Re:

35 1h Almual Conference, October 22-24, 2007, Dearborn.

We look forward to discussing the following recommendation with you.
RESOLVED that invitations be extended to the Boards of the Donors Forum of Ohio and
Indiana Grantmakers Alliance to join with CMF in making the 2007 Annual Conference in
Dearborn a pilot effort at a three state regional conference that would become a biennial
event starting in 2009 based on the evaluation of the 2007 event.
Background

Attendance at CMF Annual Conferences has remained consistent at a figure ranging from 600 to
800 when one considers the past decade. In 1999 there was an increase that can attributed to
Dottie Johnson' s retirement and the special evening event that drew 800. In 2000, the first
Conference in Traverse City, attendance was also higher in large part due to the inclusion of
nonprofit environmental representatives and the large Rotary Club of Traverse City
representation.
While the Content of the Annual Conference continues to generate high marks, attendance is
impacted by the following issues and more:
• Location
• An abundance of conference choices - two are taking place at the same time as this
conference
• The growing role of the Internet and Technology
• The intergenerational transfer of philanthropy
• A trend to shorter meetings
At the same time, members and participants at our Annual Conference have indicated that they
would like to have more opportunities to network with other grantmakers in the Great Lakes
Basin. Our colleagues in Indiana and Ohio each do annual conferences with attendance
averaging 250 to 300. Our analysis indicates that there is the potential to realize economies and
revenues by combining these three conferences into one event.
As part of the preparation for this pilot, we would work with members on designing a Michigan
only Conference- shorter in length - that would occur in 2008 and then on alternating years
with the Biennial Tri-State Conference. This recommendation responds in part to the challenge
from the Monitor Group - a national think tank organization - that regional associations must
rethink their business models and look for opportunities for coordinated impact.

Re:

33'd Annual Conference, Effective Grantmakingfor Changing Times
October 10-12, 2005, Traverse City and special pre-conference events, October 9.

We look forward to having you with us at the 33'd Annual Conference, Effective
Grantmakingfor Changing Times, which begins at 12:30 p.m., Monday, October 10, with
Networking Topic Lunches. Your registration materials will be provided to you at the
Board Meeting.
Conference Design
In addition to three plenary sessions, seven feature sessions and 23 concurrent sessions,
the conference offers several special opportunities including:
•

Excellent pre-conference sessions: Effective Governance for trustees with Deborah
Hechinger, president &amp; CEO, BoardSource and Dealing with Ethical Dilemmas for
grantmakers with Gabriel Works, senior consultant, The Grantmaking School at the
Johnson Center for Philanthropy at Grand Valley State University

•

A roundtable discussion on supporting leadership development in nonprofits, hosted
by Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO), the first GEO event in Michigan.

•

Generosity ofSpirit, an invitational workshop for pairs of family foundation trustees.
This is the first invitational event the Fetzer Institute has offered at a CMF
conference.

•

Telling Your Story , the first CMF conference exhibit, designed to educate and inspire
members to tell the story of their foundation through annual reports, newsletters,
websites and media strategies. The exhibit was designed by a team of state and
national communications professionals and underwritten in part by the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation. Discussions are underway to present the exhibit at the fall 2005
Communications Network annual conference and at the winter 2006 Forum of
Regional Associations of Grantmakers conference. A related exhibit guide, designed
as a simple tool kit, will be made available on the CMF website in spring 2006.

•

Two Experienced Grantmaker Seminars: "Difficult Dialogues for Grantmakers" led
by GrantCraft project leader, Jan Jaffe, which is a follow-up to her 2004 session,
"The Role of Power &amp; The Power of Role" with GrantCraft; and "Cultivating a Spirit
of Giving" with Fetzer Institute Program Officer, Mark Nepo.

Re:

Position on Creation of Small Private Foundations

RESOLVED that CMF take a position to oppose efforts by Congress to set a dollar
threshold for creation of new private foundations.
Background
In 2004, Elliott Spitzer, Attorney General of New York State, proposed state legislation that
would limit the creation of any new family foundation to a minimum asset level of $20 million.
This proposal generated a firestorm of protest from the foundation community, ofwhich New
York State has more foundations than any other state, and he withdrew his proposal. However,
he did say that he thinks there needs to be a minimum threshold for private foundations.
On May 25, 2005 The Chronicle ofPhilanthropy published an opEd piece by Emmett Carson,
president of the Minneapolis Foundation, titled An Easy Way to Curb Foundation Abuses. A
copy of the article is included as Attachment A.
On June 14, Mr. Carson discussed the key recommendation in his piece, namely that Congress
should require donors to contribute at least $1 million if they want to create a foundation, as part
of his remarks at the Nonprofit SuperConference in Dearborn. Needless to say his remarks were
met with expression of concern by a number of our members in attendance.
Mr. Carson has continued to talk about this issue in other public presentations, including the
Association of Small Foundations, resulting in an article by William Schambra in the
July/ August issue of Philanthropy - see Attachment B. In the article, titled Small is Beautiful,
Mr. Schambra takes issue with the assumption by Mr. Carson that small foundations cannot be
accountable.
It is important to note that there are approximately 1,200 foundations in Michigan, each with
assets ofunder $1 million and 170 are members ofCMF. Attachment Cis an analysis by Jeri
Fischer which shows the change in assets between 1993 and 2003 for 29 of these foundations.
With help from the staff of The Foundation Center (FC) in New York we have looked at the
records on 325 private foundations with assets under $1 million having a primary address in
Detroit, Southfield, Birmingham and Grand Rapids. Collectively this group has assets of
$87,308,65 1, total expenditures of $14,943,344 and total giving of$13,373,619.

�Family Foundation Memo
Page 2

FC staff found that of this group, 79 or 24% seem to be administered by bank trust offices based
on their addresses. This is useful information to have, because one of the concerns that have been
expressed by members of the Senate Finance staff in Washington is that too many small
foundations are being controlled by banks and law finns and no longer serve the interests of the
original donors. This concern is compounded by the issue of bank fees that impact charitable
distributions.
At this time no national or regional organization has endorsed Mr. Carson's recommendation and
the Board of the Council on Foundations has made it clear that he is to make sure audiences
realize his recommendation is not shared or endorsed by COF. However, in light of the scrutiny
by Congress of the administrative expenses of private foundations, it is likely that a minimum
asset size will be part of future legislation - much as a minimum Board size of three is expected
to be proposed.
The Government Relations Committee will monitor this activity in Washington and keep us
informed of legislative proposals. We are recommending at this time that CMF take this position
opposing Government efforts to impose a dollar threshold on the creation of new private
foundations.

An Easy Way to Curb Foundation Abuses
By Emmett D. Carson
As lawmakers have been debating how to encourage greater foundation accountability, one
simple, low-cost idea that could make a big difference has not gotten much attention. Congress
should require donors to contribute at least $!-million if they want to create a foundation.
Foundation with assets of less than $!-million accounted for 70 percent, or 50,336, of the 71 ,541
informational tax returns fi led by private foundations and just 5 percent of all foundation assets.
While many of those institutions are undoubtedly well run, others are not, and it is impossible for
federal and state governments to monitor them effectively. Philanthropies with $!-million or less
in assets seldom have staff members, typically do not produce annual reports or grant-making
guidelines, and usually offer no means by which grant seekers can contact them. What's more,
most of those foundations do not join national or local professional associations, so they do not
often get exposed to training sessions and educational materials that would help them understand
changes in laws governing nonprofit organizations and learn how well-respected, effective grant
makers operate.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult to imagine how the smallest private foundations can
achieve the level of accountability that the public, news media. and government expect.
Plenty of options are available to donors who have $!-million or less to give away, so
eliminating small foundations would in no way prevent anyone from donating generously to
charity.
In the past, some experts have suggested setting a far higher threshold for the minimum amount
needed to create a foundat ion. For example, New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer in 2003
urged Congress to get rid of all foundations with $20-million or less in assets out of concern that
too many small foundations were abusing tax laws. However, it makes little sense to get rid of so
many foundations when the most-significant problems occur with foundations that are worth$!million or less.
To be sure. for many donors, the social status they gain from creating a foundation is important.
But foundations would have more prestige if their creators were a far more exclusive club-- one
reserved for people who have substantial assets to give away. And for people who want to start
small and then expand their foundations. it would be a simple matter to distribute donations
using another giving technique until the donor is ready to put $!-million or more into a
foundation.

�Private foundations arc often created out of the donor's desire to retain control over how his or
her money is distributed. But donors can get such control over their assets in many other ways.
They can write checks to any charity anytime they want and invest their own money in whatever
way they think best. It doesn't take a foundat ion to do that kind of giving, and, in fact, most
financial and tax advisers do not think the expense of setting up a foundation and complying with
government rules is worthwhile unless a donor has at least $1-million to contribute.
Millions of Americans successfully engage in philanthropy without taking on the responsibility
of a private foundation. The smallest foundations will always find it difficult to meet the most
basic accountability standards. And because they are so little, they rarely command attention
until they have done something wrong.
The entire philanthropic field is tarnished when any foundation is discovered to be acting
illegaJiy or unethically. Philanthropy's highest objective must be ensuring the integrity of the
franchise. By eliminating the need for regulators to monitor the activities of a large number of
the very smallest foundations, limited time and resources can be focused on the big private
foundations that are better able to meet the gro\ving demands for higher standards of ethics and
accountability.

Small Is Bountiful
In defense ofS'I1U10foundations
BY WILLIAM A. SCHAMBRA

HEN THE ASSOCIATION OF

W

Small Foundations gathered in
Minneapolis this past May 19
for a three-day conference, it
seemed only natural to ask
Emmert Carson, CEO of the local
community foundaLion and board
chair of the Council o n Foundations,
to welcome conference attendees. But
his remarks were something less than
welcoming. For he took the occasion to
argue thaL many ~mall foundationsthose wirh less than $1 million in
endowment-should simply not exist.
The problem, he LDSisted, is lack of
accountability. As he wrote in a subsequent Chronicle ofPhila1zthropy op-ed,
fully 70 percent, or 50,336, of the
71 ,541 informational tax rerums filed by
private foundations in 2001 came from
such small funders-far too many to be
monitored adequately by the IRS. Simply eliminating them IS one "simple, lowcost" approach for Congress to consider,
he said, as it attempts to regulate more
tightly a field that has been shaken by
recent widespread reports of self-dealing
and corruption. Donors, Carson added,
would still be able to make small gifts
either directly or through donor-ad vised
funds and community foundations.
Carson was, of course, simply
speculating about the degree of abuse
and corruption among the sma llest
foundations since, as he points out, we
possess so little by way of objecti"e
information about most of these entities. The Association of Small Foundations (ASF) does conduct an annual
survey of operations and management

paid staff o r compensate board members for routine service. Most of them
are managed by an unpaid CEO who
is also a board member. Furthermore,
they do considerably better on average
than the legally required pay-out of 5
percenr of their assets: In the 2004-05
survey, foundations with under $1 million in assets gave away an average of
7.3 percent of assets annually. (A more
recent ASF srudy of 375 random North
Carolina foundations with under $1
million in assets found even higher
average distributions.) By contrast, the
narion's ten richest foundations in
2003-2004 gave away an average of
4.1 percent. The data we have, in short,
suggest that small foundations work
hard at giving assets to charity, rather

than directing them into the pockets of
board members or staff.
Carson's suggestion that most corruption occurs among the smallest
foundations is particularly ironic
because virruall)' all of rhe press srories
about philanthropic corruption
involved fou ndations larger thanoften considerably larger than-$1 nullion in assets. The story that set off the
latest round of reports, for instance,
was the San jose Mercury's coverage of
excessive salaries and perquisites at the
James Irvine Foundation of California, with over $ J.5 billion in assets.
The most nororio us case unearthed by
the Boston Globe's series in 2003
involved the Paul and Virginia Cabot
Foundation of Boston and irs wildly
overpaid CEO. But its assets at the
rime were around $5 million.
Just as Willie Sutton supposedly
robbed banks because "that's where
the money is," so one might conclude
that the foundations m ost likely to
invite abuse are those that have reasonably large and tempting endowments. After all, it's hardly worth risking even the remote possibility of being
nabbed by the lRS for the minor sums
to be extracted from a foundation with
less than $1 million in the bank. And
as Tun Walter, rhe president of ASF,
points out, the tax filings by the smallest ·foundations are short and easy to
read, which makes concealing illegal
activioes fairly difficult. By contrast,
figming out what lurks in the phonebook-sized returns of large foundations
is no simple cask, as the newspaper
investigators discovered.
But Carson is rea lly concerned
abom something more than corruption. He argues that there is a proper
and acceptable-not just a legal-way
to go about philanthropy. He concludes that only larger foundations are
likely to be respectful of that orthodoxy. SmaUer foundations, he points
out, don't hire much staff, don't pubW li.UAM A. SCH AMDRA

�!ish annual reports or guidelines, and
don't join professional associations,
"so they don't often get exposed to
raining sessions and educational marerials that would help them understand
changes in laws governing nonprofit
organizations and learn how wellrespected, effective grant makers operate" (emphasis added).
These remarks betray the hold that
progressive, "scientific philanthropy"
continues to have on the field of philanthropy, even though there's no empirical evidence that hiring staff, publishing annual reports, or anending
Council on Foundations meetings prevents corruption or leads to more effecove grantmaking. The view of scientific
philanthropy, nurtured by the twentieth
century's first large, modern foundations like Carnegie, Rockefeller, and
Russell Sage, held that grantmaking is
too complex and sophisticated to be
left in the bands of well-meaning amateurs, but is rather a demanding profession to be mastered only by uained
expertS. Sophisticated donors transcend
'&gt;ftty, localiz.cd charitable activity and
.vork on the "root cause:." u( social
problems through large, complex, col·
laborative social engineering projects,
designed by professionals steeped in
the latest social science research.
ln this view, small foundations'
true problem is not corruption, but
dilenantism. They ignore the professional norms prescribed by larger,
"well-respected" foundations, and fail
to do their part to sustain the elaborate
institutional apparatus built around
those nor ms. Tbey don't provide
enough employment opportunities for
graduates of the burgeoning nonprofit
management training centers so enthusiastically funded by the larger foun·
dations. Nor are they likely to subordinate their idiosyncratic views to the
collaborative consortiums sponsored
by regional and national associations,
which are designed to bring order, efficiency, and rationality to otherwise
wasted smaller donations.
Put more blundy, Carson's proposal
can be understood simply as an effort by
the guild of larger, established foundations to erect a "barrier to entry,n protecting the guild's intellectual and insti-

tucional hegemony against obstreperous
smaller upstarts. Indeed, Carson explicidy appeals ro the restrictive guild mentality when he argues for his ban on
smallness on the grounds that "foundations would have more prestige if their
creators were a far more exclusive clul&gt;one reserved for people who have sub-

stantial assets to give away."
Carson notes that, once they're forbidden ro establish d1eir own private foundations, smaller donors may nonetheless
give freely through other avenues, including direct contributions, donor-advised
funds, and community foundations. Crit·
ics have pointed our that thJs is yet another
case of special pleading on Carson's part,
given his leadership of one of the community foundations that would benefit
directly from this new disposmon. However worthwhile community foundations
are, the fact remains that a donor in a
donor-advised fund is just that~ advisor, while the fina l legal authority for
grants restS with the community foundation's staff and board of directors. Furthermore, a donor within a community
foWJdation comes under the same pressureexerted by a professional membership
association (like the Council on FoWldations), namely, to pool otherwise isolated,
idiosyncratic, smaller grants into larger,
collaboratively funded initiatives created
and admimstered by the foundation's professional staff-all, of course, in the name
of ensuring the most efficient use ofcommunity resources in the public interest.
Indeed, in other circumstances,
Emmen Carson has been quite clear
about the need to subordinate personal
donor preferences to encompassing
social purposes. Ln Foundations News
and Commentary (Jan uary/February
2005), for instance, Carson decried precisely the "donor-focused model" he
sees spreading from commercial donoradvised funds into community foundations. This approach is "in conflict

with the idea of collectively raising and
directing resources to address common
community problems."
Carson argues that community foundations ''have the ability to determine the
cause of social inequities and to correct
them at the source," and should therefore
focus on "promoting social justice in their
communities" by altering "the power relationships that exist between citizens and
their rdationship to government, business, and the nongovenunent sectors."
The problem with permining wealthy
individuals to set their own philitnthropic
agendas, he suggests, is that they have
done well in the private sector; so "it is difficult to imagine that they would consent
to be at the vanguard for wholesale
changes to the entire system." Consequently, Carson argues, community foundations should rededicate themselves to
"the accumulation of unrestricted assets
over tin1e directed for the common good
rather than individual donor interests,"
though this lll:lY require that we "leave
behind those who are wedded to the path
of being charitable bankers rather than
social change agents."
Viewed in this light, Carson's animus
against srnaU pnvare foundations has little to do widl corruption or inefficiency.
It rather reflects his conviaion thar any
grantmalcing directed chiefly by the
donor's wishes--even when ir's con·
ducred through commercial or commu·
nity foundation donor-advised funds-is
deeply flawed, because it is insufficiend)'
inclined to press for "wholesale changes
to d1e entire system."
Smaller grantmakers are indeed
likely to fall well shon of Carson's
standard of ideological engagement.
From the ASF surveys, we know that
foundations with less than $ 1 million
in endowment give an average of 16
grants per year, typically $2,500 per
grant. Among all ASF members, 1"\VO·
thirds of the grants were awarded
locally, and over 50 percent of the
grants involved site visits as part of the
grant application process. Some 60
percent of grants were made to projects
in education, health, and human services. Only 1.5 percent of grants went
to public policy or foreign affairs. lr's

in the name of "social justice."
Students of Alexis de Tocqueville's
understanding of civil sociery will recognize and appreciate this state of
affairs. For Tocqueville, the fact that
there are over 50,000 small foundations-most giving close to home, for
tangible projects that donors were personally visiting-would have been neither surprising nor a cause for alarm.
Rather, it would have been a hopeful
indication of robust civic health. The
fact that the smallest grassroots nonprofits have a chance of attracting

with the larger, policy-oriented foundations-is another plus for civic
vitaliry. That some grant dollars are

"wasted" by duplication, inefficiency,
or even occasional self-dealing would
have been viewed as a price well worth
paying for such widespread, active
engagement by so many citizens. By
contrast, Carson's preference for the
concentration of wealth behind a
small band of professionals pursuing
doctrines of radical egalitarianism is
pr.ecisely the sort of malignant political impulse that Tocqucvil!e fea red in
the new age of democracy.
We can only hope rhat Congress
and state legislatures grasp the larger
principles ar stake in this debate and
resist Carson's seemingly innocuous
call to "tidy up" the sector through rhe
elimjnation of the smallest foundations.

RE:

CMF 8-31-05 Financial Statements

RESOVED that the CMF Internal Financial Report as of August 31, 2005 be accepted

of CMF. While most of the activity for this project continues to take place under the CMF
Special Projects portion of the financial statements, all new grants awarded after 3-31-05 are
being booked to the new corporation.

CMF has received a verbal commitment from the Kellogg program staff to continue their
annual contribution of $150,000 for the next five years, with formal approval expected from
their board this fall.

Note 2: Conference Income
Based on the strong sponsorship numbers for the Annual Conference we expect to exceed the
budgeted surplus of$50,000 for this event.

Note 3: Investment Income
Has exceeded budget due to the rising interest rates (1.3% 2004 vs. 3.2% 2005) and interest
earnings on special projects funds, primarily the Joyce Early Childhood, IDA and
Technology grants. Interest on these funds had totaled approximately $20,000 to date.

�Financial Statements Memo
Page 2

Note 4: W ages
$10,000 of the favorable variance is due to the reimbursement received for CMF
administrative time charged to the Aspen/Matt Better Together grant. $14,500 of the
variance is due to the departure of a staff person in April 2005.
Note 5: Professional Services
Due to the reduction in fees negotiated with Public Affairs Associates, expenses for this item
in 2005-06 will total $4,800 vs. the $12,000 budgeted.

2006-07 Budget Planning

During previous board meetings discussions have taken place around the fact that the WKKF
IV grant, which funds technical assistance to community foundations, is coming to an end on
March 31, 2006. Resources to continue this work include the two endowment funds listed
below:

Community Foundation Endowment Fund
Community Found. Technology Fund

Market Value 8-31-05
$7,441,564
492,622

This change in funding sources will cause some administrative and overhead expenses to be
shifted back to CMF Core Operations, producing a potential deficit of approximately
$124,000 starting in fiscal year 2006-07.
During the Audit Committee meeting on September 16, 2005, management presented
preliminary solutions to this deficit issue, and received some valuable feedback that will be
incorporated in the 2006-07 budget planning process, which will be presented to the CMF
Board in March 2006.
Some of the solutions discussed included:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Adjustments to CMF staffing structure and wage increases.
Modifications to the Annual Conference costs.
Charging for some publications which are currently free on our website.
Pursuing additional meeting sponsors.
Pursu ing joint progranuning opportunities with Midwest conununity foundations.
Moving to a regular Membership Investment increase every fourth year.

Re:

June 30, 2005, Investment Report

RESOLVED that the June 30, 2005 Investment Report be accepted, as
recommended by the Investment Committee.
On August 31,2005, 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.
December 31, 2004 Return Comparison
Two recently released surveys confim1 that the CMF endowment funds continue to
perform well against its peers for the period ending 12-31-04. The third annual
Commonfund Benchmark Study covers 317 independent/ private, community and
operating charities. The annual COF Community Foundation survey included 189
community foundations from around the country for the year ending 12-31-04.

�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.

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 &amp;
Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities , and foundations as a benchmark
comparison. Due to the time it takes for Cambridge to collect the investment returns
nwnbers the enclosed report represents the latest numbers available.

Goal 17- to support efforts to limit tax shelters in which charities receive little or no benefit- as
a result of the action by the CMF Board at the Ju11e 2005 Bom·d Meeting to suppot1 S 993 which

would place excise taxes on insurance contracts in which certain exempt organizations may hold
an interest. In addition, the Committee members held a lively debate on Goal 13 dealing with the
Estate Tax. The Committee has decided to not recommend at this time a position on the Estate
Tax, such as that taken by Independent Sector and discussed in the Legislative Goals Statement.
At the Board Meeting, we will offer a verbal report on the flurry of legislation in Congress to
help stimulate charitable giving to address the needs of Hurricane Katrina victims. This activity
by Congress has included two hearings held by the Senate Finance Committee, which presented
the outpouring of generosity and activity by nonprofits to respond, as opposed to previous
hearings which have showcased examples of abuse in the sector. The Katrina Relief I Bill, a
summary of which is attached, includes several provisions for stimulating charitable giving. Two
new bills have been introduced in the House and Senate on September 28 -both include the IRA
Charitable Rollover. An additional Katrina Relief bill is expected to be introduced in mid
October.
In updating Section V, State Legislative Issues, the Committee is reconunending the addition of
Goal 7 - to support revisions to the Nonprofit Corporation Act. As summarized on page 10 of the
Statement, this revision will include at least one recommendation from the National Panel
convened by IS at the request of the Senate Finance Committee. In addition, we have included a
copy of the Top Ten Questions document referred to in Goal6.

The Committee also reviewed the Executive Summary of the Final Report from the Committee
convened by IS, copies of which have been previously shared with you by CMF staff. The
Committee discussed March 14, and 15, 2006 as the dates for Foundations on the Hill. We are
pleased to include a pen as your save the date reminder with this Board book. Save the Date
cards will be distributed to all participants attending the CMF Annual Meeting on October 11 .
Finally, we had meetings in August with Representatives Sander Levin and David Camp, our
two members of the House Ways and Means Committee, to discuss the legislative climate in
Washington. Both indicated that we must be alert to the potential Charitable Reform package
being developed by the Senate Finance Committee. They also indicated their support for the IRA
Charitable Rollover, and reaffirmed the value of our visits with them every year in Washington
as part of Foundations on the Hill.
We look forward to discussing this Report with you.

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 refonns 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 ofTrustees 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 ofCMF directed the Board of Trustees to develop a public
information program that would support and encourage Michigan foundation philanthropy and
include communication with public policymakers. A Government Relations Committee was
established to implement the program and has continued to 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 Forum 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.

IV. NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
1.

Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect
the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability.
Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private
foundation, it is important that all historical financial data be taken into consideration.

* Bolded text signifies 2005 update.
Page 2

�History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal.
(Reilly/Skadden, University ofMichigan Graduate School of Business Administration
study sponsored by CMF, 1981 -Private Foundations: The Payout Requirement and Its
Effect on Investment and Spending Policies, and a DeMarche Associates, Inc. study
"Spending Policies and In vestment Planningfor Foundations," 1995, sponsored by the
Council on Foundations.) 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, confirms 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% for private foundations. The introduction of charitable reform
legislation from the Senate Finance Committee that could address the treatment of
administrative expenses as part of the five percent payout calculation for private
foundations has been delayed from September 2005 to possibly January 2006 due to
Hurricane Katrina.
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.
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 1 percent of the foundation's net investment income. Private

�foundations are the only 50I(c)(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax. The
current fommla is difficult to administer and can limit charitable giving.
Simplification to a flat one percent is an acceptable intermediate step and enjoys bipartisan support in the House and the Senate. However, simplification is not in the
current Senate version of the CARE Ad. The Charitable Reform legislation
expected from the Senate Finance Committee could include a flat one percent excise
tax for those foundations that payout at least 6%.
5.

Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and
repeal the three percent t1oor 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 permanent.

6.

Goal: Limit lineal descendants who are "disqualified persons" at the level of
grandchildren.
Explanation: In 1984, the law was amended to limit "disqualified persons" to
substantial contributors to a foundation and their children, grandchildren, great
grandchildren, and their spouses. The amendment provided that substantial contributors
will no longer be considered "disqualified persons" if, over a ten-year period, they meet
certain requirements to distance themselves from the foundation. However, there is still
no logical rationale - - or examples of abuse- - to justify the inclusion of lineal
descendants beyond the level of grandchildren.

7.

Goal: Modify the law to permit the "out of corpus" requirement to be met by a foreign
grantee if sufficient documentation is provided showing that the full amount of the grant
was spent for the specified purposes within 12 months after the year the grant was made.
Explanation: When making grants to some foreign charities, private foundations are
required to treat them as private foundations. Any grant from a private foundation to
another private foundation requires that the amount granted "flow through" the grantee
and out as qualifying distributions that are made "out of corpus" by the end of the
following year. The purpose for this rule is to prevent a foundation from avoiding the
payout rule by having one private foundation give to another, who then simply adds the
grant to its endowment (corpus), with charitable grantees receiving no benefit. In the
foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment and totally misunderstands
the concept of "out of corpus."

8.

Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers.
Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form that permits itemized
deductions; instead they file the short fon11 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 I, 1987.

*Bolded text signifies 2005 update.
Page 4

�The Senate Fiscal Agency has evaluated the cost of the non-itemizer 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 non-support for this issue. President Bush has
dropped the charitable non-itemizer from his proposed budget for 2006- the first
time since he has been President that it has not been included. The non itemizer is in
the Senate version of the CARE Act (S6, Section 301) and was introduced in new
bills on September 29, 2005 in both the House and Senate. Luke warm support by
Republicans and Democrats for this issue may be strengthened as a result of efforts
to stimulate charitable giving to address Hurricane Katrina rebuilding efforts.
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 monitoring is essential to oppose unreasonable and
unnecessary regulatory reporting burdens on both foundations and their grantees. For
example, despite the efforts of the nonprofit sector led by Independent Sector (IS),
the Appeals Court has disallowed the ruling of the Federal Election Commission
exempting 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations as political committees. This means the
Commission will need to start again in dealing with this issue.
Independent Sector (IS), on behalf of foundations and public charity nonprofits, has taken
the position that 50 I (c )(3) and 501 (c)(4) organizations should not 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. IS makes the
following points:
•
•

•

•

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 patty) and other nonpartisan communications. It
should not 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 ifthey 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 unre lated 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 continues to receive bi-partisan support in both the House and Senate. The
President even discussed it when presenting his budget. The IRA Rollover is currently
in S6, Section 302, and has been introduced as a stand alone in S1366 and HR 1607.
CMF recently met with Congressmen Camp and Levin to discuss their support for
HR 1607. Since Hurricane Katrina occurred, the IRA Charitable Rollover has been
included in bills introduced by both the House and Senate along with other options
to spur charitable giving to meet the direct needs of victims.

12 .

Goal: A void 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
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 has again introduced HR 543 to impose additional
reporting requirements on corporate giiving programs, but the legislation is again
not expected to make it out of Committee.

13.

Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 2001 on creation of new
foundations and gifts to existing foundations.

* Bolded text signifies 2005 update.
Page 6

�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.
President Bush has indicated that it is a priority to make repeal of the estate tax
permanent. It is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office in a July 2004 Report
titles Charitable Bequests and the Repeal ofthe Estate Tax, that full repeal of the estate
tax would mmually cost the nonprofit sector $17 billion in charitable bequests. HR 8 bas
been passed by the House and a Senate vote scheduled for September 6 has been
delayed due to Hurricane Katrina. Senator Kyl of Arizona is promoting a
compromise that would have an exemption rate in the range of $3.5 million to $10
million and a tax rate of 15% .
Independent Sector (IS) supports a compromise of an exemption rate of $3.5 million
for an individual and a 35% tax rate. At this rate it is believed that nearly all family
farms and family-owned businesses would be exempt from the estate tax. T he estate
tax would only apply to 0.3 percent of Americans as opposed to only 2 percent of
estates today. The Congressional Budget Office further estimates in a July 2005
Report titled Effects ofthe Federal Estate Tax on Farms and Small Businesses, that
the IS position would decrease charitable giving by about 3 percent or $7.4 billion as
opposed to $17 billion with total 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.

15.

Goal: Support legislation requiring a five percent payout for Donor Advised Funds.
Explanation: The Charitable Reform Legislation expected in this session of Congress
will likely require a five percent payout requirement on Donor Advised Funds similar to
that required of private foundations. The legislation would define Donor Advised Funds
as public charities that primm·ily 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
Fidelity Gift Fund never make a charitable distribution. Because the five percent payout
is recommended by both Michigan and national standards for community foundations,
CMF supp01ts such legislation. The National Panel convened by IS at the request of
the Senate Finance Committee has recommended this payout requirement for

�Donor Advised Funds in its final Report presented on June 22, 2005 to Senator
Grassley, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee.
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 Form are inadequate in their current formats. A review of30 990PF
returns by CMF staff in January 2004 confirmed the problems filers are having with the
current forms.
Dave Lindberg, CMF Vice President for Finance, is participating in a 990 P F
Reform Advisory Committee convened by Independent Sector, that intends to have
recommendations to the IRS for a new Form 990PF by the end of 2005.

17.

Goal: Support efforts to limit tax shelters in which charities receive little or no
benefit.
Explanation: The Senate Finance Committee has identified through Hearings held
in 2004 and 2005, examples of tax shelters providing little benefit to charity. As a
result Senator Grassley has introduced S 993 to place excise taxes on insurance
contracts in which certain exempt organizations may hold an interest. This Bill is
being supported by the Council on Foundations and IS. The CMF Board of Trustees
approved support for this Bill at its June 2005 Meeting.

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.

* Bolded text signifies 2005 update.
Page 8

�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% ofthe industry, is $8.3
billion. The master settlement agreement does not specify how states may spend their
settlement payments. Since 200 1, 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
community foundations play in this distribution and continues the annual budgeting
allocation. Because of the State's financial budget problems, no funds were appropriated
for this effort in 2004 and 2005. Discussions are ongoing with the Administration about
receiving an allocation from the Healthy Michigan Fund for 2006 or from the State's
increased tobacco tax in 2006.
However, legislation in September 2005 with the Governor's support is expected to
pass for securitization of $1 billion of future tobacco settlement revenues for
creation of an economic development fund. As a result future annual tobacco
settlement payments will be reduced greatly. Thus the future viability of
reactivating this Partnership in 2007 or beyond using the original Tobacco
Settlement Partnership Agreement is not strong at this time. CMF is currently
preparing a summary report on the use of the funds distributed during the three
year period 2001 to 2003.

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 ammal 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. Senator George is expected to reintroduce this Act now that
negotiations have concluded with the Office of the Attorney General. The top NEW
fee for this license will be $250 for an organization with annual revenues exceeding
$5 million.

5.

Goal: To monitor administration of the pennanent 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

* Bolded text signifies 2005 update.
Page 9

�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 Council to
the Charitable Trust Section, led by his Deputy Attorney General Gary Gordon. CMF has
three representatives on the Council, which is considered a national model and is now
being replicated by other Attorneys General. The Committee meets three times a year
and assists 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 and
examples of unfavorable state legislation initiated by attorneys general. Led by CMF,
the Council has approved a two page document titled Top Ten Frequently Asked
Questions for Newly Created Charitable Nonprofit Corporations that will be
provided by the Corporations Division in the Department of Labor and Economic
Growth to any new nonprofit having its Articles of Incorporation certified.

7.

Goal: To support revisions to the Nonprofit Corporation Act
Explanation: There have been no major amendments to the Act since it was adopted
in 1982. Suggested changes to the Act include:
• To allow nonprofits to have members vote by mail, fax or email,
• To increase the number of required board members from one to three (a
recommendation of The National Panel's Final Report to the Senate Finance
Committee),
• To provide the same liability protection to those serving on nonprofit boards
as to those serving on the board of a business corporation, and
• To require all personal loans to employees, board members and volunteers
be reviewed by the state.
The State Bar Association is leading the redrafting process for this bill with
introduction of legislation expected in the fall of 2005.

�TOP TEN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FOR NEWLY CREATED CHARITABLE NONPR OFIT CORPORATIONS
1. Does the corporation need to apply for tax-exempt status with the feder al government?
Yes, usually all but the smallest corporations must apply for Section 501 (c)(3) status. This can be done by completing
and filing Form 1023 with the IRS, a copy of which can be obtained from the IRS website at www.irs.gov (search for
" I 023" in Forms and Publications). The form needs to include a copy of the articles of incorporation and board approved
bylaws for the corporation. Corporations with gross annual receipts of normally less than $5,000 are not required to file
Form I 023 ; however, these corporations may choose to apply in order to receive a determination letter confirming their
Section 50 I ( c)(3) status. The corporation is not required to separately apply for tax exempt status from the State of
Michigan.

2. Ar e contributions to the corporation tax-deductible?
Yes, if the corporation has applied for and obtains an IRS determination letter confirming Section 50 I ( c)(3) status as a
charitable organizations. Generally, a donor' s contributions to charitable organizations are deductible on their federal
income tax return. But the specific deductibility rules vary depending on whether the corporation is a public charity or a
private foundation. The corporation must also provide donors with contribution substantiation letters or receipts that meet
IRS requirements. (Go to www.irs.gov and search for "1771" in Forms and Publications.)

3. What are the annual filing/reporting requirements with the federal government?
lfthe corporation's gross annual receipts total more than $25,000, then it must file Form 990 with the Internal Revenue
Service by the 15'h day of the 5'h month after the accounting period ends (e.g. May 15 if your fiscal year is the calendar
year). Private foundations must file Forn1 990-PF regardless of the level of revenue. Forms are available at www.irs.gov
- Search on Forms and Publications for "990."

4. What a re a charitable nonprofit's a nnual filing/reporting requirements with the State Corporation Division and
the State Attorney General?
Each nonprofit corporation must fi le the Corporate Information Update form with the Michigan Department of Labor &amp;
Economic Growth no later than October 1 of each year, along with the $20 filing fee. Organizations should receive the

preprinted form in the mail in mid-August each year. The form is available online at www.michigan.gov/cis. (Click on
"Commercial Services &amp; Corporations" and select Forms andl Publications.) If the corporation intends to solicit donations
or receive contributions of more than $8,000 in Michigan, it will most likely need a license to solicit donations from the
Michigan Attorney General's Charitable Trust Section. The license must be renewed on an annual basis. In addition,
most nonprofit corporations holding property for a charitable purpose (even if they do not solicit donations) are required
to register with the Charitable Trust Section and file annual returns. Please visit the Attorney General's website at
www.michigan.gov/ag and click on "Charitable Giving" for additional information and application forms. Corporations
may be subject to other filing/reporting requirements depending on the nature of their activities. Contact the Corporations
Division for additional information.

5. When are audited financial statements required?
lf the corporation is required to have a license to solicit donations in Michigan, and it raises between $100,000 and
$250,000 in a year, then its financial statements must be reviewed by a CPA on an annual basis. If it raises more than
$250,000 in a year, then the financial statements must be audited. (See the form "Application for License to Solicit
Donations" at www.michigan.gov/ag for more information.)

6. Must the cor por ation pay sales and use tax or property taxes?
The corporation is exempt from paying sales and use tax when it purchases tangible personal property (such as office
supplies) for use in furtherance of its exempt charitable purposes. To claim this exemption, a charitable nonprofit shou ld
provide the vendor with the Michigan Sales and Use Tax Cettificate of Exemption, which can be obtained online at
www.michigan.gov/treasury, and a copy of the corporation' s IRS determination letter. If the corporation sells tangible
personal property (regardless of whether such sales are related to its exempt charitable purposes) and its aggregate sales
for the calendar year are more than $5,000, then it is required to collect and remit a 6% sales tax to the State of M ichigan
with the form "Sales, Use and Withholding Taxes Annual Return" available at www.michigan.gov/treasury.
The corporation may also be exempt from real and personal property taxes and it should contact its local assessor's office
for an exempt ion application.

�7. What are the basic roles and responsibilities of the board of directors?
The board determines the corporation's mission, appoints the officers, approves the annual budget, reviews and authorizes
audits, controls investments of the corporation' s funds, is responsible for raising funds and approves major contracts on
behalf of the organization. The board must hold an annual meeting to elect officers and directors, and should also have a
schedule of regular meetings. For all meetings, written minutes must be prepared and kept with the corporate records.
Directors should understand their fiduciary duties of due care, obedience to the organization's charitable purpose, and
loyalty to the corporation. Michigan law allows volunteer directors to be insulated from personal liability in certain
circumstances. The statute is available online at www.legislature.mi.gov. (Click on Michigan Compiled Laws-MCL
Section and search for "450.2209."
8. What are the requirements for Officers?
Under Michigan law, a nonprofit corporation is required to have a President, Secretary and Treasurer. The same person
may hold more than one position but there may be limitations on the officer signing a document in more than one
capacity. The President is generally the chief executive officer and supervises and controls the corporation' s activities
and executes documents on behalf ofthe corporation. The Secretary is responsible for keeping the minutes of board
meetings, maintaining the corporate records and sending notices of meetings. The Treasurer is responsible for the
oversight of receipts, payables, and other items related to the cash flow ofthe corporation and facilitating audits. Officers
may be volunteers or paid staff.
9. Are there limitations on compensating Directors and Officers?
Although the law permits directors to be compensated, it is highly unusual for a public charity to compensate its directors
and fewer than 20% of private foundations compensate board members. The law requires any such compensation to be
reasonable in amount. Public charities are required to follow the IRS intermediate sanction rules in determining
compensation. (See Form 990, Section P.) A private foundation must comply with the IRS self-dealing rules as outlined
in IRS Publication 578, Chapter 8. If more than reasonable compensation is paid in either case, the IRS may impose
penalty taxes. In addition, directors or officers who receive compensation may not qualify for cer1ain liability protections
under state law.
10. Are there reporting requirements concerning conflict of interest?

IRS Form I 023 asks whether a conflict of interest policy bas been adopted by the board similar to the sample policy in
Appendix A of Form 1023. It is recommended that the board adopt a conflict of interest policy, review it on an annual
basis and have each director and officer complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement each year.

�Committee on Ways and Means
H.R. 3768, Katrina Emergency Tax ReliefAct of 2005
House Amendment to Senate Amendment
RELIEF FOR INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY HURRICANE KATRINA
•

Holds families harmless against the loss of tax benefits due to temporary relocations.
Damage caused by the hurricane has displaced hundreds of thousands of individuals, who are
temporarily living with fam ily, friends or good Samaritans. Under current law, a prolonged
change in their living situation could affect their eligibility for various tax benefits. The
proposal allows individuals the option of using their 2004 income to calculate the child credit
and the Earned Income Credit on their 2005 tax returns. This special rule applies to
individuals who were displaced from their principal residence by reason of Hurricane
Katrina. The proposal also grants the U.S. Treasury Department the authority to ensure that
taxpayers do not lose tax benefits or experience a change in filing status in 2005 and 2006
due to temporary relocations.

•

Ensures that families are not taxed on forgiven debt. Under current law, amounts realized
from the discharge of indebtedness are generally treated as taxable income to the individual.
The proposal ensures that individuals affected by the hurricane are not taxed on personal debt
relief related to the hurricane, such as the cancellation of a mortgage, provided before 2007.

•

Provides tax relief for housing assistance to dislocated persons. The proposal creates a
special tax deduction for individuals who provide rent-free housing to dislocated persons for
at least 60 days. The deduction is $500 for each dislocated person housed in the individual ' s
principal residence (up to a maximum of $2,000). The deduction can be claimed in either
2005 or 2006, but cannot be claimed in both years with respect to the same person.

•

Allows full deductibility of personal casualty losses. Under current law, individuals who
itemize their deductions may deduct personal casualty losses to the extent they exceed 10
percent of adjusted gross income and a $100 floor. The proposal waives the 10-percent and
$ 100 floors, thus allowing individuals to fully deduct their losses.

•

Waives 10-percent tax on early distributions from IRAs and pensions for individuals
affected by the hurricane. In general, distributions from IRAs and pensions are subject to a
10-percent penalty if they are made before a certain age. The penalty is intended to
discourage individuals from withdrawing funds that are needed for retirement. To ease the
financial burden faced by many fami lies in the disaster area, the proposal allows eligible
individuals to withdraw a maximum of$100,000 from their IRAs and pensions without
paying the 10-percent penalty. Individuals eligible for the waiver may pay income tax on the
distribution over three years. Income tax is not due if the distribution is repaid to the account
within three years. The proposal also increases the limit on loans from pension plans from
$50,000 to $100,000.

�•

Extends the Work Opportunity Tax C redit. Under current law, employers are allowed to
claim the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) if they hire individuals from certain target
groups who are considered to face barriers to employment. The credit generally equals 40
percent of the first $6,000 of wages paid to the employee in the first year (i.e., the maximum
credit is $2,400). The proposal temporarily creates a new target group under the WOTC,
called Hurricane Katrina employees. The target group is comprised of individuals who, prior
to the hurricane, lived in an area that is now eligible for individual and public assistance
under the Stafford Act.
•
•

Employers located in an area that is d igible for such assistance may claim the WOTC
with respect to Hurricane Katrina employees hired over the next two years.
Employers located outside of this area may claim the WOTC with respect to
Hurricane Katrina employees hired through the end of the 2005 calendar year.

•

Provides an Employee Retention Tax Credit. Small employers located in a disaster area
that is eligible for individual and public assistance under the Stafford Act may claim a tax
credit through the end of the 2005 calendar year if they retain an eligible employee on their
payroll. The tax credit equals 40 percent of the first $6,000 of wages paid to the employee
between August 28, 2005 and January 1, 2006. The credit is available to small employers
(i.e., an average of200 or fewer employees in the taxable year) whose business is inoperable
as a result of damage sustained by Hurricane Katrina. The credit is not affected if the
employee reports to work at another location while the business is inoperable.

•

Provides a longer period of time to replace damaged property without incurring tax.
Under curre nt law, insurance proceeds are not taxable if they are invested in replacem ent

property within two years (with respect to damaged business property) or four years (with
respect to damaged principal residences in Presidentially-declared disaster areas). The
proposal increases the reinvestment period to five years as long as the replacement property
is located within the disaster area.
•

Expands the availability of below-market mortgages in the disaster areas. Under current
law, state and local governments may issue mortgage revenue bonds (MRBs) to finance lowinterest rate mortgages for first-time homebuyers who meet certain income and purchase
price limits. The proposal waives the first-time homebuyer requirement so that individuals
whose homes were rendered uninhabitable by Hurricane Katrina can qualify for these lowinterest rate mortgages through 2007. In addition, the proposal provides that up to $150,000
of the loan proceeds may be used to repair damaged homes. To be eligible, the new home
must be located in the declared disaster area.

EXTENSION OF DEADLINES
•

Extends deadlines for paying excise and employment taxes. The IRS has taken
administrative action to extend the deadlines for filing tax returns and making tax payments
until January 3, 2006. These extensions apply to income, estate and gift taxes for those
affected by Hurricane Katrina. The proposal extends the deadline until February 28, 2006.
The proposal also applies this extension to excise taxes and employment taxes, in addition to
income, estate and gift taxes.

�INCENTIVES FOR CHARITABLE DONATIONS
•

Encourages cash donations by individuals. Under current law, individuals may deduct
charitable donations up to 50 percent of their adjusted gross income. Deductions for
charitable donations are further limited by the phase-out of itemized deductions. Under the
proposal, cash donations to charities are exempt from the 50-percent income limitation and
the phase-out of itemized deductions if the donations are made before January 2006.

•

Encourages cash donations by corporations. Under current law, corporations may deduct
charitable donations up to 10 percent of their taxable income. The proposal waives the 10percent income limitation for cash donations related to Hurricane Katrina if the donations are
made before January 2006.

•

Modifies tax treatment when using a personal vehicle for charitable work. Under
current law, individuals may claim a tax deduction for the costs associated with using a
personal vehicle for charitable work. The deduction is calculated by using a mileage
reimbursement rate of 14 cents-per-mile. The reimbursement rate for business use is set
periodically through IRS guidance and currently stands at 48.5 cents-per-mile. The proposal
sets the mileage reimbursement rate for charitable contributions at 70 percent of the standard
business mileage rate. If the individual is a volunteer and is reimbursed for the use of the
personal vehicle, the proposal ensures that the individual does not have to pay income tax on
the reimbursement. Both provisions are effective through December 31, 2006.

•

Encourages charitable donations of food inventory. Under current law, C-corporations
may deduct the cost of food inventory donations. The value of the deduction is equal to the
lesser of two times the basis or basis plus one-half of the added value. The proposal extends
the current-law deduction for food donations to S-corporations, partnerships and sole
proprietors through the end of the 2005 calendar year.

•

Encourages donations of educational books to public schools. The proposal allows a
charitable deduction through the end of the 2005 calendar year for donations of educational
books to public schools. The value of the deduction is equal to the lesser of two times the
basis or basis plus one-half of the added value.

�BACKGROUND
•

On September 15, 2005, the House passed H.R. 3768, the Katrina Emergency Tax ReliefAct
of2005, by voice vote.

•

The Senate passed S. 1696, the Hurricane Katrina Tax Relief Act of2005, by Unanimous
Consent on the same day. Later in the day, the Senate called up H.R. 3768 and amended it
with a modified version of S. 1696. The modifications helped bring the House and Senate
versions of the bill into conformity. The Senate amendment passed by UC.

•

The House is further amending H.R. 3768 to resolve the remaining differences between the
House and Senate bills. The House Amendment makes the following changes to H.R. 3768,
as passed by the House on September 15:
1. Adopts the Senate provision to extend excise and employment tax deadlines through
Febmary 28, 2006.
2. Adopts the Senate provision that ensures volunteers will not be taxed if they are
reimbursed for use of personal vehicle for charitable work.
3. Extends the enhanced charitable deduction for individual cash donations so that it
applies to cash donations made to all charities, not just charities related to Hurricane
Katrina.
4. Adopts the Senate provision that allows up to $150,000 of mortgage revenue bond
proceeds to be used to repair homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
5. Expands the WOTC credit so that employers outside of the designated disaster area
may claim the credit for eligible individuals hired through the end of2005.
6. Adopts a modified version of the Senate provision for an employee retention tax
credit. The modified provision applies to small employers with respect to individuals
whose primary place of employment prior to the hurricane was in the disaster area .
7. Adopts a modified version of the Senate provision relating to charitable donations of
food inventory. The modified provision extends the current-law deduction to Scorporations, partnerships and sole proprietors.
8. Adopts a modified version of the Senate provision relating to charitable donations of
books. The modified provision allows a tax deduction for educational books donated
to public schools.

•

These changes reflect a bipartisan agreement between the House and Senate. It is expected
that the Senate will pass H.R. 3768, as amended by the House, pursuant to this agreement.

                    <text>Status of IDA Activity in Michigan
Fact Sheet September 2005
IDA (Individual Development Account) activity is exploding in Michigan. The Michigan IDA Partnership
(MIDAP), a partnership between the Michigan Family Independence Agency and the Council of Michigan
Foundations, has created a statewide program with over 1600 IDA Accounts available. IDAs help working
poor families save toward their household dream of buying a home, attaining post-secondary education, or
starting a small business. Since 2001 Michigan bas:
)&gt;
)&gt;
)&gt;
)&gt;

Established 5 IDA Program Regional Networks to reach a statewide goal of2000 IDA Accounts
Increased the number of available IDA Accounts in Michigan from 50 to 1600
Expanded the number of IDA Program Sites from 5 to 50
Over 1263 open/active accountholders saving toward their IDA Asset Goal.

OUTCOMES:
)&gt; The Independent Evaluation Report through Year Three of the project found:
The typical IDA Participant is a 33-year-old unmarried African-American woman with some college
education, a full-time job, a monthly household income of about $1,700 ($20,000 annually), and two
children living at home. Nearly 80% of all participants plan to pmchase a home, 10% intend to use their
account for a business, and 10% for education.
• Regular savings by participants went from 25 to 71 percent, and 87 percent report they expect to save
regularly in the future.
• 99 percent have been affected positively by being in their IDA Program and 84% believe the financial
management education classes have helped them save.
• 90 percent are more aware of their credit rating. Families showed, on average, a 12% to 23%
increase in their credit score depending on the credit score source.
• 83 percent report they are more likely to work or stay employed since opening their IDA
* Full evaluation reports are available online at http://www.cmif.org/IDA/IDAEvaluation.htm
)&gt;

Through September 30, 2005, 643 IDA Participants have made an asset investment (438 homes
purchased, 124 education account uses and 81 business accounts uses). The mortgages leveraged to date
exceed $37 million (see charts on back).

)&gt;

Leveraged $3 million in private sector funding, $4 million from the state of Michigan (including FIA
and MSHDA funds) and $2 million in Federal Assets for Independence Act funding (All 5 Regional
Coordinating Organizations (RCOs) have received AFIA support).

IDA Policy to Continue Growth:
)&gt; Develop annual State Support for IDA Accounts through FIA and MSHDA existing budgets.
)&gt; Reauthorization of the Assets for Independence Act with recommended changes (federal).
)&gt; Passage of the Saving for Working Families Act (federal).

�Summary of a New CMF Partnership
The Asset Building Policy Project (ABPP) at the
Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM)
Purpose: The Asset Building Policy Project (ABPP) will articulate a comprehensive set
of policy and tools to help low-income working families to build assets and achieve a
more secure financial future.
Next Phase of MIDAP: The ABPP is the next phase of the work of the Michigan IDA
Partnership. The ABPP will be housed at CEDAM, a statewide association of
community economic development organizations in Michigan. CEDAM is a new key
partner with CMF in this effort. Over the next year MIDAP will continue to transition
key roles it has played related to IDAs to the five Regional Coordinating Organizations in
Michigan. As MIDAP ends on September 30, 2006, a key role that will live on through
the ABPP will be educating and advocating for public policy related to Asset Building.
Progress of the ABPP to Date:
&gt;- December 2004; MIDAP's Public Policy workgroup outlined a plan to enhance
MIDAPs efforts related to influencing public policy and expanding the scope of its
work beyond IDAs to broader Asset Building Policy.
&gt;- May 2005; CEDAM, CMF, and MIDAP convened the Asset Building Coalition
(ABC) for Michigan to develop a report to highlight existing and create new policy
options with the greatest potential to help working poor households build assets
toward becoming more financially secure.
&gt;- June to September 2005; 45 offices and organizations representing bi-partisan
legislators, state departments, and key non-for-profit organizations met over the
summer to research and develop the ABPP report on potential Asset Building Policy.
&gt;- October 2005: The Partnership between CMF and CEDAM formalized.
Funding and Support:
&gt;- The project has quickly received strong support from other policy advocates and
funders. Over the summer a total of $300,000 was raised providing resources to fully
fund the first two years of the ABPP with additional resources available in years 3-5.
Key sources of funding are the C.S. Mott Foundation (through CMF), CFED, and the
Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).
Policy Direction (draft as the ABPP report is completed for November release):
The ABPP will pursue public policy and tools that help working poor families, 24% of
households in Michigan, build financial assets and achieve a more secure financial future
for themselves and their children by enacting policies that:
&gt;- Encourage families value, participate and complete higher education &amp; skill training
&gt;- Helps families working, but in poverty leverage their limited resources
&gt;- Encourages families to save and invest in their future
&gt;- Enables families to build financial security through the ownership of assets
Project Director:
The ABPP will be lead by Eric Muschler who will increase his time on policy efforts
with CEDAM (75% FTE) and continue with MIDAP over the next year to complete role
transfers to regional coordinators (25% FTE) and close that office.

Memo to:

Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Lloyd J. Yeo, Executive Committee Member

RE:

Resolution for President to Execute Contracts on Behalf of CMF and its
Supporting Organizations

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees adopt the following resolution as
approved by the CMF Executive Committee.
The President &amp; Chief Executive Officer is authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver on behalf of CMF and its supporting organizations, such printed resolutions
deemed necessary to enter into contracts or agreements on behalf of the various
corporations, so long as those contracts or agreements fall within current budget
constraints as approved by the CMF Board of Trustees.
Background
The President and CEO position ofCMF has been designated as the person authorized to sign
all necessary contracts and agreements that may be necessary to carry on the operations of
CMF and the various supporting organizations. Occasionally a contract or agreement
requires that a resolution of the Board be adopted authorizing the President &amp; CEO to sign
such document. To prevent delays in these transactions, management recommended and the
Executive Committee adopted this standing resolution, as recommended by CMF legal
counsel, Clark Hill.

To:

S. Martin Taylor, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, President

Re:

President's Report

I have asked three staff members to provide updates on important activities:
• Susan Howbert on the Family Foundations Retreat in June
• Eric Muschler on the transition of the Michigan IDA Partnership to the Asset
Building Policy Project at CEDAM, and
• Gail Powers-Schaub on the Katrina Relief effort
I will respond to questions you may have on any of the items summarized below.
I. Staff &amp; Special Notes

Pam Bitzer, Receptionist and Office Manager, resigned this month. While sorry to see her
leave, we are pleased to have secured the services ofPaula DeWitt with 15 years ofHR
experience as a temporary replacement until the Conference concludes.
Kari Pardoe resigned in July to take a position with the Pistons-Palace Foundation (the
ultimate in member service on CMF's part).Mike Goorhouse, sophomore at Calvin College
and Mawby Intern this past summer has agreed to serve as Program Associate for Youth
Philanthropy on a part-time basis. Chris Kooyer, YAC Advisor for the Grand Rapids
Community Foundation, has agreed to assist Mike by working with the Advisor Roundtables
and making site visits to YACs in western Michigan. They will both be involved in
producing the Regional Trainings later in October- so it has taken two people at least to
replace Kari!
Vicki Rosenberg has been appointed to the Board of the Communications Network, currently
chaired by Karen Lake, Vice President Communications at the W .K. Kellogg Foundation.
Three Special Notes on Trustees:
Ted Doan is being honored by the University of Michigan on October 26 for a lifetime of
innovation and service to the State of Michigan.
Libby Maynard is being inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame later this month,
and
Diana Sieger was featured in The Grand Rapids Press on Sunday September 25, 2005 in a
Community Profile, titled PERFECT PITCH.
Special thanks to Trustee Carol Goss, president of the Skillman Foundation, and her Board of
Trustees for a three year grant of $75,000 to help with rent for our Detroit based staff at the
new Skillman offices. This grant award will be of great assistance in our budget balancing
efforts in 2006-07.

Michigan Association of United Ways- Hurricane Relief
CMF partnered with the Michigan Association of United Ways to establish a special needs
fund that is being used to assist hurricane evacuees relocate in Michigan cities. Over 3,000
evacuees have relocated to Michigan cities as large as Detroit and as small as South Haven.
Many of these individuals and families have arrived with little more than the clothes they
were wearing. While most of these evacuees are receiving assistance from FEMA and the
state of Michigan, many have needs beyond what these public resources will help with. This
partnership, with support from: the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, The Kresge
Foundation, The Skillman Foundation, the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, The Frey
Foundation, and the Ruth Mott Foundation, has resulted in a special needs relief fund of
$230,000 that is being accessed by Michigan Department of Human Services caseworkers
and community nonprofit relief agencies throughout Michigan. To date, over $10,000 worth
of special needs have been met through this fund. Special needs have included deposits for
rent, special transportation assistance, school supplies, and prescriptions. This public/private
approach to meeting special needs of these displaced families will help to alleviate gaps in
services and provide a tremendous boost to these families who are having to start their lives
all over again.
CMF members have been, as is usual, overwhelmingly generous in this time of national
disaster. To date, we have heard from 38 Michigan foundations, all CMF members, who are
providing cash, in-kind, matching and volunteer gifts to assist in Hurricane Katrina relief.
June 14 &amp; 15, Nonprofit SuperConfer·ence- Dearborn

Re:

Recommendation to Change Retirement Plan Providers

RESOVED that a change in CMF's retirement plan provider from Mutual of
America to Comerica, as recommended by the CMF Audit Committee, be approved.
Background
CMF has a practice of reviewing retirement plan provider options approximately every
five years as part of our ongoing due diligence. Over the last ten months an analysis has
been conducted of various retirement plan providers in the following categories:
Insurance Companies
Met Life
Mutual of America
Banks
Fifth Third
Comerica
Investment Firms
Smith Bamey
Other
TIAACREF
What we found out:
• Level and types of services are pretty similar across the board.
• Mutual of America, Met Life and TIAA CREF offer annuity products (versus
mutual funds by the other providers), which are typically run by a major
investment manager (Vanguard, Fidelity etc.), but with less stringent reporting
requirements since these funds are not available to the general public. While they
do report management fees in their prospectus the fees generally tend to be higher
than the other providers.
• There is a difference between providers who charged a higher up front annual fee
to the employers and those that waived this fee, but seem to have them buried in
the fees charged directly to the different funds.
• # of investment options recommended by the various providers is generally in the
16-20 fund range.

Banks and investment firms for the most part allow you to add almost any fund
offered by investment managers available to the general public, with a
recommended list provided. The insurance companies and TIAA CREF either
manage funds with in-house investment managers or select the third part
managers who manage funds that are only available to their clients. Under this
scenario changes in options only come about through a committee structure
established by the insurance company.
All providers handle revising plan documents to meet any changes in the IRS
regulations.
All providers either do the discrimination testing or provide software for CMF
staff to do this.
All monitor employee deferrals to make sure they do not exceed the maximum
limit.

In the final analysis the plan provider options came down to CMF's current provider,
Mutual of America, or Comerica, with a recommendation to switch to Comerica for the
following reasons.
•
•
•
•
•

Current list of Investment options includes 18 different managers, including
Fidelity, Janus, Munder, Putnam and Van Kampen.
If a fund under perfom1s, CMF management, with recommendation from the
Comerica advisor, can change the investment options.
In a comparison of investment returns the Comerica fund options typically out
perfonned the Mutual of America options by 1%-3% annually.
Administrative and employee related services by both providers are comparable.
Comerica has converted over 550 plans in the last several years.

Re:

Creation of The William C. Richardson Endowment for Public Policy

I am pleased to present the fo llowing resolution for consideration, along with exciting news of
partnership with the Knight Wallace Fellows Program at the University of Michigan.
Whereas Dr. William C. Richardson has served for ten years as President and CEO of the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation and will be retiring on December 31, 2005, and
Whereas Dr. Richardson has served as a Trustee of the Council of Michigan Foundations
(CMF) for nine years during this time, and
Whereas Dr. Richardson has been an active member of CMF's Government Relations
Committee and led the annual Foundations on the Hill visits to Washington with members
of Michigan' s Congressional Delegation, and
Whereas Dr. Richardson has encouraged the development of CMF's Public Policy
Committee and the engagement of the Public Policy Fellow- the first position of this type
with a regional association of grantmakers in the country, and
Whereas Dr. Richardson has promoted the role of CMF and philanthropy in Michigan on
a national level through his leadership as: Trustee and Chair of the Council on
Foundations, member of the National Panel convened by Independent Sector, member and
Chair of the Foundation Strategy Group, and member and Chair of the Aspen Institute's
Mid America Foundation Group,
Now therefore be it RESOLVED that the William C. Richardson Endowment Fund for
Public Policy (Fund) be created in recognition of Dr. Richardson' s service to philanthropy
in Michigan and his leadership in advancing tihe engagement of philanthropy in public
policy with the purpose of this Fund to support the ongoing involvement in an
intern/fellowship role at CMF by students from Michigan colleges or universities, who are
interested in careers involving the nonprofit sector and public policy.
Resolved further, that the Board of Trustees of CMF extends its appreciation to Dr.
Richardson and theW. K. Kellogg Foundation for a leadership gift of $400,000 to create
this Endowed Fund and welcome additional contributions to the Fund by members who
share Dr. Richardson's commitment to philanthropy and public policy.

Background
We have received a verbal commitment from Bill Richardson on this gift. He understands that
our goal is to announce creation of the Fund as part of the closing plenary session when he is
with us on Wednesday, October 12. He is particularly pleased with the success ofCMF's Public
Policy Fellow program and considers creation of this Fund an impottant step to insure our ability
to continue this effort. The revenue from this Fund will be complimented by income from the
Ranny Riecker Leadership Fund at CMF that is currently used to support the position of Public
Policy Associate.

In addition, Charles Eisendrath, director of the Knight-Wallace Fellows Program at the
University of Michigan, will join us at the Closing plenary to announce creation of the
William C. Richardson Fellowship on Public Policy and Philanthropy. Creation ofthis
Fellowship, the first of its type in the nation is made possible by our ability to seize an
oppottunity- in this case a one million dollar challenge with a due date of October 1, 2005. As a
result of a leadership gift from Dr. Richardson and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, along with
commitments from the following foundations and individuals, one million dollars has been
committed to match the one million dollars from the JohnS. and James L. Knight Foundation to
create a pennanent endowment for this Fellowship.

While the tight time frame has not allowed for a broad solicitation for this endowment, the
Knight-Wallace Fellows Program at the University of Michigan welcomes additional gifts
earmarked for this Fellowship. As detailed in the following summary, the national journalist
selected for this Fellowship will have an advisor from the Ford School for Public Policy and will
spend two weeks during the Fellowship engaged in activities with CMF. Creation of this
Fellowship will strengthen Michigan's leadership in our field and support efforts to also
strengthen our work with the media

The William C. Richardson Fellowship for Public Policy and Philanthropy
Part of the Knight-Wallace Fellows at the University of Michigan, this Fellowship provides an
outstanding mid-career professional from a national media outlet with the opportunity for a
sabbatical year of study and reflection on Public Policy and Philanthropy - the first Fellowship of
this type known in the country.

With Michigan home to three of the largest private foundations and the largest regional
association of grantmakers in the world - the Council of Michigan Foundations, and the Gerald
Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan, this Fellowship offers a unique
oppottunity to explore philanthropy' s impact on the public, private and nonprofit sectors with
access from September to April to the expanse of scholarship available at a world-class
university.
To help find resources and courses most closely related to this focus, the Fellow will be assigned
a faculty advisor from the Ford School of Public Policy. A typical study pattern mixes course
work with informal tutorials arranged with individual faculty members. In addition, the
Richardson Fellow will spend two weeks with the Council of Michigan Foundations during the
course of the Fellowship.
The Fellowship is designed to broaden perspectives, nurture intellectual growth and inspire
personal transfornmtion. The subject matter agreed upon may directly relate to professional
assignments, be totally different or a combination of the two. Additionally, the Fellow will join
the Fellowship Group in twice weekly seminars given by prominent journalists and leading
academics as well as group travel to Toronto, Chicago, Buenos Aires and Istanbul.
A stipend of $55,000 plus all tuition and fees is available as a result of a two million dollar
endowment, funded by a lead gift of $400,000 from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in honor of
William C. Richardson, Foundation President from 1995 to 2006. It is matched with $600,000
from other Michigan foundations, individual donors and the University to leverage one million
dollars from the JohnS. and James L. Knight Foundation.

This Fellowship is targeted for a fulltime U.S. journalists (print, broadcast, photo, film and
Internet) with five years ' experience, operating at the national level, whose work appears
regularly as an employee or freelance, who must obtain a leave of absence, agree not to publish
or broadcast during the Fellowship, to return to their place of employment, maintain Ann Arbor
residency and attend all Fellowship activities.
Knight-Wallace Fellows are selected on the basis of past performance, future promise and
leadership in some aspect of journalism by a committee of faculty and professionals. Care is
taken to assemble classes of Fellows that mix the type and size of news organizations as well as
personality, geography and background. Typically 12 Americans are joined by four to six
international colleagues.

�HONORARY CHAIR

Shaping the Future of Kalamazoo- A Tribute to Dr. W.E. Upjohn

When "Dr. Will" died in 1932, he was eulogized as being Kalamazoo's First Citizen and greatest
philanthropist. That honor came his way not only because of the economic stability his company
provided but also because of the cultural and recreational assets the community enjoyed through
his enlightened generosity.
As his philanthropy illustrated, the quality and creative use of leisure meant better employees, more
productivity and a healthy cultural climate. He fed the community's cultural appetite because he
understood the role of the arts in stimulating creativity and intellectualism. His vision and care for
his community lives on today in initiatives started nearly 100 years ago, such as:
• Donating 17 acres in 1912 to become what is now Upjohn Park
• Seeding the Kalamazoo Community Foundation with a gift of $1,000 in 1925, and then leaving one
third of his estate to the Foundation, recently estimated at more than $70 million or one quarter of
the Foundation's assets
• Providing the first home for the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts in 1929
• Building the Civic Auditorium in 1931 with an endowment for The Civic Players
• As President of the Kalamazoo Hospital Association, spearheading what became Bronson Hospita l
• Creating the W.E. Upjohn Unemployment Trustee Corp to study methods of insuring against
unemployment that became in 1945 the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Researcha current CMF member.
William Earastus Upjohn truly got involved in Kalamazoo. One family observer has commented, "The thing
he stressed about himself was that he had been given his vast wealth as a stewardship. He truly be lieved
that God had given him a great deal of wealth to use to help other people." And he passed his ph ilanthro
perspectives on to his children and their children .
Dr. Upjohn's legacy of philanthropy for the Kalamazoo area continues today through a number
of family, private and operating foundations:
• Dorothy U. Dalton Foundation
• Harold and Grace Upjohn Foundation
• Irving S. Gilmore Foundation
• Genevieve and Donald Gilmore Foundation
• Donald and Ann Parfet Foundation
• Suzanne Upjohn Delano Parish Foundation
as well as through the Kalamazoo Community Foundation and several of it's donor advised and other
charitable funds.
Therefore, it is resolved that the Board ofTrustees of the Council of Michigan Foundations com mends
the vision of Dr. W.E. Upjohn and extends its appreciation to his many descendants who continue to
demonstrate "his commitment to community philanthropy."

Join Bill Ryan, co-author of Board Source's new book
Governance as Leadership: Reframing the Work of
Nonprofit Boards, for this special workshop on the what,

why and how of a promising new approach to
governance. In place of 'micro-governing' which
increasingly confines boards to marginal work, he
reframes governance as a form of leadership. This shift
offers board members more mean ingful and
consequential work- and nonprofit organizations
the benefits of an engaged, value-adding board.

�Michigan Community Foundations -Examples of the most important leadership role designated
by each community foundation
Involvement in community planning for the future. Executive Director
serves as Chair of our Youth Development Coalition. That body led the
process of developing a long range blueprint for youth development and
now guides and monitors the implementation.
Allegan County
Stimulating public/private partnership. Creation ofthe West Michigan
Cultural Trails non-profit group beginning with the sponsorship by the
Community Foundation
Allegan County Community Foundation of 30 county wide community
leaders to the Small Town Conference in October of2005. The foundation
was the one organization that could pull the different community
representatives together to talk about the good of Allegan County versus
the good of individual communities. Many people commented that this
wouldn't have happened if the city government, chamber of commerce or
any other organization had tried it.

Foundation
celebration of our 1Oth anniversary, the board of BCF provided a
$10,000.00 "pot" for communities to apply for a grant that would make
lasting and visible improvement, and involve many volunteers on the Day
of Caring.
We funded 9 different projects in every one of the communities in Barry
County that assisted them in leveraging 3 times that amount of money
from local government, state government and other foundations. It also
brought together over 300 volunteers to make a lasting difference. In fact,
it was so successful, that our grant committee now accepts these grants
each spring.
Battle Creek Community Stimulating public/private partnership. In partnership with a local
Foundation
development firm, BCCF was able to work with a local
businessman/donor (to BCCF) to secure single largest building targeted for
downtown housing through a charitable gift unity tool. BCCF passed
property directly to an economic development organization and developed
the contract for unity payments while the housing project is under
development. BCCF assisted in securing a third property for the
downtown housing development after all gifting options were exercised.
The direct sale of property was negotiated with BCCF. As a result of the
trust developed with the property owner, BCCF was able to negotiate the
conditional sale ofbuilding and pass ownership onto economic
development firm. BCCF's role in assisting in securing two of the three
properties now being developed for downtown housing in Battle Creek
was essential in achieving the goals of the downtown housing project.

Responding to community emergencies- In 2005, The Saginaw
Community Foundation's initiatives were recreation and economic
development through arts, culture. Last summer, the city took away the
remaining dollars for recreation, so the foundation worked with other
community leaders to address the issue by raising money for recreational
programs or assisting those organizations that provide those services.
MSHDA granted the Saginaw Community Foundation $150,000 to give
back to the community, so we distributed an RFP to specific arts &amp; culture

community foundations regular communications appealing to the
community to help do good forever planning for the future is the major
underlying theme. The grant award process also certainly helps to
emphasize this very important concept.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Phillip H. Peters, Chair Audit &amp; Finance Committee
Dav id R. Lindberg

RE:

CMF 2006-07 Budget

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the 2006-07 CMF Core Services
and Endowment Funds Budget as recommended by the CMF Executive and Audit &amp;
Finance Committees.

Items to note:
With the WKKF IV grant coming to an end on 3-31-06, 2006-07 will be the first year that
CMF uses the Community Foundation Endowment Fund to support technical assistance to
community foundation members. The fund which has a balance of approximately
$7,700,000 as of 12-31-05, was established from the interest earnings on the Kellogg
Challenge Grant dollars for community foundations that ran through CMF in the 1990s.
This change in funding for community foundation services has caused a shift in some
expenses back to the CMF Core Services budget. For comparative purposes the main portion
of the budget presentation will focus in the combined results of the WKKF IV grant and
CMF Cores Services.

CMF Core/Community Foundation Services
Revenue
Note 1: Spendable Income
Income available for spending for the various endowment funds is base on a 5% spending
policy using a 20 quarter rolling average of the investment balance of each fund.

�Budget Memo

Note 2: Membership Investment
Based on payments received through 12-31-05 it appears membership will total $921 ,000 for
2005-06.
For 2006-07 the following changes are budgeted:
Catch up on underpayments
Increase in asset levels of members
New members
Lost members

$5,000
10,000
10,000
(4,500)

When the latest membership investment increase was instituted in 2004-05 a few foundations
elected to work up to the increase over a couple of years. The catch-up on underpayments
would take this group into account plus other members that have been underpaying as a
general practice.
Due to the tightening of asset categories (which is how dues are calculated for the majority of
our members) we're seeing an increasing number of members jump to a higher dues category
as their asset increase due investment earnings and new contributions for the community
foundations. Overall we have projected members assets to increase 5% for the year ending
12-3 1-05, which will be the basis for their 2006-07 membership investment payment.
Note 3: Additional Member Contributions
The bulk of this category includes the following anticipated major contributions.
W.K. Kellogg Foundation
C.S. Mott Foundation

$150,000
30,000

In November 2005 CMF received a 5-year $150,000/yr grant from Kellogg to continue their

Expenses
Note 8: Wages &amp; Benefits
Overall we have budgeted a 4% wage increase for 2006-07. Based on the changes noted
below CMF will be reducing staff by 1.5 FTE in 2006-07 from our current level, and since
fiscal year 2001-02, CMF will have reduced staff from 19.4 FTE to 14.8 FTE.

•

With the recent departure of the Office Manager, the part-time Office Assistant and
Office Manager positions are budgeted to be consolidated into a one FTE job share
position, reducing staff by .5 FTE.
With the Director of Knowledge Management position being vacated in February
2006, existing staff that we anticipate will be freed up from special projects which are
starting to wind down (MIDAP and LTG), w ill cover this work. One staff member
has a Masters Degree in L ibrary Science and the other is the Director of Membership
and Special Projects.

Overall Wages &amp; Benefits are budgeted to increase slightly due to the follow:
• 4% wage increase
• Filling the Communications Specialist position that has been vacant since April 2005.
• Reduction in staff time devoted to special projects.

The condo association which houses the Grand Haven office is looking at some building
improvements which we have budgeted at $5,000 for 2006-07.

Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory.

February 20, 2006
Memo to:

Julie Fisher Cmmnings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Philip H . Peters, Chair, Audit &amp; Finance Committee

RE:

CMF 12-31-05 Financial Statements

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees accept the December 31, 2005, Internal
Financial Statements as recommended by the CMF Audit &amp; Finance Committee.

Overall we expect CMF Core Operations to generate a surplus of $189,000 for the year
ending 3-3 1-06. This is due to the following line item variances which are explained further
in this memo:
Line item

Membership Investment
Additional Membership Investment
Publication Income
Investment Earnings
Wages &amp; Benefits
Technology
Annual Conference Surplus

Addition to
Surplus
($12,000)
(20,000)
(15,000)
90,000
65,000
24,000
42,000

Core Operations
Internal Statement of Activities
Note 1: Membership Investment

The projected variance from budget is due to a few members still paying less than the
Membership Investment schedule calls for and an estimate for a few members that may not
renew for 2005-06.
Note 2: Additional Contributions

Rob is in the process of working with the Mott Foundation staff to craft a multi-year request
to renew the additional contribution in 2006-07.

�Treasurer's Report
Page 2

Note 3: Conference Income

Thanks to the generous contributions from sponsors and some cost cutting measures it looks
like the October 2005 conference will generate a surplus of $94,000 vs. a budget of $50,000
Note 4: Investment Income

Investment Income has exceeded budget due to the rising interest rates (1.3% 2004 vs. 4.2%
1-10-06) and interest earnings on special projects funds, primarily the Joyce Early
Childhood, IDA and Technology grants. Interest on these funds had totaled approximately
$45,000 to date.
Note 5: Wages &amp; Benefits

The favorable variance is due to the following:
MSHDA Grant Support Not Budgeted
Admin Fees Aspen/Mott Better Together
Communications Associate departure in
March 2005
Wages to Tobacco Settlement Grant

$7,100
10,000
25,900
12,100

Note 6: Technology

The projected costs savings are primarily in the areas of software upgrades or purchases that
were not needed or cost less than budgeted along with outside support/technical assistance
costs being less than anticipated.

�Treasurer's Report

Overall we anticipate expenditures from the endowment funds to be less than our 5%

Re:

December 31, 2005, Investment Report

RESOLVED that the December 31, 2005 Investment Report be accepted, as
recommended by the CMF Investment Committee.
On February 23, 2006, the CMF Investment Committee will meet to review and approve
the enclosed reports.
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.
The enclosed Investment Report is presented in three sections.

Investment Performance Report
December 31, 2005 is the first period in which I 0 year investment return numbers are
now available for the endowment pool.
The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula listed below, using the
Lipper median returns provided by Comerica on a quarterly basis.

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 transferring cash from the endowment funds to the CMF general checking account.

Investment Performance Comparison Report

In addition to the Lipper returns and the Cambridge &amp; Associates, Inc. pool of colleges,
universities, and foundations the committee has recently added the TIFF Multi-Asset
fund for comparative purposes. The TIFF product is unique in the fact that it offers
smaller foundations access to alternative investment products which have enhanced
returns over the last several years.
The reason this report lags the CMF Investment Report by one quarter is due to the time
it takes Cambridge to collect the results from the pool participants.

Memo to:

Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, President

Re:

Tribute to Kathy Agard

In light of the news from Kathy Agard that she is leaving Learning to Give to become the new
Director of the Johnson Center at Grand Valley State University, the following Resolution is
presented for your consideration and action. From Gennany to Korea and beyond, Kathy has
touched the world of philanthropy in so many ways!
RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Council of Michigan Foundations extends its
appreciation and heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kathryn Agard, Executive Director of Learning to
Give, for her leadership and tireless efforts over the last ten years in developing and
implementing Learning to Give as an international web based resource for teachers, parents
and others who work with youth to strengthen and share the culture of philanthropy and the
nonprofit sector for this and future generations, and
RESOLVED further that the Board of Trustees approves the commission of a Learning to
Give briefing paper on Kathy for the permanent Learning to Give collection and look forward
to working with Kathy in her new capacity as Director of the Johnson Center for Philanthropy
and Nonprofit Leadership at Grand Valley State University to strengthen, promote and
increase philanthropy in Michigan and beyond.

Memo to:

Julie Fisher Cummings, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Jim Kelly and Dottie Johnson, Co-Chairs, Learning to Give

Re:

Memorandum of Understanding with The League

cc:

Kathy Agard, Executive Director, Learning to Give

Kathy and I look forward to being w ith you on March 2 to discuss the following resolution that is
presented for your consideration and action. Dottie is out of the country and sends her support.
We also look forward to introducing you to Bill Hoogterp, a Michigan native and founder of The
League.

RESOLVED, that the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) as the sole member of
Learning To Give, a Michigan nonprofit corporation (LTG), hereby approves the
transactions between LTG and The League, a New J ersey nonprofit corporation, as set
forth in the Memorandum of Understanding as presented to the Trustees, and further
ratifies the actions of the LTG Board of Trustees in connection with these transactions.
Background
At CMF's November 2004 Board Meeting in Dearborn, a resolution was approved creating
Learning to Give as a Supporting Organization ofCMF. The background information at that
meeting stated a goal to have a plan before you within two years that would advance our shared
goal of taking Learning to Give to scale as a national initiative reaching millions of school
children throughout our country and even internationally.
In exploring the limited options available to us due to declining resources, we have focused our
efforts during the past year on an Affiliation Agreement with a new nonprofit corporation based
in New Jersey called The League. As we shared w ith you at our Annual Members Meeting last
October in Traverse City, the Board of LTG and staff see The League as the viable partner to
take Learning to Give to national scale.
In addition, we are indeed grateful to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for approving a three year
$5.8 million dollar grant to LTG to support this partnership with The League. This grant serves
two distinct purposes that you will see referenced in the attached Memorandum of
Understanding. First, LTG is creating a three million dollar endowment fund that will be used to
maintain the content currently on the LTG website and develop new content. Second, LTG will
enter into a three year grant agreement with The League for the remaining $2.8 million to
support the launch of The League powered by Learning to Give.

�Learning to Give
February 20, 2006
Page 2

The LTG Board met on February 13 and approved the following six resolutions:

RESOLVED that the Learning to Give (LTG) Board of Trustees (Board) approve
the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The League and present the
MOU to LTG's sole member, the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), for
ratification with the MOU becoming effective no sooner than March 3, 2006
contingent upon this approval.
RESOLVED further that the $5.8 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation be accepted, and the Executive Director of LTG and CMF President
be authorized to develop with legal review a three-year grant agreement with The
League for the $2.8 million earmarked in the grant for taking LTG to scale
through The League.
RESOLVED further that an endowment fund for LTG, specifically for the
maintenance of the existing content on the LTG website and the development of
new content, be created and managed for a period of three to five years as
identified in the MOU as one of the endowment funds managed by CMF, the sole
member of LTG, as of the date of the MOU, and further that the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation be notified of LTG' s intent to transfer the endowment fund to The
League according to the provisions in the MOU.
RESOLVED further that the LTG Board of Trustees adopt the Council of
Michigan Foundations &amp; Supporting Organizations' Endowed Funds Investment
Policy Statement.
RESOLVED further that an officer of LTG be authorized to sign all appropriate
documents, such as the MOU and grant agreement with The League.
RESOLVED further that the Board of Trustees of LTG extends its highest appreciation to
Kathy Agard, Executive Director of LTG, for her vital role in the development of LTG, her
innovative leadership and now many contributions in developing this recommended
partnership with The League.
In accordance w ith the above resolutions we are only attaching the Memorandum of Agreement
and License Agreement - not Attachments A-F- for your review. If you wish to review any of
the Attachments, please let Sue Cuddington know so she can email them to you. The Board of
LTG is excited about this development in the history of LTG. We are proud of all that Kathy and
her staff, with the involvement of hundreds of teachers in Michigan, Indiana and across the
country and about 10 million in foundation support, have accomplished with LTG. We will
continue to exercise our fiduciary responsibility in monitoring the perfonnance of The League
through both this MOU and three year grant agreement. We will look forward to providing you
with an update at our Annual Members Meeting on Sunday October 15 in Kalamazoo.
Thank you for your consideration of the proposed Resolution.

Memo to:

CMF Executive Committee

Amanda Van Dusen
Lloyd J. Yeo

From:

Robert S. Collier
Dav id R. Lindberg

Julie F. Cummings

RE:

Revision to Resolution to Enter into Contracts

RESOLVED that the President &amp; Chief Executive Officer is authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of CMF and its supporting organizations,
such printed resolutions deemed necessary to enter into contracts or agreements on
behalf of the various corporations, so long as those contracts or agreements fall within
current budget constraints as approved by the CMF Board of Trustees.
Background

In reviewing the original resolution Julie Cummings suggested language be added to clarify
under what circumstances the President &amp; CEO would be authorized to sign contracts or
agreements, which we have incorporated to the revised resolution. With Julie's approval of
the revised resolution we are asking the remaining Executive Committee members to approve
this revision.
The President and CEO position of CMF has been designated as the person authorized to sign
all necessary contracts and agreements that may be necessary to carry on the operations of
CMF and the various supporting organizations. Occasionally a contract or agreement
requires that a resolution of the Board be adopted authorizing the President &amp; CEO to such
document. To prevent delays in these transactions, management is recommending the
Executive Committee adopt this standing resolution as recommended by CMF legal counsel,
Clark Hill.
Please indicate your approval below and fax back to Barb Dryer's attention at 616-842-1760.
