Rodriguez Algra, Executive Director Date: August 29, 2011 Re: VCM Quarterly Report Below you will find some key highlights of our work this past quarter. Volunteer Generation Fund Grantee Training Resources: In an effort to provide relevant volunteer management training information to Volunteer Generation Fund Grantees, VCM and consultant Sandra Miller have created several new resources related to the following topics. Each topic includes a train-the-trainer toolkit including a PowerPoint, trainer notes, evaluation form, reporting form and additional resources. • Project Planning: http://mivolunteers.org/projectcalendars.aspx • Risk Assessment: http://mivolunteers.org/riskmanagement.aspx • Volunteer Management (Growing Your Volunteer Program): http://mivolunteers.org/volunteermanagement.aspx VCM will continue to update and add new resources, linking from the Volunteer Generation Fund grantee webpage (http://mivolunteers.org/vgf.aspx). VCM intends to post recorded webinars on each topic, as well. HandsOn Connect Volunteer Management Technology Several communities in Michigan are in the process of deploying HandsOn Connect, a groundbreaking volunteer management technology. Unlike previous volunteer management systems, this new platform is located “in the clouds,” allowing all information to be stored on the internet. VCM and the Michigan Community Service Commission are working together to have 14 Michigan communities operating with HandsOn Connect by early 2012. The following centers are already live with the new system. Volunteer Centers Live with HandsOn Connect VOLUNTEER Lenawee! HandsOn Battle Creek United Way of Jackson County Volunteer Center Volunteer Northwest Michigan Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan Counties Covered Lenawee Calhoun Jackson Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska , Leelanau Cass, Berrien, Van Buren �HandsOn Connect Statewide Volunteer Portal HandsOn Connect has opened the door for a new and exciting opportunity for the entire state of Michigan. This fall, the Michigan Community Service Commission and Volunteer Centers of Michigan will launch the first phase of a statewide volunteer portal. This will be a one stop access point for anyone to find volunteer opportunities in Michigan. The volunteer portal will include a widget embedded on the VCM and MCSC websites, with search results being housed at www.volunteermichigan.org. The portal will serve as the entry point for volunteers to search for projects from all communities using HandsOn Connect. Here volunteers can review search results at the state level, click through to view project details, and sign up for specific projects at the local level. It will allow aggregated data feeds from other technology platforms, including All For Good, the national volunteer search engine used by Serve.gov. HandsOn Connect will provide robust reporting and analytics that can be collected locally, as well as statewide. 9/11 Day of Service: Honoring Their Service with Ours In an effort to engage Michigan citizens in the 9/11 Tribute Movement, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and the Michigan Community Service Commission have created a volunteer pledge card to honor troops, veterans and military families. The cards encourage volunteers to pay tribute by committing to a specific number of volunteer hours throughout the calendar year. Pledge cards will be distributed during tribute events and service projects, such as community clean-ups, homeless veteran care package collections, college volunteer fairs, food drives, construction builds, peace tribute walks and community breakfasts. Additionally, the 9/11 Day pledge cards will be used in press releases and at press conferences, challenging residents to pledge 10 hours of service in honor of the 10th Anniversary of 9/11. Collecting contact information and service commitments makes it easy to follow up and engage new volunteers in future projects. Participating centers include: • Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo • HandsOn Battle Creek • Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan • VOLUNTEER Lenawee! • United Way of Jackson County • Volunteer Action Center of St. Clair County • Heart of West Michigan United Way • Volunteer Northwest Michigan National Conference on Volunteering and Service This summer several VCM and MNA employees attended the National Conference on Volunteering and Service. In addition to gathering national resources, our staff members contributed to the conference by presenting a workshop session in the “Leveraging Partnerships” category. Below you can see the session description: Building a Statewide Community of Service - Shannon Zoet, Ashley Gulker, Rachel Klegon Interested in developing or strengthening partnerships with higher education institutions and volunteer connector agencies? Come learn about the Michigan model involving collaborative efforts among Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Nonprofit Association. This unique perspective will help you identify your own strategic advantages and discover the intersection where state opportunities, national service and local change come together. �VCM VISTA Updates The VCM*VISTA program currently has three VISTA members serving in Volunteer Centers throughout the state and one VISTA Leader who is housed at MNA’s Detroit office. During the past quarter, the VCM*VISTA members made huge strides in building capacity for their Volunteer Centers to meet community needs and develop poverty alleviation initiatives: • Ben Crockett who is serving at Char-Em United Way has organized a new Literacy Corps program by facilitating a partnership with the local Intermediate School District. This program will promote reading and learning skills with area children. The focus will be on preschool and elementary age students. In addition, Ben is also responsible for securing a Google Grant, an in-kind donation program awarding up to $10,000 per month in AdWords advertising. This has increased the ability of volunteers and those in need to access the programs and services of Char-Em United Way and its funded partners. • Anthony Sacco, who is serving with Volunteer Lenawee!, has been incredibly active in the community, recruiting volunteers of every demographic and raising awareness about poverty. In the last quarter, Anthony coordinated 3 poverty awareness events reaching 59 people, held 2 volunteer management trainings, and engaged 127 new volunteers who served a total of 1,363 hours of service. Anthony also coordinated a service learning project for 30 students of the Lenawee Intermediate School District’s Careers in Early Childhood class which featured partnerships with the City of Adrian Parks and Recreation Department, Lenawee Emergency and Affordable Housing Corporation, and Heidi Cagle of the LISD. • Teresa Zbiciak, who is serving at the Heart of West Michigan United Way Volunteer Center, has made significant in-roads to enhancing the capacity of the organization to recruit and utilize volunteers in skills-based projects by leveraging existing partnerships between the volunteer center and corporate partners to match retirees with meaningful service opportunities. Teresa has also educated local nonprofits on how best to engage highly skilled volunteers in one-day service projects in preparation for the upcoming Day of Caring event. • Matthew Reaume, AmeriCorps VISTA Leader serving with Volunteer Centers of Michigan has provided one-on-one support to each VISTA as well as developed training content and resources to the VISTA cohort. In addition, Matthew has facilitated partnerships between the United Way of Southeast Michigan George Romney Volunteer Center and local area nonprofits in an effort to strengthen and expand volunteer management efforts in the city of Detroit through his participation in coordinating and securing funding for a 9/11 service project. VCM*VISTA Grant Award Volunteer Centers of Michigan was awarded a grant through the HandsOn Network to support 5 AmeriCorps VISTA members for the 2011-2012 grant year. Host sites will be located in: Detroit (x2), Port Huron, Flint and Niles. The Volunteer Centers of Michigan was also awarded 5 slots from the Corporation for National and Community Service to host VISTA members in the following locations: Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Petoskey, Kalamazoo and Sault St. Marie. VISTA members are being recruited to begin their year of service in November. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Position Statement The Board of Directors of the Michigan Nonprofit Association places a high priority on making our nation’s democracy works for everyone. When the processes of representative government work well, everyone has a voice on the issues that affect their lives. Nonprofits, working strategically and together, have the strength and expertise to engage and actively participate in the democratic process. Therefore, the Michigan Nonprofit Association actively supports election laws and policies that make voting fair and accessible for all citizens. Position Statement SB 0107 Michigan Nonprofit Association is concerned that tax law clearly ensures that charitable tax exempt organizations and their expenditures are treated consistently. In addition, MNA seeks to ensure that nonprofits have sufficient resources to meet their missions. MNA supports amending the language of the General Sales Tax Act – SB 0107 – to clarify that products purchased by 501(c)3 and 501(c)4 organizations to carry out fundraising activities would be exempt from sales tax thereby ensuring that those dollars could be used to fulfill their charitable missions. Statement on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction The Board of the Michigan Nonprofit Association believes that the Michigan nonprofit sector and the people it serves have an unique opportunity to engage members of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction about the diverse roles nonprofits play in American life. MNA believes that a successful deficit reduction plan considers smart spending cuts, sustainable growth initiatives, and reasonable revenue realignment. We hope the members of the Committee will approach their responsibilities with an open mind and a holistic approach that puts the country’s future ahead of partisan politics and ideology. MNA urges the Committee to be open to the input of citizens and organizations. We also believe the nonprofit sector must proactively engage members of the Committee to help inform their decision-making. �Discussion Items A. Nonprofit Day MNA is very excited about Nonprofit Day this year. The theme is “Building Opportunities in Challenging Times.” We are excited to announce our three key note speakers: Dan Gilmartin, CEO and President of the Michigan Municipal League, George Pillsbury, the founder and director of Nonprofit Vote, and Maya Enista, CEO of Mobilize.org. Also, the Center for Michigan will be launching its newest Community Conversation on education at Nonprofit Day. The agenda is set and registration is open. Please find the agenda attached. B. Michigan Tax Reform Update Governor Snyder indicated that the next agenda item for tax reform legislation is changes to the Personal Property Tax. He has indicated that Lt. Governor Calley will lead this effort. This will be one of the priorities for the Legislature when they return from their August recess. Tax reform legislation was passed by both the Senate and House on May 12th, sending it to Governor Rick Snyder for his signature. The bill eliminates the charitable tax credit, replaces the Michigan Business Tax with a 6 percent corporate income tax, and taxes pensions. The elimination of the charitable tax credits will reduce the ability of Michigan’s nonprofit sector to serve those most in need. We will continue to work with the legislature to introduce an amendment to this legislation. In more positive news, included in the same tax legislation referenced above, Michigan’s Earned Income Tax Credit will not be eliminated. Instead, filers will receive a 6 percent match of the federal EITC, rather than the 20 percent match as the credit stands now. While this is a reduction, this legislation preserves the spirit of the EITC. The original legislation zeroed out the credit, later to be changed to a $25 per child tax credit. The 6 percent state EITC will still help low-income families. C. Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction The Committee is still in the organization process. The committee members are: Senate members Patty Murray, Washington, Co-Chair Max Baucus, Montana John Kerry, Massachusetts Jon Kyl, Arizona Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania Rob Portman, Ohio House members Jim Clyburn, South Carolina Xavier Becerra, California Chris Van Hollen, Maryland Jeb Hensarling, Texas, Co-Chair Dave Camp, Michigan Fred Upton, Michigan D. National Service Funding The $2 trillion deficit packaged crafted to approve the debt ceiling calls for significant cuts in domestic spending which will likely target the Corporation for National and Community Service. On �August 10th, national service champions from across the country engaged in the Save Service District Day campaign to ensure Congress understands the value of the national service programs. Save Service also organized a Hill Lobby Day on September 15th. E. Nonprofit Caucus Update The Leadership of the Nonprofit Caucus was introduced to the MNA Government Reform Agenda with specific recommendations for legislation for the current session (see attachment B). The Caucus will take up the agenda and discuss their priorities with leadership in the House and Senate. The co-chairs are as follows: Senate Rebekah Warren (D) Tupac Hunter (D) Mark Jansen (R) John Proos (R) House Rashida Tlaib (D) Stacy Erwin Oakes (D) Amanda Price (R) Wayne Schmidt (R) State and Federal Updates A. State Updates Census Report A report (see Attachment C) is completed that highlighting all of the great work that nonprofits did to turn out the count last year for the 2010 Census. Highlights include: - Over 1,500 volunteers donated over 10,000 hours of service to ensure all Michiganders were counted; - 38 organizations received a total of $341,000 in min-grants for their grassroots efforts to increase Census mail returns; and - One of the major lessons learned was that the more lead-time to plan, the more nonprofits can achieve to increase mail-in returns. Rachid Elabed from ACCESS will present on the work they did as part of Census 2010: Nonprofits Count coalition. Redistricting June proved to the month of redistricting. The House and Senate held four hearings – two in each chamber – on the proposed maps. The Michigan Redistricting Collaborative (MRC) testified at all four hearings urging the legislature to give the public more time to study and provide feedback on the maps. Besides the MRC, six partner organizations testified supporting our position of giving the public more time to look at and comment on the proposed districts. Our call for a more transparent process was echoed by members of the media, especially when it came to the Congressional map. Many of these articles can be found on the MRC website, www.drawthelinemichigan.org �Governor Snyder signed the new maps for the Michigan Legislature and Congress into law on August 9th. There will be a presentation from APIA Vote-Michigan by their Public Policy Chair, Anika Fassia, a MRC partner at the meeting. CASH ASSISTANCE CASES CONTINUE STEADY DECLINE (Gongwer News) The number of people receiving cash assistance through the Family Independence Program continued its steady decline in July, but all other areas of support saw increases, according to a report from the Department of Human Services. There were 221,102 receiving cash support through the program in July, down from a high of 235,784 last November. That number has declined every month since.

MELTON RESIGNING TO LEAD RHEE GROUP LOBBYING EFFORTS (Gongwer News) The frustrations of serving in the minority, where Rep. Tim Melton was unable to set the state's education agenda anymore, made it much easier for him to be wooed away by a national education reform group. Mr. Melton (D-Auburn Hills) will resign next week (9/6/2011) to head the national lobbying efforts of StudentsFirst, led by Michelle Rhee, the former Washington, D.C., schools leader. B. Federal Updates Young Voter Engagement The national organization, Rock the Vote, recently released a report detailing the ease of voting for young voters in the United States. The scorecard measures state laws and policies in three key areas: (1) voter registration, (2) casting a ballot and (3) young voter preparation. The 21-point scale evaluates each state’s implementation of policies that increase access to the political process. Michigan is in the bottom third, tied for 38th with Hawaii. The full scorecard is Attachment D. Debt Ceiling Deal Enacted: What It Means to Nonprofits (National Council of Nonprofits) Here are a few observations to provide some perspective to the coming debates:  Spending cuts: As the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Christian Science Monitor report, governments at the state and local levels already are bracing for significantly �  reduced funding, which, in turn, limits their ability to work with nonprofits to provide services on behalf of governments in communities throughout the country. Entitlement Reforms: Since policymakers generally assume nonprofits will fill in the gaps the policymakers create, many of the reforms to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are likely to increase demand for services and reduce funding. Proposals on the table range from reducing eligibility and reimbursement rates, to delaying and taxing benefits. Tax Reforms: There is broad agreement that the tax code is too complicated and unfair, but no consensus exists on whether reforms should be designed primarily to simplify the law and reduce tax rates, or to generate increased revenues to reduce the deficit. Lowering the individual tax rates from the current top rate of 36 percent to 25 percent,as discussed in the House, is expected also to lower the incentive for giving, as is the President’s proposal to limit the value of charitable and other itemized deductions. Affordable Care Act Federal officials have created a hybrid, state-federal solution to states interested in running the health insurance exchanges called for in the federal health care reform law, but still would like some involvement from Uncle Sam, state legislators learned today. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are still working out the details, but a central feature of the state-federal partnership would be a federal "hub" to create efficiencies. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A warm round of applause followed to welcome Leon. Next, Kyle welcomed the members of the Implementation Team who presented the MNA Strategic Plan to the board –Rachel Klegon, Bill Gesaman, Shannon Zoet, Kari Sederburg and Renee Zientek. Also, Kyle thanked the facilitators, Christina Pitts and Lynne Aldrich for their work in finalizing the plan, along with the MNA Board members and all of the MNA staff for the input they provided. The Implementation Team members presented the following information regarding the proposed MNA Strategic Plan: Vision Statement Michigan’s nonprofit sector will be a vital leader in building and sustaining thriving communities. Mission Statement Michigan Nonprofit Association serves nonprofits to advance their missions. Strategic Priorities 1. MNA will be the recognized and respected voice of Michigan’s nonprofit sector. 2. MNA will provide trusted leadership that assists Michigan’s nonprofit sector in adopting effective advocacy and civic engagement strategies. 3. MNA will serve Michigan’s nonprofit sector by providing resources, convening organizations and building strategic relationships. 4. MNA will be a model collaborative work place where people are valued. Values MNA values:  Collaboration – demonstrating a commitment to building and sustaining partnerships with business, government and nonprofits.  Diversity & Inclusion – embracing, respecting and celebrating diverse identities, abilities, cultures and points of view to advance our organization and the larger nonprofit sector.  Excellence -- demonstrating a strong commitment to innovation, quality, and the need for high level expertise.  Integrity – practicing accountability, honesty, responsibility, dependability and trust in all of MNA.  Leadership – fostering an environment where innovative and bold service to others can grow. 2 �Identity Statement MNA serves nonprofits to advance their missions. We do this by increasing the capacity of nonprofits in Michigan with emphasis on our competitive advantages of Civic Engagement (Human Capital) and Public Policy (Collective Voice) through:     Engaging the collective voice of nonprofits (through public policy, advocacy) Leveraging the power of human capital (by supporting civic engagement throughout the continuum of life in a community) Fostering collaboration and effective practices (among networks and local resources) Cultivating and sharing resources and information (to explain, promote and advance the work of the sector) We are sustainable by ensuring a sufficient and diverse funding pool that includes grants, fees and contracted services, dues and non-dues revenue, individual giving and endowment proceeds. Strategy Screen MNA’s strategies must:       Focus on work that is mission related (How does this transform nonprofits-increase capacity?) Demonstrate or assess the availability of resources (Can we afford it/can we pay for it?) Be relevant to the needs of nonprofits including higher education institutions, volunteer centers and K-12 schools involved in The League (Will nonprofits/members benefit or need it? And how deep will MNA’s involvement be-dependent on work) Lead with our competitive advantage (Are we leveraging our civic engagement and public policy expertise?) Have significant impact (Will we be able to demonstrate a short-term or long-term difference?) Recognizes new and emerging trends and political realities (Is the strategy relevant to today and the future? Is it something we have to do?) Big Questions  How will MNA know that it is effective in utilizing its core functions and competitive advantages to transform Michigan nonprofits as they face current and future challenges?  How does MNA develop a consistent and sustainable funding strategy aligned with our organizational structure and results in a balanced budget by end of FY 2012? David Eisler congratulated and thanked the staff and board for their collaborative work. A warm round of applause followed. A motion to accept the Strategic Plan, which includes the Mission, Vision and Values, was made by David Price and seconded by Lorna Utley. This motion passed unanimously by acclamation. 3 �MNA Finance Committee Report David Seaman reported that the MNA Finance Committee met and reviewed the Financial Statement for month ending March 31, 2011 and the MNA 2011-2012 fiscal year budget. David requested that MNA Director of Finance, Tina Bruce review the Financial Statement highlights. Tina reported that revenue is down and due to timing on grants we show a $31,000 deficit. If grant money is received prior to the end of the year, MNA may end the year at the breakeven point. A motion was made by David Seaman and seconded by David Price to approve the un-audited Financial Statements for month ending March 31, 2011. Motion carried. David requested that Tina provide an overview of the MNA 2011-2012 fiscal year budget. David stated that he commends Tina for her excellent work. Tina reviewed the budget and said the core assumptions for a structurally balanced budget by the end of FY 2012 are the reduction of overhead costs, changing benefits to manage costs and improve participation and conservative projections with foundation review. MNA will focus on areas for growth and realign the budget around the MNA Strategic Plan. Tina stated that the key challenges to balancing the budget are the decline in revenues, which include, the CMA Endowment payout down due to lower interest rates, federal grant programs that are ending or being eliminated, large foundations support to MNA smaller than in past years and membership rates down, due to the new database and reporting is more accurate. In addition, overhead costs have increased with benefits estimated to rise dramatically. Tina reviewed a PowerPoint presentation that showed these figures in detail and the overall plan on reducing these expenses and steps that will be taken. Kyle noted that these are difficult choices that MNA must make and stated that everywhere in the sector organizations are facing these same decisions. A motion was made by David Seaman and seconded by David Price that the MNA Board of Directors approve the 2011-2012 fiscal year budget and related employee health benefits modification. Motion carried. In addition, David reported that due to the changes in the MNA benefits, MNA will need a resolution to change the 401 (k) with Mutual of America and requested that. A motion was made by David Seaman and seconded by Ibraham Ahmed to support the recommendation for a resolution to change the MNA 401 (k) fund with Mutual of America. Motion carried. MNA Fund Advancement Report John Schneider provided an overview of the goals of the Nonprofit Center, and he reported that the Fund Advancement Committee met and recommends to the MNA Executive Committee that MNA proceed with a campaign to raise the needed funds for the Nonprofit Center space, furniture needs and programming in collaboration with the other Nonprofit Center partners. 4 �A motion to support the fundraising efforts working with the Nonprofit Center partners as presented above was made by John Schneider and seconded by Sheilah Clay. Motion carried. John stated that the MNA Board of Directors has a goal of 100% participation in giving each year. For the 2010-2011 fiscal year, MNA is proud that it achieved 100% participation. And, requested that board members remember that MNA’s new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2011, and we need to begin the process of achieving 100% participation for the fiscal year 2011-2012. To help with this, a pledge form will be included in your board packet. John thanked everyone for their continued support of MNA, its affiliates and work on behalf of the nonprofit sector. Board Development Committee Kyle Caldwell reported that the Board Development Committee recommended that the MNA Executive Committee approve the nominations of the following to the MNA Board of Directors Class of 2013: 1. Association seat – Class of 2013 a. Doris Higgins, Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan (VCM replacement of Denise Hubbard) 2. At-Large seat – Class of 2013 a. Kimberly Houston-Philpot, Dow Corning Corporation Foundation A motion was made by David Price and seconded by John Schneider to accept the above recommendation by the Board Development Committee. Motion carried. MNA Public Policy Committee Kyle reported that Kari Sederburg has been appointed by the Snyder Administration to serve as the new Director of the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging. Board members congratulated Kari on her new post. A warm round of applause followed. Kari reported that there was one action item for approval, the position statement on Clarifying the Sales Tax Exemption for Fundraising Purposes which follows: Michigan Nonprofit Association is concerned that tax law clearly ensures that charitable tax exempt organizations and their expenditures are treated consistently. In addition, MNA seeks to ensure that nonprofits have sufficient resources to meet their missions. MNA supports amending the language of the General Sales Tax Act – SB 0107 – to clarify that products purchased by 501(c) 3 and 501(c) 4 organizations to carry out fundraising activities would be exempt from sales tax thereby ensuring that those dollars could be used to fulfill their charitable missions. A motion was made by David Seaman and seconded by David Price to support the above position statement. Motion carried. 5 �Kari gave an update on the Michigan Tax Reforms and reported that the tax reform legislation was passed by both the Senate and House on May 12th, sending it to Governor Rick Snyder for his signature. The bill eliminates the charitable tax credit, replaces the Michigan Business Tax with a 6 percent corporate income tax, and taxes pensions. MNA will continue to work with the legislature to introduce an amendment to this legislation. Kari said that in more positive news the Department of Human Services Appropriations conference committee approved $678,200 in state funding for the Michigan Community Service Commission for FY 2012, which houses important programs like AmeriCorps. This is the amount that was included in the Governor’s FY 2012 budget Next, Kari gave an update on the Nonprofit Caucus and noted that MNA has a meeting on June 14 with all eight co-chairs to discuss our legislative agenda and MNA is actively recruiting new members to the caucus. CMA Endowment Advisory Committee Report Carolyn Bloodworth said the Committee met to review and recommend approval of the $50,000 partner fund requests as follows: National Days of Service Mini-grant Program Support for Regional Convening Event/Award Support for Giving and Volunteering Day Support for a Statewide Volunteerism Campaign Allocation: $15,000 Allocation: $15,000 Allocation: $10,000 Allocation: $10,000 In addition, Rene Zientek reported that after the Ad Hoc Committee met in October 2010. As a result of that meeting and information provided, staff of the partner organizations met to design a proposed Fund Allocation Guidelines document, included in the packet, to guide current and future leaders of the Michigan Nonprofit Association in the allocation of the CMA Endowment proceeds. The process set forth in this document includes a brief history of the endowment, a review process that affirmed the donor intent for the endowment proceeds, and specific guidance for FY 20112014. A motion to accept the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment 2011-2012 Partner Fund Request and the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Fund Allocation Guidelines was made by Carolyn Bloodworth and seconded by David Price. Motion carried. David Eisler thanked the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment Committee for their work and suggested that each award letter should contain language stating that the award being granted is for a one-year commitment. Other Kyle said that he wanted to thank all of the staff of MNA for stepping up to the challenge during the past year. Kudos to everyone. A warm round of applause followed. 6 �Adjourned to Executive Session A motion to adjourn the meeting and retire to Executive Session was made by David Price and seconded by Carolyn Bloodworth.

MNA will provide trusted leadership that assists Michigan's nonprofit sector in adopting effective advocacy and civic engagement strategies. MNA will serve Michigan's nonprofit sector by providing resources, convening organizations and building strategic relationships. MNA will be a model collaborative work place where people are valued. Policy Policy makers at the state and federal levels have been actively engaged in policy changes that could profoundly impact the nonprofit sector. At the state level, the first wave of the Snyder Administration's tax reforms will be implemented this December with the elimination of the Michigan Charitable Tax Credits. The second wave of reforms will include the elimination of the Personal Property Tax. In addition, the Legislature and Governor have adopted a life-time cap of certain public assistance resources. At the federal level, the President's Jobs Bill calls for the cap on charitable deductions. MNA staff have been engaged with the Snyder Administration, Michigan Legislature, Congress and the White House to help them understand the impact of these changes on local communities. Our efforts have also focused on the support of National Service and appropriations for the Corporation for National and Community Service. Several are expressing concern for the $1 billion in federal funds that support the varying components of National Service including AmeriCorps, RSVP, Senior Companions, Foster Grandparents, and the zeroed out Learn and Serve program. MNA will be joining in the Save Service activities and the national service Hill Day on September 15th. �The Nonprofit Center at the Armory MNA has been working with a number of local and statewide nonprofit organizations about developing a partnership to support nonprofits in the area and across the state. Today, MNA and the Capital Area United Way, Michigan Association of United Ways, Capital Region Community Foundation, and the Food Bank Council of Michigan have formed the Nonprofit Center Collaborative (Nonprofit Center). The Nonprofit Center represents the collaborative efforts of the nonprofits involved, as well as, the shared services that will be provided to the partners and the greater nonprofit community. The Nonprofit Center will be housed at the Marshall Street Armory. According to the owner, Pat Gillespie, the plan remains on track for site completion by October, 2011 and clearance to move into the Armory by November, 2011. Work is completed on the third floor (offices for the Capital Region Community Foundation), and we are in the final stages of securing a fifth sublease with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Michigan Capital Region. In addition, the Gillespie Group has secured an additional nonprofit tenant, the Opportunity Fund. These new tenants, along with the relocation of the Gillespie Group to the Armory, leave less than 2,000 square feet available for lease. The Fund Development Committee Report will highlight the progress of the Nonprofit Center campaign. To date, we have commitments from the MASCO Foundation, Michigan Health and Hospital Association, and Clark Hill LLP. Further, we have been invited to submit proposals for support from the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation and the Consumers Energy Foundation. �Local media coverage of the renovation of the Armory and the nonprofit tenants is picking up and by all measures has been quite positive. The Lansing State Journal featured the Armory on the cover of its September 6, 2011 issue. This was followed up by a LSJ opinion column on September 9, 2011 calling the Armory a significant economic development initiative for Lansing. New Talent Christina Kuo is MNA's new Senior Director of Public Policy and Public Affairs. Christina most recently served as the Executive Director of Common Cause Michigan and was a vital partner in our Michigan Redistricting Collaborative.

Dr. Ed Blews, President, Association of Independent Colleges & Universities of Michigan �Michigan was one of only a handful of states that increased its mail-in rates from the previous census, from 69 percent in 2000 to 78 percent in 2010. The nonprofit community played a crucial and lead role in raising these numbers. The following map shows the increase of response rates in areas targeted by the Nonprofits Count! Campaign, including: Calhoun, Genesee, Jackson, Kalamazoo and Kent. �Change in Census Questionnaire Mail Response Rate, 2000-2010 Background Genesee County by Minor Civil Division Based on successful nonpartisan voter engagement efforts in 2008, Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) launched the Michigan Nonprofit Complete Count Committee to engage nonprofits in ensuring Percentage Point Change a complete count for the 2010 Census. Thirty-one organizations joined the committee to coordinate their engagement efforts in the 2010 Census – creating the Nonprofits Count! Campaign.-11% One -of the -5% first in the nation, the campaign was a statewide effort to increase participation in the 2010 Census -4.99% - 0%in communities that were at significant risk of being undercounted. 0.01% - 5% 5.01% - 10% 10.01% - 43% Why Nonprofits? Although the Federal government launched a signficant outreach campaign, the nonprofit community was ideally suited to encourage hardto-count communities to mail in their forms. Nonprofits have an established trust in their communities through their services and advocacy efforts. They speak the community’s language and they lack the stigma that is often attached to government workers resulting in a larger community impact. Lessons Learned People Power – Volunteers were crucial to the success of the Nonprofits Count! Campaign. Across the state, 1,500 volunteers donated more than 10,000 hours of service to supporting campaign efforts. Estimating the value of volunteer time at $20.85 per hour, these 1,500 volunteers contributed more than $200,000 to the campaign. Volunteers helped most frequently with canvassing, phone banking and community events.

By creating a menu of options, nonprofits were able to tailor their activities to best suit the needs of their communities. In addition to trainings on outreach tactics and materials on why it is important to be counted, nonprofits were provided with a media relations toolkit that included talking points, media relations tips, and sample press releases. Support Local Nonprofits/Encourage Field Tactics – More than $341,000 in mini-grants were awarded to 38 local nonprofits for public education, outreach, communications, special events, and mobilizing efforts specifically aimed at increasing mail returns of census forms in Michigan communities. The grantees made more �than 140,000 direct contacts with individuals through field activities including canvassing, phone banking and community events. ■■ Canvassing – Urban League of Flint, in coordination with the Genesee County Complete Count Committee, organized a citywide census canvassing day where an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 doors in hard-to-count areas were knocked on, informing residents of the importance of the Census. ■■ Phone banking – PW Community Nonprofit Housing made over 10,000 phone calls in the Brightmoor and Virginia Park neighborhoods of Detroit to encourage residents to return their census forms. ■■ Community events – Asian/Pacific Islander Vote Michigan reached more than 600 Hmong families at the Hmong Sports Tournament in the Osborne neighborhood of Detroit. Be Creative – Developing materials that utilize targeted language and images to speak to a specific audience was key to the Nonprofits Count! Campaign. The Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan created billboards, posters, flyers and advertisements in local newspapers specifically targeted to the members of the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians and the Bay Mills Indian Community living in the area to promote tribal participation in the Census. Earned and Paid Media is Your Friend – In addition to the statewide media campaign that resulted in more than 30 stories on the Nonprofits Count! Campaign, several grantees invested in paid advertisements in local media outlets. For example, the West Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce utilized its media members, print, billboards and radio as outlets to communicate with the Hispanic community about the Census. Coordinate with Government – Frequent communication with the U.S. Census Bureau and local complete count committees was important to avoid duplication of outreach efforts. Many of the members of the Nonprofit Complete Count Committee and the campaign grantees became official partners of the Census and Questionnaire Assistance Centers. Common Avenues – Members of the Nonprofit Complete Count Committee were essential in sharing information with their own members about the importance of being counted. Low cost and low capacity communication vehicles were often used by incorporating Nonprofits Count! and other census articles in organizations’ newsletters, e-mails, information sessions and workshops at conferences. Michigan Nonprofit Association included information about the Census in 19 print and electronic newsletters from July 2009 to June 2010. Early Planning is Key – Many of the campaign grantees commented that funding for the project was needed sooner to provide for proper planning and implementation of efforts to increase the census count. Grantees also stated said that local, state and federal government officials should start planning now for the 2020 Census to ensure that communities across the state are better prepared for the next count. Civic Engagement Cycle Participation in the Census is just one part of the civic engagement cycle that also includes advocacy and voter engagement. One of the hopes of Michigan Nonprofit Association is that the organizations that participated in increasing the census count will remain active in the civic engagement cycle. During focus groups with the grantees, a number of organizations commented on this idea: ■■ “This work provides a blueprint for how to organize and how to have an impact on voter engagement. It’s important to have a history of success on an advocacy campaign, and this will be the success that groups can point to.” ■■ “It helps to see how this kind of activity can advance our mission.” ■■ “The Census helped us build new relationships with government officials that will help our future advocacy efforts.” ■■ “The campaign strengthened our partnerships across the community and, because it was successful, it reinforced the need for us to work together again in the future.” Funders The campaign would not have been possible without support from the following foundations and organizations: Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, Ford Foundation, Hagedorn Foundation, Kresge Foundation, Nonprofit Voter Engagement Network (NVEN), Joyce Foundation and W.K. Kellogg Foundation. �Nonprofits Count!

Pending Legislation: SB 0107 – Senator Hunter Currently, Michigan’s sales tax law is unclear, creating confusion that raises costs and administrative burdens for nonprofits and tax collectors. This is not only harmful to nonprofits, which do not have the additional resources to pay unnecessary taxes, but also to government agencies that must organize the collection and implementation of tax policies. Further, this stifles the ability of nonprofits to effectively fundraise as they are unsure of the tax-exempt status of fundraising expenses. On the one hand, Section 4q (MCL 205.54q) exempts from taxation the sale of tangible personal property and vehicles to a nonprofit that is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) or (c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Sales qualify as tax-exempt as long as the property is not to be resold and provided that the property being purchased is used “primarily to carry out the purposes of the organization as stated in the bylaws or articles of incorporation of the exempt entity.” On the other hand, there are differing opinions among state regulators, accountants and lawmakers as to whether sales taxes should be applied to nonprofits’ fundraising expenses. This confusion could be eliminated by amending Section 4q(2). That subsection states that the exemption does not apply to “sales of tangible personal property and sales of vehicles” that are not used “primarily to carry out the purposes of the organization.” If the language “sales of tangible personal property” were eliminated, then products purchased by 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations to carry out administrative or fundraising activities would clearly be exempt from sales tax as the law appeared to intend. SB 0107 is similar to legislation that was a priority of the initial class of the Michigan Nonprofit Caucus. While the proposed solution here to the ambiguity described above is different than what was proposed on SB0107, the Michigan Nonprofit Association supports SB 0107, the amendment of the General Sales Tax Act to clarify that products purchased by 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations to carry out administrative or fundraising activities would be clearly exempt from sales tax. Help Taxpayers and Nonprofits by Simplifying Government Contracting Create a fair, simple and efficient nonprofit / government grant and contracting process Current law impact yet to be defined Revised June 23, 2011 �DRAFT No pending legislation Nonprofits of all sizes work in partnership with government at the local, state and federal levels to provide a wide array of services that communities and citizens demand. More than 60% of Michigan nonprofits contracting with government are providing human services support. These programs impact those populations that are most vulnerable. During the current difficult financial times, nonprofits are experiencing significant challenges partnering with government. According to the Urban Institute, Michigan ranks 8th worst in the nation for the most problems with government payments failing to cover the full cost of services for which governments have contracted with nonprofits. The Urban Institute also documented that Michigan ranks 8th in the nation for the most problems with governments changing the terms of contracts during the performance period, making it extremely difficult for nonprofits to manage their operations. Other challenges with government contracts in Michigan include inefficient complexities required for reporting on contracts/grants (Michigan ranks 22 nd in the nation) and delays in payments for service rendered (Michigan ranks 24th in the nation). To streamline the process and ensure nonprofits can effectively and sustainably partner with government to provide services to communities, Michigan should create a Nonprofit One Stop, modeled after the New Jersey online nonprofit portal (http://www.njnonprofits.org/nonprofit_web_legislation.html). The Nonprofit One Stop would include an online resource to provide nonprofits ready access to state contracting and grant opportunities, online reporting and evaluation data collection, and a Nonprofit Ombudsman to handle contracting and granting disputes and monitor late payments and other granting and contracting challenges. The One Stop would include a Nonprofit Business Friendly Index that would monitor the various taxes, regulatory constraints, and other issues affecting the ability of nonprofits to serve communities in Michigan. These and other streamlining measures would remove wasteful, inefficient policies and practices to ensure that individuals needing services get them when they need them, that taxpayers receive full value for their investments, and that the lives of citizens and communities in Michigan are improved. Prohibit Mandatory and Coercive Demands for Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOTs) Preserve the Charitable Tax Exempt Status of Nonprofits Current law impact yet to be defined No pending legislation Revised June 23, 2011 �DRAFT Nonprofits have charitable tax exempt status in Michigan and throughout the country because of our belief in the right of assembly and the many tangible and intangible benefits that charitable nonprofits provide to society, including reducing the burdens of governments and bringing vitality to our communities. Michigan has proudly embedded this notion in law since 1893 (PA 206 of 1893). Yet, recently, in other states some local units of government have begun seeking ways to take money away from nonprofit missions, evading their states’ constitutions and statutes by coercing or demanding payments in lieu of property taxes. These schemes to take money away from nonprofit missions are spreading (http://www.councilofnonprofits.org/public-policy/state-policy-issues/nonprofits-taxes-pilots). As Michigan considers an overhaul of the personal property tax system, some units of government may be tempted to look to nonprofits, churches and other tax-exempt organizations to try to find other sources of income. For the benefit of taxpayers and businesses, the State of Michigan should preserve its longstanding value of respecting the special role that charitable nonprofits provide local communities and Michiganders by adopting legislation to ensure that our state remains a PILOT-free zone. Nonprofits cannot afford to shift their limited resources, much of which are provided by individuals and organizations that believe their gifts will support delivery of vital services and will not be transferred over to the government. Legislation should reinforce state property tax laws by barring local municipalities from charging taxes or fees to nonprofits based on their charitable tax-exempt status. Provide a Meaningful Seat at the Policy Table for Nonprofits Create the Office of Nonprofit Solutions Michigan’s nonprofit sector employs 10 percent of the state’s workforce and generates $108 billion in annual economic activity, yet there is not a single legislative branch committee or single executive branch official tasked with looking at the health and well-being of this sector. In order to accommodate the sector upon which so many citizens, local communities, and even government itself rely, the Caucus would recommend the creation of the Office of Nonprofit Solutions. Mirrored on the highly successful Office of Foundation Liaison, the Office of Nonprofit Solutions would serve as a powerful way to strengthen the partnership between state government and the state’s charitable organizations. The Office would strengthen nonprofit/governmental partnerships by establishing 1) better communication with the state government, 2) better coordination within government, and 3) enhanced data collection regarding the work of nonprofits. The Office would have three functions: Revised June 23, 2011 �DRAFT Michigan Nonprofit Council: Create a bi-partisan, 16-member Michigan Nonprofit Council to consider the relationship between government and nonprofits, and make recommendations on efficiencies, taxpayer savings, contracting issues, research needs, and improving community-based impact. Council Members would be appointed by the Governor, the leaders of the Michigan Nonprofit Caucus, Council of Michigan Foundations, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and Michigan Association of United Ways. The Council would host an annual summit to inform the Legislature and the public on solutions and progress. Interagency Working Group: Establish an Interagency Working Group on Nonprofit Organizations and the State Government to provide the means for key Executive Branch officials and the heads of critical state agencies that interact with nonprofits, such as Department of Human Services, to assess the current inconsistent and often conflicting state and local policymaking relating to nonprofits. The group will also provide ideas on how to replace these inconsistencies with a more coordinated process to achieve better outcomes in addressing state priorities and community challenges. Data Collection and Research: Task a single, existing state agency or nonprofit organization with the responsibility of coordinating data collection on nonprofits in Michigan. The entity would develop metrics on performance and streamline reporting requirements to better inform the Governor and Michigan Legislature on the impact of nonprofit organizations. Also create a small ($100,000) state matching grant program to promote research on improving data collection, enhancing the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations, and building the capacity of nonprofits for greater performance.

MCC held the first Summer Network Retreat July 25‐26 at Northern Michigan University. Forty MCC  constituents attended for networking and professional development. The Retreat featured several  workshops and round tables on a variety of topics, an Innovation Series, and keynote speaker Mary  Beckman from Notre Dame.    Best in Class: Service Leadership Camp will be held at the Sherman Lakes YMCA on September 23‐25,  2011. Camp is designed to prepare college student leaders to increase civic engagement at their  campus. This year’s Camp, supported by a grant from the Jenzabar Foundation in partnership with  National Campus Compact, will also welcome 30 high school seniors as they prepare to be the next  college student leaders.    MCC Grant Programs Update  Venture Grants  MCC received 15 proposals for Cycle 40 of the Venture Grant program, totaling a request of $42,781.58.  The proposals represented a variety of projects related to student service and engagement from 13 MCC  member campuses. A peer review committee chose to fully fund 13 of the proposals, for a total of  $36,479.58.    Funded Programs Update  The 2010‐2011 Michigan Service Scholars AmeriCorps program has received funding from the  Corporation for National and Community Service for the 2011‐12 program year. Host sites are currently  being selected, and members will begin to enroll in October 2011. MSS members have one year to  complete 300 hours of service for a $1,175 education award.    The Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps*VISTA grant was renewed for the third year of funding  from the Corporation for National and Community Service. The $181,108 grant will support 20 full time  VISTA members and 10 Summer Associates for the 2011‐2012 programming year.     MCC will close out the first year of its newest college access and success grant program, College Positive  Communities on August 31, 2011. Funding for this program was provided by a MCAN grant award,  through federal College Access Challenge Grant funding, in the amount of $213,437. In the 2010 – 2011  academic year, MCC awarded 9 College Positive Communities grants and 3 planning grants to member  campuses to continue work where students serving with youth and adult learners are trained as College  Positive Volunteers and expose youth to the merits of higher education. MCC is currently awaiting  federal notification about funding for the 2011‐2012 grant year.    The primary contribution MCC makes through its College Positive Volunteerism (CPV) program is to  train volunteers and trainers in the College Positive Volunteerism model.  Since the beginning of 2010,  1    �119 trainings have been held, involving 30 different campuses where 1,213 new college student  volunteers were trained, along with an additional 188 faculty, staff, national service and community  members.  In addition, nine College Coaching Corps AmeriCorps members were trained as CPV trainers  and placed in postsecondary institutions with the specific goal of recruiting and training college student  CPVs to be placed within youth‐serving organizations, including K‐12 schools.  These volunteers have  directly served an additional 3,431 youth.  Combined, MCC has served 18,345 youth through its college  access and success programs. MCC has aligned its CPV program with Michigan’s Local College Access  Networks so that funded postsecondary institutions are partnering with the LCANs.    Additionally, MCC has received a $5,000 grant from the Lumina Foundation and National Campus  Compact to hire a web design consultant to develop a Blackboard‐like online learning system for the  College Positive Volunteerism curriculum. This online learning system will include the capacity for  tutorials, discussion boards, quizzes and links to college access resources. It will allow MCC to have a  controlled, organized way to distribute the CPV curriculum and track user data. Currently, MCC is  working with a web design consultant to create this system on the web platform Edu 2.0. This system  will be ready for use by the end of August 2011.     Pay it Forward is a collaboration between Michigan Campus Compact, Ohio Campus Compact and  Kentucky Campus Compact. In the 2010‐2011 academic year, 72 courses in these three states, including  21 courses on 8 campuses in Michigan, received subawards for their students to practice philanthropy in  their local communities. In 2010‐2011, Pay it Forward ‐ Michigan engaged close to 500 college students  in 21 courses on 8 campuses. Michigan Pay it Forward students served over 7,500 hours in the  community while funding approximately 60 local non profits over $94,500 dollars in grant money.     The Pay it Forward initiative is currently funded completely through the Corporation for National and  Community Service: Learn and Serve America.  Recent federal budget negotiations and subsequent cuts  for 2011 (and the 2011‐2012 academic year) have resulted in no funding being appropriated to Learn  and Serve America for the 2011 fiscal year. However, Pay it Forward has received a no‐cost extension,  which allows Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky Campus Compacts to use funds from the 2010‐2011 program  year to fund a limited number of courses. Ten courses in Michigan will be funded at $2,000 per course in  2011‐2012. Administrative support for these courses will be provided by Ohio Campus Compact.    National Service Update  17 VISTA members began their year of service by attending a Pre‐Service‐Orientation, put on by the  Corporation for National and Community Service in Portland, Oregon and attended a three day training,  put on by Michigan Campus Compact in Lansing. The VISTA’s On‐site Supervisors joined the half of the

The three major components of the program are teacher trainings, the service and leadership camp for students and the placement of national service members throughout the state. Currently We are in a 177 schools, totaling 875 classrooms and 108 districts and roughly 16,000 students in the state of Michigan, including four school districts, consisting of Carson City-Crystal, Jackson, Pinckney and Romulus. The schools consist of a mix of public, private and charter schools. Update/Opportunties 2011 Service and Leadership Camp On July 22 – 24, we hosted the 2011 Service & Leadership Camp in conjunction with Learn and Serve Michigan for over 150 students and teachers from across the state of Michigan. The campers participated in Challenge Day, which inspired them to be the change they wish to see in the world, starting with themselves, through compassion and service; participated in a service project that led to us feeding 10,000 people in Michigan, the United States and Africa; took part in sessions that focused on communication, environment, fundraising, poverty, youth leadership and youth philanthropy; and on Sunday provided the campers an opportunity to use everything they had learned throughout the weekend to develop a plan for their school of how they are going to integrate service, service-learning and philanthropy education during the upcoming school year. In addition there were ongoing service projects throughout the weekend and we had Jeff Yalden present on leadership and service, while motivating the students to help them realize they can make a difference and Sean Forbes, who spoke about finding your passion and reaching your goals. Overall, the campers (students and teachers) left feeling energized and motivated to make a difference in their schools and to help us grow The LEAGUE Michigan. 2011 Fisher Trainings Throughout the summer, The LEAGUE Michigan completed 4 Fisher Trainings sponsored by the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation, Meijer and State Farm in Battle Creek, Detroit, Grand Rapids and Sault Ste. Marie. Each 3 ½ day training is designed to assist teachers in integrating service, service-learning and philanthropy education into their classroom during the upcoming school year. A big focus for the training is to help the teachers understand the needs of non-profits and begin to develop partnerships that they can use for the future. As a result of this, we formed local partnerships that assist The LEAGUE Michigan in hosting, training and providing resources with the United Way of the Eastern Upper Peninsula Volunteer Center, the Chippewa County Community Foundation, HandsOn Battle Creek, the Battle Creek Community Foundation and the Grand Rapids Community Foundation and the Volunteer Center at the United Way for Southeastern Michigan, as well as several other local organizations in each perspective community. In total, 78 teachers across the state were trained and ready to engage their students in making a difference! �Moving Forward The LEAGUE Michigan is currently in the process of working with teachers and administrators to begin to the 2011 – 2012 school year and are working to continue to grow and expand partnerships throughout the state. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Committee would be charged with developing a set of recommendations for establishing diversity and inclusion as a value, priority and practice of the MNA Board of Directors. Background Over the past 25 years, organized philanthropy has examined and debated the rationale for diversity and inclusion in response to: changing demographics of our nation and the communities served by foundations; recognition of the connection between understanding the unique perspectives of those communities and effective strategies for addressing their needs; pressure from Congress and the media for greater accountability and transparency; and encouragement and support from infrastructure organizations such as the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF). In recognition of this growing awareness and need for change within the philanthropic sector, CMF, as part of its 2001 strategic planning process involving more than 250 individuals (CMF trustees, members from community, corporate, family and independent foundations and corporate giving programs and CMF staff), began defining its commitment to diversity and inclusion and encouraging members to make a similar commitment (Phase 1). This commitment – grounded in the connection between diversity and inclusion and foundation effectiveness and accountability – is reflected in the CMF board actions taken between 2002 and 2009. These actions included the creation of the Transforming Michigan Philanthropy (TMP) Through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative. �Staff members of MNA were invited to participate in Phase 1 of this initiative through the Peer Action Learning Network (PALN). This provided staff the opportunity to learn about the potential benefits, challenges and opportunities adopting inclusive practices can do to help build more diverse organizations. In addition, MNA’s CEO was invited to serve on the advisory council of the TMP initiative. Over the course of the past year, MNA staff members have worked to develop the organization’s values and practices to become more inclusive. Our efforts have included conducting assessments, training, and reflection activities with staff to begin the important process of understanding how the organization’s current culture either promotes of discourages inclusive behaviors. Moving forward, MNA staff members believe that their work can and should be deepened within the organization to include not only the work of staff, but also the work of the MNA Board of Directors and even perhaps MNA’s external work with nonprofits. As CEO, I have directed two staff to lead simultaneous and connected efforts to build the capacity of the staff and board in this important work. Donna Murray Brown will work with the MNA Board of Directors and Diana Rodriguez Algra will work with the MNA staff. As a team, Donna and Diana will work with me and the Chair of the Board Development Committee to coordinate these efforts. Attached is a draft white paper developed by the staff to guide the efforts of the two bodies of work. �Diversity and Inclusion in the Nonprofit Sector: A Leadership Role for the Michigan Nonprofit Association Vision: A diverse and inclusive nonprofit sector that embraces and promotes diversity and inclusion practices that lead to building stronger communities. Mission: MNA embraces and promotes the policies, practices and benefits of being a diverse and inclusive organization to strengthen our organization and the nonprofit sector. Strategies: 1. Build MNA into an organization that is recognized as a leader in diversity and inclusion in the nonprofit sector. 2. Develop tools and opportunities for nonprofits in Michigan to learn and embrace best practices in diversity and inclusion. Goals: 1. Codify diversity and inclusion as a value, priority and practice of the MNA Board of Directors. 2. Embrace diversity and inclusion as a value, priority, and practice of the MNA staff. 3. Create diversity and inclusion resources for nonprofit capacity building. Framework: 1. Board Development a. Understanding: What is Diversity and what is Inclusion? Sample definitions: Diversity: is the face of an organization…who is involved as board, staff, volunteers, donors and clients (members). Inclusiveness: describes how people from all backgrounds are involved in their organization, how their perspectives are valued, and how their needs are understood. Develop the shared understanding among the board members as to the meaning of both, purpose and benefits of effective diverse and inclusive practices. Discuss why it is important and how it connects with the strategic plan of the organization. Understand our starting point-where are we right now? (Review demographic data of the state and other pertinent data to gain an understanding of where we are right now in this changing demographic landscape). Is the current composition of the governance board reflective of the demographic served by the organization? Revision 9/9/11 �b. Vision: What improvements would we want from the Board? Based on a shared understanding, develop a vision for the organization’s leadership for how diversity and inclusion will play a role in the organization’s governance? What does success look like? c. Policy: How do we get to the mission? How will MNA’s Board articulate its commitment to diversity and inclusion? The Board’s vision and understanding can only be effective and sustained if it is able to articulate its intensions in formal policies. What behaviors would we want to see? d. Practice: Once established, the policies of the board must be practiced, monitored and evaluated for effectiveness and relevance. And how will we measure our milestones/goal? e. Promotion: How will the Board advance its vision? MNA is a leadership organization that seeks to promote best practices. The Board’s role in the promotion of diversity and inclusion needs to be demonstrated and shared. Diversity and inclusion policy framework should include:  A values statement about the organization’s commitment to issues of diversity and equity  A brief statement of the added value that implementing this policy will bring to the work of the board – for example, making better decisions  A concrete statement of objectives  A set of milestones that the board would like to achieve  An accountability framework for achieving these  Information on resources to be used to ensure implementation  An accompanying operational plan that outlines, in priority, the steps taken to reach each goal These suggested/recommended steps to occur as part of the work of the adhoc Diversity and Inclusion committee:          Revision 9/9/11 Assess the current state of governance practices and identify gaps Develop draft by-laws, policies and procedures to improve and clarify governance Recruit new board members Ensure board orientation and ongoing development needs are met Ensure committees have a Terms of Reference Review and make recommendations to the board concerning board composition, Board size, board structures, board policies and procedures, by-law amendments Board attendance Assess board perception of organization’s level of diversity and inclusion �2. Staff Development a. Understanding: What is Diversity and Inclusion? Sample definitions: Diversity: is the face of an organization…who is involved as board, staff, volunteers, donors and clients (members). Inclusiveness: describes how people from all backgrounds are involved in their organization, how their perspectives are valued, and how their needs are understood. b. Develop the shared understanding among the staff as to the meaning of both, purpose and benefits of effective diverse and inclusive practices. Discuss why it is important and how it connects with the strategic plan of the organization. Understand our starting point-where are we right now? (Review demographic data of the state and other pertinent data to gain an understanding of where we are right now in this changing demographic landscape). Is the current composition of the staff reflective of the demographic served by the organization? c. Vision: What change would we want from the staff? Based on a shared understanding and direction from the Board, develop a vision for the day-to-day function of the organization for how diversity and inclusion will play a role in the organization’s operations? What will success look like for the staff portion of the plan? d. Policy: How will MNA’s staff articulate their commitment to diversity and inclusion? The staff understanding can only be effective and sustained if it is able to articulate its intensions in formal policies. What changes could we make to a number of our internal personnel policies and practices? How do we seek new vendors? Do we maintain an updated list of minority and women business owners to refer to? How often do we use these vendors in our own work? When we seek to add new staff what outreach steps do we undertake to diverse and inclusive organizations? e. Practice: What behaviors would we want to see? Once established, the policies of the organization must be practiced, monitored and evaluated for effectiveness and relevance. How will we measure our milestones/goal? If we do our job right we will be able to see: improved problem solving, increase creatively, and innovation, improved teamwork, and increased flexibility and ability to learn from people at all levels of the organization. In addition, we might experience less staff turnover and be in a position to more effectively attract and retain qualified staff. Revision 9/9/11 �     f. MNA would become a truly learning organization that strives to take into account the different needs and strengthens of its staff; We would promote an organizational culture that is welcoming and cooperative; We create opportunities for ongoing personal and professional transformation; Recognize that inclusiveness is a process and an approach to doing business, rather than a set goal; and Create a safe environment for candid and honest staff particpation Promotion: How will the staff help to advance our vision and values for other nonprofits? MNA is a leadership organization that seeks to promote best practices. The staff role in the promotion of diversity and inclusion as a best practice needs to be demonstrated and shared. These are suggested/recommended steps to occur as part of the work of the MNA Staff Diversity and Inclusion committee:            Revision 9/9/11 Review once again the 2010 IDI of the organization and the MNA internal team (Note that our membership has change) Look at developing a budget that will support this work internal and external moving forward, Review on a biannual ( every two years)bases our staff demographics, Host “Learn at Lunch” session for the purposes of learning about the issues of diversity and inclusion in general, Seek out articles of interest on the topics of Diversity and Inclusion and share with staff, Consider when to request of senior staff the retaking of the IDI to gauge if a change in individual and organizational perceived vs. developmental profile has taken place, Use meeting agendas, newsletters, memos and other forms of communication to publicize the diversity process and accomplishments of the initiative to date and outline next steps, Seek ongoing feedback from all staff as a way to refine the relevance of activities and monitor overall progress. How does the organization implement inclusive practices? Consider if a yearly retreat should include a segment on diversity and inclusion Identify other organizations and resources that might help us develop our model for internal diversity and inclusion work, Develop a realistic action plan for this works that takes into account ongoing operational and competing priorities � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

D3 is currently housed at City Connect Detroit. Neither Kurt nor his funders (the Kresge and Skillman Foundations) see that as a long term fit. I charged Donna with determining if in fact there was a mission-aligned opportunity or whether MNA should encourage Kurt to seek a different potential partner. After several conversations, both Kurt and Donna approached me with clear rationale for a potential partnership. MNA’s potential interests revolve around our need to bolster our existing data work. Our Nonprofit Research program has functioned, but struggled given our lack of expertise in this area. D3 has a solid reputation for both community and nonprofit research. D3 wants a better home and the opportunity to be deeper in the nonprofit sector in the Detroit Region and statewide. Kurt also generally would like to be with a more sophisticated and statewide nonprofit that would propel their mission. In our initial talks we explored many options, but Kurt was fixated on becoming independent and only wanted an administrative agent to process grants and payroll. We let him know that MNA is not in the incubation business and that superficial model would not work for us. �In our latest recent talks, we highlighted MNA’s current work with our affiliates (Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer centers of Michigan) and programs (Highway T) to advance our mutual goals and recently aligned mission. This was appealing to Kurt and he began to see that an independent nonprofit organization was not necessarily what he wanted. Kurt expressed that he would now like to move forward in partner talks. These talks would not be in the form of a merger given that D3 is a program and not an independent 501c3 nonprofit. However, given the deep interest of some of our mutual donors in the Southeastern Michigan region, staff would like to suggest that MNA and D3 engage in a facilitated partnership discussion to ensure that all parties are clear and able to craft a partnership agreement if possible. Therefore, MNA staff recommends that D3 and MNA engage in partnership discussions to determine if and how D3 and MNA might work together to serve the nonprofit sector. If the Executive Committee approves, staff would like to ask if Bill Liebold would facilitate this discussion. Staff anticipates that the talks should take no longer than one month. A recommendation our update would be provided to the Executive Committee at their December 2, 2011 meeting. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rodriguez Algra, Executive Director Date: June 1, 2011 Re: VCM Quarterly Report Below you will find some key highlights of our work this past quarter. Volunteer Generation Fund You will recall that in our March 2011 report we announced that the MCSC selected seven sub-grantees to implement this initiative at the local level. Those selected were: • Allegan County United Way and Volunteer Center • Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan • Resource Genesee • Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo • Volunteer Lenawee! • United Way & Volunteer Connections of Montcalm and Ionia Counties • Volunteer Center of West Michigan (formerly Volunteer Muskegon) The sites are progressing along. They will host their second gathering of grantees on June 9, 2011. On May 17, 2011 the MCSC submitted its second year renewal application to the CNC. Since no new dollars were allocated at the federal level, the application request went in with the same level of support as our first year. We have great expectations for this initiative and hope to be able to bring others in our network on board in the coming years. The centers selected for funding were involved in HandsOn Connect Software trainings all of March and April. May-August will see them in local partner training on the software. Our hope is to have all seven of them up and operating by September 1, 2011. Volunteer Centers of Michigan continues to work in partnership with the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Volunteer Michigan Grantees to develop and present relevant training. Needs assessments were completed by the volunteer centers and another by their nonprofit partners. The assessments were reviewed and results tabulated to identify areas of need. A summary was presented and reviewed with the Volunteer Michigan grantees. An initial presentation and training was done as a part of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan retreat on the topic of Skill-based Volunteers. This webinar presented material in follow up to an initial introductory webinar that was presented on the topic in January 2010. This second webinar focused on specific implementation steps and best practices as piloted by volunteer centers across the nation. Additional webinars are in development. These webinars will be taped so that they can be made available to all volunteer centers through the Volunteer Centers of Michigan's website on the resource tab. Site visits have been scheduled for the purpose of planning and to identify training needs specific to each sub-grantee. �In addition, Volunteer Centers of Michigan shared information and resources with the Iowa Commission on Community Service. VCM's trainer, Sandra Miller, presented to the Iowa Volunteer Generation sub-grantees to share lessons learned and resources developed by Michigan start up centers. A second presentation was made to share the Skill-based Volunteer training. The participants included the Iowa Volunteer Generation sub-grantees as well as representatives from other Iowa Volunteer Centers. VCM AmeriCorps'VISTA The VCM'VISTA program currently has six VISTA members serving in Volunteer Centers throughout the state and one VISTA Leader who is housed at MNA's Detroit office. During the past quarter, the VCM'VIST A members made huge strides in building capacity for their Volunteer Centers to meet community needs and develop poverty alleviation initiatives: • Ben Crockett who is serving at Char-Em United Way has given several talks on the nature of poverty and the power of volunteering to civic organizations over the past months. These presentations were met with positive responses and volunteer registrations. Ben also phoned previous volunteers who have worked on projects in the past to reconnect them with service ideas. • Anthony Sacco, who is serving at Volunteer Lenawee!, has initiated a partnership with the Tri-County Financial Stability Coalition to promote and advocate for financial literacy and self-sufficiency. • Anton Allen, who is serving in the Jackson Volunteer Center, organized a team to compete in Cooks for Books. Cooks for Books is a cook-off with a storybook theme! Teams of cooks developed a theme for their samples based on a children's book title. Cooking Teams prepared their favorite recipes for 100-150 people to sample and vote on. All proceeds from this event went to support Jackson's Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. • Meg han MacDonald, who is serving at Volunteer Center of Great Kalamazoo, started working on the Student Athlete Volunteer Program. She will be working with the Athletic Directors and Coaches of the 10 Varsity football teams in the area. Meghan will focus on connecting the teams with large group volunteer opportunities. She will also serve as a reference for any of the teams and organizations who may have questions about the program. MNA SuperConference This year our Civic Engagement Track had a number of excellent sessions. Below you will note the session and the number of participants that participated. • Brian Williams-Using Service as a Strategy to More Aggressively Meet Your Mission-95 • Amy Smith-Reimagining Service: Converting Good Intentions into Greater lmpact-75 • Renee Zientek, Olga Martinez, Christine Bell, Kira Putt and Amanda SchaferLeveraging the Skills of College Students for your Cause-45 • Matthew Nelson-Next Generation Volunteer Management: HandsOn Connect-20 • Jeanine Yard and Evan Albert-Catch the Spirit of Service-20 In addition to the Civic Engagement workshop track sessions listed above, the conference included an evening "Celebrating Service" dinner and plenary attended by 300 individuals. Our featured speaker for the evening was Brian Williams, Executive Director of HandsOn Nashville and recipient of the 2010 George W. Romney Excellence Award. During this evening even/. we celebrated the Volunteer Centers of Michigan's 20th Anniversary. A special publication was developed to highlight the work of the network and the key benchmarks of �the last twenty years. Copies of these are included in your Board packets. We also revealed our new logo. Comcast Collaboration Initiative Funding The final year of Comcast Collaborative sub-granting has come to a conclusion. This threeyear funding cycle focused on increasing volunteerism around the issues of literacy and mentoring. Sub-grantee project and outcome summaries are below: • • • • Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan and Southwest Michigan Mentoring Collaborative-A qualitative needs assessment survey was administered through interviews to 21 organizations and through email to 35 organizations that mentor children representing various geographic and demographic populations in Berrien, Cass and Van Buren Counties. 75% of those surveyed have registered with the Volunteer Center and/or Mentor Michigan web sites. In response to the survey, informational planning meetings and trainings were held in all three counties and several hundred posters have been successfully distributed to businesses in the tricounty area. Hundreds of Andrews University students were also provided with information about mentoring. Ultimately the groundwork has been laid through this grant and over 60 mentors have been recruited, 600 informational mentoring booklets and 200 posters were created and distributed throughout the area. Macomb Community College and Ben Ross Academy-Initial grant plans for Macomb Community College were interrupted when their original partner, Pinewood Elementary School pulled out of the program. A second collaborative partnership was formed with Ben Ross Academy to implement a Lunch Buddies Mentoring Program. Macomb students were recruited to serve the elementary students and 10 mentors were solidified. Shifts in programs have led to an excess of unexpended funds. The collaborative was granted an extension to launch two mentor programs in the fall, one with an early college program that partners with local high schools and another for first year college students who are labeled at-risk that would be in conjunction with the academic unit. Grand Rapids Community College and Kent County Mentoring Collaborative-In an effort to build infrastructure for the KCMC and to increase college student civic engagement in addressing community needs around youth mentoring, KCMC and GRCC have served 20 different mentoring programs who in turn serve over 2000 youth. Thirteen recruitment events were held and over 400 youth and 175 college student mentors participated in at least one of the 15 educational forum or mentor events. A total of 98 new college students are mentoring youth in KCMC programs since the beginning of the grant. Mentoring organizations report an increase of 213 mentors since the program started. Three county-wide recognition events were also held to honor, celebrate and thank mentors. Michigan State University and the Capital Area United Way-Through this grant, MSU and CAUW were working to build the capacity of youth transitioning out of foster care to successfully obtain a post-secondary degree, consistent with each youth's talents, dreams and life plans. The Foster Youth Alumni Services program worked with MSU Housing and the Kellogg Center on the campus to ensure that all students needing access to housing over breaks; through the University Development office students engaged in the FYAS Care package program. Over three years, 175 care packages were delivered to foster youth during exam weeks. A unique opportunity was made available where high school-aged foster care youth and college students prepared speeches and spoke to a listening panel of over 50 policymakers from across the University, several state departments, private agencies, the courts, and the Michigan Legislature. The Comcast grant funded six mentor trainings over the last three years, resulting in over 50 mentors being trained, 16 mentors signing up to �• mentor students and 13 successfully being matched with foster youth. A Foster Youth Alumni Services Website Cb.ttt:>:!Lw_wwJini'lJ<:l,rnsu.ed;Ji.fYa.sl"RR<lnti'Li'l~Q) was also created to provide information about several on and off campus resources for students and 53 foster care youth have taken advantage of the website. Northern Michigan University and Teaching Family Homes-NMU students are trained as mentors and serve with foster children from Teaching Family Homes. They engage in a monthly series of activities which encourage conversation, service, and positive relationships. During the 2010-11 academic year over 30 foster youth were recruited to participate in the program. NMU was on a delayed grant cycle due to their academic year and was given permission to submit their final cumulative report in June. More grant outcomes are expected at that time. Although the original three-year grant cycle has concluded, NMU, GRCC and Macomb collaboratives have requested additional time to expend remaining grant funds. Volunteer Centers of Michigan has agreed to provide a no-cost extension to these sub-grantees and will continue to monitor progress through May 2012. A final report of grant outcomes will be submitted to the Comcast Foundation in August 2011. Michigan Student Service Awards Recently during the conclusion of the 2010-2011 school-years, 141 high school seniors across Michigan were recognized through VCM's Michigan Student Service Award program for completing at least 400 hours of community service during their high school tenure. These students served a combined total of over 57,000 hours in their local communities. The number of awarded graduated seniors increased 48% from last year. Michigan Student Service Award certificates were signed by Governor Snyder and distributed to the following Volunteer Centers: United Way of the Eastern Upper Peninsula, United Way of Bay County Volunteer Center, the Volunteer Center of Dickinson Iron Community Service Agency, Greater Ottawa County United Way Volunteer Center, the Volunteer Center of West Michigan (Volunteer Muskegon). HandsOn Battle Creek, the Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo, and the Volunteer Center of Otsego County.

We do this by increasing the capacity of nonprofits in Michigan with emphasis on our competitive advantages of Civic Engagement (Human Capital) and Public Policy (Collective Voice). through: • • • • Engaging the collective voice of nonprofits (through public policy, advocacy) Leveraging the power of human capital (by supporting civic engagement throughout the continuum of life in a community) Fostering collaboration and effective practices (among networks and local resources) Cultivating and sharing resources and information (to explain, promote and advance the work of the sector) We are sustainable by ensuring a sufficient and diverse funding pool that includes grants, fees and contracted services, dues and non-dues revenue, individual giving and endowment proceeds. Strategv Screen MNA's strategies must: • • • • • • Focus on work that is mission related (How does this transform nonprofits-increase capacity?) Demonstrate or assess the availability of resources (Can we afford it/can we pay for it?) Be relevant to the needs of nonprofits including higher education institutions, volunteer centers and K-12 schools involved in The League (Will nonprofits/members benefit or need it? And how deep will MNA's involvement be-dependent on work) Lead with our competitive advantage (Are we leveraging our civic engagement and public policy expertise?) Have significant impact (Will we be able to demonstrate a short-term or long-term difference?) Recognizes new and emerging trends and political realities (ls the strategy relevant to today and the future? Is it something we have to do?)

Position Statement Michigan Nonprofit Association is interested in tax law that clearly ensures charitable tax exempt organizations and their expenditures are treated consistently. In addition, MNA seeks to ensure that nonprofits have sufficient resources to meet their missions. MNA supports SB 0107 which proposes amending the language of the General Sales Tax Act to clarify that products purchased by 501(c)3 and 501(c)4 organizations for fund raising activities would be exempt from sales tax, thereby ensuring that those funds could be used to fulfill their charitable missions. Discussion Items A. Mich /gan Tax Reform Update Tax reform legislation was passed by both the Senate and House on May 12'", sending it to Governor Rick Snyder, which he signed on May 25. The bill eliminates the charitable tax credit, replaces the Michigan Business Tax with a 6 percent corporate income tax, and taxes pensions. The elimination of charitable tax credits will reduce the ability of Michigan's nonprofit sector to serve those most in need. We will continue to work with the legislature to introduce an amendment to this legislation. In more positive news, included In the same tax legislation referenced above, Michigan's Earned Income Tax Credit will not be eliminated. Instead, filers will receive a 6 percent match of the federal EITC, rather than the 20 percent match as the credit stands now. While this is a reduction, this legislation preserves the spirit of the EITC. The original legislation zeroed out the credit, later to be changed to a $25 per child tax credit. The 6 percent state EITC will still help low-income families provide for themselves. B. Service Funding -Michigan Community Service Commission The Department of Human Services Appropriations conference committee approved $678,200 in state funding for the Michigan Community Service Commission for FY 2012, which houses important programs like AmeriCorps. This is the amount that was included in the Governor's FY 2012 budget. �The appropriations bills must now be approved by the House and Senate, but its passage looks promising. These funds leverage approximately $13.3M in federal funding. C. Benefit Corporations Legislation has been introduced- Senate Bill 359 and House Bill 4616- to allow for the formation of "benefit corporations." These organizations are for-profit corporations that want to focus not solely on profit, but also some aspect of the "public good." Legislation for these hybrid organizations has been appearing in numerous states across the country. This type of corporation would not receive any tax exemptions or tax benefits, but this formation raises some questions about how these types of businesses would be held accountable and how they could impact the nonprofit sector. MNA will continue to review and monitor this legislation before proposing a position. D. Nonprofit Caucus Update On May 11th MNA- along with CMF, MAUW and ArtServe- hosted a legislative reception to introduce the Nonprofit Caucus co-chairs to the nonprofit sector and vice versa. More than 50 nonprofit leaders attended the reception and three of the eight co-chairs (Sen. Proos, Sen. Warren and Rep. Barnett) attended. We have a meeting with all eight co-chairs on June 14th to discuss our legislative agenda. We are actively recruiting new members to the caucus. E: Redistricting Collaborative Update The Michigan Redistricting Collaborative has been actively engaged in raising awareness of the importance of not only the redistricting process, but the need for transparency in that process. In partnership with the Center for Michigan, the collaborative has hosted a number of Community Conversations around the state to garner the public's input into the process. Upon completion of these conversations, the Center will be compiling a report with their findings. In addition, an online district mapping competition was launched, giving individuals the opportunity to draw their own lines- more than 200 people submitted entries, at least one of which was presented to the legislature. F. Southeast Michigan Public Policy Council Update In the last meeting, the Council identified specific local public policy concerns that relate to their overarching set of public policy objectives. These objectives include the structural budget and economic importance of the nonprofit sector. The Council will be working on an education and awareness campaign around the Detroit City Charter, gearing up for 2012 election activities, amongst other things. The Council is developing an action plan and will be meeting again in July to continue fleshing out specific means to advance these goals through the end of the year. G: Federal Updates: CBO Report Analyzes Proposed Changes to Charitable Deduction The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), in a report released on May24th titled "Options for Changing the Tax Treatment of Charitable Giving," outlined the implications of 11 options for altering the current income tax treatment of charitable giving. In its report, CBO examined how changing the structure of tax incentives for giving would impact the amount of charitable giving, the overall level of tax subsidy, and the extent to which different income groups benefit from the tax preference. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Cooper documents his time spent with Mumford High School students taking an HIVIAIDS seminar taught by Marygrove College professors and students.

James Karagon, Associate Professor of Social Work at Marygrove College, along with Professors Donald Rizzo and Loretta Woodard, teach the HIVIAIDS seminar at Marygrove College. The photo essay was made possible by research grants from the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC). Kyle thanked David Fike, President and CEO, Marygrove College Kyle asked Jennifer Goulet, Chair, MNA SuperConference 20 II give an update on the SuperConference. Jennifer reported that this year's conference features the inspiring story of Doc Hendley, founder and president of Wine to Water, a discussion of generational communication from David Stillman and Debra Fiterman of BridgeWorks, an evening dinner plenary featuring a Celebration of Service with Brian Williams, Director of Hands On Nashville, and Steve Tobocman, author of the Global Detroit Study, will show how our diversity is transforming Detroit! Governor Snyder will address Conference Patticipants on May 1Oth during the Lunch Plenary. In addition to these motivating keynote speakers, the conference offers over 30 workshops with a wide range of educational opportunities! Next, Kyle asked Rob Collier to give the Board information on a concept they would like the Board to review. Rob said that in the past MNA brought organizations together for a Grantmakers and Grantseekers Conference. Rob said that the Council of Michigan Foundations would like to join with MNA to host a conjoined conference in October, 2012 in Dearborn, Michigan. This event would be a combination of the Michigan Nonproftt SuperConference and the Council of Michigan Foundations Annual Conference. This event will serve as each organization's premiere annual gathering for 2012. Costs, proceeds and program expectations will be negotiated in advance. Upon completion of the Conference, each organization will evaluate the program to determine if future conferences should be conjoined. �A motion was made by Susan Herman and seconded by Kathy Hayes that the MNA Board of Directors approve MNA partnering with the Council of Michigan Foundations to host a conjoined conference in October, 2012. Motion carried. Public Policy Report Rob Collier reported that Michigan Nonprofit Association is concerned with ensuring that the nonprofit sector can partner with government to meet local needs. Nonprofits working to protect the ability of vulnerable populations to help themselves will be negatively impacted by the repeal of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). MNA cannot support a measure that unduly shifts the burden of om state's financial security to the working poor and to the nonprofits that serve their needs. Therefore, the MNA Public Policy Committee recommends opposing the elimination of the Earned Income Tax Credit. In addition, MNA encourages policy makers to evaluate the impact and efficacy ofthis program beyond the projected $330 million in budget savings. Rob reported that currently, the boards of commissioners' districts in all Michigan counties are drawn by a five (5) member 'Reapportionment Body" composed of the county clerk, county treasurer, cmmty prosecutor, and the chairs of the two major parties in a county. The population threshold in SB 0224 and HB 4380 essentially singles out Oakland and Wayne Counties. Republicans control the Board of Commissioner in Oakland County, while Democrats have the majority in Wayne County. Rob reported that the MNA Public Policy Committee recommends that MNA oppose SB 0224 and HB 4380 because they violate the basic principles of the Michigan Redistricting Collaborative- transparent, fair, representative districts. These bills essentially allow elected officials to draw their own maps which increases partisanship, may reduce competitiveness, and leads to an even less transparent process. Next, Rob reported that last week, Rep. Walsh introduced HB 4231 which would allow parents to sign a waiver releasing a nonprofit from liability if their child is injured during an organized recreational sport. This legislation is in response to the Court of Appeals ruling in Woodman v. Kera, which found that current law renders those liability waivers invalid because there was no specific legislation on the books. The MNA Public Policy Committee recommends that MNA support ofHB 4231 because it remedies the lack of clarity in the current law, removes confusion regarding a parent's rights in terms of parental liability waiver, and protects nonprofit organizations involved in sporting events from excessive lawsuits. While the law does not address the overall liability issue for all nonprofits, it is a solid beginning to reforming the overall liability waiver issue. A motion to approve the above action items was made by Rob Colliet· and seconded by William Mayes. Motion carried. Finance Committee Report Tina Bruce, Director of Finance, reviewed the Financial Statements for month ending December 31, 2010. Tina noted one area, meeting expense, which shows $17,266 over budget. Tina reported that this was due to a training that was held dming the summer of20 I 0, in conjunction with the Council of Michigan Foundation and The LEAGUE Michigan, in which the events �expense/revenue was to be split. Since MNA received most of the income/ sponsorships for the event, MNA had to pay for a part of the meeting expenses, not budgeted for during our annual process. A motion to approve the Financial Statements for month ending December 31,2010 was made by William Mayes ami seconded by John Schneider. Motion carried. Adjournment David Eisler thanked everyone for attending the retreat and for their huge investment of a time. A motion to adjourn the meeting at 4:00p.m. was made by William Mayes and seconded by John Schneider. Motion cal'l'ie!l. The next MNA Board of Directors meeting will be held on June 21, 2011 at the University Club. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Twelve member campuses were represented by their presidents, provosts, or other designees. MCC Affiliation Agreements with the national Campus Compact and with the Michigan Nonprofit Association were discussed and since have been signed and finalized. Events and Student Recognition Update: Outstanding Student Service Awards On April11 MCC held its fifteenth annual Outstanding Student Service Awards Celebration at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center in East Lansing. We were delighted to continue this annual tradition of recognizing students across the state for devoting their time and talents to building stronger, safer and connected communities. In an effort to engage and honor students in a meaningful and relevant way, we have updated the nomination and application process for awards this year. As in the past, there were three types of awards: Heart and Soul, Commitment to Service and Outstanding Community Impact. MCC member campuses were given the opportunity to nominate students for each of these award categories. Over 600 students across the state were nominated, and in total, over 350 students representing 38 member campuses completed the necessary requirements to receive an award in one of the following categories: • • • Heart and Soul: recognizes undergraduate and graduate students for their time, effort and personal commitment to their community through service. 317 students received this award Commitment to Service: recognizes TWO students per MCC member campus for either the breadth or the depth of his/her community involvement or service experience(s) and the demonstration of meaningful reflection. 50 students received this award Outstanding Community Impact: honors up to six students in Michigan who have made service an integral part of their college experience by their significant contribution to community resources. The recipient's efforts build partnerships between their campuses and communities to demonstrate personal reflection and a commitment to lifelong engagement. Six students received premier this award from the following campuses: Alma College, Kalamazoo College, Matt Community College, Michigan State University, Oakland University and Madonna University 1 �Keynote speakers for this year's OSSA event were Nee I Hajra from the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation and Bridget Clark Whitney from Kids' Food Basket in Grand Rapids. Over 300 awardees and guests attended the celebration which was sponsored by the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan. Michigan's Engaged Campus of the Year Award Announcement: The MCC Council of Presidents announced at Giving and Volunteering 2011, that they would begin awarding one campus per year with the designation of Michigan's Engaged Campus of the Year at that same event in 2012. Further details regarding this award can be found at www.micampuscompact.org Network Relations: MCC is planning a Summer Network Retreat for MCC members on July 25-26 at Northern Michigan University. The Retreat will offer an opportunity for members to wrap up the 2010-11 academic year and gear up for the 2011-12 academic year. The Retreat will feature several workshops and round tables on a variety of relevant topics. The MCC Network Committee has met monthly since February via conference call. The Committee, consisting of staff and faculty representatives from MCC member campuses, has helped form the content of the Summer Network Retreat and is beginning to contribute to the content of the Institute. The Compact Magazine is transitioning to a digital format with the assistance of MCC Student Intern, Dan Nufer. Dan is a junior in the Professional Writing Program at Michigan State University. More information about the transition and Dan can be found at: http://www.micampuscompact.org/compactmagazine.aspx Michelle Snitgen, MCC Assistant Director for Grant Programs and Renee Zientek, MCC Executive Director, will be presenting on college access and higher education, specifically in regards to the College Positive Volunteerism Curriculum and campus models at the 2011 National Conference on Volunteering and Service. Shannon Zoet, Assistant Director of Campus Partnerships at MCC, Ashley Gulker, MCC Program Specialist, and Rachel Klegon, MCC VISTA Program Manager, will present a session called "Building a Statewide Community of Service" at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service in New Orleans, June 7, 2011. MCC Grant Programs Update: Venture Grants: MCC received 15 proposals for Cycle 40 of the Venture Grant program, totaling a request of $42,781.58. The proposals represented a variety of projects related to student service and engagement from 13 MCC member campuses. A peer review committee has made recommendations for funding and final funding decision will be made and announced in mind-June. Funded Programs Update: Pay it Forward is collaboration between Michigan Campus Compact, Ohio Campus Compact and Kentucky Campus Compact. In the 2010-2011 academic year, 72 courses in these three states, including 21 courses on 8 campuses in Michigan, received sub awards for their students to practice philanthropy in their local communities. In 2010-2011, Pay it Forward- Michigan engaged close to 500 college 2 �students in 21 courses on 8 campuses. Michigan Pay it Forward students served over 7,500 hours in the community while funding approximately 60 local-non profits over $94,500 dollars in grant money. The Pay it Forward initiative is currently funded completely through the Corporation for National and Community Service: Learn and Serve America. Recent federal budget negotiations and subsequent cuts for 2011 (and the 2011-2012 academic year) have resulted in no funding being appropriated to Learn and Serve America for the 2011 fiscal year. However, Pay it Forward has received a no-cost extension, which allows Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky Campus Compacts to use funds from the 2010-2011 program year to fund a limited number of courses (approximately 7 courses in Michigan at $2,000 per course in 2011-2012. The 2011 Conference on College Student Philanthropy has been cancelled. The Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin Campus Compacts collaborated to form the Midwest Campus Compact STEM Consortium (MCCSC). A $493,900.00 grant was awarded to this consortium in September 2010 by the Corporation for National and Community Service. Wisconsin Campus Compact and Minnesota Campus Compact are the lead institutions on this grant. The purpose of the Learn and Serve America Higher Education program is to expand participation in community service by supporting innovative service-learning programs carried out through institutions of higher education, acting as civic institutions to meet the human, educational, environmental, or public safety needs of neighboring communities. Grants support campus-based service-learning programs that directly and demonstrably benefit both the community served and the participants who the serve. Madonna University, Oakland University, and Saginaw Valley State University were all awarded grants by this consortium. Due to the elimination of the Federal Learn and Serve Budget, these grants are scheduled to end in December 2012 and will not be renewed. Service for Access Initiative funding ending May 2011: 2010- 2011 funding from Michigan College Access Network (MCAN) through the federal College Access Challenge Grant enabled MCC to award 10 member campuses funds to develop a curriculum (College Positive Volunteerism) and implement programs where college students serving with youth act as ambassadors of higher education and talk to youth about post-secondary options. These trained college students are called College Positive Volunteers (CPVs). College Positive Communities Grant: MCC has also begun a new grant program, College Positive Communities, from an additional MCAN grant award, also through federal College Access Challenge Grant funding, in the amount of $213,437. For the 2010-2011 academic year, MCC has awarded 9 College Positive Communities grants and 3 planning grants to member campuses to continue work where students serving with youth and adult learners are trained as College Positive Volunteers and expose youth to the merits of higher education. The primary contribution MCC makes through its CPV program is to train volunteers and trainers in the College Positive Volunteerism model. Through the course of this past year, 53 trainings were held, involving 31 different campuses where 806 new college student volunteers were trained, along with an addltional156 faculty, staff, national service and community members. In sum, a total of 3,093 youth have been served. Most of the individuals served are either high school juniors or seniors. In addition, nine College Coaching Corps AmeriCorps members were trained as CPV trainers and placed in postsecondary institutions with the specific goal of recruiting and training college student CPVs to placed within youth-serving organizations, including K-12 schools. These volunteers served approximately 255 youth each, for an additional 2,296 youth served. Combined, MCC, through the CPV 3 �project, served 5,389 youth. MCC has aligned its program with Michigan's Local College Access Networks so that funded postsecondary institutions are partnering with the LCANs. Additionally, MCC has received a $5,000 grant from the Lumina Foundation and National Campus Compact to hire a web design consultant to develop a Blackboard-like online learning system for the College Positive Volunteerism curriculum. This online learning system will include the capacity for tutorials, discussion boards, quizzes and links to college access resources. it will allow MCC to have a controlled, organized way to distribute the CPV curriculum and track user data. Currently, MCC is interviewing web design consultant candidates and researching web platforms to host this learning system. National Service Update: MCC*VISTA Host Sites 2011-2012 VISTA member recruitment and VISTA Host site selection has been completed forthe 2011-2012 MCC AmeriCorps*VISTA year.

As part of the Implementation Phase, the organizations will draw down their grant awards to begin the process of putting the necessary components in place to implement and sustain their new ways of operating in a permanent collaboration. The total allocation for the implementation phase (beginning last year November and concluding October 2012) is $1.2 million. $220,000.00 has been disbursed to date. Public Policy TheSE Michigan Public Policy Council conducted two 1/2 day seminars to create a strategic plan against their two priorities 1) Educating public officials about the nonprofit sector and the economic importance of the sector and; 2) Advocating for the state to structural budget. An action plan has been fully developed with members of the council taking the lead on advancing the work of the council by providing critical information to the regional and state-level public policy leaders as well as constituents and council member clients. The next meeting in July will focus on planning of activities the council will activate through the end of the year. Two of the current concerns being addressed in the local area by the Council are: 1) building awareness of the council members, the clients they serve and broader community around the Detroit Charter Revisions and conveying the impact of the revisions to the community; 2) Urging the Mayor and City Council to create a sound budget by June 30th to stave off the possibility of the City of Detroit relinquishing its fiscal responsibilities to an Emergency Financial Manager. Diversity and Inclusion Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), Detroit Public Television (DPTV) and Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) are partnering to support the Public Service Leadership Diversity initiative of National Urban Fellows. The Public Service Leadership Initiative is dedicated to creating a pipeline of diverse nonprofit and public service leaders across the country. Eight cities (Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Seattle and Philadelphia) have committed themselves to supporting the work of creating a strong pipeline of diverse nonprofit and public service leaders by developing unique strategies for their respective communities. �MNA, DPTV and CMF have developed an awareness and communications model for national replication that engages, educates and energizes public service leaders to become diversity and inclusion leaders. Our plan is to leverage a communications model to inspire and implement organizational change, bringing about organizational excellence. The model is designed to reach decision-makers at local non profits in Southeastern Michigan; Educate them about the need for more diversity among staff, management and board; Empower them with effective diversity building tools and; continue to sustain energy that motivates them to change. The model will engage Michigan centers of influence: 1675 individuals and 651 organizations. On June 14th and 15th, Donna Murray-Brown, MNA and Rich Hamberg, DPTV and Kristen Rolf, DPTV will do a presentation of its communication model as part of a National Urban Fellows convening session (of the eight cities highlighted above) to be held in Atlanta, Georgia. Note: National Urban Fellows has provided the collaborative of MNA, DPTV and CMF with initial funding to begin the creation and implementation of the model. Civic Engagement With funding from the Kellogg Foundation, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Campus Compact, the State Office for the Corporation for National and Community Service, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, United Way for Southeast Michigan and Detroit Cities of Service have been working together to bring their resources, knowledge and expertise to the Detroit community for the purpose of utilizing service as a strategy for improving neighborhood and community conditions. Since January, the leadership of each of the aforementioned organizations created convening sessions for volunteer connector organizations and organizations with service learning programs and organizations with active corporate volunteer programs to discuss ways of aligning their work to create impact in neighborhoods and communities. As the work began to evolve, we discovered there was value in convening the group to share, learn and ultimately work together. it became apparent over time that the best way to continue the momentum created by the two convening sessions of 30-40 organizations (a session) would be to provide and environment to cultivate an organic collaborative to remain intact to strengthen volunteerism and volunteerism as a strategy for community development in Detroit. We have the last convening session (as outlined in the Kellogg grant) June 24th. We will work with the organizations to create an ongoing commitment to this work by mutually developing clear next steps to sustain and build upon the great momentum built over the last several months. Donna Murray-Brown attended W.K. Kellogg's first-ever convening session addressing the needs, barriers and success of work around Racial Equity in Asheville, North Carolina. The convening session called America Healing, is an initiative of W.K. Kellogg to support programs that promote racial healing and address racial inequities. More than 300 nonprofit organizations dedicated to racial equity work heard from inspiring thought leaders providing insight and strategies about understanding and addressing racial inequities. �(,'j T ;j ;; tccl1noloqy nav!Qation fornonPronts Technology Capacity for Arts and Culture Organizations in Southeast Michigan The Highway T team continued to provide technology assessments and technical assistance to 9 arts and culture organizations in southeast Michigan.
