Arend D . Lubbers Russell G. Mawby Barbat·a Mieras Community Foundations: Andrea F. Newma n We have received word that the Saginaw Community Foundation will be unable to honor our request. During a recent meeting of Campaign Staff, we organized our Community Foundation strategy for the second tier of the campaign . We will be sending a short update to the community foundations from which we have not received responses to our spring proposals. Additionally, we have updated some of the requests that we made earlier to the Community Foundations. This will help us to complete this aspect of the campaign .

We have closed the official "ask phase" of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Campus Compact Divisions . There will be a letter sent shortly to formally announce this to VCM Directors and MCC Presidents. Gifts will always be accepted from "family members", however, as we move into our Corporate Strategy, there will be less attention placed on th is phase. Attached you will find a copy of the VCM and MCC reports as they currently stand . Should any major change occur within this division , we will inform you . The Campaign Leadership staff recently met to determine the best approach for our Tier II Corporate Strategy. We will be releasing a list within the next week for your review in order to determine your relationships with the corporations that we felt best matched our campaign . We will invite you to add anyone you think would be a potential corporate contributor. Connect Michigan Alliance P.O .

During his residency, Lore was a W.K. Kellogg Foundation Intern. After completing his doctoral degree, he returned to Nazareth College as President from 1975 through 1980. In 1980, he was appointed President of the Michigan Colleges Foundation in Detroit. In June 1986, Lore was appointed Senior Vice President of St. John Health System, the largest of the four Regional Systems of the Sisters of St. Joseph Health System. In October 1993, Lore assumed responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the parent corporation, the Sisters of St. Joseph Health System in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In 1999, the Daughters of Charity National Health System and the Sisters of St. Joseph Health System joined ministries to create one of the nation's largest health systems with over 85,000 employees in 15 states and the District of Columbia. As one of the creators of Ascension Health, Lore was appointed Executive Vice President of System Development and Senior Vice President of the Great Lakes Division. In September 2001, Lore was appointed as the Founding President and Chief Executive Officer of Connect Michigan Alliance in Lansing. The Alliance is an uniquely funded public/private partnership formed to provide a cohesive network of support systems to build and strengthen communities throughout Michigan, working to solve local issues through volunteerism. Lore has served the State of Michigan through appointed positions under three Governors; William G. Milliken, James J. Blanchard, and John Engler.

As you know the Foundation Division has been extremely successful and we are in a position to complete that aspect of the campaign. We did add several foundations to our target list. Of those we added to the requests which are currently in process, we would like you to consider authoring the following letters: McKinley Foundation/Ron Weiser $50,000 Knight Foundation/Heath Meriwether $50,000 Gerber Foundation/Barbara Getz $25,000 Rotary Club Charities/Marcia Smith $50,000 Frederick S.

Newman Juan Olivarez Joel Orosz Terry Pruitt Judith Ann Rapanos Patricia Reynolds Anne Rosewarue Kathryn Rossow Peter Secchia Diana Sieger Glenn D. Steil Judy Tymowicz There are specific strategic reasons why we feel these proposals should be sent with your cover letter. If you are willing to be the signer we will develop draft letters for your approval. We scaled the amounts on previous grant patterns for these foundations. There was some sentiment to increasing the requested level of the McKinley request. We would appreciate your guidance on that issue. We will be making several more foundation requests. However, we will send those from the CMA Office. We would normally seek your involvement on the major requests of $500,000 or above, but because of the strategic nature of these particular requests we feel it would be more effective for you to send the cover letters. We can answer any questions you might have at the meeting on January 17,2001 Connect Michigan Alliance P.O. Box 22004 Lansing, Michigan 48909-2004 • phone 888-242-7075 fax 517-241-3869 Building.

General Contractors/Construction Managers January 21,2002 Mrs. Michelle Engler Connect Michigan Campaign PO Box 22004 Lansing, Ml 48909-2004 Dear Michelle: I have received your request on behalf of the Connect Michigan Campaign. We at Rockford Construction, and Chris and I personally, are in the process of completing all the commitments we have made to the various charities in need here in West Michigan. At this time, we have not completed where we stand financially. It is no secret that there is no shortage of places to put our funds and we have made major commitments to Ferris State University, Aquinas College Scholarship Fund, God's Kitchen, Henry Street Elementary School, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, as well as many others and do not want to make any commitments we can not keep. We should have everything finalized around April 15, 2002. At that point, we will have an opportunity to revisit this request. In the meantime, thank you for all the support you and John give to the State of Michigan. I look forward to chatting with you in the future. Respectfully, Rockford Construction Company, Inc.

Agencies that receive our support, therefore, enrich our local communities by making them safer and more prosperous places in which to live, work and grow. We are proud to help perpetuate West Michigan's quality of life through our support of education; community development and housing; health and human services; culture and arts; and civic and community programs. Bank One's local Corporate Contributions Committee has recently reviewed your request for a $150,000 grant for the CMA along with proposals of many other organizations. We looked at the requests based on our Corporate Contributions Guidelines, our previous mix of gifts to the community, and apparent need. While Committee members value your commitment to local non-profits and volunteer programs, we regret we are unable to support your request as our guidelines preclude support for endowment funds. As always, please call me at (616) 771-7409 if you have questions. Best wishes for a successful campaign. Sincerely, Ruth J.

Congratulations on your new venture. I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the current status of Connect Michigan Alliance. I promised to get back to you as to whether this project may fit within the Foundation's geographic and programmatic missions and therefore be considered by the Foundation. You identified the Learning to Give component of the Connect Michigan Alliance, in partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations, as the component most closely aligned with the programmatic and geographic missions of The Skillman Foundation. After an in-depth review the project as outlined in your Joint Venture Proposal, including review by the program staff of the Foundation, I regret to say that the proposed project does not fit within the Foundation's mission. Although the Learning to Give curriculum is an organized way for young people to learn about philanthropy, the Foundation does not support curriculum development or promotion of a specific curriculum. Our school reform initiatives under the Learning Opportunities program area of interest are aimed at improving student achievement through school-wide and district-wide systemic reforms. Chief among these initiatives are the Comer Schools and Families Initiative with the Detroit Public Schools and the Schools for the 21st Century initiative. Further, the Foundation's geographic focus generally precludes grants to organizations outside the tri-county area of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, even for programs that will be implemented in this area. In this case, the applicant organization is located in Lansing. Finally, the Foundation also does not make grants for endowments and the request is for an endowment. The Skillman Foundation wishes you and the Connect Michigan Alliance project all success in raising the necessary funds to meet the challenge grant. We regret that we are not able to support all of the terrific projects that impact children and youth that are presented to the Foundation, especially projects led by such highly effective staff and volunteers as the Connect Michigan Alliance. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Frank Fountain President, DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund Senior Vice President, Government Affairs DaimlerChrysler Corporation 1000 Chrysler Drive Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326-2766 Dear Frank: I am writing to share some great news about the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA). As you may recall from our conversation last summer, CMA is a cuttingedge initiative designed to provide long-term support for the thousands of people who volunteer daily in communities all across Michigan. We do this by bringing together the resources, expertise and leadership of Michigan's premiere statewide volunteer support organizations. John S. Lore, formerly with the Sisters of St. Joseph Health System, has agreed to take on the leadership reigns of the CMA and has been actively involved in moving our vision forward. John is a leader in the nonprofit sector and has a good deal of experience in helping grow innovative organizations. We are very excited about his appointment as President and CEO. In addition to our organizational development work, we have also made great strides in our endowment building efforts. As you know, the CMA Campaign is unique, not only because of the creative collaboration of the State's premiere volunteer oriented nonprofits, but also because of an innovative public/private partnership. The CMA will do its great work well into the future due to a $20 million permanent fund we are building with the help of a challenge grant from the State of Michigan and the private sector funds we have raised as a result. To date we have raised $5.5 million in private sector funds and that moves us over the halfway mark on the campaign! Neeta Delaney David 0. Egner Eric R. Gilbertson Karla Hall Dorothy A.

We also hope to announce that we will be completing the final portion of the campaign as we currently have a number of key requests pending. We believe the DaimlerChrylser Corporation is a vital potential partner in this endeavor and I would like to encourage you to join our campaign. I know that Terry Pruitt has spoken to you about how important it for us to include your organization in our campaign. You have our organizational materials from our meeting last summer and a proposal requesting a $1 million commitment. This is comparable to the request we made to both the Ford Motor Company Fund and the General Motors Corporation. I am excited and pleased to report that the Ford Motor Company Fund has committed $1 million to our effort. Ford's pledge, like all pledges to the CMA Campaign, is eligible for the State of Michigan match and can be distributed over multiple years. Should you need any information regarding pledges or the CMA, please feel free to contact me or John Lore, at (517)492-2442. Thank you in advance for your support. In light of recent events, it is clear that we need to support our volunteers and their community building efforts now more than ever. I hope the DaimlerChrysler Corporation will join us in our goal of endowing service and volunteerism in Michigan/ arm regards, Engler First Lady of Michigan cc: Terry Pruitt Julie Fisher Cummings Geneva Jones Williams � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Vivian and others were kind enough to let me know of your efforts, and I am very grateful for your consideration. I also wanted to share some great news concerning the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA). As you may recall from our conversation last summer, CMA is a cuttingedge initiative designed to provide long-term support for the thousands of people who volunteer daily in communities all across Michigan. We do this by bringing together the resources, expertise and leadership of Michigan's premiere statewide volunteer support organizations. John S. Lore, formerly with the Sisters of St. Joseph Health System, has agreed to take on the leadership reigns of the CMA and has been actively involved in moving our vision forward. John is a leader in the nonprofit sector and has a good deal of experience in helping grow innovative organizations. We are very excited about his appointment as President and CEO.

Johnson John Lore Arend D. Lubbers Russell G. Mawby Barbara Mieras Andrea F. Newman Juan Olivarez Joel Orosz Terry Pruitt Judith Ann Rapanos Patricia Reynolds Anne Rosewarne Kathryn Rossow Peter Secchia Diana Sieger Glenn D. Steil Judy Tymowicz In addition to our organizational development work, we have also made great strides in our endowment building efforts. As you know, the CMA Campaign is unique, not only because of the creative collaboration of the State's premiere volunteer oriented nonprofits, but also because of the innovative public/private partnership. The CMA will do its great work well into the future due to a $20 million permanent fund we are building with the help of a challenge grant from the State of Michigan and the private sector funds we have raised as a result. To date, we have raised $5.5 million in private sector funds and that moves us over the halfway mark on the campaign! Connect Michigan Alliance P.O.

Gillum January 30, 2002 Page 2 Soon we will be entering into the public phase of our campaign where we will be announcing the lead gifts that will include the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C.S. Mott Foundation and Hebert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation as givers at or above the one million dollar level. Our timing for this unveiling is April 29 -30, 2002 at our Volunteerism SuperConference in Lansing. This biennial event is our State's preeminent gathering of the volunteer sector and a logical opportunity to recognize the exemplary efforts of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign partners. We also hope to announce that we will be completing the final portion of the campaign as we currently have a number of key requests pending. We believe that General Motors is a vital potential partner in this endeavor and would like to encourage you to join our campaign. You have our organizational materials from our meeting last summer and I am enclosing a proposal for your consideration. We are requesting a $1 million commitment from General Motors. This is comparable to the request we made to both the Ford Motor Company Fund and the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund. I am excited and pleased to report that the Ford Motor Company Fund has committed $1 million to our effort. Ford's pledge, like all pledges to CMA Campaign, is eligible for the State of Michigan match and can be distributed over multiple years. Should you need any information regarding pledges or CMA, please feel free to contact me or John Lore at (517) 492-2442. Thank you in advance for your support. In light of recent events, it is clear that we need to support our volunteers and their community building efforts now more than ever. I hope the General Motors Corporation will join us in our goal of endowing service and volunteerism in Michigan/ regards, r, r Jll Michelle Engler First Lady of Michigan Enclosure cc: Vivian Rogers Pickard Julie Fisher Cummings Geneva Jones Williams � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This goal is met through: • • Building the capacity of local nonprofits to meet their most pressing social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based and civic needs; Providing access to strong and healthy Volunteer Centers for every Michigan citizen; Connect Michigan Alliance P.O.

CMA has already secured $5.5 million toward the State's $10 million challenge grant. The ConnectMichigan Alliance only has until September 30, 2002 to leverage the remaining $4.5 million. CMA forfeits the opportunity to earn any remaining balance of the state challenge grant after that date. Thank you for considering this request to strengthen volunteerism by supporting the advanced organizational capacities of local nonprofit organizations. Please feel free to contact me or John Lore, President and CEO of CMA, if you have any questions or need additional information.

Richardson March 1,2002 Dr. Robert Long Vice President for Programs Philanthropy and Volunteerism W.K. Kellogg Foundation One Michigan Avenue East Battle Creek, Michigan 49017 Dear Robert: ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) is requesting a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation of $500,000.00 for the next two fiscal years, to insure that the fundraising and programming capacity of the Alliance and those served by CMA is secured for the future. The specific amount requested from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation is $125,000.00 in the year 2002 and $125,000.00 in the year 2003. An equal amount is being requested from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. As a result of the declining economy and the terrorist action of September 11, 2001, the operational income expected from monies raised for CMA has fallen short of original projections. From the thirty major contributors who have supported CMA to date, in the amount of $5,507,660.00, only two have paid the pledge in total. The rest of the contributors have made pledges for multiple years, with the average being five years. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that the State of Michigan has been extremely generous in matching pledges as well as cash, the economy has been such that the interest earned on the approximately $7.5 million, in the permanent endowment, has been much less than budgeted for the operations and for the staffing of the program coordinator (who was to be hired in September of 2001), which has been pushed back to July of 2002. Because of this shortfall we will be required to seek permission to take funds from our permanent endowment corpus by April of this year, if we do not receive support from the W.K. Kellogg and Charles Stewart Mott Foundations. Campaign Cabinet Edward O. Blews Carolyn Bloodworth Nonie Brennan Stanley P. Caine Richard Cole Robert Collier Neeta Delaney David 0. Egner Eric R.

Connect Michigan Alliance P.O. Box 22004 Lansing, Michigan 48909-2004 • phone 888-242-7075 fax 517-241-3869 Building, Strengthening and Investing in Michigan Communities A partnership of: Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission. Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan �Dr. Robert Long Page 2 March 1,2002 CM A was created to ensure strong, stable and coordinated support for Michigan's volunteers. Through a $20 million endowment, CMA is uniting the combined forces of its founding partners to permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. All of the partners of this initiative have developed innovative approaches to working effectively on a statewide level with varied constituencies in ways that serve as national models. Once the campaign is complete, CMA will have the capacity to fully advance upon achieving its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This goal will be met in local communities throughout Michigan by: • • • • • • Providing increased access to training and technical assistance necessary to build the capacity of local nonprofits to meet their communities' most pressing social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based, and civic needs; Providing access to a strong and healthy Volunteer Center for every resident; Increasing grant opportunities for Volunteer Centers to engage more citizens in volunteerism and service; Increasing grant opportunities for service-learning programs to engage more young people in service; Maximizing state and federal government resources to empower local communities to address their local challenges; and Increasing the understanding and use of service-learning in the work of community-based nonprofits, K-12 schools and higher education institutions. CMA programs and services address four areas of need, which were identified through a two-year planning process that engaged more than seventy executives representing local nonprofit organizations. Those areas include Youth Volunteerism, Community Volunteerism, Higher Education, and Training and Technical Assistance. More than seventy local nonprofit leaders from communities throughout Michigan participated in a two-year planning process. Their charge was to create a vision for their local communities by drawing upon their common experiences �Dr. Robert Long Page 3 March 1,2002 in the development of a statewide strategic plan that would have significant impact and relevance at the local level. In their deliberations, planners considered the following facts: Overall Significance of Michigan's Volunteers • Almost 90 percent of all charitable organizations, participating in Public Sector Consultants' (PSC) 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. • 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 Service-Learning • 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 youth far exceeds its availability. • The percentage of students engaged in service-learning through institutions of higher education has annually increased at a double-digit pace over the past several years. Over 17 million hours of service were contributed by undergraduates nation wide. As this trend continues, institutions of higher education will require expanded support services such as those provided by CMA to ensure the quality of service-learning programs. • 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 �Dr. Robert Long Page 4 March 1,2002 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. • Family volunteerism is a growing trend as many families are looking for opportunities to spend quality time together in service to their communities. With the demand for quality family volunteer experiences increasing, local nonprofit organizations need specialized training and technical assistance to effectively serve this constituency. The ConnectMichigan Alliance endowment was created to provide resources for innovative grantmaking, program development, and operational costs. On an annual basis, the endowment allows the organization to sustain current initiatives and focus on the development of new programs. Though the endowment earnings will be significant, it is anticipated that the CMA will continue to fundraise on a limited basis. New dollars that CMA will seek on a limited basis will support new program development versus operational costs. CMA will rely on the endowment earnings, program fees, corporate sponsorships and fees for service for revenue generation. It is not anticipated that CMA will seek funding through membership or annual campaigns. Attached to this letter is a five year revenue and expense budget with a detailed memorandum on the start up year and years 2002 through 2006. Thank you for you consideration in this matter.

Because you are a newly created organization, we are not now making a final determination of your foundation status under section 509(a) of the Code. However, we have determined that you can reasonably expect to be a publicly supported organization described in sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Accordingly, during an advance ruling period you will be treated as a publicly supported organization, and not as a private foundation. This advance ruling period begins and ends on the dates shown above. Within 90 days after the end of your advance ruling period, you must send us the information needed to determine whether you have met the requirements of the applicable support test during the advance ruling period. If you establish that you have been a publicly supported organization, we will classify you as a section 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2) organization as long as you continue to meet the requirements of the applicable support test. If you do not meet the public support requirements during the advance ruling period, we will classify you as a private foundation for future periods. Also, if we classify you as a private foundation, we will treat you as a private foundation from your beginning date for purposes of section 507(d) and 4940. Grantors and contributors may rely on our determination that you are not a private foundation until 90 days after the end of your advance ruling period.

Blews Ca r olyn Bloodworth Nonie Brenn an Sta nl ey P. Caine Richard Cole Robert CoUi er Neeta Delaney David 0. Egner Dear Elan: Eric R . Gilbertso n CormectMichigan Alliance (CMA) is requesting a grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of $500,000.00 for the next two fiscal years, to insure that the fundraising and programming capacity of the Alliance and those served by CMA is secured for the future. The specific amount requested from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation is $125,000.00 in the year 2002 and $125,000.00 in the year 2003 . An equal amount has been awarded by the W .K. Kellogg Foundation. As a result of the declining economy and the terrorist action of September 11, 2001, the operational income expected from monies raised for CMA has fallen short of original projections. From the thirty major contributors who have supported CMA to date, in the amount of$5,507,660.00, only two have paid the pledge in total. The rest of the contributors have made pledges for multiple years, with the average being five years. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that the State of Michigan has been extremely generous in matching pledges as well as cash, the economy has been such that the interest earned on the approximately $7.5 million, in the permanent endowment, has been much less than budgeted for the operations and for the staffing of the program coordinator (who was to be hired in September of2001), which has been pushed back to July of2002. Because of this shortfall we will be required to seek permission to take funds from our permanent endowment corpus by April of this year, if we do not receive this support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.

Through a $20 million endowment, CMA is uniting the combined forces of its founding partners to permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. All of the partners of this initiative have developed innovative approaches to working effectively on a statewide level with varied constituencies in ways that serve as national models. Once the campaign is complete, CMA will have the capacity to fully advance upon achieving its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This goal will be met in local communities throughout Michigan by: • • • • • • Providing increased access to training and technical assistance necessary to build the capacity of local nonprofits to meet their communities' most pressing social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based, and civic needs; Providing access to a strong and healthy Volunteer Center for every resident; Increasing grant opportunities for Volunteer Centers to engage more citizens in volunteerism and service; Increasing grant opportunities for service-learning programs to engage more young people in service; Maximizing state and federal government resources to empower local communities to address their local challenges; and Increasing the understanding and use of service-learning in the work of community-based nonprofits, K -12 schoo Is and higher education institutions. CMA programs and services address four areas of need, which were identified through a two-year planning process that engaged more than seventy executives representing local nonprofit organizations. Those areas include Youth Volunteerism, Community Volunteerisrn, Higher Education, and Training and Technical Assistance. More than seventy local nonprofit leaders from communities throughout Michigan participated in a two-year planning process. Their charge was to create a vision for their local communities by drawing upon their common experiences �Mr. Elan Garonzik Page 3 March 7, 2002 in the development of a statewide strategic plan that would have significant impact and relevance at the local level. In their deliberations, planners considered the following facts : Overall Significance of Michigan's Volunteers • Almost 90 percent of all charitable organizations, participating in Public Sector Consultants' (PSC) 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 ofMichigan adults volunteered during the past twelve months - the majority indicating they are volunteering more hours annually than in the past. • 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 Service-Learning • 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 youth far exceeds its availability. • The percentage of students engaged in service-learning through institutions of higher education has annually increased at a double-digit pace over the past several years. Over 17 million hours of service were contributed by undergraduates nation wide. As this trend continues, institutions of higher education will require expanded support services such as those provided by CMA to ensure the quality of service-learning programs. • 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 �Mr. Elan Garonzik Page 4 March 7, 2002 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. • Family volunteerism is a growing trend as many families are looking for opportunities to spend quality time together in service to their communities. With the demand for quality family volunteer experiences increasing, local nonprofit organizations need specialized training and technical assistance to effectively serve this constituency. The CMA endowment was created to provide resources for innovative grantrnaking, program development, and operational costs. On an annual basis, the endowment allows the organization to sustain current initiatives and focus on the development of new programs. Though the endowment earnings will be significant, it is anticipated that CMA will continue to fundraise on a limited basis. New dollars that CMA will seek on a limited basis will support new program development versus operational costs. CMA will rely on the endowment earnings, program fees, corporate sponsorships and fees for service for revenue generation. It is not anticipated that CMA will seek funding through membership or annual campaigns. Attached to this letter is a five year revenue and expense budget with a detailed memorandum on the start up year and years 2002 through 2006. Thank you for you consideration in this matter.

Grantors and contributors may rely on our determination that you are not a private foundation until 90 days after the end of your advance ruling period. If you send us the reguired information within the 90 days, grantors and contributors may cont1nue to rely on the advance determination until we make Letter 1045 (DO/CG) �-2- CONNECTMICHIGAN ALLIANCE a final determination of your foundation status. If we publish a notice in the Internal Revenue Bulletin stating that we will no longer treat you as a publicly supported organization, grantors and contributors may not rely on this determination after the date we publish the notice. In addltion, if you lose your status as a publicly supported organization , and a grantor or contributor was responsible for, or was aware of, the act or failure to act , that resulted in your loss of such status, that person may not rely on this determination from the date of the act or failure to act. Also, if a grantor or contributor learned that we had given notice that you would be removed from c lassification as a publicly supported organization, then that person may not rely on this determination as of the date he or she acquired such knowledge. If you change your sources of support, your purposes, character, or method of operation , please let us know so we can consider the effect of the change on your exempt status and foundation status. If you amend your organizational document or bylaws, please send us a copy of the amended document or bylaws. Also, let us know all changes in your name or address. As of January 1, 1984, you are liable for social security taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act on amounts of $100 or more you pay to each of your employees during a calendar year. You are not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) . Organizati ons that are not private foundations are not subject to the private foundation excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, you are not automatically exempt from other federal excise taxes . If ·you have any questions about excise, employment , or other federal taxes, please let us know. Donors may deduct contributions to you as ~rovided in section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. Be~ests, legacies, devlses, transfers, or gifts to you or for your use are deductlble for Federal estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the applic a ble provi sions of sections 2055, 2106, and 2522 of the Code. Donors may deduct contributions to you only to the extent that their contributions are gifts, with no consideration received. Ticket purchases and similar payment s in conjunction with fundraising events may not necessarily qualify as dedu ctible contributions, dependin$ on the circumstances. Revenue Ruling 67-246, published in Cumulative Bulletln 1967-2, on page 104, gives guidelines regarding when taxpayers may deduct payments for admission to, or other participation in, f undraising activities for charity. Contributions to you are deductible by donors beginning October 11,2000. You are not required to file Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax, if your gross recei~ts each year are normally $25,000 or less. If you receive a Form 990 package ln the mall, simply attach the label ~rovided, check t he box in the heading to indicate that your annual gross recelpts are normally $25,000 or less, and sign the return. Because you will be treated as Letter 1045 (DO/CG) �-3- CONNECTMICHIGAN ALLIANCE a public charity for return filing purposes during your entire advance ruling period, you should file Form 990 for each year in ¥our advance ruling period that you exceed the $25,000 filing threshold even Lf your sources of support do not satisfy the public support test specified in the heading of this letter. If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of your annual accounting period. A penalty of $20 a day is charged when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause for the delay. However, the maximum penalty charged cannot exceed $10,000 or 5 percent of your gross recei~ts for the year, whichever is less. For organizations with gross rece1pts exceeding $1,000,000 in any year, the penalty is $100 per day per return, unless there is reasonable cause for the delay. The maximum penalty for an organization with gross receipts exceeding $1,000,000 shall not exceed $50,000. This penalty may also be charged if a return is not complete. So, please be sure your return is complete before you file it. You are not required to file federal income tax returns unless you are subject to the tax on unrelated business income under section 511 of the Code. If you are subject to this tax, you must file an income tax return on Form 990-T , Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. In this letter we are not determining whether any of your present or proposed activities are unrelated trade or business as defined in section 513 of the Code. You are required to make your annual information return, Form 990 or Form 990-EZ, available for public inspection for three years after the later of the due date of the return or the date the return is filed. You are also required to make available for public inspection your exemption application, any supporting documents, and your exemption letter. Copies of these documents are also required to be provided to any individual upon written or in person request without charge other than reasonable fees for copying and postage. You may fulfill this requirement by placing these documents on the Internet. Penalties may be imposed for failure to comply with these requirements. Additional information is available in Publication 557, Tax-Exempt Status for Your Organization, or you may call our toll free number shown above. You need an employer identification number even if you have no employees. If an em~loyer identification number was not entered on your application, we will ass1gn a number to you and advise you of it. Please use that number on all returns you file and in all correspondence with the Internal Revenue Service. In accordance with section 508(a) of the Code, the effective date of this determination letter is October 11,2000. This determination is based on evidence that your funds are dedicated to the purposes listed in section 501(c) (3) of the Code. To assure your continued exemption, you should keep records to show that funds are spent only for those purposes. If you distribute funds to other organizations, your records should show whether they are exempt under section 501(c) (3). In cases where the Letter 1045 (DO/CG) �-4- CONNECTMICHIGAN ALLIANCE recipient organization is not exempt under section SOl(c) (3), you must have evidence that the funds will remain dedicated to the required purposes and that the recipient will use the funds for those purposes. If you distribute funds to individuals, you should keep case histories showing the recipients' names, addresses, purposes of awards, manner of selection, and relationship (if any) to members, officers, trustees or donors of funds to you, so that you can substantiate upon request by the Internal Revenue Service any and all distributions you made to individuals.

Richardson The ConnectMichigan Alliance 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 sustains and expands the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. All of the partners of this initiative have developed innovative approaches to working effectively on a statewide level with varied constituencies and serve as national models of best practices. Once the campaign is completed, the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) begins to achieve its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This goal is met by: • • • • 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; Building strong nonprofits to meet our communities' most pressing social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based, and civic needs; and Maximizing state and federal government resources to empower communities to address their local challenges. In creating CMA, the four founding partners, MCC, MCSC, MNA and VCM, have created a synergistic application of their services that results in a seamless delivery of support services and programs to volunteer and service-learning initiatives throughout the state. While MNA and MCSC will remain separate entities, they will share a central location with CMA, which will reduce administrative expenses and duplication of services. This arrangement, which is modeled after successful reorganization strategies in the private-for-profit sector, enhances technological capacity and customer service models of the partners.

Connect Michigan Alliance P.O. Box 22004 Lansing, Michigan 48909-2004 • phone 888-242-7075 fax 517-241-3869 Building, Strengthening and Investing in Michigan Communities A partnership of: Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan �What will be the impact? The primary goal of the ConnectMichigan Alliance is to do more for Michigan's volunteers by bringing together the assets, energies and expertise of the state's largest statewide volunteer support organizations and focus their resources, technical assistance and awareness-raising tools on the good work of those who give. We know the challenges communities face—capacity, access, financial support and leadership above all. We know what to do to have a positive impact—build opportunities, provide knowledge and support, recruit the right people and encourage long-term commitments. Now we need to act. Here's how: Challenge: Currently, many Michigan citizens are unable to access a volunteer center—places where our individuals and organizations work to match volunteer opportunities with the right individual. Only 54 Michigan counties are currently served by a Volunteer Center. CMA Goal: Increase Access to Volunteer/Civic Engagement Initiatives through Volunteer Centers for All Michigan Citizens Method: Bolster the forces of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan through increased membership, outreach services and site development activities in a substantially different way than could be supported by a dues only supported organization. Impact: All of Michigan's 83 counties will be served by a local Volunteer Center and thereby providing universal access for every Michigan citizen to serve. Challenge: Volunteer Centers have limited access to fund advancement professionals. Goal: Centers Increase Long-term Financial Capacity of Local Volunteer Method: Provide training and technical assistance to Volunteer Centers and their boards in the areas of nonprofit best practices, fundraising, and board development. Impact: Local Volunteer Centers will become financially viable nonprofit organizations through the provision of technical assistance in the development of annual fund advancement plans, and enhanced efforts to build local endowments. S:\CMA\CAMPAIGN\case lUtemcntVCMA Impact on Michigan-Corporate Pitch.doc �Challenge: 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. 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 and technical assistance providers than can deliver high quality services at a reasonable cost to local volunteer-based organizations. Impact: Local organization will have a more skilled and dedicated volunteer base because of increased access to regional professional development workshops and seminars. Challenge: Nonprofits and volunteer-based organizations have been unable to stay ahead of emerging trends due to their inaccessibility to technical assistance and financial resources. Goal: Improve the Quality of Life in Every Michigan Community with Improved Nonprofits—the Engines of Civic Engagement in Local Communities Method: Provide grants, conferences and meeting opportunities to local nonprofits to strategically develop long-term solutions to community problems using service and volunteerism as strategies. Impact: Local organizations will have access to resources necessary to convene local partners in the development of market-specific programming that encourages youdi volunteerism, family volunteerism, rural business volunteer councils, and urban corporate volunteer councils. S:\CMA\CAMPAIGN\cue lUtoncnt\CMA Impact on Michigui-Corporac Pitch doc �Challenge: Citizenship, giving, civic engagement and an 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. Goal: Increase the Capacity for Personal and Educational Success of Children and Adolescents Method: Highlight service-learning as a viable and valuable teaching methodology with students, teachers and parents through school partnerships, after-school programs, teacher in-services. Impact: Local Volunteer Centers will develop service-learning and civic engagement programming promoting participation of children in grades K-12. Challenge: 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. Goal: Increase the Capacity for Success and Community Involvement of Young Adults Entering the Workforce. Method: Recruit more higher education chief executives to join the Campus Compact and provide increased services and resources to faculty and students. Impact: Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) will increase service learning and civic engagement programming to reach sixty-five post-secondary educational institutions. S:\CMA\CAMPAIGN\cue iutonent\CMA IirpKt on MJchigan-Corpome Pitch doc �Challenge: A number of events, programs and activities are conducted around the state to promote volunteerism, but they are scattered and not universally supported in every Michigan community. Goal: Improve the Quality of Life in Communities Throughout Michigan while Demonstrating and Promoting the Power of Volunteerism. Method: Develop a state calendar of national service days which are highlighted, promoted and coordinated throughout the ConnectMichigan Alliance. Impact: State level and local organizations will have increased capacity to engage all of Michigan's local communities in civic engagement programming that includes, but is not limited to, America's Promise, Make A Difference Day, National Volunteer Week, and Youth Service Day. Challenge: The tools and terms used to describe die effective means of volunteer community problem solving are not understood and therefore insufficiently supported. Goal: Increase Visibility of the Positive Impacts of ServiceLearning, Civic Engagement and Volunteerism Method: Devote human and financial resources toward improving promotional materials, media and access to media markets for ConnectMichigan Alliance and die field of nonprofits and volunteer-based organizations. Impact: State level and local organizations will have increased capacity to promote initiatives and recognize the impact of individuals and groups that participate in service-learning, civic engagement and volunteerism in communities throughout Michigan. S:\CMA\CAMPAIGN\casc fUUment\CMA Impact on Michigan-Corporate Pitch doc �3/14/2002 The ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign A Case for Support "Ensuring Michigan's Legacy of Volunteerism" The ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign ensures the strength and stability of 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 sustains and expands the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. Once the campaign is completed, the ConnectMichigan Alliance begins to achieve its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This goal is met by: • • • • 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; Building strong nonprofits to meet our communities' most pressing social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based, and civic needs; and Maximizing state and federal resources to empower communities to address their local challenges. "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. Romnej, 1907-1995 Governor Romney's words ring as true today as ever before. Volunteers and the positive impact they have on our communities can change the way we live. But what maintains the momentum for our volunteers? What supports their work and recognizes their efforts? What encourages all people to give their time, talents and resources to communities? The answer in Michigan is clear: Michigan has a proud tradition of supporting volunteer efforts through what we commonly call our nonprofit infrastructure. The Alliance: Genuine Collaboration Separate, but working in collaboration, these organizations have combined to build a powerful force for volunteerism in Michigan. Major components of the Alliance infrastructure include: • Michigan Campus Compact - an association of 33 colleges and universities that have joined a compact that works to instill an ethic of service-learning and civic action in the college students of today; �• • • Michigan Community Service Commission - a governmental body that promotes service and volunteerism by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts; Michigan Nonprofit Association - an association for nonprofits to give voice and build capacity of the vast array of the state's nonprofit organizations and the constituents they serve; and Volunteer Centers of Michigan - a statewide network of volunteer centers helping local communities solve community problems by matching volunteers with volunteer opportunities. In October of 2000, these partnering organizations (MCC, MCSC, MNA & VCM) committed to build a permanent infrastructure for volunteers in Michigan by forming the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance combines the leadership and resources of the four partnering organizations for the good of the volunteerism field. Never before has such a diverse and powerful partnership been formed on a statewide level. This innovative partnership leverages additional financial and human resources; reduces duplication of efforts; creates a seamless support structure for Michigan's volunteers; establishes new programs and initiatives; and eliminates wasteful expenditures of vital resources. The ConnectMichigan Alliance continues one of the states most powerful legacies - service and volunteerism. The Campaign Sustaining and strengthening these assets is the purpose of the ConnectMichigan Alliance and the goal of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign. At the completion of the campaign, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will be supported by a $20 million endowment that was created in an extraordinary way. In June 2000, Governor John Engler signed into law a bill providing a challenge grant to build the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment. This grant provides up to $10 million that must be matched on a one dollar for one dollar basis by the private sector no kter than November of 2002. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment represents an unprecedented public/private partnership that truly builds a longterm support mechanism for Michigan's volunteers. The Leadership The creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Leadership demonstrates the scope and depth of the ethic of service and volunteerism in Michigan. As we all know, community service and volunteerism realize their greatest potential when they become vehicles to connect people of differing and unique backgrounds to solve problems. Hence, the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign is supported and spear-headed by over 30 leaders from the philanthropic community, government, corporate sector and individuals concerned about supporting Michigan's volunteers. Michelle Engler, Michigan Community Service Commission; Julie Fisher-Cummings, Lovelight Foundation; and William Richardson, W. K. Kellogg Foundation provide leadership as the chairs of this blue-ribbon committee. S:VCMA\CAMPAIGNVCampaign Administntion\Fiiul Campaign Notebook\case statement <k>c �The Call to Action The ConnectMichigan Alliance will significantly strengthen efforts on behalf of thousands of nonprofit organizations working to improve the quality of life in communities throughout the state. This important alliance sustains state-level volunteer and service efforts. It is a partnership that will ensure the long-term success of vital programs in a way not possible without the alliance. The largest challenge each of the individual founding partners of the ConnectMichigan Alliance face is sustainability — how to provide effective and essential services and maintain their capacity to serve Michigan's citizens. Annual fundraising and constant budget cuts take away from the quality of support these organizations provide. In order to become stronger support agents of local change these groups need a powerful statewide network to provide resources, guidance and technical assistance whenever Michigan volunteers need them. As you have read, the current goal is to secure $20 million in endowment funds from two funding sources. The state of Michigan has challenged the private sector to match a $10 million challenge grant on a one dollar for one dollar basis, before November of 2002, for the purpose of creating an endowment that will continue the commitment to Michigan's volunteers into perpetuity. The endowment provides resources necessary to sustain the current level of quality service and programming as well as enhance and expand new and existing community and statewide programs. We have a unique and unprecedented opportunity to enhance the quality of life in communities throughout the state of Michigan and leave a legacy of volunteerism, servicelearning and civic engagement that will benefit generations to come. Now is the time to shape the future of Michigan's volunteers and those they serve. S:\CMA\CAMPAIGN\Curpaign Administranon\Final Campaign NotcbookScase statement doc �Putting it All in Context Mission: The ConnectMichigan Alliance promotes life-long community service and civic engagement through the support of community-building initiatives and strengthens the point of connection between those who want to help and those who need assistance. Rationale and Legacy Service: The Thread that Connects our Communities Individuals and communities, all around, constantly remind us that their challenges can often be traced back to how and whether individuals connect. In fact, it is this same "disconnectedness" that allows us to turn a blind eye to challenges within our community. Neighbor not understanding neighbor, adults not understanding children, places of worship not tolerating other places of worship and cultures not embracing other cultures are all fed by our inability to connect. It is the ease with which we leave our homes in the morning and return in the evening, having never interacted with members of our community, which promotes our sequestering. And yet, how many of us wish that we'd hear some "good news" about our communities for a change? There are an abundance of stories on the evening news about shootings at schools, neglect of the elderly and prevailing theft in our neighborhoods. However, there are equally compelling examples of our ability to reconnect individuals in communities through service to others that we do not hear. More than 80 percent of Americans agree, disconnection is an underlying characteristic of many of our social problems. And more than 90 percent of Americans believe that connecting with others and working together through volunteer service can bridge the differences that separate people and help solve community problems. Concerned citizens joining forces can reclaim their neighborhoods, shepard their children, protect their elders, teach their peers, and for all intensive purposes change the world. A visit to the Points of Light Foundation's web site (www.pointsoflight.orgX introduces you to daily Points of Light where everyday people are giving of themselves to create positive change where it is needed. There are many Michiganians in that proud company, lending support to our long-held belief that our state is a pkce of caring and compassion. ConnectMichigan Alliance: Tying Communities Together While much time is spent focusing on the "disconnect" of individuals from society in general, the ConnectMichigan Alliance addresses the disconnect on a different level — the detachment of those who want to be involved from those who need assistance. Our Mission is to promote life-long community service and civic engagement through the support of community-building initiatives. Our Goal is to ensure that any citizen who wishes to be involved has the opportunity to do so. S:\CMAVCAMPAlGN\C«mp*ign AdministntiwAFmal Campaign Noteboottcue ttttonent (upplancnt doc �Our Vision is that community service, volunteerism and civic engagement become engrained in the human ethic, and that it becomes so integral to our culture that it does not need a measure of distinction. While this initiative may be considered lofty, ambitious and idealistic, it should also be considered necessary and entirely possible. "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," said the late Governor George W. Romney. Michigan leaders have long envisioned volunteerism as an important support system for services and programs helping people throughout the state. This vision was exemplified by Governor Romney's passion for community that made him a very effective leader and citizen. Governor Romney declared, "The most powerful problem-solving force on earth is the organized voluntary cooperation of a free people." The governor was recognized nationally as a leader in the volunteer movement. He was the founder of the National Volunteer Center, served as a founding trustee of the Points of Light Foundation and the Michigan Nonprofit Association. Governor Romney also led the development of a number of community volunteer centers in Michigan. The vision and work of the late governor is the foundation on which Michigan has built an infrastructure to connect neighborhoods, communities, institutions and the state in volunteer service. Creating Connections Through Community Service The four organizations included in this new partnership, promoting statewide civic responsibility, currently provide programs and services that are the foundation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance: Michigan Campus Compact Connecting college students with their communities through community service, service-learning and civic engagement. Mission: Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) is a coalition of Michigan's university and college presidents whose purpose is to facilitate, on their campuses, a commitment to community service that will lead students to develop a life-long service ethic and will promote service-learning in the curriculum. Description: MCC is an association of 33 Michigan colleges and universities that promotes citizenship and civic responsibility for students, staff, faculty and campuses by encouraging service experiences for students. These experiences lay the foundation for a lifelong ethic of community service and civic responsibility. Students learn to reflect critically on the world around them, learn the power of their education and take an active role in their community by becoming directly involved with social problems and their solutions. S:\CMAVCAMPAIGN\Cunpaign AdministrmtxxiVFinal Campaign NotebooHcase lUtonent fupptement.doc �Founded in 1989 as one of the first state campus compacts, MCC began as a president's based demonstration project funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Initially, nine college and university presidents joined the Compact. However, MCC has grown to 33 members because of its success at serving young people, retaining existing members and attracting new campuses. Today, programs such as MCC's venture grants, recognition awards for students and faculty, training and leadership development continue to provide and expand volunteerism and civic action among college students and dieir campus communities. These activities legitimize and honor campuses, as well as prepare students and faculty to become more civically engaged in their communities and diroughout the state. Volunteer Centers of Michigan: Creating Opportunities for Local Community Connections Mission: Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is dedicated to mobilizing people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems. Description: VCM is part of the Volunteer Center National Network, working in partnership with the Points of Light Foundation to meet volunteer needs in 450 communities nationwide. VCM is recognized as a national leader in the volunteerism movement and was die first to hire a full-time staff. The organization achieves its mission by offering programs and services that connect people with opportunities to serve, building capacity for effective local volunteering, promoting volunteerism and participating in strategic initiatives that mobilize volunteers to meet local needs. VCM has 34 local community volunteer centers with many more in development. These local programs impact volunteers by providing them widi volunteer opportunities matched widi their skill and interest level. The local centers also impact nonprofits by providing diem with appropriate volunteers for their tasks. In fact, volunteer centers are evolving in their attempts to create meaningful community change by focusing dieir efforts around four core competencies: 1. Connecting people widi opportunities to serve (serves full community by maintaining accurate and timely information); 2. Building the capacity for effective local volunteering (training, technical assistance and support to local nonprofits); 3. Promoting volunteerism (recruitment and recognition activities); and 4. Participating in strategic initiatives (community problem-solving). The statewide Volunteer Centers of Michigan provides technical assistance to local volunteer centers through retreats; training; funding; and consultation to strengtiien dieir capacity to provide meaningful volunteer opportunities to their communities. Michigan Nonprofit Association: Increasing Nonprofit Capacity to Maximize Community Connections Mission: The Michigan Nonprofit Association's (MNA) mission is to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance die cause of volunteerism and philanthropy in the state. Description: MNA represents and serves nonprofits located in rural, suburban and metropolitan areas throughout Michigan. The membership of MNA believes that strong and vital nonprofits are essential in building and maintaining healdiy and vibrant communities. S \CMA\CAMPAJGNNCampaign Admin istralion\Final Campaign NotebookNcase tutemcnt supplement doc �Funded in part by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the C.S. Mott Foundation, MNA provides services and technical assistance to its members. Services provided include conferences and trainings designed to build organizational capacity, cost-effective insurance coverage for nonprofit organizations and employees, public policy updates, mini-grant funding to support volunteerism and discounts on a variety of publications. Founded in 1990, MNA has grown to 600 members who represent every part of the state as well as the great diversity of the sector. MNA is not only an important advocate for the nonprofit sector, it also acts as a clearinghouse where member organizations can share information, regardless of the barriers of distance or financial resources. The Michigan Community Service Commission: Encouraging Community Connections to Find Community Solutions Mission: The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Description: Governor Engler created MCSC in 1991 by Executive Order. The organization serves as a Grantmaker for local programs, administers national service programs including Learn and Serve programs and provides training for grantees. Among the organization's programs and services is America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth. Led by General Colin Powell since 1997, it is the goal of America's Promise to recruit youth volunteers and provide America's youth with the essential resources to become healthy and productive adults. Michigan's Promise is the state's response to the national America's Promise effort. Launched in 1997, the Michigan's Promise promotes services for children. MCSC also administers Make A Difference Day in Michigan. It is a day when friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers join with nonprofits, schools, local business and service organizations to take part in projects to better their communities. Michigan's Model: ConnectMichigao Alliati^ The ConnectMichigan Alliance will be funded, in large part, by an endowment created to ensure long-term sustainability while supporting the development of new and innovative programs to promote volunteerism and service-learning throughout Michigan. The ConnectMichigan Alliance vision is to secure $20 million in endowment funds from two funding streams. The state of Michigan has challenged the private sector to match $10 million, one dollar for one dollar, to initiate an endowment to continue Michigan's commitment to community service in perpetuity. The endowment will provide the funds necessary to sustain administration; services and programming at their current level; to enhance and expand current programs and services; and to develop new and innovative programs. In a recently completed visioning process, opportunities were identified to further the support and promotion of volunteerism and service throughout Michigan. Two priorities were established for the ConnectMichigan Alliance: S:VCMA\CAMPAIGN\Carapaign Administration\Final Campaign NotcbookVcase lUtemcnt supplement doc �1. The ConnectMichigan Alliance increases the organizational capacities of existing statewide volunteer, community service, civic engagement and service-learning infrastructure organizations and local organizations as they work together to address the increasing need for Michigan residents to have accessible opportunities to reconnect or remain connected with other individuals in their communities; and 2. The ConnectMichigan Alliance further reduces duplication of effort (a process begun in 1995), creating a sustainable annual support system for existing and developing volunteer and service-learning initiatives on both the state and local levels and preparing Michigan for potential changes in federal programs that support volunteerism and service-learning. Public Education Campaign The ConnectMichigan Alliance educates Michigan residents through the development and implementation of statewide public education campaigns in partnership with state and local organizations. Public education initiatives will be comprehensive in nature with an emphasis on identifying issues and opportunities, and recognition efforts on the part of individuals and organizations throughout the state. Resource Development The ConnectMichigan Alliance enhances and expands the training and technical assistance capacities of both MCC and VCM. The ConnectMichigan Alliance provides expanded resources in the form of grants to local initiatives. The ConnectMichigan Alliance also develops a broad range of resource material for local communities in the areas of volunteer development, service-learning programming, establishing and nurturing collaborative efforts, and managing statistical and volunteer management. Strengthen Infrastructures Increased capacity enables the ConnectMichigan Alliance to enhance and expand existing MCC and VCM program and services; including grantmaking to local volunteer centers, institutions of higher learning and local initiatives; enhancing the technological capacity of volunteer and service-learning initiatives throughout the state; and providing opportunities for young people and families by developing and implementing grant opportunities for youth initiatives. The ConnectMichigan Alliance reduces administrative overhead and duplication in existing statewide volunteer and service-learning initiatives. For the first time, statewide volunteer and service-learning programs and services for people of all ages will be housed under one roof - - under one administration. Network Development The current state of disconnectedness is not limited to individuals. The ConnectMichigan Alliance continues and expands existing networks that support association discussion and training covering a broad base of topics that rekte to all organizations utilizing volunteers and conducting servicelearning initiatives. Network discussion also facilitates the dialogue and development of training, workshops and conferences focusing on specialized needs of local and regional organizations. S:\CMAVCAMPAIGN\Ctmpaign Admmistration\Fmal Campaign NotebookVase statement supplement doc �Another area of focus for the ConnectMichigan Alliance is research and development of corporate volunteer councils and statewide networks that support them. Mobilization of People Improving connection within communities throughout Michigan is the strategy that achieves the ultimate goal of the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The strategy builds upon existing initiatives including 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 are structured to engage entire communities in meaningful activities designed to promote continued civic engagement and connectedness. Conclusion The leadership of Michigan envisions a day when individuals work with neighbors to solve some of the challenges facing their community. To help end the disconnectedness felt by many in this state, everyone from the young to the elderly must have opportunities to participate in service-learning and volunteerism. When people work together, they begin to work through differences and begin to build the shared understanding that exists in resolving conflicts. By spanning the continuum of age, race, religion and income level the ConnectMichigan Alliance will continue to strengthen our heritage and history, creating a solution to the disconnect felt by so many in our society. These challenging times demand that an organization step forward and provide the leadership to initate a new level of engagement — that organization is the ConnectMichigan Alliance.

We have been awarded a $1,000,000 grant for the ConnectMichigan Alliance. Because the grant is contingent on the successful completion of the endowment campaign, our $1,000,000 request from DaimlerChrysler can be leveraged with this $1,000,000, as well as the match of $1,000,000 provided by the State of Michigan. We had an excellent meeting with the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Committee on March 26, 2002, and the report was exciting! We have received pledges and gifts totaling over $7,000,000. Frank, in order to successfully complete this campaign, we will need the support of DaimlerChrysler. Because of the challenge from the State of Michigan and from The Kresge Foundation, your gift of $1,000,000 will actually produce $3,000,000 in perpetuity to strengthen volunteerism in Michigan. Enclosed is a copy of the award letter from The Kresge Foundation. Campaign Cabinet Edward 0. Blews Carolyn Bloodworth Nonie Brennan Stanley P.

Johnson John Lore Dear Rod: Arend D. Lubbers Great news from The Kresge Foundation! We have been awarded a $1,000,000 grant for the ConnectMichigan Alliance. Because the grant is contingent on the successful completion of the endowment campaign, our $1,000,000 request from General Motors can be leveraged with this $1,000,000, as well as the match of $1,000,000 provided by the State of Michigan. Russell G. Mawby Barbara Mieras Andrea F. Newman Juan Olivarez Joel Ot·osz Terry Pruitt Judith Ann Rapanos We had an excellent meeting with the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Committee on March 26, 2002, and the report was exciting! We have received pledges and gifts totaling over $7,000,000. Rod, in order to successfully complete this campaign, we will need the support of General Motors. Because of the challenge from the State of Michigan and from The Kresge Foundation, your gift of$1,000,000 will actually produce $3,000,000 in perpetuity to strengthen volunteerism in Michigan.

Richardson Campaign Cabinet Edward O. Blews Carolyn Bloodworth Dear Rich: Pete Secchia has informed me that you may reconsider our original proposal. John and I thought that a report on our progress towards leveraging the state's $10 million match in creating a $20 million endowment fund might be useful in your deliberations. As of today, ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) has realized over $7 million of its $10 million goal. Last week we received a major boost to the campaign as The Kresge Foundation pledged a $1 million challenge grant to raise the remaining $3.4 million. We expect favorable responses regarding at least two other major requests in the next sixty days. John met with General Motors last week and we are hopeful. There are four geographic regions to the CMA campaign. We have every indication at this point that we will reach our campaign goals in Southeastern Michigan, Midland and out-state communities. Your favorable disposition to CMA's request would be very timely as several requests are currently under consideration in West Michigan. An updated version of CMA's original proposal is attached. Your support will be part of a $20 million endowment supporting volunteerism and service throughout the state. Because of the state commitment, your contribution will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, by the State of Michigan. Your support will also help to leverage the $1 million challenge grant from The Kresge Foundation. Nonie Brennan Stanley P. Caine Richard Cole Robert Collier Neeta Delaney David 0. Egner Eric R.

Box 22004 Lansing, Michigan 48909-2004 • phone 888-242-7075 fax 517-241-3869 Building, Strengthening and Investing in Michigan Communities A partnership of: Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan �Grant Request Date: April 12, 2002 Applicant: ConnectMichigan Alliance John S. Lore, President and CEO Amount Requested: $500,000 Summary: CMA was created to ensure strong, stable and coordinated support for Michigan's volunteers. Through a $20 million endowment, CMA is uniting the combined forces of its four founding partners; Michigan Campus Compact; Michigan Community Service Commission; Michigan Nonprofit Association; and Volunteer Centers of Michigan, to permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. Once the campaign is complete, CMA will have the capacity to fully advance upon achieving its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This goal will be met in local communities throughout Michigan by: • • • • Increasing access to training and technical assistance necessary to build the capacity of local nonprofits to address communities' social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based, and civic needs; Increasing grant opportunities to engage more citizens in volunteerism and service; Maximizing public resources to empower local communities to address their local challenges; and Increasing the understanding and use of service-learning in the work of community-based nonprofits, K-12 schools and higher education institutions. Local Impact: CMA creates a more comprehensive and collaborative approach to community building, improving the ability of West-Michigan nonprofit and public organizations and institutions to address local needs. As a partner in local initiatives, CMA is not prescriptive in the application of its resources. Local nonprofits identify community needs and access and apply CMA programs and services in a manner that best serves the West-Michigan area. In West Michigan, CMA will work closely with the Heart of West Michigan Volunteer Center, Aquinas College, Davenport University, Calvin College, Grand Rapids Community College, Grand Valley State University, local school districts such as Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the Grand Rapids Community Foundation. These collaborative partnerships will ensure CMA programs and services enhance the capacity of local nonprofit organizations that contribute significantly to improving the quality in West Michigan. The following illustrate CMA's direct impact on West Michigan • • • • • • • Nonprofit organizations will have more skilled and dedicated volunteers and board members because of increased access to regional professional development workshops and seminars. The Heart of West Michigan Volunteer Center will increase its organizational capacity to provide universal access for every local citizen to serve. Nonprofit organizations will have access to resources necessary to convene local partners in the development of marketspecific programming that encourages youth volunteerism, family volunteerism, rural business volunteer councils, and urban corporate volunteer councils. Thousands of local students will experience the benefits of volunteerism before graduating from high school and will have increased learning through "hands-on" and meaningful learning opportunities that are tied to "real-life" experiences. Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) will increase service-learning and civic engagement programming to reach all West Michigan institutions of higher education. This programming will involve thousands of students in local volunteer activities throughout the community. Nonprofit organizations will have increased capacity for programming that may include, but is not limited to, America's Promise, Make A Difference Day, National Volunteer Week, and National Youth Service Day. Nonprofit organizations will have increased capacity to promote initiatives and recognize the impact of individuals and groups that participate in service-learning, civic engagement and volunteerism in communities throughout West Michigan. Funding: In June 2000, Governor Engler and the Michigan Legislature provided a challenge grant for the CMA Endowment. This grant provides up to $10 million that must be matched dollar-for-dollar by November 2002. The CMA Endowment Fund is managed by the Capital Region Community Foundation, 6053 Executive Drive, Suite 104, Lansing, MI 48911.
