After an extensive strategic planning process, management is pleased to present the attached budget for fiscal year 2002-03 (April I, 2002 to March 31, 2003). The Audit & Finance Committee approved the 2002-03 budget on January 17, 2002, with approval from the Executive Committee coming on January 22, 2002. Before reviewing the attached detailed budget management would like to highlight several issues that were examined during the budgeting process. Cost Containment Measures In looking at the next five years management has taken several steps to contain costs and in some cases reduce costs in the coming year, total estimated savings of $ 130,000. • • • • A position for an additional support person in Grand Haven that was budgeted in the current year will not be fill ed. The drug card and office co-pay has been increased resulting in an annual savings of $20,000 for 2002-03. With the recent resignation of the Assistant VP for Corporate & Educational Services, staff assignments have been restructured, along with the addition of an assistant in the Southeast Michigan office. These changes will result in a net savings of approximately $28,000 per year. The full-time community foundation Youth Project Coordinator position is currently being restructured to a consulting position, with a cost savings of $50,000 per year. CMF Dues Structure After several meetings with the Strategic Planning Task Force, Membership Task Force and Audit & Finance Committee, management is proposing that adjustments in the current dues structure be delayed until fiscal year 2003-04 . In fiscal year 2003-04 management is proposing to expand the current dues categories from 15 to 21 and with an across the board 20% increase. �Council of Michigan Foundations Serving grontmaker5.

She had a large amount of debt and was unable to get ahead financially. The idea of ever owning a home seemed improbable. Patty wanted to purchase a home for herself and her children, but was unsure how to negotiate a home purchase and, most importantly, how she would ever save enough money. After reading a newspaper advertisement and speaking with a friend, Patty found out that she could change her future through the Newaygo County Community Services Individual Development Accounts (IDA) program, in partnership with NCCS Center for Nonprofit Housing (CNH). Patty began the process of owning a home by meeting with Michelle Petz, NCCS IDA Program Coordinator. During the process, Patty started with $84 a month and as her income increased she would add additional money each month. She saved for 6 months. Patty received personal counseling on money management, learned how to correct credit problems and centered on the goal of becoming a homeowner. She had some credit card debt that she was able to pay off and she attended the Home ownership and Economic Literacy classes tlu·ough MSU Extension in Newaygo County. Financial Management classes included four 2-hour classes and in addition she received one on one counseling from CNH, another community partner to the program. She attended four 3-hour Homeownership classes to complete her asset-specific training. Homeownership was an idea Patty had only hoped would come true, but through hard work and sound money management skills, her dream came true. As a homeowner, Patty realized "I can do things for myself, feel more independent and feel more security for me and my children. I believe I've set an example to my kids that with hard work you can accomplish anything." Home purchased by Patty Bitson on December 31 ", 2001 through the NCCS IDA Program. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

David Campbell, Chair Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, President RE : 2002 Strategic Plan RESOLVED that the 2002 Strategic Plan be approved as recommended by the Executive Committee. I n June 2000, the CMF Board approved a strategic planning process and funds to retain the Williams Group to assist it in that process. On January 22, 2002, the Executive Committee reviewed t he 2002 Strategic Plan and recommended that it be presented to the full Board for approval at its February 19, 2002 meeting. This memo provides a summary of the main elements of the 2002 Strategic Plan along with a summary of the history of the planning process. Three attachments provide further detail: • A flow-chart showing key element s of t he 2002 Strategic Plan. The development of and final outcomes of each of these elements is discussed in the following pages. The flow-chart provides a handy summary in abbreviated form. • A flow-chart showing the interrelationship of Phase II Committees and Task Forces which generated strategies and tactics presented in the next attachment. • The Strategic Plan Chart of Objectives, Strategies, and Tactics- 2002-2004 for the external and internal purpose area. TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 1 �REVISED 2/12/02 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS 2002 STRATEGIC PLAN Phase I: October 2000- May 2001 I. Strategic Questions Phase I of the Strategic Planning process began at the October 2000 Board meeting where the following Strategic Questions were identified. These questions served as a touchstone t hroughout the planning process and, we believe, have now been satisfactorily answered . (Please see attached for responses to these questions). 1. How can CMF best serve the evolving needs of an increasingly diverse, specialized membership? 2. I s CMF a state, regional, national, or international organization? 3. What is CMF's desired relationship wit h state government? 4. How does CMF define and manage its evolving role as an intermediary? 5. How does CMF resolve tensions between dual roles of member service and philanthropic leader? 6. What is CMF's hierarchy of roles and initiatives relative to its mission? 7. What metrics are most important to CMF as we look to the future? II. Our Environment: Key Trends Affecting CMF Guided by the Board's October 2000 questions, staff conducted an environmental analysis to identify key trends that would affect CMF over the next several years and to which the final strategic plan needed to respond. A summary of the resulting report (Attachment. .. ) follows. A. Society: The Information Age The late 20th and early 21st centuries are marked by the transition from an industrial to information-based economy, globalization, diversity, an expanding economic and technological divide between the least and most advantaged citizens, social alienation, concern about the decline of civil society in America, and the maturing of Boomers and Gen Xrs whose lifestyles and desires are markedly different from their elders. Rapid technological advances are a major factor in these trends, redefining work, life, community, and culture. These changes have stimulated a search for meaning and connectedness, and the creation of communities free of geographic and political constraints, and focused around such things as place, interest, faith, and lifestyle. KEY FACTORS: Technology • Impacting all aspects of life and work • Catalyzing creation of "communities of interest" • Transforming business practices across sectors • Changing how we learn and connect • Supporting global migration of ideas, values, best practices • I ncreasing divide between rich and poor TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Feb l l.doc 2 �REVISED 2/12/02 Society • Increased concern about need to strengthen civil society • Predominance of middle class values when middle class is shrinking, and gap between rich and poor expanding • Search for values, sense of community, and spirituality • New definitions of community driven by globalization and technology • Widening demographic gap between young and old (majority white elderly vs. majority diverse youth) B. Wealth & Giving: Individual and Organized Philanthropy The late 20th century saw an explosion in the growth of foundations, changes in forms of giving led by "venture philanthropists", and increased opportunities for giving by all citizens. This growth has been accompanied by increased media scrutiny, calls for higher foundation payout rates, and the general public's continued lack of knowledge about philanthropy and its impact. KEY FACTORS: Demographics of Giving • More people generating more wealth than at any time in U.S. history • Largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history • Increase in number of U.S. millionaires and billionaires • U.S. wealth concentrated in fewer households • Giving as a percentage of personal income unchanged for 30 years • 10% of households making 54% of all contributions • More than 75% of $175 billion donated in 1999 coming from living donors • Wealthy giving away tiny percentage of assets during lifetime • 80% of wealthy giving only in response to routine gift requests • Reduction in corporate grant dollars due to mergers and acquisitions Approaches to Giving • Growth in number of community foundations • Explosive growth in number of family foundations • Increased giving by people of color to t raditional causes and NPOs • Growing interest in new forms of giving (e-philanthropy, giving circles, etc.) • Increased donor interest in personal involvement in giving • Increased emphasis on training next generation of family philanthropists • Growing tendency of donors to take proactive stance • Growing investment in building NPO capacity • Move to niche funding to increase impact and create distinct public image • More foundation interest in partnerships and cross-sector collaborations • Increased globalization of giving by family and corporate foundations • Internet transforming donor research, networking, and giving TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 3 �REVISED 2/12/02 Support for Giving • Increased demand for donor-advised funds • Entry of financial services firms into donor service market • Expansion in number and type of giving vehicles available to donors through non-profit and for-profit firms and community foundations • Growing family foundation demand for education and personalized technical assistance • Expansion of Internet-based networking, resources, and on-line giving options C. The Non-Profit & Public Sectors Over the last 20 years, the non-profit sector has expanded faster than any other economic sector in the U.S., seeing a 100% increase in the number of NPOs. Most NPOs are small, organizationally fragile, and often undercapitalized. Public policy reforms have led to devolution and privatization compounding NPO fragility and shifting responsibility from the public to the non-profit sector in many areas. These reforms have increased NPOs' reliance on private sector funding leading to the proliferation of "special projects" designed to attract funding and general operating dollars and to an increase in public/private partnerships. More recently, the public sector has begun increasing its role as a monitor of the non-profit sector. The changing relationship between the nonprofit and public sectors has been complicated in Michigan by the introduction of term limits. At the federal level, redistricting may reduce Michigan's influence on public policy. KEY FACTORS: • Doubling of NPOs over past 20 years causing confusion/duplication of effort • Fragile NPO sector: many small, undercapitalized, poorly managed • Increasing tendency by NPOS to adopt private sector practices • Decreasing distinctiveness between public and private sectors • Devolution and privatization increasing NPO reliance on private sector funding • Increased scrutiny of sector leading to creation of standards and accountability • General lack of awareness/understanding of philanthropy among general public • Growing perception of foundations as stewards of "public funds" • Evolving relationship with elected state officials complicated by term limits • Expanding government role, i.e., watch-dog, policy enforcer, partner • Possible decrease in Michigan influence at federal level due to redistricting D. RAGs as Associations Across the globe, RAGs and other types of associations are feeling the impact of increased competition, technology, globalization, more and more diverse members, competing member expectations based on generation-specific needs, higher member expectations for maximum benefit and personal service. To stay relevant and effective in a rapidly changing environment, leading associations are adopting more sophisticated business practices, expanding and refining their TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 4 �REVISED 2/12/02 use of technology, expanding member categories, assuming new leadership roles, entering into non-traditional partnerships and collaborations, and seeking ways to generate greater revenues from traditional and non-traditional sources. KEY FACTORS: Member Expectations o High quality, customized programs and services based on generational preferences o Help brokering partnerships and collaborations o Proactive servant-leadership o On-demand access to information and services o Effective advocate with state government o Leadership for best practices and standards Organizational Design (Cultural Characteristics) • Shared leadership • High performing/high accountability boards • Knowledgeable staff supplemented with consultants • Nimble • Prizing intellectual capital over financial and physical assets • Entrepreneurial • Customer focused: building product into every service, service into every product • Technology savvy • Global in mindset and culture III. Looking Inward: Desired Cultural Characteristics Informed by the Board and environmental trends analysis, the Board endorsed a set of Cultural Characteristics it believed CMF needed for future effectiveness. These align with those of effective 21st century associations, with CMF's increasingly diverse membership, and with the ever more competitive field of philanthropic support organizations in which it works. Those characteristics are: • • • • Shared decision making Global mindset Entrepreneurial, nimble Customer focused IV. Focal Points In response to the environmental analysis and acting on a recommendation from the Executive Committee, the Board identified eight focal points for the strategic plan. These reflect both member expectations for high performing membership associations in the 21st century, and what we knew about the needs of CMF's changing membership. Those points are as follows: 1. Diversity within the membership 2. Effective relationships with state government to address term-limits and the 2002 gubernatorial election TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 5 �REVISED 2/12/02 3. Promotion of principles and best practices across member types 4. Marketing of CMF and its programs, products, and services 5. Education programs that provide greater value than those offered by an increasing number of competitors 6. Services to non-members, both types and fees 7. Improved use of technology 8. Trustee development V. Getting Member Input: Data-Gathering The Board's Strategic Questions and Focal Points provided a solid framework for designing focus groups and a survey. With Board approval, CMF contracted with Formative Evaluation Research Associates (FERA) of Ann Arbor to design focus group protocols and the survey instrument that would measure member satisfaction and identify their new needs. A total of 291 individual members, representing close to 200 member foundations provided input through: Five focus groups involving 29 members from independent, community, family foundations, and corporate giving programs with assets of under $5 million to over $3 billion, with over one to 10 years experience in the field, and serving as paid and volunteer staff, trustees, next generation trustees, and one donor, and living in and outside of Michigan. • A Member Survey to which 263 individual members, representing close to 200 member foundations, provided direct input including extensive written comments covering a range of issues. VI. Findings Through the focus groups and Member Survey, we learned that: Overall, the majority of CMF members: • Get "excellent" or "good" value for their membership Endorse the current mission Need clarification of our purposes, particularly increase, promote, lead Expect to be CMF's highest priority, with emphasis on: o Every action being of benefit to members first o Knowing every member and their needs o Meeting every members' needs while recognizing the diversity of those o Providing equitable service across member types, asset levels, and location (strongest calls from corporate givers/family foundations) Endorse the value of principles and best practices, with emphasis on: o Education o Technical assistance o Dissemination of knowledge developed in Michigan and elsewhere Want improved communication, with a focus on: o Better promotion of CMF TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 6 �REVISED 2/12/02 o High quality web and print products o More ways for two-way communication between staff and members o More ways to access information Endorse networking as one of the most valuable purposes, with a focus on: o More issue-focused opportunities relevant for all member types o More opportunities for member-to-member exchange and peer education o Expanded regional and state-wide offerings Question the intermediary role, with a focus on: o The role of members in the decision making process o Costs/benefits to members and to CMF o Clarify of connections to mission and purposes Individual comments helped identify two tension points: 1. Increasing philanthropy in Michigan. What's the appropriate balance between encouraging and assisting in the creation of new family foundations vs. growing the assets of community foundations? 2. Membership growth. What are the costs/benefits of continuous growth of membership on the quality of the membership experience. TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 7 �REVISED 2/12/02 VII. SWOT: Ident ifying CMF St rengt hs, Weaknesses, Opportunit ies and Threats: Through a series of Executive Committee and Board meetings, the following analysis of CMF's strengths, weaknesses, opportunit ies, and threats was developed. STRENGTHS ( Have & Want) • • • • • • • • • • • • Michigan's strong base of organized philanthropy: collegial environment Statewide (not regional) focus Strong networks/strong member relationships (in-state and out-state) Working capital/endowments Membership growth High quality/premier perception Valued as an intermediary Ability to help create new foundat ions Agility/ entrepreneurship Recognized leadership Intellectual capital, expertise Knowledge of philanthropy worldwide WEAKNESSES ( Have & Don't Want) • • • • • • • OPPORTUNITIES (Don't Have & Want ) • • • • • • • • • More market share (members, service utilization) More members/more diverse members (next generation, people of color) New categories of membership Partnering with competitors Higher revenue generation via dues, fees for service, packaged product sales Equitable service for all member types and asset levels Effective marketing (including capacity, programs, resources) Expand CMF's role as a connector of constituents Regular self-assessment and planning (e.g. every 3 years) TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febll.doc Imbalance of influence and service based on member type and size Limited visibility/relationships with "new" philanthropists Increasing costs against static revenue Service culture without limitations Under-leveraged relationships with professional advisors Non-member demands increasing (both in-state and out-state) faster than infrastructure Pursuing multiple new opportunities stretches resources, threatens quality THREATS ( Don't Have & Don't Want) • • • • • • • Segregation of members by type via CMF program design, resulting in limited cross-pollination of ideas Inability to sustain " community of funders" in a high change environment State boundaries becoming irrelevant to members; providing barrier to growth Specialized associations and forprofits competing for member services and dollars Inadequate technology to achieve goals Infrastructure unable to keep pace with growth Diminished relationships within state government 8 �REVISED 2/12/02 VIII. Building CMF's Future: Stakeholder Perceptions, Mission, Purposes, Vision, & Values By March 2001, CMF had sufficient direction and knowledge to shift its focus from information gathering to future building. Guided by the Executive Committee, and assisted by Bob Tobin, staff presented recommendations for Stakeholder Perceptions and for four building blocks that would enable CMF to realize those Stakeholder perceptions in t he future. These elements were revised and approved by the Board at its May 11, 2001 meeting thus completing Phase I of the Strategic Planning process. They are as follows: Stakeholder Perceptions: • Member- "I wouldn't give up my CMF membership for anything." • Non- member Customer - " How can I become a member?" • Non- profit Associations (partners) - "We need you." • Trustee - "If I could be a trustee for only one organization, it would be CMF." • Staff - "This is a great place to work." • State government official - "CMF's opinion matters." • Media - "Call CMF." MISSION: Based on the membership's endorsement of the current mission, it was retained. The mission is To increase, enhance, and improve philanthropy in Michigan. PURPOSES: CMF's existing purpose statements were endorsed by members and clarified in response to the Member Survey findings. The following statements were developed and approved by the Board. External • Advocate: To represent Michigan philanthropic interests and concerns with state and federal officials. Educate: To support the professional growth of grantmakers by providing them with educational opportunities. • Increase: To grow philanthropy in Michigan by increasing the number of foundations, corporate giving programs, and community foundation donors. • Lead: To facilitate and support philanthropic responses to crit ical needs in the state. • Network: To provide the means for regular sharing of ideas and experiences among grantmakers and with grantseekers. • Promote: To help Michigan residents understand t he role of philanthropy. I nternal • Membership: To have a diverse group of Michigan grantmakers as members • Governance and Operations: To operate a model membership association . • VISION: On the basis of significant discussion, the Board of Trustees adopted a vision statement that it believed met the t ests of being achievable and inspirational. That is, to be the premier philanthropic association. TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 9 �REVISED 2/12/02 VALUES: Phase I of the Strategic Planning process provided an ideal opportunity to consider and articulate the core beliefs or vallues that define CMF's organizational culture. To make these explicit to all key stakeholders -- Board, members, and staff-the Board approved statements on Relationships, Servant-Leadership, Knowledge, and Excellence at its May 2001 meeting and asked that a statement on Diversity & Inclusion be added for action at its February 19, 2002 meeting. All five values appear below. o We Build Relationships to Last- with our members first- and with the philanthropic, non-profit, private, and public sectors, and the general public second through advocating and networking. Our goal is to know every member well, to represent every individual engaged in organized, Michigan-based philanthropy, and to include a diverse group of members in our thinking and planning. Our existing and future relationships with leaders in all sectors will bring added value to our members individually and collectively. o We Strive for Diversity & Inclusion -- in our staff, our membership, our Board and our activities. Our goal is to understand the range of philanthropic perspectives held and traditions followed by our members and to share those with gantmakers through our programs and publications. By diversity, we mean men and women of all cultures, ethnicities, lifestyles, ages, beliefs, backgrounds, skills and abilities, races, and sexual orientations. We encourage members to join with us by developing their own commitment to diversity and inclusion for the future of philanthropy in Michigan. o We Act as A Servant-Leader for organized philanthropy - by promoting and increasing philanthropy in Michigan. We serve by understanding and meeting members' individual needs. We lead by anticipating and then meeting members' collective needs. In this role, we espouse the highest ethical standards. Our success is measured by the health and vitality of organized philanthropy in Michigan and by the level of civil society in our state-- now and in the future. o We Have, Share, and Seek Knowledge - with members and in support of members -through education and networking. Our knowledge is personified by staffwith deep expertise in philanthropic principles and best practices worldwide -from the technical to the topical to the philosophical, and with skills in research and communications; by members who continually redefine best practices and represent expertise in a vast array of subjects and on a wide range of issues; and by partners and collaborators who enrich our understanding of the needs for and impact of organized philanthropy. o We Strive for Excellence in Everything We Do - through a strong infrastructure -clear goals, strong leadership, expert staff and effective management systems- that enable us to be nimble, entrepreneurial, and good stewards of our resources. These qualities allow us to provide our members with the best, most comprehensive services available to organized philanthropy anywhere. We believe to achieve excellence requires CMF as a whole-- each staff member and the Board of Trustees --to reflect, innovate, communicate, grow, and improve. Our goal is to have all members recognize CMF as the most valuable association to which they belong. TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 10 �REVISED 2/12/02 BUILDING THE FUTURE TOGETHER Phase II: May - December 2001 At its May 2001 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the Phase II planning process and additional funds for continued assistance from Bob Tobin of Williams Group. The Strategic Planning Committee was renamed the Long-Range Planning Committee and expanded to include the Chairs of the Phase II Committees and Task Forces and CMF management and directors, and charged with overseeing Phase II. Board Chair Dave Campbell was appointed Committee Chair. The Phase II goal was to develop promising strategies and tactics (policies, programs, services, and infrastructure needs) that would form t he action items of t he Strategic Plan and to do so using a highly inclusive, participatory process to ensure the best possible product, strengthen relationships, and build support for plan implementation. Seventy Trustees, members, and non-member volunteers -- including Bob Tobin who is a volunteer member of the Marketing-Communications Task Force -- constitute the Committees and Task Forces that have conducted this work in partnership with CMF staff. Those Committees and Task Forces and their chairs are as follows: • • • • • • Education & Networking: Chair, Elizabeth Sullivan Government Relations: Co-Chairs, Libby Maynard & David Kennedy Marketing-Communications: Chair, Neeta Delaney Membership: Chair, Gil Hudson Services: Chair, David Campbell Technology: Chair, Dick Rappleye w ith co-conveners Gavin Clabaugh (Matt • Foundation), Tim Dechant (Kellogg Foundation), Richard Lowell-Dunlap (Kresge Foundation) Finance Committee: Chair, Dick Rappleye The Phase II t imeline called for recommendations in two stages: o o Stage One: Fall 2001. Stage One recommendations were to include final recommendations for Education & Networking, Government Relations, Membership, and Services and preliminary recommendations for Marketing & Communications and Technology. Stage Two: Summer 2002. Stage Two recommendations are to include final recommendations for Marketing & Communications and Technology, areas that can only be completed once strategic objectives, strategies, and tactics are approved. To ensure that resulting recommendations were mutually supportive, CMF staff created a system to facilitate the flow of information from one group to another as summarized by the attached flow-chart. To assist the Phase II process: o A foundation document was prepared for Committee and Task Force chairs that provided: TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 11 �REVISED 2/12/02 • • • o The Phase II context -- purpose, scope of work, and the final elements of the strategic framework developed during Phase I Goals and objectives for each group The Phase II timeline and process Briefing papers that included a status report of CMF activities and capacities in each area, relevant data from Phase I, and an analysis of opportunities identified through the SWOT Analysis and by CMF's experienced staff. I.

Completing The Strategic Plan On January 22, 2002, the Executive Committee reviewed the Strategic Plan for 20022004 and the 2002-2003 Plan of Work and recommended they be presented to the Board for approval. These documents reflected addit ional work done by the Committees and Task Forces following the October 2, 2001 Board meeting, and recommendations made by the Long-Range Planning Committee at its' December 5, 2001 meeting. V. Completing the Circle: Responses to the Board's Original Strategic Questions The Strategic Planning process began with the Board's Strategic Questions for which answers can now be provided. 1. How can CMF best serve the evolving needs of an increasingly diverse, specialized membership? By gathering input from a broad spectrum of members, engaging in a highly inclusive and participatory planning process, and TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febl l.doc 14 �REVISED 2/12/02 making the strengthening of internal systems, capacities, and operations a priority in 2002-2003 to support improved and expanded programs, products, and services, CMF is positioned to successfully meet the evolving needs of its increasingly diverse, specialized membership. We intend to measure our progress in doing so: (a) quantitatively on an annual basis against t he Vision Metrics (see #7 below); and (b) qualitatively on a bi-annual basis through focus group and member surveys. CMF will make adjustments to the plan based on findings. 2. Is CMF a state, regional, national, or international organization? CMF is a Michigan-based organization that plays a role nationally and internationally in the service of its members. 3. What is CMF's desired relationship with state government? Our desired relationship with state government is one that facilitates: (a) easy access for members and leaders; (b) consideration of members' concerns in regards to laws and regulations affecting their work; and (c) partnerships that expand the impact of member supported initiatives within the State. 4. How does CMF define and manage its evolving role as an intermediary? CM F defines its role as an intermediary as a representative of a critical mass of members. It will manage its evolving role as an intermediary by: (a) fulfilling obligations to current projects; (b) working with state officials to gain support for continuation of the Tobacco Settlement Partnership; and (c) engaging in new intermediary projects supported and recommended by the Public Policy Committee, supported by the members as indicated by the Rapid Response System, and approved by the Board. 5. How does CMF resolve tensions between dual roles of membership service and philanthropic leader? We believe the perceived tension between CMF's roles of servant and leader are based on concerns voiced in questions 2 and 4 above. Through the 2002 Strategic Plan, we believe we have addressed this tension by committing to goals and strategies t hat clearly place members as our highest priority. 6. What is CMF's hierarchy of roles and initiatives relative to its mission? CMF's purposes (roles and initiatives) have been ranked in order of importance to members as determined through focus groups and the Member Survey and through t he Phase II planning process. They are: a. Networking b. Education c. Advocacy d. I ncrease e. Promote f . Lead 7. What metrics are most important to CMF as we look to the future? Per the recommendation of the Long-Range Planning Committee, CMF will work to TREDDER/Memo Board Strategic Plan Resolution 2002Febll.doc 15 �REVISED 2/12/02 achieve the following by the end of the third implementation year of the 2002 Strategic Plan. • • • • • • • • To have retained 90% of CMF's current members To add 105 new members To have 95% of members rate CMF membership as "valuable" (up from 92% in 2001) To have 60% of members participating in CMF networking and education programs To have 40% of members connected to public officials To have contributed to the creation of 70 new foundations, corporate giving programs, or community foundations funds To have quantitative data about philanthropy's impact on the quality of life in Michigan. To facilitate the leveraging of one-dollar of public or private funds for every dollar committed by a group of members for a public-private partnership that improves the quality of life for Michigan residents. VI. Fine Tuning Following the February 19, 2002 Board meeting, Stage Two recommendations will be developed by the Marketing-Communications and Technology Task Forces for action at the June 2002 Board meeting. The Long-Range Planning Committee will meet annually to review progress toward meeting the goals of this Plan.

June 4, 2002 Memo to: Members of the Board of Trustees From: Ann K. Irish, Chair, Nominating Committee Re: Proposed Bylaw Change on Election of Officers cc: David Campbell, Chainnan Rob Collier, President It is required by the Bylaws that the Nominating Committee recommend a slate of officers for the next year at the first Board Meeting of the fiscal year- taking place this year on June 14. After discussion with legal -counsel, Duane Tarnacki of Clark Hill PLC, we are reconm1ending that the Bylaws be changed to provide for the election of officers at the fall meeting of the Board, held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the members at which time the election of new Trustees is announced. This change would mean that the tenn of officers would now match the tem1s of election to the Board. New Trustees and new officers would begin their service as of the conclusion of the fall Board Meeting. New Trustees would continue to be invited as guests to the fall Board Meeting. This change would also result in a savings because new stationery would need to be printed once a year instead of twice as is now required. Therefore, the following two resolutions are presented: RESOLVED that Section 2, Article IV of the Bylaws be and it herby is amended to read in its entirety as follows: Section 2. Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting of the Board for the election/appointment of officers and the transaction of any other business shall be held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Members at a time and place as designated by the President in consultation with the Board Chair. In addition we are requesting your consideration of a motion to extend the current service of the officers - each of who has agreed to serve - through the fall Board Meeting, September 29, 2002. RESOLVED that the terms of the current officers of CMF: C. David Campbell, Chairman Julie F. Cummings, Vice Chair- Private Foundations Diana R. Sieger, Vice Chair- Community Foundations Richard K. Rappleye, Treasurer & Secretary, and RobertS. Collier , President be extended to September 29,2002. We look forward to discussing this proposed change with you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Program Committee, co-chaired by CMF Trustees Libby Maynard and Kari Schlachtenhaufen, is developing what promises to be an engaging and well-rounded program of session offerings. The Host Committee, led by Wes Mauer and Penny Barr, Trustees of the Mackinac Island Community Foundation, have developed an exciting array of local tours and events. Amelia and Daniel Musser Sr., owners of the Grand Hotel and active philanthropists on the Island, have agreed to serve as Honorary Co-Chairs. Status Report • As of June 3, 2002, 210 individuals have registered for the Annual Conference in response to the first targeted promotional mailing sent in March 2002 to CMF Trustees, Family Foundation members, and all other members. The mailing included targeted letter, conference and hotel registration forms, and, for family foundations, registration fonn s for the Family Foundation Retreat on September 27 and 28, 2002.

Adwn£1ng giving. June 4, 2002 Memo to: C. David Campbell, Chairman, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Diana Sieger, Vice Chair-Community Foundations Patty Reynolds, Trustee Rob Collier, President & Donnell Mersereau, Program Director Re: Proposed Energy Efficiency Partnership with Public Services Commission On behalf of the Community Foundations Committee, and in accordance with Board policy for considering potential projects with the State, this resolution is presented: RESOLVED that the Energy Efficiency Partnership (a copy of which is attached) be proposed to the Public Services Commission with a goal of distributing a minimum of $30 million from the Commission through the Council of Michigan Foundations to certified community foundations to establish endowed Energy Efficiency Funds. Background As a result of electric deregulation, the Public Services Commission is going to receive projected annual payments of $60 million over a five-year period for a total of $300 million. The Commission has created the Low-Income and Energy Assistance Fund toregrant these funds with 75% being granted for low-income energy assistance projects and 25% for energy efficiency projects. The Commission has expressed twice, through the public orders from their meetings, an interest in endowing some of these funds. Commission staff contacted CMF staff last fall to explore the feasibility of designing an endowment initiative similar to the Tobacco Settlement Partnership. CMF's legal counsel completed a legal review at the request of staff and determined that there are no reasons prohibiting these funds being used by community foundations for endowments. CMF staff have had three discussions with the Community Foundations Committee to develop the attached concept paper. While the paper proposes an $80 million commitment by the Commission, the Community Foundations Committee has determined that a minimum floor of $30 million should be used in the negotiations to insure that all participating community foundations receive enough funds to launch a viable endowment. In addition, the Committee has determined that those few commw1ity foundations which will receive more than $5 million be allowed to use the income from the endowment for progran1 related investments as well as grants. CMF would receive a fee to administer the Energy Efficiency Partnership. In addition, Rob Collier and CMF Trustee Patty Reynolds met with the Keep Michigan Warm Coalition to review this concept and ascertain their level of support. Members of the Coalition are now grantees of the new Low-Income and Energy Assistance Fund. The Coalition has endorsed the concept of some of the funds being endowed by the Commission and looks forward to reviewing this concept paper at a future date. The final attachment shows a $30 million distribution - the proposed minimum that would be accepted. 1 �The Energy Efficiency Partnership - A Legacy Opportunity The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) is pleased to submit this concept paper to the Michigan Public Service Commission, on behalf of the 65 certified community foundations serving all 83 counties; to create permanently endowed Energy Efficiency funds. A complete list of the community foundations and the areas each serve is included as Attachment A. The Energy Efficiency funds would be endowed over a four year period with a grant of $20 million annually- a total of $80 million- from the Low-Income and Energy Assistance Fund of the Commission. The community foundations would use 75% of the income generated by the new Energy Efficiency funds to make distributions to support low-income energy efficiency needs and the remaining 25% for distributions to support energy efficiency opportunities for projects assisting charitable nonprofit organizations. Each community foundation would fonn a local advisory committee to develop grantmaking priorities for the use of these funds as well as to recommend distributions to the local community foundation board of trustees. The board may make local distributions to cover the cost of a community summit on the subj ect of energy efficiency. In order to receive the funds, each community foundation would have to meet the following minimum criteria: • Be certified by the State for the purposes of donors receiving the tax credit • Submit the names of a four to seven person local advisory committee with representatives familiar with low-income and charitable non-profit energy efficiency issues. • • • Promote distributions from the fund and encourage gifts to the fund by residents and businesses Conduct regional or local community summits on the subject of energy efficiency at least every 3 years, Provide an annual report covering the above activities to CMF The funds would be distributed by CMF to the community foundations in a formula based on the population served by the community foundation with a minimum allocation of $10,000 to each conununity foundation annually before the formula is used. Attachment B reflects the impact of an annual distribution of $20 million to the 65 community foundations. Attachment C shows how the total request of $80 million would be distributed. This would enable rural community foundations to receive enough funds to make meaningful distributions from the endowment fund. If the endowed portion from this distribution is less than $100,000, the community foundation may charge up to 2% in annual administrative fees. If the endowed portion is $100,000 or more, an annual administrative fee of up to 1% may be charged. Foundations receiving more than $5 million in endowed funds would be able to make program related investments as well as grants. CMF will receive $100,000 per year to administer the reallocation of funds, provide technical assistance and evaluation. CMF will submit an annual report to the Public Service Commission on the activities of the 65 community foundation Energy Efficiency funds. 2 �The Energy Efficiency Partnership - A Legacy Opportunity M ichigan's 65 certified community foundations completed 2001 with approximately $1.5 billion in assets and annual grantmaking exceeding $50 million. With support from the Governor and legislature, Michigan is one of only three states that provide a tax credit to individuals, fami lies and business for gifts made to an endowment fund held by a community foundation. This tax credit provides an additional incentive for Michigan residents to financially support the Energy Efficiency fund at their local community foundation. CMF is a 29 year-old nonprofit membership association of more than 400 independent, family, community and corporate foundations and giving programs with a mission to increase and improve philanthropy in Michigan. CMF has a history ofpartnering with the State and community foundations that began in 1988 with distribution of Exxon Energy Settlement funds to community foundations. CMF is currently partnering with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority and 20 community foundations on the creation of Emergency Homelessness Preven6on Endowment Funds. Since 2000, CMF has partnered with the State on the distribution of interest income from the Tobacco Settlement to 65 certified community foundations for the purposes of supporting Healthy Youth and Healthy Seniors projects. More than $20 million has been distributed to date with half of the funds being endowed in local Healthy Youth and Healthy Senior Funds. This concept paper is modeled after the successful Tobacco Settlement Partnership - a na6onal model. Grantmaking from the 65 proposed endowed Energy Efficiency funds is projected to exceed $4 million annually by year six. Over a twenty-year period the proposed investment of $80 million by the Commission will grow to more than $145 million with grants exceeding $97 million-a significant legacy for the Public Service Commission.. Please refer to Attachment D for a table showing this growth. The long-term impact of The Energy Efficiency Partnership -A Legacy Opportunity will be an enduring source of support serving the energy efficiency needs of low-income residents and Michigan non-profit organizations. 3 �Michigan Community Foundations Albion Community Foundation Canton Community Foundation City of Albion and 5 surrounding townships (Calhoun County) 517-629-3349 Canton Township 734-398-5000 Capital Region Community Foundation Alger Regional Community Foundation Ingham, Clinton, and Eaton Counties 517-485-1630 Alger County 906-387-3900 Allegan County Community Foundation Central Montcalm Community Foundation Allegan County 616-6 73-8344 Part of Montcalm County 517-831-5261 Anchor Bay Community Foundation Charlevoix County Community Foundation New Baltimore 810-725-5126 Charlevoix County 231-536-2440 Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Ann Arbor area (Washtenaw County) 734-663-0401 Community Foundation for Delta County Baraga County Community Foundation Delta County 906-786-6654 Baraga County 906-353-7898 Community Foundation for Muskegon County Barry Community Foundation Muskegon, Mason and Oceana counties 231-722-4538 Barry County 616-945-0526 Community Foundation for Northeast Ml The Battle Creek Community Foundation Cheboygan , Presque Isle, Otsego, Montmorency, Alpena, Crawford, Oscoda, Alcona , Ogemaw, and Iasco counties 989-354-6881 Battle Creek area (Calhoun County) 616-962-2181 Bay Area Community Foundation Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan Bay County 989-893-4438 Berrien Community Foundation, Inc.

June 4, 2002 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Richard K. Rappleye Chair Audit & Finance Committee RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations 3-31-02 Financial Statements RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations' and Support Organizations' March 31, 2002 internal financial report, as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee, be approved. On June 4, 2002 the CMF Audit & Finance Committee met to review the attached internal financial statements for the year ending March 31 , 2002. As you review the attached statements it should be noted that CMF's Core Operations has ended the year with a surplus of $ 14,880, versus an anticipated $20,700 deficit that was reported at our last meeting. Through some cost cutting measures CMF experienced savings in the following areas that are described in more detail later in this memo. Salaries Computer Consulting Fees Publications $ 12,000 9,000 23,000 Balance Sheet The Core Operations for CMF has ended the year with a net asset balance of$580,630. Core Operations Note 1: Member Contributions $40,000 of the increase from the original budget amotmt of $705,000 is due to the increase in Kellogg' s contribution of$30,000 received in 2000-01 , to $70,000 in 2001-02. It should be noted the decreased contribution in 2000-01 was offset by an increase in Kellogg' s additional contribution. Overall members regular and additional contributions totaled $958,326 for 2001-02 versus a budget of $965,000. 1 �Note 2: Other Grants The variance from the projected amount of $48,000 is due to start up costs for the new Detroit office location that were charged directly to the special grants originally received to establish this office. The projected amount of $48,000 assumed we would transfer funds from special projects to CMF Core Operations to cover the relocation costs, versus charging those expenses directly to the grants received to establish this office. Note 3: Conference Income & Expenses The variance from budget is due to reduced attendance at the Annual Conference in November 2001, that resulted in a net loss of $38,366 (which is down from the estimated $50,000 - $70,000 loss report at the October board meeting). Management was able to reduce the deficit by instituting cost savings when it appeared the overall attendance would be down from previous years. Note 4: Publication Income The variance from budget is the result of the Michigan Foundation Directory sales falling off sooner than anticipated. While demand for the print version has decreased over the last few editions, the l ih Edition to-date has generated a profit of$45,061. Note 5: Investment Income The variance from budget is due to money market rates falling into the 2% range, which is 60% below last year's rates. Note 6: Salaries The favorable variance is due to the following: Downstairs receptionist position not filled Detroit office assistant not hired until January 2002 Staffwages charged to Dissemination CMF Admin other Special Projects Reduction of overtime & temp staff Core staff to support MCSC special project grants Assist. VP for Corp & Educational Services position vacated November 2001 37,200 5,700 3,100 9,600 4,700 5,400 32,900 Note 7: Telephone The continued effort to seek out discounts on long distance service has helped reduce phone costs over the past year. Also the increased communication with members through e-mail has probably resulted in some reductions in the telephone bills. 2 �Note 8: Equipment & Furniture The variance from budget is due to furniture and equipment purchased for the Detroit office being charged to the special project funding remaining for this office. Note 9: Computer Due to the delay in upgrading the iMIS software (membership & meeting database) last year, $21 ,000 in expenses that were budgeted for 2000-01 , have hit our current fiscal year. Year-to-date expenses are as follows: 4 Dell PCs Software annual support Consultant support Membership data base upgrade Software Upgrades Remote access hardware & software Mise - Internet Service $5,990 11 ,902 27,943 26,561 1,735 21 ,168 7,769 Note 10: Publications $7,000 of the variance from budget is due to printing 3 issues of the Michigan Scene versus 4 that were budgeted. At one time there was talk about expanding the number of issue to 4, but member input resulted in remaining at 3 issues annually. $8,000 of the variance is the result of cleaning up the data base with the latest software upgrade, which has resulted in printing fewer copies of the Michigan Scene. Endowment Funds Note 11: Other Grants- MCFYP Endowment The W .K. Kellogg Foundation approved the transfer of $ 1,055,505 of unused challenge grant dollars to establish the MCFYP Endowment Fund. These funds will be used to continue the technical assistance to the community foundation Youth Advisory Councils. Note 12: Professional Fees- Russell G. Mawby Fund The Russell G. Mawby Fund has been used to support strategic planning expenses. 3 �Note 13: Inter Fund Grants- DAJ Educational Fund $3,466 of the $ 10,000 available annually from the Kresge Foundation gift to the Fund for principles and best practices was used to subsidize the Grant Making Basics seminar in August 200 I. The remaining balance was used to bring Sandy Hughes, from Board Source, and Marc Owens from Caplin & Drysdale to the CMF Annual Conference in November 2001, dealing with principles and best practices for governance and advocacy. 4 �Council of Michigan Foundations & Supporting Organizations Consolidated Balance Sheet Marc h 31, 2002 II Supporting Organizations I CMF Core & Special Project s ASSETS Cash & Equivalents Investments Grants Receivable Due From Other Funds Property, Plant & Equipment- Net Other Assets Total Assets LIABILITIES Accounts Payable Other Liabilities Grants Payable Total Liabilities NET ASSETS (FUND BALANCE) Unrestricted & Temp Restrict.

Rappleye, Chaim1an, Audit & Finance Committee RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations March 31, 2002 and 200 1 Audit Report RESOLVED that the PricewaterhouseCoopers March 3 1, 2002 & 2001 Audit Report, as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee, be approved. Below are some briefhighlights from the enclosed audit report. Combined Balance Sheet $1,000,000 of the decrease from the prior year is due to a reduction in Tobacco funds received during 2001-02. $800,000 ofthe decrease is due to a reduction in operating funds held by MCFV, which has several grants that are starting to wind down. The remaining decrease is due to the expenditure of funds associated with special projects. Investments The increase from the prior year is due to a slight rebound of the US stock market, which resulted in an overall return of 4%-5% for the endowment funds for the year ended March 31, 2002. Accounts Payable The decrease from the prior year is due to the reductions in invoices outstanding at 3-31-02 for professional fees associated with the Enhanced Teclmical Assistance and Venture Products grants. Accrued Grants Payable The decrease from the prior year is due to T oibacco Settlement grants that were processed for payment at 3-31-01 and thus recorded as a grants payable. At 3-31-02 there were no Tobacco Settlement grant requests from community foundations outstanding. 9 �Net Assets Board Designated - this is the Community Foundation Endowment Fund that was established using the investment earnings from the Kellogg challenge grant funds. For accounting purposes this fund is considered unrestricted because the funding came from the interest earned on grant dollars and not from actual grant dollars received. Permanently Restricted - the increase is due to the challenge grant funds that were used to establish the MCFYP Endowment Fund. Combined Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets Revenue Grants Support Decreased from the prior year due to $13,061,078 in Tobacco Settlement received in 2000-01 ($4,000,000 was received in 2001-02) and the $1,290,000 grant awarded for WKKF IV in 200001. $500,000 of the decrease is due to a two-year grant from the C.S. Mott Foundation received by MAF in 2000-0 I. Investment Income The decrease from the prior year is due to a reduction in earnings on the Tobacco Settlement funds (an additional distribution was received from the State in 2000-01) and the decreased rate of return on operating funds due to the overall reduction in interest rates this past year. Net Unrealized and Realized Gains The increase from the prior year is due to the rebound of the U.S. stock market during the past year. Expenses The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in Tobacco Settlement grants awarded to community foundations in 2001-02 due to the reduced funding from the State. 10 �Conference Expenses were down due to a reduction in the number of attendees at the November 2001 Annual Conference. Fund Raising The decrease from the prior year is due to cost associated with consultants hired for the Learning to Give project in 2000-01. 11 �CMF Council of Michigan Founaations Serving grantmahers. Advancing giving. June 4, 2002 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Herbert (Ted) D. Doan Re: Investment Report for March 31, 2002 RESOLVED that the March 31,2002 Investment Report be accepted. On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment perforn1ance for the operating and permanent endowment funds. The information contained in this section was reviewed by the Investment Committee on May 21, 2002. The enclosed Investment Report has been broken down into three sections. Investment Performance Report The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation formula listed below using the Lipper median returns provided by Comerica on a quarterly basis. S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 International Equities Short Bond Bond Cash 40% 10% 6% 14% 15% 15% 0% After discussing the benchmarking issue with Bank One and Comerica, in November 2001, the Investment Committee felt that Lipper returns, which are based on active investment managers, would provide the most appropriate comparison. Lipper Large Cap Core Lipper Mid Cap Core Lipper Small Cap Core Lipper International Lipper Corporate Debt A Rated Fixed Income 1 �Asset Allocation Report The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that instructs the CMF Vice President of Finance to rebalance the endowment fund portfolios on a quarterly basis. To keep administrative time to a minimum CMF maintains one checking account to pay all endowment fund expenses. The negative cash balances are due to endowment fund expenditures from the CMF checking account, which are periodically reimbursed by transferring cash from the endowment funds back to CMF. Investment Performance Comparison Report One of the benchmarks the Investment Committee has been tracking is the Can1bridge Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations. Since the release of this quarterly report typically lags the end of our quarter by two to three months, the latest comparative numbers available are December 31 , 2001. The Committee has discussed at several meetings whether the Cambridge pool is an appropriate benchmark due to the 16.5% invested in alternative investments, which is a category not allowed by our current investment policy. The Committee has concluded that the Cambridge numbers provide investment options that may be worth considering in the future and looking at this on a quarterly basis is a good reminder. As part of its discussion of alternative investments, the Committee has reviewed a private placement equity product being offered by Vanguard. The Committee decided this was not an appropriate alternative for the CMF endowment funds at this time due to the $2 million minimum investment and the five-year required investment period. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. June 4, 2002 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan, and Members of the Board ofTmstees From: Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Co-Chairs, and Rob Collier Re: Government Relations Committee Report It has been a busy time in both Washington and Lansing on issues related to philanthropy since the Board last met. Washington S. 1924 - Charity Aid, Recovery, and Empowerment Act of 2002 This Bill contains the IRA Charitable Rollover, simplification of the excise tax on private foundations to one percent, and the charitable non-itemizer- three ofCMF's legislative goals. Rob Collier attended a rally held by Senators Santomm and Lieberman on April 26 to promote the Bill, which Finance Committee Chair Baucus has now indicated will be marked up in Committee in the first two weeks of June. Senator Levin at this point has not agreed to be a co-sponsor of the Bill due to the high cost of the non-itemizer and low return in new charitable dollars (estimated to be 12 cents on the dollar). Senator Stabenow has declined to serve as a co-sponsor of the Bill at this time due to the faith issues it still contains. Both Senators have indicated their strong support for both the IRA Charitable Rollover and simplification of the Excise Tax. Despite discussions about unbundling the Bill, the President's strong support for the NonItemizer makes it seem highly unlikely at this time. Bill White met with Dean Zerbe, staff on the Senate Finance Conunittee to Senator Grassley of Iowa, who still feels that simplification of the Excise Tax should be tied to a change in the required payout rate. The Council on Foundations is working with Iowans to determine if the Senator supports the view of his staff person and if the Bill will need to be opposed should a payout requirement be added in Committee. H.R. 3763 Corporate and Auditing: Accountability, Responsibility, and Transparency Act The House passed this Bill on April 24 and in a surprise move added an amendment for increased financial disclosure of relationships between a corporation and philanthropic organizations. There are three specific provisions that raise concem: any director, officer or immediate fami ly member would need to report their service on a non profit board to the SEC; any gift of $10,000 or more would have to be reported; and any material transaction (sponsorship with a cost of$10,000 or more) would need to be reported. One of CMF's legislative goals is to oppose inordinate restrictions on corporate philanthropy, 1 �so we have notified the Michigan delegation about our opposition to the provisions of this amendment. S. 2004, the companion Bill, that Senator Stabenow has co-sponsored, does not contain this amendment at this time. Rob Collier has been in touch with her staff to insure that it does not. In addition, Rob has been in contact with staff of Representative Mike Rogers to insure that the provisions are not added in Conference Committee, of which he is a member. A number of corporate members, such as Debbie Dingell from General Motors, have expressed their concern about these provisions that mirror to a lesser degree legislation that Congressman Gillmor from Ohio tried to pass three years ago. Lansing Tobacco Settlement Partnership Despite the State's fiscal problems, the Tobacco Settlement Partnership has been placed in the budget for the 2003 fiscal year at the level of $4 million, the same level as this year after a two million dollar reduction by the Governor's Executive Order. The Senate had agreed to restore the budgeted amount to $6 million after we informed the oversight Committee chaired by Shirley Johnson that the State would be receiving $9 million in unplanned tobacco settlement funds. However, with the deteriorating State condition, these funds have been used for other needs. Rob Collier testified before both House and Senate Committees and targeted community foundations assisted as well by contacting their representatives and sharing the Tobacco Settlement Partnersh ip brochure. Community Foundations Certification Process At the request of the Community Foundations Committee, CMF submitted a new definition of endowment for the Department of Treasury to use in their certification process for the tax credit. The new definition addresses the issue of total return as opposed to income, and was prepared by CMF legal counsel Duane Tarnacki and legal counsel for the Community FOlmdation for Southeastern Michigan, Andy Payne of Miller Canfield. It is vital for community foundation to use this new definition in this time of a down stock market. After five meetings and three letters, the Department has agreed to consider this definition in addition to the current definition in 2002, while their lawyers review the matter and approve formal language that would be added to the certification process for 2003. Bi-Partisan Philanthropy Caucus With the help of Public Affairs Associates, our part-time advocacy advisor, Senators Emerson (D-Flint) and Sikkema (R-Spring Lake) and Representatives Schulman (RBirmingham) and Thomas (D- Detroit) have agreed to co-chair the Philanthropy Caucus. While we had hoped to have the first meeting in May, a decision was made to postpone the first meeting of the Caucus until after the November election- the campaigning has already begun! 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. Date: May 31,2002 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Gil Hudson, Chairman, Membership Committee Re: Membership Report Cc: Rob Collier & Jeri Fischer This Membership Report is divided into three sections. Section One deals with the efforts to cleanup our membership rolls. Section Two deals with new members received since the Board last met in February and includes a resolution for your approval. Section Three deals with the Membership Campaign for 2002. Section One. Membership Clean-Up. CMF will be reducing its membership rolls by 67 effective June 14, 2002. This reduction is made up of three groups as noted below. There are three basic reasons those we have been able to contact have given for dropping their membership in CMF. • Not using services • Poor economy has reduced grants budget • Foundation closed or on hold Group A. Delinquents- Two Years Behind on their dues - 44 dropped. When the fiscal year started April1, 2001 we realized that 74 members were more than two years delinquent on their dues. Seven of these members were dropped from membership early in the year. Fourteen of these members decided to rejoin CMF and are considered active members. We are recommending that an additional 44 be dropped at this time. Each of these members has received at least three letters from CMF, the most recent one from Rob Collier at the end of March. In addition, they have been phoned at least three times by staff. Despite our best efforts, we have not been successful in contacting all of these members personally. We will continue to pursue these fom1er members to encourage their renewal by sending them the new membership brochure. • 44 Delinquent Members (More than two-years behind in dues.) E.

Members Unpaid in 2001- 17 dropped As part of this Membership Cleanup process, we have also focused our efforts on insuring that all active members are current with their dues. We ended the fiscal year on March 31, 2002 with 32 unpaid members. Each of these members has been contacted in the same manner as Group A. Five of these members have paid. The following 17 are being dropped in accordance with the new Board approved policy. Each of these organizations, where appropriate, will be contacted again with the new membership brochure. • 17 dropped unpaid members Doll-Loesel Foundation Doris J.

Group C. Community Foundation Affiliates - 6 dropped At the February Board Meeting, the Board approved a recommendation from the Community Foundations Committee and Membership Committee to drop community foundation affiliate funds that have not participated in the Kellogg Youth Challenge. The following six community foundation affiliate funds fit this criterion and will be dropped from independent membership status. It is important to note that they will be served through their lead community foundation's membership.

We are grateful to Trustees Dave Campbell, Libby Maynard, Lloyd Yeo, Pattie Reynolds, and Dick Rappleye, in addition to Membership Committee members Lois Shaevsky and John Voorhorst for their help in contacting these 19 foundations. Four foundations on the list declined membership due to their small size. We will have a verbal report on our progress with the other fifteen at the June Board Meeting. As a membership cultivation tool, CMF is now sending an infom1ation packet to newly incorporated nonprofit organizations in Michigan that have the word "foundation" in their name and that we can best detennine are not single purpose public charities. The monthly list comes from the Department of Consumer and Industry Affairs. These are organizations that have yet to obtain their 50 l (c)(3) status. We look forward to welcoming sorne of these organizations as members once they receive their status. We have now sent 51 of these informational packets. Finally, our membership goal for this year is 35. Attached is a new list of 83 target foundations with assets of a minimum of one million dollars based on the latest data available from the Internal Revenue Service. If every Trustee makes a personal contact with two on this list, we may be able to exceed our membership goal for the year. Based on experience, a personal contact is the most effective membership recruitment strategy. Staff is available to accompany you on a recruitment visit and can provide you with talking points and membership packets. Please review this list to select two foundations that you would be willing to contact. Complete and return the attached fonn to Jeri Fischer. We would be delighted to receive it from you at the June 14 Board Meeting. If you are unable to attend the Board Meeting, Jeri will contact you by June 19 to obtain your names. We look forward to reporting a successful membership campaign by the fall Board Meeting on September 29. 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. June 4, 2002 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier Re: President's Report There is much to share since we last met in February. It is impossible to capture all of the many activities, so here are highlights of both accomplishments and projects in the pipeline. I apologize in advance for the length but please keep in mind that this is a summary document. Trustee News Congratulations to Ranny Riecker for receiving an Honorary Degree from Albion College in May. Ranny was cited as being a model leader for philanthropy. Lloyd Yeo received the Delphi Service to Youth Leadership Award from the Boys and Girls Club of Saginaw County in March.

Hats off to Susan Howbert for her leadership with this event! 3 �September 29-0ctober I - Annual Conference Planning for our flagship event is well underway as demonstrated by the separate report in the Board book. I am particularly appreciative of Vicki Rosenberg's leadership in organizing the staff to tackle this ambitious activity. We are on schedule and already have more than 200 paid registrations! Please make sure that your registration is in and talk it up with colleagues. Information Services In response to member requests for high quality, web-based sample documents derived from global best practices, CMF is leading a national RAG collaboration to develop a sample documents product that will be shared by all RAGs. Samples will be collected for the following foundation constituencies, Family, Community, Corporate Foundations and Giving Programs, and Public Foundations. Samples will be organized along the five key competency areas: governance, finance, administration, grantmaking and communication. The primary audience for the sample documents will be RAG members and potential members. Samples will be evaluated by experts across the country for quality of content and consistency in format. A procedure for ongoing maintenance will be established. Gail Schaub is leading this effort. She is working toward previewing the first product at the 2002 CMF Annual Conference. Publications In response to member needs identified through the Strategic Planning process, Judy Carl is leading an effort to make CMF publications more useful and more effective. Judy and Gail Powers-Schaub have done a great job designing our new monthly e-News for members only. We received some very positive comments from members about this new resource! By the Board Meeting you will receive the spring 2002 issue of the redesigned Memo To Members, now produced every other month. Hats off to Judy Carl for her excellent work on giving the newsletter a new look and improved content! We welcome your comments and suggestions regarding both publications. As noted in the Family Philanthropy report, tlhe summer issue of The Family Philanthropist features how family foundations can respond to tragedies such as September 11. The Winter Issue of Asset Developments, the quarterly newsletter of the Michigan IDA Partnership, featured the first asset purchase by an IDA participant, a new homeowner in Newaygo County. You will soon be receiving a copy of the CMF-MNA sponsored Michigan in Brief report, produced by Public Sector Consultants. This reference tool on 40 key issues affecting the state is designed to help policy makers, including those running for election, 4 �better understand these issues as well as the role of the nonprofit sector. Support has been provided by several CMF members. Michigan Giving and Volunteering 2001 Highlights was released at the Volunteerism Super Conference in May. This is the second year we have collaborated with MNA and the Michigan Community Service Commission to produce this important publication. A copy is attached. The May 2002 issue of Michigan Fonvard, the monthly magazine of the State Chamber of Commerce, features several articles on Public and Private Sector Partnerships with foundations, corporate grantmakers and community foundations. We were pleased that the Chamber wanted to continue this spring focus on philanthropy and congratulate Susan Howbert for her leadership on this issue. This is a great way of focusing small business people in the state on the benefits of charitable giving. A copy is attached . The summer issue of The Michigan Scene is also being redesigned and, for the first time, will include CMF's Annual Report as an insert. We can save funds and get better distribution by including the Report as an insert. Partnerships & Dissemination Great Lakes Community Foundations Environmental Collaborative - Phase III With funding from the Great Lakes Protection Fund, CMF continues to be the fiscal agent for this unique Basin-wide collaborative. The Advisory Committee of environmental experts in the Great Lakes Basin recommended 17 awards to shoreline community foundations with five in Michigan: Holland/Zeeland, Manistee, Petoskey/Harbor Springs, Mackinac Island, and Huron County Community Foundation Volunteerism Super Conference, April29 & 30 Jeri Fischer did a great job of serving as CMF's representative to the planning Committee for this Conference and helping to organize five sessions. Barb Dryer, our grants manager, presented on the Tobacco Settlement Partnership. More than 500 attended with growing participation by foundations and corporate grantmakers. Michigan IDA Partnership (MIDAP) CMF has received notice from the State that due to its financial problems, two of the promised five million dollars in support will need to be used for other projects. While this is not good news, the evaluation report from the first year confinns that this is the largest and fastest growing IDA Partnership in the nation. We will have copies of the Evaluation Report for you at the Board Meeting. With 987 accounts awarded in the first 18 months and more than 300 families now saving thanks to the work of the 51 program sites funded throughout the state, MIDAP is exceeding all expectations. The 2002 International IDA Learning Conference was held in Windsor, Ontario this spring, and Eric Muschler our Executive Director was a speaker. Also enclosed are cards of the Ambassador Bridge made by an IDA participant in Pontiac just for the Conference. 5 �Youth as Grantmakers A team of YACers from Grand Rapids conducted a workshop in March for the new statewide youth philanthropy program in Arkansas. A team ofYAC alums from Grand Haven and Grand Rapids conducted a half-day seminar in April on grantmaking in Washington for the two new YACs of the Community Foundation of the Capitol Region. Karin Tice, evaluator for the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project, represented us at a meeting in April with Senator Clinton and 10 New York Funders to launch a statewide youth philanthropy effort in New York. I continued to assist the Coalition of Community Foundations for Youth in development with their national publication on Best Practices for Youth Philanthropy due out this summer. In May, I spoke at the University of Southern California's annual Public Policy Seminar on how CMF's involvement in youth philanthropy had contributed to the tax credit, tobacco settlement partnership, and youth on boards bill. Council on Foundations Donnell Mersereau's leadership in the community foundation field is being demonstrated in her work with the National Marketing Action Team of COF's Community Foundation's Leadership Team on the distribution plan of new products from the Community Foundations R & D Incubator, a project of our supporting organization, MCFV. We hope to have the Donor-Advised Funds Communications Portfolio distributed this summ er. Donnell and the Williams Group are hosting four Market Readiness Conference calls this summer as an extension of the Incubator's efforts to help community foundations become "Marketing Machines". Vicki Rosenberg is working with COP Governance staff on the design for a pilot seminar on governance that will be offered in Michigan next March 2003. In addition, Vicki has been asked to advise the Ford Foundation staff on how RAGs can use their GrantCraft educational resources. Forum ofRAGs While Dave Lindberg stepped down as Treasurer for the Forum Board in January, he and several other Directors are playing an active role in Forum Committees. Gail Schaub will be representing CMF at the Forum's staff conference this month and has done a great job leading Third Thursday Conference Calls for RAG staff from throughout the country. Vicki Rosenberg will be leading a Third Thursday Call on the subject of Earned Revenue this summer. I will be attending the CEO Retreat at the end of July to lead a discussion on how RAGs need to use common message statements in our marketing efforts. 6 �International In March I attended the first meeting of the International Network for Strategic Philanthropy in Heidelburg as a guest of the Bertelesmann Foundation. There is growing recognition that philanthropy in other countries like Germany and France must put standards in place or the government will step in with regulations, so there is great interest in our work with community foundation standards in Michigan. While there I talked with their staff about funding for the Learning to Give textbook. Also in March, Donnell Mersereau continued her work as Chair of the Governance Committee for the Transatlantic Community Foundation Network- also supported by the Bertelsmann Foundation. Finally, on behalf of CMF I received the "Fri,e nds of Evaluation Award" from the Michigan Association for Evaluation at their annual May Conference. CMF continues to assist this organization, which involves a number of our members, by acting as fiscal agent for specific grants. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

David Campbell, Chairman FR: Vicki Rosenberg RE: CMF 2002-2005 Strategic Plan Cc: Robert Collier David Lindberg Introduction At its February 2002 meeting, the CMF Board approved the 2002-2005 Strategic Plan. The plan calls for the achievement of several activities designed to produce expanded and improved service to CMF members. As anticipated in Phase I ofthe strategic planning process, effective and efficient delivery of membership services in the 21 st century demands a sound technology infrastructure (hardware, software, trained staff and consultants). To address this reality, the Board approved the creation of a Technology Task Force. The Task Force will present its recommendation for a three-year CMF technology plan to the Board at its June 14, 2002 meeting. An Executive Summary of the plan and a Process Chart follow this memo. Technology Task Force The 11-member Technology Task Force represents all foundation types and levels of technology usage. It is chaired by CMF Trustee Dick Rappleye and served by three coconveners with extensive knowledge of technology and its application within foundations. They are: • • • Gavin Clabaugh, Vice President, C.S. Mort Foundation Tim Dechant, Director of Technology, W.K. Kellogg Foundation Richard Lowell Dunlap, Program Officer - Information Systems, The Kresge Foundation. Over the past nine months, the Task Force has provided member perspectives and strong leadership for: • An assessment of CMF's current technology capacity; • A vision for how technology can best enhance member services; and • A technology plan that will enable CMF to accomplish its 2002-2005 strategic goals. At its April meeting, the Task Force endorsed the hiring oflnfonnation Technology Pattners (ITP) to work with staff on the assessment, vision and plan. Through its work �with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, ITP has gained an appreciable understanding of foundations and their needs. ITP President, Mike Thompson, has been the lead consultant on this work. CMF is grateful to Dick Rappleye, the co-conveners, and Task Force members for their leadership, knowledge, support, and time. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. September 18, 2002 TO: David Campbell, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees FR: Kari Schlachtenhaufen and Libby Maynard, Co-Chairs Program Committee Vicki Rosenberg, Chief Operating Officer RE: 30th Annual Conference Community & The Human Spirit: Connecting & Renewing September 29-0ctober 1, 2002, Mackinac Island cc: Robert Collier David Lindberg We look forward to having you with us for the 30th Annual Conference, Community & The Human Spirit: Connecting & Renewing, starting Sunday at 5:00p.m. with the Opening Reception at the Grand Hotel. We are extremely grateful to the members of the Program Committee and Host Committee, Mary Beth Daniels of the Grand Hotel, and the CMF staff. Everyone has put in 110% to make this conference a success! We are pleased to offer this status report on the Conference. Conference Design The 2002 Annual Conference supports the objectives of the Strategic Plan through: • Program. The Program Committee decided to replace the traditional "foundation type" tracks with tracks on: o the 5 core educational competencies of grantmaking, governance, administration, finance, and communication; o the 5 issues to which the Public Policy Committee has committed itself-Safety Net/Economic self-sufficiency; T ANF Reauthorization; Early Childhood/K-12; Health Care Access; and Land Use/Urban Sprawl. This new approach also supports networking across foundation types. • CMF Membership Promotion. New strategies are being introduced at this year's conference to support our member retention and recruitment goals. They include: o An expanded Membership Booth i.n Resource Central; o Increased marketing of individual new products, programs, and services; o The first New Member/New Participant reception 1 �o • • Encouraging and assisting staff, Trustees, and members of the Membership and Program Committee to welcome new members and new participants who will be identified by special name tags and badges. This supports our value related to relationships. We will have a list ofboth new and potential members to share with you at the Board Meeting. Adding the "Dr. Is In" session to provide one-on-one assistance. Conducting pre-conference customer service training for staff and developing a system for collecting anecdotal comments from members during the conference. These comments, along with conference evaluations, will assist us in being responsive to member needs. Registration Over the past seven months, CMF has implemented a multi-strategy promotional plan to achieve our goal of 475 full and 50 partial registrants. These estimates assumed a static economy. The continued economic downturn, however, has affected registrations, most noticeably with community foundation registrations down 30%. As of September 17, 2002, we have 418 full and 38 partial registrations with more arriving daily. We will have a verbal update for you at the Board Meeting. Sponsors We are grateful to 27 foundations and corporations for providing more than $110,000 in direct contributions to support sessions, speakers, refreshment breaks, receptions, and malt::riab. Our lhank~ also go lo lht:: many CMF members who art: generously underwriting the travel expenses of speakers for the sessions they have contributed to developing. Each sponsor is acknowledged in the Conference Program and in various signs displayed throughout the Grand Hotel. Exhibitors Our thanks as well to the ten exhibitors for their support! They are also acknowledged on the inside cover of the Conference Program. There is the potential to expand this service to members when we return to the Amway Grand next year. 2003 Conference The CMF staff will be meeting next month to refine strategies for generating more revenue from the 31st Annual Conference in Grand Rapids. We believe that with new approaches to sponsorships, exhibitors, and advertising in the conference program, the conference can become a more significant source of income. Finally, there is still time to sign up for the two simulation sessions on Aging and Poverty as well as the Leadership session for experienced grantmakers on Monday afternoon. Please ask at the Conference Registration Desk! 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

S:\ Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2002-03\9.29.02 Meeting Materials\TreasurersRprt.doc �Member Services During the 2002-03 budget process, management presented a plan to combine the Community Foundation Endowment Fund activity with CMF Core Operations starting in 2002-03, to give the Board a clearer picture of the ongoing services being provided to CMF members. The combination of these two statements is represented in the enclosed Member Services statement. Note 1: Member & Additional Member Contributions Member contributions continue to remain strong through the month of August, with payments coming in at expected levels. $30,000 of the Additional Member Contribution represents the contribution from the C.S. Mott Foundation. Note 2: Other Grants The budgeted amount for 2002-03 represents the administrative fund s from the latest Tobacco Settlement grant that will be used to support the Detroit office. $65,000 was transferred to the Member Services budget in August 2002. Note 3: Conference Income & Expenses Attendance for the Annual Conference looks strong with the Grand Hotel near capacity at last count. Based on the latest financial projections management expects to break even on the conference. Note 4: Computer The technology portion of the strategic plan that was recently unveiled at the June 2002 Board meeting continues making good progress. Management has met several times over the summ er with the technology consultants, ITP, to lay out a detailed plan of action, with the bulk of the work to start shortly after the Annual Conference. Under the Executive Committee minutes in this booklet is a description of the plan to fund this work. Note 5: Conference & Meetings The favorable variance is due to the timing of invoices coming in for the Annual Conference. Note 6: Investment Income Overall, the earnings on the endowment funds were budgeted at 0% for 2002-03. They are invested 70% in equities and 30% in fixed income.

Advancing giving. Date: September 20, 2002 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Herbert (Ted) D. Doan Re: CMF 6-30-02 Investment Report Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the June 30, 2002 Investment Report. On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meets to review the investment performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds. The information contained in this section was reviewed by the Investment Committee on August 29, 2002. The enclosed Investment Report has been broken down into three sections. Investment Performance Report The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula listed below using the Lipper median returns provided by Comerica on a quarterly basis. S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 International Equities Short Bond Bond Cash 40% 10% 6% 14% 15% 15% 0% The Lipper returns are based on the following asset classes. Lipper Large Cap Core Lipper Mid Cap Core Lipper Small Cap Core Lipper International Lipper Corporate Debt A Rated Fixed Income S:\ Boards and Commiltees\CMF\Board\2002-03\9.29.02 Meeting Materials\lnvestment.doc �Asset Allocation Report The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that instructs the CMF V.P. ofFinance to rebalance the endowment fund portfolios on a quarterly basis. To keep administrative time to a minimwn CMF maintains one checking account to pay all endowment fund expenses. The negative cash balances are due to endowment fund expenditures from the CMF checking account, which are periodically reimbursed by transferring cash from the endowment funds back to the CMF general checking account. Investment Performance Comparison Report One of the benchmarks the Investment Committee has been tracking over the last couple of years is the Cambridge Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations. Since the release of this quarterly report typically lags the end of our quarter by two to three months, the latest comparative numbers available are March 31, 2002. In light of the continued decline of the U.S. Stock market the committee continues to explore other investment alternatives. At the November 2002 Investment Committee meeting Bank One and Comerica will be presenting alternatives to the current asset allocation structure for the committee's review.

Advancing giving. September 20, 2002 Memo to: David Campbell, Chair, and Members ofthe Board of Trustees From: Libby Maynard & David Kennedy, Co-Chairs Rob Collier, President Re: Government Relations Committee Report The Committee met on August 28 for its annual conference call to review the Legislative Goals Statement and consider new goals. Five Committee members were on the call and three members submitted comments on the Statement by email. The following resolution is presented for your consideration and approval. RESOLVED that the Legislative Goals Statement be adopted for 2002 with the changes as duly noted in the text- a copy of which is attached - and with the addition of Goal14 to the National Legislative Issues and Goal 5 to the State Legislative Issues. Background I. New Legislative Goals Mr. Collier presented two new goals for consideration. There was agreement by the Committee that the new Goal 5 for State Legislative Issues be adopted as presented below. Proposed Goal 5 - State Legislative Issues Goal: To monitor administration of the pennanent community foundation tax credit and its relationship to other existing and proposed tax credits. Explanation: As a result of term limits CMF staff are continually working with legislators to explain the tax credit and the role of community foundations. There is an on-going effort by other nonprofit sector groups such as hospitals, schools and community development corporations to obtain targeted tax credits without acknowledgement of the potential to meet their needs through the existing community foundation tax credit. Research is underway at the University of Michigan to detennine the role of tax credits in stimulating giving and to investigate the hypothesis that too many tax credit options will detract from giving. �Government Relations Agenda August 22, 2002 Page 2 In addition the certification process with the Department of Treasury needs to be monitored. For example, this year the definition of endowment in the community foundation tax credit certification has been changed at the recommendation of CMF's Community foundations Committee to fit national standards for community foundations as adopted by the Council on Foundations. The Committee decided that the proposed Goal 14 for national legislative issues be amended with either the deletion of the reference to civil society or language added. Therefore, Goal 14 is being presented by staff, as amended in this document without Committee approval at this time. We are still recommending it for your consideration and action. Proposed Goal 14 for National Legislative Issues Goal: To support efforts to incorporate philanthropy as an objective of legislation providing financial resources to character education and other K-12 educational initiatives. Explanation: CMF was successful in 2002 through the Learning to Give initiative in having the word "giving" added to the definition of character education in the Education Bill signed by President Bush. Learning to Give is now working with national partners and universities to ensure that giving is incorporated in new character education programs funded by the Department of Education. Although philanthropy enjoys bi-partisan support in Congress, ongoing educational effort is needed to insure that federal resources eventually support programs implementing the goals of Learning to Give. 11. Legislative Goals Statement The Committee approved presentation ofthe enclosed document for your consideration and approval. Changes made to update action on certain goals are in bold. III. Washington and Lansing Update We need to encourage all members to join in the February visit to the Hill. 2003 is shaping up as a challenging year for philanthropy. Here are just some of the reasons why. A major victory in Congress was passing of the Corporate and Accounting: Accountability and Transparency Act without the LaFalce Amendment passed by the House that would have impacted corporate philanthropy. This issue is expected to resurface in 2003 with new proposed legislation to regulate corporate giving. �Government Relations Agenda August 22, 2002 Page 3 The CARE Act, that includes the IRA Charitable rollover provision, is still stuck in the Senate and unlikely to see action in 2002 due to the backlog of homeland security issues. CMF will work with the Council on Foundations to support a separate bill in 2003 just for the IRA Charitable Rollover. Dot Ridings reported that she expects hearings in 2003, due in part to both the ENRON issues and the release of a study expected this fall by Georgetown University on compensation abuse by private foundations. D espite the down market, the issue of the payout rate of 5% will likely be considered as well in an effort to exclude administrative expenses from the payout calculation. In Lansing, we hope to have the first meeting of the Bi-Partisan Philanthropy Caucus in early December or January, depending on the decision to hold a lame duck session. According to political pundit, Bill Ballenger, who wi ll be speaking at the Annual Conference, this election is causing the biggest turnover in state government in 60 plus years. The Committee will work with staff on a series of educational activities for new legislators and their staff in early 2003. Finally, as you know the courts have decided to allow the proposed constitutional amendment concerning the Tobacco Settlement to be placed on the November ballot. In keeping with policy, management has informed the members that CMF is not taking a position on this ballot issue. CMF is mentioned in the language as the potential recipient of2% of the Tobacco Settlement Funds. The language does not include reference to the regranting of these funds to 65 certified community foundations. While we appreciate the recognition of this successful partnership with the State, we were not informed of the decision to include us on the ballot, and there is no guarantee that the allocation will equal the amount currently allocated by the legislature. �CMF Council of Michigan Founcfations Serving grantmakers.

I. PHILANTHROPY IN MICHIGAN AND AMERICA Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. Today, with a slowing in the economy, 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 more can and should be done to encourage the creation and growth of new foundations and corporate giving programs, as well as to reduce the operating regulatory burdens on existing 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 existing foundations. It has become apparent that a number of Intemal Revenue Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive on the grantmaking effectiveness of Michigan's more than 2,000 foundations, as well as the more than 56,000 other foundations in communities across the United States. If foundations and corporations are to expand their support of important social needs and programs, the Council of Michigan Foundations must work actively to infom1 the general public, as well as state and federal legislators, and other policymakers on these important issues. In 1977, the Members ofCMF directed the Board ofTrustees to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy and include communication with public policymakers. A Government Relations Committee was established to implement the program and has continued to survey CMF Members on their legislative interests and priorities on a timely basis. Revisions 2002 Page I �CMF has worked with foundation and corporate M embers, the Council on Foundations, other regional associations of grantmakers and the Forum of 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-five goals have been accomplished: II. NATIONAL GOALS • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Reduction of mandatory pay-out requirement for private foundations 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 tem1inated Fair regulations on private foundation lobbying issued Full deductibility of gifts to private foundations of publicly-traded stock made pem1anent Gain portion of gifts of appreciated property not subject to the alternative minimum tax Affidavit process for simplifying private foundations grants to non-U.S. Charities instituted Private & community foundations allowed to own S-Corporation stock Protected charitable gift annuities as attractive giving vehicle for donors Premiums paid for D&O liability insurance not treated as compensation for trustees 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 pennitted 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 Legislation passed eliminating Charitable Split Dollar Insurance Plans Estate tax phased out between 2002 and 2010 III.

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.) A CMF sponsored study, completed in May 2000, by Cambridge Associates, Inc., ofthe actual performance of a group of Michigan endowed private foundations confinns the position of maintaining the payout rate at no more than 5 percent. There continues to be an effort led by the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy and the National Network of Grantmakers to have legislation introduced that would increase the required payout to 61Yo. 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: Individual taxpayers may deduct the full fair market value of a gift to a private foundation of appreciated property in the form ofpublicly-traded stock, ifthe gift is less than 10 percent of the outstanding stock of the company. However, in other cases, such as privately held stock, the amount of deduction continues to be limited to the donor' s cost or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The same gift to a public charity entitles the taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction. 4. Goal: Repeal the excise tax on private fow1dations. Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from two to one 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. Revisions 2002 Page 3 �Private foundations are the only 501(c)(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax. The current formula is difficult to administer and can limit charitable giving. Simplification to a flat one percent is an acceptable intermediate step and is in H.R.7 passed in the summer of 2001 . A similar provision was originally included in S.B. 1924, the CAR E Act of 2002, but has been dropped at the r equest of the Council on Foundations due to efforts to tie it to the increase in the payout r ate. 5. Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and repeal the three percent floor on itemized deductions. E xplanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, Congress approved a three percent floor in deductions. This floor was scheduled to expire at the end of 1995, but was made pem1anent effective in 1993. 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. E xpla nation : 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 fo llowing 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. Goa l: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. Explan ation: Most taxpayers no longer fi le the long tax fonn that permits itemized deductions; instead they file the short form that 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, but the deduction expired January 1, 1987. In July 2001 the House passed H.R. 7 with support from the President that includes a phased in deduction over ten years from $25 to $100. Revisions 2002 Page 4 �The C.A.R.E. Act, S.B. 1924, introduced by Senators Lieberman and Santorum in 2002, includes a similar modest introduction of a deduction. Despite bipartisan support and the support of the President, the Bill is unlikely to be passed by the Senate because research indicates that there will only be .15 cents in new giving generated as a result of each dollar lost to the federal government by having the proposed deduction. 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: Continuous monitoring is essential to oppose unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory reporting burdens on both foundations and their grantees. 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. However, income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Private foundations should be 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: Pennit 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, if the disbursement is made directly to either a qualified charity or a qualifying deferred giving plan. It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many charitable organizations, including community foundations. H.R. 7, passed by the House in July 2001, includes the IRA Rollover at age 70 1/2. The C.A.R.E. Act, includes the IRA Rollover at age 59 1/2, and has bipartisan support as well as the President's support. However, the Bill is unlikely to advance in this session due to the high cost of the other items attached such as the Charitable Nonltemizer. 12. Goal: Avoid excessive corporate giving regulations. Explanation: CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation, which would require costly administration. The House version of the Corporate and Accounting: Accountability and Transparency Act included three reporting provisions (all Board service by officers, directors, and significant family members; all gifts of $10,000 or more; all transactions valued at $10,000 or more) that would have a negative impact on corporate philanthropy. Working with the Council on Revisions 2002 Page 5 �Foundations, CMF was successful in ensuring that this provision was not included in the Senate version, the version signed into law in the summer of 2002 by the President. 13. Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 2001 on creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. Explanation: The "Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001" passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President in June 2001, phases out the Estate Tax between 2002 and 20 I 0. Full repeal however is only in effect for the year 2010. The estate tax then reverts, unless new legislation is passed, to the 2000 tax code status. While it is the position of CMF to not support or oppose legislation that has a broad impact beyond the charitable field, it is necessary to monitor the impact on philanthropy of this legislation and future changes that might be made in the estate tax. V. STATE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES 1. Goal: Monitor proposed changes to tax policy concerning the exemptions provided to non-profit organizations. Explanation: Legislation has been proposed in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Texas, which threatens the property tax exemption of charitable organizations. CMF, working with pattners 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 that a tax deduction mirroring the federal tax code does motivate additional gifts by individuals to charities. While the introduction of legislation in tough economic times is unlikely, the Michigan Nonprofit Association is taking the lead in promoting this issue with the legislature. 3. Goal: Monitor legislation necessary for a portion of the state tobacco settlement funds to be annually granted to CMF for distribution to certified Michigan community foundations for the establishment of Heal thy Youth & Healthy Senior 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% ofthe industry, is $8.3 billion. The master settlement agreement does not specify how states may spend their settlement payments. Since 2001, CMF has distributed more that $20 million of interest earned on the tobacco settlement funds not used for the Merit Scholarship Program and earmarked annually through the Department of Career Development budget. Annual advocacy is required to insure that the Legislature understands the valuable role community foundations play in this distribution and continues the Revisions 2002 Page 6 �annual budgeting aUocation. At this time the State's 2003 budget includes an aUocation of $3 million. 4. Goal: Support legislation to simplify the Charitable Solicitations Act. Explanation: Community foundations are required, as well as other charitable nonprofits, to file for an ammal solicitation license. The licensing, enforcement, and appeal processes are not considered user friendly by nonprofits and do not reflect the changing cost in fundraising. The Michigan Nonprofit Association is leading the effort on this legislation and expects it to be introduced in 2003.

Mawby, C. David Campbell, Robert S. Collier, Julie F. Cummings, Dorothy A. Johnson, Dr. Kathy Agard, Re: Fall 2002 Learning to Give Update Chair, Learning to Give Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member Executive Director The Learning to Give (LTG) initiative enjoyed a busy summer of teacher professional development, the writing of new units, LTG presentations, and completion of the second evaluation cycle. The Steering Committee meets again in November. This Progress Report is presented in seven sections with Financial Support first because it is a critical issue as we go forward. I. Financial Support Financial Projections Without further foundation support, LTG is projected to expend all of its current funds by June 2003. Due to contractual requirements, plans for closure of the program will need to begin in February if further support is not secured. Federal Funds A decision on the federal Character Education grant is expected by early October. There has been no further word regarding access to Character Education technical assistance funds or for funding LTG as a national demonstration. The Corporation for National Service bill for increased funding (with leadership from Representative Peter Hoekstra), is languishing in Congress. If passed, LTG could benefit from the availability of new funds. Foundation Support CMF's President and LTG's Executive Director met with both the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and The Lilly Endowment during August. The current Kellogg grant ends December 31, 2002. The Lilly Endowment discussion covered 2001-2003 grant changes because funding from The Atlantic Philanthropies and the Ford Foundation was not obtained. �The Lilly Endowment Program Officer approved the needed changes to their $1 million grant and suggested that LTG submit a request for additional funding based on the Initiative's successful history. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation meetings provided insight for L TG's pending grant request that will include a formal business plan, a restatement of the case and demand for K-12 philanthropy education, and evaluation results to date. II . Content and Lesson Progress National Content Advisory Committee The National Content Advisory Committee, sponsored by The Fetzer Institute, will meet for the second time at the end of October. Dr. Robert Bremner from Ohio State University has retired from the committee as a result of illness, and Susan Wisely, former Program Officer from the Lilly Endowment, has joined the Committee. Units and Lessons Over 130 new lessons (across 33 units at the four grade levels) have been submitted from the 2002 Michigan Summer Institute, Ohio Summer Institute, Michigan Performing Arts Seminar (Voluntary Action for the Common Good through the Arts), and our ten summer writers/Teacher Consultants. These lessons will go into the editing process and be available for placement on the Learning to Give Web site by Spring, 2003. Each of the 321 Learning to Give philanthropy benchmarks is now available in at least one sample lesson plan. Field-Testing Field-testing evaluations for school year 2001-2002 are being analyzed and the units still requiring field-testing have been sent to the volunteer field-test teachers. Just over 51% of the current 504 lessons on the Web site have completed the field-test phase. Two changes have been made in the field-testing process. First, the majority of the field-testing is now being completed in the thirty-three pilot schools. This has greatly improved the lesson evaluation "return rate." Second, the number of field-tests per lesson has recently been reduced from five to three. Barring any extremely negative response, three independent written evaluations of the lessons are sufficient to judge the usefulness and quality of a lesson. These changes do not preclude teachers volunteering to field test Learning to Give lessons. In fact, LTG has experienced a large increase (190) in teachers volunteering to field-test via the Web site's home page application form which has recently added a feature allowing teachers to review the "Unit Purpose" and "key words" to choose the two units that would be most applicable in their specific classroom. Learning to Give Update Page 3 �Pilot Schools The thirty-three pilot schools began teaching their second (and in one case third) year of LTG as of the 2002-2003 school year this fall. During the next three months, LTG staff will be meeting with teachers in each of the schools to help them launch their philanthropy teaching and to assist them in any way. One of the pilot school districts, Romulus Public Schools, has decided to formally integrate LTG lessons into their K-6 required Social Studies core curriculum. Ill. Teacher Profession a I Development Summer Institutes for Teachers Summer institutes for new Teacher-Consultants were held: Michigan District Ohio Michigan June 24-27, 2002 Muskegon Area Intermediate June 19-21, 2002 July 29-August 3 Case Western Reserve University Philanthropy Through the Arts Muskegon Community College School A one-day workshop to introduce LTG to Tampa, Florida schools, sponsored by the local chapter of the Association of Fund-Raising Professionals, was presented in June with a second meeting in September to pursue integration of LTG into a multi-state Lutheran Schools system. A one-day workshop to introduce LTG to Appleton, Wisconsin schools, sponsored by the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region and the Milke Family Foundation, was presented in July. LTG staff will return to discuss the K-12 integration of LTG in the Appleton schools during 20022003 and a possible Wisconsin summer institute for teachers during the summer of 2003. Ferris State University Masters Degree of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a Concentration in Philanthropic Studies LTG and Ferris State University successfully launched the new 36-hour Masters Degree in Education with a concentration in philanthropic studies in the first Grand Rapids, Ml residential seminar held July 28-August 61h. Seven teachers started in the new class (even though Ferris Board approval was not received until just prior to the residential course segment). It is anticipated this program will grow over time, resulting in the first M.Ed. that provides K-12 teachers with a background in philanthropy. Learning to Give Update Page 4 �IV. Univers ity Partnerships Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University's partnership with LTG has been finalized. Nancy Bell is the coordinator for Learning to Give- Indiana reporting directly to Dwight Burlingame, Associate Executive Director of the Center, Learning to Give founder, and member of the LTG Steering Committee. She is actively recruiting twenty schools as LTG partners in Indiana, raising financial support for the Project, and preparing for the first Indiana Summer Teacher's Institute scheduled for June 16-19, 2003. Center on Philanthropy Symposium on Youth Philanthropy The Center hosted a national symposium on Youth and Philanthropy August 22-23 which included two LTG presentations and the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP). The presentations were well received and the LTG staff are following up on a number of promising leads generated from these interactive sessions. The symposium also provided an excellent first-time opportunity for representatives from the emerging projects in Ohio (LTG- Ohio) and New Hampshire (L TG- New Hampshire) to strategize with L TG- Michigan and LTG-Indiana. Dorothy A. Johnson Center on PhilanthropyGrand Valley State University The relationship with the Johnson Center at GVSU has been finalized in a grant proposal to the U.S. Department of Education for financial support from the new federal Character Education funds. The grant request is a joint venture between the: Muskegon Area Intermediate School District (grantee); CMF through LTG; Michigan Virtual University; and Grand Valley State Universities' Johnson Center and School of Education. If funded, this three-year request would provide $400,000 in support to LTG; would support the launch of the GVSU partnership; and would result in a selfpaced online tutorial for teachers to be developed and implemented on the LTG Web site. Representative Pete Hoekstra has submitted a letter supporting the application. A decision is expected by early October. The grant model involves working with the University to hire a part-time staff person, and then to raise local resources to support the work at the university. The local resources show good faith that LTG is a program desired by community leaders. In addition, some funding will be secured to help cover ongoing expenses for L TG's leadership and technical assistance. Mandel Center at Case Western Reserve The Mandel Center at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, Ohio has expressed interest in serving as the LTG lead in the State of Ohio. CWRU sponsored a second successful Summer Institute for Learning to Give Update Page 5 �Teachers in 2002 and now has over fifty K-12 classroom teachers with a background in philanthropy education. Their base is now large enough to utilize these trained Teacher-Consultants as peer educators in future LTG Summer Institutes, and in advocating for LTG in the Ohio schools University of New Hampshire & Philanthropy Resources Unlimited Philanthropy Resources Unlimited, Inc., under the direction of LTG Teacher Consultant Nancy Nadeau, supported the cost of a one-day Learning to Give orientation for New Hampshire teachers, and the University of New Hampshire provided free meeting space. From this workshop, a K-5 school building in New Hampshire has volunteered to serve as a partner schoolteaching at least two philanthropy units at every grade level for at least three years. LTG staff will provide an inservice and assist teachers in selecting lessons that support the school's curriculum at a workshop scheduled for September 25th. We anticipate that this "early adopter" school will serve as a model for future New Hampshire schools. V. Evaluat ions=Prel im inary Re su lts The evaluation report for 2000-2002 will be reviewed by the Steering Committee at their November meeting. Highlights are included here. Teacher Reporting on Student Achievement of Lesson Objectives Specifically through our pilot test school relationships, we have data confirming that 4,844 students were taught a Learning to Give unit during the fall of 2001 in 25 different school buildings across Michigan, K-12. 53.5% Mastered and Exceeded the Learning Objectives 33.0% Mastered the Learning Objectives 9.1% Adequately Completed the Learning Objectives 95.6% of the almost 5,000 K-12 students taught LTG lessons adequately completed or mastered the lesson objectives Source: written feedback forms on student achievement submitted by K-12 teachers participating in the piloting of LTG lessons at each grade level in their school building. Teacher Survey Responses on Importance of Philanthropy Education Pilot Teachers report the "philanthropy education is a valuable part of the standard curriculum for students in their school" 28% Vitally important 62% Very important 90% of the pilot teachers, after teaching two units on philanthropy believe philanthropy education is very important to students. Learning to Give Update Page 6 �Source: 2001-2002 written survey conducted by Michigan State University and completed annually by pilot teachers involved in Learning to Give. Independent Review of Original Student Work Required by the Units 'There is evidence across all grade levels (grades 3-12) that students have learned the definition of philanthropy and can identify local, national, and international philanthropic organizations." "Responses (in student work) offered by a small majority of students illustrates that many are moving beyond rote knowledge to individualized application of the content." "It seems that many students understand that philanthropic behavior is possible throughout a lifetime and can occur in a variety of situations and for a variety of purposes." "In addition to learning the definition of philanthropy and philanthropic organizations, analysis indicates that students are learning how philanthropic principles intersect with Core Democratic Values. Most students are able to list the values, provide examples of each from their daily lives and suggest ways that individuals can enact these values." Source: 2001-2002 independent review of original sample student work from pilot schools scored by evaluators at Michigan State University. Interviews with School Administrators and Curriculum Directors "The majority of the respondents believed the LTG lessons lead to improvement in students' • knowledge of philanthropy (definition, purpose and history) • ability to identify and enactment of Core Democratic Values • preparation for the Michigan Educational Assessment Program test • understanding of the rights and responsibilities of different community sectors." "The majority of respondents also believed that LTG lessons had a beneficial effect on student behavior. Examples given included: • greater attendance at community service events • increased demonstrations of respect and concern for others • enhanced student engagement in class discussions" Source: Michigan State University interviews with administrators in Learning to Give pilot schools for schools year 2001-2002. Learning to Give Update Page 7 �Journal Entries from Participating Teachers Regarding Student Expectations 'Teachers were asked to consider the impact of the Learning to Give lessons on their students. Responses fell into three broad categories. Most common were expectations about individual growth and development, with the emphasis being on being stronger, empowered, empathetic, and caring individuals. Also important, but less often cited was a hope for involvement in, and service to, the community. Finally, many teachers also noted a specific goal for their students to understand and practice philanthropy." Source: Michigan State University 2001-2002 teacher journals. Selections from Discussion Notes with Pilot School Teachers 20012002 Observations Regarding Student Interactions Following the Lessons Fall2001 "Very aware now of what are and are not considered philanthropic acts and who is and is not acting in a philanthropic way" "Discipline and environment has changed because students are more caring and compassionate," Spring 2002 Student journals reflect kindness. Politeness and civility became routine. The whole school is different. Genuine empathy.

VII. Ma r keting and Public Relations Michigan Board of Education Russ and Kathy presented LTG to the Michigan Board of Education on June 12, 2002 and received their formal endorsement of the Project. The Michigan Board passed a formal resolution of commendation for LTG. In addition, Michigan Superintendent, Dr. Tom Watkins, highlighted the Learning to Give Update Page 9 �partnership between MDE and CMF/L TG in his recent start-of-the-schoolyear memo to superintendents and intermediate school district leaders. Other Michigan Presentations Rotary District 63/60 The President of the Rotary District 63/60 Foundation is promoting a partnership in Kalamazoo County between the Rotary Club, Kalamazoo Community Foundation, Kalamazoo Intermediate School District, and Kalamazoo schools to bring LTG to Kalamazoo schools in a replication of the model being tested in Muskegon County. In addition, a letter on behalf of LTG has been sent to the Rotary Presidents in the western Michigan district encouraging their pursuit of sponsorship of LTG in their home communities. LTG will present to Michigan's 63/60 Rotary Foundation's annual meeting on October 22 in Kalamazoo. Intermediate School Districts The Oceana County lSD has scheduled LTG to present a staff development workshop on philanthropy education. The Assets Development Coordinator for the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District who attended the Michigan Summer Institute is pursuing a proposal to establish a similar model within the Traverse Area lSD. Dr. Van Haitsma presented to the Northern Ml Learning Consortium at the Traverse Bay Area lSD on June 17-18. Our lead Teacher Consultant will present to the Oakland lSD in October. LTG consultant Dennis Van Haitsma presented to several school superintendents and business people at a Midland Chamber of Commerce meeting in early September and also made a presentation to the Kelloggsville High School principal, curriculum director and teachers in early August. Newsletter and Publications An LTG article has been approved by Jessey-Bass for publication in the November issue of the Association of Fund-Raising Professionals' journal on youth philanthropy. The paper on LTG presented at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana Universities' Symposium on Youth Philanthropy has been posted on the Center's Web site. The July/August, 2002 issue of Foundation News and Commentary mentioned LTG in both the editor's forward and in a major article on teaching the philanthropic tradition. The East Lansing Towne Courier published a June 9, 2002 article entitled "Philanthropy Project Combines Kids, Quilts, and Seniors" about two fifth grade classes at Okemos' Edgewood Elementary school whose students Learning to Give Update Page 10 �were taught a Learning to Give unit by field test teacher Sue Angell. The unit dealt with the Civil War, quilt making and symbols in quilts that showed slaves how to escape and find help via the Underground Railroad. Students interacted with a local Senior Center for an additional intergenerational experiential component. The Ferris Master's Degree was covered in a Grand Rapids Press article in early July that gave credit to the Council of Michigan Foundations and Learning to Give for spearheading the new M.Ed. in conjunction with Ferris State University. Since August of last year, another 100 Web site applications to receive Learning to Give's "For the Common Good" newsletter have also been received (the Newsletter is also available as an Adobe Acrobat file on the Web site). McGregor Foundation Sponsored Family Involvement Booklets The parent version of the Family Involvement in Schools research will be distributed to parents via the Michigan Education Directory's ParentTeacher Organization (PTO) list by November (based on school start-up after a summer off for this organization). Orders continue to be received for the educator's version of this publication. Michigan Women's Foundation Work is being completed on a joint venture with the Michigan Women's Foundation. Thirty Four lessons have been written on women in philanthropy. Ten briefing papers on women and issues related to women in philanthropy have been completed and another seven are in process with the Grand Valley State University graduate class. This set of units, papers, and the classroom poster will be available by December.

We are grateful to Trustees, Bob Aronson, Ted Doan, Louis Felton, Libby Maynard, Pattie Reynolds and Amanda VanDusen for their help in contacting these found ations. At present, none of these contacts resu lted in new members. However, there has been some interest to learn more from a few contacts. On September 6, 2002, a mailing was sent to over 600 family foundations under Rob and Julie Cumming's signatures. A specially crafted recruitment brochure for family foundations, return envelope and a sample document (Common Report Form), excerpted from the newly released Documents for Family Foundations, completed the package. We look forward to welcoming some new members as a result of this work. December 2002 marks the release of the 13th edition of The Michigan Foundation Direct01y. Directory information on newly fonned foundations gives us the opportunity (January 2003) to reach out to grantmakers and infonn them about CMF programs and servtces. We appreciate your assistance and that of the Membership Committee in these recruitment efforts. Many thanks as we work to interest more grantmakers in the value of CMF.
