The background, purposes, need, benefits, cost and proposed activities are all discussed in the attached letter and proposal. In principal I think it is wise for CMF to consider any such proposal from a group of CMF members who wish to coalesce around a specific issue whether it be a subject area or geographic region. CMF has grown through the collective wisdom of its membership. Such is the size of the Michigan grantmaking community that I think we would be better served to provide a vehicle for a group wishing to meet around a specified subject. All too often when an organization reaches a certain size some members feel better served to begin their "own group." Consequently you have splinter groups emerge such as in the case with the Council on Foundations and the Association of Black Foundation Executives, Women and Foundations/Corporate Philanthropy, Grantmakers in Health, etc. I would hope CMF might avoid the problems of this model and the consequent duplication and operating expenses. You will be interested to note that three of the four individuals proposing the affiliation serve on one or more CMF committees. RR/sh �August 26, 1981 Ms. Margaret Ann Riecker, Chair Council of Michigan Foundations 18 North Fifth Street Grand Haven, Michigan 49417 Dear Ms. Riecker: Enclosed is a proposal for aff~liation to the Council of Michigan Foundations from a group of women interested in philanthropy. The purpose of this cover letter is to provide some background information concerning meetings and events that proceeded the submission of this proposal for your consideration. This informal network was formed as a result of several requests from women in philanthropy in Michigan to convene a meeting to discuss issues of relevance to women. Many women believed there was a need to form an informal network of women in foundations and corporate giving programs beyond what was happening in the normal course of their work. At the request of several women in the field, Marilyn Stein of the Mott Foundation agreed to arrange a meeting of women in foundations at the Ninth Annual Council of Michigan Foundations Conference in March of 1981. The response to that meeting was surprising; both in terms of numbers and enthusiasm. Approximately 20 women attended that meeting. The discussion of topics of general interest and of future directions was spirited. A c6py of the minutes from that meeting is attached. The outcome of that first meeting was a decision to form an ad hoc steering committee. This committee met on June 12, 1981 in Lansing. Minutes for this meeting are also attached. Three major issues were discussed: purpose of the group and future directions, informal communications mechanisms which could be developed, and meetings or informal workshops that could be held in the future. It was further decided at this meeting that the most appropriate course of action would be to pursue an affiliation with Council of Michigan Foundations as a committee. Enclosed is a proposal requesting this affiliation. It is our belief that the formation of an informal network for people involved in the grantmaking process in Michigan is an asset to those involved, to the Council of Michigan Foundations, and to the field statewide. It is our hope that the Council will favorably consider this request to become effiliated with it. Much interest and thoughtful consideration have gone into formation of this request. ' S1ncerely, Sharon Benjamin, Jackson Foundation Joyce Hecht, Hecht Foundation Dr. Geraldine Larkin, Mott Foundation Marilyn A. Stein, Mott Foundation Enclosu res �PROPOSAL FOR AFFILIATION TO THE COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS FROM THE MICHIGAN WOMEN 1 S NETWORK BACKGROUND Approximately 20 women from many of the member iqstitutions of the Council met at the Ninth Annual Council of Michigan Foundations Conference in March 1981 to discuss issues relevant to women in philanthropy. The outcome included the formation of an ad hoc Steering Committee which met in June to discuss the -purposes and methods of operation for an informal network. PURPOSES OF THE NETWORK The purposes of the Network are: -Identify and link women in Michigan's philanthropic community -Share ideas and proposals affecting women -Enhance women's role in the foundation field ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE Accomplishments to date include compiling a list of all women working in philanthropy in Michigan, and beginning the development of a list of well qualified women available to organizations seeking trustees or staff. THE NEED FOR AFFILIATION The Network has three needs whi ch can be met by affiliation with CMF: -The need for an established base and support system -The need to avoid duplication of effort and the accompanying financial burdens. -The need to 1ncrease the Network's visibility and thereby its potential for influence 1 �BENEFITS TO THE COUNCIL The Council and its members would rece1ve several benefits from the affiliation: -The ability to communicate effectively with current wome n members as a group -Assistance 1n recruiting additional women members -Information on women working 1n all phases of philanthropy -Information and counsel on women's issues thereby increasing the Council's ability to respond to proposals affecting women COST TO CMF The affiliation of this group will not co st CMF an y money. It is anti c ipated that various members will assume responsibility for any operating expenses through donated services. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES The Network would like to hold its meetings at the Council's annual conference. A committee will provide three on-going services to all CMF members: -Provide a clearinghouse of information concern1ng potential women trustees and staff members. -Provide an exchange of information on both existing pr ograms and also proposals members receive affecting women and women's concerns. This service could include both the exchange of proposals received; exploration of joint funding of proposals affecting more than one community within the state, and the review of specific proposals by wome n at other member organizations with experience with a given program. -Distribution of an inf ormal newsletter to network membe rs. The nature of the activities can and should be flexible so that the act iv i ties of the Network can evolve year by year to best serve the mutual i nteres t s of Council and the Women's Network. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MICHIGAN 49417 PHONE 616/842 7080 Board of Trustees conference Mandate Committee Co-chairmen William w. Allen and William s. White Foundation Accountability PROPOSED POLICY STATEMENT Today the public more than ever before is seeking foundation support for a growing number of needs. It is imperative that foundations provide information about their grantmaking ~rograms so that the best and most fitting requests are elicited and so that any inaccurate expectations on the part of individual groups are corrected. Foundations have received special consideration under the law to carry out their ch a rita ble tasks . Public support is tenuous and will remain so unless foundations are accounta ble. In spite of many fine information ef forts by individual foundations, Congress and the public do not perceive the flow of information from foundations to the public as being widespread or uniform. CMF encourages each foundation to provide timely information about their grantmaking program to the public. CMF wil l assist Michigan foundations and members in particular in their efforts to provide this information. BACKGROUND Congressional Concern 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 foun d ati o ns. Their concern took the form of a request to the I.R.S. to add two more information requirements to the 990AR . These are (1) a founda tion's area of grant activity and its general guidelines in awarding financial assistance; (2) the foundation's grant application procedure deadl i nes and contact person. As Sena tor Spa rk Matsunaga said "The s1:atutory requi r ement is plain. The I.R.S. in imp l ementing the statute should obtain information as to the foundation's grant deadlines application process a nd sele c tion 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." Investigation Asked of IRS Nonprofit Enforcement The U.S. General Accounting Office has been asked to examine how well the IRS is enforcing laws appl i c a ble to pr i vate found a t ions a nd other ta x-exempt orga niza tions . The request comes from Rep. Benj a min Rosenthal , D-N.Y., Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Consumer and Monetary Affairs. �Mlchigan Foundations and Ac countabillty Las t fall the Yankelovich Study, "Foundations & Issues in the '80' s" , was evaluated in terms of sharing with legislators the perceptions and knowledge of the public about t1ichigan foundations. While there were some positive facts that could be "fluffed up", the negative facts far outweighed any value in talking about the positive and illustrated further accountability problems. Whether or not a foundation prints an annual report (however simple) has become an important criteria in weighing whether or not a foundation is being "accountable." The list of Michigan foundations with asseus of more than $1 million is summarized below: # Foundations Printing Annual Report Foundation Assets Assets Assets Assets Assets $100 Million or More 25 - 100 Million 10 - 25 Million 5 - 10 Million 1 - 5 Million # Foundations NOT Printing Annual Report 5 6 8 2 19 1 3 8 63 The Council on Foundations has asked support in encouraging foundations to print annual reports. Current CMF Activity 1. Annual Report Writing Consultation Service: Involves preparation of draft report simply prepared from foundation 990AR. 2. Distribution of sample annual reports and annual report writing guide. PROPOSED ACTIVITY 1. Announcement of Board statement endorsing "accountability ". 2. Expand technical assistance available to those member foundations requesting assistanc e on how to prepare an annual report . -Prepare sample report -Provide " how to guide" 3. Contact all identified Mich iga n foundations not printing an annual report with a ssets above $1 million. SUch contact will be made in person or by letter . Each contact will be personalized by the chair, trustees or staff . "How-to" information will be supplied as appropriate j.n each case . 4. Further options will be considered depending on the results of initial efforts.

A Conference Mandate Committee was established for this purpose . CMF has worked with Member foundations , the Council on Foundations and other Area Association to br in g about changes in the mandatory p ay out to a flat five percent and a reduction in the excise tax for non-operating private foundations . The Conference Mandate Committe e has s urveyed the CMF Members on their legislative interests and priorities on a timely basis . There continues to be a concensus that this is the time for foundations to continue working to ma ke themselves and their accomplishments known to Congress and other appropriate government representatives. In 1980 CMF launched a "Developing Good Will Program " to assist in this information effort . The CMF Board of Trustees a pproved the initial legislative statement on March 1, 1979 . A revised statement was approved September 19, 1980 and the following statement was approve d January 27 , 1982. High Priority Legislative Issues 1. Change the 20% limitation on gifts to a non-operating private foundation to 50% . Under existing law , generally , the amount deductibl e by an individual taxpayer for contributions to non-operating private foundations cannot exceed 20% of his contribution base (which, in most cases, is his adjusted gross income) . On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50% of his contribution b ase for g ifts to public charity. 2. Increase the deduction allowed a taxpay er to a private foundation on certain capital g a in 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 f u ll 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 char ity entitles a taxpayer to a deduction for the full amount given. 3. Make the five year c arry -f orward on excess charitable c ontributions by individuals and corporations appljcabl e to such contributions to non-operating private foundations . �Other Legislative Priorities 1. Allow private foundations to charge their investment expenses to their required payout amount for charitable purposes . 2. 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. 3. Relax excess business holdings restrictions against private foundations. 4. Review of regulations pertaining to community foundations with the Internal Revenue Service. Proposed Technical Revisions 1. Establish a small grant rule, which would allow grants of under $15,000 to be free of expenditure responsibility. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. Extend declaratory judgement procedure to various private foundation issues including set asides , individual grant programs and company scholarship programs . Presently It is proposed to extend declaratory judgement procedures there is no way to litigate. to issues which require advance IRS action . 5. Require one penalty tax at the time of the infraction , rather than increase the tax with each year. 6. 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. CMF Activity 1. Regularly communicate with elected officials on federal, state and local level about foundation activities and concerns . 2. Encourage member foundations to report grants and activity to government officials. 3. Establish mechanisms to assist 4. Continue discussions with Michigan Attorney General's Office regarding community and private foundation concerns. ~lember foundations to report their grants. �Council of VMicftigan l'oundatiorts 18 NORTH FIFTH STRFfT #4 GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN 49417 January 14 , 1982 Memo to : From: Re: PHONE' 616/842-7080 Board of Trustee s Ranny Riecker Proposal - Committee Structure Proposed: A CMF Public Issues Committee be established . Purpose To review issues of general interest to the CMF membership as may be raised by a group of members or by the Board of Trustees. Operation The committee will be appointed by the CMF Chair and approved by the Board of Trustees, the usual prac ti ce for all CMF committees . Sub-committees of the Public Issues Committee will be organized as interest in a particular s ubject dictates. The makeup of the committee will be selected to ensure a broad b ased expression of v i ews . Members r ai sing a particular issue will be asked to contribute the staff work needed . The CMF staff will assist the committee as appropriate to the primary purposes of CMF . No unusual costs will be assumed without prior Boar d of Trustees approval , the usual practice. Examples of issues which might be referred to a Subcommittee include Grantmakers in Health International Grantmakers Gra ntmakers in Agriculture Precollegiate Education Women in Foundations Background As you know a request was received from a g r oup of members interested in forming a CMF committee on women and foundations at the last Boa rd of Trustees meeting . After a lengthy discussion the Board voted to form a CMF Women and Foundations committee . Upon second thought, I think it is in the best interest of CMF to form one broadly based committee , which might be used as the vehicle for any group of members interested in a particular subject. In my op i nion such a vehicle would allow members to meet around a p arti cula r issue, without organizin g as a separate entity. On a n ationa l level we have observed groups such a s th e Association of Foundation Black Executives, Grantmakers in Health, Women and Foundations/Corporate Philanthropy begin as interest groups, but ultimately seek their own secretariat, etc. Such activity ultimately dilutes the interest of members in the general purposes organization (CMF) and their reason for participating. I thjnk it is wise for the larger purposes of foundation ph ilnnthr opy to encoura ge such groups t o remain p ar t of the CMF ne t work .

The President seeks .xo build on this special heritage, to encourage still greater contributions of voluntary effort and . personal involvement, and to form a strong and creative partnership between the private sector and its public servants for the economic and social progress of America. The Task Force shares the President's concern for those people affected by the fundamental change now occurring in the servicing of social programs, as responsibility for those programs passes from the Federal level to the state and community levels. Th e Task Forc e also shares the view that while much g o od work is already being done at the local, state and national l ev els by private institutions -- the family, religious organizations, business concerns, unions, philanthropic organizations, civic associations and others -- much more can be done with better organization and coordination. As catalyst in the attainment of this higher level of voluntariam and partnership, the President's Task Force is mandat ed: 1. To identify existing examples of successful or promising private initiatives and public/private partnerships and to give these mod els national recognition in order to promot e their broader use. 2. To encourage increased and mor e effective use of the human and financial contribution resources of religious groups, businesses, unions, foundations and philanthropic organizations, including more creative use of leadership, management expertise, L~ai.ing and volunteer work. 3. To encourage the formation and continuation of co~u nity partnership s -- private sector organizations working with local government -- to identify and prioritize community needs and then marsha l the appropriate human and financial resources. 4. To identify gover nmen t obstacles to private in itiatives and make reco~endations for their removal, and to formulate new incentive s to inspire and incite the private sector to undertake new initiatives. 5. To contribute to the developn ent of public policv in areas of c oncern to the Task Force. · ' �THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON PRESIDENT'S TASK FORCE ON PRIVATE SECTOR I NI TIATiVES 734 Ja9kson Place, N.W.

Hill �MEMORANDUM TO: Dorothy Johnson Director, Council . of Michigan Foundations FROM: Robert Collier DATE: January 26, 1982 SUBJECT: Michigan Emergency Fund Attached is a proposed draft outline of the Michigan Emergency Fund. This should serve as a discussion piece with the Michigan League for Human Services, Michigan National Bank and members of the Council of Michigan Foundations. I had a preliminary meeting with Michigan National Bank and they are ready to move on this. From a financial standpoint, we need to get five foundations or some equivalent to guarantee $500,000 worth of loans as our pilot. Mott would most likely guarantee at least $100,000 of that amount. From the standpoint of staffing and operating costs, I see the need for about $100,000 to cover staff and interest reductions in the loans. Mott will most likely provide $50,000 of that. There undoubtedly v1ill be questions about this and fund refinement will be required. I am looking forward to talking with you about this. RSC/das • Attachment • �OUTLINE OF THE MICHIGAN EMERGENCY FUND I. Introduction A. Nonprofit corporations, perhaps more so than their for-profjt counterparts, are continually faced with cash flow problems whose solutions often require an inordinate amount of time and energy to resolve. l. Cash Flow problems are primarily related to: a. b. c. 2. Regardless of the reasons why they arise, cash flow problems are either: a. b. Timing problems (timing of expenses doesn't match revenue flow) Actual cash shortages (the revenue sources to cover immediate expenses are uncertain) B. The typical nonprofit organization has a limited number of options to resolve cash flow problems. Because short term credit is not widely available to nonprofit organizations for a variety of reasons, the typical solution is to temporarily cut back services which, by definition, are vital to the community. C. A recent survey (Spring, 1981) of nonprofit organizations in Michigan by the Michigan League for Human Services demonstrated: l. 2. 3. 4. II. Delayed reimbursement or payment of grants and contracts Unforeseen cash requirements Inadequate cash flow planning (both revenues and expenses) A substantial number of these organizations experience periods of "crisis management" because of cash flow problems usually related to timing problems. Most organizations preferred short term borrowing over other solutions to coping with cash flow problems Most of the organizations considered a short term line of credit as a significant method of stabilizing budgets and the delivery of program services. Nearly all of the organizations considered a cash flow loan program a very useful service to the nonprofit community Establishment of a Program A. As a result of the demonstrated need to provide access to short term credit by nonprofit organizations, a revolving pool of loanable funds will be established for nonprofit organizations experiencing cash flow problems of a timing nature. The program will be known as the Michigan Emergency Fund. �1. 2. This is not to ignore the cash flow problems generated by actual cash shortages, but i~ recognizes that short term credit is frequently not a viable solution in these cases The program is designed to be a cooperative venture of several Michigan institutions concerned with the financial well-being of nonprofit organizations a. b. c. III. Goals of the Program A. The broad, overall goals of this program are: 1. 2. 3. IV. The initial institutions participating in the joint venture will be member foundations of the Council of Michigan Foundations, the Michigan National Bank and the Michigan League for Human Services. The Michigan National Bank will make available loanable funds in the amount of $500,000. The foundations will guarantee all loans made from that fund as well as subsidize some of the interest. The Michigan League for Human Services will provide staff support and management training for the participants. The cooperative venture is open-ended and additional foundations and financial institutions will be encouraged to join. The starting date is June 1, 1982. To make available short term funds to nonprofit organizations unable to secure loans from commerical banks or other traditional sources To stabilize budgets, and consequently program activities for existing nonprofit organizations To improve the overall financial management skills of nonprofit organizations assuming that cash management is central to improving many other aspects of nonprofit organization management Who is Eligible for Funding A. The criteria for eligibility under this program have been kept deliberately broad in order that the program serve the widest possible range of nonprofit organizations. The established criteria are: 1. 2. 3. 4. The organization must be a Michigan nonprofit organization whose services are performed in Michigan The organization must have current public charity status under IRC Sections 50l(c)(3) and 509(a) and the proceeds of the loan used to carry out a charitable activity as defined in IRC Section 170(c)(2)(b) The organization must be performing a community service which is nonreligious in nature At least in the beginning of the program,assistance will be limited to emergency situations a. An emergency situation is defined as a situation that threatens immediate shut down or dramatic curtailment of services �5. The request must cover a cash flow timing problem only a. b. c. 6. 7. V. The program will accept applications for timing problems that are either foreseeable or unforeseeable. A problem is foreseeable if it could have been planned for (assuming the organization has the skills to do such planning) A timing problem for purposes of this program is defined as a short term cash deficiency caused by an inability to match ongoing program expenses with relatively assured sources of funding The program is primarily interested in helping those organizations where cash is late in coming from funding sources The organization must have exhausted all other available resources for a loan before applying to this program If the application concerns a foreseeable cash flow timing problem, the organization must agree to participate with the Michigan League for Human Services to develop better skills in anticipating cash flow needs Kind of Loan Assistance Available A. The loans are to be made on a short term basis l. 2. B. The entire pool of funds available will start at $500,000 l. 2. C. Largest loan cannot exceed $30,000 The anticipanted average loan will be approximately $15,000 Extensions can be recommended by the loan committee for sufficient reasons l. D. Maximum limit of 180 days Average for the entire portfolio of loans - 60 to 90 days The loan committee has imposed a maximum limit of $100,000 in interest subsidies and defaults in any fiscal year before the program is completely reevaluated Interest will be charged by Michigan National Bank at its fluctuating prime rate 1. The loan committee is authorized to approve a lesser amount of interest (or no interest at all) if, in its sole judgement, such action is necessary to keep the loan within the affordable limits of the borrower a. b. E. Regardless of the interest rate approved by the loan committee, the loan will be structured at prime In these cases, the member foundations of the Council of Michigan Foundations will grant the borrowing organization such funds as necessary to repay the Michigan National Bank at prime All loans are on a first come, first served basis �VI. How Will Loan Decisions be Made? A. All decisions concerning the loans will be made by an independent loan committee 1. 2. B. C. VII. The organizations selected for loans will be those who meet the established basic eligibility criteria and who, in the loan committee 1 S judgement, do not present unacceptable risks of default (e.q. organizational instability, existing heavy debt or questionable management) Michigan National Bank will agree to make the loans specified by the loan committee There will be two loan committees for the Fund. One will cover the western half of the lower peninsula and the other the eastern half of the lower peninsula. Each committee will be chaired by a member of the Council of Michigan Foundations and each participating foundation will have a seat on one of the committees. The committees would be convened on a monthly basis in Lansing at the offices of the Michigan League for Human Services. Each committee will have six members with representatives from the nonprofit and private sectors also included. The Michigan National Bank will loan a bank officer to each of the loan committees as nonvoting advisors to the committees. How Will Loan Applications be Processed? A. Applications will be sent to the Michigan League for Human Services staff person l. B. The staff person will be responsible to log in all requests and to make a preliminary review of the applications to ascertain if they meet the basic loan criteria in conjunction with the chairmen of the ·loan committees All qualifying applicants 1 files will be processed by the staff person at the Michigan League for Human Services for the loan committee 1. 2. This staff position will be full time for the cash flow loan program and funded (at least initially) by the Mott Foundation The Michigan League for Human Services staff will fully develop the loan applications by a. b. c. d. e. Confirming the information on the application Obtaining any missing information Working with the applicant to determine the proper amount to borrow, the affordable interest rate and the reasonable date for repayment Assist the organization in completing the Michigan National Bank loan application papers Fill out an evaluation sheet for the loan committee �3. The loan committee will review all applications and make final loan decisions a. b. 4. A list of successful applicants will be sent to the Michigan National Bank along with the terms and conditions A letter will be sent to each successful applicant notifying him of the loan committee's decision, the conditions attached to the loan, and a request to contact the local Michigan National Bank office to formalize the loan The Michigan National Bank accepts the loan committee's decision and makes the loans to the designated organizations on a 0neto-one11 banking relationship 11 a. 5. Michigan National Bank will handle the servicing of all of the loans The Michigan League for Human Services staff will follow-up and encourage both successful and unsuccessful applicants to participate in further training and development � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MICHIGAN 49417 PHONE 616/842-7080 Memo to: From: Re: Board of Trustees Executive Committee Council of Michigan Foundations Administration 1982-83 The enclosed materials detail proposals for the operation of CMF during the next year . They are based on two realities : 1. CMF needs more space to operate. 2. CMF needs more personnel to serve members . The foJlowing recommendations are made recognizing the need to keep overhead at a minimum, Michigan's economic condition, and the imagination needed to deliver a service package of high quality . Pertinent to your consideration is what has been accomplished in 1981-82 and what is proposed for 1982-83 . The attached Plans of Work for both periods detail member s e rvi c es and activities . More Space Most of you have seen the CMF office in Gra nd Ha ven, located on the second floor of the old fire station. Our space is an 18' x 18' room (324 sq . ft.) and a storage room . D1.lring L.he l a st f i ve 'ears we have paid $80/month \.\ i -::h no lncrease s. CMF's operations --machines, files, etc. are now at a state that it is difficult to talk b y phone and almost impossible to converse in person when another party is using one or more of the machines. The Directory project will begin June l and there is literally no where to go in our present quarters. Proposed: CMF seek adequate space in the same building (3 rooms- 525 total sq . ft .), which is a very good possibility, or if n e ed be s e ek equiv~l e nt space in the cornrnunitv fo r a cha rg e not to exceed S225/no~t h. Addi t iona l Personnel to Serve !·:e;nt;er s The current sL.af ! arra~ge~en~ of an Executive director and orr1ce manage r /secr eL.ary ha s been in place s ince 1975 . Durlng LhaL. time msnbersh i p ha s i ncreas ed fr om 58 Members t o 144 Me mbers . The CMF servi c e p a cka ge and comm ittee stru c ture have expanded to meet the d emands of the membership. It is proposed that t he following a c tions be taken to better s e rve the member ship. 1. Executive Director train Office Manager in expanded CMF activities . 1982-83 might be reviewed as a year of transition as office manager learns more program activities. Cost implications : None �- 2- 2. Clerical Assistant be sought to assume general functions: Maintenance of mailing list; mailings, filing, some typing, general office work. CMF is eligible for a CETA employee. The local Ottawa County CETA is very anxious to place an individual with CMF. While the program will most likely end in October, an individual between May 1 and October 1 would learn a great deal and at the same time provide CMF an essential service. After October 1 further alternatives will be discussed with the Board. Cost implications: Other alternatives: 3 CETA -None Coop Program Minimum Wage $3.35/hr . Released Executive Time/CMF Member. The Executive Committee considers it important to provide more service for our Detroit area members who represent 28% of the membership. Rather than jump in with a full time staff person and the inherent overhead, it is proposed that a Michigan foundation be requested to provide a professional employee t~ develop a CMF presence in Detroit . It is envisioned that initially t wo days a month would be adequate to serve the area. The person would want to meet with members, surveying their needs and perhaps plan programs . The individual would work close ly with the Executive Director. The Charles Stewart Matt Foundation is amenable to receiving a proposa l on this plan . Cost implications: 4. None Hire Researcher for seven month period June 1 -February 1 to undertake ~icnigan Foundation Directory, Edition IV and the Survey of Michigan Foundation Philanthropy . Cost implications : Special purpose grant - $11,000 (Explanation part of Special Projects Budget- Survey and Directory noted) �KEMBERSIIIP INFORM/\TlON I 0 AREA ASSOCIIITIONS liT A C!.IINCE ~ 0 I:J ~~ .co: 00 ~ ~~ OH .....

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has contributed an additional $700 supplemental grant to cover the reprinting of 5,000 copies of the Proposal Process brochure. Anyone needing additional copies are asked to contact the CMF office. Upon motion duly made 1 supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the Information Systems Committee report be accepted as presented. Conference Mandate Committee Mr. William w. Allen~ Co-Chairman of the Conference Mandate Committee, presented the report~ Mr. Allen reported that the Payout Study had been received and distributed to all CMF members. Mr. Allen presented a report on Foundation Accountability, a copy of which is appended to these minutes. Mr. Allen proposed that the following policy statement be approved: Today the public more than ever before is seeking foundation support for a growing number of needs. It is imperative that foundations provide information about their grantmaking programs so that the best and most fitting requests are elicited and so that any inaccurate expectations on the part of individual groups are corrected. Foundations have received special consideration under the law to carry out their charitable tasks. Public support is tenuous and will remain so unless foundations are accountable. In spite of many fine information efforts by individual foundations, Congress and the public do not receive the flow of information from foundations to the public as being widespread or uniform. CMF encourages each foundation to provide timely infonnation about their g r a n tmaking pr o gram to the public . CMF will assist Michigan foundations and members in particular in their efforts to provide this information . Upon motion duly made~ supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the proposed Policy Statement be adopted. Sally Yerex will discuss with her colleagues at the National Bank of Detroit the pcssjbility of having annual reports prepared by CMF for some fo~ndation accounts . Mr. Hertz suggested that the Foundation Center and COF be used as a national source of information . Upon motion duly madeJ supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the proposed Activities of the Foundation Ac countabi lity report be accepted .

A mobili zation of the top private sector business and labor leadership from throu~hout the state into a cooperative, action-oriented effort to help the state and its citizens address the difficult economic problems confronting Michigan. The resulting committee would undertake a two-fold charge: First, identify the key assets and potential advantages of the state's economy; reco~end specific actions to encoura~e mor e rapid economic expansion and Giversification and more effective rr~rketing of the business location advantages offered by Michigan; and propose and carrv out strategies for implementation of the recor.mended actions. Second, identify the key aspect s -- public, private , geographi c - - of the Michigan economy that may cause Michigan to be non-competitive with other areas of the nation in terms of the cost of and conditions for doing business; consider and recommend actions to improve Michigan's competitive position; and Propose and commit to Pursue strategies for imPlecentation of the recommended actions . ~~a ' s P~kin~ 2. the Proposal? The proposal stems from discussions amongs t a group of top business lea der s in Sout~east Michigan and ~~th Doug Fraser and Don Ephlin of the UAW . Tnese business and labor principals appointed an 8-·member task force of business and labor 7epre s entatives to develop the proposal. Tne proposal has subsequently been endorsed by the business and labor principals for further discussion with out-state business and labor eadership . (A listing of business leaders actively involved in the development of the proposal is attached separately .) Once outs~ate us i 1e ss and J a ber s upport and participation is assured, the state's political eadership will be fully briefed . 3. Hov.' 1-'ould Tnis Differ From Other Stat e~Tide ~'Cormni ssions 11 ? It -.. .•auld differ in several i mportant "ays . :tirst, the gen esis co::1es from the private sector, and respon5ibility for i mplewentation of reco~ ended actions would rest ~ith private sector participants . Participation at the board level would be lirr ited to top private sector leadership . Although s u pport for the effor t from the state's po~itical leadership would be sought, these political leaders v.·ou ld not be ci r ectly i n ...-o Yed in t'he Ce'l.' e -G;rent of ::- e co=:t::::J G2tiOI!S. ~~or 'I.' Ould 7 ecor:::::e:ndc,tions b e s ub!!)itted to t he Gov e rn or for i wplei:".e ntation. Se cond, the eGp'r: asis would be on the development and i mplementation of recoi::mended actions to rejuvenc;te the state economy . This is not intended to be pr:..narily a res e arch effort. The real work would begin after reco~endations had been adopted by the committee . Finally, the clirr.ate for serious and constructive cooperative efforts by the state 's major economic interests appears to be better than it has been in the past. There appears to be a clearer recognition on the part of both busi ness and labor of common economic interests and intert~ined destinies . �- .4. ,.,_ Ho~ Would the Committee Be Structured? In order to assure adequate representation of the various state~~de economic and geogr a phic interests, it is re commended that the committee be approximately 75 members in size. The geographic and economic interests would be represented in as balanced a fashion as possible. Of course, some of the economic interests ~ill tend to be concentrated in parti~ular regions of the state, and be virtually nonexistent in others. The important thing is that the committee, in its entirety, have balance d representation. In terms of officers, it is recomm ende d that there be two co-ctairmen, one repr esenting business and the.other representing labor, and six vice chairmen. The co-chairmen would be individuals of considerable stature and capacity who would devot e a substantial amount of time to the effor t. The cocmittee ~'aul d also be e>..-pt::cted to develop several task forces -- probably no less than three and no more than six, depending on the final ag e nda - - to produce recommendation s in identified issue areas for full committee consideration. nese task forces and their committees would be expected to include person s other than boar d member s. 5. \,'ho Would Staff the Effort ? It is neithe r necessary nor desirable to structure a large, sophisticated staff for the coDmittee . The emphasis of staff wor k should be on consolidating existing studies, providing technical competency to co~ittee deliberations, outlining policy options for the commi ttee, and building mechanisms for follo~-through of recommen dations . Full-time core staff of severa l persons vou d e necessary , su7p e~ented by shor t- term s taff ~~0 ~·ould likely r.c.ve specific s~~ ills in particular c.r e a s. The committee should draw upon some or all of the staffing assistance : 6. foll~7ing sources for 1) appropri ate personnel from the organizations represented on the committee 2) accounting and consulting firms 3) colleges and universitie s 4) nonprof it organizations such as Citizens Research Council , development organi zat ions, business and labor association s, and others from throughout the state . supple~ental \,"'ha t is the Proiected Start-Up Date and Pronosed Term? Ass~~ing successful recruitwen t of outstate business and labor leadership during the nex t several weeV.s, a target date for the initial meeting ha s been set for early June . It is e:>.-pected tha t the full corrrrnittee -vwuld mee t on a bi -monthly basis after that . It is recowmende d that the term be 8-12 mon ths, ~ith the possibility of extension base d on progres s an d potential. This should alloY.' sufficient time to analyze problems, ~a ke certain recommenda tions, and initiate the proces s of imp]e ~e ntation. �7. ~~at Are the Estimated Funding Reauirements and Proposed Sources of Funding? J.l t h ouF-h a budget for the proposed effort has not yet been developed, it is es t ic ~ ted t h at the financial requirements for the base period of a year or so would be approximately $500,000. It is suggested that during this base perioc no public dollars be solicited or u sed. P~ther, private funds should be used to underwrite operating expenses of t he comrrdttee. The recommended source of financial support is foundation £ran ts -- p referably from Michigan-based foundations. This would have the virt ue of being a relatively neutral source of funding, th e reby helping to dep oliticize the process. Be yond the initial base period of a ye ar or so, should a more permanent effort be s t ructured, it is eh~e cted th at f unding mechan i sms other than foundation suppor t ~auld be develope d. 8. ~na t i s Reoueste d o f th e Counci l o f Michigan Found a tion s? i s request ed.

Mott Foundation RE: Michigan Emergency Cash Flow Loan Fund DATE: April 22, 1982 I respectfu ll y request that the Board of the Council of Michigan Foundations, after appropriate review, endorse the concept behind this project and encourage its member organizati ons t o consid e r participating in this project based on their individua l pri o riti es . Description of Project The purpos e of the Michigan Emergency Cash-Flow Loan Fund is to provide shortterm loans to nonprofit organizations in the state which are experiencing cash flow problems as a result of the economy and cutbacks in government funding. The fund will assist nonprofits with cash flow problems caused by delayed or reduced reimbursements or payments of grants and contracts, unforeseen cash requirements and inadequate cash-flow planning-- problems that threaten immediate shut down or dramatic curtailment of services . It i s proposed tha t requests fo r as si stance in this two-year pilot program shall be considered only from human service agencies whos e services are critical to the maintenance of employment, family life and the health need s of th e residents of Michigan . Although it may provide programs with strong human service components, an agency with a basic arts and cultural enrichment orientation does not qualify as a human service agen cy. A loan recipient mu st also be a Michigan nonprofit organization whos e services are performed in Michigan and nonreligious in nature . The organization must have current public charity status under IRC Sections 50l(c)(3) and 509(a) and the proceeds of the loan used to carry out a charitable activity as defined in IRC Section 170(c)(2)(b). The organization must have exhausted all other available resources for a loan before applying to this program . The Fund has three overall objectives : 1) To make available short- term funds to nonprofit organizations unable _to secu re lo ans from commerci al banks or other traditional sources at affordable rate s. 2) To stabilize budgets, and consequently program activities for existing nonprofit organizations. 3) To improve the overa ll financial management ski ll s of nonprofit organization s. �1~ Et-~OP. AtiD Ul~ : u rotr1y Johnso n April 22, 1982 Page two How Will The Project Accomplish Its Purpose For the first two years of this prog ram, the goal will be to make $500,000 in loan f unds available-- all of which will be guaranteed by the Michigan League for Hum an Services. The Michigan League will secure commitments from foundati ons and corporations, to cover any losses. The maximum loan will be fo r $30 , 000 with the anticipated average loan be i ng $15,000. The maximum time limit will be 180 days with the average for t he entire port fol i o of loans being 60 t o 90 days. In some cases recipie nts of l oans will need an interest subsidy . A loan comm i t tee ( see below) will be auth orized to approv e a lesser amount of interest or no in t e rest at all, if su ch action i s necessary to keep the loan with in th e af fo rdable limits of the borrower. Besides be i ng responsible for secu rin g the l etters of guara nty for th e $500,000 , the Michigan League will be responsibl e f or ra i sin g a fund of $50,000 annually to be used as interest reduction grants to 1 oan recipients recommended by the 1oan committee . Applications will be submitted to the Michigan League for Human Services whose staff will be responsible for working with the applicant to determine the proper amount to borrow, the affordable interest rate and the reasonable date for repayment . Staff will also assist the organization in completing the loan application papers and i n filling out an evaluation sheet for the loan committee . There will be a l oan committee responsible for all policy decisions concerning the Fund . Each contributing foundation or corporation wi ll have a seat Qn the committe e. Th e committee will be convened on a month l y basis in Lansing at the offices of the League and \'lill review and make final decisions on all loan applications. When a loan is in default, the committee will be responsible for drawing on the guarantees, taking into consideration the geographic orientation of some of the guarantors. The Mott Foundation's "geographic orientation" for this program will be statewide, whereas the Kalamazoo Foundation would be restricted to Kalamazoo if it chose to particiate. Because of its network of statewide offices, Michigan National Bank is being recommended as the participating lending institution. Michigan National would provide a bank officer to the loan committee as a non-voting advisor and will agree to make the loans specified by the comm ittee. Michigan National would handle the servicing of all of the loans at no charge. When the loan committee makes a favorable decision on an application, a letter will be sent to the aP.plicant outlining the conditions attached to the loan and requesting them to contact the nearest Bank office to formalize the loan . If defaults were to exceed the level of $100,000, the Michigan League for Human Resources and loan committee would halt the loan program and reevaluate the program's criteri a . In order to not create a run on the Fund, dissemination activitie s in thi s two-yea r pilot program will be held t o a minimum . All re cipients of loan s must agree to participate in a training program administered by the Michigan League in order to strengthen skills for dealing with cashflow problems. �11~ttDR i;out~ Do rotr y Johnson April 22, 1982 Page three Is the Project Needed? The nonprofit organizations in the state have been affected by the economy and cutbacks in government funding. To determine if an emergency loan program would help them, the Council of Michigan Foundations with support from the Mott and Webber Foundations contracted with the Michigan League for Human Services to do a Statewide Survey of Need in the Summer of 1981. The League surveyed 75 organizations which included local agencies, local umbrella organizations and statewide umbrella organizations. The survey results indicated an overwhelming need for an emergency loan program. (76% of the agencies surveyed had experienced substantial cash-flow problems.) The majority of organizations surveyed needed 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 layoffs of staff. Most (80%) indicated a definite or probable benefit from the establishment of an emergency loan fund. Their recommendations for the operating of a fund focused on quick processing of loan applications, interest below market levels, clear guidelines, accountability of loan seekers, and the provision of management and planning assistance to agencies experiencing cashflow problems. There are emergency loan .cund programs now in existence in most major citjes in the country . Most are operated on strict criteria where the loan is secured by some type of government contract . The Foundati ons-Corporations Emergency Fund Committee in San Francisco made 60 no-interest loans worth $759,633 in the period July 1, 1980 to June 30, 1981 and on e is now in default . The Committee reports it is expanding its definition of human services and focusing more on at-risk population s as a result of the policies of the Reagan Administration. In two years the Corporations/Foundations Emergency Fund of Los Angeles has provided $1.8 million in loans to 65 agencies with an estimated interest savings to them of $47,486 and only five defaults . The Los Angeles Fund has rolled over its $565,000 emergency fund three times. Staff there predict a decrease in requests because there are fewer agencies contracting with the government. The Donors Forum Emergency Loan Fund is administered by the Community Renewal Society in Chicago. It anticipates two defaults totaling $7,000 out of 35 loans totaling $295,000 made in 1981. The Fund starts charging a 1% interest fee after 90 days on the unpaid balance of any outstanding loan but is considering going to a higher interest rate. The Arts and Education Council of St. Louis has made $60,000 in loans in two years with no defaults. This is in part because the loans are person ally guaranteed by members of the Council. The Fund for the City of New York has mad e 580 loans since 1976 with two defaults -- loans made only against government grants or contracts. This proposed Michigan Emergency Loan Fund will be the first attempt to operate such a program on a statewide basi s. �Dorothy Johnson Ap ri 1 22, 1982 Page four The above examples illustrate how most funds are being operated. The proposed Michigan Fund is modeled after the Community Cash Flow Program of Denver developed by the Piton Foundation with the Technical Assistance Center and United Bank of Denver. The Denver program is unique because of the role of the Bank in servicing the loans. It is also unique because 48% of the loans made in the first year (1981) were made based on expected payback from the general cash flow of the organization as opposed to a specific secured grant or contract as most of the other Fund programs require in their criteria. Despite this higher level of risk, the Denver program has only had one default out of its first 25 loans made in 1981. As the other examples indicate, most fund programs do not require an interest payment. In the Denver program they do, but also offer an interest subsidy on the basis of the individual applicant. Interst subsidies amounted to $3,036 on those initial 25 loans. Even though this proposed Fund will operate on the higher risk level like Denver, the default rate should not reach 10%. Based on an average loan of $15,000, the proposed loan pool of $500,000 could serve up to 33 nonprofit organizations. The $50,000 interest subsidy fund will amply cover the need those nonprofits have for interest-reduction grants. What Is The Michigan League For Human Services The Michigan League for Human Services is a statewide citizen organization whose goal is improvement of human services. The League gives priority to meeting the needs of the unemployed, welfare reform, children and youth, social services to needy families, employment and manpower programs, health and nutrition and housing. The League emphasizes aid to local comm unities, and working through citizen committees, researches health and welfare problems and develops recommendations for solving these problems. The League has indicated that it would look for staff for this program who will have experience in both the banking and nonprofit communities .

Summarv Proposed CMF Information Syste_ms Program Todate, the CMF Informati on Systems Program has been organized t o help achieve aspects of all four key purposes of the Council: 1) exc},ange jdeas and information; 2) improve foundation effkiency; 3) inform the public; and 4) represent foundation interests. However, the primary responsibility of the Information Systems Committee has been purpose No . 3 . (See Appendix A.) Under this rubric, CMF has carried out a series of internally and external1y odented information activities, including grantsmanship seminars, publication of a Michigan Foundati on Directory, provision of annual report publishing services for foundations , and an ongoing liaison program with news media rE-presentati ves at state and national levels . The CMF Long Range Public Relations Task Force is generally supportive of these information activities . process and At the ~arne con1~nt time, the Task f'orce recommends a change in for the overall Jnformation Systems Progra m. This change h'ould rc:sull in the lnformatJon Systems Program targeting in on the crucial concerns \''hich relate more specifically to the overall 1 �mission of the Council. A series of "action steps" and corresponding programmatic activities have been developed to address 'each of the concerns. The presumption of this process is that: CMF and its members' priority concerns should, and will, determine the ongoing Information Systems efforts of the Council. Since concerns change in both content and priority with time, so should the related action steps and activities which they reflect. It is therefore suggested that the "statement of concern" approa ch be used to analyze and determine program activhies at lc.ast every three to five years. The following pages provide a o raft CMF Missi on Statement and outline the five critical concerns identified by the Public Relations Task Force as well as corresponding action steps and activities. It is recommended that this publi c relations plan now be considered by the CMF Board of Directors and the CMF Long-Range Planning Committee. Implementation of fin al programmatic activities would be the responsibility of the CMF staff and Infor mation Systems Committee. CMF Mission Statement: The private sector has a spedal role, responsi- bility, and potential for helping to address issues and problems in a free society. Foundations and corporate giving programs can and should be preserved and enhanced as part of such private sector iniliauves. The Council of Michigan Foundations is dedicated to that purpose. 1. S1c1 eme nl of Concern : Jnc. ·ca~ir,gly ht-a\.:.· deman d is being placed on the private sector for philanthropic support. .ZH the same time, the rate of "creation" of ne\,. foundations continues to decline. �Action Step: Increase Number of Grantmakers (Foundations, corporate giving, public awareness) Activities: a. Develop a marketing plan with the Michigan Bar Association and Bank trust departments to reach potential founders. (This program would be designed not to compete with smaller gift solicitation by community foundations and United Ways.) b. Dev elop a "How to Establish a Private Foundation" brochure c. Address community leader forums to reach this same group and to explain and encourage their philanthropy d. Hold peer group meetings of such special constituencies e. Develop a · prog:r-am of one-on-one sessions w"ith Dotenti al donors f. Hold open session for potential donors at annual meeting, possibly by invitation a. Wri1 e and place articles in spt-cially targete d publications \\'hich are rr-ad by po1 entia] donors/founda tion creators 3 �2. Statement of Concern : Local, state and national, political and legislative leaders are responsible for both ensurii)g and expanding pdvate philanthropy's future. Yet these key individuals are too often unaware of foundation and corporate giving activities. Action Step: Increase Political Effect Activities: a. Continue to work with Michigan Congressmen on a group and individual basis, and through the l eadership of the CMF Conference Mandate Committee b.
