Tab 2 Page 14 Date: February 2, 1999 Memo To: Council of Michigan Foundations Board of Trustees From: Richard K. Rappleye Chair, Audit & Finance Committee Re: CMF & Supporting Organizations' December 31, 1998 Financial Statements Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' December 31, 1998 Financial Report be accepted, pending the approval of the CMF Audit & Finance Committee that will be meeting on February 8th. On February 8, 1999, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee will be meeting to review the enclosed financial statements. ~ '·; Based on the year-to-date results all indications are that CMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund will meet their budgeted goals for 1998-99. Of particular note is the fact that the investment returns for the CMF and MCFYP endowment funds were very strong during the last three months of 1998. This will be discussed further in the investment report that follows. I () Consolidated Balance Sheet Note A: Cash & Cash Equivalents The relatively high cash balance for MCFYP is due to the amount required to meet future challenge grant commitments and community foundations' programming needs. Note B: Net Assets Thanks to the strong performance of the U. S. stock market, the endowment funds for CMF and MCFYP have experienced significant growth over the last three months. The growth over the last twelve months in the endowment funds is highlighted below. Allen & Mawby Funds MCFYP Board Designated Fund KYIP 12-31-98 $2,331,143 $4,559,697 $7,671 ,913 \\NT-SERVER\STAFF\DLINDBER\BOARDMET\CMF\1998\M021699.doc 12-31-97 $2,005,287 $2,938,189 $5,889,514 �15 Consolidated Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets The nine-month financial results for MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund indicate that revenue and expenses are expected to remain within budget for 1998-99. As a reminder to this board, the individual boards ofMCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund are responsible for reviewing their individual statements in detail, and, therefore, the attached notes will focus on the CMF Core Operations results. Core Operations Statement of Activities Note 1: Member Contributions Due to new memberships received this year along with the increase in asset levels of our current members, total membership as of December 31, 1998, has exceeded budget by $41,513. Note 2: Conference Income Revenue and expenses for the Annual Conference are over budget, due to the record number of attendees (1,291) at the 1998 conference. Revenue for the conference totaled $383,000 (out of the total year to date revenue of$400,122), with expenses totaling $398,000, resulting in a net cost of$15,000 for this year's conference. Knowing that the logistics of the Annual Conference were going to result in some extraordinary expenses management felt fortunate that only $15,000 of the $37,000 prior year conference fund balance was required to fund the deficit. Note 3: Investment Income Investment income for the Core Operations has remained strong due to earnings on funds received for special projects. Note 4: Salaries Salaries for 1998-99 are anticipated to remain over budget for the year, due to the wages for the Detroit office position, which are now being charged directly to the CMF Core Operations. \\NT -SERVER\STAFF\DLINDBER\BOARDMET\CMF\1998\M021699.doc - - -- - - - - - - �16 Council of Michigan Foundations & Supportil1g Organizations Consolidated Balance Sheet December 31, 1998 Core& Special Projects ASSETS Cash & Equivalents Investments Due From Other Funds Property, Plant & Equipment- Net Other Assets Accounts Receivable Accrued Interest Receivable Total Assets LIABILITIES Accounts Payable Other Liabilities Grants Payable Total Liabilities ~: - NET ASSETS (FUND BALANCE) Unrestricted & Temp Restrict.

Rappleye Chair, Audit & Finance Committee RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations' 1999-2000 Budgets Resolved: That the enclosed Council of Michigan Foundations' 1999-2000 Budget be approved as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance and Executive Committees. During the month of January the CMF Audit & Finance Committee along with the CMF Executive Committee reviewed and approved the CMF 1999-2000 Budget. While we have noted earlier that the MCFYP and Michigan AIDS Fund Boards are responsible for reviewing their respective budgets, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee has reviewed their budgets which are included in the attached Consolidated Budget. It should be noted that the MCFYP budget was approved by the MCFYP Executive Committee in January, and that the Michigan AIDS Fund is currently going through their budget process, with modifications expected to the preliminary enclosed budget. The CMF budget for 1999-2000 has been prepared on a break-even basis with no major increases expected in programming activities for the coming year. Special projects are budgeted based on approved funding. CMF Core Operations 1999-2000 Budget Note A Member Contributions As ofDecember 1998, CMF's membership count stands at 434. The increase for 1999-2000 is based on twenty-five new members for the coming year plus an increase in the asset levels of our members. Note B Support for President's Search The budgeted amount is based on the Executive Committee's estimate of costs associated with the President's position search.

We are grateful to all who contributed to the creation of the two special endowment funds created in Dottie's name and to Grand Valley State University for renaming their Center on Philanthropy in her honor. The Board has named Dottie president emeritus, and Rob has retained her with our support to assist on three special projects-one being publication of the much awaited study on the payout issue completed in May. Rob brings 20 plus years of experience as a volunteer, trustee and staff member of CMF to his new role. We already see the momentum that he and Dottie created as a team over the past five years continuing with exciting new partnerships involving our members and the state on the issues ofhomelessness and individual development accounts. The Board has approved a Strategic Planning Process that will begin this fall with Williams Marketing Services of Grand Rapids. You can expect to hear from us as we ask for your guidance on issues such as membership growth and involving the next generation. . During the year there were three changes in the Board of CMF.

CMF continues to experience tremendous growth in the area of membership and special project opportunities aimed at enhancing, increasing and improving philanthropy in Michigan (see descriptions of these projects earlier in this report). CMF is also responsible for two supporting organizations, the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAP) as noted earlier in this report, which were established in 1993. These organizations were established to meet a specific need of the membership. The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project was renamed the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures in 1999 with a purpose of supporting the joint program efforts of community foundations in the State of Michigan. MAP continues to remain a leader in meeting philanthropy's response to the AIDS epidemic in Michigan and serves as a national model for other organizations. CMF's success is due to the tremendous support of its members which is evidenced by the five endowment funds totaling $9,727,585, that have been established over the last several years.

Judy and Bob Hooker, and their Host Committee, have arranged an impressive number of tours. Learning some history of the area, touring revitalized neighborhoods, visiting the Children's Museum, or walking the open-concept floors of the Arena 0 2 Station are only a few of the many options offered. The eight mini-plenary sessions, and the multiple plenary and concurrent sessions, are sure to offer something for everyone. This year's conference theme, "Building Livable Communities: New Roles for Philanthropy" has produced sessions on the environment, education, economic development, arts, and youth violence. This conference will certainly go down in history as the "swan song" for our beloved CMF president, Dottie Johnson. Through her dynamic, impassioned leadership, she has built our state organization into the premier regional association. We will miss Dottie, but wish her well as she begins a new stage in her life. You'll all have a chance to say "goodbye" in person at what will be a "Grand Celebration" for Dottie, with dinner, program and dancing on Tuesday evening. We are pleased to have Peter and Pat Cook as our Honorary Chairs, and to have such an outstanding array of speakers, including Mike Wallace, Dr. William J. Bennett, Mary Fisher, Isiah Thomas, Ben Carson, Kent Amos and Jennifer M. Granholm - - and that's naming only a few of the notables.

Television reporter, Mike Wallace; public health pioneer, Mary Fisher; and social entrepreneur Kent Amos, will be interviewed in a panel discussion by Charles Eisendrath, a former Time correspondent who heads the University of Michigan Journalism Fellows program. Wallace, who re-invented investigative reporting for on-camera broadcasting, helped make 60 Minutes the most successful show in the history of television. But he had lost track of the University of Michigan, which had given him his start. By creating a fellowship for working journalists, he "got back" an association with an institution he admired, and co-chaired its $1.3 billion endowment drive. Mary Fisher Kent Amos Fisher, born to one of Michigan's "first families" of business had made her mark in art, politics, , and television. But when tragedy struck, she discovered a powerful new metier as crusader and launched her effort with a landmark speech on AIDS at the 1992 Republican Convention. Founder of the nonprofit Family AIDS Network, Inc., she tirelessly works to increase awareness, compassion, and prevention of HIV I AIDS. Kent Amos responded to the crisis among African-American families and a large number of inner city chil~ dren growing up without enough parenting, by converting himself from a Xerox corporate executive to "superdad." How else to describe a man who has adopted 87 children? His Washington, DC Urban Family Institute leverages and expands his vision of the power of love that he shares with his wife, Carmen.

November 3 Foundations The sobering civic health of the nation Bennett delivers stern message to lunchtime crowd While he warmed the audience with his good humor, Dr. William J. Bennett offered commentary on sobering issues surrounding the declining civic health of our nation. Bennett, a former philosophy professor who served as Secretary of Education under President Reagan and as the nation's "Drug Czar" under President Bush, spoke at Wednesday's luncheon address and shared with conference attendees findings from "A Nation of Spectators," the latest report of the National Commission on Civic RenewaL "We (Americans) are living in an incredible bubble," Bennett said. "It should be a time of enormous hope and, if we look at our economic resources, it is. But if we consider our nation's civic life and health, we often feel help less." Two particular problem areas, he said, are American families, which face a great deal of pressure, and fraying neighborhood and community ties. Bennett stressed that while moral and civic ills are compounded by poverty, it is "an evasion of responsibility to focus only on the inner city" -- we must also address issues rooted in the average and most fortunate communities, he said. And nursing our nation back to better civic health begins with the individual, Bennett said. ''Too many have become passive and disengaged -there are so many opportunities for engagement, but never before have we felt so powerless .... We fret but don't make personal commitments to promote change even in our own lives. We say we don't have time, but Americans have more leisure time than ever before." Bennett claimed that for each ofthe nation's worst civic problems, there is a person or organization addressing them effectively. He urged foundations and others to search diligently and support those programs rather than recreating solutions. The four critical institutions at the root of civic health, as agreed upon by the National Commission on Civic Renewal, are families, schools, faith-based institutions and the media. Bennett said that the media television in particular - is doing a great deal of damage, not only through the programs aired but also because it keeps Americans away from various activities, such as interacting with each other. "We must hold the television industry responsible for civic harm just as we hold the tobacco industry responsible for physical harm," he said. At the same time, Hollywood and television are important educators, Bennett said, and we should appeal to the industries to make a positive impact. Conference A decade of compassion ... A new era of hope Honoring 10 years of the Michigan AIDS Fund If it was a celebration ofthe success ofthe Michigan AIDS Fund, it also was a sobering reminder ofthe work yet ahead, as philanthropy gathered Wed-nesday night to pay tribute to 10 years of service of the Michigan AIDS Fund. AIDS activist Mary Fisher, an honorary trustee of the Fund, was among those who paid tribute. Fisher point out that patently false "good news" announcements about the end of AIDS have made the battle against the epidemic even more difficult. "And against that dark background shines the Michigan AIDS Fund," she said. "Over the decade this fund has grown into the largest, most responsive, and most successful collaborative effort of its type anywhere in the nation. "Since the founding of the Michigan AIDS Func(for every one of us who labors with the reality of AIDS in our life, you have become an uncompromising symbol of hope. In fact, you are more than a symboL You are the author of our hope." And in his concluding remarks, CMF Vice President and COO Robert Collier reminded attendees that "The work is not over. We need your continued involvement." The evening also provided the opportunity for the Fund to recognize five of its "heroes" -people whose vision, time, talent and hard work gave rise to and nurtured the Fund over the last 10 years. They included outgoing CMF President Dorothy "Dottie" Johnson, as well as the Fund's first board chair, Barbara Getz; its current board chair, Glenn Kossick; Fund Board Member Leonard Smith; and former W.K. Kellogg Foundation Program Director Dr. Thomas Bruce. �- - - - - - - - - - - - - . . . . . . . . -·- ---·-·------- - - - - - - -- -- - -- - - - -- - - - - -- - - - - -- - . , Diverse audience discusses subtleties of prejudice Reach out with talents, surgeon says What began as a learning session on the complications of racial prejudice turned into an emotional session Wednesday. ''White Privilege" on Wednesday provided an opportunity for interactivity as participants were urged to share their assumptions and experiences of how racial prejudice plays a role in everyday life. Peter Visser, vice president for human resources at D&W Food Centers, led a crowded Cascade Room in a discussion of how philanthropy can help bring a solution to the problem of racial prejudice. "There are no experts on racism and diversity, but there are many people who have small parts of solutions," said Visser. Through a series of questions, Visser guided the audience in exercises that used real-life scenarios to address what he calls "white privilege." In one exercise, audience members answered yes or no to questions like ''When you walk into a record store, is the music of your ethnicity easily accessible?" and "Has race ever affected the job of you or someone you know?" But if these exercises were interactive, a video about the subtleties of privilege got the audience truly involved in the session. One audience member told how, during the 1930s, he tried to help get an African-American classmate elected class president in a mostly white school. "They called me into the principal's office and told me I couldn't do what I was doing," he said. Visser shared his own stories of prejudice from the perspective ofhis young daughter's experience as an Asian American. Beyond personal stories, Visser told of how white privilege relates to philanthropy and the giver's mindset. "Never make an assumption about what your client needs," he said. As a child of poverty who has become a worldrenowned pediatric neurosurgeon, best-selling author and motivational speaker Dr. Benjamin Carson knows what it takes to help young people become successful. He shared that knowledge with a capacity crowd Wednesday in the Pantlind Ballroom. Carson urged his listeners to direct their time, energy and other resources to telling young people what they can achieve. "That is going to be the difference in whether we lead the world in the future or become a distant follower," he said. Carson sounded an alarm when he said that Americans are enjoying prosperity similar to the abundance enjoyed by once-great civilizations, including ancient Egypt and ancient Rome - a prosperity that didn't last for those civilizations. "People think that can't happen here, but I guarantee you - it can," he said. In order to move away from America's transition from a "can do" nation to a "what can you do for me" nation, Carson said, each individual must use his talents to elevate others, particularly young people. Carson then urged his listeners to identify their own talents and to reach out to others to promote values and principles. "Our diversity is not a problem; it's a strength. We've allowed small-minded people to make it a problem," he said. "The very thing that made this a great nation will keep it a great nation." Now is the Time: Connecting urban poor to employment At least 90% of the people in the U.S. think that "welfare reform is a smashing success," said Sheldon Danziger, researcher and professor at the University of Michigan. "But what about those people who can't work, can't find work, or can't find full-time work?" In a session Wednesday entitled "Putting People to Work - Implications for Philanthropy in Welfare Reform," Danziger, along with Louis Glazer of Michigan Futures and Kristin Seefeldt of UM, said the reality is that welfare reform in Michigan leaves a lot to be desired. First, the current welfare system doesn't provide the types of services many poor people need to become marketable to employers, the presenters said. Domestic violence, a lack of transportation, and ofhealth care and child care all create obstacles for the urban poor who are seeking to join the work force. In many cases, the state doesn't provide services to overcome these obstacles - and Wednesday's presenters suggest community foundations should step in to fill that gap. "Now is the time to act," said Glazer. "The jobs are available now. The economy needs it. Connecting the urban poor to work is a good thing for the individual, but it's even better for their kids." In addition, there is a lack of evaluation of the welfare reform process. According to Danziger, Michigan has not done any evaluation since 1996. Without state money, researchers rely on donors like the Charles Stewart Matt Foundation to help them assess the gaps between current policy and current and future needs. "Foundations are making welfare reform research possible," said Danziger. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Martin Taylor), to "the creator, the voice, the spirit and the soul" of the Council of Michigan Foundations, Dorothy A. (Dottie) Johnson. After 25 years at the helm of the council, Johnson, who disdains the term "retirement," announced last spring that, at 59, she had chosen to "graduate" from her post atop the nation's largest and most prestigious regional association of grantmakers. By the time the evening's tribute in her honor was gaveled into adjournment by Master of Ceremonies Russ Mawby, retired head of the W.C. Kellogg Foundation, her "graduation" had been lavishly observed by corporate, governmental and philanthropic leaders. The highlight of the evening was a set of announcements by CMF Chair Ranny Riecker and Grand Valley State University president Arend Lubbers. Rieckertold Johnson that the Council's board had chosen two gifts as "reasonable and suitable recognition" of contributions: a permanently endowed Dorothy A. Johnson Educational Fund to support honoraria and travel expenses for Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) conference speakers and an endowment for a Research Library on Philanthropy and Volunteerism at Grand Valley State University where Johnson serves on the Board of Control. Riecker made the announcement, telling Johnson that "over $1.4 million has already been raised from 90-plus donors to support these two endowments in your honor." Following Riecker's presentation, live trumpets sounded a fanfare announcing President Lubbers' arrival, accompanied by two GVSU students bearing a huge banner. The banner told the story ofanothertributeto Johnson: the renaming of Grand Valley's philanthropic center as ''The Dorothy A. Johnson Center on Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership." Continued on inside Conf e r e nc e - -- - --, �Dottie, continued from front In the two hours preceding these announcements the tributes were lavish. Michigan Governor John Engler spoke of watching Johnson "harness the power of the foundations in Michigan" to enable Michigan to become "a model for the nation." In person and on video, leaders from across the U.S . told of Johnson ' s passion for her work, her unchecked E";r1,usiasm and her unrivaled success. They c..~ .. :1 the growth of philanthropy in Michigan and nationally, acknowledging her role in that growth. And they recounted ways in which Johnson had impacted their own lives. A young woman who met Johnson through the CMF's "Kellogg Youth Initiative" spoke movingly of her decision to make philanthropy her life work owing to the influence of Johnson. "Do not go too far away," she said, "because the youth of Michigan need you - and I need you." From academic garb befitting a commencement ceremony to a forgettable rendition of"Hello, Dottie!" sung by "The Dotti-ettes," five suit-clad men in massive black wigs, it was an evening marked by evidence of the difference one person can make. During her three-minute response at the close of the evening, Johnson was profuse in her tribute and thanks to others . Her voice broke only once, when thanking her husband, Mart, '~ho centers me and makes it possible for me to pursue my dreams -thank you for your loving support." Johnson's successor in the post of CMF president, Robert Collier, was praised for the qualities he will bring to the role come January 1. But the evening belonged to Johnson. Perhaps the longest and most sympathetic applause of the evening followed the concluding tribute from the former President of the Ford Motor Company Fund, Leo Brennan: ''To paraphrase Shakespeare, 'Mark well this woman, for we shall not see her likes again."' �Granholm and Edie on legislative matters Michigan Attorney General Jennifer M. Granholm and John A. Edie, vice president and general counsel for the Council on Foundations, provided a behind-the-scenes look at developments on the state and national fronts that affect Michigan grantmakers. The two spoke during Tuesday's "In Touch with Our Capitols" session. Granholm, whose office ensures that nonprofits comply with state regulations, urged the session's attendees to let their state lawmakers know they support a proposed amendment to the Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act. The amendment (H.B. 4259) will streamline the process for registering nonprofits with Granholm's office and ensure better enforcement of state regulations, she said. On the national front, Edie made a prediction. "I'd say the chances of a tax bill being approved within the next 15 months are very, very slim," he said, pointing out that partisan wrangling virtually ensures President Clinton and the Republican-controlled Congress will not reach an agreement before the 2000 election. That means it likely will be several months before grantmakers need to consider the implications of any changes in the tax code, Edie said. Community Foundations: "For good. For ever." Family foundation trustees discuss challenges of family growth It didn't take long for the phrase to catch on. By the end of the opening session of the 1999 Conference ofthe Council of Michigan Foundations, "For good. For ever." had become the rallying cry of the 250 people attending the session. CMF Vice President and in-coming President Robert S. Collier even lead the group in a cheer ofthe slogan. "In my humble opinion, this is one of the most exciting times to be in the community foundation field," Jack Hopkins, president and CEO of Kalamazoo Foundation, told representatives ofthe state's 61 community foundations during the opening session Tuesday. The excitement was obvious as chief executive officers, executive directors, trustees and staff of community foundations from across the state saw for the first time the results of more than 10 months ofwork by the Venture Products Fund. The enthusiasm focused on the newly unveiled message- "For good. For ever." -that is to be at the heart of the foundations' efforts to promote statewide awareness of their work and ensure their long-term viability. Mission statements, succession planning, donor intent and board meeting attendance are just some of the challenges faced by many oftoday's family foundations as their generations increase in number and expand geographically. Family foundation trustees discussed these issues during "Generations and Geography: Impact ort Family Foundations," a Tuesday morning workshop. In addition to discussing these challenges, the audience heard advice from Virginia Esposito, president of the National Center for Family Philanthropy in Washington, D.C. Using her 25 years of experience in the foundation world as a backdrop, Esposito highlighted two questions every family foundation trustee should ask before dealing with any foundation issue: "What are you trying to accomplish?" and "Does everyone involved in the endeavor understand and share the commitment?" These questions are critical, Esposito said, because they get at the heart of every foundation challenge: communication. "If your family is located all over the place, you need to fmd creative ways to communicate and come together," she said, citing family retreats, meetings, board books and e-mail as effective ways for family foundation trustees to communicate. To achieve this kind of successful communication, Esposito said, trustees must first answer two key points: why and how they want a family member involved with their foundation in the first place. "Most of all, think about who you want involved and why and set up the systems to allow that to happen," she said. �--------~_.. -- - -- ------------~~----------------, Tuesday, November 2 How Grantm akers Can Impact Public Schools "We need you, but 1t' s got to be in a way that's useful to us ." That was the message from Karen R. Todorov, a social studies consultant for the Michigan Department of Education, who spoke to grantmakers during Tuesday's "Impacting Public Schools: Lessons from the National Geographic Society" session. Todorov advised the nearly 75 attendees of the session to support programs and provide opportunities that help students apply what they learn in the classroom to the real world. Michael Libbee, co-coordinator of the Michigan Geographic Alliance, and Lanny Proffer, executive director of the National Geographic Society Education Foundation, told the attendees how the National Geographic Society has done just that, leading a successful effort to improve geographic education in schools across the country. Based on a network of state alliances, the National Geographic Society has been able to leverage additional funds to bring geography back into classrooms. For example, Michigan and about a dozen other states have provided $500,000 in matching funds to establish $1 million endowments to ensure that geography remains at the core of education. Libbee advised those interested in improving education to explore opportunities to leverage additional funds and employ collaboration as a way to get more for their investments. Survey Provides Glimpse into Michigan's Corporate Giving Programs Preliminary findings from a first-ever study of corporate giving programs show that Michigan companies make more direct contributions to educational than to health and human services, arts and culture, civic and community or other causes. In a session Tuesday entitled "Corporate Foundations and Giving Programs," Dot Freeman ofthe Grand Valley State University Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership also said that one-third of respondents to a survey had established corporate foundations or trusts. However, only 29 percent of all giving decisions are made by those foundations - 63 percent of gifts continue to be determined at corporate headquarters. In a preliminary release of numbers, Michigan appears to lag behind other states, Freeman said. Nationwide, donations amount to 0.8 percent of all pre-tax corporate profits; in Michigan, that amount is .25 percent, she said. On average, U.S. employees make individual gifts of$329 per year. In Michigan, employees contribute $124 annually. Freeman stressed that the data is preliminary and final numbers will be available Dec. 14. To date, 45 companies have responded to the survey, which is being conducted by Grand Valley State University's Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership. The study was developed to show the giving trends among Michigan corporations that have 100 or more employees. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This ongoing funding program allows shoppers at area grocery stores to add 75 cents to their shopping total to be donated to the food pantry. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Youth Volunteer Corps Fourth year of support for this youth service program has firmly established a vehicle for youth volunteerism in .1he community. Since 1994, over 700 youth have volunteered approximately 15,000 hours to over 100 projects. In a special collaborative project, "The Chain ofPlenty", YVC and four community agencies provide hot meals prepared by special needs students to the homeless shelter.

Branch County Community Foundation The Foundation helped to fund a new community center for use by citizens of the county. Cadillac Area Community Foundation Trusting and Entrusting Youth, a day-long leadership conference with 125 people attending, 75 teens and 50 adults. Capital Region Community Foundation Cash and in-kind contributions from individuals, corporations, and the labor community funded an interactive jumping-jets fountain at the entrance to Oldsmobile Park, the home ofthe award winning baseball team, the Lansing Lugnuts. Fans from throughout Michigan and conventioneers from throughout the world are attracted to the aerated water from the fountain. While the Foundation has funded many noteworthy projects throughout the year, none has surpassed Lugnut's Fountain in bringing forth such sheer joy to countless numbers of people within and without our community. Charlevoix County Community Foundation Planned Parenthood of Northern Michigan was awarded a grant from the Eugene B. Renkiewicz Memorial Fund to develop and pilot a male responsibility program aimed at adolescent age boys. Through the project, Planned Parenthood staff reviewed successful programs that target males, developed a program that met local needs and values, and piloted the program in Charlevoix County during 1997. Most efforts to prevent unwanted pregnancy focus on women and girls. The ultimate goal of Out of the Locker Room is to develop a program which will reduce teen pregnancy by addressing adolescent males' selfesteem, communication skills, abstinence and contraception, and decision-making. Four County Foundation The Foundation granted funds to area libraries, which are a vital community resource. The Fremont Area Foundation The most significant grant was to Gerber Memorial Health Services for its family services expansion, emergency room and laboratory renovation project. The grant was the largest "bricks and mortar" award ever given to a hospital in the United States by a foundation $1.25 million along with a matching grant up to $2.5 million. In addition, the Foundation is providing administrative support by tracking gifts and pledges for the duration of the hospital's fundraising campaign. 32 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) The Grand Rapids Foundation Perspective 21 This grant was awarded to five local agencies that provide supportive services to families who are at risk for child abuse and neglect, because they have been reported to protective services, but the case is unsubstantiated. Families are offered services, including counseling and emergency assistance designed to reduce the changes of abuse and neglect occurring. To date, more than 150 families have received services. Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation The second annual Quality of Life index. It serves as a community report card on public perception of 10 different areas that affect the quality of life in this region. The summary report serves as a tool for organizations, civic groups, agencies and local governments and grantmakers to help clarify community needs and assets and target their efforts to improve a specific indicator. Gratiot County Compmnity Foundation All sixth grade students in the county were touched by the grant we gave to the Department ofExercise Health Science of Alma College. A group ofEHS students presented a Heart Health Fair to all sixth graders by going into the schools with many activities that taught the students the importance of caring for their hearts starting at a young age. Not only did this impact many young people, it made the students aware that as individuals, they have control over the health of their hearts. Greenville Area Foundation A grant to Camp Wah-Wah-Tay-See to recondition the main lodge, bring the kitchen up to Health Department standards and install a new furnace so the camp can be used yearround. The Comm. Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area A grant to construct a pedestrian/bike bridge over a river along the Holland/Zeeland corridor. Partial funding came from the Youth Fund. This project was a collaborative effort between the Community Foundation, the City of Zeeland, Holland Township and private donors. The Jackson Community Foundation A 2 year, $100,000 grant toward a capital campaign launched by the Jackson Y Center to renovate and expand its existing facility. We were not confident that they had given sufficient consideration to strengthening their organization's ability to grow, adapt and change with the expanded facility. Therefore a contingency of the grant was that theY Center management team and board members participate in a twelve month organizational development process with a consulting firm identified by the Foundation 33 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) · Jackson Community Foundation (continued) as best suited for the work. Members of Board and staff have made it clear that this process has been the best thing that ever happened to the Y. This process was jointly funded with the Weatherwax Foundation, a private foundation in Jackson. As a result of the positive progress, the Weatherwax Foundation has awarded them additional funding to continue the organizational development process training. This grant will make a lasting difference in the community and is a great example of collaboration and cooperation between community and private foundations. Kalamazoo Foundation The Foundation provided a grant of $1.5 million to Downtown Tomorrow, Inc. to assist the community in creating a downtown area to develop and sustain economic vitality. Leelanau Township Foundation. Inc. The Children's Discovery Center grant was a gr~at help to augment their new building with necessary furnishings and supplies. Marshall Community Foundation During out last fiscal year, we distributed $17,255 in scholarships. I believe this combination of grants made a significant impact on the community educational level. Many of out high school graduates return to the community as college graduates and become contributing citizens. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation The Foundation provided the final granting dollars to initiate a youth mentoring program called Postponing Sexual Involvement. The program creates teams of high school students who model sexual responsibility and who are trained in demonstrating ways to say no to early sexual activity. The opportunity for frank discussion, positive support for abstinence, and the development of effective tools for an age group just becoming aware of their sexuality and those most easily victimized by adults who take advantage of them, serves a highly recognized need in our communities. We anticipate substantiation of the effectiveness of the program through reduced pregnancy in early teens. Community Foundation of Monroe County Two projects brought great visibility this year. We supported the erection of a monument for World Wars I and II through a grant and by administering a pass-through fund for the World Wars Monument. We also gave a large grant to the Vietnam Veterans of America to bring the "Moving Wall" VietNam Memorial to Monroe. Because of this support, we have been approached by more organizations to establish new funds than ever in our history. 34 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation The Foundation set up a committee and gran~ed $15,000 to fund a feasibility study to establish the funding options for a community swimming pool, meeting rooms, etc. The study is complete and the committee continues to move forward with the results of the survey. Community Foundation for Muskegon County In 1991, the Foundation "adopted" 54 students, the entire 5th grade class in a low-income neighborhood elementary school. Our goal was to find out why the children of families who live in poverty aren't using the education system to advance themselves. We also wanted to learn how a community foundation grant program could be most effective in creating positive change in these children's lives. 27 of the 54 students are entering post high school education, compared with 3 from the comparison group class. The lessons learned from this program are being shared with the community. We expect the impact of the results to be broad reaching in community institutions and the Foundation's own grantmaking program. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan The Foundation gave $2,500 to Sandborn Township for their Kids Car Shinga-ba Shores playground. The total cost of the project is over $100,000 and the entire community is helping to raise money and volunteering time to build it. Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation The Foundation served as fiscal agent for two community improvement projects during the past year. Both involved the building of new city parks, financed in large part by the selling of engraved bricks. Our role in these projects was to receive and receipt the orders and money and then pay out grants to the sponsoring organizations to cover expenses. Our reputation and ability to provide tax deductibility for donations helped ensure the success of these projects. Saginaw Community Foundation Between the last quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998, our foundation granted $32,500 towards a Carousel project. This is a project that has involved not only hundreds of community volunteers in the construction of the project, but also will serve generations to come. (See Leadership Roles for further information) Community Foundation of St. Clair County A grant to Bridge Builders Counseling Inc. to develop a preventative program for therapeutic support and educational services for single parent families. 35 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) Sanilac County Community Foundation A grant to the M-25 Water Committee. Quality water supplies are scare today along the Lake Huron shoreline. The Committee is organizing to bring a public water supply to lakeshore residents. This increases the tax base of the county and insures quality and quantity of water for a large portion of our population. Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan A $20,000 grant to the Youth Sports and Recreation Centers Project to support the community involvement components of the Re-capitalization of Recreation Centers projects. The grant will help to leverage funds for a $11.2 million renovation of four recreation centers. The community will be partners in planning programs and services for children, families, senior and the community at large. Sturgis Foundation A grant to the Michiana Addictions and Prevention Services organization. This group has a program called HOPE for women recovering from various addictions. They meet weekly to learn skills to help them out of their present situations. Our grant provides and aid to help with the women from our community. 36 �Leadership Role of Community Foundations Community Foundations often impact their communities in ways that may or may not involve specific grants. Please briefly describe the leadership role played by your community foundation in the past year of which you are most proud. Albion Civic Foundation We were greatly involved in the rebirth of the Albion Volunteer Service organization by giving our support in a number of ways. Our most visible help was relieving them of rent payments for eight months while they got back on their feet again. We regularly interact with nonprofits in our building. Allegan County Foundation The Foundation worked with the city of Saugatuck to encourage local business owners to donate buildings and land to the community for civic center. Results are pending. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Staff met with representatives of agencies -eroviding services to seniors in the area. Foundation staff presented the possibility that a portion of the senior designated funds could be earmarked annually for an ongoing senior program. The agency representatives quickly devised a plan that would provide for the emergency needs oflow-income elderly with access through any of the agencies. The plan was further defined and refined by the agencies and presented to the Board as the Senior Unmet Needs Fund. This fund has attracted additional donors and has been successful in meeting the emergency needs of the low-income elderly. Barry Community Foundation A donor was approached to discuss funding of a District Library in which funds would be solicited from 6 townships and the City of Hastings. The concept is this library will better serve the constituents of our community, with the long-term goal that it will become a Regional Library. The donor was interested but hesitant to give a large first gift. The Foundation was approached to set up a pass'-through fund because of the trust that has been developed. With a new college in our county, our students need to have educational and research materials more accessible. We are excited about the long-term potential that this service will provide for our County. Bay Area Community Foundation We convened the DEQ, General Motors, a State Representative and a Congressman in a project we call the Draper Property. The Foundation purchased wetlands to be used as an environmental outdoor laboratory for school children to enjoy. Local service clubs will be cleaning up the area and local businesses will be organizing a community build day. Eventually, the property will be owned by the local school district. 37 �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) Berrien Community Foundation In February a public campaign was launched (with support from local media) to give voice to the charitable interests and capabilities of women. The response generated a greater awareness of the Foundation, expanded the foundation's donor base of women, raised the power level of women in our community, and enabled many women to be active in the grantmaking process of the Foundation. We now have a growing movement of philanthropic women who realize that they are one of the community's greatest untapped resources. As a result, there are two funds to serve women: 100 Women Strong supports women in financial crisis and Woman to Woman supports various programs that help women. Branch County Community Foundation The Foundation convened a nonprofit coalition to help nonprofit networking and to help identify and address the opportunities and challenges unique to nonprofits. Cadillac Area Community Foundation Youth Leadership Conference included a needs assessment and strategic programs for empowering youth. Capital Region Community Foundation The Foundation, by positioning itself as "The Center for Charitable Giving", is most proud of its public service ability to answer, field or refer questions concerning "giving and getting" for donors, nonprofits, corporations and professional advisors. These educational initiatives, even those that do not directly benefit the Foundation today, are leading to a sounder, collective understanding of charitable giving, and are steadily building community resources over time. Charlevoix County Community Foundation The Charlevoix Venetian Festival fireworks explosion rattled our communities and shattered the lives of several families. But good people in our area quickly rallied forming a special team, assessing the extent of damage and injury, organizing a number of fundraising activities, and pitching in to do all they could to help. Within just a few weeks, almost $300,000 was raised to assist families affected by the tragic mishap. The Charlevoix Fireworks victim fund was created by local citizens with the Community Foundation, to receive and distribute funds to help these families meet their expenses and manage life's demands. 38 - ------ �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) The Fremont Area Foundation The Foundation funded and operated Leadership in Newaygo County (LINC) program completed its first year. It provides residents and persons who work in Newaygo County with the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills and broaden their perspective of th,e County. Topics address a variety of skill development, critical issues/needs education and other related materials from conflict resolution to strategic planning, and economic development to natural resources. The Grand Rapids Foundation Helping the System Help Kids Report This report represents the culmination of a five-year effort to improve the lives of children in our community. Perspective 21 ! Resulted in creation of supportive services for families referred to Protective Services for abuse, but where abuse was not substantiated. Families for Kids is a W.K. Kellogg Foundation-funded system reform effort to decrease the number of children in foster care. This project resulted in creation of the Family and Community Compact, a program designed to involve families in creating a plan for care when children are removed from their homes. The report also highlights other innovative community child welfare programs, such as Healthy Start and Early Impact and details the Foundation's role in their continuation. Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation The Foundation currently manages 15 environmental grants, the most of any community foundation in the Great Lakes Collaborative for the Environment. All of the funds are dedicated to protecting and enhancing the unique natural beauty and pristine quality of the land and water resources in our region. Gratiot County Community Foundation The Foundation board members play a big part in the community. The most noticeable are the leadership roles that many of our Board members have in the Gratiot County Strategic Plan. This group has been active for several years and continues to supply goals for the County. Our Board members have held the various board and committee positions. In fact, it was partially because of the Strategic Plan that our Community Foundation was formed. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area The Foundation gave a grant to bring about the merger of two agencies that decrease duplication of services. It has also been sought out to be part of community discussions on community childcare, area wide concerns such as transportation and environmental issues, and community development. 39 �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) Jackson Community Foundation Under the leadership of the Foundation working closely with the United Way of Jackson County, a broad-based group of community leaders met to explore the creation of a center to provide various forms of support for Jackson County nonprofits. We are confident that the center will operational by April 1999. Kalamazoo Foundation Foundation program staff assisted in bringing together key players in the development and implementation of a micro-loan fund for low-income entrepreneurs. The resulting project has both the grass-roots support and the technical expertise it needs to promote a valuable resource for the community. Marquette Community Foundation A collaboration of community nonprofit organizations facilitated the development of a nonprofit collaborative office environment. The idea for this has existed for many years and the project became reality in 1997. The Q.uilding is owned by the Children's Museum and rent supports Museum programs. The Nonprofit commons offers many time, personnel and cost saving opportunities for the tenants as well as other community nonprofits. Marshall Community Foundation The Foundation has offered challenge grants to prospective grantees, brought adults and youth together as community resources and has YACers serving on the United Way Board. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation The Foundation worked with the Rotary Club Board to define the Club's framework for effective giving. Now requests for funding are handled consistently, fairly and meet the mission of the local club. The immediate result has been more effective giving, a benefit for all nonprofit agencies in our area. The long-term result has been an opportunity to demonstrate to a concerned group of involved community leaders our own expertise in the charitable arena and how effective a community foundation can be in using community resources. 40 �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) Midland Foundation We view the development of youth as commuhity leaders as one of our most significant roles. In the past year, we were most proud of some significant accomplishments of our youth: increased levels of community volunteerism, independent budget development, creating a youth needs assessment survey, collection and analysis of the data and development of proactive grantmaking based on the results. Through the course ofthe year, we recognized a change of focus in our approach to the YAC. Instead of teaching our youth to be future community leaders, we are now enabling them to be the effective leaders they already are. Community Foundation of Monroe County The Foundation is proud of its role in the development of new leaders in the community. We do this through our funds, our committees and our support ofYAC. We also bring leaders together to stimulate partnerships for the betterment of the community. Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation With the assistance ofMid Michigan CommunitY College, the Foundation held a free grant writing class for nonprofits in Isabella County. It was very educational, very well attended and very beneficial to the nonprofit sector. The Foundation hopes to continue this educational series. Community Foundation for Muskegon County The Foundation made the decision in the mid 1970s to purchase a block of abandoned property in downtown Muskegon which included an historic theater. Since that time the Foundation has operated the Theater and provided financial support. In the 1980s the Foundation undertook a fund drive that turned an adjoining property into a functioning performing arts facility and in 1995 helped to lead an effort to pass a county-wide bond issue for the renovation of the historic theater and an aging arena in the downtown area. The bond issue was passed and in 1997-1998 the final step in the creation of the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts became a reality with the completion of an $8 million restoration of this classic theater. Because of the Foundation's leadership, a vital 50,000 square foot performing arts center now stands in an area that at one time was slated to become a parking lot and has become a key anchor to downtown revitalization. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan The Foundation is proud of its leadership in (1) gathering community leaders together for luncheons to discuss issues, (2) acting as a convenor in the region through the Great Lakes Community Foundation Collaborative and (3) as co-sponsor of America's Promise in the area. 41 �··-- - · - - -- - - - - -- -- --·-·-··- - -- - Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation We played a leadership role by sponsoring quarterly meetings of Emmet County nonprofit directors (the Brown Bag Bunch) to network and share information and resources. From this has grown the ability to act as one unit when needed, to share resources and ideas, to collaborate and to support one another. Our YAC acts as a catalyst for change in our community through their role as grantmakers. They have caused more community groups to look at youth as assets and to trust and respect their knowledge. By investing in the development oftoday's youth, we're helping tomorrow's adults learn about good leadership and the importance of caring for their community and its people. Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation Through our board and group efforts, we are involved in community planning and assisting nonprofit organizations. Our primary leadership role in 1997 was with the two community parks projects (see Grants That Make A Difference). Another major impact we had was with an environmental and educational organization called Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve. The Foundation provided them a matching grant for a capital building drive and our Y AC made a five-year pledge in that same campaign. Sanilac County Community Foundation Our Y ACers are having a large impact on peer pressure in our schools. Students are learning that community service isn't just for "nerds" - its for everyone. Saginaw Community Foundation The Saginaw Community Foundation has played a leadership role in a Carousel project that has brought community members form all walks of life together to create a handcarved, 32-foot carousel. Since late 1996, community members have contributed their time, money and talent to the creation of a work of art that will benefit Saginaw County residents and visitors for generations to come. The $750,000 project was completed in July of this year, and is operating at the local zoo. Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan In 1997, the Foundation began planning for the Southeastern Michigan Community Partnership for Cultural Participation. Through the planning process, representatives from hundreds of arts, cultural and community-based organizations convened to develop a plan to increase participation in cultural programs. Sturgis Foundation The Sturgis Foundation has helped the Camp Fort Hill trustees in their effort to rejuvenate their camp (see Youth Grants). We hold their endowment fund as well as their principal and income fund. Without the Sturgis Foundation, the group may not have been as successful with their fundraising efforts. 42 �Section III Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Update WKKFIMCFYP Challenge Grant Update ...................................................... .43 Y AC Best Practices .......................................................................................... 46 MCFYP Board of Trustees .............................................................................. 47 State Youth Board ............... .................. ........................................................... 47 Total Amount ofYAC Grants (graph) ........................................................... .48 Total Number ofYAC Grants (graph) ............................................................. 49 Number ofYACs Making Grants (graph) ....................................................... 50 YAC Grant Summary .....................................................................................51 Proactive and Creative Grants Made by Youth Advisory Committees ........................................................... 53 Council ofMichigan Foundations ............................................................................. ,58 - �WKKF I MCFYP CHALLENGE GRANTS Totals by Community Foundation as of October 1998 43 �WKKF I MCFYP CHALLENGE GRANTS Totals by Community Foundation as of October 1998 (continued) ,*Horner Area Conmmnlty Foundation :*:Hudsonville toli111iunlty Foundation 44 --- ---------- �WKKF I MCFYP CHALLENGE GRANTS Totals by Community Foundation as of October 1998 (continued) ....... $50,000:····· $45,950,000 TOTALS Bold indicates approval for full $1 million challenge.

It is helpful to review these annually as part of a self-audit process. The role of the YAC is to recommend grants from a permanent Youth Fund after assessing local youth needs, be involved in fund development, and support systems for involving youth in philanthropy. 1. The YAC is adopted by the Board as one of the permanent standing committees of the community foundation. 2. The YAC meets a minimum of six times a year. 3. YAC membership of at least 7 youth is representative of the youth community. 4. A trained adult advisor works with the YAC. 5. There is an annual orientation process for new YAC members. 6. As the basis for grantmaking, the YAC collects information, at least every three years, about the assets and needs related to youth in its community. 7. YAC members are provided opportunities to be involved in fund development. Helping to ensure the continued growth of the youth fund, emphasis should be placed on donor calls and community presentations, based on local youth issues and concerns, rather than "fund raising" activities. 8. The YAC completes an annual proactive grantmaking process, that involves and builds the capacity of youth as resources and decision makers in their communities, and results in the recommendation of grants to the community foundation Board. 9. YAC members should participate in available leadership training opportunities. 10. A process to evaluate its activities, including the effectiveness of grants. 11. YAC members have an opportunity to meet annually with members of the Board of Trustees of the community foundation. When appropriate, Y AC members may attend board meetings, participate in an annual meeting, or join in special events that provide opportunities for sharing with the Board. 12. Grantmaking by the YAC is featured in annual reports, newsletters, public presentations, and other communications tools. This communicates to the wider public the importance of the Y AC and youth involvement as community problem-solvers. 13. The community foundation may support a project funded by the YAC with income from a different endowment fund. The community foundation board may jointly fund a project with the YAC. 14. The YAC may review youth-related proposals that are submitted to the community foundation atlarge. As experienced grantmakers, Y AC members can provide valuable insights into the value of projects serving youth. 46 -- ------ �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project BOARD OF TRUSTEES Patricia B.

This was an opportunity for cultural enrichment as well as the spreading of good will. Allegan County Community Foundation $16,000 was granted to Wings of Hope Hospice to provide loss and grief education to all Allegan middle and high schools. Subject matter deals not only with loss through death, but loss of innocence, childhood and other forms of loss. This was the largest single grant to date and impacted the entire county. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation A grant to Ann Arbor Public Schools Educational Foundation for the newly incorporated Ann Arbor Teen Center provided start-up funds for rent, staffing and/or furniture for a Teen Center. The grant represented the first funding for a community-wide project that had been on the Youth Council' s agenda for over 3 years. The grant resulted in the opening of the Teen Center six months later with leased space, staff, adult and youth boards, weekday and weekend programs, and an operating budget of $200,000. Bay Area Community Foundation The Youth Initiative has granted $50,000 to build a Civic Arena/Ice Arena. We actually awarded an additional $5,000 to start their endowment fund, which the YI implements. The endowment fund is used for purchasing ice time for youth who could not otherwise afford it. Berrien Community Foundation There are several grants that made an impact in the community in which the program was initiated: 1) Eau Clair Actitity League grant launched a new program to give kids in that small community some recreational activities; (2) Lakeshore Key Club was able to launch a new mentorship program between high school students and elementary students; and (3) Strength Through Art -Youth Mural project made a big impact on a small number of students in the Benton Harbor area, since they were able to work with a professional artist on a public work of art that it views as an asset by the community. Cadillac Area Community Foundation A grant to our new Youth All-Sports complex. 53 �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Capital Region Community Foundation In 1997, the YAC funded far-reaching programs - from reading and educational travel, to crisis centers and aid to teenage mothers. One grant, however, stands out. It was made to other teens who directed, performed, and organized five plays presented, ultimately, to the community atlarge. The youthful participants ofthe All-ofUs Express Theater, learned organizational skills enhanced personal self-esteem, successfully juggled multiple responsibilities, and participated in hands-on experience. The experience was more than a performance or two, it was an exploration and discovery of their personal best. Charlevoix County Community Foundation The Charlevoix County Friend of the Court will assign a social worker from their staffto work with school personnel to assist families who are mutually served by both organizations. Studies have demonstrated that conflict among divorced or separated parents has serious adverse effects on children's academic performance, psychological development, self-esteem, peer relationships and social skills. The objective of the proposed project is to help parents minimize the impact of the divorce on children by teaching parents how to deal constructively with conflict and increasing non-custodial parents' involvement in their children's school program. Four County Community Foundation The YAC awarded funds for a youth to attend I:_ine Arts Camp. This youth would otherwise not have had the resources to attend the camp. She was able to improve her musical technique and meet other students from all over the world. The Fremont Area Foundation The Newaygo County Youth Initiative (NCYI) awarded pro-active grants to five school districts for the formation of Youth to Youth Mentoring Programs or for the enhancement of similar existing programs. The NCYI facilitated the program's creation by convening area youth who developed a program outline for the schools to adopt. The Grand Rapids Foundation A grant to Dispute Resolution Center provided summer jobs and conflict resolution training to 81 teens who assisted with playground supervision and used their conflict resolution training skills at 21local parks in Grand Rapids. The project also involved six neighborhood associations. Gratiot County Community Foundation TheYAC granted money to Alma College's host committee for the AIDS Memorial Quilt display. This definitely had an impact on everyone who viewed the quilt, particularly young people. Greenville Area Foundation A grant to the Danish Kingdom to cover publicity and costs for the company to come to Greenville to design the playscape. 54 �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Hillsdale County Community Foundation In 1997, YOUTH joined forces with General Endowment fund to challenge the community to a $25,000 match to complete the required fund raising for the initial phase of"Fields of Dreams". This was a community effort to develop some land in Hillsdale for sports and recreation activities. The total estimates for the first phase of Field of Dreams was $325,000 and the efforts involved large segments of the population. YOUTH's challenge led the Field Committee to involve many youth volunteers in the project as well. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area A grant to the American Red Cross of Ottawa County for a collaborative effort with Holland Hospital for an HIVI AIDS peer education program. Young people from high schools, including one of our own Y AC members, were part of the peer teams. The program was exceptional! The Jackson Community Foundation In 1997, the Yes for Youth Advisory Committee awarded a grant to the Jackson Area Dental Clinic for the purpose of modernizing the clinic and increasing productivity. The Clinic was established in 1972 for the purpose of providing dental care for children from low-income families. The grant allowed the Clinic to increase productivity by purchasing their fourth dental chair for operative procedures, allowing them to make use of their present staff. New cabinets were also purchased which improved the Clinic's appearance and has made the children they serve less apprehensive and more comfortable while at the same time making the facility sufficiently attractive to continue to attract high quality professional staff. Kalamazoo Foundation A grant to Michigan Association for Children with Emotional Disorders received a grant to support a group of emotionally impaired adolescents in their efforts to learn self-advocacy skills. Youth United Way members were particularly impressed with this group's commitment to increasing community knowledge about the barriers faced by kids with emotional disorders as well as providing support for kids who face tough challenges within their schools and community environments. Marquette Community Foundation To Graveraet Middle School with a matching grant from the Marquette Public Schools Education Foundation. This collaborative grant enabled sixth grade students to produce a video project on Marquette's architecture and people. Students participated in all phases of video production, researched architecture, interviewed community members and produced an awardwinning 2-video series that is now being used by teachers district-wide for education. Marshall Community Foundation The grant supporting a Violence Prevention Workshop for county YACers had the most impact. From this workshop county Y AC service projects were born as well as Y AC to elementary students education projects to promote understanding among and acceptance of people different from themselves. 55 �. ······-·-····-·--------- - -- ··--·-----·-- --···· ·-··· .. . - - -- ·-··--- - ---- -- -- Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Michigan Gateway Community Foundation In rural communities, kids in trouble cannot easily seek the "time out" shelters they and their families often need. Also, if they pa..'iicipate in residential programs, rural families are lacking follow-up support because of the distances separating them from counseling. This YAC grant to The LINK crisis intervention center provides funding for outreach services that take these services into the homes oftheir clients. Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation A grant to the Mt. Pleasant Public School Band. They traveled to Oklahoma City where they participated in a memorial ceremony for victims of the Federal Building bombing. They offered sympathy and concern for the victims and their families from the people ofMt. Pleasant. Community Foundation for Muskegon County Our YAC started a new teacher minigrant program in 1997. Muskegon County teachers were invited to apply for minigrant funding of up to $250 per classroom to try out new ideas or purchase the extras needed for an already great lesson plan or project. Over 100 proposals were received ranging from requests for special equipment in a high school science class to a new computer program to help kindergartners learn to read.

The program targets girls in 6th through 1oth grades to help them make good choices about sexual responsibility later in their teen years. This program stresses the fact that everyone need to make conscious decisions about many things in life and all decisions have consequences. Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation Our YAC collaborated with the American Association ofUniversity Women on a workshop for middle school girls exploring careers in math, science, and technology. "Spring into Math, Science and Technology" encouraged young women to consider different career choices by presenting hands-on sessions with women scientists in varying fields. Some of the presenters included a NASA engineer, a veterinarian and a computer scientist. Saginaw Community Foundation A typical example is a grant our YAV provided to the Salvation Army to provide scholarships for low-income kids to attend the Army's summer day camp. The grant provided fulVpartial scholarships for many of the 75 kids, aged 7-12, to take part in the productive summertime activities. 56 �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.)

You have each been mailed an Annual Report that further defines the many successes that the Michigan AIDS Fund has made on behalfofthe Council ofMichigan Foundations during 1998. Sadly, we report all of this to you even as Dennis resigns his position with the Fund for family reasons- to be closer to his brother Bill, who is very ill with AIDS. We have all benefited in many ways from Dennis' leadership with the Fund, and shall miss him. We extend our best wishes as he returns to Indianapolis. ~~---~~ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby, Chairman, K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project C. David Campbell, Steering Committee Member Dr. John W. Porter, Steering Committee Member Re: K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Report The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Steering Committee met in Lansing on September 10, 1998, to review the progress of the project and to hear the first year formative evaluation results from the Michigan State University Evaluation Team. Several of the project teachers are attending the CMF Annual Meeting as a professional development opportunity. You may be interested in talking with them about the project and their experiences in the classroom. Also, at the CMF conference, there is a foundation history timeline worksheet on the wall. Please visit this timeline and add your foundations' historic events. The comments received will be incorporated into the philanthropy timeline that is being developed for publication for teacher's and students. Lesson Plan and Curriculum Development The project teachers are redrafting their lessons for field-testing. Over 900 teachers from 36 states and six countries have volunteered to evaluate the lesson plans. The lessons are being sent out during the months of October and November. The evaluations are due back in January 1999. The first set of lessons will be placed in the Website by spring. The curriculum themes have been identified. These are the areas that the national advisors and the teachers believe a student should know upon graduating from high school. The four themes are: 1. 2. 3. 4. Defining the philanthropic sector and its relationship to business and government Philanthropy and the individual Philanthropy and civil society Skills in giving, serving, and private citizen action for the public good The teachers are meeting regularly. They have voluntarily divided into two subgroups. One group will continue to define the curriculum and will write additional lessons to fill in any "holes". The second group is beginning the process of developing a standardized test for evaluating student learning at grades 5, 8, and 11. C:\windows\TEMP\November 1998.doc �51 Funding A number of grant proposals are under consideration. We expect to hear the decisions during this fall and into early winter. The summary of the grant requests follows. First Year Formative Evaluation Results The project has several evaluation strategies to both inform project staff and to provide a summative evaluation at the end of the project. The team from Michigan State University has reported their baseline information as a start of the evaluation process. Publicity and Teaching Materials Two new brochures are in publication, one for teachers and one for general audiences. The theme of the brochures is "An Action of the Heart ..... A Project for the Mind". A newsletter will be mailed to key audiences before the end of the year. Presentations have been made or are scheduled for: Michigan Council for Social Studies Annual Fall Meeting Berrien County Intermediate School District National Society for Experiential Education CMF Annual Conference Michigan Education Association Annual Meeting Texas Chapter, National Society ofFuncl-Raising Executives National Social Studies Supervisors Association Council on Foundations Family Foundation Meeting National School Boards Association Requested sessions, still waiting for confirmation: Second Annual Meeting of the Black Philanthropy Professionals Association Council on Foundations Annual Meeting Midwest United Way Annual Meeting Michigan Grantmaker/Grantseeker Michigan Council for Social Studies Spring Meeting Additionally, the Steering Committee has reviewed and set a priority to an extensive list of educational organizations both in Michigan and nationally. The project staff will begin contacting these organizations to inform them of the project, as soon as the brochures are ready for mailing. Indiana Partners A meeting in early December is planned with the Indiana partners regarding the next steps to take together. Initial ideas are the selection of communities in Michigan and Indiana, where all of the components would be implemented simultaneously. In addition, a K-12 research C:\windows\TEMP\November 1998.doc �---.---- ----- -- - -- --- -- - -- - - - - - ~~~~~~-~~~~~~~-----~----------, 52 agenda will be developed for the Indiana Center on Philanthropy to provide some of the intellectual content for the projects.

Swaney, Jr. Chair, Investment Committee RE: September 30, 1998 Investment Report. Page 17 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the September 30, 1998 Investment Report. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council of Michigan Foundations, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund, for the period ended September 30, 1998. The targeted rate of return is a weighted average based on the previous 12 months returns for the various indices listed at the end of the attached report. In addition to the current benchmarks that are being used for comparison purposes, the Investment Committee is working on sources for other foundation returns. One source that has recently become available is the Council on Foundations 1997 Investment Performance and Practices of Community Foundations, which revealed the following information. Median Annualized Rate of Return 1 Year ending 12-31-97 All Community Foundations Assets of $1OOm or more $25m to $99.9m $5m to $24.9 18.9% 18.7% 19.2% 18.5% CMF & MCFYP Endowment Portfolio Returns 1 Year ending 12-31-97 MCFYP Board Designated Fund Mawby Funds William Allen Fund 20.8% 22.3% 17.6% Explanation of actual rates of returns on attached report versus benchmark and other · endowment funds listed. MawbyFund The variance from the bench mark rate of return is due to the funds being invested over the last year using a dollar cost averaging method. That resulted in the actual asset allocation for the period varying from the targeted mix. I:\DLINDBER\BOARDMEl\CMF\1998\M110498a.doc �18 William Allen Fund: This fund was invested in actively managed small and midcap growth funds for the majority of the previous twelve months. Over the last six months the funds have been moved into the index funds that are being used by the other endowment funds. KYIPFund The KYIP funds were invested over the past twelve months using a "dollar cost averaging method" and therefore, were not fully invested for the entire twelve-month period.

Resolved: The Council of Michigan Foundations November 1998 Legislative Goal Statement be approved as presented Legislative Victories October brought good news for CMF Members and donors in the state and nation. On the national level, H.R. 519 IS. 194 became part ofthe passed Budget Bill, making permanent the provision for donors to private foundations being able to deduct the full market value of appreciated publicly-traded stock. Sponsored by Congressman David Camp (Midland), and cosponsored by twelve other Michigan Congressmen and both Senators, the provision is now PERMANENT for the first time since 1984, when a series of extenders were passed. The provision is retroactive to June 1998, when the last exteq.der expired. CMF Members have worked on permanent passage of this provision, along with leadership from the Council on Foundations and other regional associations. It is a great victory, which will continue to enhance efforts to increase philanthropy in the USA. On the state level, H. B. 5386 and 5389 have been signed into law by the Governor, allowing local units of government and public libraries to transfer bequests they have received to community foundations for the same purposes as the donor intended. In addition, H. B. 5906, allowing youth ages 16 and 17 to serve on nonprofit boards with vote, has passed the House and will be considered by the Senate in early December. Youth Grantmakers representing the MCFYP State Youth Board, the Battle Creek Community Foundation, the Marshall Community Foundation, and the Capitol Region Community Foundation were involved in presenting testimonry to the House Committee on Commerce. Private Foundation Payout Study Following the discussion at the June board meeting, Public Sector Consultants, with assistance from Cambridge Associates, was engaged to undertake a study of the "actual" �23 investment experience over a forty-year period, of Michigan foundations with assets in excess of $5 million.

Johnson President * *CMF Board Member **CMF Board Member Nominee The Committee met September 16, 1998 to discuss the project. The time period of the study will be 1957- 1997, with a release date ofthe study planned for April1999. If useful, a 1998 update will be issued later in 1999, which will take into consideration 1998 investment returns. The project budget is $80,000. Proposals have been sent to four CMF Members. To date, support has been received from the Herbert·R -& Grace A. Dow Foundation ($10,000). The unique aspect of the Michigan study will be the review of forty years of ACTUAL experience, versus a hypothetical portfolio which is the basis of the excellent COF DeMarche Study, released in 1995 and the CMF-sponsored study, undertaken by the University of Michigan in 1981. The Advisory Board anticipates that the study will be used to inform CMF Members, and will be available for congressional testimony, if needed. It will also be used to address the position raised by some grantees and media representatives, that with the current investment returns, private foundations should make a higher payout. CMF has received invitations to discuss the study from an economic group in Ann Arbor, and the COF Annual Conference Program Committee for the April, 1999 Conference. 1999 State and Federal CMF Legislative Plans CMF continues to actively work with our national and state counterparts to accomplish our legislative goals. The annual Washington visit with our congressional delegation will take place on February 2-3, 1999. As in previous years, a dinner meeting will be held the first evening of the visit, on Tuesday, February 2, where a Congressman will speak. Also as per last year's visit to "the Hill", Consumers Energy will host this dinner. Plans have also been made for the CMF delegation to join the "University of Michigan Capitol Hill Club Breakfast", the morning of February 3rd, where traditionally, most ofthe Michigan delegation are in attendance. -----, �25 The CMF 1999 comprehensive state plan, which takes into consideration term limits and devolution, has been reviewed by the Government Relations Committee. Key components include: • • • • • Congratulatory letters from CMF and interested Members to Senate and House November winners Background papers on Michigan's grantmaking community and issues significant to philanthropy A Grantsmanship Meeting for legislative staff Development of audiotapes on issues for use by Representatives/Senators Meetings with Legislators in their Districts and Lansing The Plan is being undertaken this fall, with a heavy concentration of activity over the winter and early spring. Public Affairs Associates (David Haynes) has been instrumental in the design of the plan and will continue to be of counsel. i:ewp:committee/brdtrsU1998/nov98gov �···------·--- - - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - -- - - - -- - -- - - - - , 26 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement September 1998 Philanthropy in America Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 1997, foundations and corporations donated more than $21.6 billion for charitable causes and services, including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, libraries, and programs for the elderly, and the needy. Today, foundations and corporations are being challenged to increase their support and charitable donations in the face of program changes initiated by national, state, and local governments, as well as increased needs. In the face of this challenge, it is apparent that much can and should be done to encourage the creation and growth of new foundations and corporate giving programs. Unfortunately, the 1969 Tax Act, while introducing a number of reforms, also erected a number of major barriers to foundation philanthropy. These include the provisions that serve as disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as provisions that discourage charitable donations to foundations. After more than 29 years of experience, it is also apparent that a number of Internal Revenue Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive on the grantmaking effectiveness of Michigan's more than 1,465 foundations, as well as the more than 41,588 other foundations in communities across the United States. If foundations and corporations are to expand their support of important social needs and programs, the Council of Michigan Foundations must work actively to inform the general public, as well as state and federal legislators and other policy-makers, on these important issues. It must seek support for legislative changes that encourage the role and effectiveness of foundation and corporate philanthropy. That is the purpose of the following Council of Michigan Foundations' Government Relations Program. Background: CMF Government Relations Program In 1977, the Council of Michigan Foundations' (CMF) Members directed the Board of Trustees to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy. This program was to include a plan to communicate with public policy-makers. A Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the program. �- ·· - · --·· ·· ·- -·-----------------------------------~ 27 Since then, the Government Relations Committee has surveyed the CMF Members in their legislative interests and priorities on a timely basis. In 1980, CMF also launched a "Developing Good Will Program" to assist in this public information effort. CMF has worked with foundation and corporate Members, the Council on Foundations, other regional associations of grantmakers, Independent Sector, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and other nonprofit organizations to enhance the understanding of public policy-makers about foundation philanthropy and to bring about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. As a result of these efforts by CMF and others, the following goals have been accomplished: NATIONAL • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Reduction of mandatory pay-out requirement for private foundations from a proposed 6- 3/4% to 5% Excise Tax on private foundations reduced from 4% to 2% and in some cases 1% Private foundation .65 limit on grant administrative expenses terminated Fair regulations on private foundation lobbying have been issued Gifts to private foundations of publicly traded sto.ck limitations relaxed Gain portion of gifts of appreciated property is not subject to the alternative minimum tax reduction Affidavit process for simplifying private foundations grants to non U. S. Charities instituted Private & Community Foundations allowed to ownS-Corporation stock. Protected charitable gift annuities as attractive giving vehicle for donors. No part of premiums paid for D&O liability insurance need to be treated as compensation by directors of any charitable organization Regulation passed indicating U.S. Foundation grants to nonresident aliens would be taxed depending on the place where the research or study takes place. Community foundations permitted to administer pooled income fund Due date of first estimated private foundation tax payment on investment income changed to coincide with the due date of the Form 990-PF. Generation-skipping transfer law pertinent to the predeceased parent exclusion, extended for charitable lead and remainder trusts. STATE • • • • • Repeal of the state inheritance tax Community foundation tax credit for individuals and businesses made permanent with no cap Limitation of the tort liability of volunteers of nonprofit corporations Repeal of the Michigan Intangibles Tax 501 (c) 3 organizations allowed to have an insurable interest in the life of an individual who has given written consent 2 �28 The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March 1, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April12, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995, October 30, 1996, March 13, 1997, and November 4, 1998. Goal: Support the continuation and expansion of tax incentives for the creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. National Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Make permanent the full deductibility of publicly-traded stock given to private foundations .• \'\\~~) \'J.\~WjReform Act of 1984 changed the law to permit living donors to ~~traded stock to private foundations and to be able to deduct the full ket value for a ten year period. Since then, the provision has been extended three ~~~times, the most recent- through June 1998. Progress: Congress has approved, and th~ President has signed into law, the 1998 Tax Reform Act, including a provision to make permanent the deduction of gifts of publiclytraded stock to a private foundation, retroactive to July 1, 1998. 2. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability. Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that all historical financial data be taken into consideration. History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. (Reilly/Skadden, University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration study sponsored by CMF, 1981 -Private Foundations: The Payout Requirement and Its Effec~ on Investment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study "Spending Policies and Investment Planningfor Foundations", 1995, sponsored by the Council on Foundations.) CMF is sponsoring an updated study which will evaluate the "actual" performance of Michigan's endowed private foundations with assets of more than $5 Million over a forty-year period. Results of this study are expected in Spring 1999. 3 �.... ·-······-·-·- - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - . 29 3. Goal: Change the limitation on gifts to a private foundation from 20 percent to 50 percent. Explanation: Under existing law, the amount deductible by an individual taxpayer for contributions to private non-operating foundations is computed as a percentage of the donor's contribution base (in most cases, his or her adjusted gross income). An individual may deduct only 20 percent of the gifts of appreciated property or 30 percent of gifts of cash. On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50 percent of his contribution base for cash (and 30 percent for appreciated property) for gifts to public charities. 4. Goal: Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer for a gift to a private foundation of certain capital gain property. Explanation: Currently, individual taxpayers may deduct the full fair market value of a gift to a private foundation of appreciated property in the form of publicly-traded stock, if the gift is less than 10 percent of the outstanding stock of the company. However, in other cases, such as privately-held stock, the amount of deduction continues to be limited to the donor' s cost or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The same gift to a public charity entitles tlie taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction. 5. Goal: Reduce excise tax to flat 1 percent instead of the present complicated formula which permits, in some cases, a reduction from 2 to 1 percent. Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from 2 to 1 percent if a foundation's payout for the year in question equals or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets, times the average payout percentage for the five years, plus 1 percent of the foundation's net investment income. 6. Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and repeal the 3 percent floor on itemized deductions. Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, the Congress approved a 3 percent floor in deductions. This floor was scheduled to expire at the end of 1995 but was made permanent effective in 1993. 7. Goal: Limit lineal descendants who are "disqualified persons" at the level of grandchildren. Explanation: In 1984, the law was amended to limit "disqualified persons" to substantial contributors to a foundation and their children, grandchildren, great 4 �30 grandchildren, and their spouses. The amendment provided that substantial contributors will no longer be considered "disqualified persons" if, over a ten-year period, they meet certain requirements to distance themselves from the foundation. However, there is still no logical rationale - - or examples of abuse - - to justify the inclusion of lineal descendants beyond the level of grandchildren. 8. Goal: Modify the law to permit the "out of corpus" requirement to be met by a foreign grantee if sufficient documentation is provided showing that the full amount of the grant was spent for the specified purposes within 12 months after the year the grant was made. Explanation: When making grants to some foreign charities, private foundations are required to treat them as private foundations. Any grant from a private foundation to another private foundation requires that the amount granted "flow through" the grantee and out as qualifying distributions that are made "out of corpus" by the end of the following year. The purpose for this rule is to prevent a foundation from avoiding the payout rule by having one private foundation give to another who then simply adds the grant to its endowment (corpus), with charitable grantees receiving no benefit. In the foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment and totally misunderstands the concept of "out of corpus." 9. Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form which permits itemized deductions; instead they file the short form which allows only a standard deduction. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize charitable contributions within certain limits. Legislation has been introduced, H. R. 2499, which will allow non-itemizers to deduct 50 per cent oftheir Charitable contributions over $500. 10. Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can lobby or otherwise influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that adversely affect grantmaking. Explanation: Oppose unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on charitable and nonprofit grantees of foundations and corporate giving programs and unreasonable limits which adversely impact grantmakers' ability to fund research and evaluation. While progress has been made, continuous monitoring is essential. 11. Goal: Support legislation to eliminate the classification of realized gains and income, derived from leveraged real estate investments by foundations, as unrelated business taxable income. 5 �31 Explanation: Foundations and non-profit organizations are significant investors in the real estate market. Income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Legislation would have private foundations treated in the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain real property. 12. Goal: Permit tax free distribution from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes. Explanation: It is proposed that direct gifts from an IRA to a charitable organization would not be taxed as income to the account-holder who has attained the age of 59-1/2 years of age, known as the IRA- Rollover Bill. It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many charitable organizations, including community foundations. 13 . Goal: Avoid excessive corporate giving regulations. Explanation: Legislation has been introduced which would require public companies annually to disclose to their shareholders the charities to which they made contributions and the amount of each contribution. Other legislation would require public companies annually to let shareholders (based on their proportional share ownership) to decide what charities should receive-contributions. CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation which would require costly administration. 14. Goal: Protect charitable gift annuities. - Explanation: Many public charities, including community foundations, offer donors the opportunity to co te through charitable gift annuities. Under these arrangements, donors m ial gift of property to the charity and receive a fixed income from that ~~\lii death, the balance of the gift passes to the charity. Legislation was ~~-~ le to protecting charitable gift annuities, however, it is being challenged in ~ Result: In June 1998, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that charities are free to join together to set payout rates on gift annuities, ending a four-year old law suit. 6 �32 State Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to community benefits as it relates to non-profits. Explanation: Legislation has been proposed in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Texas which threatens the tax exemption of charitable organizations. CMF, working with others, will closely monitor any related efforts in Michigan. 2. Goal: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from individuals. Explanation: Other states have found a tax deduction favorable to encouraging additional gifts to charities, educational institutions, churches, etc., by individuals. A limited tax deduction is proposed. 3. Goal: Support legislation allowing gifts and bequests received by units of local government (cities, villages, counties, public libraries), to be gifted to community foundations. Progress: Legislation passed by the House and Senate and signed by the Governor, will allow gifts and bequests received by cities, villages, counties, and public libraries to be gifted to community foundations. 4. Goal: Support legislation further defining a community foundation in the State Tax Code. Being considered by House Taxation Committee, March 1998. Explanation: A community foundation is currently defined in the State Tax Code pertaining to the state community foundation tax credit. It is important to further define a community foundation in order to promote permanency and accountability while avoiding duplication of effort in communities and regions of the state. 7 �. .......... ·····--······· -·--- - -····--- - -- - - 33 Progress: Legislation passed by Senate Finance Committee, being considered in House Taxation Committee. Administrative Ruling sought from Department of Treasury to update their definition of a community foundation. 5. Goal: Seek legislation to amend the nonprofit corporation act to allow youth ages 16 and 17 to serve on the boards of nonprofit corporations with vote. Explanation: The Attorney General has issued an opinion that youth under age 18 cannot serve with vote on the boards of nonprofit corporations. Youth with the Michigan Community Foundations Youth Project (MCFYP) State Youth Board feel that, as community foundation youth advisory committee members demonstrate their grantmaking skills, these youth should be given the ability if asked to serve on boards of nonprofit organizations. In addition, several nonprofit organizations serving youth have indicated an interest in having youth serve on their boards. Progress: H. B. 5906 has been approved by the House and a Committee Meeting is scheduled for December 1, 1998, in the Senate to begin consideration of the Bill. 6. Goal: Support legislation allowing gifts and bequests received by public school systems to be gifted to community foundations. Explanation: While a number of community foundations have scholarship funds established by school systems, Michigan law is currently "grey" on this issue. Legislation will remove the uncertainty and promote further partnerships between school systems and community foundations. Progress: As a result of the success of Goal3, legislation has been prepared by John Martin, counsel for the Fremont Area Foundation, which will be introduced in January in the Senate. 8 �r; 34 _) CMF Activity 1. Regularly communicate with elected officials of federal, state, and local levels about foundation activities and concerns. 2. Encourage Member foundations to report grants and activities to government officials. 3. Encourage Members in each Michigan Congressional District to meet as a group with their legislator, when the legislator is in District, to discuss the local contributions of community and private foundations and corporate giving. 4. Support public reporting for foundations, beyond the reports required by law, and provide technical assistance for those foundations seeking to print an annual report or guidelines. Assist in distribution efforts. 5. Expand efforts to explain foundations and their problems to the grantee organizations and the general public. 6. Encourage meetings with local editorial boards and the media about foundation activities and concerns. 7. Develop state legislative network by House and Senate districts and enhance communication with key committee leadership. 8. Continue discussions with the Michigan Attorney General's Office regarding community and private foundation concerns. 9. Encourage meetings with Executive Branch of state government. 10. Sponsor periodic seminars for state legislators, department chiefs and their staffs. i:ewp:comm/govt/legstmnt/sept-98 9 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rappleye, Chair, Audit & Finance Committee Re: CMF & Supporting Organization's September 30, 1998 Financial Statements Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations September 30, 1998 Financial Report be accepted, as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. On October 21, 1998, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee reviewed and approved the enclosed financial statements. Overall results of the enclosed financial statements are within management's expectation with the exception of the endowment funds' investment earnings. Recent market conditions have resulted in the year-to-date investment income for the CMF and MCFYP endowment funds falling below budget. The investment report in the next tab will provide greater detail on this ISSUe. Consolidated Balance Sheet Cash & Cash Equivalents The relative high cash balance for MCFYP is due to the dollars that are required to meet programming needs and challenge grant commitments for the community foundations. Net Assets MCFYP currently holds two endowment funds. The Board Designated Fund, valued at $3,743,056, represents investment earnings that will be used to fund future programs for community foundations. The second fund is the KYIP fund, valued at $5,846,440, which will be used to set up endowment funds for youth programming needs in the Marquette-Alger counties, Calhoun County and Detroit areas. While the accounts receivable balance for the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) and the grants payable balance for MCFYP and MAF are significant, these balances are not unusual for this time ofyear. I:\DLINDBER\BOARDME1\CMF\1998\M110498.doc �13 Consolidated Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets The six month financial results for MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund indicate that expenses are expected to remain within budget for 1998-99 and revenue should remain at or above budget with the exception of investment earnings for the MCFYP endowment funds. The investment earnings for MCFYP are not anticipated to affect current programming needs. As a reminder to this board, the individual boards ofMCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund are responsible for reviewing their individual statements in detail. Core Operations Statement of Activities Note 1: Conference Income & Expenses The variances from budget are due to the timing of host contributions received for the annual conference and deposits paid on events for the upcoming conference. Note 2: Investment Income Investment income has remained strong due to the earnings from funds received for special projects. Note 3: Salaries Salaries for 1998-99 are anticipated to remain over budget for the year due to the wages for the Detroit office position, which are now being charged directly to the CMF core operations. When funding was received for the Detroit office CMF had agreed to fund the wages for this position from the Core Operations. In prior years the funding for this position was accounted for as a transfer from the Core Operations fund balance at the end of the year. To clear up any confusion on how the funding for the Detroit office is being handled, management has decided to re-class the wages for this position from Special Projects to the CMF Core Operations. For 1998-99 the cost to fund this position by CMF's core operations will total approximately $76,000. To fund this unbudgeted expense, management has reviewed the year-to-date financial results and projects the following variances from budget. Member contributions Investment income Postage Computer Printing Increase by $29,000 due to an increase in the asset levels of our members and projected new members for 1998-99. Increase by $30,000 due to investment earnings on special project funding. Decrease by $5,000 based on 1997-98level of expenses (taking into account a 10% increase in September). Decrease by $5,000 due to items budgeted for 1998-99 that were purchased in the prior year. Decrease by $6,500 due to adjustments in anticipated printing costs.

Cummings for Ann Irish, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Re: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following family philanthropy activities: The Family Philanthropist We are very excited about our new biannual newsletter for philanthropic families. The Family Philanthropist features educational and inspirational philanthropic stories of individuals and families. It permits families already involved in philanthropy to share stories and lessons learned, while at the same time encouraging others to consider developing a philanthropic mission. In addition, each issue will include short articles of particular interest to individuals and families involved with giving, such as book reviews, frequently asked questions, and best grants. A copy of the first issue is enclosed in the back of the Board book. Sample"'Documents for Family Foundations Sales of Sample Documents for Family Foundations continue to be strong, thanks in part to a new marketing brochure. Released in May at our Family Philanthropy Getaway, this resource binder features 28 sample documents, ranging from a sample mission statement to foundation job descriptions. The brochure has been mailed to all Michigan family foundations, all family foundations across the country with assets above $200,000 and other regional associations of grantmakers. Sample Documents includes a disk of all featured documents for easy adaptation. Regional Meeting for new Family Foundations Mrs. Mimi Haas, President of the Miriam and Peter Haas Fund of San Francisco, was the featured speaker for a "Conversation About Family Philanthropy" graciously hosted by CMF Trustee Julie and Peter Cummings on October 8. Including Trustees Gil Hudson and Ted Doan, about forty individuals representing potential family foundations and existing family foundations participated in this special discussion. The response has been very positive, and we look forward to having similar events in other part of the state. ., ___ While Mrs. Haas was in Detroit, she visited the Cooper Elementary School, a Detroit public elementary school supported by the programs of the Lovelight Foundation, and Fox Tots, a child care center for Little Caesar Enterprises. In addition, she spoke to 35 . �21 Detroit area grantmakers on the Haas Fund's early care and education initiatives at a special luncheon for Detroit grantmakers. Annual Conference The Annual Conference is featuring six special family philanthropy sessions: • • • • • • "Small Grants: Big Impact"- a discussion of how small and medium-sized family foundations can have an impact, "Responsible Stewardship: Maintaining Your Family's Legacy" - sharing how to encourage succeeding generational involvement while maintaining the donor's intent, "Growing Pains" - exploring the common problems associated with foundation growth, "Learning From Each Other" - an opportunity for peer networking, "A Conversation with Cole Wilbur", who has managed The David and Lucile Packard Foundation from its inception, and the "Family Foundation Peer Reception" sponsored by the Ransom Fidelity Company. Family Foundation Membership Family foundations continue to be the larges! membership group for CMF with four new members bringing the total to 164 as of October 12 . ... ,_ . l.· � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
