Progress Report
The Future Planning Committee has met twice (June 22, 1993 and September 3,
1993) since the last Board of Trustees meeting. The following information
summarizes activity to date . The February, 1994 Board of Trustees meeting
will include a major report from the Committee with a presentation from Alice
Buhl, consultant to the process. Also note that 1,000 copies of a members
survey were mailed October 28, 1993.
Critical Issues
1.
What is our mission and focus and how can we be clear about our
priorities?
2.
How can CMF provide services to an increasingly diverse set of members?
(Members have diverse program interests, individuals have a variety of
backgrounds and changing needs, o rganizations differ in their size, type
and capacity.)
3.
What is our role in promoting public understanding of the positive value
of giving?
4.
What should be the balance between our core services and our public role?
5.
How can CMF help its members learn from each other about good practices?
6.
What are the important diversity issues for CMF - diversity of members,
of staff, of board - and how might CMF deal with them?
7.
Should CMF take positions on social issues (as opposed to 1
philanthropic)?
(Need to clarify what we mean by social issues . )
8.
What will be the overall financing plan for the future? What should be
the relationship of member dues to core services? What should be the
role and what will be the potential impact of special project funds?
9.
How can CMF interact appropriately with allies and competitors such as
Council on Foundations, Independent Sector, and affinity groups?
10.
What is the CMF role in collaborative activities, including grantmaking?
11.
Is CMF positioned to reach out beyond current membership types and does
it want to?

COUNCIL OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW OF THE BUDGET
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 1995
The budget for fiscal year 1995 is presented in a new fC?rmat. The budget presents the
combined operations of the Council ofMichigan Foundations, that is, the combination of
what has been referred to as "core" services in the past and the community foundation
services which have been largely funded by grants from the W.K. Kellogg and Charles
Stewart Mort Foundations. The rationale for this format is to represent the costs of all
services being provided by the Council ofMichigan Foundations regardless of the source
of support. This change was requested by the Executive Committee.
In addition to presenting the budget for total general operations, the budgets for the two
supporting organizations: Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP)
and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) are shown to provide a concise picture of the
anticipated activities ofCMF. Behind the budget summary for CMF as a whole is an
analysis of the components which make up the total operating budget.
Following the two financial schedules is narrative which explains how each budget figure
was derived. The narrative also includes an estimate, for each line item, ofthe anticipated
fiscal 1994 outcome for comparative purposes. .
The total operating budget which follows is a balanced budget with the fund balance being
maintained. The Executive Committee has reviewed and approved the budget.
We hope that this new format will help make the budget review process easier and more
meaningful for you.

COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
GENERAL OPERATING BUDGET NOTES
1994/95 RECOMMENDATIONS
REVENUES
Membership Contributions
1994
$356,800
1995
$363,900
Membership contributions are expected to increase with growth in membership.
Fiscal 1995 will be the fifth year in which membership dues have remained at the
same fee schedule. Fiscal 1995 is projected to increase at a level consistent with the
five-year projection.
Additional Contributions
1994
$312,700
1995
$381,575
Total additional membership contributions included in the general operating budget
are anticipated to be $381,575. This amount is made up of:
Contributions from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles Stewart
Matt Foundation as many of CMF's program activities are part of each
foundation's programmatic interests.
$125,000
An aggressive goal of additional contributions anticipated to be raised from
other members. The general operating budget for fiscal1995 includes the costs
of supporting the corporate initiative program and consequently additional
contributions are expected to be raised as a reflection of the success of this
initiative. Projects will not be undertaken in fiscal1995 unless funding is
secured.
$72,575
Additional contributions from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to fund the
community foundation project. The 1995 general operating budget includes the
fourth payment on the five-year $2 million WKKF Youth Project Grant for
project management and technical assistance. This figure is reduced by
$166,000 allocated to the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project
(MCFYP) supporting organization for project management and technical
assistance. (See budget notes for MCFYP.)
$84,000
Additional contributions from the Charles Stewart Matt Foundation to fund the
community foundation project. (This completes the full multi-year year grant
of$350,000.)
$100,000
COREREV.DOC
�25
Annual Conference
$191,099
$148,500
Revenue for the annual conference represents estimated registrations for the 22nd annual
conference in Dearborn, Michigan with no registration fee increase. Fiscal 1994 includes an
education award ($22,000) from the community foundation budget for community foundation
members attending the Annual Conference. The estimated award for 1995 is $20,000.
Host Committee
$40,000
$25,000
This figure represents estimated contributions from local area businesses and foundations to
support host events and activities.
1994
$25,300
Small Conferences
1995
$36,750
We anticipate achieving relatively the same small conference revenues in fiscal year 1995 as
we expect in fiscal 1994.
Small conference revenues in general operations consist of:
Detroit Area Grantmakers
Spring Schools
Grantmaker to Grantseeker
Grand Rapids Donors' Forum
Members Meetings
In addition, small conference revenues generated from
include:
General Education
Accounting
Grants Classification
New Directors' Workshop
Executive Directors' Retreat
Four Regional Discussions
community foundation activities
Development Directors' Workshop
Program Directors' Workshop
Staff Support Workshop
Regional Development Training
If workshops are not held, corresponding expenses will not be incurred. Fee income
does not cover expenses. Each workshop is subsidized by other funding.
1994
$11,800
Directory Sales
1995
$35,000
Fiscal 1995 is the first year of a two-year cycle in which the Directory is completely
reproduced. The 1995 projection assumes that approximately the same number of directories
will be sold as were sold in 1993 . No price increase is contemplated.
As the Council continues to expand its services and offerings to its members, it becomes more
difficult to maintain a balanced budget. Beginning in fiscal 1995, the Council will begin asking
its members for voluntary contributions toward the cost of producing the Directory. It is
hoped that members will be willing to contribute toward the cost of this valuable product and
help the Council to remain fiscally sound.

�2(
1994
$5,000
Publications
1995
$12,500
We expect to have publication sales ofthe following materials in fiscal 1995 :
Scholarship Manual
Family Foundations Publication
Establishing a Charitable Foundation
Sales of community foundation materials
Sales of address labels
Sales of tapes and other library materials
1994
$12,000
Investment Income
1995
$22,000
The 1994 figure was based upon an average expected rate of3.5%. The rate of return on our
current investments has been averaging 2.8%. Through revision of our investment strategies,
we expect we can achieve at least 3.5% return on our operating funds in fiscal 1995.
Management Services Revenue
$10,000
$210,000
The staff of the Council of Michigan Foundations provide support services to the two
supporting organizations which were formed in fiscall994 (Michigan AIDS Fund and the
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project). Salaries, benefits and other operating
expenses which will be paid by the supporting organizations under management services
contracts are estimated to be $204,000 for the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth
Project and $6,000 for the Michigan AIDS Fund.

�27
EXPENSES
1994
$508,685
Salaries and Benefits
1995
$600,440
Budgeted salaries, benefits and FICA for fiscal 1995 for the entire staff of CMF are expected
to increase approximately $91,000. The increase is attributable to the following items:
The budget for 1995 includes the salary for the half-time Financial Director to support
general operations ($26,000) which was previously included in professional services.
The Financial Director will spend another quarter-time supporting the Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP), assisting in the management of the
community foundation computer grant and loan project, the cost of which is included
in the MCFYP budget.
The community foundation salary and benefit figure will be lower than anticipated for
1994 due to the departure ofProgram Associate, Jim McHale. His position was not
filled for three months producing budget savings. The budget for 1995 includes two
new full-time community foundation staff Additional salary support for the Youth
Project Coordinator is included in the funding for MCFYP.
The recommended budget figure estimates current salary increases based on studies of
market area, COF, RAG and CMF member organizations. Individual increases will be
determined by management. The President's compensation will be determined by the
Executive Committee.
The Council anticipates that benefits will increase at least 5 - 10% in fiscal1995 with
rising costs and additional staff. CMF provides healthcare coverage for eight
employees, an 8% annuity contribution for all full-time staff, as well as long-term
disability benefits. In addition, FICA has been estimated to increase commensurate
with salary increases.
An allocation of staff salaries and benefits to MCFYP will occur to reflect the staff
resources required to manage the WKKF Youth Project and the community
foundation Computer Project. These projects involve the staff time of six employees
ofCMF.
$21,260
Occupancy
$21,960
Occupancy expense consists of monthly office space maintenance and cleaning and monthly
off-site storage fees. We also lease space in our building for five of our staff people. A
modest increase has been budgeted.
5
�28
$22,800
Telephone
$26,375
The fiscal1995 budget includes a substantial increase over 1994. Telephone usage has been
increasing with additional services but studies performed by independent service vendors at
our request have helped us to contain this area of cost. We anticipate increased
communication activity in the management of the Youth Challenge grants as well as the
administration of the Computer Project grant and loan activity. As such, an allocation of costs
will be made to MCFYP.
Telephone expense will increase over 1994 with th~ addition of electronic mail to our
members as well as with the addition of another staff person -- the Youth Director. This
increase will also cover mobile phone expense for four employees who travel extensively as a
part of their responsibilities and use the phones to return messages and deliver timely answers,
even when they are away from the office as well as providing a safety measure.
Equipment Lease and Maintenance
$9,500
Fiscal 1995 costs are expected to include:
Computer hardware
Computer software
Other office equipment
$18,000
$9,000
6,000
3,000
With the recent acquisition of new computer equipment and its essential role in our day-to-day
operations, it is imperative that we maintain adequate maintenance on critical hardware
components. In addition, we expect that software support maintenance fees will be 20% to
30% of our initial software cost. We also have maintenance costs on other office equipment
such as our telephone system which will be replaced during fiscal1995. During fiscall994
we eliminated maintenance from some of our computer (word processing) equipment in
anticipation of the arrival of new equipment which distorts the comparison ofyearly data
somewhat.
Mailing and Postage
$33,200
$35,700
Mailings are a significant service provided to members and potential members. We anticipate
the volume of mailings will be approximately unchanged; however, in light of recent reports
that postal rates will be increasing, we have budgeted a 7.5% increase for fiscal1995 to cover
any possible rise in postal rates or volume of materials mailed. We continue to look for ways
to keep our mailing costs down.
6
�29
Supplies
$35,500
$40,800
Supply costs include normal office supplies required such as paper, letterhead, labels, file
folders, etc. Supplies will increase with the additional community foundation staffing and the
work which is occurring in the Upper Peninsula to increase the development of community
foundations. We do not anticipate a significant increase of supply costs in other areas, other
than customary vendor increases, as we are moving to a more "paperless" office as time goes
on. Electronic mail will shortly be available to us eliminating the need for paper messages
both inside and outside of the office.
Insurance
$8,300
$11,600
Insurance expense for fiscal1994 is comprised of:
Property and Casualty coverage ($1,362)
General Liability Umbrella ($800)
Directors' and Officers' Liability coverage ($3,150)
Workers' Compensation insurance ($648).
We anticipate a 5% increase in this area.
Additional insurance expense for community foundation activities of approximately $5,000
has been allocated to MCFYP to provide for:
MCFYP Director and Officer Liability insurance is a new expense
required due to the formation of a new governing board for MCFYP
Liability insurance for the Youth Summer Camp (rider to CMF's policy)
NPO Solutions (computer software vendor for the community foundations computer
project) Key-man Life insurance on principals of the company
Furniture and Equipment
$6,900
$1,000
Minor expenditures are required as the year goes on for small office equipment replacement,
filing cabinets, etc.
Computer
$3,500
$1,500
Costs in this area include incidental computer needs such as rented equipment and emergency
parts. With the addition of new equipment we expect incidental purchases to decrease. See
capital expenditures budget for information on future computer equipment needs.

1994
$3,750
Association Dues
1995

Miscellaneous and Temporarv Help
$10,200
$11,575
The Council utilizes temporary help services during certain peak times during the year
when large mailings are being produced or special projects can be isolated and performed
efficiently by temporary help. The Council was hoping to be able to add an additional staff
person, but budget constraints appear to prohibit such a move for fiscal1995 .
Books and Subscriptions
$8,500
$6,675
One of the most important resources CMF provides is its collection of reference materials in
the library. We now have a professional librarian on the staff who maintains our collection
and adds important pieces into it. The community foundation projects provide a substantial
acquisition budget to maintain current material for our members. Fiscal 1994 is expected to
exceed the budget due to the enhancements which have been made this year. However,

despite the tremendous amount of material available, we are going to reduce our level of
expenditure in fiscall995.

The primary reason for the increased expense in fiscal 1995 is due to the reproduction of The
Michigan Foundation Directory. The advent of desk-top publishing helps CMF produce short and
less formal works in-house. Costs are simply for paper and minor assembly products.

Professional Services
We expect to require the following general professional services in 1995:
Audit fees
Legal fees
Corporate consultants
1995
$255,725
$8,000
9,000
13,725
The Corporate Initiative Project will be incorporated into the core program in fiscal1995. As
a result, professional consultation will be utilized to support this activity rather than special
project employment.
In addition, specialized consulting will be required in the following areas:
Technical Assistance:
Legal
Planned Giving
Evaluation ofYouth Project
Librarian and Intern
CMF Computer Support
Tax Credit Renewal
Computer Training
Accounting Assistance

$4,000
Staff Training
$4,000
Development of our staff is a continuous important process. The staff is committed to
improving skills in areas of their work and the Council supports these carefully planned and
approved activities. Certain staff are enrolled in university programs for journalism, for
example, to assist with the many publications we handle internally. Other staff attend
seminars in communication skills, management skills and employee benefits to name a few.

�33
1994
$57,500
Meetings and Travel
1995
$65,000
As a state-wide association, meetings and travel by CMF staff and officers are an integral part
of our service to members. Additional staff and increasing activities in philanthropy have
resulted in an upward trend in costs of approximately 10% for the last several years.
The addition of two new staff members who will be traveling extensively to promote the
development of community foundations and youth activities will increase our travel budget
substantially. A detailed breakdown of the community foundation estimates follows :
Staff: Jill Mason (covered by computer grant)
$8,550
Todd Jacobs- covered by WKKF and Mott .
8,550
Kathy Agard - covered by WKKF and Mott
10,400
George Tomasi- Upper Peninsula Project covered by WKKF 2,500
3,000
COF Conference at $1,000 each (3 staff)
Other National Conferences (for example, theNational Youth
Leadership Council) at $1,000 each
5,000
Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Trustees
Volunteers
5,000
Meetings
Community Foundation Committees (Tax Credit,
Youth Leadership, Users Group, Marketing and
Development, Services, Computers and Research)
4,000
The remaining CMF staff expect to incur normal travel expenses in 1995 carrying out the
responsibilities of their assigned areas. We estimate the cost at $18,000. A portion of
meeting and travel cost will be allocated to the supporting organizations through signed
Administrative Services agreements.
$5,300
Trustee and Committee Meetings
$6,500
The Council ofMichigan Foundations has 17 committees within its structure which meet
periodically throughout the year. Activity among the committee changes and grows each
year. We anticipate that expense in this area will continue an upward trend. The Council
attempts to contain costs of meetings as much as possible by holding meetings at member
foundation sights and at central locations to those involved.

CAPITALEXPENDTIITrnESBUDGET
FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 1995
Two capital expenditure requests were presented to the Executive Committee for approval:
Telephone System
The Council has reached the maximum capacity of its telephone system. The existing system was
purchased in September of 1985 (9 1/2 years ago) and is fully depreciated. We cannot add any
further telephone lines or telephones to our existing system. We are limited by the present system
since it cannot be expanded, nor can we add voice mail capabilities to it.
Printers
The Council's internal computer project is progressing well. Training for the entire staff on the
internal office software (MicroSoft Office) was completed in February. The RAG Initiative is
currently negotiating purchase price with the database software vendor and further training will
occur within the next several months. The more actively involved the staff becomes with our new
technology, the higher the demand for printers becomes. We know that efficiency would increase
significantly with the addition of two printers. We have 14 computer users at the Council.
Funding
Due to budgetary constraints presented previously, the Council would be unable to fund these
expenditures without utilizing amounts which have accumulated in our operating fund balance.
The Executive Committee approved the purchase of a new telephone system for $10,000 or less,
and printers for $5,000 or less through the use of fund balance.

From:

Re:
22nd Annual Conference
Program Committee:
The first meeting of the 22nd Annual CMF Conference Program Committee was held on
Monday, January 31 , 1994.
Conference Date:
November 2-4, 1994
Location:
Hyatt Regency, Dearborn
Honorary Chairman:
Max M. Fisher, President
Max M. & Margorie Fisher Fdn., Inc.
(to be confirmed)
Conference Chair:
Valera Washington, Vice President
W.K. Kellogg Foundation
Host Committee Chair:
Leo J. Brennan, Jr. , Executive Director
Ford Motor Company Fund
Barbara VanDusen, Trustee, CFSEM
The Program Committee enthusiastically endorsed "Magic of Community" as the 22nd Annual
CMF Conference theme. This being a topic of intense timeliness around the world, the
committee felt if they could create a vision and make the conferees feel a part of a "community"
they would be challenging themselves as grantmakers, improving their skills while bringing new
ideas to the "community" as a whole.
Many excellent speakers have been suggested and a formal invitation has been extended to Dave
Thomas, Founder, Wendy' s. At the request of our Committee we are looking at a different
format. Four program areas are being developed with subcommittee chairs meeting with their
individual groups to develop session statements which will be submitted for review by the entire
Program Committee at the March 28th meeting. Liz Sullivan has volunteered to be the dean of
the 22nd Annual Conference and will help to finalize structure and sessions with the
�52
subcommittee chairs. The four areas being explored are What is it to be a civil person?, Children
and Families, Rural neighborhood communities, and Collaboration.
Technical sessions such as investment seminar, corporate giving sessions, etc. are being
developed by program committee members. A list of the 22nd Annual CMF Conference
Program Committee is attached.
The Host Committee is meeting on Tuesday, March 15, 1994 to begin making plans for CMF' s
revisit to Detroit. More details to follow in June!

�COlJr~CIL
OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS
MANAGEMENT REPORT
This management report has been prepared in the customary format. We recognize the Board's desire for a revised format including
period budget comparisons. We expect to present a revised reporting format which will most likely coincide with the implementation of
new membership and financial software. We are working concurrently with three other RAGs in the software selection process. As we
currently identify management reporting needs and report formats, we will incorporate these needs into the development of reports that
are responsive to your needs.
Revenues
This financial report covers nine months (75%) of our fiscal year. We have recognized 95% of our budgeted revenues through
December of this year. Pledged membership contributions of$35,000 are yet outstanding and contributions of$89,000 have been
received since December 31, 1993. Host Committee contributions of another $20,000 are expected during our last quarter which, in
total, will allow us to achieve our budget target. Community Foundation Special Projects reflect $28,000 more revenue than was
budgeted. This is primarily due to the $30,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to increase the development of foundations in
the Upper Peninsula ofMichigan. Corporate Initiative fund raising is beginning as we work toward incorporating the Corporate
Initiative into the general operating fund . Interest, totaling$ 30,000, has been expressed in supporting this program.
Expenses
Overall, 61% of total budgeted expenditures have occurred though 75% of the year has passed. Expenditures are difficult to compare
between years due to the timing of grant payouts made to community foundations and Michigan AIDS Fund grant recipients. While
total expenditures have increased $470,000 over this same time last year, grants to community foundations have increased
approximately $100,000 over this same period last year and Michigan AIDS Fund grants have increased approximately $270,000 over
the same period totaling a $370,000 increase in total expenditures solely due to grant payout timing. The remaining $100,000 increase
is due primarily to new projects such as the computer hardware and software project which has been undertaken.
In the future, the two grantmaking supporting organizations: Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) and the
Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) will be presented separately. This will improve the comparability of the financial information.

�Expenses-- Continued :
In this nine-month view of our financial position as of December 31 , 1993, there are several expense categories which require
explanation in order to assist in the evaluation of the financial statements.
•
The 21st Annual Conference had the most participants ever in the history of this event. The revenues generated from this event are
expected to exceed our budget expectation by approximately $82,000. Similarly, expenses are expected to exceed budget by
approximately $45,000. This was especially true in the areas of telephone costs, mailing and postage expenses and temporary
help needed to accommodate the larger than expected registrants and materials.
•
Publications and Printing are above our annual budget at this time. One of the primary reasons for this is, again, the additional
cost of publications and printing due to the larger than expected registration for the Annual Conference. The newspaper clipping
service which has become very popular with our members will cost approximately $2,000 more than anticipated due to the
extensive number of clippings we are receiving. In addition, the Family Foundation books, which were a new publication this year,
were very successful and cost approximately $2,000 more than we originally anticipated.
•
Professional Services include costs which relate to the new supporting organizations: the Michigan Community Foundations'
Youth Project and the Michigan AIDS Fund. These costs will be transferred to the supporting organizations quarterly, the first of
which will occur March 31, 1994.
•
Staff Training was not budgeted separately this year. Amounts for staff training have been included in meetings and travel in the
past. Accountability is improved by breaking this amount out. Future budgets will include such a p,rovision.
•
Hotel Costs do not yet reflect the annual conference expense in full.
•
Community Foundation Small Conferences consist of the annual youth conference, mini-grants to community foundations,
workshop training and scholarships to community foundations to attend the CMF Annual Conference. The W.K. Kellogg
Foundation grant provides funding for the youth conference (in addition to the registration fees from the participants). TheW. K.
Kellogg and C.S. Mott Foundations provide funding for the mini-grants and annual scholarships to the CMF conference. This
support is included in "Additional Contributions" in the financial statements. The workshop training expenses are generally covered
by registrants' fees. The annual youth meeting exceeded projected expense by $13,000 and active mini-grant and scholarship
programs exceeded expectations by $12,000. Offsetting these budget overages, workshop training costs were $8,000 under budget.
In summary, management foresees no unusual problems or circumstances.

From:
Government Relations Committee
Laura A. Davis
for Ranny Riecker, Chair
Re:
Committee Report
CMF Visits Capitol Hill
Eight CMF Members including six CMF Board Members, called on the Michigan
Congressional Delegation, Wednesday, February 1, 1994
Laura A. Davis, W.K . Kellogg Foundation
Stephen T. Economy, Ameritech
Dennis H. Marvin, Consumers Power Company
Donald R. Parfet, Upjohn Company Foundation
Ranny Riecker, Harry A. & Margaret D.Foundation, Herbert H.
and Dow Foundation
Leonard W. Smith, The Skillman Foundation
Maureen H. Smyth, Charles Stewart Matt Foundation
Dorothy A. Johnson, Council of Michigan Foundations
The purpose of the visits was to request co-sponsorship ofH.R. 2418, update the
Congressman on foundation and corporate giving in their area, follow-up on last year' s calls,
and reinforce the value of philanthropy in Michigan. We met with 11 Congressmen and aids
to seven other Congressmen.
We obtained the following co-sponsorships for H.R. 2418, the bill which would eliminate the
sunset on gifts of publicly-traded stock to private foundations . The sunset is scheduled to
take effect December 31, 1994:
Congressman James Barcia
Congressman David Camp
Congressman John Conyers, Jr.
Congressman V emon Ehlers
Congressman Dale Kildee
Congressman Joseph Knollenberg
Congressman Nick Smith
Congressman Fred Upton
�49
Congressman David Camp (R-Midland) and House Ways & Means Committee member, has
agreed to be the principal Republican co-sponsor, along with Congressman Andy Jacobs, (DIN).
Coincidentally, the University of Michigan Washington D.C. Alumni Club was sponsoring
their traditional "Congressional Breakfast," the same day we were in Washington, D.C. At the
invitation of Stephen Economy, Ameritech, we joined the alumni for the early breakfast.
Ranny Riecker was introduced as leading the CMF delegation, Senator Donald W. Riegle, Jr.
was the legislator at our table, and we were seated next to the end table including the speaker,
Congressman Fred Upton, Governor John Engler and University officers. It turned out to be a
bit of serendipity, which was very helpful.
Twelve other regional associations also made calls February 1, thanks to the leadership of the
Council on Foundations and RAG Regional Initiative. As you know, CMF has been
encouraging this activity for many years . The Committee on Regional Associations has voted
to make this an annual event to be sponsored with COF.
H.R. 2418
Currently there are 25 cosponsors, including 8 from Michigan. We will continue to work with
our Members to contact their Congressmen. A companion Senate bill should be introduced
shortly.
Communitv Foundation Tax Credit Renewal
The community foundation tax was renewed by the state for 1993 . We will not know if it is
useable for 1994 until June 1, per state statue. It is time to commence discussion with the
Department of Treasury and key legislators on the possibilities of tax incentives for non-profits
or continuing the community foundation tax credit for 1995 and after. This action is consistent
with the CMF Legislative Goal Statement. CMF continues to work with the Michigan
Nonprofit Forum to encourage a tax deduction for gifts to charitable entities.
The Community Foundation Committee on Tax Credit & Resources, chaired by John E.
Hopkins and the Community Foundation Committee, chaired by Mariam Noland, have voted to
proceed to investigate the possibilities. Meetings are being held with key constituents and
United Way representatives. David Haynes, Public Affairs Associates, has been retained to
advise in the process.

Progress Report
In June 1993 the Board commenced a future planning effort. The Committee has met four
times since that date, conducted telephone interviews with Members, surveyed the
membership and looked at other regional associations and organizations.
At the March 1, 1994 meeting the project consultant, Alice C. Buhl, will be present to lead a
discussion with the Board on our progress, and the results of the member survey (summary
attached). A copy ofthe actual survey is included for your reference. A major section of the
report will be a discussion ofCMF ' s mission statement and purposes.
The Future Planning Committee will be presenting its report to the Board at the Board' s June
9/ 10, 1994 meeting. Following the Board' s approval, regional meetings ofCMF Members
will be held to report on the plan and to gain ownership and excitement.

INTRODUCTION
I.
Background
In October, 1993, the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) prepared and sent
1062 questionnaires to members -- donors, trustees, and staff of member
organizations -- attempting to solicit responses about the services provided by CMF,
members' views of current services, and their hopes for future services.
The Greystone Group, Inc. was asked to receive the questionnaires, computerize
responses, and analyze the data. This report is the result of that effort.
Of the 1062 questionnaires sent out, Greystone received 325 responses. The
following data and analysis is based on the 325 questionnaires which were returned,
filled in completely or in part. In answer to many questions, the total number of
respondents does not add up to 325. That is because many respondents skipped
some questions or some parts of the survey.
A complete survey questionnaire is shown in Appendix A.
IT.
Respondents
The respondents were asked to identify their organization by type, current asset level
or grant dollars budgeted, scope of grantmaking, and the capacity of the person
completing the questionnaire.
The types of respondents are shown· in this chart:

Community Foundations
Family Foundations

and more who find it moderately important. 42% choose critically important; 45%
choose moderately important; 23 respondents find it "not very important."
Promote Purpose E -- To infonn the public of the important and irreplaceable
contributions of Michigan grantmaking institutions to the state and to the larger
society-- shows still fewer who think it critically important. 40% find it critically
important; 45% find it moderately so. This purpose has the greatest number of
respondents who think it "not very important" -- 39 or 12%.
The charts below show the frequency of responses and the percentages for each of
the five purposes.

Respondents are also asked to identify whether CMF should "expand," "keep at
about the same level," or "cut back" each purpose. Again, the "no opinion" option
is offered as well.
For each purpose, close to half or more than half of the respondents believe CMF
should "keep this purpose at about the same level."
For Network, 179 respondents choose this option. For Legislate, 205; for Increase,
171; for Educate, 186; for Promote, 160. (Half of all respondents is 167.)
Those who think any one of these purposes should be expanded range from 73
respondents (22 %) who think Legislate should be expanded to 109 respondents
(34%) who think Network should be expanded.

Respondents are asked which of the purposes should have priority in CMF's work.
150 respondents say Network -- To provide the means for regular exchange of
ideas, experiences, information and experlise among Michigan grantmakers -should be first priority. 64 respondents say Legislate -- To represent Michigan
grantmakers' interests and concerns with the officials of local, state and national
government -- should be first priority.

Part Two - Services to Members
In Part Two of the survey, 12 CMF programs are listed. Each respondent is asked
to indicate:
A.
B.
C.
A.
How often they use that service ("often," "occasionally," "seldom,"
or "never"),
What their experience with that service has been ("outstanding,"
"good," "satisfactory," "poor"),
Their opinion about the desired level of activity for that service
("expand," "keep about the same," "cut back," or "no opinion").
Use of Services
To better understand the responses in this section, it is helpful to divide them
into those for which more than half of all respondents say they use the
service often or occasionally and those for which fewer than half of all
respondents report using the ·service often or occasionally. In addition we
will note four services for which high numbers rep()rt never using the
service.
Of 325 respondents, 163 constitutes more than half. Five services are used
"often" or "occasionally" by more than half of the respondents:
Annual Conference
Memo to Members
Michigan Foundation Directory
Michigan Scene
Information Resource from CMF Staff
257
226
219
217
170
Another two services are so reported by slightly fewer than half the
respondents:
Legislative information and advocacy
Technical assistance from CMF staff
I
6
155
144
�62
Another three services are used "often" or "occasionally" by about 30% of
the respondents:
Cooperative grantmaking projects
Regional grantmaker meetings
How-to publications
106
99
93
Four services are reported as "never" being used by substantial numbers of
respondents (38% or more):
Regional grantmaker meetings
Cooperative grantmaking projects
Special issue workshops
Spring school
124- 38%
139-43%
167-51%
196- 60%
The Annual Conference stands out from all other services in reported usage.
It has the highest frequency count for the combination of "often" and
"occasional" usage and it has far and away the highest number of respondents
reporting that they use it "often" -- 192. (The next highest frequency for
"often" is 109 for Michigan Memo.)
A complete chart of response frequencies for all categories is shown in
Appendix B, Chart 1.
B.
Experience with Services
Respondents are asked to indicate what their experience has been with each
of the 12 listed services. Their choices are "outstanding," "good,"
"satisfactory," or "poor."
Very few respondents (no more than 8) indicate that their experience with
any service is "poor."
The highest number of respondents reporting "outstanding" or "good"
experiences is 266 (82%) for the Annual Conference. If one reduces the base
by those who say they "never" use the Annual Conference (28 respondents),
the percentage of "outstanding" or "good" responses moves to an impressive
90%.
If one reduces the base of respondents by the number who say they "never"
use a given service, almost all services show that two-thirds or more of those
who use the service indicate that their experience is "outstanding," or
"good."
I
7
�63
Using this calculation, two services top 80% of users who describe them as
"outstanding" or "good":
Information resource from CMF office,
Technical assistance from CMF staff.
Again, using this calculation, three services show rates of "outstanding" or
"good" responses below 60%:
Special issue workshops
Spring school
How-to publications
59%
57%
37%
A complete chart of response frequencies for respondents' experiences with
all services is shown in Appendix C, Chart 1.
C.
Level of Activity
Respondents are asked to rate each of the 12 CMF services listed as to
whether the organization should "expand" that activity, "keep it at about the
same level," or "cut back" this activity.
Overwhelmingly, respondents want to "keep this at about the same level," for
10 of the 12 program services.
In two services, the respondents who have "no opinion" outnumber those
who wish to keep the existing level of activity:
Spring school and
Special issue workshops.
In no case did the number calling for expansion or cut backs exceed (or even
come close to) the number choosing "keep at about the same level." A
complete chart of response frequencies for levels of activity is shown in
Appendix D, Chart 1.
D.
Five Organizational Issues
In Part Two of the survey, a list of statements about CMF.is given and
respondents are asked to respond by choosing a degree to which they agree or
disagree with that statement. Their response choices are "strongly agree,"
"agree," "disagree," and "no opinion."
I

�The following chart shows the frequency of responses for each item:
Organizational Issues
I consider myself well-informed
about CMF and its activities.
CMF provides appropriate levels
of service to all its member
groups.
I believe that my organization
gets fair value for its CMF dues,
either directly or indirectly
through leadership in the
_philanthropic field.
CMF leadership in committees
and on the Board reflects the
diversity of its membership.
I would suggest to a grantmaker

Only two statements garner enough disagreement to be of any concern, and
in both cases those who disagree are small minorities of respondents:
"I consider myself well-informed about CMF and its activities." 59
respondents ( 18%) disagree with that statement.
"CMF leadership in committees and on the Board reflects the diversity of its
membership." 41 respondents (12%) disagree with that statement.

Part Three- Possibilities for the Future
In Part Three of the survey, respondents are asked to think about CMF's future. In
the summer of 1993 CMF did telephone interviews to identify ideas for CMF's
future. Eleven of those ideas are listed in the survey and respondents are asked to
agree or disagree with the idea and to say whether "In the future, CMF should
expand this area, keep this area about the same, or cut back in this area." The "no
opinion" option is also offered.
If these 11 ideas are listed in order, according to the number of respondents who
choose "strongly agree" or "agree," we get the following listing:
A.
C.
B.
K.
H.
E.
J.
I.
D.

(291) Provide opportunities for cooperation among grantmakers.
(288) Promote public policy issues directly related to philanthropy and
grantmaking.
(284) Increase philanthropy by working with donors to create family
foundations, community foundations or corporate giving programs.
(274) Provide leadership in the Michigan nonprofit community.
(272) Provide special services for groups of members (i.e. small
foundations, corporations, community foundations).
(262) Reaffirm members as CMF's primary client.
(254) Be a proactive leadership organization, making things happen.
(253) Provide services for groups of members who share similar
grantmaking interests.
(242) Promote public policy issues of interest to grantmakers, such as
education, health, social services.
(209) Sponsor collaborative funding projects.
(198) Provide a computer network for interested members to receive
information and communicate with each other.
If we order these ideas by numbers of people who want to expand this activity, we
get this listing:

(68*) Reaffirm members as CMF's primary client.
One should perhaps note here that it might difficult for respondents to know
what it would mean to "expand" the activity of "reaffrrm[ing] members as
CMF' s primary client."
Notice that in both listings, A. H. and B. are in the top five and D. and G. are in the
bottom four. Other items are very volatile.
In an additional section of Part Three, respondents are asked to list the "three
reasons that you think are most compelling to you or your organization for
continuing its membership."
In analyzing the responses given as the first reason for membership we discover the
following categories: (Note that the number of responses does not equal nearly 325.
Many people did not flll in this section of the questionnaire, and some responses are
too general to be categorized.)
Networking -- 53 responses
Resources and Information -- 44
Philanthropy, Legislative and Public Policy -- 37
Cooperation/Collaboration-- 21
Technical Assistance-- 19
Annual Conference -- 17
Member Services -- 14
Foundation Development -- 11
Education/Training -- 11
Strength of Staff and Board -- 11
General Leadership and Support -- 8
Other-- 6
Publications -- 5
Computer Network -- 3
Many responses are difficult to categorize; networking, leadership, and resources,
particularly, often overlap. "Member Services" shown above was used to categorize
responses for which a specific member service (such as education/training) could not
be determined.
A complete list of responses (for number 1, as well as for numbers 2 and 3 is shown
in Appendix E.

Part Four -
Or~anization
and Individual Information
Part Four of the questionnaire asks for the infonnation used in the Introduction, Part
II, of this report. Each respondent is identified by type of organization, size of
assets and/or budgeted grantmaking dollars, and capacity or position of the
respondent (e.g. , trustee or staff).
This infonnation was used to develop frequency counts of respondents' answers by
type of organization, size of organization, and capacity of respondent. The results
of those cross tabulations are presented in V, VI, VII and VITI below.
The fmal page of the survey questionnaire has several lines marked "Comments." A
complete list of those comments is provided in Appendix F.

Memo to :
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
From:
Dorothy A. Johnson
Re:
President's Report
At the last Board meeting, the issue of how CMF is responding to diversity in terms of
board membership, staff and programming was raised by two trustees. Since then the
CMF Membership Survey has been completed, and it is apparent that the membership has
questions. In an opinion section, they responded as follows to the following statement:
Strongly Agree
41
CMF leadership in committees and
on the Board reflects the diversity of
its membership.
Agree
163
Disagree
41
CMF Board Member, Emmett Carson, has asked that the issue of diversity be addressed
by the Board at the March 1, 1994 meeting. Talking with Emmett last Friday, I suggested
that the discussion begin at this winter meeting, but perhaps be expanded at the June
10/ 11 , 1994 meeting when more time will be available for a thorough discussion.
The following data is presented by way of background. It is not complete, nor is it meant
to say any one action justifies current practice. Diversity can be viewed from many
perspectives -- race, gender, age, political orientation, religious preference, sexual
preference, etc. For the sake of this report, I am reporting on race, gender and age where
possible. Part of the board discussion will need to be a defmition of what characteristics
are to be included as we consider the issues of diversity and CMF.
Diversitv of Membership
FACTS
Race
-Two CMF Member foundations/corporations have been created
by minorities.
-Several CMF Members have minority board and
staff members.
-CMF is working to assist the Native American
Foundation which will become a Member when it reaches its
minimum grantmaking requirement.
�69
-At least two Afro-American funds are within community
foundations.
Gender - Approximately two-thirds of Member organizations are headed
(Chairman or CEO) by males
Age- Few Chairman/CEO's under 35
Increasing membership on boards under 40
Majority of members over 50
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
-Encourage minorites and women to create foundations/corporate giving
programs/community foundation funds.
-Encourage members to use COF material on creating minority funds in
community foundations .
-Solicit support of Gordy Foundation and Barden Cablevision principals
to work with their peers to encourage philanthropy.
-Work with minorities currently affiliated with CMF as board members
and staff to encourage them and their peers to contribute.
Board Membership
FACTS
Race - 25 Member board includes three minorities
Gender - 16 males
9 females
Age- 40 ' s- 10
50' s- 9
60' s- 6
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
-Continue to solicit suggestions from CMF Members, using trustees as
well as staff as a pool of talent
Officers
FACTS
Race - Six officers all Caucasian
Gender - Three officers female, three officers male
Age- 40's- 2
50's- 3
60's- 1
�70
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
-Encourage pool of minority and young trustees to be expanded in order
that their interest and commitment to CMF in becoming an officer may
be explored.
Diversity of CMF Staff
FACTS
Race - Current professional staff of 10 caucasians
Part-time financial director was a male minority but quit to pursue
a full-time position elsewhere.
Support staff of 4 caucasians. Temporary help currently includes
two female minorities.
Gender - 13 females, one male
Age- 20's-3
30's- 3
40's- 4
50's- 4
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
-A reality is that there is very little tum-over in CMF staff. When
there is, CMF does extensive advertising throughout the state.
The pool of candidates for the job/relocation/compensation has
been very small. Management continues to be alert to the issue
and when possible, uses minority consultants for special
assignments.
-Possibility ofutilizing internships to extend CMF staff resources
and to introduce various minority groups to the broad field of
philanthropy.
Diversity of Programming
FACTS
-Selection of Annual Conference Committee has always
included minority members, gender balance and age representation where
possible.
-Every Annual Conference has dealt with minority issues.
-No Honorary Chair/s has ever been a minority.
-First Annual Conference minority Chairman in 1994.
�71
-CMF adopted and continues to promote COF Principals & Practices
which includes diversity issues.
-Every conference speakers panel attempts to balance age, gender and
race.
-Community foundation youth committees reflect the racial diversity of
the state of Michigan almost exactly. Still a predominance of young
women.
-Youth Conference in Midland was headed by an Afro-American female
and diverse resource staff.
-Several community foundations have youth on their Boards, and
CMF/MCFYP has two youth board members.
-Ford Foundation minority project initiated at Community Foundation
for Southeastern Michigan.
-Examples of specialized programming are the Black Church Seminar
to be held February 23, 1994 co-sponsored with COF, and the Michigan
Women & Philanthropy Committee staffed by CMF.
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
-CMF programs have been diverse. How do we bring this diversity
awareness to our Members ie. merits of minority Board members and
staff, gender balance.
-Issue needs thoughtful discussion. Do restricted funds build or splinter
community? Should minority donors be recognized as general donors, or
should they be classified separately based on age, gender or race?
This is a working document...food for thought and discussion. I look forward to pursuing
this dialogue at the March and June meetings.

Re:
Community Foundation Committee Report
The Community Foundation Committee has not had a reason to meet since the last Board
of Trustees meeting. There are, however, many projects underway. These are listed
briefly for your infonnation. If you have questions or would like a further reporting,
please feel free to call.
Michi~an
Community Foundations' Youth PrQject (MCFYP)
The new supporting foundation met in May and approved 15 challenge grants, 6 venture
computer grants, $112,063+ loans, and 13 affiliation grants. The remainder of the $35
million challenge has now been forwarded to MCFYP and is invested. There are
currently 7 community foundations which have completed the full $1 million challenge.
30 community foundations are actively raising challenge funds. The project remains on
target.
Computer Project
Five of the seven original venture foundations are operational on the new community
foundation software. The last two will be installed by July. Thirteen other community
foundation members were approved for grants in May and will be installed over the
summer and into early fall. Members report satisfaction with the software.
Tax Credit
The tri-annual renewal of the Michigan Tax Credit for community foundations is
underway. The bills amending the Michigan Single Business Tax and Michigan Personal
Income Tax have been approved by the Senate (34-0) and passed out of the House
Taxation Committee (unanimously). The bills now go to the House floor. It is unclear if
they can be acted upon before the summer recess. They may come back to the floor of
the House in September.

�Great Lakes Protection Fund
Discussions continue regarding a multi-state and Canadian, community foundation effort
to work on the water quality of the Great Lakes through a joint venture program of the 69
community foundations serving the basin. A draft strategy will be coming to the
Community Foundation Committee in late July or early August.
Trainin~
Training opportunities continue with a successful, first ever community foundation TriState Conference sponsored by the Ohio, Indiana and Michigan Regional Associations.
Over 200 trustees and staff attended. A five session Leadership Academy is underway
for new staff and trustees.
Camp for our youth philanthropists is scheduled for August 21-24 at camp Miniwanca at
Stoney Lake, Michigan. We expect 200-300 young people to participate. Summer oneday regional discussion sessions are scheduled for late summer. Fall regional trainings
on development are scheduled along with fall regional youth conferences. Sessions or
CMF's annual meeting are under development.
There are new Executive Director's in Midland, Bay Area, Gratiot, Buchanan and
Fremont. The Fremont Area Foundation is undergoing wonderful major change with the
cash sale of the Gerber Company to a Swiss pharmaceutical company. The Foundation
will grow from $60 million to over $110 million in assets after the sale is completed in
the next few months.
Upper Peninsula
A meeting is scheduled for June 20th of representatives from each of the upper peninsula
counties. This meeting is the result of a nine month effort by CMF to gauge interest in
community foundation development.

Columnist, Washington Post will address the Emerging Issues of Community Development;
Session two:Theodore R. Sizer*, Director, Annenberg National Institute for School Reform

Independent Foundations, Community Foundations and Investments
• Special interest sessions include program officers roundtable, legal issues facing
foundations, grants classification, experts-in-residence session and scholarship roundtable.
The Detroit Host Committee has done a great job of putting together four tours that compliment
the theme of the conference. They continue to work on the Thursday evening event scheduled
for the Henry Ford Museum. Special highlights include guest appearances by people from our
past, spot performances by magicians, and a fmale by a well-known illusionist. The evening is
guaranteed to be entertaining, mystifying and magical.

Memo to:
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
From:
Dorothy A Johnson
Re:
CMF and Diversity
At a recent Board meeting, the issue ofhow CMF is responding to diversity in terms of
board membership, staff and programming was raised by two trustees. Since then the
CMF Membership Survey has been complete, and it is apparent that the membership has
questions. In an opinion section, they responded as follows to the following statement:
Strongly Agree
CMF leadership in communities
and on the Board reflects the
diversity of its membership.
41
Disagree
163
41
CMF Board Members, Twink Frey, Emmett Carson, Leonard Smith, Jim Richmond and I
met in early May to discuss how CMF deals with diversity issues intemally and externally.
The following data is presented by way ofbackground on how CMF is responding to
diversity issues. It .is not complete, nor is it meant to say any one action justifies current
practice. Diversity can be viewed from many perspectives - race, gender, age, political
orientation, religious preference, sexual preference, etc. For the sake of this report, I am
reporting on race, gender and age where possible. Part of the board discussion will need
to be a definition of what characteristics are to be included as we consider the issues of
diversity and CMF. This information is shared as background for the discussion at the
June 9/10, 1994 board meeting.
Diversity of Membership
FACTS
Race
Two CMF Member foundations/corporations have been
created by minorities.
Several CMF Members have minority board and staff
members.
CMF is working to assist the Native American Foundation
which will become a Member when it reaches its minimum
grantmaking requirement.
At least two Afro-American funds are within community
foundations.
.I : II :I
�Gender
Approximately two~thirds of Member organi2ations are
headed (Chairman or CEO) by males.
Age
Few Chairman/CEO's under 35.
Increasing membership on boards under 40.
Majority of members over 50.
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
•
Encourage minorities and women to create foundations/corporate giving
programslcoJDJDimity foundation funds.
•
Encourage members to use COF material on creating minority funds in community
foundations.
•
Solicit support of Gordy Foundation and Barden Cablevision principals to work with
their peers to encourage philanthropy.
•
Work with minorities currently afiiliated with CMF as board members and staff to
encourage them and their peers to contn"bute.
Board Membership
FACTS
Race ~ 25 Member board includes three minorities
Gender ~ 16 males
9 females
Age~ 40's~ 10
50's~
9
60's 6
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
•
Continue to solicit suggestions from CMF Members, using trustees as well as staff as a
poll of talent.
Officers
FACTS
Race ~ Six officers, all Caucasian
Gender ~ Three officers female, three officers male
Age~ 40's~ 2
60's~ 1
II
i1
�SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
•
Encourage pool of minority and young trustees to be expanded in order that their
interest and commitment to CMF in becoming an officer may be explored.
Diversity of CMF Staff
FACTS
Race - Current professional staff of l 0 female Caucasians
Support staff of 3 Caucasians, one minority
Gender - 13 females, three males
Age- 20's- 3
30's- 3
40's- 5
SO's- 3
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
•
A reality is that there is very little tum-over in CMF staff When there is, CMF does
extensive advertising throughout the state. The pool of candidates for the
job/relocation/compensation has been very small. Management continues to be alert to
the issue and when possible, uses minority consultants for special assignments.
•
Possibility of utilizing internships to extend CMF staff resources and to introduce
various minority groups to the broad field of philanthropy.
Diversity of Programming
FACTS
Selection of Annual Conference Committee has always
included minority members, gender balance and age representation where
posst"ble.
Every Annual Conference has dealt \Vith minority issues. Johnetta Cole, President,
Spellman College, will address the 22nd Annual CMF Conference
No Honorary Chair/s has ever been a minority.
First Annual Conference minority Chairman in 1994.
CMF provided leadership for creation ofMichigan AIDS Fund.
CMF counsels minority donors. Recently African-American football player established
fund in comnnmity foundation.
ill~
Ill
�CMF adopted and continues to promote COF Principals & Practices which includes
diversity issues.
Every conference speakers panel attempts to balance age, gender and race.
Community foundation youth committees reflect the racial diversity of the state of
Michigan almost exactly. Still a predominance of young women.
Youth Conference in Midland was headed by an Afro-American female and diverse
resource staff
Several community foundations have youth on their boards, and CMF/MCFYP has
two youth board members.
Ford Foundation minority project initiated at Community Foundation for Southeastern
Michigan.
Examples of specialized programming are the Black Church Seminar held February 23,
1994 co-sponsored with COF and the Michigan Women & Philanthropy Committee
staffed by CMF.
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGE
•
CMF programs have been diverse. How do we bring this diversity awareness to our
Members ie. merits of minority Board members and staff: gender balance. The
Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has offered to assist with any training costs.
•
Issues need thoughtful discussion. Do restricted funds build or splinter community?
Should minority donors be recognized as general donors, or should they be classified
separately based on age, gender or race?
This is a working document ... food for thought and discussion. I look forward to
pursuing this dialogue at the Board meeting.

Re:
Family Foundation Committee Report
The Family Foundation Committee met on Tuesday, May 10, 1994 to review program
accomplishments, plan future program priorities and give input to the annual conference family
foundation sessions. There was general consensus that the current direction of the publication of
two informational manuals and two topical newsletters per year, offering technical assistance
through individualized consultations and informational mailings, coordination of specialized annual
conference sessions for family foundation members, continuation of membership recruitment
activities, and participation in legislative educational activities on relevant issues, should be
continued.
New areas of interest for the program which emerged included the publication of a brochure on
CMF family foundaiton services, offering regional meetings of family foundation members to
discuss topics of interest and identify needs, and the development of a consultant resource bank.
Topics of future publication will include a manual of sample documents used by family
foundations, and a document raising the awareness of the characteristics of family foundations.
Future newsletter topics and/or skills training sessions may include the means of strengthening
grant recipients through sharing and learning from positive and negative experiences (evaluation),
and administrative applications of computer technologies.
Family foundation sessions to be offered at the 22nd annual conference will cover finance,
administrative, and programmatic issues. "The Prudent Man Thoery of Investing" will discuss the
revised legal interpretations of fiduciary duty and their implications regarding portfolio asset
allocation. "Tending To Business" will offer six administrative skills stations facilitated by
experienced moderators for participants to visit for hands-on training experiences. And "The
Difference Family Foundations Can Make" will discuss what model programs with limited dollars
need to look like to succeed in the areas of two of the conference's mini-plenary topics (Economic
Development and Children & Families). Breakfast Roundtable discussion topics will cover "Perks
As Grantmakers", "Failure Lessons", "Initial Public Offerings", "Messaging Proposals", and
"Building Social Independence".
We felt the meeting was most productive and look forward to a second successful year of the
family foundation program.

�COUNCU.. OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS
MANAGEMENT REPORT
This management report has been prepared in the customary format. We recognize the Board's desire for a revised format including
period budget comparisons. We will be presenting a revised reporting format which will coincide with the implementation of new
membership and financial reporting software. We are working concurrently with three other RAGs in the membership software
development and implementation process.
Revenues
General operating revenue exceeded budget primarily due to the success of the annual conference in November of 1993. Attendance
increased over the previous year by 15%.
Community foundation revenue fell slightly short ofbudget due to lower than expected investment return. This resulted from market
conditions as well as the timing of receipt of supporting grant revenues within the fiscal year.
Most noteworthy is the revenue which was made available to the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) by the
W.K Kellogg Foundation. MCFYP is a new supporting organization formed to receive the remaining challenge grant funds for
Michigan community foundations from Kellogg and carry out the administration of this project on behalf of Kellogg. In addition, the
W.K Kellogg Foundation awarded MCFYP a grant to assist the community foundations in a statewide computer project. These funds
were received close to year-end. As of June 2, 1994, all grant funds relating to these two projects have been received by MCFYP.
The Michigan AIDS Fund was very successful in its fund raising for the year. Levels of funding and the base offunders continues to
expand as this unique statewide collaborative continues to develop.
Expenses
General operating expendit11res were maintained under closely monitored budgetary contro1. Specific line item variances occurred
primarily in categories which were impacted by the larger than expected annual conference attendance such as additional mailing costs,
temporary help required and publications and printing costs, hotel and speaker expenses. These overages were covered by the
additional registration revenue which resulted in net revenues over expenses of$22,668 for the annual conference.
�(
Community Foundation expenditures fell in line with budget overall. There were several line item variances from budget expectations
due to a successful annual youth conference which exceeded budget by $13,000 as well as active mini-grant and scholarship programs
which exceeded expectations by $12,000. These areas are funded with the support ofthe W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the C.S.Mott
Foundation. In addition:
•
Professional services varied from budget due to the timing of a large payment for evaluation services for the youth project which
was expected to be paid by year-end and was actually paid subsequent to year-end.
•
Both the volume of publications produced (cost) and sold (revenue) were lower than expected.
•
Finally, challenge grant awards under the Kellogg program exceeded budget by $49,000 due to the timing of community
foundations qualifYing for the matching grant funds.
The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) was funded at the end of the fiscal year. Expenditures relating to
the community foundation computer project of$171,000 had been made in anticipation ofthe receipt ofthis grant and are properly
reflected against the revenue received.
The Michigan AIDS Fund controlled operating expenses well falling $14,000 under budget. Grant awards were $540,000 compared
to $895,000 which was anticipated. This is a reflection of a timing difference only as the Michigan AIDS Fund approved approximately
$700,000 in grants this past May in its most recent grant-making cycle.
