Johnson Re: President's Report Since the February Board Meeting, volunteers and staff have been busy on many diverse activities. The following summary highlights both accomplishments and projects that are in the pipeline through November. Additional information can be provided on each item. I. Conferences & Meetings Evaluation Institute More than 75 attended the February Evaluation Institute- more than double the expected attendance! Staff is working with Joyce Brown of theW. K. Kellogg Foundation- our facilitator- on follow-up activities. Due to the popularity of the topic, we may make this an annual event. Detroit Area Grantmakers A Planning Committee Meeting is scheduled to help organize the 1998-99 schedule of meetings. Evaluations are now coming in for this past season of meetings at which attendance averaged 50. One comment seems to sum it up: "all in all, one of the best years ever!" Stephen Nedwicki, Vice President, Comerica Incorporated, and Elizabeth C. Sullivan, Vice President-Program, The Kresge Foundation, lead the effort. Literature and the Professions Professor Sandy Lottor will be facilitating three sessions, two in Detroit on June 11, and one in Charlevoix before the Members Reception. One of the Detroit sessions is being offered for the first time to the executive directors of nonprofit organizations. The two short stories being featured this year are The Loons, by Margaret Laurence, and Shooting an Elephant, by George Orwell, centered around the theme of risk-taking and decisionmaking. Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative Staff and trustees, representing the 21 shoreline community foundations participating in the Collaborative, will be having their third annual meeting at the Inn at Watervale, on June 13- 15. Technical assistance will be offered on communications and planned giving. The community foundations are having success in convening community meetings and raising permanent environmental endowment funds. Fifteen of the community foundations have submitted letters of intent to participate in Phase II, for which funding is now being sought. �···------ - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - , 55 Devolution Seminar CMF will be working with the Skillman Foundation to sponsor a September Workshop on Devolution, in Lansing. This will continue the Devolution Meetings hosted by The Skillman Foundation, and our goal is to have more grantmakers participate in this important activity. Volunteerism Super Conference Colin Powell spoke to a luncheon crowd of more than 1,000 at Lansing's Civic Center as the highlight of the Super Conference. I was delighted to be with the Governor for the presentation of the Mawby Award to Hugh and Eileen Starks from Midland. It was great to see Ted Doan and a large group of supporters from Midland present for the awards ceremony. CMF staff were involved as presenters for several of the workshops held at the Conference. National Center on Nonprofit Boards The May 7 National Teleconference entitled Board & Staff: Creating a Strong Relationship was a sold out event in Dearborn with more than 40 in attendance. We are now distributing tapes from the Teleconference and planning on a bigger room for the October session. The session was made possible by the Ford Motor Fund and cosponsored with the Accounting Aid Society II. Information Services Replacement of computers Ten computer workstations were replaced this winter, and we plan to continue rotating replacement of workstations on a three-year cycle. The new computers enable staff to more easily open attachments, access the Internet, update our association and accounting software, use a more reliable e-mail and desktop faxing software, and prepare publications for the World Wide Web. The transition to a Windows NT network operating system went very smoothly, and the new operating system is much easier to administer, and is more reliable as well as more compatible with the work we do. Website CMF's website continues to be an excellent communication tool- recording over 10,000 hits since its introduction. The library database is now searchable via the Web, providing ready access to our unique and valuable index of over 4500 volumes, and more than 1000 audio and video cassettes. The MCFYP website is increasing in popularity, recording more than 700 hits to date. Three interactive real-time chats have been hosted during the Spring. --------. - - - - -- -- �·······- ·· ····- ·-·- -- - -- -- - - - - - - - -- -- - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - - - . 56 Here is a sample comment from one youth who has visited the site: "Hello fellow YACers.

In September, we're giving info about YAC to the Canadian Student Leadership Conference. It's not just an American thing anymore - YOUTH RULES!" III. Publications The Michigan Foundation Directory, l Oth Edition This spring we distributed more than 2,000 copies of the Update to purchasers of the 1oth Edition. Microsoft Access-based directory software has been developed in cooperation with other RAGs and is in-house for use in producing the 11th Edition. We anticipate production of the 11th edition as the first ever-electronic directory, along with the print version, available both on floppy and CD RO for a competitive price. With the 11th Edition scheduled for fall distribution, the fire sale has now begun for remaining copies of the 1Oth Edition. (It is now available for $1 0 a copy, so let staff know if you would like to pick up some copies for your grantees.) Community Foundations Serving Rural Areas This special publication written by Karen Tice from FERA has been updated and · reprinted to respond to the many requests received for information on developing community foundations in rural areas. It was distributed at the recent Canadian Community Foundations Conference. Welfare Reform: Community Challenges in Bridging Welfare to Work At this winter's Skillman Foundation Meeting on Devolution, we learned that Professor Sandra Danziger from the University of Michigan had written this article for the McGregor Fund's Board of Trustees. We are grateful to David Campbell and to Sandy Danziger for updating the article and allowing us to disseminate multiple copies to all CMF members. Nonprofit Management Training Resource Catalog CMF partnered with the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) in producing this Catalog, in newspaper form for the Volunteerism Super Conference. Our members each received a copy in the May issue of Memo to Members. MNA will now keep the Catalog updated as part of their website services. .· "' Establishing & Administering A Scholarship Program - Third Edition The Third Edition is being premiered at the June 9 Leadership Academy for new Community Foundation staff and trustees, when Anne Fergeman ofthe Kalamazoo ·Foundation teaches the session on scholarships. We have merged into the publication the booklet Community Foundation Scholarship Program Guidelines for Membership Clubs, Corporations and Associations, by our legal counsel Duane Tarnacki. We expect many �57 requests for this publication, and have already sent a copy to a foundation in Florida. We are grateful to Grand Valley State University for providing CMF intern John Clements, who helped with editing. Establishing A Charitable Foundation in Michigan - Third Edition The Third Edition has been completed by Duane Tamacki and his colleagues at Clark Hill. Judy Carl, our Communications Director, is working on layout, and we expect to have this important publication available for sale in early July. IV. Partnerships Corporation for National Service I have been recently appointed by President Clinton to serve on this board, currently chaired by Bob Rodgers, Chairman, Ewing Kaufman Foundation, in Kansas City. The board is responsible for implementing many of the service initiatives undertaken by the federal government including Americorp, Learn & Serve, VISTA, and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. FORUM of RAGS I have accepted the position of Chair of the new Promotion of Philanthropy Initiative - a $10 million effort to support collaborative efforts by RAGS and other partners to promote philanthropy. Three major funders have committed $3 million to date. The FORUM hopes to fund its first projects in the fall. Russell G. Mawby has agreed to serve on the Advisory Board. Donor's Forum of Ohio Meeting In May I gave the plenary address at the first statewide meeting of Ohio community foundation board members and directors. They were very interested in the Michigan experience and what we do together that can be replicated in Ohio. I have placed the $1,000 honorarium in the Mawby Fund, to be used for a collaborative effort between Ohio and Michigan grantmakers to increase philanthropy. Connecticut Coordinating Council on Foundations Also in May, I spoke in Hartford about CMF's experience as a statewide Regional Association of Grantmakers, what has been accomplished, and the lessons learned which could be valuable in Connecticut, as they expand their geography statewide and take on a new purpose to increase philanthropy in the state. The Coordinating Council of Connecticut has recently released a new publication, "Giving in Connecticut", which could be helpful to CMF in our efforts. Grantseeking Seminars Staff continue to conduct workshops for grantseekers with recent groups including the Great Lakes Commission Michigan Meeting, a State Public Health Conference for Agencies on Violence Prevention, and the State Conference on Affordable Housing. �58 Michigan Funders Interested in K-12 Education Three Michigan grantmakers --Leah Austin, W. K. Kellogg Foundation; C. David Campbell, McGregor Fund; and John Ziraldo, The Skillman Foundation, are exploring with CMF, the feasibility of forming an interest group around issues in K-12 education and the lessons learned not only in the state, but nationally. Ideally, a meeting will be held this summer with the interested parties from foundations and corporations. i :ewp :comm ittee/brdtrst/98meetings/j unepres � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How should the nonprofit sector and organized philanthropy respond? We are pleased that Lynn Jondahl, a veteran of state government and currently co-director of the Michigan Political Leadership Program at Michigan State University, will be joining us at the Board Meeting to discuss the answer to this question and the implications that term limits have for our state. Joining Lyn in the discussion will be Ranny Reicker, Chair of the CMF Government Relations Committee, and Leonard Smith, President of the Skillman Foundation, and former CMF Chair. As background information, we have enclosed a copy of Michigan Braces for Term Limits by Craig Ruff, President of Public Sector Consultants. Craig identifies the following 15 consequences of term limits, which he refers to as sure bets. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Leaders will lack seasoning. Turnover will have tsunami-like proportions: Impatience will be the order of the day. Diminution of institutional memory will create an error-prone process. Political professionalism will decline. Titans and the power/wisdom of seniority will be a thing of the past. There may be wild shifts in partisan control. Michigan's inherent fiscal conservatism will deepen. There won't be time to build trust. The Senate will gain power and attention. More women, minorities, and Republicans will enter the legislature, and they will gain appreciably more power. There will be more local government experience in the state capitol. Legislative leadership will be weak. The power of Lansing's premier lobbyists will grow. Legislators will be less productive. CMF is already involved in an important response to term limits by partnering with the Michigan Nonprofit Association through the new Michigan Public Policy Institute to produce Michigan In Brief Michigan In Brief is a summary of more than 70 key issues many affecting the nonprofit sector - being published in both book and cd-rom format for use in the campaign season this summer. It will also be on the Internet so that it can be easily updated. Mr. Jondahl is assisting on the Advisory Committee for this Project as well. �,-................ ...... --- 27 Michigan Braces for Term Limits by Craig Ruff, President ~ 0 00 • 0 ~ > 'd <C In November 1992, Michigan voters approved placing limits on the number of terms that an individual may serve in elective state office . This paper reviews the context of the voters' approval of term limits, describes changes already underway, and examines future consequences of this once-in-alifetime shakeup of our politics. T erm limitation takes effect in 1998, and during the next five years, state elective government will be strip-mined of familiar faces, institutional memory, and individual expertise on issues. WHAT VOTERS INTENDED Term limitation began as a populist brushfire in Oklahoma in 1989, then spread quickly to the Pacific coast states of Washington and California. By this time the brush fire had become a movement, largely fueled by people fed up with political corruption and careerism, and in Michigan, in 1991, it jelled into a successful petition drive to place on the 1992 statewide ballot a constitutional amendment limiting the number of terms that elected state executives, legislators, and representatives in Congress may serve. Polled by Public Sector Consulta!:lts after the November 1992 election, state voters reasoned that term limits will • • • • bring new ideas and people to state government, cause politicians to do what is right rather than what is popular, control interest group influence, and keep politicians more in touch with the citizenry. They also recognized that it will • ' 0 0 ~ c 11c Sector Consultants, Inc. 600 W.

While Democrat-leaning voters split evenly on the term limits amendment, 66 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of ticket-splitters supported it. The issue won support across all groups, including self-described liberals, conservatives, and moderates, all races, every region of the state, all ages, and both genders. Readers will remember that, as a backdrop to the 1992 elections, political alienation was setting all-time highs. Nearly half of Michigan's residents believed that politicians do not keep their promises, cannot be trusted to do the right thing, and do not tell the truth. One in three Americans would not have objected to auctioning off seats in Congress to the highest bidder; half thought that drawing names out of a hat would be as effective as are elections as a means of picking members of Congress. Fewer Americans (only 8 percent) trusted government than believed that Elvis was still alive ( 10 percent) . June 6, 1997 �28 Facts bore out the perceptions that at least some people in public life viewed politics as a career and that incumbents were.all but invincible (recently, 94-year-old Strom Thurmond marked his 41st year in the Senate, setting its alltime record of service). In 1990, ·the average tenure in the Michigan Senate and House was roughly 11 and 10 years, respectively; 10 legislators had served more than 20 years. From 1967 to 1990, in 1,210 primary elections for the House, only 28 incumbents lost renomination bids (2.3 percent). In the same number of general elections, just 32 incumbents lost (2.6 percent). During the same time there were 190 primary and 190 general elections for Senate seats, in which only 10 incumbents lost their bid for renomination (5.3 percent), and 6 others were defeated in November general elections (3.2 percent). The rate of reelection exceeded 90 percent. EARLY SIGNS OF "LIMITITIS" Symptoms of term limits kicked in quickly following the 1992 constitutional change. In 1993 two veteran members of the House Appropriations Committee, David Hollister and Charlie Harrison, surrendered their influential positions and safe seats to run successfully for mayor of Lansing and Pontiac, respectively. Floyd Clack, Sal Rocca, Greg Pitoniak, and Teola Hunter eventually would join them in moving into local elected offices; Sens. Doug Carl and Virgil Smith and Rep. Tracey Yokich tried, but lost their bids for local offices. In politics, unlike other professions, downward mobility-moving from state to municipal office-frequently . is more profitable, rewarding, and comfortable. Maneuvering accelerated following the 1996~elections. Without the option of s~king another term in the House, 66 of the 110 members began hatching their exit plans. Rep. Greg Pitoniak struck early, resigning to become mayor of Taylor. Eyeing bids to challenge state senators in 1998, whose term limits do not kick in until 2002, are at least 10 representatives. In the three previous election cycles of the Senate (1986, 1990, and 1994) only two Public Sector Reports This publication is part of the Public Sector Reports subscription service, which provides timely information on emerging state and national public policy and commentary on political matters.

The senators are warily seeking to minimize the crowing of and credit given potential competitors. Other state representatives are weighing future bids for local office, including city council seats, mayoralties, county commission seats, and county positions such as clerk, treasurer, and prosecuting attorney. A few are handicapping runs for such statewide office . as attorney general. Still others are looking at job opportunities in Lansing-positions in the executive branch, in trade associations, and in lobbying firms. The larger number probably will gracefully go back to private life, retiring or returning to such former pursuits as teaching, farming, and law. Still others are engaging in "heir apparency"-plotting the succession of others to their own soon-to-be vacated seats. In some cases, the heir presumptive is a relative, most notably a spouse. One husband-and-wife team already has tag-teamed: In 1994 Sal Rocca withdrew from his reelection race at the eleventh hour, to successfully ease the way for his wife, Sue, to win his Sterling Heights seat. Expect at least three marital seat swaps in 1998. Reps. Alma Stallworth and Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick helped �-----------------------------------------, 29 ---~ ---Upwardly mobile representatives breed new tension in the legislative process.

The senators are warily seeking to minimize the crowing of and credit given potential competitors. state legislative seats. !)y 2008, bo th legislative chambers in these 20 states will have undergone a complete turnover. The Michigan Legislature is harder hit by term limits than is the case in many of these 20 states. Ours is a highly professional, full-time, well-paid body, Jomtnated by professionals in public life; thts is in contrast to states in which the legislature is largely citizen dominated and meets 60 or 90 days a year. Turnover in Michigan is lower than average; policy expertise and legislative length of stay are much greater. California adopted a term limits plan identical to ours two years before we did . And because the California legislatme is similar to ours-full time, well paid, and highly professional- we can look to some of California's experiences as indicators of what we may expect. Sure Bets their respective sons, Keith and Kwame, move into their seats in 1996. In other cases, instances of which will become more frequent, members are boosting into their places loyal staff persons like Eileen DeHart (who worked for Rep. Justine Barns) and Derrick Hale (who worked with Rep. Michael Bennane). CONSEQUENCES OF TERM LIMITS Twenty states now limit legislative service, affecting more than one-third of the nation's 7,424 Fifteen consequences-some good, some not so good--of term limits in Michigan's legislature are rather predictable. Leaders will lack seasoning. The 1998 election will bring a massive turnover in the Michigan House of Representatives. Something like 72-7 5 members, close to two-thirds of the body, will not return. The first glimpse of term limits' most profound effect on the legislative process will be seen by voters in the 19992000 House session: The chamber will be led by a Speaker with no more than four years' legisla- rive cxpcncnce, ;md the nuts ;md bolts of its business- ·commtttce work- will be guided by chairs of equally short tenure. Turnover will have tsunami-like proportions. Every sixth year in the House and eighth in the Senate will wipe out vast maJorities in each chamber, unless the tnterv enin g election cycles yield unexpectedly large numbers of re tirem ents and defeats that even o ut the carnage. But voluntary retirements likely will decline dramatically from levels of the past: Why would a person seek an office limited to six years' service if s/he is inclined to serve for only two or four? Defeat rates likewise will be lower than in the past: Wannabees just will wait a few years, until the incumbent is forced off the ballot, and avoid having to go headto-head against the power of the incumbency. The exhibit presents a turnover scenario; shading indicates years in which turnover will be highest. It is no stretch to prophesy that Michigan state government will tum upside down in those political witching years in which the six-year House mass exodus overlaps the eight-year Senate exodus, e.g., in 2010. Under the scenario presented in the exhibit, in 2010 we could experience a turnover of 77 percent in the House and 84 percent in the Senate! Impatience will be the order of the day. Legislators will have a gunl in the form of a clock, to their heads. And with impatience comes more mistakes, more risk taking, and more zeal, Public Sector Consultants, Inc. 3 �30 MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE: TURNOVER SCENARIO Election Year Number of Term-Limited Members Defeats Retirements* Expected Turnover House of Representatives (110 seats) 1998 65 2 6 73 2000 18 3 3 24 2002 25 3 3 31 2004 69 2 4 75 2 2 25 2006 21 2008 26 2 2 30 2010 73 2 3 78 2012 22 2 2 26 2014 26 2 2 30 2016 77 2 3 82 Senate (38 seats) 1998 0 4 2002 30 2006 8 0 1 2010 31 0 4 8 31 1 10 32 34 2014 10 1 2 - 2016 32 1 13 • Some members eligible for reeleciion will seek other offices or, for other reasons, choose not to run again. rashness, and passion. A Mozartian fatalism may pervade the scene: How many people look at their output, ponder Mozart's death at age 35, and think "When Mozart was my age, he'd been dead for xx years-l'd better get busy!" Diminution of institutional memory will combine with impatience to create an errorprone process. Fewer long-inthe-tooth veterans will be around to guide newcomers away from mistakes. Having gone through umpteen budget battles, veterans have the institutional memory that cautions them to resist, for instance, cutting off funds for PBB 4 Public Sector Consultants, Inc. surveillance or slashing state programs that have federal matching funds that will be lost. What memory remains will be in the hands of career civil servants, trade association members, and lobbyists. Political professionalism will decline. The legislature will become more appeal ing to amateur politicians. Champions of term limits promote it as a means of restoring Jeffersonian dreams of farmers, business people, bankers, and tradesmen sacrificing a few years of their chosen profession to provide a public service through elected office. Certainly, the type of people who run will be different; this is borne out by a poll taken shortly after California adopted term limits that revealed that one-third of its legislature would not have run for the office in the first place had term limits then been in effect. You may recall the conversation in "Casablanca," in which Bogart's character is questioned about why he had settled in North Africa 15 years earlier. Bogart: I came for the waters . Q: You came here for waters? What waters? We're in a desert. Bogart: I was misinformed. Many incoming legislators will find that they have been "misinformed" about what it is like to have to legislate-the process, dynamics, content, and mysteries of setting policy and spending $40 billion annually for the betterment of nearly 10 million people; worse yet, they will have to move on before they ever really learn how, only to be replaced by others who are similarly misinformed. Titans and the power/wisdom of seniority will be a thing of the past. The chairman of the House Appropriations traditionally has been a Titan-an individual with the personal sway, stature, accumulated power, and institutional memory that enables him to rein in insurgencies and maintain discipline. Five recent Titans come to mind: Copeland ( 16), Jacobetti (20), Dick Young (28), Gilmer (16), Hood (26); the figure following each name is the number of years he served in the House prior to assuming the appropriations chair. �31 Starting in 1999, future chairs of the House Appropriations Committee (next to the Speaker, the most powerful job in the lower chamber) will never have more than four (!) years of legislative service. They will be strangers to many of their colleagues. On their very first day as chairman, they will be lame ducks and too weak to mold and hold consensus. There may be wild shifts in partisan control. With so many legislative seats contested without an incumbent, we are apt to see elections in which partisan tides sweep huge gains or losses into the two chambers. The reason the Republicans could not win control of the state House in the Reagan landslides of 1980 and 1988-or, likewise, the Democrats failed to win control of the State Senate in the Blanchard landslide of 1986- is because so many well-known and popular incumbents were insulated from becoming victims of a dreadful partisan year. The odds are slim and none that one party ever again will have long-term domination, as the Democrats did in controlling the state House from 1969 to 1992. Shifts in party control alone will cause shifts in public policy, and they will be accentuated because representatives of passionate minorities and ideologies will be more likely than before to break through electoral barriers. One can imagine the growth in representation of people who represent niche issues like one side or the other of the abortion or firearms debates. Their allegiance will be to their cause, not to their political party. Partisan discipline will become tougher to enforce, whether in the electing a House Speaker or on a key vote in the Senate. Michigan's inherent fiscal conservatism will deepen. Seventy-two percent of state General Fund revenues are now "earmarked," i.e., they must be put to a designated purpose; this leaves few discretionary dollars for all other state programs and services. Term-limited lawmakers will not be apt to support one another's pet projects, as legislators now do, either out of deference to Titans or stemming from the camaraderie and friendship born of years of serving together. Short stints in the capitol will mean narrower legislative perspective: Lawmakers will keep their eye on the local ball and be disinclined to explore the "big picture"-the best interest of 10 million people. An understanding of the need to balance the local view with the statewide perspective will be relatively rare. There won't be time to build trust. Trust guides political behavior, notwithstanding the perception of the cynical public. Honor of word, respect, and integrity are integral to the political process. But learning who to trust-whether a colleague on floor, a bureau head in a state department, or a lobbyist in town-takes time and experience. Time, under term limits, will not allow the normal sizing up of credibility and identifica- tion of people who know the facts, dispense them objectively, and can be counted on to be truthfuL Facts always will benegotiable in politics and never more so than under term limits. Newcomers to the legislature have at first always relied for information and perspective more on the people back home than on those they don't yet know well in Lansing. Under term limits, the shift never will be made from local to broader trust. This means that the local school superintendent's voice may be louder than that of the lobbyist for the association of school administrators. The neighborhood grocer's comments about item pricing and bar codes will ring truer than the message delivered by the state grocery industry spokesperson. The Senate will gain power and attention. Former House Speaker Paul Hillegonds was the first to conjecture that the Senate will gain and the House of Representatives will lose influence as term limits phases in. One reason is that many representatives will be moving to the Senate, taking with them substantial legislative experience and policy knowledge, leaving lessexperienced people to replace them in the House. In California, 21 assemblymen have moved into the 40-member state Senate. Also, senators enjoy longer tenure than representatives (eight versus six years), and there are fewer of them (38 versus 110); hence, lobbyists likely will invest more time both with the Senate . Public Sector Consultants, Inc. 5 �32 as a whole and with individual members. With House members' terms expiring every two years and a host of them leavtng every biennium, lobbyists will find themselves spread far too thin to cover all representatives and will focus instead on the smaller, more-longevous upper chamber. More women, minorities, and Republicans will enter the legislature, and they will gain appreciably more power. Longtime incumbents, first elected in an era in which women and minorities were seen by many voters as less credible officeholders, will be moving aside to make way for newcomers. In the California Assembly, women members have increased (from 16 to 20), as have Hispanic-Americans (from 4 to 14) and Asian-Americans (from none to 2). Women now lead 12 of the Assembly's 2 7 committees, including its appropriations body. In the Michigan House, women now chair only 8 of the 28 committees; in the Senate, the lone majority (Republican) woman chairs two committees. Republicans probably will fare marginally better than now. For starters, Republican sympathizers instinctively feel less sanguine about the role of government and, therefore, traditionally have had less an appetite for going into the business of politics than have Democrats. Likewise, the GOP "farm team" is weakerthere are fewer Republicans than Democrats in local elected posts, frequently the springboard to state legislative office. Moreover, the Republican Party has found 6 Public Sector Consultants, Inc. it difficult to recruit their more prominent civic leaders to run for the legislature because of the financial sacrifice they would endure. The shorter-term commitments of a citizen-based legislature will be more appealing to some Republicans than the fulltime, long-term commitments of the present. There will be more localgovernment experience in the state capitol. It is natural for a county commissioner, city council member, township trustee, or school board member to use local identity and organization as a springboard to the legislature. Currently, 25-30 percent of state legislators formerly held local office. This percentage easily could double over time _ f\s a consequence, future legislatures may be more sensitive to municipal roles and responsibilities and more attentive to municipal issues such as jails, local roads, K-12 education, and land use planning, zoning, and annexation. Legislative leadership will be weak. Perhaps no other consequence matches this in its effect on the flow and nature of public policy. Leadership stints will be short. Virtually the moment a Senate majority/minority leader or the Speaker of the House assumes office, s/he will be a lame duck, far less capable than before in disciplining wayward members, setting committee and floor agendas, and managing the flow of legislation. Florida's Speaker of the House, T. K. Weathell, describes term limits as "clear-cutting old forests. They don't bother the underbrush much, but they're hell on the tall timber." Perhaps even more important is that legislative leaders will have, in policy negotiation with the governor, far less assurance than before that they can honor deals brokered behind the scenes. This leaves governors with potentially less policy clout. To forge majorities, both legislative leaders and governors may have to spend a good deal of time negotiating with hosts of individual legislators, and, far more frequently than today, have to compromise away details to pick up a few added votes. The power of Lansing's premier lobbyists will grow. Much of state government's institutional memory will reside with lobbyists-individuals, multi-client lobby firms, and trade associations. Lobbying firms and trade associations likely will grow in size as their clients and members demand that relationships be quickly established with all legislative newcomers. I believe lobbyists increasingly will recruit and finance candidates and offer them in-kind election help (research, sound bites, and organizing tips), which will enable the lobbyists to get a head start in relationship building. Until now, they generally have had an easier time of it; they simply backed the incumbent and didn't have to intervene in the races for the few open seats. Legislators will be less productive. I predict that any given state representative's attitudes �------------ ------------- - - - - - - - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . 33 during his/her three tenus will be, respectively, "Do n't know," "Don't rock the boat," and "Don't care." Quite possibly, the third and fo urth years- the middle term-of House service will be the most productive for the average member, but committee leadership generally will not come until the fifth and sixth yearsthe final, "don't care," term. Wild Cards There are two other frequently discussed changes, but the jury is out on whether they actually will come to pass. The executive branch will run amok. Many people believe that term limits will vastly expand the power of the executive branch-the governor and the career civil servants in departments and agencies. It is true that unsophisticated and inexperienced legislators may cede to the executive branch the power of knowledge, memory, and data. It also is true that if legislators let _themselves be dominated by local issues and perspective, they will lack the heart and expertise to lead on statewide problems. But, as I mentio ned earlier, because legislative leaders will be weaker than before, future governors will find themselves tied up in much more extensive legislative negotiation, and these chief executives will confront considerably more chiseling away of their policy initiatives . Remember, too, that the governor also is term limited; if reelected, s/he immediately is a lame duck. Finally, many Michigan governors (in recent memory, Swainson , Milliken, and Engler) were capitol insiders upon taking office: They knew legislative leaders go ing in-their temperament, personal history, trustworthiness, and interests. In the future, even capitol insiders who make it to governor will see hosts o f new, unkn o wn fac es being sworn into office at the same time. With re s pect t o the bureaucracy's influence, it can be argued that technocrats will be the repos ito ries of kn owledge about po licy issues and hence, they will gain influence. But it is possible that the legislative staff, to stay competitive, will grow into greater policy professiona lism. Because many legislative staffers today earn more than the legislators, it is fairly easy to predict that many term-limited lawmakers will move into appointed staff positions, thereby preserving institutional memory and procedural experience within the legislative branch. Also arguing against the technocrats winning all the marbles is that with legislators serving shorter stints and party contro l of the chambers shifting back and forth, it is hard to see how civil servants will be able to gain and retain the levels of trust, familiarity, and confidence that many now enjoy with legislators and legislative leaders. Moderation in the pace of making public policy will be lost. With term limits, one can envision an incredibly rapid pace that stems from the impatience, immaturity, wild swings in party control, ideological fervor, passion, and the disappearance of Titans. Elec ti on mand ates may be stretched beyo nd propo rtion. Whole statu tory codes ~ould be written and rewritten with each new wave of sen ators and represe nta tives. Howev e r, th e pace c o uld slacken, as is n ow occurring in Ca lifo rni a. Loca l, Balka ni ze d interests can para lyze th e leg islative process. A ma teurism can lead to sluggishness; inexpe ri enced legislato rs can become en snared in procedural details. Less capital city camaraderie can lead to fewer negotiated deals. The upwardly mobile tend to exercise great caution, les t they unse ttle their chances of making a move to higher office. COPING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES Evermore, chaos theory expla ins better than linear reasoning the changes hitting society. Likely, students of the former will be better than political scientists at predicting the political and policy consequences of term limits. This much we know: All dynamics of state policymaking will change. Bartholomew Gill, an Irish myste ry writer, nea tly sums up an important difference between the genders, but the distinction he makes is applicable to making public policy, and future legislators would be well served to heed it. Men go at everything hammers and tongs, with fists clenched, but life is best approached on the carom-gently, obliquely, with some understanding of different spheres. Public Sector Consultants, Inc. 7 �- -- -- - ------- -------- ---- -----~-------------------------------------------------. 34 The art of the carom is the science of working with term limits. Many people grossly oversimplify term limits' effects and consequences; they either proclaim the change to be the greatest revitalization of democracy since Jefferson or foretell the utter disinstitutionalization of democracy. The benefits and drawbacks of such a complex, crosscutting change as term limits are not black and white, with clear winners and losers. More important, politics-among all professionsmost easily finds ways to adapt. It is in the very nature of politics and politicians to be malleable and flexible, brokering one side against another, ever seeking the comfortable consensus and center. The hallmark of politics is resilience. Government's internal processes will change, but the public may not witness a penny's worth of difference in policy outcomes. Michigan's politics adapted very well to the Progressive Era's introduction of secret balloting, the initiative, and the referendum. They adapted to enormous changes struck in the 1963 state constitution. They adapted to one-man, one-vote. They will adapt to term limits. © 1997 PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Public Sector Consultants has published three previous papers on this subject: "Political Tenure" (by Craig Ruff, 1990), "Term Limitation: Unraveling the Constitution" (by Rep.

Mawby, Chair K -12 Education in Philanthropy Project Re: Progress Report Tab 13 The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project has completed its first year. Lessons: The forty-three teachers involved in writing lessons have submitted over 250 draft plans. These lessons have been pilot-tested in each teacher's classroom this spring. At the Steering Committee meeting in May, members reviewed videotape of a second grade classroom in Munising, where the teacher taught her lesson on "selfishness" versus "selflessness". Other student work from VanZile Elementary and Woodward Elementary Schools in the Detroit Public School District, St. Alphonsus Elementary School in Grand Rapids, Mt. Pleasant High School, and Romulus High School, were also on display as samples. An independent committee of educators, foundation representatives, and volunteers has reviewed each lesson for fairness. Field-Testing: Each lesson will be field-tested by five classroom teachers during the fall semester of 1998. Volunteer teachers have already been identified from the states of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Maine, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Arizona. Telephone calls and direct teacher contacts have been made in Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, California, Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. Volunteers from these states are expected shortly. The staffhas set an internal goal to have some of the lessons field-tested in each of the states this fall. All of the lessons will be field-tested in Michigan classrooms. Michigan teachers are still needed. Representatives from the Louisville, Kentucky area will be visiting with the Michigan teachers in June. They have committed to leading the State of Kentucky in replication of the lessons and units. Educational Themes: A national advisory committee of foundation representatives, and scholars has been helping to identify the educational themes that will serve as the organizing principles for the lessons. These major themes were approved by the Steering Committee and will be developed for final approval in the fall. Web Site: The web site at www.msu.edu/- k12phil/ is well underway. The Steering Committee also reviewed the contents of the site and offered suggestions for its further development. The site includes information about the project, such as pictures and biographies of the teachers and schools, but also background information on philanthropy. �52 CMF Board members might find this a useful spot to research speech information regarding the history of philanthropy, or quotations related to giving and serving. Indiana Partners: After changes in leadership with the Indiana partners, continued joint planning is scheduled for late June to assure that the K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project works in concert with the Indiana efforts to develop curriculum materials that teach philanthropy within youth groups and in religious communities. A special meeting with 4-H is scheduled to discuss their new lessons that have been written for 4-H clubs nationwide. Also, the Search Institute is working as consultant, to research the various religious traditions and instruction as part of the Indiana project. Fund-Raising: Active fund-raising to complete the project continues. Current support will be expended by summer 1999. The staff has been promised that they will be officially notified by December 1998, ifthe project will need to close due to a lack of funds. In the meantime, the following fund-raising avenues are being pursued: Formal Proposals Submitted after Personal Discussions: Charles Stewart Mott Foundation The Ford Foundation Continuing Written and Personal Discussions: The Gordon Christian Foundation Anonymous New York Educational Donor The Lilly Endowment Initial Conversations Followed by Letters oflhquiry: Kauffman Foundation McGregor Fund Lucille and David Packard Foundation (advised to resubmit in December 1998) Printed Materials: The results of the October conference on teaching philanthropy are currently being transcribed from audio-tapes. The conclusions will be edited for publication in the fall. Initial history timelines (world, United States, Michigan) of philanthropy are completed and are being prepared for publication. They will be used at the national affinity group meeting of funders for Children and Youth in Indianapolis in the fall. They will also be available for display in classrooms as support to the history lessons. The first brochure and newsletter about the project are being prepared for fall distribution. -------- �53 Long Range Plans: In answering questions for potential funders, the project has evolved a nine-year plan for continued development and eventual sustainability. The general staging IS: Stage 1: Stage II: Stage III: Research, Writing, Field-testing, Polishing Integration Throughout Michigan National Dissemination Integration Nationally (in at least 10 states) International Dissemination. The Steering Committee approved this new staging model, and the development of a K -12 Philanthropy Teachers professional organization. Evaluation: The evaluation team from Michigan State University, Indiana University, and a private psychomatrician reported on their progress. The evaluation components have been determined and collection of information is currently underway. The components include a written pre-post survey of the teachers, quarterly reflective journals by the teachers and staff, periodic personal interviews with key stakeholders, analysis of the conversations being held on the internet, and classroom observation of the lessons as they are taught. Presentations: Presentations about the project continue across the state and nationally. Some of the most critical opportunities for the project are presentations at the National Council for Social Studies, the National Experiential Education Conference, the Michigan Education Association, and the Michigan Council for Social Studies Conference - all this fall. · Conclusion: The project continues to be on track, with very exciting products being developed. The Steering Committee meets again in September to review the progress on revising the lessons, the field-test sites, to hear the first year evaluation results, and to consider the financial situation atthat time. i:ewp:committee/brdtrst/meetings/june98/k-12june � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thurber Investment Committee Member Re: March 31, 1998 Investment Report Resolved: That the March 31, 1998, Investment Report be approved as presented. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council ofMichigan Foundations and its supporting organizations, for the period ended March 31, 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. The Investment Committee has approved an investment strategy for the endowment funds, which involves investing in index funds, which mirror the various benchmarks that are being used for comparison purposes on the attached report. Variances from the various benchmarks are explained below. ' Operating Funds The variance from the benchmark can be explained in the management fees of21 basis points, which are paid, on each fund (thus resulting in a gross return of 5.63%). Endowment Funds • The benchmark assumes that the portfolio is invested at 100% of the targeted asset allocation for the entire 12 months. As an example, the Mawby Fund actual asset allocation at March 31 , 1997 was: 66% Equities vs. 70% target 20% Fixed Income vs. 25% target vs. 5% target 14% Cash • The actual asset allocation can vary from the targeted allocation due to cash flowing into to the fund . The re-balancing ofthe portfolio takes place over a three-month period. The Mawby Fund received $300,000 in December 1997, which was invested over a three-month period ending March 1998. The William Allen equity portion ofthe portfolio was invested in actively managed funds for the majority of the past twelve months. The equity portion has since been moved into index funds to remain consistent with the other endowment funds. Management fees on the various funds range from 19 to 21 basis points. • • • \\nt -server\staft\dlindber\boardmet\cmf\ 19 9 8\m0612 9 8b. doc �20 It should also be noted when reviewing the attached report that the KYIP Funds are being invested over a twelve-month period ending in August, which will then allow for the calculation of a total twelve-month return for the portfolio.

CMF, together with the Council on Foundations, and regional associations of grantmakers from throughout the country, have been working to make the provision permanent (H.R. 519). Sponsored by Congressman David Camp (MI-Midland, House Ways & Means Committee Member), the legislation is cosponsored by 40 Representatives, including 13 from Michigan. A companion bill in the Senate (S. 194), is cosponsored by 12 Senators, including Michigan Senators Abraham and Levin. Unfortunately, the bill will expire since no tax_bill will be completed by the end of June. The good news is that the Chairmen of both tax-writing committees have voiced their commitment to having a small tax bill before the end of this year with a section that will extend 170(e)(5) again this year. The President's 1999 Budget proposal includes a one-year extension through June 30, 1999. CMF Members have actively supported legislation to make this provision permanent, as can be noted by the number of cosponsors. Work is underway to encourage foundation grantmakers in other parts of the country to make the case to their legislators. IRA Rollover H.R. 2821 and S. 1734 would amend the tax code to permit IRA owners over age 59-1/2 to withdraw funds and escape tax if the disbursement is made directly to either a qualified charity or a qualifying deferred giving plan (charitable remainder trust, pooled income fund, or charitable gift annuity). The bill is of particular interest to community foundations, colleges, and universities. Introduced by Rep. Barbara Kennelly (CT), and Rep. Phil Crane (IL), in the House and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX), in the Senate, the legislation has growing bi-partisan support. 60 members of the House have cosponsored the legislation to date, including 9 Michigan Congressmen. �38 Charitable Giving Relief Act H.R. 2499 would provide taxpayers who do not itemize (nonitemizers) a charitable deduction for 50 percent of cumulative annual contributions that exceed $500. Introduced by Reps. Crane (IL), Berger (CA), Coyne (PA), and Thurman (FL), the legislation is now cosponsored by 108 Congressmen, including 9 from Michigan. Leadership for this legislation comes from Independent Sector. Corporate Giving Bills H.R. 944 would require public companies each year to disclose to their shareholders, the charities to which they make contributions and the amount of each contribution. H.R. 945 would require public companies to let their shareholders decide, each year, what charities should receive contributions and the amount of contributions. Each shareholder (based on the percentage of shares owned) could vote on how such charitable contributions should be made based on the amount set aside for such purpose by the company. Management would retain the right to make additional contributions. The two bills introduced by Rep. Paul Gillmor (OH), in March of 1997 were referred to the Securities and Exchange Commission for study. The SEC report has not been released. The media is interested in the issue, but Congress has shown little interest to date with cosponsorships (H.R. 944- three; H.R. 945- none, none from Michigan.) Several CMF corporate members have expressed their displeasure with the proposed legislation. STATE LEGISLATION HR 5386 & HR 5389 These two bills, sponsored by Representative Kirk Profit, will permit local units of government (townships, villages, cities, and counties) and public libraries to transfer bequests received to a community foundation to create a fund for the same purpose as the donor intended. Both bills have been voted by Committee to go to the House for approval. A similar bill is being introduced to cover school systems as well. The three bills are correcting a grey area in state law and will strengthen partnerships between local units of government, public libraries, and school systems and community foundations. SB 695 Senate Bill 695, which strengthens the definition of a community foundation, was passed by the Senate and sent to the House Taxation Committee. It will not be approved by the Committee at this time due to concerns about the issue of restricting the ability of a new community foundation to be certified for the state tax credit in a county already served by an existing certified community foundation. �39 To begin to address the points in the bill, CMF is seeking an administrative remedy by requesting an updated Revenue Administrative Bulletin on community foundations. Senator Emmons has been most helpful in submitting a letter to State Treasurer Roberts requesting clarification on the definition of a community foundation. Treasurer Robert responded by recommending a meeting with June Summers Haas, Director of the Bureau of Revenue, Legal and Hearings Division. Staff recently held this meeting and a favorable response was given to this recommendation. It is hoped that the new Bulletin will be issued by September and will clarify that a community foundation must have a collection of permanent endowment funds, and not just one endowment fund. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

May Getaway at Yarrow Lodge The theme for the first Family Foundation "Getaway" at the Yarrow Lodge, in Augusta, was "The Blessings and Challenges of Family Money." Judy Barber, from California, noted advisor to families of wealth, and Ed·Parks from Plante Moran, in Birmingham, Michigan, were the presenters for this day-long Workshop. We were delighted to have 25 family foundation members present, including_Amold Langbo, CEO of the Kellogg Company, his wife, and two daughters. They are now considering CMF membership! The Workshop received very positive evaluations, so look for a "Getaway II" in 1999!! Sample Documents The Getaway offered the appropriate setting for the release of CMF's newest publication, Sample Documents for Family Foundations. Produced with great assistance from Linda Paterson, CMF's former Family Foundations Director, this notebook features 28 sample documents ranging from a sample mission statement, to three job descriptions. The notebook also contains these documents on a disk for easy adaptation. The publication is available for $25 to members, and for $40 to non-members. Regional Meetings Plans are underway to have our first regional meeting for potential family foundation members. Julie Cummings, CMF Trustee, has agreed to host this September meeting in her home in the Detroit area. �43 Annual Conference We are excited that Cole Wilbur, President of the Packard Foundation, has agreed to be our featured family foundation presenter at a session appropriately titled, "Growing Pains," as well as the featured speaker as part of the "Conversation With" series. Other concurrent sessions for family foundations will include "Small Grants Big Impact" and "Responsible Stewardship." Individual Meetings Staff continues to meet with CMF family foundation members, family donor advisors to community foundations, and potential donors, upon request. Many leads come from satisfied CMF members who refer their friends. Susan Howbert, Rob Collier, and Dottie Johnson provide technical assistance, and at times ask a CMF volunteer to join them to discuss their experiences with a family foundation. i :ewp:com mittee/brdtrstl98mtngs/fam-l 0 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since the last Board Meeting, two more community foundations have now completed the Youth Challenge: the Greenville Area Foundation and the Community Foundation ofthe Holland/Zeeland Area- making a total of23. Sixty-eight community foundations are continuing their efforts to complete the Youth Challenge when it ends December 31, 1998. We look forward to distributing a number of crystal boxes at the Annual Conference this fall, and even more in 1999! Project Team Up Grants The goal of the Project Team Up grants is to promote collaborative activities that will encourage regionalization, economies of scale in operations, and growth in endowment assets - all resulting in independent community foundations and affiliates better able to serve the citizens of Michigan. The MCFYP Board of Trustees at their May 28, 1998 meeting authorized funding ofup to $200,000 for five Project Team Up Grants, leaving $1.3 million available for grants in the September application cycle. Collaborative Service Grants The goal of the Collaborative Service Grant is to promote collaborative activities that encourage economies of scale in core operating budgets resulting in independent community foundations and affiliates better able to serve the citizens of Michigan. The MCFYP Board of Trustees also authorized funding of up to $20,000 for one Collaborative Service Grant that will allow for the purchase of joint auditing services in the Upper Peninsula for this round of applications, with $80,000 remaining for grants in the September application cycle. Enhanced Technical Assistance Services MCFYP has received an Enhanced Technical Assistance grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for $1.7 million to provide targeted assistance aimed at growing the assets of �..... ·· ·-----·- - - - - -- - - -- - - - - - - - - - - , 47 smaller community foundations and also contributing to economies in their operating budgets. The three goals are: 1. To provide extended on-site mentoring for community foundation Executive Directors and Board of Trustees. Dorothy Reynolds, recently retired President of the Community Foundation for Greater Flint, is providing this service on a part-time basis for CMF. She has already visited with more than 15 community foundations, including a week in the U.P. and is receiving rave reviews for her help. 2. To provide investment advisory services. MCFYP has contracted with Fund Evaluation Group of Cincinnati, Ohio, to provide investment advisory services to community foundations with up to $16 million in assets. The objectives of the service are: • To provide one-on-one technical assistance to 15 community foundations in the asset range of $5 to $16 million. • To provide phone consultation services to an additional 25 community foundations each with assets of less than $16 million. • To provide annual regional trainings. 3. To help community foundations with planned giving. CMF is currently identifying contractors to provide the following assistance: • First Deal Service-to provide up to $2,000 in assistance for 10 executive directors to complete their first planned gift • Phone Consultations • Trustee Phone Education Calls-facilitated conference calls for community foundation trustees with a focus on donor stories, that can provide incentive and information for talking to friends and business associates about planned giving. Community Foundation Academy for New Trustees and Staff The Community Foundation Academy for New Trustees and Staff is a ten-session, five day academy covering community foundation basics in detail. Designed for new trustees, executive directors, and other professional staff, the academy is taught by experienced Michigan community foundation professionals. Extensive resource materials are provided to assist in building local community foundation libraries and files. The academy encourages mastery of current community foundation best practices and operational elements. Ample time is provided for questions and answers and detailed exchange between participants and faculty. This year's academy will originate in Lansing and will be teleconferenced via interactive audio and video links with Marquette and Gaylord. Topics include: 1) History, Definition, and Mission - Characteristics and Roles of a Community Foundation �·····---- ·- - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - . 48 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) Boardsmanship and Board/Staff Relationships Effective Communication- the Community Foundation Message Information Management and Fiscal Administration Serving Community Foundation Donors a) Organizing the Development Function and Working with Donors b) Marketing the Foundation and Planned Giving Grantmaking - How to Design a High Impact Grantmaking Program Scholarships - Establishing and Administering a Scholarship Program Legal Structure of Community Foundations - Allocation of Responsibility Leadership and Convening- Emerging Community Foundation Roles At the conclusion of this year's academy, one-hour videotapes of each of the teleconferenced sessions, along with a three-ring binder including all handouts and resource materials from that session, will be made available for national and international distribution. In addition, a companion publication "Growing Community Foundations- Lessons Learned from the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project, 1991-1998," will be available for distribution in July, 1998. Calhoun CARES Update MCFYP is a partner in Calhoun CARES, an effort to promote collaborative activities around volunteerism and community service in Calhoun County. The Calhoun CARES initiative has focused on: • Encouraging a working relationship between the three community foundations and and two geographic component funds in the county, • Having the members of the five Youth Advisory Committees initiate and implement countywide youth projects, joint trainings and leadership opportunities, • Promoting county-wide awareness of youth as valuable community resources and problem-solvers, and • Assessing the needs and resources of youth, and nonprofit, service and volunteer organizations that serve youth. Highlights of collaborative efforts include: • • • Five inserts to Scene Magazine, a countywide magazine were professionally designed and executed to highlight all three community foundations and two geographic component funds. Each issue focuses on a different topic such as the youth advisory committee, and scholarships. A Countywide Scholarship Fund was established as a joint venture ofthe three community foundations and two affiliates. A Countywide Youth Advisory Committee was organized with volunteer representatives from each of the 5 YACs, resulting in successful youth initiated activities, such as a �49 matching grant from the C.S. Matt Foundation for a Violence Prevention Workshop. As a spin-off from the workshop, local YACs have written and performed skits on nonviolence for 4th grade students in their school districts. After the performance, the YAC members provide the 4th graders with mini-grant applications, help them decide on appropriate projects for them to apply for grant dollars, offer T A for writing the grant, and ultimately assist with the 4th grade project after it has been funded. YAC members have become pen pals with their 4th grade grant recipients, and continue as role models throughout the school year. The Calhoun CARES project has been extremely successful in meeting the goals of the initiative. Between June and November 1998, the Countywide YAC will create and sponsor five community service projects (one for each community) with participation by YACers from all community foundations at each service project. The design, development, and execution of the projects will be youth-led and will be documented in a video for future distribution for other YAC's interested in replicating the process. The participating community foundations and affiliates have formed the Calhoun Community Foundation Alliance and committed to the 5 goals of America's Promise. Computer Project Update --. The Computer Committee is focusing on the reporting needs of the smaller foundations. Currently there are 25 independent foundations that are not on FIMS, and an estimated 10-11 that are on FIMS and struggling with the complexity of the software. The Committee has taken the following steps over the past several months. • • • Added non-FIMS foundations staff to the committee to complement the current members, which includes the original venture foundations that developed the software for this project. Hired Plante and Moran (a public accounting firm who has experience with community foundations) to analyze the reporting needs ofthe smaller foundations and make a recommendation on what they feel should be the next steps to address those needs. Instructed FERA to complete their evaluation of the impact that FIMS has had on the community foundations in Michigan. Following the completion of these steps, a plan will be presented to the MCFYP Board on possible software modifications to address the needs of the smaller staffed foundations. 1998 Mawby Fund for Kids Summer Internship With assistance from the Mawby Fund for Kids, CMF is proud to welcome two full-time interns for the summer. Stacey Hall, alumnae of The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area, is assisting with the planning and organization of the 1998 Adventure Tours Leadership activities. Stacey has a broad background in community service work, �50 including work for a medical mission in Honduras. Janet Bromley, of Spring Lake, is working on her honor's thesis at Western Michigan University, and wishes to rebuild the Western Michigan Youth Leadership Institute, a discontinued program she was involved with as a youth. Janet will be assisting with the Summer Edition ofthe Yackety YAC and other research activities within CMF. 1998 State Youth Leadership Event Adventure Tours '98 is from June 25-28 in Lansing. Two hundred YACers will start with one of five bus tours that feature adventures dealing with environment, transportation, design, theater, and technology. Each tour is intended to provide an opportunity for YACers to see and participate in activities throughout Michigan that they have not seen or experienced before. All participants will gather for the firial two days at Michigan State University for a state rally sharing experiences and participating in sessions focusing on leadership, philanthropy, and youth public policy issues. 1998 MCFYP/Pistons Awards We are pleased to again have the State Awards Program sponsored with the Pistons-Palace Foundation. The MCFYP State Youth Advisory-Board Members will be having a conference call next week to select the YACs to be recognized for proactive grantmaking and community service and the outstanding YAC Advisors. MCFYP State Youth Advisory Board The State Youth Advisory Board will be taking a leadership role in presenting testimony before Senator Schuette and Representative Schower at the Adventure Tours Conference, in Lansing, on a bill that would allow youth ages 16 to 18 to serve on the boards of nonprofit organizations with vote. MCFYP Dissemination Activities Since the last CMF Board meeting, YACers have been involved in trips to: the Midwest Black Philanthropy Conference in Minneapolis; Western Pennsylvania Grantmakers in Pittsburgh; the Annual Family Foundations Conference of the Council on Foundations, in Los Angeles; and the Canadian Community Foundations Conference, in Calgary. More than 500 grantmakers have been reached through these activities. To offer just two examples, YACs are now being started throughout British Columbia thanks to the Vancouver Foundation, and in Saskatoon, with support from the Muttart Foundation. Staff is now working on a second edition of Resources and Guidelines for Starting a YAC. i:ewp:committee/brdtrst/meetings/june98/june98cf � 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 Core Operations March 31, 1998 Internal Statement of Activities. Tab3 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees approve the March 31, 1998 CMF Core Operations Internal Statement of Activities. In keeping with our policy of reporting the year-end actual results compared to budget for the CMF Core Operations, we have enclosed the CMF Core Operations Internal Statement of Activities for the year ended March 31, 1998. The enclosed statements were reviewed and approved by the Audit & Finance Committee during year-end meeting held on May 27, 1998. The Michigan AIDS Fund and MCFYP Board of Trustees have already approved their year-end actual results compared to budget and therefore have been included in this section for informational purposes only. For comparison purposes this memo will deal with the actual year-end results compared to the 12-Month Projected column. As you may recall. the CMF Board of Trustees approved the 12-Month Projected column as part of the financial report that was presented at the February 24, 1998 Board meeting. CMF Core Operations Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets Note 1: Member Contributions With 59 new members joining in 1997-98, CMF continues to experience an increase in membership dues and a favorable variance from budget. Note 2: Conference Revenue & Expenses The special events associated with the 25th Anniversary Annual Conference accounted for the variance from budget in both revenue (which came in the form of contributions from the Host Committee members) and expenses.

We have been afforded full access to all records and received full cooperation from CMF's management. The scope of our audit was conducted as planned and discussed with management in February 1998. Our audit was designed to provide reasonable assurance that errors and irregularities that are material to the combined financial statements would be detected. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the internal control structure for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the combined financial statements. We noted no significant matters relating to the internal control structure and its operation. ----- In today's complex business environment, audit- committees play a vital role in overseeing the financial reporting process. Although reliable financial reporting is primarily management's responsibility, the importance of the Audit Committee and its role has increased steadily over the years. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Division for CPA Firms membership requirements state that the external auditor should communicate certain matters to the Audit Committee at least annually. Such matters have been summarized and included in this report.

Rappleye, Chair - Audit & Finance Committee RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations March 31, 1998 Audit Report Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees approve the Coopers & Lybrand March 31, 1998 audit report. On May 27, 1998 the CMF Audit & Finance Committee met to review the results of the Coopers & Lybrand audit for the year-ended March 31, 1998. During this meeting both management and Coopers & Lybrand stated that the audit process exceeded their expectation during the first year transition from Ernst & Young, who performed the audit in prior years. Coopers & Lybrand stated that upon completion of the audit, which included testing of the internal control procedures, there were no Management Letter Comments to report to management or the Audit Committee. The results ofthe year-end audit were approved by the MCFYP Board of Trustees at their meeting held on May 28, 1998 and will be reported to the Michigan AIDS_fund Audit Committee on June 8, 1998. After a detailed review of the enclosed report the Audi"f& ·Finance Committee is recommending approval of the CMF Combined March 31, 1998 audit report. Below are some highlights of the significant balances and variances from the prior.year results included in the attached audit report. Combined Statements of Financial Position Cash & Investments During 1997-98 the remaining balance from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation WKKF III grant of $6,377,804 and along with the additional funds of $5,000,000 to complete the final round of challenge grants for MCFYP were received and accounted for the increase in both cash and investments from the prior year. The reason for the significant balance in &ash and cash equivalents (which is made up of primarily of money market accounts) is due to the policy adopted by the ln-¢'e stment Committee which allows only the permanent or endoVt1nent funds to be invested in eqUities. Grants Receivable The decrease from the prior year is due to tli~ receipt of the remaining balance outstanding from the WKKF III grant for MCFYP. I IDLI NDBE RIBOA RD MET\CMF\ 1998\ M06 1298 .doc �B Accrued Grants Payable The final round of challenge grant rules for MCFYP were modified to allow community foundations until March 1, 1998 to raise 50% of their challenge request. For those that reached the 50% mark they have until December 31, 1998 to raise the remaining 50%. This has eliminated the all or nothing criteria from previous rounds and thus has increased the liability from the prior year. The balance at March 31, 1998 represents grants outstanding to 64 community foundations. Net Assets- Board Designated Fund The increase from the prior year is due to the investment income earned from the WKKF III grant for MCFYP that is being placed in the Board Designated Fund. Net Assets- Permanently Restricted The permanently restricted net asset balance represents only the contributions received for the Allen and Mawby endowment funds. The investment income earned on those funds has been classified as temporarily restricted net assets. It should be noted that the total balance of the Allen and Mawby Funds totaled $2,183,841 as of March 31, 1998, which you will find highlighted in the Notes to Combined Financial Statements. Combined Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets Support and Revenues Grants and Other Contributions The increase from the prior year is due to the additional grant dollars received from Kellogg to complete the final round of challenge grants. Conferences Conference expenses increased due to the cost associated with CMF's 25 111 Anniversary Annual Conference, which was held in November. Thanks to the generous support of our members the Annual Conference broke even. Investment Income Along with the additional grant dollars received from the Kellogg Foundation and the permanent funds nearing a portfolio mix of 70% equities, we continue to experience a strong increase in investment income from the prior year. I \ DI.I ND ili: R\ Il( >A RDMITICM F\ 19'1X\ M061 2'1X. doc -~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- �c Expenses Grants Grants totaling $11,803,207 were made to approximately 80 community foundations and 60 nonprofits (Michigan AIDS Fund grantees) during fiscal year 1997-98. The increase in grants from the prior year is due to the additional funds made available from the Kellogg Foundation to complete the final round of challenge grants and a $500,000 grant received from the State of Michigan that was used for AIDS prevention initiatives. Conference In comparing total conference income to conference expenses, it should be noted that several meetings and conferences (mainly those for special projects and MCFYP) are funded by the Grants and Other Contributions line item and therefore receive very little in the way of revenue from conference registration fees. Professional Fees The additional of a $500,000 grant from the State of Michigan (and the associated administrative time) along with two new special projects under taken by the Michigan AIDS Fund resulted in the increase from the prior year. Programming/Administrative The CMF K-12 project being fully implemented during 1997-98 accounted for the increase from the prior year. 1: \ DLINDBER\BOARDM ETIC MF\ 1998\ M061298 .doc �COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS AND SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31,1998 and 1997 �tents Pages of Independent Accountants . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 ""-"'-=.J"-_.ed Financial Statements: C mbined Statements of Financial Position . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Co bined Statements of Activities and Changes in Net Assets .......... . .................. 3-4 ()oDlbined StatementsofCashFlovvs ........ . ............... .. .. ... ..... . .................... 5 _o to Combined Financial Statements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6-11 ementary Information: Report of Independent Accountants ........... . ......... . ................................... 12 Details of Combined Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 �Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. Coopers &Lybrand a professional services firm Report of Independent Accountants 3oard of Trustees Council of Michigan Foundations -e have audited the accompanying combined statement of financial position of the Council of _fi higan Foundations and Supporting Organizations as of March 31, 1998, and the related combined statements of activities and changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Council of · chigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations as of and for the year ended March 31, 1997, ·ere audited by other auditors whose report dated April 25, 1997, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. e conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opnnon. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Council of Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations as of March 31, 1998, and the combined changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

- - ---- ~~~~-~ �Council of Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations Notes to Combined Financial Statements 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: a. Organization: The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), an association of foundations and corporations making grants for charitable purposes, was incorporated in 1975 to enhance, improve and increase philanthropy in Michigan. The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) are supporting organizations of CMF under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code section 509(a)(3). The accompanying financial statements ofCMF have been prepared on a combined basis to include its affiliated supporting organizations, because CMF's Board of Trustees exercises significant control over these organizations through the appointment of board members for each of these organizations. b. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities maturing within ninety days. These are carried at fair market value, which approximates cost. c. Investments: All investments are carried at estimated fair market value, using quoted market prices. Net realized gains and losses and unrealized increases or decreases resulting from changes in the market value of investments are included in the combined statements of activities and changes in net assets. The realized gain or loss on the sale of investments is the difference between the proceeds received and the cost of specific investments sold. d. Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment, are stated at estimated market value at the date donated or at cost if purchased. Such donations are reported as unrestricted support unless the donor has restricted the donated asset to a specific purpose. Assets donated with explicit restrictions regarding their use or contributions of cash that must be used to acquire property and equipment are reported as restricted support. Absent donor stipulations regarding how long those donated assets must be maintained, CMF reports expirations of donor restrictions when the donated or acquired assets are placed in service as instructed by the donor. CMF reclassifies temporarily restricted net assets to unrestricted net assets at that time. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is recorded in the statement of activities. e. Net Asset Classifications: The three net asset groups used for reporting purposes in the accompanying combined financial statements are as follows: Unrestricted Net Assets--Reflect assets that have not been restricted as to use by donors. Certain of these assets have been designated by the governing boards of CMF and its supporting organizations to be used for a specific purpose. These board-designated funds reflect investment income earned on Challenge grant assets that will be used to fund community foundation programming beyond the Year 2000. 6 �Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: e. Net Asset Classifications, continued: Temporarily Restricted Net Assets--Reflect contributed assets whose use by CMF and its supporting organizations has been limited by donors for a specific time period or purpose. Permanently Restricted Net Assets--Reflect contributions with donor-imposed restrictions that do not expire and that allow, in certain cases, only the income earned thereon to be expended. Income earned that is restricted for a period of time or purpose is recorded as a temporarily restricted asset. f. Grants Payable: Grants are recognized as an expense when approved by the governing boards of CMF and its supporting organizations, if unconditional, or when the related conditions are met by the recipient, if conditional. Grants payable recorded in the accompanying combined statements of financial position are generally expected to be paid within one year. g. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. h. Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the fiscal 1997 combined financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1998 presentation. 2. Supporting Organizations: Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project The Michigan Community Foundations' youth activity commenced in 1988 and was funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. This activity is aimed at encouraging youth development in local communities while strengthening community foundation leadership and grant-making capacity. CMF has acted as administrator of the original project, with all grant monies received from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation being distributed to community foundation members under conditions defined by grant agreements. 7 �Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued 2. Supporting Organizations, continued: Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project, continued The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) was incorporated in November 1993, with a separate board of trustees to oversee the grant-making activities of the project. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation contributed sixty-nine percent of the total support and revenues for 1998 and 1997. This donor also comprises ninety-five percent and eighty-nine percent of the grants receivable balance at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. MCFYP received an additional $2,600,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to provide funds for the computerization of Michigan's community foundations, support for foundations that assume responsibility for assisting small affiliate community foundations in their development, and extended support for the youth project, including camp subsidies and national leadership conference funding. In August of 1996 the W.K. Kellogg Foundation provided a $10,000,000 grant to MCFYP for the Kellogg Youth Initiative Partnership program. The purpose of this program will be to fund future youth programs located in a portion of Detroit known as the Northern High School Area, Calhoun County, and Marquette and Alger counties. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has transferred $5,670,110 of their $10,000,000 commitment for this project through fiscal year 1998. Michigan AIDS Fund CMF formed the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) for the purpose of managing and administering revenues and expenses of a collaborative funding grant program previously administered by CMF, which acts as a vehicle for CMF members and others to cooperatively fund AIDS-related projects in Michigan. MAF was incorporated in November 1993, with a separate board of trustees appointed by CMF, to oversee the growing activities and grant-making responsibilities of this program. 3. Endowment Funds: CMF has three endowment funds. The principal amounts of these funds have been permanently restricted by their donors, whereas the investment income earned on the assets of these funds is temporarily restricted for the stated purpose of each fund. 8 �Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued 3. Endowment Funds, continued: Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy The Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy was established during fiscal 1995 to honor Dr. Mawby's contributions to Michigan philanthropy. Dr. Mawby, former Chairman and CEO of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, was one of the founders of the Council of Michigan Foundations and served as its first chairman in 1972. The purpose of this Fund is to improve and increase philanthropy by continuing and expanding CMF's efforts to enhance philanthropy and increase charitable resources. Permanently restricted net assets of this Fund were $1,012,843 at March 31, 1998 and 1997. Total net assets of this Fund were $1,353,384 and $1,112,149 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Ruth & Russ Mawby Fund for Kids In December of 1995 the W.K. Kellogg Foundation contributed $500,000 to set up the Ruth and Russ Mawby Fund For Kids, with the expressed purpose of improving and increasing philanthropy through youth involvement in the State of Michigan. Permanently restricted net assets of this fund were $500,000 at March 31, 1998 and 1997. Total net assets of the fund were $719,576 and $559,334 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. William W Allen Endowment Fund The purpose of this Fund is to further the understanding of private philanthropy in federal and state legislative and regulatory matters. The endowment was established with restricted contributions from the member foundations of CMF given in honor of a former CMF board member who was also the first Government Relations chairman. Permanently restricted net assets ofthis Fund were $70,537 at March 31, 1998 and 1997. Total net assets ofthis Fund were $110,881 and $86,301 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 4.

Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Status of Kellogg Youth Challenge April 1 is the date for progress reports on the final challenge grant round. It is anticipated that at least 2 community foundations will complete their challenge match, and the �83 remaining 66 will be submitting reports proving successful completion of at least 50% of their matching requirement. The final date for 100% completion of the match is December 31, 1998. A potential $16.8 million of Kellogg challenge funds could be distributed to Michigan community foundations in this final challenge round. Enhanced Technical Assistance With the Kellogg Youth Challenge ending in 1998, the majority of community foundations and their affiliate funds are dealing with two specific challenges: how to keep the growth momentum going, and how to deal with the need to raise ongoing operating funds. A new grant from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation is allowing CMF/MCFYP to provide targeted enhanced technical assistance in the form of "On-Site Mentoring", "Investment Advisory Services", and "Asset Development through Planned Giving" to those community foundations with less than $1 0 million in assets. Dorothy M. Reynolds, who has retired as President of the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, brings a wealth of experience and respect from her peers, to the newlycreated consultant position of Range Rider. In January, she started on-site mentoring to targeted foundations in the areas of asset development, pro-active grantmaking, and operational elements of community foundation management. Specialized firms for Investment Advisory Services and Planned Giving technical assistance will be selected by April1. Team-Up and Collaborative Service Grants - Two special initiatives, supported by the current W. K. Kellogg Challenge Grant, will assist small community foundations in their efforts to overcome barriers to asset growth, and to jointly purchase services that will contribute to economies for their operating budgets. Project TEAM-UP and the Collaborative Service Grants, promote both partnerships with neighboring community foundations and the joint purchasing of services. The MCFYP Board of Trustees will review the first grant applications that are due April1. Computer Project With 33 community foundations installed on the Foundation Information Management Service (FIMS) software, the Computer Committee's energies are now focused on how to best serve the remaining 23 community foundations that are two small or lack the staffing to implement FIMS. A new generation of computer grants designed to assist community foundations under $5 million in assets, or geographic component funds that already own a computer, will be unveiled in late February 1998. The grants will assist community foundations with the purchase of hardware, software and training, and will provide for tracking grants, gifts, donors, and financials on an Excel template designed by former CMF consultant Nanette Kaiser. Advisor Trainings In February, there are two conference calls being held for new advisors. Four regional Advisor Trainings are also being held in late April. �-----------~---~- - - - --- ~ - - ~ - - - 84 Y AC Teleconference On Saturday, March 14, YAC members will be gathering at Michigan State University, Northwestern Michigan College, in Traverse City, and Bay De Noc Community College, in Escanaba, for a Teleconference on the issue of violence prevention. Staff from the National Council on Crime Prevention will serve as faculty, and representatives ofthe 18 YACs participating in the C. S. Mott Foundation-funded violence prevention grants, will be reporting on their efforts. Dissemination Activities to share the lessons learned from MCFYP continue. This month five YAC members will be involved in three trips: the Regional Black Philanthropy Conference in Minneapolis, to Pittsburgh, to assist the Mellon, Grable and Jewish Healthcare Foundations, and to the Council on Foundations Annual Conference, in Los Angeles. i:rcollier/cmfboard/98/presr �. i Council of Michigan Foundations Treasurer's Report to Board February 1998 I apologize for not being able to be here in person, but would like to share some comments with you. Dave Lindberg will then respond to questions and provide additional information that you may desire. This morning we want to • review the Council of Michigan Foundations' Financial Statements for the eight months ended November 30, 1997 • review the revised budget projection for 1997-98 • present to you the recommended 1998-99 CMF budget I want to assure you that the Audit and Finance Committee, as well as the Executive Committee, have reviewed these statements and budgets, and is recommending them for your acceptance and approval. Financial Statements- November 30. 1997: We need to start with the CMF and Supporting Organizations Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 30, under Tab 2. The first colurim shows the CMF Core and Special Projects balances, with other organizations following, and the total column at the far right. dlindberg/boardmet/cmf/1998/M022498c/ �Page 2 The largest balances are, of course, in the MCFYP supporting organization. In the third column, MCFYP, you will note that the cash and equivalents is unusually high due to over $10 million provided by the Kellogg Foundation during September. The original grant letters scheduled these funds for 1998 and 1999, and we are hopeful the early receipt will allow us to earn increased investment income over the next two years. Notes are also included to provide additional explanation, as shown. The following page is the Consolidated Statement of Activities for the period from April 1 to November 30. Again, the detail for CMF Core Operations, Special Projects and Endowment Funds is shown, followed by activity for the supporting organizations. This is presented for information only as the MCFYP and Michigan AIDS Fund statements and activities have been reviewed by their respective executive committee/boards. Revised Budget Projection for 1997-98: The CMF Core Operations Internal Statement of Activities, shown on the following page (page 17), shows the eight months (first column of the previous statement) as compared to the twelve-month budget approved by the CMF Board and our new projected budget. As you can see from the figures and supporting notes, the big adjustment is to incorporate the large success of our annual conference. In fact , as you will note at the bottom of the page, our change in fund balance has increased from $7,000 to over $40,000. It is this last highlighted column that we are asking you to approve as the revised budget for 1997-98. -~~-- �Page 3 At this time, Dave can follow up on any questions you may have, and we would ask for acceptance of the November 30 statements and approval for the new projected budget. Recommended Budget for 1998-99: The CMF recommended budget for 1998-99 is shown under Tab 11. The detail is illustrated in the first three columns, with the total in the fourth column highlighted. As is the normal procedure, the MCFYP and AIDS Fund budgets have been reviewed and approved by their respective boards, and are being included for your information and approval as well. The CMF Core Operations Budget (the first column) is then shown on the following page with the 1997-98 projected budget. As you can see, the recommended budget is very similar to this year's actual figures, except as indicated by the three notes. The highlighted column on page 76 shows the notes and supporting explanations, and additional notes on the Endowment Funds and Special Projects are included on page 73. The Audit and Finance Committee continues to review all material at the detail level. The Executive Committee is also reviewing information at a detail level for the foreseeable future, knowing it has been reviewed by the Audit and Finance Committee as well. The Board material, as you can see, has been reduced to focus on the overall financial position and �Page 4 budget, with the goal to highlight only significant changes. It is hoped that this will provide the Board with the larger, overall picture, while having the comfort that the details were reviewed by the Audit and Finance and Executive committees. Our approach, however, is still one of full disclosure, and the Board members can certainly receive the detail statements and additional information, if they desire. If there are any questions at this point, Dave and other management can respond. We would then ask for approval of the CMF Core Operations, Endowment Funds and Special Projects 1998-99 Budget shown on page 75. As always, if you have questions and would like additional information, let us know. I look forward to seeing you at the next CMF Board meeting.

It has increasingly become a disease of color, and of women. It is no longer a death sentence; it has become a manageable chronic illness for those fortunate enough to afford the treatment. These "new realities" of AIDS raise dozens of new questions: How should the government help the infected pay for treatments? Should money for client services be shifted to pay for medicine and prevention programs? Will people again healthy enough to work get training to re-enter the work force? And how can we persuade government and the public to accept innovative programs such as needle exchanges as effective prevention methods? The trustees and staff of the Michigan AIDS Fund hope to strike a balance in this swiftly changing epidemic by devoting resources and attention both to these new challenges and to the ongoing care and treatment of those infected and affected by AIDS. Statement of Mission The resources, staff and trustees of the Michigan AIDS Fund are dedicated "to support efforts to preyent the spread of AIDS and to alleviate suffering for those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS." �This report covers the Fund's grantmaking year, July 1996 through June 1997, and fiscal year, April 1996 through March 1997. For information on HIVI AIDS, call the Michigan AIDS hotline at 1.800.872.AIDS. Chairman's Message Michigan's AIDS Epidemic The Fund's Response How to Contribute 1997-98 Grant Awards Contacting Information Financial Reports Board of Trustees Donors I - 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ' 1 �Chairman's Message av1gating through the new realities A year ago, I described initial reports of new "combination therapies" that appeared to be healing, if not nearly curing, those with AIDS. These drugs have been hailed as miracle workers because of the apparent resurrections they induce. With such promising developments, the federal government has been all too eager to declare victory over AIDS - out of sight, out of mind. But AIDS is still with us. And it is still killing us. The disease is cunning. As soon as one population seems to get a handle on how to prevent it, or even on how to slow its deadly effects, AIDS finds oth ~r vulnerable groups to ravage - populations that often lack the resources to fortify themselves against their attacker. These include African-Americans, who in Michigan are being diagnosed with AIDS at a rate eight times faster than whites; or women, who 14 years ago represented one-eighth of Michigan AIDS cases but who today make up fully twenty percent. Meanwhile, as the number of new infections keeps climbing, albeit more slowly, the "miracle drugs" are increasing the number of people living with AIDS. But for many, the drugs are unaffordable, with just one year's treatment costing about $15,000 - far more than the typical prescription caps of HMOs and Medicaid. These are just some of the "new realities" of AIDS. Still, there are reasons for hope. While the federal government has been sweeping AIDS under the carpet, the state of Michigan :has shown a more compassionate approach to the disease. During our latest granting cycle, the state asked the Michigan AIDS Fund to oversee distribution of $500,000 in public money to fund prevention programs. According to one national survey, that team approach to funding is just one of the things the Michigan AIDS Fund is doing right. I Nearly three-fourths of the programs supported by the Fuhd in its 1997-1998 granting year are community-based prevention programs targeting specific populations such as migrant laborers, drug users or sex workers. This is the proper strategy, according to the survey of AIDS prevention funders by the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies in San Francisco, which says "generic AIDS messages aimed at a general audience are not effective AIDS prevention programs." The study also reports that few private funders supported needle exchange programs even though they are proven to be effective in slowing the spread of HIV. The Michigan AIDS Fund for 1997-1998 allocated $71,460 to Community Health Awareness Group's Life Points program, the first legally sanctioned needle exchange program in the state of Michigan. The Fund's $60,000 opportunity grant in 1996 helped Life Points buy the van that serves as its mobile prevention unit. We at the Fund don't want to be congratulated for being a thoughtful grantmaker; we believe it's our duty to be effective. But we do want to be rewarded with continued support and, most of alL results. While the advances in the last year do offer hope, AIDS-related philanthropy cannot end as long as even one person is infected with the AIDS virus. Someone needs to stand up for those infected and affected by AIDS. Someone needs to help the growing numbers of women and people of color who have AIDS find and pay for care and treatment. Someone needs to help communities educate their residents about prevention . That's why the Fund, with its grantees, will stand firm in this grueling battle until the disease is truly eradicated. Glenn Kossick Chairman of the Board Michigan AIDS Fund 2 �Surveillance reports estimate that between 8,500 and 12,000 Michigan residents are infected with HIV, with perhaps thousands not even knowing they are infected. Michigan recorded its first AIDS case in 1981. In the epidemic's first five years, 317 people had AIDS. In the next seven years, ten times that number - 3,328 - were diagnosed with the disease. Just four years later, that number has again more than doubled to 8,590 - a figure cases diagnosed in 1996 were women, up from about onesixth of cases in 1995. In 1983, 12 percent of Michigan's AIDS cases were women. So far in 1997, 23 percent are women. Three-fourths of Michigan women with AIDS are African-American. make up only 14 percent of Michigan's population, account for 64 percent of the state's HIV infections. African-American women account for 75 percent of infections among all women, with just 3.1 percent of female infections being white women. Michigan residents diagnosed with AIDS in 1996 were AfricanAmericans. They are being diagnosed at a rate seven times faster than that of whites. Hispanics are being diagnosed at a rate twice that of whites. AIDS is the leading cause of death for Michigan residents between the ages of 25 and 44, surpassing even accidents, suicide, heart disease and cancer. 3 �History of the Michigan AIDS Fund The sudden spike in AIDS infections after 1987 took Michigan by surprise. But communities around the state quickly responded, with grassroots organizations such as care centers, buddy systems, support groups, child care, legal services, in-home care and more springing up in nearly every neighborhood. The hurried response fragmented Michigan's AIDS family, though, with each organization competing for support and learning lessons on its own. In an effort to coordinate an effective private response to AIDS in Michigan, eight members of the Council of Michigan Foundations in 1990 proposed the creation of a statewide, pooled fund to support AIDS-related organizations. Three Michigan foundations - Metro Health Foundation, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and W.K. Kellogg Foundation - provided major leadership grants to start the Fund while The Kresge Foundation loaned Senior Program Officer Barbara J. Getz as its first Chair. In 1993, the Fund became a separate Michigan corporation qualifying as a supporting organization of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Through the Michigan AIDS Fund, foundations, nonprofit agencies and individuals support grassroots communitybased organizations to combat Michigan's expanding AIDS epidemic. The Fund educates donors, assures them of professional grant management, and acts as a "spokesperson" for Michigan's AIDS-related organizations. This united response avoids project overlap and geographic neglect. Since its inception, the Fund has awarded more than $4.2 million in grants. 4 1997 Michigan Conference on AIDS I • • The New Realities " More than 200 people gathered in Grand Rapids for three days last spring to learn about and join forces against the AIDS epidemic and its changing face. Keynote speakers included Dr. Richard Marlink, renowned Harvard AIDS researcher; Dr. Peter Lurie, an expert on needle-exchange programs; retired congressman Steve Gunderson; and Phill Wilson, an HIV-positive scholar and one of President Clinton's appointees to the AIDS Advisory Committee. Speakers and workshop leaders stressed time and again that the current stage of the epidemic is a strange one. People infected and affected by AIDS are simultaneously rejoicing at new, powerful drug treatments, yet wondering how to fight the disease as it strikes back in different communities. The Michigan AIDS Fund plans to host the 1998 Michigan Conference on AIDS Thursday, May 28 and Friday, May 29 at the Ypsilanti Marriott at Eagle Crest.

AIDS Partnership Michigan For lonely senior citizens at Detroit's Restoration Towers, Linda's Meals is an on-site outlet for compassion. For homebound AIDS patients, it's a lifeline. Gerontologist Linda Petersen thought it a natural fit . Every weekday, more than 40 people with AIDS in Detroit receive hot meals lovingly prepared by residents of the Towers, a home for low-income senior citizens. "The program is set up so that we're going into our clients' homes each day," said program coordinator Steve Austin. "For some, I'm one of the few people they see. The impact is immediate." Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS) Sexually transmitted diseases are ordinarily a taboo subject for Arab women - unless they're gathered, without men, to celebrate an engagement or wedding. ACCESS plans to send female AIDS prevention counselors to these gatherings, called haflas, to make sure the subject comes up. "Women are taught to keep sexuality very dear, very secretive," said Reem Khraizat, HIV/AIDS project coordinator at ACCESS. "But here, they won't be scared to talk about issues they're concerned about. We talk about how to negotiate with a (sexual) partner, to ask him to use a condom until he's tested for HIV - those are skills we have to help women get, and to practice with them ." �1997-98 Grant Awards AIDS Services Thumb Area, Port Huron $30,000 To continue a variety of targeted prevention outreach programs Michigan Jewish AIDS Coalition, Southfield To expand its peer education program for Jewish teens Alternatives for Girls, Detroit For a half-time HIV outreach coordinator targeting women Michigan Metro Girl Scout Council, Detroit To expand its STD/pregnancy prevention curriculum for hard-to-reach girls $1 5,000 Michigan Protection and Advocacy Service, Livonia To give free legal services to people with HIV/AIDS $30,000 Midwest AIDS Prevention Project, Ferndale To target youth, women, African-Americans and gay men with behavior-based peer education $7 3,900 $34,500 American Red Cross, Southeastern Michigan Chapter, Detroit $20,000 To continue peer education in urban neighborhoods Arab Community Center $20,000 for Economic and Social Services, Dearborn To teach AIDS prevention to Arab women through in-home interventions In 1996-97, the Michigan AIDS Fund awarded grants totaling more than $731,000 to 33 programs. Thanks to a new public/private partnership with the State of Michigan, the Fund's total grant amount for the 1997-98 fiscal year surpassed that by about half a million dollars. In 1997-98, the Fund provided $200,000 to accompany the $500,000 designated by the state for HIV/AIDS prevention programs around Michigan.

The Michigan AIDS Fund's 1997 grant will help ASTA continue these and other progra ms. Need le-exchange prog ra ms are like seat belts, Harry Simpson says: Each is a harmreduction strategy aimed at saving lives. The ASTA Puppeteers provide an AIDS awareness/harm reduction program called "An AIDS Lesson" for fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders in their community. Since December 1996, Simpso n has operated Life Poi nts, Michigan's first licensed syringeexchange program . Out of an oversized van, volunteers give injection drug users clean needles along with other AIDS prevention materials such as condoms, brochures an d referrals to drug treatment programs. The programs are economical. Medical treatment for just one AIDS patient runs about $135,000 a year - more than enough to run the preventative Life Points program for a who le year. The primary foc us of the Michigan AIDS Fund is to support programs aimed at preventing AIDS, at caring for and treating those infected and affected by AIDS, and at building capacity of AIDS-related agencies. Preference is usually given to agencies and programs of proven integrity that also demonstrate community collaboration, service to high-risk populations, careful budgeting, innovation, measurable results and community responsiveness. Michigan AIDS Fund trustees establish annual funding priorities that change and evolve along with or ahead of the changing epidemic. The Fund's granting cycle begins in September with requests for Letters of Intent from organizations seeking grants. The trustees then decide which Letters of Intent qualify for full grant applications. Applications are due early in the year, and the grants begin on July 1 of the cycle year. To request a Common Grant/Letter of Intent Application, write to: Michigan AIDS Fund Grant Manager 678 Front Street NW Grand Rapids, MI 49504 A two-page narrative summary of the proposed project must accompany the completed application form and must include a summary of the organization's history, a statement of the organization's mission, a description of the proposed target audience, a project timetable, a description of planned collaborations and a statement of objectives. "B ut it ain't about money," Sim pso n says. "It's about savin g lives." 7 �Michigan AIDS Fund Financial Statements Years Ended March 31, 1997 & 1996 Balance Sheet Assets Cash Investments Contributions receivable Prepaids and other assets Total assets Liabilities Accounts payable Due to CMF Grants payable Deferred revenue Total liabilities Net Assets Total liabilities and net assets March 31 1997 1996 $2,066 659,840 201,634 5,609 $869,149 $7,456 778,426 21,500 8,626 $816,008 $29,172 55,419 319,985 15,125 419,701 $20,153 0 255,714 1,925 277,792 449,448 $869,149 538,216 $816,008 Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets Support and Revenues Contributions $955,018 $846,384 14,641 15,959 Conferences Publications 0 430 40,794 47,246 Investment income & other 1,010,453 910,019 Total support revenue Expenses Grant Conferences Publications Management & Professional Programming/administrative Total Expenses 731,347 53,436 31,546 232,747 50,145 1,099,221 668,442 54,149 6,990 122,531 34,340 886,452 Changes in net asset (88,768) 23,567 Net assets at beginning of year Other transfers Net assets at end of year 538,216 514,649 $ 449,448 $ 538,216 Treasurer's Re art The Michigan AIDS Fund was established in 1989 by the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and became a separate Michigan corporation qualifying as a supporting organization of CMF in November 1993. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Fund is a public charity, exempt from federal income tax as described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. As Michigan grantmakers have discovered the technical expertise that the Fund is able to provide, they have come to rely on the Fund as an intermediary for disbursing their grant funds to help fight the AIDS epidemic. As a result, overall contributions increased by approximately $110,000 over the last year. The increase has allowed the Fund to raise overall grant payouts during the past year. To allow the Fund to draw on an extensive staff of experts, the Board of Trustees has contracted with an independent consulting firm that provides project management, staffing and support services. With the increasing demands for technical assistance and the growth of the Fund over the past several years, there has been a need to hire additional experts in areas such as publications and fund raising . During this past year the Fund also hired a new Executi~e Director who has had extensive exposure to national funders . To compensate for the staffing changes, management fees were adjusted during the past year. Ernst & Young, LLP has issued an unqualified opinion on the financial statements of the Fund for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The financial statements presented in the Annual Report have been derived from the statements audited by Ernst & Young LLP, which were prepared in accordance with GAAP, including FASB Statements Nos. 116 & 117. The Ernst & Young audited statements have been modified for the Annual Report to reflect multi-year grant commitments as revenue in the year in which the dollars are received. The audited financial statements are available for public inspection at the CMF offices. leonard Smith Treasurer �Thousand~ of school ch•ldren vmted the Ann Arbor qu•lt display. whi'h hild the theme "Remembenng L1fe... Education Mi11ds. · Ann Arbor Jaycees Telamon Corporation A $1,000 opportunity grant from the Michigan AIDS Fund in 1996 helped the Jaycees bring to Ann Arbor the second-largest display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in the last year. The event in turn raised nearly $30,000 for the HIV/AIDS Resource Center of Ypsilanti. Solid statistics about the AIDS epidemic in migrant communities are hard to track, but Nick Murphy, a health education specialist at Lansing-based Telamon Corp., says HIV/AIDS is "definitely a problem" in migrant camps. More than 11,500 people visited the 57,000square-foot display in February 1997 at the University of Michigan. "I think we need to have more displays like this," one 12-year-old Ann Arbor girl stated. "No one at school seems to understand, and this might help them ." "This quilt really made me think about the possibilities of AIDS for myself, my family, or my friends," another 12-year-old girl said. Language barriers and migrants' high rate of mobility make it difficult to teach these largely Hispanic communities about AIDS prevention. Telamon is developing bilingual prevention education packets to distribute in migrant worker camps. Spanish-speaking camp health aides will reinforce the information in the packets, which include specially-targeted messages for teens, pregnant women and young couples. Northwest Michigan Health Services Inc. in Traverse City and Midwest Migrant Health Information Office in Monroe also received Fund grants for similar programs. �List of Donors Bay Area Community Foundation Berrien Community Foundation Blue Care Network Great Lakes Blue Care Network SE Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation Chrysler Corporation Fund Community Foundation for Muskegon County Detroit Edison Foundation Detroit Neurosurgical Foundation Drug Policy Foundation Elton John Foundation First of America Bank Corporation Ford Motor Company Fund Frederick S.

Doan, Member Investment Committee Re: December 31, 1997 Investment Report Resolved: That the December 31, 1997, Investment Report be approved as presented. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve- month internal rate of return for the Council of Michigan Foundations and its supporting organizations, for the period ended December 31, 1997. 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. .. '~ Overall performance of the endowment funds continues to remain strong due to the U.S. equities portion of the portfolios. On the next page, you will note that the performance of the Allen Fund has lagged slightly behind the targeted rate of return for the past twelve months. The portfolio of this fund has consisted of actively-managed funds which target primarily medium to small cap companies with a potential for high growth. To remain consistent with the asset mix of the other endowment funds, the Investment Committee has approved a re-investment schedule that will move these funds to index funds (over the next two months) which mirror the S&P 1500. As you review the enclosed Investment Performance Report, you will note that the actual asset allocations for the endowment funds vary from the targeted asset allocation mix. Both the Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund and the MCFYP Board Designated Funds' recent influx of cash has resulted in the variances from the targeted percentages. The dollars of the KYIP Fund are being gradually invested over a twelve month period, and should be fully invested by September of this year. To deal with the variances of the asset mix of the endowment funds which are fully invested, the Investment Committee has adopted an Asset Allocation Re-Balancing Plan which instructs the Director of Finance to re-balance the portfolio over a three-month period following the end of each quarter. This recent policy will insure that the permanent funds' portfolios are automatically re-balanced on a quarterly basis to stay within the asset allocation range that was adopted by the Board. i:\dlindber\boardmet\cmt\ 199 8\m022498b.doc �33 Council of Michigan Foundations Investment Performance Report December 31, 1997 Investment Balance 12/31/97 Actual Asset Allocation Targeted Asset Allocation 12 Month Rate of Return Targeted Rate of Return Operating Funds $1,001,546 100% 100% 5.35% 5.60% MCFYP Challenge Grant Fund $18,327,896 100% 100% 5.46% 5.60% MCFYP Computer Grant Fund $1,077,103 100% 100% 5.35% 5.60% $899,962 100% 100% 5.35% 5.60% CMF Operating Fund Michigan AIDS Fund Note: All operating funds are invested in either U.S. Treasury Securities or money market accounts.
