Our goal is to use communications more effectively to advance the achievement ofCMF' s mission, vision and objectives. Informed by the 2002 Strategic Plan/2004 Member Survey we completed by June of2004: • Analysis of existing communications • Creation of new Communications Team • Introduction of branding system (user manual, 2003 conference marketing & participant materials, annual report) • Launch of redesigned website • Introduction of original news stories (News Wire) and • Initiation of market research. Since June of2004 we have focused on: • Continued implementation of the branding system (stationary, publications and brochures) • Research of target audiences as noted below • Review and refmement of core messages as noted below • Improvements to marketing strategies • Identification of operational requirements Market research involving nearly 600 individuals included: Detailed data is available upon request. • • • • Interviews of over 350 member trustees, executives and staff; 43 editors and reporters from 39 newspapers; 16 station managers and on-air reporters for major television stations; 24 station managers and on-air reporters for major radio stations; 16 legislators and legislative staff members An electronic survey of 133 members Focus groups in Detroit and Grand Rapids involving 22 members Web trends collected on a monthly basis. Significant findings are as follows: • • • Media want quick, on-demand access to news sources, data, story ideas, contacts, and spokespersons. Legislators want quick, on-demand access to information about member activities such as grants, projects and research. Members hear from CMF at least monthly and value our communications as indicated by the following data. They increasingly prefer electronic delivery. • 93% of member main contacts (325 of389) receive NewsWire and 80% receive E-News (some opted out or are currently being spammed out). Only 7% of member main contacts receive no electronic or fax communication from CMF. These are primarily unstaffed family foundations that asked not to receive email or fax at home. �Communications Plan February 23, 2005 Page 3 • • • • E-news has a higher than average open and click-through rates The Newsroom on www.cmif.org has been the most visited area over a nine-month period during which the number of visitors increased 150% (from 1,462 to 4,947) Members value and use the website as indicated by member surveys and by a 100% increase in v isitors and 50% increase in new visitors between 4/04 and 1/05 On surveys and in interviews and focus groups, members indicated several preferences to improve the value of CMF communications. Those with a critical mass of support are included in the recommendations on page 3. Core Messages CMF has several core messages it uses across consistently, for example, - the year's best education and networking event for staffand trustees ofMichigan foundations -- was used in 2003 and 2004 annual conference marketing materials. In Phase II, CMF: • drafted core messages for major FY05 initiatives • determined that the Value Statements need to be used more effectively and frequently • refined the wording of Purpose Statements to improve their usefulness as core messages. Core messages CMF uses consistently are: Identity: a statewide membership association of over 400 foundations and corporate grantmakers making grants for charitable purposes. Mission: Vision: Values: Pwposes: to increase, enhance and improve philanthropy in Michigan. to be the premier philanthrophic support organization. Relationships, Inclusivity, Servant-Leadership, Knowledge, Excellence (simplified and started by key word) • Advocate for a legislative and regulatory environment conducive to philanthropy. • Educate foundation staff and trustees about effective practice. • Increase organized philanthropy in Michigan. • Lead and support collaborative philanthropic responses to critical needs. • Network Michigan grantmakers with each other and with grantseekers. • Promote public understanding of and appreciation for the role of philanthropy. • Operate a model membership association. Operational Requirements In FY05, CMF will continue strengthening its internal capacity through: 1. Improving quality control systems for its database of members/others. 2. Improving systems for obtaining member input and tracking member use and satisfaction. The FY05 Plan of Work proposes: • creating an Editorial Advisory Group �Communications Plan Fe bruary 23, 2005 Page 4 • • creating a list serve of member communications officers to facilitate the exchanges of ideas, requests for submissions and submission forms, guest articles, etc. conducting the Biennial Member Satisfaction Survey in the 41h quarter 3. Training staff to improve the accuracy and speed of responses to routine member inquiries. The CMF Communications Team includes Vicki Rosenberg, COO; Mike Gallagher, editorial consultant; Kathy Ginocchio, Director of Technology and former web master; and Gail FowersSchaub, Director of Knowledge Resources and Services. Bob Tobin, of Williams Group, and Amber Khan, of The Communications Network (in philanthropy) provided important advice. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. Date: February 23, 2005 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Philip H. Peters, Audit & Finance Committee Member Dav id R. Lindberg RE: CMF 12-31-04 Financial Statements Resolved that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the 12-31-04 Financial Statements 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 12-3 1-04 Financial Report. Of special note is the fact that the CMF Core Operations is projected to earn a surplus of $52,800. Core Operations Note 1: Member Contributions Overall the dues increase instituted April I, 2004 has exceeded our expectations with the lost revenue due to members canceling running below budget. As of early February 2005 we had 52 unpaid members with the anticipation that 16 will renew before 3-31-05. This will leave 36 members that we anticipate will not renew, primarily from the smaller fami ly foundation group. Note 2: Conference & Meetings As of December 61h registration figures for the Annual Conference were: Full Registrations Partial Registrations Speakers etc. Nov 2004 Budget 400 250 150 800 Nov 2004 Actual 282 194 223 699 Nov 2003 Actual 328 227 150 705 Based on our latest proj ections it appears the Annual Conference will generate a surplus of roughly $61,000, thanks to Rob's negotiation with the Hyatt in Dearborn to waive the $35,000 penalty they originally billed us for the shortfall in the overnight room counts. In exchange for waiving this penalty CMF needs to go back to the Hyatt in the fall of2007. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2004-05\3.3 .05 Meeting Materials\Finance 3-3-0S.doc �Expenses Note 3: Wages & Benefits The variance from budget is due to the unemployment compensation accrual that was set up to cover possible claims down the road, per the policy approved by this committee in October 2004. Note 4: Technology/Computers The favorable variance is due to the iMIS version 10 upgrade, which came as part of the annual maintenance fees we pay. Note 5: P ublications & Print ing The projected variance from budget is due to the follow ing items. Benefits Postcard Communications Consultant Travel expenses Directory Advertising Family Philanthropist Member Benefits Brochure Mich Grantmaking Scene & Memo reduced costs $4,000 3,000 4,500 3,000 2,600 6,000 Note 6: Professional Services The variance from budget is primarily due to legal expenses which we anticipate will end the year under budget.

Advancing giving. February 23, 2005 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Herbert (Ted) D. Doan, Investment Committee Member Re: December 31, 2004, Investment Report RESOLVED that the December 31, 2004, Investment Report, as reviewed by the Investment Committee, be accepted. On February 23, 2005, the Investment Committee met to review and approve 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 (MAP), meets to review the investment perfonnance for the operating and pennanent endowment funds. Recent Issues Addressed by the Investment Committee: KYIP Investments CMF is currently holding $10,401,572 received from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for the purpose of supporting pennanent endowment funds for three Kellogg Youth Initiative Pmtnership 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 m1d U.S. Treasuries. To date $2,550,000 in grants has been disbursed to the three sites and based on the matching requirement in place distributions are anticipated to last through 2009. Pooling of Investment of CMF Endowment Funds Using a new software package which provides 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 pooled investment account each at Comerica and Bank One (vs. 16 accounts in the past). This process significantly reduces the administrative time to rebalance the investments and book the monthly investment income to the various endowment funds. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2004-05\3.3.05 Meeting Materials\Investment Memo.doc �The enclosed Investment Report is presented in three sections. Investment Performance Report The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation formula 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 F ixed 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 transferring cash from the endowment funds to the CMF general checking account Investment Performance Comparison Report In addition to the Lipper returns, the Investment Committee uses the Cambridge & Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations as a benchmark comparison. With the pooling of the investments starting October 1, 2004, this is the last quarter in which the individual endowment funds will be listed on this report.

DISCUSSION ITEM- Guiding Principles as a Condition of Membership Beginning in 2004 as a part of the renewal process, members were asked to subscribe, for the first time, to the Guiding Principles of the Council ofMichigan Foundations. The renewal invoice form includes a box where the member main contact signs and dates their acceptance of the Principles. Renewal thank you letters reiterated the importance of these principles and m embers not signing were afforded the opportunity via their thank you to sign on. To date, twenty-nine members have not done so. Staff looks forward to the guidance of the Board in how to address this issue of non-signing.

Advancing giving. February 23, 2005 To: S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: 2005-06 Plan of Work cc: Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President and COO David Lindberg, Vice President Finance & Administration I am pleased to enclose the proposed Plan of Work for the fiscal year starting April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. The Plan ofWork has been prepared under the leadership ofVicki Rosenberg, Chief Operating Officer, with significant input by all Program Directors, Dave Lindberg and me. At the March 3'd Board Meeting, Vicki will lead the presentation that will include highlights of activities this year in Serving Grantmakers, Advancing Giving as well as new activities in the proposed Plan ofWork. RESOLVED: That the Plan of Work for 2005-06, as recommended by the Executive Committee, be approved. Background I would like to draw your attention to two key developments in the proposed Plan of Work: • metrics have now been developed for each objective in the Plan. The Metric is listed under the objective in the first column on the left. For the past three years we have been operating with one metric for each of the six goal statements. In an effort to better determine the outcomes of our actions, staff feels that this is an important step in demonstrating our accountability to both the board and the membership. The Executive Committee supports this development. the separate goals for membership and operations have been consolidated to a new goal: to operate a model membership association. The objectives for membership are continued! in the consolidated goal statement. • In addition, each year we present in this memo management's priorities for the new fiscal year. 1. Membership This year we are combining the two past priorities of Membership Retention and R ecru itment into one - Membership. With the financial shortfall we are facing in 2006-07, it is vital that we examine all revenue sources, and membership is a vital source - both in terms of dues from exiting members and potential members. This may be the year to consider expanding membership categories to include those categories of public charities that are grantmakers we presently do not serve- such as hospital foundations and K-12 foundations. Other activities this �2005-06 Pla n of Work Memo Febmary 23 , 2005 Page 2 year may include: restructuring the membership committee, new forms of membership for fami ly foundations and continued targeted asks to the list of 83. 2. Coordinated Marketing of Educational Opportunities While accountability continues to be a primary message, we have realized that it is one of the critical elements to effective philanthropy. Therefore in the proposed Plan of Work "Effective Grantmaking/Philanthropy" is going to be at the core of our many educational opportunities in 2005. 3. A Helpful Regulatory Environment for Philanthropy This priority continues to consume about 25% of my time. CMF is considered a leadership organization in the country with our experience and track record. We look forward to working with Ellen Barclay the new President of the Forum of 30 regional associations of grantmakers in implementing the accountability and effectiveness project, I have helped to develop. This will help CMF especially with our enhanced commun ications plan. I serve on one of the five work groups for the National Panel convened by Independent Sector as well as on the IS Public Policy Committee. 4. Strengthening our Internal Infrastructure This will be the final year of our five year strategic plan as well as the fi nal year of our three year technology plan. Much has been accomplished but more needs to be done. We look forward to summarizing the results and next steps at our fall Board meeting. The Communications Plan to be discussed at the March 3'd Board M eeting will get us started. These four priorities have been discussed with staff, and we look forward to discussing them with you. Finally, I have enclosed an organizational chart that details the complexity of CMF. �DRAFT FY2005 Plan of Work Mission: To increase, enhance and improve philanthropy in Michigan.

VI. Updates from Supporting Organizations A. Learning to Give The newly appointed Learning to Give Board of D irectors has met twice since the November Council of Michigan Foundations Board meeting in Detroit. Organizing documents have been approved and submitted both in Michigan and with the federal government. At the most recent meeting held on February 22, 2005, the new board reviewed, discussed and approved the 2005-2006 Plan of Work and Budget. The Plan of Work for Learning to Give for this fiscal year includes three major goals and their related tasks: 1. Creating new K-12 Philanthropy Education Curricular Products This goal completes the work promised in our current grants from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Lilly Endowment, Corporate for National and Community Service, Fetzer Institute, and the McGregor Fund. 2. Developing Selected Pa rtnerships to Support K-12 Philanthropy Education in Targeted States This goal completes the work in extending LTG through Grand Valley State University and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University (LTG-Michigan, and LTG-Indiana). In addition, efforts will be made this year to take LTG to at least one additional state. 3. Sustain K-12 Philanthropy E ducation This goal includes the development of the new supporting organization for Learning to Give and the continued exploration of strategies for the long-tem1 sustainability and growth of philanthropy education. The LTG Board agreed that there are two primary priorities under goal three: to pursue national corporate sponsorship; and a potential merger opportunity with a new group called "Community League". We expect significant activity on both priorities this spring and look forward to a fu ll briefing at the CMF June Board Meeting. In addition, the Lilly Endowment has invited submission of a $1.5 million proposal for the three years starting January 1, 2006. The next LTG Board meeting is scheduled as a conference call on June 7, 2005. CMF Board members are encouraged to visit the new rooms on the web-site (leamingtogive.org) that extend the philanthropy education resources to Parents, Youth Workers, and Religious Instructors. Included in the back pocket are: LTG at a Glance, an article from Grand Valley State University and a one pager on LTG at the area IMAX Theaters. �President's Report February 23, 2005 Page 7 B. Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures The "Community Foundation R & D Incubator" supported by the Mott Foundation has already begun research for the next portfolio of marketing and communication tools to be released this Fall at the COF Community Foundation conference in Seattle through the National Marketing Action Team (NMAT). The "Regional Marketing Initiative" continues with three states, Iowa, South Carolina and Maryland planning collective marketing campaigns in their regions utilizing the NMAT marketing tools. A renewal grant application has been submitted to the Mott Foundation for the period starting April 1, 2005. Aspen Institute' s Nonprofit Sector Research Fund and the CS Mott Foundation have supported a research project "Together is Better", examining the effects of regional collaboration among small community foundations on their operations, marketing and financial sustainability. This research project is a joint effort ofMCFV, Blueprint Research & Design, Inc., Public Policy Associates, and Williams Group, and will include 5 case studies on collaboration- two from Michigan. More than a 40% response rate was received to the national survey, exceeding expectations. The final report is being drafted for an April 15 release. "Making a Difference: A community impact series," a four session Michigan curriculum on opportunities for community foundations to better define and collect meaningful outcomes and performance measures with grantees has been repurposed as a self-directed web based product will be made available to the nation later this spring via the Council on Foundation's Center for Community Foundation Excellence, thanks to funding from the Mott Foundation. CompassPoint Nonprofit Services in San Francisco with MCFV in an advisory role has received $40,000 in grants to conduct a national research study on the status of relations between Community Foundations and U nited Ways in rural communities, mid-size cities and large urban metropolitan areas. The report will be presented at the COF Fall Conununity Foundation Conference in Seattle. C. Michigan AIDS Fund In November, the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) was in the midst of a major organizational assessment with the counsel of the Management Assistance Group (MAG) consulting firm in Washington, DC. After a rigorous review and analysis, MAG presented three potential options for the future direction of MAF. In December, the MAF Board of Tmstees adopted the option to "transform MAF into a new entity with a broader vision that includes both a role as funder and a role advocating for sound and compassionate public policy regarding HIVI AIDS." To that end, the Board adopted MAF's new mission: "To prevent the spread of HIVI AIDS in Michigan by increasing knowledge and awareness of the HIVIAIDS epidemic, and to raise and invest public and private funds to effectively prevent the disease." �President's Report February 23, 2005 Page 8 While this means re-dedicating the organization to its role as a funder, it is with a singular focus on preventing H IV/AIDS in Michigan. Our Transition Committee and the Alford Group have been working to develop a detailed plan, a sound budget, and practical steps for implementation. The new plan requires development of new grant making guidelines, a much greater emphasis and investment in fund development, and a re-alignment of the MAF Board around our new objectives. As we enter the third decade of the disease, the H IVI AIDS epidemic has changed and MAF is changing to meet the needs ofthose most affected. CMF has been a vital partner with MAF since our found ing in 1989 and we look forward to working together in the fight against HIV/AIDS. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Board discussed the criteria, and approved the concept in principle with the new language to be presented to the Executive Committee. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the non membership category, Associate Partner- Individual in Consultant Service, be developed with the final language to be reviewed with the Executive Committee. �Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes- November 3, 2004 Page 5 Government Relations Committee Committee Co-Chair Libby Maynard presented the Government Relations Report. Ms Maynard reviewed the revised Legislative Goals Statement, a copy of which is attached, noting changes to Goals 9, 15 and 16. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Legislative Goals Statement, a copy of which is attached, be approved with the 2004 updates noted in bold. Ms. Maynard presented a recommended position on the State Budget Crisis, requested by the Board at the Jw1e 2004 Board Meeting after discussing the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) document, Socially and Fiscally Responsible Solutions to the State Fiscal Crisis- Recommendations to the State Policymakers. She noted that the Board did not take a position on the MNA document because one of the recommendations was to decouple the Michigan Estate Tax from the Federal Estate Tax, a step that contradicts an existing CMF Legislative Goal. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations supports bipartisan efforts to seek long term fiscally responsible solutions, including but not limited to restructuring 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. Ms. Maynard shared the Committee's initial response to the 19-page Senate Discussion Paper. She noted the National Panel being formed by Independent Sector will include Michigan members - B ill R ichardson, Bill White, Dottie Johnson and Sam Singh and have a preliminary report in February with a final report in June. However, she noted that the Committee feels it is important that Senators Levin and Stabenow be infonned now of CMF's positions on the issues as noted in the recommended resolution. RESOLVED 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. Learning to Give National Steering Committee Chair Russ Mawby updated the Board on the progress of Learning to Give (LTG). Kathy Agard, Executive Director, noted LTG will now be seen on factoids/ads in Jack Loeks Theaters prior to the showing ofiMAX films because LTG has developed teacher lesson plans on IMAX films. Ms. Agard announced the Fetzer Institute will be moving their "Generosity of the Spirit" philanthropy materials to the LTG website soon. Rob Collier highlighted the work of the National Steering Committee over the past several months in exploring corporate sponsorships. He shared that consultants recommend LTG needs to have its own identity. Because CMF has a well established system in place with its two supporting organizations, Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures and the Michigan AIDS Fund, the Steering Committee recommends Learning to Give become a Supporting Organization of CMF as an intennediary step. �Board of Trustees Meeting M inutes- November 3, 2004 Page 6 Russ Mawby has agreed to serve as the Founding Honorary Chair, with Dottie Johnson and Jim Kelly serving as Co-Chairs. Jim Kelly noted the focus is to aggressively grow LTG building on the accomplishments in Michigan and now in Indiana.

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 year Dorothy A.

Martin Taylor, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees Council ofMichigan Foundations Re: Position on January 27,2005 Report from the Joint Committee on Taxation on Options to Improve Tax Compliance and Reform Expenditures for Exempt Organizations Section VIII of the Joint Committee on Taxation Report issued January 27, 2005 includes 12 recommendations for options to improve tax compliance of exempt organizations. The Council of Michigan Foundations is joining our national partners in a thorough review of these recommendations. However, the Board of Trustees passed a resolution at its meeting of March 3, 2005 to oppose Options A, F, G and H as described below. Option A. Require Five-Year Review of Exempt Status of Public Charities and Private Foundations. This option requires that every five (5) years §501(c) (3) organizations (except Houses of Worship), must file with the Secretary information on whether it continues to be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes. This filing must be done electronically and made publicly available. Failure to file would result in loss of tax-exempt status. Raises: Less than $50 million Summary of Rationale for Opposition 1. The infonnation in a five year review is already provided in the annual 990 and 990PF filing. 2. This would require additional expense by nonprofits and foundations to complete the reporting requirement - thus taking limited funds away from their intended charitable uses. 3. The IRS does not have the capacity to fulfill its current oversight responsibilities of Exempt Organizations. The proposed $50 million in revenue would be consumed by the added administrative costs Option F. Modify Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Conservation and Facade Easements. This option would eliminate the charitable contribution deduction with respect to far;:ade and conservation easements relating to personal residence properties, substantially reduces the deduction for all other qualified conservation contributions, and imposes new standards on appraisals and appraisers regarding the valuation of such contributions. Raises: $1 billion Summary of Rationale for Opposition 1. The conservation easement has played a major role in recent land preservation projects in Metro Detroit, West Michigan, Northern Lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. 2. The law currently provides for adequate valuation requirements. �3. The proposed changes would adversely impact historic preservation efforts on main street projects statewide as well as the abilities of the land conservancies to keep preserved property in private ownership. Option G. Limit Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Clothing and Household Items. This option would limit the amount that taxpayers may deduct for contributions of clothing and household items to $500. Raises: $1.9 billion Summary of Rationale for Opposition 1. Many donors will be discouraged from making the effort to donate to charitable re-sale operations, and land fills will be the ultimate beneficiaries. 2. Appraisal requirements for donations valued in excess of $5,000 would be more effective in curbing the problem of excessive valuations by donors. 3. The sustainability of many faith-base charitable organizations would be adversely impacted by this option. Option H. Reform Rules for Charitable Contributions of Property. This proposal contains various options and concepts to limit deductions on donations of property, generally to the lesser of basis or fair market value. They do not apply to publicly traded securities and certain other property already addressed in previous legislation, i.e., intellectual property and vehicles. Suggestions for enhanced appraiser accountability, limiting the deduction to the disposition amount, and eliminating deductions for property altogether are also included. Raises: $2.5 billion Summary of Rationale for Opposition 1. The number of gifts of real estate to community foundation throughout Michigan continues to grow as part of the intergenerational transfer of wealth now underway. 2. Real estate is the largest asset classification and thus gifts should be encouraged with appropriate requirements on independent appraisals. 3. At a time when government suppott is being reduced for needed local programs and services, local communities need access to major sources of charitable gifts - real estate being a key. �Finance Committee Democratic Staff Summary of Joint Committee on Taxation Report on Options to Improve Tax Compliance and Reform Expenditures January 27, 2005 (Costs are over 10-year window) VIII. EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS A. Require Five-Year Review of Exempt Status of Public Charities and Private Foundations and Annual Notice by Organizations Not Required to File Information Returns (sec. 508). The proposal require that every five (5) years §50l (c)(3) organizations (except Houses of Worship), must file with the Secretary information on whether it continues to be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes. This filing must be done electronically and made publicly available. Failure to file would result in loss of tax-exempt status. Raises: Less than $50 million B. Impose Termination Tax on Conversions of Assets of Charities (sec. 501,507, 4941, and 4958). The proposal applies to public charities and to private foundations, and thus eliminates the present- law aggregate tax benefit limit contained in §507. In the case of private foundations, the proposed tennination tax applies to voluntary or involuntary tenninations, as well as to conversion liquidation transactions. The proposed termination tax also applies to a public charity if there have been either willful repeated acts or failures to act that give rise to liability for Chapter 42 taxes, which includes§§ 4955 and 4958. In order to assure that fair consideration is paid in conversion transactions, the proposal extends the §4958 excess benefit transaction tax rules (in case of public charity) or §4941 self-dealing rules (in case of a private foundation) to an acquirer of the charity's assets in a conversion or liquidation transaction, if persons who are disqualified persons of the charitable organization are in a position to exercise substantial influence over the affairs of the acquirer at the time of or after the transaction. No Revenue Effect C. Tax Involvement by Exempt Organizations in Tax-Shelter Transactions (sees. 6011 and 6707A). The proposal requires disclosure by tax exempt entities (often accommodating parties) to the IRS of participation in a "prohibited tax shelter transaction" and disclosure of other known parties if it is a reportable transaction. Prohibited transactions include only certain reportable transactions. New penalties at both the entity level and the entity manager level are included in the proposal, and the deductibility of contributions to the entity may be suspended for one year. Existing disclosure penalties also apply. Raises: $500 million D. Reform Intermediate Sanctions and Extend Certain Reforms to Private Foundations (sees. 4941 and 4958). Proposal eliminates rebuttable presumption and establishes due diligence procedures that apply to public charities and private foundations. If an initial tax is imposed on a disqualified person under the intermediate sanctions rules or on a self-dealer under the self-dealing rules, the organization is subject to an excise tax equal to 10% of the excess benefit in the case of a public charity or a social welfare organization, or 2.5% of the amount involved in the case of a private foundation. Raises: $200 million �E. Increase the Amount of Excise Taxes Imposed on Public Charities, Social Welfare Organizations, and Private Foundations (sees. 4941,4942, 4943, 4944, 4945, and 4958). For acts of self-dealing other than the payment of compensation by a private foundation to a disqualified person, the initial tax on the self dealer goes from 5% to l 0% of the amount involved. For acts of self-dea ling regarding the payment of compensation by a private foundation to a disqualified person, the initial tax on the self-dealer goes from 5% to 25% of amount involved with 15% of which is subject to abatement. It increases the initial tax on foundation managers from 2.5% to 5% of the amount involved and increases the dollar limitation on the amount of the initial and additional taxes on foundation managers per act of self-dealing from $10,000 per act to $20,000 per act, and doubles the dollar limitation on organization managers of public charities and social welfare organizations for participation in excess benefit transactions from $10,000per transaction to $20,000 per transaction. Raises: Less than $50 million F. Modify Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Conservation and Fa~ade Easements (sec. 170). The proposal eliminates the charitable contribution deduction with respect to far;ade and conservation easements relating to personal residence properties, substantially reduces the deduction fo r all other qualified conservation contributions, and imposes new standards on appraisals and appraisers regarding the valuation of such contributions. Raises: $1 billion G. Limit Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Clothing and Household Items (sec. 170). The proposal limits the amount that taxpayers may deduct for contributions of clothing and household items to $500. Raises: $ 1.9 billion H. Reform Rules for Charitable Contributions of Property (sec. 170). Option One: This proposal contains various options and concepts to limit deductions on donations of property, generally to the lesser of basis or fair market value. They do not apply to publicly traded securities and certain other property already addressed in previous legislation, i.e., intellectual property and vehicles. Suggestions for enhanced appraiser accountability, limiting the deduction to the disposition amount, and eliminating deductions for property altogether are also included. Raises: $2.5 billion I. Require Public Disclosure of Form 990-T and Related Certification Requirements (sees. 6104 and 6685). The proposal extends the present- law public inspection and disclosure requirements and penalties applicable to the Form 990 to an organization 's Form 990-T. Organizations that normally have annual total gross revenues or gross assets of at least $10 million must include with its Forms 990 and 990T filings a certification by an independent auditor or by an independent counsel. Raises: Less than $50 million J. Expand the Base of the Tax on Private Foundation Net Investment Income. Proposal amends the definition of gross investment income to include income from notional principal contracts, annuities, and other substantially similar income from ordinary and routine investments. Carrybacks of losses from sales or other dispositions of property are not included. Raises: $200 million �K. Limit Tax-Exempt Status of Fraternal Beneficiary Societies that Provide Commercial-Type Insurance (sec. 501 (c)(8)). A fraternal beneficiary society, order, or association is exempt from tax as an organization described in section 501 (c )(8) only if no substantial part of its activities consists of providing commercial-type insurance. In the case of an organization that is exempt from tax under the proposal, it is taxed under the rules relating to insurance companies rather than under the unrelated business income tax rules generally applicable to exempt organizations. Raises: $500 million L. Established Additional Exemption Standards for Credit Counseling Organizations (sec. 501). Under the proposal, a nonprofit credit counseling agency or other nonprofit organization that provides credit counseling, debt management, and similar services, is eligible for exemption from income tax only as a charitable or educational organization under section 50l(c)(4). It also provides additional requirements that must be satisfied by a credit counseling organization in order to be an organization described in section 50l (c)(3) or (c)(4), and the requirements supplement, rather than replace the present law requirements.

Advancing giving. May 25,2005 Memo to: Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Diana Sieger, Chair, Community Foundations Committee Donnell Mersereau, Director, Community Foundations Re: Report of Community Foundations' Progress on National Standards The Council on Foundations (COF) launched National Standards for U S. Community Foundations in 2000. The first two rounds of community foundations to apply for Confirmation of Compliance (Phase II in the process) submitted their applications on January 31 , 2005 and April 30, 2005. There will be additional rounds on June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005, and February 2006. Successful applicants will receive a seal indicating compliance starting in 2006. All community foundations that are awarded compliance will need to resubmit materials to recomply every five years as part of the on-going review process. In Michigan, one community foundation submitted documentation to comply with National Standards by January 31, 2005, six others were invited to submit documents in April 2005. The rest of Michigan community foundations are scheduled for June, 2005 though many will not be ready to submit until September, 2005. COF offers technical assistance phone calls providing community foundations with an opportunity to have their questions answered and also provides access to effective practices and sample documents located on a members-only section of the COF website. However, only 13 community foundations in Michigan have access to the members only section of the COF website. As a result, CMF has made its number one priority, upon the recommendation of the Community Foundations Committee, to provide three types of technical assistance to supplement that offered by COF, especially for the smaller non COF members. + On-site consultations + Sample documents and standards compliance books on the CMF website + Telephone availability to answer specific questions By the end of March, 47 of Michigan's 55 community foundations who are CMF members, had received or had a visit scheduled with one of four CMF staff members. While all four are highly knowledgeable about community foundations, two have been through the training for Standards reviewers and one brings special expertise in financial investment policies. These v isits provide community foundation staff and/or board members with: an explanation of the purpose and value of National Standards and the process used to get there, an overview of the process, a walk through of a completed standards book, and a review of several helpful tools as well as other resources available to them. (Note from Rob: We are fortunate to have both Diana Sieger and Donnell Mersereau on the Standards Action Team of the Council on Foundations' Community Foundations Leadership Team.) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. Date: May 25, 2005 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Lloyd J. Yeo, Treasurer RE: CMF & Supporting Organizations March 31, 2005 and 2004 A udit Report RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the Rehmann Robson March 31,2005 & 2004, Audit Report as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. On May 19, 2005, the CMF Audit Committee met to review and accept the enclosed Audit Report in which Relunann Robson issued an unqualified opinion. Below are some brief highlights from the audit report. Combined Balance Sheet With grant conunitments now in place to disburse the KYIP funds, the fixed income and equities investment portion of this project were moved to a money market account during 2004-05, to secure the value of this portfolio for future distributions. This change resulted in an increase in the cash portion of the balance sheet by $11,325,863. The expenditure of special project grant dollars, primarily in the areas of Learning to Give (LTG), Michigan Individual Development Account Partnership (MIDAP) and WKKF III resulted in a decrease of approximately $3.4 million. Investments The decrease from the prior year is due to the transfer of the KYIP Investments in 2004-05 from fixed income and equities to a money market account. Grants Payable The decrease from the prior year is due to the Tobacco Settlement and Team Up grants that were being processed at 3-31-04. Both of these projects are close to winding down at this time. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2005-06\6.2.05 Meeting Materials\Audit Report.doc �Net Assets Temporarily Restricted - $2,550,000 of the decrease is due to the grants paid out from the KYIP project in 2004-05. The remaining decrease is primarily due to expenditures from LTG, and MIDAP. Combined Statement of Activities & Changes in Net Assets Revenue Grants Support The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in new grants awarded for the MIDAP and LTG projects. Net Unrealized and Realized Gains The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduced growth of the U.S . stock market in 200405 and liquidating the KYIP investments part way through 2004-05, which locked in market losses incurred at the beginning of the year. Expenses Overall expenses are in line with the previous year. �CMF Council of Michi an Fou n:fations Serving 9rantmakers. Advancing giving. May 25, 2005 Memo to: CMF Board of Trustees From: Lloyd J. Yeo RE: CMF 3-31-05 Financial Statements RESOLVED that the CMF Audit & Finance Committee accept the March 31, 2005, Internal Financial Report as recommended by the CMF Audit & Finance Committee. On May 19, 2005, the CMF Audit & Finance Committee met to review and approve the enclosed internal financial statements. Key items to note: CMF Core Member Services has ended the year with a surplus of $113,554, which is due to the following reasons. Further explanation of each item is noted in the narrative below. Line Item Membership Investment Additional Membership Investment Other Income Investment income Wages Occupancy Postage Supplies Association Dues Publications & Printing Professional Services Variance Favorable (Unfavorable) $36,000 (12,000) 10,000 16,000 4,000 4,000 8,000 3,000 5,000 25,000 10,000 Core Operations Note 1: Member Contributions Overall dues exceeded expectations due to the strong investment performance for the year ending December 31, 2003 (which is the year-end assets balance members would have used to calculate their 2004-05 dues payment), with portfolio returns in the 25-30% range. It appears portfolio returns for the one year ending 12-31-04 were closer to the 12% and therefore I expect dues for 2005-06 from existing members to be up only slightly. �CMF Financial Statements May 25, 2005 Page 2 Note 2: Additional Member Contributions The bulk of this category includes the following contributions. $150,000 24,000 W.K. Kellogg Foundation C.S. Mott Foundation 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 project requests. CMF will be working with Kellogg over the next six months to further clarify their expectations for this portion of their annual support. Note 3: Conference & Meetings The registration figures for the November 2004 Annual Conference were: Full Registrations Partial Registrations Speakers etc. Nov 2004 Bud2et 400 250 150 800 Nov 2004 Actual 282 194 223 699 Nov 2003 Actual 328 227 150 705 With CMF agreeing to hold the Fall 2007 Annual Conference at the Hyatt in Dearborn the hotel has agreed to cancel the overnight room short-fall bill for $35,000 and all other penalties that were part of this contract. The net surplus for the November 2004 Annual Conference was $63 ,455. Note 4: Publications 165 Michigan Foundation Directories were given to State and Federal Legislators and charged to the Allen and Mawby Funds at the published rate of $70 each. This generated $11,550 in revenue for CMF Member Services. �CMF Financial Statements May 25, 2005 Page 3 Note 5: Other Income Includes the following items: GVSU Honoraria (various dates) Collier stock gift Learning Network Honoraria Job postings on website Nokomis Foundation Honoraria Howbert time- national fami ly foundation newsletter CMF portion of profit family foundation national newsletter $2,899 4,544 250 200 600 875 3,353 Note 6: Investment Earnings Exceeded budget due to the rising interest rat,e s on the money market operating account. Expenses Note 7: Wages & Benefits In 2004-05 a $ 19,500 accrual was established to cover potential unemployment claims. This budget overage was offset by the support position for the Detroit office being vacant for the first five months of the year. Note 8: Technology/Computers The favorable variance from budget is due to three PCs which were not purchased, since existing equipment was meeting our cwTent needs. Note 9: Association Dues The variance from budget is due to the Forum of Regional Association dues which came in under budget. This contribution is based on the CMF Core Membership budget which was below budget due to attendance at the annual conference being less than anticipated, thus resulting in conference expenses being under budget. �CMF Financial Statements May 25, 2005 Page 4 Note 10: Publications & Printing The favorable variance is due to the following reasons: Member Benefits postcards & brochure not produced Conm1Unication Consultant fees & expense under budget Michigan Directory Advertising not placed Family Philanthropist under budget Reduction in issues of Memo to Members Reduction in issues of Michigan Grantmaking Scene $6,500 4,600 4,500 2,400 4,500 7,400 Note 11: Professional Services The favorable variance is due to legal bills being less than budgeted. This is primarily due to the research work and guidance Clark Hill provided on Corporate Foundations and the IRS Form 990 PF that was charged to the Mawby Fund, as special one time work for members.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) is a membership organization of foundations and corporate giving programs with a mission to enhance, improve and increase philanthropy in the State of Michigan. In order to assure that CMF operates in the highest ethical standards, much of the Board's oversight occurs through the standing committees of the Board, such as the Audit & Finance Committee. The primary function of the Audit & Finance Committee is to assist the Board of Trustees in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities by overseeing CMF's financial reporting and public disclosure activities. The Audit & Finance Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are to: A. Assist Board oversight of (I) the integrity of CMF's financial statements, (2) CMF's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) the independent auditor's qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of the CMF's independent auditors. The Audit & Finance Committee will fulfi ll these responsibilities primarily by carrying out the activities specified in Section IV of this Charter. The Audit & Finance Committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board of Trustees, shall be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of any independent auditor employed by CMF (including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work, and each such independent auditor shall report directly to the Audit & Finance Committee. The Audit & Finance Committee shall have the authority to retain, without prior permission from the Board or management, special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Committee, provided the fees for those services are reasonable. CMF shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Audit & Finance Committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board of Trustees, for payment of compensation to any advisors employed by the Committee. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Audit\Charter 6-2-0S.doc �II. COMPOSITION The m embers of the Audit & Finance Committee shall be elected by the Board and shall serve for a period of time not to exceed their maximum term as trustee of CMF or its supporting organizations. At a minimum the committee shall consist of five members- one trustee from each supporting organization (Learning to Give, Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures and the Michigan AIDS Fund) and two trustees from the Council of Michigan Foundations. A . Independence The Audit & Finance Committee shall be comprised of four or more members each of whom shall have been affirmatively determined by the Board to be independent. B. Financial Literacy and Expertise Each member of the Audit & Finance Committee shall be financially literate; as such qualification is interpreted by CMF's Board of Trustees in its business judgment, or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Audit & Finance Committee. III. MEETINGS The Audit & Finance Committee shall meet at least three times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. One of those meetings shall focus on review and approval of annual audited financial statements with the independent auditors. A second meeting will focus on reviewing the annual budget. A majority of the Audit & Finance Committee members currently holding office constitutes a quorum for the transaction of a business. The Audit & Finance Committee shall take action by the affirmative vote of a majority of committee members present at a duly held meeting. IV. RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES The Audit & Finance Committee shall undertake the following responsibilities and duties. A. R etain and terminate the CMF's independent auditors and pre-approve all audit and non-audit services. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Audit\Charter 6-2-0S.doc 2 �B. Obtain and review the peer review performed every three years on the independent auditor describing the finn's internal quality-control procedures. C. Discuss the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditor. D. Periodically review the internal financial statements with managem ent. E. Review major changes to CMF's accounting principles and practices, financial reporting process, and system of internal controls, as suggested by CMF's independent auditor or management. F. During the annual audit review process consult, with the independent auditor, outside the presence of management, about the auditor's judgments about the quality, and not just the acceptability, ofCMF's accounting principles as applied to its financial reporting, and CMF's internal controls and the completeness and accuracy of CMF's financial statements. G. Review with the independent auditor any audit problems or difficulties and m anagement's response. H. Report to the Board of Trustees at each Board meeting. I. Review the s ignificant findings from supe rvisory examination reports of state and federal agencies and the corrective action taken by management to such reports, as applicable. J. Qualification While the Audit & Finance Committee has the responsibi lities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit & Finance Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that CMF's financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These are the responsibilities of CMF's management and the independent auditor. While it is not the responsibility of the Audit & Finance Committee to conduct investigations or to assure compliance with laws and regulations, the committee is responsible to make sure any non-compliance issues that come to their attention are properly dealt with. The Audit & Finance Committee serves as liaison between the Board of Trustees and management, and assumes any duties either requested or directed by the Board of Trustees, and provides re levant financial information to the Board members on a timely basis.

Doan, Investment Committee Member Re: March 31, 2005, Investment Report RESOLVED that the March 31, 2005, Investment Report, as reviewed by the Investment Committee, be accepted. On May 20, 2005, the Investment Committee met to review and approve 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 perfonnance for the operating and pennanent endowment funds. Recent Issues Addressed by the Investment Committee: KYIP Investments CMF is currently holding $10,443,596 received from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for the purpose of supporting pennanent endowment funds for three Kellogg Youth Initiative Pmtnership 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. To date $2,550,000 in grants has been disbursed to the three sites and based on the matching requirement in place, distributions are anticipated to last through 2009. Pooling of Investment of CMF Endowment Funds Using a new software package which provides 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 pooled investment account at Comerica and Bank One (vs. 16 accounts in the past). This process significantly reduces the administrative time to rebalance the investments and book the monthly investment income to the various endowment funds.

Advancing giving. May25, 2005 Memo to: Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Libby Maynard, Co-Chair, Government Relations Committee Rob Collier, President cc: David Kennedy, Co-Chair, Government Relations Committee Re: Government Relations Update RESOLVED that S.B. 993 "Excise Tax on Certain Acquisitions oflnterest in Insurance Contracts in which Certain Exempt Organizations Hold An Interest" be supported and that supported be conveyed to Members of Michigan's Congressional Delegation. I. Background On May 11 Senators Grassley and Baucus jointly introduced this Bill to impose an excise tax equal to 100 percent ofthe acquisition costs on the taxable acquisition of any interest in an applicable insurance contract (life insurance, annuity, endowment contract in which both an applicable exempt organization and any person that is not an applicable exempt organization have directly or indirectly held an interest in the contract.) Attachment A is the press release from the Senate Committee on Finance detailing the Bill. This legislation is similar to a proposal, to end what is sometimes referred to as underwriting arbitrage, in President Bush's budget although has a harsher penalty. These type of transactions were one of the subjects ofthe June 2004 Senate Finance Committee Hearing. The significant issue according to the Council on Foundations (COF), which has recommended support of this Bill, is that charities realize penalties on the dollar while investors and promoters reap substantial financial rewards. The only tax shelter component is the use of the charity's exemption to shelter the annuity payments. COF has identified three community foundations named as beneficiaries of such transactions. We are unaware of any Michigan community foundations that are involved. The financial impact on participating community foundations and their donors will be minimal, although embarrassment will be a concern. While the CMF Government Relations Committee has not been able to discuss this issue, we are recommending support of this Bill at this time. Supporting this legislation demonstrates our commitment to high ethical standards in fundraising and investment strategies. �Government Relations May 25, 2005 Page 2 II. Summary of other activity in Washington related to philanthropy since the March Board Meeting March 8, 9 Foundations on the Hill Attachment B is a list of the members and CMF staff who participated in the annual Hill visits. We met with 13 members of Congress, staff of the other two and both Senators. We were delighted to have Senator Stabenow and Congressman Ehlers speak at our dinner meeting hosted by the DTE Energy Foundation. Attachment C is a memo that we delivered concerning CMF's position on the four primary revenue raisers in the report of the Joint Committee on Taxation. All of the members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation are supportive ofCMF' s position on these issues and the other concerns raised by the work of the Senate F inance Committee. As a result of our meeting, Senator Levin sent a memo (Attachment D) to Senator Baucus, Minority Leader of the Senate Finance Committee. April 5, Senate Finance Committee Hearing "Charities and Charitable Giving: Proposals for Refonn" Attachment E is a summary of this Hearing prepared by the Council on Foundations. One surprise was the proposal from Leon Panetta, fom1er member of Congress and Chief of Staff to Leon Panetta that there be a National Council on Nonprofit Accreditation. April 13, Representative Berger (R-CA) introduces H.R. 1607 - Public Good IRA Rollover Act This Bill supports a priority of CMF's Legislative Goals Statement, and we have shared our support with Congressmen Camp and Levin. April20, House Ways and Means Committee Hearing "An Overview of the Tax-Exempt Sector" Attachment F is a summary of this Hearing prepared by the Council on Foundations. The Summary notes questions on page 3 from both Congressman Camp and Congressman Levin Michigan' s representatives on the Committee. Chairman Thomas has a particular interest in the blurring of the boundaries between the purpose of non-profits and for-profits with a particular focus on tax-exempt hospitals. The issue of what defines a public purpose will continue to generate interest by this Committee. April27, Town Hall Meeting in Southfield for National Panel More than 220 nonprofit representatives, including more than 40 foundation representatives, participated in an afternoon briefing on the work of the National Panel convened by Independent Sector at the request of the Senate Finance Committee. Michigan Panel members Dottie Johnson, Bill White, Bill Richardson and Sam Singh from the Michigan Nonprofit Association, all spoke. CMF, MNA, the C.S. Mott Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and The Kresge Foundation all sponsored the event. Attachment G is the agenda for the meeting along with the questions addressed by participants in the discussion sessions. June 8, Senate Finance Committee Hearing on Gifts of Appreciated Property, Conservation and Historic Facade Easements Senators Grassley and Baucus have announced their intent to hold hearings involving The Nature Conservancy, Land Trust Alliance and others involved in the gifting of real estate and easements. Representative Camp and both Senators Levin and Stabenow have already shared their opposition with the Senators to the recommendations of the Joint Committee on Taxation on these issues. CMF has been sharing examples of the gifting of real estate with the Senators and �Government Relations May 25, 2005 Page 3 engaged key organizations involved in the rebuilding of the Woodward Corridor in Detroit to prov ide information as well. June 22, Final Report of National Panel to be presented to Senators Grassley and Baucus The public comment period for the Final Report of the National Panel closed on May 19. The five work groups have a last round of meetings in early June before the National Panel meets with the Expert Advisory Committee to complete the Report. Vital issues that the Final Report will address include: • Board Compensation • Executive Compensation • Structure, Size, Composition and Independence of Boards of Directors • Travel Expenses • Donor Advised Funds • Type III Supporting Organizations • Abusive Tax Shelters and Charitable Organizations • Periodic Review of50l(c)(3) Status • Disclosure of Perfonnance Data by Public Charities • Non Cash Contributions • Revisions to Forms 990 and 990-PF Through his role as Chair of the MNA Public Policy Committee and a member of the Independent Sector Public Policy Committee, Rob has provided input on a number of these ISSUeS. July, 2005 - Legislation Expected from the Senate Finance Committee Senator Grassley and his staff have continued to signal that Donor Advised Funds, Type III Supporting Organizations, Tax Shelters and Credit Counseling Agencies will be the focus of the next Bill. In response to a request for a Senatorial privilege from Schumer of New York, the Chairman agreed to delay introduction of further legislation until after the National Panel has submitted its Final Report. However, as indicated above, he has already moved on insurance scams. Chairman Bill Thomas has not scheduled another Hearing of the Ways and Means Committee. III. A Discussion Item- Revisiting The Estate Tax Attachment His an April 24, 2005 article from The New York Times titled, "Charities are silent on Loss of Estate Tax." If time permits at the Board Meeting, we suggest a discussion on the merits of further researching the impact of the loss of the Estate Tax on philanthropy in Michigan. CMF's official position is one of neutrality, as is COF's position. Independent Sector supports reform of the estate tax that balances relief to fami ly farms and small business owners with continues tax incentives for the charitable gifts generated by continuing the estate tax. The following points from Independent Sector are prov ided to inform our discussion. The Relationship between Estate Tax and Charitable Donations • The estate tax includes an unlimited deduction for charitable giving, providing a valuable incentive to donate a portion of the estate to a charity or philanthropic fund. Although Americans have always supported a strong and independent charitable sector and give primarily out of a sense of altruism and compassion, policy makers have long recognized the �Government Relations May 25, 2005 Page 4 vital role tax incentives play in encouraging Americans, particularly wealthy taxpayers, to give more. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in 2003 more than half of charitable bequests came from estates valued at over $10 million, and two-thirds ofbequests came from those valued at over $5 million. • For decades, charitable organizations have encouraged wealthy donors to consider making bequests, establishing endowments or setting up foundations from their estates. Planned giving is now a key fundraising tool for nonprofits, and gifts from estates are an essential source of revenue. In fact, bequests have become one ofthe pillars of philanthropy and repealing the estate tax that encourages such gifts would, in essence, destroy the foundation of that pillar. • A July 2004 report by the Congressional Bud!get Office (CBO) 1 found that the estate tax not only provided an incentive for charitable giving at death (bequests), but also plays an important role in the philanthropic decisions people make throughout their lives. This conclusion has also been reached by other researchers.2 • According to the CBO report, based upon tax year 2000, one-sixth of estate tax returns fi led showed a charitable bequest, totaling $16 billion. The report estimated that repeal of the estate tax would have resulted in a decrease of charitable bequests of 16 to 28 percent and an overall loss of charitable donations of $13 to $25 billion in 2000 alone, more than the total corporate donations made that year. 3 • Studies have also shown that the most significant incentive for charitable contributions from estates is the top tax rate. 4 An estate tax rate that is too low would also dramatically affect bequests. When the top estate tax rate was reduced in 2003, the IRS found an 18.2% decline in charitable bequests compared to the previous year. Total bequests in 2002 were $17.83 billion and dropped to $14.6 billion in 2003. • Any reduction in the top tax rate would increase the cost of giving. The greater the reduction, the more detrimental the impact on philanthropy. Thus, significantly lowering the rate, such as to 15 percent, would have a profoundly negative impact on charitable giving. Where Do Bequests Go? • Many bequests go to religious organizations. According to Giving USA Surveys, all large religious organizations, more than half (56%) of medium-sized religious organizations and nearly a quarter (24%) of small religious organizations received bequests in 2001. • Educational institutions, hospitals, social service organizations, humanitarian assistance organizations, arts institutions, and every other segment of the charitable sector benefits from bequests and/or grants from philanthropic funds established by decedents in order to provide long-tem1 support to charitable organizations. 1 The Estate Tax and Charitable Giving, Robert McClelland and Pamela Greene, Congressional Budget Office (CBO), July 2004. 2 Effects of Estate Tax Reform on Charitable Giving, Jon M. Bakija and William G. Gale, Brookings Institution, No. 6, July 2003; Estate Taxes and Charitable Bequests by the Wealth, David Joulfaian, National Tax Journal, vol 53, no. 3 (September 2000), pp. 743-64. 3 CBO, supra note I; 4 Ibid.; Options to Reji>rm The Estate Tax, Leonard Burman, William Gale, and Jeffrey Rohaly, Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, March 2005. �Government Relations May 25, 2005 Page 5 Who Pays Estate Taxes? • Pursuant to the Economic Growth and Tax ReliefReconciliation Act of2001 , the estate tax exemption level rose to $1 million in 2002 for an individual ($2 million for a couple), up from $650,000 in 2001. ln 2004, the exemption level rose to $1.5 million for an individual ($3 million for a couple) and is scheduled to go to $2 million for an individual in 2006 ($4 million for a couple). By 2009, the exemption level will have risen to $3.5 million for an individual ($7 million for a couple), and the top estate tax rate will be 45 percent, down from 55 percent in 2001. • The vast majority of Americans are not subject to estate taxes at death. As the asset amount exempt from the estate tax rises, the number of estates subject to the tax declines. Today, the tax applies to only 2 percent of estates. By 2011, if the estate tax is retained at its 2009 levels, only 0.3 percent of all persons who die that year would be subject to the tax. In short, the estates of only 3 people out of 1,000 would be covered by the tax in 2011. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The C.S. Mott Foundation has provided a second year of funding. Aspen Institute's Nonprofit Sector R esear ch F und and the CS Mott Foundation have supported a research project "Together is Better," examining the effects of regional collaboration among small community foundations on their operations, marketing and fmancial sustainability. This research project is a joint effort of MCFV, Blueprint Research & Design, Inc., Public Policy Associates, and Williams Group, and will include 5 case studies on collaboration - two from Michigan. The report is due to the field in early June. "Making a Difference: A community impact series," a four session Michigan curriculum on opportunities for community foundations to better define and collect meaningful outcomes and performance measures with grantees has been repurposed as a self-directed web based product will be made available to the nation via the Council on Foundation's Center for Community Foundation Excellence, thanks to funding from the C.S. Mott Foundation. Promotion and release of this new, innovative training is scheduled for early June. CompassPoint Nonprofit Services (CompassPoint) and MCFV received $40,000 in grant support to conduct a national research study on the status of relations between Community Foundations and U nited Ways in rural communities, mid-size cities and large urban metropolitan areas. The report will be presented at the COF Fall Community Foundation Conference in Seattle. B. M ichigan AIDS F und The Michigan AIDS Fund Board is meeting on M ay 27 to focus attention on HIV prevention. While the Board and staff recognize the continuing need for such efforts as patient care and organizational capacity building, it has decided to focus staff expertise and limited resources on the prevention ofHIV transmission. Core activities that support this new mission will be grantmaking to support programs and services that focus on science-based methods to present the spread ofHIV/AIDS, and public engagement to mobilize policymakers and community leaders to respond to the epidemic. While prevention dollars have become more scare at the federal level- only 5% of all federal funds allocated for HIV/A IDS, research confirms that it is the only strategy that absolutely works. Rates of new infections range from 570 to 1,200 persons per year and more than 16,000 Michigan residents are living with HIV /A IDS. The estimated cost of care and treatment for one HIV person is $195,000. A recent study found that $1 million invested in prevention saves $2.7 million in medical care. The partnership with the Michigan Department of Commm1ity Health continues to be the primary source of funds for re-granting by the Michigan A IDS Fund. �President's Report May, 2005 Page 8 C. Learning to Give May 26,2005 To: Council of Michigan Foundations Board of Tmstees From: Dorothy A. Johnson, Co-chair James A Kelly, Co-chair Re: Learning to Give Update The Learning to Give Board is meeting by conference call on May 31. Approval is expected of a one year joint operating agreement with Community League, based in Newark, New Jersey. This Agreement could lead to an eventual merger, and we will provide a more detailed report to the CMF Board in the fall on progress with this Agreement. Founded by Bill Hoogterp, a successful community activist, national youth service leader, and recent dot.net online entrepreneur with ties to Michigan, the League's core idea is to credit monetary value to youth donations and service and to track the values online as "points". Students are organized into teams within schools. Schools are organized into leagues and substantial recognition is given to students and teachers for points earned. Bill Hoogterp, has impressive personal relationships with political, youth leadership, corporate (especially young new leaders such as the President of JetBlue and the creator of Java Script), media executives, and actors/actresses. He wants to work within schools and recognizes that Learning to Give prov ides the cognitive classroom-based educational component to the service activity and experiential approach of the League. During this period, CL and LTG will pilot test a merged model in two school districts in New Jersey, and two districts in Michigan. In addition, two districts in Washington DC and in Indiana may be included. At the end of the school year (spring 2006) it should be apparent whether it makes sense to continue a relationship and what type; if there is a need for another year of testing, or if there is no reason to continue a relationship. Other highlights of activities this spring include: • The Kellogg Company Senior Vice President for Marketing, Kevin Smith continues to be very helpful in providing assistance regarding the national corporate sponsorship. After nine-months of background work for approaching Wal*Mart changes in the avenues of contact have made access less possible. The focus is now turning to Microsoft. • A number of interesting partnerships have been secured with groups such as the National Center for Family Philanthropy, Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy, and the Association of Small Foundations. New partnerships are in the final discussion phases with groups such as Idealist and DonorsChoose. • The LTG web-site is now averaging over 150,000 user sessions a month. User sessions mean that the person is actually working on the site and not just browsing through. This �President's Report May, 2005 Page 9 equates to 1.8 million user sessions in a year. There are over 3 million "hits" on the site each month. A hit simply means someone clicked-on the web site. • A proposal to the Lilly Endowment is due in mid-June for $800,000 over a two-year period.

Rob Collier led a discussion on member support for the Guiding Principles as a condition of membership. Government Relations Rob Collier reviewed the report from the Joint Committee on Taxation with the recommendation that CMF oppose four of the options in the Report as noted below. Mr. Collier noted that Sections A & H w ill have the most significant impact on organized philanthropy. It is acknowledged that the IRS does not have the capacity to undertake the proposed five-year review and the added reporting requirement would not impact the issues that the Senate is interested in correcting in nonprofit governance. The main priority seems to be to generate income from the proposed new fee. In addition, the proposed changes on the value of gifts of real estate would impact the growth of new foundations as well as contributions to donor advised funds. Sections F & G will impact individual donors as well as grantees of many CMF members. Because of the CMF visit to W ashington on March 8 & 9, the recommendation to oppose these four options would be communicated to m embers of the Michigan Congressional delegation, especially Senators Levin and Stabenow. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations oppose the following recommendations from the Joint Committee on Taxation Report issued January 27, 2005- a copy of which is attached from the Summary prepared by the Democratic Staff of the Finance Committee and convey these positions to the members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation. Section A. Require Five-Year Review of Exempt Status of Public Charities and Private Foundations. (Note - CMF's position would not address the requirement for an annual notice by organizations not required to file). Section F. Modify Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Conservation and Facade E asements. �Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes- March 3, 2005 Page 5 Section G. Limit Charitable Deduction for Contributions of Clothing and Household Items. Section H. Reform Rules for Charitable Contributions of Property. CMF Trustee Dave Egner, also Chair of the Foundation Liaison Advisory Committee, reported that the Committee feels the work of Karen Aldridge-Eason and Associate Maura Dewan has been helpful to both the State and the foundation community and is requesting that CMF continues its role for an additional period of time. The time frame being recommended would carry the office through the 2006 Election and into the State budget that would start October 1, 2007. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that the Council of M ichigan Foundations continue to act as host for the Office of the Foundation Liaison to the Governor of the State of Michigan for the period Oct ober 1, 2005 to March 31, 2008 and submit proposals needed to secure the private funding needed to operate the Office for that time.

Advancing giving. May23, 2005 Memo to: Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Dave Egner, Susan Broman, and Karla Hall, Co-Chairs Public Policy Committee, Vicki Rosenberg, COO, and Julie Ford, Public Policy Fellow Re: Public Policy Committee Report RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the addition of "criminal justice" to the Public Policy Committee's focus issues that now include land use, early childhood, health care, k-12 education, and workforce development. Background Criminal justice policy addresses law enforcement, courts, and corrections systems, including issues such as: prisoner reentry, sentencing guidelines, juvenile justice, and the rising costs of public safety. With the knowledge that the Department of Corrections consumes a larger portion of the state budget each year, houses approximately 50, 000 prisoners at any given time, 90 percent of whom will eventually be released back into Michigan communities, and employs over 17,000 people, the Committee seeks to add criminal justice to its focus issues as a result of its economic and social importance. Update Since the March 2005 report to the Board, the CMF Public Policy Committee has hosted educational events and begun to implement its 2005-2007 plan. Highlights of activities include: • • • • Several members of the Committee traveled to New York City with state leaders in early March for site visits to two successful community children's programs funded by the C.S. Mott Foundation, Hosted a session on the legal rules surrounding advocacy and crafting effective public policy messages at the Forum of Regional Associations ofGrantmakers' Conference in Washington, DC. Met on April 18 to welcome new members Sheri Brady, Director of Public Policy at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Neal Hegarty, Program Officer at the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, Glenn Kossick, Executive Director of the Metro Health Foundation, Nora Maloy, Senior Program Officer at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation, and Peg Tal burtt, Executive Director ofthe James A. & Faith Knight Foundation; discuss developments related to policy, program, and partnerships related to its six focus issues; and discuss ways to more fully engage legislators in its work. Pmtnered on April 21 with community foundations and the Office of the Foundation Liaison on Fathers Matter: A Forum for Grantmakers and Policymakers. Approximately 50 attendees heard presentations by Dr. John Jeffries, fatherhood consultant, Senator Bill Hardiman, and First Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhern and participated in roundtable discussions about challenges facing fathers and actions they might take in their communities. �• • • • Partnered on May 12 with theW. K. Kellogg Foundation on a grantmakers briefing on the Michigan Middle Start Initiative. Held the Committee's fi rst site visit on May 24 to the Armory Arts Project in Jackson on the arts and economic development. On behalf of the Michigan Chapter of Grantrnakers in Aging (GIA), applied for and received a grant of $20,000 over two years from GIA to increase funding, support, and understanding of aging. The grant requires a one-to-one match from Michigan foundations. Continued increasing CMF members' awareness and understanding of the Committee's focus issues through articles, links to research reports and the events mentioned above as summarized below.
