Martin Taylor), to "the creator, the voice, the spirit and the soul" of the Council of Michigan Foundations, Dorothy A. (Dottie) Johnson. After 25 years at the helm of the council, Johnson, who disdains the term "retirement," announced last spring that, at 59, she had chosen to "graduate" from her post atop the nation's largest and most prestigious regional association of grantmakers. By the time the evening's tribute in her honor was gaveled into adjournment by Master of Ceremonies Russ Mawby, retired head of the W.C. Kellogg Foundation, her "graduation" had been lavishly observed by corporate, governmental and philanthropic leaders. The highlight of the evening was a set of announcements by CMF Chair Ranny Riecker and Grand Valley State University president Arend Lubbers. Rieckertold Johnson that the Council's board had chosen two gifts as "reasonable and suitable recognition" of contributions: a permanently endowed Dorothy A. Johnson Educational Fund to support honoraria and travel expenses for Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) conference speakers and an endowment for a Research Library on Philanthropy and Volunteerism at Grand Valley State University where Johnson serves on the Board of Control. Riecker made the announcement, telling Johnson that "over $1.4 million has already been raised from 90-plus donors to support these two endowments in your honor." Following Riecker's presentation, live trumpets sounded a fanfare announcing President Lubbers' arrival, accompanied by two GVSU students bearing a huge banner. The banner told the story ofanothertributeto Johnson: the renaming of Grand Valley's philanthropic center as ''The Dorothy A. Johnson Center on Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership." Continued on inside Conf e r e nc e - -- - --, �Dottie, continued from front In the two hours preceding these announcements the tributes were lavish. Michigan Governor John Engler spoke of watching Johnson "harness the power of the foundations in Michigan" to enable Michigan to become "a model for the nation." In person and on video, leaders from across the U.S . told of Johnson ' s passion for her work, her unchecked E";r1,usiasm and her unrivaled success. They c..~ .. :1 the growth of philanthropy in Michigan and nationally, acknowledging her role in that growth. And they recounted ways in which Johnson had impacted their own lives. A young woman who met Johnson through the CMF's "Kellogg Youth Initiative" spoke movingly of her decision to make philanthropy her life work owing to the influence of Johnson. "Do not go too far away," she said, "because the youth of Michigan need you - and I need you." From academic garb befitting a commencement ceremony to a forgettable rendition of"Hello, Dottie!" sung by "The Dotti-ettes," five suit-clad men in massive black wigs, it was an evening marked by evidence of the difference one person can make. During her three-minute response at the close of the evening, Johnson was profuse in her tribute and thanks to others . Her voice broke only once, when thanking her husband, Mart, '~ho centers me and makes it possible for me to pursue my dreams -thank you for your loving support." Johnson's successor in the post of CMF president, Robert Collier, was praised for the qualities he will bring to the role come January 1. But the evening belonged to Johnson. Perhaps the longest and most sympathetic applause of the evening followed the concluding tribute from the former President of the Ford Motor Company Fund, Leo Brennan: ''To paraphrase Shakespeare, 'Mark well this woman, for we shall not see her likes again."' �Granholm and Edie on legislative matters Michigan Attorney General Jennifer M. Granholm and John A. Edie, vice president and general counsel for the Council on Foundations, provided a behind-the-scenes look at developments on the state and national fronts that affect Michigan grantmakers. The two spoke during Tuesday's "In Touch with Our Capitols" session. Granholm, whose office ensures that nonprofits comply with state regulations, urged the session's attendees to let their state lawmakers know they support a proposed amendment to the Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act. The amendment (H.B. 4259) will streamline the process for registering nonprofits with Granholm's office and ensure better enforcement of state regulations, she said. On the national front, Edie made a prediction. "I'd say the chances of a tax bill being approved within the next 15 months are very, very slim," he said, pointing out that partisan wrangling virtually ensures President Clinton and the Republican-controlled Congress will not reach an agreement before the 2000 election. That means it likely will be several months before grantmakers need to consider the implications of any changes in the tax code, Edie said. Community Foundations: "For good. For ever." Family foundation trustees discuss challenges of family growth It didn't take long for the phrase to catch on. By the end of the opening session of the 1999 Conference ofthe Council of Michigan Foundations, "For good. For ever." had become the rallying cry of the 250 people attending the session. CMF Vice President and in-coming President Robert S. Collier even lead the group in a cheer ofthe slogan. "In my humble opinion, this is one of the most exciting times to be in the community foundation field," Jack Hopkins, president and CEO of Kalamazoo Foundation, told representatives ofthe state's 61 community foundations during the opening session Tuesday. The excitement was obvious as chief executive officers, executive directors, trustees and staff of community foundations from across the state saw for the first time the results of more than 10 months ofwork by the Venture Products Fund. The enthusiasm focused on the newly unveiled message- "For good. For ever." -that is to be at the heart of the foundations' efforts to promote statewide awareness of their work and ensure their long-term viability. Mission statements, succession planning, donor intent and board meeting attendance are just some of the challenges faced by many oftoday's family foundations as their generations increase in number and expand geographically. Family foundation trustees discussed these issues during "Generations and Geography: Impact ort Family Foundations," a Tuesday morning workshop. In addition to discussing these challenges, the audience heard advice from Virginia Esposito, president of the National Center for Family Philanthropy in Washington, D.C. Using her 25 years of experience in the foundation world as a backdrop, Esposito highlighted two questions every family foundation trustee should ask before dealing with any foundation issue: "What are you trying to accomplish?" and "Does everyone involved in the endeavor understand and share the commitment?" These questions are critical, Esposito said, because they get at the heart of every foundation challenge: communication. "If your family is located all over the place, you need to fmd creative ways to communicate and come together," she said, citing family retreats, meetings, board books and e-mail as effective ways for family foundation trustees to communicate. To achieve this kind of successful communication, Esposito said, trustees must first answer two key points: why and how they want a family member involved with their foundation in the first place. "Most of all, think about who you want involved and why and set up the systems to allow that to happen," she said. �--------~_.. -- - -- ------------~~----------------, Tuesday, November 2 How Grantm akers Can Impact Public Schools "We need you, but 1t' s got to be in a way that's useful to us ." That was the message from Karen R. Todorov, a social studies consultant for the Michigan Department of Education, who spoke to grantmakers during Tuesday's "Impacting Public Schools: Lessons from the National Geographic Society" session. Todorov advised the nearly 75 attendees of the session to support programs and provide opportunities that help students apply what they learn in the classroom to the real world. Michael Libbee, co-coordinator of the Michigan Geographic Alliance, and Lanny Proffer, executive director of the National Geographic Society Education Foundation, told the attendees how the National Geographic Society has done just that, leading a successful effort to improve geographic education in schools across the country. Based on a network of state alliances, the National Geographic Society has been able to leverage additional funds to bring geography back into classrooms. For example, Michigan and about a dozen other states have provided $500,000 in matching funds to establish $1 million endowments to ensure that geography remains at the core of education. Libbee advised those interested in improving education to explore opportunities to leverage additional funds and employ collaboration as a way to get more for their investments. Survey Provides Glimpse into Michigan's Corporate Giving Programs Preliminary findings from a first-ever study of corporate giving programs show that Michigan companies make more direct contributions to educational than to health and human services, arts and culture, civic and community or other causes. In a session Tuesday entitled "Corporate Foundations and Giving Programs," Dot Freeman ofthe Grand Valley State University Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership also said that one-third of respondents to a survey had established corporate foundations or trusts. However, only 29 percent of all giving decisions are made by those foundations - 63 percent of gifts continue to be determined at corporate headquarters. In a preliminary release of numbers, Michigan appears to lag behind other states, Freeman said. Nationwide, donations amount to 0.8 percent of all pre-tax corporate profits; in Michigan, that amount is .25 percent, she said. On average, U.S. employees make individual gifts of$329 per year. In Michigan, employees contribute $124 annually. Freeman stressed that the data is preliminary and final numbers will be available Dec. 14. To date, 45 companies have responded to the survey, which is being conducted by Grand Valley State University's Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership. The study was developed to show the giving trends among Michigan corporations that have 100 or more employees. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

November 3 Foundations The sobering civic health of the nation Bennett delivers stern message to lunchtime crowd While he warmed the audience with his good humor, Dr. William J. Bennett offered commentary on sobering issues surrounding the declining civic health of our nation. Bennett, a former philosophy professor who served as Secretary of Education under President Reagan and as the nation's "Drug Czar" under President Bush, spoke at Wednesday's luncheon address and shared with conference attendees findings from "A Nation of Spectators," the latest report of the National Commission on Civic RenewaL "We (Americans) are living in an incredible bubble," Bennett said. "It should be a time of enormous hope and, if we look at our economic resources, it is. But if we consider our nation's civic life and health, we often feel help less." Two particular problem areas, he said, are American families, which face a great deal of pressure, and fraying neighborhood and community ties. Bennett stressed that while moral and civic ills are compounded by poverty, it is "an evasion of responsibility to focus only on the inner city" -- we must also address issues rooted in the average and most fortunate communities, he said. And nursing our nation back to better civic health begins with the individual, Bennett said. ''Too many have become passive and disengaged -there are so many opportunities for engagement, but never before have we felt so powerless .... We fret but don't make personal commitments to promote change even in our own lives. We say we don't have time, but Americans have more leisure time than ever before." Bennett claimed that for each ofthe nation's worst civic problems, there is a person or organization addressing them effectively. He urged foundations and others to search diligently and support those programs rather than recreating solutions. The four critical institutions at the root of civic health, as agreed upon by the National Commission on Civic Renewal, are families, schools, faith-based institutions and the media. Bennett said that the media television in particular - is doing a great deal of damage, not only through the programs aired but also because it keeps Americans away from various activities, such as interacting with each other. "We must hold the television industry responsible for civic harm just as we hold the tobacco industry responsible for physical harm," he said. At the same time, Hollywood and television are important educators, Bennett said, and we should appeal to the industries to make a positive impact. Conference A decade of compassion ... A new era of hope Honoring 10 years of the Michigan AIDS Fund If it was a celebration ofthe success ofthe Michigan AIDS Fund, it also was a sobering reminder ofthe work yet ahead, as philanthropy gathered Wed-nesday night to pay tribute to 10 years of service of the Michigan AIDS Fund. AIDS activist Mary Fisher, an honorary trustee of the Fund, was among those who paid tribute. Fisher point out that patently false "good news" announcements about the end of AIDS have made the battle against the epidemic even more difficult. "And against that dark background shines the Michigan AIDS Fund," she said. "Over the decade this fund has grown into the largest, most responsive, and most successful collaborative effort of its type anywhere in the nation. "Since the founding of the Michigan AIDS Func(for every one of us who labors with the reality of AIDS in our life, you have become an uncompromising symbol of hope. In fact, you are more than a symboL You are the author of our hope." And in his concluding remarks, CMF Vice President and COO Robert Collier reminded attendees that "The work is not over. We need your continued involvement." The evening also provided the opportunity for the Fund to recognize five of its "heroes" -people whose vision, time, talent and hard work gave rise to and nurtured the Fund over the last 10 years. They included outgoing CMF President Dorothy "Dottie" Johnson, as well as the Fund's first board chair, Barbara Getz; its current board chair, Glenn Kossick; Fund Board Member Leonard Smith; and former W.K. Kellogg Foundation Program Director Dr. Thomas Bruce. �- - - - - - - - - - - - - . . . . . . . . -·- ---·-·------- - - - - - - -- -- - -- - - - -- - - - - -- - - - - -- - . , Diverse audience discusses subtleties of prejudice Reach out with talents, surgeon says What began as a learning session on the complications of racial prejudice turned into an emotional session Wednesday. ''White Privilege" on Wednesday provided an opportunity for interactivity as participants were urged to share their assumptions and experiences of how racial prejudice plays a role in everyday life. Peter Visser, vice president for human resources at D&W Food Centers, led a crowded Cascade Room in a discussion of how philanthropy can help bring a solution to the problem of racial prejudice. "There are no experts on racism and diversity, but there are many people who have small parts of solutions," said Visser. Through a series of questions, Visser guided the audience in exercises that used real-life scenarios to address what he calls "white privilege." In one exercise, audience members answered yes or no to questions like ''When you walk into a record store, is the music of your ethnicity easily accessible?" and "Has race ever affected the job of you or someone you know?" But if these exercises were interactive, a video about the subtleties of privilege got the audience truly involved in the session. One audience member told how, during the 1930s, he tried to help get an African-American classmate elected class president in a mostly white school. "They called me into the principal's office and told me I couldn't do what I was doing," he said. Visser shared his own stories of prejudice from the perspective ofhis young daughter's experience as an Asian American. Beyond personal stories, Visser told of how white privilege relates to philanthropy and the giver's mindset. "Never make an assumption about what your client needs," he said. As a child of poverty who has become a worldrenowned pediatric neurosurgeon, best-selling author and motivational speaker Dr. Benjamin Carson knows what it takes to help young people become successful. He shared that knowledge with a capacity crowd Wednesday in the Pantlind Ballroom. Carson urged his listeners to direct their time, energy and other resources to telling young people what they can achieve. "That is going to be the difference in whether we lead the world in the future or become a distant follower," he said. Carson sounded an alarm when he said that Americans are enjoying prosperity similar to the abundance enjoyed by once-great civilizations, including ancient Egypt and ancient Rome - a prosperity that didn't last for those civilizations. "People think that can't happen here, but I guarantee you - it can," he said. In order to move away from America's transition from a "can do" nation to a "what can you do for me" nation, Carson said, each individual must use his talents to elevate others, particularly young people. Carson then urged his listeners to identify their own talents and to reach out to others to promote values and principles. "Our diversity is not a problem; it's a strength. We've allowed small-minded people to make it a problem," he said. "The very thing that made this a great nation will keep it a great nation." Now is the Time: Connecting urban poor to employment At least 90% of the people in the U.S. think that "welfare reform is a smashing success," said Sheldon Danziger, researcher and professor at the University of Michigan. "But what about those people who can't work, can't find work, or can't find full-time work?" In a session Wednesday entitled "Putting People to Work - Implications for Philanthropy in Welfare Reform," Danziger, along with Louis Glazer of Michigan Futures and Kristin Seefeldt of UM, said the reality is that welfare reform in Michigan leaves a lot to be desired. First, the current welfare system doesn't provide the types of services many poor people need to become marketable to employers, the presenters said. Domestic violence, a lack of transportation, and ofhealth care and child care all create obstacles for the urban poor who are seeking to join the work force. In many cases, the state doesn't provide services to overcome these obstacles - and Wednesday's presenters suggest community foundations should step in to fill that gap. "Now is the time to act," said Glazer. "The jobs are available now. The economy needs it. Connecting the urban poor to work is a good thing for the individual, but it's even better for their kids." In addition, there is a lack of evaluation of the welfare reform process. According to Danziger, Michigan has not done any evaluation since 1996. Without state money, researchers rely on donors like the Charles Stewart Matt Foundation to help them assess the gaps between current policy and current and future needs. "Foundations are making welfare reform research possible," said Danziger. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Television reporter, Mike Wallace; public health pioneer, Mary Fisher; and social entrepreneur Kent Amos, will be interviewed in a panel discussion by Charles Eisendrath, a former Time correspondent who heads the University of Michigan Journalism Fellows program. Wallace, who re-invented investigative reporting for on-camera broadcasting, helped make 60 Minutes the most successful show in the history of television. But he had lost track of the University of Michigan, which had given him his start. By creating a fellowship for working journalists, he "got back" an association with an institution he admired, and co-chaired its $1.3 billion endowment drive. Mary Fisher Kent Amos Fisher, born to one of Michigan's "first families" of business had made her mark in art, politics, , and television. But when tragedy struck, she discovered a powerful new metier as crusader and launched her effort with a landmark speech on AIDS at the 1992 Republican Convention. Founder of the nonprofit Family AIDS Network, Inc., she tirelessly works to increase awareness, compassion, and prevention of HIV I AIDS. Kent Amos responded to the crisis among African-American families and a large number of inner city chil~ dren growing up without enough parenting, by converting himself from a Xerox corporate executive to "superdad." How else to describe a man who has adopted 87 children? His Washington, DC Urban Family Institute leverages and expands his vision of the power of love that he shares with his wife, Carmen.

Rappleye Chair, Audit & Finance Committee RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations' 1999-2000 Budgets Resolved: That the enclosed Council of Michigan Foundations' 1999-2000 Budget be approved as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance and Executive Committees. During the month of January the CMF Audit & Finance Committee along with the CMF Executive Committee reviewed and approved the CMF 1999-2000 Budget. While we have noted earlier that the MCFYP and Michigan AIDS Fund Boards are responsible for reviewing their respective budgets, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee has reviewed their budgets which are included in the attached Consolidated Budget. It should be noted that the MCFYP budget was approved by the MCFYP Executive Committee in January, and that the Michigan AIDS Fund is currently going through their budget process, with modifications expected to the preliminary enclosed budget. The CMF budget for 1999-2000 has been prepared on a break-even basis with no major increases expected in programming activities for the coming year. Special projects are budgeted based on approved funding. CMF Core Operations 1999-2000 Budget Note A Member Contributions As ofDecember 1998, CMF's membership count stands at 434. The increase for 1999-2000 is based on twenty-five new members for the coming year plus an increase in the asset levels of our members. Note B Support for President's Search The budgeted amount is based on the Executive Committee's estimate of costs associated with the President's position search. To fund these expenses CMF Chair, Margaret Rieker will invite voluntary contributions from members. The CMF Core Operations accumulated fund balance will fund any excess expenses not supported by the voluntary contributions.

Tab 2 Page 14 Date: February 2, 1999 Memo To: Council of Michigan Foundations Board of Trustees From: Richard K. Rappleye Chair, Audit & Finance Committee Re: CMF & Supporting Organizations' December 31, 1998 Financial Statements Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' December 31, 1998 Financial Report be accepted, pending the approval of the CMF Audit & Finance Committee that will be meeting on February 8th. On February 8, 1999, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee will be meeting to review the enclosed financial statements. ~ '·; Based on the year-to-date results all indications are that CMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund will meet their budgeted goals for 1998-99. Of particular note is the fact that the investment returns for the CMF and MCFYP endowment funds were very strong during the last three months of 1998. This will be discussed further in the investment report that follows. I () Consolidated Balance Sheet Note A: Cash & Cash Equivalents The relatively high cash balance for MCFYP is due to the amount required to meet future challenge grant commitments and community foundations' programming needs. Note B: Net Assets Thanks to the strong performance of the U. S. stock market, the endowment funds for CMF and MCFYP have experienced significant growth over the last three months. The growth over the last twelve months in the endowment funds is highlighted below. Allen & Mawby Funds MCFYP Board Designated Fund KYIP 12-31-98 $2,331,143 $4,559,697 $7,671 ,913 \\NT-SERVER\STAFF\DLINDBER\BOARDMET\CMF\1998\M021699.doc 12-31-97 $2,005,287 $2,938,189 $5,889,514 �15 Consolidated Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets The nine-month financial results for MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund indicate that revenue and expenses are expected to remain within budget for 1998-99. As a reminder to this board, the individual boards ofMCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund are responsible for reviewing their individual statements in detail, and, therefore, the attached notes will focus on the CMF Core Operations results. Core Operations Statement of Activities Note 1: Member Contributions Due to new memberships received this year along with the increase in asset levels of our current members, total membership as of December 31, 1998, has exceeded budget by $41,513. Note 2: Conference Income Revenue and expenses for the Annual Conference are over budget, due to the record number of attendees (1,291) at the 1998 conference. Revenue for the conference totaled $383,000 (out of the total year to date revenue of$400,122), with expenses totaling $398,000, resulting in a net cost of$15,000 for this year's conference. Knowing that the logistics of the Annual Conference were going to result in some extraordinary expenses management felt fortunate that only $15,000 of the $37,000 prior year conference fund balance was required to fund the deficit. Note 3: Investment Income Investment income for the Core Operations has remained strong due to earnings on funds received for special projects. Note 4: Salaries Salaries for 1998-99 are anticipated to remain over budget for the year, due to the wages for the Detroit office position, which are now being charged directly to the CMF Core Operations. \\NT -SERVER\STAFF\DLINDBER\BOARDMET\CMF\1998\M021699.doc - - -- - - - - - - �16 Council of Michigan Foundations & Supportil1g Organizations Consolidated Balance Sheet December 31, 1998 Core& Special Projects ASSETS Cash & Equivalents Investments Due From Other Funds Property, Plant & Equipment- Net Other Assets Accounts Receivable Accrued Interest Receivable Total Assets LIABILITIES Accounts Payable Other Liabilities Grants Payable Total Liabilities ~: - NET ASSETS (FUND BALANCE) Unrestricted & Temp Restrict.

I am pleased to say that Libby Maynard, Trustee, Community Foundation of Greater Flint, has agreed to Co-Chair the Committee. I have extended an invitation to another member who will hopefully have an answer for me by the board meeting. Legislation Since the board last met, the only state legislation passed is the "Youth on Boards," bill, as reported in the CMF Memo to Members and the Plan of Work Results for 1998-1999. Rob Collier and the Y AC's provided the leadership to get this bill passed. Senator Bill Schuette was the primary sponsor of the legislation, which allows for the participation with vote, of 16 and 17 year-olds on Michigan nonprofit boards. Nationally, H.R. 86, eliminating estate and gift taxes, and generation-skipping transfers, which has implications for charitable bequests, has been introduced. Michigan cosponsors, as of January 19, 1999, include Barcia, Camp, Knollenberg; Smith, and Upton. Staff is also considering proposing that community foundation donor advised funds come under further regulation. Other bills pertaining to the IRA Rollover and Charitable Deduction have yet to be introduced in the 1061h Congress. Capitol Hill Visitation February 2/3, 1999 I am very pleased that 19 of us will be joining our RAG colleagues from around the country, together with the RAG Forum and the Council on Foundations, to make Congressional visits. Tuesday evening, February 2nd, Senator Carl Levin will meet with us at a dinner, hosted by Consumer's Energy. The Allen Fund is supporting our participation at the University of Michigan Capitol Hill Club Breakfast, where the entire Michigan Congressional delegation is present. We will be giving each Representative the new edition of the Michigan Foundation �25 Directory, a printout of the foundations in their District, our philanthropy book, and a CMF fact packet.

Collier, and myself. A CMF Member, representing corporate philanthropy has been invited to participate. �26 Private Foundation Payout Study The CMF Advisory Board and Technical Subcommittee continue to gather data for the study. Following the Advisory Board meeting, a Technical Subcommittee was formed to evaluate the collection of data, the form of the study, and ease of membership response. Serving on the subcommittee are Robert E. Swaney, Vice President and Chieflnvestment Officer, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation; Edward M. Hunia, Vice President, The Kresge Foundation; Paul J. Lawler, Vice President, W. K. Kellogg Foundation, Michael J. Smith, Assistant Vice President, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Working with Cambridge &Associates, the three foundations are collecting data from 1968-1998, as a preview of what CMF will be asking Members to undertake. Results of this effort are expected by early March, after which the Subcommittee will make a recommendation to the Advisory Board on how to proceed. The Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow Foundation has contributed $10,000 to the project. Additional proposals are pending at the Kellogg, Kresge, and Mott Foundations for the study of the private foundation payout provision.

Doan RE: December 31, 1998 Investment Report Page 19 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the December 31, 1998 Investment Report. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council of Michigan Foundations, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund, for the period ended December 31, 1998. The bench mark rates of return are based on the targeted asset allocation using the previous 12 and 24 months returns for the various indices listed at the end of this report. The last three months of 1998 have resulted in significant gains in the US stock market. Those gains have resulted in the budget deficit experienced in the investment returns for the CMF and MCFYP endowment funds, through September 30, 1998, being eliminated during the final quarter of 1998. On the attached you will find the investment performance and asset allocation reports for the period ending December 31, 1998.

Johnson Re: CMF 1999-2000 Plan of Work Attached is the plan prepared by staff in consultation with Members, committees, other RAGS, advisors, and members of the philanthropic network. We believe we have an ambitious, but "do-able" plan. Each year the Executive Committee asks me to highlight my personal five or six priorities. This year I include the following: 1. Assure orderly and creative transition in staff leadership. First and foremost, it is my goal that a seamless transition take place. No one knows the dimensions and dynamics of the process and selection, but I want to be certain that the board, members, staff, and candidates are all motivated by the change. I will review CMF's internal operations in hopes off having all systems in good order. The last CMF Strategic Plan comes to an end in 2000. I am pleased to report that all goals have been, or are in the process of being, achieved. I will leave the decision as to whether or not to proceed with another planning effort to you and the new President. 2. Accomplish key legislative/regulatory goals as well as enhance STATE legislative network. Key goals include confirming the definition of a community foundation. This last year we proceeded on a two-prong effort, first, seeking a legislative definition which ran into stumbling blocks in the House, and secondly, with the Department of Treasury in hopes of obtaining a definitive ruling. A new State Treasurer, who is a friend of CMF, should make the process simpler, but whatever the case, we must find a solution. On a federal level, CMF will work with COF and others on the IRA legislation, potential community foundation donor advised fund regulations, and the proposed federal legislation on shareholder approval for corporate contributions. �38 The CMF Michigan federal legislative network is solid; the state network needs attention, particularly in light of term limits. The state network will be a priority. 3. Involve more family philanthropy in CMF. There is tremendous potential for the creation of family foundations and family funds in community foundations. CMF will work with existing family philanthropies, as well as encourage other donors. My personal goal is to meet with at least four groups of potential donors, in a "peer-to-peer" setting with CMF Members and board members, to encourage giVmg. 4. Work with CMF Board, Committees and staff to facilitate changes in the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Project and the establishment of community foundation best practices/standards. Such standards would eventually become the basis for the delivery of CMF technical assistance and membership benefits. 5. Work with Advisors to encourage giving. Advisors are an independent group, eacli desiring to be of ultimate service to their client. CMF needs to provide resources (donor stories, brochures, technical assistance, etc.) for advisors seeking help with their clients. My goal is to organize a group of20 or more such advisors who will actively work with CMF and our Members to encourage giving. The plan, which follows, includes most of these items, as well as the regular services which CMF Members have come to expect. We are not proposing any change in the number of staff, which are dedicated and very hard-working. i:ewp:committee/brdtrst/2-02tab9 �Council of Michigan Foundations Plan of Work I April 1, 1999- March 31, 2000 �.• ) ) MISSION A membership organization of foundations and corporations which make grants for charitable purposes, the mission of the Council of Michigan Foundations is to enhance, to improve and to increase philanthropy in Michigan.

By way of background, I have attached my announcement to the Members and her letter of intent. I presented a Search Plan to the Executive Committee, at their meeting January 12, 1999, the outline of which I shared with you during our conference call. The following information will be the basis of our discussion at the February 16, 1999 Board Meeting. Committee I am pleased to say that fifteen Members, including all Past Chairs still actively involved in philanthropy but one, ten current Trustees, a_nd five past Trustees, have agreed to serve. (See attached list.) Search Firms It was determined that CMF would engage a search firm to assist in our efforts. My assistant at the Towsley Foundation, Vickie Chatland, will assume the internal staff function, and all correspondence will be directed through my office in Midland, at 235 East Main Street; Suite 120, Midland, Michigan 48640 [Phone: (517) 837- 1100]. I also can be reached at home at (517) 835-7084. Relevant Known Searches Conducted Mr. Leonard Pfeiffer, IV.

King President Kittleman & Associates Community Foundation of Greater Flint- President Community Foundation of Muskegon County, Pres. Ms. Toni S. Smith Senior Director Spencer Stuart Associates Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan - President Job Description and Profile Attached is Dottie's current Job Description. Below are the characteristics she has outlined at my request. All of this will be expanded upon by the Search Committee and the search firm with your approval. The successful candidate will have: • Strong financial organizational and management skills • The ability to meet the needs of a diverse membership while also identifying issues and trends of significance to funders and the nonprofit sector • Strong strategic thinking and implementation skills • A working knowledge of philanthropy • A deep-rooted commitment to and understanding of the nonprofit sector • The ability to build relationships across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. • Experience in building coalitions that take diverse needs and perspectives into account • The ability to set priorities and manage multiple tasks simultaneously • Strong written and verbal communication kills Leading candidates will have achieved a level of experience appropriate to the position. Demonstrated success in managing a membership service organization and growing an organization is desirable • One of the assumptions of the search is that the CMF Office will remain in Grand Haven, thereby insuring the continued fine service of the entire CMF staff. • Internal candidates will be encouraged to apply. • A national search will be conducted. �68 • The Search Committee's first meeting will be following the board meeting, February 16, 1999, following the Board Meeting (1 :00 p.m.). At that time, we will review the Search Firm Proposals, and select those firms to be interviewed. • Dottie will be with us until January 2000. Ideally, there will be a suitable amount oftime for overlap. • Several RAG positions around the country are open/and or have been recently filled. While CMF is the largest RAG in the country, it is wise to know the background territory activity.

I know this was not an easy decision for her, but as she explains in the attached letter to me and the Board, after 25 years of service to CMF, she wishes to graduate to other responsibilities and to have more time with her family. The good news is that Dottie will continue as CEO for another year. -~· CMF is in great shape. We are the largest Regional Association of Grantmakers in the country with a superb board and staff. We are a role model for the country in terms of an effective government relations program, and-we continue to lead the way in efforts to increase and improve philanthropy. Like you, I take pride that in the state of Michigan, every citizen is now served by a community foundation, and that more than 5000 youth have been, and are involved in philanthropy. This is just a short list of what has been accomplished with Dottie's creativity and leadership. 1 There will be time to recognize her contribution in November at CMF's 27 h Annual Conference, November 2-4, 1999. In the meantime, please know that the Executive Committee is preparing a Search Plan for the Board's consideration at their February 16, 1999 meeting. I have agreed to head the search and will be contacting each of you for ideas. In the meantime, if you wish to reach me directly, please write me at the Harry A. & Margaret D.

C~F is in great shape. We are the largest Regional i\ssociation of Grantmakers in the country, with a superb board and staff. Over the years I have noted that the board, committees, and staff all go the extra mile. Following the meeting of the board today, I plan to share my plans with the staff. We have an excellent team, and I know they will carry forth the work of CMF with the same outstanding vision and skills that characterize our accomplishments today. C~F is in sound financial condition, having met every budget and with four endowments that I hope will only increase over the years. Working together we have succeeded in achieving 21 legislative goals and have ( ::t hi ne ! _/ 1, I j ·if 1 !

As you know, this was not an easy decision, and one I discussed with your predecessor, Mariam Noland, during the past year. I will be pleased to assist you and the board in any way, as you consider plans for January 2000 and beyond. I do note with some satisfaction that I will continue to be associated with five CMF Members, in one capacity or another. When I think of January 2000, I like to think of my departure from CMF as a graduation, a graduation to more time to undertake new volunteer and corporate opportunities. My interest in CMF's mission to enhance, to improve and to increase philanthropy will only grow. I look forward with great anticipation to working with you, the board, members, staff, CMF partners, and friends in 1999. With sincere appreciation, Dorothy A.

News was received over the holidays that YACs are flourishing in British Columbia, as well as two being started in the Czech Republic. Enhanced Technical Assistance With the Kellogg Youth Challenge ending, the majority of community foundations and their affiliate funds are dealing with two specific challenges: how to maintain growth momentum, and how to deal with the need to raise ongoing operating funds. The Enhanced Technical Assistance Grant from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation is allowing CMF/MCFYP to provide targeted enhanced technical assistance in the form of On-Site Mentoring, Investment Advisory Services, and Asset Development through Planned Giving to those community foundations with less than $20 million in assets. Dorothy M. Reynolds has provided on-site mentoring to targeted foundations in the areas of asset development, pro-active grantmaking, and operational elements of community foundation management. Fund Evaluation Group (FEG) from Cincinnati, Ohio, is offering Investment Advisory Services through site visits with local community foundation investment committees, phone calls and regional meetings for board members. �81 Additional trainings and follow-up consultations are scheduled for spring 1999. Planned giving technical assistance will be provided by John Brown & Associates in two-day training sessions in May and September 1999. Project Team-Up and Collaborative Service Grants Project Team Up and Collaborative Service grants, supported by the current W. K. Kellogg Challenge Grant, are assisting small community foundations to overcome barriers to asset growth by promoting partnerships with neighboring community foundations and the joint purchase of services. The MCFYP Board of Trustees has approved nine Project Team-Up grants for a total of $500,000 and two Collaborative Service grants totaling $40,000 and will review additional grant applications April 1. Computer Project With 33 community foundations installed on the Foundation Information Management Service (FIMS) software, the Computer Committee's energies are focused on how to best serve the remaining 23 community foundations that are too small or lack the staffing to implement FIMS. Options for smaller community foundations include an Excel template, HUB access to FIMS at an off-site location, a newly introduced Windows version of FIMS or a yet to be developed product called Community Pearl.

Governor John Engler Fund Ms. Johnson joined Ms. Noland in reviewing a proposed resolution to honor Governor John Engler, by creating a Fund with the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation, that covers the Governor's hometown ofBeal City. The Fund is being proposed because of the Governor's leadership in philanthropy, with highlights including the community foundation tax credit and other legislation that would strengthen community foundations and philanthropy in Michigan. It was noted that due to timing problems, this matter could not be presented to the MCFYP Executive Committee until January, but it is hoped that the MCFYP Board will allocate $5,000 from the interest earned on its endowment, coupled with the gift of $5,000 from the interest earned on the Mawby endowment. The MCFYP Board will make an independent decision. No membership fees will be used for the gift. 8 �~-~-------, ---- ~---------------------------------------------, 9 The Governor would receive this honor at the closing luncheon with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He would be informed that the assets of community foundations now exceed $1 billion with grantmaking of $50 plus million a year.

There was discussion on the appropriateness and precedent-setting nature of the proposed resolution award creation. Upon motion duly made, supported, with three abstentions to the vote, and approved, it was RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations enter into a fund agreement with the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation to create with a gift of $10,000, the Governor John Engler Fund as an endowed scholarship fund to annually support a student from Isabella County interested in a career in public service, with a gift of $10,000 coming from the interest earned on the Mawby Endowment Fund and the MCFYP endowment.

Rappleye, Chair, Audit & Finance Committee Re: Authorization to Set Aside Funds from CMF Fund Balance Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve $100,000 of the March 31, 1999 General Programming fund balance be reserved for the following expenditures in fiscal year 1999-2000, as recommended by the Audit & Finance Committee. 1. President's Search Expenses $75,000 2. Office Improvements (carpeting and workstations) $25,000 After another successful year, CMF's General Programming fund has reached a balance of $419,920 as ofMarch 31, 1999. At the last Audit & Finance Committee meeting, a 1999-2000 budget adjustment of$100,000 was approved to cover the estimated costs associated with the President's search. While Ranny Riecker, Chair ofthe Search Committee, has indicated that contributions to fund this search would certainly be welcome, she felt it would be prudent to set aside up to $75,000 from our current fund balance to cover any expenses in excess of contributions received for this activity. Management is proposing that up to $25,000 from the current fund balance be used to pay for office improvements during 1999-2000. Those improvements would include replacing carpeting that is over ten years old and reconfiguring the workstations in lower level of the office. The CMF Chair, Ranny Riecker and the Audit & Finance Committee recommends both authorizations. \\NT-SERVER\STAFF\DLINDBER\COMMITTE\FINANCE\99-00\M052199b.doc �16 Council of Michigan Foundations Audit Committee Meeting May 21, 1999 �17 May 21, 1999 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP 333 Bridge Street, N.W.

We have been afforded full access to all records and received full cooperation from CMF's management. The scope of our audit was conducted as planned and discussed with management in January 1999. Our audit was designed to provide reasonable assurance that errors and irregularities that are material to the combined financial statements would be detected. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the internal control structure for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the combined financial statements. We noted no significant matters relating to the internal control structure and its operation. In today's complex business environment, audit committees play a vital role in overseeing the financial reporting process. Although reliable financial reporting is primarily management's responsibility, the importance of the Audit Committee and its role has increased steadily over the years. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Division for CPA Firms membership requirements state that the external auditor should communicate certain matters to the Audit Committee at least annually. Such matters have been summarized and included in this report. Very truly yours, �18 Council of Michigan Foundations Contents Pages 1.

The second section presents a discussion item on the future of MCFYP. We are pleased to share this progress and look forward to your counsel. I. INFORMATION A. MCFYP Update Kellogg Youth Challenge The MCFYP Board has approved matching payments totaling $45,831,076. Plans are underway to have two final celebrations to recognize the efforts of 68 community foundations in completing the Kellogg Youth Challenge on September 20 in Marquette and September 22 in Battle Creek. This means that there is a balance of$1,168,924 remaining in the Youth Challenge. At the direction of the MCFYP Board, staff are preparing a plan for these funds to become a permanent endowment that would support a position to coordinate statewide networking and training activities. This plan will be considered at the fall MCFYP Board meeting before being presented to our funder for consideration. Enhanced Technical Assistance Karen Tice from FERA, the MCFYP evaluator, has provided an interim report on the work of both Dorothy Reynolds and the Fund Evaluation Group (FEG) that confirms the value of this specialized assistance. Dorothy Reynolds is now working with many of the smaller foundations on the development of donor advised funds and area that is new because such funds did not qualify for the Kellogg Challenge. The MCFYP Board has approved the Phase II contract with FEG to continue their investment advisory services. Efforts will focus on implementation of asset allocation strategies and monitoring investment performance. In addition, John Brown, national planned giving expert will be training 50 staff and trustees from small community foundations in May and again in September. Adventure Tours We are pleased to share that youth grantmakers from the Rhode Island Foundation, the Little Rock Arkansas Youth Council, the Muncie Indiana Community Foundation, the Berks County Pennsylvania Community Foundation, the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz California, and six community foundations in British Columbia will be participating with 200 Michigan Y ACers in Adventure Tours 1999, June 24-27 at Michigan State University. �B. Venture Product Fund We are excited to have Bob Tobin of Williams Marketing Services (WMS) in Grand Rapids at the Board Meeting to present an update on the Venture Product Fund. WMS has been retained to be the Project Manager on this important undertaking addressing three goals: to do further research about potential untapped audiences for community foundations, to develop a product portfolio of existing and new products for community foundations, and to develop a communications toolkit for community foundations to use individually and collectively in reaching both advisors to the wealthy and untapped audiences. We are grateful for the work of many volunteers from the community foundations who are helping Bob Tobin and his colleagues at WMS. C. Community Foundation Best Principles and Practices This is a "work in progress" with six committees of volunteers assisting staff in developing manuals that will complement the six sections discussed below. We hope to have preliminary copies ready for the community foundation sessions at the Annual Conference. CO:MMUNITY FOUNDATION BEST PRACTICES Principles & Practices Individuals and communities involved in creating and operating a community foundation in Michigan have asked for guidelines and best practices to consider when assessing the operational effectiveness of their foundation. With this in mind, the Community Foundation Committee of the Council ofMichigan Foundations (CMF) has adopted the following best principles and practices and recommends their adoption by the boards of trustees of community foundations and an annual review for new and current trustees. Michigan is unique in having community foundations included in the state tax code as a result of the individual and business tax credits. The goal of these best principles and practices to promote wellrun community foundations that can best maximize the potential for asset growth and grantmaking in their communities. CMF has a close relationship with the Community Foundations Committee of the Council on Foundations in Washington that is working on the development of national standards for community foundations. It is recognized that the principles for best practices summarized below represent a "work in progress" that will eventually be merged into one national document for community foundations. While state and/or federal law require many ofthe best practice principles, the Committee recognizes there are different approaches to implementation of some principles. As a result, CMF has developed a manual on Best Practices for each of the six main principle headings. It is also recognized that the six main principles are integrated -e.g. that communications is key to effective governance, administration, asset development and grantmaking. Copies of these manuals along with sample forms can be obtained from CMF. Intended to be instructional, these practices are reviewed annually in order to share what works best for community foundations. Additional ideas are always welcome. �52 1.

DISCUSSION ITEM A. Future ofMCFYP (Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project) With the close of the Kellogg Youth Challenge on December 31, 1998, it is time to look at the future role ofMCFYP as a supporting organization of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Based on productive discussions held with the Community Foundation Committee and the Board of Trustees ofMCFYP, the follow recommendations are offered for discussion. With your approval of this plan, we will seek approval of our funder to implement this plan at the start of our next fiscal year, April 1, 2000, and present the necessary formal resolutions for your consideration at the November Board Meeting. Recommendations: 1. That MCFYP continue as a supporting organization of CMF. 2. That the future mission ofMCFYP be redefined as the "promotion and support of youth as grant makers". 3. That the composition ofthe Board ofMCFYP be restructured to include up to 10 individuals with vote: 3 youth grantmakers, 4 representatives of community foundations, and 3 CMF Trustees (including the President of CMF). 4. That the MCFYP Board meet at least twice a year to: • monitor the activities of community foundation youth advisory committees - such as the longitudinal study being conducted by our evaluator FERA through 2010, • oversee special training activities such as the fall regionals and adventure tours, • promote the use ofYAC Best Practices, • consider activities that can further promote and support the work of youth as grantmakers, and • explore opportunities to help Y ACs leverage their funds with private and outside funders. 5. That the remaining one million dollars in the Youth Challenge be used to create a permanent MCFYP endowment that would be used to both support a position at CMF to coordinate YAC trainings and to help underwrite the cost of the trainings. 6. That the endowment, built through the interest earned on the Kellogg Challenge, be used to support general and specialized technical assistance services for community foundations provided through the core operations ofCMF and not MCFYP. This income would start to be used in April 2001 when the current funding for technical services is exhausted. We look forward to discussing these recommendations with you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Irish, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee Re: Family Philanthropy Report We are pleased to highlight the following activities for family foundations. Family Foundation Luncheons and Discussions In southeast Michigan, two luncheons for family foundation trustees and individuals considering establishing foundations were planned. The first, hosted by the Earl-Beth and Fink Foundations, was held on April30, 1999 at The Grosse Pointe Club and was a huge success. It was obvious that the twenty-seven guests tremendously enjoyed having the opportunity to meet each other and to informally discuss the issues that are important to family foundation trustees. The second luncheon is planned for Wednesday, June 2, 1999 at the Orchard Lake Country Club in Oakland County. The Detroit Neurosurgical Foundation, Shaevsky Philanthropic Fund and The Young Foundation are hosting. We are most appreciative of the leadership and financial support provided by the five host foundations. If the second luncheon on June 2 is as successful as the first, we are planning to repeat the model around the state. The Family Philanthropist The Spring 1999 edition of The Family PhilanthropistL CMF' s newsletter for family foundations, was distributed in May and featured a profile ofRanny Riecker, President, Harry A. & Margaret D. Towsley Foundation, Trustee, Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation and CMF's Chair. (A copy is in the pocket of your board book.) Annual Conference We are excited that Ginny Esposito, President, National Center for Family Philanthropy, has agreed to present a "special" two-hour family foundation workshop on "Continuing the Tradition: Generations and Geography". The National Center, established in September 1997, is the only national resource center that focuses solely on matters of importance to families engaged in philanthropy. Ginny's workshoj will be offered immediately prior to the peer luncheons and the opening of the 27 Annual Conference on Tuesday, November 2, 1999. �59 Concurrent sessions for family foundation trustees will include "Conversation with Carmel Borders", "Which Comes First-You or The Money? Are You Perceived as the Community Wallet?" and "Now Tell Us What You Think, Need Or Want: A Family Foundation Peer Networking Session". Individual Meetings Susan Howbert, Rob Collier, and Dottie Johnson continue to provide technical assistance to family foundation members and potential donors. Recently, considerable time has been spent cultivating new relationships and working with new family foundation members. One ofCMF's greatest resources is its satisfied members who frequently refer their friends to us. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Maynard, Co-chair David B. Kennedy, Co-chair Governments Relations Committee Re: Government Relations Committee Report Tab 8 Page 37 CMF Legislative Goal Statement Resolved: CMF Legislative Goal Statement be revised to include the two proposed items, and changes as indicated in bold. The proposed additions and changes are noted in bold on the attached statement. The Committee recommends the addition of two goals, one related to charitable split dollar plans on a national level, and the second on a state level related to distribution of the tobacco settlement. The Committee recommends no action be proposed on the repeal of the estate and gift tax legislation introduced in the last session of Congress. Donor Advised Funds is an issue raised by a Taxation staff member, but at the present time, there is no proposed legislation. Ad Hoc Public Policy Committee Proposed Resolved: CMF establish a Public Policy Committee which would meet when interest was expressed by a group of CMF Members to discuss a certain subject. The subjects would be of programmatic interest, such as devolution and not related to self-defense matters such as tax legislation. The Committee would only meet as interest develops and would not take formal stands on issues or propose such action to the CMF Board. Educational material from the Committee would be shared with the membership as appropriate. It has been suggested that the first two co-chairs of this ad-hoc committee be Kari Schlachtenhaufen, Vice President, The Skillman Foundation, and Miguel Satut, Program Officer, W.K. Kellogg Foundation. State Legislators's Grantsmanship Seminar On Monday, March 22, 1999, CMF sponsored the biennial seminar for legislators and their aides in Lansing. Speaking were Ranny Riecker, Towsley Foundation; Benita Melton, Matt Foundation; Jim McHale, Kellogg Foundation; Patricia Reynolds, Capitol Region Community Foundation; Laura Trudeau, Bank One; and Rob Collier, CMF. Each legislative office received a copy of the new Michigan Foundation Directory at the event, or later in their Lansing office. Participants numbered 90. The evaluations were excellent. �38 Council on Foundations Legislative Network and Seminar More than a dozen CMF Members and CMF are part of the national COF network, now electronically connected throughout the country. COF has agreed to cosponsor with CMF a two-day training program on the media and government with the idea of encouraging additional members to be involved in the legislative process. The event will take place in the Spring of 2000 and will be structured to appeal to advanced and beginning grantmakers in each subject. As a committee member said, "we need to get the next generation as informed and enthused as we are on the issues crucial to foundations, charitable giving and philanthropy." State Legislative Network The Committee reinforced the importance of having as strong a state network as we do a federal network. Toward that end, staff is identifying one or more grantmakers in each Senate and House district who ideally knows the individual and/or would be willing to contact them in the district on issues related to philanthropy. The lists will be completed shortly and contact made with CMF Members over the summer months. Status of Current Legislation CMF contacted each Congressman requesting support ofH.R. 1310 (Charitable Deduction Relief Act) and HR. 1311 (IRA Rollover), as well as asking that members of the CMF Legislative Network do the same. To date, sponsorship is as follows: H.R. 1310: Camp, Ehlers, Kilpatrick H.R. 1311: Camp, Ehlers (A companion Senate bill has just been introduced, and Senators Abraham and Levin have been contacted). H.R. 887: (Gilmour Bill not supported by CMF). No Michigan sponsors, only four number nationally. It is expected that we will be able to report additional cosponsors at the board meeting, June 4, 1999. tab8bdbk5-25 �39 COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Statement June 1999 (Proposed) Philanthropy in America Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. In 1997, foundations and corporations donated more than $21.6 billion for charitable causes and services, including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, libraries, and programs for the elderly, and the needy. Today, foundations and corporations are being challenged to increase their support and charitable donations in the face of program changes initiated by national, state, and local governments, as well as increased needs. In the face of this challenge, it is apparent that much can and should be done to encourage the creation and growth of new foundations and corporate giving programs. Unfortunately, the 1969 Tax Act, while introducing a number of reforms, also erected a number of major barriers to foundation philanthropy. These include the provisions that serve as disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as provisions that discourage charitable donations to foundations. After more than 30 years of experience, it is also apparent that a number oflnternal Revenue Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive on the grantmaking effectiveness ofMichigan's more than 1,468 foundations, as well as the more than 42,500 other foundations in communities across the United States. If foundations and corporations are to expand their support of important social needs and programs, the Council ofMichigan Foundations must work actively to inform the general public, as well as state and federal legislators and other policymakers, on these important issues. It must seek support for legislative changes that encourage the role and effectiveness of foundation and corporate philanthropy. That is the purpose of the following Council ofMichigan Foundations' Government Relations Program. Background: CMF Government Relations Program In 1977, the Council ofMichigan Foundations' (CMF) Members directed the Board of Trustees to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy. This program was to include a plan to communicate with public policymakers. A Conference Mandate (Government Relations) Committee was established to implement the program. �40 Since then, the Government Relations Committee has surveyed the C:MF Members in their legislative interests and priorities on a timely basis. In 1980, CMF also launched a "Developing Good Will Program" to assist in this public information effort. CMF has worked with foundation and corporate Members, the Council on Foundations, other regional associations of grantmakers, Independent Sector, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and other nonprofit organizations to enhance the understanding of public policymakers about foundation philanthropy and to bring about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. As a result of these efforts by CMF and others, the following twenty-one goals have been accomplished: NATIONAL • Reduction of mandatory pay-out requirement for private foundations from a proposed 6 3/4% to 5% • Excise Tax on private foundations reduced from 4% to 2% and in some cases 1% • Private foundation .65 limit on grant administrative expenses terminated • Fair regulations on private foundation lobbying have been issued • Full deductibility of gifts to private foundations of publicly-traded stock made permanent • Gain portion of gifts of appreciated property is not subject to the alternative minimum tax reduction • Affidavit process for simplifying private foundations grants to non-U. S. Charities instituted • Private & Community Foundations allowed to ownS-Corporation stock • Protected charitable gift annuities as attractive giving vehicle for donors • No part of premiums paid for D&O liability insurance need to be treated as compensation by directors of any charitable organization • Regulation passed indicating U. S. Foundation grants to nonresident aliens would be taxed depending on the place where the research or study takes place • Community foundations permitted to administer pooled income fund • Due date of first estimated private foundation tax payment on investment income changed to coincide with the due date of the Form 990-PF • Generation-skipping transfer law pertinent to the predeceased parent exclusion, extended for charitable lead and remainder trusts �41 STATE • • • • • • • Repeal of the state inheritance tax Community foundation tax credit for individuals and businesses made permanent with no cap Limitation of the tort liability of volunteers of nonprofit corporations Repeal of the Michigan Intangibles Tax 50 I (c)3 organizations allowed to have an insurable interest in the life of an individual who has given written consent Legislation passed allowing gifts and bequests received by units of local government (cities, villages, counties, public libraries), to be gifted to community foundations Amended the nonprofit corporation act to allow youth ages 16 and 17 to serve on the boards of nonprofit corporations, with vote The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March 1, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April 12, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995, October 30, 1996, March 13, 1997, and November 4, 1998. Goal: Support the continuation and expansion of tax incentives for the creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. National Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability. Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that all historical financial data be taken into consideration. History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. (Reilly/Skadden, University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration study sponsored by CMF, 1981 -Private Foundations: The Payout Requirement and Its Effect on Investment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study "Spending Policies and Investment Planning for Foundations," 1995, sponsored by the Council on Foundations.) CMF is sponsoring an updated study which will evaluate the "actual" performance of Michigan's endowed private foundations with assets of more than $5 million over a forty-year period. �42 2. Goal: Change the limitation on gifts to a private foundation from 20 percent to 50 percent. Explanation: Under existing law, the amount deductible by an individual taxpayer for contributions to private non-operating foundations is computed as a percentage of the donor's contribution base (in most cases, his or her adjusted gross income). An individual may deduct only 20 percent of the gifts of appreciated property or 30 percent of gifts of cash. On the other hand, an individual taxpayer can deduct up to 50 percent of his contribution base for cash (and 30 percent for appreciated property) for gifts to public charities. 3. Goal: Increase the deduction allowed a taxpayer for a gift to a private foundation of certain capital gain property. Explanation: Currently, individual taxpayers may deduct the full fair market value of a gift to a private foundation of appreciated property in the form of publicly-traded stock, if the gift is less than 10 percent ofthe outstanding stock ofthe company. However, in other cases, such as privately-held stock, the amount of deduction continues to be limited to the donor's cost or basis in the stock if the gift is to a private non-operating foundation. The same gift to a public charity entitles the taxpayer to a full fair market value deduction. 4. Goal: Reduce excise tax to flat 1 percent instead of the present complicated formula which permits, in some cases, a reduction from 2 to 1 percent. Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from 2 to 1 percent if a foundation's payout for the year in question equals or exceeds an amount equal to the year's assets, times the average payout percentage for the five years, plus 1 percent of the foundation's net investment income. 5. Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and repeal the 3 percent floor on itemized deductions. Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, the Congress approved a 3 percent floor in deductions. This floor was scheduled to expire at the end of 1995, but was made permanent effective in 1993. �43 6. Goal: Limit lineal descendants who are "disqualified persons" at the level of grandchildren. Explanation: In 1984, the law was amended to limit "disqualified persons" to substantial contributors to a foundation and their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and their spouses. The amendment provided that substantial contributors will no longer be considered "disqualified persons" if, over a ten-year period, they meet certain requirements to distance themselves from the foundation. However, there is still no logical rationale - - or examples of abuse - - to justify the inclusion of lineal descendants beyond the level of grandchildren. 7. Goal: Modify the law to permit the "out of corpus" requirement to be met by a foreign grantee if sufficient documentation is provided showing that the full amount of the grant was spent for the specified purposes within 12 months after the year the grant was made. Explanation: When making grants to some foreign charities, private foundations are required to treat them as private foundations. Any grant from a private foundation to another private foundation requires that the amount granted "flow through" the grantee and out as qualifying distributions that are made "out of corpus" by the end of the following year. The purpose for this rule is to prevent a foundation from avoiding the payout rule by having one private foundation give to another who then simply adds the grant to its endowment (corpus), with charitable grantees receiving no benefit. In the foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment and totally misunderstands the concept of "out of corpus." 8. Goal: Secure passage oflegislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form which permits itemized deductions; instead they file the short form which allows only a standard deduction. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize charitable contributions within certain limits. Legislation has been introduced in 1999, H.R. 1310, which will allow non-itemizers to deduct 50 percent of their charitable contributions over $500. �44 9. Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can lobby or otherwise influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that adversely affect grantmaking. Explanation: Oppose unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on charitable and nonprofit grantees of foundations and corporate giving programs and unreasonable limits which adversely impact grantmakers' ability to fund research and evaluation. While progress has been made, continuous monitoring is essential. 10. Goal: Support legislation to eliminate the classification of realized gains and income, derived from leveraged real estate investments by foundations, as unrelated business taxable income. Explanation: Foundations and nonprofit organizations are significant investors in the real estate market. Income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Legislation would have private foundations treated in the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain real property. 11. Goal: Permit tax free distribution from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes. Explanation: It is proposed that direct gifts from an IRA to a charitable organization would not be taxed as income to the account-holder who has attained the age of 59-1/2 years of age, known as the IRA - Rollover Bill. It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many charitable organizations, including conununity foundations. H.R. 1311 and S. 1086 have been introduced. 12. Goal: Avoid excessive corporate giving regulations. Explanation: Legislation has been introduced, H.R. 887, which would require public companies annually to disclose to their shareholders the charities to which they made contributions and the amount of each contribution if a corporate officer or spouse is on the grantee's board. CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation which would require costly administration. 13. Goal: Support legislation eliminating Charitable Split Dollar Insurance Plans. Explanation: As designed and marketed, a donor setting up a CSDI plan makes a "gift" to a charity and claims a charitable income tax deduction for the full amount. The charity then uses the gift to pay the premium on a life insurance policy on the �45 life of the donor for the benefit of the donor's heirs. At the death of the donor, the charity gets a portion of the death benefit (normally one-third the value), and the heirs get the rest plus any tax-sheltered accumulation of the policy. The insurance broker pushing the product also gets a sizable commission. Note that for the donor to be able to deduct the full amount of the gift, the charity will have to provide written verification that the gift was received without any goods or services to the donor in return. Advocates for this scheme argue that the full amount is deductible because each donation is an unrestricted cash gift, and the charity may choose not to purchase the insurance policy. H.R. 630 denies a charitable contribution deduction for the donor of a split-dollar contract, and imposes an excise tax on the charity equal to the amount of the premiums paid by the charity. Certain reporting requirements are also established by the legislation. pbitzerbdbktab81egstate �46 State Legislative Issues 1. Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to commuJ?.ity benefits as it relates to nonprofits. Explanation: Legislation has been proposed in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Texas which threatens the tax exemption of charitable organizations. CMF, working with partners such as the Michigan Nonprofit Association, will closely monitor any related efforts in Michigan. 2. Goal: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from individuals. Explanation: Other states have found a tax deduction favorable to encouraging additional gifts to charities, educational institutions, churches, etc., by individuals. The United Way of Michigan is taking the lead on possible introduction of a limited tax deduction. 3. Goal: Support legislation further defining a community foundation in the State Tax Code. Explanation: A community foundation is currently defined in the State Tax Code pertaining to the state community foundation tax credit. It is important to further define a community foundation in order to promote permanency and accountability while avoiding , duplication of effort in communities and regions of the state. Progress: Legislation was passed by the Senate in 1998 and was considered in the House Taxation Committee. An updated Administrative Revenue Bulletin on community foundations is being sought from Department of Treasury to cover some of these issues. Similar 1999 legislation is being introduced by Senator Joanne Emmons. 4. Goal: Support legislation allowing gifts and bequests received by public school systems to be gifted to community foundations. Explanation: While a number of community foundations have scholarship funds established by school systems, Michigan law is currently "grey" on this issue. Legislation will remove the uncertainty and promote further partnerships between school systems and community foundations. Progress: Legislation developed by Duane Tamacki will be introduced by Representative Geiger. Representative Allen, Chair of the Education Committee, has indicated his support. �47 5. Goal: Pursue legislation necessary for a portion of the state tobacco settlement funds to be granted to Michigan community foundations for the establishment of Healthy Youth Funds. Explanation: Michigan's share of the national tobacco settlement ($206 billion over the next 26 years) between 46 states, five commonwealths and territories and the District of Columbia with five tobacco companies, representing 97.5% of the industry, is $8.3 billion. The master settlement agreement does not specify how states may spend their settlement payments. The House has approved and sent to the Senate a bill to use 75% of the funds to support the Michigan Merit Awards that would provide a $2,500 award to students, who meet or exceed state standards, for study at any two or four year higher education institution in Michigan or federally approved apprentice program. CMF's proposal is geared towards the remaining 25% portion of the settlement. Progress: Governor Engler has been briefed on CMF's proposal and a meeting held with State Treasurer Murray. Discussions are now underway with key legislators. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson Re: Increasing Philanthropy - Update Tab 14 Page 62 Resolved: Expand Increasing Philanthropy Committee. CMF has had numerous initiatives, member committees and task forces to expedite each activity. It is proposed that staff work with interested board members, Members, and cooperating partners to focus activities and explore new options. Opportunity: As I have reported at other board meetings, the Forum ofRegional Associations is sponsoring the National Initiative to Promote Philanthropy, a project to expand philanthropy at the local level. Launched in 1998, Russ Mawby is a member of the Advisory Board, and I chair the Initiative. The project is in the process of raising $10 million to fund projects supported, not only by RAGS, but community foundations, NSFRE Chapters, United Ways, nonprofit associations, etc. The first round of grants has been completed (the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan African-American project, with CMF's partnership) received funding. CMF purposely did not apply because of the numerous activities we already had underway and my role as Chair of the Initiative. There may be an opportunity to apply for support for one of the numerous projects CMF has undertaken including, the community foundation marketing and positioning project which identifies four categories -- women with hidden wealth, blue collar wealthy, entrepreneurs, advisors, as well as many others. Background: In 1984 the CMF Board formally changed CMF's mission to include the word "increase." It was logical to expand the mission "to enhance, to improve, and to increase philanthropy in the state ofMichigan," as CMF has had a long history of working with individuals, foundations and corporations to accomplish their charitable goals. Russell G. Mawby chairs the Increasing Philanthropy Committee. A summary of CMF increasing philanthropy activities includes: • • • • Michigan Community Foundation's Youth Project. (To date has resulted in creation and expansion of 56 community foundations and 39 affiliate funds with assets in excess of $1 billion). Increase in number of family foundations. (For example, between 1996-1998, 257 family foundations were created). Expansion and increase in number of corporate foundations and corporate giving programs; not a large number, but CMF has seen an increase in requests for service, particularly from mid-size corporations. Work with Advisors to the Wealthy. �63 • • • • • (Participated with The Philanthropic Initiative in interviewing 70 Michigan advisors; CMF committee often advisors formed). Publications. (CMF has numerous publications supporting this effort. Revised versions of"So You Want to Give-Options for Giving," and "The Basics of an Organized Corporate Giving Program," will be distributed at the board meeting). Education Programs. Technical Assistance. K-12 Education & Philanthropy Project. Michigan AIDS Fund. pbitzertabl4bdbk5-22 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Swaney, Jr., Chair, Investment Committee RE: March 31, 1999 Investment Report Tab 5 Page 28 Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the March 31, 1999 Investment Report. The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council ofMichigan Foundations, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund, for the period ended March 31, 1999. The bench mark rates of return are based on the targeted asset allocation using the previous 12 and 24 months returns for the various indices listed at the end of this report. On the attached you will find the investment performance and asset allocation reports for the period ending March 31, 1999. Fallowing the receipt of the KYIP funds in 1997, they were invested based on the targeted asset allocation over a twelve-month period ending August 31, 1998. By investing in the equities market during a period (May through August of 1998) when market values were decreasing, the KYIP portfolio was able to out perform the other endowment funds during the twelve months ended March 31, 1999. As ofMarch 31, 1999 all endowment funds are considered fully invested, in accordance with the targeted asset allocation and where variances exist are being re-balanced on a quarterly basis.
