Lindow, Chair Lynn Feldhouse Leo J . Brennan, Jr. Donald R. Parfet Herbert H. Dow Stephen E. Upton Steven T. Economy Kate Pew Wolters Re : Project update Corporate Gi ving Initiative Study Group Twelve CMF corporate members met on April 1, 1992 at the Detroit Athletic Club for dinner and a hands-on planning session regarding "Increasing and Enhancing Corporate Giv ing in Michigan." Their expert analysis and ideas were re c orded and are the basis of a six- page study produced by CMF. (That study is enclosed in the back pocket of these materials . ) Participants identified components of "The Ideal Corporate Giving Initiative" and recommended action steps to achieve that goal . Education, motivation and advocacy were noted as key program components and were directed both toward internal CMF acti ons and to relationships with external publics. Foremost in their. recommendations was that the Corporate Giving Initiative be funded to serv e as the leadership vehicle to meet continuing statewide needs. The Corporate Giving Initiative Committee will review this report and use it in developing a future corporate services plan to be presented to the Board at its Nov ember meeting. Other Project Updates The tenth annual Corporate Grantmaker Workshop was held Wednesday , May 13, 1992 at the Engineering Society of Detroit . Sponsors included the Council of Michigan Foundations, the Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce, Michigan Chamber of Commerce and the Council on Foundations . This marked the first involvement of the national Council with the Corporate Giving Initiative project . CMF staff served as advisors to the editor of the Michigan Forward, published by the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, in the production of its second annual issue dedicated to the subject of business philanthropy . The April, 1992 i ssue included materials submitted by Dorothy Johnson, R. Sue Dodea, John Cl a rk (Consumers Power Company) , Herb Spieler ( Jackson Community Foundation), Russell G. Mawby (Kellogg Foundation) and Donald R. Parfet (Upjohn) as well as by the Issue Network Group and Michigan Nonprofit Forum. Michigan Forward is the state's largest monthly business magazine . 965I �The Council of Michigan Foundations Corporate Giving Initiative Study Group Increasing and Enhancing Corporate Giving in Michigan Executive Summary and Action Steps I. Background This document summarizes results of a group exercise on "Increasing and Enhancing Corporate Giving In Michigan" involving representatives of 13 significant corporate giving programs. The participants are members of the Council of Michigan Foundations and currently make annual gifts ranging from $100,000 to $24,000,000. They represent manufacturing, energy utilities, banking, health care, retailing and professional sports. The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) hosted and staffed the program as part of its Corporate Giving Initiative. The event was held April!, 1992, at the Detroit Athletic Club. Working with an experienced facilitator, participants assessed the strengths of today's corporate giving community and CMF's corporate programming. They then provided visions for the future with "best" and "worst" case scenarios. The exercise culminated with a description of the ideal CMF corporate program. Central to this report are suggested action steps to accomplish that ideal. (An addendum of direct comments by participants as recorded during the exercise is included with this summary.) D. The Progressive Movement in Corporate Giving Today Seventy-six corporations are active CMF members, fonning a growing professional network. As giving programs mature, their missions are increasingly infonned by an awareness of the "pay-backs" of giving beyond federal and state tax incentives. Officers have an increased sense of social responsibility and respond to employee encouragement of corporate community involvement. Today, corporate resources are defmed as volunteerism, in-kind and matching gifts, as well as traditional cash gifts and pledges. There is strong interest in collaborative funding with foundations, government or other corporations. Efficacy, efficiency and evaluation are critical issues to maximize corporate resources. �Grantmakers are eager to learn about innovations in program design and technology, and to share information with other corporate grantmaking programs through formal and informal means. They are especially concerned with reaching out to those Michigan corporations who are not currently participating in the corporate giving network. They look to CMF for leadership, services and advocacy in all these issues, asking for professional support through consultation, publications, workshops, networking activities and research. III. Negative Visions of Our Future Uncontrollable factors head the list of potential threats to accomplishing CMF's goals of increasing and enhancing corporate giving in Michigan. Continuing national and state economic recession would put further pressure on reduced corporate profits, as well as shrinking state and federal government resources. Giving would decrease following industry mergers, acquisitions and downsizing. Philanthropy will suffer in light of improper, inappropriate or ineffective nonprofit program administration. In the "worst case" scenario, as the state's quality of life is diminished by economic losses, CMF provides no designated support staff for the corporate community. Specialized services are provided only for additional compensation. Loss of staffmg reSults in diminished advocacy efforts, general or specialized education for new and experienced grantmakers, weakening of corporate network. There is little or no growth in giving or in new program development IV. The Ideal Corporate Giving Initiative Education, motivation and advocacy are key components of an ideal corporate giving program. In addition to traditional services for CMF members, it assists developing corporate programs and creates awareness in the general business community. It is a clearinghouse of information for short- and longterm program needs and interests ranging from models of corporate and nonprofit excellence to giving methodologies and technology. It acts as a liaison between donor and nonprofit organizations to encourage the expeditious use of resources in the best interest of Michigan's citizens and businesses. V. Action Steps to Accomplish the Ideal Program participants individually, and in many cases, collectively endorsed the following steps to accomplish the goals of increasing and enhancing COrp<lrate giving in Michigan. Implicit in their recommendations was that the CMF Corporate Giving Initiative be funded to serve as the vehicle for these activities. -Education Publish a Michigan Corporate Grantmaker Directory with significant giving program information to be updated on an on-going basis. (To be circulated only within membership.) �Develop and promote program evaluation services to assist business in maximizing its contribution's investment regardless of economic conditions. Create a quality recognition award for program excellence to increase visibility and appreciation. Highlight "Blue Ribbon" programs in newsletters and other materials on effective giving programs in order to inform and strengthen network, provide recognition to worthy efforts, encourage new programs. Conduct regional panels on philanthropic issues involving CMF member professionals as "faculty" to encourage proactive program development Use slides or video to spotlight notable programs, results. Target corporate officers and Boards of Directors for corporate giving education. Develop network of retired corporate giving professionals to increase statewide pool of professional resources. Target foreign-owned companies for philanthropic education, including philosophies, management. network. Provide education which supports holistic giving philosophy which includes cash, in-kind gifts, volunteerism and community leadership as corporate resources. -Motivation Work with business organizations, media. to promote philosophy of community investment linked to corporate strategic goals. Assist corporations faced with resource downsizing to find partnership opportunities to fund critical programs. Encourage the development of programs that can bring together all factions of philanthropy for mutual progress and elimination of duplicative services. -Advocacy Encourage corporate endowments to diminish resources lost through corporate mergers and acquisitions. Work with media to develop continuing interest in corporate philanthropy, recognition for its effects instate. Encourage local Chambers of Commerce to develop contributions committee formats. �Council of Michigan Foundations Increasing and Enhancing Corporate Giving in Michigan Direct Comments The Prouessiye Moyement Today 70 corporate members in the Council of Michigan Foundations. Networks are in place among committed experts leading corporate programs. More sophisticated professionals leading corporate grananaking than in the past CMF programs provide significant spring schools, annual conference tracks, regional workshops. CMF public affairs, communications and legislative programs create awareness, advocacy, positive member exposure. Awareness of the " pay back" to all fr om giving and an increased sense of corporate responsibility coming down from directors. Maturation of the grananaking process as part of the corporation, its culture and goals accompanied by the commitment of corporate leaders to their communities. Pressure from employees who want corporate involvement in community issues encourages gifts, volunteerism, leadership. Greater sense of commitment to make community better. Emphasis on non-cash gifts, volunteerism as a replacement for cash. Grantseekers are more sophisticated (thus more appropriate in their requests). Federal and state tax incentives encourage corporate giving. There is increasing community pressure for giving. Potential Threats to Pro~ress Continued statewide and national recession. Shrinking government resources. Funding for Corporate Giving Initiative dries up, eliminates services. �Continued ineffectiveness of public education places increased costs on business. Further scandals such as United Way executive pay erode confidence in non-profit sector. Global economics continue to drain funds from state, reduce incoming profits. Mergers and acquisitions reduce both size and number of corporate giving programs. Continued downsizing of industry reduces giving budgets and scope. "Worst Case" Scenario No corporate giving initiative, no professional CMF corporate support staff to provide information, resources. No education or training for new or experienced staff. No growth in giving or in the number of new corporate giving programs. CMF requires additional compensation to serve corporations or corporate members. Corporate gifts made in state are misguided or ineffectual. No advocate speaking to the public or media on behalf of corporate philanthropy. Quality of life in state worsens with failing state economy, requires more fund-raising from bus4lesses with smaller profits. No "grantmak:er/grantseeker" meetings or other liaisons with non-profit community. Corporate giving network lapses. The Ideal Corporate Girint Initiative Staffed to provide a knowledgeable resource on giving issues and what's going on in Michigan, an information "hot line." Assist Chambers of Commerce statewide in establishing contributions committees. Address corporate leaders through groups such as the Young Presidents Organization, Rotary Clubs, etc. A centralized, collaborative initiative which can assist corporations in coordinating their efforts, can serve as liaison with other organizations and activities involving the philanthropic and non-profit communities. - Professional staff serving as a resource, with the program acting to convene participants. Provide updates on corporate programs to share ideas, assist in program focusing. Advocate for collaborative funding activities with CMF as fiduciary. �Maintain calendar and data on community fund-raising campaigns, timing and goals in response to increased community expectations of corporate support Provide clearinghouse and information on emerging issues, i.e., state budget cuts. Educate and motivate non-giving corporations and other givers, assist them in understanding why corporations give and the needs it fulfills. Inform corporations of innovations both in program areas and in process issues (i.e., computer technology for grantmakers). Reinforce what corporations are doing right, provide an audit process for feedback. Spread the word of how to access corporate giving. Assist corporate committees in focusing their programs, assure them it's okay to concentrate the resources in specific areas, demonstrate that it's good business to give and to make an impact Work with media to educate public, stimulate media coverage. Seek more corporate donors, espeically among second teir companies. Assist corporations in developing giving program priorities. Provide new staff training and refresher courses for experienced grantmakers. Use peers to provide advocacy on behalf of corporate giving. Provide corporations with specific lists of who is handling various giving-related functions. Print as directory for private, corporate-only distribution. Show corporation's major areas of concentration; list matching gift programs. Assist corporations in getting feedback on their gifts and successful programs. anfformslinc&,nha � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

General Operations expenses are over budget due to increased participation in the Annual Conference and the cost of publishing and promoting the Michigan Foundation Directory. A price increase is planned for next year for the Directory. The Michigan AIDS Fund ' s revised granting cycle accounted for its coming in under budget.

Fischer, Staff Associate RichardT . Karppinen, Financial Officer Linda B. Patterson, Administrative Director Investment Report Attached is the Council of Michigan Foundations' Twelve Month Investment Report. The year-end report was revised on advise of our auditors to reflect additional interest transfers to the CMF/Youth II Interest Fund, as directed by the Board of Trustees for the Drexel Reserve. The report details the six CMF investment funds. Drexel Situation Update: \ Staff thought you might wish to be updated on the Drexel Reorganization Plan and where CMF stands at this point. As you will recall, a portion of the CMF/Youth Grant Fund I, received from a $2 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, had been invested in Derxel Burnham Lambert Group, Inc. Commercial Paper and had been due to mature on February 16, 1990. When they declared bankruptcy on February 14, 1990, CMF suffered a $400,000 paper loss. Subsequently, the Kellogg Foundation very generously indicated that they would guarantee any loss sustained by the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Initiative Project up to $400,000. Last February, our Board of Trustees designated presently held interest earnings from the Kellogg I and Kellogg II Youth Initiative grants, to be reserved for resolution of the Drexel situation. We have been notified that under the Drexel Burnham Plan of Reorganization, the value of CMF's holding will be 54 . 9' of the amount claimed, or approximately $220,000. A check representing partial payment of this amount was received in May, 1992, in the amount of $122,970.42 and was deposited to the CMF/Youth Grant Fund I account. The Youth Initiative Project I still has grant obligations of $600,000, with a 3/31/92 ending fund balance of $195,020.

Getz, Chair Thomas A. Bruce Frederick Bryant Robert S. Collier William K. Emery Mary D. Fisher Beth Goebel Re: Ruth L. Goins A. James Heynen Glenn F. Kossick Mark A. Miller W. Calvin Patterson, III Linda B . Patterson Ira Strumwasser Grant Recommendation and Committee Report RESOLVED : That the Board of Trustees of the Council of Michigan Foundations approve the following grant as recommended by the Michigan AIDS Fund Committee: University of Michigan - Center for Public Health Policy $24,000 Background Statement : In February the Trustees approved, subject to available funding, nineteen recommended grants . At that time, three grant requests were reported as "pending." Of these three, the Michigan AIDS Fund Committee recommends in favor of one (U of M' s Center for Public Health Policy) and against two (Vista Maria and "Women and AIDS," Wayne State University as fiduciary). Summary statements and rational of recommendations for each of the proposals are appended to this report. Copies of the full proposals are available, upon request, to any trustee wishing to receive them prior to the June Board meeting . Committee Report: In the few months since the February Board meeting, the Michigan AIDS Fund Committee has achieved substantial planning and maturation. The Committee has met twice, and its staff and individual members have completed a series of critical projects: 1. The successful securing of funds necessary to support all proposed second phase grant awards; 2. The development and approval of an annual calendar for grantmaking, conferencing, technical support, and administration which will assure advance funding for future activities; 3. The publication of a Michigan AIDS Fund brochure (copy enclosed) and initiation of a broad-based communications plan; 4. The creation of a strategic plan outline , with marketing elements, which will allow the Committee to report its long-range (3-year) plan to the Trustees in November 1992, rather than June, 1993; and 5. The expansion of Committee membership, with plans to further enhance the number and representativeness of the Committee in coming months . 6. The planning of a September 12 Michigan AIDS Grantees Conference to be held in Midland with Larry Kessler as keynote speaker. �It is noteworthy that Mary D. Fisher, daughter of and Marjorie Fisher, has joined the Michigan AIDS HIV-positive member. Although living in Florida, attended one committee meeting and given evidence an active, participating member in support of the goals. Detroit philanthropists Max Fund Committee as its first Ms. Fisher has already of her intention to become Council's and Committee's Development efforts have resulted in grants to the Michigan AIDS Fund, in support of 1992 and 1993 activities, from 23 donors totaling $707,000 at this time. This compares favorably with the first phase funding in 1991 when 16 donors contributed $452,100 . Included in the 1992 total is a $300,000 grant from the W.K . Kellogg Foundation, a $200,000 grant from the C. S. Mott Foundation, a $100,000 grant from the National Community AIDS Partnership, and a $15,000 trustee-designated grant from Dr. June Osborn of The Henry J . Kaiser Family Foundation. We are now securing grants to support Fund activities in 1993 and beyond. �Michigan AIDS Fund Summary of Projects Considered �Project Recommended for Approval University of Michigan Center for Public Health Policy $24,000 Summary This grant, together with $20,000 pledged by the Michigan Department of Public Health, will enable University of Michigan researchers to complete an evaluation of current HIV/AIDS needs, resources, and resource effectiveness in the Metropolitan Detroit area. Findings will be used to support a Federal grant application to secure multi - million dollar HIV/AIDS-related funding (under the Ryan White act) which will, in 1993, be available to Detroit for the first time. Rationale Our concern and support for this project can to traced to four conclusions: 1. When first presented, the Committee felt endorsement of, and partial support for, this project should come from the Michigan Department of Public Health. Endorsement has been clear and the Department of Public Health has provided $20,000 to support the project. 2. The interests of the State of Michigan and the Michigan AIDS Fund are both served by the research report. 3. The results of this research project will position the Metro Detroit area to attract additional national funding through Ryan White legislation. 4. Our evaluation of the project and familiarity with its senior staff have satisfied members of the Committee that the assessment will complement, not duplicate, other research projects. We are now ready to recommend this project to the CMF Trustees for approval. �Projects Reviewed but not Recommended for Approv al Vista Maria, Dearborn Heights $30,000 Summary This nonprofit residential treatment center, serving 110 girls 11 to 17 years of age, requested a grant to fund a project which includes HIV counseling and testing services for the residents, formation of an ongoing support group for young women testing HIV-positive, development of an age-appropriate Life Skills and Human Sexuality Program addressing AIDS-related health issues, and supportive services for persons dealing with HIV/AIDS . Rationale While the Committee noted that this organization is both well - funded and capably admini stered, there was not e v idence of pursuit of cooperation with other agencies who might provide HIV testing for Vista Maria residents without costly duplication . The Committee was not conv inced the requested funds were needed as critically as other requests and felt that they could likely be secured by the organization from other sources . Women and AIDS (Wayne State University, fiduciary) $62 , 500 Summary The project proposed to compensate seven persons testing HIV-positive to fill speaking engagements in Michigan communities informing young people, high-risk groups, and others about AIDS prevention and related AIDS topics . Rationale Although use of speakers to inform others about AIDS has typically been done by v ol u nteers, the Committee recognizes the need to provide speakers who are HIV-positive - - speakers who often deserve and need supplemental income . We recognize the enhanced impact this service imparts when the message is delivered by speakers personally infected, and we acknowledge the value of this service while i t was being funded by the Michigan State Medical Society prior to the recent cutbacks . But the committee reluctantly concluded that we are unable to recommend a proposal which personally benefits its recipients so directly . The Committee also affirmed its high regard for the opportunities this project offers and the contributions being made by several of the speakers, including Tammy Boccomino and Kathy Gerus . The Committee will offer technical assistance which will permit existing programs to offer limited services, and which may suggest new alternatives as means to secure reasonable funding for such efforts . 958I � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There is an unprecedented growth in the number of community foundations and the issues they are addressing. Corporations are restructuring, merging, divesting, and downsizing to meet earnings targets, make sense of the integration and disintegration of world markets, and meet global competition. In the process, corporate focus and resources for philanthropy are changing, as are their needs of CMF . Considerable wealth is being accumulated by individuals and companies that lack a tradition of charitable giving. Government is challenging long-standing formulas f?r tax exemption and philanthropy. Issues and anticipated Retreat outcomes were shared . Position papers will be prepared on each of the issues, and the meeting will be facilitated by Kathy Agard. Ms . Agard presented information on how the meeting will be structured. Several Board members shared their comments regarding issues to' be discussed at the Board Retreat. Mr .

Lindow, Chairman Corporate Giving Initiative Corporate Giving Initiative - Years 1993-96 RESOLVED: The CMF Corporate Giving Initiative be continued for an additional three years. During 1993-96 period plans will be made to permanently incorporate the financial demands of the initiative into the general operating budget. Background In 1989 CMF adopted a corporate init"iative which included the following three goals: · - to increase the aggregate level of funding from Michigan corporate contributions; - to influence the effectiveness of contributions planning and management in Michigan companies, and thus; - to accelerate the process of improvement and expansion that occurs normally between peer companies. Three years later CMF bas - increased corporate membership 53' from 51 to 78 corporate members - increased CMF corporate contributions from $37,825 to $129,953. - increased the number of educational workshops and publications for corporate officers and employees* - increased the media coverage of corporate giving* - increased the awareness and advocacy for corporate giving programs* *The details of advocacy and service offerings are found on the attached report . All of these accomplishments were achieved during a restrictive business period. By and large corporate giving remained flat or was reduced . In some ways the climate assisted the effort, "to do more with less," however, not many corporations were looking for new charitable initiatives. �1993-96 It is proposed that CMF continue the Initiative, and as soon as possible, but within three years, incorporate any funding requirements into the general operating budget. The goals of the program will be the same as for 1989-1992 , with the addition of the following: - to incorporate the funding of the corporate service program into CMF's general operating budget. Strategy 1. Work with individual Members, at their request, in person, by phone and mail. Every corporate member service questionnaire across the country has pointed out that the most used service is "an expert to answer questi<ms." 2. Work with other Michigan corporations at their request, from referrals and as possible by "cold calls . " 3. Work with, and address, industry groups such as those addressed during the first three years of the Initiative - Michigan Farm Bureau, Michigan Beer and Wine Association, American Bar Association and local Chambers of Commerce. 4. Work with the Michigan Chamber of Commerce to promote corporate g1v1ng. James Barrett, President, Michigan Chamber of Commerce, has already committed to devoting a spring, 1993, issue of Michigan Forward to corporate philanthropy; developing five - to-ten minute corporate giving stories to be shown on PBS, articles in the Michigan Business Journal and to invite CMF to provide corporate giving course material at Chamber seminars and workshops. 5. Address community service clubs such as Rotary, Lions, Exchange, about the value of corporate giving. 6. Continue workshops, small group meetings, newsletters and publications . - Expand Corporate Giving Committee to include corporate giving officers. Meet at least twice a year, in the hopes that more people will take ownership in the mission, perhaps providing written material and speeches, etc. - Continue the services of R. Sue Dodea, but on a half-ti me basis, for specific tasks such as assisting Members, editing three corporate newsletters, working with Michigan Chambers, and addressing Ch~ers . ( �- Sandra G. ~att, CMF Membership Service Director , will be the principal staff member to serve corporations, coordinating the program, responding to requests, and calling potential members. Budget The budget to support the Initiative will be presented to the Board of Trustees on March 11, 1993, as part of the regular budget process. It is estimated that the total budget will be $75,000 - $85,000 . Leo J. Brennan, Jr. has already notified CMF that the Ford Motor Company Fund will continue a fourth year grant of $25,000. This will bring the Ford Motor Company contribution to the Initiative to $100,000. Consumers Power, Steelcase and NBD have requested proposals for the fourth year. Other corporate members will also receive a request for funding .

Overall, total 1ncome is ahead of the same per1od last year . Expenses for the first six months exceeded ex~enses for the same period a year ago due to Michigan AIDS Fund grants that have been awarded within this per1od and Community Foundation expenses. Most isolated line item expenses that appear ahead of budget are due to the completion of activities and contracts. With the Community Foundation program, Small Conferences, Meeting and Travel, and Publication expenses are all ahead of budget due to an accelerated schedule and increased demand for services. These items will be managed in future budgets. We wish to advise the Board that management is aware that General Operations' "Professional Services" will exceed budget at year-end becauae of the computer consultant study, approved by the Executive Committee, and the hiring of the new part-time Financial Director. "Publications ana Printing" for the Community Foundations will also exceed budget at year-end due to an accelerated_publications schedule~ which will allow more time to recooperate costs through sales in future years. These situations will oe managed in future budgets.

Board of Trustees Government Relations Committee Ranny Riecker, Chair Government Relations Committee Report Legislative Goal Statement RESOLVED: adopted . The attached CMF Legislative Goal Statement, including revisions be The Committee reviewed the current statement and proposes the revisions as noted by an (*) aster isk. Every issue has been raised by one or more CMF Member . CMF has worked closely with the Council on Foundations on evaluating each issue . II. Information Items State and National Legislative Networks - "Developing Goodwill"' ( The Committee places a high priority on reorganizing the networks following the election. Staff has completed sorting foundations by Congressional Districts and will complete the state districts in December . CMF Michigan Congressional Delegatio~ _Visits At the suggestion of Leonard Smith, the Committee asked staff to plan a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with Michigan ' s two Senators and 16 Congressmen. Each Congressman would receive a computer printout of the foundations in their district, a Michigan Foundation Directory, CMF ' s Key Indicator and Grant papers. In addition to individual meetings, a group event will be held similar to an earlier CMF trip in the 1980's as part of the Council on Foundations Conference. The date for such a visit is to be confirmed with interested parties but will ideally be before June, 1993. State Legislative Seminar The third CMF Legis l ative Seminar will be held Wednesday, March 10, 1993 from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. at the Michigan Library and Historical Center. As in the past CMF Members will be asked to present information about privat e, community and corporate giving . A complimentary copy of the Michigan Foundation Directory will be given each legislator and department head. �CMF State Legislative and Executive Leadership Visits The Committee voted to proceed with a program to state leaders to discuss the work of CMF Members legislative agenda, as appropriate. It has been CMF participants including the Chair, Government meet for dinner with the leadership once a year . systematically meet with as well as to discuss CMF's suggested that six or seven Relations Chair and President Michigan Tax Incentive Study CMF is represented on the Michigan Nonprofit Forum's Tax Incentive Study Committee. The Committee is evaluating donor incentives for contributions to charitable organizations, and will be presenting the results of the study to state legislators . Dorothy A. Johnson, co-chair.s the effort with Robert ·E. Ivory, President, United Way of Michigan. Board member John E. Hopkins serves on this committee with other CMF Members including Suzanne L. Feurt, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation; Richard T. Cole, Blue Cross & Blue Shield; and David 0. Egner, W.K . Kellogg Foundation and Acting Executive Director, Michigan Nonprofit Forum. You will recall that the state legislature requested the Department of Treasury to prepare a study on tax incentives as part of the community foundation tax credit renewal legislation. Any legislative strategies resulting from the study which involve CMF will be presented to the CMF Government Relations Committee and the Board before any action is taken. Study on Deferred Compensation Arrangements The Government Relations Committee has asked staff to assemble a paper on compensation arrangements, including the "how-to's." Staff is investigating the best approach to obtaining this information, to be available to CMF Members on request. MAR/pab:Ol62B attachment �NOTE: Proposed revisions are asterisked (*) COUNCIL OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement November, 1992 Philanthropy in America Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 1991, foundations and corporations donated more than $13.8 billion for charitable causes and services including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, libraries, and programs for the elderly and the needy. Today, foundations and corporations are being challenged to increase their suppon and charitable donations in the face of major cutbacks by local, state, and federal governments. In the face of this challenge, it is apparent that much can and should be done to encourage the creation and growth of new foundations and corporate giving programs. Unfortunately, the 1969 Tax Act, while introducing a number of reforms, also erected a number of major barriers to foundation philanthropy. These include provisions that serve as disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as provisions that discourage charitable donations to foundations. After more than 22 years of experience, it is also apparent that a number of Internal Revenue Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive on the grantmak.ing effectiveness of Michigan's more than l, 100 foundations, as well as the more than 31,000 other foundations in communities across the United States. If foundations and corporations are to expand their support of important social needs and programs, the Council of Michigan Foundations must work actively to inform the general public, as well as state and federal1egislators and other policyrnakers, on these important issues. It must seek support for legislative changes that encourage the role and effectiveness of foundation and corporate philanthropy. That is the purpose of the following Council of Michigan Foundations' Government Relations Program. Back~:round: CMF Government Relations Program In 1977, the Council of Michigan Foundations' (CMF) Members directed the Board ofTrustees to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy. This program was to include a plan to communicate with public policyrnakers. A Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the program. Since then, the Government Relations Committee has surveyed CMF Members on their legislative interests and priorities on a timely basis. In 1980, CMF also launched a "Developing Good Will Program" to assist in this public information effon. CMF has worked with Member foundations, the Council on Foundations, and other regional associations of grantmakers to enhance the understanding of public policyrnakers about foundation philanthropy and to bring about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. -1- �As a result of these efforts by CMF and others, the mandatory payout requirement has been lowered by Congress to a flat five percent of foundation assets, the excise tax on foundations has been reduced, the .6.5 limit on grant administrative expenses has tenninated, fair regulations on lobbying have been issued, and at the state level a tax credit for individual and corporate contributions to community foundations. The 1984 Tax Bill relaxed limitations on gifts to private foundations. The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March 1, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 198.5; April22, 1988; and February 2.5, 1992. A seventh revision is being recommended to the Board of Trustees, November 4, 1992. National Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Support the continuation and expansion of tax incentives for the creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. 2. Goal: Make permanent the full deductibility of publicly-traded stock given to private foundations. Explanation: The Tax Refonn Act of 1984 changed the law to permit living donors to make gifts of publicly-traded stock to private foundations and be able to deduct the full fair market value. Unfortunately, the change expires at the end of 1994. 3. Goal: Change the limitation on gifts to a private foundation from 20 percent to 50 percent. Explanation: Under existing law, the amount deductible by an individual taxpayer for contributions to private non-operating foundations is computed as a percentage of the donor's contribution base (in most cases, his or her adjusted gross income). An individual may deduct only 20 percent of the gifts of appreciated property or 30 percent of gifts of cash. On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50 percent of his contribution base for gifts to public charities. 4. Goal: Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer for a gift to a private foundation of certain capital gain property. Explanation: Under existing law, individual taxpayers may deduct the full fair market value of a gift of appreciated property in the fonn of publicly-traded stock if the gift is less than 10% of the outstanding stock of the company. However, in other cases, such as privately-held stock, the amount of the deduction is limited to the donor's cost or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The same gift to a public charity entitles the taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction. \ -2- j �*5. Goal: Amend the law to return to the pre-1987 status whereby the gain portion of gifts of appreciated property is not subject to the alternative minimum tax reduction. Explanation: Beginning in 1987, any donor who is subject to the alternative minimum tax may deduct only the cost of such a gift. The gain portion of such a gift is not deductible. This change primarily affects charities, community foundations and pass-through foundations who frequently receive such gifts. 6. Goal: Pursue legislation which would allow the establishment of a common fund for private and community foundations. Explanation: Currently, foundations are not allowed by law to pool their assets. Ideally, private and community foundations could have an investment vehicle which would allow for pooling with potentially greater investment returns and administrative efficiencies. Such a fund is allowed for public charities. 7. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability. Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that inflation be taken into consideration. A portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. 8. Goal: Reduce excise tax to flat 1 percent instead of the present complicated formula which permits, in some cases, a reduction from 2 to 1 percent. Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from 2 to 1 percent if a foundation's payout for the year in question equals or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets, times the average payout percentage for the previous five years, plus 1 percent of the foundation's net investment income. 9. Goal: Support relaxation of the public-support test for community foundations. Explanation: Community foundations must raise new money each year to meet the Internal Revenue Services' (IRS) 10 percent public support test. In some instances, raising 10 percent in additional funds in a given year may not be possible, even though the community foundation is broadly representative of the public interest. *10. Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and support efforts to ensure that the 3 percent floor expires after five years or sooner. Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, the Congress approved a 3 percent floor on deductions. This floor expires at the end of 1995. -3- �11 . Goal: Establish a small grant rule, which would allow grants for charitable purposes of less than $25,000 to be free of "expenditure responsibility." Explanation: Currently, if a private foundation makes a grant for a charitable purpose to an organization without IRS tax classification as a public charity, the foundation must assume "expenditure responsibility." This is a costly and time-consuming function for private foundations, and most will not undertake the responsibility. Others are discouraged about the amount of paperwork necessary for a grant of less than $25,000. 12. Goal: Limit lineal descendants who are "disqualified persons" at the level of grandchildren. Explanation: In 1984, the law was amended to limit "disqualified persons" to substantial contributors to a foundation and their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and their spouses. The amendment further provided that substantial contributors will no longer be considered "disqualified persons" if, over a ten-year period, they make no further contributions to the foundation and do not manage it, and their total contributions are insignificant in light of substantial growth in foundation assets. However, there is still no logical rationale-or examples of abuse-to justify the inclusion of lineal descendants beyond the level of grandchildren. 13. *14. Goal: Exclude from the formula used to compute the excise tax on private foundation net investment income any capital gain realized in the fiscal year in question. Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for nonitemizers with a $100 floor. Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer ftle the long tax form which permits itemized deductions; instead they ftle the short form which allows only a standard deduction. *15. Goal: Modify the law to permit the "out of corpus" requirement to be met by a foreign grantee if sufficient documentation is provided showing that the full amount of the grant was spent for the specified purposes within 12 months after the year the grant was made. Explanation: When making grants to some foreign charities, private foundations are required to treat them as private foundations. Any grant from a private foundation to another private foundation requires that the amount granted "flow through" the grantee and out as qualifying distributions that are made "out of corpus" by the end of the following year. The purpose for this rule is to prevent a foundation from avoiding the payout rule by having one private foundation give to another who then simply adds the grant to its endowment (corpus), with charitable grantees receiving no benefit In the foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment and totally misunderstands the concept of "out of corpus." -4- �*16. Goal: Change the due date of the ftrst estimated tax payment so that it coincides with the due date of the Form 990-PF. Explanation: Private foundations now must pay estimated taxes on their investment income in quarterly payments. However, the first payment each year is due three and a half months after the tax year while the tax return is not due until a month later. 17. Goal: Change the Unrelated Business Income Tax application to private foundation real estate investments. National Regulatory Issues *I. Goal: Revise regulations that preserve the principle of full deductibility from U.S. source income for corporate gifts to U.S. charities operating in the United States and provide rules for securing such deductions that are reasonable and easy to administer. Explanation: The IRS announced the Service's intention of issuing regulations that would require charitable gifts and grants by multinational corporations to be allocated between U.S. and non-U.S. sources for purposes of charitable deductions. *2. Goal: Return to the old rule for grants by U.S. foundations to nonresident aliens, where such payments are taxable depending on the place where the research or study takes place. Explanation: In 1989, Treasury published Revenue Ruling 89-67 which reversed a long-standing position involving payments to nonresident aliens for scholarships, fellowships, prizes and awards. The old rule said that the source of such payments- for tax purposes- was determined according to where the research or study activities take place. Problems developed when the 1986 Tax Reform Act changed the rules for scholarships, fellowships, etc., so that such payments were taxable except for tuition and related fees. Thus, many foreign students in the U.S. became subject to U.S. tax. The universities sought relief. The 1989 ruling reversed the old rule by stating that the source of the payment- for tax purposes- shall now be determined according to the residence of the~ As a result, such payments by U.S. foundations to nonresident aliens working or studying outside the U.S. became subject to 30 percent withholding. *3. Goal: Obtain a ruling which approves a generic affidavit format that may be completed by non-U.S. grantees so that multiple foundations may rely on such documentation for grantmaking, thus avoiding the need for individual legal opinions for every grant to the same charity. -5- �Explanation: Presently private foundation grants to non-U.S. charities require obtaining either a written legal opinion or an affidavit from the grantee that establishes sufficiently that the grantee is the equivalent of a U.S. charity. The efforts to obtain such documentation are often time-consuming, complicated and expensive. The Council has initiated efforts to develop a more accessible process. *4. Goal: Obtain a Treasury ruling stating that no part of the premiums paid for directors and officers liability insurance need be treated as compensation for any charitable organization. Explanation: Existing rulings indicate that some small portion of the premiums paid for directors and officers liability insurance for private foundations must be treated as compensation to those covered to avoid self-dealing. *5. Goal: Permit community foundations to administer pooled income funds with the remainder interest at the donor's death going to the local charity either by a) establishing a designated fund, or 2) turning the corpus directly over to the local charity designated by the donor at the time of the contribution of the fund. Explanation: A pooled income fund is a form of deferred giving whereby a living donor may contribute assets to the fund and receive income payments during his or her lifetime. The donor is eligible for a limited charitable deduction in the year of the gift and at the donor's death the charity receives title to the endowment. By pooling such contributions, a charity can more efficiently administer this type of program. Current law, however, requires that a pooled income fund be "maintained" by the organization to which the remainder interest is contributed. State Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Support tax incentives for contributions to charitable organizations. 2. Goal: Limit the tort liability of volunteers of nonprofit corporations. Explanation: Individuals are often reluctant to act as volunteers on behalf of charitable organizations for fear that they will be sued for acts or omissions committed in furtherance of these duties. The prospect of personal liability for acts performed on the behalf of charity can be a serious deterrent to the spirit of volunteerism. Michigan law currently permits nonprofit corporations to limit the liability of their volunteer directors. This proposal would also provide protection to volunteer officers and the volunteer "work force" behind the organization. -6- �3. Goal: Revise calculation to determine state inheritance tax. Explanadon: Michigan taxes the transfer of assets at death under Act. No. 188 of the Public Acts of 1899. The tax is inequitable, inefficient and encourages Michigan residents to move their primary residence out of state. Consequently, the state is losing resources and local leadership. It is recommended that Michigan follow the practices of twenty-nine other states by converting its inheritance tax to a pickup only tax, which means the only state tax on death transfers equals the federal credit for state death taxes paid. CMF Activity 1. Regularly communicate with elected officials of federal, state, and local levels about foundation activities and concerns. 2. Encourage Member foundations to report grants and activities to government officials. 3. Encourage Members in each Michigan Congressional District to meet as a group with their legislator when the legislator is in District to discuss the local contribution of community and private foundations and corporate giving. 4.

James Heynen Beth Goebel Linda B. Patterson Ruth L. Goins Re : Michigan AIDS Fund Strategic Plan Progress Report Background Statement: As requested by the Board of Trustees, the Michigan AIDS Fund has, over the past several months, developed an organizational and funding plan for the Board's consideration . The process of strategic planning relied on ideas outlined by MAF's Chair, Barbara Getz, and reported to CMF's Trustees in June, 1992. The Michigan AIDS Fund has examined, in consultation with CMF officers and staff, alternative structures which would lead to 1995, the concluding year of the committee's current charge from CMF's Trustees . After thorough study and discussion, the Michigan AIDS Fund Committee has concluded that the programs and goals of the project will be best serv~d by a close partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations which encourages organizational independence . If the Board chooses to establish a supporting organization structure, such a vehicle would be an ideal home for the stability and permanence of this project. The attached strategic plan assumes the creation of such a structure, but it is recognized that the Board ' s deliberation over the next few months will ultimately resolve the organizational issue to which. this plan will be adjusted. A narrative of the strategic plan, including projected financial goals and fundraising plans, is attached. LBP/0106I attachment �The Michigan AIDS Fund of The Council of Michigan Foundations Strategic Plan Organization.

Fischer, Staff Associate; Sandra Hussey, Membership Services Director; Linda B. Patterson, Administrative Director; and Judy M. Carl, Staff Associate, who recorded. Ms. Judith S. Hooker~ CMf Chair, welcomed Board .embers and presented information on the rationale for the Retreat. At tbe request of Kathy Agard, Retreat facilitator, introductions were given by those in attendance. MS . Dorothy A.

Smith presented background infor.ation on issues relating to member services/grantmaking, a copy of which is apPended to the file copy of these minutes, and suggested that the Retreat disenssion eoncerniag the appropriateness of special projects or grantmaki nq by CMF be held in the context of CMFs' Purposes. CMF currently provides pbilanthropic leadership and membership services in the areas of training, infonaation ezehanqe, public policy advocacy, and special project administration--which in some cases involves grantmaking. Mr. Smith noted that the Retreat's core issue may be whether the Board views CMFs' purposes, activities, and projects priaarily to serve members and grantmakers, or as a service to the larger nonprofit community. He distributed additional information to facil i tate discussion, eonsistiog of CMF's 1992-93 Plan of Work and background on CMF's AIDS Fund. Four "teams" consisting of 5-6 Retreat members were formed for group discussion of the issues, which were led by Mariam C. Noland, James M. Richmond, Kate Pew Wolters, and Donald A. Lindow. The teaas discussed the following questions related to CMF Membership Services/Grantaaking: �-2- 1. 2. 3. 4. Does anythinq make you uncomfortable about CMF's current practice? Should CMF'1 current practice be chanqed? If so, how? Should CMF'1 current practice be continued? Team leaders were asked to hiqhlight comments from their qroupz Noland: Reaffir.ation of Purposes of CMF Focus on current services to . .mbers, not new territor, CMF grantmaking should be used as an incubator to develop programs, ultimately spinniuq off to another organization, e.9. Emerqency Lo·a n Fund Richmond: Board should be involved in aajor policy issues; Ad-hoc committees formed to address issues CMF not seen as grantmaker, but rather, facilitator of ~r issues CMF pri.arily a member service organization CMF sensitive to all membership groups (corp., community, priv.), retaining and recruiting members through good services Digest current programs and do them well; no new prograaa Pew-Wolters: Several Members are uncomfortable due to fiduciary responsibilities; others more comfortable with guidelines CMF's practice should include guidelines/critical questions addressing issues such as staff time, board time, expertise, number of members, impact on ~~embers and state/connunity, etc. Project done as a last resort if consistent with CMF purposes Lindow: CMF has evolved into serving not only members, but broader society; nobler purpose CMF needs to grow from structural to process/program purposes Criteria for critical mass and special project acceptance needs to be developed. After the Retreat members re-qrouped, Ms. Aqard further questioned the members regarding comments, and suggested that reactions varied as follows: Board sees CMr as developing criteria to decide programslfUDds to be established; feels there is pressure to give to the AIDS Fund; prefers CMFs' role not to be that of fund-raiser. Several other comments were shared, including: Disolve Public Issues committee and for. Ad-hoc committees Time during board meeting should be set aside for issues discussion Develop file on collaborative, coordinated efforts Ms. Hooker requested staff draft collaboration guidelines which will be presented to the Ezecutive Committee. �-3- Principles & Practices of Grantmaking Mr . John ! , Marshall, III presented background information on issues relating to the principles and practices of qrantmaking, a copy of vbich is appended to the file copy of these minutes. Be reported that in 1984, the Council on Foundations adopted "Principles and Practices for Effective Grantmaking," which is subscribed to by ita members. During this sa.e period, CMF ' s Board of Trustees discussed developing a similar statement, however, the Board opposed its development becuase they did not want Principles an4 Practi ces to be a membership criteria. Instead, technical assistance materials were used to address each issue. Mr. Marshall noted that current thinking in general management is that values statements provide fundamental guidelines to organizations regarding behavior. The following questions were posed: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Should CMF establish a principles and practices statement for grantmakers? If so, what should it include? What would be the reaction of the membership? If adopted, should such a policy be used as criteria for membership? Are there alternatives to a formal policy statement to achieve the same objectives? Mr. Leonard Smith noted that the Skillman Foundation is a member of cor, but it does not siqn their P&P statement as a condition of membership. Be noted tha~ the Skillman Foundation believes a P&P statement is important, but that every foundation should establish their own set of guidelines. Mr. Smith suggested several alternatives to requiring members to sign an established policy and procedures statement, includioq: develop a model set of good practices and urge members to establish their own based on CMF's criteria produce a working document, introduced perhaps as a "Model of Good Practice" create the climate for discussion, but leave the process to each foundation present as a point of education Several other comments were shared: CMF should develop a list of issues which foundation boards should address (points to ponder) request from membership· their ideas add Committee with broad base participation to assist in development develop session at Annual Conference as point of education to assi st members in discussion announce at Annual Conference that CMF will develop guidelines with their assistance Promote as "Model Set of Good Practices" Present different methodologies to discuss issues ( Ms. Agard noted that the majority of retreat participants believe a Princi ples and Practices statement should NOT be used as a criteria for membership. It was agreed that CMF would investigate the merit of establishi ng Principles and Practices . Staff will present a plan to the Executive Committee whereby each CMF Com.ittee considers the value of CMF estalishing Principles and Practices. A CMF Board member will facilitate the �-4- effort to be announced at the Annual Conference. It vas agreed that any process should be from the bottom-up. After the committee's evaluation, the Board of Trustees will determine whether or not to establish Principles and Practices. Operations and Policy Deyelopment Mrs. Johnson presented information on CMFs' board operatioaa and policy development, a copy of which is appended to the file copy of these minutes. She noted that a number of Trustees have indicated they would like more time during Board meetings to discuss issues regarding policy, and asked that the Retreat members offer suqqestions as to how meetings could be structured. Specifically, question posed were: 1. 2. 3. Do you favor the way CMF currently conducts its board ... tings (frequency of meetings, distribution of materials, aqeDda organization)? Are there areas you would like to see changed or improved? What other operational policies does CMF need to develop at this time to operate effectively? Mrs. Johnson noted that CMF staff is identifying policy areas to be addressed regarding accountability, and shared that a aanual of established policies, as well as a list of policies under development, is being compiled. Suggestions included: policy and operations manual will strengthen the organization through staff/board changes if policy manual is developed, staff should produce, Ezecutive Committee approve, and Board ratify Board meeting held during Conference is rushed; February meeting lacks attendance allow l/2-hour during board meetings for new issues/conversation plan l/2-day Retreat every year consider changiug fiscal year to calendar year add additional meeting or have longer meeting schedule steamline committee reports needing approval bring in outside speaker occasionally for board meetiaqs Mrs. Hooker adjourned the meeting at 4:45 p.m. so that participants could prepare for evening activities. The Retreat resumed at 8:40 a . a. Friday, June 5 , 1992 . Membership Survey Summary Mrs. Dorothy Johnson shared summary information on the Membership Survey compiled by CMF, a copy of which is appended to the file copy of these minutes, noting that the full 24- page report which contains all comments shared by 70 members is available for review. Mrs. Johnson reviewed the survey questions and highlighted responses representing the majority opinion for each of the four questions presented. Strengths Mrs. Johnson reported that CMFs' strengths , as seen by Meabers are: member resources, staff, conferences and meetings, networking and �-5- communications, high 1tandard of quality and professionalism, legislative advocacy, visibility and promotion, committed members and the Board of Trustees. Additional Services Requests for additional services included: continuing education, development of technical support, encourag,..nt of collaborations/ partnerships, additional focus on smaller foundations, providing a clearinghouse for grant applications, and recommendations that services not be expanded. Specifically, Mrs. Johnson explained that some members have requested that .CMF provide consultation to grantees referred by members; more advanced programming be provided for seasoned grantmakers; service and materials be targareted for small foundations; increased technoloqy; and that corporate giving services and advocacy be continued. Ways in which CMF is addressing many of these issues were shared, as well as plans for the future. Several Retreat participants suggested that CMF facilitate field of interest forums on programming areas, and that "advanced level" educational programs be packaged so that smaller foundation personnel are not offended, perhaps marketed as "career-track" offerinqs or "affinity" qroups. Mr. Peter Thurber noted that CMF should determine whether individuals should be encouraged to establish a fund within a community foundation rather than create a small private foundation. Mrs. Johnson explained that it has been CMF's policy to offer options concerning the diverse ways individuals can give. CMF does not advise as to which option is best. New Opportunities Mrs. Johnson explained that comments regarding new opportunities were very diverse, with no trends or common themes. She highliqhted several comments shared: -continuation of payout discussion -develop philanthropy in minority communities -programs for strengthening boards -establish affinity groups, such as Michigan Momens Philanthropy Group Mrs. Johnson noted that CMF has been providing staff assistance to affinity groups, such as the Detroit Area Granbaakers. Responding to a question regarding diversity of staff and leadership, Mrs. Johnson noted that this issue is followed by the CMF Nominating Committee. She highlighted several minorities serving on CMF committees and indicated two minorities have served on the CMF staff in the past. \ Mrs. Johnson noted that a response to the membership questionnaire will be provided, and several Retreat members shared their thoughts regarding the format, ranging from a general article in the Michigan Scene to individual letters. Mr. Smith noted that many of the .embers responses were made in the context of evaluating "qrantmakers" rather than "an association." Ms. Noland suggested that a report be distributed which focuses on the membership survey being used as a tool in CMF's effort to increase the understanding and awareness of philanthropy. �-6- Ms. Frey asked about doinq a strategic plan with an outside consultant and noted that strateqic plana do not necessarily mean new, but can mean a reaffirmation of CMF qoala. The qeneral concensus of the Retreat aembers vas that a third-party consultant not be retained at this time to perfo~ a plan. In closinq the Retreat activities, Mrs. Johnson presented backqround and current information on CMF. She noted that CMF vas founded in 1973 and incorporated in 1975, and reported CMF's •ission as enhancinq, improvinq and increasinq philanthropy in the State of Michiqan. The five purposes of CMF were identified. A breakdown of membership by type was presented, and she shared that CMF has 24 trustees, 23 co.mlttees, 350 volunteers and 12 staff.

Carson, Chairman Principles & Practices Committee Progress Report Leonard Smith appointed Emmett D. Carson, Chairman of the Principles and Practices undertaking. He will provide the leadership for the initiative working with the Executive Committee. The following proposed plan was approved by the Executive Committee September 28, 1992, Background At the June, 1992 Board meeting, the Trustees determined that the organization would undertake consideration of whether or not to establish CMF Principles & Practices (P&P) for Effec tive Grantmaki ng. The following facts were agreed upon: Evaluation of the question would take place during a one-year period (November, 1992-November, 1993). ( The issue would be raised by the Board, but would be discussed by the membership as part of every CMF committee meeting during the next year, before the Board determined whether or not to institute P&P. P&P would not be considered a membership criteria for joining CMF. A P&P Committee would not be established, but a board member would be asked to chair the initiative and use the Executive Committee as needed. Proposed Plan It is proposed that the issue be part of every CMF Committee agenda. The Council on Foundations' P&P for Effective Grantmaking will be circulated along with a statement about why CMF is undertaking this project and with the following questions: 1. What do we mean by Principles and Practices? 2. Do you believe CMF should institute P&P for Effective Grantmaking? 3. Would P&P be helpful to you? 4. Do you believe P&P would be helpful to others? �5. Do you agree with COF•s P&P statement? Should CMF adopt COF statement as is, not at all, or with additions and/or deletions? 6. If adopted, how best can CMF be useful to you ia implementing P&P? 7. What other relevant issues do you wish the Board of Trustees to consider? CMF is undertaking the effort in order to provide guidelines and suggested practices for individuals establishing foundatioas, as well as for those individuals currently serving as foundation trustees who seek guidance. There is also interest in having CMF have at its disposal a list of practices, standards and values to share with the public, the media, the legislature and regulatory bodies on request. In addition, the membership will be queried in individual letters, the "Memo to Members" and The Michigan Scene. Staff will consolidate all responses, and the Committee Chair will present a report to the Executive Committee fo r a recommendation to the Board. Proposed Calendar September 28 - Executive Committee consider/approve plan ( October 1 - Plan reviewed by Emmett Carson and Dorothy A. Johnson October 6 & 8 - Issue addressed on trial basis by CMF Committees November 4 - Plan presented to Board November 5 - Issue presented to CMF Members November - Members receive letter indicating Board action on membership survey. Copies of two CMF papers (Key Indicators & Accomplishments) would be included along with description of P&P process December/January - Addressed by Detroit Area Grantaakers January 19 - Executive Committee receives progress report January-June - Committee meeting discussions Follow-up with individuals "Memo to Members" The Michigan Scene �June 10-11 - Board receives report and determines suitability of adopting CMF P&P and/or delays decision until fall November 5 - Membership receives report at Annual Members meeting as part of 21st Annual Conference Implementation plans will be developed if it looks like P&P will be adopted. Part of any plan might be the inclusion of a relevant conference sessions at the 21st Conference. Activity to Date The issue has been presented at two CMF committee meetings with the following observations: - Consider changing name from P&P for Effective Grantmaking to P&P for Responsible Grantmaking . - Don't adopt P&P, simply send it to Members and ask them to consider; support with te~hnical assistance in each area. - Consider phrasing P&P in a question format. - CMF Board might want to go through a process to establish their own P&P, values or ethics statement. - Add additional items . Additional committees will be meeting in the next few months , and will consider the issue. A progress report will be presented at each Board meeting.
