Tab 2 Page 14 Date: February 2, 1999 Memo To: Council of Michigan Foundations Board of Trustees From: Richard K. Rappleye Chair, Audit & Finance Committee Re: CMF & Supporting Organizations' December 31, 1998 Financial Statements Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' December 31, 1998 Financial Report be accepted, pending the approval of the CMF Audit & Finance Committee that will be meeting on February 8th. On February 8, 1999, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee will be meeting to review the enclosed financial statements. ~ '·; Based on the year-to-date results all indications are that CMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund will meet their budgeted goals for 1998-99. Of particular note is the fact that the investment returns for the CMF and MCFYP endowment funds were very strong during the last three months of 1998. This will be discussed further in the investment report that follows. I () Consolidated Balance Sheet Note A: Cash & Cash Equivalents The relatively high cash balance for MCFYP is due to the amount required to meet future challenge grant commitments and community foundations' programming needs. Note B: Net Assets Thanks to the strong performance of the U. S. stock market, the endowment funds for CMF and MCFYP have experienced significant growth over the last three months. The growth over the last twelve months in the endowment funds is highlighted below. Allen & Mawby Funds MCFYP Board Designated Fund KYIP 12-31-98 $2,331,143 $4,559,697 $7,671 ,913 \\NT-SERVER\STAFF\DLINDBER\BOARDMET\CMF\1998\M021699.doc 12-31-97 $2,005,287 $2,938,189 $5,889,514 �15 Consolidated Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets The nine-month financial results for MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund indicate that revenue and expenses are expected to remain within budget for 1998-99. As a reminder to this board, the individual boards ofMCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund are responsible for reviewing their individual statements in detail, and, therefore, the attached notes will focus on the CMF Core Operations results. Core Operations Statement of Activities Note 1: Member Contributions Due to new memberships received this year along with the increase in asset levels of our current members, total membership as of December 31, 1998, has exceeded budget by $41,513. Note 2: Conference Income Revenue and expenses for the Annual Conference are over budget, due to the record number of attendees (1,291) at the 1998 conference. Revenue for the conference totaled $383,000 (out of the total year to date revenue of$400,122), with expenses totaling $398,000, resulting in a net cost of$15,000 for this year's conference. Knowing that the logistics of the Annual Conference were going to result in some extraordinary expenses management felt fortunate that only $15,000 of the $37,000 prior year conference fund balance was required to fund the deficit. Note 3: Investment Income Investment income for the Core Operations has remained strong due to earnings on funds received for special projects. Note 4: Salaries Salaries for 1998-99 are anticipated to remain over budget for the year, due to the wages for the Detroit office position, which are now being charged directly to the CMF Core Operations. \\NT -SERVER\STAFF\DLINDBER\BOARDMET\CMF\1998\M021699.doc - - -- - - - - - - �16 Council of Michigan Foundations & Supportil1g Organizations Consolidated Balance Sheet December 31, 1998 Core& Special Projects ASSETS Cash & Equivalents Investments Due From Other Funds Property, Plant & Equipment- Net Other Assets Accounts Receivable Accrued Interest Receivable Total Assets LIABILITIES Accounts Payable Other Liabilities Grants Payable Total Liabilities ~: - NET ASSETS (FUND BALANCE) Unrestricted & Temp Restrict.

I am pleased to say that Libby Maynard, Trustee, Community Foundation of Greater Flint, has agreed to Co-Chair the Committee. I have extended an invitation to another member who will hopefully have an answer for me by the board meeting. Legislation Since the board last met, the only state legislation passed is the "Youth on Boards," bill, as reported in the CMF Memo to Members and the Plan of Work Results for 1998-1999. Rob Collier and the Y AC's provided the leadership to get this bill passed. Senator Bill Schuette was the primary sponsor of the legislation, which allows for the participation with vote, of 16 and 17 year-olds on Michigan nonprofit boards. Nationally, H.R. 86, eliminating estate and gift taxes, and generation-skipping transfers, which has implications for charitable bequests, has been introduced. Michigan cosponsors, as of January 19, 1999, include Barcia, Camp, Knollenberg; Smith, and Upton. Staff is also considering proposing that community foundation donor advised funds come under further regulation. Other bills pertaining to the IRA Rollover and Charitable Deduction have yet to be introduced in the 1061h Congress. Capitol Hill Visitation February 2/3, 1999 I am very pleased that 19 of us will be joining our RAG colleagues from around the country, together with the RAG Forum and the Council on Foundations, to make Congressional visits. Tuesday evening, February 2nd, Senator Carl Levin will meet with us at a dinner, hosted by Consumer's Energy. The Allen Fund is supporting our participation at the University of Michigan Capitol Hill Club Breakfast, where the entire Michigan Congressional delegation is present. We will be giving each Representative the new edition of the Michigan Foundation �25 Directory, a printout of the foundations in their District, our philanthropy book, and a CMF fact packet.

Collier, and myself. A CMF Member, representing corporate philanthropy has been invited to participate. �26 Private Foundation Payout Study The CMF Advisory Board and Technical Subcommittee continue to gather data for the study. Following the Advisory Board meeting, a Technical Subcommittee was formed to evaluate the collection of data, the form of the study, and ease of membership response. Serving on the subcommittee are Robert E. Swaney, Vice President and Chieflnvestment Officer, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation; Edward M. Hunia, Vice President, The Kresge Foundation; Paul J. Lawler, Vice President, W. K. Kellogg Foundation, Michael J. Smith, Assistant Vice President, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Working with Cambridge &Associates, the three foundations are collecting data from 1968-1998, as a preview of what CMF will be asking Members to undertake. Results of this effort are expected by early March, after which the Subcommittee will make a recommendation to the Advisory Board on how to proceed. The Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow Foundation has contributed $10,000 to the project. Additional proposals are pending at the Kellogg, Kresge, and Mott Foundations for the study of the private foundation payout provision.

Doan RE: December 31, 1998 Investment Report Page 19 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the December 31, 1998 Investment Report. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council of Michigan Foundations, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund, for the period ended December 31, 1998. The bench mark rates of return are based on the targeted asset allocation using the previous 12 and 24 months returns for the various indices listed at the end of this report. The last three months of 1998 have resulted in significant gains in the US stock market.

Johnson Re: CMF 1999-2000 Plan of Work Attached is the plan prepared by staff in consultation with Members, committees, other RAGS, advisors, and members of the philanthropic network. We believe we have an ambitious, but "do-able" plan. Each year the Executive Committee asks me to highlight my personal five or six priorities. This year I include the following: 1. Assure orderly and creative transition in staff leadership. First and foremost, it is my goal that a seamless transition take place. No one knows the dimensions and dynamics of the process and selection, but I want to be certain that the board, members, staff, and candidates are all motivated by the change. I will review CMF's internal operations in hopes off having all systems in good order. The last CMF Strategic Plan comes to an end in 2000. I am pleased to report that all goals have been, or are in the process of being, achieved. I will leave the decision as to whether or not to proceed with another planning effort to you and the new President. 2. Accomplish key legislative/regulatory goals as well as enhance STATE legislative network. Key goals include confirming the definition of a community foundation. This last year we proceeded on a two-prong effort, first, seeking a legislative definition which ran into stumbling blocks in the House, and secondly, with the Department of Treasury in hopes of obtaining a definitive ruling. A new State Treasurer, who is a friend of CMF, should make the process simpler, but whatever the case, we must find a solution. On a federal level, CMF will work with COF and others on the IRA legislation, potential community foundation donor advised fund regulations, and the proposed federal legislation on shareholder approval for corporate contributions. �38 The CMF Michigan federal legislative network is solid; the state network needs attention, particularly in light of term limits. The state network will be a priority. 3. Involve more family philanthropy in CMF. There is tremendous potential for the creation of family foundations and family funds in community foundations. CMF will work with existing family philanthropies, as well as encourage other donors. My personal goal is to meet with at least four groups of potential donors, in a "peer-to-peer" setting with CMF Members and board members, to encourage giVmg. 4. Work with CMF Board, Committees and staff to facilitate changes in the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project and the establishment of community foundation best practices/standards. Such standards would eventually become the basis for the delivery of CMF technical assistance and membership benefits. 5. Work with Advisors to encourage giving. Advisors are an independent group, eacli desiring to be of ultimate service to their client. CMF needs to provide resources (donor stories, brochures, technical assistance, etc.) for advisors seeking help with their clients. My goal is to organize a group of20 or more such advisors who will actively work with CMF and our Members to encourage giving. The plan, which follows, includes most of these items, as well as the regular services which CMF Members have come to expect. We are not proposing any change in the number of staff, which are dedicated and very hard-working. i:ewp:committee/brdtrst/2-02tab9 �Council of Michigan Foundations Plan of Work I April 1, 1999- March 31, 2000 �.• ) ) MISSION A membership organization of foundations and corporations which make grants for charitable purposes, the mission of the Council of Michigan Foundations is to enhance, to improve and to increase philanthropy in Michigan.

By way of background, I have attached my announcement to the Members and her letter of intent. I presented a Search Plan to the Executive Committee, at their meeting January 12, 1999, the outline of which I shared with you during our conference call. The following information will be the basis of our discussion at the February 16, 1999 Board Meeting. Committee I am pleased to say that fifteen Members, including all Past Chairs still actively involved in philanthropy but one, ten current Trustees, a_nd five past Trustees, have agreed to serve. (See attached list.) Search Firms It was determined that CMF would engage a search firm to assist in our efforts. My assistant at the Towsley Foundation, Vickie Chatland, will assume the internal staff function, and all correspondence will be directed through my office in Midland, at 235 East Main Street; Suite 120, Midland, Michigan 48640 [Phone: (517) 837- 1100]. I also can be reached at home at (517) 835-7084. Relevant Known Searches Conducted Mr. Leonard Pfeiffer, IV.

King President Kittleman & Associates Community Foundation of Greater Flint- President Community Foundation of Muskegon County, Pres. Ms. Toni S. Smith Senior Director Spencer Stuart Associates Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan - President Job Description and Profile Attached is Dottie's current Job Description. Below are the characteristics she has outlined at my request. All of this will be expanded upon by the Search Committee and the search firm with your approval. The successful candidate will have: • Strong financial organizational and management skills • The ability to meet the needs of a diverse membership while also identifying issues and trends of significance to funders and the nonprofit sector • Strong strategic thinking and implementation skills • A working knowledge of philanthropy • A deep-rooted commitment to and understanding of the nonprofit sector • The ability to build relationships across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. • Experience in building coalitions that take diverse needs and perspectives into account • The ability to set priorities and manage multiple tasks simultaneously • Strong written and verbal communication kills Leading candidates will have achieved a level of experience appropriate to the position. Demonstrated success in managing a membership service organization and growing an organization is desirable • One of the assumptions of the search is that the CMF Office will remain in Grand Haven, thereby insuring the continued fine service of the entire CMF staff. • Internal candidates will be encouraged to apply. • A national search will be conducted. �68 • The Search Committee's first meeting will be following the board meeting, February 16, 1999, following the Board Meeting (1 :00 p.m.). At that time, we will review the Search Firm Proposals, and select those firms to be interviewed. • Dottie will be with us until January 2000. Ideally, there will be a suitable amount oftime for overlap. • Several RAG positions around the country are open/and or have been recently filled. While CMF is the largest RAG in the country, it is wise to know the background territory activity.

I know this was not an easy decision for her, but as she explains in the attached letter to me and the Board, after 25 years of service to CMF, she wishes to graduate to other responsibilities and to have more time with her family. The good news is that Dottie will continue as CEO for another year. -~· CMF is in great shape. We are the largest Regional Association of Grantmakers in the country with a superb board and staff. We are a role model for the country in terms of an effective government relations program, and-we continue to lead the way in efforts to increase and improve philanthropy. Like you, I take pride that in the state of Michigan, every citizen is now served by a community foundation, and that more than 5000 youth have been, and are involved in philanthropy. This is just a short list of what has been accomplished with Dottie's creativity and leadership. 1 There will be time to recognize her contribution in November at CMF's 27 h Annual Conference, November 2-4, 1999. In the meantime, please know that the Executive Committee is preparing a Search Plan for the Board's consideration at their February 16, 1999 meeting. I have agreed to head the search and will be contacting each of you for ideas. In the meantime, if you wish to reach me directly, please write me at the Harry A. & Margaret D.

Over the years I have noted that the board, committees, and staff all go the extra mile. Following the meeting of the board today, I plan to share my plans with the staff. We have an excellent team, and I know they will carry forth the work of CMF with the same outstanding vision and skills that characterize our accomplishments today. C~F is in sound financial condition, having met every budget and with four endowments that I hope will only increase over the years. Working together we have succeeded in achieving 21 legislative goals and have ( ::t hi ne ! _/ 1, I j ·if 1 ! I •I! · / ' ' f · l r ,, �...... , ____________ _______ _ _ _ 72 Ranny Riecker 1.12.99 Page Two. undertaken numerous special projects for the betterment of the people in our state. As you know, this was not an easy decision, and one I discussed with your predecessor, Mariam Noland, during the past year. I will be pleased to assist you and the board in any way, as you consider plans for January 2000 and beyond. I do note with some satisfaction that I will continue to be associated with five CMF Members, in one capacity or another. When I think of January 2000, I like to think of my departure from CMF as a graduation, a graduation to more time to undertake new volunteer and corporate opportunities. My interest in CMF's mission to enhance, to improve and to increase philanthropy will only grow. I look forward with great anticipation to working with you, the board, members, staff, CMF partners, and friends in 1999. With sincere appreciation, Dorothy A.

News was received over the holidays that YACs are flourishing in British Columbia, as well as two being started in the Czech Republic. Enhanced Technical Assistance With the Kellogg Youth Challenge ending, the majority of community foundations and their affiliate funds are dealing with two specific challenges: how to maintain growth momentum, and how to deal with the need to raise ongoing operating funds. The Enhanced Technical Assistance Grant from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation is allowing CMF/MCFYP to provide targeted enhanced technical assistance in the form of On-Site Mentoring, Investment Advisory Services, and Asset Development through Planned Giving to those community foundations with less than $20 million in assets. Dorothy M. Reynolds has provided on-site mentoring to targeted foundations in the areas of asset development, pro-active grantmaking, and operational elements of community foundation management. Fund Evaluation Group (FEG) from Cincinnati, Ohio, is offering Investment Advisory Services through site visits with local community foundation investment committees, phone calls and regional meetings for board members. �81 Additional trainings and follow-up consultations are scheduled for spring 1999. Planned giving technical assistance will be provided by John Brown & Associates in two-day training sessions in May and September 1999. Project Team-Up and Collaborative Service Grants Project Team Up and Collaborative Service grants, supported by the current W. K. Kellogg Challenge Grant, are assisting small community foundations to overcome barriers to asset growth by promoting partnerships with neighboring community foundations and the joint purchase of services. The MCFYP Board of Trustees has approved nine Project Team-Up grants for a total of $500,000 and two Collaborative Service grants totaling $40,000 and will review additional grant applications April 1. Computer Project With 33 community foundations installed on the Foundation Information Management Service (FIMS) software, the Computer Committee's energies are focused on how to best serve the remaining 23 community foundations that are too small or lack the staffing to implement FIMS. Options for smaller community foundations include an Excel template, HUB access to FIMS at an off-site location, a newly introduced Windows version of FIMS or a yet to be developed product called Community Pearl. CMF staff will assist the smaller community foundations with the selection of the most appropriate tool to meet their accounting and donor, gift and grant-tracking needs. c;_5 V.

No membership fees will be used for the gift. 8 �~-~-------, ---- ~---------------------------------------------, 9 The Governor would receive this honor at the closing luncheon with Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Rappleye, Chair, Audit & Finance Committee Re: Authorization to Set Aside Funds from CMF Fund Balance Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve $100,000 of the March 31, 1999 General Programming fund balance be reserved for the following expenditures in fiscal year 1999-2000, as recommended by the Audit & Finance Committee. 1. President's Search Expenses $75,000 2. Office Improvements (carpeting and workstations) $25,000 After another successful year, CMF's General Programming fund has reached a balance of $419,920 as ofMarch 31, 1999. At the last Audit & Finance Committee meeting, a 1999-2000 budget adjustment of$100,000 was approved to cover the estimated costs associated with the President's search. While Ranny Riecker, Chair ofthe Search Committee, has indicated that contributions to fund this search would certainly be welcome, she felt it would be prudent to set aside up to $75,000 from our current fund balance to cover any expenses in excess of contributions received for this activity. Management is proposing that up to $25,000 from the current fund balance be used to pay for office improvements during 1999-2000. Those improvements would include replacing carpeting that is over ten years old and reconfiguring the workstations in lower level of the office. The CMF Chair, Ranny Riecker and the Audit & Finance Committee recommends both authorizations. \\NT-SERVER\STAFF\DLINDBER\COMMITTE\FINANCE\99-00\M052199b.doc �16 Council of Michigan Foundations Audit Committee Meeting May 21, 1999 �17 May 21, 1999 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP 333 Bridge Street, N.W.

We have been afforded full access to all records and received full cooperation from CMF's management. The scope of our audit was conducted as planned and discussed with management in January 1999. Our audit was designed to provide reasonable assurance that errors and irregularities that are material to the combined financial statements would be detected. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the internal control structure for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the combined financial statements. We noted no significant matters relating to the internal control structure and its operation. In today's complex business environment, audit committees play a vital role in overseeing the financial reporting process. Although reliable financial reporting is primarily management's responsibility, the importance of the Audit Committee and its role has increased steadily over the years. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Division for CPA Firms membership requirements state that the external auditor should communicate certain matters to the Audit Committee at least annually. Such matters have been summarized and included in this report. Very truly yours, �18 Council of Michigan Foundations Contents Pages 1.

The second section presents a discussion item on the future of MCFYP. We are pleased to share this progress and look forward to your counsel. I. INFORMATION A. MCFYP Update Kellogg Youth Challenge The MCFYP Board has approved matching payments totaling $45,831,076. Plans are underway to have two final celebrations to recognize the efforts of 68 community foundations in completing the Kellogg Youth Challenge on September 20 in Marquette and September 22 in Battle Creek. This means that there is a balance of$1,168,924 remaining in the Youth Challenge. At the direction of the MCFYP Board, staff are preparing a plan for these funds to become a permanent endowment that would support a position to coordinate statewide networking and training activities. This plan will be considered at the fall MCFYP Board meeting before being presented to our funder for consideration. Enhanced Technical Assistance Karen Tice from FERA, the MCFYP evaluator, has provided an interim report on the work of both Dorothy Reynolds and the Fund Evaluation Group (FEG) that confirms the value of this specialized assistance. Dorothy Reynolds is now working with many of the smaller foundations on the development of donor advised funds and area that is new because such funds did not qualify for the Kellogg Challenge. The MCFYP Board has approved the Phase II contract with FEG to continue their investment advisory services. Efforts will focus on implementation of asset allocation strategies and monitoring investment performance. In addition, John Brown, national planned giving expert will be training 50 staff and trustees from small community foundations in May and again in September. Adventure Tours We are pleased to share that youth grantmakers from the Rhode Island Foundation, the Little Rock Arkansas Youth Council, the Muncie Indiana Community Foundation, the Berks County Pennsylvania Community Foundation, the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz California, and six community foundations in British Columbia will be participating with 200 Michigan Y ACers in Adventure Tours 1999, June 24-27 at Michigan State University. �B. Venture Product Fund We are excited to have Bob Tobin of Williams Marketing Services (WMS) in Grand Rapids at the Board Meeting to present an update on the Venture Product Fund. WMS has been retained to be the Project Manager on this important undertaking addressing three goals: to do further research about potential untapped audiences for community foundations, to develop a product portfolio of existing and new products for community foundations, and to develop a communications toolkit for community foundations to use individually and collectively in reaching both advisors to the wealthy and untapped audiences. We are grateful for the work of many volunteers from the community foundations who are helping Bob Tobin and his colleagues at WMS. C. Community Foundation Best Principles and Practices This is a "work in progress" with six committees of volunteers assisting staff in developing manuals that will complement the six sections discussed below. We hope to have preliminary copies ready for the community foundation sessions at the Annual Conference. CO:MMUNITY FOUNDATION BEST PRACTICES Principles & Practices Individuals and communities involved in creating and operating a community foundation in Michigan have asked for guidelines and best practices to consider when assessing the operational effectiveness of their foundation. With this in mind, the Community Foundation Committee of the Council ofMichigan Foundations (CMF) has adopted the following best principles and practices and recommends their adoption by the boards of trustees of community foundations and an annual review for new and current trustees. Michigan is unique in having community foundations included in the state tax code as a result of the individual and business tax credits. The goal of these best principles and practices to promote wellrun community foundations that can best maximize the potential for asset growth and grantmaking in their communities. CMF has a close relationship with the Community Foundations Committee of the Council on Foundations in Washington that is working on the development of national standards for community foundations. It is recognized that the principles for best practices summarized below represent a "work in progress" that will eventually be merged into one national document for community foundations. While state and/or federal law require many ofthe best practice principles, the Committee recognizes there are different approaches to implementation of some principles. As a result, CMF has developed a manual on Best Practices for each of the six main principle headings. It is also recognized that the six main principles are integrated -e.g. that communications is key to effective governance, administration, asset development and grantmaking. Copies of these manuals along with sample forms can be obtained from CMF. Intended to be instructional, these practices are reviewed annually in order to share what works best for community foundations. Additional ideas are always welcome. �52 1.

DISCUSSION ITEM A. Future ofMCFYP (Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project) With the close of the Kellogg Youth Challenge on December 31, 1998, it is time to look at the future role ofMCFYP as a supporting organization of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Based on productive discussions held with the Community Foundation Committee and the Board of Trustees ofMCFYP, the follow recommendations are offered for discussion. With your approval of this plan, we will seek approval of our funder to implement this plan at the start of our next fiscal year, April 1, 2000, and present the necessary formal resolutions for your consideration at the November Board Meeting. Recommendations: 1. That MCFYP continue as a supporting organization of CMF. 2. That the future mission ofMCFYP be redefined as the "promotion and support of youth as grant makers". 3. That the composition ofthe Board ofMCFYP be restructured to include up to 10 individuals with vote: 3 youth grantmakers, 4 representatives of community foundations, and 3 CMF Trustees (including the President of CMF). 4. That the MCFYP Board meet at least twice a year to: • monitor the activities of community foundation youth advisory committees - such as the longitudinal study being conducted by our evaluator FERA through 2010, • oversee special training activities such as the fall regionals and adventure tours, • promote the use ofYAC Best Practices, • consider activities that can further promote and support the work of youth as grantmakers, and • explore opportunities to help Y ACs leverage their funds with private and outside funders. 5. That the remaining one million dollars in the Youth Challenge be used to create a permanent MCFYP endowment that would be used to both support a position at CMF to coordinate YAC trainings and to help underwrite the cost of the trainings. 6. That the endowment, built through the interest earned on the Kellogg Challenge, be used to support general and specialized technical assistance services for community foundations provided through the core operations ofCMF and not MCFYP. This income would start to be used in April 2001 when the current funding for technical services is exhausted. We look forward to discussing these recommendations with you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Irish, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Re: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following activities for family foundations. Family Foundation Luncheons and Discussions In southeast Michigan, two luncheons for family foundation trustees and individuals considering establishing foundations were planned. The first, hosted by the Earl-Beth and Fink Foundations, was held on April30, 1999 at The Grosse Pointe Club and was a huge success. It was obvious that the twenty-seven guests tremendously enjoyed having the opportunity to meet each other and to informally discuss the issues that are important to family foundation trustees. The second luncheon is planned for Wednesday, June 2, 1999 at the Orchard Lake Country Club in Oakland County. The Detroit Neurosurgical Foundation, Shaevsky Philanthropic Fund and The Young Foundation are hosting. We are most appreciative of the leadership and financial support provided by the five host foundations. If the second luncheon on June 2 is as successful as the first, we are planning to repeat the model around the state. The Family Philanthropist The Spring 1999 edition of The Family PhilanthropistL CMF' s newsletter for family foundations, was distributed in May and featured a profile ofRanny Riecker, President, Harry A. & Margaret D. Towsley Foundation, Trustee, Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation and CMF's Chair. (A copy is in the pocket of your board book.) Annual Conference We are excited that Ginny Esposito, President, National Center for Family Philanthropy, has agreed to present a "special" two-hour family foundation workshop on "Continuing the Tradition: Generations and Geography". The National Center, established in September 1997, is the only national resource center that focuses solely on matters of importance to families engaged in philanthropy. Ginny's workshoj will be offered immediately prior to the peer luncheons and the opening of the 27 Annual Conference on Tuesday, November 2, 1999. �59 Concurrent sessions for family foundation trustees will include "Conversation with Carmel Borders", "Which Comes First-You or The Money? Are You Perceived as the Community Wallet?" and "Now Tell Us What You Think, Need Or Want: A Family Foundation Peer Networking Session". Individual Meetings Susan Howbert, Rob Collier, and Dottie Johnson continue to provide technical assistance to family foundation members and potential donors. Recently, considerable time has been spent cultivating new relationships and working with new family foundation members. One ofCMF's greatest resources is its satisfied members who frequently refer their friends to us. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Maynard, Co-chair David B. Kennedy, Co-chair Governments Relations Committee Re: Government Relations Committee Report Tab 8 Page 37 CMF Legislative Goal Statement Resolved: CMF Legislative Goal Statement be revised to include the two proposed items, and changes as indicated in bold. The proposed additions and changes are noted in bold on the attached statement. The Committee recommends the addition of two goals, one related to charitable split dollar plans on a national level, and the second on a state level related to distribution of the tobacco settlement. The Committee recommends no action be proposed on the repeal of the estate and gift tax legislation introduced in the last session of Congress. Donor Advised Funds is an issue raised by a Taxation staff member, but at the present time, there is no proposed legislation. Ad Hoc Public Policy Committee Proposed Resolved: CMF establish a Public Policy Committee which would meet when interest was expressed by a group of CMF Members to discuss a certain subject. The subjects would be of programmatic interest, such as devolution and not related to self-defense matters such as tax legislation. The Committee would only meet as interest develops and would not take formal stands on issues or propose such action to the CMF Board. Educational material from the Committee would be shared with the membership as appropriate. It has been suggested that the first two co-chairs of this ad-hoc committee be Kari Schlachtenhaufen, Vice President, The Skillman Foundation, and Miguel Satut, Program Officer, W.K. Kellogg Foundation. State Legislators's Grantsmanship Seminar On Monday, March 22, 1999, CMF sponsored the biennial seminar for legislators and their aides in Lansing. Speaking were Ranny Riecker, Towsley Foundation; Benita Melton, Matt Foundation; Jim McHale, Kellogg Foundation; Patricia Reynolds, Capitol Region Community Foundation; Laura Trudeau, Bank One; and Rob Collier, CMF. Each legislative office received a copy of the new Michigan Foundation Directory at the event, or later in their Lansing office. Participants numbered 90. The evaluations were excellent. �38 Council on Foundations Legislative Network and Seminar More than a dozen CMF Members and CMF are part of the national COF network, now electronically connected throughout the country. COF has agreed to cosponsor with CMF a two-day training program on the media and government with the idea of encouraging additional members to be involved in the legislative process. The event will take place in the Spring of 2000 and will be structured to appeal to advanced and beginning grantmakers in each subject. As a committee member said, "we need to get the next generation as informed and enthused as we are on the issues crucial to foundations, charitable giving and philanthropy." State Legislative Network The Committee reinforced the importance of having as strong a state network as we do a federal network. Toward that end, staff is identifying one or more grantmakers in each Senate and House district who ideally knows the individual and/or would be willing to contact them in the district on issues related to philanthropy. The lists will be completed shortly and contact made with CMF Members over the summer months. Status of Current Legislation CMF contacted each Congressman requesting support ofH.R. 1310 (Charitable Deduction Relief Act) and HR. 1311 (IRA Rollover), as well as asking that members of the CMF Legislative Network do the same. To date, sponsorship is as follows: H.R. 1310: Camp, Ehlers, Kilpatrick H.R. 1311: Camp, Ehlers (A companion Senate bill has just been introduced, and Senators Abraham and Levin have been contacted). H.R. 887: (Gilmour Bill not supported by CMF). No Michigan sponsors, only four number nationally. It is expected that we will be able to report additional cosponsors at the board meeting, June 4, 1999. tab8bdbk5-25 �39 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement June 1999 (Proposed) Philanthropy in America Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 1997, foundations and corporations donated more than $21.6 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 program changes initiated by national, state, and local governments, as well as increased needs. 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 30 years of experience, it is also apparent that a number oflnternal Revenue Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive on the grantmaking effectiveness ofMichigan's more than 1,468 foundations, as well as the more than 42,500 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 ofMichigan Foundations must work actively to inform the general public, as well as state and federal legislators and other policymakers, on these important issues. It must seek support for legislative changes that encourage the role and effectiveness of foundation and corporate philanthropy. That is the purpose of the following Council ofMichigan Foundations' Government Relations Program. Background: CMF Government Relations Program In 1977, the Council ofMichigan Foundations' (CMF) Members directed the Board of Trustees to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy. This program was to include a plan to communicate with public policymakers. A Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the program. �40 Since then, the Government Relations Committee has surveyed the C:MF 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, other regional associations of grantmakers, Independent Sector, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and other nonprofit organizations to enhance the understanding of public policymakers 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 following twenty-one goals have been accomplished: NATIONAL • Reduction of mandatory pay-out requirement for private foundations from a proposed 6 3/4% to 5% • Excise Tax on private foundations reduced from 4% to 2% and in some cases 1% • Private foundation .65 limit on grant administrative expenses terminated • Fair regulations on private foundation lobbying have been issued • Full deductibility of gifts to private foundations of publicly-traded stock made permanent • Gain portion of gifts of appreciated property is not subject to the alternative minimum tax reduction • Affidavit process for simplifying private foundations grants to non-U. S. Charities instituted • Private & Community Foundations allowed to ownS-Corporation stock • Protected charitable gift annuities as attractive giving vehicle for donors • No part of premiums paid for D&O liability insurance need to be treated as compensation by directors of any charitable organization • Regulation passed indicating U. S. Foundation grants to nonresident aliens would be taxed depending on the place where the research or study takes place • Community foundations permitted to administer pooled income fund • Due date of first estimated private foundation tax payment on investment income changed to coincide with the due date of the Form 990-PF • Generation-skipping transfer law pertinent to the predeceased parent exclusion, extended for charitable lead and remainder trusts �41 STATE • • • • • • • Repeal of the state inheritance tax Community foundation tax credit for individuals and businesses made permanent with no cap Limitation of the tort liability of volunteers of nonprofit corporations Repeal of the Michigan Intangibles Tax 50 I (c)3 organizations allowed to have an insurable interest in the life of an individual who has given written consent Legislation passed allowing gifts and bequests received by units of local government (cities, villages, counties, public libraries), to be gifted to community foundations Amended the nonprofit corporation act to allow youth ages 16 and 17 to serve on the boards of nonprofit corporations, with vote 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; April 12, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995, October 30, 1996, March 13, 1997, and November 4, 1998. 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: 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 all historical financial data be taken into consideration. History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. (Reilly/Skadden, University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration study sponsored by CMF, 1981 -Private Foundations: The Payout Requirement and Its Effect on Investment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study "Spending Policies and Investment Planning for Foundations," 1995, sponsored by the Council on Foundations.) CMF is sponsoring an updated study which will evaluate the "actual" performance of Michigan's endowed private foundations with assets of more than $5 million over a forty-year period. �42 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 to a private foundation of appreciated property in the form of publicly-traded stock, if the gift is less than 10 percent ofthe outstanding stock ofthe company. However, in other cases, such as privately-held stock, the amount of deduction continues to be limited to the donor's cost or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The same gift to a public charity entitles the taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction. 4. Goal: Reduce excise tax to flat 1 percent instead of the present complicated formula which permits, in some cases, a reduction from 2 to 1 percent. Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from 2 to 1 percent if a foundation's payout for the year in question equals or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets, times the average payout percentage for the five years, plus 1 percent of the foundation's net investment income. 5. 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. �43 6. 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 persons" if, over a ten-year period, they meet certain requirements to distance themselves from the foundation. However, there is still no logical rationale - - or examples of abuse - - to justify the inclusion of lineal descendants beyond the level of grandchildren. 7. 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." 8. Goal: Secure passage oflegislation 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. Legislation has been introduced in 1999, H.R. 1310, which will allow non-itemizers to deduct 50 percent of their charitable contributions over $500. �44 9. 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. 10. 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 nonprofit 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 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. 11. Goal: Permit tax free distribution from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes. Explanation: It is proposed that direct gifts from an IRA to a charitable organization would not be taxed as income to the account-holder who has attained the age of 59-1/2 years of age, known as the IRA - Rollover Bill. It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many charitable organizations, including conununity foundations. H.R. 1311 and S. 1086 have been introduced. 12. Goal: Avoid excessive corporate giving regulations. Explanation: Legislation has been introduced, H.R. 887, which would require public companies annually to disclose to their shareholders the charities to which they made contributions and the amount of each contribution if a corporate officer or spouse is on the grantee's board. CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation which would require costly administration. 13. Goal: Support legislation eliminating Charitable Split Dollar Insurance Plans. Explanation: As designed and marketed, a donor setting up a CSDI plan makes a "gift" to a charity and claims a charitable income tax deduction for the full amount. The charity then uses the gift to pay the premium on a life insurance policy on the �45 life of the donor for the benefit of the donor's heirs. At the death of the donor, the charity gets a portion of the death benefit (normally one-third the value), and the heirs get the rest plus any tax-sheltered accumulation of the policy. The insurance broker pushing the product also gets a sizable commission. Note that for the donor to be able to deduct the full amount of the gift, the charity will have to provide written verification that the gift was received without any goods or services to the donor in return. Advocates for this scheme argue that the full amount is deductible because each donation is an unrestricted cash gift, and the charity may choose not to purchase the insurance policy. H.R. 630 denies a charitable contribution deduction for the donor of a split-dollar contract, and imposes an excise tax on the charity equal to the amount of the premiums paid by the charity. Certain reporting requirements are also established by the legislation. pbitzerbdbktab81egstate �46 State Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to commuJ?.ity benefits as it relates to nonprofits. Explanation: Legislation has been proposed in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Texas which threatens the tax exemption of charitable organizations. CMF, working with partners such as the Michigan Nonprofit Association, 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. The United Way of Michigan is taking the lead on possible introduction of a limited tax deduction. 3. 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. Progress: Legislation was passed by the Senate in 1998 and was considered in the House Taxation Committee. An updated Administrative Revenue Bulletin on community foundations is being sought from Department of Treasury to cover some of these issues. Similar 1999 legislation is being introduced by Senator Joanne Emmons. 4. Goal: Support legislation allowing gifts and bequests received by public school systems to be gifted to community foundations. Explanation: While a number of community foundations have scholarship funds established by school systems, Michigan law is currently "grey" on this issue. Legislation will remove the uncertainty and promote further partnerships between school systems and community foundations. Progress: Legislation developed by Duane Tamacki will be introduced by Representative Geiger. Representative Allen, Chair of the Education Committee, has indicated his support. �47 5. Goal: Pursue legislation necessary for a portion of the state tobacco settlement funds to be granted to Michigan community foundations for the establishment of Healthy Youth Funds. Explanation: Michigan's share of the national tobacco settlement ($206 billion over the next 26 years) between 46 states, five commonwealths and territories and the District of Columbia with five tobacco companies, representing 97.5% of the industry, is $8.3 billion. The master settlement agreement does not specify how states may spend their settlement payments. The House has approved and sent to the Senate a bill to use 75% of the funds to support the Michigan Merit Awards that would provide a $2,500 award to students, who meet or exceed state standards, for study at any two or four year higher education institution in Michigan or federally approved apprentice program. CMF's proposal is geared towards the remaining 25% portion of the settlement. Progress: Governor Engler has been briefed on CMF's proposal and a meeting held with State Treasurer Murray. Discussions are now underway with key legislators. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson Re: Increasing Philanthropy - Update Tab 14 Page 62 Resolved: Expand Increasing Philanthropy Committee. CMF has had numerous initiatives, member committees and task forces to expedite each activity. It is proposed that staff work with interested board members, Members, and cooperating partners to focus activities and explore new options. Opportunity: As I have reported at other board meetings, the Forum ofRegional Associations is sponsoring the National Initiative to Promote Philanthropy, a project to expand philanthropy at the local level. Launched in 1998, Russ Mawby is a member of the Advisory Board, and I chair the Initiative. The project is in the process of raising $10 million to fund projects supported, not only by RAGS, but community foundations, NSFRE Chapters, United Ways, nonprofit associations, etc. The first round of grants has been completed (the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan African-American project, with CMF's partnership) received funding. CMF purposely did not apply because of the numerous activities we already had underway and my role as Chair of the Initiative. There may be an opportunity to apply for support for one of the numerous projects CMF has undertaken including, the community foundation marketing and positioning project which identifies four categories -- women with hidden wealth, blue collar wealthy, entrepreneurs, advisors, as well as many others. Background: In 1984 the CMF Board formally changed CMF's mission to include the word "increase." It was logical to expand the mission "to enhance, to improve, and to increase philanthropy in the state ofMichigan," as CMF has had a long history of working with individuals, foundations and corporations to accomplish their charitable goals. Russell G. Mawby chairs the Increasing Philanthropy Committee. A summary of CMF increasing philanthropy activities includes: • • • • Michigan Community Foundation's Youth Project. (To date has resulted in creation and expansion of 56 community foundations and 39 affiliate funds with assets in excess of $1 billion). Increase in number of family foundations. (For example, between 1996-1998, 257 family foundations were created). Expansion and increase in number of corporate foundations and corporate giving programs; not a large number, but CMF has seen an increase in requests for service, particularly from mid-size corporations. Work with Advisors to the Wealthy. �63 • • • • • (Participated with The Philanthropic Initiative in interviewing 70 Michigan advisors; CMF committee often advisors formed). Publications. (CMF has numerous publications supporting this effort. Revised versions of"So You Want to Give-Options for Giving," and "The Basics of an Organized Corporate Giving Program," will be distributed at the board meeting). Education Programs. Technical Assistance. K-12 Education & Philanthropy Project. Michigan AIDS Fund. pbitzertabl4bdbk5-22 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Swaney, Jr., Chair, Investment Committee RE: March 31, 1999 Investment Report Tab 5 Page 28 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the March 31, 1999 Investment Report. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council ofMichigan Foundations, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund, for the period ended March 31, 1999. The bench mark rates of return are based on the targeted asset allocation using the previous 12 and 24 months returns for the various indices listed at the end of this report. On the attached you will find the investment performance and asset allocation reports for the period ending March 31, 1999. Fallowing the receipt of the KYIP funds in 1997, they were invested based on the targeted asset allocation over a twelve-month period ending August 31, 1998.

Mawby, Chairman, K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project C. David Campbell, Steering Committee Member Julie F. Cummings, Steering Committee Member Dorothy A. Johnson, Steering Committee Member Dr. John W. Porter, Steering Committee Member Re: K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Update Tab 13 Page 60 The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Steering Committee met on May 6, 1999. New Steering Committee members welcomed were: Julie F. Cummings, Max M. and Marjoire S. Fisher Foundation; Susan Wally, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation; Susan Kelly, Hudson's. Plan ofWork The plan of work for 2000-2003 was presented encompassing ten major goals: 1. Continuing development of new lesson plans and teaching materials 2. Professional development for teachers and outreach to new teachers 3. Links to school improvement initiatives 4. Parent involvement, youth group outreach, and congregational programs 5. Work with related systems such as service-learning, and school-to-work 6. Dissemination ofthe teaching of philanthropy in Michigan, nationally, and internationally 7. Public relations and marketing 8. Self-sufficiency for the project in the future 9. Human resources, Steering Committee utilization, and staffing 10. Evaluation: formative, summative, and longitudinal. This plan of work will guide the next stage of development of the project. The plan includes the integration of the lessons in Michigan, introducing the Indiana developed youth organization and congregational components in Michigan, disseminating the lessons in ten states, and laying the groundwork for international dissemination. Lesson Acceptance The first set of 100+ lessons, K-12, have been field-tested by seven teachers (five in Michigan, two in other states). In addition they were given a final review by a committee of the Steering Committee. The lessons were accepted and will be placed on the web-site during the summer of 1999. Summer Residential Institute A summer residential institute is planned for June 20-25, 1999 in order to bring thirty new teachers into the project. Upon successful completion of the institute, these teachers will join the current project teachers to become "teacher-consultants." The teacher- I:\PBITZER\BdbkTabl3May 999 Report. doc �61 consultants will become peer educators for other teachers and they will provide inservice professional development. This is the start ofthe formal dissemination process. 11 Association for Philanthropy Education 11 A new membership organization is proposed that will lay the groundwork for future selfsufficiency for the project. While the final name has not been chosen, the new organization will provide support and a focus for teachers, and other interested parties, who want to stay actively involved in philanthropy education. Second Annual Black Philanthropy Conference The K-12 project was presented at the Black Philanthropy Conference in California and was very positively received. Interest from foundation leaders and educators in California, North Carolina, Washington State, and New York on replicating the project will be pursued. Fund-Raising Update Since the report in November, the following grant/contract support has been received: An anonymous donor $600,000 over three years to support field-testing lessons and three summer residential institutes for teachers The Ford Foundation $200,000 over three years to support Marketing McGregor Fund $160,000 over three years to support development of the parent involvement component Michigan Department of Education $ 63,000 over six months (renewable) to support: A baseline survey of the State ofMichigan related to the status of service-learning Development of the State ofMichigan service-learning web-site Technical assistance to fourteen Learn and Serve Michigan grantee school districts Summer residential institute support. Proposals that are still under consideration are: Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation $75,000 for targeted lessons in economics and philanthropy and a summer institute in Kansas Charles Stewart Mott Foundation $75,000 to begin international dissemination and a high school level textbook Lilly Endowment $6 million for the next cycle (2000-2002) basic operational support, bringing the Indiana elements to Michigan, and Michigan to Indiana. The next Steering Committee meeting is scheduled for September 9, 1999.

The mailing has so far resulted in nine new members! We are thrilled with this success and will continue targeted mailings to other groups as appropriate. VI. 1998-99 Membership Campaign- Membership Committee and Board As a result qf the campaign, the following joined CMF because of letters, phone calls and meetings. The name of recruiters is noted in parentheses. Free Press Charities, Inc. (Mariam Noland) James & Catherine Haveman Family Fdn.

Wilson Foundation (Gil Hudson) W. Tom ZurSchmeide, Jr. Foundation (Gil Hudson) We continue to contact potential members to urge them to enjoy the special benefits ofmembership in CMF. VII. Individual Contributors At the present time, CMF does not accept individuals as members. The board has discussed the issue from time to time, with direction to staff that if, and when an individual(s) is interested, that the issue again be raised. We are not recommending a change of policy at this time, but wish to inform you that two individuals have indicated to staff that they are interested in obtaining in depth information from CMF about their charitable options. They would like to make a financial contribution to the organization in consideration of the time and resources needed to serve them. As they consider how to proceed, they would also like to attend CMF educational programs. �36 Membership Report May 25, 1999 Page Four Both expect to make a decision on how they wish to proceed with their charitable giving options to encompass two CMF annual conference cycles. Staff has informally discussed a suggested contribution level of$500. It should be noted that part of CMF's mission is to serve interested donors and their advisors without charge. Such assistance is usually in the form of publications, technical assistance by phone, the Annual Conference and specialized meetings and in some cases, personal meetings. In these two cases, the donors are interested in making a contribution to CMF. Staff recommends that we accept the contributions, much as any public charity would accept funds to fulfill their mission. These two cases would provide important information to the Membership Committee and management on the issue of accepting individuals as CMF Members. At the present time, eight Regional Associations of Grant makers accept individuals as members. ljfischennembership99-2000report6-4-99 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson Re: Progress Report- Private Foundation Payout Study Tab 9 Page 48 At the June, 1998 board meeting, it was determined that CMF would sponsor with participating Members a study on private foundation assets and payout that would focus on actual performance of participating foundations in Michigan. An Advisory Committee, chaired by Ranny Riecker, was named. (See attached list.) Subsequent to the first meeting of the Advisory Committee, a Technical Sub-Committee, chaired by Robert E. Swaney, Jr. was named. (See attached list.) CMF is most appreciative of the volunteer time of all concerned, but particularly the Technical Sub-Committee, and its chair, Bob Swaney, who will be with us at the June 4, 1999 CMF board meeting. The attached grant request summarizes the current status and funding of the project to be undertaken by Cambridge Associates. It is important to note that first, the study has been expanded to include not only the actual performance of participating foundations, but an analysis of payout rates on a general level as well. Cambridge & Associates has historical records, which will make this analysis valuable. Second, it has been determined that it would be advisable to include a few more national funders, in addition to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Cambridge & Associates is preparing a time line for the project with a completion date targeted for early fall, in anticipation of discussing the study at the CMF 27th Annual Conference. It is expected that a letter announcing the project will be sent to CMF Members later this month. CMF staff will be available to help any Member needing assistance on assembling the data for the thirty-year period, 1968-1998. It should be noted that contributions to support the study have been received from the Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Proposals have also been submitted to the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and The Kresge Foundation for consideration. tab9boardbook5-25 �49 Council of Michigan Foundations Private Foundation Payout Study Advisory Board (as of 9/5/98) Chair: Margaret A.

The Council members have become a collegial, networking community of family, independent, community and corporate foundations, and corporate giving programs. CMF is very well known and highly respected, not only in Michigan, but throughout the national philanthropic community. The Council president and staff work closely with nonprofit, corporate, government and civic leaders and organizations to both educate and connect the various sectors in pursuit of effective philanthropy. As testament to CMF' s credibility, the Council has been entrusted with key support for various statewide initiatives including the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project, the K-12 Education and Philanthropy Project, and the Michigan AIDS Fund. Primary activities of the Council include technical assistance and member services; education of members and others who relate to philanthropy; and advocacy with respect to issues that impact on philanthropy.

Rappleye Chair, Audit & Finance Committee Re: CMF & Supporting Organizations' March 31, 1999 Financial Statements Tab 4 Page 22 Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve the March 31, 1999 Financial Report as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. On May 21, 1999 the CMF Audit & Finance Committee met to review and approve the March 31, 1999 internal statements for CMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund. Management is proud to report that the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP), and the Michigan AIDS Fund have all completed another successful year, with excess revenues over expenses exceeding the 1998-99 budgeted surplus. Consolidated Balance Sheet Note A: Cash & Cash Equivalents The relatively high cash balance for MCFYP is due to the short-term nature of the funds required to meet future challenge grant commitments and community foundations' programming needs over the next two years. Note B: Net Assets With the continued strong performance of the U. S. stock market, the endowment funds for CMF and MCFYP have reached a current market value of$7, 111,845. The amount listed as passthrough funds represents the funds that will eventually be forwarded to three KYIP sites located within the State ofMichigan. I:\DLINDBERIBOARDMEnCMF\l999\M060499.doc �23 Consolidated Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets The net surplus for 1998-99 for MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund exceeded budget. Prior to this meeting, the individual boards ofMCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund met and reviewed their March 31, 1999 year-end results in detail. This section of the financial report therefore focuses on the results for the CMF Core Operations. You will also find a consolidated statement for the CMF endowment funds that show the actual surplus for 1998-99 exceeded budget by almost $32,000, with total expenses $9,053 less than budget. Core Operations Statement of Activities Note 1: Conference Income Revenue and expenses for the Annual Conference are over budget, due to the record number of attendees (1,291) at the 1998 conference. Note 2: Publications & Library Services Due to the strong demand for the 11th Edition of the Directory revenue exceeded both budget and the year-end projected amounts. Note 3: Investment Income Investment income for the Core Operations has remained strong due to earnings on funds received for special projects. Note 4: Salaries Salaries for 1998-99 were over budget for the year, due to the wages for the Detroit office position, which are now being charged directly to the CMF Core Operations. Note 5: Publications The variance from budget is due to cost associated with the publication of the Directory. Note 6: Travel Travel remained under budget for the year due to fewer out-of-state trips taken by staff, and a concentrated effort to combine trips for more than one purpose, where possible.
