Tab 13 Page 60

The K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project Steering Committee met on May 6, 1999.
New Steering Committee members welcomed were: Julie F. Cummings, Max M. and
Marjoire S. Fisher Foundation; Susan Wally, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation;
Susan Kelly, Hudson's.

Plan ofWork
The plan of work for 2000-2003 was presented encompassing ten major goals:
1. Continuing development of new lesson plans and teaching materials
2. Professional development for teachers and outreach to new teachers
3. Links to school improvement initiatives
4. Parent involvement, youth group outreach, and congregational programs
5. Work with related systems such as service-learning, and school-to-work
6. Dissemination ofthe teaching of philanthropy in Michigan, nationally, and
internationally
7. Public relations and marketing
8. Self-sufficiency for the project in the future
9. Human resources, Steering Committee utilization, and staffing
10. Evaluation: formative, summative, and longitudinal.
This plan of work will guide the next stage of development of the project. The plan
includes the integration of the lessons in Michigan, introducing the Indiana developed
youth organization and congregational components in Michigan, disseminating the
lessons in ten states, and laying the groundwork for international dissemination.

Lesson Acceptance
The first set of 100+ lessons, K-12, have been field-tested by seven teachers (five in
Michigan, two in other states). In addition they were given a final review by a committee
of the Steering Committee. The lessons were accepted and will be placed on the web-site
during the summer of 1999.
Summer Residential Institute
A summer residential institute is planned for June 20-25, 1999 in order to bring thirty
new teachers into the project. Upon successful completion of the institute, these teachers
will join the current project teachers to become "teacher-consultants." The teacher-

consultants will become peer educators for other teachers and they will provide inservice professional development. This is the start ofthe formal dissemination process.
11

Association for Philanthropy Education 11
A new membership organization is proposed that will lay the groundwork for future selfsufficiency for the project. While the final name has not been chosen, the new
organization will provide support and a focus for teachers, and other interested parties,
who want to stay actively involved in philanthropy education.
Second Annual Black Philanthropy Conference
The K-12 project was presented at the Black Philanthropy Conference in California and
was very positively received. Interest from foundation leaders and educators in
California, North Carolina, Washington State, and New York on replicating the project
will be pursued.
Fund-Raising Update
Since the report in November, the following grant/contract support has been received:
An anonymous donor
$600,000 over three years to support field-testing lessons
and three summer residential institutes for teachers

Family Foundation Mailing
On April 26, 1999, 216 family foundations with assets less than $200,000
and or grantmaking less than $25,000 received a personal letter of
invitation to join CMF from Dottie Johnson, along with the second issue
of the Family Philanthropist. The mailing has so far resulted in nine new
members! We are thrilled with this success and will continue targeted
mailings to other groups as appropriate.

VI.

1998-99 Membership Campaign- Membership Committee and Board
As a result qf the campaign, the following joined CMF because of letters,
phone calls and meetings. The name of recruiters is noted in parentheses.
Free Press Charities, Inc. (Mariam Noland)
James &amp; Catherine Haveman Family Fdn. (Susan Howbert)
Jennings Memorial Foundation (Dottie Johnson)
Ramser-Morgan Foundation (Mariam Noland)
The Seabury Foundation (Susan Howbert)
St. Clair Foundation (Gil Hudson)
Ralph C. Wilson Foundation (Gil Hudson)
W. Tom ZurSchmeide, Jr. Foundation (Gil Hudson)
We continue to contact potential members to urge them to enjoy the
special benefits ofmembership in CMF.

VII.

Individual Contributors
At the present time, CMF does not accept individuals as members. The board has
discussed the issue from time to time, with direction to staff that if, and when an
individual(s) is interested, that the issue again be raised. We are not
recommending a change of policy at this time, but wish to inform you that two
individuals have indicated to staff that they are interested in obtaining in depth
information from CMF about their charitable options. They would like to make a
financial contribution to the organization in consideration of the time and
resources needed to serve them. As they consider how to proceed, they would
also like to attend CMF educational programs.

Both expect to make a decision on how they wish to proceed with their charitable
giving options to encompass two CMF annual conference cycles. Staff has
informally discussed a suggested contribution level of$500.
It should be noted that part of CMF's mission is to serve interested donors and
their advisors without charge. Such assistance is usually in the form of
publications, technical assistance by phone, the Annual Conference and
specialized meetings and in some cases, personal meetings. In these two cases,
the donors are interested in making a contribution to CMF. Staff recommends
that we accept the contributions, much as any public charity would accept funds
to fulfill their mission. These two cases would provide important information to
the Membership Committee and management on the issue of accepting
individuals as CMF Members. At the present time, eight Regional Associations
of Grant makers accept individuals as members.

Re:

Progress Report- Private Foundation Payout Study

Tab 9

Page 48

At the June, 1998 board meeting, it was determined that CMF would sponsor with
participating Members a study on private foundation assets and payout that would focus
on actual performance of participating foundations in Michigan. An Advisory Committee,
chaired by Ranny Riecker, was named. (See attached list.) Subsequent to the first
meeting of the Advisory Committee, a Technical Sub-Committee, chaired by Robert E.
Swaney, Jr. was named. (See attached list.)
CMF is most appreciative of the volunteer time of all concerned, but particularly the
Technical Sub-Committee, and its chair, Bob Swaney, who will be with us at the June 4,
1999 CMF board meeting. The attached grant request summarizes the current status and
funding of the project to be undertaken by Cambridge Associates. It is important to note
that first, the study has been expanded to include not only the actual performance of
participating foundations, but an analysis of payout rates on a general level as well.
Cambridge &amp; Associates has historical records, which will make this analysis valuable.
Second, it has been determined that it would be advisable to include a few more national
funders, in addition to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, and the
Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
Cambridge &amp; Associates is preparing a time line for the project with a completion date
targeted for early fall, in anticipation of discussing the study at the CMF 27th Annual
Conference. It is expected that a letter announcing the project will be sent to CMF
Members later this month. CMF staff will be available to help any Member needing
assistance on assembling the data for the thirty-year period, 1968-1998.
It should be noted that contributions to support the study have been received from the
Herbert H. &amp; Grace A. Dow Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Proposals
have also been submitted to the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and The Kresge
Foundation for consideration.

Re:

Progress Report

Tab 1 P~ge 1

At the June 4th Board Meeting I will report in further detail in an Executive Session to
be held at 8:30a.m., but in the meantime want you to have the CEO Specification
Sheet. This material was developed by Toni S. Smith and Susan S. Boren (Spencer
Stuart), in discussion with the Search Committee. The Committee has met three times
and Toni Smith has visited CMF and talked with staffin person and by phone. You
may have seen the recent ad in the Chronicle of Philanthropy, which will be appearing
in other publications. I will be sending a letter to all Cl\fF Members and interested
friends, together with the specification material, in early June.
The next meeting of the Search Committee is scheduled for Friday, July 9th (12:00- 4:00p.m.)
at the University Club, Lansing. It continues to be our goal to bring you a candidate at a fall
meeting of the board, to be scheduled once more information is known. In the meantime, I
hope you will call me or other members of the Search Committee with ideas or issues.

CLIENT ORGANIZATION
The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) was founded in 1973 as a regional association of
grantmakers, to improve, enhance and increase philanthropy in the state of Michigan. Membership
today comprises more than 435 grantmakers throughout the state, and accounts for 90% of the
foundation assets in Michigan. The Council members have become a collegial, networking
community of family, independent, community and corporate foundations, and corporate giving
programs.
CMF is very well known and highly respected, not only in Michigan, but throughout the national
philanthropic community. The Council president and staff work closely with nonprofit, corporate,
government and civic leaders and organizations to both educate and connect the various sectors in
pursuit of effective philanthropy.
As testament to CMF' s credibility, the Council has been entrusted with key support for various
statewide initiatives including the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project, the K-12
Education and Philanthropy Project, and the Michigan AIDS Fund.
Primary activities of the Council include technical assistance and member services; education of
members and others who relate to philanthropy; and advocacy with respect to issues that impact on
philanthropy.
POSITION SUMMARY
The President of the Council of Michigan Foundations provides dynamic professional leadership
throughout the state of Michigan on issues related to philanthropy and foundations. The President
provides leadership, advice and assistance to his/her Board of Trustees in developing and
implementing strategies and policies for enhancing the effectiveness of Michigan's philanthropic
community. The President assures that the organization is optimally staffed to serve and respond to
its diverse members with top quality and up-to-the-minute products and services. The President is
the CMF's primary spokesperson and representative with members of Congress, the Michigan
legislature, the corporate community and the press. He or she plays the same role at the local
community or national level, as appropriate.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Richard K. Rappleye
Chair, Audit &amp; Finance Committee

Re:

CMF &amp; Supporting Organizations' March 31, 1999 Financial Statements

Tab 4 Page 22

Resolved: That the Council of Michigan Foundations' Board of Trustees approve the
March 31, 1999 Financial Report as recommended by the CMF Audit &amp; Finance
Committee.
On May 21, 1999 the CMF Audit &amp; Finance Committee met to review and approve the March
31, 1999 internal statements for CMF, MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund.
Management is proud to report that the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), the Michigan
Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP), and the Michigan AIDS Fund have all
completed another successful year, with excess revenues over expenses exceeding the 1998-99
budgeted surplus.

Consolidated Balance Sheet
Note A: Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents
The relatively high cash balance for MCFYP is due to the short-term nature of the funds required
to meet future challenge grant commitments and community foundations' programming needs
over the next two years.

Note B: Net Assets
With the continued strong performance of the U. S. stock market, the endowment funds for CMF
and MCFYP have reached a current market value of$7, 111,845. The amount listed as passthrough funds represents the funds that will eventually be forwarded to three KYIP sites located
within the State ofMichigan.

Consolidated Statement of Activities &amp; Changes in Net Assets
The net surplus for 1998-99 for MCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund exceeded budget. Prior
to this meeting, the individual boards ofMCFYP and the Michigan AIDS Fund met and
reviewed their March 31, 1999 year-end results in detail. This section of the financial report
therefore focuses on the results for the CMF Core Operations. You will also find a consolidated
statement for the CMF endowment funds that show the actual surplus for 1998-99 exceeded
budget by almost $32,000, with total expenses $9,053 less than budget.

Core Operations Statement of Activities
Note 1: 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.

Note 2: Publications &amp; Library Services
Due to the strong demand for the 11th Edition of the Directory revenue exceeded both budget and
the year-end projected amounts.

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 were 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.

Note 5: Publications
The variance from budget is due to cost associated with the publication of the Directory.

Note 6: Travel
Travel remained under budget for the year due to fewer out-of-state trips taken by staff, and a
concentrated effort to combine trips for more than one purpose, where possible.

Memo to:

Board of Trustees

From:

Susan Howbert, Program Director for Southeast Michigan and Director
Of Family Philanthropy

Re:

Detroit Office-Second Year Report

The operation ofCMF's Detroit office is continuing to progress smoothly. We are most
thankful for the support of this program from the Hudson-Webber Foundation, the
McGregor Fund and the Skillman Foundation. The establishment of a CMF-Detroit
program has resulted in expanded technical assistance, enhanced programming and
increased membership in southeast Michigan.
Over the past year, the following different kinds of events and activities have occurred:
•

New collaborative established
City Connect Detroit, a new Detroit collaboration initiated by The Skillman
Foundation, was established. The members of the collaborative include Accounting
Aid Society, Bank One, City ofDetroit, Community Foundation for Southeastern
Michigan, Council of Michigan Foundations, Detroit Edison Foundation, Detroit
Youth Foundation, Hudson-Webber Foundation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Kresge
Foundation, McGregor Fund, Michigan Nonprofit Association, The Skillman
Foundation, and United Way Community Services. This group of fourteen
grantmakers, city officials, and technical assistance providers have agreed to work
together to increase the capacity of southeast Michigan nonprofits and to bring more
federal and national foundation dollars to Detroit. CMF has provided staff support
since the inception of the idea of the City Connect collaboration in December 1998,
and has been asked by the members of the collaborative to manage the project during
its planning year beginning October 1, 1999.

•

Programs for advisors to the wealthy
Two workshops for advisors to the wealthy, co-sponsored with the Jewish Federation
ofMetropolitan Detroit, were held. The workshops, "The Psychology of Wealth
Transfer in Estate Planning" with Dr. Lee Hausner and "Current Issues in Charitable
Giving and Estate Planning" with Lawrence Katzenstein, Esq. were well-received by
over 200 southeast Michigan lawyers, accountants, investment managers and bankers.

�56

•

Funder/nonprofit workshop series
"Conversations-Strengthening Relationships between Funders and Nonprofits in
Southeast Michigan", a series of three roundtable workshops, which will be offered in
Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties during the spring of2000, have been planned.
The purpose of the workshops is to build relationships between grantmakers and
grantseekers, and to improve the grantmaking process.

•

Technical Assistance expanded
Technical assistance is more accessible to southeast Michigan organizations.
Assistance has been provided to CMF members, new philanthropic programs and
grantseeking organizations, such as The Isiah Thomas Foundation, Delphi
Automotive Systems Corporation, Dense International America, Lear Corporation,
Pepsi Cola Company, Castaing Family Foundation, Shallal Family Foundation, The
Holley Foundation, American Red Cross of Southeastern Michigan and Alternatives
for Girls.

•

Increased membership in CMF by SE Michigan foundations
More than twenty new southeast Michigan members have joined CMF, many as a
result of the technical assistance they received as described above.

•

Enhanced programming for grantmakers and grantseekers
Thirty southeast Michigan grantmakers and grantseekers enjoyed the satellite
broadcast of The White House Conference on Philanthropy: Gifts to the Future on
October 22 at Eastern Michigan University Foundation's Eagle Crest Conference
Resort.
A Women in Philanthropy Book Club was established to build relationships among
women employed in the field of philanthropy in southeast Michigan.

•

Regular participation in SE Michigan grantmakers' meetings and collaboratives and
support of nonprofit events
A staffed Detroit office has allowed for regtilar CMF participation in grantmakers'
meetings such as the ACE Collaborative, Funders' Collaborative, the Program
Officers' Group, and the Regional Detroit Chamber's Business Contributions
Council, in addition to the support of numerous nonprofit community events.

Memo to:

Board of Trustees

From:

Julie F. Cummings, Chair, Family Philanthropy Committee

Re:

Family Philanthropy Report

We are pleased to highlight the following family philanthropy activities:
Recognition of Ann Irish's service as Committee Chair
As I begin my service as Chair of the Family Philanthropy Committee, I would like to
recognize the stellar leadership of my predecessor, Ann Irish, President, Elizabeth E.
Kennedy Fund. Over the past four years, Ann skillfully guided and thoughtfully
developed CMF's family philanthropy program. Her enormous experience with and
understanding of family foundations helped to create an excellent program for donors,
potential donors, and their families, staff, and advisors. Thank you, Ann, for your
enormous contribution to increasing and improving family philanthropy in Michigan.

The Family Philanthropist
The Fall 1999 issue of CMF' s biannual newsletter for philanthropic families was mailed
in October. It features an excerpt from Grantmaking With A Compass: The Challenges of
Geography, a monograph recently published by the National Center for Family
Philanthropy, and an interview with Dottie Johnson with regard to her work with
Michigan's philanthropic families over the past 25 years.
Annual Conference
The Annual Conference is featuring six special family philanthropy sessions:
• "Generations &amp; Geography: Impact on Family Foundations", a special, two-hour preconference, interactive workshop on a topic that can affect all sizes of family
foundations, with Ginny Esposito, President, National Center of Family Philanthropy;
• "Family Foundation Peer Luncheon" sponsored by the Drake-Quinn Family
Charitable Foundation;
• "Conversation with Carmel Borders". Carmel will share what she and her husband
are doing with their Tapestry Foundation as a model of the philanthropic style of
today's new donors;
• "Which Comes First: You or the Money? Are You Perceived as the Community
Wallet?" A panel of grantmakers will discuss lessons they have learned while
juggling community volunteer commitments with foundation trustee responsibilities;

�19

•

•

"White Privilege: Walking in Someone Else's Shoes", an interactive session to allow
participants to better discern their own assumptions, prejudices and
misunderstandings; and,
"What's On Your Mind: A Family Foundation Peer Exchange", an opportunity for
family trustees to discuss family foundation issues with their peers and to offer their
ideas with regard to CMF family philanthropy programming.

A new service to be instituted at this year's conference is the Family Foundation
Hospitality Suite-a place for family foundation trustees to meet and get to know each
other, discuss topics of particular interest to philanthropic families or simply relax for a
few moments. All Board members are encouraged to come by for a visit!
Family Foundation Luncheons and Discussions
Building on the success of the two family foundation luncheons held in Southeast
Michigan last spring, similar events in other regions of the State are being planned for
spring and summer 2000. We are delighted that The Alden and Vada Dow Fund has
offered to host a luncheon on Friday, May 19, 2000 at the Alden Dow Home &amp; Studio for
families from Midland, Bay City and Saginaw.
Family Foundation Membership
Family foundations continue to be the largest membership group for CMF with 23 new
members in the first six months ofthe 1999-2000 fiscal year, bringing the total to 189.
Parfet's to Host Southwest Michigan Donors
Ann and Don Parfet have agreed to host an evening in their home, with potential donors
to explore charitable options. To be held early in 2000, this event will be similar to the
evening in Detroit, hosted by Julie and Peter Cummings.

October 27, 1999
Memo to:

Board of Trustees

From:

Olivia P. Maynard
David B. Kennedy

Re:

Government Relations Committee Report

State Legislation
Senate Bill 796, to strengthen the definition of a community foundation and sponsored by
Senator Schuette, has passed the Senate and has been sent to the House, where it is
anticipated that action will be taken by the end of the year. Mariam Noland and Dottie
Johnson met with House Taxation Chair, Representative Nancy Cassis this summer, and in
recent days, Rob Collier has testified before the Senate Taxation Committee. While good
news that the bill has passed the Senate, we expect even more questions from the House.
The current legislation was proposed and approved by the Community Foundation
Committee, chaired by Jack Hopkins.
House Bill4959, sponsored by Representative Terry Geiger, to allow school systems to
transfer gifts to community foundations, has been approved by the House Education
Committee with supporting testimony be Geiger and Rob Collier. Approval by the House is
expected shortly. Rob Collier will join Representative Geiger in testifying before the Senate
Education Committee, chaired by Senator Bennett, in early December.
Federal Legislation
As you know, the 1999 tax bill, which included legislation pertaining to gifting of IRA's to
charitable organizations for individuals over 72 years of age, was vetoed by the President. It
is expected that this issue and others will be addressed early in 2000. CMF will work with
COF and the other regional associations of grantmakers, to get other issues noted on the
CMF Legislative Goal Statement included.
Hearings on H.R. 887, a bill to require corporations to be "more accountable" to
shareholders, are to be held Friday, October 29, 1999, in the Committee on Commerce.
Under the terms of the bill this accountability would come in two forms:
•

First, corporations would be required to disclose in the annual proxy, any
contributions (above a threshold amount to be determined by the SEC) made to a
nonprofit organization of which a corporate director (or his/her spouse) was also a
director of the beneficiary nonprofit organization.

•

Second, corporations would disclose to their shareholders, in a format to be
determined by the SEC, the total value of contributions made to nonprofit
organizations in the previous fiscal year, and those individual contributions which
exceed a threshold amount (also to be determined by the SEC).

�21

Three Michigan Congressman are members of the Commerce Committee: Congressmen
Dingell, Stupak, and Upton. COF General Counsel, John Edie, has asked the Council of
Michigan Foundations to contact each of them to gain further insight on the issue.
Note: Maureen H. Smith, Vice President, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, is a member
of the COF Legislation &amp; Regulation Committee.
Private Foundation Payout Study
Work continues on the CMF -sponsored payout study, being undertaken by Cambridge &amp;
Associates. You will recall, that the study to be completed in the next three months, will look
at the ACTUAL investment performance of a group of private foundations for thirty years,
beginning in 1968, as well as to include historical information and some hypothetical
portfolios. Two advisors have been added to the project to provide technical expertise .... Dr.
Charles T. Clotfelter, Professor of Economics, Duke University, and Dr. Saul H. Hymans,
Professor of Economics &amp; Statistics, University of Michigan. At this stage, more than 50
private foundations are included in the study, primarily from Michigan.
Robert E. Swaney, Vice President, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, chairs the Technical
Sub-Committee. Thanks go to him and Paul Lawler, Mike Sweeney, Ed Hunia, Nick
Gabriel, and others for their hard work on the project.
In recent weeks, two other studies have been published by the National Network of
Grantmakers and the Committee on Responsive Philanthropy. A hypothetical study is
expected to be published by the Council on Foundations, early in 2000. Once the CMF data
has been reviewed by the Technical Sub-Committee, a meeting of the Advisory Committee,
chaired by Ranny Riecker, will be held.
CMF Visits Capitol Hill with RAGS on the Hill
We hope you will reserve February 1 and 2, 2000, when CMF will once again visit the
Michigan delegation in Washington, D. C., to discuss issues important to philanthropy, in
addition to explaining to the legislators the work of your organization. This will be the sixth
annual CMF visit, which includes an evening dinner Tuesday, February 1, 2000, (this year
hosted by S. Martin Taylor, Vice President-Corporate &amp; Public Affairs,
The Detroit Edison Company), as well as the University of Michigan Capitol Hill Breakfast,
the RAGS/COF luncheon, and other activities. As before, accommodations have been
reserved at the Monarch Hotel (previously the ANA Hotel), with dinner to be held at the
1789 Restaurant. We are in hopes that several CMF Members and Board of Trustee
Members will join us. CMF will join our colleagues from throughout the country, under the
sponsorship of the Forum of Regional Associations and COF.

Memo to:

Board of Trustees

From:

Russell G. Mawby
Robert S. Collier

Re:

Increasing Philanthropy Efforts

Page 15

The purpose of this memorandum is to share information on two new efforts that contribute
to our goal to Increase Philanthropy in Michigan.
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 of Michigan," 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
(Participated with The Philanthropic Initiative in interviewing 70 Michigan advisors;
CMF committee of ten 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 &amp; Philanthropy Project
Michigan AIDS Fund

Project for New Ventures in Philanthropy

As you know the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers operates a special regranting initiative called New Ventures in Philanthropy that Dottie Johnson chairs. While
CMF did not apply for a grant from New Ventures in the initiative's first year, we have
applied for a grant in this second year.
The purpose of the $90,000 two-year Project, is to work with three minority professional
advisor associations: the Lansing and Flint Chapters of the National Association of Black
Accountants, the Lansing Black Lawyers Association, and the Hispanic Bar Association of
Michigan, in providing their members with the tools to help their clients with organized
charitable giving options.
The eight primary activities of the Project can be summarized as follows:
1. To conduct a pre and post survey of the members of the targeted partners on the
promotion of philanthropy with their clients
2. To prepare and distribute 250 copies of a culturally-sensitive packet for Advisors on
Tools for Giving
3. To develop 20 stories on Hispanic and African American donors and distribute 250 discs
to advisors
4. To present a session on philanthropy at regular meetings of each of the partner
organizations
5. To hold three regional meetings annually on philanthropy with the membership of the
coalition partners in the cities of Flint, Lansing and Grand Rapids. Each day-long
meeting shall have an half-day agenda designed for accountants, and an half-day agenda
designed for lawyers
6. To provide 100 copies of Establishing a Charitable Foundation to the partner
organizations
7. To develop and test two ads for use in advisor publications used by the members of the
partner organizations
8. To assist two of the partners in placing information on the promotion of philanthropy and
organized grantmaking on their web sites ·

Additional collaborating partners with CMF will be the African-American Legacy Project of
the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, the community foundations in Flint,
Lansing, and Grand Rapids, and the local chapters of the National Society of Fund Raising
Executives (NSFRE). The Project is also able to build on the work for advisors that Williams
Marketing Services is doing for the Community Foundation Venture Products Fund. If
funding is not received for the Project, CMF will still proceed with activity four with each of
the three minority professional associations, so that new relationships to promote
philanthropy continue to be made.

Study on Michigan Giving

Professor Mark Wilson, Director of the Nonprofit Michigan Project of the Institute for Social
Research at Michigan State University, has launched the 1999 Survey ofMichigan
Philanthropy with support form CMF's Mawby Fund and the Aspen Institute's Michigan
Nonprofit Research Fund. The Survey will interview 1,500 residents across the state making
it possible to identify charitable giving patterns in the 10 most populous counties and the City
of Detroit.
The Survey of Philanthropy will focus on two major elements of giving by Michigan
residents:
Giving Behavior
• Contributions of money to nonprofit and community organizations
• Contributions through wills and bequests
• Time spent volunteering
• Sources of giving values
Caring, Confidence and trust
• Importance of living in a caring community
• Confidence in nonprofit and community organizations
• Role of nonprofit and religious organizations in daily life
Results of the Survey will be available for distribution in spring 2000. The current lack of
detailed data on philanthropy makes a survey of this type a valuable resource for CMF, MNA
and our other nonprofit partners in the state.

Memo To:

Council ofMichigan Foundations' Board of Trustees

From:

Robert E. Swaney, Jr., Chair, CMF Investment Committee

RE:

September 30, 1999 Investment Report

Page 12

Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the September 30, 1999
Investment Report.
The enclosed Investment Performance Report summarizes the asset allocation and
twelve-month internal rate of return for the Council of Michigan Foundations and
supporting organizations' permanent funds, for the period ended September 30, 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 September 30, 1999. An additional schedule has been provided as of
June 30, 1999, that compares the one year actual returns to a quarterly report from
Cambridge and Associates, Inc. entitled Comparative Asset Allocation and Total Return.
This report summarizes the returns for endowments of colleges and universities,
independent schools, museums and libraries, foundations, medical endowments, and
other institutions. The June 30, 1999, report was the latest report available from
Cambridge.
On the September 30, 1999, Investment Performance Report you will note that the
William Allen Fund two year return exceeded the other endowment funds by
approximately 1%. This variance can be explained by the fact that during the first six
months of 1998 the Allen Fund was reallocating the equities portion ofthe portfolio from
actively managed to index funds.

Individual Philanthropist
At the October 14, 1999 Board meeting, the Board approved a policy change to
accept individual philanthropists as CMF members. The membership policy has
been established and accepted by the Board, a copy of which is attached to this
memo. Although CMF continues to be supportive and encourage organized
philanthropy, we recognize the need to be supportive of new, innovative and
emerging charitable giving.
Two individuals have become members based on this newly adopted membership
policy. Staff will continue to work with them as they organize and formalize their
philanthropic giving.

We continue to learn of newly formed, primarily family, foundations. CMF staff
responds with membership packets and personal visits, when appropriate. The Board has
been terrific, recruiting clients and friends, and introducing them to CMF's many
programs and services. The potential is great to continue to increase and grow our
membership base.

Re:

New Plan for the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project and
CMF's Supporting Organization for Community Foundations

The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) was started with two
goals: to provide every citizen in the state with access to a community foundation and to
engage youth as grantrnakers. These two goals have been completed. There are now 61
certified community foundations with 34 geographic affiliate funds covering all 83
counties. There are now 86 community foundations youth advisory committees (YACs)
with permanent endowed youth funds established with nearly $46 million in challenge
funds from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation. Therefore, 1999 marks a year of transition for
MCFYP as the Kellogg Youth Challenge is completed.
The staff and CMF Community Foundations Committee have developed the following
plan that was presented and approved by both the MCFYP Board of Trustees and the
CMF Board of Trustees at their meetings on October 14, 1999. The plan addresses the
following three goals:
1. To continue to support youth as grantmakers through theY AC model and engage
YAC members in the design and implementation of technical assistance provided.
CMF has approved a bylaw change to create a permanent standing advisory committee
that shall be known as the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Committee.
The Committee of up to 15 shall have a majority of its members be YAC members of
alums under the age of 21 . The Committee shall oversee the technical assistance
activities such as the regional trainings, adventure tours, site visits, Mawby intern, and
mcfyp web site. The initial committee members have been drawn from the MCFYP
Board of Trustees and State Youth Advisory Board. The list of these names is included
in the report to the CMF Board from the Supporting Organization.
2. To continue to provide intensive technical assistance to community foundations with
a focus on the community foundations with assets of less than $1 0 million.
MCFYP and CMF have approved transfer of the Board Designated Fund with assets of
$5 million, to CMF to become the permanent endowed Community Foundations Fund.
This Fund has been accumulated over the last eight years, with approval of theW. K.
Kellogg Foundation, from the interest earned on the investment of early payments by
Kellogg ofthe Youth Challenge Funds to MCFYP. This Fund shall be overseen by

�34

CMF's Community Foundations Committee and starting in 2001 , its income shall be used
to continue the special technical assistance now being provided by MCFYP with Kellogg
Foundation support to small community foundations. The list of initial Michigan
Community Foundation's Ventures (MCFV) Board members is included in the report to
the CMF Board from the Supporting Organization.
3. To continue to operate a supporting organization that can support the special
collaborative initiatives of community foundations, such as the Venture Products Fund.
CMF has approved effective January 1, 2000, the renaming ofthe supporting
organization now known as MCFYP to Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures
(MCFV) with a revised purpose to support special collaborative initiatives that will
contribute to continued asset development, proactive grantmaking, and community
leadership by Michigan community foundations that meet and operate in accord with
basic standards. The new Board ofMCFV will be the CMF Community Foundations
Committee expanded to include representatives from the smaller community foundations
as well as all regions of the state. The primary project of MCFV is the venture Products
Fund that is developing community foundation products and communication tools for
local, regional, and state-wide use.
It is important to state that the standards serving as a requirement for participation in

MCFV will not affect the membership of community foundations in CMF. CMF will
continue to be the nurturing organization with a goal to help all of the community
foundations be able to meet the standards. Attached is a copy of the Standards that will
be presented on November 2 to the community foundations . These Standards
compliment the standards being developed at the national level by the Community
Foundations Committee of the Council on Foundations.
Finally, we have included for your review, the final list of the 87 community foundations
and affiliates that received Youth Challenge grants over the past eight years, along with
1998 examples submitted by community foundations, of grants that make a difference,
leadership activities, and of proactive YAC grants. There are now 86 YACs because the
Hudsonville YAC is being folded into the Grand Rapids Foundation YAC.

DRAFT- 10/8/99
Standards for Michigan Community Foundations

The community foundations ofMichigan recognize that we live in an age in which professions and
fields of work are expected to have and to follow standards that promote both accountability and
the highest ethical behavior by all parties. Recent incidents in the operations of national and
regional non-profit and philanthropic organizations have pointed out the need for standards in the
nonprofit sector. In addition, a vital partner in the continued growth of the community foundation
field, are those professions that serve as advisors to the wealthy - lawyers, accountants, financial
planners, etc. - all professions with standards.
Because we recognize our responsibility to our donors and our communities to have the best
possible philanthropic organizations to respond to the wishes of donors and the needs of
communities, the community foundations ofMichigan have developed standards for our field in
Michigan. We believe that the following standards will help assure donors and their advisors of
consistent performance in the operations of all community foundations in Michigan and contribute
to the success of any joint marketing and donor development efforts - both statewide and
regionally. These standards are proposed in addition to the requirements of state and federal law
and are supported by the Community Foundations Best Principles and Practices adopted by the
Community Foundations Committee of the Council ofMichigan Foundations. In addition they
have been designed to complement the development of national standards by the Community
Foundations Committee of the Council on Foundations.
Evidence of the implementation of these standards has been adopted as a requirement for
participation in Michigan Community Foundation Ventures (MCFV), the supporting organization
of the Council ofMichigan Foundations. The purpose ofMCFV is to support the joint activities
of community foundations in Michigan which will contribute to increased asset development,
proactive grantmaking and community leadership. It is the hope of the Board of Trustees of
MCFV that every community foundation will strive to implement these standards and seek
assistance from the Council ofMichigan Foundations in doing so.

EXAMPLES OF
PROACTIVE AND CREATIVE GRANTS MADE BY
YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEES
Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
This matching grant initiative provided startup support with community donations in
response to the Youth Council'S Teen Center Challenge. This grant not only helped to
make the dream of a teen center a reality, but also generated broad community support.
Barry Community Foundation
A grant to the Hastings Junior Chamber of Commerce established the Yell ow Ribbon
Project that creates awareness of teen suicide and its prevention. This project includes
letters to parents of high school students, distribution of cards to all teens and provides
information during study hall periods on how to use your card if you are in a crisis
situation. On the first day of distribution, a young man turned his card in to a counselor,
seeking help.
Battle Creek Community Foundation
The Habitat for Humanity- Student I.M.P.A.C.T. grant had the most impact. The
community was able to see youth address a social issue in a realistic way. The YAC
raised the money, put up walls, etc. They were in charge of the project.
Bay Area Community Foundation

Berrien Community Foundation
Benton Harbor middle school students now have the opportunity to experience the
excitement of sailing on Lake Michigan. Thanks to a grant from the Berrien Community

dynamics and benefits of teamwork. The students are also learning about the
environment and how important fresh water is to our survival.
Branch County Community Foundation
The YAC issued an RFP to organizations addressing ongoing substance abuse prevention
for teens. SADD groups from the 4 local school districts received funds. Youth for

well as the community, benefitted from the programs.
Charlevoix County Community Foundation
In 1997, the YAC awarded Planned Parenthood Northern Michigan a grant to develop
and pilot a male responsibility program aimed at adolescent boys. The goal of the
program was to reduce teen pregnancy by impacting adolescent males' self-esteem,
communication skills, knowledge of sexuality and contraception and decision-making
skills. An adult male leader and male peer educators facilitate the program. Initial

�41
feedback from participants showed such positive results that, in 1998, the program was

principles and see them in actual stage production at the Community Performing Arts
Center. The workshop involved many professionals from the community working with
the youth for the play Scrooge: Stingiest Man in Town.

Grand Rapids Community Foundation
The Youth Committee has supported summer programming at the Grand Rapids
Metropolitan YMCA for four years. Through the YAC's most recent grant, the YMCA's
summer middle school program will offer middle school-aged youth the opportunity to
get together with peers at the downtown or West YMCAs five nights a week, instead of
three nights a week as in previous years.
This gives youth a place to go away from environments of substance abuse and violent
behavior.
Gratiot County Community Foundation
A YAC grant supported a cultural trip by 3'd graders from one of the depressed
elementary schools in our county for a cultural trip. The students only asked for funds for
bus transportation, and earned admission to the event themselves. The fact that the
request was only for part of the event, with the students earning the remainder, had a
great impact on the YAC members.
Hillsdale County Community Foundation
A grant was made to the student council of Pittsford High School for an "American
Humanities Live" project. This became a community activity involving all the children

computer use on a 1 to 1 basis. Senior "students" write a brief history of their lives,
which is accessible via a web page, and learn to e-mail.
Michigan Gateway Community Foundation
This grant facilitated a peer tutoring program presented by senior Spanish students for
new Spanish-speaking children in Buchanan schools. In the course of helping the
students with their school work, the high school students were called upon to help parents
translate their school and social needs and concerns as well. The good of the grant
expanded from helping individual children do better in school to helping families blend
more effectively into the community, which became more open and welcoming to
cultural diversity.
Midland Foundation
The grant the YAC believes has had the greatest impact is the Circle of Health
Partnership's "Teens Teaching Teens" grant. This is a peer education program, which
teaches students about drugs and alcohol so they can teach their peers. The program has
been quite successful. Thirty students completed the training and have had the
opportunity to make a significant impact as they have trained over 200 more students.
Community Foundation for Muskegon County
One ofthe most significant YAC grants was to the Michigan Pine and Dunes Girl Scout
Council. On the Girl Scouts property, there was an inaccessible low-lying wetland
habitat area. With help from the YAC grant, the Girl Scouts made this area accessible to
physically disabled youth by building a new trail system. Their science program serves
over 2,000 youth a year and is one of the few that focus on pond and wetland habitat in
the county.
Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
A grant given to Get Excited And Rally (G.E.A.~.) is supporting construction of a

which is away from the congested downtown area. This grant, along with funds from
other local organizations, is making the permanent park a reality.
Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
Early, unintended pregnancy is always a concern. Instead of going the easy route and
expanding our conventional sex ed programs, our YAC is encouraging some new
approaches in our communities. For example, we helped fund an innovative project

�43

aimed at helping teenage boys change their attitudes about gender roles, dating, and risky
behavior; continued support ofMERlT, a far-reaching program that helps young girls
develop life goals, make healthy decision, and steer clear of peer pressure; and made a
grant to "Who's in Charge?", a program that promotes teen responsibility and abstinence.

County.
Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan
At Western International High School, a youth grant has helped create a system to assist
students in tracking their school's sports statistics while improving participants' math
skills. The program, called The All Sports Club, teaches youth how to track and interpret
statistics. In addition, participants attend three college sporting events to see how
statistics are tracked at the college level. The students then share their experiences with
middle school students, learning relationship skills in the process.
Sturgis Foundation
The YAC provided a grant to Youth for Christ to initiate after school programming for
middle school children.

Grants That Make a Difference
Summaries of 1998 grants submitted by community foundations for their community impact

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
A grant to assist in the development of a pilot outreach program for high-risk homeless addicts.
Committed to breaking the cycle of addiction, Dawn Farm proposed a transitional facility that
supports addicts and alcoholics that are chronically homeless and unemployed. The grant funds were
used to support research for a pilot program that Ann Arbor never had. The week after the grant was
approved, Dawn Farm was approached with the opportunity to rent a former crack house and set up
the transitional program. It was so successful in its first year of operation, Dawn Farm has recently
purchased an 18-unit apartment complex to provide more transitional housing.
Barry Community Foundation
A matching grant to the Delton Area Senior Housing Committee to purchase equipment and furniture
for the common areas of the Country View Senior Housing Project. The HUD grant did not allow
for the "extras" that are necessary for a housing development of this nature. With the assistance of
this matching grant, the Housing Committee was able to purchase all of the equipment necessary for
the residents to enjoy a desirable quality oflife.
Bay Area Community Foundation
Childcare needs are very high in Bay County. It has been proven that, sometimes, many lower
income parents can not hold down steady jobs due to childcare needs and demands. Many parents in
our area have a difficult time finding affordable quality daycare on a minimum wage job. Campfire
Boys &amp; Girls ofMidland, Bay and Saginaw Counties are now providing quality affordable childcare
in Bay City thanks to a grant from our Foundation. The average daily charge is $10 per student, but
scholarships are awarded to families who cannot afford the tuition. There is now one less obstacle
preventing some community members from keeping or getting a job.
Berrien Community Foundation
During the past two years, an unusually high number of children lost their lives due to home fires in
Berrien County. The Berrien Community Foundation had a big impact in bringing Little Squirt out of
the repair shop and back on the road. This grant also expanded the number of schools Little Squirt
could visit to teach children to 11 stop, drop, and roll. 11 One of the most unusual teaching tools, Little
Squirt is having a positive impact on the fire safety education of children and their parents.
Branch County Community Foundation
The Foundation helped fund the Dearth Community Center. There was no single location that
nonprofits could rent that would accommodate 800 people. Community organizations and individuals
can now rent the center for volunteer appreciation activities and other community events.

classes are now filled at each session.
Midland Foundation
Two projects have particular significance. Grants were made to Meridian Public Schools in support
of "Project Pride" for renovation of the outdoor athletic facilities of the district that impacts all the
youth and many of the residents of the Sanford area. An additional multi-year project, "Restore the

Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation
Even in so bountiful an area as ours, safe, affordable housing remains elusive for many families. Two
substantial grants this year went to the Char-Em Housing Coalition and Habitat for Humanityorganizations that are doing their best to make certain no one is left out as housing prices and land
costs continue to rise.
Community Foundation of Greater Rochester
Our largest and most visible grants were awarded to two local community projects: Rotary Gateway
Park and Veterans Memorial Pointes. These are both highly visible and received much publicity.
Community Foundation of St. Clair County
The purchase of a telemedicine communication system for the Visiting Nurses Association allows
nurses to monitor patients from a central nursing station, while the patient remains in the comfort of

listen to heart and lung sounds.
Sault Area Community Foundation
A grant was used to purchase water testing equipment by the Munuscong River Watershed
Association, for use by area high school environmental classes. This information is placed in database

project promotes goodwill, volunteerism and concern for the local environment and its impact on the
surrounding community.
Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan

Summaries of 1998 leadership activities submitted by Community Foundations.

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
The Foundation's Distribution Committee targeted housing and homelessness as a grant focus for
1998. In an effort to leverage the Foundation's funds, a group of20-25 service providers were

Community Foundations Report
Mr. Hopkins introduced Mr. Robert Tobin, Principal of Williams Marketing Services, in

three needs of community foundations. The three needs are: to know more about targeted
potential donor groups, to have a common product portfolio that could include new donor
products, and to have a common communications tool kit to work both with advisors to
the wealthy and with targeted donor groups. Mr. Hopkins indicated that this four-year
effort is making progress, and that community foundations are excited about the tools that
are being developed.
Mr. Hopkins also commented on the success of the Kellogg Youth Challenge, with
special events planned in Marquette and Battle Creek in September, to mark the end of
this successful challenge to create permanent youth endowed funds throughout Michigan.
