Advancing giving. Date: February 20, 2004 Memo to: Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members ofthe Board of Trustees From: David R. Lindberg Robert S. Collier Vicki J. Rosenberg RE: 2004-05 Budget Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees approve the 2004-05 Budget as recommended by the CMF Executive and Audit & Finance Committees. In reviewing the attached Core Operations 2004-05 Budget it should be noted the increase from 2003-04 is due primarily to the following reasons: 3% wage increase and 8% health insurance cost increase Reduction in staff time charged to special projects Production of the 14tn Edition of Michigan Foundation Directory Communications consultant who will be on board for a full 12 months in 2004-05 vs. 6 months in 2003-04. Increase in revenue for the November 2004 Annual Conference, sponsorship & registration fees. $30,000 45,000 66,000 22,000 $ 146,000 Member Services Revenue Note 1: Member Contributions The budgeted revenue is based on the new membership investment structure which will go into effect April 1, 2004. Additional revenue based on the new dues structure is broken down as follows: Cate2:orv Foundations Corporate Giv ing Programs Estimated loss due to increase Net Revenue Gain Additional Revenue $ 171,000 9,000 (30,000} $ 150,000 �2 Based on the negative returns for the last few years we estimated members ' assets to increase by 5% for the one-year ending 12-3 1-03, which is the basis for projecting dues for the coming year. In looking at the Lipper returns for the year ending 12-31-03, it appears that member assets could be up by as much as 20-24%, which should put the dues estimate on the conservative side. Since the number of lost members resulting from the increase is unknown, management is proposing the conservative revenue calculation remain based on a 5% asset growth remain. The lost revenue calculation of$30,000 assumed the majority of dropped members would come from members in the $4 million asset category and below. With the new dues averaging $650 for this group a loss of $30,000 would mean a drop of 46 members. Based on the latest estimates the 396 members are broken down as follows: Categories Delinquent Un der $500,000 $500,000 - $1m $! -$2m $2-$4m $4-$6m $6-$8m $8-$ 10m $ 10-$20m $20-$40 $40-$60m $60-$80m $80-$ !00m $100-$200m $200-$400m $400-$600m $600-$800 $800-$ lb $ 1-$2b $2-$3b $3-$4b $4b+ Number Of Members 12 98 34 49 58 23 18 12 33 17 9 6 6 II 5 2 2 396 2004-05 Rates $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 300 500 900 1,100 1,400 1,700 2,300 3,000 4,700 6,300 7,200 8,400 9,600 12,900 16,200 20,000 24,000 30,000 36,000 45,000 80,000 �3 Note 2: Other Grants $65,000 of the 2003-04 amount is money from the State ofMichigan Tobacco Settlement grant which was eliminated for the year January 1 to December 31, 2004, due to the State budget crisis. This is the 5th year of a 20 year agreement which requires a yearly allocation from the State budget. Once the budget outlook for the State improves management is optimistic the annual funding will be renewed. Note 3: Conference & Meetings Income & Expense The increase from the prior year is due primarily to $6 1,000 in additional sponsorship money anticipated for the November 2004 Annual Conference in Dearborn, along with an increase in attendees. Catel!orv Full registrations Partial registrations Total Paid Actual November 2003 328 227 555 Sponsorship Revenue Actual 2003-04 $165,000 Projected November 2004 400 250 650 $21 ,000 of the increase is due to additional revenue from exhibitors, $10,000 of the increase is due to additional funds from the Johnson Educational Fund, with $30,000 budgeted as additional sponsorship. Note 4: Publications Income The increase from the prior year is due to the sales ofthe 14th Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory due for release in late 2004. The Directory is produced every other year. �4 Expenses Note 5: Wages & Benefits A 3% wage increase has been budgeted for 2004-05, which is in line with anticipated increases for other associations around the country. Faced with a 14% increase in health insurance premiums, management and staff carefully reviewed various cost saving options, settling on a change in the prescription drug coverage that reduced the overall increase to roughly 8%. For those employees who do not take advantage of the CMF provided health insurance coverage, management is proposing the reimbursement for those employees be increased from the current $1,500 to $1,620, which is equal to the 8% increase CMF is incurring for the health insurance premiums. The increase from the prior year is broken down as follows: 3% wage increase Health insurance premium increase Reduction in time spent on special projects: • Land Use Council • MSHDA • Tobacco Settlement • IDA Reduction in staff allocations to WKKF TV $19,000 11,000 26,000 16,000 Note 6: Postage & Supplies The increase from the prior year is due to shipping and supply costs associated with the 14th Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory that will go on sale in the fall of2004. Note 7: Equipment The increase from 2003-04 is due to anticipated equipment needs 2004-05, originally budgeted for 2003-04. Note 8: Technology With the CMF website becoming a larger part of communicating and providing resources to our members, additional time has been budgeted for the webmaster. Note 9: Association Dues The dues that are paid to the Forum ofRegional Associations ofGrantmakers are based on 1% of CMF' s core budget and thus accounts for $1,500 of the increase for 2004-05. �5 Note 10: Publications The increase from the prior year is primarily due to the 14t11 Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory, along with the communications consultant position which was filled in October 2003. The communications consultant is replacing the Director of Communications' position that became vacant in April 2003. 14t11 Edition Michigan Foundation Directory 12 months of Communications Consultant vs . 6 months in 03-04 Benefits postcards Member Benefits brochure Increase in Memo to Members from 2 to 4 per year Increase in Michigan Grantmaking Scene from 2 to 3 per year Early Childhood piece produced in March 2004 $50,000 22,000 4,000 2,600 7,000 5,600 (3,000) Note 11: Professional & Contracted Services The decrease from the prior year is due to the recent change in auditors which has reduced CMF's share of the annual audit fees by $9,300. The total audit fees are split between CMF, MAF, MCFV and the IDA project, which requires a separate audit due to the federal funds involved. Note 12: Staff Training & Registration Fees This category covers conference registrations fees for staff, along with professional development training costs. The increase from the prior year is due to the customer service/tolerance training budgeted for 2004-05. Note 13: Overhead Allocation In 2000-0 1 CMF established a policy of charging a 26% overhead rate to special projects, for infrastructure costs that are necessary to support those projects. Allocations for 2004-05 are: Tobacco Settlement IDA Project Learning to Give MAF $3,700 3,500 6,800 2,500 Since funding for the Tobacco Settlement was not renewed for the period 1-1-04 to 12-3 1-04, staff time for this project will primarily be in the area of monitoring and evaluation work. In accordance with the grant agreement a total of $189,000 in interest has been accumulated to this project. Some of these funds will be used to fund the staff time and evaluation work necessary in 2004-05. �6 Endowment Funds Investment Income for 2004-05 is budgeted at 5% based on our current asset mix of70% equities and 30% fixed income.

CMF receives a portion of those dollars to cover administrative expenses, with the majority being distributed to community foundations to establish Healthy Youth/Health Senior Funds for Michigan.

Advancing giving. Date: February 20, 2004 Memo to: Martin Taylor, Chair, and M embers of the Board of Trustees From: Lloyd J. Yeo, Chair Audit & F inance Committee David R. Lindberg RE: 12-3 1-03 Financial Statements RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the December 31, 2003, financial report as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. In reviewing the attached Core Operations financial report you will note we have projected a net surplus of $98,000. This is primarily due to Salaries and Benefits being less than budget along with the surplus generated from the Annual Conference being greater than anticipated. Core Operations Note 1: Member Contributions Based on the Membership Director's latest projection it appears the 2003-04 dues should come in at $733,000, which is in line with previous projections. Note 2: Conference Income & Expenses Thanks to the generous support of sponsors for the November 2003 Annual Conference, it appears the surplus will be close to $99,000. It is important to note that this surplus does not include most of CMF's staff time put into the conference. Final attendance figures were: Paid Comped- speakers & volunteers Full Registrations 328 45 373 Partial Registrations 227 105 332 Total 555 150 705 �2 Note 3: Wages & Benefits $45,000 of the favorable variance is due to Communication Director's position which was vacated in April 2003. $7,000 of the variance is due to the current Communications Associate wages being less than budget. This was a temporary position for the first three months of2003-04, without benefits. $4,500 of the variance is due to staff time charged to the MSHDA grant. The remaining variance is due to overtime and part-time help being less than budgeted. Note 4: Insurance The favorab le variance is due to the auto insurance being charged to the Travel line item, which is where all the other costs for company owned cars, such as the loan payments, gas and repairs are charged. Note 5: Computers By the end of March 2004 we anticipate this line item will be in line with the year end budget amounts. Major items that we anticipate to be purchased by March are: LCD Projectors Telecom Assessment On going Consulting support $5,000 5,000 15,000 Note 6: Publications/Communications CMF is currently in the process of re-examining its communications plan. Through this planning process we have contracted with a consultant to replace the Director of Communications position that was vacated in April 2003. While the number of Memos to Members and Michigan Grantmaking Scene issues produced will be less than budgeted, the hiring of a consultant in October will offset that variance, so that overall we anticipate this line item to end the year close to budget. When factoring in the budget amount for the Director of Communications position that falls under Wages line item, overall the communications costs will remain under budget for the year.

Advancing giving. Date: February 20, 2004 Memo to: Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Herbert (Ted) D. Doan Re: December 31, 2003 Investment Report Resolved that the December 31, 2003, Investment Report, as reviewed by the Investment Committee, be accepted. On February 17, 2004, the Investment Committee met to review the enclosed report. Overall U.S. stocks have rebounded nicely during the past year, with the endowment funds experiencing returns in the 25% range for the twelve months ending December 31, 2003. By diversifying the portfolio further into the Bank One High Yield Bond Fund and the Munder REIT Fund the returns have been further enhanced for the past twelve months. 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 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. Asset Class S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 REIT International Equities Short Bond Bond High Yield Bond Fund Cash Allocation 37% 9% 6% 5% 13% 12.5% 12.5% 5% 0% �2 The Lipper returns are based on the following asset classes. 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 CMF' s Vice President 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 the result of 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 In addition to the Lipper returns, the Investment Committee uses the Cambridge & Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations as a benchmark comparison. The release of this information typically takes two to three months, which is why this report lags by one quarter. 1:\Scuddington\ Board of Trustees\Mee tings 2004\March2.2004 Materia ls\lnvestmentRepo rt.doc �3 Council of Michigan Foundations Asset Allocation December 31 , 2003 lnv·estment Balance 12-31-03 Actual Asset Allocation Targeted Asset Allocation Operating Funds CMF Operating Fund $5,036,791 100% 100% MCFYP Operating & Special Projects $1,636,314 100% 100% $445,030 100% 100% -3.7% 28.6% 75.0% 100.0% 0% 30% 70% 100% Michigan AIDS Fund Note: All operating funds are invested in money market accounts.

Advancing giving. February 23, 2004 Memo to: Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Libby Maynard, Co-Chair Government Relations Committee Rob Collier, President Re: Governme nt Relations Committee Report The purpose of this report is to r equest approval to update the Payout Study by Cambridge Associates for the years 1998-2002 and summarize activities at both the federal and state levels affecting philanthropy. I. Payout Study RESOLVED that CMF contract with Cambridge Associates to update the Payout Study for the years 1998-2002. Background The last year covered in the Payout Study was 1997. Questions have been asked about the impact of the three bear market years 2000-2002 on the payout of private foundations. In 2003 lhe n:: was gn:al inleresl by Mr. Zerbe am.l slaff of lhe House Ways and Means Committee to increase the Payout by private foundations through a change in the allowance of administrative expenses as part of the 5% Payout calculation. The compromise in the House version of the CARE Act will not measurably increase payout, but there is concern that this issue will become a priority for Mr. Zerbe again in 2005 due to the strong returns of the stock market at the e nd of2003. Therefore, with a $25,000 grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, CMF will have Cambridge Associates update the Payout Study for the five years 1998-2002. The update should be completed by Aprill , 2004. It will be posted on CMF 's website and shared with key partner organizations such as the Council on Foundations. II. Federal Issues Summary • The CARE Act - remains on procedural hold in the Senate, action in this Session not expected • The IRA Charitable Rollover - no action expected on legislation separate from the CARE Act to move this issue • Hearings on the Nonprofit Sector - expected, but possibly not until 2005 �Government Relations Report February 23, 2004 Page 2 Background Twenty-one members joined staff for the Annual Foundations on the Hill visit February 3 & 4, 2004. Despite the challenges of Ricin closing the Senate office buildings, bad weather, mechanical problems with a plane, and an unplanned joint session of Congress with the President of Spain, we were able to meet with 12 of the 15 Representatives, staff of the remaining three, and to have Senator and Mrs. Carl Levin join us for dinner. It was significant to have Representatives Kilpatrick, Conyers and Dingell also join us for remarks during our dinner. We had a phone conversation with Senator Stabenow upon our return from Washington. Members of the Michigan Delegation remain supportive of the CARE Act and our two priorities it contains: the IRA Charitable Rollover and simplification of the excise tax on private foundations. The Senate and House versions of the CARE Act both contain the IRA Charitable Rollover. The House Version alone contains the excise tax provision. The CARE Act remains on hold by the Senate Democrats waiting for assurance that the Republican leadership will not add more provisions to the Act in the Conference Committee process, like they did with the Medicaid Bill. Senator Stabenow noted that the Pension Bill now going through the Conference Committee process will be an important test to determine if the Senate is going to be able to move legislation this year. Both of our priorities remain in the President's budget, and Senator Grassley, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, has indicated that passage of the CARE Act is one of his priorities for this session of Congress. However, Representative Camp is not optimistic that the CARE Act will be passed in this session. In addition to having to resolve the differences between the House and Senate versions, the Senate must deal with the loss of planned offsets to pay for the tax cuts in the CARE Act. There is no interest in either the Senate or the House to move legislation just on the IRA Charitable Rollover at this time. There is consensus by lobbyists that Dean Zerbe, head of the Senate Finance Committee for Senator Grassley, will call for Hearings on three issues: the Nature Conservancy and its purported abuse of land transactions; the General Accounting Office report on the abuse in the donation of used vehicles to charities; and on excess compensation and self-dealing by private foundations. However, because of the concerns over the President's budget, the hearings my not be able to be scheduled by May. Mr. Zerbe would likely try in 2005 to hold Hearings, but with the passing of time the enthusiasm wanes by members of the Senate Finance Committee to take on these three issues. III. State Issues Summary • Tobacco Settlement Partnership - zeroed out of the 2004 budget, no funds budgeted in 2005 • Michigan IDA Partnership - Legislative interest to add to FIA budget for 2005 �Government Relations Report February 23, 2004 Page 3 Background The Governor's staff have expressed an interest in allocating funds to the community foundations through CMF using the revenues to be generated by the proposed increase in the state tobacco tax. There is not interest at this time in continuing to use tobacco settlement fund or interest earned on these funds for this four-year old initiative. Meetings are ongoing with the Governor' s policy advisors. CMF staff have met with Representative Kooiman, Chair of the House FIA Allocation Committee, and new FIA Director, Marianne Udow, to discuss progress with the Michigan IDA Partnership. There is consensus to add an allocation for the Partnership to the FIA budget for $200,000 a year for each of the next five years. Meetings are ongoing on this issue as well. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. Guiding Principles Adopted November 10, 2003 by the CMF Board of Trustees as a condition of membership Michigan is blessed with a tradition of philanthropic giving. This is demonstrated in part by the more than 2,000 family, independent, community and corporate foundations documented in the 13111 Edition of The Michigan Foundation Directory, published in 2002 by the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) with the Foundation Center ofNew York. These fou ndations are vital partners with the public, private and nonprofit sectors in strengthening the quality of life for all Michigan residents. This tradition continues in our state every month with the creation of new foundations and community foundation donor-advised funds. Foundations are recognized as tax exempt 50l(c)(3) charitable organizations in the federal government's Internal Revenue Code. It is the charitable nature oftheir purpose that allows for this tax status. Thus foundation trustees and foundation staff need to be both conscientious and well informed. CMF and its members recognize that all Michigan foundations with this 50 I (c)(3) status must be accountable to federal and state laws and to the responsibilities ofbeing a fiduciary and of tax exemption. It is imperative that foundation trustees be fami liar with all federal and state legal requirements, including the annual filing of990 PF and 990 reports and such subjects as the private foundation payout, excise tax and self-dealing. Legal counsel should be consulted if there are questions about applicable state and federal laws. The CMF Board of Trustees has adopted the following Guiding Principles as a condition of membership, in recognition of the need for all foundations to strive to maintain the public trust in fulfilling their respective charitable purposes. Members are asked to endorse these Guiding Principles that set forth ideals for each member to work to achieve and demonstrate in the operations of their foundations. The Guiding Principles address the question often asked by the public - What do foundations stand for? I. Adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior in all foundation actions. 2. Honor donor(s) intent. 3. Have an identifiable active governing Board- a decision-making body that sets and regularly reviews policies on: governance, including conflict of interest; grantmaking; finance and administration, including audit; and communications. 4. Be accessible by having basic grantmaking information readily available regarding funding priorities and application requirements. 5. Build constructive r elationships based on mutual respect, candor, confidentiality and understanding with the public, applicants, grantees and donors. 6. Strive to include the perspectives, opinions and experiences of the broadest possible crosssection of people to inform the foundation through its grantmaking, through the composition of its board, committees, staff and advisors/consultants and through its business practices. 7. Support continuous learning by trustees, staff and grantees. Ifyou have any questions or concerns regarding the Guiding Principles, please contact Rob Collier at 616.842. 7080. �CMF Council of M ichiga n Foundations Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving. Suggestions on Effective Practices for Implementing the Guiding Principles The CMF Board of Trustees recognizes that there are different approaches to implementation of each of the Guiding Principles - highlighted in BOLD. Therefore, examples of effective practices are presented that have proven to be beneficial to grantmakers in achieving each Principle. Because some of these practices are unique to specific types of grantmakers, grantmakers should adapt the practices that best suit their operational requirements. Intended to be instructional, these practices are updated regularly in order to share what works well for grantmakers. Other examples of practices and materials to implement each Principle are available from CMF. Additional examples are always welcome. 1. Adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior in all foundation actions Adopt a code of ethics, by committing to: • • • • • • • • Act honestly, truthfully, consistently and with integrity and independence in all transactions and dealings, Avoid conflicts of interest and the inappropriate handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest in relationships, Treat grantees fairly and treat every individual with dignity and respect, regardless of such factors as race, religion, gender and sexual preference, Treat employees with respect, fairness and good faith and provide conditions of employment that safeguard their rights and welfare, Act responsibly toward the communities in which the foundation works and for the benefit of the communities the foundation serves, Be responsible, transparent, and accountable for all actions taken in the public's interest, Improve the accountability, transparency, ethical conduct and effectiveness of the grantmaking field, and Work to improve the understanding of philanthropy, its appropriate application and potential consequences. 2. Honor donor(s) intent Provide all trustees with copies of the documents creating the foundation/fund and any other written correspondence, which details the donor's goals and expectations for the foundation. Have donor(s) talk with the board about their goals and expectations their purpose in creating the charitable foundation- ideally videotaping the conversation for future reference and generations. State the donor's intent in every annual report and other appropriate foundation publications. �Suggestions on Effective Practices Page2 If our changing society makes following the donor's specific instructions impractical, find related alternative grantmaking goals that reasonably honor the donor's intent. 3. Have an identifiable active governing Board - a decision-making body that sets and regularly reviews policies on: governance, including conflict of interest; grantmaking; finance and administration, including audit; and communications Qualifications to consider for board members include: • • • • • • • agreeability with the stated purposes of the Foundation/Donor, wi llingness 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 willingness to become informed Orient new board members to their responsibilities by sharing the three duties of care, loyalty, and obedience, as well as copies of bylaws and other organizational documents, adopted policies, examples of grants and communication tools such as annual reports. If trustee compensation is provided, consider the appropriateness of fees in relation to responsibilities, time commitment and the federal guidelines for public charities on intermediate sanctions and rebuttal presumption. Administrative expenses for effective grantmaking should be based on regional and national surveys and not be excessive or disproportionate to the amounts spent directly for grants and technical assistance to grantees. A conflict of interest policy to ensure that personal interests of board members and staff do not conflict with the foundation's mission and purpose may include: • • • Disclosure of organizational affiliations with grantees, potential grantees or other constituents or vendors with whom the foundation does business, Procedures for decision-making when a board member or employee has a real or perceived conflict of interest, Policies on acceptance of honorariums from a grantee or a potential grantee. Adopt mechanisms, such as grant agreement letters, required progress reports, and evaluation tools to assess progress in achieving grantmaking objectives. Establish a process for the regular review of the board's performance as a body and of each trustee individually. 4. Be accessible by having basic grantmaking information readily available regarding funding priorities and application requirements �Suggestions on Effective Practices Page3 Select and publicize the name and contact information for the foundation's primary contact person Provide a full and clear description ofthe foundation's grantmaking priorities through a print or electronic brochure that should include: • • • • • • • • • mission and goals, program interests, funding priorities and any restrictions on what is supported, geographic limitations, preferred fonnat for applications, application deadlines and the process for acknowledging receipt of requests dates and process for notifying applicants of a decision a list of grants made in the previo11s year, policies and practices for multi-year funding, and average size and range of grants made. Produce an annual report with fonnat, detail and dissemination appropriate to the size and complexity of the foundation, including: • names ofboard members, • names and titles of officers, • listing of staff, • grants for the fiscal year • grantmaking priorities and application process, • summary of audited financial infom1ation, and • contact infonnation for the foundation. Make infonnation available to the Foundation Center and CMF, in order that the grantmaker's goals and priorities may be published in appropriate public foundation directories. 5. Build constructive relationships based on mutual respect, candor, confidentiality and understanding with the public, applicants, grantees and donors Share with the public the grantmaking priorities of the foundation and respond promptly to all requests for information. Use a postcard or email message to promptly acknowledge receipt of a proposal. Send a timely denial letter to iliose applicants that are unsuccessful and where appropriate indicate a willingness to discuss with ilie applicant why the proposal has been turned down. Include in the grant award letter payment procedures, reporting requirements and the nature of any monitoring that will take place. �Suggestions on Effective Practices Page4 Inform grantees when their pictures or products will be featured in a foundation publication, website or other communications tool. Advise grantees, applicants and the public, w ithin a reasonable period of time, on significant changes in grantmaking priorities or procedures. 6. Strive to include the perspectives, opinions and experiences of the broadest possible cross-section of people to inform the foundation through its grantmaking, through the composition of its board, committees, staff and advisors/consultants and through its business practices Consider the demographics of the geographic area served when nominating board members, hiring staff and selecting consultants. Adopt a policy to support minority and women owned vendors and vendors that have hiring and training practices that aid under represented groups. Invite grantees and other community representatives to help with a periodic review of grantmaking priorities. Appoint youth grantmakers ages 16 and 17 as voting board members, now being done by community foundations since the 1998 passage of Public Act 444 in Michigan. 7. Support continuous learning on the part of trustees, staff and grantees Invite grantees to share lessons learned from -projects at a foundation board meeting Have trustees and staff participate in site visits to grantees and current or potential applicants Invite other grantmakers to participate in board/staff retreats or learning exchanges Participate in local or regional geographic meetings of grantmakers to exchange ideas and hear from informed speakers. Encourage trustees and staff to annually attend one grantrnaking educational conference or internet based training. Join organized support groups, such as your regional association of grantmakers (CMF), Council on Foundations, Independent Sector,. Philanthropy Roundtable, National Network of Grantmakers, and one of the many affinity groups of grantmakers dealing with issues of concern to the foundation 's grantmaking. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

During February the LTG staff worked with 15 Indiana teachers to recode all of the LTG lesson plans to the Indiana Department of Education Standards. The Indiana coded versions of the lessons will be completed by the LTG-Indiana summer institute June 14-18. LTG-Indiana is searching for a full-time director. Two schools have been recruited. Publish a guidebook for other states on bringing LTG to their state GVSU has established a common web-site for the partners in theLTG-Michigan effort to post insights gained in working through this university partnership with LTG. During the summer of 2004, LTG staff will begin to cull these insights for the writing of a LTG manual for potential university partners. C. Muskegon Intermediate School District (MAISD) Model Muskegon County schools teaching LTG at each grade level Muskegon County recruitment continues. Reeths-Puffer schools have developed a graduate course offered in partnership between LTG, the MAISD, and GVSU to provide extended LTG professional development to their teachers for credit. �Learning to G ive Report February 23, 2004 Page 3 The MAISD received two grants in partnership with LTG. One brings LTG and service-learning to students expelled from school. The second brings together the MAISD, LTG, and GVSU to develop a model ISD-higher education partnership on service-learning. Document lessons learned for this model The first report on lessons learned has been completed and sent to the Michigan Community Service Commission. Goal 2: Integrate LTG into state teacher credentialing systems in Indiana and Michigan A.

Goa13: Web-site Development A. Implement a modular online self-paced course for teachers The initial story-board for the first two modules of the online tutorial is underway. A 2004 schedule to complete the online tutorial has been set with Michigan State University. The plan is to establish eight-30 minute modules. B. Continue development of the standardized tests The standardized test questions are being used with students spring semester 2004 to test readability and clarity. They are a lso being used as a pre-test in the CHESP schools-new to teaching LTG. Final validated tests with grading keys will be completed on schedule. C. E nhancements to the Web-site We have met with the MSU design team, completed the contract negotiations, and plotted the work for the next two years. The following components will be added, along with regular maintenance of our current work (lessons, papers etc). �Learning to G ive Report February 23, 2004 Page 5 Add new " rooms" to the web-site Web-site Redesign (Completed in calendar 2004) Moving to a database format for all of the lessons and total edit/redesign of the site Addition of teacher comments to the bottom of each lesson Place Indiana coded lessons on the web-site Lessons Available by Individual State Standards (Completed June 2004) Redesign will allow us to do the same for other states Online Teacher Tutorial Online self-paced tutorial (eight/30-minute stand alone modules-Completed 2004) For youth workers on how to use the lessons Youth Room (Completed in calendar 2005) Community Partnerships with Youth (CPY) is editing 16 LTG units (four at each grade level) for youth workers. They are also writing directions for youth workers regarding how to use the LTG units. We remain in communication with National Assembly of Health and Human Service Organizations regarding the links once this room is operational. This will link LTG with many major national youth organizations. NCSS Portal (Completed in calendar 2004) We will meet with NCSS this spring to finalize the portal between NCSS and LTG's web-site. This will give us easy access to many of the nation's social studies teachers. For parents on how to assist their children-translate into Spanish Parents Room (Completed in calendar 2005) We will transfer our Family Foundation publication infonnation to this site. This room will be translated and will also be available in Spanish. Student rooms (grades 6-9 and 10-12) Student Rooms (Completed by 2005) K-5 allows for posting of materials, pictures etc. We will pre-screen all materials 6-12 online "game" with simple interaction, plus the ability to post. For religious educators on how to use the lessons Religious Perspectives (Completed by 2006) We are collecting religious perspectives information including: Jewish perspectivesbriefing papers and lesson plans: and audio tape of religious leaders from a variety of perspectives collected at the Ferris summer residential classes For community leaders interested in bringing LTG to their schools Community Room (Completed by 2006) How to bring LTG to your community Implement the online book club-Completed with Amazon partnership �Learning to G ive Report February 23, 2004 Page 6 B. Continued placement of core LTG teaching materials Units and lessons created in each state during summer institutes-ongoing Briefing papers created in each state by graduate students-ongoing Completion/update of the online order form for materials-completed Placement of the newsletter-ongoing Web-site Overview "User sessions", a conservative estimate of the use of the web-site, are roughly doubling in comparative months each year. In December 2003, the LTG Web-site reached a new high at nearly 29,000 user sessions for the month. Learning to Give Web Site Number of User Sessions Per Sample Month (Years 2000-2003 YTD) 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 Goal 4: Sustain Philanthropy Education Sustaining the Web-site Complete modest national partnerships with National Assembly of Health and Human Service Organizations and continue the partnership with the National Council for the Social Studies to build traffic to the Web-site. NAHHSO partnership is contingent on completing the LTG Youth Worker Room. A meeting with the NCSS is scheduled for spring 2004 to continue conversations on linking the web-sites and working in a joint venture partnership. �Learning to Give Report February 23, 2004 Page 7 Teacher Professional Development Mini-grants to education professors to begin the process of infusing LTG into pre-service education undergraduate courses-mini-grants are supplied by the Dorothy A. Johnson Center at GVSU for their professors. Three professors are currently making curricular changes. ru has not yet started this phase. M.Ed.-second year on a tuition basis with some tuition-splitting revenue returning to LTG-program is building and tuition-splitting has not yet started. University Leadership of LTG CMF meet with regional funders-GVSU and IU have raised funds from regional grantmakers Provide GVSU and IU with challenge grants-Three-year challenges given and completed. Continue discussions with National Advisory Committee member universities regarding funding from regional sources-ongoing LTG Leadership:Steering Committee; National Advisory Committee-ongoing Commercialization/Non-grant Revenue/Sustainability Develop a business plan for sustainability: Begin work with the National Center on Nonprofit Enterprise The National Council for Nonprofit Enterprise has encountered problems in scheduling their consultation on sustainability. There is a possibility a meeting might still occur this spring. Underwriting of Materials Development (Sponsorships) lEG Corporate Sponsorship Consultation In the meantime, CMF has retained for Learning to Give lEG, a national sponsorship consulting fim1, lEG will audit LTG holdings and develop a market value for each component as well as a "high end" packaging of the components. In addition, they will provide LTG with a list of corporations whose sponsorship interests most closely align with LTG properties and will draft a model corporate sponsorship proposal. The audit will be received by June 2004. lEG continues to consult with LTG on corporate sponsorships. National references ofiEG indicate they have an excellent reputation with corporate sponsors who consider their property evaluation to be a "gold standard." We are hopeful this strategy may result in long-term financial relationships for LTG. Family Foundation Lessons .and Briefing Papers LTG is pursuing proposals with family foundations to honor their founders through the development of lesson plans and briefing papers. These new lesson plans build a pool of resources for students on how individual lives have contributed to the common good, and the revenue assists LTG in reaching the next generation. �Learning to G ive Report February 23, 2004 Page 8 Fund-raising During the fall, Learning to Give embarked on its first fund-raising campaign for gifts from individuals. In late October and early November, over 17,000 letters were sent to LTG supporters and to individuals w ho receive the newsletter. A 1:1 challenge grant of $30,000 was offered by two anonymous donors with a goal to raise the match, $30,000, by October 2004. A giving level for "Founding Donors" was established at $ 1,000. Progress made to-date: (A list of founding donors are attached) $36,017 Total gifts and pledges: Total number of gifts: 64 Total number of founding gifts: 15 The goal for the matching challenge grants has been achieved. The fund-raising will continue to additional audiences during the year to assist us in building a base and reaching new supporters. The LTG staffhas given 100%. A secondary goal has been established to gain support from 75% of the individuals closely involved with LTG. Communication will continue with the current donors. The fund-raising calendar begins again in the fall of 2004. Online book club Amazon.com Associates Program In October, LTG enrolled in an Amazon.com Associates Program. A ll sales of books from the LTG web-site through Amazon result in a financial credit. Each time the credit grows to $25 LTG receives a check. To-date $13 has been raised this way. As teachers prepare for fall and there is further time to promote this feature, it is hoped that there will be a continuing, modest, level of revenue. Marketing and sales of special interest packages of lessons, briefing papers, quotations, and classroom accessories African-American Lessons/Briefing Papers/Quotations/Posters The African-American educational binders of materials at grades K-5, 6-8, and 9-12 have been completed and distributed to the target list of schools supported by a grant from the Conununity Foundation for Southeastern Michigan. An overprint run of 100 binders and posters at each grade level are in stock. The publicity brochure has recently been sent to potential purchasers and is included in your packet. Women's Package (funding to be raised) LTG is mailing proposals for the Women's Philanthropy binders. Civic E ngagement Package: Environmental Stewardship: and Arts and Philanthropy-funding to be raised for each Grade Level Bundling of All LTG Lessons Background editing needed to allow the bundling of all of the lessons by grade level has been completed. These w ill be available for sale by late spring.

The cards featured student artwork submitted as a part of their Learning to Give lesson. The results of the sales were minimal at $200 net. Fortunately, LTG can access on-demand printing so there is no excess inventory. Plans are underway to develop sets of generic cards based on student art. LTG is exploring their sale through independently owned card shops and bookstores in the area. Current Grants LTG 's work is currently supported by the following grants: W.K.

This memo summarizes the findings . A copy of the Zoomerang survey with total results is included in the back packet of the March 2 Trustee Book. Who R esponded? See Table One for more detail. • • 37% of members (146 of397 total members) responded to the Survey. Surveys are still being received. 68% of the surveys were completed by a CEO /President/Exec. Director, 9% by Trustees, and the remainder by VP/Programs (5%), Program and Financial Officers (3% each), and others (13%).

"extremely pleased" " invaluable", "terrific" and "best regional association!" • 18% offered specific suggestions for improvement ranging from an annual event in the U.P., to peer-to-peer networking in West Michigan. • 49% of respondents are very familiar, 40% are moderately familiar and 10% are not familiar with their member benefits. In FY04, CMF will increase efforts to educate all members about their benefits in support of member retention and recruitment goals. What Products, Services & Resources Do Members Use & Value? Education & Networking Programs See Table Three for more detail Over 80% of respondents participate in and find CMF education and networking programs excellent or satisfactory. 64'Yo attend Public Policy Briefings and find them excellent or satisfactory indicating the relevance and quality of this member service added less than two years ago. To measure member interest in education programs planned for FY04, CMF asked members to indicate if they would or might attend programs on accountability, advanced governance, public policy, investments, and technology planning. 65% of respondents said yes or maybe to Accountability and Investments- the highest ratings. Public Policy received the lowest rating of the program offerings at 56% . The public policy rating indicates the importance of the Public Policy Committees commitment to raising awareness and capacity in th is important area. Reconfirming their willingness to use the Internet, 64% of respondents said offering more programs via the web would increase the value of CMF membership. 75% said someone from their organization would or might participate in such programs. 13% of respondents would not participate due to hardware/software or lack of comfort. These findings support increasing program delivery via the web and adding technology training to help members develop a greater comfort level with technology - priorities of the new Plan of Work. Our goals for expanding use of the web are to increase access and decrease costs. F inally, 53% of respondents would welcome the addition of a Mentor Program for New Grantmakers, an activity that will be explore with the Fetzer Institute and the Grantmaking School in 2004. �TABLE THREE - PROGRAMS, SERVICES & RESOURCES Overall Satisfaction with Ser vice Fully Agree Somewhat Agree Disagree • Is a valuable contributor to success of phil. in MI 1% o Has my organization's best interests in mind 2% o I never hesitate to contact CMF for info/service 3% Program, Service, Resource Education Programs Networking Events Public Policy Briefings Accounting Clarification Lega l Referrals/Info Sample Documents Lending Library Researchllnfo Service News clipping Service Frequency of Use Often Sometimes 26% 62% 26% 55% 14% 50% 42% 17% 12% 38% 17% 56% 2% 36% 9% 53% 83% 13% 75% 20% 78% 13% Level of Satisfaction Excellent Satisfactory Poor 59% 29% 0% 27% 2% 53% 42% 22% 0% 30% 22% 0% 29% 0% 18% 43% 29% 0% 28% 19% 0% 35% 24% 1% not asked 27% NEW (ADDED SINCE 2002) Redesigned Website 48% 44% Monthly E-News Member Alerts (HIPAA, HR7, etc.) 47% Group Health/D&O Insurance, COBRA Admin 4% 37% Secure on-line Event Registrat.ion 31% 28% 40% 32% 12% 22% 7% 1% 1% 1% 2% 0% Information Services See Table Three for 1nore detail.

In FY04, CMF will explore the feas ibility of enhancing legal services to better serve members. 7% of respondents rated the news clipping service as poor, 5% higher than any other such rating for a CMF program or service. The FY04 Plan of Work calls for exploring the feasibility of developing an automated, searchable database of news clippings to get significantly more value from this resource. Our goals are to be able to track issues and regions receiving the most coverage and the quality of reporting. �In response to questions about the value of new information services, 64% of respondents were very positive about CMF adding a sear chable database of member gr ants. 54% would like us to add Grants Application Automation Assistance.

Fewer respondents (74'Yo) have that level of concern about media scrutiny. These findings support planned increased coverage of accountability and public policy in CMF programs and publications in 2004. Finally, 44% of respondents expect their 2004 giving to increase and 48% anticipate it will remain steady. Only 6% (corporate funders) expect it to decrease. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. February 23, 2004 Memo to: Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members ofthe Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: 2004-05 Plan of Work and Budget cc: Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President and COO David Lindberg, Vice President Finance & Administration I am pleased to enclose the proposed Plan of Work for the fiscal year starting April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2005. The Plan of Work has been prepared under the leadership of Vicki Rosenberg, Chief Operating Officer, with significant input by all Program Directors, Dave Lindberg and me. Vicki will lead the presentation of the Strategic Plan Update, which includes highlights ofboth this year and planned activities from the Plan of Work for the new year, at the March 2 Board Meeting. RESOLVED: That the Plan of Work for 2004-05, as recommended by the Executive Committee, be approved. Priorities This memo presents management's priorities for the new fiscal year in relationship to the eight metrics of the Strategic Plan. The news is not new, in terms of the environment for philanthropy. The issues identified last year remain as important as ever, namely: • • • 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 competition in the philanthropic infrastructure at a time of diminished support from national infrastructure funders. While the stock market has had a dramatic upturn since April, it will still take some time for our members to be able to rebound to the asset size they were at in 1999. No one anticipated the onslaught of bad press that began in April with the story on the Irvine Foundation. This has intensified the scrutiny by Members of Congress, and hearings are now threatened for later this spring. And two of the national infrastructure foundations, Atlantic Philanthropies and the Packard Foundation, have withdrawn their support for the type of work done by regional associations of grantmakers, such as CMF. �2004-05 Plan of Work and Budget Memo February 23, 2004 Page 2 Thus the five priorities identified last year are still very relevant, and we only recommend a change in priority three for the new fiscal year. I . Member Retention We fmd ourselves with the same challenge as last year. Membership retention continues to be at an 85% level with 55 unpaid members as we enter the final 90 days of the fiscal year. We are making personal calls to these members and look forward to discussing at the Board Meeting how CMF Trustees can assist in retention efforts. As we implement a dues increase and Guiding Principles as a condition of membership, this is a year when one-on-one communication with members is vital. 2. Membership Recruitment Membership growth continues at the same rate as last year with 12 new members. The recruitment strategy this year will focus on four tactics: individual visits with foundations on the targeted list of 83 foundations - each with assets exceeding one million dollars; follow-up with the more than 100 new foundations started in 2002 and 2003 and recipients of membership information; one-on-one meetings with targeted advisors (I look forward to the help of CMF Trustees with several of these meetings); and personal calls by family foundation members to targeted family foundations. While the number of foundations continues to grow in Michigan, the size tends to be under one million dollars in assets, so the targeted list has not grown in size in the last several years. 3. Coordinated Marketing of Educational Opportunities We are proposing that this priority for 2004 become: to make accountability a central theme in our educational activities on the core competencies of governance, finance, administration, grantmaking and communications- the competencies identified in the Strategic Plan. You will note in Vicki's Strategic Plan Update that we are proposing several new tactics for focusing our educational activities on accountability and targeting Board Chairs and Advisors. With your approval I intend to promote a series on Accountability for Advisors with the Trusts and Estates Section of the Bar Association. 4. A Helpful Regulatory Environment for Philanthropy This priority has consumed about 25% of my time in 2003. And we have two positive results to share. On the State level, we now have a Nonprofit Council to the Charitable Trusts Section of the Attorney General - the first of its type in the nation we have been told. With the leadership of Representative Camp on the House Ways and Means Committee, CMF played a vital role in insuring that the proposed elimination of administrative expenses in the payout calculation as part ofH.R. 7 did not advance in the Committee. While not satisfied with the proposed compromise approved by the House, our field can live with it. Because the number of negative articles continues to grow, and H.R. 7 - the CARE Act - is stuck in the Senate, this area will continue to be a high priority in 2004. �2004-05 Plan of Work and Budget Memo February 23, 2004 Page 3 5. Strengthening our Internal Infrastructure We are now midway through the three-year technology plan identified in the Strategic Plan as the top priority for strengthening CMF. Initial feedback on the new website has been very positive. The shared network spaces that will become operational this year for a number of CMF Committees and Task Forces have great potential to strengthen the value of membership. We look forward to showing you this technology at the March 2 Board Meeting. Strategic Plan Metrics By March 31, 2005 our goal is to measure success in achieving the objectives of the Strategic Plan by the following eight metrics. These metrics are tied to each of the eight operational goals of CMF - advocate, educate, network, increase, lead, promote, membership, and governance & operations. In preparing the 2004-05 budget, the management team and directors had a productive discussion on several of these metrics. As a result, we are recommending modifications as noted below. Our discussions are ongoing, and we look forward to your counsel on these items. We may add additional metrics to this group that can better help capture the value that CMF adds to philanthropy in Michigan. There is consensus by the staff that these eight metrics do not capture all of CMF' s varied services to grantmakers or to advance giving. Advocate- To have 40% of members connected to state public officials. Recommended change- To connect 40% of the membership with state public officials. We feel that this Metric needs to assess activities that CMF is responsible for and thus propose this change in wording. Through the briefings offered by the Public Policy Committee and other activities such as Nonprofit Day conducted with the Michigan Nonprofit Association, we are well on our way to achieving this Metric. Briefings scheduled for 2004 in the Plan of Work should help to increase the number of members we connect with state public officials. Educate & Networking - To have 60% of members participate in CMF networking and education programs. In reviewing the activities for 2003, we can report that the percentage is now 42%. In order to break 50% this year, we are proposing to offer more educational activities by web-based conference calls, such as the Building Accountability Series for Community Foundations currently underway. This series of three over subscribed conference calls will involve nearly every one of the 56 community foundation members and their affiliates in the State. I am hopeful that the proposed Accountability Series for Board Chairs will also involve more members. Increase - To help create 70 new foundations, corporate giving programs or community funds. Recommended Change- To annually assist 50 individuals, corporations or advisors in their consideration of the creation of new foundations, corporate giving programs or funds at community foundations. This change is being recommended because we realize that we do not have sufficient control or the means to document that our many contacts actually result in the creation of foundations. We know that with some of these contacts it can take years for a foundation to be created. We will continue our consultation service for individuals, families and corporations as well as strengthening our activities with advisors in the new Plan of Work. �2004-05 Plan of Work and Budget Memo February 23, 2004 Page 4 Lead- To leverage $1 for every $1 committed by members to a public-private partnership administered by CMF. We continue to track progress on the Michigan IDA Partnership against this metric. Fourteen members have now contributed more than $2.1 million, an increase from $1.475 million reported last year to match the $3.1 million from the State. It is exciting to note that these public and private investments have now leveraged more than $11 million in new mortgages for 226 new homeowners. Promote- To develop quantitative data about philanthropy's impact in Michigan. Note- Staff are working on an alternative Metric for the Promotion Goal that ties more to the contacts CMF has with the media in promoting philanthropy. While the needed software changes have been made by the vendors, progress has been slower than I would like on the Community Foundation Database Project. I still hope that as it becomes operational in 2004, this Database will provide common data on the work of community foundations in at least ten issue areas, ranging from affordable housing to the arts. While the Database Project will provide quantitative data, it will not be able to provide qualitative data. Membership - To attain a 95% membership retention rate. As noted earlier in this memo, this Metric is averaging 85% for each of the past two years- an unacceptable rate. The combination of dues increase and Guiding Principles as a condition of membership make it an even tougher goal in 2004. Membership- To recruit 35 new members a year. We are also behind on this Metric with new membership averaging 14 for each of the past two years. As noted above, the four tactics will help us tackle this issue of attracting new members from a potential pool that is not growing in measurable assets. Governance & Operations - To have 95% of the membership rate CMF membership as valuable. The Biennenial Membership Survey completed by 146 of397 members in January indicates that 68% rate their overall satisfaction as with membership as excellent and 30% rating it as satisfactory. Further information on the results of this Membership Survey is summarized in the attached document prepared by Vicki Rosenberg. The five priorities for the new fiscal year and the update on the Metric Indicators for the Strategic Plan as summarized above provide a framework for the Strategic Plan Update that introduces the proposed Plan of Work for 2004-05. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Change title of the Nominating Committee to governance/trustee development. The Committee can help grow the B oard (cultivates, identifies, orients & recruits new Trustees). The role of the Committee is to help rotate the Board (serves as the conscience of the Board) . The Conunittee could help set up a B oard education program and/or suggest a board self-assessment process using the BoardSource template. Committee recommendation - The Committee agrees that the name of the Committee be changed to Governance without changing the title of the Committee in the bylaws. The Committee further recommends that staff present a recommended self-assessment tool to the Board using the BoardSource template.

Porter, President Rive r City Foundation, Rockford Judy Betz, Secretary Samaritan Foundation, Grand Rapids Judith A. DeLapa, President �Board ofTntstees Meeting Minutes - November I 0, 2003 Page 7 Government Relations Committee Committee Co-Chair Libby Maynard acknowledged the work ofCMF on moving the CARE Act, H.R. 7 forward in our favor. She noted that Congressman Camp was the principal negotiator with Chainnan Thomas, and CMF will recognize Representative Camp at the Annual Dinner in Washington in February. The compromise worked out with Mr. Camp's leadership has been approved by the House and is on-hold in the Senate. Action is now not expected until early in 2004. Rob Collier reviewed the Legislative Goals Statement, a copy of which is attached, noting the addition of two new goals and updating the current goals that are impacted by the CARE Act. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the CMF Legislative Goals Statement for 2003 be approved as presented in the attached document. In addition, Mr. Collier and Mr. Tarnacki reported on a recent meeting with Attorney General Mike Cox, joined by Bill Richardson, President of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation; Kari Schlachtenhaufen, President of The Skillman Foundation; Allan Ott, President of the Gerstacker Foundation; Dottie Johnson, Trustee of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and Mark Hooper, Chair-Elect of the Capital Region Community Foundation.They noted that the Attorney General asked about issues affecting the future of philanthropy in Michigan, and the issues of technology and intergenerational transfer of wealth to fami ly members living throughout the country were shared as two issues. Public Policy Committee Vicki Rosenberg highlighted recent activities of the Public Policy Committee, explaining that 19 sessions at the Annual Conference focus on the six priority issues and that Public Policy was covered at the Institute for New Grantmakers in September. She noted that CMF continues to serve as the fiscal agent for the Communications Phase of the Land Use Leadership Council and that a report from the Foundation Liaison is included in the Board materials. Ms. Rosenberg reported that the Public Policy Committee is partnering with the Foundation Liaison and the Family Foundations Be Ready By Five Study Group on an April Forum on Early Childhood for funders and policymakers. She introduced Public Policy Fellow Brian Flahaven, who presented an introduction to the Working with Government section of the CMF website. Principles & Practices Task Force Chair Campbell welcomed Peter Karoff, Founding Chairman of The Philanthropic Initiative and speaker for both the Family Foundations Retreat and Annual Conference, to the meeting. Task Force Chair David Egner repotted that members met in July and by conference calls in August and September to update the 1997 CMF Principles and Practices document and consider if the document should become a condition of membership. �Board ofTntstees Meeting Minutes - November I 0, 2003 Page 8 Mr. Egner noted that both compliance with the laws and the charitable nature of philanthropy had been moved in the new version to the preamble. He added that there was consensus by the Task Force that the Guiding Principles should be treated separately from the Effectives Practices in considering the recommendation on condition of membership. In response to Chair Campbell, Mr. Karoff complimented CMF on the clarity of the document and on the importance of ethical behavior (Principle #7). He suggested moving it to# 1. It was noted that the Minnesota Council on Foundations is the only other regional association of grantmakers that now requires principles as a condition of membership, in addition to the Council on Foundations. Ms. Maynard commented that requiring the Guiding Principles as a condition of membership is an important step in answering the questions from Washington about what we are doing to promote effective and ethical philanthropy. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Guiding Principles and Effective Practices document as attached, with the revision of moving Guiding Principle #7 to Guiding Principle #1, be adopted, and RESOLVED further that the Guiding Principles become a condition of membership in the Council of Michigan Foundations effective 2004. Family Philanthropy Committee Chair Julie Cununings noted that the Fifth Annual Family Foundations Retreat, November 8-9 was a huge success and gave special thanks to Trustee Peg Thompson and her husband, David, for hosting a dinner buffet at their home on Saturday night. She added that an August reception for 40 family foundation members was held at her home in Charlevoix. She commented on the work of the Be Ready by Five Study Group and CMF's collaboration with the Ohio Grantmakers Forum on the development of a national regional association newsletter for family foundations. Ms. Cummings also announced that a special family foundations study trip to Florida is currently being planned for next winter. Learning to Give Russ Mawby, Chair of the Learning to Give Steering Committee, welcomed Betsy Stover as the newest Committee Board Member. He commended the efforts of Executive Director Kathy Agard and her staff and noted additional funding received from the Lilly Endowment, Michigan Community Service Commission, and the Howmet Fund of the Alcoa Foundation resulting in positive revisions to the plan of work for the year. Dr. Mawby reminded Trustees that each would be receiving a letter from him with an opportunity to support Learning to Give. Ms. Agard c01mnented that the number of school districts involved has increased in Indiana thanks to the funding from Lilly and that there are more than 600 lesson plans on the web. In addition, agreement with Grand Valley State University on a three-year �Board ofTntstees Meeting Minutes - November I 0, 2003 Page 9 partnership has been reached and their fundraising efforts are going well. She highlighted the new African American Legacy posters and materials provided to each Trustee and also noted the entrepreneurial fund development efforts through the sale of two Holiday cards developed by students. President's Report Rob Collier encouraged Trustees to attend the December 8 Detroit Area Grantmakers Meeting which will feature Susan Berresford of the Ford Foundation and Trustee Bill Richardson speaking on accountability. He thanked Mr. Doan for serving as host for an October 7 funders briefing on venture capital. Mr. Collier also introduced Mike Gallagher, CMF's new editorial manager, who will be interviewing several Trustees throughout the Conference for CMF publications. He also noted the launching of the CMF Board space on the website which will have the Board materials available for downloading for the March 2 Board Meeting.

Advancing giving. June 1, 2004 TAB 7 Memo to: S. Martin Taylor, Chair and Members ofthe Board ofTmstees From: David Egner, Chair, Principles and Practices Task Force Rob Collier, President Re: Education and Compliance Policy At the request by the Board ofTmstees, the Principles and Practices Task Force met by conference call on April 23 to consider adoption of policies on two issues: response to allegations of inappropriate institutional conduct by Michigan foundations and tmstee compensation. As a result of our conference call, the following two policies are presented for consideration. In presenting this first policy, the Task Force recognized that CMF has no legal authority or jurisdiction to take such actions, but is acting in the best interests of the field of organized philanthropy in Michigan. RESOLVED that the following policy be adopted to deal with allegations of inappropriate institutional conduct by a Michigan foundation, regardless of whether the foundation is a member of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Policy "A confidential inquiry may be initiated by the president in response to allegations of inappropriate institutional conduct (such as conflict of interest, self-dealing, excess compensation) that may come to CMF's attention through media coverage, personal communications to members ofCMF' s board or staff, and referral from the attorney general's staff. If the results of this inquiry warrant further action, the president will select a panel of up to five experienced grantmakers from a list already approved by the Board of Tmstees, to examine the allegation of inappropriate conduct. The panel will then consider courses of action that CMF might take and recommend appropriate action to the president and board. The panel may recommend: (I) no action or contact with the foundation - member or nonmember or (2) contact with the CEO and or Chair of the foundation in person and/or in writing to review the allegation, investigate the facts, and obtain commitment to or evidence of corrective action. Depending on the level of response, this contact may be expanded to the whole board of the foundation. The response(s) will be shared by the president of CMF with the panel members. The panel would report to the board on such referrals and recommend a probationary period or revoking membership if it is deemed appropriate . Any decision by the board shall be communicated in writing to the foundation. The foundation will be offered an opportunity to submit a written response and to make a direct presentation to the board. In approving any actions, the board shall decide whether any of its actions or communications will be made public. Any public statement would be made only after careful consideration of the facts and review with legal counsel. If corrective action is not forthcoming in ninety days, the president will under appropriate circumstances refer the foundation to the Charitable Tmst Office of the Attorney General. The foundation in question will be given a copy of the correspondence outlining the allegations and efforts to secure a satisfactory response." �Education and Compliance Policy June 2004 Page2 Background The above policy will help CMF respond to the question- "what does a regional association of grantmakers do if they hear of allegations of institutional misconduct- defined as actions that may be illegal, involve self-dealing or excess compensation and/or be viewed as unethical if not illegal." This question has been asked by a member of Congress, staff to members of Congress and representatives of state regulators and attorney general staff. While the Council on Foundations (COF) has proposed a special task force under their "Building Strong and Ethical Foundations" initiative to examine this issue, each regional association of grantmakers in the country is being asked to consider adopting a policy to respond to this question. Creation of a panel process as proposed will strengthen CMF's ability to contribute to the field's capacity for self review and to fulfillment of its goal to educate members about best practices and champion sound and ethical philanthropy. Creation of the panel does not mean that CMF is becoming a regulatory agency. It may help prevent the need for further state or federal oversight and demonstrate the field's eagerness to comply with the letter and spirit ofthe law. Although any foundation or trustee, who may be the subject of a review, could file a lawsuit, we have been advised by CMF's legal counsel that the risk of liability is quite remote. There was consensus by task force members that the peer support and educational value must be emphasized. There was consensus that the climate with increased media scrutiny and internet accessibility of990PF forms reinforces the need for such a policy. Mr. Tamacki, CMF's legal counsel, who participated in the conference call, noted that the ability to refer a foundation to the Office of the Attorney General provided important "teeth" to the policy, but that would clearly be used in cases where a legal violation has occurred. There was discussion by members of the task force on if and how this policy would be shared with CMF members. RESOLVED further that the three steps outlined in the intermediate sanctions rules that apply to public cha rities be a dopted and recommended for use t o private foundations when considering issues related t o compensation. Background Because private foundation law has no recommended practice for determining compensation, it is recommended that the process outlined in the intermediate sanctions regulations be adopted. Reasonable compensation is generally defined as what similar persons in similar positions with similar duties at similar organizations are paid. Therefore, most foundations rely on salary and compensation surveys to guide them in finding a reasonable level of compensation. Foundations also often compare compensation levels with specific foundations of similar size, operations and geographic location. Some foundations contract with independent advisors to determine reasonable compensation and benefits. Private foundation law prescribes penalty excise taxes for excessive compensation. In 1996, Congress passed the so-called "intennediate sanctions" rules that apply only to public charities. These rules now prescribe similar excise tax penalties that can be applied in instances of excessive compensation involving public charities. �Education and Compliance Policy June 2004 Page 3 In publishing the final regulations to implement the intermediate sanctions rules, the Treasury Department set forth procedures known as the "rebuttable presumption" rules, which provide a presumption of reasonableness for any public charity that follows them. In the context of intennediate sanctions, when a charity (or its governing board) approves a level of compensation, the law will presume that it is reasonable so long as certain steps are taken. Under the regulations implementing the intermediate sanction rules, three conditions must be satisfied to take advantage of the rebuttable presumption: 1. Approval by a disinterested governing board. The compensation anangement must be approved in advance (before any payment) by the governing body of the organization, which is composed entirely of individuals who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation anangement. 2. Reliance on comparable data. Prior to making its determination, the governing body must obtain and rely upon data regarding comparability of compensation. 3. Concunent documentation. The governing body must adequately document by an entry in the minutes of the appropriate meeting the basis for its determination concunently with making that detern1ination (within 60 days of the decision or the date of the next meeting of the governing body, whichever is later). This policy is being recotm11ended by the task force because there are cases of excess compensation by Michigan foundations being brought to CMP's attention. CMP staff can use this policy as an educational tool to help both members and nonmembers in responding to the question, what is reasonable compensation for trustees and/or staff? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. TABlO June 1, 2004 To: S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Julie F. Cummings, Vice Chair, Private Foundations & Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Susan Howbert, Director, Family Philanthropy Services Subject: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following activities for family foundations since the last Board Meeting: Family Philanthropy Study Trip to Florida- March 9 & 10 Twelve CMF family foundation members were joined by eighteen Florida family foundation trustees and staff, for the two-day study trip, co-sponsored with our sister organization, Donors Forum of South F lorida. CMF's study trip program is unique for providing the opportunity to meet, learn and share with experts and family foundation trustees from another State and for allowing all participants to join in the dialogue due to the small size of the group. Day One of the workshop focused on Early Childhood Education with David Lawrence, Jr., President, The Early Childhood Initiative Foundation in Miami, and former publisher of the Detroit free Press and the Miami Herald, leading the discussion. Early childhood panelists included: Wendy Masi, A. L. Mailman Foundation, John & Nancy Colina, Colina Foundation, and Tana Ebbole, Children' s Service Council and Board member of Donors Forum of South Florida. The day concluded with a networking dinner at the home of Julie and Peter Cummings with special guest, Max Fisher! Day Two concentrated on the role of arts in education with presentations by the Executive Directors of the Center for Creative Education and Arts for Learning, plus a site visit to the Wynnbrook Elementary School. At the closing luncheon, participants focused on the important issues of accountability and governance in a conversation led by Rob Collier. Be Ready by Five Initiative Members of the Family Foundations Early Childhood Initiative, "Be Ready by Five" met on March 29 at the home ofCMF trustee, Betsy Stover. Committee members welcomed Lynne Ferrell, Program Officer, Frey Foundation, who will be providing program support to the Be Ready Initiative. Lynne will be participating in meetings, sharing expertise, research, and best practices, and working with family foundations in Michigan who are interested in making early childhood grants. Next steps include meeting in Grand Rapids to make site visits to early childhood programs. We thank the Frey Foundation for its support of this family foundation initiative. 06.10.04 Board Materials77.jpg �Family Philanthropy Report June 2004 Page 2 .§!h Annual Family Foundations Retreat - April 30 - May 2, 2004 Over seventy family foundation trustees and staff participated in the 6th Annual Family Foundations Retreat, "Making a Difference in Our Communities," held in Midland. Thanks to the leadership ofRaony Riecker, Ted Doan and the collective group of Midland foundations, this year's format featured programs at five different nonprofit locations throughout the Midland area including the West Midland Family Center, Midland Senior Services Building, Midland Center for the Arts, Michigan Molecular Institute, and the Midland Historical Society Museum. The Retreat offered a unique opportunity for participants to learn how community needs are identified, and the ins and outs of collaborating with community organizations, community foundations, local government, schools and other private foundations. While the adults were learning how to be more effective grantmakers, family foundation youth from 8- 17 years of age were participating in a youth grantmaking activity. Planned by the Midland County Youth Action Council, youth explored philanthropy including making site visits, reviewing proposals and awarding grants. Grants of $300 were awarded to the Meridian Elementary Parent Teacher Organization, Midland County Educational Service Agency, and The Arnold Center. Thanks to the Cook Family Foundation and Paine Family Foundation for their continued support of this important youth activity. All participants, young and old alike, enjoyed the two special Retreat evenings. Friday night featured a reception and dinner at both of Midland's National Historic landmarks The Pines, the historic homestead of Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow, and The Alden B. Dow Home and Studio, home of Alden B. Dow, renowned architect and son of Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow. On Saturday night, everyone boarded an authentic English double-decker bus to travel from the hotel to the Midland Center for the Arts for dinner and a special visit to the Pearls: A Natural History exhibit.

Advancing giving. June 1, 2004 Memo to: S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Lloyd J. Yeo, Chair David R . Lindberg, Vice President, Finance & Administration RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations March 31, 2004 and 2003 Audit Report RESOLVED that the Rehmann Robson March 31, 2004 & 2003, audit report, as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee, be accepted. The CMF Audit & Finance Committee met on May 26, 2004, to review and accept the Rehmann Robson March 31, 2004 and 2003 audit report. In reviewing this report it should be noted that CMF has received an unqualified opinion. During this year' s audit process Rehmann Robson performed a separate audit of the major grants that involved federal funds and reported that this review resulted in no audit findings. Brief highlights from the enclosed audit report (located in the front pocket of your Board book) follow below. Combined Balance Sheet During 2003-04 the cash for MCFV decreased by $ 1.9 million due to the WKKF III grant that was fully expended in March 2004. This reduction was partially offset by the $800,000 Lilly grant received for the Learning to Give project. Investments The increase from the prior year is due to the market gains of the U .S. stock market during the past 12 months, which resulted in gains for the CMF endowment funds of approximately 32%. In 2002-03 the CMF endowment funds experienced negative returns of 13% to 14%, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003. Grants Receivable The decrease from the prior year is due to the collection of the following receivable balances that were outstanding at 3-31-03. Kellogg LTG Grant Great Lakes Protection Fund Herb & Grace Dow Foundation- Riecker Fund Kresge Three-Year Technology Grant Foundation Liaison Office Net Assets $934,000 193,000 175,000 250,000 300,000 �Treasmer's Report June 2004 Page2 Unrestricted - the increase is due to the market gains on the investments of the KYIP Fund which are classified as unrestricted. Combined Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets Revenue Grants Support The decrease from the prior year is due to the following grants awarded in 2002-03. $1,407,000 LTG grant from Kellogg $2.4 m less Lilly grant from 01 -02$1 million. Contributions to Riecker Leadership Fund Contributions to Foundation Liaison Office FIA Reimbursement of IDA matches 991,000 398,000 627,000 Net Unrealized and Realized Gains The increase from the prior year is due to the increase in the U.S. stock market in 2003-04. Expenses Grants The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in Tobacco Settlement grants awarded to community foundations in 2003-04 caused by reduced funding from the State. Conference The increase from the prior year is due to increased attendance at the November 2003 Annual Conference. The previous year's conference was on Mackinac Island.

June 1, 2004 Memo to: S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Lloyd J. Yeo, Treasurer David R. Lindberg, Vice President, Finance & Administration RE: CMF Core Operations and Endowment Funds Internal Financial Statements for 3/31/04 RESOLVED that the CMF Core Operations and Endowment Funds Statement of Activity for 3/31/04, as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee, be approved. The Core Operations budget has ended the year with a surplus of $100,670 vs. a projected surplus of $98,000 that was reported to the CMF Board at the March 2, 2004 meeting. Below are some key highlights from the enclosed reports. Core Operations Note 1: Membership After closing out the 2003-04 books, delinquent members have paid $4,800 in 2003-04 dues, which will show up as revenue in 2004-05. As of May 24, 2004, 80 members have paid their 2004-05 membership dues, generating revenue of$ 132,000. Note 2: Conference Income & Expenses The variance from budget is due to attendance at the Annual Conference being less than originally budgeted. Overall the Annual Conference netted a surplus of $91 ,000 vs. a budgeted amount of$77,000, primarily due to sponsorships and exhibitor fee revenue being greater than anticipated. Paid Complimentary - speakers & volunteers Full Registrations 328 45 373 Partial Registrations 227 105 332 Total 555 150 �Internal Financial Statements June 2004 Page 2 Note 3: Wages & Benefits $59,000 of the favorable variance is due to the amount budgeted for the Director of Communications position that was filled by a third party consultant in October 2003 who is being charged to the Publications line item. The remaining variance is due to staff time allocated to special projects. Note 4: Postage The favorable variance is due to the increased use of the internet to communicate to our members. Note 5: Computers The favorable variance is due to the consultant, who administers our computer system, spending more time than expected installing the new system (which was charged to our three-year technology plan) versus troubleshooting the existing system. Note 6: Publications & Printing Based on feedback from members who said they would like to receive fewer communications pieces from CMF, the number of Memo to Members and Michigan Grantmaking Scene issues were cut back in 2003-04. The favorable variance is due to savings in the following areas: Advertising Marketing Brochure Memo to Members Michigan Grantmaking Scene $4,200 4,800 6,300 4,800 The savings above were partially offset by the hiring of a communications consultant.

Advancing giving. TAB3 June 1, 2004 Memo to: S. Martin Taylor, Chair and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Herbert (Ted) D. Doan, Member Investment Committee Re: March 31, 2004, Investment Report RESOLVED that the March 31, 2004, Investment Report, as reviewed by the Investment Committee, be accepted. On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meets to review the investment performance for the operating and permanent endowment fu nds. The Investment Committee met on May 18, 2004 to review and accept the enclosed report. Through the end of March 2004 the U.S. stock market has continued to rebound, with the endowment funds experiencing returns in the 30-35% range for the twelve months ending March 31,2004. The 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. Asset Class S&P 500 S&P400 S&P 600 REIT International Equities Short Bond Bond High Yield Bond Fund Cash Allocation 37% 9% 6% 5% 13% 12.5% 12.5% 5% 0% �Investment Report June 2004 Page 2 The Lipper returns are based on the following asset classes. 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 CMF' s Vice President 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 the result of 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. The Margaret Riecker Leadership Fund received a $200,000 pledge payment during the forth quarter of2003-04, which caused the actual asset allocation to vary from the target at March 31, 2004. Investment Performance Comparison Report In addition to the Lipper returns, the Investment Committee uses the Cambridge & Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations as a benclunark comparison. The release of this infonnation typically takes two to three months, which is why this report lags by one quarter.

Advancing giving. TABS June 1, 2004 Memo to: S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Libby Maynard, Co-Chair Government Relations Committee Rob Collier, President Re: Government Relations Committee Report The purpose of this report is three fold: • to report on the status of the Payout Study Update, • to review the call for hearings on foundations in 2004, and • to request action on items concerning State legislation and the budget crisis. The Pavout Study Update Included in the front packet of your Board book is a copy of the Payout Study Update completed by Cambridge Associates in late April. We appreciate both the speed of Cambridge Associates in completing this update in less than 60 days and the leadership of Bob Swaney, Chair of our Investment Committee, in assisting Dave Lindberg and Rob Collier with the final editing. Dave Lindberg will summarize the Update at the Board Meeting. At this time it is recommended that we not publicize this research but hold it in reserve for the likely hearings that will be held on foundations by the Senate Finance Committee in Washington later this year or in 2005. We have provided copies to targeted interested parties, such as interested members, the Council on Foundations, Independent Sector and Representative Dave Camp. Congressman Camp was pleased to add this to his information bank on foundations but indicated that he did not want to draw new attention to the payout issue at this time. While we will provide it to members upon request, it will not appear on our website at this time. We welcome your thoughts on additional targeted recipients of this important research. The Status of Congressional Hearings We received the following notice last week from Kevin Anderson, Director of Government Relations for the Council on Foundations. Dean Zerbe, ChiefInvestigative Counsel for the Senate Finance Committee, is considering Committee hearings on nonprofit-- including foundation-- practices. The hearings would review proposed legislation aimed at reforming nonprofit governance practices, focusing on perceived abuses (such as non-cash donations, tax shelters and charitable life insurance) as well as inadequate oversight and enforcement. In recent conversations with Mr. Zerbe, the Council learned that mid to late June is a possible timeframefor such hearings. In meetings with others (and reported to us), Mr. Zerbe again raised concerns about excess compensation offoundation trustees and foundation staff-- with particular mention offamily foundations. Possible areas ofreform mentioned to Council staffby Mr. Zerbe are makeup of board membership, board/trustee fees, and greater IRS scrutiny ofcompensation. At present we have no further specifics. �Government Relations Report June 2004 Page 2 Through Rob's participation in the Independent Sector Public Policy Meeting on June 1, we have learned that the Senate Finance Committee Hearing will be held before the July 4 recess and that three panels of speakers have been invited. The first panel will feature enforcement officials including the IRS Commissioner and two representatives of state Attorneys General. The second panel - speakers names not released at this time -has been titled by Dean Zerbe, head of the Senate Finance Tax Staff, "there's trouble in River City" and will focus on life insurance scams, tax shelters and gifts of over appreciated art. The third panel will focus on nonprofit governance and will include Diana Aviv from Independent Sector, the Chair of The Nature Conservancy's Advisory Panel, Bill Josephson, head of the New York Attorney General's Charitable Division, and most likely Pablo Eisenberg. Based on the language on vehicle donations and gifts of intellectual property already included in the Senate version of the Jobs Bill that has passed, there is real concern about the bunt by some members of Congress to find "Revenue Raisers". For example a possible fee of 1% on the gift of in-kind property is being discussed. Language is being drafted for legislation dealing with compensation, disqualified persons, and family foundations that will be introduced in this Session. At this time it is not expected to advance but be used to set the stage for legislation in the 2005 Session of Congress. We are hopeful that the legislation will be available for comment before the Hearing at the end of June. At this time it appears that the CARE Act in both House and Senate versions will not go to a Conference Committee in this Session. There is an effort by the American Council on Gift Annuities to try to attach the IRA Rollover provision, which is the least expensive of the proposed charitable tax breaks to the federal government and enjoys great bi-partisan support, to a larger omnibus budget bill. However, Senator Santorum, a principal sponsor of the CARE Act has resisted efforts to pull pieces out of the CARE Act. State Legislation and the budget crisis 1. Our State Partnerships As you have read in the Public Affairs Associates Updates that Sue Cuddington forwards to you, the legislature and Governor continue to spend most of their time on the budget. We are cautiously optimistic on two developments that affect our publ ic-private partnerships: first, that there will be a $200,000 appropriation for the Michigan IDA Partnership from T ANF funds in the Family Independence Agency 2005 budget; and second, that with the increase in the tobacco tax there will be funds to restore the Tobacco Settlement Partnership fund to the community foundations at the two million dollar level in 2005. But who knows what will happen between now and the Board Meeting!! 2. Action Requested on Nonprofit Response to the budget crisis The fmancial picture for the state budget continues to look bleak well into the 2006 budget year, and experts are clamoring for refonn of the state's tax structure. More than 80 state nonprofit associations led by the Michigan Nonprofit Association have signed on to the attached document Socially and Fiscally Responsible Solutions to the State Fiscal Crisis - Recommendations to the State Policymakers, and CMF has been asked to join in this effort. While CMF normally does not take a position on issues that do not directly affect philanthropy, we feel that it is important to bring this request to the Board for discussion. One of the recommendations in fact does deal with Decoupling the Michigan Estate Tax from the Federal �Government Relations Report June 2004 Page 3 Estate Tax- an issue of importance to the creation of foundations. The following resolution is thus proposed for consideration: RESOLVED that CMF add its name to the list of nonprofit organizations supporting Socially and Fiscally Responsible Solutions to the State Fiscal Crisis -Recommendations to State Policy Makers. 3. The Charitable Solicitation Act and a policy affecting private foundations The Charitable Solicitation Act, SB 1115, is moving through the Senate with testimony scheduled this week. CMF has already adopted the need to update this Act as part of our Legislative Goals Statement for 2004. One of the provisions in the Bill will now require an annual audit by any nonprofit organization that has an operating budget, including revenues, of at least $250,000 a year. This provision is similar to legislation already adopted in eight other states. This provision presents a " Best Practice" recommendation issue for CMF in its recommendations to private foundations. Until now, CMF has recommended that small private foundations under $10 million in assets have an independent audit performed at least every three years, with a review in the off years. Based on the five percent payout requirement of private foundations, this Best Practice recommendation should be lowered to $5 million. It seems fair that private foundations model what is required of public charities, and that we not wait for it to be legislated -which will likely happen at some point in future legislatures. Consensus is therefore sought by the Board on adoption of the following Best Practice recommendation: That a private foundation with five million in assets should conduct an annual independent audit. �Socially and Fiscally Responsible Solutions to the State Fiscal Crisis - Recommendations to State Policymakers The FY 2005 state budget is facing a $1.3 billion shortfall between projected state revenues and expected levels of spending. The Governor and some legislators have proposed a mixture of revenue enhancements and spending cuts to address the shortage. However, merely providing short-term solutions to the lack of revenue needed in the state is no longer acceptable. To address the budget crisis, which will only get worse in future years, the state must begin to seek long-term solutions that are fisca lly responsible and provide for a quality of life expected here in Michigan Since the Michigan government has already decreased its spending by $2 billion since FY 2000, additional cuts to programs and state services are no longer an option unless all Michigan residents are willing to decrease the level of education, health care, culture, environment, natural resources, social service progran1s and more that are available to them. In addition to support for individuals and municipalities, the state makes grants to and contracts with nonprofit organizations to provide needed services for Michigan fam ilies. Not only will additional cuts hann the individuals and municipalities that rely on direct state funding, but it will also hinder if not prevent the nonprofit community from carrying out its charitable mission. Worsening the situation are decreasing levels of foundation and individual giving, which leave organizations with few or no resources to replace funding from the state or to support the services that government may choose to no longer provide. With over 43,000 nonprofits in the state, employing more than 380,000 Michigan workers, the nonprofit sector is a powerful economic and social force in the state, howe'ver, the nonprotit sector can't be expected to meet the needs of Michigan families alone. If state policymakers do not begin to find permanent solutions to the revenue shortage, Michigan families and nonprofits must start asking themselves what level of service they want to receive from the following in their communities : • • • • • • • • • • • • • Public libraries Emergency services, such as police and fire protection State parks and other natural resource centers K-12 Schools Colleges and Universities Adequate roads and highways Theaters Museums Community centers Health Care centers Homeless shelters Workforce development programs And much more �Today, state policymakers are making difficult decisions about the quality of the public services mentioned above. Government funding to these efforts are critical to maintaining an adequate quality of life for all Michigan citizens. To begin addressing the state budget crisis and to mitigate additional cuts to the programs and services that all Michigan residents rely on, state lawmakers must create a sufficient revenue base. Possible means to address the state fiscal crisis include: Increasing the State Tax on Cigarettes - A significant increase in the cost of a pack of cigarettes would provide the state with about $295 million in revenue. This number is based on a 75-cent increase in the cigarette tax, which would roughly equate to an increase of about 4-cents per cigarette. Modernizing Michigan's Sales/Use Tax Structure to I nclude Services - Another means to address the state budget crisis, is to modernize the state sales and use tax structure to expand sales tax to services. However, the services taxed shou ld not adversely affect the ability of the nonprofit sector to carry out its charitable missions, particularly in the areas of k-12 education; the arts; higher education; enviromnent and natural resources; and health and human services. As the national and state economies shift focus to services as a major component of the economy, the state's tax structure has not matured to meet the needs of this changing economy. It is now necessary to consider the more than 164 service categories that may provide much needed revenue to the state while not providing a burden on Michigan consumers and businesses. Out of a possible 164 service categories the state only taxes 29 services, which means Michigan will forego as much as $11 billion a year in revenue at the current 6 percent sales tax rate. Possible services to tax include, but are not limited to: • • • • • • • • Dating services Storage services Investment counseling Security services Parking Hair/nail care Travel agent services Infonnation services Decoupling the Michigan Estate Tax from the Federal Estate Tax - An important way for the state to address the budget crisis is for the Michigan to join eighteen other states that have fully or partially decoupled from the federal estate tax. It is estimated that that by fully decoupling from the federal estate tax that the state could preserve over $300 million a year in annual revenues. Also, because paying the estate tax is a significant incentive to increase donations to charities, based on 2001 charitable bequest data, a repeal of the federal estate tax would translate to a loss of $325 million per year to charities across the state. �Since Michigan' s estate tax is directly tied to the federal tax, unless the state decouples from the federal tax, the phase-outs and complete repeal of the tax will further decrease revenue in the state and will further dwindle the ability of charities across the state to meet the needs of Michigan's families and children. Adjusting the Beer and Wine Tax for Inflation - Experts estimate that the tax on beer and wine could be more than doubled and businesses would rot see a decrease in sales. Since the beer and wine tax have not been adjusted for inflation since 1966 and 1982, respectively, consumers are paying a mere 1.9 cents a bottle for state tax on beer and roughly about the same amount per glass for wine. Seeing the small amount of state tax paid, this tax could be significantly increased without impacting consumption. However, the amount that would be generated for the state is significant. If the beer tax were doubled, the state would yield $42 million a year. If the wine tax were doubled, the state would have an additional $8.5 - 9 million in revenue a year. Adjusting the Mark-Up Applied to Liquor Sales - Last adjusted in 1985, the current mark-up applied to liquor is at 65 percent. Again, a significant increase in this mark-up would not necessarily impact the rate of consumption. It is estimated that a nine percent increase would yield $32 million a year in revenue for the state. Income Tax - Although the income tax reduction scheduled flr January 2004 was postponed, c iting the current budget crisis, further reductions in the personal income tax should be postponed saving the state approximately $ 160 million a year in revenue. Remote Sales - Currently, M ichigan and other states are not able to force out-of-state retailers, such as L.L. B ean or LandsEnd to collect sales tax for the states. By collecting sales tax on purchases online and via catalogue, it is estimated that Michigan would realize between $300 million to $400 million in revenue. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Michigan IDA Partnership (MIDAP), a partnership between the Michigan Family Independence Agency and the Council of Michigan Foundations, has created a statewide program with over 1200 IDA Accounts available. IDAs help working poor families save toward their household dream buying a home, attaining post-secondary education, or starting a small business. Since 2001 Michigan has: ~ ~ ~ ~ Established 5 IDA Program Regional Networks to reach a statewide goal of2000 IDA Accounts Increased the number of available IDA Accounts in Michigan from 50 to over 1200 Expanded the number of IDA Program Sites from 5 to over 50 Over 1000 open/active accountholders saving toward their IDA Asset Goal. OUTCOMES: The Independent Evaluation Report through Year Three of the project found: The typical IDA Participant is a 33-year-old unmarried African-American woman with some college education, a full-time job, a monthly household income of about $1,800 (21,600 annually), and two children living at home. Nearly 80% of all participants plan to purchase a home, 10% intent to use their account for a business, and 10% for education. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Regular savings by participants went from 25 to 71 percent with 87 percent report they expect to save regularly in the future. 99 percent have been affected positively by being in their IDA Program and 84% believe the financial management education classes have helped them save. 90 percent are more aware of the their credit rating. Families showed, on average, a 12% to 23% increase in their credit score depending on the credit score source. 83 percent report they are more likely to work or stay employed since opening their IDA Through May 25, 2004, 285 IDA Participants have made an asset purchase (188 homes purchased, 58 education account uses and 39 business accounts uses). The mortgages leveraged to date total more than $15.6 million (see charts on back). Leveraged $2.8 million in private sector funding, $4.1 million from the state of Michigan (including FIA and MSHDA funds) and $1.8 million in Federal Assets for Independence Act fund ing (All 5 Regional Coordinating Organizations (RCOs) have received AFIA support). Match Funding is in place for 500 additional IDA Accounts thanks to Michigan State Housing Development Authority and AFIA, however additional Direct Service support must be raised before accounts are offered. IDA Policy to Continue Growth: ~ Expand State Support for IDA Accounts through FIA and MSHDA existing budgets. ~ Reauthorization of the Assets for Independence Act with recommended changes (federal). ~ Passage ofthe Saving for Working Families Act (federal).

NCCJ has four DPS teachers attending the summer institute at GVSU 06.10.04 Board Materials81.jpg �Learning to Give Report June 2004 Page3 Michigan Municipal League-LTG has offered the philanthropy educational materials for a proposed project to engage youth in public life at the municipal level. The MML is still seeking funding for this initiative Michigan Civic Education Consortium-LTG is working with the new consortium in responding to a Carnegie RFP on civic education policy development. The Fetzer Institute has contributed materials from the Generosity ofthe Spirit, Fetzer project, for the LTG Web-site (stories of generosity from around the world, a discussion guide, and interviews with philanthropists). IV. Sustainability Strategies Launched Professional consultation and several funding strategies are being tested for the long-term support of Learning to Give. The LTG Steering Committee will consider reports, due this summer from NCNE and lEG as noted below, at their fall2004 meeting and develop a specific plan for sustaining the LTG effort beyond current grant funding as a long-term effort to assure the teaching of philanthropy in the United States. National Center for Nonprofit Enterprise (NCNE) With underwriting support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, NCNE visited LTG on April 301h. NCNE is a non-profit consulting organization composed of a network of university faculty members from major non-profit management programs across the nation. The tean1 of four reviewed the budget and current strategies and will provide a written report by July, with advice on project financial sustainability. lEG Corporate Sponsorship Consultation LTG is also working with lEG, a consulting firm out of Chicago with over 20 years of experience with corporate sponsors (companies) and "properties" (groups like LTG seeking sponsorship). lEG is completing a "valuation study" of the economic value of each component, and of the whole, of LTG as it would be valued by a potential corporate sponsor. They will also assist in writing a comprehensive sponsorship proposal, and will advise us on which corporate sponsors would have the best "fit" with LTG. They will continue to advise us and assist us in making corporate calls over three years. We will receive their report on June 3. Fund-Raising and Gifts from Individuals The fund-raising for LTG from individuals continues, although only modest gifts are anticipated between now and the fall campaign. The total gifts and pledges received todate are: $70,547. A $30,000 challenge grant from two donors has been matched by $40,547. Gifts range in size from $2-$5,000. Sale of Materials African American Package: Since January, 11 Notebooks and 22 posters have been sold for a net profit of $ 1, 116.90. The African American Philanthropy package has been widely distributed throughout Michigan as a part of the underwriting support from the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan's grant. In addition, with support 06.10.04 Board Materials82.jpg �Learning to Give Report June 2004 Page4 from Betsy Upton Stover, a very successful workshop on using the materials was held for 25 teachers from Berrien County. Lesson Plan Volumes: LTG will begin selling the bundled lesson plans, by grade band, by summer 2004. There are two volumes for each of the grade bands. We believe there is an audience for the printed lessons, based on inquiries received from the Web-site. The lesson plans for each grade span (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) have been fonnatted for printing, on-demand, into volumes that can be purchased by schools. In many cases, teachers are still not completely comfortable on the Intemet and prefer hard copy. Once the preparation work is completed, the bundles of lessons will be sold for a profit in volumes at each grade band. Women's Posters and Package: $154 in women's posters have been sold since 2002. A proposal has been submitted to the James A. and Faith Knight Foundation for support of the completion of the Women's Philanthropy package. The high school poster was published last year with support from the Michigan Women's Foundation. Holiday Cards: During the 2003-04 holiday season, LTG developed and sold 76 boxes of holiday cards illustrated with children's philanthropy artwork. Cards were printed ondemand with no inventory or storage required. LTG had a net profit of $270. Greeting Cards: LTG has produced a set of blank greeting cards with student work on the front. These will be wholesaled through a local bookstore in Muskegon, area museum shops, and given as premiums for PBS fund-raising events for the publicity value for LTG. They will also be sold on the Web-site. Online Book Club-Amazon.com Associates Program The initial effort has started to have Web-site visitors order books through the LTG Website. In the future, plans are underway to link each book title on the site to Amazon for easy ordering. LTG receives a rebate for each order. Tuition Sharing forMEd. and Payment for Instruction LTG owns the copyright on 18 hours of the 36 hour M.Ed . Ferris has made one payment of $100 based on enrollment in the courses. In addition, LTG staff taught an online course this winter resulting in $2,500 in revenue for LTG. High School Textbook Supplement and Teacher Guides The high school textbook supplement and teacher guides are complete. The chapters have been reviewed for fairness, and field-testing in classrooms will be done by the end of May. Plans for the optimum publisher and process, and writing the introductions are the next steps.

Wilson Foundation David M. Whitney Fund �April 30, 2004 Dear: The Board ofTrustees and staffofthe Council ofMichigan Foundations (CMF) thank you for your ongoing support for our work to enhance, improve and increase philanthropy in Michigan. Now is the time to renew your support with your 2004 membership investment. Please take a moment to review the enclosed Member Benefits and 2003 Accomplishments Summmy. CMF is continually developing new services to assist private foundations. For example, last week we posted two important documents about the 990-PF Fonn. These were developed in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers and can be viewed on the CMF home page www.cmif.org. We encourage you to download What You Should Know Before Signing Your Organization 's Form 990-PF and the companion document for preparers of the 990-PF and join in one of the May conference calls. Our monthly E-News is loaded with timely calendar events such as this and other resources. If you would prefer to receive it by fax or mail, just let us know. We encourage you to take advantage of the more than 50 educational and networking opportunities CMF offers throughout the year - many by conference call so you can join from your office. Vicki Rosenberg our Chief Operating Officer and Dave Lindberg, our Vice President of Finance, like Rob, welcome the opportunity to visit with members throughout the state. This is a longer letter than usual because within the enclosed M embership Renewal Invoice 2004 are two important changes that we want to discuss. �Dues Adjustment The first change is that there has been an increase in the dues schedule for the first time in nine years. With the encouragement of the Board, CMF has "tightened our belts" and reduced staff in the past two years. We were even able to delay this approved increase in 2003 in recognition of the challenging stock market conditions for many of our members. However, the Board of Trustees has determined that the adjustment must be implemented this year. Careful research was done by the Membership Committee and staff to insure that this adjustment reflects the value of membership to foundations of all sizes. Coupled with continued tight controls on operating costs, this dues increase wi II allow CMF to continue the education programs, networking events, research services and relationships with state and local government that members rely on. Guiding Principles The second change in the Membership Renewal Invoice is the adoption of seven Guiding Principles that are now included as a condition of membership. Adopted by the CMF Board of Trustees and announced at our 2003 Annual Conference, these Guiding Principles were developed over a six-month period by a Task Force of members including several ofyom colleagues. They are similar to those adopted by the Minnesota Council on Foundations as a condition of membership two years ago. The CMF Trustees feel that adoption of these Guiding Principles is an important step in responding to the proposed federal legislation mentioned in the Accomplishments attachment and to answering the question often asked by the public - "What do grantmakers stand for?" With the enclosed Guiding Principles document are suggestions for practices on their implementation. Although recognizing these principles are goals, not rules, we ask that you review and endorse the Guiding Principles by signing the designated statement on the Membership Renewal In voice. Finally, we have also enclosed a Trustee/Staff List for you to update with a return envelope for your convenience. The IRS allows your entire membership support to be recorded as a charitable grant. Please do not hesitate to call Rob, Vicki or Dave if you have any concerns about the dues adjustment, the Guiding Principles or any other issue. Members, responding to our Biennial Membership Survey in January, confirmed that they value their membership in CMF. We want you to know that we value y our membership and look forward to being of service this year. Thank you for renewing your investment in CMF. Sincerely, S.
