Date:

February 13, 2009

Memo to:

Melonie Colaianne, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Phil Peters, Chair, CMF Audit Committee, and
Dave L indberg, Vice President Finance &amp; Administration

RE:

CMF 2009-10 Budget

Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving.

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the 2009-10 CMF Core Services
and Endowment Funds Budgets as recommended by the CMF Audit &amp; Executive
Committees.
Background
On February 9, 2009, both the Audit Committee and Executive Committee had m eetings and
approved the enclosed budget. As noted in the Minutes of the Executive Committee, both
Committees also approved the following Core Member Services Surplus Sharing Plan on a
trial basis for 2009-10, in light of the wage freeze that management proposed.

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve a one year operating surplus
sharing system for 2009-10 in which all CMF staff working at least 16 hours a week,
except for those staff dedicated 100% to special projects, are eligible to share equally in
up to $10,000 of any Core Member Services surplus.
In conducting the annual review of the CMF personnel policies, management reports that
there are no changes proposed that have a financial impact on the 2009-10 budget. Health
insurance premiums have increased 13% effective January 1, 2009.

�CMF Core Member Services
Revenue
Note 1: Membership Investment
Based on payments received through 12-31-08 it appears membership will total $994,000 for
2008-09, which is the fifth year of the current dues structure.
Based on the investment market results we have estimated members' assets to decrease by
25% from the 12-31-07 level, which would drop many members into a lower dues category,
potentially reducing revenue by $ 120,000. As part ofthe renewal process we will ask
members to remain at their 2008-09 dues level if possible and have estimated this would
result in an additional $21,000, primarily from the larger members.
Revenue is budgeted to change due to the following items:
($120,000)
Decrease in members' asset levels
Members remain at 2008-09 level even those
21,000
whose assets result in lower dues category
Net new members 0 @ $each
0
Total
$99,000
The Membership Committee has been reactivated to help staff with efforts to retain members
as well as look at possible new member classifications.

Note 2: Additional Member Contributions
The bulk of this category includes the $150,000 contribution from Kellogg. 2009-10 is the
final year of the current five-year $150,000/yr grant commitment from Kellogg. Several
years ago we had success requesting additional funds with the membership renewal request
to cover specific items such as technology equipment, special publications, etc. , and have
budgeted to generate an additional $25,000 for types of items in 2009-10.
Note 3: Other Grants
In November 2005 CMF received a 3-year $25,000/yr grant from The Skillman Foundation
to support the occupancy cost for the Southeast Michigan office, which is located at
Skillman. 2008-09 represented the final year of this grant. Skillman has given CMF the
verbal approval to occupy the current space for one more year and this commitment should
be fonnalized by the end of February.

S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2008-09\2.24.09 Meeting Materials\Budget Memo.doc

�Note 4: Conference &amp; Meetings

The decrease in revenue and expenses is due primarily to the anticipated reduction in
attendees and sponsorship for the November 2009 Annual Conference. The Annual
Conference is budgeted to provide $100,000 to support a portion of the staff time to produce
this event vs. the $142,000 that was generated from the October 2008 conference. Total staff
time for the conference has been estimated at roughly $200,000 and is not currently charged
to the conference expense line item.
Note 5: Publications Income

The 16111 Edition ofthe Michigan Foundation Directory is budgeted to be ready for sale in the
summer of2009 listing only those foundations that accept applications vs. all foundations as
in prior editions. A print-only version will be produced, dropping the CD for this edition. In
addition, we have budgeted to sell for the first time Creating and Managing a Family
Foundation and are projecting 130 sales at $75 each.

$59,000

The overall surplus budgeted for the Directory is $37,000, which is produced every two
years.
Note 6: Investment Earnings

Due to the drop in the market value of the Operating Endowment Fund, less income will be
available for spending in 2009-10. The remaining interest from the operating funds, which is
invested in a money market account, should remain consistent with 2008-09.

Expenses
Note 7: Wages &amp; Benefits

No cost of living adjustment or merit increase has been budgeted for 2009- 10. $37,000 in
Core wages has been allocated to potential future special projects. $15,000 in savings has
been budgeted for the reductions in hours of the Director of Technology's position. These
two items are partially offset by the VP of Corporate Services position which was filled in
mid-November 2008.

S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2008-09\2.24.09 Meeting Materials\Budget Memo.doc

�Note 8: Equipment &amp; F urniture

The reduction is primarily due to the President's car that was purchased in 2008-09.
Note 9: Dues &amp; Sponsorships

$21 ,000 of this amount represents the dues payment to the Forum of Regional Associations
of Grantmakers.
Note 10: Communications/Publications

The change from the prior year is due to the following items:
Reduction in use of Editorial Consultant
Product costs 16tn Edition of Michigan
Foundation Directory

($19,000)
21 ,000

While a reduction in the hours of Mike Gallagher, our editorial consu ltant, is being
recommended, he will still focus on NewsWire. In addition, there is the potential to involve
his services through funding provided by Special Projects. Senior staff will be asked to do
more w riting both for the webs ite and CMF publications.
Note 11: Professional &amp; Contracted Services

The decrease from the prior year is due to the cancellation of the newsclip service since we
can now access member news via the internet.

Note 12: Travel

By reducing travel to national conferences we have been able to reduce this line item by
approximately 40%. There is no reduction in travel within Michigan because it would impact
our ability to serve members.

S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2008-09\2.24.09 Meeting Materials\Budget Memo.doc

�Endowment Funds
Spendable income is budgeted based on a 5% twenty-quarter rolling average spending
policy. Because the value of the 4 quarters that were dropped out of the 2009-10 calculation
were significantly lower than the four quarters added, spendable income has actual increased
for the coming year. The spendable income projected for 2010-11 assumes the market
remains flat for 2009.
William W. Allen Fund

The purpose of this fund is to further the understanding of private philanthropy in federal and
state legislative and regulatory matters. The fund was established with contributions from

Memo to:

Melonie Colaianne, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, President

Re:

371h Annua l Conference Update - Integration with IS

Attached is the latest DRAFT of the Memorandum of Understand ing (MOU) with
Independent Sector (IS) on integration of our 3 71h Annual Conference with their Annual
Conference on Wednesday, November 4 to Friday, November 6, 2009. I hope, with
Melanie's approval as noted in the Minutes of the Executive Committee Meeting, to sign
this MOU before the Board Meeting in order to keep the process moving.
Given the economy and Michigan's history and current status with IS, this is the time to
try th is new collaboration. CMF will fonn a small Conference committee to focus on the
following responsibilities:
A Michigan Themed Plenary just for Michigan grantmakers on Wednesday,
November 4 from I I :00 a.m. to I :00 p.m.
Development of 9 concurrent sessions focusing on grantmakers- family
foundations, community foundations, investment issues, etc.
Development of six issue based site sessions for Thursday aftemoon between 2:30
and .5:30p.m.
Development of one workshop for experienced gra ntmakers on Th ursday
aftemoon - most likely in partnersh ip with GrantCraft
Managing the Host event at the Detroit Institute of Arts on Wednesday evening,
November 4, and
Conducting our Annual Members Meeting Thursday moming at breakfast.
In addition, 5 CMF members and 4 Michigan Nonprofit Leaders, plus me, are on the IS
Program Committee, and 6 CMF members plus me are on the IS Host Committee, so
there is great opportunity for collaboration on all fronts. I attended the IS {Program
Committee Meeting on February 13 and reinforced the need for sessions on
communications and diversity and incl usion - to name just two of our mutual priorities.
The Host Committee still needs to raise $ 150,000 as Michigan's share and CMF must
raise $IOO,OOO for our core budget, so I am grateful and fortunate to have Dave Lindberg
and Kathy Ginocchio's help in keeping a c lose eye on the numbers.
Through this collaboration, I am hopefu l that we will add more value for CMF members
as well as help IS attract more grantmakers to its Annual Conference. Whi le the Opening
and Closing Plenaries are still being developed by IS, I will confirm that an invitation has
been sent to President Obama to join us all in Detroit.
I look forward to responding to any questions you may have at the Board Meeting.

MEMO RAN DUM OF UN DERSTAN DI NG
Between Independent Sect or a nd Council of Michigan Foundations
For Condu cting a Joint Co nferen ce
February 13, 2009

It is the intention of Independent Sector (IS) and the Council of Michigan Foundations
(CMF) to collaborate in bringing together their annual conferences for a jointly held
gathering in 2009. This memo outlines the understanding of both orga nizations in relation
to the roles and responsibilities of each in o rganizing, promoting, and financing the
conference.

DATE:

November 4, 2009 to November 6, 2009

LOCATION:

Detroit, Michigan

PRIMA Y VENUE:

Marriott Renaissance Hotel

The J oint Confer ence
IS and CMF agree that collaboration on the 2009 conference offers several benefits
to our members and to the organizations. These include, but are not limited to:
o Participants and potential sponsors of both organizations benefit from a
single con ference registration fee.
o Participants of both organizations benefit from the opportunity to interact
with leaders they might not otherwise meet.
o Participants of both organizations benefit from the programmatic
experi ence of two organ izations.
o IS benefits from the depth of reach and the reputation of the CMF in
Michigan.
o CMF benefits from the broad national reach and reputation of IS.
o IS benefits from CMF's co nnection to local vendors, wh ich may help to
reduce conference expenses, and IS has relationships with national
vendors.
As outlined in this memo, in some cases IS will "take the lead" in organizing
activities and in some cases CMF wi ll " take the lead." When this language is used, it
refers to which organization will have respo nsibility for initiating, maintaining the
timeli ne for and overseeing details for any particular set of activities.

�"In coordination with" refers to the expectation that wh ichever organization is
initiating an activity, that organization wi ll communicate with and seek feedback
from the other partnering organization.
The conference will be referred to onsite and in all onsite materials as the 2009
Independent Sector &amp; Council of Michigan Foundations Annual Conference.
This wi ll be the language featured on on-site conference supplies including tote bags,
signs, the program book, bio book and lanyards, etc. Both logos will appear on all
materials.
All conference registrants will have access to all open sessions, whether organized
by IS or CMF- this includes plenary sessions, off-site sessions and break out
sessions, except for the following:
o The CEO Track is open to heads of member organizations of IS. There
will be a cap of 40 participants for each regu lar CEO session, which will
be marketed first to IS members (including those with joint IS I CMF
membership). 10 seats in each session will be reserved for CMF members.
All CEO sessio n registration is on a first-come basis. The CEO Summit
will be fully open to all CEOs of IS and CMF members.
o IS invitation only events include the President's reception and a special
reception in honor of the Gard ner awardee.
o CMF invitation only events: CMF Wednesday Plenary Lunch, Reception

�Policy Review - CMF's Transfom1ing Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative

Introduction
Purpose
The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) approached the Community Research Institute (CRT) at the Johnson
Center at Grand Valley State University to undertake research and evaluation associated with CMF's Transforming
Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative. Several specific elements make up the body of
the research, including:
a survey of M ichigan foundations to quantify the demographics of organized philanthropy's staffs and
boards,
a survey of CMF's staff and board regarding their attitudes and perceptions of diversity,
tracking of CMF's external activities surrounding diversity,
tracking of recognition ofCMF as a leader in diversity,
and a review ofCMF's policies to determine how integral diversity and inclu sion are thereto.
This report focuses on that policy review; CRTdeveloped the methodology below to examine CMF's policies and
policy development processes.

Methodology
CRT conducted a comprehensive rev iew of the literature surrounding diversity in organizational policies and
established that there is no standard format for reviewing the role of d iversity in policy. CRT then looked to the
philanthropic literature to examine the potential for diversity in policy (please see Appendix I for a list of some of
the resources). T his literature review allowed CRI to outline best practices in the sector and to form these practices
into a rubric to be used when reading CMF's policies (please see Appendix II for this rubric). One key finding is
that d iversity and inclusion should permeate multiple policies rather than acting as a standalone policy. CRT then
read and analyzed all of the written policies which CMF had provided. While the rubric was a useful tool in this
process, CRT focused mainly on the following two questions:
In this section or e lement of the policy, is there a way that diversity and inclusion should be incorporated?
If there is a way that d iversity and inclusion should be integrated into this section of the policy, to w hat
extent does CMF take the oppornmity to incorporate them?
Beyond the examination of the policy documents themselves, CRT interviewed the entire staff of CMF as well as the
Council' s Board Chair, immediate past Board Chair, and Governance Committee Chair (p lease see Appendix III for
interview questions). The purpose of these interviews was to assess:
how included staff and board are in policy development,
how accessible policies are to staff and board members,
and how d iverse the policy makers are.

�Policy Review- CMF's Transfom1ing Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative

Discussion of Policies Overall
Necessity of Policies
One way to analyze policies is to focus on how they facilitate the way people work together for a unified cause in
the organization and the extent to which the policies ensure that people are moving in the same d irection. Policies
can take the form of rules, regulations, standards, decisions, and visions. Written policies serve as a skeleton to
support the work of an institution and can solidify informal practices to prevent divergent work. Moreover, policies
can also communicate an organization's values and methods to external audiences.
Policies work to formalize and document the work of an institution and are therefore affected by organizational
culture, internal environmen t, and leadership. Written policies can strengthen, reinforce, and even catalyze these
means of guiding an organization's practices. Clearly w ritten, policies allow an organization to have a precise,
unified understanding of expectations and standards, and can provide a means for accountability (assuming that
policies are implemented equitably).

CMF's Policies Overall
The most immediately noticeable aspect ofCMF's policies is that they are brief and few in number. The Bylaws
and the Emp loyee Handbook comprise the bulk of written policies, and interviewees stated that they are comfortable
with accessing these documents on the organization's shared drive and receiving annual updates via email and
meetings. The limited quantity of policies is intentional. During the course of the interviews it became c lear that
many of the staff thought that increased policies would be burdensome. The limited nature of the policies allows for
flexibility and nimbleness, which many interviewees cited as critical to CMF's ability to react to increased
community diversity in the future. This type of fluidity is specifically stated in the Employee Handbook: " In order
to retain the flexibility necessary to the effective administration of policies and procedures, CMF reserves the right
to change, revise, or eliminate any of the policies ... described in th is 'Handbook' ... "
While there are benefits to having policies which are small in scale, some anecdotes from the interviews suggest that
a minimal emphasis on policy has created some confusion about policies and feelings that certain informal practices
are not adequately documented-therefore potentially inhibiting equitable implementation.

Incorporation of Diversity and Inclusion in CMF's Policies
Considering CMF's relatively limited number of policies, it is no t surprising that some of the policies includ ed in
best practice models for incorporating diversity and inclusion are not present. For instance, CMF does not have a
policy stating that it strives to deal with diverse vendors, but there are no policies related to vendors at a ll. It is
important to note that a lack of policy does not necessarily translate to a lack of practice-CMF may very well make
every effort to do business with diverse vendors. Stated policies, however, can help solidify and nurture practices,
especially if they are associated with defined goals (to continue the vendor example, a goal may be to receive 30%
of supplies and services from diverse vendors).
With this in mind, the policies CMF does have varied in the degree to which they incorporate diversity and
inclusion. Most of the policies integrate gender inclusive language and some of them encourage inclusivity in
practice such as hiring and holiday time off. In fact, one of CMF's values is Inclusion, and the organization has a
c lear, multifaceted "Value on Inclusion" statement.
The next three sections of this report deal with the role of diversity and inclusion in policies specifically related to
CMF's staff, board, and membership. They are broken up into present strengths of the policies' incorporation of
diversity and inclusion and potential areas to become even more inclusive.

Discussion of Staff-related Policies
HR Procedure
P resen t: The document entitled Policies and Procedures Handbook and labeled " HR Procedure" is a brief two-page
overview ofCMF's procedures for hiring and exiting. One element of this policy is especially strong regarding
diversity and inclusion, while some other statements could be augmented to better incorporate these values. T he
policy specifically states that job postings will be sent to "publications that target minority candidates." This is
evidence that CMF is actively attempting to attract a d iverse workforce.
Poten tia l: To improve further, the policy could state the extent to which questions pertaining to d iversity and
inclusion are to be included in interviews (both pre-selection and exit). Further enhancing the section on interviews,
CMF could state that applicants will be interviewed by a diverse panel, as d ifferent points of view may provid e a
richer insight as to wh ich candidate would be optimal. Stating that new employees receive copies of the employee
handbook and diversity and inclusion value statement on their first day of work would also help exemplify CMF's
value of inclusion in the "HR Procedure" section.

Employee Handbook
The employee handbook comprises one of the largest parts of CMF's written policies. The areas of this document
pertaining to diversity and inclusion can be roughly divided into two classifications: equity and inclusion.

Equity
Presen t: There are several sections of the employee handbook that deal with diversity as it relates to fairness or
dictated by law. CMF' s equal employment opportunity policies are mentioned on the employee acknowledgement
form at the front of the handbook. Later in the document, the "Equal Employment Opportunity" section discusses
CMF's anti-discrimination policy and describes how an employee can report discrimination, but there is no mention
of encouraging diversity.
The section on harassment is exemplary. It prohibits harassment based upon numerous factors (race, ethnicity, age,
religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc.) in addition to sex and protects employees w ho
report threatening treatment. The policy goes on to state that no t only is the harassment of one staff member by
another forbidden, an employee's mistreatment of anyone w hile o n CMF business o r a member or vendor's
harassment of a CMF staff member will also face disciplinary or legal action. This policy is strong in its
commitment to humane, equitable treatment for all stakeholders and community members.
P otential: There is a difference between preventing and punishing discrimination and actively promoting diversity;
the "Equal Employment Opportunity" section could mention that CMF strives for a diverse staff. The "WhistleBlower/Code of Conduct" section could add inclusion to the list of values ("respect, fairness, and integrity"). The
policy related to harassment could be more inclusive by amending the section proscribing sexual harassment using
CMF computer resources to state that hate-related/discriminatory material of any kind, regardless of basis, is
forbidden.

Inclusion
P r esen t: In addition to the more equity-related policies, the employee handbook has several sections that
successfully incorporate inclusivity. At the start of the handbook, CMF states its Mission, Goals, and Values. As
mentioned above, inclusion is one ofCMF's Values, and the handbook goes on to spell out specific points of th is
value. CMF allows staff time off to celebrate holidays and to opt out of paid holidays. This type of benefit shows a
sensitivity toward employees who celebrate culturally- or religiousl y-specific holidays and also provides an

5

�Policy Review- CMF's Transfom1ing Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative

opportunity for staff members to discuss their religions or cultures at work, encouraging cultural competency. A
further strength of the employee handbook is that it uses gender-inclusive language throughout.

Potential: The employee handbook also had a few areas which could be improved to better showcase CMF's value
of inclusion. The "Work Schedules" section could add a statement regarding scheduling flexibility for religious,
cultural, or personal reasons. The " D ress Code" could encourage individuals to feel comfortable wearing ethnic
clothing. There is no mention of whether or not fathers or adoptive parents may use short-term disability benefits
for pregnancy, birth, and adoption purposes. While policies are in place providing professional development and
tuition reimbursement for all staff members, a statement encouraging employees who are traditionally
underrepresented in management positions to take advantage of these benefits would help highlight of methods used
by CMF to create a pipeline for diverse leadership. Lastly, the immigration section could reiterate CMF's value of
inclusion of persons of diverse national origins.

Discussion of Board-related Policies
Trustee Conflict of Interest/Code of Conduct
Potential: The 2008 Trustee Conflict of Interest/Code of Conduct Policy is a one page document followed by a
space in which trustees can report potential conflicts of interest. This brief policy uses gender inclusive language,
but there are a couple of areas which could be strengthened to better exemplify CMF's value of inclusion. The
"Statement of Position" allows trustees to comment on their opinions, regard less of conflict of interest. This section
could be expanded to highlight that CMF values diverse opinions and encourages trustees from diverse backgrounds
to participant in all discussions. This document could also include a statement regarding trustees' duty to uphold
CMF's value of inclusion when dealing on CMF's behalf.

Bylaws
Potential: A large portion ofCMF's bylaws deal with its board of trustees and various committees. Diversity and
inclusion are not nearly as incorporated into this document as they are in the employee handbook. When describing
the qualifications of trustees, officers, and committees, there is no mention of encouraged diversity. This may be
because these individuals are selected through voting rather than an application process. If this is the case, CMF
could still state that it encourages members to be cognizant of d iversity in their voting, thereby nurturing an
organizational culture that values inclusion. The bylaws call for one youth trustee under 30, but given generational
differences in viewpoints, it may be more effective to have both a young adult trustee and a youth trustee (such as a
YACer). However, CMF may deem this unnecessary, given the youth involvement in the Michigan Community
Foundations' Youth Project Advisory Committee. CMF is heavily focused upon diversity and inclusion, and it may
be advisable for the board to establish a Diversity and Inclusion Committee. In the statement that the Board is
responsible for compensation decisions, there could be a sentence stating that the Board is conscientious to provide
equitable pay to all. The final recommendation for the bylaws dealing with trustees is that the word "Chair" would
be more inclusive than "Chairman."

Discussion of Member-related Policies
As a membership organization, CMF's membership affects (and is often at the heart of) the organization's policies.
As mentioned above, the members' voting on the Board may prevent CMF from including a diversity statement in
its bylaws related to trustee selection. Some interviewees mentioned that because CMF is a membership
organization with a constituency covering the full spectrum of political, cultural, and other viewpoints it is often
difficult for the organization to move in any given direction without upsetting some part of the membership. T his is
a constant concern in the minds of staff and board members.

Membership Criteria
Potential: The Criteria for Membership document outlines what types of organizations may be members of CMF.
There a few considerations the organization may wish to discuss to encourage a more inclusive membership. First,
CMF may want to require members to have an internal anti-discrimination or diversity statement regarding its
grantmaking and/or board and staff. Second, the minimum annual grantmaking amount may deter new foundatio ns
from traditionally underrepresented populations from becoming members. Lastly, some ethnic groups practice less
formal methods of philanthropy which cannot be covered by CMF's current membership criteria. IfCMF could
develop a way to include practitioners of these types of philanthropy, it could greatly diversify its membership.

Bylaws
Potential: CMF's bylaws begin by focusing on membership. This opening section does not specify intentional
efforts to attract diverse members or to address issues of less formal philanthropic practices. The sections devoted to
member voting and participation do not specifically state that CMF encourages the inclusion of diverse member
voices.

Discussion of Diversity and lnclusivity of Policy-makers
Part of the interviews with staff and board members focused upon the diversity of those involved in policy
development and how included interviewees felt their voices were in policy making processes.

Diversity of Policy-makers
One way to demonstrate transparently that an organization values diversity is to have a diverse group of policymakers. An interesting finding from the interviews was that there was no common definition of the policy
development process. There were a number of unique perspectives on who makes policy. Despite the heterogeneity
of responses, the re was still general consensus that those involved in policymaking are not very diverse, but there is
a certain amount of generational difference and some d iversity of thought among policy makers. It was also pointed
out that a recent audit of the personnel policy was undertaken by a group that was diverse in terms ofrace and
sexual orientation.

Inclusion of Staff in Policy Development
A key differentiator between diversity and inclusion is that inclusion actively draws upon the diverse backgrounds
of present stakeholders-including staff-in the development of policies and practices. About half of CMF's staff
feel that they are included or their voices are part of the policy development process, while the other ha lf does not
feel involved in the process but would feel comfortable voicing their opinions and needs if they thought it were
necessary. Further, there was very little mention of policy being overly top-down or of staff members' worrying of
repercussions should they recommend policy change, suggesting the environment nurtures the inclusion of board
and staff.

Diversity Efforts as Organizational Change
An institution's effort to d iversify its staff and board and/or to become more culturally competent can be considered
a type of organ izational change. A review of the literature suggests that among the many facets of an organization
that can affect organizationa l change, two of the most critical are:
1. L ea d er ship - Effective organizational change is driven from the top-down. The leader of the institution
1
must be dedicated to the change and inspi re the rest of the staff to join in the effort •
2. O r ga n ization a l C ult u re - The definition of organizational culture is somewhat broad, encompassing the
many factors which can influence how it develops in different institutions. Generally, o rganizational
cul ture consists of a variety of influences deemed relevant and given meaning by the organization,
includ ing symbols (words a nd objects), heroes and heroines (people who characterize the insti tution's
2
mission and goals), rituals wh ich fulfill a particular role within the organization, and unspoken values •
The interviews of staff and board members did not deal d irectly with leadership and cu lture. These themes did,
however, arise during the course of the interviews.

Leadership
Policies are inextricably related to leadership. A leader may d irect an organization's work by setting policy, while at
the same time being beholden to the same body of policies. Components of leadership and its relationship to policies
were a theme in the interviews. There was some mention of inequity in the implementation of policies or ad hoc
decisions made which are perceived as preferential treatment, which may stem from the aforementioned relatively
small scale of CMF's policies. While interviewees cited this small quantity of policies as beneficial for increased
flexib ility, they also mentioned that limited policies or inconsistent implementation thereof can affect team unity.
Interviewees also discussed communication. It is perceived by some interviewed that CMF's various leaders have
different communication and overall leadership styles. These differences-especially in a small organization-can
be confusing to stakeholders and impair unity. This communication carries over to CMF ' s Transforming M ichigan
P h ilanthropy through D iversi ty and Inclusion Ini tiative. While some interviewees offered praise for the leadership
of this initiative, others were confused, citing a lack of c larity in the communication of what these efforts mean,
especiall y to the day-to-day operations of CMF. Leadership needs to be sure that they tru ly und erstand diversity and
can clearly explain this to staff and board members.
Finally, there were some mentions about the d iversity of the leadership itself. Some interviewees stated that th ey
would appreciate a more diverse leadership, would like to continue to bring diverse youths' voices into CMF, and/or
would like to develop a p ipeline to help you ng stakeholders move up into leadership positions.

Organizational Culture
The literature suggests that an organization must have a unified cu lture if it is to move forward and undertake
organizational change. The leader should be able to enhance cultural e lements which are conducive to the desired
change and minimize those which detract from the goal. W hile the interviews focused upon policy a nd diversity, it
was c lear that interviewees did not share a common culture. There are three main factors creating factions among
staff and board members. First, C MF has two maj or offices (in G rand Haven and Detroit). Interviewees noted the
difficulty of maintaini ng a sense of unity w ith two offices which interact minimally and have mi nimal duplication in
job ro le. Second, w ithin each of these offices there are strong, separate a llegiances along ro le, generation, and
p hysical location lines. Third, there is a pervasive sense of internal and external staff. Internal staff takes care of the
day-to -day operations of CMF but have little interaction with the Board or members. External staff mem bers, on the
o ther hand, are very focused upon the Board and membership. The perpetuation of these two d istinct foci hamper
the unification of stakeholders needed to undertake an effort to increase d iversity, inclusion , and cu ltural
competency.

�Policy Review- CMF's Transfom1ing Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative

The Role of Policy in CMF's Transforming Michigan
Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative
The ultimate question for this research must be: how well do CMF's policies set the organization up for success in
the Transforming Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative? CMF's policies are limited in
scale-a quality which several interviewees identify as being critical to the organization's nimbleness. This a lso
means that many of the organization's stances are manifest in practice rather than in policy. Whi le organizations
can effectively balance policy and practice in many ways, if practices are not standardized using policies, the
organization must be sure that practices are aligned using some other mechanism. As mentioned above, a lack of
standard practices can lead to perceived inequity and, ultimately, can hamper organizational cultural unity.
Therefore, as CMF focuses upon an ambitious initiative such as Transforming Michigan Philanthropy through
Diversity and Inclusion, which requires cultural unity, it may be advisable to be certain that all policies and practices
are executed in a standardized manner.
In addition to uniting the organization's culture in general, CMF must also be sure that this culture is supportive of
the organization' s diversity and inclusion efforts. Organizational change to build an exemplarily diverse and
inclusive organization will be best served through a process that is transparently diverse and inclusive. To facilitate
this, CMF should be sure to include staff and board members in developing its d iversi ty and inclusion efforts and
communicate clearly where the organization is in the development-implementation-completion continuum. This
process will insure the highest level of organ izational stakeholder and constituent buy-in.
Some interviewees noted that as CMF undertakes the Transforming Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and
Inclusion Initiative the organization has an opportunity to model best practice by increasing internal diversity. They
recommended seizing that opportunity. Some asked how CMF would be able to promote diversity externally when
the organization is not internally diverse and incl usive.
Efforts are definitely being made to increase diversity and inclusion CMF's staff and board, but nearly all
in terviewees ci teclthe organization's heaclcp!arters' location (G rancl Haven) as a roaclhlock to increasecl in ternal
diversity . These assertions are not unfounded. The 2000 United States Census data show that 4.8% of the
population of Grand Haven, and the four surrounding townships (Crockery, Grand Haven, Robinson, and Spring
Lake Townships) are persons of color. The number of persons of color age 25 and over with a Bache lor's Degree or
higher in that region in 2000 was approximately 250. Regardless of these low numbers, CMF must not allow Grand
Haven's demographics to prevent the hiring of future diverse staff members. Successfully uti lizing satellite offices
or relocating the office would be two potential solutions to work around Grand Haven's relative homogene ity.

Appendix IV: Literature Review of Organizational Culture,
Organizational Change, and Diversity
Diversity and organizational culture play crucial roles in the functioning of an organization. Organizational culture
helps define the way an institution accomplishes its goals based on typically unspoken rules and regulations. The
degree to which a culture embraces diversity can determine how effective an organization is-not only within its
own premises, but a lso beyond its doors and in the community. M ishandling the issue of diversity can potentially
stifle institutional growth. Stratification of individuals based on social and economic status happens within the larger
society and is equally possible in organizations. This prevents individuals at various levels within an organization
from actively contributing, thereby inhibiting potential institutional growth. T he presence of stratification or the lack
of true diversity w ithin an organization calls for change. Organizational culture and diversity play important ro les in
organizational change, which is often necessary if an institution is to run as efficiently and efficaciously as possible.
This literature review attempts to explore all of these aspects of organizational life in g reater depth, to he lp achieve a
better understanding of culture, diversity, change, and-ultimately-the inseparability of these crucial factors in
organizational functionality.

Organizational Culture
The culture of an organization defines the way staff and stakeholders interact and the way business is done. Even
when the existence of a culture is not clearly acknowledged, it still has a large impact on organizational life
(Alvesson, 2002). T he definition of organizational culture is somewhat broad, encompassing the many factors which
can influence how it develops in different institutions. Generally, organizational culture consists of a variety of
influences deemed relevant and given meaning by the organization, including symbols (words and objects), heroes
and heroines (people who characterize the institution's mission and goals), rituals which fulfill a particular role
within the organization, and unspoken values (Waters, 2004). Organizational culture is also strongly influenced by
the personal cultures of the individuals who make up the organization (Waters, 2004). The factors influencing a
culture stretch beyond those already mentioned. Cultures are heavily defined by the society in w hich they exist, as
outside norms, values, and even current events can help shape the functioning of an o rganization (Collins, 1998).
For this reason, organizational cultures are always changing and adapting in response to different c ircumstances and
in differing settings (Waters, 2004). This evolution and flexibility are v ital in ensuring an organization's ability to be
effective and accomplish the goals it strives to achie ve. This adaptability can also help promote diversity. Diversity
is a very important part of the functioning of an organization, and can lead to great progress and change.

Diversity
There are many benefits to embracing diversity within an organization. In this context, diversity refers to both
racial/ethnic diversity and also diversity of ideas and backgrounds (though certain scenarios may emphasize one
over the other). No matter what the situation, diversity opens many doors for an organization and helps it to have a
larger and more powerful voice within the community. It is important for all organizations-especially ones with
g lobal constituencies-to embrace cultural and subcultural differences (Waters, 2004). In the process of diversifying
an organization, it may well be found that there is a common shared value system among its members, and putting
these values into practice can help an organization create its own unique multicultural identity and unified
organizational culture (Waters, 2004). Diversifying can help an institution find its own niche withi n the community
and create an identity by wh ich community members will be sure to remember it. Diverse individuals within an
organization bring differing perspectives because of their unique experiences and insights, which p lay a key role in
decision-making and the progress of an organization (Wilson, 1994). Groups with diverse members, as well as
groups in which a variety of different ideas and opinions are expressed, tend to exhibit more creativity than average
(Leung, Maddux, Galinsky &amp; Chiu, 2008), and managers make better decisions and have better ideas when their
colleagues are more diverse (Allen &amp; Montgomery, 200 I). Diversity challenges organizations and helps them make
necessary and important changes in the way they function.

13

�Policy Review- CMF's Transfom1ing Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative

The impacts of diversity stretch well beyond an organization itself and can impact a w ide variety of people outside
the boundaries of an organization. The creative brainstorming, ideas, and contributions w hich arise through d iversity
can help lead to improved and more effective policies which address the needs of a diverse population (Wilson,
1994). An organization may find itself w ith more clients or beneficiaries if it diversifies, since diversity of group
members can help an organization learn how to appeal to a more diverse populace (Allen &amp; Montgomery, 200 I ).
Sometimes the change brought about in an organization due to diversity can lead to certain tensions; there may be
resistance to new ideas which have never been shared before. It is important to incorporate acceptance of change
into an organization's culture and move beyond an "either/or" or " right versus wrong" approach for looking at ideas.
Instead, organizations should view diverse ideas constructively and collectively, wor king together to promote
change (Bond, 1999).

Organizational Change
Organizational change is a necessary process that must take place in order for an organization to continue
functioning efficiently with the passing of time. External environmental forces and issues may incite change. T he
culture of an institution itself may be in need of restructuring, or its very nature may help encourage the rebuilding
of an organization to occur. E ither way, change is a necessary part of the equation, and it is important to understand
context in order to understand how change occurs and to know the best way to go about effecting change.
Sometimes the underly ing symbols of an organization's culture can be examined and used in ways which promote
o rganizational change (Aivesson, 2002). It is important to look at the relationship between organizational culture
and performance, especially in terms of how th is relates to performance in individuals (Alvesson , 2002). After all, a
c learly defined culture helps bring a group together to work towards common goals, stimulating individuals to feel
more motivation to contribute to the organization (Aivesson, 2002). When one feels like s/he has a place within
her/his organization, one is more likely to work for improvement and change. Individuals take more pride in their
work when they have a voice w ithin their organization, and they will be driven to help the institution grow. An
organizational culture that promotes teamwork and also gives its staff room for individuality, will not only enhance
performance but also make individuals more willing to adapt to change, as well as create it.
The same rules which app ly to understanding group member interactions in the context of culture also apply to
understanding leadership. To truly understand how managers w ithin an organization lead and w hy they manage the
way they do, it is critical to examine this relationship within a particular cultural context (Alvesson, 2002). Not
every leadership style is the same, and it is usually strongly influenced by an organization's culture. Some cultures
are more conducive to change than o thers, but the level of change that occurs often lies in the hands of those actually
leading an organization. The relationship between culture and organization members' interactions can help explain
why an organization changes o r is s low to change and can also help suggest effective ways to help promote change.
In striving to achieve organizational change, a common m istake is often made. Rather than attempting to change an
organization itself, leaders often attempt to change individuals within the organization instead. This over-simplifies
a rather complicated issue, as it is the interrelationships and interactions between group members-in addition to
aspects of individual behavior-which need closer examination (Katz &amp; Kahn, 1966). The norms (i.e. the culture)
which regulate the interactions within an o rganization should be targeted, since these make the system run as it does
(Burke, 2002). Undertaking organizational change may be pointless if members of the institution with the most
power are not attempting to change their own methods, as well as the workings of the organization itself. The
process of change does not lie in the hands of the employees at the bottom of the power ladder but predominantly in
the hands of management.

Leadership and Change
Organization leaders play a crucial role in organizational change. They often accomplish goals and create change by
using an organization's culture to help shape the beliefs and behaviors of their subordinates (Lakomski, 2001 ). In
spite of these methods, it is important for managers to be aware that they cannot control organizational c ulture
because it is created, to a large extent, by individual employees who bring their own ideas, values, beliefs, and
identities to the organization (Collins, 1998). This re-emphasizes how important it is to use the strong points of an
organization's culture to push for change. Therefore, the leader's ab ility to understand the culture, the aspects

14

�Policy Review- CMF's Transfom1ing Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative

thereof that can be changed, and the aspects thereof which can be enhanced to encourage change is vital to
successfully undertake organizational change. The type of culture a leader encourages and supports is an important
determinant of how much change will occur within an organization. Organizations in which avoidance of conflict is
encouraged (a unitarist frame of reference) and managers s imply communicate m les and objectives are likely to
experience little change (Collins, 1998). Conversely, organizations with management that deals directly with
conflict (a pluralist frame of reference) experience cooperative communication between all group members and are
more like ly to experience productivity and change (Collins, 1998). A pluralist frame of reference is the most
conducive to honest and d irect communication between organization members, giving them an opportunity to give
feedback and honest opinions in relation to how an institution is running. This is clearly a useful frame of reference
to incorporate into the culture of any organization that is looking to improve and grow. Another very important
management practice is the acknowledgement of leadership's personal biases. Managers who recognize their biases
towards certain groups of people can help prevent discriminatory behavior aimed at these groups (Wilson, 1994).
Leaders hold a great deal of power in shaping an organization's culture. Leaders who conscientiously use their
positions within their institutions will be able to shape and help create organizational cultures which are open and
conducive to change.

Organizational Culture and Organizational Change
There are three major aspects of organizational culture w h ich can help lead to organizational change: the ab ility to
adapt, members' willingness to adopt new behaviors and mindsets, and goal sharing/team building among group
members. Adaptation is a particularly important aspect of organizational culture . A good organization is able to
adapt to internal and external threats and opportunities, which not only helps performance but also shows a strong
bond and a certain level of trust among organizational members (Aivesson, 2002). An organization that is ab le to
adapt through changes is very likely to succeed in the dynamic world. In the context of group interactions
throughout all levels of an organization, it is sometimes necessary to make certain small changes within individuals
to help the institution be more effective. When this is done, applicable behaviors must be targeted for change. As
individuals fo llow through with these behaviors, they will begin to understand the logic behind them and w ill adopt
the rationale needed to justify their actions, thus influencing the ir willingness to work for the benefit of an institution
(Burke, 2002). This process involves internalization of an institution's goals, wh ich is a much more effective route
to organizational change than telling individuals how to think before explaining how they are expected to act
(Burke, 2002). Internalization of institutional goals is one of the surest ways to produce organizational change.
Change is more likely to occur not only when group members share at least one common goal, but also when they
participate in team-building activ ities (Burke, 2002). This solidifies the bond among team members knowing that
they are all striving to accomplish the same ends.

lnclusivity and Organizational Change
There is yet another very critical point to achieving long-lasting organizational change. Including a ll team members
(specifically those at the bottom of the power ladder) in the process of organizational change can lead them to be
less resistant to change, give them a feel ing of purpose, and help them to be more effective in their work (Burke,
2002). The implications are that giving all team members a share in the institution boosts their morale not only
because they feel like they matter to their superiors but also because they feel like the organization is in a sense
"theirs". Giving group members ownership of their workplace to the extent that they can participate in ma king
important decisions can also be good for the institution because employees can provide a diverse array of ideas
which may have never arisen otherwise. This is a win-win situation for both the organization and its employees.

The Role of Diversity and Inclusion in Organizational Culture and
Change
While d iversi ty is a very important aspect of organizational culture, it is o ften mishandled by management. In an
attempt to appear nond iscriminatory, management often ignores d iversity, which can do more harm than good. In an
attempt to avoid "seeing" race and gender (thus appearing unprejudiced), there is a press for sameness, and this
approach in itself is one practiced and imposed by the dom inant culture (Bond, 1999). This can stifle creativity

15

�Policy Review- CMF's Transfom1ing Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative

among organization members, thus harming the progress of an institution (Bond, 1999). Unintentional
discrimination could even occur in the attempt to appear "neutral"; prejudiced attitudes need not be present (Bond,
1999). Embracing diversity rather than ignoring it can lead to many benefits for an organization. Including d iverse
groups in work activities and problem-solving can give employees a sense of belonging and participation, thus
increasing the productivity of an organization, reiterating the aforementioned point on morale (Wilson, 1994).
Boosting morale in diverse groups through inclusion can make an organization more productive and more accessible
to a diverse population outside of the organization. For all of these reasons, it is very beneficial to embrace, rather
than ignore, diversity w ithin an organization.
Still, diversity programs rarely produce the intended results (Allen &amp; Montgomery, 200 I). They may urge
institutions to give more opportunities to minori ties, but to truly be effective and promote diversity, organizations
must make serious changes to aspects of the culture which inhibit the recognition of diversity (Allen &amp;
Montgomery, 200 I). The overwhelm ing focus on trying to do what is perceived to be the right thing rather than
attempti ng to truly include traditionally underrepresented voices can lead to a breakdown in communication, and
therefore, fai lure to achieve the goal of true equality (Bond, 1999). This is good for nei ther the organization nor its
members.
Stratification based on social and economic class is just one more way in which organizations fall short of true
diversity and inclusion. Stratification deters certain groups of people from having the same opportunities as those
belonging to a group holding more power socially or economically. Women and racia l m inorities are particularly
vulnerable as they are more likely to be placed in entry-level and lower midlevel positions in a workplace (Bond,
1999). Differences of opportunity exist at a ll levels w ithin organizations, especially at the top (Bond, 1999). It is
much more competitively difficult to attain a position at the top of an organization, and such positions are usually
reserved for those who hold more social and economic power. This kind of stratification may also be more e vident
in some countries than others. Some societies (such as the U.S.) which show higher power distance tend to have
organizations which practice this same cultural "value" and o perate in a rather authoritarian manner (Collins, 1998).
This illustrates how culture outside of an organization can influence organizational culture, but these influences
c learly are not always positive ones.
Such stratification can place barriers between group members, thus preventing wh ite-collar workers from
associating w ith lower prestige workers to avoid the appearance of lowering their status, while those with less
prestige avoid commu nication with white-collar workers so they do not appear to make the assumption they have
equal status (Katz &amp; Kahn, 1966). All in all, this not only produces tension between group members, but it also
greatly reduces the productivity of an organization through failure to promote open communication between all
individuals regardless of social and economic status. In the process of fai ling to be inclusive by s ilencing the voices
of certain organization members based on their status, an institution is really fai ling at promoting diver sity. The
variety of ideas and insights which could be provided by those coming from d iffering backgrounds is a large part of
what makes an organization d iverse. Silencing the voices of certain employees hinders the mission of an institution.
Fortunately, if organizations make a serious attempt to get at the root of the culture enough to change the detrimenta l
aspects, serious progress can be made.
Recognizing how stratification works within an organization can lead to change that w ill not only positively impact
individuals but the organization as well. In attempting to eliminate the culture of stratification w ithin an
organization, it is crucial to examine the vertical dimension ( i.e. the hierarchy based on based on power, privilege,
prestige, and rewards), rather than the horizontal dimension, w hich refers to the flow of work in one particular area
of an organization (Katz &amp; Kahn, 1966). In doing so, change can occur at all levels of an organization rather than
just one. Along with the stratification of employees within an organization, sometimes employees also feel
demeaned by the labels given to different organization members. For example, the labels of"management" versus
"general employees" can decrease the self-worth of those with lower prestige in an organization, dimin ishing their
sense of ownership and willingness to actively participate in the organization (Reynolds &amp; Platow, 2003).
There are ways to give employees more power within an organization, thereby helping them feel more motiva ted.
All employees, no matter what level of prestige they hold, should be given decision-making powers in order to help
them internalize the goals of the institution, thus making them more efficacious and helping the organization grow
(Reynolds &amp; Platow, 2003). In addition to this, it is especially important to show employees that their positions are
based on achievement rather than ascription; if this is not accomplished, then it is difficult for employees wi th lower

16

�Policy Review- CMF's Transfom1ing Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative

status in an organization to share the same interests as their superiors, and thus, they have trouble internalizing the
goals of the organization (Katz &amp; Kahn, 1966). This is understandable from the point of v iew of an employee who
feels s/he is at the bottom of the power ladder. Ifs/he feels as if it is impossible to move up this ladder, why would
s/he want to bother trying to perform to her/his full capacity?
Among other methods, one particular method stands out as being one of the best to provide organizational change:
peer groups. Peer groups allow group members to observe interactions and behavior among others of their own
status w ithout management's imposition, making it easier to find solutions and achieve real change (Katz &amp; Kahn,
1966). This also provides a much more comfortable environment in which the organization can change.

Conclusion
All of the research makes it clear that for the most effective organizational change to occur, management must take
the reins and create change starting from the top and moving downwards. O ne particular example given by Mats
Alvesson (2002) illustrates this point: the founder of IBM was walking through an IBM plant with a few managers,
and a subordinate told him to follow safety rules. The managers were about to reprimand her for telling the founder
what to do, but the founder told them to let it go, that he should have to follow the rules just like everyone else. This
example shows how the mindset and behavior of someone who holds a large amount of power within an
organization can influence policies and the way every day interactions are carried out, while empowering those in
lower in the hierarchy. Organizational and cultural changes truly start w ith organizations' leaders.
The link between organizational culture, diversity, and change is almost inseparable, and often cyclical. The culture
of an organization can determine the likelihood of change to occur, how it will occur, and what aspects of the
organization wi ll change. Change is necessary in order to keep an organization up to date w ith recent events and to
keep it running efficiently. Diversity is integral to organizational culture because it helps foster openness, and
creates a vaster pool from which to draw a variety of ideas. Being open to diversity means accepting and
acknowledging group members from all backgrounds, including economic and social classes. An organization's
culture, especially one that encourages diversity, can contribute to growth and change within an organization.

Diversity leads to organizational change by bringing in a variety of backgrounds and thus, a variety of experiences
and ideas. It helps shape an organization's culture.
In turn, organizational culture and change can also impact diversity. Through the encouragement o f openness,
acceptance, and inclusion among members of an institution, organizational change occurs, and d iversity is
promoted. When speaking of organizational culture, change, and d iversity, it is difficult to make reference to one of
these variables without some combination of intluence(s) from the others.

Council of
Michigan
Foundations

Date:

February 13, 2009

Memo to:

Melonie Colaianne, Chairperson, and Members of the Board ofTrustees

From:

Phil Peters, Chair, CMF Audit Committee
Dave L indberg, Vice President Finance

RE:

CMF 12-31-08 Internal Financial Statements

Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving.

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the CMF and Supporting
Organizations Internal Financial Statements for December 31, 2008 as recommended
by the CMF Audit Committee.
On February 9, 2009, the CMF Audit Committee met and approved the attached financial
report.

Core Operations
Note 1: Membership
The proj ected amount includes the following anticipated payments.
Steelcase Foundation
Conway Family Foundation
The Tiscomia Foundation
Harry A. &amp; Margaret D. Towsley Foundation

$9,600
500
1,100
7,200

Note 2: Additional Member Contributions
The bulk of this category is the $150,000 grant from Kellogg.
See attached detailed report for other contributions.

S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2008-09\2.24.09 Meeting Materials\Financials 12-31-0S.doc

�Note 3: Other Grants

2008-09 is the final year of a three year $25,000 per year grant from The Skillman
Foundation to support the occupancy costs for the Detroit office. It appears Skillman will be
providing a grant for at least one more year to support this office.
Includes the following·
Skillman Detroit Office Support Yr 3 (Final)
Transfer Fatherhood meeting revenue to special grant
dollars

$25,000
(2,308)

Note 4: Conference &amp; Meetings Revenue &amp; Expenses

As of 12-31-08 the annual conference has contributed $140,000 to staff time to produce the
conference vs. a budget of $123,000, which was the result of attendance being greater than
anticipated. Total staff time to produce the conference is estimated at $225,000. The
additional contribution is due to attendance exceeding expectations.
Note 5: Investment Income

While the rate of return on the money market account has dropped below 2% vs. 5% for last
year, overall income has remained on budget due to the $1.3 million in ECIC money that was
held through 8-15-08. With the transfer of the ECIC money it appears we may fall short of
our investment earnings goal by $43,000 by year-end. $30,000 of the year to date amount is
the result of the income transferred from the Core Operations Endowment Fund.
Note 6: Wages

The projected variance from budget is due to the following items.
Director of Corporate Services - position not filled till Nov 2008
Additional time to Philanthropy 3D project
Additional time on Diversity project
ECIC Project ending August of 2008

S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2008-09\2.24.09 Meeting Materials\Financials 12-31 -0S.doc

$36,000
3,000
16,000
(5,800)

�Note 7: Equipment &amp; Furniture
$ 1,500 of this amount is for carpet purchased for the board room. Due to the projected
surplus and the fact that the President' s car lease is expiring, a replacement car (Saturn
Hybrid) was purchased in late January. Due to the current auto industry crisis leasing has
increased significantly so the monthly payments over a three year lease equal the purchase
price of the car. Since depreciation is not a cash expense and not booked until year-end, the
savings on the monthly internal financial statements is the lease cost of approx imately $700
plus any gas savings.
Note 8: Communications/Publications
$ 12,000 of the projected variance is due to the Board Chair publication that was funded by a
grant from the C.S. Mott Foundation and distributed to members at no charge. The
remaining variance is due to a couple of publications that have been put on hold.

�that the Kresge Foundation had invited a proposal for $250,000. There was agreement to
proceed with the recommendation and inform the whole Board about this development.

Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously carried, it was
RESOLVED that CMF enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the
Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth to contract with
McKinsey &amp; Co. for up to $1 million for the Michigan' s Advanced Energy
Economy Initiative for the period February 16, 2009 to May 15, 2009 with the
following conditions:
• at least three members of CMF participate in this collaborative with grants
in excess of $500,000,
• a Steering Committee with representatives from Michigan's univer sities,
nonprofits, business and foundations meets at least twice a month during this
period,
• the State is successful in securing Federal stimulus funds to implement the
goals of the Initiative, and
• low income populations are involved as beneficiaries of programs of the
Initiative such as job creation
Attitudes and Perceptions Survey of CMF Trustees and Staff
Mr. Collier reviewed the purpose of the Attitudes and Perceptions Survey as a new baseline
tool tor the D iversity and Inclusion Initiative developed by the Community Research Institute
at Grand Valley State University. He indicated that because of recent emails, it was apparent
a number of Trustees have completed the Survey from the perspective of their Foundation
and not as CMF Trustees. There was agreement that the Survey should be resent to all
Trustees before the February 24 Board Meeting with a request that they complete it again
from the perspective of a CMF Trustee.

President's Performance Review
Chairperson Colaianne reviewed the process used last year for evaluating the President.
There was consensus by the Committee to continue this process.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 2:45 p.m.

Memo to:

Melonie Colaianne, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rachel Mraz, CMF Trustee and Investment Committee Member and
David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance &amp; Administration

Re:

December 31, 2008 Investment Report

The following Resolution is presented fo r consideration:
R ESOLVED that the December 31, 2008 Investment Report be accepted as
presented.
On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committees for the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF), Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV), Learning to
Give (LTG) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment
performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds.
New Business
On February 12, 2009, the Investment Committee reviewed and approved the enclosed
report.
Since the October 13, 2008, CMF Board meeting, the Investment Committee has
addressed the following items:
After careful analysis the committee approved the remainder of the CMF Endowment
Pool Investments be moved into the TIFF Multi Asset Fund. The CMF Executive
Committee approved this recommendation on February 9, 2009. See attached memo.
CMF also has a $1 million private equity commitment with the Commonfund of which
$150,000 has been called to date.
CMF also holds a $3 million endowment fund for the Learning to Give/LEAGUE project
that is scheduled to be turned over to the LEAGUE by 20 10. Due to the entry and exit
fees for the TIFF Multi Asset Fund this endowment fund will remain invested in standard
asset allocation funds that CMF has used in the past.

Alternative vs. Standa rd Allocation Investment Pools
With the addition of the TIFF and Commonfund alternative products, the CMF
Endowment Pool now has standard and alternative asset allocation pools. The standard
allocation pool is rebalanced on a quarterly basis to the targeted asset allocation noted in
the attached report. The TIFF investment product rebalancing is handled by TIFF. The
combined allocation of the standard and alternative allocation pools will be monitored on
a quarterly basis by the Investment Committee with adjustments between the two pools
being made as the Committee deems appropriate.
The combined investment return for the CMF Standard and Alternative Pools will be
calculated as the various periods become available.
The enclosed Investment Report is presented in the fo llowing two sections:

The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation noted in the attached report using

Investment Perfor mance Comparison Report
In addition to the Cambridge &amp; 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 &amp; Associates to collect the results from the pool participants.

Foundations

Serving grantmakers. Advoncing giving.

February 15, 2009
Memo to:

Melonie Colaianne, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Carol Paine McGovern and Andrea Cole, Co-Chairs
Government Relations Committee

Re:

Council on Foundations (COF) 2009 Agenda for Philanthropic
Partnership &amp; Foundations on the Hill

The purpose of this Memo is two fold: first to review and take action on the COF Agenda for
2009 and second to provide an update on proposed activities for our 31 sr Annual Foundations
on the Hill.

I. COF 2009 Agenda for Philanthropic Partnership
The COF Board will be considering a 9 point agenda for 2009 at its March Board Meeting as
rec01mn ended by its Publ ic Policy Committee, on which Rob Collier and LaJeune
Montgomery Talley from the Kellogg Foundation serve:
I) Permanent Extension and Expansion of the IRA Charitable Rollover.
2) Simplification of the Private Foundations Excise Tax on Net Investment Income, if not
included in the Economic Stimulus.
3) Enactment of a Low-Profit Limited Liability Company (L3C) Proposal.
4) Supporting Enhanced Deduction for Food Donations to American Indian Tribes.
5) Research and resolution on the issue of Orphan Trusts moving outside the community
of the original donor.
6) Improvements to the Donor-advised Fund, Supporting Organization Reforn1s in the
Pension Protection Act of2006 (PPA).
7) Foundations as an Allowable Entity to Distribute Specially Designated Funds.
8) Adopt a formal position advocating for a permanent Estate Tax with a $3.5 million
deduction per individual and a 45% tax rate.
9) Promote a White House Conference on Philanthropy in 2010.
CMF already has positions on nu mbers l , 2, 3, and 6. We are not recommending that CMF
support item 4 because the Tribes of Michigan are not supportive. We feel that it is important
to take a position on items 5, 7, 8, and 9.
Therefore we are proposing the following Resolution for your consideration and action:
RESOLVED that CMF support the addition of Goals to its 2009 Legislative Priorities
Statement that address the issues of: orphan trusts, community foundations distributing
d esignated fed eral funds, a formal position with goals for the Estate Tax in 2010 and
promotion of a White House Conference on Philanthropy in 2010 as summarized below:

�Government Relations
February 2009

Background
5) Orphan Trusts- the more than 4,000 charitable trusts identified by the Foundation
Center that have institutional trustees, such as banks, but that no longer have ties to the donor
or members ofthe donor's family who could guide grantmaking.
Position: A positive outcome would be for orphan trusts to remain within their
communities of origin, perhaps under the control of the local community foundation or
with the community foundation handling grantmaking. Not ready to propose a legislative
response at this time, COF will begin conversations with appropriate parties and conduct
appropriate research to determine how to address this issue, whether through federal or
state legislation or through voluntary strategies.
Rationale: These orphan trusts have increasingly attracted legislative and media attention
because they are rapidly growing in number, the fin ancial institutions are increasing their
fees to manage these funds, and many of these funds are away from their community of
origin due to bank mergers. The Senate Finance Committee has actively engaged COF to
help find ways to keep these funds within their community of origin. Doing so would be
of benefit to our communities and our community foundations.
COF w ill convene a small group of community foundation leaders and representatives of
the financial services sector (preferably some corporate giving members from that sector)
to address concerns around donor intent and loss of the relationship between the
community and the trust. The initial goal of this effort is to proactively share information
with the sector on how to deal with the issue of orphan trusts at the state and federal
levels. These activities might possibly lead to legislative remedies in 2009.

7) Foundations as an Allowable Entity to Distribute Specially Designated Funds
Position: CMF supports the legislative mandate that would allow state governors to
authorize community foundations to distribute economic stimulus funds to local
communities. NOTE- CMF has a history of distributing settlement funds in
Michigan as noted in the new publication in the back pocket featuring the Tobacco
Settlement Funds.
Rationale: By authorizing community foundations as distributions centers for stimulus
funds, several benefits will occur: one, funds will be distributed quickly; two, funds go to
those most in need; three, funds will often leverage private/philanthropic resources; and
four, funds will support innovative, reforn1-based delivery methods. Beyond the existence
of the economic stimulus package, this authorization can be applied in different scenarios
as philanthropy seeks opportunities to partner with our federal and state governments.
Such partnerships can provide community foundations the unique opportunity to distribute
and leverage resources for local communities during emergencies.

8) Estate Tax Reform
Position: CMF supports an estate tax with an exemption of $3.5 million per spouse and a
45% rate for 2010. The Internal Revenue Code currently imposes both a gift tax on certain
lifetime transfers and an estate tax on certain transfers at death. NOTE- CMF would
couple this position with our current priority of seeking reinstatement of the Federal
Credit for State Death Taxes Paid- see Attachment A. CMF, like COF, has until
now has not taken a position on the Estate Tax.
Rationale: President Obama's decision to seek prompt action on the estate tax w ill be
based on his need to raise revenue - reinstating the estate tax in 2010 will generate tens of
billions of dollars that under PA YGO may be used to fund other Administration priorities.
The Obama tax plan calls for providing a $7 million exemption per couple, with a 45% tax
rate to apply on the excess.
Under current law, the estate, gift, and generation skipping transfer taxes were gradually
reduced between 2002 and 2009. In 2002, the unified credit effective exemption amount
increased to $1 million, and the highest estate and gift tax rate was 50%. In 2007 and
2008, the highest estate and gift tax rate was 45%. In 2009, the unified credit effective
exemption amount for estate tax purposes will be increased to $3.5 million.
9) White House Conference on Philanthropy in 2010
Position: CMF supports COF in seeking a White House Conference on Philanthropy in
2010.
Rationale: COF intends to use this conference as a catalyst for continued activity and
dialogue for the grantmaking community- especially as it relates to the potential for
partnership between public, private and philanthropic sectors. Furthermore, the conference
will assist in educating policymakers and the American public on the contributions of,
potential for, and positive impact generated by philanthropy.
On October 22, 1999, President Clinton and the National Endowment for the Humanities
convened the first "White House Conference on Philanthropy: Gifts to the Future." This
conference brought together individuals engaged in philanthropy to highlight this
American tradition of charitable giving; to discuss the diverse and changing face of
philanthropy; and to explore how to preserve and expand this tradition for future
generations. NOTE: CMF played a role in the Clinton White House Conference with
both Dottie Johnson and a Y ACer from Battle Creek testifying.
In addition, CMF will continue to work with COF staff in support of the following regulatory

activities:
1) Improvements to the donor-advised fund and supporting organization reforms
included in the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA)
Key issues to address include:

Suspend penalties for grants to certain Type III supporting organizations until the
IRS can update Publication 78 to identify the organizations that fall within this
category
Clarify the control test for Type I supporting organizations that support a class of
charities.

2) Community Foundation Compliance Check Survey: The IRS is now reviewing the
responses to the 3,700 organizations that submitted the Survey and may conduct as many
as 100 audits to verify the information they received . Activities will include
communicating to the IRS CMF's position on the agency's continued application of
community trust regulations to community foundations and support of any members who
are selected for audit analysis. CMF also hopes to help COF engage the IRS in ways that
will distinguish true community foundations from other entities that may be included in
the original survey.
3) International Regulations: CMF supports COF's work to create a centralized source for
determinations that a foreign nongovernmental organization is the equivalent of a
domestic public charity. COF also plans to seek the Treasury Department replacing
Treasury's "Anti-Terrorist Financing Guidelines" with the "Principles of International
Charity" developed by a working group convened by COF.
II. 31st Annual Foundations on the Hill
Attachment B is the Agenda for Foundations on the Hill - March 24 and 25. We are excited
about the meeting from 11:00 am to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24 with the Obama
Administration that will begin our visits. We will have an attendance report to share at the
Board Meeting.

�Reinstatement of Federal Credit for State Inheritance and Estate Taxes Paid
and for State Generation Skipping Transfer Taxes Paid
Position:
The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) supports reinstatement of the
credits for state inheritance and estate taxes paid and state generation
skipping transfer taxes paid as consideration is given to changes to the
Federal estate tax.
Background
The wealth being taxed at the Federal level is being derived from taxpayer estates accumulated at
a state level. Prior to 2004 the Federal estate tax system recognized this by providing that a
share of the estate tax, through the form of a credit, be returned to the source state for
redistribution there.
In addition providing a share of the Federal estate tax revenues through a credit helps to offset
the lost state capital gain revenues caused by the step-up in basis provided to the heirs in the
assets they inherit. As the basis in inherited property is adjusted to date-of-death value,
significant capital gains can be avoided by the heirs when the inherited property is subsequently
sold. This step-up in basis also affects capital gain tax collections in many states.
Prior to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of2001 (EGTRRA), Federal
tax law provided a credit against the Federal estate tax tor state inheritance and estate taxes paid.
See Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") § 2011 The Internal Revenue Code also provided a credit
of 5% against the Federal generation-skipping transfer tax due for generation-skipping transfer
taxes paid to a state. See IRC § 2604.
Both of these tax credits were repealed at the end of2004. The credit for state generationskipping transfer taxes paid was not replaced. The credit for state inheritance and estate taxes
paid was replaced with a Federal estate tax deduction for state death taxes paid. See IRC §2058.
Prior to the repeal, most states had laws in effect that allowed the states to "pick up" the amounts
allowable as a Federal estate tax credit (for both estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes) by
having decedent estates pay the maximum Federal credit to the state. The effect of this was tax
neutral to decedent estates as the estate tax had to be either paid to the Federal government or the
state. The existence of these state laws did not increase estate taxes- they merely permitted
states to share in the Federal estate tax collections.
After the repeal, states lost estate tax revenues, and Michigan lost more than $200 million a year.
In some cases states have chosen chose to adopt state inheritance and estate taxes that could
increase the amount of taxes due at death, so that some decedent estates have to pay Federal and
state inheritance/estate taxes. Introduction of legislation proposing a new inheritance tax in
Michigan resulted in some taxpayers transferring residences in an effort to minimize the cost of
dying by avoiding state inheritance/estate tax systems.

�Impact on Taxpayers of Change to Deduction
Besides the obvious loss of revenue to the states, the change of the credit to a deduction also
resulted in higher taxes to some decedent estates. The reason is that a credit reduces the Federal
estate tax burden dollar for dollar - whereas a deduction reduces the benefit to the maximum rate
of Federal estate tax. For example, a credit results in $1 reduction in Federal estate tax for every
$1 paid to the state. A deduction results in a 45 cent reduction in Federal estate tax paid for
every $1 paid to a state ($1 times the Federal estate tax rate of 45%).
Other effects of maintaining the status guo and continuing the Federal Estate Tax after 2009
Projections estimate that the states will not collect an estimated $4 to $9 billion in 20 10 and
Michigan will loose in excess of $200 million, and each year thereafter, in estate tax revenue.
This figure is based on 10.4% (the repealed marginal state death tax credit rate at a $3.5 million
taxable estate) of $88 billion understood to be the projected taxable value of estates if the 2009
estate tax structure remains in force. Actual lost state revenue could be higher or lower based on
number of estates and because the repealed state death tax credit was graduated with a maximum
marginal rate of 16%.
There will be additional tax burdens and complexity for decedent estates and taxpayers whose
states adopted new inheritance and estate taxes caused by the change from credit to deduction.
As states determine whether to adopt a separate state inheritance tax or not in order to collect
revenues and/or attract new residents, there will be increased inter-state competition for
taxpayers. And there will likely be an ancillary transfer of revenue and support (income, property
and sales taxes, registration fees, charitable contributions) between states as taxpayers switch
residences to avoid state level inheritance taxes
Continuation of the 2009 Federal estate tax provisions would leave the state inheritance and
estate tax deduction in place- which has also been phased out. Separate legislative action is
required to reinstate the credit. Additionally, the state inheritance and estate tax and state
generation-skipping transfer tax credits could be made applicable for estates of decedents dying
after December 31, 2008 in order to provide this revenue source to the states in 2009.

Governor
State of Michigan

State of the State Address

State Capitol • Lansing • M ichigan
Tuesday, February 3, 2009

�Lieutenant Governor Cherry, Speaker Dillon, Majority Leader Bishop, members of my Cabinet,
fe llow citizens, my beloved family: good evening.
There are many familiar faces in the chamber this evening, but there are also more than 40
representatives joining us for the first time. Congratulations to you and your new leaders M inority Leader Prusi and M inority Leader Elsenheimer.
We welcome a new member to o ur state's highest court - Justice D iane Hathaway.
And let us also recognize State Board of Education President Kathleen Strauss who has now
become that body's longest serving president.
Before I begin this evening, we must take a moment to reflect on the service of the sons and
daughters of Michigan who defend freedom far fro m our shores, and the service of the first
responders who give their all to protect our safety here at home.
Sgt. Brooke Murphy is here, just returned last week from duty in Iraq. She represents a ll of the
men and women who are serving on our behalf. We stand with her in awe of their commitment,
and we offer a moment of silence for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
As we gather this evening to take stock of our state, I will not sugarcoat the severity of the crisis
we face. This past year has been brutal. Like few others in our history. The nation's financial
system teetered on the brink of collapse. Our auto companies fought for their very existence.
And as the bottom fe ll out of the national economy, the job situation in M ichigan has gone from
bad to worse.
Families across our state can only wonder and worry what new threat tomorrow will bring.
Breadwinners worry they'll find a p ink slip in this week's pay envelope or empty packing boxes
on their desk on Friday morning.
Any honest assessment of our state's economy has to recognize that things are likely to get worse
before they get better. But if there is one thing I want you, the citizens of Michigan, to know this
evening, it is this : Things will get better.
M ichigan will weather this economic storm because our people are resourceful and resilient and
because our battle plan is focused o n the three things that matter most:
•
•
•

fighting for more good paying jobs in Michigan;
educating and training our people to fill those jobs;
And protecting our fam ilies during the worst economic conditions in more than a
quarter of a century.

The days when our government could be all things to all people are behind us. This is no time fo r
special interests or pet projects. It's a time that de mands relentless focus and discipl ine.
Good-paying jobs. Education and tra ining. Protecting o ur people.

�After years of seeing our economy battered like no other state by the combination of global
market forces hammering the auto industry and trade policies sucking jobs overseas, fortunately,
Michigan now has a friend in the White House who shares our agenda.
I say this based on pragmatism, not partisanship. President Obama 's priorities are nearly
identical to ours. He, too, is focused on jobs for middle America and new, renewable energy
jobs. He, too, is focused on education. He too is focused on protecting people. H e's proposed a
sweeping economic recovery plan for the nation.
As the details of that plan take shape, we know o ne thing for certain. We, in Michigan, will use
that recovery plan to accelerate our own. We are not starting from scratch. We have already
made renewable energy a key focus of our economic development strategy. We' re already
transforming education and training.
And we've already made tough choices in our budget. So, whi le Michigan's budget situation is
difficult, it pales in comparison to many states' now drowning in red ink. While o ther states will
use this federal recovery fund ing simply to survive, Michigan will use it to move further and
faster into a better future.
When that stimulus package is signed by the president, I'll come back to you w ith the specifics
for Michigan. But let there be no confusion about this: I f anyone thinks we should use the
stimulus package to create a bigger government in Michigan, they should think again. I have a
veto pen and I will use it.
The president's economic recovery plan is a one-time opportunity, not a permanent funding
stream. One-time money w ill not weaken our long-term resolve to keep our fiscal house in order.
We must reform our government to meet the needs of our new economic realities long after the
stimulus funds are gone.
That is why I have asked Lt. Governor Cherry to lead a comprehensive effort to dramatically
change the shape and size of state government- reducing the number of our departments from 18
to 8, reforming our civil service system, creating public/private partnerships, and infusing
technology everywhere - because we won't settle for 9 to 5 government in a 24/7 world.
I'm asking our team to continually provide better service at less cost to taxpayers. That starts at
the top. Today, the Lt. Governor and I have urged the State Officers Compensation Commission
to reduce the salaries of all state elected officials in Michigan by I 0 percent. With families across
M ichigan struggling to make ends meet, we must tighten our belts as well. I thank you in
advance for doing your part.
While many of the reforms in the structure of state government will require detailed legislation or
even changes to our constitution, others will be contained in the budget I propose to you next
week.
A recent national survey showed that since 200 I , Michigan has done more to restrain general
fund spending than any state in the country. A lready, I've cut more than any governor in
M ichigan history. And the budget I present to you next week will cut even deeper.

�I will recommend eliminating virtually all earmarks. While some fund helpful services, we
simply can't afford them any more.
I will recommend eliminating funding for both state fa irs, because while they are a wonderful
tradition, the state fairs are not an essential purpose of government. I 'm grateful that others are
stepping forward to continue this tradition.
I will recommend eliminating the Department of History, Arts and Libraries and findi ng other
means to support these important functions .
I will recommend returning enforcement of wetlands protections to the federal government where
more staff exists to effectively safeguard our natural resources.
I will recommend additional reforms to our j ustice system that bring down the cost of corrections,
while continuing to reinvest in more law enforcement on the street. Over the last six years, we
have reduced corrections spending by $460 million, closing nine prison facilities in the process.
We'll close three more in the coming months.

Soon, I also will recommend long-term reforms to achieve affordable but stable fun ding for
maintenance and repairs to our roads, bridges and transit systems.
Jobs

We wi ll live within our means and reform government, so that we can relentlessly focus on what
everyone in Michigan cares most about: jobs.
The fact that our auto companies have faced the real threat of bankruptcy only confirms that there
is no other long-term course for Michigan in the 21'1 century than to diversify.
But let me be clear - diversifying our economy does not mean deserting our major industry. We
are justifiably proud of the American automobile industry, and we are prouder yet to be its home.
And when pundits and ill-informed politicians take cheap shots at our auto companies and auto
workers, we will continue to call them out and take them on.
We will be armed w ith the facts about the incredible transformation this industry is undergoing
and the g reat products it produces now and the awesome products in the pipeline. And we will
keep Michigan positioned as the global center of an increasingly green auto industry.
But there's real pain in the auto world. Hundreds of thousands of jobs have been lost since 2000,
and there are still more job losses ahead. Those losses have fue led our determination to bring
new industries to Michigan - not j ust new businesses - entire new industries.
Now, the cynics and skeptics will tell us we can't do it - that we'll never attract a new economic
sector to an old manufacturing state like Michigan. But we already have.
Here's one example:
Since enacting the nation's most aggressive film incentives in April, we have seen more than 70
film and TV projects slated for production in Michigan, bringing some $430 million in economic
activity here. Thank you, Senator Allen, for your leadership on this one.

�Tonight, I'm pleased to make three major announcements: Wonderstruck Animation Studios will
invest $86 million to build a new studio in Detroit; Stardock Systems, a digital gam ing
manufacturer, will build its production facilities in Plymouth; and Motown Motion Pictures w ill
invest $54 million to build their new film studios at a former GM plant in Pontiac.
Motown Motion Pictures alone, spurred by the leadership of Michigan 's own A I Taubman, here
tonight, will create 3,600 jobs, including many for those young creative workers we want to keep
in Michigan.
Our success with the film industry is not an isolated example. The renewable energy industry is
already providing new jobs and better lives across our state. Don't take my word for it. Ask the
thousand people hired by Hemlock Semiconductor near Saginaw, the world 's largest
manufacturer of the key ingredient in solar panels. Ask the former Electro lux workers in
Greenville who now manufacture solar panels for United Solar Ovonic. Ask them, and they w ill
tell you what it fee ls like to earn a good wage in an industry that is growing by leaps and bounds.
And the great thing about this new energy industry is that, just like our auto industry, it creates a ll
kinds ofjobs for all kinds of people. The job your neig hbor is looking for today and the job your
child will go to college for tomorrow.
Jobs for e lectricians installing wind turbines in the Thumb. Jobs for machinists making the parts
for those wind turbines in Eaton Rapids. Jobs for factory workers assembling wind turbines in
Novi. Jobs for sales men and women selling solar panels in Auburn Hills. Jobs for workers to
manufacture those solar panels in Greenville. Jobs for truck drivers hauling the waste from paper
mills to biorefineries in the U.P. Jobs for carpenters weatherizing homes in Detroit and
Muskegon. Jobs for manufacturing workers making energy-efficient siding in Midland. Jobs for
engineers designing the electric car battery in Ann Arbor.
The fact that these jobs exist in Michigan today is no accident. These jobs are here because we
put a strategy in place to bring them here - often by beating out other states and other countries to
get them.
In December, we passed ground-breaking incentives to make sure the batteries that will soon
power electric cars are made in Michigan. Thank you, Representative Gonzales, for your
leadership on this legislation. Within weeks of passage, GM announced it will assemble the
battery packs for the Volt, its new electric vehicle, right here in Michigan.
And Al23 Systems, a Massachusetts company, announced it is seeking almost $2 billion in
federal loans to build up to 5 million electric car batteries a year and employ some 14,000
workers righ t here in Michigan.
They weren't just choosing Michigan because they like our lakes and thousands of miles of
coastline. They chose Michigan because we acted to bring this industry here. We want the
batteries here. We want those e lectric cars researched, desig ned and assembled here. And we
want other kinds of a lternative energy jobs.

�Last year, I said that we would look attractive to renewable energy companies only if we, as a
state, set a firm goal for the use of renewable energy. Thanks to you - and to Representative
Mayes and Senator Birkholz - that goal became law in October.
Barely a few months later, workers across Michigan began pulling down good paychecks because
of your action.
Check this out: Since that law was passed, three wind turbine manufacturers announced their
expansions in Michigan: Mariah Power in Manistee, Global Wind Systems in Novi, and Cascade
Swift T urbine in Grand Rapids. Uni-Solar announced another new solar panel factory in Battle
Creek. HSC announced a billion dollar expansion for solar panel materials near Saginaw. Dow
Coming announced a new solar panel facility. These companies are generating thousands of jobs.
And tonight, I'm announcing that Great Lakes Turbine wi ll locate in Monroe, creating hundreds
more jobs building wind turbines.
We have great engineers, a phenomenal manufacturing workforce, and you gave the catalyst we
needed to attract those companies. But we need more jobs - a lot more. So tonight, I am
announcing the next phase of our plan.
The demand for wind and solar power in this country is about to explode. President Obama has
announced ambitious plans to double our nation's use of these renewable energy sources in just
three years. As the nation's demand for renewable energy goes up, so, too, does the demand for
the technologies and products that are critical to the new energy industry. We will seize upon this
surging demand for renewable energy to increase the supply of good-paying jobs in Michigan.
So here's our next aggressive goal: By the year 2020, Michigan will reduce our reliance on fossi l
fuels for generating electricity by 45 percent. We will do it through increased renewable energy,
gains in energy efficiency and other new technologies. You heard me right: a 45 percent
reduction by 2020.
How will we reach this 45-by-20 goal and get the jobs that come with it? Instead of spending
nearly $2 billion a year importing coal or natural gas from other states we'll be spending our
energy dollars on Michigan wind turbines, Michigan solar panels, Michigan energy-efficiency
devices, all designed, manufactured and installed by ... Michigan workers.
First, I w ill ask the Legislature to make Michigan the fi rst state in the nation to let every
homeowner, every business, become a renewable energy entrepreneur who can make money by
installing solar panels or wind systems on their home or business and selling that renewable
energy back to the power company. Through this legislation, we wi ll create a powerful new
market for large and small turbines and solar panels made by Michigan workers.
Second, I am asking our Public Service Commission to put o ur utility companies in the energy
efficiency business by changing how rates are set. Today, these companies make money selling
us electricity and natural gas. The more you use, the more money they make. Tomorrow, they'll
make money by helping us use less of both.
Instead of investing in new power plants, they will invest in the products and technologies that
allow us to use far less energy in our homes. Everything from fuel efficient furnaces to LED light
bulbs will produce lower bills for Michigan consumers and more jobs for Michigan workers.

�Unlike the coal we buy from Wyoming and Montana, money we spend on energy efficiency will
produce tens of thousands of jobs in Michigan.
As proof that it can be done, our state government has cut electricity use by 23 percent and saved
taxpayers some $60 million over the past three years. How did we do it? We installed energy
saving light bulbs from Michigan companies in Troy and Detroit. We used Michigan-made
heating and air-conditioning equipment from Michigan companies in Kalamazoo and Three
Rivers. M ichigan workers have caulked windows, blown insulation, and installed energy-saving
devices. Saving Michigan money, creating Michigan jobs. If state government can do this, you
can too.
The third way we'll create jobs through our aggressive 45-by-20 goal is to create the M ichigan
Energy Corps to put thousands of unemployed Michigan citizens back to work this year,
weatherizing homes, schools and other publ ic buildings, install ing renewable energy technology,
and turning our abundant natural resources into renewable fuels.
In the next year a lone, we've set a goal of weatherizing more than I 00,000 homes in our state and
installing energy efficiency and renewable energy technology in I ,000 buildings. Every one of
those projects means new jobs for people who need them right now.
And fourth, we will launch a program called Michigan Saves in conjunction with our utility
companies. Michigan Saves will allow Michigan families and businesses to weatherize their
homes and install Michigan-made energy efficiency technology with zero up-front charges. The
monthly savings will pay the cost of the improvements.
Achieving these ambitious goals will a lso lessen the need for a slew of new coal power p lants in
M ichigan. That's why I have directed the Department of Environmental Quality to evaluate, in
consultation with our Public Service Commission, both the need for additional e lectricity
generation and all feasible and prudent alternatives before approving new coal-fired power plants
in Michigan. One such alternative is developing technology to prevent coal plants from spewing
dirty carbon emissions into the air. That breakthrough technology, and others like it, can create
jobs here, too.

The nation is moving to a new energy future, but if we are willing to think strategically and act
boldly, like we have in other sectors, Michigan can lead job creation in this area too. While this
new energy sector represents our single best hope for new investment and new jobs, Michigan's
diversification strategy has also targeted other emerging sectors from the life sciences to
advanced manufacturing to homeland security. And we have similar results in those sectors.
In fact, since we made bipartisan changes to our economic development incentives last year,
M ichigan's economic development agency, the MEDC, had the best six months ever in its history
for creating jobs: 55,000 jobs; $4.7 billion of investment; 84 companies. This despite the
recession. Just since August. Those jobs and businesses are listed on our Web site at
www.michigan.gov/jobs.
In the year ahead, my motto will continue to be I will go anywhere, do anything to bring jobs to
Michigan. My seven overseas jobs missions have brought 45 new businesses, $956 million in
investment, and nearly II ,000 new jobs to our state. This year, I wi ll again go wherever there's
an opportunity to bring jobs back to Michigan.

�We are a lso creating new opportunities for Michigan's existing businesses through our Buy
M ichigan First directive.
Since I issued an order creating a preference for Michigan firms, over 85 percent of your tax
dollars spent on state contracts have gone to Michigan businesses. In the year ahead, we will
require other units of government in Michigan - our cities and townships, our counties and school
districts, o ur colleges and universities - to adopt their own Buy Michigan First policies. We all
benefit when we spend our dollars with M ichigan companies.
When I talk with people across Michigan they often ask, "What can I do to help?" Here's my
simple answer: Whenever you can, buy products made or grown in Michigan. There's no reason
we can't a ll root for the home team.
Support Michigan. Select Michigan. Buy Michigan. Everything from Ford to Faygo. From
Be ll's Beer to Blueberries. While we may court new investment from outside our state, our first
love is the businesses that have long called Michigan home.

To restore our state's economy, we need to tap the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship that
fostered the development of our domestic auto industry more than 100 years ago.
This year, our Michigan Economic Development Corporation will launch a competition among
Michigan universities to develop a comprehensive statewide plan to use our higher education
system to maximize entrepreneurial activity in Michigan.
This will involve better curricula to train the entrepreneurs we need to spur business growth and
job creation, more effective transfer ofuniversity-developed research and technology, and
increased assistance for growing Michigan businesses - all designed to power the transformation
ofour economy.
Our efforts to strengthen Michigan's economy must ofcourse include bringing new life to our
urban areas, the anchors ofour regional economies.
In 2008, we continued to focus on our Cities of Promise, eight communities that have borne the
brunt ofour loss ofmanufacturing jobs.
To help bring new investment and new jobs to these communities, we made important changes to
our Brownfield program, which is recognized as one ofthe best in the nation. It is now even
more effective at turning blighted, functionally obsolete, and contaminated sites in our cities into
locations for productive development.
In the last year alone, these changes resulted in 16 new projects, nearly 1,000 jobs, and over
$500 million ofnew investment in our Cities of Promise.
Brownfields represent one kind ofblig ht in our urban areas, dangerous abandoned buildings
represent another. They are open invitations to the crime and vandalism that destroy the quality
oflife in a neighborhood.

�To date, we've demolished nearly 3,000 blighted and vacant structures in our Cities of Promise.
Thanks to the $98.6 million we were allocated through the federal Neighborhood Stabilization
Program, the Land Bank and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority will dedicate
up to $20 million dollars to help cities demolish even more of these dangerous eyesores and help
return their sites into productive assets.
We also have a powerful tool to spur urban redevelopment in our nationally recognized Michigan
Land Bank. The land bank has worked diligently to make abandoned and foreclosed properties
productive and beneficial parts ofour communities. This past year, the land bank increased this
return by 221 percent, bringing hundreds ofproperties back to productive condition. In the year
ahead, the land bank will offer property for free to any business creating at least 20 green energy
jobs in Michigan.
This past year, the land bank established the Garden for Growth Program, making state-owned
properties available to any citizen wishing to create urban gardens. This has helped to increase
access to fresh, healthy, affordable food for our citizens
This year, the State Land Bank will partner with local governments to assemble publicly -owned
property to create urban farms. By working with agriculture groups and schools, we will work
together to educate our young citizens about the benefits ofgrowing food for their families.*
E ducation

To attract and grow quality jobs, we must have the best trained, best educated workforce. That's
why we've set an ambitious goal - to double the number of college graduates in Michigan. And
we made progress toward that goal in many ways in 2008.
All of our stud ents are now taking a rigorous high school curriculum that prepares them for
success in college or technical training. It's one of the toughest in the nation. All of our high
school students now take a college entrance exam free of charge. All are e ligible for a $4,000
Michigan Promise scholarship that puts a college degree within the reach of every student. And
today, we have a record number of students attending our state universities and community
colleges. That's progress.
In the year ahead, we will do more to help all students achieve the high goals we've set for them.
Our 21" Century Schools Fund will help school districts replace high schools that don't work,
with small, rigorous ones that do. Plans are already under way in districts across our state, from
Detroit to Flint to Holland, to create more than 25 of these rigorous new high schools that not
only keep kids in school but put them on the path to success in college and careers.
The success of the Kalamazoo Promise has inspired communities across the nation, but Michigan
will now be the first state to replicate that achievement on a large scale. This year, 10 Michigan
communities struggling with high rates of poverty will create Promise Zones that use the promise
of free college education to spur greatness in our kids and economic development in those
communities. Thanks to Representative Melton and Senator VanWoerkom fo r sponsoring this
ground-breaking legislation.

�This year, we will launch a Michigan College Access Network that will bring together
foundations, business and labor organizations, the faith-based community, our K-1 2 schools and
our higher education institutions to get all Michigan students on the path to education after high
school.
This new organization will be born at the Governor's Education Summit in April and will make
sure every young person in Michigan and their parents know how to plan for, apply for and pay
for a college education or technical training.*
And we must also help our teachers. We are very proud that Michigan was just named #2 in the
country for our percentage of well-qualified teachers in the classroom. With all of our high
school students now taking tougher math classes, we must continue to equip those teachers .
Beginning this summer, our Algebra for All initiative will give teachers across our state the
professional development they need to teach algebra in a proven way that ensures a ll kids master
it, whether they're math whizzes or not.
Our efforts to expand educational opportunity are not limited to the young. Our No Worker Left
Behind initiative will continue to train workers for skilled jobs that are available in Michigan
today, providing free college tuition, up to $5,000 per year for two years.
Our goal was to train the first 100,000 workers who sig ned up over a three-year period. We're
over halfway there, with 52,000 Michigan c itizens getting training through No Worker Le ft
Behind for in-demand jobs as nurses or electric linemen or welders or solar panel installers or
computer technicians. Fifty-two thousand people, an army of determined citizens who have had
the &lt;.:ourage and the resilien&lt;.:e to remake themselves, and in so doing, are helping us day-by-day
to remake Michigan.
The two critical questions we, as leaders, must answer, are: How do we get more good-paying
jobs in Michigan? And how do we make sure our people have the education and training to fill
those jobs?
And the two critical questions our fami lies must answer are: Where are the kids going to college
after high school - not if they are going, but where? W hat training do mom and dad need to
move up at work or get a new job in a new field?
Today, we are doing more in Michigan to make training and education available to citizens than
at any time in our history. I am proud that we are creating these educational opportunities. But it
is only Michigan families themselves who can seize such opportunities and build a better future
and a better state.
Protect

As we fight for new jobs, we must do all we can to protect those who are hurting the most under
the weight of this economic crisis. As Michigan's families stmggle to keep their homes and their
jobs; to pay their bills and send their kids to college, they need us to stand up with them and for
them.

�That is why we have added significantly more resources to the unemployment insurance system a new call center, additional hours, on-line service, more employees - to handle the massive
increases in volume. So tonight, I am proposing five additional, urgent measures to protect
families during this economic crisis.
First, as we accelerate our push to get more kids to college, we cannot have them priced out of the
market by tuition increases. I am asking Michigan's universities and community colleges to
freeze tuition for the next academic year. No tuition hikes during this year of economic crisis.
Second, with thousands of families across our state facing the threat of home foreclosure, I call on
the Legislature to pass the Home Foreclosure Prevention Act to give famil ies 90 days to work out
new financing for their homes without fear of foreclosure. Thank you, Representative Johnson
and Representative Colouris, for your strong advocacy on this issue.
This is not a partisan bill - it is a bill that responds to the housing emergency facing Michigan
families. Foreclosures devastate families, but they a lso undennine housing values for blocks and
whole neighborhoods. I urge both chambers to act immediately, act as if the bank were
demanding the keys to your home.
Third, I have asked the Public Service Commission to ban utility shut-offs for the remainder of
this winter for seniors, people with disabilities, and low- o r no-income households.
No more deaths like we saw last month in Bay C ity, where a 93-year-old man froze to death in
his home after his utilities were shut off.
We must be sure this protection extends to customers of municipal utilities that are not subject to
the PSC's authority. Thank you, Senator Barcia and Representative Mayes, or your leadership on
this issue.

The fourth urgent measure - I call upon every auto insurance company to freeze rate increases for
12 months while the Legislature works to enact comprehensive insurance reform. After holding
hearings across the state, Michigan's insurance advocate will tomorrow release a report showing
that our citizens are paying among the highest rates in America for auto insurance they are
compelled by law to buy. T hat report includes smart, specific proposals to give Michigan drivers
the choices that citizens in other states have: solid coverage with fair and affordable rates.
If an insurance company refuses to freeze rates during this 12-month period, I am directing the
Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation to use every administrative tool at its disposal to
assure fair and affordable rates for Michigan consumers. Thank you, Senator Scott, for your
consistent voice on insurance affordability.
Finally, despite our continuing fiscal challenges, it is urgent that we continue to protect the
health-care safety net in Michigan.
In the budget I submit to you next week, I will ask you to join me in ensuring that we do not strip
people of their health coverage in our quest to reduce spending.
For the last six tough years, we have refused to take the easy way out by cutting health care to
those who are the most fragile. I ' m proud that we have not cut a single child, or senior, or person
with a disability off of health care. Not one.

�I am asking you to join me in continuing to protect those whom people of faith often call "the
least of these" - who are often invisible to those in the halls of power. Let us commit, during this
recession, to be guided by our best angels, as we protect those least able to defend themselves.
Denying health care to the vulnerable merely increases the cost for those who are fortunate
enough to have coverage. That's not the answer.

We can take great pride in the fact that, despite continual deficits, Michigan's number of
uninsured children remains one ofthe lowest in the nation.
In the year ahead, expanding coverage for those children who remain uninsured will be priority
number one. Now that Congress has voted to reauthorize the State Children's Health Insurance
Program, we will utilize eve1y opportunity to assure that all children in Michigan have access to
affordable coverage.
We must also work to assure the sustainability ofour insurance market in Michigan to preserve
access to affordable coverage for our working families. For many who do not have access to
employer-sponsored coverage or are not eligible for public programs, individual coverage is
their only insurance option. However, the market for this type of insurance in Michigan is
changing as the demand for coverage continues to grow. That is why I have directed the Office
of Financial and Insurance Regulation to investigate the current conditions in the marketplace
and identify options that will help ensure access to affordable health care. I remain hopeful that
we can come together in the weeks and months ahead to focus on reforms that achieve these
goals in the spirit ofcompromise for a healthier Michigan.
We must also continueto do our part to tackle the drivers ofhealth-care costs and improve health
outcomes, particularly for our children. During the past several decades, obesity rates for our
children have soared among all age groups. Obesity increases the risk ofchronic diseases such
as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer, all ofwhich begin during the childhood
years. We need urgent action to turn back this rising tide.
The Healthy Kids, Healthy Michigan initiative, lead by Michigan's Surgeon General, has
established the first-ever, five-year strategic policy plan to address childhood obesity in our
communities and our schools. This policy agenda includes targeted approaches that will improve
public health by increasing access to physical activity and healthy food choices. Tonight, I am
charging the Departments of Community Health, Agriculture, Education, Human Services,
Energy, Labor &amp; Economic Growth, and Transportation to work together to begin
implementation of the year-one policy agenda.
Since our announcement ofthe MI Health Information Network (MIHIN) in 2006, Michigan has
been focused on moving the health-care industry into the 21st century by investing in health
information technology projects that will revolutionize how care is given and received in our
state. Making sure that health care providers know your current medications, your allergies and
your relevant medical history in a secure and confidential way will eliminate unnecessQ/y tests
and procedures, maximize provider and patient resources, greatly reduce medical errors like
drug interactions, and allow for coordination of health care, all ofwhich would bring down the
cost ofhealth care.

�This spring, our Department of Community Health will implement the Michigan Day of Oral
Health Outreach (M!-DOOR) initiative to mobilize volunteer dentists, hygienists, and other
health professionals to provide free dental care services in the city ofDetroit. This will be the
first ofmany days like it in communities across Michigan to provide comprehensive dental care
and education focused on prevention for those in need of services.
Tonight, I am also renewing the call for Michigan to finally join the 34 other states that have
banned smoking in public places. Each year in our state, smoking is responsible for $3.4 billion
in health care costs. Factor in the $3.8 billion in productivity losses caused by sm.oking and it's
clear that passing smoke-free legislation is a wise investment for our health and our health care
system.
The scientific evidence is unequivocal. The benefits to our residents are indisputable. And
passing smoke-free legislation that p rotects Michigan workers is the right thing to do.*
One final word about health care. The National Governors' Associatio n has asked me to co-chair
a bipartisan group of the nation's governors that will make recommendations to the president on
providing affordable accessible health care for all. I will carry to President Obama Michigan's
experiences, your stories, the stories of our families and our businesses struggling to compete in a
world where other countries provide health care for their people.
M ichigan's message is clear: We must have affordable, accessible health care for a ll Americans.

Conclusion
Protecting Michigan families from the harsh winds of an economic crisis. Giving our young
people and adults in the workforce the skills they need to succeed in a new economy. And
creating the good-paying jobs Michigan fami lies need to lead successful lives in the state they
love.
Those of us chosen to lead Michigan in this time of crisis cannot shrink from this c hallenge. So
consider: Is it harder to balance the state budget or the budget of a family that's just gone from
two paychecks to one?
Does it take more courage to say no to some special interest lobbyist or to tell your spouse and
your children that you have no job to go back to Monday morning?
No, the challenges we face as leaders don't compare to what Michigan families must overcome
every day.
I began this evening by talking about Michigan fami lies, their problems and their fears . Let me
introd uce you to two of those families.
Tyler and Diana Sutton live in Bay City. Tyler is 45. W hen he lost his job as the manager of a
sporting goods store two years ago, he wasn't sure what to do next. He'd been in retail for 20
years; no one was hiring. He had three kids; one is about to go to college.

�While he was on unemployment, he learned about No Worker Left Behind and the training it
provided to fill jobs available in the chemical industry. He enrolled at Delta College where he
earned an associates degree in chemical processing within a year and a half. Today, he's got a
good job w ith good benefits as a processing technician at Dow Corning. And he'll tell you he
loves it.
Sitting next to the Suttons are Dwayne and Barbara H icks from Fraser in Macomb County. When
Dwayne lost his third job because of the economy, after 20 years in the tool and die industry, the
Hicks fam ily faced a tough decision. He could take a trades job in South Carolina, or he could go
back to school at age 44 fo r a new career in Michigan through No Worker Left Behind. They
chose Michigan.
While Dwayne had never been to college, he's now enrolled at Macomb Community College
where he's earning a degree in information technology. Both Dwayne and Tyler had to swallow
their fears about becoming students again in m iddle age; charting a new life course at almost the
halfway mark. Dwayne wrote me a great thank you letter in December. He explained:

Even though I had received an announcement/rom the state [about the No Worker Left Behind]
program, I was reluctant to accept it, partly because I believed that someone with my capabilities
could indeed secure work and partly because at 44 years ofage, I had fears that I might be
unsuccessful pursuing an education. *
But he did accept the state's offer to pay for retraining, and he's almost finished and getting a 3.5
GPA.
This is how he closes his letter:
I feel that we must pull together to get through this rough patch ofroad and do what is necessary

to create an even better Michigan, a place the rest ofour great country can look at and say "they
grow leaders there."*
Amen, Dwayne.
A wise person once said that "courage is the ability to sacrifice what we are for what we could
become."
M ichigan must summon just such courage to abandon the old ways that no longer serve us. If
there are leaders and heroes in this economic crisis, they are the Suttons and the Hicks and the
fam ilies like them who face head-on the challenges of change with the courage to g row in a new
direction. In the midst of heartache and strife, they fixed on hope and strength to build a better
future. Their hope is Michigan's hope. Their strength is Michigan's strength. And fixed on that
hope and that strength, we, together, will bui ld a better Michigan.
God bless you all, and God bless the g reat state of Michigan.

III. Membership Renewals and Retention
Requests for membership renewals will be sent in late February with the goal to have renewals in

assessment survey with the renewal process but to conduct such a survey later in the year. It
approved a plan to have calls made by Trustees and volunteers from the membership to each
member during the period March to May promoting the value of CMF membership. Staff will
provide talking points.
RESOLVED that each Trustee and other volunteers from the membership be invited to
call three members each between March and May 2009 with a goal to promote the value of
membership in CMF.
IV. Guiding Principles for Corporate Giving Programs

In response to requests received from corporate giving program members, the Committee
discussed amending the seven Guiding Principles as a condition of membership for Corporate
Giving Programs. It was noted that corporate giving program are not separate charitable
nonprofits as are corporate foundations. The seven Guiding Principles are:

composition of its board, committees, staff and advisors/consultants and through its
business practices.
7. Support continuous learning by trustees, staff and grantees.

�Climate Warming will make regions
feel more tropical
Changing IL and MI Summers (JJA)

By 2030 c::::::::J By 2095 -

�Other Indicators
• Glacier National Park- all
glaciers gone by 2030
• Himalayan Ice fields - 40°/o of world's
population will lose 50 percent of fresh
water supply by 2030
• Thermal expansion - 1 to 3 feet by 2100
• Ocean acidification
• Loss of hydropower
Working to Create Michigan's Future Today

�Cannot anticipate climate
"triggers"
• Climate system is highly non-linear
• Risks are non-linear
• Feedback loops, thresholds that may bring
sudden dramatic changes
• Characteristic of non-linearity makes climate
prediction difficult

Working to Create Michigan's Future Today

��Early intervention is imperative
• Actions taken today, no matter how
dramatic, will not alter climate course we are
headed on for the next two decades
Rajendra Pachauri- "If there's no action
before 2012, that's too late. What we do in
the next two to three years will determine our
future. This is the defining moment"

Working to Create Michigan's Future Today

�Cost of inaction
• Stern Report- inaction reduces global GOP by
5-11 percent annually; mitigation measures
would cost 1 percent of global GOP annually.
Climate change represents "the greatest
market failure the world has ever seen."
• German Institute for Economic Research- up
to $20 trillion by 21 00
• European Commission's Directorate General
for the Environment- $73 trillion by 2200 (in
2000 dollars)
Working to Create Michigan's Future Today

�3. Energy Security

• US uses 21 million barrels per day- 25°/o
of global consumption
• Import 13.4 million barrels per day
• Cost: $487 billion per year (@$120 pb)

Working to Create Michigan's Future Today

�Michigan Fuel Imports
• $24+ billion per year
• 100°/o of coal used for power generation
• 96°/o of transportation fuels
• 75°/o of natural gas

Working to Create Michigan's Future Today

�Cost of fuels will increase again
• Increasing demand -China and India
• Carbon regulation
• Cost of extraction and transportation
• Diminishing supply

Working to Create Michigan's Future Today

"The price of oil and the pace of
freedom always move in opposite
directions."

�Michigan Organized Philanthropy Demographic Survey Results

Executive Summary
As part of the Council of Michigan Foundations' (CMF's) Transforming Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, the Community
Research Institute at the Johnson Center at Grand Valley State University surveyed Michigan foundations to quantify the demographics of organized
philanthropy's staffs and boards. In response to an increasing emphasis on diversity by many in the philanthropic sector, the purpose of this study was to provide
a baseline of the demographic characteristics of Michigan foundations which may be used to monitor changing demographics o f the sector change over time.
Approximately 650 foundations were mailed invitations to participate in the survey~ eighty-nine foun dations (13.7% response rate) from across the state of
Michigan responded.

Leadership
The survey asked a series of questions specifically about the demographics of the Board Chair and the CEO of each foundation. Wide age ranges comprised both
leadership roles- respondents reported having Chairs from 35 to 92 years old and CEOs from 32 to 92 years old (average ages were 62 and 56, respectively).
Tenure was similarly broad; Chairs had served on their boards anywhere from one to 51 years, while CEOs had held their positions zero to 32 years (14 and 10
years average, respectively). Approximately nine of every ten Board Chairs and C EOs from respondent foundations were White. There was no representation of
Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders or Native Americans/Alaska Natives among responding foundations' leadership. There was more racial diversity among
Board Chairs and CEOs in southern parts of Michigan than in northern parts of the state, and there was greater racial diversity among younger and less tenured
CEOs.

Board and Staff
Participating foundations had a total of I ,007 board members (an average of II per organization). Foundations reported employing 93 individuals at the Vice
President level or higher (not including CEOs), averaging one per organization. Below the Vice President level, respondents indicated employing 566 full time
and 89 part time employees (an avemge of six and one per foundation, respectively). The data show that, on average, women made up 40% of board members. In
contrast, the average staff was predominately female, especially below the vice president level. There is low minority representation among executive foundation
staff(2.4% Hispanic/Latino/Latina and 6.3% Black/African American, on average) and trustees (I. I% Hispanic/Latino!Latina and 8.0% Black/African
American, on average). The ethnic/racial composition of full time staff below the Vice President level is notably similar to that of the population of the state of
Michigan. Board members were, on average, older than staff members, and executives were older than non-executive full time staff. Part time staff members
below the vice president level had proportionally more younger and older staff members than other employee groups (perhaps a result of employment of
individuals new to the workforce and those transitioning into retirement).

Policy and Grantmaking
Organizations often develop policies which directly affect the ir internal demographics or dictate the target demographics of their stakeholders, clients, or
beneficiaries. One-quarter of respondents indicated having specific goals, policies, or guidelines regarding staff diversity, while 43% of foundations had policies
on board diversity and 20% had executive diversity guidelines. Eighteen percent of participants stated that their foundations' missions led to all of their grants
serving specific demographic populations, while 54% indicated that some grants served specific populations and 28% had no demographic target. When asked
which populations their grantmaking guidelines or mission statements specifically targeted, participants responded with a variety of answers-the most regularly
cited of these was youth and children (37%). A larger percentage of foundations with relatively small or large endowments and grantmaking amounts targeted
their grantmaking at specific demographic groups than medium-sized foundations.

About This Report
The Council of Michig an Foundations (CMF) approached the C ommunity Research Institute (CRI) at the Johnson Center at Grand Valley State University to
undertake research and evaluation associated with CMF's Transforming Michigan Philanthropy through Divers ity and Inclus ion Initiative. Several specific
elements make u p the body of the research, including:
a survey of Michigan foundations to quantify the demographics of organized philanthropy's staffs and boards,
a s urvey ofCMF's staff and board regarding their attitudes and perceptions of diversity,
tracking of C MF's exte rnal activities surrounding diversity,
tracking of recognition o f CMF as a leader in d iversity,
and a review ofCMF's policies to determine how integral diversity and inclusion are t hereto.
This report presents findings from the first component of this research. In a sector where diversity is increasingly emphas ized, it is critical to understand how
diverse organized philanthropy currently is . The purpose of this study was to provide a snapshot of the demographic characteristics of Michigan foundation
boards and staff. These data can be used as a base line to see if demog raphics of the sector change over time.

Methodology
The survey instrument (see Appendix I) was des igned to meet C MF's data requirements as well as to align with national surveys (such as the Foundation
Center's work in California). The instrument was presented as an online PD F form. Approximately 650 foundations were mailed invitations to participate in the
survey; the c-riteria used to detem1ine which foundations were to be invited were:
Included :
E xcluded:
All family foundations in Michigan with a ssets of$1 million or
Community foundation affiliates.
more.
Community foundations w hich are not CMF members.
All independent and corporate foundations.
Corporate giving programs.
All community foundations which are CMF members.
Community foundation and public foundation donor advised funds.
The representative receiv ing the le tter was informed that the survey required knowledge of the demographics of the foundation 's board and staff and was asked
to pass the invitation to someone with access to such data, if the recipient did not. Participants were g iven the option to ti ll out the survey and submit it
electronically or return it by mail. Data collection was conducted between May 2008 and October 2008, and represents respondent assessments of foundation
board and staff composition at that time. Staff followed a protocol for follow ing up with nonresponding foundations via te lephone and e-mail in order to
maximize the response rate and ensure representation of foundations of varied s ize, type, a nd geography.
Because survey participation was not based on a randomized sample, results of th is sn1dy should not be directly generalized to the entire population of
foundations statewide. C haracteristics o f responding foundations are included in the tables in the section entitled "Characteristics of Partic ipating Foundations,"
as well as in the deta iled presentation of data, in o rder to allow readers to assess the extent to which findings may reflect their experience of particular aspects of
Michiga n's organized philanthropic sector.
Survey data were analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. For the portions of the survey in which respondents are asked to provide the number of board and
staff members fitting each criterion, it was noted that many fields were left blank. Upon inspection of these blanks, it was detennined that most o f these blanks
represented zeroes (i.e. the participant left the field blank because there were no board or staff members fitting that demog raphic description). Therefore, these
blanks were imputed to be zero during data clean-up. Leav ing those fields blank in analysis (computing averages) would have unrealistically inflated all other
answers. Imputing zeroes create more realistic averages .

�Michigan Organized Philanthropy Demographic Survey Results

Overview of Findings
Characteristics of Participating Foundations
Eighty-nine foundations (13.7% response rate) from across the state of Michigan participated in the Michigan Organized Philanthropy Demographic
Survey. Over a quarter of respondents were located in southeast Michigan.
Many different types of foundations participated in the survey, the majority being community or family foundations (35% and 26% respectively).
Participating foundations made over one billion dollars in g rants last year, with a median annual grantmaking amoun t of $650,000. Respondents covered

the fu ll spectrum of sizes, and their total reported assets equaled nearly $ 18 billion (median asset value was approximately $ 12 million).

Leadership
Respondents reported having Board Chairs from 35 to 92 years old and CEOs from 32 to 92 years old (average ages were 62 and 56, respectively).
Chairs had served on their boards anywhere from one to 5 1 years, while CEOs had held their positions zero to 32 years ( 14 and 10 years average,
respectively).
Over one-third ofCEOs of respondent foundations were hired from within the organization, while 22% were working in the nonprofit sector, 17% were
in the private sector, 14% came from another foundation, and I0% were recruited from some other source.
One in every three Board Chairs of responding foundation was female, and none of the Chairs were Hispanic or Latina/a. No Board Chairs or CEOs
were Arab or Arab American.

Approximately nine of every ten Board Chairs and CEOs from respondent foundations were White . There was no representation of Native

Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders or Native Americans/Alaska Natives among responding foundations' leadership. The leadership of all responding family
foundations was White. There was more racial diversity among Board Chairs and CEOs in southern parts o f Michigan than in northern parts o f the state.
There was greater racial diversity among younger and less tenured CEOs. This may suggest that foundations are moving toward more diverse

leadership.

Board and Staff Member Demographics
Participating foundations had a total of 1,007 board members (an average of II per organization). Foundations reported employing 93 indiv iduals at the
Vice President level or higher (not including CEOs, discussed above), ave raging one per organization. Below the Vice President level, respondents
indicated employing 566 full time and 89 part time employees (an average of six and one per foundation, respectively).
The data show that, on average, women made up 40% of board members. In contrast, the average staff was predominately female, especially below the
vice president level.
There is low minority representation among executive foundation staff(2.4% Hispanic/ Latino/Latina and 6.3% Black/African American, on average)

and trustees {I. !% Hispanic/Latino/Latina and 8.0% Black/African American, on average). The ethnic/racial composition of full time staff below the
Vice President level is remarkably similar to that of the population of the state of Michigan.
Board members and executive staff tended to have more years of service than staff membe rs below the vice president level.
Board members were, on average, older than staff members, and executives were older than non-executive full time staff. Part time staff members below

the vice president level had proportionally more younger and older staff members than other employee groups {perhaps a result of employment of
indiv iduals new to the workforce and those transitioning into retirement).

Policies and Grantmaking
One-quarter of respondents indicated having specific goals, policies, or guidelines regarding staff diversity, while 4 3% of foundations had polic ies on

board diversity and 20% had executive diversity guidelines.
Eighteen percent of participants stated that their foundations' missions led to all of their grants serving specific demographic populations, while 54%
indicated that some grants served specific populations and 28% had no demographic target.
When asked which populations their grantmaking guidelines or mission statements specifically targeted, participants responded with a variety of
answers- the most regularly cited of these was youth and children (37%).
A larger percentage of foundat ions with relatively s mall or large endowments and grantmaking amounts targeted their grantmaking at specific
demographic groups than medium-sized foundations.

One in every three Board Chairs of responding foundation was female. None of the Chairs were Hispanic or Latino/a, No Board Chairs or CEOs were Arab or
Arab American.

Racial Composition of Foundation Leadership
This survey asked separate racial and ethnic questions, as do many surveys and censuses, because of the distinction between race and ethnicity . Both race and
ethnicity have strong cultural and social associations, and there is often an overlap between the two. Race can be thought o f as the combined physical expression
of certain genes which detennine one's skin tone, facial features, hair type, or other characteristics, while ethnic ity is one's self-identified cultural affiliation.
Approximately nine of every ten Board Chairs and CEOs from respondent foundations were White. There was no representation of Native Hawaiians/Pacific
Islanders or Native Americans/A laska Natives among responding foundations' leadership. The racial composition of leadership varied across foundation type,

size, and location (see the tables below). The leadership of all responding family foundations was White. There was more racial diversity among Board Chairs
and CEOs in southern parts of Michigan than in northern parts of the state.

�Michigan Organized Philanthropy Demographic Survey Results

Board and Staff Member Demographics
Participating foundations had a total of I ,007 board members (an average of II per organization). Foundations reported employing 93 individuals at the Vice
President level or higher (not including CEOs, discussed above), averaging one per organization. Below the Vice President level, respondents indicated
employing 566 full time and 89 part time employees (an average of six and one per foundation, respectively).
Percentages of board and staff members fa lling into various demographic groups are based upon the total number provided by the respondent. Participants'
responses providing demographic information about their board and staff members did not necessarily add up to the total number of board and staff members

they provided. Therefore the sum of percentages of board and staff members in racial/ethnic groups (presented in the table below) does not equal 100%.
The data show that, on average, women made up 40% of board members. In contrast, the average staff was predominate ly female, especially below the v ice
president level. There is low minority representation among executive foundation staff(2.4% Hispanic/Latino/ Latina and 6 .3% Black/African American, on

avemge) and trustees (1.1% Hispanic!Latino/Latina and 8.0% Black/African American, on average). Demographic composition of foundations varied by
foundation type, grantmaking, assets, and region (please see Appendix II for a detailed analysis of board and staff member demographics by these factors). The
ethnic/racial composition of full time staff below the Vice President level is remarkably similar to that of the population of the state of Michigan (as a point of
reference, Appendix Ill provides raciaVethnic data from the 2000 United States Census for Michigan and the geographic regions used in this report).

Board members were, on average, older than staff members, and executives were o lder th~m non executive full time staff. Part time staff members below the vice
president level had proportionally more younger and older staff members than other employee groups (perhaps a result of employment of individuals new to the
workforce and those transitioning into retirement).

Policies and Grantmaking
Organizations often develop pol icies which directly affect their internal demographics or dictate the target demographics of their stakeholders, clients, or
beneficiaries. One-quarter of respondents indicated having specific goals, policies, or guidelines regarding staff diversity, while 43% of foundations had policies
o n board diversity and 20% had executive diversity guidelines. Eighteen percent of participants stated that their foundations' missions led to all of their grants
serving specific demographic populations, while 54% indicated that some grants served specific populations and 28% had no demographic target. When asked
which populations their grantmak ing guidelines o r miss ion state ments specifically targeted, participants responded w ith a variety of answers-the most regularly
cited of these was youth and children (37%).

Re:

Plan of Work for Fiscal Year Starting Aprill, 2009

We look forward to presenting the Plan of Work for the Fiscal Year starting April 1,
2009.
In the front pocket of the Board book you w ill find the complete plan of work. We are not
proposing any changes in the Goals, Objectives, Strategies or ongoing activities. A new
addition to the Plan is the Acronym and Term Reference List.
At the Board Meeting, we will offer a power point that highlights both: key
accomplishments in the current fiscal year, and proposed new activities. The proposed
new activities are summarized in the following document that ends with the Acronym
and Term Reference List.

In addition, you will find in recognition of our newest team member Kimberly Burton, a
summary of the new Corporate Philanthropy Plan she has developed with counsel from
Caroline Chambers, Vice Chair for Corporate Philanthropy.
The organization of the Plan of Work has been greatly aided by the counsel of the
Executive Committee. Therefore we propose the follow ing Resolution for consideration
and action:
RESOLVED that the Plan of Work for 2009-10 be approved as recommended by
the Executive Committee.

�Strengthening Service to Members -With input from a new Education Team and
results from an analysis of topics covered and participation levels in programs del ivered
from, 2006-2008, CMF will be establishing new internal systems to increase value,
participation and impact of its educational programs and increase use of the knowledge
resources available on the CMF website. Components will include: standard pricing,
common evaluation tools and procedures, data tracking and increased market research as
well as specific targets for increased participation including of currently unengaged
members. To serve members during the current economic downturn, CMF is increasing
on-line program delivery.

President's Report

This Report compliments the highlights of activities in the December 30, 2008 President's Update I sent
to you. If you would like another copy ofthat Update, please let Sue know.
This Report includes three subsections that we will feature in our Board meeting. Section I is the Update
on the 371h Annual Conference being held in conjunction with the Annual Conference of Independent
Sector. Section II is the Update on the Diversity and Inclusion Initiative. Section III is the Update on
Public Policy activities. This Report from Dana Linnane, our Public Policy Fellow, highlights the many
activities that have already occurred in January and February in response to the economic crisis faced by
Michigan, the nation and world.

I. ADVOCACY- To advocate for a legislative and regulatory environment conducive to
philanthropy
Activities under this Goal are included in the Government Relations Committee Report. Briefings for
members in January and February have featured how to deal with opportunities presented by legislation
passed in Lansing: the Michigan Promise Zone legislation, and the Low Profit Limited Liability
Corporation, and in February- passage of the Federal Stimulus Package by Washington.

II. EDUCATE- To educate foundation trustees and staff about effective practice
In addition to the many activities highlighted in the Public Policy Report and the summary points
offered in my December Update, the following are noted:
November 13, 2008- Family Philanthropy Teleconference -"The Connected Giving Family"
Dana Marcus, Executive Director of the Frieda C. Fox Family Foundation in Los Gatos, California,
presented simple online techniques such as online video, family intranets, Skype and virtual site visits,
that help distant family members stay in touch, engage a new generation of givers and promote grantees.
Three hands-on regional family foundation meetings focused on web-based technology are being
planned for September 15, 22, and 29, in Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, and Midland.
December 13, 2008- Family Philanthropy Teleconference-"Perpetuity is a Long Time"
Richard Moore, President of the Weaver Foundation in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Daniel Bader,
President of the Helen Bader Foundation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, discussed why a growing number of
family foundations are sun- setting due to fami ly and program reasons, and outlined why it is important
for every foundation board to have a conversation about perpetuity.

Economic Times"
Kathleen P. Enright, President and CEO ofGrantmakers for Effective Organizations, and Dave
Beckwith, Executive Director of the Needmor Fund in Toledo, Ohio, shared ideas and examples of what

III. INCREASE - To increase organized philanthropy in Michigan
As noted n my December Update, efforts have focused on the availability of the IRA Charitable
Rollover in 2009 as a giving tool.

STRATEGY- To provide programs, resources and technical assistance to build the capacity of
community foundations
January 20-23, 2009 YAC Advisor Roundtables
More than 50 YAC Advisors participated in a series of 4 conference calls to discuss Best Practices and
current challenges within their YACs. Content for two of the calls was geared for YAC Advisors in
their first year with the YAC, while the other two calls were intended for veteran YAC Advisors looking
to take their Y AC to the next level. Participants were able to learn new strategies from their peers and
discuss the best ways to empower young people.

IV. LEAD- To lead and support collaborative philanthropic responses to critical needs
The Public Policy Report in Section ill of the President's Report addresses many of the collaborative
responses to critical needs in Michigan. We look forward to having a discussion with our special guests
from the State on the Federal Stimulus Package at the Board Meeting.
MCFV and community philanthropy
The board of trustees ofMCFV (Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures) expanded in late 2008
and early 2009 to include Marissa Manlove, President of the Indiana Grantmakers' Alliance and
representatives from the Indiana community foundation field. This brings the total MCFV community
foundation outreach in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan to 285-more than a third of the community
foundations in the United States.
MCFV' s Access to Recreation grant initiated public policy activities and statewide meetings in Illinois,
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan in late 2008 and early 2009. Michigan's statewide public policy event
brought over 100 individuals from community found ations, parks and recreation associations, DNR and
the Michigan Fitness Foundation together to share lessons learned from recreation projects focused on
Universal Design and accessibly recreation opportunities. This four state Access to Recreation initiative
is funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
This past month, MCFV created a learning community of 12 Regional Associations or Community
Foundation Alliances that w ill partner with MCFV to deliver coordinated communications and technical
assistance around National Standards compliance andre-compliance. This initiative is funded through
support from the C.S. Mott Foundation and an "Idea Lab Grant" from the Council on Foundations.
The Michigan Community Foundations Youth Project (MCFYP) Committee
MCFYP has partnered with the Michigan Department of Community Health to distribute $25,000 to
YACs around the state who have designed and are preparing to implement effective programming to
prevent alcohol abuse. Eleven proposals have been approved for events in the spring of 2009. Funds for
each of the eleven projects selected will be matched 1 to 1 by the participating YAC.

Philanthropy 3D/Michigan &amp; Midwest- Update
Featured in the Winter issue of Memo to Members, the Philanthropy 3D project is in fina l stages of
design with implementation set to begin in spring 2009. Funded by a $75,000 grant from The David &amp;
Lucille Packard Foundation with additional funding of $15,000 from the Philanthropy Awareness
Initiative (PAI), 3D's vision is for influential leaders in Michigan to appreciate and seek partnerships
with foundations to improve the quality of life in Michigan. Its goal is to design and test a model for
communicating the unique value foundations bring to increasing Michigan's economic competiveness.
A $20,000 grant from the Forum of Regional Associations ofGrantmakers will allow for the adaptation
of CMF's model in a small and mid-sized regional association. Our partners are Donors Forum of
Wisconsin and Indiana Grantmakers Alliance. This spring, CMF will invite members to join a coalition
that will collaborate on the development and use of key messages about foundations' unique value in our
state. The project team led by Vicki Rosenberg includes Dana Linnane, Becky Noricks and David
Bleckley, project evaluator, Community Research Institute.

                    <text>OFFICE OF THE STATE BUDGET
FEBRUARY 12, 2009
Fiscal Year 2010
Proposed Revenue Enhancements
Proposal
Eliminate or modify t ax subsidies, adjust tax rates, and implement other measures
to gener ate ongoing revenue in support of higher spending priorities. Combined
fiscal year 2010 benefit to the stat e of Michigan is $231.6 million: $166.4 million
gen eral fund; and $65.2 million School Aid Fund.

Background
The fiscal year 2010 budget process examines direct spending as well as spending
for tax subsidies, weighing budget expenditures against tax expenditures within
available fiscal resources. In addition, changes in current law and tax enforcement
practices will enhance general fund and School Aid Fund revenues.
The Governor's fiscal year 2010 Executive Budget Recommendation includes the
followin g revenue proposals that are intended to be ongoing sources of revenue to
address the state's structural budget problem.

Proposed Revenue Enhancements ($174.9 million)
•

Commercial Rental Property

A 2002 Michigan Supreme Court decision (WPW Acquisition v City of Troy) barred
complete implement ation of 1994 Proposal A legislation regarding property taxation
on commercial rental property. That legislation provided that in calculating the cap
for determining the taxable value of commercial rental property, both increases and
decreases in occupancy would be treated differently from market value changes
affecting other types of property. The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that an
increase in value due to an increase in a commercial rental property's occupancy
could not be used to increase the property's taxable value beyond the constitutional
assessment cap established by Proposal A. As a r esult of this court decision,
commercial rental property taxes are based on occupancy decreases and are not
adjusted upward if the property's occupancy rate increases. Legislation is needed to
remove commercial rental property from the General Property Tax Act and create a
n ew specific tax that allows this property to be treated the way Proposal A
intended. Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year 2010, $10.0 million in School
Aid Fund revenue.

"Cybershame"- Publicize Names of Major De linquent Taxpayers

The "Cybershame" program would allow the n ames of major delinquent taxpayers
to be published. At least 18 states have found that publicizing the names of major
delinquent taxpayers encourages taxpayers to pay their taxes on time to avoid bad
publicity. The proposal will post on the internet the nam es of taxpayers that are
delinquent on over $100,000 in tax liability, but only after the Department of
Treasury notifies the taxpayer that their names may be publicized and gives the
taxpayer the opportunity to arrange for payment. Legislation is needed to
implement the "Cybershame" program. Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year
2010, $5.0 million in general fund revenue.
•

International and Certain Interstate Communications

Certain inter state t elecommunication services are exempt from the u se tax,
including toll-free numbers, WATS services, interstate private networks, and
international calls. It is not consistent to tax calls made within the state, or
between stat es, but not to tax calls made to oth er countries. A call to Sault Ste.
Marie, Michigan is taxed; a call to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario is not taxed.
Legislation is needed to require the use tax to be paid on t elecommunication
services that are placed or received in Michigan and billed to a Michigan service
address or phone number. Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year 2010, $14.5
million: $9.7 million in general fund revenue; $4.8 million in School Aid Fund
revenue.
•

Interstate Trucks a nd Trailers

The purchase or use of trucks, trailers, and parts is normally subj ect to the sales or
use tax. However, the tax does not apply if as little as 10 percent of miles traveled
occur outside of Michigan. Subjecting to taxation that portion of the u sage that
occurs in Michigan would mean, for example, that if 45% or 50% of miles traveled in
Michigan, then 45% or 50% of the sales or use tax would be owed. Legislation is
needed to subject that portion of the usage that occurs in Michigan to the sales or
use tax. Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year 2010, $21.0 million: $14.0 million
in general fund revenue; $7.0 million in School Aid Fund revenue.
•

Oil and Gas Income Double Deduction

Under current law, oil and gas activities in Michigan are taxed under the severance
tax and, in return, the income from these activities is not subj ect to Michigan
income tax. The Michigan income tax uses th e feder al adjusted gr oss income (AGI)
as the starting point. AGI includes the net amount of business income after all
business expenses have been subtracted. Since the incom e from oil and gas

�Proposed Revenue Enhancements
Febru a r y 12, 2009
Page 3
production is not subject to Michigan income tax, the net amount of oil and gas
income should be subtracted from the AGI. However, Michigan courts have allowed
oil and gas producers to take a different deduction from income. Certain indirect
costs, such as depreciation expenses, are allowed as a separate deduction from AGI,
creating a double tax advantage for this group of taxpayers. Legislation is needed
to eliminate the double deduction. Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year 2010,
$4.1 million: $3.1 million in general fund revenue; $1 .0 million in School Aid Fund
revenue.

•

Other Tobacco Products - Double the Tax Rate

The current tax rate on other tobacco products (OTP) is 32 percent of the wholesale
price- which is significantly lower than th e current tax rate on cigarettes. The
cigar ette tax of $2 per pack averages between 80 and 150 percent of the wholesale
price on a percentage basis, depending on whether the cigar ettes are a premium or
discount brand. This significant tax differential has created an incentive for
consumers to substitute tobacco products taxed as OTP for cigarettes. In addition,
manufacturers have cr eated new products that share many of the characteristics of
cigar ettes (white wrapping paper, filters, and packs of 20) but are sold as "little
cigars." These products have a considerable price advantage due to the different tax
rates assessed on OTP compared to cigarettes, and it appears these little cigars
have experienced increased sales while cigarette sales have declined. Legislation is
needed to double the tax rate on OTP. Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year
2010, $45.0 million in general fund revenue.

•

Personal Exemption - Suspend Indexin g

The personal income t ax exemption was increased from $2,100 to $2,400 in 1995
and 1996 and to $2,500 in 1997. In 1998, the personal exemption was increased by
$200 plus it began to be indexed to inflation which r esulted in another $100
increase. As a result, the personal exemption was increased to $2,800 for t ax year
1998 and continues to be annually adjusted to inflation. Legislation is needed to
suspend the inflation index for tax years 2009 and 2010. Annual impact in fiscal
year 2010, $57.0 million; $46.4 million in general fund revenue; $10.6 million in
School Aid Fund revenue. (Fiscal year 2011 impact: $65.0 million: $52.9 million in
gen eral fund r evenue; $12.1 million in School Aid Fund r evenue.)

•

Sales Tax Bad Debt Deduction

Under current law, a retailer, and after September 30, 2009, a lender , is allowed to
deduct the amount of bad debts related to previously reported, taxable r etail sales
at the time that these debts become worthless or uncollectible. Legislation is
needed to adjust the bad debt deduction to 80% of current value. Annual impact,

�Proposed Revenue Enhancements

beginning for fiscal year 2010, $12 million: $3.2 million in general fund revenue;
$8.8 million in School Aid Fund revenue.
•

Sales Tax Collection Allowance

Under current law, a seller is allowed to r etain 0 .75% of the sales and use tax (not
to exceed $20,000) if proceeds are remitted by the 12th of the month, or r etain 0.50%
of the tax (not to exceed $15,000) if proceeds are remitted from the 13th through th e
20th of th e month. Legislation is needed to adjust the sales tax collection allowance
to 80% of current value. Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year 2010, $3.1
million: $0.8 million in general fund revenue; $2.3 million in School Aid Fund
revenue.

•

Tobacco Tax Collection Allowance

Under current law, persons licensed to sell tobacco products are allowed to exempt
1.5% of the cigarette tax due, and 1% of the tax due on other tobacco products, to
cover their expenses in administering th e tax. Legislation is needed to adjust the
tobacco tax collection allowance t o 80% of current value. Annual impact, beginning
in fiscal year 2010, $3.2 million: $1.9 million in general fund revenue; $1.3 million
in School Aid Fund revenue.

Proposed Tax Enforcement ($17.6 million)
•

Compliance Enforcement - Delinquent Business Tax Accounts

The Department of Treasury pursues delinquent tax debts from the business
community through its field collection program. More complex business tax
accounts involve higher value delinquencies but also require extensive investigative
efforts to pursue these accounts. A recent pilot project identified approximately 5%
of active businesses are not registered for sales and withholding taxes and are not
in compliance with filing returns. Investing $895,000 for 10 FTE positions is
needed to expand compliance enforcem ent, resulting in increased tax obligation
revenue that would otherwise go uncollected. Annual impact, beginning in fiscal
year 2010, $11 .0 million: $7.8 million in general fund revenue; $3.2 million in
School Aid Fund revenue.

•

Income Tax Automation

The Departmen t of Treasury manually reviews and corrects approximately 400,000
errors, or 8% of the 5 million income tax returns filed, through its tax processing
bureau. This proposal would re-direct 12,000 of the errors to an aut o correction
system, allowing staff to manually review and correct additional errors. Investing

�Pro posed R evenue Enha n cem ents

$150,000 for 2 FTE positions is needed to expand reviews of t ax returns, resultin g
in increased tax revenue. Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year 201 0, $4.1
million: $3.7 million in general fund revenue; $0.4 million in School Aid Fund
revenue.

•

Use Ta x Audit Letter s to Bus inesses

Modeled after a state of California initiative, the Department of Treasury would
remind businesses of their potential tax liability under Michigan's Use Tax Act.
Letters would be mailed to businesses, asking them to review their recor ds on outof-state purchases for t he past 3 years to determine if additional taxes are owed.
Annual impact, beginning in fiscal year 2010, $2.5 million: $1.7 million in general
fund revenue; $0.8 million in School Aid Fund revenue.

Other Proposed Revenue Enha n cem e n ts

•

Liquor Revenue Incr eases ($24.1 million)

Doubling the Ret a il Licen se Fees
Most ret ail liquor license fees have remained unchanged for more th an 30 year s,
while the costs of licensing and enforcement activities has increased more th an
270% sin ce October 1976. In addition, th e license itself is a marketable commodity
with a high r esale valu e when bough t and sold in the private mark et . Legislation is
needed to double the fees paid by retail liquor licensees. Addit ion al revenue will
suppor t Michigan Liquor Control Commission regulat ory responsibilities with
u nexpended balances deposited to t he state general fund. Annual impact,
beginning for fiscal year 2010, $10.4 million in general fund revenue.

Exte nded H our P e rmits
Under current law, liquor licen sees are prohibited from selling liquor between the
hours of 2:00 a.m. an d 7:00 a.m. Legislation is needed to cr eate a new permit to
allow liquor sales to be extended by 2 h ours - from 2:00 a.m . t o 4:00 a.m.
Additional r evenue will support Michigan Liquor Control Com mission r egulatory
responsibilities with unexpended balances deposited to th e stat e gen eral fund.
Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year 2010, $4. 6 million in general fund revenue.

�Proposed Revenue Enhancements
February 12, 2009

Extended Sunday Hours
Under current law, liquor retail licensees ar e prohibited from selling liquor between
the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. midnight on Sundays, unless issu ed a permit
that allows sales to occur between the hours of 12:00 p.m. noon and 12:00 a.m.
midnight. Legislation is needed to create a new permit to allow liquor sales to occur
prior to 12:00 p.m. noon on Sunday. Additional revenue will support Michigan
Liquor Control Commission regulatory responsibilities with unexpended balances
deposited to the stat e general fund. Annual impact, beginning for fiscal year 2010,
$9. 1 million in general fund revenue.
•

Lottery Revenue Increase ($15.0 million)

Under a recently awarded gaming syst em contract, retailers will be provided
additional lottery terminals to sell on-line lottery tickets as well as instant tickets.
For fiscal year 2010, the Governor proposes t o tie lottery promotion and advertising
to 1 percent of previous sales revenue, increasing annual spending by
approximately $5 million. Investing $835,000 for 10 FTE positions is needed to
manage the inventory of additional terminals. More lottery terminals in
combinations with enhanced advertising and promotion spending is expected to
increase lottery sales and related revenue. Partial year impact, bef{inninff for fiscal
year 2010, $15.0 million in School Aid Fund revenue. (Fiscal year 2011 impact:
$30.8 million.)

routines influence human resource management capabilities, innovation, customer service,
healthcare management,and financial performance; (2) how firms respond, are resilient, and
learn from crisis situations; and (3) why organizations invest in certain human resource
management policies, such as women-friendly practices, diversity management and
work/life programs, and how these programs influence the firm 's capability to recruit,

Attitudes and Perceptions on Diversity Survey
Executive Summary
Prepared May 2009
In early 2009, the Community Research Institute (CRI) at the Johnson Center at Grand Valley
State University, on behalf of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), conducted a study of
the attitudes and perceptions of CMF staff and board members regarding diversity. Much of this
study was based on a framework of diversity perception grounded in theories of perceived
dissimilarity (Hohman, Bordia, &amp; Gallois, 2003) and acceptance of difference and similarity
(Miville eta!., 1999). That study's multi-faceted framework defines diversity perception to be
how different one perceives oneself to be from the rest of one's coworkers, how accepting one is
of both these differences and similarities, how open one perceives coworkers to be of
differences, and how one perceives differences to impact organizational effectiveness. A survey
designed within this framework was administered to the CMF board and staff.
The objectives of this survey were twofold. First, it sought to create a baseline measurement to
better understand CMF's internal attitudes toward diversity at the start of the organization's
Transforming Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion initiative. The survey will
be administered at a later date and the comparative results will be used to measure the extent to
which change occurred in attitudes and perceptions over time. The second objective was to
measure the level of consensus that currently exists among these internal stakeholders' (i.e. staff
and board members') perceptions of diversity. Both ofthese objectives were operationalized in
the following research questions:

1. What are stakeholders' perceptions of diversity and of the role of diversity in
organizational effectiveness?
2. How dissimilar do stakeholders perceive themselves to be from their colleagues, and how
open do stakeholders perceive their colleagues to be to dissimilarity?
3. To what extent do stakeholders appreciate both their similarities to and differences from
other people?
Combined, these research questions provide a comprehensive measure of internal stakeholders'
perceptions of diversity by providing insight into each individual's attitudes on organizational
diversity, view ofpersonal dissimilarity, and appreciation of others' differences and likenesses.
In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how the survey results begin to answer
the research questions, researchers utilized methods to combine related survey items into themes.
A total of21 board and 22 staffmembers completed the survey, comprising 75% and 100%
response rates, respectively. The survey asked respondents a series of demographic questions in
order to obtain self-reported personal identification information. Females accounted for 54% of
those surveyed. One respondent indicated having a disability. Most of the individuals surveyed
(79%) identified themselves as white, with 13% identifying as Black/African American and one
person identifying as Hispanic/Latino(a). Three racial/ethnic groups had no representation
among respondents. The majority of respondents were in either the 50-59 or 40-49 age groups
(33% and 25%, respectively). In tern1s of sexual orientation, 81% of respondents identified
themselves as heterosexual and 4% as homosexual.

�Diversity &amp; Inclusion Report

May 2009

In general, the data from the survey showed that CMF's internal stakeholders had positive
perceptions of diversity. Most trustees and employees perceived that CMF values diversity as an
organization. The average respondent also appreciated the positive impact diversity has on
organizational effectiveness. Survey participants indicated that they generally perceived CMF's
climate to be open to diversity. The data for openness to diversity tended to support this, with
stakeholders indicating that they feel that the individuals with whom they work most closely
were open to background, visible, and- to a slightly lesser extent-value differences. Still, there
was variation in perceived values and goals among CMF stakeholders. These variations in
perceptions were often related to demographic divisions, including:
Organizational Role: Board members perceived that the persons with whom they work most
closely were more open to dissimilarity than staff members.

Sex: Female stakeholders perceived that CMF's climate was less open to diversity than
males. Males perceived that team members were more open to individuals with different
educational and experiential backgrounds than females.
Race/Ethnicity: Stakeholders of color perceived themselves to be more actively agents of
change for diversity than White stakeholders. Respondents of color also tended to perceive
themselves as more dissimilar to their team members, both in terms of visible attributes and
of values and motivations that drive their work, than white respondents. While persons of
color perceived lower levels of openness to visible difference, they perceived greater
openness to dissimilarity of work values and motivations among their team members. Lastly,
board and staff members of color showed greater acceptance and appreciation for the
differences and similarities between individuals.

Data suggested that CMF board and staff members were dedicated to the work of promoting
diversity and were already undertaking this in their own lives. On the whole, respondents saw
themselves as agents of change for diversity. Furthermore, the results of the dissimilarity and
openness analysis suggested that CMF's relatively high levels of openness to difference should
prevent the occurrence of conflict (Hohman eta!., 2003) and encourage increased group
involvement (Hohman et a!., 2004). Respondents' overall perceptions of relativistic appreciation
also suggested that trustees and employees should be effective at interacting with those around
them (Fuertes et al., 2000; Miville eta!., 1999). High levels of involvement and interaction should
lead to an organizational culture that is conducive to undertaking this work.

Demographic Survey Results
Executive Summary
UPDATED SINCE THE FEBRUARY 2009 DRAFT

Introduction
The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) has undertaken the Transfonning Michigan
Philanthropy Through Diversity and Inclusion initiative (2008-2013) to improve the
effectiveness and accountability of organized philanthropy in Michigan.
As part of this initiative, in 2008, CMF commissioned the Community Research Institute (CRI)
at the Johnson Center at Grand Valley State University to design and conduct the first
demographic survey of Michigan foundation staffs and trustees. The survey was completed
between May and October 2008.
This survey is the second statewide foundation demographic study to be conducted in the United
States to date. To contribute to what is anticipated to be an increasing number of such surveys,
CMF and CRI coordinated survey design with the Foundation Center which conducted an earlier
study in California. By using a subset of identical questions, CMF and CRI sought to contribute
to and encourage the development of state-by-state data for future use by the philanthropic
sector.
Approximately 650 Michigan foundations were mailed invitations to participate in the survey.
Those 650 included all family foundations with assets of $1 million or more, all independent and
corporate foundations, and community foundations which are members ofCMF. Of those, 89
foundations (13 .7%) responded, including: 32 community foundations, eight corporate
foundations, 23 family foundations, 18 independent foundations, three public foundations, and
five foundations of other types. The responses represent the vast diversity of types, sizes and
locations of Michigan foundations.
Data from the survey form a baseline to be used by CMF and individual foundations for framing
conversations, setting goals for greater diversity within the sector, and for guiding strategies.

Key Findings
Board Chairs and CEOs
The survey asked a series of questions about the demographics of foundation Board Chairs and
the CEOs. The ages of Board Chairs and CEOS cover a wide range. Respondents reported
having Chairs from 35 to 92 years of age and CEOs from 32 to 92 years of age with the averages
being 62 and 56, respectively. Tenure was similarly broad: Chairs had served on their boards-in
any capacity- from one to 51 years, while CEOs had held their positions zero to 32 years (an
average of 14 and 10 years, respectively).
Racially, Board Chairs were predominantly White (79 individuals or 90%). Eight Board Chairs
were Black/African American; one indicated another race, and one did not respond with a race.
Of the CEOs, four were Black/African American; two were Asian/Asian American; 75 were
White; one CEO was another race, while seven respondents marked no race for their CEOs.
There was no representation of Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders or Native Americans/Alaska

�Diversity &amp; Inclusion Report
May 2009

Natives among responding foundations' leadership. There was more racial diversity among
Board Chairs and CEOs in southern parts of Michigan than in northern parts of the state, and
there was greater racial diversity among younger and less tenured CEOs. Very few Board Chairs
or CEOs had a disability. While 7% ofCEOs were non-native English speakers, less than half
that percent of Board Chairs spoke a language other than English as their first language.

Board and Staff
Participating foundations had a total of 1,007 board members (ranging from two to 50 members
on each board). Foundations reported employing 93 individuals at the level of Vice President or
higher (not including CEOs), averaging one per organization. Below the Vice President level,
respondents indicated employing 566 full-time and 89 part-time employees (an average of six
and one per foundation, respectively). The data show that, on average, women made up 40% of
board members. In contrast, the average staff was predominately female, especially below the
Vice President level. There was low minority representation among executive foundation staff
(2.4% Hispanic/Latino/Latina and 6.3% Black/African American, on average) and trustees (1.1%
Hispanic/Latino/Latina and 8.0% Black/African American, on average). The ethnic/racial
composition of fu ll-time staff below the Vice President level was notably similar to that of the
population ofthe state of Michigan. Board members were, on average, older than staff members,
and executives were older than non-executive full-time staff. Part-time staff members below the
Vice President level were more likely to be either younger or older than members in other
employee groups (perhaps a result of employment of individuals new to the workforce and those
transitioning into retirement). Persons with disabilities and non-native English speakers made up
a low percentage of boards and staffs.

Policy and Grantmaking
To determine the prevalence of diversity-related policies, the survey asked foundations to report
on the presence of diversity language in their policies. One-quarter of respondents indicated
having specific goals, policies, or guidelines regarding staff diversity, while 43% of foundations
had policies on board diversity and 20% had executive diversity guidelines. Researchers
compared the demographics of foundations relative to these policies. This analysis showed that
the 43% of foundations with board diversity policies appeared to have more racially/ethnically
diverse boards and the 25% of foundations with staff diversity policies appeared to have more
racially/ethnically diverse full-time staff and less diverse part-time staff than those organizations
without such policies.
Eighteen percent of participants stated that their foundations' missions led to all of their grants
serving specific demographic populations, while 54% indicated that some grants served specific
populations and 28% had no demographic target. When asked which populations their
grantmaking guidelines or mission statements specifically targeted, participants responded with a
variety of answers-the most regularly cited of these was youth and children (37%). There was a
relationship between endowment size and demographic targeting of grantmaking. A smaller
percentage of foundations with medium-sized endowments and grantmaking amounts targeted
their grantmaking at specific demographic groups than both their small and large counterparts.

Youth Advisory Committees
A second, related survey, conducted in winter 2008-2009, asked community foundations (49
respondents, a 57% response rate) with Youth Advisory Committees (YACs) to provide
demographic data on YAC members and advisors. Among respondents, females accounted for
the majority ofYAC members and advisors. On average, more than 80% ofYAC members were

over the age of 15. In terms of race and ethnicity, the average Y AC was approximately 7%
Black/African American, 7% Hispanic/Latino/Latina, 3% Native American, over 80% White,
and 3% multi-racial. Arab/Arab American and Asian/Asian American members comprised a
small percentage ofYAC members. Very few non-native English speakers and youth with
disabilities were Y AC members. Nearly 90% of Y AC advisors were White, while 9% of advisors
were Black/African American. YAC diversity did vary by geographic region-the most racially
and ethnically diverse being in southeast Michigan.

Review of 11 CMF Member Foundations' Policies for
Diversity &amp; Inclusion
Executive Summary
Prepared April 2009
As part ofCMF's Transforming Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion
initiative, CRI (The Community Research Institute at the Johnson Center at Grand Valley State
University) reviewed the policies of foundations participating in the Symposium on Diversity
and Inclusion in Philanthropy: The Michigan Experience co-sponsored by CMF and the
Diversity in Philanthropy Project, March 2-4, 2009 in Detroit. Policies were collected from
11 of the 15 foundations that sent teams to the symposium. These institutions represent a
wide variety of sizes and types of foundations from across the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.
The purpose of this examination was to get a snapshot of the extent to which foundations with
varying levels of explicit commitment to being diverse and inclusive formal ize that commitment
in their policies. More specifically, this exploratory research sought to achieve two objectives: to
determine the extent to which foundations' policies related to diversity and inclusion align with
those found in the literature; and to synthesize the policy elements both present in and absent
from foundation policies. Among the documents provided were organizational bylaws,
employee handbooks, and grantmaking guidelines, to name a few. All of these documents were
analyzed to create a baseline understanding of the role diversity and inclusion plays in each
organization's policies.
Policies are crucial to organizations because they formalize and align practices and convey an
institution's values to internal and external audiences. Policies are not only a means of
complying with laws and regulations; they are also opportunities to articulate how the
organization translates goals and values into action. Policies, written clearly, allow an
organization to have a precise, unified understanding of expectations and standards, and can
provide a means for accountability and transparency (Wilson, 1989).
A thorough literature review revealed that there is no standard methodology for analyzing
policies' incorporation of diversity and inclusion. Discussions with national leaders on
foundation diversity and inclusion- Renee Branch of the Council on Foundations and Lawrence
McGill of the Foundation Center, among others-verified that they knew of no model for
foundation diversity policy analysis. Thus, an original rubric was developed based upon current
practices for incorporating diversity and inclusion into policies, as cited in the literature and used
by other organizations, including the Center for Effective Philanthropy and Philanthropy New
York. This tool was used to ascertain the extent to which foundations' policies align with
current documented practices in areas related to the scope of diversity; governance; human
resource management; programming and operations; engagement and outreach; and plann ing,
monitoring, and evaluation.
Further analysis sought to determine which types of policies related to diversity and inclusion
were present in and absent from provided policy documents. Miles and Hubernmn (1994) point
out that a multi-method approach (i.e. an examination based upon a framework followed by a
more free-form synthesis of themes) is often necessary to strengthen qualitative studies ofthis
type. The methods used in this study for reviewing the policies were modifications of content
analysis. While this approach is most often used to analyze interview and focus group transcripts,

�Diversity &amp; Inclusion Report
May 2009

it can be used in studies which start" .. .from the distribution of perspectives on a certain issue of
process" (Flick, 2009, p.322) and build toward synthesizing findings for a greater understanding.
It was, therefore a rigorous and an appropriate approach to be applied in this effort.

Findings
Each foundation's policies are different, presenting several methods of formalizing practice and
expressing diversity and inclusion. Despite these differences, an analysis of these documents
brought forth several over-arching themes which are discussed below.
General Policies
Most foundations explicitly state policies defining their visions of diversity and inclusion.
Most participating foundations include diversity or inclusion as part of their values, visions, or
goals.
All foundations prohibit harassment b ut vary in the listed characteristics which may be the cause
of harassment. Further, many have specific sexual harassment policies in addition to general
harassment policies.
Few foundations have policies which incorporate language describing the ways in which
communications and decision-making actively include the voices of various stakeholders.

Very few foundations have policies related to planning, monitoring, and evaluating the
implementation of their commitments to diversity and inclusion.
Staff- and Board-related Policies
Policies related to staff diversity and inclusion are more prevalent than those pertaining to
trustees.
A ll foundations have Equal Employment Opportunity policies, but they vary in the characteristics
explicitly protected (many do not list sexual orientation or gender identity) and the aspects of
employment (hiring, training, development, compensation, etc.) opportunity.
Some foundations have broad definitions offamily- such as domestic partnerships (whether
same- or opposite-sex), parents/children of partners, and dependent adults beyond children and
parents- for benefits such as health care and bereavement leave as well as prohibitive policies
like conflict of interest, but most do not.
W hile all foundations have statements of reasonable accommodation for employees w ith
disabilities, few have explicit supporting policies such as evacuation procedures for persons with
limited mobility in the event of an emergency or flexibility in scheduling for individuals whose
disabilities may cause fatigue from working a standard office schedule.
Very few foundations include statements encouraging diversity among their board, committees,
and officers.
No foundation participating in this review has a policy encouraging staff members from groups
which are historically under-represented in management positions to take advantage of
professional development and tuition re imbursement programs.

External Stakeholder-related Policies
Less than half of participant foundations have policies regarding community- and
stakeholder-engagement on diversity and inclusion.
Few participant foundations have policies requiring that their endowments be invested in sources
which espouse similar values of diversity and implement inclusive practices.
Some foundations require their grantees to provide demographic data of their staffs and board,
while others request that applicants supply their internal diversity statement.
Some foundations provide grants specifically to effect positive change in the community related
to diversity and inclusion, but many participants do not explicitly state such program areas.

Memo 3-3 1-09.doc

�Core Operations
Note 1: Additional Member Contributions

The bulk of this category is the $ 150,000 grant from Kellogg. 2009-10 represents the final
year of the current five year commitment.
Note 2: Other Grants

Includes the following:
Skillman Detroit Office Su
Transfer Fatherhood meeting revenue to special grant dollars

$25,000
(2,308)

Note 3: Conference &amp; Meetings Revenue &amp; Expenses

The October 2008 annual conference contributed $139,000 to cover staff time spent on the
conference vs. a budget of$123,000. Total staff time to produce the conference is estimated
at $200,000. The additional contribution is due to attendance exceeding expectations.
Note 4: Investment Income

The projected budget variance is due to the rate of return on the money market account
which has dropped below 1% vs. 5% last year.
Note 5: Wages

The variance from budget is due to the following items.
Director of Corporate Services- position not filled till Nov 2008
Additional time to Philanthropy 3D project
Additional time on Diversity &amp; Inclusiveness project
ECIC Project ending August of2008

$36,000
3,000
7,000
(6,300)

Note 6: Equipment &amp; Furniture

$1,500 of this amount was to replace the board room carpet in Grand Haven. The remaining
balance is due to the purchase of a new car for Rob, which turned out to be a cheaper
alternative to leasing, with his current lease coming to an end.

Memo 3-31-09.doc

�Note 7: Technology

Annual fees ISSI charged to Kresge technology grant
Computer replacements charged to Kresge technology grant
Upgrade printer to network connection not needed

$ 15,000
6,000
3,500

Note 8: Communications/Publications

Due to the state of the economy several of the items noted below were postponed since they
did not directly affect services to members.
The variance from budget is due to the following items:
2 Issues of Tips &amp; Tools for non-members
Delete 1 issue of Memo to Members
Portion of Spring 08 charged to previous year
Member Roster not produced
Professional photographers not hired
Web-Designer, writers and graphic artists not hired
Media relations news service not hired

$2,500
6,100
2,600
1,000
3,000
9,000
2,000

Note 9: Professional Services

The variance from budget is due to legal fees that were less than budget.
Note 10: Gain on Sales of Fixed Assets

Earl ier th is spring the Detroit office suffered water damage which ruined some furniture and
computers. Since all of these items were fully depreciated the insurance proceeds were
booked as a gain. The replacement furn iture was not received until late April, so the costs
will hit in 2009-10. The insurance proceeds should come close to covering the cost of the
furniture.

Memo to:

Melonie Colaianne, Chairperson, and Members of the Board ofTrustees

From:

Rachel Mraz, CMF Trustee and Investment Committee Member and
David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance &amp; Administration

Re:

March 31, 2009 Investment Report

The following Resolution is presented for consideration:
RESOLVED that the March 31, 2009 Investment Report be accepted as presented.
On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committees for the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF), Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV), Learning to
Give (LTG) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment
performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds.
New Business
On May 18,2009, the Investment Committee reviewed and approved the enclosed report.
Since the October 13, 2008, CMF Board meeting, the Investment Committee has
addressed the following items:
After careful analysis the committee moved the majority of the CMF Endowment Pool
Investments into the TIFF Multi Asset Fund. The CMF Executive Committee approved
this recommendation on February 9, 2009. Putting the bulk of the CMF Endowment
funds in the TIFF Multi-Asset Fund, which has had very strong performance numbers
over the last year, has allowed CMF to access investment strategies typically available to
only larger endowment fund s.
The remaining balance of approximately $800,000 on CMF 's $1 million Commonfund
private equity commitment has been left in the standard asset allocation pool.
CMF also holds a $3 million endowment fund for the Learning to Give/LEAGUE project
that is scheduled to be turned over to the LEAGUE by 2010. Due to the entry and exit
fees for the TIFF Multi Asset Fund this endowment fund will remain invested in standard
asset allocation funds that CMF has used in the past.

From:

RE:

CMF &amp; Supporting Organizations March 31, 2009 &amp; 2008 Audit Report

RESOLVED that the CMF &amp; Supporting Organizations March 31, 2009 &amp; 2008 Audit
Report, as recommended by the CMF Audit Committee, be accepted.

On May 18, 2009, the Audit Committee met with the audit staff from Rehmann Robson and
approved the attached audit report.
Differences between Internal Statements and Audited Statements

Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from Kellogg for their additional membership
dues and Skillman for the Detroit office we will have a difference between the internal and
audited statements for CMF Core Operations until both of these grants end. The accounting
rules require multi-year grants to be booked as revenue in the year the grant commitment was
made, even though the revenue supports future year activities.

Kellogg Additional Member Contribution ($750,000
for 2005-06 to 2009-20 10)

2008-09)

For audit report purposes both grants were booked as revenue in 2005-06.

�Combined Statement of Financial Position
Cash
The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in cash held for special projects,
primarily the Kellogg Early Childhood Investment Corporation and Access to Recreation grants.

Investments
The reduction is due to the market loss incurred in 2008-09.

G ra nts Receivable
The decrease from the prior year is due to the following items.

G ra nts Pavable
$1,300,000 of the decrease is due to an outstanding grant due to the Early Childhood Investment
Corporation as of3-31-08 that was paid in 2008-09.

Other Liabilities
The decrease from the prior year is due to the 2008-09 membership dues collected prior to April
1, 2008.

Net Assets - Unrestricted- Undesignated
The accounting rules require that investment losses can not result in temporarily restricted assets
becoming negative, so due to the large losses in 08-09 for the endowment funds, $1,428,476 in
losses were reclassified from temporarily restricted to unrestricted net assets.

$1.3 million of the decrease is due to the ECIC grant that ended in 2008-09. $4 million of the

To the Board of Directors
Council of Michigan Foundations
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Council ofMichigan Foundations
and Supporting Organizations (the "Organization") for the year ended March 31, 2009, and
have issued our report thereon dated May 22, 2009. Professional standards require that we
prov ide you with the following information related to our audit.

Our Responsibility Under Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United States of
America and Government Auditing Standards
As stated in our engagement letter dated April 24, 2009, our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to express an opinion about whether the consolidated financial
statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material
respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U nited States of
America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your
responsibilities.
As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the Organization. Such considerations
were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance
concerning such internal control.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of Organization's compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. However, the objective of our tests was not to provide
an opinion on compliance w ith such provisions.

Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously communicated to
you in our engagement letter and our meeting about planning matters on April 27, 2009.

Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects ofAccounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In
accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the
appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies
used by the Organization are described in Note I to the financial statements. No new accounting
policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year,
except for implementing the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements and FASB Staff Position FAS No. 11 7-1, Endowments of Not-for-Profit
Organizations: Net Asset Classification of Funds Subject to an Enacted Version of the Uniform
Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, and Enhanced Disclosures for All Endowment
Funds. We noted no transactions entered into by the Organization during the year for which
there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. There are no significant transactions that
have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements in a different period than when the
transaction occurred.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements prepared by
management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current
events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly
sensitive because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements and because of the
possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The
most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
•

Management's estimate of the useful lives of depreciable capital assets is based on
the length of time it is believed that those assets will provide some economic benefit
in the future.

•

Management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible receivable balances is
based on past experience and future expectation for collection of various account
balances.

•

Management's allocation of certain costs to program and supporting functions 1s
based on specific criteria applicable to the specific cost being allocated .

•

Management's estimate of the fair value of investments is typically obtained from
outside sources and applied to individual securities within the portfolio.

We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates in determining
that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

�Page 3

Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in perfonning and
completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
The attached schedule summarizes uncorrected misstatements of the consolidated financial
statements. Management has determined that their effects are immaterial, both individually and
in the aggregate, to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. In addition, none of
the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were
material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the consolidated financial statements taken as
a whole.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a
financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction,
that could be significant to the consolidated financial statements or the auditor's report. We are
pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations

We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the attached
management representation letter dated May 22, 2009.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult w ith other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a
consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Organization 's financial
statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those
statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to
determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such
consultations with other accountants.

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Organization's auditors.
However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and
our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Comments and Recommendations
For the Year Ended March 31, 2009

In planning and perfonning our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Council of
Michigan Foundations and Supporting Organizations (the "Organization") as of and for the year
ended March 31, 2009, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, we considered the Organization's internal control over financial reporting
(internal control) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness ofthe Organization's internal control.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process,
or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such
that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity's financial statements
that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will
not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph
and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we
consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Other Matters
Bank Statements
Bank statements are not received directly by an appropriate level of management or other individual
and reviewed prior to routing to the grants manager for reconciliation. Since the grants manager has
access to the general ledger and is primarily responsible for processing accounts receivable, this
represents an incomplete segregation of incompatible duties. Whi le the risks associated with this
issue are partially mitigated by the Vice President of Finance's review of completed bank
reconciliations, and periodic review of fmancial information (including general ledger detail), we
recommend that the Vice President of Finance receive the monthly bank statements unopened for
review prior to submission to the grants manager for reconciliation to the general ledger control
account.

Schedule of Adjustments Passed (SOAP)
For the March 3 1, 2009 Audit

In accordance with the provisions of SAS 89, Audil Adj11stmenrs, we have prepared the following schedule of proposed audit adjustments, which we believe are
immaterial both individually and in the aggregate. Also in accordance wit h SAS 89, we a re providing this schedule to both management and the audit co mmittee to
receive their assurance that they agree that the amounts listed below are not material to the financial statements, either individually or in the aggregate, and do not need

to be recorded.

Re:

Membership Report

The Membership Committee met on May 18, 2009 by conference call pursuant to written notice
duly given. Committee members present in addition to Mr. Colina were Tammy Bailey, Janet
Bauer, Caroline Chambers, Libby Cherin and Betsy Upton Stover. Staff present included
Kimberly Burton, Rob Collier, Jeri Fischer, Susan Howbert and Dave Lindberg.
The following Resolutions are presented for consideration and action.

I. New Members
We are pleased that the following three members have submitted the appropriate membership
information and meet CMF's criteria for membership.
RESOLVED that the following grantmakers be approved for membership:
Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation, Chelsea

Amy Heydlauff, executive director
• Newly formed private foundation from the sale of Chelsea Community Hospital with a
$25 million endowment to make grants to improve the health and well ness of residents of
Chelsea, Manchester, Stockbridge, Grass Lake, Dexter, Gregory and Munith.
Ralph C. Wilson Foundation, Grosse Pointe Farms

• Newly formed family foundation with assets of $1 million; first grants to be made by
December; www.lovelightfoundation.org.
II. Metrics
As a result of the discussion at the last Board Meeting, the Membership Committee is proposing
that four metrics, as incorporated in the following resolution, be approved for use in assessing
our work during the year. These metrics have been developed based on the challenging
economic times we are all facing and an analysis of our current membership.

�Membership Report
May 2009

RESOLVED that the following metrics for Membership be approved:
• 100% of members contacted by volunteers per Retention Campaign
• 100% of members contacted by staff
• Gain of nine members with a projected $29,000 in membership dues
• Loss of fourteen members with a projected loss of $31 ,000 in membership dues

III. Membership Renewals and Retention
Requests for membership renewals have been sent. See the Activity Summary below for data on
renewals.
The Phone Retention Campaign is well underway. A full report on contacts will be available by
the end of June. The purpose of the calls is to thank each member for membership and share the
value we find from being a member of this association - especially in tough economic times.
Volunteers are reaching out to members, finding they often have to leave a message. Comments
range from, "It's so nice to hear from a colleague by phone" to "If we have any needs, we'll be
in touch." A sample contact sheet follows:

· ._..,

Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving.

PROJECT SUMMARY
THE OPPORTUNITY
In a time when foundations are being asked to do more, are subject to ongoing scrutiny and threats of government
regulation, philanthropy needs to define its value, share stories of impact and equip influential champions.
Research conducted in 2006 by PAl indicates that foundations are isolated from influential Americans- the 12% of
adults engaged as executives or board members in civic and community organizations. More than 60% of these
Americans feel uninformed about the work of foundations and only 15% can give an example of foundation i mpact on
their community. Further compounding the problem is the way foundations are perceived and described by the
media. According to PAl, 98.6% of media coverage about foundations between 1990 and 2004- nearly 40,000 stories
-was transactional in nature, focused on grants awarded and money exchanged versus the benefits or impact of
foundation activity.
Michigan's philanthropic sector is uniquely positioned to respond to this opportunity through the 3D project because
of its well networked members; history of partnering with the public, private and non-profit sectors and higher
education to leverage change; engagement in policy reform supported by CMF's Public Policy Committee and Fellow
and the Office of Foundation Liaison; and innovative communications about its work.

VISION, GOAL &amp; OBJECTIVES
Vision: For influentia l leaders in Michigan's public, private and nonprofit sectors and higher education to appreciate
the value of and seek partnerships with foundations to solve critical issues in our state.

Goal: To design and test a new model for communicating foundations' unique value to influential leaders.
Objectives:
Engage foundation trustees- influential leaders themselves- as champions
Test a new process for deploying key messages to influentials- about foundations' unique contributions and
through CMF and participating foundations' trustees and other communications
Develop a model for on-going use by CMF and member foundations

ROLE OF PARTICIPATING FOUNDATIONS
CMF will serve as the lead 3D project manager and an active participant in the process working alongside each
partner foundation. To start, each foundation will select a senior staff member to serve as a project liaison to CMF.
From there, project liaisons will participate by:
Attending Meetings
Orientation Webinar
Briefing for CEOs and project liaisons on results of trustee interviews
Workshop to refine message framework and messages and plan for use of messages by all partners
Webinar training on best practices in using the message framework and messages
Post-pilot interview and debriefing meeting to refine model for on-going use

�Recruiting, Training &amp; Supporting Two Trustees

Recruit 2 foundation trustees (residents of M l) to: (1) participate in a pre and a post-pilot interview about where,
when and how they talk about the foundations' work with influential leaders in their professional and social
networks; and (2) use 3D messages in conversations with such influentials
Help CMF as needed in scheduling trustee interviews
Train, support and periodically contact trustees regarding their experiences using the messages
Enter brief reports of trustee and foundation activities/experiences in on line tracker
Providing Information &amp; Stories of Impact

Complete online survey about foundations' grantmaking and stories of impact
Identify ways foundation will use messages in its communications

CMF ROLE
In addition to project management, actively participating in the project and supporting project liaisons, CMF will also:
Use messages in communications (print, on-line, web and op eds, etc.) targeted to influential leaders
Identify speaking/interview opportunities for participating foundation CEOs, trustees and other senior leaders to
reach influentia ls (ex. Detroit Chamber conference)
Prepare its first State of Philanthropy Report, targeted to influential leaders for publication in spring 2010
Share model and experiences w ith foundation communications leaders, regional associations and other sector
leaders through presentations and reports
Develop a plan for maintaining t he use of common messages after 3D is completed
