Since 1973, CMF and Michigan grantmakers have been working together to enhance, improve and increase philanthropy in Michigan. The results have been outstanding as philanthropy contin~~s to grow in our state! In this Annual Report we particularly want to note our 24 Annual Conferences, and our wonderful partners throilghout Michigan that make the results of our work together so satisfYing. As we look forward this fall to our 25th Annual Conference, November 5-7 in Detroit, it is important to reflect on the contributions of distinguished honorary chairs of past conferences, many of whom set the stage for the work that we are able to do today. Our Annual Conference always features our partnerships, and the list of our regional and statewide partners fortunately keeps on growing. We were pleased to welcome several new partners this year, such as the Great Lakes Protection Fund and the Lilly Endowment in partnership with the Indiana Humanities Council and Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy. To deal with public skepticism about foundations and the nonprofit sector, a number of our partnerships in this next year will focus more effort on informing the public, media, and legislators of your good work, and on helping you do the same. We must all do a better job of communicating how grants are making a difference in the lives of individuals, nonprofits , and communities throughout Michigan. We appreciate your support and thank the more than 500 volunteers who contribute their time to CMF. We look with excitement to your continued involvement as we work together for Michigan's future.

Since its incorporation in 1975, CMF has enhanced, improved, and increased philanthropy _in the State of Michigan, primarily by serving its members. Since the inception of CMF more than twenty-five years ago, the method of serving and delivering services has changed significantly, making financial comparisons over the last twenty, ten or even five years difficult. For example, in addition to the core CMF operations , we currently have two supporting organizations (the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project and the Michigan AIDS Fund) . CMF also continues to pursue funding for other special projects. These projects may be short- or long-term in nature, and the majority of funds received for such projects represents funds that are re-granted to CMF's members. The core CMF operations continue to provide basic services, including conferences and meetings that have doubled in size in the past five years. The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project and the Michigan AIDS Fund are classified as supporting organizations under provisions of Section SQ9(a) (3) of the Internal Reyenue Code. Both organizations have experienced continued growth over the past year, due to contributions for special projects and an increase in general purpose grants which are re-granted to CMF members and other nonprofits throughout the State of Michigan. Ernst & Young LLP has issued an unqualified opinion on the combined Financial Statements of CMF and its supporting organizations for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The combined financial statements on the attached page have been derived from the Ernst & Young audit report, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP).

A primary use of the Fund's income at this time is for summer college internships for the alumni of community foundation youth advisory committee members. In 1997 Philip Wahtola from Western Michigan University and the Hillsdale Community Foundation, Jeanie Ringelberg from the University of Michigan and the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation, and Eliza Solowiej from the University of Chicago and the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation are serving as interns. endowment funds or establishing a new fund to further enhance CMF programming to enhance, improve and increase philanthropy in Michigan. Member dues alone are not sufficient to provide the flexible income The William W. Allen Fund Since its establishment in 1989 as the first CMF endowment fund, the William WAllen Fund has helped to further CMF's government relations work on federal and state legislative and regulatory matters. The Fund enables CMF to present a biennial seminar for legis- lators and their aides, to distribute complimentary copies of The Michigan Foundation Directory to each legislative office, and supports CMF's involvement in the FORUM of Regional Associations of Grantmakers, our national organization. needed for the special publications and projects mentioned in this Report. These endowment funds provide a lasting legacy for future generations to help others and to give of themselves. 20 The Russell G. Mawby Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy The CMF board established the Russell G. Mawby Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy in Michigan in 1996 to honor Dr. Mawby's significant contributions to Michigan philanthropy. Income from the Fund is providing seed funding for new collaboratives, such as the K-12 project, and special publications, such as the paper on the sale of nonprofit hospitals to for-profit corporations. �Advisory Cabinet Chair Dr. Russell G.

Twenty-five years later and with extreme pride, we share our 1997-98 annual report. While the report reflects our years of service to Michigan grantmakers, it also highlights our steadfast members, partners and volunteers who work with us to increase, enhance and improve philanthropy in Michigan. Mariam C. Noland Chair Dorothy A. Johnson President & CEO On the inside cover pages of this annual report is a listing of 418 grantmakers who support CMF's work. These grantmakers, united in their desire to work together for Michigan's future, have made CMF what it is today: a strong, vital organization, recognized and respected by an ever increasing number of diverse donors, nonprofits, legislators and citizens. Without our members, our good work could not have been accomplished. To them, we give our heartfelt thanks. As CMF symbolically blows out the candles on the past 25 years, we simultaneously light the stage for many more years of creatively finding effective solutions to important social problems. Like many grantmakers and nonprofit leaders, CMF has found that one of the most effective ways to speed the process of change is to identify examples of good practice and to encourage study and attention to them. While we use this philosophy in structuring all educational events, publications, and programs, our 25th anniversary celebration gave us cause to release a new publication, Making a Difference, developed specifically for this purpose. Distributed complimentarily to all who are interested in Michigan's future, the publication provides representative examples of how CMF members are changing their communities for the better. There's no doubt that the future will be challenging. From challenges, however, come opportunities. We hope that as you face new grantmaking challenges, you will share your needs, concerns, and programs that work so other grantmakers can benefit .from your experience. Together, we can continue making a difference in Michigan. ••• •• ••• ••1 �C.M F Offic.ers and ~oard of Trustees The Council of Michigan Foundations is governed by a 27 -member Board of Trustees.

Under the K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project, classroom teachers are developing academic content about philanthropy and volunteerism to increase students' awareness of the tradition of private citizens working for the common good. The new lessons, units, modules, and materials will be linked to the Content Standards for social studies and language arts, and will be used in school systems throughout Michigan. According to the Michigan Public Opinion Survey results released in ·April of 1997, there is a general public misperception of the amount of services provided by nonprofits. The Michigan Public Policy Initiative (MPPI) addresses this misperception with facts, and assists policymakers to better understand the impact of 'new federalism' in Michigan on the nonprofit sector. MPPI will host a series of informational forums and seminars for members of the private, public and nonprofit sectors during 1998 and 1999 with a focus on the impact of term limits. MPPI is a joint venture of the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Council of Michigan Foundations, and is supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. CMF is serving as facilitator for the Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative, developed to expand the environmental grantmaking by shoreline community foundations from Duluth, MN to Rochester, New York. Initiated by grants from the Great Lakes Protection Fund of Chicago and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Collaborative has already helped to generate more than $2 million in local endowment support for environmental needs. Twenty-one participating community foundations are receiving technical assistance in fund development, up to $5,000 for technology, speaker fees, and other capacity building needs, and up to $15,000 to start or strengthen permanent endowment funds . • • • • • • • • • •7 �t:Mf Todaf 1~'11- ~s High\ights: •65 new members welcomedmore than double our Membership Committee's goal. •40 members made additional contributions to support CMF programs and special projects . •Special project funding totalled $2,088,500. •Technical assistance helped Michigan community foundations raise their combined assets to $1 billion ... annual grantmaking exceeds $50 million. •A staffed office opened in Detroit with targeted services for family foundations .

Since its founding, the Fund has awarded more than $5':5 million to Michigan's AIDS service organizations, The MiGhigan AID'5 fUND Since its inception in 1989, the Michigan AIDS Fund's purpose has been to serve people with AIDS and their caretakers by serving the grantmakers who want to support AIDS causes. The Fund earned special distinction during 1997 by becoming the top grantmaking Community Partner of the National AIDS Fund. More Michigan AIDS Fund information can be found at Web site: www/msu.michaidsfund. org/ But the Fund is adding even more value to its grantees over the next three years through a $175,000 technical assistance grant from the Skillman Foundation. As AIDS has become a chronic disease rather than a certain death sentence, AIDS service organizations must change their strategies and even their services to address long-term (rather than the short-term palliative needs) of people with AIDS, The Skillman grant allows the Fund to provide strategic planning consultation for capacity building in this very issue to nine agencies in southeast Michigan. Other major Fund projects in 1997-98 have provided benefits both to grantees and to funders: •The W ,K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation provided major support for a series of four symposia on HIVI AIDS service delivery to help foundations, legislators, managed care organizations and others decide how best to use funds. National and local experts on issues surrounding this long-term epidemic gathered to pinpoint critical issues and offer consensus recommendations. An abstract based on the symposia will be published and presented at the 1998 World Conference on AIDS in Geneva, Switzerland, •The Michigan Conference on AIDS was held May 28 · and 29 in Ypsilanti. Keynote speakers and workshops offered intensive discussions on such issues as agency collaboration, the role of the faith community in HIVI AIDS service, and the special needs of women with AIDS, Dennis Stover, executive director, Michigan AIDS Fund 18 ••••••••••• •The Fund convened the first meeting of its Corporate Advisory Board. �The Mic.higan C.ommunit1 Foundation&' Youth 'Projec.t (MC.FY'P) MCFYP supports the growth of community foundations and the involvement of high school youth as grantmakers with community foundation youth advisory committees.

In January, Dottie Johnson shared with the Board that she will be leaving her position as CMF president aUhe beginning of2000. In _ pottie's own words, she is "graduatin_g to a level where there will be · more time to undertake new volunteer and corporate opportunities." During her tenure of25 years of service, Dottie has helped with the creation ofhundreds of foundations and has impacted the Michigan philanthropic sector in numerous ways, including •the passage ofthe Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit •the Michigan Community Foundations'Youth Project, bringing the services of community foundations to all residents •the Michigan K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project •the Tobacco Settlement Project •the creation of the Michigan AIDS Fund, and •the establishment ofthe Michigan Nonprofit Association. Dottie exemplifies the philanthropic giver. She gives time and energy far beyond the call of duty in promoting the value of philanthropy throughout the state and nation. She has tirelessly contributed an immeasurable amount ofhours, traveling to various urban and rural locations to offer information and resources to grantmakers, legislators, the medi£~, and the public. Currently, the boards of 15 nonprofit organizations- including the Michigan Community Service Commission and Corporation for National Service-are the beneficiaries of Dottie's unique collaborative ability. Dottie will continue her strong giving legacy to CMF by volunteering. She will also be involved as a member through the Donor Advised Fund she and her husband, Mart, have established at the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation. Dottie leaves CMF with growing membership, many special collaboratives, and great opportunities to increase philanthropy further in our state. The Board ofTrustees is unanimous in expressing its admiration and gratitude for her many accomplishments on behalf of CMF and the citizens ofthe state. Dottie's passion and enthusiasm for philanthropy are an inspiration! We look forward to celebrating her graduation with members and friends at our 27th Annual Conference in Grand Rapids. In July 1999, we were saddened to lose CMF trustee Harold Holland- who, like Dottie, took the role of collaborator to heart. He will be missed by all who have come to know him as a reliable and valuable member ofthe philanthropic community. �Letter from the r ent Thank you for the opportunity It is with gratitude, inspiration, and affection that I write my last annual report to the CMF membership. Next January, I will have served you for 25 years. Some people call CMF a servantleader organization. Yes, I am very proud of what we have accomplished working together to enhance, to improve, and to increase philanthropy in our state.

Our youth are now active grantmakers. We congratulate each community fou ndation for their achievements. " -Will iam C. Richardson, President & CEO W. K. Kellogg Foundation Kellogg Challenge Completion An eight-year effort to create permanent en- dowed youth funds at every community foundation in the state and to provide every citizen with access to a community foundation successfully concluded this year. Launched by a one-fortwo challenge grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of up to $1 million per community foundation, highlights ofthe challenge include: • 56 community foundations and 30 affiliates/ component funds participated. • Over $86 million was raised locally for community foundations. • More than $43 million has been paid to create 86 permanent youth funds. • 56 Youth Advisory Committees have made 2,700 grants totaling over $4.8 million. • 1998 assets ofMichigan community foundations exceed $1.2 billion. • 1998 grants paid by Michigan community foundations totaled more than $90 million. •The MCFYP website at www.mcfyp.org is increasing in popularity, recording more than 2,600 hits to date. Three interactive real-time chats have been hosted.

My name is Erin Carroll and I 'm a member of the Kamloops Youth Advisory Council. It just started this year and we got the idea from you. Thanks a bunch. In September, we're giving information about the YAC to the Canadian Student Leadership Conference. Its not just an American thing anymore. " •Information dissemination efforts continue with national and international funders from Canada, Italy, the Czech Republic, Belgium, England, Poland and Slovakia. �Tl Michigan Project In the 1998-99 grant year, the Fund provided $1 .2 million in grants to AIDS service organizations throughout Michigan. The Fund also conducted the following activities as a means to advance the fight against AIDS: •With support from the Skillman Foundation and Jewish Fund in Detroit, nine AIDS service organizations in Southeast Michigan are receiving extensive technical assistance over three years to help build capacity to respond to the long-term needs of people with AIDS. • Boosted the success of several AIDS walks across the state by uniting them under the umbrella of AIDS Walk Michigan 1998. The single-day event raised more than $440,000 for AIDS organizations in ten communities and provided an opportunity for countless people to hear powerful prevention messages. •Collaborated with the HIVIAIDS Alliance ofMichigan and several ofthe world's premier pharmaceutical companies to host a "Legislative HIV/AIDS Policy Briefing" luncheon to brief state lawmakers about the realities ofHIV/AIDS. The AIDS ribbon, an icon of hope, also is a call to action. The Michigan AIDS Fund is Michigan's only statewide pooled response to AIDS and pledges to work toward a ''day without AIDS." •With support from the Charles Stewart Mott and W.K. Kellogg foundations , the Fund published a scientific monograph, "HIV/AIDS Prevention and Service: A Guide for Programs and Funding in the 21 51 Century," was published as a roadmap for funders and AIDS service organizations facing the new realities ofthe epidemic since the advent of combination therapies. Sandra Thurman, director ofthe Office ofNational AIDS Policy at the White House helped launch national and international distribution of the monograph in October 1998. •Through the Prevention Partnership Initiative with the Michigan Department of Community Health, invaluable fmancial and technical assistance has been provided to prevention efforts across the State of Michigan. Established the Michigan AIDS Fund in 1989 "to support efforts to stop the spread ofHIV/AIDS and to alleviate the suffering of those infected and affected by the AIDS epidemic," the Fund has awarded nearly $6 million in grants and other resources to AIDS service organizations that conduct prevention programs and pro':ide direct care to Michigan residents living with HIV/AIDS. �Special Project K-12 m Teaching the importance of voluntary action for the common good in a demodatic society I Project (left) lscella Brooks, a 1999 graduate of Murray Wright HighSchool The second year of the K-12 Education in Philanthropy Project ended successfully with 106 completed lessons ready for distribution, four learning themes identified, new supporters committed to the project, and a summer residential institute planned for thirty new teachers to become involved in the project. The first set oflessons and the briefmg papers will be on the Web site during the fall of 1999 at www. msu.edu/ ~kl 2phill At each grade level, students are translating their academic knowledge about philanthropy into servicelearning activities that provide a "hands-on" experience as both "givers" and "doers." •In the elementary grades, students are learning that the definition of philanthropy is the sharing oftime, talent and treasure. They can identify selfishness versus selflessness, and what behaviors are important to their "community"- the classroom. Children at Woodward Elementmy (Detroit) participate in a philanthropy lesson using the book, "The Little Yellow Chicken." Supporters In addition to the continuing support provided by the W.K.

Since that time growth has been dramatic. During the past four years CMF has experienced growth of 42% in membership and a 57% increase in member contributions. In 1993, two supporting organizations were formed to further the mission of CMF; the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF). The Russell G. Mawby Endowment Fund to Improve and Increase Philanthropy was established during fiscal year 1994-95 to honor Dr. Mawby, a former Chairman and CEO of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Dr. Mawby is also one of the founders and first chairman of the Council ofMichigan Foundations. The purpose of this Fund is to improve and increase philanthropy by continuing and expanding CMF's efforts to enhance philanthropy and increase charitable resources within the State of Michigan. Since 1988, CMF (and later, MCFYP)- through funds they received from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation- has offered challenge grants to community foundations to build permanent youth endowment funds. During this time, over $46,000,000 has been granted to community foundations for permanent youth endowment funds . On the Combined Balance Sheet the decrease in investments from the prior year is the result of the maturity of two US Treasury Securities that were placed in a money market account, for future disbursements to community foundations. Based on current funding, MCFYP will continue to provide technical assistance to community foundations through March 31 , 2001. Because of the success of this project and the growth of community foundations in recent years, the need to provide technical support to community foundations will continue beyond the current funding period. The MCFYP Board of Trustees has established a permanent funding vehicle in the form of a Board Designated Fund for future technical assistance. As the funding for MCFYP begins to wind down, the CMF combined statements have experienced a decrease in Grants and Other Contributions from the previous year. The final phases of this project have also resulted in a decrease in the number of grants awarded to community foundations during the past year. The Ruth and Russ Mawby Fund For Kids was established in fiscal year 1995-96 with the expressed purpose of improving and increasing philanthropy through youth involvement in the State of Michigan. On the Combined Statements of Activities and Changes in Net Assets, the Grants and Other Contributions for CMF General Operations & Special Projects, totaled $1 ,949,415 for 1999. The major portion of these contributions represent funds for the K-12 Education in Philanthropy, Community Foundation Venture Products and Great Lakes Collaborative projects. Thanks to the generous support of our members, four endowment funds have been established as permanent funding sources to help meet our mission of improving and increasing philanthropy around the state of Michigan. Those four endowment funds have grown to a current market value of $7,082,83 3. The William W. Allen Endowment Fund was established to further the understanding of private philanthropy in federal and state legislative and regulatory matters while recognizing William W. Allen, a long-time CMF board member and supporter. The Michigan Community Foundations ' Youth Project Board Designated Fund was established by the MCFYP Board of Trustees in 1995. They have designated that all investment earnings from this project be placed in a board designated fund for future community foundation programming needs. The current market value of this fund stands at $4,771 ,266 as of March 31 , 1999.

We are grateful to all who contributed to the creation of the two special endowment funds created in Dottie's name and to Grand Valley State University for renaming their Center on Philanthropy in her honor. The Board has named Dottie president emeritus, and Rob has retained her with our support to assist on three special projects-one being publication of the much awaited study on the payout issue completed in May. Rob brings 20 plus years of experience as a volunteer, trustee and staff member of CMF to his new role. We already see the momentum that he and Dottie created as a team over the past five years continuing with exciting new partnerships involving our members and the state on the issues ofhomelessness and individual development accounts. The Board has approved a Strategic Planning Process that will begin this fall with Williams Marketing Services of Grand Rapids. You can expect to hear from us as we ask for your guidance on issues such as membership growth and involving the next generation. . During the year there were three changes in the Board of CMF. We joined our colleagues in mourning the unexpected passing of Bill Beckham, president of The Skillman Foundation. We will miss his leadership and are now seeking an appropriate replacement. We also thanked Jack Hopkins, president ofthe Kalamazoo Foundation for his service and·welcomed Neeta Delaney, president of the Community Foundation of Jackson County to complete Jack's term. in leadership .. . our purposes remain constant.

Philanthropy Community Foundations Fund ----------------~ 12 �Jjear mded cMarch 31 2000 The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), an association offoundations and corporations making grants for charitable purposes, was incorporated in 1975 . CMF continues to experience tremendous growth in the area of membership and special project opportunities aimed at enhancing, increasing and improving philanthropy in Michigan (see descriptions of these projects earlier in this report). CMF is also responsible for two supporting organizations, the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures (MCFV) and the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAP) as noted earlier in this report, which were established in 1993. These organizations were established to meet a specific need of the membership. The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project was renamed the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures in 1999 with a purpose of supporting the joint program efforts of community foundations in the State of Michigan. MAP continues to remain a leader in meeting philanthropy's response to the AIDS epidemic in Michigan and serves as a national model for other organizations. CMF's success is due to the tremendous support of its members which is evidenced by the five endowment funds totaling $9,727,585, that have been established over the last several years.

Kellogg Foundation and the C.S. Mott Foundation, continues to be the primary project of MCFV. Activities this year have focused on : Mission: • Minimum standards-47 community foundation boards have validated that their community foundations meet standards on governance, finance and administration, donor relations, grantmaking, communications and convening. • A common identity system-All Michigan community foundations now include the word community in their name. Many are now presenting their name in a common way while retaining local logos . • A capacity building curriculum-Trustees and staff participated in a series of four interactive distance-learning sessions on marketing . • A statewide professional advisor marketing campaign-Ads placed with statewide professional period icals, and magazines like Business Week have been complemented by local activities for advisors. To support joint programs of community foundations that result in economies of operations and growth in assets. Board of Trustees ' ack Hopkins, Chair Mariam C. Noland , Vice Chair Robert G.

Re y nolds Diana R. Sieger Jeanne Snow Da v id A. Woodworth For good. For ever... Products from the first phase of the Venture Products Fund, such as the PowerPoint presentation, What is a Community Foundation?, and the tag line For Good. For Ever., are now being used by community foundations throughout the United States. The work of the Venture Products Fund is being continued in 2001 and 2002 as the Community Foundation Research and Development Incubator, overseen by a national advisory committee including Michigan community foundations. Working together, community foundations in Michigan are proving that "it's about leveraging our collective strength to benefit each community foundation." 10 �I A decade of compassion. A new era of hope. Since it was formed by a group of grantmakers in 1989, the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) has distributed more than $6 million from 100 plus grantmakers in funding and resources to block the spread of HIV/AIDS in Michigan. It has supported programs with demonstrable success such as peer education, outreach to runaways, homeless and incarcerated youth, and testing and counseling for women. MAF exceeded its fundraising goal for the year and awarded grants totaling $614,297 to 21 organizations located throughout the state. Four examples of these grants are: • • • • $8,400 to Community AIDS Benefit Services in Kalamazoo $10,000 to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community in Baraga $16,000 to Alternatives for Girls in Detroit $17,000 to .Wellness Networks- Grand Traverse Area in Traverse City Mission: To help reduce the spread and alleviate the suffering caused by HIV/AIDS by serving as an intermediary support organization between philanthropy and HIV/AIDS organizations and those affected by the epidemic in Michigan.

Getz A . James Heynen Eric Jirgens Barbara Jones Jay Kaplan Glenn F. Kossick Judith D. Rumelhart Elizabeth C. Sullivan David K. Swenson Terri D . Wright As a result of a Strategic Planning process, the Board of MAF determined that it was time for the organization to become fully independent with its own Executive Director after ten years of nurturing from the Greystone Group in Grand Rapids. After a search process, Glen Jack started on January 1 as Executive Director, and he opened MAF's new office in Southfield in May. The Board has appointed Jim Heynen, President of the Greystone Group, to a vacant seat. The work of the Michigan AIDS Fund continues because: there are at least 1,100 new infections every year in our state; nearly 6,000 residents have died from AIDS, at least 13,000 neighbors and friends are living with the disease in Michigan.

Allen Fund The Fund honors the lifetime work of William W. Allen, founder of the Allen Foundation, and a long-time trustee of CMF . Since its establishment in 1989 (as CMF's first endowed fund), it has helped to further CMF's government relations work on federal and state legislative and regulatory matters. Established by Ruth and Russell Mawby in 1996, the Fund assists CMF in strengthening the involvement of youth in philanthropy. A primary use of the Fund's income is for summer college internships for the alumni of community foundation youth advisory committees. The CMF board established this Fund in 1994 to honor Dr. Mawby's significant contributions to Michigan philanthropy. It provides seed funding for new collabo ratives, such as the Learning to Give project, and for developing and publish ing special publications. 12 Established in 1999 to honor CMF's President Emeritus, the Fund supports the nationally recognized speakers for CMF's annual conference and for special training events promoting principles and best practices. Established by the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Board in 1995 and transferred to CMF in 1999, the Fund supports special technical assistance activities for community foundations . �Treasurer's Report Year Ended March 31, 2001 The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF), an association of foundations and corporations making grants for charitable purposes, was incorporated in 1975 to enhance, increase and improve philanthropy in Michigan (see descriptions of these projects earlier in this report). The primary purpose of CMF is meeting the ever changing needs of its diverse membership through its core services, which are primarily funded by three sources of income (see related charts for revenue sources and major core services expenditures). In addition to the core services, CMF has been fortunate to be able to take advantage of special project opportunities to benefit its members. Of particular note this past year is the Tobacco Settlement grant from the State of Michigan which has resulted in the distribution of $12,603,037 to Michigan community foundations to promote programs for healthy youth and healthy seniors. Thanks to the tremendous support of its members, CMF has also been able to react to special opportunities, through the establishment of five endowment funds totaling $9,134,557. William W.

MAF was formed to meet philanthropy's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Michigan . The Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project was renamed the Michigan Community Foundations' Ventures in 1999 with the purpose to support the joint program efforts of community foundations in the State of Michigan.

AND FRIENDS We are pleased to highlight some of the many services the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) has offered to our members in the past year."As f1 nussion- . . driven organization, CMF exists solely to serve _its members and advance giving in Michigan. The Strategic Plan, approved by the Board in February 2002, continues to guide our work a nd the accomplishments shared here. On the Board level, t,his was a year of significant transition with two founding trustees, Margaret Ann (Ranny) Riecker, President of the Herbert H . and Grace A. Dow Foundation, and Gil Hudson, Chair of the Hudson-Webber Foundation, retiring after a combined 45 plus years of service. Appreciation for service was also extended to Trustees Richard Rappleye then of the CS. Mott Foundation and now the kresge Foundation and Don Parfet from the Donald and Ann Parfet Family Founda~ion. VALUES We build MEMBERS We welcom.ed new Trustees: David Egner front the. Hudson-Webber Foundation, Russell Gabier from the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, Phillip Peters from the CS. Mott Foundation, and Peggy Thompso~ from the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation. Earlier in the year the Board appointed Heath Meriwether from the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan to complete the term of Alan Gilmour. We are pleased that our auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, has again provided an . unqualified opinion on the audited financial statements. We ha~e been careful stewards and have done some significant belt-tightening, particularly in recognition o(the challenging economy. As a result, we were able to postpone a dues in~rease · until April of 2004-nine years without a change-a new record in our history. With questions of accountability being raised by members of Congress and a significant turnover in our State Legislature, CMF has been busy working on your behalf helpin.g lawmakers understand the value of philanthropy to our communities and the people of Michigan.Your participation and support is much appreciated. We k>ok forward to continuing to serve you in 2003-2004 and to welcoming you to the ~1st Annual Conference, November 10-12, 2003 in Grand Rapids. r.~.·v(~ ~az · C. DAVID CAMPBELL Chair ROBERT S.

Lessons learned are being shared through the multi-state Community Foundation Regional Marketing Initiative, a two-year program involving communityfoundations in Mary land, South Carolina and Iowa. • The Communities of Color Task Force supported seven Michigan community foundations working to expand and diversify their donor bases within the African-American and Hispanic communities.

Ulsh INCREASE, ENHANCE AND IMPROVE PHILANTHROPY IN MICHIGAN. �FOR OUR MEMBERS ADVOCATE FOR A LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO PHILANTHROPY. CMF has built a national reputation as an effective advocate for foundations in Lansing and Washington. This year, that reputation led to invitations for several CMF members and staff to serve on the national Panel on the Nonprofit Sector convened by Independent Sector at the request of the Senate Finance Committee, and on many of its working groups. This service to philanthropy is an extension of the national leadership CMF has provided for many years. Work in this area is guided by our Government Relations Committee. In Lansing, CMF's work focused on advising the state attorney general about the work of foundations and on connecting leaders from foundations and government around such shared priorities as criminal justice, early childhood, healthcare, K-12 education, land use and workforce development. CMF's work in this area is guided by our Public Policy Committee, which partners with vhe Office of the Foundation Liaison in the Office of the Governor. o.urvalues RELATIONSHIPS, INCLUSION, KNOWLEDGE, SERVANT LEADERSHIP, EXCELLENCE. �MICHIGAN PHILANTHROPY FACTS - CMF's 399 members represent over 91% of foundation assets in Michigan National Ranking*: - 6th in total foundation assets significant growth in phlllartt.OCrOp'lC increase - nearly 21,000 - in gifts to community foundations. And, to support effective practice, CMF sent each of Michigan's 99 new foundations information on standards of good practice and on legal and regulatory at $21.6 billion - 8th in total foundation giving of $1.2 billion - Top giving area- Public requirements along with an invitation to join our vibrant network of foundation and corporate giving staff and trustees. Benefit/Society at $212 million - 12th in number of foundations at 2,127 Supporting innovative projects at the request of its members is a hallmark of CMF's service and one of the reasons for Michigan's national reputation as a philanthropic trailblazer. In Playing Matchmaker for Grantmakers, one of four case *Michigan Foundation Directory 14th Edition, 2005, Council of Michigan Foundations/The Foundation Center studies published by The Monitor Institute in 2005, CMF is showcased as one of a handful of "new b>okers helping to increase che effectiveness of American philanthropy." CMF serves as fiscal agent for: The Lt. Governor's Commission on Higher Education and Economic Growth, established by Governor Jennifer Granholm to identify strategies for doubling the number of state residents with degrees and other postsecondary c•edentials by 2015 . Four CMF members served on the Commission whose recommendations include: improved high school graduation standards, better transfer protocols between colleges and universities and a new student assessment accepted for college admissions.

ANDY GOODMAN, PLAYING MATCHMAKER FOR GRANTMAKERS, THE MONITOR INSTITUTE, 2005. �FOR OUR MEMBERS NETWORK MICHIGAN GRANTMAKERS WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH GRANTSEEKERS.

Dear Jlllem.bers and F1·imds: It has been a good year for philanthropy in Michigan. Despite a cha.llenging economy, assets for giving have increased and the number of new foundations and donor advised funds at community foundations continues to grow. Foundations are demonstrating their leadership ;md effectiveness locally, regionally and at the state level. We are pleased to share some of the key accomplishments of CMF and our members in advancing our mission to strengthen, promote and increme philanthropy in A1ichigtll1. Philanthropy is changing quickly in Michigan, nationally and globally, and rour Board and staff recognize that CMF needs co be able to both respond wand anticipate these changes. We have continued to explore our guiding principles of membership and rhe Yalues that make CMF effective. The Face.; ofour Foundruiom - the tide of this Annual Report- reflect many of these principles and values- especially our commitment to diversity and inclusion. How do we put this commitment into action? With the help of a consultant, we have focused both internally <md externally on how we can be a culturally competent organization with the needed systems, policies. attitudes and behaviors. And, we are making progress in this commitment to change and growth which is now integrated throughout our Strategic Plan and annual Plan of\V'ork and artietJated in a new Board resolution. \V'ork to date has included: an examination of and steps to strengthen our internal etdture; a series of focus groups to gather in pur from members and trustees; a revision to personnel policies; initiation of a long-term plan tor staff training, including 1OOo/o panicipation in Facing Rtlcism; an in-depth audit of our communications; formaliting a commitment to oflering an inclusive and cultural1y competent annual conference; and making diversity and inclusion a commitment of our Governance Committee covering future Board nominations and Board training. We look forward to sharing more on this commitment as part of our Annual Members l\1eeting in October. At our 2006 Annual Meeting during the 34rh Atmual Conterence in Kalamazoo. we thanked retiring trustee Elizabeth Sullivan, senior vice president- program and administration at The Kresge Foundation for her nine years of service. We especially noted her outstanding leadership as a trustee and chairperson of the Michigan AIDS Fund. And we welcomed new trustees: Sterling Speirn, president and CEO, \V'.K. Kellogg Fmmdarion. Allan Gilmour, chairman, Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan and Rachel Mraz, trustee, Eileen and Brian DeVries Family Foundation. The bylaws were updated with two important changes: Rachel now holds a special Board position reserved for a trustee, starT or yourh grantmaker under age 30; and JuJie Fisher Cummings, as past chair, is now a member of the Executive Committee. The l-!nancial summary in this Annual Report confirms that CMF's financial pbsition remains strong. Rebmann Robson, our auditor, has provided an itnqualified audit for rhe fiscal year ending March 3L 2007 - a copy of which is available fi-om the CMF olll.ce. We thank you for your support and look forward to having you join us at the 35th Annual Conf-erence, Transfimning lvfid1igau- Leading, bmou,uing; Coll<:tbomting.

We are grateful to our members, Michigan's Congressional Delegation, Governor Granholm, the Michigan Legislature and Congressman Dave Camp who serves on the Ways and Means Committee for their support. Forty-two CMF members joined CMF Chair Diana Sieger and Midland Area Community Foundation Chair Brian Rodgers in presenting the Friend of Philanthropy Award to Congressman Camp at our annual Foundations on the Hill visit in March for his help in passing the IRA Charitable Rollover. And, for the first time in CMF's history, the Board approved a resolution recommended by the Public Policy Committee stating CMF's concern about the negative impact the State's budget crisis is having on the nonprofit sector and quality of life in Michigan. FOUNDATION STAFF AND TRUSTEES ABOUT EFFECTlVE PRACTICE. CMF met its commitment to providing Michigan grantmakers with exceptional learning opportunities on best practices and critical issues in philanthropy through over 60 workshops, briefings, retreats, teleconferences, print and online resources and the highly regarded annual conference, Delivering on the Promise ofPhilanthropy- our 34th! 3 A highlight for the year was being the first regional association in the nation to host Essential Skills and Strategies for New Grantmakers, the new national curriculum developed through a partnership among CMF, the Council on Foundations, Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers and Grantmakers of Western Pennsylvania. Also of note were the corporate grantmaker teleconference series on strengthening the strategic value of employee volunteer and community involvement programs; the Boston College Institute on Corporate Citizenship; Investment Basics 101 teleconference series; monthly family foundation teleconferences from the National Center for Family Philanthropy; the 8th annual Family Foundations Retreat with attendees ages 3-to-93; and the second annual community foundation CEO Retreat with the Ohio Grantmakers Forum. Detroit Area Grantmakers continued its successful monthly lunch and lecture series featuring experts on race, higher education, the economy, the arts and other topics. �Michigan ranks 5th in the U.S. in total foundation assets of $24.9 billion, over 88% of which is held by CMF members. The 15th edition of the CMF Michigan Foundation Directory, produced in fall 2006, confirmed the creation of more than 265 new foundations in Michigan since 2004. CMF continues to contribute to community foundations' growth via education, technical assistance and marketing initiatives which helped leverage 197 new donor advised funds and 59,300 individual gifts. And, CMF helped individuals, corporations and professional advisors understand their organized giving options through over 50 complimentary consultations this year and through our valued guide, Establishing a Charitable Foundation in Michigan (4th edition). AND SUPPORT COLLABORATIVE PHILANTHROPIC RESPONSES TO CRITICAL NEEDS. CMF helps foundations connect with each other and with government agencies to share perspectives, develop innovative solutions and engage in public-private partnerships to achieve systemic reforms that improve quality of life in Michigan. This work is informed by the Public Policy Committee and active affinity groups on early childhood, aging, women & girls issues and land use and staffed by the William C. Richardson Fellow in Public Policy & Philanthropy. CMF also serves as fiscal agent for two projects: Initiated and funded by CMF members, the non-partisan Office of the Foundation Liaison to the Governor {OFL), educates State officials about foundations and helps forge relationships and support the development of partnerships between the State and foundations in five shared policy priority areas - early childhood development, land use, health, workforce development and education - leveraging over $40 million in public-private dollars in 2006. CMF's role as host for the Joyce Foundation funded Early Learning Michigan Initiative ended this year and a new role as fiscal agent for the Early Childhood Investment Corporation (ECIC) began with support from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Created by Governor Granholm with input from CMF's Early Childhood and Ready by Five affinity groups and bi-partisan support from the Legislature, the ECIC seeks to ensure that every young child in Michigan has a great start in life. CMF members Marvin McKinney, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and Susan Broman, Steelcase Foundation, serve on the ECIC Board.

These principles address the question often asked by the public- What do foundations stand for? A copy of the principles and suggested implementation strategies for each have been provided to all members and are available at cmif.org. • Adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior in all foundation actions. • Honor donor(s) intent. • Have an identifiable active governing board - a decision-making body that sets and regularly reviews policies on: governance, including conflict of interest; grantmaking; finance and administration, including audit; and communications. • Be accessible by having bas ~c grantmaking information readily available regarding funding priorities and • Build constructive relationships based on mutual respect, candor, confidentiality and understanding with the public, applicants, grantees and donors. • Strive to include the perspectives, opinions and experiences of the broadest possible cross-section of people to inform the foundation through its grantmaking, through the composition of its board, committees, staff and advisors/consultants and through its business practices. • Support continuous learning by trustees, staff and grantees. application requirements.

Funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, MCFYP began with two goals, to build viable community foundations and to involve youth in philanthropy. There are now 61 community foundations and 34 geographic funds providing access to citizens in each of our 83 counties. In addition, 86 permanent youth endowed funds are now overseen by more than 1,500 high school youth grantmakers annually. Since MCFYP began more than 5,000 young people have been involved in awarding more than $3 million. It is through your accomplishments and hard work that MCFYP and youth grantmaking has become a national and international model for involving the next generation in philanthopy. Congratulations - our goals have been completed and surpassed our expectations! This Data book contains examples of community foundation grants and leadership activities that _are making a difference throughout Michigan. It also offers examples of proactive grants by the community foundation youth advisory committees. I offer my sincere appreciation to the MCFYP Board of Trustees and the members of the State Youth Advisory Board for the leadership and talent they have contributed. MCFYP will now become a permanent committee of CMF with the majority of its members youth under the age of 21. This Committee will oversee the continued technical assistance activities supporting youth grantmaking. CMF will continue to offer specialized technical assistance for community foundations, especially those with assets of under $10 million. In keeping with our mission to increase philanthropy in Michigan, we are committed to helping community foundations and their youth grantmakers continue the momentum started by MCFYP. We can all be proud of the achievements ofthe Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project, and the role it will continue to play in the 21 st Century!

With this in mind, the Community Foundation Committee of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) has adopted the following best principles and practices and recommends their adoption by the boards of trustees of community foundations and an annual review for new and current trustees. Michigan is unique in having community foundations included in the state tax code as a result of the individual and business tax credits. The goal of these best principles and practices to promote well-run community foundations that can best maximize the potential for asset growth and grantrnaking in their communities. CMF has a close relationship with the Community Foundations Committee of the Council on Foundations in Washington that is working on the development of national standards for community foundations. It is recognized that the principles for best practices summarized below represent a "work in progress" that will eventually be merged into one national document for community foundations. While state and/or federal law require many of the best practice principles, the Committee recognizes there are different approaches to implementation of some principles. As a result, CMF has developed a manual on Best Practices for each of the six main principle headings. It is also recognized that the six main principles are integrated- e.g. that communications is key to effective governance, administration, asset development . . ' I . and grantrnaking. Copies of these ,manuals along ~ith sample forms can be obtained from CMF. Intended to be instructional, these practices are reviewed annually in order to. share what 'works best for conimunity foundations. Additional ideas are always welcome. 1.

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation A grant to assist in the development of a pilot outreach program for high-risk homeless addicts. Committed to breaking the cycle of addiction, Dawn Farm proposed a transitional facility that supports addicts and alcoholics that are chronically homeless and unemployed. The grant funds were used to support research for a pilot program that Ann Arbor never had. The week after the grant was approved, Dawn Farm was approached with the opportunity to rent a former crack house and set up the transitional program. It was so successful in its first year of operation, Dawn Farm has recently purchased an 18-unit apartment complex to provide more transitional housing. Barry Community Foundation A matching grant to the Delton Area Senior Housing Committee to purchase equipment and furniture for the common areas of the Country View Senior Housing Project. The HUD grant did not allow for the "extras" that are necessary for a housing development ofthis nature. With the assistance ofthis matching grant, the Housing Committee was able to purchase all of the equipment necessary for the residents to enjoy a desirable quality of life. Bay Area Community Foundation Childcare needs are very high in Bay County. It has been proven that, sometimes, many lower income parents can not hold down steady jobs _due to childcare needs and demands. Many parents in . our area have a difficult time finding affordable quality daycare on a minimum wage job. Campfire Boys & Girls of Midland, Bay and Saginaw Counties are now providing quality affordable childcare in Bay City thanks to a grant from our Foundation. The average daily charge is $10 per student, but scholarships are awarded to families who cannot afford the tuition. There is now one less obstacle preventing some community members from keeping or getting a job. I .. Berrien Community Foundation During the past two years, an unusually high number of children lost their lives due to home fires in Berrien County. The Berrien Community Foundation had a big impact in bringing Little Squirt out of the repair shop and back on the road. This grant also expanded the number of schools Little Squirt could visit to teach children to "stop, drop, and roll." One of the most unusual teaching tools, Little Squirt is having a positive impact on the fire safety education of children and their parents. Branch County Community Foundation The Foundation helped fund the Dearth Community Center. There was no single location that nonprofits could rent that would accommodate 800 people. Community organizations and individuals can now rent the center for volunteer appreciation activities and other community events. 8 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.)

Jackson Community Foundation After two years of collaboration and coordination with local nonprofit organizations and funders, the Jackson Nonprofit Support Center became a reality.

Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation Even in so bountiful an area as ours, safe, affordable housing remains elusive for many families. Two substantial grants this year went to the Char-Em Housing Coalition and Habitat for Humanityorganizations that are doing their best to make certain no one is left out as housing prices and land costs continue to rise. Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Our largest and most visible grants were awarded to two local community projects: Rotary Gateway Park and Veterans Memorial Pointes. These are both highly visible and received much publicity. Community Foundation of St. Clair County The purchase of a telemedicine communication system for the Visiting Nurses Association allows nurses to monitor patients from a central nursing station, while the patient remains in the comfort of their home. It allows both the examiner and patient to talk to and actually see one another through the use of telephone lines. The examiner can also monitor the patient's blood pressure and pulse and listen to heart and lung sounds. Sault Area Community Foundation A grant was used to purchase water testing equipment by the Munuscong River Watershed Association, for use by area high school environmental classes. This information is placed in data.base form and then entered into a web si!e at Lake Superior State University. This type of handson work project promotes goodwill, volunteerism and concern for the local environment and its impact on the surrounding community. Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan A grant was made to Wayne State University for the Weather Stations Network Program. The goal of this project is to establish a network of weather stations in high schools throughout Southeastern Michigan. These stations are used by teachers trained at the 1998 Summer Sciences Institute to collect weather data used in classes at their schools, and also by a central server and posted on the Internet. The intended benefits are to improve high school education in science, encourage teacher collaboration across district lines and enhance lessons ofteamwork collaboration and electronic communication for the students.

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation The Foundation's Distribution Committee targeted housing and homelessness as a grant focus for 1998. In an effort to leverage the Foundation's funds, a group of 20-25 service providers were convened to target specific needs and dvelop a project proposal to submit to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Local Initiatives Funding Partners Program. The proposal was not funded, but the primary local funding partners, the Foundation and county government have continued to support the concept and have developed a collaborative grant program that will be implemented in 1999. Berrien Community Foundation Business and community leaders, educators and the general public have accepted the Berrien Community Foundation's invitation to recognize outstanding teachers in Berrien County. All to often teachers never receive the public recognition for their contribution to the teaching profession, yet their impact is immeasurable and significant to our quality of life.

It is helpful to review these annually as part of a self-audit process. The role of the YAC is to recommend grants from a permanent Youth Fund after assessing local youth needs, be involved in fund development, and support systems for involving youth in philanthropy. 1. The YAC is adopted by the Board as one of the permanent standing committees of the community foundation. 2. The YAC meets a minimum of six times a year. 3. YAC membership of at least 7 youth is representative of the youth community. 4. A trained adult advisor works with the YAC. 5. There is an annual orientation process for new YAC members. 6. As the basis for grantmaking, the YAC collects information, at least every three years, about the assets and needs related to youth in its community. 7. YAC members are provided opportunities to be involved in fund development. Helping to ensure the continued growth of the youth .fund, emphasis should be placed on donor calls and community presentations, based on local youth issues and concerns, rather than "fund raising" activities. ' ' - 8. The YAC completes an annual proactive grantma,Ung process, that involves and builds the capacity of youth as resources and decision makers in their communities, and results in the recommendation of grants to the community foundation Board. 9. YAC members should participate in available leadership training opportunities. 10. A process to evaluate its activities, including the effectiveness of grants. 11. YAC members have an opportunity to meet annually with members of the Board of Trustees of the community foundation. When appropriate, YAC members may attend board meetings, participate in an annual meeting, or join in special events that provide opportunities for sharing with the Board. 12. Grantmaking by the YAC is featured in annual reports, newsletters, public presentations, and other communications tools. This communicates to the wider public the importance of the YAC and youth involvement as community problem-solvers. 13. The community foundation may support a project funded by the YAC with income from a different endowment fund. The community foundation board may jointly fund a project with the YAC. 14. The YAC may review youth-related proposals that are submitted to the community foundation atlarge. As experienced grantmakers, YAC members can provide valuable insights into the value of projects serving youth. 18 �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Advisory Committee (YACs) Making Grants (70 YACs now making grants, 16 will be making grants by June 2000) 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 1989 1990 Number 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1989 September 1999 2 70 1997 1998 1999 �Michigan Comm1:1nity Foundations' Youth Advisory Committees Total Number of Grants Made 4000 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 Cummulative 500 0 0 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 to date Number of Grants 1988 Cummulative 3 Cumulative - 3,556 September 1999 355 i ' �1 Michigan Comm~nity Foundations' Youth Advisory Committees Total Amount of Grants Paid $7,000,000 $6,000,000 $5,000,000 $4,000,000 $3,000,000 $2,000,000 $1,000,000 $0 1989 Amount 1990 1991 1992 1989 $19,203 1993 1994 1995 1996 September 1999 $617,443 1997 1998 1999to date Cumulative $ 6,332,511 I �Cumulative YAC Grants Summary 1989- September 1999 TOTAL AMOUNT PAID COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Albion Community Foundation Alger Regional Community Foundation Allegan County Community Foundation Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Baraga County Community Foundation Barry Community Foundation Bay Area Community Foundation Bedford Fund Berrien Community Foundation, Inc.

This grant not only helped to make the dream of a teen center a reality, but also generated broad community support. Barry Community Foundation A grant to the Hastings Junior Chamber of Commerce established the Yellow Ribbon Project that creates awareness of teen suicide and its prevention. This project includes letters to parents of high school students, distribution of cards to all teens and provides information during study hall periods on how to use your card if you are in a crisis situation. On the first day of distribution, a young man turned his card in to a counselor, seeking help. Battle Creek Community Foundation The Habitat for Humanity- Student I.M.P.A.C.T. grant had the most impact. The community was able to see youth address a social issue in a realistic way. The Y AC raised the money, put up walls, etc. They were in charge of the project. Bay Area Community Foundation The Youth Initiative of BACF awarded the Bay City Players a grant for their Y outheatre program. The Bay City Players theatre provides a needed cultural outlet in the Bay community, and provides theatrical opportunities for adults as well as chi1dren. The theatre is also an historical icon in the community since it is the oldest community based theatre in Michigan. Berrien Community Foundation Benton Harbor middle school students now have the opportunity to experience the excitement of sailing on Lake Michigan. Thanks to a grant from the Berrien Community Foundation Y AC, students are learning the skills of sailing while also learning the dynamics and benefits of teamwork. The students are also learning about the environment and how important fresh water is to our survival. Branch County Community Foundation The Y AC issued an RFP to organizations addressing ongoing substance abuse prevention for teens. SADD groups from the 4 local school districts received funds. Youth for Christ/Campus Life cosponsored withY AC a program to bring in a nationally known speaker to address the issues of selfesteem and substance abuse. The school districts, as well as the community, benefitted from the programs. Charlevoix County Community Foundation In 1997, the YAC awarded Planned Parenthood Northern Michigan a grant to develop and pilot a male responsibility program aimed at adolescent boys. The goal of the program was to reduce teen pregnancy by impacting adolescent males' self-esteem, communication skills, knowledge of sexuality and contraception arid decision-making skills. An adult male leader and male peer educators facilitate the program. Initial feedback from participants showed such positive results that, in 1998, the program was expanded to seven counties in Northern Michigan. 25 �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Dickinson County Community Foundation A workshop was provided to give young people an opportunity to explore stagecraft principles and see them in actual stage production at the Community Performing Arts Center. The workshop involved many professionals from the community working with the youth for the play Scrooge: Stingiest Man in Town. Grand Rapids Community Foundation The Youth Committee has supported summer programming at the Grand Rapids Metropolitan YMCA for four years. Through the YAC's most recent grant, the YMCA's summer middle school program will offer middle school-aged youth the opportunity to get together with peers at the downtown or West YMCAs five nights a week, instead ofthree nights a week as in previous years. This gives youth a place to go away from environments of substance abuse and violent behavior. Gratiot County Community Foundation A YAC grant supported a cultural trip by 3'd graders from one of the depressed elementary schools in our county for a cultural trip. The students only asked for funds for bus transportation, and earned admission to the event themselves. The fact that the request was only for part of the event, with the students earning the remainder, had a great impact on theY AC members. Hillsdale County Community Foundation A grant was made to the student council of Pittsford High School for an "American Humanities Live" project. This became a community activity involving all the children in the school (K-12). Different areas of arts were presented on the main street of the town by and for young and old. The main street became a festival of celebration of the arts. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area TheY AC supported development of Wetlands Pavilion, a collaborative project with public and parochial schools, a corporate donor, and building professionals to invest in the future of youth, youth learning and the environment. Jackson Community Foundation AWARE, Inc. of Jackson provides victims of domestic abuse and their children with temporary shelter and support services during time of family crisis and instability. With a grant from theY AC, children between the ages of 6 and 12 can participate in group counseling sessions, attend special activities and summer day camp. The goal of the program is to help youngsters express feelings, learn conflict resolution and end the cycle of violence. Marshall Community Foundation Legacy of Learning: In this project high school students instruct senior citizens on computer use on a 1 to 1 basis. Senior "students" write a briefhistory of their lives, which is accessible via a web page, and learn to e-mail. 26 �- " '" ·------ - --------------------,,------------------------, Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Michigan Gateway Community Foundation This grant facilitated a peer tutoring program presented by senior Spanish students for new Spanish~ speaking children in Buchanan schools. In the course of helping the students with their school work, the high school students were called upon to help parents translate their school and social needs and concerns as well. The good of the grant expanded from helping individual children do better in school to helping families blend more effectively into the community, which became more open and welcoming to cultural diversity. Midland Foundation The grant theYAC believes has had the greatest impact is the Circle of Health Partnership's "Teens Teaching Teens" grant. This is a peer education program, which teaches students about drugs and alcohol so they can teach their peers. The program has been quite successful. Thirty students completed the training and have had the opportunity to make a significant impact as they have trained over 200 more students. Community Foundation for Muskegon County One of the most significant YAC grants was to the Michigan Pine and Dunes Girl Scout Council. On the Girl Scouts property, there was an inaccessible low-lying wetland habitat area. With help I . from theYAC grant, the Girl Scouts made this-area accessible to physically disabled youth by building a new trail system. Their science program serves over 2,000 youth a year and is one of the few that focus on pond and wetland habitat in the county. ~ Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan A grant given to Get Excited And Rally (G.E.A.R.) is supporting construction of a skateboard park. This park provides many local students with a place to go after school, which is away from the congested downtown area. This grant, along with funds from other local organizations, is making the permanent park a reality. Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation Early, unintended pregnancy is always a concern. Instead of going the easy route and expanding our conventional sex ed programs, our YAC is encouraging some new approaches in our communities. For example, we helped fund an innovative project aimed at helping teenage boys change their attitudes about gender roles, dating, and risky behavior; continued support of MERIT, a far-reaching program that helps young girls develop life goals, make healthy decision, and steer clear of peer pressure; and made a grant to "Who's in Charge?", a program that promotes teen responsibility and abstinence. Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Our Y AC participated in a Chamber of Commerce program to fund teacher incentive projects. The YAC chose 3 proposals from area schools and funded the teachers for innovative classroom projects. 27 �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Community Foundation of St. Clair County Kids Voting in Michigan The goals were to increase student participation and civic responsibility, to supply schools with resources and materials, and to introduce students to the importance of voting. Kids Voting-St. Clair County encompassed more than 55 voter precincts, 65 schools, 300 volunteers and 6,300 students throughout St. Clair County. Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan At Western International High School, a youth grant has helped create a system to assist students in tracking their school's sports statistics while improving participants' math skills. The program, called The All Sports Club, teaches youth how to track and interpret statistics. In addition, participants attend three college sporting events to see how statistics are tracked at the college level. The students then share their experiences with middle school students, learning relationship skills in the process. Sturgis Foundation TheYAC provided a grant to Youth for Christ to initiate after school programming for middle school children. Tecumseh Col!lmunity Fund Foundation A gtant for "BLOOM Where You Are Planted' ' involves youths with and without handicaps in a horticulture project coordinated by the MSU Extension and Hidden Lake Gardens. 28 �Note: Information listed in this publication was compiled from data submitted by community foundations to the Council ofMichigan Foundations regarding grants funded by youth advisory committees under the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP). 29 �THE COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS IS AN ASSOCIATION OF FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATIONS MAKING GRANTS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES.

Albion Civic Fnd. Ann Arbor Area Comm. Fnd. Berrien Com. Fnd. In 1995 our Foundation supported classes in the arts at the elementary and junior high level. These classes were attended by a cross-section of Albion children and were taught by professionals in various fields . In addition to learning techniques, children who might have been left alone after school were given a safe place to be. It is unclear what the long-range impact will be, but children, art teachers, and school teachers have been grateful. · Child & Family Service (C&FS)- $25,000 award to fund a Manager of Service Development position for the Washtenaw County Collaborative Transportation Implementation Task Force, a public/private, communitywide coordinated transportation project. This project began in early 1994 when representatives from human service agencies around the county met to discuss concerns over clients not able to get to clinical services, jobs, health care or other appointments because of transportation problems. As it now stands, this task force has become the County Transportation Systems Management, a consortium of community partners working collaboratively to improve access to opportunities and services for Washtenaw County. The Golden Acorn Excellence in Teaching Award is a program to recognize and reward outstanding teachers who reach beyond traditional methods to affect change and improve the educational status quo . A total of $16,500 in teacher and classroom mini-grants were awarded in 1995 . 81 �Grants That Make a Difference (continued) Branch Co. Com. Fnd. In 1995, the Foundation awarded $1,500 to the Friends of the St. Joe River Association. This grassroots organization was formed to address trash buildup, contamination, and fish depletion in the St. Joseph River and its tributaries. An initial $1,000 grant was approved for the association for start-up expenses. The group was later given a proactive grant of $500 based on their efficient use of the previous award. "Friends ofthe St. Joe River" has been quite successful in organizing large numbers of volunteers and has made significant strides in improving the quality of life in Branch County. The long-term environmental effects that this growing, active organization will have on the area are immeasurable. Buchanan Area Fnd. The Foundation is committed to the full automation of the Buchanan Public Library. This includes weeding out old books, installing the proper equipment for identifying and coding books, and the computer hardware and software to facilitate lending procedures and research enhancement for all library patrons. We anticipate the entire project may cover a period of five years and will make our library ready to join the Information Age in the 21st century. Our first purchase ($4400) was for software to initiate the project. Cadillac Area Com. Fnd . A grant to the Wexford Soil Conservation to assist with environmental clean up of Clam River. Capital Region Com. Fnd. Perhaps the most visible project funded by the Foundation was a grant made through two of the Foundation's funds, the Lansing Fund and the Oldsmobile Classic Youth Charities Fund. The grant provided for a children's playground within Oldsmobile Parks, the city's newly christened minor league baseball stadium. The stadium has been part of a downtown renaissance which attracts sports and special-event enthusiasts from around the mid-Michigan area. Because ofthe stadium, the park and the ptayground, the city is alive once again with activities bringing families together in the heart of the State's Capital City. 82 �(continued) Capital Region (can ' t.) In concert with the opening of Oldsmobile Park, the Lansing Fund conducted a buy-a-brick program with charitable proceeds going for the "betterment of the Lansing community and the mid-Michigan area." Nearly 4,500 bricks were sold and placed at the Park. Charlevoix County Com. Fnd. Between 1993 and 1996 the Foundation and the Y AC awarded a total of 14 grants to Raven Hill Discovery Center for the development of a hands-on science museum. The museum was the dream oftwo dedicated, local science teachers. In 1991, they built a small facility using their own capital to house the first exhibits. Within four years, two additions to the original building and two new buildings have been constructed, and attendance has surpassed 27,000 students. The hands-on museum is unique in this area because it is the only center of its type with a triple emphasis on science, history and art- all related aspects of each exhibit. Com. Fnd. of Greater Flint A grant to the Genesee Area Focus Council for the purpose of supporting the development of the Flint Automotive Industry Project. This effort has as its focus an examination of the future of the automotive industry in the Flint area, which will result in implementing programs and strategies to retain automobile manufacturing in the area and to help prepare the community tb diversify its economic base. The Focus Council is composed of a group of private sector leaders (both in the corporate and nonprofit fields) and brings together all the key players in the economic development arena. The Fremont Area Foundation In 1995, the foundation awarded a grant to Newaygo County Community Services (NCCS) for operating costs. NCCS is a nonprofit human service agency that provides emergency services and many other services for needy Newaygo County residents . NCCS also provides a variety of cultural programs such as student art and music contests, children's chorus, art exhibits, and other arts programs. NCCS is a volunteer-based organization committed to meeting basic human needs and enriching the quality of life for all area residents . Grants That Make a Difference 83 �Grants That Make a Difference (continued) Grand Haven Area Community Fdn. A $3,000 grant to support Camp Bluebird, a pilot program in the Tri-cities area. Four local nonprofit agencies collaborated in bringing this unique camp to West Michigan. In May, 20 adults with cancer spent three days together at the Camp. This was a time for sharing as well as participating in group sessions, activities and talking to medical professionals and pastors, all in an effort to help them deal with their terminal illness. It was the first camp in West Michigan and was deemed a success. The Grand Rapids Fnd. A $1 million grant toward the new Van Andel Arena has spurred economic development in the Heartside area and throughout downtown. The Arena will provide employment for neighborhood residents. The development has also had the effect of coalescing residents, advocates, and social service providers in the neighborhood in an effort to avoid displa~ement of the low-income neighborhood residents . Now, plans for an urban green space in the Heartside area are moving forward. Gratiot Community Fnd . Our very first grant was to an elementary teacher who used the small amount of money to implement a store in her 4th grade classroom. The students learned the roles of consumer, businessperson and banker. They learned to choose how to spend their money, whether to save for a large item or buy instantly, and how to borrow and loan money. These young people are receiving hands-on experience to become productive community members. Greenville Area Fnd. The Optimist's Camp for disabled children is the only camp of its kind in Michigan and has continued for the past 3 0 years with support from alternative education funds which have been drastically cut. They fear they will have to close the camp permanently. Currently, we are trying to leverage permanent support to continue the camp in future years. Hillsdale Com. Fnd. A $2,000 grant was given to the Hillsdale Arts Choral. This money provided an additional performance of the full dress rehearsal of"Amahl and the Night Visitors for 350 5th and 6th grade students from throughout Hillsdale County. The schools provided chaperones and busing. 84 �Grants That Make a Difference (continued) Comm. Fnd. ofthe Holland/Zeeland Area A 1996 grant was given to The Community Health Center, a health care facility for health care recipients without insurance or Medicaid. We believe that this meets an acute health care need in our rapidly growing community. People pay as they are able; however, no one is turned away for medical care ifthey do not have the means to pay. The Jackson Com. Fnd. The Jackson Community Foundation made grants of $125,000 to help organize and start up the Michigan Coalition for Essential Schools (formerly Mid-Michigan Education Coalition). This organization was established to support and facilitate grass roots school change. Since its establishment one year ago, its influence, assistance and membership has extended to all parts of the lower and upper peninsula and surrounding states. Kalamazoo Fnd . A grant to funa a Guidance Clinic program that helps identify parents at risk of abusing and neglecting their children and offers educational support. Marquette Com. Fnd . The YAC recommended a $2,000 grant to Northern Lights Youth for Christ to sponsor an alcohol and drug free youth New Year's Eve party. This recommendation was based on the successful experience of the Y AC planning and hosting a similar event. The grantee was very cooperative in working with the community foundation in using more youth to plan the event and using the results of the previous event's evaluation by incorporating lessons learned. (See Pro-active Youth Grants) Marshall Com. Fnd. The Marshall Community Foundation supported with $50,000 Oaklawn Hospital's project to update to state of the art, helical CT scanning and nuclear medicine equipment. The availability ofthe new instrumentation offers the residents of Marshall and surrounding service areas the most accurate and timely diagnostic tools possible. 85 �Grants That Make a Difference (continued) Midland Foundation For the past several years, the Midland Foundation has been involved in the construction of the Pere Marquette RailTrail of Mid-Michigan, a 22-rnile linear park in Midland County. The trail, which stretches from Midland to Coleman, is in constant use and has had a positive recreational, economic, aesthetic and environmental impact on Midland County. Com. Fnd. of Monroe County Scholarship programs, Triple Crown Weekend, and the Holiday Parade. Mt. Pleasant Area Com. Fnd. $2,000 granted to the Korean War Memorial. The Community Foundation's name was used, successfully, as a reference and a backer to solicit funds for this project. The memorial was bought and placed in the center of the city. This grant gave the community foundation stature and prestige and g~ve Isabella County a Korean War memorial and the knowledge-that they have a community foundation that is willing to fund and support new ideas. Com. Fnd. for Muskegon Co. Volunteer, Muskegon!, a new volunteer center, opened for business in Muskegon as a result of an initiative of the Community Foundation, partnering with the Michigan CARES project and Michigan United Way. Since its opening in February, Volunteer, Muskegon! has matched thousands of volunteer to community projects, presented an Indiana School ofFundraising training to area nonprofits and provided a permanent home to the Youth Volunteer Corps, and other projects initiated by grant funding of the Community Foundation. 86 �Grants That Make a Difference (continued) Com. Fnd. for NE MI The Huron Shores Writing Institute was granted $4,500 for 94 students to participate in a writing workshop. It gave the participants the opportunity to have a "thinking and writing" experience - with peer groups, one-on-one sessions and special presentations on history, poetry, storytelling, etc. Students from Mulhausen, Germany were international guests for this event. A cross-culture exchange took place as well as a literary experience. Petoskey/Harbor Spring Area Comm. Fnd. A grant to the Alanson Area Neighborhood Watch Program was seed money to support a crime prevention program, community pride program, and assist with publication of a newsletter. Gr. Rochester Com. Fnd. In our opinion, the category of grants that had the most impact on our community would be "education & scholarships." There were 15 grants for scholarships and 3 grants to support B.ochester Community Schools; total for this category for 1995 -over $20,000. Saginaw Com. Fnd. The Saginaw Community Foundation helped fund an all-clay Racial Harmony Forum in November 1994 which was attended by over 300 peopl~. The forum, a collaborative effort of the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce, United Way of Saginaw County, the Human Relations Commission of the City of Saginaw, and Saginaw Valley State University, was organized to begin looking at race as an issue that is divisive to our community. Com. Fnd. of St. Clair County The mission of DARES is to help prevent or reduce the incidence of domestic violence, sexual assault and homelessness through direct support services to victims and their families. In 1993-1994, the shelter served 327 women and 282 children for a total of4,322 nights. DARES was able to build a new, modern facility to meet the ever-increasing demands for shelter services. After construction was well along, it was discovered that the budget did not include funds to meet ADA re_quirements, namely ar elevator. Without it, the building could not open. $13,200 was granted for that purpose. Today DARES is fulfilling their mission and providing this needed service to the community. 87 �Grants That Make a Difference (continued) Shiawasee Foundation A $400 grant to the Arts Council provided a hands-on painting experience for 500 students featuring artist G. Van Frankenhyzeu. Sturgis Com. Fnd. The Sturgis Foundation made a major donation to the community's new recreation center. This $2.5 million facility was funded entirely by private donations. The Foundation served as the pass-through agent as well as the project manager ~ 88 �Leadership Role in Community Foundations Community Foundations often impact their communities in ways that may or may· not involve specific grants. Please briefly describe the leadership role played by your community foundation in the past year of which you are most proud. Albion Civic Fnd. 1995 was a growing year for our foundation. We determined the need to "get our house in order" in preparation for taking a stronger leadership role in the community. Some ofthe steps that we have taken of which we are proud: hired a full-time Executive Director, joined the Nonprofit Alliance; attended the Carver Governance Training; established investment guidelines and spending policy to understand how to have more money available for grants; establish an interboard committee to help connect with other community and county boards; participated in discussion with Kellogg Foundation, Michigan CARES and the other community foundations in Calhoun County which has led to the establishment of Calhoun CARES. In September, a group of area nonprofits met to see how to work together to strengthen our nonprofit boards. We are still working through the details of many of these items, but we feel 1995 and 1996 have brought us closer to what we would like to be as a community foundation . Alger Regional Com. Fnd . The Foundation held a day-long retreat to develop long range plans for ARCF and Alger Couf)ty. During the retreat the Board completed exercises in visioning and community assessment, developed a mission statement, hired an executive director, and established long range and intermediate goals for the foundation. Since submitting the Youth Grant Challenge application to CMF, the Board has met weekly to develop policies, public relations campaigns, solicit funds and organize the youth advisory council. As we meet our first Challenge match, we will now be able to increase our visibility through grantmaking and community development and thereby play a larger role in community leadership. Ann Arbor Area Com. Fnd . The role of which we are most proud is the "spotting or anticipating problems and acting to prevent them", in particular as it relates to the issue of dating violence . The AAACF and its Youth Council collaborated with the Junior League of Ann Arbor and the Domestic Violence 89 �Leadership Role in Community Foundations (continued) Ann Arbor Area Com. Fnd (con't.) Project/S.A.F.E. House in developing a three-year teen dating violence prevention program for the county's high schools and, also, assisted in organizing and sponsoring a two-day conference that attracted state-wide attendance on the issue in October 1995. Branch Co. Com. Fnd. During the past year, the Foundation has taken an active leadership role in the planning for our community's future. In 1995, the addition ofthe Colon Foundation Fund as a geographic component fund extended this involvement to the Colon Community School District. As a young foundation, we are striving to raise the public's awareness of philanthropy and responsiveness to changing community needs. We cooperate with other community agencies and services as a resource for those groups. The Foundation continues to increase its permanent endowment fund in order to provic!_e for the current and future needs of area residents. - Buchanan Area Fnd. One of our smallest grants has had the most impact on our community. Through the collaborative efforts of a city activities committee and Buchanan school health nurse, we provided incentives for using the mobile health clinic of the area health department for an afternoon a month outside our area schools at the start of school in 1995. The response was so overwhelming (over 600 immunizations the first two months) that the mobile clinic now visits one afternoon every month. For the first time, Buchanan has access to health service without the need to drive to a distant government office. Capital Region Com. Fnd. The Foundation has been working with ry.ine other community funders to establish the position of a Community Grants Facilitator. This innovative program has been funded with the dual objective of bringing more dollars into the community for collaborative problem solving and of helping area nonprofits determine potential sources of funding. 90 �Leadership Role in Community Foundations (continued) Com. Fnd . of Greater Flint The Foundation was one of 12 community foundations nation-wide to receive a $75,000 planning grant (matched by $25,000 in local funds) from the National Collaborative for Violence Prevention, a group of private foundations and the U.S. Departments of Justice and Housing and Urban Development, in May 1995, and has been engaged in a neighborhood based planning effort designed to organize low income neighborhoods to reduce violence in their areas. It is anticipated that implementation grants of up to $150,000 annually for two years (based on raising $300,000 locally) will be received as a result of this planning process, which has involved the Foundation, agencies and organization that deal with the causes and consequences of violence, and hundreds of neighborhood residents. The Fremont Area Foundation The foundation has accepted the responsibility for convening community leaders to develop a county-wide leadership program. The Leadership Institute for Newyago County (LINC) will bring together people with diverse backgrounds to develop their individual leadership potential and maximize the community resources to benefit the quality of life in Newaygo County. Grand Haven Area Com. Fnd. We continue our involvement with the Northwest Ottawa Area Community Coalition which is a collaborative of concerned citizens from public agencies, private nonprofit groups, schools, churches and businesses working together to provide support and encouragement to area youth families. NOACC-funded programs in the community include DARE, community policing and parent training seminars. Neighborhood Centers have been established in area elementary schools bringing a variety of services to each neighborhood, each differing, depending on the needs of the families living in those neighborhoods. 91 �Leadership Role in Community Foundations (continued) Gratiot Co. Com. Fnd. With the support of our Board of Trustees and the active involvement of individual members, the Gratiot County Strategic Plan has successfully completed the 1996 planning stage for many segments of Gratiot County. Our board is collectively or individually involved in many community programs and projects which are included as part ofthe Strategic Plan and will work to reach goals and visions of the Plan. Greenville Area Fnd. We have participated in the Coalition for Greater Greenville (COGG) steering and planning committees, The Healthy Teen Task Force, and are continuing our help and support of the development and building of a new district Library. Hillsdale Co. Com. Fnd . We are spearheading a drive to raise funds for the purchase or construction of office facilities which would house many ofthe Hillsdale County nonprofit organizations in one location. The organizations would be required to carry only · the ongoing expenses ofthe building. We view this as an opportunity to cut the administrative expenses of the agencies, freeing more of their funds for projects. Com. Fnd. of Holland/Zeeland Area The community foundation has been a catalyst for needed change in this community by bringing the Holland/Zeeland communities together into one foundation. Previous leaders gave us little hope for this to happen. However, in working with both foundations, a trust developed. The Kellogg Challenge Program gave us the carrot on the stick we needed . The Jackson Com. Fnd. In its community foundation role, JCF acted as a catalyst for needed change, leveraged funds to meet this need, stimulated partnerships and gave technical assistance for the · creation ofthe Michigan Coalition for Essential School. (See Grants That Make a Difference ) \ 92 �Leadership Role in Community Foundations (continued) Kalamazoo Fnd. Community Partnership Endowment Program (CEP), a partnership among Kalamazoo Foundation, First of America Bank Corporation and the nonprofit community is a collaborative program to train nonprofit board members and staff in planned giving CEP has brought the community together in a non-competitive manner. M&MArea Com. Fnd. Although M & M Area Community Foundation is so new that it has not played much of a leadership role in its communities, its Board ofDirectors is made up of individuals who have played active roles in civic affairs for some time. Looking to the future, the M&MACF would expect to be heavily involved, not only in leveraging funds to meet community needs, but to take active part in community planning and solving problems which cross county and state lines. Marquette Com. Fnd. As a spinoff from a 1994 conference, "Joining Forces : Strengthening the Circle of Caring Communities for Children," a team of 7 diverse individuals from the community created a goal and defined a strategy for helping to make the community more family friendly . The result was the "Family Friendly Community Guide';, a monthly guide containing a comprehensive calendar of events and articles highlighting community assets that benefit families . Our executive director played a leadership role throughout the process and the guide will soon celebrate its one year anniversary. ·J Marshall Com. Fnd . During the past year, the Marshall Community Foundation has served as a community convener, bringing together two food banks which function in the same area. We have attempted to encourage coordination of service and food warehousing . This process is still in place. 93 �Leadership Role in Community Foundations (continued) Midland Foundation The role which has been undertaken most often in the past year is one of providing technical assistance to nonprofits: mentoring fund development; establishing agency, incubator, or project funds; researching potential grantmakers for nonprofits to approach; co-sponsoring a local F ASB workshop; assisting nonprofits to understand how tax regulations impact their fundraising efforts. Com. Fnd. of Monroe County Plans to erect a monument to those who served in World War II. Though Monroe County has monuments to commemorate other wars, none has ever been dedicated to the World Wars . Also, the County ofMonroe Against Gangs (COMAG), a collaborative program dedicated to preventing youth violence and gang activity through community awareness, intervention and education. Mt. Pleasant Area Community F dn. The Community Foundation was the catalyst for creating a committee to establish a community center for Isabella County. This committee is now called the CRC and is on its way to breaking ground for the first stage of the community center. The community foundation continues to work side by side with this project. Community Foundation for Muskegon Co. In 1995 the Muskegon Foundation led a successful $16 million bond issue to renovate the Frauenthal Theater and L.C. Walker arena. This project began in 1976 when the Foundation purchased the historic Frauenthal Theater, saving it from certain ruin and preserving the heart of Muskegon's vital downtown. Every year since we've contributed more than $65,000 to its upkeep . However, in 1995 we determined that the building required $7.5 million in major structural and mechanical renovations. The Foundation then proposed that the community support both the theater and a downtown arena with a bond proposal and led the campaign to accomplish this feat. In November 1995, the community rallied around the project and voted "yes" to preserve downtown Muskegon's performing arts and entertainment facilities . 94 �Leadership Role in Community Foundations (continued) Com. Fnd. for Northeast Michigan . The Foundation has sponsored a Community Leaders Luncheon monthly during the academic year for the past several years. It is an opportunity for community leaders to convene and discuss community issues. It stimulates public and private partnerships and has. been utilized for community planning for the future . It also has helped to develop community leaders by offering a venue through which an individual can meet and get to know their peers, as well as share their experiences and learn about the work being done by other organizations in our community. Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Com. Fnd. We play a convening role by sponsoring quarterly meetings of Emmet County nonprofit directors (the Brown Bag Bunch) to network and share information and resources. From this has grown the ability to act as one unit when needed, to share resources and ideas, to collaborate and to support one anot.ber. Our YAC acts as a catalyst for change in our community through their role as grantmakers. They have caused more community groups to look at youth as assets and to trust and respect their knowledge . By investing in the development oftoday's youth, we're helping tomorrow's adults learn about good leadership and the importance of caring for their community and its people. Greater Rochester Area Com. Fnd. We are proud ofthe leadership role our community foundation has played in the community by becoming more visible by convening community discussions that involve community planning for the future and striving to serve as a neutral party by bringing different groups together to address challenges. We have also tried to become known as a neutral party for community leaders. 95 �Leadership Role in Community Foundations (continued) Com. Fnd. of St. Clair County The community foundation, in cooperation with the United Way, began a series of meeting with the Leonard Center, a drop-in center located in the southern portion ofthe City of Port Huron. The Center serves a minority population. Over the years it has struggled financially, resulting in the lack offull-time leadership. Through discussions, the community foundation has involved the Port Huron Area School District, the City ofPort Huron and the United Way in providing support to keep the center open. This involvement by the community foundation provided technical and financial assistance to the nonprofit. Shiawassee Foundation The Foundation played an integral role in the collaboration of groups to build a community inline/ice skating rink. Immediate funding as well as long-range maintenance funding is established, as well. 96 �WKKF I MCFYP CHALLENGE GRANTS Totals by Community Foundation as of October 1996 COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Albion Civic Foundation Alger County Allegan Foundation Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation *Athens Community Foundation Baraga County Community Foundation Barry County Community Foundation The Battle Creek Community Foundation Bay Area Community Foundation *Bedford Community Foundation Berrien Community Foundation, Inc. *Big Rapids Area Community Foundation Branch County Community Foundation Buchanan Area Foundation Cadillac -Area Community Foundation -Capital Region Community Foundation Charlevoix County Community Foundation *Clio Fund *Coopersville Area Foundation Community Foundation for Delta County Dickinson County Area Community Foundation Community Heritage Foundation of Eaton Rapids *Fenton Fund Communzty Foundation of Greater Flint Four County Foundation ·The Fremont Area Foundation *Grand Blanc Fund Grand Haven Area Community Foundation The Grand Rapids Foundation Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation Gratiot County Community Foundation Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation Greenville Area Foundation Hillsdale County Community Foundation Community Foundation of Holland/Zeeland Area 97 Total Grants Total Grants Paid Approved $112,500 $92,500 $45,000 $45_,000 $1,000,000 $975,000 $1,000,000 $750,000 $30,000 $0 $130,000 $30,000 $287,500 $112,500 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $95,000 $65,000 $500,000 $200,000 $85,000 $85,000 $630,000 $480,000 $260,000 $235,000 $393,700 $343,700 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $130,000 $12,000 $100,000 $75,000 $297,000 $172,000 $250,000 $150,000 $50,000 $25,000 $227,500 $127,500 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 . $112,500 $37,500 $629,500 $629,500 $112,500 $70,500 $1,000,000 . $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1 ,000,000 $50,000 $100,000 $115 ,000 $165,000 $135,939 $172,939 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 �WKKF I MCFYP CHALLENGE GRANTS Totals by Community Foundation as of October 1996 (continued) Total Grants Total Grants Approved Paid COMMUNITY FOUNDATION $212,500 $187,500 *Homer Area Community Foundation $30,000 $20,000 *Hudsonville Community Foundation $110,000 $10,000 *Ionia County Community Foundation $50,000 $25,000 *Ishpeming Community Fund The Jackson Community Foundation $1,000,000 $1,000,000 Kalamazoo Foundation $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $10,000 *Lapeer County Community Fund $0 $190,000 Leelanau Township Foundation, Inc. $150,000 *Ludington Area Foundation $225,000 $75,000 M&M Area Community Foundation $127,500 $37,500 $40,000 Mackinac Island Community Foundation $25,000 $125,000 Marquette Community Foundation $105,000 $1,000,000 Marshall Community Foundation $995,500 Midland Foundation $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $125,000 $50,000 Community Foundation ofMonroe County $550,000 Mt.

The YAC issued a RFP announcing $25,000 in available grant funds for programs focusing on the issue of youth violence/conflict issues as well as unrestricted youth programs in the arts, education, recreational fields, and health and human services. The $6,650 award to the Ann Arbor Art Center for the Teen Art Studio program is the grant that most clearly met the intent of the RFP .

Students are trained to listen and offer positive feedback to their peers who are dealing with conflicts. Buchanan Area Com. Fdn. The Y AC provided suggestions for and funded a Teen Info Card initiated by the Buchanan Community Schools Drug Free Schools Committee that lists a variety of "hot lines" and help agencies for teen issues -from AIDS to pregnancy to drug intervention services.

Cadillac Area Community Foundation Eric Chester Leadership and Self-Esteem Training Day for all high school students. Capital Region Community Fnd. TheY AC funded five programs in 1995 that specifically met the criteria targeted in their youth assessment survey. In each case, Youth PAC was judicious in selecting only those programs that were valued by peers and which were perceived of being of long term benefit to community problem solving. Programs funded were both preventative and treatment oriented, although a prevalent theme was programs that dealt with teens as parents or as potential parents. ll1 �------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25 Proactive Youth Grants (continued) Charlevoix County Community Fnd .

In addition, three multi-year awards provided early financial support for the establishment of a teen activity center; the construction of an official size, outdoor ice hockey arena; and the development of 127 miles of recreational trails in a three county area.

Although the promotion of cultural diversity was not found to be a primary need of Newaygo County's youth, the speaker did address other issues of concern to our young people. The focus on accepting and understanding other people for who they are and promoting every individual's self-worth helped youth to appreciate themselves, their inherent value, and to avoid self-destructive behavior. Grand Haven Area Community Fnd.

The Grand Rapids Foundation A $1 0, 61 0 grant to the Grand Rapids YWCA allowed implementation of the Choices program, of a life-skills program for adolescent girls age 12-14. The program develops self-esteem, self-awareness and life skills. It was offered to students attending Park School, the Grand Rapids Public School for pregnant teens and teen-age -mothers. Research has shown that the program will help prevent girls from getting pregnant for a second time, by helping them recognize that they have choices in their lives. Greenville Area Foundation Baby Think It Over, a program to fight teenage pregnancy. These computerized dolls were provided to the 8th grade middle school children. Both male and female students had the opportunity to care for a "newborn baby" for two or three days. Hillsdale County Com. Fnd.

This was delivered to all 8th grade students in Jackson County. Kalamazoo Foundation Kalamazoo Deacon's Conference--to initiate a program that focuses on community awareness, activities, and involvement for drug users, dealers, or any youth ages 12-18 who make a commitment to try to stay drug free. Weekly activities will be planned and community members with similar experiences will be available to offer support and advice to youth. It is also hoped that this program will be successful in connecting youth with resources offered by the Deacon's conference and other networking agencies addressing needs such as job tr.ainlng and employment counseling. 114 �- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------- 25 Proactive Youth Grants (continued) Marquette Community Foundation (See Grants That Make A Difference) Marshall Community Foundation A grant to enable Marshall students to participate in the Alaska Great Lakes Project. It provided Marshall students first hand exposure to Prince William Sound that was polluted by the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Community Foundation for Muskegon County In the past three years, the Muskegon Y AC has granted over $30,000 through a Summer Mini-Grant Recreation Program. The Minigrant program was created by the Y AC in response to both our needs assessment and speakers who concurred that one of the most vulnerable age groups for gang recruitment and choices leading to school dropout was I 0 to 16. The Summer Mini-grarrt program funds positive summer experiences and has allowed thousands of youth to participate in projects as diverse as Theater On Wheels to Volunteer Teen Graffiti Removal Teams. 115 �- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ------ 25 Proactive Youth Grants (continued) Com. Fnd for Northeast Michigan The P AAMY AC granted $2,200 to itself to their first "Outstanding Youth ofNortheast Michigan Report"- an eight-page tabloid in The Alpena News. The report showcased 78 youth from our four-county area with pictures of each youth and a brief report of their accomplishments. The criteria for the report was that the youth had to ( 1) be involved in individual or group activities which have made a positive contribution to his or her community, or (2) overcome an obstacle and go on to achieve success. Our Y AC wanted to give these youth recognition that so often goes unnoticed because they may not be sports heroes or in the top ten percent of their class. We wanted to help build self-esteem in these outstanding young people and show them how proud we are of them. It was a wonderful success and has become an annual project. Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation A grant totaling $3,000 to the Littlefield Public Schools to start an afternoon school childcare program in the school. Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation The grant that had the most impact on youth in 1995 was the $400 youth grant that our youth committee granted in prizes for students in two districts that responded to an essay contest.

Albion Civic Foundation A grant to the City of Albion to help bring a group of Russian performers to the Festival of the Forks. The number of people the event reached was enormous. The larger value was that the performers stayed with local families and interacted with the community during the weekend that they were here. Allegan County Foundation Pathways for Our Children - As a result of a child fatality, a group of residents raised funds to construct safe bike and walking paths. To date, over a mile has been constructed.

Bay Area Community Foundation A grant was awarded for the Bay Area Civic Arena, a joint project between the County of Bay, Bangor Township and a group of volunteers. Bonds were issued, Bangor donated land, and the civic group agreed to raise $1. 5 million to build an arena for hockey skating and civic programs. An endowment fund (10% of all gifts flowing through the Foundation for this project) are designated to support program fees for children who otherwise would not be able to participate. Cadillac Area Community Foundation A $10,000 grant to the city of Cadillac for its Canal Improvement Project. This project has environmental, economic and tourism benefits for it improves the flow of traffic between the two lakes. 29 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) Capital Region Community Foundation In 1996 the Foundation continued to support the opening Oldsmobile Park baseball stadium by approving a grant from the Lansing Fund to build an interactive fountain in front of the park. The fountain is part of the continuing effort to revitalize the downtown area by attracting families and visitors to the central hub. With its jumping jets and aerated water flow, the fountain is designed to encourage the active participation of young and old alike. Community Foundation of Delta County Both Foundation and YAC made grants to the Mid-Peninsula Schools and the YAC made a grant to the Bark River-Harris Schools which extended knowledge of the Foundation to rural, outlying areas of the county. This has lead to donations to the Foundation, Board membership and the beginning of scholarship funds for this area. Four County Foundation Oxford I Addison Transportation System Senior/Disabled Transportation System provides services to senior citizens and disabled residents in Oxford Township, Addison Township, Oxford Village and Leonard Village. In the words of an Oxford Senior Citizen: " I had lost my freedom to live independently and my pride in being able to manage my own life. Now that Oxford/Addison Transportation System's van is at my disposalS days a week, I have my life back again!" The Fremont Area Foundation The Foundation awarded $700,000 to Newaygo County Community Services for human and emergency service programs. Services provided include food distribution, homeowner assistance, homeless prevention, clothing and diaper distribution and numerous other such services for needy Newaygo County residents. Grand Haven Area Community Foundation A $12,500 grant matched a $12,500 United Way grant to receive $25,000 from the George Romney Fund. This provides an endowment to assure the long-term financial stability of the Volunteer Center of the Tri-Cities. The Grand Rapids Foundation A $150,000 to REACH (Reach Everyone Administer Care and Help) will·be used to build a facility to house and expand its programs. Located in the inner city, this vital organization serves 83 children through a child development center. Approximately 98 percent are children of color and many are from low-income families. REACH also offers parenting classes, educational support to "educationally at risk" four year olds, a senior food program, neighborhood preservation program, and sponsors the African-American Male Annual Conference. 30 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) Grand. Traverse Regional Community Foundation The 21st Century Leadership Grant had the most significance on our community. This grant was leveraged with funds from WK. Kellogg Foundation's Project CLIMB and other sources to develop a comprehensive leadership program using real life land use planning issues to teach basic skills and techniques. Gratiot County Community Foundation The one grant that had the most impact was to the American Red Cross of Gratiot County to provide 911 emergency house number signs for rural homes where people with mobility problems or life-threatening diseases live. Hillsdale County Community Foundation In October of 1996 the Foundation proposed a challenge, in partnership with the Y AC, a 1:1 match on all new donations for the Field of Dreams Fund up to $25,000. The challenge was completed in June. This project is a wonderful example of a small group of citizens who partnered with the Foundation, service clubs, governmental units, the Michigan National Guard and the people of the county. This leverage help complete a $350,000 recreational project. The Comm. Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area A community health center grant of$20,000 to help start a primary care facility for people without insurance or medicaid. The Jackson Community Foundation Although this is not the largest grant given, the Michigan Coalition of Essential Schools received funding for its ongoing operational support. MCES was established in 1994 through the help of the Foundation in order to support and facilitate school change. The service area has grown from a local initiative to a state-wide organization with national connections. Kalamazoo Foundation The Women's Education Coalition fund was established by four women's organizations in the greater Kalamazoo community. The endowment fund was established with a $1 million fund raising campaign to provide renewable grant assistance to nontraditional adult women students who are currently under-employed or unemployed and are in need of education to become financially self-sufficient. The Women's Education Coalition is striving to change lives through education and Kalamazoo Foundation is proud to be part of that effort. 31 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) Mackinac Island Community Foundation The "Baby Think It Over" Prevention Program is an educational program using lifelike computerized dolls designed to allow young adults to explore the physical, emotional, social, and financial consequences of teen parenthood. Marquette Community Foundation (See Proactive Youth Grants) Marshall Community Foundation The grant for $15,000 to assist in building the high school soccer field probably made the most impact because the soccer program grew dramatically. There are so many Marshall students, spectators and fans affected. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation The Cancer Task Force of the Healthy Berrien Consortium identified household hazardous waste as a significant probable cause for the increase of cancer incidence in Berrien County. Concerned with these cancer statistics, the Unity Hospital Education Fund provided a grant to the consortium for $1800 to fund the development of a pilot awareness program for area schools. The focus of the project includes awareness of the danger of these hazardous wastes and best practices for their removal from the home. The program model is a play format to be used throughout Berrien county. Middle school students can write, produce and perform the play for early elementary students. The kit includes a template for creating the play, materials for the stage production, and packets of information that each youngster who sees the play can take home to parents. Midland Foundation There can be no doubt that the continuation of construction and amenities for the Pere Marquette Rail-Trail of Mid Michigan has impacted the largest number of people, has created the most significant economic impact, and will continue to enhance the quality of life in Midland County for many years to come. This multiyear project has created a wonderful linear park which stretches 22 miles from Midland through Coleman, and which is in continuous use. It provides family entertainment and exercise opportunities on a daily basis; it has been the site of fund raising activities for may nonprofit organizations; and it has brought many tourists into the area. It has generated revenue for local businesses adjacent to the trail and for those who sell and service bicycles, inline skates, and related equipment. 32 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) Community Foundation of Monroe County Scholarship programs continue to be the most visible grants in Monroe County. Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation The Foundation joined with a governmental authority, the Cultural and Recreational Committee, to form a fund raising committee for a Community Center for Isabella County. The Foundation contributed $15,000 to do a feasibility study on the possibility of raising $6 million to build the community center. The Foundation also spearheaded a community rally to gather support and to educate the public about the project. This was a great success and the committee is gearing up to start fund raising in 1998. Community Foundation for Muskegon County Grand Valley State University Research Vessel- $100,000 The Foundation provided major support to this collaborative effort which brings a water research vessel, the W G. Jackson, to Muskegon Lake. Thousands of school children in Muskegon County will learn about environmental science in the fi.dl classroom laboratory facilities aboard the vessel. The project is a joint educational effort of GVSU and the Muskegon Area Intermediate School District. 'The vessel will also provide environmental research on Muskegon Lake. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan In December 1996, a grant of $2,500 was given to Posen Area Fire & Rescue for lifesaving equipment. Posen is a small community in Presque Isle County, one of the four counties which the Foundation covers. Prior to receipt of this grant, Posen Area Fire & Rescue had old, antiquated lifesaving equipment, or the volunteer rescue workers bought their own equipment. With this grant, equipment was purchased that will save lives for years to come. Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation Rochester Hills Museum - Roof and alarm system for the Red Salt Box House on the Sara Van Hoosen Jones farm allows the museum to use the facility for various functions. Saginaw Community Foundation The Saginaw Community Foundation gave a $5,000 grant to be used for activities during the Week Without Violence, held October 6-12. Grant funds helped to provide a week of events emphasizing a community without violence. Events included a health fair for children, the production of"Violence: Families Speak Out", a video shown to middle school and high school students which interviewed individuals who have lost children or siblings as a result of violence, a candlelight vigil in honor of survivors and victims of domestic violence and a community forum on preventing racism and hate crimes. 33 �Grants That Make A Difference (con't.)

Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan The Ann Arbor Community Development Corporation received a $5,000 grant to support the start-up of a Women's Business Resource Center. The Center will further train graduates of the Center on computer applications and internet skills. These women were former welfare recipients and now are entrepreneurs. They were trained at the Ann Arbor CDC. Sturgis Foundation A grant for $5,500 to the Substance Abuse coupcil of St. Joseph County. The money was used to provide a part-time staff position in Sturgis for the women's program of recovery, HOPE. . 34 __j �- ---·------·- -- - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - ----, Leadership Role of Community Foundations Community Foundations often impact their communities in ways that may or may not involve specific grants. Please briefly describe the leadership role played by your community foundation in the past year of which you are most proud. Albion Civic Foundation Possibly the most significant thing we have done is to intentionally study our role in the community. We have just reformed our Mission Statement to address a more defined role. This year we have been a silent partner to the Albion Volunteer Service Organization which was facing serious problems. We have assisted them in many ways and are happy to report that they are now in a position to hire an executive director. This is due to the effort of many people who have had a commitment to the value of the organization in the community. Allegan County Foundation Wellness Center Challenge Grant to encourage local giving. We challenged the city of Allegan to raise $100,000 toward a sports complex. We matched it with a gift of $50,000. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation There are 2 equally important examples. One is the position that all youth are at-risk and that focus should be on at-risk times. The Foundation and YAC have had public meetings on the issue of positive activities in the at-risk hours. It may be that the start of a "Teen Center Without Walls" is being created. Also, serving as a neutral party/spotting or anticipating problems and acting to prevent them. The Foundation has provided start-up support of a large collaborative pilot initiative focusing on the development of transportation solutions for residents of this community. Baraga County Community Foundation Youth leadership program funded by the Michigan extension project. Sponsored leadership training on the differences of each person, personality styles, working together in groups. Barry Community Foundation Being the lead funder for the Needs Assessment is truly the avenue that will direct the future of our county government, nonprofits and this foundation. We have also shown that we believe in this process by placing two board members on this committee. 35 �Leadership Role in Community Foundation (con 't.) Bay Area Community Foundation The Foundation recruited a steering committee of volunteers in the community to coordinate the construction of the Imagination Station, as 12,000 square foot playscape for children. Subcommittees for donated materials, purchased materials, child care, volunteer recruitment, food and a children's committee were formed, involving over 3,000 volunteers who participated in the five-day construction process. Cadillac Area Community Foundation Our support of the city's Canal Project helped make this become a reality. It was a big project involving many sectors, and we played a role in making it happen. Capital Region Community Foundation In 1995, the Foundation became one often funders underwriting the cost of a community facilitator. In 1996 it assumed responsibility as employer ofthis individual. The $300,000 three-year pilot project is funded by the profit and nonprofit sector. Its goal is to find solutions to community problems as identified by the United Way's Shared Vision Process. The facilitator is charged with initiating collaboration to find new ways of solving old problems through outside sources of funding. The position was filled in June 1997. - Charlevoix County Community Foundation During Charlevoix's Venetian Festival, a fireworks shell exploded sending shrapnel into a crowd of several thousand. The residents of the town wanted to assist the victims - one was killed and several injured - so they requested a special fund be established with the Foundation. So far over $250,000 has been collected in a massive volunteer effort and the process of distribution of funds has begun. The Fremont Area Foundation The Foundation convened community leaders to develop a county-wide leadership program. The Leadership in Newaygo County (LINC) program is designed to continually develop the leaders of tomorrow to maintain and improve the quality of life in the community. The Foundation developed program has three components: an annual Leadership Day consisting of training institutes, panel discussions and professional presentations; a comprehensive leadership series consisting of monthly day-long sessions focusing on skill development, critical needs awareness and issues education; and a miniseminar series providing three or four one-half day presentations of dynamic professional development programs. Grand Haven Area Community Foundation We are involved in an organization called NOACC-North Ottawa Area Community Coalition. Agencies, schools, government, industry, and grantmakers convene once a month to work collaboratively to maintain a healthy environment for children and families. 36 �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) Grand Haven Area Community Foundation We are involved in an organization called NOACC-North Ottawa Area Community Coalition. Agencies, schools, government, industry, and grantmakers convene once a month to work collaboratively to maintain a healthy environment for children and families. The Grand Rapids Foundation Until one year ago, families at risk of child abuse or neglect could not receive community support services unless actual abuse was documented. Since implementing the "Perspective 21 !"program, families deemed to be at-risk are now offered free, voluntary community support services. It is our hope that by strengthening families, abuse and neglect can be prevented. This effort began in response to a task force convened by the Foundation in 1992 to tackle the tough issues surrounding child abuse and neglect, and to make recommendations to the community. The Foundation has continued to work with community leaders to impact changes across systems, and to ensure community implementation of the task force's recommendations. Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation Our Foundation continued to play a leadership role in the area of land use and growth management. As an integral part of the New Designs for Growth Program, the Foundation helped facilitate discussions on growth, the environment, planning and transportation. The Foundation played a key role in facilitating an open discussion on roads, replacement of a bridge in a sensitive environmental area and a proposed bypass that could have potentially resulted in litigation. Gratiot County Community Foundation Involvement in community planning for the future. Members of our Board have been highly involved in the Gratiot County Strategic Plan. The present chair of the Strategic Plan Committee is a foundation trustee, as is the immediate past chair. Many of the Foundation committee members and several trustees are part of the large Strategic Plan Committee. Hillsdale County Community Foundation During the year we have brought the major nonprofit organizations together and made initial plans for a combination of a nonprofit office and volunteer center. The Foundation plans to conduct the major fund raising for this $1 million+ project. We intend that this effort will: 1) lower administrative costs of all nonprofits; 2) provide an opportunity to share equipment and common meeting and storage areas; 3) make nonprofit services more readily available to the public and; 4) engender needed program cooperation between the agenctes. 37 �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area The Foundation is taking on a greater and greater leadership role in our greater community. Our grant to Heritage Home helped bring two agencies together in a merger. We also met with them to help make their merger happen. Another grant became a key for a project that involved private citizens, a city, a township and the Foundation. Kalamazoo Foundation In March 1996 the Kalamazoo Foundation convened a meeting of all organizations in the community which were interested in micro-loans or small business loans. The Foundation engaged the services of the W.E. Upjohn Institute to help facilitate future meetings. There has been a collaborative effort to share information about small business assistance. In addition, all the varying and potentially competing interests in administering small business loans have now agreed that these efforts will be coordinated through Healthy Futures. The Foundation has stayed involved in this process throughout these many months working very carefully to help move it in a proper direction. These efforts have now reached fruition and a micro-loan effort in our community should be forthcoming under the label of Entrepreneurial Financial Assistance Program in the near future. M & M Area Community Foundation Although our Foundation has not made any grants, we feel we are developing new leadership in our communities through the work of directors and committee member in raising funds and doing the other myriad of tasks required to promote public awareness of the Foundation to help us reach our final phase goal of the Kellogg Challenge. Marshall Community Foundation We are working with the other four Calhoun County community foundations to collaborate on Y AC programming in a Violence Prevention Seminar. A Y AC Advisor and Executive Director are county coordinators to gather and organize information around service and volunteerism in the county. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation With the extension of our services beyond the limits of the Buchanan area, we have become an active reagent for change in our extended geographic area. As the Michigan Gateway Community Foundation, we have over 60 community leaders working together to discuss area-wide concerns ... our similarities as well as our differences .. .to forge a new alliance for meeting community needs. 38 �_,..:,..-- -- - Leadership Role of Community Foundation (can't.) Midland Foundation We view the development of youth as community leaders as one of our most significant roles. In the past year, we were most proud of some significant accomplishments of our youth: increased levels of community volunteerism, independent budget development, creating a youth needs assessment survey, collection and analysis of the data and development of proactive grantmaking based on the results. Through the course of the year, we recognized a change of focus in our approach to the YAC. Instead ofteaching our youth to be future community leaders, we are now enabling them to be the effective leaders they already are. Community Foundation of Monroe County Administration of an agency fund to build a monument to the men of Monroe County who died in World War I and II. Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation The Foundation created a Development Council in the County. Development officers from all nonprofit agencies are invited to get together on a quarterly basis. The purpose is to get to know each other, help each other, learn f!:om each other, and improve our respective efforts. Community Foundation for Muskegon County The Muskegon Area Children's Agenda, an initiative of the Foundation, exists to improve the conditions for our children by mobilizing powerful new voices in the community to work on their behalf. Created in 1995, the Agenda stands for the principle that children are our most valuable and vulnerable resource. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan The Foundation hosts a Community Leaders Luncheon monthly during the academic year. More than 100 community leaders are invited to attend the luncheons which include presentations on items of interest to the community. They have helped to bring the Foundation to the forefront of community leadership as a convenor for community discussions as well as a catalyst for needed change. Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation Our community foundation holds quarterly meeting for Emmet County nonprofit directors in order to exchange information, to network and to share resources and ideas. From this has grown the ability to act as one unit when needed and to support one another in the work of building a healthy community. 39 �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con't.) Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation In late 1996, the Foundation became involved with two major brick sale projects in the community. The Foundation is a major partner in these coalitions, allowing donors and community organizations to contribute to these community projects. Saginaw Community Foundation The Foundation convened service providers, educators, law enforcement personnel, government officials and other concerned citizens to conduct the Week Without Violence. This community-wide initiative helped to increase awareness ofviolence while identifying alternatives to violence in our homes, schools and neighborhoods (see Grants That Make a Difference). Community Foundation of St. Clair County Through a newly created Speakers Bureau, the Foundation goes out into the community and speaks to various groups and organizations about the Foundation and what it means to the area it serves. Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan The Foundation has started a new program to educate the African-American community on planned giving. Sturgis Foundation The establishment of our Y AC and the wonderful publicity surrounding the Y AC and Kellogg Challenge brought the Sturgis Foundation into focus for our community. In 1995, the Foundation acted as the fiscal agent and held pass-through and endowment funds for our new community center. 40 �' Seption Ill •· ... · -~ .:; - • ....... ._-., ~ - ...:.':.

It is helpful to review these annually as part of a self-audit process. The role of the Y AC is to recommend grants from a permanent Youth Fund after assessing local youth needs, be involved in fund development, and support systems for involving youth in philanthropy. 1. The YAC is adopted by the Board as one of the permanent standing committees ofthe community foundation. 2. The YAC meets a minimum of six times a year. 3. YAC membership of at least 7 youth is representative of the youth community. 4. A trained adult advisor works with the YAC. 5. There is an annual orientation process for new YAC members. 6. As the basis for grantmaking, the YAC collects information, at least every three years, about the assets and needs related to youth in its community. 7. YAC members are provided opportunities to be involved in fund development. Helping to ensure the continued growth of the youth fund, emphasis should be placed on donor calls and community presentations, based on local youth issues and concerns, rather than "fn!ld raising" activities. 8. The YAC completes an annual proactive grantmaking process, that involves and builds the capacity of youth as resources and decision makers in their communities, and results in the recommendation of grants to the community foundation Board. 9. YAC members should participate in available leadership training opportunities. 10. A process to evaluate its activities, including the effectiveness of grants. 11. YAC members have an opportunity to meet annually with members of the Board of Trustees of the community foundation. When appropriate, YAC members may attend board meetings, participate in an annual meeting, or join in special events that provide opportunities for sharing with the Board. 12. Grantmaking by the YAC is featured in annual reports, newsletters, public presentations, and other communications tools. This communicates to the wider public the importance of the Y AC and youth involvement as community problem-solvers. 13. The community foundation may support a project funded by the YAC with income from a different endowment fund The community foundation board may jointly fund a project with theYAC. 14. The YAC may review youth-related proposals that are submitted to the community foundation atlarge. As experienced grantmakers, YAC members can provide valuable insights into the value of projects serving youth. 44 �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Advisory Committee Total Number of Grants Made Through August 1997 Cummulative 0 Number of Grants 1996 1988 Number of Grants Cmnmulative 3 3 1997 336 1,999 Aug. 1997 �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Advisory Committee Total Amount of Grants Paid Through August 1997 $3,500,000 $3,000,000 $2,500,000 $2,000,000 $1,500,000 $1,000,000 Cummulative Total 1996 Amount 1989 $19,203 1996 $929,761 August 1997 $509,033 Curnmulative $19,203 $2,882,04 $3,391,037 Aug. 1997 �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Advisory Committee Number of YACs Making Grants Through August 1997 0 1989 1990 1992 1991 1988 3 1993 1997 50 1994 1995 1996 1997 �---~ ""··- - ·· -· -- ···---, --- ··--·-·-··- ..... ·-·----- - -- ---- - - .

We have not only impacted our Y AC by helping them to be aware of their role as philanthropists, but we have become known to young children who probably would never have heard of the Foundation. This knowledge extends to their families . We also have had an increasing number of contributions from teachers. This seems to be a win-win situation for all. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Ann Arbor Public Schools/Community Education and Recreation -$13,000 As a result of a YAC RFP, this grant was awarded to open public school facilities on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons and evenings for all Ann Arbor 9-12 graders. Dances, "Battles of the Bands", tutoring, recreational activities and computer training are just some of the student designed and implemented activities that have taken place since this grant was awarded. Cadillac Area Community Foundation A $3,000 start-up grant to help form a new soccer program for kids. Soccer popularity has grown substantially in this area and this new program involved 200-300 boys and girls. Capital Region Com_munity Foundation Perhaps the most unusual grant made in 1996 by tfie Youth PAC was a grant made to itself whereby the members planned and executed a one-day seminar for area youth on Leadership and Diversity. PAC members had responsibility for conference planning, budgeting, and promotion. The conference included keynote speakers, lecture sessions, participatory games with an emphasis on values and perceptions, and ended with a dance. This experience provided the groundwork for a second youth seminar in the spring of 1997- applying lessons learned from the first seminar. By evaluating the impact on society of internal and external stereotypes and prejudices, youth participants expanded their own horizons and broadened personal tolerance through understanding. The Fremont Area Foundation The Y AC successfully promoted the creation or enhancement of youth-to-youth mentoring programs in all five area school districts. By convening a group of youth from high schools, a grant proposal was developed to provide experiential leadership training to high school volunteers who then mentor at-risk elementary students. In addition, the grant provided funding for special activities for the mentors and students and some administrative funding. Grand Haven Area Community Foundation Funding to bring the Aids Quilt to Spring Lake High School. The Grand Rapids Foundation A grant to the Dispute Resolution Center, allowing them to train youth between 14-16 to work in the City Parks over the summer months. The program promoted peaceful resolution of disputes, while providing summer employment for 70 teens. �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Hillsdale County Community Foundation A small grant of$500 to the Jonesville National Honor Society Service Project had a far reaching impact. The grant matched funds raised for registration to a statewide meeting where they were challenged to do community service. Upon returning, the group adopted the local Domestic Violence Shelter. Following a community-wide paper products and consumable goods drive, they delivered a truck load of products to the shelter. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area A grant to Child Development Services of Ottawa County, Inc. for start-up equipment funds ($15,000) for a new northside child care center for low income families. The Jackson Community Foundation Aside from small nonprofit grants made to human service organizations that benefit children, the majority of funding was given in the form of mini-grants for school organizations or classroom use. Thousands of youngsters were affected by these grants. Kalamazoo Foundation The youth sponsored a one-day workshop attend by approximately 100 representatives from youth-serving agencies throughout the county. Youth were challenged to rethink how they approach youth development, focusing on assets rather than problems. Young people are now in the process of identifying resources in their neighborhoods, entering that information in to a geographic systems database, and preparing to staff phone lines which will enable their peers to access the information. Marquette Community Foundation To Graveraet Middle School with a matching grant from the Marquette Public Schools Education Foundation. This collaborative grant enabled sixth grade students to produce a video project on Marquette's architecture and'people. Students participated in all phases of video production, researched architecture, interviewed community members and produced an award-winning 2video series which is now being used by teachers district-wide for education. Marshall Community Foundation TheYAC grant for $5,000 given to the newly created Marshall Ballet Company probably had the greatest impact. The company produced "The Nutcracker" involving 150 youth as well as parents, friends and the audience. YACers now say that through their grant they are able to support a now annual event. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation The Youth Advisory Committee brought representatives of every sport and extra-curricular activity at Buchanan High School together at the beginning of the 1996 school year to participate in a youth leadership conference to provide leadership skills for student role models. The conference provided practical information about organizing and running meetings, as well as an anti-drug message with self-esteem components. This conference energized and focused student leaders at the beginning ofthe year when the fast-track for effective interaction would make the most difference for successfully meeting the goals of athletic teams, band, SADD, academic clubs, and student government. �- - -- - -- - - - - -- -- - - - -- - - -- - - - - -- - - - - - - - -· ··- -···-····- ·· Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Midland Foundation The grant for Sharing Tree Project ($1,000) of the Voluntary Action Center had impact that went far beyond that which was anticipated. The grant paid for Christmas gifts for children from lowincome families. The impact on the children receiving the gifts was great. Additional impact was on the YAC members as holiday giving took on a whole new meaning and the work "philanthropy" came to life. Community Foundation of Monroe County A $5,000 grant to the 4H for a new roof for their activity center. This center serves over 2,000 young people in the county. Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation The YAC gave $2,000 to fund a Youth Forum. Students from all area schools were brought together for breakout sessions on such things as abuse by parents/adults, substance abuse and diversity. This was very successful and resulted in developing community service projects for follow-up work. It also helped empower the young people of the County to tackle everyday problems. Community Foundation for Muskegon County Muskegon Museum of Art (MMA) $15,000 to sponsor the exhibit, Action Adventures, the Comic Book Art of Scott Rosema. Mr. Rosema ·is-a ~uskegon native and nationally know comic book artist. The exhibit demonstrated the process of comic book illustration from simple idea sketches to the actual finished design. The Art Museum hoped that the exhibit would bring a new audience to the Museum and was thrilled with the record-breaking crowds and the many first time visitors to this youth sponsored show. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan Two Y AC grants totalling $4,000 were to the Alpena Volunteer Center during 1996 for the Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC). Approximately 130 young people from the ages 13-19 participate in YVC every year. YVC members learn the importance of service and volunteerism through active service to their community. This program impacts not only the YVC members, but also all of the recipients of the services performed. Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation Holy Childhood, Northern Michigan's largest daycare program was losing its entire staff as the School Sisters ofNotre Dame were leaving the area. The YAC provided a grant of$5,000 to help cover operating expenses and help keep the program running for over 100 children and their families. Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation Rochester High School's PRIDE program allowed 22 students to be trained to do anti-drug use programs in the elementary schools. . .... .... . .. . �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Saginaw Community Foundation White Pine Middle School's Help Change Hunger program received a $2,000 grant to help provide meals for up to 50 homeless and low income people of Saginaw for two school years. The group, made up of approximately 25 middle school students, plans the menu for the weekly breakfast and lunch, purchases the needed items, prepares the food, serves the meals and does all fund-raisers for the program. Sanilac County Community Foundation Our YAC coordinated and implemented bringing Laurie Stewart, a nationally known teen motivator, to the county for the largest assembly ever presented to all seven school districts under one roof Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan The Western International High School. The program provided insight into career opportunities for urban students of several nationalities. The school credits the grant for encouraging students to go to college and seek professional careers. They had the largest number of students enroll in college in the past 25 years. Sturgis Foundation The middle school principal requested funding to take a group of at-risk students, who were studying etiquette in class, out to a nice restaurant for a Thanksgiving dinner. The principal felt that the self-esteem boost for the students was great. �Council of Michigan Foundations One South Harbor Avenue POBox 599 Grand Haven MI 49417 Phone: 616-842-7080 Fax: 616-842-1760 http:\\www.novagate . com/~cmf Mariam C.

This ongoing funding program allows shoppers at area grocery stores to add 75 cents to their shopping total to be donated to the food pantry. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Youth Volunteer Corps Fourth year of support for this youth service program has firmly established a vehicle for youth volunteerism in .1he community. Since 1994, over 700 youth have volunteered approximately 15,000 hours to over 100 projects. In a special collaborative project, "The Chain ofPlenty", YVC and four community agencies provide hot meals prepared by special needs students to the homeless shelter.

Branch County Community Foundation The Foundation helped to fund a new community center for use by citizens of the county. Cadillac Area Community Foundation Trusting and Entrusting Youth, a day-long leadership conference with 125 people attending, 75 teens and 50 adults. Capital Region Community Foundation Cash and in-kind contributions from individuals, corporations, and the labor community funded an interactive jumping-jets fountain at the entrance to Oldsmobile Park, the home ofthe award winning baseball team, the Lansing Lugnuts. Fans from throughout Michigan and conventioneers from throughout the world are attracted to the aerated water from the fountain. While the Foundation has funded many noteworthy projects throughout the year, none has surpassed Lugnut's Fountain in bringing forth such sheer joy to countless numbers of people within and without our community. Charlevoix County Community Foundation Planned Parenthood of Northern Michigan was awarded a grant from the Eugene B. Renkiewicz Memorial Fund to develop and pilot a male responsibility program aimed at adolescent age boys. Through the project, Planned Parenthood staff reviewed successful programs that target males, developed a program that met local needs and values, and piloted the program in Charlevoix County during 1997. Most efforts to prevent unwanted pregnancy focus on women and girls. The ultimate goal of Out of the Locker Room is to develop a program which will reduce teen pregnancy by addressing adolescent males' selfesteem, communication skills, abstinence and contraception, and decision-making. Four County Foundation The Foundation granted funds to area libraries, which are a vital community resource. The Fremont Area Foundation The most significant grant was to Gerber Memorial Health Services for its family services expansion, emergency room and laboratory renovation project. The grant was the largest "bricks and mortar" award ever given to a hospital in the United States by a foundation $1.25 million along with a matching grant up to $2.5 million. In addition, the Foundation is providing administrative support by tracking gifts and pledges for the duration of the hospital's fundraising campaign. 32 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) The Grand Rapids Foundation Perspective 21 This grant was awarded to five local agencies that provide supportive services to families who are at risk for child abuse and neglect, because they have been reported to protective services, but the case is unsubstantiated. Families are offered services, including counseling and emergency assistance designed to reduce the changes of abuse and neglect occurring. To date, more than 150 families have received services. Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation The second annual Quality of Life index. It serves as a community report card on public perception of 10 different areas that affect the quality of life in this region. The summary report serves as a tool for organizations, civic groups, agencies and local governments and grantmakers to help clarify community needs and assets and target their efforts to improve a specific indicator. Gratiot County Compmnity Foundation All sixth grade students in the county were touched by the grant we gave to the Department ofExercise Health Science of Alma College. A group ofEHS students presented a Heart Health Fair to all sixth graders by going into the schools with many activities that taught the students the importance of caring for their hearts starting at a young age. Not only did this impact many young people, it made the students aware that as individuals, they have control over the health of their hearts. Greenville Area Foundation A grant to Camp Wah-Wah-Tay-See to recondition the main lodge, bring the kitchen up to Health Department standards and install a new furnace so the camp can be used yearround. The Comm. Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area A grant to construct a pedestrian/bike bridge over a river along the Holland/Zeeland corridor. Partial funding came from the Youth Fund. This project was a collaborative effort between the Community Foundation, the City of Zeeland, Holland Township and private donors. The Jackson Community Foundation A 2 year, $100,000 grant toward a capital campaign launched by the Jackson Y Center to renovate and expand its existing facility. We were not confident that they had given sufficient consideration to strengthening their organization's ability to grow, adapt and change with the expanded facility. Therefore a contingency of the grant was that theY Center management team and board members participate in a twelve month organizational development process with a consulting firm identified by the Foundation 33 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) · Jackson Community Foundation (continued) as best suited for the work. Members of Board and staff have made it clear that this process has been the best thing that ever happened to the Y. This process was jointly funded with the Weatherwax Foundation, a private foundation in Jackson. As a result of the positive progress, the Weatherwax Foundation has awarded them additional funding to continue the organizational development process training. This grant will make a lasting difference in the community and is a great example of collaboration and cooperation between community and private foundations. Kalamazoo Foundation The Foundation provided a grant of $1.5 million to Downtown Tomorrow, Inc. to assist the community in creating a downtown area to develop and sustain economic vitality. Leelanau Township Foundation. Inc. The Children's Discovery Center grant was a gr~at help to augment their new building with necessary furnishings and supplies. Marshall Community Foundation During out last fiscal year, we distributed $17,255 in scholarships. I believe this combination of grants made a significant impact on the community educational level. Many of out high school graduates return to the community as college graduates and become contributing citizens. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation The Foundation provided the final granting dollars to initiate a youth mentoring program called Postponing Sexual Involvement. The program creates teams of high school students who model sexual responsibility and who are trained in demonstrating ways to say no to early sexual activity. The opportunity for frank discussion, positive support for abstinence, and the development of effective tools for an age group just becoming aware of their sexuality and those most easily victimized by adults who take advantage of them, serves a highly recognized need in our communities. We anticipate substantiation of the effectiveness of the program through reduced pregnancy in early teens. Community Foundation of Monroe County Two projects brought great visibility this year. We supported the erection of a monument for World Wars I and II through a grant and by administering a pass-through fund for the World Wars Monument. We also gave a large grant to the Vietnam Veterans of America to bring the "Moving Wall" VietNam Memorial to Monroe. Because of this support, we have been approached by more organizations to establish new funds than ever in our history. 34 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation The Foundation set up a committee and gran~ed $15,000 to fund a feasibility study to establish the funding options for a community swimming pool, meeting rooms, etc. The study is complete and the committee continues to move forward with the results of the survey. Community Foundation for Muskegon County In 1991, the Foundation "adopted" 54 students, the entire 5th grade class in a low-income neighborhood elementary school. Our goal was to find out why the children of families who live in poverty aren't using the education system to advance themselves. We also wanted to learn how a community foundation grant program could be most effective in creating positive change in these children's lives. 27 of the 54 students are entering post high school education, compared with 3 from the comparison group class. The lessons learned from this program are being shared with the community. We expect the impact of the results to be broad reaching in community institutions and the Foundation's own grantmaking program. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan The Foundation gave $2,500 to Sandborn Township for their Kids Car Shinga-ba Shores playground. The total cost of the project is over $100,000 and the entire community is helping to raise money and volunteering time to build it. Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation The Foundation served as fiscal agent for two community improvement projects during the past year. Both involved the building of new city parks, financed in large part by the selling of engraved bricks. Our role in these projects was to receive and receipt the orders and money and then pay out grants to the sponsoring organizations to cover expenses. Our reputation and ability to provide tax deductibility for donations helped ensure the success of these projects. Saginaw Community Foundation Between the last quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998, our foundation granted $32,500 towards a Carousel project. This is a project that has involved not only hundreds of community volunteers in the construction of the project, but also will serve generations to come. (See Leadership Roles for further information) Community Foundation of St. Clair County A grant to Bridge Builders Counseling Inc. to develop a preventative program for therapeutic support and educational services for single parent families. 35 �Grants That Make A Difference (con 't.) Sanilac County Community Foundation A grant to the M-25 Water Committee. Quality water supplies are scare today along the Lake Huron shoreline. The Committee is organizing to bring a public water supply to lakeshore residents. This increases the tax base of the county and insures quality and quantity of water for a large portion of our population. Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan A $20,000 grant to the Youth Sports and Recreation Centers Project to support the community involvement components of the Re-capitalization of Recreation Centers projects. The grant will help to leverage funds for a $11.2 million renovation of four recreation centers. The community will be partners in planning programs and services for children, families, senior and the community at large. Sturgis Foundation A grant to the Michiana Addictions and Prevention Services organization. This group has a program called HOPE for women recovering from various addictions. They meet weekly to learn skills to help them out of their present situations. Our grant provides and aid to help with the women from our community. 36 �Leadership Role of Community Foundations Community Foundations often impact their communities in ways that may or may not involve specific grants. Please briefly describe the leadership role played by your community foundation in the past year of which you are most proud. Albion Civic Foundation We were greatly involved in the rebirth of the Albion Volunteer Service organization by giving our support in a number of ways. Our most visible help was relieving them of rent payments for eight months while they got back on their feet again. We regularly interact with nonprofits in our building. Allegan County Foundation The Foundation worked with the city of Saugatuck to encourage local business owners to donate buildings and land to the community for civic center. Results are pending. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Staff met with representatives of agencies -eroviding services to seniors in the area. Foundation staff presented the possibility that a portion of the senior designated funds could be earmarked annually for an ongoing senior program. The agency representatives quickly devised a plan that would provide for the emergency needs oflow-income elderly with access through any of the agencies. The plan was further defined and refined by the agencies and presented to the Board as the Senior Unmet Needs Fund. This fund has attracted additional donors and has been successful in meeting the emergency needs of the low-income elderly. Barry Community Foundation A donor was approached to discuss funding of a District Library in which funds would be solicited from 6 townships and the City of Hastings. The concept is this library will better serve the constituents of our community, with the long-term goal that it will become a Regional Library. The donor was interested but hesitant to give a large first gift. The Foundation was approached to set up a pass'-through fund because of the trust that has been developed. With a new college in our county, our students need to have educational and research materials more accessible. We are excited about the long-term potential that this service will provide for our County. Bay Area Community Foundation We convened the DEQ, General Motors, a State Representative and a Congressman in a project we call the Draper Property. The Foundation purchased wetlands to be used as an environmental outdoor laboratory for school children to enjoy. Local service clubs will be cleaning up the area and local businesses will be organizing a community build day. Eventually, the property will be owned by the local school district. 37 �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) Berrien Community Foundation In February a public campaign was launched (with support from local media) to give voice to the charitable interests and capabilities of women. The response generated a greater awareness of the Foundation, expanded the foundation's donor base of women, raised the power level of women in our community, and enabled many women to be active in the grantmaking process of the Foundation. We now have a growing movement of philanthropic women who realize that they are one of the community's greatest untapped resources. As a result, there are two funds to serve women: 100 Women Strong supports women in financial crisis and Woman to Woman supports various programs that help women. Branch County Community Foundation The Foundation convened a nonprofit coalition to help nonprofit networking and to help identify and address the opportunities and challenges unique to nonprofits. Cadillac Area Community Foundation Youth Leadership Conference included a needs assessment and strategic programs for empowering youth. Capital Region Community Foundation The Foundation, by positioning itself as "The Center for Charitable Giving", is most proud of its public service ability to answer, field or refer questions concerning "giving and getting" for donors, nonprofits, corporations and professional advisors. These educational initiatives, even those that do not directly benefit the Foundation today, are leading to a sounder, collective understanding of charitable giving, and are steadily building community resources over time. Charlevoix County Community Foundation The Charlevoix Venetian Festival fireworks explosion rattled our communities and shattered the lives of several families. But good people in our area quickly rallied forming a special team, assessing the extent of damage and injury, organizing a number of fundraising activities, and pitching in to do all they could to help. Within just a few weeks, almost $300,000 was raised to assist families affected by the tragic mishap. The Charlevoix Fireworks victim fund was created by local citizens with the Community Foundation, to receive and distribute funds to help these families meet their expenses and manage life's demands. 38 - ------ �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) The Fremont Area Foundation The Foundation funded and operated Leadership in Newaygo County (LINC) program completed its first year. It provides residents and persons who work in Newaygo County with the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills and broaden their perspective of th,e County. Topics address a variety of skill development, critical issues/needs education and other related materials from conflict resolution to strategic planning, and economic development to natural resources. The Grand Rapids Foundation Helping the System Help Kids Report This report represents the culmination of a five-year effort to improve the lives of children in our community. Perspective 21 ! Resulted in creation of supportive services for families referred to Protective Services for abuse, but where abuse was not substantiated. Families for Kids is a W.K. Kellogg Foundation-funded system reform effort to decrease the number of children in foster care. This project resulted in creation of the Family and Community Compact, a program designed to involve families in creating a plan for care when children are removed from their homes. The report also highlights other innovative community child welfare programs, such as Healthy Start and Early Impact and details the Foundation's role in their continuation. Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation The Foundation currently manages 15 environmental grants, the most of any community foundation in the Great Lakes Collaborative for the Environment. All of the funds are dedicated to protecting and enhancing the unique natural beauty and pristine quality of the land and water resources in our region. Gratiot County Community Foundation The Foundation board members play a big part in the community. The most noticeable are the leadership roles that many of our Board members have in the Gratiot County Strategic Plan. This group has been active for several years and continues to supply goals for the County. Our Board members have held the various board and committee positions. In fact, it was partially because of the Strategic Plan that our Community Foundation was formed. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area The Foundation gave a grant to bring about the merger of two agencies that decrease duplication of services. It has also been sought out to be part of community discussions on community childcare, area wide concerns such as transportation and environmental issues, and community development. 39 �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) Jackson Community Foundation Under the leadership of the Foundation working closely with the United Way of Jackson County, a broad-based group of community leaders met to explore the creation of a center to provide various forms of support for Jackson County nonprofits. We are confident that the center will operational by April 1999. Kalamazoo Foundation Foundation program staff assisted in bringing together key players in the development and implementation of a micro-loan fund for low-income entrepreneurs. The resulting project has both the grass-roots support and the technical expertise it needs to promote a valuable resource for the community. Marquette Community Foundation A collaboration of community nonprofit organizations facilitated the development of a nonprofit collaborative office environment. The idea for this has existed for many years and the project became reality in 1997. The Q.uilding is owned by the Children's Museum and rent supports Museum programs. The Nonprofit commons offers many time, personnel and cost saving opportunities for the tenants as well as other community nonprofits. Marshall Community Foundation The Foundation has offered challenge grants to prospective grantees, brought adults and youth together as community resources and has YACers serving on the United Way Board. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation The Foundation worked with the Rotary Club Board to define the Club's framework for effective giving. Now requests for funding are handled consistently, fairly and meet the mission of the local club. The immediate result has been more effective giving, a benefit for all nonprofit agencies in our area. The long-term result has been an opportunity to demonstrate to a concerned group of involved community leaders our own expertise in the charitable arena and how effective a community foundation can be in using community resources. 40 �Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) Midland Foundation We view the development of youth as commuhity leaders as one of our most significant roles. In the past year, we were most proud of some significant accomplishments of our youth: increased levels of community volunteerism, independent budget development, creating a youth needs assessment survey, collection and analysis of the data and development of proactive grantmaking based on the results. Through the course ofthe year, we recognized a change of focus in our approach to the YAC. Instead of teaching our youth to be future community leaders, we are now enabling them to be the effective leaders they already are. Community Foundation of Monroe County The Foundation is proud of its role in the development of new leaders in the community. We do this through our funds, our committees and our support ofYAC. We also bring leaders together to stimulate partnerships for the betterment of the community. Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation With the assistance ofMid Michigan CommunitY College, the Foundation held a free grant writing class for nonprofits in Isabella County. It was very educational, very well attended and very beneficial to the nonprofit sector. The Foundation hopes to continue this educational series. Community Foundation for Muskegon County The Foundation made the decision in the mid 1970s to purchase a block of abandoned property in downtown Muskegon which included an historic theater. Since that time the Foundation has operated the Theater and provided financial support. In the 1980s the Foundation undertook a fund drive that turned an adjoining property into a functioning performing arts facility and in 1995 helped to lead an effort to pass a county-wide bond issue for the renovation of the historic theater and an aging arena in the downtown area. The bond issue was passed and in 1997-1998 the final step in the creation of the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts became a reality with the completion of an $8 million restoration of this classic theater. Because of the Foundation's leadership, a vital 50,000 square foot performing arts center now stands in an area that at one time was slated to become a parking lot and has become a key anchor to downtown revitalization. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan The Foundation is proud of its leadership in (1) gathering community leaders together for luncheons to discuss issues, (2) acting as a convenor in the region through the Great Lakes Community Foundation Collaborative and (3) as co-sponsor of America's Promise in the area. 41 �··-- - · - - -- - - - - -- -- --·-·-··- - -- - Leadership Role of Community Foundation (con 't.) Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation We played a leadership role by sponsoring quarterly meetings of Emmet County nonprofit directors (the Brown Bag Bunch) to network and share information and resources. From this has grown the ability to act as one unit when needed, to share resources and ideas, to collaborate and to support one another. Our YAC acts as a catalyst for change in our community through their role as grantmakers. They have caused more community groups to look at youth as assets and to trust and respect their knowledge. By investing in the development oftoday's youth, we're helping tomorrow's adults learn about good leadership and the importance of caring for their community and its people. Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation Through our board and group efforts, we are involved in community planning and assisting nonprofit organizations. Our primary leadership role in 1997 was with the two community parks projects (see Grants That Make A Difference). Another major impact we had was with an environmental and educational organization called Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve. The Foundation provided them a matching grant for a capital building drive and our Y AC made a five-year pledge in that same campaign. Sanilac County Community Foundation Our Y ACers are having a large impact on peer pressure in our schools. Students are learning that community service isn't just for "nerds" - its for everyone. Saginaw Community Foundation The Saginaw Community Foundation has played a leadership role in a Carousel project that has brought community members form all walks of life together to create a handcarved, 32-foot carousel. Since late 1996, community members have contributed their time, money and talent to the creation of a work of art that will benefit Saginaw County residents and visitors for generations to come. The $750,000 project was completed in July of this year, and is operating at the local zoo. Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan In 1997, the Foundation began planning for the Southeastern Michigan Community Partnership for Cultural Participation. Through the planning process, representatives from hundreds of arts, cultural and community-based organizations convened to develop a plan to increase participation in cultural programs. Sturgis Foundation The Sturgis Foundation has helped the Camp Fort Hill trustees in their effort to rejuvenate their camp (see Youth Grants). We hold their endowment fund as well as their principal and income fund. Without the Sturgis Foundation, the group may not have been as successful with their fundraising efforts. 42 �Section III Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Update WKKFIMCFYP Challenge Grant Update ...................................................... .43 Y AC Best Practices .......................................................................................... 46 MCFYP Board of Trustees .............................................................................. 47 State Youth Board ............... .................. ........................................................... 47 Total Amount ofYAC Grants (graph) ........................................................... .48 Total Number ofYAC Grants (graph) ............................................................. 49 Number ofYACs Making Grants (graph) ....................................................... 50 YAC Grant Summary .....................................................................................51 Proactive and Creative Grants Made by Youth Advisory Committees ........................................................... 53 Council ofMichigan Foundations ............................................................................. ,58 - �WKKF I MCFYP CHALLENGE GRANTS Totals by Community Foundation as of October 1998 43 �WKKF I MCFYP CHALLENGE GRANTS Totals by Community Foundation as of October 1998 (continued) ,*Horner Area Conmmnlty Foundation :*:Hudsonville toli111iunlty Foundation 44 --- ---------- �WKKF I MCFYP CHALLENGE GRANTS Totals by Community Foundation as of October 1998 (continued) ....... $50,000:····· $45,950,000 TOTALS Bold indicates approval for full $1 million challenge.

It is helpful to review these annually as part of a self-audit process. The role of the YAC is to recommend grants from a permanent Youth Fund after assessing local youth needs, be involved in fund development, and support systems for involving youth in philanthropy. 1. The YAC is adopted by the Board as one of the permanent standing committees of the community foundation. 2. The YAC meets a minimum of six times a year. 3. YAC membership of at least 7 youth is representative of the youth community. 4. A trained adult advisor works with the YAC. 5. There is an annual orientation process for new YAC members. 6. As the basis for grantmaking, the YAC collects information, at least every three years, about the assets and needs related to youth in its community. 7. YAC members are provided opportunities to be involved in fund development. Helping to ensure the continued growth of the youth fund, emphasis should be placed on donor calls and community presentations, based on local youth issues and concerns, rather than "fund raising" activities. 8. The YAC completes an annual proactive grantmaking process, that involves and builds the capacity of youth as resources and decision makers in their communities, and results in the recommendation of grants to the community foundation Board. 9. YAC members should participate in available leadership training opportunities. 10. A process to evaluate its activities, including the effectiveness of grants. 11. YAC members have an opportunity to meet annually with members of the Board of Trustees of the community foundation. When appropriate, Y AC members may attend board meetings, participate in an annual meeting, or join in special events that provide opportunities for sharing with the Board. 12. Grantmaking by the YAC is featured in annual reports, newsletters, public presentations, and other communications tools. This communicates to the wider public the importance of the Y AC and youth involvement as community problem-solvers. 13. The community foundation may support a project funded by the YAC with income from a different endowment fund. The community foundation board may jointly fund a project with the YAC. 14. The YAC may review youth-related proposals that are submitted to the community foundation atlarge. As experienced grantmakers, Y AC members can provide valuable insights into the value of projects serving youth. 46 -- ------ �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project BOARD OF TRUSTEES Patricia B.

This was an opportunity for cultural enrichment as well as the spreading of good will. Allegan County Community Foundation $16,000 was granted to Wings of Hope Hospice to provide loss and grief education to all Allegan middle and high schools. Subject matter deals not only with loss through death, but loss of innocence, childhood and other forms of loss. This was the largest single grant to date and impacted the entire county. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation A grant to Ann Arbor Public Schools Educational Foundation for the newly incorporated Ann Arbor Teen Center provided start-up funds for rent, staffing and/or furniture for a Teen Center. The grant represented the first funding for a community-wide project that had been on the Youth Council' s agenda for over 3 years. The grant resulted in the opening of the Teen Center six months later with leased space, staff, adult and youth boards, weekday and weekend programs, and an operating budget of $200,000. Bay Area Community Foundation The Youth Initiative has granted $50,000 to build a Civic Arena/Ice Arena. We actually awarded an additional $5,000 to start their endowment fund, which the YI implements. The endowment fund is used for purchasing ice time for youth who could not otherwise afford it. Berrien Community Foundation There are several grants that made an impact in the community in which the program was initiated: 1) Eau Clair Actitity League grant launched a new program to give kids in that small community some recreational activities; (2) Lakeshore Key Club was able to launch a new mentorship program between high school students and elementary students; and (3) Strength Through Art -Youth Mural project made a big impact on a small number of students in the Benton Harbor area, since they were able to work with a professional artist on a public work of art that it views as an asset by the community. Cadillac Area Community Foundation A grant to our new Youth All-Sports complex. 53 �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Capital Region Community Foundation In 1997, the YAC funded far-reaching programs - from reading and educational travel, to crisis centers and aid to teenage mothers. One grant, however, stands out. It was made to other teens who directed, performed, and organized five plays presented, ultimately, to the community atlarge. The youthful participants ofthe All-ofUs Express Theater, learned organizational skills enhanced personal self-esteem, successfully juggled multiple responsibilities, and participated in hands-on experience. The experience was more than a performance or two, it was an exploration and discovery of their personal best. Charlevoix County Community Foundation The Charlevoix County Friend of the Court will assign a social worker from their staffto work with school personnel to assist families who are mutually served by both organizations. Studies have demonstrated that conflict among divorced or separated parents has serious adverse effects on children's academic performance, psychological development, self-esteem, peer relationships and social skills. The objective of the proposed project is to help parents minimize the impact of the divorce on children by teaching parents how to deal constructively with conflict and increasing non-custodial parents' involvement in their children's school program. Four County Community Foundation The YAC awarded funds for a youth to attend I:_ine Arts Camp. This youth would otherwise not have had the resources to attend the camp. She was able to improve her musical technique and meet other students from all over the world. The Fremont Area Foundation The Newaygo County Youth Initiative (NCYI) awarded pro-active grants to five school districts for the formation of Youth to Youth Mentoring Programs or for the enhancement of similar existing programs. The NCYI facilitated the program's creation by convening area youth who developed a program outline for the schools to adopt. The Grand Rapids Foundation A grant to Dispute Resolution Center provided summer jobs and conflict resolution training to 81 teens who assisted with playground supervision and used their conflict resolution training skills at 21local parks in Grand Rapids. The project also involved six neighborhood associations. Gratiot County Community Foundation TheYAC granted money to Alma College's host committee for the AIDS Memorial Quilt display. This definitely had an impact on everyone who viewed the quilt, particularly young people. Greenville Area Foundation A grant to the Danish Kingdom to cover publicity and costs for the company to come to Greenville to design the playscape. 54 �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Hillsdale County Community Foundation In 1997, YOUTH joined forces with General Endowment fund to challenge the community to a $25,000 match to complete the required fund raising for the initial phase of"Fields of Dreams". This was a community effort to develop some land in Hillsdale for sports and recreation activities. The total estimates for the first phase of Field of Dreams was $325,000 and the efforts involved large segments of the population. YOUTH's challenge led the Field Committee to involve many youth volunteers in the project as well. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area A grant to the American Red Cross of Ottawa County for a collaborative effort with Holland Hospital for an HIVI AIDS peer education program. Young people from high schools, including one of our own Y AC members, were part of the peer teams. The program was exceptional! The Jackson Community Foundation In 1997, the Yes for Youth Advisory Committee awarded a grant to the Jackson Area Dental Clinic for the purpose of modernizing the clinic and increasing productivity. The Clinic was established in 1972 for the purpose of providing dental care for children from low-income families. The grant allowed the Clinic to increase productivity by purchasing their fourth dental chair for operative procedures, allowing them to make use of their present staff. New cabinets were also purchased which improved the Clinic's appearance and has made the children they serve less apprehensive and more comfortable while at the same time making the facility sufficiently attractive to continue to attract high quality professional staff. Kalamazoo Foundation A grant to Michigan Association for Children with Emotional Disorders received a grant to support a group of emotionally impaired adolescents in their efforts to learn self-advocacy skills. Youth United Way members were particularly impressed with this group's commitment to increasing community knowledge about the barriers faced by kids with emotional disorders as well as providing support for kids who face tough challenges within their schools and community environments. Marquette Community Foundation To Graveraet Middle School with a matching grant from the Marquette Public Schools Education Foundation. This collaborative grant enabled sixth grade students to produce a video project on Marquette's architecture and people. Students participated in all phases of video production, researched architecture, interviewed community members and produced an awardwinning 2-video series that is now being used by teachers district-wide for education. Marshall Community Foundation The grant supporting a Violence Prevention Workshop for county YACers had the most impact. From this workshop county Y AC service projects were born as well as Y AC to elementary students education projects to promote understanding among and acceptance of people different from themselves. 55 �. ······-·-····-·--------- - -- ··--·-----·-- --···· ·-··· .. . - - -- ·-··--- - ---- -- -- Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.) Michigan Gateway Community Foundation In rural communities, kids in trouble cannot easily seek the "time out" shelters they and their families often need. Also, if they pa..'iicipate in residential programs, rural families are lacking follow-up support because of the distances separating them from counseling. This YAC grant to The LINK crisis intervention center provides funding for outreach services that take these services into the homes oftheir clients. Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation A grant to the Mt. Pleasant Public School Band. They traveled to Oklahoma City where they participated in a memorial ceremony for victims of the Federal Building bombing. They offered sympathy and concern for the victims and their families from the people ofMt. Pleasant. Community Foundation for Muskegon County Our YAC started a new teacher minigrant program in 1997. Muskegon County teachers were invited to apply for minigrant funding of up to $250 per classroom to try out new ideas or purchase the extras needed for an already great lesson plan or project. Over 100 proposals were received ranging from requests for special equipment in a high school science class to a new computer program to help kindergartners learn to read. In the end, 52 classroom teachers received almost $12,000 in total funding to support their classroom projects. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan The YAC gave a grant to the Sanborn Township Kids Care Shin-ga-ba Shores playground area. Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation A grant to the MERIT program.

The program targets girls in 6th through 1oth grades to help them make good choices about sexual responsibility later in their teen years. This program stresses the fact that everyone need to make conscious decisions about many things in life and all decisions have consequences. Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation Our YAC collaborated with the American Association ofUniversity Women on a workshop for middle school girls exploring careers in math, science, and technology. "Spring into Math, Science and Technology" encouraged young women to consider different career choices by presenting hands-on sessions with women scientists in varying fields. Some of the presenters included a NASA engineer, a veterinarian and a computer scientist. Saginaw Community Foundation A typical example is a grant our YAV provided to the Salvation Army to provide scholarships for low-income kids to attend the Army's summer day camp. The grant provided fulVpartial scholarships for many of the 75 kids, aged 7-12, to take part in the productive summertime activities. 56 �Proactive Youth Grants (con 't.)

Leadership Role in Community ....................................................................... 29 �..... ....,_, ______.. , , _________________________________ _ _ ~ Minimum Standards for Michigan Community Foundations The community foundations of Michigan recognize that we live in an age in which professions and fields of work are expected to have and to follow standards that promote both accountability and the highest ethical behavior by all parties . Recent incidents in the operations of national and regional nonprofit and philanthropic organizations have pointed out the need for standards in the nonprofit sector. In addition, advisors to the wealthy - lawyers, accountants, financial planners, etc. - who are vital partners in the continued growth of the community foundation field , are all professions with standards . Because we recognize our responsibility to our donors and our communities to have the best possible philanthropic organizations to respond to the wishes of donors and the needs of communities, the community foundations of Michigan have developed minimum standards for our field in Michigan. We believe that the following minimum standards will help assure donors and their advisors of consistent performance in the operations of all community foundations in Michigan and contribute to the success of any joint marketing and donor development efforts - both statewide and regionally. These minimum standards are proposed in addition to the requirements of state and federal law and are supported by the Community Foundations Principles and Best Practices adopted by the Community Foundations Committee of the Council of Michigan Foundations . In addition they have been designed to complement the development of national standards by the Community Foundations Leadership Team of the Council on Foundations and it is the expectation that Michigan community foundations will also strive to meet national standards adopted by the Council on Foundations. Evidence of the implementation ofthese minimum standards has been adopted as a requirement for participation in Michigan Community Foundation Ventures (MCFV), a supporting organization of the Council of Michigan Foundations. The purpose of MCFV is to support special collaborative initiatives of community foundations in Michigan which will contribute to increased asset development, proactive grantmaking and community leadership. It is the hope of the Board of Trustees of MCFV that every community foundation will strive to implement these standards and seek assistance from the Council of Michigan Foundations in doing so. Community foundations with geographic affiliate funds should consult the attached document, "Subset of Minimum Standards for Michigan Community Foundations with Geographic Affiliate Funds," for the standards that apply specifically to those funds. Governance: The community foundation must: Incorporate the words "community foundation" in the organization's public name. Operate with a board approved mission statement, including language that addresses the growth of "permanent endowment" funds from a wide range of donors. Adopt conflict of interest policies for board, staff and volunteers that cover all aspects of foundation management. Include in its bylaws and communicate to potential donors the community foundation governing body' s variance power by which it may modify any restriction or condition on the distribution of assets. 17 �Administration & Finance: The community foundation must: Develop an asset base in which the total investment return for permanently endowed funds is sufficient to support the basic operations of the foundation with: o Annual community grants (including scholarships, program related investments, special projects, etc.) exceeding administrative expenses within 5 years of the start of the Foundation. o Employment of at least one-half FTE paid staff. Operate with an asset management program that includes : o Gift acceptance policies, o Criteria for establishing funds and fund agreements, o Investment policies, including asset allocation policies and a spending policy based on no fewer than eight trailing quarters Complete an annual audit by an outside independent public accountant. Qualified opinions may be acceptable for this standard as determined on a case by case basis. Asset Development: The community foundation must: Implement a three-year asset development plan that includes planned giving and outreach to financial advisors, prospective and current donors, with progress monitored annually by the Community Foundation Board. Adopt and implement donor services guidelines and brochures (including a statement of the community foundation governing board's variance power) that are communicated to donors and publicize a statement of donor rights and responsibilities. Grantmaking: The community foundation must: Establish ongoing grantmaking guidelines, including foundation priorities, application process and reporting requirements. Convenor & Leader The community foundation must: Implement and document strategies, consistent with the community foundation's mission, to play a role as a collaborator/convenor in developing solutions to important community issues 18 �Communications The community foundation must: Practice full disclosure about the foundation's mission, activities (including grantmaking and finances) through communications tools, such as an annual report, newsletter and web site. Subset of Minimum Standards for Michigan Community Foundations with Geographic Affiliate Funds Lead community foundations are responsible for the following standards for their geographic affiliate funds. The guidelines and policies of geographic affiliate funds do not have to be uniform with the lead foundation, as long as they are approved by the lead foundation. The minimum standards for geographic affiliate funds are: Governance: All geographic affiliate fund committee members are considered volunteers of the lead foundation and shall fall under the conflict of interest policy covering all aspects of foundation management. Administration & Finance: Geographic affiliate fund(s) shall operate under the lead foundation ' s asset management program and shall abide by the lead foundation's gift acceptance policies and criteria for establishing funds and fund agreements. Asset Development: The lead foundation's three-year asset development plan shall address the asset development plan for the geographic affiliate fund(s). Geographic affiliate fund(s) shall operate under the lead foundation ' s donor service guidelines and communications with donors shall include a statement of the community foundation governing board's variance power. Grantmaking: The lead foundation's grantmaking guidelines shall address the grantmaking activities of the geographic affiliate fund( s ). Communications: The lead foundation's communication tools (such as an annual report, newsletter and web site) shall include the activities of the geographic affiliate fund(s), or the lead foundation will produce separate communications addressing the activities of the geographic affiliate fund(s). 19 �-----------------------------------------------~- Listing by Asset Size (Last Audit- December 31, 1999 unless otherwise noted) $6,367,492.00; ···S>S:22i,99s:oo i $2,449,456.001 r ---; - " $L123,813.oo ~ . $532,385.00, $1,026,485.001 · $854,27i.oo: -· · -- -- ~' - "· "'• ' '~ -- ---" ·-~~ $1,?1~,2~?·?? 1 $868,117.00! $678,491.00 $923,286.00! $658,917.00! ; $353,419.00! 2 Area Community Foundation $199,356.001 "$211,582.00] $8)75,194.oo A.iiegancounty community Founciation · ·s;s:·276,239.oo Peto.skey7I-iarbor·sr;I-1ilgsA.reac·or:nr:n:ul1iiy.Fnci.:r·· $487,587.00! 6 $7,691,266.00 Greenville Area Community Foundation S>27i,443.ooi -------· ·····s;6:92s:2os:oofFalii- county cor:nll1u~;·ityFoli11ciat{ol1 . $248,928.00; · $6,777,7oo.oo:chai-levoiX. county community Foundation • $756,35o.66i S>6;27o;944-~oo [ I-IllTsciaie. c0liiliy c:c;m.:n1uili.ty.Foliilciaiior? ··· ·· · · ·· ··· · · · $T68,456.oo $4,854,272.oo!Mlchigan Gateway community Foliilciati()il2 · · · s;·2as,T9:foa·! · S>4-:s26;667: oo !

(These grants are updated in the Fall of each year. Grant information for 2000 will be available in November of2001.) Allegan County Community Foundation Two grants have had a significant impact upon the community. One was a grant to purchase a computer for each of twelve Allegan County libraries for community use. The second grant funded for a shelter to provide in-house counseling for survivors of domestic violence. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County received a grant for their Money Management Payeeship Program to set up a money management payee for the persistently homeless who are on SSI or SSDI, in order to move them into long-term housing and free up beds for emergency overnight shelter. Another grant was to the Washtenaw Intermediate School District's School to Youth Learningfor Unserved Students and Education Project for Homeless Youth in order to hire a volunteer coordinator to be shared by the STYLUS and EPHY programs in an effort to provide services to a larger number of students. Barry Community Foundation See Proactive Youth Grants. Bay Area Community Foundation Twenty students from the alternative high school attended art classes at a new local facility, Studio 23. They were bussed 3 days a week to participate in classed for working in clay. Art is a perfect conduit for these young people because it takes discipline plus creativity. It provided a vehicle for expressing their emotions. Berrien Community Foundation Capstone Center received a grant to support the Zero to Three, a child abuse prevention program. The family of each child born in Berrien County is assessed for risk factors of child abuse. Depending on the outcome, assistance in the form of parenting training and in-home mentoring is provided. A grant to Bark River Harris High School for band uniforms also had a big impact. The band had never had uniforms before and it has instilled a sense or purpose and pride in those young people. Cadillac Area Community Foundation Funded a Greenway Project along the Clam River. Charlevoix County Community Foundation The City of East Jordan was awarded a grant from the Michigan Clean Initiative Bond Fund to develop a 40-acre parcel of wooded property into a major, multi-use recreational facility. The Community Foundation provided a grant to the City for a significant portion of the local match that was necessary to secure the award from the State. In addition, the Foundation helped leverage widespread financial support from other local organizations. Name "Community Park", the new facility will have outdoor, year-round activity areas. 24 �Community Foundation for Delta County The Downtown Development Authority-Historical Mural Project has added beauty of art to downtown Escanaba. It has added history and education to the downtown area, and displays the pride of our heritage to citizens and visitors of our community. Four County Community Foundation Two grants for the Romeo Community Schools-Enterprise High School had come under this category. The first, for a Transitions Program, provides tools for students to enter school after official start dates. The second, Building Futures, is an on-site nursery for students of Enterprise High. Grant funds were used to purchase equipment and provide students with parenting support. Community Foundation of Greater Flint Summer youth grants provide positive experiences for thousands of youth, while Block and Neighborhood grants develop social capital in the community. A grant to UM-Flint Reading Center supports literacy development. Fremont Area Community Foundation A grant to Brooks Township for their environmental conservation plan. This strategic model includes the community and has been a great success, particularly regarding the Muskegon River Watershed. This grant is on of the first forays into environmental grantmaking for the Foundation. Also, a grant for construction and operational support for the new Arts Center for Newaygo County will have a definite impact in the future. Grand Haven Area Community Foundation An award to the North Ottawa County Community Leadership Academy to provide scholarships for qualified candidates to participate in the 1999/2000 training has had a big impact. The leadership academy prepares future leaders to serve throughout the Northwest Ottawa County region. Over 250 area leaders have graduated from the academy in its thirteen-year history. Grand Rapids Community Foundation There are three grants that have had that have had a great impact on the community. "Select Grand Rapids Employer Assisted Housing Program" is a joint effort between the area Chamber of Commerce, the City, The Right Place and a "walk to work task force", formed to work with employers who are interested in helping their employees purchase a home. "Something Fishy" is a broad-based collaborative effort in which local artists and children worked together to create fish works of art that were placed throughout the area. This project engaged citizens of all ages, ethnicities and economic backgrounds in celebrating the community, diversity and connections. The Grand Rapids Community College Technical Education Center will offer technologically advanced training, and will be located within walking distance of the lowest income neighborhoods, offering affordable and accessible training in field that command a living wage, or higher. Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation The new agency funds, some started with grants from other funds, could double their spendable income and have a long-term impact. In the short-term, the Foundation supports dental services to youth, prescriptions for seniors and family practice education. 25 �- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- - -------- Gratiot County Community Foundation Ashley, a small community in our county, received a grant to help fund the Character Counts program. Though the grant targeted students in grades 7-12, the whole community participated in the program. It was gratifying to see a program for kids that was supported by the entire community. The six pillars of good character are known and understood by students, parents, grandparents and townspeople. From our Children's Fund, an award was divided among 7 elementary schools to buy items that are basic humanitarian needs for children who are not having these needs met otherwise. The intent is that children learn better when their needs are being met, and the schools were thrilled to have funds which would allow them to provide for their students. Hillsdale County Community Foundation In 1998, the Foundation recruited a volunteer director to organize a Volunteer Center and made a grant for start-up expenses, with additional funding in 1999. The Volunteer Center is now almost self-sufficient and is helping to locate volunteers and resources for area nonprofits. This project has been a proactive effort to start and help a new nonprofit agency reach self-sufficiency. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area Three grants had a great impact on the community and were all part of collaborative projects. The first was to Macatawa Resource Center for a food pantry and human services organization under one roof. The second grant was to Zeeland Wetland Pavilion for a pavilion area and greenspace environment to be used by area schools and communities. The third grant was to Communities That Care Youth Conference which involved Y AE:e-rs to address needs and issues of youth under age 21. Huron County Community Foundation An important grant to our community was to the Sebewaing Recreation Club to help construct a playscape. This project was completed through the efforts of over 200 local citizen volunteers in the town of Sebewaing. Jackson Community Foundation As part of its commitment to Jackson County's Promise to Youth, The Jackson County Community Foundation will award a total of$325,000 from the Jackson County ISD over the next four years to support The Early Literacy in Jackson County Program. The Community Foundation will invest $100,000 in year one and $75,000 per year for the following three years. Kalamazoo Community Foundation A few of the grants that had an impact on the community include the Ministry with Community Award to the only daytime homeless shelter in the community. The grant is for capital expenses that will include building improvements and facility expansion. The Local Initiatives Support Coalition received a grant for Northside economic development activities, and the Kalamazoo Neighborhood Housing Services was given a grant to cover a portion of the direct project expenses for Building Blocks, a coalition of community agencies, institutions and citizens working together to revitalize neighborhoods. 26 �Mackinac Island Community Foundation Several grants have had an impact on the uniqueness of Island living. The Mackinac Island Housing Corporation was set up to construct affordable housing for year-round residents of Mackinac. The Community Foundation awarded a grant to the Housing Corporation for the completion of the first set of homes. The Foundation also awarded a grant to a local group to conduct English as a Second Language Classes throughout the summer for workers who come from all over the world to support the Island's tourist industry. In addition, two grants from environmental funds were awarded to help protect the Island. Manistee County Community Foundation The Foundation worked with the public radio station in developing five 10-minute segments that highlighted community services and collaborations in the county. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation This was the second year in a three-year initiative to bring emergency preparedness to the Buchanan community through the public safety mission of the Unity Hospital Fund. This year the plan included the purchase of three defibrillators and officer training for each local police car to give immediate assistance, and the purchase of a new Jaws of Life for a local fire department to more successfully extricate accident victims. Next year, computer community mapping for emergency services and hazardous materials identification will be addressed. Midland Area Community Foundation There were two projects with which the Foundation participated which had a significant impact on the community. First was the Central Auditorium "Restore the Dream" project. An art deco auditorium was restored and rededicated and is now used by all students within the Midland Public Schools as well as a number of community groups and nonprofit organizations. The second project was Trilogy Skate Park. It is the most highly used park in Midland and provides a safe haven for skateboard and inline skating enthusiasts, and is a model that is being replicated around the state and the nation. Community Foundation of Monroe County The most significant grant was to support the furnishing of a new library branch. The renovation of the library was broadly supported by the community, and the grant was significant because it came from four different funds and encouraged local co-action. Community Foundation for Muskegon County In 1999, the Foundation gave a $1.1 million grant to Grand Valley State University to support the Lake Michigan Center for Freshwater Research on the Muskegon Shoreline. The Lake Michigan Center will house classroom, laboratory, office and conference facilities. It will also be the permanent home of the WG. Jackson, GVSU's research vessel. GVSU's goal is to create a scientific research center on a par with Woods Hold and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the premier research facilities on the United States' east and west coasts. 27 �Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan A grant to Hospice of Michigan for their Telehospice Program has had, and will continue to have, great impact. The project will study the use of interactive video technology as part of the care program. Hospice teams will be able to consult with families face-to-face, assess the situation and respond more quickly than if they had to drive to the location. ~I Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation A grant to the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council provided funding for the initial stages of "Healing the Bear", a Bear River rehabilitation program. A grant to the Emmet Hockey Association helped to establish an indoor ice hockey arena for the Emmet County area. Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Two great initiatives illustrate our commitment to donor services. The John Elliott Fund was established by Mr. Elliott to support a local 24-hour cancer hotline so that patients do not feel so frightened and isolated. Mr. Wallace, a quadriplegic, established a fund to aid research in spinal cord injuries. Both funds address the donors' charitable goals and impact our community and beyond. Sault Area Community Foundation The grant given to the Munuscong River Watershed Project to increase environmental and outdoor learning experiences in our community schoots had the most impact. We were also able to leverage this grant with funds from the Michigan Community Service Commission Learn and Serve grant. Students and adults alike participated in water quality testing and clean-up of sites along the river. Sturgis Area Community Foundation Grants for local initiatives to combat drug and alcohol abuse in our community had a great impact, as did a grant to help fund a new organization to help integrate our growing and diverse population and an award to support the revitalization of deteriorating homes and neighborhoods. 28 �Leadership Role of Community Foundations The following are summaries of 1999 leadership activities submitted by Community Foundations. Allegan County Community Foundation The implementation of an education program for middle school students on issues impacting their lives-substance use, pregnancy, self-esteem building, etc. is one of our convening roles. Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation The Foundation has served as a member and then Chair of the Washtenaw County Continuum of Care Board. Barry Community Foundation The Foundation applied for and received a grant from the Coalition of Community Foundations for Youth. The purpose of the grant is to perform a needs assessment/asset map of the Youth Programs and services for Barry County. We have involved businesses, nonprofits, religious organizations and the youth community in this project and know that we will be able to create a plan to make a difference in the way youth programs are viewed and created. Bay Area Community Foundation Our Environment Committee convened many partners and leveraged funding to develop Measures of Success, a process for getting the Saginaw Bay Watershed unlisted as an environmental Area of Concern. Grants from several funders were pursued by the Foundation. While the Foundation itself did not fund this project, it brought together the financial resources that were needed. Cadillac Area Community Foundation Worked with organizers of the Greenway Project to assist development and funding . Charlevoix County Community Foundation Two cities in our county were awarded grants from an out-of-state foundation for building and upgrading library facilities complete with all technological enhancements. The Foundation served as the local conduit through vyhich all funds were routed to pay construction vendors and provide accounting for the project. Community Foundation of Delta County One impact has been taking a lead role in bringing together a business/industry/educational group called the Delta County Partners in Education. The purpose is to build bridges between Partners and the Community and to provide strong, general support to the education process involving the youth of Delta County. Dickinson County Community Foundation The Foundation has played a significant role in the development and expansion of the Dickinson County Resource Center, of which we have been fiduciary for the past 3 years. In addition, the YAC has not only grown in membership but has gained recognition and visibility in the community through their grantmaking and community involvement. 29 �Community Foundation of Greater Flint Leadership roles included convening the community to develop strategies to address and reduce racism, and helping to convene and participate in initial planning around strategies to improve public education. Four County Community Foundation Our new Healthy Seniors/Healthy Youth Fund has prompted us to create a Senior Citizen Information Group which is meeting twice a year to exchange ideas, area needs and interest in collaborative efforts. Fremont Area Community Foundation The Foundation was instrumental in bringing communities together to develop after-school programs in each of the five school districts in Newaygo County. The programs provide tutoring as well as emichment programs for students. Parents and community members volunteer in the programs. In addition, in 1998 the Foundation established an endowment for each nonprofit in the county. We continue to provide technical assistance for these organizations and late in 1999 began a series of programs covering topics such as fundraising and board development, through satellite downlinks at our offices. Grand Haven Area Community Foundation The grant mentioned in previous section, as well as other grants made by the Foundation, attest to its position in taking a leadership role in our community by acting as a convener for community discussions, a catalyst for needed change and developing community leaders. Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation The Foundation has played a leadership role in working with the Chamber of Commerce and area communities on environmental and land use issues; developing positive youth assets, which are established in cultural and recreational areas; and developing resources for nonprofit fund raising education. Gratiot County Community Foundation Our Foundation is highly involved in Community Planning for the Future. The Executive Director and many Foundation Board members play an active role in the Gratiot County Strategic Plan committee. This is a very active and encompassing group, which for several years has studied the needs of our county and has established countywide goals to meet those needs. The committee is also instrumental in instituting the plan to allow those things to happen. Developing Community Leaders is another program. It is amazing that a county of under 40,000 people can have 125 youth who take part in YAC activities. Hillsdale County Community Foundation The Foundation is taking a leadership role in spearheading a drive to raise $1.7 million to purchase and renovate a 23,000 square foot office building, which will be used by our major nonprofit organizations. 30 �Huron County Community Foundation Two trustees and the Executive Director of the Foundation Board took an active role as members of the Huron County Multi-Purpose Collaborative Body in the project development of a Rural Health Initiative Grant the Huron County received from the Michigan Department of Community Health. This is a fifteen-month grant that addresses substance abuses and low-income farm families to increase their health through increased participation in county human services. Jackson Community Foundation The Foundation played a leadership role in several areas. One was to lead the community-wide Jackson County's Promise to Youth Initiative. Retired General Colin Powell was brought to town to help kick off the effort. In addition, the Foundation led the effort to explore neighborhood revitalization by leveraging home ownership-based on the Neighborhoods, Inc. model in Battle Creek. Kalamazoo Community Foundation The Kalamazoo Community Foundation launched an extensive planning process to reassess our CLL priorities. Working with our community partners in the nonprofit sector, government and neighborhood, we identified Individuals and Families, Education and Learning, Economic Development, Community Engagement and Youth Development as priorities for the community. As a result of our realignment of priorities we hosted a community 1st Annual Meeting with 750 people in attendance to explore social capital. Social capital is defined as the features of social organization that facilitate coordination and cooperation for mutual benefit. - Leelanau Township Foundation The Foundation is presently working to get affordable housing in this high property tax area. Local families , which grow up here, cannot afford to stay due to high property values. We would like to find a way to keep our young families here. Mackinac Island Community Foundation Mackinac Island has unique problems associated with island living, including sustaining a viable, year-round community. As the year-round population declines, it becomes more difficult to support a school, churches, etc. Next to the lack of affordable housing, the most common reason that young families cite for leaving the Island is lack of childcare. With our advisory committee for Healthy Youth and Seniors, the Foundation has taken a leadership role in developing a child care facility on the Island. It is hoped that providing access to such care will eliminate one obstacle to daily life on the Island. Marshall Community Foundation The Foundation continually promotes caring for the community. We are dedicated to serving the community, and we are proud of the role we have played in making the quality oflife in and around Marshall even better. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation As the result of an incentive built into a new fund for the Buchanan Public Library, the Foundation served as an initiator and hub for meetings and services to explore the issue of developing a district library to serve contiguous communities identified by the school district. As a result of this initiative, and through the vision and determination of the Foundation's Chair, the library has been identified as a district library and a milage election will be set to purchase a building and make the library an independent entity better able to offer modern patron services. 31 �Midland Area Community Foundation The Foundation led the County in community planning for the future. Through the use of interviews with community leaders, focus groups, a newspaper survey, and a random sample telephone survey we determined what residents feel are our assets, liabilities and needs for the future. Other area foundations, governmental units and nonprofit organizations are also using the compiled data. Through the Foundation's newsletter, we are continuing to update the community regarding progress in certain areas, and we will be using the data to develop a moreproactive grantmaking process. Community Foundation of Monroe County In the late summer of 1999, a builder, excavating a building site, uncovered an historical cemetery. The Trustees of the Foundation stepped in to mediate the ensuing furor, and successfully persuades all parties to lay aside the question of blame and work toward a resolution. The Foundation then convened a public meeting to form a grass roots committee to investigate and recommend a solution. Thousands of hours of time were donated in order to determine the perimeter of the cemetery, and three lots were bought back from the builder to preserve the site. The Special Projects Fund for the Friends of St. Antoine has been established in the Foundation. A memorial was dedicated on November 28, 2000. Community Foundation for Muskegon County The Foundation continued its involvement with the Great Lakes Environmental Collaborative to build on earlier efforts to expand the role of community foundations in promoting community capacity to address environmental issues. Pha~e II ofthe Collaborative included assistance and incentives for environmental organizations to establish an organizational endowment fund within the Community Foundation. Four new funds were established, each with a matching grant from the Great Lakes Environmental Collaborative. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan We are becoming known as "the" organization in Northeast Michigan to bring interested parties together on community issues, through our Community Leaders Luncheons and Community Forums on environmental issues. Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation We co-chaired Leadership Little Traverse, a leadership training program to inspire participation in community leadership roles. We also acted as a conduit for donors to purchase valuable property and develop it into a community park. The land was eventually gifted to the city to hold/own. Community Foundation for Greater Rochester The Foundation is providing technical support to nonprofits through several different community projects. We have acted as the fiscal agent and convener for two public park projects; assisted Dinosaur Hill Nature Center in fundraising activities and fund distribution; partnered with the City of Rochester Hills and residents of southeastern Michigan for the Mike Walden Velodrome; and, in the winter of 2000, began working with the Rochester Hills Museum on a capital campaign. The Foundation has become a logical choice for community development and technical assistance to nonprofits based on years of successful partnerships. 32 �Sault Area Community Foundation We have leveraged funds to meet community needs. With our grant to a local playground project other community members were inspired to donate funds. We also provided financial management for the project at no charge to the community. Our involvement in this project has not only been good for the community but also for the Foundation, as it has led to a new endowed fund. The project was a true reflection of community leadership. Sturgis Area Community Foundation One of our leadership roles has been undertaking the construction project for a 20-acre youth soccer park in the city. Upper Peninsula Community Foundation Alliance In the Les Cheneaux community (Cedarville), our affiliate has been the catalyst in the creation of a community library and cultural center. 33 �I Section III: Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Update Youth WOKO Kellogg Challenge Grant Totalsoooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo35 YAC Best Practicesoooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo38 Total Amount ofYAC Grants (graph) Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo o39 Total Number of YAC Grants (grap~) oooooooooooooooo oooo oooooooooooooooo oooooooo oooooooooooooo oo.40 Number ofYACs Making Grants (graph) oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo.41 YAC Grant Summary 0000000 000 00 0000000 0000000 000 00 00 00 000 000 0000000000 0000 000 000 00000 00000000 00000000 00 042 - Proactive and Creative Grants Made by Youth Advisory Committees 000000 000000 000000 00 oo 000 000000 0000 00000 00 0000 0000000 000 00.45 �-----------------------------·~----~ --- - - ---- - - - - - --- ---- - WKKF CHALLENGE GRANT TOTALS 1989-2000 Community Foundation Approved Grant Amount Total Grants Paid Albion Community Foundation $187,500.00 $187,500.00 Alger Regional Community Foundation $120,000.00 $119,590 .00 Allegan County Community Foundation $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 $60,000.00 $60,000 .00 $176,050.00 $170,550.00 Barry Community Foundation $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Bay Area Community Foundation $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Bedford Fund $123,704.00 $123,704.00 Berrien Community Foundation, Inc. $750,000.00 $750,000.00 Branch County Community Foundation $950,000.00 $938,665.00 Cadillac Area Community Foundation $979,109.00 $904,451 .00 Capital Region Community Foundation $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Charlevoix County Community Foundation $1 ,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 $50,000.00 $46,584.00 Clio Fund $140,000.00 $140,000.00 Community Foundation for Delta County $421,922 .00 $421,922.00 Community Foundation for Mason County $275,000.00 $275,000.00 Community Foundation for Muskegon County $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Community Foundation for Northeast MI $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 $465,000.00 $465,000.00 Community Foundation for Southeastern MI $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Community Foundation of Greater Flint $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 $240,000.00 $240,000.00 $2,000,000.00 $2,000,000.00 Community Foundation of Monroe County $179,799 .00 $179,799.00 Community Foundation of St. Clair County $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Community Heritage Foundation of Eaton Rapids $25,000.00 $25,000.00 Constantine Area Community Foundation $50,000.00 $50,000.00 Coopersville Area Foundation $200,000.00 $200,000.00 Dickinson County Area Community Foundation $500,000.00 $500,000.00 $50,000.00 $50,000.00 Fenton Fund $213,489.00 $213,489.00 Forest Park Area Community Fund $339,343.00 $317,343.00 Four County Community Foundation $491,300.00 $491,300.00 Athens Community Foundation Baraga County Community Foundation Clare County Community Foundation Community Foundation for Oceana County Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Community Foundation of Holland/Zeeland Area Eaton County Community Fund �Community Foundation Fremont Area Community Foundation Approved Grant Amount Total Grants Paid $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 $150,500.00 $150,500.00 Grand Haven Area Community Foundation $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Grand Rapids Community Foundation $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation $2,000,000.00 $2,000,000.00 $350,000.00 $350,000.00 $75,000.00 $75,000.00 Greater South Haven Area Community Fund $100,000.00 $100,000.00 Greenville Area Community Foundation $967,662.00 $967,662.00 $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Homer Area Community Foundation $262,500.00 $262,500.00 Hudsonville Community Foundation $22,500.00 $22,500.00 Huron County Community Foundation $200,000.00 $200,000.00 Ionia County Community Foundation $13 5,000.00 $135,000.00 Kalamazoo Community Foundation $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Keweenaw Community Foundation $504,535.00 $423,201.00 Lapeer County Community Fund $410,000.00 $410,000.00 Leelanau Township Foundation, Inc. $192,500.00 $192,500.00 Lenawee Community Foundation $990,525.00 $982,625 .00 Les Cheneaux Community Foundation $150,000.00 $150,000.00 M&M Area Community Foundation $627,500.00 $627,500.00 Mackinac Island Community Foundation $240,000.00 $236,349.00 Manistee County Community Foundation $37,500.00 $37,500.00 $250,000.00 $211,357.00 $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Mecosta County Community Foundation $235,000.00 $233,798.00 Michigan Gateway Community Foundation $505,000.00 $497,285.00 $1,000,000.00 $1,000,000.00 Missaukee County Community Foundation $36,098.00 $32,098.00 Mt.

It is helpful to review these annually as part of a self-audit process. The role of the YAC is to recommend grants from a permanent Youth Fund after assessing local youth needs, be involved in fund development, and support systems for involving youth in philanthropy. 1. The YAC is adopted by the Board as one of the permanent standing committees of the community foundation. 2. TheY AC meets a minimum of six times a year. 3. YAC membership of at least 7 youth is representative ofthe youth community. 4. A trained adult advisor works with the YAC. 5. There is an annual orientation process for new YAC members. 6. As the basis for grantmaking, the YAC collects information, at least every three years, about the assets and needs related to youth in its community. 7. YAC members are provided opportunities to be involved in fund development. Helping to ensure the continued growth of the youth fund, emphasis should be placed on donor calls and community presentations, based on local youth issues and concerns, rather than "fund raising" activities. 8. TheY AC completes an annual proactive grantmaking process, that involves and builds the capacity of youth as resources and decision makers in their communities, and results in the recommendation of grants to the community foundation Board. 9. Y AC members should participate in available leadership training opportunities. 10. A process to evaluate its activities, including the effectiveness of grants. 11. Y AC members have an opportunity to meet annually with members of the Board of Trustees of the community foundation. When appropriate, Y AC members may attend board meetings, participate in an annual meeting, or join in special events that provide opportunities for sharing with the Board. 12. Grantmaking by the YAC is featured in annual reports, newsletters, public presentations, and other communications tools. This communicates to the wider public the importance of the YAC and youth involvement as community problem-solvers. 13. The community foundation may support a project funded by the YAC with income from a different endowment fund. The community foundation board may jointly fund a project with the YAC. 14. The YAC may review youth-related proposals that are submitted to the community foundation atlarge. As experienced grantmakers, Y AC members can provide valuable insights into the value of projects serving youth. 38 - J �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Advisory Committee (YACs) Making Grants 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 1989 1990 1991 1993 1992 1989 Number 2 1994 1995 1996 August 2000 79 1997 1998 1999 Aug-00 �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Advisory Committees Total Number of Grants Made 4500 4000 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 Cummulative 500 0 0 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 Number of Grants 1988 Cumulative 3 1995 1996 Aug. 2000 424 1997 1998 Cumulative 4,478 1999 Aug. 2000 �Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Advisory Committees Total Amount of Grants Paid $9,000,000 $8,000,000 $7,000,000 $6,000,000 $5,000,000 $4,000,000 $3,000,000 $2,000,000 $1,000,000 $0 1989 Amount 1990 1991 1992 1989 $19,203 1993 1994 1995 1996 Aug. 2000 $777,697 1997 1998 1999 Aug-00 Cumulative $ 8,138,669 �YAC Grant Summary 42 �Y AC Grant Summary (continued) 43 �YAC Grant Summary (continued) ;Shiawassee Community Foundation Sparta Community Foundation St. Ignace Area Community Fund Straits Area Community Foundation Sturgis Area Community Foundation -· The Battle Creek Community Foundation •••~•.<·~o·.vo ·.·---~ ~-----~._ . ._,, __ ~ -~ -- •·~ Oo•- -AO -~~ -V~.'- ' '"m •.••w- '0 --·-·.··-··-- ·• ·~~-¥¥0'¥¥0~.¥ ·· ~-~~---~ - - --------- ,rh.e Iacksoil~c0li111"Y . coffiffil.1ilit)r~F' 0tiilctatT011 $7,515.00 ! $4,299.oo i ~-- -·-···-·· i4 ..$Ti'(926.oar-· . ........ .. . - . 66 .......................... ··········--- ~---···· $247,298.50 1 $372,590.55 i ••=»•~•~ · "V-'''-~~-·-· o-wo••-=•vv• • w ·Mvo ',_.,.V _, -~w-~·-~v o o•.w~w.v =•-••-••~=- -~- --· ov··•o 0'""-'''''~''''V··· ' '" '" '~---- ·•·• $33j56.oo: :Tuscola County Community Foundation !Wyoming Community Foundation .•v.-••--·• •-•~•--"v··-·,·.··v.· --.., ,, , • o $4,925.00 t~==~~~~-~~~~~-~!~~~- ss_::. ~~ -~E~~~~~~-~~~=-:~~~?)

First, the grant was matched 2:1 with a $50,000 gift from an individual donor. Second, the Neutral Zone was able to grow in its second year of operations as a result of theY AC grant. Third, the Neutral Zone provides a focal point for youth development and community involvement through its Youth Advisory Committee, new and ongoing programs, and mission. Barry Community Foundation The Youth Advisory Council created a mini-grant program to include and educate youth about grants. The Student Senate of3'ct, 4th and 5th graders from an area elementary school decided to take advantage of this and completed a needs assessment oftheir community (school). They found that an outdoor thermometer would help with Science classes and outdoor clocks would benefit their community. Teachers, students, and parents associated with the school learned the importance of grant writing and philanthropy. Bay Area Community Foundation A grant awarded to the Boys and Girls Club had a significant impact on our community. This grant was earmarked to help fund the construction of a Club Unit in an area that has a large number of atrisk youth, and no structure in place to provi-de- healthy, positive, and safe recreation for the youth. This was seen as a very worthwhile project in our community, and the involvement of our Youth Initiative was seen as a natural fit. Branch County Community Foundation "Bronson's Backyard" , a community-built playground and "Books for Everyone" , a program where local elementary children from low-income families, were able to visit a bookstore and choose a book to own are two examples of our proactive grantmaking. Cadillac Area Community Foundation A grant for First Night of Cadillac brought hundreds of people together for a community celebration. Charlevoix County Community Foundation The YAC has identified the scarcity of recreational activities and facilities in Northern Michigan as a priority for grant making. In the past four years, five grants have been given to the Top of Michigan Trails to help support the development of more than 180 miles of multi-use recreational trails. The main purpose is to provide area residents and visitors with safer, off-road access to many outdoor amenities. Community Foundation of Delta County The Delta County Women's Fastpitch Clinic gave importance and created an even greater interest for girls to actively participate in softball by giving equal importance to girls' softball as to boys' softball. This program is countywide and provides the opportunity for young women to participate. 45 �. ....... ··- -·-- ------ - - - -- ·--- - - ------·- - - --··---- - - - - - · - - - · - -· - .. Community Foundation of Greater Flint A grant to Area Students Against Prejudice (ASAP) for a Youth Summit to establish ASAP Clubs throughout the community is one our proactive youth grants. As a result of this summit, ASAP Clubs have been founded in each of the Flint Area Middle Schools as part of the After School Programs run by the 21 51 Century Learning Centers. Task force members also developed a curriculum for this program. Fremont Area Community Foundation One of our proactive grants was to Newaygo Public Schools for their Youth-to-Youth Mentoring program, which provides funds for high school students to tutor and mentor elementary school students. This program has improved the self-esteem of both high school and elementary school students. Grand Rapids Community Foundation Members of a sixth-grade service learning class at Cedar Springs Middle School missed a school dance, but they earned $7,000 toward a program that will provide themselves and their classmates after-school activities for years to come. Following a needs assessment of their peers, which determined that students had few opportunities for structured activities after school, they approached the Cedar Springs Parks and Recreation Department to develop a plan to respond to the issue. A grant proposal to fund the plan activities was submitted to the YAC , which approved it. Additional matching funds may be made available through Cedar Springs Community Education. Gratiot County Community Foundation Blast from the Past, Blast to the Future, a project done by a 6111 grade class and a senior citizens group, had an impact on our community because of the recognition received by the sixth grade teacher. The class was completing a Celebrate the Century project and wanted to learn firsthand about things in the 1900s. The students installed an extra phone line in the Senior Building and taught the adults about the Internet. The teacher received a state award for the project. Hillsdale County Community Foundation Probably the greatest impact on the Hillsdale County area will be the formation of a Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization. The request for this organization came from a group of very active citizens recognizing a long unmet need. Collaborative effort was developed with the public schools and the after school program "Lasting Impact". The BB/BS organization in Jackson is extending its program to embrace the Hillsdale County effort. It has the potential for serving many young people in this county for years to come. The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area A collaborative effort by area nonprofits serving human service needs. The building is on the northside of Holland that has a very diverse population and many needs were previously unmet. The facility will serve many of those needs. Jackson County Community Foundation The grant for the Asset Assessment Survey (lSD.) The Foundation's grantmaking has been driven by the results of this survey. Results were very much in line with Jackson's Promise to Youth, our YAC made a 3-year commitment to fund projects which could meet one or more of the 5 Promises, as put forth by Colin Powell. 46 �Kalamazoo Community Foundation There are so many ways to answer this one! We give grants that provide summer programs for Lakeside Residence; to the YMCA working with the Kalamazoo Juvenile Drug Court, which may have a greater long-term impact; and to the Ministry with Community, as sole supporter of a program to buy birth certificates needed for school and health care. The real answer is that theY AC fills cracks and gives crucial support in many small ways. We haven't looked to make few large impacts with dollars, preferring to fund small pockets of great need in organizations that use their money wisely. Leelanau Township Community Foundation Because 1999 was the community's sesquicentennial year, Y AC gave grants to help the celebration be a success. One was to show what youth wore in 1849, and the other grant was to help with the presentation of a local playwright on the history of the area. Mackinac Island Community Foundation Although it was not a large grant, the YAC awarded a grant to create special stuffed bears to be given to young children who need to visit the Island Medical Center. The Medical Center worked with the YAC to find the bears and create the program, and together they worked with younger children to create special tags for each bear to wear. The Medical Center received such positive feedback from the children and the parents that the program had been continued. Manistee Count)' Community Foundation Our YAC helped to sponsor Earth Save 2000, a one-day workshop for Manistee and Benzie County T" and gt" graders. The day was filled with informative and fun activities about saving the environment. Music tours, eating with completely recyclable dinnerware, youth panels and exhibits all added to the success of the conference. Michigan Gateway Community Foundation The most effective grant was a collaboration with Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Berrien and Cass Counties and the Cass County Youth Committee. It combined distribution of the YAC needs assessment with a survey for the Youth Committee asking for after-school resources offered through private, public and nonprofit services. The Youth Committee distributed the materials and BB/BS was given an administrative stipend to develop a common mailing list and a resource database. The Y AC then compiled the needs assessment information, which generated considerable interest from human service providers regarding the development of health services and drug awareness programs in schools. Midland Area Community Foundation The YAC recently initiated a minigrant program for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. It has been rewarding and fun to see these requests and grant money to fund their projects. Community Foundation of Monroe County A small grant to the 4-H Club was a good learning experience. As part of a community service project, the Club applied for a grant to help acquire new Christmas tree trimmings. The YAC didn't think it would be true community service if they paid for the entire amount, so they offered a 1:1 match. The Club worked hard to get the money and the YAC received credit for the new trimmings. 47 �Community Foundation for Muskegon County In 1999, the City of Muskegon and a group of local teens teamed together to create a skatepark in Seyferth Park in Muskegon. The City felt that it would be helpful for skateboarders to have their own park, as it would be safer for them to stay in one area and help preserve other parks. To help teens with fundraising, YAC offered a 1:1 matching grant up to $10,000. In June 1999, the park opened boasting a series of ramps, several quarter and half pipes, pyramids, etc. on which people can skateboard, bike and in-line skate. Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan The YAC recommended a grant for the Alpena Skateboard Park project, a collaborative effort. Area youth and adults worked hard to develop a safe place for skateboarders to practice their sport. This grant reinforced the positive image ofthe YAC and the Community Foundation through the collaborative aspects required for the successful completion of the project. Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation A grant to Littlefield Public Schools to provide after school activities during the summer months to middle school aged children is one example of our proactive youth grantmaking. Community Foundation of Greater Rochester In light of recent examples of violence in schools, our Youth Committeee focused on the issue of violence in a number of grants. They funded several grants that provided either peer mediation training, a teen rate workshop, or family violence prevention. All of these grants had the common element of training that was then disseminated t o other students. This training was provided to both high schools and all middle schools. Sault Area Community Foundation The grants made to the Chippewa County Health Department for bicycle helmets have made an impact on the community. The safety issues of riding bikes without helmets has been addressed and now we are seeing more youth wearing helmets because of the fun approach the program took. Wearing helmets was promoted as the cool thing to do, and parents were also given helmets so they could act as role models. Sturgis Area Community Foundation The grant with the most impact was to the Youth for Christ Center for after school programming. These programs are to give students a place to go with positive things to do, instead of nothing to do and getting into trouble. 48 �Note: Information listed in this publication was compiled from data submitted by community foundations to the Council of Michigan Foundations regarding grants funded by youth advisory committees under the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project (MCFYP). �THE COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS IS AN ASSOCIATION OF FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATIONS MAKING GRANTS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES.

Recent incidents in the operations of national and regional nonprofit and philanthropic organizations have pointed out the need for standards in the nonprofit sector. In addition, advisors to the wealthy- lawyers, accountants, financial planners, etc. -who are vital partners in the continued growth of the community foundation field, are all professions with standards. Because we recognize our responsibility to our donors and our communities to have the best possible philanthropic organizations to respond to the wishes of donors and the needs of communities, the community foundations of Michigan have developed minimum standards for our field in Michigan. We believe that the following minimum standards will help assure donors and their advisors of consistent performance in the operations of all community foundations in Michigan and contribute to the success of any joint marketing and donor development efforts -both statewide and regionally. These minimum standards are proposed in addition to the requirements of state and federal law and are supported by the Community Foundations Principles and Best Practices adopted by the Community Foundations Committee of the Council of Michigan Foundations. In addition they have been designed to complement the development of national standards by the Community Foundations Leadership Team of the Council on Foundations and it is the expectation that Michigan community found!tions will also strive to meet national standards adopted by the Council on Foundations. Evidence of the implementation of these minimum standards has been adopted as a requirement for participation in Michigan Community Foundation Ventures (MCFV), a supporting organization of the Council of Michigan Foundations. The purpose of MCFV is to support special collaborative initiatives of community foundations in Michigan which will contribute to increased asset development, proactive grantmaking and community leadership. It is the hope of the Board of Trustees of MCFV that every community foundation will strive to implement these standards and seek assistance from the Council of Michigan Foundations in doing so. Community foundations with geographic affiliate funds should consult the attached document, "Subset of Minimum Standards for Michigan Community Foundations with Geographic Affiliate Funds," for the standards that apply specifically to those funds. �Governance: The community foundation must: Incorporate the words "community foundation" in the organization's public name. Operate with a board approved mission statement, including language that addresses the growth of "permanent endowment" funds from a wide range of donors. Adopt conflict of interest policies for board, staff and volunteers that cover all aspects of foundation management. Include in its bylaws and communicate to potential donors the community foundation governing body's variance power by which it may modify any restriction or condition on the distribution of assets. Administration & Finance: The community foundation must: Develop an asset base in which the total investment return for permanently endowed funds is sufficient to support the basic operations of the foundation with: o o Annual community grants (including scholarships, program related investments, special projects, etc.) exceeding administrative expenses within 5 years of the start of the Foundation. Employment of at least one-half FTE paid staff. Operate with an asset management program that includes: o o o Gift acceptance policies, Criteria for establishing funds and fund agreements, Investment policies, including asset allocation policies and a spending policy based on no fewer than eight trailing quarters Complete an annual audit by an outside independent public accountant. Qualified opinions may be acceptable for this standard as determined on a case by case basis. �Asset Development: The community foundation must: Implement a three-year asset development plan that includes planned giving and outreach to financial advisors, prospective and current donors, with progress monitored annually by the Community Foundation Board. Adopt and implement donor services guidelines and brochures (including a statement of the community foundation governing board's variance power) that are communicated to donors and publicize a statement of donor rights and responsibilities. Grantmaking: The community foundation must: Establish ongoing grantmaking guidelines, including foundation priorities, application process and reporting requirements. Convenor & Leader The community foundation must: Implement and document strategies, consistent with the community foundation's mission, to play a role as a collaborator/convenor in developing solutions to important community issues Communications The community foundation must: Practice full disclosure about the foundation's mission, activities (including grantmaking and finances) through communications tools, such as an annual report, newsletter and web site. �- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - -- - -- -- -----·-·--·· .. - · . ...... .....

The senior center will serve all Greater Albion area residents age 50 and older, regardless of age, gender, race, religious preference, or economic status. On-site activities will be held in a 4,000 square foot facility in Albion that has been donated rent-free for the first three years of operation. The site will include a lounge area, a large multi-purpose area, an education/conference room, a health and fitness area, and a computer/ library area. Off-site activities are also being developed. Health services and education will be a top priority of the senior wellness center. The center will house a wellness clinic that will provide health screenings and education; fitness assessments will be offered, and a variety of fitness classes will be available. Several support groups will be developed to serve the area's seniors and their families and caregivers. Social programming, such as arts and crafts classes, book clubs, card clubs, and bingo, will be offered at the center as well. There will be coordination with local Albion theater and art programs to develop programming specific to the community's seniors. In addition, an intergenerational after-school program is being planned with local Albion schools. Allegan County Community Foundation Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation We had • • • • • a number of grants that supported new and impactful endeavors: Seed $ for a new geographic affiliate Money to a-new literacy program Seed $ for a new children's museum Seed$ for the new homeless initiative Money to support the new medical component of our local child abuse prevention council. Nonprofit Enterprise at Work $10,000 grant for Board Builders. This program seeks to recruit and train potential board members, engage and train nonprofits and match individuals with organizations. Nonprofits expressed the need to identify new and diverse board members and individuals willing to volunteer had no vehicle to find organizations that needed their services. Board Builders provided this important connection. In addition, both individuals and nonprofits received training on the role, responsibilities and effective engagement of board members. Ann Arbor Teen Center, Inc. $1,000 grant for the Ann Arbor Debate Team. A local high school student wanted to start a citywide debate team and approached the Teen Center. Teen Center staff encouraged the student to apply for a grant. Within the grant period, a team was formed, a coach was found, the team placed 3rd in a state competition and the local school system was convinced to support the team in the future. Demonstrating that a small grant can make a big impact. Community Foundation 2002 Annual Survey Report to the field Page4 �(Continued) Examples of high impact grants Barry Community Foundation Battle Creek Community Foundation Bay Area Community Foundation Berrien Community Foundation Cadillac Foundation Area Community 2/2002: Grant to Food Bank of SCMI - $3,000 was granted to expand the fresh food initiative to Middleville residents. The initiative previously ran in Hastings and Delton. 11/2002: A grant was given to a trust committee to fund up to $7,000 for an outside facilitator to facilitate a future search conference titled "Vision 20/20." This grant was used to develop a plan for a shared vision of what is needed to make Barry County a healthier, better place to live between now and the year 2020. Of the grants awarded, several standouts for their catalytic nature and impact. These include Project New Hope, a diabetes education program in partnership with the local hospital. Diabetes is a significant and growing issue for our community and region. Project New Hope provided coaching and counseling on diet, exercise and other wellness behaviors for the un and under-insured. Participants shared that the program was truly a lifechanging experience. As one area physician noted, the program was an excellent investment that has provided a real return in both material and human capital. Nearly $250,000 from - various funds was committed for new construction and renovation for 5 Bay County Library buildings. The Youth Initiative Fund alone underwrote the coast of a Teen Room in each of the five libraries. Lights, Camera, Community Action, a program for alternative high school students, let students engage the community through the eyes of a camera lens. Field trips and photography exposed students to businesses, parks, hospitals and many more eye-opening realities of life in our community. $34,000 - InterCar_e Community Health Network - To fund a new dental van that will provide dental services to students throughout Berrien County. $10,000 of the grant dollars went to fund the cost of visits to the dental van for low-income students who are not on Medicaid. $10,000- Berrien County Counsel for Children- To fund the Children's Needs Assessment Center where children got counseling for child abuse and if pursuing legal action are interviewed ONCE by professionals. $10,000 - Link Crisis Intervention Center - To fund HOYA (Help Out Youth Achieve) program that gives expelled students life skill training, job training and educational opportunities. Trustee Grants $4,000 was awarded, as a match to a MSHDA grant, to obtain the services of a homelessness prevention coordinator to work within the WexfordMissaukee County area. The coordinator will focus on providing life skills for people to reduce the rate of homelessness recurrence. This area has a hidden homelessness problem as was evidences by a November 2000 count which determined there were close to 200 homeless is actually much higher. These grants will allow for assistance to an estimated 60 households and more than 1,000 people. $10,000 was awarded in 2001 to the Cadillac Area Land Conservancy for the Clam River Greenway Project. The purpose of this $10,000 was to help meet the match required to capture the DNR Clean Michigan Grant of $178,000. The Foundation has been a strong supporter and sponsor of this project, and had previously donated $28,000 through various grant programs. This Greenway project includes rescuing, cleaning, and restoring the Clam River waterway throughout downtown Cadillac. This pathway connects the entire Cadillac community as it extends from downtown Cadillac to the north and east tying in Lake Cadillac, baseball fields, civic Community Foundation 2002 Annual Survey Report to the field Page5 �Community Cadillac Area Foundation (Continued) center, ice arena, the proposed Skate Park, and the new Sound Garden which is currently being built. In addition, this Greenway ties in with the statewide trail system "Rails to Trails", which extends north to the Mackinaw Bridge and south to urban metropolitan areas. Paved walkways alongside the river, decks and patios with benches make this peaceful walkway attractive to all age groups and visitors to our area. This project has pulled the community together with a common purpose as is evidenced by all of the volunteers who have donated their time and money to this project. The Greenway will be enjoyed by thousands of residents and visitors to our area.

Seed money to establish a central link for people with health and human service needs. The GRCF awarded a three-year, $120,000 grant to Home Repair Services (HRS) to prevent homelessness due to mortgage foreclosures. Home Repair Services recognized a shortage of programs aimed at supporting low-income homeowners after they purchased a home. Homeowners were often coming to HRS with a foreclosure notice at a point when losing their home was imminent. This program provides counseling, foreclosure assistance, budgeting, and financial management assistance to homeowners that are facing mortgage foreclosure. While a number of organizations provide pre-purchase counseling and assistance, HRS provides the only program in Grand Rapids targeting families facing foreclosure . Last year alone, the program provided counseling and foreclosure assistance services that prevented 69 families from losing their homes. That represents 69 homes that were not boarded and sold at auction or vacant and deteriorating. It also represents 69 families that did not experience the loss of equity, damage credit record, and the possibility of homelessness that result from foreclosure. Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation GTRCF- Otsego County Community Foundation Greenville Area Community Foundation Through this program families are able to retain what often represents the one tangible asset they own.

Three grants awarded to the community by the HCCF have had a significant effect on the outlook for Huron County. These grants reflect the YAC's and the Tobacco Advisory Committee's responsiveness to the needs of the community in administering the funds as appropriate. The Arthritis Self Help Grant to the Huron Health Department addresses the need for afflicted adults to be able to recognize and deal with the effects of arthritis in the home setting. Nurses have provided small classes with follow up for patients who require daily care but do not require hospitalization. The Thumb Industries received a grant to facilitate the older mentally challenged adult in going into the workplace for employment. This program, which focuses on mentoring through coaching, challenges the individual, and promotes self-esteem while providing the attention of a sheltered work environment. These two grants were funded through the Tobacco Settlement Funds provided to Huron County Community Foundation. Additionally, the YAC funded needed fencing for a new day care center. They discussed the need in view of the rising unemployment in the county and the likely situation of more mothers having to join the workforce. Their discussion addressed the lack of suitable day care for Huron County. The JCCF granted $75,000 to the Jackson County Intermediate school District for the Early Literacy in Jackson County initiative. The initiative's central purpose is to ensure that all Jackson County students read well and independently by the end of third grade. The lSD accomplishes this through three distinct methods that complement each other: 1) Training all Jackson County pre-school through third grad teachers in how to use the Michigan Literacy Progress Profile; 2) Training 44 teachers over four years in the "Reading Recovery" method, an approach to teaching early literacy that involves working intensively with students whose literacy skills place them at the bottom 20% of their class; and, 3) Introducing Literacy Specialists into elementary school classrooms to model best practices in literacy instruction for elementary school teachers. One of the key factors the Foundation considered in deciding to make this grant, one of the most significant in its 54-year history, was the cooperative nature of this program. Thirteen out of fourteen school districts within the lSD submitted letters of support for this program and are committing a substantial amount of their own money to support the three components. The "culture" of literacy created by this program has shaped the development of after school programming and brought the school districts into closer working relationships with human service and community based organizations. The lSD has leveraged significant funding from the State of Michigan with evidence of strong local support of their program. This early literacy program has impacted this community by increasing the effectiveness of public education, and by laying the groundwork for successful collaboration between schools, human services agencies, and community based organizations.

Three grants were made to three different rural volunteer fire departments, which totaled $6,140. One was for a thermal imaging camera, another for equipment upgrade, and a third for a cold water rescue. These might not impact large numbers of people, but they will undoubtedly save the lives of victims of various misfortunes and will enable the volunteers to work more safely than they could otherwise. Another $1,200 grant to Goodwill Industries was made for a program called Youth Choices, which targeted elementary and middle school youth, showing them the consequences of good and bad choices made by young people. It was designed to help them prepare before they are confronted with making choices about lifestyle and alternatives. The last was a $650 feel-good grant made to the Marinette Area Chamber of Commerce for an outdoor Sunset Concert series held in an island park. It was offered at no charge and was very popular with a large segment of the local population. It gave many people a chance to meet with neighbors and friends and enjoy some musical entertainment in a beautiful setting.

It was estimated that these teenagers provided the cash equivalent of over $1000,000 worth of manpower during the course of the work week. The most "impactful" grant last fiscal year was to MITECH+ for the startup and operating costs. MITECH+ was born from a community visioning process led by the Community Foundation. Through this process it was determined that more technical training was needed in Midland County. A "Forum for Technical Training" was established to consider the issues. These efforts culminated into an initiative called MITECH+. MITECH+ is a new nonprofit which focuses on being a broker/agent creating improved linkages between students (both youth and adults) and current training providers. MITECH+ will work to fill gaps in training and trigger innovation in the way o( education and training is delivered in the future.

The Albion Community Foundation help to leverage the $1 million needed to bring a new health clinic to Albion, which was a necessity as the hospital recently closed. This facility is offering excellent services and helping to keep the residents of Albion healthier. The ACCF has grown in the last few years to be seen as part of the solution Allegan County Community in this county instead of the checkbook of the county. It is now Foundation commonplace that the foundation is asked to come to the table to serve on committees and discussions that aren't just in search of funding. We are becoming know as not only a non-profit champion but a respected voice behind the scenes. Ann Arbor Area Community AAACF jointly hosted (with the Washtenaw United Way) a Community Summit for Nonprofit Management Capacity to assist local nonprofits in Foundation clarifying and communicating their management capacity needs and issues. Held on the campus of Eastern Michigan University, the Summit was the result of a comprehensive Needs Assessment of several hundred local nonprofits conducted by AAACF, WUW, and the NEW Center.

Battle Creek Community Foundation The Battle Creek Community Foundation has continued to provide a key leadership role in the health arena. In the last year, the Community Foundation has continued to be a catalyst and organizing force for the Regional Health Alliance. Additionally, in the past year, the Community Foundation has partpered to reach out to communities in need in our county. We have been a collaborator with other key stakeholders and community leaders in the town of Albion on the eastern side of the county. Confronted with challenges, Albion has come together to collectively address the health needs of its citizens. The Battle Creek Community Foundation has served as a neutral convener and partner in those discussions and is proud to be a part of that ongoing collaborative. Bay Area Community Foundation BACF partnered with an area leadership program to build a skate park for youth recreation . With the help of corporate and governmental sponsors, Bay Area Community Foundation raised $187,000 for development of an integrated · math/science/environmental curriculum.

The author presented the findings in her book, "Ghosts from the Nursery" to more than 45 non profit agencies. Following her presentations, leaders of NPOs and community residents formed discussion groups assisted by trained facilitators to identify and explore current and needed programs to serve Berrien County's youngest children. The Berrien Community Foundation also underwrote a large portion of the cost of "Ghosts from the Nursery" and distributed them to the NPOs and public and school libraries throughout Berrien County. More recently, the Berrien County Intermediate School District launched the "Early On" program to address the same issues exposed and discussed during the seminar.

Our foundation takes the lead in having a county wide arts and cultural survey performed. We are fortunate in having the William Bonifas Fine Arts Center here in Escanaba. It is home to an arts gallery; a theatre group, a crafting group, an artistic shop, etc. In addition most area schools and Bay College also have facilities for arts and cultural groups. By taking the head role in this survey, the foundation hoped to accomplish a number of goals. 1) Avoid making grants that are duplicating. 2) Bringing all various groups and facilities together. 3) To develop an "outreach program." Helping to coordinate and advance a community-wide anti-racism strategy, in cooperation with other funders, other non-profit organizations and community leaders. Facilitating the CMF/MSHDA Homeless Prevention Challenge Grant was the foundation's largest endeavor in a collaborative community effort. A large portion of leveraging and brokering funds was necessary to meet the 1:1 match requirement of this grant. During the slow economy in this paper industry based community, it gave new definition to the words "fund development." It was intensified by the communities need for homeless prevention, as lay-offs and reduction of work hours was becoming an everyday trend . The positive note is that area individuals stepped forward to help with the match and we were able to receive the full grant amount for program assistance.

The GRCF awarded a $400,000 grant to GVSU toward building a Health Professions building on the medical corridor in downtown Grand Rapids. The grant was awarded with the stipulation that it be used to decrease the local health care dispari_ties among minority populations. The Foundation was aware of the African American Health Institute (AAHI) , an organization being formed to provide research, information and education to the health community regarding the marked disparities in health care and conditions among African Americans. Over the course of several meetings, the Grand Rapids Community Foundation convened the (AAHI) and key GVSU representatives to identify potential partnerships. The Convening resulted in GVSU providing office space and services for the AAHI in a key spot in the medical corridor. The AAHI will provide training for GVSU health professional students, and both institutions will The share research and recommendations for community changes. community will benefit from the coordinated efforts to recruit and train a diverse health care workforce, and by a potentially significant effort to reduce health care disparities. Because we have 106 agency funds we have developed activities and "tools" to assist them in their fund development activities: 1) a series of inhouse discussion sessions on fund raising. We prepared "homework" assignments to prepare them for the discussion, keeping the sessions focused, fun and brief. They really were appreciated - as indicated in our follow up survey. 2) We offered a gift annuity program for those who have endowed funds with us . 3) We managed campaign funds for more than 14 of these organizations. "Smart Growth" sessions lead by Keith Charters Community Foundation 2002 Annual Survey Report to the field Page 17 �(Continued) Examples of important leadership roles played by community foundations in the past year. · Greenville Area Community Foundation Hillsdale County Community Foundation The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area Huron County Community Foundation Jackson County Community Foundation Convenor and Involvement in Community Planning for Future: Lead and participated in an Action Team for an After School Program coordinated and identified through input from the community and facilitated by the coalition of greater Greenville (C.O.G.G.) Leveraging/brokering funds to meet community need: Started endowment fund for United Way Volunteer Connections so matching operational monies would come to the organization. We are working with the local sheriffs department lSD and Probate Court to bring about stronger programs and penalties to address juvenile issues such as crimes, truancy, and drug and alcohol abuse. This collaboration has been very successful. September 11th - Collaborated with several city and community agencies to raise $35,000+ for the victims and families most adversely affected by September 11th in New York and Washington, D.C. Raised close to $200,000 pass through money to meet some of our $750,000 in grant requests. Earnings provided another $90,000. Without organizing and approaching key people we would not have had much discretion in our granting for 2002. The role of convenor or facilitator have emerged as the most needed and applicable in Huron County. At this point in time, with low market performance, we have been able to make a greater impact by bringing people and groups together to collaborate on needs and desires. Some examples are: 1) Partnership developed in County among various arts and culture groups as _stepping stone to developing a Tri-county Cultural Plan with Sanilac Tuscol a County. 2) Meetings to bring preservation societies of 3 county lighthouses together to form an endowment fund. 3) Coalition of women developed with working title- "Women Mentoring Women" to encompass several women's issues not otherwise addressed. Bringing women into philanthropy. In November 2001, a group of fourteen arts and cultural organizations formally approached JCF with the proposal that we take a leadership role in assisting them with development of an Arts and Cultural Plan for Jackson County. JCF staff convened three preplanning sessions with the group to clarify the request and what it would mean in terms of sharing leadership of the effort. We have since decided to expand our commitment to include helping the group develop an organizational infrastructure, involve broader community partners, and assist in reaching four short term goals: 1) Develop a public art advisory committee for the City of Jackson; 2) Complete a cultural assessment survey of Jackson County; 3) Launch a geo-demographic study associated training workshops to increase arts and cultural organizations' capacity to develop new audiences; and, 4) Leverage outside funds to support the first three goals. We view this opportunity as an example of a possible "tipping point" where the investment of JCF's resources can make a difference in the quality of life in our community disproportionately greater than our investment. We see this as an opportunity to invest in a community-wide infrastructure that will increase the capacity of our arts and cultural organizations to: 1) Contribute to economic and broader community development; 2) Improve the quality of life and overall livability of the community; and, 3) Partner with other sectors and organizations to address problems and take advantage of opportunities.

Kalamazoo Community Foundation Leelanau Township Community Foundation Lena wee Community Foundation M&M Area Community Foundation Mackinac Island Community Foundation Michigan Gateway Community Foundation Midland Area Community Foundation Community Foundation of Monroe County The Kalamazoo Community Foundation has launched BetterTogether/Kalamazoo, an initiative that will reach out to the community to address their most pressing issues, as identified by the people who live there. The Leelanau Township Community Foundation served as a convenor for community discussions this year. Several members of the Board of Trustees formed a small group of civic leaders who are meeting weekly to formulate a vision statement that is intended to guide the future of our community. In addition, Board members are involved in an Affordable Housing Task Force for Leelanau County. Involvement m community planning through our Leave a Legacy collaborative, sponsorship of a Lifetime Legacy Philanthropy dinner, and efforts with youth , including volunteer activities, such as the annual Senior Prom (at a local senior center) and our first Youth Leadership Institute. TheM & M Area Community Foundation has been very involved with the Homeless Initiative originated by the State of Michigan. Staff and several Board members have been instrumental in trying to bring a homeless shelter into the community. The project was started by a small group of private citizens, but as time went on, it became the job of the Foundation to maintain progress. The Foundation, of course, disburses funds for the shelter, and became very involved in providing technical assistance. A new Board was formed and new money was raised to bring the shelter building into compliance with federal, state and local codes. Foundation staff attended all meetings, giving advice and encouragement, and is still following the proj ect-closely. However, there are several issues still to be dealt with before the shelter can open. We continue to oversee the funds, and to help the project along as much as possible. In the area of conservation, the MICF created the Community Conservation Forum and sponsored an educational series, open discussion forum and community charette to begin to face issues of growth and capacity on Mackinac Island. Convenor for community discussion around issues of teens and other youth in the community. Provide technical expertise to area senior citizen nonprofit organization: 501 (c) (3) assistance with bylaws, governance structure, and acted as fiduciary while paperwork is pending. Each of the FIVE roles circled below is a significant part of one initiative. We have convened, and our CEO chairs, the Entranceways Initiative Task Force. This group of leaders represents foundations , the municipality, business/industry, and citizens-at-large, who have come together to: 1) be proactive about planning improvements to the main entranceways and corridors in Midland, 2) consider aesthetics, green space, way-finding and common themes or elements as we do our work, 3) support the work of the City of Midland and our local developers as they attempt to create revised design guidelines which are considerate of the needs of each, and 4) encourage the business community to consider design aesthetics, green space and plantings as they plan new construction and/or exterior remodeling and landscaping. In relation to the community we have converged for several different community discussions this past year. We have also been involved in several different community planning projects that will continue into this next year.

Pleasant Area Community Foundation Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Saginaw Community Foundation Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan ~y community foundations in We are a fundraising resource for non-profits. I have counseled many organizations on fundraising through year-end appeals, corporate sponsorship, grant writing, friends groups and of course, endowment building. We hold Community Leaders Luncheons quarterly. Part of these luncheons includes bringing in speakers to talk about issues pertinent to our community. We sponsored a presentation by Mark Wyckoff, a specialist on Land Use Management, to speak to government officials in our ten counties. We continue to play a role in the "Leadership Little Travers" program to develop community leaders, which we helped start three years ago. We now assist with scholarship assistance. Probably the most important one is Emmet 20/20. We are the fiscal agent for this grassroots initiative to ensure that the people of Emmet County are aware of, and involved in, the issues affecting their communities. We have helped a couple of community groups with their fundraising by acting as temporary fiscal sponsors. Two of our unrestricted endowment grants last year were 1: 1 challenge grants. This leveraged other gifts from individuals and companies who supported those organizations. The Community Foundation of Greater Rochester, in its role as a convenor, brought together twelve leaders representing the Chamber of Commerce, Rochester College, Oakland University, Crittenton Hospital, RG13, King Pharmaceuticals, Rochester Community Schools, and Macro Computer Products to discuss developing a leadership program for our community. The idea was embraced- by all and additional planning has resulted in the establishment of an Advisory Board, creation of curriculum, identification of a program director and a target start date of September 2003. The Leadership Rochester will build a broad-based network of community leaders who will enhance their leadership abilities and skills through continuing education, shared perspectives and community involvement in order to enable them to work toward solutions in the public interest. A grant form the Community Foundation will fund expenses related to start-up activities. l. The foundation is heading our local America's Promise efforts, resulting in Saginaw County being chosen as 1 of 13 nationwide demonstration sites. Thru this program I we introduced the Communities in Schools Program to the community as a way to engage individuals and businesses in school improvement. 2 . Thru our Kresge Challenge partnership, we are working with 23 local nonprofit organizations to 1. Raise endowment funds and 2. Increase their capacity thru technical assistance programs. In addition to investments in the landscape, the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, through the Green Ways Initiative, has had a profound effect on the community in three different arenas. The first is the creation of a process in which the various municipalities and community groups can collaborate successfully. Because the Green Ways Initiative brings communities together to plan and work across jurisdictional lines, never-before created coalitions of neighboring communities are coming together to develop a shared vision for and use of their landscape. The second has to do with elevating the profile of greenways, and their benefits, in the communities. Greenways can transform communities, can bring communities and their neighborhoods together, can improve the health and · Community Foundation 2002 Annual Survey Report to the field Page 20 �-- --- ~--- -- · - --- - - ·- ---- Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan (Continued) Community Foundation of St. Clair County Sturgis Area Community Foundation Tuscola County Community Foundation Upper Peninsula Community Foundation Alliance well-being of those who use them, and change the social dynamic when people visit greenways. By citing the benefits of greenways whenever a Green Ways Initiative grant is awarded or an event is held, the community is becoming increasingly aware of those benefits and their importance to the way we live in southeast Michigan. The third is resources. Several state or federal funds had not awarded grants to southeast Michigan even remotely comparable to the percentage of the state's population. The Green Ways Initiative grants have leveraged significant resources, and (when the projects are completed) will have generated public funding grant awards in an amount that exceeds $4 of public money for every $1 of Green Ways money. Through the Green Ways Initiative, the Community Foundation has truly become a leader in linkage, leverage and coll aboration, in revitalizing the landscape and investing in the quality of life in southeast Michigan. We lead an effort to explore the possible creation of a non-profit center to house multiple organizations. We also worked with two groups that serve our low income and minority populations in an effort to better coordinate their work, reduce duplication and maximize resources. We held a community meeting to get input of community and organization leaders about what would make Sturgis a better place to live, work, and play. From this information a Board committee developed 3 areas of grantmaking to focus on over the next few years. Generally, we work with various community organizations to help them meet their objectives and to help us keep abreast of community needs . Providing technical assistance to our affiliates and guidance concerning various matters. Our affiliates are being operated by volunteers and we provide whatever support that they require in order to operate efficiently. 7 = No Response Community Foundation 2002 Annual Survey Report to the field Page 21 �Section III Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project Update �YA C 2002 Annual Survey Data Summary and Verbatim Responses (N=56) 47 (84%) lead foundations responded 9 (16%) affiliates responded YAC Assets, Grants and Gifts by Community Foundation Name Albion Community Foundation Allegan County Community Foundation Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation Barry Community Foundation Battle Creek Community Foundation Bay Area Community Foundation Berrien Community Foundation Branch County Community Foundation Cadillac Area Community Foundation Capital Region Community Foundation Charlevoix County Community Foundation Ch ippewa County Community Foundation Clio Area Community Foundation - Clio YAC Community Foundation for Delta County Community Foundation for Muskegon County Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan Community Foundation of Greater Flint Community Foundation of Greater Flint Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Community Foundation of Monroe County Community Foundation of St. Clair County Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area Dickinson Area Community Foundation Fenton Community Fund - South Lakes Area YAC Four County Community Foundation Fremont Area Community Foundation Grand Blanc Area Fund- Grand Blanc Youth Advisory Committee Grand Haven Area Community Foundation Grand Rapids Community Foundation Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation Greenville Area Community Foundation Hillsdale County Community Foundation Huron County Community Foundation Ionia County Community Foundation Jackson County Community Foundation YAC Annual Survey 2002 Report to the field Assets $Granted #Grants Total$ Gifts $945 Lead or Affiliate L L L L L L L L L L L L A L LL L $223,000 $1,673,767 $2,106,341 $1,224,536 $1,349,472 $1,389,343 $1,114,661 $602 ,062 $1,239,017 $1,400,000 $1,098,750 $248,407 $128,855 $527,727 $1,648,954 $1,281 ,488 $1,855,334 $12,701 $58,234 $151 ,632 $114,394 $80,183 $78,822 $67,921 $69,109 $59 ,771 $42,401 $38,342 $374 $0 $19,956 $91 ,755 $76,157 · $57,955 18 28 27 $162,617 $1 ,475 42 23 $1,050 7 $900 19 $400 27 $23,000 19 $200,900 $600 53 20 $0 $100 3 $0 0 43 $3,930 43 $200 75 $0 12 $0 L L L L L L $1,706,937 $1,370,294 $264,706 $268,648 $1,154,733 $2,162,128 $110,197 $91,957 $7,350 $12,507 $78,239 $52,007 19 19 13 11 20 17 $1 $0 $388 $2 $0 $200 I L A $556,693 $234,177 $20,190 $24,655 22 9 $0 $0 L L A $818,025 37 9 1 $425 $87,956 $28 ,560 $49,732 $1 ,000 L L L L L L A L $1,717,495 $1,653,228 $1,955,021 $959,286 $1,434,801 $210,836 $166,681 $1,076,239 $74,989 $74,842 $258,815 $45,130 $57,768 $7,100 $7,690 $61,812 40 13 70 16 13 11 10 24 $3,580 $3,225 $150 $0 $3,290 $75 $0 $1,150 $0 Page 1 �Assets Lead or $Granted #Grants Affiliate Kalamazoo Community Foundation Youth Un ited L $1,600,000 $50,000 17 Wa'j Keweenaw Community Foundation L $1,446 $0 0 $335,633 Leelanau Township Community Foundation L $10,840 8 Lenawee Community Foundation L 13 $1,801,500 $51,500 M & M Area Community Foundation $672 ,115 L $37,029 Manistee County Community Foundation 1 $600 L Marquette Community Foundation $324,414 $5,500 5 L Marshall Community Foundation $1,203,174 $39,656 29 L $13,128 10 Mecosta County Community Foundation A Michigan Gateway Community Foundation L $578,848 $20,122 13 Midland Area Community Foundation L $1 ,562,227 $46,449 26 Mt.

Developing a web-based mini-grant for high school students as well as a plan to speak to youth groups on how to apply for a grant. Working with the schools in doing mini grants. Getting the kids involved in planning. We funded a walking club, recycling programs, students taking a new direction (STAND) groups, peer mediation program, and a summer service program. RFPs for: 1) Program to teach decision-making skills. 2) Program to enhance teen/parent/guardian relations. See addendum C Funding community skate park on continuing basis even if no grant proposal was submitted. We saw a need for a summer social activity for community youth on a week day because most youth work weekends. We did not put out a RFP but rather coordinated as series of music groups ourselves. Some of our YAC go to elementary schools and explain what an environmental "mini-grant" is and how they can apply for one. We also hold a Youth Conference in the spring and invite students from local High Schools to attend . Our YAC invites a speaker to come and they also conduct a workshop to go along with the theme of the conference. Last year, (March 2002) our conference served approximately 180 youth.

This year the County-Wide Y AC approached the Resource Center about submitting a proposal for an Alumni Leadership Development Project that was attached to the Community Foundation's Summer Youth Initiative Program. The Summer Youth Initiative Program was funded by C.S. Matt Foundation and administered through the Community Foundation for summer employment, recreational and educational programs targeting at risk youth in Genesee County. The Matt Foundation Leadership Academy was first initiated in the summer of 2001 and I part with Y AC funds . Because project reports indicated that the project was successful and well received, in spring of 2002 the Y AC group requested that a proposal be submitted for consideration for the summer of 2002. For the 2002 - 2003 school year the South Lakes Y AC had conducted a needs assessment poll have a current Request for Proposals out. The issues are: Teen Pregnancy, Teen Suicide, Anger Management and Violence Prevention For the last school year the Grand Blanc Y AC group did not engage in proactive grantmaking however, since August of 2002, the group has approached a school club called UNITE to request them to submit a proposal for a diversity program for the 2002- 2003 school year. Encouraging volunteerism/community service among middle schoolage youth through our mini-grant program. Teams of Y AC members present to classrobms, do a mini-needs assessment, and encourage them to apply for mini-grants for a group service project. To address the issue of youth violence, the YGC elected to enhance existing and develop new Peer Listening Programs in Kent County high schools. The YGC identified a model program at Forest Hills Northern High School, and for the past two years, has been working in partnership with student Peer Listeners at FHNHS. Nearly 200 students and faculty from 17 West Michigan high schools attended the first annual Peer Listening Forum in 2001, and two schools attended an eight-hour training session. A second forum and training session are planned for 2002. In addition, YGC members and Peer Listeners, along with their adult advisors, created a Peer Listening Advisory Committee, which will present criteria to the Kent Intermediate School District that would allow the lSD to certify Peer Listening programs, participants, and advisors. Each year, the ICCF Y AC uses a portion of its grantmaking dollars to hold the "Ionia County Youth Forum," in which 25 students from each oflonia County's five high schools come together to Jearn about and discuss youth issues. In November 2001, the Forum included speakers from Big Brothers/Big Sisters, who encouraged the young people to become vo1unteers, teen moms from a support group in Belding who shared the challenges of teen parenting, and the Mayor of Ionia who shared his experiences and how he overcame challenges to become a !t;:ader. Finally, theY AC members designed a "game show" in which adult's perceptions of the challenges and issues confronting youth were compared to youth's perceptions of adults' experiences as teens . In addition to the activities at the Forum, over 20 youth-serving organizations had display boots on hand share information with the Page5 �GRCF- Ionia County Community Foundation (Continued) GRCF-Southeast Ottawa Community Foundation GRCF-Sparta Community Foundation GTRCF- Otsego County Community Foundation The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area Jackson County Community Foundation M&M Area Community Foundation Manistee County Community Foundation Marquette Community Foundation Michigan Gateway Community Foundation Midland Area Community Foundation Mt.

The academic year of 2001-2002 was a rebuilding year for the Southeast Ottawa Community Foundation YAC. The YAC had not met for several years, and had never engaged in grantmaking. As such, theY AC has not yet engaged in any proactive grantmaking projects. As this was only the second year of traditional grantmaking by the Sparta Y AC, and the first needs assessment done by the Y AC, no proactive grantmaking projects have been undertaken. 1. Y AC President is on the Community Foundation Board of Directors, 2. YAC students have "reviewed" programs targeted at youth and given their suggestions. 3. YAC students have served on many different non-profit boards. 4. YAC students have been very visible in the community volunteering and received a lot of positive newspaper support. Y AC follow guidelines of the foundation closely to ensure that grants meet requirements. They also discuss issues they see as biggest concerns of their peers and use this information when marking decisions. They ask for follow-up reports, accountability and opportunities for them to volunteer on projects they fund. RFP distributed Our Y AC is not engaged in proactive grantmaking, but does review and decide on all grant requests, which involve youth activities. These include many extra-curricular school activities, youth sports sponsored by volunteer grou_ps, summer vacation enrichment programs, children's theater productions, and prevention of youth tobacco, alcohol, and drug abuse. They do make decisions on funding more pro-actively, using their own experience and judgment to either foltow the requests for funds or increase or decrease funds according to their first-hand knowledge of the projects. This year they will be working off of the results from the "40 assets." This is something they are just starting. So far, they have discussed what they would like to fund. They now plan to develop a plan to go about getting these kinds of applications. Sending out letters to local schools requesting grant applications for specific areas of need. The 2000 Needs Assessment indicated Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs (ATOD) as the highest priority. The second priority was Recreation. Grant applications addressing those issues receive more attention during the review process. Of the $24, 285 in grants awarded 9/2001-8/2002, $18,088 was awarded for ATOD or recreation programs. We just completed a "Challenge Day" program in October, 2002.

These presentations helped the youth to think about their grantmaking and to make a greater impact in the community. In addition, as a result of hearing a report on youth risk behaviors, they have been invited to participate in the County's Substance Abuse Collaborative. Each year, students dedicate at least one half of the grant dollars available for projects that address one or more of the top ten needs of the most current Needs Assessment Survey. Promoting grantmaking among their contacts in the high school and community, including feature articles in the school newsletter and personal contacts. This YAC held a Youth Awareness Day called Yacapalooza. Businesses and organizations (public and school) were invited to display information about activities available to youth. There were exhibits from 1-4 pm and a dance from 7-10 pm. There were also games and refreshments. The OCCF Y AC organized a program to offer mini-grants to teachers in area schools for class room projects. The OCCF YAC also offered area schools funding to operate the "Be-A-Santa" project to distribute gifts to those in need during the holiday season. Recently participated in a Grantmakers/Grantseekers Coffee that featured the Women 's Fund, Tobacco Settlement Grants and Youth Fund Grants. Sixteen local agency representatives attended.

The funds were used to provide shelter to families with children. $1000 grant to the Neutral Zone Teen Center based on an application written by a high school student to start a city-wide debate team. The grant was matched (total $2000) by a private foundation. Within one year the team formed, found a coach, earned third place in a state competition and convinced the school district to support the team in the future. A small grant can make a big impact! I think our mini grant program had the most impact on our community this year. It involves a lot of small ($300 or less) grants, but involves youth in philanthropy even at the elementary school level. $25,000 to the Bay County Library System- This is part of a 3 year ($65,000) grant tot fully fund Teen Rooms at all library locations in our community (The Library has completed a capital campaign). $16,000 to HOYA- To enable Helping Our Youth Achieve to empower out-ofschool youth to set goals toward high school completion; to provide lifestyle management training in the workplace, to teen workers in training. Geographic area served: Benton Harbor, MI Project Prom- This is a series of after prom recreational activities designed to prevent under age drinking and driving. It started several years ago by concerned parents and continues annually by different groups of parents. The program has deteriorated and participation dropped to increasing restrictions on student activities culminating with the idea of locking all participants in one large building for the entire night. Our Y AC refused to give a grant unless Y AC members were give-n a_seat on the committee. Some parents were upset and resigned committee positions, but our Y AC members received praise from many parents- they helped to put together a successful program and contacted area merchants to assure the rest of the financial support. The grant to the City of Charlotte Youth Advisory board for $2,000 was able to address the problems that our survey found the most critical. The grant funded a forum to educate the city's youth on substance abuse and teen sexuality. Continuation of a comprehensive wellness program for adolescent-age students and their parents, designed to improve student choices relative to healthy diet and exercise. This program is jointly funded by the Y AC, the Healthy Youth/Healthy Seniors Fund, the East Jordan Family Health Center and East Jordan High School. Our Y AC gave $100 to each of the six area schools, for their all night-alcohol free senior parties. We received a detailed thank-you letter from each of the schools, and theY AC felt like they helped keep lOO's of seniors safe. The grant awarded to the Resource Center for the Mott Foundation Leadership Academy "MFLA" Alumni Leadership program has probably had the most impact on youth in the community. Fifty-six (56) youth were given an opportunity to enhance and expand upon leadership skills developed through their second year participation in a project focusing on such areas as, goal setting, teamwork, decision making skills, self confidence and career options. The targeted youth were primarily from low-income urban families where the risk of involvement with negative behaviors and activities were high. After participating for the second summer, the youth were extended an opportunity to become a part of another leadership program that takes place during the school year. Because referrals for the school year program have traditionally come from teachers, and counselors, many of these students had not previously had the opportunity to participate in such a program.

One hundred and one (101) youth were exposed to the opportunity to learn about career exploration as it relates to core academics. According to the final report 80% of the students increased their reading level per pre and post-tests. We granted $11,100 to Zone Productions this year. By doing this we assisted The Zone in renovating a building and furnishing it. Out of that location, they have set up a youth center with pool tables, music, video games and food in both a fun and wholesome environment. The Zone Productions have given kids an alternative place to go after school and have fun rather than be at home without supervision or walking the streets. We are very proud of what The Zone has done and are glad we could help them along the way. The summer programs for Newaygo County youth funded activities for hundreds of students throughout the county. The "Following the Leader Workshop" grant was the sole grant awarded in 2001-2002 school year. It allowed students from the Grand Blanc School District, who were not traditional leaders and who may not otherwise have had the change, an opportunity to participate in a program designed to assist them in taking on leadership roles in their school and community. Child and Family Services of Western Michigan "North Ottawa Girls On The Run" program- $7,000. Over 400 3'ct through 5th grade girls participated. Girls On The Run is an 110-week program that combines training for a 3.1 mile run with self-esteem, enhancing and uplifting workouts. The goal of the program is to encourage positive emotional, social, physical and SIJiritual development. In my opinion, the grant made to the Forest Hills Public Schools to expand Peer Listening Programs has the greatest potential to reach a broad spectrum of youth in a meaningful way. The Peer Listening Program that is being used as a model is extremely effective and highly utilized by students. The impact of Peer Listening on the student population at FHNHS is tremendous : students in crisis cannot focus on learning, and this program's success, and the reason the YGC has been so eager to replicate it in schools county-wide, is the high level of student involvement and leadership in the program. In addition, the "proactive" nature of the grant itself makes this grant a particularly good fit for the YGC. In my opinion, the grant made to support the Ionia County Youth Forum has the potential for the greatest impact. As described above, it is proactive in nature, anci the exposure to resources available and the increased awareness between youth and adult perspectives was outstanding. In my opinion, the grant made to the Underground has the greatest potential impact, both for Y AC members and the broader youth community. The original request was for general operating support of this teen (middle school aged) nightclub, but the Y AC instead opted to sponsor a single night, when no admission would be charged, and Y AC members would volunteer their time to supervise and engage the middle school attendees. It was highly successful, and many Y AC members are now regular volunteers at the Underground. In my opinion, the grant made to the Open Hearts Community Church had the greatest impact. The grant provided funds for church volunteers to construct a skate ramp that attracted many young people in the diverse, low-income neighborhood surrounding the church, and was staffed by church volunteers. Attendance at the summer program was excellent, and the program filled a need in the community.

Teen parents in Sparta, of which there are a significant number, receive respite care and parenting support from professional staff through this program. $500 will be spent this fall at a small school in our county. This will be an "open gym" program for middle and high school students. The area is underserved for recreational activities. Previous programs like this, funded by teachers and private citizens, attracted a large percentage of area youth. Center for Women in Transition $11,500 Girls on the Run/Girls on Track Program second grant for preventative program for girls 3'd- 7tl! grade. It was so greatly received that local program grew from 400 to 1,000 participants, becoming the largest one of its kind in the nation in only one year. Grants (2) to MSU Extension Service- Building of Concession Stand and Judge's Stand to be utilized in all riding lessons and competitions. In this case the group became directly involved by asking much more comprehensive questions regarding handicapped opportunities and application in Behavioral Modifications. The group did some of the physical labor as volunteers. It was an opportunity to see inception to completion. Our $7,500 grant to fund "Challenge Day" for Jackson County schools was an opportunity for youth and adults to come together and experience this great program. The impact of this grant is tremendous since the individual districts all hope to continue offering Challenge Days each year! Kalamazoo Public Library Teen Services Group submitted a grant request for "The Diversions Project" which provides books of encouragement to youth in local hospitals. Thisprog_ram was the idea of and designed by teens. In 2001-02, the Leelanau Township Community Foundation impacted youth through a $7,000 YAC grant that helped to furnished new playground equipment for the local public school. The new playground equipment was installed during the summer by community volunteers and welcomed the students back to school this fall. The swings, slide, and climbing bars add bright color and the joyful sound of children playing to the community. Purchase of a KIDS KIT for after school activities for Britton-Macon School, where participation is almost 80% of elementary students plus 3-8 parent or community volunteers weekly. Two of theY AC grants made in May of 2001 were awarded to the Marinette Recreation Department. They totaled $2,063, and provided scholarships for youth who otherwise could not afford to take part in some of the activities. It also contributed toward the construction of a skateboard park which young people in the community wanted very much. The two grants made a significant improvement in opportunities for those young people who typically are at loose ends during the summer and after-school hours. One of the continuing criticisms of the community by young people is that there is "nothing to do." This grant did something to alleviate the problem. A grant was given to the TMI rooms at the Manistee Intermediate Education Center to purchase a green house. The students grew plants that they eventually delivered to senior citizens throughout the county. Willow Farm- A horse riding therapy program for special needs children. It is an organization that had never previously applied and the program is different than any other we've granted to. It impacts a great deal of youth and is very positively viewed in our community. United Arts Council/Post Concert Series for $3 ,000. This funding for elementary classes allows all Marshall Public Schools elementary students to attend professional concerts throughout two school years .

Pleasant Area Community Foundation Community Foundation for Muskegon County Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan CFNEMI- Straits Area Community Foundation CFNEMI- North Central Michigan Community Foundation YAC Annual Survey 2002 Report to the field Grant of $3,528 to Mecosta County Council for the Arts for the Summer Art Tent project. This provided a spot for youth artists to exhibit their work during the Big Rapids local summer festival, "Pioneer Days" . Many students also sold their work and was an exciting event for all students in the county. We gave a mini-grant that theY AC members were really excited about. A local school wanted to provide a program for their elementary students about "cultural awareness." It was used to help educate the youth about cultural diversity around the world as well as in their own school. Our Y AC coordinates a Yellow Ribbon Awareness Day Grant Program -a suicide prevention program. We provide each high school in the county with up tot $750 to plan a day of events educating students, faculty and staff about suicide prevention efforts. We will be expanding the program this year to include middle schools. It is difficult to evaluate a program like this, but responses have been positive from both students and teachers/administrators. The American Red Cross grant was to provide involvement between youth and seniors with on site visits and activities. This was very successful. YAC sponsored a Challenge Day program for all local high schools. Challenge Day (featured at theY AC Summer Leadership Conference of 2001 at CMU) is a pro-active violence prevention program that addresses the issues of violence prevention program that addresses the issues of violence, teasing, stereotypes, racism, tobacco, social oppression, and alcohol within the context of school life. The program is designed to tear down the walls of separation and inspire participants to live, study and work in an environment of compassion, acceptance and respect. YAC sponsored the program for 2 days. Over 200 students participated from 7 schools, along with many community adult volunteers. - The YAC grant that has had the most impact on youth in Muskegon County is the Council of Michigan Foundations- Learning to Give grant. YAC awarded $10,000 to support this program, which teaches youth in schools across Muskegon County about the American tradition of "volunteering and charitable giving." Because of the Columbine-type incidents that have occurred over the last few years, teachers are searching for some way to teach sharing, caring, compassion and charity in the classroom as a means of combating the aggressive, violent, in-your-face behavior they are seeing. Already, the Muskegon YAC has heard a report from an elementary school student who took the values of Learning to Give to heart and has decided to get the mail for an elderly neighbor each day after school. It is this type of caring which will help to promote the tradition of giving in future generations. During the February 2002 grant cycle, the Youth Advisory Council gave a grant of $2,500 to Lincoln Elementary School for a trip to Lansing. Many of the students at this school are low-income and at-risk. The grant allowed 28 sixth grad students and 10 adults to stay in dorms at the MSU Campus. They visited the MSU Planetarium, fish hatchery, and the State's Capitol Building. The trip was designed to broaden their horizons and to show them what's available if they work hard and set goals. The students were required to keep journals, and they also had to raise additional funds for expenses not covered by the grant. Cheboygan H.S . Adopt-A-Family project which "adopts" as many underprivileged families as possible during the Holiday Season and provides gifts. Most of our Y AC members are grimly determined to address the problem of substance abuse, especially in a proactive way if possible. They have funded Project Graduation events, rallies, and motivational speakers . Page 11 �(Continued) Examples of high impact and creative YAC grants (2001/2002) CFNEMI - Iosco County Community Foundation Osceola County Community Foundation Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation Community Foundation of Greater Rochester Saginaw Community Foundation Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan Community Foundation of St. Clair County Sturgis Area Community Foundation Tuscola County Community Foundation Iosco Regional Educational Service Agency (IRESA) was provided $1,150 for a Youth Enrichment Success (YES) program. This is a student training program to develop and encourage better decision making skills for students experiencing school and community-related problems. The OCCF Y AC sponsored the program "True Love Waits" for all schools in the area. The presentation addresses teen sexuality issues, particularly abstinence and why teens should wait. Difficult to choose just one, but I think the Instead Club of Littlefield Public School is the one. The Instead Club is an after-school program and also runs in the summer. The Village of Alanson, where the school is located , is a small community in our county and there isn't much for young people to do . While abstinence is the main message, the program offers them many healthy and for activities and field trips. The coordinator of the program is young and has a wonderful connection with the kids. There is no doubt that the Instead Club keeps many Alanson kids out of trouble. Youth Fund partnered with the Tobacco Settlement (Healthy Youth/Healthy Seniors) Fund to award $4,500 ($2,250 from each fund) for a project entitled "Bully Proofing Your School." This program seeks to address the serious problem of bullying and teasing within the school environment. The program was a systemic approach to heighten awareness and offer alternate behaviors for all middle school students in the Rochester Community Schools system. Bridgeport-Spaulding Community Schools Yellow Ribbon Teen Suicide Prevention Program- Established a proactive, preventive outreach program to help address issue of the teen suicide. The Committee did a follow_up site visit to the Angela Home Hospice project and were very impressed. The teen volunteers at Angela Home Hospice built a closet of activities for the pediatric patients. Now, all the volunteers use these as they visit the patients. They supported new skate parks in 2 communities with grants of $10,500 and $50,000 The Bullying Prevention program put on at the Sturgis Middle School. $2,450 was awarded to the Bluewater Thumb Youth for Christ. Funds were used for equipment and renovations within a building used by the group to provide positive activities for teenagers. 8 No Response Page 12 YAC Annual Survey 2002 Report to the field ----- -- - --- ---------- �YAC fund development activities Albion Community Foundation Battle Creek Community Foundation Berrien Community Foundation Cadillac Area Community Foundation Charlevoix County Community Foundation Community Foundation for Delta County .

Currently de11eloping a direct mail piece for business owners in Newaygo County. YAC members will follow up with three prospects, set up a meeting and ask for a donation. GRCF's Donor Relations Director met with the YGC on three occasions in 01-02. With his assistance, the YGC engaged in a three-step fund development process. They developed a case statement, "You should donate to the GRCF Youth Fund because it provides funding for programs that address youth needs while teaching leadership, philanthropy, and responsibility." Secondly, the YGC identified potential donors (or prospects) and selected a set of prospects to approach. Finally, the YGC drafted an appeal letter and followed up each donation with a thank_you letter and phone call. Although the YAC has designed a fund development brochure, it was not used this year. However, Y AC members participated in the adult board's fund raising golf outing.

Currently they volunteer for fundraising activities, however they do not conduct any of their own. Very occasionally, a YAC member will accompany a director on a fundraising call. However, they have initiated a number of fundraisers themselves, most especially a cookie-baking project in which they took over a school kitchen to bake cookies, then sold them the next day at a Foundation fundraiser held by a local car dealer who offered free oil change to everyone who would contribute at least $20 to the Foundation. The fundraiser not only included oil changes, but coupons for car washes and other services for auto owners. YAC members also pitched in by vacuuming and cleaning cars that came in for the oil change. The YAC members also raked leaves for elderly and disabled people last fall; aski~g, as payment, pet food and supplies for the local animal shelter. They do work on projects for area service clubs and put the proceeds into their fund. Helped coordinate and participate in donor recognition event. Two adults put up a $500 match (for a total of $1,000) on funds raised by the Committee. They made presentations and requests to individuals and businesses in the community and have almost maximized the match. They also worked at foundation events parking and coat checking to fundraise. The youth group goes out into the community to secure funds for different funds that the Foundation has. Page 14 �(Continued) YAC fund development activities Mt.
