Now that you have a feel for the ConnectMichigan Alliance and what it can do for Michigan, I want to talk to you about why your participation is so very important. Many believe that volunteering is something that just happens. People recognize a need, figure out how they can help and just do it. While this may certainly true for many of us in this room, it isn't universal. If it were, we wouldn't see the tremendous challenges we see daily in our communities. Challenges like low test scores, teen pregnancies, violence in schools and decaying neighborhoods are local issues that can be address only through local solutions. Yet, we know that only 46 percent of Michigan adults volunteered in 1999. In addition, the majority who did not volunteer that year said that they had not been asked even though they had said that they volunteered in the past. How do we engage more citizens in local community problem solving? We ask and then we show them how to make an impact. Volunteerism takes the dedication and hard work of local people and organizations that are closest to the needs of communities and can identify human and financial resources to address those needs and engage others to help. In short—volunteerism isn't free or easy, but it is effective. It takes coordination, support and resources for volunteerism flourish and become a common expectation. However, we know that volunteers—properly trained and supported—can do far more good for a far longer period of time than any government program. Former Governor George Romney knew this and worked throughout his life to make volunteer opportunities part of every citizens daily experiences. We all remember his goal of making volunteer centers as common as the post office. Well, we are here today to make goals like that a reality. He believed, as I do, that we can—each of us—do something to profoundly change the lives of others. Let me give you some examples. Every year, Michelle and I get to meet the winners of the Governor's Service Awards. These people represent the exemplary efforts of citizens who are young and young at heart, and who are giving of themselves to make our communities safer, more prosperous �and better places to live. Last year, I met Gertrude Perry from Greenville, who was honored for her service as a Foster Grandparent Program volunteer. Since 1989, Ms. Perry has volunteered with various organizations and schools. As a Foster Grandparent Program volunteer, the then eighty-five year old volunteered 20 hours each week during the school year, 560 hours every year, and logging more than 6,000 hours over the past 11 years in service to young people in need. Kevin Elya, from Brighton, who was honored for his commitment to Paws with a Cause—a program that works to train dogs that help persons with disabilities navigate seemingly routine daily tasks for some, serious challenges for others. Mr. Elya serves as a volunteer presenter, educator and fund-raiser. He has touched the lives of thousands and changed the lives of many by encouraging people with disabilities to seek out ways to become independent. Mr. Elya is in a wheelchair and uses his unique perspective to help others and works to train dogs for companions and aides to other persons with disabilities. These are just two examples of exemplary volunteerism—there are certainly many more that we could all point to as worthy of praise. Their dedication is uncommon as is the support and coordination that they receive. Both of the examples I mentioned illustrate volunteers who work in a structured, supported and sustainable volunteer organizations that have a genuine impact on their community. That is what the ConnectMichigan Alliance can do for communities all across Michigan. By combining the forces of the state's premiere volunteer support organizations with the resources of a $20 million endowment, we all can ensure that future generations will be served by and themselves become, community volunteers. That is why I worked with fine Legislators like Glenn Steil to put up a $10 million dollar challenge grant to build an endowment to support volunteers now and in the future. This challenge must be met by November of 2002 and has gotten off to a fine start. Both the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the C.S. Mott Foundation have each committed $1 million to the campaign. That leaves $8 million more. With your help we can reach that goal. In order to be successful, the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign needs to secure $1.5 million from west Michigan donors. It is our hope that $1 million of that sum can be secured from the greater Grand Rapids community. We need your help both through your participation in this campaign and you willingness to help us gain the support of others. Michelle and I have often talked about what can be done to bring volunteerism to a level that makes it a part of every Michigan citizen's life. Michelle has been instrumental in making this happen through her own personal leadership both here in Michigan and at the national level. Her role in shaping one of the nation's leading commissions on service and volunteerism along with her own personal volunteer efforts are exactly the type of dedication she seeks to instill in others. But it takes an efficient and effective series of individuals, organizations and events to make it happen. We often call this, �"infrastructure" for volunteerism. While "infrastructure" is not a glamorous term to sell—the term is accurate. Like any community-building mechanism, a sound and efficient support system has to be in place to make it work. Just like good roads, safe schools and clean parks make communities better; they are not as "sexy" as sleek cars, ornate school buildings, and shining skyscrapers. Yet, it is that infrastructure that makes it all possible. We now have to provide the same type of support for our volunteers. Volunteer centers, training for volunteers, service-learning projects and corporate volunteer programs may not sound glamorous, they are absolutely critical to building enduring volunteer community problem solving. I am sure that you will recognize what I and the Michigan Legislature did last year— volunteerism takes a long-term commitment to make work and that we need to endow our support so that future generations can take that "infrastructure" for granted. Please join me in making service and giving part of every Michigan citizen's life experience.

Executive Summary The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) Campaign ensures the strength and stability of support for Michigan's volunteers. Through a $20 million endowment, the combined forces of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded by: ^ Building strong nonprofits to meet our communities' most pressing social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based and civic needs; £, Providing access to a strong and healthy Volunteer Center for every Michigan resident; £, Having every Michigan college and university encourage citizen service & learning among its students, faculty and staff; and £, Maximizing state and federal government resources to empower communities to address their local challenges. CMA is a statewide initiative with significant potential for enhancing local initiatives to improve the quality of life in Grand Rapids and other West Michigan communities. The state of Michigan provided a $10 million challenge grant ($!:$!) toward this initiative. The C. S. Mott Foundation and the W. K. Kellogg Foundation each responded to the challenge with lead gifts of $1 million. The remaining $8 million will be developed over the next twelve months through multiple-year pledges and one-time gifts. 2. Purpose of Grant i Statement of needs/problems to be addressed; description of target population and how they will benefit "The magnitude of our social problems will require that all citizens and institutions make a commitment to volunteering as a way of life and as a primary opportunity to create needed change." Governor George W. Romney, 1907-1995 Michigan has invested precious resources in the development and promotion of a statewide ethic of volunteerism and service for more than a decade. In many ways, this effort represents our collective best inclinations: generosity, inclusivity, and determined optimism. Volunteerism and service provide opportunities to bridge the gaps in our communities by bringing people together, proposing alternatives, advocating for change, and implementing remedies. In the course of providing extensive benefits to a diverse range of people and communities, ifproduce^remarkably innovative solutions. &Y /, The impetuo-bohind thu L^Uliliohmciit of the ConnectMichigan Alliance grew out of aft 4/JUUl w mqnir r r"lr fVlg -pinST""*" fnr expanding, a continuum of capacity-limited, but successful, programs and services.

Currently many Michigan citizens are unable to access a volunteer center—places where individuals and organizations work to match volunteer opportunities with the right individual. Only fifty-four Michigan counties are currently served by a Volunteer Center, many of which have limited organizational capacity to meet community needs. _ Volunteer Centers have limited access to fund advancement professionals. ^ Accessibility to volunteer opportunities and support is limited by the strength and depth of leadership in a community. Often leadership involves the same pool of volunteers and leaders who either move on or "burn out," leaving the organization without strong and long-term support. 4. Nonprofits and volunteer-based organizations have been unable to stay ahead of emerging trends due to their inaccessibility to technical assistance and financial resources. 5. Citizenship, giving, civic engagement and the ethic of giving back are not the indoctrinating principles our society's institutions and communities instill as they once did. New ways need to be found to instill these values. 6. Only thirty-five of the state's post-secondary educational institutions have demonstrated their commitment to promoting more civically engaged students, faculty and administrators by committing to the Michigan Campus Compact. 7. A number of events, programs and activities are conducted around the state to promote volunteerism, but they are scattered and-not univoroallji .supported in ovory Mid aommunitv '4J&+~*^g£>+*J CA^j4uc**«*-»^ «u*u 8.

C:\W7NDOWS\TEMP\full proposal.doc �Mobilization of People Network Development Resource Development Strengthening Infrastructures Public Education ConnectMichigan Public Education: CMA will work with local Volunteer Centers, colleges and universities to educate Grand Rapids and other west-Michigan residents through the development and implementation of public education campaigns. Public education initiatives will be comprehensive in nature with emphasis on identifying issues and opportunities, and on recognitionof,efforts on the part of individuals and organizations throughout the westMicEiganregion. Strengthening Infrastructures: Increased capacity will enable CMA to enhance and expand upon existing MCC and VCM programs and services in the areas of grantmaking to local initiatives, enhancing the technological capacity of volunteer and service-learning initiatives throughout west-Michigan, and providing opportunities for the region's young people and families by developing and implementing grant opportunities for youth initiatives. Resource Development: CMA will enhance and expand the training and technical assistance capacities of west-Michigan affiliates. In partnership with CMA and local nonprofit organizations, MNA will ^stSaEffi Grand Rapids as one of five training and technical assistance hubs in the state. CMA will also develop a broad range of resource material in the areas of fund advancement, volunteer development, service-learning programming, establishing and nurturing collaborative efforts, managing statistical data, and volunteer management. Network Development: The current state of disconnectedness is not limited to individuals. CMA will continue and expand existing networks that support cross-sector discussion, and training that covers a broad base of topics relative to all west-Michigan organizations that utilize volunteers and/or conduct service-learning initiatives. Network development will also facilitate the discussion and development of training, workshops and conferences that focus on specialized needs of local and regional organizations. Mobilization of People: This is the strategy that achieves the ultimate goal of CMA — to reduce "disconnectedness" in communities throughout Michigan. CMA will build upon C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\full proposal.doc �existing local Volunteer Centers, VCM and MCC "Day of Service" initiatives, which include Make A Difference Day/Day of Caring and National Volunteer Week, to provide opportunities for people and organizations to connect through meaningful volunteerism and community service. Strategies will be structured to engage all west-Michigan communities in meaningful activities designed to promote continued civic engagement and connectedness.

Programs and services currently administered by MCSC and MNA specific to volunteerism and service-learning will be^transferred to the partnership. Impact on Grand Rapids GR Volunteer Center: The establishment of the ConnectMichigan Alliance increases the capacity of Volunteer Centers of Michigan to support GRVC's efforts to address issues of board and staff capacity, fund advancement, community identity, and the successful accomplishment of mission. Access to quality training and technical assistance will be improved as the Michigan Nonprofit Association, in partnership with CMA and local nonprofit organizations, will establish Grand Rapids as one of five regional training hubs in the state of Michigan. This partnership also expands the availability of technical assistance to local nonprofits via contracting with regional consultants, providing stipends to veteran directors and board members to serve as peer mentors, and cultivating scholarship funds to ensure appropriate development activities are available to GRVC staff. CMA will significantly increase grant support available to GRVC through VCM. CMA will also increase Volunteer Centers of Michigan's capacity to support GRVC's efforts to promote and market volunteerism, convene community resources to address local issues and establish business and family volunteerism programs. Finally, Michigan is in the process of developing a comprehensive 211 network of local providers that will offer a "one-stop-shop" for individuals seeking assistance for any problems they may encounter. CMA affords VCM the resources to support this effort in Grand Rapids. Higher Education: The establishment of CMA ensures the continuation and enhancement of Michigan Campus Compact's support for local institutions of higher educations' servicelearning and community service initiatives in Grand Rapids. CMA expands MCC's capacity enabling it to host several networking opportunities in Grand Rapids. Staff, faculty and students representing the region's colleges will be actively engaged in planning and hosting networking meetings which significantly increases the opportunities to strengthen and enhance programming on their campuses and in their communities. In addition, non-member institutions serving the area will be encouraged to participate in meetings, and join MCC. CMA resources will enable MCC to formally engage colleges in the development of strategies to promote civic engagement among students. Grand Rapids area colleges and universities will be instrumental in this dialogue. CMA will also significantly increase grant support available to local institutions of higher education through MCC. It also increases MCC's capacity to support local colleges' efforts to promote and market service-learning internally and in the communities they serve, to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\fiill proposal.doc �expand collaborative efforts with other community resources to address local issues, and to link students with more opportunities to apply classroom education in efforts to enhance the quality of life in Grand Rapids. K-12 Volunteer Programming: While a great deal of activity exists in the K-12 volunteer or "service learning" arena, there is not a great deal of infrastructure for shared learning and resource dissemination. Two of the strongest statewide initiatives rest with the Council of Michigan Foundations (Learning to Give program, a curriculum-based service learning program) and the Michigan Community Service Commission (Learn & SERVE communitybased and school-based funding, with a corresponding statewide advisory council). CMA will convene of committee, inviting representatives from GRVC, higher education service-learning programs, United Way, The Grand Rapids Community Foundation/ and K12 education, to research service-learning opportunities and develop a K-12 service-learning initiative in mid-Michigan. It is anticipated that the mid-Michigan K-12 service-learning initiative will be a model program for rural communities. Timetable for implementation The four founding organizations of the ConnectMichigan Alliance began developing the concept of the new organization on June 1, 1999. hi early 2000 the Boards of all four organizations approved the concept and staff was directed to move forward with implementation plans. In October of 2000 the State of Michigan allocated a $10 million challenge grant to the ConnectMichigan Alliance. On December 19, 2000 the ConnectMichigan Alliance officially began its $10 million campaign to leverage the state's challenge grant, lead gifts of $1 million from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation were announced. The campaign must be completed by October 1, 2002 in accordance with the State's challenge. The Board of the ConnectMichigan Alliance held its first meeting on February 1, 2001 and is finalizing the process of hiring an executive director. On July 1, 2001, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Campus Compact joined fnarpr nndrr tho umbrollmofme ConnectMichigan Alliance. «*•> otLjL+j&- ft^gfj- Q-vau^u IF- i ^r=o y List of partners in the project and their roles. Separate, but working in collaboration, the following organizations have combined to build a powerful force—infrastructure—for volunteerism in Michigan: Michigan Campus Compact (MCC); Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC); Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA); and Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). MCC and VCM will operate as organisations under the CMA.uHibrcHn.

Kellogg Foundation (CMA Volunteer) Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director, Michigan Community Service Commission Absent Aaron Cantrell, Executive Director, Voluntary Action Center of Greater Kalamazoo Topic(s) of Discussion: Kalamazoo Community Foundation contribution to the CMA Can1paign. Notes: Mr. Orosz briefed Mr. Gardiner on the history of the founding organizations, the ConnectMichigan Alliance and the Campaign and sought his advice and assistance in approaching the Foundation about participating in the CMA campaign. Requested a gift of$100,000 from the Foundation in a proposal sent in advance to Mr. Gardiner. Mr. Gardiner requested an explanation of CRCF investment strategy to ensure that funds were part of a comprehensive investment strategy. He asked, "What's in it for Kalamazoo?" and wanted to know what the local support was for the campaign and the partnering organizations. He requested local letters of support. Mr. Orosz emphasized the potential for return on their investment over a 3-year period especially given the involvement of the area higher education institutions and the VIG program. Mr. Gardiner asked about the participation of other community foundation and requested a list of community foundations that have given to date. Finally, Mr. Gardiner was briefed on the staffing of the CMA and was intrigued by the appointment of John Lore �Kalamazoo Community Foundation August 09, 2001 Visit Report Dave Gardiner Page 2 of 2 given his past relationships with Kalamazoo (Nazareth and Western) and with Jack Hopkins specifically. He suggested that John call Jack and suggest that CMA give a presentation to their board. This last point is especially important as Mr. Gardiner made it a point to explain the various funding approval process that proposals need to go through. He especially emphasized that Jack can approve gifts at the $50,000 level without board approval, however, anything above that needed to be put before the board. It is important, therefore, to get a presentation before the board if a gift of over $50,000 is to be secured. Mr. Gardiner will review the proposal and contact us. He was surprised at the (high level of the) request amount. Pledge/Gift Received: No activity at this time Staff Assigned: Action Steps: Kyle Caldwell Follow up to this initial visit.

Rose Street, Suite 332 Kalamazoo, MI 49007-4775 Dear Mr. Gardiner: On behalf of the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA), I am pleased to submit this proposal for a grant in the amount of $100,000 . If approved, your grant will be combined with other resources totaling $20,000,000 in support of your community ' s partnerships with CMA. Specifically, it will ensure a perpetual commitment to improve the quality of life in Kalamazoo and other local Michigan communities through the power ofvolunteerism and service. CMA programs and services address four areas of need, as identified through a two-year planning process that engaged more than 70 executives representing local nonprofit organizations serving communities throughout the state. Those areas include General Yolunteerism; Youth Yolunteerism; Higher Education; and Training and Technical Assistance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) is a new organization. However, its founding partners are well-established, statewide, constituency-driven infrastructure organizations with long track records of successfully supporting local volunteer and service-learning programs in Kalamazoo and other local Michigan communities. CMA creates an increased organizational capacity to continue existing services and develop new infrastructure services essential to the success of volunteerism and service-learning initiatives in Kalamazoo. CMA is a valuable resource to local Volunteer Centers and other community-based nonprofit organizations. As a partner in local initiatives, CMA is not prescriptive in the application of its resources. As local nonprofits identify community needs, they are able to access and apply CMA programs and services in a manner that best serves their communities.

Organizational Information Mission The mission of the ConnectMichigan Alliance is to promote and strengthen a life-long ethic of service and civic engagement through the support of community building initiatives. Description of Current Programs, Activities, and Accomplishments MCC has four active members in the Kalamazoo area-- including Davenport University, Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo Valley Community College and Western Michigan University (WMU) . The past president of Davenport University has served as an active chair for MCC over the past two years. Both Davenport University and KVCC are expanding their programs and work with MCC through grants and on-campus trainings in service-learning. Kalamazoo College has a comprehensive career portfolio program that actively engages students in community service as part of their overall educational experience. In addition, Kalamazoo College has a past faculty fellow and close community tie through several faculty members to the Woodward School for Technology and Research. WMU has over 33 student groups doing community service and involves over 2000 students annually in one day service projects. The Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo (formerly Voluntary Action Center) has served as one ofVCM' s strongest leaders. The Center and director Aaron Cantrell were instrumental in the founding ofVCM, as Cantrell worked closely with former Governor George Romney in establishing and achieving the vision for the state network of Volunteer Centers. Additionally, due to his role with VCM, Cantrell has served as past chair of the VCM Operating Council and has represented VCM nationally with the Points of Light Foundation through the Volunteer Center National Network Council. These roles have spotlighted the Kalamazoo Center and its staff on both the state and national levels. Kalamazoo is a very active community in terms of volunteer and service-learning initiatives. Examples of recent collaborative efforts between Kalamazoo nonprofit organizations, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and/or Michigan Campus Compact include: Service-Learning Universities as Citizens Summer Planning Institute at Kalamazoo College (June, 1999) This Planning Institute was a collaboration between a group of state Compacts, called the Midwest Collaboration. This collaboration between Indiana, Ohio, TI!inois and Michigan Compacts provided the opportunity for seven teams from 116 member campuses in the Midwest to attend the institute to plan and develop an action plan with their community partners to institutionalize service-learning programs on their campuses. The following campus/community teams were selected: • • • • • Central Michigan University- Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis - Indianapolis, Indiana Kalamazoo College -Kalamazoo, Michigan Michigan State University- East Lansing, Michigan Saint Mary' s College - Notre Dame, Indiana S \CM A\community foundat ions\K.alamazoo\proposal narrative final8 -7-01 doc Page 3 of21 �+ Southern TI!inois University- Carbondale- Carbondale, TI!inois + Olivet College - Olivet, Michigan The Universities as Citizens Summer Planning Institute was hosted by Kalamazoo College. Funded by a grant from the Corporation for National Service to the Midwest Collaboration and a grant from the National Campus Compact Office, the Institute focused on the scholarship of engagement - the integration of teaching, research and/or professional service with community partners. The Institute was designed to provide an environment for campus/community teams to plan specific projects that foster public engagement. In addition, the Institute explored key issues related to campus planning. Training and Technical Assistance In July, 2000, Robin Lynn Schultheiss (Director, VCM) presented a half-day workshop, "For Volunteers Only" as part of the local training series hosted by the Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo. This training was focused primarily on long-term volunteers and board members of local nonprofits, stressing their unique role as organizational historian and leader. Additionally, maintaining the delicate relationship between staff and volunteers was discussed at length. In the summer of 1999, Schultheiss conducted a workshop on Effective Volunteer Management for the same training series. Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo staff members have participated in a number ofVCM sponsored professional development opportunities, including fund development strategies and the Volunteer Center Academy. VC of Greater Kalamazoo staff regularly serve as volunteers at MNAIVCM sponsored conferences, in exchange for discounted registration fees. MCC also presented a training session for faculty on service-learning hosted by Kalamazoo Valley Community College during the spring semester of2000. Grants Capacity Building Mini-grant- $2,000 In 1998, the Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo was the recipient of a $2,000 capacity building grant from VCM, to assist with a technology upgrade resulting in an improved volunteer referral and tracking mechanism. The grant funded one portion of a comprehensive system upgrade and provided leverage for the Center to secure the additional funding. Volunteer Investment Grant & Romney Endowment- $50,000 In 1998, the Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo was among the first in the state to leverage a $25,000 award through the George W. Romney Fund for Volunteerism in Michigan and an additional $25,000 from the Volunteer Investment Grant administered by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). Raising $25,000 locally for the MCSC 1:1 challenge grant enabled the Volunteer Center to establish an endowment fund of $50,000, which will provide program and operational support into perpetuity. It is the goal of the Romney Fund that local Volunteer Centers will continue to grow the fund to a level that provides adequate support for core programs. Western Michigan University WMU continues to develop a web-based resource book that will inform and provide students, faculty and staff of community volunteer opportunities and needs. S:\CMA\community foundations\Kalamazoo\proposal narrative finaiS-7-0 1 doc Page 4 of21 �Western Michigan University This proposal called "Hands-on-Science" established a mentor program between 10-20 Western Michigan University students of physics, chemistry, and geography and twenty advanced students at the Woodward School for Technology and Research in Kalamazoo. For a period of three months, the WMU students assisted the elementary school students to develop science fair projects. The elementary students also visited Western' s campus. Western Michigan University During the Fellowship term, Faculty Fellows provided expertise to meet a community organization's needs. Dr. Paul and his students focused on independent living for seniors. Students did needs assessment for seniors homes and then followed up with them to see if the assessment made a difference on safety and if the recommendations were being heeded. Faculty Fellows also teach a service-learning course, conduct a research project and participate in three retreats. Recognized as service-learning leaders, Faculty Fellows inspire and support colleagues at their own institutions to become involved in academic service-learning and other forms of professional community engagement. All of their work was chronicled in a professional development portfolio which Faculty Fellows are encouraged to submit for review, promotion or tenure actions. Kalamazoo College As a Faculty Fellow, Dr. Bruce Mills focused on needs identified through dialogue with the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Services Agency [KRESA] autism-programming team. Through the Creation of "Social Stories," students in a service-learning course "Out of Silence: From Autism to Art" contribute to the development of autism-impaired students ' social skills and language abilities. As a result of Dr. Mills research, two in-service trainings for KRESA staff were be held at Kalamazoo College. In addition, the fellowship provided funds for travel to an out-of-state conference on autism programming. Finally, a collection of essays on the impact of autism were read in the community. Western Michigan University Dr. Gibson Hancox integrated a service-learning component into an undergraduate Communication Training and Development course. Students conducted communication related training to clients from two of the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency's (KRESA) programs, Work First and School-To-Work. Student trainers engaged in extensive classroom discussions, training journal entries and a series of directed writings to explore such issues as adult Ieamer populations, KRESA client needs, theories of resource development, and the role of training in nonprofit organizations. ConnectMichigan Alliance Initiative CMA programs and services address four areas of need, as identified through a two-year planning process that engaged more than 70 executives representing local nonprofit organizations serving communities throughout the state. Those areas include Community Volunteerism, Youth Volunteerism, Higher Education, and Training and Technical Assistance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) is a new organization.

As local nonprofits identify community needs, they are able to access and apply CMA programs and services in a manner that best serves their communities. CMA programs and services available to local nonprofits include (implementation dates are in parenthesis): Community Volunteerism Volunteer Centers (July 1, 2001): While diverse in their local delivery strategies, there are four basic tenets of Volunteer Center serv1ces: 1. Volunteer Clearinghouse - a local Volunteer Center serves as a matchmaker between potential volunteers and local nonprofitslinitiatives that are in need of volunteers. Each Center has a volunteer application, screening and referral process, as well as accountabilities for nonprofits who work with volunteers through the Center. In addition to placing individual volunteers, Volunteer Centers work to develop appropriate projects to meet the changing demographics of the volunteer sector, including programs for Family Volunteerism, Youth Volunteerism and Employee Volunteerism. Some placements are long-term, others are short-term. Many Volunteer Centers coordinate local Day of Service initiatives to introduce community members to local opportunities. Examples of Day of Service initiatives include: Make A Difference Day, National Youth Service Day, Day of Caring (with a local United Way), Join Hands Day and Holidays of Caring. 2. Community Problem-Solving- local Volunteer Centers are fmding practical applications for their database and relationship "web" by engaging more strategically in proactive community problem solving efforts. In order to appropriately meet volunteer needs, a Volunteer Center is uniquely positioned to understand many facets of an organization' s programming. By identifying a key community issue and cross-referencing it with the Volunteer Center database of organizations providing programs and services that impact the issue, a Volunteer Center can initiate conversations, collaborations and strategies for a more holistic approach to service delivery. 3. Marketing and Promotion - Volunteer Centers work to spread the word, not only about the needs of the community, but also the success stories of effective change created by volunteer initiatives. When community members begin to understand the full value and potential impact of volunteerism, it stands to reason that they would feel it is a useful investment of their time. In addition to the impact of volunteerism, people need to know- easily- how they can become involved. This is where the 1-800-VOLUNTEER hotline and the presence of a Volunteer Center in every community become critical. 4. Volunteer Recognition- as there is no "pay" for volunteerism, Volunteer Centers work to ensure that local volunteers receive appropriate recognition. Large-scale annual community volunteer recognition events are commonplace. Volunteer Centers are helping local nonprofits meet the challenge of effective, meaningful, creative recognition. To advance the efforts of local Volunteer Centers in meeting their missions, the VCM staff provides support services that enhance the professional capacity of local staff. VCM ' s services include: site-based consultation and training; facilitated quarterly networking meetings; new director orientation and mentoring; fund development training and assistance; marketing initiatives; and connection to other state and local resources. One of the primary responsibilities S ·\CMA\comrnunity fo undatio ns\ Kalamazoo\proposal narrative finai8-7-0 I doc Page 6 o f 2 1 �of VCM staff is to advocate on behalf of all Volunteer Centers for resources and support services, allowing local Volunteer Centers to focus on meeting local needs. Corporate and Business Volunteerism (July 1, 2002): As the corporate and business community seeks new avenues for community investment, volunteerism is playing a key role in business plans and strategies nationwide. This growing trend is realized through two primary means -- employee volunteerism and corporate or business volunteer councils. In some business cultures, employees are expected to be civically engaged as part of a formal job description; while others, the company approaches a flexible scheduling arrangement as a means of supporting the "wholeness" of an employee' s life. In response to this growing trend, communities have seen the outgrowth of corporate volunteer councils and rural business councils that support and promote best practices of employee volunteerism and discuss strategies for connecting philanthropy, volunteerism and responsible corporate citizenship. These councils often work in close partnership with local Volunteer Centers and other nonprofit organizations. Additionally, many communities have created "win-win" partnerships in the development of board placement programs, whereby an employee is placed on a nonprofit board. This placement allows personal and professional development opportunities for the individual , as well as creating stronger ties to the business sector and access to needed resources and skills for the local nonprofit. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will support and promote the best practices of employee volunteerism through collaborative partnerships, sharing of innovative models and best practices, and delivering training and technical assistance. I-BOO-VOLUNTEER Hotline (July 1, 2001): When an interested volunteer calls 1-800-VOLUNTEER, they are asked to input their ZIP Code and are then connected immediately to their local Volunteer Center. If the caller is not currently served by a local Volunteer Center, they are connected to Volunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM). 1-800-VOLUNTEER is a national initiative, coordinated jointly by the Points ofLight Foundation and Volunteer Center National Network. Michigan is the only state in the country that currently has universal coverage. Make A Difference Day (July 1, 2001): Typically the third Saturday of October, this annual nationwide event is coordinated by the Points of Light Foundation and USA Weekend Magazine. Once again, Michigan rose to the challenge and launched one of the most comprehensive Make A Difference Day efforts in the country. For the tenth anniversary of the National Make A Difference Day (2000), the Michigan initiative included 84,901 volunteers participating in 605 projects which impacted 194 cities in 80 counties. National Volunteer Week (July 1, 2001): Held nationally during the third week of April, National Volunteer Week is celebrated in local communities in a variety of ways. Many host local volunteer recognition events (frequently coordinated by local Volunteer Centers); others coordinate days of service or conduct local marketing campaigns to promote volunteer involvement; some focus very heavily on providing speakers to service clubs, businesses and schools to discuss innovative approaches to volunteerism. Through CMA, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan plan to conduct a statewide media and marketing campaign each year, promoting the 1-800-VOLUNTEER hotline and local Volunteer Centers as a point of connection in local communities. S \CMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoo\proposal namJtive finai8-7-0I.doc Page 7 of21 �America's Promise in MI (July 1, 2002): Launched at the President's Summit for America ' s Future in April, 1997, America's Promise was personalized to Michigan through the leadership of the Michigan Community Service Commission. The 25 local Communities of Promise currently registered with MCSC and MCC have access to support services and funding opportunities that allow them to more successfully deliver the five fundamental resources to youth: a healthy start; safe places to learn and grow; an ongoing relationship with a caring adult; marketable skills; and an opportunity to give back through service. Through the coordinated efforts of CMA, we expect the number of registered Communities of Promise to grow statewide. Volunteerism Clearinghouse (July 1, 2002): The Volunteer Centers ofMichigan and Michigan Nonprofit Association have built a collection of reference books, guides and manuals; video tapes; audio tapes; on-line resources; and journals that are available as references for volunteer program managers. Additionally, potential volunteers can be directed to a multitude of sources for involvement in local volunteerism or can be provided with self assessment tools to assist in decision making related to volunteer involvement. Youth Volunteerism Youth Volunteer Opportunities (July 1, 2002): Currently, there exists a myriad of opportunities for youth to be volunteers in their local communities. While many adults tend to think immediately of volunteering at the local hospital, humane society, or place of worship, the opportunities for youth service have grown dramatically as more youth clubs (4-H, Boy and Girl Scouts, etc.) have incorporated service as a formal component of their youth programming. Many Michigan youth also have access to Youth Volunteer Corps programs (currently hosted in ten areas of Michigan), as well as local Youth Advisory Councils (in partnership with Community Foundations and/or Volunteer Centers). The partners of CMA will continue to promote and support these programs through collaboration, technical assistance and supporting the principles of youth empowerment and leadership. K-12 Service-leaming (July 1, 2003): Many Michigan schools (public and private) and educators have begun to incorporate the values of service-learning into their curricula. Service-learning is a means of making education "real" to students by providing practical real-world application of classroom learning. English students learn to research, interview and document the life history of elders in their community; biology and chemistry students conduct water testing for contaminants in local rivers and streams and then plan appropriate clean-up efforts; art students rejuvenate abandoned buildings or public structures for community beautification projects ... the possibilities are endless. CMA will be positioned to further the success of local service-learning efforts by preparing nonprofit organizations to address fully the components of meaningful projects, as well as encouraging a broader range of community partnerships and collaborations. YES Ambassador Program (July 1, 2003): Michigan has been host to the Points of Light's YES (Youth Engaged in Service) Ambassador program for ten years . The role of a YES Ambassador is to promote the involvement of young people in meaningful service and leadership opportunities. Michigan' s statewide focus has resulted in the creation of the MYP AC (Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council), an advisory council to the Governor through the Michigan Community Service Commission. Additionally, the YES Ambassador works with numerous organizations and entities statewide, preparing them for and promoting the benefits of youth leadership and civic engagement. S \CMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoo\proposal narrative finai8·7-0 I doc Page 8 of2 1 �Service-Learning Support (July 1, 2001): In Michigan, there are two highly developed support mechanisms for K-12 service-learning: Learning to Give is a program of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Learning to Give is a curriculum-based resource for educators that includes literally hundreds of ready-to-use lesson plans crossing all disciplines and grade levels. Michigan educators will find appropriate references to MEAP lessons, as well as opportunities to attend in-services and institutes that prepare them to more fully engage their students and peers in service-learning. Learn and Serve is a national grant program hosted in Michigan by the Michigan Community Service Commission. Learn and Serve provides grant opportunities for both community based organization and school-based service-learning initiatives. Learn and Serve also provides access to state and national level technical assistance for the successful implementation and evaluation of service-learning initiatives. As CMA develops, it will identify and develop networking initiatives which enhances existing outreach initiatives that link nonprofit organizations with their local schools and K-12 students. Higher Education Institute 011 Academic Service-Learning (July 1, 2001): The Institute is an annual conference focusing on education and dissemination of information on service-learning. Faculty and staff from higher education institutions in Michigan come to learn and share new information, explore service-learning pedagogy and network between institutions. Service Leaders/tip Camp (July 1, 2001): The camp is an annual weekend activity for college students who are campus community service leaders, to focus on organizing and improving their service activities for the year. Students and their advisors learn new information, develop a year plan and network with each other. Generally, 100-120 students attend from 10-14 public and private institutions. Grants (July 1, 2001): MCC has several grant programs that make a significant difference in college and universities starting and maintaining support for service-learning, community service and civic engagement. These grant programs include Venture Grants, Faculty Fellows Grants, Student Community Action Fund Grants, Corporation for National Service Grants, among other grant programs throughout the year. In 2000-2001 , MCC granted over $130,000 to 79 different grant programs that have resulted in model programs, new initiatives and campus support for service activities. Recognition (July 1, 2001): MCC supports two statewide recognition ceremonies to honor faculty, staff, students and administrators that participate in service-learning and community service. Annually, MCC honors faculty and staff from 35 institutions of higher education in Michigan. College students are nominated by campus staff or their community organization to be honored in an MCC statewide ceremony each April. In 2001 , MCC honored over 70 students. This recognition ceremony is a way to thank those who have worked hard to advance the use, value and understanding of community service and service-learning at their institution and/or throughout the state. Recognizing these individuals lends legitimacy and awareness to the work of community service-learning practitioners on and off campus. S \CMA\community foundations\ K.alamazoo\proposal narrative final 8-7-01 doc Page9of2 1 �Networking Meetings (July 1, 2001): MCC holds regular networking and informational meetings for Community Service Directors and service-learning faculty from our 35 member institutions. These meetings offer opportunities for these constituent groups to learn from each other and from professional development presentations. Constituents find that these meetings help bring new practitioners into the fold , and offer support for their activities. In 2000-2001 MCC held 8 such networking meetings. Student Community Action Network [SCAN] (July 1, 2001): SCAN serves as the student component of Michigan Campus Compact (MCC). It is the student voice that impacts decisions affecting community service made at state and local levels. SCAN unites Michigan student leaders engaged in service on their college campus and provides structured statewide opportunities for sharing campus activities, solving problems, discussing issues in community service and service-learning, and utilizing resources available throughout Michigan and nationally. The student representatives from each member institution obtain the knowledge and ability to further service initiatives on their campuses through eight yearly meetings. Regional Collaborations (July 1, 2003): Collaborations between campus programs in similar regions of the state or that are dealing with similar issues on community service and service-learning, will be fostered . Regionally in: Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Flint/Saginaw and Lansing. Issues: Rural; Urban,· Part-time staff; Full-time staff; and specific programs, such as, Tutoring, Community Building, etc. Regional collaboration will increase capacity of community service and service-learning programs. Specifically, collaborations will mean an increase in quality of one-time/one-day volunteerism projects, such as Make a Difference Day. Community based organizations will also benefit from bringing local college and universities together to plan events, because they will no longer need to develop special relationships with each campus for one-time events. Publications/Dissemination (July 1, 2002:) Service-learning publishing opportunities for faculty will be increased. These publications will support both the case for the use of service-learning pedagogy and the needs of faculty to publish. This initiative is member-driven because of the pressure to publish for faculty promotion. Also, publications provide the opportunity to develop the body of knowledge on the benefits of servicelearning and civic engagement in the classroom. Promoting Multi-Disciplinary Service-Leaming (July 1, 2003): Higher education faculty and staff will be trained to engage in multi-disciplinary service-learning initiatives. Increasing the disciplines involved with service-learning projects presents a well rounded look at community problems and will create better learning opportunities for students that help them to integrate service into their majors. In addition, multi-disciplinary servicelearning creates deeper service projects with greater capacity and impact and helps to institutionalize service-learning on college campuses. Student Civic Engagement Opportunities (July 1, 2002): Educational opportunities will be created for students to learn about civic engagement, such as: • Student led panels around the state on civic engagement topics, and • Statewide civic engagement conference for students. This will help to increase participation in civic education on college campuses and involve students in their own civic development. Michigan will model programs for the rest of the nation on college campuses. S:ICMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoolproposal narrative finaiS-7-0I.doc Page 10 of21 �Training and Technical Assistance Statewide Initiatives (July I, 200I): CMA will host Volunteerism SuperConference in collaboration with Volunteer Centers of Michigan and the Michigan Nonprofit Association. The SuperConference, a bi-annual event, attracts more than 1,000 participants for education and networking around the topics of volunteer management, motivation, outcomes and impact measurement, community leadership and others. The SuperConference addresses the full range of the volunteer sector, from youth to senior, new volunteer to 20 year veteran, program staff to executive director. The SuperConference draws national leaders as keynote speakers, boasting a history that includes Barbara Bush, Colin Powell and Mark Victor Hansen. The 2002 SuperConference, through the sponsorship of the Michigan Community Service Commission will feature a track for national service members and program managers as well as hosting the nationally recognized Prudential Youth Leadership Institute. Training and Technical Assistance (July I, 2001): In collaboration with local Volunteer Centers and Higher Education service-learning offices, CMA will establish five regional training hubs to ensure accessibility to vital training opportunities for local volunteer and service-learning organizations. Local partners (Volunteer Centers and service-learning offices) will help CMA identify training needs specific to local communities and host workshops and seminars. Additionally, CMA will collaborate with local management service organizations (MSO) and the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) in providing local nonprofit organizations access to capacity-building and nonprofit management training opportunities through the same training hubs. Training will include capacity-building workshops on Board Development and Training, Volunteer Management (recruitment, retention and recognition), and Nonprofit Management (through MSO and MNA). It will also include initiatives to link Volunteer Centers with local businesses. Topics will include Corporate and Business Volunteer Programming, and Corporate Councils. CMA will also work in conjunction with local MSOs and MNA to recruit a cadre of consultants assigned to specific geographic regions of the state. In addition to ensuring all geographic regions of the state have access to professional consultants to help develop organizational capacity, CMA will make available financial resources for such undertaking through a mini-grant process. Organization statement or policy regarding non-discrimination of employees and consumers Article ll of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Employment Policies and Procedures as approved February 1, 2001 specifically states: "CMA provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age sexual orientation, or disability, as defined by law, or status of a Vietnam-era or special disabled veteran, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. In addition, CMA complies with applicable state and local laws governing non-discrimination in employment. This policy applies to promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and all other terms and conditions of employment." 2. Project S ICMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoolproposal narrative finaiS-7-0 I.doe Page II of21 �Statement of Documented Need/Problems to be Addressed The establishment of the ConnectMichigan Alliance grew out of a two-year planning process engaging more than seventy local nonprofit leaders from communities throughout Michigan who recognized the need to deepen the quality and sustainability of Michigan 's volunteer infrastructure. Their charge was to create a vision for their local communities by drawing upon their common experiences in the development of a strategic plan to support volunteerism and service-learning at the local level. In their deliberations, planners considered the following facts: Overall Significance of Michigan's Nonprofit Sector • The nonprofit sector is growing faster than the overall Michigan economy which means its impact on the economy and quality of life in the state continues to significantly increase as well. According to a 1997 survey conducted by Public Sector Consultants (PSC), there are nearly 38,000 nonprofit organizations operating in Michigan with assets exceeding $60 billion. Overall Significance of Michigan's Volunteers • • • • Almost 90 percent of all charitable organizations participating in PSC's 1997 survey rely on volunteers. Charitable organizations indicated they averaged 180 volunteers and nearly 9,500 volunteer hours, which translates to 4.6 full-time workers per organization. PSC estimates that more than 1 million volunteers contribute nearly 60 million hours to Michigan nonprofit organizations, an equivalent of more than 28,000 full-time employees and nearly $760 million in donated labor. According to Michigan Giving & Volunteering, a 1999 statewide report published jointly by the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan Nonprofit Association, 46.7 percent of Michigan adults volunteered during the past twelve months - the majority indicating they are volunteering more hours annually than in the past. Also according to Michigan Giving & Volunteering, almost half of all those who volunteer donated their time to education in 1999, including public and private schools, daycare centers, and preschools. Michigan Giving & Volunteering also revealed that 81.3 percent of those who did not volunteer in 1999 indicated they had not been asked to do so - over half said they had been volunteers in the past. Changing Dynamics and Capacity Challenges in Supporting Volunteerism and ServiceLearning • As a requirement for graduation, many school districts and institutions of higher education are mandating students complete a set number of hours of volunteer service annually. While the intent is to civically engage young people in a meaningful experience, the need for formal training available to nonprofit organizations, to the schools and to the youth far exceeds its availability. U.S. Department of Education research shows that schools that mandate service as a component of graduation, but which do not provide adequate support, training and placement services fare no better than schools that do not require serviceemphasizing the need for more support and connections between schools and community based organizations. S \CMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoo\proposal narrative final8-7-01 doc Page 12 of21 �• • • • • Over the past ten years, a number of statewide organizations and initiatives have emerged in support of volunteerism and service-learning. The current operating environment is fragmented, which promotes the possibilities for duplication of effort, competition for limited fmancial resources and minimizes opportunities for collaboration in service to local nonprofits. Given these potential inefficiencies, it seems unlikely that Michigan 's volunteer sector will realize its full potential. A recent California study suggests that the average tenure for an executive director in the nonprofit sector is four to five years. The study cites stress over capacity issues as well as barriers to further career development as major factors. Michigan corporations are experiencing a growing need to engage in local initiatives to improve the quality of life in the communities in which they are located. Increasingly, communities are looking to their corporate citizens to provide human resources - board members and volunteers - in support of community projects. Both corporations and nonprofit organizations are experiencing challenges in terms of their organizational capacities to effectively manage, maintain and support this community resource. Michigan families are encountering external demands on their time as never before. A study recently published estimated that fathers spend less than two hours of quality time with their children on a weekly basis. Many families are looking for opportunities to tum demands upon their time into opportunities to spend quality time together. Families that seek to engage in civic activities find that opportunities do not fit their ever-demanding schedules, do not align with the interests of their family members and require more time than a family can provide in any single incidence. With the demand for quality, family volunteer experiences increasing, local nonprofit organizations need specialized training and technical assistance to effectively serve this constituency. The nonprofit sector is the fastest growing of all of Michigan ' s economic sectors. This growth has created significant challenges for nonprofit organizations in terms of their organizational capacities to develop and manage human and financial resources necessary to forward their vital missions in the communities they serve. While there are a number of training and technical assistance services offered to the sector, accessibility is a significant issue for nonprofit organizations due to geographic and financial barriers. As research and planning continued, it became apparent that the existing infrastructure systems would have to be substantially overhauled to increase the capacity to serve Michigan's volunteer network. While the issue oflimited financial resources created a significant barrier to this undertaking, failure to develop and implement the required statewide support infrastructure certainly put past gains and future visions of local communities at risk. CMA is the result of a two-year strategic planning process. Additionally, MNA and MCSC will share a central location with CMA and its affiliates, which will reduce administrative expenses and duplication of services. This arrangement, modeled after successful reorganization strategies in the private-for-profit sector, enhances the technological capacity and customer service models of the partners. CMA is a model for the sustainability and effective support for the state' s nonprofit sector, volunteers, and service-learning educators. List of Other Organizations or Partners Participating in the Project and Their Roles S·\CMA\community foundations\Kalamazoo\proposal narrative finaiS-7-01 doc Page 13of2 1 �Separate, but working in collaboration, the following organizations have combined to build a powerful force-infrastructure- for volunteerism in Michigan. Major components of CMA infrastructure include: Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) - an association of 35 Michigan colleges and universities that have joined a compact that works to instill an ethic of service and civic action in the college students of today. MCC works to educate, support and recognize institutions of higher learning and their individual administrators, staff, faculty and students, who want to be involved in promoting citizenship by encouraging service experiences for students. These experiences lay the foundation for a lifelong ethic of public responsibility and community service. Students learn to reflect critically on the world around them and take an active role in their community by becoming directly involved with social issues and their solutions. MCC is the first organization in the country to include its member presidents, students, faculty, and staff in the development and implementation of service initiatives. This innovative approach to community problemsolving is one of the reasons MCC is an accomplished national leader in the service field; Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) - a governmental body created by executive order of the Governor in 1991 and codified in state law in 1994 that promotes service and volunteerism by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts. With an annual budget of more than $13 million in state, federal and private funds , the MCSC is committed to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. The MCSC fulfills this mission through a number of programs, projects and activities. The MCSC also works to nurture the efforts of individuals, human service agencies, programs, businesses and corporations to maintain their momentum and help them grow to create partnerships for new opportunities for volunteerism and to marshal new or existing resources to meet the needs of the people and the communities we share. The MCSC is a catalyst for positive community change, stimulating innovative programs that meet community needs through service. MCSC is a convener to bring diverse individuals and groups together, building communities through shared efforts and common goals. MCSC acts as a broker of ideas and resources, encouraging collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to service and volunteer program development. Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA)- an association for nonprofits that gives voice and support to the vast array of nonprofit organizations and the constituents they serve throughout the state. MNA' s mission is to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan ' s nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of volunteerism and philanthropy in the state. MNA convenes nonprofit leaders as well as the leadership of government and private sectors. MNA increases understanding of the nonprofit sector, confronts common issues and concerns and promotes collaboration. MNA encourages voluntary giving and service. MNA disseminates information important to defining the sector, its scope and values on management/technical needs of organizations in the sector, fostering communication and collaboration in the public, private and nonprofit sectors. MNA takes an active role in public policy that affects the nonprofit sector. MNA provides programs and services that enhance the sector by strengthening organizational capacities; and Volunteer Centers of Michigan CVCM)- a statewide network of36 volunteer centers that help local communities match volunteers with volunteer opportunities. VCM ' s mission is to strengthen existing volunteer centers, to provide leadership in developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerism statewide. VCM supports local volunteer centers in their efforts to mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems. To this end, VCM programs and services include member mailings, workshops and seminars, local S:\CMA\community foundations\Kalamazoo\proposal narrative final 8-7-0I .doc Page 14 of21 �consultations, quarterly meetings, semiannual Volunteerism SuperConference, grantmaking, a resource library and public relations initiatives. VCM was the first management service organization of its type in the country to employ a fu11-time staff to more efficiently and effectively serve its constituency. In addition, VCM has developed a national model accreditation program for local volunteer centers. Description of How This Project Applies to Kalamazoo Community Foundation 's Operating Principles See the Broad View CMA is the result of a strategic planning process that engaged local Volunteer Centers and college and university service-learning programs in defining the futures of the local communities they serve. CMA was established to ensure an effective statewide infrastructure is in place to support initiatives to impact a neighborhood, an institution, and/or a system in local communities in every Michigan community. CMA will provide critical support to increase the organizational capacities of Kalamazoo-based initiatives. See the Long View Investing in CMA ensures the essential infrastructure necessary to support local volunteer and service-learning will remain in place into perpetuity. The quality of life of future Kalamazoo residents will be enhanced by your investment today. Create Synergies CMA is an excellent example of a good solution through the combined efforts of many. Local leaders from communities throughout the state collaborated in the development and establishment of this statewide support structure that is critical to the success of their efforts at the local level. And, by its very nature, CMA encourages communities to address systemic, concentrated issues by engaging multiple partners on multiple fronts to promote new solutions. CMA provides opportunities on local, regional, and statewide levels to network and disseminate information. Enhance Nonprofit Capacity CMA was established to positively impact the organizational capacities of local nonprofit organizations. CMA increases local nonprofit organizations accessibility to capacity-building training and technical assistance, and expands the promotion of volunteerism and civicengagement at the local level. Statement of Projects Efforts and Policies to Include and Involve Diverse Individuals and Groups By its very nature, ConnectMichigan Alliance will engage diverse individuals and groups. Both MCC and VCM are membership organizations supporting local nonprofit organizations that represent diverse constituencies that comprise the local communities in which they operate. Under the CMA administrative nexus, both organizations will continue to provide support, training and technical assistance to local nonprofit organizations and educational institutions as they work to improve the quality of life throughout their respective communities. 3. Evaluation Plans for Evaluation, Including How Success Will be Defined and Measured Evaluation has been a critical component of the work of the founding partners prior to the creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan S ICMAicommunity foundationsi Kalamazoolproposal nliiTlltive finaiS-7-01 doc Page 15of21 �Campus Compact and the Michigan Nonprofit Association have been contracting with the Ann Arbor based firm, Formative Evaluation Research Associates (FERA) since 1995 . The evaluation work has measured the success and challenges of programs and the overall effectiveness of the three organizations. The evaluation was utilized in the strategic planning efforts that led to the development of the ConnectMichigan Alliance. As CMA enters into its first fiscal year, it is essential that the evaluation work continue. The CMA Board ofTrustees has dedicated a portion of their September board meeting to discuss the development of an evaluation plan. The Board is developing a six member committee comprising of trustees from each of the four founding partners and two at-large members. The committee will be charged with the tasks of selecting an evaluation firm. CMA will conduct a request for proposal process to select an evaluator. It is anticipated that CMA Evaluation Committee will select an evaluator by early October. The committee will be looking for firms and individuals that have experience in not only program evaluation but also evaluating strategic alliances and mergers. As the Evaluation Committee works with the evaluator in the development of its evaluation plan, it will utilize three types of evaluation models: context, formative and outcome. The first model of context evaluation will be critically important as CMA documents the successes and challenges of working in a merged environment. Each region of the state has its own demographics, politics and nuances, which the context evaluation will be useful in assessing. As we develop programs and models with local organizations throughout the state, knowing the regional, political and cultural factors contribute or impede progress will be helpful in program design. The second model of formative evaluation will be important as we begin to develop new programs and evaluate our new strategic partnership. The board anticipates the new relationship will be continuously maturing and constant review of the process will strengthen the systems of CMA. The last model of outcome evaluation will be our primary methodology utilized in our evaluation plan. The organization will address the short and long term program objectives. The plan will be a key tool in satisfying program expansion and donor interest in the success of the endowment. As the board develops an external evaluation plan, the CMA staff is charged with the development of an internal evaluation plan. Staff will conduct program monitoring, event evaluations, constituent surveys and local focus groups. These activities are currently practiced by the existing organizations and have been found to be an effective tool in program development and enhancement. Description of How Evaluation Results Will be Used by the Organization Replication ofCMA in other states is very probable, as organizations throughout the country have expressed interest in establishing a similar strategy in their states. Evaluation results will not only be key to ensuring quality service in Michigan, but to also provide documented evidence of best practice to other states.

The Foundation focuses its giving on both Christian ministries and local organizations that build community. Organizations that are considered for a contribution are those with which Mr. or Mrs. DeVos have had a prior affiliation and are located in Western Michigan or Central Florida. Although your organization may have met some of the above criteria, we regret to inform you that after careful consideration of your request to match your challenge grant for the Connect Michigan Alliance Endowment Fund, the Foundation has decided not to provide you with a financial gift. Best wishes as you seek alternate sources of funding. Sincerely, Ginny Vander Hart Foundation Director GV:kv 500 (rand 'B<^ 'u^&n, iZff fOa<va &&*»«*>, &A(, anJ 'tlaUck, oMica*.

Richardson Mr. Richard DeVos RDV Corporation 126 Ottawa NW Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503 Campaign Cabinet Edward O. BlewCarolyn Bloodworth ISonie Brennan Dear Rich: Thank you so much for your interest in the ConnectMichigan Alliance, Michigan's vision for institutionalizing support for our state's volunteers. As we have discussed, the ConnectMichigan Alliance is a new public/private partnership being viewed as a national model for its new way of doing business in the nonprofit sector. The ConnectMichigan Alliance (an incorporated 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization) was created with the belief that it is at the community level that problems are solved, but it is the state level "infrastructure" that helps to develop and sustain local efforts. Rather than looking just to government to solve community problems, the ConnectMichigan Alliance partners the private sector with government to provide communities with the resources, technical assistance and long-term support to volunteers who help address our most vexing challenges. The Alliance will ensure that statewide support of volunteer efforts is insulated from the tides of political change and turmoil while reducing future dependence on government support. As you know, Michigan has a long history and tradition of creating innovative community solutions through public/private initiatives. Ours was one of the first states to create a state commission on service and volunteerism—the Michigan Community Service Commission. Michigan is the home to other nationally recognized firsts: forming a statewide nonprofit association, a coalition of higher education institutions that view service as an important part of campus life, and a trade association of volunteer centers—clearinghouses for volunteers and volunteer opportunities. Each of these organizations is coming together in a unique way through the ConnectMichigan Alliance. Stanley P. Caine Richard Cole Robert Collier Neeta Delaney David 0. Egner Eric R.

Steil Judy Tymowicz A proposal requesting $500,000 in financial support is attached and additional resource materials have been provided for your convenience.

Thank you again for your willingness to support the ConnectMichigan Alliance.

PURPOSE Discuss how to position a gift of $1 million with the Ford Motor Co. Fund for the ConnectMichigan Alliance II. BACKGROUND The Ford ~otor Co., Daimler/Chrysler and General Motors are all being approached for a $1 million gift to the ConnectMichigan Alliance-Michigan's effort to endow volunteerism. Ford Motor Company is the world's largest producer of trucks and the second~ largest producer of cars and trucks combined. It also is one of the largest providers of financial services worldwide. Ford Motor Company employs nearly 346,000 people around the world. In its 51 years, FQrd Motor Company Fund support for charitable groups and organizations doing important work has grown from $1.4 million to $82.7 million. Giving is focused around five areas; education, environment, health and welfare, civic affairs and public policy, and arts and humanities. Education as the top funding priority, has seen the largest growth since 1997, although giving in all areas has increased yearly. To date, the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign has secured $1 million level gifts from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C.S. Mott Foundation and a preliminary indication of a $1 million gift from the Dow Foundation CRanny called Sam to say that they are going to make the gift, but it isn't public yet). Detroit Edison has committed to a $350,000 gift, one of its largest ever. Hudson-Webber Foundation will be announcing a commitment of $100,000 soon. ···-··-··- ·-·····-·····-·· --- �COMMUNICATIONS , ,_ Fax:St?-335-6789 •-•-. ·-- - ·•• •-·- - -- "' ' ''"''"":'"' ~' "'' Sep 19 '01 9:14 ·, '' '"~"' "' --·-- "·~·-- ··-----• -o oo No o- oo• -••---.-~~ . ~ .

Through a $20 rn.illion endowrnent, the combined force$ of the Mi~gan Campus Comp,.ct (MCC), Michigan Community ~rvice Commission (MCSC), Michigan N onprofit Association (MNA) and the Volunteer Ce.nters of Michigan (VCM) permanently sustains and expands the ~volunteer infrastrucrure,. for which Michigan is known and heralded. All of the p£rtners of this initiative have developed innovati,·e approaches to working effectively on a statewid~ level with varied constituencies and serve as national models of ben practices. Once {he campaign is completed, the Co~meetMichigan A.lliallte (CMA) begins to achieve its goal of providing avenues for every MiclUg2.o citizen LO serve their ~ommunity throu~ volunteer service and ciYic action. This goal is met by: • Providing access to a strong and healthy Volunteer Center for every Michigan • Having every :Michigan college and university encourage ciriz.en service & learning among its students, faculty ud staff; Building strong nonprofits to met!t our commuwties' most pressing social, resident; • • chuitable, c:,.;oaomic, e\Jtural, educational, faith-based, and dvic neetk; artd Maximizing state and federal government resources tO empower communities to address their l~al challenges. a In creating CM.A.., the four foundi.ngpa..rtners, MCC, MCSC, :MNA and VCM, have created synergistic application of their services that results iJl a seamless delivery of support services and programs to volunteer and service· learning initiatives throughour the s•an:. While MNA 010d MCSC will remain separate entities, they will share a central location with CMA, which will reduce admi..nistnti ve expens~ and duplication of services. This arrangement, w hith is modeled after successful reorganization strategies in the private-for-profit sector, enhances technological capacity and customer service models of the partners. CMA is a statewide i.nitiatiV'e. The state of Michigan provided a S10 million challenge grant (S 1; Sl) ro~r.ard "this initiative. The C. S. Mot't Foundation and theW. K. Kellogg Foundation each responded to the ~hallenge with le~ gifts: of Sl million.

Impact: Local Volunteer Centers will become financially viable nonprofit organaations through the provision of technical assiStance in the development of annual fund advancement plans, and enhanced efforts to build local endowments. Challenge: Accessibility to volunteer opportunities and support is limited by the strength and depth of leadership i.n a community. Often leadership inYolves the same pool of volunteers and leaders who either move on or "bum our," lt:ot-ving the organization with our srrong and long term support. Goal: Increase Access to Professional Development Opportunities for Staff and Boards of Volunteer-based Nonprofits to Deepen the Leadership in a Community. Method: Support a regional network of training aJld teduucal assistance providers than can deliver high quality services at a reason;tb]e cost to local volunteer-based org:a.n.izations.
