The CMA Endowment Advisory Committee's work to clarify donor intent in 2009-10 highlighted a need to document and better understand endowment growth and proceeds. Doing so will improve internal processes as well as to enable transparency between MNA and donors, and between MNA and partner organizations. • Project Scope: The purpose of this project is to create a financial history of the endowment as well to improve MNA's ability to project payout in a timely and accurate manner. • Process: The following report results from interviewing and collecting financial and institutional data from Tina Bruce, Director of Finance at MNA and Richard Comstock, VP of Finance at CRCF from February-March 2011. • Central Findings of the Report: • Historical picture of asset growth and payout 2000-20 10 CRCF policies key to estimating endowment proceeds • Impact of the recession on assets and future payout Recommended practices and tools for projecting payout going forward �2010 Net Assets are 85°/o of Pre-Recession Peak December 31st Asset Balance 2000-10 $25,000,000 - , - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - · $20,591,342 $17,581,592 $10,000,000 - l - - - �Net Assets by Fund 2000-2010 25000000 20000000 15000000 "Engler :.·campus 10000000 "Romney "Mawby ,.

Blews, Chair, CMA Endowment Advisory Committee Michigan Nonprofit Association Board of Directors From: Kyle Caldwell, President and CEO, Michigan Nonprofit Association Re: CMA Endowment Advisory Committee Process Date: March 12, 2012 Summary Thank you again for agreeing to serve as the Chair of the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) Endowment Advisory Committee (referred to in the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) Bylaws (See Attachment A, Article VII (2) as the Investment Committee). The committee is coming up on its annual review to ensure that the endowment proceeds are used in alignment with donor intent and that the funds held at the Capital Region Community Foundation are property invested and administered. That meeting is scheduled for April23rd from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00p.m. via conference call. We are also coming to an important milestone in the committee' s history. In the MNA Articles of Incorporation that were restated and adopted after the merger with the ConnectMichigan Alliance, Article VII created the Investment Committee. In that article it also stated that the committee shall exist until December 31, 2012, and after this date, the Directors of the MNA may vote to continue the committee, amend the committee, or abolish the committee (see Attachment B). Therefore there are two tasks before the Committee: review and approve staff recommendations for Endowment Allocations for the 2012-13 FY budget; determine the future of the Committee itself in preparation for the December 31,2012 review date. This memo is designed to explain the necessary steps the committee needs to take to deal both issues. Background The CMA Endowment is an agency fund of the Capital Region Community Foundation whose proceeds are designated to the MNA as part of a completed merger agreement between MNA �Engagement Committee which will be helping with the programmatic direction of the work supported in part by the CMA Endowment proceeds; and that the CMNMNA merger agreement and MNA Articles of Incorporation call for the decision for the future need of the committee by December, 2012; it seems logical to dissolve the CMA Endowment Advisory Committee and communicate in the charge ofthe Civic Engagement Committee, the findings of the CMA Endowment Advisory Committee as articulated above. �Attachment A �Michigan Nonprofit Association BYLAWS OF THE MICIDGAN NONPROFIT ASSOCIATION (Amended December 14, 2004) (Amended December 12, 2006) (Amended May 23, 2007) (Amended June 17, 2008) (Amended December 13, 2011) ARTICLE I: Purposes and Definitions Purposes.

Such determinations must be made by the Board, in good faith, with knowledge of the material facts concerning the transaction and the Director's interest in the transaction, and by a vote of two-thirds of the Directors present, without counting the vote of the interested Director(s). (4) Loans. The MNA shall not make any loan of money or property to, or guarantee the obligation of, any Director, Officer, employee or agent; provided, however, that the MNA may advance money to a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the MNA for expenses reasonably anticipated to be incurred in performance of assigned duties, so long as such individual would be entitled to reimbursement for such expense absent that advance. (5) Disclosure. Directors shall disclose the material facts as to any relationship or interest relating to contracts, programs, policies or other transactions that may be considered by the Board. A transaction may nonetheless be approved, as provided above in Section 3 of this Article. ARTICLE X: Administrative Matters (1) Fiscal Year.

The Fund is for the purpose of creating an endowment for ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA). Subject to the provision of this Agreement, distribution from the Fund will be made annually to CMA according to the Spending Guidelines established by the Board of Trustees of the Foundation. In general, the principal of permanent endowments will not be invaded except when applying the Spending Guidelines, or in extraordinaty circumstances as deemed appropriate by the Board of Trustees of the Foundation. CMA may also request that all or a portion of the amount available for distribution be reinvested in the Fund principal. Gifts may be added to the Fund at any time by CMA or by other donors. The Board of Trustees of the Capital Region Community Foundation ("Foundation") shall have fmal authority and discretion·as to the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund as a part of the Foundation's "pooled fund" investment. Overall investment guidelines, objectives and performance of the "pooled fund" investment shall be submitted in writing annually to CMA by the Foundation. The Foundation, upon receipt of contributions to the Fund, will establish a separate account for the accounting control of funds received from CMA or from other persons or organizations wishing to directly make gifts to the Foundation for the purpose of assisting CMA. The Foundation shall separately account for all principal and income in the Fund. The Foundation shall provide CMA with a complete reporting on the Fund's activity, including all receipts, disbursements, income and expenses, within 60 days following completion of the Foundation's annual public audit. The Foundation shall furnish all routine accounting, as well as reporting to the Michigan Attorney General and the Internal Revenue Service regarding the Fund. It is understood that Foundation staff shall work actively with CMA in offering advice, consultation and support for the development or expansion of a deferred-giving program by CMA Board of Directors. The Foundation also agrees to actively promote gifts to the Fund through the Foundation's web site, printed materials, newsletter, annual reports and special mailings to prospective donors. In exchange for the investment management, accounting and deferred giving services, the Foundation will charge the Fund customary and usual fees, which will be deducted annually in the first quarter of the year. Any change in this fee shall be made only after notice to the CMA Board of Directors. This fee is in addition to any investment fees charged to the Foundation prorated to this Fund, and to any extraordinaty direct expense relating to the Fund, which will be paid by the Fund. �. I ConnectMichigan Alliance Fund Agreement 2 It is understood that as of the date of this agreement CMA is in process of securing its 501(c)(3) non-profit status. In the event that this status is denied, the fund assets will be split with 50% transferred to the CRCF MNA permanent endowment fund and 50% transferred to a CRCF MCSC permanent endowment fund. In the event of the dissolution of CMA, or if CMA ceases to be a qualified charitable organization, the Foundation shall thereafter continue to hold the assets constituting the Fund and shall distribute the net income and/or principal therefrom to such organizations as in the opinion of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation most nearly meet the purposes of CMA. To the extent that the Board of Directors of CMA may convene at times relevant to this paragraph, the Foundation shall consult with the Board of Directors of CMA to determine an appropriate recipient of the distribution. If the Foundation ceases to be a qualified charitable organization or if the Foundation proposes to dissolve, the assets of the Fund, after payment or making provision for payment of any liabilities properly chargeable to the Fund, shall be distributed to CMA. If CMA is not then a qualified charitable organization, said assets shall be distributed in such manner and to such organization or organizations as satisfies the requirements of a qualified charitable organization and serves purposes similar to those of CMA. It is understood and agreed that all assets held in the Fund shall be subject to the Charter and Bylaws of the Foundation, including, but not limited to, the power contained therein for the Board of Trustees of the Foundation to modify any restrictions or considerations on the distribution of the fund for any specified charitable purposes or to specified organizations, if in the sole judgment of the governing body (without the necessity of the approval of any participating trustees, agent or custodian), such restriction or condition become, in effect, unnecessary, incapable of fulfillment or inconsistent with charitable needs of the community or area served by the Foundation. [(Treas. Reg. Section 1. 170A-9(c)(I l)(v)(b)(l)] Definitions and Construction (a) As used in this Agreement (1) "Qualified charitable organization," means an organization described in IRC 509(a)(l), (2) or (3) and which is other than a private foundation under 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. (2) (b) Reference to any provision of the Internal Revenue Code shall be deemed references to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as the same be amended from time to time and the corresponding provision of any future U.S. Internal Revenue Code. It is intended that the Fund shall be a component part of the Foundation and that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the status of the Foundation as an entity which is a qualified charitable organization. This Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the foregoing intention and so as to conform to the requirement of the Internal Revenue Code and any regulations issued pursuant thereto applicable to the intended status of the Foundation. �------- -- ConnectMichigan Alliance Fund Agreement 3 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Party hereto has executed this Agreement by its duly authorized officers effective as ofthe day and year of the signing of the Agreement.

Mawby Endowment Fund; George W. Romney Endowment Fund; Michigan Campus Compact Endowment Fund Dear Kyle: As you indicated to me yesterday, ConnectMichigan Alliance and the Michigan Nonprofit Association are engaged in discussions regarding the possible consolidation of their programs and activities, either through a merger of CMA into MNA, or by having CMA become a supporting organization ofMNA. You asked me to provide you with an explanation of how such a consolidatiqn would affect distributions from the abovereferenced endowment funds, all of which now benefit CMA. Under either consolidation scenario the endowment funds should continue to support the same types of activities they were originally intended to support. The Supporting Organization Scenario If CMA simply becomes a supporting organization of MNA, distributions from the funds would continue to go to CMA, since CMA would still exist as a separate corporate entity. The fact that MNA might control the selection ofCMA's board would not affect CMA's status as the beneficiary of the funds. This assumes, of course, that CMA would continue to engage in the same type ofvolunteerism programming that the funds were intended to suppmt. The Merger Scenario If CMA was dissolved in order to merge with MNA, we would look at the language of the fund agreements for guidance as to how to proceed. I have enclosed for your 6035 Executive Drive • Suite 104 • Lansing, MI 48911 517-272-2870 • Fax 517-272-2871 • www.crcfoundation.org For good. For ever.- · �Kyle Caldwell November 30,2006 Page2 information copies of the relevant documentation regarding each of these endowment funds, and discuss that documentation below. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Fund The ConnectMichigan Alliance Fund was originally established to support CMA, and still does so. Note the following provision at the top of page 2 of the fund agreement: In the event of the dissolution of CMA, or if CMA ceases to be a qualified charitable organization, the Foundation shall thereafter continue to hold the assets constituting the Fund and shall distribute the net income and/or principal therefrom to such organizations as in the opinion of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation most nearly meet the purposes of CMA. To the extent that the Board of Directors of CMA may convene at times relevant to this paragraph, the Foundation shall consult with the Board of Directors of CMA to determine an appropriate recipient of the distribution. Although any decision to change the beneficiary of a fund would have to be approved by the Community Foundation's Board of Trustees, I am confident that if CMA merged into MNA, the Community Foundation's Board would honor a request by CMA's Board to have the beneficiary of the fund changed to MNA, to be used for the same volunteerism purposes. The Romney, Mawby, and Campus Compact Funds The George W. Romney Endowment Fund and the Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund were originally established to support the volunteerism efforts of MNA. However, MNA subsequently requeste.d that the beneficiary of these funds be changed to CMA (for the same type ofvolunteerism programs). See Sam Singh's letter of December 17, 2002. The Michigan Campus Compact Endowment Fund was originally established by MNA as a subfund of the Romney Fund (see Sam Singh's letter of September 1, 2000, along with the attached page from the grant contract), and its beneficiary was changed to CMA along with the Romney Fund. Again, see Sam Singh's letter of December 17, 2002. Note that in the December 171h letter, Sam Singh stated that the requested change in benefiCiary was conditioned upon the following: that in the event CMA was dissolved, MNA would once again become the beneficiary of these funds. I am therefore confident that in the event ofCMA's merger with MNA, the Community Foundation Board would authorize distributions from these funds to be made to MNA, to be used for the same volunteerism purposes. Conclusion Given the language of the documentation, as well as the desire of our Board to have our endowment funds serve their original purpose whenever possible, I am confident that any �Kyle Caldwell November 30, 2006 Page 3 consolidation of MNA and CMA would not change the way in which the distributions from these funds are used. Given the significance of these issues, I would suggest that any merger plan be presented to the Community Foundation's Board prior to the plan's implementation, _so that you could proceed with confidence regarding the manner in which future distributions are handled. I hope that this information is helpful, Kyle. Please feel free to give me a call should you wish to further discuss the matter.

Hooper reviewed the report page by page and briefly summarized the points made in each section. The report was similar to previous years and expressed a clean opinion. Hooper also reviewed the two letters to the Audit Committee that accompanied the report. There are new auditing standards for 2007, and in order to comply with these new standards, the firm recommended heightened attention to documenting internal accounting controls, i.e., strengthening the methods we already have in place, and perhaps �CRCF Board Meeting July 24, 2007 Page2 adding additional ones to reinforce our current practices.

Ratification of New Funds Administratively Approved - There were no new funds during this time period for ratification. B. Confidential Report on Funds Under Negotiation- Fliehman reported possible new funds established by both Eaton Rapids and Potterville Schools. In addition, we recently received an inquiry from a grant recipient on the possibility of establishing a fund . C. Change of Beneficiary for CMA Funds- A memo was distributed to the Board in regards to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Fund and its related funds, and changing the beneficiary of these funds to Michigan Nonprofit Association, in light of the recent CMAIMNA merger. It was MSC: Wilson/Maxwell to approve making the Michigan Nonprofit Association the �CRCF Board Meeting July 24, 2007 Page 5 beneficiary of the ConnectAIIiance Fund, the Russell G. Maw by Endowment Fund, the George W . Romney Endowment Fund, and the Michigan Campus Compact Endowment Fund. VI. STRATEGIC PLANNING Mission, Vision, Values and Goals -A proposed document was distributed to Trustees prior to the Board meeting for their input. A suggestion for a wording change under 'Accountability' was received and the new wording was provided at today's meeting for review. Donovan reviewed the document item by item and Fliehman provided expositional background. The ' Accountability' wording change suggested by Maxwell was agreed to by the group: "CRCF is accountable for its actions, as demonstrated through its transparency and competence. Transparency is measured against factors of candor, objectivity, and integrity, while competence is measured against factors of efficiency, effectiveness, knowledge, and respect." For the " Strategy and Goals" section, the idea was to identify the strategies and how to achieve them, and to identify benchmarks at a later point in time. Solomon questioned the measurement of Strategic Goal # 1.2 (Collaborate with local funders to ensure that the region ' s youth population has access to necessary personal development resources) and several outcome measures were suggested as options. Because the actual project for the youth initiative has not yet been chosen, nor have the targeted ages been identified (currently 'youth' is being defmed as 0-18, but the focus may shift to certain ages within this range), it was decided to not identify specific outcome measures at this time. After discussion, it was agreed to adopt the following wording change for Goal #1.2: "Progress toward achieving the goal will be measured by the aggregate numbers of organizations and funding dollars brought together for this purpose, the aggregate number of youth served by them, as well as specific outcome measures to be determined." The measurement for Strategic Goal #3.1 (Maximize the productivity of the Foundation' s operations .. . ) was thought to need clarification based on the vagueness of the goal itself. After discussion, it was agreed to change the wording for this goal to the following: " Progress toward achieving this goal can be measured by the efficiency and effectiveness of work accomplished by staff members." The language under Strategic Goal #4.1 (Become recognized as a community leader. . . ) was also discussed. The suggestion was made to add the word ' value' after ' visibility' , and to strike out the words ' more importantly.' It was agreed that the sentence should now read: "The Foundation will gain visibility and value for the programs and activities in which it is engaged through expanded advertising and public relations efforts and by achieving positive program impact throughout the community." It was MSC: Solomon/Aigra to approve the CRCF Mission, Vision, Values and Goals document with the above wording changes. Vll. CHAIR' S REPORT Blackett did not have a report at this time. Vill. PRESIDENT'S REPORT A. Activity Report: Fliehman recently gave four presentations for possible agency funds, and met with 5 donors and professional advisors. B. Office Space Expansion Update: The Executive Committee approved giving Fliehman the authority to enter to a lease agreement on terms at least as favorable as the landlord' s proposal received on 6/26/07. After the Executive Committee meeting, Fliehman had further room to negotiate and we received a proposal that contained even better terms. A new lease has been �CRCF Board Meeting July 24, 2007 Page6 received for signature; after a couple of minor details are clarified, we will be able to sign the lease and commence the expansion work and renovations. As Trustees were previously aware, former Trustee Bob Carr passed away on July 4th. Fliehman read from a Jetter he wrote to his wife Julie that paid tribute to him and his many contributions to the Foundation. CRCF made a gift to the YMCA Endowment Fund in his honor. A memorial gift in Carr's honor was also received from former CRCF Executive Director Mary Olson, and the touching note that accompanied the gift was read aloud. Watters reported that Capitol National Bank is gathering stories about Carr commemorating his life. They plan to collect them and publish them as a book. There is a link on the Capitol National Bank website if any one would like to share a tale. It was suggested that a tribute of some kind be made at the 20th Anniversary Breakfast. IX. OTHER BUSINESS/ROUNDTABLE Student Trustee Alley had a suggestion that in addition to the two Y AC representatives on YIC, that the committee consider obtaining input from other youth in the community, specifically those youth who might benefit from the initiative. Board members highlighted their recent professional and personal achievements/activities. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:05p.m. Respectfully submitted, Traci Goulding, Executive Assistant Nancy L.

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 Bill 968 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 (MSCS) have designated 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 ofthe 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 9llocate no less than $150,000 to joint partner projects that meet the following guidelines: 1. Revenue from the CMA Endowment proceeds will be placed in a three-fiscal year restricted fund 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 ofthe 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.

Disconnection Is a fundamental problem In our society today, a force that erodes our confidence In each other and our ability to work together to solve today's challenges. The evening news each day illustrates the depth of disconnection that we feel: the elderly and frail die In a heat wave because no one knew they were there. children die or are permanently scarred because they have been neglected, teens kill without thought over a pair of sunglasses, or take their lives because they have become alienated from school, friends or family. Disconnection Is also felt in conflicts between races end ethnic groups, and gives riSe to a · growing number of disturbing hate crimes against those with differences of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. This Is a critical juncture for us all. We must decide to build a shared future or we will continue the fragmentation of our communltlea. These confusing times demand that an organization step forward and provide the leadership to initiate a new level of engagement. Building New Connections Voluntary service has historically been the way that Americans have helped each other In times of trouble, building connections to each other and buildlr.g vibrant and caring communities. Michigan has been recognized throughout the nation as the leader in the community service movement for more than a decade, building bridges between people and offering them the opportunity to work together toward common goals. Continuing this legacy of leadership, the creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Is the natural next step In the evolution of community service in Michigan. Created by the merger of the common programs of four existing entities, the ConnectMichlgan Alliance will enhance the statewide Infrastructure supporting local community vOlunteer and service efforts. Community service realizes Its greatest potential when It becomes a vehicle to connect people of differing and unique backgrounds together to solve problems. The ConnectMichigan AHiance wlli promote life-long community service and civic engagement through the support of community-building Initiatives. The ConnectMtchlgan Alliance will be funded, in large part. by an endowment created to ensure long-term sustalnablllty and the development of new and innovative programs designed to promote volunteerlsm and service-learning throughout Michigan. The ConnectMichlgan 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 to Initiate an endowment to continue the commitment to community service in Michigan In perpetuity. The endowment wHI provide the funds necessary to sustain administration, services and programming at their current level as well as enhance and expand current programs and services end develop new, Innovative programs. �The ConnectMichigan Alliance Strategy for Success Michigan's leaders have long envisioned volunteerism as an Important support system for services and programs helping people througl:lout the State. Governor George Romney believed that local centers promoting volunteerlsm should be as common as the post office in each local community. And, In the past ten years, a number of ~tatewide organizations focusing on the promotion of volunteerlsm and Cl:lmmunity service have developed in Michigan, providing a shining beacon of light for the rest of the nation to follow. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will provide the support systems to strengthen community responses throughout Miohil)an and enable local centers to achieve their considerable potential to connect people through service Including the following: • Setv/ce Learning. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will expand service learning in Michigan by providing new venture grants to colleges and universities to Increase volunteer opportunities in the dassroom and faculty fellow grants to increase research in service learning. By making connections in our communities, college students truly leam the depth of community problems and participate in community solutions. • Capacity Building. The ConnectMichlgan Alliance will provide opportunities for capacity building thoughout Michigan by providing opportunities for seminars, conferences and training programs, and Improving the Resource library. • Community Connections. The ConnectMichlgan Alliance will work with local communities to strengthen their Volunteer Canters and to provide volunteer opportunities for people of all ages. The leadership of Michigan envisions a day when a college student can learn about the problems of homelessness In America by volunteering In a homeless shelter, a child can assist a child less fortunate by volunteering at a camp for children who are disabled, and a senior citizen can spend soma time with a dying patient In a Hospice program. When people work together, they begin to work through their differences and begin to build shared understanding that assists In resolving conflicts. The ConnectMichlgan Alliance will work towards convincing people of the value of bridging their differences through community service and offering them opportunities to work together towards common goals. Creating Connections through Community Service The four orgsniz:atlons Included In this new partnership currently provide programs and services Impacting civic engagement for volunteers in any stage of life. These programs and service~ programs and servlce!l'j!ervina as the foundation of the ConnectMichlgan Alliance, have been thoughtfully Cl:lnsidered and Implemented to promote civic responsibility statewide. �Michigan Campus Compact Connecting College Studente and their Communltles·through Service Learning Mission Michigan Campus Compact is a coalition of Michigan's university and college presidents whose purpose is to facilitate, on their campuses, a commitment to community seNiae that w/11/aad students to develop a life-long setVIce ethic and will promote saNice-/eaming in the curriculum. The Michigan Campus Compact Is part of a national coalition of college and university presidents created in 1985. At the time, college presidents were growing concamed wijh the media portrayal of students in the 'me generation" as materialistic and self-absorbed. The founding presidents of the national coalition believed this media Image to be false from their firsthand knowledge of the volunteerism supported by their students. They believed that many students were involved In community service and many more would become involved If community service were encouraged as part of the higher education experience. The Michigan Campus Compact was founded early In the national movement, spearheaded by Michigan State University President John DiBiagglo. Today, many college and university presidents throughout Michigan are Involved and committed to providing service learning opportunities to college students.

Through community service, people In Michigan will be reminded of what can be accomplished when we worll together. Service creates Individual connections between people through one-to-one relationships, brings people together who are In conflict with one ·another, and engages people who are recipients of services as volunteers.

What we know about youth? Poverty rates among youth are down. Drop out rates among youth are down. However, Some drug use among youth is down, but all types of new forms of use are up. Children living in single parent households are up. Child obesity is up at a staggering rate. In Detroit, we know that: 1. 35% of young people live in poverty; 2. 60% of young people live in a household where no adult holds a full-time job; and 3. 30% of young people are living with a head of the household who does not have a high school diploma. (Annie E. Casey Foundation) What we know about youth and their abilities, habits and interests. 1. Young people are more media savvy than the youth of one or two generations ago and media play an even more important role in their day-to-day lives. 2. Young people go more for the tangible and immediate than the intangible and long-term. They are career focused, but want stimulation over stability. 3. Young people are interested in solving problems, getting engaged in community and volunteering. However they are not interested as much in voting and participation in traditional civic organizations. What we know about meeting youth needs. 1. 2. 3. 4. Youth with a caring adult in their lives see a future for themselves Youth with a safe place to live and learn have a better sense of stability Youth with a quality education have greater opportunities in the future Youth with a healthy start including access to health care and health education participate in good health habits later in life. 5. Youth giving back through a positive early experience in service and volunteering are more likely to continue the experience as a habit later in life. �What can you do? Focus on the next workforce and what they are looking for in a job or career. Involve young people in your programs including the traditional internships and scholarship programs. Consider how your employees and counterparts in the workforce might engage in volunteer activities targeted at youth. Bring young people into your leadership and decision making by putting them on boards and committees. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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) will permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. Once the campaign is completed , the ConnectMichigan Alliance will achieve its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This means: • • • • building a strong and healthy volunteer center for every Michigan community, having every Michigan college and university encourage citizen service among its students and faculty, building strong nonprofits to meet our communities' most pressing social needs, and leveraging state and federal government 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 . Romney, 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 the young and young at heart to give their time, talents and treasures to communities? The answer in Michigan is clear. Michigan has a proud tradition of supporting volunteer efforts through what we commonly call "infrastructure." The Alliance: Genuine Collaboration Major components of that infrastructure include a statewide network of volunteer centers helping local communities match volunteers with volunteer opportunities (Volunteer Centers of Michigan), an association of colleges and universities that have joined a compact that works to instill an ethic of service and civic action in �the college students of today (Michigan Campus Compact) , a trade association for nonprofits to give voice and support to the vast array of nonprofit organizations throughout the state (Michigan Nonprofit Association), and a governmental body that promotes service and volunteerism by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts (Michigan Community Service Commission) . Separate, but working in collaboration , these organizations have combined to build a powerful force-infrastructure-for volunteerism in Michigan. In October of 2000, the partnering organizations (MCC , MCSC, MNA & VCM) committed to building 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 all for the good of the volunteer field . Never before has such a diverse and powerful partnership been formed on a statewide level. This innovative partnership will leverage additional financial and human resources, reduce duplication of efforts, create a seamless support structure for Michigan's volunteers, establish new programs and initiatives and eliminate wasteful expenditures of vital resources. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will serve to continue Michigan's legacy of service and volunteerism-one of our state's most powerful forces. The Campaign Sustaining and strengthening that force 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 which, in itself, was created in an extraordinary way. In June of 2000, Governor John Engler signed into law, Senate Bill 968 that providing a challenge grant to build the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment. This grant provides up to $10 million that must be matched on a 1 to 1 basis by the private sector by November of 2002. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment represents an unprecedented public/private partnership and truly builds a long-term support mechanism for Michigan's volunteers. The Leadership Continuing this never-before seen show of leadership, the creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Leadership will demonstrate 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. That is why the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign will be headed up by leaders from the philanthropic community, government, corporate sector and individuals concerned about supporting Michigan's volunteers. They include: To be inserled as leadership is determined. 2 �The Call to Action The ConnectMichigan Alliance needs your help. To ensure that we can sustain the legacy of community building and individual support through the selfless acts of Michigan's volunteers we must build a solid infrastructure-the ConnectMichigan Alliance. For the next 24 months, Michigan's foundations , corporations and individuals connected through service and volunteerism must ban together and help meet our $20 million challenge. We must work together to ensure Michigan's legacy of volunteerism . 3 �Putting it All in Context Mission The ConnectMichigan Alliance will promote life-long community service and civic engagement though the support of community-building initiatives. It will strengthen 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 All around us we are reminded that what challenges individuals and communities the most can be traced back to how and whether individuals interact-connect. It is our "disconnectedness" that allows us to turn a blind eye to the challenges in our communities. It is the easy with which we go to work and to school and return home without interacting with our neighbors that promotes our sequestering . Neighbor not understanding neighbor, adults not understanding children , faiths not tolerating other faiths , and cultures not living with other cultures are all fed by our inability to connect. "Shooting at Columbine ... Elderly die in their homes during heat wave ... suicide .. .theft ... abuse ... How many of us wish we'd hear some "good news" for a change? While the evening news illustrates the depth of our disconnection every day, we find equally compelling examples of our ability to reconnect through service. "I had a Teens in Training this summer who was on probation. He ended up being the top teen of the summer and volunteered 258 hours. I recently received a call from him thanking me for the program because it proved to him that a group of teens could work together to make our community a better, safer place to be. He is still on probation , but his relationship with his parents has significantly improved , as have his outlook on life and goals for the future . He attributes this change in his attitude and behavior to the positive influence of other teens in the Teens in Training program , and to the adult mentors at the West Midland Family Center." VCM AmeriCorps Member Lisa Bonnotto, 1999 ConnectMichigan Alliance: Tying Communities Together More than 80% of Americans agree, "Disconnection is an underlying characteristic of many of our social problems." And, more than 90% believe that 4 �"connecting with others and working together through volunteer seNice can bridge the differences that separate people and help solve community problems." Jan, 1997 survey for POLF, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation , Princeton, NJ Concerned citizens joining forces can reclaim their neighborhoods, shepherd 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, http://www.pointsoflight.org , will introduce you to daily Points of Light: everyday people giving of themselves to create positive change where it's needed. There are many Michiganians in that proud company, lending support to our long-held belief that our state is a place of caring and compassion . 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 disconnect of those who want to be involved from those who need assistance. Our mission: to promote life-long community service and civic engagement through the support of community-building initiatives. Our goal : to ensure that any citizen who wishes to be involved has the opportunity to do so. Our vision : that community service, volunteerism and civic engagement become engrained in the human ethic; 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." Governor George W . Romney, 1907-1995 Michigan leaders have long envisioned volunteerism as an important support system for services and programs helping people throughout the state. The late Governor George W . Romney had a passion for community, wh ich 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." Governor Romney was recognized nationally as a leader in the volunteerism movement. He was the founder of the National Volunteer Center, served as found ing trustee of the Points of Light Foundation and the Michigan Nonprofit Association , and led the development of a number of community volunteer centers in Michigan. The vision and work of Governor Romney is the foundation on which Michigan has built an infrastructure to 5 �connect neighborhoods, communities, institutions, and the state through volunteer service. Continuing this legacy of leadership, the creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance is the natural next step in the evolution of community service in Michigan. Created by the merger of the common programs of four existing entities, the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) , Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) , and the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) , the ConnectMichigan Alliance will enhance the statewide infrastructure supporting local community volunteer and service efforts. Community service realizes its greatest potential when it becomes a vehicle to connect people of differing and unique backgrounds to solve problems. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will promote life-long community service and civic engagement though the support of community-building initiatives. It will strengthen the point of connection between those who want to help and those who need assistance. Creating Connections Through Community Service The four organizations included in this new partnership currently provide programs and services serving as the foundation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance that have been thoughtfully considered and implemented to promote civic responsibility statewide. Michigan Campus Compact Connecting College Students with their communities through Servicelearning Mission The mission of The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) is to promote a commitment to community service and to foster a life-long service ethic in students. Specifically, MCC seeks to create or expand community service and service-learning opportunities for students while promoting academic and cocurricular programs and to advocate for public policies that encourage civic responsibility. Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) is an association of Michigan universities and colleges that promotes citizenship by encouraging service experiences for students. These experiences lay the foundation for a lifelong ethic of public responsibility and community service. Students learn to reflect critically on the world around them and take an active role in their community by becoming directly involved with social problems and their solutions. 6 �Founded in 1989 as one of the nation's first state Campus Compacts, MCC began as a three-year demonstration project funded by the W . K. Kellogg Foundation. MCC entered its second phase of development in 1992, placing emphasis on recruitment, retention , and membership services. Today, programs such as MCC's Venture Grants, Faculty Fellows, Student Community Action Network, Outstanding Student Service Awards, Community Service-Learning Faculty Staff Awards, Institute on Service-Learning, Service Leadership Camp, colloquiums, and recognition ceremonies for faculty and staff, continues to provide and expand volunteerism in Michigan among college students and campuses. These initiatives legitimize, honor, and prepare campuses, students and faculty to become more civically engaged and servers in their community, state and the world 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. The Volunteer Centers of Michigan 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 Volunteer Center Movement and was the first to hire dedicated staff. The organization achieves their mission by offering programs and services that connect people with opportunities to serve, building capacity for effective local volunteering, promoting volunteering, 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 with volunteer opportunities matched to their skill and interest level, and impact organizations by providing them with appropriate volunteers for theirs tasks. In fact , Volunteer Centers are evolving in their attempts to create meaningful community change by focusing their efforts around four core competencies: 1. Connect people with opportunities to seNe (seNes full community by maintaining accurate and timely information) 2. Build the capacity for effective local volunteering (training, technical assistance, and support to local nonprofits) 3. Promote volunteering (recruitment and recognition activities) 4. Participate in strategic initiatives (community problem-solving) The statewide Volunteer Centers of Michigan provides technical assistance to the local volunteer centers through retreats , training, funding , and consultation 7 �to strengthen their 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) mtsston is to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of volunteerism and philanthropy in the state. The Michigan Nonprofit Association represents and serves nonprofit organizations located in rural communities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas throughout Michigan. The membership of the organization ranges from nonprofits providing services to the homeless to arts councils. The numerous affiliates and foundations belonging to the Michigan Nonprofit Association are interested in the advancement of the nonprofit sector. Funded, in part, by the Kellogg Foundation and the C.S. Matt Foundation, MNA provides services and technical assistance to its members including conferences and trainings designed to build organizational capacity, the provision of costeffective insurance coverage for nonprofit organization employees, public policy updates, mini-grant funding to support volunteerism, and the annual Compensation and Benefit Survey. 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 . Governor Engler created the Michigan Community Service Commission 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. 8 �Launched in 1997, the Michigan's Promise program 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 together with nonprofit organizations, schools, local business and service organizations to take part in projects to better their communities. Michigan's Model: Connect Michigan Alliance 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 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, 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: 1. The Connect Michigan Alliance will increase 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 citizens to have accessible opportunities to reconnect or remain connected with other individuals in their communities; and 2. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will further reduce 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 prepare Michigan for potential changes in federal programs that support volunteerism and service-learning. The implementation and long term impact of the ConnectMichigan Alliance can be illustrated as an inverse "stair step" approach which utilizes the expertise of community, state, and national service organizations with the ultimate result and end goal being the mobilization of individual citizens to enhance the quality of life in communities throughout Michigan. 9 �Public Education Campaign The ConnectMichigan Alliance will educate Michigan residents through the development and implementation of state-wide public education campaigns in partnership with state and local organizations. Public education initiatives will be comprehensive in nature with emphasis on identifying issues and opportunities, and recognition efforts on the part of individuals and organizations throughout the state. Resource Development The Connect Michigan Alliance will enhance and expand the training and technical assistance capacities of both MCC and VCM. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will provide expanded resources in the form of grants to local initiatives. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will also develop a broad range of resource material for local communities in the areas of volunteer development, service-learning programming , establishing and nurturing collaborative efforts, managing statistical data, and volunteer management, to name a few. Strengthening Infrastructures Increased capacity will ...c 0 enable the lt •• ConnectMichigan Alliance to enhance and expand existing MCC and VCM programs and services, including grantmaking to local volunteer centers, and institutions of higher learning as well as 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. Network Development 10 �The current state of disconnectedness is not limited to individuals. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will continue and expand existing networks that support association, discussion and training covering a broad base of topics that relate to all organizations utilizing volunteers and conducting servicelearning initiatives. Network discussion will also facilitate the dialogue and development of training , workshops and conferences focusing on specialized needs of local and regional organizations. Another area of focus for the ConnectMichigan Alliance will be the research and development of corporate volunteer councils and statewide networks to support them. Mobilization of People This is the strategy that achieves the ultimate goal of the ConnectMichigan Alliance ... to improve "connectedness" in communities throughout Michigan. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will build 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 will be structured to engage entire communities in meaningful activation activities designed to promote continued civic engagement and connectedness. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will reduce 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 . Conclusion "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." ----- Margaret Mead The leadership of Michigan envisions a day when a college student can learn about the problems of homelessness in America by volunteering in a homeless shelter, a physically challenged child can tutor a child who is struggling to learn how to read , and a senior citizen can spend some time with a dying patient in a Hospice program. When people work together, they begin to work through their differences and begin to build the shared understanding that assists 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 many in our society. 11 �These challenging times demand that an organization step forward and provide the leadership to initiate a new level of engagement and that organization is ... the ConnectMichigan Alliance. 12 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Through a $20 million endowment, the combined forces of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Michigan Community Service Commission (MCS C ), Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) will permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. Once the campaign is completed, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will achieve its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This means: • • • • Access to a strong and healthy volunteer center for every Michigan resident, having every Michigan college and university encourage citizen service among its students, faculty and staff building strong nonprofits to meet our communities ' most pressing social needs, and leveraging state and federal government resources to empower communities to address their local challenges . · I "The magnitude of our social problems will require that all citizens and institutions make a commitment to volunteering as a way of life and as a primary opportunity to create needed change." Governor George W. Romney, 1907-1995 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 the young and young at heart to give their time, talents and treasures 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 Major components of that infrastructure include a statewide network of volunteer centers helping local communities match volunteers with volunteer opportunities (Volunteer Centers of Michigan), an association of colleges and universities that have joined a compact that works to instill an ethic of service and civic action in the college students of today (Michigan Campus Compact), a trade association �for nonprofits to give voice and support to the vast array of nonprofit organizations throughout the state (Michigan Nonprofit Association), and a governmental body that promotes service and volunteerism by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts (Michigan Community Service Commission). Separate, but working in collaboration , these organizations have combined to build a powerful force-infrastructure-for volunteerism in Michigan. In October of 2000 , the partnering organizations (MCC, MCSC, MNA & VCM ) committed to building 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 all for the good of the volunteer field. Never before has such a diverse and powerful partnership been formed on a statewide level. This innovative partnership will leverage additional financial and human resources , reduce duplication of efforts , create a seamless support structure for Michigan 's volunteers , establish new programs and initiatives and eliminate wasteful expenditures of vital resources . The ConnectMichigan Alliance will serve to continue Michigan 's legacy of service and volunteerism-one of our state's most powerful forces . The Campaign Sustaining and strengthening that force 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, which , in itself, was created in an extraordinary way. In June of 2000 , Governor John Engler signed into law Senate Bill 968 providing a challenge grant to build the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment. This grant provides up to $1 0 million that must be matched on a 1 to 1 basis by the private sector no later than November of 2002 . The ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment represents an unprecedented public/private partnership and truly builds a long-term support mechanism for Michigan 's volunteers . The Leadership The creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Leadership will demonstrate 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. That is why the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign will be supported and spear-headed by leaders from the philanthropic community, government, corporate sector and individuals concerned about supporting Michigan's volunteers. They include: To be inserted, as leadership is determined. 2 �The Call to Action The ConnectMichigan Alliance needs your help. To ensure that we can sustain the legacy of community building and individual support through the selfless acts of Michigan's volunteers, we must solidify the infrastructure of four existing organizations through the ConnectMichigan Alliance. For the next 24 months , Michigan 's foundations, corporations and individuals connected through a shared commitment to service and volunteerism can help match our $10 million challenge. We must work together to ensure Michigan 's legacy of volunteerism. 3 �Connect Michigan Alliance Capital Campaign Commirtee Members ConnectMichigan Alliance Capital Campaign Committee Members The ConnectMichigan Alliance will promote life-long community service and civic engagement through the support of community-building initiatives. It will strengthen the point of connection between those who want to help and those who need assistance. Ms. Carolyn Bloodworth Secretaryffreasuer Consumers Energy Foundation 230 W.

As part of an unique public/private joint venture, "The Alliance" will administer programming and technical assistance currently administered by the Michigan Nonprofit Association and its affiliates (Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact) and the Michigan Community Service Commission. ''The Alliance" will continue to partner with additional organizations as deemed appropriate. A private endowment, funded through public and private sources, will be created to support "The Alliance" which will ensure its long-term stability. As the state 's premiere volunteer and community service 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization, "The Alliance" will consolidate the programmatic and administrative functions of the four partnering organizations thereby reducing or eliminating duplication of efforts, consolidating and maximizing financial and human resources, and uniting the state's volunteer and community service leadership (see working committee list attached). Funding: A total of $20 million in endowment funds would be established with the corpus comprised of two funding streams: State: The State of Michigan made a one-time investment of $10 million toward an endowment to continue its commitment to volunteerism as a communiry problem solving mechanism in the state. This endowment would be managed by a private or community foundation (new or existing) and would generate approximately $250,000 to $500,000 annually that would be allocated directly to ''The Alliance" for administrative and program funding. • Private: An additional $10 million would be leveraged in match funds to the State contribution which would be placed into the same private or community foundation endowment fund. This additional $250,000 to $500,000 in interest income would enhance ''The Alliance" budget in Year two of its existence, bringing the annual budget of $1 million for support of the state' s premiere volunteer organizations and initiatives. �Background: In the past decade, Michigan has seen the development of a number of statewide volunteer support organizations that have been focusing on the promotion, support and advancement of volunteerism and community service. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) was developed in 1989 to recognize the service contribution institutions of higher education were making to their communities. A few months later, a small group of community based volunteer centers began the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). A year later, the Michigan Nonprofit Association CMNA) (known then as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum) was developed to enhance the understanding of the nonprofit sector including the advancement of philanthropy and volunteerism. Finally in 1991, newly elected Governor John Engler created the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and in 1994, the Michigan Legislature codified the MCSC in state law (PA219). Over the years, all four organizations have worked coilaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the MNA. These partnerships have strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in immense administrative savings. In addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of all three organizations have been enhanced by this unique partnership. Recently, the MNA (and its affiliates) and the MCSC have made a concerted effort for a more intentional and effective partnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged by "outside influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding the need for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three primary motivating factors - the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; and the potential changes in federal programs that support volunteerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more effective as a unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that some activities/functions MUST remain separate - again, for the greater good of the field. What seems to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common functions of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus. "The Alliance" will be that neutral third entity. 2 �Michigan's "Volunteer Alliance" Programs & Services (D raft as of 8/8/00) MCSC MCC Council of Presidents Commissioners Executive Dir Staff- Outreach, Program , Admin. / MCSC Role Focus t---------1 Partnership Building I Convening Volunteer Recognitio n • Gov .

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) will permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. Once the campaign is completed, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will achieve its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This means: • • • • Access to a strong and healthy volunteer center for every Michigan resident, having every Michigan college and university encourage citizen service among its students, faculty and staff building strong nonprofits to meet our communities' most pressing social needs, and leveraging state and federal government 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. Romney, 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 the young and young at heart to give their time, talents and treasures 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 Major components of that infrastructure include a statewide network of volunteer centers helping local communities match volunteers with volunteer opportunities (Volunteer Centers of Michigan), an association of colleges and universities that have joined a compact that works to instill an ethic of service and civic action in the college students of today (Michigan Campus Compact), a trade association �for nonprofits to give voice and support to the vast array of nonprofit organizations throughout the state (Michigan Nonprofit Association), and a governmental body that promotes service and volunteerism by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts (Michigan Community Service Commission). Separate, but working in collaboration, these organizations have combined to build a powerful force—infrastructure—for volunteerism in Michigan. In October of 2000, the partnering organizations (MCC, MCSC, MNA & VCM) committed to building 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 all for the good of the volunteer field. Never before has such a diverse and powerful partnership been formed on a statewide level. This innovative partnership will leverage additional financial and human resources, reduce duplication of efforts, create a seamless support structure for Michigan's volunteers, establish new programs and initiatives and eliminate wasteful expenditures of vital resources. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will serve to continue Michigan's legacy of service and volunteerism—one of our state's most powerful forces. The Campaign Sustaining and strengthening that force 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, which, in itself, was created in an extraordinary way. In June of 2000, Governor John Engler signed into law Senate Bill 968 providing a challenge grant to build the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment. This grant provides up to $10 million that must be matched on a 1 to 1 basis by the private sector no later than November of 2002. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment represents an unprecedented public/private partnership and truly builds a long-term support mechanism for Michigan's volunteers. The Leadership The creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Leadership will demonstrate 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. That is why the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign will be supported and spear-headed by leaders from the philanthropic community, government, corporate sector and individuals concerned about supporting Michigan's volunteers. They include: To be inserted, as leadership is determined. �The Call to Action The ConnectMichigan Alliance needs your help. To ensure that we can sustain the legacy of community building and individual support through the selfless acts of Michigan's volunteers, we must solidify the infrastructure of four existing organizations through the ConnectMichigan Alliance. For the next 24 months, Michigan's foundations, corporations and individuals connected through a shared commitment to service and volunteerism can help match our $10 million challenge. We must work together to ensure Michigan's legacy of volunteerism. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby Impact on Southeastern Michigan iL .^Cj/W r o January 10, 2001 �Michigan Campus Compact Purpose: Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) promotes educational citizenship by helping campuses encourage service-learning experiences, which develop students' sense of civic responsibility. MCC members believe that direct contact with social problems and efforts to solve them allows students to reflect critically on the world around them and encourages them to take an active role in their communities. These experiences lay the foundation for a life-long ethic of civic responsibility and community service. Mission: The mission of MCC is to promote a commitment to community service and to foster a life-long service ethic in students. Specifically, MCC seeks to create or expand community service and servicelearning opportunities for students while promoting academic and co-curricular programs and to advocate for public policies that encourage and support student community service. Primary Constituents: MCC's primary constituents are the 33 member institutions of higher education in the MCC network. MCC supports the efforts of presidents, faculty, administrators, students and staff. MCC is the first organization in the United States to include its member presidents, students, faculty and staff in the development and implementation of service initiatives. Objectives/Priorities: MCC works to educate, support and recognize institutions of higher learning and their individual members, who want to be involved in promoting citizenship by encouraging service experiences for students. These experiences lay the foundation for a lifelong ethic of public responsibility and community service. Students learn to reflect critically on the world around them and gain the following skills through their engagement in service-learning: *Problem Solving *Collaboration * Responsibility *Leadership *Listening *Team-Building *Self-Discipline *Critical Thinking initiative Programs and Services: * Student Community Action Network *MCC Student Recognition Ceremony *MCC Resource Library *MCC Faculty/Staff Community Service-Learning Awards * Institute on Service-Learning *MCC Service Leadership Camp * Opportunities for Networking *MCC Grants (Venture Grants, Faculty Development Grants, Campus-Community Dialogue Grants, Community Engagement Grants, Fellowship Programs, Student Community Action Fund) Collaborative Network of Resources: *Private Foundations *Local Nonprofits *MSU Extension Services *Volunteer Centers of Michigan *Council of Michigan Foundations *MI Association of United Ways *MI Nonprofit Association *Michigan Community Service Commission *K-12 Schools *National Campus Compact Current Impact in Southeastern Michigan: MCC serves nine constituent organizations providing service in the Greater Metropolitan Detroit area; Davenport University - Eastern Region, Eastern Michigan University, Madonna University, Marygrove College, Saint Mary's College of Ave Maria University, University of Michigan, University of Michigan - Dearborn, University of Michigan - Flint, Wayne State University. All nine benefit directly from MCC programs and �services. MCC will issue grants totaling $75,000 to member institutions serving Southeastern Michigan over the next three years ($25,000/year). MCC's current organizational capacity promotes opportunities for service-learning and civic engagement on campuses located throughout Southeastern Michigan for over 40,000 students. While this strategy is proving to be successful in terms of institutionalizing service-learning in higher education curriculum, the current availability and allocation of resources limits MCC's capacity to address the full scope of needs in this area. ConnectMichigan Alliance Expands Impact in Southeastern Michigan: The ConnectMichigan Alliance expands and reorganizes available resources which enables MCC to more effectively and efficiently meet the needs of its constituency. It is estimated that CMA will result in four new member campuses in Southeastern Michigan and opportunities for an additional 15,000 to 20,000 students Southeastern Michigan. It is also projected that MCC will expand its grantmaking from $25,000 per year to $50,000. �Michigan Community Service Commission Program Impact for Greater Metro Detroit Investments Annually, the MCSC primarily focuses three funding streams on the greater metro-Detroit area. For this fiscal year, those investments are represented as follows: Michigan's AmeriCorps Learn & Serve America Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants Total Annual Investment $1,577,095 $ 120,113 S 150.000 $1,847,208 The MCSC's overall programming budget totals more than $5 million. The 1.8 million invested in Detroit only represents 36% of the funds available. One of the primary challenges the MCSC faces in getting those dollars in Detroit is our inability to effectively target and leverage resources to nonprofit organizations in Detroit that have the capacity to take on federal and state grants. The ConnectMichigan Alliance and the endowment that will support it can help the MCSC target those organizations, build up their capacity to access public funds and aid them in their plans to sustain quality service and volunteer programs. Highlights Among the programming investments MCSC in the Detroit area are: City Year Detroit City Year Detroit enrolls 70 members to serve in Michigan's AmeriCorps. City Year is a national service organization that unites young adults, ages 17-24, from diverse racial, cultural, educational and socioeconomic backgrounds for a demanding year of full-time community service, leadership development, and civic engagement. United in their desire to serve, corps members invest their talents and energies as directors of after-school programs, classroom facilitators in elementary and middle schools and builders of playgrounds and urban gardens. Detroit Academic Success The Detroit Academic Success Program involves 20 full-time members who provide in-school tutoring to low achieving elementary school students in five elementary schools in the Empowerment Zone to increase academic achievement and reading comprehension. The members also develop after-school tutoring labs for 200 neighborhood youth. In addition, the program develops community-wide service-learning projects to promote civic responsibility. Michigan 4-H Foundation for MSU Extension 4-H Youth Programs of Oakland County The Oak Park/Pontiac 4-H Learn and Serve Program is a partnership between MSU Extension 4-H Youth Programs of Oakland County, AmeriCorps Oakland, the 4-H VISTA Project, and the school districts of Oak Park and Pontiac. The program is designed to address the low literacy levels in those communities by providing experiential learning activities for a minimum of 150 program participants, most of whom are low-income or at-risk. The participants, who range in age between 5 and 19, assess the specific needs of the community, create plans to promote literacy in a way that satisfies true community needs, and carry out their plans. Such service activities take place approximately eight times per year. �Volunteer Impact Volunteer Impact has tapped the resources of the Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants program for two years totaling $125,000 in state support that will leverage other funds to be permanently invested in their local community foundation. With help from more than 10,000 volunteers, Volunteer Impact has completed more than 1,500 projects for some 200 local non-profit organizations since 1990. Volunteer Impact also hosts Hands-On Detroit Day, their annual fund raiser, when hundreds of volunteers help dozens of non-profit agencies in a single day. Volunteer Impact, Detroit's premiere volunteer corps, was founded on the idea that we all want to give something back to the community. But too often, we lack the time and the resources or simply don't know where to begin. �Michigan Nonprofit Association Mission: The Michigan Nonprofit Association's (MNA) mission is to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of volunteerism and philanthropy in the state. Affiliates: Michigan Campus Compact and Volunteer Centers of Michigan Primary Constituents: Nonprofit organizations in Michigan Objectives/Priorities • • • • • • To convene nonprofit leaders as well as the leadership of government and the private sectors. To increase understanding of the nonprofit sector, confront common issues and concerns and promote collaboration. To encourage voluntary giving and service. To disseminate information important to defining the sector, its scope and values on management/technical needs of organizations in the sector, fostering communication and collaboration in the public, private and nonprofit sectors. To take an active role in public policy that affects the nonprofit sector. To provide programs and services that enhances the sector by strengthening organizational capacities.

MNA's current organizational capacity has effectively increased the organizational capacities of its constituency. While the current strategy is proving to be successful, the current availability and allocation of resources limits MNA's capacity to address the full scope of needs in this area. ConnectMichigan Alliance Expands Impact in Southeastern Michigan: The ConnectMichigan Alliance expands and reorganizes available resources which enables MNA to focus more effectively and efficiently on meeting the needs of its constituency. It is estimated that CMA will result in fifty new member nonprofit organizations in Southeastern Michigan and increased opportunities to expand member organization capacity in terms of public policy, technology, and communication. It will also significantly increase MNA's potential to expand member services throughout the region. �VOLUNTEER CENTERS OF MICHIGAN Purpose: Volunteer Centers of Michigan's (VCM) primary purpose is to support local volunteer centers in their effort to mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems. Mission: The mission of VCM is to strengthen existing volunteer centers, to provide leadership in developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerism statewide. Primary Constituents: VCM's primary constituents are the 36 volunteer centers that are members of the state association. Programs and Services: *Member Mailings * Regional Trainings *Local Consultations *Quarterly Meetings *Volunteerism SuperConference *Michigan Association of Volunteer Administrators *Annual Retreat *ConnectMichigan *G. W. Romney Fund for Volunteerism in Michigan Program Standards of Excellence for Volunteer Centers: *Connect people with opportunities to serve *Participate in strategic initiatives *Promote volunteering *Build the capacity for effective local volunteering Collaborative Network of Resources: *Community Foundations * Local Nonprofits *MI Campus Compact *MI Nonprofit Association *Council of Michigan Foundations *MI Association of United Ways *MI Community Service Commission * Points of Light Foundation *K-12 Schools *Local United Ways *MSU Extension Services *Volunteer Center National Network Current Impact in Southeastern Michigan: VCM has two constituent organizations providing service in the Greater Metropolitan Detroit area; the George W. Romney Volunteer Center at United Way Community Services, and United Way of Monroe County Volunteer Action Center. Both volunteer centers participate regularly in VCM quarterly networking meetings and have been recipients of national service members as sub-grantees of the VCM AmeriCorps program. Additionally, the Monroe County Volunteer Action Center is a recipient of funding from the George W. Romney Volunteer Center Endowment. VCM's current organizational capacity promotes a geographic-focus strategy that limits membership to only one organization per geographic area. While this strategy initially promoted local collaboration, it is not in step with the needs of the vast and diverse nonprofit community serving Southeastern Michigan. ConnectMichigan Alliance Expands Impact in Southeastern Michigan: The ConnectMichigan Alliance expands and reorganizes available resources that enable VCM to operate in a manner consistent with the Points of Light Foundation's vision and the development of the National Network of Volunteer Centers. More importantly, it enables VCM to respond to the needs of the nonprofit community in Southeastern Michigan by transitioning resources in a manner that supports a network of centers that can provide targeted services to targeted areas. In preparation for the move to the ConnectMichigan Alliance, VCM is retooling its resources and focus to serve and assess organizations based on operational and program standards, rather than on geographic location. �In preparation for the transition, VCM has begun to provide basic technical assistance to six emerging volunteer centers which serve Southeastern Michigan. With the expanded organizational capacity VCM will experience through the formation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance, it is expected that each of the following organizations will be bolstered by the full benefit that membership in VCM affords: •"Lighthouse of Oakland County (Pontiac) *Northville Township Foundation (Northville) *Troy Community Volunteers Resource Center (Troy) *Plymouth Volunteer Center (Plymouth) *Volunteer Impact (Southfield) *Commission on Children, Youth and and Families - Volunteer Center (Farmington Hills) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
