Hooker Re : Government Relations Committee Report and Requested Action I. Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Issues Background : At the November 6 , 1986 Board of Trustees meeting the Government Relations Committee was requested to report on the feasibility of legislation in the state of Michigan providing personal liabil ity for volunteers working with nonprofit organizations. During the Committee's investigation we learned the following : - Twenty states, including Ohio, Illinois and California, now have l aws granting some form of immunity for volunteers. - National legislation, H.R. 911 , the "Voluntarism Protection Act," initiated by Congressman John Porter (R- IL ), would penalize states that have not granted increased immunity from personal liability to volunteers working f or nonprofit organizations and governmental entities . The bill proposes to reduce Social Services Block Program funds to states by one percent if they do not grant increased immunity to volunteers . - In the State of Michigan, legislation (Senate Bill 19) has been introduced which would amend the "Nonprofit Corporation Act" to provide that " a Director is not personally liable for monetary damages for a breach of the Director's fiduciary duty except" in a few instances detailed in the legislation (copy attached) . In the House the bill has been referred to the Judiciary Committee. Action Requested : Resolv ed, CMF support passage of Senate Bill No . 19 communicating with CMF Members, the Gover nor' s Office, legislature, and other interested parties . During the investigation, the Committee heard a presentation from a representative of a Michigan nonprofit coalition interes t ed in establishing a liability insurance pool covering general purpose liability . The Government Relations Committee encouraged them, when ready, to present the facts to the CMF Government Relations Committee . �II . IRS Proposed Lobbying Regulations On November 5, the IRS issued proposed regulations on lobbying expenditures made by public charities. Changes in the law which require the regulations were made in the Tax Reform Act of 1976 . The proposed regulations cover such areas as the definition of direct and grassroots lobbying, which grants made by private foundations and public charities will constitute lobbying expenditure, etc . Independent Sector is coordinating the response to these regulations and requested support for the following resolution by February 13, 1987 : "We strongly oppose the proposed regulations restricting the public policy influence of voluntary and philanthropic organizations . The regulations are inconsistent with the purpose of the 1976 Tax Reform Act and , if adopted, could severely limit the ability of these organizations to engage in public policy debates and traditional educational and grassroots activities. We urge the IRS to withdraw these proposed regulations immediately, and, instead , to form an advisory committee composed of representatives of the public and private sector to draft rules that will properly implement the 1976 act." More than 300 foundations and non-profit organizations signed the above resolution including CMF Members, the Hudson-Webber Foundation, W.K . Ke llogg Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and COF. The CMF Executive Committee approved CMF joining the list by mail ballot. Since then, CMF has worked with the Council on Foundations to present the case to House Ways and Means Member , Congressman Guy Vander Jagt (R- MI) and Willard J. Hertz contacted Senator Donald W. Riegle, Jr. (D- MI), a new member of the Finance Committee, who agreed to sign a " Dear Colleague" letter requesting that a hearing on the matter be held . III. Proposed Community Foundation State Income Tax Credit Background: CMF, on behalf of Michigan community foundations , submitted the attached proposal to the Governor, December 1 , 1986, suggesting a state income tax credit for contributions to community foundations . The draft proposal was approved at the June , 1986 CMF Board of Trustees meeting. Public Sector Consultants, Inc. advised CMF on the project. On February 3, 1987, the Governor delivered the State of the State, at which time he proposed: "The State Treasurer will evaluate the feasibility of a state income tax credit for those who donate to communi ty foundations. If this tax credit is determined to be fiscally prudent, it could encourage individuals who wish, through voluntary efforts , to improve the quali ty of life in their own communities ." �Necessary Next Steps : - Supply information to Treasurer's Office - Work wi th Governor ' s Staff to prepare wording for tax bill - Evaluate concerns of other non- profit organizations who desire similar legislation - Work with State Legislature Action Requested : Resolved , CMF engage Public Sector Consultants , Inc . to assist in these efforts . Attached contractual letter outlines tasks . Committee members will address Public Sector Consultants' credentials at the Board of Trustees meeting . It is anticipated that the requested fee would be part of the Increasing Philanthropy Revolving Fund and that Members who express an interest in the project would receive a proposal to support the efforts .

Hooker, Chairman Government Relations Committee State Legislation to Limit Volunteer Board Member Liability Representative Richard A. Bandstra (House-93rd District, Republican) met with some members of the committee to discuss SB-19. Since that time he has been in contact by mail and phone to discuss how CMF might be helpful in gain i ng acceptance of this legislation, particularly from House Judiciary Chairman Perry Bullard. A copy of the fourth version of the bill is attached for your information, along with a letter of request also received by Judith S. Hooker, Willard J. Hertz, John E. Hopkins, Ranny Riecker, Robert D. Sparks and Dorothy A. Johnson. CMF has informed interested members about the legislation and need for their comment. However, CMF cannot request private foundation members to contact their grantees about the issue because of the IRS regulations forbidding grass roots lobbying by private foundations. Private foundation members can contact legislators directly about their interest in the legislation, under the self-defense provision. CMF has informed community foundations and nonprofit associations who might be helpful. Representative Bandstra indicated on May 27, 1987 that the legislation is to be considered by the House Judiciary Committee within the next ten days and that a fifth version of the bill has been introduced. A progress report will be made at the · Board meeting. · Council on Foundations Requests Comment COF has requested comment from their members and Regional Associations about their proposed legislative strategy by June 10, 1987. In response, it is proposed that CMF share the adopted legislative statement and commitment to cooperate with the COF legislative network on matters of mutual interest. :984C �At t • .

Marshall III Willard J . Hertz W. Calvin Patterson III Gilbert Hudson Ranny Riecker Kay W. Hunt Leonard W. Smith Dorothy A. Johnson Proposed CMF Project Recommended Action: The Council of Michigan Foundations undertake a two-year special project to improve philanthropy. The project would be part of CMF's purpose "to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Michigan's philanthropic network ." The proposed two - year, $60,000 budget would be supported by interested CMF Members. The project would be compatible with CMF's purpose to increase philanthropic resources in the state and with national efforts to increase and improve philanthropy. Background A group of foundation and corporate representatives interested in philanthropy met in June, 1985 at the invitation of Russell G. Mawby to discu ss how to improve philanthropy in Michigan. Discussions incl uded beginning and/or enhancing undergraduate a nd graduate programs in nonprofit management; training programs for nonprofit board members; campus volunteerism; and public understanding of philanthropy. Brian O'Connell, President , Indepedent Sector, met with the group to share nee ds a nd responses in other parts of the country. During the last two years Task Force Members explored how various programs might work in Michigan. Programs to i mprove philanthropy could include: - Creation o f Michigan Center for Nonprofit Management - Courses for board members and spec i fic training sessions for board chairpersons - Encouragement of student community service activities - Undergr aduate and grad uate cour ses a nd degree s �- Advanced management courses for talented people already in the sector - Encouragement of research in academic disciplines - Identification of the basic body of literature so necessary to awareness, study and encouragement to community and academic libraries to secure and promote such materials - Governor's Award Program and much more . The Task Force recognized that - many of these ideas should be implemented by interested, committed educational institutions, associations and individuals . CMF, nor one foundation , wanted or could do it all . - many institutions and associations need to be made aware of the need and market for such programs . - it would be extremely helpful to have a coordination point, as well as an advocate encouraging development of programs and ideas. the project to improve philanthropy is compatible with CMF ' s efforts to increase philanthropy in the state in concert with national programs sponsored by Independent Sector and the Council on Foundations . Therefore, the Task Force proposes that CMF undertake this coordination/advocacy on a two-year basis. Program It is proposed that CMF undertake the project engaging the necessary part-time staff member to implement the program from August, 1987 August, 1989 . The individual would be responsible for the f o l lowing: - Develop written materials about the need and potential project to improve philanthropy - Share materials with institutions, associa tions and individuals who can be helpful - Meet with key persons in the interested insti tutions and associations to explore and encourage their interest - Share results of discussions with interested CMF Members - Facilitate directory of nonprofit technical assistance providers �The person hired would need to be a self-starter, with entreperneurial skills and interest in philanthropy, who relates well with the public and has good writing skills. The individual should be familiar with the nonprofit and educational communities, have respected credentials and be available for a two-year, part-time commitment. It is suggested that an Advisory Committee be established to advise on the project. Several Members of the Task Force have expressed an interest in serving on the committee . . Budget - 1 year Program Associate - half-time $16,000 Travel - Meeting Expenses 5,000 Publications/Materials 7,000 Other expenses - telephone, clerical, etc . 2,000 Po tent ial Sources of Support Many of the members of the Task Force have expressed an interest on behalf of their foundation or corporation to receive a proposal for a two -year contribution . If the project is adopted by the Board of Trustees, CMF Members would be asked if they would like to participate in the program . A similar approach was utilized for the increasing philanthropy project which resulted in contributions from nearly 100 members. What is Going On Elsewhere Many board members are aware or have read about the number of nonprofit centers that have been established around the country in recent years. The latest is the Center on Philanthropy sponsored by Indiana University and supported by a $4 million grant from the Lilly Endowment (see attachment) . Other Centers exist at Duke, Vanderbilt, City University of New York, Yale, Case Western Reserve, and the University of San Francisco . The Association of American Colleges is sponsoring a program again in 1987 to develop and teach undergraduate courses on philanthropy in American society . In 1986, nine awards of $15,000 each were made to institutions to underwrite the development of curricula, the preparation of course materials, the purchase of books, the provision of released time, etc . Seven awards are planned for 1987. CMF has learned that one Michigan institution applied for a grant, but it was not awarded (see attached letter). I~ should be noted. that whatever comes of the Michigan project, the Task Force is sincerely interested in not reinventing the wheel just to have a Michigan project; to have whatever center or projects are developed cooperate nationally; and not to have CMF operate programs, but only facilitate the concept to providers who, in turn, would provide their own expertise and ingenuity to the challenge. �A further endorsement for a Michigan effort comes from Robert L . Gale , president of the Association of Governing Boards , who, in recent remarks reported in The Chronicle of Higher Education - May 20 , 1987 , indicated that there are a growing number of unversity programs to study philanthropy . " He said , 'the time is here to study philanthropy , warts and all ' ... He called for more and better research and writing on the subject ." Continued Funding The special project is proposed to last two yea r s . Ideally , the idea of improving philanthropy will be well accepted by that time and several programs underway . At this time it is anticipated t h at CMF would have no need to continue funding .

The high volume of sales, CMF realizing financial solvency since taking over printing responsibilities and the need to keep grantees and the public supplied with current data, warrant this change. Edition V Update The Update of the fifth edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory is underway with release targeted for late August 1987. Format and information included will be similar to the previous Update. Michigan Foundation Center Collections Stevie Hertz, Foundation Center Regional Collection Volunteer for CMF, reported the "Regional Connection," a newsletter for foundation center regional libraries in Michigan, is a big succ e ss. The tabloid is published on a needs basis, one to be released soon . I t is a way for regional libraries to keep in touch, with each library supplying news. Sample Propos a l Book The sample priv a t e foundation, community f oundation and c o rpor ate· gi v ing program grant p r opos al book was compil e d at the r e que st of Michi g an Foundat i on Cent er Regional Co l le cti on librarians. �l It was presented to all those librarians in attendance at the 14th Annual CMF Conference in November 1986. Those collections not present were mailed a copy. The proposal book received rave reviews and was shared at the National Foundation Collection meeting at the Annual Council on Foundations meeting in Atlanta this spring. Since then CMF has received numerous inquiries to purchase the book. It is proposed that we refine and edit the proposal book, ma king it available nationally. The Foundation Center in New York will help alert Foundation Collections to its availa bility by listing it in their "Bookshelf" list and newsletter. CMF will promote the proposal book through the use of their mailing list of Michigan Public and Academic Libraries. Logos Associates Logos Associates, a Massachusetts based group, was discussed in regards to their marketing, for the second time, a Michigan Foundation Directory (Price $30). The first edition used CMF art work and information. It was suggested that CMF obtain legal advice and alert our membership about the Logos Directory. The Michigan League for Human Services will take charge of alerting grantees in the state. "Grantmaking for Results." Tim Skubick videotape from 14th Annual Conference The Tim Skubick videotape, "Grantmaki ng for Results," from the 14th Annual CMF Conference was viewe d and marketing plans discussed. An introduction and conclusion is to be added by Ranny Riecker subsequent to marketing to grantors. St ate of Michigan - Workshops for Government/Executive and Legislative Staff The proposed State of Mich igan workshops for government/executive and legislative staff were discussed. Two workshops are planned to inform government about philanthropy in Michigan in late fall, 1987 and spring, 1988. Media Relations - Editorial Board Meeting A July 7, 1987 meeting with the Detroit Free Press edi toria l board is scheduled to present current facts on foundations and philanthropy in Michigan.

May 22, 1987 Ms. Dorothy A. Johnson President Council of Michigan Foundations Sui te 3 One South Harbor Avenue P.O. Box 599 Grand Hav en, MI 49417 Dear Ms . Johnson: You have asked for our opinion on the federal tax treatment of expenditures by the Counci l o f Michigan Foundat ions ("CMF '') in connection wi th a proposed effort to persuade the Michigan Legislature to create a state income tax credit for contributions to community foundations. CMF is exempt from federal income tax under s ection 5 01( c )(3) and is a £ublic c harity described in sections 509(a0(1) and 170( b ) (1) . CMF has e lected to have its legislative activities gov erned by the prov isions of sections 501(h) and 4911. It has a substantial number of community foundations as members, but it i s itself not a community foundation. The e f fort you have in mind is outlined in your letter to us of April 27, 1987. It would inc l ude hiring a professional lobbyist, prepa r ation of materials concerning the proposed credit, con t acts with members o f the Legislature and with oth er c harities, and communications with CMF's own members. 1 All statutory r efer e nces are to the Interna l Revenue Code of 1986, un less otherwise stated. �(APLIN & DRYSDALE CHARTERED - 2 - Under section 50l(h), CMF is permitted to expend up to 20% of its total budget (up t o $1,000,000) for activities that are treated as "attempts to influence legi slation." Expenditures for attempts to influence the opinions of the general public (so-called "grassroots" efforts), as contrasted with contacts with the legislators, relevant executive branch officials, and thei r staffs, are subject to a sublimit of a quarter of the overall limit. Special rules apply to membership organizations, l ike CMF. Communications with members that are strictly informative, and do not encourage members either to contact legislators or the general, non-member public, do not count against the limits at all. Communications that urge members to contact legislators or their staffs count only against the overall total. Onl y those communications with members that urge the members to seek to persuade others in the general public to support (or oppose) legislation count as "grassroots" lobbying, charged against the lower limit . In addition, certain activities that are, broadly, legis lative in character are permitted, without regard to the limitations. The exemption that is most relevant here is the so- called "self-defense" rule . This rule exempts from the limitations all "direct" lobbying that an organization undertakes "with respect to a possible decision of [a legislature] which might affect the existence of the organization, its powers and duties, tax-exempt status, or the deduction of contributions to the organization" . Sec . 49ll(d)(2)(C) . "Grassroots" activity on such measures stil l counts against the lower limit. The exemption applies only to "direct" activity, i.e., communications with legislators, executive branch officials, and their staffs . However, because communications with members urging them to engage in "direct" lobbying count as "direct" lobbying by the organization, such membership communications are also exempt from the limits . In our opinion, the effort proposed by CMF falls within the "self-defense" rule, i.e., the proposed tax credit2 measure at issue qualifies as "a possible decision of [the Michigan Legislature ] which might affect the tax exempt status, or the deduction of contributions" to CMF, and hence, "direct" lobbying 2 Clearly, a ''credit" for gifts to an organization is an aspect of the tax status of the organization and of the treatment of contributions to it, even though not technically a "deduction." There is no evidence that Congress intended to treat credits and deductions differently for purposes of the "self-defense" exemption. �(APLIN & DRYSDALE CHARTERED - 3 - in connection with that effort is not "an attempt to influence legislation" within the meaning of the statute. The "self-defense" exception applies to the activity of CMF undertaken to promote a state income tax credit for contributions to certain tax-exempt members of CMF, but not to CMF itself. The initial version of the 1976 legislation said explicitly that the "self-defense" exception covered the tax-exempt status and contribution deductibility, not only of an organization itself, but of its members, if those members were themselves section 501(c)(3) organizations. H.R. 13500, 94th Cong., 2d Sess. § 2. Although this explicit language was omitted from the bill as passed, both Treasury and Joint Committee staff people stated at the time that the "self-defense" exception would still apply to "memberdefense." A rule to that effect was included in the proposed regulations published in November 1986. Prop. Regs. § 56.49113(d)(3). Although the proposed regulations have no legal force as such, until issued in final form, there has been no controversy about that provision~ and there is every reason to expect it to be included in the final regulations, when they are eventually published. We understand that this interpretation of the scope of the "self - defense" provision is shared by such organizations as the Council on Foundations, Independent Sector, and United Way of America, which routinely lobby on tax matters of concern to their exempt members. In summary: 1. Direct approaches to legislators, their staffs, and executive branch officials by CMF directors, staff or outside consultants or lobbyists would not be lobbying at all as defined in the statute, and would not count against the CMF ceiling on "direct" lobbying. 2. Contacts with CMF members would count against the "grassroots" ceiling only to the extent that they were urged to communicate about the proposed credit with grantees or others outside their own organizations . (The self-defense exception means that CMF communications with members that urge the members to contact legislators directly do not count as lobbying.) 3. Contacts with non-members would count as grassroots lobbying. You also asked about the effect of the project on the treatment, under section 4945, of grants to CMF from private foundations. There is a strong argument that grants from private foundatio ns to CMF earmarked for the state tax credit project �CaPLIN & DRYSDALE CHARTERED - 4 - would not be taxable expenditures under section 4945 by the grantors since the bulk of the activity is not, for tax purposes, treated as lobbying by CMF, so long as the individual foundation's grant does not exceed the amount of the tax credit project budget allocated for activities other than grassroots lobbying. A simpler approach, however, would be for foundation grantors to rely on the so-called Mcintosh ruling, IRS Priv. Ltr . Rul . 78 - 10-041 (Dec . 8, 1977), under which general support grants to CMF from private foundations can be used for CMF's lobbying without making the payments taxable expenditures by the grantor private foundations. As to CMF's limits, we understand that CMF has a total annual budget of about $400,000, all of it for activities that qualify as "exempt purpose expenditures . " That being the case, CMF's overall lobbying limit is $80,000 and its grassroots limit is $20,000 . (To the extent the tax credit project is financed by specially raised funds, so that it is additive to the projected budget, it increases the base. Sec . 491l(e)(l)(B)(ii). For example, if CMF raises the $65,000 projected budget for the credit project, that would increase the ceilings by $13,000 and $3250, for overall and grassroots, respectively . In that case, the applicable limits would be $93 , 000 for overall lobbying and $23,250 for grassroots. If you have any questions about this matter, please let me know. Walter B.

' Hooker, Chairman Willard J. Hertz John E . Hopkins Dorothy A. Johnson Ranny Riecker Robert D. Sparks Community Foundation State Tax Credit Proposal At the request of the Board of Trustees, following the February 26, 1987 board meeting, a sub-committee met to review the issues and strategy surrounding the implementation of the proposed community foundation state tax credit and to formulate a recommendation for the Board on how, if at all, to proceed with the strategy. The Sub-Committee was composed of individuals representing the Government Relations Committee and the community foundation membership. Historical Background In the spring of 1986, Jack Hopkins, Associate Director of the Kalamazoo Foundation, proposed that the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) investigate the feasibility of a tax credit for individual and corporate contributions to a community foundation in the State, similar to that currently in place for educational institutions, libraries and public broadcasting stations. The 27 CMF community foundation members were surveyed as to their interest and there was unanimous and enthusiastic agreement to proceed with the investigation .. The Government Relations Committee, then chaired by James M. Richmond, Vice President, W.K. Kellogg Foundation and CMF Trustee, prepared five drafts of the case statement. The statement was presented to the Board of Trustees at the June 6, 1986 meeting and adopted. The Board received a progress report at the November 6, 1986 meeting, along with a further draft of the statement. Meetings were held with the Governor's staff who expressed interest in the idea. Public Sector Consultants, Inc. provided counsel on the statement a nd were instrumental in seeing that the idea was incorporated in the Governor's State of the State Address delivered February 4, 1987 . "The State Treasurer will evaluate the feasibili ty of a state income tax credit for those who donate to community foundations. If this tax credit is det ermi ned to be fiscally prudent, it could encourage individuals who wish, through voluntary efforts, to improve the quality of life in their own commuf\itie s." �At the February 13, 1987 Board of Trustees meeting, questions were raised as to the strategy to be used to seek passage of the legislation, the opinions of other Michigan public charities and whether or not CMF or its members would be effected by the IRS lobbying regulations. Information In preparation of the Sub-Committee's deliberations, Public Sector Consultants,, Inc. was engaged to review the case statement (Att. 6a) and to prepar~ a strategy paper (Att. 6b). Public Sector Consult a nts, Inc. was compensated on an hourly basis for their services. Mrs. Johnson informed them that a retainer was not appropriate for CMF, as was discussed at the February board meeting. Any work done by a consultant for the project will be done on a contractual basis. Recommendations The Sub-Committee recommends the following Board action: l. The CMF Board of Trust ees reaffirms the board policy to seek a tax credit for contributions to community foundations. 2. CMF seek a leg a l opinion on the IRS lobbying regulation's effect on CMF, a public charity and its private foundation members who may want to make a grant to assist the effort . Result: Legal opinion, prepared by Caplin & Drysdale, Walter Slocombe (Att. 6c}. In summary, CMF could proceed with the recommended strategy and seek grants from all Members, including private foundations under the described terms without any problem for CMF or Members. The legal opinion would be provided with all proposal requ es ts . 3. Associa tion with Public Sector Consultants, Inc. and whatever other consultants needed to secure passage of the commt.mity foundation state tax credit legislation. To implement the above strategy it is recommended that CMF seek speci a l project funds up to $65,000 . The funds wil l be raised fro m members who have an interest in the growth of community foundations. The funds will be used to pay for consulting assistance as recommended by the Government Relations Sub-Committee on the Community Foundation State Tax Credit. Commitments will only be made after special purpose funds have been secured. The policy to seek a tax credit for contributions to a community foundation is consistent with CMF's purpose to increase private and community foundation and corporate grantmaking resources in the State of Michigan. :983C �..--.,,. Att. 6b Public Sector Consultants, Inc. April 16, 1987 MEMORANDUM TO: The Council of Michigan Foundations FROM: Bill Rustem SUBJECT: TAX CREDIT STRATEGY Legislative Process Bills to amend Public Act 228 of 1975 (single business tax) and Public Act 281 of 1967 (income tax) should be introduced in the Senate because the issue of tax credits is more likely to receive favorable consideration from a Republican-controlled body . Passage by the Senate will provide the impetus for favorable action in the House, where Democrats are in control. The bills will be referred to the Senate Committee on Finance. Three members (a majority) of that committee have strong community foundations in their districts : Senator Norm Shinkle (R), Chair Community Foundation of Monroe County (also La-Z-Boy Chair Foundation and Monroe Foundation Trust) Senator Richard Posthumus (R) Grand Rapids Foundation Senator Lana Pollack (D) Ann Arbor Area Foundat ion Senator Posthumus should be asked to be the prime sponsor. He is the first choice because of his Senate leadership position ( assistant majority leader) and because the community foundation in his district is the oldest and second-largest in Michigan. He also is very ~lose to Senator John Engler, t he majority leader, and is majority vice- chair of the Finance Committee. Senator Shinkle chairs the Finance Committee and has a reputation for articulating Republican positions on tax matters. He should be asked to be a co- sponsor. Senator Pollack is minority vice-chair of the committee, and her co- sponsorship, as a Democrat, could help attract bi- partisan support. As soon as the bills are referred to committee, all five members [the other two are f r eshmen Doug Carl (R-Utica) a nd Christopher Dingell (D-Trenton)] should be contacted by letters and calls f r om the CMF urging support. The letters should be accompanied by a brie f (one- page) summary of the issue. Longer summaries are less likely to be read. The governor's l egislat i ve liaison (Stan Fedewa) a nd the state treas urer (Bob Bowman) will be kept advised by P ub lic Sector Consultants (PSC).

While Senate action is progressing, it will be advisable to monitor House a ction , watching for other bills to amend the single business a nd i ncome tax acts. As such bills a re intr oduced (several already have been), it will be necessary to devel op a legislative strate gy fo r the House, based in part on where the issues are in the Senate . I t i s possible that the CMF' s tax amendments. could be added in the Senate t o House- passed bills so that t he only House a ction required would be .concurrence i n Senate amendments. Representative Lynn Jondahl, who chairs the House Taxation Committee, should be advised early of the CMF's intent and convinced of i t s merit because his support is critical. An East Lansing Democrat, Jondahl is the leading spokesperson fnr Democratic--and t he governor's--interests on tax matters. He is serving his eighth term and is an ordained minister. Policy Decision A k ey policy decis ion for the CMF is whe ther to seek a per sonal income tax credit or a deduction for contributions. A deduction i n volves a subtraction of the contribution from the income tax base. For example, a $100 contribut or could subtract that amount f r om his/her net t axable income; a $100 contribution multiplied by the state income tax rate (i.e., 4.6 percent) wo u ld result in a tax reduc tion of $4.60. The tax deduction option against personal income t ax should be rejected. As described above, under a tax deduction, a contribution of $100 would result in a net cost to the taxpayer of $95.40 ($100 minus $4.60). An i ncome tax deduction simply does not provide sufficient incentive to encourage signif ican t gifts. Tax credits are much more import ant to the taxpayer because they are s ubtracted from tax owed, rather than from the tax base. Usin g again the example of a $100 contribution, the contributor could sub t ract $100 f r om tax owed, rather than the $4.60 in the examp l e above. Tax credits come in two forms, refundable and nonrefundable. An example of a refundab le tax credit is the homestead property tax credit, in which a taxpayer who does not owe the State any inc ome t ax will get a refund check in the a mount of the credit from the S tate. An example of a nonre f undable tax credit is t hat allowed for a contribution to a public b roadcas ting station. In this instance, a contributor who does not owe any state income t ax cannot get credit for the contribution because there is n othing from which to subtract it. We recommend tha t the CMF seek a nonrefundable public cont ribution credit · against the state income tax, as is a llowed for contribut ions to the Michigan Colleges Foundation. (This credit would be sepa r a t e from the credit currently available for contributions to colleges and universities, libraries , and the Michigan Colleges Foundation.) Un der s u ch a credit, the contribu t or computes the credit three ways and is allowed to take whichever amount is s mallest: �A. B. C. 50 percent of the contribution reported on line l8a, or 20 percent of the tax on line 16 of MI 1040, or $100 ($200 for a married couple filing a joint return). Option A would permit a gift of $100 at a cost of only $50 to the contributor. The nonrefundable provision means that a taxpayer who does not have any state tax liability cannot receive credit. This would reduce the cost to the State. It also is compatible with the governor's State of the State message in which he refers to evaluation of the feas ibility "of a state income tax credit for those who donate to community foundations." It has the further advantage of being based on precedent in the existing tax law (for contributions to the Michigan Colleges Foundation and other public purposes). PSC will research tax law in other states fo r similar pr ecedents. It usually is easier to sell a concept to the l egislature if it is based on precedent either in Michigan or other major industrial states. By current law, only a nonrefundable credit is allowable against the SBT. We recommend that the CMF seek legislation for a similar, but separate, credit to permit contributions to community foundations to the extent allowable for contributions such as those to public broadcasting stations: up to 5 percent of the tax liability or $5,000, whichever is less. Other Organizations We need to prevent a "bandwagon" effect. As the CMF proposals start through the legislative process, if other organizations, such as United Way, appear before legislative committees to ask that they be included, our effort probably will fail. What would happen could b e compared to loading a boat with cargo: if the cargo is light, the boat will Sail; if too much is loaded on, the boat will sink. There will be much greater chance of success if only one organization leads the way. If the CMF can blaze the trail a lone, not only will the CMF benefit, but the process will also be made much easier for other organizations to follow. We suggest that the CMF host a meeting with other major organizations to seek agreement that other organizations will not try to be included in the bills, but will wait until they are passed. In subsequent years, other organizations can seek inclusion , perhaps with the QIF support. If all organizations seek inclusion the first time , one of two things probably will happen: (l) the cost to the State will be . considered to be prohibitive and/o r (2) the legislative committees will bog down i n hearings on the matter and go on to other issues. The CMF could pledge its support for others' future legislative effort s in exchange for an agreement that the C}IT be permitted to make the legislative journey alone this year. Since only a bout one bill in six becomes law, the journey will be hazardous enough without further impediments. We s u ggest that the CHF consider the services of a lobbyist. \.Jhile Public Sector Consultants does not engage in legislative lobbying, we do develop public information or advocacy programs for clients. We also will be pleas ed to recommend a lobbyist whom we feel can best serve the CMF ' s interest .

NOTE: A tax credit for contributions to public libraries, Michigan institutions of higher learning, the Michigan Colleges Foundation, and other nonprofit corporations, funds, foundations, trusts , or associations operated exclusively for the benefit of institutions of higher learning was written into state law in 1968. In 1979, the state law was amended to allow credit for contributions to public broadcast stations . It must be said that there is no guarantee that the experience with the tax c r edit for public broadcast stations credit community foundations , would be paralleled by the proposed since the average contribution to a community fo undation is presently much larger than the average contribution to a public broadcast s tation. Consideration of the proposal to include charita ble tax credit is very time ly. community foundations in the The role of the community foundation is expanding in response to reductions in federal support to communities and the trend toward returning r e sponsibility and control of local programs to cities and states. Le gislation such as the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings act and proposed bud getary policy shifts threaten to f urther reduce federal and state support for local human, social, cultural, and economic needs. Therefore, social responsibility is ret urning to the community and thus, in part, to community fo undations .

Johnson Budget Resolutions Office Renovation - $10,000 At the June 5, 1987 Board of Trustees meeting an office renovation project was approved, not to exceed $10,000 . (See Board minutes for details.) It is proposed that the following resolution be approved: RESOLVED, the CMF 1987-88 operating budget be revised to include an approved $10,000 office renovation expenditure. II. Car Purchase - $19,400 At the February 27, 1987 Board of Trustees meeting the President was directed to replace the CMF leased car (3 years old; 91,600 miles). It is to CMF's advantage to purchase a car outright rather than enter into another lease arrangement. All personal usage on the Buick Park Avenue 1987 vehicle will be recorded on the President's W-2 form. The detail of this transaction was reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee, Chairman and Treasurer. It i s proposed that the following resolution be approved: RESOLVED, the CMF 1987-88 operating budget be revised to include a car purchase in the amount of $19,400. Revenue for both projects would come from General Operating Fund - $104 ,083 . 84 as of 3/31/87 .
