We are most thankful for the support of this program from the Hudson-Webber Foundation, the McGregor Fund and the Skillman Foundation. The establishment of a CMF-Detroit program has resulted in expanded technical assistance, enhanced programming and increased membership in southeast Michigan. Over the past year, the following different kinds of events and activities have occurred: • New collaborative established City Connect Detroit, a new Detroit collaboration initiated by The Skillman Foundation, was established. The members of the collaborative include Accounting Aid Society, Bank One, City ofDetroit, Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, Council of Michigan Foundations, Detroit Edison Foundation, Detroit Youth Foundation, Hudson-Webber Foundation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Kresge Foundation, McGregor Fund, Michigan Nonprofit Association, The Skillman Foundation, and United Way Community Services. This group of fourteen grantmakers, city officials, and technical assistance providers have agreed to work together to increase the capacity of southeast Michigan nonprofits and to bring more federal and national foundation dollars to Detroit. CMF has provided staff support since the inception of the idea of the City Connect collaboration in December 1998, and has been asked by the members of the collaborative to manage the project during its planning year beginning October 1, 1999. • Programs for advisors to the wealthy Two workshops for advisors to the wealthy, co-sponsored with the Jewish Federation ofMetropolitan Detroit, were held. The workshops, "The Psychology of Wealth Transfer in Estate Planning" with Dr. Lee Hausner and "Current Issues in Charitable Giving and Estate Planning" with Lawrence Katzenstein, Esq. were well-received by over 200 southeast Michigan lawyers, accountants, investment managers and bankers. �56 • Funder/nonprofit workshop series "Conversations-Strengthening Relationships between Funders and Nonprofits in Southeast Michigan", a series of three roundtable workshops, which will be offered in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties during the spring of2000, have been planned. The purpose of the workshops is to build relationships between grantmakers and grantseekers, and to improve the grantmaking process. • Technical Assistance expanded Technical assistance is more accessible to southeast Michigan organizations. Assistance has been provided to CMF members, new philanthropic programs and grantseeking organizations, such as The Isiah Thomas Foundation, Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation, Dense International America, Lear Corporation, Pepsi Cola Company, Castaing Family Foundation, Shallal Family Foundation, The Holley Foundation, American Red Cross of Southeastern Michigan and Alternatives for Girls. • Increased membership in CMF by SE Michigan foundations More than twenty new southeast Michigan members have joined CMF, many as a result of the technical assistance they received as described above. • Enhanced programming for grantmakers and grantseekers Thirty southeast Michigan grantmakers and grantseekers enjoyed the satellite broadcast of The White House Conference on Philanthropy: Gifts to the Future on October 22 at Eastern Michigan University Foundation's Eagle Crest Conference Resort. A Women in Philanthropy Book Club was established to build relationships among women employed in the field of philanthropy in southeast Michigan. • Regular participation in SE Michigan grantmakers' meetings and collaboratives and support of nonprofit events A staffed Detroit office has allowed for regtilar CMF participation in grantmakers' meetings such as the ACE Collaborative, Funders' Collaborative, the Program Officers' Group, and the Regional Detroit Chamber's Business Contributions Council, in addition to the support of numerous nonprofit community events. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Cummings, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Re: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following family philanthropy activities: Recognition of Ann Irish's service as Committee Chair As I begin my service as Chair of the Family Philanthropy Committee, I would like to recognize the stellar leadership of my predecessor, Ann Irish, President, Elizabeth E. Kennedy Fund. Over the past four years, Ann skillfully guided and thoughtfully developed CMF's family philanthropy program. Her enormous experience with and understanding of family foundations helped to create an excellent program for donors, potential donors, and their families, staff, and advisors. Thank you, Ann, for your enormous contribution to increasing and improving family philanthropy in Michigan. The Family Philanthropist The Fall 1999 issue of CMF' s biannual newsletter for philanthropic families was mailed in October. It features an excerpt from Grantmaking With A Compass: The Challenges of Geography, a monograph recently published by the National Center for Family Philanthropy, and an interview with Dottie Johnson with regard to her work with Michigan's philanthropic families over the past 25 years. Annual Conference The Annual Conference is featuring six special family philanthropy sessions: • "Generations & Geography: Impact on Family Foundations", a special, two-hour preconference, interactive workshop on a topic that can affect all sizes of family foundations, with Ginny Esposito, President, National Center of Family Philanthropy; • "Family Foundation Peer Luncheon" sponsored by the Drake-Quinn Family Charitable Foundation; • "Conversation with Carmel Borders". Carmel will share what she and her husband are doing with their Tapestry Foundation as a model of the philanthropic style of today's new donors; • "Which Comes First: You or the Money? Are You Perceived as the Community Wallet?" A panel of grantmakers will discuss lessons they have learned while juggling community volunteer commitments with foundation trustee responsibilities; �19 • • "White Privilege: Walking in Someone Else's Shoes", an interactive session to allow participants to better discern their own assumptions, prejudices and misunderstandings; and, "What's On Your Mind: A Family Foundation Peer Exchange", an opportunity for family trustees to discuss family foundation issues with their peers and to offer their ideas with regard to CMF family philanthropy programming. A new service to be instituted at this year's conference is the Family Foundation Hospitality Suite-a place for family foundation trustees to meet and get to know each other, discuss topics of particular interest to philanthropic families or simply relax for a few moments. All Board members are encouraged to come by for a visit! Family Foundation Luncheons and Discussions Building on the success of the two family foundation luncheons held in Southeast Michigan last spring, similar events in other regions of the State are being planned for spring and summer 2000. We are delighted that The Alden and Vada Dow Fund has offered to host a luncheon on Friday, May 19, 2000 at the Alden Dow Home & Studio for families from Midland, Bay City and Saginaw. Family Foundation Membership Family foundations continue to be the largest membership group for CMF with 23 new members in the first six months ofthe 1999-2000 fiscal year, bringing the total to 189. Parfet's to Host Southwest Michigan Donors Ann and Don Parfet have agreed to host an evening in their home, with potential donors to explore charitable options. To be held early in 2000, this event will be similar to the evening in Detroit, hosted by Julie and Peter Cummings.

Maynard David B. Kennedy Re: Government Relations Committee Report State Legislation Senate Bill 796, to strengthen the definition of a community foundation and sponsored by Senator Schuette, has passed the Senate and has been sent to the House, where it is anticipated that action will be taken by the end of the year. Mariam Noland and Dottie Johnson met with House Taxation Chair, Representative Nancy Cassis this summer, and in recent days, Rob Collier has testified before the Senate Taxation Committee. While good news that the bill has passed the Senate, we expect even more questions from the House. The current legislation was proposed and approved by the Community Foundation Committee, chaired by Jack Hopkins. House Bill4959, sponsored by Representative Terry Geiger, to allow school systems to transfer gifts to community foundations, has been approved by the House Education Committee with supporting testimony be Geiger and Rob Collier. Approval by the House is expected shortly. Rob Collier will join Representative Geiger in testifying before the Senate Education Committee, chaired by Senator Bennett, in early December. Federal Legislation As you know, the 1999 tax bill, which included legislation pertaining to gifting of IRA's to charitable organizations for individuals over 72 years of age, was vetoed by the President. It is expected that this issue and others will be addressed early in 2000. CMF will work with COF and the other regional associations of grantmakers, to get other issues noted on the CMF Legislative Goal Statement included. Hearings on H.R. 887, a bill to require corporations to be "more accountable" to shareholders, are to be held Friday, October 29, 1999, in the Committee on Commerce. Under the terms of the bill this accountability would come in two forms: • First, corporations would be required to disclose in the annual proxy, any contributions (above a threshold amount to be determined by the SEC) made to a nonprofit organization of which a corporate director (or his/her spouse) was also a director of the beneficiary nonprofit organization. • Second, corporations would disclose to their shareholders, in a format to be determined by the SEC, the total value of contributions made to nonprofit organizations in the previous fiscal year, and those individual contributions which exceed a threshold amount (also to be determined by the SEC). �21 Three Michigan Congressman are members of the Commerce Committee: Congressmen Dingell, Stupak, and Upton. COF General Counsel, John Edie, has asked the Council of Michigan Foundations to contact each of them to gain further insight on the issue. Note: Maureen H. Smith, Vice President, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, is a member of the COF Legislation & Regulation Committee. Private Foundation Payout Study Work continues on the CMF -sponsored payout study, being undertaken by Cambridge & Associates. You will recall, that the study to be completed in the next three months, will look at the ACTUAL investment performance of a group of private foundations for thirty years, beginning in 1968, as well as to include historical information and some hypothetical portfolios. Two advisors have been added to the project to provide technical expertise .... Dr. Charles T. Clotfelter, Professor of Economics, Duke University, and Dr. Saul H. Hymans, Professor of Economics & Statistics, University of Michigan. At this stage, more than 50 private foundations are included in the study, primarily from Michigan. Robert E. Swaney, Vice President, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, chairs the Technical Sub-Committee. Thanks go to him and Paul Lawler, Mike Sweeney, Ed Hunia, Nick Gabriel, and others for their hard work on the project. In recent weeks, two other studies have been published by the National Network of Grantmakers and the Committee on Responsive Philanthropy. A hypothetical study is expected to be published by the Council on Foundations, early in 2000. Once the CMF data has been reviewed by the Technical Sub-Committee, a meeting of the Advisory Committee, chaired by Ranny Riecker, will be held. CMF Visits Capitol Hill with RAGS on the Hill We hope you will reserve February 1 and 2, 2000, when CMF will once again visit the Michigan delegation in Washington, D. C., to discuss issues important to philanthropy, in addition to explaining to the legislators the work of your organization. This will be the sixth annual CMF visit, which includes an evening dinner Tuesday, February 1, 2000, (this year hosted by S. Martin Taylor, Vice President-Corporate & Public Affairs, The Detroit Edison Company), as well as the University of Michigan Capitol Hill Breakfast, the RAGS/COF luncheon, and other activities. As before, accommodations have been reserved at the Monarch Hotel (previously the ANA Hotel), with dinner to be held at the 1789 Restaurant. We are in hopes that several CMF Members and Board of Trustee Members will join us. CMF will join our colleagues from throughout the country, under the sponsorship of the Forum of Regional Associations and COF.

Mawby Robert S. Collier Re: Increasing Philanthropy Efforts Page 15 The purpose of this memorandum is to share information on two new efforts that contribute to our goal to Increase Philanthropy in Michigan. 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 of Michigan," 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 (Participated with The Philanthropic Initiative in interviewing 70 Michigan advisors; CMF committee of ten 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 �16 I. Project for New Ventures in Philanthropy As you know the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers operates a special regranting initiative called New Ventures in Philanthropy that Dottie Johnson chairs. While CMF did not apply for a grant from New Ventures in the initiative's first year, we have applied for a grant in this second year. The purpose of the $90,000 two-year Project, is to work with three minority professional advisor associations: the Lansing and Flint Chapters of the National Association of Black Accountants, the Lansing Black Lawyers Association, and the Hispanic Bar Association of Michigan, in providing their members with the tools to help their clients with organized charitable giving options. The eight primary activities of the Project can be summarized as follows: 1. To conduct a pre and post survey of the members of the targeted partners on the promotion of philanthropy with their clients 2. To prepare and distribute 250 copies of a culturally-sensitive packet for Advisors on Tools for Giving 3. To develop 20 stories on Hispanic and African American donors and distribute 250 discs to advisors 4. To present a session on philanthropy at regular meetings of each of the partner organizations 5. To hold three regional meetings annually on philanthropy with the membership of the coalition partners in the cities of Flint, Lansing and Grand Rapids. Each day-long meeting shall have an half-day agenda designed for accountants, and an half-day agenda designed for lawyers 6. To provide 100 copies of Establishing a Charitable Foundation to the partner organizations 7. To develop and test two ads for use in advisor publications used by the members of the partner organizations 8. To assist two of the partners in placing information on the promotion of philanthropy and organized grantmaking on their web sites · Additional collaborating partners with CMF will be the African-American Legacy Project of the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, the community foundations in Flint, Lansing, and Grand Rapids, and the local chapters of the National Society of Fund Raising Executives (NSFRE). The Project is also able to build on the work for advisors that Williams Marketing Services is doing for the Community Foundation Venture Products Fund. If funding is not received for the Project, CMF will still proceed with activity four with each of the three minority professional associations, so that new relationships to promote philanthropy continue to be made. �17 II. Study on Michigan Giving Professor Mark Wilson, Director of the Nonprofit Michigan Project of the Institute for Social Research at Michigan State University, has launched the 1999 Survey ofMichigan Philanthropy with support form CMF's Mawby Fund and the Aspen Institute's Michigan Nonprofit Research Fund. The Survey will interview 1,500 residents across the state making it possible to identify charitable giving patterns in the 10 most populous counties and the City of Detroit. The Survey of Philanthropy will focus on two major elements of giving by Michigan residents: Giving Behavior • Contributions of money to nonprofit and community organizations • Contributions through wills and bequests • Time spent volunteering • Sources of giving values Caring, Confidence and trust • Importance of living in a caring community • Confidence in nonprofit and community organizations • Role of nonprofit and religious organizations in daily life Results of the Survey will be available for distribution in spring 2000. The current lack of detailed data on philanthropy makes a survey of this type a valuable resource for CMF, MNA and our other nonprofit partners in the state. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Swaney, Jr., Chair, CMF Investment Committee RE: September 30, 1999 Investment Report Page 12 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the September 30, 1999 Investment Report. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council of Michigan Foundations and supporting organizations' permanent funds, for the period ended September 30, 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 September 30, 1999. An additional schedule has been provided as of June 30, 1999, that compares the one year actual returns to a quarterly report from Cambridge and Associates, Inc. entitled Comparative Asset Allocation and Total Return. This report summarizes the returns for endowments of colleges and universities, independent schools, museums and libraries, foundations, medical endowments, and other institutions. The June 30, 1999, report was the latest report available from Cambridge. On the September 30, 1999, Investment Performance Report you will note that the William Allen Fund two year return exceeded the other endowment funds by approximately 1%. This variance can be explained by the fact that during the first six months of 1998 the Allen Fund was reallocating the equities portion ofthe portfolio from actively managed to index funds.

Although CMF continues to be supportive and encourage organized philanthropy, we recognize the need to be supportive of new, innovative and emerging charitable giving. Two individuals have become members based on this newly adopted membership policy. Staff will continue to work with them as they organize and formalize their philanthropic giving. �26 Membership Report October 28, 1999 Page Four VI: Potential Members Attending 27th Annual Conference Detroit Youth Foundation (Freddie G.

Johnson, MCFYP Chair RobertS . Collier & Donnell S. Mersereau Re: New Plan for the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project and CMF's Supporting Organization for Community Foundations The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) was started with two goals: to provide every citizen in the state with access to a community foundation and to engage youth as grantrnakers. These two goals have been completed. There are now 61 certified community foundations with 34 geographic affiliate funds covering all 83 counties. There are now 86 community foundations youth advisory committees (YACs) with permanent endowed youth funds established with nearly $46 million in challenge funds from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation. Therefore, 1999 marks a year of transition for MCFYP as the Kellogg Youth Challenge is completed. The staff and CMF Community Foundations Committee have developed the following plan that was presented and approved by both the MCFYP Board of Trustees and the CMF Board of Trustees at their meetings on October 14, 1999. The plan addresses the following three goals: 1. To continue to support youth as grantmakers through theY AC model and engage YAC members in the design and implementation of technical assistance provided. CMF has approved a bylaw change to create a permanent standing advisory committee that shall be known as the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Committee. The Committee of up to 15 shall have a majority of its members be YAC members of alums under the age of 21 . The Committee shall oversee the technical assistance activities such as the regional trainings, adventure tours, site visits, Mawby intern, and mcfyp web site. The initial committee members have been drawn from the MCFYP Board of Trustees and State Youth Advisory Board. The list of these names is included in the report to the CMF Board from the Supporting Organization. 2. To continue to provide intensive technical assistance to community foundations with a focus on the community foundations with assets of less than $1 0 million. MCFYP and CMF have approved transfer of the Board Designated Fund with assets of $5 million, to CMF to become the permanent endowed Community Foundations Fund. This Fund has been accumulated over the last eight years, with approval of theW. K. Kellogg Foundation, from the interest earned on the investment of early payments by Kellogg ofthe Youth Challenge Funds to MCFYP. This Fund shall be overseen by �34 CMF's Community Foundations Committee and starting in 2001 , its income shall be used to continue the special technical assistance now being provided by MCFYP with Kellogg Foundation support to small community foundations. The list of initial Michigan Community Foundation's Ventures (MCFV) Board members is included in the report to the CMF Board from the Supporting Organization. 3. To continue to operate a supporting organization that can support the special collaborative initiatives of community foundations, such as the Venture Products Fund. CMF has approved effective January 1, 2000, the renaming ofthe supporting organization now known as MCFYP to Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV) with a revised purpose to support special collaborative initiatives that will contribute to continued asset development, proactive grantmaking, and community leadership by Michigan community foundations that meet and operate in accord with basic standards. The new Board ofMCFV will be the CMF Community Foundations Committee expanded to include representatives from the smaller community foundations as well as all regions of the state. The primary project of MCFV is the venture Products Fund that is developing community foundation products and communication tools for local, regional, and state-wide use. It is important to state that the standards serving as a requirement for participation in MCFV will not affect the membership of community foundations in CMF. CMF will continue to be the nurturing organization with a goal to help all of the community foundations be able to meet the standards. Attached is a copy of the Standards that will be presented on November 2 to the community foundations . These Standards compliment the standards being developed at the national level by the Community Foundations Committee of the Council on Foundations. Finally, we have included for your review, the final list of the 87 community foundations and affiliates that received Youth Challenge grants over the past eight years, along with 1998 examples submitted by community foundations, of grants that make a difference, leadership activities, and of proactive YAC grants. There are now 86 YACs because the Hudsonville YAC is being folded into the Grand Rapids Foundation YAC. I:rcollier/cmfboard/mcfypnovreport �35 DRAFT- 10/8/99 Standards for Michigan Community Foundations The community foundations ofMichigan recognize that we live in an age in which professions and fields of work are expected to have and to follow standards that promote both accountability and the highest ethical behavior by all parties. Recent incidents in the operations of national and regional non-profit and philanthropic organizations have pointed out the need for standards in the nonprofit sector. In addition, a vital partner in the continued growth of the community foundation field, are those professions that serve as advisors to the wealthy - lawyers, accountants, financial planners, etc. - all professions with standards. Because we recognize our responsibility to our donors and our communities to have the best possible philanthropic organizations to respond to the wishes of donors and the needs of communities, the community foundations ofMichigan have developed standards for our field in Michigan. We believe that the following standards will help assure donors and their advisors of consistent performance in the operations of all community foundations in Michigan and contribute to the success of any joint marketing and donor development efforts - both statewide and regionally. These standards are proposed in addition to the requirements of state and federal law and are supported by the Community Foundations Best Principles and Practices adopted by the Community Foundations Committee of the Council ofMichigan Foundations. In addition they have been designed to complement the development of national standards by the Community Foundations Committee of the Council on Foundations. Evidence of the implementation of these standards has been adopted as a requirement for participation in Michigan Community Foundation Ventures (MCFV), the supporting organization of the Council ofMichigan Foundations. The purpose ofMCFV is to support the joint activities of community foundations in Michigan which will contribute to increased asset development, proactive grantmaking and community leadership. It is the hope of the Board of Trustees of MCFV that every community foundation will strive to implement these standards and seek assistance from the Council ofMichigan Foundations in doing so.

This grant not only helped to make the dream of a teen center a reality, but also generated broad community support. Barry Community Foundation A grant to the Hastings Junior Chamber of Commerce established the Yell ow Ribbon Project that creates awareness of teen suicide and its prevention. This project includes letters to parents of high school students, distribution of cards to all teens and provides information during study hall periods on how to use your card if you are in a crisis situation. On the first day of distribution, a young man turned his card in to a counselor, seeking help. Battle Creek Community Foundation The Habitat for Humanity- Student I.M.P.A.C.T. grant had the most impact. The community was able to see youth address a social issue in a realistic way. The YAC raised the money, put up walls, etc. They were in charge of the project. Bay Area Community Foundation The Youth Initiative of BACF awarded the Bay City Players a grant for their Youtheatre program. The Bay City Players theatre provides a needed cultural outlet in the Bay community, and provides theatrical opportunities for adults as well as children. The theatre is also an historical icon in the community since it is the oldest community based theatre in Michigan. Berrien Community Foundation Benton Harbor middle school students now have the opportunity to experience the excitement of sailing on Lake Michigan. Thanks to a grant from the Berrien Community Foundation YAC, students are learning the skills of sailing while also learning the dynamics and benefits of teamwork. The students are also learning about the environment and how important fresh water is to our survival. Branch County Community Foundation The YAC issued an RFP to organizations addressing ongoing substance abuse prevention for teens. SADD groups from the 4 local school districts received funds. Youth for Christ/Campus Life co-sponsored with YAC a program to bring in a nationally known speaker to address the issues of self-esteem and substance abuse. The school districts, as well as the community, benefitted from the programs. Charlevoix County Community Foundation In 1997, the YAC awarded Planned Parenthood Northern Michigan a grant to develop and pilot a male responsibility program aimed at adolescent boys. The goal of the program was to reduce teen pregnancy by impacting adolescent males' self-esteem, communication skills, knowledge of sexuality and contraception and decision-making skills. An adult male leader and male peer educators facilitate the program. Initial �41 feedback from participants showed such positive results that, in 1998, the program was expanded to seven counties in Northern Michigan. Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Dickinson County Community Foundation A workshop was provided to give young people an opportunity to explore stagecraft principles and see them in actual stage production at the Community Performing Arts Center. The workshop involved many professionals from the community working with the youth for the play Scrooge: Stingiest Man in Town. Grand Rapids Community Foundation The Youth Committee has supported summer programming at the Grand Rapids Metropolitan YMCA for four years. Through the YAC's most recent grant, the YMCA's summer middle school program will offer middle school-aged youth the opportunity to get together with peers at the downtown or West YMCAs five nights a week, instead of three nights a week as in previous years. This gives youth a place to go away from environments of substance abuse and violent behavior. Gratiot County Community Foundation A YAC grant supported a cultural trip by 3'd graders from one of the depressed elementary schools in our county for a cultural trip. The students only asked for funds for bus transportation, and earned admission to the event themselves. The fact that the request was only for part of the event, with the students earning the remainder, had a great impact on the YAC members. Hillsdale County Community Foundation A grant was made to the student council of Pittsford High School for an "American Humanities Live" project. This became a community activity involving all the children in the school (K.-12). Different areas of arts were presented on the main street of the town by and for young and old. The main street became a festival of celebration of the arts. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area The YAC supported development of Wetlands Pavilion, a collaborative project with public and parochial schools, a corporate donor, and building professionals to invest in the future of youth, youth learning and the environment. Jackson Community Foundation AWARE, Inc. of Jackson provides victims of domestic abuse and their children with temporary shelter and support services during time of family crisis and instability. With a grant from the YAC, children between the ages of 6 and 12 can participate in group counseling sessions, attend special activities and summer day camp. The goal of the program is to help youngsters express feelings, learn conflict resolution and end the cycle of violence. �42 Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Marshall Community Foundation Legacy of Learning: In this project high school students instruct senior citizens on computer use on a 1 to 1 basis. Senior "students" write a brief history of their lives, which is accessible via a web page, and learn to e-mail. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation This grant facilitated a peer tutoring program presented by senior Spanish students for new Spanish-speaking children in Buchanan schools. In the course of helping the students with their school work, the high school students were called upon to help parents translate their school and social needs and concerns as well. The good of the grant expanded from helping individual children do better in school to helping families blend more effectively into the community, which became more open and welcoming to cultural diversity. Midland Foundation The grant the YAC believes has had the greatest impact is the Circle of Health Partnership's "Teens Teaching Teens" grant. This is a peer education program, which teaches students about drugs and alcohol so they can teach their peers. The program has been quite successful. Thirty students completed the training and have had the opportunity to make a significant impact as they have trained over 200 more students. Community Foundation for Muskegon County One ofthe most significant YAC grants was to the Michigan Pine and Dunes Girl Scout Council. On the Girl Scouts property, there was an inaccessible low-lying wetland habitat area. With help from the YAC grant, the Girl Scouts made this area accessible to physically disabled youth by building a new trail system. Their science program serves over 2,000 youth a year and is one of the few that focus on pond and wetland habitat in the county. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan A grant given to Get Excited And Rally (G.E.A.~.) is supporting construction of a skateboard park. This park provides many local students with a place to go after school, which is away from the congested downtown area. This grant, along with funds from other local organizations, is making the permanent park a reality. Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation Early, unintended pregnancy is always a concern. Instead of going the easy route and expanding our conventional sex ed programs, our YAC is encouraging some new approaches in our communities. For example, we helped fund an innovative project �43 aimed at helping teenage boys change their attitudes about gender roles, dating, and risky behavior; continued support ofMERlT, a far-reaching program that helps young girls develop life goals, make healthy decision, and steer clear of peer pressure; and made a grant to "Who's in Charge?", a program that promotes teen responsibility and abstinence. Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Our YAC participated in a Chamber of Commerce program to fund teacher incentive projects. The YAC chose 3 proposals from area schools and funded the teachers for innovative classroom projects. Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Community Foundation of St. Clair County Kids Voting in Michigan The goals were to increase student participation and civic responsibility, to supply schools with resources and materials, and to introduce students to the importance of voting. Kids Voting-St. Clair County encompassed more than 55 voter precincts, 65 schools, 300 volunteers and 6,300 students throughout St. Clair County. Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan At Western International High School, a youth grant has helped create a system to assist students in tracking their school's sports statistics while improving participants' math skills. The program, called The All Sports Club, teaches youth how to track and interpret statistics. In addition, participants attend three college sporting events to see how statistics are tracked at the college level. The students then share their experiences with middle school students, learning relationship skills in the process. Sturgis Foundation The YAC provided a grant to Youth for Christ to initiate after school programming for middle school children. Tecumseh Community Fund Foundation A grant for "BLOOM Where You Are Planted" involves youths with and without handicaps in a horticulture project coordinated by the MSU Extension and Hidden Lake · Gardens. �44 Grants That Make a Difference Summaries of 1998 grants submitted by community foundations for their community impact Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation A grant to assist in the development of a pilot outreach program for high-risk homeless addicts. Committed to breaking the cycle of addiction, Dawn Farm proposed a transitional facility that supports addicts and alcoholics that are chronically homeless and unemployed. The grant funds were used to support research for a pilot program that Ann Arbor never had. The week after the grant was approved, Dawn Farm was approached with the opportunity to rent a former crack house and set up the transitional program. It was so successful in its first year of operation, Dawn Farm has recently purchased an 18-unit apartment complex to provide more transitional housing. Barry Community Foundation A matching grant to the Delton Area Senior Housing Committee to purchase equipment and furniture for the common areas of the Country View Senior Housing Project. The HUD grant did not allow for the "extras" that are necessary for a housing development of this nature. With the assistance of this matching grant, the Housing Committee was able to purchase all of the equipment necessary for the residents to enjoy a desirable quality oflife. Bay Area Community Foundation Childcare needs are very high in Bay County. It has been proven that, sometimes, many lower income parents can not hold down steady jobs due to childcare needs and demands. Many parents in our area have a difficult time finding affordable quality daycare on a minimum wage job. Campfire Boys & Girls ofMidland, Bay and Saginaw Counties are now providing quality affordable childcare in Bay City thanks to a grant from our Foundation. The average daily charge is $10 per student, but scholarships are awarded to families who cannot afford the tuition. There is now one less obstacle preventing some community members from keeping or getting a job. Berrien Community Foundation During the past two years, an unusually high number of children lost their lives due to home fires in Berrien County. The Berrien Community Foundation had a big impact in bringing Little Squirt out of the repair shop and back on the road. This grant also expanded the number of schools Little Squirt could visit to teach children to 11 stop, drop, and roll. 11 One of the most unusual teaching tools, Little Squirt is having a positive impact on the fire safety education of children and their parents. Branch County Community Foundation The Foundation helped fund the Dearth Community Center. There was no single location that nonprofits could rent that would accommodate 800 people. Community organizations and individuals can now rent the center for volunteer appreciation activities and other community events. Grants That Make A Difference �45 (con 't.) Dickinson County Area Community Foundation Through a grant from our Foundation, the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center was pleased to offer 20 free Nature Naturally programs to elementary and middle school classes in our area. Nature Naturally is a program designed by the Florence Natural Resource and Wild River Interpretive Center to provide quality supplemental natural resources programs for area students. Grand Haven Area Community Foundation The Board of Trustees and the Youth Committee jointly funded start-up costs for a new non-profit agency called the North Ottawa Ethnic Diversity Alliance. The group had previously existed as an all-volunteer organization, but now is able to hire a full-time director. The goal at the agency is to create and continue a community that embodies diversity. Gratiot County Community Foundation A grant was given to seven elementary schools to provide items for students who had needs that were not being met otherwise. Teachers and counselors went shopping to provide their most needy students with clothing, food, reading books for home and other necessities. Faculty and recipient students were touched by this grant, as were local businesses that offered a discount on these purchases. Hillsdale County Community Foundation The grant to the Rotary bike path has had the most impact. We were involved in the initial planning, helped them include a youth component, and were a player in the collaboration between the service club, city government, the public and the Foundation. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area A grant and pledge to Boys & Girls Club supported their capital campaign to build a facility that will offer a unique place where children of all walks of life can come together under one roof The center opened in 1999 and has been highly successful and often filled to capacity. Jackson Community Foundation After two years of collaboration and coordination with local nonprofit organizations and funders, the Jackson Nonprofit Support Center became a reality. Jackson's nonprofits now have access to the information and support they identified as the most important resources needed to operate efficiently and effectively. With a grant from the Foundation, an endowed fund was established to assure the Center's ongoing operations. Marshall Community Foundation A grant to the fire department supported purchase of a Thermal Imaging Camera that allows firefighters to "see through" smoke to find people trapped in a building.

Participants no longer have difficulty or embarrassment about entering and leaving the pool and classes are now filled at each session. Midland Foundation Two projects have particular significance. Grants were made to Meridian Public Schools in support of "Project Pride" for renovation of the outdoor athletic facilities of the district that impacts all the youth and many of the residents of the Sanford area. An additional multi-year project, "Restore the Dream", supports the restoration of an art deco theatre/auditorium within Midland Public Schools, and impacts all the students of the district as well as many community groups which will use the facility. Community Foundation of Monroe County A grant wasgiven to display the VietNam Memorial Moving Wall which provided excellent exposure for the community foundation, with over 20,000 visitors. Mt.

Community Foundation for Muskegon County A grant to Catholic Social Services supports the Directions program that works with teen mothers and their babies to ensure the safety, emotional and physical well-being of these at-risk children in our county. The goal of this program is to prevent a second pregnancy for these teen moms, while connecting them to community resources. The Directions Program is intensive, long-term and individual, using both home visits and the use of a teen parent advocate. 85% of the teens in this program do not give birth to a second child. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan A grant was made to the Alpena Homeless Coalition for the purpose of providing community education regarding homelessness.

Two substantial grants this year went to the Char-Em Housing Coalition and Habitat for Humanityorganizations that are doing their best to make certain no one is left out as housing prices and land costs continue to rise. Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Our largest and most visible grants were awarded to two local community projects: Rotary Gateway Park and Veterans Memorial Pointes. These are both highly visible and received much publicity. Community Foundation of St. Clair County The purchase of a telemedicine communication system for the Visiting Nurses Association allows nurses to monitor patients from a central nursing station, while the patient remains in the comfort of their home. It allows both the examiner and patient to talk to and actually see one another through the use of telephone lines. The examiner can also monitor the patient's blood pressure and pulse and listen to heart and lung sounds. Sault Area Community Foundation A grant was used to purchase water testing equipment by the Munuscong River Watershed Association, for use by area high school environmental classes. This information is placed in database form and then entered into a web site at Lake Superior State University. This type of hands-on work project promotes goodwill, volunteerism and concern for the local environment and its impact on the surrounding community. Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan A grant was made to Wayne State University for the Weather Stations Network Program. The goal of this project is to establish a network of weather stations in high schools throughout Southeastern Michigan. These stations are used by teachers trained at the 1998 Summer Sciences Institute to collect weather data used in classes at their schools, and also by a central server and posted on the Internet. The intended benefits are to improve high school education in science, encourage teacher collaboration across district lines and enhance lessons of teamwork collaboration and electronic communication for the students.

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation The Foundation's Distribution Committee targeted housing and homelessness as a grant focus for 1998. In an effort to leverage the Foundation's funds, a group of20-25 service providers were convened to target specific needs and dvelop a project proposal to submit to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Local Initiatives Funding Partners Program. The proposal was not funded, but the primary local funding partners, the Foundation and county government have continued to support the concept and have developed a collaborative grant program that will be implemented in 1999. Berrien Community Foundation Business and community leaders, educators and the general public have accepted the Berrien Community Foundation's invitation to recognize outstanding teachers in Berrien County. All to often teachers never receive the public recognition for their contribution to the teaching profession, yet their impact is immeasurable and significant to our quality oflife. Through the Golden Acorn Awards Program, the Foundation has successfully taken a leadership role to raise public awareness and appreciation for the outstanding teachers in Berrien County. Branch County Community Foundation The Foundation initiated a Nonprofit Coalition that helps local nonprofits address administrative needs. The NPC created a countywide volunteer form for individuals to fill and return to the Foundation. The Foundation forwards the application to the organizations indicated by the volunteer, and contacts are made. Dickinson County Community Foundation Supporting our new Volunteer Resource Center has been a key leadership activity. Four County Community Foundation Our Foundation participated in focus groups for "Creating a Healthier Macomb" . This mission is to set an example of collaborative problem-solving and to be the impetus for shared efforts aimed at improving the quality oflife of the residents ofMacomb County.

Michigan Gateway Community Foundation With increased tourism and water-related activities, our Unity Hospital Education Fund invited the Buchanan Township Fire Department to develop a plan for water safety in conjunction with other area fire departments. The Fund's primary concerns were with water education to prevent injury and death. With this focus, the foundation helped to purchase a fire boat. Midland Foundation The need for affordable housing in Midland County is significant. The Midland Foundation was pleased to be a partner in a multi-unit apartment project by raising local dollars, purchasing land, and gifting it to the Affordable Housing Alliance for this project. Other partners were the United Way of Midland County (provided staff to incubate the new Alliance), the City of Midland (owners of an adjoining piece of property also used for the facility), and the local private foundation community (significant funding) .

Last year, Joining Forces of Muskegon County supported ten welfare moms as they created new licensed childcare businesses in low-income neighborhoods. The project has also undertaken initiatives intended to affect system wide change in the local childcare industry. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan The leadership role we are most proud of is being fiscal agent for the Multi-Purpose Activity Center (M-P AC) organization. Through community donations, M-PAC has raised over $1.4 million for the Sunrise Side Ice Arena. This widespread support has allowed M-P AC to have a millage request placed on the November ballot for construction of the Arena.

Lindberg RE: CMF 2000-01 Budget Resolved: That the enclosed Council of Michigan Foundations' 2000-01 Budget be approved as recommended by the CMF Executive and Audit & Finance Committees. During the month of January the CMF Audit & Finance and Executive Committees met to review the attached budget. As part of the Audit & Finance Committee's oversight duties of the two supporting organizations they also conducted a review of the budgets of the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures and the Michigan AIDS Fund. It should be noted that final approval of the supporting organizations budgets are the responsibility of their respective Boards.

Maynard, Chair Government Relations Comittee Re: Government Relations Committee Report Capitol Hill Visit February 1/2. 2000 We ~re excited to report that 23 members, and staff are visiting with each of the members ofMichigan's congressional delegation on February 2. The visit is starting with the customary dinner and briefing at the 1789 Restaurant in Georgetown - this year hosted by CMF TrusteeS. Martin Taylor, Senior Vice President Detroit Edison. Special guests for the evening include, Senator Carl Levin and his wife Barbara, Congressman David Camp, Congressman Pete Hoekstra and John Edie, Senior Vice President with the Council on Foundations. The major issues this year are the IRA Charitable Rollover, and the Non Itemizer Charitable Deduction Bill, which President Clinton mentioned in the State of the Union address. Legislation House Bill 4959, sponsored by Representative Terry Geiger, will allow school systems to transfer gifts to community foundations for use as the donor intended. Passed by the House and approved by the Senate Education Committee, the Bill did not pass in the Senate before Christmas because the charter school was attached to it in final negotiations. It will be taken up again by the Senate this winter. Senate Bill 796, sponsored by Senator Schuette, has been approved by the Senate. This Bill to strengthen the definition of a community foundation will be considered by the House Taxation Committee, chaired by Representative Cassis in February. Private Foundation Payout Study Cambridge Associates has submitted the draft report, "Sustainable Payout for Foundations." This report is being reviewed by.the Technical Subcommittee, chaired by Robert Swaney, Vice President, C.S. Mott Foundation. Other members of the committee include two technical advisors and financial officers from the Ford, Kellogg, Kresge, Mott Foundations and CMF staff. The Technical Subcommittee is meeting by conference call Monday, February 7, 2000 in hopes of having a final report for the Payout Study Committee, chaired by Ranny Riecker, and the CMF Board in March. �Government Relation Committee, January 31, 2000 Page 2 The draft table of contents for the report includes the following sections: • Introduction • Past Returns Using Passive Allocations • Asset Allocation of the Response Pool (Michigan Foundations in existence in 1973, with assets in Excess of $5 million) • Return Experience of the Response Pool • Payout Rates of the Response Pool • Future Projections • Conclusions • Appendices We had hoped to make this a 30 year study, but had to change the starting year to 1973 because that was the first year that the IRS required that the market value of noncharitable assets be reported. The period covered for the 48 private foundations in the study is 1973-1988. Marilyn Stein-LeFeber, Vice President, Communications, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, has joined the Technical Subcommittee to help with a Communications Plan and final editing. We have asked Dottie Johnson to continue to provide assistance to the Committee and project. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Doan RE: December 31, 1999 Investment Report Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the December 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 and supporting organizations' permanent funds, for the period ended December 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 December 31, 1999. An additional schedule has been provided as of September 30, 1999, that compares the one year actual returns to a quarterly report published by Cambridge and Associates, Inc. entitled Comparative Asset Allocation and Total Return. This report summarizes the returns for endowments of colleges and universities, independent schools, museums and libraries, foundations, medical endowments, and other institutions. On the December 31, 1999, Investment Performance Report you will note that the William Allen Fund two year return exceeded the other endowment funds by approximately 1%. This variance can be explained by the fact that during the first six months of 1998 the Allen Fund was reallocating the equities portion of the portfolio from actively managed to index funds.

We are excited about the potential for continued growth of philanthropy in Michigan and the opportunities to be of service to our members and the greater philanthropic community. I am honored to be given the privilege of serving as the next President ofCMF and look forward to working with the Board, staff and hundreds ofvolunteers in making this Plan operational. The purpose of this memo is to seek your counsel on recommended adjustments to the Goals and Objectives, and to the six personal goals I have set. I. Adjustments to Mission, Goals and Objectives The Plan of Work begins by restating CMF's Mission, Goals and Objectives. The attached document reflects the following two changes recommended by staff Goals & Objectives 1. Objective five under Goal - Educate, "to network community foundations electronically" has been deleted and the activities combined with those under objective four, "to build the organizational viability and leadership potential of community foundations." 2. "Offoundations and corporations" has been deleted from the Goal- Increase and the words "philanthropic and available" added. The revised Goal now reads, "To increase the philanthropic and grantmaking resources available in Michigan." In addition, the first objective under this Goal will now be "to increase the number of foundations and corporate giving programs." II. Personal Goals I offer the following six personal goals in four priority areas that will receive my highest attention. �1. CMF staffing and strategic plan My goal is to have a new Vice President selected and in place by no later than the June 2 Board Meeting. I have already started interviews and begun circulation of a job description. In addition, I have had preliminary discussions with several consultants about the need to begin CMF's next "five year" Strategic Plan. I feel that it is important to have the new number two person in place and other leadership transition issues out of the way before the Strategic Planning Process begins. Consultant Alice Buhl, who helped with the last Strategic Plan, has recommended that we not rush into a Strategic Planning process. Therefore, my goal is to have a Strategic Planning process ready for Board approval at the October 2 Board Meeting in Traverse City. 2. State Legislative Network My goal is to announce creation of a State Legislative Network at the 28th Annual Conference. While this is ambitious, I feel that it is vital that a CMF Member be matched with each member of the State Legislature. I recommend that the plan for creation of this Network be one of the agenda items for our February 9 Board Meeting and that our political consultant David Haynes ofPublic Affairs Associates be involved in this plan. During the last six months I have been involved with both House and Senate Committees on two community foundations bills. The impact of term limits in the House is startling. There are many new Representatives that need the basic education on philanthropy, i.e. what is a foundation, etc. By calling upon our members to become more engaged in educating their State legislators about the role philanthropy plays in their Districts, we are replicating what is being done nationally by COF. 3. Membership Retention and Development I believe that membership retention is going to be vital in this year of transition. Staff will work on new tools to state the benefits of membership as well as undertake a concerted effort to contact those members that have not participated in one of CMF's educational events. My goal is to insure that our goal of95% membership retention is met in the new fiscal year. In addition, we are continually being asked to provide services to advisors to the wealthy. I propose that the membership committee work with staff in reviewing our current membership criteria to determine if a type of membership category can be developed for advisors to the wealthy. My goal would be to have a plan presented by the October 2 Board Meeting. 4. Standards, Best Principles and Practices for Community Foundations CMF and its Community Foundations Committee continue to be leaders in the development of services for community foundations. Great progress has been made in the past year in the development of standards supported by best principles and practices. The challenge in 2000 is going to be working with community foundations statewide on the adoption of these standards. Therefore my goal is to help staff and the Committee succeed with efforts to implement these standards, and best principles and practices in 2000. �Council of Michigan Foundations Plan of Work April1, 2000 - March 31, 2001 Bold- New Plain - Ongoing �2000-2001 POW MISSION As a membership organization of foundations and corporations making grants for charitable purposes, the mission of the Council of Michigan Foundations is to enhance, to improve and to increase philanthropy in Michigan.
