These rules could have a wide ranging impact on the communication of your organization. In August, the FCC issued an Order on Reconsideration that extends the effective date of the Do-Not-Fax Rules from August 26, 2003 to January 1, 2005. Therefore, until January 1, 2005, an established business relationship will continue to be sufficient to show that an individual or business has given express permission to receive facsimile advertisements. All of your calls and letters to the FCC expressing concern over these rule changes convinced them to spend the proper time needed to analyze the impact of the proposed changes. AMERICORPS UPDATE In July, the Senate voted to provide AmeriCorps with an additional $100 million as part of an emergency spending bill, however the House rejected this provision and passed the bill without the AmeriCorps funds included. The Senate then voted to pass the House version of the bill before adjourning for the August recess. Key opponents of the AmeriCorps funding in the House asserted that mismanagement had led to the funding crisis, and that appropriating more money was not going to solve the problem. Congressional leadership did state, however, that this issue could be taken up again in the future. MNA members and other nonprofits in the state were very active in conveying the importance of the AmeriCorps program to policymakers and the public. For more information see the MNA Web site at www.mnaonline.org and the Save AmeriCorps Coalition Web site at www.saveamericorps.org �CARE ACT Chairman Bill Thomas (R-CA) has scheduled the Charitable Giving Act (H.R. 7) for "mark up" by the House Ways and Means Committee on September 5. The committee tax staff is at work on the Chairman's version of the bill, which is expected to contain several charitable tax incentives including a charitable giving deduction for taxpayers who take the standard deduction and a provision to allow taxpayers to make direct cash transfers and deferred gifts to charities from IRAs without suffering adverse tax consequences. The fate of Section 105 of the bill, which would reduce the excise tax on the investment eamings of private foundations and exclude administrative expenses from funds private foundations are required to "pay out" annually for charitable purposes, remains uncertain. Meetings with members of Congress and their staffs have unearthed strongly-held views that some foundations' expenditures for office space, travel and benefits, and payments to trustees, senior executives and family members are excessive and need to be better controlled. The bill sponsors and other congressional representatives have also expressed concern about increasing funding for charities, especially given the cutrent cuts in government funding. On July 31, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R· TX) introduced a new bill (S.1514) that would exclude compensation to executives and directors and certain travel expenditures from the expenses foundations may count toward their minimum charity donation requirements. In her statement to the Senate, Senator Hutchison noted her concern about "well-publicized incidents of abuse by a few foundations," but she also stated her exception to Section 105 in H.R. 7: "Many foundations will find it difficult to earn the retums necessary to maintain their underlying endowments and cover the five percent requirement in addition to all administrative costs. This could lead to a diminished ability to fulfill their missions over time, as underlying endowments are eroded as an unintended consequence. Some foundations may try to meet this challenge by reducing important, legitimate spending such as on legal compliance." The specific provisions of Senator Hutchison's bill are: • Lower the excise tax on the net investment income of private foundations to I percent; • Increase from 5 percent to 25 percent the excise tax on self-dealing and failure to distribute income; • Re-define "reasonable and necessary administrative expenses" to include "administrative expenses which are directly attributable to direct charitable activities, grant selection activities, grant monitoring and administration activities, compliance with applicable federal, state, or local law, or furthering public accountability of the private foundation"; �• • Exclude any compensation to persons who are considered "disqualified persons" from the expenses that can be counted towards a foundation's payout requirement; Exclude expenses for travel outside the United States, first-class air travel, or travel via a private aircraft from the expenses that can be counted towards a foundation's payout requirement. Senator Hutchison's altemative is one of the many options under consideration by the House Ways and Means Committee. Reports from the Committee staff also indicate concems over a provision IS has supported to simplify the lobbying expenditure rules for charitable nonprofits. The provision in Section 206 of the bill would allow nonprofits to devote all or part of their lobbying expenditures to either grassroots or direct lobbying efforts, rather than the current lower allowance for grassroots expenditures. IfH.R. 7 is passed by the Ways and Means Committee on September 4, the bill would move to the House floor for consideration. Any final bill passed by the House would then go to a conference committee to resolve any differences between the House bill and the CARE Act (S. 476) passed by the Senate last April. Advocates for provisions in the CARE Act that are not included in the House bill, such as restoration of Social Services Block Grant funding, are currently focusing their efforts on influencing the outcomes of that conference. (Source: Independent Sector) STATE Sales Tax Exemption House bill4863, introduced by Representative Brian Palmer (R· Romeo), would amend the Sales Tax Act to provide an exemption against the first $75,000 of sales at retail by a nonprofit entity for fundraising purposes. The introduced bill revises the General Sales Tax Act which applies to nonprofit organizations that sell retail for fundraising purposes. For example, a museum may have a gift store that helps to fund the organization. Currently, an organization with total retail sales of less than $5,000 for a calendar year does not have to collect sales tax for fundraising purposes. To address the growing fundraising needs of nonprofits, the Act raises the threshold to $75,000. A drafted substitute to the bill, by Representative Palmer, also removes the retroactive tax once the threshold is broken. This change addresses situations when nonprofits sell above the threshold and must collect sales tax from the first dollar. The current retroactive policy leads to a penalty for nonprofits that raise more than the allotted amount. For example, under current law, a nonprofit that raises $5,001 is responsible for paying sales tax for the entire amount raised. Whereas, a nonprofit that raises up to $5,000 does not have to collect sales tax. The bill was introduced on June 19 and was referred to the Committee on Tax Policy. There are no immediate plans to address the bill in committee. �Volunteer Investment Grant Program Despite outcry from the nonprofit sector, the Michigan Legislature recently cut the Volunteer Investment Grant Program from over $780,000 to $280,000. The VIG program, which assists communities in solving pressing social problems by supporting the needed volunteer infrastructure is essential to meeting the needs of Michigan communities. However, the funding for this program has been cut by 22% over the past few years. This is particularly disturbing in light of these difficult economic times and decreased giving and volunteering by Michigan residents. According to a recent study, Michigan residents decreased their levels of volunteering by 16% from 2001, which means only about 30% of Michiganians volunteered last year. In addition, giving was down last year, from 89.1% in 2001 to 80.1% in 2002. Not only does the VIG program strengthen nonprofit organizations and their ability to serve those in need, but it also contributes to the local economy. Specifically: • To date, communities have leveraged $5.8 million locally to match the $4.8 million of state funds. • Volunteer Investment Grants have supported 34 volunteer resource centers throughout Michigan. These 34 centers serve 38 of Michigan's 83 countiesreaching 53% of Michigan's population. All told, 97 Volunteer Investment Grants have been awarded to local volunteer resource centers. • In 2003, a total of$780,095 was awarded to 17 volunteer resource centers. These grants range in size from $24,200 to $100,000. Local communities will leverage at least $780,095 in local funds for VIG in 2003. The annual fund is a granting program of the Michigan Community Service Commission, with grants ranging from $25,000 to $100,000. Each grant has to be matched by the local community, with the local match being placed into an endowment for community-based volunteer initiatives. The State VIG grant can be used by the organization to enhance their capacity tlu·ough program development, technology enhancements or technical. �Regional Public Policy Councils Introduction Since the 1997 introduction of term limits in Michigan, CMF and MNA have recognized the importance of building the capacity of nonprofit organizations and foundations in the area of public policy engagement. Both organizations have established Public Policy Committees to guide their work in this area and both approach their work from a statewide perspective. MNA and CMF believe that creating regional capacity to address public policy issues is critical to establishing a supportive environment for the work of their members. With seed money from the Joyce Foundation, MNA and CMF propose establishing a network of approximately six Regional Public Policy Councils across the state that would work in coordination with the statewide Public Policy Committees mentioned above. Because of their regional commitment, a local coordinating organization at each site must be selected to lead. Purpose The overarching goal of the regional councils are to respond, on the grassroots level in a proactive and reactive manner, to public policy that broadly affects the nonprofit sector and to sub-sector issues that could have far-reaching implications for all Michigan nonprofits. Specifically, the Regional Council will: 1. Train nonprofits in the region on the topics of effective advocacy, rules and regulations for lobbying and working with the media. 2. Educate nonprofits in the area on issues of relevance to the sector both in the region and around the state. 3. Advocate to policymakers on behalf of the nonprofits in the council. Local Coordinating Group's Responsibilities Will include the following: • • • Participating in a one-day training with MNA/CMF staff on marketing, advocacy, lobbying rules and regulations. Serving as the lead organization for that region by establishing the Council and attracting members to it, convening quarterly Council meetings, guiding its work, and repotiing to MNA and CMF on its activities and progress. Serving as a liaison to the CMF and MNA Public Policy Committees to connect regional and statewide work through including collaborating on program and strategy development and information dissemination. �• • Making annual recommendations to MNA and CMF to inform the work of their Committees. Participating in an evaluation to determine the effectiveness of and to infotm the refinement of the model. We anticipate surveying members of each Council at the outset of the project to get baseline information about current level of understanding about public policy engagement and expectations for the Council. At the end of the one-year phase, a second survey would be conducted to measure change. MNA/CMF Responsibilities • • • MNA/CMF will host the one-day training for the local coordinating group. MNA/CMF will lead trainings or discussions with the Councils as requested. MNA/CMF will provide updates on relevant statewide policy issues to the Councils. Funding Each lead organization will receive a grant of$7,000 from MNA to underwrite Council meeting expenses, staff time, overhead, materials, and other costs. Depending on the individual Council's chosen activities, these funds may or may not cover 100% of annual expenses. �UNIFORM GRANT GUIDELINES PROJECT IN MICHIGAN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The Uniform Grant Guidelines Project goals are to reduce the cost and burden, and to improve the effectiveness, of financial management of nonprofit and local government grantees and their government funding agencies. To achieve this goal, the Project's primary objective is to establish uniform guidelines for budgeting, accounting, financial reporting, and auditing for nonprofit and local government recipients of grant funds fi·om federal, state, and local government. The secondary objective of the project is to expand the guidelines for grantees of foundations, United Ways, and other non-governmental funding sources. The Project will also pursue the development of a state policy to facilitate the use of uniform grant guidelines. The Universal Inconsistency Problem There is universal inconsistency among virtually all federal, state, and local government agencies in the budget and financial reporting categories and related financial te1ms and definitions that are required of nonprofit and local grant recipients. Further, these varied budgeting and reporting requirements are inconsistent with the IRS Form 990 information return for nonprofits and with generally accepted accounting principles for nonprofits and local governments. The requirements are often even inconsistent with Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circulars including Circular A-122 Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations and Circular A-87 Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments. For decades, this inconsistent and conflicting financial administration of government grants has been disruptive, confusing, time consuming and costly for all nonprofit and local government grant recipients as well as for the government agencies and programs that fund them. On the state level nonprofit organizations have reported that it is difficult to find information about grant oppmtunities, application and administration of grants vary from department to department and program to program, and reporting requirements on grants can be burdensome. The National and State Effort The 1061" U.S. Congress passed Public Law 106-107 (Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act) on November 20, 1999. This law aims to improve the effectiveness and performance of federal programs, simplify federal financial assistance application and reporting, and improve the delivery services to the public. Specifically, the law requires that Federal agencies establish : • a common application and reporting system, • a common system (including electronic processes) for non-federal entities to apply for, manage and report on the use of funding from Federal agencies, and �• uniform administrative rules for federal financial assistance programs. In response to this Jaw, the non-profit sector initiated a project to bring uniformity to grant reporting. In 2003 the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers, and Treasurers (NASACT) joined The Urban Institute and several other organizations as cosponsors of the project. NASACT subsequently asked Michigan to join its effort to seek uniform grant guidelines. The Urban Institute also asked the Michigan Nonprofit Association, a member of the National Council of Nonprofit Associations (a partner in the national project), to assist the state by providing feedback on the uniform guidelines. Further, several NASACT members and senior staff have suggested that municipal governments and other sub-recipients are faced with the same costly and burdensome inconsistent grants budgeting and repotting problems that nonprofits face. Therefore, the project is expanding to include all sub-recipients. Although the state of Michigan cunently has uniform guidelines for governmental subrecipients, the state does not currently have uniform application and administration guidelines for nonprofit and governmental recipients of state grants. In light of Public Law I 06- I 07 these guidelines may need to be revised and/or expanded. To meet these needs, the state is convening a group of state agency representatives to serve in an advisory capacity to assist in the development of uniform grant guidelines and to provide feedback throughout the process as working documents are drafted and reviewed. Also, the Michigan Nonprofit Association is convening a group of chief financial officers and finance directors from the nonprofit sector, as well accountants and auditors from the private sector that represent nonprofits, to provide feedback on the process and to review possible policies and procedures. �Michigan Nonprofit Association Nonprofit Advisory Committee to Michigan Attorney General Committee Description and Priorities Objective To advise the Attorney General on issues related to charities and charitable giving in Michigan, the Michigan Nonprofit Association proposes that the Nonprofit Advisory Committee focus on the following objectives: 1. Provide feedback, as needed, on existing and emerging regulations affecting the nonprofit sector. The purpose of this objective is to periodically review the existing state legislation and regulations goveming the charitable community and to provide suggestions for maintaining cohesion between the law and the changing nonprofit/fundraising environment. The input and feedback of the sector through the Nonprofit Advisory Committee will inform revision and implementation of these laws and practices. Priorities in this area may include: • Periodic review and suggestions for revision of relevant regulations, • Providing input and feedback to proposed changes in charitable legislation emanating from the legislature, Attorney General or other source, and • Exploring opportunities to educate and work with the legislature regarding the regulation of charities. 2. Assist the Attorney General with educating donors and citizens about charities and charitable giving. The Charitable Trust Section of the Attomey General's office is an important source of information about and for the sector. This objective will help inform the Attomey General on how to maximize the information, tools and leadership available to educate donors and citizens about charities and charitable giving. Changes in the fundraising environment, including on-line giving and recent scandals regarding the accountability of charities, have made it imperative that the public make educated choices for donations. Priorities in this area may include: • Providing feedback and recommendations on cmTent public education efforts, and \ �• Identifying opportunities and strategies for the Attorney General to educate donors/citizens about the state's nonprofits, including the importance of giving and how donors can give wisely. 3. Enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of collecting data about charities and fundraisers. Although over 3,000 charities are registered with the Charitable Ttust Section, there are still a number of charities and fundraisers that are not aware of the registration and disclosure requirements of the state. For the purpose of accountability of organization practices and an accounting of the scope of the sector, it is important that all required charities register and understand the disclosure requirements. Some key priorities in this area may include: • Exploring and implementing methods to inform nonprofits and fundraisers about registration/disclosure requirements, • Reviewing the type of data collected and its uses, suggest potential audiences for this information, and explore how technology can facilitate the collection process, and • Evaluating models and experiences from other states, regarding their collection of data. Composition of Committee MNA proposes that the full Committee meet twice a year and be chaired by the Attorney General or senior staff member. As discussed previously, the Michigan Nonprofit Association is willing to coordinate and manage the committee. MNA also proposes to assign committee members to work groups organized around the objectives outlined above. These committees would also meet twice during the year and would be staffed by MNA. To reflect the geographic and mission diversity ofthe sector, the following is a list of potential "types" of groups that may be asked to serve: • • • I Statewide nonprofit organizations representing the arts, education, human services, foundations and nonprofits. Local nonprofit organizations representing the health and human services, the arts, the environment and the foundation community. Professionals working with nonprofits including accountants, lawyers and professional fundraisers. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Singh discussed and distributed a copy of the Michigan Nonprofit Leaders Institute Business Plan. He noted that a request for funding was sent to a major foundation. The first class of Emerging Leaders was initially funded by MNA and the second class is being funded by DTE Energy Foundation. He thanked K. Hall for her support of the program. He also thanked R. Schultheiss, MNA Consultant, for her work in developing the business plan. S. Singh reported that conversations have taken place with NPower, City Connect Detroit and several foundations regarding funding an office in the Detroit area. Approximately 15 organizations will be asked to serve on an Advisory Board to develop a plan of action. All of the MNA Board members were invited to contact D. Swenson or S.

MNA is working to mobilize the Michigan nonprofit sector in a grassroots effort to urge Congress to reinstitute AmeriCorps funding to 2002 levels, as well as other activities. T. Clay discussed the State Budget overview. He noted that the Michigan's tax structure is increasingly becoming mismatched and that in Michigan few services are taxed directly. As the services sector is the fastest growing area in the economy, this places instate businesses at a competitive disadvantage. A national solution to this situation is underway, but is likely to take several years to change. T. Clay also discussed expenditure demands in corrections and health care programs. This topic was referred back to MNA staff to work with the Public Policy Committee. An update will be made at the September 16, 2003 Board of Trustees meeting. 6. Finance Committee Report M.

We hope to have the brochure ready for a membership recmitment campaign by the end of October. Although our membership has increased slightly this past quatier, we are not reaching the goal that we had set in the Strategic Plan in 200 l. Possibly the renewed effoti and a sharp brochure will help to better market MNA. !Publications The bookstore on the Web site is being updated. Several new publications have atrived and a few out-of-print titles have been removed. We are currently investigating an online credit card processing system which will probably increase sales and reduce the time required for invoicing and follow-up. I Benefits & Services Two new membership services are being investigated: I. Online Postage- This system will allow MNA and our member organizations to save money on postage by purchasing and printing postage via the internet. Much of the savings comes from elimination of rental fees for postage meters. 2. Conference Calling- Details are being finalized on a conference call plan that will reduce costs for members. Details will be finalized before the winter Board meeting. I MNA Publications Due to an increased amount of news in the nonprofit sector, the past few issues of MNA Links have been larger than the usual 16 pages. The increased size has made adhering to deadlines more difficult; however we make every attempt to get the newsletter to you by the fifth of the month. Plans are underway for the 2004 MNA Directory. A decision has been made to change the directory to have greater focus on consultants and other resources for nonprofit organizations. The amount of member information, which changes the most rapidly will not be included in the directory but will be kept up-to-date on the Web site. �IMNA Web Site As previously mentioned, the online bookstore is being updated and online credit card processing will soon appear. Remember to check the Web site often as new information is added on a regular basis. I Classified Advertising The pattnership with Opportunity Knocks, a national job posting service that was announced last quarter has been postponed due to financial issues that could not be resolved. In spite of the employment market, we continue to have numerous postings for jobs in the nonprofit sector. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A motion to approve the engagement of services provided to Michigan Nonprofit Association to be conducted by David J. Ambrose, CPA for the year ended June 30, 2003. �David J, Ambrose, CPA Certified Public Accountant 836 Centennial Way, Suite 110 Lansing, Michigan 4891 7 (517) 319-1040 • Fax (517) 319-1043 September 2, 2003 MICHIGAN NONPROFIT ASSOCIATION 1048 Pierpont Dr, Ste 3 Lansing, Ml 48911 We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide for Michigan Nonprofit Association for the year ended June 30, 2003. We will audit the statement of financial position of Michigan Nonprofit Association as of June 30, 2003, and the related statements of · activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended. The objective of our audit is the expression of an opinion about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, In all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit will be conducted In accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and will include tests of your accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion. If our opinion Is other than unqualified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to express an opinion or to issue a report as a result of this engagement. Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected funding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We may also request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement. At the conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial statements and related matters. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. Also, we will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from errors, fraudulent financial reporting, misappropriation of assets, or violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the Organization or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the Organization. Because an audit Is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, we will inform you of any material errors and any fraudulent financial reporting or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also Inform you of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly Inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors; . Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of Internal control sufficient to plan the audit and to determine the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures to be performed. An audit Is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify reportable conditions, that Is, significant deficiencies in the design or operation of Internal control. However, during the audit, if we become aware of such reportable conditions, we will communicate them to you. �You are responsible for making all financial records and related Information available to us and for the accuracy and completeness of that information. We will advise you about appropriate accounting principles and their application and will assist in the preparation of your financial statements, but the responsibility for the financial statements remains with you. This responsibility includes the establishment and maintenance of adequate records and effective internal controls over financial reporting, the selection and application of accounting principles, and the safeguarding of assets. You are responsible for adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and for confirming to us in the management representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the .current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both Individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the organization Involving (1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and {3) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. You are also responsible for informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the Organization received in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are responsible for identifying and ensuring the Organization complies with applicable laws and regulations. We understand that your employees will prepare all cash, grant receivable, and other confirmations we request and will locate any documents selected by us for testing. As part of our engagement, we will also prepare the federal form 990 "Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax" for the year ended June 30, 2003. We estimate that our fees for these services will not exceed $5,500 for the audit and $500 for the information return. The fee estimate is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee estimate before we Incur the additional costs. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on presentation. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you and believe this letter accurately summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If you agree with the terms of our engagement as described in this letter, please sign the enclosed copy and return It to us. "b;pj"A~ David J Ambrose, CPA RESPONSE: .

Due to accounting errors within the Corporation for National and Community Service, states across the country were notified last week that the existing 900 AmeriCorps programs would be drastically cut (50% to 90% depending on the state). Last week Congress took its first steps to solve this situation by passing S.l276. This legislation sets forth how the CNCS will account for the members it enrolls (patt of the reason the Corporation needs to cut funding is because of miscalculations of members). However, even with the accountability measures, it is still necessary that a $200 supplemental appropriation be made to the Education Award Trust to make the Trust solvent with a balance to support 75,000 members (next year's recruitment goal) and to reinstitute AmeriCorps funding to 2002 levels. As nonprofits face difficult times, the loss of these volunteers and programs will decrease services provided across the country. The following is more information on S. 1276: What it does: S.l276 sets the standard accounting fmmula for the Educational Award Trust. The Bond-Mikulski bill, called the 'Strengthen AmeriCorps Program Act of2003,' will allow CNCS to enroll up to 50,000 AmeriCorps members in 2003. The major provisions of the legislation include: • Allows CNCS to fund AmeriCorps education awards based on Office of Management and Budget (OMB) formulas by counting awards eamed and used by AmeriCorps volunteers. • Establishes a central reserve fund to protect the CNCS against over-enrollment of AmeriCorps members. • Requires the Chief Executive Officer to certifY that the National Service Trust fund contains adequate funds to meet education award liabilities. • Requires an independent audit of the Corporation's funding formula. �• • • • • • o Encouraging grantees to recruit friends of their cause to carry their message (alumni, AmeriCorps members, local elected officials, media, board members, etc.) Asking grantees and MNA members to urge their Representatives to sign a letter being circulated in Congress asking the President to support a supplemental appropriation. Assisting grantees with arranging site visits by their Representatives. Contacting the Michigan delegation regarding the Association's position. Offering advocacy technical assistance to organizations when requested. Working within the national network of state associations (National Council of Nonprofit Associations) to encourage MNA's sister state associations to take action. Providing on-going information to the sector regarding the issue. VOLUNTEER INVESTMENT GRANT PROGRAM Background The VIG program, which assists communities in solving pressing social problems by supporting the needed volunteer infrastructure is essential to meeting the needs of Michigan communities. However, the funding for this program has been cut by 22% over the past few years. This is particularly disturbing in light of these difficult economic times and decreased giving and volunteering by Michigan residents. According to a recent study, Michigan residents decreased their levels of volunteering by 16% from 2001, which means only about 30% ofMichiganians volunteered last year. In addition, giving was down last year, from 89.1% in 2001 to 80.1% in 2002. Not only does the VIG program strengthen nonprofit organizations and their ability to serve those in need, but it also contributes to the local economy. Specifically: • To date, communities have leveraged $5.8 million locally to match the $4.8 million of state funds. • Volunteer Investment Grants have supp01ied 34 volunteer resource centers throughout Michigan. These 34 centers serve 38 of Michigan's 83 countiesreaching 53% of Michigan's population. All told, 97 Volunteer Investment Grants have been awarded to local volunteer resource centers. • In 2003, a total of $780,095 was awarded to 17 volunteer resource centers. These grants range in size from $24,200 to $100,000. Local communities will leverage at least $780,095 in local funds for VIG in 2003. The annual fund is a granting program of the Michigan Community Service Commission, with grants ranging from $25,000 to $100,000. Each grant has to be matched by the local community, with the local match being placed into an endowment for community-based volunteer initiatives. The State VIG grant can be used by the organization to enhance their capacity through program development, technology enhancements or technical. �federal and state revenues that are used to provide community services, such as quality schools, staffed and equipped hospitals and police and fire deparhnents, good roads, clean air and water, parks, and libraries. Although the nonprofit sector remains a strong partner with government, it can not fulfill these needs without federal and state support. Since Michigan has only a "pickup" estate tax, that is, it has an estate tax that is set equal to the amount of the federal credit, it has been estimated that Michigan could loose up to $565 million in revenue between Fiscal Years 2003 and 2007 if the federal estate tax is eliminated. What MNA is doingMNA previously sent letters to Congress urging that they consider the consequences of permanent repeal of the estate tax on charities. MNA will send Senators Levin and Stabenow letters reminding them of the impact of permanent repeal. CHARITABLE GIVING ACT 2003 Background On April 9, the Senate passed the CARE Act of2003 by a vote of95-5. All eyes are now on the House of Representatives to see whether it can pass a charitable giving bill and if so, what it will contain. Representatives Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN) recently introduced the latest charitable giving bill in the House of Representatives--the Charitable Giving Act of 2003, H.R.7. The charitable giving provisions of the bills are similar. However, there is one major difference-the House bill prohibits private foundations from counting administrative expenses as distributions. Thus, private foundations would no longer be able to include administrative expenses in detetmining their payout. Specific provisions of the Act include: ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ Non-itemizer deduction-- up to $250 ($500 for joint filers) for cash contributions in excess of $250 ($500 for joint filers) Tax-free distributions from IRAs for charitable purposes at age 70 Y, Increase in cap on corporate charitable contributions Enhanced charitable deduction for contributions offood inventory Reduction of tax on net investment income of private foundations to 1 percent Prohibition on private foundations from including administrative expenses in determining their payout rate Imposition of an excise tax on the unrelated business taxable income of a charitable remainder annuity hust or a charitable remainder unitrust Expansion of charitable contribution allowed for scientific propetiy used for research and for computer technology and equipment used for educational purposes Adjustment to basis of S corporation stock for certain charitable contributions � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Cuts in spending have already been approved and future cuts are anticipated. These reductions are extremely disturbing considering that state spending on arts, k-12 education, higher education, environment and natural resources, and health and human services are already at a bare minimum. Additional funding cuts to these programs and services will devastate the quality of life here in Michigan. These programs are often ones that the government can not or does not have the ability to provide alone. In addition to suppott for individuals and municipalities, the state makes grants to and contracts with nonprofit organizations to provide needed services for Michigan families. Not only will additional cuts harm the individuals and municipalities that rely on direct state funding, but it will also hinder if not prevent the nonprofit community from carrying out its charitable mission. Worsening the situation are decreasing levels of foundation and individual giving, which leave organizations with few or no resources to replace funding from the state or to support the services that government may choose to no longer provide. In addition to a weak economy, decreases in state revenue have made it increasingly difficult to support the current quality of life that Michigan residents expect. Unfortunately recent solutions to the state budget crisis have only been temporary, and most expetts agree that more permanent solutions must be found. A permanent solution is to address the lack of revenue by urging policymakers to adopt a sufficient tax base to support Michigan residents. The following is a proposed statement on this issue, which was drafted by the MNA Public Policy Committee and a group of select MNA members representing the subsectors mentioned below: The Michigan Nonprofit Association urges achievement of sufficient state and federal revenue bases to mitigate harmful budget reductions in the areas of arts; k-12 education; higher education; environment and natural resources; and health and human services, and support reasonable growth over time. �If the MNA Executive Committee suppmts this statement, it is proposed that the next step include the full board's review of the following possible solutions to the budget stmctural problems. Although additional solutions will be proposed by lawmakers, support of the following will shape and guide the work of the Association as it works with coalitions on this matter. Before the board takes specific positions on budget solutions, staff proposes that an expert on these topics such as Tom Clay with Citizens Research Council of Michigan be invited to the next board meeting to review the pros and cons of these suggestions: 1. Decouple from the federal estate tax- this proposal would include joining 17 other states by passing legislation to allow the state to continue collecting estate tax despite action on the federal level. It is estimated that between fiscal years 2003 and 2007, Michigan would retain $565 million by decoupling. 2. Retain the Single Business Tax or replace it with a tax of similar capacity- the Single Business Tax currently provides '14 of the General Fund revenues, and prior to its phase-out constituted a larger share. 3. Adjust alcohol taxes for inflation- the beer tax has not been adjusted for inflation since 1966 and the wine tax has not been adjusted since 1981. It is estimated that if both the beer and wine taxes were doubled, to reflect inflation and recoup from inflationary loss, $51 million would be generated. 4. Postpone the scheduled reduction in the income tax rate- if the rate reduction from 4 percent to 3.9 percent did not occur in January 2004, the state would retain $118 million. 5. Modernize the Michigan sales tax stmcture to reflect changes in technology and the change from a manufacturing to a service economy- as the technological and service sector continues to grow the state looses revenue because its sales tax stmcture does not reflect the changing environment. The loss of revenue from consumer remote sales is estimated to be $349 million by fiscal year 2005, and the estimated loss of revenue from exemption of services was 4.6 billion in fiscal year 2001. The above suggestions will not completely solve the state's crisis, however, for MNA to advocate for a sufficient tax base the Association must have suggestions to begin doing so. MNA also recognizes that this policy issue is an uphill battle, and to be successful it must include suppoti from leadership of business and government. The Association is currently working with other organizations to begin engaging these individuals and to educate the general public on the current budget crisis and expected future problems. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Provide feedback, as needed, on existing and emerging regulations affecting the nonprofit sector. The purpose of this objective is to periodically review the existing state legislation and regulations governing the charitable community and to provide suggestions for maintaining cohesion between the law and the changing nonprofit/fundraising environment. The input and feedback of the sector through the Nonprofit Advisory Committee will inform revision and implementation of these laws and practices. Priorities in this area may include: • Periodic review and suggestions for revision of relevant regulations, • Providing input and feedback to proposed changes in charitable legislation emanating from the legislature, Attorney General or other source, and • Exploring opportunities to educate and work with the legislature regarding the regulation of charities. 2. Assist the Attorney General with educating donors and citizens about charities and charitable giving. The Charitable Trust Section of the Attorney General's office is an important source of information about and for the sector. This objective will help inform the Attorney General on how to maximize the information, tools and leadership available to educate donors and citizens about charities and charitable giving. Changes in the fundraising environment, including on-line giving and recent scandals regarding the accountability of charities, have made it imperative that the public make educated choices for donations. Priorities in this area may include: • Providing feedback and recommendations on current public education efforts, mid �• Identifying oppotiunities and strategies for the Attomey General to educate donors/citizens about the state's nonprofits, including the importance of giving and how donors can give wisely. 3. Enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of collecting data about charities and fundraisers. Although over 3,000 charities are registered with the Charitable Ttust Section, there are still a number of charities and fundraisers that are not aware of the registration and disclosure requirements of the state. For the purpose of accountability of organization practices and an accounting of the scope of the sector, it is important that all required charities register and understand the disclosure requirements. Some key priorities in this area may include: • Exploring and implementing methods to inform nonprofits and fundraisers about registration/disclosure requirements, • Reviewing the type of data collected and its uses, suggest potential audiences for this information, and explore how technology can facilitate the collection process, and • Evaluate models and experiences from other states, regarding their collection of data. Composition of Committee MNA proposes that the full Committee meet twice a year and be chaired by the Attomey General or senior staff member. As discussed previously, the Michigan Nonprofit Association is willing to coordinate and manage the committee. MNA also proposes to assign committee members to work groups organized around the objectives outlined above. These committees would also meet twice during the year and would be staffed by MNA. To reflect the geographic and mission diversity of the sector, the following is a list of potential "types" of groups that may be asked to serve: • • • Statewide nonprofit organizations representing the arts, education, human services, foundations and nonprofits. Local nonprofit organizations representing the health and human services, the atis, the environment and the foundation community. Professionals working with nonprofits including accountants, lawyers and professional fundraisers. Timeline MNA proposes that committee members be recruited over the summer, and that the launching of the committee be announced in the fall in conjunction with the first meeting. At the first meeting, committee members would determine dates for future full committee meetings as well as sub-committee meetings. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

From homeless shelters, to protecting our great lakes, to neighborhood improvement and supporting the arts, nonprofits provide valuable services that would be otherwise unavailable to our citizens. In addition to foundation, corporate, and individual support, Michigan's grant and contract making process makes it possible for nonprofits to fulfill the services required by the people of Michigan. By outsourcing to the nonprofit community, the State is able to provide these services by experienced personnel at the local level, and the nonprofits are able to provide services that would otherwise be unavailable. This makes the grant and contract making process a vital component in many of the services that Michigan's citizens utilize on a daily basis. In these difficult economic times it is more important than ever for nonprofits and government to work together. The Michigan Nonprofit Association recently sent a survey out to its 700+ members across the State to gauge how well they perceive the grant and contract making process to be working. This survey was designed not only as a measure of the current state of the process, but as a tool for both government and the nonprofits to use when looking for ways to improve the system. The survey asked respondents to answer questions regarding the type of organization they represented, where they were located, their size, funding situation, and whether they currently had a grant or contract with a state agency. If the respondent's organization did have a grant or contract from the State, they were then asked a variety of questions about that grant or contract. If the respondent did not currently have a grant, then they were asked questions related to why they did not. Finally, all respondents were given a chance to comment on the grant and contract making process in general. The survey was completed and returned by 218 respondents, representing a diverse segment of the nonprofit community. Respondents came from organizations involved in education, human services, health, community improvement, arts, and many other areas of focus located throughout the state of Michigan. In addition, the Michigan Nonprofit Association held focus groups with leaders from the nonprofit community to further identify problem areas with the grant and contract making · process. These focus groups provided anecdotal information to complement the statistical data taken from the survey. a Sixty-four percent of nonprofits responded that they currently had grant or contract with the State, while 36% responded that they did not. This shows that a significant portion of the nonprofit sector is currently relying on the State's grant and contracting program for at least a portion of their funding. �KEY FINDINGS • Few non profits are finding information regarding available grants through state agency announcements. There is a consensus among nonprofit grantseekers that information regarding available grants and contracts from state agencies can be difficult to find. The majority of nonprofits that have grants or contracts with the state find out about them through previous experience with that particular agency, or through contacts they have with the agency. Exhibit 1 How did you find out about the availability of this state grant or contract? State Agency Website State Agency E-Mail State Agency Printed Publications Direct Contact With A State Official Monitoring Specific Pieces of Legislation Contacts Within the Nonprofit Community Previous Experience With the Agency Other 1.7% 0% 5.9% 21.2% 1.7% 15.3% 43.2% 11% This creates a system in which large, established nonprofits have a clear advantage in securing state grants. Smaller nonprofits may not have contacts within an agency from which they can receive grant information from, thus keeping them out of the state grant and contracting process. "We would like to be better informed This is further backed up by the responses from nonprofits about what contracts and grants are who have never applied for funding from the state. Thirtyavailable. Because we are a private eight percent stated that they did not know how to find non-proAt, we are not In the mainstream of agencies typically information about state funding, while 34% responded that receiving these grants/contracts. There they did not know if there was funding available for their are some we'd like to apply for but services. This shows that nearly 3 out of 4 nonprofits in never hear about. Michigan who have not applied to receive funding from the state have not done so because they simply do not know where to find the necessary information. 11 • The turnaround time from when a grant or contract is awarded until money is received can be excessive. Time From Contract Awarded Until Finalized Nonprofits report that once they receive notification of being awarded a state grant or contract, they are given little or no information about when the deal will be finalized and payment will begirt This can create a difficult situation for nonprofits when developing programs based on the expected money coming in from the state. The turnaround time ranged from 3 weeks to 8 months. Without knowledge of when to expect money from the state, nonprofits often have to begin a project without that funding. This creates a further financial burden by requiring them to tap into otherwise allocated resources in order to fund the project until state money begins coming in. <1 1-<2 2-<3 3-<4 >4 Month Months Months Months Months Exhibit 2 Did you need to begin work on the project before the contract was finalized? Yes No 65% 35% �• Reporting requirements can place an undue burden on nonprofits. While the majority of the survey's respondents stated that they "Expenses for non-profits exist whether one client or 100 clients had an accessible contact person with the agency that handled are served. Payment based on their grant or contract, they often added that the reporting head count is very difficult. requirements themselves were often redundant and Performance measures need to be used to judge the quality of burdensome. This creates the problem in which nonprofits are programming, but again, when it spending a great deal of time, and a large portion of their is tied to your payment, It Is resources, simply completing all of the reporting requirements. very difficult to provide the service and then find out at the If an organization does not have the resources available to both end that you will not get paid for perform their services and complete the reporting It because the client didn't requirements, they often choose to discontinue the grant or perform up to standardl contract with the state. Forty-six percent of organizations that had been funded in the past but no longer are, repmt that it is because the reporting requirements were too much for them to handle. 11 11 11 The reporting requirements can also be unclear. There is often ambiguity over how reimbursement for services will be handled in the reports, which can lead to nonprofits being denied payment because the service was not done in the manner in which the agency requires. Reason Organizations Are No Longer Receiving Funding 17.7 Ill Funding Didn't Meet Costs of Service II Funding No Longer Available 15.4 D Requirements Infringed On Our GoalsNalues III Requirements Took Up Too Much Staff Time & Resources Ill Other • The application and administration of a grant ot' contract varies a great deal between state departments, making it difficult to understand the requirements. There is a clear lack of uniformity between state agencies when it comes to their grant and contracting processes. Each agency has their own procedures and requirements in both the application and administration process. This makes it difficult to understand what the requirements are for an agency, especially for nonprofits that have grants and contracts with multiple agencies. "All agencies and departments should be consistent In all aspects of managing the grant/contract process. Consistent tlmeframes for completion and awarding of grants between agencies should be developed. we apply for funding through several agencies, and It Is difficult to understand the different requirements each one has. tr �( RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the responses from this survey, as well as previous discussions with leaders in the notiprofit community, the Michigan Nonprofit Association has developed a series of policy recommendations to State policymakers aimed at improving the State grant and contracting process: • • • • • Analyze Current Contracting and Granting Procedures- Convene a meeting of State department delegates, nonprofit representatives and business leaders to commission a study of the State's overall granting and contracting process. Adjust Payment Reimbursement Procedures- Review payment procedures in all departments to determine where delays occur and what changes can be made to avoid delay in payment. Also, develop special mles for small nonprofits that allow payments to an account that can be drawn upon to pay for expenses the group cannot afford to advance. Initiate Outreach to Make Non profits Mm·e Aware of State Grant ProgramsAgencies need to conduct outreach programs to make more nonprofits aware of State grant opportunities. An excellent location to post all grant opportunities is on the State's homepage (WW.lY.. .tTii~<h..igi:\n_.gQy) as well as the Michigan Nonprofit Association's E-mail Funding Opportunities Bulletin (www.mnaonline.org). Expand Technical Assistance on Grant Application Process- All State agencies need to provide training and technical assistance for nonprofits that wish to apply for State grants. Simplify and Unify Nonprofit Financial Reporting Requirements- The State needs to stop redundant and burdensome reporting requirements. Each department needs to consistently provide educational information to assist nonprofits with repotting, and should streamline reporting requirements to ensure coordination with federal and local requirements. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Call To Order The meeting was called to order by the Chair, E. Blews at 2:15 p.m. E. Blews asked everyone to introduce themselves and thanked them for attending the meeting. 2. Approval of the Minutes of the December 11, 2002 Meeting A motion was made by D. Algra to approve the minutes of the December 11, 2002 meeting as presented and seconded by J. Moore. Motion can·ied. 3. MNA Board ofTtUstees Nomination Recommendation Sr. Kostielney reported on the search for a representative from the environmental field and noted that the Nominating Committee had targeted the environment category after reviewing the demographic information presented during the nominating process. Sr. Kostielney reviewed information received from the Michigan Environmental Council. A discussion followed and it was recommended that Tom Bailey, Executive Director of the Little Traverse Conservancy, a program dedicated to the preservation of land and environmental education, be contacted about potential Board membership before the June 24 Board of TtUstees meeting. R. Collier will provide Sr. Kostielney with the contact information. 4. MNA Detroit Office D. Swenson distributed a proposal summary for the Michigan Nonprofit Association Metropolitan Detroit Office, which is a goal identified in the MNA Strategic Plan. S. Singh noted that over 40% ofMNA membership is located in the Detroit area. D. Swenson said that there are over 13,000 nonprofits in the Detroit area. The proposed three-year pilot program budget will suppott the staffing and establishment of a �metropolitan Detroit MNA office. Matching funds requested from the HudsonWebber Foundation will be requested from Detroit area foundations, including the Kresge Foundation. Additional revenue for site activities will be provided through fees paid by organizations participating in training and technical assistance activities. MNA hopes to gather the interest of other nonprofits, to get them involved and potentially join MNA membership. A metropolitan Detroit MNA site office advisory committee will be established to assist in focusing the membership, training and technical assistance activities to be provided from this site. The Advisory Committee will consist of 15 representatives from southeast Michigan nonprofit organizations. S. Singh noted that MNA will probably need to be co-located with an existing organization in Detroit. MNA will not statt this project until seed funding is secured. D. Swenson also noted that he and E. Skene are working with The Joyce Foundation to develop regional policy councils in Calhoun, Genesee and hopefully, in the Detroit area as well. 5. Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute S. Singh said that MNA has been focused on the leadership program and which has been the most planned program MNA has undettaken. He distributed a copy of the Business Plan for the Executive Committee to pass around and review. The Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute has four areas: 1. Emerging Leaders · 2. Emerging Nonprofit Executives 3. Seasoned Executives 4. Building the Capacity of Organizations a. Board Training b. F inancials c. Liabilities d. Best Practices A request has been made to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for $1 million to fund the Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute. M. Corbin noted that R. L. Schultheiss has been the leader in constmcting the Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute. He reported that Emerging Leaders are holding its second class with 19 participants who are very eager and very talented. Mentoring is a huge part of the program. The first year of the program was selffunded by MNA and the second year is being funded by the DTE Energy Foundation. S. Singh thanked all of the MNA Board ofTmstees who had agreed to be mentors. 2 �A question was raised if the Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute could become a certificate program? At this time, MNA has not received a fotmal endorsement from a university. C. Bloodworth said that organizations and Boards need to understand the importance of professional development for staff. M. Corbin stated that each Institute participant must be sponsored by their organization. The individual can pay for their own training, but they must have the commitment from the organization they work for to attend the two-day sessions and other activities, such as Nonprofit Day and Grantmakers-Grantseekers. · 6. MNA Budget FY 2003-2004 S. Singh said the budget being distributed today will not be the final budget, but is a draft that the Executive Committee can review. The Finance Committee will review the budget next week. S. Singh said it will be a challenging year. GrantmakersGrantseekers 2003 was a successful conference but sponsorship came in at $20,000 less than the year before. Due to the economy, MNA's long term sponsors didn't have the money to give or they scaled back on giving. There is a potential that this will put MNA at a small deficit at the end of the year. All end of the year expenses are being reviewed. It has been a very difficult year for MNA. P. Casale distributed a copy of the proposed Revenue/Expense Summary for the 2003-2004 MNA Budget. She reviewed each revenue line item noting that the . General Contributions line item last year had been moved to the Grants and Contracts area. This year, Strategic Fund contributions from individuals will be recorded under General Contributions. A question was raised as to whether membership dues should be increased. S. Singh said that he will ask the Membership Committee to review this area. P. Casale noted that Miscellaneous Income has been eliminated as this information will be recorded in specific areas. · P. Casale next reviewed each expense item. She noted that that one Full Time Equivalent (FTE) had been built into Salaries for a MPPI Assistant Director and that other staff changes are reflected under contracted services. The Printing/Publishing line item had significantly increased as MNA distributes more infmmation to MNA members. The Finance Committee will bring a finalized budget to the Board of Ttustees meeting June 24. 3 �7. Public Policy- Position Statement- Language Update R. Collier reviewed the revised language on the Position Statement as follows: The Michigan Nonprofit Association urges achievement of sufficient state and federal revenue bases to mitigate hannful budget reductions in the areas of arts; k-12 education; higher education; environment and natural resources; and health and human services, and support reasonable growth over time. A motion to accept the above language was made by D. Mikula and seconded by M. Flanagan. Motion canied. R. Collier further noted that the Position Statement recommends that if the Executive Committee gives support to the above statement then staff proposed inviting to an expert to speak on these topics, such as, Tom Clay, Citizens Research Council of Michigan, to the next Board meeting to review the pros and cons of these suggestions. 8. Performance Review The Perfotmance Review of the President and CEO was perf01med in Executive Session - all other staff were excused from the meeting. 9.

By creating a $20 million endowment, through private and community foundation contributions, as well as a $10 million challenge from the state of Michigan, CMA 's mission will be forwarded into perpetuity. Since its inception in 2000, CMA has housed two long standing and successful programs: Michigan Campus Compact {MCC) and Volunteer Centers of Michigan {VCM). These two programs were an obvious fit into the partnership of CMA, based on their own missions and visions. Through the leadership of CmmectMichigan Alliance, these programs have accomplished the following over the past year: Michigan Campus Compact: Michigan Campus Compact promotes the education and commitment of Michigan college students to be engaged citizens, through creating and expanding academic, co-curricular and campus-wide opportunities for community service, service-learning and civic engagement. Through their partnership with the ConnectMichigan Alliance, MCC has been able to advance this tnission by providing grant opportunities to students, faculty and staff at their thirty-four member campuses throughout the state of Michigan. Additionally, MCC has joined forces with other state Compacts to form the Midwest Collaboration (MWC). The MWC is currently involved in the "Raise Your Voice Campaign: Student Action for Change". The disengagement of America's youth has serious in1plications for their ability to address public issues for the future of democratic politics. Increasing student civic engagement is at the core of Campus Compact's tnission, as well as the mission of CMA, which focuses on "the civic purpose of higher education." Through tins initiative, Miclngan Campus Compact will call upon the talents and energies of students to participate in the renewal of American democracy. The goals of the campaign are: Increase student involvement in public life; Highlight and document student civic engagement activities; and Empower students while making civic engagement central to student learning. MCC, with CMA partner the Michigan Community Service Connnission, has co-sponsored the Institute on · Academic Service Learning each winter at a member campus. This year's institute is scheduled for February 13-14 at Central Michigan University. Last year's Institute was a great success. Faculty and Staff from around the state and country attended, with over 300 persons leaming from the programs and events. Attendance rises every year. Two keynote speakers, Dr. Barbara Holland and Dr. Jinl Kilsmeier, kept the group challenged and engaged. MCC offers a Service Leaming Camp at the heginning of the academic calendar, for all students, and Service Advisors, of the MCC member campuses. On September 27-29, 2002, Miclngan Campus Compact {MCC) held their ammal Service Leadership Camp at Camp Matntou-Lin in Middleville, MI. This camp allowed 112 college students and advisors from 18 member campuses to come together to participate in plamnng and learning about community service, service-learning and civic engagement as a part of fueir education, and how they can take their experiences back to their campus and put them into action. Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) ammally hosts the 2Y,-day training for teams of college students and their advisors from across the state who are interested in community service and service-learning in higher education. The MCC Service Leadership Camp: Provides an environment and opportunity for team building among campus teams; Encourages informal networking and coalition building among those with a common interest in community service on their campus and across the state; Assists teams in meeting their specific needs during "team time". This time can be used for creating an action plan for the year to come, program plamllng, organizational development, and more; Explores important components of service/service-learning, civic responsibility and leadership through interactive workshop sessions. Highlights of tins year's Service Leadership Camp included keynote presentations from Daniel Caron on "Original �Play" and Johnnie Tuite! of the Alternatives in Motion organization on "Handicapitolism: The Power of Human Spirit". Students also participated in content session including Leading Lives of Commitment, Student Advocacy, and Fzmdraising Through Creative Thinking. Additionally, MCC is a sponsor of colloquiums and forums throughout the year on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. MCC also sponsors many annual awards for faculty and staff, as well as students, on their member campuses. The Faculty Staff Service Learning Awards are held each year in conjwtction with the Institute on Academic ServiceLearning. In addition, MCC holds the Outstanding Student Service Awards in the spring of each year. Recently, MCC was awarded a grant to implement the Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter Campus Community Partnership Award in the state of Michigan. Tllis award will highlight the importance of long lasting, dynanlic campus community collaborations and will carry a cash award to both the campus and community partner. MCC is one of only two grants given this year and, along with Minnesota and Massachusetts, will pioneer the award outside of Georgia. Volunteer Centers of Michigan The nlission of VCM is to strengthen existing volunteer centers, to provide leadership in developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerism statewide. Through their partnership with CMA, VCM has been able to provide their 34 member Volunteer Centers with support that is uwnatched in the state. VCM has been instrumental in providing advocacy training and guidance to their membersllip. This allowed the VCM member Centers to remain involved in the advocacy of federal funding of the Volunteer Center National Network through appropriations under the Citizen Service Act. Issues closer to home were determined by the membersllip to be of highest priority for public education and advocacy efforts. These opportutlities allowed VCM to construct legislative priorities as follows: I. Support, protect and expand Miclligan's Volunteer Investment Grants. 2. Advocate federal reauthorization process wtder Citizen Service Act of2002- including first-time appropriation to Volunteer Centers National Network. 3. Generate operating dollars from local and state levels. 4. Create tax incentives for corporate and individual volunteers. 5. Increase tax incentives (tax credits) for donations to l!!l_501(c) (3)'s. Additionally, VCM is sponsoring a statewide program involving all member Volunteer Centers (34) in recognizing lligh school graduates who volunteer a significant number of cotwnunity service hours during the course of their high school career. As far as we can tell, this is the only such statewide program in the country. Students will complete and document 400 hours of non-paid service that meet recogtlized community needs, mtder the auspices of a nonprofit organization, goverwnent programs, community group or school. The following types of activities would quality, and would be certified by the local Volunteer Center: • Direct Service, such as river clean up, tutoring, spending time with a nursing home resident • Indirect Service, such as computer data entry, fundraising, food collection, board or cownlittee work for a nonprofit • Civic Engagement, advocacy or community organizing, such as beautification, mural painting, cotwnunity surveys Students will periodically complete an evaluation form and reflective sunmtary of their experience that will build in a learning piece as well as an outcome measurement component during their years of volunteer service. Recognition will take place at the high school honors (or awards) event. The student will receive: • A medallion of distinction, to be worn at commencement exercises • A Certificate of Distinction for Commitment to Service from the community Volunteer Center • Community-wide recognition by the Volunteer Center during National Volunteer Week Pilot Program: In order to test the program, seven Volunteer Centers are piloting this statewide program during the 2002-2003 school year. The number of hours is reduced proportionately during this first year for graduating seniors. The pilot program will involve Vohmteer Centers from Michigan's upper petlinsula, and northem, nlid- and southemlower peninsula. These Centers each will work with at least one high school during the pilot year. Long-tetm Goal: Within five years, all VCM member Volunteer Centers will be working with 75% of the high schools in their catchments area. �VCM has collaborated with Michigan Association of United Ways (MAUW) to detennine what the factors are that contribute to a strong United Way Volunteer Center. About half of Michigan's Volunteer Centers are United Way programs. While independent 501(c) (3) Volunteer Centers have their own challenges to confront, those that are programs internal to other agencies have different issues to consider. MAUW and VCM have hosted a series of conference calls and meetings among the United Way directors and the affiliate Volunteer Center directors of five Michigan United Ways. They explored structure, relationships, community image and impact, in an effort to assist other con111lunities to emulate those characteristics that foster success. This information will be especially useful to start-up United Way Volunteer Centers. Finally, VCM's member Centers have provided national leadership to the Volunteerism effort. VCM is concluding our work in compiling a guidebook to establishing and maintaining a Volunteer Center State or Regional Association. The VCM Director and Aaron Cantrell (Kalamazoo) were speakers for the Illinois Association of Volunteer Centers aruma! training event. The VCM Director and Nonie Bretman (VCNNC Board and CMA Board) presented at the Northem Ohio Regional Conference on Volmtteering. Kathy Rossow (POLF United Network Task Force and CMA Board) was instrumental in introducing Title III of the Citizens Service Act to Congressional members in March. Dale Weighill's (VCM Executive Committee and CMA Board) advocacy strategy was so successful that a letter he authored has become the template for education efforts by POLF. Other CMA Programs: As CMA concludes the $20 million fundraising campaign on June 1, 2003, we move forward in promoting the concept of a lifelong ethic ofservice. CMA has hired a program coordinator who currently leads the Michigan's Pr01nise/America's Promise statewide effort. Since this program was transferred to CMA from the Michigan Community Service Commission in the Fall of2002, there has been much contact with the 26 Communities of Promise (COPs). Site visits are platmed for all26 by the Spring of2003. This program is, again, a natural fit to with CMA, and it will flourish under its wing. ) Additionally, CMA is in discussions with other youth philanthropy and civic oriented programs, to provide these service on a statewide level, to breakdown the silos that have been created at all levels ofvolunteerism and engagement. Specifically, the stakeholders of the Michigan Civics Summit have convened in a meeting sponsored by the CotmectMichigan Alliance, determined the next logical step in the continuation and expansion of that program, as well as to discuss the following: 1. 2. 3. Goals, Purpose, Mission and Vision Constituency Served Plans for the Future Because funds raised for the C01mectMichigan Alliance are matched one to one by the state of Michigan, and placed in endowment at the Capital Region Community Foundation, CMA has the potential to sustain itself indefinitely. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
