A grant to "Life of Lake Superior", with experiential educational programs for youth and their parents to learn hands-on about where they live. This comprehensive learning experience includes arts, culture, economy, geography, history, natural resources and science. $3500 was granted to the Wings of Hope Hospice and Palliative Care organization in Allegan County for the Seabiscuit program that was created and designed for junior high and middle school students who are having adjustment problems related to unresolved grief. Traditional grief programs didn't reach those young people so they created a program matched to their learning styles. Professional artists work with the kids on writing projects, creating music on drums and using "junk" to make sculptures. Medicare doesn't pay for these classes but they are so successful that additional schools are requesting them. Improved attendance, better grades, and fewer behavioral issues are direct outcomes of this program. The most significant grant was the 2nd year of a 3-year, $75,000 grant to the Neutral Zone (Ann Arbor's Teen Center) for new programming at their new location. This grant was part of a larger grant (total of $150,000 over three years) made in collaboration with AAACF's Distribution Committee. This will allow NZ to focus on new program offerings to teens in the community as well as provide time for NZ to develop a strategy for long-term program sustainability. New members were very supportive of this grant even though they were not on YC when the 3 year commitment was made. Michigan Youth In Government. Through this program, the students learn the democratic process - the responsibilities of leadership, honesty, and community involvement. In Lansing, they must attend all sessions and work for bill passage or be an attorney in a mock trial. The club is led by students at the local, district, and state levels. They write bills, prepare a trial case, debate, and take on leadership roles such as committee chairs, representatives, senators, and lawyers. They also hold fundraisers to help pay for their state conference in Lansing. The experienced students mentor the new members. This year one of the youth (a senior) ran for Governor and was elected. This was truly a great example to the other youth in the community. Hastings High School SADD - The purpose of the grant was to sponsor & host a community wide Teens Against Tobacco Use training. Michigan Youth Challenge Academy: This grant paid for increased counseling services to youth that are most at risk. The grant was written by youth that had the benefit of counseling and those that still desired to get it. These young people are choosing to turn there lives around often with little or no support systems. The YAC was impressed with the extreme effort put forth and wished to reward it. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Bay Area Community Foundation Bedford Community Foundation Berrien Community Foundation Branch County Community Foundation Cadillac Area Community Foundation Capital Region Community Foundation YAC 2008 Annual Survey Report to the Field Grants United Way of Bay County requested funding for the American Dream Initiative to support a holistic program that assists parents and caregivers of elementary school children to become strong, stable, and healthy.

READY-Martial Arts Program: Funding provided to help reclaim some of the youth that have been lost to gang violence, school truancy, and general apathy within their environments through an established disciplined martial arts program. The Colon Community Park Project will ultimately have the greatest impact on the youth in our community both during the construction phase and once the project is completed. The park was originally designed as a community center, and the YAC had granted money to assist in the construction of the building, but after evaluation of the plan and project, the community center organizers determined a park to be a more viable option. Following this decision, earlier this year, YAC reevaluated the project and granted approximately $7,000 to assist in the creation of a park. The new park will be conveniently located in downtown Colon and will include basketball courts, picnic areas, a pavilion, tennis courts, walking trails, a skate park and an amphitheater. The YAC members also plan to volunteer their time to help physically build this park, and upon completion, the entire community will be able to enjoy the Colon Community Park. The Cadillac & Kellogg for Youth Committee showed their support for the proposed Cadillac Area YMCA through grant awards of $30,000 during this time period for the building fund of the Y. The survey carried out by the Youth Committee in 2006 showed a need in our community for recreation and specifically more programming for local teens. The new YMCA will provide those opportunities and many more for the entire community. We granted $2,500 to the Help A Willing Kid Foundation (H.A.W.K) to help cover the cost of medical (including insurance) and registration fees to the USA Amateur Sports Association for underprivileged children. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Charlevoix County Community Foundation Chippewa County Community Foundation Clare County Community Foundation Clio Area Community Fund Community Foundation for Delta County Community Foundation for Mason County Community Foundation for Muskegon County Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan YAC 2008 Annual Survey Report to the Field Grants One grant that has a large impact in our community provides weekly playgroups for families with children between the ages of birth and 48 months.

Last year, over 135 families attended playgroups in Charlevoix County. Many of these families are new to the area, without the support of their family and friends, increasing the sense of isolation in a rural area. Playgroups provide an invaluable service at a minimal cost. There are no eligibility requirements for playgroup participation, creating a diverse mix of families from all socio-economic backgrounds. Soo Theatre Grants - over 200 youth have been served by these grants. One of the results of the Search Institute Survey - 40 assets - showed the lack of Fine Arts opportunities for youth. These grants allowed students to participate in several summer camps and dance lessons. The Clare YAC granted money to the Harrison Summer Reading Program. This program is a great way to impact youth in the summer months. The library does a great job of finding fun and exciting things for kids to learn about in the summer. I think this grant made a great impact. For the 2007-2008 year the grant with the most impact in the Clio area would be the YWCA Chill Program grant that helped to support the cost of incentives and supplies for an anger management/ violence prevention program for Clio High School Students. The grant to the Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan for the Voices for Youth Transitional Living Program. This program provides temporary housing for youth age 17-21 that are homeless. The program helps to find them jobs, teaches them how to live on their own, and helps them finish their high school education if necessary. It has a great impact on those youth and the community because it provides them a safe place to stay while giving them the necessary skills to be productive members of the community. Gave $6,000 to the City of Ludington to finish a youth skate park. The YAC selected Teen Pregnancy as a major focus area for the 2008 grant year and as part of that, they heard from a number of agencies that impact teenage pregnancy in Muskegon County. One agency, Catholic Charities West Michigan, received a $9,605 grant from the YAC to help support their teen parent program which provides ongoing support for teenage parents. One of the most impressive things about this program is that it is open to both male and female teenage parents. The program is free of charge and helps teen parents manage duties such as childcare, schooling, infant supplies, etc. The YAC especially liked this grant because of the broad range of students that are served in Muskegon County and the idea of both female and male parents being helped. The YAC members recommended a grant of $2,300 to a Children's Mural Art Project for Cancer Survivors. This project is expected to involve 60 children in the production of a permanent "mural of hope" to express the community's on-going care for residents of all ages who have been touched by cancer. The children in our region will produce a mural to be permanently installed in the outdoor garden area at the Alpena Cancer Center. This artwork will be reproduced on a mobile banner for use throughout the region. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Grants Community Foundation for Oceana County A local camp, Camp Miniwanca (American Youth Foundation), not historically known for interacting with local youth, decided to create a Youth Leadership Institute. They invited high school youth from one of the county's school districts (Shelby High School) to come to the camp one day / month for the entire school year. The youth were engaged in leadership activities and at the conclusion of the year, led the district's 4th grade students in a day-long leadership program at the camp. Many students were impacted by this program and the camp is now expanding the program to 2 more school districts. The Oceana YAC granted twice to this program. A $15,000 grant was awarded in September ‘07 to the city of Wayne to support the construction of a fully accessible playscape. This amount was supplemented by additional funds from the Access to Recreation Initiative, resulting in a grant award totaling $40,000. The project is unique in that it is positioned to serve both as a neighborhood park as well as the playground for a school located in that neighborhood. The school, which serves children with special needs from the entire district, did not have playground equipment at the school site to accommodate all of the children. The youth were involved in the concept and design process from the very beginning, culminating in a community build to construct the playground itself. The grant award had a significant impact on the youth it serves, the neighborhood at large, and city’s policies in regard to playground construction. The project also allowed CFSEM to expose YAC participants to a broader set of foundation activities by introducing them to the Access to Recreation Initiative. The grant that probably had the most impact on the community would be the Help Stuff A Backpack Campaign that provided school supplies for 269 needy families and also supported the Newspaper in Education program for area elementary schools. Whiteford Agricultural Schools - $1250 Challenge Day grant Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan Community Foundation of Greater Flint Community Foundation of Monroe County Community Foundation of St. Clair County Constantine Area Community Foundation Coopersville Area YAC YAC 2008 Annual Survey Report to the Field The YAC gave a $25,000 grant to St. Clair County RESA to help fund a full time higher education counselor. The counselor will help students from all St. Clair County High Schools prepare for college- ACT/SAT testing, stress management, time management, etc. We have not seen the impact yet, but I do believe this will have the largest impact on our youth as public schools are struggling with budgets and staffing. It seems counselors have been overwhelmed with day to day activities and do not have enough time and resources to properly assist the students in preparing to go to college. Grant to Constantine Middle School to bring in the assembly "Behind the Faces" for students in grades 6-11, and for the community in the evening. This was a wonderful production that sent the kids some very strong messages. The program was appreciated by all who attended and received great reviews. The major topics addressed were bullying and substance abuse. The Coopersville Area Reading Bus. The program started this year and a used school bus was outfitted for library materials. It goes out to the outlying areas and brings reading materials to youth that are not able to get to the community library. It has been received well by all and its user numbers continue to grow. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Crystal Falls Area Community Foundation Dickinson Area Community Foundation Fenton Community Fund Four County Community Foundation Fremont Area Community Foundation Grand Blanc Community Fund Grand Haven Area Community Foundation Grand Rapids Community Foundation Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation Gratiot County Community Foundation YAC 2008 Annual Survey Report to the Field Grants The grant that has had the most impact on the Crystal Falls Community this past grant cycle was the money given to the City of Crystal Falls to help build a soccer field/youth football field at the Runkle Lake Park complex. For seven years, the youth of Crystal Falls have been a part of the SAY Soccer Association. The Crystal Falls area has approximately 140 children that participate in soccer yet the community did not have a field to play on until now. Granting funds to the Dickinson County Water Ski Club for jump pad resurfacing. Many area youth participate in the Ski-ters program which attracts visitors to the area throughout the summer months. There were actually three grants that combined impacted a significant number of youth in the South Lakes Area. The grants were to support Project Graduation at three separate high schools in the area. Over 300 youth were potentially impacted. SERVE (Students Enriching Romeo through Volunteer Experience) Program student lead events. We support special events planned with Senior Citizens through out the year which the SERVE students plan and conduct. Approximately 450 students and senior citizens participate in events through the year. Examples of events include: a senior prom which has featured the high school jazz band and a DJ and they teach each other dance steps from their generations; a Christmas Dinner demonstrating music, dancing and drama performed by the students & the students serve the seniors their meal; theme and game luncheons are also held. The interaction of the youth and seniors is a positive experience for all. The Fremont YAC supported a grant of $12,500 from the Youth Endowment Fund of the Fremont Area Community Foundation toward the support of "The Refuge" bike park and hiking trails. The youth were excited about having a multi-use park in the area. YAC members were particularly interested in the uniqueness of this type of park to the area, with the possibility of attracting people from outside the area as well. Because the YAC was in need of rebuilding, there were no grants made during this period. The new members that were recruited during this time period were initially invited to participate on the YAC of the lead Foundation - county-wide YAC of Greater Flint. They will start as the active Grand Blanc group and help to recruit and train new members in September 2008. In 2007, 92 Tri-Cities youth were reported as homeless, 70 of whom were between the ages of 16 and 19. A grant from the Youth Fund is supporting the efforts of the Youth Homelessness Task Force in raising community awareness and engaging local service providers to create a service plan designed for these vulnerable youth. The YGC supported a youth program at New Hope Church that partnered youth with residents of a senior living facility in the neighborhood. Together, the youth and seniors made picnic tables for the senior center to provide an area for visiting and enjoying the outdoors. Host Homes for Homeless Youth, through Catholic Human Services, was a program that received support from each of the five counties in our Youth Grantmaker program. A group of middle school art students received a grant to fund painting windows in downtown businesses for the annual Highland Festival. The scenes of Scottish hillsides and pipers connected businesses, community and tourists together for the event. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Hillsdale County Community Foundation Homer Area Community Foundation Huron County Community Foundation Ionia County Community Foundation Iosco County Community Foundation Ishpeming YAC Jackson Community Foundation YAC 2008 Annual Survey Report to the Field Grants $4,000 proactive grant based on a desire and a need to beautify local communities within Hillsdale County. The YOUTH pondered various projects we could fund that would make a significant impact throughout the entire county. Modeling our idea after a program currently in existence in the city of Detroit, called “Summer in the City Detroit”, the YOUTH opted to support our local communities by providing small, proactive mini-grants to encourage beautification projects. One of our members learned about the Detroit-based community service organization last summer at the Youth Grantmakers Summer Leadership Conference, and brought the idea back to the other members, who were very excited about the concept. This was truly a county-wide initiative, with a huge geographic area able to directly benefit. $500 per area will greatly help out some of our communities, and it has enabled us to create a relationship with our local government officials, who we don’t normally interact with in our regular grant application processes. To the Homer Public Library for a summer reading program to keep the fun of reading going all summer long with special presentations. The Youth Advisory Committee committed $2,000 as a partial down payment on a homeless youth home. Kenny's Inc, a local non-profit is seeking to purchase a home in the heart of Huron County and help troubled teens get back on track and graduate from high school. The YAC are active participants in the Huron County Homeless Coalition and this project can have a large impact on homeless teens. Providing support for a year-end "prom" for special education/special needs high school students. YAC awarded a grant to fund guest speakers (Dr. Michael Fowlin, Eric Hipple, Ben Glenn, and others) to perform before a middle and high school audience. I attended the presentation as a site visit. The messages were serious, yet incredibly thoughtprovoking and inspiring. After each presentation, the entire student body gave both Dr. Fowlin and Ben Glenn a standing ovation – without suggestion from any adults. I've never seen so many teenagers fixated and enthralled by someone! This grant seemed to really open the eyes of many students and the reviews that came back were amazing. The entire day focused on most of the important issues YAC has identified through its needs assessment. We granted funding to a local agency to assist children with disabilities to learn to ride a bicycle without training wheels. During the holidays, our YAC offered a challenge to the 17 school districts in Jackson County. Any district that held a food drive could designate a food pantry or organization to receive a $1,000 donation from the YAC. All 17 districts participated, so besides thousands of food items collected, $17,000 was distributed to organizations. This challenge not only validated the charitable efforts of youth in Jackson County, but also promoted awareness of the YAC. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Kalamazoo Community Foundation Keweenaw Community Foundation Lapeer County Community Foundation Leelanau Township Community Foundation Lenawee Community Foundation Les Cheneaux Community Foundation M&M Area Community Foundation YAC 2008 Annual Survey Report to the Field Grants The grant the group decided to nominate as a MCFYP Great Grant went to Reach and Teach Alternative High School for an afterschool remodeling project. Although those attending this school have been expelled from their home school, alternative teaching styles have proven to be successful for a high percentage of Reach and Teach students. The school recently moved into a new facility with large open spaces that needed to be turned into smaller classrooms. Our grant for $4,497.00 is for tools and materials to build walls for the classrooms to be used by volunteer retired construction workers and students in creating these spaces. The students are learning a valuable trade; the retired carpenters enjoy mentoring the students. They expect the students will take better care of their classrooms, showing pride in the work they did in creating spaces. This is a direct impact on a small group of youth who attend the school, however by giving youth who are more at risk to negative behaviors a positive experience and skill, the entire community benefits! Grant given to the Tamarack City Park Committee to purchase playground equipment for a new park in Tamarack City. Going Green Maple Grove Elementary Student Council Recycling Program: This is a pilot program for recycling in one of the elementary schools in our largest school district as a partnership with the "Green School" designation from the State of Michigan. Interest has already been generated at one of the high schools to follow this pattern. With 11 school buildings in the district, this can have a significant impact on the environment and hopefully carry over to a county-wide program which does not currently exist in Lapeer County. This was also one of the summary points from the education section of our Envisioning Lapeer County's Future done in 2007 in which our YAC President participated. Funded the purchase of the video series "The Color of Fear" which teaches cultural sensitivity. The LYC funded a 12 step program for teens. Originally the agency received funding for one group, but it quickly became apparent that there was need for two groups: one for males and another for females. The LYC funded the program for two 12 step support groups for teens battling substance abuse issues. The adult programs are not appropriate or safe places for teens to go and substance abuse has been identified as a critical issue in our community. A $1,000 grant to start an elementary branch of the YAC that teaches philanthropy to elementary students. The youth members mentor the younger students about philanthropy and grantmaking. It serves as a way to introduce what YAC is for future recruiting efforts as well. The YAC made a $2,500 grant to the Healthy Youth Coalition to fund a media campaign. The goals were: - Educate youth and adults in our community on the dangers of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and violence through youth developed radio spots, billboards and print campaigns. - Begin to change community norms and attitudes about alcohol use and violence. - Build our youth's self confidence, self respect, self reliance, resistance skills and responsibility through positive peer and adult influences. - Provide youth with creative activities and a community that values youth. - Provide leadership opportunities to all high school youth from the twin counties we serve. - Utilize youth as a resource by having them develop and record radio spots, research and design billboards and write newspaper articles. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Mackinac Island Community Foundation Manistee County Community Foundation Marquette Community Foundation Marshall Community Foundation Mecosta County Community Foundation Michigan Gateway Community Foundation Midland Area Community Foundation Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation YAC 2008 Annual Survey Report to the Field Grants A Program to bring a deaf rapper to the school. This young man awed the students with his story of overcoming the adversity of his handicap. Showing them how hard work and perseverance can pay off, as in his national recording contract. The Very Special Arts grant in the amount of $1,200 had great impact. It involved teaching special education students how to use various art mediums to create a beautiful work of art that enhanced the community. It also increased the public’s awareness of the talents of people with disabilities. They worked with multiple schools and have learned new techniques that they will continue to teach and apply. The YAC granted funding of $10,000.00 to an organization which will build a permanent skate park in the City of Marquette. I believe the YAC grant impacting our community the most was the $17,424 grant to fund "After School Arts Workshop" programs at the Marshall District Library. The YACkers were committed to offering very positive after-school programming to area youth. A grant to District Health Department #10 for the "Girls On The Run Program". This program provides an opportunity for low income girls to participate in this program to improve their bodily condition and enhance their self esteem. Big Brothers/Big Sisters: The grant was to create 20 mentorships dedicated to south Berrien County and to establish 2 partnerships with area firms to encourage employees to serve as mentors to children. "Literacy Magazine": Midland's Creative Spirit Arts Center was awarded $700 to assist with the costs associated with the publication of "Beat the Drum!” a new, student-led literary magazine. This project was initiated by a local 9th grade student who was interning at the Creative Spirit Arts Center. In addition to publishing creative writing and pen-and-ink drawings from the youth in Midland County, the magazine also provided leadership experience for the youth who sat on the editorial board, the contributors, and the youth who edited and distributed the publication. An excerpt from the grant application describes why publishing creative works by youth is so important: "For some young people, these times of transition can be puzzling, stressful, and even painful, as social systems and institutions deliver surprising and unfamiliar challenges. For students with a literary or artistic temperament, writing, drawing, and painting help to communicate their experiences both to themselves and to others. Sharing with peers helps them muster the resilience needed to negotiate what lies ahead." The YAC awarded 4 grants to the Health Department. Collectively, they supported disease prevention & several health and safety issues affecting children & their families. One project called the "Photovoice Project" has not been completed but may have an important impact. Student volunteers from local high schools will be recruited for the project with 3 goals: Photovoice gives young people 1) The opportunity to record and reflect (with photos they take and narratives they write) their community strengths and problems. 2) Promotes discussion about important issues through group discussion and the photographs. 3) Gets the attention of policymakers to encourage needed change. The project empowers youth to have their needs noted and discussed. Individual pictures accompanied by narratives are powerful messages; however, the collection and presentation of hundreds of youth pictures and related narratives all in one place (community presentation) can have a significant effect on community opinions and goals for youth. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Negaunee Community Fund North Central Michigan Community Foundation Norway Area Community Foundation Osceola County Community Foundation Otsego County Community Foundation Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation Roscommon County Community Foundation YAC 2008 Annual Survey Report to the Field Grants To the Negaunee High School for a Peer Coach Community Experience, which teaches youth to be community leaders Each YAC (Crawford, Ogemaw, and Oscoda County) awarded a grant to River House Shelter (for protecting women and children against domestic violence) to purchase toys, a basketball court, and security cameras. This facility serves a large geographical area and YAC members felt it was truly important for children living at the shelter to be able to have healthy activities that would help them be physically active, provide learning opportunities, and feel safe during their time there. Child abuse is among the issues identified as needing funding by NCMCF's last needs assessment. One of our most important uses of our grant money was the "Mock Accident" presentation. It was a very dramatic way to teach the youth of our community the consequences of their choices when choosing to drink and drive. This presentation involved the whole community. Mini-grants for educators: This grant benefits youth in every section of Osceola County by working with the schools. It also covers all age groups by involving programs from K-12 grade levels. All schools in Michigan are faced with serious budget problems. The Mini-grants for Educators program helps with equipment and materials that the schools budgets are not capable of funding. Friendship Shelter Youth mentoring: Furniture, computers and supplies, plus pay for the mentoring for children lodged at the Friendship Shelter. There was no opportunity for them to keep up. The grant to the local YMCA for equipment and financial scholarships for their summer day camp has had a tremendous impact. It may not be a visible impact, but this kind of support for working families or single parents in the summer time is invaluable. Our YAC has been providing this annual support since inception of the Y summer camp about four years ago. Summer time is a very difficult time for working parents or single parents with little kids. School may be out for the kids, but mom and/or dad still need to work full-time jobs to make ends meet. Many summer activity options in our community are financially out of reach for many families/parents. The Y day camp is affordable and they are able to provide financial assistance to those moms and/or dads (or grandparents!) who need it. Our YAC recommended funding for the Houghton Lake Little League to pay for the siding, electrical and plumbing for the new concession stand at our new Sports Complex. This is part of a "Special Project Fund" at the RCCF that was started in memory of a local Houghton Lake student who was killed by a drunk driver while riding his bike. He was only 10 years old. The Sports Complex is being funded by donations to the Ryan McDonald Memorial Fund and most of the work is being donated by local contractors in Ryan's memory. The Sports Complex will allow the Houghton Lake Little League to host regional tournaments which will not only allow our local youths to play, but will also allow teams from many other areas to get to use our complex. It will also help our local economy, which relies almost solely on tourism. The concession stand was part of Phase I of the project so that they will have some income available to help toward the rest of the project. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Saginaw Community Foundation Sanilac County Community Foundation Schoolcraft County Community Foundation Shiawassee Community Foundation South Haven Community Foundation Southeast Ottawa Community Foundation Sparta Community Foundation St. Ignace Area Community Foundation Straits Area Community Foundation Sturgis Area Community Foundation YAC 2008 Annual Survey Report to the Field Grants I think the Youth Farm Stand Project had the most impact. FORCE made a grant to a neighborhood coalition that built a community garden. It was planted and grown by youth. After the vegetables were ready to pick, students sold them at the Farmer's Market. They had a prime location there where they got to share the story of their success, which came to them at a huge cost. Soon after the garden was planted, it was vandalized. The story in the newspaper talked about how the kids were upset, but that they weren't going to stay down. With several community members stepping up with new donations, the youth restored their garden and saw great results! M.O.V.E. Program which was awarded to the Sanilac County ISD to purchase equipment to assist severely handicapped students to become more independently mobile. Although this program assists a small number of young people, the impact it has had on those lives has been tremendous. Central Park Grant - $2,000.00 grant which was matched $6,000.00. Development of Central Park in Manistique that will serve all of Schoolcraft County. Youth will finally have facilities to swim, fish, play tennis, basketball, shoot archery, etc. The summer pantry grants for our American Red Cross helped in addressing the growing demand for food for those in need during the summer (not just during the holidays). Youth and Company, a summer park program. To provide scholarships to participate in the Miles for Mentoring 5K and a Mentoring Weekend. These events recruited new mentors for unmatched youth and provided activities for mentoring matches in Southeast Ottawa. To target 1st through 3rd grade free or reduced lunch students who are significantly below grade level in reading, writing, and spelling but do not qualify for special education services and who attend a Sparta Public Schools. A grant to the city St. Ignace for new tennis courts. The courts were in major disrepair and are widely used by everyone in the community. YAC awarded a mini-grant to the special education program at Wolverine Community Schools called "Bringing the Classics to Life". The grant provided funding for classic books that were adapted in a way that would make them easier to read and comprehend for special education students. To date, this was the first grant YAC had awarded to this population of youth. Grant to Sturgis Middle School for a program called "Be the Change: Challenge Day"-all 7th graders in our community attended this 2 day program which addressed issues such as bullying; racial issues; violence; substance abuse etc. Parent and adult volunteers from the community also participated and the program was extraordinarily well received by everyone involved. It includes follow up via the group's website to keep the students focused on the changes discovered through the program. �YAC 2008 Annual Survey YAC examples of high-impact and creative grantmaking: Community Foundation Grants The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area Our YAC identified the Lakeshore Honors Basketball League as their "Great Grant" for the CMF YAC Conference and I also think that this grant has had, and will continue to have, a tremendous impact on youth in our area. The Lakeshore Honors Basketball League offers at-risk youth the opportunity to participate in a team sport while removing many of the barriers that often stand in the way of their participating in team sports through the school system. Being a member of one of the League's teams provides young people with a peer support group that will challenge them to do their best on and off the court, connects them with the positive influence of coaches who care about them and serve as role models, and helps them to develop a healthy sense of identity and self-worth. The Lakeshore Honors Basketball League seeks to ensure that every youth has access to the team sports experience and the benefits that can develop out of that experience. A project entitled "Oceans Alive!" was granted to Kingston Elementary School. The grant totaling $2,450.00 helped to bring a salt water ocean into the elementary school which had a positive learning impact on 360 children in the building. A 100 gallon salt water fish tank was purchased and filled with angelfish, scallops and all kinds of unique and amazing ocean fish. Students no longer have to wonder what an ocean looks like; they can see it in the 4th grade classroom of Mr. Lane Walker. This joint effort with the community foundation YAC included a local bank, parent teacher organization and local business. These organizations made this special project come to life. A grant was made to Planned Parenthood to impact the rate of teen pregnancy.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) is a membership organization of foundations and corporate giving programs with a mission to strengthen, promote and increase philanthropy in the State of Michigan. In order to assure that CMF operates in the highest ethical standards, much of the Board's oversight occurs through the standing committees of the Board, such as the Audit Committee. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Trustees in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities by overseeing CMF's financial reporting and public disclosure activities. The Audit Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are to: Assist Board oversight of (I) the integrity of CMF's financial statements, (2) CMF's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) the independent auditor's qualifications and independence, and (4) the perfonnance of the CMF's independent auditors. The Audit Committee will fulfill these responsibilities primarily by carrying out the activities specified in Section IV ofthis Charter. The Audit Committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board of Trustees, shall be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of any independent auditor employed by CMF (including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work, and each such independent auditor shall report directly to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall have the authority to retain, without prior pennission from the Board or management, special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Committee, provided the fees for those services are reasonable. CMF shall provide for appropriate funding, as detem1ined by the Audit Committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board of Trustees, for payment of compensation to any advisors employed by the Committee. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Audit\Charter 12- ll-06.doc �II. COMPOSITION The members of the Audit Committee shall be elected by the Board and shall serve for a period of time not to exceed their maximum tenn as trustee ofCMF or its supporting organizations. At a minimum the committee shall consist of four members - one trustee from both Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures and the Michigan AIDS Fund and hvo from the Council of Michigan Foundations. A. Independence The Audit Committee shall be comprised of four or more members each of whom shall have been affirmatively determined by the Board to be independent. B. Financial Literacy and Expertise Each member of the Audit Committee shall be financially literate; as such qualification is interpreted by CMF's Board of Trustees in its business judgment, or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Audit Committee. III. MEETINGS The Audit Committee shall meet at least three times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate.

Advancing giving. Date: February 1, 2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Robert Collier David Lindberg RE: CMF 2008-09 Proposed Budget The following Resolution is presented fo r your consideration and approval. RESOLVED, that the 2008-09 CMF Core Services and Endowment Funds Budgets, as recommended by the Audits and Executive Committees, be approved. CMF Core Member Services Revenue Note 1: Membership Investment Based on payments received through I2-3I-07 it appears membership will total $971,000 for 2007-08, which is the fourth year of the current dues structure. Revenue is budgeted to increase in the new fiscal year due to the following items: Increase in members' asset levels Net new members II @ $900 each Total 25,000 IO,OOO $35,000 Note 2: Additional Member Contributions The major share of this category continues to be the $150,000 contribution from Kellogg, a five year $150,000/yr grant that expires at the end of2009-10. Note 3: Other Grants In November 2005 CMF received a 3-year $25,000/yr grant from The Skillman Foundation to support the occupancy cost for the Southeast Michigan office. 2008-09 represents the final year of this grant. �Note 4: Conference & Meetings As of 12-31-07 the October 2007 Annual Conference in Dearborn, will generate a surplus of$80,000-$85,000, which is down from the $139,000 surplus generated by the Kalamazoo October 2006 Annual Conference. The primary reason for the decrease is due to the increased food and A V costs in Dearborn that were approximately 50% higher than Kalamazoo. The October 2008 Annual Conference has been budgeted to generate a surplus of $ 123,000. The increase from the prior year is due to the following meetings: Being an Effective Board Chair Building Your Advocacy Eye Q Four Connecting Point Philanthropy Round Tables Storytelling iSchool Family Foundation Retreat - Mackinac Island increased costs and registration fees $4,500 3,900 3,400 2,600 4,800 6,400 26,000 Note 5: Publications Income The fall of2008 would nonnally be the time for publishing the next edition (161h) of the Michigan Foundation Directory. After looking at the current inventory as of 12-31-07 (600 from the originall,35~ produced) stan-recommends the next edition (l61h) be produced in late spring or early summer 2009. This delay should allow the current edition to be sold at full price longer than originally anticipated thus increasing the total profit. By delaying the next release date, it may create more interest for the next edition. Note 6: Investment Earnings 2008-09 is the first year that spendable income is available from the Core Services Endowment Fund. The earnings from operating funds are anticipated to decrease slightly due to the anticipated reduction in special projects. �Expenses Note 7: Wages & Benefits A 4% overall wage increase has been budgeted for 2008-09. The increase from 2007-08 is due to the following: 4% Wage Increase (includes FICA and retirement) 13% Health Insurance Increase Reduction in admin for special projects Foundation Liaison, project ends 9-30-08 ECIC not budgeted 08-09 Director of Corporate Services hired late 07-08 Increase staff allocations to CF Endow and MCFV Dir of Tech. & VP of Finance 07-08 staff reductions that did not take place until July 2007 Staff allocations to Philanthropy 3D and Diversity Projects new 08-09 $36,000 8,500 4,000 10,000 44,000 (26,500) (30,000) (35,000) Note 8: Technology Additional costs for 2008-09: Replace 1/3 of desktops Blog software Mass Email software 5,000 2,000 2,400 Note 9: Communications/Publications The reduction from the prior year is due to completion ofthe work of the media relations consultant hired in 07-08 to make recommendations on how to expand media relations at CMF. Note 10: Professional & Contracted Services The decrease from the prior year is due to the completion ofthe work of Sandy Ulsh in 07-08, who conducted interviews with corporate members about services they would like from CMF.

The Audit Committee shall be appointed by the Chairman with the approval or subsequent ratification of the Board and shall be comprised of four or more members, ea ch of whom shall have been affirmatively determined by the Board to be independent. The Audit Committee will assist the Board of Trustees in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities by overseeing the corporation' s financial reporting and public disclosure activities as described in the Audit Committee Charter as adopted by the Board and amended from time to time. The Audit Committee charter was last reviewed in February 2007 and is attached to this resolution. Background Lloyd Yeo, a member of the Audit Committee and CMF Trustee, has recommended that the CMF Board consider making the Audit Committee a standing committee in the Bylaws. Mr. Yeo feels it is appropriate to take this step with the increased pressure from Congress, the IRS and the public on accountability and stewardship by both the business and nonprofit sectors that started with the passing of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Attached is Article V. Committees from the Bylaws that specifies the Executive, Governance, Supporting Organization and M ichigan Community Foundation Youth Project as the four permanent standing committees of CMF. Also attached is the Board approved Charter for the Audit Committee.

Note 2: Other Grants The C.S. Mott Foundation has made a $6,500 grant for travel outside of Michigan to support community foundation activities that are not directly related to CMF member foundations. This travel includes international community foundation and national work that supports the field in general.

Community foundations with assets between $15 and $100 million are eligible to receive Bill's support in the event they lose their key FIMS operator. The amount of support will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Computers Grants In 2007-08 a grant will be made to the Community Foundation for the Upper Peninsula (CFUP) to help match CFUP funds for technology replacement costs for the FIMS hub which processes the financial information for several community foundations including three in the Lower Peninsula.

Advancing giving. February 2, 2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President, Education, Communications External Relations Rob Collier and Dave Lindberg Cc: Carol Goss, Chairperson, Governance Committee Re: Transforming M ichigan Philanthropy Through Diversity & Inclusion We are excited to share the progress made since the October 2007 Board Meeting and ask for approval of the following Resolution adopting the five-year initiative to Transfonn Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity and Inclusion. Since the October Board meeting, which included the presentation by Henry Ramos, director, Diversity in Ph ilanthropy Project (DPP), key results include: • A $150,000 grant from The Kresge Foundation for year one with an invitation to submit annual requests for renewal funding • Agreement to serve as the core research & development partner for DPP • Invitations to: submit a $150,000 year-one proposal to the Mott Foundation; submit letters of inquiry to the Arcus and Skillman Foundations and the Fetzer Institute; and have a second meeting with key staff of the Kellogg Foundation. • Vicki Rosenberg' s appointment to the Council on Foundations' Advisory Council on Inclusion. RESOLVED that C MF undertake a five-year initiative to become a model regional association and resource for the national field of organized philanthropy by: institutionalizing diversity and inclusion throughout all aspects of staffing, operations, governance, membership, member services/programs; and sharing lessons learned/best practices with the network of regional associations of grantmakers nationwide and other key partners like the Council on Foundations. Background CMF's goal for its work on diversity and inclusion is to increase the effectiveness and accountability of organized philanthropy in Michigan. Objectives and key strategies are: 1. For CMF to become a model regional association and national resource by: institutionalizing diversity and inclusion throughout all aspects of staffing, operations, governance, membership, member services/programs; and sharing lessons learned/best practices with the network of 32 regional associations. 2. For 15 member foundations to commit to and make substantial strides toward institutionalizing diversity and inclusion by: recruiting members and facilitating a training, coaching and technical assistance program 3. To increase CMF members' awareness, understanding and action in diversity and inclusion by: providing programs and services �Diversity & Inclusion Report February 2008 Page 2 4. To increase the diversity of foundation staff and executives through a strategy to be developed year one. 2008 Priorities are: • • • • • • Convening the Governance Committee which will serve as advisors. New members will be added to this Committee which is chaired by CMF trustee Carol Goss Hiring consultants and a new Manager of Diversity Collecting baseline data including: o Demographics of member foundation staff and trustees using a Foundation Center survey instrument developed for DPP - this is the second state pilot o CMF staff, trustee and vendor demographics and attitudes and perceptions through surveys, interviews and audits o Current practices among CMF members through interviews Designing and initiating an internal and external communications strategy including: o Articles in CMF electronic and print publications o COF and CMF annual conference sessions with DPP o Content on the CMF and DPP websites Initiating education, outreach and knowledge development activities including: o A CEO Focus Group with Mary Ellen Capek in spring 2008 o A Cultural Competency Institute for Grantmakers co-sponsored with the Alliance for Nonprofit Management on July 9, 2008 in Dearborn o A Knowledge Symposium co-sponsored with DPP in November 2008 for CMf staff, trustees, members, partners and experts o A training/coaching/peer learning program for six CMF member foundations Research and development on: o A vetting process to identify "gold standard" knowledge and human resources o A distribution system for "gold standard" resources o A strategy for recruiting, retaining and developing diverse individuals to careers in philanthropy It is important to state that this is not a new issue for organized philanthropy. Since 1980, the field has examined and debated the rationale for diversity and inclusion in response to: • changing demographics of our nation and communities served by foundations • recognition of the connection between understanding the unique perspectives of communities served and effective strategies for addressing their needs • pressure from Congress and the media for greater accountability, transparency, effectiveness and impact • encouragement and support from infrastructure organizations such as CMF. Phase One CMF Activities: 2001-2007 In 2001 CMF made diversity and inclusion a priority for its Strategic Planning process resulting in the 2002 Board Resolution on Diversity & Inclusion. That resolution catalyzed work which resulted in: • Board/member engagement in a 2003 Planning Retreat and 2006 focus groups • Diversity and inclusion as one of the Guiding Principle for membership (2004) • A Cultural Competency Plan (2006) �Diversity & Inclusion Report February 20 08 Page 3 • • • A cultural competency goal for the annual conference (introduced 2006) Education programs and dedicated annual conference sessions (2006) The updated Board resolution on Inclusion (2006) Board Resolution on Inclusion, 2006 "RESOLVED that the CMF Board and staff strive to model and promote inclusion as a means to serve and strengthen the work of a diverse membership by working to: (1) Create an inclusive environment in which individuals/grantmakers from different national origins, ethnicities, races, cultures, generations, religions, economic backgrounds and sexual orientations, and with different skills, abilities, lifestyles and beliefs are respected, valued and encouraged to participate; Be governed by a diverse Board of Trustees, and attract and retain diverse staff members; Understand, represent and share the range of philanthropic perspectives held and traditions followed by our members; Encourage members to join with us in developing their own commitment to inclusion for the future of philanthropy in Michigan by signing CMF's Guiding Principles. We believe that diversifying perspectives, talent and experience can help ensure philanthropy's continued leadership in a rapidly changing society. Therefore, building on philanthropy' s best traditions and aspirations, we're working together to develop a new, field-wide agenda for diversity." • Refined human resource policies, changes to internal and external communications (2007) • • • Staff training (initiated 2007) Board approved revisions to the Strategic Plan and Plan of Work (2007). Successful efforts to include diversity and inclusion as core components in (2007): o Essential Skills & Strategies, the standard, national curriculum for new grantmakers o The conceptual framework for grantmaker education being developed by the Forum of Regional Associations ofGrantmakers' Education Task Force In 2007, CMF responded to invitations from The Kresge and C.S. Mott Foundations to engage in a series of discussions about advancing diversity and inclusion across the philanthropic sector. In response, CMF: • Interviewed select member foundations about their current activities, plans and needs • Initiated talks with the Diversity in Philanthropy Project (DPP) about a partnership • Initiated talks with COF, the Forum, Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, The Johnson Center, Alliance for Nonprofit Management and others about possible partnerships • Submitted the five-year framework for the Transforming Michigan Philanthropy Through Diversity & Inclusion Initiative to The Kresge Foundation and received notice in December of the $150,000 grant � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. Date: February 1, 2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Phillip Peters, Chair Audit Committee David Lindberg RE: CMF 12-31-07 Financial Statements The following Resolution is presented for approval. RESOLVED that the December 31, 2007 Financial Statements, as approved by the Audit Committee, be accepted as presented. Background Based on current projections for 2007-08, the Core Services for CMF should end the fiscal year at close to break even. Core Operations Note 1: Membership The projected variance from budget is due to the following: Dues that decreased from prior year Anticipated non-renewals $18,500 12,500 Of the dues that decreased from the prior year $6, 100 is due to JP Morgan Chase whose headquarter are now on the east coast. $2, 100 is due to the Detroit Youth Foundation, a public charity that has reduced its grantmaking. Note 2: Additional Contributions While the C.S. Mott Foundation has declined to renew its $25,000 additional contribution for 2007-08, Foundation staff has indicated a willingness to allow CMF to transfer $25,000 from project money that was awarded in December 2007, to help balance the 2007-08 Budget if necessary. �Note 3: Conference Income & Expenses The October 2007 Annual Conference in Dearborn has generated a surplus of approximately $80,000 versus a budget of$114,000. The variance is primarily due to the increased food and AV costs at the Hyatt hotel. In addition to the variance noted above, the remaining variance from budget is primarily due to a couple of larger meetings that have been postponed until 2008-09. Note 4: Investment Income The projected variance is due to investment earning of special project dollars, primarily the Early Childhood Investment Corporation grant. Note 5: Wages & Benefits The projected variance from budget is primarily due to some staff reorganizations that took place in July 2007. Note 6: Technology The projected variance from budget is due to enhancements to the CMF website and third party support being less than anticipated as a result of the Director of Technology handling some of this work. Note 7: Communications/Publications The projected variance from budget is due to the $1 0,000 in recruitment material that was planned for potential new members. Since the focus for 2007-08 has been on retention, the marketing campaign has been postponed until 2008-09. Note 8: Professional Services Projected fees for 2007-08 are: Line Item Newsclip Service Public Affairs Associates Legal Audit Fees Corp.

Lindberg, Vice President Finance & Administration Re: December 31, 2007, Investment Report The following Resolution is presented fo r consideration: RESOLVED that the December 31, Investment Report be accepted, as recommended by the CMF Investment Committee. On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committees 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 February 7, 2008, the Investment Committee will meet to review and approve the enclosed reports. Since the October 22, 2007 CMF Board meeting, the Investment Committee has addressed the follow items: • Reviewing real estate investment options to include funds that are more globally focused versus the current investment vehicle which is primarily U.S. based properties. Alternative vs. Standard Allocation Investment Pools With the addition of the TIFF and Commonfund alternative products, the CMF Endowment Pool now has standard and alternative asset allocation pools. The standard allocation pool is rebalanced on a quarterly basis back to the targeted asset allocation noted in the attached report. The TIFF investment product rebalancing is handled by TIFF. 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. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2007-08\2.12.08 Meeting Materials\lnvestment Report 12-3107.doc �Investment Report Page 2 Investment Perfor mance 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.

Granholm's 2009 Executive Budget builds on the hard work and important progress we have made over the last five years. By focusing on citizens' most important priorities -jobs, education, health care and public safety -this budget will help make Michigan a great place to live, learn and earn. G Since 2000, Michigan has struggled with an auto industry in transition and economic challenges brought on by globalization, unenforced trade agreements and federal policies that have been indifferent to both the needs of our manufacturers and our families. As a result, the state has lost more than 400,000 jobs and experienced a sharp revenue decline. This protracted economic crisis has produced a severe fiscal crisis. Since taking office, Governor Granholm has resolved nearly $6 billion in budget deficits, making more than $3 billion in budget cuts - more than any governor in Michigan's history! In 2007, the on-going budget challenges soared higher. Held together for several years by onetime funding sources and short-term financial strategies, Michigan's options to balance the budget were shrinking at a time of increasing demands and falling revenues. Last year's economic crisis presented us with a choice. We could choose to cut our way to the bottom - slashing services and hurting families. Or we could choose to invest in our people to build the future for Michigan we all want. We chose wisely. We chose Michigan's future. The comprehensive solution reached after months of difficult and often frustrating negotiations prevented massive cuts to health care, education and public safety. We avoided pushing problems into future years and instead took steps to put our state budget back on solid financial footing. As a result, we can focus this year on jumpstarting Michigan's economy. Like the current budget, the fiscal year 2009 budget recommendation is a comprehensive proposal that w ill build on the progress made last year in reducing spending and reforming government while investing in the things that make us competitive. This year' s recommended budget includes no new taxes and no new fees. OVERVIEW Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Budget A-1 �Addressing Michigan's Structural Budget Challenge ntering 2007, the structural imbalance in Michigan's budget was no secret. For nearly a decade, economic growth had been stagnant leaving revenues well below expected levels. A series of on-going tax cuts also contributed to the decline. A Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference, held in May 2007, put estimated revenues for fiscal year 2008 at less than $7 billion, a decline of more than 30 percent since the start of the decade. E "The Granholm budget, which we believe is a smart combination of spending cuts, tax restructuring and government reform, represents that last and best hope to keep Michigan government together in the form in which it currently exists." Muskegon Chronicle, February 18, 2007 The first step in solving this fiscal crisis was passage of the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) in June 2007. The replacement for the Single Business Tax (SBT) provides tax cuts for more than seven out of ten Michigan businesses and tax cuts to both small businesses and Michigan's major manufacturers. The new tax encourages job creation in Michigan because it relies more on profits, provides tax credits to companies that locate or create new jobs in Michigan and tax credits for entrepreneurial and research and development activities. Most important to addressing the structural deficit, the n ew tax raises the same amount of revenue as the SBT. Replacement of the SBT revenue was essential, but could not solve the problem alone. Additional reven ue was necessary. After mu ch debate, the Governor and the legislature agreed to increase the state's income tax to a level just below what it was in 1999 and to expand the sales tax to a select list of services. Hours after the sales tax expansion took effect on December 1, 2007, the legislature voted to repeal the tax and replace it with a surcharge on the Michigan Business Tax which took effect on January 1, 2008. Governor Granholm also ordered stringent spending restrictions for all state departments in the summer of 2007. Through a series of executive directives, the Governor continued a hiring freeze and put limits on travel, memberships, subscriptions, supplies, and more. The 2008 budget repaid delayed payments to universities and community colleges u sed to balance the previous budget. It did not rely on funding shifts or short-term financial strategies. The Governor and the legislature agreed to hundreds of millions in additional spending cuts and made money-saving reforms such as ending state employee retirement " double dipping," allowing school districts to shop for competitive health care coverage and encouraging h ealthy behaviors for Medicaid recipients. This comprehensive approach - a combination of cuts, revenues and reforms - resolved the budget crisis, helped put Michigan's fiscal house on more solid ground and will move Michigan forward in the years ahead. OVERVIEW A-2 Creating Opportunity in a Changing World �Fiscal Year 2008 ... Where We Stand The January 2008 Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference projected that general fund revenue for the current fiscal year will be $234 million below the estimate used to enact the budget last fall. Nearly one half of the decline is the result of action the legislature took last December, when it replaced the service tax with a surcharge on the MBT decreasing state revenue by $114 million this year. The remainder of the general fund decline is due to continued slow growth in state revenues and the slowing national economy. The January 2008 Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference also projected a decline in the School Aid Fund for this fiscal year. Revenues in this fund are expected to be $136 million below the estimate used to enact the budget last fall. FY 2008 General Fund Budget $ in millions Beginning Balance $259 Revenue Estimate $9,866 , 1:-::2:-::5--1 Total FY 2008 Revenue --'--'-------.,$~1:-::0,-FY 08 Enacted Budget $9,856 Supplemental Requests $43 ---'--------;=-:::-::::-::--1 Total FY 2008 Spending $9,899 FY 2008 Funding Surplus Less: Rainy Day Fund Deposit Adjusted FY 2008 Funding Surplus $226 ($100) $126 In the past, revenue declines of this size would have resulted in mid-year budget cuts. Fortunately, the difficult decisions made during the budget debate last year have given Michigan the tools it needs to cope with the uncertain fluctuations of a changing economy. The state closed its books for fiscal year 2007 with a surplus of $259 million in the general fund and $84 million in the School Aid Fund. These surpluses will help prevent hurtful cuts to basic state services during this fiscal year, allow for a deposit of $100 million into the state's "rainy day" fund and allow $126 million to be carried into the next fiscal year. The 2007 surpluses were the result of higher-than-expected revenue collections in the last months of the fiscal year and the Governor's tough fiscal policies implemented during the year resulting in many departments returning a portion of their budgets unspent. Revenues tate law requires two revenue estimating conferences each year, typically held in mid-January and mid-May. Conferees include the State Treasurer and the directors of the House and Senate fiscal agencies. The conferees agree on baseline revenue estimates for the current year and the upcoming fiscal year for both the general fund and the School Aid Fund. The January conference provides revenue estimates for the Governor's budget recommendation. The May conference provides an opportunity to review the January estimates before final legislative action is taken on the state's budget. Additional conferences can be held during the year if economic conditions warrant further updates to the estimates. S OVERVIEW Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Budget A-3 �Like many states, Michigan has a constitutional provision that limits spending growth from year to year. Michigan's constitutional limitation- commonly known as the Headlee amendment - has been in place since 1978. The Headlee amendment limits annual growth in state revenues to a level that cannot exceed the year-to-year growth in personal income. This limit is intended to ensure that the state's overall revenues, both tax and non-tax revenues, do not grow faster than the incomes of Michigan's citizens. For the current fiscal year, Michigan is $5.1 billion below the Headlee revenue limit, d espite the revenue increases enacted last year. For fiscal year 2009, we w ill be $5.4 billion below the limit. Since taking office, Governor Granholm has balanced the budget each year despite consistently being billions of dollars below the revenue limit. Fiscal Year 2009 ichigan enters fiscal year 2009 in a stronger position than last year. The difficult work done last year to increase revenues and hold down spending has eliminated much of the budget's structural deficit and the fiscal year 2007 surplus provides additional flexibility to address unavoidable spending pressures in the upcoming fiscal year. M The January Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference projected revenues will be $9.194 billion for the general fund and $11.871 billion for the School Aid Fund. Despite spending pressures in the departments of Corrections, Community H ealth and Human Services, fiscal year 2009 begins with no significant funding gap. However, to ensure that we are focused on our key priorities, Governor Granholm is proposing additional reductions and reforms.

Last month, state employees began a new three-year contract which includes significant concessions in health benefits which will save $102 million, $63 million general fund, in 2009. A bipartisan workgroup facilitated by the Council of State Governments under the Justice Reinvestment Initiative w ill identify additional savings and budget reductions in the Department of Corrections through operational efficiencies and policy reforms. Employee/Retiree Health Care Reforms $63 The additional cuts and reforms proposed by the Governor will allow the state to continue to invest in our priorities - good jobs, quality schools, affordable health care and safe communities. Focusing on Michigan's Priorities A Job for Every Worker Governor Granholm's top priority for Michigan is creating jobs. Since taking office, she has worked to diversify our state's economy, attracting companies in high-growth areas that will create good-paying jobs that can't be outsourced. The Governor's 2009 budget provides important tools to create jobs and to provide the training Michigan workers need to fill them. The Michigan Job Creation Tax Credit, which the Governor announced in her State of the State address, is a one-time initiative to encourage businesses from many of the fastest growing industries nationally- from high-tech to homeland security to alternative energy - to create and grow jobs in the state. The 2009 budget recommendation anticipates a $35 million reduction in revenue as businesses take advantage of this tax credit. The Governor's 2009 budget invests more than $618 million in worker training programs, including an additional $40 million to expand her No Worker Left Behind initiative which provides two years of free training "Indeed, so many citizens are applying for Governor Jennifer to help displaced workers prepare No Worker Left Behind program, the people Granholm's for high-demand careers.

Agencies have experienced a 300 percent increase in the number Detroit News, January 22,2008 of people seeking training. Th e expanded funding for this program OVERVIEW Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Budget A-5 �will be provided by refinancing a portion of the state's general obligation bonds to take advantage of lower interest rates. To help spur our economy as a national recession looms, the Governor is proposing a two-year stimulus package, totaling over $1.8 billion, creating more than 28,000 new jobs. One part of this proposal is the fiscal year 2009 Capital Outlay budget totaling $250 million, primarily for projects at airports and military training facilities across the state. These projects are expected to create an additional 3,900 construction and other jobs. This proposal for fiscal year 2009 accompanies the Governor's stimulus package for the current fiscal year. For 2008, the Governor has proposed a Capital Outlay budget of $1.4 billion for projects at universities, community colleges, state parks and more, creating over 22,000 n ew jobs. The Michigan Department of Transportation will also accelerate approximately 25 additional road and bridge projects at a cost of $150 million, creating more than 2,100 new jobs. In addition, the Governor has announced that the state will increase spending on tourism and business promotion by $60 million to a total of $90 million over two years. This one-time expenditure will be funded by refinancing some of the state's taxable tobacco bonds. Quality Education for Every Citizen Leading economists and education experts agree: education is an essential part of any economic development strategy. In Michigan, we have already taken critical steps to set high expectation s for our schools and our students. The Governor's budget this year will ensure that all of our students have the tools they need to meet and exceed those expectations by expanding early childhood education, increasing funding for our K-12 schools and asking more of our colleges and universities. Fiscal Year 2009 School Aid Fund ($ in millions) Beginning Balance Consensus Revenues General Fund Subsidy Federal Revenues Total Revenue Estimate $48 $1 1,871 $43 $1,562 $13,524 FY2008 Enacted Appropriations Baseline Spending Adjustments Per Pupil Funding Increase Enhancements Total Spending Estimate $13,006 $23 $299 $187 $13,515 Total FY2009 Funding Surplus $9 K-12 Schools Governor Granholm's 2009 bud get recommends increasing funding for our K-12 sch ools by $108 to $216 per student, based on the equity formula established last year. This increase will take another step toward closing the funding gap between school districts. The minimum foundation allowance for 2009 will be $7,420 per student. To ensure that every child begins school prepared to succeed, the Governor's budget recommends a $31.5 million increase in funding for the Great Start preschool program. This funding will help an additional 7,000 children and expand the services of the Early Childhood Investmen t Corporation. These increases are possible, in part, as a result of our declining school age population. While declining enrollment eases the state's financial burden, it places additional financial strain on the more than 400 districts impacted. Therefore $20 million is allocated, once again, for grants to districts experiencing declining enrollment. OVERVIEW A-6 Creating Opportunity in a Changing World �To prepare all Michigan students for success in college and the workplace, the Governor is proposing a 21st Century Schools Fund to help school districts replace large, impersonal high schools that have low academic achievement and high drop out rates with small high "Replacing dysfunctional high schools with up to 100 schools that use strong personal relationships, smaller ones promises to transform the learning culture in many Michigan communities. It represents the consistent discipline and real world relevance to h elp at-risk students achieve high academic kind ofinstitutional shakeup the state requires for 21st centunJ progress." goals. By redirecting the $32 million previously dedicated to the Durant lawsuit Flint Journal, January 22, 2008 settlement and bonding against this revenue, the state can offer $300 million in grants to school districts over the next three years to create these schools. Colleges and Universities Governor Granholm is committed to doubling the number of college graduates in Michigan. To support that goal she is proposing a three percent increase in funding for our community colleges and universities, which ensures a funding increase at or above the rate of inflation. In addition, the Governor is recommending that this funding be distributed by a formula that recognizes the importance of not only enrolling students, but ensuring they complete their degrees. Under the Governor's proposal, all fifteen state-funded universities will receive increased funding based on a combination of degree completion, federal research expenditures, and opportunities for low income student enrollment. The formula for our three flagship universities - the University of Michigan, Wayne State University and Michigan State University - will place a greater emphasis on research and commercialization activities. The state's 28 community colleges will receive increased funding based on "Post-secondary education has never been more important a formula developed two years ago for the future economic well-being of students and the state that considers enrollment and degree ... The fastest-growing jobs in this global economy require higher learning and students must be prepared-- for Jour-year completion. universities and technical and vocational schools ..." The Governor's fiscal year 2009 budget Grand Rapids Press, August 30, 2007 makes $235 million in financial aid available to Michigan students, including a record number who are eligible for the $4,000 Michigan Promise Scholarship. Health Care for Every Family Governor Granholm knows tha t making affordable health care accessible to every family in Michigan and protecting the safety net for our state's most vulnerable citizens are essential tools in our fight to strengthen the econom y . Despite last year's severe budget challenges, she refused to eliminate health care for children, seniors or citizens with disabilities. This year, the Governor's budget recommends expanding access to health care in several ways.

The Governor's 2009 budget recommendation provides $8.5 billion for the medical services and long term care portions of Medicaid, an increase of 4.3 percent over the current year. This program provides health care to nearly 1.6 million Michigan citizens, including more than 900,000 children. To combat our state's growing nursing shortage, the Governor proposes $10 million for the Michigan Nursing Corps. With this funding, the Corps will train 126 additional nursing faculty to help expand nursing programs across the state. Through these efforts, the Michigan Nursing Corps can train 6,300 additional nurses in five years. In addition, the Governor's budget recommends $4.8 million in nursing scholarships. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 The Department of Community Health's efforts to place seniors and disabled citizens in appropriate care settings have resulted in decreased nursing home utilization and additional savings of $32.1 million gross, $12.7 million general fund. The Governor's budget proposes reinvesting this savings in the expansion of home and community-based services to allow more seniors to remain in their homes. Safe Places to Live and Work Since taking office, Governor Granholm has fought to ensure that all Michigan citizens have safe places to live, work and play - protecting their pocketbooks and their neighborhoods in this time of economic uncertainty. The Governor's 2009 budget continues this effort. The Governor's 2009 budget recommends a four percent increase in statutory revenue sharing payments- money given to local units of government to help pay for essential services including police and fire protection. This is the first increase in revenue sharing payments since 2001. The Governor's budget includes additional common sense reforms in the Department of Corrections which will help reduce our burgeoning prison costs without jeopardizing public safety. As a result of the reforms and efficiencies made by the Department over the last five years, the Governor's budget recommendation for Corrections is lower than the previous year for the first time since she took office. "Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle must work through the need to bring Michigan's corrections spending more in line with neighboring states. That is vital." Lansing State Journal, January 31, 2008 OVERVIEW A-8 Creating Opportunity in a Changing World �In addition, the Governor is recommending that the Michigan State Police operate a trooper school beginning this fall to train 100 n ew troopers. This will restore trooper strength to the highest level in five years and w ill enable the sta te to partner with more local communities to help keep neighborhoods safe.

Detroit Free Press, January 24, 2008 Governor Granholm's 2009 budget also recommends: • $1.3 billion to protect Michigan's children, including child protection services, foster care, adoption and day care assistance. • $182 million to support environmental clean up and pollution prevention programs . • $21 million for food safety programs. • $2.9 million to strengthen regulation of the mortgage industry and combat predatory lending activities. OVERVIEW Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Budget A-9 �Conclusion he first decade of the 21st century has been a time of unprecedented change for Michigan. History will say that this decade of economic turmoil was among the toughest any state had to face in generations. Governor Granholm is determined to use this period of change and challenge to make Michigan a stronger, smarter, more prosperou s state. T In 2007, we laid the right foundation. There are important, strong planks in that foundation: the most rigorous education standards in our sta te's history, college scholarships for every child, the biggest diversification strategy in the nation, a major tax rewrite, solving our fiscal crisis and providing training to every adult who needs it. But Governor Granholm knows there is more to do and her 2009 Executive Budget Recommendation w ill help the state take the next steps- creating jobs, replacing failing schools, expanding early childhood education, providing access to quality health care, protecting citizens and their pocketbooks - to build the future for Michigan we all want. OVERVIEW Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Budget A-10 �Subject: Budget Increases: $108-$216 Per Pupil, 4% Revenue Sharing; 3% Higher Ed From: Gangwer News Service [mailto:gongwer@gongwer.com] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 12:26 PM To: gongwer@gongwer.com Subject: Budget Increases: $108-$216 Per Pupil, 4% Revenue Sharing; 3% Higher Ed Special Update, Thursday, February 7, 2008, 12:24 pm Budget Increases: $108-$216 Per Pupil, 4% R evenue Sharing, 3% Higher Ed K-12 schools would get per pupil increases ranging from $108 to $216 and local governments would see a 4 percent increase in the statutory portion of revenue sharing under the $44.8 billion, $9.8 billion gen eral fund, budget for 2008-09 recommended Thursday by Governor Jennifer Granholm. Universities and community colleges would get a 3 percent increase under the executive budget proposal. The budget provides for $235 million in lower spending through savings and reforms (as expected $50 million of that would be with reforms and efficiencies in prison programs), and has $100 million t o deposit in the state's rainy day fund. Some programs would see the first increase in several years: the revenue sharing boost is the first since 2001 and the governor is recommending a 2 percent increase in the monthly grant in the Family Independen ce Assistance program, the first since 1990. The annual FIA clothing allowing would be increased to $75. The governor is proposing $1.1 billion in capital outlay spending in the current year and $250 million in 2008-09 as part of a one-time economic stimulus package. Other key elements include: • $31.5 million in early childhood education • $40 million in additional funds for the No Worker Left Behind program which brings total worker training spending in several programs to $618 million, • th e previously-announced plan to add 100 State Police troopers, • $10 million for a nursing corps program and $4.8 million in nursing scholarships as part of a mission to add 6,300 nurses over five years, • $3.35 million for mental health courts to provide treatment to non-violent offenders who would otherwise be sent to jail. The increases in per pupil spending would raise the minimum per pupil funding level to $7,420. The additional funds for universities would be distributed through a formula recognizing factors such as degree completion, enrollment of low-income students and federal research funding. Funding for the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University would also include technology and commercialization factors. The total budget, including fees and federal funds, is about $1 billion higher than the 2007-08 spending levels, while general fund spendin g is marginally lower.

Collier Duane L. Tarnacki Date: January 9, 2008 Subject: Low-Profit Limited Liability Company It has been proposed that the Michigan Limited Liability Company Act (the "Act") be amended to introduce a new fonn of limited liability company, the "Low-Profit Limited Liability Company" ("L3C"). The creation ofL3Cs is expected to encourage investment in struggling industries and allow for flexibility with regard to organizational structure. Although some states have considered adopting this legislation, Michigan may be the first. The purpose of this Memorandum is to address the key characteristics of the L3C and outline its benefits. 1. First, what is a limited liability company? A limited liability company is a popular investment vehicle that combines the benefits of a corporation with the benefits of a partnership. Like a corporation, the potential liability of investors is limited to their investment in the limited liability company. Like a partnership, there is no tax paid by the limited liability company. Any taxes are assessed on the investors, eliminating double taxation. 2. What is an L3C? The L3C is 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. It would function as a type of limited liability company, intended to generate modest profit while carrying on a business that has a charitable purpose. The proposed legislation would require an L3C to engage in business activities that significantly further a charitable purpose and that have only the incidental goal of producing income or capital appreciation. The actual investment can take the form of a purchase of stock or other equity security, a loan, a loan guaranty, or any other investment that will further the investor's purpose. A foundation's investment in an L3C would constitute a program related investment by satisfying certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The L3C would retain the flexible ownership structure of a traditional limited liability company, while providing a good vehicle for mixing different types of investors and social missions. S542634.2 00856/119126 5542634.2 00856/ 119 126 �MEMORANDUM 3. 4. PAGE2 Who can invest in an L3C? • individuals interested in social investing • governments interested in promoting community development • for-profit business organizations • private foundations • community foundations • other public charities Why establish an L3C? As an alternative to grantmaking, private foundations may make investments in the L3C which qualify as program-related investments ("PRis"). PRis are IRS sanctioned investments made by foundations to support charitable activities and that involve the potential return of capital over some period of time. Proposed language to amend the Act (see Exhibit A) and introduce the L3C in Michigan would track IRS regulations regarding PRis so that a private foundation ' s investment in an L3C would be a qualifying distribution for purposes of the Code's 5% minimum distribution requirement. Add itionally, investments in L3Cs would not be included in a foundation' s asset base for purposes of calculating minimum investment return, would not be considered business holdings for purposes of the excess business holdings prohibition and would not be considered jeopardizing investments. By introducing the L3C as a type of limited liability company in Michigan, certain legal fees, organizational costs and time constraints associated with PRis can be eliminated. In the past, foundations have spent significant sums in legal costs and fees to obtain private letter rulings from the IRS (which can take many months to process) to determine whether a foundation' s investment complies with the IRS regulations for PRis. However, once the proposed state legislation is enacted to establish this new form oflimited liability company, it is anticipated that the Internal Revenue Service and/or Congress can be approached to issue a formal ruling that the L3C meets its PRI requirements. Foundations will save time and money know ing that their proposed investment qualifies as a PRI, rather than seeking approval of each investment through a private letter ruling. The ultimate effect of the legislation would be to provide nonprofit organizations with a cost-effective and time-saving approach to furthering their charitable purposes.

Subject: L3Cs--examples Rob, You have asked how we would anticipate that private foundations would utilize low-profit limited liability companies (L3Cs) in connection with program-related investments. In what we would characterize as the "typical" use, a private foundation would come together with other foundations or public charities and possibly private investors to jointly invest in this vehicle. The party who takes the lead in the project would likely be the party establishing the L3C. So, depending on the nature of the project and who initiated it, it could be the public charity, the foundation or a for -profit partner. Projects that would probably benefit most from the L3C structure would be community or economic development projects often where for-profit investors are interested in participating.One concrete example would be an affordable housing project where you have a for-profit developer (often, the general contractor), a community development corporation which is a public charity nonprofit and "sponsor" of the affordable housing project, a bank interested in meeting its Community Reinvestment Act requirements, the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) providing a loan to the project and a grant from the county or other local government agency. The common investment vehicle used for a project like this today is often a limited partnership or an LLC. The L3C would serve as a much more desirable vehicle because it would allow private foundation investment without the necessity of the foundation obtaining a private letter ruling. In this example, the CDC would establish the L3C and would likely serve as the manager of the L3C and oversee the daily operations of the project. Through an operating agreement, the investors (as members) could negotiate various aspects of the project and investment, including details regarding the management of the L3C and how any return on investment would be allocated. If the private foundation invested in the L3C as a member, it would have a vote or right to have input over management of the L3C. In short, being a member of the L3C provides an ownership interest and some measure of management control. Depending upon the project, and depending upon the principal interests of the CDC in the project, the CDC could elect what level of "economic" interest to have -- or to have an entirely "non-economic" interest, reserving its role to that of having only a management or "veto power" type of interest in the project. Incidentally, because of the fit between L3Cs and affordable housing projects, we believe two potential partners who would support this legislation would be the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan and the Community Development Association of Detroit. Another example might be where a group of private foundations and other investors were interested in providing mezzanine financing to promote market rate housing redevelopment in an urban area by helping to combat community deterioration and urban decay. We are aware of at least one situation where a foundation affiliated with a civic organization created a fund to promote housing rehabilitation in a blighted downtown neighborhood. In that case, the civic foundation created it as a segregated fund and various corporations and private foundations made grants to capitalize the fund which loans money to for-profit developers to complete financing for housing rehabilitation projects. Had the L3C been available when this fund was created it would have provided the ideal vehicle for accomplishing the project because it would insulate the civic foundation from any potential liability arising from the program. It would also allow the grantors the opportunity to take an equity interest with the prospect for return of capital and some appreciation rather than being limited to grants (or loans) . Another likely use would be a situation in which two public charities agree to enter into a joint venture to undertake a new activity. Under current law, the charities would probably incorporate a new nonprofit corporation which requires filing an exemption application and obtaining an IRS determination letter for the joint subsidiary. Alternatively, they could choose to form an LLC, but, under existing law, the Articles of Organization must recite a "business" purpose. Michigan law does not provide for "non-profit LLCs." Given the character of the investment by the public charities, the reference to a "business purpose" can be problematic. Currently, the State will not accept Articles of Organization which describe the purpose as satisfying charitable standards under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The L3C should solve this issue as the proposed amendments to the statute specifically address the qualification of an LLC formed for the purposes identified by the Code. As such, the charity partners would enjoy limited liability and an exemption application would not be required for recognition of 501 (c)(3) status. Moreover, they would be able to maintain more direct involvement in the project to ensure that it proceeds as intended file:///SifBoards%20and%20Committees/CMF/Board/2007-08/2.12.08%20Meeting%20Materials/L3Cs--examples.htm[ 11 /22/20 I I II: 18:15 AM] �LEGAL NOTICE: This e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended recipient(s).

Advancing giving. Date: February 1, 2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier David Lindberg RE: Proposed Membership Investment Increase 2009-10 The following resolution is proposed for your consideration and approval. RESOLVED, that, as recommended by the Audit and Executive Committees, a ten percent increase in the membership dues be implemented for the 2009-10 fiscal year starting Apri11, 2009. Background The last increase in membership dues became effective with the fiscal year starting April 1, 2004. At that time it had been nine years since a dues increase, so a 20% increase was instituted to make up for the lack of adjustments over the years. After reviewing the latest three year projection, a copy of which is attached, management is recommending a 10% dues increase effective April1, 2009. Action on this recommendation is being requested now to allow sufficient time for the Membership Committee to examine the Dues Structure and bring proposed changes to the Board of Trustees in May, and the Communications Task Force has time to develop a communications plan for the staff to implement at the October Annual Meeting. Projection 2009-10 to 2011-12 Key items to note in the attached three-year projection: Membership Investment The current dues are projected to increase approximately $30,000 per year assum ing net new members plus the increase in members' asset levels. Additional Member Contributions This projected budget assumes that the $150,000 form the W.K. Kellogg Foundation will continue beyond 2009-10, the last year of the current five-year grant. �Membership Investment February 1, 2008 Page 2 Other Grants - Detroit Office The current grant from the Skillman Foundation ends in 2008-09. The current projection assumes a replacement grant of$25,000 per year is secured for the next three years. Publications The attached projection assumes the Michigan Foundation Directory is now produced every third year. Wages & Benefits 2009-10 is the last year of the three-year phase in period for the salary adjustments recommended as a result of the Mercer compensation study. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Advancing giving. February 2, 2008 Memo to: Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, Rob Collier, and Dave Lindberg Re: 2008 Proposed Plan of Work The following Resolution is presented for your consideration and approval. RESOLVED that the 2008 Plan of Work, as reviewed by the Executive and Audit Committees, be approved as presented - a copy of which is enclosed. Background Enclosed is a BIG one page summary of the Plan of Work that indicates both Highlights this year and proposed NEW Activities for the 2008 year. We will have a PowerPoint presentation at the Board Meeting so do not strain your eyes with the fine print. This Plan of Work is built on the Board approved Strategic Plan. As indicated in the Minutes ofthe Executive Committee, there are no substantive changes in the goals, objectives and strategies. The key points from the standpoint of resources are: • • • Staff will be added to handle corporate services and the Diversity and Inclusion Initiative. While a regional approach is going to be taken to reinvigorating the Membership Committee, outside grant support will be needed for the positions of Vice President Membership and West Michigan Family Foundations Coordinator. The Office of the Foundation Liaison will need to be refinanced in order to continue beyond October I, 2008 But CMF has a long track record of leveraging resources. As we begin our 361h year, the opportunities to bring increased value to our members through the partnerships in this Plan are exciting. After the Plan of Work you will find a summary of key partners: BoardSource, GrantCraft, GEO, the Diversity in Philanthropy Project and the Johnson Center. We look forward to discussing this Plan of Work with you. �c.v:s~t ----- Proposed FY2008-2009 Plan of Work as of 2.4.08 Overview of GOALS ADVOCATE for a legislative and regulatory environment conducive to philanthropy OBJECTIVES Achieve goats of legislative statement (updated annually) STRATEGIES 1.

February 1, 2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Rob Collier, President Re: President's Report I am taking a new approach to the President's Report in 2008 by organizing it around our six core goals that serve as the basis for our Strategic Plan. As noted in the Agenda, I will ask: Carol Paine McGovern to report on the Government Relations Committee under Advocacy, Kathy Ginocchio to remind us of the value ofmichiganfoundations.org under Educate, Dave Egner and Jaclyn Miel-Uken to report on the Public Policy activities under Lead, and Caroline Chambers and Rachel Mraz to comment on the Annual Conference under Network. As usual there is so much to share. I. ADVOCACY STRATEGY- To advocate for goals in Legislative Statement supporting a legislative and regulatory environment conducive to philanthropy January 22, 2008 - Government Relations Committee Conference Call The Committee met with members ofCMF's affinity group Funders Concerned about Michigan's Economy to be briefed by Duane Tamacki and colleagues from Clark Hill and Becky Bechler, lobbyist from Public Affairs Associates, on the proposed amendment to the State's Limited Liability Act for creation of a Low-profit Limited Liability Corporation (L3C). Attached are three documents from Clark Hill- a memo describing what an L3C is, an email offering two examples of how it could be used by foundations, and the draft Bill language. The CMF Board approved this as a goal at last October's Board Meeting. There was consensus by all on the call that CMF should go forward in introducing the legislation. Since the call, with Becky Bechler's help, I have met with Senator Jason Allen, Chair of the Commerce Committee, who has agreed to introduce the Bill. While he is making it a priority, testimony before his Committee is unlikely before March. March 4-5, 2008 - Foundations on the Hill Also attached is the information on Foundations on the Hill. We are excited about having a special tour at the Museum of the American Indian to start our Hill visits. With extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover, the domestic Hedge Fund issue, the L3C legislation noted above, and the Donor Advised Fund Report from the Treasury, there is plenty to discuss with our Members of Congress. We are pleased to have nearly 30 registered, but are seeking more CMF members to join us from targeted Districts. II.

They were honored to have been joined by Russ and Lou Ann Mawby for dinner on February the second. www.michiganfoundations.org Redesigned with more resources, new functionality, a sophisticated new look and a brand new name, CMF's web site- michiganfoundations.org- officially launched in late fall 2007. Developed as part of the Forum of Regional Associations ofGrantmakers' Knowledge Management Initiative, it is the first fully-integrated web site to launch on the shared software platform. Several other regional associations of grantmakers will follow in our footsteps later this spring. Altogether, almost half of the regional associations in the country are contributing to the software and development costs for a shared member database, website development platform, and comprehensive knowledgebase of resources for grantmakers. Highlights: • Knowledgebase- the best resources from the network of 32 regional associations and other • Enhanced Member Directory - expanded search criteria and access to CMF member individuals • Online event registration and purchasing of CMF publications- secure, flexible, convenient • Individual member access - members can update their contact information, communications preferences, and create their own username and password • Automated usernan1e and password retrieval system �President's Report February 2008 Page4 Since launch, hundreds of members have registered for events, accessed member-only materials and contacted colleagues through these new functionalities resulting in a decrease in CMF staff time fom1erly needed to manage these transactions. During December 2007 and January 2008, Kathy Ginocchio, director of technology, hosted two members-only orientations to the new web site. Similar training will be offered as CMF adds additional enhancements such as shared work spaces for members. III. INCREASE STRATEGY- To provide programs, resources and technical assistance to build the capacity of community foundations In February, over 50 community foundation CEOs from Ohio and Michigan will attend the 3rd Annual joint retreat to be held in Detroit. Topics for this year's retreat include the Transfer of Wealth Analysis, Access to Recreation, and Civic Capacity and Cultural Competency. In March, Michigan community foundation Program Officers w ill gather in Kalamazoo, MI for their retreat IV. LEAD STRATEGY- To educate members through programs and resources Enclosed is a two-page report from The Public Policy Committee STRATEGY- To contribute to national and global dialogues on advancing community philanthropy Donnell Mersereau presented at two Transatlantic Community Foundation Network (TCFN) Peer Exchanges since our last board meeting. The first TCFN Peer Exchange in Victoria, B.C. in November 2007 focused on community indicators as a unique way to inform community foundation grantrnaking and their role in the community. The overall learning objective was to identify key requirements for an effective indicator program. Issues studied were data collection and interpretation, indicator selection, community consultation and engagement, publication of indicator reports as well as the subsequent evaluation process. Participants from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany discussed these issues on the basis of individual case studies. Donnell Mersereau presented NOVAH© a new- patent-pending- project of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation in Michigan and the Community Impact curriculum created by the MCFV R&D Incubator. Discussion at the Peer Exchange showed that indicators are an excellent way of understanding what is happening and what is important in local communities. Donnell remained in Victoria to lead a strategic planning session with the staff and board of trustees of the Victoria Community Foundation. "From Donor Services to Donor Engagement" was the theme of the second TCFN Peer Exchange which took place in Bruges, Belgium in November, 2007. The meeting was hosted by the Community Foundation West-Flanders (Streek Fonds West-Vlaanderen) and focused on strategies for emerging community foundations to approach and engage donors. Donnell Mersereau's presentation focused on how board members of a community foundation can be engaged and motivated to play an active role in this process. Participants from the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Poland, Latvia, �President's Report February 2008 Page 5 Spain, Belgium and Germany presented several case studies that addressed these issues and further explored them in small breakout groups and plenary discussions. Discussions were further enriched by the active participation of several board members of the Community Foundations West-Flanders who shared their views and experience as ambassadors of the community foundation. Donnell was invited to represent MCFV on the Council on Foundation's (COF) Knowledge Management Exploration Team. Knowledge management is the process by which an organization captures, analyzes, and makes available intellectual capital in and among organizations. Improving knowledge management and encouraging cooperation among foundations have been identified as central to the strategic goals of the COF's Community Foundation Leadership Team (CFLT). According to the CFLT 2007-2010 Plan of Action, community foundations "need an effective vehicle for mutual learning and collective impact" and should "act as a field by coordinating and linking their work." The Knowledge Management Exploration Team met in Washington DC in November to help CFLT to effectively connect community foundations and ensure that the field is moving forward together through collaboration and information-sharing. In February, Donnell Mersereau, in partnership with MCFV and Ohio Grantmakers' Forum, will work with COF staff to process over 100 Community Foundation National Standards submissions for compliance. Immediately following her week in DC, Ms. Mersereau will travel to Indianapolis, IN to participate in a strategic planning session for COF's Standards Action Team to revamp National Standards for the re-certification process in 2010. IV. NETWORK STRATEGY - To provide programs and resources 36111 Annual Conference, October 12-14,2008, Grand Rapids We have advanced the planning process for the Annual Conference with leadership from CMF trustees, Caroline Chambers and Rachel Mraz and member Milt Rohwer who are serving as co-chairs.

The Capitol Steps have been retained for our Opening night event at the Amway Grand. The Grand Rapids Art Museum will be the site for the Monday evening event. Our goal is to have the Conference registration brochure mailed in May- two months ahead of last year's schedule. The Conference goals are to: o Provide participants with opportunities to reflect, refresh, and network with peers; be exposed to the latest knowledge and issues facing philanthropy; and learn at least one new skill or resource to help them be more effective. o Design an event that recognizes, honors and welcomes all participants in line with our goals for cultural competency o Attract 310 full and 240 paid registrations o Secure $165,000 in sponsorships and $26,000 in exhibitor fees. (Draft sponsor and exhibitor fonns are included in the back pocket) �President's Report February 2008 Page 6 The conference schedule has been redesigned to begin with an opening keynote at 4:00pm on Sunday, October 12 and to end by 3:45pm on Tuesday, October 14, 2008.

Philanthropy 3D Project/Michigan Work has begun on the 3D Project with the November 2007 receipt of funding from the The David & Lucille Packard Foundation ($75,000) and the Forum ofRegional Associations ofGrantmakers ($20,000). The project is a research and development project of the Philanthropy Awareness Initiative (P AI) and a partnership with the Donors Forum of Wisconsin and Indiana Grantmakers Alliance. Through 3D, CMF will develop and test a strategy for improving influential state leaders' understanding and appreciation for the knowledge resources foundations offer to solving critical issues. The focus of the pilot is increasing Michigan 's economic competitiveness. The project bu ilds on the history of foundation-state relationships and partnerships as exemplified in the relationship building, knowledge sharing, strategy development and mutual leadership for early childhood. The project evaluation will be conducted by the Community Research Institute at the Johnson Center. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Government R elations- Carol Paine-McGovern & Rob Collier RESOLVED that Goal4 be amended from repeal of the excise tax on private foundations to " Support simplification of the excise tax on private f oundations to a flat tax that is revenue neutral for the federal government." 5 �Board Agenda Summary May 20, 2008 Page 2 RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations joins with the Northern California Grantmakers, Southern California Grantmakers and San Diego Grantmakers - the three California Regional Associations and the Council on Foundations in opposing California Assembly Bill 624 because this legislation: • ignores the commitment of many of our members to better reflect, represent, and serve all populations through the impact of the operations - governance, staffing, business practices and grantmaking- of organized philanthropy, • mandates the collection of data related to the diversity of our boards, staff and grantees that may be impossible to accurately collect, and • has the potential to both negatively impact the very diverse populations and communities it seeks to serve, and to slow-rather than grow - philanthropy and philanthropy's commitment to serve such populations. RESOLVED further that, in recognition of both CMF's Board approved Diversity and Inclusion Initiative and the appropriate balance between the voluntary decisions of individual grantmakers with the sector's responsibility to serve the common good and all of society, the Council of Michigan Foundations supports the call to action from the Council on Foundations that all of philanthropy join in a growing commitment to respond to the appropriate concerns about our lack of progress to date and our collective commitment to increasing our value for and leadership to the importance of diversity and inclusiveness in all that we do. RESOLVED that CMF support HB 5681, sponsored jointly by Majority Floor Leader Steve Tobocman and Representative Bill Huizenga, to amend the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act to accomplish the following: • The board of directors of a nonprofit corporation would need at least three directors. Currently, the act requires "one or more" directors. Under the bill, an existing corporation would need to have at least three directors beginning 180 days after the bill's effective date. • A corporation that is a "charitable purpose corporation" could not provide loans to or guarantee an obligation of an officer or director of the corporation or a subsidiary, unless the officer or director is also a client of the corporation and the loan or guaranty is necessary to carry out the corporation's charitable purposes. • A charitable purpose corporation that is dissolved would have to provide notice of the dissolution to the attorney general within 60 days after the date of dissolution and could not dispose of any of its assets without written approval of the attorney general. VII. Public Policy Committee- Dave Egner & Jaclyn Miel-Uken RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations support HB 6025 & 6026 and SB 1287 that would provide Michigan residents with an income tax check off option to voluntarily donate to the United Way. 6 �Board Agenda Summary May 20,2008 Page 3 VIII. 2009 Annual Conference and 2008 Annual Conference UpdateVicki Rosenberg, Caroline Chambers & Rachel Mraz 7 RESOLVED that the 2009 Annual Conference ofCMF be scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, November 3 through Thursday afternoon, November 5 in Detroit with joint programming with Independent Sector on Wednesday afternoon, November 4 through Thursday afternoon, November 5.

Diversity & Inclusion Initiative Vicki Rosenberg introduced the logic model for the five year Diversity and Inclusion Initiative funded initially by The Kresge Foundation. She noted the first three objectives: for CMF to become a model regional association and national resource; for 19 foundations to commit to and make substantial strides toward institutionalizing diversity and inclusion; and to increase CMF members' awareness, understanding and action in diversity and inclusion. The Governance Committee, chaired by Trustee Carol Goss, will be expanded to serve as an Advisory Committee for this Initiative. Upon motion duly made, supported and unanimously approved, it was RESOLVED that CMF undertake a five-year Diversity and Inclusion Initiative to become a model regional association and resource for the national field of organized philanthropy by: institutionalizing diversity and inclusion throughout all aspects of staffing, operations, governance, membership, member services/programs; and sharing lessons learned/best practices with the network of regional associations of grantmakers nationwide and other key partners like the Council on Foundations. President's Report A. Government Relations Government Relations Committee co-chair Carol Paine McGovern updated the Board on the recent call combined with the Funders Concerned about Michigan's Economy Affinity Group to discuss the possible introduction ofL3C legislation. Senator Jason Allen has agreed to introduce the bill. If the bill moves forward, CMF members will testify. �CMF Council of Michigan Founaations Serving grantmakers. Advancing giving. Date: May 12,2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Rob Collier, President and Dave Lindberg, Vice President Re: Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to allow for electronic communication Recent amendments to the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act (the "Act") now permit the use of electronic transmission, such as email, for notices, waivers of notice, proxies, written consents and voting when participating in a meeting by remote communication. These amendments have the potential of streamlining the procedures for providing notices, obtaining signatures for written consents, and conducting meetings. The following Resolution and amended Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws that are attached as prepared by legal counsel, Clark Hill PLC, are recommended by the Executive Committee fo r your consideration and approval. RESOLVED that the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws be amended as attached and prepared by legal counsel to respond to changes in the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act to allow for electronic communication. Background As used in the Act, "electronic transmission" refers to any form of communication that 1) does not directly involve the physical transmission of paper; 2) creates a record that may be retained and retrieved by the recipient; and 3) may be directly reproduced in paper form by the recipient through an automated process. Common examples include email and fax. Members (or shareholders) and directors (or trustees) must authorize the electronic transmission of notices or communication to them. The simple act of providing the organization with an email address, for example, would constitute authorization. In order to utilize the convenience of electronic transmission, authorization in the articles or bylaws may be required. It is our view that action of members may be taken in only one of two ways - by vote at a meeting or by written consent. The amendments to the Act address both of these. Electronic transmission may also be used to provide notices of meetings, submit proxies or written consents to the organization, or to waive notice of a meeting. Neither the articles nor the bylaws need to specifically authorize these uses of electronic transmission. However, depending on how the articles and bylaws are currently written, clarification may be appropriate. �Amendments to Articles & Bylaws May 12, 2008 Page 2 Members may now vote in "real time" by electronic transmission. This would only arise in cases where members are participating in a meeting by remote communication such as If the organization desires to hold member meetings by remote a webinar. communication and the members to vote by electronic transmission, it must be authorized by the bylaws. If the members are voting for directors by electronic transmission, the provision must be included in the articles of incorporation. Action by written consent by fewer than all members must still be specifically authorized by the articles. Membership organizations may authorize action to be taken without a meeting and without a vote, if a consent in writing (which now includes email), setting forth the action to be taken is authorized by the members having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or take action at a meeting at which all members entitled to vote were present and voted. Membership organizations that wish to take advantage of this provision and do not currently have this provision in their articles, must amend their articles. These consents would allow members to elect directors without holding an annual meeting if a list of directors is submitted along with the written consent to members. Members could review the list of directors nominated for election, indicate their selection of directors and return the consent by mail or electronically. The consents would be tallied just as if a ballot vote had been taken and directors elected. The election would be valid only if the minimum number of votes were received. Board action electronically or by fax still requires unanimous written consent (affirmative response by 100% of the board). �Amendments to Articles & Bylaws May 12,2008 Page 3 BYLAWS OF COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS R evised 2 12 08Mav 20. 2008 Latest ,.evisions helded ARTICLE I.

Date: May 12,2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Phillip Peters, Audit Committee Chair David Lindberg RE: CMF March 31, 2008 & 2007 Audit Report The following Resolution is presented for approval. RESOLVED that the March 31,2008 & 2007 Audit Report be accepted as presented. Because the Board Meeting is early this year, the audit report will be delivered at the CMF Board meeting with a copy sent to all board members following the meeting. Differences between Internal Statements and Audited Statements Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from Kellogg for their additional membership dues and Skillman for the Detroit office we will have a difference between the internal and audited statements for CMF Core Operations until both of these grants end. The accounting rules require multi-year grants to be booked as revenue in the year the grant commitment was made, even though the revenue supports future year activities. 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. �Combined Statement of Financial Position Cash The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in cash held for special projects, primarily the Early Childhood Investment Corporation and Access to Recreation grants from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Investments The establishment of the CMF Core Services Endowment Fund increased investments by $600,000 for 2007-08, but was offset by the negative investment earnings for the same period. Grants Receivable The decrease from the prior year is due primarily to the balances remaining on the following grants that were awarded in 2006-07. Grant Access to Recreation Early Childhood Investment Corporation A/R 3-31-08 $ 1,475,000 2,950,000 AIR 3-31-07 $7,285,000 4,250,000 (a!, Grants Payable $ 1,300,000 of the increase is due to an outstanding grant due to the Early Childhood Investment Corporation.

Net Assets- Unrestricted- CMF C ore Services Endowment Fund This fund was set up in May 2007.

Advancing giving. Date: May 12,2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Rachel Mraz, CMF Trustee and Investment Committee Member and David R. Lindberg, Vice President Finance & Administration Re: March 31, 2008, Investment Report The following Resolution is presented for consideration: RESOLVED that the March 31, 2008, Investment Report be accepted as presented. On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committees 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 May 16, 2008, the Investment Committee will meet to review and approve the enclosed reports. Since the last CMF Board meeting, the Investment Committee has continued to explore other real estate investment options with a focus on more globally based funds that would provide greater diversification in this category. Alternative vs. Standard Allocation Investment Pools With the addition of the TIFF and Commonfund alternative products, the CMF Endowment Pool now has standard and alternative asset allocation pools. The standard allocation pool is rebalanced on a quarterly basis back to the targeted asset allocation noted in the attached report. The TIFF investment product rebalancing is handled by TIFF. 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. S:\Boards and Committees\CMF\Board\2008-09\5.20.08 Meeting Materials\Investment Report 3-31-08.doc �Investment Report Page 2 Investment Perfor mance 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.

Date: May 12,2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board of Trustees From: Phillip Peters, Audit Committee Chair David Lindberg RE: CMF March 31, 2008 & 2007 Audit Report The fo llowing Resolution is presented for approval. RESOLVED that the March 31,2008 & 2007 Audit Report be accepted as presented. Because the Board Meeting is early this year, the audit report will be delivered at the CMF Board meeting with a copy sent to all board members following the meeting. Differences between Internal Statements and Audited Statements Due to the multi-year grant commitments received from Kellogg for their additional membership dues and Skillman for the Detroit office we will have a difference between the internal and audited statements for CMF Core Operations until both of these grants end. The accounting rules require multi-year grants to be booked as revenue in the year the grant commitment was made, even though the revenue supports future year activities. Grant Kellogg Additional Member Contribution ($750,000 for 2005-06 to 2009-201 0) 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. �Combined Statement of Financial Position The decrease from the prior year is due to the reduction in cash held for special projects, primarily the Early Childhood Investment Corporation and Access to Recreation grants from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Investments The establishment of the CMF Core Services Endowment Fund increased investments by $600,000 for 2007-08, but was offset by the negative investment earnings for the same period. Grants Receivable The decrease from the prior year is due primarily to the balances remaining on the fo llowing grants that were awarded in 2006-07.

Romney Building, Lansing A mortgage crisis is sweeping the nation and in Michigan the problem is even more complex. Over 200,000 Michigan homeowners have subprime mortgages and it's predicted that one-third of these borrowers will lose their homes to foreclosure. Our state has experienced several years of economic downturn including high unemp loyment and depressed home values. Foreclosure's related problems of fami ly upheaval, neighborhood blight and crime have only added to our economic stresses and challenged our community wellbeing. Join us for an educational briefing to examine this crisis from multiple perspectives and discuss opportunities for foundations to assist families and preserve neighborhoods.

This survey is part of a national effort piloted in California by the New York based Foundation Center earlier this year. The survey will be administered next in New York and other regions of the country later this year. The Council of Michigan Foundat ions (CMF) has commissioned the Michigan survey to contribute to the development of national data on charitable foundations and for our five-year initiative, Transforming Michigan Philanthropy through Diversity und Inclusion, approved by the ~oard of Trustees in February 2008 and supported by a lead grant from The Kresge Foundation. Foundation demographics have become a focus of philanthropic research in response to scrutiny by Congress and the media and efforts such as those of the California based Green lining Institute to introduce legislation requiring foundations to document the diversity of their board, staff and grantees. While we do not anticipate such legislation being introduced in Michigan, we need up-todate information on trustee and staff demographics and current diversity policies in order to respond to questions. Please be assured that all individual foundation data will be kept strictly confidential by CRI. Please contact Vicki Rosenberg, vice president education, communications and external relations at 616.842.7080 or vrosenberg@michiganfoundations.org with any questions about this important Survey. We thank you in advance for helping us collect this important data.

Advancing giving. Date: May 12,2008 Memo to: Diana Sieger, Chairperson, and Members of the Board ofTrustees From: Carol Paine-McGovern and Andrea Cole, Co-Chairs, Government Relations Committee and Rob Collier, President Re: Government Relations Report 111 Since the February Board Meeting, CMF celebrated its 30 annual Foundations on the Hill visit. Included as ATTACHMENT A is the list of participants in the Washington visit. Included as ATTACHMENT B is the article from the spring issue of Memo to Members that highlights Foundations on the Hill. There has been a lot of activity on the legislative front both at the federal and state level, and your action is requested on three Resolutions in advance of the update. I. AMENDMENT TO POSITION ON FEDERAL EXCISE TAX RESOLVED that Goal 4 be amended from repeal of the excise tax on private foundations to "Support simplification of the excise tax on private foundations to a flat tax that is revenue neutral for the federal government." Background 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 formula is difficult to administer and limits instead of serving as an incentive for charitable giving. Most small unstaffed private foundations have to rely on accountants to calculate the tax. While CMF has advocated for simplification of the excise tax to a flat one percent as an intermediary step to repeal of the tax, the readers of our Legislative Goals Statement do not always read the rationale statement. Members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation have indicated a willingness to support simplification of the excise tax to a revenue neutral number when they are given the explanation that the current formula of is costing Michigan charitable dollars. According to the Council on Foundations (COF), the Joint Committee on Taxation did an analysis in 1993 that indicated a revenue neutral number would be 1.43%. Because no one knows the current number, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has given a grant to CMF to retain Cambridge Associates to do this analysis. Once this analysis is complete, we will organize a conference call with the Board of CMF and the Government Relations Committee to discuss Page I �how we should use this information. The Council on Foundations (COF) Public Policy Committee, which Rob Collier serves on, has recently amended its position to reflect this revenue neutral position and will be recommending this position to the COF Board. The revenue neutral number is being recommended in light of the federal govemment 's financial situation, and that the government is operating under "pay go" rules in the House of Representatives. This means we could end up with a higher payout rate in exchange for a flat one percent rate. II. POSITION ON CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY BILL 624 RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations joins with the Northern California Grantmakers, Southern California Grantmakers and San Diego Grantmakers - the three California Regional Associations and the C ouncil on Foundations in opposing California Assembly Bill 624 because this legislation: • ignores the commitment of many of our members to better reflect, represent, and serve all populations through the impact of the operations - governance, staffing, business practices and grantmaking - of organized philanthropy, • mandates the collection of data related to the diversity of our boards, staff and grantees that may be impossible to accurately collect, and • has the potential to both negatively impact the very diverse populations and communities it seeks to serve, and to slow-rather than grow - philanthropy and philanthropy' s commitment to serve such populations. RESOLVED further t hat, in recognition of both C MF's Board approved Diversity and Inclusion Initiative and the appropriate bala nce between the voluntary decisions of individual grantmakers with the sector's responsibility to serve the common good and all of society, the Council of Michigan Foundations supports the call to action from the Council on Foundations that all of philanthropy join in a growing commitment to respond to the appropriate concerns about our lack of progress to date and our collective commitment to increasing our value for and leadership to the importance of diversity and inclusiveness in all that we do. Background California Assembly Bill 624 would require all foundations (30) in California with more than $250 million to prov ide annual documentation on the ethnic diversity of foundation trustees, staff, as well as grantees and vendors. While there has been widespread opposition to this Bill, it did pass the Assembly and is now awaiting action by two committees of the Californ ia Senateone which will meet next week. Staff of the Greenlining Institute of Berkeley California, author of the legislation, has met with Congressman Rangle, Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, to encourage introduction of this legislation at the federal level. The Institute has also indicated that it intends to have this legislation introduced in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas. As Chairperson Diana Sieger wrote in her recent Memo to Members letter, we heard from Steve Gunderson at the Council on Foundations that our field must either lead or be legislated. Through our D iversity and Inclusion Initiative we have taken the position to be a leader. At the Page 2 �recent COF Summit, Congressman Becerra of California stated that Congress needs to be able to justify the $32 billion earmark that is gives for gifts to foundations. While not endorsing this California Bill, he made it clear that diversity is also a matter of class and he along with others in Congress want to know how foundations are helping the neediest. III. UPDATE on Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act RESOLVED that CMF support HB 5681, sponsored jointly by Majority Floor Leader Steve Tobocman and Representative Bill Huizenga, to amend the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act to accomplish the following: • The board of directors of a nonprofit corporation would need at least three directors. Currently, the act requires "one or more" directors. Under the bill, an existing corporation would need to have at least three directors beginning 180 days after the bill's effective date. • A corporation that is a "charitable purpose corporation" could not provide loans to or guarantee an obligation of an officer or director of the corporation or a subsidiary, unless the officer or director is also a client of the corporation and the loan or guaranty is necessary to carry out the corporation's charitable purposes. • A charitable purpose corporation that is dissolved would have to provide notice of the dissolution to the attorney general within 60 days after the date of dissolution and could not dispose of any of its assets without written approval of the attorney general. Background State Goal 7 ofCMF's Legislative Goals Statement is to support revisions to the Nonprofit Charitable Act. The full revisions as proposed by a Committee of the State Bar and Michigan Nonprofit Association and CMF is more than 150 pages long. This Bill is the second - following the electronic voting issue discussed in this Board Meeting under Bylaws Amendment- in what will be a series of Bills to move the most critical updates needed. The three changes highlighted above have been identified as vital as to promote accountability in the sector. The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Economic Development and Regulatory Reform. IV. FEDERAL UPDATE Extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover- A CMF Priority A one-year tax extenders plan will be taken up by the House Ways and Means Conunittee during the week of May 12 and should be on the floor this month, according to Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY). The measure is likely to extend tax provisions that expired at the end of 2007, including charitable giving incentives, such as the IRA Charitable Rollover, and renewable energy tax credits which are set to expire at the end of this year. In an effort to avoid an impasse with the Senate that has previously blocked passage of the extenders, Chainnan Rangel reportedly is reconsidering which revenue raisers will be included to offset the cost of the other prOVISIOnS. A broader, two-year extenders bill, S. 2886, may be marked up in the Senate Finance Committee in the first week of June, according to Conunittee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT). A diverse Page 3 �coalition of labor, business and nonprofit organizations wrote to House and Senate leaders urging them to expeditiously move the tax extenders package in a manner that President Bush will sign. The 113 signers ofthe letter stated, "we are troubled by the current impasse that is creating enonnous difficulties across the nation, impeding economic activity and creating confusion in personal and business affairs." Extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover was discussed with all members of the Congressional Delegation during Foundations on the Hill. Extension of the Conservation Easement- A CMF Priority Joanna Foust, Legislative Aide to Representative Dave Camp, reports that the Conservation Easement w ill be included in the new Farm Bill, now being negotiated by a Conference Committee that includes Senator Stabenow. CMF has been in contact w ith Senator Stabenow on the need for this extension. Finally, we learned at Foundation on the Hill, that 2009 will be a significant tax reform year for the federal government. We look forward to having the Government Relations Committee meet in August to discuss these issues, such as repeal of the Estate Tax, and recommend positions to take at the October Board Meeting. V. STATE UPDATE The Low Profit Limited Liability Corporation (the L3C) Act legislation will be introduced this week by Senator Jason Allen, Chair of the Commerce Committee. CMF members w ill be asked to join Rob Collier in testifying as soon as the Committee Meeting is scheduled. Similar legislation has now been passed in Vern1ont. Included as ATTACHMENT C is the Frequently Asked Questions sheet on the L3C distributed at the recent COF Summit. VI. NEWS FROM OTHER STATES Massachusetts Lawmakers have asked state finance officials to study a plan that would impose a 2.5 percent annual assessment on colleges and universities with endowments in the state over $1 billion. Legislators estimate that the assessment fee would raise approximately $1.4 b illion a year, or five percent of the state's annual budget. In support of the approach, State Senate President Therese Murray said, "Some of these institutions give very little back to their communities. With such large endowments, they should be doing more." Universities that could be subject to the annual assessment include Harvard University, Amherst College, Boston College, Boston University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Smith College, Tufts University, Wellesley College, and Williams College. The University of Michigan, with its endowment exceeding $7 billion, would be the largest institution in our state impacted by such a provision. With at least 22 states including Michigan anticipated to be facing budget deficits in 2009, there is likely to be other efforts to legislative revenues from the nonprofit sector. We will continue to monitor the Massachusetts effort and more, such as the property tax case dealing with a day care center in Minnesota.

What is an L3C? An L3C is a low-profit limited liability company, which is simply a variant form of the popular LLC (limited liability company). The LLC is an organization that combines the best features of a partnership (flexibility, ease of organization, and simplified taxation) with the best features of a corporation (liability protection and easier transferability of ownership.) The L3C variant is the brand name for the first viable hybrid structure that links business methods with charitable purposes in a for-profit entity organized to engage in socially beneficial activities. Because L3Cs are a variant of the LLC, they offer instant credibility--a legal and commercial comfort level--that stems from the successful experience investors, suppliers, and consumers have had with LLCs over the last generation. I 2. Are any L3Cs already in operation? Yes, Just two. On April30, 2008 Jim Douglas the Governor of Vermont signed H.775 the first bill in the world authorizing organization as an L3C. Other bills that would make the L3C a reality are currently being considered in a diverse group of state legislatures. Since Vermont has passed legislation authorizing creation of L3Cs, they may be created in that state, and may operate anywhere much as one often incorporates a corporation in Delaware and operates it elsewhere. The first two L3Cs established are L3C Advisors L3C and the second is Non-Profit Investors, L3C formed by a gentleman in Vermont named Nathan Freeman. L3C Advisors L3C was organized by Robert Lang and will include other L3C supporters who have organized it for the purpose of facilitation and assistance in forming L3Cs. 3. How does an L3C differ from a nonprofit charitable organization and how does it differ from a for-profit business? An L3C is run in most ways like a regular business, and may enjoy profits if successful. Its managers need not worry about the unrelated business income tax that applies to charitable organizations, nor that the organization might lose its exempt status because its operations are too commercial. But �The L3 C the for profit with a nonprofit soul unlike a for-profit business, the ultimate aim of the L3C is not to make a profit, but to achieve socially beneficial purposes. The L3C thus occupies a unique niche between the for-profit and charitable sectors. 4. Can you provide examples of the sort of enterprise that might be organized as an L3C? L3Cs would typically involve businesses that serve socially beneficial purposes, and have some economic viability, but which would have difficulty attracting capital because of high risk, low return, or both. A few examples: 1) A hotel planned for a deteriorating central business district would have some ability to generate revenue, but not enough, perhaps, to attract sufficient capital to begin operations. 2) Historic buildings could perhaps be saved, and turned into office and retail property, but the costs of renovation may be so steep that the projected rents cannot support market-rate debt incurred to finance those renovations. 3) A factory that has been the primary employer for much of a town's work force may need to replace obsolete equipment at great cost, leading its owners to explore relocation of manufacturing operations to a lower-cost foreign jurisdiction. In all of these situations, an L3C might be created to undertake the low-return, high-risk business activity involved in these situations, with a view to combating economic deterioration, destruction of historic property, or job loss. 5. But "low-profit" doesn't sound very appealing for investon. How will L3Cs attract the capital they need? This is the key element in this innovative business vehicle. It is expected that at least two and possibly three tiers of capital will be involved in an L3C. First, a junior tier of capital (the capital most at risk in the enterprise) would be provided by foundations in the form of "program related investments" (PRis). PRis are investments that may involve high risk, low return, or both, which are made despite those disadvantages because they are intended to achieve charitable purposes. Under the fede ral tax laws, private foundations must distribute five percent of their capital each year for charitable purposes. Usually, foundations do this by making grants. However, foundations are permitted to make PRis instead, and to count funds so invested in determining compliance with the five-percent requirement. Despite the availability of this opportunity, few foundations make significant investments of this sort, in large part because of the difficulty and expense of being sure that any particular proposed investment would qualify as a PRJ. Because the L3C vehicle is especially created to receive PRis, it is reasonable to hope that the PRI approval process can be streamlined. The foundations holding PRis in an L3C would have the last claim on the assets of the enterprise ) �The L3 C the for profit with a nonprofit soul upon dissolution, and would accept as well a rate of return that would be below the market rate. This tier of capital would, by absorbing risk and making only very modest claims on profits, provide a base that would make the more senior tiers in the capital structure less risky, and more profitable. The most senior tier of capital would be provided by investors that need to generate market rates of return, but that nevertheless would like to invest in projects that provide tangible social benefits. With the PRI capital in place, market rates of return, at acceptably low risk, can be promised to investors of this sort, such as pension funds, community banks- indeed, nearly any sort of socially conscious investor. Perhaps the most interesting tier in the capital structure of an L3C is a potential intermediate tier, between the somewhat risky, low-return PRI, and the market risk-and-return senior tier. The investors participating at this "mezzanine" level would be ones whose notion of return is broader than that of the capitalist who considers only the level of risk and the rate of return. This type of investor is willing to accept some of its return in the form of enhanced social welfare. This group of investors would be junior to the market-rate tier of capital, but senior to the private foundation PRI-generated capital. ( 6. How would an L3C be taxed? In the same way as an LLC is taxed, which in turn resembles the manner by which a partnership is taxed. No federal income tax is imposed on the entity itself. Instead, items of income and expense are allocated among the members of the L3C, and reported on their returns as the income is earned. It is important to note that, although the L3C serves charitable ends, it is not exempt from taxation. Though L3C s by their nature begin as enterprises that are expected to generate low overall profits, if those businesses exceed expectations, the profits generated would be exposed to taxation at whatever rates of tax would apply to their investors. �·- - - - - - - - --- The L3 C is a project of The Mary Elizabeth & Gordon B.
