Advancing giving. TAB6 June 1, 2004 Memo to: S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Dave Egner, Susan Broman and Karla Hall, Co-Chairs Public Policy Committee and Vicki Rosenberg, COO Re: Public Policy Committee Report At the Board Dinner on June 9 you will have the opportunity to meet Julie Ford who will begin on July I as our second Public Policy F ellow . Julie cannot attend the Board Meeting on June 10 due to a fami ly obligation, but her resume is enclosed. We are excited about having her join the team, but we also have bittersweet feelings in wishing Brian Flahaven well in his next endeavor, wh ich we hope will still be in the nonprofit sector. With the unanimous support of the Pu blic Policy Committee, the following resolution is presented for your consideration and action. RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Council of Michigan Foundations extends our appreciation to Brian Flahaven for your many contributions to CMF, our Public Policy Committee and the promotion of a strong nonprofit sector in Michigan through service as the first Public Policy Fellow for CMF, and we wish you continued success in your career endeavors of service and leadership. Brian's year of service with CMF ends on June 30. Once again, we offer our appreciation to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and CMF's Ratmy Riecker Fund for providing the funding for this valuable position - the only position of its type with a regional association of grantmakers. As indicated below, the last five months have been exceptionally active for the Public Policy Committee. The range, pace, and quallty of accomplishments would not have been possible w ithout Brian's contagious enthusiasm, leadership and unabashed promotion of public policy. Summary of Committee Activities Early Matters zero to five Early Matters: An Early C hildhood Forum for Grantmakers & Policy Makers Early Matters is a partnership of the Public Policy Committee, Office of the Foundation Liaison, and the Family Foundations Ready by Five Study Group. A Steering Committee �Public Policy Report June 2004 Page 2 chaired by Susan Broman, Steelcase Foundation; John Colina, Colina Foundation; and Carol Paine-McGovern, Paine Family Foundation is leading this on-going initiative. The first Early Matters activity was an all day forum for grantmakers and policy makers held April 22, 2004 Forum in Lansing. Its goals were to: (a) build awareness/knowledge among public and private sector stakeholders; (b) bring new voices/visions to the discussion; and (c) encourage community-based action, new public-private partnerships, and system change. The Forum signaled an expanded role for the Committee- a facilitator of coordinated and aligned multi-sector work around specific issues. Over 60 foundation representatives, 25 state department staff (FIA, DCA, DOE, etc.), 15 service providers, and staff from the Republican and Democratic policy offices participated in the Forum. Participants were seated in mixed groups by region where they engaged in structured, facilitated dialogue and produced action plans. Evaluation results showed very high levels of satisfaction with the event, with particular emphasis on excellent plenary speakers and the mixed-group discussions. Speakers included: Gov. Granholm; Marianne Udow, Director, FIA; Joan Lombardi, Director, The Children's Project; and Joan Firestone, Early Childhood Director, Oakland Schools. Their remarks were captured on digital video for future dissemination and will be summarized in a post-event brochure and on the CMF website. The Forum was fully underwritten making it possible for state department and legislative staff and legislators to attend free of charge. The Committee thanks the following CMF members for their support: Colina Foundation, Cook Family Foundation, Fremont Area Community Foundation, Paine Family Foundation, Skillman Foundation, Steelcase Foundation, and Whirlpool Foundation. The Forum agenda, list of sponsors and Steering Committee members, and a May 6, 2004 CMF News Wire article on the event are attached for your information. Early Childhood Survey The Committee's work on Early Matters leveraged a contract from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to conduct in-depth telephone surveys of over 100 Michigan foundations that fund early childhood issues. A report is due in July. The survey instrument was developed with input from an Advisory Committee comprised of Susan Broman, John Colina, Carol Goss, and Marvin McKinney. A team of graduate students and Brian Flahaven conducted the calls under the supervision of lead researcher Susan Miller. Aging Briefing, March 25, 2004 Sharon Gire, Director, Office of Services to the Aging, spoke to 25 foundation representatives about the implications of Michigan's aging population on policy related to land use, workforce development, and other issues at a March 25 Briefing in Lansing. The Briefing was designed in partnership with CMF members Glenn Kossick, Metro Health Foundation and Tim Wintermute, Hannan Foundation. A panel of funders �Public Policy Report June 2004 Page 3 presented their perspectives on this issue. A post-event recap and materials will be available in the Working with Govemment section of www.cmif.org. Working with Government Section of www.cmif.org The Public Policy section of the Working with Government area ofwww.cmif.org is updated regularly with news stories, public-private partnerships involving CMF members, and other important news about the Committee's six focu s issues. We invite all trustees to browse this excellent resource for grantmakers, legislators, and others. CMF Coverage of Early Childhood and other public policy priorities Toward achieving its goal of educating CMF members and increasing their awareness of the importance of public policy engagement and about the Committees, six focus issues, CMF published several articles in its print and electronic newsletters and on its website. These include: Memo to Members (April 2004) ~ Special Profile on Pat Babcock ~ Full page article on Early Matters ~ Full page article on the Foundation Liaison ~ Short article on the Early Childhood Survey Michigan Grantmaking Scene (Winter 2004) .~ Full page update on Foundation Liaison's role ~ Brief article on the Working with Government website ~ Article on K-12 Reform ~ Article on Governor Granholm's plenary session at 2003 Annual Conference with focus on Land Use and Early Childhood CMF News Wire (Spring 2004) ~ "Michigan IDA Partnership Update" (3.23.04) ~ "Foundations Increase Support for Health Policy Activities (3 .30.04) ~ "Foundations and State Policymakers Forge New Alliances in Early Childhood" (5 .6.04) E-Bulletin for State Policymakers In June 2004, CMF will launch its £-Bulletin for State Policymakers informed by focus groups and interviews Brian Flahaven conducted in early spring. Goals are to: inform elected officials about public policy issues from the foundation sector's perspective; and increase their awareness about the work of Michigan grantmakers and of CMF as a valuable information resource about that work. Public Policy Handbook In time for the 32nct Annual Conference, the Public Policy Committee will publish a grantmakers guide that covers the why, what, and how of advocacy work. The guide will include a case study of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's advocacy work and several vignettes about the work of other CMF members. �Public Policy Report June 2004 Page 4 ATTACHMENT ONE 2004-2005 PUBLIC POLICY FELLOWSIDP - JOB DESCRIPTION Posit ion: R eports to: Public Policy & Philanthropy Fellow Vice President & COO Location: Grand Haven, Ml Date: February 2004 Position S ummar y Provide support to the Council of Michigan Foundations' (CMF) Public Policy Committee (PPC) including external relations, policy research and analysis, program development, writing, web content development and maintenance, participating in CMF staff meetings, annual strategic planning discussions and Board meetings.

The genesis of this new strategic alliance was the growing need by grantmakers and state officials to find better ways to protect, educate and advocate for Michigan children in a time of dwindling state resources. An April 22 event entitled: " Early Matters: Early Childhood Forum for Grantmakers and Policymakers" drew scores of fow1dation trustees and executives, public policy analysts, state department directors, legislators and Michigan's governor seeking to form coordinated collaborations on early childhood initiatives. A year in the making, the forum was developed with input from the business community, funders, legislators and state policy analysts and designed to provide these key stakeholders with an up-to-the-minute knowledge of what is happening in the areas of research, best practices and policy. The pairing of the public policy/philanthropic communities to address a single, imp01tant issue of statewide significance was the brainchild of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) which sponsored the forum in Lansing along with the Office of the Foundation Liaison and the Legislative Children's Caucus. Most imp01tantly, this successful melding of public/private interests, ideas and resources is expected to be the catalyst to align ftmders and state policymakers on many other issues of mutual concern to ensure maximum impact with limited dollars, according to Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm. "The success of this initial joint effort by foundations and the state on issues of importance to both of us will spur more strategic collaborations and partnerships and the beneficiaries of these efforts will be all Michigan citizens, said Granholm. Forum Co-Chair Susan Broman, executive director of the Steelcase Foundation, was excited about the potential that emerged out of discussions held at the fomm. "An understanding was developed that both grantmakers and the state can bring something different and important to the table and that together we can form a terrific strategic alliance,'' said Broman. "Many great ideas were shared by both sides on how best to address early childhood development needs. Communication is the key and this hopefully is just the first of many state issues we will work on together." One initiative already credited to the new, ongoing dialogue between funders and state officials was announced at the forum by Marianne Udow, director of the state's Family Independence Agency. "We have created a Children's Cabinet within the administration where directors from all those agencies that touch in any way on a child's life get together and discuss what they are doing, look at new stTategies and make sure we are all working together," said Udow. "This is a lesson we have learned from foundations, how to maximize our impact through coordinated efforts and make best use of what resources we have," she added. Forum Co-chair John Colina, president of the Colina Foundation, challenged grantmakers and state policy expe1ts to continue to "break down the waUs between us" for the good of Michigan citizens. "This was a tremendous oppo1tunity to interact with the people responsible for setting state policy in these areas and to see where we as grantmakers can become involved and have the most impact," said Colina. The likelihood of success not only on new, early childhood development programs, but other equally important social needs such as health care, has been greatly enhanced in Michigan thanks to this emerging partnership between funders and state officials, said Joan Lombardi, Senior Policy Fellow at the National Institute for Early Education Research and one of tbe key note speakers at the event. "Both sides are now coming together to work toward positive, systemic change and that is when success is most likely,'' said Lombardi. " I believe this new model ofpartnering developed by CMF will set the standard that other states and their funders must emulate." Carol Goss, fomm co-chair and vice president/programs at The Skillman Foundation, agrees. "Having the opportunity to sit down with state policymakers and try to develop and discuss new ways to address these issues which are of importance to all of us, is a tremendous step fonvard," said Goss. "This is certainly the start of a great collaborative effort." �Public Policy Report June 2004 Page 10 One of the strategies used at the fonun was having policymakers and grantmakers meet in small groups separated by regions to promote dialogue on what can be done collaboratively at the local level, said David Farley, executive director of the Albion Commw1ity Foundation. "Every city and region has different needs and goals," said Farley. 'This discussion format allowed us to talk about how we can better utilize our resources locally and what impact state decisions are having on us. This type of strategizing can be done this way on any state issue where we have a common interest. [t really works." State Senator Patty Birkholz and Representative Michael Murphy applauded the work Michigan foundations have undertaken to help children in need and also for forging new relationships with state policymakers. "The work you are doing is so vitally important," said Birkholz. " Unfortunately the state at this time is not in a position to provide the financial resources needed to address all these concerns, but with the creation of these strategic collaborations between the public and private sectors we can accomplish much." Murphy echoed those sentiments, adding, "CMF's efforts in engaging its members to work with the state in the public policy process is a tremendous move forward for all of us. This collaboration brings together the best from both sides."

('C:)t"f'\•ed . 06.10.04 Board Materials94.jpg �Introduction The Purpose of the Original Study At the request of several of our members, the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) retained Cambridge Associates, Inc. (CA) in the late fall of 1998 to evaluate the private foundation payout rate required by the federal government, based on the real returns of a group of Michi gan private foundations over a 25-year period. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sustainable real (int1ation-adjusted) level of payout for private foundations in light of the actual experience of a sample of private foundations with diversified portfolios located in the State of Michigan. To that end, CA assembled and analyzed historical data from 48 Michigan foundations that had been in continuous operation since 1973, and included data up through the end of 1997 (a twenty-five year period). For the purposes of this study, several approaches were taken to answer the question of how much a fund can spend without depleting its real value over time1 : The actual returns earned by the sample group of Michigan foundations over the period 19731997 were analyzed to test whether the actual experience ofthese foundations tracked closely with index results over the same period. While most payout studies had concentrated on modeling index data, there had not been an attempt (to our knowledge) to examine the actual experience of private foundations prior to this study. In addition, the actual spending history of the sample foundations was analyzed over the same period to detem1ine the foundations' ability to comply with the 5% spending mle given the market volatility of the last three decades. The results of this sh1dy were published in April of 2000, and are availabl e on th e Council of Mich igan Foundations website at www.cmif.org/ documents/payout. pdf Using historical index returns, analysis of hypothetical portfolios invested 65% in U.S. equities and 35% in U.S. bonds from 1969-1998 was reviewed to determine what would happen if a foundation's annual spending was set at various annual rates. ' For the purposes of the ach1al historical spending analysis, data from all48 foundations in the sample group were used. For the purposes of the actual historical returns analysis, returns data from 33 of the 48 foundations were used, excluding those 15 foundations with significant single-stock holdings. A STUDY COMMISSIONED BY THE C OUNC IL OF M ICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS 06.10.04 Board Materials95.jpg �The Purpose ofthe Current Update Conclusions Given the extreme market movements (up and down) since 1997, we wanted to update the basic data of the original study to see how the passage of five more years (1998- 2002) influenced the data and conclusions of the original report. In keeping with the April 2000 study, the first part of this update will focus on the actual investment returns and payout histories of the Michigan sample group between 1973 and 2002 (a now thirty-year period). The second part examines the direct effects of various payout rates on real payout levels and market values of the hypothetical 65/35 index portfolio described above. As noted in the 2000 study, a 65/35 blend was chosen because it approximated the average asset allocation of the sample group. The inclusion of updated market data from 19982002 confirms the major points of the original study: 2 SusTAINABLE PAYOUT FOR FouNDATIONs Updated simulations using historical index data from 1969 -2002 confirm that a 5% spending rate is probably too high to maintain purchasing power in perpetuity. The addition of return data from 1998-2002 shows that the market value ofa fund spending 5% during this 34-year period would end up below its 1969 value in real terms by 2002. The actual return experience of a sample of Michigan foundations does not support a rate of higher than 5%, either. Adjusted for inflation, average annualized returns for the sample group over the past 25- and 30-year periods are only slightly above IRS mandated payout rate of5%, at 5.27% and 5.08%, respectively.

('C:)t"f'\•ed . 06.10.04 Board Materials96.jpg �Part I the passive index blend were very close, while the inflation-adjusted return for the sample foundations exceeded the current 5% rule by only 27 basis points. The results for the thirty year period 1973-2002 period are much the same, though the difference between the passive b lend and the foundation sample narrowed significantly. Inflation-adjusted returns declined from 5.27% for the 25-year period ending 1997 to 5.08% for the 30-year period. Return Experience of the Response Pool As noted above, prior to the publication of our study in 2000, much of the analysis regarding the sustainable level of spending for private foundations was done by modeling passive index returns. The chart below illustrates to what extent the actual returns of the foundations in the Michigan sample group mirrored those of a hypothetical portfolio constructed with passive indexes (composed of the same 65%/35% split outlined above). More importantly, it also illustrates the extent to which actual foundation returns fell short of or exceeded the 5% payout rule adjusted for inflation. In both periods shown below, returns are since 1973, with the returns reported in the original study shown on top and the returns through 2002 shown below. ror the 25-year period between 1973 and l 997, actual returns for the Michigan group and The initial conclusions of the 2000 study appear to be confirmed by the addition of five more years of data (see chart). In 2000 we noted that modeling based on passive indexes was likely to provide a reasonable approximation of actual foundation experience. We also concluded that, in order for foundations to be sustainable over long periods of time, a payout rate of 5% was appropriate.

A horizontal line is drawn beginning in 1982 to indicate the period in which the 5% payout rule was in force. As noted in the original report, prior to 1983 actual payout rates averaged 6.6%, since payout requirements mandated the higher of adjusted net income (including interest and dividends) or a "minimum investment return" ranging from 4.375% to 6%. Average payout between 1983 and 1993 was actually below the 5% level for the following reasons: In the five years following 1993, payout rates hovered around the 5% mark with relatively little volatility. 1998-2002 Update A vertical line is drawn at 1998 to indicate the period for which data was added since the April2000 report was published. Since 1998, foundation payout rates have stayed quite close to the mandated 5% level, continuing the trend begun in the early 1990s.3 The IRS allowed carry-forward credits for over disbursements in years prior to 1982. Higher bond and equity valuations, coupled with a one-year grace period for payout requirements, resulted in effective annual disbursements of less than 5%. 2 Exhibit l serves to update Exhibit 4 from the April, 2000 report. However, this graph is dollar-weighted, giving the few largest foundations disproportionate weight. If we remove the single largest foundation from this analysis, volatility around the 5% mark actually increases between 1999 and 2002. This may be more reflective of the typical foundation 's experience during this period. As equity markets surged i11 the late 1990s, effective payout rates dropped below 5%, and as markets slumped after 2000, payouts spiked significantly. 3 4 SusTAINABLE PAYOUT FOR FouNDATIONs Copyriglu ·C! 200-l h~ Cruubridge .l\.'i:o>Oei.1t~.

('C:)t"f'\•ed . 06.10.04 Board Materials98.jpg �Part II The Effect of Various Spending Rates on Real Payout Levels and Fund Market Values Since the analysis in the previous section demonstrated that a blend of passive indexes approximates the return history for the Michigan sample, we can use that same passive index blend to illustrate the effect of market cycles on Foundation assets and payout of long periods of time. This is shown in Exhibit 2. Findings from 1969 - 1998 The period shown here begins towards the end ofthe great bull market of the 1950s and 1960s. By 1968, the diversified Michigan foundations we surveyed had over 50% of their assets allocated to equities, virtually all invested in U.S. stocks. In the decade ofthe 1970s that followed , stocks posted anemic nominal returns and negative real returns. By 1998, only the funds spending 4% and 5% had maintained their real asset values (having taken nearly thirty years just to regain their 1969 levels), while the 6% and 7% funds remain substantially poorer than they were in 1969. Effects ofthe Recent Bear Market W hile market values continued to rise between 1998 and 2000-bringing all funds except the one spending 7% above their 1969 payout levels for the first time in 30 years-the subsequent bear market since 2000 has returned all but the 4% fund to sub-1969 levels. As of2002, on ly the 4% fund had preserved its real wealth since 1969, while even the 5% fund had declined nearly 18% from its begitming real value. Between 1998 and 2002, there was a 31 % decline in real market value for the fund spending at the 5% mandated level. Note that by the end of 1998, real inflationadjusted sp ending for each of these funds remained below the 1969 level of $5, with the sole exception of a hypothetical fund spending 4%. A STUDY COMMISSIONED BY THE C OUNC IL OF M ICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS 06.10.04 Board Materials99.jpg 5 �Variable Versus Constant Spending Rates in a Bear Market The two charts in Exhibit 3 are designed to show the effects on a fund that succumbs to pressure to raise payout towards the end of a bull market. Both funds are invested 65% in U.S. equities and 35% in U.S. bonds. Fund A, however, follows a steady 5% payout (computed on a four-quarter basis), while Fund B employs a variable rate. Specifically, Fund Braised its payout rate at the end of the bull market of the late 60s, increasing payout from 5% in 1969 to 7% in 1973. As a result of the ensuing bear market, Fund B gradually reduced its payout to 5% again by 1978. For the purpose of this exhibit, we assume that Fund B again adjusts its distributions during the late 90s, raising payout rates to 5.5% in 1997,6% in 1998,6.5% in 1999, and 7% in 2000. As a result of the bear market that began in 2000, payout is reduced to 6% in 200 1 and 5% in 2002. As a result of Fund B 's increasing payout rates during the bu 11 market of the 1990s the disparity between the two funds' real m~rket value widens, further impairing Fund B's futu re spend ing level-which by 2002 has dropped almost 20% below its 1969 level in real dollar terms. Through 1998, cumulative spending from both funds over the period was nearly identical (Fund A had cumulative spending of$94.82 per $100 of original value, while Fund B had $94.1 7). Nonetheless, the higher absolute spending achieved by Fund A by the end of the period means that if the two funds follow identical spending rules, in the long run Fund A will have a higher cumulative spending. This is exacerbated if Fund B continues to vary its spending heading into a bear market. Because it has paid out more, Fund B is more severely depleted than Fund A in the subsequent market decline, and its spending consequently lags that of Fund A when the markets recover. Although the real market value of both funds has recovered by 1998 (Fund B having just exceeded $100 million again), both are still spending less in 1998 than they did in 1969 i_n real dollar tem1s. 6 SusTAINABLE PAYOUT FOR FouNDATIONs Copyriglu ·C! 200-l h~ Cruubridge .l\.'i:o>Oei.1t~. Inc. i\11 rigl1ts. ('C:)t"f'\•ed . 06.10.04 Board Materials100.jpg �Conclusions The question raised by Cambridge Associates' original study in April 2000 was: What is the sustainable level of payout for private foundations? The analysis perfmmed then suggested that payout rates above 5% will result in the erosion of both a foundation's real asset value and its real payout distributions over time. The data included in this update reaffirm those conclusions. Past levels of index returns (using index data as a proxy) do not support a payout rate above 5%. The long-term historical actual returns from a sample ofMichigan foundations do not support a rate of higher than 5%. The more recent data ( 1999- 2002) illustrate the negative effect even short-term market fluctuations can have on a foundation's ability to maintain long-term historical real returns above 5%. Accordingly, the current 5% payout rate provides founding donors with a reasonable expectation that real payout will be maintained in perpetuity. To raise the currently mandated rate would eliminate that expectation by undermining the ability of private foundations to provide a sustainable level of real payout over time. Looking briefly to the future, if market valuations cannot sustain their current high levels (more than a full standard deviation above historical averages), foundat ions will be hard pressed to generate inflation-adjusted returns above the 5% required payout. While the focus of this study is to ascertain a sustainable level of payout for foundations and not to argue in support of sustainability, it bears pointing out that real payout levels and market valuations of private foundations could be particularly sensitive to a change in required payout rates over the next I 0 - 20 years. Varying spending rules based on market movements (i.e ., raising payout after periods of strong market returns) can have a significant, detrimental effect on long-term cumulative payout levels.

Grantmaking With Trust & Integrity November 3-5, 2004, Dearborn We look forward to having you with us at the 32nd Annual Conference, Grantmaking with Trust & Integrity, which starts at 12:30 p.m., on Wednesday November 3rd with Networking Lunches. Registration materials will be given to you at the Board Meeting. Conference Design In addition to three plenary sessions, six mini-plenaries and 24 concurrent sessions, the 32"d annual conference offers registrants several excellent opportunities including; • Two Experienced Grantmaker Seminar.5, an increase from the one offered in prior years: "The Role ofPower & The Power of Role" with GrantCraft; and "GIS Mapping Systems" with Dr. Larry Gant, University of Michigan. • New Jl1icro-Workshops, quick lessons on effective use of technology including the CMF website, GuideStar, GIS mapping and on-line grant applications. • Six Site Sessions. • 2/1{1 Annual CMF/GrantCraft Pre-Conference Invitational Workshop on change management; and Building Strong & Ethical Foundatiom with the Council on Foundations. • Ask the Expert appointments on governance, evaluation, grantmaking, change management, strategic communication, the Patriot Act and foundation effectiveness. • Breakfast Roundtables on topics from "The Role of Philanthropy in Venture Capital" to "Entrepreneurial Leadership" and "Early Childhood." • Exciting evening events- Wednesday at the Hyatt honoring the Ford family as Honorary Chairs with special entertainment by the SPINX organization and a special edition ofNPR's Wait, Wait ... Don 't Tell Me with host Peter Saga!; and The Sands of Time Party at the Henry Ford Museum wjth drummers, dancers and a middle eastern ensemble and singer to celebrate Dearborn. PROMOTION In addition to direct mail, blast email, fax and phone, this year we have tried Annual Conference E-Bulletins on each of the four Monday's preceding the conference week. Each bulletin has an article on a high profile speaker or session, links to registration, and information on special opportunities. �32"d Annual Conference Report October 25, 2004 Page 2 Registration As of October 25, full registrations were at 68% of budget and partials were at 62% of budget (see Table One below for details). We are pleased that 56% of registrations were made on-line, 6% more than last year indicating increased use of the web. Final numbers will be provided at the Board meeting. Final registration numbers are expected to be close to last year's total of705 by the time we meet in Dearborn. Several factors may have contributed to the below expected registration numbers including: the Nov. 2"ct election, economy, location (many fami ly foundations plan to attend the 2005 conference in Traverse City and to skip Dearborn), and competing fall conferences such as the COF Community Foundation Conference in Minneapolis earlier this month, and the Independent Sector Conference in Chicago the week of November 7. Considering the fiscal impact of low registrations, we recommend conducting a member survey and focus groups to inform future planning.

Judy is a past board chair ofCMF. The summer reception provided a wonderful opportunity for members to network, and to hear an important update on the congressional hearings focused on further regulation of the charitable sector. Special guests included Nancy Drew - artist, author and designer - from Niles Michigan, who has volunteered to be artist in residence at a future Annual Conference. Be Ready by Five, A Family Foundations Learning and Support Group A group of family foundation trustees, formed over three years ago, continues to meet regularly and discuss the issues of early childhood and school readiness. Recently Be Ready by Five meetings have focu sed on visiting early childhood programs in different regions of the Michigan. The committee met in Grand Rapids on June 3 to make a site visit to the Child and Family Resource Council to learn about the H ealthy Start program, the Advocacy Project, and the Connections for Children project. On September 13, the group met in Owosso to visit the Shiawassee ABC. The next site visit meeting will take place in the Southgate/Grosse Ile area in early 2005. The group recently developed a brochure featuring grant ideas for all types of programs (Health, Arts, Religion, Education and Environment) to help Michigan's youngest �Family Philanthropy Report October 25, 2004 Page 2 citizens. The brochure will be distributed to all of Michigan's family foundations. (A copy is in the back pocket of the Board meeting notebook.) In addition, the members of Be Ready by Five are hosting a reception in the fami ly foundations hospitality suite (Room 501) on Wednesday, November 3 at 5 p.m. and welcome any CMF trustees who are interested in learning more about their activities. Family Foundations Newsletter-The Family Philanthropist CMF has completed its first year of collaboration with the Ohio Grantmakers Forum (OGF) on the development and production of a national regional association family foundations newsletter. The newsletter with an annual subscription price of $20 per family foundation member of the subscribing regional association, was developed to be a valuable marketing tool for new members as well as a "value-add" for current members. The recent edition included articles that contained practical tips and advice for family foundations regardless of size or age, written by experts such as Judith K. Healey and Marcus Owens. (A copy is also in the back pocket of the Board meeting notebook.) Charter subscribers included Donors Forum of Chicago, Connecticut Council of Philanthropy, Delaware Valley Grantmakers, Indiana Grantmakers Alliance, Council of New Jersey Grantmakers, Grantmakers of Oregon and SW Washington, Rochester Grant.makers Forum, San D iego Grantmakers, D onors Fomm of South Florida, and Washington Grantmakers.

She will cochair the committee with Julie for the next year prior to assuming chairmanship. In addition to reviewing past 2004 programs and activities, the committee discussed new programming ideas for family foundations.

After exploring various options for staffing this position, Susan Howbert discovered an opportunity to share 40% of this position (and cost) with the John & James Knight Foundation, which was looking for a part-time support person for its Detroit office. We are pleased to announce that Beverly Spriggs started this position on September 27, 2004. Note 4: Publications & Printing The variance from budget is due to the Foundation Center fees to produce the 14'11 Edition of the Foundation D irectory; which have not been billed to CMF as of9-30-04. The Directory is scheduled for release in late November or D ecember of this year. Note 5: Professional Services Based on a review of the 990 PF for some of our corporate foundation members the issue regarding expenses that a corporation can charge to its foundation needs clarification. This issue revolves around the disqualified persons rules for private foundations and expenses that can be charged from the corporation. CMF has enlisted the help of our legal counsel Clark Hill and COF to offer guidance on what we feel is an issue for the entire country.

Advancing giving. October 26, 2004 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: David R. Lindberg RE: Resolution for Banking/Investing Activities RESOLVED that the President & Chief Executive Officer, VP of Finance & Administration and Chief Operating Officer are authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of CMF and its supporting organizations, such printed resolutions deemed necessary to establish or continue relationships with various banks and investment management firms. Except for checking accounts, those relationships shall be established based on the direction of the CMF and Supporting Organization's Investment Committee. Background Occasionally staff are required to open new investment accounts based on direction from the Investment Committee. In order to open a new account the bank or investment firms typically require the board to adopt a resolution to establish this new relationship. To prevent delays in these transactions, management is recommending that the Board adopt this standing resolution as recommended by CMF legal counsel, Clark Hill. It should be noted that in all cases a formal resolution will still need to be signed by an approp 'riate officer of the corporation, which is typically the Secretary or Treasurer.

Advancing giving. October 26, 2004 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Robert E. Swaney, Jr., Chair CMF Investment Committee Re: June 30, 2004, Investment Report RESOLVED that the June 30, 2004, Investment Report, as reviewed by the Investment Committee, be accepted. On October 19, 2004, the Investment Committee met to review and accept the enclosed report. 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), meets to review the investment performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds. Recent Issues Addressed by the Investment Committee: KYIP Investments CMF is currently holding $11,188,685 received from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for the purpose of supporting permanent endowment funds for three Kellogg Youth Initiative Partnership sites. With a distribution plan formally accepted by the three sites the Investment Committee has moved these funds from equities and fixed income securities to money market instruments and U.S. Treasuries. Pooling of Investment of CMF Endowment Funds With a adoption of a new software package which allows for the allocation of investment income from a pooled investment account to separate endowment funds staff has completed the consolidation of the eight endowment funds into one account at both Comerica and Bank One (vs. 16 accounts in the past). This process follows the community foundations which typically pool their different endowment accounts (vs. a separate account for each fund) and significantly reduces the administrative time to rebalance the investments and book the monthly investment income to the various endowment funds. �Investment Report October 26, 2004 Page 2 The enclosed Investment Report is presented in three sections. Investment Performance Report The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation fommla listed below, using the Lipper median returns provided by Comerica on a quarterly basis. Asset Class S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 REIT International Equities Short Bond Bond High Yield Bond Fund Cash Allocation 37% 9% 6% 5% 13% 12.5% 12.5% 5% 0% The Lipper returns are based on the following asset classes. Lipper Large Cap Core Lipper Mid Cap Core Lipper Small Cap Core Lipper Real Estate Equity Lipper International Lipper Corporate Debt A Rated Fixed Income Asset Allocation Report The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that instructs CMF's Vice President of Finance to rebalance the endowment fund portfolios on a quarterly basis. To keep administrative time to a minimum CMF maintains one checking account to pay all endowment fund expenses. The negative cash balances are the result of endowment fund expenditures from the CMF checking account, which are periodically reimbursed, by transfening cash from the endowment funds to the CMF general checking account.

Advancing giving. October 25, 2004 Memo to: S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members ofthe Board of Trustees From: Libby Maynard & David Kennedy, Co-Chairs, Government Relations Committee Rob Collier, President Re: Legislative Goals Statement and other Business The Committee met by conference call on October 6 and October 20 and as a result, offers the following three resolutions for your review and consideration. I. Legislative Goals Statement RESOLVED that the Legislative Goals Statement, a copy of which is attached, be approved with the 2004 updates noted in bold. Background We draw your attention especially to Goals 9, 15 and 16: Goal 9 includes text on the work of the Federal Flection Commission to regulate 527 organizations and thereby also 501c(3) organizations. Goal 15 recommends support of legislation that would require a 5 percent payout for donor advised funds. As the explanation indicates, this Tecommendation supports the national standards for community foundations that all Michigan community foundations are working on subscribing to. Goall6 addresses the need to support efforts to update the IRS Forms 990 and 990PF. Finally, Goal 4 in the State section provides an update on legislation to update the Charitable Solicitation Act that affects community foundations and our public charities members that are involved in fund raising as well as grantmaking. II. Position on State Budget Crisis RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations supports bipartisan efforts to seek long term fiscally responsible solutions, including but not limited to the state's tax structure, that will provide sufficient government funding to services critical for the quality of life expected and deserved by all residents. �Government Relations Report October 25, 2004 Page 2 Background At the June Meeting of the Board of Trustees, a document from the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Socially and Fiscally Responsible Solutions to the State Fiscal Crisis Recommendations to the State Policymakers, was discussed. Because one of the recommendations is to decouple the Michigan Estate Tax from the Federal Estate Tax, a step that contradicts an existing CMF Legislative Goal, the Board of Trustees agreed by consensus to not take a position on this document. However, the Board did ask that staff develop a position statement with input from the Government Relations Committee. The proposed Resolution addresses the interest that CMF take a position to support bi-partisan efforts. III. Senate Finance Committee Discussion Paper R ESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations supports recommendations in the Senate Finance Committee discussion paper to improve the Forms 990 and 990-PF and to allow for the sharing of information between federal and state regulators, and further opposes recommendations in the paper to impose new fees on the nonprofit sector and to change the treatment of administrative expenses. Background The Committee realizes that it will need to spend more time on the many issues raised by the Senate Finance Committee discussion paper. The 19 page Senate Finance Committee discussion paper with its suggested 41 regulatory reforms is enclosed along with an issue summary prepared by Rob Collier with proposed support and oppose positions. Also enclosed is the announcement from Independent Sector ofthe Panel it has been invited to convene to help frame the nonprofit sector's response. We are pleased that Bill Richardson, Bill White and Dottie Johnson, along with Sam Singh, president of the Michigan Nonprofit Association, are all on the panel representing Michigan. The Committee intends to have a conference call with these four individuals later this fall to discuss the work of the Panel and how CMF can assist. Staff, with the assistance oflegal counsel Duane Tamacki, will send a letter to Senators Levin and Stabenow with the positions recommended in the above resolution. Rob Collier will work with Ranny Riecker in presenting this information to Congressman Camp. �CMF Council of M ichigan Foundations Serving grontmaXers. Advancing giving. COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN 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 ofTmstees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March 1, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; April 12, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995; October 30, 1996; March 13, 1997; November 4, 1998; October 14, 1999; October 2, 2000, October 2, 2001, September 29, 2002, November 10, 2003 and November 3, 2004.* I. INTRODUCTION Foundation and corporate giving has long been a unique part of American society, supported by appropriate federal and state legislation and regulations. While there have been reforms at both levels of government to encourage giving, there have also been provisions in past legislation, such as the 1969 Tax Act, and regulations that serve as disincentives for the creation of new foundations, as well as discourage charitable donations to existing foundations. Because the mission of CMF is to increase, improve and enhance philanthropy in Michigan, the Board ofTmstees has adopted as one of six operating goals- to work with government 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. In 1977, the Members of CMF directed the Board of Tmstees to develop a public information program that wou ld 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 represent CMF Members on their legislative interests and priorities. CMF works with foundation and corporate Members, the Council on Foundations, other regional associations of grantmakers and the Fomm of Regional Associations of Grantmakers, Independent Sector, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and other nonprofit organizations to enhance the understanding of public policymakers about philanthropy and to bring about appropriate legislative changes in laws and regulations. As a result of these efforts by CMF and others, the following goals have been accomplished. *Bolded text signifies 2004 update. Page I �II.

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. *Bolded text signifies 2004 update. Page 2 �Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private fow1dation, 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, 198 1 -Private Foundations: The Payout Requirement and Its Effect on Investment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study "Spending Policies and Investment Planning/or Foundations, " 1995, sponsored by the Council on Foru1dations.) A CMF sponsored study, completed in May 2000 and updated in 2004 by Cambridge Associates, Inc. of the actual performance of a group of Michigan endowed private foundations, confim1s the position of maintaining the payout rate at no more than 5 %. The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy and the National Network of Grantmakers continue to advocate for legislation introduced that would increase the required payout to 6%. As a result of the compromise that was agreed to by the House on the 2003 CARE Act, some foundations could elect to increase their payout to an estimated 5.4% to handle proposed new regulations concerning administrative expenses or take steps to reduce their administrative expenses not related to grantmaking. However, because the CARE Act never made it to a Conference Committee, new legislation dealing with the treatment of administrative expenses is expected in the 2005 Congress. 2. Goal: Change the limitation on gifts to a private foundation from 20 percent to 30 percent of AGI for gifts of appreciated property and from 30 percent to 50 percent of AGI for gifts of cash. 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: Individual taxpayers may deduct the full fair market value of a gift to a private foundation of appreciated property in the form of publicly-traded stock, if the gift is less than 10 percent 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. *Bolded text signifies 2004 update. Page 3 �Explanation: The 1984 Tax Act allows the excise tax on investment income to be reduced from two to one 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 I percent of the foundation's net investment income. Private foundations are the only 501(c)(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax. The current fonnula is difficult to administer and can limit charitable giving. Simplification to a flat one percent is an acceptable intennediate step and enjoys bipartisan support in the House and the Senate. It was included in the 2003 House version of the CARE Act, but because the CARE Act has not gone to a Conference Committee, no action is expected in 2004. New legislation wiU need to be introduced in 2005. 5. Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and repeal the three percent floor on itemized deductions. Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, Congress approved a three percent floor in deductions. This floor was scheduled to expire at the end of 1995, but in 1993 was made pem1anent. 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 fow1dations are required to treat them as private foundations. Any grant from a private foundation to another private foundation requires that tl1e 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. *Bolded text signifies 2004 update. Page 4 �Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form that permjts itemized deductions; instead they file the short form that allows only a standard deduction. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize charitable contributions within certain limits, but the deduction expired January 1, 1987. The CARE Act passed in 2003 by both the Senate and the House includes a two-year limited deduction. Although considered a priority of President Bush, the Senate has not allowed this legislation to go to a Conference Committee. Thus no action is expected in 2004. The Senate Fiscal Agency has evaluated the cost of the nonitemizer and deemed that it will cost the federal government more than it will generate in new charitable giving. As a result Senator Levin has indicated his nonsupport for this issue. Independent Sector, that has been the lead advocate, is reassessing whether it will promote this issue in a new CARE Act in 2005. 9. Goal: Support reasonable limits on the degree to which foundations and charities can lobby or otherwise influence public policy decisions and oppose unreasonable limits that adversely affect grantmaking. Explanation: Continuous monjtoring is ,e ssential to oppose unreasonable and unnecessary regulatory reporting burdens on both foundations and their grantees. For example, in 2004 the activity of the Federal Election Commission has generated significant interest by grantmakers and their grantees. On March 4, 2004, the Federal Election Commissioners approved a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM-POF), which was published in the Federal Register with a request for public comments. In addition to proposals specific to 527s, the FEC asked for comments on whether 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations should be included in the definition of political committees. Political committees are prohibited from raising money from corporations (including nonprofit corporations) or unions or from using contributions in excess of $5,000 from an individual to pay for electioneering activities. Political committees must also disclose names of contributors in regular reports to the FEC, and contributions to such committees are not tax-deductible. Independent Sector (IS) worked with a group of members to prepare comments (PDF) on the FEC's proposed rule of March 2004 that were co-signed by 80 organizations. IS's comments focus on the serious impact the proposed changes would have on 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) nonprofits and stress the following points: 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations should be excluded from the definition of political committees. Current tax law already limits the lobbying and partisan political activities of these groups. The FEC should maintain its current, clear distinction between " express advocacy" communications (those that clearly call for a vote for or against a particular candidate or political party) and other nonpartisan communications. It should not *Bolded text signifies 2004 update. Page 5 �adopt IRS standards for partisan advocacy, which were designed for a different regulatory and enforcement regime. Voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities should only be considered political expenditures if they are clearly tied to a candidate or party. Activities targeted to specific populations (e.g., women, African Americans, a particular neighborhood, members of a particular organization) should not be considered political "expenditures" simply because those populations may be " more likely" to vote for a particular candidate or party. The FEC should not issue rules without further guidance from Congress. Major changes such as those contemplated deserve full debate and action by elected representatives. 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. However, income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Private foundations should be treated in the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain real property. 11 . Goal: Permit tax-free distribution from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes. Explanation: It is proposed that direct gifts from an IRA to a charitable organization would not be taxed as income to the account-holder who has attained the age of 59 Y2 years of age, if the disbursement is made directly to either a qualified charity or a qualifying deferred giving plan. It is anticipated that such a law would increase contributions to many charitable organizations, including community foundations. This issue has received bi-partisan support in both the House and Senate versions of the CARE Act. Because the Conference Committee has never met to resolve differences in the age of 59 Y2 or age 70 Yz, the Act will not be voted on in 2004. Legislation on this issue will likely be introduced in 2005 with the age of 70 Yz because it is less expensive to the federal budget in terms of lost revenue. 12. Goal: Avoid excessive regulations on corporate giving. Explanation: CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation, which would require costly administration. The House version of the 2002 Corporate and Accounting: Accountability and Transparency Act included three reporting provisions (all Board service by officers, directors, and significant family members; all gifts of $10,000 or more; all transactions valued at $10,000 or more) that would have a negative *Bolded text signifies 2004 update. Page 6 �impact on corporate philanthropy. Working with the Council on Foundations, CMF was successful in ensuring that this provision was not included in the Senate version, the version signed into law in the summer of 2002 by the President. Representative Gilmore of Ohio continued in 2003 to introduce legislation to impose additional reporting requirements on corporate giving programs, but the legislation has never made it out of Committee. He is expected to reintroduce the Bill again in 2005 without sufficient Committee support to bring it to a vote. 13. Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 2001 on creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations. Explanation: The "Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of2001" passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President in June 2001, phases out the Estate Tax between 2002 and 2010. Full repeal however is only in effect for the year 2010. The estate tax then reverts, unless new legislation is passed, to the 2000 tax code status. 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. While President Bush has indicated that it is a priority to make the repeal of the estate tax permanent, the Senate leadership has not been able to obtain sufficient support from both parties to support such a step. Legislation is expected to be introduced in 2005, based on the results of the November 2004 Presidential election, to try again on a vote for permanent repeal. 14. Goal: Support efforts to incorporate philanthropy as an objective of legislation providing financial resources to character education and other K-12 educational initiatives. Explanation: CMF was successful through the Learning to Give initiative in having the word "giving" added to the definition of character education in the 2002 Education Bill signed by President Bush. Learning to Give is assisting when appropriate national partners and universities to ensure that giving is incorporated in new character education programs funded by the Department of Education. While Learning to Give was successful in obtaining a delegation wide 2003 earmark request for $2.5 million, the request did not receive support from the Administration. Efforts will continue to seek federal resources to support programs implementing Learning to Give. 15. Goal: Support legislation requiring a five percent payout for Donor Advised Funds. Explanation: Legislation is expected in 2005 that would impose a payout requirement on Donor Advised F unds similar to that required of private foundations. The legislation would define Donor Advised Funds as public charities that primarily make grants to charitable beneficiaries pursuant to advice provided by the donor. The proposal is caused by concerns of members of Congress that some Donor Advised Funds administered by organizations such as the F idelity Gift Fund never make a charitable distribution. Because the five percent payout is *Bolded text signifies 2004 update. Page 7 �recommended by both Michigan and national standards for community foundations, it seems appropriate to support such legislation. 16. Goal: Support efforts to make the IRS forms 990 and 990PF more useful to the public, foundations, charities and regulators as prime sources of reliable information on the nonprofit sector. Explanation: Recent efforts by the Foundation Center, National Center on Charitable Statistics, and Council on Foundations to present accurate data to Congress on the administrative costs of operating a private foundation, indicate that the existing 990PF and companion 990 For m are inadequate in their current formats. A review of 30 990PF returns by CMF staff in January 2004 confirmed the problems fliers are having with the current forms. The Foundations Financial Officers Group, with Michigan representation, is beta testing a revised 990-PF form in the fall of 2004. Introduction of a new form is expected for 2006. V. STATE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES 1. Goal: Monitor and support the continued granting of property tax exemption by local units of government to foundations. Explanation: CMF, working with partners such as the Michigan Nonprofit Association, will closely monitor cases that could adversely impact foundations, such as in Ann Arbor, where nonprofit organizations are being forced by local tax authorities to appeal their tax exemption status to the State Tax Tribunal, and if needed, consider filing letters of support with the Tax Tribunal. 2. Goal: Support legislation encouraging a tax-deduction for charitable contributions from individuals. Explanation: Other states have found that a tax deduction mirroring the federal tax code does motivate additional gifts by individuals to charities. While the introduction of legislation in tough economic times is unlikely, the Michigan Nonprofit Association is taking the lead in promoting this issue with the legislature. 3. Goal: Promote 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 Healthy Youth and Healthy Senior purposes. Explanation: Michigan's share of the national tobacco settlement ($206 billion over the next 26 years) between 46 states, five commonwealths and territories and the District of Columbia with five tobacco companies, representing 97.5% of the industry, is $8.3 billion. The master settlement agreement does not specify how states may spend their settlement payments. Since 2001 , CMF has distributed more that $20 million of interest earned on the tobacco settlement funds not used for the Merit Scholarship Program and earmarked annually through the Department of Career Development budget. Annual advocacy is required to insure that the Legislature understands the valuable role *Bolded text signifies 2004 update. Page 8 �community foundations play in this distribution and continues the annual budgeting allocation. Because of the State's fin ancial budget problems, no funds were appropriated for this effort in 2004. Discussions are ongoing with the Administration about receiving an allocation from the Healthy Michigan Fund for 2005 as well as from the State' s increased tobacco tax in 2006. 4. Goal: Support legislation to simplifY the Charitable 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. The Michigan Nonprofit Association is leading the effort on this issue. Senate Bill1114 has been introduced with support from Attorney General Cox and is expected to be acted on in 2005. Negotiations are still ongoing between MNA, the Senate, and the Office of the Attorney General about the proposed sliding fees that will be charged for the first time to receive this license. 5. Goal: To monitor administration of the permanent community foundation tax credit and its relationship to other existing and proposed tax credits. Explanation: As a result of term limits CMF staff continually work with legislators to explain the tax credit and the role of community foundations. There is an on-going effort by other nonprofit sector groups such as hospitals, schools and community development corporations to obtain targeted tax credits without acknowledgement of the potential to meet their needs through the existing community foundation tax credit. In addition, CMF staff assists Treasury Department staff to insure that the re-certification process is working with certified community foundations that cover all 83 counties. 6. Goal: To assist the Charitable Trust Section of the Attorney General's office, an important source of information about charitable giving and the nonprofit sector in Michigan. Explanation: In 2004 Attorney General Cox approved creation of a Nonprofit Advisory Council to the Charitable Trust Section, led by his Deputy Attorney General Carol Issacs. CMF has three representatives on the Council, which is considered a national model and is now being replicated buy other Attorneys General. The Committee will meet three times a year and assist the Section on issues related to charitable giving and charities. In addition, the staff leader of the Section attends the CMF Annual Conference. This relationship is vital because there are recent cases in which state attorneys general have initiated litigation against foundations for excess compensation and self dealing abuses as well as examples of unfavorable state legislation initiated by attorneys general.

Page 9 �StaffDiscussion Draft This discussion draft is released by the Finance Committee as a staffdocument. The document reflects proposals for reforms and best practices in the area of tax-exempt organizations based on staff investigations and research as well as proposals from practitioners, officers and directors ofcharities, academia and other interested parties. This document is a work-inprogress and is meant to encourage and foster additional comments and suggestions as the Finance Committee continues to consider possible legislation. A. Exempt Status Reforms 1. Five-year review of tax-exempt status by the IRS. On every fifth anniversary of the IRS's determination of the tax-exempt status of an organization that is required to apply for such status, the organization would be required to file with the IRS such information as would enable the IRS to detem1ine whether the organization continues to be organized and operated exclusively for an exempt purposes (i .e. whether the original detennination letter should remain in effect). Information to be filed would include current articles of incorporation and by-laws, conflicts of interest policies, evidence of accreditation, management policies regarding best practices, a detailed narrative about the organization' s practices, and financial statements. Such infonnation would be made publicly available. The IRS would not be required to issue a new determination letter (or to review all organizations), but would be permitted to revoke tax-exempt status if a review undertaken by the IRS concluded that the organization no longer was entitled to exemption. Failure to file the fiveyear review would result in loss of tax-exempt status. A sliding scale processing fee would be charged of all filers by IRS/EO to cover all costs of the reviews performed. (If adequate funding is provided from a 990 fili ng fee or appropriation of the tax on net investment income of private foundations, a fee for the five-year review may not be required).' 2. Donor advised fund reforms In general, donor advised funds (DAF) are public charities that primarily make grants to charitable beneficiaries pursuant to advice provided by the donor. Donor advised funds are not defined under present law and arc not subject to any special rules regarding organizational and operational requirements; yet the donor advised fund model is susceptible to abuse. Definitional and other requirements with respect to DAFs would include: 1) Contributions to a DAF other than cash or publicly traded securities would have to be sold within one year of contribution and a plan for sale must exist at the time of gift (alternatively, a DAF may accept only cash or 'The term "charities" or "charitable organizations" when used in this staff discussion draft refers to any organization described in section 501(c)(3). Page 1 of 19 �publicly traded securities); 2) a DAF would not be permitted to make grants to a non-operating private foundation or to individuals; 3) a DAF would be required to secure from the grantee an acknowledgment that the grant will not convey a private benefit to the advising donor; 4) a DAF would be required to meet an aggregate annual payout consisting solely of grants paid of 5 percent of the DAF's assets - failure to meet the payout would result in a tax similar to that applicable to private nonoperating fom1dations; 5) individual accounts in a DAF would have to meet a minimum activity threshold; 6) a DAF would be required to disclose its existence on its Form 990 and show satisfaction of the payout and all other requirements; 7) grants by a DAF to nondomestic organizations would be pcmutted only if the nondomestic organization appears on an IRS published list of approved foreign orgruuzations; 8) DAF grants would be pennitted to satisfy a donor's charitable pledge; 9) a DAF's investment mrumgers would be hired according to arm's length principles; 10) a DAF generally would not be permitted to expend amounts for grantee selection, such as site visits, that extend beyond basic due diligence of grant approval; and 11) fees for refermls or transfers of funds to a DAF would be limited. 3. Supporting organizations Eliminate Type ill supporting organizations. This has been an area of significant abuse. Donor Advised Funds can effectively substitute to serve legitimate purposes of such organizations.2 4. Revise exemption standards for credit counseling organizations A nonprofit credit counseling agency would be eligible for exempt status as ru1 organization described in section 501 (c)(3) or (c)(4) only if it: (1) at all times conducts as its primary activity (a) the providing of educational information to the general public on budgeting, buying practices, and the sound use of consumer credit; (b) assisting individuals and families with financial problems by providing them with individual counseling tailored to their specific needs and circumstances, ru1d, if necessary, by establishing budget plans; or (c) any combination of such activities; (2) makes no loans to debtors, negotiates no loans on behalf of debtors, and provides no credit repair services (i.e., services for the purpose of improving any consumer's credit record, creclit history, or credit rating) or similar services; (3) may not refuse to provide counseling services to a consumer due to inability to pay or to qualify for debt management plan enrollment, or because of a consumer' s unwillingness to enroll in a debt management plan; (4) limits any debt management and similar services to individuals or families for whom a debt management plan is determined to be the most appropriate means to relieve fmancial distress; (5) at all times bas a board of directors or other governing body (a) that is controlled by persons who represent the broad interests ofthe public, consisting of public officials acting in their capacities 2 Sce Donors Set Up Grant-Making Groups, Then Borrow Back Their Gifts, Lipman and Williams, the Chronicle of Philanthropy, February 5, 2004. Note: the sources cited in this staff discussion draft are not intended to be exhaustive of the materials relied on in this draft but are provided to be helpful to the reader. Page 2 of 19 �as such, persons havin g special knowledge or expertise in credit counseling and education, and commwuty leaders, such as elected or appointed officials, clergy, educators, civic leaders, or other such persons representing a broad cross-section of the views and interests of the community; and (b) not more than 20 percent of the voting power of which is vested in persons who are employed by the organization or who will benefit financially, directly or indirectly, from the organization's activities (other than through the receipt of reasonable directors fees); and (6) is not related to a person that is in the business of lending money or that provides debt management, credit repair, payment processing, and similar services. In addition to the above, a credit counseling agency would be exempt as a charitable or educational organization only if it (1) at all times is organized and operated exclusively for charitable or education purposes; (2) charges no fees or nominal fees for services provided to low-income individuals and families and for credit counseling or education services (and waives its fees in those instances where payment would work a financial hardship), receives no compensation for referrals for services provided to the consumer, and does not solicit voluntary contributions from its clients during the initial counseling process or while the client is receiving services from the organization; (3) limits any debt management services to low-income individuals and fam ilies; and (4) satisfies all other requirements of section 501 (c)(3). A nonprofit credit counseling agency would be eligible for exempt status as an or ganization described in section 501(c)(4) only if it: (1) charges no or nominal fees for its credit counseling and education services (and waives its fees in those instances where payment would work a financial hardship), receives no compensation for referrals for services provided to the consumer, and any fees charged for debt management and other services must be reasonable in relation to the services provided by the organization to the client; and (2) satisfies the other requirements of section 501 (c)(4). 5. Revoke charitable status for accommodations to tax shelters Charitable organizations that are deternuned by the IRS to be accommodating parties to a listed tax shelter transaction or reported transactions (with a significant purpose oftax avoidance) must have received affinnation that the transaction is not a listed or reported transaction. Failure to receive such an affirmation would result in revocation of section 170 status (ability for donors to receive charitable deduction for contribution) for one year with reinstatement only after detennination by IRS. There would be a 100 percent tax on all accommodation fees or other direct benefits - net of certain costs to charity. B. Insider and Disqualified Person Reforms 1. Apply private foundation self-dealing rules to public charities and modify intermediate sanction compensation rules Under present law, excise taxes apply if private fow1dations engage in acts of self-dealing Page 3 of 19 �with disqualified persons. Self-dealing transactions generally include the sale, exchange, or leasing of property; the lending of money or other extension of credit; the furnishing of goods, services, or facilities; payment of unreasonable compensation by a private foundation; transfer to or use by a disqualified person of a private foundation 's income or assets; and certain payments to govermnent officials. With the exception of the payment ofunreasonable compensation, these rules would be extended to public charities (and social welfare organizations) so that, in general, self-dealing transactions bct\veen a public charity (or social welfare organization) and a disqualified person would result in excise taxes. In general, the definition of disqualified person for purposes of the private foundation rules would be adopted for public charities, except that adjustments would be made to include persons with substantial influence over the organization, and the rules would be modified as necessary to take into account relationships with affiliated or supporting entities. With respect to compensation, the regulations that apply to the compensation arrangements of public charities generally would be modified with respect to the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness and reliance on expert opinion as to reasonableness.3 2. Expand definition of disqualified person For purposes ofthe self-dealing rules (as modified to apply to public charities and social welfare organizations), the defmition of a disqualified person would be modified to include a corporation or partnership with respect to which a disqualified person is a person of substantial influence. 3. Increase taxes for self-dealing, .ieopardizing investments, and taxable expenditures Initial taxes for acts of self-dealing (including as applied to public charities) would be increased from 5 percent to XX percent of amount involved with respect to the self-dealer and from 2.5 percent to XX percent with respect to the foundation manager. The tax on the foundation management for participation in ajeopardizing investment of the foundation would be increased from 5 percent of the amount invested to XX percent. If a foundation manager fails to agree to correction of the jeopardizing investment, the penalty for such failure would be increased from 5 percent of the amount of the investment to XX percent. The tax on foundation managers for agreeing to make a taxable expenditure would be increased from 2.5 percent of the amount expended to XX percent. 4 3 See Reforming Nonprofit C01poration Law, Hansmallll, 129 U. Pa. L. Rev. 497, 569 573 (1981) (proposal of flat prohibition against a11 self-deal ing transactions involving controlled persons in nonprofit organizations). 4 See Governing Nonprofit Organizations: Federal and State Law and Regulation, Fremont-Smith, Belknap Harvard, p. 455 (2004) (advocating removal of punitive taxes imposed on foundations but advocating at the same time adoption of more meaningful sanctions on foundation managers who have caused the foundation to enter into the prohibited transactions; considers whether the standard for sanctions on manager involvement in prohibited transactions Page 4 of 19 �4. Compensation of private foundation trustees Many private foundations choose not to pay any compensation to trustees. Some private foundations, however, choose to pay trustees significant sums as compensation for work that some would argue should be conducted voluntarily and not to the detriment of charitable bencficiaries.5 Under the proposal, compensation to tmstees of a nonoperating private foundation would not be permitted; or, in the alternative, would be permitted up to a statutorily prescribed de minimis amow1t. 5. Compensation of disqualified persons. Compensation of disqualified persons at nonoperating private foundations (other than persons who are disqualified by reason of employment) must use comparable federal government rates for similar work and similar time to support salary. Compensation (or severance payments) to other individuals above $200,000 (and above $75,000 for disqualified persons- not including persons who are disqualified as a manager) trigger filing of additional supporting material with the IRS, which would be publicly available. The IRS would charge a sliding-scale processing fee to review. In addition, all compensation that is subject to special IRS filing requirements must be approved annually and in advance by the Board of Directors (excluding from the approval process those members of the Board who have a conflict with respect to the compensation being considered). C. Grants and Expense Reforms 1. Treatment of administrative expenses of nonoperating foundations Private nonoperating foundations that have administrative expenses (which would be defined for this purpose as any expense of a private nonoperating foundation other than a grant to charity) above 10 percent of the foundation's total expenses would be required to file additional supporting material with the IRS, which would be publicly available. Review by the IRS of such supporting material would include a review for purposes of determining whether the administrative expense was "reasonable and necessary" for purposes of counting as a qualifying distribution w1der the payout rules. The IRS would charge a sliding-scale processing fee to review. Administrative costs above 35 percent of a foundation's total expenses would not count should be "knew or should have known" instead of the present law standard of knowledge that the act involved was a violation and was not willful and was due to a reasonable cause -"a heavy burden for the IRS to prove.") 5 See Foundation Trustee Fees: Use and Abuse, Ahn, Eisenberg and Khamvongsa, The Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership, Georgetown Public Policy Institute (September 2003). Page 5 of 19 �as a qualifying distribution for purposes of the payout requirement. 2. Encourage additional grant-making by private foundations For each year that a private foundation pays out more than 12 percent of the foundation's non-charitable use assets retum exclusively for grants, the foundation would not have any liability for the excise tax on net investment income in such year. 3. Prohibit foundation grants to donor advised funds. In order to prevent circumvention of foundation anti-abuse rules, private foundations would be prohibited from making grants to donor advised funds. 4. Limit amounts paid for travel, meals, and accommodation For purposes of paying expenses for travel, meals, and accommodation, charities would be subj ect to the applicable U .S. government rate, or an alternative established/published nonprofit corporate rate (perhaps published by the IRS). A penalty for failure to comply would be 10 percent of the excess payment, payable by the organization and disgorgement of the excess by the individual. Public charities would not be subject to such limitations if, for each expense in excess of the limitation, the Board of Directors of the charity approves the expense and such approval is disclosed on the charity's Form 990. D. Federal-State Coordination of Actions and Proceedings 1. Establish standards for acquisition/conversion of a non-profit Concerns have been raised that conversions of tax exempt organizations to for profit organizations have not been conducted in a manner that sufficiently protects charitable interests and assets. The proposal would establish standards for review by State/Federal authorities of conversion transactions to ensure that the acquisition or other conversion occurs only if it is found by the State or Federal reviewer to be necessary to serve the public interest and best serves the interests of the intended beneficiaries of the organization's assets. IRS reporting requirements would be imposed on an exempt organization considering a conversion and would be publicly available (e.g., notification of the IRS within 10 days of establishing intent to pursue a conversion transaction; execution of letter of intent to convert; execution of definitive agreement to convert; adoption of conversion plan; adoption of material changes to the plan or agreement; and consummation of conversion plan). In addition, the organization must provide the IRS a reasonable opportunity to participate in a conversion proceeding conducted or overseen by State authorities, both as a creditor relating to potential unpaid conversion taxes and as a protector of charitable trust assets. Completion of conversion would have to be conditioned upon IRS approval of the conversion (or failure to disapprove within one year of seeking approval) or consummation of con version would trigger Federal tax liability for the organization at the highest Page 6 of 19 �corporate/trust incom e tax rate on unrealized built in gains on assets held by the organization at the time of conversion (including any assets disposed of in contemplation of conversion).6 This would apply to any substantially similar transaction where major charitable assets are transferred to a for profit entity. IRS would be allowed to impose a filing fee. The proposal would impose modified self dealing or excess benefit tran saction rules with respect to severance arrangements and stock (and stock rights) arrangements with r espect to successor entities to address officer and employee compensation arrangements entered into with respect to conversion transactions, and establish reporting requirements for the same. 2. Provide States the a uthority to pursue federal actions States would be provided the authority to pursue certain Federal tax law violations by exempt organizations with approval of the IRS . States already are provided such authority with respect to certain F ederallaw violations that are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. E. Improve Quality and Scope of Forms 990 and Financial Statements The Form 990 (and related Forms 990-PF and 990-EZ) is an annual information return filed each year with the IRS by most exempt organizations. In general, its purpose is to provide detailed financial and programmatic information about the organization. The form is publicly available and serves as the basis for oversight of tax exempt organizations and infonnation to the public. In a report to the Finance Comm ittee, the General Accounting Office found significant problems in the accuracy and completeness ofForm 990.7 Other studies, including by the General Accounting Office, have highlighted that there are no common standards for filing the Form 990 and thus similarly situated charities can have very different Form 990s.8 Because of the significant role played by the Form 990 in public and governmental oversight of tax-exempt organizations, som e reforms are necessary to ensure accurate, complete, timely, consistent, and informative reporting by exempt organizations. 6 See generally, The Fiduciary Duties of Nonprofit Directors and Officers: Paradoxes, Problems, and Proposed Reforms, Goldschmid, 23 Iowa J. Corp. L. 631,651 -52 (1998) (suggesting heightened scrutiny and disclosure for conversions). 7 GA0-02-526 Tax-Exempt Organizations: Improvements Possible in Public, IRS, and State Oversight of Charities (April 2002). 8See Reengineering Nonprofit Financial Accountability: Toward a More Reliable Foundation for Regulation, Keating and Frumkin, Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations and The Ke1medy School of Govemment, Harvard University (August 2000) and Can Public Trust in Nonprofits and Governments B e Restoretfl, Herzlinger, Harv. Bus Rev., (March-April 1996). Page 7 of 19 �1. Require signature by Chief Executive Officer Require that the chief executive officer (or equivalent officer) of a tax-exempt organization sign a declaration under penalties of perjury that the chief executive officer has put in place processes and procedures to ensure that the organization's Federal infonnation return and tax return (including Form 990T) complies with the Internal Revenue Code and that the CEO was provided reasonable assurance of the accuracy and completeness of all material aspects of the return. This declaration would be part of the information or tax return. A similar proposal in the Senate JOBS bill requires that the CEO of a taxable corporation make an attestation regarding the corporation's tax return. 2. Penalties for failure to ftle complete and accurate 990. The present law penalty for failure to file or to include required information is $20/dayup to the lesser of $10,000 or 5 percent of gross receipts per return (increased to $1 00/day up to $50,000 per return for organizations with gross receipts over $1 million in a year). Under the proposal, the penalty for fai lure to file would be doubled and for organizations with gross receipts over $2 million per year, the present law penalty would be tripled. Failure to file a required 990 for two consecutive years (or for three of four years) could result in loss of tax exemption, or other penalties such as loss of status as an organization to which deductible contributions may be made.• In addition, a separate penalty of $20/day would apply to each failure to include required information on a filed 990 (for example, failure to check a required box), up to a per retum maximum of the lesser of $20,000 or 5 percent of the organization's gross receipts. For organizations with gross receipts over $1 million the rate would be $40/day with a per return maximum of $50,000. For organizations with gross receipts over $2 million the rate would be $75/daywith a per return maximum of$100,000. Additional penalties could be brought against a CEO who signs the return as well as against a paid preparer (including employees)." All penalties would be retained by Exempt Organizations within the IRS. 3. Penalty for failure to tile timely 990 Extended delays in filing the Form 990 affect the ability of donors to evaluate a charitable organization for purposes of making contributions as well as effective oversight. Under the 9 The CARE Act of 2003 contains a proposal that generally would revoke the exemption of an organization that failed to file a Form 990 for three consecutive years. 10 The CARE Act of 2003 contains a proposal that generally extends the present law penalty on return preparers of a tax return to persons who prepare (for compensation) the inforn1ation return of an exempt organization. Page 8 of 19 �proposal, extensions of greater than 4 months would be considered a failure to file. 4. Electronic filing The IRS may require tax exempt organizations to file electronically. The IRS would be required to have electronic filing capability in place by January 1, 2006. The IRS would be required to capture all data required to be reported through electronic filing by January 1, 2007. The IRS also would be required to coordinate electronic filing with State officials to assist State law enforcement, encourage unifonn reporting and simplify reporting for tax exempt organizations. 5. Standards for filing The IRS must promulgate standards for filing a Form 990. Standards would be required by January 1, 2006. As noted above, because there are no standards for filing a Form 990, similarly situated charities can have materially different Form 990s. As a financial statement will be required for most large charities, the standards for the financial statement should conform with the similar data requests from a Form 990. 6. Independent audits or reviews. Form 990 (and/or annual report) would be subject to a review by an independent auditor for conformity to established Form 990 filing standards. The auditor's report would be attached to the Form 990 and would be a public document. In addition, for an exempt organization with over $250,000 of gross receipts, an independent audit of the organization's financial statemen ts would be required, including certification regarding the organization's exposure to the unrelated business income tax. A new auditor must be used at least every five years. If the organization's gross receipts exceeds $100,000 but is not more than $250,000, its financial statements must be reviewed by a certified public accountant." 7. Enhanced disclosure of related organizations and insider transactions Require, as an attachment to Form 990, an affiliations chart showing the organization's relationship w ith its affiliated exempt and nonexempt organizations. Require enhanced 990 reporting of formation of taxable subsicliaries, and enhanced disclosure of an exempt organization's transactions with such organizations. Require enhanced 990 reporting of insider deals and ancillary joint ventures. Require that an exempt organization attach to Form 990 a schedule listing all partnership interests and the tax exempt organization's role in the partnership. Require that an exempt organization attach to F onn 990 all tax opinions received by the 11 See generally, BBB Wise Giving Alliance, Standards for Charity Accountability (BBB), Standard 11, and Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) Standard 3. Page 9 of 19 �organization involving agreements with insiders, and all conflicts of interest opinions. 8. Disclosure of performance goals, activities, and expenses in Form 990 and in financial statements Charitable organizations with over $250,000 in gross receipts would be required to include in the Fonn 990 a detailed description of the organization's annual performance goals and measurements for meeting those goals (to be established by the Board of Directors) for the past year and goals for the coming year. The purpose of this requirement would be to assist donors to better determine an organization's accomplislunents and goals in deciding whether to donate, and not as a point of review by the IRS. Charitable organizations would be required to disclose material changes in activities, operations or structme. Charitable organizations would be required to accmately report the charity's expenses, including any joint cost allocations, in its fmancial statements and Fonn 990.12 Exempt organizations would be required to report how often the Board of Directors met and how often the Board met, without the CEO (or equivalent) present. 9. Disclose investments of public charities Public charities would be required to make publicly available, upon request, the charities' investments. A somewhat similar, but more extensive requirement, is already placed on private foundations. Smaller public charities would not be required to provide such information. F. Public Availability of Documents Public oversight is critical to ensuring that an exempt organization continues to operate in accordance with its tax exempt status. For charitable organizations, public oversight provides donors with vital information for determining which organizations have the programs and practices that will ensure that contributions will be spent as intended. Oversight is facilitated under present law by mandated public disclosure of infonnation retums and applications for taxexempt status, but more can be done. 1. Disclosure of financial statements Exempt organizations would be required to disclose to the public the organization's financial statements. 2. Web-site disclosure 12 See BBB, Standard 13. Page 10 of 19 �Exempt organizations with a web-site would be required to post on such site any return that is required to be made public by present law, the organization's application for tax exemption, the organization's determination letter from the IRS, and the organization's financial statements for the five most recent years. 3. Publication of final determinations The results of audits of tax-exempt organizations and closing agreements with tax exempt organizations would be disclosed without redaction." Disclosure may be redact the organizations identity if the audit is initiated pursuant to a voluntary disclosure by the tax-exempt organization to the IRS. 4. Require public disclosure of Form 990-T and affiliated organization returns The Fonn 990-Tis the tax return filed by exempt organizations with unrelated business taxable income. The fonn would be made public (with appropriate redactions, e.g., for trade secrets). In addition, the tax returns filed by affiliated organizations would be made public (perhaps as part of a revised Form 990-T)." 5. Require public corporation filing of charitable giving return. Publicly-traded corporations would be required to file annually with the IRS a return showing all gifts over $10,000 (in the aggregate) for which a charitable deduction is claimed by the corporation in the corporation's taxable year. Such return would be made publicly available. G. Encourage Strong Governance and Best Practices for Exempt Organizations 1. Board Duties 13 Tills proposal follows a recommendation of the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation. Joint Committee on Taxation, Study ofPresent-Law Taxpayer Confidentiality an Disclosure Provisions - Volume II: Study ofDisclosure Provisions Relating to Tax-Exempt Organizations (January 28, 2000), p. 5-7 (noting that such information will be of benefit to the public in determining whether the organization is in compliance with the law and how the organization is using funds). 14 This proposal follows a recommendation of the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation. Joint Cmm11ittee on Taxation, Study ofPresent-Law Taxpayer Confidentiality an Disclosure Provisions- Volume II: Study ofDisclosure Provisions Relating to Tax-Exempt Organizations (January 28, 2000), p. 93. Page 11 of 19 �A charitable organization shall be managed by its board of directors or trustees (in the case of a charitable trust). 15 In performing duties, a Board member has to perform his or her duties in good faith; with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances; and in a mmmer the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the mission, goals, and purposes of the corporation. An individual who has special skills or expertise has a duty to use such skills or expertise. Federal liability for breach of these duties would be established. Any compensation consultant to the charity must be hired by and report to the board, and must be independent. Compensation for all management positions must be approved annually and in advance unless there is no change in compensation other than an inflation adjustment. Compensation arrangements must be explained and justified and publicly disclosed (with such explanation) in a manner that can be understood by an individual with a basic business background. · The Board must establish basic organizational and management policies and procedures of organization and review any proposed deviations. · The Board must establish, review, and approve program objectives and performance measures and, review and approve significant transactions. · The Board must review and approve the auditing and accounting principles and practices used in preparing the organization's financial statements and must retain and replace the organization's independent auditor. An independent auditor must be hired by the Board and each such auditor may be retained only five years. · The Board must review and approve the organization's budget and financial objectives as well as significant investments, joint ventures, and business transactions. · The Board must oversee the conduct of the corporation's business and evaluate whether the business is being properly managed. · The Board must establish a conflicts of interest policy (which would be required to be disclosed w ith the 990), and require a summary of conflicts determinations made during the 990 reporting year. · The Board must establish and oversee a compliance program to address regulatory and liabil ity concerns. 15 The duties of a board that are described in this paper would also be the duties of a trustee for a charitable trust. Page 12 of 19 �The Board must establish procedures to address complaints and prevent retaliation against whistleblowers.16 All of these requirements must be confirmed on the Form 990. Relaxation of certain of these rules might be appropriate for smaller tax exempt organizations. 2. Board Composition Board shall be comprised of no less than three members and no greater than fifteen. No more than one member may be directly or indirectly compensated by the organization. Compensated members may not serve as the board's chair or treasurer.17 For public charities, at least one board member or one-fifth of the Board must be independent. A higher number of independent board members might be required in limited cases. An independent member would be defined as free of any relationship with the corporation or its management that may impair or appear to impair the director's ability to make independent judgments. 3. Board/Officer Removal Prohibition on services. Any individual that is not permitted to serve on the board of a publicly traded company due to Federal, State (or exchange) law may not serve on the board of an exempt organization. Any individual that has been criminally convicted of a Federal or State charge of fraud, or similar offense, may not serve on the board or as an officer of an exempt organization for 5 years after the conviction. Any individual who has been convicted of a crime under the laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, U .S. Postal Service or State Attomey General for actions related to service as an officer or director of a tax exempt organization (or the crime arose from an organization tl1at falsely presented itself as a tax exempt organization) may not serve as an officer/director for a tax exempt organization for 5 years. An organization or its officers/members that knowingly retained a person who is not so pem1itted to serve such organization would be subject to penalty.' 8 IRS Authority. The IRS would have the authority to require the removal of any board 16 See The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Implications for Nonprofit Organizations, BoardSource and h1dependent Sector (2003)(useful discussion of provisions ofwhistleblower protections and other provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley and nonprofit organizations). 17 See generally, BBB Standard 4, ECFA Standard 2. 8 See generally Wrongdoing by Officers and Directors of Charities: A Survey ofPress Reports 1995-2002, Fremont-Smith and Kosaras, 42 Exempt Organization Tax Review 25 (2003) (noting the number of repeat offenders in the survey) and Where the Law Ends: the Social Control ofCorporateBehavior, C. Stone, 148-189 (1975) (advantages of suspension in corporate world). ' Page 13 of 19 �member, officer, or employee of an exempt organization who has been found to have violated self-dealing rules, conflicts of interest, excess benefit transaction rules, private inurement rules, or charitable solicitation laws. The IRS may require that such individual may not serve on any other exempt organization for a period of years. An organization that knowingly retained a person who is not so permitted to serve would lose tax exempt status or be subject to a lesser penalty. 4. Government encouragement of best practices. Grru1t-Making and Contracts. In determining the recipients of Federal government grants and contracts to tax exempt organizations, the responsible Federal govermnent agency issuing the grant or contract would be required to give favorable consideration to organizations that are accredited by IRS designated entities that establish best practices for tax exempt organizations. The IRS would rumually detennine those organizations, with a preference for orgru1izations that perform an independent review of accredited organizations and that audit applications for accreditation. 19 Combined Federal Campaign. The IRS, in consultation with OPM, will establish best practices/governance requirements/accreditation for charities participating in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) . The IRS will ensure that the best practices/governance requirements for the CFC are unifunn nationwide in order to encourage charities to participate in the CFC. 5. Accreditation. There would be an authorization of $10 million to the IRS to support accreditation of charities nationwide, in States, as well as accreditation of charities of particular classes (e.g. private foundations, land conservation groups, etc.). The IRS can initiate its own accreditation efforts as well as solicit requests. Priority would be given to proposals with matching dollars. TI1e IRS would have the authority to contract with tax exempt organizations that would create and manage an accreditation program to establish best practices and give accreditation to members that meet best practices and review organizations on an ongoing basis for compliance. Such organizations could require dues by members to meet costs; and contract authority to review member information and take corrective action. The IRS would have the authority to base charitable status or authority of a charity to accept charitable donations on whether an organization is accrcdited.20 The proposal should encourage accreditation that is already taking 19 Compare with the Administration's proposed Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) which uses independent ratings (ex. Freedom House for Civil Liberties) for detemlining countries that will receive support. Treasury Under Secretary John Taylor Testimony before the Senate Comnlittee on Foreign Relations, March 4 , 2003 (www.treas.gov/press/release/js80.htm). 20 See Nonprofit Compensation and the Market, Frumkin and Andre-Clark, 21 Hawaii L. Rev. 425, 476 (Winter 1999)(general discussion about accreditation). Page 14 of 19 �place at the state level (e.g. Maryland, Ohio, Petmsylvania, Georgia and Louisiana) or in particular classes (nonprofit hospitals, zoos and universities already subject to accreditation). 21 6. Establish prudent investor rules A prudent investor rule would apply to the investment activities of charitable organizations. Many States apply a prudent investor standard to non-profit entities incorporated in the State; such State standards would inform the development of a Federal standard.22 H. Funding of Exempt Organizations and for State Enforcement and Education In 1969, Congress determined that nonoperating private fow1dations should pay a tax on net investment income and that the proceeds of such tax should be used to fund the Exempt Organizations function within the IRS. Although the tax has been collected since 1969, the funds raised from the tax were not appropriated to Exempt Organizations and, in 1998, the authorization for making such appropriation was repealed from the Internal Revenue Code. Under the proposal, the authorization for appropriation of up to $200 million of revenue from the tax on the net investment income of private foundations would be reinstated. Alternatively, a filing fee would be imposed on organizations that file the Fom1 990 (or 990-EZ, or 990-PF) and retained by Exempt Organizations. The amount of the fee would be detemuned based on an organization's gross receipts or assets. Proceeds from the fee (or appropriation) would be used for a number of purposes, including: · State Enforcement-- Funding of $25 nul lion to States for exempt organization oversight and enforcement pursuant to a formula of $100,000 for each State with matching federal dollars for each new dollar in State spending. · Funding of$25 million for nonprofit exempt organizations that educate other tax exempt organizations on best practices and inform the public of charities that are engaged in best practices; such funds would be provided to State organizations as well as national organizations to ensure an education presence in each state; a priority would be given to organizations that assist small charities in meeting proper standards and accreditation. · Five year review of the exempt status of charitable organizations (see above), foundation classifications of charitable organizations, and exempt status of all other tax exempt groups. · Funding of$10 million for accreditation (see above). 21 See Standards for Excellence Institute (www.standards forexcellenceinstitute.org)(discussion of accreditation efforts in states). 22 See Fremont-Smith at 454 (pressing need for adoption of the Modern Prudent Investor rule as the standard for compliance). Page 15 of 19 �· Funding of $5 million to facilitate public access and review of Form 990s and other infonnation for all tax exempt organizations. · Establish Exempt Organization Hotline for reporting abuses by charities and complaints by donors and beneficiaries. · Infom1ation sharing with State Attorneys General, the Federal Trade Commission, and the U.S . Postal Service for enforcement purposes, including referrals by the IRS and an mmual report to Congress by the General Accounting Office of the results of such referrals (as well as referrals from the FTC, USPS, and State AG's to the IRS). I. Tax Court Equity A uthorities, Private Relator and Valuation 1. Tax Court Equity Authorities The US Tax Court would be invested with 1) equity powers (including, but not limited to, power to rescind transactions, surcharge trustees and order accountings) to remedy any detriment to a philanthropic organization resulting from any violation of the substantive rules, and 2) equ ity powers (including, but not limited to, power to substitute trustees, divest assets, enjoin activities and appoint receivers) to ensure that the organization's assets are preserved for philanthropic purposes and that violations of the substantive rules will not occur in the future. In the event that appropriate State authorities institute action against a philanthropic organization or individuals based upon acts which constitute a violation of substantive rules of law applicable to such organization, the US Tax Court before whom the federal civil action is instituted or is pending would be required to defer action on any equitable relief for protection of the organization or preservation of its assets for its philanthropic purposes until conclusion of the State court action. At the conclusion of the State court action, the Tax Court could consider the State action adequate or provide further equitable relief, consistent with the State action, as the case warrants. However, no action by a State court would defer or abate the imposition of the initial Federal excise taxes for the violations.23 a. The IRS or a directotiboard member may seek the removal of any director/board member or officer by the Tax Court. The Tax Court may remove the director or officer if the court finds that 1) the director or officer engaged in fraudulent or dishonest conduct, or gross abuse of authority or discretion with respect to the corporation or 2) has failed to perform h is or her duties in good faith; with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances; and in a mmmer the director/officer reasonably believes to 23 SeeA Taxing Time for the Bishop Estate: What is the IRS Role in Charity Governance? Brody, 21 Hawaii L. Rev. 537,568 (Winter 1999) (discussion of 1977 Treasury Department proposed equity powers). Page 16 of 19 �be in the best interests of the goals and purpose of the corporation. The court must find that removal is in the best interest of meeting the goals and pwpose of the corporation. The court may bar the director or officer from serving on the board in any capacity, or any board for a period prescribed by the court. 2. Private Action - Directors. Any director/trustee (at the time of bringing the proceeding) may bring a proceeding. A complaint in a proceeding brought in the right of a corporation (or trust) must be verified and alleged with particularity the demand made, if any, to obtain action by the directors and state either why the complainants could not obtain the action or why they did not make the demand. If a demand for action was made and the corporation' s investigation of the demand is in progress when the proceeding is filed, the court may stay the suit until the investigation is completed. On the termination of the proceeding the court may require the complainants to pay any defendant's reasonable expenses (including counsel fees) incurred in defending the suit if it finds that the proceeding was commenced frivolously or in bad faith. If the proceeding on behalf of the corporation results in the corporation taking some action requested by the complainants or otherwise was successful, in whole or in part, or if anything was received by the complainants as the result of a judgment, compromise or settlement of an action or claim, the court may award the complainants reasonable expenses (including counsel fees)?4 3. Private Relator Action- Individual. Any individual may submit a complaint regarding a charity to the IRS for review. The individual will pay a $250 filing fee and $10,000 fine for frivolous filing. A complaint in a proceeding brought in the right of a corporation/trust must be verified by the IRS and allege with particularity the demand made, if any, to obtain action by the directors and state either why the complainants could not obtain the action or why they did not make the demand. If a demand for action was made and the corporations' investigation of the demand is in progress when the proceeding is filed, the court or IRS may stay the suit until the investigation is completed. At all times the IRS will retain control of the suit. In addition, the IRS must refer the suit to the relevant state official prior to taking action. The state official has up to thirty days to stay the suit. On the termination of the proceeding the court may require the complainants to pay any defendant's reasonable expenses (including counsel fees) incurred in defending the suit if it fmds 24 See generally Cal Corp Code Section 5142 (allowing, inter alia, officers and directors to bring an action against a charitable trust) as well as the Revised Model Nonprofit Corporation Act (1987) Section 6.30 Derivative Suits (allowing directors and members to bring derivative suits). Page 17 of 19 �that the proceeding was commenced frivolously or in bad faith. If the proceeding on behalf of the corporation results in the corporation taking some action requested by the complainants or otherwise was successful, in whole or in part, or if anything was received by the complainants as the result of a judgment, compromise or settlement of an action or claim, the court may award the complainants reas onable expenses (including counsel fees).25 4. Valuation Resolution. To assist in resolving Federal tax valuation disputes, a mandatory baseball arbitration procedure is proposed. The arbitration method known as "baseball arbitration" (sometimes referred to as final offer arbitration) involves each party in a proceeding submitting a number to the arbitrator, and providing that number to the other party, on the understanding that following a hearing, the arbitrator will select one ofthe parties' numbers to resolve the dispute. In a baseball player contract arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator is limited to selecting only one of the two figures submitted by the player and the owner. For purposes of determining the value of property contributed to a charity (other than cash or publicly traded securities) to detennine any Federal tax liability, the taxpayer and the IRS would be bound by baseball arbitration principles specifically adapted to the tax administration process. Under the proposal, the taxpayer becomes bound by the taxpayer's valuation used in the tax return, at the time the taxpayer is notified that the return has been selected by the IRS for examination. Prior to that time, the taxpayer may amend the return to modify the valuation taken in the return. The IRS is required to make a valuation determination at the examination stage, and becomes bound by its valuation position once it issues to the taxpayer the proposed notice of audit adjustment. During the examination stage of the proceeding, the IRS is free to negotiate with the taxpayer to reach a valuation agreement at any time up to the IRS issuing the notice of proposed audit adjustment. 25 See generally, Regulating the Management of Charities: Trust Law, Corporate Law, and Tax Law, Gary, 21 Hawaii L. Rev. 593, 624- 627,647 (Winter 1999), Unsettled Standing: Who (Else) Should Enforce the Duties of Charitable Fiduciaries?, Atkinson, 23 Iowa J. Corp . L. 655, 684- 85 and n. 146 (Smnmer, 1998) (general discussion about benefits - and concerns- of granting standing to members and relators) and Fremont-Smith at 449 ("The best solution is to have an active and interested attorney general who will take action to correct abuses. There is also precedent for allowing him to let individuals bring suit in his name if he believes there is merit to the action but is disinclined to do so himself."). Also see Fla. Stat. 617.2003 (allowing an individual to have the government initiate suit if the individual provides prima facie evidence to sustain charge m1d sufficient money to cover court costs and expenses). Page 18 of 19 �During the appeals stage of the proceeding, the IRS and the taxpayer are bound by the parties' respective valuation positions. The IRS Appeals Officer may accept only one of the two valuation positions (IRS' or the taxpayer's) to dispose of the valuation issue. If the taxpayer disagrees with the value selected by the IRS during appeals, the taxpayer must litigate the valuation issue. During litigation, the court is required to select the taxpayer's or the IRS' valuation position. The proposal penn its a court to award reasonable appraisal costs to the prevailing party in limited circumstances.

Coldlxrg (Washington, DC)- INDEPENDENT SECTOR today announced the creation of a national panel that will make recommendations to Congress to improve the oversight and governance of charitable organizations. IS formed the "Panel on the Nonprofit Sector" at the encouragement of Finance C01mnittee Chair Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Ranking Member Senator Max Baucus (0 -MT). In their letter to INDEPENDENT SECTOR, Senators Grassley and Baucus noted that "there is great value i.n your bringing together an independent group of leaders w ith broad experience ... We would welcome the recommendations that will be forthcoming from such a panel to assist our legislative efforts." The Finance Com1nittee asked that the panel provide a report of its initial fmdings and recommendations by February 2005 and a fmal report in the spring of 2005. Darell Hammond ) . Bryan Hehir J.D.

In June, the Finance Committee held hearings and released a discussion paper exploring a number of changes in the law governing the charitable sector. In July, the Committee convened a roundtab le of sector leaders to discuss further possible reforms. The Panel on the Nonprofit Sector is comprised of25 nonprofit and philanthropic leaders from a wide spectrum of public charities and private foundations from all parts of the country, reflecting diversity in mission, perspective, and scope of work. Paul Brest, president, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, of Menlo Park, California, and Cass Wheeler, chief executive officer, American Heart Association, of Dallas, Texas, will serve as co-conveners of the group. D iana Aviv, INDEPENDENT SECTOR president and �CEO, is executive director, and Patricia Read, IS's senior vice president for public policy and government affairs, is project director. "The charge set out by the Senate Finance Committee is substantial and there is a limited time period to complete this effort," Ms. Aviv said. "The Panel's findings and recommendations will require participation and input from many organizations within our sector to have a meaningful impact on legislation, regulations and practices that will defme the future of our work." The Panel will establish two advisory groups: one of prominent community leaders, including those from other sectors. The second advisory group will include a range of academic and legal experts. The Panel also will create five working groups to study and provide recommendations on issues involved in governance, transparency and financial accountability, oversight of sector organizations, the legal framework for regulating charities and foundations, and specific recommendations concerning small organizations. The Panel will pay special attention to examining the sector's existing mechanisms for self-regulation and oversight, and compile a report of such activity. Areas for exploration include, though are not limited to: • rules and regulations affecting composition and duties of boards of directors, • compensation issues, • guidelines on travel expenditures, • greater clarity on reporting Forms 990 and 990PF, as well as new disclosure requirements, • potential new fees for tax-exempt applications or annual filing requirements, and • lhe proper role~ of sdf regulation ami govemrnenl n:gulalion. "The excitement in coming together- from across disciplines and from organizations large and small-is palpable," said Mr. Wheeler, co-convener of the Panel. "I am delighted to serve on the Panel and look forward to the meaningful contributions it will make to the good works of the sector." "This is an important opportunity for our sector to take up the challenge of looking at how we conduct our business," said Mr. Brest, co-convener. "We hope that the broad experience and expertise of this diverse panel can be of real assistance to the Senate Committee." Private and community foundations, as well as public charities, are being invited to share in the cost of ensuring broad participation from the sector and in securing the necessary technical and legal experts to inform the Panel's work. The funds raised, while managed by IS, will be devoted exclusively to this endeavor. ### INDEPENDENT SECTOR is a nonprofit, nonpartisan coalition of approximately 600 national organizations, foundations, and corporate philanthropy programs, collectively representing tens of thousands of charitable groups in every state across the nation. Its mission is to advance the common good by leading, strengthening, and mobilizing the independent sector.

We are considering a number of comprehensive reforms to protect charities from bad actors and strengthen their accountability to donors. W c are mindful that this is a large and diverse sector and our intensions are to encourage good practice, sound governance and responsible work that leads to the improvement of the common good. We are aware and applaud the many efforts around the country by nonprofit sector organizations to consider how beSt to encourage good practice and conversely root out the bad actors. The discussions at the Senate Finance committee roundtable on iuly 22"d convened by our staff provided an oppommity for the airing of some such irritiatives and also gave us input regarding legislation that will be forthcoming thereafter. We are gratified by the strong degree of support for enacting legislation that will facilitate the collection of more useful information, in a format that allows for greater consistency and transparency through electronic filing. These are among a number of issues for which there appears to be immediate support that are important to put in place without delay. We recognize also that for some in the sector there is concern about the broader issues relating to governance and practice and to achieve similar support will take time and careful analysis to construct appropriate legislative remedies and enable good selfregulation. Toward that end we encourage you to convene an independent national panel on the non-profit sector to consider and recoiilllJ.end actions that will strengthen good governance, ethical conduct and eff~tive practice of public charities and private foundations. We encourage you to work with those committed to reform and not let a potential minority prevent substantive improvements by requiring unanimity on proposals. There is great value in your bringing together an independent group of leaders with broad experi~n(!~ whose wisdom might inform this J?roce~s~ While we cannot be bound by your panel' s work, we would welcome the recommendations that will be �forthcoming from such a panel to assist our legislative efforts to :improve oversight and governance of charitable organizations, as well as to stimulate or initiate efforts wirhin the charitable couun.unity to identify and enforce standards of best practices in the areas of though not limited to governance, transparency, financial accountability, conflicts of interest, fundnrising practices, and grant making practices. Given the urgency of the situation, we encourage you to move forward expeditiously to convene such a body, and share your recommendations as you develop them, particularly as they relate to legislative action. We would appreciate the panel providing a report of its initial findings and recommendations to the Finance Committee by February 2005 and a fmal report in the Spring of2005.

Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Russell G. Mawby, Chair, National Steering Committee Kathy Agard, Executive Director Re: Learning to Give Progress Report On behalf of the National Steering Committee for Learning to Give (LTG), we are pleased to present the following resolutions for your consideration and support. We believe the proposed action is the appropriate step in what we hope will become a national organization and philanthropy education movement. RESOLVED that the Learning to Give Initiative become a supporting organization of the Council of Michigan Foundations with appropriate transfer of grants and contractual obligation as reviewed by legal counsel and approved by current funders of the Initiative. RESOLVED further that the following individuals be appointed as founding Trustees for the terms as designated, with the bylaws designating that the president of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) shall serve as the common trustee to CMF: One vear Dorothy A. Johnson, trustee, W.K. Kellogg Foundation Robert S. Collier, president, Council of Michigan Foundations Two years C. David Campbell, president, McGregor Fund Julie F. Cummings, trustee, The Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation, Community foundation for Southeastern Michigan, Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties Mark Murrray, president, Grand Valley State University Three years James A. Kelly, founding president, National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Rick Little, president, Imaginenations Background We are delighted to share that Dottie Johnson and Jim Kelly have agreed to serve as CoChairs of this new Board. The fow1ding Board, provided that you approve of this action, w ill have its organizing meeting this afternoon, November 3'd to approve: bylaws, submission of a Form 1023 to the IRS and a 16 month budget for the period December 1, 2004 to March 31 , 2006. The proposed bylaws that will be reviewed by CMF Legal Counsel Duane Tarnacki, who created CMF's two other supporting organizations, will allow for a Board of up to 21 and an Executive Committee of 5. The Founding Board of Trustees will seek additional Trustees from the corporate, and nonprofit sector outside of Michigan as well as from diverse communities, who can advance the national mission of LTG. �Learning to Give October 25, 2004 Page 2 It has been a busy summer since we last met with you in June. Please note the editorial from the Kalamazoo Gazette that follows this report and resulted from the successful launch of Learning to Give at Grand Valley State University in June. Here are some highlights of what has led to the recommendation being presented today. During the spring and summer of 2004, LTG received consultation from lEG related to corporate sponsorship, the National Council for Nonprofit Enterprise related to sustainability, and Brigandi and Associates related to attracting corporate sponsorship. Each of the consultants recommended that LTG develop an identity separate from CMF. After discussion by small planning groups over the summer, the LTG Steering Committee approved this resolution for the CMF Board's consideration. Reasons for Separating LTG from CMF a. CMF is Michigan--focused, LTG desires to have national and eventually international scale b. CMF's Michigan base and membership base makes it difficult to attract national level and corporate based volunteer leadership c. CMF is a trade association of grantmakers--individual donors, and foundations may have some hesitation in funding CMF for LTG d. Corporate sponsors seek to link their brand with a nationally known philanthropic brand-LTG rather than CMF should be the brand partner. Reasons for Keeping LTG connected to CMF a. LTG has no administrative support structure at this time (bookkeeping, personnel, related insurance, auditing etc). Nor rloes f ,TG have the financial support to hire these serv1ces b. LTG has only a fledgling fund-raising history with individual donors, and only a fledgling start at fee for service income strategies. c. LTG has no formal legal or governance structure, this needs to be developed over time, the volunteer leadership is advisory d. LTG is uniquely positioned within the philanthropic-grantmaking world, giving it an unusual strategic setting. Before abandoning this unique position, more strategic thinking is required. The two potential new homes for LTG: in education, or as a separate nonprofit, are fields crowded with highly mature organizations. LTG will need to be prepared to compete for resources within either of these domains prior to becoming independent. e. CMF can help LTG mitigate some of its weaknesses in attracting corporate sponsorship by sharing benefits: exposure in CMF publications, educational seminars, and on the CMF web-site. f. LTG has explored other alternative homes during the past five years, and has developed a set of criteria for evaluating potential larger organizational venues. In each case explored, the host institution would only be interested if LTG brought self-sufficient resources with the program--offering no unique financial advantage. Unique Features ofa Supporting Organization Structure a. LTG can develop a national level governance structure with its own 501 c3 supporting organization status b. LTG will have its own financial books, and separate audit. Financial and other systems w ill become more easily dis-engaged from CMF's systems in the future, if desired. c. Donors and revenue: individuals, and foundation gifts; corporate sponsorship, and sales; and other agreements will be with LTG as a legal entity, rather than to CMF for LTG �Learning to Give October 25, 2004 Page 3 d. Major gifts from single private foundation sources could be received by LTG without the problem of"tipping" into private foundation status e. CMF has experience in developing, managing, and spinning-off philanthropic functions using this model f. This option provides a mid-step between LTG 's current status as a project of CMF, and full organizational independence g. If LTG is not financially viable, CMF's Board would still have final authority over, and responsibility for, disposition of the assets . �Learning to Give October 25, 2004 Page 4 Learning to Give Progress Report-Fan 2004 Highlights Planning: The past five months have focused on gathering strategic information and discussing future directions for Learning to Give. In June, two reports were received from national consulting firms: lEG, a firm specializing in corporate sponsorship, and the National Council for Nonprofit Enterprise (NCNE), a firm specializing in issues of non-profit sustainability through earned income. During July, August and September, these reports were discussed in small groups with the Steering Committee, LTG staff/consultants, and Teachers. In addition, the reports were reviewed by a corporate marketing director who arranged for a Chicago marketing firmBrigandi and Associates to help LTG develop a marketing plan, on a pro-bono basis. A full-time temporary employee, Derrick Feldmann, has been hired to assist in the web-site development project and also in the research needed to support the proposals for corporate sponsorship. Derrick is a recent graduate of the Center on Philanthropy and has been the graduate student for Learning to Give-Indiana. Special Projects: Learning to Give's ability to develop philanthropy education materials, lessons, and support has been discovered and a number of partnership opportunities have emergect The projects include: lesson plans for the Shalom Street museum in Detroit, teacher guides for the "Profiles" of Battle Creek philanthropists, lesson plans supporting IMAX theater movies, movie ads (extending LTG's reach by 1 million impressions per year), and 2"d grade and 9111 grade lesson plans in partnership with Junior Achievement for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation th . 75 anm versary. In addition, the Glenn Institute at Westminster Schools in Atlanta, has contacted LTG to work in conjunction with I.U. on a "high end" junior year in high school comprehensive cun·iculum on philanthropy (video, lessons, resource materials) that can be packaged and sold. Westminster is interested in working with LTG in developing this package for private independent schools. Web-site Enhancements: The LTG web-site has been undergoing major background revision, foreground editing, and preparation for the addition of "rooms" extending the resources to new audiences. The lesson plans have been moved from word documents to database documents, allowing us to add multiple state standards to the same lesson plan. A ll of the lessons have been re-coded to the standards for the State of Indiana, a separate LTGIndiana home page resides within the LTG web-site, and new lessons have been placed that have both Indiana and Michigan standards. A web-site design revision is undetway. New features under construction are: • Online self-paced tutorial for educators (ten-30 minute sessions) • Youth worker room-1 6 LTG units have been rewritten into activities suitable for youth workers �Learning to Give October 25, 2004 Page 5 • • • • Religious instructor room-briefing papers and audio on various religious traditions and philanthropy are being developed Parent/caregiver room-the family foundation book has been redrafted for non-foundation families Community room-due later in 2005 Student rooms-due in 2006 In addition, the Fetzer Institute is underwriting the cost of moving their "Generosity of the Spirit" philanthropy materials to the LTG Web-site: 200 myths, legends and stories of generosity from around the world; a discussion guide for groups to pursue deeper understanding of philanthropy; and text of donor interviews. LTG will write lessons to support the stories during summer 2005. Public Relations: Initial efforts to increase public visibility for LTG are successful. The stories include the launching of the LTG-Michigan partnership with GVSU with a luncheon sponsored by the President of GVSU and his wife at the start of the LTG summer institute; articles and editorials across Michigan as a result of the Booth newspaper reporting on LTG; use of LTG as "responders" to other stories on service-learning; and national coverage in Education Week, the Council on Foundations e-newsletter, and a journal article in Principal Leadership, a publication of the National Association of Secondary School Principals. LTG has retained Mike Gallagher as a consultant on writing/placing articles in the national education, service-learning, youth development, and philanthropy fields. Mike also works as an editorial consultant to CMF. University Partnerships: LTG-Indiana: the Indiana partners have hired a new full-time staff person, Kathy Matthies. Kathy brings experience as a classroom teacher, in working within the university, and in project management. Five new partner schools and a pre-school YMCA program (the first LTG schools in Indiana) have been recruited and teachers are currently being oriented to LTG. A small, but successful, summer institute was held in June, led by Indiana teachers, and work is underway to begin integrating philanthropy education into the professional development "life cycle" of teachers. LTG' s African-American posters were distributed to over 300 attendees at the Indiana Center"s African-American Philanthropy's Symposium in August. LTG-Michigan: the GVSU College of Education partners have recruited and are providing inservice professional development to nine new LTG schools in western Michigan. The second workshop for approximately 200 student teachers was held in September. Research on the integration of philanthropy education into the undergraduate Foundations of Education course is underway. Summer institute for teachers are planned for: June 21-24, 2005 in Indiana June 27-30, 2005 in Michigan Interest in LTG Individuals and groups continue to express interest in Learning to Give. • Seattle: a home school consortium will make a decision shortly on bringing LTG to their "school". �Learning to Give October 25, 2004 Page 6 • • • • • • • Cincinnati: a fami ly foundation is considering LTG in their region. Kansas City: a teacher trained during the Kansas summer institute several years ago is implementing school-wide service-learning and is working with their administration to become a LTG school. Colorado: the community service commission President of the board is interested in bringing LTG to the state New York: a family foundation member attended the summer institute and is interested in bringing LTG to New York City West Virginia: a local youth grantmaking organization focused on young women has asked LTG to revise the women's briefing papers to include these on their web-site. Permission was given as long as the briefing papers are not sold, and LTG is acknowledged as the creators of the papers. Seoul, South Korea: three staff from the Beautiful Foundation attended the summer institute in Michigan. They have already download and use LTG lesson plans in a program to support the development of philanthropy in South Korea (a copy of their local news report is included in the packet).

Advancing giving. Date: October 26, 2004 Memo to: S. Martin Taylor, Chair and Members ofthe Board ofTmstees From: Betsy Upton Stover and Ira Stmmwasser, Co-Chairs Rob Collier, President Re: Membership Committee Report The Membership Committee met on October 6 and presents the following resolution for action. RESOLVED that the following six grantmakers be approved for membership: AAA Michigan, Dearborn Susan Carbin Krichbaum, Manager, Community Relations Allen Foundation Inc., Midland Gail E. Lanphear, Chaim1an of the Board Stanley & Blanche Ash Foundation, Greenville Jennifer Ash, Tmstee Edalene & Ed Brown Family Foundation, Ltd., Troy David M. Thoms, President Plante & Moran, PLLP, Battle Creek (rejoin) Vicki VanDenBerg, Partner UBS- Michigan, Flint William H. Moeller, Senior Vice President In addition, the following two members are dropped from membership at their request. The Iacocca Foundation, belongs to Associated Grantmakers of Massachusetts making many of our services duplicative. "You all do a great job." Rosenzweig Coopersmith Foundation, family all live out of state - rarely able to participate. �I. Membership Status and Retention Activitv Summarv {or period April 1 through October 26. 2004 Memberships at 4/l /04 New members Dropped Membership at 10/26/04 Renewals# Renewal% Renewals & New Additional # Additional $ 393 7 (includes Allen, Smith Bamey, AAA MI, Brown, Ash, UBS and Plante &Moran/rejoin) 2 (Iacocca & Rosenzweig Coopersmith) 398 301 77% $686,950 16 $ 11,710 Ninety (90) grantmakers have yet to renew. Twenty (20) did not pay their 2003 dues, and senior management is working to determine those we should drop from membership. A second reminder letter was sent to 8 1 grantmakers in mid-September, resulting in 21 additional renewals to date. CMF membership stands at 398. The following chart summarizes the current membership composition: Private: 226 Family Foundations Independent Foundations 166 60 Foundations Affiliates Donor-Advised Funds Supporting Organization 55 32 3 1 Foundations Giving Programs 28 30 Community: 91 Corporate: 58 Public: Foundations Donor-Advised Funds Out-of-State Associate: Private Foundations Totals: 19 17 2 4 4 398 398 �II. Feedback and Experience One small family foundation member, whose dues went from $150 to $300, is concerned because dues now constitute 12% of their $2,500 annual grantmaking. Another calculation shows their dues as a percentage of assets of $50,000 at .06. However, iftheir assets were $10 million the assessment would be .03%. They have yet to renew, and may set up a donor-advised fund in their local community foundation. Another member wrote of a tight expense budget and the need to make tough decisions with limited resources. Only thirteen (13) members have underpaid their dues, ranging from $100 to $1,900. We invited members to take two years to reach the new dues level, so do not find these numbers of concern, and are dealing with each on an individual basis. III. New Category- Non Member In order to help increase and promote philanthropy in Michigan, staff has recommended a new category for participation in CMF - Corporate Giving Program-Individual Consultant Service (Definition & Criteria attached). Upon review the Committee has endorsed the concept, however making it clear that this is not a membership category. Individuals are defined as lawyers, accountants and financial planners to the wealthy, who do not have an individual or corporate foundation. The goal is to bring the "gatekeepers to philanthropy" closer to CMF, to educate them and in turn help them better serve their clients who may be creating foundations or donor advised funds at community foundations. Any individual consultant responding to this opportunity will not be offered membership status, and therefore, will not have voting privileges. The annual fee of $500 would cover the basic cost per organization- calculated at $495 by David Lindberg. �COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS Criteria for Associate Partners: Individual in Consulta nt Service Definition: A n indh•idual in a consulta nt service has a profit-making organization or is employed at a profitma king compa ny, such as law firm , financial ser vices or accounting agency and is involved in charitable giving.

Advancing giving. Date: September 20, 2004 Memo to: CMF Executive Committee From: David R. Lindberg, Vice President, Finance & Administration RE: Changes to P ersonnel Policies RESOLVED that Document Destruction, Code of Conduct and Whistle-Blower policies be added to the Personnel Policies of CMF. Background The Sarbanes-Oxley Act which was signed into law on July 30, 2002, was designed to add new governance standards for the corporate sector to rebuild public trust in publicly held companies. CMF established a separate audit committee several years ago and revised the duties of this committee in the fall of2003 to comply with audit committee portion of this act. Because CMF's Personnel policies are used as a model for the nonprofit sector, it is vital that the two standards in the act (document destruction and whistle-blower protection) be added. Document Destruction Policy CMF acknowledges its responsibility to preserve information relating to litigation, audits and investigations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of July 30, 2002, makes it a crime to alter, cover up falsify, or destroy any document to prevent its use in an official proceeding. Failure on the part of employees to follow this policy can result in possible civil and criminal sanctions against CMF and its employees and possible disciplinary action against responsible individuals (up to and including termination of employment). Each employee has an obligation to contact the Vice President of Finance & Administration of a potential or actual litigation, external audit, investigation or similar proceeding involving CMF that may have an impact as well on the approved records retention schedule. Whistle-Blower/Code of Conduct Policy In keeping with the policy of maintaining the highest standards of conduct and ethics CMF will investigate any suspected fraudulent or dishonest use or misuse ofCMF' s resources or property by staff, board members, consultants or volunteers. CMF is committed to maintaining the highest standards of conduct and ethical behavior and promotes a working environment that values respect, faimess and integrity. All staff, board members and volunteers shall act with honesty, integrity and openness in all their dealings as representatives for the organization. Failure to follow these standards will result in �disciplinary action including possible termination of employment, dismissal from one's board or volunteer duties and possible civil or criminal prosecution if warranted. Staff, board members, consultants and volunteers are encouraged to report suspected fraudulent or dishonest conduct (i.e. to act as "whistle-blower"), pursuant to the procedures set forth below. Reporting A person's concerns about possible fraudulent or dishonest use or misuse of resources or property should be reported to his or her supervisor or, if suspected by a volunteer, to the staff member supporting the volunteer's work If for any reason a person finds it difficult to report his or her concerns to a supervisor or staff member supporting the volunteer's work, the person may report the concerns directly to the Chair of the CMF Board of Trustees or Audit & Finance Committee, Vice President of F inance & Administration, Chief Operating Officer or the President. Alternately, to facilitate reporting of suspected v iolations where the reporter wishes to remain anonymous, a written statement may be submitted to one of the individuals listed above. Definitions Baseless Allegations: Allegations made with reckless disregard for their truth or falsity. People making such allegations may be subj ect to disciplinary action by CMF, and/or legal claims by individuals accused of such conduct. Fraudulent or Dishonest Conduct: A deliberate act or failure to act with the intention of obtaining an unauthorized benefit. Examples of such conduct include, but are not limited to: forgery or alteration of documents; unauthorized alteration or manipulation of computer files; fraudulent financial reporting; pursuit of a benefit or advantage in violation ofCMF's Conflict ofInterest Policy; misappropriation or misuse of CMF resources, such as funds, supplies, or other assets; authorizing or receiving compensation for goods not received or services not performed; and authorizing or receiving compensation for hours not worked Whistle-Blower: An employee, consultant or volunteer who infonns a supervisor, the Vice President of Finance & Administration, Chief Operating Officer, President or Chair of the Board of Tmstees or Audit & Finance Committee about an activity relating to CMF which that person believes to be fraudu lent or dishonest. 2 �Rights and Responsibilities Supervisors Supervisors are required to report suspected fraudulent or dishonest conduct to the Vice President of Finance & Administration, Chief Operating Officer or the President. Reasonable care should be taken in dealing with suspected misconduct to avoid: baseless allegations; premature notice to persons suspected of misconduct and/or disclosure of suspected misconduct to others not involved with the investigation; and violations of a person's rights under law Due to the important yet sensitive nature of the suspected violations, effective professional follow-up is critical. Supervisors, while appropriately concerned about "getting to the bottom" of such issues, should not in any circumstances perfonn any investigative or other follow up steps on their own. Accordingly, a supervisor who becomes aware of suspected misconduct: should not contact the person suspected to further investigate the matter or demand restitution. should not discuss the case with attorneys, the media or anyone other than the Vice President of Finance & Administration, Chief Operating Officer, President or Chair ofthe Board of Trustees or Audit & Finance Committee • should not report the case to an authorized law enforcement officer without first discussing the case with the Vice President of Finance & Administration, Chief Operating Officer, President or Chair of the Board of Trustees or Audit & Finance Committee. Investigation All relevant matters, including suspected but unproved matters, will be reviewed and analyzed, with documentation of the receipt, retention, investigation and treatment of the complaint. Appropriate corrective action will be taken, if necessary, and findings will be communicated back to the reporting person and his or her supervisor. Investigations may warrant investigation by an independent person such as auditors and/or attorneys. Whistle-Blower Protection CMF will protect whistle-blowers as defined below. CMF will use its best efforts to protect whistle-blowers against retaliation. Whistle-blowing complaints will be handled with sensitivity, discretion and confidentiality to the extent allowed by the circumstances and the law. Generally this means that whistle-blower complaints will only be shared with those who have a need to know so that CMF can conduct an effective investigation, determine w hat action to take based on the results of any such investigation, and 3 �in appropriate cases, with law enforcement personnel. (Should disciplinary or legal action be taken against a person or persons as a result of a whistle-blower complaint, such persons may also have right to know the identity of the whistleblower.) Employees, consultants and volunteers of CMF may not retaliate against a whistle-blower for infomling management about an activity which that person believes to be fraudulent or dishonest with the intent or effect of adversely affecting the tenns or conditions of the whistle-blower's employment, including but not linlited to, threats of physical harm, loss of job, punitive work assignments, or impact on salary or fees. Whistle-blowers who believe that they have been retaliated against may file a written complaint with the Vice President of Finance & Administration, Chief Operating Officer, President or Chair of the Board of Trustees or Audit & Finance Committee. Any complaint of retaliation will be promptly investigated and appropriate corrective measures taken if allegations of retaliation are substantiated. This protection from retaliation is not intended to prohibit supervisors from taking action, including disciplinary action, in the usual scope of their duties and based on valid performance-related factors. Whistle-blowers must be cautious to avoid baseless allegations (as described earlier in the definitions section of this policy).

Advancing giving. Date: September 24, 2004 Memo to: CMF Executive Committee From: Rob Collier, President David R. Lindberg, Vice President, Finance & Administration Vicki Rosenberg, Vice P resident & COO RE: Policy on Unemployment Compensation Accrual RESOLVED that CMF establish a policy of annually accruing for unemployment taxes at an appropriate rate established by management, to cover possible unemployment claims by terminated employees, with the Audit and Finance Committee providing final review and approval for this policy. Background: As a non-profit CMF has exercised the option of paying for unemployment claims on a pay as you go basis, meaning a bill is sent to CMF quarterly for any unemployment claims paid out during this period oftime. From a budgeting stand point funding claims in this manne r has not been an issue since they have generally averaged less than one per year. However, because several major projects will wind down in the next few years, it makes sense to start accruing for this potential liability while those projects still have funds to cover these potential costs. The potential accmal calculation based on 2003 payroll figures is: CMF Core Services CMF Special Projects Michigan AIDS Fund Total Annual Amount $4,500 3,500 1,200 $9,200 During our analysis of switching from a pay as claims arise policy three options have been examined. Option 1: 501 Alliance The 501 Alliance is a non-profit organization that collects unemployment taxes from nonprofits and makes payments directly to the State of Michigan when claims are paid on behalf of the non-profit. Rate starts out at 2.25% • This money is kept in a reserve to pay claims through the 50 1 Alliance. • The rate can rise if CMF's reserve becomes negative. • The entire 2.25% is placed in the reserve. The 501 Alliance charges no administrative fee. They make their money off the investment of these funds. �Option 2: State of Michigan • Rate starts out at 2.7% • After 5 years the rate may change based on actual claims. • After 5 years the State keeps 1% of the 2.7% (or higher) rate that we pay. In this case only 1.7% would be credited to our reserve. Option 3: Set up an annual accrual on CMF's books • Reserve, by booking an annual accrual, the amount CMF would pay either the 501 Alliance or the State of Michigan on our books to cover claims. • Unused money stays with CMF. • CMF's earns the interest on these funds. • The annual accrual could be reduced if the reserve becomes too large. We talked with representatives of two accounting fmns about whether they would allow this accrual to stay on the books or propose an audit adjust, since they may not consider this an actual liability until a claim is filed. Rehmann Robson - CMF's Current Auditor They stated that many of their non-profit clients set up an accrual on their books in this mmmer, and therefore they would not propose that the accrual be taken off the books. Yeo & Yeo - CMF's Audit Committee Chair's Fim1 They would propose the accrual be removed from the books each year, but since the amount most likely would be immaterial to the overall financial statement presentation, they would pass on this adjustment.

He congratulated the staff and noted CMF received an unqualified opinion from Rehmann Robson. Dave Lindberg, Vice President for Finance and Administration, reviewed the details of the Audit Report noting the fluctuation on the Combined Statement of Activity report was due to special projects such as the Tobacco Settlement Partnership and Michigan IDA Partnership (Individual Development Accounts).

Acheson Foundation, Port Huron Donna M Niester, Vice President Kaufman Foundation, Muskegon (rejoin) Sylvia C. Kmifman, Trustee Nartel Family Foundation, Grand Blanc (rejoin) Evelyn Nartelski, President Smith Barney Citigroup, Southfield J Lawrence Lipton, Vice President/Financial Planning Specialist Government Relations Dave Campbell presented the Government Relations report on behalf of Co-Chair Libby Maynard. Trustee Campbell introduced the Revised Payout Study recently completed by Cambridge Associates. Dave Lindberg reviewed the update which reaffinns the original study's conclusions that past levels of returns do not support a payout rate above 5%. CMF is not publicizing this update but holding it for possible use in Senate Finance Hearings expected this summer. Rob Collier discussed the recent announcement from the Senate Finance Committee on Finance that the first hearing on charitable giving will be held June 22. The hearings will consider governance and best practices of charities; charities accommodating tax shelters; donor gifts of tangible and intangible property; and current problems and issues in the charitable community. Trustee Richardson noted Dean Zerbe, Chief Investigative Counsel of the Finance Conm1ittee, is writing a white paper which is where the payout study may come into play. The paper may include proposals such as "no disqualified person should receive any compensation whatsoever", travel could be restricted to the Government reimbursement rate, and trustee compensation could be limited to what the Federal Commission pays its members. Trustee Richardson is a member of the Foundation Executive Group that is trying to develop a template for foundation standards and promote the national standards on the Council on Foundations website in an effort to let the Senate Finance Committee know that foundations have reforms in place. Rob Collier highlighted the tentative arrangements for the three panels. The first panel will focus on enforcement with invitees including the IRS Commissioner. For the second panel known as "Trouble in River City", Senator Grassley has invited three presenters to showcase abuses in the nonprofit sector, most likely one will deal with the donation of used cars for charitable purposes. The third panel will focus on foundation and nonprofit governance. Invitees include Diana Aviv of Independent Sector, and Rick Cohen of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy. Collier recapped CMF's proactive steps including adopting the Guiding Principles, the Education Compliance Policy as well as CMF's involvement in the Attorney General's Nonprofit Advisory Council. He noted New York's Deputy Attorney General recently commented this may be a national model. �Board ofTntstees Meeting Minutes - June I0, 2004 Page 4 Dave Campbell reported both the House and Senate Versions ofthe CARE Act appear to be dead for this session. He presented Michigan Nonprofit Association's (MNA) proposed response to the state budget crisis that more than 80 state nonprofit associations have signed on to. After discussion, it was suggested that CMF not support the proposed statement drafted by MNA but ask the Government Relations Committee to prepare a statement specific to CMF. Dave Campbell presented a revision to CMF's best practices for private foundations. In the past, CMF has recommended that small private foundations under $10 million in assets have an independent audit perfonned at least every three years, with a review in the off years. Based on the five percent payout requirement of private foundations, this Best Practice recommendation should be lowered to $5 million. It seems fair that private foundations model what is required of public charities, and that we not wait for it to be legislated -which will likely happen at some point in the future. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Board adopt the following Best Practice recommendation: That a private foundation with five million in assets should conduct an annual independent audit. Public Policy Coll ier a nd COO Vicki Rosenberg acknowledged CMF's first Philanthropy Fe llow, Rrian Flahaven, who will be leaving CMF the end of the month. The Board congratulated Brian on expanding CMF's public policy work as well as the website which has created a standard in the Public Policy field. Brian's successor, Julie Lynne Ford, was introduced the prior evening at the Board/Staff dinner and will join the CMF team the end of June. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees ofthe Council of Michigan Foundations extends our appreciation to Brian Flahaven for your many contributions to CMF, our Public Policy Committee and the promotion of a strong nonprofit sector in Michigan through service as the first Public Policy Fellow for CMF, and we wish you continued success in your career endeavors of service and leadership. Ms. Rosenberg briefed Board Members on the April 22 Early Matters Forum, a partnership of the Public Policy Committee, Office of the Foundation Liaison, and the Family Foundations Ready by Five Study Group. The goals were to: (a) build awareness/knowledge among public and private sector stakeholders; (b) bring new voices/visions to the discussion and (c) encourage community-based action, new publicprivate partnerships, and systems change. Over 60 foundation representatives, 25 state department staff(FIA, DCA, DOE, etc.), 15 service providers, and staff from the Republican and Democratic policy offices participated in the Forum. �Board ofTntstees Meeting Minutes - June I0, 2004 Page 5 Vicki announced the launching of the legislative E-Bulletin to inform state policy makers about public policy issues from a foundation sector's perspective, and increase their awareness about the work of Michigan grantmakers. Principles and Practices Task Force Task Force Chair Dave Egner reported on Phase II of the Principles and Practices Task Force. The Phase II charge was to develop a policy to answer "what does a regional association of grantmakers do if they hear of allegations of institutional misconduct deftned as actions that may be illegal, involve self-dealing or excess compensation and/or be viewed as unethical if not illegal." Advisory Cabinet Chair Russ Mawby, noting his experience through the Council on Foundations, cautioned the Board to step back when the government gets involved. The Board concluded that, if there is already an investigation by a government entity in progress, CMF will not get involved. If CMF is investigating and the government gets involved, CMF will cease their investigation. In presenting this policy, the Task Force recognized that CMF has no legal authority or jurisdiction to take such actions, but is acting in the best interests of the field of organized philanthropy in Michigan. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the following policy be adopted to deal with allegations of inappropriate institutional conduct by a Michigan foundation, regardless of whether the foundation is a member of the Council of Michigan F oundations. Policy "A confidential inquiry may be initiated by the president in response to allegations of inappropriate institutional conduct (such as conflict of interest, self-dealing, excess compensation) that may come to CMF' s attention through media coverage, personal communications to members of CMF's board or staff, and referral from the attorney general's staff. If there is already an investigation by a government entity in progress, CMF will not get involved. If CMF is investigating and the government gets involved, CMF will cease its investigation If the results of this inquiry warrant further action, the president will select a panel of up to five experienced grantmakers from a list already approved by the Board of Trustees, to examine the allegation of inappropriate conduct. The panel will then consider courses of action that CMF might take and recommend appropriate action to the president and board. The panel may recommend: (1) no action or contact with the foundation- member or nonmember or (2) contact with the CEO and or Chair of the foundation in person and/or in writing to review the allegation, investigate the facts, and obtain commitment to or evidence of corrective action. Depending on the level of response, this contact may be expanded to the whole board of the foundation. The response(s) will be shared by the president of CMF with the panel members. �Board ofTntstees Meeting Minutes - June I0, 2004 Page 6 The panel would report to the board on such referrals and recommend a probationary period or revoking membership if it is deemed appropriate. Any decision by the board shall be communicated in writing to the foundation. The foundation will be offered an opportunity to submit a written response and to make a direct presentation to the board. In approving any actions, the board shall decide whether any of its actions or communications will be made public. Any public statement would be made only after careful consideration of the facts and review with legal counsel. If corrective action is not forthcoming in ninety days, the president will under appropriate circumstances refer the foundation to the Charitable Trust Office of the Attorney General. The foundation in question will be given a copy of the correspondence outlining the allegations and efforts to secure a satisfactory response." Trustee Egner introduced a policy to address intermediate sanctions, recommended by the Task Force due to the cases of excess compensation by Michigan foundations being brought to CMF' s attention. CMF staff can use this policy as an educational tool to help both members and nonmembers in responding to the question, what is reasonable compensation for trustees and/or staff? After discussion the Board approved the following policy amending step one by deleting the word "disinterested." Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED further that the three steps outlined in the intermediate sanctions rules that apply to public charities be adopted and recommended for use to private foundations when considering issues related to compensation. In the context of intermediate sanctions, when a charity (or its governing board) approves a level of compensation, the law will presume that it is reasonable so long as certain steps are taken. Under the regulations implementing the intermediate sanction rules, three conditions must be satisfied to take advantage of the rebuttable presumption: 1. Approval by a governing board. The compensation arrangement must be approved in advance (before any payment) by the governing body of the organization, which is composed entirely of individuals who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement. 2. Reliance on comparable data. Prior to making its determination, the governing body must obtain and rely upon data regarding comparability of compensation. 3. Concurrent documentation. The governing body must adequately document by an entry in the minutes of the appropriate meeting the basis for its determination concurrently with making that determination (within 60 days of the decision or the date of the next meeting of the governing body, whichever is later). �Board ofTntstees Meeting Minutes - June I0, 2004 Page 7 Communications Plan Using a PowerPoint presentation, (copy attached to these minutes) Vicki Rosenberg, Mike Gallagher and Kathy Ginocchio reviewed the Communications Plan. Highlights include: • Target audience - every staff member now receives the E-news instead of just the main contact of the organization. • Data gathering - Mike Gallagher has talked to over 400 grantmakers (both members and nonmembers) over the past year, • Timeliness - directing members to the website for the most current information • New graphic & identity branding - all CMF publications have similar templates • Newswire service - need to make members aware that the information is timely • Web trends - the Newsroom articles have increased the Newsroom usage by 400% 32"d Annual Conference Update Co-chairs Russ Gabier and Sandy Ulsh updated Trustees on developments for the November 3-5 Conference in Dearborn. The Program Committee met May 27 at the Dearborn Hyatt.

The progress in Michigan has been substantial, and the partnerships with the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University and the Dorothy A. Johnson Center at Grand Valley State University are well underway. Kathy Agard reviewed some of the new lesson plans available. Community Foundation Update Community Foundations Committee Chair Diana Sieger, briefed the Board on the recent Tri-state meeting involving herself, Libby Cherin, Cheryl Elliott, Rob Collier and Donnell Mersereau as well as Indiana and Ohio Foundation CEO's to collaborate together in marketing. Chair Sieger introduced Danielle Williams, CMF' s Mawby intern, who highlighted the MCFYP Longitudinal Study, a 10-year study that gives a fu ll understanding of the value of engaging youth in philanthropy. �Board ofTntstees Meeting Minutes - June I0, 2004 Page 8 Donnell Mersereau, Director, Community Foundations, presented an overview and displayed the ads for the Communities of Color initiative. In addition, Ms. Mersereau announced that CMF, in partnership with Blue Print Research & Design, Public Policy Associates and the Williams Group, has received one ofthree national research grants from the Aspen Institute's Nonprofit Research Fund to look at the economic benefits of small community foundations forming regional partnerships. The $85,000 grant has been complimented by a $50,000 grant from the C.S. Mort Foundation. Michigan IDA Partnership Update Eric Muschler, Director, updated the Board on the latest activities of the Partnership. Five Regional Coordinating Organizations are supervising 50 plus program sites with over 1200 active IDA accounts. Total asset purchases now exceed 200 with more than $10 million in new mortgages generated. Mr. Muschler also reviewed the Year 3 Evaluation Report which is available on the cmif.org website. The evaluation surveyed 50 families that completed the program and 50 families that did not complete the program. Results show the overall credit scores improved for both. He also reported that one of the Regional Coordinating Organizations has received a national pilot grant from the federal government for the SEED Initiative, a national policy initiative of matched Education accounts for 3 & 4 year olds.

Liaison which increased access to state officials, provided important new partner, and introduced new pressure to align Committee's work with Liaisons (from Governor). Committee History: Roles & Responsibilities ln November 2001, the Committee drafted a set of Roles & Responsibilities. During the next two meetings, the Committee made revisions to the document and agreed to the final document in May 2002. l n sum, the Committee defined its role as educator and relationship builder. Roles & Responsibilities (5/02) On behalf of CMF's diverse grantrnaking membership, the Public Policy Committee seeks to: I. Inform CMF members about the potential of their individual and collective role in the public policy process and engage them in that process. 2. Facilitate dialogues between CMF members and policy makers. 3. Monitor and inform CMF members about state and local policies that may affect their foundations or the nonprofit sector. 4. Make recommendations to CMF's Board of Trustees regarding opportunities for CMF partnerships with state agencies for which CMF would serve as an intermediary. Recommendations will be made by the Committee co-chairs based on input obtained from the full Committee and from CMF members obtained via an on-l ine survey. �5. Advise CMF about positions it might take on particular public policy issues. CMF w ill refer those issues the Committee believes may have a direct impact on philanthropy to its Government Relations Committee. The Committee will make recommendations to the CMF Board of Trustees on issues that it believes will not have a direct impact on philanthropy. Examples of Possible Committee Actions In carrying out its roles and responsibilities, the Committee may advise CMF to act in a variety of ways and assist CMF in doing so. Some examples include: • Sponsoring educational opportunities for members and nonmember grantmakers to improve understanding about affecting the public policy process. • Highlighting grantmaking, educational and other efforts of members and nonmember grant makers that affect public policy areas via articles in CMF newsletters and on www.cmif.org • Convening infonnational sessions for members and nonmember grantmakers on the role private funding can play on public issues. Such sessions would present a balanced view of the pros and cons of funding on such matters. • Initiate discussions and meetings w ith representatives of the Executive branch as warranted on issues such as devolution, and foster care. • Produce a guide for policymakers and the media on grant makers and their levels of expertise in various areas such as the arts, community development and housing, education, health, youth and families, jobs and economic development, natural resources and recreation, and strengthening the nonprofit sector. Questions: Should the Committee revise its May 2002 Roles & Responsibilities based on: (1) experiences to date, including leadership on Early Matters; and (2) relationship with the Foundation Liaison. If so, what should those changes be? Is the Committee successfully carrying out its charge? In which areas is it succeed ing and in which is it not? In those where it is not, what might it do differently? Committee History: Focus Issues At its January 2002 meeting, the Committee agreed to focus its work on five issues it believed were of interest to the majority of CMF members. At its May 2002 meeting, the Committee clarified and refined that list. Issue selection and categorization was based on the fo llowing criteria: Important to members and their grantees Build on significant knowledge/expertise within CMF members and/or affinity groups Require on-going education by grantmakers Link to impending legislation affecting grantees, i.e., TANF Present opportunities to inform grantmakers and offer options for involvement Emerging or current trends - ex. State fisca l policy Cross-cutting issues - bridge & leverage In May 2002, the Committee refined its list and categories as follows: Short Term T ANF/economic self sufficiency (replaced jobs) Short Tenn Safety Net K-12 Short Term Short Term Early Childhood Long Tenn Access to Health Care (expanded to include financing) Land Use Long Tenn �It defined short term as immediate need to legislative action with 12 months and long term as issues affinity groups are looking at plus some short-term issues. It agreed to develop criteria and processes for identifying/confirming/ informing members about related "emerging" issues in a neutral way. Questions: What is a reasonable number of issues for any period? How long should the Committee's commitment be to any one issue? How successful has the Committee been in addressing each of the six issues? Should the Committee adopt a more intensive strategy, such as that for Early Matters, for other issues? If so, for which issue and w ith ways? Committee History: Education & Awareness Activities At its January 2002 meeting, the Committee agreed to focus its work on foundation staff and tmstees and to develop and implement the following strategies. As noted earlier, creation of the Fellowship and the Office of the Foundation Liaison and changes at CMF (expanded and enhanced communications services), made it possible for the Committee to significantly expand and, in some cases, institutionalize some of these strategies. The Committee's goal for these activities was to: 1. Increase foundation staff/trustees' awareness about role foundations can/do play in public policy. Specifically: W hat puplic policy is; How public p olicy gets made; Why fo undations should participate in public policy process (impact on program goals); and What roles foundations can p lay in public policy arena (in general and by foundation type) 2. Increase nonprofit leaders' awareness of role nonprofit can/does play in public policy (through partnership with MNA). Committee Plan of Action Tactic Status Initiated with articles, module in 2003 Public Policy 101 Course/Campaign lnstimte for New Grantmakers and on web, Handbook in development Fellow attends affinity group events and Refer Issues to CMF affinity groups for discussion/ recommendations for action Committee collaborates with those.

Committee History: Membership The Committee was constituted by invitation with a priority being representation by all foundation types (family, corporate, commun ity and independent) and regions. Membership has stayed steady at 20 with three new members offsetting three resignations. The Committee is served by two key nonprofit partners: MNA and the CRC. A core group of approximately eight members regularly attend meetings. During its first year, the Committee examined how it might relate to active CMF affinity groups (Land Use, K-12 and Devolution). Representatives of these groups were invited to the Committee's May 2002 meeting. As a result of their discussions, the Committee agreed to collaborate with these groups as needed rather than to add representatives of each to its membership. Groups currently active are Land Use, Aging, Women & Girls and Early Childhood. Questions: What are the most important criteria for Committee membership? • What relationship should the Committee have with active CMF affinity groups? • Is there an optimal size for the Committee? • How can the Committee more effectively engage members thereby increasing attendance at meetings?

CONFERENCE PROGRAM FORMAT ON 33rd Annual Conference Octobe r 10-12, Grand Traverse Resort and Spa Special Pre-conference Events, October 9 • __f!i:ttve �DEAR COLLEAGUES Welcome to the Council of Michigan Foundations' 33rd Annual Conference. We're excited to have you with us on the spectacular Grand Traverse Bay for the year's premier education and networking event for staff and trustees of Michigan foundations. Our theme, Effective Grantmaking for Changing Times, speaks to the increased expectations government, the media, nonprofits and foundation leaders have for every aspect of foundation operations from administration to grantor-grantee relations. The over 60 sessions, workshops, micro-workshops and other special opportunities will help you maintain or strengthen your foundation's effectiveness. We are grateful to the many Program Committee members who designed these opportunities. Their work was informed by the latest developments in the field as well as evaluations of the 2004 conference. Developing the capacity to tell your foundation's story is an important and often overlooked element of effectiveness. This year, CMF introduces its first conference exhibit, Telling Your Story, to showcase effective communication strategies used by CMF members. We encourage you to visit Resource Central frequently during the conference which offers an array of learning opportunities and excellent resources. While there, please visit with each of our exhibitors, all experienced in working with foundations. The generosity of our many sponsors has made it possible to provide you with an outstanding conference experience. Please join us in thanking them for their support. Thank you for being with us. TOM COOK, executive director MARLENE "MARTY" FLUHARTY, executive director Cook Family Foundation Americana Foundation BARBARA A. HALL, executive director MAUREEN NICHOLSON, executive director Whirlpool Foundation Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation �HONORARY CHAIRS The A rt and Mary Schmuckal Fam ily The Council of Michigan Foundations is honored to recognize the Art and Mary Schmuckal family of Traverse City as Honorary Chairs of the 33rd Annual Conference. Mary Hoffer grew up in Petoskey and was working as a bookkeeper and teller at Traverse City State Bank when she met and married a young dairy farmer named Art Schmuckal in 1945. By 1955, Art was looking for more activity and joined forces with George Slane to form the Slane and Schmuckal Oil Company, continually recognized as one of the best operations in the Shell franchise and still a family business. Throughout their 53 years of marriage, Art and Mary remained a devoted team. "What's always impressed me about my parents is they've been in the background," notes daughter Evelyn. "Their deep belief as Catholics is that works are important. They've been so involved in the Christian community and that has spilled over into the general community.They have given us a strong sense of direction, and I see that in my siblings and their children." Marsha Smith, executive director of Rotary Charities of Traverse City comments, "The Schmuckal family demonstrates philanthropy in the full sense of the word. They give of their time and talent, as well as resources to improve this community that has been their life long home. Nonprofit organizations, key to the fabric of the Grand Traverse Region, have benefited and continue to benefit from their service and leadership." For example, Art served as chairman of the Grand Traverse County Board of Supervisors when plans were made to build a new county Medical Care facility adjacent to Munson Medical Center in the 1950's. The plan represented a novel, cost-effective approach to combining hospital and county ancillary services, such as laundry and pharmacy. This ongoing interest in medical care is shown in last year's gift to support Munson's Emergency Room expansion -serving more than 40,000 people a year. The Art and Mary Schmuckal Family Foundation was established following Mary's death in 1999. "It was something that Mom wanted to do and all of us kids thought it was wonderful," says daughter Barbara. The family continues to use one consistent benchmark for supporting a project: "Does it benefit the community?" When the answer is yes, Schmuckal family funds are frequently committed to the cause, often quietly and behind the scenes. Following the legacy of their parents, Paul and Don Schmuckal and sisters Evelyn Richardson and Barbara Benson, continue to believe "the important thing is not how much you'll get paid or what you are entitled to, but to return back to the community what you have been blessed to have." �TABLE OF CONTENTS THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS & EXHIBITORS I General Information . ........ . ... ... . . . . ................. . .3 Resource Central ............ . . . .... . ...... .. ... . .... .. .. .4 Conference At a Glance . .. .............. ... . . . .... .. . .. .5-6 ****SPONSORS SESSION SPONSORS DTE Energy Foundation Americana Foundation Come rica Bank, Munder Blue Cross Blue Shield of Capital Management, Wilson Kemp and World Conference Schedule Asset Management Sunday, October 9 ......... .. .. .. .. . ................ ... .7 General Motors Foundation Monday, October 10 ....... ... ... . ............ . . ... . . .7-8 Matt Foundation CMF Early Matters JP Morgan Asset Management Funders' Group Merrill Lynch- The lies Group Dorothy A.

Unfortunately, homeless youth are not visible in Muskegon County, and the number is rising due to youth being "thrown out" at younger and younger ages. In 2004, Every Woman's Place/Webster House provided safe shelter to over 300 youth and had contact with over 1,000 youth without a permanent home. ·~~~····~ ·~· Clio Area Community Fund Community Foundation for Muskegon County In addition, Every Woman's Place also runs a Drop In Center and Street Outreach Program for homeless youth ages 16-22.

Advancing giving. February 23, 2005 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Philip H. Peters, Audit & Finance Committee Member David R. Lindberg RE: CMF 2005-06 Budget RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the 2005-06 Budget as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance and Executive Committees. On February 16, 2005, the CMF Audit & Finance and Executive Committees reviewed and approved the attached 2005-06 budget. Issues to note: Fiscal Year 2005-06 For our upcoming fiscal year 2005-06, the overall budget is fairly routine with no funding issues to report at this time. Fiscal Year 2006-07 2005-06 is the final year of special grant funding for technical support to community foundations. With the end of this grant the Community Foundation Endowment Fund will be used to subsidize the ongoing assistance in this area. In keeping with our 5% spending policy for endowment funds this fund will generate $291 ,000 in spendable income versus projected expenses of $525,000. Core Services Revenue Note 1: Member Contributions Overall the dues increase that was instituted on April 1, 2004, has been well received by the membership. With the S&P 500 being up 8.99% for the year ending 12-31-04, we expect dues for 2005-06 to remain relatively constant. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2004-05\3.3.05 Meeting Materials\Budget 3-3-05.doc �Note 2: Additional Member Contributions The bulk of this category includes the following anticipated major contributions. W.K. Kellogg Foundation C.S. Mott Foundation $150,000 24,000 Kellogg has indicated that 2004-05 will be the final year of their general support grant of $150,000, with future support in this area based on specific projects. CMF will be working with Kellogg over the next six months to further clarify their expectations for this annual support, with the expectation this amount will continue in future years. Note 3: Conference & Meetings Income & Expense Overall we anticipate revenue in this area to remain relatively constant for the coming year. The Annual Conference scheduled for October 2005 is budgeted to generate a $50,000 surplus, which is in line with the November 2004 Conference. Category Full registrations Partial registrations Total Paid Complimentary Total Actual November 2003 328 227 555 150 705 Actual November 2004 282 194 476 223 699 Note 4: Publications Income With the 141h Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory being released in December 2004, 2005-06 represents the off year for this publication, which is produced every two years. This accounts for the decrease in revenue from 2004-05. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2004-05\3.3.05 Meeting Materials\Budget 3-3-05.doc �Expenses Note 5: Wages & Benefits Overall staffing at CMF has been cut back by .5 FTE as of9-1-04. The increase from 200405 is due to a 4% budgeted wage increase coupled by a 14% increase in the cost ofhealth insurance. Note 6: Postage The increase from the prior year is due to shipping charges associated with the News service post cards and publications promotional maibng. Note 7: Equipment The decrease from 2004-05 is due to the purchase of a new copier in April of2004. Note 8: Technology The increase from 2004-05 is due to the following items: Replace 6 desktop computers Replace 2 docking work stations Outside Website support CMF news service Microsoft Office update $8,400 5,000 5,000 5,000 7,000 Note 9: Association Dues The dues to the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers are based on 1% of CMF 's core budget and thus account for $2,300 of the increase for 2005-06. $2,000 of the increase is due to the NCCS Membership budgeted for 2005-06.
