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 tmly 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.

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. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Section 3. Expenses of Successful Defense. To the extent that a person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 or 2 of this article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter in the action, suit or proceeding, the person shall be indemnified against expenses (including actual and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding and in any action, suit or proceeding brought to enforce the mandatory indemnification provided by this article.

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 FonlUl) 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 mid· 1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the Michigan Nonprofit Association. TI1ese 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 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 contlnuesto 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 an\! developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary motivators • the need to provide well-rounded s1,1pport services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; add 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 progranlllling efforts in a manner that ensures long-term sustainabi!ity. Initially, "TI1e 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: • ~ 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. Activity to Date • Jnne 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 Executive Committee for feedback. • October/November 1999- Administrative and program stn1cturc is finalized, fund development plan outlined. • November 1999 -Acquire legal feedback on the process. • December 2000 -Plan is presented for preliminary approval to MCSC, MNA, VCM and MCC. • January 2000- MNA chair and President meet with Governor Engler and MCSC staff to discuss the State's role in the creation of the Alliance. • January 2000-MNA Executive Committee meets and empowers staff to start researching the options for the endowment and fund development plans. • January 2000- A committee of board members from MCC, VCM, MNA and MCSC is formed to start negotiations. • February 2000 -Committee meets and charges staff to present a common mission and goal statements for the Alliance. • March 2000- Committee meets for second time and endorses the mission statement and goals and charges staff to develop a timeline, staff structure, bylaws and board development for their April meeting. • March 2000-Meet with MNA Board of Trustees, VCM Operating Cmmcil and MCC's Programming and Planning Committee to discuss progress and address concerns. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Welcome and Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by Chairperson A. Rosewarne at 9:15a.m. 2. President's Report: S. Singh gave an overview of his meeting on 1/12/00 with Governor Engler regarding the proposed Volunteer Alliance. Per S. Singh, Governor Engler has indicated his strong support for the Volunteer Alliance concept and his willingness to secure state funds. S. Singh noted that he believes Governor Engler is operating in the interest of preserving individual programs of the Michigan Community Service Commission that have proven to be effective. S. Singh believes Governor Engler is very willing to find the resources for the 1:1 match for the Volunteer Alliance. The committee went on to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of setting the money up in either a trust fund managed by a community foundation, or the State of Michigan trust department (noting that leaving the money in a governmental agency might lead to negative perceptions by the public), or a newly created foundation. S. Singh noted that Governor Engler has indicated that it may be easier to leverage state funds if the funds were to go into a state-managed trust fund. S. Singh noted that Governor Engler expressly stated his desire that the government be unable to interfere with the Volunteer Alliance. A. Rosewarne provided a similar overview of this same meeting. · E. Blews suggested that a government trust fund might have more restrictions on interest rates than a nonprofit entity would. K. Rossow asked if donors to the trust fund would get the same tax credits as those who donate to a community foundation. S.. Singh replied that they would not get the same state tax benefits, but they would get the same federal tax benefits. E. Blews noted that money in a government trust fund is more than likely subject to future government manipulation. P. Hashemipour requested an evaluation of trust funds vs. community foundations before a fmal decision is made. G. Stevens stated that a main concern is the ability of the Volunteer Alliance to stay neutral if endowment funds were administered by the state. He also suggested exploring the possibility of a new foundation on the state level that would allow for tax benefits yet is able to maintain its neutrality. S. Singh replied that the idea of a new foundation had already been discussed with the Council of Michigan Foundations, and whileS. Singh feels it is p<>ssible, it would create a cumbersome level of administration and costs. S. Singh noted that assets in a community foundation, however, would be owned by the Volunteer Alliance and an existing community foundation has professionals who can make well- �informed investments. S. Singh concluded that the benefits of an existing vs. a new foundation are about the same. G. Stevens noted the legislature might be more likely to put money into a new foundation than an existing one. E. Blews stated the need seek legal counsel at this point for more advice. A. Rosewarne commented that an additional area of concern is the potential negative perceptions donors might have in giving to a government-managed trust. S. Singh gave an account of MCSC's activities regarding the Volunteer Alliance up to this point. Discussion ensued surrounding the advisability of seeking joint counsel to research issues relevant to the Volunteer Alliance. S. Singh has had conversations with Ralph Rumsey, an attorney based in Ann Arbor. G. Stevens noted that it would be helpful if a subset of the Executive Committee met with an attorney to discuss issues. S. Singh reminded the committee that in order to meet the 1:1 match, we will also need to hire someone to administer a professional endowment campaign. Per conversations S. ~ingh has had with CMF and others, raising the money will be a time intensive task, but not impossible. S. Singh asked the committee if MNA should seek joint counsel or hire separate counsel. E. Blews noted the importance of eliminating the possibility of any conflict of interest before hiring joint counsel. E. Blews suggested retaining our own counsel and assuming a reactive position to other counsel's activities, allowing them to do the bulk of the work. G. Stevens noted the existence of a model (Michigan Economic Development Corporation), which could provide examples of how a department can move out of direct governmental control. The Executive Committee authorized MNA staff to begin seeking independent counsel. L. Plachta noted that legal consideration should also be provided at the individual agency level of MCC and VCM. S. Singh replied that legal counsel will actually be procured in the interests of MCC and VCM and not MNA, as MNA itself will not be part of the Volunteer Alliance. E. Blews noted it was important that our counsel considers the interests of all three organizations (MNA, MCC, VCM). G. Stevens suggested that all further paperwork regarding the Volunteer Alliance be marked "ProposalK or some might believe the Volunteer Alliance has already been approved by the Board and is underway. 3. Volunteer Alliance: S. Singh provided an overview of the Volunteer Alliance to date. G. Stevens noted that a subset of the Executive Committee should be created so they may be involved in the Volunteer Alliance process from the beginning. Appointed to the subcommittee were L. Plachta (representing MCC), K. Rossow (representing VCM), E. Blews, G. Stevens, J. King and A. Rosewame. E. Blews requested that MNA's CEO (S. Singh) serve as an exofficio members of the subcommittee. S. Singh and A. Rosewarne plan to discuss adding other members to the subcommittee at a later date. T. Swope provided an overview detailing MNA's approach to raising money for the 1:1 match. T. Swope also noted that campaigns that hire independent counsel tend to be more successful. S. Singh asked if MNA staff should begin dialogue with fundraising professionals, while keeping in mind that MNA can back out of the proposed Volunteer Alliance at any pqint. S. Singh noted that MNA is better positioned than MCSC to find private dollars, adding that if MNA is only able to raise a small amount, the budget would need to be reworked. S. Singh expressed confidence that MNA could raise at least $5 million right now. E. Blews stated the need to make it clear to our members that MNA is searching for new dollars and not taking 2 �dollars away from our members. A. Rosewarne asked how MNA should search for a fundraising professional. T. Swope answered that he would begin a search process, starting with reCommendations from CMF. S. Singh asked if MNA and MCSC should jointly hlre fund raising personnel in order to save costs. K. Rossow asked if a community foundation has been targeted to house the money. S. Singh replied that while dialogue has taken place with a community foundation (Lansing), there has been no commitment to invest funds there. The intent of the dialogue has been to research the feasibility of investing funds with a community foundation. G. Stevens moved to begin process of hiring a fund raising professional. L. Plachta seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 4. 5. Space Allocation: S. Singh provided an overview of his recent conversation with Bob Church at Michigan State University, noting that MNA is being requested to move out of the Kellogg Center in the next 18-24 months due to MSU's need for more office space. S. Singh remarked that the creation of the Volunteer Alliance would lessen administrative costs and improve MNA's budget. K. Rossow asked if fund raising for a new building would be separate from the allocation for the Volunteer Alliance or included in it. S. Singh felt that some of the money can be allocated to building costs and not all the money needs to go into the endowment (for example, the Kresge Foundation is more likely to give to a capital campaign). A. Rosewarne suggested that as meetings progress, MNA staff send broadcast faxes to the entire MNA Board in order to keep them updated. Referring to the FERA report, L. Plachta asked if MNA should proceed to work on our public image in order to pave the way to raising the money. T. Swope responded that such an effort could make a considerable difference. T. Swope also noted that keeping the MNA Board updated, involved, and supportive will help fundraising efforts. Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 11:03 a.m. 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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: o 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: · o Endowment funds must be held in a private (community) foundation rather than a State Trust fund o 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 ofvolunteerism and community service (i.e. Romney, Mawby). ~. 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): I. Increased staff= increased support: the availability of two 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 part1c1pauon and reporting processes for all parties . .1 �Currently MCC coordinates many programs, events, resources, and grants with a limited staff. At the direction iJf the MCC Chair, MCC staff will not assume additional tasks. Thus there is concern about the staffing of the MCSC programs tl>at will come into the Alliance. The proposed level of staffing for the Alliance is inadequate. i\ICC recommends that the lime 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/Is needs. If// 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 reports) to the Alliance Board; and the number ofMCC and VCM constituents on the Alliance Board and those from MCSC and MNA. Fund Development 6. Many MCC constituents have questions about the 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 S10 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 ofthe feasibility study. Fund Management and Politlcization 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/ega/ 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. 8:\WINWORD\COMMIITEWli&ncc Committee\MCC Concerns wd !knttib.doc 2 �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 \viii 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 progranuning 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.

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 o Trust fund Although State fimds are supporting this initiative, the Endowment fund must not be o 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 o the Planning Committee; The Alliance and Volunteer Centers of Michigan be acknowledged as conference o 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 o proposed organizational chart The opportunity to involve college interns for the development of marketing materials o and special programs be considered and included in the budget. BENEFITS (to VCM Network): 1. Increased staff= increased support: the availability of two fitll-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 programming 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 stmtegic planning and visioning for volunteer center growth and support services. BENEFITS (to field): 1. 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 infrastmcture. 4. Innovation in nonprofit management (model): the opportunity to model local collaborations and affiliations after tllis itmovative model will be an additional contribution that reaches beyond the field of volunteerism and can influence a significant number of community partnerships. 2 �The Alliance: Concerns and Benefits presented by VCM Advisory Council and Staff March 2, 2000 CONCERNS: 1.
