An additional 17 members, with unpaid 2001 dues, are being dropped as well. CMF will send membership recruitment information, including the new tri-fold brochure, to these foundations. In addition, six community foundation affiliates are being dropped from independent membership status because they have not participated in the Kellogg Youth Challenge, as recommended by the Community Foundations Committee and approved by the Board at the February 2002 meeting. Community fou ndation affiliates will still receive benefits through their lead foundations. Upon motion duly made, supported! and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the report of the Membership Committee be accepted as presented; �CMF Board of Trustees Minutes of June 14, 2002 Page 5 Mr. Hudson noted that 19 new members joined in the past fiscal year, and three applications, received since the start of the new fiscal year on March 1, 2002, are being recommended for membership at this time.

Clark, Jr. Foundation, Detroit Barbara Lewis-Clark, President The Edsko and Claire Hekman Foundation, Grand Rapids J Lee Murphy, Secretary Bill & Sally Wildner Foundation, East China Bill & Sally Wildner, Directors Mr. Hudson reviewed the Membership Recruitment package for 2002 and encouraged Trustees to identify potential members from both the Membership Campaign 2002 List distributed at the February Board Meeting as well as an updated list of 83 targeted foundations distributed at this m eeting. By making personal contact with two names on the list, every Trustee can help CMF meet its goal of attracting 35 new members this year. Mr. Hudson requested Trustees complete the fax back form at the meeting or return it to Jeri Fischer within two weeks. Jeri will send membership packets to the Trustees based on their proposed contacts. Annual Conference Report Program Committee Co-Chair Kari Schlachtenhaufen reported the 30th Annual Conference Program is taking shape rapidly with the registration packet to be m ailed by mid July. As of June 13, 250 individuals have already registered for the conference. The confinn ed plenary speakers are: Susan Stamberg, Dr. Mae Jemisen, and former U .S. Senator Alan Simpson. Two simulations and a session for experienced grantmakers are planned. The Host Committee chaired by Penny Barr and Wes Maurer, both trustees of the Mackinac Island Community Foundation, has designed 14 tours and an interactive Host Event. Family Philanthropy Report Susan Howbert, Director of Family and Corporate Services, noted that the Family Foundation Learning Circle participants are so pleased with their experience that they are developing a session for the Annual Conference and planning a follow-up for 2003 . She invited Trustees to attend the two family foundation receptions planned for this summer: July 13 at the home of Woody & B etsy Stover on Walloon Lake; and August 17 at the home of Ted and Junia Doan on Higgins Lake. �CMF Board of Trustees Minutes of June 14, 2002 Page 6 In addition, Ms. Howbe1t highlighted the Family Foundation Retreat, scheduled prior to the 301h Annual Conference. Judy Healey will lead an interactive workshop on governance, and family issues. Michael Brandwein will focus on practical communication skills that can be used to build better and stronger family foundation teams. For the first time, a youth grantmaking experience will be offered to family foundation participants ages 8 to 18, with the help of the Mackinac Island Community Foundation Youth Action Team. More than 70 registrations have already been received for the Retreat. Government Relations Report Committee Co-Chair Libby Maynard and Mr. Collier reported on the numerous legislative activities happening in Washington and Michigan. The CARE Act, Senate Bill 1924, is starting to move in the Senate with support from the White House. Senators Levin and Stabenow are supportive of the provisions for philanthropy in the Bill but, due to concerns about other aspects within it, will not sign on as co-sponsors. In addition, the Corporate and Accounting: Accountability and Transparency Act, H.R. 3763, passed the House with a philanthropy amendment that will add new reporting requirements for corporate philanthropy. CMF and the Council on Foundations are working to insure that the Senate version of the Bill does not include these provisions. In Lansing, the State's financial budget may result in a reduced allocation from the proposed $4 million for the Tobacco Settlement Partnership. With the assistance of Duane Tamacki, CMF legal counsel, Public Affairs Associates - our advocates in Lansing, and the Community Foundations Committee, CMF has submitted language for a new definition of endowment for the Department of Treasury to use in their certification process for the tax credit. The new definition is being reviewed by Treasury's legal staff. Finally, Ms. Maynard noted the first meeting of the Bi-Partisan Philanthropy Caucus has been postponed until after the November election. Learning to Give Report Dr. Mawby, Chair of the National Advisory Committee, explained that LTG Executive Director, Kathy Agard, continues her work from Maryland where she is w ith her critically ill son. Kathy returned to Michigan earlier this week to join him in a presentation to the State Board of Education. The Board provided a unanimous resolution of endorsement for LTG, which will be helpful as it expands across the nation. LTG is hosting three Teacher Institutes this summer, all of which are over-subscribed. Ferris State University is now offering a masters degree with emphasis in philanthropy. At the Federal level, Congressman Peter Hoekstra recently introduced a bill to reauthorize the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). CNCS may be another source of funding for LTG. �CMF Board of Trustees Minutes of June 14, 2002 Page 7 Community Foundation Report Vice-Chair Diana Sieger and Trustee Patricia Reynolds presented the proposed Energy Efficiency Partnership with the Public Services Commission. It was noted that Commission staff had approached CMF about this proposed Partnership after the Commissioners had gone on public record stating their interest in endowing some of the projected $300 million payout over the next five years for the Low Income and Energy Assistance Fund. The Community Foundations Committee along with CMF legal counsel has modeled the plan for this endowment initiative on the Tobacco Settlement Partnership. The Committee proposes an $80 million commitment but has determined a minimum of $30 million is needed to insure that all participating community foundations receive enough funds to launch a viable Energy Efficiency endowment. CMF would receive a fee to administer the Energy Efficiency Partnership. The Board reached consensus that CMF should increase its proposed administrative fee to cover reasonable administrative and evaluation costs be subject to reimbursement and that the motion be amended to reflect the goal of $80 million. In addition staff will do further research on the feasibility of distributing the funds based on low income population statistics. Upon motion duly made, supported and approved, with one opposed and S. Martin Taylor abstaining from the vote, it was RESOLVED that the Energy Efficiency Partnership be proposed to the Public Services Commission with a goal of distributing $80 million, but not less than $30 million, from the Commission through the Council of Michigan Foundations to certified community foundations to establish endowed Energy Efficiency Funds. Strategic Planning As a follow-up to the Strategic Plan, Mr. Rappleye introduced Technology Task Force Co-Convener Tim Dechant, from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Mike Thompson of Information Technology Partners, and Gail Powers-Schaub, who presented the three-year CMF Technology Strategy and Workplan with a projected budget of just under $500,000. Chair Campbell noted that a fundraising plan will be developed during the swmner and presented to the Board at the September Meeting. It was noted that CMF's existing technology platfonn can be built upon and enhanced with several examples provided of how member benefits can be enhanced by the proposed Technology Workplan. �CMF Board of Trustees Minutes of June 14, 2002 Page 8 Upon motion duly made, supported! and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Technology Strategy and Workplan be accepted with appreciation expressed to the three Technology Task Force Co-Conveners, (Mr. Dechant, Richard Dunlap from the Kresge Foundation and Gavin Claybaugh from the C.S. Mott Foundation) and Task Force members. President's Report Mr. Collier referred to the lengthy President's Report in the Board Meeting packet and asked Susan Howbert to comment on the training being offered by Boston College's Center for Corporate Citizenship in Dearborn with support from AAA, Comerica, and the Detroit Regional Chamber. The course is oversubscribed with 34 registered. He then asked the Trustees and staff present to join him in thanking Jeri Fischer who completed 20 years of service to CMF on June 1. II. Adjournment The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees will take place on Sunday September 29, 2002 at the 301h Annual Conference on Mackinac Island.

Headquarters of the Capital C lub 2:00 p.m. Board Meeting 4 :30p.m. Adjourn with Board Picture (PLEASE NOTE TIDS IS A CONFIDENTIAL COVER MEMO) Ranny Riecker will not receive this cover memo until Monday, September 30, in order that we may surprise her with the information provided below after Senator Alan Simpson speaks on Sunday evening. We are asking that you consider this memo as an addition to the Minutes of the September 9, 2002 Executive Committee included herein. The Executive Committee has approved the following resolution for creation of the Margaret Ann (Ranny) Riecker Leadership F und. �Memo to Board of Trustees September 20, 2002 Page 2 With the leadership of President Emeritus Dottie Johnson and support from eight members (W.K. Kellogg Foundation, C.S. Mott Foundation, The Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow Foundation, Harry A. and Margaret D. Towsley Foundation, The Rollin M . Gerstacker Foundation, The Charles J. Strosacker Foundation, the Peter and Julie Cummings Foundation, and F. M artin and Dorothy A. Johnson Fund of the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation) one million dollars has been committed to this Fund. As with all of our endowment funds, additional contributions to this Fund will be welcome but not solicited. RESOLVED that in recognition of your 26 plus years of service as a Founding Trustee of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), and as the only individual to have twice been Chair of the Board, and for your continued enthusiasm and dedication to both CMF and to philanthropy in Michigan, the Board of Trustees does hereby create the Margaret Ann (Ranny) Riecker Leadership Fund. Permanently endowed, this Fund will support activities necessary to insure the organization's leadership role in increasing, enhancing and improving philanthropy in Michigan. Adopted with appreciation September 9, 2002 The following background statement was provided to the targeted funders listed above. Background As a Trustee and Officer of both the Harry A. and Margaret D. Towsley Foundation and the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation, Ranny has served more than 26 years as a founding Trustee of the Council of Michigan Fow1dations. Usually serving in a leadership position, Ranny completed her first tour of duty as Chair of the CMF Board of Trustees in 1984. In 2001 she completed her second tour of duty as Chair; this time leading the organization through the search process for its second President in the organization's history. Through the years, R anny has served as Chair and committee member on just about all of CMF's committees. She is perhaps best known for her interest in and leadership of the Government Relations Committee, which has completed more than 25 legislative goals. CMF's annual Legislative Goals Statement serves as a model for other regional associations of grantmakers. Her coordination and creation ofthe William Allen Fund has insured that CMF annually conducts a visit by Michigan grantmakers with our Congressional delegation in Washington. Other highlights of her Committee leadership include: • As Chair of Membership Services, helping CMF become the largest regional association of grantmakers in the country; • Through her work with the Family Foundations Committee, aiding CMF in strengthening its services to family foundations; • As chair for two Annual Conferences, providing dynamic sessions on topics important to Michigan grantmakers; �Memo to Board of Trustees September 20, 2002 Page 3 • • Through participation in the Improving and Increasing Philanthropy Committee, encouraging CMF to take a leadership role in responding to members requests for collaborative grantrnaking to deal with statewide issues; and Sharing her vision for philanthropy in Michigan by leading CMF through three Strategic Planning efforts. In partnership with its members, CMF continues to play a leadership role in making Michigan one of the top states for philanthropy in the nation. Yet, changing economic conditions, the role of technology and the intergenerational transfer of wealth are but three of the indicators forcing great change in both the state and organized grantmaking. CMF needs flexible funds that will allow it to respond on behalf of its members to these challenges in a timely manner. Ideally, the Margaret Ann (Ranny) Riecker Leadership Fund will generate $50,000 annually, based on a one million dollar endowment. The purpose of the Fund will be to recognize innovative leadership that increases, enhances and improves philanthropy in the state of Michigan. Examples of programs, which may meet the criteria, include: • • • • Strengthening a state legislative network (an issue of utmost importance to Ranny); Providing partial funding for research, such as the Private Foundation Payout Study; Sponsoring leadership training for both new and experienced grantmakers on public policy issues; and Provide partial support for the next generation learning about philanthropy, through programs s ut:h as CMF's Learning to Give, that encourages young people (K- 12) lo learn the value of service and giving of their time and resources. These ideas are only exan1ples. Rarmy and the Board of Trustees have always encouraged CMF to be entrepreneurial, responsive and a leader in the field. The Margaret Ann (Ranny) Riecker Leadership Fund would provide CMF with the flex ible resources to continue and strengthen this mission. Well, as you can see this will be a memorable Conference and a productive Board Meeting. Please let Rob know if you have any questions about the Ranny Fund. It will be a special surprise, and we appreciate your help in making it happen. Please let Sue Cuddington know at 616.842.7080 if you have any logistical needs. We will have sandwiches and snacks for anyone that is not able to participate in the networking lunches from noon to 1:30 p.m. We look forward to seeing you at the Grand! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. Date: February 10, 2003 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Robert S. Collier RE: Authorizing Amendments to the CMF 403(b) Plan RESOLVED that the CMF Chair and President be authorized to approve amendments to the CMF 403(b) Plan that may be necessary from time to time to keep the plan in compliance with the latest regulatory requirements and that will not have a financial impact on the organization. Background Occasionally CMF receives notification from Mutual of America, our 403(b) Thrift Plan provider, that certain provisions in the plan should be amended to keep the plan in compliance with the latest Federal laws. In the past each amendment required a vote of the CMF Executive Committee enact the change. Legal counsel, Clark Hill, has recommended a blanket resolution be passed by the CMF Board of Trustees authorizing the Chair and President to approve changes on behalf of the Board that do not have a financia l impact on CMF. The latest notification came from Mutual of America in December 2002 advising us to adopt a plan amendment to comply with certain provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of2001 (EGTRRA).

Advancing giving. Date: February 10, 2003 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Dav id R. Lindberg RE: CMF 2003-04 Budget RESOLVED that the 2003-04 Budget, as recommended by the CMF Executive and Audit & Finance Committees, be approved. On January 23, 2003 both the Executive Committee and Audit & Finance Committee reviewed the enclosed budget and recommended their approval to the Board of Trustees. Both committees want to highlight the fact that the two sources of income supporting the Member Services budget are tentative for fiscal year starting April 1, 2003 . The committees feel it is critical to move forward with the dues increase scheduled for April 1, 2004, to replace this source of funding. Tobacco Settlement KYIP Admin :fees $60,000 $44,000 In reviewing the attached Member Services budget it should be noted the budget has increased from 2002-03 due to the following reasons: • • • Attendance at the November 2003 Annual Conference is expected to increase from 650 for Mackinac Island to 800, which should increase revenue and expenses by $297,000. Also the registration fees for 2003 conference will once again include meal costs. On Mackinac Island attendees purchased meal tickets directly from the Grand Hotel. Expanded educational events for members, $82,000 2.75% wage increase, 27% health insurance increase �2003-04 Budget Notes Page 2 Member Services Revenue Note 1: Member Contributions In projecting dues for 2003-04 we have estimated members' assets to decrease by 8% for the one-year ending 12-31 -02. With annual dues based on the asset levels of our members, dues from existing members have been projected to decrease by $30,000 for 2003-04. At the request of the Finance Committee management reviewed the dues calculation using the Lipper bench mark calculation of -10.67% for the one year ended 12-31-02, based on the current 70-30 asset allocation mix for the CMF Endowment Funds. This review indicates a possible further reduction of $5,500 from the amount presented in the budget. For 2003-04 a net gain of 5 new members is projected, calculated as follows. New - 15 with assets averaging $500,000, dues of $360 each Dropped - 10 with dues averaging $360 each $5,400 (3,600) Note 2: Additional Member Contributions Contributions are anticipated to remain constant for 2003-04. Note 3: Other Grants In December 2002 CMF signed the latest Tobacco Settlement contract with the State of Michigan totaling $4,000,000, for calendar year 2003. The State has since notified CMF the contract will likely be reduced to $2,000,000 as one of their budget tightening moves, with $100,000 for administrative support, $50,000 for evaluation and $1,850,000 being distributed to Michigan Community Foundations. $60,000 of the Tobacco Settlement administrative dollars will be used to support the CMF Member Services budget for 2003-04. Should this contract with the State not be renewed; this funding source would be replaced by the dues increase scheduled for April1, 2004. If the State cancels the current 2003 contract CMF will request that a portion of the $182,000 in accumulated interest earnings from the Tobacco Settlement funds be used to fund ongoing staff support to this project. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2002-03\2. 18.03MeetingMaterials\DaveBudgetCover.doc �2003-04 Budget Notes Page 3 Note 4: Spendable Income- Community Foundation Endowment Fund The Community Foundation Endowment Fund was established using the interest earnings, starting in 1995, from the grant dollars CMF received on the W.K Kellogg Foundation Youth Challenge. Income available for spending, which totals $297,000 for 2003-04, is based on a 20 quarter rolling average at a 5% rate. This endowment fund supports a FTE equivalent of 4 staff devoted to community foundation programming activities, plus associated supplies, telephone and other office related expenses. Note 5: Conference & Meetings $297,000 of the increase is due to projected attendance for the November 2003 Annual Conference of 800, versus 650 for Mackinac Jsland. The November 2003 conference should generate a surplus of$77,000. Also included in this increase are the meal costs that will once again be included in the registration fees for 2003. On Mackinac Island attendees purchased tickets directly from the hotel which resulted in a lower registration fee. The remaining increase is due to tl1e following educational opportunities that are new for 2003-04 or have been expanded from the previous year.

The first year of the two-year phase in period raised full registration fees by $75. The second year (2003-04) increase will again be another $75 to $575. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2002-03\2. 18.03MeetingMaterials\DaveBudgetCover.doc �2003-04 Budget Notes Page 4 Note 6: Publications & Library Services The decrease from the prior year is due to lower sales from the 13th Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory, which was released in November 2002. The Directory is printed every two years. 13th Edition - Directory $33,000 Note 7: Other Income/Consulting CMF is receiving 50 basis points (.5%) to administer the KYIP Endowment Fund that was set up as a donor advised fund by Kellogg for the purpose of establishing permanent endowment funds at three KYIP sites located in Michigan. Eventually this money will be transferred to the three KYIP sites once they have investment committees in place to oversee the management of those funds. This grant was awarded to MCFV and therefore is included in the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures balance sheet. The budget also reflects test marketing a limited menu of services to financial advisors. KYIP Admin Fees Mise Retreats, staff searches, advertising, etc_ Services to Financial Advisors $44,000 5,000 15,000 Note 8: Investment Income Investment income is budgeted to remain relatively modest due to the low interest earnings on the operating funds, which are currently near 1%. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2002-03\2. 18.03MeetingMaterials\DaveBudgetCover.doc �2003-04 Budget Notes Page 5 Expenses Note 9: Wages An overall wage increase of 2.75% has been budgeted for 2003-04, which is in line with anticipated increases by other associations around the country. The CPI for the 12 months ending 12-31-02 is 2.43%. Under our current policy full-time employees who do not participate in the CMF provided health insurance coverage are eligible to be reimbursed up to $1,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses. This amount has remained constant since April 1, 2000, while over this same time period health insurance rates have increased at 42%. At the January 23, 2003 Executive Committee meeting management's recommendation to increase this benefit to $1 ,500, keeping the percentage increase in line with the health care premium increases, was approved. The increase from the prior year is primarily due to the following items: 2.75% wage increase 27% increase health insurance Filling support position in August 2002 Annuity Plan portion of wage increase $26,000 20,000 15,000 2,600 Note 10: Occupancy The increase from the prior year is due to a portion (5 months) of the lease costs for the Southeastern Michigan office for 2002-03 being covered by the funding received to support the establishment ofthis office. Funding for this office is now fully absorbed into the Member Services 2003-04 Budget. Note 11: Equipment & Furniture The decrease from the prior year is due to the anticipated purchase of a new copier in late 2002-03.

Since this plan involves special fundraising, the budget is in the special projects portion of the 2003-04 budget. The Kresge Foundation C.S. Mott Foundation $250,000 100,000 Note 13: Association Dues $2,000 of the increase is due to an increase in the membership fee for the Forum of Regional Associations, which is based on 10% of our core budget. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2002-03\2.1 8.03MeetingMaterials\DaveBudgetCover.doc �2003-04 Budget Notes Page 7 Note 14: Publications The decrease is primarily due to the 13th Edition of the Directory ($44,000) that was produced in Fall 2002.

Advancing giving. February 10, 2002 To : David Campbell, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Diana Sieger and John Colina, Co-Chairs, 31 ' Annual Conference Program Committee Re: 3 1st Annual Conference Report cc: Robert S. Collier & Vicki Rosenberg 1 In January 2003, work commenced on planning for the 31st CMF Annual Conference at the Amway Grand Hotel in Grand Rapids. The Conference will begin on Monday, November 10 and conclude on Wednesday, November 12, 2003. Following is a quick overview of the history of the Annual Conference and the draft program for the 2003 Conference. RSVPs are currently being returned by members invited to serve on the Program Committee. To date, those responses have been very positive. As usual, the Committee will include members from across the state representing the range of foundations that comprise CMF's membership. A list of those invited to serve on the Committee is attached. Participation: Historical & 2003 Projection CMF introduced its annual conference in 1983. Over time, participation has grown from less than 50 individuals to 1,000 ( 1999 and 2000 in Grand Rapids & Traverse City respectively). In 2001 , attendance declined due to the recent events of September 11 (688 in Detroit at 328 full, 179 partial, 181 complementary). The off the beaten path location and soft economy kept participation at similar levels in 2002 (645 in Mackinac Island at 471 full, 43 partial, 131 complementary). The 2003 conference projection assumes that a strong program, popular location, access for partial registrants to attend special evening events and keynote sessions, as well as the focus on foundation accountability will draw 800 participants to Grand Rapids (520 full, 150 partial, and 130 complementary.) Program Design The 31st Annual Conference will include 3 plenary sessions, 8 mini-plenaries, 24 concurrent 1 sessions, and 6 site visits. Based on positive responses from participants at the 30 h Annual Conference on Mackinac Island, the core competency and public policy issue session tracks introduced in 2002 will be repeated in 2003. In response to some concerns raised about the absence of"foundation type" tracks, half-day pre-conference workshops will be offered on Monday morning for community foundations and for corporate grantmakers. The Family Foundation Retreat will be held the weekend immediately prior to the Annual Conference providing a special opportunity for those members. In addition to the sessions noted above, the Conference will also offer: Breakfast Roundtable discussions, Dr. Is In consultations on topics rangnng from legal to governance, and an extended seminar for experienced grantmakers. �1 31 ' Annual Conference Pre-Planning Page 2 Program Committee Nominees Community Foundation Martha Bloom Libby Cherin Sam Cummings Angela Graham Richard Groos Julia Oliver Lynn Sherwood Bill Vanderbilt Ann Arbor Community Foundation Fremont Area Community Foundation Grand Rapids Community Foundation Battle Creek Community Foundation Barry Community Foundation Capital Region Community Foundation Grand Haven Area Community Foundation The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area Independent Foundations David Fukazawa The Kresge Foundation Russ Gabier Irving S.

Advancing giving. Date: February 10, 2003 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: David R. Lindberg RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations November 30, 2002 Financial Statements RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations' and Support Organizations' November 30, 2002 internal financial report, as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee, be accepted. Enclosed is the financial report as of November 30, 2002. Management would like to highlight two items in the attached report. At the September 29, 2002 board meeting the CMF Board of Trustees approved the establishment of the Margaret Riecker Leadership Fund. This fund was established to honor the leadership Ranny Riecker provided in her 26 years as trustee and twice Chair ofCMF. The purpose of this fund is to recognize innovative leadership that increases, enhances and improves philanthropy in the state of Michigan. To date we have received pledges totaling $1,015,000. For the year ending March 31, 2003 a surplus of $72,000 has been projected for Member Services, which includes both the CMF Core Operations and the Community Foundation Endowment Fund. Member Services Note 1: Member Contributions While overall dues from existing members has remained relatively constant we expect contributions for 2002-03 to be $32,000 below budget for the following reasons. Revenue from new members for last half of 2001 -02 less than budget Revenue from new members for 2002-03 less than budget $18,000 14,000 The projected membership count at 3-31-03 is 400 versus a budget of 458.

Registrants purchased tickets for meals directly from the Grand Hotel. The following meetings have added to the overall surplus for 2002-03. Meetin2 Investment Workshop Boston College Seminar Conversations Workshops Annual Conference Bud2eted Surplus Actual Surplus $0 0 0 50,000 $3,036 11,008 3,700 70,000 Note 3: Publication Income The projected variance from budget is due to sales of the 13th Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory being less than budgeted. Over the last couple of editions we have seen a decrease in demand for the print version and have scaled back copies from 2,500 for the 1i11 Edition, to 1,500 for the l3 1h Edition.

Lindberg Re: CMF 12-31-02 Investment Report RESOLVED that the December 31, 2002 Investment Report as reviewed by the Investment Committee, be accepted. On February 11, 2003 the Investment Commiittee will meet to review the enclosed repmt. 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 will be reviewed by the Investment Committee on February 11, 2003 . At the November 15, 2002, Investment Committee meeting, after presentations by both Bank One and Comerica, the committee approved a change in the asset allocation mix to include the following asset classes. Munder REIT Fund Bank High Yield Bond Composite Fund The enclosed Investment Report is presented in 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.

Lipper Large Cap Core Lipper Mid Cap Core Lipper Small Cap Core Lipper Real Estate Equity Lipper International Lipper Corporate Debt A Rated Fixed Income 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 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 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 September 30, 2002.

Background Governor Granholm and a group of foundation leaders have expressed interest in the possibility of creating and supporting an executive staff position (Foundation Liaison) within the Governor's office that would focus on opportunities to connect the common interests of grantmakers and state government. For a Foundation Liaison to be successful, the supporting foundation community and the Governor's office must agree upon the expectations and limitations of the position. This document provides the basis for a Memorandum of Understanding that will include: specific objectives, how the position would function in state government, how the position would relate to the grantmaking cotmnunity both through the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and directly, and a plan for how the position would initially be funded by foundations and replaced totally with public support by the start of year four of the Granholm Administration. It is recognized that both the State budget and the endowed assets of found ations have been adversely affected by the economy and weak stock market performance over the past three years. As a result many foundations have been forced to reduce their giving levels for 2003 in order to preserve the original values of donor gifts (principal). Therefore, while opportunities may be developed for funding partnerships between foundations and state government, the Foundation Liaison is not being presented as a fundraising position for State Government. This position builds on the many years of close cooperation between the foundation community and previous Governors in strengthening the nonprofit sector and the environment for giving and volunteering in Michigan. For exan1ple, the foundation community worked closely with Governor George Romney, while he was Governor and in later years, in supporting development of a network of volunteer centers- now known as Volunteer Centers of Michigan. In the early 1980s, at a time when the State's w1employment was in double digits, the foundation community and Governor Blanchard's administration collaborated on development of the Michigan Investment Fund. Throughout the 1990s the foundation community has worked with Governor Engler and the Legislature on a number of collaborations including formation of the Michigan Community Service Commission and partnering on its projects such as the Annual Governor's Awards on Volunteerism, creation of endowed community foundations covering all 83 counties with the help of a permanent tax credit, and distribution of tobacco settlement funds through these community foundations. Most recently the Foundation conununity has worked with the Michigan Community Services Commission �DRAFT - State of Michigan Foundation Liaison February 2003 Page 2 and Michigan Nonprofit Association to respond to the Governor and Legislature's support for endowing Connect Michigan Alliance - an innovative hub to promote and support volunteering. These examples have made Michigan a national model for publicprivate partnerships and a strong nonprofit sector. Objectives The following four objectives provide a starting point for framing the Memorandum of Understanding. 1. Increasing state officials' understanding of philanthropy and the potential roles it can play in partnership witb state government Because of their years of grantmaking experience, some foundation tmstees and staff represent a tremendous source of knowledge. However, evaluation findings that could inform state government are often left on the shelf or remain with institutions that do not have the capacity or opportunity to communicate with the appropriate state executive branch officials or members of the legislature. The Liaison would work with the Governor's staff, appropriate state agencies and targeted members of the legislature to increase the understanding of the potential roles philanthropy can play with Michigan ' s public sector. In addition, the Liaison would work with the President and Tmstees of the Council of Michigan Foundations as appropriate in its work with the Executive Branch and Legislature as summarized below in furthering relationships with foundations. 2. Supporting models that improve the efficiency and/or effectiveness of state government Foundations are in a unique position to work with both nonprofit organizations and government entities on program models that seek to better serve the public and specific target populations. Foundations could support evaluation of such programs that inform state policy and provide an ongoing opportunity for continuous improvement in the operation of state-mn programs. The Liaison would provide information and technical support to state officials as they develop relationships with state and national funders for program models that can support the Governor's strategic policy priorities. Because State government is often looking for partners for program implementation to respond to matching fund requirements of federal grant initiatives, the Liaison can develop a process for communicating these opportunities to funders. 3. Responding to opportunities for new local and regional public private partnerships that better serve populations in the implementation of government programs Because many local and regional foundations have been involved in their communities for periods ranging from 75 to 10 years, they are a resource to assist state government on how programs are locally implemented. Some of the local and regional public-private partnerships that already exist could be effective models for implementation of the Governor' s policy priorities. The Liaison would identify such models as well as their 2 �DRAFT - State of Michigan Foundation Liaison February 2003 Page 3 private partners that may be wi lling to considler support that would enhance or make more efficient use of state and state administered funds in local communities. 4. Attracting new national grants and federal dollars to Michigan There are national private foundations that could be a source of new resources for efforts important to our state. There are also a number of federal grants that Michigan could apply for if the correct public/private relationships are created. The Liaison would assist the nonprofit community, private foundations, and appropriate state departments to attract these new dollars to our state. Position Design Serving at the pleasure of the Governor and reporting directly to the Governor, the Liaison should be staffed by a person with a working knowledge of both philanthropy and state government- able to create the appropriate relationships with the foundation community and with the departments of state government. It will be important for the Liaison to be seen as a credible member of the Administration in order for this person to be able to work with and through the existing departments of state government, to w1derstand the expectations and desires of those departments, and to communicate those with specific foundations on partnership opportwlities. The Liaison must work to manage the expectations of both members of state government and the foundation community at a time of fiscal restraint and limitations. Limitations - It will be important that state government and the foundation community agree on what this position cannot do. The Liaison should not be used to replace existing government dollars or to fund "foundations" or "trusts" that are run by or for state government. It should not be seen as a development office for state government or as a gatekeeper to state government. Funding the Liaison It will be important to balance the funding needs of the Liaison with the need to institutionalize this position within state government before the end of the Governor's first term. It is proposed that foundations would provide three years of funding: 100% in years one and two, and 50% in year three. In the fourth year, state government would be expected to assume all costs for the Liaison. The budget supported by the foundations would include the salary and benefits cost for the Liaison and an Administrative Assistant, and modest travel expenses. It is estimated that the personnel and travel costs could be as much as $250,000 a year, or $625,000 over the three year period. The state is expected to cover needed office expenses, such as phone and postage, from the outset. A number of foundations have expressed interest in participating in this special partnership. Two foundations, The Hudson-Webber Foundation and the Kellogg Foundation, have already verbally pledged a total of $150,000. It is anticipated that the 3 �DRAFT - State of Michigan Foundation Liaison February 2003 Page 4 remaining costs for year one could be raised in the first quarter of2003, and the remaining funds necessary for years two and three could be committed by the end of 2003. It is recognized that interested foundations will need to receive formal proposals and would proceed within their normal grantmaking cycles. Role of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), a nonprofit membership association of more than 400 grantmakers, has agreed to serve as the fiduciary agent for foundation grants that would fund the Liaison. CMF would be the grantee for any grants for the Liaison and would either distribute the funds to state government to pay for related expenses or enter into independent consulting contracts jointly with the State for the two positions being considered. CMF would form an Advisory Committee of up to five foundation representatives to meet at least annually with the Liaison and other targeted Governor' s staff to review progress in meeting the objectives identified above. CMF has a 30 year relationship with state government and is viewed as a nonpartisan, neutral partner. CMF staff will continue to work with the Governor, Governor's staff, Attorney General and Legislature on regulatory issues affecting philanthropy, such as the permanent community foundation tax credit. Existing CMF partnerships with state government include: the Tobacco Settlement Partnership through the Michigan Community Services Commission; the Emergency Homelessness Prevention Project with MSHDA; the Michigan IDA Partnership with FIA; and the Michigan AIDS Fund with the Department of Community Health. In addition, CMF has an active public policy committee that has identified six specific issues for attention by grantmakers: K-12 school reform, access to health care; welfare reform; workforce preparedness and land use. The Liaison would work with the Public Policy Committee but not be involved in lobbying matters affecting philanthropy. In addition, the Liaison would work closely with CMF staff to use as appropriate existing communication tools with grantmakers. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. February 8, 2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chair, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Co-Chairs Government Relations Committee Re: Government Relations Committee Report cc: Rob Collier, President Annual Foundations on the Hill Visit On February 4 and 5, staff and trustees from 15 CMF members and 2 potential members joined Rob, Vicki and Dave for meetings with both Senators, 12 Congressional Members and staff from the remaining three Members. A list of the participants is attached. We provided each Member 111 with the 13 edition ofThe Michigan Foundation Directory, a listing of the grantmaking by foundations in their districts, information on schools in their districts using the Learning to Give lesson plans, and fact sheets on the Michigan IDA Partnership, and Tobacco Settlement Partnership. We appreciate the hospitality and support ofCMF Trustee Martin Taylor and DTE Energy for again hosting our educational reception and dinner. Senator Carl Levin spoke to everyone at the reception and welcoming comments were offered by Dot Ridings, President of the Council on Foundations (COF), and Allison Wiley, President ofthe Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers. We were joined for dinner by our new Congressman Thad McCotter, who expressed his suppott for simplification of the excise tax on private foundations. In addition, after dinner we had brief remarks from John Edie, Vice President and Legal Counsel for COF, and Ellen Dadisman, Vice President of Government Relations for COF. We again focused our discussions on two legislative priorities: the IRA Charitable Rollover and Simplification ofthe Excise Tax on Private Foundations to a Flat One Percent. These two priorities are reviewed in the two attached issue papers. SB 272, the Care Act has been introduced in the Senate by Senators Santorum and Lieberman, and contains the IRA Charitable Rollover. SB 256, the Charitable Tax Section of the CARE Act was marked up by the Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Senator Grassley, while we were in Washington. With support from Majority Leader Frist, the CARE Act is on track to be considered by the Senate without amendments. Senator Levin indicated that while he does not support the faith-based provisions in the CARE Act, he feels that it will receive more than the 60 votes needed in the Senate to be passed. We learned that agreement has not been reached in the House on who will re-introduce HR 7, the bill passed in the last Congress that contained both the IRA Charitable Rollover and Simplification of the Excise Tax. There is strong support for both of these provisions by Members of the Michigan delegation and a willingness to sign on as co-sponsors. Two of the original sponsors of HR 7 have retired, so Congressman Crane is now recruiting colleagues to join him in re-introducing the bill. �Government Relations Report February 2003 Page 2 Bill Richardson and Rob Collier met with Lisa Ridlin, stafffor the House Tax Committee chaired by Representative Thomas of California. She indicated that she needs help in making the case that the additional funds freed up by simplifying the excise tax will in fact be used for charitable distributions and not added to the administrative budgets of foundations. Rob Collier will be taking the lead in preparing a packet of materials for her. We also learned that Representative Stearns of Florida has introduced HR 199 to repeal the excise tax. While there are 19 co-sponsors, Representative Camp and other Members of the Michigan delegation do not feel this Bill will receive widespread support. In addition, Representative Gilmore of Ohio has reintroduced HR 275 to tighten up reporting practices for corporate philanthropy. The feeling seems to be that this Bill wi ll only become popular if there is another corporate scandal and that members of Congress feel they took care of this problem with last year's passing of the Sarbanes-Oaxley Bill. Briefing with Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox Now that Mr. Cox has completed the reorganization of his Department, a briefing is being scheduled for later this month with Mr. Cox and Mr. Robert Ianni, the new Director of the Consumer Protection Division, which includes the Charitable Exempt Department. Data on Giving in Michigan and March Legislative Briefing The attached one page sheet provided to the Michigan Congressional delegation summarizes data on giving from three sources. First, the annual State of the State Survey done in November by Michigan State University confirms that giving by individuals continues to exceed 80% of the population. The survey also indicates that more than 70% of residents intend to maintain their charitable giving in 2003 at the same rate as in 2002. Second, the 13th edition of The Michigan Foundation Directory reports that more than 200 new foundations have been created in the past two years in Michigan. Third, 72 CMF members responded to the Zoomerang survey in January requesting information on their planned level of giving in 2003. More than two thirds of this group report that their giving in 2003 will be below the level of2002. This information will be shared in a briefing being scheduled for Michigan legislators and their staff in early March. It has already been provided to Chuck Wilbur, Director of Programs and Policy for Governor Granholm. CMF' s Public Policy Committee On January 28, 47 grantmakers met with Tom Watkins, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in the first in a series of Briefings for grantmakers with State Department Directors being hosted by the Public Policy Committee. Participants will be contacted about possible interest in an informal affinity group offunders interested in education. We are presently working on a briefing with Mr. Hollister, Director of the Department of Consumer and Industry Services for late February or March. Vicki Rosenberg will provide further information on the work of the Cornn1ittee in her report at the Board Meeting on the Plan of Work. �Foundations on the Hill! 2003 Participant List Sandra McAlister Ambrozy Senior Program Officer The Kresge Foundation P.O.Box315 l 3215 W.

Background: Because of the stock market boom of the 1990s, many Americans have large IRAs, some in seven figures. Interest has grown among taxpayers in giving IRA assets to community foundations, private foundations, local charities or creating deferred gifts such as charitable remainder trusts that later benefit charitable organizations. Under current law, any tax-deferred distribution is fully taxable as income. For donors interested in relatively small charitable contributions, the tax effect should be no problem-the IRA disbursement is added to the donor's taxable income and then deducted from income when the gift is made. But two barriers in the tax code can thwart (or penalize) a donor making large gifts: Percentage Limitations: In any year, donors may not deduct more than 50 percent of their income for gifts of cash to public charities (30 percent, if giving to private foundations). Three-percent Floor: Higher income taxpayers may run into a provision that reduces their itemized deductions by up to 3 percent, subject to an overall limit that deductions cannot be reduced below 80 percent of the original amount. A large gift from an IRA can increase a taxpayer's income to the point where this 3 percent reduction applies. Legislative History: In 2001 , Representative Phil Crane (R-IL) and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) introduced companion bills (H.R. 774 and S. 205 respectively) that would allow IRA owners over age 5912 to make tax-free distributions directly to a qualified charity or a qualifying deferred giving plan, such as a charitable remainder trust, pooled income fund or charitable gift annuity. President Bush has indicated his continuing support of this provision. A version of these bills was included in H.R. 7, the Community Solutions Act, which passed the House in July 2001. H.R. 7 would allow both outright and deferred gifts, beginning at age 7012. The Joint Committee on Taxation has estimated the total cost of this version at $2.75 billion over ten years. IRA Charitable Rollover was also included in S. 1924, the Charity Aid, Recovery and Empowerment ("CARE") Act of 2002 sponsored by Senators Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Joe Lieberman (D-CT). On June 19, 2002, the Senate Finance Committee passed a version of the CARE Act that would allow donors at age 5912 to make taxfree rollovers to establish life income gifts (such as a charitable gift annuity). However, donors would have to wait until age 70% to make tax-free rollovers as outright gifts. Despite support from the White House and the charitable giving community, the Senate was unable to bring the CARE Act to a vote on the Senate floor in the 107th Congress. 1OBth Status: On January 23, 2003, Senator Hutchison (R-TX) introduced S. 209, a bill that would again allow IRA owners over age 5912 to make tax-free distributions directly to a qualified charity or deferred giving plan. Senators Santorum and Lieberman, with Senate Finance Chairman Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) included a version of this provision when they introduced the CARE Act of 2003 on January 30. February 2003 �Excise Tax on Private Foundations Position: The Council of Michigan Foundations and the Council on Foundations advocates repeal of the excise tax on private foundation investment income with simplification to a flat 1% the first step. Background: Generally, private foundations are subject to a 2 percent excise tax on their net investment income. The tax is 1 percent in any year in which the foundation's percentage of distributions for charitable purposes exceeds the average percentage of its distributions over the five preceding taxable years. Generally, private non-operating foundations must make annual distributions for charitable purposes equal to roughly 5 percent of the fair market value of the foundation's endowment assets. The excise tax paid by private investment income-$490 million in 2002-acts as a credit in reducing the 5 percent requirement. Because the tax paid qualifies as a credit toward the minimum distribution, eliminating the tax would automatically result in an additional $490 million in qualifying distributions per year-about 90 percent of which typically go to grantsaccording to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) estimates. The policy presents several problems: Under the current two-tiered structure, a foundation is penalized for making a substantial increase in its charitable spending. Many foundations set spending policies of 5 percent to 6 percent to preserve the long-term value of their endowments. A significant increase in one year (while making them eligible for the 1 percent rate for that year) will increase their five-year average spending percentage to a level they are not willing to maintain. As a result, for the next five years, their tax rate doubles to 2 percent. The revenue raised by the tax is not being used for its intended purpose: to cover costs of IRS oversight of exempt organizations. Instead, while the revenue raised by the tax has steadily increased, the number of IRS audits of private foundations has declined, from 1,200 in 1990 to 191 in 1999. The fiscal 2001 budget of the IRS's exempt-organization division is $58 million. Other tax-exempt organizations are audited but are not subject to a similar excise tax. The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) staff has recommended repeal of the tax. In an April2001 report ("Study of the Overall State of the Federal Tax System and Recommendations for Simplification," JCS-3-01, Volume 2, pp. 456-459), the JCT agreed with these points and concluded that the tax should be eliminated because of its complexity. Repeal, the report noted, "would relieve private foundations of having to make the necessary calculations of net investment income, file estimated tax returns, and consider the optimal level of charitable activity in terms of the rate of tax." Legislative History: In the 108th Congress, both the House and Senate introduced bills to repeal the excise tax. In 2001 , Reps. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) and Ways and Means Committee member Phil Crane (R-IL) introduced H.R. 804, which would repeal the excise tax for tax years beginning after 2001. A version of this proposal, providing for a simplification and reduction of the excise tax to 1 percent, was included in H.R. 7, the Community Solutions Act, which passed the House in July 2001. Senators Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Joe Lieberman (D-CT) also included a version of the excise tax inS. 1924, the Charity Aid, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act. However, it was not included in the Chairman's Mark that passed the Senate Finance Committee on June 19, 2002. The Senate was unable to bring the CARE Act to a vote on the Senate floor before the end of the 107th Congress. 108th Status: On January 7, Representative Cliff Stearns (R-FL) introduced H.R. 199, a bill to repeal the excise tax for years beginning after December 31, 2003 (H.R. 199). Reduction of the excise tax was not included in the CARE Act of 2003, introduced on January 30 by Santorum and Lieberman, along with Senate Finance Chairman Charles Grassley (RIA) and Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN). February 2003 �Joint Committee on Taxation February 5, 2003 JCX-07-03 DESCRJPTJON OF CHAIRMAN ' S MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE "CARE ACT OF 2003" SCHEDULED FOR A MARKUP BY THE 1 SENATE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE ON FEBRUARY 5, 2003 A. Modifications to the CARE Act of 2003 2 The fo llowing modifications are made to the provisions of the CA RE Act of 2003 . otilication requirement for exempt entities not currently requir ed to file an annual information return 1. The proposal requires certain tax-exempt organizations that are exempt from the information return (Form 990) fi ling requirement to file an annual notice with the Secretary of the Treasury. The penalty for failure to file the notice for three consecutive years is loss of exempt status. The Chairn1an 's modification extends the penalty of revocation of tax-exempt status to organizations that arc required to fi le an information return under section 6033(a) (Form 990). Under the modification, if an organization fai ls to fi le such an mformation return for three consecutive years, the organization's tax-exempt status is revoked. In addition, an organization's tax-exemption is revoked if the organization fai ls to meet its filing obligation to the Secretary for three consecutive years in cases where the organization is subject to the infonnation return requtrement in one or more years during a three-year period and also is subject to the notice requtrement for one or more years during the same three-year period. The revocation is effective from the date that the Secretary determines was the last day the organization could have timely tiled the third required infonnation return or notice. To again be recognized as tax-exempt, the organization must apply to the Secretary for recognition of tax- 1 This document may be cited as follows: Joint Committee on Taxation, Description of Chairman's Modifications to the Provisions ofthe "CARE Act of2003" Scheduled for a Mar/(Up By the Senate Commiflee on Finance on Febru01y 5, 2003 (JCX-07-03), February 5, 2003. 2 A description of the provisions of the "CARE Act of 2003" is contained in Joint Committee on Taxation, Description ofthe ''CARE Act of2003" (JCX-04-03), February 3, 2003. �exemption, irrespective of whether the organization was required to make an application for recognition of tax-exemption in order to gain tax-exemption originally. If, upon application for tax-exempt status after a revocation under the proposal, the organization shows to the satisfaction of the Secretary reasonable cause for failing to timely file the required annual returns, the organization's tax-exempt status will be reinstated retroactive to the date of revocation. An organization may not challenge under the Internal Revenue Code's declaratory judgment procedures (section 7428) a revocation of tax-exemption made pursuant to the modification. The modification does not affect an organization's obligation under present law to file required infonnation returns or existing penalties for failure to file such returns. In addition to the Secretary's outreach requirements described in the Chairman's mark with respect to the norice, the Secretary is requi red to publicize in a ttmely manner the requirements of the modification in appropnate forms and instructtons and other means of outreach, with respect to the penalty for fa1lure to fi le the information return. The Secretary is authorized to publish a list of organizations whose exempt status is revoked under the modification. 2. Suspension of tax-exempt status of terrorist organizations The Chainnan's modification clarifies that the proposal to suspend the tax-exempt status of certain terrorist organizations appl ies to organizations that are designated or identified as a terrorist organization prior to, on, or after the date of enactment. In addition, if an organization is designated or identified as a terrorist organization prior to the date of enactment, the suspension of the organization's tax-exemption begins from the date of enactment and is not retroactive to the date the organization is designated or ident1fied as a terrorist organization. 3. Payments by charitable organizations to victims of war on terrorism The Chairman's modification extends the proposal to apply to the fami lies of astronauts killed in the line of duty. The Chainnan 's modification is effective for astronauts killed and payments made since January I, 2003. 4. Revenue raising proposals The Chairman's modification changes the effective date with respect to the clarification of the economic substance doctrine (and the related penalty for transactions that lack economic substance) to transactions after February 15, 2004. 2 �B.

Mawby C. David Campbell RobertS. Collier Julie F. Cummings David 0. Egner Dorothy A. Johnson Kathy Agard Re: Winter 2003 Learning to Give Update Chair, Learning to Give Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member Steering Committee Member LTG Executive Director Learning to Give continues to make excellent progress on many fronts. Evaluation Report-L TG appears to positively affect school climate At its meeting in November, the Steering Committee received a two-year (20002002) evaluation report from the team at Michigan State University. Teachers and administrators in the pilot schools report that teaching philanthropy at every grade level in a school building is having a positive impact on school climate, discipline, and culture. The report also notes that students are clearly learning the meaning of philanthropy and that the majority are able to use the concepts in ways that demonstrate knowledge about what they have learned. National Advisory Committee-Ideas: outreach to novice teachers The National Advisory Committee met at the Fetzer Institute for two days in October. This meeting focused on the components of national expansion for LTG and helped to frame the relationships with the partner universities in nine states (including Michigan). One of the many excellent suggestions was that LTG, through the university partners, reach out to novice teachers (the first through fifth year of teaching) to provide professional development support and the teaching units. As many as 50% of teachers drop out of teaching in these first years. If supported so that they remain in teaching, LTG would be incorporated into and remain a part of their teaching plans for many years. Pilot Schools-Second Year/preparing for standardized test development Thirty-three pilot schools in thirteen school districts continue to teach the LTG units at least two times per year at each grade level. Mid-year de-briefings with the teachers continue to show high levels of enthusiasm and positive student outcomes. LTG collects original student work from these classrooms for evaluation by MSU. At the end of next year, three years into the pilot process, LTG will have students with enough philanthropy education experience to begin �the standardized tests that have been prepared at grades 5, 8, and 11. The schools are listed at the end of this report. Romulus Public Schools has selected LTG units that are now a required part of their core curriculum at the elementary level. They will be extending LTG into the middle and high schools over time, as they follow the "leading edge" of the elementary students currently involved. Learning to Give Schools-another level of participation A number of schools have asked to be involved in LTG, but they are not able to assure that two units would be taught at every grade level each year for three years. When a school has committed to having at least 1/3 of the classrooms teaching LTG for one-year, they have been designated Learning to Give schools and receive a certificate of participation. The schools are listed at the end of this report. Michigan: New Hampshire: Wisconsin: eleven school districts nineteen school buildings three LTG elementary schools one LTG elementary and one LTG middle school All of the Michigan Congressional Districts have some LTG activity in at least one of their area schools. In Florida, the Lutheran Schools are hosting a series of professional development workshops on LTG in Tampa, Orlando, South Miami, Ft. Myers, and Ft. Lauderdale for 600 K-12 Lutheran school teachers. In March, LTG will provide a workshop for teachers in Pinellas County Schools in St. Petersburg. Intermediate School District Model-second year successes The Muskegon Area Intermediate School District model to infuse philanthropy education into the core consulting strategies of the lSD staff is progressing in Muskegon County. Funded as a joint venture between the MAISD, LTG, the Muskegon Rotary Foundation, the Community Foundation for Muskegon County (including a substantial gift from the YAC), and the Michigan Community Service Commission, this component seeks to have every student in Muskegon County involved in at least one unit of philanthropy education every year of school. The consultant hired for this project is a 30+ year high school social studies teacher who is also an officer with the Michigan Council for the Social Studies. The Muskegon YAC requested that he provide a verbal report on his progress at the end of the first year (Fall 2002). We all smiled at how nervous he was to make this report in person-even after 30 years in front of high school students daily! This project will continue for another year. Learning to Give Update Page 2 �Teacher Professional Development-M.Ed. participation grows The Ferris State University M.Ed. with a concentration in philanthropic studies continues to attract new students. Online courses were offered in the fall and winter term. The second summer residential experience, and the first-time offering of the second residential experience will occur in the summer of 2003. The first class of M.ED. students will graduate in 2004. Three summer institutes are planned for the summer of 2003, pending funding approval: Michigan in partnership with the Dorothy A. Johnson Center at Grand Valley State University, Indiana in partnership with the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, and Ohio in partnership with the Mandel Center at Case Western Reserve University. University Partnerships-waiting for next steps University partnerships with GVSU, Indiana University, and Case Western Reserve in Ohio are actively underway. Partnerships with the University of New Hampshire, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Penn State, San Francisco State, and the University of Texas-Austin are prepared for launching LTG pending future funding. Early conversations are underway with the University of South Florida as the LTG Florida partner. Other National Partnerships-New Joint Ventures Emerging The joint venture proposal with the National Council for the Social Studies has been launched through the submission of companion grant requests to the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. In February, LTG met with the Program Committee of the National Assembly of Health and Human Service Organizations to explore a joint venture that would make the LTG units more accessible to youth workers nationwide. This planning continues to move forward and will be discussed with the Lilly Endowment. A conference call is being scheduled with the National Council of Churches to explore a similar relationship that would bring LTG units to religious educators. A fledgling partnership agreement is under consideration with Areyvut, a new Jewish initiative to bring LTG to Jewish educators in day schools and after school programs. LTG has been providing telephone technical assistance to a new K-12 Institute for Philanthropy that is developing at Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Georgia. The founder of the institute visited LTG in November to discuss their next steps.

Web site-Quotation Search Engine in final stages of programming Usage of the Web site continues to grow monthly. A new search engine program for the quotation section of the site is in the final stages of development at MSU. Staff members are currently capturing all of the book references in the lessons, annotated bibliography of children's literature, and briefing papers to develop a comprehensive overview of the philanthropy oriented books. This list will become the basis for a joint venture agreement with Select Books to sell books from the LTG Web site with a revenue split of 50% of gross profit.

Teacher Support Materials-Women Philanthropists Packet Enclosed is a new poster created by LTG with support from the Michigan Women 's Foundation. This is the anchor component to a new package being developed on women philanthropists. The package will include the poster, women philanthropy-oriented units and lessons, related briefing papers, women philanthropist quotations, and children's literature and resource suggestions. Similar packets are being developed on African-American philanthropy, environmental stewardship, core democratic values, and the arts and philanthropy. Finances-proposal submitted to W.K. Kellogg and conversation with the Lilly Endowment The W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant (2000-2003) is now fully expended. The Lilly Endowment funding will carry LTG through June 2003. Other smaller focused grants continue through the end of 2003. Two proposals have been submitted to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in support of LTG. The first is from the National Council for the Social Studies in a joint venture to bring LTG to social studies teachers nationwide and to use the NCSS chapter system to: support the university partnerships; code the LTG resources to specific state educational standards; enhance the LTG Web site; and develop online teacher professional development. The LTG proposal is focused on validating the outcomes in the pilot schools; integrating LTG into other states through partnerships with selected universities; continued quality assurance; sustaining the philanthropy education movement; and completing the formal evaluation. A meeting with the senior program officers in religion, education, and youth development at the Lilly Endowment is scheduled for the end of February. The Endowment has invited LTG to submit another funding request.

Advancing giving. February 10, 2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Ira Strumwasser & Betsy Upton Stover, Co-Chairs, Membership Committee Re: Membership Report cc: Rob Collier & Jeri Fischer Since the September 29, 2002 Board of Trustees meeting, seven foundations have applied for and met our criteria for membership - five family, one community and one corporate foundation. In addition, the Michigan Colleges Foundation, a public charitable foundation, has applied for membership but is not being recommended for m embership because the organization has a single focus to only fund private colleges in Michigan. As described in the attached criterion for Public Foundation m embership, single focus public foundations do not qualify for membership. The fo llowing resolution is therefore presented for your consideration and action. RESOLVED that the following foundations be approved for membership: Bingham Family Foundation, St . Clair Shores Michael D. Murray, Accountant Delphi Foundation, Troy Misty Matthews, Coordinator, Community & Government Relations Henry C. & Audrienne Murray Foundation, Petoskey James J Murray, President Edward & Elyse Rogers Family Foundation, Midland Elyse M. Rogers, President Roscommon County Community Foundation, Roscommon Mary T. F1y, Executive Director Ghassan M. Saab Foundation, F lint Ghassan Saab, Resident Agent W.S. & Lois Van Dalson Foundation, Kalamazoo Alfred J Gemrich, Trustee/Secretary Background With the addition of these seven members, we have 15 new members for the year. However, in addition to the 13 membe rs already dropped from membership as reported at the last Board Meeting, we are dropping seven additional members at this time. • The James P. & Debra K. Hovinga Charitable Foundation of Grand Haven A personal visit this fall confim1ed that the Foundation is not active but will rejoin once it is reactivated by family members . �Membership Report February 2003 Page 2 • The Alger Regional Community Foundation in Munising This independent community foundation has been absorbed into the Community Foundation of the Upper Peninsula and will now become a member with community foundation affiliate status because of its Kellogg Youth Fund. • Brackett Memorial Fund The Fund's contact reports assets are too low to merit continuing membership. • Hecht Family Foundation The Fund's contact reports they joined as a favor to Dottie and assets are too low to merit renewal. They can be served through the Loosemore Foundation membership. • Burdick - Thome Foundation and Ronald Kinney Foundation Their same legal advisor reports that assets have dropped too low to justify membership. Rob is meeting with the advisor in March. • Ronald Palmer Family Foundation Another member reports the family is no longer active with their foundation and does not feel they will continue membership. CMF started the fiscal year with 427 members, which means we have a net loss of five members at this time for a total of 422. The following chart summarizes the current membership composition: Private: Family Foundations Independent Foundations 181 @44% 59@14% Foundations Affiliates Donor-Advised Funds Supporting Organization 57@13% 30@ 7% 4@ 1% 1@ 0% Foundations Giving Programs 30@ 7% 31@ 7% Foundations Donor-Advised Funds 21@ 6% 2@ -0- Community: Corporate: Public: Out-of-State Associate: Private Foundations Community Fdn.

This group can be summarized as follows and is listed in the attached chart: 37 family foundations, 4 independent, 4 corporate giving, 2 corporate foundations, 4 public charities, 1 community foundation and 1 out-of-state associate. Each of these members received a letter in December. Rob Collier has been calling each to leave a message requesting them to please consider renewing their support. We would like each Trustee to write a personal note to two of these members providing further encouragement. We will provide addressed and stamped envelopes with note cards at the Board Meeting. While financially these members do not represent a huge amount of dues revenue, we want to take every step possible to retain them as members. It should be noted that across the country membership in regional associations continues to suffer due to the drop in assets being experienced by endowed foundations as a result ofthe weak stock market. The Membership Committee is planning on meeting before April 1 to discuss recruitment strategies for this next year. However, the information in the new 131h edition of The Michigan Foundation Directory provides an immediate opportunity. Please review the attached list of foundations, sorted by city and assets, and choose one or two that you would be willing to have us send membership packets to with cover notes from you. While Rob and the staff can write a compelling letter, experience indicates it is more effective when it comes from a peer as opposed to staff. We do realize that some of these foundations have been on past lists and efforts to recruit them as members have been unsuccessfuL Jeri Fischer, Membership Director, will assist you with detailed information about your identified contacts. We would like to mail these packets with your notes by April I. Many thanks as we work to interest more grantmakers En the value of being a CMF member. �Adopted by Doard of Trustees 10/2/01 COUNCIL OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS Criteria for Membership: Public Foundations Public found ations are recognized as public charities by the IRS.

Advancing g1v1ng February 10. 2003 Me mo lo: David Campbell, C hair, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Proposed CMF Philanthropy Advisors Network Building on the discussion at the January Executive Committee Meeting, the following recommendation is being presented for discussion and action. RESOLVED that tbe C MF Philanthropy Advisors Network be created as a two year pilot to better serve advisors (lawyers, accountant , fina ncial planner s , bank trust office rs, etc.) by providing resources for their clients, whom they are helping create foundation s and organized giv ing programs that will be potential members of CMF. The CMF Philanthropy Advisors Network (Network) will have an annual fee of$200. Subscribers to the Network will be individual advisors - not firms- and will be provided with the fo llowing benefits: • • • A pass code to a special section of the CMF web si te that will allow them to download two new resources for their clients interested in starting a fo undation or working with a community foundation. The right to register for the Annual Conference on a first come first served basis for l 00 places reserved for subscribers at the no nmember rate Attendance at a special reception for Network subscribers at the Annual Conference Our goal will be to have at least I00 subscribers, with the priority being lawyers, by the March 3 1,2005 . An Advisory Committee of up to 10 subscribers will be convened annually at the Annual Conference to recommend topics for resources be ing provided to subscribers and to assist in determining the feas ibility of making the Network an ongoing service and expanding it beyond attorneys to other types of advisors in 2005. Staff will work with the Finance Committee to annually review the cost implications of the Network. Background: Research conducted by The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI ) and CMF in 1995 and validated by surveys conducted by The C hro nicle of Philanthrop y has confirmed that advisors, especially attorneys, are looking for resources that: (1) he lp them feel more comfortable �CMF Philanthropy Advisors Network Page 2 in talking about philanthropy with their clients; {2) they can give to clients about philanthropic options. CMF is working with ICLE (Institute for Conti nuing Legal Education) and the Trusts and Estates Section of the Michigan Bar to address the first need thro ugh the following activities we hope to have underway by April I , 2003. • • • • • Sample documents credited to CMF will be submitted to for ICLE's Sample Documents website. ICLE will agree to co-publish or at a minimum promote CMF 's Establishing A Charilable Foundalion in Michigan CMF will provide content on philanthropy resources and options for the spring issue of the Section's Jo urnal CMF wi II co-sponsor a speaker on philanthropy at the Section's Annual Conferences in Traverse City and Troy CMF will write an annual pamphlet on philanlhro py for the Section's pamphlet series The proposed Network described above will respond to the second need - providing advisors with resources to give to their clients. For example, advisors would like to have examples to share with clients of families that have created foundations or set up donor advised funds at community foundations. CMF could pre pare examples on both individuals and families that subscribers to the Network would be able to download from the CMF website by using a pass code. Another example is resources to help clients e ngage their adult children in the process of creating the family foundation. We believe that providing subscr ibers with two resources annually plus a special reception at the Annual Conference are reasonable benefits for the proposed fee of$200. Those subscri bers attending the A nnua l Conference (up to I00) would be informed or the non-solic itation policy that CMF has had in effect for every Annual Confe rence. This proposal is not considered a membership in CMF but offers a potential new revenue source. lt was encouraged by Henry G rix, incoming Chair of the Trusts and Estates Section of the State Bar, at a meeting Susan Howbert and 1 had with him in November. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

February 10, 2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan, and Members ofthe Board ofTrustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Presentation of 2003-04 Plan of Work and Budget cc: Vicki Rosenberg, Chief Operating Officer David Lindberg, Vice President Finance & Administration As presented to the Executive Committee last month, on behalf of the staff and management team, I am pleased to present the proposed Plan of Work and Budget for the fiscal year starting April 1, 2003. We look fotward to a productive discussion on these items at the February Board Meeting. Introduction This memo outlines priorities for the new fiscal year and our progress in relationship to the eight metrics of the Strategic Plan. Vicki Rosenberg will review the next document which is the Strategic Plan Update that highlights both accomplishments in the first nine months of this year and new activities proposed for the 2003 Plan of Work. The 2003 Plan of Work document is also included as a reference tool. Dave Lindberg will review the 2003 Budget, which includes the three primary sections: member services, endowments and special projects. Priorities On April 1, 2003 CMF begins the second year of work based on the Strategic Plan. Our staff planning for the new fiscal year began with a review of changes to our operating environment and the implications of those changes on assumptions that influenced the Strategic Plan. Key factors identified are: • • • The continuing impact of the bear economy on both members and CMF endowed assets The increased scrutiny of the foundation sector by policy makers and the media The growing competition in the philanthropic infrastructure at a time of diminished resources and support from national infrastructure funders In response to these factors and our progress to date on this year's Plan of Work in implementing the Strategic Plan, the following five strategic priorities are offered for the new fiscal year. 1. Member Retention With less than 45 days to go in the fiscal year, we have 62 members that have not paid their dues. While we have taken a number of steps to get these members to renew, it has become apparent that we will not be successful this year in completing the first metric of the Strategic Plan - 95% �2003-04 Plan of Work and Budget February II , 2003 Page 2 membership retention. The economy is a challenge, and we need to ask for help from the Board and satisfied members in communicating with their peers to reinforce the value of membership. We are exploring a number of strategies that we plan on discussing with the membership committee, which we hope to convene before April 1. 2. Membership Recruitment We are pleased that 14 new members have joined this year. While this is an important accomplishment, we do not anticipate meeting the second metric of the Strategic Plan - 35 new members per year. In January we mailed 45 membership infommtion packets to new foundations. Our marketing to potential members will take on added intensity in the new fiscal year. An important discussion item for the Executive Committee will be the proposed Philanthropy Advisors Network - a new way of marketing CMF through the gatekeepers to those creating new foundations -the advisors to the wealthy. In addition, we will be working with the Membership Committee on the strategy of a family foundations subcommittee to help better address this growing group of foundations in Michigan. 3. Coordinated Marketing of Educational Opportunities With increased scrutiny of the philanthropic sector by policy makers and media, it seems vital that we stress best practices in our educational offerings. We can best do this by focusing on the core competencies of governance, finance, administration, grantmaking and communication - a priority of the Strategic Plan. These offerings must include a targeted marketing effort to trustees. Vicki Rosenberg is leading our internal educational team in addressing this priority. 4. A Helpful Regulatory Environment for Philanthropy Our State government has just experienced the largest turnover in 40 years due to term limits. While we have a good relationship with the new Governor and the leadership in the Senate is very supportive, the House of Representatives represents a challenge. The Bi-partisan Philanthropy Caucus will be a new tool to help address this challenge. In January we conducted the first annual survey to detennine members anticipated grantmaking for the next year. In this survey we ask them for the names of legislators they are willing to talk with about philanthropy. In addition, our efforts in Washington will focus on mitigating efforts to add onerous reporting requirements for corporate grantmakers, and getting the excise tax on private foundations simplified to one percent. 5. Strengthening our Internal Infrastructure The three-year Board approved technology plan w ith the firm ITP is well underway and will continue to be a high priority in the new fiscal year. We are excited about having the new web site ready to launch on April I. Other key activities planned in this area include further staff training on program management and diversity, and a proposed Board self-assessment process with Board Source for the June meeting. Whether it be technology or staff development, the end result has to be increased services for members that strengthen the value of membership. �2003-04 Plan of Work and Budget February II , 2003 Page 3 Strategic Plan Metrics CMF's success in achieving the objectives of the Strategic Plan will be measured by eight metrics that we intend to achieve by March 31, 2005. Staff reviews progress on these metrics on a quarterly basis. The initial two metric indicators for the Strategic Plan related to membership have been discussed above. This progress report reviews efforts in the past nine months on the remaining six metrics. To have 95% of the membership rate CMF membership as valuable. The Strategic Plan requires a biennial member satisfaction survey. The next survey wi ll take place in 2003. Staff is currently reviewing different survey instruments and has requested funds for this activity in the proposed budget. To help create 70 new foundations, corporate giving programs, or community funds. In the first nine months of this year, staff has prov ided assistance to 18 individuals, families, their advisors and companies on establishing foundations, corporate giving programs or donor advised funds at community foundations. In 2003, we will contact each to detennine whether or not they have completed the steps in creating their formal giving programs. To develop quantitative data about philanthropy's impact in Michigan. Activity begins this winter with a Community Foundations Task Force to help CMF develop a statewide database on community foundation activity. A key test of this database will be its ability to provide data useful to both individual community foundations and CMF in its work with policy makers and the media on the impact of community foundations. This database will hopefully offer a template for collecting effectiveness data on the other key constituent groups. To have 60% of members participate in CMF networking and education programs. Staff is now tracking member participation through our association database. At present 46% of CMF's members are participating in education and networking programs. To increase participation in educational offerings, we will be increasing the number of teleconferences and web based programs. We feel that more trustees will participate if they can do it from their office or home and not have to travel. This service will also allow us to serve more Trustees living out of state. To have 40% of members connected to state public officials. Our January 2003 member survey will begin to provide quantitative data on this metric. This will be a priority for the first six months of2003 as we d!etermine existing relationships and key state legislators that need to be matched with CMF members. To leverage $1 for every $1 committed by members to a public private partnership administered by CMF. We are tracking progress on this metric for the following three partnerships and are pleased with these early results. • 11 members have contributed $1.475 million to the Michigan IDA Partnership to match the $3.1 million from the State. In addition, a number of members have contributed more than $250,000 directly to the Regional Coordinating Organizations and local program sites for IDA matches. �2003-04 Plan of Work and Budget February II , 2003 Page 4 • 21 community foundations have partnered with local Continuum of Care Committees to raise $274,398 to match $274,398 from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) for Emergency Homelessness Prevention Funds and Summit Meetings. • The evaluator for the Tobacco Settlement Partnership is now tracking additional local leverage generated by the 65 participating community foundations for the endowed Healthy Youth and Healthy Senior Funds. While endowment building is challenging due to the weak economy, we expect this number to grow over time. Conclusion The five priorities for the new fiscal year and the progress on the metric indicators for the Strategic Plan reviewed above present a framework for introducing the next document - the Strategic Plan Update prepared by Vicki Rosenberg. The purpose of this Update is to review the objectives from the Strategic Plan under each of the six purposes while highlighting both accomplishments to date and activities for 2003 from the new Plan of Work. The bolded text signifies new activities. �CMF Council of Michigan Foundations FY2003 Plan of Work Serving grantmakers.Advancing giving.

Before approving the minutes of the September 9, 2002 Executive Committee Meeting, Mr. Campbell asked Mr. Lindberg to review the new partnership with the Small Business Association of Michigan that will provide access to health insurance and other benefits to small staffed foundations. Mr. Campbell then discussed the decision by the Executive Committee to delay the scheduled dues increase from 2003 to 2004 in light of the continued decline in the U.S. Stock market, which is causing many foundations and corporate giving programs to cut back their grantmaking and administrative budgets. A dues increase for 2004 will be covered in Mr. Collier's presentation at the Annual Members Meeting as part of the Annual Conference. Mr. Collier then shared the fundraising strategy for the three-year Technology Plan with leadership grants requested from the Kresge, Mott and Kellogg Foundations totaling $450,000. Support will be sought from the other top seven foundations in the state for the balance of $48,000 to complete the three-year budget of $498,000.

Advancing giving. February 10, 2003 Memo to: Members of the Board of Trustees From: David Campbell, Chainnan Rob Collier, President Re: CMF Principles and Practices As reviewed at the Executive Committee Meeting in January, we are requesting discussion and action on the following recommendation. RESOLVED that a Committee be formed to review the CMF Principles and Practices adopted in 1997 with recommendations for changes to be presented to the Board of Trustees at its fall 2003 Meeting. Further, the Committee shall work with the Membership Committee to present a recommendation on the value of making the Principles and Practices a condition of membership in CMF. In addition, we hope that the recommendations of the Committee and whatever action is taken by the Board can be shared at the Annual Members Meeting that follows the fall Board Meeting. Background Attached are a copy of the CMF Principles and Practices adopted in 1997 and a list of the Committee that oversaw their development. Also attached is a copy of the Council on Foundations (COF) Principles and Practices for Effective Grantmaking adopted last June. It is interesting to note how COF has addressed the issues of accountability and diversity in this updated version. COF has made subscribing to these Principles and Practices a condition of membership. CMF has not taken this step. In light of the increased scrutiny being placed on philanthropy by policymakers and the media, the Executive Committee feels it is time to review and update CMF's Principles and Practices and to discuss the issue of whether or not they should be a condition of membership. While we do not want to give foundations and corporate giving programs a reason to not join CMF, it is important to take a clear stand on these principles and practices. Finally, we are also enclosing for your review a copy of Recent Reforms in Corporate Governance by Janne Gallagher, Deputy General Counsel for COF. We look forward to discussing these issues with you. �CMF Council of Michigan Fou ncfations Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving. February 11, 2003 Memo to: David Campbell, Chainnan, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Principles and Practices Discussion Last June the Board of Directors of the Council on Foundations (COF) adopted Principles and Practices for Effective Grantmaking, a copy of which is enclosed. CMF adopted our Principles and Practices in 1997, a copy of which is also enclosed. Is it time to revisit and update our Principles and Practices. Given the regulatory environment for philanthropy and the nonprofit sector, should we consider making them a requirement of membership? COF does make it a condition of membership, as does the Council of Minnesota Foundations. Finally, I am also enclosing a copy of Recent Reforms in Corporate Governance by Janne Gallagher, Deputy General Counsel for COF. I look forward to your counsel on making this a substantive discussion at the February Board Meeting. �CMF Council of Michi an Foun1ations Servmg grantnrake rs. Advancing g1vlng Council of Michigan Foundations Principles & Practices Michigan is blessed with a tradition of philanthropic giving. This is demonstrated in part by an increasing number of foundations and corporate giving programs that are vital partners with the public. private and nonprofit sectors in strengthening the quality of life for a ll residents. Members of the Council ofMichigan Foundations (CMF) have requested information and guidance on matters to consider when assessing lhc operational effectiveness of their foundation or corporate giving program. Likewise, individuals considering the formation of a private or community foundation or corporate giving program (hereafter referred to as grantmakers/grantmaking organization), have asked for a similar checklist of guidelines to consider. With this in mind, the CMF Board of Trustees has adopted the following ten Principles that are highlighted in bold. The CMF Board recognizes that there are many different approaches to implementation of each principle. Therefore, following each principle are examples of practices that have proven to be beneficial to one or more Michigan grantmakers in achieving the principle. While mnny of these practices are required by law, a number are unique to specific types of grantmakers. In the latter category, it is intended that grantmakers choose among the practices that best suit their operational requirements. lntended to be instructional, these practices are updated annually in order to share what works well for grantmakers. Other examples of practices and materials to implement each principle are available from the CMF office. Additional ideas are always welcome. I. Honor donor intent by respecting the basic purposes and expectations as set forth by tbe donor(s) in documents or other forms of communication creating the grantmaking organiz~ltion. '-- • Have donor(s) talk about their interests and expectations with the board, ideally videotaping the meeting for future reference and generations. Encourage donor(s) to be as clear as possible about their purpose in creating the grantmaking organization. • Make certain that copies of the creating documents and any other written correspondence are available in a manual for each board member. • Request that each board member reread the organizing documents and any other purpose statements, at least once a year. �Principles & Practices Page 2 • Reiterate the donor's intent in any annual report or other foundation publications. • If our changing society makes follo~ring the donor's specific instructions impractical, find related alternati ve strategies ofgran tmaking that reasonably honor the donor·s intent. 2. Have an identifiable d ecision -ma king body r espons ible for determining and revisiting periodically the policies that defin e the p r ogram interests a nd obj ectives to be served . • In most cases, the founder establishes the fi rst board. In selecting board members, qualifications to consider may include: -agreeability with the Stated Purposes of the Foundation/Donor, -willingness to participate actively, -policy. programmatic and fiscal experience, -commitment to the integrity of the grantmaking process, -reputation for fairness and equality, -philosophy, gender, race, ethnicity and socio-economic status, and -will ingness to become informed. • Orient new board members to thei r responsibilities by sharing written materials including the organizational documents, any written correspondence from the founder and individual meetings with other board members and staf[ • Establish a plan and process for the periodic review of board member per formance as a body and individuall y. • If compensation is provided. consider the appropriateness of fees in relation to board member responsibi lities and the time commitment in board service. 3. Be accounta ble to the law and to the responsibilities of being a fidu ciary a nd of tax exemption. • Board members must be familiar with all federal and state legal requirements including such subjects as the private foundation pay-out, excise tax and self-dealing laws, annual filing of 990 P F and 990, as well as state requirements. • Consider lhe merit of an annual independent a udit. Most grantmakers of any size have an independent audit. Adopt.:d by the CMI- Board of Trustees- 1997 2 I Scudllmgton' Board ofTrustces\Prmcipals &. Practiccs\No~ - 2000.doc �Principles & Practices Page3 • Make certain that sufficient administrative funding is maintained to assure that the grantmaker can carry out its mission effectively. Expenses should not be excessive or disproportionate to the amounts spent directly for grants and technical assistance to grantees. Review salary and expense surveys compiled by grantmaker associations. • Develop investment objectives and asset allocation policies to help insure appropriate oversight of investment performance. 4. Adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior. • Establish processes to ensure that personal interests of board members and staff do not conflict with grantmaker·s mission and purpose. • Establish a conflict of interest policy. Such a policy may include: -Procedure to disclose organizational afmiations with grantees, potential grantees or other constituents or vendors with whom the organization does business, -Procedures for decision-making when a board member or employee has a real or perceived conflict of interest, -Policy on acceptance of fees or entertainment from a grantee or a potential grantee. 5. Review a nd eva lua te periodically the mission, policies, grantmaking priorities and practices. • Review on an annual basis governing principles and policies. Depending on the number and scope. such a review may be established on a rotating basis for a certain month of each year. • Some grantmakers conduct their own review internally, others enlist outside help to conduct an annual review. Others use grantees and ouher representatives of the community to help assess current needs and problems.

Be accessible in r esponding clearly and promptly to requests fo r informa tion and grant applications. • Publish an address and the name of an individual to contact for information. Grantmakers that maintain offices, if feasible. should also publish a phone number, office location and office hours. • Make information available to at least one publisher of a foundation directory, and ideally all, in order that correct information regarding a grantmaker's purposes and priorities may be available to the public. • Make information available to the Foundation Center and CMF, in order that correct information regarding a grantmaker's purposes and priorities may be published in directories available to the Public. 7. Deal respectfully with applicants, grantees and donors to help a ddress shared goals. • Respond in a timely manner to all requests. • Be clear about any reponing requirements and the nature of any monitoring that will take place. Some grant makers include a list of standard requirements in the grant award letter. 8. Ma ke readily available basic information about fundin g priorities, application requirements, a nd gran tmaking through publishing and distributing periodic communication tools such as an annual r eport. • The format, detai l and dissemination strategies of such publications or materials need to be appropriate to the size and complexity of the grantmaker's program and to the needs of its prospective grant applicants. • As appropriate, the following administrative information about each grantmaking organization should be included: • • • • name of board members, names and titles of officers. listing of s taff. and financial information, including total income. expenditures, and a balance sheet. Adopted by the CMF Board ofTruste.:s- 1997 I Scuddmg1on\Boanl ofTru~1ee<s\Princ1pals & Pracliccs 4 ov - 2000.doc �Principles & Practices Page 5 • Provide a fu ll and clear description of its grantmaking process, including for example, information about its: - - • mission and goals. program interests, funding priorities and any restrictions on what is supported, geographic Iimitations, if any, preferred format for applications, application deadlines, statements of when and how requests will be acknowledged. an estimate of the time needed for a decision, a list of grants made in the previous year, policies and practices related to muJti-year funding, and average size and range of grants made. \\'hen a policy or procedure changes significantly, those affected, including grant applicants, should be advised within a reasonable period of time. 9. Draw on the full range of human talents available for boa rd service, sta ff, and consultants. • Some grantmakers have established a diversity policy to help them in considering how to obtain the best qualified individual for each task. • Some grantmakers consider the demographics of their geographic area served when nominating board members and selecting staff 10. Learn by networking with other grantmakers and by participating in organizations, like CMF, that support the field of philanthropy. • Many grantmakers regularly meet to exchange ideas. to collaborate on a grant project or to hear from informed speakers. • Consider joining groups like your regional association of grantmakers (CMF). Council on Foundations, Independent Sector, Philanthropy Roundtable, National Network of Granlmakers, and/or an affinity group.

DC 20036· ~168 (202)466-6512 · FAX (202) 785-3926 Recent Reforms in Corporate Governance Should Foundations C hange Too'? Janne G. Gallagher Deputy General Counsel October 10, 2002 1 The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of2002 makes sweeping changes in the governance of public companies, including requirements with respect to the independence of auditors, the role of the audit committee, minimum standards for directors to be considered independent, and a host of other law c hanges designed to protect investors and the public. By its terms Sarbanes-Oxley appHes only to public companies- businesses that issue publicly-traded stock. However, although Sarbanes-Oxley does not apply to them, some charities are asking whether they should adopt similar rules voluntarily to bolster public confidence in their financial integrity. The Coalition for Nonprofit Health Care ("CNHC"), an umbrella organization for nonprofit hospitals, believes that it is only a matter of time until some of these corporate reforms are applied to nonprofit organizations. A July report by the coalition2 cites statements by several state assistant attorneys general that their nonprofit oversight wi ll include corporate governance. ln addition, the IRS has just announced that it is considering adding a series of questions to Fonn 990 addressing accounting practices and the veracity of information provided to the public. Possible questions include: o Whether the organization has a confljct of interest policy o Whether the organization has an independent audit committee The IRS also is asking whether there should be additional disclosure, beyond the considerable detail a lready required, for transactions between the organization and its substantial contributors, officers, directors, trustees, and key employees. The balance of this memorandum is a list and brief discussion of Sarbanes-Ox ley reforms that could be adopted voluntarily by charitable nonprofit organizations. Not all of these 1 Public Law o. 107-204 (July 30, 2002). 2 Coalition for Nonprofit Health Care, WhJte Paper: "'Corporale Responsibility Proposals' That Could Be Extended to Nonprofit Health Care Organizations" (July L8, 2002), htro://www.c nhc.org/ru.!fl.CQ_roorate%20Responsibi Iit y.pd fC vI ). PDF. �reforms will be appropriate for all charities. However, as the current '·gold standard" for corporate responsibility, charity executives and boards would be well-advised to consider whether some reforms are appropriate for voluntary adoption. Altached at the end of this memorandum are the nine steps that the Coalition for Nonprofit Health Care has recommended its members take voluntarily. Auditor Committees and Outside Auditors Audit Committees The Sarbanes-Oxley reforms substantially strengthen the independence of corporate audit comm ittees. Measures that charitable nonprofits could adopt voluntarily include: • Establishing an audit committee if the organization does not already have one; • Requiring that audit committee members be independent. That is, members of the audit committee could not be employed by the charity, or any organization affiliated with the charity, and could not accept compensation from U1e charity for providing services other than as a board member; • Making the audit committee directly responsible for hiring, compensating, and overseeing the work of the foundation's outside auditor; • Disclosing whether the audit committee has at least one member who is a financial expert; and • Providing for "whistleblower" access to the committee. Obtaining Consulting or Other Services from a C ha rity's Outside Auditor Sarbanes-Oxley bars companies from purchasing the following services from the company's outside auditor: • • • • • • • • Bookkeeping and other services related to ilie accounting records or financial statements; Design and implementation of financial systems; Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, and contribution-in-kind reports; Actuarial services; Internal audit outsourcing services; Management functions or human resources; Broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services; and Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit. The legislation autl1orizes the SEC to add to this list and also provides that the company's audit committee must approve, in advance, the provision of any oilier non-audit services by the company's outside auditor. Charities could consider whether they should voluntarily refrain from purchasing similar services from their outside auditor. 2 �Audit Partner Rotation Sarbanes-Oxley requires the outside auditor to designate a new lead aud it partner and a new audit review partner at least every five years. Charities could weigh the desirability of a similar rotation against the increased audit cost that may result. Code of E thics for Senior Financial Officers Sarbanes-Ox Icy requires companies to disclose whether or not they have adopted a code of ethics for their seruor financial officials that is applicable to its principal financial officer, its comptroller, and its principal accounting officers (or persons performing similar functions). If the company has not adopted such a code, it must explain why it has not. The code of ethics is to include those standards reasonably necessary to promote: • • • Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; Full, fair, accurate timely, and understandable disclosures in the company's periodic reports; and Compliance with applicable governmental rules and regulations. Charities could weigh whether to adopt a s imilar code of ethics for their principal financial officers. Disclosures and Certifications Financial Statement Certification Sarbanes-Oxley requires a company's CEO and its CFO to sign quarterly and annual reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Conunission. The signature of the two officers attests that: • The officer has reviewed the report; • To the officer's knowledge, the report does not contain any untrue statements or omit any material facts; • To the officer's knowledge, all financial information fairly represents the company's financial condition for the period covered by the report; • The officers have designed and arc maintaining internal controls that ensure that marerial information about the company and its consol idated subsidiaries is made known to the officers. rn addition, the officers must: • o Evaluate the effectiveness of the internal contro ls withjn 90 days of the date lhe report is filed; and o Disclose in the report their conclusions about the controls' effectiveness; The officers have disclosed to the company's auditors and to its audit committee: 3 �o All significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that could adversely affect the company's ability to process and report financial data, including the identification to the auditors of any material weaknesses in the internal controls; and o Any fraud, whetl1er or not material, on the part of management or other employees with a significant role in the internal audit process. The charity equivalent would be for ilie CEO or CFO to s ign the charity's Form 990 or Fon11 990-PF (the IRS pennits any officer to sign these documents). Charities also could consider adopting internal control systems similar to those required for public companies and issuing an annual statement evaluating the effectiveness of those controls. Related P a r ty a nd Off-books Rela tionships Sarbanes-Oxley requires companies to disclose all material transactions not included in the company's balance sheet and all relationships wilh unconsolidated entities or other persons that may materially affect the company's current or future financial condition, Liquidity, capital resources, and so forth. Complex corporate and financial structures a re far tess prevalent among cbarities;3 however, those charities that do have transactions or relationships that fall within the spirit of this rule may want to consider disclosures analogous to those required of regulated companies. Co mpensation I ssues Loans to Executives and Board Mem bers Sarbanes-Oxley prohibits personal loans or other extensions of credit to company directors or executive officers. Existing loans are grandfathered. Adopting a blanket rule like this voluntarily is likely to be controversial since some charities include mortgage loans, loan guarantees, or similar extensions of credit as part of a package to induce executives to relocate and s uch loans are legally permissible as long as the economic bene fit of any belowmarket loan, when added to the individual's other compensation, does not render the total unreasonable. Nonetheless, Ole inclusion of this provision in Sarbanes-Oxlcy suggests that charities may want to revisit their policies on loans to executives and consider whether other fom1s of compensation may be more appropriate or less controversial. Executive Co mpensation Sarbanes-Oxley did not include provisions addressing the disclosure of executive compensation. However, President Bush has challenged CEOs to describe in plain English in tlleir annual reports every detail of their compensation packages and to explain how that package is in the best interests of the company's shareholders. Executive compensation must 3 They are not unknown, however.

Following Arizona Baptist's collapse, Arthur Andersen agreed to a $217 million settlement. 4 �be reported annually to the SEC, but the President believes that the inforn1ation is frequently buried in proxy statements and infrequently reviewed by shareholders. Charity CEO compensation is disclosed in Form 990 or Form 990-PF. Charities could consider whether to adopt additional disclosures in the spirit of the President's challenge to business executives. Coalition for Nonprofit H ealth Care Recommended Action Steps for Nonprofit Health Care Organizations A July 18, 2002 White Paper prepared by the Coalition includes the following nine steps that nonprofit health care organizations can take immediately, in anticipation of the adoption of formal reforms applicable to nonprofit organizations generally: • Adopt internal accounting controls and accounting practices that will facilitate the ability ofCEOs and CFOs to personally vouch for the organization's financial statements; • Understand and be prepared to disclose or defend any related party transactions or off-balance sheet transactions engaged in by the organization; • Assess the independence of directors, outside auditors, and outside advisors carefully and, if necessary, take measures to reduce conflicts of interest; • Evaluate the use of independent audit firms for other services; • Establish or assess the independence of dedicated audit committees, nominating cornn1ittees, and compensation committees; • Adopt clear record-retention policies; • Understand and compose a detailed description of executive compensation packages, including a clear explanation of why the packages are in the best interest of the nonprofit health care organization; • Evaluate governance policies and procedures in light of the Subcommittee's report on the Eruon board and strengthen board understanding of fiduciary duties; and Review the financial condition, accounting practices, and fLDancial statements of for-profit subsidiaries, and considering the extent to which the above items may affect the activities of and disclosures made with respect to for-profit subsidiaries. 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These relationships have often allowed John and Tonya to encourage organizations to new levels of excellence in serving people in need. It is with surprise, then, that we have learned from nonprofit organizations of the sudden change in focus of the Thompson-McCully Foundation. Of even greater concern is bearing from the leaders of nonprofit organizations who believed they had a finn multi-year funding commitment from the foundation, but have been notified that future payments on existing grants are being cancelled. These notifications have stated that lhe actions are being taken not because of any problems with the way the projects are being carried out by the grantees, but because of the change in focus of the foundation's grants program. We assume that your legaJ counsel has confirmed that the foundation has no legal responsibility for damages to these grantees. However, we would urge you to reconsider these actions on the basis of what is fair to these groups and the people who are served by them. ydJ Yeo Wd!SO<~Link MAmorrill FoondHIIOO SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN OFFICE 333 West Fort Street.

Other grantees are trying to preserve the work the foundation has supported, but are struggling to find donors who will pick up the funding that the foundation has abruptly cancelled. As you know, nonprofits, and especially human service organizations, are facing some of the toughest challenges in thei.r history due to our weak economy. They are being overwhelmed with requests for help and other donors are not in a position to increase their support. Mr. Thompson, we are not suggesting that you should change from the new direction you have chosen for the foundation. We are urging you, however, to re-consider the cancellation of prom ised payments on grants the foundation has already approved. The Council of Michigan Foundations is committed Lo promoting effective philanthropy in Michigan.

Since then, the Incubator has facilitated numerous nationwide capacity development calls designed to add community foundations in the customization and implementation of the marketing tools. Research and development has already begun for the next portfolio of marketing and communication tools to be released this fall at the COF Community Foundation conference in Baltimore, through the National Marketing Action Team (NMAT). 1:\Scuddington\Board ofTmstees\Meetings2003Vune 6-2003Packet\Community FoundationReport6-03.doc 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
