VPF tools are developed to help Community Foundations enhance their success in building relationships with three primary audiences: Existing donors Prospective donors Professional advisors- including estate planners, attorneys, CPAs, and fl!lancial agents A Dynamic Environment Community Foundations are part of the rapidly growing - and changing - field of organized philanthropy. A series of social, economic, legal, and technological trends have led to the entry of new players and the emergence of innovative new products in our field. From the use of Charitable Debit Cards in the United Kingdom, to the enormous growth of Fidelity's Charitable Gift Fund here 1n the United States, to the start up of dozens of on-line, charitable giving services, the face of philanthropy is changmg dramatically. It's anything but ' business as usual." The challenges created by a shifting environment are matched by the unprecedented levels of opportunity provided us through a huge intergenerational transfer of wealth and steady economic growth. Taken together, these challenges and opportunities have caused Community Foundations to re-examine our role in today's market, and to explore ways to enhance our position and relationship with potential donors. Throughout the Community Foundation field in the United States, there is concern over the relative lack of awareness of who we are and what we deliver. There is also a growing desire to more effectively promote and communicate our value to our primary audiences. The Michigan Experience In response to its Community Foundation members, the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) has undertaken research and development activity aimed at addressing these issues. Supported by grants from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the C S. Mott Foundation, an effon is underway to help Michigan's Community Foundations develop and market a "brand" identity and packaged products that would help ensure our continued growth and impact in the communities we serve. �55 Started in 1995 as the Branding Project, it is now known as the Venture Products Fund (VPF). During 1999, several teams were formed - with membership drawn from the ranks of Community Foundation CEOs, trustees, and staff. Each team was given a particular focus: Communications team - developing and ma!Xeting our message Product team - exploring product packaging and new product opportunities Advisor team - creating messages and products targeted to professional advisors For the past eighteen months, the VPF teams have been collecting and assessing research, developing new communications and product tools, implementing a "Building Community Foundations" training and capacity development program, and preparing a statewide promotional campaign targeting professional advisors, beginning Fall 2000. Marketing, Branding, and Standards The opportunities and issues uncovered in pursuing this initiative have caused us to explore fundamental questions with long-term implications for Michigan Community Foundations. If our field wants to build a stronger market presence, we must build a more unified brand, which in tum requires us to offer products and services that meet certain standards of quality. Michigan Community Foundations are currently participating in a statewide dialogue and preparing to make significant business decisions related to changing their local identities and adopting standards of performance. This process is critical to our ability to move forward as a stateWide field. June 2 Presentation In our June 2 meeting, Bob Tobin of Williams Marketing Services (the firm hired to support the Michigan VPF initiative) will overview the Michigan experience- with a focus on new tools and brand identity. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tobacco-Free Michigan Action Coalition- Lansing - April 14 ISO representatives from local tobacco prevention coalitions were briefed on how they could work with community foundations receiving tobacco settlement funds from CMF. It was a revelation to many in the audience that they should also be working with the 86 community foundation youth advisory committees as potential funding partners. Because these groups received no support from the state in the tobacco settlement. this partnership is building important bridges in communities.

The study, entitled Sustainable Pavout for Foundations, was released in an exclusive interview with Kent Allen of The Washington Post on April 27. Since that time the Study has also been covered by Philanthropy News Digest, The Philanthropy Update, Philanthropy Information Retrieval Project and The Chronicle ofPhilamhropy. Additional stories on the study ~e expected in Business Week and Foundation Endowments & Trusts Newslener. The snidy, which bas been highly anticipated, was released to the public at the Council on Foundations Annual Conference. in Los Angles on May 2. Bruce Myers. lead consultant from Cambridge Associates. Inc .. participated in a well-attended panel research discussion. and more than 400 copies of the study were distributed. We expect to have less than 200 copies of the 2,000 produced remaining by the end of this month. In addition, we have also had 1,100 copies of the study downloaded from our website (www.cmif.org) in the last three weeks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sustainable real (inflation-adjusted) level of payout for private foundations. in light of the actual experience of a sample of private foundations with diversified portfolios located in the State of Michigan. The data from the actual investment returns of our sample for the period 1973-97 do not support a payout rate higher than 5%. While this issue will continue to be debated. we feel this is an important addition to the research being conducted on the issue of the sustainable level of payout for private foundations. Our thanks to Bob Swaney, Dottie Johnson, Bruce Myers. and Dave Lindberg for their leadership and energy in bringing this study to completion. We look forward to having Dottie and Bruce with us at the Board Meeting to discuss the study- a copy of which you will find in the front pocket of this Board packet. �52 Payout Study May 23,2000 Page Two The following resolution is proposed for discussion and action. It mirrors a resolution passed by the Council on Foundations Board ofTrustees. RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approves the following resolution regarding the private foundation payout requirement: The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) supports the Federal legal requirement that private foundations must incur a minimum level of charitable expenditures each year. CMF encourages private foundations to review periodically their spending policies in light of economic conditions, long-tenn priorities. and current needs. We support those private fotmdations that choose to spend more than the minimum required. that choose to spend all of their endowment assets over time. or that choose to preserve their endowments in perpetuity. CvfF c;upports the currem fi\'e percent requirement. and feels this rule strikes an appropriate balance between requiring a reasonable, annual level of charitable expenditure. and preserving the option to maintain the real value of permanent endowment. ....

Thurber Re: CMF 3-31-00 Investment Report Page 13 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the March 31, 2000 Investment Report. The enclosed investment report has been broken down into three sections. Investment Performance Report The bench mark is based on the targeted asset allocation formula listed below. S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 International Short Bond Intermediate Bond Cash 40% 10% 6% 14% 15% IS% 0% Since the equity portion of the permanent funds is invested in index funds, the variances from the bench marks are primarily due to investment management fees. and the variance in the asset allocation mix from the target established by the Investment Committee. The KYIP Fund's variances. from the one and three-year bench mark. are due to the periodic cash payments from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation. which are invested over a twelve-month period on the initial payment and then a three month period on subsequent payments. In 1999-00. $3.++ 1.000 was received from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Asset Allocation Report Cash equivalents include receivables or payables to other funds. Since aU expenditures from the permanent funds are paid out of the CMF checking account. a payable is automatically generated on the permanent funds books. Periodically. cash is then transferred to reimburse CMF for the checks cut, with interest being calculated monthly on the outStanding balance due other funds. liNT -SER VER\STAFF\DLINDBERIBOARDII-IETICMF\2000\mc.:L060200c do~ �14 The Investment Committee has revised the investment policy, so that initial funds received into a permanent fund, such as the Dorothy A. Johnson Educational Fund, are being invested over a six-month period. The Johnson Educational Fund will be fully invested by June 30th_ Investment Performance Comparison Report One of the bench marks the Investment Committee has been tracking is the Cambridge Associates, Inc. pool of colleges. universities, and foundations. Since the release of this quarterly report typically lags the end of our quarter, by two to three months, the latest comparative numbers available are December 31, 1999. Prior to December 31, 1999. the CMF permanent funds· returns have met or exceeded the Cambridge Associates, Inc. pool's one-year performance. In analyzing the current numbers, the committee noted that for the quarter ending December 31. 1998, the CMF permanent funds exceeded the Cambridge pool by approximately 3.8%. With this quarter dropping off, the latest one-year numbers ofCtvlF's permanent funds" investment returns. have started to fall below the Cambridge pool. Part of the difference in the returns appears to be in the other investments held by the pooled members. Starting with the quarter ending March 31, 2000, a three-year return will be available for comparison purposes with the Cambridge pool. The Investment Committee will continue to monitor this bench mark and consider other investment alternatives as deemed appropriate. \\NT-SERVE RISTA FFIDLINDBERIBOARDM El\GvlF\2000\meet060200~.doc �15 Council of Michigan Foundations Permanent Funds Investment Performance Report March 31 , 2000 William Allen Fund One Year Actual Bench Retu rn Mar k 16.65% 17.58% Compound Annual Two Year Actual Bench Return Mark 12.32% 12.73% Three Year Actual Bench Return Mark 16.81% 18.59% Mawby Endowment Funds 17.63% 17.58% 12.67% 12.73% 17.97% 18.59% Community Found Endowment 17.42% 17.58% 12.59% 12.73% 17.57% 18.59% KYIP Fund 15.89% 17.58% 13.49% 12.73% 11.02% 18.59% Johnson Educational Fund N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Bench Mark Is based on the various indices that the portfolio is attempting to duplicate using the targeted asset allocation adopted by the Investment Committee. dlindberg/Board/cmf/2000/Brdrpt060200.xls-3 �16 Council of Michigan Foundations Asset Allocation Marc h 31 , 2000 Investment Balance 3/31/00 Actual Asset Allocation Targeted Asset Allocation Operating Funds CMF Operating Fund $1,918,574 100% 100% MCFYP Challenge Grant Fund $7.413,992 100% 100% MCFYP Computer Grant Fund $855,601 100% 100% Michigan AIDS Fund $713,452 100% 100% Note All operatmg funds are invested in money market accounts.

Chair, and CMF Board ofTrustees From: Libby Maynard. Chair Government Relations RobertS. Collier, CMF President Re: Government Relations Report We look forward to having David Haynes, of Public Affairs Associates, with us at the Board Meeting to join in a discussion of the following two issues. 1. CMF's Relationship with State Government Pannership opportunities with State Government seem to be developing at a new pace. As David Haynes puts it- "State Department heads have caught on that CMF is a good partner." He has cautioned me that we need to be careful about being used as well. It is important to note that during the past five years CMF and its supporting organizations have had contractual relationships with the Department of Community Health for the Michigan AIDS Fund, and with the Michigan Community Service Commission for Michigan CARES. and now America's Promise. All contracts are reviewed with CMF's legal counsel. We have recently completed a contract with the Department of Career Development. for the tobacco settlement interest income, and have received the first $2.2 million payment Doug Howard, Family Independence Agency Director, wants to direct $5 million in surplus TANF funds to CMF. for a $10 million pooled-fund to deal with Individual Development Accounts for low-income working families. MSHDA would like to direct $500,000 through CMF for 14 community foundations to partner with local MSHDA Committees of Concern. in serving emergency housing needs. These initiatives are being discussed with CMF members and are being pursued in response to their requests and suppon. The Charles Stewan Mort Foundation has approved a one million dollar grant to CMF for the Michigan IDA Partnership with FlA. and the community foundation directors indicated that they would like to pursue the partnership with MSHDA's local committees. Based on these steps, the following resolution is presented for discussion and action. There will be $250.000 from the anticipated State funds available to help CMF administer the IDA Partnership. The MSHDA Project will be a direct pass-through. RESOLVED that the President is authorized to enter into a four-year contract with the Michigan Family Independence Agency for the Nlichigan IDA Partnership, as part of a five-year commitment to administering a pooled fund of up to $ 10 million. and a oneyear contract with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority for an Emergency Housing Services Initiative. �23 Government Relations Report May23, 2000 Page Two Now. Mr. Haynes feels, and we concur, that a Board policy is needed to provide direction to staff in responding to future requests. The following resolution is proposed as a draft for discussion and action. RESOLVED, that CMF respond to opportunities to partner with State Government when the following criteria are in place: • • • Individual and/or organized philanthropy at the locaVregionallevel shall be increased CMF members request and support the proposed partnership The work of the nonprofit sector at the local/regional!state level is strengthened 1. Strengthening the CMF State Legislative Network As we discussed at the February Board Meeting. there is a need because of term-limits, to increase our efforts in educating state legislators and their staff about the work and role of philanthropy in Michigan. While we need to develop relationships at the local level. David.Haynes is proposing that CMF undertake the following additional activities with support from his firm. A. Conduct a series of regional lunch meetings in Lansing in which PAA would invite a group of key legislators from an area. such as Midland. Saginaw and Bay City, or Kalamazoo and Banle Creek. to meet with a group of CMF members from their region. B. Expand the biennial legislative briefing to an annual series of three or four educational training sessions for legislative staff (staning -...-.ith the staff of new members). C. Work with community foundations to strengthen the quick response system in which they generate letters from Trustees and supporters in a hurry. He feels that this is important because the tax credit cannot be taken for granted and may be at risk in future years. 2. State & Federal Legislation The Bill allowing school systems to transfer bequests to community foundations has been approved by the House. and will hopefully be approved by the Senate before we meet. The Community Foundation Definition Bill has been approved by the House -...-..ith changes and an amendment. It is going back to the Senate for further consideration of the amendment. Despite strong support from both parties in Congress and excellent support fro m the Michigan delegation. no action is expected on the IRA Rollover Bill or Charitable Non-itemizer Bill in this session. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Program Director for Southeast Michigan Subject: Detroit Office and Southeast Michigan Program I am happy to report that the work of the Detroit office has been growing by leaps and bounds, and I am pleased to highlight the following activities: Citv Connect Detroit City Connect Detroit is a collaboration of fo urteen grantmakers, city officials. and technical assistance providers. that continue its planning work to develop a program that will improve relationships between sectors, increase capacity of local organizations and city departments. and attract new grant dollars to the region. In November 1999, the survey research firm EPIC/MRA administered a series offocus groups of the key constituents in order to reaffirm the initiative's efforts. The predominant theme heard throughout the focus groups was that relationship-building and trust are key to any future activities. As a result. the City Connect Detroit Advisory Committee hosted a ·Bacon and Eggs·· Breakfast Meeting at the University of Detroit Mercy Ward Conference Center. On May 8, 2000, more than 100 representatives from city departments, nonprofits, and funders met over breakfast and had a productive discussion on the best ways to improve relationships between the sectors. These suggestions will be considered in the development of rhe final proposal. Louise Motoligin, Collaborative Management Consultants, has been retained as City Connect's consultant/facilitator. She will be presenting a draft proposal to the Advisory Committee on June 6, 2000. Conversations Roundtable Workshops Three roundtable workshops. "Conversations··. held in southeast Michigan on March 28. April 25, and May 25. were very well received. The series was developed to provide an opportunity for funders and nonprofits to come together and converse informally about issues of common concern. A total of 300 people participated in the workshops that took place in Wayne. Macomb. and Oakland counties. Members of the planning committee included: Harriet Cooper. The Jewish Fund; Richard DunJap, The Kresge Foundation; Carlotta Mills. The Kresge Foundation; Miguel Satut. theW. K. Kellogg Foundation: Elizabeth Stieg, The Carls Foundation; and John Ziraldo.

Rappleye, Chair David R. Lindberg RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations March 31, 2000 and 1999 Audit Report Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees accept the March 31,2000 and 1999 Audit Report as recommended by the C MF Audit & Finance Committee. On May 18, 2000, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee met tO review and approve the March 31, 2000 & 1999, PricewaterhouseCoopers Combined financial Statements for CMF, MCFV. and the Michigan AlDS fund. A copy of the Audit Report is contained in the front pocket of this book. Below are some brief highlights from the enclosed Audit Report. Combined Balance Sheet $5.580.000 of the decrease from the prior year is due to Challenge Grants paid by MCFV in 1999-00. $1,93 7.000 of the decrease is due to 1999-00 programming expenditures for MCFV. Contributions to the Dorothy A. Johnson Educational Fund increased cash by $982.000. Investments $3..1-41 ,000 of the increase from the prior year is due to additional funds received from Kellogg for the KY[P Fund. The remaining increase is due to the market gains on the endoY.ment funds and completing the investment rebalancing (moving funds from cash to equities). Accounts Pavable The increase from the prior year is due to professional fees due on the Enhanced Technical Assistance and Venrure Products projects for MCFV. Accrued Grants Pavable The decrease from the prior year is due to the payments that were made lO community foundations during 1999-00 for lhe final round of challenge grants. Dlindberg boardmetlcmf 2000/meet060200a �8 Net Assets $982,000 of the increase from the prior year is due to contributions received for the Dorothy A. Johnson Educational Fund. The remaining in crease is due primarily to the investment earnings on the endowment funds. Combined Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets Grants and Other Contributions Increased primarily due to the $2,200,000 Tobacco Settlement Grant from the State ofMichigan. Net Unrealized and Realized Gains The in~rease from the prior year is due to the endowed funds becoming fully invested in late 1998-99, and the investment earnings on those funds for 1999-00. The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in Challenge Grants paid out in 1999-00 as this portion of the MCFV project winds down. Fundraising In keeping with SOP 98-2, which became effective with this year·s audit report, a new line item for fundraising costs has been added. $148,0 00 of this category represents fund raising costs for the Michigan AIDS Fund. dlindberg/committee/ finance/00-0 I/ M051800/ �9 Date: May 23.2000 Memo to: CMF Board ofTrustees From: Richard K.

Rappleye RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations' December 31, 1999, Financial Statements Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees accept the December 31, 1999, Financial Report as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. On January 28, 2000, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee met to review and approve the December 31, 1999, internal financial statements for CMF, MCFV and the Michigan AIDS Fund. Consolidated Balance Sheet Cash & Cash Equivalents The relative large cash balance for MCFV represents funds that are set aside to meet future programming needs and grant payments to community foundations. CMF Endowment Funds In December, the Community Foundation Endowment Fund (Formerly known as the Board Designated Fund) was transferred from the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures project to CMF. As ofDecember 31, 1999, this endowment fund had reached a balance of $5,771,984. CMF Core Operations 1999-00 Projected vs. 1999-00 Budget Note 1: Member Contributions Approximately $8,000 of the variance from budget is due to new member (37) contributions exceeding the amount budgeted (25). In addition, the overall asset base of our membership, and thus our member contributions, have increased thanks to the continued strong performance of the U.S. Stock Market. I:\DLINDBER\BOARDME1\CMF\2000\meet020900.doc �Note 2: Conference Income & Expenses Revenue and expenses for the Annual Conference are over-budget due to the number of attendees at this year's conference and special events associated with Dorothy Johnson's graduation event.

(Ranny) Riecker C. David Campbell · Jack Hopkins Kate Pew Wolters Julie E. Cummings Richard K. Rappleye Mariam C. Noland From: RobertS. Collier, President Elect Re: 2000- 2001 Proposed Plan ofWork Attached is the proposed Plan ofWork for the fiscal year April2, 2000 to March 31, 2001 prepared by staff in consultation with Members, other RAGs, advisors, and members of CMF's nonprofit philanthropic network. We are excited about the potential for continued growth of philanthropy in Michigan and the opportunities to be of service to our members and the greater philanthropic community. I am honored to be given the privilege of serving as the next President ofCMF and look forward to working with the Board, staff and hundreds ofvolunteers in making this Plan operational. The purpose of this memo is to seek your counsel on recommended adjustments to the Goals and Objectives, and to the six personal goals I have set. I. Adjustments to Mission, Goals and Objectives The Plan of Work begins by restating CMF's Mission, Goals and Objectives. The attached document reflects the following two changes recommended by staff Goals & Objectives 1. Objective five under Goal - Educate, "to network community foundations electronically" has been deleted and the activities combined with those under objective four, "to build the organizational viability and leadership potential of community foundations." 2. "Offoundations and corporations" has been deleted from the Goal- Increase and the words "philanthropic and available" added. The revised Goal now reads, "To increase the philanthropic and grantmaking resources available in Michigan." In addition, the first objective under this Goal will now be "to increase the number of foundations and corporate giving programs." II. Personal Goals I offer the following six personal goals in four priority areas that will receive my highest attention. �1. CMF staffing and strategic plan My goal is to have a new Vice President selected and in place by no later than the June 2 Board Meeting. I have already started interviews and begun circulation of a job description. In addition, I have had preliminary discussions with several consultants about the need to begin CMF's next "five year" Strategic Plan. I feel that it is important to have the new number two person in place and other leadership transition issues out of the way before the Strategic Planning Process begins. Consultant Alice Buhl, who helped with the last Strategic Plan, has recommended that we not rush into a Strategic Planning process. Therefore, my goal is to have a Strategic Planning process ready for Board approval at the October 2 Board Meeting in Traverse City. 2. State Legislative Network My goal is to announce creation of a State Legislative Network at the 28th Annual Conference. While this is ambitious, I feel that it is vital that a CMF Member be matched with each member of the State Legislature. I recommend that the plan for creation of this Network be one of the agenda items for our February 9 Board Meeting and that our political consultant David Haynes ofPublic Affairs Associates be involved in this plan. During the last six months I have been involved with both House and Senate Committees on two community foundations bills. The impact of term limits in the House is startling. There are many new Representatives that need the basic education on philanthropy, i.e. what is a foundation, etc. By calling upon our members to become more engaged in educating their State legislators about the role philanthropy plays in their Districts, we are replicating what is being done nationally by COF. 3. Membership Retention and Development I believe that membership retention is going to be vital in this year of transition. Staff will work on new tools to state the benefits of membership as well as undertake a concerted effort to contact those members that have not participated in one of CMF's educational events. My goal is to insure that our goal of95% membership retention is met in the new fiscal year. In addition, we are continually being asked to provide services to advisors to the wealthy. I propose that the membership committee work with staff in reviewing our current membership criteria to determine if a type of membership category can be developed for advisors to the wealthy. My goal would be to have a plan presented by the October 2 Board Meeting. 4. Standards, Best Principles and Practices for Community Foundations CMF and its Community Foundations Committee continue to be leaders in the development of services for community foundations. Great progress has been made in the past year in the development of standards supported by best principles and practices. The challenge in 2000 is going to be working with community foundations statewide on the adoption of these standards. Therefore my goal is to help staff and the Committee succeed with efforts to implement these standards, and best principles and practices in 2000. �Council of Michigan Foundations Plan of Work April1, 2000 - March 31, 2001 Bold- New Plain - Ongoing �2000-2001 POW MISSION As a membership organization of foundations and corporations making grants for charitable purposes, the mission of the Council of Michigan Foundations is to enhance, to improve and to increase philanthropy in Michigan.

Doan RE: December 31, 1999 Investment Report Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the December 31,1999 Investment Report. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council ofMichigan Foundations and supporting organizations' permanent funds, for the period ended December 31, 1999. The bench mark rates of return are based on the targeted asset allocation using the previous 12 and 24 months returns for the various indices listed at the end of this report. On the attached you will find the investment performance and asset allocation reports for the period ending December 31, 1999. An additional schedule has been provided as of September 30, 1999, that compares the one year actual returns to a quarterly report published by Cambridge and Associates, Inc. entitled Comparative Asset Allocation and Total Return. This report summarizes the returns for endowments of colleges and universities, independent schools, museums and libraries, foundations, medical endowments, and other institutions. On the December 31, 1999, Investment Performance Report you will note that the William Allen Fund two year return exceeded the other endowment funds by approximately 1%.

Maynard, Chair Government Relations Comittee Re: Government Relations Committee Report Capitol Hill Visit February 1/2. 2000 We ~re excited to report that 23 members, and staff are visiting with each of the members ofMichigan's congressional delegation on February 2. The visit is starting with the customary dinner and briefing at the 1789 Restaurant in Georgetown - this year hosted by CMF TrusteeS. Martin Taylor, Senior Vice President Detroit Edison. Special guests for the evening include, Senator Carl Levin and his wife Barbara, Congressman David Camp, Congressman Pete Hoekstra and John Edie, Senior Vice President with the Council on Foundations. The major issues this year are the IRA Charitable Rollover, and the Non Itemizer Charitable Deduction Bill, which President Clinton mentioned in the State of the Union address. Legislation House Bill 4959, sponsored by Representative Terry Geiger, will allow school systems to transfer gifts to community foundations for use as the donor intended. Passed by the House and approved by the Senate Education Committee, the Bill did not pass in the Senate before Christmas because the charter school was attached to it in final negotiations. It will be taken up again by the Senate this winter. Senate Bill 796, sponsored by Senator Schuette, has been approved by the Senate. This Bill to strengthen the definition of a community foundation will be considered by the House Taxation Committee, chaired by Representative Cassis in February. Private Foundation Payout Study Cambridge Associates has submitted the draft report, "Sustainable Payout for Foundations." This report is being reviewed by.the Technical Subcommittee, chaired by Robert Swaney, Vice President, C.S. Mott Foundation. Other members of the committee include two technical advisors and financial officers from the Ford, Kellogg, Kresge, Mott Foundations and CMF staff. The Technical Subcommittee is meeting by conference call Monday, February 7, 2000 in hopes of having a final report for the Payout Study Committee, chaired by Ranny Riecker, and the CMF Board in March. �Government Relation Committee, January 31, 2000 Page 2 The draft table of contents for the report includes the following sections: • Introduction • Past Returns Using Passive Allocations • Asset Allocation of the Response Pool (Michigan Foundations in existence in 1973, with assets in Excess of $5 million) • Return Experience of the Response Pool • Payout Rates of the Response Pool • Future Projections • Conclusions • Appendices We had hoped to make this a 30 year study, but had to change the starting year to 1973 because that was the first year that the IRS required that the market value of noncharitable assets be reported. The period covered for the 48 private foundations in the study is 1973-1988. Marilyn Stein-LeFeber, Vice President, Communications, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, has joined the Technical Subcommittee to help with a Communications Plan and final editing. We have asked Dottie Johnson to continue to provide assistance to the Committee and project. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
