Creation of George W. Romney Fund for Volunteerism in Michigan
Announced
The Volunteer Centers ofMichigan and the Michigan Nonprofit Forum announced today
the creation of the George W. Romney Fund to increase and improve volunteerism in
Michigan. The fund, named after Michigan's former governor, will distribute funds on an
annual basis to benefit local volunteer centers and innovative volunteer programming
throughout Michigan.
Romney was recognized nationally as a leader in the volunteerism movement. He was the
founder of the National Volunteer Center, served as a founding trustee of the Points of
Light Foundation and the Michigan Nonprofit Forum as well as spearheading the
development of a number ofvolunteer centers in Michigan. Three years ago Romney, in
collaboration with Michigan's first lady Michelle Engler and former first lady Janet
Blanchard, started the Michigan Campaign for Volunteerism, an initiative to increase the
number of volunteers in Michigan and to strengthen Michigan's volunteer centers. Since
that campaign was initiated the number of volunteer centers in Michigan has grown from
nine to twenty-seven.
The Volunteer Centers ofMichigan and the Michigan Nonprofit Forum have set a goal for
the Romney Fund of$1 .5 million dollars. Investment return from the endowed fund will
be used annually for initiatives to increase and enhance volunteerism and service in
Michigan. $750,000 of the fund will be earmarked for local endowments for Michigan's
volunteer centers. Each volunteer center will be expected to match the Romney Fund
endowment with local funds on a one to one basis within a three year period. The
remaining $750,000 of the fund will be used to fund model initiatives and program
innovations that increase or enhance volunteerism in Michigan.
The Volunteer Centers ofMichigan is a statewide coalition ofMichigan's Volunteer
Centers. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum is an alliance of nonprofit organizations that
promotes giving, volunteering, and a strong, effective nonprofit sector in Michigan.
Organizations and individuals interested in making contributions to the George W.
Romney Fund for Volunteerism should call the Michigan Nonprofit Forum office at
517/353-5038 .

1.
Welcome and Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by Chairperson
H. Philpott at 1:05 p.m.
2.
Review of Minutes [Tab 1]: The minutes of the January 25, 1995, meeting were
approved as printed and distributed.
3.
Report on the Affiliation with Michigan Campus Compact [Tab 2]: D. Egner reported
on the progress of the MNF/MCC affiliation agreement. As of March 1, 1995, D.
Egner has been serving as interim director of MCC. The search for a director of MCC
has been extended through May to recruit more candidates for the position. Interviews
will be conducted in mid-June with the goal of having someone on board by early July.
He also reported that MNF received a $950,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation for the operation of MNF/MCC/VCM to be paid over the next four years.
4.
Proposed Bylaws Amendments [Tab3]: H. Philpott reviewed the proposed
amendments to Article III, section 1 and 2; Article V, section la and li; and Article
IV, section 1 of the MNF bylaws. These changes will allow: Michigan Campus
Compact Operating Council to have three representatives serve as At-Large Trustees on
the MNF Board of Trustees and one of the three MCC At-Large Trustees to serve on
the MNF Executive Committee; amend name changes of two permanent associations,
�the Michigan Jewish Conference (formerly Michigan Jewish Council) and the Michigan
Health and Hospital Association (formerly Michigan Hospital Association); and change
officers terms from one year to two years and elect officers bi-annually. The proposed
changes were passed unanimously.
5.
Executive Director's Report: D. Egner reported on MNF's work over the last year.
The focus of MNF's efforts have included the development of a retirement program,
conducting a statewide membership drive and developing new member services,
planning the Grantmakers/Grantseekers conference, maintaining the affiliation with the
Volunteer Centers of Michigan and creating a new affiliation with the Michigan
Campus Compact. He referred to MNF's 1994-95 year as a rollercoaster ride and
projected 1995-96 to be the year of completing unfinished business and developing a
level of stability for the organization.
6.
Nonprofit Retirement Program [Tab 5]: G. Keidel reviewed the work of the retirement
committee. He reported that the Michigan Health and Hospital Association has agreed
to join in partnership with MNF to develop the MNF retirement program. The
partnership with MHA offers a way to cut costs considerably for the program and
would remove a third party company to serve as the record keeper, since MHA has the
capability of providing this service. The partnership with MHA has raised some
questions for Fidelity Mutual that are currently being reviewed and will be addressed.
The program is expected to be fully operational by January 1, 1996.
7.
Nominating Committee Report [Tab 4]: Sr. Monica Kostielney outlined the
nomination and membership election process that was followed to fill the five At-Large
trustee positions. Candidates for the positions included Virgil Carr, Rob Collier,
Michelle Engler, Dennis Marvin, and Mark Wilson. The MNF trustees confirmed the
appointment of the 5 candidates as At-J^arge trustees as selected by the MNF
membership. Sr. Monica Kostieleny thanked her committee for all their hard work in
completing this process. She expressed gratitude to out-going board members
Michael Payne, Nancy Beukema and Tom Washington for their service on the board.
8.
Member Services Report: D. Clarke reviewed current MNF member services and
updated the board on new services under consideration. Based on results from MNF's
member survey conducted earlier this year, discounts on office supplies and car rentals
are being researched. Also in response to the member survey, MNF is working to
develop a partnership with Gifts in Kind America to establish a technology
clearinghouse for members. The partnership would allow MNF to provided recycled
and refurbished computers to members. D. Clarke also reviewed the potential addition
of a nonprofit job classified service. MNF has had discussions with Opportunity
NOC's, a San Francisco based organization that sells classified franchises. MNF plans
to meet with Opportunity NOC's in mid-June and will report its findings to the board.
�9.
Volunteer Centers of Michigan Report: A. Cantrell reported on VCM's annual retreat
hosted on March 16 and 17 at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing. The two day retreat
consisted of strategic planning for growing and strengthening volunteer centers, as well
as a professional development segment on outcome based evaluations. The next
meeting of the VCM operating council is scheduled for mid-July. A formal review of
the MNF/VCM affiliation agreement will be conducted at that time. A. Cantrell's
preliminary feedback on the affiliation indicated that he was happy with the
arrangement and very excited about the leadership that D. Egner and S. Singh have
provided on behalf of VCM.
Governor Romney reported on MNF's efforts to resurrect the Michigan Campaign for
Volunteerism. He also reviewed the possibility of MNF co-hosting a summit on
volunteerism, government, business and nonprofits with the Michigan Community
Service Commission (MCSC). MNF and MCSC are working to develop a proposal
outlining the specific guidelines of the summit. The proposal will be submitted in late
June or July to Governor Engler for his review and decision.
10.
Finance Committee Report [Tab 6]: R. Ivory reviewed the 1994-95 revised budget.
The revised budget was unanimously approved by the trustees. R. Ivory then reviewed
the 1995-96 proposed budget. After review, the budget was unanimously approved by
the trustees.
D. Johnson requested that copies of financial reports be circulated to board members.
11.
Tax Incentive Report: R. Ivory reported on the work of the Tax Incentive Task Force.
R. Ivory and D. Egner have been working with D. Haynes to develop a coalition of
statewide leaders that can help influence the legislature on this issue. The Michigan
State Chamber of Commerce has endorsed the concept and has agreed to lend their
name in support of MNF's efforts in this area. Work on this issue will be continued
throughout the summer months and brought to the legislature's attention in the fall.

Public Policy Committee Report TTab 7]: E. Blews reviewed legislation under
consideration by the Michigan House of Representatives (HB 4550) regarding sales tax
on charitable goods in Michigan. The legislation addresses earlier concerns discussed
by the board regarding the amount of sales tax paid on auctioned items. A motion to
endorse the concept of the HB4550 was voted on and passed unanimously.
Lou Glazer, executive director of Michigan Future, Inc., gave a presentation on the
shifts in our political paradigms and the impact of these shifts on our economy and the
nonprofit sector.
E. Blews presented a proposed public policy strategy developed by the committee. The
plan was divided into three components; the legislative strategy, nonprofit strategy and
�public strategy. The strategy, which will serve as an action plan for 1995-96, was
voted on and passed unanimously.

organization name "Michigan Nonprofit Forum" was discussed. The board charged the
staff with preparing a slate of recommended names with rationale on the benefits of the
new name to be voted on at the next board meeting.
14.

In recent meetings of the community service coordinators and the student
community action network, representatives reported on a number of
exciting activities that are underway at MCC institutions. To give you a
flavor for these exciting service related activities, I have attached the
campus reports from the minutes of both meetings.
Also, in an effort to provide the services most important to campus compact
institutions the following survey was sent to campus representatives in early
October. The results of this survey are being compiled currently.
I have made arrangements to visit all of the compact campuses before the
end of the calendar year. I will visit with each institution's president,
community service coordinator, key faculty members engaged in service
learning, and students that have been involved in service learning and
service activities.

�Michigan Campus Compact
Community Service Coordinators Meeting
Campus Updates
(Taken from the September 29,1995 Meeting Minutes)
Grand Rapids Community College: They will hold a date auction on Oct. 20 and benefit concert on Oct.
27 to raise money to take a service learning trip to New York City Dec. 26.
Alma: Will be going to a selective/competitive work study program due to the success of the program and
in working with agencies. Their service learning courses (15-20) are now designated in the course
catalogues. Joel from Kellogg will be speaking on volunteerism and leadership in America at Alma on
Nov. 20 - flyers will be sent to CSC's. That same evening there will be a hunger banquet that same
evening as part of the Global Hunger and Poverty program.
Central Michigan University: The provost has been taking Denise to many meetings with him. She
appreciated the opportunity and still finds their faculty to be the toughest audience. They are planning an
alternative spring break and volunteer fair this semester.
University of Michigan: U of M will have 60 Alternative Spring Break Site Leaders (31 sits 2 leaders per
site). This was the first year that there have been faculty and staff site leaders since it is a year-long
commitment. Great fundraising idea: students raise 80% of the budget by cleaning the football and
basketball stadiums. Doing Into the Streets four times a year for different populations (freshmen, campuswide, MLK holiday, and staff that get release time). Anita is also going to send out flyers for the speakers
coming to campus (Alice Walker's daughter, Greg Luganis...). A Jeanne Gray update: she is living in
Denver and just took a job at a minimum security facility for boys doing case and group counseling.
Wavne State University: Just completed Campus Plunge using 5 sites. Have been thinking about a mid
winter retreat, probably a nice indoor facility, chance to re energize. Planning an alternative spring break.
The Planned Parenthood Founder will be speaking on Nov. 1 (breakfast is at 8:30, lecture at 9:00) and all
are invited.
Oakland Community College: COOL (student organization) planning service projects at Ronald
McDonald house and soup kitchen. SVLP is working with high school student tutoring program. They
have planned a Halloween party (Oct. 21) and participation in Make a Difference Day (Oct. 28), Into the
Streets (Oct. 7), and Students Against Hunger program "Empty Bowl" where many student groups worked
together. Students from Macomb were also involved.
Grand Valley State University: Has a new volunteer center! Working on Break Away site leader training
on Nov. 11 - open to all. The Break Away conference will be in Nashville Nov. 20-22. This is the third
year for Leadership and Service - connected with four campuses. Public school teachers and AYF cosponsoring. They have 15 new courses funded through the philanthropy center. Jay is looking for a
graduate assistant looking to get their Masters degree in the Education program. The Habitat Chapter got
all of the Dept. of Safety's lost and found items donated and had an auction.
Adrian: Over 600 hours of service were provided by the freshmen class in one day. Adrian is working
on connecting with volunteer agencies, volunteer centers in town.
Lansing Community College: Moved their Volunteer Services area to Student Life office. They were
involved in Welcome Week activities (students very pleased). Terri helped with the volunteer fair (thank
you) and it was very successful. LCC will be involved in Make a Difference Day. The Leadership
�Academy has 15 first year students enrolled (each receiving a scholarship). Next year their will be two
classes (1st and 2nd year students). There will also be discussion groups in the summer with faculty, staff
and student participants. The staff has also attended many classes to talk about service learning.
Western Michigan University: Enrollment is up! Service learning grants are coming through too - they
had been doing stuff for years and now it is connecting! Terri now has a graduate assistant (Randy)! She
has many students going to Break Away - anyone interested in car pooling? She has funding for a van.
They sponsored a volunteer opportunities fair where agencies met with students - evaluations good (she
says due to the buttons). Terri worked with a group of students on teaching a class component on AIDS,
it won a national award and they are invited to go the National Honors conference to present. She has a
service component in her Interpersonal Communications class. She is working on a welfare reform
teleconference to make sure it is reformed the right way. They will be doing Into the Streets, Trick or
Treat for Loaves and Fishes with International Students (canned goods). They also do Into the Streets
twice a year. Terri spoke to each group of freshmen through the orientation department. 80% of WMU's
football players are volunteering in the community. Their athletic department is very supportive.
Michigan State University: The office has moved from the student life office to career services and
placement. They do a great deal of work study placements. They sponsored a non-profit career fair.
They have a placement program on-line. There are over 900 local positions. Students can apply from
anywhere (on and off campus). They are keeping their fingers crossed for an IBM grant. Members of
their staff spoke to the 6500 new freshmen in groups of 200 at a time. This is a very successful way for
them to get new students involved, although they are questioning the follow-through. The MSU Day of
Caring was huge. They will also be involved in Into the Streets. The students are very active and excited.
The office spends a lot of time meeting with faculty and doing many presentations. There is a service
learning requirement for some classes and the office assists with placement. They are continuing with the
internships and advisors working with them. The new faculty member in the HALE program is assisting
in doing some grant writing. The office also advises eight student groups with a service focus.
Andrews University: Will have their 2nd annual volunteer fair on Oct. 26. They will take part in Make a
Difference Day and Into the Streets. They have a partnership program with the churches where students
go back to their "home" areas during the summer and work for the churches. They get money from the
churches, campus, and fundraise so that when they come back they have a stipend waiting for them. The
Upton Foundation has given them a $90,000 incorporate community, service and leadership into the
classroom. Faculty members get $1,000 and student helpers $500. Larry said that there was an
unsolicited article written in the local paper about their office serving as a "pipeline of opportunities for
service learning" - the best publicity that he could hope for.
�Michigan Campus Compact
SCAN (Student Community Action Network)
Campus Updates
(Taken from the October 6,1995 Meeting Minutes)
Albion: The college is "embattled". Faculty and administration have been working out faculty cuts due to
perceived new building. Albion will participate in Make a Difference Day on Oct. 28 where there will be
senior leaf raking done by college and community organizations. There will be a reopening of a historic
theater in town and community service events that will coincide. There had been a Special Olympic event
held on Oct. 5. The students involved in community service at Albion are having fun and trying to get
more students involved. They said they are continually looking for faculty and staff support.
Oakland: Kelly Masters, the past Community Service Coordinator has gone to work for United Way
Community Services. They miss her. The Student Volunteer Leadership Program (SLVP) integrates
community service/service learning with high school students. The program took place in July and
August. They attended MCC's Camp Miniwanca Service and Leadership conference and also served as
primary group leaders at the CMF camp. Their SVLP, Catholic Social Services, and Special Olympics
programs are still going strong. They will be participating in Make a Difference Day with Wayne State
and also working on Into The Streets. They are currently looking for an advisor. They, too, are looking
for ways to get faculty, staff, and administrators involved in integrating service into the curriculum.
Wayne State: Is participating in Into The Streets where they are coordinating many projects. They are
also involved in Habitat for Humanity, Break Away and National Make a Difference Day.
Kalamazoo: Also involved in Habitat for Humanity, Senior Citizens bingo, taking latch key kids to the
planetarium, vets hospital and pumpkin carving.
Eastern Michigan: Are having their Big Kid Connection that will involve 115 volunteers that will work
in the high schools. They are also involved in Best Buddies which is a program that pairs college students
with mentally disabled people in the community. They have planned an Alternative Spring Break (ASB)
program. SAHA (Students Against Hunger and Homelessness), a Martin Luther King project and Make a
Difference Day are all programs that are happening on EMU's campus.
Alma: There is a new service leadership coordinator on campus. SOS, a student run organization in the
past is now possibly getting merged with the Volunteer Center. This organization worked to bring faculty
and students together. Alma has a student that sits on the faculty board that makes decisions on academic
classes that have a service component. Alma will be involved in Make a Difference Day. The Volunteer
Fair will be an open house this year where 12 service departments will have tables set up and a lot of
volunteers will be involved. Alma is also sponsoring a lock-in with Central Michigan and their SADD
chapter.
Western Michigan: WMU is participating in Into The Streets where they will be providing transportation
for those who don't have rides. The Greek system is highly involved in the planning and sponsorship.
Aaron Cantrell will be there as a speaker. They are hoping to have other colleges come and volunteer
with them. They will be having a candle fund-raiser, participating in Care Center bingo, doing door
hangers, and trick or treating for canned goods that will involve their international students. They will
furnish participants with rolls of film so that they can take pictures of their experiences. They will also be
providing breakfast and dinner at the end of the day. They have eight sites lined up for ASB's and already
have their site leaders chosen. Their board has expanded to include members from RHA and international
affairs.
�Grand Valley State University: GVSU will also have a trick or treat for canned goods for all of west
Michigan. The food they collect will supply two Grand Rapids soup kitchens for a year! GVSU is hosting
a ASB site leader training open to all in November. They have between six and eight sites selected. They
are participating in Best Buddies and report a host of new coordinators. Their structure and number of
volunteers allows for two volunteers per issue (ASB, Best Buddies, PALS, Hunger and Homelessness,
Habitat for Humanity, Literacy, Seniors, Youth, Volunteer Corps, Substance Abuse, Health, and
Disabilities). All were impressed with Becky's ability to rattle all of them off! She also stated that faculty
involvement was a great challenge for them. GVSU is working to get service built into the curriculum
starting with freshmen seminar and orientation.

October 31, 1995
The Honorable Vernon Ehlers
United States Congress
1717 Longworth
House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Congressman Ehlers:
I am writing to you today to encourage you to vote against the Istook
amendment to the Treasury-Postal appropriations bill. There are many reasons
why the Istook amendment has a profound negative affect on nonprofit
organizations. In this letter, I want to call your attention to three specific
reasons why you should oppose the Istook amendment.
The Istook amendment threatens collaborative relationships between
nonprofit organizations and local, state, and federal governments. In 1993
when you spoke to the attendees at the Michigan Nonprofit Forum
Grantmakers/Grantseekers conference, you emphasized the importance of a
collaborative relationship between nonprofit organizations and all units of
government. The Istook amendment is a direct threat to collaborative
relationships that you characterized as mechanisms to solve community
problems. The Istook amendment's definition of "advocacy" is so broad that it
considers nearly every contact with elected representatives or government
employees as advocacy. For example, local youth organizations, like the Boy
Scouts or Girl Scouts, talking with the board of education or school
representatives about youth leadership programming in the school curriculum
would be considered advocacy.
There are already effective limits on nonprofit organizations' ability to
perform advocacy activities. Currently, nonprofit organizations are
prohibited from using federal funds for any advocacy activities. Furthermore,
existing legislation limits the amount of a nonprofit organization's budget and
time that can be used for lobbying or advocacy activities. In addition, the
Istook amendment creates an unneeded bureaucracy for nonprofit organizations
and the federal government, as it would impose major record keeping and
reporting burdens on federal grantees.

�Congressman Ehlers
October 31, 1995
Page!
The Istook amendment unjustly silences a portion of America responsible
for much of the vitality of community. As a long time friend of nonprofit
organizations in Michigan, you know of the tremendous diversity and impact of
nonprofits on individual communities. Nonprofits represent the arts, religion,
human service, health care services, education, economic development, etc. By
limiting or preventing these organizations from sharing their knowledge and
experience with public sector representatives, the Istook amendment seriously
threatens local problem solving and community vitality. Furthermore, the
Istook amendment singles out nonprofit organizations alone; for-profit
organizations will still have the luxury of receiving government funds and
maintaining their ability to lobby or advocate.
I strongly encourage you to oppose the Istook amendment of the TreasuryPostal appropriations bill.
Sincerely,
David O. Egne'r
Executive Director

Michigan Nonprofit Forum
Finance Committee Report
November 1, 1995
Revenues:
General Contributions - Request for contributions from board members and other key
supporters of MNF will begin in the second quarter of 1995-96.
Interest and Dividends- When the 1995-96 budget was proposed, MNF had not yet
received the full four year grant payment from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
Therefore, the budgeted amount for this line item will need to be adjusted. The finance
committee will be reviewing an adjusted budget at its meeting on October 20, 1995.
Grants and Contracts - Changing our accounting system to accrual will have some
effect on the grants and contracts line item. The $159,500 reflected here is $147,500
from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation grant and $12,000 from the Points of Light
Foundation. An additional $147,500 will be moved from deferred revenue to the
grants and contracts line item on January 1, 1996.
Program Income- The majority of this income will come in the last quarter of the
fiscal year due to the Grantmakers/Grantseekers conference. The committee also
anticipates an adjustment in the $80,000 budgeted for 1995-96. This adjustment will
reflect a delay in the retirement program and other revenue producing program
activities. Additional adjustments will be made in the expenditures related to these
program areas as well.
Membership Dues - The accrual accounting system has changed how member dues
will be accounted on our income/expense statements. Since members pay yearly dues,
a portion of their dues will be calculated for the fiscal year in which they pay; the
months remaining within that year's worth of dues will be accrued into the next fiscal
year. Approximately $20,000 of the funds reflected in this line item are from the
1994-95 fiscal year.
MCC Member Dues - $30,000 year to date was paid to MNF from Michigan State
University. An additional $19,000 is due to MNF before the end of the calendar year.
MCC member institutions pay their dues on a calendar basis in the month of January.
MCC Venture Grants- We anticipate some change in the 1995-96 budget for venture
grants. The MCC presidents will review these changes at their annual meeting in
January.
�Expenses:
Salaries- Currently MNF has expended only 19% of its salaries. A portion of this is
due to a later than anticipated hiring of Mary Moomaw, director of fund development.
We anticipate additional savings through a proposed change in staff structure and redesigning programs that had additional staff salaries budgeted. Those restructuring
items will be discussed in more detail in the executive session at the end of the meeting
today.
Benefits- You will see an adjustment in this budget item because of the change in
salaries. Additionally, the accrued vacation and benefits items on the balance sheet
reflect funds due to individual employee retirement accounts. Once our retirement
program is up and running, adjustments will be made in this line item.
Contracts and Services -We anticipate this line item will run on target with the 199596 budget.
Office Operations- The $25,000 spent year to date includes approximately $14,000
paid to National Campus Compact for annual dues.
Liability Insurance, Meetings, Travel- We anticipate that these three line times will
be on target with the majority of the spending coming in the last quarter of the fiscal
year.
VCM Program Expenditures- There will be some adjustments in this budget item.
$50,000 in program expenditures was carried forward from the 1994-95 fiscal year.
MCC Venture Grants - Changes here will reflect the recommendation of the MCC
Presidents. There will be very little if any venture grants paid out in this fiscal year.
With funds being raised in the first quarter of 1996, an RFP will probably be released
in late spring for MCC venture grants that will be paid out in the fall of 1996.

Executive Director Report
November 1, 1995
Here are the highlights ofMichigan Nonprofit's efforts since June 1, 1995
MNF's role as a convenor
•
The Grantmakers/Grantseekers VITI planning committee has met and scheduled this
year's conference for May 17, 1996, at the Lansing Center in Lansing; The annual
conference, co-sponsored by the Council ofMichigan Foundations, promotes
communication and collaboration between grantors and grantees, while examining the
issues and challenges facing the nonprofit sector as it moves toward an expanding
future. This year' s conference planning committee is chaired by Judith A. Rapanos,
Chair, Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and Maureen H . Smyth, Vice
President-Programs, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
•
MNF continues to work with the National Center for Nonprofit Boards to develop a
workshop to be held this spring in Michigan. Last spring MNF co-sponsored a
seminar in Detroit with NCNB on increasing board diversity. We are reviewing
potential topics for the spring 1996 meeting and should have dates confirmed in the
near future.
•
MNF continues its effort to work with technical assistance providers around the state
in coordinating their services to nonprofit organizations. The Management Services
Organization Roundtable will meet in mid-November to discuss progress to date and
potential areas of collaboration for 1996. Members of this group include the Direction
Center of Grand Rapids, the Accounting Aid Society in Detroit, the NEW Center in
Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County, the Michigan League for Human Services in
Lansing, and United Way ofMichigan in Lansing. To date, the roundtable has agreed
to developing common evaluation questions, developing a state training calendar, and
utilizing technology for the delivery of technical assistance programs.
•
On June 14, 1995 MNF was one of the many co-sponsors for the Nonprofit
Management Association conference in Detroit. Approximately two hundred
nonprofit organizations from around the country attended the three day seminar that
focused on nonprofit practices and issues.
•
MNF is in the process of developing a series of regional member meetings for
members ofMNF. These meetings will focus on providing networking opportunities
among MNF members. Networking has been identified by our members as one of the
most important services that Michigan Nonprofit Forum can provide. The first of
these meetings will be in January of 1996 and will be held on a quarterly basis
throughout the state.
�MNF's role in disseminating information
•
In the spring and summer months, MNF worked in cooperation with Michigan State
University and Wayne State University to distribute editions of "The State of
Nonprofit Michigan," by Dr. Mark Wilson, and "The State ofNonprofit Detroit," by
Dr. F. K. Marsh. Wilson's publication utilizes employment data to track the location
and growth of nonprofit organizations in Michigan. Marsh's publication uses survey
data gathered from human service agencies in the greater Detroit area to identify
trends in nonprofit management and service delivery.
•
MNF is in the process of completing an arrangement with the Cooley Clinic that
would result in the development of a nonprofit legal series for Michigan. This
collection ofbooklets will be an important management tool for nonprofit
organizations throughout the state. Additionally, we are discussing with the Clinic the
possibility of delivering their services and newsletter publications at a discount to
MNF members.
•
MNF' s member mailing has been moved to a monthly time frame. Member mailings
will now be mailed on the first Monday of every month. This change in the mailing
timeline will provide timely information to MNF members on a more regular basis.
•
Thanks to the generosity ofBlue Cross/Blue Shield ofMichigan, MNF will be
reviewing its entire dissemination and communication plan. Blue Cross/Blue Shield
has agreed to review MNF' s communication pieces and plans for publications. They
will advise MNF on an overall communication plan that will be developed and utilized
by MNF staff. Our initial meeting with Blue Cross/Blue Shield will take place
sometime in late November or early December.
MNF's role in increasing voluntary giving and service:
Volunteer Centers ofMichigan
•
VCM continues to review the potential for using technology in delivering their
programs and services. A review committee of volunteer centers has been assessing
volunteer management software. The committee will make a final recommendation for
statewide adoption of a software program at their next meeting on November 15.
Additionally, Sam Singh continues to work with the University of Michigan and a
group of nonprofit organizations to investigate the opportunities that an on-line
service would offer to the volunteer center network. CommNet, a University of
Michigan based human services communication network, is partnering with VCM and
other nonprofit organizations to develop a possible web page site for nonprofit
utilization in Michigan.
2
�•
MNFNCM continues to work with the Michigan Community Service Commission
(MCSC) and the Governor' s office in the development of a Governor' s Summit on
Volunteerism. In a recent meeting with the Governor and representatives ofMCSC, it
was agreed that a summit would be conducted in January or February of 1996. The
summit will be an invitation only event for 50-60 individuals representing Michigan' s
economic, public, social, and moral sectors. The work of the Governor' s Summit will
drive a great deal ofthe Campaign for Volunteerism's effort in 1996. Currently, we
anticipate the Campaign will include the development of a SuperConference, bringing
together key volunteer and service organizations in a two to three day long conference
setting; the further development of corporate volunteer councils in major industrial
areas of Michigan; and the development of an ongoing recruiting and recognition
program for volunteerism and service throughout Michigan.
•
Another item for review at this board meeting is the development of the George W.
Romney Fund for Volunteerism in Michigan. The fund will focus on providing
ongoing resources to local volunteer centers and on developing a broader state
infrastructure for volunteerism.
•
MNF continues to work with the Points ofLight Foundation in Washington to bring
capacity building and technical assistance programs to Michigan. Michigan volunteer
centers continue to take leadership roles with the Points ofLight Foundation. It is our
hope that our state will become a national model for training and technical assistance
programmmg.
Michigan Campus Compact
•
Lisa McGettigan was hired on August 14, 1995 as Director ofMichigan Campus
Compact. Lisa came to us from St. Norbert College as director of student activities.
Prior to that Lisa worked at Kent State University as the coordinator for student
leadership development.
•
Lisa has been conducting a series of meetings with key groups of individuals working
with community service on MCC campuses. To date, she has met with the community
service coordinators of each of the member institutions, the student community action
network, and key faculty members that sit on the MCC Curriculum Development
Committee. Lisa will be spending the rest of this calendar year visiting each individual
MCC campus to assess their needs and priorities from MCC.
•
Venture Grants and Generation Grants: Linking Campus to Community Resources
Book, Volume II was published in September. The book is being distributed to MCC
campuses and key supporters ofthe compact. The book is a summary of programs
and outcomes that resulted from Venture Grants and Generation Grants awarded by
MCC in the last year.
3
�•
A Request for Proposal was distributed by MCC for service learning grants in the
areas of science, engineering, architecture, math, and computer science. The SEAMS
grants will be awarded by National Campus Compact in coordination with the
National Service Corporation. The purpose of these grants is to advance service
learning in the above mentioned areas while improving low income neighborhood
environments.
MNF's role in public policy
•
MNF continues to work in collaboration with United Way ofMichigan, the Council of
Michigan Foundations, and other key nonprofit organizations to promote legislation
that would expand Michigan's tax incentives for charitable giving. To date, the tax
incentive task force has had meetings with former house co-speaker Curtis Hertel, and
State Treasurer Doug Roberts. Additional meetings are being planned in the near
future with Senate Majority Leader Posthumous and Governor Engler.
•
MNF continues its work in opposition to the lstook-Macintosh bill silencing nonprofit
organizations. Passage of the Istook bill will have tremendous impact on all nonprofit
organizations and their ability to communicate and cooperate with the public sector.
•
MNF has been involved in efforts to rewrite the Michigan Charitable Solicitation Act.
The rewrite is necessary to clarify several points of the act and to strengthen the
regulation against fraudulent solicitation in Michigan. Donna Clarke is participating in
a committee which is developing a draft rewrite of the act. The rewrite will be shared
with MNF board members and other key nonprofit leaders before it is presented to
legislative leadership in early 1996.
•
The National Child Protection Act (NCPA) requires states to report child crime
information to the FBI. It encourages states to pass legislation requiring criminal
background checks of all employees and volunteers that work with children. Donna
Clarke has been working with a statewide committee that is monitoring potential state
legislation designed to implement NCPA' s recommendation. This committee is
composed of organizations throughout the state that serve children.
•
Sam Singh continues to work with Representative McNutt on potential volunteer
driver legislation. The proposed legislation will permit organizations to check the
driving record of volunteers that will be used as drivers.
MNF's role in providing programs and services
•
On August 30, 1995, MNF held its first member advisory group meeting in East
Lansing. The meeting was designed to provide members with an opportunity to share
their thoughts, comments, and criticisms regarding a number of current and new
initiatives MNF is considering for fiscal year 1995-96. The output from the meeting
will be invaluable to MNF as it plans program efforts over the next few months.
4
�•
On October 20, 1995, MNF signed an agreement with Crain's Nonprofit News to
publish a statewide nonprofit job placement and classified advertisement listing. The
listing will run in Crain' s Nonprofit News and is designed to create a broader scope of
career growth and personal development in Michigan's nonprofit sector. This
classified service will assist nonprofit organizations in securing qualified job candidates
and also assist individuals in finding job opportunities in Michigan's nonprofit sector.
•
Currently there are a variety of discounts available to MNF members in a number of
areas including ADP payroll and tax services, AT&T phone service, <::rain's Nonprofit
News subscription, Michigan Association and Compensation Benefit Survey, National
Center ofNonprofit Boards membership and publications, and Jossey-Bass
publications. Additional cost saving services are being researched by MNF staff It is
anticipated that additional services will come on-line in late 1995 or early 1996. The
programs being researched include car rental, office supply purchases and mailing
services.
•
MNF's retirement program continues to develop at a slow pace. We have experienced
difficulty with investment companies. These companies have wanted a commitment of
funds before they will provide a program. However, it is difficult to provide funds
until a program is developed. MNF has recently identified a larger nonprofit
organization in Michigan that is willing to work with us in the final stages of the
program's development. The organization will bring several million dollars in
retirement funds to the table that will help us with investment organizations. We now
anticipate that a program will be available in the spring of 1996.
•
As MNF continues its efforts to increase membership, it has become apparent that our
internal tracking system needs to be upgraded. We are currently researching a number
of software packages that will fully automate all aspects of member tracking,
solicitation, and renewal. The new software will allow MNF staff to more adequately
track and identify MNF member needs. The new software should be on-line in late
1995 or early 1996.
5
�Other Staff Activities
•
Donna Clarke continues her pursuit of a Jaw degree from Thomas M . Cooley Law
School. Donna earned a 4 .0 average in the summer term earning a book award
(highest grade in the class) in Family Law. In September, Donna began her first term
as an associate on law review. She is currently ranked number one in her class and
will graduate in May of 1996.
•
Maura Dewan has spent her spare time working with the Michigan Political
Leadership Program at Michigan State University. The program is a nonprofit,
nonpartisan program that trains individuals in how to run for and serve in public office.
Twenty four full paid fellowships are awarded to individuals across Michigan. Maura
is assisting in the development and conducting of trainings that are held one weekend a
month for ten months.
•
Dave Egner was appointed to the position of Secretary of the Capital Area Chapter of
the National Society of Fund Raising Executives on July 1. His term in office will be
two years. He also continues to serve on the Independent Sector Task Force on future
leadership. The task force is focusing on how to attract and keep leaders in the
nonprofit sector as managers and board representatives. The committee will have its
final meeting in December, 1995 and make its complete report to the Independent
Sector board later that month.
•
David Mayo has joined the MNF staff as an intern for the fall 1995 term. David is a
student from the Sudan, Africa who is working on his master's degree in public
administration. David will be assisting Sam Singh and Lisa McGettigan in our efforts
in service and volunteerism. He also will be spending some time on MNF' s public
policy activities.
•
Lisa McGettigan was invited by the Ministry of Education in Malaysia to co-present a
topic on service learning as it relates to leadership development and higher education.
The training session, originally scheduled for October, was canceled due to a
scheduling conflict with teachers in Malaysia. The conference will be rescheduled at a
later date.
•
Amanda Osborne entered the master' s in public administration program at Michigan
State University this fall. The three year master program will see Amanda receiving a
degree in 1998.
•
Sam Singh is currently in the process of contesting election for one of three East
Lansing City Council positions. In the August primary, Sam finished fifth out of

�Proposed Michigan Nonprofit Staff Restructuring
At the May meeting of the Board of Trustees, MNF was authorized to fill two
positions: Manager of Nonprofit Classifieds and Manager of Technology
Clearinghouse. Both of these positions were approved as a part of the 199596 budget.
At the last Executive Committee meeting it was recommended that MNF
postpone the hiring of these positions. Recent collaborative efforts make it
possible to do this work with a staff restructuring. Additionally, efforts to
alleviate the chief staff person's administrative load so that he may more
strategically work with flinders, board members, and public policy issues can
be achieved through a restructuring plan.
Therefore, the attached organizational chart introduces the creation of a chief
operating officer; the replacement of the director of programs and operations
with a position titled director of member services, responsible for member
recruitment, retention, and all MNF direct service activities; and the addition of
a half-time member services assistant, responsible for publication layout and
providing assistance to the director of member services. With the
postponement of the two above mentioned positions, this restructuring will
result in a savings of approximately $30,000 in the staff salaries line item.
