Dear Foundation and Corporate Grantmakers:
Welcome to CMF's 21st Annual Conference
and to Grand Rapids! It is a privilege this year
to honor our friends, Herb and Barbara Dow, as
our honorary chairs.
Your Program Committee is excited about
having keynote speakers Jack Kemp, Henry
Hampton, Mary Fisher, and many other excellent presenters coming to discuss our
Conference theme, "Faces of Philanthropy:
Diversity /Excellence/Collaboration."
This year the program has several new features starting with Wednesday 's live interactive
teleconference from Washington involving
James A. Joseph, Elaine L. Chao and Mark
Rosenman. Then, Thursday morning you will
have the opportunity to initiate collaboration in
team-building activities.
Three mini-plenary sessions will focus on
health care, economic development and social
services - issues important to our state. At the
same time there will be plenty of "how-to" sessions covering key administrative topics for
family foundations, community foundations,
independent foundations and corporate giving
programs.
Neighborhood development,
education/business partnerships, and health
care are just three fields of interest included in
area tours organized by the Host Committee.
The Committee also has planned two fun
evenings with the Grand Rapids Symphony, a
special reception at the Gerald R. Ford
Museum, and song parodies on philanthropy by
political humorist Mark Russell.
Your ideas for future conferences are
important. When you see a member of our
Committee during the Conference, please give
us your feedback. We want the 21st and future
conferences to be helpful to all of CMF's members - family foundations, community foundations and corporate giving programs, so we
look forward to hearing from you.
Enjoy the Conference and thank you for
participating.

Diversity
Issues in Multicultural Education
Haldane, Conference Level
Is multicultural education "politically correct"
or vital in a diverse society? From grade
school to the college campus, educators are
including multicultural lessons in the curriculum. Communities are also grappling with creating more ethnic and racial harmony, even as
tensions pull groups apart. Panelists will discuss issues and questions relating to the current
state of multicultural education, including their
experiences with promising programs now
being used in schools and communities.

Planned Giving for Volunteers and Trustees:
What You Need to Know
President Ford Room, Concourse

various forms of planned gifts, and their role in
implementing the program.

�Message to CMF Members

Dear CMF Member...
The continued growth of the Council of Michigan Foundations - its
grantmaker involvement, services, and programs - is a tribute to you,
its members.
From its beginning in 1973, CMF has been an organization of active,
concerned participants. It has thrived and improved because the people
who constitute CMF have been willing to settle for nothing less. There
is a familiar adage: it isn't the number of hours a person puts in, but
what the person puts in the hours that counts. Each of you today, as
well as the CMF members of past years, have coupled strong commitment
with wise action. You set the high example by your own willingness to
become responsibly, productively involved in CMF's work.
Our organization's work, indeed, is the connecting of people, ideas and
solutions to the needs and challenges confronting philanthropy in
Michigan. Much has been accomplished in the history of CMF. _You
will see good evidence of these initiatives in this 1994 CMF annual
report, achievements that are, in large measure, the direct result of your
energy, determination, purpose, and ideals.
Challenges always remain for a dynamic organization - new hurdles
to clear, exciting explorations to make, and different human needs to
address. CMF's members, its Board of Trustees, its staff, collectively
represent the order of volunteers and leaders that meet such tasks
directly and deal with them successfully by connecting people, ideas,
and solutions in the interest of philanthropy and Michigan's institutions
of giving.

�To Represent Michigan Grantmakers' Interests and Concerns
with the Officials of Local, State and National Government

• CMF sponsored a Capital Hill
"Legislative Visit" in February,
1994, which brought eight
Members to Washington, D.C.
to inform the Michigan
Congressional Delegation of
philanthropic programs and
grantmaker concerns.
• CMF worked with the
Michigan Nonprofit Forum,
state nonprofits and others to
secure a tax credit for gifts
made to community foundations during the 1993 tax year.
• CMF actively pursued its
"Legislative Goal Statement,"
successfully achieving four
goals.

As a result of CMF' s involvement
in promoting the benefits of philanthropy to policymakers, several
goals of the "Legislative Goal
Statement" were achieved during
the fiscal year, including: full
deductibility for gifts of appreciated property; tort liability for volunteers of nonprofit corporations;
revision of the state inheritance tax;
and improved regulatory issues.
Thanks to the CMF delegation
to Washington, D.C. that worked
in concert with the Council on

Foundations and other Regional
Association of Grantmakers,
Michigan legislators have given
strong support to HR 2418. This
legislation prevents the expiration
of a tax law permitting living
donors to deduct the full market
value of gifts of publicly traded
stock to private foundations . To
date, eight Michigan Congressmen
have co-sponsored HR 2418, and
Senator Donald W. Riegle, Jr. has
introduced S1898, the Senate version of HR 2418.

Focus: Legislative Activities
Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of
American society. Today, foundations and corporations are being challenged to increase their support and charitable donations in the face of
major cutbacks by local, state, and federal governments. In the face of
this challenge, it is apparent that much needs to be done to encourage
the creation of new foundations and corporate giving programs.
Unfortunately, several major barriers exist that serve as disincentives for
the creation of foundations and corporations. CMF-realizing the
importance of seeking support for legislative changes to encourage philanthropy-adopted its first "Legislative Goal Statement" in 1977. CMF' s
staff and Board of Trustees work to complete the objectives set forth in
the statement, which is periodically updated to reflect changing legislative issues. This past year, four major goals have been accomplished:

GOAL: Amend the law to return to the pre-1987 status whereby the
gained portion of gifts of appreciated property is not subject to the alternative minimum tax reduction.
Fifteen Michigan Congressmen and two
Senators were visited by eight CMF
Members during this year's visit to
Washington. CMF Government
Relations Chair, Margaret (Ranny)
Riecker, met with Congressman David
Camp and others.

GOAL: Obtain a ruling which approves a generic affidavit format that
may be completed by non-U.S. grantees so that multiple foundations
may rely on such documentation for grantmaking, thus avoiding the
need for individual legal opinions for every grant to the same charity.
GOAL: Limit the tort liability of volunteers of nonprofit corporations.
GOAL: Revise calculation to determine state inheritance tax.

3,500 books, serial publications, and VHS &amp; audio tapes related to the field
of philanthropy and volunteerism. CMF has been acquiring resources since
its inception, and the Library is one of the largest in the Midwest focusing
on philanthropic and nonprofit issues. While circulation of resources is limited to CMF Members, the public may peruse the library during CMF's
business hours. Computerization of the Library is nearing completion, and
CMF Members will soon be able to "dial in" to CMF' s computer system to
request a topical search or to down load information. Last year, more than
800 requests for information were answered by the CMF librarian.

�Report of
Independent Auditors

COMBINED STATEMENTS OF ACTIVITY AND CHANGES IN FUND BAlANCES
Year ended March 31. 1994

Supporting

The Board of Trustees
Council of Michigan Foundations
We have audited the accompanying
combined balance sheet of the Council
of Michigan Foundations and supporting organizations as of March 31, 1994,
and the related combined statement of
activity and changes in fund balances
the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the
Council's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We have previously audited and reported upon the March 31, 1993 financial
statements which are included in summary form for comparative information.
We conducted our audit in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined
financial position of the Council of

thropy in federal and state legislative and regulatory matters. The
endowment was established with restricted contributions from
the member foundations of the Council given in honor of a former Council Board member who was also the first Government
Relations Chairman. The principal amount is nonexpendable with
the investment income used for the stated purpose of this fund.

Supporting Organizations

Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project: During fiscal
1994, the Council formed a supporting organization for the purpose of completing the Kellogg II project. The Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth Project was incorporated on
November 24, 1993 and has a separate Board of Trustees to oversee the grant-making activities of this project. TheW. K. Kellogg
Foundation transferred approximately $15,000,000 to the supporting organization at the end of fiscal1994 . The supporting
organization will receive approximately $4,500,000 in fiscal1995
completing the transfer of funds committed by theW. K. Kellogg
Foundation to this initiative for complete administration of the
project and grant-making activities. The Board of Trustees of the
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project is appointed
by the Council's Board of Trustees.

Note C-Federal Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Council is a
public charity, as described in Sections 509(a)(1) and
170(b)(l)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, the
Council is exempt from federal income tax and certain excise
taxes imposed on private foundations. The Internal Revenue
Service has also ruled that the two supporting organizations,
The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project and the
Michigan AIDS Fund, are exempt from federal income tax and
certain excise taxes imposed on private foundations as specified
under the provisions of Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code.

Michigan AIDS Fund : The Council formed a supporting organization during fiscal1994 for the purpose of managing and
administrating revenues and expenses of a collaborative funding
grant program previously administered by the Council which
acts as a vehicle for Council members and others to cooperatively fund AIDS-related projects in Michigan. The supporting
organization has a separate Board of Trustees to oversee the
growing activities of this program. The Board of Trustees of the
Michigan AIDS Fund is appointed by the Council's Board of
Trustees.

Note D-Commitment
As a result of expanded programming, the Council entered into
an agreement in principle to purchase additional office space at
its current location. Subsequent to March 31, 1994, a purchase
agreement was signed committing the Council to pay $325,000
upon closing. The Council expects to take possession of the
office space in June 1994. The facility will be financed entirely
by unrestricted investment earnings on Michigan Community
Foundations' Youth Project funds.

ABOUT THE TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONFERENCE

As we revisit Detroit for CMF' s 22nd
Annual Conference on November 2-4, 1994
at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn, participants
will see the conference theme "The Magic of

that set the scene for highly participatory
discussions on vital issues of interest to
grantmakers in and around Michigan.
An excellent cast of speakers includes
Mayor Dennis Archer, Neal Peirce, Dr.
Johnnetta Cole, Neal Shine and R. David
Thomas. New features this year include
mini-plenary breakfast sessions on
Thursday morning, to provide an opportunity to examine key issues that will be dis- .
cussed throughout the conference. Four
areas that will be explored in depth are
civil citizenship, children &amp; families, community building, and collaboration. Other
topics include educational reform, information technology, media relations, legislative concerns, leadership development,
investment and management. Technical/
management sessions will be offered to
community foundations, corporate giving
foundations, and family foundations.

Your Conference Host Committee has
put together an array of interesting cultural,
community development, and educational
tours that parallel the key issues surrounding the conference. Special highlights
include an entertaining segment by Mitch
Alborn, guest appearances from talented
idols from the entertainment wodd, and an
evening at the Henry Ford Museum where
attendees will delight in an atmosphere of
fantasy, magic and mystery.

Corporate Giving

How Can Giving Away Money Be Unethical?
Corporate grantmaking programs are subject to strong internal and external pressures which can influence grantmaking
decisions. Issues such as CEO interference,
need for visibility vs. doing the right thing,
customer pressures, declining budgets
arise for all of us. How do we identify and
use ethical principles in grantmaking?
How do corporate grantmakers respond to
these issues? Are there successful strategies to assure program integrity and the
satisfaction of the corporations'
stakeholders? These and other ethical
issues will be discussed in dialogue form
with participants.

Sustaining Community Development through
Human Development
The concept of community development
has come to encompass the many different
visions of those individuals and organizations involved in the task of improving conditions in the inner cities. As we move
towards the future, it is important to bring
all the various players together- new and
old, public and private - in order to
increase understanding, strengthen old
partnerships, initiate new ones, and develop more comprehensive strategies for
addressing the problems of our communities. The panel will discuss their views on
the future of community development, new
strategies for problem-solving, as well as
areas in which they are involved, funding
needs, and funding opportunities.

Michigan 's Juvenile Justice System: Who's
Got the Key?
Like many states, Michigan is looking for
creative, positive ways of dealing with the
growing problem of juvenile crime. A
number of projects are already in place,
but more needs to be done. Speakers for
this session will explore three major areas:
what are the issues facing this state's juvenile justice system (strengths, weaknesses,
road blocks, and opportunities); an example of one program already underway and
its results thus far; and finally, a new
national juvenile justice project whose
vision could have an impact on Michigan.

Collaboration I
Building a Successful Collaborative: Essential
Components
Public and private funders have played a
significant role in developing and encouraging collaboration as a means of improving
programs. Many foundations include a
funding preference for collaboratives,
encouraging non-profit organizations to
work together as a first step in the grant
seeking process. While most agree that collaboratives can help strengthen community
approaches to problems, key elements need
to be in place to insure success. This session
will provide a "nuts and bolts" seminar on
building a successful collaborative and
highlight the results of a national survey on
the conditions necessary for success.
Civil Citizenship I
Do Our Children Literally See the World
Differently?
'

Today's children receive information using
multiple senses ... visual, auditory and even

change the very way children process
information? Their thinking and learning
patterns? Their ability to relate to the
printed word, to traditional institutions

and modes of communication? If society is
built upon the intellectual and individual
constructs of people, what happens when
the system of thinking and construct formation changes? A fascinating exploration
of the impact of new technologies on the
next generation.
Legal and Accounting Issues Facing
Private and Community Foundations
This is your opportunity to find out about
the new legal issues surrounding the
acknowledgement of charitable contributions and the new accounting rules
imposed by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) .
Beginning with donations made in 1994,
donors must be able to substantiate the
value of any gift over $250 in order for the
contribution to be deductible for tax purposes. The specific legal requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code will be discussed, alerting you to potential problem
areas. Beginning in 1995, most foundations will have to comply with controversial new accounting and reporting rules
that apply to not-for-profit organizations
recently adopted by the FASB. This session is intended to clarify many of these
challenging issues and questions.

Volunteerism is often the most creative
response to many of the human service challenges in communities. From the arts councils to the food banks and from the nature
centers to the nursing homes, volunteers
provide the unique human resource and
enthusiastic dedication which communities
might not otherwise be able to support. The
changes in family structure, working environments, and demands on the time of people, among other issues, are resulting in a
need for new approaches to fostering volunteerism. Many of the traditional approaches
to volunteer development may offer communities the mechanism through which to
best understand the changing conditions
and build a volunteer system which will
continue and improve the creative response
to community challenges that volunteerism
can provide. This session will examine one .

Over the past ten years, overall corporate
giving has grown twice as fast as donations
to United Way. And at the individual level,
United Way is concerned about its ability to
attract a new generation of donors. Local
United Way policies on designation and
donor choice vary dramatically, and the
"jury is out" as to whether looser restrictions are leading to increased giving.

We will examine how young people can be
involved in all levels of your program,
from participating and planning events
and activities, to making decisions about
the overall program. We will focus on
areas of decision making and discuss five
key components to address when supporting young people in this role: structure,

Investment Seminar II
Global Investment Options

The dramatic decline in interest rates over
the last twelve years has resulted in a corresponding decline in the returns that can
be expected on foundation investments. If
spending levels are to be maintained at
anywhere near previous levels, and if
assets are to retain their purchasing power,
foundation investment policies must be
revised to produce increased expected
returns. Although such changes frequently
entail increases in investment risk, a global
diversification strategy can be used to
reduce the magnitude of the problem. This
session reviews the theoretical justification
for the historical results of global diversification. It also examines some of the issues
that should be addressed by foundation
trustees before initiating such a strategy.

Community Foundations
Partnering with Local Government

Governments and foundations both serve
the public good. Some governmental units
have been told that they cannot receive
foundation funding because they do not
have a 501c3 determination letter, (a fallacy). As a result, many townships, villages,
and cities are considering the development
of foundations when they could more easily and efficiently work with their local
community foundation. This session
explores how, when, and why to work with
local units of government and it provides
examples of successful models of Michigan
foundations collaborating with their governments to serve the public good.

22ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE
OF THE
COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS

Hyatt Regency Dearborn
November 2-4, 1994

�*

HONORARY CHAIR

MAX M. FISHER

Max M. Fisher

2

The tradition of naming an outstanding philanthropic leader and
contributor as honorary chair of the CMF Annual Conference is distinctively heightened by the selection of this year's honoree.
Max Martin Fisher, Chairman of the Max M. and Marjorie S.
Fisher Foundation, is an individual who has responsibly served the
philanthropic community and the larger world community with
dedication for many years. In addition to guiding the work of the
foundation which bears his name, he is an active board member of
Comerica Incorporated, Detroit, and of So theby's, London, England.
He also currently lends his time and expertise as a chairman or
board member to a host of civic organizations. These include
American Friends ofthe Hebrew University of Jerusalem, B'nai
Birth International Board of Overseers, Detroit Institute of Arts
Founders Society, Greater Detroit Area Hospital Council,
Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, the President's Export
Council, and the Task Force for Operation Independence (Israel and
the United States).
Former board affiliations and/ or chairman roles- both professional and civic- are too numerous to list. A selected few from
among the professional field are: American Petroleum Institute,
Loyal American Life Insurance Company, Marathon Oil Company,
Michigan Bell Telephone Company, Michigan Consolidated Gas
Company, and United Brands Company. Past civic posts include
the Commission on Private Philanthropy, Council of Jewish
Federations, Detroit Renaissance, Detroit Symphony Orchestra,
Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, President's Task Force on
Private Sector Initiatives, United Foundation of Detroit, and the
Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Centennial Commission.
From that brief sampling of affiliations, it is easy to see why Max
M. Fisher is the recipient of a dozen honorary degrees and nearly
fifty awards- state, national, or international- for his leadership,
administration, and guidance. These honors have been bestowed
by such organizations as the Synagogue Council of America,
American Jewish Congress, National Black Republicans Council,
United Jewish Appeal, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Ohio
State University, Wayne State University, and the State Bar of
Michigan, to name only a few.
CMF proudly salutes Max M. Fisher, honorary chair of the 1994
Council of Michigan Foundations annual conference.

DEAR FOUNDATION AND CORPORATE GRANTMAKERS:

Caring communities are places where the arts, commerce, and people
of all ages thrive and support each other. At their best, communities
are the places where a myriad of relationships, families, and services
interact for the common good. Where communities work well, they
become magic places- places we all recognize from the best of our
life experience- places we hope to recreate, sustain, and nurture
through our work as grantmakers.
Welcome to the CMF's 22nd Annual Conference! We expect the
conference theme, The Magic of Community, to come alive through
highly participatory discussions on vital issues including civil citi~
zenship, children and families, community building, and collaboration. Throughout this meeting, we will challenge ourselves to look
closely at how well we contribute to the innovations and vitality of
the communities we serve.
Mayor Dennis Archer, Neal Peirce, Dr. Johnetta Cole, Neal Shine,
and Wendy's founder R. David Thomas are just a few of the dynamic
speakers who will help stimulate our dialog. Also, adding to the
magical atmosphere will be several delightful cultural and entertainment opportunities including an evening at the Henry Ford
Museum.
We hope the entire program will capture each of our imaginations, inspire new grantmaking strategies, and offer depth of knowledge along with specific tools to advance the contributions we make.
Our hope is that visions of the MAGICAL COMMUNITY, and our
roles within it, will emerge and grow through the synergy and reflections this conference provides.
Thanks for joining us!

RUSSELL

G. MAWBY

Russell G. Mawby has announced his retirement as chairman and CEO of the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation. On his retirement, CMF
members and CMF staff wish to acknowledge, with sincere gratitude and deep
respect, the countless contributions by Dr.
Mawby to philanthropy's growth and
progress in our state and our nation.
His legacy is more than thirty years of extraordinary leadership for the Kellogg
Foundation and for Michigan's philanthropic
field. To attempt an inclusive listing of his
accomplishments, awards, honors, or service
to not-for-profit organizations, institutions,
and agencies would require several pages in
this program. "Russ" wouldn't approve of
such treatment; he likely would quote W.K.
Kellogg saying, "Thank you, I appreciate the
intention, but hold down on the applesauce."
However, we are compelled by friendship
and admiration to mention at least a selected
few of the many highlights in Russ Mawby's
career - with apologies for the hundreds we
do not include here .
• 25 years of dedicated, exceptional stewardship of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation as its
President, Chief Executive Officer, and
Chairman.
r~

• Founder and former Board Chairman of
the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF).
• Founder and former Board Chairman of
the Michigan Nonprofit Forum (MNF).
• The driving force behind the advent of the
Kellogg Youth Initiative Program and the
Kellogg National Fellowship Program.

• A founding member of the National
Foundation Center and chair of its successful
capital campaign to provide essential technology to increase its efficiency and services.
• A key figure in the dynamic reinvigoration
of downtown Battle Creek.
• An influential participant in bringing about
favorable outcomes during Congressional
deliberations on excess business holdings for
private foundations and the reduction of
excise taxes for philanthropic organizations.
• An active, tireless supporter and promoter
of increasing philanthropy and volunteerism
in Michigan.
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.

Community Development: A Conversation
with Neal R. Peirce
Marquis Ballroom, Second Level
The shape and form of community development has undergone many changes over the
years, and Neal Peirce, a journalist, has been following this issue for more than two decades. At
this plenary session Mr. Peirce will discuss the
changes in community development over time
and the results of these urban experiments. He
will also share his perspective on current trends
in community development and how they
attempt to address the complex and changing
needs of our cities.

Is it possible, in our age of instant and unremitting criticism, to have real heroes - sources of
inspiration in our public life? Has America
ever respected or sought the wisdom of its
elders? Could we wisely do so today? How
can community survive in an era of tribalism
and self-interest? Mr. Frohnmayer, Professional
Scholar at The Freedom Forum will ask hard
questions, suggest provocative answers, and
discuss some organizing principles to respond
to these community challenges.

How Can Giving Away Money Be Unethical?

Today's children receive information using multiple senses ... visual, auditory and even "virtual"
reality. Does this technology change the very
way children process information? Their thinking and learning patterns? Their ability to relate
to the printed word, to traditional institutions
and modes of communication? If society is built
upon the intellectual and individual constructs
of people, what happens when the system of
thinking and construct formation changes? A
fascinating exploration of the impact of new
technologies on the next generation.

Collaboration II
Collaborations and Volunteerism
Rolls Royce, Second Level
Volunteerism is often the most creative response
to many of the human service challenges in
communities. From the arts councils to the food
banks and from the nature centers to the nursing homes, volunteers provide the unique
human resource and enthusiastic dedication
which communities might not otherwise be able
to support. The changes in family structure,
working environments, and demands on the
time of people, among other issues, are resulting
in a need for new approaches to fostering volunteerism. Many of the traditional approaches to
volunteer development may offer communities
the mechanism through which to best understand the changing conditions and build a volunteer system which will continue and improve
the creative response to community challenges
that volunteerism can provide. This session will
examine one community's response to this situation with the establishment of a microloan
enterprise program to support economic development among persons of color.

Way as a result of major changes in the workplace and in society as a whole. Over the past

about its ability to attract a new generation of
donors. Local United Way policies on designation and donor choice vary dramatically, and the

leading to increased giving.

Community Foundations
Evaluating Community Foundation Grants
Regency G-I, Lobby Level- East
How can you use evaluation to answer the
questions of key stakeholders? How do you
know if your foundation is building healthy
communities? How can evaluation help you
determine where you want to go? How can
you complete evaluations with few resources?
This interactive session, presented by the evaluators who work with the community foundations on the youth project, will address your
concerns regarding how to use evaluation to
understand the effects of your grantmaking.

Utilizing the Talents and Expertise of Young
People
Bugatti Royale, Second Level
Many times, as adults, we plan programs and
make funding decisions for youth, without taking into consideration what they want. Many
foundations are now considering engaging them

as peer reviewers, program staff, and as board
members. We will examine how young people
can be involved in all levels of your program,
from participating and planning events and
activities, to making decisions about the overall
program. We will focus on areas of decision
making and discuss five key components to
address when supporting young people in this
role: structure, support, training, attitude, and
behavior.

Investment Seminar II
Global Investment Options
Regency A-B, Lobby Level- East
The dramatic decline in interest rates over the
last twelve years has resulted in a corresponding d ecline in the returns that can be expected
on foundation investments. If spending levels
are to be m aintained at anywhere near previous levels, and if assets are to retain their purchasing power, foundation investment policies
must be revised to produce increased expected
returns. Although such changes frequently
entail increases in investment risk, a global
diversification strategy can be used to reduce
the magnitude of the problem. This session
reviews the theoretical justification for the historical results of global diversification. It also
examines som e of the issues that should be
addressed by foundation trustees before initiating such a strategy.

Enhancing the Leadership of Nonprofit
Executives: A Look at Capacity-Building
Stanley Steamer, Second Level
Nonprofit is not synonymous with a lack of
leadership and management skills. Many of
these organizatibns are run efficiently and
effectively, and with leadership training and
technical assistance, more nonprofits can function in this manner. A panel will discuss their
experience with capacity-building in nonprofit
agencies and the impact of these efforts.
Representatives will include a coordinator
from an executive leadership training program,
a nonprofit executive, and a funder currently
supporting capacity-building programs.

Community Foundations
Partnering with Local Government
Regency G-I, Lobby Level- East

Kym Mulhern, Nokomis Foundation, Grand
Rapids

Governments and foundations both serve the
public good. Some governmental units have
been told that they cannot receive foundation
funding because they do not have a 501 (c)(3)
determination letter, (a fallacy). As a result, many
townships, villages, and cities are considering the
development of foundations when they could
more easily and efficiently work with their local
community foundation. This session explores
how, when, and why to work with local units of
government and it provides examples of successful models of Michigan foundations collaborating
with their governments to serve the public good.

Matching a Donor's Charitable Interest to
Community Needs
Bugatti Royale, Second Level

Community foundations serve as a central
resource and catalyst for philanthropy within
their respective communities. Their leadership
and grantmaking roles are what give meaning
and value to such work. Serving donors and

making effective grants are two sides of the
same coin. By doing both well, the community
foundation thrives. In this session the speakers
share their extensive experience in working
with major donors and engaging their interests
in grantmaking. Learn how to effectively
marry a donor's charitable interest with emerging community needs.

Speaker: R. David Thomas, Sr. Chairman and
Founder, Wendy's International, Inc.,
Dublin, OH
Most people know "Dave" from his appearances on television commercials for Wendy's,
the worldwide chain of restaurants, which he
founded. Fewer people know about this out~
standing entrepreneur and philanthropist's
life and life-philosophy.
An orphan at birth, raised essentially by a single adoptive parent, he left school after the
tenth grade to find work, and was on his own
from age 15. The cards may have seemed
stacked against him. He didn't see it that way.

Karen Young

R. David Thomas

By age 35 he was a millionaire and today he
and his franchises employ over 130,000 people
in more than 30 countries and territories.
R. David Thomas is also head of the Dave

Thomas Foundation for Adoption, and
actively supports charities such as St. Jude's
Research Hospital, Recreation Unlimited, and
the Ohio State University Cancer Research
Institute, among others.

*

Recipient of the Horatio Alger Award,
"Dave" will share with the CMF audience his
experiences, outlooks, and his recipe for success. It is a rare chance to hear from a unique
individual and philanthropist.

Council of Michigan Foundations

1994-95 ANNUAL REPORT

�MISSION STATEMENT
The Council of Michigan Foundations is an association of
foundations and corporations which make grants for charitable purposes. As a membership organization, our mission
is to enhance, to improve, and to increase philanthropy in
Michigan.
CMF's Mission Statement was revised during
1994 to reaffirm the donor membership nature of the
Council of Michigan Foundations. Grantmakers are
our principal constituency and primary source of support. The Statement also recognizes that CMF
Members come primarily from those who make
grants in the State of Michigan.
Our mission "to enhance" and "to improve" philanthropy declares that we will both advocate for and
educate about practices and policies affecting philanthropy. Our mission "to increase" philanthropy ,
means that we will undertake efforts to increase charitable resources in the state, primarily through the
growth and creation of family foundations, community foundations, and corporate giving programs.

ABOUT THE COUNCIL OF
MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
CMF began in 1973 and was incorporated in 1975.
We are affiliated with the Council on Foundations
and 23 other regional associations of grantmakers
throughout the country.
Serving Members is CMF' s primary focus. ,
However, other constituencies are provided assistance
as they relate to CMF's Purposes. These include all
other Michigan foundations and corporate grantmakers, state and national government representatives,
the media, grantees, the national and regional grantmaking community, and the general public.

To echo the recurring response that CMF should
be a proactive leadership organization, a new Purpose
was approved by the CMF Board and added to the
existing statement. CMF's sixth Purpose-LEADwill be met by sponsoring educational programs on
selected subjects; giving visibility to grantmaking
activity; becoming a clearinghouse for activities by
grantmakers across the country; seeking links with
state organizations to provide increased information
to the grantmaking community; and supporting and
facilitating the collaboration of funders with information or by establishing supporting organizations such
as the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) and the Michigan
Community Foundation Youth Project (MCFYP).
CMF's six purposes are:
Network-To provide the means for regular sharing
of ideas, experiences, and expertise among grantmakers.
Advocate_:_To represent Michigan grantmakers'
interests and concerns with local, state, and national
governments.
Increase-To increase the grantmaking resources of
foundations and corporations in Michigan.
Educate-To provide Michigan grantmakers with
educational resources, information, and services in
order to enhance and improve philanthropy.
Promote-To inform the public of the importance of
contributions of Michigan grantmakers to the citizens
of the state and society-at-large.
Lead-To exercise leadership through facilitating
members' responses to needs in the state.

Lead~Network
OUR PURPOSES
In October 1993, CMF's Future Planning Coinmittee
distributed over 1,000 questionnaires tO Membersincluding donors, trustees and staff-asking that they
share their opinion about each CMF Purpose, and
that they assess CMF' s Member services and identify
possible future programs and activities. The survey
provided valuable insight into our Members' views
concerning the future of CMF.

�MESSAGE TO CMF MEMBERS
Dear CMF Members:

If what transpired last year can serve as an indicator
of what lies ahead, the Council of Michigan
Foundations' future will be bright and exciting.
-There are more Michigan foundations.
• 54 new foundations were created last year,
bringing Michigan's total to 1,198.
-~here

are more corporate giving programs of all
s1zes.
• More corporations are noting the value of corporate philanthropy to their shareholders and their
bottom lines.

-There are more dollars for grants.
• Grantmaking is up 15% or nearly $100,000,000.
-There are more volunteers.
• At CMF, the number has increased to more than
400 volunteers.
• The number of youth participating with
Community Foundation Advisory Committees
has grown to 1,200.
• Grant r~cipien~s rep~rt their grants are having
greater 1mpact m theu communities.
-And within CMF
• 80 trainings have been held;
• 17 new publications were published;
• on average, CMF received 30 requests a day for
information;
• the office has expanded its physical space; and
• the staff has further diversified.
In 1973, when the first CMF Conference was
held, the grantmaking community represented only
great r:eeds a~d high hopes. Twenty-one years later
the evidence 1s clear that by working together we
can ach~eve good things for the people of Michigan.
Everything CMF has been able to accomplish relates to
the commitment and involvement of our membership.
You may recall reading as a young child,
"Through the Looking Glass," by Lewis Carroll. In the
s~o:Y, the Good Queen tells Alice something that is
nd1culous, and Alice replies, "But that's impossible." The Good Queen says, "Well, of course it's

The Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees
impossible. I always believe in impossible things. I
make it a point to believe in one impossible thing
before breakfast every day."
That is just what the CMF Members, Board, and
staff have d~ne - "believed in impossible things"and good thmgs have been accomplished. CMF is
now in the beginning stages of a challenging FiveYear Strategic Plan, and the CMF trustees and staff
are confident that the revitalized mission, goals, and
values, will help CMF continue to meet the challenges of the future and to provide all Michigan
grantmakers with the best possible service.
It is exciting to think of what lies ahead for
Michigan philanthropy.

visit or phone call in response to a question or
need. On average, CMF responds to 75 requests
from members for information each week.
• More than 4,000 news articles from Michigan's
newspapers were clipped and a copy forwarded to
the featured CMF Member.
Throughout the year, CMF offers a variety of gatherings for Members and Michigan grantmakers to
meet with each other and discuss topics of interest.
On June 9, 1994, officers, trustees, and staff of CMF
Member organizations from the Midland/Bay
City /Saginaw area met with the CMF Board of
Trustees at the home of Trustee Margaret A. (Ranny)
Riecker and John, her husband, for CMF's Annual
"Regional Members' Meeting." The evening event
was attended by 75 individuals who enjoyed conversing with their fellow grantmakers, dinner, and
an informal program honoring outgoing CMF chair,
Leonard W. Smith.
- The planning and execution of educational programming for CMF' s 22nd Annual Conference, 'The
Magic of Community," was led by Valora Washington
of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, who chaired a 25member Program Planning Committee. When the
three-day Conference opened on November 2,1994,
more than 790 grantmakers had registered for the
event. Numerous opportunities to learn, upgrade
and review grantmaking skills were offered, as well
as ample time to network w ith colleagues and to
peruse publications and videos displayed in the
"Gathering Place" by fellow CMF Members. The cast
of speakers who shared their knowledge with participants numbered 113, came from across the nation,
and included the well-known personalities of Sara
Melendez, John A. Edie, Johnnetta B. Cole, H . Peter
Karoff, Neal Shine, Dennis Archer, and R. David
Thomas. In total, 33 sessions were held, as well as
several host events highlighting local talent and sites
in the Conference host city of Dearborn. Serving as
cochairs of the 34-member Host Committee were Leo
J. Brennan, Jr. of the Ford Motor Company Fund, and
Barbara C. VanDusen of the Community Foundation
for Southeastern Michigan. Max M. Fisher, chairman
of the Max M. and Ma~orie S. Fisher Foundation, was
named honorary conference chair.

�ADVOCATE
To represent Michigan grantmakers' interests and
concerns with local, state and national governments
• CMF successfully removed the $3 million cap on
the Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit
by obtaining Governor Engler's approval.
• CMF sponsored a Capitol Hill Washington Visit
in February, 1995, in which eleven CMF staff and
Members traveled to Washington, D.C. to inform
the Michigan Congressional Delegation of philanthropic programs and grantmaker concerns.
• CMF gained support from ten Michigan congressmen for HR733-a bill involving the donation of
publicly-traded stock to private foundations, and
HR734-which allows private and community
foundations to establish a tax-exempt common
investment fund.
• The biennial Legislative Seminar for Michigan
legislators and their aides was held.
• Liaison with state groups continues. CMF staff
serve on committees and boards of organizations
such as the Michigan Community Service
Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and
Michigan CARES.
• CMF continues its legislative effort as directed by
the current Legislative Goal Statement.
Governor Engler signed an amended Michigan
Community Foundation Tax Credit into law July 5,
1994, removing the $3 million cap required in previous
legislation. The tax credit amendments were the
result of CMF's Tax Committee and Government
Relations Committee, and community, private and
corporate foundations and giving programs across
the state working together to increase philanthropic
giving. CMF was instrumental in creating the original tax credit in 1988 to encourage gifts to community foundations.

The Council's legislative seminar was held in
Lansing in March. It brought together state legislators, their aides, and CMF Trustees, staff and
Members in an information exchange.

On February 1, 1995, a delegation of eleven
CMF representatives went to Washington, DC to
meet with Michigan legislators and share information on Michigan's philanthropic activity. The
event, dubbed the "Washington Visit," occurs yearly,
at which time Congressmen are 1) updated on the
benefits of Michigan foundations and corporate giving programs, 2) given a printout indicating all
foundations in their district, as well as a complimentary copy of The Michigan Foundation Directory, and
3) their support is requested for legislation important
to grantmakers. This year, cosponsorship of two
important tax bills was sought: HR 733 and HR 734.

�The annual "Washington Visit" allowed for representatives of Michigan's philanthropic community to discuss
issues with the State's congressional office holders.

The response to our request was impressive: ten
Michigan Congressmen agreed to cosponsor HR
733; and eleven congressmen are cosponsoring HR
734.
A complimentary grantsmanship seminar for
legislators and their aides, "Foundation and
Corporation Grants: Helping Your Constituents
Find Resources," was held March 28, 1995 at the
Lansing Center. Approximately 70 individuals were
in attendance at this biennial seminar that is funded

by CMF's W.W. Allen Fund. This year, six CMF
Members presented information and answered
questions posed by the legislators and their aides.
One participant from each legislative office received
a complimentary copy of The Michigan Foundation
Directory, 9th edition.

�INCREASE
To increase the grantmaking resources of foundations and corporations in Michigan
• CMF published So You Want to Give? and distributed it complimentary to donors and their advisors.

'iestenladoda11

IH\I\IU'(.Wl"\"'r..\1'111l-\fi0\IIJR \I

• A new fund was created: the Russell G. Mawby
Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy.

• Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow was published to
report on the CMF Improving Philanthropy
Committee's findings regarding Michigan's educational institutions and the presence of philanthropic/ volunteerism courses.
• A CMF Detroit office was established to serve
CMF's many southeastern Michigan Members.
• An Internship Program was established, offering
college students an opportunity to learn more
about Michigan philanthropy, while at the same
time providing assistance to Michigan grantmakers in carrying out the grantmaking process.
• More than 40 Michigan foundations and corporate grantmakers are using the CMF-developed

Common Grant Application Form.
A new product of CMF' s Increasing Philanthropy
Program, So You Want to Give?, was distributed complimentary to all CMF Members, as well as to several
attorneys, accountants, and trust officers throughout
the State of Michigan. The booklet will be a useful
tool for these individuals when explaining the major
options for giving that are available to Michigan
donors. In total, 1,000 copies of the 11-page booklet
were distributed.
When the Improving Philanthropy Committee of
CMF was formed in 1987, no Michigan college or
university had a comprehensive program related to
the interests of the nonprofit sector. Today, 27
Michigan institutions of higher education are offering
classes or curricula in philanthropy and volunteerism. To summarize and share the progress made
over the past seven years, CMF released a new publication: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. All CMF
Members received a complimentary copy.
The idea of a common application form to simplify the grantrnaking review process has caught on
6

in Michigan, thanks to the work of several CMF
Members who volunteered their time to make suggestions and audit several drafts of the form. CMF
staff provided assistance in designing and implementing the user-friendly Common Grant Application
Form, which meets the needs of a variety of grantmakers. To date, 43 Michigan grantrnaking organizations are accepting the Form from grantseekers.
Fifty university representatives were contacted
by letter and flyer to notify them of CMF' s new
Internship Program. To date, students are involved
in the work of seven CMF Members participating in
the program: Community Foundation for
Southeastern Michigan, Detroit Edison, Frey
Foundation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Kresge
Foundation, McGregor Fund, and the Muskegon
County Community Foundation. An important element of the CMF program that differentiates it from
other internships is a series of CMF seminars
designed for the students. The seminars foster a
broad picture of the field of philanthropy and afford
the students an opportunity to network with peers.
In order to provide CMF Members in Wayne,
Oakland and Macomb counties with greater accessibility to services, CMF acquired office space in
Detroit and staffed the office with a volunteer
Consultant-in-Residence. The consultant works to
promote philanthropic networks, provides one-onone assistance to Members, and helps to coordinate
CMF's Detroit area educational programming.

�Russell G. Mawby Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy
During 1994, Dr. Russell G. Mawby, chairman and CEO of the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, announced his plans for retirement in 1995. Dr. Mawby is the founder of
the Council of Michigan Foundations,
served as its first Chair in 1972, and continues his involvement in CMF today as
Advisory Cabinet chair and chair of CMF's
Improving Philanthropy and Increasing
Philanthropy committees. In honor of Dr.
Mawby's outstanding commitment to philanthropy, the CMF Board of Trustees has
established the Russell G. Mawby Fund to
Improve and Increase Philanthropy. The
Fund will be used to continue and expand
CMF's efforts to enhance philanthropy and
to increase charitable resources in
Michigan. To date, the Fund is supported
by 58 CMF Members.

FOUNDATION PROGRAMS

• The CMF 22nd Annual Conference offered three
specialized family foundation programs and a
Family Foundation Roundtable Breakfast.
• Approximately 55 consultations were accommodated for family foundation grantmakers during
the year-including requests for information, specialized management requests, and assistance in
starting new foundations.
• Preparing the Next Generations and Family
Foundation Management Audit were produced
and distributed complimentary to family foundation grantmakers in Michigan.
• Eleven family foundations became CMF
Members during the year. In total, 40 new
Members of all membership categories were
accepted.

• Family FAX, a new CMF newsletter developed
specifically to address the needs of family foundation grantmakers, premiered during Spring 1994
and dealt with topics of finance and investments.
• Two "Roundtable" meetings were held during the
22nd Annual Conference: Program Officers'
Roundtable on evaluation was attended by 100
individuals; and the Scholarship Roundtable was
attended by 50 individuals.
• An audience of 40 CEOs and program officers
attended "Leadership and the Professions."
• The "Improving the Grant Proposal Process"
workshop offered 100 grantseekers the opportunity to meet one-on-one and review grant proposals
with 15 grantmakers.
Although family foundations and independent
foundations are often considered to be very similar
and are many times spoken about in the context of
7

�f"l

"private foundations," their needs vary. CMF programming has been structured to meet these different needs.
Most frequently, family foundations are small,
unstaffed organizations which strongly reflect the
personal values and group dynamics of the donor's
family and heirs. Identifying and articulating interests that are assumed to be intuitively known, finding time to administer an effective grantrnaking program within a fully-engaged business schedule, supporting leadership in younger family members, and
dealing with personal relationships in a business setting, are some of the issues which surface for these
groups that are absent in other foundation settings.
Services provided by CMF' s Family Foundation
Program that are welcomed in addressing these
unique circumstances include personalized technical
assistance, publications and meetings which concentrate on topics of peer interests.
Family foundation Members received a complimentary copy of two new CMF publications:
Preparing the Next Generations-a workbook of practical ideas and activities to foster intergenerational
involvement in family foundations; and Family
Foundation Management Audit-a study of midsize
family foundation management practices.
The needs of Michigan's independent foundations are being met through a new, formalized program which is overseen by the CMF Independent
Foundation Committee. Committee members are
currently in the process of identifying and developing educational and networking opportunities for

"Roundtable" meetings for family foundation grantmakers were held during the Annual Conference to
discuss topics of mutual interest.

CMF's 64 independent foundation Members. A
unique event offered during the program's first year
was a CMF seminar, "Leadership and the
Professions," that intellectually challenged participants by using literature to discuss leadership issues.
CMF independent foundation Members range
from the largest foundation in the U.S. (the Ford
Foundation with assets of nearly $7 billion) to foundations with assets of approximately $90,000. Of all
membership classifications, independent foundations employ the most staff: 466 individuals consisting of CEOs, program and financial officers.
CMF provides technical assistance on an as-needed
basis and has increased its effort to share information about independent foundations by regularly
highlighting their programs and services in The
Michigan Scene and the Memo to Members.
Several Michigan independent foundations are
founding organizations of CMF, including the W.K.
Kellogg, Kresge, Hudson-Webber, and Charles Stewart
Mott Foundations, as well as the McGregor Fund.

�CORPORATE: FOUNDATION

&amp; CORPORATE

GIVING PROGRAM

• Sixty corporate grantmakers attended the 12th
Annual Michigan Corporate Grantmaker
Workshop, "The Information Superhighway:
What Grantmakers Need to Know," cosponsored
by CMF.
• 16 corporations received individualized planning
and technical consultations.
• More than 75 corporate grantmakers attended
three technical and topical corporate sessions
during the CMF 22nd Annual Conference.

The Corporate Giving Newsletter provides an excellent opportunity for Michigan corporate representatives to share information among community leaders
about their corporate giving programs, as well as to
obtain information about new grantmaking strategies.
Articles placed in Michigan's key business publications serve to raise the level of awareness of corporate leaders about the need for and benefits of corporate philanthropy. Therefore, CMF staff remain
instrumental in obtaining articles from Members to
enhance the issue of Michigan Forward magazine
which is dedicated to corporate philanthropy. This
marks CMF's fifth year in coauthoring the edition.

• CMF staff assisted the Michigan State Chamber
of Commerce with the development of articles for
the May edition of Michigan Forward.
• More than 30 requests each week for information
on establishing a corporate foundation or corporate
giving program, organizing a matching gift program, or seeking technical assistance on a corporate-related grantmaking topic were answered
each week.
• During the year, more than 1,300 articles have
appeared in newspapers across the state highlighting the activities of CMF' s corporate Members.
The Corporate Giving Program, which CMF began
in November 1989, was established to encourage the
formation of new corporate foundations and corporate giving programs, and to enhance the efficiency
and effectiveness of existing giving programs in
Michigan.
In meeting this objective, CMF staff coordinate
several meetings and training sessions to assist corporate representatives with development and implementation of giving programs. The Corporate
Grantmakers Workshop was held December 2,1994
at Ford Motor Company World Headquarters with 60
individuals in attendance. Sessions at the 22nd
Annual Conference that were designed for corporate
grantmakers included: "America's Search for
Heroes," "United Way in the Competitive
Environment," and "How Can Giving Away Money
Be Unethical?"

Participants exchanged ideas at the 12th Annual
Michigan Corporate Grantmakers' Conference, "The
Information Superhighway and What Grantmakers
Need to Know." The conference was hosted at Ford
Motor Company World Headquarters in Dearborn.
COMMUNITY

Beyond the services provided by the CMF Community
Foundation Program, three special projects address specific community foundation needs: the Technical
Assistance Project, Upper Peninsula Project, and the
Michigan Communities' Foundation Youth Project
(which is reported under the CMF Purpose of "Lead.")
• National Community Foundation Conference
• Development Training for Community
Foundations
• Three-State Community Foundation Conference
• CMF Executive Director Retreat
• Training Workshop for Community Foundation
Support staff
• New Staff Orientation for Community
Foundations
• More than 220 participants at the 22nd Annual
Conference were community foundation grantmakers.

�Technical Assistance Project
CMF is dedicated to supporting the infrastructure of
community foundations across the State:
* by extending the geographic reach of community foundations;
* by providing activities which build the organizational viability and leadership potential of
Member community foundations;
* by assisting community foundations in raising
assets; and
* by implementing the youth component of the
MCFYP challenge grant.
During 1994, tremendous progress was made
toward building community foundations throughout the State of Michigan, and it is possible that
CMF will soon meet its goal of ensuring that every
Michigan citizen has access to a community foundation. To date, 63 of Michigan's 83 counties are now
served by community foundations.

• A new publication was developed in collaboration
with The Philanthropic Initiative: Community

Foundations and the Coming Intergenerational Transfer
of Wealth: An Overview of Approaches and Strategies.

• 109 on-site consultations were completed, and 62
legal questions have been answered for 26 community foundations.

This is the first of three papers that are intended to
serve as primers on the measures community
foundations might consider taking to strengthen
_ their outreach to prospective donors and the advisors. The publication was produced through a
grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

• CMF has retained the services of a researcher from
Grand Valley State University's Center on
Philanthropy. The researcher will analyze data
and then develop a monograph that examines
when community foundations can financially support their operating costs based on fee income and
projects. This work will also test the $5 million
"take-off" theory.

• Opportunities for community foundation representatives to attend CMF educational events are occasionally subsidized. Mini-grants totaling $95,295
were distributed to community foundations; scholarships averaging $356 were awarded for staff to
attend educational events. Data compiled this year
revealed that support was provided for 933 participants at 21 trainings:

• The dollar cap on the Michigan Tax Credit was
successfully removed.

• The Michigan Community Foundations'
Communication Manual was published to aid community foundations with their marketing plan.
• A Clark, Klein and Beaumont attorney was
retained to provide planned giving consultation to
community foundations. The CMF software
license for Crescendo, a program used to facilitate
comprehensive asset development and planned
giving, was transferred to this law firm for their
work in servicing CMF community foundation
Members.

�EDUCATE
To provide Michigan grantmakers with educational resources, information and services in order to
enhance and to improve philanthropy

This Purpose is met through the provision of general
CMF services, as well as services provided by two special
projects: the Improving Philanthropy Project and the
Information Services Project.
The Improving Philanthropy Project is aninitiative to strengthen philanthropy in Michigan
through improving, wherever possible, the efficiency and effectiveness of the nonprofit sector.
Included among the Project's achievements is an
annual meeting of grantseekers with grantmakers (Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminars), and
the establishment of two service organizations:
the Michigan Campus Compact and Michigan
Nonprofit Forum.
The Information Services Project was implemented through a CMF Community Foundation
Program grant. However, the Project is now
funded through CMF's general operating budget. CMF continues to expand its unique Library
collection, adding over 700 items during the fiscal year. Based on the phenomenal growth in
the number of requests received, CMF
Information Services has become a valuable
resource to Michigan grantmakers.

• A new feature of the Memo to Members,
Infonnation Alert, shared details on new publications available on loart from the CMF Library to
Members.
• CMF cosponsored the Child Care Conference,
"Strengthening the Circle of Caring Communities
for Children," held October 1994 at the Amway
Grand Plaza, Grand Rapids.
• The sixth annual report of Capital Campaigns
was distributed throughout the state as an insert
to the Spring issue of The Michigan Scene.
• CMF cosponsored the Sixth Annual
Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar, "A Vital
Alliance for Michigan."
Thursday, May 12, 1994 marked the sixth consecutive year that grantmakers and grantseekers gathered together to examine challenges facing the nonprofit sector. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar VI,
"A Vital Alliance for Michigan," focused on exploring and defining the dynamics of the grantor I
grantee relationship. The keynote speaker for the
conference was the nation's 38th president, Jimmy
Carter. The Grantmakers/Grantseekers seminars are
sponsored by CMF and the Michigan Nonprofit
Forum.

• CMF staff managed the Gathering Place and the
Video Film Festival during the 22nd Annual
Conference.
• A total of 1,531 requests were answered by CMF
Information Services staff by circulating library
materials, bibliographies and handouts, and
answering reference questions.
• CMF produced a new version of its Publications
Brochure to provide a concise listing of all available CMF publications and resource materials.
Jimmy Carter, the nation's 38th president (shown
here with Dorothy Johnson and Leonard Smith),
was the 1994 keynote speaker for the
Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar.
12

�years, survey results show that goals and total contributed dollars have increased dramatically. More
than 150 of the state's nonprofiforganizations
responded to the 1994 survey, reporting 92 capital
and/ or endowment campaigns seeking more than
$1.7 billion in contributions. The Report was distributed to more than 5,000 individuals and nonprofit
organizations via The Michigan Scene.

"The Gathering Place," a tradition at each annual
conference, is a location to meet friends, view video
productions of interest, and browse the various
publications available.

More than 1,560 informational requests were
received by Information Services this year. CMF
staff answered these by circulating library materials,
bibliographies and handouts, and answering reference questions. Reference services saw the greatest
growth during the year with an increase of 1,065%
documented over the previous year. A flyer,
Information Alert, was published bimonthly to highlight new resource items of interest to grantmakers.
Although automation of library holdings was completed in 1994, library staff are now pursuing digitalization of sample forms and documents. A
review of the necessary hardware and software to
perform this service is underway. Staff are also
evaluating the possibility of allowing Michigan nonprofit organizations to access the CMF computer
database from remote locations.
As a continuing service to CMF Members, the
sixth annual survey of Michigan capital campaigns
was conducted by CMF with the cooperation of
grantseekers and grantmakers across the state. The
final product, the Sixth Annual Nonprofit Funding
Campaigns Report, assisted grantmakers in obtaining
a sense of the fund-raising activity within Michigan.

CMF's quarterly tabloid, The Michigan Scene, provides a vital avenue for grantmakers to exchange
viewpoints, announce recent grants, share staff and
programmatic changes,-leam of upcoming events
and new publications, and gain insight into the everchanging needs of Michigan's citizens. CMF helps
to increase public understanding of the value and
needs of the philanthropic community, as well as
calls attention to the good deeds of Michigan grantmakers, assists foundations in broadening their base
of support, and informs grantmakers of successful
work in the hope that efforts will be replicated.
More than 5,000 individuals receive complimentary
CMF publications on a regular basis.
The ninth edition of The Michigan Foundation
Directory was published in November 1995. This
edition marked the first time that CMF staff performed all functions of Directory production, as well
as spearheaded the tasks of marketing and saleswhich in previous years had been shared with the
Michigan League for Human Services. The 1995
Directory reports that Michigan foundations currently number 1,198 (up from 1,144 noted in the 8th edition), with 404 providing grants of $50,000 or more
annually. The state's 332largest foundations hold
over 98% of total foundation assets.

CMF's Major Publication.....
Production, marketing, and sales of The
Michigan Foundation Directory are conducted by
CMF. The current Directory reports:
• There are 24 company-sponsored foundations
in Michigan with assets of more than $1 mil,}ion. Many companies do not have foundations, but maintain giving programs through
their corporations.
o Twenty-nine community foundations in
Michigan have assets in excess of $1 million.
In addition to these, 19 other community
foundations serve the state's upper and lower
peninsulas.
o The number of foundations granting $50,000
or more annually has increased nearly eightfold since 1975.

�LEAD
To serve as a catalyst for philanthropic responses
to critical needs in the state

"Lead," the new Purpose of the Council of Michigan
Foundations, was added to CMF's existing statement
during 1994 to reflect our Members' belief that CMF
should be a proactive leadership organization. CMF's
two supporting organizations-the Michigan AIDS
Fund and the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project-currently assist in meeting this objective.
Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF)
The Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) was established in
1990 as a CMF fund. In 1993, MAF was incorporated as a supporting organization to CMF and is now
governed by a Board of Trustees separate from that
of CMF. We are proud that MAF has gained national recognition as a successful statewide collaborative
grantmaking model.
• The Michigan AIDS Fund appointed its first
Executive Director
• Governor John Engler responded to a request
spearheaded by the Fund to declare the first week
of April as Michigan AIDS Awareness Week
• $720,000 was awarded during the year to 43 AIDSrelated community-based organizations

Director of AIDS Policy, Patricia S. Fleming, MAF
has gained national recognition as a statewide collaborative grantmaking model d~aling with this
issue of urgent public health concern.
This year, MAF committed $720,000 in grant
awards to 43 AIDS-related organizations and sponsored the statewide Michigan Conference on AIDS.
The conference was convened April21-22, 1994 during "Michigan AIDS Awareness Week" in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Public
Health. More than 180 active health care workers
and volunteers working in HIV I AIDS attended the
event held at the Holiday Inn Convention Center in
Lansing. Eleven sessions included presentations on
the skills-building topics of grant proposal preparation, nonprofit board development, program outcomes evaluation, current AIDS treatment issues,
collaboration, support group activities, and working
with the media.

• To date, the Michigan AIDS Fund has distributed
over $2.1 million for HIV prevention and continuum of care services to combat the AIDS epidemic
in Michigan
• Partnerships with youth advisory councils of community foundations generated innovative HIV
peer-education projects
From 1981, when the first AIDS case was reported,
until1995, 6,607 people in Michigan were diagnosed
with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Surveillance data indicate between 12,000 and
17,000 Michigan residents are infected with the HIV
virus; many are unaware they carry the virus that
causes AIDS. Commended as an exemplary U.S.
philanthropic response to AIDS by White House

Patricia S. Fleming,
White House Director of
AIDS Policy, commended
the work of the Michigan
AIDS Fund, which has
gained national recognition
as a collaborative model.

�Michigan Community Foundations'
Youth Project (MCFYP)
The CMF Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project was organized to carry out the project initiated with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to foster the
development of Michigan community foundations
and youth involvement in grantmaking. The project
offers challenge grants to community foundations
meeting project criteria. MCFYP also oversees a
companion grant from the Kellogg Foundation to
assist community foundations in implementing
information systems hardware and software.
• More than 1,000 young people are involved in
"hands-on" philanthropy by serving on the Youth
Advisory Committees of community foundations.

"The Immersion" activity, a tradition of the Youth
Leadership Conference, is a time for YAC members
to develop team building and group skills. Above,
participants learn about trust.

• More than 200 young people and adult advisors
attended CMF's August 1994 three-day summer
Youth Leadership Conference, "A Place for
YOUth to be YOUth."

Youth Advisory Committee members of these foundations can now distribute the interest earned from
the $1 million as grants to their community.

• In total, 234 young people attended one of four
Regional Training Workshops held in different
locations during the spring of 1995.

Yackety YAC, the newsletter for Youth Advisory
Committees, was published by CMF and 1,500
copies distributed to youth committee members,
adult advisors, and interested individuals.

• $1,378, 823 in grants has been distributed by
Youth Advisory Committees since the inception of
MCFYP. This figure represents 701 grants made by
39 Youth Advisory Committees.
• An issue of Yackety YAC was released.
There are now 47 community foundations and affiliates with active youth committees, involving 1,180
young people in philanthropy. Ten community
foundations have raised the funds necessary to meet

Computer Project
Last year, CMF assisted community foundations in
launching a statewide computerization effort

Progress on the implementation of the computer system and "FIMS" (the Foundation Information
Management System) software for Michigan's community foundations has been exceptional. CMF's
Computer Project has become a national model for
collaboration in the community foundation field .
• There are now 33 community foundations at various
stages of installation.
• CMF held a Computer-related Training Workshop.
• A computer consultant has been retained to assist
in the implementation process and to troubleshoot
for community foundations involved in the project.
Other Related Initiatives
These initiatives compliment the Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP)
challenge grant and increase the ability of community foundations to work in innovative and collaborative ways in their communities.

The Youth Community Partnership is a collaborative effort with the Michigan Department of
Civil Rights and the Martin Luther King, Jr.
Commission. The Partnership provides minigrants to CMF Youth Advisory Committees
statewide to develop, support, and/ or recognize
programs or individuals that promote civil
rights awareness and understanding, and
encourage an appreciation for cultural diversity.

* Eighteen projects were funded.
The Michigan CARES project, is a public/ private partnership with the Michigan Community
Service Commission. Michigan CARES is funded
by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the
Corporation for National and Community
Service to assist six communities in developing
comprehensive, collaborative plans for community service. The goal of Michigan CARES is to
design a community planning model that will
develop and enhance service projects, as well as
~trengthen relationships among community organizations, schools, businesses, local governments,
and community foundations. Michigan CARES
will also coordinate programs, provide resources
and training, coordinate conferences, and implement creative solutions to problems which might
arise with the six communities.

FINANCES

Board of Trustees
Council of Michigan Foundations
We have audited the accompanying
combined balance sheet of the Council
of Michigan Foundations and supporting organizations as of March 31, 1995,
and the related combined statement of
activity and changes in fund balances
for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Council's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on
our audit. We have previously audited
and reported upon the March 31, 1994
financial statements, which are included in summary form for comparative
information.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined
financial position of the Council of
Michigan Foundations and supporting
organizations at March 31, 1995, and
the combined results of their operations for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

supporting organizations because the Council's Board of
Trustees exercises significant control over these organizations through the appointment of board members for each
of these organizations.
Fixed Assets: Fixed assets, which are composed of office
space, furniture and equipment, are stated at estimated
market value at the date donated or at cost, if purchased.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Contributed Rent and Furnishings: The Council leases
office space at amounts ($22,700 in 1995 and $21,800 in
1994) less than estimated fair rental value. The difference
between the estimated fair rental value of the office space
and total occupancy costs is approximately $37,700 in 1995
($38,100 in 1994), which is recognized as a contribution and
occupancy expense in the accompanying combined financial statements.
The Council received furnishings for new office space in
1995 at an amount less than estimated fair market value.
The difference between the estimated fair market value of
the office furnishings and actual cost was approximately
20

$35,500, which is recognized as a contribution and fixed
asset costs in the accompanying combined financial statements.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts reported in the 1994
financial statements have been reclassified to conform with
the 1995 presentation.
Note B-Fund Purposes
General Operations: Amounts classified as General
Operations include revenues and expenses related to the
administrative and service activities of the CounciL
Supporting Organizations
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project: During fiscal1994, the Council formed a supporting organization
(Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project) for the
primary purpose of administering a project commencing in
1988 that was funded by theW. K. Kellogg Foundation.
The project is aimed at encouraging youth development in
local communities while strengthening community foundation leadership and grantmaking capacity. The Council has
acted as administrator of the original project, with all grant
monies received from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation being

�"

distributed to community foundation members under conditions defined by the grant agreement.
The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
was incorporated on November 24, 1993 with a separate
Board of Trustees to oversee the grantmaking activities of
this project. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation transferred
approximately $15,000,000 to the supporting organization
at the end of fiscal1994, and transferred approximately
$4,500,000 in fiscal1995, completing theW. K. Kellogg
Foundation's project commitment to this initiative.
The Council also received a three-year grant totaling
$350,000 from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation to
assist in funding this project. The Michigan Community
Foundations' Youth Project received the final payment of
$100,000 under this award during fiscal1995.
The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project also
received a $2,600,000 grant in fiscal1995 from the W. K.
Kellogg Foundation to provide funds for the computerization of Michigan's community foundations, support for
foundations which assume responsibility for assisting
small affiliate community foundations in their development, and extended support for the youth project, including camp subsidies and national leadership conference
funding.
Michigan AIDS Fund: The Council formed a supporting
organization during fiscal 1994 for the purpose of managing and administering revenues and expenses of a collaborative funding grant program, previously administered by
the Council, which acts as a vehicle for Council members
and others to cooperatively fund AIDS-related projects in
Michigan. The supporting organization has a separate
Board of Trustees to oversee the growing activities and
grantmaking responsibilities of this program.

Endowment Funds
Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund: The Russell G. Mawby
Endowment Fund was established during fiscal1995 to
honor Dr. Mawby's contributions to Michigan philanthropy. Dr. Mawby, Chairman and CEO of theW. K.
Kellogg Foundation, was the founder of the Council of
Michigan Foundations and served as its first Chairman in
1972. The purpose of this fund is to improve and increase
philanthropy by continuing and expanding the Council of
Michigan Foundations' efforts to enhance philanthropy
and increase charitable resources. The principal amount is
nonexpendable, with the investment income to be used for
the stated purpose of this fund .
William W. Allen Endowment Fund: The purpose of this
fund is to record revenues and expenses directed toward
furthering the understanding of private philanthropy in
federal and state legislative and regulatory matters. The
endowment was established with restricted contributions
from the member foundations of the Council given in
honor of a former Council board member who was also
the first Government Relations Chairman. The principal
amount is nonexpendable, with the investment income to
be used for the stated purpose of this fund.

NoteD-Management Services Agreement
An administrative services agreement exists between the
Council and its supporting organizations. The administrative agreement requires the Council to provide executive,
management, administrative and other such services that
the supporting organizations may require. The amounts of
these services charged to the supporting organizations are
eliminated in the preparation of the combined financial
statements.

Note E-Federal Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Council is
a public charity, as described in Sections 509(a)(1) and
170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal
Revenue Service has also ruled that the two supporting
organizations, the Michigan Community Foundations'
Youth Project and the Michigan AIDS Fund, are exempt
from federal income tax as specified under the provisions
of Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Note F-Transfers to General Operations
Transfers to General Operations represent amounts used
primarily for the purchase of additional office space, to
make necessary renovations and to complete the computerization of the Council's offices.
Note G-Commitment
As a result of expanded programming, the Council entered
into an agreement in principle to purchase additional office
space at its current location. It is anticipated that the
Council will enter into a purchase agreement subsequent
to March 31, 1995 committing the Council to pay approximately $130,000 upon closing. The Council expects to take
possession of the office space in June 1995. The facility will
be financed entirely by unrestricted investment earnings
on Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
funds.

                    <text>CLOSING LUNCHEON/
DONOR'S PLATFORM SPEAKER:

PAUL NEWMAN
In the preliminary program you received we
promised you an esteemed guest as speaker at
the closing luncheon.
Paul Newman says of himself very little.
He claims to be the worst fisherman on the east
coast. He told USA Weekend he "had no intention of becoming a philanthropist," he just
wanted "to do something to help."
We're not about to suggest any shadings of
fine points. We won't mention his many film
classics or his superb Broadway plays. We
won't praise his mouth-watering spaghetti
sauce. We won't dwell on his mountains of
awards, honors, and recognitions. We won't
draw attention to his acumen as a successful
businessman. We don't have the space and he
wouldn't approve.
We will, however point out that Paul
Newman is a philanthropist of the first order.
A man who donates extraordinary amounts of
money and time each year to helping children
who truly need and deserve a supporting hand.
He says his charitable work is "a concrete kick
in the rear that gives me a tremendous charge."
There probably is no better example of that
philosophy in action than his Hole in the Wall
Gang Camp for children. A while back,
Reader's Digest carried a five-page article on
this unique camp for youngsters. They called it
a "magic place ...where youngsters with lifethreatening illnesses don't have to sit on the
sidelines." The article went on to point out:
"Hole .in the Wall is the only one (camp) built
expressly for these kids and their special
needs." Now, with the financial support and
guidance of Paul Newman, and many others,
the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is being replicated here in the United States and abroad.
The story of the camp is best told by Paul
Newman, its founder.
We'll hear that story - and more - from
this exceptional human being when he speaks
to the CMF audience in Kalamazoo on
November 10. Call CMF at 616/842-7080 to
obtain registration information.

THE WIDENING HORIZONS OF

PHILANTHROPY

23rd Annual Conference of the
Council of Michigan Foundations
Radisson Plaza Hotel, Kalamazoo Center
November 8-10, 1995

�ABouT THE CouNCIL oF MICHIGAN FoUNDATIONs

The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) is a nonprofit association of 344 Michigan grantrnakers, including 185 private foundations, 53 community foundations, 76 corporate foundations and giving programs,
and 10 public charities. CMF began in 1973 and was
incorporated in 1975 to improve and increase philanthropy in Michigan.

Other constituencies are served as they relate to CMF's
purposes and include all other Michigan foundations
and corporate grantrnakers, national government representatives, the media, grantees, the national and
regional grantrnaking communi~ and the general
public.
CMF is affiliated with the Council on Foundations and
35 other regional associations throughout the country.

ABOUT THE TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The 1995 Council of Michigan Foundations' Annual
Conference will be a first for the Kalamazoo area.
We look forward to bringing together foundations
and corporate giving officers to share insights and
take advantage of a diverse selection of learning
opportunities. Our theme is "The Widening
Horizons of Philanthropy" and the date and place
will be: November 8-10 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel.

lights include a performance Wednesday evening by
the first Irving S. Gilmore Artist, David Owen
Norris. Thursday evening attendees will be treated
to an exciting concert which brings the great singer
and musician, Mel Torme, together with the Gold
Company and the University Jazz Orchestra.
Additional entertainment includes performances by
The Kalamazoo Symphony String Quartet and
WMU Student Jazz Quartet.

The Program Committee has developed a conference
schedule that enables registrants to examine the
themes and issues that are determining today's philanthropic agenda. Those issues will likely affect us
well into the next century. New features this year
include mini-plenary sessions which will provide
grantmakers an opportunity to explore topics such
as Corporate Citizenship, Creating Communities in
the 21st Century, Diversity, Violence Prevention,
Urban Poverty, Information Superhighway, and
Community Development. Other programs include
community benchmarking, health care reform, jobs
of the future, stewardship, social responsibility,
youth as decision makers and many more.
Management sessions include investments, evaluation, accountability and ethics, professional development, grantmaking basics, etc. In addition, technical
sessions will be offered to community foundations,
corporate giving foundations, family foundations,
independent foundations and public charities.

Foundation and corporate trustees, officers, staff
members, bankers, attorneys, volunteers, donors
and consultants will find the slate of programs and
activities at the 23rd Annual Conference innovative,
informative, and timely.

Individuals registering for the 23rd Annual Conference
before the Early Registration deadline of October 18th will
be entered into a special drawing. The winner's name will
be posted in the "Gathering Place" at the opening of the
conference.
We look forward to seeing you, your colleagues, and
friends in Kalamazoo.

Your Conference Host Committee has done a superb
job of assembling a range of tours based on neighborhood community development, education, the
environment, and science and history. Other high2

Reception and entertainment hosted by NBD Bank.
Dinner and Program
7:30-9:30 p.m.

A panel of experts who represent four critical
areas of concern to the grantmaking community
has been carefully assembled. The panelists will
present their insights and recommendations
related to their specific fields and to The
Widening Horizons of Philanthropy. An openended discussion of education, foundations,
government, and corporations will search out
the interlocking- often mutually dependentroles of these distinctly different sectors.

Following dinner, CMF friends and colleagues will
be entertained by a very talented pianist:

• Dick Posthumus, Majority Leader, Michigan
State Senate, Lansing.

David Owen Norris is the
first Irving S. Gilmore
Artist, an honor he
received through a 'competition' he knew nothing
about - the Gilmore Artist
&amp; Young Artists Awards.
The Gilmore Awards, new
to the music world, use a
nomination and selection
process so discreet that
only by winning does a pianist ever know he or
she had been considered. His was the most distinctive voice the judges heard, the deepest and
most exciting level of musicianship they encountered. Norris, who has performed widely in
Europe, brings to everything he plays profoundly
interesting interpretations, an individual and mesmerizing voice. It was this that caused the Irving
S. Gilmore International Keyboard Festival to
unanimously select him as the Gilmore Artist.

• John L. Zabriskie, Chairman, The Upjohn
Company, Kalamazoo.

Program hosted by Irving S. Gilmore International
Keyboard Festival

At the same time, panelists will offer their views
on the future impact of a new political climate
which suggests that, as governments pledge to
do less, private philanthropy and public charities
can be expected to do more than ever before.
Panelists:
• Margaret Mahoney, Past President, The
Commonwealth Fund, New York, NY.
• Tessa Martinez Pollack, President, MiamiDade Community College Medical Center
Campus, Miami-Dade, FL.

• Tim Skubick, Moderator, PBS Commentator,
Lansing.

Jobs of the Future

Community Foundations: Development Issues for
Community Foundations

Future job prospects concern each of us, from graduates about to look for their first job, to rnidcareer
employees who wonder about job security. Dramatic
changes have transformed the U.S. labor market during the last two decades, resulting in fewer good-paying entry level jobs, less job security, more part-time
and temporary jobs, and more frequent job changes.
Workers are also under increased pressure to increase
their skills and raise their productivity. Yet, skilled
workers find their real wages growing only modestly,
if at all, and low-skilled workers find their real wages
actually declining. What lies ahead for the American
worker? What types of jobs will be available to the
workforce ten years from now? What qualifications
will be expected of workers? This session provides a
national and regional perspective on these issues.

Development Officers from community foundations
will be available to answer questions, discuss successes and failures, strategies and procedures in
serving community donors. This is an informal session designed to address development issues for
community foundations of all sizes.

This session will discuss philosophies and techniques
for distinguishing promising proposals from those
which, while well written, are unlikely to succeed.
Scholarship Roundtable: Federal Update/Financial
Aid Packaging/Future Challenges
What are the changes at the federal level regarding
financial aid programs? What is the impact of those
changes on scholarships awarded by foundations,
and how is foundation money for scholarships best
used? How do financial aid officers put together a
package, and how do they adjust packages when
external awards are received? These and other questions will be answered by the experts.

He holds an M.B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of
Chicago.
William Richardson is known as a man of creative
ideas, sound decisions, and deliberative actions. He

individual whose expertise in this area has helped
hundreds of individuals give their resources, through
satisfying, meaningful planning. Come with your
questions, leave with the information and answers.

Community Foundations: Young People Creating
Community Change

many adults are allies in the process. This workshop
will provide practical tools to help young people plan
programs of their own choosing at the community
level. Based on recent workbooks published by the

4:00-4:15 p.m.

Attacking Urban Poverty: What We Know and
Don't Know
Despite strong economic growth during the last fifteen years, the share of persons in poverty has risen
from 12 to 15 percent. Why do we seem to be losing
the war on poverty? Economists offer several explanations, including demographic shifts, policy
changes, and fewer good-paying jobs for low-skilled
workers. Yet, at the same time, the poverty rate is
increasing, significant cuts in federal programs have
been proposed. This session provides a national and
regional perspective on the trends in poverty,
changes in the characteristics of the poor, and factors
that influence the poverty rate. It then discusses
what we know, don't know, and need to know about
assisting the poor to overcome employment barriers
and find and qualify for decent-paying jobs.

MINI PLENARY SESSIONS
4:15- 5:30p.m.
Up the Down Escalator: Strategies for Building
Stronger Communities
Communities are changing. Boundaries of cities are
expanding. Sometimes, as we try to assess and
improve these changes, funders feel as if they are
running up a down escalator. David Rusk, strategist
and author of "Cities without Suburbs," will help us
to examine the strategies for building stronger communities.
Valuing Diversity in the Workplace

Violence Prevention: A Vision for Hope

Often, members of teams - all competent and loyal
employees- don't recognize the differences
between them that keep them from being productive. Through the powerful tools of interactive
drama and audience participation, familiar workplace experiences and limiting attitudes will be
explored.

Violence as a public and social issue challenges
Michigan's communities. This presentation will provide factual information on the degree of the problem and provide perspective on novel approaches
that funders may consider, as they work with people
in neighborhoods to reduce the causes of violence,
and enrich community life.

expense reimbursement per diem fees, program relativity, and healthy spending policies are issues that
require family foundation trustees to determine
what "reasonable" actions look like. This session
will examine a variety of expenditure approaches
that work. A panel of Trustees and Executive
Directors will direct discussion and respond to your
questions about "close calls."

reform ... What is it and how does it impact the philanthropic community? Doctor Shearer will provide
a layman's overview on capitation and managed
health care from the medical community's perspective.

Invest Internationally?

foundations should consider investing internationally. What are the benefits, risks, and appropriate
expectations? We will also discuss emerging markets and whether or not they have a place in endowment/ foundation portfolios.

In this session, you will discover how to create a

new message that "speaks" to the listener and clearly communicates your intent. You will learn how to
listen as a means to develop trust and rapport, gain
valuable knowledge, and create understanding.

Closing Luncheon/Donor's Platform
12:15 - 1:45 p.m.
From the peak of the entertainment world - a
star of extraordinary fame and achievements, a
philanthropist of outstanding esteem- will be
the honored guest for this year's Donor Platform.
Plan to arrive early if you want a "front row"
seat in what will undoubtedly be a "standing
room only" audience. This opportunity is so
exciting, CMF has decided to sen.d a very special
announcement to you in the next few days. A
touch of suspense, an increase of anticipation?
Absolutely. We believe you will agree, it is warranted. One thing is certain: You won't want to
miss out on the memorable closing session of the
23rd Annual Conference!

Communities Accessing Resources Engaged in Service
is known as CARES. Michigan CARES is a national
demonstration project funded by the Corporation for
National Community Service and the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation. It assists six communities in developing
comprehensive, collaborative plans for community
service. The project is a partnership between the
Michigan Community Service Commission and the
Council of Michigan Foundations. The focus of this
session will be on the lessons learned from a national
demonstration project that tests the effectiveness of a
collaborative, community-based planning process for
national and community service.
Reach Out and Touch Someone - Your Grantee!
Feedback as a Tool to Quality Grantmaking
Management theory holds that everyone in an organization interacts with someone who is a customer.
Grantseekers are grantmakers' customers. Several
Michigan foundations have recently sought feedback
from their grantees- both those who were successful
in securing grants and those who were not. Learn
the process of designing and implementing an
input/ evaluation tool as three foundations share the
feedback they received.
Community Foundations: Michigan Community
Foundations Working Together to Grow
Community foundations working with CMF have
helped each other with many mutually beneficial
projects- restriction dollars; tax credit; challenge
grant; computer project. Come to learn some exciting ideas for the future .
Community Foundations: How Can Adults Work
Collaboratively with Young People?
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation established an initiative
within community foundations that places young
people under the age of 21 in positions that have traditionally been held by adults -that of grantrnakers.
A panel of YAC Advisors (Youth Advisory Council)
will share tools and tips on how to collaboratively
work with young people.

FINAL PROGRAM

23rd Annual Conference of the
Council of Michigan Foundations
Radisson Plaza Hotel, Kalamazoo
November 8-10,1995

�HONORARY CHAIRPERSONS

Guido A. and Elizabeth H. Binda
The naming of the Honorary Chair of CMF' s
Annual Conference is a way in which our organization pays tribute to a special individual (or individuals) in the Michigan field of philanthropy. This tradition, by its nature, calls for the selection of persons who are leaders in and contributors to the
widening horizons of philanthropy.
Guido A. and Elizabeth H. Binda created the
foundation which carries their name in 1977, serving
as president and vice president, respectively. The
purpose of the Binda Foundation is "to support
innovative projects that improve the vitality and
quality of people's lives." Toward this end, seed
money is provided for projects on the forefront of
experimentation and research in areas such as education, youth, the arts, and the environment.
Guido Binda, a noted architect, specialized in
school design, until his retirement in 1984. Elizabeth
was a dedicated educator in several universities and
is a former Director of Elementary Education for the
Battle Creek Public Schools District.
The civic and philanthropic commitment of the
Bindas is evidenced by a legion of honors, activities,
and affiliations too extensive to allow for more than
the mention of a selected few.
Guido is a member of the Board of the Western
Michigan University Foundation, Mental Health
Professional Associates, Visiting Nurses of
Southwest Michigan, and he is a 52-year member of
the Lions Club. He formerly was a Board member
of such organizations such as the Child Guidance
Clinic and the Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek. He
is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
Elizabeth currently serves as a Board member of
the Kellogg Community College, Greater Battle
Creek (Community) Foundation, and the Irving S.
Gilmore International Keyboard Festival. She is a
former Board member of the Council of Michigan
Foundations, State Bar Grievance Board, Calhoun
County Reading Council, United Arts Council, and
American National Bank. She holds a Distinguished
Alumni award from Northern Michigan University
where she received her B.A. degree. Her M.A.
degree is from the University of Michigan.
The Council of Michigan Foundations proudly
salutes its honorary chairpersons for the 1995
Conference: Guido and Elizabeth Binda.

�DEAR FOUNDATION AND CORPORATE GRANTMAKERS:

Welcome back to West Michigan and to CMF' s
Annual Conference "The Widening Horizons of
Philanthropy!" At no other time in philanthropy's
history has the importance of looking at all of our
options been more critical. Whether it be expanding
our thinking of how to get things done, or exploring
the best way to make use of all of our resources
together, our horizons need to be as wide as the
scope of our collective imagination can take us.
This year's conference in Kalamazoo brings
together the best and the brightest our field has to
offer. Creating partnerships for our future, looking
at our community's strengths and building on them,
assessing the national and state political climate to
help us with decision making, untangling the maze
of the information superhighway and what that
means to us and our grantees, and looking at model
programs that work are a few examples of the
chances for learning and interacting that our
Program Committee has planned. And of course,
the special surprise, our Donor's Platform speaker,
that I can assure you will be unforgettable!
The Host Committee has built on the rich cultural mosaic that is Kalamazoo. This community has
taken the sum of all its parts and produced site visits and entertainment for you that will long be
remembered. Kalamazoo has indeed "pulled out all
the stops!"
I am so grateful to be sharing this year's conference with my good friends, Elizabeth and Guido
Binda, as Honorary Chairpersons. A pair truly
committed to giving back, not just their resources,
but their time and expertise.
Thank you for joining us and enjoy the conference.

David Owen Norris is
the first Irving S.
Gilmore Artist, an
honor he received
through a 'competition'
he knew nothing about
- the Gilmore Artist &amp;
Young Artists Awards.
The Gilmore Awards, new to the music world,
use a nomination and selection process so discreet that only by winning does a pianist ever
know he or she had been considered. His was
the most distinctive voice the judges heard,
the deepest and most exciting level of musicianship they encountered. Norris, who has
performed widely in Europe, brings to everything he plays profoundly interesting interpretations, an individual and mesmerizing voice.
It was this that caused the Irving S. Gilmore
International Keyboard Festival to unanimously select him as the Gilmore Artist.

Jobs of the Future

Partnering With MIS and Enlisting a Champion
in Your Organization (7 hrs.)
The Flats, Plaza Level

Future job prospects concern each of us, from
graduates about to look for their first job, to
midcareer employees who wonder about job security.
Dramatic changes have transformed the U.S. labor
market during the last two decades, resulting in
fewer good-paying entry level jobs, less job security,
more part-time and temporary jobs, and more
frequent job changes. Workers are also under
increased pressure to increase their skills and raise
their productivity. Yet, skilled workers find their
real wages growing only modestly, if at all, and lowskilled workers find their real wages actually
declining. What lies ahead for the American worker?
What types of jobs will be available to the workforce
ten years from now? What qualifications will be
expected of workers? This session provides a
national and regional perspective on these issues.

Informal discussion on the Foundation Center's
latest information; and an exchange of ideas and
solutions to concerns.

Up the Down Escalator:
Strategies for Building Stronger Communities
The Prairies VI, Plaza Level

Karen L. Leppanen, Vice President - Finance,
Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan,
Detroit

Communities are changing. Boundaries of cities are
expanding. Sometimes, as we try to assess and
improve these changes, funders feel as if they are
running up a down escalator. David Rusk, strategist
and author of "Cities without Suburbs," will help us to
examine strategies for building stronger communities.

Community Foundations:
Young People Creating Community Change

Young people are creating community change and
many adults are allies in the process. This workshop
will provide practical tools to help young people plan
programs of their own choosing at the community
level. Based on recent workbooks published by the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation, it will include information
on successful community-based youth programs,
hands-on learning activities and training materials,
and step-by-step ways for involving young people

This will be a presentation outlining the 10-year,
$80 million Violence Prevention Initiative funded by

components of the Initiative will be described:
Policy Center, Community Collaboratives, Research

Attacking Urban Poverty:
What We Know and Don't Know
The Glens III, Plaza Level
Despite strong economic growth during the last
fifteen years, the share of persons in poverty has
risen from 12 to 15 percent. Why do we seem to be
losing the war on poverty? Economists offer several
explanations, including demographic shifts, policy
changes, and fewer good-paying jobs for low-skilled
workers. Yet, at the same time, the poverty rate is
increasing, significant cuts in federal programs have
been proposed. This session provides a national and
regional perspective on the trends in poverty,
changes in the characteristics of the poor, and factors
that influence the poverty rate. It then discusses
what we know, don't know, and need to know about
assisting the poor to overcome employment barriers
and how to find and qualify for decent-paying jobs.

From the board room to the local community,
corporate funders are bombarded with funding
requests. Board members, employees, shareholders,
and customers all bring special pressures to bear on
corporate funding decisions. Are you looking for
ways to make this decision process manageable?
How do you help your CEO and board say "no"?
This dialogue session will focus on the role that an
effective set of guidelines will play in dealing with the
pressures on corporate grantmakers. Attendees will

Paul Newman is probably best known for his spectacularly successful food conglomerate. In addition to giving the profits to charity, he also ran
Frank Sinatra out of the spaghetti business. On the downside, the spaghetti
sauce is outgrossing his films.
He did graduate from Kenyon College magna cum lager, and the process
begat a laundry business which was the only student-run enterprise on Main
Street. Yale University later awarded him an honorary doctorate of Humane
Letters for unknown reasons.
He has won four Sports Car Club of America National Championships and
is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the oldest driver (70) to win a
professionally sanctioned race (24 hours of Daytona, 1995).
He is married to the best actress on the planet, was number 19 on Nixon's
enemy list, and purely by accident, has done 51 films and four Broadway plays.
He is generally considered by professionals to be the worst fisherman on the
east coast.
Paul Newman has said his charitable work is "a concrete kick in the rear that
gives me a tremendous charge."
There probably is no better example of that philosophy in action than his
Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for children. A while back, Reader's Digest carried
a five-page article on this unique camp for youngsters. They called it a "magic
place ... where youngsters with life-threatening illnesses don't have to sit on the
sidelines." The article went on to point out: "Hole in the Wall is the only one
(camp) built expressly for these kids and their special needs."
Now, with the financial support and guidance of Paul Newman, and many
others, the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp i~ being replicated here in the United
States and abroad.

Council of Michigan Foundations
Annual Report/1995-9&amp;

�1

essage to Members
Fiscal Year 1995-96 has been a year of successful, challenging transitions for the Council
of Michigan Foundations. Four deserve special comment. The first transition was one of
leadership, with four Board members retiring
and Mariam C. Noland stepping in as Chair
after the untimely passing of Chairman,
Herbert H. Dow. We are grateful for the
many contributions ofJudy Hooker, Gil
Hudson, Donald Lindow, and Leonard Smith.
The second transition was in management as
Dave Lindberg and Rob Collier joined us as
director of finance/ administration and vice
president/ chief operating officer respectively,
replacing Anne Stoll and Kathy Agard. The
third transition has been in our programs as
we have worked to implement the new Five
Year Strategic Plan that so many of our members helped design.
The highlights shared in this Annual Report
confirm that Board, staff and members combined to successfully meet these transitions,
using creativity, leadership, and collaboration
to realize positive results.

Social and economic conditions coupled with
government regulation and devolution provide
uncertainty and apprehension for our nonprofit
world. CMF, grantmakers, nonprofits, and the
public, working together, can successfully
address these challenges and, we believe, achieve
grand results. We will continue to advocate for
support of legislation to stimulate the growth of
philanthropy. Public policy, communications,
and new collaborations will characterize our
work on your behalf in 1996-97.
As you read about CMF's year, we hope you
will keep in mind how much we have
accomplished by working together. Herb
Dow so often said: "collaborate." New people, new initiatives, and new resources are the
devices grantmakers need to successfully meet
the challenges that lie ahead. We look forward to continuing our work with you in
CMF's many activities.

�A Tribute to Herbert H. Dow
CMF Chair 1994-1996

n Januar 26, 996, the Council of Michigan
Foundations lost a valued colleague, leader,
friend and p ilanthropist. Herbert H. Dow
II served C F w&amp;th pride and dignity for
more than 24 years.
Herb's inv0lvement with CMF began when
h joinea.d r initial steering committee in
1972. He was elected a trustee for a second
time in 1985 and was appointed vice chairman of private foundations from 1992 to
1994. His active CMF participation culminated in his appointment as board chair in
June, 1994.
As the tenth chairman of the Board of
Trustees, Herb provided outstanding guidance and vision. He oversaw the implementation of CMF's new five-year strategic plan;
established the $1 million Russell G. Mawby
Endowment Fund to Improve and Increase
Philanthropy; began a collaborative project

Herbert H. Dow II

with the Michigan Community Service
Commission; and opened a Detroit office to
better service southeast Michigan members.
Those of us who had the privilege of working with Herb are surely the better for it. He
exemplified the philanthropic spirit through
his corrununity leadership, encouragement,
and personal example.
In the years he shared with us, Herb frequently spoke about his belief in the power
of collaboration. During CMF's 23rd annual
conference, he said " .. .part of our ongoing
role in the foundation community is to stimulate others to be involved in philanthropy."
In tribute to Herb, we urge you to follow his
lead: Acquaint yourself with other philanthropists in your community and work to
form lasting collaborative relationships. Herb
did these things so very well.

�Enhancing, Improving &amp;
The CMF Board invites individuals, foundations and corporate grantmakers to re~ember their colleagues, mentors and friends by making endowment fund contributions to 'further CMF programming.
Donors may direct their gift to specific purposes or the existing endowment funds described below.

New FundThe Ruth and Russell Mawby Fund for Kids
Russ and Ruth Mawby established this $500,000
endowment fund, as part of grant funds allocated
by the WK. Kellogg Foundation, to honor and
recognize Russ' years of service as Chairman and
CEO of the foundation. The Mawby's fund will
assist CMF in strenthening the involvement of
youth in philanthropy. Dr. and Mrs. Mawby and
their children will continue to advise the CMF
Board on the best uses of the funds.

The Russell G. Mawby Fund to Improve
and Increase Philanthropy

The William W. Allen
Fund
Since its establishment in
1989 as the first CMF
endowment fund, the
William WAllen Fund
has helped to further
representation of private
philanthropy in federal
and state legislative and
William W.Allen
regulatory matters. The
(1908- 1987)
Fund, enables CMF to present a biennial seminar
_ for legislators and their aids, and to distribute complimentary copies of The Michigan Foundation
Directory to each legislative office.

Last year, the CMF board established the Russell
G. Mawby Fund to Improve and Increase
Philanthropy in Michigan to honor Dr. Mawby's
significant contributions to Michigan philanthropy.
Contributions amounting to over $1.5 million
were received from more than 90 individuals,
foundations, and corporations. Income from the
Fund is providing seed funding for new collaboratives, such as the K-12 project.

The first Maw by Fund for Kids intern, Erin
Gardiner, began her internship at CMF in early
Spring, 1996.

Since 1977, CMF has worked with ?tate and
national policymakers to seek passage of legislation favorable for the creation and growth
of new foundation and corporate giving programs. Highlights this year include:

• For the fourth ye~r, led a delegation of
twelve CMF members to Washington, DC
to share information on Michigan's philanthropic activity and to encourage cosponsorship of two bills important to grantmakers.

• Successfully defeated the Istook
Amendment by working in concert with
the Council on Foundations, Regional
Associations of Grantmakers, and other
nonprofit organizations.

• Contributed $5,000 on behalf of community fo undation members to challenge
FASB interpretations-working with the
Council on Foundations, New York
Community Trust, and others .

• Worked toward obtaining a Michigan tax
deduction for charitable contributions.
CMF contributed $5,000 to the effort on
behalf of members.

CMF's strong advocacy program will continue,
with the current year focusing on achieving
seven new legislative goals. A copy of CMF's
full Legislative Statement may be requested
from CMF Information Services.

• Achieved three of CMF's legislative goals
pertaining to Directors' and Officers'
Liability Insurance, the treatment of grants
by U.S. foundations to nonresident aliens,
and protection for charitable gift annuities.

CMFTrustees MargaretA . (Ranny) Riecker (Chair of the
CMF Government Relations Committee) and Bill Brooks

�Michigan Community
Foundations'Youth _Project
In 1988, when the $49 million Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth Project
(MCFYP) was established in partnership with
the WK. Kellogg Foundation, Michigan had
34 community foundations serving 28 counties. Today, 52 community foundations and 28
affiliates service 73 Michigan counties. Since
1988, community foundation grantmaking has
increased 93% to nearly $36 million and assets
have jumped by 205% to $712,728,426.
The purpose of MCFYP is to foster the development of Michigan community foundations
and to involve youth in grantmaking by offering challenge grants to community foundations meeting project criteria.
Michigan's community foundations now have
established permanent youth endowments valued at $27,324,086, overseen by more than
1 ,200 high school youth serving on youth
advisory committees (YACs) . Since MCFYP's
inception,YACs have made more than 1,120
grants totaling over $2 million to meet local
needs . In 1995/ 96, the Capital Region
Community Foundation, the Charlevoix
County Community Foundation, the Hillsdale
Community Foundation, and the Community
Foundation of St. Clair County completed the

terms of the $1 million Kellogg challenge.
Fourteen community foundations have now
completed the Kellogg challenge, which is
scheduled to end in 1998.
In addition, MCFYP awarded 54 mini-grants
totaling $40,290 for community foundation
board and staff training, administrative support,
and fund development training in 1995/96.
Finally, a companion grant from the Kellogg
Foundation assists community foundations in
implementing a common foundation information management system (FIMS).

"This is our chance to have some influence in our
community, resolve our dtfferences and reach consensus."

�Since 1990, the Michigan AIDS Fund
(MAF), has been Michigan's private philanthropic response to the AIDS epidemic.
Through collaborative grantmaking and
comprehensive, compassionate programs,
MAF has gained a national reputation for
producing results in the fight against AIDS.
More than $3.2 million has been awarded by
MAF to community-based AIDS-related organizations since its inception, and it has been
instrumental in helping organizations secure
and disburse considerable funding from other
sources. In the past year, more than $626,000
has been granted to 34 organizations throughout Michigan.

Community Foundations' Youth Project
(MCFYP) and the Michigan AIDS Fund
(MAF) became supporting organizations of
CMF under the provisions of Section
509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
CMF exercises control over these organizations through the appointment of board
members of each of these organizations.

"

Contributions and pledges to the endowment
funds have brought the current balance to

future years of$7,116,000 and $10,045 ,000

�Honorary Chairs, the DeVos Family, including (seated 1-r) Daniel and Pamella DeVos,
Doug and Maria DeVos, Richard DeVos; (standing 1-r) Robert and Cheri VanderWeide,
Betsy and Dick DeVos, and Helen DeVos.

Honorary Chairpersons The DeVos Family
Rich DeVos co-founded Amway in
1959 as an opportunity for anyone to
achieve their dreams. The idea of giving
people freedom and hope for earning
rewards through their own business has
grown into today's Amway Corporation
of more than 2.5 million Amway distributors in 75 countries and territories
around the world. The founding of
Amway acknowledged that each person
has the potential to succeed, but Rich
DeVos in his books and speeches also
maintains that everyone needs support
and some disadvantaged people need
help from those who are tnore fortunate.
He is a renowned speaker and self-proclaimed cheerleader who has encouraged
millions of people around the world
with his simple message of "You Can
Do It." He also is the author of two
books and numerous articles. His philosophy that anyone can achieve their
goals is expressed in his first book,
Believe!, and his belief that only those
who succeed can help others is explained
in his second book, Compassionate
Capitalism, and summed up in the
book's subtitle, "People Helping People
Help Themselves." Rich DeVos has
2

been married to Helen DeVos for 43
years. He has said it was Helen who
first insisted on their lifelong practice of
giving ten percent of their earnings to
God. In addition to their financial
tithes, they both give generously of their
time to serve and lead as board members
of charitable, educational, health, and
arts organizations. Their faith is reflected in support of Christian ministries in
Grand Rapids and worldwide, including
support of their church, LaGrave
Avenue Christian Reformed; Bethany
Christian Services; and an inner-city
building project of Grand Rapids Area
Center for Ecumenism (GRACE). The
Women and Children's Medical Center
at Butterworth Hospital in Grand
Rapids carries the name of Helen DeVos
in recognition of her longtime advocacy
for the well-being of families and children. The quality of life in Grand
Rapids has been enhanced by their substantial support of the arts, most notably
the Grand Rapids Symphony, and education, including Grand Valley State
University and Calvin College. The
work of the Richard and Helen DeVos
Foundation is now reflected in the foun-

�dations of each of their four children,
who also support through donations and
service Christian missions, education,
the arts, and children and families in
their community, state, and beyond.
Dick DeVos, President of Amway
Corporation, and his wife, Betsy, are
leading advocates for families and children, contributing to organizations that
support families and quality education
for all children. Their support and
involvement with Ada Christian School
and Potter House, a Christian school in
inner-city Grand Rapids, are examples
of their focus on educational choice, the
needs of disadvantaged students and
families, and Christian ministry. As a
co-chairman of the public effort to build
a just-completed 12,000-seat arena in
downtown Grand Rapids, Dick DeVos
continued the DeVos family leadership
of enhancing the economy and quality
of life of their hometown.
Doug DeVos, Amway Senior Vice
President and Managing Director of
Amway North American, and his wife,
Maria, also carry on the tradition of seeing potential in all people, focusing their
giving on agencies that support disadvantaged youth and families in the
inner-city Grand Rapids. They support
the home-building projects of InnerCity Christian Federation and inner-city
Christian ministries through their
church, LaGrave Avenue Christian
Reformed. Doug also has given generously of himself to benefit youth as
chairman of the Downtown Macker
Jam, which raises funds to help student
athletes in Grand Rapids, and as the

Leadership Giving Co-Chair on the
United Way Cabinet.
Dan DeVos, Amway Vice PresidentCorporate Affairs and Chairman of DP
Fox/Landquest Companies, and his
wife, Pam, continue the DeVos legacy of
supporting the arts and families, both
through their own gifts and through
leadership on boards that raise public
funds, including the Grand Rapids
Symphony, Grand Rapids Art Museum,
Mercy Respite Center, and Butterworth
Hospital. They support the Family
Outreach Center, among other charities.
They also are active in civic and business
activities that support the continued
economic development of Grand Rapids.
Cheri DeVos VanderWeide, Amway
Vice President - Corporate Affairs, is
chairwoman of the Orlando Magic
Youth Foundation, a trustee of United
Arts of Central Florida, and with her
husband, Bob VanderWeide, generously
supports the United Way. Her support
of youth also includes her office as
chairman of the Children's Hospital
Committee of Butterworth Hospital and

Dear Foundation and Corporate Grantmakers:
Welcome to the 24th Annual
Conference and to Grand Rapids!
It is a privilege this year to honor
the DeVos Family as honorary
chairs of this Conference - one of
Michigan's most "heartwarming"
philanthropic families.
Your Program Committee is excited
about having notable keynote
speakers Robert Wuthnow, Cornel
West, Sylvia Hewlett and Jane
Fonda. They along with many
other excellent presenters will discuss our Conference theme "The
Heart ofPhilanthropy. " The over
sixty innovative and dynamic sessions were designed to challenge
grantmakers to be visionary, take
action and produce outcomes.
Several mini-plenary sessions have
been identified to help grantmakers
more fully explore specific topics.
These include devolution, violence

prevention, women's issues, building healthy communities, estate
planning, and education. At the
same time there will be plenty of
"how-to" sessions covering key
administrative topics for family
foundations, community foundations, independent foundations and
corporate giving programs.
Numerous exciting tours have been
arranged which highlight issues relevant to the conference· theme
'The Heart ofPhilanthropy."
Community development, business
development, educational/ environmental partnerships, historic sites,
nature tour and a walking tour of
the downtown cultural avenue are a
few of the projects area grantmakers have partnered in. The Host
Committee also has planned two
fun evenings. On Wednesday
evening we will start off with a
reception at the Gerald R. Ford
4

Museum, followed by a lovely dinner, and concluding with a program by the Grand Rapids
Symphony. Thursday evening will
begin with a reception at the new
Van Andel Museum Center of the
Public Museum of Grand Rapids,
followed by a profoundly humorous interpretation by the musical
political troupe, The Capitol Steps.
Your ideas for future conferences
are important. When you see a
member of our Committee during
the Conference, please give us your
feedback. We want the 24th and
all future conferences to be helpful
to all of CMF's members - family
foundations, community foundations, independent foundations and
corporate giving programs, so we
look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for joining us and enjoy
the Conference.

The "heart" of the American people is still beating. Giving USA
reported individuals donated over
$100 billion - six and a-half times
more than foundations and corporations put together. Mr. Robert
Wuthnow, Professor of Sociology
at Princeton University and author
of several books including, ''Acts of
Compassion," will share current
research on the changing character
of American life. Speaking on volunteerism, charity, and compassion, he says "Compassion gives us
hope ... that the very act of helping
each other gives us strength and a
common destiny." Th~ough his
findings, he will demonstrate how
Americans have struggled to reconcile individualism and altruism.
A panel of foundation leaders will
respond to Mr. Wuthnow's
remarks and offer its views on the
future of volunteerism. The group
also will delve into how foundation leaders can encourage and
participate in a movement that will
shape our understanding of compassion, yet still allow us to be
10

individualistic and altruistic.

Education Reform and Charter
Schools: What Will Really Work
To Improve Our Schools?
Continental Room, Lobby Level
In Michigan, charter schools are
receiving a great deal of attention as
a promising means to establish
improved educational institutions
and to create competition that will
encourage existing educational
institutions to improve. There is
considerable experience with charter schools from around the country and those experiences - both
good and bad - provide important
lessons for Michigan as it pursues
its own school reform agenda. At
the same time, the charter schools
movement is only one of many
ideas on a continuum of education
reform theories and methods.
This session will feature presenters
who will review current educational
reform activities nationally and
place charter schools within the
context of other reform efforts.
They will describe what is known to
date from experiences with charter
schools, both in Michigan and elsewhere in the country, and describe
the impact of these reform efforts,
including how they are affecting
existing public schools systems.

Demystif)ring Evaluation 1:
Asking the Right Questions
President Ford, North Concourse
Evaluation is everyone's job and we
need to take it seriously. However,
the process for doing so need not
become a complex and daunting
task. Instead, meaningful evaluation
is more a matter of asking good
questions, getting answers to those
questions, and then using those
answers to become better at what we
do. In this session, presenters will
discuss how to make evaluation work
in a straight forward manner for funders of non-profits. In the following
session, "Demysti£Ying Evaluation
II," there will be breakout group discussions and nuts-and-bolts applications of the issues addressed.

Hewlett and West are co-chairs of

Wall Street journal said of the Task
Force: "You could no doubt get a
pretty strong dialogue going over

thing to see in them is that people of
different political persuasions are
now coming to some of the same
general conclusions about ideas that
might improve families."

often serve minority groups.

Hospitals - For Sale?

Is your nonprofit community hospital considering a sale to a forprofit corporation? A growing
number of Michigan communities
are dealing with this issue. What
are the philanthropic options for
the use of the assets generated by
the sale of a nonprofit hospital?
Discuss this and other questions
that affect philanthropy and the
future of health care in Michigan.

Investment Seminar I
Policy Parameters and Portfolio
Performance
President Ford, North Concourse

One of the most important decisions facing Foundation trustees is
the determination of policy parameters which guide the investment
management of the foundation
portfolio. The concept of a spending rule which shifts investment
management focus to total return
from income has raised new questions and issues for trustees. Also
addressed in this session will be
important issues relating to portfolio performance. Given the current
scenario for returns, what is a reasonable return expectation for the
foundation portfolio within its policy parameters? What measurement tools are typically used to
monitor investment performance?
These and other concerns will be
addressed.

Family Foundations
Should We Keep Grandma's and
Grandpa's Money at Home?
Heritage Hill, Conference Level

Limiting grants to the original
donor's hometown often becomes a
point of disagreement as family foundations broaden their governance to
include second and third generation
family members. Sons and daughters, nieces and nephews frequently
have geographic charitable interests
quite different from their parents and
grandparents. This session will feature a candid discussion by Michigan
family trustees who reside outside the
city and the state in which their family foundation is located.

Interwoven Destinies: A Call to
Philanthropic Leadership
Kendall, Conference Level
In launching the National AIDS
Fund, the Ford Foundation
demonstrated "the heart of philanthropy" and marshaled a corporate
response to AIDS. Since 1988 the
National AIDS Fund has granted
over $40 million in challenge
grants and supported over 2,400
Local Partner projects nationwide
to combat the AIDS epidemic in
the United States. Philanthropic
leadership in Michigan- inspired
and supported by the national
model - has successfully brought
together private, corporate and
public funders. The lessons learned
- nationally and in Michigan offer practical guidelines on how
philanthropy can take a leadership
role in creating public/private partnerships to address a wide range of
social problems in a devolutionary
environment.

�A Dialogue on Native American
Development: Issues &amp;
Opportunities
Kendall, Conference Level
While gaming is resulting in substantial income for a few tribes, it is
not a panacea for the incredible
poverty in the American Indian
world. Gaming proceeds are just
beginning to build a modest economic base where previously there
was none.
This session will look at opportunities for philanthropy to partner
with Indian communities still
needing better housing, good
health care, adequate schools, job
training programs, and cultural
institutions.

Men &amp; Boys: Male Responsibility

�Message
to Members

Dear CMF Members and Friends:
"25 years of grantmakers working together for Michigan's future" is our
theme as the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) begins its 25th year
of activity. Since 1973, CMF and Michigan grantmakers have been working
together to enhance, improve and increase philanthropy in Michigan. The
results have been outstanding as philanthropy contin~~s to grow in our state!
In this Annual Report we particularly want to note our 24 Annual
Conferences, and our wonderful partners throilghout Michigan that make
the results of our work together so satisfYing. As we look forward this fall to
our 25th Annual Conference, November 5-7 in Detroit, it is important to
reflect on the contributions of distinguished honorary chairs of past conferences, many of whom set the stage for the work that we are able to do today.
Our Annual Conference always features our partnerships, and the list of
our regional and statewide partners fortunately keeps on growing. We were
pleased to welcome several new partners this year, such as the Great Lakes
Protection Fund and the Lilly Endowment in partnership with the Indiana
Humanities Council and Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy.
To deal with public skepticism about foundations and the nonprofit sector, a number of our partnerships in this next year will focus more effort on
informing the public, media, and legislators of your good work, and on
helping you do the same. We must all do a better job of communicating
how grants are making a difference in the lives of individuals, nonprofits ,
and communities throughout Michigan.
We appreciate your support and thank the more than 500 volunteers
who contribute their time to CMF. We look with excitement to your continued involvement as we work together for Michigan's future.

core curriculum. A diverse group of test sites have been chosen and
teaching units will be la~nched during the 1997-98 school year. This project is supported by the WK. Kellogg Foundation and The Lilly

�Treasurer's Report

The Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF) is an association
of foundations and corporations
that makes grants for charitable
purposes. Since its incorporation
in 1975, CMF has enhanced,
improved, and increased philanthropy _in the State of Michigan,
primarily by serving its members.
Since the inception of CMF
more than twenty-five years ago,
the method of serving and delivering services has changed significantly, making financial comparisons
over the last twenty, ten or even
five years difficult. For example, in
addition to the core CMF operations , we currently have two supporting organizations (the Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth
Project and the Michigan AIDS
Fund) . CMF also continues to
pursue funding for other special
projects. These projects may be
short- or long-term in nature, and
the majority of funds received for
such projects represents funds that
are re-granted to CMF's members.
The core CMF operations
continue to provide basic services,
including conferences and meetings

that have doubled in size in the past
five years. The Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth
Project and the Michigan AIDS
Fund are classified as supporting
organizations under provisions of
Section SQ9(a) (3) of the Internal
Reyenue Code. Both organizations
have experienced continued growth
over the past year, due to contributions for special projects and an
increase in general purpose grants
which are re-granted to CMF
members and other nonprofits
throughout the State of Michigan.
Ernst &amp; Young LLP has issued
an unqualified opinion on the
combined Financial Statements of
CMF and its supporting organizations for the years ended March 31,
1997 and 1996. The combined
financial statements on the attached
page have been derived from the
Ernst &amp; Young audit report, prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principals
(GAAP). The audited financial
statements are available for public
inspection at the Council of
Michigan Foundations' office, and
as always, we would be pleased to
answer any questions you have
regarding the enclosed financial
statements.

�Grants That Make a Difference
Please give a brief description of a 1995 grant from your community foundation that, in
your opinion, has had the most impact on your community.
Albion Civic Fnd.

Ann Arbor Area
Comm. Fnd.

Berrien Com. Fnd.

In 1995 our Foundation supported classes in the arts at the
elementary and junior high level. These classes were
attended by a cross-section of Albion children and were
taught by professionals in various fields . In addition to
learning techniques, children who might have been left alone
after school were given a safe place to be. It is unclear what
the long-range impact will be, but children, art teachers, and
school teachers have been grateful.
· Child &amp; Family Service (C&amp;FS)- $25,000 award to
fund a Manager of Service Development position for the
Washtenaw County Collaborative Transportation
Implementation Task Force, a public/private, communitywide coordinated transportation project. This project began
in early 1994 when representatives from human service
agencies around the county met to discuss concerns over
clients not able to get to clinical services, jobs, health care
or other appointments because of transportation problems.
As it now stands, this task force has become the County
Transportation Systems Management, a consortium of
community partners working collaboratively to improve
access to opportunities and services for Washtenaw County.
The Golden Acorn Excellence in Teaching Award is a
program to recognize and reward outstanding teachers who
reach beyond traditional methods to affect change and
improve the educational status quo . A total of $16,500 in
teacher and classroom mini-grants were awarded in 1995 .

Branch Co. Com. Fnd.

In 1995, the Foundation awarded $1,500 to the Friends of
the St. Joe River Association. This grassroots organization
was formed to address trash buildup, contamination, and
fish depletion in the St. Joseph River and its tributaries. An
initial $1,000 grant was approved for the association for
start-up expenses. The group was later given a proactive
grant of $500 based on their efficient use of the previous
award. "Friends ofthe St. Joe River" has been quite
successful in organizing large numbers of volunteers and has
made significant strides in improving the quality of life in
Branch County. The long-term environmental effects that
this growing, active organization will have on the area are
immeasurable.

Buchanan Area Fnd.

The Foundation is committed to the full automation of the
Buchanan Public Library. This includes weeding out old
books, installing the proper equipment for identifying and
coding books, and the computer hardware and software to
facilitate lending procedures and research enhancement for
all library patrons. We anticipate the entire project may
cover a period of five years and will make our library ready
to join the Information Age in the 21st century. Our first
purchase ($4400) was for software to initiate the project.

Cadillac Area Com. Fnd .

A grant to the Wexford Soil Conservation to assist with
environmental clean up of Clam River.

Capital Region
Com. Fnd.

Perhaps the most visible project funded by the Foundation
was a grant made through two of the Foundation's funds,
the Lansing Fund and the Oldsmobile Classic Youth
Charities Fund. The grant provided for a children's
playground within Oldsmobile Parks, the city's newly
christened minor league baseball stadium. The stadium has
been part of a downtown renaissance which attracts sports
and special-event enthusiasts from around the mid-Michigan
area. Because ofthe stadium, the park and the ptayground,
the city is alive once again with activities bringing families
together in the heart of the State's Capital City.

�(continued)
Capital Region (can ' t.)

In concert with the opening of Oldsmobile Park, the Lansing
Fund conducted a buy-a-brick program with charitable
proceeds going for the "betterment of the Lansing
community and the mid-Michigan area." Nearly 4,500
bricks were sold and placed at the Park.

Charlevoix County
Com. Fnd.

Between 1993 and 1996 the Foundation and the Y AC
awarded a total of 14 grants to Raven Hill Discovery Center
for the development of a hands-on science museum. The
museum was the dream oftwo dedicated, local science
teachers. In 1991, they built a small facility using their own
capital to house the first exhibits. Within four years, two
additions to the original building and two new buildings
have been constructed, and attendance has surpassed 27,000
students. The hands-on museum is unique in this area
because it is the only center of its type with a triple
emphasis on science, history and art- all related aspects of
each exhibit.

Com. Fnd. of
Greater Flint

A grant to the Genesee Area Focus Council for the
purpose of supporting the development of the Flint
Automotive Industry Project. This effort has as its focus an
examination of the future of the automotive industry in the
Flint area, which will result in implementing programs and
strategies to retain automobile manufacturing in the area
and to help prepare the community tb diversify its economic
base. The Focus Council is composed of a group of private
sector leaders (both in the corporate and nonprofit fields)
and brings together all the key players in the economic
development arena.

The Fremont Area
Foundation

In 1995, the foundation awarded a grant to Newaygo
County Community Services (NCCS) for operating costs.
NCCS is a nonprofit human service agency that provides
emergency services and many other services for needy
Newaygo County residents . NCCS also provides a variety
of cultural programs such as student art and music contests,
children's chorus, art exhibits, and other arts programs.
NCCS is a volunteer-based organization committed to
meeting basic human needs and enriching the quality of life
for all area residents .

Grand Haven Area
Community Fdn.

A $3,000 grant to support Camp Bluebird, a pilot program
in the Tri-cities area. Four local nonprofit agencies
collaborated in bringing this unique camp to West Michigan.
In May, 20 adults with cancer spent three days together at
the Camp. This was a time for sharing as well as
participating in group sessions, activities and talking to
medical professionals and pastors, all in an effort to help
them deal with their terminal illness. It was the first camp in
West Michigan and was deemed a success.

The Grand Rapids Fnd.

A $1 million grant toward the new Van Andel Arena has
spurred economic development in the Heartside area and
throughout downtown. The Arena will provide
employment for neighborhood residents. The development
has also had the effect of coalescing residents, advocates,
and social service providers in the neighborhood in an effort
to avoid displa~ement of the low-income neighborhood
residents . Now, plans for an urban green space in the
Heartside area are moving forward.

Gratiot Community Fnd .

Our very first grant was to an elementary teacher who used
the small amount of money to implement a store in her 4th
grade classroom. The students learned the roles of
consumer, businessperson and banker. They learned to
choose how to spend their money, whether to save for a
large item or buy instantly, and how to borrow and loan
money. These young people are receiving hands-on
experience to become productive community members.

Greenville Area Fnd.

The Optimist's Camp for disabled children is the only camp
of its kind in Michigan and has continued for the past 3 0
years with support from alternative education funds which
have been drastically cut. They fear they will have to close
the camp permanently. Currently, we are trying to leverage
permanent support to continue the camp in future years.

Hillsdale Com. Fnd.

A $2,000 grant was given to the Hillsdale Arts Choral. This
money provided an additional performance of the full dress
rehearsal of"Amahl and the Night Visitors for 350 5th and
6th grade students from throughout Hillsdale County. The
schools provided chaperones and busing.

Comm. Fnd. ofthe
Holland/Zeeland Area

A 1996 grant was given to The Community Health Center,
a health care facility for health care recipients without
insurance or Medicaid. We believe that this meets an acute
health care need in our rapidly growing community. People
pay as they are able; however, no one is turned away for
medical care ifthey do not have the means to pay.

The Jackson Com. Fnd.

The Jackson Community Foundation made grants of
$125,000 to help organize and start up the Michigan
Coalition for Essential Schools (formerly Mid-Michigan
Education Coalition). This organization was established to
support and facilitate grass roots school change. Since its
establishment one year ago, its influence, assistance and
membership has extended to all parts of the lower and upper
peninsula and surrounding states.

Kalamazoo Fnd .

A grant to funa a Guidance Clinic program that helps
identify parents at risk of abusing and neglecting their
children and offers educational support.

Marquette Com. Fnd .

The YAC recommended a $2,000 grant to Northern Lights
Youth for Christ to sponsor an alcohol and drug free youth
New Year's Eve party. This recommendation was based on
the successful experience of the Y AC planning and hosting
a similar event. The grantee was very cooperative in
working with the community foundation in using more
youth to plan the event and using the results of the previous
event's evaluation by incorporating lessons learned. (See
Pro-active Youth Grants)

Marshall Com. Fnd.

The Marshall Community Foundation supported with
$50,000 Oaklawn Hospital's project to update to state of
the art, helical CT scanning and nuclear medicine
equipment. The availability ofthe new instrumentation
offers the residents of Marshall and surrounding service
areas the most accurate and timely diagnostic tools possible.

Midland Foundation

For the past several years, the Midland Foundation has been
involved in the construction of the Pere Marquette RailTrail of Mid-Michigan, a 22-rnile linear park in Midland
County. The trail, which stretches from Midland to
Coleman, is in constant use and has had a positive
recreational, economic, aesthetic and environmental impact
on Midland County.

Com. Fnd. of
Monroe County

Scholarship programs, Triple Crown Weekend, and the
Holiday Parade.

Mt. Pleasant Area Com. Fnd. $2,000 granted to the Korean War Memorial. The
Community Foundation's name was used, successfully, as a
reference and a backer to solicit funds for this project. The
memorial was bought and placed in the center of the city.
This grant gave the community foundation stature and
prestige and g~ve Isabella County a Korean War memorial
and the knowledge-that they have a community foundation
that is willing to fund and support new ideas.
Com. Fnd. for
Muskegon Co.

Volunteer, Muskegon!, a new volunteer center, opened for
business in Muskegon as a result of an initiative of the
Community Foundation, partnering with the Michigan
CARES project and Michigan United Way. Since its
opening in February, Volunteer, Muskegon! has matched
thousands of volunteer to community projects, presented an
Indiana School ofFundraising training to area nonprofits
and provided a permanent home to the Youth Volunteer
Corps, and other projects initiated by grant funding of the
Community Foundation.

Com. Fnd. for NE MI

The Huron Shores Writing Institute was granted $4,500 for
94 students to participate in a writing workshop. It gave
the participants the opportunity to have a "thinking and
writing" experience - with peer groups, one-on-one sessions
and special presentations on history, poetry, storytelling,
etc. Students from Mulhausen, Germany were international
guests for this event. A cross-culture exchange took place
as well as a literary experience.

Petoskey/Harbor Spring
Area Comm. Fnd.

A grant to the Alanson Area Neighborhood Watch Program
was seed money to support a crime prevention program,
community pride program, and assist with publication of a
newsletter.

Gr. Rochester Com. Fnd.

In our opinion, the category of grants that had the most
impact on our community would be "education &amp;
scholarships." There were 15 grants for scholarships and 3
grants to support B.ochester Community Schools; total for
this category for 1995 -over $20,000.

Saginaw Com. Fnd.

The Saginaw Community Foundation helped fund an all-clay
Racial Harmony Forum in November 1994 which was
attended by over 300 peopl~. The forum, a collaborative
effort of the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce,
United Way of Saginaw County, the Human Relations
Commission of the City of Saginaw, and Saginaw Valley
State University, was organized to begin looking at race as
an issue that is divisive to our community.

Com. Fnd. of
St. Clair County

The mission of DARES is to help prevent or reduce the
incidence of domestic violence, sexual assault and
homelessness through direct support services to victims and
their families. In 1993-1994, the shelter served 327 women
and 282 children for a total of4,322 nights.
DARES was able to build a new, modern facility to meet
the ever-increasing demands for shelter services. After
construction was well along, it was discovered that the
budget did not include funds to meet ADA re_quirements,
namely ar elevator. Without it, the building could not open.
$13,200 was granted for that purpose. Today DARES is
fulfilling their mission and providing this needed service to
the community.

�Leadership Role in Community Foundations
Community Foundations often impact their communities in ways that may or may· not
involve specific grants. Please briefly describe the leadership role played by your
community foundation in the past year of which you are most proud.
Albion Civic Fnd.

1995 was a growing year for our foundation. We
determined the need to "get our house in order" in
preparation for taking a stronger leadership role in the
community. Some ofthe steps that we have taken of which
we are proud: hired a full-time Executive Director, joined
the Nonprofit Alliance; attended the Carver Governance
Training; established investment guidelines and spending
policy to understand how to have more money available for
grants; establish an interboard committee to help connect
with other community and county boards; participated in
discussion with Kellogg Foundation, Michigan CARES and
the other community foundations in Calhoun County which
has led to the establishment of Calhoun CARES. In
September, a group of area nonprofits met to see how to
work together to strengthen our nonprofit boards. We are
still working through the details of many of these items, but
we feel 1995 and 1996 have brought us closer to what we
would like to be as a community foundation .

Alger Regional
Com. Fnd .

The Foundation held a day-long retreat to develop long
range plans for ARCF and Alger Couf)ty. During the retreat
the Board completed exercises in visioning and community
assessment, developed a mission statement, hired an
executive director, and established long range and
intermediate goals for the foundation. Since submitting the
Youth Grant Challenge application to CMF, the Board has
met weekly to develop policies, public relations campaigns,
solicit funds and organize the youth advisory council. As
we meet our first Challenge match, we will now be able to
increase our visibility through grantmaking and community
development and thereby play a larger role in community
leadership.

Ann Arbor Area
Com. Fnd .

The role of which we are most proud is the "spotting or
anticipating problems and acting to prevent them", in
particular as it relates to the issue of dating violence . The
AAACF and its Youth Council collaborated with the Junior
League of Ann Arbor and the Domestic Violence

Ann Arbor Area
Com. Fnd (con't.)

Project/S.A.F.E. House in developing a three-year teen
dating violence prevention program for the county's high
schools and, also, assisted in organizing and sponsoring a
two-day conference that attracted state-wide attendance on
the issue in October 1995.

Branch Co. Com. Fnd.

During the past year, the Foundation has taken an active
leadership role in the planning for our community's future.
In 1995, the addition ofthe Colon Foundation Fund as a
geographic component fund extended this involvement to
the Colon Community School District. As a young
foundation, we are striving to raise the public's awareness
of philanthropy and responsiveness to changing community
needs. We cooperate with other community agencies and
services as a resource for those groups. The Foundation
continues to increase its permanent endowment fund in
order to provic!_e for the current and future needs of area
residents.
-

Buchanan Area Fnd.

One of our smallest grants has had the most impact on our
community. Through the collaborative efforts of a city
activities committee and Buchanan school health nurse, we
provided incentives for using the mobile health clinic of the
area health department for an afternoon a month outside our
area schools at the start of school in 1995. The response
was so overwhelming (over 600 immunizations the first two
months) that the mobile clinic now visits one afternoon
every month. For the first time, Buchanan has access to
health service without the need to drive to a distant
government office.

Capital Region Com. Fnd.

The Foundation has been working with ry.ine other
community funders to establish the position of a Community
Grants Facilitator. This innovative program has been
funded with the dual objective of bringing more dollars into
the community for collaborative problem solving and of
helping area nonprofits determine potential sources of
funding.

Com. Fnd . of
Greater Flint

The Foundation was one of 12 community foundations
nation-wide to receive a $75,000 planning grant (matched
by $25,000 in local funds) from the National Collaborative
for Violence Prevention, a group of private foundations and
the U.S. Departments of Justice and Housing and Urban
Development, in May 1995, and has been engaged in a
neighborhood based planning effort designed to organize
low income neighborhoods to reduce violence in their areas.
It is anticipated that implementation grants of up to
$150,000 annually for two years (based on raising $300,000
locally) will be received as a result of this planning process,
which has involved the Foundation, agencies and
organization that deal with the causes and consequences of
violence, and hundreds of neighborhood residents.

The Fremont Area
Foundation

The foundation has accepted the responsibility for
convening community leaders to develop a county-wide
leadership program. The Leadership Institute for Newyago
County (LINC) will bring together people with diverse
backgrounds to develop their individual leadership potential
and maximize the community resources to benefit the
quality of life in Newaygo County.

Grand Haven Area
Com. Fnd.

We continue our involvement with the Northwest Ottawa
Area Community Coalition which is a collaborative of
concerned citizens from public agencies, private nonprofit
groups, schools, churches and businesses working together
to provide support and encouragement to area youth
families. NOACC-funded programs in the community
include DARE, community policing and parent training
seminars. Neighborhood Centers have been established in
area elementary schools bringing a variety of services to
each neighborhood, each differing, depending on the needs
of the families living in those neighborhoods.

Gratiot Co. Com. Fnd.

With the support of our Board of Trustees and the active
involvement of individual members, the Gratiot County
Strategic Plan has successfully completed the 1996 planning
stage for many segments of Gratiot County. Our board is
collectively or individually involved in many community
programs and projects which are included as part ofthe
Strategic Plan and will work to reach goals and visions of
the Plan.

Greenville Area Fnd.

We have participated in the Coalition for Greater Greenville
(COGG) steering and planning committees, The Healthy
Teen Task Force, and are continuing our help and support
of the development and building of a new district Library.

Hillsdale Co. Com. Fnd .

We are spearheading a drive to raise funds for the purchase
or construction of office facilities which would house many
ofthe Hillsdale County nonprofit organizations in one
location. The organizations would be required to carry only
· the ongoing expenses ofthe building. We view this as an
opportunity to cut the administrative expenses of the
agencies, freeing more of their funds for projects.

Com. Fnd.
of Holland/Zeeland Area

The community foundation has been a catalyst for needed
change in this community by bringing the Holland/Zeeland
communities together into one foundation. Previous leaders
gave us little hope for this to happen. However, in working
with both foundations, a trust developed. The Kellogg
Challenge Program gave us the carrot on the stick we
needed .

The Jackson Com. Fnd.

In its community foundation role, JCF acted as a catalyst for
needed change, leveraged funds to meet this need,
stimulated partnerships and gave technical assistance for the
· creation ofthe Michigan Coalition for Essential School.

staff in planned giving CEP has brought the community
together in a non-competitive manner.

M&amp;MArea
Com. Fnd.

Although M &amp; M Area Community Foundation is so new
that it has not played much of a leadership role in its
communities, its Board ofDirectors is made up of
individuals who have played active roles in civic affairs for
some time. Looking to the future, the M&amp;MACF would
expect to be heavily involved, not only in leveraging funds
to meet community needs, but to take active part in
community planning and solving problems which cross
county and state lines.

Marquette Com. Fnd.

As a spinoff from a 1994 conference, "Joining Forces :
Strengthening the Circle of Caring Communities for
Children," a team of 7 diverse individuals from the
community created a goal and defined a strategy for
helping to make the community more family friendly . The
result was the "Family Friendly Community Guide';, a
monthly guide containing a comprehensive calendar of
events and articles highlighting community assets that
benefit families . Our executive director played a leadership
role throughout the process and the guide will soon
celebrate its one year anniversary.

·J

Marshall Com. Fnd .

During the past year, the Marshall Community Foundation
has served as a community convener, bringing together two
food banks which function in the same area. We have
attempted to encourage coordination of service and food
warehousing . This process is still in place.

93

�Leadership Role in Community Foundations
(continued)
Midland Foundation

The role which has been undertaken most often in the past
year is one of providing technical assistance to nonprofits:
mentoring fund development; establishing agency,
incubator, or project funds; researching potential
grantmakers for nonprofits to approach; co-sponsoring a
local F ASB workshop; assisting nonprofits to understand
how tax regulations impact their fundraising efforts.

Com. Fnd. of
Monroe County

Plans to erect a monument to those who served in World
War II. Though Monroe County has monuments to
commemorate other wars, none has ever been dedicated to
the World Wars . Also, the County ofMonroe Against
Gangs (COMAG), a collaborative program dedicated to
preventing youth violence and gang activity through
community awareness, intervention and education.

Mt. Pleasant Area
Community F dn.

The Community Foundation was the catalyst for creating a
committee to establish a community center for Isabella
County. This committee is now called the CRC and is on its
way to breaking ground for the first stage of the community
center. The community foundation continues to work
side by side with this project.

Community Foundation
for Muskegon Co.

In 1995 the Muskegon Foundation led a successful $16
million bond issue to renovate the Frauenthal Theater and
L.C. Walker arena. This project began in 1976 when the
Foundation purchased the historic Frauenthal Theater,
saving it from certain ruin and preserving the heart of
Muskegon's vital downtown. Every year since we've
contributed more than $65,000 to its upkeep . However, in
1995 we determined that the building required $7.5 million
in major structural and mechanical renovations. The
Foundation then proposed that the community support both
the theater and a downtown arena with a bond proposal and
led the campaign to accomplish this feat. In November
1995, the community rallied around the project and voted
"yes" to preserve downtown Muskegon's performing arts
and entertainment facilities .

�Leadership Role in Community Foundations
(continued)
Com. Fnd. for
Northeast Michigan .

The Foundation has sponsored a Community Leaders
Luncheon monthly during the academic year for the past
several years. It is an opportunity for community leaders to
convene and discuss community issues. It stimulates public
and private partnerships and has. been utilized for
community planning for the future . It also has helped to
develop community leaders by offering a venue through
which an individual can meet and get to know their peers, as
well as share their experiences and learn about the work
being done by other organizations in our community.

Petoskey/Harbor Springs
Area Com. Fnd.

We play a convening role by sponsoring quarterly meetings
of Emmet County nonprofit directors (the Brown Bag
Bunch) to network and share information and resources.
From this has grown the ability to act as one unit when
needed, to share resources and ideas, to collaborate and to
support one anot.ber. Our YAC acts as a catalyst for change
in our community through their role as grantmakers. They
have caused more community groups to look at youth as
assets and to trust and respect their knowledge . By
investing in the development oftoday's youth, we're
helping tomorrow's adults learn about good leadership and
the importance of caring for their community and its people.

Greater Rochester
Area Com. Fnd.

We are proud ofthe leadership role our community
foundation has played in the community by becoming more
visible by convening community discussions that involve
community planning for the future and striving to serve as a
neutral party by bringing different groups together to
address challenges. We have also tried to become known
as a neutral party for community leaders.

The community foundation, in cooperation with the United
Way, began a series of meeting with the Leonard Center, a
drop-in center located in the southern portion ofthe City of
Port Huron. The Center serves a minority population.
Over the years it has struggled financially, resulting in the
lack offull-time leadership. Through discussions, the
community foundation has involved the Port Huron Area
School District, the City ofPort Huron and the United Way
in providing support to keep the center open. This
involvement by the community foundation provided
technical and financial assistance to the nonprofit.

�25 PROACTIVE AND CREATIVE GRANTS MADE BY
YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEES

Albion Civic Foundation

The grant for a baseball pitching machine has
served the need of both boys and girls over a
wide age span for a worthwhile activity to
improve a skill while spending leisure time in
a caring environment. Improving a skill also
leads to building self-esteem, which is
lacking in many ofthe participants.

Ann Arbor
Com. Fnd

This issue ofyouth violence/conflict
prevention was a focus. for the AAACF in
1995 . The YAC issued a RFP announcing
$25,000 in available grant funds for
programs focusing on the issue of youth
violence/conflict issues as well as
unrestricted youth programs in the arts,
education, recreational fields, and health and
human services. The $6,650 award to the
Ann Arbor Art Center for the Teen Art
Studio program is the grant that most clearly
met the intent of the RFP . Eight different
student-designed programs at neighborhood
centers across Ann Arbor served low income
teenagers for eight weeks .

Berfien Community Foundation, Inc.

The Link Crisis Intervention Center was
awarded a $5,000 grant in the spring of 1995
to support the Youth Peer-to-Peer
Counseling Program. This program provides
training for youth to act as peer counselors
for runaways, homeless and at risk youth.
Through weekly training sessions the youth
learn skills that allow them to confront issues
and to act as peer counselors i~ a~
nonjudgmental manner .

Branch County Community Foundation

1995. This money was issued to establish a

(continued)
Branch County Community Foundation

The grant given to Lakeland Elementary in
199 5. This money was issued to establish a
peer mediator training program, modeled
after the one used in Flint. The mediators
assist their fellow students by teaching them
a problem-solving process, so that
disagreements can be resolved without
physical or verbal aggression. Students are
trained to listen and offer positive feedback
to their peers who are dealing with conflicts.

Buchanan Area Com. Fdn.

The Y AC provided suggestions for and
funded a Teen Info Card initiated by the
Buchanan Community Schools Drug Free
Schools Committee that lists a variety of
"hot lines" and help agencies for teen issues
-from AIDS to pregnancy to drug
intervention services. The cards were
distributed to every middle and high school
student in our area. If the proof is in youth
response, this project was needed and
appreciated .

Cadillac Area Community Foundation

Eric Chester Leadership and Self-Esteem
Training Day for all high school students.

Capital Region Community Fnd.

TheY AC funded five programs in 1995 that
specifically met the criteria targeted in their
youth assessment survey. In each case,
Youth PAC was judicious in selecting only
those programs that were valued by peers
and which were perceived of being of long
term benefit to community problem solving.
Programs funded were both preventative and
treatment oriented, although a prevalent
theme was programs that dealt with teens as
parents or as potential parents.

25 Proactive Youth Grants
(continued)
Charlevoix County Community Fnd .

The YAC decided to focus on two of the major
needs, scarcity of recreational activities and
facilities and the lack ofthings to do, and expand
existing programs and facilities and create new
opportunities. Three grants were made to
purchase new field equipment and to support
major facility renovations for expansion of the
county-wide soccer program. In addition, three
multi-year awards provided early financial
support for the establishment of a teen activity
center; the construction of an official size,
outdoor ice hockey arena; and the development of
127 miles of recreational trails in a three county
area.

Comm Fnd. of
Greater Flint

The County-wide Youth Initiative Program
to Mott Children's Health Center to support
re12rinting the Youth Yellow Pages. This
represents the fourth printing of this pocketsize directory of services for youth, which is
a testimonial to its popularity.

The Fremont Area
Foundation

The YEAR (Youth Echoes About Reality)
Youth Advisory Committee gave a grant to
White Cloud Public Schools' Cultural
Diversity Day program to hire a speaker.
Although the promotion of cultural diversity
was not found to be a primary need of
Newaygo County's youth, the speaker did
address other issues of concern to our young
people. The focus on accepting and
understanding other people for who they are
and promoting every individual's self-worth
helped youth to appreciate themselves, their
inherent value, and to avoid self-destructive
behavior.

Grand Haven Area Community Fnd.

The Youth Committee of the Grand Haven
Area Community foundation responded to
the need for a community youth center by
granting $10,000 to a local church that
sponsors a music and dance club for teens in
112

Grand Haven Area Com. Fnd. (con't.)

the Tri-Cities area. Approximately 350
young people from lakeshore area high
schools attend the Friday night dances in a
safe and drug-free environment. The club is
overseen by a volunteer board of directors
who responded to the need for a "positive,
safe and absolutely fun place for teenagers."

The Grand Rapids Foundation

A $1 0, 61 0 grant to the Grand Rapids
YWCA allowed implementation of the
Choices program, of a life-skills program for
adolescent girls age 12-14. The program
develops self-esteem, self-awareness and life
skills. It was offered to students attending
Park School, the Grand Rapids Public
School for pregnant teens and teen-age
-mothers. Research has shown that the
program will help prevent girls from getting
pregnant for a second time, by helping them
recognize that they have choices in their
lives.

Greenville Area Foundation

Baby Think It Over, a program to fight
teenage pregnancy. These computerized
dolls were provided to the 8th grade middle
school children. Both male and female
students had the opportunity to care for a
"newborn baby" for two or three days.

Hillsdale County Com. Fnd.

The grant to the Waldron Public Library was
the most successful pro-active grant made by
the youth in 1995. This grant for a computer
and accessories encouraged the library to
provide staffing for after school use, thus
creating a new after school activity for
youth. An additional spin-off _was the
creation of a youth auxiliary for the library
which continues to meet regularly.

Community Foundation ofthe
Holland/Zeeland Area

The grant for start-up cost to Child
Development Services. This is a prevention
program that has long-range benefits for our
young people. With good supervision and
leadership, this could help needy families
have child care that gets them started in the
right direction. Our needs survey indicated
that poor home conditions lead to teen
pregnancy, drug use and abuse, crime, etc.

The Jackson Community Foundation

To promote the necessity of youth
understanding the importance of prejudice
and its profound effects, the Jackson Youth
Advisory Committee (Yes for Youth) funded
an educational outreach program associated
with the production of "The Diary of Anne
Fr&lt;1nk." This included an exhibit that
highlights the plights of Jewish children
during World War II and a two day forum
with speakers who made presentations on
actual experiences. This was delivered to all
8th grade students in Jackson County.

Kalamazoo Foundation

Kalamazoo Deacon's Conference--to initiate
a program that focuses on community
awareness, activities, and involvement for
drug users, dealers, or any youth ages 12-18
who make a commitment to try to stay drug
free. Weekly activities will be planned and
community members with similar experiences
will be available to offer support and advice
to youth. It is also hoped that this program
will be successful in connecting youth with
resources offered by the Deacon's
conference and other networking agencies
addressing needs such as job tr.ainlng and
employment counseling.

Marshall Community Foundation

A grant to enable Marshall students to
participate in the Alaska Great Lakes
Project. It provided Marshall students first
hand exposure to Prince William Sound that
was polluted by the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
Students researched the area and the effects
the catastrophe had on wildlife and
vegetation. Students then visited the Great
Lakes to compare pollution effects in that
area. This project's participation has
increased significantly over the year.

Com. Fnd. of
Monroe County

Youth Leadership Monroe. A program
designed to develop the leadership potential
-ofa(ea high school students and encourage
young people to participate as leaders in
their schools and communities.

Mt. Pleasant Area Community Fnd.

TheY AC funded two area schools afterprom activities. The parties were so
successful in keeping the youth in controlled
but fun environments, that the Y AC decided
to offer $100 to each school that organized
an after-prom event and open it to all
students attending the prom.

Community Foundation for
Muskegon County

In the past three years, the Muskegon Y AC
has granted over $30,000 through a Summer
Mini-Grant Recreation Program. The Minigrant program was created by the Y AC in
response to both our needs assessment and
speakers who concurred that one of the most
vulnerable age groups for gang recruitment
and choices leading to school dropout was
I 0 to 16. The Summer Mini-grarrt program
funds positive summer experiences and has
allowed thousands of youth to participate in
projects as diverse as Theater On Wheels to
Volunteer Teen Graffiti Removal Teams.

Com. Fnd
for Northeast Michigan

The P AAMY AC granted $2,200 to itself to
their first "Outstanding Youth ofNortheast
Michigan Report"- an eight-page tabloid in
The Alpena News. The report showcased 78
youth from our four-county area with
pictures of each youth and a brief report of
their accomplishments. The criteria for the
report was that the youth had to ( 1) be
involved in individual or group activities
which have made a positive contribution to
his or her community, or (2) overcome an
obstacle and go on to achieve success. Our
Y AC wanted to give these youth recognition
that so often goes unnoticed because they
may not be sports heroes or in the top ten
percent of their class. We wanted to help
build self-esteem in these outstanding young
people and show them how proud we are of
them. It was a wonderful success and has
become an annual project.

Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area
Community Foundation

A grant totaling $3,000 to the Littlefield
Public Schools to start an afternoon school
childcare program in the school.

Greater Rochester Area
Community Foundation

The grant that had the most impact on youth
in 1995 was the $400 youth grant that our
youth committee granted in prizes for
students in two districts that responded to
an essay contest. The essay contest was
orchestrated by our youth committee to
reach grades K-12 about youth involvement
and how to addresses changes needed for
youth in the community. Literature was
circulated to approximately 16,200 students
in two districts.

We are delighted to welcome you back to Detroit for

This year we are privileged to honor William
Davidson as Honorary Chair of the Conference. He
has given immensely to the quality of life in southeastern Michigan, both individually and as Chairman of
The Pistons-Palace Foundation. His many contributions are also well-known on the national and international levels.
The Progran1 Committee has planned a dynamic
series of plenary and concurrent sessions for the conference. From philanthropy's relationship with the
media to the ethics of cloning to welfare reform and
building community assets, there are sessions that will
appeal to the interests of every participant! We will be
joined by such speakers as Charles Gibson,Jeremy
Rifkin,James Kunstler, and Isaac Stern to help us
explore ways to Connect People and Potential and
provide A View to the 21st Century.
There will be special tracks for family foundations,
community foundations and corporate grantmakers.
In addition, at the request of past year's participants,
there are more networking opportunities this year.

These include "Peer Parties," special receptions by type
of organization on Thursday afternoon.
For your enjoyment, your Host Committee has
planned a grand series of activities. You'll have the
opportunity to see some of the changes that have been
occurring in the city of Detroit. The Committee has
arranged tours of some of the area's most interesting
sites, including the new Museum of African American
History, the largest facility of its type in the world, and
the Detroit Institute of Arts' exhibition of"Splendors
of Ancient Egypt," one of the largest exhibits of
ancient Egyptian treasures to visit the U.S. in many
years. And, for the first time this year, some of the
tours are being offered on Thursday and Friday.
The evenings will be just as splendid as the days
will be educational! Wednesday's dinner at the Westin
will include the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's Brass
Ensemble and a special Detroit Afterglow with
Martha Reeves and Vandellas. Thursday evening's festivities will take place at the new world-class Detroit
Opera House.
The members of the Program and Host
Committees and the staff of the Council of Michigan

joining us for this 25th annual event. Enjoy the
Conference!

Richard, Level 5
The old policies and programs that helped children find
permanent homes are becoming more responsive to the
needs of adoptive families and children. There are several national and state initiatives to change the laws regulating adoption. Although the Binsfeld Commission of
the 1980s produced improvements for infant adoptions,
adoption of older children waiting years for families continues to be a high need. The Bandele program of
Spaulding for Children works with churches in the
African American communi ty to find homes for African
American children. Lutheran Adoption Services operates
the Standby Guardianship Program to help special needs
children find homes.

Selling Nonprofit Hospitals:
Community Concerns/Philanthropic
Opportunities
Marquette, Level 5

Can Welfare Reform Succeed Without Workforce
Development?
Cadillac A, Level 5

Moderator: Margaret A. Talburtt, Executive Director,
Michigan Women's Foundation, Livonia

Under the new welfare reform,jobs have become the
nation's social safety net for the poor. However, many
welfare recipients lack the skills and competencies to
search and secure a job, and current welfare programs
provide little training and counseling to fill this gap. As
the more able find jobs, states that have implemented
welfare-to-work programs, such as Michigan and
Wisconsin, are faced with what to do with those who do
not qualifY for meaningful work. This session will
address the following issues. What are the job prospects
for unskilled workers? What types of programs work
and don't work to train and provide job search assistance
to the economically disadvantaged population? Are
resources available to provide these services? How might
foundations and community groups participate in the
private-public partnership to assist welfare recipients in
becoming economically more self sufficient?

�For the Benifit ofAll

A first-of-its-kind look at
the philanthropic traditions
of the Great Lakes State
and its people!

Sidebar stories illuminate the
chapters. Included are:
Father Gabriel Richard
Walter Harper &amp; Nancy

The giving of personal time and
finan cial resources to help others is a
long-standing tradition throughout
th e United States. Nowhere has that
tradition been more strongly displayed over the decades than in the
AHisttll'jO!
PhUantllropylnMitfliyan
state of Michigan.
A new book, For the Bemifit cif
All, explores the roots and evolution
of Michigan philanthropy. Through
words and pictures, this informa tive
publication examines the charitable
traditi ons that began in Michigan
long before statehood was granted in
1H37 - in fact, long before Europeans
arrived on our shores. T hrough th e Michigan experience, For the
Ben~fit ,ifAll illustrates how philanthropy in America thrives today at
all levels of our society.
More than 150 pages in length, th e book's attractive layout features historic photographs gleaned from museums and archive collections throughout the state. The straightforwa rd, sprightly writing
style easily engages the reader, yet scholars and historians will find the
content important to their research. "Sidebar" stories illuminate the
lives of the many colorful characters who created a caring society in
the Great Lakes State.

�Message. to
Me.mbe.rs
In 1973, a small group of visionary leaders formed the Council of
Michigan Foundations to grow Michigan's philanthropy and to create a
climate favorable for grantmakers to do their goQd work. Twenty-five years
later and with extreme pride, we share our 1997-98 annual report. While the
report reflects our years of service to Michigan grantmakers, it also highlights our steadfast members, partners and volunteers who work with us to
increase, enhance and improve philanthropy in Michigan.
Mariam C. Noland
Chair

Dorothy A. Johnson
President &amp; CEO

On the inside cover pages of this annual report is a listing of 418
grantmakers who support CMF's work. These grantmakers, united in their
desire to work together for Michigan's future, have made CMF what it is
today: a strong, vital organization, recognized and respected by an ever
increasing number of diverse donors, nonprofits, legislators and citizens.
Without our members, our good work could not have been accomplished.
To them, we give our heartfelt thanks.
As CMF symbolically blows out the candles on the past 25 years, we
simultaneously light the stage for many more years of creatively finding
effective solutions to important social problems. Like many grantmakers and
nonprofit leaders, CMF has found that one of the most effective ways to
speed the process of change is to identify examples of good practice and to
encourage study and attention to them. While we use this philosophy in
structuring all educational events, publications, and programs, our 25th
anniversary celebration gave us cause to release a new publication, Making a
Difference, developed specifically for this purpose. Distributed complimentarily to all who are interested in Michigan's future, the publication provides
representative examples of how CMF members are changing their communities for the better.
There's no doubt that the future will be challenging. From challenges,
however, come opportunities. We hope that as you face new grantmaking
challenges, you will share your needs, concerns, and programs that work so
other grantmakers can benefit .from your experience. Together, we can
continue making a difference in Michigan.

�A number of our
partners joined us
for the 25th
Annual
Conference
celebration.

Under the K-12 Education in
Philanthropy Project, classroom
teachers are developing academic
content about philanthropy and
volunteerism to increase students'
awareness of the tradition of
private citizens working for the
common good. The new lessons,
units, modules, and materials will
be linked to the Content Standards
for social studies and language arts,
and will be used in school systems
throughout Michigan.

According to the Michigan Public
Opinion Survey results released in
·April of 1997, there is a general
public misperception of the
amount of services provided by
nonprofits. The Michigan Public
Policy Initiative (MPPI) addresses
this misperception with facts, and
assists policymakers to better
understand the impact of 'new
federalism' in Michigan on the
nonprofit sector. MPPI will host a
series of informational forums and
seminars for members of the
private, public and nonprofit
sectors during 1998 and 1999 with
a focus on the impact of term
limits. MPPI is a joint venture of
the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Council of Michigan
Foundations, and is supported by
the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

CMF is serving as facilitator for the
Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative, developed to expand the
environmental grantmaking by
shoreline community foundations
from Duluth, MN to Rochester,
New York. Initiated by grants from
the Great Lakes Protection Fund of
Chicago and the Charles Stewart
Mott Foundation, the Collaborative
has already helped to generate more
than $2 million in local endowment
support for environmental needs.
Twenty-one participating community foundations are receiving
technical assistance in fund development, up to $5,000 for technology, speaker fees, and other capacity building needs, and up to
$15,000 to start or strengthen
permanent endowment funds .

What are other funders doing in our same area of interest?

We want to put some personnel policies into effect-do you
have samples?
We need boilerplate position descriptions for staff, trustees

What software can we use to create and edit our website, and
who is a provider that will host it for us?

Organiz.ations

For the 1997-1998 granting year, the Fund awarded
more than $1 .03 million in grants and Americorps
volunteer services to 35 AIDS service organizations
around the state. Since its founding, the Fund has
awarded more than $5':5 million to Michigan's AIDS
service organizations,

The
MiGhigan

AID'5 fUND
Since its inception in 1989, the
Michigan AIDS Fund's purpose
has been to serve people with
AIDS and their caretakers by
serving the grantmakers who
want to support AIDS causes.
The Fund earned special distinction during 1997 by becoming
the top grantmaking Community
Partner of the National AIDS
Fund.
More Michigan AIDS Fund
information can be found at Web
site: www/msu.michaidsfund. org/

But the Fund is adding even more value to its grantees
over the next three years through a $175,000 technical
assistance grant from the Skillman Foundation. As
AIDS has become a chronic disease rather than a
certain death sentence, AIDS service organizations
must change their strategies and even their services
to address long-term (rather than the short-term
palliative needs) of people with AIDS, The Skillman
grant allows the Fund to provide strategic planning
consultation for capacity building in this very issue to
nine agencies in southeast Michigan.
Other major Fund projects in 1997-98 have provided
benefits both to grantees and to funders:
•The W ,K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles
Stewart Mott Foundation provided major support for
a series of four symposia on HIVI AIDS service
delivery to help foundations, legislators, managed care
organizations and others decide how best to use funds.
National and local experts on issues surrounding this
long-term epidemic gathered to pinpoint critical issues
and offer consensus recommendations. An abstract
based on the symposia will be published and presented
at the 1998 World Conference on AIDS in Geneva,
Switzerland,
•The Michigan Conference on AIDS was held May 28
· and 29 in Ypsilanti. Keynote speakers and workshops
offered intensive discussions on such issues as agency
collaboration, the role of the faith community in HIVI
AIDS service, and the special needs of women with
AIDS,

Year Ended March 31, 1998

The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and its
supporting organizations-the Michigan Community
Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF)-continue to experience
strong growth in the areas of member support and
funding received for special projects and program
services. Over the past year, MCFYP has received a
grant to complete the final round of community
foundation challenge grants which has accounted for
the increase in net assets from the prior year. Please
note that $27,266,746 of the net asset portion of the
Combined Balance Sheet is designated to be paid out
as grants or to fund special projects that are currently
underway.
Serving the needs of our members has been a top
priority of CMF since its incorporation in
1975. In the past five years, membership has increased from 293 to 418. During this same time
period, CMF has experienced a significant increase in
funding for special projects which are aimed at
addressing our members' philanthropic issues around
the state of Michigan. Special projects that are
currently underway include the following:
W.K. Kellogg Foundation K-12 Education in
Philanthropy Project
C.S. Mott Foundation Violence Project
Great Lakes Community Foundation Collaborative
Michigan CARES
CMF Detroit Office

In addition to the three endowment funds described on
page 20, The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project Board Designated Fund was established by the
Board of Trustees of MCFYP who have designated that all
investment earnings from this project be placed in a board
designated fund for future community foundation programming needs.
Coopers &amp; Lybrand LLP has issued an unqualified opinion on the combined Financial Statements of CMF and its
supporting organizations for the years ended March 31,
1998. Ernst &amp; Young LLP issued an unqualified opinion
on the financial statements for the year ended March 31,
1997. The Combined Statements of Activity and Changes
in Net Assets presented in the Annual Report have been
derived from the audited financial statements, which have
been modified to reflect the detailed expenses of the Allen
&amp; Mawby funds and MCFYP for the year ending March
31, 199 8. A copy of the audited financial statements is
available for public inspection at the Council of Michigan
Foundations' office in Grand Haven, and as always, we
would be pleased to answer any questions you may have
regarding the enclosed financial statements.

~~
Treasurer

Thanks to the generous support of our members, four
endowment funds have been established as permanent
funding sources to help meet our mission of improving and increasing philanthropy around the state of
Michigan. CMF is extremely proud to report that the
four endowment funds have grown to a current market
value of$5,780,704.

�Grants That Make a Difference
Please give a brief description of a 1996 grant from your community foundation that, in
your opinion, has had the most impact on your community.

Albion Civic Foundation
A grant to the City of Albion to help bring a group of Russian performers to the Festival
of the Forks. The number of people the event reached was enormous. The larger value
was that the performers stayed with local families and interacted with the community
during the weekend that they were here.

There can be no doubt that the continuation of construction and amenities for the Pere
Marquette Rail-Trail of Mid Michigan has impacted the largest number of people, has
created the most significant economic impact, and will continue to enhance the quality of
life in Midland County for many years to come. This multiyear project has created a
wonderful linear park which stretches 22 miles from Midland through Coleman, and which
is in continuous use. It provides family entertainment and exercise opportunities
on a daily basis; it has been the site of fund raising activities for may nonprofit
organizations; and it has brought many tourists into the area. It has generated revenue for
local businesses adjacent to the trail and for those who sell and service bicycles, inline
skates, and related equipment.

Leadership Role of Community Foundations
Community Foundations often impact their communities in ways that may or may not
involve specific grants. Please briefly describe the leadership role played by your
community foundation in the past year of which you are most proud.

Albion Civic Foundation
Possibly the most significant thing we have done is to intentionally study our role in the
community. We have just reformed our Mission Statement to address a more defined
role. This year we have been a silent partner to the Albion Volunteer Service
Organization which was facing serious problems. We have assisted them in many ways
and are happy to report that they are now in a position to hire an executive director. This
is due to the effort of many people who have had a commitment to the value of the
organization in the community.

Allegan County Foundation
Wellness Center Challenge Grant to encourage local giving. We challenged the city of
Allegan to raise $100,000 toward a sports complex. We matched it with a gift of
$50,000.

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
There are 2 equally important examples. One is the position that all youth are at-risk and
that focus should be on at-risk times. The Foundation and YAC have had public meetings
on the issue of positive activities in the at-risk hours. It may be that the start of a "Teen
Center Without Walls" is being created. Also, serving as a neutral party/spotting or
anticipating problems and acting to prevent them. The Foundation has provided start-up
support of a large collaborative pilot initiative focusing on the development of
transportation solutions for residents of this community.

Baraga County Community Foundation
Youth leadership program funded by the Michigan extension project. Sponsored
leadership training on the differences of each person, personality styles, working together
in groups.

Barry Community Foundation
Being the lead funder for the Needs Assessment is truly the avenue that will direct the
future of our county government, nonprofits and this foundation. We have also shown
that we believe in this process by placing two board members on this committee.

35

�Leadership Role in Community Foundation
(con 't.)
Bay Area Community Foundation
The Foundation recruited a steering committee of volunteers in the community to
coordinate the construction of the Imagination Station, as 12,000 square foot playscape
for children. Subcommittees for donated materials, purchased materials, child care,
volunteer recruitment, food and a children's committee were formed, involving over 3,000
volunteers who participated in the five-day construction process.

Cadillac Area Community Foundation
Our support of the city's Canal Project helped make this become a reality. It was a big
project involving many sectors, and we played a role in making it happen.

Capital Region Community Foundation
In 1995, the Foundation became one often funders underwriting the cost of a community
facilitator. In 1996 it assumed responsibility as employer ofthis individual. The $300,000
three-year pilot project is funded by the profit and nonprofit sector. Its goal is to find
solutions to community problems as identified by the United Way's Shared Vision
Process. The facilitator is charged with initiating collaboration to find new ways of
solving old problems through outside sources of funding. The position was filled in June
1997.

Charlevoix County Community Foundation
During Charlevoix's Venetian Festival, a fireworks shell exploded sending shrapnel into a
crowd of several thousand. The residents of the town wanted to assist the victims - one
was killed and several injured - so they requested a special fund be established with the
Foundation. So far over $250,000 has been collected in a massive volunteer effort and the
process of distribution of funds has begun.

The Fremont Area Foundation
The Foundation convened community leaders to develop a county-wide leadership
program. The Leadership in Newaygo County (LINC) program is designed to continually
develop the leaders of tomorrow to maintain and improve the quality of life in the
community. The Foundation developed program has three components: an annual
Leadership Day consisting of training institutes, panel discussions and professional
presentations; a comprehensive leadership series consisting of monthly day-long sessions
focusing on skill development, critical needs awareness and issues education; and a miniseminar series providing three or four one-half day presentations of dynamic professional
development programs.

Grand Haven Area Community Foundation
We are involved in an organization called NOACC-North Ottawa Area Community
Coalition. Agencies, schools, government, industry, and grantmakers convene once a
month to work collaboratively to maintain a healthy environment for children and families.

Coalition. Agencies, schools, government, industry, and grantmakers convene once a

The Grand Rapids Foundation
Until one year ago, families at risk of child abuse or neglect could not receive community
support services unless actual abuse was documented. Since implementing the
"Perspective 21 !"program, families deemed to be at-risk are now offered free, voluntary
community support services. It is our hope that by strengthening families, abuse and
neglect can be prevented. This effort began in response to a task force convened by the
Foundation in 1992 to tackle the tough issues surrounding child abuse and neglect, and to
make recommendations to the community. The Foundation has continued to work with
community leaders to impact changes across systems, and to ensure community
implementation of the task force's recommendations.
Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation
Our Foundation continued to play a leadership role in the area of land use and growth
management. As an integral part of the New Designs for Growth Program, the
Foundation helped facilitate discussions on growth, the environment, planning and
transportation. The Foundation played a key role in facilitating an open discussion on
roads, replacement of a bridge in a sensitive environmental area and a proposed bypass
that could have potentially resulted in litigation.
Gratiot County Community Foundation
Involvement in community planning for the future. Members of our Board have been
highly involved in the Gratiot County Strategic Plan. The present chair of the
Strategic Plan Committee is a foundation trustee, as is the immediate past chair. Many of
the Foundation committee members and several trustees are part of the large Strategic
Plan Committee.
Hillsdale County Community Foundation
During the year we have brought the major nonprofit organizations together and made
initial plans for a combination of a nonprofit office and volunteer center. The Foundation
plans to conduct the major fund raising for this $1 million+ project. We intend that this
effort will: 1) lower administrative costs of all nonprofits; 2) provide an opportunity to
share equipment and common meeting and storage areas; 3) make nonprofit services more
readily available to the public and; 4) engender needed program cooperation between the
agenctes.

�Leadership Role of Community Foundation
(con 't.)
The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area
The Foundation is taking on a greater and greater leadership role in our greater
community. Our grant to Heritage Home helped bring two agencies together in a merger.
We also met with them to help make their merger happen. Another grant became a key
for a project that involved private citizens, a city, a township and the Foundation.

Kalamazoo Foundation
In March 1996 the Kalamazoo Foundation convened a meeting of all organizations in the
community which were interested in micro-loans or small business loans. The Foundation
engaged the services of the W.E. Upjohn Institute to help facilitate future meetings. There
has been a collaborative effort to share information about small business assistance. In
addition, all the varying and potentially competing interests in administering small business
loans have now agreed that these efforts will be coordinated through Healthy Futures.
The Foundation has stayed involved in this process throughout these many months
working very carefully to help move it in a proper direction. These efforts have now
reached fruition and a micro-loan effort in our community should be forthcoming under
the label of Entrepreneurial Financial Assistance Program in the near future.

M &amp; M Area Community Foundation
Although our Foundation has not made any grants, we feel we are developing new
leadership in our communities through the work of directors and committee member in
raising funds and doing the other myriad of tasks required to promote public awareness
of the Foundation to help us reach our final phase goal of the Kellogg Challenge.

Marshall Community Foundation
We are working with the other four Calhoun County community foundations to
collaborate on Y AC programming in a Violence Prevention Seminar. A Y AC Advisor
and Executive Director are county coordinators to gather and organize information
around service and volunteerism in the county.

Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
With the extension of our services beyond the limits of the Buchanan area, we have
become an active reagent for change in our extended geographic area. As the Michigan
Gateway Community Foundation, we have over 60 community leaders working together
to discuss area-wide concerns ... our similarities as well as our differences .. .to forge a new
alliance for meeting community needs.

Leadership Role of Community Foundation
(can't.)
Midland Foundation
We view the development of youth as community leaders as one of our most significant
roles. In the past year, we were most proud of some significant accomplishments of our
youth: increased levels of community volunteerism, independent budget development,
creating a youth needs assessment survey, collection and analysis of the data and
development of proactive grantmaking based on the results. Through the course of the
year, we recognized a change of focus in our approach to the YAC. Instead ofteaching
our youth to be future community leaders, we are now enabling them to be the effective
leaders they already are.
Community Foundation of Monroe County
Administration of an agency fund to build a monument to the men of Monroe County who
died in World War I and II.
Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation
The Foundation created a Development Council in the County. Development officers
from all nonprofit agencies are invited to get together on a quarterly basis. The purpose is
to get to know each other, help each other, learn f!:om each other, and improve our
respective efforts.
Community Foundation for Muskegon County
The Muskegon Area Children's Agenda, an initiative of the Foundation, exists to improve
the conditions for our children by mobilizing powerful new voices in the community to
work on their behalf. Created in 1995, the Agenda stands for the principle that children
are our most valuable and vulnerable resource.
Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
The Foundation hosts a Community Leaders Luncheon monthly during the academic year.
More than 100 community leaders are invited to attend the luncheons which include
presentations on items of interest to the community. They have helped to bring the
Foundation to the forefront of community leadership as a convenor for community
discussions as well as a catalyst for needed change.
Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
Our community foundation holds quarterly meeting for Emmet County nonprofit directors
in order to exchange information, to network and to share resources and ideas. From this
has grown the ability to act as one unit when needed and to support one another in the
work of building a healthy community.

39

�Leadership Role of Community Foundation
(con't.)

Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation
In late 1996, the Foundation became involved with two major brick sale projects in the
community. The Foundation is a major partner in these coalitions, allowing donors and
community organizations to contribute to these community projects.

Saginaw Community Foundation
The Foundation convened service providers, educators, law enforcement personnel,
government officials and other concerned citizens to conduct the Week Without Violence.
This community-wide initiative helped to increase awareness ofviolence while identifying
alternatives to violence in our homes, schools and neighborhoods (see Grants That Make a
Difference).

Community Foundation of St. Clair County
Through a newly created Speakers Bureau, the Foundation goes out into the community
and speaks to various groups and organizations about the Foundation and what it means
to the area it serves.

Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan
The Foundation has started a new program to educate the African-American community
on planned giving.

Sturgis Foundation
The establishment of our Y AC and the wonderful publicity surrounding the Y AC and
Kellogg Challenge brought the Sturgis Foundation into focus for our community. In
1995, the Foundation acted as the fiscal agent and held pass-through and endowment
funds for our new community center.

�A COMMUNITY FOUNDATION YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE
BEST PRACTICES
(Adopted by Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Trustees June 1997)
The following Best Practices are recommended as criteria for operating a Youth Advisory Committee (YAC).
It is helpful to review these annually as part of a self-audit process. The role of the Y AC is to recommend
grants from a permanent Youth Fund after assessing local youth needs, be involved in fund development, and
support systems for involving youth in philanthropy.

1. The YAC is adopted by the Board as one of the permanent standing committees ofthe community
foundation.
2. The YAC meets a minimum of six times a year.
3. YAC membership of at least 7 youth is representative of the youth community.
4. A trained adult advisor works with the YAC.
5. There is an annual orientation process for new YAC members.
6. As the basis for grantmaking, the YAC collects information, at least every three years, about the assets
and needs related to youth in its community.
7. YAC members are provided opportunities to be involved in fund development. Helping to ensure the
continued growth of the youth fund, emphasis should be placed on donor calls and community presentations,
based on local youth issues and concerns, rather than "fn!ld raising" activities.
8. The YAC completes an annual proactive grantmaking process, that involves and builds the capacity of
youth as resources and decision makers in their communities, and results in the recommendation of
grants to the community foundation Board.
9. YAC members should participate in available leadership training opportunities.
10. A process to evaluate its activities, including the effectiveness of grants.
11. YAC members have an opportunity to meet annually with members of the Board of Trustees of the
community foundation. When appropriate, YAC members may attend board meetings, participate in an
annual meeting, or join in special events that provide opportunities for sharing with the Board.
12. Grantmaking by the YAC is featured in annual reports, newsletters, public presentations, and other
communications tools. This communicates to the wider public the importance of the Y AC and youth
involvement as community problem-solvers.
13. The community foundation may support a project funded by the YAC with income from a different
endowment fund The community foundation board may jointly fund a project with theYAC.
14. The YAC may review youth-related proposals that are submitted to the community foundation atlarge. As experienced grantmakers, YAC members can provide valuable insights into the value of projects
serving youth.

�PROACTIVE AND CREATIVE GRANTS MADE BY
YOUTH ADVISORY CnMMITTEES

Albion Civic Foundation
The combined mini-grants given to our elementary schools made the greatest impact. We have
not only impacted our Y AC by helping them to be aware of their role as philanthropists, but we
have become known to young children who probably would never have heard of the Foundation.
This knowledge extends to their families . We also have had an increasing number of contributions
from teachers. This seems to be a win-win situation for all.

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
Ann Arbor Public Schools/Community Education and Recreation -$13,000
As a result of a YAC RFP, this grant was awarded to open public school facilities on Friday
evenings and Saturday afternoons and evenings for all Ann Arbor 9-12 graders. Dances, "Battles
of the Bands", tutoring, recreational activities and computer training are just some of the student
designed and implemented activities that have taken place since this grant was awarded.

Cadillac Area Community Foundation
A $3,000 start-up grant to help form a new soccer program for kids. Soccer popularity has
grown substantially in this area and this new program involved 200-300 boys and girls.

Capital Region Com_munity Foundation
Perhaps the most unusual grant made in 1996 by tfie Youth PAC was a grant made to itself
whereby the members planned and executed a one-day seminar for area youth on Leadership and
Diversity. PAC members had responsibility for conference planning, budgeting, and promotion.
The conference included keynote speakers, lecture sessions, participatory games with an emphasis
on values and perceptions, and ended with a dance. This experience provided the groundwork for
a second youth seminar in the spring of 1997- applying lessons learned from the first seminar.
By evaluating the impact on society of internal and external stereotypes and prejudices, youth
participants expanded their own horizons and broadened personal tolerance through
understanding.

The Fremont Area Foundation
The Y AC successfully promoted the creation or enhancement of youth-to-youth mentoring
programs in all five area school districts. By convening a group of youth from high schools, a
grant proposal was developed to provide experiential leadership training to high school volunteers
who then mentor at-risk elementary students. In addition, the grant provided funding for special
activities for the mentors and students and some administrative funding.

Grand Haven Area Community Foundation
Funding to bring the Aids Quilt to Spring Lake High School.

The Grand Rapids Foundation
A grant to the Dispute Resolution Center, allowing them to train youth between 14-16 to work in
the City Parks over the summer months. The program promoted peaceful resolution of disputes,
while providing summer employment for 70 teens.

�Proactive Youth Grants
(con 't.)

Hillsdale County Community Foundation
A small grant of$500 to the Jonesville National Honor Society Service Project had a far reaching
impact. The grant matched funds raised for registration to a statewide meeting where they were
challenged to do community service. Upon returning, the group adopted the local Domestic
Violence Shelter. Following a community-wide paper products and consumable goods drive, they
delivered a truck load of products to the shelter.

The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area
A grant to Child Development Services of Ottawa County, Inc. for start-up equipment funds
($15,000) for a new northside child care center for low income families.

The Jackson Community Foundation
Aside from small nonprofit grants made to human service organizations that benefit children, the
majority of funding was given in the form of mini-grants for school organizations or classroom
use. Thousands of youngsters were affected by these grants.

Kalamazoo Foundation
The youth sponsored a one-day workshop attend by approximately 100 representatives from
youth-serving agencies throughout the county. Youth were challenged to rethink how they
approach youth development, focusing on assets rather than problems. Young people are now in
the process of identifying resources in their neighborhoods, entering that information in to a
geographic systems database, and preparing to staff phone lines which will enable their peers to
access the information.

Marquette Community Foundation
To Graveraet Middle School with a matching grant from the Marquette Public Schools Education
Foundation. This collaborative grant enabled sixth grade students to produce a video project on
Marquette's architecture and'people. Students participated in all phases of video production,
researched architecture, interviewed community members and produced an award-winning 2video series which is now being used by teachers district-wide for education.

Marshall Community Foundation
TheYAC grant for $5,000 given to the newly created Marshall Ballet Company probably had the
greatest impact. The company produced "The Nutcracker" involving 150 youth as well as
parents, friends and the audience. YACers now say that through their grant they are able to
support a now annual event.

Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
The Youth Advisory Committee brought representatives of every sport and extra-curricular
activity at Buchanan High School together at the beginning of the 1996 school year to participate
in a youth leadership conference to provide leadership skills for student role models. The
conference provided practical information about organizing and running meetings, as well as an
anti-drug message with self-esteem components. This conference energized and focused student
leaders at the beginning ofthe year when the fast-track for effective interaction would make the
most difference for successfully meeting the goals of athletic teams, band, SADD, academic clubs,
and student government.

Proactive Youth Grants
(con 't.)
Midland Foundation
The grant for Sharing Tree Project ($1,000) of the Voluntary Action Center had impact that went
far beyond that which was anticipated. The grant paid for Christmas gifts for children from lowincome families. The impact on the children receiving the gifts was great. Additional impact was
on the YAC members as holiday giving took on a whole new meaning and the work
"philanthropy" came to life.

Community Foundation of Monroe County
A $5,000 grant to the 4H for a new roof for their activity center. This center serves over 2,000
young people in the county.

Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation
The YAC gave $2,000 to fund a Youth Forum. Students from all area schools were brought
together for breakout sessions on such things as abuse by parents/adults, substance abuse and
diversity. This was very successful and resulted in developing community service projects for
follow-up work. It also helped empower the young people of the County to tackle everyday
problems.

Community Foundation for Muskegon County
Muskegon Museum of Art (MMA) $15,000 to sponsor the exhibit, Action Adventures, the
Comic Book Art of Scott Rosema. Mr. Rosema ·is-a ~uskegon native and nationally know comic
book artist. The exhibit demonstrated the process of comic book illustration from simple idea
sketches to the actual finished design. The Art Museum hoped that the exhibit would bring a new
audience to the Museum and was thrilled with the record-breaking crowds and the many first time
visitors to this youth sponsored show.

Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
Two Y AC grants totalling $4,000 were to the Alpena Volunteer Center during 1996 for the
Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC). Approximately 130 young people from the ages 13-19
participate in YVC every year. YVC members learn the importance of service and volunteerism
through active service to their community. This program impacts not only the YVC members, but
also all of the recipients of the services performed.

Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
Holy Childhood, Northern Michigan's largest daycare program was losing its entire staff as the
School Sisters ofNotre Dame were leaving the area. The YAC provided a grant of$5,000 to
help cover operating expenses and help keep the program running for over 100 children and their
families.

Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation
Rochester High School's PRIDE program allowed 22 students to be trained to do anti-drug use
programs in the elementary schools.

�Proactive Youth Grants
(con 't.)

Saginaw Community Foundation
White Pine Middle School's Help Change Hunger program received a $2,000 grant to help
provide meals for up to 50 homeless and low income people of Saginaw for two school years.
The group, made up of approximately 25 middle school students, plans the menu for the weekly
breakfast and lunch, purchases the needed items, prepares the food, serves the meals and does all
fund-raisers for the program.

Sanilac County Community Foundation
Our YAC coordinated and implemented bringing Laurie Stewart, a nationally known teen
motivator, to the county for the largest assembly ever presented to all seven school districts under
one roof

Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan
The Western International High School. The program provided insight into career opportunities
for urban students of several nationalities. The school credits the grant for encouraging students
to go to college and seek professional careers. They had the largest number of students enroll in
college in the past 25 years.

Sturgis Foundation
The middle school principal requested funding to take a group of at-risk students, who were
studying etiquette in class, out to a nice restaurant for a Thanksgiving dinner. The principal felt
that the self-esteem boost for the students was great.
