Honorary Chair

Peter M. Wege
Peter M. Wege is more than a man
whose name in the philanthropic
world is widely known and deeply
respected for his work as the chairman of the Wege Foundation in
Grand Rapids. He is more than a
distinguished businessman and
industrialist, the vice chairman of
the board for the world's largest
office furniture manufacturing company, Steelcase, Incorporated. He
is more than a native of Michiga n
and the revered father of seven children and grandfather of fourteen.
He is, as Aquinas College president,
R Paul Nelson said when conferring on W ege the Emeritus College
Award, "an ecologist, environmentalist, futurist, and supporter of
causes for human betterment." Peter
M. Wege is the Honorary Chairman
of the Council of Michigan
Foundations' 26th Annual
Conference.
His educational background,
WWII military duty, and long
career at Steelcase prepared him
well for the quest he would willingly
embark on: a search for, in his
words, "clean air, clean water, and
the proper disposal of liquid and
solid wastes," solutions to "the enviromnental problems threatening our
planet."
An alumnus of the University of
Michigan's School of Architecture,
Wege came to the manufacturing
company his father had founded
well-prepared to deal with the
demands of a highly competitive
business. He worked his way up
through various positions, and by
1955 reached the key post of
Director of Design and Research.
In 1969 he was appointed
Corporate Secretary to the Board of

Directors and was named Vice
Chairman of the Board in 1985.
But it was much earlier that the
drive surfaced to do something
definitive about the world's environmental issues. While on active duty
(1942-1946) as a young flight pilot
in the Army Air Force, he encountered a situation which colored the
rest of his life. His first mission was
to fly an AT-6 trainer plane from
Fort Worth, Texas, to an airstrip at
West Point Academy in Pennsylvania.
On reaching his destination, he
could not land because the heavy
clouds of industrial smoke had
"socked in" the entire area. He circled Pittsburg's tallest building until
radio guidance and runway lights
(in daytime!) were able' to bring
him in safely. It was an abrupt
introduction to the circumstances
and consequences of environmental
pollution. Wege said, "Since that
afternoon, I have never stopped
fighting to save our Earth."
Pete Wege is the founder and an
active trustee of the Center for
Environmental Studies based in
Grand Rapids. The Center's main
purposes include educating the public about global life support systems
and assisting with public service
4

and research. Wege said two primary goals are "achieving both
healthy workplaces and an economically feasible environment. " Indeed,
the Center has worked collaboratively with several governmental
agencies and also has been a major
donor to Costa Rica's Natural Parks
and Conservation programs.
Only a lengthy list could chronicle Wege's current and previous
accomplishments. Entries would
include: past trustee of the Council
of Michigan Foundations; president
of St. Mary's Hospital Board of
Trustees; co-chairman of the
VandenBerg Center Calder Project;
chairman emeritus of U of M's
National Pollution and Prevention
Center; chairman and trustee of the
Aquinas College Board of Trustees,
and state president of the American
Cancer Society Board. He is the
recipient of numerous awards in
philanthropy. He also is the author
of the recently published book,
Economicofogy, the title of which
clearly conveys the topic.
When Wege was named to
receive the distinguished philanthropy award from the West
Michigan chapter of the National
Society of Fund Raising Executives,
a spokesman aptly described Pete.
He said, "It is the breadth of his
philanthropy that is so unusualnot just that he's given millions to
his own foundation, but millions to
so many other causes." The speaker
could well have added, "and a lifetime of service to human causes."
The Council of Michigan
Foundations is proud to recognize
Peter M. Wege as its Honorary
Chairman for the 1998 Annual
Conference.

begin promptly at 8:15a.m.)
Spirituality and Philanthropy
R -Capitol II
The spiritual search for m eaning is
often a significant motivating force
for those who give. This session will
explore the growing interest
throughout our culture in integrating
spiritual values in all aspects of our
lives. We will examine how such
values can inform grantmaking and
how spiritual development can help
cultivate new, more creative ways of
relating to our work. These simple
principles as seeds for contemplation:
philanthropy as a loving relationship;
assessing deep spiritual strengths
that undergird material needs; building partnerships that liberate our
natural generosity; how simplicity
and intimacy may transcend power
and influence; and how giving and
receiving can become one.
Economic Forecast &amp; The Impact
on Financial Markets
R-Capitol I
Join noted economists for a spirited
discussion of the likely course of the
U .S. economy and financial markets
in the months ahead. How should
your foundation portfolio be positioned right now, and for the longer
term? This session is a must for anyone involved in setting policy parameters, portfolio allocation, responsible for investment performance, or

simply interested in the opinions of
highly skilled money managers.
Growing Pains
R -Michigan II &amp; III
Endowments of private foundations
have been growing at a record-breaking pace. This increase has prompted
foundation staff and trustees to
review and reassess their priorities in
order to decide what to do with burgeoning assets. Has your endowment grown quickly? Or is your
foundation bracing for imminent
asset growth? This session will
explore the common problems associated with foundation growth whether
it is from small to medium-sized,
medium-sized to large or large to
major. Learn what steps you should
be taking from an expert who has
managed a foundation from its inception to its current position as one of
the top 5 nationally in terms of assets.
Technology:
Competing For Our Future
R-Capitol IV
The state of Michigan is at risk. A
technological revolution is sweeping
our state at an astounding rate and
with far-reaching implications for all
aspects of societal life. · There is no
business or industry, no segment of
government, and no service institution that is not affected - with some
struggling to find their bearings and
maintain balance - in this time of
great change.
The Michigan Information
Technology Commission has been at
work on this challenge for over a
year. Speakers will present a snapshot of where we are and a vision
for Michigan's future.

November 4- 6, 1

�Welcome
Wdfiam C. Richarddon

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our state's capital and the
26th Annual Conference of the Council of Michigan Foundations.
Our theme, "Michigan Philanthropy Joining Force.J for a New Century," will
challenge us as grantmakers to see what role we can play in dealing with
societal issues. Your Program Committee has developed more than 75 sessions
examining in-depth issues on land use, economic and rural development,
healthcare, devolution, technology, racism, welfare reform, K-12 education,
and spirituality. In addition, they have planned numerous management-related
topics including investments, professional development, grantmaking basics,
and more.
We are delighted and honored to have Archbishop Desmond Tutu, The
Honorable Donna Shalala, and Governor John M . Engler, as well as so
many other distinguished individuals with us as speakers.

Patti ReynofJ.1

The Host Committee has planned wonderful site visits including the Library
of Michigan, Michigan Historical Museum, Impressions 5 Science Center,
Wharton Center for the Performing Arts, Kresge Art Museum, Abrams
Planetarium, Michigan State University Museum, R.E. Olds Transportation
Museum, The Oldsmobile Car Assembly Body &amp; Chassis Plant, a food distribution center, and the housing/community redevelopment project. Please
check your program and take advantage of these tours that will be available
throughout the conference.
In addition, the Host Committee has organized two spectacular events- "A
Taste of Michigan," and a night out at "Pete's Garage" with a performance by
the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra in concert with the famous pianist,
composer, and arranger, Marvin Hamlisch. These are two events you will not
want to miss.

Jamu Savage

Finally, let us express how fortunate and pleased we are to have as our
Honorary Chair, Mr. Peter Wege. Not only is Peter a distinguished businessman and industrialist, but he is a highly respected philanthropist who has
committed his life to service . Peter, we are proud to have you as our
Honorary Chair.
Your Program and Host Committees, along with the Council of Michigan
Foundations' staff, have worked hard in developing this conference and do
hope that you will make every effort to actively participate in what we have
planned so that we will all be better prepared to join forces for a new century!
Enjoy the conference.

�Honorary Chair

Peter M. Wege

Worth, Texas, to an airstrip at West Point
Pennsylvania. On reaching his destination
not land because the heavy clouds of indus&lt;l!rial smoke
had "socked in" the entire area. He circled ~ttsburg's
tallest building until radio guidance and runw ay lights
(in daytime!) were able to bring him in safely. It was
an unexpected introduction to the circumstances and
consequences of environmental pollution. Wege said,
"Since that afternoon, I have never stopped fighting to
save our Earth."
Only a lengthy list could chronicle Wege 's current
and previous accomplishments. Pete is the founder and
an active trustee of the Center for Environmental
Studies based in Grand Rapids, past trustee of the
Council of Michigan Foundations; president of St.
Mary's Hospital Board of Trustees; co-chairman of the
VandenBerg Center Calder Project; chairman er,neritus
of U of M's National Pollution and Prevention Center;
chairman and trustee of the Aquinas College Boa11d of
Trustees, and state president of the American G)ancer
Society Board. He is the recipient of numerous awards
in philanthropy. He also is the author of the recently
pu-blished book, Economico/ogy, the title of which clearly
conveys the topic.
When Wege was named to receive the distinguished philanthropy award from the West Michigan
chapter of the National Society of Fund Raising
Executives, a spokesman aptly described Pete. He
said, "It is the breadth of his philanthropy that is so
unusual -not just that he 's given millions to his own
foundation, but millions to so many other causes." The
speaker could well have added, "and a lifetime of service to human causes."
The Council of Michigan Foundations is t oud to
recognize Peter M. Wege as its Honorary Ch!airrnan for
the 1998 Annual Conference.

P

eter M. Wege is more than a man whose name in
the philanthropic world is widely known and
deeply respected for his work as the chairman of
the Wege Foundation in Grand Rapids. He is more than
a distinguished businessman and industrialist, the vicechairman of the board for the world's largest office furniture manufacturing company, Steelcase, Incorporated.
He is more than a native of Michigan and the revered
father of seven children and grandfather of fourteen. He
is, as Aquinas College president, R. Paul Nelson said
when conferring on Wege the Emeritus College Award,
"an ecologist, environmentalist, futurist, and supporter of
causes for human betterment." Peter M. Wege is the
Honorary Chairman of the Council of Michigan
Foundations' 26th Annual Conference.
His educational background, WWII military duty,
and long career at Steelcase prepared him well for the
quest on which he would willingly embark: a search
for, in his words, "clean air, clean water, and the proper
disposal of liquid and solid wastes, " solutions to "the
environmental problems threatening our planet."
An alumnus of the University of Michigan's School
of Architecture, Wege came to the manufacturing company his father had founded well prepared to deal with
the demands of a highly competitive business. He
worked his way up through various positions, and by
1955 reached the key post of Director of Design and
Research. In 1969 he was appointed Corporate
Secretary to the Board of Directors and was named
Vice Chairman of the Board in 1985.
But it was much earlier that the drive surfaced to
do SO]Uething definitive about the world's environmental issues. While on active duty (1942-1946) as a
young flight pilot in the Army Air Force, he encountered a situation that colored the rest of his life. His
first mission was to fly an AT-6 trainer plane from Fort

Endowments of private foundations have
been growing at a record-breaking pace.
This increase has prompted foundation staff
and trustees to review and reassess their priorities in order to decide what to do with burgeoning assets. Has your endowment grown

imminent asset growth? This session will
explore the common problems associated
with foundation growth whether it is from

or large to major. Learn what steps you
should be taking from an expert who has
managed a foundation from its inception to
its current position as one of the top five

Welfare Reform:
How Do Michigan's Children Fare?
LC - Governors Room, 2nd Floor

Explore the cross-cultural advantages of applying traditional Native American values of family, protecting the environment, sharing responsibilities, and developing leadership into grantmaking. This traditional wisdom can be
applied in developing sustainable resolutions to
the root causes of social problems. Discover
new evaluation techniques that allow for the
combination of traditional, western measurements of fmite numbers and other evaluative
features with the more holistic, difficult to measure indicators associated with economic development and growth of a community.

The major overhaul of the welfare system is
having a significant effect on the lives of lowincome families in Michigan. This session will
provide an overview of the changes in
Michigan's welfare system and the efforts by
nonprofit organizations and foundations to
monitor the effect of these changes on the welfare of children and families. Is there a safety
net for the children in your community?

'' Dottle
.
exemplifies
the
philanthropic
giver.''

In January, Dottie Johnson shared with the Board that she will
be leaving her position as CMF president aUhe beginning of2000. In
_ pottie's own words, she is "graduatin_g to a level where there will be
· more time to undertake new volunteer and corporate opportunities."
During her tenure of25 years of service, Dottie has helped
with the creation ofhundreds of foundations and has impacted the
Michigan philanthropic sector in numerous ways, including
•the passage ofthe Michigan Community Foundation Tax
Credit
•the Michigan Community Foundations'Youth Project,
bringing the services of community foundations to all residents
•the Michigan K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project
•the Tobacco Settlement Project
•the creation of the Michigan AIDS Fund, and
•the establishment ofthe Michigan Nonprofit Association.
Dottie exemplifies the philanthropic giver. She gives time and
energy far beyond the call of duty in promoting the value of philanthropy throughout the state and nation. She has tirelessly contributed
an immeasurable amount ofhours, traveling to various urban and rural
locations to offer information and resources to grantmakers, legislators, the medi£~, and the public. Currently, the boards of 15 nonprofit
organizations- including the Michigan Community Service Commission and Corporation for National Service-are the beneficiaries of
Dottie's unique collaborative ability.
Dottie will continue her strong giving legacy to CMF by
volunteering. She will also be involved as a member through the
Donor Advised Fund she and her husband, Mart, have established at
the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation. Dottie leaves CMF
with growing membership, many special collaboratives, and great
opportunities to increase philanthropy further in our state.
The Board ofTrustees is unanimous in expressing its admiration and gratitude for her many accomplishments on behalf of CMF
and the citizens ofthe state. Dottie's passion and enthusiasm for
philanthropy are an inspiration! We look forward to celebrating her
graduation with members and friends at our 27th Annual Conference
in Grand Rapids.
In July 1999, we were saddened to lose CMF trustee Harold
Holland- who, like Dottie, took the role of collaborator to heart. He
will be missed by all who have come to know him as a reliable and
valuable member ofthe philanthropic community.

Thank you for
the opportunity
It is with gratitude, inspiration, and affection that I write my
last annual report to the CMF membership. Next January, I will
have served you for 25 years. Some people call CMF a servantleader organization. Yes, I am very proud of what we have
accomplished working together to enhance, to improve, and to
increase philanthropy in our state. I am most grateful for the
opportunity to serve you, to work with you and to know you.
Colleagues have asked me what makes CMF, the largest
regional association in the country, special. In four words, "it is the
people."

An eight-year effort to create permanent en-

dowed youth funds at every community foundation in the state and to provide every citizen with
access to a community foundation successfully
concluded this year. Launched by a one-fortwo challenge grant from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation of up to $1 million per community
foundation, highlights ofthe challenge include:
• 56 community foundations and 30 affiliates/
component funds participated.
• Over $86 million was raised locally for community foundations.
• More than $43 million has been paid to create
86 permanent youth funds.
• 56 Youth Advisory Committees have made
2,700 grants totaling over $4.8 million.
• 1998 assets ofMichigan community foundations

Michigan

Project
In the 1998-99 grant year, the Fund provided $1 .2
million in grants to AIDS service organizations
throughout Michigan. The Fund also conducted the
following activities as a means to advance the fight
against AIDS:
•With support from the Skillman Foundation and Jewish
Fund in Detroit, nine AIDS service organizations in
Southeast Michigan are receiving extensive technical
assistance over three years to help build capacity to
respond to the long-term needs of people with AIDS.

• Boosted the success of several AIDS walks
across the state by uniting them under the
umbrella of AIDS Walk Michigan 1998. The
single-day event raised more than $440,000 for AIDS
organizations in ten communities and provided an
opportunity for countless people to hear powerful
prevention messages.
•Collaborated with the HIVIAIDS Alliance ofMichigan
and several ofthe world's premier pharmaceutical
companies to host a "Legislative HIV/AIDS Policy
Briefing" luncheon to brief state lawmakers about the
realities ofHIV/AIDS.

The AIDS ribbon, an icon of hope,
also is a call to action. The Michigan AIDS Fund is
Michigan's only statewide pooled response to AIDS and
pledges to work toward a
''day without AIDS."

•With support from the Charles Stewart Mott and
W.K. Kellogg foundations , the Fund published a
scientific monograph, "HIV/AIDS Prevention and
Service: A Guide for Programs and Funding
in the 21 51 Century," was published as a roadmap
for funders and AIDS service organizations facing the
new realities ofthe epidemic since the advent of combination therapies. Sandra Thurman, director ofthe
Office ofNational AIDS Policy at the White House
helped launch national and international distribution of
the monograph in October 1998.
•Through the Prevention Partnership Initiative
with the Michigan Department of Community Health,
invaluable fmancial and technical assistance has been
provided to prevention efforts across the State of
Michigan.
Established the Michigan AIDS Fund in 1989 "to
support efforts to stop the spread ofHIV/AIDS and to
alleviate the suffering of those infected and affected by
the AIDS epidemic," the Fund has awarded nearly $6
million in grants and other resources to AIDS service
organizations that conduct prevention programs and
pro':ide direct care to Michigan residents living with
HIV/AIDS.

At each grade level, students are translating their
academic knowledge about philanthropy into servicelearning activities that provide a "hands-on" experience
as both "givers" and "doers."
•In the elementary grades, students are learning that
the definition of philanthropy is the sharing oftime,
talent and treasure. They can identify selfishness
versus selflessness, and what behaviors are important to their "community"- the classroom.

Children at Woodward Elementmy (Detroit) participate in a
philanthropy lesson using the book, "The Little Yellow Chicken."

�Treasurer's

Report

The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), an association of
foundations and corporations making grants for charitable
purposes, was incorporated in 1975. Since that time growth has
been dramatic. During the past four years CMF has experienced
growth of 42% in membership and a 57% increase in member
contributions. In 1993, two supporting organizations were
formed to further the mission of CMF; the Michigan Community
Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) and the Michigan AIDS
Fund (MAF).

The Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund to Improve and
Increase Philanthropy was established during fiscal year
1994-95 to honor Dr. Mawby, a former Chairman and CEO of
the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Dr. Mawby is also one of the
founders and first chairman of the Council ofMichigan
Foundations. The purpose of this Fund is to improve and
increase philanthropy by continuing and expanding CMF's
efforts to enhance philanthropy and increase charitable
resources within the State of Michigan.

Since 1988, CMF (and later, MCFYP)- through funds they
received from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation- has offered challenge
grants to community foundations to build permanent youth
endowment funds. During this time, over $46,000,000 has been
granted to community foundations for permanent youth endowment funds . On the Combined Balance Sheet the decrease in
investments from the prior year is the result of the maturity of two
US Treasury Securities that were placed in a money market
account, for future disbursements to community foundations.
Based on current funding, MCFYP will continue to provide
technical assistance to community foundations through March 31 ,
2001. Because of the success of this project and the growth of
community foundations in recent years, the need to provide
technical support to community foundations will continue beyond
the current funding period. The MCFYP Board of Trustees has
established a permanent funding vehicle in the form of a Board
Designated Fund for future technical assistance. As the funding for
MCFYP begins to wind down, the CMF combined statements
have experienced a decrease in Grants and Other Contributions
from the previous year. The final phases of this project have also
resulted in a decrease in the number of grants awarded to community foundations during the past year.

The Ruth and Russ Mawby Fund For Kids was established in
fiscal year 1995-96 with the expressed purpose of improving
and increasing philanthropy through youth involvement in the
State of Michigan.

On the Combined Statements of Activities and Changes in Net
Assets, the Grants and Other Contributions for CMF General
Operations &amp; Special Projects, totaled $1 ,949,415 for 1999. The
major portion of these contributions represent funds for the K-12
Education in Philanthropy, Community Foundation Venture
Products and Great Lakes Collaborative projects.
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. Those four endowment funds have
grown to a current market value of $7,082,83 3.

The William W. Allen Endowment Fund was established to
further the understanding of private philanthropy in federal
and state legislative and regulatory matters while recognizing
William W. Allen, a long-time CMF board member and
supporter.
The Michigan Community Foundations ' Youth Project Board
Designated Fund was established by the MCFYP Board of
Trustees in 1995. They have designated that all investment
earnings from this project be placed in a board designated fund
for future community foundation programming needs. The
current market value of this fund stands at $4,771 ,266 as of
March 31 , 1999.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP has issued an unqualified opinion on
the combined Financial Statements of CMF and its supporting
organizations for the years ended March 31, 1999 &amp; 1998. 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, MCFYP and MAF
for the years ending March 31, 1999 &amp; 1998. A copy of the
audited financial statements is available for public inspection at the
Council of Michigan Foundations' office in Grand Haven, Michigan.

• determining grants and operating expenses,
• allocating money in accordance with donor's intent and community needs,
• approving the legal, investment, and accounting practices of the foundation,
• avoiding conflicts of interest, and
• selection and evaluation of the chief executive officer
3. Bylaws that include policy for size of the board and length of service,
4. An annual review by an outside independent public accountant and an audit every
three years,
5. Continue to successfully pass the Public Support Test,
6. Having an asset management program that includes fund agreements with donors,

7. An ongoing written fund development plan to build permanent endowment funds,

Branch County Community Foundation
The Foundation helped to fund a new community center for use by citizens of the county.
Cadillac Area Community Foundation
Trusting and Entrusting Youth, a day-long leadership conference with 125 people
attending, 75 teens and 50 adults.
Capital Region Community Foundation
Cash and in-kind contributions from individuals, corporations, and the labor community
funded an interactive jumping-jets fountain at the entrance to Oldsmobile Park, the home
ofthe award winning baseball team, the Lansing Lugnuts. Fans from throughout
Michigan and conventioneers from throughout the world are attracted to the aerated water
from the fountain. While the Foundation has funded many noteworthy projects
throughout the year, none has surpassed Lugnut's Fountain in bringing forth such sheer
joy to countless numbers of people within and without our community.
Charlevoix County Community Foundation
Planned Parenthood of Northern Michigan was awarded a grant from the Eugene B.
Renkiewicz Memorial Fund to develop and pilot a male responsibility program aimed at
adolescent age boys. Through the project, Planned Parenthood staff reviewed successful
programs that target males, developed a program that met local needs and values, and
piloted the program in Charlevoix County during 1997. Most efforts to prevent unwanted
pregnancy focus on women and girls. The ultimate goal of Out of the Locker Room is to
develop a program which will reduce teen pregnancy by addressing adolescent males' selfesteem, communication skills, abstinence and contraception, and decision-making.
Four County Foundation
The Foundation granted funds to area libraries, which are a vital community resource.
The Fremont Area Foundation
The most significant grant was to Gerber Memorial Health Services for its family services
expansion, emergency room and laboratory renovation project. The grant was the largest
"bricks and mortar" award ever given to a hospital in the United States by a foundation $1.25 million along with a matching grant up to $2.5 million. In addition, the Foundation
is providing administrative support by tracking gifts and pledges for the duration of the
hospital's fundraising campaign.

The Grand Rapids Foundation
Perspective 21
This grant was awarded to five local agencies that provide
supportive services to families who are at risk for child abuse and neglect, because they
have been reported to protective services, but the case is unsubstantiated. Families are
offered services, including counseling and emergency assistance designed to reduce the
changes of abuse and neglect occurring. To date, more than 150 families have received
services.
Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation
The second annual Quality of Life index. It serves as a community report card on public
perception of 10 different areas that affect the quality of life in this region. The summary
report serves as a tool for organizations, civic groups, agencies and local governments and
grantmakers to help clarify community needs and assets and target their efforts to improve
a specific indicator.
Gratiot County Compmnity Foundation
All sixth grade students in the county were touched by the grant we gave to the
Department ofExercise Health Science of Alma College. A group ofEHS students
presented a Heart Health Fair to all sixth graders by going into the schools with many
activities that taught the students the importance of caring for their hearts starting at a
young age. Not only did this impact many young people, it made the students aware that
as individuals, they have control over the health of their hearts.
Greenville Area Foundation
A grant to Camp Wah-Wah-Tay-See to recondition the main lodge, bring the kitchen up to
Health Department standards and install a new furnace so the camp can be used yearround.
The Comm. Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area
A grant to construct a pedestrian/bike bridge over a river along the Holland/Zeeland
corridor. Partial funding came from the Youth Fund. This project was a collaborative
effort between the Community Foundation, the City of Zeeland, Holland Township and
private donors.
The Jackson Community Foundation
A 2 year, $100,000 grant toward a capital campaign launched by the Jackson Y Center to
renovate and expand its existing facility. We were not confident that they had given
sufficient consideration to strengthening their organization's ability to grow, adapt and
change with the expanded facility. Therefore a contingency of the grant was that theY
Center management team and board members participate in a twelve month organizational
development process with a consulting firm identified by the Foundation

Jackson Community Foundation (continued)
as best suited for the work. Members of Board and staff have made it clear that this
process has been the best thing that ever happened to the Y. This process was jointly
funded with the Weatherwax Foundation, a private foundation in Jackson. As a result of
the positive progress, the Weatherwax Foundation has awarded them additional funding to
continue the organizational development process training. This grant will make a lasting
difference in the community and is a great example of collaboration and cooperation
between community and private foundations.
Kalamazoo Foundation
The Foundation provided a grant of $1.5 million to Downtown Tomorrow, Inc. to assist
the community in creating a downtown area to develop and sustain economic vitality.
Leelanau Township Foundation. Inc.
The Children's Discovery Center grant was a gr~at help to augment their new building
with necessary furnishings and supplies.
Marshall Community Foundation
During out last fiscal year, we distributed $17,255 in scholarships. I believe this
combination of grants made a significant impact on the community educational level.
Many of out high school graduates return to the community as college graduates and
become contributing citizens.
Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
The Foundation provided the final granting dollars to initiate a youth mentoring program
called Postponing Sexual Involvement. The program creates teams of high school
students who model sexual responsibility and who are trained in demonstrating ways to
say no to early sexual activity. The opportunity for frank discussion, positive support for
abstinence, and the development of effective tools for an age group just becoming aware
of their sexuality and those most easily victimized by adults who take advantage of them,
serves a highly recognized need in our communities. We anticipate substantiation of the
effectiveness of the program through reduced pregnancy in early teens.
Community Foundation of Monroe County
Two projects brought great visibility this year. We supported the erection of a monument
for World Wars I and II through a grant and by administering a pass-through fund for the
World Wars Monument. We also gave a large grant to the Vietnam Veterans of America
to bring the "Moving Wall" VietNam Memorial to Monroe. Because of this support, we
have been approached by more organizations to establish new funds than ever in our
history.

Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation
The Foundation set up a committee and gran~ed $15,000 to fund a feasibility study to
establish the funding options for a community swimming pool, meeting rooms, etc. The
study is complete and the committee continues to move forward with the results of the
survey.
Community Foundation for Muskegon County
In 1991, the Foundation "adopted" 54 students, the entire 5th grade class in a low-income
neighborhood elementary school. Our goal was to find out why the children of families
who live in poverty aren't using the education system to advance themselves. We also
wanted to learn how a community foundation grant program could be most effective in
creating positive change in these children's lives. 27 of the 54 students are entering post
high school education, compared with 3 from the comparison group class. The lessons
learned from this program are being shared with the community. We expect the impact of
the results to be broad reaching in community institutions and the Foundation's own
grantmaking program.
Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
The Foundation gave $2,500 to Sandborn Township for their Kids Car Shinga-ba Shores
playground. The total cost of the project is over $100,000 and the entire community is
helping to raise money and volunteering time to build it.
Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation
The Foundation served as fiscal agent for two community improvement projects during
the past year. Both involved the building of new city parks, financed in large part by the
selling of engraved bricks. Our role in these projects was to receive and receipt the orders
and money and then pay out grants to the sponsoring organizations to cover expenses.
Our reputation and ability to provide tax deductibility for donations helped ensure the
success of these projects.
Saginaw Community Foundation
Between the last quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998, our foundation granted
$32,500 towards a Carousel project. This is a project that has involved not only hundreds
of community volunteers in the construction of the project, but also will serve generations
to come. (See Leadership Roles for further information)
Community Foundation of St. Clair County
A grant to Bridge Builders Counseling Inc. to develop a preventative program for
therapeutic support and educational services for single parent families.

quantity of water for a large portion of our population.
Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan
A $20,000 grant to the Youth Sports and Recreation Centers Project to support the
community involvement components of the Re-capitalization of Recreation Centers
projects. The grant will help to leverage funds for a $11.2 million renovation of four
recreation centers. The community will be partners in planning programs and services for
children, families, senior and the community at large.
Sturgis Foundation
A grant to the Michiana Addictions and Prevention Services organization. This group has
a program called HOPE for women recovering from various addictions. They meet
weekly to learn skills to help them out of their present situations. Our grant provides and
aid to help with the women from our community.

�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
We were greatly involved in the rebirth of the Albion Volunteer Service organization by
giving our support in a number of ways. Our most visible help was relieving them of rent
payments for eight months while they got back on their feet again. We regularly interact
with nonprofits in our building.
Allegan County Foundation
The Foundation worked with the city of Saugatuck to encourage local business owners to
donate buildings and land to the community for civic center. Results are pending.
Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
Staff met with representatives of agencies -eroviding services to seniors in the area.
Foundation staff presented the possibility that a portion of the senior designated funds
could be earmarked annually for an ongoing senior program. The agency representatives
quickly devised a plan that would provide for the emergency needs oflow-income elderly
with access through any of the agencies. The plan was further defined and refined by the
agencies and presented to the Board as the Senior Unmet Needs Fund. This fund has
attracted additional donors and has been successful in meeting the emergency needs of the
low-income elderly.
Barry Community Foundation
A donor was approached to discuss funding of a District Library in which funds would be
solicited from 6 townships and the City of Hastings. The concept is this library will better
serve the constituents of our community, with the long-term goal that it will become a
Regional Library. The donor was interested but hesitant to give a large first gift. The
Foundation was approached to set up a pass'-through fund because of the trust that has
been developed. With a new college in our county, our students need to have educational
and research materials more accessible. We are excited about the long-term potential that
this service will provide for our County.
Bay Area Community Foundation
We convened the DEQ, General Motors, a State Representative and a Congressman in a
project we call the Draper Property. The Foundation purchased wetlands to be used as an
environmental outdoor laboratory for school children to enjoy. Local service clubs will be
cleaning up the area and local businesses will be organizing a community build day.
Eventually, the property will be owned by the local school district.

Berrien Community Foundation
In February a public campaign was launched (with support from local media) to give voice
to the charitable interests and capabilities of women. The response generated a greater
awareness of the Foundation, expanded the foundation's donor base of women, raised the
power level of women in our community, and enabled many women to be active in the
grantmaking process of the Foundation. We now have a growing movement of
philanthropic women who realize that they are one of the community's greatest untapped
resources. As a result, there are two funds to serve women: 100 Women Strong supports
women in financial crisis and Woman to Woman supports various programs that help
women.
Branch County Community Foundation
The Foundation convened a nonprofit coalition to help nonprofit networking and to help
identify and address the opportunities and challenges unique to nonprofits.
Cadillac Area Community Foundation
Youth Leadership Conference included a needs assessment and strategic programs for
empowering youth.
Capital Region Community Foundation
The Foundation, by positioning itself as "The Center for Charitable Giving", is most proud
of its public service ability to answer, field or refer questions concerning "giving and
getting" for donors, nonprofits, corporations and professional advisors. These educational
initiatives, even those that do not directly benefit the Foundation today, are leading to a
sounder, collective understanding of charitable giving, and are steadily building
community resources over time.
Charlevoix County Community Foundation
The Charlevoix Venetian Festival fireworks explosion rattled our communities and
shattered the lives of several families. But good people in our area quickly rallied forming a special team, assessing the extent of damage and injury, organizing a number of
fundraising activities, and pitching in to do all they could to help. Within just a few
weeks, almost $300,000 was raised to assist families affected by the tragic mishap. The
Charlevoix Fireworks victim fund was created by local citizens with the Community
Foundation, to receive and distribute funds to help these families meet their expenses and
manage life's demands.

The Fremont Area Foundation
The Foundation funded and operated Leadership in Newaygo County (LINC) program
completed its first year. It provides residents and persons who work in Newaygo County
with the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills and broaden their perspective of th,e
County. Topics address a variety of skill development, critical issues/needs education and
other related materials from conflict resolution to strategic planning, and economic
development to natural resources.
The Grand Rapids Foundation
Helping the System Help Kids Report
This report represents the culmination of a five-year effort to improve the lives of children
in our community. Perspective 21 ! Resulted in creation of supportive services for families
referred to Protective Services for abuse, but where abuse was not substantiated. Families
for Kids is a W.K. Kellogg Foundation-funded system reform effort to decrease the
number of children in foster care. This project resulted in creation of the Family and
Community Compact, a program designed to involve families in creating a plan for care
when children are removed from their homes. The report also highlights other innovative
community child welfare programs, such as Healthy Start and Early Impact and details the
Foundation's role in their continuation.
Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation
The Foundation currently manages 15 environmental grants, the most of any community
foundation in the Great Lakes Collaborative for the Environment. All of the funds are
dedicated to protecting and enhancing the unique natural beauty and pristine quality of the
land and water resources in our region.
Gratiot County Community Foundation
The Foundation board members play a big part in the community. The most noticeable
are the leadership roles that many of our Board members have in the Gratiot County
Strategic Plan. This group has been active for several years and continues to supply goals
for the County. Our Board members have held the various board and committee positions.
In fact, it was partially because of the Strategic Plan that our Community Foundation was
formed.
The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area
The Foundation gave a grant to bring about the merger of two agencies that decrease
duplication of services. It has also been sought out to be part of community discussions
on community childcare, area wide concerns such as transportation and environmental
issues, and community development.

Jackson Community Foundation
Under the leadership of the Foundation working closely with the United Way of Jackson
County, a broad-based group of community leaders met to explore the creation of a center
to provide various forms of support for Jackson County nonprofits. We are confident that
the center will operational by April 1999.
Kalamazoo Foundation
Foundation program staff assisted in bringing together key players in the development and
implementation of a micro-loan fund for low-income entrepreneurs. The resulting project
has both the grass-roots support and the technical expertise it needs to promote a valuable
resource for the community.
Marquette Community Foundation
A collaboration of community nonprofit organizations facilitated the development of a
nonprofit collaborative office environment. The idea for this has existed for many years
and the project became reality in 1997. The Q.uilding is owned by the Children's Museum
and rent supports Museum programs. The Nonprofit commons offers many time,
personnel and cost saving opportunities for the tenants as well as other community
nonprofits.
Marshall Community Foundation
The Foundation has offered challenge grants to prospective grantees, brought adults and
youth together as community resources and has YACers serving on the United Way
Board.
Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
The Foundation worked with the Rotary Club Board to define the Club's framework for
effective giving. Now requests for funding are handled consistently, fairly and meet the
mission of the local club. The immediate result has been more effective giving, a benefit
for all nonprofit agencies in our area. The long-term result has been an opportunity to
demonstrate to a concerned group of involved community leaders our own expertise in the
charitable arena and how effective a community foundation can be in using community
resources.

Midland Foundation
We view the development of youth as commuhity 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 ofthe
year, we recognized a change of focus in our approach to the YAC. Instead of teaching
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
The Foundation is proud of its role in the development of new leaders in the community.
We do this through our funds, our committees and our support ofYAC. We also bring
leaders together to stimulate partnerships for the betterment of the community.
Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation
With the assistance ofMid Michigan CommunitY College, the Foundation held a free
grant writing class for nonprofits in Isabella County. It was very educational, very well
attended and very beneficial to the nonprofit sector. The Foundation hopes to continue
this educational series.
Community Foundation for Muskegon County
The Foundation made the decision in the mid 1970s to purchase a block of abandoned
property in downtown Muskegon which included an historic theater. Since that time the
Foundation has operated the Theater and provided financial support. In the 1980s the
Foundation undertook a fund drive that turned an adjoining property into a functioning
performing arts facility and in 1995 helped to lead an effort to pass a county-wide bond
issue for the renovation of the historic theater and an aging arena in the downtown area.
The bond issue was passed and in 1997-1998 the final step in the creation of the
Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts became a reality with the completion of an $8
million restoration of this classic theater. Because of the Foundation's leadership, a vital
50,000 square foot performing arts center now stands in an area that at one time was slated
to become a parking lot and has become a key anchor to downtown revitalization.
Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
The Foundation is proud of its leadership in (1) gathering community leaders together for
luncheons to discuss issues, (2) acting as a convenor in the region through the Great Lakes
Community Foundation Collaborative and (3) as co-sponsor of America's Promise in the
area.

Leadership Role of Community Foundation
(con 't.)
Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
We played a leadership 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 another. 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 Community Foundation
Through our board and group efforts, we are involved in community planning and
assisting nonprofit organizations. Our primary leadership role in 1997 was with the two
community parks projects (see Grants That Make A Difference). Another major impact
we had was with an environmental and educational organization called Dinosaur Hill
Nature Preserve. The Foundation provided them a matching grant for a capital building
drive and our Y AC made a five-year pledge in that same campaign.
Sanilac County Community Foundation
Our Y ACers are having a large impact on peer pressure in our schools. Students are
learning that community service isn't just for "nerds" - its for everyone.
Saginaw Community Foundation
The Saginaw Community Foundation has played a leadership role in a Carousel project
that has brought community members form all walks of life together to create a handcarved, 32-foot carousel. Since late 1996, community members have contributed their
time, money and talent to the creation of a work of art that will benefit Saginaw County
residents and visitors for generations to come. The $750,000 project was completed in
July of this year, and is operating at the local zoo.
Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan
In 1997, the Foundation began planning for the Southeastern Michigan Community
Partnership for Cultural Participation. Through the planning process, representatives from
hundreds of arts, cultural and community-based organizations convened to develop a plan
to increase participation in cultural programs.
Sturgis Foundation
The Sturgis Foundation has helped the Camp Fort Hill trustees in their effort to rejuvenate
their camp (see Youth Grants). We hold their endowment fund as well as their principal
and income fund. Without the Sturgis Foundation, the group may not have been as
successful with their fundraising efforts.

�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 YAC 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 of the 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 "fund 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, Y AC 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 the YAC.
14. The YAC may review youth-related proposals that are submitted to the community foundation atlarge. As experienced grantmakers, Y AC members can provide valuable insights into the value of
projects serving youth.

PROACTIVE AND CREATIVE GRANTS MADE BY
YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEES

Albion Civic Foundation
Our Y AC gave a grant of $2,000 this Spring to help fund a musical group from our Middle
School, the B Sharps, to visit our sister city in Noisy-le-Roi, France. This was an opportunity for
cultural enrichment as well as the spreading of good will.
Allegan County Community Foundation
$16,000 was granted to Wings of Hope Hospice to provide loss and grief education to all
Allegan middle and high schools. Subject matter deals not only with loss through death, but loss
of innocence, childhood and other forms of loss. This was the largest single grant to date and
impacted the entire county.
Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
A grant to Ann Arbor Public Schools Educational Foundation for the newly incorporated Ann
Arbor Teen Center provided start-up funds for rent, staffing and/or furniture for a Teen Center.
The grant represented the first funding for a community-wide project that had been on the Youth
Council' s agenda for over 3 years. The grant resulted in the opening of the Teen Center six
months later with leased space, staff, adult and youth boards, weekday and weekend programs,
and an operating budget of $200,000.
Bay Area Community Foundation
The Youth Initiative has granted $50,000 to build a Civic Arena/Ice Arena. We actually
awarded an additional $5,000 to start their endowment fund, which the YI implements. The
endowment fund is used for purchasing ice time for youth who could not otherwise afford it.
Berrien Community Foundation
There are several grants that made an impact in the community in which the program was
initiated: 1) Eau Clair Actitity League grant launched a new program to give kids in that small
community some recreational activities; (2) Lakeshore Key Club was able to launch a new
mentorship program between high school students and elementary students; and (3) Strength
Through Art -Youth Mural project made a big impact on a small number of students in the
Benton Harbor area, since they were able to work with a professional artist on a public work of
art that it views as an asset by the community.
Cadillac Area Community Foundation
A grant to our new Youth All-Sports complex.

�Proactive Youth Grants
(con 't.)

Capital Region Community Foundation
In 1997, the YAC funded far-reaching programs - from reading and educational travel, to crisis
centers and aid to teenage mothers. One grant, however, stands out. It was made to other teens
who directed, performed, and organized five plays presented, ultimately, to the community atlarge. The youthful participants ofthe All-ofUs Express Theater, learned organizational skills
enhanced personal self-esteem, successfully juggled multiple responsibilities, and participated in
hands-on experience. The experience was more than a performance or two, it was an exploration
and discovery of their personal best.
Charlevoix County Community Foundation
The Charlevoix County Friend of the Court will assign a social worker from their staffto work
with school personnel to assist families who are mutually served by both organizations. Studies
have demonstrated that conflict among divorced or separated parents has serious adverse effects
on children's academic performance, psychological development, self-esteem, peer relationships
and social skills. The objective of the proposed project is to help parents minimize the impact of
the divorce on children by teaching parents how to deal constructively with conflict and
increasing non-custodial parents' involvement in their children's school program.
Four County Community Foundation
The YAC awarded funds for a youth to attend I:_ine Arts Camp. This youth would otherwise not
have had the resources to attend the camp. She was able to improve her musical technique and
meet other students from all over the world.
The Fremont Area Foundation
The Newaygo County Youth Initiative (NCYI) awarded pro-active grants to five school districts
for the formation of Youth to Youth Mentoring Programs or for the enhancement of similar
existing programs. The NCYI facilitated the program's creation by convening area youth who
developed a program outline for the schools to adopt.
The Grand Rapids Foundation
A grant to Dispute Resolution Center provided summer jobs and conflict resolution training to 81
teens who assisted with playground supervision and used their conflict resolution training skills
at 21local parks in Grand Rapids. The project also involved six neighborhood associations.
Gratiot County Community Foundation
TheYAC granted money to Alma College's host committee for the AIDS Memorial Quilt
display. This definitely had an impact on everyone who viewed the quilt, particularly young
people.
Greenville Area Foundation
A grant to the Danish Kingdom to cover publicity and costs for the company to come to
Greenville to design the playscape.

�Proactive Youth Grants
(con 't.)

Hillsdale County Community Foundation
In 1997, YOUTH joined forces with General Endowment fund to challenge the community to a
$25,000 match to complete the required fund raising for the initial phase of"Fields of Dreams".
This was a community effort to develop some land in Hillsdale for sports and recreation
activities. The total estimates for the first phase of Field of Dreams was $325,000 and the
efforts involved large segments of the population. YOUTH's challenge led the Field Committee
to involve many youth volunteers in the project as well.
The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area
A grant to the American Red Cross of Ottawa County for a collaborative effort with Holland
Hospital for an HIVI AIDS peer education program. Young people from high schools, including
one of our own Y AC members, were part of the peer teams. The program was exceptional!
The Jackson Community Foundation
In 1997, the Yes for Youth Advisory Committee awarded a grant to the Jackson Area Dental
Clinic for the purpose of modernizing the clinic and increasing productivity. The Clinic was
established in 1972 for the purpose of providing dental care for children from low-income
families. The grant allowed the Clinic to increase productivity by purchasing their fourth dental
chair for operative procedures, allowing them to make use of their present staff. New cabinets
were also purchased which improved the Clinic's appearance and has made the children they
serve less apprehensive and more comfortable while at the same time making the facility
sufficiently attractive to continue to attract high quality professional staff.
Kalamazoo Foundation
A grant to Michigan Association for Children with Emotional Disorders received a grant to
support a group of emotionally impaired adolescents in their efforts to learn self-advocacy skills.
Youth United Way members were particularly impressed with this group's commitment to
increasing community knowledge about the barriers faced by kids with emotional disorders as
well as providing support for kids who face tough challenges within their schools and
community environments.
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 awardwinning 2-video series that is now being used by teachers district-wide for education.
Marshall Community Foundation
The grant supporting a Violence Prevention Workshop for county YACers had the most impact.
From this workshop county Y AC service projects were born as well as Y AC to elementary
students education projects to promote understanding among and acceptance of people different
from themselves.

Mark Well This Woman
CMF pays tribute to Dottie Johnson
In a ballroom resplendent in tall centerpieces and glowing
candles, the world of philanthropy came to pay tribute, in the
words of one speaker (Detroit Edison's S. Martin Taylor), to "the
creator, the voice, the spirit and the soul" of the Council of
Michigan Foundations, Dorothy A. (Dottie) Johnson.
After 25 years at the helm of the council, Johnson, who
disdains the term "retirement," announced last spring that, at 59,
she had chosen to "graduate" from her post atop the nation's
largest and most prestigious regional association of grantmakers.
By the time the evening's tribute in her honor was gaveled
into adjournment by Master of Ceremonies Russ Mawby, retired
head of the W.C. Kellogg Foundation, her "graduation" had been
lavishly observed by corporate, governmental and philanthropic
leaders.
The highlight of the evening was a set of announcements by
CMF Chair Ranny Riecker and Grand Valley State University
president Arend Lubbers.
Rieckertold Johnson that the Council's board had chosen
two gifts as "reasonable and suitable recognition" of
contributions: a permanently endowed Dorothy A. Johnson
Educational Fund to support honoraria and travel expenses for
Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) conference speakers
and an endowment for a Research Library on Philanthropy and
Volunteerism at Grand Valley State University where Johnson
serves on the Board of Control.
Riecker made the announcement, telling Johnson that "over
$1.4 million has already been raised from 90-plus donors to
support these two endowments in your honor."
Following Riecker's presentation, live trumpets sounded a
fanfare announcing President Lubbers' arrival, accompanied by
two GVSU students bearing a huge banner. The banner told the
story ofanothertributeto Johnson: the renaming of Grand
Valley's philanthropic center as ''The Dorothy A. Johnson Center
on Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership."

�Dottie, continued from front
In the two hours preceding these
announcements the tributes were lavish.
Michigan Governor John Engler spoke of
watching Johnson "harness the power of the
foundations in Michigan" to enable Michigan to
become "a model for the nation."
In person and on video, leaders from across
the U.S . told of Johnson ' s passion for her work,
her unchecked E";r1,usiasm and her unrivaled
success. They c..~ .. :1 the growth of
philanthropy in Michigan and nationally,
acknowledging her role in that growth. And
they recounted ways in which Johnson had
impacted their own lives.
A young woman who met Johnson through
the CMF's "Kellogg Youth Initiative" spoke
movingly of her decision to make philanthropy
her life work owing to the influence of Johnson.
"Do not go too far away," she said, "because the
youth of Michigan need you - and I need you."
From academic garb befitting a
commencement ceremony to a forgettable
rendition of"Hello, Dottie!" sung by "The
Dotti-ettes," five suit-clad men in massive black
wigs, it was an evening marked by evidence of
the difference one person can make.
During her three-minute response at the
close of the evening, Johnson was profuse in her
tribute and thanks to others . Her voice broke
only once, when thanking her husband, Mart,
'~ho centers me and makes it possible for me to
pursue my dreams -thank you for your loving
support."
Johnson's successor in the post of CMF
president, Robert Collier, was praised for the
qualities he will bring to the role come January 1. But the evening belonged to Johnson.
Perhaps the longest and most sympathetic
applause of the evening followed the concluding
tribute from the former President of the Ford
Motor Company Fund, Leo Brennan:
''To paraphrase Shakespeare, 'Mark well
this woman, for we shall not see her likes
again."'

�Granholm and Edie on legislative matters
Michigan Attorney General Jennifer M. Granholm and John A. Edie, vice president and general counsel for the Council
on Foundations, provided a behind-the-scenes look at developments on the state and national fronts that affect Michigan
grantmakers. The two spoke during Tuesday's "In Touch with Our Capitols" session.
Granholm, whose office ensures that nonprofits comply with state regulations, urged the session's attendees to let
their state lawmakers know they support a proposed amendment to the Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act.
The amendment (H.B. 4259) will streamline the process for registering nonprofits with Granholm's office and ensure
better enforcement of state regulations, she said.
On the national front, Edie made a prediction. "I'd say the chances of a tax bill being approved within the next 15
months are very, very slim," he said, pointing out that partisan wrangling virtually ensures President Clinton and the
Republican-controlled Congress will not reach an agreement before the 2000 election.
That means it likely will be several months before grantmakers need to consider the implications of any changes in
the tax code, Edie said.

Community Foundations: "For
good. For ever."

Family foundation trustees discuss challenges of
family growth

It didn't take long for the phrase to catch
on. By the end of the opening session of the
1999 Conference ofthe Council of
Michigan Foundations, "For good. For
ever." had become the rallying cry of the
250 people attending the session. CMF
Vice President and in-coming President
Robert S. Collier even lead the group in a
cheer ofthe slogan.
"In my humble opinion, this is one of
the most exciting times to be in the
community foundation field," Jack
Hopkins, president and CEO of Kalamazoo
Foundation, told representatives ofthe
state's 61 community foundations during
the opening session Tuesday.
The excitement was obvious as chief
executive officers, executive directors,
trustees and staff of community
foundations from across the state saw for
the first time the results of more than 10
months ofwork by the Venture Products
Fund. The enthusiasm focused on the
newly unveiled message- "For good. For
ever." -that is to be at the heart of the
foundations' efforts to promote statewide
awareness of their work and ensure their
long-term viability.

Mission statements, succession planning, donor intent and board
meeting attendance are just some of the challenges faced by
many oftoday's family foundations as their generations increase
in number and expand geographically. Family foundation
trustees discussed these issues during "Generations and
Geography: Impact ort Family Foundations," a Tuesday morning
workshop.
In addition to discussing these challenges, the audience
heard advice from Virginia Esposito, president of the National
Center for Family Philanthropy in Washington, D.C. Using her
25 years of experience in the foundation world as a backdrop,
Esposito highlighted two questions every family foundation
trustee should ask before dealing with any foundation issue:
"What are you trying to accomplish?" and "Does everyone
involved in the endeavor understand and share the
commitment?"
These questions are critical, Esposito said, because they get
at the heart of every foundation challenge: communication. "If
your family is located all over the place, you need to fmd
creative ways to communicate and come together," she said,
citing family retreats, meetings, board books and e-mail as
effective ways for family foundation trustees to communicate.
To achieve this kind of successful communication, Esposito
said, trustees must first answer two key points: why and how
they want a family member involved with their foundation in the
first place. "Most of all, think about who you want involved and
why and set up the systems to allow that to happen," she said.

How Grantm akers Can Impact Public Schools
"We need you, but 1t' s got to be in a way that's useful to us ." That was the message from Karen R. Todorov, a
social studies consultant for the Michigan Department of Education, who spoke to grantmakers during Tuesday's
"Impacting Public Schools: Lessons from the National Geographic Society" session.
Todorov advised the nearly 75 attendees of the session to support programs and provide opportunities that
help students apply what they learn in the classroom to the real world.
Michael Libbee, co-coordinator of the Michigan Geographic Alliance, and Lanny Proffer, executive director
of the National Geographic Society Education Foundation, told the attendees how the National Geographic
Society has done just that, leading a successful effort to improve geographic education in schools across the
country.
Based on a network of state alliances, the National Geographic Society has been able to leverage additional
funds to bring geography back into classrooms. For example, Michigan and about a dozen other states have
provided $500,000 in matching funds to establish $1 million endowments to ensure that geography remains at the
core of education.
Libbee advised those interested in improving education to explore opportunities to leverage additional funds
and employ collaboration as a way to get more for their investments.

Survey Provides Glimpse into Michigan's Corporate Giving Programs
Preliminary findings from a first-ever study of corporate giving programs show that Michigan companies make
more direct contributions to educational than to health and human services, arts and culture, civic and community
or other causes.
In a session Tuesday entitled "Corporate Foundations and Giving Programs," Dot Freeman ofthe Grand
Valley State University Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership also said that one-third of respondents
to a survey had established corporate foundations or trusts. However, only 29 percent of all giving decisions are
made by those foundations - 63 percent of gifts continue to be determined at corporate headquarters.
In a preliminary release of numbers, Michigan appears to lag behind other states, Freeman said. Nationwide,
donations amount to 0.8 percent of all pre-tax corporate profits; in Michigan, that amount is .25 percent, she said.
On average, U.S. employees make individual gifts of$329 per year. In Michigan, employees contribute $124
annually. Freeman stressed that the data is preliminary and final numbers will be available Dec. 14.
To date, 45 companies have responded to the survey, which is being conducted by Grand Valley State
University's Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership. The study was developed to show the giving
trends among Michigan corporations that have 100 or more employees.

The sobering civic health of the nation
Bennett delivers stern message to lunchtime crowd
While he warmed the audience with
his good humor, Dr. William J.
Bennett offered commentary on
sobering issues surrounding the
declining civic health of our nation.
Bennett, a former philosophy
professor who served as Secretary
of Education under President
Reagan and as the nation's "Drug
Czar" under President Bush, spoke
at Wednesday's luncheon address
and shared with conference attendees
findings from "A Nation of
Spectators," the latest report of the
National Commission on Civic
RenewaL
"We (Americans) are living in an
incredible bubble," Bennett said. "It
should be a time of enormous hope
and, if we look at our economic
resources, it is. But if we consider
our nation's civic life and health, we
often feel help less."
Two particular problem areas, he
said, are American families, which
face a great deal of pressure, and
fraying neighborhood and
community ties. Bennett stressed that
while moral and civic ills are
compounded by poverty, it is "an
evasion of responsibility to focus
only on the inner city" -- we must
also address issues rooted in the
average and most fortunate
communities, he said.
And nursing our nation back to
better civic health begins with the
individual, Bennett said. ''Too many
have become passive and disengaged
-there are so many opportunities for

engagement, but never before
have we felt so powerless ....
We fret but don't make personal
commitments to promote change
even in our own lives. We say
we don't have time, but
Americans have more leisure
time than ever before."
Bennett claimed that for each
ofthe nation's worst civic
problems, there is a person or
organization addressing them
effectively. He urged foundations
and others to search diligently
and support those programs
rather than recreating solutions.
The four critical institutions at
the root of civic health, as agreed
upon by the National
Commission on Civic Renewal,
are families, schools, faith-based
institutions and the media.
Bennett said that the media television in particular - is doing
a great deal of damage, not only
through the programs aired but
also because it keeps Americans
away from various activities,
such as interacting with each
other. "We must hold the
television industry responsible
for civic harm just as we hold the
tobacco industry responsible for
physical harm," he said. At the
same time, Hollywood and
television are important
educators, Bennett said, and we
should appeal to the industries to
make a positive impact.

Conference

A decade of compassion ... A
new era of hope
Honoring 10 years of the Michigan
AIDS Fund
If it was a celebration ofthe success ofthe
Michigan AIDS Fund, it also was a
sobering reminder ofthe work yet ahead, as
philanthropy gathered Wed-nesday night to
pay tribute to 10 years of service of the
Michigan AIDS Fund.
AIDS activist Mary Fisher, an honorary
trustee of the Fund, was among those who
paid tribute. Fisher point out that patently
false "good news" announcements about
the end of AIDS have made the battle
against the epidemic even more difficult.
"And against that dark background
shines the Michigan AIDS Fund," she said.
"Over the decade this fund has grown into
the largest, most responsive, and most
successful collaborative effort of its type
anywhere in the nation.
"Since the founding of the Michigan
AIDS Func(for every one of us who labors
with the reality of AIDS in our life, you
have become an uncompromising symbol
of hope. In fact, you are more than a
symboL You are the author of our hope."
And in his concluding remarks, CMF
Vice President and COO Robert Collier
reminded attendees that "The work is not
over. We need your continued
involvement."
The evening also provided the
opportunity for the Fund to recognize five
of its "heroes" -people whose vision, time,
talent and hard work gave rise to and
nurtured the Fund over the last 10 years.
They included outgoing CMF President
Dorothy "Dottie" Johnson, as well as the
Fund's first board chair, Barbara Getz; its
current board chair, Glenn Kossick; Fund
Board Member Leonard Smith; and former
W.K. Kellogg Foundation Program
Director Dr. Thomas Bruce.

Diverse audience discusses subtleties of prejudice

Reach out with talents, surgeon says

What began as a learning session on the complications of racial
prejudice turned into an emotional session Wednesday. ''White
Privilege" on Wednesday provided an opportunity for interactivity as participants were urged to share their assumptions
and experiences of how racial prejudice plays a role in
everyday life.
Peter Visser, vice president for human resources at D&amp;W
Food Centers, led a crowded Cascade Room in a discussion of
how philanthropy can help bring a solution to the problem of
racial prejudice. "There are no experts on racism and diversity,
but there are many people who have small parts of solutions,"
said Visser.
Through a series of questions, Visser guided the audience in
exercises that used real-life scenarios to address what he calls
"white privilege." In one exercise, audience members answered
yes or no to questions like ''When you walk into a record store,
is the music of your ethnicity easily accessible?" and "Has race
ever affected the job of you or someone you know?"
But if these exercises were interactive, a video about the
subtleties of privilege got the audience truly involved in the
session. One audience member told how, during the 1930s, he
tried to help get an African-American classmate elected class
president in a mostly white school. "They called me into the
principal's office and told me I couldn't do what I was doing,"
he said. Visser shared his own stories of prejudice from the
perspective ofhis young daughter's experience as an Asian
American.
Beyond personal stories, Visser told of how white privilege
relates to philanthropy and the giver's mindset. "Never make an
assumption about what your client needs," he said.

As a child of poverty who has become a worldrenowned pediatric neurosurgeon, best-selling
author and motivational speaker Dr. Benjamin
Carson knows what it takes to help young people
become successful. He shared that knowledge
with a capacity crowd Wednesday in the Pantlind
Ballroom.
Carson urged his listeners to direct their time,
energy and other resources to telling young
people what they can achieve. "That is going to be
the difference in whether we lead the world in the
future or become a distant follower," he said.
Carson sounded an alarm when he said that
Americans are enjoying prosperity similar to the
abundance enjoyed by once-great civilizations,
including ancient Egypt and ancient Rome - a
prosperity that didn't last for those civilizations.
"People think that can't happen here, but I
guarantee you - it can," he said.
In order to move away from America's
transition from a "can do" nation to a "what can
you do for me" nation, Carson said, each
individual must use his talents to elevate others,
particularly young people. Carson then urged his
listeners to identify their own talents and to reach
out to others to promote values and principles.
"Our diversity is not a problem; it's a strength.
We've allowed small-minded people to make it a
problem," he said. "The very thing that made this
a great nation will keep it a great nation."

Now is the Time: Connecting urban poor to employment
At least 90% of the people in the U.S. think that "welfare reform is a smashing success," said Sheldon Danziger, researcher
and professor at the University of Michigan. "But what about those people who can't work, can't find work, or can't find
full-time work?"
In a session Wednesday entitled "Putting People to Work - Implications for Philanthropy in Welfare Reform,"
Danziger, along with Louis Glazer of Michigan Futures and Kristin Seefeldt of UM, said the reality is that welfare reform
in Michigan leaves a lot to be desired.
First, the current welfare system doesn't provide the types of services many poor people need to become marketable to
employers, the presenters said. Domestic violence, a lack of transportation, and ofhealth care and child care all create
obstacles for the urban poor who are seeking to join the work force. In many cases, the state doesn't provide services to
overcome these obstacles - and Wednesday's presenters suggest community foundations should step in to fill that gap.
"Now is the time to act," said Glazer. "The jobs are available now. The economy needs it. Connecting the urban poor to
work is a good thing for the individual, but it's even better for their kids."
In addition, there is a lack of evaluation of the welfare reform process. According to Danziger, Michigan has not done
any evaluation since 1996. Without state money, researchers rely on donors like the Charles Stewart Matt Foundation to
help them assess the gaps between current policy and current and future needs.
"Foundations are making welfare reform research possible," said Danziger.

Philanthropy" has produced sessions
on the environment, education, economic development, arts, and youth
violence.
This conference will certainly go
down in history as the "swan song" for
our beloved CMF president, Dottie
Johnson. Through her dynamic,
impassioned leadership, she has built
our state organization into the premier
regional association. We will miss
Dottie, but wish her well as she begins
a new stage in her life. You'll all have

a chance to say "goodbye" in person at
what will be a "Grand Celebration"
for Dottie, with dinner, program and
dancing on Tuesday evening.
We are pleased to have Peter and
Pat Cook as our Honorary Chairs, and
to have such an outstanding array of
speakers, including Mike Wallace, Dr.
William J. Bennett, Mary Fisher, Isiah
Thomas, Ben Carson, Kent Amos and
Jennifer M. Granholm - - and that's
naming only a few of the notables.
Other excellent speakers and session
leaders are also sure to interest and
energize you.
All the great plans and volunteer
hours mean little without you, the
participant. We thank you for corning
to learn and to share. Let's have the
greatest conference ever.

Philanthropy - A Leader for
Livable Communities
Pantlind Ballroom, Concourse Level
Business as usual in today's cities means
something very different than it did just
20 years ago. The many complex issues
facing communities, the devolution of
government and the growth of metropolitan regions have brought new players
to the table. And given today's blurred
boundaries between business, government and nonprofits, it is hard to know
who is responsible for what and where
to turn for leadership. There are new
leaders to be found. It is simply a matter
oflooking in new places. Join a nationally acclaimed motivational speaker for a
discussion on how today's new leadership can be found in our communities.

Donors Platform

4:30 - 5:30p.m.
Combine money, communication
skills and big dreams and we have a
recipe for enrichment of our own
lives by helping others. Television
reporter, Mike Wallace; public health
pioneer, Mary Fisher; and social
entrepreneur Kent Amos, will be
interviewed in a panel discussion by
Charles Eisendrath, a former Time
correspondent who heads the
University of Michigan Journalism
Fellows program.
Wallace, who re-invented investigative reporting for on-camera
broadcasting, helped make 60 Minutes
the most successful show in the history of television. But he had lost track
of the University of Michigan, which
had given him his start. By creating a
fellowship for working journalists, he
"got back" an association with an
institution he admired, and co-chaired
its $1.3 billion endowment drive.

Mary Fisher

Kent Amos

Fisher, born to one of
Michigan's "first families" of business
had made her mark in art, politics, ,
and television. But when tragedy
struck, she discovered a powerful
new metier as crusader and launched
her effort with a landmark speech on
AIDS at the 1992 Republican
Convention. Founder of the nonprofit Family AIDS Network, Inc.,
she tirelessly works to increase
awareness, compassion, and prevention of HIV I AIDS.
Kent Amos responded to the crisis among African-American families
and a large number of inner city chil~
dren growing up without enough
parenting, by converting himself from
a Xerox corporate executive to
"superdad." How else to describe a
man who has adopted 87 children?
His Washington, DC Urban Family
Institute leverages and expands his
vision of the power of love that he
shares with his wife, Carmen.

The Value of a Racially Diverse
Student Body
President Ford Room,
North Concourse
Across the country in courts, classrooms, and the media, Americans are
deeply divided over the use of race in
admissions policies to colleges and universities. The University of Michigan is
currently cast as a defendant in two
important cases about its admissions
policies for the undergraduate and law
schools. The questions at the heart of
this case, the relationship between the
pursuit of racial diversity and the simultaneous imperatives of fairness are of
concern to everyone. Eugene Y Lowe's
recent book, Promise and Dilemma
(Princeton University Press 1999) tackles a number of crucial questions facing
college and university administrators,
faculty, and the public at large.

This discussion will highlight several
central themes in Promise and Dilemma
and explore the applicability in
Michigan and more broadly in
American Higher Education.

Rural Matters
Ambassador Ballroom, West,
Concourse Level
All is not harmonious in our rural
communities: there is division,
inequity, prejudice, ignorance, poverty
and sometimes a good dose of stubbornness. Yet there is a common
desire to see rural communities thrive.
The public school is often the last
major institution in a rural community.
The Rural Challenge is seeking to
strengthen the ties between rural
schools and their communities. Meet
a friend and advocate for rural
America in a candid discussion on
how foundations can help rural areas
build from within using their own
strengths.

Large company stocks have been far

A change

o{,(embers and friends,
On February 1, 2000, Rob Collier became president, replacing Dottie
Johnson who was honored at our Annual Conference by more than 800
individuals, including the Governor, for her 27 years of service to
philanthropy. We are grateful to all who contributed to the creation of the
two special endowment funds created in Dottie's name and to Grand Valley
State University for renaming their Center on Philanthropy in her honor.
The Board has named Dottie president emeritus, and Rob has retained her
with our support to assist on three special projects-one being publication of
the much awaited study on the payout issue completed in May.
Rob brings 20 plus years of experience as a volunteer, trustee and staff
member of CMF to his new role. We already see the momentum that he
and Dottie created as a team over the past five years continuing with
exciting new partnerships involving our members and the state on the issues
ofhomelessness and individual development accounts. The Board has
approved a Strategic Planning Process that will begin this fall with Williams
Marketing Services of Grand Rapids. You can expect to hear from us as
we ask for your guidance on issues such as membership growth and
involving the next generation.
. During the year there were three changes in the Board of CMF. We joined
our colleagues in mourning the unexpected passing of Bill Beckham,
president of The Skillman Foundation. We will miss his leadership and are
now seeking an appropriate replacement. We also thanked Jack Hopkins,
president ofthe Kalamazoo Foundation for his service and·welcomed Neeta
Delaney, president of the Community Foundation of Jackson County to
complete Jack's term.

in leadership .. .
our purposes
remain constant.

�Jjear mded cMarch 31 2000

The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), an association offoundations and
corporations making grants for charitable purposes, was incorporated in 1975 . CMF
continues to experience tremendous growth in the area of membership and special project
opportunities aimed at enhancing, increasing and improving philanthropy in Michigan
(see descriptions of these projects earlier in this report).
CMF is also responsible for two supporting organizations, the Michigan Community
Foundations' Ventures (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAP) as noted earlier in
this report, which were established in 1993. These organizations were established to meet
a specific need of the membership. The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
was renamed the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures in 1999 with a purpose of
supporting the joint program efforts of community foundations in the State of Michigan.
MAP continues to remain a leader in meeting philanthropy's response to the AIDS
epidemic in Michigan and serves as a national model for other organizations.
CMF's success is due to the tremendous support of its members which is evidenced by the
five endowment funds totaling $9,727,585, that have been established over the last several
years.

October 26, 1999

The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) has
reached an important transition point. Funded by the Charles Stewart Mott
Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, MCFYP began with two
goals, to build viable community foundations and to involve youth in
philanthropy. There are now 61 community foundations and 34 geographic
funds providing access to citizens in each of our 83 counties.
In addition, 86 permanent youth endowed funds are now overseen by more
than 1,500 high school youth grantmakers annually. Since MCFYP began
more than 5,000 young people have been involved in awarding more than $3
million. It is through your accomplishments and hard work that MCFYP
and youth grantmaking has become a national and international model for
involving the next generation in philanthopy. Congratulations - our goals
have been completed and surpassed our expectations!
This Data book contains examples of community foundation grants and
leadership activities that _are making a difference throughout Michigan. It
also offers examples of proactive grants by the community foundation youth
advisory committees. I offer my sincere appreciation to the MCFYP Board
of Trustees and the members of the State Youth Advisory Board for the
leadership and talent they have contributed.
MCFYP will now become a permanent committee of CMF with the majority
of its members youth under the age of 21. This Committee will oversee the
continued technical assistance activities supporting youth grantmaking.
CMF will continue to offer specialized technical assistance for community
foundations, especially those with assets of under $10 million. In keeping
with our mission to increase philanthropy in Michigan, we are committed to
helping community foundations and their youth grantmakers continue the
momentum started by MCFYP.
We can all be proud of the achievements ofthe Michigan Community
Foundations' Youth Project, and the role it will continue to play in the 21 st
Century!

�COMMUNITY FOUNDATION BEST PRACTICES
Principles &amp; Practices

Individuals and communities involved in creating and operating a community foundation in Michigan have
asked for guidelines and best practices to consider when assessing the operational effectiveness of their
foundation. With this in mind, the Community Foundation Committee of the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF) has adopted the following best principles and practices and recommends their adoption
by the boards of trustees of community foundations and an annual review for new and current trustees.
Michigan is unique in having community foundations included in the state tax code as a result of the
individual and business tax credits. The goal of these best principles and practices to promote well-run
community foundations that can best maximize the potential for asset growth and grantrnaking in their
communities.
CMF has a close relationship with the Community Foundations Committee of the Council on Foundations in
Washington that is working on the development of national standards for community foundations. It is
recognized that the principles for best practices summarized below represent a "work in progress" that will
eventually be merged into one national document for community foundations.
While state and/or federal law require many of the best practice principles, the Committee recognizes there
are different approaches to implementation of some principles. As a result, CMF has developed a manual on
Best Practices for each of the six main principle headings. It is also recognized that the six main principles
are integrated- e.g. that communications is key to effective governance,
administration,
asset development
.

Grants That Make a Difference
Summaries of 1998 grants submitted by community foundations for their community impact.

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
A grant to assist in the development of a pilot outreach program for high-risk homeless addicts.
Committed to breaking the cycle of addiction, Dawn Farm proposed a transitional facility that
supports addicts and alcoholics that are chronically homeless and unemployed. The grant funds
were used to support research for a pilot program that Ann Arbor never had. The week after the
grant was approved, Dawn Farm was approached with the opportunity to rent a former crack house
and set up the transitional program. It was so successful in its first year of operation, Dawn Farm
has recently purchased an 18-unit apartment complex to provide more transitional housing.
Barry Community Foundation
A matching grant to the Delton Area Senior Housing Committee to purchase equipment and
furniture for the common areas of the Country View Senior Housing Project. The HUD grant did
not allow for the "extras" that are necessary for a housing development ofthis nature. With the
assistance ofthis matching grant, the Housing Committee was able to purchase all of the equipment
necessary for the residents to enjoy a desirable quality of life.
Bay Area Community Foundation
Childcare needs are very high in Bay County. It has been proven that, sometimes, many lower
income parents can not hold down steady jobs _due to childcare needs and demands. Many parents in .
our area have a difficult time finding affordable quality daycare on a minimum wage job. Campfire
Boys &amp; Girls of Midland, Bay and Saginaw Counties are now providing quality affordable childcare
in Bay City thanks to a grant from our Foundation. The average daily charge is $10 per student, but
scholarships are awarded to families who cannot afford the tuition. There is now one less obstacle
preventing some community members from keeping or getting a job.
I

..

Berrien Community Foundation
During the past two years, an unusually high number of children lost their lives due to home fires in
Berrien County. The Berrien Community Foundation had a big impact in bringing Little Squirt out
of the repair shop and back on the road. This grant also expanded the number of schools Little
Squirt could visit to teach children to "stop, drop, and roll." One of the most unusual teaching tools,
Little Squirt is having a positive impact on the fire safety education of children and their parents.
Branch County Community Foundation
The Foundation helped fund the Dearth Community Center. There was no single location that
nonprofits could rent that would accommodate 800 people. Community organizations and
individuals can now rent the center for volunteer appreciation activities and other community events.

�Grants That Make A Difference
(con 't.)
Dickinson County Area Community Foundation
Through a grant from our Foundation, the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center was pleased to offer 20
free Nature Naturally programs to elementary and middle school classes in our area. Nature
Naturally is a program designed by the Florence Natural Resource and Wild River Interpretive
Center to provide quality supplemental natural resources programs for area students.
Grand Haven Area Community Foundation
The Board of Trustees and the Youth Committee jointly funded start-up costs for a new non-profit
agency called the North Ottawa Ethnic Diversity Alliance. The group had previously existed as an
all-volunteer organization, but now is able to hire a full-time director. The goal at the agency is to
create and continue a community that embodies diversity.
Gratiot County Community Foundation
A grant was given to seven elementary schools to provide items for students who had needs that
were not being met otherwise. Teachers and counselors went shopping to provide their most needy
students with clothing, food, reading books for home and other necessities. Faculty and recipient
students were touched by this grant, as were local businesses that offered a discount on these
purchases.
.
Hillsdale County Community Foundation
'
.
The grant to the Rotary bike path has had the most impact. We were involved in the initial planning, ·
helped them include a youth component, and were a player in the collaboration between the service
club, city government, the public and the Foundation.
.

The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area
A grant and pledge to Boys &amp; Girls Club supported their capital campaign to build a facility that will
offer a unique place where children of all walks of life can come together under one roof. The center
opened in 1999 and has been highly successful and often filled to capacity.
Jackson Community Foundation
After two years of collaboration and coordination with local nonprofit organizations and funders, the
Jackson Nonprofit Support Center became a reality. Jackson's nonprofits now have access to the
information and support they identified as the most important resources needed to operate efficiently
and effectively. With a grant from the Foundation, an endowed fund was established to assure the
Center's ongoing operations.
Marshall Community Foundation
A grant to the fire department supported purchase of a Thermal Imaging Camera that allows
firefighters to "see through" smoke to find people trapped in a building.

Grants That Make A Difference
(con 't.)
Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
A grant was made to the Niles-Buchanan YMCA to provide new pool entry steps to facilitate use of
the pool by handicapped and senior citizens for aqua therapy classes and for those who use the pool
for physical therapy. The grant included funding for the creation and distribution of brochures in all
doctors' offices and pharmacies in the area to advertise the programs available for these target
groups. Participants no longer have difficulty or embarrassment about entering and leaving the pool
and classes are now filled at each session.
Midland Foundation
Two projects have particular significance. Grants were made to Meridian Public Schools in support
of "Project Pride" for renovation of the outdoor athletic facilities of the district that impacts all the
youth and many of the residents of the Sanford area. An additional multi-year project, "Restore the
Dream", supports the restoration of an art deco theatre/auditorium within Midland Public Schools,
and impacts all the students of the district as well as many community groups which will use the
facility.
Community Foundation of Monroe County
A grant wasgiven to display the VietNam Memorial Moving Wall which provided excellent
exposure for the community foundation, with over 20,000 visitors.
Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation
The Community Foundation awarded a grant to purchase a new furnace for the Historical Society
building located in Mt. Pleasant. This helped to strengthen the Society and broaden our field of
giVmg.
Community Foundation for Muskegon County
A grant to Catholic Social Services supports the Directions program that works with teen mothers
and their babies to ensure the safety, emotional and physical well-being of these at-risk children in
our county. The goal of this program is to prevent a second pregnancy for these teen moms, while
connecting them to community resources. The Directions Program is intensive, long-term and
individual, using both home visits and the use of a teen parent advocate. 85% of the teens in this
program do not give birth to a second child.
Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
A grant was made to the Alpena Homeless Coalition for the purpose of providing community
education regarding homelessness. The Coalition presents specific events to dramatize homelessness
as well as general community education on the facts ofhomelessness, and resources available to help
people.

�Grants That Make A Difference
(con 't.)
Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
Even in so bountiful an area as ours, safe, affordable housing remains elusive for many families.
Two substantial grants this year went to the Char-Em Housing Coalition and Habitat for Humanityorganizations that are doing their best to make certain no one is left out as housing prices and land
costs continue to rise.
Community Foundation of Greater Rochester
Our largest and most visible grants were awarded to two local community projects: Rotary Gateway
Park and Veterans Memorial Pointes. These are both highly visible and received much publicity.
Community Foundation of St. Clair County
The purchase of a telemedicine communication system for the Visiting Nurses Association allows
nurses to monitor patients from a central nursing station, while the patient remains in the comfort of
their home. It allows both the examiner and patient to talk to and actually see one another through
the use of telephone lines. The examiner can also monitor the patient's blood pressure and pulse and
listen to heart and lung sounds.
Sault Area Community Foundation
A grant was used to purchase water testing equipment by the Munuscong River Watershed
Association, for use by area high school environmental classes. This information is placed in
data.base form and then entered into a web si!e at Lake Superior State University. This type of handson work project promotes goodwill, volunteerism and concern for the local environment and its
impact on the surrounding community.
Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan
A grant was made to Wayne State University for the Weather Stations Network Program. The goal
of this project is to establish a network of weather stations in high schools throughout Southeastern
Michigan. These stations are used by teachers trained at the 1998 Summer Sciences Institute to
collect weather data used in classes at their schools, and also by a central server and posted on the
Internet. The intended benefits are to improve high school education in science, encourage teacher
collaboration across district lines and enhance lessons ofteamwork collaboration and electronic
communication for the students.
Sturgis Foundation
A grant of $10,000 to The Sturgis Neighborhood Program supports rehabilitation of housing in our
downtown area in addition to selecting tenants who are committed to learning how to improve their
standard of living. They provide many support services to their tenants.
Tuscola County Community Foundation
A grant was awarded to the AYSO Soccer Club, that is just getting started in Caro, and has over 400
young boys and girls involved.

�Leadership Role of Community.Foundations
Summaries of 1998 leadership activities submitted by Community Foundations.

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
The Foundation's Distribution Committee targeted housing and homelessness as a grant focus for
1998. In an effort to leverage the Foundation's funds, a group of 20-25 service providers were
convened to target specific needs and dvelop a project proposal to submit to the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation's Local Initiatives Funding Partners Program. The proposal was not funded, but
the primary local funding partners, the Foundation and county government have continued to support
the concept and have developed a collaborative grant program that will be implemented in 1999.
Berrien Community Foundation
Business and community leaders, educators and the general public have accepted the Berrien
Community Foundation's invitation to recognize outstanding teachers in Berrien County. All to
often teachers never receive the public recognition for their contribution to the teaching profession,
yet their impact is immeasurable and significant to our quality of life. Through the Golden Acorn
Awards Program, the Foundation has successfully taken a leadership role to raise public awareness
and appreciation for the outstanding teachers in Berrien County.
Branch County Community Foundation
Th~ 1 Foundation initiated a Nonprofit Coalitron that helps local nonprofits address administrative
needs. The NPC. created a countywide volunteer form for individuals to fill and return to the.
Foundation. The Foundation forwards the application to the organizations indicated by the
volunteer, and contacts are made.

Dickinson County Community Foundation
Supporting our new Volunteer Resource Center has been a key leadership activity.
Four County Community Foundation
Our Foundation participated in focus groups for "Creating a Healthier Macomb". This mission is to
set an example of collaborative problem-solving and to be the impetus for shared efforts aimed at
improving the quality of life ofthe residents ofMacomb County.
Grand Haven Area Communty Foundation
We initiated a new needs assessment, focusing on healthy community indicators rather than just
deficits, in partnership with the United Way. This was previously done in 1994.
Gratiot County Community Foundation
Our Board members played a major role in the Gratiot County Strategic Plan that has been active for
several years in continuing to develop goals for the county.

The Community Foundation, in collaboration with other community partners, has helped to establish
a Neighborhood Family Resource Center pilot project. Located in an inner-city school, the Center
provides families with one-stop human service programs.
Keweenaw Community Foundation
The Foundation has served as a convenor in the community on environmental issues. As a member
of the Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative, we have brought together
diverse community groups to educate them on environmental issues such as land use and begun the
development of a multi-county watershed initiativ-e.
Leelanau Township Foundation
Our foundation has had a leadership role in the fund raising for a community arts center. We created
a pass-through fund for collecting construction dollars and also an endowment fund for the center's
long-term operation.
· Michigan ·Gatewf[y Community Foundation
With increased tourism and water-related activities, our Unity Hospital Education Fund invited the
Buchanan Township Fire Department to develop a plan for water safety in conjunction with other
area fire departments. The Fund's primary concerns were with water education to prevent injury and
death. With this focus, the foundation helped to purchase a fire boat.
Midland Foundation
The need for affordable housing in Midland County is significant. The Midland Foundation was
pleased to be a partner in a multi-unit apartment project by raising local dollars, purchasing land, and
gifting it to the Affordable Housing Alliance for this project. Other partners were the United Way of
Midland County (provided staff to incubate the new Alliance), the City of Midland (owners of an
adjoining piece of property also used for the facility), and the local private foundation community
(significant funding).
Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation
The Foundation awarded a grant to the Volunteer Center oflsabella County to create an endowment
fund in the Foundation. With the assistance of matching grants, the Foundation's original grant
resulted in a $50,000 endowment and $50,000 for their ongoing projects.

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

Community Foundation for Muskegon County
The Foundation became a partner in a statewide childcare initiative called Joining Forces funded by
the W.K. Kellogg, Skillman and Frey Foundations. This initiative allowed the Foundation to bring
diverse groups together to increase access to quality childcare for low-income families and to
strengthen the overall system of childcare in the community. Last year, Joining Forces of Muskegon
County supported ten welfare moms as they created new licensed childcare businesses in lowincome neighborhoods. The project has also undertaken initiatives intended to affect system wide
change in the local childcare industry.
Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
The leadership role we are most proud of is being fiscal agent for the Multi-Purpose Activity Center
(M-PAC) organization. Through community donations, M-PAC has raised over $1.4 million for the
Sunrise Side Ice Arena. This widespread support has allowed M-PAC to have a millage request
placed on the November ballot for construction of the Arena.
Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
The Foundation convening non-profit directors a couple of times a year to share information and cochair a new leadership training program to inspire participation in civic leadership roles.

Foundation coordinated and hosted a fall luncheon series, with monthly topics covering issues such
as Groundwater Stewardship, St. Mary's River Task Force, Household Hazardous Water, Binational
Public Advisory Council (BPAC) and the Munuscong River Watershed Council. The Foundation
has also awarded environmental grants and has just received a LEARN and SERVE Grant from
MCSC for an environmental student project in coordination with the Munuscong River Watershed
Association.

�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 (Y AC). It is helpful to review these annually as part of a self-audit process. The role of
the YAC 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 of the 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 "fund raising" activities.

'

'

-

8. The YAC completes an annual proactive grantma,Ung 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 YAC
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 the
YAC.
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.

EXAMPLES OF
PROACTIVE AND CREATIVE GRANTS MADE BY
YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEES
Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
This matching grant initiative provided startup support with community donations in response to the
Youth Council'S Teen Center Challenge. This grant not only helped to make the dream of a teen
center a reality, but also generated broad community support.
Barry Community Foundation
A grant to the Hastings Junior Chamber of Commerce established the Yellow Ribbon Project that
creates awareness of teen suicide and its prevention. This project includes letters to parents of high
school students, distribution of cards to all teens and provides information during study hall periods
on how to use your card if you are in a crisis situation. On the first day of distribution, a young man
turned his card in to a counselor, seeking help.
Battle Creek Community Foundation
The Habitat for Humanity- Student I.M.P.A.C.T. grant had the most impact. The community was
able to see youth address a social issue in a realistic way. The Y AC raised the money, put up walls,
etc. They were in charge of the project.
Bay Area Community Foundation
The Youth Initiative of BACF awarded the Bay City Players a grant for their Y outheatre program.
The Bay City Players theatre provides a needed cultural outlet in the Bay community, and provides
theatrical opportunities for adults as well as chi1dren. The theatre is also an historical icon in the
community since it is the oldest community based theatre in Michigan.
Berrien Community Foundation
Benton Harbor middle school students now have the opportunity to experience the excitement of
sailing on Lake Michigan. Thanks to a grant from the Berrien Community Foundation Y AC,
students are learning the skills of sailing while also learning the dynamics and benefits of teamwork.
The students are also learning about the environment and how important fresh water is to our
survival.
Branch County Community Foundation
The Y AC issued an RFP to organizations addressing ongoing substance abuse prevention for teens.
SADD groups from the 4 local school districts received funds. Youth for Christ/Campus Life cosponsored withY AC a program to bring in a nationally known speaker to address the issues of selfesteem and substance abuse. The school districts, as well as the community, benefitted from the
programs.
Charlevoix County Community Foundation
In 1997, the YAC awarded Planned Parenthood Northern Michigan a grant to develop and pilot a
male responsibility program aimed at adolescent boys. The goal of the program was to reduce teen
pregnancy by impacting adolescent males' self-esteem, communication skills, knowledge of
sexuality and contraception arid decision-making skills. An adult male leader and male peer
educators facilitate the program. Initial feedback from participants showed such positive results that,
in 1998, the program was expanded to seven counties in Northern Michigan.

�Proactive Youth Grants
(con 't.)

Dickinson County Community Foundation
A workshop was provided to give young people an opportunity to explore stagecraft principles and
see them in actual stage production at the Community Performing Arts Center. The workshop
involved many professionals from the community working with the youth for the play Scrooge:
Stingiest Man in Town.

Grand Rapids Community Foundation
The Youth Committee has supported summer programming at the Grand Rapids Metropolitan
YMCA for four years. Through the YAC's most recent grant, the YMCA's summer middle school
program will offer middle school-aged youth the opportunity to get together with peers at the
downtown or West YMCAs five nights a week, instead ofthree nights a week as in previous years.
This gives youth a place to go away from environments of substance abuse and violent behavior.
Gratiot County Community Foundation
A YAC grant supported a cultural trip by 3'd graders from one of the depressed elementary schools in
our county for a cultural trip. The students only asked for funds for bus transportation, and earned
admission to the event themselves. The fact that the request was only for part of the event, with the
students earning the remainder, had a great impact on theY AC members.
Hillsdale County Community Foundation
A grant was made to the student council of Pittsford High School for an "American Humanities
Live" project. This became a community activity involving all the children in the school (K-12).
Different areas of arts were presented on the main street of the town by and for young and old. The

Proactive Youth Grants
(con 't.)
Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
This grant facilitated a peer tutoring program presented by senior Spanish students for new Spanish~
speaking children in Buchanan schools. In the course of helping the students with their school work,
the high school students were called upon to help parents translate their school and social needs and
concerns as well. The good of the grant expanded from helping individual children do better in
school to helping families blend more effectively into the community, which became more open and
welcoming to cultural diversity.
Midland Foundation
The grant theYAC believes has had the greatest impact is the Circle of Health Partnership's "Teens
Teaching Teens" grant. This is a peer education program, which teaches students about drugs and
alcohol so they can teach their peers. The program has been quite successful. Thirty students
completed the training and have had the opportunity to make a significant impact as they have
trained over 200 more students.
Community Foundation for Muskegon County
One of the most significant YAC grants was to the Michigan Pine and Dunes Girl Scout Council.
On the
Girl Scouts property, there
was an inaccessible low-lying wetland habitat area. With help
I
.
from theYAC grant, the Girl Scouts made this-area accessible to physically disabled youth by
building a new trail system. Their science program serves over 2,000 youth a year and is one of the
few that focus on pond and wetland habitat in the county.

Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
A grant given to Get Excited And Rally (G.E.A.R.) is supporting construction of a skateboard park.
This park provides many local students with a place to go after school, which is away from the
congested downtown area. This grant, along with funds from other local organizations, is making
the permanent park a reality.
Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
Early, unintended pregnancy is always a concern. Instead of going the easy route and expanding our
conventional sex ed programs, our YAC is encouraging some new approaches in our communities.
For example, we helped fund an innovative project aimed at helping teenage boys change their
attitudes about gender roles, dating, and risky behavior; continued support of MERIT, a far-reaching
program that helps young girls develop life goals, make healthy decision, and steer clear of peer
pressure; and made a grant to "Who's in Charge?", a program that promotes teen responsibility and
abstinence.
Community Foundation of Greater Rochester
Our Y AC participated in a Chamber of Commerce program to fund teacher incentive projects. The
YAC chose 3 proposals from area schools and funded the teachers for innovative classroom projects.

tracking their school's sports statistics while improving participants' math skills. The program,
called The All Sports Club, teaches youth how to track and interpret statistics. In addition,

the process.

Why do hotel rooms sell out so quickly?

Full description and cost of each tour is listed in the "Special
Events" brochure. Attendees must pre-register for all tours
and golf.

Each year CMF blocks more rooms at our conference hotel
in order to meet demand. Over the past few years, we have
seen an unfortunate pattern among members that is creating
a problem for all of us. Members frequently take more rooms
than they really need. Unfortunately, these same members
don't cancel the unneeded rooms until very close to the
conference dates. This results in empty rooms at the conference hotel, even while other conference attendees are having
to shuttle back and forth between the headquarters hotel and
the overflow properties.
We need your help to alleviate this situation. Please, only
book rooms for registered conference participants.The people
who are inconvenienced when you overbook are your colleagues. Also, many people are not aware that the standard practice in the hotel industry is to charge conference organizers, like
CMF, for rooms booked but not filled. CMF does not think
that's a good use of charitable resources. Please keep this in
mind when making reservations for future conferences.
We are also investigating the costs and benefits of changing our reservation system to require advance registration at

We need your help! A block of rooms has been reserved at the Grand Traverse Resort (Resort)
with overflow accommodations at the Sleep Inn. The Sleep Inn is one mile from the Resort. The
Resort reports a full house. If you have blocked a number of rooms for your staff, trustees and
others and are not using all of them, please call Sandy Katt at CMF before releasing unused rooms.
This will allow us to reassign the rooms to fellow CMF members needing rooms. The conference
brochure details special rates and telephone numbers.
We encourage you to register early and take advantage of the savings. Electronic conference
registration is available through CMF's website at www.cmif.org. We are excited about the

Old Mission Peninsula: Preserving the rural
character and scenic views if OMP-A look at Old
Mission's nationally renowned PDR Program: In
1994, Old Mission Peninsula made national
headlines when Peninsula Township residents
voted to increase their property taxes for 15
years in an effort to preserve farmland and
scenic views through the purchase of development rights (PDR).

Grand Traverse Area Tours
9:30 - 11:30 a.m.
(Advance registration required.)
Conferees will meet at the entrance of the
Grand Traverse Resort at 9:30 a.m. where they

Six years later, the PDR program on Old
Mission has had tremendous success.
Cooperative efforts of the Old Mission and
Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancies,
Peninsula Township, American Farmland Trust,
and the State of Michigan have resulted in the
protection of over 4,000 acres of farmland and
other significant natural lands through purchase of developments, donation of development rights, special use permits, and public
ownership.

Seven Bridges Natural Area: Seven Bridges
is best known for its rustic wooden bridges
crossing the Rapid River and its adjacent tributaries.
Seven Bridges rolling hills offer beautiful views
of the Rapid River Valley, and its open meadows provide exceptional opportunities for
wildlife viewing. This natural area is also a
photographer's paradise; rustic looking bridges,
the braided waters of the Rapid River, and
twisted cedar trunks make it an excellent spot
to capture nature's beauty on film. The Rapid
River is also a state- recognized trout stream.

This bus tour will provide a first-hand look at
the program's most exciting accomplishments.
We'll stop by two peninsula wineries, take in
some spectacular view of Grand Traverse Bay,
and visit a working farm protected by PDR.
Dress is casual. Very little walking involved.

This short hike of the bridges area will include
tales of Seven Bridges' rich history and an
informative talk on stream ecology. Dress is
casual. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Historic Homes Tour &amp; Opera House:
Join us for a highlights tour ofhistoric
Traverse City. First stop is the Boardman
Neighborhood District,,where the Hull
Family homes still exhibit turn-of-the-century
grace and elegance. Mr. Hull, president of the
well-known Oval Wood Dish Factory, was a
leading Traverse City industrialist of the 1890s.

Antrim Creek Natural Area: The real beauty of Antrim Creek Natural Area (ACNA) lies
in its diversity. Its wide sandy beaches are quintessential Northern Michigan coastline; its fragile
dunes support the Pitcher's thistle and the Lake
Huron tansy, the former on the federal threatened species list and the latter on the Michigan
threatened species list; its mature forests include
majestic white pines, spared from the logger's
axe; its wetlands abound with wildlife; and its
namesake creek is a spawning area for Great
Lakes fish species such as steelhead.

From there we will travel through the Traverse
City Historic District on downtown Front
Street, stopping at the 190-year old City
Opera House. Listed on both National and
State Historic Site Registers, this "Grand Old
Lady" is poised to enter a complete restoration. One of the 128 Opera Houses built in
Michigan in the late 1800s; it remains one of
three statewide with significant historical
integrity.

ACNA is teeming with wildlife today, but this
stunning natural area once teemed with
human life, too. It was formerly the site of
Antrim City, a wharf and whistle stop during
the Northern-logging era. For decades,
Antrim City was a principle market town on
the coast between Charlevoix and Elk Rapids.
The cemetery, located on a bluff overlooking
the old town site, is the last visible relic of this
bustling settlement.

We will then proceed to the Central Neighborhood District, established by Perry
Hannah, father ofTraverse City. The Hannah,
Lay &amp; Company was the chief economic force
in Traverse City from 1850- 1900, controlling
not only the lumber business, but also banking
and merchandising. This magnificent Sixth
Street home is the focal point of a brick street,
lined with unique gardens and fabulous
Victorian architecture.

To start, attendees will gather at the former
landowner's home to talk about the unique
cooperation that made this project possible.
The C.S. Mott Foundation, Grand Traverse
Regional Community Foundation, Grand
Traverse Regional Land Conservancy, and the
Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund all
collaborated to protect Antrim Creek Natural
Area. From here, we'll take a short walk down
to the beach, where you can enjoy one of the
longest and most striking stretches of undeveloped shoreline in Northern Michigan.

Final stop for this tour is the Grand Traverse
Commons Area, former home of the
Northern Michigan Asylum. Restoration of
this 400 acres of parkland, including historic
buildings and beautiful arboretum, is taking
place through several community partnerships.

This short hike does include a sandy trail, but
there are no steep climbs. Dress is casual and
comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Tour will include moderate walking.

Leaders: Karen Smith, Development Chair, City
Opera House Heritage Association; and Carol
Hale, Grand Traverse Heritage Center.

Leaders: Glen Chown, Executive Director, Grand
Traverse Regional Land Conservancy; Lois
DeBacker, Program Officer, C. S. Mott Foundation;
and J eanne Snow, Executive Director, Grand
Traverse Regional Community Foundation.

Embracing Our
Future
Council of Michigan Foundations

�The Council of Michigan Foundations is a
nonprofit association of foundations and corporations
which make grants for -charitable purposes.

As a membership organization, our mission is to increase,
to enhance, and to improve philanthropy in Michigan.

�Embracing Our
Future
Dear members and friends,
Trustees, staff and members are now fully involved in a Strategic Planning
Process as we "Embrace our Future." We are grateful for the more than
200 members who responded to the membership survey and the 40 plus
members who participated in conference calls and focus groups. You have
reaffirmed that our Mission "to increase, to enhance and to improve philanthropy in Michigan" is right on target!
You have also provided us with
thoughtful ideas on how we can fulfill
this mission together through
activities that support our six
purposes. There are now trusteeand member-led task forces tackling
the issues of communications and
marketing, membership services,
education and networking, as well as
technology. We look forward to
sharing the initial results of the work
from these task forces and this
Strategic Planning Process at the
Annual Members Meeting as part of our
29th Annual Conference in Detroit.
During this year there were several
key changes on the CMF Board of
Ranny Riecker p asses the gavel to
Trustees. First, Dave Campbell was
CMFfSJ new chair, C. David Campbell.
enthusiastically appointed the new
Chair. We are grateful to Ranny
Riecker, who will stay on the Board, for her two years as Chair during a time of
transition in leadership for our organization. John Frey, Jim Greene and
Amanda Van Dusen were elected by the membership as new Trustees. But our
Vice Chair for Corporate Services, Lynn Feldhouse, stepped down after many
years of dedicated service to the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund and CMF.
As philanthropy continues to grow in Michigan, CMF does as well. We were
pleased to welcome 32 new members, representing all aspects of organized grantmaking. The Board joins us in thanking the staff and many
volunteers who have helped to make the accomplishments, noted on the
following pages, happen . Please feel free to call us with your ideas on how
we can best assist you with your grantmaking and together increase,
enhance and improve philanthropy in Michigan.

continues to be the primary project of MCFV.
Activities this year have focused on :
Mission:

•

Minimum standards-47 community
foundation boards have validated that their
community foundations meet standards on
governance, finance and administration, donor
relations, grantmaking, communications and
convening.

•

A common identity system-All Michigan
community foundations now include the word
community in their name. Many are now
presenting their name in a common way while
retaining local logos .

•

A capacity building curriculum-Trustees and
staff participated in a series of four interactive
distance-learning sessions on marketing .

•

A statewide professional advisor marketing
campaign-Ads placed with statewide
professional period icals, and magazines like
Business Week have been complemented by
local activities for advisors.

To support joint programs of community foundations that result in economies of operations and growth in
assets.

For good. For ever...

Products from the first phase of the Venture
Products Fund, such as the PowerPoint
presentation, What is a Community Foundation?,
and the tag line For Good. For Ever., are now
being used by community foundations throughout
the United States. The work of the Venture
Products Fund is being continued in 2001 and
2002 as the Community Foundation Research and
Development Incubator, overseen by a national
advisory committee including Michigan community
foundations.
Working together, community foundations in
Michigan are proving that "it's about leveraging
our collective strength to benefit each community
foundation."

A decade of compassion. A new era of hope.
Since it was formed by a group of grantmakers
in 1989, the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) has
distributed more than $6 million from 100 plus
grantmakers in funding and resources to block
the spread of HIV/AIDS in Michigan. It has
supported programs with demonstrable success
such as peer education, outreach to runaways,
homeless and incarcerated youth, and testing
and counseling for women.
MAF exceeded its fundraising goal for the year
and awarded grants totaling $614,297 to 21
organizations located throughout the state.
Four examples of these grants are:

•
•
•

•

$8,400 to Community AIDS Benefit Services
in Kalamazoo
$10,000 to the Keweenaw Bay Indian
Community in Baraga
$16,000 to Alternatives for Girls in Detroit
$17,000 to .Wellness Networks- Grand
Traverse Area in Traverse City

Mission:
To help reduce the spread and alleviate the
suffering caused by HIV/AIDS by serving as an
intermediary support organization between
philanthropy and HIV/AIDS organizations and
those affected by the epidemic in Michigan.

As a result of a Strategic Planning process, the
Board of MAF determined that it was time for the
organization to become fully independent with
its own Executive Director after ten years of
nurturing from the Greystone Group in Grand
Rapids. After a search process, Glen Jack
started on January 1 as Executive Director, and
he opened MAF's new office in Southfield in May.
The Board has appointed Jim Heynen, President
of the Greystone Group, to a vacant seat.
The work of the Michigan AIDS Fund continues
because: there are at least 1,100 new infections
every year in our state; nearly 6,000 residents
have died from AIDS, at least 13,000 neighbors
and friends are living with the disease in Michigan.

�Embracing Our Future through

The William W. Allen Fund
The Fund honors the lifetime work
of William W. Allen, founder of the
Allen Foundation, and a long-time
trustee of CMF . Since its
establishment in 1989 (as CMF's
first endowed fund), it has helped
to further CMF's government
relations work on federal and
state legislative and regulatory
matters.

Established by Ruth and Russell
Mawby in 1996, the Fund assists
CMF in strengthening the involvement of youth in philanthropy. A
primary use of the Fund's income is
for summer college internships for
the alumni of community foundation
youth advisory committees.

The CMF board established this
Fund in 1994 to honor Dr. Mawby's
significant contributions to Michigan
philanthropy. It provides seed
funding for new collabo ratives, such
as the Learning to Give project, and
for developing and publish ing special
publications.

12

Established in 1999 to honor CMF's
President Emeritus, the Fund
supports the nationally recognized
speakers for CMF's annual
conference and for special training
events promoting principles and
best practices.

Established by the Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth
Project Board in 1995 and
transferred to CMF in 1999, the
Fund supports special technical
assistance activities for
community foundations .

�Treasurer's Report
Year Ended March 31, 2001
The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), an association of foundations and corporations making
grants for charitable purposes, was incorporated in 1975 to enhance, increase and improve philanthropy
in Michigan (see descriptions of these projects earlier in this report).
The primary purpose of CMF is meeting the ever changing needs of its diverse membership through its
core services, which are primarily funded by three sources of income (see related charts for revenue
sources and major core services expenditures).
In addition to the core services, CMF has been fortunate to be able to take advantage of special project
opportunities to benefit its members. Of particular note
this past year is the Tobacco Settlement grant from the
State of Michigan which has resulted in the distribution
of $12,603,037 to Michigan community foundations to
promote programs for healthy youth and healthy seniors.
Thanks to the tremendous support of its members, CMF
has also been able to react to special opportunities,
through the establishment of five endowment funds
totaling $9,134,557.

Specific membership needs led to the establishment of
two supporting organizations, the Michigan Community
Foundations' Ventures (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS
Fund (MAF). MAF was formed to meet philanthropy's
response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Michigan . The
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project was
renamed the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures in 1999 with the purpose to support the joint
program efforts of community foundations in the State
of Michigan.

Minimum Standards for Michigan Community Foundations
The community foundations of Michigan recognize that we live in an age in which professions and fields of
work are expected to have and to follow standards that promote both accountability and the highest ethical
behavior by all parties . Recent incidents in the operations of national and regional nonprofit and
philanthropic organizations have pointed out the need for standards in the nonprofit sector. In addition,
advisors to the wealthy - lawyers, accountants, financial planners, etc. - who are vital partners in the
continued growth of the community foundation field , are all professions with standards .
Because we recognize our responsibility to our donors and our communities to have the best possible
philanthropic organizations to respond to the wishes of donors and the needs of communities, the community
foundations of Michigan have developed minimum standards for our field in Michigan. We believe that the
following minimum standards will help assure donors and their advisors of consistent performance in the
operations of all community foundations in Michigan and contribute to the success of any joint marketing
and donor development efforts - both statewide and regionally. These minimum standards are proposed in
addition to the requirements of state and federal law and are supported by the Community Foundations
Principles and Best Practices adopted by the Community Foundations Committee of the Council of
Michigan Foundations . In addition they have been designed to complement the development of national
standards by the Community Foundations Leadership Team of the Council on Foundations and it is the
expectation that Michigan community foundations will also strive to meet national standards adopted by the
Council on Foundations.
Evidence of the implementation ofthese minimum standards has been adopted as a requirement for
participation in Michigan Community Foundation Ventures (MCFV), a supporting organization of the
Council of Michigan Foundations. The purpose of MCFV is to support special collaborative initiatives of
community foundations in Michigan which will contribute to increased asset development, proactive
grantmaking and community leadership. It is the hope of the Board of Trustees of MCFV that every
community foundation will strive to implement these standards and seek assistance from the Council of
Michigan Foundations in doing so.
Community foundations with geographic affiliate funds should consult the attached document, "Subset of
Minimum Standards for Michigan Community Foundations with Geographic Affiliate Funds," for the
standards that apply specifically to those funds.
Governance:
The community foundation must:
Incorporate the words "community foundation" in the organization's public name.
Operate with a board approved mission statement, including language that addresses the growth of
"permanent endowment" funds from a wide range of donors.
Adopt conflict of interest policies for board, staff and volunteers that cover all aspects of foundation
management.
Include in its bylaws and communicate to potential donors the community foundation governing
body' s variance power by which it may modify any restriction or condition on the distribution of
assets.

17

�Administration &amp; Finance:

The community foundation must:
Develop an asset base in which the total investment return for permanently endowed funds is
sufficient to support the basic operations of the foundation with:
o

Annual community grants (including scholarships, program related investments, special
projects, etc.) exceeding administrative expenses within 5 years of the start of the
Foundation.

o

Employment of at least one-half FTE paid staff.

Operate with an asset management program that includes :
o

Gift acceptance policies,

o

Criteria for establishing funds and fund agreements,

o

Investment policies, including asset allocation policies and a spending policy based on no
fewer than eight trailing quarters

Complete an annual audit by an outside independent public accountant. Qualified opinions may be
acceptable for this standard as determined on a case by case basis.
Asset Development:
The community foundation must:
Implement a three-year asset development plan that includes planned giving and outreach to
financial advisors, prospective and current donors, with progress monitored annually by the
Community Foundation Board.
Adopt and implement donor services guidelines and brochures (including a statement of the
community foundation governing board's variance power) that are communicated to donors and
publicize a statement of donor rights and responsibilities.
Grantmaking:

The community foundation must:
Establish ongoing grantmaking guidelines, including foundation priorities, application process and
reporting requirements.
Convenor &amp; Leader

The community foundation must:
Implement and document strategies, consistent with the community foundation's mission, to play a
role as a collaborator/convenor in developing solutions to important community issues

18

�Communications
The community foundation must:
Practice full disclosure about the foundation's mission, activities (including grantmaking and
finances) through communications tools, such as an annual report, newsletter and web site.

Subset of Minimum Standards for Michigan Community Foundations
with Geographic Affiliate Funds
Lead community foundations are responsible for the following standards for their geographic affiliate funds.
The guidelines and policies of geographic affiliate funds do not have to be uniform with the lead foundation,
as long as they are approved by the lead foundation.
The minimum standards for geographic affiliate funds are:

Governance:
All geographic affiliate fund committee members are considered volunteers of the lead foundation and shall
fall under the conflict of interest policy covering all aspects of foundation management.

Administration &amp; Finance:
Geographic affiliate fund(s) shall operate under the lead foundation ' s asset management program and shall
abide by the lead foundation's gift acceptance policies and criteria for establishing funds and fund
agreements.

Asset Development:
The lead foundation's three-year asset development plan shall address the asset development plan for the
geographic affiliate fund(s).
Geographic affiliate fund(s) shall operate under the lead foundation ' s donor service guidelines and
communications with donors shall include a statement of the community foundation governing board's
variance power.

Grantmaking:
The lead foundation's grantmaking guidelines shall address the grantmaking activities of the geographic
affiliate fund( s ).

Communications:
The lead foundation's communication tools (such as an annual report, newsletter and web site) shall include
the activities of the geographic affiliate fund(s), or the lead foundation will produce separate communications
addressing the activities of the geographic affiliate fund(s).

�Grants That Make a Difference
The following are summaries of 1999 grants submitted by community foundations for their
community impact. (These grants are updated in the Fall of each year. Grant information for 2000
will be available in November of2001.)
Allegan County Community Foundation
Two grants have had a significant impact upon the community. One was a grant to purchase a
computer for each of twelve Allegan County libraries for community use. The second grant funded
for a shelter to provide in-house counseling for survivors of domestic violence.
Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County received a grant for their Money Management
Payeeship Program to set up a money management payee for the persistently homeless who are on
SSI or SSDI, in order to move them into long-term housing and free up beds for emergency
overnight shelter. Another grant was to the Washtenaw Intermediate School District's School to
Youth Learningfor Unserved Students and Education Project for Homeless Youth in order to hire a
volunteer coordinator to be shared by the STYLUS and EPHY programs in an effort to provide
services to a larger number of students.
Barry Community Foundation
See Proactive Youth Grants.
Bay Area Community Foundation
Twenty students from the alternative high school attended art classes at a new local facility, Studio
23. They were bussed 3 days a week to participate in classed for working in clay. Art is a perfect
conduit for these young people because it takes discipline plus creativity. It provided a vehicle for
expressing their emotions.
Berrien Community Foundation
Capstone Center received a grant to support the Zero to Three, a child abuse prevention program.
The family of each child born in Berrien County is assessed for risk factors of child abuse.
Depending on the outcome, assistance in the form of parenting training and in-home mentoring is
provided. A grant to Bark River Harris High School for band uniforms also had a big impact. The
band had never had uniforms before and it has instilled a sense or purpose and pride in those young
people.
Cadillac Area Community Foundation
Funded a Greenway Project along the Clam River.
Charlevoix County Community Foundation
The City of East Jordan was awarded a grant from the Michigan Clean Initiative Bond Fund to
develop a 40-acre parcel of wooded property into a major, multi-use recreational facility. The
Community Foundation provided a grant to the City for a significant portion of the local match that
was necessary to secure the award from the State. In addition, the Foundation helped leverage
widespread financial support from other local organizations. Name "Community Park", the new
facility will have outdoor, year-round activity areas.
24

�Community Foundation for Delta County
The Downtown Development Authority-Historical Mural Project has added beauty of art to
downtown Escanaba. It has added history and education to the downtown area, and displays the
pride of our heritage to citizens and visitors of our community.
Four County Community Foundation
Two grants for the Romeo Community Schools-Enterprise High School had come under this
category. The first, for a Transitions Program, provides tools for students to enter school after
official start dates. The second, Building Futures, is an on-site nursery for students of Enterprise
High. Grant funds were used to purchase equipment and provide students with parenting support.
Community Foundation of Greater Flint
Summer youth grants provide positive experiences for thousands of youth, while Block and
Neighborhood grants develop social capital in the community. A grant to UM-Flint Reading Center
supports literacy development.
Fremont Area Community Foundation
A grant to Brooks Township for their environmental conservation plan. This strategic model
includes the community and has been a great success, particularly regarding the Muskegon River
Watershed. This grant is on of the first forays into environmental grantmaking for the Foundation.
Also, a grant for construction and operational support for the new Arts Center for Newaygo County
will have a definite impact in the future.
Grand Haven Area Community Foundation
An award to the North Ottawa County Community Leadership Academy to provide scholarships for
qualified candidates to participate in the 1999/2000 training has had a big impact. The leadership
academy prepares future leaders to serve throughout the Northwest Ottawa County region. Over 250
area leaders have graduated from the academy in its thirteen-year history.
Grand Rapids Community Foundation
There are three grants that have had that have had a great impact on the community. "Select Grand
Rapids Employer Assisted Housing Program" is a joint effort between the area Chamber of
Commerce, the City, The Right Place and a "walk to work task force", formed to work with
employers who are interested in helping their employees purchase a home. "Something Fishy" is a
broad-based collaborative effort in which local artists and children worked together to create fish
works of art that were placed throughout the area. This project engaged citizens of all ages,
ethnicities and economic backgrounds in celebrating the community, diversity and connections. The
Grand Rapids Community College Technical Education Center will offer technologically advanced
training, and will be located within walking distance of the lowest income neighborhoods, offering
affordable and accessible training in field that command a living wage, or higher.
Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation
The new agency funds, some started with grants from other funds, could double their spendable
income and have a long-term impact. In the short-term, the Foundation supports dental services to
youth, prescriptions for seniors and family practice education.

Gratiot County Community Foundation
Ashley, a small community in our county, received a grant to help fund the Character Counts
program. Though the grant targeted students in grades 7-12, the whole community participated in
the program. It was gratifying to see a program for kids that was supported by the entire community.
The six pillars of good character are known and understood by students, parents, grandparents and
townspeople. From our Children's Fund, an award was divided among 7 elementary schools to buy
items that are basic humanitarian needs for children who are not having these needs met otherwise.
The intent is that children learn better when their needs are being met, and the schools were thrilled
to have funds which would allow them to provide for their students.
Hillsdale County Community Foundation
In 1998, the Foundation recruited a volunteer director to organize a Volunteer Center and made a
grant for start-up expenses, with additional funding in 1999. The Volunteer Center is now almost
self-sufficient and is helping to locate volunteers and resources for area nonprofits. This project has
been a proactive effort to start and help a new nonprofit agency reach self-sufficiency.
The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area
Three grants had a great impact on the community and were all part of collaborative projects. The
first was to Macatawa Resource Center for a food pantry and human services organization under one
roof. The second grant was to Zeeland Wetland Pavilion for a pavilion area and greenspace
environment to be used by area schools and communities. The third grant was to Communities That
Care Youth Conference which involved Y AE:e-rs to address needs and issues of youth under age 21.
Huron County Community Foundation
An important grant to our community was to the Sebewaing Recreation Club to help construct a
playscape. This project was completed through the efforts of over 200 local citizen volunteers in the
town of Sebewaing.
Jackson Community Foundation
As part of its commitment to Jackson County's Promise to Youth, The Jackson County Community
Foundation will award a total of$325,000 from the Jackson County ISD over the next four years to
support The Early Literacy in Jackson County Program. The Community Foundation will invest
$100,000 in year one and $75,000 per year for the following three years.
Kalamazoo Community Foundation
A few of the grants that had an impact on the community include the Ministry with Community
Award to the only daytime homeless shelter in the community. The grant is for capital expenses that
will include building improvements and facility expansion. The Local Initiatives Support Coalition
received a grant for Northside economic development activities, and the Kalamazoo Neighborhood
Housing Services was given a grant to cover a portion of the direct project expenses for Building
Blocks, a coalition of community agencies, institutions and citizens working together to revitalize
neighborhoods.

26

�Mackinac Island Community Foundation
Several grants have had an impact on the uniqueness of Island living. The Mackinac Island Housing
Corporation was set up to construct affordable housing for year-round residents of Mackinac. The
Community Foundation awarded a grant to the Housing Corporation for the completion of the first
set of homes. The Foundation also awarded a grant to a local group to conduct English as a Second
Language Classes throughout the summer for workers who come from all over the world to support
the Island's tourist industry. In addition, two grants from environmental funds were awarded to help
protect the Island.
Manistee County Community Foundation
The Foundation worked with the public radio station in developing five 10-minute segments that
highlighted community services and collaborations in the county.
Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
This was the second year in a three-year initiative to bring emergency preparedness to the Buchanan
community through the public safety mission of the Unity Hospital Fund. This year the plan
included the purchase of three defibrillators and officer training for each local police car to give
immediate assistance, and the purchase of a new Jaws of Life for a local fire department to more
successfully extricate accident victims. Next year, computer community mapping for emergency
services and hazardous materials identification will be addressed.
Midland Area Community Foundation
There were two projects with which the Foundation participated which had a significant impact on
the community. First was the Central Auditorium "Restore the Dream" project. An art deco
auditorium was restored and rededicated and is now used by all students within the Midland Public
Schools as well as a number of community groups and nonprofit organizations. The second project
was Trilogy Skate Park. It is the most highly used park in Midland and provides a safe haven for
skateboard and inline skating enthusiasts, and is a model that is being replicated around the state and
the nation.
Community Foundation of Monroe County
The most significant grant was to support the furnishing of a new library branch. The renovation of
the library was broadly supported by the community, and the grant was significant because it came
from four different funds and encouraged local co-action.
Community Foundation for Muskegon County
In 1999, the Foundation gave a $1.1 million grant to Grand Valley State University to support the
Lake Michigan Center for Freshwater Research on the Muskegon Shoreline. The Lake Michigan
Center will house classroom, laboratory, office and conference facilities. It will also be the
permanent home of the WG. Jackson, GVSU's research vessel. GVSU's goal is to create a scientific
research center on a par with Woods Hold and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the premier
research facilities on the United States' east and west coasts.

27

�Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
A grant to Hospice of Michigan for their Telehospice Program has had, and will continue to have,
great impact. The project will study the use of interactive video technology as part of the care
program. Hospice teams will be able to consult with families face-to-face, assess the situation and
respond more quickly than if they had to drive to the location.

~I

Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
A grant to the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council provided funding for the initial stages of "Healing
the Bear", a Bear River rehabilitation program. A grant to the Emmet Hockey Association helped to
establish an indoor ice hockey arena for the Emmet County area.
Community Foundation of Greater Rochester
Two great initiatives illustrate our commitment to donor services. The John Elliott Fund was
established by Mr. Elliott to support a local 24-hour cancer hotline so that patients do not feel so
frightened and isolated. Mr. Wallace, a quadriplegic, established a fund to aid research in spinal
cord injuries. Both funds address the donors' charitable goals and impact our community and
beyond.
Sault Area Community Foundation
The grant given to the Munuscong River Watershed Project to increase environmental and outdoor
learning experiences in our community schoots had the most impact. We were also able to leverage
this grant with funds from the Michigan Community Service Commission Learn and Serve grant.
Students and adults alike participated in water quality testing and clean-up of sites along the river.
Sturgis Area Community Foundation
Grants for local initiatives to combat drug and alcohol abuse in our community had a great impact, as
did a grant to help fund a new organization to help integrate our growing and diverse population and
an award to support the revitalization of deteriorating homes and neighborhoods.

28

�Leadership Role of Community Foundations
The following are summaries of 1999 leadership activities submitted by Community Foundations.
Allegan County Community Foundation
The implementation of an education program for middle school students on issues impacting their
lives-substance use, pregnancy, self-esteem building, etc. is one of our convening roles.
Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
The Foundation has served as a member and then Chair of the Washtenaw County Continuum of
Care Board.
Barry Community Foundation
The Foundation applied for and received a grant from the Coalition of Community Foundations for
Youth. The purpose of the grant is to perform a needs assessment/asset map of the Youth Programs
and services for Barry County. We have involved businesses, nonprofits, religious organizations and
the youth community in this project and know that we will be able to create a plan to make a
difference in the way youth programs are viewed and created.
Bay Area Community Foundation
Our Environment Committee convened many partners and leveraged funding to develop Measures of
Success, a process for getting the Saginaw Bay Watershed unlisted as an environmental Area of
Concern. Grants from several funders were pursued by the Foundation. While the Foundation itself
did not fund this project, it brought together the financial resources that were needed.
Cadillac Area Community Foundation
Worked with organizers of the Greenway Project to assist development and funding .
Charlevoix County Community Foundation
Two cities in our county were awarded grants from an out-of-state foundation for building and
upgrading library facilities complete with all technological enhancements. The Foundation served as
the local conduit through vyhich all funds were routed to pay construction vendors and provide
accounting for the project.
Community Foundation of Delta County
One impact has been taking a lead role in bringing together a business/industry/educational group
called the Delta County Partners in Education. The purpose is to build bridges between Partners and
the Community and to provide strong, general support to the education process involving the youth
of Delta County.
Dickinson County Community Foundation
The Foundation has played a significant role in the development and expansion of the Dickinson
County Resource Center, of which we have been fiduciary for the past 3 years. In addition, the YAC
has not only grown in membership but has gained recognition and visibility in the community
through their grantmaking and community involvement.

29

�Community Foundation of Greater Flint
Leadership roles included convening the community to develop strategies to address and reduce
racism, and helping to convene and participate in initial planning around strategies to improve public
education.
Four County Community Foundation
Our new Healthy Seniors/Healthy Youth Fund has prompted us to create a Senior Citizen
Information Group which is meeting twice a year to exchange ideas, area needs and interest in
collaborative efforts.
Fremont Area Community Foundation
The Foundation was instrumental in bringing communities together to develop after-school programs
in each of the five school districts in Newaygo County. The programs provide tutoring as well as
emichment programs for students. Parents and community members volunteer in the programs. In
addition, in 1998 the Foundation established an endowment for each nonprofit in the county. We
continue to provide technical assistance for these organizations and late in 1999 began a series of
programs covering topics such as fundraising and board development, through satellite downlinks at
our offices.
Grand Haven Area Community Foundation
The grant mentioned in previous section, as well as other grants made by the Foundation, attest to its
position in taking a leadership role in our community by acting as a convener for community
discussions, a catalyst for needed change and developing community leaders.
Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation
The Foundation has played a leadership role in working with the Chamber of Commerce and area
communities on environmental and land use issues; developing positive youth assets, which are
established in cultural and recreational areas; and developing resources for nonprofit fund raising
education.
Gratiot County Community Foundation
Our Foundation is highly involved in Community Planning for the Future. The Executive Director
and many Foundation Board members play an active role in the Gratiot County Strategic Plan
committee. This is a very active and encompassing group, which for several years has studied the
needs of our county and has established countywide goals to meet those needs. The committee is
also instrumental in instituting the plan to allow those things to happen. Developing Community
Leaders is another program. It is amazing that a county of under 40,000 people can have 125 youth
who take part in YAC activities.
Hillsdale County Community Foundation
The Foundation is taking a leadership role in spearheading a drive to raise $1.7 million to purchase
and renovate a 23,000 square foot office building, which will be used by our major nonprofit
organizations.

30

�Huron County Community Foundation
Two trustees and the Executive Director of the Foundation Board took an active role as members of
the Huron County Multi-Purpose Collaborative Body in the project development of a Rural Health
Initiative Grant the Huron County received from the Michigan Department of Community Health.
This is a fifteen-month grant that addresses substance abuses and low-income farm families to
increase their health through increased participation in county human services.
Jackson Community Foundation
The Foundation played a leadership role in several areas. One was to lead the community-wide
Jackson County's Promise to Youth Initiative. Retired General Colin Powell was brought to town to
help kick off the effort. In addition, the Foundation led the effort to explore neighborhood
revitalization by leveraging home ownership-based on the Neighborhoods, Inc. model in Battle
Creek.
Kalamazoo Community Foundation
The Kalamazoo Community Foundation launched an extensive planning process to reassess our CLL
priorities. Working with our community partners in the nonprofit sector, government and
neighborhood, we identified Individuals and Families, Education and Learning, Economic
Development, Community Engagement and Youth Development as priorities for the community. As
a result of our realignment of priorities we hosted a community 1st Annual Meeting with 750 people
in attendance to explore social capital. Social capital is defined as the features of social organization
that facilitate coordination and cooperation for mutual benefit.

-

Leelanau Township Foundation
The Foundation is presently working to get affordable housing in this high property tax area. Local
families , which grow up here, cannot afford to stay due to high property values. We would like to
find a way to keep our young families here.
Mackinac Island Community Foundation
Mackinac Island has unique problems associated with island living, including sustaining a viable,
year-round community. As the year-round population declines, it becomes more difficult to support
a school, churches, etc. Next to the lack of affordable housing, the most common reason that young
families cite for leaving the Island is lack of childcare. With our advisory committee for Healthy
Youth and Seniors, the Foundation has taken a leadership role in developing a child care facility on
the Island. It is hoped that providing access to such care will eliminate one obstacle to daily life on
the Island.
Marshall Community Foundation
The Foundation continually promotes caring for the community. We are dedicated to serving the
community, and we are proud of the role we have played in making the quality oflife in and around
Marshall even better.
Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
As the result of an incentive built into a new fund for the Buchanan Public Library, the Foundation
served as an initiator and hub for meetings and services to explore the issue of developing a district
library to serve contiguous communities identified by the school district. As a result of this
initiative, and through the vision and determination of the Foundation's Chair, the library has been
identified as a district library and a milage election will be set to purchase a building and make the
library an independent entity better able to offer modern patron services.
31

�Midland Area Community Foundation
The Foundation led the County in community planning for the future. Through the use of interviews
with community leaders, focus groups, a newspaper survey, and a random sample telephone survey
we determined what residents feel are our assets, liabilities and needs for the future. Other area
foundations, governmental units and nonprofit organizations are also using the compiled data.
Through the Foundation's newsletter, we are continuing to update the community regarding progress
in certain areas, and we will be using the data to develop a moreproactive grantmaking process.
Community Foundation of Monroe County
In the late summer of 1999, a builder, excavating a building site, uncovered an historical cemetery.
The Trustees of the Foundation stepped in to mediate the ensuing furor, and successfully persuades
all parties to lay aside the question of blame and work toward a resolution. The Foundation then
convened a public meeting to form a grass roots committee to investigate and recommend a solution.
Thousands of hours of time were donated in order to determine the perimeter of the cemetery, and
three lots were bought back from the builder to preserve the site. The Special Projects Fund for the
Friends of St. Antoine has been established in the Foundation. A memorial was dedicated on
November 28, 2000.
Community Foundation for Muskegon County
The Foundation continued its involvement with the Great Lakes Environmental Collaborative to
build on earlier efforts to expand the role of community foundations in promoting community
capacity to address environmental issues. Pha~e II ofthe Collaborative included assistance and
incentives for environmental organizations to establish an organizational endowment fund within the
Community Foundation. Four new funds were established, each with a matching grant from the
Great Lakes Environmental Collaborative.
Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
We are becoming known as "the" organization in Northeast Michigan to bring interested parties
together on community issues, through our Community Leaders Luncheons and Community Forums
on environmental issues.
Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
We co-chaired Leadership Little Traverse, a leadership training program to inspire participation in
community leadership roles. We also acted as a conduit for donors to purchase valuable property
and develop it into a community park. The land was eventually gifted to the city to hold/own.
Community Foundation for Greater Rochester
The Foundation is providing technical support to nonprofits through several different community
projects. We have acted as the fiscal agent and convener for two public park projects; assisted
Dinosaur Hill Nature Center in fundraising activities and fund distribution; partnered with the City
of Rochester Hills and residents of southeastern Michigan for the Mike Walden Velodrome; and, in
the winter of 2000, began working with the Rochester Hills Museum on a capital campaign. The
Foundation has become a logical choice for community development and technical assistance to
nonprofits based on years of successful partnerships.

32

�Sault Area Community Foundation
We have leveraged funds to meet community needs. With our grant to a local playground project
other community members were inspired to donate funds. We also provided financial management
for the project at no charge to the community. Our involvement in this project has not only been
good for the community but also for the Foundation, as it has led to a new endowed fund. The
project was a true reflection of community leadership.
Sturgis Area Community Foundation
One of our leadership roles has been undertaking the construction project for a 20-acre youth soccer
park in the city.
Upper Peninsula Community Foundation Alliance
In the Les Cheneaux community (Cedarville), our affiliate has been the catalyst in the creation of a
community library and cultural 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 (Y AC). It is helpful to review these annually as part of a self-audit process. The role of
the YAC 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 of the community
foundation.
2. TheY AC meets a minimum of six times a year.
3. YAC membership of at least 7 youth is representative ofthe 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 "fund raising" activities.
8. TheY AC 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. Y AC members should participate in available leadership training opportunities.
10. A process to evaluate its activities, including the effectiveness of grants.
11. Y AC members have an opportunity to meet annually with members of the Board of Trustees of the
community foundation. When appropriate, Y AC 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 YAC
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 the
YAC.
14. The YAC may review youth-related proposals that are submitted to the community foundation atlarge. As experienced grantmakers, Y AC members can provide valuable insights into the value of
projects serving youth.

�EXAMPLES OF
PROACTIVE AND CREATIVE GRANTS MADE BY
YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEES
Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
The grant to the Ann Arbor Teen Center (Neutral Zone) had significant impact for three reasons.
First, the grant was matched 2:1 with a $50,000 gift from an individual donor. Second, the Neutral
Zone was able to grow in its second year of operations as a result of theY AC grant. Third, the
Neutral Zone provides a focal point for youth development and community involvement through its
Youth Advisory Committee, new and ongoing programs, and mission.
Barry Community Foundation
The Youth Advisory Council created a mini-grant program to include and educate youth about
grants. The Student Senate of3'ct, 4th and 5th graders from an area elementary school decided to take
advantage of this and completed a needs assessment oftheir community (school). They found that
an outdoor thermometer would help with Science classes and outdoor clocks would benefit their
community. Teachers, students, and parents associated with the school learned the importance of
grant writing and philanthropy.
Bay Area Community Foundation
A grant awarded to the Boys and Girls Club had a significant impact on our community. This grant
was earmarked to help fund the construction of a Club Unit in an area that has a large number of atrisk youth, and no structure in place to provi-de- healthy, positive, and safe recreation for the youth.
This was seen as a very worthwhile project in our community, and the involvement of our Youth
Initiative was seen as a natural fit.
Branch County Community Foundation
"Bronson's Backyard" , a community-built playground and "Books for Everyone" , a program where
local elementary children from low-income families, were able to visit a bookstore and choose a
book to own are two examples of our proactive grantmaking.
Cadillac Area Community Foundation
A grant for First Night of Cadillac brought hundreds of people together for a community celebration.
Charlevoix County Community Foundation
The YAC has identified the scarcity of recreational activities and facilities in Northern Michigan as a
priority for grant making. In the past four years, five grants have been given to the Top of Michigan
Trails to help support the development of more than 180 miles of multi-use recreational trails. The
main purpose is to provide area residents and visitors with safer, off-road access to many outdoor
amenities.
Community Foundation of Delta County
The Delta County Women's Fastpitch Clinic gave importance and created an even greater interest for
girls to actively participate in softball by giving equal importance to girls' softball as to boys'
softball. This program is countywide and provides the opportunity for young women to participate.

Community Foundation of Greater Flint
A grant to Area Students Against Prejudice (ASAP) for a Youth Summit to establish ASAP Clubs
throughout the community is one our proactive youth grants. As a result of this summit, ASAP
Clubs have been founded in each of the Flint Area Middle Schools as part of the After School
Programs run by the 21 51 Century Learning Centers. Task force members also developed a
curriculum for this program.
Fremont Area Community Foundation
One of our proactive grants was to Newaygo Public Schools for their Youth-to-Youth Mentoring
program, which provides funds for high school students to tutor and mentor elementary school
students. This program has improved the self-esteem of both high school and elementary school
students.
Grand Rapids Community Foundation
Members of a sixth-grade service learning class at Cedar Springs Middle School missed a school
dance, but they earned $7,000 toward a program that will provide themselves and their classmates
after-school activities for years to come. Following a needs assessment of their peers, which
determined that students had few opportunities for structured activities after school, they approached
the Cedar Springs Parks and Recreation Department to develop a plan to respond to the issue. A
grant proposal to fund the plan activities was submitted to the YAC , which approved it. Additional
matching funds may be made available through Cedar Springs Community Education.
Gratiot County Community Foundation
Blast from the Past, Blast to the Future, a project done by a 6111 grade class and a senior citizens
group, had an impact on our community because of the recognition received by the sixth grade
teacher. The class was completing a Celebrate the Century project and wanted to learn firsthand
about things in the 1900s. The students installed an extra phone line in the Senior Building and
taught the adults about the Internet. The teacher received a state award for the project.
Hillsdale County Community Foundation
Probably the greatest impact on the Hillsdale County area will be the formation of a Big
Brothers/Big Sisters organization. The request for this organization came from a group of very
active citizens recognizing a long unmet need. Collaborative effort was developed with the public
schools and the after school program "Lasting Impact". The BB/BS organization in Jackson is
extending its program to embrace the Hillsdale County effort. It has the potential for serving many
young people in this county for years to come.
The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area
A collaborative effort by area nonprofits serving human service needs. The building is on the
northside of Holland that has a very diverse population and many needs were previously unmet. The
facility will serve many of those needs.
Jackson County Community Foundation
The grant for the Asset Assessment Survey (lSD.) The Foundation's grantmaking has been driven
by the results of this survey. Results were very much in line with Jackson's Promise to Youth, our
YAC made a 3-year commitment to fund projects which could meet one or more of the 5 Promises,
as put forth by Colin Powell.

�Kalamazoo Community Foundation
There are so many ways to answer this one! We give grants that provide summer programs for
Lakeside Residence; to the YMCA working with the Kalamazoo Juvenile Drug Court, which may
have a greater long-term impact; and to the Ministry with Community, as sole supporter of a
program to buy birth certificates needed for school and health care. The real answer is that theY AC
fills cracks and gives crucial support in many small ways. We haven't looked to make few large
impacts with dollars, preferring to fund small pockets of great need in organizations that use their
money wisely.
Leelanau Township Community Foundation
Because 1999 was the community's sesquicentennial year, Y AC gave grants to help the celebration
be a success. One was to show what youth wore in 1849, and the other grant was to help with the
presentation of a local playwright on the history of the area.
Mackinac Island Community Foundation
Although it was not a large grant, the YAC awarded a grant to create special stuffed bears to be
given to young children who need to visit the Island Medical Center. The Medical Center worked
with the YAC to find the bears and create the program, and together they worked with younger
children to create special tags for each bear to wear. The Medical Center received such positive
feedback from the children and the parents that the program had been continued.
Manistee Count)' Community Foundation
Our YAC helped to sponsor Earth Save 2000, a one-day workshop for Manistee and Benzie County
T" and gt" graders. The day was filled with informative and fun activities about saving the
environment. Music tours, eating with completely recyclable dinnerware, youth panels and exhibits
all added to the success of the conference.
Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
The most effective grant was a collaboration with Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Berrien and Cass
Counties and the Cass County Youth Committee. It combined distribution of the YAC needs
assessment with a survey for the Youth Committee asking for after-school resources offered through
private, public and nonprofit services. The Youth Committee distributed the materials and BB/BS
was given an administrative stipend to develop a common mailing list and a resource database. The
Y AC then compiled the needs assessment information, which generated considerable interest from
human service providers regarding the development of health services and drug awareness programs
in schools.
Midland Area Community Foundation
The YAC recently initiated a minigrant program for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. It
has been rewarding and fun to see these requests and grant money to fund their projects.
Community Foundation of Monroe County
A small grant to the 4-H Club was a good learning experience. As part of a community service
project, the Club applied for a grant to help acquire new Christmas tree trimmings. The YAC didn't
think it would be true community service if they paid for the entire amount, so they offered a 1:1
match. The Club worked hard to get the money and the YAC received credit for the new trimmings.

�Community Foundation for Muskegon County
In 1999, the City of Muskegon and a group of local teens teamed together to create a skatepark in
Seyferth Park in Muskegon. The City felt that it would be helpful for skateboarders to have their
own park, as it would be safer for them to stay in one area and help preserve other parks. To help
teens with fundraising, YAC offered a 1:1 matching grant up to $10,000. In June 1999, the park
opened boasting a series of ramps, several quarter and half pipes, pyramids, etc. on which people can
skateboard, bike and in-line skate.
Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
The YAC recommended a grant for the Alpena Skateboard Park project, a collaborative effort. Area
youth and adults worked hard to develop a safe place for skateboarders to practice their sport. This
grant reinforced the positive image ofthe YAC and the Community Foundation through the
collaborative aspects required for the successful completion of the project.
Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
A grant to Littlefield Public Schools to provide after school activities during the summer months to
middle school aged children is one example of our proactive youth grantmaking.
Community Foundation of Greater Rochester
In light of recent examples of violence in schools, our Youth Committeee focused on the issue of
violence in a number of grants. They funded several grants that provided either peer mediation
training, a teen rate workshop, or family violence prevention. All of these grants had the common
element of training that was then disseminated t o other students. This training was provided to both
high schools and all middle schools.
Sault Area Community Foundation
The grants made to the Chippewa County Health Department for bicycle helmets have made an
impact on the community. The safety issues of riding bikes without helmets has been addressed and
now we are seeing more youth wearing helmets because of the fun approach the program took.
Wearing helmets was promoted as the cool thing to do, and parents were also given helmets so they
could act as role models.
Sturgis Area Community Foundation
The grant with the most impact was to the Youth for Christ Center for after school programming.
These programs are to give students a place to go with positive things to do, instead of nothing to do
and getting into trouble.

Comerica Park, one of the newest state-of-the-art ballparks in the major leagues, is the home of the Detroit
Tigers. Built in 2000, it is a ballpark that was constructed with the fans in mind, from the line of sight of
the field to the baseball Ferris wheel and carousel with

press box, the visitors' clubhouse, and dugout.
Ford Field, the Detroit Lions' new home currently
under construction, will be a one-of-a-kind facility that

Skyline and the old Hudson's Warehouse. The Field,
designed to accommodate other sports and entertainment venues, will have 65,000 permanent seats for

private suites, a domed-roof structure and the ability to
accommodate a natural grass field.

Historic Rouge Auto Plant and its Renewal
(8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.)
Rouge Auto Plant: Don't miss this one of a kind
opportunity - tour Ford Motor Company's historic
Rouge Center. Commissioned by Henry Ford in 1917,
the complex was designed by Detroit architect, Albert
Kahn. During World War I, Ford Motor Company
built submarine chasers at the Rouge and by the mid1920's the complex was the largest manufacturing center in the world. The first automobile to be completely
assembled here, the Model A, was introduced in 192 7.
In order to move the center into the 21st century, the
Ford Rouge Center will undergo major redevelopment,
laying the groundwork for sustainable manufacturing
at one of the world's largest and oldest industrial icons.
The plan includes numerous pilots of advanced environmental concepts and a new assembly plant with the
nation's largest ecologically inspired living roof. The
plant also will have world-class flexibility with assembly lines capable of handling three vehicle platforms
and nine different models.
This tour is limited to 30 persons. Reservations are on
a first-come, first-serve basis.
Leader: Monica Martinez, contributions program associate, Ford Motor Company Fund

Indian Village Home Tour: Take a peek into the lives of
Detroit's old wealth with a tour of Indian Village and several of its historic homes. Indian Village had its beginnings in 1893 when the heirs of landowner, Abraham
Cook, (1774-1847) formed the Cook Farm Company
Limited, whose stated goal was to develop a "first class
residential district on a generous scale." The Village has
351 homes, six churches, and two schools built between
1885 and 1966. Most were built between 1895 and
1928. There are three factors that contribute to the
Village's continuing vitality. The first is the Cook Farm
Company's insistence on controlling the quality of the
homes, their cost, size, and restricting residency to single
families. Secondly, the Indian Village Association,
formed in 1937, continues to enforce single-family residency, encourages historic preservation, and works to
maintain the neighborhood as a desirable residential area.
The third factor is the 1972 designation as a historic district, which sparked renewed interest by lending institutions and insurance companies, as well as attracting new
residents.
Leader: Stewart McMillin, resident and tour specialist,
Indian Village

Black Churches - Strengthening Communities: The
church continues to be the most influential institution
in the African American community and has played a
remark able role in shaping the development of other
pivotal institutions. The emergence of schools, universities, civic leadership, entrepreneurs and labor unions
in black America, have their genesis in the African
American Church.
As a provider of resources, the church has served as the
chief safety net for the disinvested and disenfranchised.
Today in many major urban centers across America, the
church continues to be in the vanguard in transforming
communities from positions of need to heights of political and economic empowerment. In Detroit, Greater
Grace Temple and New St. Paul Tabernacle C.O.G.I.C.
are excellent examples of how faith-based community
leadership can stabilize and re-energize communities.
Join us for a tour of two of Detroit's most progressive
houses of worship.
Leader: Robert Thornton, program officer,
The Skillman Foundation

A Mini-Melting Pot: The Acculturation of Russian
Jews: Since 1979, approximately 20,000 Russian Jews
have emigrated to the metropo litan Detroit area, primarily in Oak Park, Michigan. Oak Park features an interesting convergence of Russian, Orthodox Jewish,
African American and Chaldean communities. The
Jewish Community Center QCC) often likened to the
"settlement houses" of yore, is situated on a campus in
Oak Park that includes federally subsidized senior
apartments. The tour will include briefly observing an
ESL (English as Second Language) class and senior discussion group, and meeting with the leadership of the
Neighborhood Project, a community-based program
housed in theJCC that uses innovative techniques to
maintain the cultural diversity of Oak Park.
Participants will also travel to a Citizenship Training
Program, targeted towards older Russian immigrants,
and a n: w, culturally competent Hospice Program created to meet the needs of the Jewish community, stopping
at a Russian Market along the way for a tasty treat!

Walk &amp; Squawk Performance Project: Participants
will tour the furniture factory, home of Detroit's newest
performance space, developed by Walk &amp; Squawk
Performance Project. The project is about transformation - of people, objects and ideas. It's about play.
And it is about the belief that live performance creates
community. Physical theatre and movement workshops are integral to Walk &amp; Squawk's mission. The
company has presented dozens of workshops for performers and non-performers of all abilities at schools,
universities and theatres in several countries.
Join us for a lively performance that will integrate
movement, images, spoken text, music and visual elements, such as video and magic.

On-Site with IDAs: Self Sufficiency and Asset Building
Held at the Detroit Entreprenuership Institute (DEI),
Detroit - DEI is a nationally recognized microenterprise program and one of 30 IDA Program Sites funded
through the recently formed Michigan IDA Partnership
(MIDAP) , a statewide initiative to provide asset-building opportunities for low-income families in Michigan.
Individual Development Accounts, or IDAs, are simple
in concept (a matched savings account), but profound
in impact. The State of Michigan Family Independence
Agency and the Council of Michigan Foundations
formed the Michigan IDA Partnership to expand the
use of IDAs in Michigan and serve up to 2000 families
with IDA accounts over the next four years, more than
any other state in the country. How are IDA Programs
being implemented in communities throughout
Michigan? What is the impact on families and individuals who participate in an IDA program? Finally, are
IDAs a viable anti-poverty tool that can serve hundreds
and thousands of families in the future? Hear from
those with experience about the benefits, potential, and
challenges of asset-building programs in achieving
greater self-sufficiency for low-income Michiganians.
Leader: Eric Muschler, director, Michigan IDA
Partnership, Council of Michigan Foundations

Today, it comprises a 1,600-student college preparatory
school and a 150-student graduate school of art, design
and architecture as well as an art museum and a museum of science and natural history, both of which are
open to the public.
Located in Bloomfield Hills, Cranbrook's 315 acre campus was designated a National Historic Landmark in
1989. The campus is know internationally for its
architecturally significant buildings, many of which
were designed by renowned Finnish architect, Eliel
Saarinen, set amid extensive formal gardens, natural
woods, lakes and waterways. The campus also features
American's largest collection of outdoor sculpture by
Swedish master Carl Milles.
In addition to touring the grounds and seeing
Cranbrook House (home of the Booths), the Art
Museum and Science Institute, participants will also be
able to visit the home Saarinen built for his family.

Latino population, a vibrant business district, and
numerous historical landmarks such as St. Anne's
Church. Recent efforts by community-based development organizations such as the Southwest Detroit

CONCURRENT SESSIONS
2:00p .m .- 3:15p.m.
Preserving The Old To Insure The Future
Mackinac East, Level 5
Communities across Michigan have begun to use their
historic resources as the focus for community and
neighborhood revitalization and sustainability.
Historic buildings, districts and landscapes provide
the "sense of place" that communities have identified
as important to ensuring economic stability and a
high quality of life. This session will highlight the
importance of this trend and provide examples of successful programs from the state and local perspectives
and how foundations can assist Michigan efforts.

Mode rator: Kathryn Eckert, retired from the
Michigan Historic Preservation Office and Trustee,
Americana Foundation, Novi

Comerica Park and Ford Field - Detroit's New
Stadiums: Comerica Park, one of the newest stateof-the-art ballparks in the major leagues, is the home
of the Detroit Tigers. Built in 2000, it is a ballpark
that was constructed with the fans in mind, from the
line of sight of the field to the baseball Ferris wheel
and carousel with 30 hand-painted Tigers. This tour
will include the press box, the visitors' clubhouse,
and dugout.

Speakers: Kathleen Wendler, President, Southwest
Detroit Business Association, Detroit; Brian Conway,
State Historic Preservation Office, Michigan Historical
Center, Lansing
Grantmaking for All Ages
Cadillac, Level 5

Ford Field, the Detroit Lions' new home currently
under constru ction, will be a one-of-a-kind facility
that will include a giant glass wall, revealing the
Detroit Skyline and the old Hudson's Warehouse.
The Field, designed to accommodate other sports
and entertainment venues, will have 65,000 permanent seats fo r professional football , including
9,500 club seats, 132 private suites, a domed-roof
structure and the ability to accommodate a natural
grass field .

Regardless of their specific interests, grantmakers can
play a significant role in connecting the generations
and helping communities both capitalize on the
opportunities and address the challenges an aging
society presents. This session will provide a set of
strategies designed to help funders adapt their grantmaking to the reality of an aging America. And, for
grantmakers already committed to revitalizing neighborhoods, promoting education, supporting children,
youth and families, or addressing health concerns, a
range of specific program ideas will be presented that
either utilize older adults as community resources or
recognize and address these same issues as they relate
specifically to the growing needs of older adults.

Ford Field is under construction. Therefore, participants should wear pants and boots, and will be
required to wear hardhats and safety glasses.
(Note: Ford Field is not handicap accessible during construction phase.)

Community Foundations: Planned Giving: What Is It?
LaSalle, Level 5

Experts now estimate that $40-80 trillion in assets will
be passed down in states over the next 50 years. As
estate gifts are the most common type of gifts to
endowments, community foundations must actively
plan to be able to solicit and receive planned gifts.
Whether a lead trust, planned gift, or a bequest intention, if a foundation is not prepared to discuss these
types of gifts and handle them in a timely and accurate
manner, the foundation will miss out on the most
important transfer of assets in our history. This session
will provide a beginning overview of planned giving
and discuss a number of models for community foundations to start, or expand, planned giving programs.

Technical Assistance:
Psst, Wanna Tip? The Message &amp; the Media!

practice. The health care system as it is currently structured cannot consistently deliver effective care in a safe,
timely and efficient manner. In this session, the committee proposes a bold overhaul of the U.S. health care
system - and a strategy to address serious shortcomings
in the quality of health care available to Americans.

Family Foundations:
Team-Work &amp; Family-Work!
Mackinac West, Level 5
Each family foundation is unique, but they share certain
common issues. Succession is the most common pressing challenge. How does a family foundation describe
and pass on its legacy over time and through generations? How do children and grandchildren blend their
interests and a changing world with the donor's intentions, thereby creating a vital, ongoing philanthropy?
How do the foundation's succeeding generations learn
about philanthropy and working together to maintain,
adapt and carry out the donor's inten t? Passing on the
foundation torch gracefully to the next generation is an
exercise in reason over emotion. It is important that succeeding generations be involved so that the foundation
v.rill be passed on in a way that helps ensure its continued success. This session will give all participants an
opp ortunity to discuss everyone's needs and expectations, and to learn about techniques that will encourage
trust and understanding between the generations.

Addressing the quality of h ealth care in this nation was
the focus of th e Institute of Medicine's Quality of

provide leadership, strategic direction and analytic tools
that will contribute to a significant improvement in
quality in the h eath care industry during the next
decade. Th e health care enterprise is in need of fundamental change. Research on the quality of care reveals a
picture of a system that frequently falls short in its ability
to translate clinical kn owledge and technology into

PLENARY SESSION

Mr. Rubin had spent 26 years at Goldman and
Sachs &amp; Co. in New York City. During his tenure at
the White House, Mr. Rubin was a leading advocate
for policy actions that met the need for economic
development in the Nation's distressed urban and
rural areas.

Welcome: C. David Campbell, President, McGregor
Fund, and Chair, Council of Michigan Foundations,
Detroit

Greetings: Edsel B. Ford, II, Trustee, The Skillman
Foundation and Chair, Detroit 300, Detroit

Mr. Rubin now serves as Chairman of the Board of
the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (USC) , the
nation's leading community development support
organization. At the USC Leadership Conference in
April, 2001, Mr. Rubin noted that "America has
learned a lot about how to help communities rebuild
from abandonment, neglect, underinvestment and
decay. But those lessons haven't been applied with
anything like the requisite scale. And once they are
applied, it takes years to accomplish what needs to be
accomplished. This is not a task for five, or even ten,
or even twenty years. The challenge of the new century
is to continue to improve and expand the approaches
to community development, and to marshal the
n~tional will to provide resources commensurate with
the need."

Leader: Monica Martinez, Program Manager, Ford
Motor Company Fund

Indian Village Home Tour: Indian Village had its
beginnings in 1893 when the heirs of landowner,
Abraham Cook, (177 4-184 7) formed the Cook Farm
Company Limited, whose stated goal was to develop
a "first class residential district on a generous scale."
The Village has 351 homes, six churches, and two
schools built between 1885 and 1966. Most were
built between 1895 and 1928 when new construction suddenly stopped a year before the 1929 stock
market crash. There are three factors that contribute to the Village's continuing vitality. The first
is the Cook Farm Company's insistence on controlling the quality of the homes, their cost, size, and
restricting residency to single families. Secondly, the
Indian Village Association, formed in 193 7, continues to enforce single-family residency, encourages
historic preservation, and works to maintain the
neighborhood as a desirable residential area. The
third factor is the 1972 designation as a historic district, which sparked renewed interest by lending
institutions and insurance companies, as well as
attracting new residents.

Historic Rouge Auto Plant and its Renewal: Don't
miss this one of a kind opportunity - tour Ford
Motor Company's historic Rouge Center.
Commissioned by Henry Ford in 1917, the complex
was designed by Detroit architect, Albert Kahn.
During World War I, Ford Motor Company built
submarine chasers at the Rouge and by the midl920s the complex was the largest manufacturing
center in the world. The first automobile to be
completely assembled here, the Model A, was introduced in 1927.
In order to move the center into the 21st century,
major redevelopments will take place to lay the
groundwork for sustainable manufacturing at one of
the world's largest and oldest industrial icons. The
plan includes numerous pilots of advanced environmental concepts and a new assembly plant with the
nation's largest ecologically inspired living roof. The

Independent Foundations: Technology Investments Return to Respectability
Nicolet, Level 5

Remaining True to Core Values
In his annual message for the Charles Stewart
Mott 2000 Annual Report, Mr. White celebrates
the foundation's 75 years of "implementing the
philanthropic dreams of the remarkable man who
had faith in people and believed that every person
-always- is in an informal partnership with his
or her community. " At a personal milestone himself, marking his 30th anniversary with the foundation (25 years as its President), Mr. White has
spent some time this past year reflecting on this
organization. He realized that a constant theme
throughout its history has been "embracing
change while remaining true to core values."
Hear from this experienced Michigan grantmaker
how important it is for an organization to be constantly looking for ways to renew itself, while
maintaining its core principles.

The NASDAQ was the darling of the investment world
during the last half of the 1990s. In 2000, its declines
left investors ready to throw in the towel. Learn where

beyond, so that your organization (and you) can take
advantage of the changing nature of this volatile segment of the market.

Despite the challenges of the economy, our collaborative partnerships with the State
of Michigan continue to remain strong. The IDA Partnership ended its first 18 months
with 987 accounts-the largest effort in the countiy to assist low-income working
families become homeowners, participate in advanced education or start small businesses.
CMF's Government Relations Committee approved creation of the Public Policy
Committee, which recently hosted two conference ca lls for members to discuss the
State Budget. Despite a supportive President and Governor, proposed legislation and
elections reinforce the need to continue our work together in Washington and Lansing
to advocate for philanthropy.

co-chairs for the Conference. Since 1962, they have been stewards of
the Grand Hotel, serving on numerous boards and commissions both
on the island and throughout our state. They have diligently worked to
protect and add to the beauty that makes Mackinac one of Michigan's
jewels. Chairman of the Grand, Mr. Musser recently guided construction of a new state of the art medical facility for the Island. As a
member of the Board of the Mackinac Island Public Library, Mrs.
Musser has been instrumental in creating the many arts and cultural
programs it houses. They are founding members of the Mackinac Island

�Alan Simpson
Retired U.S. Senator
Former Director, Institute of Politics,
John F Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

Informal Networking Lunches at the Grand Hotel

12:00 noon- 1:30 p.m.

Enjoy an outstanding dining experience
in the Grand Hotel's Main Dining Room
followed by what will certainly be an
entertaining and insightful presentation
by retired United States Senator from
Wyoming, Alan Simpson. Described by
the media as an opinionated and cagey
fellow, gifted with a folksy sense of
humor, Simpson decided in 1996 not to
seek a fourth term after serving in the United States Senate since 1978.
He left the Senate with a respected record, distinguished by his farsighted work for Social Security reform, and as the GOP's majority whipsecond in command when the Party regained control of the Senate in
1994. A partner in a law firm and consultant to the Washington lobbying firm, The Tongour-Simpson Group, Simpson was director of the
Institute of Politics at Harvard after leaving the Senate. Shaken by the
death of Matthew Shepard in his home state, the Senator believes that "if
we can forget color as a barrier, we can also forget sexual orientation:'
Based on his own experiences, the Senator believes everyone should get a
second chance in their community. The Senator looks forward to
sharing his thoughts on inclusiveness and how the media can better
serve in renewing community and the human spirit.

Family Foundations Lunch at the Grand Hotel

12:00 noon- 1:30 p.m.
Tours

2:00 - 4:30 p.m.
Explore Mackinac Island and learn how residents are working to

�Great Waters
The Great Lakes Basin contains one-fifth of the world's fresh water. Low
water levels, increased beach closings, and water bottling plants are all
contributing to increased concern about the future of both the quantity
and quality of our water supply. Participate in a discussion of findings
from a new public opinion survey on the state of water resources in the
Great Lakes Basin.

Keynote Luncheon Speaker: Susan Stamberg
Special Correspondent
National Public Radio
Nationally renowned broadcast journalist Susan
Stamberg is Special Correspondent for National
Public Radio. She is the first woman to anchor a
national nightly news program and has won
every major award in broadcasting, including her
1996 induction into the Radio Hall of Fame.
Stamberg serves on the Boards of the
PEN/Faulkner Fiction Award Foundation and
Northwestern University's Medill School National
Arts Journalism program. Her interviewing has been called fresh,
friendly, down-to earth and "the closest thing to an enlightened
humanist on the radio." Stamberg feels every interview contains a lesson
in how to conduct a life, how to think about our world, how to present
oneself, in joyous and difficult situations. Stamberg will share these
lessons as she weaves the role of art, architecture and compassion
into the building of community.

Building Community By Building Community Leadership
Consider a community where no one has been prepared to lead and the
major employer has just closed. Sawyer, Michigan was that town. Today,
having worked with Michigan State University, local agencies and
groups, Sawyer has developed new leadership from among its youth and
adult residents, renewed civic pride, and started new traditions. This
session will explore the benefits of servant-leadership and asset-based
leadership development in distressed communities.

�TANF Reauthorization- Impact on Michigan and Poverty Policy
In 1996 the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families Act (TANF) was
passed, significantly changing the way welfare recipients would receive
support from the federal government. The hotly debated 2002 TANF
Reauthorization will impact thousands of low-income households in
Michigan, particularly in today's bleak economy. Gain insights into what
TANF reauthorization means for our state's residents, and how foundations can help reweave Michigan's safety net.

brainstorm how your foundation can answer the question, ''Are we
youth-friendly?"

Facility Needs in NPO Sector
Facilities are critical to the mission of our grantees, yet at a time of economic uncertainty, facilities maintenance needs are often deferred and

funders can help grantees and the greater nonprofit community through
creative approaches to addressing facility needs.

Employee matching gift programs have been around since the 1950s, but
never have they been more relevant than today with the national call for
service and volunteerism. Three experienced administrators of matching
gift programs will discuss how these programs can be a positive addition
to your overall giving strategy, how they can help you encourage individual giving and volunteering, and how they can broaden your impact

Sustaining Michigan's Endangered Small and Rural Schools
The survival of Michigan's small and rural schools is in question as they
confront budget shortfalls, pressure to consolidate, teacher shortages,
and school choice. The eastern three counties of the Upper Peninsula
are home to the smallest enrollment district in the state and the largest
geographic district east of the Mississippi River. How can these districts
address current challenges? And, more importantly, how can they provide students with an education that prepares them to succeed in the
21st century? Hear from national, state and local education leaders on
these issues and explore ways grantmakers can respond.

Growing up, Mae Jemison was afraid of
heights. Yet in 1992, as a Cornell University
educated physician, Dr. Jemison blasted into
orbit aboard the space shuttle Endeavor, the
first woman of color to travel into space. With
her new vantage point, Dr. Jemison founded
The Earth We Share which hosts a summer
camp where teens from around the world work to solve global dilemmas.
In 1999, she created The Jemison Group to focus on the beneficial integration of science and technology into our everyday lives. Now, this
astronaut, physician, Peace Corps volunteer, and activist believes we have
become confused about the purpose of technology. Dr. Jemison will
challenge us in her remarks about the role education can and should
play in connecting community and the human spirit.

�The Role of Relationships in Philanthropy
People are drawn to philanthropy to make a difference, and often for the
opportunity to form meaningful relationships. But grantor-grantee relationships are frequently limited when one sees the other as a means to an
end rather than as an equal partner. Join us for an interactive dialogue
about relationships in philanthropy.

Dear Colleagues:

•

Welcome to the 30th Annual Conference of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF)! We are excited to be
holding this Conference here at the famous Grand Hotel for the first time!!
The Annual Conference is the premier educational and networking event for Michigan grantmakers. We are for tunate to have an outstanding group of speakers offering opportunities to take a fresh look at the core skills of
effective grantmaking, as well as the hot public policy issues facing our state. There is still time to sign up for the
two special Simulation sessions and the Leadership Session for Experienced Grantmakers.
Speaking of time for signing up, you will not want to miss the array of choice tours available each day. From the
boat trip under the Bridge to exploring Fort Mackinac to preserving the Horse Culture, there is a tour designed
for you. You can even stay right at the Grand on Sunday afternoon for a program on fudge or join a morning
walk on Monday to see the birds. There is still plenty of room on the tours, so sign up at the CMF Conference
Registration Desk.
Each member of the Program Committee and Host Committee has a special ribbon on their name badge -let
them know if you have any questions and do thank them for their efforts. We also want to thank the member
foundations, and corporations that have provided special financial support for speakers, receptions and events.
Please extend your appreciation to them as well.
CMF is proud to be the oldest and largest regional association of grantmakers in the country. We value your
membership and invite you to visit the Membership table in Resource Central. On your way, please check out the
exhibitors' displays and let them know how much we appreciate their support of this Conference.
This is both a challenging time and time of great opportunity for our local communities, state and nation.
Philanthropy needs to demonstrate its relevance - that we are and can help make a difference. As we explore the
Conference theme, Community and the Human Spirit: Connecting and Renewing, let's explore the roles philanthropy can play in dealing with these challenges and taking advantage of the opportunities.

Thank you for joining us!

�Amelia Epler Musser
Robert Daniel Musser, Jr.
In 1962, Amelia and R.D. (Dan) Musser began their
stewardship of the Grand Hotel. Recognizing the
importance of the Hotel's place in the community,
Mr. and Mrs. Musser's commitment to Grand Hotel
is surpassed only by their commitment to the whole
of Mackinac Island. With equal dedication, they have
supported both the infrastructure that keeps the
town viable and worked to protect and add to the
beauty that make Mackinac one of Michigan's jewels.

Island Community Foundation, with her husband
and son, ensured its early operation through donations of an office and the underwriting of its administration. As a member of the board of Mackinac
Island Public Library, she was instrumental, not only
in construction of its current building, but also in
creating the many arts and cultural programs it houses for residents and visitors.

Mrs. Musser's commitment to beauty and art and
Mr. Musser's uncanny eye for operations, combined
with their mutual value of public service, form a
strong energy on the Island. They have been a driving
force behind virtually every successful institution and
major campaign. However, it is difficult to characterize the depth of their involvement because of the
quiet manner in which they serve.

Whether through board service, gifts of time, knowledge or hospitality, Amelia and Dan Musser have
used Grand Hotel and their experiences as tools to
preserve and enhance the entire Island for the Island
community and the benefit of the entire state. The
Boad of Trustees of the Council of Michigan
Foundations is pleased to recognize their many contributions by naming them Honorary Chairs of the
30th Annual Conference.

As Chairman of the Mackinac Island Board of Public
Works, Mr. Musser secured funding for an extensive
sewage plant and water treatment facility. Later, he
helped implement the broad composting and trash
separation system, which has become standard practice on the Island, and has enabled the Island to continue serving its one million visitors annually. As a
member of the Beaumont Fund and the Medical
Center Board, he has supported health and medical
care services and facilities on Mackinac, including
guiding the construction of a new $3.6 million stateof-the-art facility.

Retired U.S. Senator
Former Director, Institute of Politics,
John F. Kennedy School of Government,
Harvard University

Described by the media as an opinionated and cagey fellow, gifted
with a folksy sense of humor,
Senator Alan Simpson from
Wyoming decided in 1996 to not
seek a fourth term after serving in
the United States Senate since
1978. He left the Senate with a respected record, distinguished by his farsighted work for Social Security
reform, and as the GOP's majority whip-second in
command-when the Party regained control of the
Senate in 1994. A partner in a law firm and consultant to the Washington lobbying firm, The TongourSimpson Group, Simpson was director of the
Institute of Politics at Harvard after leaving the
Senate. Shaken by the death of Matthew Shepard in
his home state, the Senator believes that "if we can
forget color as a barrier, we can also forget sexual orientation." Based on his own experiences, the Senator
believes everyone should get a second chance in their
community. The Senator looks forward to sharing
his thoughts on inclusiveness and how the media can
better serve in renewing community and the human
spirit.

Special Correspondent
National Public Radio
Nationally renowned broadcast
journalist Susan Stamberg is
Special Correspondent for National
Public Radio. She is the first woman to anchor a
national nightly news program and has won every
major award in broadcasting, including her 1996
induction in the Radio Hall of Fame. Stamberg serves
on the Boards of the PEN/Faulkner Fiction Award
Foundation and Northwestern University's Medill
School National Arts Journalism program. Her interviewing has been called "fresh;' "friendly;' "down-to
earth;' and "the closest thing to an enlightened
humanist on the radio." Stamberg feels every interview contains a lesson-in how to conduct a life, how
to think about our world, how to present oneself, in
joyous and difficult situations. Stamberg will share
these lessons as she weaves the role of art, architecture and compassion into the building of community.
