Hertz suggested that the study be executed by a recognized economist with respected credentials from a recognized institution within the state of Michigan and that a cross section of Michigan foundations be represented by type, size and purpose. He further suggested that the funding for such a study be secured by CMF from interested members. Mr. Hertz suggested that a study of Michigan foundations was particulary opportune as rhe membership of CMF represents a cross section of charitable grantmakers who retain 90% the available foundation assets in the state. Second, CMF has strong contacts with the Michigan Congressional delegation and third, within the state, two major universities exist, with the cap acity to undertake such a study .

MICHIGAN 40417 PHONE' 616/842 7080 February 25, 1981 Memo to: From: Re: Board of Trustees Payout/Study Committee William S. White, Chairman William W. Allen Joseph P. Bianco, Jr . Thomas W. Herbert Willard J . Hertz Ted Johnson Russell G. Mawby Robert E. Swaney Dorothy A. Johnson Research Proposal The Payout/Study Committee recommends that the Council of Michigan Foundations undertake a research project on the effect of the payout requirement and inflation on philanthropy . The attached proposal is made by the University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration . Trustees will recall that the proposed study was originally suggested by Willard Hertz at the fall CMF Trustees meeting . It is proposed that $10,000 be sought from CMF members to fund the study . Of this $8,800 will be paid the University of Michigan and $1,200 used by CMF for direct expenses associated with the study, duplication, telephone and general overhead . The committee recommends that several CMF members cooperate in the funding of this proposal and towards that end the Chairman is in the process of directing requests to CMF members . The study will be used by the grantmaking community and the United States Congress. CMF has had indications that it would be advisable to have an "unbiased" source prepare the study. The committee has considered the use of the materials in light of the existing and proposed IRS lobbying regulations . �THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN 48109 (313) 764-1362 Donald H. Skadden Associate Dean February 10, 1981 To: Council of Michigan Foundations From: The University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration Subject: Research Proposal Introduction and Purpose During the decade of the seventies, portfolio managers of all types of financial institutions experienced the erosive effect of inflation on asset values and investment performance. As interest rates rose to compensate new lenders for ever higher inflation expectations, the market prices of existing long term debt securities declined, and the value of bond portfolios suffered. If the portfolio manager actually sold such bonds, losses were recognized in the income statement. If the bonds which had declined in value were held, losses went unrecognized in the financial statements, but the market value of the portfolio decreased. A given amount of book value in bonds simply was not earning the current market rate of interest. Likewise, investments in common stocks failed to provide sufficient returns to compensate for the effects of inflation. As investors realized that firms could not earn sufficient income to maintain the real value of dividends, and/or as investors increased required returns to compensate for greater risk, stock prices declined. Whether or not the securities were actually sold, the total return on common stock investment led, on average, to a decline in real wealth. The failure of stocks and bonds to provide returns adequate to offset the effects of inflation is apparently just part of the reason for an erosion of payout and asset value for foundations. In addition, the Tax Reform Act of 1969 and subsequent revisions require that foundations pay out annually the greater of five percent of asset value or the year's income. The social value of private foundations is accepted as a given. While it is beyond the scope of this project to attempt to document the many accomplishments of foundations, the final report will contain a brief discussion of this assumption and the support therefor. �- 2 We propose that the Council of Michigan Foundations commission the Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Michigan to study a representative group of Michigan foundations in order to examine the hypothesis that the federal tax laws may have impacted upon foundation operations in such a manner as to create results which are in conflict with the Congressional intent behind such laws and/or detrimental to the long range viability of the foundations themselves. If it appears that such impact does exist, suggested remedies will be proposed. Study Design The study will encompass the following activities: I. Congressional Intent The legislative history of the Tax Reform Act of 1969 and subsequent amendment s to the foundation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code will be examined. The professional literature since 1965 will be reviewed to find additional information on the reasons for, and the intended results of the legislation embodied in the 1969 TRA. A detailed study will be undertaken of the distribution requirement. The background of the other foundation rules will be explored only to learn if they impact on the distribution requirement. II. Foundation Investments and Distributions Practices from 1960-1980. The investments and distributions of a sample group of foundations will be examined . The group will include both private and non-private foundations of various sizes and types. The study will include an examination of financial records and statements, and interviews with foundation managers and investment advisors. This phase of the project will attempt to answer such questions as: 1. Did investment and/or distribution practices change after the TRA 1969? 2. Have such practices evolved differently for private and non-private foundations? 3. Do any such changes appear to be congruent with, or in conflict with, sound portfolio management? 4. Do such changes appear to be consistent with the intent behind the 1969 TRA? �- 3 - III. Impact of Inflation and Payout Policy The portfolios of several foundations, plus some hypothetical portfolios, will be examined to detect the apparent impact · of inflation and the payout requirement from 1960 to 1980. The same actual and hypothetical portfolios will be projected 20-30 years into the future under various assQ~ptions as to rates of inflation, interest rates, portfolio and payout policies, in an attempt to identify payout policies which best achieve the foundations' objectives. IV. V. It is expected that this study will result in one or more recommendations in two areas: 1. If the tax laws appear to have caused undesirable or unintended results, possible legislative remedies will be proposed. 2. Optimal investment and distribution policies will be suggested under various assumptions as to foundation purposes and goals . Timing and Budget The principal researchers on this project will be Professor Raymond R. Reilly and Dean Donald H. Skadden . Other resources of the University of Michigan will be utilized if and as needed . The final repor t should be rendered no later than May 1, 1981. It is proposed that the Council of Michigan Foundations reimburse the University of Michigan for the actual costs of this project, not to exceed $10,000 . It is expected that costs will be incurred as follows: Research Assistant s $ 2,800. Travel to foundation offices and to the Council of Michigan Foundations 4,000. Other costs, including duplication and computer processing 2,000. $ 8,800. No reimbursement is expected for compensation of the principal researchers. �- 4 Other The results of this study, as contained in the final report, may be used by the Council of Michigan Foundations in any appropriate fashion. Six months after the final report is submitted to the Council of Michigan Foundations the information developed in this study will be available to the researchers for publication or other appropriate purposes, on the condition that complete confidentiality of all non-public information shall be maintained. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The special projects fund is proposed recognizing the following factors: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The membership was assured in 1980-81 that no contribution increase would be suggested for 1981- 82 . Potential for new members exists however long range growth potential is not great . Time and resources are needed to attract new members . Staff capacity needed to service increased membership and to expand program . Other associations' experience - trend towards special projects fund from several interested members while maintaining large membership base . Increased need and increased number of requests to grantmakers is resulting in increased awareness of private philanthropy and increased opportunity to inform public about the merits of private grantmaking. 1981-82 Special Projects Fund Proposal : To seek funds in the amount of $32 ,5 20 from seventeen CMF members for the following legislative, membership and information programs . See proposed budget and three-year projection for breakdown . Legislative : University of Michigan Private Foundation Payout Study : $8,800 .

Purpose: 1. To inform the public, government representatives and grantmakers about the contributions of Michigan private grantmakers to their local communities, the state and the world. 2. To share information amongst grantmakers on what projects work within the state regardless of size, interest or location . A side benefit may be the replication of ideas and possible cooperative efforts among grantmakers . Why a tabloid : 1. Consistency 2.

The presentation would be available to all members for use at local meetings (clubs, schools , non - profits). It would include statistic on philanthropy in general and slides on what foundation and corporate grantmaking dollars have contributed to the state of Michigan . It is anticipated that program would be a natural for community foundations to use, followed by their own "local pitch" . Other grantmakers would make use of the presentation as they are asked to make a public speech . The CMF office and Foundation Center Regional Collectionswould use it at statewide grantsmanship seminars . - OTHER PROJECTS - $800 To edit a CMF brochure; To investigate and to plan placement of general purpose articles and media releases on the merits of Michigan philanthropy in newspapers, Sunday supplements and radio and television pr~grams. To develop concept paper for the publication of the historical role of the private sector (foundations and corporate giving programs) to the quality of life in Michigan for possible funding and implementation . �( 3) Why an information program A. To educate the public about charitable grantmaking. The Yankelovich, Skelly and White study, sponsored by CMF, revealed a number of findings which indicate more needs to be done to inform the public about charitable grantmaking. - 80% of foundation executives feel it is "very" or "somewhat" important for the public to be familiar with their foundation . - Only 13% say that their foundation makes "a great deal of effort" in informing people in their area . - 17% of Michigan residents are aware of any efforts of their local foundations to keep them informed of what they are doing. - 27% say they have heard or read anything about foundations recently. - 91% of members feel they are getting their money's worth from their Council of Michigan Foundations contribution. - But only 22% give CMF an excellent rating on informing the public of the unique contributions of Michigan f o undations to society . B. To inform government officials about the value of charitable grantmaking in a consistent, low-key neutral format. Note: CMF has received a firm commitment to fund one- third of the special projects fund budget from ten members. Verbal commitments have been received from other members to fund nearly all the remaining special projects fund budget . Individual proposals, including expanded statistics on the need, will be forwarded to each potential grantor upon Board of Trustees approval. 5/6/81 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Executive Director will pursue this matter with the IRS . Mrs . Johnson noted that Thomas A. Troyer and the law firm of Caplin and Drysdale , Washington D.

In addition to the 21 Trustees and the organizations they represent, 25 other Members are represented. In addition one committee member represent~ the Foundation Center Regional Collections. Observations 1. The Board of Trustees is generally representative by type of CMF member . For the purpose of this study corporate foundations which are also private foundations have been classified under the corporate category . Also some trustees represent more than one foundation, corporation or bank or a combination of such responsibilities. 2. Geographically the Board in 1980 was weak in the southeast area. The election of two new trustees from Detroit in 1981 has remedied that concern. 3. Attendance at Board of Trustees meetings has been excellent. 4. 25% of the CMF Members have had a primary representative serve on the Board. If the representation is broadened to include all those foundations represented by each individual the percentage increases to 33%. -2- �Observations Cont'd 5. 50% of the membership is or has served on the Board of Trustees or a Committee. 6. Board of Trustees years of service is well balanced. 7. Without imposing a limitation of terms of office the Board of Trustees • has had a natural turnover. The details of this report will be provided the Nominating Committee and any Trustee or Member requesting the information. -3- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Future meetings are scheduled for Oc t obe r 28 , 1981; March 18, 1 982 a nd June 2, 1 982 . Tenth Annu a l Con f erenc e Hotel: Hotel Pon tcha rtr a i n , Detroit *Date: October 13-15, 1 982 *Board Action Requested: The Conference Program Committee recommends that the Tenth Annual Conference begin Wednesda y evening, October 13, 1982 with an informa l dinner and continue thro ugh lunch o n October 15. As thi s is a departure f rom board policy of a two day meeting we seek your approval. Background: 1. 2. The last nine CMF Conferences have had two formats: Noon on one day through lunch on the second day Noon on one day through lunch on the third day The Program Committee recommends that a third option be considered which would provide a planned optional activity beginning at dinner of one evening, would open the conference at noon of the second day, and would conclude all activity following lunch of the third day. Advantages: - Optional informal time for friends and acquaintances to compare notes. - The Board of Trustees would most probably wish to convene Wednesday afternoon thereby allowing for a evening to meet with members. - Scheduling of Investment Seminar, Tours of Detroit grantmaker funded projects - would be possible beginning at 9:00 a.m. Thursday morning. - Formal conference would open at noon October 14, 1981 still al l owing a full program for those participants who do not wish to leave their offices for more than two days. Disadvantages: - Cost of additional nights lod ging. $65 double - Time commitment Guaranteed rate - $50 single; Host Event: Alfred G. Taylor, Jr., President, Kresge Foundation will reque s t that the Detroit Institute of Arts be the site for the evening activities October 14, 1982.

The following report summarizes The Michigan Scene Edith Sillars has been retained on a free lance basis as editor of The Michigan Scene. Many of you may remember her as a member of the communications staff of Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Edie recently left Mott to become a free lance writer in Detroit, where her husband is employed. We feel most fortunate to have a skilled editor who knows the grantmaking community . She will be present at the September 10 and 11, 1981 Board of Trustees meeting. Issues are planned to be released as follows: Fall - October Winter - January Spring - April II. Michigan Foundation Directory The update of the third edition will be released September 15. It is interesting to note that nearly twenty- five percent of the foundation addresses have changed. CMF and the MLHS has agreed to issue the fourth edition of the Directory in 1983 rather than 1982 in order to allow for a major revision in format. A sub-committee of grantees, grantors and MLHS representatives has been formed to guide the editorial process . III. Foundation Center Regional Collections CMF convened a meeting of the local librarians August 18 to evaluate continuing ways to cooperate, to review slide presentations, and to brainstorm changes of the Directory. The librarians are prepared to recommend a "master" set of slides which might be used by CMF members as part of a grantsmanship seminar. Farmington Community Library has become an affiliate of the Foundation Center and consequently retains the resourse collection. IV.

Allen and William S. White Co-Chairmen, Conference Mandate Committee Conference Mandate Committee Report Payout Legislation Passed As previous memos have noted our latest legislative initiative was successful. The leadership of Michigan private foundations and CMF has been recognized nationally as key to the passage of the payout provision. The three technical amendments which were part of the payout legislation were dropped from the bill. These included revising the expenditure responsibility requirement for foundation grants of less than $10,000; limiting the definition of a family member for purposes of determing disqualified persons; and relying on the official IRS rulings recognizing the tax status of potential grantees. At that time Treasury suggested these problems might be taken care of administratively. Efforts are being explored by the Council on Foundations to accomplish this task. Further Activities relating to Payout Change - The payout study report from the University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration will be presented September 10, 1981. It is anticipated that the emphasis of the report will be on current private foundation investment practices and future investment factors to consider to achieve certain payout rates. - An investment seminar is planned for December 3, 1981 in cooperation with the Council on Foundations. The seminar will emphasize practical tips on how to respond to payout change. - Several committee members have expressed need to properly inform public and government representatives about the limitations of the private sector to respond. While Independent Sector has launched a national effort in this regard, CMF may want to do something within the state, perhaps after reviewing the UM Payout Study. Other Provisions of Tax Act Effecting Philanthropy The charitable contribution legislation, supported by the CMF Board of Trustees was passed. Other provisions effecting philanthropy are summarized in the attached memo prepared by the United Way of America. Items of Note - During the debate over the 5% payout legislation, three U.S. Senators, advocates for the legislation, made important points regarding what they see as the lack of openness and accountability of foundations. Their concerns took the form of two requests. The first is to the IRS, who has been asked to add two more information requirements to the 990AR. These are: (1) a foundation's area of grant activity and its general guidelines in awarding financial assistance; (2) the foundation's grant application procedure deadlines and contact person. �As Senator Spark Matsunaga said "The statutory requirement is plain. The Internal Revenue Service in implementing the statute should obtain information as to the foundation's grant deadlines application process and selection process. If the Service does not, on its own initiative, reinstitute these questions on its informational return, I will join Senator Durenburger in obtaining remedial legislation to enforce the public information policy established by the Congress in 1969. - Reports have been received from Tax Exempt News and elsewhere that the U.S. General Accounting Office has been asked to examine how well the IRS is enforcing laws applicable to private foundations and other tax-exempt organizations. The request comes from Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal, D-N.Y., Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Consumer and Monetary Affairs. John Conyers, D-MI., is a member of subcommittee. In asking for the . investigation, Rosenthal noted that federal budget cuts have increased the importance of foundations. He asked GAO to look closely at whether foundations are meeting the information disclosure and payout requirements of the law. Rosenthal declared that these requirements "should be strictly enforced to insure maximum access to foundation support for groups who are cut off from traditional sources of support." The New York Democrat also asked GAO to look at the enforcement of laws affecting organizations exempt under sections 501 (c) (3) and (4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Community Foundation Legislative Co ncerns Some national community foundations continue to be concerned about the IRS regulation pertaining to the public support test. The Council on Foundations has surveyed all community foundations in order to establish a data base and to ascertain the actual impact of this problem. The results of this survey will be available this fall after which the Conference Mandate Committee will be better able to respond. Developing Goodwill Program The Conference Mandate Committee recommends that efforts be redoubled to reach government representatives in all congressional districts. The staff is currently updating the Developing Goodwill kits. Members from each district will be asked if they wish assistance from other CMF members who may have made grants in their area. State of Michigan - Nonprofit Corporation Act, House Bill No . 4684 still under consideration. The committee sees no items of concern within the legislation for foundations. - Committee members reported receiving inquiries from state legislators about foundations as a resource to potentially pick up (state/Federal) programs cutback or eliminated by recent budget cuts. Further consideration needs to be given on how to effectively respond to these inquiries. What Next To date three of the adopted CMF legislative goals have been accomplished Stabilizing the payout rate rather than annual adjustment to be determined by IRS Excise tax reduction from 4% to 2% Flat 5% payout rule The Conference Mandate Committee last met July 24, 1981, two weeks before the payout legislation was passed. The Committee will now meet to review the CMF Legislativ1 Program (copy attached) in light of the recent legislative developments. -2- �ECONOMIC RECOVERY TAX ACT OF 1981 SELECTED KEY PROVISIONS United way of America SHALL DONOR CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS All taxpayers may deduct charitable contributions whether they itemize or not. For those who do not itemize, the amount taken off for donations is a percentage of total contributions not to exceed a total amount or "cap" for the first three years. It applies as follows to taxable years after December 31: YEAR PERCENTAGE CAP MAXIMUM DEDUCTION 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 25 25 25 50 100 $100 $100 $300 $25 $25 $75 None None Half Of All Given All Given After 1986 the provision expires and must be renewed. CORPORATE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS The act increases to 10 percent the existing 5 percent limitation for corporate charitable gifts. This provision now takes on added significance because the substantial corporate tax reductions in the bill will result in a lower base for application of the percentage. Further, though only 20 percent of all corporations filing tax returns make any contributions, 27 percent of those that do, particularly small family-owned businesses, give 5 percent or more. Thus, the amendment was a necessity for these corporate givers to maintain full deductibility of their gifts. The amendment was originally sponsored by Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-HA). It takes effect after December 31. MAJOR DONORS Econometric studies indicate that these individuals are both sensitive to and knowledgeable about the after-tax cost of their gift. For example, under present law a taxpayer in the 70 percent tax bracket who gave a $10,000 gift had an aftertax cost of $3,000. Under the new legislation the top marginal tax bracket will be reduced from 70 percent to 50 percent effective January 1, 1982. Thus, after December 31, the taxpayer making a $10,000 gift who is subject to the top marginal rate (50 percent) will have an after-tax cost of $5,000. This increase in the after-tax cost may not affect the willingness of the donor to give, but might negatively affect the amount of such a gift in the future. At this time no one can tell whether individuals with greater disposable income will feel more inclined to give generously. In the meantime local United Ways have five months before the top marginal tax rate is lowered and it would be useful to stress to major donors that if they give this year (as opposed to next year), their tax advantage would be greater. This point is also important for all givers because across-the-board rate reductions were adopted and thus, all the way down the line, the after-tax cost of the charitable gift will be increased. A provision that indexes for inflation the personal exemption, the standard deduction, and the tax rates may also have an impact on charitable giving. Indexing will prevent taxpayers from being pushed into higher tax brackets over time and thus hold constant their year-to-year tax liability. Thus, the aftertax cost of their giving will remain constant. This stability is probably a plus in developing multi-year gifts. BEQUESTS The tax rates and exclusions affecting estates and gifts have been substantially revised. The new law provides for an unlimited marital deduct.ion as well as an increase in the current $175,625 estate tax exclusion to $600,000 in 1986. In -3- ~ �addition, the maximum rates of taxation are lowered in stages from 70 percent tc SO percent in 1985 and thereafter. The unlimited charitable deduction from estatE tax remains unchanged; · however, the consequence of the increased exclusion and the lowered rates is again to lower the after-tax advantage of creating a charitable bequest. REDUCTION IN FOUNDATION PAYOUT RULE Presently, private foundations are required to distribute each year the greater of their entire realized income or an amount equal to 5 percent of their investment assets. The bill includes Senator David Durenberger' s (R-MN) amendment to limit the foundation payout requirement to simply 5 percent of investment assets. The change is significant in that high inflation resulted in the erosion of foundation assets and the payout requirement prevented the foundation from reinvesting a portion of its income to stabilize its purchasing power. The provision takes effect on January 1, 1982. CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS The Congress removed all estate and gift taxes on gifts and bequests between spouses. The final tax bill also removes the spousal estate tax liability for their interest in a charitable remainder unitrust, charitable remainder annuity trust, and po oled life/income fund. CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS OF EQUIPMENT Tax incentives are increased for donating newly-manufactured scientific equipment to colleges and universities for research in the physical and biological sciences. Donors are allowed to deduct not only the cost of the equipment but also half of the appreciated value up to twice the cost. DONATED WORKS OF ART An actual work of art and its copyright are treated as separate things for gift and estate tax charitable deductions. Thus artists and writers can give their original works to museums and receive a deduction even though another party holds the copyright and the power to reproduce the work. WINDFALL TAX EXCLUSION Charitable, educational and medical facilities that own interests in oil production facilities were exempt from the Windfall Profits Tax on oil. The exemption is expanded to include charities for the residential placement, care and treatment of delinquent, dependent, orphaned, neglected or handicapped children. The interest may be held by a church if all the oil proceeds were dedicated to the child care organization ·. CHILD AND DEPENDENT CARE The tax credit is increased for lower income taxpayers for their job-related costs of home care for children and dependents. The cost of using dependent care centers is now eligible for this credit, too, providing those centers are in compliance with state and local regulations. If a taxpayer's employer sponsors dependent care, the cost should not be included as part of an employee's gross income. The bill increases the credit from 20 percent to 30 percent of expenditures for those with incomes below $10,000, dropping l percent for each $2,000 income up to $30,000. For incomes above $30,000, the credit is 20 percent. New expense limit is raised to $2,400 for one dependent and $4,800 for two or more dependents. ADOPT! ON COSTS Cost of up to $1,500 can be deducted by taxpayers adopting children with "special needs." These include Black, Hispanic, Mexican, Puerto Rican or Native American children, those over age 6 and handicapped children. It does not apply to international adoptions and is effective retroactive to January 1, 1981. -4- 8/10/81 �October ~~¥9~fil of VMitltigan WoundatiOJtS 18 NORTH riFTH STRF tT GRAND HAVP" MICHIGAN 4'1417 rHONF GlG/842 7080 Memo to: From: Re: MEMBERS Board of Trustees CMF Legislative Program - Revised Statement Background Council of Michigan Foundations Members in 1977 directed the Board of Trustees to develop a public information program in support of Michigan found ation philanthropy and to institute a plan to communicate with public policy makers. A Conference Mandate Committee was established for this purpose. CMF has worked with Member foundations, the Council on Foundations and other Associations to bring a bout changes in the mandato~~ payout and reduction in the excise tax for nonoperating private foundations. In 1979 the Conference Mandate Committee surveyed the CMF Members on their legislative interests and priorities. There was a concensus that now is the time for foundations to continue working to make themselves and their accomplishments known to Congress. Furthermore, it is the time to establish the next set of steps for legislative relief. Foundations should continue their programs of information and dkscussion with Congressmen, not only in their own districts, but with relevant committees. The "Developing Good Will" Program, launched in 1980 has been designed to assist in this effort. The Board of Trustees approved the initial legislative program on March 1, 1979 and the following revised statement on September 19, 1980 . Legislative Program I. Eliminate certain restrictions placed on private foundations imposed by the Tax Reform Act of 1969. A. Change the 20% limitation on gifts to a non-operating private foundation to 50%. Under existing law, generally, the for contributions to non-operating contribution base (which, in most other hand, an individual taxpayer for gifts to public charity . B. amount deductible by an individual taxpayer private foundations cannot exceed 20% of his cases, is his adjusted gross income). On the can deduct up to 50 % of his contribution base Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer to a private foundation on certain capital gain property. Under existing law , generally , individual taxpayers cannot make a gift of an appreciated capital asset to a non - operating private foundation and receive a deduction for the full value of the gift. The amount of the gift must be reduced by 40 % of the amount of the appreciation . On the other hand, a gift of an appreciated capital asset to a public charity entitles a taxpayer to a deduction for the full amount given. �C. Make the five year carry-forward on excess charitable contributions by individuals and corporations applicable to such contributions to nonoperating private foundations. II. Other Legislative Concerns III. IV. V. VI. A. Seek a reasonable payout rate that foundations must meet and allow foundations to retain earnings in excess of this rate in years that they earn more than the payout rate. B. Allow private foundations to charge their investment expenses to their required payout amount for charitable purposes. C. Exclude from the formula used to compute the excise tax on private foundation net investment income any capital gain realized in the fiscal year in question. Propose certain technical revisions which would increase the efficiency of charitable giving . A. Establish a small grant rule, which would allow grants of under $15,000 to be free of expenditure responsibility. B. Seek relief from the first level penalty tax for unwillful or inadvertent mistakes. Some foundation managers and advisors honestly make a mistake without malice-of-forethought . They are severely penalized and some lawyers suggest relief from the first level penalty . c. Place a limitation on who is a disqualified person. It is proposed that the definition of a disqualified person be cut off after the second generation. Such a cut off would allow a reasonable mechanism to keep track of disqualified persons . D. Extend declaratory judgement procedure to various private foundation issues including set asides, individual grant programs and company scholarship programs. Presently there is no way to litigate. It is proposed to extend declaratory judgement procedures to issues which require advance IRS action. E. Require one penalty tax at the time of the infraction, rather than increase the tax with each year. Pursue change of certain Internal Revenue Service regulations which pose hardships on public charities and jeopardise their fund-raising potentials. Of particular concern are the tipping regulations whereby a public charity may lose its public charity status because of a private foundation grant. Regularly communicate with elected officials on federal, state and local level about foundation activities and concerns. A. Encourage member foundations to report grants and activity to government officials. B. Establish mechanisms to assist Member foundations to report their grants . Continue discussions with Michigan Attorney General 's Office regarding community and private foundation concerns. �#5 INDEPENDENT SECTOR ·.· · NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release For Further Information Contact John Thomas (202) 659-4007 STUDY SHOWS IMPACT OF NEW TAX ACT ON CHARITABLE GIVING lSh i ngton, D.C., August 27, 1981 -- Charitable giving is likely to be $18 billion less over t he next f our years as a result of the Tax Act recently si gn ed i nto law by Pres i dent Rea gan. This is ·compared to what it would have been under the previous law. The pr in cipal factor is the reduction in tax rates included in the bill, especially for uppe r i ncome brackets. 1i s anal ys i s was released by INDEPENDENT SECTOR and is based on a study conducted for th em by The Urban Institute. Brtan o• Connell , President of INDEPENDENT SECTOR, said .. this unintended side effect of the broader tax bill could weaken many of the very voluntary organizations the President and t he public are counting on to make up for the federal budget cutbacks . .. He added , however, that •• these esti mated losses are based on an assumpt ion t hat fu ture gi vi ng habits, particularly of people with incomes above $30,000,will reflect past degrees of influence from the tax tables ... 11 If they do, .. he said, .. giving is certain to decline, but to the extent we can stimulate the other larger motivations for giving, we can begin to solve the problem and strengthen the basic fiber of the country.

Clotfelter, Associate Professor of Public Policy Studies and Economics at Duke University, and Lester M. Salamon, Director of the Center for Public Management and Economic Development Research at The Urban Institute, clarified that ':'lower tax rates mean an increase in what economists term the 'price .of giving', the net, out of pocket cost of giving a dollar to charity. Because charitable contributions are deductible from income in computing tax obligations, it does not really cost those . who. itemiz.e their de9uctions a full ..doJlar ~C? contr.ib,ute a ,dolJar . . .to ..ch.arity . .,. ' In fact, the higher the tax bracket, the lower the .real cost of giving. For a taxpayer in the 70 percent tax bracket, for example, the actual, out of pocket cost of giving a dollar to charity is really 30 cents since 70 cents would have gone to the federal government anyway. Reduce that · tax rate to 50 percent, and the price of giving that same dollar to charity rises to 50 cents, an increase of 67 percent." Salamon and Clotfelter pointed out that the Tax Act reduces the maximum tax rate on unearned income from 70 percent to 50 percent, provides an across the board 25 percent reduction in marginal tax rates over three years for all taxpayers and reduces the capital gains tax rate from 28 percent to 20 percent. It is these factors which they say will bring about the estimated losses. The legislation also reduces estate taxes and changes corporate taxes but the current study does not attempt to compute the potential losses resulting from these adjustments. The estimates do take into account that reduced taxes will mean that people will have more money in hand and that some of this will be contributed. They also take into account the growth in income projected by the Administration in its overall economic program. The esti~ mates acknowledge that giving will be favorably influenced by the adoption of the Charitable Contributions bill as part of the Tax Act. This provision will gradually allow all taxpayers to deduct their contributions even if they take the standard deduction. However the study concludes that even these favorable factors will not be sufficient to offset (more) �-3- the negativA influences of the lower tax rates. The $18 billion figure is a net reduction. The reduced levels of giving, in actual dollars, compared to what would have occurred in the absence of the 1981 Tax Act are projected as follows: 1981 1982 1983 1984 $ -0.5 billion TOTAL -3.3 -5.5 -9.0 $-18.3 billion billion billion billion The Urban Institute's figures estimate that 75 percent of this loss will relate to the top seven income brackets for individuals and that therefore the causes that these individuals traditionally support will bear the brunt of the reductions. This includes educational institutions, hospitals and cultural activities. Sa l amon, who also authored an earlier, companion report for INDEPENDENT SECTOR on the federal budget reductions and their impact on voluntary organizations, said that "the i mpacts of the tax legislation are all the more significant coming as they do on top of the pressure that will be put on nonprofit organizations as a consequence of the other half of the Economic Recovery Program: federal budget cuts." He estimated that as a result of the budget reductions, nonprofit organizations will lose $27 billion over the 1981- 84 period. "Taken together", he said, "the budget and tax portions of the Economic Recove ry Program are projected to cost nonprofit organizations at least $45.6 billion i n cu r rent dollars over the 1981-84 period--compared to what would have been available in the absence of these changes . " O'Connell characterized the impact on voluntary organizations as a "triple wharrmy". He explained, "federal program support has already been cut, contributions are now projected to go down and all this at a time when everyone is looking to these same organizations to expand their services." �A VISION OF A SOCIALLY JUST PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY When all Foundations, United Ways and Corporate Giving Programs wil 1 ingly report the details of their grant-making, finances and operations to the public or individuals who request this informatlon. When all Foundations, United Ways and Corporate Giving Programs hold annual public meetings to review progress/problems and to discuss future priorities, and when the public is invited to comment on these. When all organizations seeking grant funds receive prompt, fair and courteous responses from Foundations, United Ways and Corporate Giving Programs and, more importantly, receive serious consideration of their funding requests even though they or their leaders may initially be unknown to Foundation, United Way or Corporate officials. When Foundations, United Ways and Corporate Giving Programs routinely dispatch staff/ trustees to meet with grant applicants and United Way membership applicants on the latter's turf when the applicants are initially unknown to Foundation, United Way or Corporate officials. When minority, women and non-upper-class grant applicants can expect to deal with peopl e from similar backgrounds as staff/trustees of Foundations, United Ways and Corporate Giving Progra ms as often as they deal with upper-class, white males . When organizations excluded from United Way are provided equal access with United Way to solicit corporate and govern me nt workers for charitable contributions using payrol 1 deduction. When groups focusing on emerging issues receive enough private philanthropic money to adequately articulate their positions and to compete with the usually considerable resources of those who want to retain the status quo. When groups advocating for the poor, minorities, the aged and others with 1 imited financial resources receive as much private philanthropy as universities receive to study the problems of the poor, minorities, the aged, etc. When the private, nonprofit sector operates to its fullest potenticl as a watchdog on the abuses and inefficiencies of private business and government, and as a real lever for change to correct these abuses and inefficiencies, thereby becoming a more adequate balance to corporations seeking profits and politicians seeking votes or private wealth. When the private, nonprofit sector spends more of its flexible monies--freed from the need to seek profits or votes--on innovation rather than on maintenance of the status quo. When the private, nonprofit sector becomes more knovm as the champion of the disenfranchised--eithe r through lack of money or lack of voting power--rather than as the provider of services which make no attempt to change the basic conditions of those outside the mainstream.

Mr. Hudson stated that the Flint Area Health Foundation was the only potential member outside the usual Membership Committee interpretation of the CMF Membership Eligibility statement. Mr. Hudson explained that the Flint Area Health Council had complied with supplying all the relevant material and that it was the Membership Committee's opinion that the Flint Area Health Foundation was similar to a community foundation, with the same tax status, but only with a single grantmaking emphasis. Upon motion duly made, supported and carried, it was RESOLVED that the foundations recommended by the Membership Committee be accepted as CMF members. William s.. White abstained from the voting due to a possible conflict of interest with the Flint Area Health Council and Leo J.

Hudson presented the suggested recommendation that the suggestion contribution scale for foundations with assets of less than $200,000 be lowered to $50. CUrrently these foundations are asked to consider a $125 contribution the first year and $150 thereafter. It is the purpose of this change to allow more foundations to belong to CMF at a fee within what smaller foundations consider to be a reasonable range. Mrs. Johnson reported to the Membership Committee that the actual out of pocket cost of servicing such a member is $50. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the contribution scale for foundations with assets of less than $200,000 be lowered to $50. Old Business William S.

Johnson. James M. Richmond reported on current legislative developments. New Business Mrs. Riecker named the following trustees chairmen of the standing CMF committees.

Johnson Non-Profit Assistance Fund Feasibility Study Background Non-profit organizations are continually faced with cash flow problems whose solutions often require an inordinate amount of time and energy to resolve. These cash flow problems are primarily related to: delayed reimbursement or payment of grants and contacts; unforeseen cash requirements and/or inadequate cash flow planning. Because short-term credit is not widely available to non-profit organizations, for a variety of reasons, the typical solution is to temporarily cut back services which, by definition, are vital to the community. In many cities foundations and corporations have been joining together to form emergency cash flow loan programs ..• New York, Chicago, Winter Park, Minneapolis, Boston, San Francisco, and Denver. All of these programs have basically the same goals: 1. To make available short-term funds to non-profit organizati o ns unable to secure loans from commercial banks or other traditional sources, and 2. To stabilize budgets, and consequently program activities for existing non-profit organizations. Some Council of Michigan Foundation Members have expressed interest in a similar fund for the state of Michigan, however they desire to know the extent of the need. The CMF Board of Trustees indicated in the fall of 1980 that the idea had merit, but that the only responsibility of CMF should be one of facilitating and convening, not as administrator. Further Activity Study Grant The Webber Foundations and Charles Stewart Mott Foundation each contributed $1,000 for a survey of the need which was prepared by the Michigan League for Human Services . A summary of the results is attached. Eighty percent of the charitable organizations surveyed indicated a need for such an assistance loan fund. Comment The state and federal budget cuts will have an obvious impact on the proposed emergency loan fund and if the project is undertaken these factors need to be carefully considered. Interested parties who may be willing to undertake designing the structure and administration of such a fund include the Michigan League for Human Services and state lending institutions. �Board Action Requested The CMF Board is asked to receive this report and to endorse the actions taken to date. The Board further directs the staff to further refine the considerations delineated above and to report back specific implementation procedures. Such activity should continue to reflect a convening/facilitating role. It is further recommended that the project come under the auspices of the Membership Services Committee. DAJ/sh �Michigan League for Human Services EMERGENCY LOAN FUND SURVEY STATEWIDE STUDY OF NEED Survey St.ml1llary The Michigan league for Human Services, on request of the Council of Michigan Foundations, initiated a needs assessment of non-profit, charitable organizations throughout the state. The study was to determine the need of these agencies for an emergency lo~ fund, such as those already established in several cities throughout the country (i.e., Chicago, New York, Denver). They were developed in response to cash flow problems of 50l(c)(3) organizations, loaning money to them on a short term basis. The League, to accurately assess the needs of Michigan organizations, set up a three tiered system of a.)statewide umbrella organizations, b.) local umbrella organizations,and c.) local agencies. From this system 104 organizations were selected and 75 were surveyed by telephone over a two week period. The survey results indicated an overwhelming need for an emergency loan fund (76% of the agencies experienced substantial cash flow problems). The chief cause of these problems was a delay in government funding. The majority of organizations surveyed neede3 less than $10,000, for a period of 30 days or less, once or twice a year. A large number of the agencies surveyed cope with their cash flow problems by delaying payments and payrolls, obtaining loans from lending institutions, obtaining advances from their funding sources, and/or receiving reserve funding from their "parent" organization. A few resorted to lay offs of staff. A majority of the surveyed organizations have not attempted to obtain commercial loans. Though 70% of them are allowed to seek loans, only 59% are allowed to pay interest on those loans. A large majority of the agencies conduct annual audits and all of them prepare a month-end balance sheet - indicating a basic level of management control and source of information for examination of their process of financial management. Most (80%) indicated a definite or probable benefit from the establishment of an emergency loan fund. Their recommendations for the operation of that fund center around quick processing of loan applications, interest below market levels, tlear guidelines, accountability of loan seekers, and the provision of technical assistance to agencies experiencing cash flow problems. Finally, while the survey did not deal directly with the possible effects of federal budget cuts and the economic recession, it was apparent from some telephone conversations that agencies experiencing few problems now may not be so fortunate in the near future. Thus an emergency loan fund may be only one of many supports nonprofit organizations will need to survive an increasingly uncertain time. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
