SB 1113 passed the Senate 34- 0 after an April27, 1994 Senate Finance Committee Hearing. The House Taxation Committee passed the bill unanimously after a hearing May 25, 1994. Testifying at one or both of the hearings were Dick St. John, Kalamazoo Foundation; David Campbell, Community Foundation_for Southeastern Michigan; Rolly Dennison, Trustee, Mt. Pleasant Community Foundation; Peter Christ, Battle CreeR Community Foundation and Kathy Agard and Dottie Johnson from CMF. Public Affairs Associates, David Haynes, is assisting with this third effort. It is supported by contn"butions from community foundations and the CMF community foundation consultation budget. The House version of the bill removed the cap (proposed at $9 million in the Senate) and continued the sunset at three years. Ideally the bill will go to the full House before they adjourn for the summer or early in the fall. Judy Hooker, Russ Mawby and I have also assisted in the effort. NATIONAL LEGISLATION HR2418 Currently 33 Representatives have cosponsored this legislation, including ten Michigan Congressmen (Barcia, Camp, Collins, Conyers, Ehlers, Hoekstra, Kildee, Knollenberg, Smith and Upton). The bill would prevent the expiration of the ability of living donors to give publicly traded stock to private foundations and deduct the full value. s 1898 This counterpart bill to HR. 2418 was introduced by Michigan Senator, Donald W. Riegle, Jr. Senator Carl Levin has also cosponsored the legislation. CMF is working with COF to encourage additional cosponsors from other states.

Calvin Patterson III, Chairman Lucy R. Allen Heidi L. Gilmore Callen Robert S. Collier Jeri L. Fischer Barbara J. Getz Glenn F. Kossick Sharron R. Krieger Karen E. Lake Judy Y. Samelson Re: Information Systems Committee Report Tab 12 The Michiian Foundation Directory Sales of the 8th edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory stand at 2,202 with revenue of $60,872 to date. The 8th edition "Update" was issued in January 1994. The 9th edition will be released in October of 1994 with research well underway. New information will be included that features "types of support" if a foundation has a special focus, and expanded "Survey" data. A subcommittee of the Information Systems Committee met last November to discuss expanding the categorization of grants from six to twenty-six categories, utilizing the Grants Classification System which is employed by the Foundation Center. The subcommittee endorsed this new method of classifying grants, in order to have Michigan data compatible and comparable with national data. Initially foundations have been asked to categorize their grants in either the 26 major field of interest categories or a collapsed field of 10 basic divisions. Staff has met with the Michigan League for Human Services, who presently handle the sales and distribution of the Directory, with the intention of bringing all Directory services in house. The dialogue continues with the expectation that the Michiian Foundation Directory, beginning with the 9th edition, will entirely be a Council of Michigan Foundations' project. �The Michigan Scene More than 5,000 foundations, corporations, nonprofits, and state and government officials receive quarterly issues of the Michigan Scene. Special reports are issued twice a year on various topics such as the Michigan Foundation Directo~ data and the annual Michigan Fundraising Campaign Report. There has been a noticable increase in the number of foundations and corporations sharing news with staff for inclusion in the Michigan Scene. Video Donor History Project Five donor video histories have been completed: the Binda, Gerstacker, Lowe, Miller and Towsley Foundations. Robert E. Heney, Executive-in-Residence to CMF for Communications, will be developing a plan to promote, market and disseminate the donor histories to PBS stations, educational institutions, etc. Clipping Service The "Clipping Service" continues to be well-received with over 4,000 clippings sent to 222 Members this past year. Scholarship Manual Sales of the second edition of Establishing and Administering a Scholarship Program are excellent \\lith 69 books sold to-date. Purchasers range from coast to coast - California to Vermont. Book-Buying Service To date, 5 Members have used the book-buying service to purchase books at a 10% discount from the Foundation Center, Jossey-Bass and AAFRC for Giving USA. The service is promoted through "Memo to Members," and books are purchased when orders are received from Members.

The McGregor Fund graciously made space available on a temporary basis for CMF. We are now working to find other contn"buted space on a permanent basis from a Member, similar to the current arrangement at the CMF office in Grand Haven. CMF has been working on two services, the ideas for which came from a group of interested Members. Jeri Fischer, CMF Staff Associate, has provided the leadership for the following two services which are in development: Common Application Form: Last year, the Board directed staff to investigate developing a common application form for Members as a possible means of streamlining and simplifYing the paperwork involved in a grant request. Currently this is being done by a number of RAGS across the country. Those using the form and the number of grantmakers participating are: Delaware Valley Grantmakers New York Regional Association of Grantmakers Rochester Grantmakers Forum Washington DC Regional Association ofGrantmakers Pacific Northwest Grantmakers Forum 28 46 30 34 20 Generally these forms offer: -an introduction with instructions on the development, length and format of the proposal; -a one-page summary sheet and budget form; - a description of materials needed to support the proposal; -a list of fimders who are participating in the use of a common grant application form A committee of ll CMF volunteers will be meeting in June to work on developing such a form for CMF Members to use ifthey so desire. Contact Jeri Fischer of the CMF Staff with questions or comments. �Internship Program: The Internship Program is a new seiVice available to CMF Members beginning this September. It will provide graduate students with exposure to the role of philanthropy in the nonprofit sector through paid internships with Michigan foundations. Participating foundations receive an opportunity to have the full-time assistance of an eager and talented student for the six-month duration of the Internship Program They can take on special projects that staff do not have time to accomplish; they can expand the service capacity by conducting research, responding to inquiries, attending meetings, writing reports, conducting needs assessments; and they can provide a fresh perspective to work issues. The program is based on several model internship and fellowship programs operating successfully at other foundations. Members who have "signed on" are the Kellogg and Kresge Foundations and the Community Fowidation for Southeastern Michigan. Leadership has been provided by Elizabeth Sullivan of The Kresge Foundation. Other RAGs C.MF continues to work with The Regional Initiative and developing countries. Recently Kathy Agard and I advised five South Africans on how to establish a regional association and how to develop community foundations. Four CMF staff members, (Judy Car~ Jeri Fischer, Sandra Katt, and Anne Stoll), are able to take advantage of The Regional Initiative training July 9-11, 1994 in Washington, DC. C.MF received two scholarships and was able to take advantage oflow air fares to allow two other staff members to attend. I will represent C.MF at the summer COF RAG Workshop on leadership July 30- August 4, 1994. Committee Chairs A list of current committee chairs is attached.

Johnson Re: Treasurer's Report TAB 3 The Treasurer's Report contains several items for your approval: Requested Budget Adjustments Revised Budget Combined Balance Sheet Combined Statements of Activity Management Report Financial reports are presented for the three entities which comprise the Council of Michigan Foundations: General Operations of CMF Michigan Community Foundations Youth Project Michigan AIDS Fund New to the Treasurer's Report is a Combined Balance Sheet and Combined Statements of Activity which reflect the financial position of these three entities as well as the status of the endowment funds at September 30, 1994. After discussion with the President and the Financial Director, we would like to propose that a Finance Committee be formed, chaired by the Treasurer. The Treasurer would appoint three to five members to the Committee which would meet at least twice annually to review the financial activities of the Council of Michigan Foundations. We feel that the growth of the Council and the greater sophistication of financial matters warrants Committee attention. This would provide the Board of Trustees of the Council of Michigan Foundations with a Committee which would have a greater opportunity to perform a detailed review of financial information which would then be presented to the Board of Trustees in a condensed format by the Committee. �COUNCD... OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS REQUESTED BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS The fiscal1994-95 budget was approved at the March 1, 1994 meeting of the Board ofTrustees. Mter six months of experience, the following revisions to the budget are proposed. Michigan CARES Project The Council of Michigan Foundations has agreed to undertake the Michigan CARES project, an embellishment to the community foundations project, and has received a grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission to fund the project A budget amendment is requested for the Michigan CARES project which will increase additional contributions by $252,000 as well as provide for an expenditure line for the same amount Management Services Revenue Management services revenue was estimated to be $210,000 at the time the budget was presented for approval to the Board. Management services are defmed under contract between the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Supporting Organization and include salaries and benefits; occupancy costs; telephone, supplies and publication costs; contracted professional services; meetings and travel, etc. Subsequent to the approval of the budget by the CMF Board of Trustees, the MCFYP Board developed and approved a detailed budget reflecting the costs associated with the activities of the supporting organization, clarifying the services and expenditures which were to be supported by MCFYP grant revenues. As a result, a budget amendment increasing management services revenue for general operations and management services purchased for MCFYP to $574,413 is requested to reflect this more refmed estimate of the amount of costs carried by CMF which will be incurred as a result of administering the MCFYP activities. Salaries and Benefits - (Increase $20,000) The Council of Michigan Foundations initiated an internship program internally and hired a student from the Grand Valley State Minority Business Education Center who is completing studies in accounting and public administration. A budget amendment of $7,000 is requested for this activity. In addition, the Council has experienced staff overtime which was not originally contemplated in the budget projection for fiScal1995 due to higher than anticipated member services. A budget amendment of $13,000 is requested to cover the additional costs associated with staff services to members. Occupancy Costs- Gncrease $10,000) Provision for expenses resulting from the acquisition of additional office space was not included in the proposed budget at the time the budget was presented and approved due to the tentative nature of the contemplated transaction at that time. Additional costs for occupancy such as building maintenance, property taxes, etc. were not provided for in the budget, consequently a budget amendment of $10,000 is requested. Revised Budget A revised budget is presented on the following page. �COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS AND SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS REVISED BUDGET ASCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31,1995 Total Operating Budget '-------' REVENUES Membership Contributions Additional Contributions Annual Conference SmaD Conferences Directory Sales Pub6cations Investment Income Management Services TOTAL REVENUE EXPENDITURES Salaries and Benefits Occupancy Telephone Equipment Lease and Maintenance Mailing and Postage Supplies New Office Space Remodeling and Fumishings Costs Insurance Fumiture and Equipment Cof1"'4:'uter Association Dues Miscellaneous and Temporary Help Books and Subscriptions Publications and Printing Professional Services Staff Training Meetings and Travel Trustee and Committee Meetings Fund for the 90's 90's Increasing Philanthropy 90's Strategic Plan Other Annual Conference Costs Purchase of Directories for Merrbers Mini-Grant Consulting Youth Conferences Small Conferences Education Grants CMF Annual Meeting Grants Michigan CARES Expenditures Management Services Purchased EXPENDITURES SUBTOTAL Grants Youth Challenge Grants Computer Hardware/Software Grants Computer Support Grants Computer Loans Affiliation Mini-Grants Michigan AIDS Fund Grants TOTAL GRANTS TOTAL EXPENDITURES SUPPORT AND REVENUES OVER(UNDER) EXPENDITURES TRANSFERS BEGINNING RJND BAlANCE ENDING FUND BALANCE $363,900 510,388 173,500 36,750 35,000 12,500 22.000 574A13 1.728A51 MCFYP Budget $7 A02.563 $850.000 13250 1.500 2,500 585,000 6.000 8.000,313 857,500 650,753 31,960 26,375 18,000 35,700 40,800 20,000 11.600 1.000 1,500 5,700 11,575 6,675 110,700 255,725 4,000 65,000 6,500 Michian AIDS Fund Budget 2,800 3,500 5200 325,000 40,000 86,326 5,000 46200 12.000 13,000 10,000 111200 13.000 23,500 20,000 112,000 37,000 25,000 20.000 2,500 252,000 1.726263 574A13 1239,739 77200 8,750,000 864,000 185,000 378.000 54,000 0 10231.000 720.000 720.000 1.726263 11 A70.739 797200 (3A67A26) (335,000) 14,663269 60,300 (6.000) 843A25 2,188 341,000 706,727 $1,049,915 $10,860.843 $897.725 BUDSUM2 �COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNATIONS COMBINED BALANCE SHEET SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 General Operations ASSETS Cash and Cash Equivalents U.S. Treasury Securities Net Property and Equipment TOTAL ASSETS $691 ,953 Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Michigan AIDS Fund $7,202,462 10,667,109 $790,382 $8,684,797 $10,667,109 $225,556 $17,869 ,571 $790,382 $19 ,577,462 843,425 (53,043) 16,438,977 3,138,485 225,556 $917,509 Total LIABILITIES [Cash basis of accounting used for revenue and expenses recognition .] FUND BALANCES Beginning Fund Balances Net Change in Fund Balances 932,283 (14,774) 14,663,269 3,206,302 TOTAL FUND BALANCES=::::::::::$9=1=7,=50=9= $17,869,571 ENDOWMENT FUNDS William W .

This reporting format is consistent with external reporting requirements. The budget amendments requested previously have been reflected in the financial report The following comments are based upon an analysis of detailed fmancial results. Balance Sheet This is a new financial report which is presented to inform you of the fmancial position of the Council of Michigan Foundations, Supporting Organizations and Endowment Funds as of September 30, 1994. Cash equivalents refer to the Woodward Money Market Funds that we maintain until cash is required to issue checks. Note that the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project has invested in U.S. Treasury securities designed to provide maximum investment security while yielding higher rates of return than money market funds. The securities are designed to mature at intervals in which grant payouts will be required. The William W. Allen Endowment Fund supports legislative efforts. The Russell G. Maw by Endowment Fund was established very recently to honor Dr. Mawby's contributions to philanthropy. The fund has grown substantially since September 30, 1994. Statements of Activitv and Changes in Fund Balances Revenues In general, revenues are in line with management's expectations. Timing differences in cash receipts between years provide the primary reason for variances. October was an especially strong month with receipts totaling $182,800 for the first three weeks of the month of which $77,000 represented annual conference registrations. Membership pledges of approximately $100,000 are currently outstanding. �---------- Revenue received by MCFYP includes the grant revenue for the MCFYP projects expected in fiscal 1995. Invesnnent income is strong and should provide higher yield in the last six months of the year due to the recent invesnnent of funds in U.S. Treasury securities. Fund raising for the Michigan AIDS Fund is strong and the trustees fully expect to meet this budget goal as the base of funders continues to expand. Expenditures General operating expenditures are being closely monitored. The following comments pertain to significant expenditure areas. The purchase of additional office space was made through the use of general operating fund balance. It should be noted that the invesnnent income generated by the challenge grant funds advanced to MCFYP is being used to replenish the fund balance, as was W.K. Kellogg Foundation's intent when it advanced the funds to MCFYP. As of September 30, 1994, the fund balance has been repaid $223,000. Remodeling and furnishing costs are estimated to total $70,000 which will be funded by various sources: specific provisions of the grants received by the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Supporting Organization ($40,000), by fund balance for the telephone system which was approved as part of the capital expenditures budget in March, 1994 ($10,000), and by a membership contribution which has been approved ($20,000). The MCFYP and MAF expenditures and grants are generally in line with expectations and have been reviewed by the Supporting Organization Committee of the CMF Board of Trustees. This Committee will be giving us a report during this Board meeting. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Date: October 25, 1994 Memo to: Board ofTrustees From: Mariam C. Noland, Chair Re: Community Foundation Committee Report W.K Kellogg Foundation Technical Assistance and Youth Challenge Grant ill The Committee discussed the progress of the current challenge grant and the status of the field. In Apri11995, the community foundation technical assistance program will begin its final year. This year was budgeted, in the grant, as a closing year in case the project was not successful. In order to continue the technical assistance to community foundations and to support the community foundation staffing, a third grant will be needed which would run from April I, 1995 - March 31, 2000. The committee discussed the parameters of this third grant request. The grant has been drafted and a summary has been reviewed by the MCFYP Board of Trustees who have approved, through a mail ballot, the submission of the proposal. Any funds received would go to MCFYP as a continuation of the current technical assistance and challenge grant program. The request has three parts: I. $5 million to continue technical assistance for 5 years. This figure includes substantial direct financial support to community foundation members through mini-grants, scholarships, and training subsidies, 2. $4.5 million in extended challenge grant dollars to assure that the newest community foundations will have the opportunity to participate in the youth project challenge, and 3. $5 million in incentive grants which will be provided at the end of the project to encourage languishing and/or very small community foundation to develop relationships which will assure some minimum economies of scale and organizational viability. If the last two funds totaling $10 million are received in the first year and are not spent until the ending years of the project, approximately $300,000 per year will be generated from the interest on the endowed earnings of the $10 million. The $10 million will be awarded to members and the endowment earnings will continue to support community foundation programmmg. ! iljs/Cl\dFILtrsl994/BdRpt �''On Common Ground" Project For over a year the community foundation members have been discussing a joint venture project in the area of environmental grantmaking, in particular working toward solutions to the problems and protecting the Great Lakes. In the winter of 1994, community foundations from throughout the Great Lakes Basin and the Canadians met at a Wingspread Conference to discuss environmental issues and the possibility of a joint venture. A Steering Committee of representatives from each of the states and the Canadian provinces has been meeting since winter and has reviewed several iterations of possible joint venture proposals. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation through the Great Lakes Protection Fund in Chicago have provided early leadership. Council of Michigan Foundations has offered to serve as the project fiduciary is desired by the organizations considering the collaboration. The reasons for CMF' s offer are: I. Council ofMichigan Foundations has experience in managing community foundation joint venture programs, 2. Council of Michigan Foundations is a neutral party among the community foundations involved, 3. The Michigan community foundations have this area as one of their priorities for Council of Michigan Foundations to take leadership, 4. More than l/2 of the community foundations involved in the joint venture are in Michigan, 5. More than l/2 of the watershed is affected directly by the State of Michigan, and 6. Four of the five Great Lakes directly touch Michigan. The Community Foundation Committee reviewed the draft proposals and recommends that Council ofMichigan Foundations assume leadership of the continuing planning for this collaborative effort and, when appropriate, accept responsibility for the management of the project. Appropriate administrative support will be requested in any funding proposal Other Community Foundation Activities I. The final regional discussion was held in Battle Creek. This was the last of three such informal discussions held over the summer, 2.

Hooker Re: Family Foundation Committee Report The Family Foundation Committee met at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 4, 1994 to review the project's progress. It was noted that: Regional Meetings • CMF member meetings- a geographic distn"bution study has been completed and that the highest concentration of family foundation members reside in the areas of: Wayne, Oakland, Washtenaw, Macomb counties= 42 foundations Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Muskegon counties = 29 foundations Midland, Saginaw, Clinton, Genesee, Tuscola, Shiawassee, Isabella counties = 20 foundations Kalamazoo, Ca1houn, St. Joesph, Cass, Berrien counties = 14 foundations and that therefore the areas ofBirmingb.am, Grand Rapids, Midland and Kalamazoo have been selected as sites for the regional meetings of CMF family foundation members. Committee members requested that these meetings be scheduled sometime in Ap~ before the 15th of the month. • Meetings of Advisors to the Wealthy- plans are being made to interview and convene groups of attorneys, accountants and bank trust officers to discuss how CMF might be able to be of assistance to them in better serving their clients' philanthropic interests. The project will first concentrate on the Kalamazoo area since the 1995 Annual Conference being held in KaJamazoo will offer an opportunity for follow-up exposure with this group. • Families ofWealth Meetings- for the same reason as noted above, a program for major community donors who are not CMF members is being planned for the Kalamazoo area. Committee members requested that this type of meeting also be planned for the Detroit area, as a follow-up to this year's conference, with the group of donors who are receiving complimentary invitations to the 1994 Annual Conference. It was felt that the Detroit area has the largest concentration of prospective members, and that we should not wait any longer to sponsor a program in this district. It was felt that this request could be honored. Publications • • i A Family Foundation Services Brochure - has been written and is being shared with prospective members. Two manuals, the Developmental Stages Manual, and the Sample Documents Manual- are being planned for publication this year. It is hoped that a draft of the Developmental Stages Manual, which builds upon a family foundation session at last year's Annual Conference, will be ready for review at this year's Annual Conference. �• • A second Family Fax Newsletter ~ will be published in December and will focus on programming criteria, a topic which will begin to be explored at this year's Annual Conference. The second Investment Performance Survey- has been conducted and -will be summarized in an insert in the upcoming newsletter. Annual Conference The 1994 Annual Conference sessions for family foundations were reviewed by the committee. It was noted that a special conference registration rate for first time attendees and families with more than six members attending was again being extended. Technical Assistance Staff continues to build a consultant resource bank, and fill several informational, consultation, and specialized training requests each month. Membership Recruitment • It was reported that an enthusiastic Detroit area members committee has been instrumental in assisting staff with developing a list of potential members and extending complimentary invitations to area families to attend the 1994 conference. Last year this initiative resulted in 18 new foundations attending the Grand Rapids conference, with 8 of those later becoming CMF members. • Staff also continues to assist individuals interested in organizing their giving into a formal foundation with advice and resources, new printed materials are being developed to facilitate this process. Legislative Action The issue of the :full value deductibility of publicly traded stock expiring on December 31, 1994 was raised and it was explained that extensive efforts have been made by CMF, COF and Independent Sector to extend these legislative provisions, but that such provisions would very likely need to be attached to some other tax bill and that it was unlikely that any tax legislation would be considered before the November election, which is really too late. It was noted that a temporary provision is currently being sought from the Senate Finance Committee to extend the expiration date to June 30, 1994. Committee members requested and were immediately sent information on how to contact their Michigan senators to encourage support for the PackwoodBoren Letter to Senator Moynihan, requesting Senate Finance Committee consideration. It has since been learned that both Senator Riegle and Senator Levin added their signatures to the Packwood-Boren Letter.

Since the future plan shapes a bolder, more active and opportunistic organization, a financing plan, equally bold was designed to secure the Council's future and support the activities members are requesting to help them meet their increasing challenges. The future plan covers the Council's core activities. In serving the members and philanthropy at large, the Council of Michigan Foundations has set goals to network, advocate, increase resources, educate, promote and catalyze. This provides the essential framework for the Council to follow and, as such, the financial considerations have been designed to support this framework. At the Future Planning meeting in June, we reviewed historical revenue and expense patterns to gain an understanding of our funding sources and resource consumption trends. This analysis was helpful to bring us to the next step of determining what services the Council should consider adding to its offerings and how the services might be funded . We noted that increased membership revenues would be required just to maintain the current service offerings of the Council. We also noted that dues will not have been increased for five years when the proposed dues structure is implemented in fiscal 1995-96. Plans for the future include the goals and strategies that the Future Planning Committee and the Board of Trustees have had the opportunity to review and challenge. These goals and strategies are organized into priorities to assist in a realistic projection of implementation time frame and the level of resources required to finance these services. The future service areas have been assigned a funding assumption. "C" for Core was assigned to those services which dues revenue was expected to finance. "SF' for Special Funding was assigned to future services which would require special funding from a source other than revenues. The areas requiring "Special Funding" have been further prioritized into services that the Council of Michigan Foundations would like to implement within the next two to three years (SFI), and those services which the Council would like to implement within four to five years from now (SF2). The summary of service offerings as presented in Tab 3 is the base upon which the financial plan is derived. This section is designed to explain the financial resources needed to implement the future plan. jslfuturepVcmtelist 30 �FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS A historical revenue and expense analysis and consideration of the current and projected economic environment resulted in the following planning assumptions: • Membership contributions will be structured fairly. • Special project funds will be solicited. • An attempt will be made to increase endowment funds on a timely basis. • Operating expenses will be closely monitored and controlled. PROPOSED PLAN The financial component of the future plan assumes the operating principle that the Council of Michigan Foundations, through its Board and President, will exercise careful financial management and revenue and expense forecasting. The plan recommends: • The Board adopt a policy of five year budget forecasting; and • Membership dues structure be analyzed by the Board every four years, at a minimum, for the purpose of considering a dues increase. The financial plan reflects the adoption of the future plan as representing the future core activities and services as well as potential specially funded projects. Accordingly, two budget projections for the next five years are presented along with the current 94-95 fiscal year budget for purposes of illustrating the effect of adding specially funded projects to the budget. The first projection on page 42 assumes that the Council will not engage in any special projects in the next five years. The second (and preferred) projection on page 47 includes the financial infonnation pertaining to specially funded projects. There are essentially five major sources of revenue that currently are supporting the Council's operating budget or have the potential to support the Council's operations: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Member contributions Operating contributions Conference and publication revenues Investment income Special Project Funding jslfuturepl/cmt.elist - - -- ---------------- 31 �l. Member Contributions Background The future plan states that grantmakers are our principal constituency and consequently should logically be the primary source of support. Dues revenues have historically been a major revenue source to the operating budget. Member dues history shows that in 1984, member dues accounted for 73% of the total core revenues of the Council of Michigan Foundations. By 1994, dues had dropped to 55% oftotal revenues creating a significant reliance upon other sources of funding for operating expenses. A major source of that funding came from members who consistently contributed more than their dues each year toward the general operating costs of the Council. The future planning process included a detailed analysis of other Regional Area Grantmaker (RAG) associations to determine what form of member dues structure was being used throughout the country. Focusing on RAGs most like ourselves in size and constituency, the exhibit page 33 was prepared entitled, RAG Contribution Comparison, which compares our current dues structure with four other RAGs. The Future Planning Committee and Board of Trustees noted that CMF members were generally paying less in membership dues than their counterparts who were members of their area's respective RAG. Recommendation In recognition of the fact that member dues are providing increasingly less support for the Council's member services, a proposed dues increase is planned to go into effect April 1, 1995 as portrayed in the chart entitled, Projected Dues Revenues Effective 1996 (page 34). It is anticipated that this dues structure will be adequate through fiscal year 2000, but that membership dues will be reviewed in four years to assess the adequacy of the support being derived from this source. In order to determine the potential impact upon our members, we prepared a comparison of certain members' proposed C:MF dues compared to the Donors Forum of Chicago and the Minnesota Council on Foundations. The chart entitled Proposed CMF Dues Compared to Other RAGs (page 35) is the third and final chart in the discussion of Member Contributions. The proposed member dues structure appears reasonable compared to other RAG dues. jslfuturepl!cmtelist 32 �) ) RAG Contribution Comparison Micbiran Scak fppwWip• Conaoratloo. or fdn.

Member Contributions (Continued) Implementation An April, 1995 effective date gives the Council time to communicate fully and responsibly about this increase, why it is necessary, and meet with members who may have some concern over this. It also gives the membership adequate time to plan and budget for the dues increase. Rationale The Future Planning Committee and the Board of Trustees have recognized that a membership dues increase is necessary just to maintain the current level of service to members. It has also been noted that dues have not been increased for five years. The proposed dues increase reduces the Council's reliance upon additional operating contributions from members. These additional operating contributions have comprised an increasing portion of the Council's revenues over the last ten years. 36 �l. Operating Contributions Background The Council of Michigan Foundations has historically relied upon operating contributions from certain members beyond annua1 dues. The budget for this fiscal year 1994-95 anticipates relying on such contributions to fund 24% of total core expenses. In fiscal year 1994, 44 members made contributions for operations including the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and Charles Stewart Mott Foundation for $100,000 and $20,000, respectively. In 1990, these two foundations asked the Council to make one additional grant request annually in these amounts. While there are no guarantees, these foundations have continued to make operating contributions in those amounts for the past four years. Recommendation The recommended membership dues structure reduces this source of funding to 9% in 1996 with gradual increases over the five year projected period to t4•fo by fiscal2000. This shows that although the Council still needs to rely upon operating contributions in addition to its members' dues, the reliance is significantly less than it has been in the past. By the year 2000, it is expected that membership dues will be reviewed for the purposes of proposing an increase to, once again, reduce the Council's reliance upon contributions in addition to membership dues. Implementation Implementation is largely a matter of sustaining the additional support the Council has received in the past and continuing to nurture these funding sources. Success does depend, however, upon the approval of the proposed membership dues increase. Rationale At this time in the development and evolution of the Council of Michigan Foundations, membership dues income needs to be supplemented with operating contributions to meet the current core costs. The membership dues structure which has been proposed places less reliance upon operating contributions as a source of funds and is desirable from that standpoint. This strategy also puts into place a plan for future years which will attempt to minimize the level of dependence upon operating contributions helping to fulfill a desire to move away from such dependence. 37 �3. Conference and Publication Revenues Background Conferences and publications have historically been strong service areas which the Council of Michigan Foundations has provided to its members. Although this is considered a significant revenue area there are, of course, directly related costs in providing these services such that costs and expenses are often balanced. The Council's annual conference, offered for the past 21 years, has grown significantly in quality and attendance. The registration fees generally have covered the costs of the conferences. Similarly, the Council offers a wide variety of publications and has an outstanding library of resource material available to our members. Though the Council charges for many publications, some are available as a benefit of membership with costs exceeding total revenues generated. Recommendation The future plan does not propose to change the revenue streams from conferences and publications which already exist. It is the Council's intent to continue to provide quality conferences and publications at reasonable costs. The future plan does include recommendations for expanding this area such as developing "institutes" on topical areas of grantmaking interest (SF2), developing a program for minority philanthropy (SFI), enhancing library usage (C), etc. These newly proposed service areas have been included in the financial projections at the end of this section. Implementation No implementation steps are necessary for existing conferences and publications. The recommended expansion of these areas within the future plan will, in some cases, require the acquisition of special funding in order to implement these proposed future strategies. Rationale This service area is currently functioning satisfactorily for our membership. The future service capacity of the Council of Michigan Foundations would be greatly enhanced by offering the proposed new services and would ultimately strengthen and improve our members' capabilities and effectiveness. jlll'uturq!L'antelist 38 �4. Investment Income Background Investment income has historically been a very small source of revenue for the Council (approximately one to two percent). The Council collects membership revenue throughout the year to cover its budgeted expenses. The Council does keep its funds in managed money market accounts until funds are needed to cover operating expenses. Recommendation The financial scenario at the end of this Tab projects the potential impact upon revenues of potential endowment earnings. For purposes of this projection, endowment earnings from the Allen Fund and the Mawby Fund to Increase and Improve Philanthropy are considered as funding sources for special projects and not a part of core services support. As such, the earnings potential is forecasted to portray the potential magnitude of this new source of funds. It is recommended that these endowment earnings be used to offset the special project funds needed to support the new service areas that the Council would like to offer to its members. Implementation Endowment earnings currently exist from the Allen Fund (approximately $2,500 annually). The creation of the Mawby Fund would produce a significant amount of revenue for the purpose of funding special projects to increase and improve philanthropy. Rationale The creation of a substantial endowment fund would help ensure that the Council of Michigan Foundations is able to provide services which extend beyond the expected member dues-supported activities. The addition of the Mawby Endowment Fund would fund new service areas which would work to increase and improve philanthropy. 39 ------ �S. Special Project Funding Background The Council of Michigan Foundations has been very fortunate in the past and present to receive funding for special projects. Special project funding has been provided for donor history videos, increasing philanthropy projects, "Establishing Update" project, future planning studies, etc. Most recently, theW. K. Kellogg Foundation provided funding to complete the exciting project of developing community foundations and youth advisory councils in Michigan, a project which has been managed by the Council since 1988. Recommendation A summary of the proposed activities which would require special funding is presented (page 41 ). This summary identifies each activity or service and includes estimated costs and timing. The Committee recommends that the proposed activities and service areas be approved and that special funding be sought to provide the financial resources necessary for implementation. Implementation Upon approval, management will begin to develop proposals for the purpose of securing special funding for projects identified as "SF1" or those which the Council would like to implement within the next one to three years. Following this, proposals to fund projects identified as "SF2" or those which the Council would like to see implemented in four to five years would be developed. Projects would not be undertaken without secured special funding. Rationale Special funding allows the Council of Michigan Foundations to provide services beyond the general core or member expectations, and to become involved in projects that could not otherwise be undertaken. These areas reach out boldly and aggressively to increase and improve philanthropy for the public good. The areas which have been identified in this plan make effective use of the mature organization that the Council has become - stretching its own resources to benefit the field as a whole. 40 -------- �) ) COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS SPECIAL FUNDING NEEDS 1995-96 1996-97 1997-98 1998-99 1999-2000 Projection Projection Projection Projection Projection $100,000 50,000 $100,000 40,000 $100,000 25,000 $100,000 15,000 $100,000 10,000 0 15,000 48,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4,000 10,000 0 68,000 20,000 20,000 4,000 15,000 40,000 68,000 20,000 20,000 4,000 15,000 40,000 0 20,000 20,000 4,000 15,000 40,000 0 0 0 4,000 10,000 10,000 0 0 0 $287,000 $356,000 $224,000 $174,000 $134,000 $0 30,000 0 $0 30,000 0 $10,000 30,000 60,000 $0 30,000 30,000 $0 30,000 30,000 $30,000 $30,000 $100,000 $60,000 $60,000 Aclh Wn r r • ·Me .,_-'- o1 Speci81 Funding (Sf 1) CMF office in Detroit Uae of technology to serve Members Community Foundation tax credit and deductibility of appreciated property Advocate with other non-profits • Kiplinger• type information printed in The MlcNtiM &:en.

The purpose is to clearly show the revenue sources and the general operating costs of the Council in service to its membership. The following comments are provided to assist in your understanding of funding sources and expense outflows during this current year and five years beyond. REVENUES Membenhip Contributions Fiscal 1995 will be the fifth year in which membership dues have remained at the same fee schedule. The Council of Michigan Foundations is proposing a membership dues increase effective for the next fiscal year beginning April I, 1995 as presented in the chart entitled, Projected Dues Revenues Effective 1996 (page 34). Following the year ofimplementation, the dues increase is projected to increase revenues approximately 2% annually based upon additional memberships and current membership asset growth. Ooerating Contributions Operating contributions are needed in addition to the forecasted membership dues revenue to meet CMF' s operating costs. These contributions are anticipated to come from foundations which have supported us in the past. Contributions from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation have been significant and made possible because many of CMFs program activities are part of each foundation's programmatic interests. 42 �Following is a sample of members who have contributed amounts greater than their membership dues: Purpose Fiscal 1994 Fiscal 1993 General $100,000 $100,000 Computer Infrastructure $120,000 C.S.

Annual Conference Revenue for the annual conference in 1995 represents estimated registrations for the 22nd annual conference in Dearborn, Michigan with no registration fee increase. The five year forecast projects annual conference revenues to increase 4% fJUlUally. 43 �- - - - - - - -- - - - - - -- - - -- - - -- - - - -- - - - - --- --·----·-· ·-· Supporting Organization - MAF The staff of the Council ofMichigan Foundations provide support services to the Michigan AIDS Fund. Personnel and other operating expenses which will be paid by the supporting organization under a management services contract are estimated to be $6,000. Investment Income An estimated investment return of 3. 5% has been used for budget purposes for fiscal 1995. Due to the nature of our cash flow, this is not a significant source of funds for us and we have been conservative in our projection of earnings over the subsequent five years. Publications Fiscal 1995 is the first year of a two-year cycle in which The Michigan Foundation Directory is completely reproduced. The 1995 budget 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. As approved by the Board, 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. The member price is unchanged at $25 per copy. We expect to publish over twenty materials including the following: The M~e/Ugan Foundation Directory Scholarship Manual Family foundations publications Establishing a Charitable Foundation Sales of community foundation materials Sales of address labels Sales of tapes and other library materials 44 �- - - -- - -- -- - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Small Conferences We anticipate achieving relatively the same small conference revenues in fiscal year 1995 as we experienced in fiscal 1994.

The purpose is to clearly show the revenue sources and the operating costs of the Council in service to its membership with the incorporation of the special projects and activities.. The following comments are additions to the previous financial narrative and cover the new revenue sources for special projects. REVENUES Special Funding for MCFYP This funding has been secured and represents the funding placed with CMF' s supporting organization, the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project. The funding was provided by theW. K. Kellogg Foundation to complete the $35 million project initiated by Kellogg to help develop community foundations and youth advisory councils throughout Michigan. A separate Board of Trustees oversees this supporting organization and funding is estimated to exist through 1999. Special Funding Desired services and activities which were identified in the future planning process were assigned SF 1 if these actions were expected to be implemented in the next one to three years or SF2 if the activities were expected to be implemented in four to five years. According to the schedule entitled, "Special Funding Needs," which was reviewed as a part of the narrative describing Special Projects, the financial estimates indicated on that schedule were used to develop the revenue and expense assumptions for each of these special funding priorities. It is important to note that special project revenues and related expenses are equal. In other words, special projects will not be undertaken without securing funding to support them. 47 �Endowment Earnings The potential impact of endowment income generation was discussed previously. The financial scenario helps to portray the magnitude of these earnings and the possible implications as to the projects which could be undertaken to increase and improve philanthropy without raising additional funds from members. For this reason, earnings are shown at full potential followed by the same number in parentheses to show that these funds could be used to reduce the special fund raising efforts to accomplish the goals that the Council has set forth. Other All other financial assumptions and discussion from the previous narrative apply to the following five-year projection. 48 jli'futurepVantclilt -- ---- ----- �) COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS FIVE YEAR FINANCIAL PROJECTION BUDGET INCLUDING SPECIAL PROJECTS SEE FINANCIAL NARRAT1VE 1994.QS Budgtit 1995-98 Projection 1998-97 Projection 1997-QS Projection 1998-00 Projedlon 1999-::DX> Projedb• REVENUES Memberahlp CortrtWiona Oper1ltlng CortrttlUiona Annu.~ eonr.r.nc.

The bill, which would extend the sunset provision allowing donors to deduct the full fair market value of qualified appreciated stock, is scheduled to sunset on December 31, 1994. If the ruling is not extended, beginning 1995 only the price at which stock was purchased (not the current market value of the stock) would be allowed to be deducted for income tax purposes. Attached is a copy of a letter sent by our CMF President to 132 individuals who have recently made gifts to their private foundations, or who have indicated an interest in forming a foundation. If you know of anyone who might wish to receive this information please let us know. lbpladminlbdotrustlmemofgowel �September 6, 1994 Mrs. Barbara J. Brown President Talbert & Leota Abrams Foundation 4400 Greenwood Drive Okemos, MI 48864 Dear Barbara: If you have considered making an additional gift to your private foundation, you may want to do so before the end of the year. Unfortunately, the special rule that grants a full fair market value deduction for donations of qualified appreciated stock to a private foundation is scheduled to ••sunset" on December 31, 1994. This means that beginning in 1995, you will only be able to deduct your cost basis, not the market value of the stock. Background As a general rule, when a donor contributes property which has appreciated in value to a private foundation, the donor's income tax deduction is limited to the donor's cost or basis in the property. For estate tax purposes, gifts of appreciated property left to a private foundation are fully deductible at fair market value. In 1984 we were successful in convincing Congress that in order to promote the creation and funding of private foundations during donors' lifetimes, it was critical that donors be entitled to take an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of one of the most common types of appreciated property donated: publicly traded corporate stock. Congress agreed and this new rule allowing a fair market value deduction for gifts of publicly traded stock was codified in Internal Revenue Code Section 170(e)(5). For this rule to apply, the asset must be stock of a corporation for which market quotations are readily available on an established securities market (referred to in the Internal Revenue Code as ••Qualified Appreciated Stock"). �Can Rule Be Extended? We are working diligently to seek passage ofH.R. 2418/S. 1898, which would extend the sunset, but prospects are not good as there is not a tax bill in 1994. Eight of the 41 sponsors of H.R. 2418 are from Michigan. Senator Riegle introduced the Senate bill which has also been cosponsored by Senator Levin. A delegation of CMF Members visited Washington, DC last February on the issue, and I have continually worked with Congressional staff to seek passage. One staff member told me, "don't worry, several revenue measures are sunsetting this year, we will have to have a package, including H.R. 2418 early next year." Unfortunately, we cannot rely on this advice, and we wanted to advise you of the change in order that you might make personal plans before December 31, 1994 or risk losing the fair market value deduction. If this raises any questions, please call me and or talk with your attorney. In the meantime, please know we are working on all opportunities. Sincerely, Dorothy A. Johnson President DAJ/pab/govtibr2418 p.s.

But following a year of deliberations that included telephone interviews, small group discussions, a survey and extensive input from CMF members and the Board, the Future Planning Committee is pleased to present a plan we believe will meet the needs of our members. In June 1993, when the CMF Board authorized this strategic planning process, we began with a 19-year history of past accomplishments as a base. However, with the evergrowing demands upon grantmakers, our task was to build upon those past accomplishments in the face of resources stretched beyond realistic limits since the last planning process ten years ago. Our goal: to offer a clear and concise sense of mission and purpose as well as a focused strategic plan for the most efficient use of resources. We believe the participatory nature of our deliberations, with regular reports to, and feedback from, the Board kept us well in tune with a broadly-shared sense of the Council's goals and priorities. We believe we are presenting an exciting and challenging plan that will creatively and realistically chart a course that allows us to most effectively meet the changing needs of our members and of the larger society. Most importantly it sets a new tone and direction in response to what our members told us they wanted CMF to be. j~futurepVcmtelist 8 �Our Members Told Us/We Responded OUR MEMBERS TOLD US . :··· . WE RESPONDED · :· The overwhelming majority of members find CMF's five purposes to be important. All five purposes will be continued with focused improvements. Networking is one of the most important membership services and should be expanded. More networking opportunities will be made available. Representing Michigan grantmakers' interests with government officials is critically important. CMF will seek additional state and national legislative enhancements for our public servtce miSSIOn. Members believe they receive fair value for their CMF contribution. CMF will redouble its efforts to deliver high quality service to members. Members need to be better informed about available services and programs. Communication is an organizational priority. CMF leadership in committees and on the Board needs to reflect the diversity of the membership. Diversity of Board and Committee membership will be given added attention. Members wish CMF to provide more opportunities for cooperation among grantmakers. New purpose adopted "Catalyze - Exercise leadership and serve as a catalyst for philanthropic responses to critical needs in the state." Members asked CMF to further increase efforts to increase philanthropy by working with donors. CMF will actively work with individuals interested in charitable giving. Members want CMF to be reaffirmed as CMF' s primary client, providing special services for groups of clients. CMF is member-driven, and will expand its specialized services to include members with shared interests. Members want CMF to be a proactive leadership organization, making things happen. CMF will continue to provide leadership that will bring about concrete results beneficial to members. jslfuturepllcmtelist 9 �MISSION STATEMENT The following statement was approved by the CMF Board: The Council of Michigan Foundations is an association of foundations and corporations which make grants for charitable purposes. As a membership organization, its mission is to enhance, to improve and to increase philanthropy in Michigan. This revised mission statement reaffirms the donor membership nature of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Grantmakers are our principal constituency and primary source of support. It also recognizes that CMF members come primarily from those who make grants in the State of Michigan. Our mission "to enhance and to improve" philanthropy declares that we wiJJ both advocate for and educate about practices and policies affecting philanthropy. Our mission "to increase philanthropy" means that we wiJJ undertake efforts to increase charitable resources in the state primarily through the growth and creation of community foundations, private foundations, and corporate giving programs. GOALS In serving its members and philanthropy at large, the Council of Michigan Foundations will: Network: Provide the means for regular exchange of ideas, experiences, and expertise among Michigan Grantmakers Advocate: Represent Michigan grantmakers' interests and concerns with local, state and national governments Increase: Increase the grantmaking resources of foundations and corporations in Michigan Educate: Provide Michigan grantmakers with educational resources, information and services in order to enhance and to improve philanthropy Promote: Inform the public of the importance of contributions of Michigan grantmakers to the citizens of the state and to society-at-large Catalyze: Exercise leadership and serve as a catalyst for philanthropic responses to critical needs in the state js/futurepVantelist 10 �- - - - . - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - VALUES STATEMENT In fulfilling our mission and goals, we operate by a set of values which help us provide the best possible services to our members and the broader field of philanthropy. The CMF Board and staff operate CMF under the following values: Accountability We are committed to assessing the effectiveness of CMF in meeting its goals and providing service to members. Civic Responsibility We are committed to supporting the concept of voluntary philanthropy and service for the public good. Communication We are committed to open and effective communication among our membership and with the general public. Conduct We are committed to nurturing an environment characterized by: individual respect, ethical behavior, mutual trust, personal and professional development; and equal employment opportunity. Cooperation We are committed to mutually beneficial cooperation with members, other grantmakers, and corporate giving programs, other organizations, government representatives, and the public. Diversity We are committed to encouraging diversity in philanthropy,.• 'iJhast COAif' : mising-tlfe Efficient and Effective Resource Use We are committed to the efficient and effective use of resources. Innovation We are committed to practices and policies which encourage innovation, creativity and positive change. Leadership We are committed to providing leadership to further the interests ofCMF's members and the field of philanthropy. jslfuturepVcmtelist 11 �Quality We are committed to the pursuit of excellence and to the continuing improvement of service, program and product. Stewardship We are committed to the thoughtful consideration and use of all resources. jslfuturepVcmtelist 12 �1995-2000 Goals It should be remembered that CMF will continue the services and activities noted in the 1994-95 Plan of Work, adopted by the Board of Trustees. The following new strategies are described to accomplish the goals. Funding needs to accomplish this plan are noted. Anything that can be accommodated with existing funding from the membership dues and operating contributions are noted with a (C) representing core funding. Some ideas will require special funding and are so noted. Ideas noted by (SFI) represent activities the Council would like to implement within one to three years. Ideas noted by (SF2) represent activities the Council would like to implement within the next four to five years. Goa/1: Network - Provide the means for regular sharing of ideas, experiences, and other communication among grantmakers. • Facilitate members who have mutual grantmaking interest, for example neighborhood development or child day care. (C) Establish a policy whereby CMF would co-sponsor a meeting/program if three or more members expressed an interest. The members would plan the program and CMF would provide the logistical/registration support. This model has worked well for other regional associations. The audience would be members with interest in the program topic, e.g. education reform, economic development, health, etc. • Convene meetings in local or regional areas around specific topics. (C) CMF sees a trend with members asking for more specialized, targeted information at the local level. CMF proposes to serve that need with local/or regional meetings, perhaps at breakfast, or brown-bag lunch. Examples include a meeting of office managers, or bank officers responsible for the Community Reinvestment Act, or program officers interested in continuing education. • Participate in funding collaborations as useful to membership. Participation might include providing information, facilitation and/or fiscal services. (C) Historically CMF has served the membership with community foundation energy and youth collaborations, the Michigan AIDS Fund jslfuturepllcmtelist 13 I �and the Improving Philanthropy Project. In the future members may want to collaborate with similar models on different subjects. Currently CMF is serving as an information source for the Detroit Collaborative on neighborhood development. • Develop "institutes" on topical areas of grantmaking interest. (SF2) Michigan grantmakers demonstrate a wide range of diversity in their experience in grantmaking, yet they express a common intellectual curiosity about grantmaking topics. These topics: health, education, social and human need, housing, neighborhoods, the arts, issues of peace and justice, needs of children, youth families and similar issues are complex. As Michigan grantmakers have increased their sophistication in the process of grantmaking, there is emerging a greater need to wrestle with the content of charitable grants. Several Council of Michigan Foundation sponsored "institutes" (modeled on Wingspread and similar programs) would be offered on grantmaking topics. They might be sponsored in cooperation with other organizations. Perhaps one institute per year at the beginning and more as needed. The institutes would be for one to three days. The location would facilitate discussion. Of critical importance is the quality of the program. The intent would be to identify the leading thinkers in a particular area of interest and to bring these thought leaders together with Michigan grantmakers. There may be "homework" assigned before each institute based on the leading research or providing an historic context for the discussion. The institutes would be budgeted to support themselves based on fee income. The white papers generated would be distributed to all Council of Michigan Foundations members, to selected individuals with an interest in the topic, and to the libraries of Michigan. • Enhance service to Detroit Metropolitan Area by establishing CMF office. (SF1) Michigan has I ,200 foundations. Of these, 509 are Detroit area foundations. 17% or 85 are already CMF members, leaving a potential growth in membership of 424 foundations or 83% of the Detroit foundation market. The largest metropolitan area in the state also has the largest concentration of wealth. It is ideal to establish an office on a pro-bono basis with the cooperation of Detroit area funders. jslfutuiepl!crntelist 14 �• Enhance service to the Upper Peninsula by establishing a part-time staffpresence for the Council ofMichigan Foundations. (SF2) Over the next five years, the number and size of foundations in the northern lower and the upper peninsula of Michigan will dramatically increase. This growth can be stimulated and supported by the Council of Michigan Foundations. The Council of Michigan Foundations' Michigan Foundation Directory shows no corporate foundations, two private foundations and only two community foundations in the Upper Peninsula in 1994. We expect the peninsula to be geographically covered by community foundations by the end of 1995. A new public foundation for the Michigan Native American population will be headquartered in the Upper Peninsula. The Upper Peninsula in particular is psychologically and physically separate from the rest of the state and requires technical support sensitive to the values of this region. Travel to the peninsula for five months of the year is extremely difficult. A part-time professional person familiar with foundations -- probably retired -- could provide excellent support and guidance to the foundations and could stimulate the development of new foundations. This would be a low cost operation and would supplement the technical support currently offered by the Council of Michigan Foundations' staff This staff person could also provide training opportunities for foundation staff and board members in the northern portion of the lower peninsula. • Utilize technology in cost efficient and practical manner to serve members. (C) (SFJ) Assist in the implementation of E-Mail to interested members, offer Memo to Members on E-Mail, place Directory on-line. Goal2: Advocate - Represent Michigan grantmakers' interests and concerns with local, state and national governments. • Make permanent community foundation tax credit and deductibility at market value of gifts of appreciated property. (SF1) For the past five years donors to community foundations have been eligible for tax credit to up to a maximum of$200 for a couple's $400 gift~ and up to a maximum of$5,000 tax credit offsetting eligible single business tax for a $10,000 contribution. jslfutureplfantelist 15 �CMF proposes to maintain the tax credit in order to encourage giving in local communities. Not-for-profit agencies are encouraged to establish funds within a community foundation in order to take advantage of the tax credit while establishing a permanent, endowment fund for the agency. In July 1994 the bill renewal was signed by the Governor without the cap, but with a three-year sunset. On a national level CMF is working with COF and other Regional Associations to renew the bill, which is scheduled to sunset December 31, 1994, thereby allowing the deductibility at market value of gifts of publicly traded stock. • Facilitate meetings ofgrantmakers and state and local government representatives with mutual interests. (C) CMF is finding some members who desire to meet with government representatives responsible for substantive areas (economic development/children and youth/recreation, etc.) CMF could undertake a "City Connect," "County Connect," or "State Connect," as useful to members. Activities would include information exchange and perhaps funding collaboration. The New York Regional Association of Grantmakers began their effort with a co-sponsorship of an AIDS conference with the Public Health Department. • Conduct local legislative seminars bi-ammally with local government officials. (C) Currently CMF sponsors a "grantsmanship seminar" for state government representatives and their staffs in Lansing bi-annually. It is proposed that CMF sponsor regional seminars for regional and local government representatives on off-years. Such a program would enhance CMF' s state legislative network contacts. jslfuturepUcmtelist 16 �• Advocate with other non-profits tax incentives in Michigan for giving to all non-profits. (SF/) CMF supports the Michigan Nonprofit Forum paper on tax incentives for charitable giving in Michigan. CMF contributed $5,000 to the study, and staff representative co-chaired the Task Force. Now C:MF hopes to work with MNF and others to get the proposal adopted. • Advocate on behalf of members' interest for representation on relevant state commissions and committees. (C) From time-to-time government representatives call CMF for suggestions of individuals to serve on program specific commissions and committees. At the same time members ask to be included in discussions on a specific program focus, beyond their grantmaking. Such questions do not come frequently, but when they do, it is meaningful for all concerned. • Circulate "Kiplinger" type newsletter about accomplishments of Michigan grantmakers as part of The Michigan Scene. (C) (SF1) This type of information would be helpful in noting the accomplishments of Michigan foundation and corporate funded projects. It would particularly highlight those areas that are affected by state policy, and where new models are producing effective results. It is intended this would be included in The Michigan Scene. Goal 3: Increase - Increasing grantmaking resourees offoundations and corporations in Michigan. • Activate "Donor Peer Network" to encourage giving from others. Provide them with materials and technical advice. (C)(SFJ) CMF has an opportunity to capitalize on the interests of several members to assist their peers in giving. One example is a doctor who CMF helped respond to questions from two wealthy individuals asking him for information on how to create a foundation. CMF provided the doctor the relevant materials and expects a foundation will be created within the year. The intent of this program would be to recruit interested individuals who would both respond to requests and seek out opportunities. Many of the volunteers will probably be Trustees of CMF members. jslfuturepVantelist 17 �• Develop a program for minority philanthropy. (SF1) Several Council of Michigan Foundations trustees have raised issues regarding the diversity of representation by various minority groups in the Council of Michigan Foundations membership, and therefore in the Council of Michigan Foundations leadership positions. As a membership organization the Council is reflective of the composition of the members. An array of solutions are currently under discussion. One solution is to increase the number of minorities participating in organized philanthropic grantmaking which qualifies for the Council of Michigan Foundations membership. This strategy also is in concert with the Council of Michigan Foundations goal to increase philanthropy. This initiative will require a multi-stage effort. The steps might be: • Organization of a Council of Michigan Foundations minority philanthropy advisory committee • Definition of diversity goals and minority parameters (AfricanAmericans, women, immigrants, physically challenged, etc.) • Research on the work already completed by the Council on Foundations, other charitable organizations which have wrestled with diversity issues • Identification of key minority philanthropists and a strategy to engage them in assisting the council of Michigan Foundations in its diversity goals • Implementation of a multi-year, sophisticated foundation development and membership strategy to increase the number of minority philanthropists in Michigan One group to be actively solicited as experts in this venture would be the minority business owners, athletes, and performing artists which have high public visibility and could provide role models for institutional philanthropy by minority populations. jslfuturepl!cmtelist 18 �• Encourage statewide, coordinated efforts by community foundations in addressing urgent community needs. (SF1) The Council of Michigan Foundations, by the year 2000, will have invested over a decade in the intensive development of an infrastructure for local philanthropy through community foundations . This system of independent community based grantmaking will cover the state geographically, will have a strong operational base, and will have experience successfully implementing statewide initiatives in ways custom designed for each community. The youth project is the first statewide experiment with this system. The community foundations understand their capacity to work together to deliver statewide strategies. Together they can achieve long-term, locally customized, yet systemic change on major grantmaking issues. They look forward to playing this role as long as the initiatives provide for local flexibility in implementation. The Council of Michigan Foundations can serve as the vehicle for community foundation members to pursue these initiatives. Common technical assistance can be provided and opportunities for training and networking can be facilitated. The community foundations have discussed an agenda of topical areas including environmental issues, neighborhood development and building community leadership capacity. The Council of Michigan Foundations would like to continue to pursue each of these grantmaking issues, one at a time, in concert with the leadership of the community foundations. Because of the interest of the Great Lakes Protection Fund in working with community foundations in the Great Lakes Basin, and the Michigan community foundations' desire to work in the area of the environment, this would be the next area pursued. • Strengthen donor history video project. (SF1) A charter series of four donor history video interviews has been completed. Each module now holds an historic record of the wisdom, guidance and pertinent recollections of individuals who have created private foundations in Michigan. The program's objectives remain to encourage other people to establish private foundations; to provide inspiration and engender commitment among people who are working in the philanthropic sector; to assemble, in one highly credible format, the experiences and "lessons learned" from outstanding veterans of the jslfuturepVantelist 19 �-----· - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - --------- - -- - - - - private foundation field; and to create an informative and enterprising archival record ofthis important part ofCMF's heritage. It is proposed that within the next five years, CMF undertake 20 additional donor history videos marketing the attorneys, bankers, other financial advisors, public libraries, schools, colleges and universities; and public television; interested individuals and the field of philanthropy in general. Educate - Provide Michigan grantmakers with educational services, knowledgeable resources, and informational opportunities. Goal4: • Work with members to assist them in implementing "Principles and Practices. " (C) In 1993 the CMF Board adopted the Principles and Practices instituted by the Council on Foundations. CMF will provide "how to" materials for each Principle and Practice. • Organize intemship program to assist members and CMF and to advocate for the field (C) The program would provide graduate students with an opportunity to gain exposure to the nonprofit sector. CMF would provide coordination of the program working with universities, screening the pool, submitting suggestions and providing group educational expenences. Elizabeth Sullivan from The Kresge Foundation is chairing a current effort to institute the CMF Internship Program. • Undertake research projects and encourage others (colleges and universities) to sponsor research useful to Michigan grantmakers. (C) CMF has a relationship with the university departments interested in philanthropy at Michigan State University, University of Michigan, Grand Valley State University and Wayne State University. These and other institutions would be encouraged to undertake research relevant to Michigan grantmakers. Such topics might be evaluation; at what size is a community foundation effective; are grantmakers making a difference, etc. 20 jslfuturepVantelist --------- -- - ----- --~--~- �• Enhance library use. (C) Continue to provide comprehensive library services to CMF members. Begin remote access of library databases and electronic document delivery. • Continue Improving Philanthropy project with emphasis on K-12 education, collaborating with other Michigan nonprofit organizations like the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, National Society of Fund Raising Executives, educational associations, state Chambers of Commerce, Michigan Campus Compact, etc. (SF 1} CMF' s efforts and those of members, are bearing results at the college and university level. There is interest in expanding emphasis on philanthropy and volunteerism to the K-12 curriculum. Preliminary conversations have been held with the NSFRE, and a CMF Trustee has expressed interest in leading the project. • Establish service bureau. (SF2) The purpose of a service bureau would be to develop specific materials and procedures to assist members in accomplishing those professional activities which consistently cause them the greatest inefficiencies or fiustrations in their management practices. Support for the development of these programs would first come from CMF' s fund balance, and then costs would be recovered over time by a fee for service structure. Such a program could provide the following servtces: 1. Accounting and Financial Services - Following selection, installation and implementation of appropriate multiple entity financial software, CMF would offer bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting services to small foundations who do not have an accountant on staff or volunteer support capable of performing these tasks. Such services would be a compilation of information provided, and C:MF would assume no responsibility for content accuracy unless error is readily apparent. These services are successfully being offered currently by the Indiana Donors Alliance to seven small community foundations. Payroll services and Form 990 preparation would not be offered due to liability issues. The Council of Michigan Foundations would test market the service. 2. Publication Services - Members who wish to develop media publication, but find the cost and time involved to be prohibitive, would jslfuturepVcmtelist 21 �value a simplified process where CMF would oversee layout and production. Initially, members would be assisted in an annual report preparation service, where members would provide infonnation for the annual report and choose from five to six pre-planned annual report fonnats. Even though fonnats are pre-arranged to allow for ease of development, choice of paper stock and color would result in a "personalized look" for each small foundation's report. Printing services would be on a fee for service basis, and would help increase the public's understanding of foundation operations. ~· 3. Meeting Facilitation Services- Provide infonnation, assistance and technical support with Conference planning on a fee for service basis to facilitate CMF members' needs in all areas of meeting planning such as site selection, meeting logistics, promotion, registration, etc. 4. In-depth Donor Consultation- CMF provides consultations to individuals considering how to organize their philanthropy. Such consultations can be over a number of years, and might number five or more. The "In-depth" donor consultation that would be part of the service bureau would be for those times when a member wished an indepth report on a program area; or leadership for a strategic plan. CMF would have a bank of consultants available through CMF to work for a fee on these types of projects. If the service bureau is successful, in time, executive search services may be instituted. CMF is continually asked for references. Goal5: Promote - Inform the public of the importance of contributions of Michigan grantmakers to the citizens of the state and society-atlarge. • illjJi1lf Meet at least bi-annually with editorial boards fl/ six of the largest metro areas. (C) Currently CMF meets occasionally with the Detroit newspaper editorial boards. Regional meetings of local and some state foundation and corporate giving programs would expand the editorial support of philanthropy. jslfuturepl/cmtelist 22 �·---·-- ·- -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - • Expand media coverage as useful to members. (SF1) Some members want extensive media coverage. Some members employ staff and/or an agency to promote a grant project(s). CMF could provide this service at a cost effective basis. Goal 6: Catalyze - Exercise leadership and serve as a catalyst for philanthropic responses to critical needs in the state. The idea for this new purpose comes from a few members' interests and comments. The response could range from educational programs to collaborative funding projects. Each case would be judged separately. Issues in Michigan that might be considered would include educational reform, violence, economic development, environment, etc. It would be envisioned that CMF would focus on critical state issues determined by surveying members, nonprofit organizations and other public sector entities. • Sponsor educational programs on the selected subject. (C) CMF presents a program of educational topics at the request of members. One or more of these topics could deal with the subject of mutual interest of several members, such as the AIDS program held before the Michigan AIDS Fund was ever conceived. • Give visibility to grantmaking activity that relates to the subject. Become a clearinghouse for such activity by grantmakers across the country to enhance CMF members' knowledge. (C) "How to" ideas continue to be of utmost interest to Michigan grantmakers, such as who is funding programs that work to help neighborhoods, to educate children, to bring economic development to deprived areas, etc. CMF would collect good ideas from grantmakers, nationally; access idea banks from other nonprofit; and the public. • Seek out appropriate linkages with state organizations concemed with subject for the purpose ofproviding increased information to the grantmaking community. (C) This activity would involve CMF knowing the government offices concerned with a subject of interest: meetings, conferences and an exchange of information may be useful. A current example is the CMF/Public Health Department Conference held on AIDS, which led to the Michigan AIDS Fund. jslfuturepVantelist 23 �• Support and facilitate the collaborations offimders. Such facilitation might include information sharing, program development, collaboration fimding, etc. (SF2) This activity would be self-supporting. It might range from the information function (as with the Detroit Funders Collaborative) to forming a supporting organization (Michigan AIDS Fund). It would only take place as members requested as they did with Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project and the Michigan AIDS Fund. jslfuturepVcmtelist 24 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Today and Tomorrow is a new report summarizing the progress that has been made over the past seven years in teaching college students about the part played by nonprofit organizations in addressing the challenges and rewards of our democratic society. The new report indicates that: • Twenty-seven institutions of higher education in Michigan now offer classes or curricula in philanthropy and volunteerism. • When the Committee was formed in 1987, no Michigan college or university had developed a comprehensive educational program addressing issues related to the interests of nonprofit sector organizations, and few offered even single courses on the subject • Today at least four campuses offer comprehensive programming including degree programs, concentrations, and administrative and management cognates. • Complimentary copies of the report have been sent to all CMF members. Conferences and Workshops • September 27, 1994 - The F ASB Is Coming and New Tax Regulations was cosponsored by CMF, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and the Accounting Aid Society. Members from all three organizations attended this state-wide conference. Speakers from Clark, Klein & Beaumont and Ernst & Young (CMF' s legal counsel and auditors) did an outstanding job. • September 30, 1994 - CMF provided staff assistance to nine Detroit area foundation and corporate program officers in sponsoring the second Improving The Grant Proposal Process seminar. This meeting attracted more than 100 Arts & Cultural organizational representatives and offered 18 individualized consultations. �• September 30, 1994 - CMF participated in a workshop sponsored by the Frey Foundation and the Direction Center on Foundation Trusteeship. This one day event was extremely successful for trustees from a variety of nonprofit organizations.

The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m by Herbert H Dow, Chair. Trustees and officers present in addition to Mr. Dow were Emmett D. Carson; Laura A Davis; Mary Caroline (Twink) Frey; John E. Hopkins; Gilbert Hudson; Dorothy A Johnson; Patricia B. Johnson; Donald A Lindow; John E. Marshall, ill; Mariam C. Noland; W. Calvin Patterson; John W. Porter; James M. Richmond; Ranny Riecker; Leonard W. Smith; Peter P. Thurber; Stephen E. Upton; and Kate Pew Wolters. The following Board members were present via conference call: Leo J. Brennan, Jr. and Robert S. Collier. Trustees absent were: James R Jenkins; and Donald R Parfet; Maureen H Smith; and Russell G. Mawby. Others present included Kathryn A Agard; Alice C. Buhl, Consultant; Joel J. Orosz; Future Planning Committee; Anne E. Stoll; and Judith A Steudle. Board ofTrustees Minutes Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the June 10, 1994 Minutes be approved. Future Plan Ms. Ranny Riecker, Chair of the Future Planning Committee, indicated hat the purpose of this meeting was to discuss and take action on the Future Plan of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Ms. Riecker provided background information concerning the future planning process from its beginning in June of 1993 to the present. Ms. Riecker then summarized what the CMF members had indicated in their responses to survey questions designed to provide direction with the panning process. The mission statement and goals of the organization were then stated for pwposes of review. There was discussion about the goal entitled "catalyze" which was changed to '1ead." The description of the goal was also changed slightly to ''Exercise leadership through facilitating members' responses to needs in the state." iljs/FutureP11Dn.ing/Ltrsl994/Minut894 �'1ead." The description of the goal was also changed slightly to "Exercise leadership through facilitating members' responses to needs in the state." Mr. Leonard W. Smith reviewed the values statement of the Council of Michigan Foundations noting that considerable time bad been expended by the Committee and the Board in identifying these values and descnbing them appropriately. There was discussion about the ''Diversity" value which resulted in the Board's agreement to condense the commentary about diversity to: ''We are committee to encouraging diversity in philanthropy." An additional value entitled "Service" was recommended and added. Mr. Mariam C. Noland reviewed the six goals of the future plan which include: network, advocate, increase, educate, promote and lead indicating the actions necessary to accomplish these goals over the next five years. The activities included a notation as to funding source indicating whether an activity would be considered a "core" activity which would be funded by basic member dues or whether an activity would require special funding outside of the regular dues structure. The activities were also prioritized into actions which would take place in the early years of the future plan or the later years of the plan. Several minor wording changes were suggested. Mr. Gilbert Hudson presented the financial aspects of the future plan. Mr. Hudson noted that a membership dues increase would be required in 1995 just to maintain the current level of services offered by the Council of Michigan Foundations. He also noted that dues will not have increased for five years if the proposed dues increase is implemented in 1995. Mr. Hudson outlined the basic financial assumptions that member dues would be structured fairly, special project funding would be solicited, operating expenses would be closely monitored and the endowment fund opportunities would be sought. Mr. Hudson presented the proposed dues structure along with various supporting schedules. Mr. Hudson concluded by reviewing the estimated costs associated with specially funded projects contained in the future plan over the next five years and the impact upon the financial projection of revenues and expenses over the next five years should the future plan be adopted. After discussion and upon motion was duly made, supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the future plan be adopted, including the proposed contnbution increases. President' Report Staff members were excused at this time as the President outlined the proposed staff plan to undertake the Future Plan. Following discussion and upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that Kathryn A Agard be elected Vice President for Programs. iljs/FuturePlanninJ'Ltrs 1994/Minut894 �There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 1:00 p.m. Herbert H Dow Chair iljs!FuturePlanningiLtrs 1994/Minut894 �1 MINUTES OF rnE MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE COUNCn.

Johnson Re; Regional Association/Council on Foundations Proposal The attached proposal outlines a proposal whereby RAGs (24 in the country including CMF) would do the following: • • • Mfiliate themselves as a national consortium As a Consortium, become a supporting organization of the Council on Foundations Assume increased responsibility for the costs of the Consortium's services to RAGs and their Members I am Chair of the RAG Committee as well as the Future's Committee of The Regional Initiative. I would hope that the Board would endorse this concept. The exact cost has not been determined, but CMF would pay a large percentage along with Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, due to our size. Enclosed please see further description of the proposal. lbpladmintbdottust/memoiRAG-COF �PROPOSED + That regional associations of grantmakers affiliate themselves as a national consortium; • That the consortium become a supporting organization of the Council on Foundations; + That the consortium members assume increased responsibility for the costs of the consortium's services to RAGs and their members EVOLUTION OF A CONCEPT This proposal stems from both evolution within the field of philanthropy and in RAG/Council relations. • Philanthropic infrastructure supports increasingly complex network of local, regional and national organizations and institutions with growing sets of diverse needs • Among the most prominent components of the infrastructure are the Council on Foundations and regional associations of grantmakers (RAGs)--some of which are older than COF • A growing number of philanthropic organizations (many of which belong to the RAGs and/or Council) rely on the combined leadership and services of both of these entities, and would benefit by their being more closely and formally interrelated. • COF and RAGs have long history of cooperation • 0 COF has long recognized importance of RAGs' outreach to field of philanthropy by providing modest staff and conference support for them and placing their representatives on Council board and committees- even though RAGs are not Council members and do not pay for this affiliation. 0 RAGs draw upon the Council's research, lobbying, and other resources in order to enhance service to their members. The Council draws upon RAGs' membership networks to disseminate and gather information, to promote leadership and service programs that support philanthropy and to position itself more strongly as a national voice for philanthropy. Most recent collaboration between RAGs and Council was The Regional Initiative (TRI) 0 A four-year program to strengthen the ability of RAGs to provide service to their members, it also fostered communication and cooperation among them. 0 TRI produced a wealth of products and services of direct benefit to RAGs and their members and greatly enhanced collaboration through electronic mail service, peer exchanges and substantive conferences and workshops. �• Successful implementation of TRlled to new understandings: 0 RAGs face unique challenges that are not shared by COF. 0 RAGs often are best able to help other RAGs surmount challenges they face. 0 RAGs need an organizational structure to enable them to speak, act and increase their capacity collectively; the time has come for structure to evolve from a committee of RAG executives to an alliance of service-provider institutions. 0 Even as awareness of their uniqueness has grown, RAGs also have discovered the potential benefits of working even more closely with Council, as partners. 0 RAGs have learned that full-time staff support greatly enhances their ability to serve their members, and feel a sense of urgency about having that continue. 0 RAGs and the Council together have learned that a national support structure to provide adequate services to a growing field of RAGs requires more personnel and financial resources than were being devoted before TRI. CLIMATE OF SUPPORT FOR CONCEPT • Successful TR1 experience has demonstrated the value of closer collaboration among RAGs and between RAGs and the Council. • Proposal represents result of year-long, facilitated process of careful study and discussion to achieve consensus, among a significant majority of RAG executives, on a new arrangement. • Key Council staff have been involved throughout these deliberations. • Several key COF and RAG board members have already expressed support for this concept. Several original TR1 fu.nders also endorse and/or anticipate more formal and equal relationship between RAGs and the Council. • Timing of RAG proposal coincides aptly with COF strategic planning process. Under Objective #l of Goal D, the Council is encouraged to "Explore with RAGs the feasibility of establishing a supporting organization of RAGs with a secretariat at the Council." • Separate RAG/COF staff committee is concurrently developing a set of operational protocols to facilitate greater cooperation between RAGs and the Council. IMPLE:MENTATION OF PROPOSAL- IDGBLIGHTS (also see attached proposed timetable) 3 �• Proposed consortium would become supporting organization ofCOF in January, 96. • RAGs, on pro-rated basis, would contribute financial support to the consortium for purposes of helping to underwrite national administrative and program support housed at Council. • Initial total cost of services and programs for RAGs and their members would be approximately $180,000, funded by new support from RAGs, continued support from the Council, and (initially) special transition grants. • Over a seven year period, RAGs would increase their share of the fmancial support to 50 percent of costs. • RAG national staff(l and 112 individuals) would provide active leadership to promotion of RAG and consortium interests, provision of services/development of products for RAGs and their members, technical assistance to RAGs, planning of meetings for consortium members, coordinating collaborative programs and initiatives with Council and liaison with field of philanthropy. BENEFITS OF ~"EW STRUCTURE FOR RAGs AND COF • Opportunity to engage in joint planning as partners in support of philanthropy. • Creation of governance structure for RAGs to facilitate collective decision-making about policies and programs; evolution of organization from support group for RAG executives to alliance of regional institutions in partnership with a national institution. • More, better and more cost-effective services and products for RAGs and therefore RAG members. • Opportunity, as partners, for RAGs and COF to develop collaborative rather than competitive membership-building strategies. • Acknowledgment of unique role of RAGs within philanthropic infrastructure. • Clarification of ambiguities in current RAG/Council relations, and/or defmed responsibilities and procedures for promoting each other's goals and objectives ~- 4 �PROPOSED INTERIM TIMETABLE FOR ADOPTION OF PROPOSAL 9/94 ENDORSEJMENT OF PROPOSAL BY RAG FUTURES CO:M1v1ITTEE AND DISTRIBUTION OF PAPER TO ALL RAG EXECUTIVES 10/94 REVIEW OF PROPOSAL BY MANAGEMENT CO:M1v1ITTEE OF COF BOARD 11/94 APPROVAL "IN CONCEPT'' OF PROPOSAL BY COF BOARD 11194-5/95 REVIEW AND ENDORSEMENT OF PROPOSAL BY RAG BOARDS 5195 FEEDBACK TO COF BOARD REGARDING DEGREE OF RAG SUPPORT 6/95 FINAL DECISION ON PROPOSED NEW STRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL PLAN BY COF BOARD 6/95-12/95 1196 ASSUMING APPROVAL, FORMATION OF NEW CONSORTIUM AS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION OF COF AND FORMULATION OF OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES IMPLEJMENTATION OF NEW STRUCTURE s � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
