Kellogg Foundation William R. Rush, Mt. Pleasant Community Foundation Richard Y. St. John, Kalamazoo Foundation Peter P. Thurber, David M. Whitney Fund Robert S. Collier, CMF Vice President Dorothy A Johnson, CMF President �2 Issues discussed included the Budget Reconciliation Bill (which includes giving appreciated stock to private foundations provision and a foundation common fund), the Flat Tax, Istook Amendment, Charitable Gift Annuity Bill, and of course the congressmen's interests. There was support for including the charitable gift deduction in any flat tax legislation. CMF was part of a national delegation of Regional Associations of Grantmakers which visited 54 Congressional offices (including Michigan) in collaboration with the Council on Foundations. State News Mariam Noland, Jack Hopkins, and Dottie Johnson met with Senator Bill Schuette to discuss a proposal whereby Michigan community foundations would receive a portion of the state escheat funds annually. He is planning to sponsor a bill, following our meeting with the Governor, if Governor Engler is supportive. This issue will not be widely discussed until we learn of the Governor's interest. ·~./ On February 12th, CMF, with the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Michigan Nonprofit Association, will sponsor an invitational meeting, "New Partnerships in Michigan." Eighty-five of our state's nonprofit, business, government, and religious leaders (including 17 CMF members) will join Governor John Engler and First Lady Michelle Engler in sharing ideas and discussing ways to collaborate and cooperate in support of citizen-driven volunteer community problem-solving. Inspiration for this meeting was provided by the late Governor George Romney, who argued that in order to address our serious social problems and reconnect our communities, the four sectors had to come together in a renewed spirit of cooperation. We look forward to sharing results from the meeting. i:ewp:committee/brdtrst/96brdtll � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby, Chairman, Improving Philanthropy Committee Linda B. Patterson, Improving Philanthropy Director Re: Improving Philanthropy Project Update The K-12 Education 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. W. Calvin Patterson, III, is serving as staff for the project, and a "Curriculum Sub-committee," chaired by Kathryn A. Agard, Executive Vice President of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County, has been established to advise the process of establishing targeted teaching units and piloting the products in selected classrooms. At its December 12, 1995 meeting, the Steering Committee ofthe K-12 Education Project unanimously adopted the following recommendations of the Curriculum Sub-committee, which held its meeting on December 1, 1995: • The Steering Committee of the Council ofMichigan Foundations' K-12 Education Project endorses the concept of teaching philanthropy (voluntary participation and giving) within the basic curriculum of the K-12 school systems in Michigan. • The Steering Committee of the Council ofMichigan Foundations' K-12 Education Project endorses a pilot approach, beginning with the social studies curriculum, of at least two teaching units being taught within each of four major grade groupings - early elementary, upper elementary, middle school and high school. • The Steering Committee ofthe Council ofMichigan Foundations' K-12 Education Project will keep the Michigan Department of Education informed about the K-12 Education Project and offer its assistance in creating implementation and assessment tools for the seventh Social Studies Core Curriculum Standard, CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT. The committees are scheduled to meet next on March 1 and May 1, 1996 respectively.

The income/unit that may be spent shall not exceed 5% of the previous five year's average fair market/unit value of the individual endowment funds assets as measured on March 31 of each year. Following the approval of the above spend.ing policy and after careful analysis the Investment Committee approved the follow.ing asset allocation target for the CMF endowment funds. Equities Fixed Income Cash Equivalents 65%-75% 25%-30% 0%- 5% After reviewing the objectives of the Russell G. Mawby Fund, along with the cash flow projections and anticipated market returns of 1996, the Committee has targeted a goal of 50% equities by June 30, 1996.

Johnson RobertS. Collier Re: 1996-1997 Plan of Work Enclosed is the proposed Plan of Work for our fiscal year 1996-1997, reviewed and approved for presentation to the full Board by the Executive Committee at its meeting on January 19, 1996 The objectives and activities descn'bed in the Plan ofWork are based on our six program goals and the support goal of Administration, Finance and Membership. We feel that this is an exciting Plan with a number of innovative new activities, designed for a core budget which this year has little room for growth. Several of the new activities are contingent on receiving special funding from members. We are pleased that CMF is continuing to be asked to take on special projects by our members. In order to reduce the amount of reading material provided to the Board, staff have focused the Plan ofWork on the principal activities of our organization and planned new activities. The new activities start each section and are presented in bold type. The routine daily activities that we do as a matter of course are not included in this document. However, they are included in our internal plan - the 89 page version. Fax-on-demand, a mobile computer lab, and E-Mail Listservs are three examples of the tools that staff will be using as we strive to efficiently respond to members needs. With potential special projects on violence prevention, the environment, child care, and community foundation marketing, CMF will continue to fulfill our mission to increase and improve philanthropy in Michigan. We look forward to discussing this Plan ofWork with you at the Board Meeting on the 21st. i:rcollier/plancov �Proposed Plan of Work for the Council of Michigan Foundations April1, 1996 - March 31, 1997 �( ( ( MISSION The Council of Michigan Foundations is an association of foundations and corporations which make grants for charitable purposes.

Johnson Re: Audit & Finance Committee Report Resolved: That Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve the Ernst & Young audited Combined Financial Statements and Other Financial Information for the Council of Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The Audit and Finance Committee met with Ernst & Young on May 23, 1996 to review the March 31, 1996, Combined Financial Statements and Letter ofRecommendations. Paul Brazda, partner with Ernst & Young, reviewed the audited financial statements with the Audit & Finance Committee noting that the CMF staff had done a fine job of preparing the necessary information that Ernst & Young required prior to the start of field work. Mr. Brazda noted that FASB 116 & 117 had a significant impact on the audited financial statements, which has been highlighted later in this memo. Following the review ofthe Ernst & Young audited financial statements, the Audit & Finance Committee approved the following resolution. Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the Audit & Finance Committee recommend approval to the Council ofMichigan Foundations' Board of Trustees the Ernst & Young audited Combined Financial Statements and Other Financial Information for the Council of Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 be approved as presented. . . Mr. Brazda then reviewed the Letter of Recommendations noting that during the audit they found no material weaknesses in the internal control procedures. Mr. Brazda also stated that the items noted in the letter were directed toward the new FASB 116 & 117 pronouncements and SFAS No. 124 which deals with reporting requirements of certain investments held by not-for-profit organizations. SFAS No. 124 will become effective for the year ending March 31, 1997. The following pages highlights FASB 116 &117 and the their affect on the audited financial statements, along with a fluctuation memo which explains major differences from the prior year numbers. dlindberg!Boardmet/cmf/m060796b �2 Financial Accounting Standards #116 Overview • Unconditional promises to give or receive cash or other assets are to be recognized at fair value in the period the promise is made. 1. Accounts Receivable 2. Grants Payable • Unconditional promises to give or expected to be collected in more than one year should be recorded/discounted to present value of future cash flows. • Conditional promises are recorded as assets or liabilities when the condition has been met. Financial Accounting Standards #117 Overview • Establishes three categories of net assets (fund balance). 1. Permanently Restricted Endowment Funds (Mawby & Allen Funds) 2. Temporarily Restricted a. MCFYP b. Michigan AIDS Fund and c. CMF Special Projects Grants 3. Unrestricted Note: Restrictions must be donor imposed. Restrictions that are placed on the funds by the Board of Trustees are not classified as restricted assets. • Financial statements required. 1. Balance Sheet 2. Statement of Activities and Changes in Fund Balance and 3. Statement of Cash Flows (new). dlindberg/Boardmet/cmf/m060796b �3 FASB 116 Effect on Net Assets Below we have highlighted the major effect ofFASB 116 on the net assets ofCMF and its supporting organizations as ofMarch 31, 1996. $145,300 Increase Accrue Kellogg grant for the Dissemination Project. $418,000 Increase Accrue Mawby Fund pledges outstanding at 3-31-96. MCFYP $5,992,000 Increase Accrue remaining funds to be received from Kellogg for the WKKF ill project. $768,000 Increase Accrue only those challenge grants that have met their match as of3-31-96 and have not been paid. For the internal statements we accrue all board approved grants that are unpaid as of3-31-96 including those that have not met their match. Michigan AIDS Fund $554,500 Increase Accrue three year grant commitment. dlindberg!Boardmet/cmf/m060796b �4 Fluctuation Analysis For The Years Ended March 31, 1996 & 1995 The attached financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FASB 116 and 117. The March 31, 1995, comparison numbers have been restated to reflect the effects ofFASB 116 & 117. Combined Balance Sheet Grants and Contributions Receivable: Approximately $6,000,000 of this balance represents the remaining funds due MCFYP from the W.K Kellogg Foundation for the WKKF ill project. Approximately $550,000 of the remaining balance represents funds due the Michigan AIDS Fund for a three-year grant commitment and $416,000 represents pledges for the Russell Mawby Fund. The decrease from the prior year is due to funds received from Kellogg for the WKKF ill project during the current year. Fixed Assets: Fixed assets increased by $131,000 due to the purchase of additional office space during 1995-96. The donation of a car to CMF increased equipment by $39,000. Accounts Payable: The increase is due to the timing ofthe payment of invoices at year-end. Grants Payable: The increase from the prior year is due to the increase in the MCFYP Challenge grants due at March 31, 1996. Deferred Revenue: The increase from the prior year is due to the receipt of a member's 1996-97 membership dues by March 31, 1996. dlindberg/Boardmet/cmf/m060796b �5 Combined Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets Member Contributions: The increase from the prior year is due to an adjustment in CMF' s membership fee structure for 1995-96. Grants & Other Contributions: Recording of the entire W.K Kellogg Foundation grant commitment for WKKF ill during the prior year accounted for the majority of the decrease. Contributions to the Mawby Fund during 1995-96 accounted for the increase in the permanently restricted funds. dlindberg!Boardmet/cmf/m060796b �West Michigan Practice ill ERNST &YOUNG LLP • Suite 1000 171 Monroe Avenue, N .W.

Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of the specific internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Council of Michigan Foundations' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opmwn. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Council of Michigan Foundations and supporting organizations at March 31, 1996 and 199 5, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

During fiscal 1994, the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) became supporting organizations of CMF under the provisions of Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The accompanying financial statements of CMF have been prepared on a combined basis to include its affiliated supporting organizations, because CMF's Board of Trustees exercises significant control over these organizations through the appointment of board members for each of these organizations. Investments Investments consist of money market funds, U.S. Government securities and mutual funds. All investments are carried at estimated fair market value, using quoted market prices when available. Realized gains and losses and unrealized increases or decreases resulting from changes in the market value of investments are included annually in investment income in the statements of activities and changes in net assets. The realized gain or loss on the sale of investments is the difference between the proceeds received and the basis of specific investments sold. Fixed Assets Fixed assets, which are composed of office space, furniture and equipment, are stated at estimated market value at the date donated or at cost if purchased. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. 7 �Council of Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Change in Accounting Principles and Presentation During fiscal 1996, CMF adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SF AS) No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, and No. 117, Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations, and applied these standards retroactively. SFAS No. 117 establishes standards for external financial reporting by notfor-profit organizations and requires that resources be classified for accounting and reporting purposes into net asset categories according to externally (donor) imposed restrictions or the lack thereof (i.e., unrestricted, temporarily restricted or permanently restricted). SFAS No. 116 requires that unconditional promises received from donors be recorded as receivables and revenues in the year in which the promises are received. Promises made (e.g., grants) by CMF are recorded as an expense and a liability when approved by the governing boards of CMF and its supporting organizations, if unconditional, or when the condition is met by the recipient, if conditional. CMF has restated its net asset balances (formerly fund balances) as of April 1, 1994 and adopted the new classifications for the fiscal 1995 financial statements to conform to the accounting and financial reporting requirements of SFAS No. 116 and No. 117. The adoption of SFAS No. 117 changed the classifications, terminology, format and overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 116 and No. 117 increased the change in net assets previously reported for the year ended March 31, 1995 by approximately $2,800,000 and increased the April 1, 1994 net asset balance by approximately $23,100,000. Net Asset Classifications The three net asset groups used for reporting purposes in the accompanying combined financial statements are as follows: Unrestricted Net Assets- Reflect assets which have not been restricted as to use by donors. Certain of these assets have been designated by the governing boards of CMF and its supporting organizations to be used for a specific purpose. Temporarily Restricted Net Assets-Reflect contributed assets whose use by CMF and its supporting organizations has been limited by donors for a specific time period or purpose. 8 �Council of Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Net Asset Classifications (continued) Permanently Restricted Net Assets-Reflect contributions with donor-imposed restrictions which do not expire and which allow, in certain cases, only the income earned thereon to be expended. Reclassifications Certain amounts reported in the fiscal 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1996 presentation. Note B-Supporting Organizations Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project The Michigan Community Foundations' youth activity commenced in 1988 and was funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. This activity is aimed at encouraging youth development in local communities while strengthening community foundation leadership and grant-making capacity. CMF has acted as administrator of the original project, with all grant monies received from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation being distributed to community foundation members under conditions defined by the grant agreement. The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) was incorporated in November 1993, with a separate Board of Trustees to oversee the grant-making activities of the project. Since MCFYP's incorporation, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation has committed to transfer approximately $32,500,000 ($24,700,000 of which has been received through fiscal 1996) to the supporting organization for complete administration of MCFYP and grant-making activities. MCFYP received an additional $2,600,000 grant from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation to provide funds for the computerization of Michigan's community foundations, support for foundations which assume responsibility for assisting small affiliate community foundations in their development, and extended support for the youth project, including camp subsidies and national leadership conference funding. 9 �Council of Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) Note B-Supporting Organizations (continued) Michigan AIDS Fund CMF formed the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) for the purpose of managing and administering revenues and expenses of a collaborative funding grant program previously administered by CMF, which acts as a vehicle for CMF members and others to cooperatively fund AIDS-related projects in Michigan. MAF was incorporated in November 1993, with a separate Board of Trustees, appointed by CMF, to oversee the growing activities and grant-making responsibilities of this program. Note C-Endowment Funds CMF has two endowment funds. The principal amounts of these Funds have been permanently restricted by their donors, whereas the investment income earned on the assets of these Funds is temporarily restricted for the stated purpose of each Fund. Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy The Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy was established during fiscal 1995 to honor Dr. Mawby's contributions to Michigan philanthropy. Dr. Mawby, former Chairman and CEO of theW. K. Kellogg Foundation, was one of the founders of the Council of Michigan Foundations and served as its first Chairman in 1972. The purpose of this Fund is to improve and increase philanthropy by continuing and expanding CMF's efforts to enhance philanthropy and increase charitable resources. During fiscal 1996, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation contributed $500,000 to the Fund for the Ruth & Russ Mawby Fund For Kids with the expressed purpose of improving and increasing philanthropy through youth involvement in the State of Michigan. Permanently restricted net assets ofthis Fund were $1,474,592 and $445,700 at March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. William W Allen Endowment Fund The purpose of this Fund is to further the understanding of private philanthropy in federal and state legislative and regulatory matters. The endowment was established with restricted contributions from the member foundations of CMF given in honor of a former CMF board member who was also the first Government Relations Chairman. Permanently restricted net assets of this Fund were $70,537 and $70,517 at March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 10 �Council of Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) NoteD-Investments Investments are presented in the combined financial statements at their aggregate market value and are composed ofthe following: 1996 U.S. Government securities Money market funds Equity mutual funds Bond mutual funds Totals 1995 Cost Market Cost Market $ 9,944,036 6,771,991 770,799 28,925 $17,515,751 $ 9,997,515 6,771,991 819,402 27,994 $17,616,902 $10,662,109 6,357,882 45,057 30,749 $17,095,797 $10,630,020 6,357,882 46,242 27,679 $17,061,823 Note E-Grants and Contributions Receivable CMF's grants and contributions receivable consist of unconditional promises receivable as follows: March 31 1996 1995 Receivable in less than one year Receivable in one to five years Less present value discount at prime (8.25% and 9% at March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively) Net contributions receivable $ 555,266 8,445,798 9,001,064 $ 4,694,667 7,793,098 12,487,765 (1,884,751) $7,116,313 (2,442,547) $10,045,218 An unconditional promise represents a promise made by grantors/contributors to give specified amounts to CMF in the future which are not contingent on CMF performing any specific substantive actions (e.g., raising matching amounts). 11 �Council of Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) Note F-Management Services Agreement An administrative services agreement exists between CMF and its supporting organizations. The administrative agreement requires CMF to provide executive, management, administrative and other such services that the supporting organizations may require. The amounts of these services charged to the supporting organizations are eliminated in the preparation of the combined financial statements. II Note G-Federal Tax Status The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that CMF is a public charity, as described in Sections 509(a)(l) and 170(b)(l)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service has also ruled that the two supporting organizations, MCFYP and MAF, are exempt from federal income tax as specified under the provisions of Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. - 12 �S!J ERNST & YOUNG LLP West Michigan Practice • Suite 1000 171 Monroe Avenue, N .W.

Corporate Survey ---- Colleen D. Keast Committee Chair The Council of Michigan Foundations is undertaking a Member Corporate Needs Assessment. Nine corporate volunteers have agreed to make six telephone calls each to CMF corporate members to discuss CMF' s mission, services administered and their level of priority, and topics ofvalue. A sample of one ofthe questions which will be posed to the corporate members will be to "Describe what you consider to be the three most valuable services you receive from CMF." Volunteers include: Leo J. Brennan, Jr., Ford Motor Company Fund Anne DeBoer, Dow Corning Foundation R. Sue Dodea, Kelly Services, Inc. Foundation Lynn Feldhouse, Chrysler Corporation Fund Karla Hall, Comerica, Inc. Colleen D. Keast, The Whirlpool Foundation Susan Kelly, Hudson's Dennis Marvin, Consumers Power Kate P. Wolters, Steelcase Foundation The survey can be completed within I 0-minutes. Volunteers will begin making calls in early June. We will have the results by the end of the month, and look forward to moving ahead with concrete plans to announce to our corporate members at the fall conference. Community Foundation Positioning & Marketing Project .--·------- Jack Hopkins Committee Chair CMF has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the C.S. Mott Foundation to support Phase III ofthe Positioning and Marketing Project. Phase III involves the testing of public relations and donor product materials to address the goals of expanding awareness �2 among untapped donors of the role that community foundations play and thereby increase the use of common donor products offered by all community foundations in the state. Phase ill will focus on two largely-untapped target donor groups, living in three distinct regions of the state: people of wealth (untapped) and women with hidden wealth, both having been identified in the Phases I and IT research. The Project Committee is meeting monthly with consultant John Killpack from the Academy for Educational Development in Washington. Research with current and potential donors is ongoing, and the plan is to select the marketing firm for Phase ill by the end of July. A letter of invitation has been recently sent to more than 30 firms, primarily based in Michigan Resource Paper - The Sale ofNon-Profit Hospital Assets to For-Profit Corporations Dorothy A. Johnson CMF President CMF is publishing a 19-page resource document on the philanthropic options for community decision-makers considering the sale of a nonprofit hospital. As you know, the past decade has seen changes in the health care marketplace beyond the expectations of even the most far-sighted hospital board member. If the nonprofit hospital's status changes - - as in the case of sale to a for-profit corporation - - the assets, under law, must be given to the public. This document is intended as a concise overview of philanthropic options, considering a change of status. It takes no position, but outlines options, the pros and cons of each, and examples. In this time of change, the Council of Michigan Foundations is committed to providing timely information and support to philanthropic entities. Those serving on the advisory committee and providing counsel to the project included: Kathryn A. Agard, Community Foundation for Muskegon County; Hunter Applewhite, Community Foundation Serving Richmond and Central Virginia; Mary Backley, Grantmakers in Health; Roy Baron, Greater Kansas City Community Foundation; Dalene Bradford, Greater Kansas City Community Foundation; Joe Breiteneicher, The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc.; Thomas A. Bruce, W.K. Kellogg Foundation; Peter Dunn, Council on Foundations; Robert F. Glaser, Independence Community Foundation; Peggy Hamilton, Four County Foundation; �3 Brenda Hunt, The Battle Creek Community Foundation; Glenn Kossick, Metro Health Foundation; Jane Nober, Council on Foundations; Mariam C. Noland, Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan; Anne Rosewame, Michigan Health Council; David Seman, Michigan Hospital Association; Ira Strumwasser, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation; and Duane L. Tarnacki, Clark Hill P.L.C. Attorneys at Law. The paper was authored by M~ Cohen, a health-care writer and consultant. It is our plan to give each C:.MF member a complimentary copy, as well as single copies to health entities considering their options. Additional copies will be sold. Funding for the paper was made available by the Mawby Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy in Michigan. Romney Fund Volunteer Collaborative Donnell S. Mersereau C:.MF Program Director Community Foundations The Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Volunteer Centers ofMichigan have announced the creation of the George W. Romney Fund to increase and improve volunteerism in Michigan. With a goal of$1.5 million, the endowment fund, named for Michigan's former governor, will distribute money to benefit local volunteer centers and innovative volunteer programming throughout Michigan. $750,000 will be endowed for volunteer projects across the state and $750,000 will be distributed to local volunteer centers to establish their own endowment funds in their local community foundations. Every Volunteer Center that sets up an endowment fund with a community foundation has the potential of pulling down $25,000 from the $750,000 Romney Endowment. These endowed funds will be supplemented by a one-to-one cash match raised at the local level. Specifics on the George W. Romney Fund for Volunteerism in Michigan will be distributed to community foundations with volunteer centers in their geographic service area in the near future. TheW. K. Kellogg Foundation has contributed $750,000. --- -------- �4 Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project National Conference Patricia B.

Collier CMF Vice President & COO As a result of the Governor's February New Partnerships meeting, co-sponsored by the Michigan Community Service Commission, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and CMF, in February and June, the Corporation for National Service has awarded a special grant of 18 VISTA volunteers to Michigan. The primary purpose of the VISTAs will be to facilitate communication, collaboration, and cooperation among the nonprofit, business, religious and public sectors in support of citizen-driven community service problem-solving efforts. The focus ofthe collaborative efforts will be on low-income youth. The VISTAs will be recruited through MNA and operate in teams of three in six sites. CMF is working with the Commission and MNA in the selection of the sites, several of which may be community foundations involved with Michigan CARES . This project also has the potential to assist CMF with the development of a community foundation in the Roscommon area, one of the last underserved counties in the state. Kindergarten through High School Education in Philanthropy Curriculum Development Russell G. Mawby Chair K-12 Committee Kathryn A Agard Chair, K-12 Curriculum Subcommittee The Council of Michigan Foundations, in conjunction with its partner-organizations, hopes to sponsor a five-year project for the development and integration of the teaching of philanthropy and volunteerism within the curriculum of kindergarten through senior high school educational systems in Michigan. The total cost of the project is approximately $3 million, and it involves nine statewide organizations which have participated in the project's development, and remain committed to helping its success. Russell G. Mawby chairs theK-12 Committee, and Kathryn A Agard, the K-12 Curriculum Subcommittee. Cal Patterson has provided staff assistance to the project he initiated while a CMF Trustee, as well as has Linda Patterson, CMF Director. A list of Committee Members follows. The educational philosophy, curriculum guides, unit support, teaching preparation materials, in-service process, and the educational assessment tools developed, will be easily exportable to classrooms throughout the United States. They may also be useful for assisting teachers in emerging democracies help philanthropy become fundamental to the social values of their countries. Model teaching materials would help these countries develop culturally-appropriate curriculum for these social theories and civic beliefs. �6 This proposal is offered following over a year's deliberation by the Kindergarten through 12th Grade Curriculum Subcommittee, acting under the guidance of the Education in Philanthropy Steering Committee of the Council of Michigan Foundations. The proposal comes at an opportune time in Michigan educational history. The State of Michigan is in the process of implementing a "Michigan Model Academic Core Curriculum" for all students in the state. One of the major strands of this curriculum within social studies is "Citizen Involvement." The implementation of the new curriculum provides a unique opportunity to integrate the teaching of philanthropy into the standard educational process for all students. i:ewp:committee/brdtrst/6-6-init �Michigan K-12 Education Project Steering Committee 7 Dr. Russell G.

Collier, Vice President & COO Re: Emerging CMF Collaboratives The purpose ofthis Memorandum is to summarize five collaborative projects that CMF is involved in leading and facilitating. Great Lakes Protection Fund Status: Two year $165,990 proposal submitted. Board action expected in June. Background: The Community Foundation Great Lakes Basin Collaborative is a two year project with a total budget of$801,390. The purpose of the Project is for CMF to assist the 39 shoreline community foundations (22 CMF members) in the Great Lakes Basin with three goals: to educate their staff and trustees about environmental grantmaking; to expand their convening ability to contribute to environmental grantmaking; and to assist in the development of environmental grantmaking through both existing and the creation of new endowment funds. We hope that 20 of the shoreline community foundations will have attained goal three by the end of the two year period. The key funding piece is a $165,990 request that the Great Lakes Protection Fund Board of Trustees will be considering at their June Board meeting. If this request is approved, CMF will submit a $400,000 request to the C. S. Mott Foundation. The balance of the funds involved will come from the participating community foundations. Sheila Leahy of Chicago will serve as the lead consultant. There will be a Project Advisory Committee chaired by Kathy Agard, Executive Vice President of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County. We hope that the project will start in October with a one day training session for all39 community foundations in advance ofCMF's Annual Conference in Grand Rapids. C. S. Mott Foundation Violence Prevention Project Status: $200,000 Proposal submitted to C. S. Mott Foundation Background: In response to an invitation from the C. S. Mott Foundation, CMF has designed and submitted a one year $200,000 Violence Prevention Project. This project has four goals: to increase public and state policy makers awareness about community collaborative strategies addressing violence prevention; to assist community foundations in playing a proactive role in helping their communities address the opportunities for �2 violence prevention, and to encourage scholarly research in Michigan on the issue of violence prevention. A partner in addressing the last goal will be the Michigan Institute for Public Health. The primary objective will be for four to six community foundations to host an intensive four days of activities with an expert, such as Barry Krisberg from the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, that will include a regional meeting offunders, a meeting of local policy makers, and end in a town hall meeting broadcast on the local public access station. Two additional objectives are to have a meeting with key funders and state department heads and to offer 20 $1,000 challenge grants to youth advisory committees for their grantmaking next fall. Depending on the communities selected, interest has been expressed by the Gannett Foundation to support the town hall meetings. This has the potential to add an exciting civic journalism component to the Project. This Project also ties in with the C. S. Mott Foundation's support ofPlenary Sessions on Violence Prevention at the Annual Conference and at this summer's National Conference on Youth Philanthropy. Saginaw Bay Watershed Fund Status: Facilitating creation of regional endowment fund. Background: CMF staffis assisting four of our members, the community foundations in Flint, Midland, Bay City, and Saginaw with the creation of the Saginaw Bay Watershed Fund - a permanent endowment fund based at each but overseen by a joint advisory committee. This Fund is being modeled after the Kalamazoo Foundation's Sustainable Communities Watershed Funds and will be a partner for the Department of Environmental Quality to use in settlements related to the Watershed. In addition, staff is working with the four community foundations and several corporate members in the Watershed to strengthen existing and design new collaborative partnerships, such as a Saginaw Bay Watershed Economic and Environmental Roundtable. W. K. Kellogg Foundation Joining Forces Child Care Initiative Status: Concept outline being negotiated. Background: The purpose of the Joining Forces Initiative is to increase the number of quality child care slots available to low income families through community collaboratives and changes in the State's licensing procedures. In partnership with Michigan's Children, CMF has been invited to submit a proposal to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to assist with communication and networking, dissemination and advocacy activities related to the five year, eight site Initiative. Activities will involve linking the eight sites funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C. S. Mott Foundation, the Skillman Foundation, and Frey Foundation with a communications program and sharing the results through dissemination �3 and advocacy with state policy makers and other interested community child care collaborative efforts. Partnership for National Service Status: $220,000 Concept Letter submitted. Waiting for invitation to submit proposal. Background: CMF has submitted a $220,000 concept letter to the Partnership for National Service for the Ford Foundation funded Service As Strategy Initiative. This Initiative will involve five of our member community foundations (Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Southeast Michigan, Flint, and Alpena) involved in the Michigan CARES Program in six activities. These activities, such as offering $1,000 matching challenge grants to the best 20 service projects recommended by the five youth advisory committees, will support four goals with a common purpose to strengthen community service as a tool for community problem solving in partnership with local AmeriCorps Projects. i:rcollier/june96.doc ------. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson RE: March 31, 1996 Financial Report RESOLVED: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve the Financial Report for the year ending March 31, 1996. The enclosed Balance Sheet and Statements of Activities were reviewed and approved by the Audit & Finance Committee on May 23, 1996. As you review the enclosed financial statements you will note that the narrative focuses on the Council of Michigan Foundations Core Operations along with the William Allen and the Russell G. Mawby Funds. The MCFYP and Michigan AIDS Fund numbers are presented for informational purposes, with the responsibility of the approval of these statements falling within their respective Boards' authority. Balance Sheet Total assets for CMF have increased significantly over the past several months due to the receipt ofthe first installment of$100,000 from the Herbert H. and Grace A Dow Foundation for the Russell G. Mawby Fund. Upon raising $500,000 for the Mawby Fund, the Dow Foundation has pledged to match that amount over a three year period. The additional increase was the result of the W.K Kellogg Foundation's contribution of $500,000 to the Ruth & Russ Mawby Fund for Kids. The Deferred Income amount of$40,000 for the CMF Core Operations represents 199697 membership dues received in March, 1996. To segregate those funds that are designated for a specific grantee, the boards of the respective supporting organizations have requested that grants approved by the boards are recorded as a liability at the time of approval As of March 31, 1996 MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund have approved grants outstanding of$1,373,714. During fiscal year 1995-96, MCFYP transferred $86,326 to CMF for scanning community foundation documents into the CMF data base system Once this project is complete, community foundations will have the ability to access community foundations' resource documents via the Internet. The remote access will allow community foundations to transfer documents electronically and edit those documents as they see fit. dlindberglboardmet/cmf/m060796 2 �~---------- ·-------------·--· ·-····· 2 Consolidated Statement of Activity & Changes in Fund Balance Thanks to generous contributions by the Dow Foundation, the W.K Kellogg Foundation, and other CMF members, contributions to the Russell G. Mawby Fund reached $721,000 during the past year. Other Grants to the MCFYP project totaled $4,400,000 which was the result of an early distribution of$3,400,000 from the W.K Kellogg Foundation for the WKKF ill project. Core Operations Statement of Activities While the change in our membership fee structure resulted in a significant increase from the prior year, a small portion of our membership continued to pay at the old rate. Management will be working closely with those members in the upcoming year to adjust their contributions to our current fee structure. Additional Member Contributions were over budget due to contributions received from six community foundations to help fund the Community Foundations' Positioning and Marketing Project. Other Grant Income represents funding received from the Michigan CARES Project which will continue through November 1996. Due to the tremendous success and number of participants that attended the CMF Annual Conference, income was greater than anticipated. The successful Michigan Foundation Directory marketing campaign resulted in unbudgeted postage of $12,000 which was offset by an increase in Directory sales. Computer expenses were over budget due to consulting and programming costs associated with our membership data base system Funding for this overage came from the computer fund balance remaining from the prior year. Professional & Contracted Services were over budget due to the expenses associated with the Community Foundations' Positioning and Marketing Project which was funded by contributions of$5,000 each from six community foundations. The increase in attendance at the CMF Annual Conference accounted for the majority of the variance from budget. The demand by our members for additional technical assistance resulted in the sponsorship of additional conferences and meetings during the past year. Other Grants represents grants disbursed under the Michigan Cares Project. dlindberglboardmet/cmf/m060796 ·- �3 Council of Michigan Foundations & Supporting Organizations Consolidated Balance Sheet As of March 31, 1996 Council of Michigan Foundations William Allen Mawby Endowment Core Endowment Fund Fund O~erations ASSETS Cash Investments Due From Other Funds Furniture & Equipment Accumulated Depree Net Furniture & Equip Prepaid Expenses Accounts Receivable Total Assets LIABILITIES Accounts Payable Deferred Income Accrued Grants Payable Total Liabilities $4,861 381,485 58,434 $81 '121 $1,119,963 (472) I Supporting Organizations I Michigan AIDS Fund MCFYP $3,556 15,153,463 (57,962) $7,456 778,426 915,897 ~284,921~ 630,976 0 0 0 26,405 $1,102,161 $81 '121 $1 '119,491 64,022 40,000 Total $15,873 17,514,458 0 915,897 {284,921) 630,976 0 0 0 0 8,626 21,500 8,626 47,905 $15,099,057 $816,008 $18,217,838 2,000 20,153 1,925 255,714 277,792 86,175 41,925 1,373,714 1,501,814 514,649 23,567 17,527,788 0 (811 ,764) 1,118,000 1,120,000 104,022 0 0 FUND BALANCE Beginning Fund Balance Transfers From Other Funds Change In Fund Balance 1,200,703 86,326 (288,890) 70,517 357,799 10,604 761,692 15,384,120 (86,326) (1 ,318, 737) Total Fund Balance 998,139 81 '121 1,119,491 13,979,057 538,216 16,716,024 $1 '102, 161 $81 '121 $1,119,491 $15,099,057 $816,008 $18,217,838 Total Liabilities & Fund Balance dlindbergi95-95F FS033196.XLS5/28196sheet1 �·······-·------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4 Council of Michigan Foundations & Supporting Organizations Consolidated Statement of Activity and Changes in Fund Balances 4-01-95 to 3-31-96 Council of Michigan Foundations Malfo.by William Allen Core Endownent Endownent Fund Fund O~rations REVENUES Member Contributions Additional Member Contributions Additf Member Contrib.

Two current CMF Board Members will complete their nine years of service in November 1996, Patricia B. Johnson and Leo J. Brennan, Jr. While succession has been planned, their departure will leave a great deal of CMF history with them. In addition, Bill Brooks has resigned due to the intensity of his commitments and the time he is spending on the Social Security Advisory Board coupled with his GM responsibilities. Consequently, there are four openings that we are aware of at this time. Your ideas and counsel are sought as we maintain the balance of donors, trustees, and staff; geography; type; gender and race.

Johnson Re: President's Report The following items are for your information, by way of an update on some CMF services. Please let me know if you have any questions. Detroit Area Grantmakers 1995-96 Season The Detroit Area Grantmakers met eight times- October 1995 through May 1996. Sessions averaged nearly 50 grantmakers per luncheon meeting. The program committee will meet June 20 to plan the 1996-97 season. Leadership is provided by Kari Schlachtenhaufen of The Skillman Foundation and Steve Nedwicki ofComerica. The Michigan Foundation Directory 3,500 copies of the 9th edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory were printed. To date, 3,483 have sold with revenue topping $100,780, a new record. (An overrun gives us a few more copies to sell.) New software has been installed which will allow CD-ROM and On-Line service to be made available in the future. Research for the lOth edition is well underway, with a November 1996 release date. The Survey of grants has been expanded from 10 to 26 categories to allow targeted giving data, as well as compatibility with Foundation Center data. Common Grant Application Form Forty-four Member grantmakers accept the Common Grant Application Form, first accepted by five grantmakers in March of 199 5. After one year of experience, the committee met and made some revisions. The committee members are now looking to create and put to use a "common reporting/evaluation form," under the Chairmanship of Ann L. Irish, Vice President - Programs, Community Foundation for Muskegon County.

This is CMF' s sixth year of working in cooperation with the Michigan State Chamber of Commerce to produce a yearly issue dedicated to philanthropy in Michigan. Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Summary The Board of Trustees ofMCFYP, under the Chairmanship of John E. Marshall III, met on May 14 to approve 41 grants totaling $3,340,500. With this action, there is now an uncommitted balance of$8,645,361 in the $37 million available for the community foundations through the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Youth Challenge. In reviewing the projected requests from the applications, CMF staff predict that all funds will be utilized and in fact there may be more demand than resources. ---. The MCFYP Board also approved $36,000 in affiliation mini-grants to 13 lead community foundations and their 24 affiliate funds. In addition, the Board approved a request to pilot a satellite FIMS software system in the Upper Peninsula this summer linking new community foundations in Iron Mountain and St. Ignace to the Community Foundation for Delta County in Escanaba and the Baraga County Community Foundation in L'Anse to the Marquette Community Foundation. Finally, Youth Project Director Terry Langston reported to the MCFYP Board that 220 youth advisory committee members were involved in three spring regional training meetings. Upper Peninsula Community Foundations Plan & Staffing CMF staff have made three trips to the Upper Penninsula this winter and realized that there are three challenges to be addressed. The first challenge is to replace our U.P. Ambassador George Tomasi, who is retiring on June 30. We are pleased to share with you that we have retained James Krenek of L'Anse, who begins on June 10. Jim is a 23 year veteran of the Michigan State University Extension Service in Baraga County and also chairs the new Baraga County Community Foundation. Jim is entrepreneurial and committed to the community foundation movement. He is a doer, and George reports that we have made a great selection. The second challenge is to strengthen the network of 10 community foundations and eight affiliate funds. The requests for technical assistance and hand-holding continue to increase. Jim Krenek has agreed to be our U.P. Program Director full time for at least the next two years. In addition, we have hired Karen Dault on a half time basis to be the �4 Administrative Assistant. A para-legal by training, Karen currently is part-time Director of the Baraga County Community Foundation. Jim will be responsible for overseeing efforts to strengthen the collaborative efforts among the community foundations and affiliates using the FIMS satellite software described below under MCFYP as the first effort. The third challenge is to assist the UP in obtaining more of the Kellogg Youth Challenge funds. After five years, less than one million dollars has been matched and it is likely that the total U.P. allocation from the $3 7 million in grant funds available will not exceed $1. 5 million without special fundraising help. To address this challenge we have retained Northern Initiatives in Marquette to develop a two year fund development plan for the U.P. The plan will be completed by the end of June. To help Jim Krenek and the U.P. community foundations and affiliate funds implement the plan, we have retained Gary LaPlant ofEscanaba, who will start August 1. Gary is the Principal Officer of Teamsters Local# 328 Escanaba, and has served on the Lake Superior State University Board and the Sawyer Base Closing Commission. As with Jim, the advice we received was, if he is interested, hire him. -..... To help pay for this intensive three year effort in the U.P., the MCFYP Board has approved using $250,000 of the Kellogg III funds earmarked for merger incentives. In addition, the Kellogg Youth Initiative Program in Marquette has made a three year commitment of about $120,000. Finally, in recognition of his support for this U.P. plan, Joel Orosz invited CMF to submit a Program Initiative Fund proposal of$21,750 to help us get started with fund development this summer. Grantmaker/Grantseeker VIII May 17, 1996, 450 Michigan nonprofit representatives (grantmakers and nonprofit organizations) met at the Lansing Center under the leadership of the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and CMF. Maureen H. Smyth, Vice President, C. S. Mott Foundation, co-chaired the event along with Judith Ann Rapanos, Chairperson, the Michigan Council of the Arts. William C. Richardson, President, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, keynoted the opening session. On May 16, 1996, an additional session was held, led by Lester M. Salomon, Director, Institute for Policy Studies, Johns Hopkins University. That evening, CMF joined the Michigan Commission on Community Service and MNA, for the Governor's Awards Program at which time Governor and Mrs. John Engler presented awards to outstanding volunteers. CMF and MNA also presented the Russell G. Mawby Award (for lifetime achievement in commitment to the encouraging private action for the public good,) to Mrs. Betty Upjohn Mason, President, the Kalamazoo Foundation, and Trustee of the Button H. and Elizabeth S. Upjohn Charitable Trust. �5 C:MF Annual Report The Annual Report for 1995- 96 will be available in early July. Once again Robert E . Hencey, Director of Special Projects, W. K. Kellogg Foundation, is designing the report which will be shared with Members and interested parties. CMF/TPI Advisor Outreach Project The Advisor Outreach Project has recently completed 109 interviews with attorneys, accountants, bank trust officers, financial managers and insurance agents from across the state. A report of the interview findings and an action plan is now being drafted for approval and support from a statewide advisory cabinet. The project has been contacted by Trusts & Estates, a professional journal for estate planners and private bankers, for an article about professionals supporting their wealthy clients' philanthropic interests. The article is expected to be published in the September 1996 issue. Family Foundation Services The Frey Foundation has awarded CMF a generous grant to enhance family foundation sessions at the 24th annual conference. The grant will be used for creative marketing of the seven programs being planned especially for family foundations, expanding the use of out-of-state experts within the sessions, and adding value to the use ofBill Bonderant's, former Executive Director of the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation, time at the conference. Requests for individualized technical assistance continue to grow as word spreads about the availability of these services. CMF has provided assistance for such diverse subjects as computing operational expense percentages~ the pros and cons of utilizing non-family trustees, developing grantmaking and administrative policies, facilitating planning retreats, and surveying the managing practices of similar sized foundations. Two half-day workshops have been designed to assist Boards of Trustees with rejuvenating their grantmaking interests or teaching new Board members about foundation administration; and two new companion publications are being planned for the 1996-97 fiscal year. i:ewp:committee/boardtrst/pres-6-6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson, who introduced the staff members present. Plan ofWork Ms. Johnson reviewed the Results of the Plan ofWork for 1995-96 at the ten month mark in the fiscal year. There was discussion about the great improvement in Directory sales, due to CMF now operating the project by itself, and conducting special marketing. Vice President RobertS. Collier then presented a summary of the proposed Plan of Work for 1996-97. Mr. Collier asked Gail Powers-Schaub and Tamara Ylitalo to give the Board a tour of CMF' s new Web Site on the Internet. Ms. Powers-Schaub also reviewed a handout explaining how each Trustee can access CMF through the Internet. Dr. Ira Strumwasser noted that the conferences of the supporting corporations, such as the Michigan AIDS Fund, should be included in the Plan of Work and any activities that can facilitate funders with similar interests meeting in person and through e-mail. Dr. John Porter asked how CMF can convey its successes to the members in other ways than the Annual Report. Ms. Kari Schlachtenhaufen recommended that a Program of the Detroit Area Grantmakers be devoted to a briefing on CMF' s activities. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the proposed Plan ofWork for 1996-97 be approved. Ms. Noland commented that each Trustee would be hearing from her later on the process for reviewing President Johnson's performance, but that the issue would not be covered today.

There was discussion about the need for 5 . �comparative data on the core budget for the current year, which was presented to the Executive Committee. Copies were made available to the Board.

Bylaw Change Mr. Peter Thurber reviewed two resolutions, a copy of which is appended to the official copy ofthese minutes, and explained the need to change CMF's Bylaws by amending Article X to include indemnification of any non-trustee volunteer. He noted that this change has been approved by Duane Tarnacki, legal counsel, and was recommended by the Investment Committee. He also reviewed a companion resolution, stating the intent of CMF to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law, any non-trustee volunteer members of committees established pursuant to Article X of the Bylaws. There was discussion about the possible increase in the premium for the $1,000,000 Directors & Officers Liability Insurance policy based on the proposed resolution to amend the bylaws to make indemnification of non-trustee volunteers mandatory. Mr. Lindberg stated that the Directors & Officers Liability Insurance policy already includes non-trustee volunteers and therefore there would be no increase in the rate based on the bylaw change. Further discussion centered around CMF' s potential liability based on the indemnification of non-trustee volunteers. Mr. Lindberg stated that he would contact CMF' s attorney and insurance carrier to clarify this issue and report back to the board within a couple of weeks by memo. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that Article X of the Bylaws be amended to include indemnification of any non-trustee volunteer member of committees or other approved activities of CMF established by the Board pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in article X ofthe Corporation' s Bylaws. 6 �- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - -- - - - - - - - -- - - - ------- ·--- RESOLVED further, that CMF shall to the fullest extent now, and hereafter, permitted by law, indemnify any non-trustee volunteer members of committees of CMF established by the Board pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in Article X of the Corporation's Bylaws.

Government Relations Ms. Ranny Riecker, Chair of the Government Relations Committee, reviewed the successful visits on January 31 with the Congressional Delegation. She noted the importance of talking with our members about the charitable tax deduction and commented how helpful CMF Trustee Bill Brooks was with the visits to the Delegation. In addition, she commented on State Senator Schuette's interest in proposing legislation for community foundations to access some of the escheat funds that now go to the State's general fund. Chair Noland and Dr. Russell Mawby commented on the Governor's Partnership Meeting on February 12. In addition to the Governor's commitment of time, it was noted that nearly two dozen CMF members and Trustees were in attendance. Dr. William Richardson commented that given the likelihood of hearings on 501(c)(3) organizations in the fall, there is a greater need than ever to be careful about appearances. He noted his concern about the Council on Foundations decision to hold its 1997 Annual Conference in Hawaii, and indicated the W.K. Kellogg Foundation would not be sending its usual delegation. Dr. Richardson' s concern was supported by many of the Trustees and there was consensus that President Dorothy A. Johnson should share this concern with Dorothy Ridings, the new President of the Council on Foundations. 24th Annual Conference In the absence of Margaret Smith, Chair, the 24th Annual Conference, Ms. Johnson reviewed plans for the conference, noting the decision to move the Conference from Flint to Grand Rapids and to hold it one week earlier.

Recommending changes to the Board of Trustees of the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project for the final application cycle in April 1997 of the Kellogg Youth Challenge. One of the changes will allow MCFYP to serve the community of Marinette, Wisconsin, an historical partner with Menominee, Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula. The M&M Community Foundation has become organized in the last year and has submitted their first application for the Youth Challenge. The other two changes deal with lifting the "all or nothing" criteria for the last application cycle to encourage the remaining applicants to raise as many matching funds as possible and to extending the final deadline for the matching fundraising to be completed from April1998 to December 1998. This will allow the seasonal communities to have two full summers to complete their fund development efforts. In addition, the Committee has approved development of community foundations in two rural areas of the state - in partnership with Kirtland Community College for the four counties surrounding Roscommon; and in partnership with an Intermediate School District in the three-county Thumb area. These two partnerships should increase the likelihood of these rural community foundations becoming permanent institutions. II. Assisting with the development of new legislation David Haynes is working on legislation similar to that passed in Indiana which would allow local units of government to transfer bequests and other private gifts to community foundations and invest these endowment dollars in accordance with the community foundations investment policies. Michigan law is currently grey on this issue, and there are likely twenty community foundations that have already received such transfers. The legislation was deemed necessary after the Treasury Department audited the village of White Cloud and determined that funds transferred to the Fremont Area Foundation by the White Cloud Public Library for an Agency Endowment Fund, should be returned. �2 As part of that legislation, the committee has proposed language that would tighten the definition of community foundation in the tax code that covers the state tax credit. The additions to the current definition deal with duplication in service areas already covered by community foundations, having a minimum endowment level, and requiring regular financial reviews and audits. It is hoped that this legislation will be introduced in the "lame duck session" with approval by both the House and Senate in January. A separate bill will be introduced in 1997 for renewal of the state tax credit. III. Oversight of the Positioning & Marketing Committee The Positioning and Marketing Committee received a report on the results of the research of both current donors and non-donors, completed for Phase II of the Project by John Killpack, consultant from AED. The key results with non-donors confirmed national research that: • Non-donors need to be convinced a community foundation is the right vehicle. • Control is an important issue which non-donors perceive is not well addressed through community foundations. • Both donors and non-donors are interested in community and stewardship, which means community foundations are well placed to expand their involvement. The Committee has approved retention of Porter Novelli, a public relations and marketing firm based in Washington, to now launch Phase III of the Project, which has been primarily funded by a $200,000 grant from the C.S. Mott Foundation. In Phase II, Porter Novelli will focus on the development of messages and tools to communicate those messages to specific target audiences - people of wealth and women with hidden wealth in the areas served by the Community Foundation of Greater Flint and the Community Foundation for Muskegon County. Based on the results of this 18 month pilot, the Committee could make a recommendation to the Board of CMF that this be expanded to a statewide effort in 1999. We will keep you posted on this special pilot. Barbara Hummel from Porter Novelli and John Killpack will be meeting with the Committee on Thursday afternoon, at the Conference. In addition, they will be making a presentation at the Community Foundation Breakfast and conducting a session open to all participants on Friday morning. collier/brdtrstlhop � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Keast, Chair Re: Corporate Services Committee Report Eight members of the Corporate Services Committee recently surveyed by phone 31 corporate members representing 40% of CMF' s corporate membership. The survey was developed from a similar instrument used by the Council on Foundations to survey its corporate members. One of the surprises in the results of the survey was the longevity of those surveyed in their positions. Over half of those surveyed have been in this field for more than 10 years. Other key findings in the survey are: I. The mission of the Corporate Services Department at CMF should be re-tuned with a focus on strengthening and enhancing the effectiveness of corporate philanthropy. II. The following subjects received the highest priority for future programs from a list of 18: • Measuring the value of the program to your business, • Developing an evaluation plan, • Employee involvement & volunteerism, and • Communications & Media Relations. III. A number of respondents noted the challenge of dealing with corporate downsizing and less resources, while at the same time facing more requests for corporate support. IV. The conferences, directory, networking and one to one support offered by CMF were all given high marks. V. A desire was expressed that CMF could do more to provide information on what other corporations are doing in the field. In terms of next steps, the Committee is planning on the following: • The enclosed Benefits of Membership form has been developed and will be used as a recruiting and retention tool. �2 • • • The Job Description for Committee members has been redrafted and will include a recruitment effort for up to 15 active new corporate members. A series of three special corporate seminars is being planned for 1997. One will be tied to the Annual Members Reception in June, and another will also be scheduled as a pre-session to the Annual Conference next November in Detroit. We will try to use interactive technology with one of the sessions to expand participation. The focus of the sessions will be on the priorities identified above. All of this will be discussed at our Corporate Services breakfast meeting on November 1 at 7:30a.m. at the Conference. Stop by for breakfast if you do not have a prior commitment. Special appreciation to the following colleagues that called and gathered member input to shape CMF' s future corporate sources. Anne DeBoer Susan Kelly Karla Hall R.

Johnson RE: August 31, 1996 Financial Report RESOLVED: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve the Financial Report for the five months ended August 31, 1996. On September 26, 1996 the Audit & Finance Committee reviewed and approved the August 31, 1996 Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets. During the Audit & Finance Committee meeting it was reported that James Richmond has resigned due to increasing commitments with the Frey Foundation. Pending the approval ofRichard K Rappleye as Treasurer ofCMF, the Audit & Finance Committee will consist of the following members: • • • • Richard K Rapp1eye, Chair - Treasurer CMF Harold H. Holland - Trustee CMF Patricia B. Johnson - Vice-Chair MCFYP Ira Strumwasser- Trustee Michigan AIDS Fund Balance Sheet As of August 31, 1996 the CMF Endowment Funds have a market value of$1,210,000. The Russell G. Mawby Fund is scheduled to receive a $100,000 contribution in December 1996 as part of the Herbert H. & Grace A Dow Foundation's $500,000 matching pledge. The W.K Kellogg Foundation has awarded a $10,000,000 grant to MCFYP to be regranted to the three KYlP geographic areas (Detroit, Calhoun County & Marquette/Alger Counties) to build endowment funds that will be used to keep youth development a priority in these areas. $1,875,000 has been received from the W.K Kellogg Foundation for this project as of August 31, 1996. The net assets section of the Balance Sheet has been broken down to segregate the MCFYP Board Designated and endowment fund Net Asset Balances from the unrestricted and temporarily restricted funds. dlindberg/boardmet/cmf/ml 03096 �2 Based on current cash flow projections the MCFYP Board Designated Fund (which will be used to fund community foundation programming beyond the year 2000) is anticipated to have fund balance of$2,400,000 by March 31, 2000. Consolidated Statement of Activity & Changes in Fund Balance As of September 30, 1996, CMF has secured funding for the following new special projects: • • • • Great Lakes Protection Fund Youth Project Dissemination Partnership for National Service Mott Violence Project $166,000 $145,300 $110,000 $210,000 Additional funding of$200,000 has been approved for the Community Foundations' Positioning and Marketing Project. The following special projects are ongoing from the prior year: • • • • • Improving Philanthropy - University Without Walls Increasing Philanthropy - Outreach Advisors Project Detroit Office Escheat Project Michigan Cares Core Operations Statement of Activities By moving up the mailing date of the membership renewal letters, to coincide with the start of CMF' s fiscal year, we have seen a significant increase in contributions received year-to-date versus the prior year. After comparing year to dated receipts versus the amount budgeted for each member management is confident we will reach our current year budget amount of$501,000. Publications revenue and Postage expenses decreased from the prior due to a special promotional mailing for The Michigan Foundation Directory which took place in June of last year. Equipment & Furniture has decreased significantly from the prior year due to the purchase of the remaining office space in Grand Haven in July of 1995. dlindberglboardmet/cmf/ml 03096 �3 Council of Michigan Foundations & Supporting Organizations Consolidated Balance Sheet As of August 31, 1996 II Core & Special Projects ASSETS Cash Investments Due From Other Funds Furniture & Equipment Accumulated Depree Net Furniture & Equip Prepaid Expenses Accounts Receivable Accrued Interest Receivable Total Assets LIABILITIES Accounts Payable Deferred Income Accrued Grants Payable Total Liabilities NET ASSETS (FUND BALANCE) Unrestricted & Temp Restrict.

Johnson, Chair. Present: Patricia B. Johnson, Chair; Harold H. Holland, David R. Lindberg, Richard K. Rappleye and Ira Strumwasser. Ms. Johnson reviewed the minutes from the May 23, 1996 meeting. Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED that the minutes from the May 23,1996 Audit & Finance Committee be approved as presented. Ms. Johnson stated that Jim Richmond has resigned from the Committee due to time constraints and that with several new board members coming on board in October we will await word on whether Dottie Johnson would like to appoint a replacement for Mr. Richmond. Mr. Lindberg reviewed the CMF and Supporting Organizations' August 31, 1996 financial statements. Mr. Lindberg stated that following reports would be presented to the CMF board at the October 1996 board meeting: • • • Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Activities & Changes in Fund Balances, and the CMF Core Operations Statement of Changes. The supporting organizations will review their respective statements at their upcoming board meetings. Mr. Strumwasser questioned why expenses for the National Youth Conference were being charged against the MCFYP Computer Project. Mr. Lindberg stated that following the awarding of the WKKF IT grant, WKKF requested that CMF submit a proposal with the Computer Grant request to include a one-time National Youth Conference along with a summer youth camp every other year. Mr. Strumwasser suggested that in the future CMF staff may want to request a separate grant so that a computer project, for instance, only reports on computer expenses and does not included expenses for the youth camps. iJDLindberg/Committee/Finance/min92696/ �7 Mr. Lindberg stated that MCFYP has been awarded a new project from the W.K Kellogg Foundation called the Kellogg Youth Initiative Partnership (KYIP). A total of $10,000,000 will be re-granted to the three KYIP areas to set up an endowment fund to keep youth programming a priority. Ms. Johnson informed the Committee that her term as the Treasurer ofCMF has expired as of October 30, 1996, and therefore she would be stepping down as the Chair ofthe Audit & Finance Committee. She also stated that the CMF Nominating Committee will be recommending Richard Rappleye as her replacement to the CMF Board in October. To continue representation from each one of the supporting organizations on this Committee, Mr. Lindberg requested that Ms. Johnson remain a trustee of the MCFYP Board. Ms. Johnson accepted. Mr. Lindberg asked if the Committee would like to see an investment section which would report on past investment earnings. All Committee members agreed that they would like to see this in the future. The next meeting date was scheduled for Friday, December 13,1996 to review the 199697 Budgets.
