The overall budget totals $47.1 billion and includes $7.9 bill ion in general fund spending, $1 1 billion from the School Aid Fund and includes $20.1 billion in federal revenue. The budget assumes that Michigan will receive $722 million in new federal Medical Assistance money for the Fiscal Year 201 1 budge t. Nearly three-fourths of the federa l funds are contingent on President Obama's budget recommendations being approved by Congress. Ms. Granholm's proposal is to lower the state sales tax from 6 percent to 5.5 percent, add a new sales tax on certain services and phase out the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) surcharge by 2012. She also proposes a tax on physicians to raise money for Medicaid and on rental cars to fund tourism promotion. "This budget reflects the critical changes we must make in state government: cut spending, attack the state's structural deficit, reform government and restructure our tax system," said the Governor. "Spending cuts alone cannot create the economic growth and jobs that Michigan needs. We must continue to invest in things most critical to attracting business investment and my budget makes those important investments." The restructured sales tax would drop the rate to 5.5 percent while expanding it to cover all consumer services, with exclusions for health care and social assistance, education, new construction, real estate and insurance commissions and service directly connected to business operations. Her proposal includes cutting the MBT surcharge in half in 20 I I and phasing it out completely in 2012. She also proposes two year (2012 and 2013) phased reductions in the MBT's gross receipts tax rate from 0.8 to 0.6 percent. Other highlights of her budget proposals include: · Funding for public schools, early childhood education and community colleges and universities all maintained at current levels. · The Michigan Promise scholarship is restored as a $4,000 tax c redit available to any student who completes a degree and works for one year in Michigan. · The 21 " Century Jobs Fund is maintained at $75 million. · Additional federal funding to provide for the increasing number of citizens eligible for the food assistance program. · $39 million for additional improvements in the child welfare system. · A permanent funding source for tourism promotion, including the Pure Michigan advertising campaign, through a new rental car tax. · Revenue sharing payments to cities, villages and townships are maintained at fiscal year 20 I 0 levels and additional fu nding to restore county revenue-sharing payments to the 38 eligible counties. The budget cuts $ 140 million from the Corrections budget through reducing the prisoner population and closure of up to five more facilities. House and Senate Appropriations Committee are expected to start subcommittee meetings next week to start a detailed look at the proposals. The Governor continues her request for the legislature to have the budget proposal completed and sent to her for enactment by July l. The fisca l year begins October I. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is supported by grants from t he Packard Foundation, PAl, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers. It is a partnership between CMF and 14 member foundations, each represented by a staff liaison and one or two trustees. 30 Objectives: 1. Engage foundation trustees - influential leaders themselves - as champions 2. Test a new process for deploying key messages to influentials - foundations' unique value - t hrough t rustees, foundation partners and CMF 3. Develop a model for o n-going use by CMF and member fou ndat ions Partner Foundations: Senior staff and 27 trustees of 14 partner foundat ions are actively participating. Their level of engagement is high. In fact, several members have also engaged all of their trustees in the project.

Becky No ricks from CM F posted a blog on the Communications Network site which quoted Joe Stewart and that posting became the basis for this story. Good work! HuffPost Social News HUFFINGTON POST Jane Wales Vice President, Philanthropy and Society of the Aspen Institute Posted: January 27, 2010 08:28PM 8 10 Become a Fan Get Email Alerts Bloggers' Index Enlisting Trustees as Communicators: A New Model for Foundation Communications? Might trustees be the solution to the woeful lack of knowledge civically engaged Americans have about foundations? That's the hypothesis of an experiment underway from the Philanthropy Awareness Init iative. PAl is the foundation-f unded organization that has reported in study after study that very few engaged Americans, those who represent the 12 percent of the adult population active in their communities as civic or business leaders, could cite even one examp le of a foundation benefit ing its community or addressing commun ity concerns. As I noted in a post about PAl's latest survey, it is the cultu re of private foundations to shun the spotlight and direct attention to the issues they advance or the grantees they support. This notion is seconded in another recent survey, this one from the Council of M ichigan Foundations. According to t his survey, foundation trustees tend to focus on their role as investing, growing and distributing foundation resources, not in communicating w ith other non-foundation leaders. �But what if that changed? Building on its survey, the Council teamed up with PAl to launch a pilot project with 14 members through which they have offered "message training" to trustees, focused on the value of foundations, well beyond their grant-making role. The goal is to encourage trustees to engage peers in their personal and professional networks-- in essence, enlisting trustees as strategic foundation communicators. In a Jan. 20 post for the Communications Network blog, the Council's Rebecca Noricks offered details about t his Philanthropy 3-D-Michigan (3D) pilot, noting that its goal is to develop a new communications model for the field. It has the potential to radically change traditional foundation communications and the heavy reliance on press releases about grants, she said, as well as to boost understanding about the work of foundations. The organization is currently testing and evaluating the pilot, with plans to release a report this spring on its progress and adapt it for use among grantmaking affinity groups in Indiana and Wisconsin. Early comments from participants suggest the pilot is on to something. Noricks quotes Joseph M . Stewart, chair of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, saying that trustees shou ld be "educating others to the important role that foundations play in society today and letting other leaders from other sectors know we want to work with them. Together we can make a difference. Better communication methods and techniques is one way that can be achieved." Given the renewed interest in collaboration across sectors, Stewart makes an important point. Leaders throughout society need to know that foundations are transparent, open and willing partners. Foundation trustees are often employed by or have close ties with for-profit or nonprofit organizations. There could be substantial, long-term payoffs if trustees were to directly talk to others in their networks about foundation missions, programs and successes. Foundation leaders worry t hat the story of philanthropy is not well told. Awareness of PAl's project may spur some to discuss the idea with their trustees now. Joanne K.

The revised Core Staff Organizational Chart is referenced in the memo that immediately follows this memo. Draft Plan of Work Priorities document. The following Resolution is proposed for your consideration and action. RESOLVED that the Draft Plan of Work Priorities, Strategies and Tactics FY 2010-2011 be adopted as the core staff (planning document for the next fiscal year. This document first focuses our attention on our primary stakeholder- our members -through four core strategies. Second, it sets the stage for a Membership Recruitment Campaign -an activity that has not been undertaken in the last decade. The Recruitment Campaign Metrics are those based on the budget and will be changed after the market research is completed for the May Board Meeting. Third, it adds Peer Learning as a value because we learned from the Board at the February 1 Special Planning Session that peer learning is an activity that defines our core and stretches across all of the activities we do. Fourth, it offers a number of tactics that will help build our organizational capacity to accomplish the priorities of Engagement & Retention and Recruitment Campaign. These tactics include the deployment of additional resources that will better help us make our case for membership to family foundations. Finally, this document highlights priorities but is not all inclusive- we do a lot more. Draft CMF's Core This draft document builds on the work we all did with consultants Kito Cetrulo and Professor Lynn Wooten at the February 1 Special Board Planning Session. Kito has found from her research and discussions with CMF trustees and staff that community, leadership and knowledge are core issues. Lynn shared the concept of Centers of Excellence in her presentation, which we have called Centers of Expertise here. This document is one effort at showing how the traditional constituent based silos can be repositioned to enrich the membership experience for all members. I hope that this document will be a useful aid as we work with Kito at the Board Meeting. �#f4'A~ Council of .... ftr ~i~~1a~?ons Srrvittgg/f1ntma<trJ.Ad..,ndnggiving FINAL DRAFT PLAN OF WORK PRIORITIES, STRATEGIES & TACTICS FV 2010-2011 Values: Ethical & Servan t Leadership, Re lationships, Knowledge, Excellence, Diversity & Inclusion, Peer Learning Strategy 4 Coordmate a Central V01ce for Orgamzed M1ch1gan Philanthropy foundations from all member categories in Foundations on the Hill (FOTH), Nonprofit Day & regional meetings with new state legislators/Nonprofit Caucus Have members join Rob in presenting testimony in Lansing to appropriate House and Senate Committees Offer two Government Relations Committee Webinars on state and national action goals Work with co-chairs of Government Relations Committee on social media tool (i.e .blog) to engage next generation and EPIP members Provide scholarship incentives to nonmembers to participate in FOTH, and Nonprofit Day Promote legislative accomplishments with the help of legislators in recruitment campaign camp" for small/unstaffed family foundations using ESS curriculum Expand and pilot Annual Conference peer networking opportunities (i .e. trustees only) Engage members as hosts for regional educational/networking events Expand social media efforts to connect existing and next generation members Pilot innovative programs with national partners like Harvard, GrantCraft, BoardSource, GEO, etc Provide complimentary educational resources to unstaffed foundations and corporate giving programs Offer scholarships to incentivize participation in peer learning activities (i.e . community foundation Donor advised funds w/ family foundations) Pilot a "Welcome Wagon" and use experienced members as peer mentors Strengthen market segmentation data in CMF member database for retention/recruitment efforts Complete message development with consultants on value of CMF membership Allocate additional staff resources to family/private philanthropy Have technology director work with targeted family foundations on development of hosted web sites Increase functionality of web as a hub for peer learning opportunities Formalize and document monetary value of relationships with partners (i .e.

I. Governance Committee Committee Chair Carol Goss presented the slate of officers for approval: Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the following individuals be elected to the offices as specified for a one-year term effective November 5, 2009. • Chairperson - Melonie B. Colaianne, President, MASCO Corporation Foundation • Vice Chair Community Foundations- Brenda Hunt, President, Battle Creek Community Foundation • Vice Chair Family Philanthropy - David Sebastian, President, Sebastian Foundation • Vice Chair Corporate Philanthropy - Caroline E. Chambers, President, Comerica Charitable Foundation • Secretary - John Colina, President, Colina Foundation • Treasurer- Phil Peters, Vice President Administration, C.S. Mott Foundation • President- Robert S. Collier Mr. Collier noted that, while continuing to serve as Trustees, Libby Cherin, Vice Chair Community Foundations, and Betsy Upton Stover, Vice Chair Family Philanthropy, were stepping down after more than four years each as Officers, and with Board approval presented them with a token of appreciation. Ms. Goss introduced the Trustee Job Description (a copy is attached to these Minutes) that the Governance Committee has recommended for approval. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Trustee job description be adopted as amended in #5, " Approve an annual budget, including a membership dues schedule, which provides the financial resources necessary to achieve the plan of work, and r eview the annual audit." Ms. Goss noted the Committee has held several discussions on the issue of changing the terms of Board service and decided to advance this issue to the Board without complete consensus by all Committee members. She noted that a review of the policies of other regional associations of grantmakers determined that the general rule is 2 three-year terms versus 3 three-year terms. She added that the proposed changes would allow a trustee serving as an officer to serve an additional two years, however the Bylaws would now have a cap of four 1 year terms for all officers except the President and Chairperson. The discussion by Trustees covered issues, including: two-year terms would result in more turnover on the Board and put more work on the staff; and if six years is enough time to prepare for being an officer. It was noted that Board members that rotate offCMF's Board are appointed to serve on the Advisory Cabinet which meets annually but could meet more often if needed. The term limits will be effective at the next Annual Members' Meeting with the Class of2013. Upon motion duly made, supported and approved with 17 trustees in favor and three trustees opposed, it was RESOLVED that the following changes be made to the CMF bylaws. �Board Meeting Minutes November 5, 2009 Page4 ARTICLE III.

II. Diversity and Inclusion Committee Ms. Goss introduced Vicki Rosenberg and Kimberly Burton to highlight the work of the Transforming Michigan Philanthropy Through Diversity and Inclusion (TMP) project. Ms. Rosenberg reviewed the changes to the ultimate goal, four objectives and proposed vision. She pointed out four significant changes made in response to the 27 key stakeholder interviews (including trustees and staff of members) conducted by consultant Katherine Pease: (1) Goal - removing the word "accountability" in response to fami ly foundation concerns that this word might suggest becoming diverse and inclusive is regulated vs. voluntary; (2) Objective 1 -emphasizing CMF's commitment to members by replacing the word "regional" with "membership" and eliminating "model" and "resources to national field"; (3) Objective 2 - adding the word "voluntary" in response to concerns raised primarily by family foundations; (4) emphasizing "social equity" in the definition vs. in the objectives . Ms. Burton reviewed the key ideas in the new, unified definition of diversity, inclusion and equity including the commitment to overcoming current and historic systemic barriers which conveys the commitment to equity, a commitment strongly supported by key stakeholders. In concluding the report, Ms. Goss stated that CMF is setting the pace for the country with this exciting project. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the following changes to the goal, four objectives and a proposed vision and unified definition of diversity and inclusion for the Transforming Michigan Philanthropy Through Diversity and Inclusion Initiative be adopted as amended.

Advancing giving. Board of Trustees Minutes of Special Planning Meeting February 1, 2010 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. MASCO Corporation Foundation The Special Planning Meeting of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) Board of Trustees was held at the MASCO Corporation Foundation on Monday, February I, 2010 pursuant to written notice duly given. Chairperson Melanie Colaianne called the meeting to order at I 0: I 0 a.m. Trustees, officers and special guests present in addition to Chairperson Colaianne: Attendees: Susan Broman Caroline Chambers Andrea Cole John Colina Rob Collier Tom Cook Brenda Hunt Shirley Kaigler Wes Maurer (via phone) Mark Morley Carol Paine-McGovern Phillip Peters Tom Porter Tessa Robertson David Sebastian Sterling Speirn Betsy Upton Stover Dan Wyant Special Guests: Kito Cetrulo, president, Esplanade Consulting, Inc (via phone) Professor Lynn Wooten, University of Michigan, Ross School of Business CMF Staff: Kimberly Burton, Vice President of Corporate Services and D irector of Diversity and Inclusive Practices Sue Coddington, Executive Assistant to the President Mike Goorhouse, Program Associate Community Foundations Susan Howbert, Director, Family Philanthropy David Lindberg, Vice President, Finance & Administration Donnell Mersereau, Director, Community Foundations Becky Noricks, Communications Manager Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President, Education, Communications & External Relations Rob Collier welcomed Trustees and introduced the agenda. Melanie brought the meeting to order and selfintroductions were made in response to the question, share how you fi rst got involved in philanthropy. I. How Do W e Communicate Our Value? Vicki Rosenberg introduced faci litator Kito Cetrulo who joined the meeting via Web Ex at I 0:35am. She asked the Trustees to think about the aspirational qualities of membership and the barriers to communicating this. Ms. Cetrulo lead the Board in two exercises, the first to describe one adjective you hope people associate with CMF and the responses included: Advocate, Effective, Essential (2), Ethical, Excellent, Expert, Helpful (2), Impact, Inclusive, Invaluable, Leader/ Leadership (3), Professional, Responsive, Synergy, and Unity. Trustees then identified one adjective you hope people do not associate with CMF which included: Biased, Bureaucracy, Elitist (5), Exclusionary/Exclusive (3), Incompetent, Ineffective (4), Irrelevant (3), Unimportant/irrelevant, Unresponsive, and Unworthy. �Minutes of Febmary I, 20 I0 Page 2 Kito reported that CMF's values were not shared during the pre-assignment survey/interviews. Commenting that CMF has many types of members and that balance is important, she asked: What is it you choose to share with members? What is it about membership that is most appealing? She assigned small breakout groups to answer two questions: identify the most compelling shared membership attribute of CMF, the best reason to be a member, and identify the positive story association with CMF having such a varied and complex membership. The summary of responses is inc luded in the notes from the Meeting maintained in the Board file at CMF. A copy of Ms. Cetrulo's power point slides with a membership mosaic are attached to these Minutes. Ms. Cetrulo exited the meeting at II :30 a.m. II. Top Ten Issues Impacting CMF in 2010-11 & Follow-up issues to Ms. Cetrulo's discussion Noting that the economy is a major impact on members and CMF, Rob Collier led a discussion on issues that affect our members that affect CMF. Comments from Trustees included: • What are the needs/wants as members? To experience the bene-tits of the diverse membership. • How do we retain and increase revenue in a declining economy? • What is the most efficient way to organize ourselves? What is the right structure? • Need Balanced Organization - find some kind of balance amidst CMF's complexity • Define membership - are we going to go broader than confined constituent groups? How do we get rid of the silos while sti ll strengthening the value proposition within member categories? • Start with significance and effectiveness, who we want to be and what we want to do? The process could be: Network of Members ~ Collaboration ~ Advocacy ~ Best Practices • Need to move from "nice to have" service to "being essential". Need to be the top of the list for members and these are the de liverables. In sharing the potential for growth of members - especially family foundations , he asked Becky Noricks to review a new tool prepared for the Meeting- an analysis of Members Engagement Levels. Ms. No ricks noted that most of the work CMF needs to do is in the medium to low engagement block. III. Priorities & Metrics for 2010-11 Kimberly Burton introduced Professor Lynn Wooten, Clinical Associate Professor of Strategy and Management at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. She noted Lynn is the first official CMF Scholar in Residence for the Diversity and Inclusion Initiative. Professor Wooten introduced the Strategic Cafe, a copy of which is attached and outlined that the Agenda for the Cafe is to co-create Strategic Knowledge for CMF that will result in priorities aligned with CMF's mission and value proposition, and metrics linked to the priorities. Sharing the ingredients that make an organization excellent, she asked the Trustees to use their small breakout groups to come up with one " best of the best" for-profit company and one nonprofit and why. A discussion of the Trustees produced the following chart of our internal focus {left side) and external focus (right side). �Minutes of Febmary I, 20 I0 Page 3 Internal External A review of the current CMF Vision, Mission and Values, resulted in comments discussing that the vision is too internal focused and not clear on what it means for the foundation community. There was concern about the value of servant leadership and its relationship to advocacy. The question was posed, is the vision about the members or what we want to achieve? Comments in response to the question- what is our passion for philanthropy and CMF, included: • Problem solving • Educating • Service • Quality • Serving members • M ichigan In response to the question, what is and how do we leverage our " Positive Core", there was consensus that at CMF's core is "strengthening philanthropy in Michigan through relationships and relevant knowledge." D iscussion on the context of what CMF does focused on the tension of being asked to do more with less, and shifting to the next generation. In response to the question how do you create value, responses included: • Member Engagement • Personal Re lationships and Networks • Members consistently say that the top three reasons they belong to CMF are for the networking, advocacy and education. The Board of Trustees then brainstormed ideas on the priorities of membership retention, membership recruitment and organizational capacity. There was consensus that the membership experience is paramount and that CMF needs to be: • High tech with personal touch • Calling every member every year to thank them • Michigan based and focused but globally connected �Minutes of February I, 20 I0 Page 4 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • A knowledge leader Creating and expanding opportunities for people to engage Playing a facilitator role (bridge builder, intermediary) Engaging members to speak for different events Expanding peer learning opportunities Hosting websites for small foundations Consider the timing of events - volunteer trustees do work Let members see where the dollars are going Be proactive in addressing members needs Identify market segments in the recruitment of new members Have mentoring programs for new trustees and staff Re-examine membership criteria Have a story that presents a crystal clear mission Be inclusive and welcoming to a ll Make sure we can deliver to all members we are trying to retain and recruit Conduct market research - just surveying the engaged members is not enough Rob Collier noted that the proposed budget does include funds to support non members' participation in member events. In fac ilitating the conversation on metrics, he asked for suggestions that included: • Engagement is just as important as retention • Define market segments with greatest opportunities • Determine how to implement member recruitment/retention work better, such as how many calls did it take? What did we learn? • Who do you want to retain and a number? Case by case basis for the first year. Who did not stay and why? • • • • • Have some metrics to tty to create engagements with existing members, such as assign five tn.1stees to seek out members at the Annual Conference Target 3 to 5 community foundations to partner in recruiting their donor advised funds Identify trustees to meet w ith legislators and a small group of members Promote CMF's position as a go to organization to pilot programs with national infrastructure programs, like GrantCraft and GEO. Build on early success of social media tools like twitter and pick up of CMF stories by national media Next Steps In discussing next steps, Collier commented that the Trustees will receive Minutes and notes from the Special Planning Meeting, along with plans to continue to discussion at the February 24 regular winter Board meeting. Trustees and Chairperson Colaianne noted that the challenge is to be strategic, focus and prioritize and develop stories we can each tell. Collier invited Trustees to email him with any follow-up suggestions for keeping this p lanning momentum going. There being no further business to come before the Board, Chair Colaianne adjourned the special planning meeting at 3:00p.m. Melanie B. Colaianne, Chair RobertS.

The changes are a result of: our Special Planning Session on February I ; recommendations from the Family Foundation Trustees shared at our November Board Meeting; recognition of service by employees to CMF and the retirement of Jeri Fischer after 27 years of service. In the front pocket is a revised organizational chart to reflect these changes. Dave and I have reviewed all position titles to organize a classification system that has the potential to offer a career ladder. As the chart indicates- positions will move from Associate to Coordinator to Director to Vice President. We have decided to not use position titles that include Representative and Specialist. As a result of this realignment, we have the following new position titles. Donnell Mersereau and Susan Howbert each will now be a Vice President Becky Noricks will now be Communications Director Barb Dryer will now serve as Membership and Infonnation Services Coordinator assuming many of the membership activities perfonned by Jeri. Laura TerHaar will now be Accounting Coordinator Mary Trimbach will now be Data Systems Coordinator Tammie TenBroeke will now be Human Relations Coordinator We have created a new position- Private Foundations Coordinator and Grants Managerthat has been posted internally and Mike Goorhouse has expressed interest in this position. This position will serve family and independent foundation primarily on the west side of the state and work with Susan Howbert on regional activities statewide on at least a half-time basis. If Mike moves to this position, we will have an opening at the Program Associate level for the position he currently occupies. In addition to this new Position, we have created a half-time Project Coordinator to assist Susan Howbert. This means we will be adding the equivalent of a full time person to add more focus to our largest membership group- the private family foundations. In addition, we have added a part-time communications associate to assist Becky Noricks and need to find a new part time Project Coordinator to assist Kimberly Burton. As the budget reflects, we have adjusted several salaries to reflect these changes in position assignments. These salary adjustments are in keeping with the Mercer Compensation study completed for CMF in August 2007. Finally, I have changed Dave Lindberg's title to Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to better reflect the Resolution that the Board passed in May 2007 making him the immediate successor should something happen to me. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With her leadership we will be continuing our Board Development work - a key activity of Objective One of TMP - Become a Diverse and Inclusive Membership Association. We are excited that after the Board Meeting, Lynn will be joining Family Foundation Trustees to pilot a Focus Group on Inclusion for family foundations. This memo provides a brief update on progress since the February Board Meeting. Attachment A is a summary of our 20 I 0 Priorities. We want to especially note the launch of the Peer Action Learning Network and thank our members who have agreed to be the first learning group - the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, the Kalamazoo Community Foundation, the Battle Creek Community Foundation, and the Ruth Mott Fund. We are pleased that MNA and CMF both have teams in the Peer Action Learning Network. As Attachment B confinns, this is an incredible commitment of time, and there was great energy at the Opening Seminar on April 19. We also want to note that on May 10, a Diversity and Inclusion Workshop was held for Advisors of Community Foundation Youth Advisory Councils and 34 attended - greatly exceeding our expectations. The Toolkit developed for this meeting is very thorough and will be useful to the community foundation youth philanthropy movement nationwide. We are confident that the Board's goal for TMP, approved at the November 2009 Board meeting, to "Increase the effectiveness of organized philanthropy in Michigan" is well underway and appreciate the ongoing support from the Arcus, C.S. Mott, Kresge, Skillman and Kellogg Foundations. CMF Trustee Sterling Speirn has agreed to serve as co-chair ofthe TMP Advisory Committee with Chair Carol Goss, Renee Branch, director of diversity and inclusive practices at COF is a new member. Please note the copy of Career Pathways from COF in the back pocket of the Board book. Kimberly and Vicki co-lead TMP. Kimberly manages activities related to objectives 1 and 4 as well as serving as main contact for the Forum for African American Philanthropy; Vicki manages objectives 2 and 3 as well as serving as main contact to the Advisory Committee and evaluation team. Both are engaged nationally with partners like BoardSource, the Association of Black Foundation Executives, COF, and the D5 Coalition of foundations and associations that Sterling Speirn co-chairs to advance the work started by the Diversity in Philanthropy Project. A working draft of Foundations Five Years from Now is also included in the back pocket of the Board book. �CMF Council of TRANSFORMING Michi an Michi9an Philanthropy Foun~ations rhmugh Diversity & Inclusion Serving grantmakers.

He was able to connect to partners and gamer support for the center. Christian Velasquez, Dow Coming Foundation: When new ED came on board, went to the CMF annual conference and quickly built a network. Melanie Colaianne, MASCO Corporation Foundation, also cited CMF convenings as a way to engage colleagues, in a non-competitive environment, and engage each other in peer learning or in collaborative projects. CMF has provided corporate funders a safe space, away from the competitive corporate culture, to think about their work, network, and share with friends. Caroline Chambers, Comerica Charitable Foundation, mentioned that the CMF environment did away with the isolation of what is common in the corporate sector. They are learning to support each other and break traditional barriers. Leadership Susan Broman, Steelcase Foundation: The Office of the Foundation Liaison is the protector of foundations from state government. OFL works to educate state policy makers on the role of organized philanthropy, that is it more than an avenue for money to support their projects. The location in the governor's office is important. OFL will be helpful in the turnover in Lansing in 2010, due to term limits. OFL protects foundation interests; it's a leadership umbrella for sector advocacy. With the corporate funder lens, Susan also mentioned the analogy of comparing OFL as a proctor of corporate philanthropy from government, just as the corporation funds lobbying work to protect the company's interests-most funders don't make that connection. Phil Peters, C.S. Mott Foundation: Mott used CMF to push/advocate for important legislation. E.g., CMF played a critical role in the payout discussion. Mott funded the initial study, hired Cambridge, and use CMF as the advocacy am1. CMF's work on the excise tax legislation is another good, recent example. CMF is a key player in informing legislature and lobbying efforts. And, it benefits all foundations. Smaller foundations may not realize the role the CMF plays, and how its advocacy is critical to everyone. CMF is protecting everyone. �Knowledge Mark Morley, Morley Foundation: CMF encouraged and helped organize a family retreat with a facilitator for the Morley Foundation trustees regarding board governance. It gave trustees a better idea of an operating board. Now, there is more engagement among trustees. They investigate grantees, participate in site visits, and create budgets-things they had not previously done. Additionally, Mark found the CMF conference to be helpful. He appreciated the convening of folks from different backgrounds sharing grant stories. The peer learning is important to his work. (Last example can also be applied to Community.) Christian Velasquez, Dow Coming Foundation: Rob met with Dow Coming's new executive director when she joined Dow, re-engaging the foundation. She learning of new opportunities afforded to her via CMF. e.g., the ED participated in a leadership training course and saved money via CMF discount. That training alone justified CMF's membership financially. And, as a re-engaged foundation, they have become more aware of other opportunities provided by their membership. Chris stressed the importance of the fiscal benefit, especially justifying the CMF membership as a corporate foundation. It just makes fiscal sense. Caroline Chambers, Comerica Charitable Foundation: Access to training via the CMF membership was also important to her. Through CMF she had access, at a discount, to Boston College's Center for Corporate Citizenship in which she became certified as a corporate citizen (not sure if right language re: certification). This certification is very important among corporate funders. She likened it to a "badge of honor." This has been very beneficial to her, professionally. MIKE GOORHOUSE' S NOTES Original Small Group (Tom Cook, Melonie Colaianne, and Andrea Cole) Community Without CMF as a convener, Melonie wouldn' t even be talking to other corporate foundations (since corporations are so competitive). CMF's role as a convener has led to some co-sponsorships by corporations. Be Ready by Five group of family foundations built relationships with each other. These relationships endured for a long time after the project was "done" Andrea told a story about how the Detroit area health funders were convened by CMF for a meeting that introduced them to how they could leverage federal dollars for health issues. None of these foundations would have even known they could leverage federal dollars without that meeting. �Leadership Foundations on the Hill exposed Melonie to more significant national issues and she learned the impact legislation has on the day to day work of the foundation CMF gave Tom the opportunity to connect with professionals when he wouldn't normally have pursued those connections. (examples included Grant Craft and GEO) Anyone could go to Washington by themselves and talk to legislators, but the power of numbers coordinated by CMF is what makes an impact Knowledge Annual Conference Tom Cook mentioned a story about how Susan spent a weekend with his family when they jumped from $1.5 million to $ 10 million in assets. She helped them develop a mission statement, draft new documents, etc. Andrea shared a story about how the Ruth Mott Foundation hired a new CFO who wasn't familiar with philanthropy. CMF sent that person to Andrea who spent time with them and walked them through the various resources that were available. CMF played the connector role. Family Foundation Breakout (Tom Cook, Tom Porter, Peg Thompson, Carol PaineMcGovem, Mark Morley) Community **Be Ready by Five coalition was overwhelming in its nomination as a top story regarding CMF. It was unique and it was a tremendous learning experience. The relationships from that group still exist today. Leadership *CMF organized foundations to respond to an opportunity to purchase 400,000 acres of land in the U.P. in partnership with the Nature Conservancy. This project was much too big for one foundation to tackle, but thanks to CMF philanthropy, was able to collectively respond to save the land. Knowledge *CMF convinced the Morley's to do an annual family retreat in order to decide the direction of the foundation. This move, coupled with encouragement from CMF to have a governance committee, has really turned the foundation from a kitchen table organization to a well operated foundation. See Tom Cook's story above about their transition from $1.5 million to $1 0 million *Through CMF, the Morley foundation learned about the idea of the trustee matching gifts which was an excellent improvement for the foundation. �BECKY NORICKS'S NOTES Group: Margaret (Peggy) Thompson, trustee, Harry A. and Margaret D. Towsley Foundation; Christian Velasquez, trustee, Dow Corning Foundation and Midland Area Community Foundation; John Colina, President, Colina Foundation Community John - Early Childhood Funders/Be Ready by Five As a small foundation, it was really valuable to come together with other small foundations on a grass roots effort for southern Wayne County. Without this effort, the Early Childhood Investment Corporation would never have gotten off the ground . Peggy- At the Family Foundations Retreat in 2008, her family participated in a team building activity about different generations. It was eye opening for her and her family members about how different generations in their family were different and it was through a casual and social activity like the retreat that really helped them understand the things they might need to overcome or do to work differently together as different generations in the family - for the family itself and the foundation. Chris - His first engagement with CMF was through the Early Childhood Funders group. What he appreciated was how foundations of all types came together, some with bigger pockets and some with smaller, and worked on solutions. CMF hosted and facilitated that process. Leadership Peggy- Nature Conservancy work in the Upper Peninsula where CMF gathered representatives from foundations of all sizes and types to get together to purchase and conserve such a large piece of land in the U.P. As a result of the collaboration between the state and foundations, her foundation gave away two of the largest grants they ever have for the land conservation in the U.P. Chris- I attended a CMF Foundations on the Hill event after being a trustee at the Midland Area Community Foundation for 3 years. Attending the trip to Washington made me aware of one of the biggest legislative issues that could affect my community foundation- the IRA Charitable Rollover and how it could affect our donor advised funds. As a result of this legislation being passed, our foundation received two of the largest gifts ever. I would not have been as deeply aware of the IRA Rollover if it hadn't been for CMF. And, the trip opened my eyes about the importance of engaging in advocacy in my role as trustee. Knowledge John- CMF helped my family work through succession planning and including the next generation. We realized in talking with our children that if we wanted to keep them involved with the foundation, we had to include their spouses as well. CMF events and structured time for conversations helped us have those important conversations. �Community Foundation Group: Shirley Kaigler, trustee, Southfield Community Foundation; Tessa Robertson, trustee, Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation; Wes Maurer, trustee, Mackinac Island Community Foundations NOTE: This group is full of trustees only and new trustees -for improved stories, we should talk to Donnell Mersereau at CMF - dmersereau@michiganfoundations.org Community Power of challenge grants for community foundations over the years from Kellogg and now Kresge (College Access) Leadership Advocacy work on IRA Charitable Rollover and accompanying tools developed for working with donors. Knowledge Importance of on-site assistance from Pete Christ on Mackinac Island. CMF always makes technical assistance for smaller community foundations more accessible because trustees can't always make it to downstate community foundation programs or the annual conference. VICKI ROSENBERG'S NOTES Group: Tom Porter, President, Porter Family Foundation; Tessa Robertson, trustee, Ann Arbor Community Foundation; Caroline Chambers, president, Comerica Charitable Foundation; Wes Maurer, trustee, Mackinac Island Community Foundation, Carol PaineMcGovern, President, Paine Family Foundation Community Carol - Sharing your best grants with other family foundations, especially regionally. Able to learn who is funding the same initiatives/grantees Tessa- For Youth grantmakers- the summer conference helps YACers meet one another and learn what works Wes- seeing so many influential people from big and small organizations that are trying to do good and affect change �Caroline- connecting corporate funders outside SE Michigan and giving them opportunities to compare notes about what's happening across the state Tom - Regional family foundation meetings across the state. People actually shared stories of what they did in specific situations, investments in recession, most people were meeting for the first time, connected them, learned from peers, etc. Leadership Caroline- exciting thing for her is the TMP (CMF's diversity and inclusion intiative) being involved is great, couldn't have been apart from CMF involvement. Symposium in March 2009 mention. Wes- TMP Symposium was most stimulating for him. Learned a lot and event was stimulating and provocative. Tessa- CMF's story of our work to coordinate foundation responses to the state's need for Race to the Top legislation. This has meaning in her local community (Ann Arbor) especially. Carol- Office of the Foundation Liaison institutes positive governmental relations for members and access/opportunities for relationships and influence that you wouldn't get at the local level. Tom- Overwhelming feeling ofbeing part of a really active, well connected organization that is a leader is inspiring and makes him feel really good. Video documentary by the Diversity in Philanthropy Project about CMF's diversity work made him intrigued about what his foundation could do differently. Knowledge Caroline- Harvard Governance as Leadership program and partnerships with Boston College are great. Got her certification from Boston College which is a badge of honor for her field. Very useful. Tom- Went to Family Foundations Retreat, got an awakening about the need to have a clearer focus for foundation and this is really making a difference. Wes- Gets a lot from annual conferences and his community foundation board benefits from direct technical assistance from CMF staff and consultants. His board has been strengthened by the on-site help, training and coaching. Carol- Be Ready By Five family network and learning circle at Michigan State University was an exceptional way to network and learn. �DAVE LINDBERG'S NOTES Peggy talked about how valuable the last Family Foundation summer retreat was, especially the sessions about understanding the different generations and their giving habits. She also enjoyed the team building activities. Chris mentioned how Rob meeting with Dow Coming to talk about CMF benefits and finding out about a greatly reduced fee they received for a national training due to their CMF membership. John talked about how CMF helped them with the next generation issues their children were hesitant to be too involved with the foundation until their spouses were added to the board. Phil and Andrea, saw a big benefit in the OFL and how this provides an opportunity for foundations to work with the State on various issues. By foundations working with State government Michigan has been able to leverage more federal dollars. Also foundations have become aware of opportunities where they can make grants that leverage federal dollar, they wouldn't have known about. Both felt the Race to the Top project was very worthwhile. Phil felt the work CMF has done on the Private Foundation Payout Study, flattening the excise tax and L3C has all been valuable projects for Mott. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Key Items to Note For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, the endowment funds lost $4,472,000. The recovery totaled $4,934,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 20 10. After accounting for the approved $10,000 in bonuses paid to staff based on the surplus generated for 2009-10, CMF Core Services ended the year with a net $46,000. This was largely due to additional revenue from the successful joint CMF/IS annual conference in November 2009. Differences between Internal Statements and Audited Statements Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from Kellogg for their additional membership dues, the internal statements will show more revenue under Core Services than the audit report. 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. Grant Kellogg Additional Member Contribution ($750,000 for 2005-06 to 2009-20 10) Additional Revenue Booked Per Internal Statements $150,000 For audit report purposes, the Kellogg grant was booked as revenue in 2005-06.

This was partially offset by new members totaling $18,000. Additional contributions were in line with the previous fiscal year. Note 2: Other Grants This line item represents the grant from the Skillman Foundation to support the occupancy cost of the Detroit Office which is located in their building. Note 3: Conference & Meetings Revenue & Expenses Based on the final accounting from Independent Sector, the joint CMFIIS Annual conference resulted in CMF receiving $157,000 to support staff time to produce the conference. The 2009- 10 Budget assumed $100,000 for staff time would be generated from the annual conference. Note 4: Publication Income $11,700 of the variance from budget is due to Michigan Foundation Directories budgeted for the Michigan Legislature that will not be distributed until after the Fall 2010 election. $10,000 of the projected variance is due to the Managing a Family Foundation publication that is currently on hold pending an analysis of the most pressing needs for family foundation members. Note 5: Investment Income Money market rates which are currently close to 0% are not expected to increase significantly in the next six months. $1,250,000 has been invested in COs to earn some income off the surplus operating and special project funds. $27,000 was transferred from the Core Services Endowment Fund in September 2009.

The enclosed report includes the following items from CMF's Auditors Rehmann Robson. • Consolidated Financial Statements • Report on Internal Control • Communications to CMF Board While we are pleased that CMF is receiving a clean audit, we want to draw your attention to the letter from Rehmann Robson that now cites materials weaknesses due to two adjustments as noted in their letter and as Management has responded to. In our meeting with the audit team, the Committee was informed that this reporting of material weaknesses is a new reporting requirement. We have asked a representative from Rehmann Robson to be on the phone for the Board Meeting to discuss this issue and respond to any questions you may have. Combined Statement of Financial Position The decrease from the prior year is primarily due to the reduction in cash held for the Kellogg Access to Recreation grant. This was partially offset by the $2.4 million in cash held by TIFF to hedge against the stock market being overpriced and the possible correction in the coming year. Investments The increase is due to the market gains incurred in 2009-1 0. It should be noted approximately $2.5 million of the CMF endowment fund s that were held in stocks and bond in the prior year have been moved to cash vs. $1 07,000 held in cash at March 31, 2009. �Audit Repott May 20 10 Page 2 Accounts Pavable The increase from the prior year is due to the following items. I Stimulus Package consulting fees $11o,ooo I Net Assets- Unrestricted- Board Designated The increase is due to the 41% annualized investment gain for the one year ending March 3 1, 2010. Net Assets- Temporarily Restricted The decrease is primarily due to the following items. Spend down of Access to Recreation funds Spending down of KYIP Funds in MCFV Market Gain on endowment funds ($1 ,300,000) ($ 1,400,000) $1,300,000 Combined Statement of Activities Member Contributions Contributions were down due to a drop in member assets as of 12-3 1-08, which is the basis for their dues payments for 2009-10. Grant Support The increase from the prior year is primarily the result of the two projects to help Michigan attract Federal Stimulus dollars. Conference Income The decrease from the prior year is due to the November 2009 joint CMF/Independent Sector conference in which the bulk of the revenue and expense ran through IS 's books. Investment Income The decrease is due to the drop in money market rates in 2009-10, which are currently at 0%.

Grant Expense The increase from the prior year is primarily due to the KYIP project which is winding down with the goal to conclude the project in this fiscal year. Professional Fees The increase is due to the consulting fees attached to the two Federal Stimulus dollar grants. Grant Transferred to Other Organization The amount for 2008-09 was the remaining funds from the Kellogg ECIC grant transferred to the Early Childhood Investment Corporation. Transfer Assets to Outside Organization The 2008-09 amount represents the assets transferred to the Michigan AIDS Coalition (MAC) as a result of the consolidation ofCMF's Michigan AIDS Fund with the Midwest AIDS Prevention Project to form this new organization.

We are pleased that Kito will be with us for part of the meeting to lead us in a training activity with the scripts. • Section Three is an update on our efforts to launch this year the first phase of a multi-year Membership Recruitment Campaign. Section One: I. New Members We are pleased to present the following Resolution for consideration and action: RESOLVED that the following grantmakers be approved for membership: Community Foundation Canton Community Foundation Family Foundations The Shiffman Foundation (REJOIN) O'Donovan Family Foundation Rachor Family Foundation (REJOIN) Voight Family Foundation Independent Foundation Chaim, Fanny, Louis, Benjamin & Anne Kaufman Trust (REJOIN) Public Charity Women's Caring Program II. Update on Renewals for 2010-2011 The renewal letter and membership form were re-de signed this year- see Attachment A. Letters have been sent to all constituencies. As of Friday, May 14, 126 member foundations have renewed: �Membership Report May 2010 Page 2 Community Foundations/Affiliates/DAF Corporate Foundations/Giving Programs Family Foundations Independent Foundations Out of State Associates 33 6 59 24 4 We are pleased that ten foundations have provided additional funds, due in part to the redesigned form, in addition to their dues for a total of $5,300. III. Membership Categories The following resolution was passed by the Membership Committee and is presented for your action. RESOLVED that the membership categories of "Corporate Giving Programs Consultant Service Bureau" and "Corporate Giving Programs Non-Consultant" be combined into one category identified as Corporate Giving Program and the categories of " Individual Philanthropists" and " Individual Consultant Service Business" be combined into one category identified as Individual/Associate. Because CMF Membership includes the criteria for all members that "our members pledge not to use their CMF membership to sol icit donations or business", the Committee feels it is not necessary to have a separate membership category for those for-profit firms, such as law firms, and accounting firms that operate grantmaking programs. The Committee further agrees with staff that it is not necessary to have a separate category for individual members of such firms who may be grantmakers in their own right and do not have a family foundation or relationship with a community foundation fund. This last category of membership does not include voting privileges. IV.

Section Two - Phone Contact with Members: Attachment C includes M embership R etention Script & Follow-Up Fonns for each of our primary Membership Categories: Community Foundations; Corporate Grantmakers; Family Foundations; and Independent Foundations. The Form includes summary Me mbership information at the top followed by the four goals of these calls. You will recall last year that those Trustees who were able to make phone contact found it to be a great experience. But in response to feedback you provided, we have included voice mail scripts for both the first and no more than second attempt. If you would like to send a follow-up note, we have also included sample text for that. And the Form ends with a useful Trouble Shooting Guide. We are pleased that Kito will be with us to walk us through these scripts, and we seek your feedback before we launch these Scripts in June. Because June 1 is the date we listed in our Membership Renewal Letters, our Goal is to have these calls made in June. We are asking that you help us in making contact with those members whom have yet to submit their membership renewals. We will provide an update in mid July on the progress being made, and staff will then make calls in August. We plan on being able to report at the October Board M eeting that every member has been contacted and that we have been successful with our Membership Retention Metric. Section Three- Recruitment Campaign: While the R ecruitment Campaign will be a multi-year effort, our goal for the 2010-2011 fiscal year is to recruit 44 new members from a variety of membership categories. There are three main strategies being implemented for this first year. �Membership Report May 2010 Page 4 1. Targeted group of Private Family/Independent Foundations Staff are researching and identifying a list of 40 Private Foundation prospects of various asset sizes based on the following indicators of potential membership: Previous CMF members whose membership has lapsed Staffed foundations Foundations who have previously attended CMF events Recommendations from Board Members and staff based on personal relationships We w ill focus our attention on the five geographic regions with the highest concentration of non-member private foundations (Grand Rapids, Great Lakes Bay, Kalamazoo, Southeast MI and Traverse City). Each prospect will have a profile, a communication strategy and a lead staff member who is responsible for outreach and recruitment of that particular organization. Our goal is to circulate this list to all Board members in June. Board and committee members are encouraged to provide information for the profile, assistance in introductions and help with outreach efforts if there is a prospect that they are familiar with. 2. Corporate Foundations and Corporate Giving Programs Through memberships and affiliations with various community organizations, the Vice President of Corporate Services along w ith the Corporate Committee will present and introduce nonmember corporate foundations and corporate giving programs to CMF and its Resources with the goal of adding ten new members. While Members of the Committee w ill utilize their local partnerships and networking opportunities to assist in the recruitment of corporate funders throughout the state, efforts will focus on those corporations participating in the Business Contributions Council (BCC) and the Corporate Urban Forum (Forum). The BCC is a state-wide networking opportunity for corporate funders to discuss issues and challenges unique to the corporate giving community. During the past year, all of the new CMF corporate members have been recruited utilizing the BCC. The Forum is a group of African American individuals who are responsible for the corporate relations, community relations, and public affairs for metropolitan Detroit area companies. In addition, as of May 2010, there are 18 Fortune 500 companies located in the state of Michigan. Ten of these are CMF Members! The remaining 8 are slated as prospective members to be targeted by the corporate committee and current corporate members. �Membership Report May 2010 Page 5 3. Diverse Grantmakers As part ofCMF's Transforming Michigan's Philanthropy Project, we w ill focus a portion of this year's recruitment efforts on identifying diverse granhnakers, including tribal, ethnic and racial funds as well as family foundations created by individuals of color. The following three steps will be taken to identify and begin recruiting these grantmakers: Market Research We w ill work with consultants to identify who the diverse grantmakers are in Michigan. We w ill then conduct focus groups and interviews with some of these organizations to identify what their current perception is of CMF (if any) and what CMF could do to be an asset to their organization. This will help us develop key messages to be used in targeted recruitment materials for diverse granhnakers. Changes to Membership Criteria and Programs This Market Research will aid us in identifying and proposing any necessary changes to our membership criteria and program offerings in order to take advantage of the opportunity to recruit diverse members Piloting Targeted Recru itment By the fall, we hope to be working with targeted trustees and members to pilot new recruitment materials with diverse member prospects. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Add your Regional Association logo to the header Update the "For More Information" section on page 2 with your contact information POLICYWORKS FOR PHILANTHROPY POLICYWORKS COMMUNITY PolicyWorks for Philanthropy is a multi-year initiative that seeks to build the capacity of regional associations of grantmakers' staff, board and volunteer leaders to engage policymakers in support of a vibrant and effective philanthropic sector. Our vision is that policymakers will recognize regional associations of grantmakers as among the most valued voices and expert resources on issues critical to philanthropy and society. THE POLICYWORKS COMMUNITY The PolicyWorks Community is 20 regional associations of grantmakers committed to building their individual and collective capacity to achieve the PolicyWorks vision and goals. That commitment is based on the belief that: • • Policy work is essential to achieving our missions and helping our more than 3,000 foundation members; and As a network serving foundations in 39 states, the PolicyWorks community offers the best and only coordinated national system for building effective relationships with elected and appointed officials at all levels of government. By "policy work" we mean government relations-related to legislation and regulations affecting the work of charitable foundations; and public policy engagement-supporting the achievement of charitable foundations' mission and goals. Building and maintaining relationships with policymakers is essential to the philanthropic sector's ability to: educate policymakers about the work, value and impact of foundations; advise policymakers about potential legislation or regulation that could harm the sector and decrease much needed philanthropic dollars; gain policymakers' support for legislation that could support the growth and effectiveness of philanthropy; and build partnerships with policymakers to achieve policy reforms that improve the quality of life for those foundations seek to serve.

I. Staff News At the start of the Board Meeting I look forward to introducing five new staff to you. I am excited by the talents and experiences these individuals bring to our team and the contributions they are already making to our priorities this year. • Bill Corkhill is Director of Technology • Deb Palms is part-time Program Coordinator for Family Foundations • Breannah Alexander is part-time (full time this summer) Program Associate for Youth Philanthropy • Katelyn Videto is the 20 10 Mawby Intern for youth philanthropy, and • LaToya Morgan is the Richardson Public Policy Fellow replacing Dana Linnane. I am not enclosing their corresponding resumes, but please let me know if you would like to know more about them after you meet them. At this Board Meeting, we will be thanking Dana Linnane for her outstanding service as Public Policy Fellow. I think Melonie and Brenda would agree that the Cultural Data Project and the Michigan College Access Network have both been successful in their launches thanks to Dana's nimbleness, coaching ability and good humor. She has also been a great help to Karen and Maura at the Office of the Foundation Liaison to the Governor. II. Constituency Updates I will be inviting Board Members to provide brief updates from their key Constituency Committees: Dave Sebastian on Family Foundations, Caroline Chambers on Corporate Philanthropy and Brenda Hunt on Community Foundations. It has been a very successful week with Family Networking events at the Temple Theater in Saginaw hosted by Mark Morley and in Ann Arbor hosted by Tom Porter. Please note the brochure in the back pocket of the Board book for the Family Foundations Retreat next month on Mackinac Island. We still need more participants to sell out our room block. And then there is a Summer Solstice Event on June 29 that Dave Sebastian is hosting. III. Foundations on the Hill Andrea Cole will provide the recap of our 32nd Annual Foundations on the Hill trip. We have several great pictures on the website. A highlight was joining the Council on Foundations and Forum of Regional Associations ofGrantmakers in recognizing �President's Report May 2010 Page 2 Representative Sandy Levin, now Chair of the Ways and Means Committee with the Friend of Philanthropy Award. Since our trip in March, the Joint Committee on Taxation has finally scored the revenue neutral number for a flat excise tax at 1.39%, slightly higher that the 1.32% done in 2008 for us by Cambridge Associates. This should allow the five-year pilot in the House Bill to now proceed. IV. 38111 Annual Conference I appreciate the help ofCMF Trustees Tom Porter, Libby Cherin and Chris Velasquez as Co-Chairs of the Conference in Traverse City. And I hope we can share the name of our first plenary speaker with you at the Board Meeting. The theme is all about Nurturing Innovation to Secure Michigan's Future. V.

Afterwards, CMF will refine the model and share with regional association partners Donors Forum of Wisconsin and Indiana Grantmakers Alliance. Indiana has already started laying the groundwork for their parallel 3D effort in their state by beginning their fundraising process. �President's Report May 2010 Page 5 Phase II In early May, CMF convened its Communications Marketing Advisory Council (CMAC) for a brainstorming session with Hattaway Communications to determine a phase two strategy with a goal to strengthen and institutionalize the Philanthropy 3D model to advance CMF's and member foundations ' work to solve critical issues in Michigan. This work will have three objectives: (I) To refine and add necessary elements to the 30 model; (2) To increase the number of CMF member participants; (3) To increase CMF's internal capacity to implement and sustain the model. Work is now underway to develop a strategy for phase II based on that brainstorming session. We will report on that strategy at the next board meeting. PolicyWorks for Philanthropy Finally, I have attached a two pager update on this national effort led by CMF and our colleagues at the Ohio Grantmakers Forum and Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers to engage more regional associations in working with policymakers. This work will strengthen our efforts, especially with the new policymakers arriving in January in Lansing. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

II. 2010-2011 Plan of Work Rob Collier referred to the revised Plan of Work Priority chart included in the Board materials (Attachment A to these minutes) updated as a result of the contributions from the Trustees at the special planning session on February 1. �Board Meeting M inutes February 23, 20 I0 Page 2 He reviewed the four proposed strategies to frame CMF's work for the next year: I. Advance Legislative Goals 2. Operate a Networked Learning Community 3. Support Membership Collaboration on Critical Issues 4. Coordinate a Central Voice for Organized Michigan Philanthropy Comments from the Trustees included: adding the Johnson Center as a national partner; providing leadership training for unstaffed foundations; and providing after hour Need to offer more after hour activities for family foundation folks such as regional meetings. There was consensus by the Board supporting the four strategies. Mr. Collier reviewed the three priorities that the strategies will support for this next fiscal year: Retention and Engagement, Recruitment, and Organizational Capacity to do the first two. He added that a number of the activities listed in the plan have been recommended by Trustees representing family Foundations and that staff changes were now underway to deploy more resources to the fami ly foundation membership group. Comments from the Trustees included: be open to forming new affinity groups and provide a spot on the website for folks who do not know where to start in creating a giving foundation. The Board discussed tracking the proposed metrics and showing progress. Staff will make suggested changes in the Plan, and it was noted that this is a work in progress. Upon motions duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Draft Plan of Work Priorities, Strategies and Tactics FY 20102011 be adopted as the core staff planning document for the next fiscal year. III. Communicating Our Message Becky No ricks introduced special guest Kito Cetrulo of Esplanade Consulting, Inc. by phone who continued her work from the February I Special Board Meeting on next steps in developing CMF's message through small group exercises. Ms. Cetrulo reviewed the Goal of this meeting to reach a consensus on Membership Retention Strategy and Value Story (Attachment B) and develop a series of themes that are central to CMF's core and easy to remember. She indicated that five central themes emerged from her interviews with targeted trustees and staff in responding to the question, what defines CMF's core? • Community - Networking/relationship building • Want to have a universal benefit for everyone • Very diverse, strength is interconnected • Leadership • Knowledge She noted that the tone of CMF is equally important in responding to the question: how do you want to be remembered - and added that the following words should be critical but invisible components. This is what they should hear from you through the message: • Inclusive (community) • Innovative (leadership) • Insightful (knowledge) There was support from the Trustees for the responses to her questions but there was also consensus that impactful and influential needed to be added. �Board Meeting M inutes February 23, 20 I0 Page 3 Trustees formed small groups to share a personal story of a CMF experience (Attachment C) summarized as: Corporate Philanthropy • the idea to work as a network because the corporate world is traditionally a competitive environment - CMF gives them a chance to network and building relationships outside of that. Family Foundations • Be Ready by 5 Initiative was the most compelling due to knowledge shared and relationships. Independent Foundations • Office of the Foundation Liaison (OFL) through projects such as, Race to the Top, which will help bring federal dollars to Michigan. Community Foundations • Legislative leadership, such as with the IRA Rollover that helps small and large community foundations. Vicki Rosenberg reported staff will continue to work with Ms. Cetrulo on a membership renewal letter and work on training to: • Understand the magnetic & aspirational qualities of membership • Explore the motivation & barriers to participating, and • Explore the motivation & barriers keeping folks from joining CMF. Professor Lynn Wooten referred Trustees to the Centers of Excellence/Expertise at the bottom of the chart- (Attachment C), and Mr. Collier noted that she would be continuing to work w ith staff on changes to CMF's organizational culture that provide these five centers to all members without silos. 1. Advocacy 2. Communications 3. Convening & Collaborate 4. Education 5. Phi lanthropic Practice IV. 2010-2011 Budget Audit Committee Chair Phil Peters and Dave Lindberg presented the proposed budget.

Philanthropy 3D Initiative Becky Noricks, Director of Communications, provided an update (Attachment D). The project seeks to design a test model for communicating the unique value foundations bring to rebuilding Michigan' s economy and communities. 14 CMF member foundations, each represented by a staff liaison and one or two trustees, are engaged in this test model using the small cards with the one minute messages and the Impact wheel that she shared . Comments from Trustees included: adjust the card to fold to the size of a business card. VIII. Special Update- The State Budget and its impact on the nonprofit sector Sharon Parks, president & CEO of the Michigan League for Human Services, and Becky Bechler, partner at Public Affairs Associates, joined the meeting at 2:00 p.m. to update the Board on the status of the budget and what to expect as the election in November approaches. Ms. Parks shared statistics on poverty rate and job losses. Ms. Bechler noted with the upcoming changes in the legislature next year, not much is getting done as legislators are worried how decisions will look politically. She added that with term limits, legislators do not have the confidence that they can take hard votes and survive an election. The legislature appears to only pass things in a crisis as what happened with Race to the Top. Mr. Collier indicated that CMF's Public Policy Committee would be looking at the issue ofCMF taking a position on tenn limits and the issue would likely be on the next Board Agenda. IX.

Mawby Award for Philanthropy Manal & Ghassan Saab Flint Mana! and Ghassan Saab are recognized philanthropists who have dedicated resources, expertise and service for many years to local, state, and international nonprofit organizations. Their charitable interests are broad and include arts and culture, education and health. For the Saabs, philanthropy is a personal commitment born of a value system that believes in "giving back and paying forward." While they ascribe to what might be characterized as lofty ideals, the net effect of their philanthropy is often touching lives in real time, day to day life - supporting a student's education; mentoring a new immigrant, encouraging Arab Americans to get involved. Through the Ghassan and Mana! Saab Foundation, the Saabs have made grants to strengthen organizations including the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, the United Way of Genesee County, Crim Fitness Foundation, The Flint Rotary Charitable Foundation, Flint Children's Museum, Tall Pine Council - Boy Scouts of America, Catholic Charities of Shiawassee and Genesee Counties, the American Arab Heritage Council, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, the Flint Institute of Music, the Flint Institute of Arts and the Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP) - to name just a few. Mana! and Ghassan are both immigrants to America who believe, "We are one earth, one country, one world," says Ghassan. "We are taking down geographic borders and we never lose sight of the impact we can make in this world," added Mana!. As one community leader noted, "They commit to things and see them through and because of this they emerge as community leaders, which is particularly important in Flint." The Council of Michigan Foundations and Michigan Nonprofit Association are pleased to recognize Mana! and Ghassan Saab with the 2010 Mawby Award for their long term demonstration of leadership, impact, creativity, and collaboration in using philanthropy for the public good in Michigan and globally. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
