II. Washington D.C. Visitation Date: Wednesday, February 12th@ 7:00p.m. through Thursday, February 13th We hope many of you will join us for the Annual Capitol Hill Visitation. The Meeting will be held with Michigan's two Senators and sixteen Congressmen. Seven members of the Government Relations Committee are planning to attend. Last year, twelve Council of Michigan Foundation members participated. As before, we will be discussing issues important to philanthropy, and distributing Edition X of the Michigan Foundation Directory, as well as a computerized print-out of all the foundations located in the Congressmen's districts. III. Lansing Visitation Plans are underway for the bi:-annuallegislative seminar. The Government Relations Committee is also exploring the possibility of a December 1997 seminar for new legislators. Interestingly, 71 of the 110 members of the Michigan House will be new to the responsibilities due to term limits. It is estimated that the turnover in the Senate could be as high as 50%. CMF has been advised that a seminar about grantmaking and public policy issues could be extremely useful. We will keep you advised as plans develop.

COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement October 1996 Philanthropy in America Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 122.5., foundations and corporations donated more than $17.8 billion for charitable causes and services, including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, libraries, and programs for the elderly, and the needy. Today, foundations and corporations are being challenged to increase their 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 encoumge 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 27 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 of Michigan's more than 1.200 foundations, as well as the more than 38,807 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 policy-makers, 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 policy-makers. A Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the program. 2 �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 policy-makers about foundation philanthropy and to bring about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. As a result of these efforts by CMF and others, the mandatory payout requirement has been lowered by Congress to a flat five percent of foundation assets, the excise tax on foundations has been reduced, the .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. In the last year, two regulatory items have been resolved, and legislation has been passed relating to gifts of publiclytraded stock to private foundations and ownership of S-Corporation stock. 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 foundations in Michigan, and to support the repeal of the Michigan Intangibles Tax. The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March 1, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April12, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; and November 8. 1995. A ninth revision is being recommended to the Board of Trustees, October 30. 1996. Goal: Support the continuation and expansion of tax incentives for the creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. National Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Make permanent the full deductibility of publicly-traded stock given to private foundations. * Progress made 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 end of 1994. Le~islation was 2 �4 passed (August 1996) allowing gifts of appreciated stock to new or existing public foundations at fair market value between July 1. 1996 and May 31. 1997. It is CMF' s ~oal to make this legislation permanent. 2. Goal: Change the limitation on gifts to a private foundation from 20 percent to 50 percent. Explanation: Under existing law, the amount deductible by an individual taxpayer for contributions to private non-operating foundations is computed as a percentage of the donor's contribution base (in most cases, his or her adjusted gross income). An individual may deduct only 20 percent of the gifts of appreciated property or 30 percent of gifts of cash. On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50 percent of his contribution base for gifts to public charities. 3. 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 of the outstanding stock of the 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. 4. Goal: Pursue legislation which would allow the establishment of a common fund for private and community foundations. Explanation: Currently, foundations are not allowed by law to pool their assets. Ideally, private and community foundations could have an investment vehicle which would allow for pooling with potentially greater investment returns and administrative efficiencies. Such a fund is allowed for colleges and universities. 5. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability. Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that inflation be taken into consideration. A portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. 6. Goal: Reduce excise tax to flat 1 percent instead of the present complicated fonnula which pennits, 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 3 ,.· ' �5 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. 7. 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. ** Eliminate - No longer an issue to CMF Members as it is connected with other tax policy pertaining to capitol gains. 11. 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 4 �6 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." 12. Goal: Protect charitable gift annuities. * Progress made. Explanation: Many public charities, including community foundations, offer donors the opportunity to contribute through charitable gift annuities. 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 balance of the gift passes to the charity. Leiislation was passed favorable to protecting charitable iift annuities, however, it is being challenged in grnrt. 13. Goal: Amend the generation-skipping transfer tax law to extend the predeceased parent exclusion to charitable lead and remainder trusts. Explanation: The Internal Revenue Code levies a substantial tax, called the GenerationSkipping Transfer Tax (GSIT), on a donor who distributes 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 GSIT in cases where the donor desires to leave property to his or her grandchild, and the grandchild's parent (the child of the donor) is deceased at the time of the transfer. But this exclusion now applies only to direct gifts 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 GSIT is a huge disincentive for donors who would otherwise create such charitable vehicles. 14. Goal: Allow private and community foundations to own S-Corporation stock. ·on: There are more than 1.9 million S-Corporations in the United States. having achieved success in the business world, have expressed interest ~ o uting S-Corporation stock to public charities and foundations in order to donate ~~ Ition of their private wealth to the public good. The small business bill, as passed by @:~~ Congress (August 1996) permits charitable organizations to be shareholders of S cor~ poration stock. All iain at the time of sale, and all income from shares will be taxable to the orianization as unrelated business income, however.

Goal: Change the due date of the first estimated tax payment so that it coincides with the due date of the Form 990-PF. Explanation: Private foundations now must pay estimated taxes on their investment income in quarterly payments. However, the first payment each year is due three and a half months after the tax year while the tax return is not due until a month later. 16. Goal: Clarify legislation that preserves the principle of full deductibility from U. S. sourc.e 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. ** Eliminate - No longer an issue to corporations. 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 not 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 multinational corporations. 17. Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. 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. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize charitable contributions within certain limits. 18. Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can lobby or otherwise influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that adversely affect grantmaking. * Progress made. Explanation: Oppose unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on charitable and nonprofit grantees of foundations and corporate giving programs and unreasonable limits which adversely impact grantmakers' ability to fund research and evaluation. While progress has been made, continuous monitoring is essential. 19. 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 organizations are significant investors in the real estate market. Income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income 6 �8 · (UBTI). Legislation would have private foundations treated in the the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain real property. National Regulatory Issues 1. Goal: Return to the old rule for grants by U.S. foundations to nonresident aliens, where such payments are taxable depending on the place where the research or study takes place. .· · Explanation: In 1989, Treasury published Revenue Ruling 89-67 which revised a longstanding position involving payments to nonresident aliens for scholarships, fellowships, prizes, and awards. The old rule said that the source of such payments for tax purposes was determined according to where the research or study activities take place. Problems developed when the 1986 Tax Reform Act changed the rules for scholarships, fellowships, etc., so that such payments were taxable except for tuition and related fees. Thus, many foreign students in the U.S. became subject to U.S. tax. The universities oought 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 working or studying outside the U. S. became subject to 30 percent withholding. 2. Goal: Obtain a Treasury ruling stating that no part of the premiums paid for directors and officers liability insurance need be treated as compensation for any charitable organization. Ex~lan ·on: Existing rulings indicate that some small portion of the premiums paid for d' ~ d officers liability insurance for private foundations must be treated as on to those covered to avoid self-dealing. ~\~ J!l'iv;ite fQlllldaJiwj or J!I!llision mpecmber 1'?25, ~ ~ations of iJmWUICl' for purposes of covering the liabililillll !!f tbe person in his/her capacity as a manager of the private foundation is not self-dealing. Additionally, the amounts expended by the private foundation for insurance or indemnification generally are not included in the compensation of the disqualified person for Jllll'.llOses of determining whether the disqyalified person's compensation is reasonable." While each foundation wilLwant to examine the facts of its own circumstances_, in most cases, the issue has been resolved. 3. Goal: Permit community foundations to administer pooled income funds with the remain~rest at the donor's d~th going to the local charity either by a) establishing a~~~ d, or b) turning the corpus directly over to the local charity designated by \~t:.~"1k the time of contribution of the fund. 7 .;~ �9 Explanation: A pooled income fund is a fonn of deferred giving whereby a living donor may contribute assets to the fund and receive income payments during his or her lifetime. The donor is eligible for a limited charitable deduction in the year of the gift, and at the donor's death, the charity receives title to the endowment. By pooling such contributions, a charity can more efficiently administer this type of program. Revenue Ruling 96-38 allows a Community Foundation to create a pooled income fund that pours into designated funds for local charities (although not directly to the charity at donor's death.) Goal: Support tax incentives for contributions to charitable organizations. State Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to community benefits as it relates to non-profits. Explanation: Legislation has been proposed in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Texas which threatens the tax exemption of charitable organizations. CMF, working with others, will closely monitor any related efforts in Michigan. 2. Goal: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from individuals. Explanation: Other states have found a tax deduction favorable to encouraging additional gifts to charities, educational institutions, churches, etc., by individuals. A limited tax deduction is proposed. 3. 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. 4. Goal: Support legislation allowing gifts and bequests received by units of local government to be gifted to community foundations. Explanation: While a number of community foundations have funds established by local public libraries and school systems for scholarships, Michigan law is currently "~" on this issue. New legislation, similar to that passed in Indiana, is being proposed to allow such gifts to community foundations. This will assist particularly with partnerships needed to sustain community foundations in rural communities. 8 �10 5. Goal: Support legislation further defining a community foundation in the State Tax ~ Explanation: A community foundation is currently defined in the State Tax Code pertaining to the state community foundation tax credit. It is important to further define a community foundation in order to promote permanency and accountability while avoiding duplication of effort in communities and regions of the state. 6. Goal: Amend the State Insurance Code to allow a charitable oq:anization. as described in Section 50l(c) 3 of the Federal Internal Revenue Code, to have an insurable interest in the life of an individual who gave written consent to the ownership or purchase of a policy on his or her life Explanation: Currently state law does not allow charitable organizations to have an insurable interest in the ownership or purchase of life insurance. Some individuals wish to benefit a charitable organization by use of this vehicle. CMF Activity ---., 1. Regularly communicate with elected officials of federal, state, and local levels about foundation activities and concerns. 2. Encourage Member foundations to report grants and activities to government officials. 3. Encourage Members in each Michigan Congressional District to meet as a group with their legislator, when the legislator is in District, to discuss the local contributions of community and private foundations and corporate giving. 4. Support public reporting for foundations, beyond the reports required by law, and provide technical assistance for those foundations 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. 9 �11 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. Sponsor periodic seminars for state legislators, department chiefs and their staffs. i:ewp:comm/govtllegstmntlleg96aut . ·~ 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

CMF Endowment Funds' Spending Policy The income/unit that may be spent annually shall not exceed 5o/o of the average fair market/unit value of the individual endowment fund's assets as measured at the end of each quarter, for the previous twenty quarters or all quarters since the inception of the fund (which ever is shorter). See next page for previous spending policy. During the May 7, 1996 Investment Committee meeting the Committee reviewed the current CMF Endowment Fund Spending Policy. During this review the Committee agreed that limiting spending to income accumulated over the life of the portfolio could make budgeting difficult during years in which the portfolio returns may fluctuate a great deal. It was also noted during this meeting that most foundations that the committee members were familiar with had 5% spending policies that were not limited to the total return accumulated over the life of the portfolio. The asset allocation policy, that was adopted by the Investment Committee on January 25, 1996, taking into account the historical returns of the S&P 500 and the Long-Term Government Bonds over the last 68 years (see below), allows for real growth in the portfolio based on a 5% spending policy. Equities- S&P 500 Fixed Income - Long Term Govt. bonds 10.50% 5.20% In keeping with this policy, the committee will review current market conditions and past performance of the portfolio and make adjustments to the 5% spending policy as deemed appropriate. dlindberg/Boardmet/cmf7m 103096a �2 RESOLVED: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve the Investment Committee report as of August 31, 1996. On August 13, 1996, the quarterly Investment Committee meeting was held to review the past performance of the CMF, MCFYP and Michigan AIDS Fund investment portfolios and discuss future investment opportunities. Highlights of the quarterly meeting can be found in the minutes and the Investment Performance Detail Report included in this tab. Previous spending policy approved by the CMF Board of Trustees on February 21, 1996: Previous CMF Endowment Funds' Spending Policy Income available for spending is determined by the total return earned from the portfolio. The income that may be spent, as determined in this paragraph, may be drawn from interest, dividends and realized and unrealized gains and losses. 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. dlindberg/Boardmet/cmf/ml 03 096a �3 Council of Michigan Foundations Investment Performance Detail Report As of August 31, 1996 Entit~ Investment Market Value 8!31196 Quarter Ending 9/3Jfi15 Quarter Ending 12131fi15 Quarter Ending 3!31196 Quarter Ending 612/J/96 Previous 12 Months CMF Woodward Money Market $1 ,226,cee 1.39"Al 1.37% 1.31% 1.37% 5.44% Mawby Fund Woodward Money Market $283,174 1.37% 1.44% 1.34% 1.22% 5.37% Mawby Fund Woodward Equity Index $672,817 8.26% 5.35% 4.87% 4.40% 22.88% Mawby Fund Woodward Short Bond $192,100 N/A N/A N/A 0.99% N/A Allen Fund NBD Investment Mgt Acct. $82,734 6.15% 4.54% 3.27% 2.35% 16.31% MCFYP U.S. Treasury Securities $9,219,141 1.41% 1.27% 1.37% 1.41% 5.46% MCFYP Woodward Money Market $5,326,848 1.37% 1.44% 1.29% 1.20% 5.30% MCFYP Woodward Equity Index $861,767 6.41% 5.38% 5.31% 4.04% 21 .14% MCFYP Woodward Short Bond $238,458 N/A N/A NIA 0.99% N/A Michigan AIDS Woodward Money Market $756,876 1.37% 1.44% 1.36% 1.28% 5.45% Comparative Rates of Return 12 Mon1hs Ending 6/30/96 S&P 500 NASDAQ Consumer Price Index 25.98% 24.25% 2.75% The differences in 1he timing and amount of 1he investment purchases account for 1he difference in 1he internal rates of return for 1he different investment accounts.

Johnson; David R Lindberg; John E. Marshall, ill, Leonard W. Smith; and Peter P. Thurber. The meeting was held via conference call and was called to order by Committee Chair Robert E. Swaney, Jr. at 9:00a.m Mr. Swaney reviewed the minutes from the May 7, 1996 meeting. Mr. Swaney stated that the second sentence in paragraph nine was also stated in paragraph eight and could be deleted. Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED: That the minutes from the May 7, 1996 meeting be approved pending the deletion of the second sentence of paragraph nine as noted. Mr. Lindberg reviewed the proposed change to the CMF Endowment Funds Spending Policy. Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED: That the Investment Committee approve the following revision to the current CMF Endowment Funds Spending Policy. CMF Endowment Funds' Spending Policy The income/unit that may be spent annually shall not exceed So/o of the average fair market/unit value of the individual endowment fund's assets as measured at the end of each quarter for the previous twenty quarters or all quarters since the inception of the fund (which ever is shorter). Mr. Swaney reviewed the rates of return for the Woodward Common Stock and Bond Funds for the quarter and the twelve months ending June 30, 1996. Mr. Swaney reviewed the internal rates of returns and asset mix for the CMF NBD Woodward Money Market account, the William W. Allen trust account and the Russell G. Mawby NBD Woodward Equity Index and Money Market accounts. Mr. Swaney reviewed the projected asset allocation mix for the Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund and the MCFYP Board Designated Fund noting that the Mawby Fund will have a higher percentage invested in the Woodward Equity Index and Bond Funds than MCFYP by March 31, 1997. i/jw!Lindberg/investmn/CMF /Minutes/0813 96 �5 Mr. Swaney proposed that the committee adjust the monthly investment in the equity index and bond funds to approximate the projected MCFYP Board Designated Fund allocation as ofMarch 31, 1996. Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously carried, it was RESOLVED: That the Director of Finance to the Council of Michigan Foundations be authorized to decrease to $29,000/month, starting in September 1996 through March 1997, the investment of the Russell G. Mawby money market fund, into the Woodward Equity Index Fund, and That the Director of Finance to the Council of Michigan Foundations be authorized to decrease to $14,000/month, starting in September 1996 through March 1997, the investment of the Russell G.

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 decision-makers in communities, and establishes important statewide ties to service, volunteerism, philanthropy and service-learning. Overview The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has granted $49 million to Michigan community foundations through the Council of Michigan Foundations over three grant periods: 1988-1991 $ 2 million 1991-1996 $3 5 million 1996-2000 $12 million A total of$5.4 million continues to be available to community foundations as challenge grants. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has provided a companion grant to support technical assistance to Michigan's community foundations from 1988-1995. The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project and the Council of Michigan Foundation's 52 member community foundations (and their 28 affiliates) are pleased to continue to report that the project is stimulating fundamental and positive change in the long term structure of local philanthropy in the State ofMichigan. Geographic Service During 1995 and 1996 we have continued our substantial progress in the geographic reach of community foundation service. 74 Michigan counties, of the 83 total, are now served. This compares to 63 from last year. Nine other counties have active organizing committees and/or are negotiating affiliate relationships with neighboring community foundations . Of the 15 counties of the Upper Peninsula all are now served by community foundations. This development has been led by our part-time Upper Peninsula consultant, George Tomasi, who retired June 30, 1996. As mentioned later in this report, new full time staff have been hired to replace George. �- - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - , 2 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, audited assets in the community foundations have grown by 28% from $564,552,613 in 1994 to $725,449,270 in 1995. Audited grantmaking has increased by 8%, from $32,364,240 to $34,524,367. Staffing has grown from 125 to 136 professional staff with three community foundations adding their first staff members this year. Technical Assistance The technical assistance, provided with funds from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, is critical to sustaining this growing group of community foundations. Two publications have been written this year. 40 training sessions have been held with over 1200 attendees. 226legal questions have been answered for 39 community foundations. 138 on-site consultations have been completed. Mini-grants totaling $49,360 have been given to 54 community foundations. Youth Project There are now 72 community foundations and affiliates with active youth committees involving 1,300 young people in philanthropy. Eighteen community foundations have raised the full match providing the young people in each community with the interest on $1 million for grantmaking for programs for youth. Youth committees have now made over $2.6 million in 1,708 grants for local youth needs. 159 young people attended leadership camp during the summer of 1995, while 425 young people attended a one-day Regional Workshop held in four locations in the spring and fall of 199 5. Over one half of the primary group leaders at leadership camp are former Youth Advisory Committee members. The community foundations feel the lessons they are learning about youth philanthropy are important and, they asked to hold a national conference to disseminate information to national funders, out-of-state community foundations and youth serving organizations interested in replicating MCFYP. This conference was held July 25 - 27, 1996 at the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids, MI and, as mentioned later in this report, showcased all ofthe related initiatives which spin in harmony with this project. There is an excellent relationship between this project, Campus Compact, the Michigan Community Service Commission, and other youth and philimthropic initiatives. Community foundations are also experiencing "alumnae" of the youth committees becoming donors to the community foundation and advisors to Youth Advisory Committees. ~- �. -····--··---- - -- - - - -- - -- -----------, 3 "YOUTH MAKING A DIFFERENCE" National Youth Philanthropy Conference REPORT SUMMARY ..-----. ------ The National Youth Philanthropy Conference was held at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan on July 25-27, 1996. More than 800 enthusiastic participants, including nearly 600 youth, attended the conference entitled "Youth Making a Difference." Community foundation representatives from 25 states and Canada, national funders, youth-serving organizations, and Michigan Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) members, and their advisors came to share and learn about the tremendous success of the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project (MCFYP) and other models for engaging youth in philanthropy. Special speakers included Bob Love of Chicago Bulls and Jeffrey Canada, a leading expert on violence prevention programs. The Detroit Pistons joined the MCFYP Statewide Youth Board in honoring YAC members and their advisors, in three award categories: Innovative Community Foundation/YAC Awards, Exemplary YAC Member Awards, and Outstanding YAC Advisor Awards. Awards went to Jeannie Ringleberg, Phillip Wahtola, Diana Economy, Marieo Henry, Omar Sims, Cheryl Elliot, and Lorriane Krieg. YACs receiving awards included Margquette Community Foundation Youth Advisory Committee, Leleanau Youth Advisory Committee under the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation, and Community Foundation for Muskegon County Youth Advisory Committee. The recipients will be recongnized during half-time at a Detroit Pistons game on October 27. Plans are underway for the second annual Community Service Awards. Released during the National Conference were three new CMF publications highlighting MCFYP. They include: • "Get Into Action", a brochure developed to introduce MCFYP and the concept of youth as philanthropist; • "Growing Community Foundations/ Empowering Youth", a publication authored by Karin Tice, Ph.D., the evaluator on MCFYP, that presents lessons learned and recommendations for replication ofMCFYP; • "Guidelines and Resources for Establishing a Youth Advisory Committee", , a resource manual for community foundations or organizations that wish to establish Youth Advisory Committees authored by Terry Langston, Youth Program Director. Press coverage was substantial, including a Christian Science Monitor feature. �·- ·-- ···· - -···-- -·- --·----·-··· - - -- · - -- ----·· - - - ----·- --·-···- ·-·- - - - -···- -- - 4 Other Related Initiatives Upper Peninsula Initiative Special initiatives to organize the Upper Peninsula have been extremely successful. There are now ten community foundations with 8 geographic component funds which assures that all residents in the Upper Peninsula now have access to a community foundation. The Upper Peninsula Community Foundation, which currently has four affiliates, serves as a "holding company" should any of the very small U.P. communities chose to affiliate with a larger entity. As the final application cycle for MCFYP approach (Spring, 1997) two issues have become evident in the growth and expansion of community foundations in the Upper Peninsula. First, many of the rural community foundations do not have the ability to organize in time to take advantage of the challenge program. Second, a number of the smaller community foundations are having difficulties raising the needed operating funds for a part-time staff A portion of the second W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant ( P0029713) has been designated to provide support for fund development assistance for the rural community foundations and for financial incentives for smaller community foundations to merge with larger, neighboring community foundations. Two full time staff have been retained in 1996 to help address these needs. Specialized fund development training is being provided by the Indiana Center on Philanthropy. The Kellogg Youth Initiative Partnership serving Marquette and Alger counties continues to support the development of this U.P.-wide infrastructure for philanthropy. Computer Project To date 33 community foundations have had FIMS installed while 5 are waiting for installation, by August 1996. A new concept to provide centralized Financial Information Management System (FIMS) service for community foundations in the Upper Peninsula will be piloted beginning in the fall of 1996. The Marquette Community Foundation and the Community Foundation for Delta County will serve as computer HUBS for satellite community foundations throughout the Upper Peninsula, initially with the Baraga County Community Foundation and the Dickinson County Community Foundation. If successful, this concept will be replicated in the lower peninsula. Using existing funds in the computer grant the consultant will be retained through June 1997 to assist the community foundations. i : dmers\cmfbr~upporg96\projud �5 Youth Violence Prevention Challenge Grant This initiative is part of a $210,000 grant from the C. S. Mott Foundation to work with foundations and corporations in Michigan to stimulate violence prevention strategies. YACs and other community foundations and youth serving organizations that attended the National Youth Philanthropy Conference are eligible for a grant of up to $1,000 to match their own funds in an equal amount. Partnership for National Service- Service as Strategy Initiative As part of the $110,000 grant received from the Partnership for National Service, $20,000 is earmarked for twenty $1,000 matching grants to YACs for projects involving youth in community service through AmeriCorps or another entity. Other activities included in this grant support the ongoing service efforts of the AmeriCorps programs operating with the geographic service area of four Michigan community foundations. i:dmers\cmfbrd\mpporg96'progud �6 MCFYP Challenge Grant Update The following charts describe by round the progress being made on the challenge.

These fmancial statements are the responsibility of MCFYP 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 fmancial 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 opinion. In our opinion, the fmancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MCFYP at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note A to the fmancial statements, MCFYP restated and changed the presentation of its financial statements as a result of adopting Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, and No. 117, Financial Statements ofNot-for-Profit Organizations.

MCFYP was formed for the primary purpose of administering a project that commenced in 1988, which was funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. MCFYP is aimed at encouraging youth development in local communities while strengthening community foundation leadership and grant-making capacity. CMF had 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 restrictions defined by the grant agreement. MCFYP has a separate Board of Trustees appointed by CMF's Board of Trustees to oversee the grant-making activities of MCFYP. Since its 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 the complete cost of administrating MCFYP and its 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. An administrative services agreement exists between CMF and MCFYP. The administrative agreement requires CMF to provide executive, management, administrative and other such services that the supporting organization may require. The charges for these services, $741,610 and $755,397 for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, are reflected in MCFYP's statements of activities and changes in net assets. 7 --, �16 Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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 wrrealized 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. MCFYP's Board of Trustees has designated that investment income earned on project assets will be used to fund community foundation programming beyond the year 2000. Change in Accounting Principles and Presentation During fiscal 1996, MCFYP adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 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 fmancial reporting by not-for-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., wrrestricted, 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 promise is received. Promises made (e.g., grants) by MCFYP are conditional and are recorded as an expense and a liability when the condition is met by the recipient. MCFYP 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 with 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 $2,900,000 and increased the April 1, 1994 net asset balance by approximately $22,100,000. 8 �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project 17 Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Net Asset Classifications The two net asset groups used for reporting purposes in the accompanying 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 Board to be used for a specific purpose. Temporarily Restricted Net Assets-Reflect contributed assets whose use by MCFYP has been limited by donors for a specific time period or purpose.

July 1, 1995- June 30, 1996 �2 I. Introduction. The Michigan AIDS Fund owes its start to a November 1989 vision of key leaders of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), and the early support of several visionary CMF-member Foundations. Together, they were convinced that the AIDS epidemic in Michigan offered an opportunity for an unprecedented, pooled-fund philanthropic response to a major health problem. At that time there were 1.466 AIDS reported AIDS cases in Michigan, with an estimate of an additional 3-4 thousand infected. Incorporated as a CMF supporting organization in 1994, the Fund has become a national model as well as a trusted partner in communities across Michigan. In recent years it has established productive and collaborative linkages with Federal and State AIDS funders. Through its ambitious grantmaking program, it has become the leading source of private funding in the battle against the AIDS epidemic in Michigan. And it has done all this in 1996 recognizing that, for all we've done to fight the epidemic in our State, there are now 7.393 reported AIDS cases, an increase of over 500% since our founding, with estimates of an additional 8-12 thousand infected. And now we know the alarming truth: Most who carry the virus that results in AIDS are unaware of their own infections --they've never been tested, so their capacity to spread the epidemic is largely unchecked. II. Character & Scope. The Michigan AIDS Fund, operating under a Board representing philanthropy and expertise in AIDS-related issues, serves the CMF membership by providing a planned and unified, statewide philanthropic response to AIDS in Michigan. Our funding is received from all types of CMF members (public, private and community foundations as well as corporate members and trusts), in addition to individual donors. We are truly statewide: board members come from Southeastern Michigan but also the Upper Peninsula and grants are made into every region of the State. To the extent that available funding allows, we intend not only to respond to the consequences of the epidemic in hard-hit communities with high incidence rates, but also to anticipate and help prevent the epidemic in communities whose combined educational efforts can help resist AIDS. III. MAF Mission. To support efforts to stop the spread of HIVI AIDS and to alleviate the suffering of those infected and affected by HIVI AIDS. IV. Major Objectives: 1996 A. To manage a statewide pooled fund for AIDS-related organizations in the State of Michigan. 1. MAF received eighty-nine letters of intent during the past year, requested 42 full proposals and, after staff and Program Committee review, awarded 34 grants (including some �3 categorized as "emergency/opportunity grants"). Grants for our 1995-96 grant year (July-June) represented the fifth granting cycle and totaled $664,909. A more complete description of these grants is available from the Michigan AIDS Fund for those interested in a detailed review. In overview, about half of all grants were made in Southeastern Michigan, mainly Detroit, where nearly 70 percent of AIDS cases have been reported. 2. MAF introduced each grantee (100% participation) to the MAF grant-implementation-and-evaluation process through four regional networking conferences. 3. Through collaboration with State and Federal funding resources for AIDS-related projects, MAF was able this past year to lead a statewide service for foundations, corporate donors and all AIDS funders enabling all of us to avoid redundancy and overlap. This initiative has now become a quarterly round table meeting of all HIVI AIDS Funders of Michigan. · 4. During the past year, the Fund leveraged public and private national funds from the (public) Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the (private) National AIDS Fund for specific projects in Michigan. If added to the two-thirds of a million dollars the Fund distributed through grants, these funds would have brought us near to $1 million in statewide delivery. An example is the Brewster Homes Demonstration Project which is employing a highly-successful Opinion Leader model of HIVprevention outreach, based on extensive research and evaluation of changing high-risk behavior. This model, developed by Dr. Jeff Kelly (Medical College, University of Wisconsin), is now being tested in a Detroit public housing project -- with a companion demonstration project in Atlanta, Georgia -- with the goal of disseminating "Opinion-Leader Peer Outreach HIV Prevention" programs to other U.S. urban neighborhoods. 5. Owing to a $30,000 grant from the Consolidated Rail Corporation, the Fund was able to expand a statewide HIVI AIDS Peer Education Project by awarding four grants serving cities Page 2 �4 located directly in the path of -- and hardest hit by -- the AIDS epidemic: Peer Education Project - Grand Rapids HYPE Theater Troupe - Benton Harbor Lifelines Theater Troupe- Detroit (Inkster) Comer Theater Troupe - Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor B. To provide technical assistance, information, and networking for grantees, foundation and corporate grant makers. 1. Through a series of on-site visits, telephone conferences, regular correspondence and occasional publications, the Fund maintained communication with grantees and provided a broad range of technical assistance. Several grant recipients (Children's Immune Disorder, Berried AIDS Coalition, Bay Area Social Intervention Services and others) were granted special awards to build their own fundraising and governance capacity. 2. Increasingly Michigan foundations and corporations have relied on advice from the Michigan AIDS Fund regarding AIDS-related requests. We now serve as a 11 clearing house 11 and information resource for Michigan funders. During the past year, the Fund's staff -- often, aided by select trustees -- responded to fourteen requests for in-depth grant making counsel from Michigan grant makers. 3. C. Eight peer-review teams (conjoint visits) and peer-assistance programs, coordinated by MAF staff, helped local grantees build program and governance capacity. To implement the first year of a long-range development plan to broaden and diversify base of financial support. 1. The Fund's Development Committee established five strategies for expanding the Fund's expansion: (a) increase foundation support, (b) increase corporate support, (c) secure individual donor support in Friends of MAF Campaign, (d) expand reporting, and (e) explore establishing an MAF endowment fund. Page 3 �5 2. MAF accomplished all goals for the first four strategies but has chosen to consider an endowment fund only in the context of a broader discussion among, and perhaps in partnership with, Michigan's community foundations. Our commitment remains to be, in all fund-development efforts, noncompetitive both with potential grant recipients and with all CMF members. And our consideration of an endowment fund will respect that commitment. 3. MAF secured a Metro Health Foundation Challenge Grant ($25,000 with a 2:1 match) to secure new donors in the $10-250 category. This match was successfully accomplished and raised $14,870 in new donor gifts. This also provided an ideal "Friends of MAF" mailing list for the first issue of The Journal, a MAF newsletter now being launched (October/November 1996). 4. Having outgrown the guidelines to qualify for the National AIDS Fund $75,000 challenge grant (MAF is now a Senior Partner), the Fund needed to locate a "new" $75,000 to meet this year's $900,000 fundraising goal. This was achieved through increased foundation support, new corporate support, and individual gifts in the $10-$250 range. 5. Total funds raised for the 1995-96 campaign amounted to $912,870, pleasantly over the $900,000 goal we had earlier adopted for reporting purposes, and $102,450 above the earlier Development Committee estimate of funds needed.

Through its grant making program and by way of constant staff contact, the Fund supported the HNI AIDS Alliance of Michigan, a group dedicated to serve as a "monitoring body" and public policy advisory group in Michigan. While the Fund is keenly aware of its purpose, which does not include lobbying, we are also aware of our responsibility to inform the philanthropic community regarding public policy issues that impact of philanthropy's role in the AIDS epidemic. 2. MAF staff and board of trustees successfully petitioned, with many others, public officials to re-authorize federal HN/AIDS funding through the Ryan White Care Act. 3. MAF played a key role as a participant in the National AIDS Fund and the Cities Advocating Emergency AIDS Relief. Through this national initiative, the Fund itself serves as a model for philanthropy in other states, as well as providing support for appropriate AIDS public policy initiatives. To disseminate MAF activities to raise public awareness of Fund activities. In the Spring (1996), the Fund board of trustees and staff together embraced an ambitious plan for increased communication through publications and on-line options. That plan is now unfolding with new periodicals scheduled to appear before the close of 1996. Page 6 �8 Meanwhile, F. G. 1. Articles appeared regularly in the CMF publication, The Michigan Scene, and the monthly newsletter, Memo to Members. 2. An annual report was produced which was mailed to all Michigan Foundations and corporate donor programs. 3. MAF Executive Director Earl Schipper participated in Title I Ryan White evaluations for distribution of federal funds and took an active role in regional groups responsible for distribution of CDC Title IT funds for prevention and continuum of care. 4. The Michigan AIDS Fund was featured in a two-installment article which appeared in Michigan Medicine, a respected publication of the Michigan State Medical Society which reaches nearly 12,000 physicians and health care providers in Michigan. To develop and monitor evaluation plans for grantees and conduct an external evaluation of the Michigan AIDS Fund. 1. Two evaluation workshops, "Five-Year MAF Summary Outcomes Evaluation" and "Long Range Implications for the Fund," were presented by Harder+Company of San Francisco, CA, at the Summer '96 MAF Board of Trustees retreat meeting. (A summary of this report is planned for presentation to the CMF Board of Trustees by Mr. Harder, President of Harder+ Company). 2. The 1996 Conference on AIDS included evaluation skillsbuilding workshops led by Dr. James Sanders of Western Michigan University's Evaluation Center and Melanie Hwalek, President of SPEC Associates. 3. 1995-96 Granting Conferences included guidelines for program evaluation and improved the evaluation component of end-of-year reports significantly. Seventyfive percent of grantees prepared evaluations which were rated "good" or "excellent. " To conduct AIDS-related conferences and workshops. Page 7 �9 1. In addition to the annual Michigan Conference on AIDS, MAF co-sponsored a first-time (May 15, 1996) conference "AIDS in Rural Michigan Communities" held in Traverse City, attracting 168 physicians and health care providers from rural areas. The conference was telecast to five rural satellite locations in northern lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. 2. MAF also sponsored the annual Peer Educators Conference, "A Wake Up Call," held this year at Eastern Michigan University. Attendance was overwhelming: 325 peer educators active in HIV/AIDS outreach programs joined us at the Conference, and eighty percent of these were peer educators ages 18 or younger. Evidence that the rate of new infections is increasing among young people in Michigan raises the importance of peer-led HIVI AIDS prevention programs. And such evidence is worth noting for those of us within the philanthropic community. In Michigan, one of four new infections is reported in the age 2029 category. Noting the latency period of the virus, now typically four-to-six years, public health officers believe many were infected as teenagers. As a result, the Fund has established peer-led outreach to highrisk teens as a funding priority for 1997. 3. Several MAF grants were awarded to conduct AIDS-specific workshops. For example, AIDS Interfaith Network of Detroit sponsored a retreat for care givers and Hospice of Southeastern Michigan delivered "Hospice and AIDS" workshops in rural Michigan communities, both supported by (in part) MAF funding. 4. The Statewide 1996 Michigan Conference on AIDS was held in April, 1996 at Ypsilanti, Michigan. Under the theme, "Michigan Shares Lessons Learned/New Challenges: HIVI AIDS," 341 attended and many rated the conference as the best ever put on by the Fund. A kick-off workshop put on by the National Coalition Building Institute proved to be a remarkable introduction for the Conference. Although the conference featured keynote addresses Page 8 �10 by Sister Rae Lewis Thornton (HIV-positive activist) and the team of Robert Getz and Byron Welch (Fundraising, board governance workshops), most sessions were led by peers who made presentations drawing on past experiences, successes and failures, in order to meet new challenges. A final Volunteer/Board Day provided networking and skills-building workshops for volunteer support staff and leaders of grantee organizations. (A conference brochure is attached for your review.) V. Conclusion. The Michigan AIDS Fund will continue to expand the statewide philanthropic response to AIDS. We are working diligently to secure necessary resources through existing and new donor partnerships. The MAF Board's leaders are determined to continue challenging the spread of HNI AIDS while alleviating the suffering of people infected and affected by AIDS. We are encouraged by reports that the number of new HN infections has leveled off, perhaps declined slightly, in areas where we have supported peer-led prevention troupes and harm-reduction outreach programs. And we are never far from the reality that, for all our efforts, the virus is more active than we. We are, as Fund staff and grant recipients, deeply grateful for 1995-96 support from CMF member foundations and the extraordinary guidance and counsel of trustees drawn from these foundation who have shaped MAF into the exemplary U.S. model of statewide, philanthropic collaboration to combat the AIDS epidemic. While a cure eludes us still, we rededicate ourselves to the urgent task of halting the most devastating epidemic in American history, and of assuring compassionate care for those whose lives will end before we defeat that epidemic.

These financial statements are the responsibility of 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 our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Michigan AIDS Fund at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, the Michigan AIDS Fund restated and changed the presentation of its financial statements as a result of adopting Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, and No. 117, Financial Statements ofNot-for-Profit Organizations.

MAF became a pooled fund, with volunteer leadership representing grantmakers who agreed to a uniform collaborative approach to funding the complex needs presented by AIDS in Michigan. In November 1993, MAF became a separate Michigan corporation qualifying as a supporting organization of CMF. CMF's Board of Trustees exercises significant control over MAF through the appointment of MAP's board members. >------.. MAF is managed by an independent consulting firm that provides project management staffing and support services. These professional services are negotiated each year under a contract with CMF. Short-term Investments Short-term investments consist of money market funds that are carried at fair market value, which equals cost. Change in Accounting Principles and Presentation During fiscal 1996, MAF 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 MAF are recorded as an expense and a liability when approved by the governing board of MAF. 5 �'· 17 Michigan AIDS Fund Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Change in Accounting Principles and Presentation (continued) MAF restated its net asset balances (formerly fund balances) as of April1, 1994 and adopted the new classifications for the fiscal 1995 fmancial statements to conform with the accounting and fmancial 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 decreased the change in net assets previously reported for the year ended March 31, 1995 by approximately $245,000 and increased the April1, 1994 net as~et balance by approximately $959,000. Net Asset Classifications The two net asset groups used for reporting purposes in the accompanying financial statements are as follows: Unrestricted Net Assets-Reflect assets which have not been restricted as to use by donors other than to be used in pursuing the overall purpose for which MAF exists. Temporarily Restricted Net Assets-Reflect contributed assets whose use by MAF has been limited by donors for a specific time period or purpose. Grants Unconditional grants are recognized as an expense at the time the Board of Trustees formally approves them. Grants payable recorded in the accompanying balance sheets are generally expected to be paid within one year. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the fiscal 1995 financial statements have been reclassified for CQmparative purposes to conform with the presentation used in the fiscal 1996 financial statements. 6 �.,• J' 18 Michigan AIDS Fund Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Note B-Federal Tax Status The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that MAF is a public charity, exempt from federal income tax as described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC). MAF is classified as a supporting organization, as specified under the provisions of IRC Section 509(a)(3). Note C-Contributions Receivable MAF's contributions receivable at March 31, 1996 consist of unconditional promises receivable as follows: Receivable in fiscal 1997 Receivable in fiscal 1998 Less present value discount at prime (8.25% at March 31, 1996) Net contributions receivable $321,500 300,000 621,500 (45,488) $576,012 All contributions receivable at March 31, 1995 were received within one year. An unconditional promise represents a promise made by grantors/contributors to give specified amounts to MAF in the future which are not contingent on MAF performing any specific substantive actions (e.g., raising matching amounts). 7 �19 Michigan AIDS Fund Investment Portfolio Performance June 30, 1996 Quarter Ending 9/30/95 NBD Woodward Money Market Quarter Ending 12/31/95 1.37% 1.44% Quarter Ending 3/31/96 Quarter Ending 6/30/96 Previous 12 Months 1.36% 1.28% 5.45% Bench Marks NBD Woodward Equity Index 6.41% 5.38% 5.31% 4.04% 21 .14% US Treasury Securities 1.41% 1.27% 1.37% 1.41% 5.46% S&P 500 7.94% 6.02% 5.37% 4.48% 23.81% AI DSRTNJ<LS 10/10/96 dlindberg/invest/ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

NATURE OF EMPLOYMENT This handbook is intended to provide employees with a general understanding ofCMF's personnel policies. Employees should familiarize themselves with the contents ofthis handbook, for it will answer many common questions concerning employment with C:ME. However, this handbook cannot anticipate every situation or answer every question about employment. It is not an employment contract and is not intended to create contractual obligations of any kind. Neither the employee nor CMF is bound to continue the employment relationship if either chooses. Either may choose, without cause or reason, and with or without notice, to end this employment relationship. In order to retain necessary flexibility in the administration ofpolicies and procedures, CMF reseiVes the right to change, revise, or eliminate any of the policies and/or benefits descnoed in this handbook, except for its policy of employment at-will. The only recognized deviations from the stated policies are those authorized and signed by the President or Chief Operating Officer of CMF. B.EQUALEMPLOYMENTOPPOR~ In order to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, employment decisions at CMF will be based on merit, qualifications, and abilities. CMF does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, marital or military status, or any other characteristic protected by law. CMF will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities, unless doing so would result in an undue hardship. This policy governs all aspects of employment, including selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination, and access to benefits and training. Under Michigan law, an applicant or employee who is handicapped must notify CMF in writing of accommodations required within 182 days after he or she knew, or should have known, of the need for accommodations. The failure to timely notify CMF ofthe need for accommodations may result in the loss oflegal rights. Auy employees with questions or concerns about any type of discrimination in the workplace are eneouraged to bring these issues to the attention of their immediate supervisor. Employees can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal Anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, Ml 49417 Page I �-·-··- - -- ---------------------------, L Introduction continued C. LIMITATION ON CLAIMS I understand that any claim I might pursue against CMF, or any of its agents or representatives, upon the termination of my employment with CMF, must be brought within nine (9) months of the date of termination. I knowingly waive any limitations period which allows a longer time to bring a claim. If this provision is found to be legally unenforceable as writteri, it shall be interpreted and followed to allow enforcement of as short a p~riod of time as is legally possible. D. EMPWYMENT CATEGORIES It is the intent of CMF to cJ.ari1Y the definitions of employment classifications so that employees understand their employment status and benefit eligibility. These classifications do not guarantee employment for any specified period of time. Accordingly, the right to terminate the employment relationship at will, at any time, is retained by both the employee and CMF. Each employee is designated as either NON-EXEMPT or EXEMPT from federal and state wage and hour laws. NON-EXEMPT employees are entitled to overtime pay under the specific provisions of federal and state laws. EXEMPT employees are excluded from specific provisions of federal and state wage and hour laws. An employee's EXEMPT or NON-EXEMPT classification may be changed only upon written notification by CMF's management. In addition to the above categories, each employee will belong to one other employment category: REGULAR FULL-TIME employees are those who worked at least 32 hours/week for the last six months or are hired to work at least 32 hours/week and are not in a temporary or introductory status. Generally, they are elig~ole for CMF's benefit package, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each benefit program. PART-TIME employees are those who are not assigned to a temporary or introductory status and who are regularly scheduled to work less than 32 hours per week. While they do receive all legally mandated benefits (such as Social Security and workers' compensation insurance), they are ineligible for all ofCMF's other benefit programs. TEMPORARY employees are those who are hired as interim replacements to temporarily supplement the work force, or to assist in the completion of a specific project. Employment assignments in this category are of a limited duration. Employment beyond any initially stated period does not in any way imply a change in employment status. Temporary employees retain that status unless and until notified of a change. While temporary employees receive all legally mandated benefits (such as workers' compensation insurance and Social Security), they are ineligible for all ofCMF's other benefit programs. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, MI 49417 Page 2 �II. Policies & Procedures A. INTRODUCfORY PERIOD '· The introductory period is intended to give new employees the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to achieve a satisfactory level ofperformance and to determine whether the new position meets their expectations. C:MF uses this period to evaluate employee capabilities, work habits, and overall performance. Either the employee or CMF may encf the employment relationship at will at any time during or after the introductory period, with or without cause or advance notice. All new and re-hired employees work on an introductory basis for the first 90 calendar days after their date ofhire. Any absence of one week or more will automatically extend an introductory period by the length of the absence. The introductory period may be extended for a specified period at the discretion ofCMF. Upon satisfactory completion of the introductory period, employees enter the "regular" employment classification. Employees should read the information for each specific benefits program for the details on eligloility requirements. B. EMPLOYEE 1.\fEDICAL EXAMINATIONS To help assure that employees are able to perform their duties safely, medical examinations may be required. After an offer has been made to an applicant entering a designated job category, a medical examination may be performed at CMF's expense by a health professional ofCMF's choice. The offer of employment and assignment to duties is contingent upon satisfactory completion of the exam based on the essential functions, physical demands and work environment ofthe job. After employment, employees may be asked to take a physical exam if a question regarding health arises. Information on an employee's medical condition or history will be kept separate from other employee information and maintained confidentially. Access to this information will be limited to those who have a legitimate need to know. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, MI 49417 Page 3 �II. Policies & Procedures continued C. BONDING REQUIREMENT All employees are covered under a 11fidelity bond11 insurance policy cani.ed by the Council of Michigan Foundations. Should an applicant or employee perform any act which would render him/her not bondable, the rescission of an offer of employment or termination of employment would be necessary. , D. POTENTIAL CONFLicrs OF INTEREST Employees have a full-time responsibility to the Council of Michigan Foundations. They may not engage in activities that might interfere with the discharge of this responsibility or in transactions that reasonably might affect the judgment they exercise on behalf of the Council ofMichigan Foundations. E. PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS Two basic principles provide general guidance to CMF employees with respect to participation in political affairs. The first is a recognition that CMF employees are, when acting in their capacity as private citizens, free to engage in political affairs, including participation in election campaigns. Such participation must be, of course, on their own time and with their own resources and facilities. The second is that in their capacity as employees, they must cany out CMF's activities clearly within the boundaries of the law and in ways that maintain public confidence in CMF as an independent, non-partisan organization dedicated to educational and charitable purposes. F. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION Supervisors and employees are strongly encouraged to discuss job performance and goals on an informal basis. A performance evaluation will be conducted at the end of an employee's initial period ofhire, known as the introductory period. At least annually, evaluations are conducted to provide both supervisors and employees the opportunity to discuss job tasks, identify and correct weaknesses, encourage and recognize strengths, and discuss positive, purposeful approaches for meeting goals. The review of the President will be conducted by the Executive Committee. G. TIMEKEEPING Accurately recording time worked is the responsibility of every non-exempt employee. Federal and state laws require CMF to keep an accurate record of time worked in order to calculate employee pay and benefits. Time worked is all the time actually spent on the job performing assigned duties. dlindberg/personnellcmfpolcy/Octl 996 COUNCIL OP MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, Ml 49417 Page 4 �H. Policies & Procedures continued G. TIMEKEEPING continued ~. Time records should show the following information: • Employee'sname • Payperiod • Hours worked/day • Employee's signature • Supervisor's signature Non-exempt employees should accurately record the time they begin and end their work, as well as the beginning and ending time of each meal period They should also accurately record the beginning and ending time of any split shift or departure .from work for personal reasons. Altering, &Jsi1Ying, tampering with time records, or recording time on another employee's time record is proln"bited If corrections or modifications are made to the time record, both the employee and the supeJ.Visor must verifY the accuracy of the changes by initialing the time record H. OVERTIME When operating requirements or other needs cannot be met during regular work hours, employees will be given the opportunity to volunteer for overtime work assignments. All overtime work must receive the supervisor's prior authorization. Overtime assignments will be offered as equitably as practical to all employees qualified to perform the required work. Overtime compensation is paid to all non-exempt employees in accordance with federal and state wage and hour restrictions (in excess of 40 hours worked per week). Overtime pay is based on actual hours worked Tune off for sick leave, vacation leave, or any leave of absence will not be considered hours worked for pwposes ofperforming overtime calculations. Holiday hours for which the employee is paid will not be counted towards hours 11actually worked.. in determining eligibility for overtime payment for that week. ·Employees who work overtime without receiving prior authorization from the supervisor may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including possible termination of employment. Extra working hours have been accommodated for in the salary levels of all salaried employees. dlindberg/personnellcmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, Ml 49417 Page 5 �n. Policies & Procedures continued L PAYDAYS All employees are paid bi-weekly on every other Friday. J. EMPWYMENT TERMINATION '· Termination of employment is an inevitable part of personnel activity within any organization, and many of the reasons for termination are routine. Below are eXamples of some ofthe most common circumstances under which employment is terminated: RESIGNATION- voluntary employment termination initiated by an employee with or .;without notice and with or without cause. .·DISCHARGE - involuntary employment termination initiated by the organization with or - without notice and with or without cause. IAYOFF - involuntary employment termination initiated by the organization for nondisciplinary reasons. RETIREMENT - voluntary employment termination initiated by the employee meeting age, length of service, and any other criteria for retirement from the organization. CMF will generally schedule exit interviews at the time of employment termination. The exit interview will afford an opportunity to discuss such issues as employee benefits, conversion privileges, repayment of outstanding debts to CMF, or return of property owned by CMF. Suggestions, complaints, and questions can also be voiced. Employee benefits will be affected by employment termination in the following manner. All accrued, vested vacation benefits that are due will be payable at the time of termination. Some benefits (pursuant to COBRA) may be continued at the employee's expense if the employee so chooses. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, Ml 49417 Page 6 �n. Policies & Procedures continued K. SAFETY To assist in providing a safe and healthful work environment for employees, customers, and visitors, CMF has established a workplace safety program This program is a top priority for CMF. Its success depends on the alertness and personal commitment of all._... ·~ · CMF provides information to employees about workplace safety and health issues through regular internal comJDJmication channels such as supervisor-employee meetings, bulletin board postings, memos, or other written communications. Each employee is expected to obey safety rules and to exercise caution in all work activities. Employees must immediately report any unsafe condition to the appropriate supeiVisor. Employees who violate safety standards, who cause hazardous or dangerous situations, or who &il to report or, where appropriate, remedy such situations, may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. In the case of accidents that result in injury, regardless ofhow insignificant the injury may appear, employees must immediately notifY the appropriate supeiVisor. Such reports are necessary to comply with laws and initiate insurance and workers' compensation benefits procedures. L. WORK SCHEDULES The normal work schedule for all employees is 8:00 a.m to 5:00p.m (with a one hour unpaid lunch) for 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Staffing needs and operational demands may necessitate variations in starting and ending times, as well as variations in the total hours that may be scheduled each day and week. M. SMOKING In keeping with CMF's intent to provide a safe and healthful work environment, smoking in the building is prohibited. Smoking outside the building in designated areas will be allowed. This policy applies equally to all employees, customers, and visitors. dlindberg/personneUcmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, Ml 49417 Page 7 �Ill.

Employee Benefits continued D. SICKPAY In order to fulfill the duties and respoD.Sloilities of one's job, each employee is expected to report ~. to work on a daily basis.

The employee shall remit to the Council ofMichigan Foundations_the fees received for july duty, less expenses, by endorsing checks over to CMF. 3. In the event that the absence of an employee from work over a long period oftime would cause a hardship on the Council of Michigan Foundations, CMF may petition the july selection committee to excuse the employee from jury duty. Also, the individual may personally petition to be excused from jury duty if doing so would cause a hardship on his or her family. 4. Ifthe employee is released from jury duty part way through the day, with a least 3 hours left in the work day, they must return to work to finish out the day. ~. G. BEREAVEMENT LEAVE Bereavement leave is granted so an employee need not have the shock of a death in the immediate family compounded by a loss of pay.

Employee Benefits continued H. UNPAID LEAVES OF ABSENCE continued CMF may be obliged to hire another person to replace the one on leave. Employees whose employment is terminated under this circumstance will be considered for re-employment on an individual basis. L SHORT-TERM DISABILITY Following the completion of one year of employment (from date of hire), each full-time employee will be eligtole for one week's worth of short-term disability coverage for each year of service. Additional weeks will accrue on April 1 of each year, up to a maximum of 13 weeks. Example: Employee A is hired on 8-22-94. On 8-22-95 the employee will be eligible for 1 week's worth of short-term coverage. On 4-1-96 they become eligible for 2 weeks of coverage. Short-term disability coverage represents benefits payable to the employee for non-work related injuries, illness or other qualified medical disability (including pregnancy). These benefits are not covered through an insurance policy and will be provided to the employee by CMF through a self-funded policy. Eligibility for short-term coverage will be dependent upon the appropriate verification from the employee's physician. Short-term disability coverage will be available to the employee if they are unable to return to work for five continuous days due to non-work related injuries, illness or other qualified medical disability (including pregnancy). Short-term disability coverage will begin on the sixth continuous day that an employee is unable to return to work. Coverage for the first five days will be covered under the sick day policy. If the employee does not have enough sick days remaining to cover the first five days of short-term disability, the employee may draw upon their unused vacation days available. Employees will be covered at 100% of their normal weekly pay, for hourly employees this would be based on 40 hours per week. Regardless of the number of days eligible for short-term disability coverage, employees will continue to receive medical coverage during the first 90 calendar days of short-term disability or until the end of the month in which the 90 days expire. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, MI 49417 Page 13 �. ··· ------- -------- --------------------------~ III. Employee Benefits continued L SHORT-TERM DISABILITY continued ~ "''""' In the event that an employee uses up his/her short-term disability coverage in any given fiscal year, he/she will accrue an additional week's worth of coverage on a yearly basis in the following years. Example: ~. Employee B has accrued the full I3 weeks short-term disability as ofApril I, I996. Employee B is sick for 3 weeks during the year April I, I996 to March 3I, I997.

Employee Benefits continued N. TUITION REIMBURSEMENT continued • • • ~. • • • Courses should be taken during non-business hours. Courses taken during normal business hours will only be allowed as nmtually agreed upon between the Director ofFmance & Administration and the employee. It is expected that course work will be scheduled so as to be compat1ole with CMF' s staffing needs and work schedules, and that course loads will be within the individual's capacity so as not to interfere with the performance of their duties at CMF. During the month of August, employees should submit a request for their anticipated tuition reimbursement amount for the upcoming school year, to the Director ofFinance & Administration. Subject to budgetary constraints, management at its discretion, may limit the total amount of funds available for reimbursement during any given year. Tax law relative to educational reimbursements has been subject to many changes and interpretations since 1983. Accordingly, some forms of reimbursements may be subject to inclusion in the employee's taxable income. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy /Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, MI 49417 Page 16 �IV. Employee Conduct, Work Rules & Other Policies A. A1TENDANCE AND PUNCI'UAUI'Y '· To maintain a safe and productive work environment, C.MF expects employees to be reliable and to be punctual in reporting for scheduled work. Absenteeism and tardiness place a bmden on other employees and on CMF. In the rare instances when employees cannot ,avoid being late to work or are unable to work as scheduled, they should noti1Y their supeiVisor as soon as possible in advance of the anticipated tardiness or absence. Poor attendance and excessive tardiness are disruptive. Either will lead to disciplinacy action, up to and including termination of employment. B. DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE It is CMF's desire to provide a drug-free, healthful, and safe workplace. To promote this goal, employees are required to report to work in appropriate mental and physical condition to petform their jobs in a satisfactoxy manner. While on CMF premises and while conducting business-related activities off CMF premises, no employee may use, possess, distribute, sell, or be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. The legal use ofprescn"bed drugs is permitted on the job only if it does not impair an employee's ability to petform the essential functions of the job effectively and in a safe manner that does not endanger other individuals in the workplace. Legal drugs used or obtained in an illegal manner are proht"bited. Violations of this policy will lead to disciplinacy action, up to and including immediate termination of employment, and/or required participation in a substance abuse rehabilitation or treatment program at the employee's expense. Such violations may also have legal consequences. C. SEXUAL AND OTHER UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT CMF is Committed to providing a work environment that is free of discrimination and unlawful harassment. Actions, words, jokes, or comments based on an individual's sex, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or any other legally protected characteristic will not be tolerated. As an example, sexual harassment (both overt and subtle) is a form of employee misconduct thai is demeaning to another person, undermines the integrity of the employment relationship, and is strictly prohibited. Any employee who wants to report an incident of sexual or other unlawful harassment should promptly report the matter to the Director ofFinance & Administration. If the Director of Finance & Administration is unavailable or the employee believes it would be inappropriate to contact that person, the employee should immediately contact the President or Chief Operating Officer. Employees can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal. dlindberg/personneUcmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, Ml 49417 Page 17 �IV. Employee Conduct, Work Rules & Other Policies continued C. SEXUAL AND OTHER UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT continued Any supervisor or manager who becomes aware of possible sexual or other unlawful harassment should promptly advise the President or any member of management who will handle the matter in a timely and confidential manner. Anyone engaging in sexual or other unlawful harassment will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. If a non-employee of CMF believes an employee of CMF has subjected her/him to any unlawful harassment, he or she can immediately contact the Director ofFinance & Administration of the Council of Michigan Foundations. If an employee believes she/he has been the subject of unlawful harassment by a non-employee, such as a member or vendor during work time or in relation to the employee's work, immediate contact must be made with the Director ofFinance & Administration. In either case, an investigation will be undertaken. After an appropriate investigation, if CMF finds that a non-employee has unlawfully harassed an employee during work time or in relation to the employee's work, appropriate action will be taken, to the extent feasible. CMF prohibits any retaliation against an employee or client who, in good faith, has made a complaint (either verbal or in writing) under this policy. Any employee of CMF who, after reasonable investigation, has been determined to have retaliated against an employee or nonemployee for making a good faith complaint, may be subject to discipline up to and including immediate discharge. Any person who believes that she or he has been retaliated against for exercising rights under this policy, should use the complaint procedure described above. D. EXPENSERE~BURSEMENT Whenever an employee uses his/her personal automobile on behalf of the Council of Michigan Foundations, reimbursement, at a rate currently allowed by the IRS, will be made. Other expenses incurred on behalf of the Council of Michigan Foundations that have a legitimate business purpose will be reimbursed to the employee. An Expense Report form must be completed and submitted to the Director ofFinance & Administration. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OP MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, MI 49417 Page 18 �IV.

ELECIRONIC & VOICE MAIL The Council of Michigan Foundations has established electronic and voice mail networks to facilitate business communication. It is CMF's hope that, through proper use of these systems, a number of important business objectives might be achieved. These objectives include, but are not limited to: • Enhanced communication: facilitating faster written communication to one or more individuals simultaneously. • Greater organization efficiency: providing greater information, to more people, facilitating productivity and decision making. • Improved resource utilization: providing a more economical means of communicating than written letters and over-night mail, requiring less preparation time and paper resources. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, MI 49417 Page 20 �W. Employee Conduct, Work Rules & Other Policies continued G. ELECfRONIC & VOICE MAIL continued All electronic mail (e-mail) md voice mail system users should exercise the same good judgment in utilizing these tools as they would any other organization resource. To maximize the systems' positive impact, a number of specific rules have been established to guide us in their use: ·• • To protect the integrity of system information, each e-mail and voice mail user should establish his or her own secret passwords, change these passwords often, and not divulge them to others. • Unless authorized to access someone else's electronic files, employees must observe and respect the confidentiality ofthe files of co-workers. · • Third parties who access CMF' s electronic systems are expected to abide by all policies and procedures applicable to the systems use. • CMF e-mail md voice mail networks are to be used for business communication purposes only. Occasionally, a personal call or e-mail message may be necessary. Please limit these communications to emergencies or essential personal business. • E-mail messages between employees, members, and other business contacts in lieu of formal, typed correspondence must be treated as formal documents and stored in hard copy in accordance with CMF's policy for document storage. • Employees must obtain proper authorization before communicating confidential information to individuals outside ofCMF. Employees should consult their supervisors for clarification as to whether or not specific documents or information can be transmitted. • CMF will not monitor e-mail and voice mail communications as a routine matter. These messages are, however, the property of CMF which has the capability and expressly reserves the right to access, review, copy and delete my messages sent, received or stored on the e-mail or voice systems (business or personal), and to disclose them to any party it deems appropriate. By using the CMF e-mail or voice mail systems, each user consents to CMF' s rights in this regard. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, MI 49417 Page 21 �W.

Use of the e-mail or voice mail systems to engage in any unlawful activity, enterprise or scheme is strictly prohibited. Users are proluoited from using the sy~ems in any other way that is in violation of the law or CMF' s policy, including but not limited to transmission of defamatory, obscene, offensive or harassing messages; messages that disclose personal information without authorization; and/or the transmission of any documents, software or other information protected by the copyright laws. The above policy cannot anticipate evecy problem or issue which may be encountered in operating voice mail and e-mail systems. As electronic technology evolves, so will the need to amend this policy. Consequently, CMF may make such changes to this and other policies as circumstances dictate. H. IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION It is required that all candidates for employment provide specific information to CMF (and that CMF provide the same to the United States Immigration & Naturalization SeiV.i.ce) within three (3) days of commencing employment. Candidates for employment must complete Section 1 of Form I-9 and provide CMF with specific documents to establish their ''identity'' and "employment eligt.l>ility." An "employment eligt.l>ility'' document is a social security card, birth certificate or an immigration document. An employee will not be allowed to continue employment without providing proper ideri.tification documents. ''Identity'' can be established by providing documentation such as a current state-issued driver's license or identification card or similar document with a photograph, a voter registration card or military seiV.i.ce record. dlindberg/personnel/cmfpolcy/Octl996 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS One South Harbor Avenue, Suite 3; Grand Haven, MI 49417 Page 22 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Grant-Tracking Software Seminar At the request of family foundation members and small staffed foundations, CMF has retained the firm of Henry Bromelkamp & Company, of Minneapolis, to develop a simple grant-tracking software that operates from a windows/access platform. Nearly 50 respondents to our recent technology survey of CMF members, indicated that they do not have any grant-tracking software in place. Current software packages sell for a minimum of$5,000 and do not meet basic needs. Thirteen members joined staff for a successful workshop with Henry on August 16 to test the software and try it out by entering their own grant data. The product "first pearl" will be showcased at the Annual Conference, and at a one-day training workshop, scheduled in November, for members that decide to purchase the product. Michigan grantmakers will have one year to bring First Pearl from CMF for less than $2,000, including a share of the development costs. It is going to be marketed nationally at a cost of$4,850. Detroit Area Grantmakers The Detroit Area Grantmakers' Program Committee met and finalized the 1996-97 series. Ten sessions are offered focusing on issues such as violence prevention, the health delivery system, museum tour and theatre revitalization, and community building. . The series began September 10, 1996 and runs through May 13, 1997. Karl Schlachtenhaufen, The Skillman Foundation is committee chair, and Steve Nedwicki of Comerica is vice chair. The September and October meetings were very well received with over 50 attendees at each session. Greater Grand Rapids Donors Forum Twenty grantmakers participated in the October 16 session on Are You Ready for the Shifts in Governmental Funding? Additional meetings are planned for: February 12Community Strategic Planning; and April 23 - Investments: Choosing the Right Investment Counselor. �2 Michigan Women In Philanthropy On September 20th, forty grantmakers met in Lansing to hear speakers address "A New Era: The Community Responds to Violence Against Women." Model programs, Michigan law, and the community's response to domestic violence were topics discussed. Margaret T. Smith chairs the interest group of the Michigan Women In Philanthropy. An informal session is planned for Wednesday afternoon at the 24th Annual Conference to discuss the future direction of MWIP. Sandy Katt is currently \YOrking with the Kalamazoo Foundation to assist in the formation of a Kalamazoo Women in Philanthropy group. Literature & the Professions Thirty CEO's and program officers participated in the August 21 & 22 seminars, which this year had a theme of"doing right." Sponsored by the Frey Foundation, the -W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and CMF, this is the third year of a most successful program, which uses literature as an aid to the prompting of discussion of current issues concerning grantmakers. Communications/Publications Annual Report You have each received a copy ofCMF's 1995-96 Annual Report. It is now being distributed to RAGs, philanthropic organizations, State and national legislators, nonprofit collaborators, the media and the public. The Annual Report text was written by Judy M. Carl, director of communications, and RobertS. Collier, vice president and CEO. Consultant in residence Robert E. Hencey, on loan from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, provided layout and design, as well as production oversight. Please ask the office for extra copies that can be shared with friends, business associates and other potential members. Developmental Stages of Family Foundations This new Family Foundation publication is being written for publication and distribution in January, 1997. The purpose of the manual will be to identify and describe the various stages of development that family foundations pass through as they grow and mature by highlighting the primary characteristics and issues faced in each growth phase. The ideas presented will be drawn from CMF' s experience in working with family foundation donors, trustees, staff and family members and from writings about the subject of family foundations that have been produced within the broader field. The publication is being supported by an additional grant from the Frey Foundation and is being authored by Linda Patterson and a professional writer, Nancy Burke Smith. 2 �3 Nonprofit Management Training Resource Catalog A new catalog has been published identifying management training resources that are available to nonprofit practitioners through the state's 15 universities. The catalog was developed through a collaboration of the Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan; the Michigan Nonprofit Association; and CMF. It was funded by a W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant and written by a consultant contracted by CMF. The catalog will be useful to the four nonprofit training organizations located in Michigan and to individual nonprofit organizations faced with time and resource constraints that preclude their participation in traditionally designed academic management courses. Copies of the catalog will be distributed to CMF members at the Conference for them to share with appropriate grantees whom they feel might benefit from its information. Law & Responsibilities: A Primer for Trustees, Directors and Officers of Michigan Private Foundations Prepared by CMF's legal counsel, Clark Hill P.L.C., this new publication will be featured at the Annual Conference's Thursday aftemo~n session titled Ethical & Legal Responsibilities of Trustees. This 30 page publication is modeled after the well received CMF hospital paper. We are grateful to CMF Trustee Peter Thurber and to Leonard Smith for contributing quotes and to CMF Trustee Margaret Smith for chairing the session. The Michigan Foundation Directory 9th Edition Over 3,500 copies were printed in November 1994. We have completely sold out! with revenue topping $106,500. New software has been installed which will allow CD-ROM and On-Line service in the future. lOth Edition Research is well underway with the mailing to foundations for their fmal approval scheduled for November, with a January 1997 release date. The Survey of Grants has been expanded from 10 to 26 categories to reflect the breadth of foundation giving and to allow grantseekers to focus their fundraising. Common Grant Application Form Forty-nine (49) grantmakers now accept or require the Common Grant Application Form. First adopted in March of 1995, the Form was revised this past Spring. The committee members next challenge is the creation of a "common reporting/evaluation form." 3 �4 Information Services Library Services April, 1996 throu~h August 31, 1996 The Library staff continues to offer support for the information and research needs of members, trustees and staff. Special projects for this period include the provision of educational materials for the Philanthropy, Social Services and Religion Conference, the National Youth Philanthropy Conference, Detroit Area Grantmakers, Community Foundation Leadership Academy Series, Youth Regional Trainings, and Michigan Women in Philanthropy meetings. In addition, research support for CMF's ongoing grantseeking activities was provided, including work on the Great Lakes Project, the Escheats Project, and the Violence Initiative. A records management plan was initiated and implemented. As of August 31, 819 Community Foundation Resource Files have been scanned into the computer and converted into manipulable files as well as saved as images. This project is projected to be complete by Aprill, 1997. If the first six month totals are any indication it should be another record-breaking year for information services at CMF. Special projects undertaken in the month of September include research for the state of Michigan Fisheries project RFP, research for the Prague office of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation on giving options for corporations, as well as several copyright permission requests.

Kellogg Foundation. We are partnering the project with the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy's companion project to transmit the values of philanthropic behaviors through Youth Serving Organizations. Other national and state funders will be contacted when appropriate. Community Foundation Projects MCFYP On September 1, 1996, The Michigan Community Foundations Youth Project (MCFYP) had deadlines for reporting on successful completion of previous challenge grant rounds and for applications for Round 11, the second to last application period for the Youth Project. Reports from 23 community foundations were received and a total of$2,583,000 of Kellogg Challenge Grant dollars will be distributed to Michigan community foundation youth funds in the next several weeks. Applications from 27 community foundations have been processed for Round 11 of MCFYP. These applications, requesting over $3 .6 million, will be reviewed by the MCFYP Board ofTrustees at their Oct. 8, 1996 meeting. Also to be discussed at the Board Meeting will be the piloting of "hub" and "satellite" FIMS relationships for community foundations in the Upper Peninsula. This pilot project will allow larger community foundations to provide computer accounting services via modem for smaller neighboring community foundations in the UP. If successful, the model program will be introduced throughout the state providing considerable cost savings to small community foundations. Michigan CARES The six pilot communities involved in the Michigan CARES project to design sustainable volunteer and service plans for their communities are now in the first year of Phase II. Continued funding is available through a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) for further implementation of the demonstration projects and planning process. Proposals from all six communities have been submitted and approved. Michigan CARES has been replicated in Calhoun County over the last several months. Funding provided by the KYIP ofW.K. Kellogg Foundation to MCSC is helping the 3 community foundations and 2 geographic component funds in Calhoun County find common ground for working together to address youth volunteer and service issues. Marv King, CMF Youth Project Consultant, has been retained by Calhoun CARES to 5 �6 provide leadership for the project. Initial activities will involve country-wide initiatives around the community foundation YAC programs, including recruitment, retention, leadership training, needs assessments, fund development and evaluation. The process for institutionalizing the YAC program will be documented by FERA for future replication in other geographic areas in Michigan. UP Project At the request of the Kellogg Foundation's Kellogg Youth Initiatives Partnership (KYIP) in Marquette and Alger Counties and CMF, the nonprofit economic development firm Northern Initiatives in Marquette has completed a fund development analysis for the Upper Peninsula. The creation of five field of interest funds for the U .P. has been recommended, and thirty three major companies have been targeted with a goal of $2.6 million over the next two years. In addition, new CMF U .P. Staff will be developing an innovative partnership with organized labor in the U.P., for example the development of permanent teacher mini-grant endowment funds. The goal is to have up to $2 million in additional Kellogg Challenge funds go to the community foundations of the U.P. before the end of the Program. New CMF staff, Jim Krenek and Gary LaPlant coordinated two successful one day workshops in Street. Ignace and Iron Mountain with Jim Gillespie from the Indiana Center on Philanthropy as fundraising consultant. The KYIP Program supported this effort and continues to provide scholarships to the Annual Conference. Great Lakes Community Foundation Collaborative Representatives from the 39 shoreline community foundations in the Great Lakes Basin (17 outside of Michigan) are meeting for a special one day workshop on October 30 at the Amway Grand Plaza to launch this two year initiative funded by the Great Lakes Protection Fund with additional support requested from the C. S. Mott Foundation. The Collaborative goals are to: increase the awareness of community foundation staff and trustees to Great Lakes environmental issues; to strengthen the convening ability of community foundations on environmental issues; and to expand existing and develop new environmental grantmaking. Sheila Leahy, who has previously worked for both the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Donor's Forum of Chicago, has been retained as lead consultant. The out state guests are being invited to stay for our CMF Annual Conference. Community-Based Health Care Reform Symposium On October 30, CMF is also co-sponsoring a one day Symposium with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Michigan Department of Public Health, and the Michigan Public Health Institute. Attendance at the Symposium is projected to exceed 150, and more than 30 community foundations are being invited to send representatives. The focus of the Symposium is to showcase exemplary models of community base health care reform and lay out future challenges for Michigan's communities. Partnership for National Service- Service as Strategy Initiative. CMF has received a $110,000 grant- one of three awarded to RAGs- to work with four of the Michigan CARES community foundations -Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, and 6 �7 Muskegon- to strengthen their relationships with local AmeriCorps projects. An added feature of this grant is twenty $1,000 challenge grants to YACs to promote community service. This one year grant has been made possible due to the opportunity to leverage Michigan CARES funds and both local an:d state funds raised for the Michigan Nonprofit Association Romney Challenge to create permanent endowment funds for volunteer centers.

The 1997-98 Consolidated Budget for CMF and its supporting organizations has been included in this tab for informational purposes. The MCFYP budget was approved by the MCFYP Executive Committee on February 25, 1997. The Michigan AIDS Fund budget is a preliminary budget which is currently being revised to allow for input from the new Executive Director which was hired in January. The enclosed 1997-98 budget for CMF has been approved by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee and the CMF Executive Committee. The CMF 1997-98 Budget has been broken down into three section: 1. Core Operations, 2. Special Projects, and 3. Endowment Funds. CMF Core Operations Member Contributions The 1997-98 increase is based on anticipated dues from new members. The 1996-97 projected amount is an increase of$71,000 over 1995-96. Approximately $30,000 ofthe increase is the result oflast year being a phase-in period for our revised dues structure. The remaining increase is due to the increase in asset levels of our member foundations. Additional Member Contributions The projected amount for 1996-97 includes voluntary additional contributions. dlindberglboardmet/0313 97a/ �72 Conference Income Conference Income includes $271,782 for the annual conference which is scheduled to take place in November, 1997. This is a slight decrease from November, 1996 as CMF takes a conservative approach on budgeting for the conference. The annual conference is always budgeted to break-even. Publications & Library Services The 1996-97 amount includes sales for the lOth Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory which we anticipate to start shipping in March 1997. The decrease in the 199798 budget amount is due to the decrease in the Directory sales (which is published every two years). Salaries & Benefits For 1997-98 a total wage increase of5% has been budgeted. Wage increases will be based on merit and may run from 3% to 7% with the total pool not to exceed 5%.

Joining me were CMF Trustees Laura Davis, Jack Hopkins, Bill Richardson, Kari Schlachtenhaufen, Ira Strumwasser, Maureen Smyth, and Dottie Johnson. Other participants included David Haynes, Bari Johnson, Dennis Marvin, Jim McHale, Joel Orosz, and Dorothy Reynolds. We met with Senator Abraham, eleven Representatives, including Congressmen David Camp, John Dingell, Vern Ehlers, Peter Hoekstra, Dale Kildee, Sander Levin, Nick Smith, Fred Upton, and Congresswomen Carolyn Kilpatrick, Lynn Rivers, and Debbie Stabenow. · we met with aides to Senator Levin and aides to five Congressmen. We were pleased with the response, particularly in light of having both sessions of Congress in session, as well as the late Ambassador Harriman's funeral service. On Wednesday evening, February 12, 1997, Congressman David Camp, (Midland), House Ways & Means Committee Member, and co-sponsor of H.R. 519, joined us for dinner and shared his insights on Congress' view of foundations and nonprofits. Also present were John Edie and Anne Babcock, of COF, who among other things noted that other regional associations (RAGS) had met the previous week with representatives from 58 Congressional offices. H.R. 519/S. 194 Private Foundation Legislation Time is of the essence, as we seek cosponsors to legislation allowing gifts of publicly traded stock to private foundations at the market value, rather than the cost basis. The current law expires May 31, 1997. Cosponsors to date include: S.l94: Senators Abraham (MI), Chafee, D'Amato, Kyl, Moynihan, Snowe, and Hatch H.R. 519: Congressmen Camp (Midland), Canady, Cardin, Crane, Ehlers (Grand Rapids), Kildee (Flint), Porter, and Upton (St. Joseph) We received commitments from all other Michigan Congressmen, and we are following up to be certain each office calls in their support to the aides of Congressmen Camp and Cardin, and Senators Chafee and Moynihan. (No Michigan defections so far.) �19 Packets were distributed to each Congressional office, and a copy of Edition X of the Michigan Foundation Directory will be mailed later this month. STATE ISSUES Community Foundation Definition CMF is working with the Department of the Treasury to gain support of a definition of a community foundation, which is especially important relative to the decision to grant the community foundation tax credit. There are further ramifications which will potentially effect CMF membership policies. David Haynes, Public Affairs Associates, has been helpful in securing a freeze on the issuance of further certifications of community foundations, until the definition issue is resolved. H. B. 4091 Community Foundation Tax Credit A bill to remove the sunset (every three years) from the community foundation single business corporate tax credit has passed the House Taxation Committee, March 4, 1997, unanimously. Introduced by Representative Curtis (Flint), it is a companion bill to the legislation passed in December 1996, removing the sunset from the community foundation tax credit for individuals. This means the tax credit is permanent for individuals as are the tax credits for universities, public libraries, public broadcasting stations, etc. Of course the legislature can remove tax credits, but it is very unlikely considering the public support. Lansing Seminar On March 3, 1997, CMF sponsored the biennial grantsmanship seminar for legislative aides in Lansing. The 126 attendees heard from Mariam Noland, Bob Hencey (Overview of Philanthropy), Dennis Marvin (Consumers Energy Foundation), Benita Melton (C. S. Mott Foundation), Kari Schlachtenhaufen (The Skillman Foundation) and Diana Sieger (The Grand Rapids Foundation). Participants received packets, and thanks to the CMF Allen Legislative Fund, will receive complimentary copies of the Michigan Foundation Directory, Edition X. The Seminar is always well-received. CMF LEGISLATIVE GOAL STATEMENT For your information, we are enclosing a copy of the current statement, revised and approved by the board at the October trustees' meeting. Of course we have removed the four goals accomplished last year, and have added the new approved goals. We anticipate making good progress in 1997, working with CMF Members, and our many partners, including the Council on Foundations, 24 other Regional Associations of Grantmakers, the Independent Sector, the Michigan Nonprofit Association, and others. i:ewp:brdtrst/govt-3-4 ~ �20 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement March 1997 Philanthropy in America Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 1995, foundations and corporations donated more than $17.8 billion for charitable causes and services, including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, libraries, and programs for the elderly, and the needy. Today, foundations and corporations are being challenged to increase their 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 27 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 of Michigan's more than 1,200 foundations, as well as the more than 38,807 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 policy-makers, 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 policy-makers. A Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the program. �21 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 policy-makers about foundation philanthropy and to bring about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. As a result of these efforts by CMF and others, the mandatory payout requirement has been lowered by Congress to a flat five percent of foundation assets, the excise tax on foundations has been reduced, the .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. In the last year, two regulatory items have been resolved, and legislation has been passed relating to gifts of publiclytraded stock to private foundations and ownership of S-Corporation stock. 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 foundations in Michigan, and to support the repeal of the Michigan Intangibles Tax. The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March 1, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April12, 1988; February 25 , 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995, and October 30, 1996. Goal: Support the continuation and expansion of tax incentives for the creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. National Legislative Issues 1. 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 end of 1994. Legislation was passed (August 1996) allowing gifts of appreciated stock to new or existing public �22 foundations at fair market value between July 1, 1996 and May 31, 1997. It is CMF's goal to make this legislation permanent. 2. Goal: Change the limitation on gifts to a private foundation from 20 percent to 50 percent. Explanation: Under existing law, the amount deductible by an individual taxpayer for contributions to private non-operating foundations is computed as a percentage of the donor's contribution base (in most cases, his or her adjusted gross income). An individual may deduct only 20 percent of the gifts of appreciated property or 30 percent of gifts of cash. On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50 percent of his contribution base for cash (and 30 percent for appreciated property) for gifts to public charities. 3. 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 of the outstanding stock of the company. However, in other cases, such as privately-held stock, the amount of deduction continues to be limited to tli'e 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. 4. Goal: Pursue legislation which would allow the establishment of a common fund for private and community foundations. Explanation: Currently, foundations are not allowed by law to pool their assets. Ideally, private and community foundations could have an investment vehicle which would allow for pooling with potentially greater investment returns and administrative efficiencies. Such a fund is allowed for colleges and universities. 5. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability. Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that inflation be taken into consideration. A portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. 6. 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 �23 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. 7. 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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." �24 11. Goal: Protect charitable gift annuities. Explanation: Many public charities, including community foundations, offer donors the opportunity to contribute through charitable gift annuities. 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 balance of the gift passes to the charity. Legislation was passed favorable to protecting charitable gift annuities, however, it is being challenged in court. 12. Goal: Amend the generation-skipping transfer tax law to extend the predeceased parent exclusion to charitable lead and remainder trusts. Explanation: The Internal Revenue Code levies a substantial tax, called the GenerationSkipping Transfer Tax (GSTT), on a donor who distributes 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 grandchild, and the grandchild's parent (the child of the donor) is deceased at the time of the transfer. But this exclusion now applies only to direct gifts 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 charitable vehicles. 13. Goal: Change the due date of the first estimated tax payment so that it coincides with the due date of the Form 990-PF. Explanation: Private foundations now must pay estimated taxes on their investment income in quarterly payments. However, the first payment each year is due three and a half months after the tax year while the tax return is not due until a month later. 14. Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. 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. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize charitable contributions within certain limits. �25 15. Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can lobby or otherwise influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that adversely affect grantmaking. Explanation: Oppose unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on charitable and nonprofit grantees of foundations and corporate giving programs and unreasonable limits which adversely impact grantmakers' ability to fund research and evaluation. While progress has been made, continuous monitoring is essential. 16. 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 organizations are significant investors in the real estate market. Income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Legislation would have private foundations treated in the the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain real property. State Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to community benefits as it relates to non-profits. Explanation: Legislation has been proposed in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Texas which threatens the tax exemption of charitable organizations. CMF, working with others, will closely monitor any related efforts in Michigan. 2. Goal: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from individuals. Explanation: Other states have found a tax deduction favorable to encouraging additional gifts to charities, educational institutions, churches, etc., by individuals. A limited tax deduction is proposed. 3. 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. �26 4. Goal: Support legislation allowing gifts and bequests received by units of local government to be gifted to community foundations. Explanation: While a number of community foundations have funds established by local public libraries and school systems for scholarships, Michigan law is currently "grey" on this issue. New legislation, similar to that passed in Indiana, is being proposed to allow such gifts to community foundations. This will assist particularly with partnerships needed to sustain community foundations in rural communities. 5. Goal: Support legislation further defining a community foundation in the State Tax Code. Explanation: A community foundation is currently defined in the State Tax Code pertaining to the state community foundation tax credit. It is important to further define a community foundation in order to promote permanency and accountability while avoiding duplication of effort in communities and regions of the state. 6. Goal: Amend the State Insurance Code to allow a charitable organization, as described in Section 501(c) 3 of the Federal Internal Revenue Code, to have an insurable interest in the life of an individual who gave written consent to the ownership or purchase of a policy on his or her life Explanation: Currently state law does not allow charitable organizations to have an insurable interest in the ownership or purchase of life insurance. Some individuals wish to benefit a charitable organization by use of this vehicle. CMF Activity 1. Regularly communicate with elected officials of federal, state, and local levels about foundation activities and concerns. 2. Encourage Member foundations to report grants and activities to government officials. 3. Encourage Members in each Michigan Congressional District to meet as a group with their legislator, when the legislator is in District, to discuss the local contributions of community and private foundations and corporate giving. 4. Support public reporting for foundations, beyond the reports required by law, and provide technical assistance for those foundations seeking to print an annual report or guidelines. Assist in distribution efforts. �27 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. Sponsor periodic seminars for state legislators, department chiefs and their staffs. i:ewp:comm/govt/legstmnt/legmem97 �28 Date: March 4, 1997 Memo to: BOARD OF TRUSTEES From: C. David Campbell, Program Chair Re: 25th Annual Conference Program Committee: The first meeting of the 25th Annual CMF Conference Program Committee was held on Friday, February 14, 1997. Conference Date: November 5-7, 1997 Location: Westin Hotel, Detroit Honorary Chair: To be announced Conference Chair: C. David Campbell, Executive Director, McGregor Fund Host Committee Co-chairs: Julie F. Cummings, Trustee, Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation Howard Sims, Trustee, CFSEM and Trustee, W.K. Kellogg Foundation Leonard W. Smith, President, The Skillman Foundation The Program Committee enthusiastically endorsed "Connecting People & Potential: A View to the 21st Century" as the 25th Annual CMF Conference theme. Bob Hencey; Director of Special Projects, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, eloquently put the theme into perspective by saying "We in the grantmaking field can best prepare for the future challenges by continuing to adequately equip ourselves with the necessary, even essential knowledge, creativity and understanding required by responsible philanthropy as it moves into the coming century. There should be no question, we are fortunate to be present for the crossing of the hundred-year threshold. There are wonderful tasks and exciting opportunities ahead for us. Let us begin this challenge by "Connecting People & Potential: A View to the 21st Century." A multitude of excellent speakers were suggested for plenaries. Inquiries and letters of invitation have been sent to George Bush, Colin Powell, George Soros and Oprah Winfrey. An opening panel on Detroit's urban renewal is being explored as well. Several areas of interest that emerged include land use, rural development, devolution and welfare reform, building philanthropic resources, etc. Technical and topic sessions include investments, grantmaking basics, ethics, technology, development of community and social indicators as well as the usual sessions for family foundations, community �29 foundations, corporate giving, Washington/Lansing Update, etc. The Program Committee is considering several changes to the format which will be shared with the board at the June meeting along with a complete schedule of sessions, times and events. The Committee's next meeting is March 25, 1997. The conference flyer announcing the date and theme is under development and will be mailed by the end of March to CEO's, trustees, corporate giving officers, staff members, investment officers, attorneys, donors and volunteers.

Excerpted from lOth edition, Michigan Foundation Directory data, the Survey reports on one year of giving by private, community and corporate foundations in Michigan. We are pleased to report an increase in the number of foundations to 1270, growth in assets by over 17%, and a 6.6% increase in grantmaking dollars for charitable purposes. The Common Grant Application Form is included as an information tool in the publication. The Michigan Foundation Directory The long awaited lOth Edition will be ready for mailing on March 17.

Nonprofit Management Training Resource Catalog With support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation this Catalog, featuring training resources that are available to nonprofit practitioners through the state's 15 universities, will be expanded by July to include the activities of both private colleges and community colleges.

These are essentially electronic discussion groups which use e-mail as a means of communication. CD Staff are exploring the production of a CD as a means of easily disseminating sample documents to our Community Foundation members, and offering them for sale to non-members. Increasing Philanthropy & Special Initiatives Outreach to Advisors CMF has formed a statewide advisory panel of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and insurance agents to assist us in preparing materials to support advisor work with clients of wealth interested in participating in organized philanthropy. All eleven individuals invited to participate on the panel accepted the invitation with enthusiasm. The committee will meet for the first time this summer to review draft publications for advisors and their clients, and to devise strategies for next steps which will include presentations to peer groups, national and statewide planned giving councils, and professional graduate schools. The interview phase for this effort has recently undergone an evaluation by FERA which is providing both informative and positive feedback. Advisor referrals to CMF have increased to approximately 3 per month in recent months. Staff is also working with a Wingspread group inventorying national resources to support advisor education efforts, and with a Regional Forum group in developing a plan to create a partnership with State Bar Associations. A lot developing- we will keep you informed as we progress! Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative The Project Advisory Committee continues to meet monthly. Plans are underway to have the second Annual Seminar held in conjunction with the Annual COF Conference for Community Foundations in Chicago this September. The C. S. Mott Foundation has increased the size of the grant request for this Project under consideration to $475,000. 5 �89 Violence Prevention Project Eighteen YACs (youth advisory committees) have now received matching grants totaling $20,000 from this C. S. Mott Foundation funded project. Five ofthe Projects are tied to the successful Flint Youth Theater Seventh Dream production featured at both the National Youth Philanthropy Conference this past summer and CMF's 24th Annual Conference last fall. The five host community foundations are scheduled to be selected by May 1. The regional funders meetings will likely take place in the fall. Judging for the Wilmer Shield Rich Awards Several members of the Council of Michigan Foundations are serving as judges for this year's Communications Network in Philanthropy's (CNIP) "Wilmer Shield Rich Awards for Excellence in Communication. " Anonymous CMF Members are currently reviewing a total of 31 annual reports produced by some of the nation's largest community foundations and will soon submit their award recommendations. The awards are to be presented by CNIP during the Council on Foundations' Annual Conference in May. Community Foundation Projects MCFYP On March 1, 1997, the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) had deadlines for reporting on successful completion of previous challenge grant rounds. Reports from 25 community foundations were received for a total of $3 million in Kellogg Challenge Grant dollars to be paid to Michigan community foundation youth funds. It is anticipated that applications from over 50 community foundations will be received and processed for the final challenge grant round ofMCFYP on April1, 1997. These applications will be reviewed by the MCFYP Board of Trustees at their June 12, 1997 meeting. Also to be discussed at the Board Meeting will be a revision of the 5 year budget, designed to phase and tier the technical assistance funds for MCFYP over a 5 year period; a review and acceptance of"Best Practices" for Youth Advisory Committees; and a discussion of rules for the $3 million incentive grants for meeting community foundation common needs. YOUTH LEADERSHIP CAMP, July 27 - 29 YAC members and advisors will be returning to Camp Miniwanca this summer to explore "Personal Responsibility and the WKKF Challenge." Separate tracts are being developed for older experienced YAC members, the new members, and the advisors to better enhance the experiential learning opportunities. Camp enrollment will be limited to 150 youth participants. Primary Group Leaders are being actively sought from the alumni of YAC's throughout the state. Cost will be based upon the youth endowment size: over $200,000- $125; under $200,000- $75; 1st year YAC's or YAC's with no grantmaking experience - $50. YAC ADVISOR TRAINING The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation and the St. Ignace Community Fund will host advisor trainings on March 18 and 21 respectively. Featured will be sessions on "Tools and Tips 6 �90 for Effective Group Facilitation," and "Risk Management- Keeping it Safe." Both topics are being offered as a response to repeated requests from the field. ADVISOR COLLABORATIVES (ROUNDTABLES) Saginaw, Kalamazoo, and the Grand Traverse Community Foundations will be hosting advisor roundtables on April21, 23, and 25 respectively. These afternoon sessions will be informally structured to provide a free flowing exchange of ideas on what has been successful, what has allowed the success to occur, and common challenges advisors face in working with their YAC's. REGIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING Jackson, Fremont, Petoskey/Harbor Springs, and Marquette will host fall YAC Regional Trainings in early October. Emphasis will be given to common concerns centered around the orientation of new members to the operations of a YAC. ADVISOR CONFERENCE CALLS More often than not, the YAC advisor is a volunteer who has difficulty getting away to attend trainings offered. Thus, this fall we will link advisors through conference calls for topical discussions, and review of sections of the "Resources and Guidelines Manual for Establishing a YAC." Michigan CARES The six pilot communities involved in the Michigan CARES project to design sustainable volunteer and service plans for their communities are now completing the first year of Phase II. Continued funding is available through a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) for further implementation of the demonstration projects and planning process. Proposals from all six communities have been submitted and approved and first year funding has been distributed. Deadlines for second year Phase II proposals are due April 15, 1997 and will be reviewed by CMF and MCSC staff. Each Michigan CARES community is eligible for $10,000 in year two to continue the coordination and support of local CARES initiatives. Michigan CARES has been replicated in Calhoun County in the past year. Funding provided by the KYIP ofW.K. Kellogg Foundation to MCSC is helping the 3 community foundations and 2 geographic component funds in Calhoun County find common ground for working together to address youth volunteer and service issues. Marv King, CMF Youth Project Consultant, has been retained by Calhoun CARES to provide leadership for the project. Initial activities will involve county-wide initiatives around the community foundation YAC programs, including recruitment, retention, leadership training, needs assessments, fund development and evaluation. The process for institutionalizing the YAC program will be documented by FERA for future replication in other geographic areas in Michigan. ~- Upper Peninsula Community Foundation Alliance With 10 community foundations and 10 affiliate funds in the U.P., the challenge during the past year has been to both serve this fragile group and also to help them in their efforts to raise the matching funds for the Kellogg Challenge. The MCFYP Board has approved two years of support from the special "Common Needs" funds to allow CMF to hire two full-time staff and 7 �91 part-time support staff to provide assistance. Technical assistance efforts have focused on activities such as assisting with MCFYP applications and obtaining a VISTA volunteer for the YACs. Fund development efforts have focused on workshops by staff from the Indiana University School of Philanthropy and presentations to more than 40 corporate leaders, individuals and estate planners. The cultivation process has begun, but staff have played a role behind the scenes in two $100,000 gifts. The U.P. Community Foundation has added the word Alliance and now includes Board members from each of the 9 other community foundations. There is now credible momentum in the U.P.! i: ewp:committee/bd-o-tr/ pres3 -13 ·,. 8 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On February 11, 1997, the CMF Audit and Finance Committee reviewed and approved the Balance Sheet & Statement of Activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, for CMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund. Balance Sheet Since the last Board of Trustees meeting the following line items have seen a significant change in their balances: • the Accounts Receivable balance for the CMF Core operations has increased by $150,000 due to an additional member contribution that was received in February, 1997 and • the majority of the Accounts Payable balance for the CMF Core operations is due to outstanding invoices associated with the CMF Annual Conference. To provide for long-term programming opportunities, CMF has set up the Russell G. Mawby and William Allen Endowment Funds, and MCFYP has set aside interest earnings into the Board Designated Fund which have the following balances as of December 31, 1996: $1,454,351 • Allen & Mawby Endowment Funds $1,887,556 • MCFYP Board Designated Fund Consolidated Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets · This report is presented to the CMF Board to provide an overall view of the financial structure ofCMF and its supporting organizations. The respective boards ofMCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund are responsible for reviewing and approving their individual statements. One ofthe functions of the CMF Audit & Finance Committee is to perform a detailed review of the supporting organizations on a quarterly basis, and report on any significant items to the CMF Board. dlindberglboardmet/m03l397 �10 CMF Special Projects As part ofCMF's mission, special projects are undertaken to increase and enhance philanthropy in the State of Michigan. In preparing the budgets for these projects, management prepares an estimate of administrative time and expenses as part of the grant proposal. To staff these projects CMF will use both outside consultants and existing CMF staff. As ofDecember 31, 1996, there are approximately ten special projects undeiWay: Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets CMF Core Operations Note 1: Member Contributions Member Contributions have increased over the prior year and the 1996-97 budget amount, due to the increased asset levels of our members and 1995-96 being the phase in period for the revised dues structure. Note 2: Conference Income Due to the record number of participants, the 1996 CMF Annual Conference is anticipated to generate a surplus of approximately $10,000. Note 3: Equipment & Furniture The prior year amount of$134,000 represents the cost to purchase additional office space for the CMF Grand Haven office. Note 4: Computer Consulting fees to fix hardware and software problems over the past six months will result in computer expenses being over budget. To prevent these problems from recurring, the systems administrator and hardware consultants have been replaced by a local consultant who is available on an as needed basis. With the addition of the new computer consultant, 95% of the computer problems have been eliminated. Note 5: Professional & Contracted Services The hiring of a data input person to work on the lOth Edition ofthe Directory accounts for the increase from the prior year. dlindberglboardmet/m031397 �11 Council of Michigan Foundations & Supporting Organizations Consolidated Balance Sheet December 31 , 1996 II Core& Special Projects ASSETS Cash Investments Due From Other Funds CMF Allen & Mawby Endowment Funds 425,197 65,802 Property, Plant & Equipment Accumulated Depree Net Furniture & Equip 1,099,530 (288,433) 811,097 Prepaid Expenses Accounts Receivable Accrued Interest Receivable Total Assets 2,725 251,499 LIABILITIES Accounts Payable Deferred Income Accrued Grants Payable Total Liabilities NET ASSETS (FUND BALANCE) Unrestricted & Temp Restrict.

Richardson, Chair Principles & Practices Committee Re: Progress Report The Principles & Practices (P&P) Committee met January 14, 1997, to begin their work to compose a list of principles and practices for presentation to the CMF Board. The second meeting of the Committee will follow the March 13, 1997 CMF Board Meeting.

At that time, the board adopted the same principles and practices as established by the Council on Foundations. It was agreed at the November CMF Board Meeting, that CMF's Principles & Practices would ideally be revised and shared with the board in June, followed by a report to the membership and presentation at the 25th Annual CMF Conference in November. A draft document is being circulated to the Committee, that is broadly representative of the CMF membership. Members include: William C. Richardson, President, CEO & Trustee W. K.

Kellogg Foundation has approved our three-year grant request for $1.5 million in support ofthe K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project. The project will develop teaching units for the K -12 school systems to integrate the teaching of philanthropy (giving, serving and the role of the third sector) into the standard school core curriculum. The sites selected to develop the units will be diversified as to location across Michigan, setting (rural, suburban, urban), type of school (private, public), and the racial and ethnic composition of the students and faculty. We hope to be testing the first units at this time next year. Our research suggests there is an historic opportunity to deeply integrate these units into the teaching of the social studies as a part of the implementation and future student assessment of Michigan's Core Academic Curriculum. As you know, Kathy Agard was hired to direct the project. We are now beginning the search for a Curriculum Specialist and a Secretary. The staff for the project will be housed outside of CMF' s offices, preferably in a school setting. Initial work is also underway to plan a national discussion conference on the teaching of philanthropy, to work out computer-based networks between the teachers for research and communication, and to identify and select the teachers who will write the units. The orientation of the teachers will begin this summer. The Kellogg grant provides the initial support for the estimated $4.8 million, 5 year project. We have been in discussion with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation regarding potential assistance for the final two years. The additional funds must be raised to complete the project in its full design. A small sub-committee of the Project Steering Committee is now planning to meet with funders to raise approximately $3 million in support of the balance of the project. We are grateful that other Michigan foundations have expressed an interest and we will be approaching them over the next few months. Please let us know if your foundation would be interested in further discussing the project. As you recall, we had previously received a commitment from the Lilly Endowment of $460,000 to support a special conference on the teaching of philanthropy, and portions of the Michigan project evaluation. The Lilly Endowment grant is part of a larger $2.2 million companion project of the Indiana Humanities Council. The Indiana project, over �35 the next 3 years, will develop and test the transmission of the philanthropic tradition through the informal systems of youth-serving and religious organizations. The two projects will share the philanthropy conference as a method for building an intellectual framework for each effort. We expect there will be significant sharing between the projects as the curriculum ideas develop in each venue (schools, churches, youth organizations). The Steering Committee meets again on March 27, 1997 in Lansing. If you have ideas for the following areas, please let Kathy know. National Conference on Philanthropy: Thoughtful, credible essayists/thinkers on the topics of what content should be taught; the issues and philosophy behind service and experiential learning; child moral/ethical development by age; and student learning assessment. Creative. Excellent K-12 Teachers: We will be sending an RFP to schools by the end of March. If you know of teachers with experience and skill in curriculum design (particularly in the social studies or language arts), we would be happy to send an RFP directly to them. Curriculum Content: We will be providing teachers with background regarding the content of philanthropy. Any materials which have been important to you regarding the history, philosophy, traditions, economics, political role, vignettes or related content material on citizen "private action for the public good" may be very helpful to us . We would be interested in your "Top Ten" reading list. Related Curriculum Support: If you know of particularly good children's, youth, adolescent, adult literature/film/theater/music which support the teaching of giving and serving, we would like to be made aware of these resources. We are starting to collect this material. Service Club: If you know of a national service club with a strong chapter system in Michigan who might be interested in providing state led, but locally implemented support to the teachers and schools, we would be interested in a contact person. f: kagard :k-12: gencorres: 97CMFBd � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It should be noted that CMF only undertakes special projects after funding has been secured. Due to the time period of these special projects, fund balances may be carried over from one year to the next. Mott Violence Project The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has awarded CMF a $210,000 grant for 'a one year Violence Prevention Project. This project is scheduled to run from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997. The purpose of this Project is threefold: to engage more foundations and corporations in Michigan in supporting collaborative violence prevention strategies; to raise the level of awareness by both the general public and local and state policymakers about successful collaborative prevention strategies being used elsewhere in the country; and to encourage scholarly but hands-on research that can contribute to both state and local initiatives. Grant Tracking Software CMF has hired a consultant (Henry Bromelkamp & Company) to develop a simplified grant tracking software for our member foundations who award less than 100 grants per year. A key concern in developing this software was to keep the cost around $2,000, which is substantially below other competing programs that run between $5,000$10,000. CMF's goal is to recoup our total development cost which is anticipated to run around $15,000. dlin~rglboardmet/cmf/m031397c/ �81 Partnership For National Service The Partnership for National Service, as part of its Service As Strategy Initiative, has approved a grant of$110,000 to the Council ofMichigan Foundations to support the ongoing service efforts of the AmeriCorps programs operating within Muskegon County, Southeastern Michigan, Genesee County and Kent County. This project is scheduled to run from November 12, 1996 to November 11, 1997. Community Foundation Positioning and Marketing Project The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has awarded a two year, $200,000 grant for Phase ill of the Community Foundation Positioning and Marketing Project. Phase ill will focus on two target donor audiences, women with hidden wealth and people of weal~, identified in Phase I and IT research as potential donors to community foundations. Phase ill of this Project will allow for the testing of public relations and donor product materials designed to fu1fiii the project goals. These goals are to expand awareness 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. This project is scheduled to run from June 1, 1996 through May 31, 1998. Great Lakes Community Foundation Collaborative CMF has been awarded two grants to address environmental issues in the Great Lakes area. The purpose of these grants will be to expand the knowledge of community foundation staff and trustees about the environmental issues affecting the Great Lakes Basin, to build the capacity of community foundations to convene community opinion leaders and policy makers on environmental issues, and to increase the environmental grantmaking of shoreline community foundations from both new and existing permanent endowment funds. CMF is currently awaiting final approval from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation for a $400,000 grant. The Great Lakes Protection Fund has awarded a $166,000 grant for the period July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1998. Gerber Foundation CMF provided Executive Director search services to the Gerber Foundation to fill this recently created position. For one year the Executive Director will be a contracted employee of CMF with all expenses associated with this position being reimbursed by the Gerber Foundation. On September 1, 1997 this person will become a permanent full-time employee of the Gerber Foundation, and no longer be carried on CMF's books. dlindberglboardmet/cmf/m031397c/ �82 Community Foundation Dissemination Project The W.K Kellogg Foundation has awarded a $145,300 grant to CMF to disseminate lessons learned from the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP). This grant is scheduled to run from March 1, 1996 through February 28, 1998. The goal of this project is to share the results of the MCFYP project and to encourage others to adopt all or parts of this initiative. Michigan Cares The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has awarded CMF two grants under the Michigan CARES Project. The Michigan CARES Project is designed to provide technical assistance in developing community service programs and to provide community development assistance in the form of grants to build strong community service infrastructure in communities so they will be able to sustain service program funding. Two grants have been awarded by the MCSC to Council of Michigan Foundations. The first being a grant for $185,000 which is scheduled to run from November 19, 1996 through November 18, 1997. The second being a grant for $89,000 which runs from September 1, 1996 through August 31, 1997. dlindberglboardmet/cmf/m0313 97 c/ �CMF Special Projects 1997-98 budget Mott Violence Project REVENUES Member Contributions Additional Member Contributions Addtl member Mawby Allen Other Grants Conference I nco me Publications & Library Services Computer Installment/Loan Fees Investment Income Total Revenues Administrative Expenses Salaries & Benefits Occupancy Telephone Equipment Maintenance Postage Supplies Insurance Equipment & Furniture Computer Association Dues Books & Subscriptions Publications & Printing Professional & Contracted Services Travel Trustee Meetings Training & Seminars Conference & Meeting Mini-Grants General Purpose Total Administrative Grants Mini-Grants General Purpose Challenge Grants Grants Committed Not Paid Affiliation Mini-Grants Computer Grants Computer Loan Other Grants Total Grants Excess Revenues Over Expenditures Beginning Net Assets Transfer From Other Funds Imaging Project CHANGE IN FUND BALANCE Ending Net Assets SPECP,...
