                    <text>Report to the Foundation Liaison Advisory Committee
March 2006 - September 2006
Overview

During this reporting period the Office of Foundation Liaison (OFL) has worked on
activities related to all four office objectives as well as several tasks associated with the
administrative objective as outlined below. The five issue areas of focus for OFL- early
childhood development, education, health care, land use and workforce
development have all been addressed during this reporting period.
With the decision of the Advisory Committee members to continue support for the office
beyond the original commitment, a very significant portion of staff time has been
dedicated to obtaining additional fi nancial support for the office through September 30,
2008 and to gamer this from other types of foundations. Six community foundations and
one out-of-state foundation have made grants to the Council of Michigan Foundations for
OFL. Proposals are also pending with a corporate and a family foundation. The Phase II
Assessment Report on the office has been printed and Phase III Assessment has been
initiated with Grand Valley State University and sample database materials for Phase III
are attached to this report. However, the clerical support position for the office is again
open, after an unsuccessful hire. This position will most likely remain open until after
the November Election.
As much of the time and energy of the executive branch and the legislature has been
consumed by the impending election and partisan politics; we have dedicated less time to
specific proposals for funding and concentrated our efforts during this interval on office
administrative concerns, developing new relationships, research and learning, including
site visits and briefings. This was done with the counsel of Dave Egner (Committee
Chair) and Rob Collier and with the understanding of our Executive Office contact,
Teresa Bingman, Deputy Chief of Staff for Cabinet Affairs and Management.
Nonetheless, we have continued to facilitate and help coordinate four briefings and one
site visit as well as increased the total amount of financial support from foundations to
the state to $28 million. Our challenge, as well as opportunity as we move forward into
2007 is to make a successfu l position for this office and for the foundation community to
be a strategic force post-election 2006. This will require a discussion at the Advisory
Committee level that supports CMF's Public Policy Committee strategy and utilizes the
staff and office as a critical tool for assisting the state in developing a strategic economic
recovery plan and accompanying public policy initiatives.

The following work was accomplished by the Office of Foundation

Public Policy Committee Report

Spring &amp; Summer Events &amp; Meetings
The seven key public policy meetings held since the May Board Meeting and listed below are
incorporated in the President's Report.
• Reinventing Prisoner Reentry Site Visit
• Creating a Healthier Michigan Through Quality, Access, and Management Briefing
• Michigan Civil Rights Initiative: Implications for Grantmakers, Women &amp;
Communities
• K-12 Education Meeting
• Land Use Funders Meeting
• 21st Century Jobs Fund Public Policy Briefing
• Early Matters Funders Group Meeting
Committee Meeting- September 7, 2006
Key points of the discussion:
A. Taking a position on state ballot issues.
The Committee discussed expanding its role beyond building awareness and understanding
among CMF members to making recommendations to the Board ofTmstees on actions it
suggests be taken in response to such issues as the Civil Rights ballot initiative. This discussion
resulted from a motion made to add CMF's name to the list of supporters of Michigan United.
After reviewing the Board's decision for CMF not to take a position, the Committee asked staff
to draft language about when it might take action and how.
B. Creating an Affinity Group ofFunders on Michigan's Economy
There was consensus to invite interested members to form an Affinity Group that can focus on
the State 's economy. The wide differences in how foundations can and are playing a role in
economic development was noted. The role of a number of foundations with think tanks, like
Michigan Future, was also discussed. There may be an opportunity to have the initial meeting
with interested funders at the Annual Conference.
Communications: Website, Articles &amp; Reports
• www.cmif.org. A new page was built to share information about the 2006 ballot initiatives

�HONORARY CHAIRS

THE COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS IS PLEASED TO RECOGNIZE
TED BRAUN OF SAGINAW AND MOLLY DOBSON OF ANN ARBOR
AS HONORARY CHAIRS OF THE 35TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
Ted Braun is recipient of the 2007 Mawby Award for Philanthropy. Named for Russell G. Mawby, president emeritus

of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the award recognizes an individual who has demonstrated a lifelong commitment
to encouraging private action for the public good through philanthropy.
Ted 's commitment to community is evidenced in the hundreds of hours of pro bono legal work he does annually
for small nonprofit agencies through the law firm of Braun, Kendrick &amp; Finkbeiner. As president of the Harvey
Randall Wickes Foundation, he is always open to listening to new ideas, giving guidance on funding options
and championing operational funding for strong local agencies.
Ted is an avid believer in the importance of relationship building and collaboration - shepherding the affiliation of
th e Child Abuse and Neglect Council with the United for Kids Children's Assessment Center, leading an endowment
campaign for Saginaw Valley State University and creating Volunteer START (students together for a responsible
tomorrow).
Over the years he has shared his time, treasure and talent with the Boys and Girls Club, United Way, Saginaw
Commu nity Foundation, Child and Family Services, Saginaw General Hospital and many more organizations.
Ted's legal expertise, business acumen and philanthropic endeavors continue to enrich the Saginaw area.
Molly Dobson is recipient of the 2007 Community Foundation Award for Philanthropy that recognizes the
~hou sands

of volunteers now involved in building community philanthropy though a network of 65 community

oundations serving all 83 Michigan counties. With her late husband Bill, they helped found the Ann Arbor Area
Comm unity Foundation. Former trustee and member of the Development Committee, Molly is now on the Fund
e Future Committee - working on building the community foundation's endowment capacity with unrestricted
and fi eld of interest funds.
e Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation's Youth Council pr.ovided a challenge grant to Ann Arbor's teen center,
e Neutral Zone that serves over 17,000 teens annually. Molly was the first donor and continues her support."Our
commu nity is fortunate to have many involved citizens, but very few match Molly Dobson's affection for and
edication to the Ann Arbor area," said Cheryl Elliott, president &amp; CEO, Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation.
'=or more th an 50 years, Molly has devoted time, money, energy and leadership making her one of Washtenaw
ounty's most valuable assets.
- ed Braun and Molly Dobson were selected by an objective peer review panel to receive these two awards
esented by Governor Granholm at the Governor's Service Awards. The Board ofTrustees of the Council of
ichigan Foundations thank them for their lifetime dedication, commitment and giving spirit that has done
so much and continues to benefit all of us in Michigan.

Leveraging or brokering funds to meet community need. As a
result of the CRCF's community needs assessment and strategic
planning process, the Foundation is leading a multi-year Community
Youth Initiative in partnership with the Capital Area United Way.
CRCF will set aside $100,000 a year for the next three years
(annually allocated by the Board) for a proactive grant. The
Community Youth Initiative funding target is $500,000 a year for
three years. The area of focus will be a mutually agreed upon impact
area which a coalition of funders will support. A convening meeting
has been hosted by CRCF for interested regional funders and
consensus on the general approach reached. Youth Programming
experts will be asked to participate in a half day series of
presentations. The presenters will be asked to answer the question:
"If you had $500,000 a year to invest in youth programming what
would be the highest return activity to engage in?" Following this a

Initiative. The goal is to fund one high-impact grant. A robust
evaluation will be built-in to the grant.

Grants

Allegan County Community Foundation

The grant given to the Allegan County Math &amp; Science Center
helped support the Eco Races which had more than 40
participating high school teams from many schools in Allegan
and Van Buren Counties. The Sun Sprint involved using
problem solving, math and science to build a solar-powered
racecar and then racing it. In the Trash Dash, students were
given supplies to build a battery-operated racecar out of reusable
materials. Both projects allowed students to learn more about
energy transfer, aerodynamics, renewable energy applications as
well as waste and resource management. Teachers were given
packets to guide them in a teaching curriculum as they guide their
students as they design, build and then race their creations.
The most significant grant was a 3-year, $75,000 grant to the
Neutral Zone (Ann Arbor's teen center) for new program at their
new location. This grant was part of a larger grant (total of
$150,000 over three years) made in collaboration with AAACF’s
Distribution Committee. This will allow NZ to focus on new
program offerings to teens in the community as well as provide
time for NZ to develop a strategy for long-term program
sustainability.
Last year we granted $4,800 to Barry County Christian School.
They used this money to purchase supplies to create a Quality
baseball program. I feel that this grant had the largest impact on
our community because Barry County Christian didn't have a
baseball program before this grant.
This cooperative project between the Monroe County Sheriff’s
Department and all the fourth graders in Bedford Schools,
involved the fourth graders writing letters to the senior students
at the high school. The letters told the seniors how they were
role models for the younger students and how important it was
for them not to drink or use drugs. All the fourth grade students
were taken to the high school to personally deliver their letters to
the seniors. Senior students reported that it really made an
impact to know how the younger kids viewed them and to see
how important it was to be a good role model for the younger
students.
New Buffalo Foursquare Church--New Buffalo Community
Youth Center. Funding for development and maintenance of
recreational and healthful programs at NBCYC, so that the
potential of the youth population will be maximized.
The grant we made to Pregnancy Services of Greater Lansing for
their SMART (Sexually Mature Aware Responsible Teens)
program. Our grant helped cover the cost of employment for
part-time presenters to area middle and high schools, encouraging
teens to choose abstinence from pre-marital sexual activity and
related behaviors.

A grant to North Central Michigan College in support of the
Native American Mentoring Program. The program will bring 30
Native American students (grades 7 - 9) to the college campus for
a 5-day residential summer youth camp experience. The purpose
of the camp experience is to expose the students to a college
setting, mentoring in career guidance, and a renewal of their
Native American culture.
They gave money to a Library for a Summer Reading Program.
That should impact the kids a good way by keeping them excited
about reading in the summer.

YAC 2007 Annual Survey
Report to the Field

The grant with the most impact in 2007 in my opinion would be
the Clio High School - High Impact Alcohol Awareness Program
- Save A Life Tour. This program provided education to high
school students about the risks involved in underage drinking in
an interactive and innovate manner. Students participated in
video game-type driving simulations as well as heard from
speakers with personal or family instances of tragedy related to
drinking and driving.
While this grant was for $2,000 it doesn't show up in the above
figures because it was made during the middle of the YAC year
which falls after the end of the Foundation's fiscal year.
The YAC granted $30,000 to the County of Muskegon to support
the Juvenile Justice Needs Assessment portion of the Muskegon
County Master Plan. This needs assessment will be linked with
the Family Court Title V Juvenile Delinquency assessment to
develop a comprehensive vision for meeting future juvenile
justice needs in Muskegon County.
As one of our YAC students said, "I think the Ready, Set, Swim!
Project is the best grant we've ever given." This project is
designed to teach area youth how to swim at an early age. The
student said he would probably be a better swimmer if the project
had been around when he was younger. (He's a pretty insightful
eleventh grader.)
The Youth Initiative awarded a grant to Southwest Counseling
Solutions for support for a mentoring program for at-risk youth,
matching 10 peer mentors with 20 youth (1 youth/1 mentor for a
6-month period of time) to provide opportunities for the mentors
to offer encouragement and support. The YAC members
themselves recruited and trained the peer mentors. The mentors
and youth participated in in weekly activities including
workshops, youth groups, game and movie nights and group
outings. The YAC members felt this was an important connection
because they believe that troubled youth are more likely to learn
form their peers than from adults. They also identified benefits
for the mentors, such as public speaking skills and developing
leadership skills.

Community Foundation of Greater
Rochester

Girls on the Run: We granted $5,000 to start a Girls on the Run
program here in Rochester. The program teaches young girls
how to reach goals and have confidence in themselves. It uses
aerobic training activities building up to a 5k run at the end of the
program year.
Be The Change Group - Purpose to break down walls and learn
to respect each other at the school level for who each student
within a school system.
In 2006 the Youth Advisory Committee funded the Suspending
Bridges Program at the Bridge Youth Ministry Center in Zeeland
Michigan. The Suspension program serves middle school
students on out-of-school suspension. On the day(s) of
suspension, students report to The Bridge, an after school
program, for a day of tutoring, behavior management, community
service, nutrition and health. This program was so successful in
the Zeeland Community School District that the YAC funded
another organization to replicate the model in the West Ottawa
School District.
The YAC awarded a grant for $3,500 for the Linden High School
Start Spring Smart Project. In my opinion this was the most
impactful grant as it reached the total school population of an
area high school with speakers, and activities reinforcing the
importance of good decision making, particularly as it relates to
drug and alcohol use. The project occurs every year right before
spring break which is a high risk time for youth to be involved in
risky behaviors.
Our YAC gave a grant of $15,000 to help build the Mulligan's
Hollow Skate Park. This grant will provide fun, safe recreational
activities for 10,000 skate boarders and BMX bikers each year.

students on correct behavior and to help to prevent or control
some of the poorer choices.
Library- Designated a youth laptop for after school usage.
The YGC's greatest impact this year came not from a grant, but
from the press they generated around the release of the survey
results. Local media gave this survey significant coverage.
Mentor a Mom program where young mothers are matched up
with mentors to provide support as they learn how to be a parent.
There are play dates for the mothers, children and mentors as
well as educational programs. This is a program that closely
aligns with one of the focus areas that was determined as a need
by the youth in the community.

Hillsdale County Community Foundation

$4,916.87 was granted to the Digital Desktop Publishing Class at

associated with creating and distributing a series of studentcreated “What’s Your Anti-Drug” commercials. These
commercials were distributed to local schools in Hillsdale
County through the Channel One system, and were also aired on
the local community access cable channel.

YAC awarded a grant to a Challenge Day motivational assembly
for all Iosco County students. The main focus was on
understanding peers, eliminating the "clique" society of high
school, bridging gaps between the popular and the not-sopopular, etc. Reviews of the assembly from other schools and
from students who had attended it before were glowing. Students
said they made new friends that day with kids they had sat by,
but to whom they have never spoken.
$5,000 was given to Project Reconnect which funded a get-away
for 55 soldiers in our county returning from Iraq, along with their
families.
The grant the group feels has the greatest chance for impact was
given to Catholic Family Services to hold classes for Pregnant
and/or Parenting Teens. We feel that by teaching teens to be
better parents, the cycle of teens having babies who will be teen
parents can be broken. The parent, whether a teen or not, is the
first teacher of every child and we want every teen who is a
parent to have the skills necessary to help their children succeed.
The YAC has just begun to grant after a period of inactivity.
They granted to the Keweenaw Krayons at the end of the
2006/2007 school year for the Keweenaw Guerrillas program.
The program aimed at involving teens and pre-teens in a
community activity wherein they can feel a sense of community
by helping others in a very different way.
The YAC put on an event called YACapalooza. It was a
community event that was held the same week-end as National
Turn-Off your T.V. Week-end. There was food, music and
activities for youth and adults as well. It brought together the
Community and made people a lot more aware of YAC and what
they are about.

Lenawee Community Foundation

Catholic Charities of Lenawee received monies to support a 12
step program for teens. The goal of the program is to provide a
safe place to assist youth toward recovery from alcohol and
chemical dependency, and help teens develop healthy coping
skills, by sharing thoughts and feelings about their current
conditions and future plans. Because of the numbers involved 2
different groups of 15 met every other week. The initial program
evolved to serve only boys, because of the numbers wanting help
and another grant was fulfilled in our current fiscal year to
provide 2 groups one for males and one for females.
This year one of our past foundation presidents wanted to
recognize area youth for their volunteer efforts. She brought the
idea to the YACs and challenged them to come up with a plan to
achieve her vision. The YACs developed the Young
Philanthropist Award which recognizes young volunteer for their
commitment to community service. The recipient receives a
scholarship and a donation is made to the charity of their choice
in their name.
They awarded $5000 to the Moosewood Nature Center to provide
outdoor classroom activities to over $1500 pre-K to HS students
in Marquette County. An indirect benefit is the exposure
Moosewood received.
The River Safety Project here in Big Rapids. The YAC students
asked the committee to come in for a presentation. They
presented a grant request and the group approved. The funds
were used to purchase a water safety sign along the river with the
MCYAC logo.
The Midland County Juvenile Care Center was given a grant that
funded 4-eight week sessions providing a series of critical life
skills in a safe, controlled environment involving the Midland
Community Center's rock climbing wall. The participants started
by learning physical and mental aspects of climbing safety, and
the importance of trust and responsibility. Each week they
learned skills like overcoming fear, trusting others,
communicating effectively...etc. This project helped change the
lives of kids in need and get them thinking about how they can
change their lives for the better.

Foundation

In October 2006, the YAC awarded a $5,000 grant to Mt.
Pleasant High School to help support their "Teen Summit" and to
specifically fund representative from the "Challenge Day"
Program to be involved in the day. The Teen Summit was held
in February 2007 and was set up like a conference with a variety
of speakers/presentations available for students to choose from
with the topics falling under the broad umbrella of Teen
Victimization. There were small intensive breakout sessions
during the day and a concluding keynote speaker from Challenge
Day with their empowering "Be the Change" message. Student
and staff groups spent months planning the Summit and 1500
students
A $1,200 grant was awarded to Mio-AuSable School District for
a Mobile Lab initiative, which purchased laptop computers for
the high school. Because this school is so rural and lacks much
needed funding, this grant provided an opportunity for students to
have access to current technology and develop more of the skills
needed to succeed in today's business world.
Mini-Grants for Educators. It really helps educators provide
programs that are above and beyond the basics. Because funding
for education in Michigan is extremely tight, the mini-grants for
educators can make the difference.
Vanderbilt Middle School Family Night- Provided a program for
families to enjoy activities together. The program was conducted
the fall of 2006 and winter of 2007. Between 40 and 70 families
participated each week.
The "Connecting" Art Project for Youth in the Probate Court
School had a big impact with those youth and the community that
works with at risk youth. This grant received a "Great Grant"
award this past summer at the Youth Summer Leadership
Conference.

drugs. The speaker also addressed parents at a well-attended
parent meeting. In addition to the above mentioned issues were
the following: proper dental care with free tooth brushes, sun

Saginaw Community Foundation FORCE

In a matter of four days, Azim Khamisa reached out to over 2,600
students, youth, teachers, and community members to help spread
his message of civic responsibility, anti-violence, and human
understanding. His inspiring journey lasted from April 24th to
April 28th, and was sponsored by many community organizations
including a $1,000.00 grant from the Saginaw Community
Foundation’s Youth FORCE.
In 1995, Tariq Khamisa, a student at San Diego State University
and Azim Khamisa?s only son, was shot and killed by 14-yearold Tony Hickes, while delivering pizzas. Since that day, Azim’s
life has never been the same. Instead of choosing a life of
retribution and revenge, he decided to take action and make
something positive happen from his son’s tragedy. He went from
a successful international investment banker to a social worker in
a matter of months, starting the Tariq Khamisa Foundation (TKF)
to stop kids from killing kids.
Azim brought his message to Saginaw, confronting middle
school and high school students about a topic that is not easy to
talk about- youth and gang violence. However, having first-hand
knowledge of the effects of violence, Azim more than captured
the audiences’ attention- he engaged them. During one portion of
Azim’s presentation, he asks the audience “how many of you
have lost a family member to violence”. The number of students
in 6th grade that raised their hands was astonishing. At some of
the schools, seventy five percent of the students stated that they
had lost someone close to them due to violence.

During Azim’s trip, the message he shared will surely resonate
with students long after he is gone. He had a connection with the
students, an understanding. During his presentation at the
Saginaw County Juvenile Detention Center, many of the kids
were in tears. Because Azim’s message was hitting so close to
home, the youth were talking about him well after he was gone
and many wrote thank-you letters expressing their gratitude for
such a positive and life-altering experience.
Grant to Sanilac County Kids' Connection for Yellow Ribbon
Suicide Prevention Program
Fund the Ottawa County Mentoring Collaborative, which
matches mentees with mentors, provides support, training, and
incentives to mentors in Ottawa County.
A $1,500 grant to an elementary school was a large contributor to
a 5th grade class being able to travel to Philadelphia, PA to visit
the historic sights. For many students in the Straits area, this is
the farthest they ever have, or perhaps ever will, travel. Without
this grant, the trip was not likely to have happened.

Sturgis Area Community Foundation

$10,000 grant for a program for middle school student called "Be
the Change"-it is an anti-bullying, awareness program that
received rave reviews from students and parents in the
community.

Tuscola County Community Foundation

$5,000.00 was granted to the Human Development Commission
to assist that organization with the development of an AfterSchool Latch Key Program. This program will be open from
3:15 to 6:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday and be open for
Kindergarten through grade school students. The unique point of
this program is that it will be integrated with a program that
provides a similar type of service for senior citizens. So, not only
will a valuable community service be provided, but young
children and senior citizens will benefit from this group
interaction.
To fund a teen after-hours program at the library.

�Note 4: Conference &amp; Meetings

The October 2007 Annual Conference in Dearborn, is budgeted to earn a surplus of
$ 113,000, which is down from $139,000 Kalamazoo October 2006 surplus. Sponsorship
has been reduced by $10,000 to account for some possible attrition, and expenses for
hotel costs (meals, rooms &amp; AV) have been increased by $16,000 to account for the
higher rates at this location.
The increase from the prior year is due to the following meetings·
Governance as Leadership

Essential Skills Workshop

$10,500
40,000
7,000

Note 5: Publications Income

The 151h Edition of the Michigan Foundation Directory was released in the fall of2006
and should generate revenue totaling $76,000 in 2006-07. This represents approximately
75% of the total revenue budgeted for this edition. Overall the Directory, which is
published every two years, is budgeted to generate a two year surplus of $39,000.
Note 6: Investment Earnings

The decrease from 2006-07 is the result of endowing $600,000 of the CMF Core Services
accumulated surplus.

costs for the facility.

Memo to:

From:

Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President &amp; Chief Operating Officer

Re:

351h Annual Conference
October 21-23, 2007, Dearborn

Planning has begun for the 351h Annual Conference with leadership from CMF trustees, Melonie
Colaianne, Allan Gilmour and Gerald Smith who have agreed to serve as co-chairs. We look
forward to sharing both the Conference theme and our first plenary speaker.
CMF's goals for the conference are to:
o Provide participants with opportunities to refl ect, refresh, and network with peers; be
exposed to the latest knowledge and issues facing philanthropy; and learn at least one new
skill or resource to help them be more effective.
o Design an event that recognizes, honors and welcomes all participants in line with our goals
for cultural competency
o Attract 350 full and 250 paid registrations
o Secure $165,000 in sponsorships and $14,250 in exhibitor fees.

Planning Process
An outstanding group of members has agreed to serve on this year's Conference Committee (see
roster attached). The Committee will meet in person twice this spring: March 16 in Lansing to
receive an orientation to the conference, the planning process and to identify priority session
topics; and May 3 at the Hyatt Dearborn to approve proposed sessions and tour the faci lity.

Marketing
Conference marketing began at the 341h Annual Conference in Kalamazoo with participant
notepads and pens with the 2007 conference dates and location. The conference dates are now
included on: the Event Calendar on www.cmif.org, in E-N ews and in Memo to Members.
In February 2007, an eye-catching save-the-date card was mailed to 4,500 foundation staff and

trustees. Please see the back pocket of your notebook for a copy of the postcard. Conference
marketing will continue through all CMF communications vehicles culminating in our major
push, distribution of the registration brochure and launch of the registration area of
www.cmif.org in early July.
Conference planning and implementation is being handled by a team with roles are as follows:
• Kathy Ginocchio - logistics
• Dave Lindberg- sponsorship and exhibitor recruitment
• Vicki Rosenberg- program development, marketing and communications

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier

RE:

Establishment of CMF Core Services Endowment Fund

Resolved, that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the establishment of a Core
Services Endowment Fund using $600,000 of the approximately $1,200,000 Core
Services surplus cash balance as recommended by the CMF Audit &amp; Executive
Committees. The purpose of this endowment fund will be to support Core Member
Services.
Background
At December 2006 Audit Committee meeting we discussed the idea of establishing an
endowment fund to support the ongoing Core Member Services using a portion of the
current $1,200,000 surplus cash balance. Management is recommending that $600,000
of the current surplus be used to establish this endowment fund, leaving $600,000 as a
cushion to cover fluctuations in our cash flow.

Currently the cash surplus is invested in a Money Market account earning approximately
5% annually. By endowing a portion of these surplus dollars the spendable income
should grow at a faster pace than current earnings on these funds. See attached
worksheet.

Based on the attached projection the CMF Core surplus for 2006-07 should be $104,000.

CMF Core Operations
Note 1: Member Contributions
Based on payments as of 2-6-07 and assuming the following outstanding dues are paid by
3-31-07, membership should end the year at $965,000.
Included in this projection are the following major dues amounts.
St. Denys Foundation
Earhart Foundation

$ 1,700
6,300

Others
Total

$ 150,000
25,000
9,460
$ 184,460

Note 3: Other Grants

�Treasurer's Report
Page 2

Note 4: Conference Income
The October 2006 Annual Conference has generated a surplus of $139,000 vs. a budget
of$102,000.

Note 5: Publication Income
Included in the total budget amount of $93,000 is $27,600 in Directories that will be
given to members of Michigan's Congressional Delegation in Washington DC and the
Michigan Legislature. Those Directories will be charged to the William Allen Fund and
Russell G. Mawby Fund.

Note 6: Investment Earnings
The YTD variance from budget is primarily due to the following special projects dollars
remaining at 3-31-06, plus the Kellogg ECIC grant that was received in 2006.
Joyce Early Childhood
Tobacco Settlement
IDA Funding
3 Year Technology Funders

$334,000
160,000
593,000
218,000

Note 7: Wages
The favorable YTD variance is primarily due to Core staff time that was spent on the
following special projects:
MSHDA
Land Use Funders
Access to Recreation support
ECIC Support
Joyce Foundation Early Learning support
Overtime &amp; Mise less than budget

6,900
2,000
4,200
6,700
12,200
8,900

Note 8: Equipment Maintenance
The variance from budget is the result of the copier maintenance contract being lowered
from $2,800 to $400 per quarter due the number of copies being run on the machine.
This is primarily due to the increased use of the internet for communications purposes.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance &amp; Administration

Re:

December 31, 2006 Investment Report

The following Resolution is presented for consideration:

R ESOLVED that the December 31, 2006, Investment Report be accepted, as
recommended by the CMF Investment Committee.
On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV), Learning to
Give (LTG) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meets to review the investment
performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds.

New Business
On March I, 2007, the CMF Investment Committee met to review and approve the
enclosed reports.
To follow up on the report from the October 17, 2006, Board meeting the Investment
Committee is recommending that 25% of the CMF &amp; LTG Endowment funds be invested
in the TIFF Multi-Asset Fund to allow access to alternative asset categories. The TIFF
Multi-Asset Fund is broken down as follows.
Asset Class
US Equities
International Equities
Fixed Income
Real Estate
High Y ield Bonds
Absolute Return
Commodities
Resource-Related Stocks
Cash

�Investment Report
Page 2

To allow access to the alternative categories noted above, the Investment Committee is in
the process of revising the Investment Policy statement which will be presented to the
CMF Board for final approval at the May 2007 Board meeting. Because the TIFF
product is a multi-asset/commingled fund that is meant for smaller foundations who want
to invest their entire portfolio without having to worry about asset allocation issues, the
Investment Committee is working on the follow ing changes to the investment policy:
•
•
•
•

•

The asset allocation policy will be split into a general pool (following the current
asset allocation) and an alternative pool for multi-asset/commingled products.
The initial investment in the alternative pool will be 25% of the current CMF &amp;
LTG Endowment portfolios.
The general pool will continue to be rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
Since the multi-asset/commingled products are rebalanced by the individual
managers, the Investment Committee will monitor those asset allocations in light
of current and anticipated market conditions.
The committee will monitor the total asset allocation between the general and
alternative pools and rebalance as appropriate; keeping in mind that many of the
multi-asset/commingled products involve exit fees that will factor into the
rebalancing decision.

The enclosed Investment Report is presented in three sections.

Investment Performance Report
The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation fonnula listed below, using the
Lipper median returns provided by Comerica on a quarterly basis.

Asset Allocation Report
The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that
instructs CMF's Vice President of Finance &amp; Administration to rebalance the endowment
fund portfolio on a quarterly basis.

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.

Re:

Funders Concerned about Michigan's Economy

The Funders Group Concerned about Michigan's Economy met on February 16 at the
University of Michigan to receive a briefing from Steve Forrest, Vice President for
Research for the university. A copy of his PowerPoint presentation that has since been
updated for his meeting with the Mott Foundation Board of Trustees is attached.
We were very encouraged by Professor Forrest's passion and comm itment on behalf of
President Coleman on the university's role in helping transform Michigan's economy.
It is clear that the university recognizes its public responsibility and need for a new
collaborative approach with the other universities in the state as well as other partners in
tackling three key needs: capitol, talent and leadership.
We have asked Prof. Forrest and his team to provide additional information on his
Michigan Universities Commercialization Initiative (MUCI). We are excited to have the
assistance of Andy Hastings whose resume is in the back pocket of your book, in helping
our group explore models that other states are using to deal with economic
transformation. An MBA student at the Ross School of Business, Andy has selected
CMF as a volunteer assignment through the University of Michigan's Nonprofit Board
Fellowship Program.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, President

cc:

Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Co-Chairs, Government Relations
Committee
Dave Egner, Co-Chair Public Policy Committee

Re:

Government Relations Report- Foundations on the Hill Visit 2007

The purpose of this memo is to: report on the February 27 &amp; 28 Foundations on the Hill
Visit; request consideration of support for two Washington policy issues- neither of
which are on CMF's current Legislative Goals Statement or Public Policy Agenda;
provide an update on one Michigan Legislative Goal and request support for
reinstatement of the inheritance tax as a Michigan Legislative Goal.
I. Foundations on the Hill Visit
The largest delegation of Michigan foundation representatives ever - 46 -joined by three
CMF staff and Foundation Liaison Karen Aldridge-Eason, participated in the annual

Foundations on the Hill visit to our Michigan Congressional Delegation. A participant list
is included as ATTACHMENT A. We were pleased to have 14 face to face meetings
with members and three with staff. Several members, such as Representatives Upton and
Knollen berg, stepped out of Committee Meetings to visit with us.
We started our Washington visit with a special luncheon hosted by Peter and Julie
Cummings at the Library of Congress. The curator of the maps and geography division
brought several special maps of Michigan to share, and the curator for architecture led a
special tour. We were then treated to a special visit from the Librarian ofthe Library of
Congress, Jim Billington. We easily could have spent the whole afternoon listening to
him talk about their efforts to digitize parts of the collection for the Internet and
managing 2.5 million new acquisitions a year. Our thanks to Julie and Peter for this
special treat!
We had three special guests for our dinner on Tuesday evening: Michigan's newest
member of Congress Tim Walberg from the ih District (representing Battle Creek and
Jackson); Diana Aviv, president of Independent Sector; and Rodney Emery, Vice
President of Government Relations for the Council on Foundations.
Wednesday morning we cheered Congressman Dave Camp as he received the Friend of
Philanthropy Award from the Council on Foundations and Forum of Regional
Associations of Grantmakers after speaking to the more than 390 grantmakers from 40

�Government Relations Report

states gathered for this annual event. The award was presented by our Chairperson Diana
Sieger and Brian Rodgers, chair of the Midland Area Community Foundation.
Our Wednesday morning visits were enhanced with a journalist from Tax Analyst, placed
with us for four visits and two Diversity Fellows from the Associated Grantmakers of
Massachusetts (AGM) matched with two of our members for visits. Information on Tax
Analyst is included as ATTACHMENT B.
While we are still collecting feedback from participants, the following three summary
learnings are offered:
•

There is support for extension of the IRA Charitable Provision. Congressional
Members were pleased to receive the preliminary list of recipients we have
collected, included as ATTACHMENT C. As a next step we need to provide them
with several examples of how this gifting opportunity really works.

•

There seems to be greater interest than before "on both sides of the aisle" in
correcting the inequity/unfairness in the excise tax on private foundations. With
helpful illustrations from CMF Trustees Dave Egner and Sterling Speirn, several
Congressional Members expressed their concern about the chilling impact this tax
has on the need for more giving at critical times, such as responding to Hurricane
Katrina. As a next step, we need to work with the Council on Foundations in
detem1ining how the tax could be simplified at a revenue neutral level.

•

While Representatives Levin and Camp have both sent letters to the Treasury at
our request urging clarification of the new regulations on Donor Advised Funds
and Supporting Organizations in the Pension Bill, support for a technical
improvements bill to the Charitable Reform Provisions in the Pension Bill is too
early to gauge until the Council on Foundations is able to provide draft language
for such a bill.

I look forward to having participating Trustees share their learnings from the visits as
well. Several members have offered useful suggestions on how we can improve the
Visits next year:
•
•

•

Reduce the number of talking points from six to three;
Provide participants with a score card on how our Congressional Members have
voted on these issues in the past and whether they are sponsors of proposed
legislation; and
Further simplify the issue papers so they are less "legalese."

In sum, it was a productive Hill visit for all and the feedback we have received from both
our members and Congressional Members has been most positive.

II. Washington Policy Issues- Extension of the Conservation Easement Provision in
the Pension Bill and Federal Support for 2-1-1
Let me first state that there has not been time to vet these two issues with the Government
Relations Committee, Public Policy Committee or Land Use Funders Group. However,
CMF has been asked by a number of members- both private and community foundations
supporting each issue and the local land conservancies and United Ways that are serving
as the implementing agencies - to support legislation on these issues as summarized
below.
The following proposed Resolution combines the issues, however they can be considered
individually if the Board would like. On the first issue, we learned from Representative
Camp that he will be the lead co-sponsor with Representative Thompson on the House
Bill to accompany the Senate Bill already introduced by Senators Baucus and Grassley.
This co-sponsorship by Grassley is a dramatic turn around on an issue he opposed a year
ago.
The Michigan Association of United Ways has developed a Business Plan for complete
state 2-1-1 coverage that would cost $5 million annually and have a projected one million
users a year. CMF has been asked by members to co-sponsor a briefmg on April 23 for
our members in the areas of the State currently not served by 2-1-1 (as indicated in the
map, ATTACHMENT D.)

RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations support the Rural Heritage
Conservation Act, S. 469 that will support the goals of sustainable land use and
conservation promoted by the Land Use Funders Group and other members, and
RESOLVED further that the Council of Michigan Foundations support 2-1-1 as an
important resource for Michigan residents and therefore supportS. 211 and H.211 the Calling for 2-1-1 Act.
Background on Conservation Easements:
In January, Senate Finance Committee Chair Max Baucus (D-MT) introduced the Rural

Heritage Conservation Extension Act of2007 to make the conservation easement
permanent. Finance Committee Ranking Member Charles Grassley (R-IA) cosponsored
the bill. The Bush Administration announced that the incentive in the Baucus-Grassley
bill is included in their FY 2008 Budget proposal as a featured part of the work of the
President's Cooperative Conservation Task Force.
In the Pension Protection Act of2006, Congress changed the tax incentive for voluntary
conservation donations - donations by private landowners that retire development rights
to protect significant w ildlife, scenic and historic resources. That change enables family
farmers, ranchers and other moderate-income landowners to get a significant tax benefit
for such donations. Most of these donations are made to local, community-based
charities dedicated to keeping land in agriculture, conserving important w ildlife habitats
and protecting important open space and historic resources.

�Government Relations Report
March 2007
Page 4

The 2006 law:
• Raised the maximum deduction a donor can take for donating a conservation
easement from 30% of their adjusted gross income (AGI) in any year to 50%;
• Allowed qualified farmers and ranchers to deduct up to I 00% of their AGI; and
• Increased the number of years over which a donor can take deductions from 6
years to 16 years.
Under prior law, an agricultural landowner earning $50,000 a year who donated a
conservation easement worth $1 million could take a total of no more than $90,000 in tax
deductions. Under the new law, that landowner can take as much as $800,000 in tax
deductions - still less than the full value of their donation but a significant increase.
The 2006 law also set higher standards for appraisers and appraisals of all donated
property and set higher penalties for abusive appraisals. Conservationists support this to
ensure the integrity of the charitable donation process. The law also tightened restrictions
on donations of easements to protect historic buildings. These reforms do not expire at
the end of this year.
Background on 2-1-1:
The Calling for 2-1-1 Act was introduced in January 2007 to provide federal financial
support to designated state 2-1-1 entities. The bills (H.211 and S.211) have bipartisan
support in both houses, with 91 House cosponsors and 31 in the Senate. The Callingfor
2-1-1 Act seeks to authorize federal funding of $150 million for years one and two and
$100 million for years three through five through the US Department of Health &amp; Human
Services to help implement and sustain 2-1-1 nationwide. States would be required to
provide a 50% match in order to draw down the federal dollars. The federal funding can
be used for a variety of 2-1-1 related purposes, including but not limited to planning for
and implementing 2-1-1 , operating costs, technology upgrades, public awareness, training
and evaluation.
States' 2-1-1 systems are public-private partnerships, locally designed by community
stakeholders to save time and reduce confusion for citizens seeking access to human
services. As of January 2007, approximately 65% of the US population had access to
2-1-1 services; 2-1-1 provides an enhanced experience for those seeking assistance and
substantial cost savings. Estimated benefits total at least $1 .1 billion over ten years, with
almost $ 130 million in the first year alone, according to a University of Texas study. Call
centers helped reduce the burden on 9-1-1 operators in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita, assisting in non-emergency situations with information and referral services.
In Michigan, 2-1-1 is currently available to 70% of Michigan's citizens - it streamlines

access to needed health and human services. Call centers are staffed by trained
specialists who quickly assess callers' needs and refer them to the help they need. It is
simple to remember, accessible to everyone at no cost and available 2417 with
multilingual capabilities.

III. Michigan Legislative Goals
SBT Tax Credit for Gift to Endowment Funds Held by Community Foundations
Goal 5 of the State Section of the Legislative Goals Statement is: To monitor
administration of the permanent community foundation tax credits for individuals,
families and businesses and their relationship to current and proposed tax credits.
With the decision by the Legislature to eliminate the Single Business Tax (SBT) at the
end of2007, the community foundation tax credit in the SBT ($5,000 or 10% of the SBT
liability, whichever is less) will be eliminated as well. In meetings with the Speaker of
the House and Legislative Leadership, I have been assured that it is their intent to transfer
the charitable credits along with other economic development credits to the new tax that
will replace the SBT. There is great interest in maintaining these credits as a way of
incentivizing corporate giving. At a meeting in January with the Otsego County
Community Foundation in Gaylord, the executive director announced to me that the
Foundation had just received a donation from a small company using the SBT tax credit
to create a scholarship fund with the $5,000 credit leveraging a $1 5,000 gift.

Michigan Inheritance Tax
The following resolution is recommended for consideration. If approved, this Resolution
will become a new Goal in the Legislative Goals Statement.

RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations oppose reintroduction of a
Michigan Inheritance Tax, which will encourage Michigan residents to move their
primary residence out of state, and encourage reintroduction of the pick up tax as
part of the federal estate tax that would place Michigan on an equal level as other
states.
Background
Repeal of the State Inheritance Tax has been listed as an accomplishment in CMF' s
Legislative Statement since 1993. However, the Governor has proposed that Michigan
decouple from the Federal Estate Tax which would allow Michigan to reinstitute an
Inheritance Tax. HB 4377 (ATTACHMENT E), the Michigan Estate Tax Act, has been
introduced to address this issue. I have met with Representative Bieda, Chair of the
House Committee on Tax Policy and the sponsor, Representative Condino who have
agreed to delay a Committee Hearing on this Bill until they can receive more information
on the feasibility of reintroduction of the federal pickup tax. Speaker Dillon also
acknowledged that he is troubled by the idea of driving wealthy Michigan residents out of
state and has requested further information on the impact of this proposed inheritance tax.
I have been in touch with the Tax Policy Center for assistance on this matter.
A pickup tax provides revenue to the state but does not increase the federal estate tax
payment the heirs must make. Instead the estate's federal estate tax liability is reduced by

�Government Relations Report
March 2007
Page 6

the amount of the state tax payment. This credit dates back to the early 1900's when
Congress introduced a federal estate tax guaranteeing states a portion of the estate tax
base. Thirty-five states, including Michigan, in 2000 had an estate tax that equaled the
amount of the state credit. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington
reports that Michigan received revenue in 2000 of $187 million from this tax, all of
which has now been lost with the changes in the federal estate tax.

IRA Charitable Provision is Increasing Michigan Giving
Forty-one respondents to a quick survey confirm that the IRA Charitable Provision is having
an impact on growing giving in Michigan. Since the August passage of the Pension
Protection Act of 2006, survey respondents report gifts in excess of $1.4 million to
nonprofit organizations and community foundations (see list of recipient organizations
below). The donors' philanthropic interests - medical research, community development,
arts and culture and education - are broad and beneficial for Michigan's citizens. And, this
list continues to grow - we hear stOries of new gifts from IRAs every week!
This increase in giving in lVIichigan is confirmed nationally by the National Committee on
Planned Giving that over $25 million in gifts made by IRAs nationally - ranging from $100
to the maximum $100,000 allowed by law. Charitable giving will continue to increase in
Nlichigan if Congress extends the IRA Charitable Provision beyond 2007, lifts the $100,000
cap and allows gifts to donor-advised funds of community foundations and private
foundations to qualify.

February- TCFN (Transatlantic Community Foundation Network) Academy- Palo Alto
In February, Donnell Mersereau, Director, Community Foundations and Executive Director,
MCFV, attended her second TCFN Academy held in collaboration with the Stanford Graduate
School of Business. The topic of the 2007 Academy was "The roles of community foundations in
the 21 st century". The topic continued last year's theme of the future of community foundations
in a transatlantic perspective with 17 community foundation executives, representatives of
support organizations and academic scholars from nine different countries participating.
The Academy was opened by a Helmut Anheier, Director of the Center of Civil Society at the
UCLA, and Diana Leat, Research &amp; Development Director - Progressive Philanthropy at
Carnegie UK, with a presentation on "Towards the Creative Community Foundation". Both
scholars presented their concept of "creative philanthropy" and discussed its meaning for
community foundations.
The concept of "creative philanthropy" focuses on the unique capacity of foundations to identify
solutions to problems, to initiate and carry through innovation processes, and to help disseminate
and implement sustainable results. Key questions addressed were:
•
•

•

To what extent do or could community foundations display the characteristics of creative
foundations?
Are they inherently creative, or do they have to become, or being turned into, creative
foundations
through specific leadership patterns as well as management decis ions and practices?
Are there structural features of community foundations that encourage creativity?

Participants discussed findings and assumptions of the creative philanthropy approach with a
particular emphasis on the questions what characteristics of a "creative foundation" were of
relevance for community foundations. The discussion also focused on the larger opportunities
and visions for community foundations within the overall philanthropic sector.
The discussion on community foundations and "creative philanthropy" was followed by a
brainstonning session for a major new book project which is envisioned as an international
version of "An Agile Servant" published in 1989. Academy participants focused their efforts in
particular on identifying core content and developing a comprehensive outline for this new
publication.

Memo to:

Diana Sieger, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, Dave Lindberg and Vicki Rosenberg

Re:

Redesigned Plan of Work Document

The Council of Michigan Foundations' (CMF) Plan of Work is primarily used to inform
the Board of Trustees about the proposed activities for the upcoming fiscal year.
Secondarily, the Plan of Work is used by management as a planning and monitoring tool.
For FY07, the Plan of Work has been redesigned to more effectively:
•

Provide a complete strategic overview of CMF's work on one-page vs. on
multiple pages as in prior years.

•

Highlight: (a) on-going activities that occur each year; and (b) proposed new
activities for FY07 by presenting them in separate, side-by-side columns vs. in one
column as in prior years.

•

Be an easy reference tool during the year.

W e hope the tighter focus and one-page format serves the Board's purposes and look
forward to any comments.
