressed these issues and further
explored them in small breakout groups and plenary discussions. Discussions were further enriched by
the active participation of several board members of the Community Foundations West-Flanders who
shared their views and experience as ambassadors of the community foundation.
Donnell was invited to represent MCFV on the Council on Foundation's (COF) Knowledge
Management Exploration Team. Knowledge management is the process by which an organization
captures, analyzes, and makes available intellectual capital in and among organizations. Improving
knowledge management and encouraging cooperation among foundations have been identified as central
to the strategic goals of the COF's Community Foundation Leadership Team (CFLT). According to the
CFLT 2007-2010 Plan of Action, community foundations "need an effective vehicle for mutual learning
and collective impact" and should "act as a field by coordinating and linking their work." The
Knowledge Management Exploration Team met in Washington DC in November to help CFLT to
effectively connect community foundations and ensure that the field is moving forward together through
collaboration and information-sharing.
In February, Donnell Mersereau, in partnership with MCFV and Ohio Grantmakers' Forum, will work
with COF staff to process over 100 Community Foundation National Standards submissions for
compliance. Immediately following her week in DC, Ms. Mersereau will travel to Indianapolis, IN to
participate in a strategic planning session for COF's Standards Action Team to revamp National
Standards for the re-certification process in 2010.

IV. NETWORK
STRATEGY - To provide programs and resources
36111 Annual Conference, October 12-14,2008, Grand Rapids
We have advanced the planning process for the Annual Conference with leadership from CMF trustees,
Caroline Chambers and Rachel Mraz and member Milt Rohwer who are serving as co-chairs. The
conference will continue to focus on Transforming Michigan with a new subtitle developed to reflect the
proactive leadership foundations are taking.
The first Meeting of the Conference Committee was held on January 29. An eye-catching save-the-date
card (copy in the back pocket of your Board notebook) has already been mailed to about 5,000
foundation staff and trustees. The Capitol Steps have been retained for our Opening night event at the
Amway Grand. The Grand Rapids Art Museum will be the site for the Monday evening event. Our goal
is to have the Conference registration brochure mailed in May- two months ahead of last year's
schedule.
The Conference goals are to:
o Provide participants 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 to help
them be more effective.
o Design an event that recognizes, honors and welcomes all participants in line with our goals for
cultural competency
o Attract 310 full and 240 paid registrations
o Secure $165,000 in sponsorships and $26,000 in exhibitor fees. (Draft sponsor and exhibitor fonns
are included in the back pocket)

�President's Report
February 2008
Page 6

The conference schedule has been redesigned to begin with an opening keynote at 4:00pm on Sunday,
October 12 and to end by 3:45pm on Tuesday, October 14, 2008. The Board Meeting will still take place
on Monday afternoon, October 13.
Conference planning and implementation is being handled by a team with roles are as follows:
• Kathy Ginocchio, logistics
• David Lindberg, sponsorship and exhibitor recruitment
• Becky Noricks, marketing
• Vicki Rosenberg, program

Philanthropy 3D Project/Michigan
Work has begun on the 3D Project with the November 2007 receipt of funding from the The David &amp;
Lucille Packard Foundation ($75,000) and the Forum ofRegional Associations ofGrantmakers
($20,000). The project is a research and development project of the Philanthropy Awareness Initiative
(P AI) and a partnership with the Donors Forum of Wisconsin and Indiana Grantmakers Alliance.
Through 3D, CMF will develop and test a strategy for improving influential state leaders' understanding
and appreciation for the knowledge resources foundations offer to solving critical issues. The focus of
the pilot is increasing Michigan 's economic competitiveness. The project bu ilds on the history of
foundation-state relationships and partnerships as exemplified in the relationship building, knowledge
sharing, strategy development and mutual leadership for early childhood. The project evaluation will be
conducted by the Community Research Institute at the Johnson Center.

Memo to:

Members of the Board ofTrustees

From:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson, Rob Collier, and Dave Lindberg

Re:

2008 Proposed Plan of Work

The following Resolution is presented for your consideration and approval.
RESOLVED that the 2008 Plan of Work, as reviewed by the Executive and Audit Committees, be
approved as presented - a copy of which is enclosed.
Background
Enclosed is a BIG one page summary of the Plan of Work that indicates both Highlights this year and proposed
NEW Activities for the 2008 year. We will have a PowerPoint presentation at the Board Meeting so do not
strain your eyes with the fine print.
This Plan of Work is built on the Board approved Strategic Plan. As indicated in the Minutes ofthe Executive
Committee, there are no substantive changes in the goals, objectives and strategies.
The key points from the standpoint of resources are:
•
•

•

Staff will be added to handle corporate services and the Diversity and Inclusion Initiative.
While a regional approach is going to be taken to reinvigorating the Membership Committee, outside
grant support will be needed for the positions of Vice President Membership and West Michigan Family
Foundations Coordinator.
The Office of the Foundation Liaison will need to be refinanced in order to continue beyond October I,
2008

But CMF has a long track record of leveraging resources. As we begin our 361h year, the opportunities to bring
increased value to our members through the partnerships in this Plan are exciting. After the Plan of Work you
will find a summary of key partners: BoardSource, GrantCraft, GEO, the Diversity in Philanthropy Project and
the Johnson Center.
We look forward to discussing this Plan of Work with you.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier
David Lindberg

RE:

Proposed Membership Investment Increase 2009-10

The following resolution is proposed for your consideration and approval.
RESOLVED, that, as recommended by the Audit and Executive Committees, a ten
percent increase in the membership dues be implemented for the 2009-10 fiscal year
starting Apri11, 2009.
Background

The last increase in membership dues became effective with the fiscal year starting April
1, 2004. At that time it had been nine years since a dues increase, so a 20% increase was
instituted to make up for the lack of adjustments over the years. After reviewing the
latest three year projection, a copy of which is attached, management is recommending a
10% dues increase effective April1, 2009.
Action on this recommendation is being requested now to allow sufficient time for the
Membership Committee to examine the Dues Structure and bring proposed changes to
the Board of Trustees in May, and the Communications Task Force has time to develop a
communications plan for the staff to implement at the October Annual Meeting.
Projection 2009-10 to 2011-12

Key items to note in the attached three-year projection:
Membership Investment
The current dues are projected to increase approximately $30,000 per year assum ing net
new members plus the increase in members' asset levels.
Additional Member Contributions
This projected budget assumes that the $150,000 form the W.K. Kellogg Foundation will
continue beyond 2009-10, the last year of the current five-year grant.

Other Grants - Detroit Office
The current grant from the Skillman Foundation ends in 2008-09. The current projection
assumes a replacement grant of$25,000 per year is secured for the next three years.
Publications
The attached projection assumes the Michigan Foundation Directory is now produced
every third year.
Wages &amp; Benefits
2009-10 is the last year of the three-year phase in period for the salary adjustments
recommended as a result of the Mercer compensation study.

MEMORANDUM

PLC

ATT ORNEYS

A T

LAW

TO:

Council of Michigan Foundations Government Relations Committee

FROM:

RobertS. Collier
Duane L. Tarnacki

Date:

January 9, 2008

Subject:

Low-Profit Limited Liability Company

It has been proposed that the Michigan Limited Liability Company Act (the "Act") be
amended to introduce a new fonn of limited liability company, the "Low-Profit Limited Liability
Company" ("L3C"). The creation ofL3Cs is expected to encourage investment in struggling
industries and allow for flexibility with regard to organizational structure. Although some states
have considered adopting this legislation, Michigan may be the first. The purpose of this
Memorandum is to address the key characteristics of the L3C and outline its benefits.
1.

First, what is a limited liability company?

A limited liability company is a popular investment vehicle that combines the benefits of
a corporation with the benefits of a partnership. Like a corporation, the potential liability of
investors is limited to their investment in the limited liability company. Like a partnership, there
is no tax paid by the limited liability company. Any taxes are assessed on the investors,
eliminating double taxation.
2.

What is an L3C?

The L3C is a special type of limited liability company created to enhance the flow of
philanthropic investments and economic development activities such as creating jobs in
economically depressed areas or supporting community revitalization. It would function as a
type of limited liability company, intended to generate modest profit while carrying on a
business that has a charitable purpose.
The proposed legislation would require an L3C to engage in business activities that
significantly further a charitable purpose and that have only the incidental goal of producing
income or capital appreciation. The actual investment can take the form of a purchase of stock
or other equity security, a loan, a loan guaranty, or any other investment that will further the
investor's purpose. A foundation's investment in an L3C would constitute a program related
investment by satisfying certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The
L3C would retain the flexible ownership structure of a traditional limited liability company,
while providing a good vehicle for mixing different types of investors and social missions.

Who can invest in an L3C?
•

individuals interested in social investing

•

governments interested in promoting community development

•

for-profit business organizations

•

private foundations

•

community foundations

•

other public charities

Why establish an L3C?

As an alternative to grantmaking, private foundations may make investments in the L3C
which qualify as program-related investments ("PRis"). PRis are IRS sanctioned investments
made by foundations to support charitable activities and that involve the potential return of
capital over some period of time. Proposed language to amend the Act (see Exhibit A) and
introduce the L3C in Michigan would track IRS regulations regarding PRis so that a private
foundation ' s investment in an L3C would be a qualifying distribution for purposes of the Code's
5% minimum distribution requirement. Add itionally, investments in L3Cs would not be
included in a foundation' s asset base for purposes of calculating minimum investment return,
would not be considered business holdings for purposes of the excess business holdings
prohibition and would not be considered jeopardizing investments.
By introducing the L3C as a type of limited liability company in Michigan, certain legal
fees, organizational costs and time constraints associated with PRis can be eliminated. In the
past, foundations have spent significant sums in legal costs and fees to obtain private letter
rulings from the IRS (which can take many months to process) to determine whether a
foundation' s investment complies with the IRS regulations for PRis. However, once the
proposed state legislation is enacted to establish this new form oflimited liability company, it is
anticipated that the Internal Revenue Service and/or Congress can be approached to issue a
formal ruling that the L3C meets its PRI requirements. Foundations will save time and money
know ing that their proposed investment qualifies as a PRI, rather than seeking approval of each
investment through a private letter ruling. The ultimate effect of the legislation would be to
provide nonprofit organizations with a cost-effective and time-saving approach to furthering
their charitable purposes.

To: Collier, Rob

Cc: Minkus, Daniel H.; Kopietz, Joseph S.; Deldin, Deanna M.
Subject: L3Cs--examples
Rob,
You have asked how we would anticipate that private foundations would utilize low-profit limited liability companies (L3Cs) in
connection with program-related investments. In what we would characterize as the "typical" use, a private foundation would come
together with other foundations or public charities and possibly private investors to jointly invest in this vehicle. The party who
takes the lead in the project would likely be the party establishing the L3C. So, depending on the nature of the project and who
initiated it, it could be the public charity, the foundation or a for -profit partner.
Projects that would probably benefit most from the L3C structure would be community or economic development projects often
where for-profit investors are interested in participating.One concrete example would be an affordable housing project where you
have a for-profit developer (often, the general contractor), a community development corporation which is a public charity nonprofit
and "sponsor" of the affordable housing project, a bank interested in meeting its Community Reinvestment Act requirements, the
Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) providing a loan to the project and a grant from the county or other local government
agency. The common investment vehicle used for a project like this today is often a limited partnership or an LLC. The L3C would
serve as a much more desirable vehicle because it would allow private foundation investment without the necessity of the
foundation obtaining a private letter ruling.
In this example, the CDC would establish the L3C and would likely serve as the manager of the L3C and oversee the daily
operations of the project. Through an operating agreement, the investors (as members) could negotiate various aspects of the
project and investment, including details regarding the management of the L3C and how any return on investment would be
allocated. If the private foundation invested in the L3C as a member, it would have a vote or right to have input over management
of the L3C. In short, being a member of the L3C provides an ownership interest and some measure of management control.
Depending upon the project, and depending upon the principal interests of the CDC in the project, the CDC could elect what level
of "economic" interest to have -- or to have an entirely "non-economic" interest, reserving its role to that of having only a
management or "veto power" type of interest in the project.
Incidentally, because of the fit between L3Cs and affordable housing projects, we believe two potential partners who would support
this legislation would be the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan and the Community Development
Association of Detroit.
Another example might be where a group of private foundations and other investors were interested in providing mezzanine
financing to promote market rate housing redevelopment in an urban area by helping to combat community deterioration and urban
decay. We are aware of at least one situation where a foundation affiliated with a civic organization created a fund to promote
housing rehabilitation in a blighted downtown neighborhood. In that case, the civic foundation created it as a segregated fund and
various corporations and private foundations made grants to capitalize the fund which loans money to for-profit developers to
complete financing for housing rehabilitation projects. Had the L3C been available when this fund was created it would have
provided the ideal vehicle for accomplishing the project because it would insulate the civic foundation from any potential liability
arising from the program. It would also allow the grantors the opportunity to take an equity interest with the prospect for return of
capital and some appreciation rather than being limited to grants (or loans) .
Another likely use would be a situation in which two public charities agree to enter into a joint venture to undertake a new
activity. Under current law, the charities would probably incorporate a new nonprofit corporation which requires filing an exemption
application and obtaining an IRS determination letter for the joint subsidiary. Alternatively, they could choose to form an LLC, but,
under existing law, the Articles of Organization must recite a "business" purpose. Michigan law does not provide for "non-profit
LLCs." Given the character of the investment by the public charities, the reference to a "business purpose" can be
problematic. Currently, the State will not accept Articles of Organization which describe the purpose as satisfying
charitable standards under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The L3C should solve this issue as the proposed
amendments to the statute specifically address the qualification of an LLC formed for the purposes identified by the Code. As
such, the charity partners would enjoy limited liability and an exemption application would not be required for recognition of
501 (c)(3) status. Moreover, they would be able to maintain more direct involvement in the project to ensure that it proceeds as
intended

DIVERSIFYING ouR EcoNOMY, EDUCATING ouR PEOPLE

Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Budget

overnor Jennifer M. Granholm's 2009 Executive Budget builds on the hard work and
important progress we have made over the last five years. By focusing on citizens' most
important priorities -jobs, education, health care and public safety -this budget will help make
Michigan a great place to live, learn and earn.

G

Since 2000, Michigan has struggled with an auto industry in transition and economic challenges
brought on by globalization, unenforced trade agreements and federal policies that have been
indifferent to both the needs of our manufacturers and our families. As a result, the state has lost
more than 400,000 jobs and experienced a sharp revenue decline.
This protracted economic crisis has produced a severe fiscal crisis. Since taking office, Governor
Granholm has resolved nearly $6 billion in budget deficits, making more than $3 billion in budget
cuts - more than any governor in Michigan's history!
In 2007, the on-going budget challenges soared higher. Held together for several years by onetime funding sources and short-term financial strategies, Michigan's options to balance the budget
were shrinking at a time of increasing demands and falling revenues.
Last year's economic crisis presented us with a choice. We could choose to cut our way to the
bottom - slashing services and hurting families. Or we could choose to invest in our people to
build the future for Michigan we all want. We chose wisely. We chose Michigan's future.
The comprehensive solution reached after months of difficult and often frustrating negotiations
prevented massive cuts to health care, education and public safety. We avoided pushing
problems into future years and instead took steps to put our state budget back on solid financial
footing. As a result, we can focus this year on jumpstarting Michigan's economy.
Like the current budget, the fiscal year 2009 budget recommendation is a comprehensive proposal
that w ill build on the progress made last year in reducing spending and reforming government
while investing in the things that make us competitive. This year' s recommended budget
includes no new taxes and no new fees.

�Addressing Michigan's Structural Budget Challenge
ntering 2007, the structural imbalance in
Michigan's budget was no secret. For nearly
a decade, economic growth had been stagnant
leaving revenues well below expected levels. A
series of on-going tax cuts also contributed to
the decline. A Consensus Revenue Estimating
Conference, held in May 2007, put estimated
revenues for fiscal year 2008 at less than $7
billion, a decline of more than 30 percent since
the start of the decade.

E

"The Granholm budget, which we believe is a smart
combination of spending cuts, tax restructuring and
government reform, represents that last and best hope
to keep Michigan government together in the form in
which it currently exists."
Muskegon Chronicle, February 18, 2007

The first step in solving this fiscal crisis was passage of the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) in
June 2007. The replacement for the Single Business Tax (SBT) provides tax cuts for more than
seven out of ten Michigan businesses and tax cuts to both small businesses and Michigan's
major manufacturers. The new tax encourages job creation in Michigan because it relies more
on profits, provides tax credits to companies that locate or create new jobs in Michigan and
tax credits for entrepreneurial and research and development activities. Most important to
addressing the structural deficit, the n ew tax raises the same amount of revenue as the SBT.
Replacement of the SBT revenue was essential, but could not solve the problem alone. Additional
reven ue was necessary. After mu ch debate, the Governor and the legislature agreed to increase
the state's income tax to a level just below what it was in 1999 and to expand the sales tax to a
select list of services. Hours after the sales tax expansion took effect on December 1, 2007, the
legislature voted to repeal the tax and replace it with a surcharge on the Michigan Business Tax
which took effect on January 1, 2008.
Governor Granholm also ordered stringent spending restrictions for all state departments in the
summer of 2007. Through a series of executive directives, the Governor continued a hiring freeze
and put limits on travel, memberships, subscriptions, supplies, and more.
The 2008 budget repaid delayed payments to universities and community colleges u sed to
balance the previous budget. It did not rely on funding shifts or short-term financial strategies.
The Governor and the legislature agreed to hundreds of millions in additional spending cuts
and made money-saving reforms such as ending state employee retirement " double dipping,"
allowing school districts to shop for competitive health care coverage and encouraging h ealthy
behaviors for Medicaid recipients.
This comprehensive approach - a combination of cuts, revenues and reforms - resolved the
budget crisis, helped put Michigan's fiscal house on more solid ground and will move Michigan
forward in the years ahead.

Creating Opportunity in a Changing World

�Fiscal Year 2008 ... Where We Stand

The January 2008 Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference projected that general fund revenue
for the current fiscal year will be $234 million below the estimate used to enact the budget
last fall.
Nearly one half of the decline is the result
of action the legislature took last December,
when it replaced the service tax with a
surcharge on the MBT decreasing state
revenue by $114 million this year. The
remainder of the general fund decline is due
to continued slow growth in state revenues
and the slowing national economy.
The January 2008 Consensus Revenue
Estimating Conference also projected a decline
in the School Aid Fund for this fiscal year.
Revenues in this fund are expected to be $136
million below the estimate used to enact the
budget last fall.

In the past, revenue declines of this size would have resulted in mid-year budget cuts.
Fortunately, the difficult decisions made during the budget debate last year have given Michigan
the tools it needs to cope with the uncertain fluctuations of a changing economy.

The state closed its books for fiscal year 2007 with a surplus of $259 million in the general fund
and $84 million in the School Aid Fund. These surpluses will help prevent hurtful cuts to basic
state services during this fiscal year, allow for a deposit of $100 million into the state's "rainy day"
fund and allow $126 million to be carried into the next fiscal year.
The 2007 surpluses were the result of higher-than-expected revenue collections in the last months
of the fiscal year and the Governor's tough fiscal policies implemented during the year resulting
in many departments returning a portion of their budgets unspent.

Revenues
tate law requires two revenue estimating conferences each year, typically held in mid-January
and mid-May. Conferees include the State Treasurer and the directors of the House and Senate
fiscal agencies. The conferees agree on baseline revenue estimates for the current year and the
upcoming fiscal year for both the general fund and the School Aid Fund. The January conference
provides revenue estimates for the Governor's budget recommendation. The May conference
provides an opportunity to review the January estimates before final legislative action is taken
on the state's budget. Additional conferences can be held during the year if economic conditions
warrant further updates to the estimates.

OVERVIEW

Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Budget

A-3

�Like many states, Michigan has a constitutional provision that limits spending growth from year
to year. Michigan's constitutional limitation- commonly known as the Headlee amendment
- has been in place since 1978. The Headlee amendment limits annual growth in state revenues
to a level that cannot exceed the year-to-year growth in personal income. This limit is intended
to ensure that the state's overall revenues, both tax and non-tax revenues, do not grow faster than
the incomes of Michigan's citizens.
For the current fiscal year, Michigan is $5.1 billion below the Headlee revenue limit, d espite the
revenue increases enacted last year. For fiscal year 2009, we w ill be $5.4 billion below the limit.
Since taking office, Governor Granholm has balanced the budget each year despite consistently
being billions of dollars below the revenue limit.

Fiscal Year 2009
ichigan enters fiscal year 2009
in a stronger position than last
year. The difficult work done last year
to increase revenues and hold down
spending has eliminated much of the

The additional cuts and reforms proposed by the Governor will allow the state to continue to
invest in our priorities - good jobs, quality schools, affordable health care and safe communities.

Focusing on Michigan's Priorities
A Job for Every Worker
Governor Granholm's top priority for Michigan is creating jobs. Since taking office, she has
worked to diversify our state's economy, attracting companies in high-growth areas that
will create good-paying jobs that can't be outsourced. The Governor's 2009 budget provides
important tools to create jobs and to provide the training Michigan workers need to fill them.
The Michigan Job Creation Tax Credit, which the Governor announced in her State of the State
address, is a one-time initiative to encourage businesses from many of the fastest growing
industries nationally- from high-tech to homeland security to alternative energy - to create and
grow jobs in the state. The 2009 budget recommendation anticipates a $35 million reduction in
revenue as businesses take advantage of this tax credit.
The Governor's 2009 budget invests more than $618 million in worker training programs,
including an additional $40 million to expand her No Worker Left Behind initiative which
provides two years of free training

�will be provided by refinancing a portion of the state's general obligation bonds to take advantage
of lower interest rates.
To help spur our economy as a national recession looms, the Governor is proposing a two-year
stimulus package, totaling over $1.8 billion, creating more than 28,000 new jobs. One part of this
proposal is the fiscal year 2009 Capital Outlay budget totaling $250 million, primarily for projects
at airports and military training facilities across the state. These projects are expected to create an
additional 3,900 construction and other jobs.
This proposal for fiscal year 2009 accompanies the Governor's stimulus package for the current
fiscal year. For 2008, the Governor has proposed a Capital Outlay budget of $1.4 billion for
projects at universities, community colleges, state parks and more, creating over 22,000 n ew jobs.
The Michigan Department of Transportation will also accelerate approximately 25 additional road
and bridge projects at a cost of $150 million, creating more than 2,100 new jobs. In addition, the
Governor has announced that the state will increase spending on tourism and business promotion
by $60 million to a total of $90 million over two years. This one-time expenditure will be funded
by refinancing some of the state's taxable tobacco bonds.
Quality Education for Every Citizen
Leading economists and education experts agree:
education is an essential part of any economic
development strategy. In Michigan, we have
already taken critical steps to set high expectation s
for our schools and our students. The Governor's
budget this year will ensure that all of our students
have the tools they need to meet and exceed
those expectations by expanding early childhood
education, increasing funding for our K-12 schools
and asking more of our colleges and universities.

K-12 Schools
Governor Granholm's 2009 bud get recommends increasing funding for our K-12 sch ools by $108
to $216 per student, based on the equity formula established last year. This increase will take
another step toward closing the funding gap between school districts. The minimum foundation
allowance for 2009 will be $7,420 per student.
To ensure that every child begins school prepared to succeed, the Governor's budget recommends
a $31.5 million increase in funding for the Great Start preschool program. This funding will
help an additional 7,000 children and expand the services of the Early Childhood Investmen t
Corporation.
These increases are possible, in part, as a result of our declining school age population. While
declining enrollment eases the state's financial burden, it places additional financial strain on the
more than 400 districts impacted. Therefore $20 million is allocated, once again, for grants to
districts experiencing declining enrollment.

proposing a 21st Century Schools Fund to help school districts replace large, impersonal high

settlement and bonding against this revenue,
the state can offer $300 million in grants to
school districts over the next three years to
create these schools.
Colleges and Universities
Governor Granholm is committed to doubling the number of college graduates in Michigan. To
support that goal she is proposing a three percent increase in funding for our community colleges
and universities, which ensures a funding increase at or above the rate of inflation. In addition,
the Governor is recommending that this funding be distributed by a formula that recognizes the
importance of not only enrolling students, but ensuring they complete their degrees.
Under the Governor's proposal, all fifteen state-funded universities will receive increased funding
based on a combination of degree completion, federal research expenditures, and opportunities
for low income student enrollment. The formula for our three flagship universities - the
University of Michigan, Wayne State University and Michigan State University - will place a
greater emphasis on research and commercialization activities.
The state's 28 community colleges will
receive increased funding based on

Health Care for Every Family
Governor Granholm knows tha t making affordable health care accessible to every family in
Michigan and protecting the safety net for our state's most vulnerable citizens are essential tools
in our fight to strengthen the econom y . Despite last year's severe budget challenges, she refused
to eliminate health care for children, seniors or citizens with disabilities. This year, the Governor's
budget recommends expanding access to health care in several ways.

To combat our state's

proposes $10 million for the Michigan Nursing Corps. With this funding, the Corps will train
126 additional nursing faculty to help expand nursing programs across the state. Through these
efforts, the Michigan Nursing Corps can train 6,300 additional nurses in five years. In addition,
the Governor's budget recommends $4.8 million in nursing scholarships.

The Department of Community Health's efforts to place seniors and disabled citizens in
appropriate care settings have resulted in decreased nursing home utilization and additional
savings of $32.1 million gross, $12.7 million general fund. The Governor's budget proposes
reinvesting this savings in the expansion of home and community-based services to allow more
seniors to remain in their homes.
Safe Places to Live and Work
Since taking office, Governor Granholm has fought to ensure that all Michigan citizens have safe
places to live, work and play - protecting their pocketbooks and their neighborhoods in this time
of economic uncertainty. The Governor's 2009 budget continues this effort.
The Governor's 2009 budget recommends a four percent increase in statutory revenue sharing
payments- money given to local units of government to help pay for essential services including
police and fire protection. This is the first increase in revenue sharing payments since 2001.
The Governor's budget includes additional
common sense reforms in the Department
of Corrections which will help reduce our
burgeoning prison costs without jeopardizing
public safety. As a result of the reforms and
efficiencies made by the Department over
the last five years, the Governor's budget
recommendation for Corrections is lower than
the previous year for the first time since she
took office.

"Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle must work
through the need to bring Michigan's corrections
spending more in line with neighboring states. That is
vital."

Special Update, Thursday, February 7, 2008, 12:24 pm
Budget Increases: $108-$216 Per Pupil, 4% R evenue Sharing, 3% Higher Ed
K-12 schools would get per pupil increases ranging from $108 to $216 and local governments would see
a 4 percent increase in the statutory portion of revenue sharing under the $44.8 billion, $9.8 billion
gen eral fund, budget for 2008-09 recommended Thursday by Governor Jennifer Granholm. Universities
and community colleges would get a 3 percent increase under the executive budget proposal.
The budget provides for $235 million in lower spending through savings and reforms (as expected $50
million of that would be with reforms and efficiencies in prison programs), and has $100 million t o
deposit in the state's rainy day fund.
Some programs would see the first increase in several years: the revenue sharing boost is the first since
2001 and the governor is recommending a 2 percent increase in the monthly grant in the Family
Independen ce Assistance program, the first since 1990. The annual FIA clothing allowing would be
increased to $75.
The governor is proposing $1.1 billion in capital outlay spending in the current year and $250 million in
2008-09 as part of a one-time economic stimulus package.
Other key elements include:
• $31.5 million in early childhood education
• $40 million in additional funds for the No Worker Left Behind program which brings total
worker training spending in several programs to $618 million,
• th e previously-announced plan to add 100 State Police troopers,
• $10 million for a nursing corps program and $4.8 million in nursing scholarships as part of a
mission to add 6,300 nurses over five years,
• $3.35 million for mental health courts to provide treatment to non-violent offenders who would
otherwise be sent to jail.
The increases in per pupil spending would raise the minimum per pupil funding level to $7,420.
The additional funds for universities would be distributed through a formula recognizing factors such as
degree completion, enrollment of low-income students and federal research funding. Funding for the
University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University would also include
technology and commercialization factors.
The total budget, including fees and federal funds, is about $1 billion higher than the 2007-08 spending
levels, while general fund spendin g is marginally lower.

Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving.

Date:

February 1, 2008

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Phillip Peters, Chair Audit Committee
David Lindberg

RE:

CMF 12-31-07 Financial Statements

The following Resolution is presented for approval.

RESOLVED that the December 31, 2007 Financial Statements, as approved by the
Audit Committee, be accepted as presented.
Background
Based on current projections for 2007-08, the Core Services for CMF should end the
fiscal year at close to break even.

Core Operations
Note 1: Membership
The projected variance from budget is due to the following:
Dues that decreased from prior year
Anticipated non-renewals

$18,500
12,500

Of the dues that decreased from the prior year $6, 100 is due to JP Morgan Chase whose
headquarter are now on the east coast. $2, 100 is due to the Detroit Youth Foundation, a
public charity that has reduced its grantmaking.

Note 2: Additional Contributions
While the C.S. Mott Foundation has declined to renew its $25,000 additional contribution
for 2007-08, Foundation staff has indicated a willingness to allow CMF to transfer
$25,000 from project money that was awarded in December 2007, to help balance the
2007-08 Budget if necessary.

�Note 3: Conference Income &amp; Expenses
The October 2007 Annual Conference in Dearborn has generated a surplus of
approximately $80,000 versus a budget of$114,000. The variance is primarily due to the
increased food and AV costs at the Hyatt hotel.

In addition to the variance noted above, the remaining variance from budget is primarily
due to a couple of larger meetings that have been postponed until 2008-09.
Note 4: Investment Income
The projected variance is due to investment earning of special project dollars, primarily
the Early Childhood Investment Corporation grant.
Note 5: Wages &amp; Benefits
The projected variance from budget is primarily due to some staff reorganizations that
took place in July 2007.
Note 6: Technology
The projected variance from budget is due to enhancements to the CMF website and third
party support being less than anticipated as a result of the Director of Technology
handling some of this work.
Note 7: Communications/Publications
The projected variance from budget is due to the $1 0,000 in recruitment material that was
planned for potential new members. Since the focus for 2007-08 has been on retention,
the marketing campaign has been postponed until 2008-09.
Note 8: Professional Services
Projected fees for 2007-08 are:

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board ofTrustees

From:

Rachel Mraz, CMF Trustee and Investment Committee Member and
David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance &amp; Administration

Re:

December 31, 2007, Investment Report

The following Resolution is presented fo r consideration:

RESOLVED that the December 31, Investment Report be accepted, as
recommended by the CMF Investment Committee.
On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committees for the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF), Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV), Learning to
Give (LTG) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment
performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds.

New Business
On February 7, 2008, the Investment Committee will meet to review and approve the
enclosed reports. Since the October 22, 2007 CMF Board meeting, the Investment
Committee has addressed the follow items:
•

Reviewing real estate investment options to include funds that are more globally
focused versus the current investment vehicle which is primarily U.S. based
properties.

Alternative vs. Standard Allocation Investment Pools
With the addition of the TIFF and Commonfund alternative products, the CMF
Endowment Pool now has standard and alternative asset allocation pools. The standard
allocation pool is rebalanced on a quarterly basis back to the targeted asset allocation
noted in the attached report. The TIFF investment product rebalancing is handled by
TIFF. The combined allocation of the standard and alternative allocation pools will be
monitored on a quarterly basis by the Investment Committee with adjustments between
the two pools being made as the committee deems appropriate.
The combined investment return for the CMF Standard and Alternative Pools will be
calculated as the various periods become available.
The enclosed Investment Report is presented in two sections.

Investment Performance Comparison Report
In addition to the Cambridge &amp; Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and
foundations, the committee has recently added the TIFF Multi-Asset fund for
comparative purposes. The TIFF product is unique in the fact that it offers smaller
foundations access to alternative investment products which have enhanced returns over
the last several years.
The reason this report lags the CMF Investment Report by one quarter is due to the time
it takes Cambridge to collect the results from the pool participants.

Re:

Transforming M ichigan Philanthropy Through Diversity &amp; Inclusion

We are excited to share the progress made since the October 2007 Board Meeting and ask for
approval of the following Resolution adopting the five-year initiative to Transfonn Michigan
Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion.
Since the October Board meeting, which included the presentation by Henry Ramos,
director, Diversity in Ph ilanthropy Project (DPP), key results include:
• A $150,000 grant from The Kresge Foundation for year one with an invitation to
submit annual requests for renewal funding
• Agreement to serve as the core research &amp; development partner for DPP
• Invitations to: submit a $150,000 year-one proposal to the Mott Foundation; submit
letters of inquiry to the Arcus and Skillman Foundations and the Fetzer Institute; and
have a second meeting with key staff of the Kellogg Foundation.
• Vicki Rosenberg' s appointment to the Council on Foundations' Advisory Council on
Inclusion.
RESOLVED that C MF undertake a five-year initiative to become a model regional
association and resource for the national field of organized philanthropy by:
institutionalizing diversity and inclusion throughout all aspects of staffing, operations,
governance, membership, member services/programs; and sharing lessons learned/best
practices with the network of regional associations of grantmakers nationwide and other
key partners like the Council on Foundations.
Background
CMF's goal for its work on diversity and inclusion is to increase the effectiveness and
accountability of organized philanthropy in Michigan. Objectives and key strategies are:
1. For CMF to become a model regional association and national resource by:
institutionalizing diversity and inclusion throughout all aspects of staffing, operations,
governance, membership, member services/programs; and sharing lessons learned/best
practices with the network of 32 regional associations.
2. For 15 member foundations to commit to and make substantial strides toward
institutionalizing diversity and inclusion by: recruiting members and facilitating a
training, coaching and technical assistance program
3. To increase CMF members' awareness, understanding and action in diversity and
inclusion by: providing programs and services

�Diversity &amp; Inclusion Report

4. To increase the diversity of foundation staff and executives through a strategy to be
developed year one.
2008 Priorities are:
•
•
•

•

•

•

Convening the Governance Committee which will serve as advisors. New members will
be added to this Committee which is chaired by CMF trustee Carol Goss
Hiring consultants and a new Manager of Diversity
Collecting baseline data including:
o Demographics of member foundation staff and trustees using a Foundation
Center survey instrument developed for DPP - this is the second state pilot
o CMF staff, trustee and vendor demographics and attitudes and perceptions
through surveys, interviews and audits
o Current practices among CMF members through interviews
Designing and initiating an internal and external communications strategy including:
o Articles in CMF electronic and print publications
o COF and CMF annual conference sessions with DPP
o Content on the CMF and DPP websites
Initiating education, outreach and knowledge development activities including:
o A CEO Focus Group with Mary Ellen Capek in spring 2008
o A Cultural Competency Institute for Grantmakers co-sponsored with the
Alliance for Nonprofit Management on July 9, 2008 in Dearborn
o A Knowledge Symposium co-sponsored with DPP in November 2008 for CMf
staff, trustees, members, partners and experts
o A training/coaching/peer learning program for six CMF member foundations
Research and development on:
o A vetting process to identify "gold standard" knowledge and human resources
o A distribution system for "gold standard" resources
o A strategy for recruiting, retaining and developing diverse individuals to careers
in philanthropy

It is important to state that this is not a new issue for organized philanthropy. Since 1980, the
field has examined and debated the rationale for diversity and inclusion in response to:
• changing demographics of our nation and communities served by foundations
• recognition of the connection between understanding the unique perspectives of
communities served and effective strategies for addressing their needs
• pressure from Congress and the media for greater accountability, transparency,
effectiveness and impact
• encouragement and support from infrastructure organizations such as CMF.

Phase One CMF Activities: 2001-2007
In 2001 CMF made diversity and inclusion a priority for its Strategic Planning process
resulting in the 2002 Board Resolution on Diversity &amp; Inclusion. That resolution catalyzed
work which resulted in:
• Board/member engagement in a 2003 Planning Retreat and 2006 focus groups
• Diversity and inclusion as one of the Guiding Principle for membership (2004)
• A Cultural Competency Plan (2006)

A cultural competency goal for the annual conference (introduced 2006)
Education programs and dedicated annual conference sessions (2006)
The updated Board resolution on Inclusion (2006)
Board Resolution on Inclusion, 2006
"RESOLVED that the CMF Board and staff strive to model and promote inclusion
as a means to serve and strengthen the work of a diverse membership by working to:
(1) Create an inclusive environment in which individuals/grantmakers from different
national origins, ethnicities, races, cultures, generations, religions, economic
backgrounds and sexual orientations, and with different skills, abilities, lifestyles
and beliefs are respected, valued and encouraged to participate; Be governed by a
diverse Board of Trustees, and attract and retain diverse staff members; Understand,
represent and share the range of philanthropic perspectives held and traditions
followed by our members; Encourage members to join with us in developing their
own commitment to inclusion for the future of philanthropy in Michigan by signing
CMF's Guiding Principles. We believe that diversifying perspectives, talent and
experience can help ensure philanthropy's continued leadership in a rapidly
changing society. Therefore, building on philanthropy' s best traditions and
aspirations, we're working together to develop a new, field-wide agenda for
diversity."

In 2007, CMF responded to invitations from The Kresge and C.S. Mott Foundations to
engage in a series of discussions about advancing diversity and inclusion across the
philanthropic sector. In response, CMF:
• Interviewed select member foundations about their current activities, plans and needs
• Initiated talks with the Diversity in Philanthropy Project (DPP) about a partnership
• Initiated talks with COF, the Forum, Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, The
Johnson Center, Alliance for Nonprofit Management and others about possible
partnerships
• Submitted the five-year framework for the Transforming Michigan Philanthropy
Through Diversity &amp; Inclusion Initiative to The Kresge Foundation and received
notice in December of the $150,000 grant

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

David Lindberg
Rob Collier

RE:

Community Foundation Endowment Funds as reviewed by the Audit
and Executive Committees

Community Foundation Endowment Fund
Note 1: Spendable Income
The increase from 2007-08 is due to the accumulated surplus (primarily investment
income) that was moved from the WKKF III grant in late 2005 into this fund and the
rebound of the stock market over the last several years.
Note 2: Other Grants
The C.S. Mott Foundation has made a $6,500 grant for travel outside of Michigan to

�Note 4 : Other Income

This line item represents the fee CMF receives to manage the KYIP project that sits
under MCFV. Rather than using these fees to support the ongoing activities of the
Community Foundation Endowment Fund the yearly amounts are being rolled into the
corpus of this fund. Because this amount is not being used to fund the annual operations
nothing was budgeted for 2008-09, even though the KYIP project w ill continue into
2009.
Note 5: W ages &amp; Benefits

$ 10,000 of the increase from the prior year is due to the allocation of 10% of the
Directory of Technology's time to community foundation work starting 4-1-08 as we
work to bring all community foundation websites in house. The remaining increase is
due to the budgeted adjustments in wages and benefits for 2008-09.
The following staff wages are charged to this endowment fund.

Memo to:

Members of the Board ofTrustees

From:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Executive Committee

Re:

Proposed Amendment to the Bylaws

The Executive Committee has reviewed the following Resolution and recommends the proposed
Amendment to the Bylaws making the Audit Committee a Standing Committee.

RESOLVED that Article V of the Bylaws be amended to redesignate Section 4. Other Committees
as Section 6 of Article V and that a new Section 4 be added to read in its entirety as follows:
Section 4. Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall be appointed by the
Chairman with the approval or subsequent ratification of the Board and shall be
comprised of four or more members, ea ch of whom shall have been affirmatively
determined by the Board to be independent. The Audit Committee will assist the
Board of Trustees in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities by overseeing the
corporation' s financial reporting and public disclosure activities as described in the
Audit Committee Charter as adopted by the Board and amended from time to time.
The Audit Committee charter was last reviewed in February 2007 and is attached to this resolution.
Background
Lloyd Yeo, a member of the Audit Committee and CMF Trustee, has recommended that the CMF Board
consider making the Audit Committee a standing committee in the Bylaws. Mr. Yeo feels it is appropriate
to take this step with the increased pressure from Congress, the IRS and the public on accountability and
stewardship by both the business and nonprofit sectors that started with the passing of the Sarbanes Oxley
Act.
Attached is Article V. Committees from the Bylaws that specifies the Executive, Governance, Supporting
Organization and M ichigan Community Foundation Youth Project as the four permanent standing
committees of CMF. Also attached is the Board approved Charter for the Audit Committee.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Robert Collier
David Lindberg

RE:

CMF 2008-09 Proposed Budget

The following Resolution is presented fo r your consideration and approval.

RESOLVED, that the 2008-09 CMF Core Services and Endowment Funds Budgets,
as recommended by the Audits and Executive Committees, be approved.

CMF Core Member Services
Revenue
Note 1: Membership Investment
Based on payments received through I2-3I-07 it appears membership will total $971,000
for 2007-08, which is the fourth year of the current dues structure.
Revenue is budgeted to increase in the new fiscal year due to the following items:
Increase in members' asset levels
Net new members II @ $900 each
Total

25,000
IO,OOO
$35,000

Note 2: Additional Member Contributions
The major share of this category continues to be the $150,000 contribution from Kellogg,
a five year $150,000/yr grant that expires at the end of2009-10.

Note 3: Other Grants
In November 2005 CMF received a 3-year $25,000/yr grant from The Skillman
Foundation to support the occupancy cost for the Southeast Michigan office. 2008-09
represents the final year of this grant.

�Note 4: Conference &amp; Meetings
As of 12-31-07 the October 2007 Annual Conference in Dearborn, will generate a surplus
of$80,000-$85,000, which is down from the $139,000 surplus generated by the
Kalamazoo October 2006 Annual Conference. The primary reason for the decrease is
due to the increased food and A V costs in Dearborn that were approximately 50% higher
than Kalamazoo. The October 2008 Annual Conference has been budgeted to generate a
surplus of $ 123,000.
The increase from the prior year is due to the following meetings:
Being an Effective Board Chair
Building Your Advocacy
Eye Q
Four Connecting Point
Philanthropy Round Tables
Storytelling iSchool
Family Foundation Retreat - Mackinac Island increased costs and registration fees

$4,500
3,900
3,400
2,600
4,800
6,400
26,000

Note 5: Publications Income
The fall of2008 would nonnally be the time for publishing the next edition (161h) of the
Michigan Foundation Directory. After looking at the current inventory as of 12-31-07
(600 from the originall,35~ produced) stan-recommends the next edition (l61h) be
produced in late spring or early summer 2009. This delay should allow the current
edition to be sold at full price longer than originally anticipated thus increasing the total
profit. By delaying the next release date, it may create more interest for the next edition.

Note 6: Investment Earnings
2008-09 is the first year that spendable income is available from the Core Services
Endowment Fund. The earnings from operating funds are anticipated to decrease slightly
due to the anticipated reduction in special projects.

�Expenses
Note 7: Wages &amp; Benefits

A 4% overall wage increase has been budgeted for 2008-09. The increase from 2007-08
is due to the following:
4% Wage Increase (includes FICA and retirement)
13% Health Insurance Increase
Reduction in admin for special projects
Foundation Liaison, project ends 9-30-08
ECIC not budgeted 08-09
Director of Corporate Services hired late 07-08

Dir of Tech. &amp; VP of Finance
07-08 staff reductions that did not take place until

$36,000

Note 9: Communications/Publications

The reduction from the prior year is due to completion ofthe work of the media relations
consultant hired in 07-08 to make recommendations on how to expand media relations at
CMF.
Note 10: Professional &amp; Contracted Services

The decrease from the prior year is due to the completion ofthe work of Sandy Ulsh in
07-08, who conducted interviews with corporate members about services they would like
from CMF.
Expenses for 2008-09

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
Revised 12-11-06
1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) is a membership organization of foundations and
corporate giving programs with a mission to strengthen, promote and increase philanthropy in
the State of Michigan. In order to assure that CMF operates in the highest ethical standards,
much of the Board's oversight occurs through the standing committees of the Board, such as the
Audit Committee. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of
Trustees in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities by overseeing CMF's financial reporting and
public disclosure activities. The Audit Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are to:
Assist Board oversight of (I) the integrity of CMF's financial statements, (2) CMF's compliance
with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) the independent auditor's qualifications and
independence, and (4) the perfonnance of the CMF's independent auditors.
The Audit Committee will fulfill these responsibilities primarily by carrying out the activities
specified in Section IV ofthis Charter.
The Audit Committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board of Trustees, shall be directly
responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of any independent
auditor employed by CMF (including resolution of disagreements between management and the
auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or
related work, and each such independent auditor shall report directly to the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee shall have the authority to retain, without prior pennission from the Board
or management, special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Committee, provided
the fees for those services are reasonable. CMF shall provide for appropriate funding, as
detem1ined by the Audit Committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board of Trustees, for
payment of compensation to any advisors employed by the Committee.

While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it
is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to
determine that CMF's financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. These are the responsibilities ofCMF's
management and the independent auditor. While it is not the responsibility of the Audit
Committee to conduct investigations or to assure compliance with laws and regulations, the
committee is responsible to make sure any non-compliance issues that come to their
attention are properly dealt with.

The Audit Committee serves as liaison between the Board of Trustees and management, and
assumes any duties either requested or directed by the Board of Trustees, and provides relevant
financial information to the Board members on a timely basis.

�Welcome to Grand Rapids and the Council of Michigan Foundations' 36th annual conference. Our
theme Achieving Michigan's Transformation builds on our 2007 conference theme and emphasizes
the impact philanthropy can have in solving the critical issues facing our state .
Just like bees pollinating apple blossoms, Michigan philanthropy uses its expertise, influence,
knowhow and relationships to develop new solutions, supported by better policies, resulting in
stronger communities.
Foundations are well positioned for the challenge of transforming Michigan. If we work together
and remain comm itted to Michigan's future, our efforts will be realized in a bountiful harvest of a
revived economy, stronger schools, reformed healthcare, pristine Great Lakes and more.
A talented group of your peers serving on the conferenc e committee designed an exceptional
program to introduce you to new ideas and ways of working, build you r knowledge and skills,
inspire you and provide time to reflect and connect with colleagues.
Be sure to visit Resource Central to participate in a service project, learn more about CMF and
its partners and to talk with each of our exhibitors, all professionals with experience serving
foundations .
Many thanks go to our sponsors and foundation supporters- their generosity has made it
possible to offer such an excellent conference experience. Please join us in thanking them .
Enjoy the conference!

�This year, in an effort to be more socially and environmentally responsible, CMF strived to make the
conference as green and earth-friendly as possible. This is just another small way we can all participate
in transforming Michigan. Here are a few ways we've greened things up:
Paper-less, but not Paper-free
While not yet paper-free, we tried to lessen
the amount of paper used and distributed in
the following ways:

Biodegradable Pens and Conference Banners
The bio-pen attached to your program guide is 80%
biodegradable and our large conference banners are
printed on biodegradable vinyl.

~

Conference Program, Learning Journal &amp; Roster
The program guide is printed on recycled paper
and a participant roster was e-m ailed to
participants prior to the event instead of being
included in the print program, reducing the
number of program pages by half.

Plastic Nametag Reuse
Each year, we reuse the plastic nametags returned
at the registration booth after the conference. Be
sure to stop by and turn yours in at the close of
the conference.

~

Session Handouts
Speakers were asked to refrain from printing
session handouts and instead make them
available for download on our conference web
site. This effort improves the quality, availability
and timeliness of handouts and resources and
enables participants to print the handouts that are
right for them either at home, the office or in the
Cyber Cafe during the conference.

Recycling

~

Glass &amp; Porcelain for Beverages
Bottled water and paper cups will not be used
during the conference. Instead, glass and
porcelain cups will be available during coffee
and snack breaks.

~

Marketing
Our online registration brochure viewer enabled
us to print fewer brochures and use a tree in our
conference theme instead of using trees to print
brochures. Postcards were printed on FSC mixed
sources (recycled wood and fiber and wellmanaged forests).

Re~ycling

bins for paper, plastic and glass are loca e
throughout the conference for your use.
\

Linen &amp; Towel Reuse Program
If you are staying at the Amway Grand,
we encourage you to use their linen
and towel reuse program in your
guest room, saving water
and energy.

Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community need. As a
result of the CRCF's community needs assessment and strategic
planning process, the Foundation is leading a multi-year Community
Youth Initiative in partnership with the Capital Area United Way.
CRCF will set aside $100,000 a year for the next three years
(annually allocated by the Board) for a proactive grant. The
Community Youth Initiative funding target is $500,000 a year for
three years. The area of focus will be a mutually agreed upon impact
area which a coalition of funders will support. A convening meeting
has been hosted by CRCF for interested regional funders and
consensus on the general approach reached. Youth Programming
experts will be asked to participate in a half day series of
presentations. The presenters will be asked to answer the question:
"If you had $500,000 a year to invest in youth programming what
would be the highest return activity to engage in?" Following this a
RFP will be developed by the partners of the Community Youth
Initiative. The goal is to fund one high-impact grant. A robust
evaluation will be built-in to the grant.

YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking:
Community Foundation

Grants

Allegan County Community Foundation

The grant given to the Allegan County Math &amp; Science Center
helped support the Eco Races which had more than 40
participating high school teams from many schools in Allegan
and Van Buren Counties. The Sun Sprint involved using
problem solving, math and science to build a solar-powered
racecar and then racing it. In the Trash Dash, students were
given supplies to build a battery-operated racecar out of reusable
materials. Both projects allowed students to learn more about
energy transfer, aerodynamics, renewable energy applications as
well as waste and resource management. Teachers were given
packets to guide them in a teaching curriculum as they guide their
students as they design, build and then race their creations.
The most significant grant was a 3-year, $75,000 grant to the
Neutral Zone (Ann Arbor's teen center) for new program at their
new location. This grant was part of a larger grant (total of
$150,000 over three years) made in collaboration with AAACF’s
Distribution Committee. This will allow NZ to focus on new
program offerings to teens in the community as well as provide
time for NZ to develop a strategy for long-term program
sustainability.
Last year we granted $4,800 to Barry County Christian School.
They used this money to purchase supplies to create a Quality
baseball program. I feel that this grant had the largest impact on
our community because Barry County Christian didn't have a
baseball program before this grant.
This cooperative project between the Monroe County Sheriff’s
Department and all the fourth graders in Bedford Schools,
involved the fourth graders writing letters to the senior students
at the high school. The letters told the seniors how they were
role models for the younger students and how important it was
for them not to drink or use drugs. All the fourth grade students
were taken to the high school to personally deliver their letters to
the seniors. Senior students reported that it really made an
impact to know how the younger kids viewed them and to see
how important it was to be a good role model for the younger
students.
New Buffalo Foursquare Church--New Buffalo Community
Youth Center. Funding for development and maintenance of
recreational and healthful programs at NBCYC, so that the
potential of the youth population will be maximized.
The grant we made to Pregnancy Services of Greater Lansing for
their SMART (Sexually Mature Aware Responsible Teens)
program. Our grant helped cover the cost of employment for
part-time presenters to area middle and high schools, encouraging
teens to choose abstinence from pre-marital sexual activity and
related behaviors.

A grant to North Central Michigan College in support of the
Native American Mentoring Program. The program will bring 30
Native American students (grades 7 - 9) to the college campus for
a 5-day residential summer youth camp experience. The purpose
of the camp experience is to expose the students to a college
setting, mentoring in career guidance, and a renewal of their
Native American culture.
They gave money to a Library for a Summer Reading Program.
That should impact the kids a good way by keeping them excited
about reading in the summer.

YAC 2007 Annual Survey
Report to the Field

The grant with the most impact in 2007 in my opinion would be
the Clio High School - High Impact Alcohol Awareness Program
- Save A Life Tour. This program provided education to high
school students about the risks involved in underage drinking in
an interactive and innovate manner. Students participated in
video game-type driving simulations as well as heard from
speakers with personal or family instances of tragedy related to
drinking and driving.
While this grant was for $2,000 it doesn't show up in the above
figures because it was made during the middle of the YAC year
which falls after the end of the Foundation's fiscal year.
The YAC granted $30,000 to the County of Muskegon to support
the Juvenile Justice Needs Assessment portion of the Muskegon
County Master Plan. This needs assessment will be linked with
the Family Court Title V Juvenile Delinquency assessment to
develop a comprehensive vision for meeting future juvenile
justice needs in Muskegon County.
As one of our YAC students said, "I think the Ready, Set, Swim!
Project is the best grant we've ever given." This project is
designed to teach area youth how to swim at an early age. The
student said he would probably be a better swimmer if the project
had been around when he was younger. (He's a pretty insightful
eleventh grader.)
The Youth Initiative awarded a grant to Southwest Counseling
Solutions for support for a mentoring program for at-risk youth,
matching 10 peer mentors with 20 youth (1 youth/1 mentor for a
6-month period of time) to provide opportunities for the mentors
to offer encouragement and support. The YAC members
themselves recruited and trained the peer mentors. The mentors
and youth participated in in weekly activities including
workshops, youth groups, game and movie nights and group
outings. The YAC members felt this was an important connection
because they believe that troubled youth are more likely to learn
form their peers than from adults. They also identified benefits
for the mentors, such as public speaking skills and developing
leadership skills.

Grants

Community Foundation of Greater
Rochester

Girls on the Run: We granted $5,000 to start a Girls on the Run
program here in Rochester. The program teaches young girls
how to reach goals and have confidence in themselves. It uses
aerobic training activities building up to a 5k run at the end of the
program year.
Be The Change Group - Purpose to break down walls and learn
to respect each other at the school level for who each student
within a school system.
In 2006 the Youth Advisory Committee funded the Suspending
Bridges Program at the Bridge Youth Ministry Center in Zeeland
Michigan. The Suspension program serves middle school
students on out-of-school suspension. On the day(s) of
suspension, students report to The Bridge, an after school
program, for a day of tutoring, behavior management, community
service, nutrition and health. This program was so successful in
the Zeeland Community School District that the YAC funded
another organization to replicate the model in the West Ottawa
School District.
The YAC awarded a grant for $3,500 for the Linden High School
Start Spring Smart Project. In my opinion this was the most
impactful grant as it reached the total school population of an
area high school with speakers, and activities reinforcing the
importance of good decision making, particularly as it relates to
drug and alcohol use. The project occurs every year right before
spring break which is a high risk time for youth to be involved in
risky behaviors.
Our YAC gave a grant of $15,000 to help build the Mulligan's
Hollow Skate Park. This grant will provide fun, safe recreational
activities for 10,000 skate boarders and BMX bikers each year.

students on correct behavior and to help to prevent or control
some of the poorer choices.
Library- Designated a youth laptop for after school usage.
The YGC's greatest impact this year came not from a grant, but
from the press they generated around the release of the survey
results. Local media gave this survey significant coverage.
Mentor a Mom program where young mothers are matched up
with mentors to provide support as they learn how to be a parent.
There are play dates for the mothers, children and mentors as
well as educational programs. This is a program that closely
aligns with one of the focus areas that was determined as a need
by the youth in the community.

$4,916.87 was granted to the Digital Desktop Publishing Class at

commercials were distributed to local schools in Hillsdale
County through the Channel One system, and were also aired on
the local community access cable channel.

YAC awarded a grant to a Challenge Day motivational assembly
for all Iosco County students. The main focus was on
understanding peers, eliminating the "clique" society of high
school, bridging gaps between the popular and the not-sopopular, etc. Reviews of the assembly from other schools and
from students who had attended it before were glowing. Students
said they made new friends that day with kids they had sat by,
but to whom they have never spoken.
$5,000 was given to Project Reconnect which funded a get-away
for 55 soldiers in our county returning from Iraq, along with their
families.
The grant the group feels has the greatest chance for impact was
given to Catholic Family Services to hold classes for Pregnant
and/or Parenting Teens. We feel that by teaching teens to be
better parents, the cycle of teens having babies who will be teen
parents can be broken. The parent, whether a teen or not, is the
first teacher of every child and we want every teen who is a
parent to have the skills necessary to help their children succeed.
The YAC has just begun to grant after a period of inactivity.
They granted to the Keweenaw Krayons at the end of the
2006/2007 school year for the Keweenaw Guerrillas program.
The program aimed at involving teens and pre-teens in a
community activity wherein they can feel a sense of community
by helping others in a very different way.
The YAC put on an event called YACapalooza. It was a
community event that was held the same week-end as National
Turn-Off your T.V. Week-end. There was food, music and
activities for youth and adults as well. It brought together the
Community and made people a lot more aware of YAC and what
they are about.

Grants

Lenawee Community Foundation

Catholic Charities of Lenawee received monies to support a 12
step program for teens. The goal of the program is to provide a
safe place to assist youth toward recovery from alcohol and
chemical dependency, and help teens develop healthy coping
skills, by sharing thoughts and feelings about their current
conditions and future plans. Because of the numbers involved 2
different groups of 15 met every other week. The initial program
evolved to serve only boys, because of the numbers wanting help
and another grant was fulfilled in our current fiscal year to
provide 2 groups one for males and one for females.
This year one of our past foundation presidents wanted to
recognize area youth for their volunteer efforts. She brought the
idea to the YACs and challenged them to come up with a plan to
achieve her vision. The YACs developed the Young
Philanthropist Award which recognizes young volunteer for their
commitment to community service. The recipient receives a
scholarship and a donation is made to the charity of their choice
in their name.
They awarded $5000 to the Moosewood Nature Center to provide
outdoor classroom activities to over $1500 pre-K to HS students
in Marquette County. An indirect benefit is the exposure
Moosewood received.
The River Safety Project here in Big Rapids. The YAC students
asked the committee to come in for a presentation. They
presented a grant request and the group approved. The funds
were used to purchase a water safety sign along the river with the
MCYAC logo.
The Midland County Juvenile Care Center was given a grant that
funded 4-eight week sessions providing a series of critical life
skills in a safe, controlled environment involving the Midland
Community Center's rock climbing wall. The participants started
by learning physical and mental aspects of climbing safety, and
the importance of trust and responsibility. Each week they
learned skills like overcoming fear, trusting others,
communicating effectively...etc. This project helped change the
lives of kids in need and get them thinking about how they can
change their lives for the better.

Mt. Pleasant Area Community
Foundation

In October 2006, the YAC awarded a $5,000 grant to Mt.
Pleasant High School to help support their "Teen Summit" and to
specifically fund representative from the "Challenge Day"
Program to be involved in the day. The Teen Summit was held
in February 2007 and was set up like a conference with a variety
of speakers/presentations available for students to choose from
with the topics falling under the broad umbrella of Teen
Victimization. There were small intensive breakout sessions
during the day and a concluding keynote speaker from Challenge
Day with their empowering "Be the Change" message. Student
and staff groups spent months planning the Summit and 1500
students
A $1,200 grant was awarded to Mio-AuSable School District for
a Mobile Lab initiative, which purchased laptop computers for
the high school. Because this school is so rural and lacks much
needed funding, this grant provided an opportunity for students to
have access to current technology and develop more of the skills
needed to succeed in today's business world.
Mini-Grants for Educators. It really helps educators provide
programs that are above and beyond the basics. Because funding
for education in Michigan is extremely tight, the mini-grants for
educators can make the difference.
Vanderbilt Middle School Family Night- Provided a program for
families to enjoy activities together. The program was conducted
the fall of 2006 and winter of 2007. Between 40 and 70 families
participated each week.
The "Connecting" Art Project for Youth in the Probate Court
School had a big impact with those youth and the community that
works with at risk youth. This grant received a "Great Grant"
award this past summer at the Youth Summer Leadership
Conference.
Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) for the
Houghton Lake Community Schools "County Wide Health Fair".
Approximately 350 people attended the fair. There was also an
assembly for K-12 students which had a speaker who addressed
all the students about the need to make wise choices in their lives.
Emphasized were the dangers of tobacco, alcohol and other
drugs. The speaker also addressed parents at a well-attended
parent meeting. In addition to the above mentioned issues were
the following: proper dental care with free tooth brushes, sun
awareness, seatbelt safety, healthy weight and exercise
awareness. Curves, Weight Watchers and American Cancer
Society had tables.

students, youth, teachers, and community members to help spread
his message of civic responsibility, anti-violence, and human
understanding. His inspiring journey lasted from April 24th to
April 28th, and was sponsored by many community organizations
including a $1,000.00 grant from the Saginaw Community
Foundation’s Youth FORCE.
In 1995, Tariq Khamisa, a student at San Diego State University
and Azim Khamisa?s only son, was shot and killed by 14-yearold Tony Hickes, while delivering pizzas. Since that day, Azim’s
life has never been the same. Instead of choosing a life of
retribution and revenge, he decided to take action and make
something positive happen from his son’s tragedy. He went from
a successful international investment banker to a social worker in
a matter of months, starting the Tariq Khamisa Foundation (TKF)
to stop kids from killing kids.
Azim brought his message to Saginaw, confronting middle
school and high school students about a topic that is not easy to
talk about- youth and gang violence. However, having first-hand
knowledge of the effects of violence, Azim more than captured
the audiences’ attention- he engaged them. During one portion of
Azim’s presentation, he asks the audience “how many of you
have lost a family member to violence”. The number of students
in 6th grade that raised their hands was astonishing. At some of
the schools, seventy five percent of the students stated that they
had lost someone close to them due to violence.

During Azim’s trip, the message he shared will surely resonate
with students long after he is gone. He had a connection with the
students, an understanding. During his presentation at the
Saginaw County Juvenile Detention Center, many of the kids
were in tears. Because Azim’s message was hitting so close to
home, the youth were talking about him well after he was gone
and many wrote thank-you letters expressing their gratitude for
such a positive and life-altering experience.

Fund the Ottawa County Mentoring Collaborative, which
matches mentees with mentors, provides support, training, and
incentives to mentors in Ottawa County.
A $1,500 grant to an elementary school was a large contributor to
a 5th grade class being able to travel to Philadelphia, PA to visit
the historic sights. For many students in the Straits area, this is
the farthest they ever have, or perhaps ever will, travel. Without
this grant, the trip was not likely to have happened.

Grants

Sturgis Area Community Foundation

$10,000 grant for a program for middle school student called "Be
the Change"-it is an anti-bullying, awareness program that
received rave reviews from students and parents in the
community.

Tuscola County Community Foundation

$5,000.00 was granted to the Human Development Commission
to assist that organization with the development of an AfterSchool Latch Key Program. This program will be open from
3:15 to 6:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday and be open for
Kindergarten through grade school students. The unique point of
this program is that it will be integrated with a program that
provides a similar type of service for senior citizens. So, not only
will a valuable community service be provided, but young
children and senior citizens will benefit from this group
interaction.
To fund a teen after-hours program at the library.
