Advancing giving. March 7, 2007 Memo to: Members of the Board of Trustees cc: Rob Collier, President Barbara Rapaport, Real Time Perspectives From: Diana Sieger, Chairperson Re: Succession Policy and Organizational Assessment by Barbara Rapaport You will recall that the Board of Trustees approved a contract with Barbara Rapaport of Real-time Perspectives, Inc. to develop a Succession Policy and complete an Organizational Analysis ofCMF. The Executive Committee met with Barbara and Rob on February 20 to receive her report. I. Succession Policy Because CMF has no policy in writing at this time, the Committee approved presenting the following Succession Policy to the Board for consideration. This Policy is based on the recommendations of Barbara and will be reviewed by legal counsel before the B oard Meeting. RESOLVED that a Succession Policy for permanently filling the position of President of the Council of Foundations include the following steps, recognizing that an absence of the President due to health reasons would be impacted by the short and long term disability policies of the organization. Within three working days of the loss of the President - by resignation, dismissal or death: • The Executive Committee of the Board shall meet by conference call, with all Trustees invited to participate, to select the Vice President Finance and Administration David Lindberg, as Interim President, and identify two current or former members of the Board to lead a Search Committee. • The Chairperson of the Board will meet with Mr. Lindberg and staff to inform them of Mr. Lindberg' s appointment and the intent to form a Search Committee co-chaired by two current or former members of the Board of Trustees. • The Chairperson will contact the candidates identified to lead the Search Committee and confirm their willingness to serve. �Succession & Organizational Assessment Page 2 • The Chairperson and Mr. Lindberg will then issue a statement to the membership and public on both his appointment and creation of the Search Committee. Within two weeks of the loss of the President: • The Interim President shall present for the Executive Committee' s approval his critical work priorities and personnel issues to assure a seamless transition with minimum disruption of services in an interim period that would last a projected six to eight months. • The Executive Committee shall meet to approve the revised job description for the Interim President and meet with the Co-Chairs of the Search Committee to approve: the membership of the Search Committee, an updated job description for the position of President and a budget for retaining a Search firm. Within one month of the loss of the President: • The Search Committee shall convene and seek at least two proposals from qualified Search firms. Within two months of the loss of the President: • The Search Committee shall interview and retain a Search firm and post the opening for the permanent position of President. • The Search firm shall meet monthly by phone or in person with the Search Committee and provide written updates to the Chairperson and Board of Trustees with the goal of providing the Search Committee a recommended slate of at least three candidates to interview for consideration by the Board of Trustees with a goal of appointing a new President by the end of month six. It is recognized that up to two additional months or an appropriate time may be needed to allow the new President to transition to CMF. RESOLVED further that should the current President of CMF be incapacitated in some way and unable to fulfill his responsibilities for a period of up to one year, Mr. Lindberg, Vice President Finance and Administration, would be appointed as Interim President by the Chairperson and would work with the Executive Committee to assure a seamless transition and minimum disruption during the absence of the President. II. Organizational Analysis In addition to the Succession Policy, Barbara was asked to and has completed the following tasks: • Provide individual and collective coaching to the management team on implementation of strategic priorities, �Succession & Organizational Assessment Page 3 • • Refine the performance review system and provide supervisor training on performance coaching, and Review and provide recommendations to the Executive Committee and President on CMF's organizational structure. In completing these tasks Barbara has: interviewed each member of the Executive Committee and the three members of the Management Team, completed Association Benchmarking for comparison purposes, conducted an Emotional Competency Inventory Group and Training for the six supervisors, visited the Southeast Michigan office and conducted a staff scenario planning exercise. While not presenting one recommendation on the organizational analysis, she has presented a Leadership Competency Model enclosed as Attachment A for the President and Board of Trustees, Senior Managers, and All Staff. We look forward to discussing this Model with the Board as part of our May Board Agenda. In addition, Barbara has recommended that any organizational changes considered by Rob include the following internal operating assumptions based on her research: • An increase in Board/Staff collaboration on strategic planning, • More internal/external integration by the management team w ith a clear distinction between internal/administrative and external member focused activities, • Centralization of facilities and office management under core services, • Consideration of outsourcing, such as in regional representatives, and • Changes in the Performance Management System to reflect the optimum flexibility provided by matrix management. Rob will now be working with these recommendations and the Executive Committee on how increased engagement by the Board of Trustees and maximization of the skills of existing staff, with possible new staff, can result in strengthened member services by the following priorities he has identified: 1. Strengthening outreach to family foundations, 2. Focusing services on corporate foundations and giving programs in Southeast Michigan, 3. Increasing communications and marketing for member recruitment, and 4. More partnering with the 40 plus national affinity groups, such as Grantmakers in Education. The Executive Committee has agreed to meet monthly between Board Meetings with Rob as he works on a plan to implement organizational changes that will contribute to these priorities. We realize that any changes will need to be incremental and based on both current revenues and potential revenue generation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On May 7, 2007, the MAF Audit Committee met and reviewed the attached internal statements. Differences between internal Statements and Audited Statements Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from Kellogg for its additional dues contribution and Skillman for the Detroit office support, it should be noted there will be a difference between the internal and audited statements for CMF Core Operations until both of these grants end. Since the goal for Core Operations is to run on a break even basis the revenue for the two grants noted above is being booked internally in the year to which it applies, even though for audit purposes the entire grant amount was booked when awarded. Grant Kellogg Additional Member Contribution ($750,000 for 2005-06 to 2009-2010) Skillman Detroit Office Support ($75,000 2006-07 to 2008-09) Additional Revenue Booked Per Internal Statements $150,000 25,000 For audit report purposes the total amount of both grants were booked as revenue in 2005-06.

Note 2: Other Grants The $25,000 is year one of Skillman's 3-year commitment to support the Detroit office. Note 3: Conference Income The Annual Conference from October 2006 generated a surplus of $136,000 vs. a budget of $ 102,000. $10,000 of the Essential Skills registration fees has been deferred until 07-08 to cover the 2nd and 3'd sessions ofthis series. Note 4: Publication Income Included in the total budget amount of $93,000 is $27,600 for Directories that will be given to the Michigan Congressional delegation in Washington, DC and Lansing which were charged in March 2007 to the Riecker and Mawby Endowment Funds. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2007-08\05.22.07 Meeting Materials\lntemal Financials.doc �Note 5: Investment Earnings The variance from budget is primarily due to the following special projects dollars remaining at 3-31-06, plus the Kellogg ECIC grant which was new in 2006-07. Joyce Early Childhood Tobacco Settlement IDA Funding 3 Year Technology Funders $334,000 160,000 593,000 218,000 Note 6: Wages The favorable variance is due to staff time spent on special projects. Note 7: Equipment Maintenance The variance from budget is due to the copier maintenance contract being lowered from $2,800 to $400 per quarter due to the reduction in the number of copies being produced. This is due primarily to the increased use of the internet to communicate to our members. Note 8: Technology The projected variance from budget is primarily due to the following items: Replace PCs - Used technology grant dollars Support for SE Michigan Office less than anticipated Enhancement to website- holding off until 07-08 Web hosting and Forum support- used technology grant dollars S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2007-08\05.22.07 Meeting Materials\lntemal Financials.doc $5,000 3,400 10,000 15,000 �Note 9: P r ofessional Services Newsclip service Public Affairs Legal - Clark H ill Miller Canfield Donor Intent - Ford Foundation Audit Fees Strategic P lanning Mise - Rapaport Consulting services Total 4,400 3,000 100 Actual 3-31-07 3,739 18,000 9,167 2 1,103 4,111 8,716 35,909 !S38,000 $100,745 Annual Bud2et 4,000 18,000 8,500 CMF Endowment Funds ~lien Fund Confer ence & M eetings Since support was not received this year from DTE Energy for the Foundations on the Hill dinner, $5,000 of the Directories given to the M ichigan delegation in Lansing and Washington DC were charged to the Riecker Fund.

During this meeting Rehmann Robson noted there were no Management Letter items to report. Below are a few highlights of variances from the prior year numbers. Combined Statement of Financial Position Cash The decrease from the prior year is primarily due to the $3,000,000 received in 2005-06 for the LTG Endowment Fund that was invested in stocks and bonds in 2006-07 (May 2006). Investments $3,000,000 ofthe increase from the prior year is due to the investment of the LTG Endowment Fund noted above. The remaining increase is due to market gains on the investments in 2006-07.

Grants Payable The decrease from the prior year is due to MAF's loss of the MDCH prevention regranting dollars in 2006-07. Net Assets- Temporarily Restricted The increase from the prior year is due to the following new projects for 2006-07, less the disbursements from the KYIP Fund of $2,602,000 in 2006-07. Grant Access to Recreation Early Childhood Investment Corporation Balance 3-31-07 $10,954,694 4,213,907 Combined Statement of Activities Member Contributions The decrease from the prior year is due to the five year $750,000 general operating grant from the Kellogg Foundation that was booked as revenue in 2005-06.

Lindberg, Vice President Finance & Administration Re: March 31, 2007, Investment Report The following Resolution is presented for consideration: RESOLVED that the March 31, 2007, Investment Report and revised Investment Policy Statement be accepted, as r ecommended by the CMF Investment Committee. And RESOLVED further, that CMF Trustee Rachel Mraz be appointed to the Investment Committee for a three-year term starting Aprill, 2007. 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), meet to review the investment performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds. New Business On May 10, 2007, the Investment Committee met to review and approve the enclosed reports. During this meeting the committee discussed or approved the following items: • • • • Revised the Investment Policy Statement to allow for investment in alternative asset categories (see attached), Confirmed the allocation of 25% of the investment pool into the TIFF Multi-Asset Fund, which includes alternative investment categories, pending approval of the revised Investment Policy Statement by the CMF Board, Scheduled a meeting to review the Commonfund Capital Partner's IV fund which closes on June 5, 2007 and includes U.S. & International Private Equity, Global Venture Capital and Natural Resources, and Agreed to explore investment consulting service providers. �Investment Report Page 2 The enclosed Investment Report is presented in two sections. Investment Performance Report & Asset Allocation The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation noted in the attached report using the following return information Asset Class S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 EAFE FTSE NAREIT Equity Index Lehman Bros. Aggregate Allocation 37.0% 9.0% 6.0% 13.0% 5.0% 30.0% Investment Performance Comparison Report In addition to the Cambridge & 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 R eport by one quarter is due to the time it takes Cambridge to collect the results from the pool participants.

DEFINITIONS PURPOSE This Investment Policy Statement was adopted by the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) to establish a clear understanding of CMF's philosophy and investment objectives. As the parent corporation of three supporting organizations, this policy also covers Learning to Give, Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures and the Michigan AIDS Fund. The purpose ofCMF's endowment funds is to accumulate a pool of assets sufficient to support the purpose of each permanent endowment fund. While shorter-term investment results will be monitored, adherence to a sound long-tenn investment policy, which balances short-term spending needs with preservation ofthe real (inflation-adjusted) value of assets, is crucial to the long-term success ofCMF's endowment funds. Throughout this policy, the reference to CMF will also include the supporting organizations of Learning to Give (LTG), the Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF). SCOPE This Policy applies to all assets that are included in CMF's investment portfolio for which the Investment Committee has been given discretionary investment authority. FIDUCIARY DUTY In seeking to attain the investment objectives set forth in the policy, the Investment Committee and its members shall exercise prudence and appropriate care in accordance with the Prudent Investor Rule. All investment actions and decisions must be based solely in the interest of CMF. Fiduciaries must provide full and fair disclosure to the Investment Committee of all material facts regarding any potential conflicts of interest. DEFINITION OF DUTIES Board of Trustees The Board of Trustees has the ultimate fiduciary responsibility for the Foundation's investment portfolio. The Board must ensure that appropriate policies governing the management of the Foundation are in place and that these policies are being effectively implemented. To implement these responsibilities, the Board sets and approves the Investment Policy Statement and delegates responsibility to the Investment Committee for implementation and ongoing monitoring. �Investment Committee The Investment Committee is responsible for implementing the Investment Policy. This responsibility includes approving investment strategy, hiring and firing of investment managers, custodians and investment consultants, monitoring perfonnance of the investment portfolio on a regular basis (at least quarterly), and maintaining sufficient knowledge about the portfolio and its managers so as to be reasonably assured of their compliance with the Investment Policy Statement. Committee Structure & Tenns • • • • • Investment Committee members shall have sufficient investment knowledge to meet their responsibilities as outlined in the paragraph above. Committee members shall be appointed by the CMF Board of Trustees. At least one member shall be a CMF trustee. Committee members shall be appointed for a three-year tem1. Committee members may not be an employee (that may cause a perceived conflict of interest with any finn or individual that provides investment management or investment consulting services to CMF or its supporting organizations. If a member is an advisor or board memben of an investment finn that CMF deals with the member shall abstain from voting on issues related to that finn. Chief Financial Otlicer - Vice President of Finance & Administration The Vice President ofFinance & Administration has daily responsibility for administration of the Foundation's investment portfolio and will consult with the Investment Committee and Board on all matters relating to the investment of the Foundation's portfolio. The Vice President of Finance & Administration will serve as primary contact for the Foundation's investment managers, investment consultant, and custodian. II. OBJECTIVES The overall long-term investment goal of CMF is to achieve an annualized total retum (net offees and expenses), through appreciation and income, greater than the rate of inflation (as measured by the broad, domestic Conswner Price Index) plus 5%, thus protecting the assets against inflation. The assets are to be managed in a manner that will maximize the benefits intended by the donors. STRATEGY The Board and Investment Committee agree that investing in securities with higher return expectations outweighs their short-tem1 volatility risk. As a result, the majority of assets will be invested in equity or equity-like securities. Fixed income securities will be used to lower the shorttem1 volatility of the portfolio and to provide income stability, especially during periods of weak or negative equity markets. Cash is not a strategic asset of the portfolio, but is a residual to the investment process and used to meet short-tenn liquidity needs. 2 �ASSET ALLOCATION Deliberate management of the asset mix among classes of investments is both a necessary and desirable responsibility. In the allocation of assets, diversification of investments among asset classes that are not similarly affected by economic, political, or social developments is a highly desirable objective. The Investment Committee's general policy shall be to diversify investments among ultiplc asset classes so as to provide a balance that will enhance total return, while avoiding undue risk concentrations in any single asset class or investment category. The diversification does not necessarily depend upon the number of industries or companies in a portfolio or their particular location, but rather upon the broad nature of such investments and of the factors that may influence them. In making asset allocation judgments, the Investment Committee is not expected to seek to "time" subtle changes in financial markets, or to make frequent or minor adjustments. Instead, the Investment Committee is expected to develop and adopt expressed guidelines for broad allocations on a long-term basis, in light of current and projected investment environments. o achieve broader diversification for the CMF Endowment portfolio, the Investment Committee ma)1 akc investments often classified as "alternative investments" w hich could include, but arc no~ imitcd to, investments in private equity, real estate, natural resources, commodities, buy out, p-tczzaninc, venture capital, private equity special situations, liquidation portfolios, hedge ~md/or absolute return, and multi-asset commingled funds, fund of funds, and other investment categories. ~n~ Asset Class ILow lllig_h1 60% 40% 100% !Equities !Fixed Incomq ffotal 80% 20% 100% 1 1 ~t the Investment Committee level a detailed asset allocation policy shall be developed as the committee deems appropriate (such as large, mid and small cap U.S. equities) and will be reviewed on regular basis. ACTIVE VS. PASSIVE MANAGEMENT The above asset allocations will be implemented through a portfolio of active and passive managers. REBALANCING he Investment Committee shall monitor the actual asset allocation on a quarterly basis and make any ccessary adjustments it deems appropriate based on past pcrfonnancc and current and expected arkct conditions. 3 �SPENDING POLICY Income available for spending is detennined by a total return system and will be calculated using a per unit measure as highlighted below. The income/unit that may be spent annually, notwithstanding the historical gift amount, shall not exceed 5% of the average fair market/unit value of the individual endowment fund's assets as measured at the end of each quarter, for the previous twenty quarters or all quarters since the inception of the fund (whichever is shorter). Newly established endowment funds shall be fully invested for four quarters before distributions may be made from the funds. On an annual basis, the Investment Committee shall examine the effect the spending policy may have on those funds where the market value has dropped below the original gift amount, and may adjust downward the spendable amount for the coming fiscal year as deemed appropriate. Ill. IMPLEMENTATION TIMEHORIWN The Investment Committee seeks to achieve or outperform the targeted expected returns, as defined by the asset allocation decision, over a full market cycle. The Investment Committee does not expect that all investment objectives will be attained in each year and recognizes that over various time periods, investment managers may produce significant over or under performance relative to the broad markets. TI1e Investment Committee reserves the right to evaluate and make any necessary changes regarding investment managers over an appropriate time period using the criteria established under "Manager Evaluation" below. MANAGER EVALUATION All investment returns shall be measured net offees. Each investment manager will be reviewed by the Investment Committee on an ongoing basis and evaluated upon the following criteria: a) Avoidance of regulatory actions against the firm, its principals or employees; b) Adherence to the guidelines and objectives of this Investment Policy Statement; c) Avoidance of significant deviation from the style and capitalization characteristics defined as "nom1al" for the manager; d) Ability to exceed the return of the appropriate benchmark index and, for equity managers, produce positive alpha (risk-adjusted return) w ithin the volatility limits set in the following "Summary of Quantitative Performance Objectives" table; and e) Ability to meet or exceed the median performance of a peer group of managers with similar styles of investing. 4 �SUMMARY OF QUANTITATIVE PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES he Investment Committee shall develop a benchmark for the total portfolio to measure the ovcm"i] iP.Crformancc to the portfolio and monitor the performance on a quarterly basis. dividual fund managers shall be evaluated based on the benchmarks as noted in their marketing atcrials. IV. OPERATING & SPECIAL PROJECTS FUNDS PURPOSE CMF is an association offoundations and corporations which make grants for charitable purposes. As a membership organization, its mission is to enhance, to improve and to increase philanthropy in Michigan. The purpose of the CMF operating and special projects funds is to finance the daily operations and support the special project work of CMF. OBJECTIVE The objective is to invest the Operating Fund assets so as to achieve a high degree of safety for the principal value of the assets, while earning a reasonable rate of return available in the market place at the time of investment. Investments should not be made that could jeopardize the flexibility and liquidity ofCMF's operations. INVESTMENT GUIDELINES Direct investment in specific securities should be primarily in US Treasury Notes and Bills. Investments are pennitted in established cash reserve conuningled funds (i.e., money-market funds) to provide operating liquidity. The investment portfolio will be reviewed by the Investment Conm1ittee on a regular basis on a schedule to be determined by the Investment Committee. The Statements of Investment Objectives and Investment Guidelines will be reviewed and approved periodically by the Investment Committee and the Trustees. 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Unfortunately, with the growth in power of electronics and the internet, the economic foundations of the US have shifted away from manufacturing (which now is responsible for less than 15% of the GDP) toward knowledge-based industries. Nevertheless, the state of Michigan has the potential to share in, and even be a driver of, the economic success of the United States in the 21st century. Other regions (such as the West Coast and the Northeast) have shown that the rapid movement toward knowledge-based economies depends primarily on leveraging the enonnous intellectual capital that exists in local, world-class universities and colleges. We are fortunate in the State of Michigan that a remarkably strong and competitive higher education infrastructure exists. Our public colleges and universities collectively draw more than $1.5 billion in R&D funding each year into the state, creating a nearly limitless and constantly renewable resource of creativity, innovation, human and physical infrastructure, and business acumen that stands ready to be leveraged to our state' s advantage. Today, the University of Michigan and its peer institutions across the state propose to the Foundation community a set of strategically targeted steps to establish a new future based on entrepreneurship that will grow alongside the traditional manufacturing economy that currently dominates and slows the economic prosperity ofthe upper Midwest. Provided a significant infusion of philanthropic and investment dollars, we propose to • • • • • Develop effective and long lasting partnerships between academia, industry, and government to leverage existing infrastructure, resources and expertise; Generate risk capital whose purpose is directed exclusively to founding new ventures within the State of Michigan; Make education and investment in entrepreneurship a priority; Develop an entrepreneurial environment in the state at the policy and investment levels; and a cultural and technical environment in our cities that can sustain new and diversified knowledge enterprises in Michigan; Create a culture of innovation in Michigan that supports a willingness to take risks, to continue learning and changing across a lifetime, and to fully develop and retain the talents and skills necessary for a knowledge economy. Our objective is to create the means to rebuild our communities based on prosperity derived from a diverse foundation of knowledge-based industries. To accomplish this goal, to literally transform the economic competitiveness of the rust-belt, we seek funding for a collaborative venture called the Michigan Fund for Innovation & Entrepreneurship. �Three strategic funds will emerge from this unique fund , built on $125 million from our state's leading Foundations. • • • A Gap Fund to be distributed and invested in two linked strategies managed by a consortium of research universities, and involving regional partnerships with the research universities, community colleges and local economic development groups. This fund will provide substantial resources to move innovative ideas in the laboratories and classrooms in our state institutions of higher learning and research into a phase that can attract substantial venture investment for new businesses to be established in Michigan. ($80 million to be reinvested) A Talent Retention Fund that establishes a context for researchers, practitioners and the business community to exchange ideas, improve and readily start businesses in the state. ($30 million to be regranted) An Entrepreneurial Education Fund directed at improving the level of understanding within the state's educational institutions about how to achieve commercial success from concept through the practice of entrepreneurship. ($15 million to be regranted) Each set of activities wi ll be enhanced by the local and regional matches that the participating research institutions will provide, and these activities will also draw s ignificantly from other private and public resources. Each will be organized through a collaborative structure that has local decision-making capabilities on a hub-and-spoke design. Given past experience with an existing coLlaborative that has engaged research universities, we can project leverage ofat least $330 million on the initial $80 miLlion Gap Fund investment, and regional matching and investment on both the Talent Retention and Entrepreneurial Education Funds that double those investments and expand their impact. Furthermore, we project that this venture will result in at least one hundred new start-up ventures in the state ofMichigan. In addition, we propose the establishment of a $100 million Co-investment Seed Fund that contributes both private and public endowment monies for investment in Michigan-based ventures that will fonn the foundation of the new economy. For the first of these funds, the M ichigan Fund for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, we propose a formal collaboration among the public research and higher education institutions that is modeled on the successful Michigan Universities Commercialization Initiative (MUCI), originally created through the auspices of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation approximately five years ago. Begun by three public universities, it has now grown to include ten university and research institution partners. 2 �The Michigan Fund board and regional partnerships and advisory groups, established as a distinct sponsored entity, will oversee investment strategies that are founded on a vision of supporting Michigan knowledge-based industrial potential, recruitment and retention of talent in the state, and creation of an environment that encourages risk-taking and deal-making. For the second, the Co-Investment Seed Fund, we stand ready to help build the consortium and advise on ways that it can most effectively interact with the Michigan Fund to provide even greater leverage, return on investment and opportunities for the economic revitalization of our regional economies. 3 �Introduction Michigan's economy and business culture are deeply rooted in traditional manufacturing businesses that fueled our country's growth throughout the 20111 century. Unfortunately, with the growth in power of electronics and the internet, the economic foundations of the United States have shifted away from manufacturing (which now is responsible for less than 15% of the gross domestic product) toward knowledge-based industries. This change has left the Michigan and Great Lakes regional economies weakened and uncompetitive on a global scale. Indeed, other regions have pulled ahead in the hard work ofleveraging the knowledge economy, building new capacities and creating new industries. In a "flat world" with its increasingly knowledge-driven economy, there are several critical steps that Michigan must take if the people of this state are to succeed in the transition of our economic base. Among these are a dedication to improving access to and readiness for college, encouragement of lifelong learning and developing resil ience, and investing in a broad, entrepreneurial (i .e., risk-based) high technology industrial sector. One clear advantage in effecting this transition is the superlative, internationally recognized system of higher education in which the state has invested since its admission into the Union. Indeed, states that have successfully leveraged the resources of higher education (most notably California, Massachusetts and Washington) have most readily adapted to the changes in the new global economic environment. Michigan will share in that success only if it undergoes a shift from manufacturing to a diversified, knowledge-based economy, finding its own path to leveraging the enormous and unique resources provided by the state's institutions of higher learning. Today, the University of Michigan and its peers and colleagues across the state propose to the Foundation community a set of targeted steps to establish the foundations of a new business ecology based on knowledge industries in the region: • Develop effective and long lasting partnerships between academia, industry and government to maximally leverage existing infrastructure, resources and expertise; • Generate risk capital whose purpose is directed exclusively to founding new ventures within the state of Michigan; • Make education and investment in entrepreneurship a priority; • Develop an entrepreneurial environment in the state at the policy and investment levels, and a cultural and technical environment in our cities, which can establish new and diversified knowledge enterprises in Michigan; • Create a new culture of innovation in Michigan that supports a willingness to take risks, to continue learning and changing across a lifetime, and to fully develop and retain the talents and skills necessary for a knowledge economy; and • Create means to rebuild our communities based on prosperity derived from new industries. 4 �Michigan's higher education community can forge the links between philanthropy and these goals. The state's universities already collaborate to invest in invention and commercialization, building on a research powerhouse that collectively conducts more than $1.5 billion (annually) in research activity. While there are many challenges to initiating successful university spin-off companies, the state's research universities have made important progress in the last five years, and have made the commitment to building a growing community of innovation and risk. Regionally, these universities and locally-based community colleges and economic development organizations will be able to expand their partnerships and focus energies on entrepreneurial endeavors and new business development. The pipel ine of opportunities created at Michigan 's public colleges and universities is already resulting in expanding networks within the venture capital community, in Michigan and throughout the nation. This broad-based initiative, w ith momentum, leadership, collaboration and outreach, will enable a new and ambitious strategy to take root at multiple levels and in multiple geographic sites throughout the state. Despite the federal and corporate research dollars on the one side, fueling basic research and early invention, and a credible venture capital community that is willing to invest in new business ideas on the other- there remain several key "gaps" that, nevertheless, must be filled if we are to accelerate the transformation onto a healthier economic footing. The University of Michigan and its partners propose today to address those gaps in existing structures and to build new partnerships to make those strategies sustainable, for the long haul. 5 �The Proposal Michigan's philanthropic community, research universities, and colleges are able today to join forces to invest strategically to achieve significant gains in shaping a new culture of innovation and risk. The University of Michigan, in partnership with other state-supported institutions of higher education, proposes the creation of a shared, renewable fund for innovation and entrepreneurship that will create a significant difference in the evolution of the regional economy. The Michigan Fund for Innovation & Entrepreneurship has three components which, taken together, will create an ecology of self-sustaining entrepreneurship and economic growth. The partnership underlying the Michigan Fund will redefine Michigan's approach to launching businesses and industries, resulting in the state taking a leadership role in transfonning the decaying rust-belt manufacturing base into a global economic force. To achieve these ambitious goals requires the rapid establishment of three investment and education strategies within the $ 125 million Michigan Fund: • A Gap Fund that provides substantial resources- within the consortium of research universities and through regional partnerships- to move innovative ideas in the laboratory into a phase that can attract substantial venture investment for new businesses to be established in Michigan. • A Talent Retention Fund that establishes a context for researchers and the business community to exchange ideas and readily start businesses in the state. • An Entrepreneurial Educational Fund directed at improving the level of experience and understanding within the state's educational institutions about how to achieve success with a commercializable concept through the practice of entrepreneurship. A companion strategy and fund focused on increasing the venture capital available for start- up companies would further leverage these angel and early-stage efforts. The universities recommend a privately-managed fund of at least $100 million to provide venture capital dedicated to companies with a strong promise for success. This Co-Investment Seed Fund would also be committed to securing capital to provide for companies that plan to succeed within the state ofMichigan . Taken together, the Co-Investment Seed Fund and the Michigan Fund w ill launch a new era for concentrated business development and start-up across the state of Michigan. We urge a launch of sufficient scale that creates significant visibility, impact, and momentum, and a profile that invites interest and commitment from the broadest cross-section of the Michigan industrial, capital and educational sectors. Hence, we suggest that the University of Michigan help to facilitate a partnership between the state's foundations, the other great state institutions of higher learning and research, and our powerful but dispersed fami ly of venture capital and creative leadership. 6 �The University of Michigan proposes today to propel the Michigan Fund from concept to full implementation --engaging foundations, universities, and venture capitalists in new and creative ways. The proposal for defining its goals, establishing its structures and funding its work, is described in the following document. To ensure that we are successful in mobilizing all of the educational and entrepreneurial resources related to our State universities and community colleges, we propose that a network of regional programs be established across Michigan. Each would be anchored at a State university, and would include all public institutions of higher learning in the region, as well as SmartZones and related entities. Experience has shown that attending to the specific regional resources and business opportunities will result in better economic development outcomes, and we believe that many local opportunities will emerge that, while not being driven by technology derived from research, may grow from other forms of knowledge, expertise, and entrepreneurial energy emanating from a range of institutions of higher education. We expect that four such regional centers would adequately serve the state, and that these would be guided by strong principles governing their oversight, clear criteria dictating how projects are selected and funded, and a central process of on-going assessment and evaluation to validate the economic development impacts of selected projects. The Co-Investment Seed Fund will require professional, external (arms-length) management to be fully successful, and will be designed in a way that allows for strategic targeting of venture investments toward well-managed funds with foci in the state of Michigan. This fund is proposed as a profit-making investment tool with the goal oflocating the most promising new ventures within Michigan. The University of Michigan has convened talent from both within and outside the state to contribute to our collaborative efforts with the foundations with the objective of defining the appropriate goals and structures of such investment vehicles. While this fund will not provide the only sources of investment opportunities, it would be expected that over time, many of the enterprises catalyzed by the Michigan Fund for Innovation & Entrepreneurship would be targets for the Seed Fund investments. As new opportunities grow (for venture quality start-ups as well as other business opportunities requiring other sources of capital to grow), the focus and purposes of these funds may adapt as required. The Michigan Fund for Innovation & Entrepreneurship Three interconnected efforts among the state's research universities will ensure the success of transfonning the Michigan economy. Each has the capacity to leverage significant other resources. Each will prove to be an important precursor and partner to the private, CoInvestment Seed Fund created by the leading investors in the state. • Gap Funds to ensure that innovations and startups emerge from early-stage university research and develop to a point where they are attractive to companies, seed funds and venture capital finns.

The impact of this fund must noticeably transform the number of viable technologies moving into the marketplace in Michigan. We propose a gap fund of$50M to be dedicated to research-based university gap funding opportunities. The Michigan Fund would also create $30M in funding to be regranted through four regional partnerships (see page 15 and Appendix I) in order to engage community colleges, university outreach, community and economic development organizations, and local SmartZones in regional gap fund and start-up opportunities. Criteria and decisionmaking processes will be modeled on existing collaborations, and expanded to engage entrepreneurial opportunities emanating from public colleges statewide. In five years at this level of investment, we anticipate that 100 start-up companies will emerge, based on experience with the MEDC-funded MUCI (Michigan Universities Commercialization Initiative, see Appendix II). Universities and their research partners could create significant impact across the state with annual funding of approximately $3M for each of the next five years. Regional regranting opportunities could be leveraged with an additional $3M over each ofthe next five years, engaging local colleges and universities in regional entrepreneurial strategies. Entrepreneurial Educational Funds for making the deep resources ofthe universities more accessible to start-up talent, and for training savvy entrepreneurs in all disciplines in elements of business development. This fund is the cornerstone of our vision of creating an entrepreneurial culture in the state of Michigan--- $15M o U-M and partner universities and colleges will raise matching funds to make $3M for each of the next five years stretch into high-impact programs invested in creating ' critical mass' of entrepreneurial energy. Regional partnerships could oversee this granting process, engaging any of the partners in the Michigan Fund in outreach and education opportunities. These approaches frame a re-tooled service mission for universities and their technology transfer operations, and for colleges and their outreach programs. They would invest in and build upon our commitment to the creation of campuses that integrate entrepreneurial activity at their core, and in our interactions with the surrounding communities. Campuses would be energized by the curriculum changes, the outreach efforts, and the engagement of a wider spectrum of potential industry partners. The statewide collaborative effort will be launched to create a sense of scale and urgency that naturally generates the momentum to move Michigan on a determined path to economic growth. 8 �Together, these programs can drive business activities that build capacity, help students and faculty pursue their entrepreneurial interests, and grow innovation that stays in the state of Michigan. This is ultimately directed toward creating a nucleus of innovation that revitalizes and diversifies the aging manufacturing economies of the rust belt region. The Opportunity In Michigan today, we have a unique opportunity to reshape our economy to better address the evolving needs of our society. Rarely in our state has there been a better time to think in these tenns: the publ ic universities, state government, industry and the foundation community all recognize the urgency and the necessity to create fundamental changes in our economic structures. This change, being led by Michigan, has the potential to transfonn the entire industrial Midwest region, the manufacturing engine of economic prosperity and growth in 201h century America. If the state's great higher education community acts quickly, strategically and as a team, there is every reason to believe that renewed leadership in the 21 st Century will emerge from a reshaped Michigan economy that is attuned to, and willing to invest in, a new knowledgebased design for growth and investment. Led by the major research institutions of the state, engaging community and local college networks, and guided by our foundation partners, this important and large-scale initiative is the seed from which to grow Michigan's transformation. 9 �The Business Plan The Michigan Fund will primarily be directed toward changing the economy toward higher risk, but also higher payoff technology-based start up companies. There are three major components of the Michigan Fund for Innovation--Gap Funds, Talent Retention Funds, and Entrepreneurial Education Funds--each requiring somewhat different oversight and balance between central and local management. The Michigan Fund, therefore, consists of all elements of the program except the Co-Investment Seed Fund. Combined, these funds will be founded with $125 million in philanthropic investment, all targeted at achieving a critical mass of early stage investment and a support system for business creation. Each will be flexible and sufficiently transparent to allow for local control, strategy setting, and leveraging, to maximize the potential success around a particular research university. This is particularly important given that successful establishment of new companies largely depends on the local availabil ity of supporting infrastructure and talent. Hence, it is important to locate industries close to the appropriate research institution that can supply the technical infrastructure, but the choice of opportunity must also draw on managers and supporting industries that exist in a "critical mass" near the new venture. For all of these activities, there is added value by working closely with regional SmartZones, local agencies such as Ann Arbor SPARK, Southwest Michigan Innovation Center, MichBio, Southwest Michigan First, West Michigan Science and Technology Initiative, Detroit Renaissance, and Automation Alley, as just a few examples. The Gap Funds Establishing a robust Gap Fund is the single most important element of our plan. Other regions that have successfully catapulted their economies into the knowledge revolution have heavily leveraged their base of research and invention. To understand the investment "gap" that exists in Michigan, the graphic below maps the progress that a new concept makes in its path from a lab bench concept to a successful and robust industry. The gap that requires substantial attention exists between the steps of Basic Research and Seed funding. The Seed investment emerges to finance a new company once the translational research has been largely completed. Filling this gap provides strong incentives for university researchers to move their basic concepts into a more practical realization, and creates significant value that will lead to investments that provide incentives to the company to set up shop in Michigan . A significant portion - $50 million of the $80 million proposed- in the Gap Fund will support inventions emerging from technology and discovery-based research, and the remaining $30 million will be invested regionally, based on other kinds of knowledge, expertise, and "know how" emerging from colleges and universities. The Research-based Gap Fund activities will be managed from a central organization that includes principals from the participating research institutions, the contributing foundations, and the venture and business communities. There must be sufficient technical depth and business acumen present within the organization to make choices among many incumbent opportunities that will optimize chances for success. Specifically, the Research-based Gap Fund will seek to 10 �~ Optimize the movement of viable technologies on a path to successful commercialization; ~ Select the best suited for investments from the technology opportunities proposed; ~ Assist in finding business partners and provide supporting resources to help university staff establish an economically viable commercialization route for the target opportunities; ~ Determine the level of funding necessary to result in convincing demonstrations of the technology for its commercial readiness; ~ Determine the sustainability of a conunercial venture in Michigan given its compatibility with existing or projected demands on local infrastructure (e.g., coherence with the resources in SmartZones, with the manufacturing base, etc.). Venture Capital Idea/Concept Development Research ~The Idea/Concept Marketing Company Expansion critical "Gap"=> The Knowledge-based Gap Fund activities will be managed by each of the "spoke" partnership organizations, as described in the next section on Fund Operations, to reflect the need for savvy, local business knowledge, and a capacity to assess the fit between emerging business ideas and local opportunities. II �Talent Retention Fund This fund is established to more efficiently promote engagement between the regional economies, public universities and community colleges. This is one of two keys (the other being the Entrepreneurial Education Fund) needed to change the culture for innovation in Michigan. It will require work on several fronts to move toward a know ledge-based economy infused with a high amount of risk capital. The principle purposes of the Talent Retention Fund will be to • Support student and faculty engagement in entrepreneurial ventures, to retain talent in Michigan; • Catalyze collaborations and partnerships between industry and research institutions to create greater opportunities for expansion and retention of talent; and • Provide common meeting grounds between the business and academic communities. This fund seeks to facilitate mutually beneficial connections between the needs of Michigan industry and the state's educational assets, beyond the licensor/licensee relationship, and to promote innovative business opportunities based on the research and expertise of faculty and staff at Michigan colleges and universities. The needs of industry and the regional economy for technological competitiveness are diverse. Our state colleges and universities possess abundant intellectual (expertise, engineers, scientists and students, patents, etc.) and physical (e.g., labs and equipment) assets that can be cooperatively employed to assist industry in meeting their needs while also promoting new ventures. The Talent Retention Fund goal is to substantially improve the ease of use and deepen the effectiveness of such linkages by encouraging collaborative projects with a competitive structure modeled after the MUCI Challenge Fund (Appendix II). This fund will provide an incentive to collaborate with colleges and universities on projects that have the potential for intellectual property development, technology transfer, licensing opportunities, business start-up, and general improvement of industry competitiveness. Examples of such projects include a company using specialized university equipment to test a product, a faculty/student team working on solving a particular industry problem, or an interdisciplinary university team helping industry to reposition a product in a different market. The projects will function as case studies to develop further effective models for collaboration. Entrepreneurial Education Funds This final element is also directed toward making a fundamental change in the Michigan business and educational cultures. Its focus is to generate a sustainable generation of entrepreneurs who will develop roots in the state. This is primarily an educational activity, and hence it must be shaped at each participating institution to meet the particular needs of the 12 �institutional culture, the region and the student body that it serves. Its success, therefore, depends on tight integration with the curricular and outreach activity at each university or cluster of universities, should these be collaborative inter-institutional efforts. We hope to build in the efforts of the Michigan Entrepreneurial Education Network (MEEN) which has been active statewide in such efforts with support from MEDC and the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation. In addition, the Zell-Lurie Institute at the University of Michigan has become a national model for participatory education in entrepreneurism that crosses the boundaries between the Ross School of Business and the College of Engineering, and the Schools of Medicine, Information and others across our campuses. The fund will • Support innovative internships with entrepreneurial businesses and fund managers; • Develop integrated education of the disciplines and business; and • Support programs to promote faculty engagement in community-oriented entrepreneurial activity. Fund Operations H ub and Spoke Organization The organization that will effectively deploy these critical investments across the state must be capable of maintaining a focus on the core objectives of the program while promoting an agile and rapid decision-making process. Further, it must take full advantage of regional resources, local commitment to the program, and business opportunities created by existing infrastructure. The organizational model proposed is therefore based on a central hub, with a distributed regional capacity. This organization must be established and periodically monitored for its effectiveness in meeting the overall goals of improving the economic competitiveness of the state of Michigan. Such a model should provide oversight and establish clear standards for success, while allowing for optimal participation by those most familiar with the specific strengths of each university and regional economy. It must also serve to facilitate the engagement and financial commitment of the regional and local Foundations. 13 �Regional Partners h ips (i.e. Community and Tribal Colleges, Public Universities, and Economic Development Entities) ( \ /50~ [~U~) \ R~sae;~ch~~~ns9ed J ~u:/ $30M Knowledge-based Gap Fund With an anticipated launch by U-M in Summer 2007, the Michigan Fund for Innovation & Entrepreneurship will have an organizational structure characterized by transparency, efficiency, and accountability. A Governing Board composed of key leaders from both higher education and Foundations will provide the overall governance, has the discretion to approve a Fund Management Committee, and will approve criteria for research-based investments as well as regional entrepreneurial grants and programs. In addition to a Fund Management Committee, described below, there would be four regional "spokes", each a partnership with the capacity to make awards in accordance with guidelines established by the Board. (A more complete description of the organization is provided in Appendix I.) 14 �Participating Organizations While the criteria for participation and will be detailed in agreed-upon by-laws, the following regionally distributed organizations are expected to be included in the initial activities outlined in this plan: • Public university • Community College *~ •• Central Michigan University Eastern Michigan University Ferris State University Grand Valley State University Lake Superior State University Michigan Community Colleges Association Michigan State University Michigan Technological University Northern Michigan University Oakland University Saginaw Valley State University University of Michigan- Ann Arbor University of Michigan- Dearborn University of Michigan- Flint Van Andel Research Institute Wayne State University Western Michigan University In addition, Michigan's SmartZones and other economic development organizations will participate in these activities, as well as numerous business and finance organizations may partner or contribute on individual projects. Some individual projects may include collaborations with the network of Community Colleges in the state as well as private institutions of higher education and independent research organizations. 15 �Managing Investment and Grants The Fund Management Committee will be designed in a consortia! arrangement modeled after MEDC's MUCI Challenge Fund Committee (see Appendix II). It will establish the basic criteria for funding awards in all Fund categories, formulating the specific criteria, application and review processes, and defining evaluation standards for perfonnance, both centrally and in each of the regional "spoke" partners. In addition, this advisory group will oversee the Research-based Gap Fund. To illustrate how the Funds would be managed, we provide an in-depth example description of the Research-based Gap Fund. Similar guidelines w ill be developed for the other funds once the Fund Management Committee assumes its responsibilities. Making Awards: Research-based Gap Funds To address the need for efficiency and agility, the fund will be divided into several types of awards, some of which may require meeting "eligibility'' standards and be managed by the university requesting the award, while others w ill require more extensive competitive review by an expert panel. Local universities and regional collaborations will create boards from within their communities - thus boards best suited to understand the needs of a particular participating organization will be set up to manage the Entrepreneurial Education and Talent Retention Funds, and will make recommendations to the Governing Board and Fund Management Committee regarding local opportunities and requirements. Fast Track Modular Awards The shared experiences with MUCI have offered an understanding of the type of requests that are likely to yield the greatest prospects for success within Michigan. A "menu" of opportunities will be established as shown by example in Table 1, with an application form that requires rapid assessment of eligibility of a particular concept. Awards can be rapidly made when items from the menu are proposed for a specific technology, as long as basic eligibility is met and the requested amount is within the acceptable range. All such awards will have reporting and accounting requirements and, as described later in this plan, an evaluation process will be employed to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to make best use of funds. Fast track awards are designed for optimal flexibility and speed: • • • Part of work may already be complete before proposal submission; Institutional or industry matching funds are required; Award cycles for these categories are ongoing and continuous, rather than organized by quarter or other structured calendar. 16 �Table 1: Menu of Commercialization Fast Track Modular Awards Expected Maximum Commercialization Step * Business plan development $10,000 Feasibility Studies $30,000 IP enhancement/freedom to practice $10,000 Market Research $20,000 Commercial Assessment $10,000 Proof of Concept $10,000 Prototype Development $75,000 .. * Defimttons 111 Appendix III Competitive Awards with Full Review Proposals that exceed the Fast Track Modular amounts require full review by the Gap Fund Management Committee. Such reviews will be conducted monthly, and application particulars regarding the format ofthe proposal, required supporting documents, and criteria for award will be available to proposers on-line. Decisions will be made in a time frame that will not impede rapid commercialization, but will also require planning and engagement by university staff in preparing applications and working with the staff of the program. Matching and Payback of Funds, Enabling Later Venture Capital While gap investments are high risk and therefore difficult to secure, there is also a limited potential for high financial returns should the technology develop and find a commercialization vehicle. To ensure that institutions are deploying their own "risk" capital to maximum benefit, we expect a match ofat least 50% for all Gap Fund awards. Since nonnal indirect costs associated with such awards will be required, a credit of 20% of the award amount will be issued toward this match. The balance needs to be an identifiable allocation of dedicated staff, facilities, or cash. The principles of payback for gap investments by the program are 1) to strive for some degree of support from revenue generated by successful investments 2) without burdening the potential "deal" with complicated claims that might deter future investment. • • For most awards where less than $100,000 is allocated for a particular technology, it is expected that universities will pay back three times the amount of the award from the annual revenues associated with the successful technology. The expectation is that at least 20% of the annual revenue associated with the technology will eventually be returned to the fund by this mechanism. For investments over $ 100,000, there will be an expectation of payback greater than three times the award amount, but related to the success of the technology. Thus, at above $100,000 the formula will include, in addition to the regular three times payback, an escalator of 5% of revenues above that amount for the duration of revenue generation for the institution. 17 �The payback will provide for a source of funds to sustain the activity into the long term. An estimation of the return from the gap funding is shown in the graph below.

There will be many elements in common with the criteria and categories of the Researchbased Gap Fund, though these elements will be adapted to the differing requirements of nontechnology licensing opportunities. For example, Business Plan Development and Market Research would be highly used categories in awards from this Fund. Likewise, the distribution of awards for the Talent Retention and Entrepreneurial Education Funds will follow centrally developed guidelines that w ill require the clear achievement of milestones. By using the regional partnerships to make such awards, we hope to foster interinstitutional collaborations around high priority local needs and the pooling of complementary resources across communities. 18 �Financing and Leverage The activities of the Michigan Fund will take time to organize and ramp up over the life of the project. Table 2 provides the plan for investment that meets the combined goals of rapidly making a significant difference to the entrepreneurial climate in Michigan, while at the same time resulting in responsible custodianship of the funds provided . Table 2: Phased Expenditures for Foundations Partnership Funds (in $MM) Gap Retention Education Administration TOTAL F2008 2010 2011 2012 TOTAL 2009 $5.00 $13.00 $23.00 $23.00 $15.00 $79.00 2.00 5.00 8.00 8.00 6.00 29.00 2.00 3.50 3.50 3.20 2.50 14.70 0.45 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.35 2.30 $22.00 $34.70 $22.85 $125.00 $9.45 $36.00 While it is expected that the state's leading Foundations wi ll collaborate in the formation of a central statewide fund, we recognize that some Foundations will have more capacity for investing in projects specific to one of the "regional spokes" associated with their mission (e.g., Community Foundations). This strategy embraces both, and creates leadership and participation possibilities across a broad geographic and financial range. As the partners within the higher education community develop their own regional strategies, it is likely that focused foundation and corporate partners will also want to participate. For example, U-M's southeast Michigan initiatives may be suitable for Community Foundation investment. Likewise, Grand Valley State University and the Van Andel Institute strategies might draw local funding from the Grand Rapids Community Foundation or philanthropic and business leaders there. We would expect that such fund ing would be available in the major metropolitan areas of the state, provided there exists a strong central core with which to provide uniformity of vision and momentum. In addition, the participant matching component of the Gap Fund provides additional resources. We anticipate significant leverage in both private and public funds within the pool of startup companies, both ofwhich are summarized in Table 3 below. We can further predict that the $50 million direct philanthropic investment in Research-based Gap Funding by leading Michigan Foundations will leverage at least $330 million in additional investment (Table 4, below). 19 �Table 3: Research-based Gap Fund leverage opportunities (in $MM) Fiscal Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Total Leverage Research Based Gap Funds 5.00 13.00 13.00 13.00 5.00 Matching Funds @ 50% 2.50 6.50 6.50 6.50 2.50 $24.50M Leveraged Funds @ x 6.25* 31.25 81.25 81.25 81.25 31.25 $306.25M * L everaged F unds consist of income attracted from other sources as a result of an initia l grant o r investment. Work done with early gap funding, for instance, should lead to larger awards from state and federal sources, and/or from angel or venture capital investors. The formula of x6.25 comes from past experience at the U -M for income leveraged against university investment. We believe that there will be comparable le verage for other, regional components of the Michigan Fund.

The proposed start-up working structure will be designed such that it will grow into the final configuration within six months ofprogram commencement. To manage this phase, the University of Michigan, through the auspices of its Office of the V ice President fo r Research, will be the start-up hosting organization. U-M will assign an interim Director and staff to manage the fu nds, and will begin implementing the legal structure of the organization through the assistance with U-M's Office of the General 20 �Counsel. Temporary space w ill be assigned for the Michigan Fund. During this interim period, permanent facilities w ill be identified in Ann Arbor to host the central hub activities of the organization. A primary function of the interim organization will be to engage other partner universities and colleges, initially starting with Wayne State and M ichigan State Universities, and to organize regional spokes from the various regional universities and colleges, the participating ing Foundations, other regional collaborators and industry. The investments and energies contributed by the educational institutions are significant: the University of Michigan alone invests more than $2 million per year in technology transfer; some $1 00 million in research on campus; and draws almost $800 million in research funding into the University and the state. The research enterprise across our public institutions is near ly $1.5 billion each year. What we pr opose her e is to lever age that enor mous r esour ce into business development and the rebuilding of our economic b ase. We also propose to engage the community outreach and regional collaborations that originate at the state's community colleges and economic development centers, and to create circles of leverage statewide. Measuring Success A program with the intention to "cha nge the playing field" must have metrics against which success is measured in real time. If the performance falls short of that performance, then changes must be implem ented as soon as practical. For this reason, we propose a set of mt::Lrics against which prugn:ss will bt: mt:asurt:d un a st:mi-annual scht:dult:, with tht: rt:sulls brought before the Governing Board as well as the boards of the individual program elements to determine future courses of action. Among the metrics to be used are the following: • Number of new partnerships • Number of ' quality' new spin-off companies • Number of placements of students in key roles in emerging industries • Assessing our cultural value: o Are Michigan universities becoming known as "partners of choice" for industry and venture? o Is our state and region known as a center for innovation? o Is our profile distinct? • Amount and adequacy of external resources attracted to lead to sustainable statewide entrepreneurship As noted above, based on recent experience with the MEDC-funded MUCI (Appendix II), in 5 years at this level of investment, it is expected that as many as 100 start-up companies will emerge from the research-based gap funding process alone. But taken together with the Entrepreneurial Education and Talent Retention efforts, a tangible change in the entrepre neurial climate in Michigan will emerge, with the result of making this state an identifiable " place to make deals" and to start new knowledge-based businesses. 21 �Conclusion In Michigan, we have a unique opportunity to reshape our economy to better address the modem needs of our society. Rarely in our state has there been a better time to think in these terms: the public universities, state government, business and the foundation community all recognize the urgency and the necessity to create fundamental changes in our economic structures. This change, being led by the state of Michigan, has the potential to transfonn the entire industrial Midwest region, the historical engine of economic prosperity and growth in 201h century America. If we act quickly, strategically and as a team, there is every reason to believe that continued leadership in the 21 st century w ill emerge from a reshaped Michigan economy. We offer ourselves and our peers as partners to the Foundations of the state, willing to collaborate and deliver results that emanate from our modest successes accomplished thus far. What we propose to the foundations is significant in scale and deeply important to our shared future. This initiative, led by the major research institutions of the state, engaging all of the public higher education community, and guided by our Foundation partners, is the seed from which to grow this transfom1ation. 22 �Appendix 1: The Organization The overall organization of the Michigan Fund for Innovation & Entrepreneurship is shown in the diagram below. The Governing Board, comprised of principles appointed from the research institutions, Foundations, and industry, will provide strategic leadership for all Fund activities. The Board w ill ensure that overlapping interests from entrepreneurs across the state are well represented by establishing mechanisms for distribution of resources from the various funds. The Governing Board will have a direct management role in the Michigan Fund for Innovation, consisting of the Gap, Entrepreneurial Education, and Talent Retention Funds, and will have an advisory role w ith the foundation and broader investment communities through its connection with the Co-Investment Seed Fund. Each regional partnership will have an operating committee and a staffl iaison to the Fund Management Committee. Mi.chlgan F'und Governing Board 4·· ... Co- Investment Seed Fund Advisory Board Management Committee· Researctt,.based Gap Fundi Regional Partnersli'llps Southeast Michigan Partnership Regional Enueprenaurtal Gap Fundi Regional Talent Retentlc11 & Business Collaboration Regional Entrepreneunal Education Structure A new entity will be developed and hosted by the University ofMichigan that allows for the management of diverse sources of charitable contributions and other resources, and their allocation to other non-profit organizations. By-laws and articles for incorporation will be developed jointly by U-M and other state universities, the Council of Michigan Foundations 23 �and a Board of Directors selected from senior Foundation and University leadership (with additional members from the industrial and financial sectors selected by mutual consent). The Board of Directors w ill also have oversight over and appointment authority for members of the "regional spokes" and the Fund Management Committee. Staffing Requirements for the University Innovation Fund While many roles related to the "regional spokes" will be filled by institutional officers and faculty who are working on projects or volunteering their effort in support of the program, the success of the Gap Funds will require dedicated staff hired to administer and promote its activities, as well as to serve as advisors and assistants in the fonnulation of proposals and business plans, the attraction of business interest in a particular technology, the provision or identification of expert resources, etc. It is anticipated that initially at least three staff persons w ill be required to manage the Research-based Gap Fund: a Fund Director, a Business Resource Analyst, and a Business Manager. The number and type of staffwi ll increase as Fund activity grows. In addition, each ' regional spoke" will require at least one dedicated staff person, who will also serve as liaison to the central Fund Management Committee. 24 �Appendix II: MUCI (Michigan Universities Commercialization Initiative) MUCI is the model after which we will model the organization of the proposed Innovation Fund. Here we describe the MUCI organization and show that its successful implementation has provided a means for rapid implementation and governance of a truly statewide alliance. MUCI began in 200 l as a collaboration between Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, to enhance technology transfer activities by working closely w ith venture capital and industry representatives. By creating this joint platform, each group was able to learn more about needs and concerns of the other members. The MUCJ Challenge Fund was established as a competitive, peer-reviewed award program that provides essential gap funding for early-stage technologies with potential for commercial ization. An Incubator Liaison helped member institutions procure incubation space and facilities, which were not readily available prior to the SmartZone system's development. MUCI also disseminated technology transfer educational materials and shared best practices through newsletters, a website, publications, and joint meetings. Since those early years, MUCI membership has grown to include ten Michigan research institutions. The early focus on Life Sciences has expanded to include Advanced Automotive & Engineering, Alternative Energy and Homeland Security, through a new $4,750,000 grant from the 21 st Century Jobs Fund. To date, the Challenge Fund has distributed $3,75 1,288 in awards lo ht:lp commen;ializt:: lt::chnologies. Many supporlt::u technologies have been licensc:J to existing companies or have become the nucleii of new start-up companies. Current member institutions include: Central Michigan University Eastern Michigan University Grand Valley State University Michigan State University* Michigan Technological University Oakland University University of Michigan* Van Andel Research Institute Wayne State University* Western Michigan University * Original partner 25 �Examples of MUCI Supported Start-Ups Originating institution Accuri Instruments I Accuri Cytometers Inc.

A business plan also functions as a way of communicating with potential investors. Feasibility Studies (for production scale-up): addresses questions of costs, times, other resources needed to build beyond prototype or small-scale production of a product for testing purposes. IP Enhancement I Freedom to Practice: beyond the initial filing of patents, IP strengths and weaknesses should be assessed, including any need to license complementary or riskmitigating IP rights in order to strengthen the position of the proposed technology. Market Research: systematic gathering and analyzing of date about the potential customers and competitors, and the market size and possible target markets or niches, for the proposed technology. Commercial Assessment: analysis of the technology to detennine its competitive advantage in wmparison to ~xis ting solutions Lo Lh~ larg~t~J probl~m. Proof of Concept: the demonstration that a product or technology is a viable solution to some problem or need. Prototype Development: conversion of a concept into a working model used to demonstrate the product/technology and to elicit feedback for further refinements. Leveraged Funds: income attracted from other sources as a result of an initial grant or investment. Work done with early gap funding, for instance, may lead to larger awards from state and federal sources, and/or from angel or venture capital investors. Payback Scheme: Financially successful projects (e.g., those that have attained licensing contracts) will assist in maintaining the Gap Fund by contributing up to three (3) times the grant amount from revenues generated. These reimbursements to the Gap Fund will be paid by the recipient institution(s) out of net royalty income, at a rate of20% of the annual royalty per year until payment reaches 3 times the grant amount. 27 �Appendix IV: Anticipating Organizational Challenges As this collaborative project evolves, it must avoid pitfalls that are common to such ambitious efforts. We are mindful of past and even current ventures that have failed to materialize and achieve meaningful success for the State. Some of the key factors and pitfalls we will be monitoring include: 1. In an effort to address inter-organizational concerns about "control" a new organization is created that is "outside" the true community of interest for this project. In this case, the risk is creating a cumbersome entity that would have neither the nimbleness nor the connection to the core technological and entrepreneurial drive at the State's major research universities. Thus, while equity and accountability are valued, to subvert the urgency and focus of this effort to appease those stakeholders who seek to fill general resource needs or enhance their perceived reputations could cause the effort to fail or severely underperfonn . Balance and flexibility must be achieved. 2. The tension between fiscal accountability and urgency of action in an entrepreneurial environment will require attention to ensure that our ability to act and take risks, the cornerstone of entrepreneurship, is not crushed by excessive reporting requirements, complicated payback schemes, or a resulting cl imate that promotes fear of failure. On the other hand, the integrity of the program is found ed on deploying resources based on sound judgments about which risks are worthwhile. Obviously, this is where the culture of our public and charitable institutions and the entrepreneurial business world may clash. Great attention must be paid to the f unctional capability of the organization proposed. 3. The scale of the project, and the effort to cover a broad institutional and geographic range, brings with it the need for complete openness and communication. The potential for "competition and gaming" within such a system must be guarded against and addressed directly whenever and wherever it is experienced or suspected. This will require complete transparency and strong and independent leadership, leadership that is totally committed to the economic development and transformation goals of the project. 28 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was 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. Collier a lso introduced the proposed Call 2-1-1 legislation at the federal level, noting a number of CMF members have been instrumental with 2-1-1 and that currently approximately 70% of Michigan has access to 2-1-1 services. T here was consensus by the Board to take no action at this time in support of the legislation, and to refer it to the CMF Public Pol icy Committee for consideration first. Special guests, Speaker of the House Andy Dillon and Becky Bechler, Partner of Public Affairs Associates, joined the meeting for a discussion of Michigan's economy with the Board. Highlights of Speaker D illon's comments included: • What should the foundations role be? He would like to see foundations team up with the state with the common purpose of economic development, �Board o f Trustees Meeting M inutes- March 15, 2007 Page 5 • • • • • • Would like to increase activity at the 21st Century Job Fund, reexamine peer review, include people from other sectors/expertise, charge to apply, Concerned about the loss of Comerica headquarters in Detroit, Need to convene businesses, foundations, local economic development, MEDC quarterly to get people in the same room, Require entrepreneurial institutes to inspire/train new business start-up leaders, Michigan needs a collective "jolt" to start cultural transformation, and Not just a capital issue- talent & leadership needed to. Speaker Dillon left the meeting. Collier briefed the Board on the background of the State Inheritance Tax. CMF helped repeal the Inheritance tax in 1993. However, the Governor has proposed that Michigan decouple from the Federal Estate Tax that would allow Michigan to reinstitute an Inheritance Tax. The Board discussed the need to explore alternatives and consider the loss of talent due to citizens relocating. 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 equalleve1 as other states. The Board adjourned for lunch at 12: 10 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 1:00 p.m. Foundation Liaison, Karen Aldridge-Eason, noted the Governor participated on a quick conference call with Funders Concerned about Michigan's Economy in January and has requested a follow-up meeting in May. Board Members remarked it is important to continue to build relationships with the leadership of the State legislature. Succession Plan Chairperson Sieger acknowledged former Board Chair Julie Cummings' work on the development of the succession policy and indicated that the proposed policy has been developed by Barbara Rapaport and Rob Collier. Trustees approved the policy in concept and asked that the proposed steps include more flex ibility in using a search consultant instead of a required search firm. Collier will amend the policy and bring it back to the Board in May. Chairperson Sieger also commented on the work of the Organizational Analysis and noted the Executive Committee would meet with Rob on a monthly basis to give him guidance/support during the process. President' s Report Collier introduced trustees and staff to offer highlights on the following: 351h Annual Conference Vicki Rosenberg, Vice P resident & COO, reported Sir Ken Robinson, has been confirmed as the first key note speaker. She introduced the Co-chairs for the Conference: Melonie Colaianne ofMASCO, Allan Gilmour of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, and Gerald Smith of the Detroit Youth Foundation.

Funders Concerned about Michigan' s Economy Andy Hastings, CMF Board Fellow from the University of Michigan Ross Business School, briefed the Board on the February 16 meeting with Dr. Stephen Forrest, Vice President for Research at the University of Michigan. Dr. Forrest shared an overview of a plan of how Michigan's research universities can stimulate Michigan's economy. Andy indicated that as part of his Board Fellowship with CMF he would be looking at other states and identifying best practices. Dr. Forrest has requested to meet with foundation leaders again in late May. The Board discussed CMF's role in being the organization that can bring the right groups of funders and other interested parties together to discuss Michigan's economy. Themes covered in the discussion included: Michigan needs a collective jolt while also addressing the issue of talent and leadership and creating an environment to be attractive and thrive. There was a helpful reminder that CMF must not lose site of the needs of members first. �Board o f Trustees Meeting M inutes- March 15, 2007 Page 7 Public Policy Rachel Dunne, Public Policy Fellow, reported the Arts Affinity Group met with ArtServe.

Advancing giving. May 14,2007 To: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Dave Egner, Co-Chair, Public Policy Committee Rachel Dunne, 2006-2007 Public Policy Fellow Re: Public Policy Report- Action Requested Since the March Board Meeting, the Public Policy Committee met on April 17,2007. The Agenda included: updates on developments among the CMF affinity groups, consideration of the 2-1-1 resolution referred to the committee at the March Board meeting, and discussion of the state budget crisis with special guests Tom Clay from the Citizens Research Council and Sharon Parks from the Michigan League for Human Services. The Committee also thanked Rachel Dunne for her year of service as the Public Policy Fellow and welcomed our new Public Policy Fellow, Jaclyn Miel-Uken, a 2007 graduate of the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan, whose resume follows this memo. We look forward to having you meet Jaclyn at the May Board Meeting - her second day on the job. After extensive discussion, the Committee refers the following two resolutions to the Board of Trustees for your consideration. Both resolutions were approved by the Committee during the April 17 meeting. RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations support 2-1-1 as an important resource for Michigan residents and therefore support federal legislation S. 211 and H.R. 211 that would provide federal funds to assist states in providing statewide coverage. Background The Committee discussed the demonstrated value in Michigan of 2-1-1 as both a planning and collaboration tool. With 70% of the residents currently served due to start up funds provided primarily by foundations and individual gifts, there was consensus that 2-1-1 cannot be sustained in Michigan without the financial partnership of state government, particularly with potential cost savings for service delivery. The Committee also acknowledged that CMF is co-hosting with the Michigan Association of United Ways in late April a 2-1-1 briefing for 30 grantmakers in the three regions of the State currently not covered: the Southwest, Thumb area, and Northern Lower Peninsula. The motion to support federal legislation for 2-1-1 passed with the understanding that the committee also communicate the need for strong support for public investment by the state in 2-1-1. �Public Policy Report May 2007 Page 2 RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundation urges swift action to ensure sufficient state and federal revenue bases to avoid further budget reductions and to reinvest in arts and culture, pre-k- 12 education, private and public higher education, environment and natural resources, health and human services, and to support reasonable growth over time. Background After comments from Tom Clay of the Citizen's Research Council and Sharon Parks of the Michigan League for Human Services, the committee had an active discussion about the current state budget crisis and whether a position should be taken by CMF. There was consensus that the state budget crisis is having a negative impact on the grantees of many of CMF members and thus will impact the ability of grantmakers to fulfill their respective missions. Language that has been approved by the Michigan Nonprofit Association's board was shared and approved for recommendation to the CMF Board. There was strong concern voiced that the resolution also include the issue of dealing with structural legacy costs, such as pensions and health care. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. May 14,2007 To : Diana Sieger, Chairperson and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Libby Maynard, Co-Chair Government Relations Committee Rob Collier, President Re: Position on SB 392 & SB 393 Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act The following Resolution is presented for your consideration and action. RESOLVED that Senate Bills 392 & 393 on the Uniform Prudent Management oflnstitutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) be supported, provided that language is added indicating that the Act will have no impact on the variance power of community foundations and will have no effect on charitable trusts that are already covered by Michigan Probate Law. Background The addition of the language noted in the Resolution comes from the Probate and Trusts Section of the State Bar, chaired by Robin Ferriby, Vice President of the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan. The Section has voted to support the two bills with the changes noted below. SB 393 is a technical citations bill that amends citations in the nonprofit corporation act. Clarification that UPMIFA does not apply to charitable trusts "Sec. 11. This Act applies solely to matters included within the meaning of the terms "institution", "institutional fund" and "person" as defined in this Act and no part of this Act shall apply to, or affect, the validity, construction, interpretation, effect, administration or management of any other trust, estate or applicable governing instrument." Clarification that a community foundation exercising its variance power does not r equire approval of the Michigan Attorney General "(5) If the tenns of a gift instrument confer a power on the institution to release or modify a restriction on the management or investment of an institutional fund or the particular charitable purpose or restriction on the use of the institutional fu nd, the institution shall have the power to so modify or tem1inate that restriction and the other provisions of this Section shall not apply to that release or modification. A release or modification shall not allow a fund to be used for a purpose other than a charitable purpose of the institution." At its annual meeting in July 2006, the National Conference of Commissioners on Unifonn State Laws (NCCUSL) approved the Uniform Prudent Management oflnstitutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) and recommended it for enactment by the legislatures of the various states. UPMIFA is designed to replace the existing U nifonn Management oflnstitutional Funds Act (UMIFA), which was approved by NCCUSL in 1972 and has since been enacted in 47 states. UMIFA was a pioneering statute, providing uniform and fundamental rules for the investment of funds held by charitable institutions and the expenditure of funds donated as "endowments" to those institutions. Those rules supported two general �UPMIFA Memo May 14,2007 Page 2 principles: 1) that assets would be invested prudently in diversified investments that sought growth as well as income, and 2) that appreciation of assets could prudently be spent for the purposes of any endowment fund held by a charitable institution. These two principles have been vital to asset management for endowments since UMIF A became the law of the land in nearly all U.S. jurisdictions. UPMIFA continues these fundamental principles as a needed upgrade ofUMIFA. Both investment in assets and expenditure for charitable purposes have grown exponentially in the 35 years since UMIF A was drafted; asset management theory and practice have also advanced. UPMIFA, as an up-date and successor to UMIFA, establishes an even sounder and more unified basis for charitable fund management than UMIFA has done. INVESTMENT In 1972, UMIF A represented a revolutionary advance over prevailing practices which imposed upon endowments the limited investment opportunities available for managing trust assets- even endowments not organized as trusts. UPMIFA incorporates a more exact set of rules for investing in a prudent manner. It requires investment "in good faith and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances." It requires prudence in incurring investment costs, authorizing "only costs that are appropriate and reasonable." Factors to be considered in investing are expanded to include, for example, the effects of inflation. UPMIF A emphasizes that investment decisions must be made in relation to the overall resources of the institution and its charitable purposes. No investment decision may be made in isolation, but must be made in light of the fund's entire portfolio, and as a part of an investment strategy "having risk and return objectives reasonably suited to the fund and to the institution." A charitable institution must diversify assets as an affirmative obligation unless "special circumstances" dictate otherwise. Assets must be reviewed within a reasonable time after they come into the possession of the institution in order to conform them to the investment strategy and objectives of the fund. Investment experts, whether inhouse or hired for the purpose, are held to a standard of care consistent with that expertise. UMIFA initiated the era of modem portfolio management for charitable institutions. UPMIFA provides the standards and guidelines that subsequent experience tells us are the most appropriate for the purpose. Charitable institutions will have more precise standards to guide them. Courts will have more precise standards with which to measure prudence in the event of a challenge. The result should be more money for programs supported by charitable funds, including endowments. EXPENDITURE UPMIFA builds upon UMIFA's rule on appreciation, but it eliminates the concept of"historic dollar value." UPMIFA, instead, provides better guidance on prudence and makes the need for a floor on spending unnecessary. UPMIF A states that the institution "may appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of an endowment fund as the institution detennines to be prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes and duration for which the endowment fund is established." Seven criteria guide the institution in its yearly expenditure decisions: "1) duration and preservation of the endowment fund; 2) the purposes of the institution and the endowment fund; 3) general economic conditions; 4) effect of inflation or deflation; 5) the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments; 6) other resources of the institution; and, 7) the investment policy of the institution." These standards 2 �UPMIFA Memo May 14,2007 Page 3 mirror the standards that apply to investment decision-making, thus unifying both investment and expenditure decisions more concretely. RELEASE OR MODIFICATION OF RESTRICTIONS UPMIF A recognizes and protects donor intent more broadly than UMIF A did, in part by providing a more comprehensive treatment of the modification of restrictions on charitable funds. Sometimes a restriction imposed by a donor becomes impracticable or wasteful or may impair the management of a fund. The donor may consent to release the restriction, if the donor is still alive and able to do so, but if the donor is not available the charity can ask for court approval of a modification of the restriction. The trust law doctrines of cy pres (modifying a purpose restriction) and deviation (modifying a management restriction) probably already apply to charitable fund s held by nonprofit corporations. UPMIFA makes this clear. 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

By building on our diverse assets, organized philanthropy can be the architect for strategic investments that promote the common good." Steve Gunderson President Council on Foundations " Investing in diversity is one of the most important ways to increase organized philanthropy' s impacts. The preponderance of research shows that when diverse communities own efforts to create change, the outcomes always improve." Peter H. Pennekamp Executive Director Humboldt Area Foundation " When philanthropic institutions embrace the diversity that increasingly defines our civic culture, they expand their access to new ideas, talents and resources that in turn enhance their reach and results." Gary D. Nelson President Healthcare Georgia Foundation " Organized philanthropy achieves its highest purposes and its most significant work when it is guided by openness, inclusiveness, accessibility, ethical conduct and sensitivity to society's growing diversity." Valerie S. Lies President Donors Forum of Chicago " By recognizing the inherent relationship between diversity and institutional effectiveness, foundations of all kinds can honor and advance private philanthropy' s most exciting inclinations and potential." Joy A. Persall Executive Director Native Americans in Philanthropy " Bringing forward the best available analysis and leadership to advance the important work of the independent sector is what promoti ng diversity in foundations is all about."

On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV), Learning to Give (LTG) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment performance for the operating and permanent endowment funds. New Business On September 27, 2007, the Investment Committee met to review and approve the enclosed reports. Since the May 22, 2007, CMF Board meeting the Investment Committee has addressed the follow items: • • • • Invested 25% of the CMF Endowment Pool in the TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (See asset allocation below). Committed $500,000 to the Commonfund Capital Partners IV fund which focu ses on U.S. & International Private Equity, Global Venture Capital and Natural Resources. Committed $500,000 to the Commonfund Capital Private Equity Partners VII fund, a U.S. focused, multi-manger private equity fund. Is in the process of looking for alternative REIT fund investments. TIFF Multi-Asset Fund was selected as a way to access alternative investments that would not be available to a fund the size of the CMF Endowment Pool. This fund has a strong performance track record over the last ten years. Cate!!orv Stocks- U.S. & International Fixed Income Real Estate Absolute Return Commodities Allocation 58.6% 17.5% .7% 19.4% 3.8% �Investment Report Page 2 With the addition of the TIFF and Commonfund products, the CMF Endowment Pool now has a standard allocation pool and an alternative pool. The standard allocation pool is rebalanced on a quarterly basis back to the targeted asset allocation noted in the attached report. The combined allocation of the standard and alternative allocation pools will be monitored on a quarterly basis by the Investment Committee with adjustments between the two pools being made as the committee deems appropriate. The combined investment return for the CMF Standard and Alternative Pools will be calculated as the various periods become available. The enclosed Investment Report is presented in two sections. Investment Performance Report & Asset Allocation The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation noted in the attached report using the following return information: Asset Class S&P 500 S&P 400 S&P 600 EAFE FTSE NAREIT Equity Index Lehman Bros . Aggregate Allocation 37.0% 9.0% 6.0% 13.0% 5.0% 30.0% Investment Performance Comparison Report In addition to the Cambridge & 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.

Advancing giving. October 12, 2007 To: Diana Sieger, Chairperson and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Libby Maynard, Chairperson Government Relations Committee cc: Rob Collier, President Re: Report of the Government Relations Committee The Annual Meeting of the Government Relations Committee was held on October 1 with participation by 15 of the 28 members either by phone or in person. The following report with recommended action is presented for your consideration. I. Update of Legislative Goals Statement RESOLVED that the Legislative Goals Statement, included as Attachment B, be adopted for 2007. Background -National Legislative and Regulatory Issues CMF Public Policy Fellow, Jaclyn Miel-Uken presented a review of recent hearings held by subcommittees of the House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee with a focus on: changes needed to the charitable reform provisions in the Pension Bill; charities using offshore hedge funds to avoid unrelated business investment tax, and charities serving lowincome and diverse populations. Her summary of the Hearings is included as Attachment A. The discussion then focused on the following five national goals. Rob Collier reviewed progress on efforts to extend the IRA Charitable Rollover- Goalll, page 6- and noted that the feasibility of having it extended with donor advised funds being included, the age lowered to 59 Y2 and the cap of $100,000 lifted is becoming unlikely. Collier noted that the National Planned Giving Council reports that more than one hundred million has been documented in new giving as a result of the IRA Rollover with the average IRA gift about $15,000. Efforts this fall will focus on extending the Rollover in its current form. Committee members will be asked in November to encourage the leadership of Representative Levin, a member of Ways and Means and Senator Stabenow- a member of Senate Finance. Dave Lindberg, CMF Vice President Finance & Administration, shared that w ith input from members, CMF has filed a letter with the IRS in response to the request for the comments on the proposed changes to the Form 990- Goal16, page 8. He noted that the IRS has already responded to several of the recommendations also coming from the Council on Foundations and Independent Sector, such as the use of percentages on the summary page. �Government Relations Report October 2007 Page 2 Mr. Collier introduced Goal18, page 9, being proposed this year as a result of two discussions with Senator Levin and members of the CMF Investment Committee and a bill now introduced by Representative Levin. Mr. Lindberg then reviewed the issue of foundations and other charities using off shore blockers to avoid Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT). Mr. Collier noted that the Council on Foundation has asked CMF to discuss with Representative Levin the feasibility of adding the issue of UBIT on leveraged real estate investments by foundations discussed in Goal10, page 5, to his Bill on hedge funds. Mr. Collier will be meeting with Representative Levin's staff at the end of October. Chairperson Maynard then introduced an amendment to Goal 13, page 7, on the issue of the federal estate tax - namely to support reinstatement of the state estate tax credit at the federal level. This change is tied to the new Goal 9 - opposing reinstatement of a state inheritance tax under the State Legislative Issues. Michigan was receiving about $150 million from the federal government as a result of this estate tax credit but lost the benefit about five years ago with the changes in the federal estate tax. Instead of advocating for Congress to reinstate this credit, a bill has been introduced in the State House of Representatives to reinstate a Michigan Inheritance Tax - repealed in 1993 with strong support from CMF. Background - State Legislative and Regulatory Issues The discussion focused on one existing and three new State Legislative Goals. Mr. Collier and Mr. Richner from Clark Hill conunented that the community foundation tax credit- Goal 5, page 10 - in the Single Business Tax which ends December 31, 2007 has been added to the new Michigan Business Tax (MBT). They noted that the addition of a new credit for K-12 school foundations in the same section of the Bill as the community foundation credit is creating complications which Senator Bishop has indicated he will support correcting by moving the new credit to a separate section of the MBT. Goal9, page 12 opposes reinstatement of a State Inheritance Tax. As noted above, HB 4377the Michigan Estate Tax Act was introduced this winter as one part of the strategy to help deal with the State's fiscal crisis. Mr. Collier noted that in meetings with the House Leadership, it became clear that they did not know about the efforts in 1993 to repeal the State Inheritance Tax in order to reduce the number of residents shifting their residencies to Florida and other southern states. He added that the House Leadership and Governor have indicated that they will not support this bill at this time. Goal 10, page 12, supports legislation to replace the Unifonn Management oflnstitutional Funds Act (UMIFA) with the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA). Mr. Lindberg commented that the changes in UMIF A have been carefully vetted by the Probate and Estate Planning Section of the Michigan Bar, chaired by Robin Ferriby ofthe Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan, and that the legislation is also supported by the Michigan Nonprofit Association. �Government Relations Report October 2007 Page 3 Goalll, page 12, proposes amending the State Limited Liability Company Act to create a "lowprofit limited liability company "(L3C). Mr. Collier explained that this has become a priority of the Council on Foundations and that a foundation from North Carolina has retained former IRS Commission Mark Owens now with the fim1 Caplin and Drysdale to work on this concept. Mr. Collier invited Mr. Tamacki, CMF legal counsel from Clark Hill, who joined him for a recent call with Mr. Owens to explain the benefits of an L3C. There was consensus that as the next step the Committee will meet again to review legislation for the L3C and a plan to obtain bi-partisan legislative support. II. 2008 Foundations on the Hill and the new Congressional Philanthropy Caucus Mr. Collier shared the March dates for 2008 Foundations on the Hill and discussed creation of the new Congressional Philanthropy Caucus by the Council on Foundations. Representative Upton is the only member of the Michigan Congressional delegation that has responded to the letter of invitation from the Caucus Chairs, Representatives Hayes and Tubb-Jones. There was consensus by the Committee that CMF should write letters to the other members of the Michigan Delegation encouraging them to join the Caucus. Mr. Collier reminded Committee members present and on the phone to promote the Annual Conference in Dearborn. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 4:08 p.m. We look forward to discussing this report with you. �Attachment A Recent Congressional Hearings on Tax-Exempt Organizations Prepared by Jaclyn Miel-Uken, CMF Public Policy Fellow 9126107 Senate Finance Committee Hearing on Offshore Tax Issues: Reinsurance & Hedge Funds The first in a long series of Senate hearings on offshore tax evasion to include the taxexempt sector, this Hearing explored ways to recoup lost revenue and close perceived loopholes in tax deferral laws through recently proposed S.B. 396, S.B. 1284, S.B. 554 and H.R. 3501- the last of which intends to relieve tax-exempt organizations from structuring hedge funds as foreign fund investments to evade unrelated business income tax (UBIT). Public pension funds, college and university endowments, and other taxexempt organizations that invest in offshore hedge funds to avoid the 35% UBIT were examined.

You may also view the hearing at http://finance.senate.gov/sitepageslhearings.htm. 9/25107 House Ways & Means Oversight Subcommittee Hearing to Examine Whether Charitable Organizations Serve the Needs ofDiverse Communities Subcommittee members learned about the demographic make-up of donors and beneficiaries of philanthropic giving and the limited data sources that inform these statistics. Also discussed was how charities and nonprotits decide to serve the communities they do. The hearing was heavily focused on data needs, Form 990 and how nonprofits partner w ith each other and government to serve diverse communities. The American Red Cross-Hurricane Katrina case was thoroughly discussed.

The Subcommittee was engrossed in learning, asked several questions about donor advised funds and supporting organizations and challenged the idea that inappropriate practices were commonplace.

Advancing giving. Draft Legislative Goals Statement The purpose of the Government Relations Committee of the Council of Michigan Foundations is to seek support for legislative changes at both the state and national levels that will help to strengthen, promote and increase foundation and corporate philanthropy. The CMF Board of Trustees approved the initial Legislative Statement on March I, 1979. Revised statements were approved September 19, 1980; January 27, 1982; May 10, 1983; June 14, 1985; Aprill 2, 1988; February 25, 1992; November 4, 1992; November 8, 1995; October 30, 1996; March 13, 1997; November 4, 1998; October 14, 1999; October 2, 2000, October 2, 2001 , September 29, 2002, November 10, 2003, November 3, 2004, October 10, 2005, October 17, 2006, and October 22, 2007.* 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 strengthen, promote and increase philanthropy in Michigan, the Board of Trustees has adopted as one of six operating goals- to advocate for a legislative and regulatory government conducive to philanthropy. In 1977, the Members ofCMF directed the Board of Trustees to develop a public inforn1ation 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 ofGrantmakers, 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. II.

NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE ISSUES 1. Goal: Maintain the private foundation payout rate at not more than 5 percent to protect the real value of foundations' grantmaking capability. Explanation: In order to preserve the "real" grantmaking capacity of a private foundation, it is important that all historical financial data be taken into consideration. History has shown that a portion of the annual return should be returned to principal. (Reilly/Skadden, University of Michigan 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 *Bolded text signifies 2007 update. Page 2 �"Spending Policies and Investment Planning for 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 support an increase in the payout to 6% for private foundations. A recommended payout of 5% for community foundations donor advised funds and other donor advised funds, supported by the National Panel convened by Independent Sector at the request of the Senate Finance Committee, was not included in final charitable refom1s included in HR 4 - the Pension Bill that passed in August 2006. As a result of this legislation, the Department of Treasury has undertaken a study of donor advised funds and supporting organizations with a recommended payout likely. 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 their 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, ifthe 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 501(c)(3) organizations that currently pay this federal tax. The current fommla is difficu lt to administer and can limit charitable giving. * Bolded text sig nifies 2007 update. Page 3 �Simplification to a flat one percent is an acceptable intermediate step and enjoys bipartisan support in the House and the Senate. While simplification is considered a strategy for promoting giving, efforts to include this in legislation in 2007 have been unsuccessful. The Council on Foundations feels it would be best to promote just one charitable incentive, and extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover beyond 2007 is the goal. 5. Goal: Prevent further efforts to reduce the usefulness of the charitable deduction and repeal the three percent floor on itemized deductions. Explanation: In 1990, after initially considering a cap on all itemized deductions, Congress approved a three percent floor in deductions. This floor was scheduled to expire at the end of 1995, but in 1993 was made 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 w ithin 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 fou ndations. Any grant from a private foundation to another private foundation requires that the amount granted "flow through" the grantee and out as qualifying distributions that are made "out of corpus" by the end of the following year. The purpose for this rule is to prevent a foundation from avoiding the payout rule by having one private foundation give to another, who then simply adds the grant to its endowment (corpus), with charitable grantees receiving no benefit. In the foreign grant context, the grantee rarely has any endowment and totally misunderstands the concept of "out of corpus." 8. Goal: Secure passage of legislation providing a charitable deduction for non-itemizers. Explanation: Most taxpayers no longer file the long tax form that permits itemized deductions; instead they file the short form that allows only a standard deduction. From 1983 to 1986 non-itemizers were permitted to take the standard deduction plus itemize charitable contributions within certain limits, but the deduction expired January 1, 1987. * Bolded text signifies 2007 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 dropped the charitable non-itemizer from h is proposed budget for 2006 - the first time since he has been President that it has not been included. When the CARE Act was added to the Pension B ill 's Conference Committee, it became evident that the non-itemizer would not survive as one of the limited charitable incentives. It was not included in the final version of the Pension Bill, signed into law by the President in August 2006. Sponsors are not being sought in 2007 for legislation to introduce the non-itemizer. 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. Independent Sector (IS), on behalf of foundations and public charity non profits, has taken the position that 50l(c)(3) and 50l(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 Federal Election Commission (FEC), and contributions to such committees are not taxdeductible. IS makes the following points: • • • 10. Current tax law already limits the lobbying and partisan political activities of these groups. The FEC should maintain its current, clear distinction between "express advocacy'' communications (those that clearly call for a vote for or against a particular candidate or political party) and other nonpartisan communications. It should not 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. 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. * Bolded text signifies 2007 update. Page 5 �Explanation: Foundations and nonprofit organizations are significant investors in the real estate market. However, income derived from leveraged real estate investments, owned directly or through partnerships, is currently taxed as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Private foundations should be treated in the same manner as educational organizations and qualified pension plans, which since 1980 have been exempt from the debt-financed property rules with respect to the acquisition of certain real property. The Council on Foundations has asked CMF to discuss this issue with Representative Levin to see if he would add it to his bill dealing with Hedge Funds discussed below. A meeting is scheduled for November 2 with the Representative's staff in Washington. 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 ~ 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. Michigan Representative Dave Camp and both Senator Levin and Senator Stabenow played key roles in the inclusion of the IRA Charitable Rollover in the final version ofthe Pension Bill signed into law by the President in August 2006. The provision is only for 2006 and 2007 and allows individuals age 70 Yz to make contributions of up to $100,000 tax free from IRAs to charitable organizations, except donor advised funds and private foundations, in both 2006 and 2007. CMF through its supporting organization, Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures, has played a leading role in the development of the Charitable IRA Portfolio distributed on September 11, 2006 to all community foundations nationwide that meet national standards for community foundations. HR 1419 and SB 819 have now been introduced to extend the IRA C haritable Rollover beyond 2007 and remove the cap of$100,000, reduce the age to 59 1/2, and permit distributions to donor advised funds and supporting organizations. Due to: the pay go rules now in place in Congress, the initial research by the National Planned Giving Council on the use of the Rollover to date, and the ongoing investigation by the IRS into donor advised funds, members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation have advised that it is unlikely these three changes will be approved and attention in the fall of 2007 should be given to extending the IRA Charitable Rollover in its current form. 12. Goal: Avoid excessive regulations on corporate giving. Explanation: CMF supports public accountability, but not excessive regulation, which would require costly administration. *Bolded text signifies 2007 update. Page 6 �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 of2002 by the President. 13. Goal: Monitor the impact of estate tax legislation passed in 2001 on creation of new foundations and gifts to existing foundations and promote reinstatement of the federal state estate tax credit. Explanation: The "Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001" 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. 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 Ta.x, that full repeal of the estate tax would annually cost the nonprofit sector $ 17 billion in charitable bequests. 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 bel ieved that nearly all family farms and family-owned businesses would be exempt from the estate tax. The 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 of the 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. This goal is now tied to Goal 9 under State Legislative Issues - opposing reinstatement of a state inheritance tax. Michigan was receiving funds from the federal state estate tax credit that more than offset repeal of the state inheritance tax in 1993- a CMF Goal. The federal credit has now been phased out and a bill has been introduced to reinstate a State Inheritance Tax. This will encourage residents to again transfer their place of residency to homes in Florida and other states. While it is the position ofCMF 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. 14. Goal: Support efforts to incorporate philanthropy as an objective of legislation providing financial resources to character education and other K-12 educational initiatives. * Bolded text sig nifies 2007 update. Page 7 �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, now through its new affiliation with The League, is assisting when appropriate national partners, such as the Corporation for National and Community Service, in efforts to ensure that giving is incorporated in new character education programs and other appropriate federal initiatives. 15. Goal: Support legislation requiring a five percent payout for Donor Advised Funds. Explanation: In 2005 and 2006, staff of the Senate Finance Committee advocated for a required payout for Donor Advised Funds, defined simply as Funds at public charities that primarily make grants to charitable beneficiaries pursuant to advice provided by the donor. This proposed required payout 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 and that university and college endowment funds make less than a five percent payout while the cost of higher education continues to escalate for students. Because the five percent payout is recommended by both Michigan and national standards for community foundations, CMF supports 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 Grass ley, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee. A payout for Donor Advised Funds will be considered by the Department of Treasury in its 2007 study of Donor Advised Funds required in the Charitable Reform Section of HR 4 - the Pension Bill, signed into law in August 2006. 16. Goal: Support efforts to make the IRS forn1s 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 of 30 990PF returns by CMF staff in January 2004 confirmed the problems filers are having with the current forn1s. The 2005 Report to the Senate Finance Committee by the National Panel convened by Independent Sector recommends that the Internal Revenue Service revise these forms. Dave Lindberg, CMF Vice President for Finance, is participating in a 990 Reform Advisory Committee convened by Independent Sector (IS), that is working with the IRS on recommended changes for a new Form 990 and 990PF. CMF filed a letter with the IRS in advance of the September 14 deadline supporting the recommendations of COF and IS, especially that implementation of the new 990 Form be delayed until the 2009 fiscal year to give nonprofits the opportunity to be ready to use it. * Bolded text signifies 2007 update. Page 8 �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 introduced S 993 in 2005 to place excise taxes on insurance contracts in which certain exempt organizations may hold an interest. This Bill received support from the Council on Foundations, Independent Sector and CMF. The issue of insurance contracts has been included in the Reform Provisions of HR 4 passed in 2006. 18. Goal: Support legislation that allows tax-exempt entities to invest in securities and commodities that involve indebtedness without being subject to unrelated business income tax. Explanation: Congressman Sander Levin has introduced H.R. 3501 to exempt taxexempt entities from Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) when investing in securities that involve debt. The original intent of UBIT was to prevent nonprofits from competing against for-profit entities in a business that is not substantially related to its exempt purpose. Over the last twenty years, foundations and universities have invested in hedge funds and other alternative investments to increase their investment returns and reduce the volatility of their investment portfolio. Many times these investments involve leverage (debt) that would subject the foundation to UBIT but based on Private Letter Rulings from the IRS, foundations are able invest in this area through offshore corporations as limited partners and avoid UBIT. The key issue is tax-exempt institutions should not be taxed on passive leveraged investments. V. STATE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES I. 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 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 continues to identify this as a legislative priority. * Bolded text signifies 2007 update. Page 9 �3. Goal: Monitor and report to the state on the use of tobacco settlement funds distributed to certified community foundations in 2001-2003 for health 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. Between 2001 and 2003 CMF distributed more that $20 million of interest earned on the tobacco settlement funds not used for the Merit Scholarship Program and eannarked annually through the Department of Career Development budget to certified community foundations for both pass through grantmaking and to endow Healthy Youth and Healthy Senior Funds. Because of the State's financial budget problems, no funds were appropriated for this effort in 2004 and 2005. The legislature passed legislation in 2006 with the Governor's support to securitize a major portion of the tobacco settlement to create the 21 st Century Jobs Fund. The balance of the tobacco settlement allocation was securitized by the state in 2007 to balance the budget. 4. Goal: Support legislation to simplify the Charitable Solicitations Act- SB 507. Explanation: Community foundations are required, as well as other charitable nonprofits, to file for an annual solicitation license. The licensing, enforcement, and appeal processes are not considered user friendly by nonprofits and do not reflect the changing cost in fundraising. The Michigan Nonprofit Association is leading the effort on this issue. Legislation proposed by Senator George is still being developed. 5. Goal: To monitor administration of the pennanent community fou ndation tax credits for individuals, families and businesses and their relationship to current and proposed tax credits. Explanation: As a result of term limits CMF staff continually work with legislators to explain the tax credit and the role of community foundations. There is an on-going effort by other nonprofit sector groups such as hospitals, schools and community development corporations to obtain targeted tax credits without acknowledgement of the potential to meet their needs through the existing community foundation tax credit. In addition, CMF staff assists Treasury Department staff to insure that the re-certification process is working with certified community foundations that cover all 83 counties. 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 w ill be eliminated as well. The credit has been included in the new Michigan Business Tax (MBT) that takes effect 2008. A new credit for K-12 education foundations has been added to the section of the MBT covering the community foundations tax credit. Efforts are * Bolded text sig nifies 2007 update. Page 10 �underway to separate this new credit from the community foundation tax credit as part of additional legislation on the MBT. 6. Goal: To assist the Charitable Trust Section ofthe Attorney General's office, an important source of information about charitable giving and the nonprofit sector in Michigan. Explanation: CMF has always worked with the Charitable Trust Section of the Office of the Attorney General. With the election of Attorney General Cox in 2004, CMF and the Michigan Nonprofit Association proposed a more formal relationship to the Attorney General which he approved. As a result, the Nonprofit Council to the Charitable Trust Section, led by his Deputy Attorney General Carol Isaacs, was created. 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 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 introduced. 8. Goal: To provide educational resources to members of the State legislature and the Office of the Attorney General on the issue of donor intent. Explanation: As a result of an investigation into the Ford Foundation by the Attorney General, HB 6351 was introduced by Representatives Dillon and Huizenga in June 2006. The purpose of the bill is to redefined donor intent as a pattern of grantmaking in the first three years of a foundation 's existence and the specification of a defined place, like the state of Michigan, in the founding documents. The bill was not considered by a committee and the founding sponsor Representative Dillon indicated that he would not support his bill. As a result of meeting with the two Representatives, CMF had two documents prepared, by the law firm Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone PLC during the summer of 2006 * Bolded text sig nifies 2007 update. Page II �which were delivered to them and Deputy Attorney General Isaacs on September 7, 2006. The first document is a review of existing laws that confirm the Attorney General does not need new legislation to oversee donor intent with regard to private foundations. The second document provides an introduction to donor intent from the perspective of a policy maker. On September 19, 2006 HB 6535 the Charitable Foundations Accountability Act was introduced by Representative Huizenga without the support of Representative Dillon. CMF indicated its opposition to this bill and provided a Media Response Statement to members should the media ask about it. Representative Huizenga indicated that this Bill would not advance and was only introduced at the request of the Attorney General. There have been no further efforts in 2007 by the Legislature to deal w ith the issue of Donor Intent. 9. Goal: To oppose reinstatement of a State Inheritance Tax. Explanation: HB4377 the Michigan Estate tax act was introduced in March 2007 by Representative Paul Condino as part of a strategy to balance the states structural fiscal crisis. The legislative leadership and governor have indicated that they will not support this bill because of the impact it will have on families of wealth transferring their residency to their second homes in places like Florida. 10. Goal: To support legislation to replace the Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act (UMIFA) with the Uniform Prudent Management oflnstitutional Funds Act (UPMIFA), including language that UPMIFA does not affect a community foundation's ability to exercise its variance power. Explanation: Senate Bills 392 & 393 have been introduced to replace UMIFA, which governs how foundations manage their investments with UPMIFA as recommended by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. The Council of the Probate and Estate Planning Section of the Michigan State Bar discussed this legislation at their April 2007 meeting and suggested two changes to the proposed legislation. a. Make it clear that this does not affect community foundations in trust form which are governed under other laws. b. This should not affect the community foundation 's ability to exercise variance power. The key differences from UMIFA, include: • Elimination of " historic dollar value" rule • Gives primary consideration to donor intent • Notify Attorney General if plan to exercise variance power (see revision noted above). • Investments should be diversified. 11. Goal: Amend the State Limited Liability Company Act to create a "Low-profit Limited Liability Company" (L3C). The purpose of this new investment vehicle * Bolded text sig nifies 2007 update. Page 12 �would be to generate modest profit while carrying on a business that serves a charitable purpose. Explanation: The L3C is a new concept: a special type of limited liability company created to enhance the flow of philanthropic investments and economic development activities such as creating jobs in economically depressed areas or supporting community revitalization. Although some states have considered adopting this legislation, Michigan may be the first. In many cases before a private foundation can undertake a program-related investment, it must engage in a complicated analysis which often includes obtaining a private letter ruling from the IRS at considerable time and expense. The proposed state legislation would closely track the Internal Revenue Code requirements for a private foundation to make a program-related investment. Once the state legislation enacted, the Council on Foundations believes it can approach the IRS and/or Congress to obtain appropriate federal recognition. The amendment to the LLC statute would require an L3C to engage only in business activities that significantly further a charitable purpose and that have only the incidental goal of producing income or capital appreciation. Given those restrictions, foundations could take an equity interest in or make grants or loans to L3Cs and have the distributions included in the 5'% minimum distribution requirement. This legislation would also benefit community foundations and other public charities engaged in economic development by permitting them to invest in a business that is structured primarily to accomplish a charitable goal. The L3C has been adopted as a priority by the COF Public Policy Committee. * Bolded text signifies 2007 update.

Succession Policy Rob Collier presented the revised policy based on the Board's suggestions at the March 15, 2007 Meeting. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, RESOLVED that a Succession Policy for permanently filling the position of President of the Council of Michigan Foundations include the following steps, recognizing that an absence of the President due to health reasons would be impacted by the short and long term disability policies of the organization. And RESOLVED further that should the current President of CMF be incapacitated in some way and unable to fulfill his responsibilities for a period of up to one year, the Vice President Finance and Administration, would be appointed as Interim President by the Chairperson and would work with the Executive Committee to assure a seamless transition and minimum disruption during the absence of the President. Government Relations Mr. Collier explained the two clarifications referred to in the Government Relations Report coming from the Probate and State Trusts Section of the State Bar on Michigan Senate Bills 392 and 393. �Board o f Trustees Meeting Minutes- May 22, 2007 Page 4 Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, RESOLVED that Senate Bills 392 & 393 on the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) be supported, provided that language is added indicating that the Act will have no impact on the variance power of community foundations and will have no effect on charitable trusts that are already covered by Michigan Probate Law. Mr. Collier updated the Board on two additional issues. Leadership of the State House of Representatives has agreed to move act on a bill introduced- HB 4377, the Michigan Estate Tax Act - as a strategy for balancing the Budget. On the federal level, CMF received a request from Senator Levin regarding our opinion on hedge funds and UBIT as it relates to tax exempt organizations. With the help ofCMF Investment Committee member, Ed Hunia, CMF was able to provide immediate feedback for the Senator and his Subcommittee. Public Policy Committee Public Policy Co-Chair Dave Egner presented the Public Policy report including a recommendation to support federal legislation on 2-1-1. He noted that while foundations and United Ways are supporting the launch of 2-1-1 in Michigan, a statewide system cannot be sustained without federal support. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations support 2-1-1 as an important resource for Michigan residents and therefore support federal legislation S. 211 and H.R. 211 that would provide federal funds to assist states in providing statewide coverage. Mr. Egner introduced the Michigan Nonprofit Association's position on the state budget crisis. The Board discussed and amended the resolution changing the word revenue to "resources". Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundation urges swift action to ensure sufficient state and federal revenue resources bases to avoid further budget reductions and to reinvest in arts and culture, pre-k- 12 education, private and public higher education, environment and natural resources, health and human services, and to support reasonable growth over time.

Our theme Achieving Michigan's Transformation builds on our 2007 conference theme and emphasizes the impact philanthropy can have in solving the critical issues facing our state . Just like bees pollinating apple blossoms, Michigan philanthropy uses its expertise, influence, knowhow and relationships to develop new solutions, supported by better policies, resulting in stronger communities. Foundations are well positioned for the challenge of transforming Michigan. If we work together and remain comm itted to Michigan's future, our efforts will be realized in a bountiful harvest of a revived economy, stronger schools, reformed healthcare, pristine Great Lakes and more. A talented group of your peers serving on the conferenc e committee designed an exceptional program to introduce you to new ideas and ways of working, build you r knowledge and skills, inspire you and provide time to reflect and connect with colleagues. Be sure to visit Resource Central to participate in a service project, learn more about CMF and its partners and to talk with each of our exhibitors, all professionals with experience serving foundations . Many thanks go to our sponsors and foundation supporters- their generosity has made it possible to offer such an excellent conference experience. Please join us in thanking them .

This is just another small way we can all participate in transforming Michigan. Here are a few ways we've greened things up: Paper-less, but not Paper-free While not yet paper-free, we tried to lessen the amount of paper used and distributed in the following ways: Biodegradable Pens and Conference Banners The bio-pen attached to your program guide is 80% biodegradable and our large conference banners are printed on biodegradable vinyl. ~ Conference Program, Learning Journal & Roster The program guide is printed on recycled paper and a participant roster was e-m ailed to participants prior to the event instead of being included in the print program, reducing the number of program pages by half. Plastic Nametag Reuse Each year, we reuse the plastic nametags returned at the registration booth after the conference. Be sure to stop by and turn yours in at the close of the conference. ~ Session Handouts Speakers were asked to refrain from printing session handouts and instead make them available for download on our conference web site. This effort improves the quality, availability and timeliness of handouts and resources and enables participants to print the handouts that are right for them either at home, the office or in the Cyber Cafe during the conference. Recycling ~ Glass & Porcelain for Beverages Bottled water and paper cups will not be used during the conference. Instead, glass and porcelain cups will be available during coffee and snack breaks. ~ Marketing Our online registration brochure viewer enabled us to print fewer brochures and use a tree in our conference theme instead of using trees to print brochures.
