Over 3,000 evacuees have relocated to Michigan cities as large as Detroit and as small as South Haven. Many of these individuals and families have arrived with little more than the clothes they were wearing. While most of these evacuees are receiving assistance from FEMA and the state of Michigan, many have needs beyond what these public resources will help with. This partnership, with support from: the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, The Skillman Foundation, the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, The Frey Foundation, and the Ruth Mott Foundation, has resulted in a special needs relief fund of $230,000 that is being accessed by Michigan Department of Human Services caseworkers and community nonprofit relief agencies throughout Michigan. To date, over $10,000 worth of special needs have been met through this fund. Special needs have included deposits for rent, special transportation assistance, school supplies, and prescriptions. This public/private approach to meeting special needs of these displaced families will help to alleviate gaps in services and provide a tremendous boost to these families who are having to start their lives all over again. CMF members have been, as is usual, overwhelmingly generous in this time of national disaster. To date, we have heard from 38 Michigan foundations, all CMF members, who are providing cash, in-kind, matching and volunteer gifts to assist in Hurricane Katrina relief.

Advancing giving. September 30, 2005 To: S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members ofthe Board of Trustees From: Lloyd J. Yeo, Audit Committee Chair Re: Recommendation to Change Retirement Plan Providers RESOVED that a change in CMF's retirement plan provider from Mutual of America to Comerica, as recommended by the CMF Audit Committee, be approved. Background CMF has a practice of reviewing retirement plan provider options approximately every five years as part of our ongoing due diligence. Over the last ten months an analysis has been conducted of various retirement plan providers in the following categories: Insurance Companies Met Life Mutual of America Banks Fifth Third Comerica Investment Firms Smith Bamey Other TIAACREF What we found out: • Level and types of services are pretty similar across the board. • Mutual of America, Met Life and TIAA CREF offer annuity products (versus mutual funds by the other providers), which are typically run by a major investment manager (Vanguard, Fidelity etc.), but with less stringent reporting requirements since these funds are not available to the general public. While they do report management fees in their prospectus the fees generally tend to be higher than the other providers. • There is a difference between providers who charged a higher up front annual fee to the employers and those that waived this fee, but seem to have them buried in the fees charged directly to the different funds. • # of investment options recommended by the various providers is generally in the 16-20 fund range. �Retirement Plan Memo Page 2 • • • • Banks and investment firms for the most part allow you to add almost any fund offered by investment managers available to the general public, with a recommended list provided. The insurance companies and TIAA CREF either manage funds with in-house investment managers or select the third part managers who manage funds that are only available to their clients. Under this scenario changes in options only come about through a committee structure established by the insurance company. All providers handle revising plan documents to meet any changes in the IRS regulations. All providers either do the discrimination testing or provide software for CMF staff to do this. All monitor employee deferrals to make sure they do not exceed the maximum limit. In the final analysis the plan provider options came down to CMF's current provider, Mutual of America, or Comerica, with a recommendation to switch to Comerica for the following reasons. • • • • • Current list of Investment options includes 18 different managers, including Fidelity, Janus, Munder, Putnam and Van Kampen. If a fund under perfom1s, CMF management, with recommendation from the Comerica advisor, can change the investment options. In a comparison of investment returns the Comerica fund options typically out perfonned the Mutual of America options by 1%-3% annually. Administrative and employee related services by both providers are comparable. Comerica has converted over 550 plans in the last several years. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. September 29, 2005 To: S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members ofthe Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Creation of The William C. Richardson Endowment for Public Policy I am pleased to present the fo llowing resolution for consideration, along with exciting news of partnership with the Knight Wallace Fellows Program at the University of Michigan. Whereas Dr. William C. Richardson has served for ten years as President and CEO of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and will be retiring on December 31, 2005, and Whereas Dr. Richardson has served as a Trustee of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) for nine years during this time, and Whereas Dr. Richardson has been an active member of CMF's Government Relations Committee and led the annual Foundations on the Hill visits to Washington with members of Michigan' s Congressional Delegation, and Whereas Dr. Richardson has encouraged the development of CMF's Public Policy Committee and the engagement of the Public Policy Fellow- the first position of this type with a regional association of grantmakers in the country, and Whereas Dr. Richardson has promoted the role of CMF and philanthropy in Michigan on a national level through his leadership as: Trustee and Chair of the Council on Foundations, member of the National Panel convened by Independent Sector, member and Chair of the Foundation Strategy Group, and member and Chair of the Aspen Institute's Mid America Foundation Group, Now therefore be it RESOLVED that the William C. Richardson Endowment Fund for Public Policy (Fund) be created in recognition of Dr. Richardson' s service to philanthropy in Michigan and his leadership in advancing tihe engagement of philanthropy in public policy with the purpose of this Fund to support the ongoing involvement in an intern/fellowship role at CMF by students from Michigan colleges or universities, who are interested in careers involving the nonprofit sector and public policy. Resolved further, that the Board of Trustees of CMF extends its appreciation to Dr. Richardson and theW. K. Kellogg Foundation for a leadership gift of $400,000 to create this Endowed Fund and welcome additional contributions to the Fund by members who share Dr. Richardson's commitment to philanthropy and public policy. �Richardson Endowment Page 2 Background We have received a verbal commitment from Bill Richardson on this gift. He understands that our goal is to announce creation of the Fund as part of the closing plenary session when he is with us on Wednesday, October 12. He is particularly pleased with the success ofCMF's Public Policy Fellow program and considers creation of this Fund an impottant step to insure our ability to continue this effort. The revenue from this Fund will be complimented by income from the Ranny Riecker Leadership Fund at CMF that is currently used to support the position of Public Policy Associate. In addition, Charles Eisendrath, director of the Knight-Wallace Fellows Program at the University of Michigan, will join us at the Closing plenary to announce creation of the William C. Richardson Fellowship on Public Policy and Philanthropy. Creation ofthis Fellowship, the first of its type in the nation is made possible by our ability to seize an oppottunity- in this case a one million dollar challenge with a due date of October 1, 2005. As a result of a leadership gift from Dr. Richardson and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, along with commitments from the following foundations and individuals, one million dollars has been committed to match the one million dollars from the JohnS. and James L. Knight Foundation to create a pennanent endowment for this Fellowship. • • • • • • • • • C.S. Mott Foundation Dottie Johnson, Trustee W.K. Kellogg Foundation Dottie and Mart Johnson Donor Advised Fund, Grand Haven Area Community Foundation Julie and Peter Cummings Susan Berresford, president, The Ford Foundation Fred Keller, Trustee W.K. Kellogg Foundation Ranny Riecker Libby Maynard Rob and Diane Collier While the tight time frame has not allowed for a broad solicitation for this endowment, the Knight-Wallace Fellows Program at the University of Michigan welcomes additional gifts earmarked for this Fellowship. As detailed in the following summary, the national journalist selected for this Fellowship will have an advisor from the Ford School for Public Policy and will spend two weeks during the Fellowship engaged in activities with CMF. Creation of this Fellowship will strengthen Michigan's leadership in our field and support efforts to also strengthen our work with the media The William C. Richardson Fellowship for Public Policy and Philanthropy Part of the Knight-Wallace Fellows at the University of Michigan, this Fellowship provides an outstanding mid-career professional from a national media outlet with the opportunity for a sabbatical year of study and reflection on Public Policy and Philanthropy - the first Fellowship of this type known in the country. �Richardson Endowment Page 3 With Michigan home to three of the largest private foundations and the largest regional association of grantmakers in the world - the Council of Michigan Foundations, and the Gerald Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan, this Fellowship offers a unique oppottunity to explore philanthropy' s impact on the public, private and nonprofit sectors with access from September to April to the expanse of scholarship available at a world-class university. To help find resources and courses most closely related to this focus, the Fellow will be assigned a faculty advisor from the Ford School of Public Policy. A typical study pattern mixes course work with informal tutorials arranged with individual faculty members. In addition, the Richardson Fellow will spend two weeks with the Council of Michigan Foundations during the course of the Fellowship. The Fellowship is designed to broaden perspectives, nurture intellectual growth and inspire personal transfornmtion. The subject matter agreed upon may directly relate to professional assignments, be totally different or a combination of the two. Additionally, the Fellow will join the Fellowship Group in twice weekly seminars given by prominent journalists and leading academics as well as group travel to Toronto, Chicago, Buenos Aires and Istanbul. A stipend of $55,000 plus all tuition and fees is available as a result of a two million dollar endowment, funded by a lead gift of $400,000 from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in honor of William C. Richardson, Foundation President from 1995 to 2006. It is matched with $600,000 from other Michigan foundations, individual donors and the University to leverage one million dollars from the JohnS. and James L. Knight Foundation. This Fellowship is targeted for a fulltime U.S. journalists (print, broadcast, photo, film and Internet) with five years ' experience, operating at the national level, whose work appears regularly as an employee or freelance, who must obtain a leave of absence, agree not to publish or broadcast during the Fellowship, to return to their place of employment, maintain Ann Arbor residency and attend all Fellowship activities. Knight-Wallace Fellows are selected on the basis of past performance, future promise and leadership in some aspect of journalism by a committee of faculty and professionals. Care is taken to assemble classes of Fellows that mix the type and size of news organizations as well as personality, geography and background. Typically 12 Americans are joined by four to six international colleagues. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. Date: February 20, 2006 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Phillip H. Peters, Chair Audit & Finance Committee Dav id R. Lindberg RE: CMF 2006-07 Budget RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the 2006-07 CMF Core Services and Endowment Funds Budget as recommended by the CMF Executive and Audit & Finance Committees. Items to note: With the WKKF IV grant coming to an end on 3-31-06, 2006-07 will be the first year that CMF uses the Community Foundation Endowment Fund to support technical assistance to community foundation members. The fund which has a balance of approximately $7,700,000 as of 12-31-05, was established from the interest earnings on the Kellogg Challenge Grant dollars for community foundations that ran through CMF in the 1990s. This change in funding for community foundation services has caused a shift in some expenses back to the CMF Core Services budget. For comparative purposes the main portion of the budget presentation will focus in the combined results of the WKKF IV grant and CMF Cores Services. CMF Core/Community Foundation Services Revenue Note 1: Spendable Income Income available for spending for the various endowment funds is base on a 5% spending policy using a 20 quarter rolling average of the investment balance of each fund. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2005-06\3.2.06 Meeting Materials\Budget.doc �Budget Memo Page 2 Note 2: Membership Investment Based on payments received through 12-31-05 it appears membership will total $921 ,000 for 2005-06. For 2006-07 the following changes are budgeted: Catch up on underpayments Increase in asset levels of members New members Lost members $5,000 10,000 10,000 (4,500) When the latest membership investment increase was instituted in 2004-05 a few foundations elected to work up to the increase over a couple of years. The catch-up on underpayments would take this group into account plus other members that have been underpaying as a general practice. Due to the tightening of asset categories (which is how dues are calculated for the majority of our members) we're seeing an increasing number of members jump to a higher dues category as their asset increase due investment earnings and new contributions for the community foundations. Overall we have projected members assets to increase 5% for the year ending 12-3 1-05, which will be the basis for their 2006-07 membership investment payment. Note 3: Additional Member Contributions The bulk of this category includes the following anticipated major contributions. W.K. Kellogg Foundation C.S. Mott Foundation $150,000 30,000 In November 2005 CMF received a 5-year $150,000/yr grant from Kellogg to continue their additional contribution. Note 4: Other Grants In November 2005 CMF received a 3-year $25,000/yr grant from The Skillman Foundation to support the Southeast Michigan office. Note 5: Conference & Meetings The October 2006 Annual Conference, which w ill be held in Kalamazoo, is budgeted to earn a surplus of$102,000 (in line w ith the October 2005 conference). The increase from the prior year is due to: Additional attendance Boston College workshop 06-07 Institute for New Grantmakers 06-07 (new) Additional Sponsorship October 2006 Annual Conf. $8,000 22,000 10,000 �Budget Memo Page 3 Note 6: Publications Income The 15th Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2006 generating revenue of $81 ,000 in 2006-07. Overall the Directory, which is published every two years, is budgeted to generate a two year surplus of $39,000. Sponsorship of $10,000 has been budgeted for the Membership Roster scheduled to be released in 2006-07. Note 7: Investment Earnings The decrease from 2005-06 for the Core Budget is due to the projected decrease in special project funds, primarily Joyce Early Childhood, MIDAP and Technology projects. Expenses Note 8: Wages & Benefits Overall we have budgeted a 4% wage increase for 2006-07. Based on the changes noted below CMF will be reducing staff by 1.5 FTE in 2006-07 from our current level, and since fiscal year 2001-02, CMF will have reduced staff from 19.4 FTE to 14.8 FTE. • • With the recent departure of the Office Manager, the part-time Office Assistant and Office Manager positions are budgeted to be consolidated into a one FTE job share position, reducing staff by .5 FTE. With the Director of Knowledge Management position being vacated in February 2006, existing staff that we anticipate will be freed up from special projects which are starting to wind down (MIDAP and LTG), w ill cover this work. One staff member has a Masters Degree in L ibrary Science and the other is the Director of Membership and Special Projects. Overall Wages & Benefits are budgeted to increase slightly due to the follow: • 4% wage increase • Filling the Communications Specialist position that has been vacant since April 2005. • Reduction in staff time devoted to special projects. Note 9: Occupancy The condo association which houses the Grand Haven office is looking at some building improvements which we have budgeted at $5,000 for 2006-07. Note 10: Postage The increase from 2005-06 is primarily due to the cost associated with shipping out the 15th Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory. �Budget Memo Page 4 Note 11: Technology Overall technology costs should decrease slightly in 2006-07 due to the replacement of several staff computers in late 2005-06, in order to take advantage of large discounts offered by Dell Computers. Note 12: Communications/Publications 1 The increase from 2005-06 is primarily due to the $48,000 in costs associated with the 15 h Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory. Note 13: Professional & Contracted Services The decrease from 2005-06 is due to the completion of evaluation services that were required under the WKKF IV grant. Amounts budgeted for 2006-07: Public Affairs Assoc. Legal Audit Newsclip Service CF CEO Mentoring Strategic Planning Consult. CF Endowment $6,000 7,000 CMF Core $18,000 8,500 4,500 4,000 10,000 3,000 Note 14: Travel CMF is planning to approach some key infrastructure funders to cover national and international travel for community foundation staff, and therefore we have decreased this line item for the Community Foundation Endowment Fund for 2006-07. Note15: Overhead Allocation In 2000-01 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 2006-07 are: Michigan Individual Account ProjectMIDAP Learning to Give - LTG Michigan AIDS Fund $3,000 5,000 4,000 This overhead rate will be reviewed in 2006-07 by the Audit and Finance Committee as recommended by the Executive Committee. �Budget Memo Page 5 Note 16: Mini-Grants New funding sources will be sought for the mini-grants in 2005-06 that support the following items for community foundations: • Registration Fees CMF Annual Conference • Travel Subsidy CMF Annual Conference • Travel Subsidy Community Foundation CEO & Program Officers' Retreats Note 17: Other Grants The projected amount for 2005-06 includes grants (which must be disbursed by 3-31-06) to support special community foundation initiatives. �Budget Memo Page 6 Endowment Funds Investment Income for 2006-07 is budgeted at 5% based on our current asset mix of70% equities and 30% fixed income.

Peters, Chair, Audit & Finance Committee RE: CMF 12-31-05 Financial Statements RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the December 31, 2005, Internal Financial Statements as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. Overall we expect CMF Core Operations to generate a surplus of $189,000 for the year ending 3-3 1-06. This is due to the following line item variances which are explained further in this memo: Line item Membership Investment Additional Membership Investment Publication Income Investment Earnings Wages & Benefits Technology Annual Conference Surplus Addition to Surplus ($12,000) (20,000) (15,000) 90,000 65,000 24,000 42,000 Core Operations Internal Statement of Activities Note 1: Membership Investment The projected variance from budget is due to a few members still paying less than the Membership Investment schedule calls for and an estimate for a few members that may not renew for 2005-06. Note 2: Additional Contributions Rob is in the process of working with the Mott Foundation staff to craft a multi-year request to renew the additional contribution in 2006-07. �Treasurer's Report Page 2 Note 3: Conference Income Thanks to the generous contributions from sponsors and some cost cutting measures it looks like the October 2005 conference will generate a surplus of $94,000 vs. a budget of $50,000 Note 4: Investment Income Investment Income has exceeded budget due to the rising interest rates (1.3% 2004 vs. 4.2% 1-10-06) and interest earnings on special projects funds, primarily the Joyce Early Childhood, IDA and Technology grants. Interest on these funds had totaled approximately $45,000 to date. Note 5: Wages & Benefits The favorable variance is due to the following: MSHDA Grant Support Not Budgeted Admin Fees Aspen/Mott Better Together Communications Associate departure in March 2005 Wages to Tobacco Settlement Grant $7,100 10,000 25,900 12,100 Note 6: Technology The projected costs savings are primarily in the areas of software upgrades or purchases that were not needed or cost less than budgeted along with outside support/technical assistance costs being less than anticipated. �Treasurer's Report Page 3 lcMF Endowment Funds!

February 20, 2006 To: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: David R. Lindberg Re: December 31, 2005, Investment Report RESOLVED that the December 31, 2005 Investment Report be accepted, as recommended by the CMF Investment Committee. On February 23, 2006, the CMF Investment Committee will meet to review and approve the enclosed reports. 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 December 31, 2005 is the first period in which I 0 year investment return numbers are now available for the endowment pool. The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula 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% �Investment Report 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 of Finance to rebalance the endowment fund portfolios on a quarterly basis. To keep administrative time to a minimum CMF maintains one checking account to pay all endowment fund expenses. The negative cash balances are 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 and the Cambridge & Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations the committee has recently added the TIFF Multi-Asset fund for comparative purposes. The TIFF product is unique in the fact that it offers smaller foundations access to alternative investment products which have enhanced returns over the last several years. The reason this report lags the CMF Investment Report by one quarter is due to the time it takes Cambridge to collect the results from the pool participants.

Dottie is out of the country and sends her support. We also look forward to introducing you to Bill Hoogterp, a Michigan native and founder of The League. RESOLVED, that the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) as the sole member of Learning To Give, a Michigan nonprofit corporation (LTG), hereby approves the transactions between LTG and The League, a New J ersey nonprofit corporation, as set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding as presented to the Trustees, and further ratifies the actions of the LTG Board of Trustees in connection with these transactions. Background At CMF's November 2004 Board Meeting in Dearborn, a resolution was approved creating Learning to Give as a Supporting Organization ofCMF. The background information at that meeting stated a goal to have a plan before you within two years that would advance our shared goal of taking Learning to Give to scale as a national initiative reaching millions of school children throughout our country and even internationally. In exploring the limited options available to us due to declining resources, we have focused our efforts during the past year on an Affiliation Agreement with a new nonprofit corporation based in New Jersey called The League. As we shared w ith you at our Annual Members Meeting last October in Traverse City, the Board of LTG and staff see The League as the viable partner to take Learning to Give to national scale. In addition, we are indeed grateful to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for approving a three year $5.8 million dollar grant to LTG to support this partnership with The League. This grant serves two distinct purposes that you will see referenced in the attached Memorandum of Understanding. First, LTG is creating a three million dollar endowment fund that will be used to maintain the content currently on the LTG website and develop new content. Second, LTG will enter into a three year grant agreement with The League for the remaining $2.8 million to support the launch of The League powered by Learning to Give. �Learning to Give February 20, 2006 Page 2 The LTG Board met on February 13 and approved the following six resolutions: RESOLVED that the Learning to Give (LTG) Board of Trustees (Board) approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The League and present the MOU to LTG's sole member, the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), for ratification with the MOU becoming effective no sooner than March 3, 2006 contingent upon this approval. RESOLVED further that the $5.8 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation be accepted, and the Executive Director of LTG and CMF President be authorized to develop with legal review a three-year grant agreement with The League for the $2.8 million earmarked in the grant for taking LTG to scale through The League. RESOLVED further that an endowment fund for LTG, specifically for the maintenance of the existing content on the LTG website and the development of new content, be created and managed for a period of three to five years as identified in the MOU as one of the endowment funds managed by CMF, the sole member of LTG, as of the date of the MOU, and further that the W.K. Kellogg Foundation be notified of LTG' s intent to transfer the endowment fund to The League according to the provisions in the MOU. RESOLVED further that the LTG Board of Trustees adopt the Council of Michigan Foundations & Supporting Organizations' Endowed Funds Investment Policy Statement. RESOLVED further that an officer of LTG be authorized to sign all appropriate documents, such as the MOU and grant agreement with The League. RESOLVED further that the Board of Trustees of LTG extends its highest appreciation to Kathy Agard, Executive Director of LTG, for her vital role in the development of LTG, her innovative leadership and now many contributions in developing this recommended partnership with The League. In accordance w ith the above resolutions we are only attaching the Memorandum of Agreement and License Agreement - not Attachments A-F- for your review. If you wish to review any of the Attachments, please let Sue Cuddington know so she can email them to you. The Board of LTG is excited about this development in the history of LTG. We are proud of all that Kathy and her staff, with the involvement of hundreds of teachers in Michigan, Indiana and across the country and about 10 million in foundation support, have accomplished with LTG. We will continue to exercise our fiduciary responsibility in monitoring the perfonnance of The League through both this MOU and three year grant agreement. We will look forward to providing you with an update at our Annual Members Meeting on Sunday October 15 in Kalamazoo. Thank you for your consideration of the proposed Resolution. �MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING This Memorandum of Understanding is entered into this 13 1h day of March, 2006 by and between THE LEAGUE, a New Jersey nonprofit corporation, and LEARNING TO GIVE, a Michigan nonprofit corporation ("LTG").

Advancing giving. September 7, 2005 Memo to: CMF Executive Committee S. Martin Taylor Diana R. Sieger Amanda Van Dusen Lloyd J. Yeo From: Robert S. Collier Dav id R. Lindberg CC: Julie F. Cummings RE: Revision to Resolution to Enter into Contracts RESOLVED that the President & Chief Executive Officer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of CMF and its supporting organizations, such printed resolutions deemed necessary to enter into contracts or agreements on behalf of the various corporations, so long as those contracts or agreements fall within current budget constraints as approved by the CMF Board of Trustees. Background In reviewing the original resolution Julie Cummings suggested language be added to clarify under what circumstances the President & CEO would be authorized to sign contracts or agreements, which we have incorporated to the revised resolution. With Julie's approval of the revised resolution we are asking the remaining Executive Committee members to approve this revision. The President and CEO position of CMF has been designated as the person authorized to sign all necessary contracts and agreements that may be necessary to carry on the operations of CMF and the various supporting organizations. Occasionally a contract or agreement requires that a resolution of the Board be adopted authorizing the President & CEO to such document. To prevent delays in these transactions, management is recommending the Executive Committee adopt this standing resolution as recommended by CMF legal counsel, Clark Hill. Please indicate your approval below and fax back to Barb Dryer's attention at 616-842-1760.

February 21, 2006 Memo to: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Proposed Plan of Work for 2006-2007 cc: Vicki Rosenberg Dave Lindberg On behalf of the management team and staff, I am pleased to enclose the proposed plan of work for 2006-2007 with the following resolution for your consideration. RESOLVED that the Plan of Work for 2006-07 as recommended by the Executive Committee be approved. The Plan of Work builds on the six priorities discussed by our chairperson at the Annual Members Meeting last October in Traverse City. Those priorities are listed on the left side of the first page of the Plan. In the update of the Strategic Plan we will be discussing both the priorities and the revised metrics on the right hand side of page one. The metrics were fine tuned as a result of the discussion with the Executive Committee and an additional metric was added on phone contact with every member. In her presentation of the Plan of Work, Vicki w ill be highlighting accomplishments of this past year, as well as new tactics for 2006-07 that are in bolded ital ics throughout the document. The Education section of the Plan also includes an Audience analysis for the first time, because we feel it is important to demonstrate that we are serving all of our constituent groups. As we do every year, an updated Organizational Chart is included at the end of the Plan of Work. Our Plan of Work and Budget process, led effectively by Vicki and Dave, continues to get better each year. We look forward to discussing the Plan of Work with you. �~-'l.A~Coundlof ----- Priorities Regulatory Environment AccountabllltyJEffectlveness Mission: To strengthen, promote and increase philanthropy in Michigan.

Knowledge Resources & Communications Additional components of the Communications Plan approved by the Board being added this spring, include: • Communications and Marketing Advisory Council, chaired by Mitch Hurst, webmaster, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and served by members from family, community, corporate and independent foundations. The Council will serve as a critical feedback group to the CMF Communications Team toward strengthening overall communications activities to best serve members; and • Communications List Serve to facilitate and strengthen two-way communication with members improving the ease with which: (a) members can submit press releases, staff and trustee changes, awards and recognitions, job announcements, new initiatives and other information for posting on the website or inclusion in CMF publications; and (b) CMF can solicit names of experts to quote, initiatives, photos, grants to highlight or other information for inclusion in its communications vehicles. 30 new items have been added to the public policy area of www.cmif.org, and a new Policymakers Area has been developed to educate and inform Michigan legislators about the work of CMF members, CMF and the Office of the Foundation Liaison. The site, to be launched in March 2006, will offer: (I) examples of public-private partnerships; (2) a list of Michigan foundations by legislative district; and (3) CMF member foundations who can provide expert testimony on various topics. Marketing of the site will begin during the Foundations on the Hill visit. Attachment C provides a list of the many articles and resources provided through the key communications tools - CMF News Wire, Memo to Members and E-News. Tools, including a PowerPoint presentation directed at trustees and a Resource Guide directed at staff, from the EngAGEment Initiative, funded with a matching grant from Grantmakers in Aging, were introduced at the February Community Foundations CEO Retreat. The tools are designed to educate community foundation staff and trustees about issues facing the aging in their communities; encourage them to increase their support to address those issues; and share case studies of successful strategies used by other community foundations to do so. V. Technology CMF recently agreed to be one of eight launch partners in the Forum of Regional Associations' (Forum) Knowledge Management Initiative (KMI). As a leading voice in the design, development and oversight of the KMI, CMF is able to: • Achieve goals of its 3-year Technology Plan (approved by the Board in summer 2003); • Realize significant cost savings which make it possible to expand work beyond the 3-year Technology Plan • Support increased capacity development across CMF's 31 sister regional associations which should result in increased service to all grantmaking members. The first phase of enhancements to the CMF website include: secure on-line registration, a content management system to allow non-technical staff to maintain the website, improved searchability and easier navigation, members' access to their member profile and access to a �President's Report February 2006 Page 5 knowledgebase of resources. Future improvements will include: an online database of member grants and a special area for the press. VI. Partnerships In October, Julie Ford, Public Policy Associate, shared CMF' s public policy work and the work of the Office of the Foundation Liaison with 15 members of the League of California Community Foundations. On November 30, Thorn Clark, President of the Community Media Workshop in Chicago was the featured presenter at the fifth annual Land Use Funders Convening in Lansing, titled Growth Management, Urban Equity, and Land Protection. More than 100 nonprofit environmental organizations and grantmakers participated. Earlier in February the Forum of Regional Associations convened a group of leaders from regional associations of grantmakers to create a strategic vision for the Forum's Grantmaker Education Task Force. Vicki Rosenberg co-chaired the meeting which was facilitated by Bob Tobin. The Task Force will convene a follow-up meeting this spring with leading researchers, grantmaker education program developers such as The Grantmaking School at the Johnson Center, GVSU and GrantCraft, a program of the Ford Foundation and potential partners including the Council on Foundations, Grantmakers for Effective Organizations and others. The goal is to increase the scope and quality of learning opportunities available to foundation staff and trustees through a national collaborative led by the Forum and connected to premier program developers. In February, Donnell Mersereau, Director, Community Foundations, returned to Florida to provide additional technical assistance to the Federation of Florida Community Foundations and met with the Knight Foundation to discuss models of collaboration in other states. Ms. Mersereau, along with MCFYP Program Associate, Mike Goorhouse and MCFYP Committee member, Nipa Begum provided a day-long training to the youth and adult advisors of "Toward a More Perfect Union" in Jupiter, Florida. 18 young people and 7 adults participated in ice-breakers, grant simulations, small group discussions on best practices and interactive sessions on needs assessments and asset mapping. Also in February, Ms Mersereau attended the Transatlantic Community Foundation Network Academy on "The Future of Community Foundations in North America and Europe" at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. In March, Donnell will travel to Nebraska to provide technical assistance on Regional Marketing to the Nebraska Community Foundation-as statewide community foundation with 154 affiliate funds and to participate in a three day training on Rural Community Building. On April 10, CMF will host one offour focus groups being held across the nation by Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO). The focus groups will inform GEO's Change Agent Project (CAP) which seeks to provide grantmakers with resources, ideas and connections that can improve the effectiveness of their grantmaking. �President's Report February 2006 Page 6 Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures On February 16 the first Board of Trustee's meeting of the newly named Midwest Community Foundations Ventures was held in Ann Arbor.

February 21, 2006 To: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chair, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President & COO RE: Progress Report on Diversity and Inclusion This winter, CMF made important progress on its co1mnitment to diversity and inclusion through the following initiatives and activities. Internal Cultural Competency Assessment & Improvement CMF recently contracted Barbara Rapaport, a Grand Rapids based consultant, to help it assess and strengthen internal capacity and systems around cultural competency. This work will advance the Board resolution on diversity and inclusion passed in February 2002 (see p . 2) and recommendations made by members at CMF's May 2003 Leadership Retreat for Diversity and Inclusion. (see page 2 for Rapaport bio). Goals for the initiative are to: • Increase staff awareness and understanding of the business case for increased cultural competency and diversity within CMF • Improve internal capacity and systems to: effectively serve an increasingly diverse membership; and recruit and retain members and staff whose contributions are respected and valued because of the diversity of ideas, experiences and backgrounds they contribute. The process includes: • Engaging staff in: identifying aspects of our internal culture that support/inhibit achievement of strategic goals; suggesting tactics that can address gaps and lead to a more inclusive culture; filling gaps via staff training, new or redesigned: systems (policies, job descriptions, accountability measures, etc.), communications strategies and messages, and processes and tools for recruiting diverse members, trustees and staff. • Obtaining key stakeholder input • Sharing information with members and partners through: an article in the summer 2006 issue of Memo to Members, a case study, a presentation to the Board (October 2006), and a session at the 341h annual conference • Creating new or improved member services. Association of Black Foundation Executives (ABFE) At the 33rd Annual Conference in Traverse City, CMF hosted its first reception for an emerging network of African-American member. In remarks to the group, I expressed CMF' s interest in facilitating the network 's activities through, for example, coordinating meetings and events, providing communications tools, assisting with program development and hosting a reception at future annual conferences. Discussions have begun with network leaders about ways CMF can continue providing support for this important member affinity group. �Progress Report on Diversity & Inclusion February 21, 2006 Page 2 CMF Board Resolution (February 2002) Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was RESO LVED that the following statement on diversity and inclusion be adopted as presented: "We strive to model and promote diversity and inclusion as a means to strengthen the work of grantmakers.

Advancing giving. February 21, 2006 Memo to : Members of the Board of Trustees From: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson Rob Collier, President Re: Update of Strategic Plan cc: Bob Tobin, Facilitator, Vicki Rosenberg and Dave Lindberg The following Resolution is presented for your consideration and action: RESOLVED that the Strategic Plan be updated for 2006-07 and the Mission of CMF be changed from "To improve, increase and enhance philanthropy in Michigan" to "To strengthen, promote and increase philanthropy in Michigan." Background Bob Tobin from the Williams Group will be joining us to facilitate an update of the Strategic Plan. It seems like yesterday- actually it was 2001 -that the Board of Trustees worked with Bob on the Strategic Plan. Attached are two documents: the Strategic Plan Overview adopted in February 2002, and a draft Strategic Plan Update developed by staff. As you compare the two documents, you will note that staff has updated the SWOT analysis and revised the metrics from the original document. We will update the Member Expectations Section by April I with the results of the 2006 Member Survey. We have asked Bob to focus on four issues: 1. Revising the Mission Should the words "improve and enhance" be replaced by "strengthen and promote"? 2. Confirming the Strategic Questions Are these the right questions for the Board of Trustees to be asking? 3. Reaffirming the Goals After extensive discussion, especially about educate and promote, staff is not recommending changes. 4. Aligning the Priorities and Proposed Metrics - the basis for the new Plan of Work Do the proposed metrics measure the key priorities? We have time to address other issues should they come up. We look forward to a lively discussion as we update our Strategic Plan! �Council of M ichi an CMF Foun~ations 2002 - 2005 STRATEGIC PLAN OVERVIEW Servinggrantmakers.Advancinggiving Vision Metrics To achieveby4-l-2004 Mission Situation Analysis • As a membership organization, our mission is t o increase, enhance, and improve philanthropy in Michigan.

Louis Felton, Kalamazoo Community Foundation and CMF trustee; Floyd Parks, Irving S. Gilmore Foundation and Harold and Grace Upjohn Foundation; and Margaret "Peg" Talburtt, the James A. and Faith L. Knight Foundation. See Attachment One for a committee roster. Schedule The Conference will officially begin at 3:00pm on Sunday, October 15 with our opening keynote and conclude at 2:00pm on Tuesday, October 17. The Conference will take place at the Radisson Hotel & Suites in Kalamazoo. The Conference will provide participants with a wide array of learning and networking opportunities through: • 3 keynote sessions. Negotiations are in process with desired keynote speakers which include: Rob Reiner, philanthropist and early childhood advocate; Sara Jones, actress, currently performing in her smash one-woman show on Broadway, "Bridge & Tunnel," about the American immigrant experience; Ira Glass, producer and host of National Public Radio's "This American Life" which is being produced as a TV series to air next fall; Dr. David Satcher, fanner U.S. Surgeon General; Dan Rather, journalist; and Dave Barry, humorist and commentator. • 8 feature sessions including the annual Washington & Lansing Update and Economic Outlook • 18 concurrent sessions • 6 site sessions at near-by venues including Reverend Felton's Galilee Missionary Baptist Church • 4 special opportunities including pre-conference sessions and experienced grantmaker workshops See Attachment Two for the current schedule. �Annual Conference Update May 25, 2006 Page 2 Improvements Improvements being introduced this year include: • An explicit set of goals and expectations for the conference were discussed and vetted with the Conference Committee at its May 10 meeting. These are directly tied to the Board of Trustee' s goals for and CMF's commitment to increasing its cultural competency and to recognizing, respecting and attracting members from diverse backgrounds. Goals - to develop and hold a conference that: 1. Recognizes, honors and reflects CMF' s diverse membership 2. Provides participants w ith opportunities to: • Reflect, refresh and network with peers • Be exposed to the latest know ledge about issues and opportunities facing philanthropy • Learn at least one new skill, resource, etc. that will help them be more effective Expectations: • Conference events and environment will honor, respect and welcome all participants • All materials will clearly communicate CMF' s commitment to diversity and inclusion • Speakers, moderators, events and resources will reflect CMF 's diverse membership • A new Sponsorship Recruitment strategy designed to increase sponsorship levels and the national visibility ofCMF, the annual conference and Michigan foundations. Specific changes include: (1) a new prospect list focused on state, regional and national companies providing foundations with financial management, investment, executive search, communication and general consulting services; and (2) a redesigned recruitment packet that more effectively showcases CMF' s credibility and reach within the state and national philanthropic c01mnunity. See Attachment Three. Letters were mailed to 48 state and 82 national fim1s in April. Follow-up activities are underway. To date, we have secured $40,000 ($15,000 from both The lies Group at Merrill Lynch and Comerica Bank; and $2,500 from both the Whirlpool Foundation and The Williams Group). And, two of our Kalamazoo members - the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation and Arcus Foundation - and The Skillman Foundation and JP Morgan Chase have each generously offered to provide support for specific conference sessions or activities. • An improved marketing strategy that will be launched in mid-June with the Conference web area quickly followed by mailing of the registration brochure. This follows the April 2006 mailing of the Save-the-Date postcard to 4,600 individuals associated with CMF member and eligible non-member foundations. The non-member foundation database has been updated to ensure that our messages reach this important target audience. • Improved outreach to special audiences during the Conference via: o A welcome breakfast for new members and first time attendees o Opportunities for CMF affinity groups including the Michigan Forum for AfricanAmerican Philanthropy and the emerging Communications Affinity group o A track day for community foundations and youth grantmakers �Annual Conference Update May 25,2006 Page 3 We look forward to providing you with additional updates as the conference program takes shape.

Advancing giving. May 17,2006 Memo to: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, Vicki Rosenberg, Dave Lindberg Re: Update on Cultural Competency Initiative cc: Barbara Rapaport, Real-time Perspectives, Inc. At the March Board Meeting we shared in the President's Report that Barbara Rapaport has been retained to aid us with the Cultural Competency Initiative. We selected Barbara both on the strong recommendation of Bob Tobin from The Williams Group and from our appreciation of her methodology that would first start with a thorough internal assessment, using surveys, one on one interviews and workshops, of the whole staff including the management team. Her initial internal tasks are now completed from the assessment and have yielded the following useful and compelling insights. 1. CMF' s leadership team and staff are aligned in their view of the importance of establishing organizational goals and priorities based on the needs of members. There is tremendous pride in CMF being seen as leading edge in the areas of member services and advocacy as well as a strong desire to maintain this innovative "market" position in the future. 2. However, a gap exists between the leadership team's perspective and the staffs perspective on what constitutes effective collaboration internally at CMF. The source ofthis gap appears to be an unintended outcome ofCMF's external focus- a belief on the part of staff that in an effort to meet and exceed member expectations, focus on some internal requirements may have been lost. This gap was defined in terms of the need for: (a) improved internal communications, specifically more widespread information sharing; (b) new approaches to shared decision-making; (c) more effective management of priorities; and (d) specific and innovative approaches to mentoring and career development. These findings have been openly shared with CMF staff. As a group we have decided to create two task teams led by staff: one to work on short tenn communication issues such as restructuring staff meetings, developing an orientation for new hires, and better sharing information with all staff from directors meetings. The second Task Team will be looking at career development issues, such as placing staff with members for job shadowing experiences, and reviewing the performance evaluation process. In addition, we have asked Barbara to submit a proposal to work with the management team on coaching skills and how we can more effectively manage the day to day activities of the main office. Specifically we hope to: �Cultural Competency Initiative May 17, 2006 Page 2 1. Redesign the organizational structure to increase overall performance. 2. Refine performance review and reward systems to increase staff effectiveness and satisfaction. 3. Improve their individual and collective competencies relative to mentoring of staff and day-to-day implementation of strategic priorities. This internal assessment and the related activities that we undertake will aid CMF in better serving our members while more effectively deploying our staff resources- the most important investment this organization has. At the same time, Barbara has started the external assessment with a stakeholder focus group of members held on March 31. This group included CMF Trustees Libby Cherin and Gerald Smith and a cross-section of members who provided such valuable input, that a decision was made to conduct two additional input sessions in June 2006. The consensus from this focus group and internal assessment is that the Board needs to provide "explicit and concrete affirmation that cultural competency is a priority- truly front and center- no matter what other urgencies may seek to detract from it." The feedback gleaned from these additional sessions will inform the development of a formal cultural competency strategy. This strategy w ill be on the agenda for review and approval at the Board of Trustees October 2006 meeting. To respond to the first focus group and to demonstrate CMF's commitment to embracing cultural competency, the 2006 Annual Conference Committee, as reflected in their report, has already begun to filter all key decisions through a screen aimed at increasing cultural competency awareness and sensitivity. During the summer months, Barbara will also work with staff on: • an internal audit of: internal and external communications; personnel policies and practices; and program policies, procedures and practices, and • initial training designed to: (a) increase staffs awareness and understanding of cultural competency; and (b) provide opportunities to practice new behaviors aligned with the outcomes of the cultural competency initiative. In addition she will prepare a case study for use at the Annual Conference about CMF's experience in transitioning to a more culturally competent organization. The purpose of the case study is to help others learn from and possibly move their organization forward based on CMF's experiences. In sum, we are pleased with the progress to date. Our experiences thus far confirm that the goals of the Initiative, first formed in 2002, remain relevant - to model and promote diversity and inclusion, to create an environment of respect for all, to understand and value the range of perspectives represented by CMF members, to seek out and serve a diverse and inclusive membership, and to encourage all of CMF's stakeholders to develop their own commitment to diversity and inclusion for the future of philanthropy in Michigan. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

May 17,2006 To: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance/Administration Re: March 31, 2006 Investment Report The following Resolution is presented for consideration: RESOLVED that the March 31,2006, Investment Report be accepted, as recommended by the CMF Investment Committee. On May 16, 2006, the CMF Investment Committee met to review and approve the enclosed reports. On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV), Learning to Give (LTG) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds. Recent Activity of the Committee During the past quarter, three new endowment funds have been established to further the work of CMF and its supporting organizations. William C. Richardson Endowment Fund In recognition of former W.K. Kellogg Foundation CEO, Dr. William C. Richardson's, service to philanthropy in Michigan and his leadership in advancing the engagement of philanthropy in public policy, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation made a $400,000 gift to establish this Fund. The purpose of this Fund is to support the ongoing involvement of an internship/fellowship at CMF by students from Michigan colleges or universities, who are interested in careers involving the nonprofit sector and public policy. Carl F. Reitz Fund for Investment Education In recognition of Mr. Reitz's long time service to CMF and philanthropy in Michigan the Besser Foundation made a $25,000 gift to establish this fund which was matched by $25,000 from CMF. The purpose of this fund is to support ongoing investment education opportunities for foundation staff and trustees. Learning to Give Endowment Fund In February 2006 the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded a $3 million endowment grant that wi ll be insure the continued free web based access for teachers of the more than 800 �Investment Report Page 2 lesson plans, briefing papers and other contents produced by Learning to Give in defining and creating school-based K-12 philanthropy education by teaching children the content about giving their time, talent, and treasure for the common good. Recent Investment Committee meetings have focused on enhancing the investment returns of the endowment funds by looking at alternative investment products. If the committee decides investments in these types of products are appropriate, the CMF Investment Policy will need to be revised and brought to the Board for formal approval. The enclosed Investment Report is presented in three sections. Investment Performance Report Started in December 2005, the main portion of the endowment pool has now been around long enough to include a 10 year investment return. The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula 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% �Investment Report Page 3 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 Finance/Administration to rebalance the endowment fund portfolio on a quarterly basis. Investment Performance Comparison Report In addition to the Lipper returns and the Cambridge & Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations, the committee has recently added the TIFF Multi-Asset fund for comparative purposes. The TIFF product is unique in the fact that it offers smaller foundations access to alternative investment products which have enhanced returns over the last several years. The reason this report lags the CMF Investm ent Report by one quarter is due to the time it takes Cambridge to collect the results from the pool participants.

The accounting rules require us to book the entire grant amount as revenue in the year the grant commitment was made even though the revenue supports future year activities. Grant Kellogg Additional Member Contribution ($600,000 for 2006-07 to 2009-2010) Skillman Detroit Office Support ($75,000 2006-07 to 2008-09) Additional Revenue Booked Per Audit $536,345 72,122 The revenue noted represents the present value of the future payments to be received. �Audit Report May 17, 2006 Page 2 Combined Statement of Financial Position Cash The increase from the prior year is primarily due to the $5.8 million dollar grant awarded to Leaming to Give, ofwhich $4.2 million was received by 3-31-06. Investments The increase from the prior year is primarily due to market gains and rebalancing the cash portion of the endowment funds into equities and fixed income products. Net Assets- Undesignated The decrease from the prior year is due to the disbursement of interest eamings on the Kellogg KYIP grant dollars which are classified as unrestricted. Net Assets- Board Designated- Community Foundation Endowment Fund The increase from the prior year is due to investment eamings in 2005-06. Net Assets- Permanently Restricted Increase is due to the following new endowment funds that were established in 2005-06. Williams C. Richardson Endowment Fund Carl F. Reitz Endowment For Investment Education Leaming to Give Endowment Fund $400,000 50,000 3,000,000 Combined Statement of Activities Member Contributions The increase from the prior year is due to the five year $750,000 general operating support grant received from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The $686,345 represents the present value of the future payments scheduled through 2009. �Audit Report May 17, 2006 Page 3 Grant Support The increase from the prior year is primarily due to the following new grants received in 2005-06: Richardson Endowment - Kellogg Reitz Endowment LTG Endowment- Kellogg LTG Lilly Grant LTG/League Grant- Kellogg $400,000 50,000 3,000,000 800,000 2,708,000 Investment Income The increase from the prior year is due to the rising interest rates in 2005-06. Net Unrealized and Realized Gains The increase from the prior year is due to market gains on the endowment funds in 200506.

May 17,2006 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Phillip H. Peters, Chair, Audit Comm ittee RE: CMF 3-31-06 Core Operations Internal Financial Statements RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the March 31, 2006, CMF Core Operations & Endowment Funds Internal State of Activities, as recommended by the CMF Audit and Finance Committee. Differences between Internal Statements and Audited Statements Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from the W .K. Kellogg Foundation for additional dues and The Skillman Foundation to support the Detroit office, we will have a difference between the internal and audited statements for CMF Core Operations until both of these grants come to an end. The accounting rules require us to book the entire grant amount as revenue in the year the grant commitment was made even though the revenue supports future year activities. Grant Kellogg Additional Member Contribution ($600,000 for 2006-07 to 2009-201 0) Skillman Detroit Office Support ($75,000 2006-07 to 2008-09) Additional Revenue Booked Per Audit $536,345 72,122 The revenue noted represents the present value of the future payments to be received. The main item that should be noted in the attached Core Operations statement is the fact that we have ended the year with a surplus of $204,000. It should be noted with the major support from the Kellogg Foundation ending in 2005-06 the dues increase implemented in 2004-05 anticipated a surplus in 2005-06 to make up for the short fall anticipated in 2006-07. �Intemal Financial Statements May 17,2006 Page 2 Combined Statements of Financial Position Note 1: Member Contributions For 2005-06 we ended the year at $916,740 vs. the $921,000 projected for the CMF Board at the last board meeting. For 2006-07 we have budgeted dues at $944,000. The current year amount includes $29,000 in unpaid dues from 2005-06, which are expected to be collected in the coming year. Note 2: Investment Income Income has exceeded budget due to the rising interest rates (1.3% 2004 vs. 4.5% 3-3 1-06) and earnings on special projects funds- primarily the Joyce Early Childhood, IDA and Technology grants. Note 3: Wages The favorable variance is due to the following: MSHDA Support Not Budgeted Admin Fees Aspen/Mott Better Together Communications Assistant departure in April2005 Wages to Tobacco Settlement Grant $9,430 10,000 34,600 16,138 Note 4: Phone The variance from budget is due to an upgrade to the voice mail system in Grand Haven for $6,570 and the phone and voice mail system purchased for the new Detroit office ($1,166). Note 5: Technology The variance from budget is primarily in the following areas. Software upgrades Microsoft and iMIS PC's Support iMIS, MIP & SEMI office Web site support, hosting & Data on Call CMF News service (16,800) (4,300) (8,700) (10,900) (5,000) The positive variance in the technology budget is due to the following: �Intemal Financial Statements May 17, 2006 Page 3 • • • • capitalized on special offerings from hardware suppliers, resulting in a much lower cost to replace hardware for the organization savings attributed to new source of network engineer support (ITP) and monthly contract (flat-fee), in conjunction with handling more technical matters in-house planned-for support on various software products less than anticipated website upgrades being implemented through CMF's participation in the Forum KM Initiative, at substantial savings to CMF (and not charged to core technology budget) Reduction in technology costs has allowed us to replace hardware organization-wide and purchase an upgraded phone system, for which we had not even budgeted. Note 6: Communications/Publications The variance from budget is due to the following items: Misc. consulting not used Editorial Consultant expenses less than budget Foundation Center fees for Directory work less than budget Guide to Administering Scholarship delayed until 2006-07 $2,500 2,600 2,200 5,000 Note 7: Professional Services The variance is the result of negotiating a reduced fee with Public Affairs Associates (PAA) for their monthly retainer.

Advancing giving. May 16,2006 Memo to : Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: Update of October 2000 Policy on Partnering with State Government At the May 5, 2006 conference call, the Executive Committee agreed to ask the Board of Trustees to review the October 2000 Resolution on CMF's Relationship with State Government as presented by the Government Relations Committee. The purpose of this review is to reaffirm that the Resolution is in alignment with CMF' s updated Strategic Plan and be updated if needed. Because community foundations are often sought as partners for more than just financial support, it is recommended that this criteria be added. RESOLVED that the October 2000 Resolution on Partnering with State Government be amended by adding: • Endorsement from the Community Foundations Committee when the proposed roles (such as convenor) for community foundations go beyond being asked for grant support. Background The October 2000 Resolution reads: " RESOLVED that CMF respond to opportunities to partner with State Government when the following criteria are in place: • There is evidence that the partnership opportunity shall advance the mission and goals ofCMF, • There is confirmation from advisors that the partnership is considered non-partisan, • CMF members support the proposed partnership, and • The Executive Committee reviews and approves entering into the Partnership. Since that Resolution has been passed, CMF has taken on the following partnerships: • Working with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) on the four year Emergency Homelessness Prevention Initiative, • Serving as fiscal agent for the Governor's Bi-Partisan Land Use Leadership Council, • Serving as Fiscal Agent for the Lt. Governor' s Commission on Higher Education and Workforce Development, and • Hosting the Joyce Foundation 's two year Early Learning Michigan Initiative for the Department of Human Services. Finally, the six year Michigan IDA Partnership ends on September 30, 2006 with transition to the Asset Building Policy Project of the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM). The Homelessness Prevention Initiative and Early Learning Michigan Initiative are also concluding in 2006. I look forward to your counsel on updating this Resolution. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. May 17,2006 To: Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson and Members, Board of Trustees From: Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President & COO and Kathy Ginocchio, Director of Technology Re: Preliminary Analysis of 2006 Biennial Member Satisfaction Survey The biennial Member Satisfaction Survey has now been completed. instead of sending it just to the main member contact as has been done in the past, we sent it to 3,235 member individuals for whom we have direct contact information. Expanding distribution to all member individuals is one of the strategies CMF introduced two years ago to build awareness about, engagement in and satisfaction among every individual trustee or employee of member organizations -all key factors in membership renewal. I. Who Responded? 327 members responded to the survey-- 265 via email and 62 in hard copy, a rate of slightly more than 10%, the national average for survey responses. Of those: • 57% of respondents are in leadership positions (33% trustees; 24% chief executives); • 13% are program officers/vice presidents for programs • 5% are financial officers • 25% play other roles • • • 62% of respondents have worked in philanthropy for 8 or more years, 30% for 2 to 8 years 8% for less than 2 years • • • • 54% are from community foundations 18% are from family foundations (which comprise 42% of CMF's membership) 15% represent independent foundations 3% are corporate givers 11. What Did They Tell Us? A. Value of Membership and Customer Service • • 100% of respondents rated the "overall value" of their membership as excellent (63%) or satisfactory (37%) 82% rated "customer service" as excellent (60%) or satisfactory (22%). 17% answered "don't know" �Member Satisfaction Survey May 17, 2006 Page 2 B. Level of Engagement in Services and Activities • 44% of respondents rate themselves as being minimally engaged • 38% as moderate; and • 18% as high. Increasing engagement levels is a high priority for CMF. A variety of strategies are being designed to track member preferences to inform increased target marketing. Lower than desired engagement levels are in part related to insufficient awareness about CMF services as indicated by the following responses. The good news is that members who know and use these services are very pleased with their q uality. C. Awareness of Services and Resources • 89% are very (58%) or moderately (31 %) aware of news and information services • 82% are very (47%) or moderately (35%) aware of representation with government in Lansing and Washington • 81% are very (43%) or moderately (38%) aware of networking opportunities • 72% are very (32%) or moderately ( 40%) aware of education programs and resources • 71% are very (29%) or moderately (42%) aware of technical assistance services • 64% are very (22%) or moderately (42%) aware of research services and the lending library • 56% are very (18%) or moderately (38%) of member discounts D. Satisfaction with Communications • 66% to 87% of respondents find the web site, £-news, Memo to Members and News Wire excellent or satisfactory. It is important to note that 13 to 32% marked "not applicable" indicating a lack of awareness. • Not surprisingly, 72% of respondents were unaware of Family Philanthropist which is sent only to family members. Of those aware of this publication, 99% rated it excellent or satisfactory. • 87% agree that CMF's news and information services provide value; • 82% find that news unique and not easily found elsewhere; • 92% find it timely and up to date. E. Impact and Help • CMF received its highest rating of excellence (82%) for its contributions to the success of philanthropy in Michigan with another 12% finding it satisfactory. • 70% frequently or sometimes contact us for help • 74% rated us excellent (50%) or satisfactory (24%) on our effectiveness in welcoming and serving a diverse membership, 2% rated us poor in this area and 22% marked not applicable.
