Terminating Memberships Throughout the year, C:MF staff communicates with foundation and corporate representatives whose memberships are in arrears. After all avenues of contact and persuasion are exhausted, each delinquent membership is evaluated on an individual basis as to the prospects of retention. CMF intensifies this process just prior to the beginning of its new fiscal year (April 1). Therefore, this Membership Report contains a �32 higher number of membership terminations than are experienced in a normal quarterly report to the Board. Although 14 of the 15 memberships recommended for termination are a result of the above process, CMF will not experience a major loss of revenue. The foundation and corporate representatives have, for more than one year, continued to receive CMF benefits and publications in the hope that their support would be renewed. Erickson Foundation (headquartered in Boston, MA; Assets: $200,000; plans to terminate uncertain) Harris Foundation (not responsive to CMF requests for renewal; no reasons given) Heartland Foundation (school foundation serving Hartland School District; has not grown in two years; no need for services) Kowalski Sausage Company (donor died; daughter not interested; NBD trust customer; CMF working with Terri Thorn to re-instate) Ernest Nicolay Foundation (small foundation; giving limited to pre-determined list of grantees; not interested at this time) William and Mary Pagel Trust (terminated assets into Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan) Prince Foundation (focused primarily on religious giving/conservative philanthropy; not interested at this time) Edward C. & HazelL.

Box 599 Grand Haven, MI 49417 Dear Dottie: I wish to submit my resignation from the Board of Trustees of the Council of Michigan Foundations. The time which I have spent as a board member of the Council has provided me with insights into the world of foundations and philanthropy. I am constantly aware ofthe great achievements and great challenges in the not-for-profit arena. I have enjoyed meeting and working with many dedicated people during my tenure on the board. I feel that at this time my contributions to philanthropy and to undeserved populations will be best met in my ongoing committment and work with the Nokomis Foundation and the Frey Foundation. Dottie, I appreciate your listening and sharing as we dialogued and problem solved together last Friday. I know how meaningful it was for both of us. Sincerely yours, Twink Frey 210 GREENWICH ROAD N.E. • GRAND RAPIDS.

Michigan colleges and universities have been supportive of the opportunity and CMF members have demonstrated interest in the creation of the program and in working with students. CMF will provide an overall structure to the internship experience including, but not limited to, workshops and meetings for the interns which will enrich their understanding and the meaning of the internship experience.

Dow Foundation Pledge (if conditions met): 500,000 $957,200 �50 Date: March 13, 1995 To: Board of Trustees From: Tamara S. Ylitalo, Information Systems Manager Re: C:MF Technology Update Background In 1993-94, all CMF staff were utilizing a WANG V5000 Mini-Computer System with a custom developed software package. This system was developed to meet the membership, mailing labeL directory, and financial information processing and standard word processing needs of CMF. There also was one WANG terminal which could stand alone as a PC. This machine was used to convert files from WANG to ASCII. One Epson 386 PC was being used with a desktop publishing software (Pagemaker) to produce CMF's newsletters in-house. The Epson 386 met only the minimum requirements for the use of the Pagemaker software, therefore, the work was tedious and slow. Consequently for cost and time efficiency, only a small portion of C:MF' sprinting/publication needs were met inhouse. The Epson 386 machine also served one. other purpos~, to dial in to Mutual of America (CMF's retirement plan carrier) to make electronic fund transfers. . ... The problems with this system were: • The membership and integration features of the WANG software never worked correctly. • The custom developed reports in the mailing label and directory programs prevented adjustments and changes. Any enhancements or changes that Cl\1F might wish to make would require a professional programmer. • Font, typestyle, and format choices in the word processing program were very limited. • Because none of the programs being run on the WANG system were integrated, staff was forced to retype some information multiple times. Current Status In 1994-95, the new IAN (Local Area Network) was installed with 18 workstations. The consultant, computer project steering committee, and the new �51 systems administrator are working to improve LAN stability and eliminate software and hardware conflicts (Stability and efficiency have been at approx. 75%). All staff members attended a three day training to learn how to navigate in the Windows environment and how to use MS Word. 1his was a tremendous change of routine for all staff: especially staff who had been long time users of the previous software, making the learning curve very steep. But, the Windows environment is an industry standard, and MS Word is one of the most used word processing software packages, which is very. compatible with all ofthe other MS products. MS Word is a component of a suite ofMicrosoft Products called Microsoft Office. About mid-year, most of the staffhad developed an intermediate level of skill with Word and had begun to utilize the other three components of Microsoft Office and use the compatibility to their benefit. For example: • Access (database software) is being used to track the progress of the WKKF Challenge Grants and programs related to it. At reporting time much of the information is copied to Powerpoint to create color graphs to accompany the printed reports produced in Access. • For the 1994 Annual Conference, the entire registration process was handled in Access, with some personalized letters produced in Word (using information copied from Access). • At the Corporate Grantmakers Workshop in December, the Information Services Manager created a wonderful slide show on Powerpoint, which was projected from a laptop computer through an LED overhead projector onto a large theater screen. CMF installed it's electronic mail server which allowed all staff onsite to communicate electronically and share their personal calendars on selected levels. Later, that ability was expanded to include specific off-site staff and colleagues. All staff have utilized this capability a great deal and it has proven itself a very inexpensive means of communication. InMagic (horary database software) was installed on the network, which gives all staff search only access to the library and resource file databases. i.MIS (membership software) was selected and installed. Four staff members attended extensive training and later passed on what they had learned to additional staff. The WANG system has been reduced to 3 workstations. Directory, Mailing Label and Financial information continue to be maintained in theWANG system. The mailing label information will continue to be maintained until the i.MIS database is complete and the financial package will continue to be used until a new package is selected. �52 Future Plans Starting with 1995-96, the LAN is now more stable and efficient (90-95%). A small group of staff members have taken on the task of developing the new database in iMIS, and will use theWANG member database as a backup. All financial data continues to be stored on the WANG system and will until a financial package is selected. The selection process will be led by the new Chief Financial Officer. All CMF staff have appreciated the ability to electronically communicate with their colleagues both onsite and off. CMF seeks to broaden the scope of people they may communicate with to include members and other colleagues across the country who may not share the exact same software. By April!, 1995, there will be a second communications server installed at the CMF office to serve as a gateway to the Internet. This server will allow staff to send electronic messages to any colleague who has an Internet address. The MIS department expects this new capability to be in beta testing for approximately 4 months, to allow time to analyze monthly costs and insure security. After the test period, the CMF addresses may become more widely available. There has been much member interest in CMF making publications, sample documents (resource files}, photos, and the library database available for search and download. We will begin investigating how to best integrate the process of scanning documents and photos into the network to be stored for later use, by staff and members. Then, how to make publications available on-line. This process "Will be concluded and recommendations implemented following our research. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson Re: October 13,1995 Finance & Audit Committee Meeting On September 20, 1995, the Executive Committee ofCMF approved the establishment of the joint Finance & Audit Committee made up of the following members: - Patricia B. Johnson, Chair; President, Community Foundation of Muskegon County ( CMF Trustee). Harold H. Holland, Vice President and Trustee, Irving S. Gilmore Foundation ( CMF Trustee).

On October 13, 1995, CMF held the first meeting of the joint Finance & Audit Committee ofthe Council ofMichigan Foundations, the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project and the Michigan AIDS Fund (see attached minutes). The purpose of this Committee is to review in depth the financial statements and to advise the Board on all financial matters. This Committee has been appointed by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. RESOLVED: That the Council of Michigan Foundations Board of Trustees approve the Finance & Audit Committee Duties adopted on October 13, 1995, by the Finance & Audit Committee. See Attached Duties. DLindberglboard/cmf!mll0895a �2 Council of Michigan Foundations' Finance Committee Duties Mission: Knowledge and understanding ofthe Council ofMichigan Foundations' (and supporting organizations') financial results, budgets and overall financial systems.

Adopted October 13, 199 5 DLindberglboard/cmf/mll 0895a �3 Council of Michigan Foundations' Finance Committee Meeting Friday, October 13, 1995 University Club, Lansing, Michigan Minutes The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a.m by Patricia B. Johnson, Chair. Present: Patricia B. Johnson, Chair; Harold Holland, David R Lindberg, Richard Rappleye, Ira Strumwasser. Absent: James M. Richmond. The minutes were taken by Judith A Wright. Pat Johnson stated the Finance Committee meetings would be held quarterly, with at least one per year being in person and the other meetings possibly by conference call. The committee reviewed the duties of the Finance Committee. Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the Finance Committee recommend to the Board of Trustees approval of the Finance Committee Duties, dated October 13, 1995. David Lindberg reviewed the Investment Policies and Guidelines and stated that the MCFYP Board ofTrustees approved the guidelines on October 12, 1995. The CMF guidelines will be presented to their Board ofTrustees on November 8, 1995 for approval. The Michigan AIDS Fund is currently drafting their own set of guidelines. Mr. Lindberg noted that he will be drafting spending policies to be presented to the Investment Committee at their November 7, 1995 meeting. Ms. Johnson noted that the Finance Committee does not have the responsibility for oversight of the investments. It was noted however that they would be kept informed of any relevant information from the Investment Committee meetings. Mr. Lindberg reviewed the Ernst & Young Audit report for the year ended March 31, 1995. Mr. Lindberg reviewed the Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Activity and Changes in Fund Balances, the CMF General Operating Fund reports, the MCFYP reports and the Michigan AIDS Fund reports. It was decided to present the following the reports to the CMF Board: - Management Memo - Consolidated Balance Sheet - Consolidated Statement of Activity & Changes in Fund Balance - CMF Budget vs. Actual. The Committee decided to report grants approved by the Boards, but not yet paid out, as liabilities of future financial statements. iiDLindberg/Committee/Finance/Minutes �4 Mr. Lindberg reported that he; Dottie Johnson; and Rob Collier, Chief Operating Officer of the Council ofMichigan Foundations; have discussed that the membership letters be mailed out earlier to increase the cash flow. Mr. Lindberg stated that the interest earned on the MCFYP investments was being set aside in a Board Designated Fund. The purpose of this fund would be to help support community foundation programming past the year 2000 (which is the final year of the Kellogg grant). Current projections show that we anticipate this fund to have balance of $2.3- $2.6 million by the year 2000. The committee recommended that the fiscal period be printed on all reports (i.e., Apri11 to September 30, 1995). Mr. Lindberg explained the computer grant operations and procedures. The WKKF Computer Grant provides 66% of total costs for computer grant to the community foundations and the community foundations pay the remaining 34%. The community foundations are eligible to apply to MCFYP for a loan to help them pay for the 34%. The loan is at a 5% interest rate for up to five years. Discussion took place regarding the FASB 116 & 117 issues. Mr. Lindberg stated that the biggest issue he saw would be how confusing the new statement format would be to the Board ofTrustees. In addition he noted that adopting the new FASB's would involve additional work by Ernst & Young, which would be an unbudgeted expense. The Committee agreed that in order to make a decision on adopting the new F ASB 's they would need to see the effect on the financial statements and present this to the CMF Board. Mr. Lindberg stated that he would have further decisions with Ernst & Young regarding this issue. The Committee discussed the resolution to place the year end audit out to bid. The consensus was that the audit fees were in line with what they would anticipate from other firms. It was recommended that the Finance Committee develop a policy of placing the audit out to bid after a specified period of time. Mr. Lindberg stated that he will contact Ernst & Young regarding an engagement letter to determine their responsibilities and fees for the up coming audit. Pat Johnson adjourned the meeting at 12:45 p.m. Respectively Submitted David R Lindberg i/DLindberg/Committee/Finance/Minutes �5 Date: October 30, 1995 Memo To: Board ofTrustees From: David R. Lindberg Re: September 30, 1995 Financial Report During the first six months of this year CMF has completed the implementation of a new financial software package. This new software package has allowed us to provide a more in-depth analysis of specific program areas. The result of this analysis has resulted in CMF ending the first six months in a strong financial position. In addition to the new financial software, we are continuing to analyze and implement additional internal control procedures that will further strengthen CMF' s financial outlook. Consolidated Balance Sheet Through the direction of the Investment Committee, the current investment strategy has been to invest the operating funds ofCMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund in Woodward Money accounts and U.S. Treasury Securities. The Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund and the interest earnings ofMCFYP are being invested in higher yielding Woodward Equity Index funds, while the William Allen Fund is being invested in a mixture of bonds and common stock (see investment report for performance results). The Investment Committee along with CMF staffwill continue to monitor the performance of these various investment vehicles and explore other options that are deemed to fall within the current investment guidelines. Additional Member Contributions have remained strong during the first si"X months of this year. $100,000 in additional contributions were received in October and thus have been reflected as an accounts receivable as of September 30, 1995. "Accrued Grants Payable" is a new category that was added at the request of the MCFYP and Michigan AIDS Fund Boards of Trustees. This category represents grants, that have been approved by the Boards of Trustees, which are committed to be paid out in future periods. The purpose of this category is to give the Board of Trustees a clearer picture of the current balance of non-committed funds. In September MCFYP transferred $86,326 to CMF to pay for the Imaging Project. This transfer was budgeted for :fiscal year 1995-96. You will note that this transfer is reflected in the line item "Transfers From Other Funds". dlindberg/boardmetcmf/mtll 0895 �6 Consolidated Statement of Activity and Changes in Fund Balances As of October 25, 1995, $486,000 has been received and pledged to the Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund. This leaves a remaining unpledged balance of$14,000 to receive the $500,000 matching gift from the Herbert H. and Grace A Dow Foundation. MCFYP received an early distribution from the W.K Kellogg Foundation of$3.4 million for the WKKF III project. This money was originally anticipated to be received in fiscal years 1996-97 and 1997-98. Kellogg advanced these fund in order that additional interest income could be earned to help fund community foundation programming past the year 2000 (which is the final year ofthe Kellogg project). Council of Michigan Foundations' 1995-96 Budget vs. YTD Actual Revenues Compared to the prior year member contn'butions for the first six months of this year have been very strong. Based on membership letters sent, anticipated contributions appear to be in line with management's expectations. From October 1 to October 27 an additional $31,600 has been received in member contributions. "Additional Member Contn'butions" have remained very strong during the first six months. From October 1 to October 27 we have received $6,100 in Additional Contributions. This has resulted in a remaining balance of$22,550 to reach our goal of$202,390 for the current year. "Other Grants" represents funds received for the Michigan Cares Project and the Civil Rights Grant. $246,000 of this money has been paid out to grant recipients during the first six months (see Other Grant expense line item). The CMF Annual Conference promises to be a record year with registration fees of $129,000 being received as of October 26, 1995. Expenses CMF has continued to meet increased members needs with a minimal increase in staff from the prior year. We will continue to analyze our various systems and explore new technology to further increase services to our members, while at the same time not adding any additional staff. Based on the results of the first six months we anticipate labor to be near budgeted guidelines for the current fiscal year. dlindberg/boardmetcmflmt I I 0895 �7 To further increase sales of the Michigan Foundation Directory, a special marketing mailing was instituted in June. This special mailing resulted in unbudgeted postage of $10,366. As of October 20, 1995, an additional $19,905 in Directory sales has been generated. ''Professional & Contracted Services" includes $17,500 in expenses from Public Affairs Associates to work on the Community Foundations' Escheat Project. Funding for this project will come from the 3-31-95 Kellogg Grant #1 Interest Fund Balance. "Budgeted Conference & Meeting" includes $124,700 in costs for the CMF Annual Conference which will take place in November. Based on current registration numbers, it appears the Annual Conference will fall within budget, possibly generating a slight surplus. "Other Grants" are for the Michigan Cares project and the Civil Rights Grant which were funded through current year receipts. dlindberg/boardmetcmt7mt11 0895 �8 Council of Michigan Foundations Consolidated Balance Sheet As of September 30, 1005 ASSETS Cash Investments Due From Other Funds Furniture & Equipment Accumulated Depree Net Furniture & Equip Prepaid Expenses Accounts Receivable Total Assets LIABILITIES Accounts Payable Other Payables Accrued Grants Payable Total Liabilities ~- Council of Michigan Foundations William Allen Endowment Fund Mawby Endowment Fund $1,372 505,228 (174,788) $78,653 (862) $368,616 47,084 $6,020 17,579,159 129,158 $5 838,580 (592) 915,897 0 630,976 0 $1,085,362 0 0 $77,791 $415,700 $17,714,337 15,934 1,588 Total $7,397 19,370,236 0 915,897 {284,921} 630,976 9,703 112,871 0 0 9,703 112,871 $837,993 $20,131,183 22,723 38,657 1,588 3,355,410 3,395,655 2,874,000 2,874,000 481,410 504,133 729,555 57,901 15,384,120 (86,326) (457,457) (395,695) 17,742,694 0 (1,007,166) 77,791 415,700 14,840,337 333,860 16,735,528 $77,791 $415,700 $17,714,337 $837,993 $20,131,183 0 0 FUND BALANCE Beginning Fund Balance Transfers From other Funds Change In Fund Balance 1,200,703 86,326 (219,189) 70,517 357,799 7,274 Total Fund Balance 1,067,840 $1,085,362 FS093095.XLS1 0/30195sheet1 MCFYP (284,921~ 17,522 Total Liabilities & Fund Balance Michigan AIDS Fund dlindbergi95-95F �9 Council of Michigan Foundations Consolidated Statement of Activity and Changes in Fund Balances 4-01-95 to 9-30-95 Council of Michigan Foundations REVENUES Member Contributions Additional Member Contributions Other Grants Conference Income Publications & Library Services Computer Installment/Loan Fees Investment Income Total Revenues $245,423 173,740 251,555 38,223 31,734 0 18,600 759,275 William Allen Endowment Fund Mawby Endowment Fund $20 $47,535 8,137 8,157 MCFYP Michigan AIDS Fund Total 10,366 57,901 $4,400,000 21,168 436 16,297 505,909 4,943,810 $608,330 8,389 370 0 24,909 641,998 $245,423 221,295 5,259,885 67,780 32,540 16,297 567,921 6,411,141 0 0 3,050 0 1,856 448,476 16,985 25,190 10,025 17,504 4,932 150 0 0 1,000 590 6,990 63,003 9,685 0 184 24,301 45,908 10,679 138,433 84,075 3,725 8,341 46,684 215,224 52,662 1,695 5,200 124,746 0 176,735 0 10,555 3,880 6,925 0 11,287 3,454 2,664 0 0 2,198 7,148 98,764 30,316 0 200 63,168 14,520 431,814 115,741 1,255,552 0 440,542 481,410 0 0 0 0 2,318,042 3,355,410 39,000 170,842 8,111 921,952 5,891,405 ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Salaries & Benefits Occupancy Telephone Equipment Lease & Maintenance Postage Postage -

Tarnacki Re: Proposed Revised Legislative Goal Statement It is proposed that the following motion be approved: RESOLVED: The attached revised Legislative Goal Statement be approved. In 1977, the CMF Board established a Government Relations Committee, and in 1980, adopted a Legislative Goal Statement. Since that time eleven goals have been achieved, working with Members and others, and the Statement has been revised several times. Two goals have been completed in the past year (a return to the old rule for grants by U.S. foundations to nonresident aliens, and clarification on the treatment of premiums paid for directors and officers liability insurance for private foundations.) The government Relations Committee proposes that the attached statement be adopted and presented to CMF Members at the Annual Members' Meeting, November 9, 1995. i:ewp:committee/brdtmst/tab611-8 �2 Council of MICHIGA N FOUNDATIONS Suite 3/0ne South Harbor Awnue/P. 0. Box 599/ Grand Haven, MI -19417! (616) &12-7[:80/Fr\X (b lfl) 342-1760 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement November 1995 Philanthropy in America Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 1994, foundations and corporations donated more than $16.02 billion for charitable causes and services, including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, libraries, and programs for the elderly, and the needy. Today, foundations and corporations are being challenged to increase their support and charitable donations in the face of major cutbacks by local, state, and federal governments. In the face of this challenge, it is apparent that much can and should be done to encourage the creation and growth of new foundations and corporate giving programs. Unfortunately, the 1969 Tax Act, while introducing a number of reforms, also erected a number of major barriers to foundation philanthropy. These include the provisions that serve as disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as provisions that discourage charitable donations to foundations. After more than 26 years of experience, it is also apparent that a number of Internal Revenue Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive on the grantmaking effectiveness ofMichigan's more than 1.200 foundations, as well as the more than 35,000 other foundations in communities across the United States. If foundations and corporations are to expand their support of important social needs and programs, the Council of Michigan Foundations must work actively to inform the general public, as well as state and federal legislators and other policymakers, on these important issues. It must seek support for legislative changes that encourage the role and effectiveness of foundation and corporate philanthropy. That is the purpose of the following Council of Michigan Foundations' Government Relations Program. Background: CMF Government Relations Program In 1977, the Council of Michigan Foundations' (CMF) Members directed the Board ofTrustees to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy. This program was to include a plan to communicate with public policymakers. A Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the program. �3 Since then, the Government Relations Committee has surveyed the CMF Members in their legislative interests and priorities on a timely basis. In 1980, CMF also launched a "Developing Good Will Program" to assist in this public information effort. CMF has worked with foundation and corporate Members, the Council on Foundations, and other regional associations of grantmakers to enhance the understanding of public policymakers about foundation philanthropy and to bring about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. As a result ofthese efforts by CMF and others, the mandatory payout requirement has been lowered by Congress to a flat five percent of fcundation assets, the excise tax on foundations has been reduced, the .65 limit on grant administrative expenses has terminated, fair regulations on lobbying have been issued, and at the state level, a tax credit for individual and corporate contributions to community foundations has been enacted. The 1984 Tax Bill relaxed limitations on gifts to private foundations. Other changes since then include amending the law, whereby the gain portion of gifts of appreciated property is not subject to the alternative minimum tax reduction and an affidavit process for simplifying private foundation grants to non-U.S. charities. On a state level, CMF has been instrumental in helping to limit the tort liability of volunteers of nonprofit corporations, to repeal the state inheritance tax, to keep donors and their frJundations in Michigan, and to support the repeal of the Michigan Intangibles Tax. The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on M2.rch 1, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April12 1988; February 25, 1992; and November 4, 1992. An eighth revision is being recommended to the Board ofTrustees, November 8, 1995. National Legislative Jlssues 1. Goal: Support the continuation and expansion of tax incentives for the creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. 2. Goal: Make permanent the full deductibility of publicly-traded stock given to private foundations. Explanation: The Tax Reform Act of 1984 changed the law to permit living donors to make gifts of publicly-traded stock to private foundations and to be able to deduct the full fair market value. Unfortunately, the change expired at the enC: of 1994, which means a living donor may deduct only the cost of the publiclv-traded stock. 3. Goal: Change the limitation on gifts ton private foundation from 20 percent to 50 percent. 2 NEW �4 gifts of cash. On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50 percent of his contribution base for gifts to public charities. 4. Goal: Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer for a gift to a private foundation of certain capital gain property. Explanation: Currently, individual taxpayers may deduct the full fair market value of a gift of appreciated property in the form of publicly-traded stock, if the gift is less than 10 percent ofthe outstanding stock ofthe company. However, in other cases, such as privately-held stock, the amount of deduction continues to be limited to the donor's cost or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The same gift to a public charity entitles the taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction. 5. Goal: Pursue legislation which would allow the establishment of a common fund for private and community foundations. Explanation: Currently, foundations are not allowed by law to pool their assets. Ideally, private and community foundations could have an investment vehicle which would allow for pooling with potentially greater investment returns as administrative efficiencies. Such a fund is allowed for colleges and universities. 6. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value offoundations' grantmaking capability. Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that inflation be taken into consideration. A portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. 7. Goal: Reduce excise tax to flat 1 percent instead of the present complicated formula which permits, in some cases, a reduction from 2 to 1 percent. Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from 2 to 1 percent if a foundation's payout for the year in question equals or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets, times the average payout percentage for the five years, plus 1 percent of the foundation's net investment income. 8. Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and repeal the 3 percent floor on itemized deductions. Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, the Congress approved a 3 percent floor in deductions. This floor was scheduled to expire at the end of 1995, but was made permanent effective in 1993. 3 �5 9. Goal: Establish a small grant rule which would allow grants for charitable purposes of less than $25,000 to be free of "expenditure responsibility." Explanation: Currently, if a private foundation makes a grant for a charitable purpose to an organization without IRS tax classification as a public charity, the foundation must assume "expenditure responsibility." This is a costly and time consuming function for private foundations, and most will not undertake the responsibility. Others are discouraged about the amount of paperwork necessary for a grant less than $25,000. 10. Goal: Limit lineal descendants who are "disqualified persons" at the level of grandchildren. Explanation: In 1984, the law was amended to limit "disqualified persons" to substantial contributors to a foundation and their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and their spouses. The amendment provided that substantial contributors will no longer be considered "disqualified contributors" if over a ten-year period, they make no further contributions to the foundation and do not manage it, and their total contributions are insignificant in light of substantial growth in foundation assets. However, there is still no logical rationale - -or examples of abuse - -to justify the inclusion of lineal descendants beyond the level of grandchildren. 11. Goal: Exclude from the formula used to compute the excise tax on private foundation net investment income, any capital gain realized in the fiscal year in question. 12. Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers with a $100 floor. Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form which permits itemized deductions, instead they file the short form which allows only a standard deduction. 13. Goal: Modify the law to permit the "out of corpus" requirement to be met by a foreign grantee if sufficient documentation is provided showing that the full amount of the grant was spent for the specified purposes within 12 months after the year the grant was made. Explanation: When making grants to some foreign charities, private foundations are required to treat them as private foundations. Any grant from a private foundation to another private foundation requires that the amount granted "flow through" the grantee and out as qualifying distributions that are made "out of corpus" by the end of the following year. The purpose for this rule is to prevent a foundation from avoiding the payout rule by having one private foundation give to another who then simply adds the grant to its endowment (corpus), with charitable grantees receiving no benefit. In the foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment and totally misunderstands the concept of "out of corpus." 4 �6 foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment a:1d totally misunderstand s the concept of "out of corpus." 14. Goal: Protect charitable gift annuities. Explanation: Many public charities, inciuding community foundations, offer donors the opportunity to contribute through charitable gift a~1nuities. Under these arrangements, donors make a substantial gift of property to the charity and receive a fixed income from that gift for life. At death, the balz.nce of the gift passes to the ch1rity. A class action law suit has been filed against 30 charities challenging this gift annuity planned giving technique. 15. Goal: Amend the generation-sk ipping transfer tax law to extend the predeceased parent exclusion to charitable lead and remainder trusts. Background: The Internal Revenue Code levies a substantial tax, called the GenerationSkipping Transfer Tax (GSTT), on a donor who distributef, property to a grandchild while the donor's child is still living. This tax is in the 55 percent range, and is levied on top of the regular estate or gift taxes which may be applicable ... a combination which can total almost 80 percent. Similarly, a donor may not under current law leave the lead or remainder interest from a charitable trust to a grandchild without incurring this tax. Current law does include a "predeceased parent exclusion" which eliminates the GSTT in cases where the donor desires to leave property to his or her granc'child and the grandchild's parent (the child of the donJ:·) is deceas,~d a~ the time ofthe transfer. But this exclusion now applies only to direct gins and bequests and not to any type of transfer from a charitable trust. Charitable lead and remainder trusts have become important sources of support for many charitable organizations, and the impact of the GSTT is a huge disincentive for donors who would otherwise create such charitab!e vehicles. 16. Goal: Allow private and community foundations to own S-Corporatio:1 stock. Explanation: There are more tha'l 1.9 millicn S Corpxations :n the United States. Many individuals, having achieved succes~ in the business world, have e:-:press~d interest in contributing S Corporation st'Jck to public charities and foundc.tions in order to donate a portion of their private wealth to th.; public good. Unfortunately , current law prohibits charities, including private and community fi)undations, from owning S Corporation stock. 17. Goal: Change the due date of the 5n;t estimated tc.x payment so t:,c:.t it coincides with the due date of the Form 990-PF. Explanation: Private four..dations now must pay estimated taxes 'Jn their investment income in quarterly payments. However, the first pa?men~ ec·~h year is due three and a half months after the tax year whi!.; the t?..x return is not du~ cntil 2. mont~ later. 5 HEW �7 18. Goal: Clarify legislation that preserves the principle of full deductibility from U.S. source income for corporate gifts to U.S. charities operating in the United States and provide rules for securing such deductions that are responsible and easy to administer. Explanation: The IRS announced regulations that would require charitable gifts and grants by multinational corporations to be allocated between U.S. and non-U.S. sources for purposes of charitable deductions. While such regulations have net been promulgated in final form, it appears that such an allocation is the eventual administrative intent. If applied in this manner, the allocation will severely reduce the value of charitable contributions by many multinz.tional corpo:at1ons. 19. Goal: Secure passage oflegislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long t.lx form which permits itemized deductions; instead they file the short form which allows only a stc:.ndard deduction. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard dec,uction plus itemize charitable contributions within C;!rtain limits. 20. Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can lobby or otherwise influence public policy decisions and oppose ur:reasonable limits that adversely affect grantmaking. Explanation: Oppose tmreasonable and u:u:eces~a.ry regulatory burdens placed on charitable and nonprofit grantees offoundatioJs and ·::orpo~ate giv:ng p~ograms and unreasonable limits which adversely impact g~antmakers' a:Jility to fund research and evaluation. 21. NEW NEW Goal: Support legislation to eliminate the classification of realized gains and income, derived from leveraged real estate investments by foundations, as unrelated business taxable income. Explanation: Foundations and non-profit organiza6ons are significan: investors in the real estate market. Income derived form leveraged real estate investments, owned directly NEW or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated bus:ness taxable income (UBTI). Legislation would have private foundations treated ir: the the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 198 'J, have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect ~o the acquisiticn of certain real property. 6 �8 National Reguiatory Issues 1. Goal: Return to the old rule for grants by U.S. foundation~to n ~rJ aliens, where such payments are taxable depending on the place where the ~study takes place. Revenu~ Explanation: In 1989, Treasury published which revised a longstanding position involving payments to nonresid r scholarships, fellowships, prizes, and awards. The old rule said that the such payments for tax purposeswas determined according to where the research or study activities take place. Problems developed when the 1986 Tax Reform Act changed the rules for scholarships, fellowships, etc., so that such payments were taxable except for t'Jition and related fees. Thus, many foreign students in the U.S. became subject to U.S. tax. The universities sought relief The 1989 ruling reversed the old rule by stating that the source of the payment--for tax purposes--shall now be determined according to the residence of the payer. As a result, such payments by U.S. foundations to nonresident aliens wo::king or studying outside the U.S. became subject to 30 percent withholding. so~ 2. ~~aid Goal: Obtain a Treasury ruling sthting that no part oft he fer directors and officers liability insurance need be treated as com!.~~W~aritable organization. Explanation: Existing rulings indicate that s~~1;ion ofthe premiums paid for directors and officers liability insurance for priv~ foundations must be treated as compensation to those covered to avoid ~.elf-dealing. 3. Goal: Permit community four.dations to administer pooled income funds with the remainder interest at the donor's death going t0 the lo:::al c'larity either by a) establishing a designated fund, or 2) turning the corpus di::ectly over to the local charity designated by the donor at the time of contribution ofthe fund. Explanation: A pooled income fund is a form of cie:"errec giving whe:-eby living donor may contribute assets to the fimd and receive income payments during his or her lifetime. The donor is eligible for a limited charitable deduction in the year of the gift, and at the donor's death, the charity receives title to the en:ioVJment. By pooling such contributions, a charity can m0re efficie:~·tly administer thi~ typ·~ of pre gram. Current law, however, requires that a pooled income fv.rd he "r.1aintaincd" 'Jy the organization to which the remainder interest is contributed. State Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Support tax incentives fer c.:mtributior.s to charitable orgar.izmions. Explanation: Support legislat:or: encouraging contributions from individual!.:. 7 2. tax -deductio[ for cha:i~able NEW �9 2. Goal: Support continuation of the State Community Foundation Tax Credit. Explanation: Since 1988, individual and corporate donors to a certified community foundation have been eligible for a state tax credit from the state income or single business tax. CMF Activity 1. Regularly communicate with elected officials of federal, state, and locai levels about foundation activities and concerns. 2. Encourage Member foundations to report grants and activities to government officials. 3. Encourage Members in each Michigan Congressional District to meet as a group with their legislator, when the legislator is i1 Distr:ct, to ciscuss the local contribution of community and private foundatior:3 and corporate giving. 4. Support public reporting for foundations, beyond the reports required by Jaw, and provide technical assistance for those fo'Jndations seeking to print an annual report or guidelines. Assist in distribution efforts. 5. Expand efforts to explain foundations and their problems to the grantee organizations and the general public. 6. Encourage meetings with local editorial boards and the media about foundation activities and concerns. 7. Develop state legislative network by House and Senate districts and enhance communication with key committee leadership. 8. Continue discussions with the Michigan Attorney General's Office regarding community and private foundation concerns. 9. Encourage meetings with Executive Branch of state government. 10.

Mawby, Chairman, Improving Philanthropy Committee Linda B. Patterson, Improving Philanthropy Director Re: Improving Philanthropy Project Update The Improving Philanthropy Project was created in 1987 to address issues which would strengthen the effectiveness of the nonprofit sector. Two important initiatives currently underway include: The K-12 Education Project This project is an effort to include teaching about philanthropy and voluntary association in the K-12 curriculum. The project has been initiated to address the fact that a student can complete a good formal education and never really grasp what the nonprofit sector means to us as a people or as a society. The project advocates that knowledge about "voluntary action for the public good" be included in the K-12 continuum as students gain life skills and become prepared for citizenship. Several Michigan schools are now involved in community service activities. However, there is little reflection about, or application o£ the lessons learned through these experiences with subjects being taught in the classroom This project hopes to correct that circumstance by capitalizing on the current interest in educational reform; believing that not doing so will diminish both our democratic values and our democratic institutions. W. Calvin Patterson, ill, is serving as staff for the project. He has interviewed key leaders in education to solicit their thinking on how to proceed with implementing the goals of the project and to assemble a Steering Committee (see attached list), which held its first meeting on Tuesday, August 29, 1995. We have collaborated with Indiana University, which is engaged in a companion project to transmit the traditions of philanthropy to targeted populations. A data search has been conducted to identifY existing curriculum models, and the newly issued National Education Goals and Teaching Standards have been reviewed. We are conducting a survey in cooperation with the Michigan Community Service Commission to determine what service learning curriculum and policies are currently used in Michigan. A "Curriculum Committee," chaired by Kathryn A Agard, Executive Vice President of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County, has been established to assist in identifYing and prioritizing appropriate subject matter related to philanthropy and voluntary association. The Committee will develop targeted teaching units and pilot the products in selected classrooms. It will then recommend strategies for achieving the comprehensive curriculum goals of the project �2 The Nonprofit Management Skills Education Project This project is a cooperative effort between the Michigan Nonprofit Forum; the Presidents Council, State Universities ofMichigan; and CMF as a consortium to develop a program to identify and catalogue university-based management and technical assistance resources for the purpose of making management skills training available to nonprofit practitioners in all Michigan communities. This project is meant to respond to the management training needs of community-based nonprofit organizations, which often face time and money constraints that preclude manager's participation in traditionally designed academic programs. The consortium will publish a catalogue of university offerings and maintain an updated data bank of available resources. It is funded by a $20,000. grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The project is being assisted by writing consultant, Evonne Kok, who has held two meetings with university representatives to achieve approval of the project concept, and to design a survey to accurately access existing resources. Two surveys have been distributed. Lessons from the first survey showed how difficult it is, with today' s campus decentralization and faculty mobility, for administrators to know of individual faculty members' academic commitments and specific course content. We are hopeful that the catalogue published as the result of this effort will further the following purposes of the sponsoring organizations: • • • Michigan Nonprofit Forum - to provide nonprofit practitioners with a simple identification of: and access to, time and cost effective management training. Presidents Council- to provide legislators and other interested parties with evidence of university outreach and relevance to local communities. Council ofMichigan Foundations- to encourage faculty recognition of the academic significance of nonprofit management issues. Shorter term objectives of the project are focused on identification of existing resources, dissemination of that information, and encouragement of the development of practical teaching units. Longer term objectives will be to extend the effort to other institutions of higher learning, to encourage the inclusion of nonprofit management issues into traditional teaching curriculum, and to strategize on developing more efficient delivery systems for resource training. 1bp/improve/reports/1 0-31-9 5 �3 Michigan K-12 Education Project Steering Committee Dr. Russell G.

Mawby, Chairman, Increasing Philanthropy Committee Linda B. Patterson, Increasing Philanthropy Director Joseph Breiteneicher, The Philanthropic Initiative Re: Increasing Philanthropy Project Update CMF has been invited to assist The Philanthropic Initiative, a Boston organization which educates donors about strategic philanthropy, with implementing a W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant to develop materials for professional advisors in working with their clients who are interested in philanthropy. This is a statewide effort that will deal with the overall topic of philanthropy, and is not intended to promote any particular type of giving vehicle or any particular nonprofit organization. All types of philanthropy will be addressed including direct giving, private foundations, community foundations, corporate giving programs, and supporting organizations. The project will serve as a national model. To accomplish our purpose, we will be interviewing attorneys, accountants, and bank trust officers in each major area of the state. A fourth "other" category of advisors to be interviewed will be investment advisors, estate planners, brokers, and insurance agents who are instrumental in working with families ofwealth in our communities. We have assembled a list of recommended professionals from sampling CMF's membership for the names of :firms and individuals whom are highly regarded. The interviews will be for information gathering to learn about the needs of each group on how to make it ethically and professionally comfortable to discuss the topic of philanthropy with their clients. It is our understanding that some advisors do not raise the subject of philanthropy with their clients because they feel that it is unethical, or unprofessional, to do so. Our approach will emphasize the client/donor's interest as being the decision driver, thus enabling the professional to raise the issue and present materials in an unbiased manner. We expect to develop companion materials to the "So You Want To Give" brochure, that will explain to specialized professional groups why consideration of philanthropy is important to their clients and can enhance the value of their own services. The materials to be developed will be tailored to each profession's interests as they are identified through the interviews. They will complement existing materials targeted to donor uses, and facilitate the use of marketing materials already developed by COF and some of the larger community foundations, by providing a more neutral environment in which to disseminate this information. �2 The W.K Kellogg grant to TPI is for a one year period. We feel that we can complete the interviews and draft the new publications within that time frame. Longer term objectives of the project will be to seek additional funding sources for extending the strategies to the broader field of philanthropy, to develop professional workshops and disseminate the information through professional associations/journals, and to work with professional schools to encourage inclusion of these concepts in professional curriculums. We are very excited about the potential for this project, and look forward to keeping you informed as it progresses. lbp/increase/tpi/rq:lOrts/1 0-31-9 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thurber Re: Investment Committee Report At the September 20, 1995 Executive Committee meeting the following Investment Committee members were appointed: - - Robert E. Swaney, Jr., Chair; Vice President & Chief Investment Officer, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Edward M. Hunia, Senior Vice President & Treasurer, The Kresge Foundation John E. Marshall, ill; President and Trustee, The Kresge Foundation Leonard W. Smith, President, The Slci11man Foundation Peter P. Thurber, President, David M. Whitney Foundation On August 18, 1995, the Investment Committee met to review and approve the draft proposals of the Investment Policy Statements for the CMF and MCFYP. The Committee has been careful to include language which satisfies the Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act (UMIFA), which was adopted by the State of Michigan in 1976 and the Prudent Investor Rule (1992), which was adopted by the American Law Institute. The Investment Policy Statements for MCFYP were approved by their Board of Trustees on October 12, 1995. The Michigan AIDS Fund is currently drafting a set of Policy Statements that will be presented to the Investment Committee at a later date. As part of the Investment Committee's ongoing effort to increase investment earnings, a reduced management fee structure has been negotiated with NBD. This reduction in fees should result in a savings of approximately $30,000 to $40,000 per year.

Marshall, III, Chair, Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Robert S. Collier Vice President and COO Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Report RE: Attached please find the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Report for your review. The report contains the following items: I. MCFYP Project Update II. MCFYP Status of Grants III. 1995 Civil Rights Youth Community Partnership i:dmer\anconf\95\mcfypmem �2 Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Project Update Program Summary The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) is a statewide program designed to build community foundation capacity, to establish youth as philanthropists, to build permanent and growing funds within each community to meet local youth needs, and to expand and extend community foundation service to cover the State so that every donor has access to a community foundation vehicle. MCFYP is funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and provides challenge grants, technical assistance, leadership training, mini-grants, and conferences to Michigan community foundations and their Youth Advisory Committees. MCFYP supports youth as existing resources and decisionmakers in communities and establishes important statewide ties to service, volunteerism, philanthropy and service-learning. Overview The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has granted $49 million for this project. 1988-1991 $2 million 1991-1996 $35 million 1996-2000 $12 million From the $49 million, a total of $39 million has been available to community foundations as challenge grants with $11.5 million remaining. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has provided a companion grant to support technical assistance to Michigan's community foundations from 1988-1995. Geographic Service During 1995 we have continued our substantial progress in the geographic reach of community foundation service. 71 Michigan counties, of the 83 total, are now served. This compares to 57 from last year. Three other counties have active organizing committees and/or are awaiting 501(c)(3) approval. The development of the Upper Peninsula Community Foundation during 1995 provides access to all Upper Peninsula communities. There are 4 geographic component funds to the Upper Peninsula Community Foundation in addition to the 7 additional independent UP community foundations and their 3 geographic component funds. We have a part-time Upper Peninsula consultant, George Tomasi leading this development. We believe we will achieve full coverage of the state by the end of 1997. �3 Organizational Strength The viability of community foundations to serve their communities is measured by secondary measurements such as asset size, grantmaking dollars, and professionalization. These indicators show rapid growth. Responding to the challenge, assets in the community foundations have grown by 146%, from $233,380,117 in 1988 to $573,305,654 in 1994. Grantmaking has increased by 85% from $18,841,874 in 1988 to $34,736,736 in 1994. This growth is particularly impressive given the investment climate during calendar 1994. Staffing has grown to 136 professional staff with six community foundations adding their first staff members this year. Community foundations also continue to deliver significant program initiatives at the local level such as the Community Health Initiative and the Families for Kids Project of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Additional collaborative initiatives were introduced this year such as the Michigan CARES project with six pilot community foundations and the Youth Community Partnership Program partnering the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission and Community Foundation Youth Advisory Councils from across the state. A report on the projects being funded through the Civil Rights Youth Community Partnership is included as an addendum to this report. The community foundations have set a goal for themselves to reach $1 billion in assets by the year 2000 so that they might return $50 million per year to Michigan communities. Technical Assistance The technical assistance provided by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and this final year of assistance from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation is critical to fulfilling the promise of developing this system. Through the technical assistance component: three publications have been written this year; 21 training sessions have been held with 933 people; 62 legal questions have been answered for 26 community foundations and 109 on-site consultations have been completed. Mini-grants averaging $1,509 have been given to 24 community foundations. Scholarships averaging $356 have been awarded to 13 community foundations to allow them to pursue further training opportunities. Materials and technical assistance strategies developed through the project are being shared worldwide with emerging community foundations in eastern Europe, South Africa, Latin America, Japan and Australia. Youth Project There are now 64 community foundations and geographic component funds with active youth committees and over 1,500 young people have been involved in philanthropy since the projects inception. Ten community foundations have raised the full match providing the young people with the interest on $1 million for grantmaking for programs for youth. �4 As of August, 1995, youth committees have now made over $1,758,205 grants for local youth needs. A sample list of 25 proactive grants is included as an addendum to this report. Leadership camp during the summer of 1995 drew 170 youth, and 234 young people attended a one-day Regional Workshop held in four locations in the spring of 1995. There is an excellent relationship between this project, Campus Compact, the Michigan Community Service Commission, and other youth and philanthropic initiatives. For the first time, one half of the primary group leaders at leadership camp were former Youth Advisory Committee members. Community foundations are also experiencing "alumnae" of the youth committees becoming donors to the community foundation. Future Plans The Council of Michigan Foundations is continuing its plans to complete the building of the community foundation infrastructure in Michigan. The current youth challenge grant, with its technical assistance support, the computer project, and related specialized projects have been the first step. The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project, a supporting organization of the Council of Michigan Foundations, has established a permanently endowed fund to support community foundation development far into the future. In early 1995, we received a third challenge grant designed to fully complete the goals of this project by the year 2000. This final grant assures that every emerging foundation will be able to participate in the challenge grant process. It continues the technical assistance support through the Council of Michigan Foundations and provides incentive dollars which will be used to encourage mergers in the years 1998-2000 so that every community foundation is viable by the end of the project. i:dmer\anconf\95\mcfyprpt �5 WKKF I MCFYP II CHALLENGE GRANT Totals by Community Foundation as of October 1995 COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Albion Civic Foundation Allegan Foundation Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Baraga County Community Foundation Battle Creek Community Foundation *Homer Area Community Foundation Bay Area Community Foundation Berrien Community Foundation Branch County Community Foundation Buchanan Area Foundation Cadillac Area Community Foundation Capital Region Community Foundation Charlevoix County Community Foundation Community Foundation for Delta County Community Foundation for Northeast Ml Community Foundation for Southeastern Ml Community Foundation of Greater Flint *Clio Fund * Fenton Fund *Grand Blanc Fund Community Foundation of Monroe County *Bedford Community Foundation Community Foundation of St. Clair County Community Heritage Foundation of Eaton Rapid~ Dickinson County Area Community Foundation * Norway Area Community Fund Four County Foundation Fremont Area Foundation *Big Rapids Area Community Foundation *Osceola Community Foundation Grand Haven Area Community Foundation * Coopersville Area Foundation Approved Amount $92,500 $1,000,000 $750,000 $10,000 $1,000,000 $100,000 $1,000,000 $200,000 $480,000 $225,000 $343,700 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $187,000 $621,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $130,000 $227,500 $12,500 $50,000 $65,000 $1,000,000 $25,000 $150,000 $37,500 $37,500 $29,500 $85,000 $94,500 $1,000,000 $75,000 Amount Paid $62,500 $975,000 $500,000 $10,000 $1,000,000 $100,000 $1,000,000 $0 $480,000 $200,000 $143,700 $511,500 $703,000 $172,000 $621,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $12,000 $127,500 $12,500 $50,000 $15,000 $1,000,000 $0 $0 $85,000 $94,500 $750,000 $0 �6 COMMUNIT Y FOUNDATIO N Approved Amount Amount Paid The Grand Rapids Foundation * Hudsonville Community Foundation * Ionia County Community Foundation *Wyoming Community Foundation Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundatior *Otsego County Community Foundation Gratiot County Community Foundation Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation Greenville Area Foundation Hillsdale County Community Foundation Holland Community Foundation, Inc.

Valerie Lies, President, Donor Forum of Chicago, chairs the RAG Committee, an office I held for the last two Y'~ars. Community Foundations Update Branding Project The Community Foundation Committee has met several times to discuss research and development of a donor awareness campaign and a product campaign for the marketing of community foundation services. This need was identified as a result of the changes in the banking industry, financial management services, donor ~~xpectations and nonprofit environments. Representatives from the Academy for Educational Development met with �6 the committee and led them in the development of a "creative brief' that outlines what the Michigan community foundations want to accomplish, targets six key audiences and details the benefits they will be promoting. The creative brief will be used to seek the services of an Ad agency and to educate community foundation board members and staff Great Lake Protection Fund The Environmental Grantmakers of America held their annual conference October 11- 14, 1995 in the Traverse City area. With financial support The Great Lakes Protection Fund and logistical support from CMF, I 0 community foundations ( 6 in-state and 4 out-of state) attended the conference. During the conference, discussions were held on a special Saginaw Bay initiative that will include 4 Michigan community foundations and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Discussion were also held by the 10 participating community foundations on the rough parameters of a pilot project involving 15 of the 80 community foundations in the Great Lakes Water Basin. Two proposals are being developed for submission in January. Grand Valley State University and the Center on P/ti/{lnthropy and Nonprofit Leadership With funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (MCFYP III) grant, Michael Payne, professor at Grand Valley State University and the Center on Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership, is conducting research on the topic: Toward a Theory of Community Foundation Asset Growth. The goal of the research is to test the validity of two key assumptions about the growth of community foundations in Michigan: first, that community foundation assets grow rapidly once they exceed $5 million and second, that community foundations at some given asset size and mix can generate sufficient fees to cover the costs of administration. A report will be produced by June, 1996. Legacy Manual A Guide to Building a Legacy Societv, a new publicatio:1 which models a successful legacy society, will be available at the Cl\tlF Annual Conference in November, 1995. A legacy society is a marketing tool and a donor service that formally recognizes donors who have made plans to leave a gift to a community found::~.tion. Computer Project CMF continues to support the Computer Project through the management of the grant/loan program to Michigan community foundations, coordination of User Group meetings, specialized training sessions, and the on-site assistance for project participants. Standard coding has been developed and a Coding Book has been provided to project participants. By early 1996, all community foundations participating in the computer project and utilizing Foundation Information Management System (FIMS) software will �7 be connected through the Internet, a Report Catalogue will be available to all project participants and the Pledge and Scholarship modules will be completed. To date, 36 community foundations in Michigan have been approved for a grant/loan under this program. Of these 36, 27 are in varying stages of implementation with plans to have all 36 installed by early next year. Several more community foundations will also be applying for the grant/loan program over the next two years. Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) At the October 12, 1995 MCFYP Board of Trustees Meeting, 27 Challenge Grants for a total of$2,786,000 were approved. 134 challenge grants have now been approved to 64 community foundations and geographic component fund:.;. $11,534,861 remains in the MCFYP challenge. Evaluation Sub-Committee The Evaluation Sub-Committee ofMCFYP met on Juiy 21, 1995 with special guests Judith Kroll, Director of Research, Council on Foundations (COF) and Karin Tice, Senior Partner, Formative Evaluation Research Association (FER.A.). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the consolidation and computerization of surveys sent to Michigan community foundations. A collaborative arrangement was designed and the CMF 1995 Salary Survey which was conducted in late August, 1995 was the first successful demonstration of that collaborative effort. Salary and benefit survey reports were distributed to the field in early October to facilitate community foundations' 1996 budget process. Future surveys by CMF and COF will be conducted in partn,~rship avoiding duplication and, hopefully, increasing survey respor.se. Computer generated reports will be facilitated through the Community Foundation Computer Project. The Evaluation Sub-Committee met again on September 12, 1995 to participate in a Data Interpretation Workshop led by FERA. The wcrkshop was designed to 1) look at what we have learned so far about the MCFYP; 2) decide what we need to do with the information gathered; and 3) outline the preliminary design for the WKKF III MCFYP grant. This provided to be an extremely informative meeting. On November 26, 1995, Phase II of the Data Interpretation Workshop will be completed with the community foundation staff and FERA. Youth Leadership ConJere11ce 1995 Camp was very successful with approximately 240 participants attending. Sessions offered included: • Adult Advisors Training involved approxirr..ately 13 YAC advisors. Advisors were given information on parameters of the youth project, and training in facilitation and how to work with young people. One of the highlights of the training was a panel of �8 • • four current and former Y AC members who taught about their experiences, needs, and hopes for continued success in the youth project. In addition, advisors experienced training with the Leaders in Training group, a group of experienced Y AC members. This training was focused on ways advisors and Y AC members can negotiate and work together more effectively. Leaders in Training involved approximately 15 YAC members who have had at least three years worth of experience. This training was designed to more fully utilize Y AC members as facilitators. The Leaders in Training group facilitated the reflection component for the other participants,' they also undertook "' service project as well. Their curriculum focused on trusteeship and ways they could work with adult advisors. This model was very effective. The majority ofthe participants experienced a curriculum session on learning what grantmaking is and how one might approach it, including: a session on diverse communities-- understanding how divers!ty pl.ays a key role in addressing issues in our communities; and morals and ethics which focused on understanding ones morals and ethics as it relates to the Y AC experience and grantnaking. Parti-;;ipants were also involved in an immersion activity that emphasized teamwork, respor.sibility, and community. Finally, participants on the last day engaged in action planning. The hope is that each community foundation YAC will connect what th~y learned at camp with their work at home as grantmakers. Regional Trainings Fall regional trainings began on October 7, 1995 in Marc;uette with approximately 25 youth advisory committee members, community foundation board members, and advisors. Participants attending the regional training were g~ven training on model programs and resources and proactive grant'llaking. The keynote speaker, Joh!.:ny Tuitel discussed disabiltiy and diversity. The closing keynote speaker, Angela Blake, Youth united/Kalamazoo Foundation alumnae, spoke about her experiences and how the youth project has impacted her. The second regional training was held on October 21, 1995 in Traverse City and involved approximately 60 youth advisory committee members and advisors. The next two trainings will be held on October 28, 1995 in Flint and November 4, 1995 in Muskegon. National Youth Conference The planning committee met on September 19, 1995 at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.

Michigan CARES The six pilot communities involved in the Michigan CARES project to design sustainable volunteer and service plans for their communities are in the final stages ofPhase I. Projects demonstrating their community plans have been implemented over the summer in all but two communities. Final reports from the community foundations were submitted September 1, 1995. A proposal by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) for Phase II funding of the project has been approved by W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Phase II will provide continuation money for all six communities for t~1e second year, two competitive grants for two communities in year three, and will provide for dissemination of lessons learned about the project in year three.

Johnson Re: Audit & Finance Committee Report The Audit & Finance Committee will be meeting on February 15, 1996, to review the December 31, 1995, financial results and 1996-97 budget for CMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund. In addition, the committee will review the audit engagement letter from Ernst & Young for the years ending March 31, 1996, and 1997. Attached you will find a resolution to approve Ernst & Young as auditors for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1997. During this meeting Mr. Lindberg will report that he is currently working with Ernst & Young to revise the current financial statements to comply with the FASB 116 & 117 issues. Ernst & Young has indicated that in order for CMF to receive an unqualified opinion, compliance with the new FASB's is necessary. Prior to the issuance ofthe final audit report the Finance & Audit Committee will review the financial statement presentations. The year-end audit along with a presentation addressing the FASB 116 & 117 issues will be presented to the Board at the June meeting. dlindber!ifbordmet/cmffm022196e I,11 1 �------~--- -- 2 Date: February 9, 1996 To: Board of Trustees From: Patricia B. Johnson Re: Approval of Auditors For The Year Ending March 31, 1996 Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations Board of Trustees approve the appointment of Ernst & Young, LLP as auditors for the years ending March 31, 1996, and March 31, 1997. Fees for the year ending March 31, 1996, shall be allocated as follows: $6,120- CMF $4,080- MCFYP $1,300 - Michigan AIDS Fund Fees for the year ending March 31, 1997, shall not exceed a 5% increase. Audit fees for the year ending March 31, 1995, were $5,850 for CMF; $3,900 for MCFYP; and $1,250 for the Michigan AIDS Fund. During the October 6, 1995, Audit & Finance Committee meeting the re-appointment of Ernst & Young, LLP was discussed. After reviewing the previous years' audit fees, and comparing to audit fees incurred by other foundations, the consensus reached by the Committee was that the proposed fees appeared reasonable. Pending the receipt of a formal engagement letter, the Audit & Finance Committee approved the appointment of Ernst & Young for the March 31, 1996, audit. The Audit & Finance Committee is meeting on February 15, 1996, and approval of management's recommendation to retain Ernst & Young for the year ending March 31, 1997, is expected. dlindberg!Boardmet/crnfi'm022196c � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson David R. Lindberg Re: Fiscal Year 1996-97 Budget Review As you review the 1996-97 budget you will note that we have broken the CMF portion of the financial statements down into two separate categories. The first being CMF Core Operations and the second being CMF"Special Projects. For informational purposes, the Consolidated Statement includes the two supporting organizations of MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund. The CMF Core Operations represents the on-going costs to provide leadership and technical support to our membership base. The CMF Special Projects category represents projects undertaken through special grants to improve and increase philanthropy in the State ofMichigan. The following projects are included in the Special Projects portion of the budget. Current On-going: • MawbyFund • AllenFund • Escheat Project • Michigan Cares Project • Community Foundation Positioning/Marketing Project • Improving Philanthropy (University Without Walls) Project • Increasing Philanthropy (Outreach to Advisors) Project • Detroit Office New Projects For 1996-97: • CMF Violence • CMF Environment • Community Foundation Dissemination Project Please note that special projects are only undertaken after grant commitments have been awarded /dlindberg/bordmetlc022196fl �2 Highlights of CMF Core Budget Revenues In 1995-96, C:MF instituted a new fee structure which resulted in Member Contributions increasing from $390,000 in 1994-95 to $496,000 in 1995-96. With the recent increase in the membership fee structure we are budgeting only a slight increase in Member Contn"butions for 1996-97. With the 1995 CMF Annual Conference setting an all-time attendance record we have budgeted conference revenue based on the prior years' average attendance. Along with the anticipated decrease in revenue we have budgeted the 1996 Annual Conference on a break-even basis. The publication of the lOth Edition of the Michigan Foundations Directory, in the fall of 1996, is anticipated to increase revenue by approximately $45,000 in 1996-97. Due to the timing of the installation of our new computer system not all of the funds available to complete the Imaging Project will be expended by March 31, 1996. Therefore, for budgeting purposes we have presented the remaining funds available to complete this project as revenue entitled ''Transfers From Prior Year Ending Fund Balance." Administrative Expenses For 1996-97, we have budgeted a wage increase pool of5% over last year's salaries & benefits. With increased efficiencies gained through systems upgrades we anticipate staffing levels to remain at the 1995-96level. 1996-97 promises to be another busy year in the area of computer technology upgrades. As part of management's ongoing analysis we are constantly looking to meet members needs and gain efficiencies through the constantly changing computer technology area. Below you will find a few of the computer projects that are scheduled for the upcoming year. • • • • • Fax On Demand Traveling Computer Lab Archiving CMF Files List Serves Continued Development of the CMF Home Page i/jw/dlindberglexeccomm\cmfOII9a �3 CMF SPECIAL PROJECTS BUDGET NARRATIVE The Special Projects Budget is divided between ongoing special projects and new projects being developed at the request ofMembers. ONGOING I. Mawby Fund In keeping with our 5% spending policy, $50,000 of the $99,000 in projected income is being budgeted for two projects. $25,000 is being budgeted for expenses related to continuing the development ofK-12 curriculum to teach about voluntary participation and giving. Based on the direction ofthe K-12 Steering Committee, Cl\tiF will be applying for major grant support to expand this Project. In addition, staff recommends (with Russ Mawby' s approval of the concept) that the other $25,000 be used to hire four summer interns for the first project of the Mawby Fund for Kids. These college students would primarily be involved in working with Terry Langston and other staff on the July, 1996 Michigan Youth in Philanthropy Conference. Projects supported by the Mawby Fund will be discussed with Ruth & Russ Mawby prior to implementation. ll. Allen Fund Income from the Allen Fund will be needed to support two activities: the February Legislative Trip to Washington, and the cost of giving a copy of the Michigan Foundation Directory to each State Representative, State Senator and each member of Michigan's Congressional Delegation - 227 in total. In order to accomplish these two activities and stay within our 5% spending policy, it will be necessary to also use available income of$3,500 from the fiscal year 1995-96. Because the Directory is produced every other year, only the Washington Legislative Trip will be budgeted in 1997-98. m. Escheats Project Funding will continue to come from the interest remaining on the W.K Kellogg I Community Foundation grant. The projected cost for this project is the $2,500/month retainer for Public Affairs Consultants of Lansing to assist with the advocacy efforts needed to develop this Project with State government. rcollier/budget �4 IV. Michigan CARES Project Revenues for this Project come from the W.K Kellogg Foundation's grant to the Michigan Community Services Commission. The major expenses for this Project are the grants provided to the six participating community foundations and a consultant hired by CMF and loaned to the Commission to staff the project :full time. In addition, we are charging a portion of core staff salaries to this Project. V. Community Foundation Positioning and Marketing Project A new two-year grant for $200,000 is being submitted to the C.S. Mott Foundation along with another $50,000 in matching funds to be raised, to assist with the continuation of this Project. The major expenses will be a continued contract with AED (Academy for Educational Development) in Washington and a new contract with a public relations/marketing firm. VI. Improving Philanthropy (University Without Walls) Project At the completion of the university level non-profit educational resources catalogue, a new grant request for $20,000 will be sought to extend this Project to include private colleges and community colleges in Michigan. Vll. Increasing Philanthropy (Outreach to Advisors) Project In cooperation with The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI) from Boston, recipient of a W.K Kellogg Foundation grant, CMF staff will complete the information gathering phase of this Project by developing resource materials targeted to the special interests of attorneys, accountants, trust officers, and :financial advisors. It is hoped that this Project will continue with a TPI grant to include educational training for these professional groups. The Project budget will increase with the receipt of these additional funds. NEW PROJECTS L Detroit Office Staffing the Detroit Office with a paid part-time professional is a priority for the new fiscal year. A grant proposal for $54,136 will be developed, and support requested from several of our Detroit area members, to he]p fund this position and key support needs, such as phone and meeting expenses. Efforts are underway at this time to identify suitable candidates for this position. rcollier/budget �5 H. CMF Violence Prevention Project A grant proposal for $163,700 has been requested by the C. S. Mott Foundation to fund a Violence Prevention Project aimed at educating Michigan's foundation community about the growing problem of violence in our State and collaborative strategies for addressing this problem. Jeri Fisher, Sandy Katt and Rob Collier will be spending time on this Project. m. CMF Environment Project Two projects have been developed: the Community Foundation Great Lakes Basin Collaborative, involving 10 community foundations and a three-year $1.2 million dollar budget; and the Saginaw Bay Watershed Community Foundation Collaborative, involving four community foundations and a three-year $579,000 budget. Likely revenue sources include the Great Lakes Protection Fund and the C. S. Mott Foundation. While the majority of the funds will be passed through to the community foundations, $17,500 has been allocated for core staff time to administer the grants. IV. Community Foundation Dissemination Project A grant request of$150,000 has been submitted to the W.K Kellogg Foundation to fund six dissemination tools for the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project. The six tools are: a book, booklet, manual, presentations at RAG meetings, a web page, and a video. Four of the tools will be completed by the national Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Conference in July. The grant is likely to be received before the end of the current :fiscal year. The goal of this project is to share the results of the MCFYP project and to encourage others to adopt all or parts of the initiative. rcollier/budget �Council of Michigan Foundations Consolidated Statement of Activity and Changes in Fund Balances April1,1996to March 31,1997 1996-97 Budget >-,__.-/ 6 CMF Core CMF Special Projects REVENUES Member Contributions Additional Member Contributions other Grants Conference Income CMF Annual Conference Publications & Library Services Computer Installment/Loan Fees Transfer From Prior Yr Fund Bal Investment Income Total Revenues $501,000 182,018 0 31,000 209,500 90,030 0 27,780 36,000 1,077,328 $0 $130,000 1,304,777 0 0 0 0 49,000 106,500 1,590,277 $0 0 45,000 103,250 0 0 26,100 0 643,500 817,850 $0 0 900,000 25,000 0 0 0 0 50,000 975,000 $501,000 312,018 1,349,777 134,250 209,500 90,030 26,100 76,780 786,000 3,485,455 ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Salaries & Benefits Occupancy Telephone Equipment Lease & Maintenance Postage Postage - Directory Supplies Insurance Equipment & Furniture Computer Association Dues Books & Subscriptions Publications & Printing Professional & Contracted Services Meetings & Travel Trustee Meetings Training & Seminars Conference & Meeting CMF Annual Conference Mini-Grants Total Administrative 471,380 29,300 18,750 15,080 35,658 0 41,761 3,300 4,000 53,320 7,050 5,000 71,675 36,500 17,830 4,100 5,800 39,282 209,500 0 1,069,286 184,732 4,236 2,000 0 15,000 0 62,200 0 0 7,300 0 4,540 69,088 339,685 45,096 0 0 44,400 0 0 778,277 444,292 6,000 26,000 4,000 16,000 0 24,000 9,000 0 5,000 1,500 4,000 39,325 136,700 71,553 0 3,000 288,752 0 169,875 1,248,997 0 0 6,000 0 6,500 0 9,000 0 0 0 0 0 21,000 237,700 16,000 0 0 25,000 0 0 321,200 1,100,404 39,536 46,750 19,080 66,658 0 127,961 12,300 4,000 65,620 8,550 13,540 180,088 512,885 134,479 4,100 8,800 372,434 209,500 169,875 3,096,560 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 633,000 633,000 3,797,000 0 102,000 316,965 219,676 0 4,435,641 600,000 0 0 0 0 0 600,000 0 3,797,000 0 102,000 316,965 219,676 633,000 5,068,641 8,042 179,000 (4,866,788) 53,800 (4,679,746) 775,435 (27,780) 8,042 $755,697 1,407,974 (49,000} 179,000 $1,537,974 13,610,553 0 (4,866,788) $8,743,765 505,755 0 53,800 $559,555 15,793,962 (76,780) {4,679,746) $11,037,436 MCFYP Michigan AIDS Funds Total GRANTS Challenge Grants Grants Committed Not Paid Affiliation Mini-Grants Computer Grants Computer Loan other Grants Total Grants Excess Revenues Over Expenditures BEGINNING FUND BALANCE Beg Fund Bal Shown as Revenue Above CHANGE IN FUND BALANCE ENDING FUND BALANCE FS96-97.XLS217196sheet9 dlindberg/E8-97bud/ �7 Council of Michigan Foundations Allocation of Staff Wages 1996..97 Budget Position President Vice President of Operations Director of Finance Director of Family SeJVices Director of Conferences & Meetings Director of Independent Foundations Director of Communications & Membership Accounting Support Secretarial Support-Receptionist Data Input & Support Secretarial Support Information Systems Manager Information SeJVices Manager (part-time) CMF 100% 50% 50% 100% 80% 100% 50% 50% 100% 75% 100% 50% 50% Program Director Community Foundations Youth Project Manager Community Foundations Secretarial Support Director of Community Foundations Secretarial Support Youth Project Manager Youth Project Consultant (part-time) UP Consultant (part-time) Computer Consultant (part-time) MCFYP 50% 40% AIDS 10% 20% 50% 40% 10% 25% 50% 50% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% CMF staff consists of 20 individuals (16 full time; 4 part time).

Johnson David R Lindberg Re: Capital Expenditures Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve the purchase of a new copier to be funded (up to $16,000) through a special request to our members. Background: Due to the heavy use that our copier has seen over the past several years and the continued breakdown problems we are having, it has become necessary to look at alternatives to replacing this machine. Because of these problems we are experiencing lost productivity and seeing an increase in our printing cost due to the poor copy quality. Below you will find an analysis of the cost ofleasing a new machine versus buying one. Based on this analysis purchasing the copier outright would be the most cost effective alternative. The costs were based on quotes we received from two separate vendors.

Thurber Re: Indemnification ofNon-Trustee Volunteers Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board ofTrustees approve an amendment to Article X of the Corporation's Bylaws to include indemnification of any non-trustee volunteer member of committees or other approved activities of the Council of Michigan Foundations established by the Board pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in Article X of the Corporation's Bylaws. Background: During the November 7, 1995, Investment Committee meeting the issue ofliability coverage for non-trustee committee members was discussed. Legal counsel, Duane Tamacki, noted that Article X of the Corporate Bylaws provides liability coverage to Officers and Trustees of the Council ofMichigan Foundations and that Article X would need to be amended by the Board of Trustees to extend this coverage to non-trustee volunteers. Mr..Tamacki also noted that Article X states that in order for the committee members or volunteers to receive the indemnification coverage, they must act in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Council ofMichigan Foundations. See excerpt of Article X attached. dlindberglbordmet/cmf/m022196b �2 BY-LAWS OF COUNCIL OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS Excerpt: With Proposed Amendment ARTICLE X.

Box 599 Grand Haven, Michigan 49417 Re: Permanent Fund Investment Guidelines Dear Dave: ,~,..· You have asked that we describe the protections against personal liability provided to members of CMF's Investment Committee. We understand there was some discussion at a recent Executive Committee meeting concerning language that appears at the end of CMF's Permanent Fund Investment Guidelines that states: Except for fraud, deceit, misfeasance or malfeasance, the members of the Investment Committee and their successors shall not be personally liable for any iosses that the Permanem Fund may sustain. You have asked to what extent this language affects the potential liability of committee members and whether it is appropriate for inclusion in the policy. Essentially, there are three prongs of protection for Investment Committee members: corporate indemnification; the statutory limitation on liability; and director and officer liability insurance coverage. None of these safeguards provides complete protection, nor are they mutually exclusive. Thus, any analysis of potential liability is incomplete unless all three prongs are considered. Each of these is described below: 1. Corporate indemnification. Article X of the corporation's bylaws state that CMF will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, "indemnify" (i.e., reimburse) any Trustee or officer and, to the extent provided in a resolution of the Board or by contract, may indemnify any employee or agent of the corporation who is or may be 856135942 186869.1 or n.~ liAR or IUJfltOIS ....,. �CLARK, KLEIN & BEAUMONT, P.L.C. 4 Mr. Dave Lindberg October 18, 1995 Page2 subject to potential liability. Thus, the indemnification of trustees and officers of CMF is mandatory; the indemnification of employees or agents (which should include volunteer committee members) is at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. If the Board wishes to provide mandatory indemnification to committee members, it should adopt a resolution so providing. We note further that this indemnification language was added to the corporate bylaws in 1992. In 1993, the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act was amended to make reference to the indemnification of nondirector volunteers, a term which would include the nontrustee members of the investment committee. We recommend that the bylaws be amended to specifically reference nondirector volunteers as being eligible for indemnification together with employees and agents. We make this recommendation for two reasons: first, to make the bylaw language consistent with the statutory language; and, second, to resolve any doubt as to whether the Board intends to permit indemnification of nondirector volunteers. 2. The statutory limitation on liability. CMF's Articles of Incorporation were amended in December 1993 to add Article IX which provides a limitation on personal liability of nondirector volunteers pursuant to the amendments to the Michigan nonprofit Corporation Act adopted in 1993. To be eligible for the protection, a volunteer is required to have been acting in good faith and within the scope of his or her authority and not be liable for gross negligence, willful misconduct or an intentional tort. Thus, all members of the Investment Committee have the protection of the statutory limitation on liability. 3. Director and officer liability insurance coverage. We have reviewed the D&O insurance policy issued by The Cincinnati Insurance Company. Endorsement No. 3 provides that "volunteers" are included within the definition of "Directors and Officers" and are, therefore, insured parties under the policy. Accordingly, members of the Investment Committee are covered by CMFs D&O policy, subject to its terms and conditions. With regard to the provision in the Investment Guidelines concerning Investment Committee liability, we offer the following analysis. The Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act ("UMIFA") as adopted in Michigan provides guidelines for the management and use of investments held by charitable institutions. UMIFA provides a standard of care for Board members or committee members to whom the Board has delegated investment authority. It requires those individuals to exercise ordinary business care and prudence under the facts and circumstances prevailing at the time of the action or decision. In exercising ordinary business care and prudence, the individual must consider the long and short term needs of the institution in carrying out its charitable purposes, its present and anticipated financial requirements, expected total return on its investments, price level trends, and general economic conditions. It is 856/35942 186869.1 �CLARK, KLEIN & BEAUMONt, P.L.C. · Mr. Dave Lindberg 5 October 18, 1995 Page 3 generally believed that this "prudent Director" standard of care is less stringent and more appropriate than the traditional "prudent man rule" applicable to private trustees. The last paragraph of CMF' s Investment Policy provides that Investment Committee members will not be personally liable for any losses unless there is fraud, deceit, misfeasance or malfeasance. We believe that this paragraph was originally intended to give some measure of comfort to committee members that they would not be liable for investment losses in the ordinary course. However, inclusion of this provision in the Investment Policy does not change the standard of care which is imposed by Michigan law through UMIFA. The standard of care set forth in UMIFA is certainly as favorable as (and may be more favorable than) the language in the Investment Policy. Accordingly, we see no reason for retaining the language in the investment policy and suggest it be deleted. In conclusion, we suggest the following actions. If the Board of Trustees desires to provide mandatory indemnification to members of the Investment Committee, it should adopt a resolution doing so. Article X of the Bylaws should be amended to include a reference to nondirector volunteers. CMF's Articles of Incorporation currently provide the statutory limitation on liability to Investment Committee members as nondirector volunteers. The D&O insurance policy also covers the committee members as "volunteers." The paragraph in CMF's Investment Policy addressing committee member liability should be eliminated. If you have any questions, please give us a call. Sincerely yours, CLARK, KLEIN &BEAUMONT, P.L.C. Duane L.

Smith, Conference Chair Re: 24th Annual Conference On January 19, 1996 the Executive Committee agreed to move the location of the 24th Annual CMF Conference from the Flint Radisson to the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids and to hold the Conference one week earlier, October 30-November 1. Based on the current conditions of the Flint Radisson, it was determined to be in the best interest of the CMF membership to delay our return to Flint until extensive renovation is completed. We have tentatively booked the Flint Radisson for November 1998. The first meeting of the 24th Annual CMF Conference Program Committee was held on Friday, January 26, 1996. The Committee had a lively discussion on potential themes centering around the ''Heart ofPhilanthropy." It was decided that the sub-committee comprised ofDorothy A. Johnson, Robert S. Collier, Robert E. Hencey and Sandra G. Katt would take the ideas and work up a title that would encompass the many fine suggestions. A multitude of excellent speakers have been suggested and inquiries are being made as to availability and price. As a result of support from the C.S. Mott Foundation, one of the plenary sessions will focus on the issue ofviolence prevention with keynote speakers Cornel West, Professor of Afro-American Studies, Harvard University and Sylvia Ann Hewlett, founder, National Parenting Association and co-chair, along with Cornel West of the National Task Force on Youth Violence. An invitation has been extended to Jane Fonda and Ted Turner to address the Donors Platform and we are awaiting word on their availability. We are looking at offering a menu of several mini-plenary sessions on Thursday morning and late afternoon. Areas of interest that emerged include effects of government devolution, the Michigan Trends Future Report, violence prevention, economic development, community development, education, women & philanthropy, ethics, trusteeship, and youth and philanthropy. Technical sessions such as investment seminar, grantmaking basics, foundation management, accountability and evaluation are being developed. A complete schedule of sessions, times and events will be shared with the Board at the June meeting. �---------- -- 2 We are delighted and grateful that Bob and Judy Hooker, Trustees of the Robert L. & Judith S. Hooker Foundation, have agreed to chair the Host Committee. The fust meeting of the Host Committee is set for early April to begin making plans for the conference host activities. We have received several exciting suggestions and are anxious to share them with the new committee. More details to follow in June. The conference flyer announcing the date and theme will be mail in mid-March to CEO's, trustees, corporate giving offices, staff members, investment officers, attorneys, donors and volunteers. sgk/bd/con.f22l � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson David R Lindberg Re: December 31, 1995 Financial Report With the formation ofthe Finance Committee in October 1995, and the installation of a new financial software package, CMF has continued to revise the financial reporting package presentation for the Board. On a quarterly basis the Finance Committee will be performing a detailed analysis of the individual financial statements ofCMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund. As you review the enclosed financial statements you will note that the narratives focus on the Council ofMichigan Foundations along with the Allen and the Mawby Funds. The MCFYP and Michigan AIDS Fund numbers are presented for informational purposes, with the responsibility of the approval ofthese statements falling within their respective Boards' authority. Consolidated Balance Sheet During the month ofNovember 1995, CMF was successful in reaching its goal of raising $500,000 for the Mawby Fund. This has resulted in the receipt of the first installment ($100,000) of the $500,000 matching grant from the Herbert H. & Grace A Dow Foundation in December. In addition, the W.K Kellogg Foundation has contributed an additional $500,000 towards the Ruth & Russ Mawby Fund For Kids, which will be treated as part of the Mawby Fund. The majority of the "Accounts Receivable" balance represents contributions anticipated to be received for the 1995 CMF Annual Conference Host Committee. "Accrued Grants Payable" is a new category that was added at the request of the MCFYP and Michigan AIDS Fund Boards of Trustees. This category represents grants, that have been approved by the Boards of Trustees, which are committed to be paid out in future periods. The purpose of this category is to give the Board of Trustees a clearer picture of the current balance of non-committed funds. In September MCFYP transferred $86,326 to CMF to pay for the Imaging Project. This transfer was budgeted for fiscal year 1995-96. You will note that this transfer is reflected in the line item ''Transfers From Other Funds." Directly below this line you will note the line entitled ''Imaging Project" which represents year-to-date expenditures for this project. dl.indber!¥1Joardmctcmflmt022196 �2 Consolidated Statement of Activity and Changes in Fund Balances MCFYP received an early distribution from the W.K Kellogg Foundation of$3.4 million for the WKKF ill project. This money was originally anticipated to be received in fiscal years 1996-97 and 1997-98. Kellogg advanced these funds in order that additional interest income could be earned to help :fund community foundation programming past the year 2000 (which is the final year of the Kellogg project). CMF General Operating & Endowment Funds Statement of Activities As you review the CMF Operating & Endowment Funds Statement of Activities you will note that we have added a column entitled 1995-96 Projected. After careful analysis management has projected the anticipated final results for fiscal year 1995-96. Revenues Prior to the start of fiscal year 1995-96, CMF instituted a new membership fee structure which, along with the addition of 22 new members, resulted in our Member Contn"butions increasing from $390,000 in 1994-95 to $496,000 projected for fiscal year 1995-96. "Additional Member Contributions Mawby & Allen" includes $100,000 from the Dow Foundation and $500,000 from the W.K Kellogg Foundation. Due to the tremendous success of the CMF Annual Conference, registration fees exceeded management's original expectations. As ofDecember 31, 1995, it appears the Annual Conference will generate a surplus of approximately $15,000. Other Grants includes the following receipts: Michigan Cares I Michigan Cares II Civil Rights Grant Increasing Philanthropy (Outreach Advisors) Project $246,900 $105,000 $4,800 $26,500 Expenses Occupancy Costs are anticipated to be above budget due to CMF' s share of the repair to the office building air conditioning unit. To further increase sales of the Michigan Foundation Directory, a special marketing mailing was instituted in June. This special mailing resulted in unbudgeted postage of $13,000. As ofDecember 31, 1995, an additional $22,000 in Directory sales has been generated. dlindberglboardmetcmflmt022196 1):, �3 The Michigan Cares TI Project, which was awarded to CMF in November 1995, is anticipated to have printing costs of$10,000. These costs will be funded by the grant income received for this project. The Michigan Cares TI and Community Foundation Positioning/Marketing projects are anticipated to have contracted service expenses of$35,000. Both of these projects are being funded from unbudgeted grants awarded during 1995-96. $5,000 was contn"buted to the New York Community Trust to work on the FASB 116 & 117 Task Force and $5,000 was contn"buted to the United Way Tax Incentive project. Both of these projects will be funded out of the interest earnings from Kellogg I. Due to the formation of additional committees and growth that CMF has enjoyed over the past several years in membership, meeting and travel costs have increased. "Other Grants" are for the Michigan Cares projects and the Civil Rights Grant which were funded through current year receipts. In order to allow proper time to evafu.ate a new computer system to handle the Imaging Project and remote access system, work on the imaging project was delayed until September 1995. As a result, not all of the budgeted labor for this project will be expensed during fiscal year 1995-96. Therefore, approximately $27,000 of the $86,326 anticipated to be expensed in 1995-96, will be carried over into 1996-97 to complete this project. dlin.dberglboaxdmetcmf/mt022196 II J �4 Council of Michigan Foundations & Supporting Organizations Consolidated Balance Sheet As of December 31, 1995 '~ Council of Michigan Foundations William Allen Mawby Council of Endowment Michigan Endowment Fund Fund Foundations ASSETS Cash Investments Due From other Funds Furniture & Equipment Accumulated Depree Net Furniture & Equip Prepaid Expenses Accounts Receivable Total Assets LIABILITIES Accounts Payable other Payables Accrued Grants Payable Total Liabilities $20,899 590,230 $81,233 (113,201) (839) $929,856 169,438 0 630,976 0 0 89,967 $1,218,871 $80,394 $1,099,294 104,221 3,546 $1,486 841,077 (4,716) $23,835 19,616,182 0 0 0 915,897 (284,921) 630,976 0 0 125,500 0 215,467 $17,124,554 $963,347 $20,486,460 500 11,422 116,143 3,896 3,877,432 3,997,471 350 3,396,022 3,396,522 481,410 493,182 357,799 15,384,120 (86,326) 503,401 9,877 741,495 (1 ,569,762) (33,236) 17,516,540 0 (53,700) (973,851) 1,111,104 80,394 1,099,294 13,728,032 470,165 16,488,989 $1,218,871 $80,394 $1,099,294 $17,124,554 $963,347 $20,486,460 0 FUND BALANCE Beginning Fund Balance Transfers From other Funds Imaging Project Change In Fund Balance 1,200,703 86,326 (53,700) (122,225) 70,517 Total Fund Balance dlindbergf95..95F Iii! $1,450 17,173,786 (50,682) Total 915,897 0 FS123195.XLS217J96sheet1 AIDS Fund MCFYP ~84,921} 107,767 Total Liabilities & Fund Balance I I I Supporting Organizations Michigan �5 ' Council of Michigan Foundations & Supporting Organizations Consolidated Statement of Activity and Changes in Fund Balances 4-01-95 to 12-31-95 ~ Council of Michigan Foundations Mall\by William Allen EndOV\ment Endo!MTlent Core Fund Fund o~:erations REVENUES Member Contributions Additional Member Contributions Additl Member Contrib.
