The Board of Trustees identified several reasons to do long range planning including -It assesses additional needs of Members -It identifies new opportunities and new resources -It allows CMF to explore realistic options -It provides for performance measurements beyond the annual measurements now made as part of the Plan of Work -It creates long-range action plans The Committee decided it was essential to attempt to draw as broadly as possible upon the experience and attitudes of CMF Members. Under the Committee's direction, a questionnaire was developed by the consulting firm employed to assist in the Strategic Planning effort, (Touche Ross & Company) and sent to all Members. In addition, representatives from Touche Ross & Company conducted interviews with CMF members who were selected by the Committee as representatives of various Member constituencies. At the June, 1984 Board of Trustees Meeting the Board approved the strategic direction of the organization as well as eleven specific goals. These goals, primarily in the service area, were adopted with the understanding that the level and quality of existing services and programming would continue. Task forces examined operating plans to meet each goal. The following report lists the goal and suggested methods to achieve the goal.

THESE WERE: AMONG ANNUAL GROWTH IN NUMBER OF MEMBERS GROWTH IN ASSETS OF MEMBERS REASONABLENESS OF CONTRIBUTION CATEGORIES MATCHING ENDOWED ORGANIZATION ASSET CATEGORIES WITH UNENDOWED ORGANIZATION ANNUAL GRANT CATEGORIES TIMING OF INCREASE EQUITABILITY FOR ALL MEMBERS THREE DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO INCREASING CONTRIBUTION WERE CONSIDERED. A MODEL WAS PREPARED TO TEST WHETHER OR NOT EACH APPROACH MET ANNUAL BUDGET PROJECTIONS REQUIRED TO ACCOMPLISH THE STRATEGIC PLAN. The strategic Planning Committee and Executive Committee recommend Scenario III, the specifics of which follow. �COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMBER CONTRIBUTION INCREASE PLAN (CONTINUED) - ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE MODEL ARE CONSERVATIVE AND DO NOT SHO W MEMBER COMPLIANCE WITH CONTRIBUTION INCREASES UNTIL THE 1987-1988 FISCAL YEAR. - GROWTH IN NUMBER OF MEMBERS, GROWTH OF MEMBER ASSETS AND TREATMENT OF CORPORATE MEMBERS ARE PROJECTED TO BE THE SAME UNDER EACH APPRO ACH . KEY ASSUMPTIONS ARE: MEMBERSHIP WILL INCREASE IN THE LESS THAN $200,000, $200,000 - $1 MI LLION, $1 - 5 MILLION AND $5 - 10 MILLION CATEGORIES AT A RATE OF 10 PERCE NT PER YEAR AS A RESULT OF THE MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN AND CMF EFFORTS TO STI MULATE NEW FOUNDATION/GIVING PROGRAM START-UPS. THIS IS APPROXIMATEL Y 12 NEW MEMBERS PER YEAR. SOME ATTRITION WILL OCCUR AS A REACTION TO INCREASING CONTRIBUTIO N. A FIVE PERCENT LOSS OF MEMBERSHIP IN THE ABOVE CATEGORIES IS PROJ ECT ED FOR 1986-1987. MEMBER FOUNDATIONS' ASSETS WILL GROW OVER TIME. THE MODEL ASS UME S THAT FOUNDATIONS WILL GRANT FIVE PERCENT OF ASSETS ANNUALLY AND WILL EARN AN EIGHT PERCENT ANNUAL RETURN. FIVE PERCENT OF MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE FORGIVEN ANNUALLY BECAUSE OF SOME ORGANIZATIONS' INABILITY TO PAY. �COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMBER CONTRIBUTION INCREASE PLAN CONTRIBUTION CATEGORIES WILL NOT BE REVISED.

MORE SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED TO SMALL FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATE GIVING PROGRAMS. THEREFORE, CMF's COST TO SERVE THE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SMALLER ASSET CATEGORIES IS GREATER. • LARGER FOUNDATIONS ARE ASSESSED A GREATER PERCENTAGE INCREASE BECAUSE THEY CURRENTLY CONTRIBUTE A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF ANNUAL GRANTS TO CMF AND THEY HAVE A GREATER CAPABILITY TO PAY. �COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMBER CONT~IBUTION INCREASE PLAN CONTINUED) - SCENARIO III IS THE RECOMMENDED CONTRIBUTION SCALE BECAUSE IT MOST EQ UITABLY INCREASES CONTRIBUTION. - THE RECOMMENDED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONTRIBUTION INCREASE IS AS FOLL OW S: ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE INCREASE IN CONTRIBUTION AND CORPORATE MEMBERS WILL BE MADE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. CHANGE IN STATUS OF MEMBERS WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO CONTRIBUTE AT THEIR NEW RATE FOR THE COMING FISCAL YEAR. OPTIONALLY, THEY MAY CONTRIBUTE AT HALF OF THE INC REASE FOR THE 1986-1987 FISCAL YEAR AND AT THE FULL NEW RATE BY THE 1987-1988 FISCAL YEAR. FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1987-1988 FISCAL YEAR. NEW RATE STRUCTURE WILL BE EXPECTED FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRIBUTIONS, MADE AS GRANTS, HAVE BEEN ARRANGED TO COVER SHORTFALLS IN MEETING PLAN IN 1985-1986 AND 1986-1987. - THE PLANNED INCREASE IN CONTRIBUTION WILL MEET THE STRATEGIC PLA N FUNDING REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRIBUTION IN THE 1987-1988 AND 1988-1989 FISCAL YEARS. �SCENARIO Ill ENDOftEO ORGANIZATION ASSET Sl ZE Leo a Than $200 , 000 $200,000- $1 Ml Ilion $1-$5 MilliOn $11-$10 Million $10-$25 Mill i on $26 - $100 Ml I I I on $100- $300 Ml I I I on $300- $111111 Ml I I I on $1 Billion and Greater CURRENT UNENDOftED ORGANIZATION ANNUAL GRANT RANGE Lao a Than $10,000 $10,000 - $50 , 000 $50,000 - $260,000 $250,000 $500,000 $500,000 - $750,000 $750,000 -$5MIIIIon $5 - $15 Ml I I I on $115- $60 Ml I I I on Ovar $50 Million AVERAGE ANNUAL GRANT SIZE 10,000 30,000 150,000 3711,000 625,000 2,875,000 10 , 000,000 32,600,000 50 , 000,000 PROPOSED MEMBER PERCENT CONTRIB AVG GRANT 75 200 450 700 1 , 000 2,000 3,000 5,000 12,000 MEMBER PERCENT CONTRIB AVG GRANT PERCENT CONTRI B INCREASE o. 75 1211 1. 211 117. 0.117 0.30 o. 111 o. 111 0.07 0.03 0.02 0.02 soo 1 .oo 0.43 0.27 0.24 0.10 0.06 0 . 02 0.04 44" 43. 50"' 150. 117"' 110"' 117"' 0.24 1160 1,000 1, 600 3,000 15,000 8,000 20,000 O.SB so• �SC£HAAIO III I UHEO\W.

Herbert Kay Jensen Ted L. Johnson Donald A. Lindow W. Calvin Patterson James M. Richmond Ranny Riecker William S. White Dorothy A. Johnson, ex-officio Re: Strategic Planning Committee Report and Recommendations The following report details operating plans for the eleven initiatives approved at the June 15, 1984 Board of Trustees meeting recommended by the Strategic Planning Committee: Section I Section II Section III Operating Plans Financial Plan Strategies, Assumptions & Cost Implications Revenue Sources & 1985-86 Revenue Analysis If you have any questions before the meeting please call me. GH/sh �COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS STRATEGIC PLAN - 1985-89 Strategic Planning Committee Recommendations to Board of Trustees Section I At the 1983 Members Meeting the Board of Trustees announced that a Strategic Planning Committee had been formed to provide for continued success of the organization by determining the basis for policy, planning and general resource allocation over the next four years. The Board of Trustees identified several reasons to do long range planning including -It assesses additional needs of Members -It identifies new opportunities and new resources -It allows CMF to explore realistic options -It provides for performance measurements beyond the annual measurements now made as part of the Plan of Work -It creates long-range action plans The Committee decided it was essential to attempt to draw as broadly as possible upon the experience and attitudes of CMF Members . Under the Committee's direction, a questionnaire was developed by the consulting firm employed to assist in the Strategic Planning effort, (Touche Ross & Company) and sent to all Members. Ninety-five Members (60%) completed the questionnaire, considered by the consultant to be an excellent response . In addition, representatives from Touche Ross & Company conducted interviews with seven CMF members who were selected by the Committee as representatives of various Member constituencies . At the June , 1984 Board of Trustees Meeting the Board approved the strategic direction of the organization as well as eleven specific goals. These goals, primarily in the service area, were adopted with the understanding that the level and quality of existing services and programming would continue. Following that meeting task forces examined operating plans to meet each goal . The following report lists the goal, suggested methods to achieve the goal and the cost implications as recommended by the Strategic Planning Committee. An operating budget for each year through 1989 and a discussion of the cost implications follows the goal section. �-2- Goal: To add a fifth purpose to the Council of Michigan Foundations statement of purpose: "To increase private and community foundation and corporate grantmaking resources in the state of Michigan" Suggested Methods: Private Foundations 1. Form committee of private foundation donors who would advise on how to proceed with project, seeking donor to chair the committee who would work with his/her peers. 2. Seek private foundation donor in each geographical area (using CMF Trustees and Members) who would provide leadership in their area. Such an individual might target likely prospects over a several year period. 3. Cooperate with Michigan Bar Association and Michigan Bankers Association as well as other associations to be identified to inform their members about the benefits and how to create a private foundation. Activities might include CMF course offering on the subject as part of Associations regular conference schedule. 4. Circulate "How to Create a Private Foundation" brochure throughout the state. Community Foundations 1. Assist local communities in formation of community foundation on request or assist in merger of two or more community foundations. 2. Because the state is fairly saturated with community foundations (other than the Upper Peninsula) the emphasis of this purpose would be on providing assistance to increase the resources available to each community f oundation. Corporate Grantmaking 1. Document existing corporate grantmaking activity in the state of Michigan. 2. Recruit business leaders of all size corporations to discuss with their peers the benefits of corporate giving. �-33. Showcase the "merit of corporate giving" in publications and business/association meetings in the state . 4. Work with Michigan State Chamber of Commerce and local Chambers to increase the number and size of corporate giving programs. 5. Establish a Committee of corporate representatives to advise on the project . Cost Implications : Human Resources Publications & Printing $5,000 $1 , 000 Goal: Launch an aggressive membership campa1gn Suggested Methods : Experience has proven that the most effective campaign is to have a current CMF Member make the membership request to a potential member, with all the supportive materials . Foundations 1. Establish personal contact with 100 largest Michigan foundations not belonging to CMF regarding membership using CMF trustees and current members. 2. Undertake campaign for foundations with assets of less than $1 million by mail, followed by personal contact by geographic area. 3. Seek professional advice on membership request letters to be sent along with CMF brochure. Corporations 1. Establish information sheet on why corporation should join CMF outlining CMF services to corporations. 2. Seek membership from the 100 largest corporation s in the state. 3. Ask CMF Member in key geographical areas to host meeting and/or luncheon to discuss CMF . 4. Include 200 largest Michian corporations on CMF mailing list. �-4Community Foundations 1. Contact in person five community foundations in the state not currently member (assets less than $200,000). Cost Implications: Human Resources Publications & Printing $3,000 $ 500 Goal: Expand services to corporate grantmakers Suggested Methods: Immediate Priority 1. Continue Annual Corporate workshop. 2. Prepare notebooks on corporate contributions management topics. The first might be Michigan Corporation emp loyee matching gift programs. 3. Plan timely forums on specific community needs for example Detroit ZOOi Proposition C; etc. 4. Develop Michigan-based standards for grantees of what is needed in grant proposal . Consider as Circumstances dictate 1. Capital Fund Drive Survey. 2. Membership surveys (state-wide) to determine who else has received a particular request. 3. Periodic reports on Michigan based non-profit organizations made by request of CMF Member. Explore feasibility of project, perhaps combining efforts with Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce, Detroit Public Library, United Foundation and/or others. Project might include fact sheet on each non-profit organization which might include advance notice of major funding requests. 4. Explore grant proposal review service. Beyond-scope of current long-range plan 1. Presentation of joint funding possibilities. Cost Implications: Human Resources Publications & Printing $10,000 $ 1,000 �-5Goal: Expanded services to community foundations Suggested Methods : 1. Develop community foundation operating manual with sample forms in form which may be added to and amended . 2. Compile a list of available experts in fields of probable community foundation interest such as development, newsletter preparation, slide presentations and deferred giving arrangements . Update every six months . 3. In addition to Annual Conference and Winter School sessions sponsor workshops or speakers which would benefit community foundation members in areas of specialized training. 4. Expand commu nity foundation Memo t o Members and increase frequency as needed . 5. Expand community foundation visitations . Cost Implications : Human Resources Publications & Printing $4,000 $ 800 Goal: Expanded services to Trustees within current programming Suggested Methods : 1. Plan trustee workshop for annual conference . 2. Highlight current CMF programs a n d service s of particular interest to Trustees. 3. Continue CMF mailing service to interested Trustees . 4. Facilitate small group meetings of Trustees as interest dictates. Cost Implications: Support under current budget Goal: Services to unstaffed foundations should be emphasized Suggested Methods: 1. Unstaffed foundation Members be surveyed by mail, phone and on-site visit as feasible to ascertain specific requests . �-62. Aspects of all CMF services and seminars affecting unstaffed foundations will be emphasized. 3. Ascertain whether or not meetings of unstaffed foundations in prescribed geographic area would be useful. 4. Facilitate meetings between unstaffed foundations. 5. Consider ''Board meeting" visitation program. Cost Implications: Human Resources $3,000 Goal: Grantee Issues Continue cooperation with grantees as long as it is in CMF Member's best interest and does not commit much CMF time and resources. Suggested Methods: 1. Continue Michigan Bell Grantsmanship Seminar Series sponsored in cooperation with Michigan League for Human Services and local agencies. 2. Make information packets: Directory brochure, Survey, Proposal Process brochure, etc. available on request to public. 3. Publish Directory/Survey. 4. Explore feasibility of "Grantmaker's Public Meeting.'' Cost Implications: Support under current budget Goal: Current program services are to be continued and promotion for all services should be increased. Suggested Methods: 1. Recruit assistance in revising CMF brochure/annual report to highlight scope and variety of activity. 2. Consider development of promotion materials for all CMF audiences-- for example, CEO's, support staff, bankers, small unstaffed foundation truste es, etc. Cost Implications: Publications & Printing $125 �-7Goal: Establish "Advisory Cabinet" of retired CMF Board The Board of Trustees determined that the Advisory Cabinet should be established immediately to take advantage of the 12th Annual Conference. Seventeen Members have agreed to be on the first Cabinet, which will be announced at the Conference. Cost Implications: Support under current budget Goal: Consider suggested "standards of practice" Suggested Methods : l. The CMF Board of Trustees request a meeting with the Council on Foundations "Pr inciple s & Practices" Committee. 2. Board or designated committee prepare list of suggested standards of practice for review by the Board. Upon acceptance such standards will be presented to the membership. 3. Technical Assistance and packets of information on subjects covered in principles and practices will be part of CMF resource files. Cost Implications: Support under current budget Goal: Change name of Council . of Michigan Foundations as Board of Trustees considers timely. Suggested Method: 1. On-going - review by Board of Trustees. Discussion at CMF meetings and workshops as appropriate. Cost Implications: Support under current budget �Section II Financial Plan Strategies 1. Include all on-going, relevant CMF program initiatives within operational budget. Such activities would include all staff, materials, facilities and related costs for on-going Trustee approved program. For example -- staff, rent, telephone and publication expenses of The Michigan Scene . 2. Establish ''Special Projectn fund for those initiatives which are of a temporary nature and may be funded by one or more members. Such activities would include studies, such as that undertaken on the payout, legislative history, and office automation project . Financial Plan Assumptions 1. Administrative expenses will grow with inflation and small addition of direct expenses associated with increased membership per year. Increase shall amount to 10% for first year of plan and 6% thereafter. One full - time staff person shall be added during 1985-86. 2. Annual Conference fees shall cover all expenses plus a contribution to overhead expenses to be determined annually by the Board of Trustees. 3. Workshop/Seminar fees shall cover all direct costs. 4. Membership Contribution scale will be revised based on preliminary suggestions to be submitted at November 7, 1984 Board of Trustees meeting for discussion. �-2- Cost Implications OPERATING BUDGET Human Resources The Strategic Planning Committee considered to provide the human resources necessary to the recommended goals and methods including staff person with CMF Committees; volunteer loaned executive from CMF Member. three options implement an additional help and The Strategic Planning Committee recommends that an additional staff person be retained during 1985-86. Currently the CMF staff includes three full-time persons and a free-lance editor. If a staff person is retained there would be a shifting of responsibilities within the current staff, however the following new functions would be undertaken: -Expand services to corporate grantmakers (workshops~ manuals, special need forums) -Community Foundations (Assemble operating manual, identify technical resources) -Coordinate increased giving purposes (Work with donors, corporate CEO's, Associations) -Coordinate major membership drive (Personal contact with largest 100 corporations in state and 100 largest foundations not currently members; Mail campaign with local phone call followup for foundations less than $1 million) As usual~ CMF Committee would provide ideas, direction and receive timely progress reports. Cost Implications: Compensation & Benefits $25,000 Occupancy Currently CMF is housed in 600 square feet in an old firehouse presently used as a non-profit center. Annual rent is $2,000. Unfortunately there is no additional space in the building and CMF is extremely cramped for file space (one staff member in 9 x 9 room with copier; five files 7 etc.) As part of the Strategic Plan it is wise for CMF to plan to increase its space to 1,000 1,200 square feet. (Discussions are currently underway with two local CMF Members to consolidate space~ but the specifics are not known at this time.) Cost Implications: $4,000 �-3Publications & Printing The operating buaget is based on the assumption that The Michigan Scene will no longer be a specialized project, but part of CMF's operating budget, a Information Systems Committee recommendation. The cost is budgeted at $12,000 ($6,000-printing; $6,000 free-lance editor). Other printing would be in association with CMF projects: CMF Annual Report; resource material; workbooks. CMF is extremely fortunate ' to have the assistance ' of Robert E. Hencey, Director of Communications, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, who has designed conference materials and miscellaneous brochures in recent years. Ideally this will continue, but if this volunteer talent is not available, costs will increase substantially. Cost Implications: TMS Other $12,000 $ 3,425 (over 2 years) SPECIAL PROJECTS Computer/Word Processing CMF has engaged Price Waterhouse to assess computer/word processing needs of the organization and to recommend appropriate software. Such equipment is needed for numerous functions -- directory, statistics, survey, accounting, membership records, etc. as has been and will be delineated. Until the Price Waterhouse report is received the exact costs will not be known but for planning purposes $20,000 will include equipment, software and assistance in loading data. $20,000 Cost Implications: Information It is anticipated that the Michigan Bell Grantsmanship Seminar Series will continue. Like all special projects, it will only be undertaken on approval of the Board. Cost Implications: 1985-86 $10,000 �Section III Revenue Potential A. Increase Membership The Strategic Planning Committee recommends an aggressive membership campaign be undertaken·· during 1985-86 . New member revenues in recent years have amounted to $3,000-$4,000 annually. The Committee has reviewed potential members lists from foundations, corporations and banks and ascertains a level of $5,000-$6,000 for each of the next four years . B. Adjust Contribution Scale The major source of revenue will come from an adjustment in the contribution scale. Two preliminary scales will be introduced at the Board of Trustees meeting for discussion which will include the following factors: -Major change for corporate giving programs (currently $225]year to reflect major increase in corporate services) -Major change for banks (currently $225/year reflecting their corporate interest in giving - Continued small fee for small foundations to gain their interest and commitment - Continue to base schedule on reasonable % of grants weighted by size of foundation -Comparison of other grantmaking associations -Value of CMF purposes and services C. Solicit Additional Contributions In recent years more than 20 Members have made additional contributions ranging in size from $50 - $4,000 . It is anticipated that this practice will continue in light of Member)s commitment to the purposes of the organization. �-2- D. Special Purpose Grants Contributions ~ill be sought for board approved projects of short duration which will not reoccur. Note: A use of all four strategies is in order. The Council on Foundations supports a $4.2 million budget with use of membership contributions, Program Development Fund and special project fund drives. Independent Sector uses membership contributions and special project fund drives. Other Regional Associations also use a package approach with the large foundarions and corporations taking a proportionate share of the load recognizing their commitment to the field of philanthropy. �1985-86 Revenue Needs Analysis $54,620 in additional revenue must be received in 198586 over that budgeted/received in 1984 -85 if the Strategic Planning Committee recommendations are to be implemented. Expense Summary Occupancy (Change necessary with or without provisions of Strategic Plan) $ 4,000 The Michigan Scene (TMS approved by Board of Trustees to become part of operating budget) $12,000 Additional Staff Person and Benefits Corporate Initiative Membership Campaign Initiative Community Foundations Initiative Unstaffed Foundations Initiative $25,000 Publications & Printing (to be expended over two years) $ 3,425 New Grantmakers Materials Membership Materials Corporate Materials Community Foundation Materials Promotion Materials $1,000 $ 500 $1,000 .$ $ BOO 125 Annual Increase for projects & Inflation Total $10,195 $54,620 Potential Revenue Summary $ 6,000 $33,620 $15,000 Increase Membership Adjust Scale Additional Contributions Total $54,620 �Council of Michigan Foundations Strategic Planning Oudget Projections 1985-1989 REVENUE 1983-84 Actual Operat~ng Member Contributions Add~tional Contributions Interest Miscellaneous Conference Revenue Small Conference Revenue Publicatio n Sales Total Operat~ng Revenue TOTAL REVENUE Plan------------------------------------1985-86 19H6-87 1987-88 1988-89 90 ,000 14,030 2,500 400 37,000 3 ,000 6,000 152,930 $158,650 ~168,950 $179,750 $191,800 3 , 000 500 45 ,000 5,500 6,000 218 ,650 3,500 600 47,000 7,500 15,000 242,550 3,700 650 49,000 8,000 10,000 251,100 4,000 700 51,000 9,000 7,000 263,500 22,065 24 , 700 29,025 75,790 21,730 10,000 15,000 46,730 10,000 20,000 10,000 10,000 12,000 30 ,0 00 10,000 10,000 12,000 243,923 199,660 248,650 252,550 261,100 275,500 73 , 668 1,980 1,842 35,622 4 , 987 14,292 22 , 253 154 , 644 81,650 2,000 2,775 32,000 3,000 6,000 25,505 152,930 114,650 6 ,0 00 17,000 40,000 5,500 6,000 29,500 218,650 121,600 6,000 17,000 41,000 · 6,500 15 , 000 32,450 239,550 128,900 6,000 17,500 42,000 7,000 10,000 35,700 247,100 137,000 6,500 18,000 43,000 7,500 7,000 39,500 258,500 21,666 25,390 28,790 75,846 21,730 10,000 15,000 46 ,730 10,000 20,000 10,000 10,000 12,000 30,000 10,000 10,000 12,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 252,550 261 , 100 275,500 $ 88,505 12,430 31212 858 43,934 5,07.6 14,168 16H,l33 Special Projects (Note 1) Project A Project B Project C Total Special Projects Revenue 1984-85 Oudgeted ~ DISBURSEMENTS Operating Salaries & Benefits Occupancy Publications & Printing Conference Expense Small Conference Expense Publication Costs Other Operating Expenses Total Operating Expenses Special Projects (Note 1) Project A Project B Project C Total Special Projects Expenses Contingency Fund Allocation TOTAL DISBURSEMENTS FOOTNOTES Note 1 - Special Projects Project A Project B Project C (Note 2 ) 230 , 490 199,660 248,650 1983-84 Actual 1984-85 Budgeted Information Legislative Sp .

James M. Richmond Government Relations Committee Chairman CMF Bo a rd Resolution on u.s. Treasury Department's Proposed Changes to Charitable Tax Deductions The Council of Michigan Foundations strongly urges the President and the U.S. Treasury Department to maintain current tax treatment of contributions by American citizens to charity. The Council is aware that the U.S. Treasury has recommended changes in charitable tax treatment which would result in a reduction of gifts to charit¥ of nearly $12 billion a yeai. These changes would mean a 27 percent drop in donations to higher education and similar drastic declines in support of the arts and culture, United Way agencies, health and religion. The result would be to severely cripple the ability of American's non-profit human services organizations and other charities to help deal with a wide range of social problems and needs within our society. The Treasury Department's recommendations are contrary to this Administration's call for volunteers and voluntary organizations to play a larger role in helping people solve human problems and provide for community needs. The recommended tax changes contradict the basic purpose of the charitable deduction which has been to foster private giving for public purposes. The record shows that the deduction of charitable gifts has provided a significant incentive for increased giving. The importance of this deduction has been recognized for almost seventy years, having been passed by Congress in 1917 to foster private giving for public purposes. The Council of Michigan Foundations, therefore, calls on the U.S. Treasury Department to withdraw the charitable contributions proposals. The Council also urges the President and Congress to e x ercise their influence in seeking withdrawal of the Treasury proposals which impact charitable contributions in society. Note: Nancy Feller of the Ford Foundation has agreed to represent CMF at the INDEPENDENT SECTOR conference on the charitable tax proposals scheduled for January 28/29 in Washington, D.C. Next meeting: CMF Government Relations Committee meeting Thur sday, May 9, 1985, Mott Foundation offices, Flint, Michigan.

Background: Price Waterhouse was engaged in December 1984 to assess CMF's office automation needs. Their expert in small office systems interviewed the CMF staff and observed office procedure in order to document CMF's requirements, details of which are ava·ilable. Request for proposals were sent to IBM, DEC and Wang. Upon their submission PW and the CMF staff met with the three vendors and software distributors to evaluate the proposed systems. Reference checks have been made and on-site visits will be made before order would be placed. Laura Davis, Assistant Vice President, W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Thomas W. Herbert, Vice President, Kresge Foundation assisted informally throughout the process.

Davis, Assistant Vice President, W.K. Kellogg Foundation prepared the following analysis for the Executive Committee. She met with the committee on January 21 , 1985 to answer questions about the recommended project. M E M0 R A N D U M January 21, 1985 Advantages of a Wang VS System Versus a PC Network System WANG VS (Mini-Computer System) PC (Micro Computer Network) 1. Easier to understand and use. 1. Less sophisticated operating system requiring more operator training and technical assistance for fine tuning. 2. Proven operating system for a multi-user and multitasking system . 2. Networking capabilities with 2-3 workstations is a relatively new technology that will present some complications. 3. Flexibility and expandability of main memory, disk memory, workstations and printers. Easier to add more memory. 3. Limited main memory and disk memory capacity. 4. Growth potential much better and easier. 4. Cost for additional boards, cabling, and peripheral features are oftentimes hidden. 5. A mini-computer environment . 5. PCs were not designed and often lack the horsepower to become distributed processing systems. 6. More office automation software ~hich works toward a totally integrated word processing-data processing system. These functions are completely separate on a PC. 6. Required PC networking software (overhead) may detract from available memory and user response times. �7. Current and future system support (marketing, technical training, etc.) resides with one organization. 8. Enhanced system security and controls. 9. More processes requiring human intervention are ma naged by the operating system . 7. PCs require several support organizations based upon what hardware/software is purchased and from whom . Full s e cur ity f eatures (logon, password, file protect , record protect) may not be supported. 9. PC environment may require more user file (floppy disk) handling and human intervention. 10. Improved system performance (throughput) c·ompared to a PC configuration. 10. File recovery procedures may be more complicated. 11. PC capabilities can be added as a workstation option. 11. Some PC networks will not support shared modems . 12. Users may be restricted to certain applications while another person is on the system. If data files are sharable, timing of data entry and data integrity may be of concern . 13. Implementing equipment, features, and future capabilities will oftentimes require much more technical assistance . 14. More limited technical support from vendor. W. K. Kellogg Foundation Laura A.

The termi- nation of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its members, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. -16- �Section 2.

Section 3. (1) To the extent that a Trustee, offi- cer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful -17- �on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. (2) Any indemnification under Sections 1 or 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Trustee, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in said Section 1 and 2.

This exhibition is conceived as a celebration of the 600th anniversary of the birth of Donatello, one of Europe's greatest sculptors. Works by Donatello, his colleagues, contemporaries and successors will be assembled from museums and collections throughout Europe and the United States. The exhibition will bring together and present works by all the major fifteenth century sculptors who were active in and near Donatello's time, particularly in Tuscany, and to provide a reassessment of Italian sculpture of the period. Approximately 100 sculptures, drawings and other works of art have been committed for loan by leading museums and collections in Italy, Austria, Germany, France, England and the United States. This exhibition will be the first major international exhibition in America ever devoted to Italian sculpture in Donatello's time. In addition to sculptures by Donatello, works by the other principal Tuscan sculptors, such as Jacopo della Quercia, Nanni di Banco, Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, Nanni di Bartolo, Michelozzo, Luca della Robbia, Bellano, Bertoldo, Adriano Fiorentino, Antonio Rossellino, Desiderio, and Mino da Fiesole will be included. Disparate types of sculptures, such as the portrait bust, Madonna and Child groups, other religious sculpture, reliefs and medals will also be incorporated into the exhibition. The works displayed will focus on the period from about 1420 to about 1490. During this period, Florence was the leading center in Italy and the world for artistic production and patronage. The work of Donatello and his contemporaries provided high standards of achievement which artists of the next generations, including Raphael, Michelangelo, Bronzino and Bandinelli, could strive to emulate. The exhibition will also include works \:>y younger Quattrocento Italian sculptors in other Italian centers, as well as Florence. These works will demonstrate the range of problems and achievements represented in Italian early Renaissance art. �A scholarly catalogue will be written and educational programs for the exhibition such as films, slide packets, didactic panels, photomurals and brochures will discuss artistic interrelationships among Renaissance sculptors, architects, and painters; the training of the Renaissance artist; and the materials and working processes for making sculpture in the fifteenth century. These displays will be arranged to fascinate people of all ages and backgrounds by integrating technical and aesthetic information into one unified, educational program. From a scholarly standpoint, the exhibition will investigate areas hitherto not fully examined of Italian, and .particularly Tuscan, fifteenth-century sculptural styles, subjects, materials, and techniques. It will proceed from the art of Donatello, the greatest of the Quattrocento sculptors, to consider his colleagues, rivals and followers in the field of sculpture, among them Ghiberti, Luca della Robbia, Alberti, Francesco di Giorgio, Bertoldo, Rossellino, Desiderio, Mino, and Verrocchio. In addition, the exhibition will demonstrate the ri~hness and variety in Italian early Renaissance sculpture by presenting fiftee~th-century masterworks of the highest quality, never before shown in one exhibition. This will be a unique opportunity for comparison and analysis of sculptures by major Quattrocento masters, some of them well documented, others often problematic. It is hoped that the Internati~nal Congress of Art Historians, which will be held in Washington, D.C. during September, 1986, will be able to devote sessions to the analysis of new problems which ~ill come to light as. a result of this exhibition. �The National Gallery of Art and The Detroit Institute of Arts have two of the finest collections of Italian Renaissance sculptures in the world and are particularly familiar with organizing major international exhibitions of Italian art, such as North Italian Engravings, The Twilight of the Medici, and The Golden Age of Naples. By organizing Italian Renaissance Sculpture in the Time of Donatello, both institutions will be able to encourage other major European and American museums to participate in lending important sculptures to this exhibition. The many types of relief Madonnas by, attributed to, or influenced by Donatello have, for example, never before been gathered together for public appreciation and scholarly study. Moreover, as a result of r~cent research, a new examination of artistic style and chronology during the emergence of the Florentine Renaissance, with particular reference to Donatello C;lnd his influ~~ce, is planned for the exhibition. · This exhibition will be a major international show with a scholarly catalogue enlisting the services of the finest Renaissance scholars from Europe and America. Professor H.W. Janson, author of the classic monograph on Donatello, was actively involved with the organization of the exhibition from 1979 until his death in September, 1982. Professor Janson's ideas for revising his Donatello monograph, as well as those of other leading Renaissance scholars, will be incorporated into the relevant portions of the exhibition catalogue. This exhibition will aim at creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for citizens and visitors in America to enjoy masterpieces of Italian early Renaissance sculpture and for scholars to analyze both the impact of Donatello's work upon his time and the nature of contemporary approaches to sculpture that were different from his. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement Background In 1977 the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) Members directed the Board of Trustees to develop a public information program in support of Michigan foundation philanthropy and to institute a plan to communicate with public policy makers. A Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established for this purpose. The Government Relations Committee has surveyed the CMF Members on their legislative interests and priorities on a ti mely basis. There continues to be a concensus that this is the time for foundations to continue working to make 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. CMF has worked with Member foundations. the Council on Foundations and other Regional Associations tu bring about changes in the mandatory payout to a flat five percent. a reduction in the excise tax for private foundations and a ch a nge in the limitation on gifts to private foundations and several other provisions pertaining to private foundations contained in the 1984 tax bill. The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial legislative statement on March 1. 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19. 1980. January 27. 1982 and May 10. 1983. ACTION NECESSARY- June 14. 1985 The Government Relations Committee presents the following analysis of the . current statement with proposed action for your consideration. Upon approval a revised legislative statement will be prepared. HIGH PRIORITY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES 1. Goal: Change the 20% limitation on gifts to a private foundation to 50%. �Explanation: Under existing law. the amount deductible by an individual taxpayer for contributions to non-operating private foundations cannot exceed 20% of the gifts of appreciated property or 30% or gifts of cash of the donor•s 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 base for gifts to public charity . Recommendation: 2. No change in goal. acknowledge progress. Goal: Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer to a private foundation on certain capital gain property. Explanation: Under existing law. individual taxpayers can make a gift of appreciated property of publicly traded stock if the gift is less than 10% of the outstanding stock of a company and receive a deduction for the full amount given. However in other cases the amoun t of the gift must be reduced by 40% of the amount of the appreciation if given to a non-operating private foundation. It should be pointed out that the same gift to a public charity entitles a taxpayer to a deduction for the full amount given. Recommendation: 3. Goal : Make the five year carry-forward on excess charitable contributions by individuals and corporations applicable to such contributions to non-operating private foundations. Explanation: Passed into law 1984. Recommendation: 4. Remove from statement. Goal: Establish a small grant rule. which would allow grants for charitable purposes of under $25.000 to be free of expenditure responsibility . Recommendation: 5. No change in goal. acknowledge progress. Retain Goal: Seek relief from the first level penalty tax for unwi llful or inadvertent mistakes. Some foundation manager s and advisors honestly make a mistake without malice- of-forethought. They are severely penalized and some lawyers suggest relief from the first level penalty . Explanation: In Secretary of the (except for self reasonable cause 1984 authority was granted for the Treasury to abate first-tier penalty taxes dealing) if the violation was due to and is corrected. �Recommendation: reasonable. 6 0 Goal: Remove from statement. 1984 response Place a limitation on who is a diaqualified person. Explanation: In 1984 a law was passed that lineal descendants of disqualified persons who are considered members of the individual's family and. ther~fore. disqualified persons. are limited to the individual's children. grandchildren and great-grandchildren and their spouses. The law further states that substantial contributors to a foundation will not retain that status if, over a 10 - year period, they made no further contributions to the foundation, do not manage it, and their total contributions are considered insignificant in light of subsequent growth in foundation assets. Recommendation: Acknowledge progess. however work towards having a disqualified person no longer so classified after grandchildren. 7. Goal: Pursue change of certain Internal Revenue Service regulations which pose hardships on public charities and jeopardize 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. Explanation: The Treasury has been directed to extend the advance ruling period during which qualifying new organizations are considered public charities to five years. and to amend its regulations to permit greater reliance on IRS classifications concerning new organizations during the first five years of their existence. Recommendation: Continue goal. in light of revised regulations which are now being considered by Treasury as presented by lawyer's group representing private foundations. 8. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at 5% as not to diminish the real value of a foundation's grantmaking capability. Recommendation: Add "at not more than 5% 11 �9. Goal: Support relaxation of the public support test for community foundations. Recommendation: Continue RECOMMENDED NEW HIGH PRIORITY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES 1. Goal: Support the creation of new foundations and the tax incentives which enhance the desirability of a donor to create a foundation. Explanation: This goal is a new and the fifth purpose of CMF. As plans for its implementation evolve other legislative priorities. not listed here. may evolve. The Council on Foundations is currently studying the birth and death rate of foundations in a joint study with the Yale Institute on Non-Profit Management. The results of this study will also be helpful in strategizing future legislation helpful to the creation of private foundations. Recommendation: 2. Goal: Monitor effect of .65% administrative cost provisions of 1984 law and take whatever action may be appropriate to propose new provisions relating to administrative expense rules. Recommendation: 3. Adopt Adopt Goal: Reduce excise tax to a flat 1%, instead of the complicated formula now used which allows in some c a ses for a reduction from 2% to 1%. Explanation: The 1984 tax act allows that the excise tax will be reduced from 2 to 1 percent if the foundation's payout for the year in question equals or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets times the average payout percentage for the previous five years. plus one percent of the foundation's net investment income. Recommendation: Adopt OTHER LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES 1. Goal: Allow private foundations to charge their investment expenses to their required payout amount for charitable purposes. �Recommendation: 2. Goal: Exclude from the formula used to compute the exc1se tax on private foundation net investment income any capital gain realized in the fiscal year in question. Recommendation: 3. Continue Continue Goal: Support the right of foundations seeking relief to the excess business holdings requirement which states that a private foundation formed after 1969 must divest of its excess business holdings within five years. Explanation: The 1984 tax act states that the IRS may extend the dive~titure period for a private foundation formed after 1969. if they show good faith in attempting to divest during the five years and file a divestiture. plan. Recommendation: 4. Accomplished Goal: 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. Recommendation: Continue CMF ACTIVITY 1. Regularly communicate with elected officials of federal. state and local levels about foundation activities and concerns. 2. Encourage member foundations to report grants and activities to government officials. 3. Establish mechanisms to assist Member foundations to report their grants. 4. Continue discussions with Michigan Attorney General's Office regarding community and private foundation concerns. 5. Support public reporting for foundations. beyond the reports required by law. and provide technical assistance for those foundations seeking to print an annual report or guidelines. Assist in distribution efforts. �Recommendation: Continue above activity as well as undertake the following tasks. - Encourage Members in each Congressional District to meet as a group with their legislator when he is in district to discuss the contribution of co mmunity and private foundations and corporate giving in his District. - Have a meeting of all CMF Legislative Coordi n a t ors at Annual Conference each year. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Other Services This summer CMF will sponsor a session for private foundation Members at the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation on the administrative cost provision, which takes affect with fiscal years beginning in 1985. CMF will convene Members responsible for recent "Audit Experience Panel" to compile written materials useful for all private foundations in hopes of circulating a generic version. A final decision on publication will be made after all the material is assembled. Eight new services are being developed per the Strategic Plan as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8 Prepare notebooks on corporate contributions management topics. Develop community foundation operating manual with sample forms in format which may be added to and amended. Compile a list of consultants available to assist grantmakers on newsletter preparation, media, evaluation, and development. Consider board meeting visitation program whereby consenting grantmakers would invite guests to observe their board meeting. Survey unstaffed foundation members by mail, phone and on-site visit as to service requests. Facilitate meetings between unstaffed foundations. Consider "standards of practice" as requested by Members. Convene meeting of the Advisory Cabinet at 13th Annual Conference.
