Shelly Schadewald Executive Director Jackson Nonprofit Support Center (517) 796-4750 file://c:\windows\TEMP\eud7122.html 7/27/00 �Volunteer Investment Grant Report Mid Term Report - 2000 Shelly Schadewald, Executive Director Progress Toward Objectives listed in Volunteer Generation Plan: Recruit and Expand Community Partners to at least 100 The Jackson Nonprofit Support Center (JNSC) has recruited an additional 25 volunteer consultants and trainers to join our 65 community partners, now totaling 90. There is tremendous interest and enthusiasm about being a community partner. Each partner Is required to meet our quality standards and sign a code of ethics and confidentiality statement. Beginning in September 2000, our workshop series will expand to 25 workshops, all with volunteer trainers. Consulting arrangements occur on a weekly basis. Our recognition program includes our first anniversary open house, featuring our Volunteer Superstars. The event took place on April 14 and we celebrated with more than 65 guests. In conjunction with the event and National Volunteer Week, the Youth Volunteer Action Guide was released. Recruit Volunteer Staff for the Center The Support Center continues to value wonderful volunteer staff support. So far this year, more than 40 people have volunteered for the Center, providing technical expertise for the web site and data profile search, clerical help, database entry, staffing registration tables, serving as board members, receptionists, library support and more. At our events, various nonprofit leaders assist in management of the event, such as with our Nonprofit Leadership Forums, our first anniversary open house and National Volunteer Week activity. That assistance results in team volunteering. All of our 18 workshop were done by volunteer trainers as well. Co-Sponsor at least three Volunteer Community Events The Day of Caring was suspended by United Way of Jackson County due to lack of an Executive Director. While we did participate in the Colin Powell Kick-Off event for Jackson County's Promise to Kids (JCPTK), we did not hold a Youth Summit in April as planned. This was due to a restructuring by the JCPTK Leadership Team. We actively participate In the initiative and are now collecting data to link nonprofit needs, such as for volunteers or mentors to commitments of all kinds. Two additional volunteer related events have been added for the fall training calendar, including two workshop on How to Be a Good Mentor, and How to Work with Mentors In the New Millennium. Make a Difference Day Is still planned for October 2000. Directly Sponsor at least Five Additional Volunteer Events Vigreport2000.6.15.00 �The activity for National Volunteer Week was fantastic. More than 65 attended our Volunteer Superstar/First Anniversary Open House. Four superstars were honored and featured on the cover of our Youth Volunteer Action Guide, which reached more than 36,000 homes on April 10, 2000. Several volunteer workshops are planned for our next training calendar, Including Working with Youth Volunteers, Volunteer Liability, Mentoring and more. Complete the Strategic Plan and Carry Out its Objectives Our board worked very hard on the strategic plan and It Is completed. While quite ambitious, we feel It Is a doable plan. We have also developed an operational plan. We are carrying out the objectives with the board actively involved. Our particular emphasis Is on member services. Continue Marketing and Communications Plan We continually promote and market our services. At least once per month, our members receive valuable communication from us with consistent use of font, logo and character. We continue to add member services. We recently developed a list of attorneys and accountants willing to work probono or at discounted rates. We send our quarterly newsletter out to 500 on our mailing list and are featured in the local newspaper with frequency. We are planning to start a radio show with a local radio station this year. Our marketing strategies are part of our strategic plan. Serve as a key player for JCPTK We have actively served on the Leadership Team for JCPTK since February 2000. While the Promise has moved ahead, it was the decision of the Leadership Team to step back and refocus our thoughts on our mission, vision, values and goals as well as organizational structure before plunging ahead with much more activity. This is progressing well. More updates will soon follow. Continue Service Delivery to Jackson's Nonprofits Last year, we had 81 members. We currently stand at 112 members. Our goal for this year is 150 members. All services are carefully evaluated, and our results will be detailed in our annual report. Our Fail training series is now confirmed. 25 workshop of all kinds will take place beginning in September. Our technical assistance and resource library are still heavily utilized. The common issues for nonprofit seeking assistance are strategic planning, board development and fund raising. We also see many volunteers seeking opportunities. Progress Toward Community Wide Service Projects We have completed Martin Luther King, Jr. Day promotional campaign and public service announcements about volunteerism in general. Our involvement in Jackson County Promise to Kids is on-going. The National Volunteer Week activities were a great success as was the Youth Volunteer Action Guide. A second edition will go out in October In preparation for Make A Difference Day. Vlgreport2000.6.15.00 �Our Mentoring workshop this fall will be aimed at all the county citizens. Our student Intern, solely focused on volunteerism from January to April 2000 also established a coordination network for promoting youth volunteerism called the Youth Ambassador Program. We now have a database of the specific contact person for each school (all fourteen districts from elementary to high school). This was a lot of work! This network will allow us to directly involve all of our schools in our county wide service projects. It will be very helpful for Make A Difference Day in October 2000. Please Describe Fund Raising Objectives and Progress. Include Challenges and Plans for Second Period Fund Raising. The Center met the match for the VIG grant by obtaining commitments from major foundations and nonprofits In Jackson County. Our endowment stands at $231,000. Our fund raising plan Is part of our strategic plan. We are now establishing sponsors for our events and will look for some fund raising expertise to assist with our match for next year's VIG. We are very, very concerned about raising the 2:1 match. Describe new activities or initiatives that occurred this period that were a direct outgrowth of Michigan's VIG. New activities related specifically to Volunteerism include: • • • the Youth Ambassador Program a Radio show (still In the works) More collaboration with other local volunteer agencies for tough placements Please list any challenges, problems or delays in the first period of the Michigan's VIG grant cvcle and anticipated challenges. problems or delays in the second period. We have had many successes. Our only significant problems were the cancellation of two of our major volunteer events which was out of our control (the JCPTK Summit and the Day of Caring) but we can make up for it. Fund raising to meet a 2:1 VIG match will be very difficult. Trainina and Technical Assistance Needs Advanced fund raising and strategic planning.

Together, we recruited approximately 400 volunteers for the three-day period. This year will be our second year of helping with the festival. Last year's festival was the best first year the National Council of the Arts has ever seen In the 23 years of the festival. The primary reason was volunteer support, organization and how informed and knowledgeable volunteers were about their respective positions. This year, most of the volunteers have returned and the great part is that they had so much fun last year and gained so much insight into what will make it even better that they are helping with the organization of the festival. We also coordinated the Nickelodeon Big Help on June 22, 2000. There were more than 2,000 volunteers that turned out for the event. Many were parents, adults and many of them were youth interested in volunteerism. The participants spent the day touring the Big Help Bus and renovating the Baker/Donora Focus Center's Park. They planted flowers, a community garden, built bird houses, built a compost bin and even constructed a walking path. As a result of the day, the summer program has seen a 30% increase in participation from the neighborhood and more parents are getting Involved in the daily operation of the center. The most successful outcome of the event is that there is a much greater awareness about what services the focus center provides the neighborhood and classes are now much more attended. For the Volunteer Center of Mid-Michigan, it was an opportunity to build the capacity of the focus center to support its own volunteer needs through people who work/live in that area. We also have several youth groups who perform monthly volunteer projects through the VCMM. The Indian Cultural Group Is one of them. They are a group of students from Okemos who share an Interest in their Indian heritage and a desire to make a difference in the community through volunteerism. Examples of projects that they have completed include: Refurbishing school bleachers at Dansville high school, landscaping a playground and a park clean up at Lake Lansing Parks. We also work with a group from Pine Lodge which is a residential treatment program for boys ages 17-21. They are tough kids with tremendous potential. They have taken on some of the dirtiest projects for non-profits such as the Creation Station's remodeling project. The station provides educational products for teachers and daycare providers out of recyclable Items. They painted, cleaned and scrubbed a warehouse clean for the agency. They also cleaned, organized and converted a mess oflarge donations (couches, refrigerators, tables) for Refugee Services. They also painted and cleaned up their office space to make it more user friendly. In addition, they did a great deal of work for Ingham County's Park and Recreation Program at the Lake Lansing Site. The work this group has performed has proven that youth not only have potential and endless energy, but given the right direction and influence, there Is no telling how far these young men could go in life.

The Michigan Campus Compact was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution that institutions of higher education were making to their communities. A few months later, a small group of community based volunteer centers began the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. A year later, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (known then as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum) was developed to enhance the understanding of the nonprofit sector including the advancement of philanthropy and volunteerism. Finally in 1991, newly elected Governor John Engler created by Executive Order the Michigan Community Service Commission. Over the years, all four organizations have worked collaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the Michigan Nonprofit Association. These partnerships have strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in immense administrative savings. In addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of all three organizations have been enhanced by this unique partnership. Under new leadership, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (and its affiliates) and the Michigan Community Service Commission have made a concerted effort for a more intentional and effective pattnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged by "outside influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding the need for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary motivators -the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; and potential changes in federal programs that supp01t volunteerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more effective as a unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that some activities/functions MUST remain separate - again, for the greater good of the field. What seems to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common functions of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus. This conceptual organization, unofficially dubbed "The Alliance" for purposes of conversation, has received a great deal of support from sector leaders and partner organizations, and the official stages of planning have begun. Purpose: The purpose of "The Alliance" is to centralize state-level, volunteer programming efforts in a manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, "The Alliance" would administer volunteer progrannning currently administered by MNA, VCM, MCC, and MCSC. "The Alliance" would continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. An endowment fund would be created to support "The Alliance" which would secure its existence into perpetuity.

What seems to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common functions of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus. This conceptual organization, unofficially dubbed ..The Alliance" for purposes of conversation, has received a great deal of support from sector leaders and partner organizations, and the official stages of planning have begun. Purpose: The purpose of"The Alliance" is to centralize state-level, volunteer programming efforts in a manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, --The Alliance" would administer programming and technical assistance currently admmistered by MNA, VCM, MCC, and MCSC. 'The Alliance" would continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. An endowment fund would be created to support ·The Alliance," which would secure its existence into perpetuity. Funding: The current vision is to secure $20 million in endo" mcnt funds, which would consist of two funding streams: �• State: It is being proposed that the State of Michigan create a $10 million endowment to continue their commitment to volunteerism in our state. This endowment would be managed by the State of Michigan and would generate approximately $500,000 annually that would be allocated directly to ''The Alliance" for administrative and program funding. • Private: An additional $10 million would be sought in match funds to the State endowment, which would be placed in a private endowment (possibly the George W. Romney Fund). This additional $500,000 income would be expected to enhance "The Alliance" budget in Year Two of its existence, bringing the annual budget to $1 million. Governance and Administration: A 5-7 person Board of Trustees would govern "The Alliance" with representation from MCSC, MCC, VCM and MNA. The initial board will be appointed by the two incorporating entities (MCSC and MNA). Both incorporating entities will develop a written contract outlining their responsibilities with the new structure and with each other. It is anticipated that in the first few years MNA would serve as the fiduciary agent. "The Alliance" would have an executive director reporting directly to "The Alliance" Board. The executive director will be an at-will employee hired by the Board. VCM and MCC would continue to have directors that report to the Executive Director, but hired by a committee of respective constituents and the executive director (following current hiring practices). Additional program staff of ''The Alliance" is outlined on the attached organizational chart. The affiliation agreements between VCMJMNA and MCCIMNA will continue to be in effect and would serve as a safety net for either entity to remove themselves from ''The Alliance" structure. The leadership ofVCM and MCC will conduct an annual review of the relationship with "The Alliance." The findings of that review will be presented to the MNA Board of Trustees. Timeline: • June 1999- "Serious" conversations between MNA and MCSC leadership begin • July/August 1999- seek general concept support from the Governor, Ms. Engler, MNA Chairperson, VCM Chairperson and MCSC Executive Committee. • September 1999- Proposal is brought to MCSC, MNA Board, VCM Advisory Committee, and MCC Council of Presidents for feedback • October/November 1999 - Administrative and program structure is finalized, fund development plan outlined. • November 1999- Hire legal consultant and draft articles of incorporations and bylaws. • December 2000 -Final plan is presented for approval to MCSC, MNA, VCM and MCC. • January, 2000- Fund Development process begins (legislative and private). • October 2000 -'The Alliance" is born with Phase I of funding (legislative). • October 2001- "The Alliance" achieves full funding.

The Michigan Campus Compact was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution that institutions of higher education were making to their communities. A few months later, a small group of community based volunteer centers began the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. A year later, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (known then as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum) was developed to enhance the understanding of the nonprofit sector including the advancement of philanthropy and voluntcerism. Finally in 1991, newly elected Governor John Engler created by Executive Order the Michigan Community Service Commission. Over the years, all four organizations have worked collaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the Michigan Nonprofit Association. These partnerships have strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in immense administrative savings. In addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of all three organizations have been enhanced by this unique partnership. Under new leadership, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (and its affiliates) and the Michigan Community Service Commission have made a concerted effort for a more intentional and effective partnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged by "outside influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding the need for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary motivators -the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; and potential changes in federal programs that support volunteerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more effective as a unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that some activities/functions MUST remain separate - again, for the greater good of the field. What seems to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common functions of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus. This conceptual organization, unofficially dubbed "The Alliance" for purposes of conversation, has received a great deal of support from sector leaders and partner organizations, and the official stages of planning have begun. Purpose: The purpose of 'The Alliance" is to centralize state-level, volunteer programming efforts in a manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, "The Alliance" would administer volunteer programming currently administered by MNA, VCM, MCC, and MCSC. "The Alliance" would continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. An endowment fund would be created to support 'The Alliance" which would secure its existence into perpetuity. �Funding: The current vision is to develop a pcmmncnt endowment at a local community foundation. The earnings of the. endowment would be utilized to run the administrative functions of the '·Alliance." The initial funding of the endowment would be a combination of private and public dollars. • State: It is being proposed that the State of Michigan fund $10 million of the '·Alliance" endowment. The $10 million would be a one-time allocation from FY 2000-2001 budget. Based on initial discussions by the MCSC and the Governor's staff, it will be our intent to have this line item contained in the executive budget. The allocation would be placed into a permanent endowment at a local community foundation with a challenge to the private sector to match dollar for dollar given by the state. The fund's placement into a community foundation would ensure appropriate investment strategy and remove the fear of future political administrations from eliminating the fund. • Private: An additional $10 million would be sought in matching funds to the State's allocation, which would create a total private endowment of $20 million. The private campaign will be geared towards foundations, corporate giving programs and individuals. A full endowment campaign with a visible fundraising committee will be developed once the state's allocation is secured. The fund will ensure the continuation of the programs of MCSC, VCM and MCC in perpetuity. The fund will generate an mmual basis of $850,000 dollars that will be dedicated to the administrative functions of running the Allim1ce, VCM and MCC. The Alliance will generate additional funding for programming through grants and fees for services. Governance and Administration: A 5-7 person Board of Trustees would govern "The Alliance" with representation from MCSC, MCC, VCM and MNA. The initial board will be appointed by the two incorporating entities (MCSC and MNA). Both incorporating entities will develop a written contract outlining their responsibilities with the new structure and with each other. It is anticipated that in the first few years MNA would serve as the fiduciary agent. 'The Alliance" would have an executive director reporting directly to "The Alliance" Board. The executive director will be an at-will employee hired by the Board. Additional program staff of 'The Alliance" is outlined on the attached organizational chart. The affiliation agreements between VCMIMNA and MCCIMNA will continue to be in effect and would serve as a safety net for either entity to remove themselves from "The Alliance" structure. The leadership ofVCM and MCC will conduct an annual review of the relationship with "The Alliance." The findings of that review will be presented to the MNA Board of Trustees. Time line: Phase I -Research and Analysis • June 1999- "Serious" conversations between MNA and MCSC leadership begin. • July/August 1999- seek general concept support from the Governor, Ms. Engler, MNA Chairperson, VCM Chairperson and MCSC Executive Committee. • September 1999- Proposal is brought to MCSC, MNA Board, VCM Advisory Committee, and MCC Council of Presidents for feedback. �• • • • • October/November 1999 - Meet with local constituents that might be impacted by the '·Alliance .. , October/November 1999- Engage a committee of board leadership from MNA, MCSC, MCC and VCM to provide guidance and oversight to staff October/November 1999- Further develop administrative structure and funding prospects. November 1999.- Engage experienced consultants to review our process, administrative stmcture and operating documents. December 1999- Present formal plan to MCSC, MNA, VCM and MCC. Phase 2- Fund Development Campaign (Only if Phase One is found acceptable) Phase 3- Organizational Implementation (Only if Phase One is found acceptable) Motivation for Joining Meets Mission The Michigan Nonprofit Association's (MNA) mission is to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause ofvolunteerism and philanthropy in the state. The proposal meets MNA ·s mission by creating an entity that advances the cause of volunteerism in perpetuity. Both the MCC and VCM can fully focus on mission and organizational development of local organizations. The "Alliance" will be a one-stop shop for communities, business and individuals for community problem solving, volunteer placement and management support. Streamlines Bureaucracy (Privatizes duplicated efforts) It eliminates duplication of services between the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Michigan Community Service Commission. Activities currently being conducted by govermnent that are duplicative in the nonprofit sector are privatized to the new entity. The venture will be one of the first public/private venture revolving around nonprofit and volunteerism in the country. Coordinates Statewide Activities The development of the "Alliance" will allow for a more coordinated effort between statewide partners resulting in a continuum of service between volunteer centers, United Ways, community Foundations, school districts and the workplace on the local level. It will provide the local citizen with opportunities to give back their community from "the cradle to the grave." Continues Successful Programs The development of the "Alliance" ensures that successful progran1s such as Make A difference day, ConnectMichigan, America's Promise, recognition programs will continue regardless of changes in federal funding, state leadership, and economic times. It protects the programs and services from political intervention as well. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The process offorming the Alliance, and investigation of options for its overall design, its mission, culture, and governance structure is very rushed and somewhat scal/ered. The process has not always engaged the staff in discussions. Many MCC constituents have experience in and knowledge of organizational and legal issues of the formation of such alliances. Yet the rushed timeline does not allow for adequate input This runs contrary to the MCC and National Campus Compact support of the democratic process including thorough investigation and critical discourse. The lack of clarity and the rushed nature has generated hesitancy on the part of many MCC constituents. To address this issue, MCC recommends that open communication about/he Alliance, its purpose, structure, funding take precedent. In addition, MCC recommends that a new timeline for discussions be published which allows for adequate input from MCC, VCM, MCSC, and MNA · staffing and constituencies. 2. MCC constituents are concerned that they have not been given an accurate outline of the MCC situation in its service environment. That is, while the Alliance Presentation at the December 13, 2000 Council of Presidents meeting explained a partial basis of potential financial gains, it did not explain that financially MCC does not present a great need for the Alliance, at least to the same extent as VCM-that wants to secure financial stability-or MCSC-some of whose programs have an unstable future with the prospective change of government. MCC is stable in that it generates substantive annual membership fees, has a national support system, and has no competition for its services. Moreover, the services it provides have been noted both by its constituents and nationally to be outstanding. Identity 3. The identity of MCC must be very visible as it own separate entity and as a member of National Campus Compact. This is important first because MCC frequently receives requests and orders from its national organization that it must meet. The structure of the Alliance must be such that MCC may quickly respond to its national requirements and not be slowed down, or meet interference from the Alliance management. Second, the MCC identity must be clear for media and public purposes so that member and nonmember colleges and universities are clear about opporturtities available from MCC, and how and why it is part of the Alliance. Media and outreach support is critical. The Alliance infrastructure must thus be both supportive to MCC outreach needs and clear to the· public. MCC staff recommends that the contractual agreement of the Alliance include an identity and corresponding release clause. If at any time the identity and/or mission of MCC is being compromised and resolution is not made, MCC maintains the righi to leave the Alliance with all of its respective programs, services, and assets with guarantee ofnon-duplication by the Alliance. Staffing and Organizational Structure 4. MCC staff and other constituents have substantive concern about the level of staffing and organizational structure proposed for the Alliance. For the MCC staff and constituents, these issues must be addressed prior to fund raising. Michigan Campus Compact refers to the proposed structure as "The Alliance". Its constituents do not agree with the use of Volunteer, since volunteerism is only a small part of what MCC promotes. 2 The concerns presented have been collected by MCC staff in conversations with some MCC constituents (presidents, community service directors, service-leammg directors, faculty, and students). Additional concerns and benefits will presented after the March 16. 2000 meeting of the MCC Program and Planning Committee that is slated to review the Alliance proposal 1 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Media and outreach support is critical. The Alliance infrastructure must thus be both supportive to MCC outreach needs and clear to the public. MCC staff recommends that the contractual agreement of the Alliance include an identity and corresponding release clause. If at any time the identity and/or mission of MCC is being compromised and resolution is not made, MCC maintains the rightto leave the Alliance with all of its respective programs, services, and assets with guarantee ofnon-duplication by the Alliance. Staffing and Organizational Structure 4. MCC staff and oilier constituents have substantive concern about the level of staffing and organizational structure proposed for tlte Alliance. For the MCC staff and constituents, these issues must be addressed prior to fund raising. 1 Michigan Campus Compact refers to the proposed structure as "The Alliance". Its constituents do not agree with tlte use of Volunteer, since volunteerism is only a small part of what MCC promotes. 2 The concerns presented have been collected by MCC staff in conversations with some MCC constituents (presidents, commurtity service directors, service-learning directors, faculty, and students). A'dditional concerns and benefits will presented after tlte March 16, 2000 meeting of the MCC Program and Planning Committee that is slated to review the Alliance proposal. �Currently MCC coordinates many programs, events, resources, and grants with a limited staff. At the direction of the MCC Chair, MCC staff will not assume additional tasks. Thus there is concern about the staffing of the MCSC programs that will come into the Alliance. The proposed level of staffing for the Alliance is inadequate. },fCC recommends that the time base of the "Shared" Staff must be evaluated and clearly delimited MCC must also have the option of hiring additional support staff, e.g. an administrative assistant, to meet its needs. If it does so at its own cost, its contribution to Alliance administration must be balanced according to reflect the additional staffing costs it has incurred 5. MCC is also concerned about the reporting lines of the proposed Alliance; the relationship of the MCC Council of Presidents (to whom the director directly and primarily repo\'(s) to the Alliance Board; and the number ofMCC and VCM constituents on the Alliance Board and tl10se from MCSC and MNA. Fund Development 6. Many MCC constituents have questions about tl1e Fund Raising efforts needed for the Alliance. Many MCC presidents have extensive experience in fund development and do not believe that it is possible to raise $10 million in private monies for operational costs. They also question the effect of raising operational money upon future efforts needed to raise money for Alliance programs. MCC staff recommends that the Alliance Formation subcommittees proceed to conduct a feasibility study prior to the MCC resolution to join the Alliance. Another option is for the MCC Resolution to be contingent on the acceptable results of the feasibility study. Fund Management and Politicization 7. MCC constituents appreciate the concern stated by VCM that the Alliance fund not be placed in a State Trust Fund in order to avoid future political or legislative control and manipulation. MCC recommends that legal advice on fund management be sought. BENEFITS Opportunity to participate in the creation of an innovative state level organization to promote and increase partnerships in service and civic responsibility in Michigan. Steps must be taken however, to create a new organizational structure based on the successes and challenges of the MNA umbrella organization. If successful, the new structure should support and provide a model of collaboration, consensus-based decision-making, and non-hierarchical structure for local community partnerships across .the state of Michigan. Possibility of additional staff. However, MCC staff notes that guidelines for the use of shared staff be established to insure that administrative staffing is balanced. MCC has great need for additional staff, but it may be able to achieve this goal with its own membership monies and external grants. If MCC hires an additional staff from its membership funds, it proposes that the level of Alliance administrative funding be correspondingly reduced. S:\WINWORD\COMMITIE\Alliance Committee\MCC Concerns and Benefits.doc 2 �The Alliance: Concerns and Benefits presented by VCM Advisory Council and Staff March 2, 2000 CONCERNS: l. VCM Identity: as the network of Volunteer Centers grows, it is imperative that VCM maintain its neutrality, and its role as a state and national leader in supporting the Centers: • VCM will adapt its affiliation agreement (currently held with MNA), and will include a release clause. If at any time the identity/mission is being compromised and resolution is not made, VCM maintains the right to leave the Alliance with all of its respective programs and services with guarantee of non-duplication by the Alliance. • VCM will actively pursue the appointment of a VCM representative to the Michigan Community Service Commission. 2. Politicization: to avoid politicization of the organization and the field ofvolunteerism within the state: • Endowment funds must be held in a private (community) foundation rather than a State Trust fund • Although State funds are supporting this initiative, the Endowment fund must not be named after any current political office holder, but after a mutually agreed upon historical champion of volunteerism and community service (i.e. Romney, Mawby). 3. Volunteerism SuperConference: it is agreed that the management and coordination of the Volunteerism SuperConference should remain with MNA under the realm of training and technical assistance, provided: • The Alliance and Volunteer Centers of Michigan maintain significant representation on the Planning Committee; • The Alliance and Volunteer Centers of Michigan be acknowledged as conference partners. 4. Staffing: In order to ensure the growth and enhancement of programs, demonstrating a significant "value added" to the State as a result of this entity, VCM recommends the following: • A minimum of two project managers and one full-time support staff be added to the proposed organizational chart • The opportunity to involve college interns for the development of marketing materials and special programs be considered and included in the budget. BENEFITS (to VCM Network): l. Increased staff= increased support: the availability oftwo full-time program staff focused solely on support to existing and developing centers would significantly increase our local service and impact, allowing for a stronger, larger, more effective network. 2. Improved communication: centralizing state progranuning related to volunteerism (Make A Difference Day, ConnectMichigan, National Volunteer Week, etc) will create a much cleaner flow of information and simplify participation and reporting processes for all parties. 1 �3. Perpetuity: sustainable funding will ensure the life of the organization, allowing a greater degree of strategic planning and visioning for volunteer center growth and support services. BENEFITS (to field): I. Non-duplication of service: significant savings of staff time and financial resources will be· achieved by streamlining programs at the state level. 2. Sustained funding for volunteer initiatives: significant growth (qualitative and quantitative) will be achieved with staff focus being directed toward programming rather than survival of the organization. 3. Opportunity for additional collaborative partnerships: the proposed mission and purpose of the Alliance allows the addition of other collaborative partnerships (formal and informal, internal and external) in the continued development of the state service infrastructure. 4. Innovation in nonprofit management (model): the opportunity to model local collaborations and affiliations after this innovative model will be an additional contribution that reaches beyond the field of volunteerism and can influence a significant number of · community partnerships. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Alliance will initially consist of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) and the ConnectMichigan Campaign Partners. VCM and MCC will be permanently housed with in the Alliance along with a number of programs and fundings sources' cutTently housed in the MCSC and MNA. MCSC, VCM, MCC and MNA are permanent member of the Alliance. The graphic in Appendix 1 illustrates the changes (see Appendix 1). Essentially, the MCSC and MNA will modify their cutTen! respective functions to ensure that they are not competing and are executing support functions for the field that are effective and efficient. The Alliance will be established as a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization comprised a board of directors consisting of not more than six members nominated and approved by the Alliance partner organizations. An executive director will be appointed by the board of directors and will serve at the will of the board. The executive director will be charged to handle all day to day operations of the Alliance under the supervision of the board of directors. Need There is a need to avoid competition. There is a need to build effeciencies. There is a need to build autonomy for the programmatic, promotional and advocacy elements of the field of volunteerism. · Solution Spin off those elements that do not target, operationalize and capitalize on the core missions of MCSC and MNA. MCSC is a grant maker that incubates innovative and sustainable volunteer programs. MNA is an membership association that advocates and provides services to Michigan's nonprofit organizations Advantages Never before in the history of the two organizations has the timing been right economically and �---- -- -----~-------·- --'-'--~- --- _ _ _l_~f-~!10- ·:'q!:~_ -- - -- -----------· ____ ro,_ooo ~ _ _ 5lOOO j)lcJ, 000 _ -:_ '17, ,:·~.---- oo_O _ --------------------- . ---~ ------- ------------~· --------------- -- n ----------L~-- --- -- - - __ 1-f!lg_(Q --~-· ----- - - - - - - - - - -ccg., -. tl' £~~ ~ - - - - - - - - - ----------- - - - - - - - ----- ----- __, - - - - --~~--------- ----- ---------~---_-------~--- •---tKLz_o_QQ ___ �.... ···-----·---·-- ·--··- ··-·-···-· - -··- ···-····-··· - - - - - - - - - - - --·--· -·-----------····- - - - - - T . -----·---·-·· jl . . . ---· ·---- · · - - - - - - - - - - - . --.:L.:=.~~:==------·····-------·;i - -·-- ··-------··- ·- ··-···-----· I "i ·------···--. . ·- ··- .... - =- _:r-·--· ___ - --·- -- 'I -~·· ---·- . -· ·-···-·-· -- . ----- �Volunteer Alliance (5 member board incorporated by MNA and MCSC) MNA MCSC • National Service • VCM • K-12 Service Learning • AmeriCorps • • • • • Grantmaker Role • Learn And Serve • • • • • • Public Policy • Technical Assistance MCC Romney Fund Governor's Service Award • Member Services Volunteerism Clearinghouse ConnectMichigan • Research National Volunteer Week -Volnateer InvestmeRt Grants " Venture Grants Make A Difference Day � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Kyle �The Michigan Volunteer Alliance "The Alliance" An Overview Prepared by the Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission, the Michigan Nonprofit Association, and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan Draft -- June 21, 2000 Purpose: The purpose of "The Alliance" is to centralize and stabilize state-level, volunteer and community service programming efforts in a manner that ensures: • long-term sustainability of volunteer efforts in Michigan, • cost efficiencies through shared resources; and • improved support services to Michigan communities through expanded programs and funding initiatives. As part of an unique public/private joint venture, "The Alliance" will administer programming and technical assistance currently administered by the Michigan Nonprofit Association and its affiliates (Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact) and the Michigan Community Service Commission. "The Alliance" will continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. A private endowment, funded through public and private sources, will be created to support "The Alliance" which will ensure its long-term stability. As the state's premiere volunteer and community service 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, "The Alliance" will consolidate the programmatic and administrative functions of the four partnering organizations thereby reducing or eliminating duplication of efforts, consolidating and maximizing financial and human resources, and uniting the state's volunteer and community service leadership (see working committee list attached). Funding: A total of $20 million in endowment funds would be established with the corpus comprised of two funding streams: • State: The State of Michigan made a one-time investment of $10 million toward an endowment to continue its commitment to volunteerism as a community problem solving mechanism in the state. This endowment would be managed by a private or community foundation (new or existing) and would generate approximately $250,000 to $500,000 annually that would be allocated directly to "The Alliance" for administrative and program funding. • Private: An additional $10 million would be leveraged in match funds to the State contribution which would be placed into the same private or community foundation endowment fund. This additional $250,000 to $500,000 in interest income would enhance "The Alliance" budget in Year two of its existence, bringing the annual budget of $ 1 million for support of the state's premiere volunteer organizations and initiatives. 1 �Background: In the past decade, Michigan has seen the development of a number of statewide volunteer support organizations that have been focusing on the promotion, support and advancement of volunteerism and community service. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution institutions of higher education were making to their communities. A few months later, a small group of community based volunteer centers began the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). A year later, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) (known then as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum) was developed to enhance the understanding of the nonprofit sector including the advancement of philanthropy and volunteerism. Finally in 1991, newly elected Governor John Engler created the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and in 1994, the Michigan Legislature codified the MCSC in state law (PA219). Over the years, all four organizations have worked collaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the MNA. These partnerships have strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in immense administrative savings. In addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of all three organizations have been enhanced by this unique partnership. Recently, the MNA (and its affiliates) and the MCSC have made a concerted effort for a more intentional and effective partnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged by "outside influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding the need for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary motivating factors - the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; and the potential changes in federal programs that support volunteerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more effective as a unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that some activities/functions MUST remain separate - again, for the greater good of the field. What seems to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common functions of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus. "The Alliance" will be that neutral third entity. �Michigan Volunteer Alliance Working Group Higher Education Nonprofits Michigan Campus Compact Michigan Nonprofit Association Dr. Leonard Plachta, President Central Michigan University Chair of the Michigan Campus Compact Ms. Anne Rosewarne, President Michigan Health Council Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Michigan Nonprofit Association Amy Smitter, Interim Director Michigan Campus Compact State Government Michigan Community Service Commission Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director Michigan Community Service Commission Dr. Edward O.

I have been requested to gather information that will best represent VCM and local Centers in this campaign. The info will be used in the initial case statement design, as well as helping document local impact if we pursue funding from a specific community. (Rest assured, if we are coming to your community, you WILL have advance notice!!! This message has been heard loud and clear!) WHAT WE NEED are any numbers you have regarding your local impact. Included in this could be number of volunteers referred, folks recruited for large scale events, companies involved in corporate volunteer programs, placements through court-referrals, etc. (Monaghan has referred to them as "outcomes" -I think we refer to them as "outputs".) They said the numbers are what corporate/private funders will want to see. If you have additional anecdotal information, that will be helpful-l'd like to put a "face" with the numbers. I don't have any set format for you to follow- if you have annual reports, grant reports you've submitted, etc. Any info that will give them data they can use to sell the campaign will be helpful. As I'll be out of the office, please send your info via fax or mail (as quickly as you can!) to the attention of Tim or Rosalie here at MNA. They'll try to assemble it into some intelligible form for Monaghan. I know this is a short time-line, and I'd appreciate anything you can do to help us out here. In the long run, VCM will be the better for itl If you have any questions, call Rosalie at 888/242-7075. Fax is 517/355-3302, email is prosalie@pilot.msu.edu. Thank you!

At this point in our planning many questions remain to be asked, let alone answered. I hope you find the following useful as you prepare for our meeting on the 30th (you may already have some of these documents). A: B: C: D: E: F: Alliance Overview Alliance Mission and Goals, Programs and Services Alliance (Internal) State Challenge Announcement Michigan Campus Compact Discussion (responses to presidents questions during exploration process) MCC and VCM Mission Statements Past and Present MNA Board Members (we do not have a historical database for all Board members ... we are working on identifYing those not currently listed) The following are some random thoughts you may find helpful: "Alliance" Campaign-- $20,000,000 • • $10,000,000 allocated by the State for endowment purposes in the form of a $1:$1 challenge/match $10,000,000 advanced from private sources including foundations, corporations, organizations and individuals.

The Michigan Campus Compact was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution institutions of higher education were making to their communities. A few months later, a small group of community based volunteer centers began the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. A year later, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (known then as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum) was developed to enhance the understanding of the nonprofit sector including the advancement of philanthropy and volunteerism. Finally in 1991, newly elected Governor John Engler created by Executive Order the Michigan Community Service Commission. Over the years, all four organizations have worked collaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the Michigan Nonprofit Association. These partnerships have strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in inunense administrative savings. In addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of all three organizations have been enhanced by this unique partnership. Under new leadership, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (and it's affiliates) and the Michigan Community Service Commission have made a concerted effort for more intentional and effective partnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged by "outside influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding the need for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary motivators - the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; and potential changes in federal programs that support volunteerism -lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more effective as a unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that some activities/functions MUST remain separate- again, for the greater good of the field. What seems to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common functions ofMNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus. This conceptual organization, unofficially dubbed "The Alliance" for purposes of conversation, has received a great deal of support from sector leaders and partner organizations, and the official stages of planning have begun. Purpose: The purpose of "The Alliance" is to centralize state-level, volunteer and service programming efforts in a manner that ensures long-term sustainability. Initially, "The Alliance" would administer programming and technical assistance currently administered by MNA, VCM, MCC, and MCSC. "The Alliance" would continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. An endowment fund would be created to support '"The Alliance," which would secure its existence into perpetuity. �Funding: The current vision is to secure $20 million in endowment funds, which would consist of two funding streams: • State: It is being proposed that the State of Michigan create a $10 million endowment to continue their commitment to volunteerism in our state. This endowment would be managed by a private foundation (new or existing) and would generate approximately $500,000 annually that would be allocated directly to "The Alliance" for administrative and program funding. • Private: An additional $10 million would be sought in match funds to the State endowment, which would be placed into the private endowment. This additional $500,000 income would be expected to enhance ''The Alliance" budget in Year Two of its existence, bringing the annual budget to $1 million.

Internal Announcement- State Allocation �FAX MEMORANDUM TO: MNA Board of Trustees FROM: Anne Rosewarne, Chair Sam Singh, President DATE: June 22, 2000 SUBJECT: Alliance Endowment On behalf of the Alliance Working Group, we are proud to announce the securing of the public funds for the Alliance Endowment. Late yesterday, the Michigan Legislature officially approved the $10 million in state funds for the Volunteer Alliance. Now the bill (part of a large supplemental budget bill - SB #0968) moves to the Governor's Office for his signature. The funds could be available by September 2000. The Alliance Work Group has completed a tremendous amount of work including developing articles of incorporation and bylaws for the Alliance. At the next meeting, the group will adopt the articles and bylaws that will begin the codification processes. The group will also begin to develop the fund raising strategy for the portion of the endowment represented by private sector contributions. This is a tremendous accomplishment and one of which we can all be truly proud. Still there is much more that we need to do to establish the Alliance, including successfully completing a campaign for the second half of the $20 million endowment. Special thanks to the members of the Alliance Work Group and staff of the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Community Service Commission for their tireless efforts in this process. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sam at 517/353-5038. We look forward to seeing you at the September 19, 2000 board meeting. S:\WINWORD\COMM~ Coounittee\Boud memo 062200 $10 mill for Allian<:e.doo �D: MCC Questions and Answers �1. .MCC MISSION AND IDENTITY How will the "ALLIANCE" preserve the mission and the identity ofMichigan Campus Compact as an organization dedicated to encouraging and supporting community service and service-learning within Institutions ofhigher education In the state ofMichigan? The ongoing discussions regarding the strategic alliance between the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) have revolved around the central theme of creating an organization that supports a lifelong ethic towards service and volunteerism. The new entity is also charged with maintaining the separate and distinct missions of VCM and MCC. A committee of representatives from MCC, VCM, MNA, and MCSC has been meeting over the past few months to discuss the mission, goals, and objectives of an organization that has been loosely called the "ALLIANCE". The committee; with support from the staff of the four organizations, has created the following mission statement and goals statements for the "ALLIANCE". "The mission of the "ALLIANCE" Is to promote and strengthen a life-long ethic ofand commitment to service, volunteerlsm, and civic engagement. To achieve this mission, the "ALLIANCE" will set goals In each of the following areas: • • • The "ALLIANCE" will engage In and promote community-based problem solving models that effoctively assess local needs and address them. The "ALLIANCE" will use strategies to educate, raise public awareness, and Increase the efficacy and benefits ofVolunteerism, and Service-Learning as two types ofcommunity and civic engagement experiences that support local problem solving. The "ALLIANCE" will encourage and develop collaborative partnerships that build on the expertise and strengths of the partners that share mutually beneficial resources. In the establishment ofthe "ALLIANCE" betweenMNA andMCSC, It Is affirmed that the existing mission statements ofMCC and VCM shall be maintained and supported. Michigan Campus Compact The mission ofMichigan Campus Compact (MCC) Is to promote a commitment to community service and to foster a life-long service ethic In students. Specifically, MCC seeks to create or expand community service and service-learning opportunities for students while promoting academic and co-curricular programs and to advocate for public policies that encourage and support student community service. Volunteer Centers ofMichigan The mission ofVolunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM) Is to strengthen existing volunteer centers, to provide leadership In developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerlsm statewide. " It is the intent of the committee to create an umbrella organization that will adequately house VCM, MCC, and the programs of MCSC. MCC will retain its independent S;\WINWORD\COMMrrilMiliance Conunittec\Answers to MCC Presidents questioN doc �identity, continuing to use its name and logo, while adding a tagline, "affiliated with the "ALLIANCE"." The model for insuring an independent MCC mission and identity is similar to the one developed by the MCC Council of Presidents in 1995 with their affiliation with MNA. 2. GOVERNING AUTHORITY OF MCC How will the "ALLIANCE" preserve the governing authority of the MCC Council of Presidents and its determination of budgetary matters, programmatic decisions, and fimdraising? What/eve/ ofrepresentation will MCC have on the governing board of the "ALLIANCE"? It is proposed that MCC will continue the same governing structure that has been developed and nurtured under the affiliation agreement between MCC and MNA in 1995. The organization, the "ALLIANCE", will have a twelve-member board of trustees. Each of the four founding organizations (MNA, MCC, VCM, and MCSC) will designate three delegates from their own membership to serve on the "ALLIANCE" Board of Trustees. This provides for equal participation from each of the founding organizations. Under this scenario, the voice ofMCC is much stronger than under the current affiliated relationship with MNA, which provides MCC three permanent seats on a board of directors of 40 individuals. As is the case under the affiliated arrangement with MNA, MCC's Council of Presidents is instrumental in setting the policy, program goals and objectives, to utilize to continue the excellent fundraising efforts that we have seen over the past five years. MCC is not an incorporated entity, nor does it have a 50l(c)(3) status, nor a license to solicit from the Attorney General. From its inception, MCC has been hosted by another entity such as Michigan State University or MNA. Because it does not have an official legal entity, it has always utilized the charitable status and legal status of either host institution. Because of that fact, MNA has assumed the responsibilities as fiduciary agent on behalf ofMCC. It is proposed that the "ALLIANCE" will serve in the same capacity as is currently being provided by MNA. 3. FUNDRAISING How wil/fondraislngfor the member organizations of the "ALLIANCE" be determined and conducted? Under the current arrangement, MNA, MCC, and VCM annually develop a budget and corresponding fund development plan for the following fiscal year. Based on the budget and the fund development plans, MNA has utilized the Fund Development Director and other staff to secure funds for all three organizations. The fundraising has been a joint initiative of the MCC Director, MCC Presidents, and MNA staff. As opportunities arise that are not part of the annual fund development plan, they are examined on a case by· case basis and the appropriate staff is delegated to securing the funds. For example, MCC President, Alan Stone, has been quite successful in securing numerous grant opportunities for MCC that were not part of the fund development plan. MCC and MNA staff has appropriately followed up on these requests to capture these opportunities. It is proposed tliat the "ALLIANCE" will serve in the same capacity as is currently being provided by MNA. �4. FUNDS ALLOCATION AND MANAGEMENT How will the fonds of the "ALLIANCE", i.e., those generated from the "ALLIANCE" Endowment and/or Building Revenue, be allocated? Moreover, how will both the endowment fonds and MCC membership dues be managed -jointly or separately? To what degree will the MCC Council ofPresidents and the MCC Executive Director be involved in the management ofMCC fonds? It is proposed that each of the directors of the "ALLIANCE" will present their annual budget to the President and CEO of the "ALLIANCE", who will utilize that infonnation to fonnally submit a budget to the "ALLIANCE" Board of Directors. In the proposed bylaws of the "ALLIANCE", each annual year budget needs to be approved by twothirds of the Board of Directors. The committee and staff have stated opposition to fonnula funding not wanting to bind future Board of Trustees. Grants and membership dues that are specifically eannarked for MCC will be part of the MCC department budget and will be used specifically for those tasks that resources have been eannarked for. We propose that all the funds of the organization be held in one bank account. Having one account will provide the organization with appropriate resources to deal with cash flow issues. Because of the sophistication of accounting software, the "ALLIANCE" will be able to provide a thorough accounting of the dollars that have been allocated towards MCC and their corresponding expenses. The MCC Executive Director will be held accountable for the funds that are allocated to their department. But the overall accountability of the financial situation ofMCC and the "ALLIANCE" shall fall on shoulders of the "ALLIANCE" President and CEO. It is anticipated that the "ALLIANCE" Board of Trustees will hold the management of all funds of the organi?.ation. · 5. SUPERVISION OF STAFF Who will have supervisory authority of the MCC Executive Director and other staff? Moreover, what formula will be used to determine the time base ofthe "ALLIANCE" shared staff, Including the fond developer, special event coordinator, and clerical support? What measures will be taken to insure that adequate support and expenditure oftime on MCC activities Is regularly maintained? · Under the model of staff arrangement under the "ALLIANCE", MCC, through the endowment funds, will be able to fund an Executive Director, the MCC Manager, a graduate assistant, and one support staff. The MCC Director will be the sole supervisor of the three staff members in their department. As is under the affiliated relationship with MNA, the MCC Director reports to the President and CEO, as well as to the MCC Council of Presidents. That same type of relationship will be proposed under this structure. Because MCC does not have legal standing, it is imperative that the "ALLIANCE" President and CEO supervise the day-today operations of the MCC Executive Director. As the history between MNA and MCC has shown, the supervision of the MCC Director and hiring of the MCC Director is essentially a joint project between the MCC Executive Committee and the President and CEO. For example, in the past transition ofMCC Director, the MCC Executive Committee and the MNA Board President interviewed candidates and jointly came to a selection of Dr. Peggy Hashemipour. �All shared staff will report directly to the President and CEO of the "ALLIANCE". An annual work plan will be developed for the shared staff in consultation with the MCC and VCM directors. 6. RIGHT TO WITHDRAW What guarantees will be instituted to insure that Michigan Campus Compact may choose to change its relationship or withdraw from the "ALliANCE"? It is proposed in the bylaws of the "ALLIANCE" that any of the founding organizations may elect to remove themselves from the "ALLIANCE". Proposed Bylaw Language "Any of the Founding Trustee organizations (MCC, MNA, MCSC, and VCM) may choose to withdraw at anytime from the "ALLIANCE" upon a majority affirmative vote of their governing board. All assets assigned to the withdrawing organization prior to the initial forming of the Corporation will be transferred from the Corporation to the withdrawing entity in a timely fashion. Any and all endowment principal and interest assigned to the "ALLIANCE" shall remain the property of the "ALLIANCE"."
