Mawby and Kathryn A. Agard Re: Update on Learning to Give As Attachment A - the progress report indicates, great activity is taking place at Learning to Give. Because the majority of current fund ing ends between December 31, 200 l and March 3 l , 2002, the Steering Committee is focusing on funding strategies. This memo provides brief highlights on these funding strategies. We will have more news to share at the Board Meeting. I. Federal Government We have retained the fmn of Alcalde & Fay that is working with us on federal funding of a five million dollar, two-year, nine-state pilot. The pilot is summarized in Attachment B. Congressmen Ehlers, Hoekstra, Upton and Kildee are all being most helpful in our efforts to have this fund ed as part of the President's expanded funding for character education. An invitation has been extended to First Lady Laura Bush to serve as Honorary Chair of a National Advisory Committee. Alcade & Fay has a focus on educational issues and serve as lobbyists for Grand Valley State University and the Houston Public Schools. II. Corporate Discussions are underway with Ogilvie Worldwide and two of their clients about possible funding for the leamingtogive.org website. The goal is to have an interactive website that can provide online professional development for teachers interested in being better prepared to deliver the Learning to Give lesson plans as part of their daily classroom work. III. Foundation Funding Bill Richardson, who is also Chair of the Council on Foundations, aided Kathy and Rob Collier in providing a briefing for Dot Ridings, President of the Council on Foundations, on her March 22 visit to Michigan. Kathy and Rob are working with Dot's staff to develop a communications strategy for helping to raise the awareness of Learning to Give within the philanthropic community. Requests are being submitted to present funders, such as the Lilly Endowment. Anonymous, and Kaufman for continued support. In addition, we are approaching regional funders for support in five of the targeted states identified in the federal initiative. As Dottie Johnson has pointed out, the stars seem to be a ligned with Washington, and we need to develop "passion partners" with foundations in five key states. We look forward to discussing these strategies wilh you at the Board meeting. �42 Council of Michigan Foundations ATTACHMENT A Learning to Give Progress Update Units and Lessons Themes: A proposal to support the establishment of a national level content advisory committee has been approved by The Fetzer Institute. The first committee will meet in early October 2001 . The committee will review the philanthropy strands, standards and benchmarks; agree to write about the project in their professional journals; and represent the project on occasion.

Summer Writers: Sixteen teachers each are scheduled to write lessons and units targeted to complete the unexplored benchmarks this summer. Fairness Review: Three meetings were held of the Fairness Review Committee {five days of meetings in total) . The Committee was expanded to include new members. They have reviewed all of the new lessons. Subsequent meetings are scheduled in July and August to review the new summer lessons, and to complete evaluation of the draft test questions. Field-testing: Continues. Field-test teachers' comments continue to be very positive. A new and sophisticated database tracking system is being completed. This will provide an easy platform for analysis of return rates, teacher participation, and other key management data regarding field-testing . Publication of Lessons: Lessons continue to be published and sold, as well as available for free on the web. Parent Involvement: National research on Parent Involvement, sponsored by the McGregor Fund, is completed. Small group discussions were held with separate parenUcaregiver groups and teacher groups at Van Zile Elementary School and Chadsey High School of the Detroit Public School District; and with elementary and secondary parents/caregivers and teachers in the Southfield Public Schools. Family involvement strategies have been added to the new lessons and will now be �43 included as a part of the teacher professional development this summer. Two publications are under development. The first is a technical report written for educators, the second is a "user friendly" report written for parents and other interested parties. Teacher Support Materials White House Conference Video-tape: Through the leadership of CMF, the South Carolina Public Broadcasting Station edited a video of the White House Conference on Philanthropy. The video and a high school lesson, and middle school lesson are being distributed to school principals in Michigan for placement in their building resource center. Briefing Papers Papers have been written by graduate students at Indiana University, and Grand Valley State University. These papers are currently being received from the fall semester. It is anticipated another 20-25 papers will be added to the Web site by June. In addition, the first major review of literature "Great Expectations" is completed. This review analyzes the philanthropic themes expressed in the book. Two English teachers have been recruited to continue this type of analysis, helping to build the teacher resources beyond the social studies. High School Textbook: A proposal for a high school level textbook, student workbook, teacher workbook, and CD-ROM has been funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation through a challenge grant. Proposals to meet the challenge have been sent. Once funding is secured, there is an eighteen month schedule for the writing . Preliminary conversations are also underway with potential publishers. Other Teacher Materials: Teacher resources continue to be developed including: The newest teacher support materials are vignettes, with pictures, of the founders of major foundations nationally and in Michigan. These vignettes bring a human face to the work of foundations. We will continue to build this resource. Pilot Schools Pilot schools are buildings that have committed to teaching lessons at each grade level within at least one building in their district. Dr. Dennis VanHaitsma has been representing LTG in recruiting the pilot schools. Currently twenty schools have either made the commitment or are in the final stages of seeking approval and will begin piloting the lessons in the fall. Assessment The standardized tests have been framed regarding length and type of questions. Draft questions at grades 5, 8, and 11 have been written for benchmarks in themes 1 and 2 (Definition of Philanthropy and Philanthropy and Civil Society). Themes 3 and 4 are currently being reviewed . The Fairness Review Committee will be evaluating the questions this summer. �44 Professional iOevelopment Masters Degree in Philant hropy Education Ferris State University is very interested in developing a Masters Degree in Education with a concentration in philanthropy. Many of the classes will be offered online, providing the opportunity for all of our field-test teachers across the country to participate. An initial potential pool of PhD level adjunct faculty members is currently being recruited. During the next few months the program will be designed for submission to Ferris for final consideration. Continuing Education and Graduate Credit Continuing Education and Graduate Credit will be offered for the summer institutes at Olivet College (graduate credit through Central Michigan University).

By teaching the "civic face" of good character, Learni11g to Give is educating the next generation of leaders about opportunities offered by the nonprofit sector, a sector representing 13% of the US economy. More than 900 teachers in 30 states are now using 500 plus lesson plans created and tested by teachers in Michigan and Missouri. The response from teachers has been overwhelmingly positive. "Students need to know that I heir acts have value in aiding their neighbors, their community. and their world," third grade teacher. National and regional private foundations have invested more than $3 million to date in Learning to Give, and there is strong interest in continuing to develop lesson plans on philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. However, the help of the federal government is needed in distributing and promoting the use of these lesson plans so that more of our children can benefit from the value that giving and serving add to character education. Signs suggesting a decline in civic engagement in our society can be seen in a demise of courtesy in commonplace transactions (road rage); in a declining commitment to family (too little time spent with children); in a lack of community spirit (neighborhoods where people keep to themselves); and in political disengagement across the land (empty voting booths and public cynicism about current affairs). Several major national studies confirm the reality of these impressions. The role of an educated citizenry knowledgeable and committed to individual rights and community responsibility is centerpiece of the belief system that holds the nation together. Designed by active classroom teachers, the Learning to Give lessons are teacher-tested and standards-based through a rigorous quality assurance process assuring fairness, age appropriateness, and adaptability. Service-learning is incorporated as a part of every unit. The lessons, with teacher and student resource materials, are offered for free on the Leamingtogive.org website. The lessons can also be freely used by youth educators, religious instructors, or others interested in citizen education in democracy. LearnitJg to Give seeks $5 million in federal support for a two year, nine state pilot. Leveraging continued private foundation funds, this is the next step in providing teachers in every K-12 classroom with easy to use lessons on giving and serving through state-based and locally designed implementation strategies. Working through universities in California, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Texas, and Wisconsin, Learning to Give will partner to provide the materials, teacher professional development, technical support, and additional fund-raising assistance needed to �47 assure the infusion of the lessons in grades K-12 of at least twenty school districts in each of these states. Interested. univ~rsities will be selected in these states because of both their strong graduate programs m philanthropy and nonprofit management and undergraduate programs in K-12 teacher preparation. The results from investing in these eight demonstration states will include: • 1.400 teachers using the lessons in 140 new pilot school districts (districts integrating the content in to their K- 12 curriculum) • 70,000 K-12 students participating in two or more units of study on giving and serving each year • 540 new publications to s upport classroom learning (briefing papers, posters, and other collateral materials) • 450 new Teacher-Consultants (classroom teachers prepared to provide peer education on Learning to Give through workshops and in-service seminars) • 500 new lesson plans related to giving and serving • 28 new underg raduate education courses for pre-service teachers focused on the role of citizen participation-giving and serving-in a democracy • 52 new internship opportunities for teachers and nonprofit graduate students to work directly in the nonprofit field While based in Muskegon Michigan, Leaming to Give has been endorsed by a number of national organizations including the Council on Foundations, Independent Sector, the National Association of School Boards, the National AJliance of Business CoaJjtion for Education Reform, and the National Council for Social Studies. A national advisory committee of key representatives from the public, private, and non-profit sectors is being formed to complement the core technical committee that has representatives from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. An invitation has been extended to First Lady Laura Bush to be honorary chair of tbe National Committee. L earni11g to Give commits to continuing to provide lessons and other products to teachers, students, parents, and community leaders for free via the Internet as a model of the process and benefits of"voluntary citizen action intended for the common good"-philanthropy. This is only possible through the financial support of the federal government in this unique public -private partnership. "I hope to help my students develop a sense oftheir function in their communities. It is an essential task in a world needing to maintain community", a high school teacher.

Slate of Officers for 2001-2002 In accordance with the bylaws of CMF, Article IV, Section 2, the Annual Meeting of the Board for the appointment of officers shall be held during the months of April, May or June each year- the first meeting after the April I start of the Fiscal Year. Therefore the following slate of officers was approved by the Nominating Committee today and is presented for your consideration. There are three changes to note in this slate of officers. First, we are deeply appreciative of the leadership provided by Ranny during this past two years of transition at CMF and thank David for his will ingness to be the new Chair. Second, Julie is being recommended for Vice Chair-Private, instead of Secretary, to replace David in that position. Third, we are recommending that the position ofSecretaryffreasurer be combined as allowed by the bylaws and appreciate Dick's willingness to assume both responsibilities. This third recommendation is being made because the duties of the Secretary are minimal and combining the two positions is common practice according to the National Center for Nonprofit Boards.

Phase I of planning - covering September 2000 through April2001- included Board and Executive Committee meetings, data gathering via focus groups and a Member survey, and intensive staff work. Major accomplishments of Phase I include: • Completion of internal and external factors and trends reported in " Writing the Next Chapter" (Tobin), " Key Trends Affecting CMF" (stall), and the analysis ofCMF's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) (Board and staff). • Completion and analysis of focus groups and surveys to obtain member input involving: a focus group of eight members from family, corporate. community, and independent foundations in the southeastern region; four focus groups with 19 "next generation" family foundation members, and a Member survey to which 235 members responded. • Completion of a draft strategic plan comprised of a new vision statement, beliefs/values statements, major goals and key strategies to achieve those, and benchmarks or metrics to be used in measuring CMF's success in achieving its new goals. Phase II of the Strategic Plan will occur between May and October 200 I. Key objectives for this phase are: • • • Refining aJI components of the plan based on Board input obtained at its May 2001 meeting. The major focus of the refinement will be finalizing major goals and adding key strategies and tactics to achieve those. Completing a plan for the internal reorganization of CMF to strengthen its infrastructure in support of achieving the new strategic plan. Presenting the plan to members at the Fall 200 1 Annual Conference. �ATTACHMENT A 3 Minutes of March 22. 2001 Executive Committee Strategic Planning Session On March 22, 2001 , members of the Executive Committee, Board and CMF staff, met for a strategic planning session. Vicki Rosenberg opened the meeting and then turned it over to Bob Tobin, who facilitated the session. Data-gathering. The first issue discussed was the status of data-gathering efforts. Members briefly discussed: (1) FERA's report ofthe February 1, 2001 focus group in Detroit that involved nine members representing corporate, independent, fam ily, and community foundations; and (2) the final version of the Member Survey which was distributed to CMF's key contact person in each member organization. As a result of this discussion, members requested that CMF find ways to collect data from "next generation" family foundation members. SWOT Analysis: The second issued discussed was the draft SWOT analysis (SWOT= strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats). Members suggested the following changes to the analysis: • • • • Strengths: (1) change "Michigan's strong base of organized phHanthropy" to Michigan's strong culture of philanthropy; (2) add collegiality; (3) change "comprehensive knowledge" to "global knowledge". Weaknesses (1) add "imbalance of influence and service based on member type and size." Opportunities: (1) add "CMF's roJe as an effective connector of different constituency types". Threats: (I) add "segregating members by type "which members believe threatens member to member exchange and learning; (2) add "for profit competition for members and member services", and (3) change "diminished relationship with state legis lature due to terms limits" to" diminished relationships with state government". Values: The third issue discussed was the list of values drafted by CMF staff. Members suggested the following regarding this Hst: (I) remove "nonpartisanship" and consider replacing it with "neutrality"; (2) add "common good"; (3) keep "servant-leadership"; (4) remove "relationships" because it is implicit in "inclusivity" which was also on the list. Vision: The fo urth issue discussed was a draft vision statement. Members discussed several key ideas to be included in the vis ion statement, including "civility", "common good", and the difference between the work of CMF and the work of its members. A final suggestion was made to revise the statement to read "To engage the citizens of Michigan in effective philanthropy, contributjng to the common good." There was agreement that this was an improvement over the previous version, but needed additional work. Vicki Rosenberg thanked the Committee for its input and assured them that staff would followup on their request to gather data from "next generation" family foundation members and continue working on the SWOT, values, and vision statements for review at the May I 0, 200 I Strategic Planning session in Midland.

Collier Re: Summary of Data Gathering Focus Group & Member Survey Introduction In winter 2001, CMF hired Formative Evaluation Research Associates (FERA) to design and implement two data gathering efforts to provide significant member input to the strategic planning process. These included: • A February 1, 2001 focus group held in Detroit with nine CMF members representing independent, community, and family foundations and corporate giving programs ranging in asset size from under 5 million dollars to $100 million or more with I to over I 0 years experience. Members included paid and volunteer staff, trustees, and one donor. • A Member s urvey disseminated to CMF's key contact person, in all487-member organizations, requesting responses from at least two individuals-- a senior staff member and trustee, or, for family foundations, two trustees ifthere were no paid staff. Attachment 2(A) provides aggregate data on: o The importance of and CMF's effectiveness in addressing its six purpose areas; o The importance ofCMF serving as an intermediary o The importance ofCMF sharing information outside of Michigan o Member satisfaction overall ("Are there ways CMF can better serve members?") o Overall value of membership in CMF ("Perceptions of overall value") o ProfiJes of respondents by: ( 1) foundation type, asset size, and years in existence; and (2) respondents' role and years in the field. • In April 200 I, Susan Howbert and Vicki Rosenberg of CMF conducted four " next generation" family foundation focus groups via conference call to obtain these members' unique perspectives. Participants included 18 family members and one staff member. In total, 263 individual members, representing close to 200 foundations, provided direct input into CMF's strategic planning process. A consolidated summary of findings from the February I Focus Group and Member survey follows. A separate summary of the "Next Generation" focus groups and a list of those participants serves as Attachment 2 (B). �5 Summary of Key Findings Overall, the majority of CMF members: • • • • • • • • Get "excellent" or "good" value for their membership Endorse the current mission Need clarification of our purposes, particularly increase, promote, and lead Expect members to be our highest priority, with emphasis on: o Every action being of benefit to members first o Knowing every member and their needs o Meeting every members' needs while recognizing the diversity of those needs o Providing equitable service across membe.r types, asset levels, and location, with the stronger calls coming from corporate givers and famil y foundations Endorse the value of principles and best practices, with emphasis on: o Education o Technical assistance o Dissemination of knowledge developed in Michigan and elsewhere Want improved communication, with a focus on: o Better promotion of CMF o High quality web and print based products o More ways for two-way communication between staff and members o More ways to access infonnation Endorse networking as one of the most valuable purposes, with a focus on: o More issue-focused opportunities relevant for all members regardles:; of type o More opportunities for member-to-member exchange and peer education o Expanded regional and statewide offerings Question the intermediary role, with a focus o n: o The role of members in the decision making process o Costs/benefits to members and CMF o Clarity of connections to mission and purposes The data-gathering also identified tension points around two issues: • Increasing Philanthropy in Michigan. What's the appropriate balance between encouraging and assisting in the creation of new family foundations vs. growing the assets of community foundations? • Membership Growth. What are the costs/benefits of continuous growth in membership on the quality of the membership experience? A fuller presentation of findings will be presented at the Board Strategic Planning Session on May 10.

Collier Summary of Key Findings Next Generation Family Foundation Conference Call Focus Group Series Re: Introduction Between April 17 and 26,200 1, Susan Howbert and Vicki Rosenberg conducted four conference call focus groups invo lving 18 next generation family foundation trustees and one family foundation staff member residing in six states. Our goal was to gather input regarding this group of members' experiences, ideas, and needs to inform the strategic planning process. The calls focused on five key issues: I . How participants first learned about CMF 2. How participants believe CMf has helped them with their philanthropic work 3. How participants believe CMF could improve its support to next generation members 4. How CMF might attract new fam ily foundation members 5. What CMF might consider regarding the strategic planning process Each call was very active, animated and informative, providing us with valuable insights into next generation members' experiences, interests, and needs. Key Findings • • • • Most participants learned about CMF from relatives or friends Most participants placed highest value on CMF for: o Networking and educational opportunities, particularly the annuaJ conference and last year's family foundation retreat. As a result of hearing others' comments about the conference, an out-state member plans to attend her first this year o Resources and publications, particuJarly "how-to guides" to LrUstee respons ibilities and foundation operations o Events that encourage cross-generational discussions among family members. Having issues as focal points of discussions provides common ground for families struggling with communication and control issues All participants identified generational inclusion and transfer of control as their greatest concern Participant requests for new services included: �7 Summary of Key Findings: Next Generation Family Foundation Focus Groups Page2 o o o • • A primer on family foundation trusteeship for next generation members More accessibility to resources via the web More structured opportunities for networking among next generation members in one day or weekend workshops o Workshops on improving communication and trust-building between generations o Delivery of publications to their homes rather than foundation offices Participant ideas for attracting new family foundation members included: o Offering free trial memberships o Asking members to contact nonmembers o Working with advisors to the wealthy and placing ads in trade publications o Offering discounts to first time conference attendees o Offering free conference registration with sponsorship from a member o Offering more retreats/events for family foundations only Participant thoughts for the strategic planning process: • Hold annual conference the ftrst week in October every year • Work with a marketing ftrm to broaden awareness ofCMF • Provide a place on the conference registration form for indicating interest in particular sessions to inform conference planning (repeating popular sessions is one example) • Encourage more diversity among conference speakers • Convene more conference calls for networking and outreach to members -they enjoyed talking with us and their peers! �8 Family Foundations Next Generation Conference Call Focus Group Series Participants Mary Frey Bennett Third Generation Member.

Rosenberg Robert S. Collier Re: Draft Vision & Values Statements Background The most recent additions to the draft strategic plan are revised draft vision and values statements. These statements reflect input from CMF Staff and Board Members. The vision statement articulates what we hope to achieve by the end of the next five years. We believe that the draft vision is doable, measurable, motivational, and distinctive to CMF. The values statements express what CMF is and hopes to be within the next five years. These statements, developed by Staff and Board Members, will guide our day-to-day work, and, we hope, represent how our members and key stakeholders know us. These statements have evolved from an initial list of six words -- learning, innovation, servantleadership, excellence, inclusivity, and relationships to the four presented below. The explication of each value draws on our beliefs and ties directly to one or more of our six purposes. For ease of reference, the purposes are underlined. Revised Vision Statement: Making Michigan the best state for organized philanthropy. Revised Values Statements We Build Relationships to Last - with our members first- and with the philanthropic, non-profit, private, and public sectors, and the general public second - through advocating and networking. Our goal is to know every member well, to represent every individual engaged in organized, Michigan-based philanthropy, and to include a diverse group of members in our thinking and planning. Our existing and future relationships with leaders in all sectors are built to bring added value to our members individuaJiy and collectively. We Act as a Servant-Leader for organized philanthropy - by promoting and increasing philanthropy in Michigan. We serve by understanding and meeting members' individual needs. We lead by anticipating and then meeting members' collective needs. In this role, we espouse the highest ethical standards. Our success is measured by the health and �12 Draft Vision & Values Statements Page 2 vitality of organized philanthropy in Michigan and by the level of civil society in our state -- now and in the future. We Have, Share, and Seek Knowledge- with members and in support of members through education and networking. Our knowledge is personified by staff with deep expertise in philanthropic principles and best practices worldwide - from the technical to the topical to the philosophical, and with skills in research and communications; by members who continually redefine best practices and represent expertise in a vast array of subjects and on a wide range of issues; and by partners and collaborators who enrich our understanding of the needs for and impact of organized philanthropy. We Strive for Excellence in Everything We Do - through a strong infrastructure-- clear goals, strong leadership, expert staff and effective management systems- that enable us to be nimble, entrepreneurial, and good stewards of our resources. These qualities allow us to provide our members with the best, most comprehensive services avaiJable to organized philanthropy anywhere. We believe to achieve excellence requires CMF as a whole -- each staff member and the Board of Trustees -- to reflect, innovate, communicate, grow, and improve. Our goal is to have all members recognize CMF as the most valuable association to which they belong. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

RESO L VE D tha t $45,000 from the 2000-2001 C ore Budget fund ba la nce be allocated .f or additional stra tegic planning services. Background At the June 2, 2000, Board Meeti ng a resolution was passed approving a one-year contract with Williams Marketing Services of Grand Rapids, now the Williams Group, for $45,000 for strategic planning services. The Strategic Planning process is on schedule for completion and presentation to the membership at the Fall Conference in Detroit. We are pleased with the leadership skills provided by Bob Tobin of the Williams Group for this process. In order to complete this process and allow for Mr. Tobin to assist the staff with implementation task forces, we would like to extend this contract to November 30, 2001 and increase the dollar amount to $72,500. We want to add that Mr. Tobin's planned activities were expanded by his facilitation of three planning days with staff. This has been a valuable learning experience for staff, who have made a significant contribution to this planning process! The balance of $ 17,500 included in this request wi U be used to reimburse FERA (Formative Evaluation Research Associates) of Ann Arbor for their services in leading a focus group of members in February in Detroit and for design, dissemination, and tabulating the membership survey. We look forward to discussing this matter with you and appreciate your participation in the strategic p lanning process. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

More than 500 lesson plans have been created by teachers for all grade levels. Many pilot school districts are coming on board, as well as Ferris State University, which offers a Master's Degree with a concentration in philanthropy. The Project has been working with lobbyist, Alcalde & Faye, and as a result, the word "giving" has been added to the definition of the Character Education Bill. "The White House Conference on Philanthropy" videotape, narrated by Paul Newman, has been disseminated to all middle school & high school libraries in the state of Michigan with two lesson plans developed for Project teachers. Because the majority of the Project's funding ends between December 3 1, 200 I and March 31, 2002, the Steering Committee is focusing on future funding strategies.

David Campbell, Chair, CMF Maureen Smyth, Chair, Supporting Organization Committee From: Jack Hopkins, Chair, MCFV Donnell Mersereau RE: 2001 Annual Report Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures Mission: To support joint programs of community foundations that result in economies of operations and growth in assets. Board of Trustees Jack Hopkins, Chair Mariam C. Noland, Vice Chair Robert G. Tambellini, Secretary/Treasurer Lucy R. Allen Elizabeth A. Cherin Neeta M. Delaney Sandi Dobbins Brenda L. Hunt Olivia P. Maynard Chris A. McGuigan Victor J. Papale Patricia A. Reynolds Diana R. Sieger Jeanne Snow David A. Woodworth The Community Foundations' Ventures Products Fund, with primary support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the C.S. Mott Foundation, continues to be the primary project of MCFV. Activities this year have focused on: Minimum standards-47 community foundation boards have validated that their community foundations meet standards on governance, finance and administration, donor relations, grantmaking, communications and convening. A common identity system-All Michigan community foundations now include the word community in their name. Many are now presenting their name in a common way while retaining local logos. A capacity building curriculum- Trustees and staff participated in a series of four interactive distance-learning sessions on marketing. A statewide professional advisor marketing campaign-Ads placed with statewide profess ional periodicals, and magazines like Business Week have been complemented by local activities for advisors. �MCFV Annual Report October 12, 2000 Page2 Regional marketing activities-Six regions in the state are working collaboratively on regional marketing activities that will build a greater and more consistent marketing presence, create efficiencies in operations and help community foundations better serve their communities. New FIMS tracking- FIMS is the infonnation management software used by 32 Michigan community foundations. A new donor and advisor database was designed to allow for automatic tracking and reporting of activities related to the Venture Product Fund advertising campaign. Products from the ftrst phase of the Venture Products Fund, such as the PowerPoint presentation, What is a Community Foundation?, and the tag line "For Good. For Ever. ", are now being used by community foundations throughout the United States. The work of the Venture Products Fund is being continued in 2001 and 2002 as the Community Foundation Research and Development Incubator, overseen by a national advisory committee including Michigan community foundations, and funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the C.S. Mott Foundation and Michigan community foundations. The Incubator will continue the mission of the Venture Products Fund to be a responsive, representative, entrepreneurial and high-value initiative supporting the growth of community foundations through activities contributing to these goals: 1. 2. 3. To conduct research that will result in a better understanding of target audiences and how to better meet their needs and wants, To develop products and tools that will aid in continued asset growth and leadership of community foundations, and To develop communication tools, promotions and processes that will enhance the work of community foundations in reinforcing their identity and role with target donor groups, advisors and the public. Working together, community foundations in Michigan are proving that "it's about leveraging our collective strength to benefit each community foundation." i :\dmerserlmcvf\mcfvannualrepot1200 l.doc �Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures Board of Trustees Terms of Office Class of 2004 Brenda L.

Rappleye Chair, Audit & Finance Committee RE: CMF & Supporting Organization 9-30-01 Financial Statements Core Operations Note 1: Member Contributions The variance from budget is primarily due to timing issues. In comparing the 9-30-01 numbers to last year, we had received $555,000 through 9-30-00. Based on the projected numbers that were run for the Membership Task Force, the $705,000 still appears to be a reasonable goal. Note 2: Conference Income & Expenses R egistration numbers for the Annual Conference are running significantly below the original projection. Management is looking at several areas to cut costs while still providing attendees with the same high quality experience they are used to. We have already reduced the number of tours and cut back on head counts for meals. Pending the outcome of final negotiations with the hotel, we are estimating a final loss of $50,000-$75,000. As of October 18, 2001, 400 people were registered for the conference, which is roughly half of previous years. Note 3: Publication Income The variance from budget is due to sales of the Directory falling off sooner than anticipated. Following the Annual Conference we will under take a special promotion to move the remaining directories. Inventory at the end of September was as follows. Book -1,071 CD's- 394 S:\Boards and Committees\CM F\Board\200 1-02\ 10.3 1.0 I Meeting Materials\ FinanceCttee I 0-3 1-0 I a.doc �Note 4: Investment Income The variance from budget is due to money market rates falling into the 3% range, which is 40% below last year' s rates. This reduction could potentially result in a $33,000 reduction in interest income for the current year. Note 5: Salaries The favorable variance is due to the following: Admin support for MCSC grants Downstairs receptionist position not filled Detroit office assistant not hired Staff wages charged to Dissemination Wages to MHSDA project CMF Admin other Special Projects Reduction of overtime & temp staff $9,600 18,600 4,300 3,100 5,500 7,600 14,900 Note 6: Computer Due to the delay in upgrading the iMIS software (membership & meeting data base) last year, $21,000 in expenses that were budgeted for 2000-01 h it our current fiscal year. Currently, $45,000 that was budgeted this year to purchase an on-line registration module for iMIS, is being used to purchase software and equipment that will allow staff remote access to their desk top computers; with the potential to provide internet training to our members down the road. Note 7: Travel The variance from budget is partially due to the increase in air travel and fuel costs experienced this year. Also the CMF core budget is covering a greater portion of the auto costs for the President which is split with the WKKF III Grant.

Swaney, Jr. Chair, Investment Committee Re: CMF 6-30-01 Investment Report Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the June 30, 2001 Investment Report as recommended by the CMF Investment Committee. On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment performance for the operating and pennanent endowment funds. The reports contained in this section were reviewed by the Investment Committee on August 16, 2001. The next Investment Committee meeting is scheduled for November 19, 2001 to review the September 30, 2001 investment results. The enclosed Investment Report has been broken down into three sections. Investment Performance Report The bench-mark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula listed below. S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 International Short Bond Bond Cash 40% 10% 6% 14% 15% 15% 0% Since the equity portion of the permanent funds is invested in index funds, the variances from the bench-marks are primarily due to investment management fees (which are roughly 21 basis points), and the variance in the asset allocation mix from the target established by the Investment Committee and approved by this Board. On November 19, 2001 the Investment Committee will be meeting with the investment managers to review the allocation of international equities. S:\Boards and Commiltees\CMF\Board\200 1-02110.31 .0 IMeeting Mmerials\ lnvestmenti0-3 1-0 l .doc �Asset Allocation Report The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that instructs the CMF VP of Finance to rebalance the endowment fund portfolios on a quarterly basis. To keep administrative time to a minimwn CMF maintains one checking account to pay all endowment fund expenses. The negative cash balances are due to endowment fund expenditures from the CMF checking account, which are periodically reimbursed, by transferring cash from the endowment funds back to CMF. The high concentration of cash in the William Allen Fund is due to an influx of cash during the month of June, which was invested in July. On May 11 ,2001 the CMF Board ofTrustees approved the establishment ofthe Michigan Conununity Foundation's Youth Project (MCFYP) Endowment Fund. A permanent endowment fund as approved by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, by using the grant dollars remaining from the Round 12 challenge grant. The purpose of this fund is to support the ongoing technical assistance and training needs of community foundation youth advisory committees in Michigan. Thi s fund is being invested over a six month period ending December 2001. Investment Performance Comparison Report The variances from the Cambridge actual one-year rate of returns, are primarily due to the returns in the venture capital and private equity market, which are categories not allowed under our current investment policy. You will note that over a three-year period the endowment funds that have been fully-invested during this period, track relatively close to the Cambridge pool. The Committee will continue to monitor the differences with the Cambridge pool carefully, and consider adjustments to the asset allocations where appropriate.

Based on the work of the Committee we are presenting two recommended actions for discussion and approval. I. Annual Approval of Legislative Goals Statement RESOLVED that the Legislative Goals Statement be approved with the following changes noted in the copy attached to this resolution: National Legislative Issues Revision of Goal4: To repeal the excise tax on private foundations, replacing the previous goal of reducing the excise tax to a flat one percent. State Legislative Issues Addition of new Goal to support simplification of the Charitable Solicitation Act. Background ~A-9~ The Committee feels that simplification of the ~e tax is an intermediate step with the goal being an ultimate repeal. This new position supports the position of the Council on Foundations. Because community foundations are subject to the Charitable Solicitation Act, the Committee supports the addition of this Goal, which is also a Goal of the Michigan Nonprofit Association. �16 Govemment Relations Memo September 22, 2001 Page2 The Committee wants to highlight that three Goals have been completed and have been moved to the accomplishments list • The old National Goal 13 to support elimination ofthe Charitable Split Dollar Insurance Plan • The old State Goals 3 and 4 on legislation to strengthen the definition of a community foundations in the state tax code and to allow for the transfer of gifts received by public school systems to community foundations Finally, the Committee approved language updating the explanation of the goals to reflect the current legislative efforts in Lansing and Washington. II. Creation of a Philanthropy Caucus in the State Legislature €t\.W V~ ~~If\"\~~ tJ. ~ t& RESOLVED that CMF suppe~catiollof a Philanthropy Caucus, a bi-partisan (_ group of up to 20 state legislators representing both the Senate and the House, with ~ o.Ll a purpose to share the work of foundations and corporate giving programs with ~ their colleagues and to refer questions to CMF. ~6a.S ..rc-9-- Background The State Legislature is again undergoing great transition due to term limits with more than 2/3 of the State Senate being new in the 2002 election. While CMF and our members can continue to work on educating new legislators, we need to consider using those legislators that both understand philanthropy and are positioned on key committees to help us help their colleagues better understand the role that philanthropy plays in Michigan. We believe that there is such a group oflegislators on both sides of the aisle and in both Chambers that understand the work of foundations and corporate giving programs in our State. .• As a next step, staff and the Co-Chairs of the Government Relations Committee would work with David Haynes, CMF's lobbyist from Public Affairs Associates in Lansing to identify likely co-chairs of such a PbiJantbropy Caucus. Because much of the legislature's work involving philanthropy comes from the tax and finance areas, two examples of such legislators are Representative Patti Birkholz (Republican from Holland), a member of the House Tax Policy Committee, and Senator Bob Emerson (Democrat from F lint), a member of the Senate Finance Committee. �17 Council of MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Suite 3/0ne South Harbor Avenuc/P.O. Box 599/Grand Haven, Ml 494 17/(616) 842-7080/ FAX (616) 842'-1 760 cmf@cmif.org · www.cmif.org COUNCIL OF MICIDGAN FOUNDATIONS Legislative Goals Statement The purpose of the Council of Michigan Foundations' Government Relations Committee is to seek support for legislative changes at both the state and national levels that encourage the role and effectiveness of foundation and corporate philanthropy. The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March I, 1979_ Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April l2, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995; October 30, 1996; March 13, 1997; November4, 1998; October 14, 1999; October 2, 2000, and October 2001. I. PIDLANTHROPY IN MICIDGAN AND AMERICA Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society. ln 1999, foundations and corporations in America donated more than $ 1.1 billion for charitable causes and services, including the arts, United Way, colleges and universities, libraries, and programs for the elderly and the needy. Today, with a slowing in the economy, 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 wel l as increased needs_ ln the face of this challenge, it is apparent that more can and should be done to encourage the creation and growth of new foundations and corporate giving programs as well as to reduce the operating regulatory burdens on existing 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 dis incentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as provisions that discourage charitable donations to existing foundations. It has become apparent that a number of Internal Revenue Service Code regulations, based on the 1969 Tax Act, have proven to be unnecessarily restrictive on the grantrnaking effectiveness ofMichigan's more than 1,600 foundations, as well as the more than 48,000 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 of Michigan Foundations must work actively to inform the general public_ as well as state and federal legislators, and other policymakers on these important issues. In 1977, the Members ofCMF directed the Board ofTrustees to develop a public information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy and include communication with public policymakers. A Government Relations Committee was established to implement the program and has continued to survey CMF Members on their legislative interests and priorities on a timely basis. rlll t lssocialion rifl'runulolirii/S IIIUf Crlljlflmliulls .1/ttldng (,mntsjiJr Charitu/Jie PIIIJI"-'es. �18 CMF has worked with foundation and corporate Members, the Council on Foundations, other regional associations of grantmakers and the Forum of 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-five goals have been accomplished: U. NATIONAL GOALS • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Reduction of mandatory pay-out requirement for private foundations 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 issued Full deductibility of gifts to private foundations of publicly-traded stock made permanent Gain portion of gifts of appreciated property 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 Premiums paid for D&O liability insurance not treated as compensation for trustees Regulation passed indicating U.S. Foundation grants to nonresident aliens woul9 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 Legislation passed eliminating Charitable Split Dollar Insurance Plans Estate tax phased out between 2002 and 20 I0 ill.

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 ofMichigan 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 sponsored study, completed in May 2000, by Cambridge Associates, Inc., of the actual performance of a group of Michigan endowed private foundations confirms the position of maintaining the payout rate at no more than 5 percent. 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 Jess than 10 percent of the outstanding stock of the 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: Repeal the excise tax on private foundations. 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. Private foundations are the only 50 I ©(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax . The current formula is difficult to administer and can limit charitable giving. 3 �20 While simplification to a flat one percent is an acceptable intermediate step and is in H.R.7 passed the summer of2001, the Senate has introduced SB 1300 that calls for repeal of the tax. 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, 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. 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 of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form that permits itemized deductions; instead they file the short form that al lows only a standard deduction. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize charitable contributions within certain limits, but the deduction expired J anuary I, 1987. In July 200 I the House passed H.R. 7 that includes a phased in deduction over ten years from $25 to $100. Senator Gramm has introduced S. 35, which contains a provision that would phase in a l 00% deduction by 2006. 4 �21 9. Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can lobby or otberwise.influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that adversely affect grantmaking. Explanation: Continuous monitoring is essential to oppose unreasonable and urmecessary regulatory reporting burdens on both foundations and their grantees. 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 pemsion 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 (JRAs) 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- 112 years of age, if the disbursement is made directly to either a qualified charity or a qualifying deferred giving plan, known as the IRA - Charitable Rollover Bill (H. R. 13 11 , S. 1086). It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many charitable organizations, including community foundations. H.R. 7, passed by the House in July 2001, includes the IRA Rollover at age 70 1/2. Efforts are underway to have the Senate support similar legislation introduced by Senator Hutchison asS. 205. 12. Goal: Avoid excessive corporate giving regulations. Explanation: CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation, which would require costly administration. While legislation was introduced in 2000 which would require public companies annually to disclose to their shareholders the charities to which they made contributions and U1e amount of each contribution if a corporate officer or spouse is on the grantee's board, it has never received suflicient Committee support to be considered by the House or Senate. 13. Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 200 I on creation of new foundations and gifts to exiting foundations. Explanation: The "Tax ReliefReconciliatioo Act of2001" passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President in June 2001, phases out the Estate Tax between 2002 and 20 I 0. Full repeal however is only in effect for the year 2010, and the estate tax then reverts, unless new legislation is passed, to the 2000 tax code status. 5 �22 While it is the position of CMF to not support or oppose legislation that has a broad impact beyond the charitable field, it is necessary to monitor the impact on philanthropy of this legislation and future changes that might be made in the estate tax. V. STATE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES 1. Goal: Monitor changes to tax policy pertaining to community benefits as it relates to non-profits. 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. GoaJ: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from individuals. Explanation: Other states have found that a tax deduction does help encourage additional gifts by individuals to charities. While the introduction oflegislation in tough economic times is unlikely, the Michigan Nonprofit Association is taking the lead in promoting this issue with the legislature. 3. Goal: Monitor legislation necessary for a portion of the state tobacco settlement funds to be annually granted to CMF for distribution to certified Michigan community foundations for the establishment of Healthy Youth & Healthy Senior 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 bow states may spend their settlement payments. Distribution of tobacco settlement funds by CMF to 64 certified community foundations for 2000 and 2001 equals $15.8 million. Another $5.9 mHlion has been approved as part of the Department of Career Development's $6 million allocation to CMF for the State's 2001-2002 fiscal year. Annual monitoring of this legislation is required to insure that the Legislature understands the valuable role the community foundations play. 4. Goal: Support legislation to simplify tbe C haritable Solicitations Act. Explanation: Community foundations are required as well as other charitable nonprofits to file for an annual solicitation license. The licensing, enforcement, and appeal processes are not considered user friendly by nonprofits and do not reflect the changing cost in fundraising. CMF bas joined MNA in supporting proposed legislation that Representative George is considering introducing with support from the Attorney General's Office. Approved by the CMF Board ofTrustees, October 2, 2001 6 �23 Minutes of the Government Relations Committee August 17,2001 In attendance: Co-Chairs Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Maureen Smyth, Leonard Smith, Fred Woodruff, Jack Hopkins, Pat Babcock and Rob Collier Special Guests: David Haynes of Public Affairs Associates and Julia Szanton, International Coordinator for CMF The Meeting was called to order at 10:05 a.m. by Co-Chairs Maynard and Kennedy. Special Lansing Initiatives David Haynes led a discussion on strategies for increasing the visibility of CMF in Lansing in light of term limits. The three strategies discussed included: a philanthropy day, a philanthropy caucus, and targeted meetings with legislators. There was consensus that CMF should move forward in encouraging development of a philanthropy caucus. Once the Board approves the concept, Collier will develop a draft statement for the Committee to review that Haynes will use to help present the caucus idea to key legislators. There was consensus that it is prematwe to consider a special philanthropy day. However, Haynes recommends that key legislators on the attached Circle oflnfluence list be matched with grantmakers. Collier will provide the Committee with a suggested match list to discuss. Legislative Goals Statement A. Federal Goals The Committee approved three actions related to the federal goals. • Goal 13 on elimination of the charitable split dollar insurance plans has been completed and moved to the accomplishments list • Goall4 concerning monitoring the estate tax continue to be kept on the list of ongoing goals • Goal4 on the excise tax be amended to recommend full repeal of the tax with simplification added to the explanation section. B. State Goals The Committee approved two actions: • Goals 4 and 5 concerning community foundations have been completed and moved to the accomplishments list • A new Goal be added to support modification to the Charitable Solicitation Act because community foundations are subject to this Act. �24 Government Relations Comminee Minutes Augustl 7,200 1 Page2 Committee Job Description The Committee approved the updated job description (attached) on condition that a Michigan Philanthropy Day in Lansing be deleted as a proposed activity. Public Policy Committee Pat Babcock, Director of Public Policy for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, reviewed the proposed charge for the Public Policy Committee. There was consensus that the charge was appropriate and that there should be a common member to both Committees. Mr. Babcock will k eep this Committee informed of the activities of the Public Policy Committee. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 1:00 p.m. �25 Community Foundations & State Leadership Circle of Influence Our circle of influence should include those key decision-makers that can have a positive affect on our goals and objectives. This circle should include leadership in both chambers; committee members on chambers tax policy committees, and other legislators who we have identified as supportive of community foundations.

Mawby, Chairman, Learning to Give C. David Campbell, Steering Committee Member Julie F. Cummings, Steering Committee Member Dorothy A. Johnson, Steering Committee Member RobertS. Collier, Steering Committee Member Re: Learning to Give Update Lilly Endowment Grant The Lilly Endowment has granted $1 million over two years (2002-2004) to Learning to Give (LTG) to support the national launch of LTG to five demonstration states (Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Texas and California), and to add depth and breadth to the Web-site. This grant was made in anticipation of a companion grant of $900,000 from The Atlantic Philanthropies. A decision from The Atlantic Philanthropies is pending. In addition, CMF has been working to secure federal funding through the national education budget. If this funding is authorized and appropriated as planned, an additional four states will be added to the demonstration pool {Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida, and New Hampshire). If neither The Atlantic Philanthropies nor the federal funding are secured, the Lilly Endowment will entertain a revised work plan. LTG should know about funding over the next few months. Michigan Department of Education At the request of the Michigan Department of Education, twelve units (three at each grade level) have been placed on the MOE web-site in support of the Child 2 Child campaign launched by the department to help children affected by the recent terrorist attacks on the United States. The lessons and LTG are very prominently displayed on the site. The lessons speak to service and sacrifice for the benefit of the community, and also to tolerance in a diverse society. I 0-16-0 l Report �Detroit Free Press Article The Detroit Free Press published an article and a picture of the students learning lessons on philanthropy at VanZile Elementary school of the Detroit Public Schools. A copy of the out-state version of the article, which was almost the full front page of the People Section, is enclosed. National Partnerships and Endorsements National partnerships with nonprofit umbrella organizations, and endorsements from national educational organizations have been secured. The list of partners and endorsers follows at the end. There will be a meeting of the partners and endorsers in Washington, sometime in the early winter. LTG will work with and through the national partners in order to disseminate philanthropy education nationwide. National Content Advisory Committee A National Content Advisory Committee of scholars and reflective practitioners has been selected. Through the support of The Fetzer Institute, the committee will meet once a year for three years to review and enhance the philanthropy education content. A list of the members follows. Nine of the scholars represent each of the universities that are considering working with LTG as the lead institution in their state for dissemination. The committee will meet for the first time October 24, 25, and 261h at Season's on the campus of The Fetzer Institute. Progress Report Philanthropy Themes and Benchmarks These are scheduled for review by the National Content Advisory Committee. Units, Lessons, and Assessment Over 300 lessons are on the LTG Web-site. Almost 100 additional lessons were written this summer. By spring 2002, over 500 lessons are expected to be posted on the site. We are very close to having a sample lesson for each of the philanthropy benchmarks, and also a sample philanthropy lesson that meets the Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) benchmarks for social studies. The assessment test questions have been reviewed by the Fairness Committee. By spring sample questions will be available on the Web-site for teachers to download to create their own tests, or they may use a sample test developed by LTG. A valid standardized test will not be available for a few more years. Pilot and Demonstrations Schools Almost 30 schools have committed a building to teaching two philanthropy units each year at every grade level for at least three years. Two school systems, Muskegon Catholic Central and Muskegon Mona Shores, have committed their districts K-12 and all buildings. The pilot schools will participate in the evaluation research of LTG being led by Michigan State University. This includes formal �field-testing of lessons, completion of teacher and student surveys, teacher journals, three de-briefing meetings each year, and submission of all philanthropy student work. The list of pilot schools follows. We are still recruiting a Detroit Public Schools High School. In addition, several schools have asked to be demonstration sites. These schools are committed to teaching the units at each grade level, but they will not be participating in the research study because more than enough schools have already volunteered for the research. A final list of demonstration schools will be available by mid-year, many are in the final decision stages. Teacher Support Materials Briefing Papers Twenty-one new graduate student produced briefing papers were received in the spring. They are in the final editing process and will be placed on the Web shortly. This brings the total number of papers to forty. The first literature briefs have been received, analyzing the relationship of the books: My Antonia, Great Expectations, The Grapes of Wrath, and The Education of Little Tree, to LTG philanthropy themes. High School CD ROM and Textbook Supplement The outline has been completed for some time. We are awaiting a decision from the Association of Fund-Raising Professionals foundation regarding matching the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation challenge grant for this new resource. Professional Development Masters Degree in Education with a Philanthropy Endorsement The online M.A. in Education with a philanthropy concentration is well underway in partnership with Ferris State University. There will be two summer residential sessions for 12 credit hours held in Grand Rapids, which are required to meet the university accreditation requirements for offering a Masters Degree. The other 24 credit hours will be available online. In addition, a certificate in philanthropy will be available for people who do not wish to have the M.A. or the teaching certification, but are interested in the philanthropy content. With luck, the first summer residential session will be held during the summer of 2002. Summer Institutes Summer institutes, 2002, for teachers are planned in Michigan and Ohio, with the possibility of a third institute in New Hampshire. The Ohio Institute will be held again at the Mandel Center at Case Western Reserve. Dissemination and Publicity Web-site The Web-site continues to be developed.

Philanthropy. Fil-an-thro-pee. A tough concept for adults, sure, but try it on fourth- and fifth-graders. Most stared blankly at the board inside Detroit's VanZile Elementary School. "Let's take ourselves back to the World Trade Center, when people came out to volunteer together for the common good," she said as she scribbled the definition underneath the yellow strip. "What were they giving? Their time, talent and treasure. "That's philanthropy," she said, "the giving of one's time, talent or treasure." Schools, to varying degrees, have for years taught the hows and whys of helping others, but the character lessons have taken on a new importance after last month's ten·orist attacks. Now the state is renewing interest by promoting pre-packaged lesson plans on its Web site-plans that are easy for teachers to download and follow, take up about 45-minute blocks of class time and match the state's learning goals. The "Learning to Give" plans are available for every grade level and were written by Michigan teachers three years ago under grants from the W.K. Kellogg, Ford, Surdna, and Ewing Marion Kauffman foundations and the Lilly Endowment. The project was organized by the Council of Michigan Foundations. Grosse Pointe, Plymouth-Canton and Romulus schools have used the Michigan lesson plans, and teachers in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Texas and Ohio are creating similar packets. �"If we, as a system, don't become better at teaching children that it's not about me, but what I can do for others, we've tmly lost it," said Purdy, who wrote Wednesday's lesson for the project. "It's something we've gotten away from and we need to get back to, especially after last month's events." The lessons cover everything from nonprofit organizations to the difference between being a hero and being famous. �Kindergartners might talk about sharing their toys while sixth-graders may read biographies of children who lived in Japanese internment camps following the Pearl Harbor attacks. High school students are encouraged to research nonprofit agencies and volunteer their time after school. "Many people think of philanthropy as an older fellow who digs in his pockets and gives money," said Janice Peterson, who teaches preschool at Woodward Elementary School in Detroit. "But even the littlest ones have the capacity to be productive and to help their community. If we get to them early and teach about caring, it is an investment that pays off in the long run." As part of their philanthropy lesson, Peterson has her students clean the school playground each year. She then has them discuss their feelings of accomplislunent to reinforce the idea of feeling good after giving. Purdy's students offered several examples of how they and their families help others. "My mom said it was real important to help people when the planes crashed. She doesn't know if it's going to happen again, so she gave some money," said 10-year-old Keisha Joyce. John Kirk, 9, said he gives lost motorists directions and delivers messages within his apartment building for disabled neighbors. "Some don't have food or family, so if we give them money or food, they'll be happier and might forget they don't have family," he said. T.J. Bucholz, a department of education spokesm an, said the state also is collecting money to send to the September 11th Fund in New York, eannarked to aid children, and providing information to school administrators on how to help students deal with last month's attacks. "It is just as important to teach philanthropy as it is to teach social studies or math or science," he said.

The following action items are presented for discussion and approval: RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the following changes in membership criteria as endorsed by the Membership Committee and recommended by the Community Foundation Committee where appropriate: • Modify the criteria for Community Foundations to reflect the current state law for community foundations eligible for the community foundation tax credit. • Redefine Community Foundation Affiliate to be limited to those participating in the Kellogg Youth Challenge and to further revoke their voting privileges as a CMF member. • Eliminate the category of Community Foundation Donor Advised Fund by grandfathering current members and closing the category to new members. • Eliminate the category of "Friends" of CMF. • Change the language in the Out-of-State Associates criteria from " must" to "should" have a grantmakiog presence in Michigan. • Amend the criteria for Public Foundations to include "have a permanent endowment" and "make substantial grants for broad charitable purposes." RESOLVED further that a policy be approved to terminate membership for nonresponsive members that ar·e more than two years delinquent on membership dues. RESOLVE D further that the Membership Development Plan/Campaign for 2002, including the goal of 578 by 200617 be approved. RESOLVED further that minimum dues be established at a level of $500 and that the dues categories be expanded with a dues increase to be considered by the Finance Committee as the budgets are prepared for 2002 and beyond. �Background There was consensus by the Committee that we can have "Friend ofCMF" without making it a distinct membershlp category. Attached is the Retention Plan to deal with the current 66 delinquent members. It is important to note that we may drop as many as 50 members by implementing the recommended policy in 2002. Also attached is the proposed Membership Development Plan for 2002. We look forward to your participation. The most desirable targets for membership are the 99 Independent and 2 15 Family foundations with assets of $1 million or more. It costs CMF $495 to service each member. A review of existing membership dues indicates that $500 is the common minimum. We presently have 107 members that pay dues at the level of$150 or $360. In making the recommendation to raise the minimum dues level to $500, we recognize that CMF may lose some of these members. ljfiscberBoarcJ9.28 ..() I membershiprecommendatioo.s �Retention Strategies Several membership retention strategies are recommended. By implementing these and other strategies being developed by the Phase ll Strategic Planning Task Forces, delinquencies can be significantly minimized and member satisfaction increased thereby reducing the number of voluntary non-renewals. Those suggested strategies are as follows. The status of each strategy (continue, expand, or add) is also indicated. • Track individual members' membership history (including records of key contacts on status of membership, dues, etc.), participation in programs, use of services, and purchases of reports and other products to support more personalized service. (expand) • Make personal contact with each member annually to ask about their satisfaction with CMF services and to solicit feedback about their needs. Every other year, make this contact through a visit to the foundation's offices. (expand) • Send new members a welcome letter, a membership packet describing CMF programs, products, and services available to members, invitations to serve on committees within eight weeks of membership initiation, and, per recommendations forthcoming from the Services Task Force, assign a "member buddy" or mentor to new members from among active, current members in the same membership category. (expand) • Feature new members in Memo to Members. (add) • Provide new members with a special orientation at the annual conference. (continue) • Contact new members at least twice during their first year of membership to highJight services. (add) • Feature renewing members in publications through stories on best practices, quotes, and special mentions on five-year membership anniversaries (I 0, 15, 20, etc.). (expand) • Contact non-renewing members to encourage them to renew, and, if unsuccessful, to determine reasons for termination. (continue) ** Additional strateg ies will be forthcoming from Strategic Planning task forces. �Membership Development Campaign: 2002 The proposed 2002 Membership Development Plan has three steps: 1) identification of potential members; 2) working with recruitment volunteers; and 3) staff reporting and recruitment. These are described more fully below. Identifying Potential Members CMF uses reports published by the IRS and the Foundation Center to identify potential new members. Both sources publish reports identifying newly established foundations and providing contact and asset information for each. The IRS report is published quarterly. The Foundation Center report is made available to CMF upon publication of its Michigan Foundation Directory, a biennial publication. In December of each year, CMF's Director of Membership and Special Projects conducts research and develops a target list of potential members for distribution to the Membership Committee and recruitment volunteers (Membership Committee and the Board). Specific steps in the campaign are as follows: • January-- IRS and the Foundation Center reports reviewed to identify CMF eligible foundations not currently members ofCMF. These include established and newly formed family and independent foundations. Staff do targeted mailing to eligible family foundations that includes a special invitation letter and a copy of The Family Philanthropist newsletter. • February-o A chart showing all eligible candidates for membership with foundation name, contact person, address, city, and asset information is presented to the Membership Committee for review and discussion; o Board members and general members are recruited as volunteers to help with development effort; o Volunteers select candidates they will contact from the chart discussed above; o Each volunteer is provided with the list of candidates s/he has offered to contact along with a summary of prior contacts, a brief description of each eligib le fou ndations' characteristics (type, asset size, year formed, etc.), a timeline for making contact, and key points to discuss with potential members; o Membership Committee members are encouraged to recruit 3 new members, Board members to recruit I to 2 new members, and volunteers from the general membership to recruit I new member. • March/ April --The Director ofMembership & Special Projects carefully monitors the recruitment effort, contacting each recruitment volunteer to check on progress, offer assistance, etc. Immediately following each successful invitation, the Director follows up with a phone call and letter to the new member. �• May - Recruit ment volunteer work completed. Recruitment records are updated for future recruitment (who contacted, how many times, how and what were results-- comments, for example, "not ready, please re-contact in six months.") For future campaigns, CMF will develop new marketing materials informed by recommendations forthcoming from the Marketing-Communications Task Force. The following is a sample of the format previously used to track recruitment by membership committee volunteers. This format allows for reporting on the progress of each volunteer, as well as each foundation.

Many large independettt foundations are no longer governed by members of the original donor's family, but are run by boards made up of commumty. business and academic leaders. Independent foundations are oceasionally termed •non-operating' because they do not run their own programs. An operating foundation is a private foundation that uses the bulk of its income to provide charitable services or to run chantable programs of its own.

The following list highlights issues being tackled by the Committee, and we hope to present many of these issues to you for discussio n and action on October 2. • • • • • • To redefine Community Foundation Affiliates and revoke voting privileges, To grandfather the current four members in the Community Foundation Donor Advised Funds category and eliminate the category, To adopt a Membership Development Plan for 2002, including delinquent members and those not contributing at the recommended dues level , To set a membership goal of578 by 2006 targeting Independent and Family Foundations with assets exceeding $1 million, To agree on core member benefits, and To discuss a dues increase for 2002, including an expansion of dues categories Background The chart that follows this memo summarizes all of the membership categories. The Community Foundation Committee has recommended the actions noted above concerning Affiliates and Donor Advised Funds. CMF has about 65 members that are more than two years delinquent in paying dues The Committee will be discussing strategies for renewing their membership by March 31 , 2002 with a recommendation to drop non-responsive members as members effective April I, 2002. At the same time, we look forward to involving all Trustees in the Membership Development Plan for 2002. Staff is recommending to the Committee that there are sufficient non-members above one million dollars in assets in the independent and family foundation groups to meet the five-year goal of 578 As CMF develops its first marketing brochure, it is necessary to define core membership benefits. Also following this memo is a list of member benefits the Committee is discussing. Finally, it has been six years since CMF increased member dues. Inflation has increased by at least 18% in that time, and coupled with other economic factors, this is an issue that needs to be discussed. �li1 EM8EI\SIIIP CRITERIA '<T M Memb.

David Campbell, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, President, and Vicki Rosenberg, COO RE: Recommendations on Diversity & Inclusion, Positioning Statement and Strategic Plan Update DIVERSITY & INCLUSION Introduction At the October 2nd Special Board Meeting, Trustees engaged in a brief, but lively, discussion about diversity and inclusion, facilitated by Bob Tobin our strategic planning consultant. Although time did not permit a full exploration of these issues, there was consensus about the need to strengthen CMF's commitment to these values, both in principle and practice. To begin this process, the Board asked staff to: • • Expand the definition of "diversity" presented at the meeting; Prepare a draft value statement with implementation plan for discussion at the October 31, 2001 Board meeting; and The following expanded definitions are presented for your consideration. Diversity is men and women from different nations, ethnicities, races, and cultures, of different generations, religions, backgrounds, and sexual orientations, and with different skills, abilities, lifestyles, and beliefs. Inclusion: An environment where everyone has an opportunity to fully participate and is valued for the distinctive skills, experiences, and perspectives they bring to this environment. Action Item The following items are presented for discussion and approval: RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the following values statement: We Strive for Diversity & Inclusion-in our staff, our membership, our Board and our activities. Our goal is to understand the range of philanthropic perspectives held and traditions followed by our members and to share those with grantmakers through our programs and publications. By diversity, we �Diversity & Inclusion Memo to the Board of Trustees Page 2 mean men and women of all cultures, ethnicities, lifestyles, ages, beliefs, backgrounds, skills and abilities, races, and sexual orientations. We encourage members to join with us by developing their own commitment to diversity and inclusion for the future of philanthropy in Michigan. Based on the discussion of the above resolution, staff would move forward as follows: • • • Gather data through focus groups and interviews with selected members to identify areas of concern, desired outcomes, and suggested actions. Present the results of the data gathering effort to the expanded Long-Range Planning Committee for discussion and recommendation. Present the final action plan to the Board for review and action. POSITIONING STATEMENT At the October 2 Special Board Meeting, three possible positioning statements were presented: • Advancing Charitable Giving • Supporting (Creating/Advancing) A Culture of Giving • Advancing the State of Charitable Giving (Philanthropy) Wbtm lht: vult: was lakt:n, "Supporting a Cullurt: ufGiving" haJ lht: must vutt:s but nut from a majority of Trustees present. The discussion reminded us of our servant leadership role, and we returned to the Marketing/Communications Task Force for more discussion. The Committee has spent more time on this and considers "Serving Givers, Advancing Giving" as an alternative. There is some concern, however, that using the word givers is too similar to the United Way. It has been recommended that the word grantmakers replace givers for the statement to read " Serving Grantmakers, Advancing Giving." If the Board feels comfortable with this recommendation, a motion to adopt it as the Positioning statement is in order. If not we would recommend referring this matter back to the Marketing/Task Force for more discussion with Bob Tobin our consultant. STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE At the October 2"d meeting, the Board approved expanding the Long-Range Planning Committee (LRPC) to include its original members (Executive Cornn1ittee and Collier, Fischer, Katt, Lindberg, and Rosenberg) plus Task Force and Committee chairs (Neeta Delaney, Gil Hudson, Libby Maynard, and Elizabeth Sullivan), and staff (Judy Carl, Susan Howbert, Donnell Merseareau, and Gail Powers-Schaub). The goal of this expanded group will be to provide leadership on the integration of the Phase II recommendations into a comprehensive plan for CMF's future. The Committee's final recommendations will inform the work of the Marketing -Communications and Technology Task Forces. �Diversity & Inclusion Memo to the Board of Trustees Page 3 The next steps to complete the strategic plan are as follows: • • • • • November: Consolidation o f Phase II Recommendations into draft Strategic Plan December: Meeting of Expanded Long-Range Planning Committee to: review and make recommendations on final strategic plan including revised vision metrics (implementation benchmarks), implementation timeline, and instructions for Marketing-Communications & Technology Task Forces. Preparation of CMF FY02 Budget Meeting of Marketing-Communications Task Force. January: Presentation of FY02 Budget to Finance Committee. Market research with corporate members conducted. Meeting of Technology Task Force February: Meeting of Marketing-Communications Task Force Presentation of Budget and Final Plan to Board Meeting of Technology Task Force April I : Implementation of Strategic Plan begins. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Wright Mary Fisher, honorary trustee Since it was formed by a group of grantmakers in 1989, the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) has distributed more than $6 million from 100 plus grantmakers in funding and resources to block the spread ofHlV/AIDS in Michigan. It has supported programs with demonstrable success such as peer education, outreach to runaways, homeless and incarcerated youth, and testing and counseling for women. MAF exceeded its fundraising goal for the year and awarded grants totaling $614,297 to 21 organizations located throughout the state.

After a search process, Glen Jack statted on January I as Executive Director, and he opened MAF's new office in Southfield in May. The Board bas appointed Jim Heynen, President of the Greystone Group, to a vacant seat. �The work of the Michigan AIDS Fund continues because: there are at least 1, 100 new .infections every year in our state; nearly 6,000 residents have died from AIDS, at least 13,000 neighbors and friends are living with the disease in Michigan. �Michigan AIDS Fund Board of Trustees Terms of Office The Bylaws allow for a Board of up to 17 members Class of 2001 - 2004 -(6) • Elizabeth Sullivan, Kresge Foundation • Rob Collier, Council of Michigan Foundations • Gerald Smith, Detroit Youth Foundation • David Swenson, Saginaw Community Foundation • Dr. Nora Maloy, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation • Larry Washington, Dow Chemical Company Class of 2003 - (5) • Susan Broman, Steelcase Foundation • Carolee Dodge Francis, Dickinson County Community Foundation • Barbara Jones, City of Detroit Health Department • Jay Kaplan, Michigan AIDS Alliance • Terri D.

David Campbell, Chairman and Board of Trustees From : Vicki Rosenberg RE: CMF Statement on Inclusion and Diversity At its February and May 2001 meetings, Trustees identified inclusion and diversity as issues of high importance to CMF. Presently, diversity is addressed in only one key CMF document, the 1997 Statement of Principles and Best Practices. (see below for the particular statement.) The May discussion focused on whether to include a statement on inclusion and diversity in the first point in the Values Statement that addresses relationships. The Board agreed that expanding that section to include language about inclusion and diversity would not be sufficient. It asked that further discussion be held on this issue toward identifying the best way to communicate and implement an organizational commitment to these principles. During the Octoher 2nd Roard meeting, Rob Tobin will facilita te a discussion on diversity and inclusion toward developing a policy statement and effective strategies for its implementation. To inform that d iscussion, the following are provided for review: • CMF Documents: (a) 1997 Statement from CMF's Principles & Best Practices Document; and (b) relevant section from CMF's new Values Statement. • COF & Donors Forum of Chicago policy statements on diversity and inclusion • Key Findings from "Building a Better Foundation: A toolkit for creating an inclusive grantmaking organization." Donors Forum of Chicago, Minnesota Council on Foundations, Northern California Grantmak,e rs, and New York Regional Association of Grantmakers, 2001. • Key Recommendations from "Diversity Practices in Foundations: Findings from a National Study". Joint Affinity Groups, 200 I . • Sample Diversity Statements from Select Associations and Corporations. �40 CMF DOCUMENTS Principles & Practices (1997) Draw on the full range of human talents available for board service, staff, and consultants. o o Some grantmakers have established a diversity policy to help them in considering how to obtain the best qualified individual for each task. Some grantmakers consider the demographics of their geographic area served when nominating board members and selecting staff. Values Statement (2001): Item One We build relationships to last: o With members first o With the philanthropic, non-profit, private, and public sectors, and general public second. o Through advocating and networking. o Our goal is to know every member well, to represent every individual engaged in organized, Michigan-based philanthropy, and to include a diverse group of members in our thinking and planning. o Our existing and future relationshlps with leaders in all sectors are buill to bring added value to our members individually and collectively. �41 COF & DONORS FORUM OF CIDCAGO Policy Statements on Diversity & Inclusion DONORS FORUM OF CIDCAGO (1996) Inclusiveness Policy The Donors Forum of Chicago, recognizing the diversity of Chicago's population and the value of having diverse perspectives and participation, is committed to providing equal opportunity to all people without regard for race, color, religion, gender, age, disability, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation or veteran status, in all aspects of its own organizational operations. The Donors Forum promotes inclusiveness in order to ensure that a range of perspectives, opinions and philosophy, are an integral part of the work carried out to fulfill the organization's mission. The Donors Forum shares the perspective that all people are pivotal to the improvement of the quality of life and need to be participants in the decision making process which involve issues that affect them. COUNCIL ON FOUNDATIONS lnclusivity Statement The Council on Foundations was formed to promote responsible and effective philanthropy. The mission requires a commitment to inclusiveness as a fundamental operating principle and calls for an active and ongoing process that affums human diversity in its many forms, encompassing but not Jjmited to ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, economic circumstance, disability and philosophy. We seek diversity in order to ensure that a range of perspectives, opinions and experiences are recognjzed and acted upon in achieving the Council's mission. The Council also asks members to make a similar commitment to inclusiveness in order to better enhance their abilities to contribute to the common good of our changing society. Management Support and Resources The Council provides technical assistance, information and resources to assist members in making their organizations better able to address the needs of the diverse society in which we live. �42 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FROM " Building a Better F oundation: A toolkit for creating an inclusive grantmakiog organization."

Develop or refer to written materials that communicate diversity objectives. Committed organizations articulate the importance of diversity through their insitution' s mission, vision, values...

Implement the Policy with these steps in mind: • Inform board and trustees about the value of diversity; • Undergo or provide traitllng to board, management, staff to increase understanding and improve communications at the outset of any diversity initiative. • Plan, dedicate needed resources, and evaluate progress as diversifying takes time, energy, and perseverance. • Gatht:r data through focus groups, surveys, and/or diversity audits to assess your organization' s diversity climate, and to identify areas of concern and desired outcomes. • Establish clearly defined internal goals, responsibilities and accountability mechanisms to design the initiative and identify professionals required. • Hire consultants, if expert and impartial help is needed. • Anticipate some failures, internal resistance, and departures and be willing to change systems and remove institutional barriers if necessary. �44 SAMPLE DIVERSITY STATEMENTS FROM ASSOCIATIONS & CORPORATIONS AMERICAN ZOO AND AQUARIUM ASSOCIATION Diversity Statement AZA recognizes and embraces the values of human diversity. We accept the moral and practical imperatives of our changing society, as well as the impacts of these changes on our personal and professional lives. We value and seek the strengths of human variety with respect to age, culture, gender, national origin, personal values and beliefs, physical abilities, race, religion and sexual orientation.

Objective To reflect the greater Austin community in membership demographics, program topics and issues, community involvement, and broader sponsorship. We plan to do this by: Increasing the diversity of AHRMA membership within currently underrepresented groups through active recruitment; Disseminating information about and promoting the use of Historically Underutilized Businesses among AI-IRMA members; Supporting community events which facilitate selection, development and retention of a diverse workforce; Sharing practical information from local business leaders who have a visible commitment to diversity in the workplace. Strategy Our strategy is to position diversity as a component critical to our individual and organizational success as human resource professionals by: a. Acknowledging diversity as part of everything we do as opposed to a "stand alone" or "something extra" that we'll do if we have time. This means that diversity must be reflected in the philosophy, policies and practices of AHRMA as well as communicated through local best practices. b. Providing members with tangible skills and competencies in managing and maximizing diversity. This means information communicated to members through newsletters, programs, conferences must have a high "practical application quotient." c. Connecting diversity to bottom line performance measures that all members can identify, understand and commit to �46 HEWLETT PACKARD Diversity: Is the existence of many unique individuals in the workplace, marketplace and community that includes men and women from different nations, cultures, ethnic groups, lifestyles, generations, backgrounds, skills, and abilities.

Response to September 11 CMF sent out a special resource sheet to all members on September 14. In addition, we surveyed members and have created a September 11 response section on the cmif.org website. A copy of this section is included at the back of your Board book. In response to a call from State Education Superintendent Tom Watkins, Kathy Agard and her team at Learning to Give pulled together six lesson plans that have now been disseminated statewide by Tom's office.
