I’d like to give you an idea of what I’ll share with you today in our short time together. 2 �3 �4 �5 �6 �7 �8 �9 �10 �11 �12 �13 �14 �15 �16 �CMA sustains and grows volunteerism through work in four primary areas: Volunteerism – All our partners have volunteerism at the center of everything they do. Our programs get everyone from young people to senior citizens involved in volunteering in their communities to instill an ethic of service and address local problems and needs. For example, Volunteer Centers of Michigan offers a wealth of volunteer opportunities through its support and promotion of local volunteer centers. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) provides many volunteer opportunities through its Adopt-A-Highway program and its work with national programs like AmeriCorps and Vista. CMA administers the America’s Promise/Michigan’s Promise by promoting volunteer opportunities for citizens interested in providing the five promises to Michigan’s youth. Grantmaking – CMA partners promote volunteerism through grants that help support volunteer programs. For example, MCSC grants over $1 million annually through its Volunteer Investment grants and acts as the conduit for federal funds. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) also awards grants to new projects on college and university campuses two times each school year. Additionally, it provides funding through the Student Community Action Fund 17 �and the Campus Dialogue Grants. Training and Technical Assistance – Our partners offer training and technical assistance so that volunteers have the skills they need to maximize their involvement. A prime example of that are the workshops that the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) hold for volunteer center managers on best practices in running their centers, recruiting and using volunteers, using technology and so forth. The Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) has several training and knowledge opportunities, including the Local Learning Series which is designed for people who work for non-profit organizations and need to learn more about technology, finances, working with the media, etc. MCC provides training and technical assistance through a Teacher-Education Institute and the annual Institute on Academic Service-Learning, as well as providing professional development opportunities for faculty and staff. Last, but not least, America’s Promise/Michigan’s Promise provides training to local promise sites through the national initiative, as well as providing best practice sharing opportunities. Service-Learning – In this area, the MCC promotes the education and commitment of Michigan college students to be civically engaged citizens by creating and expanding academic, co-curricular and campus-wide opportunities for community service. In addition, the MCSC administers Learn and Serve grants. I’ve listed just a few of our programs as examples of what we do.

The Campaign will connect the idealism and activism of children with the immediate and long-term needs and priorities of those on the frontlines helping the people and places devastated by the tsunamis. The Quarters From Kids Coalition is made up of more than 39 organizations (and the list is growing daily) including educators, service organizations, and social entrepreneurs that collectively work with more than 10 million children across America. The goal of this historic nationwide campaign by America’s kids is relieve suffering, prevent further loss of life, and improve the long-term prospects of children and adults affected by the Tsunami in South and Southeast Asia. The strategy is to involve every one of America’s kids and youth (and adults who work with them) to raise millions to support the urgent humanitarian need and the long-term redevelopment needs in all countries hit by the Tsunami. There are very specific, concrete roles for anyone who wishes to join this broad and inclusive coalition to help achieve that goal. Roles are described below for children and youth, college students, educators and others who work with young people, parents, corporations (including banks, retail stores, high-tech companies and others), non-profit organizations, social entrepreneurs, and the wide array of highly respected relief and redevelopment organizations who will get and use these funds to help those in urgent need in South and Southeast Asia. This campaign is reaching out to children to give them a vehicle to collectively use their power, generosity, and leadership to help those affected by raising money, quarter by quarter (or dollar by dollar, nickel by nickle, etc.), by becoming educated about the impact of the tsunami on children in South and Southeast Asia, and by sharing stories about the power and impact of our children’s actions and generosity. Funds raised through Quarters From Kids will be sent directly to highly respected organizations listed on our website involved with relief and redevelopment work. This is not a new organization receiving funding and is * This website has not yet been launched, but we expect to have it up and running by Friday, January 7th. 1 �DRAFT Recommendation from Systems & Program Committee 1/4/05 4:00pm Not for widespread distribution not an intermediary for funding – but a way to galvanize and tabulate the contributions of America’s young people and adults who work with them. Quarters From Kids proves that small acts can have a big impact and helps young people share their power as leaders and civic forces to address dire human needs. How it Works: Quarters from Kids is a grassroots initiative to engage America’s children in raising money for relief and long-term redevelopment for those affected by the tsunamis and the aftermath. Information about Quarters From Kids is available on the Quarters From Kids website (www.QuartersFromKids.org*) where children and organizations can find all the tools they need to get involved with this campaign. Google has agreed to be a major partner by hosting and providing other resources and guidance to develop this website. This website will update the amount raised by Quarters From Kids for tsunami relief on a daily basis, so everyone can track the progress of the campaign. The QuartersFromKids.org website will serve as a central clearinghouse for sharing total contributions, fundraising initiatives, rebuilding accomplishments, educational materials and individual stories about the way children are helping.

College students can participate by collecting and raising money and by engaging children and youth in Quarters From Kids.

Why? Because in 2005, Michigan garnered approximately $23.5 million in funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service for its programs: AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps*VISTA, Learn and Serve, and Senior Corps (Foster Grandparent, Senior Companions and RSVP). This investment leverages additional funding including more than $6 million in state funding for Senior Corps and AmeriCorps State programs. Ensuring that this public investment continues is paramount to guaranteeing that national service is available for every Michigan citizen. The ConnectMichigan Alliance would like to convene a group of national service grantees, statewide nonprofit associations and other organizations, as well as state and federal governmental agencies that support service and volunteerism among their constituents and networks. The ConnectMichigan Alliance would like to work with you to build a state partnership to:    keep national service supporters and policy makers apprised of the value of national service, ensure collaboration of programs, and plan joint regional and state service and volunteerism activities. As a first step toward forming this relationship, the ConnectMichigan Alliance would like to work with all Michigan-based national service organizations and supporters to craft a letter to the Michigan Congressional Delegation describing our state’s position on the budget of the Corporation for National and Community Service as presented to the House Appropriations Subcommittee (www.cns.gov/news/davideisner/05_0420a.html). If you are interested in participating in a partnership, want to assist in the creation and endorsement of a letter, or just want to remain informed, please fill out the attached form and send it to Kyle Caldwell, President and CEO of the ConnectMichigan Alliance at the address listed. The ConnectMichigan Alliance looks forward to working with you to advance the goals of national and community service in Michigan. Thank you.

In 2005, Michigan garnered approximately $23.5 million in funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service for its programs: AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps*VISTA, Learn and Serve, and Senior Corps (Foster Grandparent, Senior Companions and RSVP). This investment leverages additional funding including more than $6 million in state funding for Senior Corps and AmeriCorps State programs. Ensuring that this public investment continues is paramount to guaranteeing that national service is available for every Michigan citizen. Currently, the Senior Corps programs have representative organizations that give voice to their issues to state and federal elected officials and policy makers. No similar network exists for Michigan’s AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve and AmeriCorps*VISTA programs. The ConnectMichigan Alliance would like to convene a group of national service grantees, statewide nonprofit associations and other organizations, as well as state and federal governmental agencies that support service and volunteerism among their constituents and networks. The ConnectMichigan Alliance would like to work with you to build a state partnership to:     get the word out about funding and other opportunities, keep national service supporters and policy makers apprised of the value of national service, ensure collaboration of programs, and plan joint regional and state service and volunteerism activities. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Commission fosters collaboration among state agencies, colleges, universities, federal agencies, and community volunteer programs by serving as convener of organizations with common interests and catalyst for action on volunteer service initiatives. Symposium Goals. 1. Engage in a very interactive process that permits Maine’s strategic thinkers to consider what aspects of the Voluntary Sector Initiative might strengthen Maine’s community volunteer sector. 2. Learn about the Voluntary Sector Initiative from key Canadian leaders: • What was the context and motivation for the VSI partners? • What are the key points of the Accord and Codes of Best Practice? • What effect has the VSI process and its products had on relations between the voluntary sector and Canadian government and the capacity of each to fulfill common goals? • What lessons have been learned through the experience of implementation? 3. Explore (in small group discussions) how the provincial volunteer sector and government work in 5 areas: environment, housing, literacy/education, public safety, and elder services. What best practices align with the Codes? 4. By reflecting on case studies from Newfoundland, Labrador, and New Brunswick, examine the possible benefits, challenges, and opportunities of developing a Maine initiative that incorporates aspects of the VSI Codes. 4 Canada’s Voluntary Sector Initiative (VSI) is a “co-managed experiment at building a working relationship between the federal [Canadian] government and the voluntary sector” which led to signing of an Accord between the two sectors and establishment of six joint work groups focused on specific areas: policy dialog, funding, information management and technology, government regulations, volunteer sector capacity, and awareness. The Accord articulates the common values of both sectors, identifies principles for implementing the accord, and outlines the commitments by both to actions aimed at strengthening the partnership. The results of work by two groups produced “Codes of Practice” which implement the accord and take the government-voluntary sector relationship to a new level of partnership. Why are the Commission and its partners convening this symposium? The Maine volunteer sector is an essential part of every sustainable community. Through volunteer organizations and programs, citizens connect with each other, solve problems, and donate their time in order to stretch limited public and private financial resources. Yet, it is not formally recognized as a sector in public discussion or planning. Its identity and issues are subsumed under the category of “nonprofit”. The voluntary sector in Canada is not synonymous with the non-profit sector. It has been recognized as a distinct segment of community organizations. It is similar to businesses in Maine’s “creative economy” that are a part of the private sector, but grapple with issues not necessarily addressed by the dominant business community. The Voluntary Sector Initiative is rooted in the 2001 United Nations International Year of Volunteers. From 1999 to 2002, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Republic of Ireland convened initiatives to strengthen the relationship between each country’s government and its voluntary sector. These Initiatives were happening at the same time the concepts of social capital and civic engagement were emerging as themes in the United States. Canada has gone the furthest with implementation among the countries that undertook the process. The Maine Commission for Community Service hopes to spark discussion about differentiating the volunteer sector and the larger nonprofit sector by exploring the 5-year experience of our Canadian neighbors with their help. Who Should Come? 4 Volunteer and nonprofit organizational leadership 4 Government representatives who fund volunteer programs or rely on volunteers to accomplish mission-related services 4 Lawmakers, regulators, and civic leaders (towns, counties, and the State) 4 Private grantmakers, foundations, and corporate donation managers 4 University and College faculty with special interests in nonprofits, social capital, community development Preparation. Participants are strongly urged to read 3 short documents: the Accord and both Codes of Best Practice. We will send an email link to everyone who registers. If you wish to explore the Voluntary Sector Initiative more thoroughly, visit www.MaineServiceCommission.gov or www.VolunteerMaine.org where there will be a link to the Canadian site. Early Arrivals.

We ask that you and your colleagues in the U.S. Congress consider and support our recommendations for National Service funding. The Corporation is an independent federal agency that provided $22.3 million in funding to Michigan last year. Those funds leveraged more than 76,000 volunteer participants and over 120 program sites, projects and grantees. These volunteers serve in national service programs that include Learn and Serve America, Senior Corps, AmeriCorps State and National, and AmeriCorps Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA). A brief profile of National Service funding and local sites in Michigan is attached for your review (or you can view it online at www.cns.gov/state_profiles/). In Michigan, funding from the Corporation is administered through the Corporation’s Michigan Office in Detroit and the Michigan Community Service Commission—a state agency based in Lansing and appointed by Governor Granholm. These organizations work cooperatively to get national service participants to local nonprofits including volunteer centers, human service agencies, schools and higher education institutions that in turn recruit and coordinate other volunteers to address local needs. Volunteers in National Service work on critical community issues including poverty, education, housing, public safety, the environment, homeland security and other human needs. All over Michigan and across America, the Corporation’s programs support President Bush’s Call to Service and his goal for every person in America to dedicate at least two years or 4,000 hours during their lifetime to the service of others. Since its creation in 1993, the Corporation has worked with Congress to take strong and bold steps toward innovation and reform. AmeriCorps, Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America programs were some of the first to work with faith-based organizations, on homeland security initiatives and in engaging the Baby Boomer generation in volunteerism. More recently, the President has installed a new leadership team and the Corporation has embarked on a rulemaking process that will impact every aspect of the organization’s activities. Now the Corporation’s programs are working even harder to meet the increasing demand of our nation’s communities. Below is a description of these high impact initiatives. AmeriCorps State and National is a network of state commissions and nonprofit organizations that utilize service as a strategy to meet community needs. More than 1,200 members serve in 71 program sites across Michigan, leveraging more than $3.9 million in education awards and millions more in public and private sector resources. The Michigan Community Service Commission distributes and monitors 59% of the grants to AmeriCorps programs in Michigan. Local communities identify their needs, choose the model that can best address their needs, and compete with other local organizations for national service funding through the Commission and State Office to support their programs. AmeriCorps, like all programs administered by the Corporation, is grassroots driven and facilitated by the state and federal levels. AmeriCorps members completing a year of service are eligible for an education award worth $4,725 that can �be used to pay educational costs at qualified advanced education institutions. Education Awards are administered through the National Service Trust to guarantee availability. Michigan is engaging 1,290 AmeriCorps members. They are part of the 75,000 members serving across the country who are helping to recruit, engage and train more than 600,000 community volunteers to directly serve more than 2 million children and youth. For FY 2006, we support $442 million for AmeriCorps grants to state programs and national nonprofits, which operate sites in Michigan. In addition, we support funding the National Service Trust equal to the funding level requested by the President for FY 2005. This would empower the Corporation to continue to effectively recruit 75,000 AmeriCorps members for 2006. AmeriCorps NCCC and AmeriCorps*VISTA work on project based needs and the needs of the poor respectively. These are valuable components to the AmeriCorps network. We support $25.5 million for AmeriCorps NCCC and $94.6 million for AmeriCorps*VISTA which will help ensure that Michigan is able to continue leveraging 180 members and $2.6 million in national service support for our communities. Senior Corps, a vital element of the national service family, is comprised of three strong and unique programs—Foster Grandparents Program, Senior Companion Programs and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). These programs harness the experience, skills and talents of our older citizens and focus their passions for service toward working with other seniors, children and a myriad of other citizens. We support an appropriation of $65 million for RSVP to support the program including $4.3 million to increase recruitment and programming and $2.16 million for Programs of National Significances as identified by Congress. For the Foster Grandparent Program we recommend $116.5 million to include $1.7 million for Programs of National Significance expansion and $3.4 million to support and improve quality programming in the field. We support an appropriation of $51.9 million for the Senior Companion Program to fund Programs of National Significance which includes $4 million to ensure tighter adherence to federal policies, a small increase for program volunteers and the expansion of programming to the field. Learn and Serve America is a competitive grant program for K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and community and faith-based organizations to integrate community service with academic study. The service-learning approach to education improves learning, teaches civic responsibility, and strengthens communities. The funding supports the development or replication of innovative programs, teacher training, research, and volunteer management. Unfortunately, funding for the program has stagnated or shrunk over the past decade while the demand, denoted by the increasing number of participants, has grown. We support providing $46 million for Learn and Serve America in FY 2006, including an additional $2 million for teacher training. In addition, we support the addition of $1 million to support thorough, scientifically-based service-learning research. This would also ensure that the $1 million in Michigan Learn and Serve America funding may be maintained and possibly grow next year to support our 62,000 participants. All of these highly effective and valuable programs are making a difference in the lives of thousands of Michigan citizens. They engage the young and young at heart in service to communities. Through our strong network of Volunteer Centers, Campus Compact schools and Communities of Promise Michigan, we are leveraging national service to make a difference in communities. The public/private sector partnership that national service represents is groundbreaking in its ability to provide much needed resources in a cost-effective and enduring model that can strengthen communities in Michigan today and well into the future. �We are eager to work with you to ensure that this important series of programs provide opportunities for all Michigan citizens to serve their communities and address local needs. We hope that you and your fellow Michigan members of Congress will support our recommendations. Michigan’s national service champions thank you for your consideration.

The results are available on the Committee’s website (http://appropriations.house.gov/_files/LHSCMark.pdf). Overall, the numbers are $7 million less than what was recommended by the President and $13 million lower than last year. Given the tough budget battle, this is a good start. Next, the full House Appropriations Committee will craft their bill and send it to the full membership sometime in July. In anticipation of the difficult budget process that the Congress will grapple with over the summer, leaders in the national service field in Michigan are today sending a letter to the Congressional Delegation from our state to call for full funding for programs administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service (see attached). This letter was endorsed by XXX Michiganians representing nonprofits, schools, foundations, businesses and concerned individuals who support national service.

I’ve been struck by the utter and complete destruction and the simultaneous burning urge to do something. I’ve not had these feelings since September 11th, 2001. Then, I and many others in the volunteer community discussed working harder to make our communities safer, healthier and stronger through an even greater volunteer infrastructure. We also looked into how to encourage the giving of the most needed resource at the most appropriate time. Katrina provides these same challenges. Currently, the efforts are focused on rescues of the stranded and impaired. Emergency management organizations are deploying to Mississippi and Louisiana to provide food, water and shelter. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The process set forth in this document includes a brief history of the endowment, a review process that affirmed the donor intent for the endowment proceeds, and specific guidance for FY 2011-2014. Background: The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) Endowment was created on July 13, 2000 with the signing of Senate Bill968 by Governor John Engler. This bill established the state funded challenge grant of $10 million which was to be matched 1:1 by private funds that would be permanently endowed to support volunteer infrastructure in Michigan. The $20 million campaign was completed in 2005 with payouts completed in 2007 and permanently housed at the Capital Region Community Foundation (CRCF) as part of a compliment of agency funds assigned to the ConnectMichigan Alliance (a 501 c 3 nonprofit corporation). In 2007, the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) merged with the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and transferred all responsibilities for these assets to the board of MNA. The board of CRCF approved the assignment of the CMA Endowment proceeds to MNA in July of 2007. As part of the merger agreement, the boards of MNA and CMA agreed to establish an advisory committee within the board of MNA. The CMA Endowment Advisory Committee works to ensure that MNA, as the partner with fiduciary authority of the endowment, allocates the funds in a manner that is genuine, reasonable, and in accordance with the intended purpose of the original donors to the endowment . The original CMA Endowment partner organizations, the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), MNA, and the Michigan Community Service Commission .{M$C2Sthave designated (YI <'-;)~ members to serve on the CMA Endowment Advisory Committee. A review of these practices was conducted in October 2010 by an Ad Hoc committee and accepted by the MNA Board of Directors on December14, 2010. The findings of that committee are as follows: �1. The Committee believes that the original donor intent has been preserved and the proceeds handled in accordance with their wishes. 2. Staff of MNA is encouraged to continue to find productive and innovative ways for the MCSC and MNA to partner to encourage and support service and volunteer infrastructure. 3. During this time of economic stress and political uncertainty, MNA should continue, and prepare to redouble its advocacy efforts on behalf of the MCSC to ensure its important leadership role in promoting and leveraging resources for volunteerism, national service, and service-learning. Guidance for Allocation of CMA Endowment Proceeds {annual process) This document is designed to guide current and future leaders of MNA in the allocation of the CMA Endowment proceeds. Annually, staff of MNA will present to the CMA Endowment Advisory Committee, a plan for the allocation of CMA Endowment proceeds. The plan should include the following: • Fund performance including asset size, growth over the previous year, and projected allocation amount for the upcoming fiscal year; • MNA organizational budget that designates the allocation of the Endowment proceeds as revenue, expenses projected to be charged to the endowment proceeds revenue line; and • Staff recommendations on allocation reinvestment (if any). This process should precede and inform the annual budget meeting of the Finance Committee of MNA. The MNA Board of Directors will then consider the recommendations as part of its annual review and adoption of the fiscal year budget. Specific Guidance for FY 2011-2014 The CMA Endowment partner organizations will propose to the MNA Board, the allocation of specific funds for the fiscal years of 2011-2014 to ensure that review finding #2 (above) is upheld. In effort to do so, MNA will establish CMA Endowment Partnership Funding Allocation Guidelines as follows: For the period of July 2011 through June 2014, the CMA Endowment partner organizations agree to allocate no less than $150,000 to joint partner projects that meet the following guidelines;., ,_LI-// (\ ID.d>viJ~.J.U f-'vv.-..Y 1. Revenue from the CMA Endowment proceeds will be placed in a three-fiscal year-2!eek-bex" to support CMA Endowment Partnership Initiatives that focus on the original donor intent. 2. All approved initiatives must be conceived, proposed, and implemented with the full support of all CMA Endowment partner organizations and reviewed annually as part of the normal MNA budgeting process which includes the aforementioned CMA Endowment Advisory Committee. �3. All approved initiatives must demonstrate the benefit to the CMA Endowment partners, the state's volunteer infrastructure, and/or the field of service and volunteerism in Michigan its regions and local communities. In addition, the proposed project will be the collective responsibility of the partners and not the sole responsibility of any one partner. 4. Projects may contribute to the ongoing technology infrastructure development for the state 5. Approved projects may include those which would leverage additional funding (local, state, or national) for partner projects. Please Note: for the funding period of July 2011-June 2014, the partners may propose plans that would carry forward any unexpended dollars to future years in effort to grow the joint fund. The endowment proceeds and related expenses will be tracked as part of the organization's quarterly budget review and presented to the MNA Board of Directors at their regularly scheduled meetings. This plan will be reviewed annually by the staff of MNA and the CMA Endowment partners.
